The captives went back and told Yang Xuan that they were going to exchange 300 captives for 200,000 yuan of cattle and sheep. Hua Zhuo was furious and immediately chopped the captives into pieces. His face was full of blood and he looked particularly ferocious.
The wise men around me said that there were two ways, one was to give the cattle and sheep, and the other was to kill Yang Xuan.
After Yang Xuan died, this matter naturally disappeared.
Hua Zhuo couldn't bear to part with the cattle and sheep, so he sent his brother Wahai out again.
"Kill him!"
Wahai still remembers Hua Zhuo's madness at that time, which shows how much pressure and harm Yang Xuan brought to him.
Kill him!
Wahai only has Yang Xuan in her eyes.
Next to Yang Xuan is Wang Laoer and the old thief, who are also old rivals.
Wahai was ready to slap Wang Laoer and kill Yang Xuan.
But Wang Laoer didn't move.
A sergeant next to him was a little stooped.
Suddenly he sat upright.
That majestic body stretched out.
Choking!
The sound of the sword being unsheathed is also different.
The huge door-like sword slashed into the wind!
Wahai punched subconsciously.
The inner breath is running crazy!
Boom!
The giant knife still fell.
Wahai's body flew upside down, and a mouthful of blood spurted out in mid-air.
He fell on the horse and galloped away without hesitation.
The sergeant wielding the giant sword shouted: "Stay!"
The giant knife flew over with a roar.
Wahai turned around and punched, and the giant knife flew back with a bang. He himself lay on the horse's back, spitting out blood as the horse jolted.
Too careless!
He did not expect that Yang Xuan would have such a master beside him, so he was not prepared enough and was severely wounded by the knife.
He looked back and saw that the sergeant took the giant sword and glanced at his body, as if it were real.
The eldest nephew's cultivation is really remarkable.
But Yang Xuan was not happy at all.
"Your Majesty, you are so happy to have achieved success in cultivation."
He was praising hypocritically, but he was thinking that one day his eldest nephew wanted to avenge his brother-in-law, so he walked into the county house and chopped him with a knife while he was not paying attention.
Who knows afterwards?
Damn!
This is a time bomb!
Maybe Yang Xuan will be blown up to death at some point.
King Wei glanced at him and asked, "How is your cultivation level?"
"Hahahaha!" Yang Xuan laughed heartily, concealing his own weakness.
Wang Laoer stepped forward and said, "I will fight for Mr. Lang!"
King Wei looked at him with as much pressure as a prison!
The aura of a master and the aura of noble status suppressed the past.
"Second brother!" Yang Xuan shouted, "Back off!"
Wang Laoer was stubborn and just stared at King Wei without evading it at all.
King Wei stretched out his hand.
"Try it!"
Yang Xuan was already ready to draw his sword, but he didn't take action when he heard it was a try.
Wang Laoer waved.
Boom!
Wang Laoer flew out, somersaulted in mid-air, and landed safely.
King Wei asked: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
Wang Laoer mounted his horse again, "Afraid!"
King Wei said calmly: "Then why do you dare to face me directly?"
Wang Laoer said: "I want to stand in front of Mr. Lang."
"Next year, you should be able to block that person just now." King Wei's eyes showed a hint of appreciation, "Follow me, and you will be lucky in the future."
Wang Laoer was focused on practicing and made great progress. Now the old thief has lost his dignity in front of him, and Cao Ying didn't mention the move at all.
Yi Niang saw him practicing hard every day, and she was happy to think of ways to get meat... So there was often a sheep in the flock that didn't eat grass.
Wang Laoer shook his head, "I won't go."
"What's good about Yang Xuan?"
"Mr. Lang, give me meat to eat."
"My king, there is always mutton here every day, and there is also beef. Just eat it."
"I only eat meat from home."
Little boy!
Yang Xuan smiled.
The next day, they saw the royal court.
Tens of thousands of cavalry gathered in front of the royal court... some were wearing civilian clothes, obviously just to make up the numbers.
Hua Zhuo came on horseback surrounded by a group of generals and nobles.
He had no choice but to come.
Because a group of Taiping Army cavalry 'passed by' from the side the day before yesterday and dropped a letter saying they were going to Tanzhou to wait for news.
Once the negotiations here break down, the emperor's uncle will be notified over there.
