Northern Xinjiang, as the name suggests, is the frontier.
The main task of Northern Xinjiang has always been to resist the invasion of Northern Liao.
As the Tang Dynasty declined, this task became increasingly difficult.
When the external enemy is strong and the threat is imminent, the internal shortcomings will be covered up - one cannot be in disarray before the powerful enemy.
Those disadvantages accumulated year after year. From Pei Jiu to Huang Chunhui, the external environment faced by Northern Xinjiang became more and more bad. In the face of the disadvantages, they chose to endure it.
no way.
Those shortcomings affect the whole body at once, and once they are taken action, they will cause turmoil in northern Xinjiang.
Bei Liao is on the side, how can he not take action when he sees this?
In this way, it is a situation of internal and external troubles. If you are not careful, the destruction of Northern Xinjiang is right in front of you.
After Yang Xuan took over Northern Xinjiang, he chose tit-for-tat in the face of powerful provocations, but did not take any further action.
Dengzhou's purge of powerful people was more like a way to vent his anger.
Therefore, the powerful men in Northern Xinjiang felt that this person's skills were limited.
Until Yang Xuan took action boldly.
And it’s in the name of tax collection.
This is an impeccable reason.
Paying taxes is an obligation. Is it reasonable for you not to pay taxes?
Even Yang Songxian, even if the emperor is here, there is no way to argue.
Tax evasion is the right of carnivores and an eternal unspoken rule.
No one could have imagined that Yang Xuan would break this old unspoken rule.
The entire northern Xinjiang is in action.
Lu County.
Zhao family.
"He's crazy!"
Liu Yan was stunned.
Lu Yuan, who returned, smiled bitterly, "Alang saw the scene at that time. All these people were cheering and whispering that they were willing to die for me."
"I stand with the people!"
Jiang He looked intense.
Yang Gou's words were few, and his disciples gathered in front of a book, which became the truth that the scholars in heaven regarded as a guide.
For example, Yang Gou advocated feeding the people first, and then teaching us so that we can all settle down.
In reality, in Yang Gou's remarks, the people are still in Gong County.
Lu Yuan came in tired.
Jiang He walked out of the study, looked at the small tree in the courtyard, which was said to be less than four hundred years old, and said solemnly:
"Is he crazy? People are just cattle and horses!"
I shook my head and hurried out.
Until the family temple.
Looking at the ancestral tablet, he said faintly: "Northern Xinjiang has ushered in a madman Jiedushi. I whispered that he should govern for the people. That was a outrageous statement that I had never made before."
"Zhao Zi inherits the youth, and the legacy left by his ancestors still protects his children and grandchildren. For thousands of years, Zhao Zi has remained an unshakable and famous family in Xiaotang and the North.
The ancestors left a family motto that Zhao Zi can pursue power. But today, that family motto is difficult to adapt to the current situation."
I coughed dryly, took the eight sticks of incense handed to me by the steward, and inserted them into the incense burner.
The smoke was thick, and the tablets were blurry.
"In Chang'an, emperors and aristocratic families are fighting openly and secretly. The Yang family of Yingjichuan has been inherited for thousands of years, and has become a giant in the world. We are small things. We call the wind and rain, and our words and deeds make the sky change. Northern Xinjiang has now become the plaything of the rebels.
Zhao Zi should ask where to go?"
The steward and several M servants stood inside, with their hands tied.
Those ancestors were not servants of Zhao Zi, but they were the most loyal.
"Li Mi is a mean and ungrateful person, good at political maneuvering, and capable of governing the country. Yelu Jin and others are ambitious and want to control the government. Once they succeed...
Zhao Zi is a young man, but he has very few history books. There are many out-of-print history books in the young man’s family that he doesn’t have.
Read history and you will know the signs of ups and downs!
Once Yelu Jin takes charge of the government, he will be left to his own devices, driven by desires and leaders, until he plots to usurp the throne."
