Chapter Eighty-Four: Meeting

"In Xia Lu Xuan, the Taoist chief is ......" Lu Xuan looked at the four people sitting on the gourd, but his eyes were finally locked on Yang Ao, and his expression was a little strange.

"My name is Zhang Yuanrou, gentle and gentle." The female Taoist priest jumped down from the gourd one by one, and after Yang Ao took Yang Mu from above, she withdrew the gourd from her waist, hugged her fist at Lu Xuan and said, "This time, I was ordered to come to pick up Li Xinian." ”

"When he came back, he was no longer in Sanyang." Lu Xuan said with a look of regret.

"I know, by the way, this is Huo Zhan, the great disciple of the Heavenly Master, the peak martial artist of the Transformation Realm." Zhang Yuanrou pointed to the tower man behind him, and then looked at Yang Ao: "You don't need me to introduce this one, right?" ”

"Well, no, I thought that Brother Yang would come, but I never thought that Brother Yang would walk with my Unified Sect envoy." Lu Xuan saluted to Mother Yang and said, "Old lady, meet again." ”

"You thought of today when you bet against me that day?" Yang Ao looked at Lu Xuan, along the way Yang Ao recalled all the things before, Lu Xuan seemed to be sure that he would definitely lose, he only felt ridiculous at the time, but now that he thinks about it, it is terrifying.

"It's not hard to guess." Lu Xuan stretched out his hand and said, "You have come from afar, come in first." ”

"So, you really didn't collude before that?" After Zhang Yuanrou sat down, she looked at Lu Xuan with some curiosity, she always thought that Yang Ao was secretly recruited by Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan and Yang Ao looked at Zhang Yuanrou at the same time, did they say that about their own people?

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yuanrou looked at the two of them puzzled.

"No, the Taoist is really ...... Foursquare. Lu Xuan shook his head and explained: "Before this, Brother Yang was a loyal minister of the imperial court, although his position was different, Lu admired Brother Yang's ability very much. ”

"Then why...... Are you so sure he's coming? Zhang Yuanrou was puzzled.

"Now that Brother Yang is here, some things are not afraid of Brother Yang making fun of, I didn't think that I would meet Brother Yang that day, according to my estimates, the official army will arrive in Shangyang as soon as the afternoon of the same day, who knows that I met Brother Yang just after leaving the city."

"So, you didn't come to wait for me that day?" Yang Ao looked at Lu Xuandao.

"At that time, there were only 800 brothers around him, Brother Yang's ability, he had seen it in the next, and he knew that he was invincible, at that time, the distance between you and me, I guess I couldn't escape if I wanted to go, so I could only cheat Brother Yang, fortunately, I won the bet."

"What would have happened if I had to keep you without caring about my mother?" Yang Ao didn't expect this to be the case at that time, thinking about Lu Xuan's wisdom bead in his hands and eating himself, Yang Ao didn't want to admit that he was indeed bluffed.

"What else? If I fight, I am a small congenital, I am afraid that I am not the enemy of Brother Yang, and I can only leave my life behind. Lu Xuan said lightly.

"You're not afraid?" Yang Ao looked at Lu Xuan, he didn't understand why Lu Xuan could talk about life and death so lightly.

"The so-called planning is in the sky, Lu has done his best to fight for it, no matter what the result is, there are no regrets." Lu Xuan said casually.

"I don't know if I should call you awesome or that you're crazy." After Zhang Yuanrou understood the whole process, she couldn't help but sigh, changing places, when she met Lu Xuan's situation, how could she still have the heart to think so much, if she didn't accept it, she would do it, it would be a big deal.

But Lu Xuan showed her another way, the most important thing is that this is a decision made by Lu Xuan in a very short period of time, just this courage is very human, of course, it is also crazy, normal people encounter this situation, I'm afraid there are only two choices, escape and fight, right?

"I'll just think Zhang Daochang is praising me." Lu Xuan's jaw said.

"How did Sanyang City break?" Zhang Yuanrou frowned and looked at Lu Xuan, there is such a character, and Senior Brother Guo Chang doesn't seem to be simple, how could this Sanyang City be broken so easily?

"At that time, the situation was urgent, and I was preparing to go out of the city to attack and disturb the official army's grain road, but I didn't expect to leave just the night before, and Sanyang was broken on the second day, and two flag officers were arrested.

