Chapter five hundred and fourteenth, the inside should be combined with the outside
When Xing Xing saw an outsider breaking into the yard, he did not panic. He just frowned, stood up and covered his face with a curtain, then turned around and entered the house. When Hou Renbao saw Xing and was about to leave, he wanted to chase after him quickly. However, he was stopped by
Yang Yanzhao stood firmly in front of him. Yang Yanzhao said in a cold voice with a gloomy face: "Master Hou, please respect yourself."
Hou Renbao glared at Yang Yanzhao angrily and cursed: "Yang Yanzhao, don't be so shameless. The things your Yang family has committed will not be enough even if you die a hundred times. I just want a concubine, so I am willing to help your Yang family."
Xiang, I have already given you face. If you stop me again and spoil my mood, I will give you a copy of the Yang family to help you die faster. When your Yang family is slaughtered, concubine Ji
After being exiled to the official training center, she will still be at the mercy of the official."
"That's enough." Yang Yanzhao shouted loudly and said in a deep voice: "Master Hou, I respect you as an angel sent by the imperial court, and I will give you three points in everything. But don't push yourself too far. How can you get your hands on my son's people?"
"Yes." Hou Renbao laughed angrily, "Okay! You Yang Yanzhao, you have been deprived of your official position. In front of me, you are just a pariah. Even you dare to threaten me. I
We must make sure that you, the Yang family, have to walk around without food."
"Master Hou is so powerful!" The quarrel between Yang Yanzhao and Hou Renbao was overheard by Princess Che, who was settling accounts in the room. Princess Che walked out of the small building and shouted sarcastically. Princess Che
With a big belly, he first bowed to Yang Yanzhao and saluted, "I have met the master."
Yang Yanzhao rubbed his brows and waved his hands: "You are pregnant, so there is no need to be polite." Princess Chai looked at Hou Renbao, and Hou Renbao also looked at Princess Chai. Hou Renbao was not polite to Princess Chai, he sneered.
He scolded: "A woman has no shame in showing her face." Princess Che raised her eyebrows disdainfully, "You are just a dog, why can't I show up in front of you? I think back then, you failed the imperial examination twice.
中. Kneel down in front of our Eighth Prince’s Mansion with the article in your hand and ask my father to support you.
Tell me, what was the difference between you and a dog in your appearance at that time? Now that you have an official status and wear an official skin, do you think you are not a dog anymore? In front of our Zhao family, you are still a dog."
Hou Renbao was angered by the past and humiliating past, and immediately cursed angrily: "You bitch." Princess Chei raised her eyebrows and said in a cold voice: "Slap me."
Following the order given by Princess Che, dozens of women in fancy clothes emerged from the bamboo forests on both sides. Some stopped Hou Renbao's guards, while others stopped in front of Yang Yanzhao. A woman in red,
When he arrived in front of Hou Renbao, he raised his hand and saw two big mouths.
Princess Chei stared at Hou Renbao coldly and cursed: "My master Renyi always gives you three points. Do you really think of yourself as a person? Whether in the eyes of our Yang family or in the eyes of my Zhao family, you
They are all just dogs. To be a dog, you must have the consciousness to be a dog.
If you dare to bark at us, I will kill your dog." Hou Renbao has never suffered such humiliation. Ever since he worshiped under Xue Juzheng's door, he has been rising through the ranks, relying on Xue Juzheng's protection, and he is a bastard wherever he goes.
Character. After entering the imperial court, he tried to figure out the holy will and soon became Zhao Heng's confidant.
Even the prince had to give him three cents of face when he saw him. Hou Renbao stared at Cao Lin with red eyes and said viciously: "Bitch, if you humiliate me today, I will definitely lose the Yang family tomorrow."
I want to play you to death." Yang Yanzhao's expression changed immediately. He stared at his eyes and said in a cold voice: "Hou Renbao, are you bullying me? There is no one in the Yang family?"
The person who woke up in the Yang Mansion just now was just the concubine of the Yang Mansion. Although Yang Yanzhao was angry, it was just angry. But Princess Chai was Yang Yanzhao's legitimate wife. To humiliate Princess Chai was to humiliate the Yang family. How could Yang Yanzhao do that?