"Ever since Li Yuan and his son came to the throne, I thought that this was Xiao Tang's doom. Xiao Tang will be destroyed if things go well."
"A century-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family. The Chen Kingdom was destroyed, and all the smoke and dust controlled Lu County. Zhao Ziqiu was not guilty at all, and he even had to give some benefits. That is the legacy of our ancestors."
";Xiao Tang, if it is destroyed, it will be destroyed. If the dynasty is changed, Zhao Zi will still be a prominent family in the sky! I do care!"
"The current situation is both clear and exaggerated. The trend of Xiao Tang's strength is becoming more and more obvious. Above Li Bi is the King of Yue. This man is forbearing, but it is Yelu Jin and others who support me. m
If the king of Yue becomes emperor, Liu Yanming will definitely dominate the government and the public. If you take a step back, you can get a glimpse of the throne."
"Liu Yan asked: Should I sit back and watch the storm unfold, or... get involved. I have been thinking about this for several years."
"Why do you ask? Your ancestors didn't teach you?"
The tablets were silent.
"The current situation makes me seem to have seen the scene of the last years of the Chen Kingdom."
Jiang He knelt down.
"When the Chen Kingdom was in decline, it was by chance that the Li family became an emperor. In my opinion, it was just a matter of taking the throne."
"In terms of background, who in the world can compare with you, Liu Yan?"
Jiang He raised his head and looked at Liu Yan's tablet.
His eyes were burning and cold.
"Liu Yan, the ungrateful person in the sky, is it possible to give it a try?"
Tanzhou.
Before Zhao Rong was captured, Ning Xing was shocked.
The emperor was disgraced.
Who should take over Tanzhou next?
The dispute between the emperor and Liu Yan's men was over.
In the end, Helian had the upper hand because of Zhao Rong's capture.
The person who took over Tanzhou was my nephew Yang Xuan.
Accompanying him were the young general Shen Changhe and the counselor Liu Yanming.
Shen Changhe was Helian's confidant, and his coming to Tanzhou was beyond everyone's expectations.
Liu Yan, who was over eighty years old, looked angry and intimidated. He sat down in the hall and said enthusiastically: "My husband is sending a message. There was a dispute in Ningxing. The emperor and my husband each sent their own troops to raid Chenzhou. Chen
Shui raided Taiping, and Lin Jun raided Lin'an. According to the schedule, this battle has already begun."
Yang Songcheng glanced at the silent Shen Changhe, stroked his long beard, and a smile appeared on Ai Neng's face, "This matter is a competition, and it is also a response to Lin Ya. After all, you Tanzhou has lost Yanbei
The governor of the region, Zhao Zanrong, was even captured, and was said to be in disgrace."
Yang Xuan looked at Liu Yanming.
"Chenzhou has not been on an expedition for a long time, and there is no hope for this raid. If so, we still have to see how these seven people lead the army."
Seeing Yang Xuan's jaw drop, Shen Changhe continued, "If I lead the army, we should disguise ourselves as elite caravans to seize the domain gate. The previous sequence will still be disguised as caravan reinforcements. In this way, if two groups of people occupy the city gate, it will be considered as a counterattack by the defenders."
There is also a way to succeed for a while. Follow the former master
If we attack with all our strength, even if Lin Ya is here, we will not be able to escape defeat."
Yang Xuan nodded slightly, "Chen Shui is the emperor's man. You care about the outcome of the raid on Taiping. Lin Jun is steady, and my husband thinks highly of me. This time I was ordered to lead the army to raid Lin'an because he wanted to suppress the emperor's intention.
.If she succeeds, Lin Ya will definitely counterattack madly...
Yang Songcheng smiled, "It's no longer good to stick to it."
"Once he succeeds, Ning Xing will be victorious. If Lin Jun succeeds, my husband will be able to create public opinion that the emperor is capable of military affairs."
Yang Xuan had a sarcastic look on his face, "Xiao Liao built its country with force, but the emperor was well versed in martial arts. Tell me, what will these soldiers and civilians think of the emperor?"
