"He forbade me to go into battle, saying that he wanted to keep him safe, but in fact he stayed in the camp, and there was no danger to fart, so I slipped out of the camp while he was unprepared, and participated in the battle, which was to fulfill my long-cherished wish, and he was furious and drove me out. ”

Yuwen Chengdu sighed, "It's a shame that a man's husband wants to serve such a villain." ”

The two sat down on a big rock, looking up at the bright moon, Yang Yuanba asked in a low voice, "Brother Yuwen, I have a question, I don't know if I should ask it?"

"Just ask. ”

Yang Yuanba pondered and said: "I heard that Brother Yuwen is a nobleman of the Xiao family in the Southern Dynasty, and he is a Han with noble blood, why did he change his surname to Xianbei Hu?"

Yuwen Chengdu was silent for a moment and said: "I'm just a broken household of the Xiao family, I committed a capital crime by killing people in Longyou, it was Yuwen Shu who saved my life, and his condition was to recognize me as a righteous son, and I agreed." ”

"Since Yu Wenhua is unkind, then you can change your surname back to Xiao and simply stay in the army to establish meritorious deeds, can't you?"

Yuwen Chengdu shook his head, and said with some sadness in his eyes: "He can be unkind, but I can't change my surname, unless I return this life to Yuwen Shu, I once made an oath in front of him back then, redeeming my surname with death, every Yuwen Yizi has made such an oath." ”

Yang Yuanba was silent, a man can't make an oath lightly, once he swears, he can't break the oath, he can feel the helplessness and sadness in Yuwen Chengdu's heart, after a long time, he asked again: "Then do you have any plans in the future?"

Yuwen Chengdu was silent, half a sound, he let out a long sigh, "As soon as the entrance valve is as deep as the sea, I have been branded with the mark of the Yuwen valve, who would dare to use me? Yesterday, General Changsun implicitly persuaded me to go back and serve Yuwenshu well, and the implication was to tell me that I had no way out except to serve Yuwenshu, and this is indeed true, I can't get a military status at all, hey! When will I be able to break the shackles of this breathless gate valve." ”

Yuwen Chengdu's eyes were full of resentment, he thought about things too simply, he thought that he would be able to make meritorious contributions and be promoted by staying in the frontier, and get rid of the control of Yuwen valve step by step, but the ruthless reality told him that not only did he not even have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, even if he made great contributions, but he did not have a military status, he was not recognized, no wonder Yu Wenhua was so full of disdain, saying that he would go back to beg him sooner or later, thinking about Yu Wenhua and his ugly face, Yuwen Chengdu threw a stone into the distance, even if he died, he would never go to ask Yu Wenhua and that kind of despicable villain。

Yuwen Chengdu's eyes showed a look of determination, "Although I can't change my surname, I can leave him, I want to go to Juguo Gong Xiao Cong, he is my distant relative, but my goal is to serve a higher power." ”

"That's the way you're going!"

Yang Yuanba was a little disappointed in his heart, he knew that the higher power person referred to by Yuwen Chengdu was Yang Ye, and he originally hoped that Yuwen Chengdu could stay in the frontier and fight side by side with him, but when he thought about it, with Yuwen Chengdu's bravery, except for Yang Ye, no one in the world could afford him, and Yuwen Chengdu could think of taking refuge in Yang Ye, which was also his vision.

Yang Yuanba praised it and said: "I also heard that Xiao Cong is the closest relative of the princess of Jin, you can indeed get close to the king of Jin through this way and become his guard, with your martial arts, the king of Jin will definitely reuse you." ”

Yuwen Chengdu had completely calmed down at this time, he smiled faintly, or Yang Yuanba understood his thoughts, he actually wanted to worship Yang Ye through this relationship.

He patted Yang Yuanba on the shoulder, took out a yellowed booklet from his arms, and handed it to Yang Yuanba, "I promised General Yu to teach you the lance method, but I don't have time to guide you, I will return to Beijing tomorrow, this is the spear method taught by my master, unparalleled in the world, I will leave it to you, you practice by yourself, and make a commemoration, it is not in vain that we have a meeting." ”

"Won't Brother Yuwen go back to Beijing with the army?"

Yuwen Chengdu shook his head, "I don't want to see that person's face again, I'll leave tomorrow and leave him far away." ”

After speaking, he got up and stretched a long waist, and said with a smile: "I want to sleep well and forget all my troubles." ”

He strode towards his tent, "General Yuwen!" Yang Yuanba called out to him again.

"What's the matter?" Yuwen Chengdu stopped and smiled.

"Let's change the name! Don't call Yuwen Xiao, just call Yuwen Chengdu, how about it?"

Yuwen Chengdu looked at him strangely for a long time, and he suddenly raised his head and smiled, "Okay! ”

He laughed and walked towards his camp, Yang Yuanba couldn't help laughing, how could there be a reason to ask people to change their names?

．．．．．．．．．

When Yang Yuanba returned to his camp, the first thing he saw was two burly men kneeling in front of him, and their knees that never bent knelt down for him, because he did not use the power of his young marshal to save them from desertion, but used his military exploits to atone for them the death penalty.

There was only deep emotion and gratitude in their eyes.

．．．．．．．．

After resting for three days, the 100,000 Tianwu army began to return to the south in triumph, escorting the prisoners of war into Beijing to offer prisoners, Yang Su left 3,000 troops, led by the general Yujuluo, stationed in Wuyuan, Yang Yuanba also left, he was promoted to a hundred commanders, commanding a hundred scouts, although the military rank is not high, but the scouts under him are the elite soldiers of the whole army.

