Yang Yuanba now lives in the east courtyard of Yang Mansion, which is the concentrated residence of the important sub-brushes of Yang Mansion, the treatment is much better than the original West Outer Courtyard, each sub-courtyard has a delicate small courtyard, the courtyard gate is luxuriant, flowers are blooming, there are about five or six bungalows in a row, according to the practice of Yang Mansion, each grandson is also equipped with two maids and a personal servant.

Yang Yuanba's yard is planted with peaches, plums, apricots, persimmons each one, the branches are luxuriant, the house has eighty percent new, five rooms, it was originally the residence of the second uncle Yang Xuan, Xuanxuan moved away after marriage, this yard was empty for more than ten years, and it was just renovated the year before last.

This was the arrangement of Yang Xuanting, the director of the Yang Mansion, but Yang Yuanba did not ask the maid and the little maid to serve, he just returned to Beijing on family leave, and he would return to Dali City after staying for a short time.

Yang Yuanba has been back in the capital for nearly ten days, and he has begun to miss the life of the grassland a little, his comrades-in-arms and the boundless grassland, and even the sour mare's milk wine, he misses it.

Yang Yuanba stood under a lush persimmon tree, slowly pulled out the sharp horizontal knife, threw away the scabbard, stared at the tip of the knife that flashed with cold light, Huo Di slashed out, the knife was fierce, and in an instant, the knife light was everywhere, and the cold front slashed in all directions.

He had already realized Zhang Xutuo's thirteen-style knife technique three years ago, which can be combined at will to make the knife technique ever-changing, and he is no longer as inexperienced as he was when he first played against Yujuluo, revealing flaws, and fighting on the battlefield, his rich experience has made his knife technique flawless, so that he has gradually mastered the three of long arrows, long lances, and short knives to cooperate in combat.

A persimmon leaf could not withstand the sharp blade, falling from the tree, the moment it fell in front of Yang Yuanba's eyes, a cold light split, the war knife was as fast as thunder, and an incomparable force swept the leaves into the knife light, seeing that this leaf would be crushed to pieces, but at this moment, it seemed that everything in heaven and earth stood still and even time was frozen, only the flexible leaf fell down with the blade, and the leaf was intact.

Yang Yuanqingba showed a faint smile on his face, after breaking through the stagnation and entering the breaking period, he had already glimpsed the most subtle of Zhang Xutuo's thirteen-style sword technique, that is, the power can be sent and received at will, and it can change from the most rigid to the most soft.

At this time, there is an indescribable loneliness in his heart, no matter how clever the knife technique is, it is difficult to fill the loneliness and loss in his heart, although he lives in the Yang Mansion, but his heart feels that it is thousands of miles away from the Yang Mansion.

At this time, there was a sound of running footsteps at the door, "Childe!"

This is the voice of Second Uncle Liu Yang Yuanba walked to the door and saw Second Uncle Liu coming from afar, "Second Uncle Liu, what's wrong?"

"Someone from the palace is waiting for you at the door. ”

Yang Yuanba was stunned for a moment, it was only a little past the fifth watch, what was someone in the palace looking for him? He nodded and walked quickly towards the door of the mansion.

There were two eunuchs standing outside the gate of the mansion, and when they saw Yang Yuanba coming out, the two eunuchs immediately saluted and said: "General Yang, Your Majesty urgently summons you, please enter the palace immediately to face the saint." ”

Yang Yuanba knew that his grandfather had not returned overnight, and it was estimated that there was a major military event, so he turned over and rode towards Daxing Palace with the eunuch.

At this time, the sky was already a little numb and bright, the east sky was white, in the imperial study of Yang Guang in the Taiye Palace, it was still brightly lit, Yang Ye and several important ministers had almost not slept all night, discussing the emergency military situation, and there was already news that Yang Liang, the king of Han, had raised the flag to rebel.

If Yang Chao is Yang Guang's political enemy, then Han King Yang Liang is Yang Ye's military enemy, Han King Yang Liang is the youngest son of Emperor Tianwu Yang Xiong, he was entitled in the governor of the state, his fief is huge, the east of the Kuoshan Mountain is its belonging, from the west of the Kuoshan, to the east of the Canghai, to the south of the Yellow River, under the jurisdiction of 52 states, commanding hundreds of thousands of troops, only Yang Liang's royal soldiers have 50,000 people.

Of course, Yang Liang's jurisdiction was not an independent kingdom, and the states and counties under the annexed state were still under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, but the army belonged to Yang Liang's commander.

Since the crown prince Yang Chao was deposed, Yang Xiong began to cut the domain, he has successively cut off the domain of Yang Xiu, the king of Shu and Yang Jun, the king of Qin, and imprisoned Yang Xiu, and Yang Jun, the king of Qin, unfortunately died of illness, just when Yang Xiong was about to cut the domain of Yang Liang, the king of Han, but unfortunately fell ill, and finally had to hand over this tricky matter to Yang Ye.

