Chapter 173 The big pit dug by the eldest nephew (I want to live for decades 1)
The hotter the weather, the more stressful life in Chenzhou becomes.
At this time, the three major ministries would mobilize their troops and go south to plunder.
This year, the Jibo Department was slapped, so it should be quieter. Only the Vashe Department and the Tiger Control Department are left.
Liu Qing sent a messenger to order the five county magistrates to alert the three major troops to go south to repair the city and train the army.
This is normal, so the military and civilians should do whatever they are supposed to do.
Liu Qing went to inspect the crops, and when he came back satisfied, he received a letter from Yang Xuan.
"Retaliation against the Kibo Department?"
In his letter, Yang Xuan passionately expressed his sympathy for Zhangyu County and his hatred for the Jibo Department.
"The Jibo tribe attacked our Zhangyu County seat. Naturally, they wanted to retaliate, but the timing was not right." Lu Qiang analyzed: "If we send troops to retaliate at this moment, the three major tribes will just be idle. Once the war starts, the outcome will be decided.
What is going to happen to us is our crops?"
The so-called people who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. The grassland tribes wander around, but the Central Plains people are settled.
Once you settle down, you will have fixed assets, such as a city, a house, fields and crops... you can't bear to part with any of them.
Liu Qing pondered.
"It's best to do it after the autumn harvest, but that's when the pasture is plentiful and the horses are majestic. This matter needs to be considered in the long run."
Liu Qing convened a discussion with the officials, and they all felt that it would be pleasant to send troops to retaliate at this moment, but the subsequent retaliation from the three major ministries would make Chenzhou lose nothing this year.
"They raise the horses well, let's plant the land well, and wait until the harvest is harvested." Han Li's words won the hearts of the people.
Lu Qiang added: "But we must not let the Jibo tribe be proud. I think we should continue to send rangers deep into the Jibo tribe and make them panic. Otherwise, who will take me, Chenzhou, and the Tang Dynasty seriously in the future?"
"
"Good!" Liu Qing nodded.
Immediately, the knights set off, with the belief of revenge, and continued to harass the Kibo tribe.
Yang Xuan's reputation as a jealous enemy also came to fruition as expected.
"Yang Ming's house hates evil as much as hatred!"
Even the officials from Zhangyu County who came to deliver beef jerky gratefully presented rainbow farts.
"Lang Jun's prestige has been raised to a higher level." Cao Ying said with a smile.
"It's still far from enough." Yang Xuan said humbly.
The two bickered for a while until the scouts arrived.
"Mingfu, we met a man from the west today. He is from the Tang Dynasty. He claims to be some kind of noble man."
"I'll go and ask." The old thief went out to ask.
He came back later and whispered: "Someone from Prince Liang's house."
"Prince Liang?" Yang Xuan covered his forehead and recalled.
Cao Ying said: "The King of Liang is the elder of the clan and has great prestige. Even the emperor is quite afraid of him."
Liang Wang Li Zhong was the younger brother of Emperor Xuande and the ancestor of the current emperor. He was of very high seniority. It is said that the emperor once scolded him for being too old to die, but Liang Wang was quite happy and felt that it was a pleasure to cause trouble for the emperor.
"The King of Liang also had ambitions for that position, but Emperor Xuande was so outstanding that he had no choice but to give up. Emperor Xuande showed great concern for him, and King Liang took this opportunity to greatly increase his prestige in the clan."
Yi Niang frowned, "The clan has always been dissatisfied with the emperor, and Prince Liang is the leader. It is said that Prince Liang and his family have four surnames... which means they are closer to the queen."
You won't cuckold the false emperor, right?
Yang Xuan thought of this almost subconsciously.
Cao Ying was obviously the same, with a strange look on her face. Yi Niang glared and slapped the table, "That's the bitch!"
Not sure!
Ever since he learned that the pseudo-emperor and his son were in the same camp, Yang Xuan had given up hope on the integrity of the royal family.
As for being filial to the emperor, I think that person is a unique member of the royal family. Otherwise, how could he hold a good hand of cards and end up playing badly?