Don't be angry. If Hou Renbao didn't have the identity of an angel, Yang Yanzhao would have hammered him to death on the spot.
Princess Che's face changed when she heard Hou Renbao's words, and her voice suddenly rose to a higher pitch, "Okay, very good. Just by your words, everyone in your Hou family will die." Princess Che said coldly to Hong.
The woman in red said, "Jiayi, you take a team of people and send Hou Renbao's family on their way in person." The woman in red, codenamed Jiayi, is the leader of the Volcano Guard newly formed by Princess Che.
She heard Princess Chei's order and nodded without hesitation: "I obey the order." Hou Renbao said crazily: "You little bitch, I am an official of the imperial court. If you dare to understand my family, you will die too. You all.
The Chai family will not be easy either." Princess Chai sarcastically said: "My Chai family has the iron scroll of the elixir given by the late emperor. As long as we don't rebel, who can do anything to my Chai family?"
Hou Renbao wanted to talk back, but Princess Che didn't give him any chance. Princess Che directly ordered: "Break his legs and send him to Shengzhou to my son Yang Dezheng. Just tell me and Xing
My sister has been bullied by this person. Let him take care of it." The people of the Volcano Guard followed Princess Che's order without hesitation.
As Hou Renbao screamed, his legs had been interrupted. Yang Yanzhao wanted to stop him, but he didn't have time.
Yang Yanzhao said with a horrified look on his face: "Princess, you have caused a big trouble." Princess Chai said softly to Yang Yanzhao: "Master, all these things are caused by my son. You should not let him suffer.
Since they are looking for my son, then leave them to me. Please forgive me for taking care of them."
Yang Yanzhao was stunned and sighed, "Hey~" Yang Yanzhao left the bamboo forest quietly without saying a word. Princess Chai did not hesitate to send someone to bring Hou Renbao and the people who accompanied Hou Renbao to the place.
They packed everything up and sent it to Shengzhou to Yang Dezheng.
Although Princess Che could not guess how Yang Dezheng would deal with these people, she could conclude that with Yang Dezheng's temperament, Hou Renbao would not end well after learning what Hou Renbao had done. Anyway, Yang Dezheng robbed him.
They had enough money to support them. Yang Gui and Yang Dezheng divided the people into two parts. One part was responsible for continuing to build the city wall.
In the plan of Yang Dezheng and Yang Gui, the future Fuxing Pass will be a city with 50,000 troops stationed there. Therefore, it is impossible to have only one city wall. The other part of the people began to help prepare for war. Some people were sent into the weapons
In the workshop, someone set up a cotton armor making workshop, and someone led the troops to prepare rolling logs, stones and other weapons for the defense of the city for the army on the top of the city. They even carefully sent them to the top of the city to stockpile them.
What surprised Yang Dezheng was that there were so many hidden dragons and crouching tigers among the common people. During this division of labor, many craftsmen were discovered. Some could make strong bows, some could make strong crossbows, and some could forge weapons...even
, and those who can make all kinds of armor. Yang Dezheng opened several workshops in succession without hesitation.
In order to win the war against the Liao Kingdom, Yang Dezheng did not hesitate to pile up all the money he robbed. Of course, Yang Dezheng also had his own wishful thinking. He would never let his subordinates use the same equipment.
.
The equipment of his subordinates will only become more and more sophisticated. Similarly, Yang Dezheng will not throw away the obsolete equipment. He has even thought of a place for these equipment. Yang Dezheng is now racing against time to prepare for all battles.
He didn't think about anything else at all. However, just because he had no time to think about anything else, it didn't mean that nothing happened to him.
When Yang Dezheng was about to move his camp to the gate of Fuxingguan City, he was blocked by a group of people at the entrance of the military camp. Women of all colors blocked the entrance of the military camp, all of them were very beautiful.
That was particularly eye-catching. The soldiers who had been training all day long in the camp and were already going crazy, when they saw this group of women appearing, started to howl like ghosts.
When Yang Dezheng saw this group of women, he guessed their identities. My mother, Princess Chai, had re-established the Volcano Guard. Yang Dezheng also couldn't understand why Princess Chai was so fond of using women as spies. The leader
She is a woman in red who is beautiful but has a frosty look on her face.
