Chapter 69, Bianjing Fengpo.

Since the Eighth Prince returned to Bianjing, Yang Peng fought against Ye Qi Hongguang, which led to the annihilation of the entire army of the Northern Rebellion. Empress Dowager Xiao's hunt in Jinyang also came to nothing. At this time, Yang Yanzhao was also given to Jiao Zan in Zhengzhou.

Retrieve.

Yang Yanzhao was taciturn when he was young. As a child, he liked to play games such as military formations. Yang Ye once said: "This son is like me." Every time Yang Ye went on an expedition, he would definitely let him follow the army. During the Taiping and Xingguo years, Yang Yanzhao was by-elected.

As an enshrined official. When Yang Ye led the army to attack Ying and Shuozhou, Yang Yanzhao served as the vanguard of the army. He fought under the city of Shuozhou and was shot through the arm by random arrows. However, he became more courageous as he fought. The imperial court appointed him as deputy envoy of Chongyi.

He was appointed as the magistrate of Jingzhou. At that time, the Yangtze and Huaihe rivers were hit by disasters and the harvest was poor. The imperial court appointed him as the envoy of the Jiang and Huainan capitals. He was also appointed as the envoy of Chongyi, Zhi Dingyuan Army, and was transferred to the inspection envoy of the edge and border areas of Baozhou. He was entrusted with important responsibilities like the envoy of the capital.

.

There is a theory about the origin of Liulang: it was popular in the Tang and Song Dynasties to refer to people by rank, either by the same grandfather, or by the same great-grandfather, and by age among his peers. For example, Fan Chun was the fourth son of Fan Zhongyan, but ranked fifth, so he was called "Fan Wu"

"Zhang (Zhang: an honorific title for scholar-bureaucrats in the Tang and Song Dynasties)". Therefore, although Yang Yanzhao was the eldest son of Yang Ye, he was demoted to sixth in the ranking.

Some scholars have also deduced from the explanations of the stars in the "Elephant Star Chart" that the Six Stars of the South Dipper dominate military aircraft and are the symbols of generals, and the Sixth Star of the Big Dipper, as the symbols of generals, changes to dominate Yan. Yang Yanzhao has been dealing with Yan for a long time.

The Liao army regarded him as a general from heaven and descended to earth, so they called him Yang Liulang.

According to legend, Wanniuzhang Village, Fengxiang Township, Nanpi County was the place where Yang Liulang set up a yak array. During the Northern Song Dynasty, Liao soldiers repeatedly invaded the border, and Yang Liulang was ordered to resist. In order to cleverly eliminate the invading enemies, Yang Liulang secretly sent people to buy yaks.

More than 10,000 cattle were fed in the belly of a straw man, dressed in Liao soldiers' uniforms, and the cattle were lured to use a knife tied to their horns to open the straw man's belly to eat the food. This training lasted for more than a hundred days, and when the cattle saw those wearing Beibing uniforms, they violently picked them with their horns.

, so (this) the practice is as before. When Yang Liulang saw that the training was mature, he ordered the oxen to be starved for three days and three nights. He sent people to challenge the Liao camp. When the Liao soldiers came after him, he released ten thousand oxen. The yaks rushed into the enemy's formation and saw people.

The Liao soldiers suffered numerous casualties. The Song army won a complete victory. From then on, this place was named Yak Formation. Later, because most of the people in the village had the surname Zhang,

Princess Chai was the daughter of Chai Rong, Shizong of the Later Zhou Dynasty. After Song Taizu established the Song Dynasty, he recognized Princess Chai as his adopted daughter because he and Shizong of the Later Zhou Dynasty were friends for eight worships. Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Guangyi, led Princess Chai to the border for hunting and was captured by the Liao Dynasty.

