Yang Xuan was beaten hard by the scabbard, and Liu Qing panted, put his hands on his hips and asked, "Do you know you are wrong?"
"Yes, I know I was wrong."
Yang Xuan lowered his eyebrows in a pleasing manner.
Liu Qing threw the scabbard back, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Well done!"
This is a slap and a praise.
If the old man didn't punish him, it would be difficult to convince the public, and those people would accuse him of favoritism. After beating Yang Xuan severely, no one could say anything. Afterwards, he would praise him and the matter would be settled.
Suzaku said: "Xiao Xuanzi, I'm a little worried that your IQ is not enough and you will be deceived by these people."
"The victory of this battle depends on the sacrifice of the soldiers." Liu Qing's voice was loud, "Look back and judge the merits, and the rewards will not be less."
The soldiers were smiling happily.
"But the victory of this battle also depends on one person."
Liu Qing pointed at Yang Xuan and said: "I asked him to lead an army alone, so he naturally has the right to make decisions on the fly. Yang Xuan found that the enemy army was besieging our central army. What would have happened if he had gathered the central army at that time? At most, one person would not be able to win this battle.
defeat."
Anyone with some brains would be full of praise for Yang Xuan's timing at this moment.
"He has been waiting, waiting for what? Waiting for Liang Chao to attack with the last men, waiting for both sides to be entangled and it is difficult for the enemy to evacuate calmly."
"The moment I saw him, I wanted to beat him up. Otherwise, we would have to suffer so hard here, but he would calmly defeat the enemy. Wouldn't it be aggrieved?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Liu Qing's words made everyone laugh, and Yang Xuan found that there was more friendliness in those eyes.
"The old man treats you well!" The green light flashed.
"But Yang Xuan Gong is so great in this battle!"
Liu Qing roared: "Shout for me, the warrior of the Tang Dynasty..."
"Cai!" Everyone raised their arms and shouted.
The sound of horse hooves came from the distance, and someone shouted: "There are cavalry!"
Then the generals shouted.
"Array! Array!"
Before they could form a formation, they rushed over on horseback.
"He's one of ours!"
This was a scout from the Tang Dynasty. He looked at the battlefield that was still in its original state and said disappointedly: "It's over?"
Some people were furious, "What the hell, do you think it's time to finish?"
Thousands of cavalry appeared in the distance with an astonishing momentum.
"Yes... they are the cavalry of Tao County."
Taoxian represents the Jiedushi.
Zhang Du rushed over first and said disappointedly: "Is this the end?"
Liu Qing was startled and then asked: "Are they reinforcements sent by Zhongcheng?"
Zhang Du handed over his hand and said, "Vice-General Zhang Du was ordered to assist Chenzhou's army. What a pity!"
This guy had a look of resentment for not being able to make any meritorious service. When he saw Yang Xuan, he said happily: "Zitai!"
"Zhang Du!" Yang Xuan said with a smile: "Why are you here?"
Liu Qing gave Yang Xuan a look and hinted to receive the deputy general, and he ordered people to clean up the battlefield.
Zhang Du dismounted, rubbed his butt, frowned and said: "Zhongcheng was worried that the Vaxie tribe would send troops, so he ordered me to come with three thousand cavalry to respond. Unexpectedly, I arrived late."
"How is Zhongcheng?" Yang Xuan asked.
"It's still the same." Zhang Du said with a smile: "Bei Liao sent people to ask for the heads of the generals who were beheaded. Zhongcheng said, "Feed the dog." The envoy was so angry that he said that he would turn around and attack Northern Xinjiang with a large army. Zhongcheng gave me a wink.
…”
"What did you say?" Yang Xuan felt that Huang Chunhui was an old fox.
"I can't say it's my grandson!"
Zhang Du burst into laughter.
"What's going on over there in Beiliao?"
"Beiliao..."
When Helianfeng ascended the throne, a group of powerful people rebelled, and they were suppressed immediately, but they were not completely wiped out. Those remnants gradually swelled over the years, and this time they took advantage of the fact that Helianfeng had just returned from hunting and the palace's defenses were lax, and they launched a rebellion.