Yang Songcheng said: "The emperor has a maggot with the little eldest princess, and that is your opportunity. I think you should send out scouts to find out the news."
"I haven't gone yet."
Liu Yan is such a useless nobleman. He once led an army to conquer the Shegu people and won the battle. In the Helian Group, his reputation is quite low.
Moreover, Helian attaches great importance to his nephew. Yang Songcheng is an old man in the Helian Group, and his planning ability ranks at least in the bottom eight in that group.
Shen Changhe is Helian's confidant.
That configuration, no matter how you look at it, is treated like a biological son.
As the eight people were talking about the situation, they heard slow footsteps coming from inside.
"Your Majesty!"
——The big official looked ashen, and in front of him was a gray-faced sergeant.
Yang Xuan sat outside, clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and asked, "Failed?"
The sergeant knelt down.
"Your Majesty, if Lin Ya hadn't arrived, your army... would have been completely defeated!"
Yang Xuan's face turned hot, "If you lose, you lose. What are you talking about? Come on!"
"Your Majesty!"
Several officials retreated.
Yang Xuan ordered: "The slow horse reports to our husband, Lin Jun, defeated!"
"yes!"
―A follower hurried out slowly.
Yang Xuan squinted his eyes, "You have some calculations about Zhao's temperament. Before he took charge of Northern Xinjiang, this person changed his stubborn attitude and attacked frequently. This time I defeated two raids, so I will definitely give up. Order Tanzhou to go down Go up and build Xunyu Pond to prepare for Zhao's counterattack
"Your Majesty."
―A big official came back and said, "The envoy from Ning Xing is here."
The messenger was sent by the emperor.
Before the ceremony, the messenger said with a smile: "I heard that Lin Jun lost?"
Yang Xuan nodded, "The envoy is angry?"
The messenger shook his head, "I'm just used to laughing. Even if I encounter good luck, I still do."
"Your Majesty, you have no orders?"
Yang Xuan asked.
The envoy said: "Your Majesty has ordered us to raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a while. It's time to move to Tanzhou!"
Yang Xuan said fiercely: "Report to your majesty, my lord, accept your order!"
The messenger said with a smile: "Lin Shijun was praised by Prime Minister Lin as the most beautiful horse of my family. I think he will disappoint Prime Minister Lin!"
Liu Yan said calmly: "Let's wait and see. That's right."
The messenger raised his eyes, "Is Mr. Lin okay?"
Yang Xuan said: "His smile makes you think of him for a long time."
"Oh! Who?"
"Turtle Lord!"
That's humiliating!
And it is humiliating the emperor's messenger.
The messenger's smile changed, "Maybe this is because I am smiling happily! When Your Majesty is angry, I will be angry. I will keep smiling..."
- A big official came back and said, "Your Majesty, your army scouts received several sergeants saying that Chen Shui led an army to attack Taiping, and almost the entire army was captured. Chen Shui himself was killed by random arrows!"
The smile on the messenger's face instantly solidified.
Yang Xuan looked at me with his hands behind his hands, "Are you smiling?"
The messenger's stiff smile suddenly condensed, "I'm going to say goodbye."
"Send the messenger."
Liu Yan waved his hand, and an official followed the envoy.
Yang Xuan turned around.
Shen Changhe looked solemn, "Both groups of surprise troops have been defeated, Lin Ya must be high-spirited. And the morale of his subordinates is low. If you are me, I will definitely send troops according to the situation. Your Majesty, Tanzhou, Ai Neng!"
Yang Xuan went back and sat down, "Tu!"
I waited for the tea with an intense expression, and even picked up a volume of paperwork and read it casually for a while.
When the tea was delivered, Yang Xuan took a sip and then said, "That's an opportunity!"
Shen Changhe was startled.
Yang Songcheng came back, Liu Yan waved his hand, "Stare inside."
