The Yang family's motorcade set off to Qianzhou and other places. They said they were buying food, which made the powerful men laugh wildly.
The respected deputy envoy, the respected daughter of the Zhou family, can only choose to bow her head when facing powerful people. When these words spread, the reputation of powerful people in Northern Xinjiang is unparalleled.
Some people even openly laughed at Yang Xuan and his wife, saying that Yang Xuan was just a country bumpkin who knew nothing about the power of powerful people. And the Zhou daughter was in vain, and she didn't even know how to advise Yang Xuan.
The Zhou family's steward in Northern Xinjiang heard this and came to the Yang family to see Zhou Ning. When they met, they said that this incident had greatly damaged the reputation of my uncle and the Zhou family, and gave him some suggestions.
However, Zhou Ning did not adopt it at all.
The powerful people became more and more proud, and entertained them continuously all day long.
Yang Xuan was indifferent, while Zhou Ning remained motionless.
Unmoving as a mountain, this is what the powerful people said mockingly at Zhou Ning.
However, Yang Xuan did not stand up for his wife, and was ridiculed by the powerful men, saying that if they had known about this, why did they do it in the first place.
Yang Xuan is very busy.
"Nangui City faces the northern border. It is a big city with many soldiers and civilians in the city. There are now eight thousand troops stationed in the city, water cities are built around it, and Jinshan City is on alert..."
Nan He raised his head, "If Northern Xinjiang wants to seriously attack Bei Liao, the first one must attack Nangui City. Otherwise, there is a risk of being cut off, and there is even a risk of the food route being cut off."
Yang Xuan nodded, "Beiliao wants to turn Nangui City into a hard bone. If we go to gnaw it, our teeth will be broken if we don't accidentally gnaw it. If we don't gnaw it, we won't be able to attack in depth. The idea is correct, but...
…”
Yang Xuan looked at the generals, "Even if it is a copper pea! I will smash it flat!"
Chen Zhoujun was transferred here.
The Northern Xinjiang Army, who had just been beaten by Yang Xuan, was a little embarrassed.
The Chenzhou army came with 8,000 troops, and the Northern Xinjiang army sent 5,000 troops, making a total of 13,000 troops.
The weather in northern Xinjiang has been good recently, with drizzle.
In the early morning, bathing in the drizzle, if there is no wind, it will be suffocating and uncomfortable.
But Northern Xinjiang lacks everything except wind.
The breeze is blowing, the drizzle is bathing, and it's cool.
Yang Xuan was preparing to lead his army to attack on such a cool morning.
He and Liao Jin had been arguing for a long time about the necessity of this battle in the past few days. In the end, Liao Jin had no choice but to compromise, but told him to be more careful.
Liu Qing sent him out of the city, "I have never asked, are you attacking Nangui City to intimidate the soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army, or what? If it is to intimidate the soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army, I believe you have other ways to avoid fighting.
.After all, when swords and guns are used, food and grass go first, which costs a lot of money."
Yang Xuan faced the city gate and said, "He Lianfeng's charioteer personally marched, and the whole country was shocked. It seemed that the Northern Xinjiang would be trampled to pieces by the Northern Liao cavalry in the next moment. The people of Chenzhou were also quite frightened."
At that time, I was thinking, why are we just making the soldiers and civilians in northern Xinjiang worried? Could it be that... we have a habit of being bullied?
I think not.
But Bei Liao is so powerful! They just bully Bei Xin again and again. Bei Xin is like a beautiful woman who can only bear it again and again.
And I also discovered that the soldiers and civilians in Northern Xinjiang are used to being bullied like this."
"I'm not as strong as others, so what can I do!" Liu Qing smiled bitterly.
"No, it's not just that I'm outnumbered, in my opinion, it's more of a helplessness. Chang'an has ordered that no one is allowed to attack without permission, so Huang Xianggong can only endure it most of the time. But now it's me!"
Yang Xuan pointed at himself and said with a smile: "When I was hunting in Dongyu Mountain, I encountered a tiger for the first time. I was so frightened that I fled down the mountain like a desperate man.
I had a fever for two days at home and had no one to take care of me, so I almost died.