The general was captured. Yang Yanzhao passed by Tongtai and rescued the King of Song and the princess. Fu Dingkui, the son of minister Fu Long, was also coming. The King of Song mistakenly thought it was Fu who rescued him, so he betrothed the princess to him. The princess admired Yanzhao's beauty;

He gave a poem to convey his meaning and a pearl shirt as a gift. Yanzhao returned to the capital and asked the Eight Sages for advice. The Eight Sages and the new champion Lu Mengzheng deciphered the meaning of the poem and reported it to the King of Song. The King of Song insisted that Ding Kui rescued him, so the princess asked

In the Golden Palace, we can distinguish the true from the false. So, Yang Jiye and Fu Long each led their sons to the palace. Lu Meng ordered Yan Zhao and Ding Kui to explain the rescue process face to face, and the truth came out. The King of Song declared: According to the instructions of the late king, the person who obtains the princess's pearl shirt will be the county.

Ma Yanzhao immediately offered up his pearl shirt because he rescued his horse at Tongtaiguan. He was granted the title Baolinghou, commanded the left and right golden spear squads of the front division of the palace, and married Princess Chai.

During the Song-Liao War, during the Battle of Jinshatan, Yang Liulang and his other brothers went to Jinshatan to negotiate. During the negotiations, King Tianqing, the wolf lord of the North, and Emperor Tianzan of the Liao Dynasty, Yelu Xian, saw through Dalang Yanping's disguise as Song Taizong and ordered the war to begin.

Yang Ye responded calmly in three groups. On the left, he was led by Dalang Yang Yanping, Erlang Yang Yanding, and Sanlang Yang Yan'an. In the middle, he was led by his father Yang Ye, Liulang Yang Yanzhao, and Seventh Lang Yang Yansi. On the right, he was led by Fourth Lang Yang Yanhui and Fifth Lang Yang Yande.

On the way, the Yang family's army fought hard to kill the enemy, and Yang Yanping shot and killed King Tianqing. However, the number of Liao soldiers increased sharply, and all three groups of Yang's army were dispersed. They could not see each other. Only Liulang broke out of the encirclement and returned home alone. Before the war, there were

A verse about the seventh son leaving and the sixth son returning.

Yang Jiye's son Yang Qilang once competed in the ring and killed Pan Bao, the imperial master Pan Renmei's son. Yang Jiye was the vanguard and led the army to fight against the Liao Dynasty. Pan Renmei avenged his personal revenge but failed to respond, causing Yang Jiye to crash to death in front of Li Ling's monument. Pan Renmei also secretly killed Yang Jiye.

Qi Lang and Yang Liu Lang escaped from the encirclement with a narrow escape, and sued Pan Renmei after returning to the court. However, the lawsuit was not successful because the emperor Song Taizong's beloved concubine was Pan Renmei's daughter. Finally, Kou Zhun was asked to help, and Kou Zhun used the theory of ghosts and gods to sue Pan Renmei.

Coaxed Pan Renmei to tell the truth. In the end, because the queen begged for Pan Renmei, Pan Renmei was not beheaded, but was sent to the army. Yang Liulang refused to accept the result, and with the help of Kou Zhun, finally beheaded Pan Renmei in the black pine forest.

He was killed to avenge his father and brother. Song Taizong ordered the arrest of Yang Liulang to no avail. Soon Song Taizong died and Song Zhenzong succeeded to the throne. At this time, Yang Yanzhao was still in Zhengzhou, avoiding officials, and only after Yang Peng's Quqi did he pardon Yang.

Rokuro.

Meng Liang and Jiao Zan were originally the mountain kings of Bajiao Mountain. Not long after, they tried to rob Yue Sheng, the sword general, and Yang Xing, the tiger general, but they were defeated by them. So the four of them became sworn sworn brothers, and Yue Sheng became the king.

The fourth son, Yang Xing, was very skilled in martial arts but had no knowledge of the art of war. When Yang Yanzhao took command, he passed by the Bajiao Mountain. The four of them were defeated by Yang Yanzhao and later submitted to Yang Liulang.

Liulang is the sixth brother.

Han Chang of the Liao State invaded, Hu Yanpi was clearly outmatched, and the three gates were in crisis. Zhao Defang, the Eight Wise King of the Supervisory Army, posted a list to recruit talents. Yang Liulang came to the border as Ren Tanghui to advise the Eight Wise Kings. He looks like Yang Liulang. Can he pretend to be Liu Lang?