"Shangyang County has a green moat, how can you break it?" Zhang Yuanrou said curiously.

So far, all the cities that the Guiyi Sect has broken through have been broken by relying on Zhang Yuqing's jade talisman, and Lu Xuan has broken through a county city with 800 soldiers and horses, which was unimaginable before.

Lu Xuan briefly explained the situation at that time.

Although it is simple to say, Rao is Yang Ao had to sigh at Lu Xuan's courage and courage, he just knew the reality of the official army during the day, and decided to go to Shangyang County at night, and successfully found a way to crack the green qi of the city.

Capturing Taishou can be said to be a trick, but he knows what happened later, Lu Xuan said that the prince and the prince would have a kind of Xiangning, and he broke the moat of Shangyang County cleanly.

"So, you bet against me at that time and it was also casual nonsense?" Yang Ao said bitterly, originally he thought he was a character, but compared with Lu Xuan's experience, he couldn't compare with Lu Xuan in other aspects except for cultivation.

"It's not all, as long as the general takes the credit of breaking the city, the development of this matter will basically be decided." Lu Xuan shook his head: "Like I just said, it's not difficult to guess. ”

"How?" Zhang Yuanrou was a little addicted to listening to it, and urged.

"It's very simple, Brother Yang is meritorious, but his general can't give him a reward." Lu Xuan explained.

"Such a great credit, no reward?" Zhang Yuanrou was puzzled.

"I heard a lot of news from Zhou Ji, the reason why the imperial court has only sent troops now is that there has been no coordination within the DPRK and China, and the official positions in the army will be gradually replaced by the children of the family, in fact, this phenomenon began ten years ago, to put it simply, in the past, the military power and administrative power were separated from the state and county, and the army basically relied on meritorious service, and promotion relied on meritorious service, although there was also injustice, but basically this process, as long as Brother Yang was born, as long as he had real skills, he still had the opportunity to ascend."

"The local Taishou has no right to mobilize the garrisons in various places, but now it is different, in the past ten years, the court has been fighting for this matter, and many families have sent their children to the army, of course, the rules have not changed substantially, but people from ordinary backgrounds are more difficult to get ahead."

"Why?" Zhang Yuanrou was puzzled.

"The reason is very simple, the children of the family, since childhood martial arts, reading, the best education, the ability is generally stronger than those of us who have little opportunity to be taught, as far as I know, ten years ago, the military camp is at most a master of technical combat, but now, most of the battalion at this level are congenital masters, ordinary people have no chance to learn any exercises, the addition of these people, virtually compressed the road to the advancement of ordinary people, unless it is like Brother Yang, but even Brother Yang, in fact, can no longer be regarded as ordinary people."

Yang Ao nodded silently, his background is not high, but he has been in the army for three generations, and his family not only has the inheritance of the martial arts, but also has the opportunity to contact the art of war.

Under this set of logic, the rich children who have been best trained since childhood are naturally easier to be promoted than ordinary people, which is really relying on ability to speak.

"Then why can't you be promoted?" Yang Ao frowned.

"Because the rules have changed, this time my Guiyijiao uprising, although it has shaken the foundation of the Daqian country, but for the wealthy family, it is not necessarily a bad thing, there are so many Daqian's troops, but my Guiyijiao uprising is all over Kyushu, and the border army has to fight against foreign enemies, and it cannot be moved lightly, so it will definitely divide some military power to the locality."

"Wouldn't that be more official?" Zhang Yuanrou was puzzled.

"It's more, but it's still in the initial stage, and it will have to wait for the imperial court to suffer a few defeats before it starts to exert its strength, and the local military attache will definitely be selected from the army first, and in order to control the military power, how can those big families tolerate ordinary people meddling in the military power? At least not yet, when they really grasp the local military power, they will select some people from among the talents like Brother Yang as henchmen and put them up. ”

"That's why they're so anxious to get rid of Yang Ao?" Zhang Yuanrou said suddenly.

Lu Xuan smiled silently, in fact, he didn't expect the other party to be so extreme, the reason behind this, in the final analysis, is still in the military rations, they need a person to take the blame, and Yang Ao, who is unsealable and not easy to manage, is very suitable.

It's just that the root cause is in his own place, Lu Xuan naturally can't say it, anyway, the meaning is almost the same.