Yi Niang said seriously: "Your Majesty is a good man with great talent and great strategy."
Naturally, this His Majesty cannot be Li Mi and his son, which refers to filial piety to the emperor.
Cao Ying also nodded, "Yes."
So Yang Xuan completed a self-salvation in his heart: Most of the royal family are not good people, but my father is born out of filth. I inherited my father's blood and I am also a good person.
"Why is he here?" Cao Ying straightened out the relationship, "The man is named as the imperial concubine. Prince Liang and his family have four surnames, which means they are the same as the queen. He shouldn't come."
"We'll see you later." Yang Xuan was also curious about the purpose of this messenger's visit.
Especially since this messenger came from the grassland.
Then the envoy was brought in. He looked like a man in his twenties, with a gray face, and the clothes on his body were similar to those of a beggar, with an angry look on his face.
"Sun Jian has seen Yang Ming's Mansion and asked Yang Ming's Mansion to retreat."
The old thief sneered.
Wang Laoer looked at his palms.
"Say it." Yang Xuan was annoyed by such nagging people the most, "If nothing happens, go away."
He was going to visit the Rejuvenation Pill workshop.
The emperor's uncle was recently entangled with him about the deposit issue. Yang Xuan insisted on a deposit, otherwise he would not produce it. The emperor's uncle said that I want as much as you can produce, but whether the payment can be owed.
hehe!
Thinking of this, Yang Xuan wanted to laugh.
Yang Xuan might have believed it on another person, but Helianchun Grassland was known as a bully and was shameless. Who would dare to do credit business with him?
Besides, that’s not how you do business.
Sun Jian looked at the old thieves and the others, "My young husband is in the Jibo Department."
"Who?" Cao Ying frowned.
Sun Jian looked at the old thief and the others again.
"They are all my confidants." Yang Xuan said.
Sun Jian shook his head, "It's a very important matter."
"Even if I go to assassinate Helian Feng, I will take them with me."
Sun Jian took a deep breath, looked back, and saw Zhen Siwen outside the door decisively avoiding him.
Nice manner.
Yang Xuan nodded secretly.
Sun Jian turned around and whispered: "My young master is Li Han from Prince Liang's palace."
Cao Ying's right hand on the water glass moved slightly, and then she said calmly: "We don't know this person."
Li Han is the beloved grandson of Li Zhong, the king of Liang.
He knows.
Yi Niang also knew.
But now I can only act stupid.
"My young man is the most beloved junior of King Liang. He wants the stars but not the moon."
"oh!"
Yang Xuan took the lead, and a group of people yelled in surprise.
It seemed that he was surprised that the old man, King Liang, still loved his grandson.
Sun Jian hid the disdain in his eyes, "Just a while ago, the young man went to the north to pray for King Liang..."
Yang Xuan and the old ghost looked at each other, and both recalled their experience of going to the grassland to touch bones not long after arriving in Taiping, and the excuse was to pray for God's blessings.
hehe!
There are countless gods worshiped in the Tang Dynasty. What gods can there be outside the northern border?
See through, don’t tell.
"This trip was quite successful. Maybe it was the promise made by the gods, but it required mortals to pay the price. On the way back, we encountered the Kibo tribe's riders and were subsequently captured."
The story is very touching.
Yang Xuan's face was expressionless.
Cao Ying even sarcastically said: "Taiping is too weak to rescue the young man."
Since the King of Liang was on good terms with the four surnames of the family, it was natural that Yang Xuan, the concubine's licking dog, could not flatter him.
Sun Jian's cheeks trembled slightly, "The young man said that he was willing to pay for redemption. So letters were exchanged between Chang'an and the Jibo Department. Seeing that the matter was taking shape, the Yangming Mansion tried its best to propose revenge against the Jibo Department. News, then the Chenzhou Rangers continued to penetrate deeper into the grassland, and everyone in the Jibo Department was panicked..."
Yang Xuan: "..."
Cao Ying, "..."
Yi Niang: "???"