Temporarily retreating from the Liao soldiers, the Eight Wise Kings took the risk and tried to frighten Han Chang away. However, Han Chang soon saw through this plan and returned to attack the city again. There were not enough defenders in the city. Under the crisis, it was the twelfth lunar month of winter, and dripping water turned into ice.

The Eight Sage Kings acted according to the plan of "Ren Tanghui". Every night, the Song army sent soldiers to bring buckets and water the city wall over and over again. The cold night made the city wall quickly wear new layers.

This layer of ice armor is renewed every day. If one layer is damaged, a new layer is poured, and the cycle is endless. The Liao soldiers rushed to the bottom of the city and were unable to climb the city. Han Chang could only look at the city and sigh.

"Rim Tang Hui" then gave advice to the Eight Wise Kings. He ordered his servants to go to the countryside and villages to buy hundreds of yaks, tie them in the woods and let them starve. Then they tied countless straw men with hay and dressed them as enemy soldiers.

Their clothes and hats were exposed, and their belly was exposed to hay. After everything was arranged, the hungry yak was released and driven into the bush. As soon as the yak smelled the fragrance of the grass, it rushed to eat it. If it couldn't eat, it used its horns to grab it.

The stomach of the grass man was opened. According to this method, the ox was trained several times, then tied into the woods to starve. Coincidentally, three days later, the enemy came to invade. Yang Liulang immediately passed the general order and ordered the soldiers

He tied the pig-killing knife to the horns of the ox. When the enemy was approaching, Yang Liulang gave the order to untie the rope and let the ox go. At this time, the ox thought that the enemy was another straw man feeding him, so they rushed toward the enemy's formation with their tails raised.

. Pick people when they see them. After knocking them down and smelling no hay, they pick others. Such a direct pursuit made the enemy retreat for dozens of miles, and there were countless casualties.

Yang Liulang's life was full of legends. Now coupled with Yang Peng's rise, the Yang family became more powerful in the court. The Eighth Prince also visited Yang Yanzhao in Tianbo Yang Mansion many times. Yang Yanzhao's current wife gave birth to another child for Yang Yanzhao.

Son, Yang Yanzhao’s eldest son is named Yang Dezheng, and his younger son’s name is Yang Wenguang.

Yang Yanzhao handed a piece of paper to Chai Xichun. Chai Xichun nervously smoothed out the wrinkles on the paper and held it in his arms like a treasure. "Lang Jun, this is a family heirloom. You cannot throw it away." Yang Yanzhao shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Princess, these things were copied from ancient books for my husband. They have not been put into practice. The details have to be explored by craftsmen. You don't have to be so nervous." In fact, it was Zhou Yunjing who led Yang Peng to the method of refining wine. To Yang Yanzhao.

Chai Xichun blinked, stared at Yang Yanzhao expectantly, and asked, "Lang Jun, is that ancient book still there? Is there anything else recorded in it?" Yang Yanzhao glanced at her accusingly, "Greedy...the ancient books of the sages are all based on The records on the bamboo slips have been handed down to this day for thousands of years, and they have long been in dilapidated condition. It is a fluke that my husband is lucky enough to read one or two of them. As for that ancient book, it has gone with the wind." "Gone with the wind..."

Chai Xichun looked regretful. Immediately, she hugged the paper in her arms tighter, "Lang Jun, since the ancient books have been destroyed, no one else except our family should have these two skills. So it should be done properly." Keep it. With these two skills, our family has an inheritance inherited from our ancestors, and future generations will not have to worry about having food to eat..." Yang Yanzhao was startled, then smiled.

That's right, in addition to martial arts, if the Yang family had other ancestral skills for making ends meet, a green-faced beast born with a strange phenomenon wouldn't be selling knives... Yang Yanzhao just couldn't stand Chai Xichun's nervous look. "Princess, these drawings will still have to be handed over to the craftsmen for exploration later. It will inevitably be leaked by then. You don't need to be so nervous. Besides, no one will care until the things on the drawings are proven to be feasible." It’s worth it.”