After waking up, I took out the hidden meat jerky and ate it slowly. After I gained strength, the first thing I did was...
Liu Gong, do you know what I did? I took my horizontal sword and bow and arrow and went up the mountain again.
That time, I squatted for two days and shot the tiger's left eye blind with one arrow."
"Retribution will surely come!"
"No, I refuse to admit defeat." Yang Xuan smiled, "I have known since I was a child that I have to fight for my life to survive. Now, many people say that I am no longer as ferocious.
This time I told them that I am still me.
You yeah, it’s still you yeah!”
Liu Qing watched him mount his horse and go away, and sighed: "This child has endured hardship since he was a child. Now, there are still many crises around him. If it were anyone else, he would definitely choose to settle down, take his time, and use time to hone himself.
Wear down your opponents...
After all, I am younger.
But Zitai chose to fight tooth for tooth. If you can come to Beiliao, I can go! If you dare to show your teeth at me, I will knock all your teeth out!"
The official next to me said: "It's very dangerous!"
"Danger is dangerous." Liu Qing turned around, "What do our soldiers and civilians in Northern Xinjiang live for? Isn't it just to live for a breath? For that breath, even if it is the king of heaven, I believe that the deputy will dare to drag him down from the sky! Kill him!
he!"
He took a deep breath and said, "I am so happy to see him like this!"
Liu Qing looked at everyone, "Wait a minute, do you like it?"
"happiness!"
Yang Xuan's words reached Liao Jin.
He sat under the tree, with cicadas chirping in his ears. He slowly closed the book in his hand and looked up at the shade of the tree.
"I'm happy too!"
…
Nangui City was a place of the Tang Dynasty, and the city was built quite solidly. Later, after it was invaded by the Northern Liao Dynasty, it was continuously strengthened on this basis, and gradually became a strong city for the Northern Liao Dynasty facing the northern border.
According to Bei Liao, if Bei Xinjiang had not been deceived by the traitor general Sun Yan last time, if Bei Xin wanted to capture Nangui City, they would have to be prepared to fill the city with corpses.
If Northern Xinjiang sends troops, unless the force is extremely strong and dares to leave 10,000 to 20,000 troops to surround Nangui City, otherwise it will not dare to abandon the city and advance in depth unscrupulously.
Therefore, eight thousand Northern Liao troops were hoarded in Nangui City.
There are countless grain, grass, weapons, and materials for defending the city.
"Actually, I'm quite looking forward to Yang Gou coming, preferably now."
At the top of the city, guard He Song patted the battlements and looked to the north with some melancholy.
He was a member of Helianli, the great king of Nanyuan, and was recommended by Helianli to leave Zhennan and return to the city before Helianfeng's imperial commander personally went on the expedition.
Returning to the south was a fortified city, and he thought it was a good job, but he didn't expect that He Lianfeng's personal expedition failed, and then the new emperor ascended the throne... The court was in chaos.
"There has been a lot of chaos in the imperial court recently." Deputy General Tokucho looked at him, "After your Majesty succeeded to the throne, he kept filial piety for the late emperor. He only drank rice soup for more than ten days in a row. His filial piety moved the heavens and the earth, but he was still criticized as a pretense..."
"But your Majesty has not lost weight!" He Song smiled bitterly.
He Lianchun, who had been drinking rice soup for more than ten days, turned out to be fairer and tenderer. Looking at the fat head and big ears, it made people speechless.
The new emperor ascended the throne, but he was not of the emperor's blood, so he was targeted in various ways.
Not only the emperor, but Helianli, the king of Nanyuan, was also targeted. Some people accused him of appointing a private person to move He Song to important places such as Nangui City.
Of course, the impeachment must be based on evidence... He Song led the army to conquer the grassland rebellion five years ago. He performed admirably in that battle. He was almost alive, but he was stabbed and bled countlessly. He almost didn't survive.
He recovered from his injuries for nearly four years before returning, but there was no suitable position. Until something happened in Nangui City, his benefactor Helianli exchanged some benefits with others and successfully let him out of Nangui City.
Now, those people are using this to impeach Helianli.
An idiot who was almost killed by the grassland tribe could actually leave the south of the town and return to the city?!