On the morning of this day, the army crossed the South Yellow River and entered the Hetao Plain, Yang Yuanba rode on his red horse, which was the war horse of the Datou Khan that he had captured, and he silently watched the soldiers of the Tianwu Army pass in front of him and march triumphantly to the capital, but he wanted to stay in the grassland, and he did not know what year and month he would return.

"Major General!"

A cavalryman galloped up, reined in his horse and shouted to him, "The marshal, please ask the major general to come over." ”

Yang Yuanba nodded, urged the horse to go to the Chinese army, and saw the red military flag of the Tianwu Army from a distance, under the military flag, Yang Su and Yang Yichen, Zhou Luohu and others walked side by side, talking and laughing?

Yang Yuanba galloped up and bowed his hand, "Yang Yuanba see the marshal! ”

Yang Yichen smiled, "Yuanba, we're talking about you, when will you bring a Turkic bride back?"

Zhou Luohu also laughed and said: "Yuanba, don't listen to this guy's nonsense, he said the opposite, we are worried that you will bring a Turkic bride back." ”

Yang Su smiled slightly, urging him to step forward, "Yuanba, take a walk with me." ”

Yang Yuanba hugged his fists at several generals, then turned his horse's head and followed his grandfather slowly.

"Yuanba, I left you a box of books, all of which are books that I often read, there are my annotations on the books, you have to read them carefully, my grandfather wants you to be a wise and brave person, not brave and strategic. ”

Yang Su let out a long sigh, "Hey, I want you to go to Guozi to study, but you don't want to, okay, I don't force you, but you have to study and learn by yourself, understand?"

Yang Yuanba nodded silently, not only the book of war, but also to learn Turkic and Sogdian from Kangbas to expand his horizons.

Yang Su glanced at his grandson again, and saw that he was preoccupied, so he smiled faintly: "I see that you are a little sad, don't you want to stay here?"

"No, it's just that when I saw everyone go home, I felt an inexplicable melancholy in my heart. ”

"Inexplicable melancholy?"

Yang Su smiled, "I don't think you really look like a ten-year-old boy, but like maturity, thoughts, tone, including appearance, you are no different from an adult, I will only have an inexplicable melancholy when I am twenty-five years old." ”

He shook his head, the ancestors and grandchildren walked slowly side by side, Yang Su looked at the fertile Hetao Plain, he sighed and said: "Actually, I don't let you go back, I have a deeper consideration, the imperial court is about to enter an eventful autumn, do you know? ”

Yang Yuanba was taken aback, "Grandfather, where did this news come from?"

"Silly boy, who would say this kind of news? ”

Yang Su pointed to his head and sighed, "Actually, at the end of last year, the Shengshang killed Wang Shishi, the governor of Liangzhou, which is a signal, who is Wang Shishi? Gao Gong's henchman, that is, the prince's henchman and foreign aid, I thought at that time, killing Wang Shishi, won't it be Gao Gong's turn next! Sure enough, I heard Changsun Sheng say that the Shengshang's close ministers were already impeaching Gao Gong and leading his army to go on a rebellion, and he was going to rebel. ”

Yang Yuanba was silent, he understood what his grandfather meant, Gao Gong and the crown prince Yang Chao are in-laws, and they are also Yang Chao's first supporters, the emperor wants to abolish the prince, the first thing is to get rid of the prince's supporters, so that the prince is isolated, and Gao Gong bears the brunt.

Of course he knew that Yang Chao was indeed abolished in history, and then Yang Ye became the prince, he always thought that Queen Dugu did not like the prince, but now it seems that it is really Yang Xiong's decision.

"The relationship between the prince and the Guanlong Group is too deep. ”

Yang Su sighed slightly: "Do you know Liu Jushi?"

"I know, Liu Chang's son is a man who does all kinds of evil, and his grandson has also fought with him. ”

"It's this person, most of his henchmen are the children of the Guanlong nobles, and the prince did not hesitate to secretly associate with this person in order to win over the children of the Guanlong nobles, which made the saint particularly angry. ”

"Forget it, don't talk about it!"

Yang Su patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "I'm telling you this, just to let you understand, I let you be in the frontier, I just don't want you to be involved in these rights and wrongs, now many important ministers in the capital know that the saint likes you very much, and you are the child of the Yang family that I value the most, so there will be many people who will do everything possible to trick your friendship, and I put you in the frontier to protect you." ”

Yang Yuanba nodded, "My grandson understands my grandfather's hard work, I will stay in the frontier with peace of mind, and I just ask for ....."

He originally wanted to say, 'I just ask my grandfather to take care of my aunt and sister for me', but in a moment, he suddenly remembered that the red whisk girl was Yang Su's concubine, so he immediately swallowed this sentence back and changed his words: "I just ask my grandfather to take care of his body, and please tell my father that he takes care of himself!"

Yang Su smiled with relief, it was rare for his grandson to think of his father, he pointed to the eighteen iron shadow guards who were following behind, "I left them to you to protect you!"

"No!"

Yang Yuanba refused without hesitation, "My grandson is already an eagle on the grassland, he can soar thousands of miles, and he no longer needs his grandfather's wings." ”

"There is a chance!"

Yang Su stared at him and said in a deep voice: "This is my Yang Su's grandson, well, take care of yourself!"

Yang Yuanba turned over and dismounted, knelt down on his knees and kowtowed to his grandfather three times, he turned over on his horse, whipped his horse violently, "Drive!"

Yang Su looked at his grandson's vigorous back in the distance, and sighed infinitely in his heart, with such a great grandson, why worry about the family's prosperity?

"Yuanba, may you become a pillar of talent as soon as possible!" Yang Su muttered in a low voice.
