Chapter 216: Miss Yang
In the eyes of the soldiers and civilians of the Thunderbolt Army, Ouyang Xuan was a god-like existence, and in the eyes of the Mongols, Yu Xing, Cao Zhizhou and others, he was also a decisive person. Unexpectedly, it was messed up by a line of Yang Yan's letter. In desperation, he had to take the letter to discuss with Rude. Seeing Ouyang Xuan's embarrassed appearance, Lu Dezhi laughed and congratulated him, which made Ouyang Xuan blush again.
The reason why Ouyang Xuan looked for Lu Dezhi was to quietly ask for an idea, after all, he had no relatives and had no experience in the affairs of men and women. Unexpectedly, after retracting his smile, Lu Dezhi's face became more and more serious, and his brows furrowed. In his opinion, this was not a private matter between Ouyang Xuan and Yang Yan at all, but a major matter related to the Thunderbolt Army. At that moment, he asked Li Shuang, Yu Zhu and Boss Qian to come over to discuss, and the rest of the high-level Thunderbolt Army were not at the headquarters, otherwise he would have invited them to discuss it would be unknown. Ouyang Xuan was even more embarrassed when he saw this battle, and simply left. Li Shuang and Yu Zhu, who have not been smiling all year round, did not stop them when they saw this, but just smiled at his back and shouted: "Brother Xuan, you can rest assured, we will be able to discuss a proper strategy to achieve your marriage with Miss Yang."
In fact, there was nothing wrong with Rude's handling. Ouyang Xuan is now the leader of the Perak Army and the Yongkang Zhijun appointed by the imperial court, while Yang Yan is the daughter of the lord of Banzhou. If it is not handled properly, it will continue to fight with Banzhou, causing disputes between the court and court, and even causing soldiers to meet each other, resulting in the loss of anti-Mongolian forces. It is said that Lu Dezhi and others have never encountered such a situation, and Yang Yan did not play cards according to common sense, which made several people hurt their brains. After discussing for a long time, Li Shuang decided to find out the situation first and then make the next step.
It is said that Yang Yan and others are ready to leave for Banzhou, but they are told that water bandits are rampant during this time, and it is not suitable to sail for the time being. It is said that Yang Yan and Ran Zhong are such smart people, the Thunderbolt Army's naval ships are strong and artillery, and there is a trace of water bandits in their activity area. But Boss Qian delayed sending ships, and they had to stay. It's just that the days of waiting are not difficult, and the high-ranking people of the Perak Army continue to come to visit the cold noise, and the standard of food and drink has also been raised - from the standard of caravans to the standard of missions. The most satisfying thing is that Boss Qian actually sent instructors to start teaching Banshu guards to use firearms, claiming that this is a service that comes with the sale of firearms.
Boss Qian frequently asked Ran Zhong to drink wine and eat meat, and inquired about the situation of the Yang family in Banzhou. Although this Ran Zhong is steady, he is bold and upright by nature, and after making a friend of Boss Qian, he will tell everything he knows. Cao Ergou's wife, Qian Yanmei, also plays with Yang Yan and Cui'er from time to time, and none of them are twisted and pinched, and they have nothing to say like old friends after a few days. Therefore, when the Banzhou guards learned how to practice the use of muskets, artillery, grenades, and mines, the Thunderbolt Army also learned the reason why Yang Yan came to the Thunderbolt Army this time.
As the lord of Banzhou, the Yang family was not prosperous, so the heads of the family mostly used marriages with the big clans to strengthen their rule. The current head of the family, Yang Wen, has only one son and one daughter, the youngest son Yang Bangxian is thirteen years old, and the eldest daughter is twenty-year-old Yang Yan. Since Yang Yan was fourteen years old, Yang Wen has tried many times to get Yang Yan to marry the son of a local clan, and even Yu Xing once proposed marriage for his son Yu Dazhong, but he failed to do so. Yang Yan looked down on those teenagers of the big clan, thinking that they had a narrow vision and only fought for fame and fortune. And the marriage with Yu Dazhong is even more impossible, one is that Yang Wen is really disgusted with the greed of Yu Xing's father and son, and the other is that Yu Dazhong has already been a wife, and the Yang family will never let their daughter be a concubine.