That night there was a river of blood in the palace. It is said that the rebels reached Helianfeng's palace. Even Helianfeng was holding weapons and preparing to take action. Fortunately, reinforcements arrived in time.
What was left was liquidation. The powerful people were all single and gathered together to resist, but Helianfeng was set on fire.
"It is said that the screams resounded through the night sky and were heard throughout Hui Pucheng. The smell of barbecue lingered in the city for several days."
Huipu is the capital of Northern Liao.
All the remaining men were beheaded and all the women were made slaves.
"What a tragedy!" Zhang Du said, foaming at the mouth.
Yang Xuan thought this was just ordinary.
It should have been even more tragic when Yi Niang took him out of the confinement of the deposed prince.
"It would have been better if the army had attacked at that time." Zhang Du felt a little regretful.
…
"Tell the uncle in Tanzhou that if we don't provide more food this year, our herdsmen will go to the Tang Dynasty."
Hua Zhuo had a dark face as he watched his men collect the money they had finally accumulated and prepare to go to Tanzhou to make purchases.
The three major ministries were located between Chenzhou in the Tang Dynasty and Tanzhou in the Northern Liao Dynasty. The controller of Tanzhou was He Lianchun, the emperor's uncle in the Northern Liao Dynasty.
When He Lianfeng's father, the previous emperor of Northern Liao, ascended the throne, He Lianchun was only five years old. What threat could a young baby pose?
In order to let the world see his kindness, the emperor doted on this young brother very much. It would be an exaggeration to say that he was pampered.
When Helianchun was older, he was a master of all five poisons. He was proficient in eating, drinking, having fun, gambling and whoring. The emperor saw that he had a headache. However, after many years, even if he had a cat or dog, he had feelings for him and was reluctant to punish him. He could only
Let him be so dissolute.
The old emperor was about to die, and he was worried about unrest before he died. He Lianchun and his family stood guard outside the palace, saying that whoever dared to rebel would step in first by stepping on the corpses of his family.
Later, someone really conspired to rebel. He Lianchun took his family into the palace decisively and reportedly killed several rebels.
So He Lianfeng, who originally wanted to be an emperor and a courtier, had more feelings for the emperor's uncle, but thought of his absurdity and got a headache. In the end, the think tank gave him a way to let the emperor's uncle come to Tanzhou to take charge.
Tanzhou is great!
There are three major troops in the front, and Tang Dynasty would not dare to attack Tanzhou even if it gave ten courages. Moreover, the emperor's uncle is one of his own, and with him in charge of Tanzhou, He Lianfeng can sleep with one more eye closed.
The emperor's uncle always said that he was a philanthropic person, but as soon as he arrived in Tanzhou, he was so angry that He Lianfeng couldn't help but regret his decision, and people came to Tanzhou to scold him.
This emperor's uncle was not good at anything else, but he had one good thing, that is, he was docile to the emperor. So the people of Tanzhou finally ushered in the spring, but the emperor's uncle turned his greedy eyes to the three major departments.
"Khan, the price of food in Tanzhou is twice that of the Tang Dynasty!" Someone said with a wry smile: "The last time I asked for a price reduction, the uncle of the emperor sent someone to tell you whether you want to buy it or not, get out!"
Hua Zhuo really wanted to cut the imperial uncle into pieces, but he gave up the idea just by thinking about the consequences of losing Daliao's protection.
"Go ahead."
Hua Zhuo waved his hand.
"Khan!"
The rapid sound of horse hooves made Hua Zhuo feel confused.
"What's the matter?"
A sergeant came in and said in panic, regardless of saluting, "Khan, Liang Chao's subordinate...is gone."
"What?"
This battle at the beginning of the fourth year of Daqian broke the balance between Waxie and Chenzhou. Not long after Chenzhou's army returned, Waxie's army appeared outside Lin'an City.
Liu Qing forcibly hung the heads of Liang and his son on the top of the city to dry, forcing Vashe to launch a siege.
Lin'an City was strong, and it would be foolish to attack the city in such a season, so Wa Xie retreated in anger.
In Taiping City, Yang Xuan used ruthless tactics to train his subordinates.