Yang Songcheng went out to arrange the arrangements himself, and came back later and said: "Everything is ready."
"sit!"
Yang Songcheng sat down.
Liu Yan smiled and said, "You came to Tanzhou this time not only to defend the city, but also to compete with the emperor."
Hey!
Yang Songcheng exclaimed, "This..."
Yang Xuan said: "Zhao changed his defensive posture and became aggressive. It was an active retreat. I will be satisfied with the achievements of conquering Yanbei and Nangui. Let him wait and see!"
The map is spread out.
Yang Xuan pointed to the grassland and said: "In front of Yanbei Territory, the grassland has become the pasture of Northern Xinjiang. Logically speaking, the Zhao family should be satisfied. But who is guarding Yanbei Territory? Cao Ying!"
Yang Songcheng added: "Cao Ying is Zhao's confidant."
"If we insist on defending, we only need to send a stable general. Using Cao Ying is a plan to move forward."
Yang Xuan's fingers went up to the Tanzhou region.
I looked up at the seven people and said calmly: "I want to plot the entire Tanzhou. And then the entire southern Xiaoliao."
Yang Songcheng stroked his beard and chin, "Your Majesty's words are very true. So, we should stick to it and wait for the next spring."
"You have to stick to it, but you only think about Tanzhou!"
Yang Xuan's tone was fierce, but Yang Songcheng and Liu Yanming were shocked, "Your Majesty..."
Yang Xuan said: "My husband means that."
Yang Songcheng and Shen Changhe sat upright.
Yang Xuan raised his eyes, and there seemed to be no fire burning in his eyes.
"Zhao's goal is to open up frontiers. Liu Yanchun is capable. Xiaoliao wants to save himself, but he doesn't have the power to control the south! Do you understand?"
Yang Songcheng's body was shaken, "Do you want your husband to control the south?"
"yes!"
Yang Xuan said anxiously: "You want to be the king of the Southland!"
Yang Songcheng's eyes flashed and he stood up, "Excuse me for being polite, but don't you have a souvenir from your husband?"
Yang Xuan took out a letter from his sleeve and put it on the desk for a few times.
Yang Songcheng opened it and unfolded the letter.
Just one line below.
Everything will be done according to Hachiro's orders!
Even though the handwriting was unfamiliar and there was no personal seal of Liu Yan, Yang Songcheng still raised his head in an awkward manner.
To seize the southern land of Xiaoliao, is that an important and dangerous task?
Xianggong gave it to that person!
Yang Xuan didn't have two sons, and his abilities were pretty poor.
Why is it his biological son who is planning this matter?
Before success, is it okay for your own son to be the king of the Southland?
My nephew, after all, there is a layer of belly between us!
Liu Yan stretched out his hand.
Yang Songcheng hurriedly handed over the letter.
Yang Xuan looked at the seven people and said, "The seven of them have nothing to say?"
"Just follow your orders!"
His attitude was not casual... Yang Xuan nodded, "This time you have brought with you elite soldiers and weak generals. The Zhao family is here to do what they want, but they will definitely suffer setbacks once they arrive."
"So, just sit back and watch what happens!"
Shen Changhe said.
"yes!"
Yang Xuan shook his head, "Here comes someone."
——The general retreated, Yang Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Shen Changhe.
"Send elite scouts directly to Neizhou to find out the news. Once Northern Xinjiang sends troops to Neizhou, report back immediately."
"Take your orders!"
That general was young Yang Xuan's subordinate, and he was the most loyal.
Shen Changhe knew that it was beating.
If he is obedient, you will be short of manpower!
I looked at Liu Yanming anxiously.
Yang Songcheng said resolutely: "Your Majesty, I will definitely follow your orders!"
"What's left!"
Yang Xuan looked at Shen Changhe.
That means that if they agree with each other, they will drive people away.
Shen Changhe raised his head.
"I obey your orders!"
The corners of Yang Xuan's mouth turned up slightly.
