"Brother Yang, if I remember correctly, you were sent by your family to Beichan Temple to learn art when you were seven years old, and at the age of eighteen, you returned from art and were favored by Emperor Yang Dingtian to join the Praetorian Guard, sitting up from the lowest pawn, relying on military merits to continue to rise, and when you were thirty years old, you have been promoted to the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Yang Dingtian is as kind to you, and Brother Yang was also able to give the surname Yang, with Brother Chen's understanding of the foot, it seems that General Yang Lian will not betray Yang!"

Chen Zhiyuan retold the other party's resume like a few family treasures, and seemed to be confident, but Yang Lian was not surprised, but just smiled slightly: "I didn't expect Brother Chen to understand Zai Xia so thoroughly, Yang is really ashamed." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoBut now that the emperor has no way to govern the country, and now Yanzhou is in danger, it's time to find a new guide for the Yang family!"

Chen Zhiyuan was surprised: "Could it be Your Excellency?"

Yang Lian shook his head and said: "Don't hide it from Brother Chen, now His Royal Highness Yang Zhe is in the army, and we have already served him as the master, this time I have thought twice about Kuang Fu Sheji, I hope Brother Chen can also do it well in the future!"

Chen Zhiyuan did not answer when he heard this, but changed the topic and talked about the martial arts of both sides, his martial arts came from his own family, and his family history was no worse than Yang Lian who studied art in Beichan Temple.

Talking about speculation, Chen Zhiyuan asked casually: "Although Leng Ao is from Cangzhou, his sword technique is surrounded by wide openings and closings, and now he is quite good in the north, should there be a chance for this Yanzhou rebellion...... Where did they hit?"

"Rats ...... off!"

Yang Lian blurted out that he felt that something was wrong, and immediately got up and glared angrily: "Brother Chen, you ......"

Chen Zhiyuan said with a smile: "I'm afraid this is the reason why Brother Yang has to withdraw from the army, according to Chen's estimate, Yang Xuerao's army should experience another big defeat, and it is very likely that it will not be able to turn over, or it won't be long before Bailing City will be in danger, otherwise with Brother Yang's fierce loyalty, how can he let me go!"

Yang Lian said angrily: "If Brother Chen doesn't want to negotiate peace, then that's it, let's see the real chapter under our hands!"

In fact, the Rat Pass was originally a checkpoint at the intersection of Yan and Cangzhou, and Yang Lian deliberately leaked it out to make Chen Zhiyuan have a delusion, thinking that Leng Ao and the others' army was not deep, so Yang Lian still had the means to turn the rain and clouds.

Anyway, as soon as the border army withdraws, the other party will know sooner or later that if it is detected that the movement of the Leng Ao army has crossed the Jiguan Ridge, then as long as Chen Zhiyuan makes a little bad in it and makes the border army exhausted, it will be quite troublesome for Yang Lian.

Now that Yang Lian was deceived, he actually played Chen Zhiyuan a trick, so that he was still convinced, and sure enough, he got up and grabbed Yang Lian and said: "Brother Yang go slowly, in fact, what we both want is time, you need to defend the enemy, and I try to protect myself, not to mention that the conditions proposed by Brother Yang are not very harsh, and even a kind of preferential treatment for Chen, what reason do I have to refuse?"

Yang Lian reluctantly turned around and said embarrassedly, "Then Brother Chen agreed?"

Chen Zhiyuan smiled hypocritically at an old fox and said: "There is no problem with food and salary, but should I also determine my king's fiefdom, otherwise it will be bad if there is friction with friendly troops next time!"

The implication is that Yang Lian can only be released after the spoils are divided, Yang Lian has long expected this trick, took out the map from his arms, and discussed it with the other party like a businessman who must compare the baht......

Both sides were satisfied with the results of this negotiation, except for the document issued by Yang Zhe on his behalf, the rest of the details were understood by both sides, and the border army quietly left at night, and all the defenders of the southwest cities were withdrawn, and they were given to Chen Zhiyuan in disguise. In addition to providing half a year's food and salary for the border army, Chen Zhiyuan also deliberately took out a famous sword from the treasury and gave it to Yang Lian, and gave two boxes of jewelry.

Leng Ao and Wu Tianshou did not expect that the battle of Luojing would end so early, although they also sent a large number of rangers to reconnoiter the south, but the route chosen by Yang Lian was quite hidden, on the one hand, he personally led the army to take the small road and rushed directly to Songfeng Ridge, the gateway of Bailing City, on the other hand, he sent Zhao Qi to lead 10,000 elites as a partial division to take the Mouse Pass directly, sealing the enemy's retreat.

And Zhao Qi's army will also send misleading smoke to Chen Zhiyuan, so that the other party does not know where Leng Ao's army has advanced, but this move is too high for Chen Zhiyuan, although he is very confident that he can defend Luojing, but the newly held power has not yet been stabilized, and it is impossible for him to cause other troubles.

For Chen Zhiyuan. The most pressing problem now is to eliminate dissidents from the army, and then massively expand the army in the surrounding areas to increase its power, and the rest will not be taken care of for a while. But he saw one thing very clearly, that is, no matter who was in power in Yanzhou, he would plot to seize Luojing, and the future war could not be avoided, and he could only accumulate strength and wait for the pair of fools in the north to lose both, so that he could pick up the bargain.

However, Yang Lian's strategy was something that Chen Zhiyuan could guess, he led the army day and night, and even rushed to Songfeng Ridge one day earlier than Leng Ao's army, and when Leng Ao and Wu Tianshou arrived, the army on the cliffs on both sides was killed, and for a while arrows flew like rain, and boulders rolled down, catching them off guard.

Then the sword and shield hand shouted and advanced, the morale was like a rainbow, Leng Ao suffered this setback, and he didn't know the details of the army, so he suggested retreating ten miles to stand firm and make plans, so he threw down 3,000 people, and was swallowed by Yang Lian without even saying thank you.

After Yang Lian's small victory, he did not take advantage of the sheng to pursue, but led the army to pick up the fortress in Songfeng Ridge, stuck the traffic to arrive, and prepared for a long-term battle.

Leng Ao and Wu Tianshou's coalition army immediately organized a counterattack after gaining a firm foothold, but was repelled by Yang Lian one by one, after learning that the leader was the famous general Yang Lian, Leng Ao was taken aback, and he didn't expect that Luo Jing had been pacified, and there was no news at all, at this time it was hopeless to invade Yanzhou again, and the joy of annihilating Yang Xuerao's motley army was gone, especially when the news came, Li Ruihai around his own territory was very restless at this time, and after a few days of consideration, Leng Ao and Wu Tianshou finally withdrew their troops.

However, at this time, the rout troops in the rear came together, bringing a very bad news, that is, the Yanzhou army attacked the Rat Pass, and the Xiong Pass went down in one day, and now the back road is extinct, Leng Ao can still calm down for the time being, but Wu Tianshou next to him jumped up in shock: "How is this possible, the Rat Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are three thousand of our brothers stationed in it, and Yang Lian's main army is in front of him, what will he take to capture the Rat Pass?"

As soon as the words fell, Leng Ao retreated from the scout, and then said calmly: "Brother Wu, what shouldn't have happened now has happened, regret is useless, there are only two ways to go in front of us, either take down Songfeng Ridge and go straight to Bailing City, or quickly go south to see if we can find an opportunity in Luojing, and the worst thing is to ask Zhang Bang to take advantage of the road to let us go back to the territory ......"