Although Banzhou is also "the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker" in marriage, Yang Wen is open-minded and loves his daughter, and everything depends on Yang Yan. In just a blink of an eye, Yang Yan was still unmarried at the age of twenty, which made Yang Wen annoyed. After the rise of the Thunderbolt Army, Ouyang Xuan's deeds also spread to Banzhou through caravans, monks, and storytellers. Yang Wen also learned about Ouyang Xuan's situation from Yu Xing, Diaoyu City Zhang Jue and others, but it is difficult to argue whether these feelings are true or false. In the mouths of Zhang Jue and others, Ouyang Xuan is a generation of talents, and he was born with a dignified appearance. In Yu Xing's mouth, Ouyang Xuan is very unbearable, there is no long-term order and humility under his rule, and even reading is disgraceful.
What really moved Yang Wen was actually Lu Wende. Since March, Yang Wen has been fighting under Lu Wende, and his contacts are naturally extremely frequent. During a drink, Lu Wende accidentally talked about the Thunderbolt Army, although he scoffed at the invincible firearms in the battle, he praised Ouyang Xuan a few words without pain, and said that Ouyang Xuan is still single. The speaker has no intention of hearing the heart, and these words are deeply imprinted in Yang Wen's heart. Then he wrote back to Banzhou and ordered someone to go to Chongqing Mansion to find out. In Yang Wen's opinion, if Ouyang Xuan is really as Lu Wende said, this marriage is also suitable. It's just that what he didn't know was that Lu Wende didn't know Ouyang Xuan, and he hadn't even seen him at all, and the reason why he praised him was because Ouyang Xuan was well-behaved and took the initiative to send him money and treasures.
After the letter was sent back to Banzhou, when Ran Zhong was about to go to Chongqing Mansion according to Yang Wen's order, Yang Yan quit. In her opinion, how can someone else be in charge of lifelong events, so she has to go to Chongqing Mansion together. Yang Wen led the troops outside, and the nominal head of Banzhou at the moment was his son Yang Bangxian, who could stop her. The steward in Yang's mansion also knew that Yang Wen doted on his daughter very much, and no one stopped him from going. In fact, in their opinion, it doesn't hurt for Yang Yan to go, because she is not a delicate and weak person, but because she has practiced martial arts since childhood, ordinary men are not her opponents. It is said that Yang Yan has a beautiful curved body because of perennial exercise, convex and backward, no wonder Ouyang Xuan swallowed saliva when he saw it, looking like a pig brother.
Yang Yan is extremely intelligent and straightforward by nature, and she is proficient in all kinds of reading girls, but she has been "not good at red makeup and loves arms" since she was a child, and wants to follow the example of Mu Guiying, the ancestor of the Yang family, and go to the battlefield to kill the Mongols. It's just that Yang Wen is willing to let his baby daughter go to the battlefield, in his opinion, as long as the men of the Yang family are not dead, there is no reason to let women go to the battlefield again. When she became an adult, Yang Yan had no choice but to retreat to the second, begging her father to allow her to engage in the financing of Banzhou military supplies, and from time to time she took logistics personnel to the mountains to hunt to train military measures. This went to Chongqing Mansion to buy firearms in the name of it, which was also within the scope of her affairs.
Yang Yan saw Ouyang Xuan with her own eyes, just like the legendary tall figure, generous conversation, high level of thinking and pattern, she had a good impression. The only thing that was not satisfied was that this person stared at her stubbornly, looking like a pig brother, and even Harazi almost flowed down. However, in the days of Chongqing Mansion, I heard that the Thunderbolt army was full of praise for its worship, and all the affairs under his rule were also in order, which was far better than the governance of the government, and it added a little favor. She also asked people to test the escorts of the Thunderbolt Army and asked Ouyang Xuan if he was a womanizer, but he received a negative answer, and then she was relieved and confirmed that Ouyang Xuan really liked herself.
Located in a place outside the Hua, Yang Yan is also like a barbarian woman, daring to love and hate. This is the scene where Cui'er takes her handwritten letter to find Ouyang Xuan.