She was under the command of Princess Che, and was codenamed Jia Er. After meeting Yang Dezheng, Jia Er ordered people to throw Hou Renbao in front of Yang Dezheng. She said in a stiff tone: "The mistress said, this person is bullying
You can take care of her and Miss Xing." Yang Dezheng looked at Hou Renbao, who was beaten into a pig's head, and frowned: "Who is this? Why was he beaten so badly?"
Jia Er did not reply, but asked people to throw the rest of the tied people in front of Yang Dezheng, and then left in a hurry. Yang Dezheng stared at the new volcano guard who left gracefully. Suddenly, he wanted to push Jia down.
The urge to spank Jia Er. He really wanted to catch Jia Er in front of him and question Jia Er, who is the head of the family. However, he just wanted to think about it.
The top priority is to find out who this guy who was beaten into a pig's head is. Since this person offended Princess Che, I did not execute him, but sent him to her side. That means that this person's identity is unusual. I was momentarily confused.
When he couldn't make up his mind, he sent it to him to deal with. Yang Dezheng knelt down and took off a ball of smelly stuff stuffed in Hou Renbao's mouth.
Before Yang Dezheng could ask a question, he heard Hou Renbao yelling in a lung-splitting voice: "Yang Dezheng, you are dead. And Princess Che, that little bitch, is dead too. Your Yang family is also dead.
.You dare to beat me and try to kill me. You are all dead. All of you in the Yang family will die."
Yang Dezheng's face darkened, he stared at him expressionlessly, and asked: "Whether I die or not is up to you. First, tell me who you are and what kind of identity you have. How can you make everyone in my Yang family
Are they all dead?" Hou Renbao shouted: "I am the imperial envoy, Hou Renbao."
"Hou Renbao?!" Hearing this name, Yang Dezheng raised his brows, approached Hou Renbao with a smile, looked at Hou Renbao's cheek carefully, and said, "Are you really such a idiot?" Hou Renbao shouted: "Yang Dezheng, you
If you insult me, you will be punished with an additional penalty."
"Pa!" Yang Dezheng gave Hou Renbao a big mouth and sneered: "Didn't you just say that my whole family will die, then I will be afraid of getting a second grade for every crime?" Yang Dezheng said from the bottom of his heart.
I hate this guy Hou Renbao.
Ever since he witnessed this guy throwing 100,000 imperial troops into Jiaozhi and running away, Yang Dezheng wanted to kill this guy with his own hands. In Yang Dezheng's view, this kind of person should be executed in a hurry. The imperial court actually still uses this kind of person as a minister.
, simply blind.
Therefore, Yang Dezheng was not polite to Hou Renbao at all. Yang Dezheng grabbed Hou Renbao's ears and warned him coldly, "You'd better be more honest with me, or I will kill you." Hou Renbao is also a person who never sees the coffin.
The master in tears. He was not afraid of Yang Dezheng's threat at all, "If you dare to kill me, your whole family will be buried with you."
"Pa!" Yang Dezheng rewarded Hou Renbao with a big mouth again, and sneered: "Are you worthy of saying this? Are you considered an official? If I guessed right, the imperial court sent you here, and I should have found out.
What I did in Linzhou, Shengzhou, and Fengzhou. So I wanted to recruit me... No, no, no, to be precise, I wanted to give me a random title. Then I picked peaches from my hand and took away Lin.
Three states.
Do you think my guess is right?" Hou Renbao scolded: "So what if you guessed it right? Even if you want to surrender to the imperial court, I will not let you do so. Yang Dezheng, you are a thief, harboring evil intentions, splitting the soil and sealing the territory, with the intention of
Anyone who conspires to rebel will be punished. I will not give a thief like you the slightest chance."
"Pa!" Yang Dezheng continued to give Hou Renbao a slap in the face and said sarcastically: "I say you are stupid, but you are still really stupid. I now hold the three states of Shengzhou, Fengzhou and Daizhou, and I have formed a relationship with the Zhe family.
In the alliance, the Zhe family holds Fuzhou and Linzhou, as well as the five counties of Yinzhou.