Old thief: "!!!"
A group of people were dumbfounded.
"You mean, when Wynn heard the news, he was going to kill your young man!?" Cao Ying asked.
Sun Jian said sadly and angrily: "When he first caught us, Xiaolangjun said that he was a member of the clan and could redeem himself with money. But now that Chenzhou's army is approaching, what use does money have to the Jibo tribe? Huaien said
, I want to use Xiao Langjun’s head to sacrifice the flag!”
Yang Xuan glanced in the direction next door.
He always felt that King Wei was an upright nephew.
Even though his brother-in-law was trampled to death by Yang Xuan's horse, King Wei was still reasonable.
But he didn't expect that today he would be buried in a pit dug by King Wei.
Li Zhong is the leader of the clan, the elder on the left, the queen on the right, and the four surnames of the family are on the waist.
For such a big boss, if his beloved grandson is killed by Wynn because of Yang Xuanjian's revenge on the Jibo Department...
From now on, Yang Xuan will have one more fierce enemy.
Enemy!
Many people in the clan will become his enemies.
Great nephew, what a trick!
Yang Xuan calculated all the processes in an instant.
King Wei learned that Li Han was detained in Jibo, so he encouraged Yang Xuan to write a letter, suggesting that Chenzhou send troops to retaliate.
Immediately building momentum, Huai En learned the news, and Li Han became useless. If he didn't kill him, he would still keep it for the New Year?
"What's going on now?" Cao Ying asked.
Sun Jian said: "Xiao Langjun tried his best to defend himself, but Tang Dynasty's cavalry was plundering the territory of the Jibo tribe. The nobles under Huai'en were so excited that they all said they would kill Xiao Langjun to sacrifice the flag, and then asked for help from Tanzhou.
"
Is this going to turn into a big war?
"The young man said that this was a misunderstanding and was willing to mediate. Huaien said that he would give the young man fifteen days. If Chenzhou does not withdraw his troops, we would meet at the flagpole."
To display the head to the public, the head is hung on the flagpole and floats in the wind.
On the 15th...
Yang Xuan waved his hand, "You go down."
Sun Jian said sadly and angrily: "It's too late!"
After Sun Jian left, Cao Ying said with a livid face: "This is King Wei's method. Lang Jun, if you want to dissuade Chen Zhou from taking back the rangers, you will be slapping yourself in the face. What's more, we have no reason."
.”
Yang Xuan was just about to write a letter, strongly suggesting that we send troops to retaliate against the Jibo tribe. Not long after, this man wrote another letter, trying his best to persuade us that peace was the best and we should withdraw our troops.
Liu Qing would call Yang Xuan, split his brain open with a knife, and carefully check whether his brain had been changed.
Yi Niang gritted her teeth and said, "Sure enough, that bastard of a bitch is all the same!"
The old thief took out the military book and slowly flipped through it. He suddenly stopped, raised his head and said, "Let's just say it was the instigation of King Wei!"
"Since King Wei dug a hole to bury Lang Jun, how could he admit it?" Cao Ying shook her head.
Yi Niang said more seriously, "Once King Wei admits it, he will no longer have a foothold in Northern Xinjiang. What is the difference between that and killing him?"
Digging pits to bury the heroes of Northern Xinjiang, King Wei will become the enemy of the army and people of Northern Xinjiang from now on.
Yang Xuan stood up and said, "I'll go see him."
"Call some manpower." Cao Ying had a hint of cruelty in her eyes, "If things are not harmonious, we will have a falling out. The king will just lie dormant for a few years."
This is a way to kill the fish and break the net.
Yang Xuan went next door.
"Yang Ming's Mansion? Rare visitor!"
Menzi smiled and invited Huang Ping to come.
"It's urgent." Yang Xuan didn't bother him.
The two entered the backyard.
The eldest nephew was practicing martial arts, and a giant sword was swung so fiercely that Yang Xuan's hair flew back due to the strong wind.
"Your Majesty, the Yang Ming Mansion has something urgent to ask for." Huang Ping stood beside Yang Xuan.
call!