Yang Ye originally wanted to use a stratagem to trick Yang Liang back to the capital, during Yang Xiong's serious illness, he sent Qu Tutong to Xiangzhou to summon Yang Liang into Beijing in the name of Yang Xiong, but the news of Yang Xiong's death leaked, Yang Liang refused to return to Beijing, and it was inevitable to raise the flag to rebel, although Yang Liang has not publicly rebelled now, but they must prepare as soon as possible, so as not to be caught off guard by Yang Liang.

In the imperial study, in addition to Yang Ye, there are also ministers such as Yang Su, Yuwenshu, and other ministers, as well as Yang Zhao, the king of Jin, and Yang Lai, the king of Yuzhang.

They negotiated all night, and they were really a little tired.

Major matters have been decided, Yang Zhao, the king of Jin, strongly recommended Yang Su as the commander, while Yang Lai, the king of Yuzhang, advocated Yuwenshu as the commander, which once made Yang Ye a little embarrassed.

Although Yuwenshu, like Yang Su, was also the general of the Tianwu Dynasty, Yang Ye decided to be cautious after careful consideration, and took the more stable and more military talent Yang Su as the commander, and sealed the head of the march of the state road, the ambassador of the pacification of Jizhou Road, the deputy marshal, the history of the Xiangzhou assassin, Yuwenshu as the head of the grain of the rear army, Yang Su commanded the 100,000 Guanzhong army, and levied the army east of the Kunshan Mountain, a total of 200,000 troops to conquer the Han king Yang Liang.

Changsun Sheng still hesitated a little, "Your Majesty, the eldest son of the minister is working under the King of Han, and the minister is worried that he will be restrained by Yang Liang and will not be able to serve His Majesty wholeheartedly." ”

Yang Ye waved his hand, "The eldest grandson Aiqing can understand the difficulties of the country and accept the order in danger, I believe that Aiqing will not damage the righteousness of the country because of his son, and entrust the public with a heavy responsibility, and the public should not shirk!"

Yang Ye saw that Yang Su also had something to say, so he smiled slightly: "Could it be that the servant also has something to worry about?"

Yang Su hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with the old minister, it's just that General Changsun recommended Yuanba to go to Youzhou just now, and the minister is a little worried, he is young after all, and the minister is afraid that he will miss His Majesty's big event." ”

Yang Ye was ready to requisition the Youzhou army to attack Yang Liang to the west, but he got the news that Youzhou Governor Nangkang had a close relationship with Yang Liang, Yang Ye suspected that he and Yang Liang had colluded, and decided to secretly arrest Huankang, and Changsun Sheng recommended Yang Yuanba, the grandson of Yang Su, to carry out this task, Yang Ye had a very good impression of Yang Yuanba, and he immediately agreed.

Yang Su knew that Sun Tzu was quite capable, and he did not object to arresting him, but he was worried that Yang Yuanba would not be able to command the 30,000 Youzhou army.

Yang Ye took a few steps behind his back Yang Su said reasonably, although Yang Yuanba is good at improvising, but after all, he is young and lacks qualifications to command 30,000 troops, I am afraid it is a bit difficult, once the Youzhou army is defeated, the situation will be a little grim.

Yang Guang nodded, "Then in the opinion of the servant, who is more suitable to command the Youzhou army?"

"Lao Chen recommends two people, but choose one of them, one is Li Zixiong of Lao Chen's old department, the predecessor of Jiangshan Thorn History, now in Luoyang, and the command ability is extremely strong......"

Before he finished speaking, Yu Wenshu immediately objected, "Your Majesty, Li Zixiong is not qualified enough, I am afraid it is difficult to be competent, the old minister recommends Li Jing, the head of the state, this person is strong in martial arts, and his command ability is no less than that of the old minister, he will definitely be able to take on this important task." ”

Yang Ye is also from the command army, he knows the importance of the commander and the general's heart, although Li Jing recommended by Yu Wenshu is a famous general, if he does not cooperate with Yang Su...... It is very likely that it will lead to defeat, so he shook his head and said: "Daizhou is also equally important, you can't change generals temporarily, Li Zixionglian also knows him, and he has repeatedly made miraculous feats when he is peaceful, so he commands the army of Youzhou, and Yang Yuanba can be his barnyard general." ”

Yang Guang immediately decided, "Immediately go to Luoyang to spread the will of the Union, seal Li Zixiong as the general and the assassin of Lanzhou, and order him to rush to Youzhou immediately." ”

Yuwenshu is just a supporting role tonight, he wants to compete with Yang Su for the coach, failed, he recommended his henchman Li Jing, or failed, even Yang Su's other son Yang Yuanba was able to take on the important task, which made him frustrated, he has always been Yang Guang's henchman, after Yang Ye ascended the throne, he was eager to become the first minister of Tianwu and surpass Yang Su, and now he finally understands that no matter how much he is favored by Yang Ye, he can't surpass Yang Su, a deep-rooted old tree, he sighs secretly in his heart, and can only continue to endure.