Chai Xichun hummed and said: "The craftsmen in the winery signed a death contract with the house. If they dare to spread this thing, I will beat them to death. The tenants are all relatives of the generals in the house, and The family will be prosperous and suffer losses. They dare not betray the interests of the family." "As for whether this thing is feasible, I will personally watch the craftsmen do it..." Chai Xichun was obviously obsessed with the housekeeper.

Yang Yanzhao tried to persuade her to no avail, so he simply let her go. Anyway, no matter how hard Chai Xichun tried, he would be the one who benefited in the end.

As Zuo Buque, Yang Dezheng basically had no other work except writing letters and impeaching officials. Now that Yang Yanzhao has no official status, he still has plenty of free time. In the afternoon, Chai Xichun went to the brewery Already.

Yang Dezheng was practicing martial arts alone in the east courtyard. When he practiced holding a spear with both hands, his strength obviously increased much faster than with one hand. He could feel that the strength of both hands had obviously reached a hundred kilograms. This body was originally a embryo for martial arts training. , practicing martial arts progresses much faster than ordinary people. Holding a gun for an hour.

Yang Dezheng shook his whole body, threw away the stone lock, held a tiger-head black gold gun in both hands, and suddenly thrust it out. The gun body was like a bolt of lightning, and like a line. It flashed past. In front of Yang Dezheng, there was a seven-foot-long spear. A tall and two-foot-wide wooden pillar. The tiger-headed black-gold spear passed through the wooden pillar and dug a deep hole in it.

"Shua~" "Pa~"

Pulling out the gun, the wooden pillars fell into pieces and scattered on the ground. "You are diligent and have not neglected your martial arts." A voice sounded at the moon gate of the east courtyard. Yang Dezheng heard the voice and went over, and saw Yang Yanzhao dressed in black and standing like a gun. "My dear, please pay homage to your father." Yang Dezheng put away his gun and stood up, clasping his fists to greet him.

Yang Yanzhao walked into the east courtyard with a dark face and shouted in a deep voice, "I heard that you have caused a lot of trouble in recent days?" Yang Dezheng was stunned for a moment, feeling a little shocked. He probably guessed the purpose of Yang Yanzhao's visit. He didn't expect it.

Oh, Gao Chujun actually went to Yang Yanzhao. In the political game in the court, if you lose, you lose. Just find your place next time.

Going to parents is a way for children to complain after losing a fight. Gao Chujun's way of dealing with things is really embarrassing. Yang Yanzhao asked, but Yang Dezheng didn't dare not answer. He slightly handed over his hand and said: "

The child eats the emperor's salary and worries about the emperor. Being in the position of Zuobuque, he naturally has to shoulder his due responsibilities."

After a pause, he continued: "Haier has indeed impeached several important officials in the court recently, but there are reasons for everything. The reason why I impeached them is because they were not upright and did things that violated the laws of the court. If you think this is the case,

If you are causing trouble, I have nothing to say." A gentleman bullies others. For a loyal and upright person like Yang Yang Yanzhao, Yang Dezheng only needs to put the truth in front of him, and he will give in.

Sure enough, Yang Yanzhao's attitude softened a bit after hearing Yang Dezheng's words. "Dalang, although you are young, you already hold an important position, and you are assigned to a civil service, so there are differences between civil and military affairs. Dad has been fighting on the battlefield all his life. Things on the battlefield,

Dad is good at everything, but he knows very little about civil servants.

Dad can't teach you how to behave as a civil servant, so naturally he won't accuse you of whether you are doing the right thing or not. Dad just hopes that you will show some kindness when facing a general. After all, you are also a general." Yang

Dezheng could tell that everything Yang Yanzhao said was from the bottom of his heart. He did not expect that Yang Yanzhao would actually say such open-minded words. He bowed deeply to Yang Yanzhao and said, "My child, please remember your father's teachings."

"Hahaha..." After Yang Yanzhao finished educating Yang Dezheng, he laughed loudly and said: "Dad, I see that you have mastered the spear-handling skills, and it's time to teach you the martial arts passed down by your family." Yang Yanzhao coughed,

Two soldiers wearing armor and swords walked in from outside the Moon Gate. "Guard the door. No one is allowed to come in without my instructions." The two soldiers bowed.