You Helianli accepted his benefits, right?
This was a dirty word, but Helianli couldn't argue with it and could only show off He Song's achievements many years ago.
But that’s the old almanac!
In the eyes of everyone, He Song was just a has-been general. Without Helianli, he would have been like this for the rest of his life.
"Xiang Wen admires Xian Wen's ability. I think Xian Wen doesn't need to care about the disputes in the court." The chief minister was very good at observing people's words. Seeing He Song's melancholy expression, he offered words of comfort.
He Song cheered up, "Liao Jin was successfully assassinated by the Eagle Guard. It is said that his lower body was completely disabled. Yang Xuan was in charge of northern Xinjiang, and there were many constraints from all sides. Originally, I was thinking about whether he could attack... Now it seems that this
The idea is a bit ridiculous."
"Yes! In such a situation, how could he dare to attack?" Tokucho was also a little disappointed, "Xianwen needs a record to fight back against those idiots who impeached, and a lower official also needs a record to accumulate merit and wait for promotion. But...
Why!"
The two somewhat frustrated guards were sighing at the top of the city.
A team of scouts was preparing to leave the city to scout.
The leader saluted towards the city head.
He Song said: "This time the sentinels will go farther and kill a few more Tang people when they encounter them!"
"Take orders!"
The scouts left happily.
"Did Xianwen want to anger Yang Gou?" De Chang asked.
He Song said: "I have a taste of Yang Gou's temperament, and he is the most intolerable one. However, he is so anxious at the moment, even if it is a murderous provocation, I guess he will hold it in."
"If you hold it back for a while, you will become a turtle!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The city was laughing wildly.
The weather was good, cloudy with drizzle, and a bit of wind blowing, which was quite refreshing.
The two guard generals were talking about the recent situation in the DPRK at the top of the city. They were both a little worried, worried that they would be sucked into Ning Xing's whirlpool.
"Only meritorious service!" He Song determined his future path... Helianli was also being attacked by his enemies and could not take care of him. So, he should save himself!
After thinking about this, He Song ordered: "From today on, send more scouts and rangers to kill the Tang people on sight. Be sure to anger Yang Dog!"
De Chang agreed and said with a smile: "If he kills too many people, let's see if he still has the nerve to hide in Taoxian County and not show up."
"If you don't stand out, isn't that what you are doing to a turtle?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The two couldn't help laughing.
"The scout is back, hey! That's not right!"
He Song looked up and saw more than ten scouts beating horses wildly in the drizzle.
"This is……"
The scouts entered the city, and the leader went up to the top of the city with stab wounds on his body.
He Song asked: "Did you meet a Tang army scout?"
The scout knelt down and his eyes were red. "We met Wang Laoer, and the brothers were killed by him... Wuwu!" The scout whimpered a few times.
"That crazy monster with a head?" He Song calculated the distance, "This is wrong!"
Dechang asked: "You are waiting for more than a hundred horses. How many people and horses does Wang Laoer bring?"
"More than eighty riders!"
"You can come back with more than ten cavalry, which is good!" Tokucho thought this scout was good.
Ta-ta-ta!
The sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance.
The drizzle is like silk, like a lover's eyebrows.
Dozens of riders rushed out in the drizzle.
The leader threw the things in his hands.
Boom!
The round thing rolled a few times in the rain and turned out to be a human head.
The man smiled ferociously at the city wall, "There are too few people, we can't make any money! Come with a few more!"
"It's Mr. Wang!"
He Song was pleasantly surprised, "Wang Laoer is here, and Yang Gou..."
Ta-ta-ta!
The sound of horse hoofbeats could be heard faintly and very intensively.
In the water curtain composed of drizzle, a big flag was flying.
"What's that word?" someone asked.
"Yang!"
"Yang Gou is here!"
The sound of horse hooves shook the ground, and thousands of horsemen rushed over in black.
Until the city.
Yang Xuan pointed to the city head under the banner and said: "Last time I came here, there were still some gaps here. Now they have not only been repaired, but they have also been raised. Beiliao's current thoughts are probably to hold on."