The strong wind turned and passed by Yang Xuan's neck.
King Wei threw the giant sword over, and a guard caught it.
"What's the matter?"
Yang Xuan looked at him and found that his eldest nephew looked calm as if he didn't know about this. He couldn't help feeling that the people in the royal family were shameless.
"Just now, a messenger came from the Jibo Department."
"Seek peace?" There was a smile in King Wei's eyes.
"No." Yang Xuan wanted to strangle this bitch to death, but he was no match. "He brought news that Li Han, the grandson of King Liang, is in the Jibo Department."
Dog, are you satisfied?
Yang Xuan was prepared to fight to the death.
As Cao Ying said, the worst case scenario would be to lie dormant for a few years and lay the foundation in Taiping County.
He saw a flash of surprise in King Wei's eyes, followed by embarrassment.
Your acting skills are good!
But I am a mentor!
Yang Xuan had never hated a person so much. He even thought that if he succeeded in revolting against him in the future, he would chop off King Wei with one knife.
"Li Han?" King Wei's emotion came and went quickly, "What is he doing in the Jibo Department?"
"Pray for King Liang!"
"This is a lie!" King Wei looked slightly cold, "Huangping, immediately send someone to Qianzhou to secretly investigate Han Jing."
"Yes." Huang Ping went out to explain.
"Li Han was detained in the Jibo Department. Once Chenzhou mobilized troops, the mood in the Jibo Department would be heated. Executing Li Han would be a good way to boost morale and share the same hatred with the enemy." King Wei seemed to have learned a lot about the art of war.
Not only does this bitch have insidious methods, but he also acts as if nothing has happened. It can be seen that the shamelessness of Li Mi's family is passed down from generation to generation... Yang Xuan sneered, "Your Majesty, what a trick!"
"I said that I didn't know that Li Han was in the Jibo tribe. Even if you think about it, you wouldn't believe it." King Wei said this with a cold face.
"Haha!" Yang Xuan smiled back.
After this incident, unless King Wei had the ability to get him out of Taiping County, King Wei would have no choice but to tuck his tail between his legs and get out.
Otherwise, as long as he is in peace, King Wei will never have a peaceful life.
King Wei said coldly: "The only way to do this is for Chenzhou to withdraw its troops. You have suggested sending troops to retaliate, but you can't say anything this time. I will send a letter to Lin'an immediately."
What's the use?
Yang Xuan turned around and said, "Goodbye!"
He returned to the county.
Cao Ying and others are discussing this matter.
"Once King Liang of Chang'an becomes angry, we are afraid that he will make an exchange with the emperor at the expense of the prince." Cao Ying showed her poisonous style at this moment, "Our best way to deal with it is to push King Wei out. "
Yi Niang said: "Lang Jun's reputation will be damaged."
Cao Ying smiled and said, "I will take the initiative. This matter was prompted by Huang Ping, the think tank next to King Wei. I didn't notice it for a moment, so I immediately advised you. I am guilty, and King Wei can't even think about running away. King Wei is damaged, and King Liang It can be considered a big gain. In this way, he will have less hatred for Mr. Lang."
This was a method of self-destruction to prove the matter, which reminded Yang Xuan of that movie where he had a caesarean section to prove how many bowls of jelly he had eaten.
But in the end he still refused to admit it.
"He doesn't have to admit it." Yang Xuan sat down, "There is another way to deal with this matter."
Everyone looked at him.
"Henpecked with gratitude!"
Everyone: "..."
In his ear, Suzaku said: "Men are henpecked, most of the time it comes from love. If you don't love, who is afraid of whom?"
"Old thief."
"Mr. Lang."
"Last time you said you found Father-in-law Huaien's tribe?"
"yes."
After escaping the pursuit of the horse bandit leader Hong Chun and returning to Taiping, Yang Xuan ordered the old thief to find out about Huaien. He felt that henpecking might be a weapon against the Jibo tribe in the future.
"Prepare three hundred cavalry, I want to raid that tribe."