"promise!"

Then, they retreated outside the Moon Gate, guarding one on the left and one on the right. Yang Yanzhao walked to the weapons rack in the east courtyard and selected a silver pewter gun from it. "Swish, swish~" and stabbed a few casually.

Duo Qianzhao nodded with satisfaction. "Da Lang, look at it." As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Yanzhao stood with a gun in his hand. His whole aura was completely different from before.

At this moment, Yang Yanzhao was like a big gun, shooting in all directions. "The black tiger is coming from the mountain!" Yang Yanzhao shouted loudly, and the gun came out like a tiger descending from the mountain, unstoppable. "The green dragon offers melons!" The gun turned and the gun

When the head is raised, it is like a blue dragon circling, implying murderous intent. These two types of marksmanship, one is hard and the other is soft, are both hard and soft, very smooth.

The Liuhe Army Formation Spear of the Yang family has twelve forms, six hard and six soft. When it is strong, it is extremely domineering; when it is soft, it is extremely delicate. After practicing a set of twelve forms of marksmanship, Yang Dezheng was dazzled. Yang Yanzhao finished the drill once.

, did not stop, but continued to practice. The practice of this set of marksmanship became more cumbersome, more domineering and more sophisticated. Yang Dezheng could see that Yang Yanzhao practiced the twelve moves for the second time.

Marksmanship has undergone changes.

The twelve styles of marksmanship were transformed into thirty-six variations.



The third time, the marksmanship produced seventy-two changes.



The fourth time, there were one hundred and eight changes in the marksmanship.



The fifth time, the marksmanship produced two hundred and forty changes.



The sixth time, three hundred and sixty changes.



"There are twelve styles of Liuhe Army war guns, and each style has thirty variations. The twelve styles have a total of three hundred and sixty variations." Yang Yanzhao stared at Yang Dezheng practicing the gun while giving instructions from the side. Yang Dezheng held the tiger in his hand.

The Touwu Golden Spear is practicing every move, one move at a time. "Black Tiger Kaishan, this move requires force and fierceness, but there must be room for it. If you are too strong and fierce, you will not leave any room for room. If you fail, try again..." Yang Yanzhao's attitude

He was very strict and very demanding. He required Yang Dezheng to practice each style of marksmanship to perfection, and to switch between hard and soft strength in one go.

Under Yang Yanzhao's guidance and scolding, Yang Dezheng practiced the twelve-style marksmanship in a decent manner. Yang Yanzhao saw that Yang Dezheng had been able to complete the twelve-style marksmanship according to his requirements. He continued: "Liuhe Army Battle Gun

, roughly three levels. In the first level, you must master it, practice the twelve styles of marksmanship in one go, and be able to flexibly apply it to actual combat. The second level is based on the first level.

The changes in the derived marksmanship, twelve turned into thirty-six, thirty-six turned into one hundred and eight, one hundred and eight turned into two hundred and forty, two hundred and forty turned into three hundred and sixty... The marksmanship has been practiced to this level.

It’s considered a success.”

Yang Dezheng was confused, "Where is the third level?" Hearing this, Yang Yanzhao glanced at Yang Dezheng, "It's so ambitious. Your father and I have been practicing guns for thirty years, and we barely reached the point where two hundred and forty turned into three hundred and sixty...

..." Yang Dezheng frowned, thoughtfully, "Dad, the third level should be three hundred and sixty transformed into two hundred and forty, two hundred and forty transformed into one hundred and eight, one hundred and eight transformed into thirty six.

Thirty-six becomes twelve, right?”

Yang Yanzhao was stunned and said in astonishment: "I didn't expect you to be so savvy in martial arts... Since you have already guessed it, I won't hide it from you. It is indeed as you said, after mastering the marksmanship, the complex becomes simple.

, from the three hundred and sixty changes, a new twelve-style marksmanship was summarized and integrated. Only when we reach this point can we say that the practice of marksmanship has truly reached its peak.