"He Lianfeng passed away and He Lianchun succeeded to the throne. I am afraid that he will be exhausted for a while. Therefore, Beiliao must be holding on for a while, everywhere." Han Ji glanced at the old thief and thought why the hammer was not there this time.
Grab performance.
The old thief was deep in thought, and after a while he said, "He Lianchun doesn't want to use his military exploits to frighten the country?"
"I see you are still unfinished, old thief, when did you learn to hesitate?" Wang Laoer asked, hooking the old thief's shoulder on horseback.
"Your hands are full of blood, get out of the way!" The old thief pulled his hand away in disgust.
The latter sentence is: It is quite similar to Lang Jun’s current situation.
Yang Xuan sent troops to frighten Northern Xinjiang, but He Lianchun chose to stand firm. This shows that He Lianchun lacked enterprising spirit.
To put it more deeply: Following such a lord, the future is bright!
Yang Xuan led the generals to inspect the city, and after completing the inspection, he ordered: "Build siege equipment and set up camp."
Thousands of cavalry retreated, leaving Yang Xuan and more than two hundred cavalry.
"Old Han, I only have more than 200 cavalry here. Do you think the general will attack?"
"Does Mr. Lang want to use his body as bait?"
"Guardian He Chong, Yan! Tell them." Yang Xuan waved.
He Lianyan came over and said: "He Chong is a member of He Lianli. He suffered heavy losses when suppressing the rebellion in the grassland and raised him for a long time. Now that he has left the south of the town and returned to the city, he must want to make a difference."
Look, one more Bei Liao Tong is more useful than one more military advisor.
Yang Xuan was delighted, and Han Ji said: "How brave is this person? That's all, I asked in vain. He has been recuperating for several years, and even if he was once brave, he may have become cautious now."
"It's hard to say." Yang Xuan said: "People's hearts are greedy. Now that the great achievements are outside the city, can he not be tempted?"
At the top of the city, He Chong was so excited, "If we go out of the city to cover up the killing..."
The chief of virtue's face changed slightly, "Xiang Wen, don't forget Yang Gou's cunning. How many people have suffered great losses at his hands!"
He Chong thought for a while and said, "That's all, I'd better be cautious."
"Jianshui City and other places will get the news later. With their control, I think it will be easy and satisfying to come to this battle." The commander was about to find a place to take a nap.
"Let the peasants start carrying it!" He Song said.
Supplies for defending the city were constantly being brought up and piled up everywhere.
He Song said confidently: "When the opportunity comes, I will not let it go."
Under the city, Yang Xuan said with some regret: "He is actually a cautious person."
Han Ji smiled and said: "Lang Jun doesn't want to think about his reputation. He is a famous general in the Tang Dynasty. He has won many battles. How many losses have the Northern Xinjiang Army suffered in Lang Jun's hands? Even if the guard general is not calm, his subordinates will not be calm.
?After all, there is only one human head, and if the husband takes it, it will be gone."
Yang Xuan smiled bitterly, "To this day, am I still finding it difficult to fight?"
The feeling of being alone and seeking defeat made Yang Xuan feel a little sad.
At the top of the city, when a sergeant saw Yang Xuan turning his horse around, he shouted filial piety: "Yang Gou, do you dare to attack the city? I'm waiting for you!"
"What a bitch!"
Yang Xuan was a little annoyed, turned around and rode over.
"Protect Langjun!" Lin Feibao and Zhang Xu each held a shield and followed Yang Xuan on the left and right.
Yang Xuan rode his horse close to the city and suddenly smiled, "Why am I having such a dispute? It shows that I have been very angry recently. Hey! But now that I'm here, I have to make some noise, right?"
The sergeants at the top of the city couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw him approaching. More than a dozen sharp archers hid behind the battlements and prepared for a sneak attack...
He Song said softly: "Keep yelling!"
The sergeant scolded: "Yang Gou, how is your mother?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The city was laughing wildly.
In the midst of this wild laughter, Yang Xuan quickly took out the bow and arrow that had not been used for a long time.
As his inner breath cultivation increased, the bows he used became larger and larger.
Open your bow, nock an arrow, and let go.
Then the horse turned around.
At the top of the city, the filial sergeant held the arrow stuck in his throat and lost it. His body swayed and fell down.