At this time, a eunuch reported at the door, "Back to Your Majesty, General Yang Yuanba has arrived." ”

Yang Ye immediately smiled and said, "Let him in!"

After a moment, Yang Yuanba walked in quickly, he was dressed in a military uniform, knelt down on one knee and gave a military salute, "Yang Yuanba, the guard of Fengzhou Dali City, see His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Yang Ye's eyes narrowed, this kid slipped away very fast, and he disappeared after Renshou Palace, he had the intention to make a few jokes, but in front of the important ministers, he must maintain the majesty of the emperor.

"General Yang is exempt from courtesy. ”

Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yang Yuanba got up and saluted several important ministers, "See the ministers." ”

Eldest Sun Sheng smiled and said, "Yuanba, I recommend you to Your Majesty, there is a tricky task. ”

Yang Yuanba said without hesitation: "Weichen will never give up!"

Even Yu Wenshu couldn't help but nodded, not to mention whether this Yang Yuanba's ability is good, but this attitude is good, decisive and resolute, sonorous and powerful, no wonder Yang Su said that among his grandchildren, this person is the most, and it is really a bit famous.

Yang Ye also admired Yang Yuanba's attitude, so he smiled slightly: "You go to Youzhou to arrest Dou Kang, the governor of Youzhou, but you must not hurt his life, after arresting this person, Li Zixiong will be in charge of the Youzhou army, and you can be a barnyard general." ”

"Wechen understands, how many troops can Wechen bring?"

Yang Ye shook his head, "Not a single soldier is allowed to take it, you go alone, and I will give you five hundred taels of gold, you can recruit troops on the spot, and set off after dawn." ”

Leaving the palace, Yang Su was a little tired, sitting in the carriage and resting with his eyes closed, Yang Yuanba was silently looking out the window, but his mind was thinking about his task, I don't know whether to thank Changsun Sheng, or to scold him, Changsun Sheng obviously knew that he was coming to the capital for vacation, but he pushed this tricky task to him, without bringing a single soldier, let him arrest the governor of Youzhou, the martial arts, brave and good at fighting, let him have to smile bitterly.

At this time, Yang Su in front of him smiled slightly, "Why, do you know that it's difficult now?"

"Grandfather, didn't I report it to the Military Meritorious Department at Lake Harry?" Yang Yuanba thought of another thing, he had killed Luo's military exploits in Harry, and there was no news so far.

"The military merit saint of Lake Harry already knows about it, and he talked to me about it yesterday and asked me how to reward you, and I pushed it off for you?"

"Why?" Yang Yuanba said quietly.

"The wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, you are still just a young tree, now you need deep roots, not to grow taller, Yuanba, you are the pearl hidden in the sand by your grandfather, your grandfather doesn't want you to shine too early, including this Youzhou mission, I will shirk it for you, but I can't shirk it, let me worry!"

Yang Su let out a long sigh, his eyes were full of worry, his family was too strong, it was never a good thing, and his merits were high!

Yang Yuanba was silent for a moment, and then said: "I can understand my grandfather's thoughts, I don't care, but what about my subordinates?

"I know this, I've thought about it!"

Yang Su said lightly: "Now that you have a grange under your name, it is the normal distribution of the family, you can sell it, reward the meritorious soldiers, and the bereavement of the dead, I know that you knocked He Ruobi five hundred taels of gold, I don't care about this."

After a pause, Yang Su said slowly: "Remember, only you know about this matter, selling the grange is your own business, and it has nothing to do with me. ”

Yang Yuanba nodded silently, he could understand, he was just a small officer, and it was not a big problem to sacrifice the army privately, but his grandfather was different, and he knew this very well in his heart.

Yang Su saw that he could accept his hard work, and couldn't help nodding secretly, his son can be taught, his grandson is excellent in martial arts, at most he is just a general, but to become a handsome talent, he must know some taboo rules, Yuanba did not disappoint him, of course these things will not be born will, but to be able to draw inferences...... A little transparent, this is talent.

"Do you have any questions?" Yang Su smiled slightly.

"Grandson has another question, what should I do with this Youzhou mission?"

"You still go, I will send the Iron Shadow Eighteen Cavalry to follow you and let them help you, but you have to remember two points, Dou Kang's mother is the sister of the first emperor, that is, Princess An Changchang, Dou Kang is actually the saint's cousin, you must not hurt his life: secondly, the saint does not allow you to lead troops because you are going to pass through the land controlled by the king of Han, you must not swagger, let the king of Han find out your intentions. ”

Yang Yuanba nodded, "Grandson remembers." ”

At this time, Yang Yuanba suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Grandfather, this time the king of Han is in the east, give my master a chance!"

"Zhang Xutuo?" Yang Su squinted and laughed, "Okay, I'll have someone recruit him back tomorrow to help me." ”

At this time, at the gate of the Yang Mansion, there was a young silver-armored general, holding a gold-backed scimitar, patiently waiting for Yang Yuanba's return. ！。