Marksmanship is dead, but people are alive. Everyone's physical condition is different, and the marksmanship suitable for him will be different. Only by taking the twelve-style marksmanship as the basis, practicing changes, and finally integrating it into one, can he deduce his own unique style.

Only with spear skills can we truly reach the pinnacle of marksmanship. This is also the real subtlety of the twelve styles of spear skills created by our ancestors." The reason why Yang Yansi was able to guess the original intention of the third level was because he discovered that Yang

The three realms of Jia Liuhe Army's war gun are slightly similar to the three realms of life.

What Yang Yanzhao said just now also confirmed Yang Dezheng's suspicion. If you look at mountains, they are mountains, and if you look at water, they are water; if you look at mountains, they are not mountains, and if you look at water, they are not water; if you look at mountains, they are still mountains, and if you look at water, they are still water. From simple to complex

, simplifying the complex. Many things in the world seem to follow this principle...

Yang Yanzhao taught with all his heart, and Yang Dezheng studied patiently. In the blink of an eye, an afternoon had passed. When the sound of "Liuhe Army War Guns" was heard in front of the Moon Gate, there are twelve styles, each style has thirty variations. The twelve styles have a total of three hundred and sixty.

kind of change.”

Martial arts inherited from the family are one of the foundations of every general's success. When teaching martial arts, people who are not from the same clan or clan are not allowed to observe and learn, and are not allowed to learn secretly. Although Chai Xichun is already a member of the Yang family, it is a pity that she still has not observed and learned.

She was not qualified to learn martial arts because her surname was not Yang. Yang Yanzhao stopped teaching martial arts and gave instructions to the soldiers at the Moon Gate, and then the soldiers let Chai Xichun in. Behind the gate, Chai Xichun saw Yang Yanzhao and Yang Dezheng and his son carrying

Standing with the gun in hand, she was slightly startled. She was also a general, and she only needed to glance at it to understand what the father and son were doing just now.

Gao Chujun's incident has made Yang Yanzhao feel the difference in Yang Dezheng's status. Normally, in the eyes of Yang Yanzhao, nobles who need to be courteous have become objects that can be impeached at will in Yang Dezheng's eyes. From this,

It can be seen that Yang Dezheng's voice in the court now has slightly surpassed Yang Yanzhao. Yang Yanzhao was a little happy and a little sad.

Fortunately, his decision was right. He strongly supported Yang Dezheng to take the imperial examination and become a civil servant. Now Yang Dezheng has not only become a civil servant, but also serves as a noble official like Zuo Buque, and he also has a voice in the court.

Quan. Yang Yanzhao had been guarding the border for many years and had suffered enough from the civil servants.

Now that there is a civil servant in the family, he feels that he will have someone to take care of him when he is guarding the border, and he will not have to suffer so much. What is sad is that after many years of fighting, in the end, he has no say in the court.

He was not as intimidating as his son, who had just started his official career. The emotional conflict in his heart caused Yang Yanzhao to not know how to face Yang Dezheng. Instead, apart from giving Yang Dezheng martial arts tips, he tried to avoid being alone too much.

In order to avoid losing the majesty of being a father in front of Yang Dezheng over time. Yang Dezheng can roughly guess some of Yang Yanzhao's mood. However, he has no way to try his best to take care of Yang Yanzhao's mood. He must make others feel that he is important.

Xing, thus replacing Yang Yanzhao and becoming the real decision-maker of Yang Mansion.

Putting away the tiger-headed golden gun, Yang Dezheng simply washed up. Only by becoming the real decision-maker of the Yang family can he bring the Yang family back from the brink of death and turn the Yang family into an iron barrel.

The cook in the kitchen has been ordered to prepare a delicious meal. Practicing martial arts consumes a lot of money on the body. At the same time, as the martial arts increases, the body needs to take in more energy.

Yang Dezheng's appetite also gradually increased. After eating four large bowls of food, Yang Dezheng only felt 80% full.

There was nothing to say all night. The next day, early in the morning, when the sky was dim, Yang Dezheng had already gotten up. Today he was going to visit the Shi family, so he had already asked for leave yesterday and did not need to go to court.

What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