Our two families can summon 200,000 soldiers and horses at any time to compete with the imperial court. Do you think the imperial court sent you to Shengzhou to show off its power under such circumstances? The imperial court wants to appease me and win over me. You
But here you are pretending to be a wolf with a big tail. Do you really think of yourself as a person? Even if I kill you today, the court will not say a word to me." Hou Renbao exclaimed: "Impossible, you
This kind of rebellious ministers and traitors should be found and punished by everyone."
Yang Dezheng sneered and said: "If you don't believe it, if you don't believe me, I will send two people to deliver a message to the court, saying that you, Hou Renbao, are disrespectful to me and have been chopped off by me." Yang Dezheng used the dirty thing to block Hou Renbao again.
mouth. Then he selected two of the captured golden-armored guards to deliver a message to Zhao Heng.
Yang Dezheng said to the two golden-armored guards carelessly: "You will tell your majesty that our Yang family will not rebel against the Song Dynasty. But your majesty promised my father to obey the tune but not Xuan's decree, but he has never fulfilled it. Now my Yang family
You can only get it back by your own ability.
As for the future generations of states, Shengzhou and Fengzhou, they will still be the land of the Song Dynasty. But they will all be managed by our Yang family in the future. Anyway, I won these Shengzhou and Fengzhou by myself. I can manage them myself, and no one can pick them.
Error. After paying annual taxes and deducting the food and drink expenses of 50,000 soldiers and horses in each state, I will also send them to Bianjing City for Your Majesty."
"This..." The two golden-armored guards looked obviously embarrassed when they heard Yang Dezheng's words. According to the practice of the Song Dynasty court, the total number of Xiang soldiers, Tibetan soldiers, and rural soldiers in a state must not exceed
Thirty thousand. Yang Dezheng opened his mouth and expanded the number to another twenty thousand.
In the Song Dynasty, except for some prosperous cities that were upgraded from states to prefectures, the tax revenue of a state could only support 50,000 horses at most. The reason why each state government supported 30,000 horses was because there was still some money left.
into the national treasury. Yang Dezheng is now threatening to support 50,000 horses and horses in every state under his governance. This means that he will not give a penny of tax money to the imperial court in the future.
What is the difference between this and self-reliance? The two golden-armored guards have never seen anything like this since they entered the palace as servants. They didn’t know what to say for a while. Yang Dezheng seemed to have seen what the two people were thinking.
He smiled and said: "Of course, every year, in addition to paying a certain amount of taxes and silver to the imperial court from our five states, there will also be additional tribute sent there."
One of the golden-armored guards had the courage to ask in a low voice: "I wonder how much money Dalang prepares to pay tribute to the court every year?" Yang Dezheng smiled happily and said: "It is vulgar to talk about money. I believe that with a little money, the court is still
You won’t take a fancy to it. Our land of five states basically has no specialties. It is close to Dangxiang and Liao people and has enough horses. Every year, I will pay tribute to the court of 5,000 war horses and three horses.
Thousands of foals."
The two golden-armored guards nodded subconsciously. Five thousand war horses, plus three thousand ponies, were sold to the Song Dynasty, which was worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. A tribute of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver was indeed not
A small number. The two golden-armored guards clasped their fists at Yang Dezheng at the same time and said, "Please rest assured, Yang Dalang. We two brothers will definitely tell His Majesty Yang Dalang's words verbatim.
Please Yang Dalang, take care of our other brothers and don't hurt them." Yang Dezheng glanced at the other detained golden-armored guards and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will serve them with delicious food and drinks. Wait.
Once your message has been sent, I will let them go."
"Thank you." After the two golden-armored guards said goodbye to Yang Dezheng, they borrowed two war horses and rushed to Bianjing City quickly. The golden-armored guards who went to report the news left.
Yang Dezheng immediately had the armor removed from the other golden-armored guards. The armors on these golden-armored guards were all fine products made by the generals of the Song Dynasty. They were not only gorgeous, but also very practical. Yang Dezheng now
It's armor.