There are 2,500 people, most of whom are prisoners.
The shouts of killing can be heard every day even in the city.
Jiang Zhen stayed in silence in his room for a long time before opening a letter.
Skip and read according to the prior agreement: To win trust.
Does this make me a confidant of the Ming Dynasty?
Jiang Zhen found it very difficult.
"But what should I do if I am very happy?" He really wanted to become Yang Xuan's confidant and follow this generous county magistrate.
He thought for a long time and began to write a reply.
good!
He thought about it and regretted it again.
Disaster!
"We can't let them know that the Ming Dynasty is so kind to me." Jiang Zhen decided to leave it at that.
"Mingfu is back."
Jiang Zhen put away the letter, left the room, and saw Yang Xuan leading Nan He and others into the county house.
"I've seen the Ming Dynasty."
"Jiang Zhen!" Yang Xuan, who was furious, nodded and smiled.
Ming Fu is such a good person.
Yang Xuan entered the duty room and cursed: "How can we defend against the enemy without a crossbow? The bow and arrow have a short range, and the enemy will attack after one shot. What's the use of it?"
Yi Niang came in and looked at Nan He when she saw this.
Nan He shook his head, indicating that the problem was not big.
"Lang Jun calms down the fire." Yi Niang turned around and said, "Fourth lady, hurry up and make tea for Mr. Lang."
Zhang Siniang glanced at Yang Xuan and ran away like flying.
Am I a tiger? Yang Xuan sat down, patted his forehead and sobered up a little, "I just received a reply from Tao County, saying that the Taiping Army's 1,000 people are not enough for a crossbow."
Yi Niang didn't understand this, so she casually said: "At worst, I can build it myself and let the old thieves do it."
"This is not a cake." Cao Ying smiled bitterly, "It is difficult to make a crossbow. Craftsmen and good materials are indispensable, but it is so difficult to make these."
According to Yang Xuan's idea, the Taiping Army should have crossbows for long range, bows and arrows for short range, and then use spears to stab you to death.
But the crossbow issue was rejected by Taoxian County, which dealt a blow to Yang Xuan's reform plan.
Yang Xuan suddenly asked: "Is it possible to find a craftsman?"
Cao Ying shook her head, "These craftsmen are all under the control of the Ministry of Industry... not even the Chunyu family."
Nan He said quietly: "The Chunyu family must have it, but it is taboo to make a crossbow. Even if it does exist, his family will cover it up."
The crossbow is powerful and has a long range, making it a powerful weapon for assassinating kings and killing chariots.
The old thief scratched his head and said, "When I went to Northern Liao to rob tombs, Northern Liao didn't even have crossbows. This shows that the Tang Dynasty guarded these craftsmen very closely."
Suzaku said: "Build it yourself."
Make a shit!
If the Taiping Army really wants to produce crossbows, someone in Chang'an should impeach them.
Making a crossbow without permission can almost be a serious crime of treason in both the Tang Dynasty and the Northern Liao Dynasty.
"We still have to find a solution from Tao County."
Yang Xuan wrote to the two brothers over there, asking them to help mediate.
Not long after, Jiang Cunzhong wrote back, saying that he had brought ten crossbows through mediation.
"Ten crossbows?" Yang Xuan was angry, thinking this was teasing. When he saw that this was Zhang Du's favor after pleading his grievances and being slapped by Liao Jin until he almost couldn't take care of himself, he couldn't help but feel guilty.
After Zhang Chumao went to southern Xinjiang, someone focused on Zhong Cheng, saying that Zhong Cheng was hanging around in northern Xinjiang and had no intention of making progress. It has been quiet recently, and we will wait until Zhong Cheng gets through the difficulties.
"I see!"
Yang Xuan felt that Huang Chunhui would not give him only ten crossbows no matter what. This was no different from joking.
After dinner, the family got together to chat.
"Mr. Lang, are you looking for a craftsman?"
asked the old thief.
"Yes." Yang Xuan's desire for craftsmen is extraordinary.
The old thief said: "There are the most criminals in Taiping City. When I was imprisoned in Chang'an, all kinds of strange people came in. There were all kinds of people."
Suzaku: "The people here are nice to talk to and there are many talented people."
Yang Xuan's heart moved, "Ask."
The next day, the old thief found a few people to commit crimes.
"What do you do?" Cao Ying asked.
A middle-aged prisoner on the left raised his hand.
"explain."
"The villain is a blacksmith."
"Where did you work before?"
"The Ministry of War."
Yang Xuan and Cao Ying exchanged glances and asked, "What to build?"
"weapon."
"What weapon?"
"Knives and guns!"
"Can you make a crossbow?"
The prisoner shook his head, "Those people can't leave Chang'an."
Cao Ying sighed in disappointment.
Yang Xuan asked; "If I gave you a way, would you be able to build it?"
The criminal nodded, a kind of confidence called an expert made him look less humble, "Yes."
"What's your name?"
"Grain seeds."
Yang Xuan asked: "Why was he exiled to Taiping?"
Gu Zhong lowered his head, "When the villain came up with something good, the superior wanted to take credit for it, so he framed the villain."
"Hey!" Cao Ying shook her head and sighed.
Yang Xuan asked casually: "Where is that Shangguan?"
Gu Zhong said calmly: "My hand is broken."
"How to break it?"
"He was hit by someone and his hand was stuck in the molten iron. The villain cut off his arm with a knife and saved his life."
"Who hit it?"
"Villain."
Talent!
Yang Xuan thought for a moment and said, "From now on, you will obey my orders."
"Yes." Gu Zhong hesitated for a moment, "I dare to ask Mingfu, what do you want the villain to build?"
"weapon."
After Gu Zhong left, Yang Xuan said to Cao Ying: "We must have our own craftsmen, and slowly accumulate them."
Yang Xuan went out.
The old thief said: "Is Mr. Lang starting to save his family?"
Cao Ying nodded, "What do you think?"
The old thief said: "At the beginning, there were only a few people in Chang'an, but in a blink of an eye, we were in charge of a county and more than 2,000 people under his command. I see! Lang Jun will definitely be able to take charge of a place in the future."
Cao Ying frowned, "Let's get to the point!"
The old thief muttered, "I almost forgot what my husband wanted... The great cause of rebellion will be accomplished!"
The old thief stood up and said, "I'm going out for a walk."
"Second dick!"
He stood under the eaves and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"What are you doing?"
A head suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
The old thief was frightened and jumped up. When he realized that it was Wang Laoer who was hanging upside down from the eaves, he chased after him while yelling and cursing.
The two of them left the county house one after the other.
"Where to go?" Wang Laoer felt that the weather was most comfortable by the fire.
The old thief was bored, "Let's go and walk around the city."
Wang Laoer shook his head, "I won't go."
The old thief was bored, so he coaxed: "I will take you to find beauties and find you a wife."
The sound of horse hooves came quickly.
"The horse is frightened! Get out of the way!"
the knight on horseback shouted.
The figures on the roadside flashed and a man bumped into them.
Wang Laoer's eyes widened, "That's Xiao Erlang, the number one person in Taiping."
The word "Pengci" was coined by Yang Xuan, and it quickly became popular throughout the city.
Xiao Erlang's porcelain touch is famous for his lightning-fast movements, which are not easy to detect, and the person involved may even think that it was his own mistake.
He has experienced countless trials and tribulations and has never failed.
This time was no exception. He even planned to fly over before the war horse hit him.
The war horse stumbled suddenly.
Boom!
Xiao Erlang flew out, and the horse stood firm as a result, and couldn't help but hissed proudly.
"Husband!"
A woman rushed over.
Wang Laoer has been studying the situation in the city very recently, "This is Chang Sanniang, Xiao Erlang's partner. Her tears are shocking."
The old thief was already stunned, feeling like he had been struck by lightning, and couldn't move his eyes away from the woman.
Chang Sanniang raised her head, with a pair of sharp eyebrows and a pair of sharp eyes, looking fiercely at the man who dismounted.
"Dead man!"
In the early spring of the fourth year of Daqian Dynasty, Xiao Erlang, the top porcelain expert in Taiping County, died of porcelain.