Nearly twenty sets of golden armor were stripped off and sent to the military camp. The officials in the military camp who were generals and above were reluctantly wearing decent armor. Yang Dezheng threw the golden armored guards to the weapons workshop and asked them to
These guys who spent all day fattening up in Bianjing City went to work as coolies. Only Hou Renbao was tied to the tail of the horse with a rope and hung up.
Yang Dezheng had a deep grudge against Hou Renbao, so he would never deal with Hou Renbao easily. When Yang Dezheng dragged Hou Renbao to Fuxing Pass, Chen Yao hurriedly rushed off the pass and reported to Yang Qi, "General, according to his spies,
In return, the Liao people gathered 150,000 troops and went south, led by Brother Yelvxiu, the king of the South Branch of the Liao Kingdom, and they have arrived at Shangjing City."
Yang Dezheng threw the reins of the horse in his hand to Wang Xing and said solemnly: "One hundred and fifty thousand Liao troops, the Liao people are determined to give me a blow. There are still five days to go to the capital from Chenjiakou.
distance. Go and pass on my military order, ordering Yang Gui to lead 20,000 Fuxing infantry, and Yang Xin to lead 50,000 Jin troops to climb the city wall and defend Fuxing Pass. At the same time, order Fan Long to lead 30,000 Fuxing Rangers to leave the pass.
Strengthen the walls and clear the country. Rejuvenate the areas outside the pass, and all Han people within twenty miles will withdraw into the pass."
Chen Yao immediately went down to convey Yang Dezheng's order. Almost as soon as Yang Dezheng's order was issued, Fan Long led 30,000 Fuxing Rangers and rushed out of Fuxing Pass, implementing the policy of strengthening the walls and clearing the country. Yang Xin also led 50,000 Jin troops
The soldiers boarded Fuxing Pass.
The three-mile long city gate was almost filled with 70,000 soldiers and horses. Under the leadership of Yang Gui and Yang Xin, the soldiers began to set up heavy crossbows on the city wall. Since the number of heavy crossbows was not enough, there was a shortage of heavy crossbows.
Many more archers were dispatched to the area. The entire Fuxing Pass entered a pre-war state.
The civilians who were responsible for building the city wall in Fuxing Pass could clearly feel the tense atmosphere in Fuxing Pass. Just when everyone was nervous, Yang Dezheng led 20,000 civilians to the outside of the city wall and made a
An incredible thing. On the city gate tower, Yang Gui and Yang Xin stood side by side in armor, looking at Yang Dezheng and the civilian husband busy outside the city, a little stunned.
Yang Gui frowned and asked Yang Xin beside him, "What is Yang Dezheng doing?" Yang Xin hesitated for a moment and said, "It seems like digging a hole." Yang Xin did lead the peasants to dig a hole, but what was he digging a hole for?
He was not very clear, so he was a little hesitant. Yang Gui folded his hands in front of his chest, and the armor plates on his arms struck the breastplate on his chest, making a crisp sound of gold and iron colliding.
He grimaced, shook his head and said with a smile: "Is Dezheng digging a horse trap? This method may be effective on the plains, but it won't have much effect below the city. As long as the enemy sees these holes, he will
Bury them in the first place. So it's just wasted effort."
Yang Xin nodded in agreement, then sniffed and said: "After all, Dezheng was not involved in the war, so it is understandable that he made some strange actions." However, in the next two days,
, Yang Dezheng's performance was even more strange.
He hid in a makeshift workshop almost every day. Occasionally, he would send people to pull out cart after cart of things, and then pull them out outside the pass at night. Two days later, Yang Dezheng sent someone outside the city.
He sent people to cover all the holes he dug. It seemed that in order to cover up the existence of holes in this place, he even sent Fan Long and spent most of the day leading the Renaissance Rangers in the city.
Frequently running through the open space outside.
This time, Yang Gui and Yang Xin were confused again. Yang Gui also stopped Yang Dezheng to ask him what medicine he sold in the gourd, but Yang Dezheng told him a secret. After that, Yang Gui took all the medicine that Yang Dezheng had.
He characterized his actions as nonsense. He was too lazy to pay attention to Yang Dezheng's actions. He and Yang Xin focused on strengthening the defense of Fuxing Pass on the top of the city.
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