Then the king of blackmail, the shameless eldest brother, the Northern Liao Emperor Uncle will appear and come to the Vaxie Department to have a good talk with him.
The young county magistrate in front of him relied on his location in Taiping County and various leverages to force him to the point where he had to step forward.
"Khan, surround him and kill him!" a general said with murderous intent.
Hua Zhuo also had this idea.
"Khan, there are people on both sides." Someone reminded.
Hua Zhuo looked at the distance on both sides. There were dozens of horsemen on each side reining in their horses to observe. Once they found signs of outflanking by the Waxie tribe, they would run away.
Their scouts prepared to cut through, but were blocked.
Do you want to take action?
The scouts are waiting for orders.
Yang Xuan and others were hundreds of steps away and reined in their horses.
This distance is very safe. If something goes wrong, retreat.
"Yang Mingfu, please come." Someone next to Hua Zhuo waved.
"Khan, please come." Yang Xuan smiled as harmlessly as a little white rabbit.
The two sides are in a stalemate.
In the end, they reached an agreement and each brought one person to meet with them.
Yang Xuan turned around.
King Wei was still wearing the clothes of a sergeant.
"That person doesn't allow it!"
The person sent from the opposite side pointed at King Wei and said.
"You actually recognized me at a glance!" King Wei sneered.
Yang Xuan pointed to the giant sword on his eldest nephew's waist.
This giant sword is like a firefly in the dark night. It's so exciting, who the hell can't see it?
"Second dick!"
Yang Xuan came forward with Wang Laoer.
Hua Zhuo came forward with a general.
Both sides stepped back three steps away.
"How are you doing?" Hua Zhuo asked politely.
"It's okay." Yang Xuan also smiled and said, "I heard that Khan has a brother named Wahai. Why don't we see him today?"
Hua Zhuo said calmly: "He has something to do."
"Really?" Yang Xuan said with a smile: "Then let's discuss a business deal."
"Where are Ben Khan's people?" Hua Zhuo only saw fifty people.
"We were all on the way to Tanzhou, we just took a detour."
"Aren't you... afraid that Ben Khan will send out an army to destroy the peace?"
"Of course I'm afraid, but once the balance is broken, I don't know what the emperor will think... If the Tang Dynasty counterattacks, let alone the three major forces, Tanzhou will also be in ruins!"
"The Tang Dynasty was weak."
"No, Datang is booming."
"Two hundred thousand dollars is too much."
"I just want cattle and sheep."
"There aren't that many cattle and sheep."
"Then let the emperor come and ask for it."
"you……"
"Is the Khan going to take action?"
Hua Zhuo looked at him deeply.
"Ben Khan remembers you."
This is a threat!
Yang Xuan suddenly became furious, "You bastard, do you think Datang is a horse herding land? You can come and leave whenever you want."
Hua Zhuo's face was ashen.
"Of course!"
"Old dog!" Yang Xuan said coldly: "Today I want to tell you, don't watch you have fun today, be careful about making lists in the future."
"Let your emperor say this to Ben Khan." Hua Zhuo smiled.
Yang Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked at him, "Okay."
He turned his horse around and said, "Cows and sheep, I want to see them right away!"
This is an alliance under the city.
The general next to Hua Zhuo was furious, "This man is rude!"
"What do you want Li Lai for?" Hua Zhuo said calmly: "The people in the Central Plains are too reasonable, so we kill them again and again and enslave them. Remember, they use their mouths, we use our long knives."
"But Yang Xuan just scolded the Khan."
"Which one is more comfortable for you, being scolded or killing his whole family?"
"Kill his whole family."
"It's not that I don't want the army to attack, I'm just waiting for Bei Liao. Bei Liao has been dormant these years, waiting for the opportunity. In recent years, they have been harassing Datang in the border areas. This is a trend, and I am waiting for it. When the wind gets stronger, let’s ride the wind and break the waves again!”
"But the emperor's uncle didn't mean it and still wanted to mediate."
"That's a shameless person."
"Why do I think that Yang Xuan and the emperor's uncle are the same kind of people?" The general was puzzled.
After the cattle and sheep were delivered, Yang Xuan ordered people to drive them back.
He kept a considerable distance from Hua Zhuo's five thousand riders and followed them slowly along the way.
The two parties will exchange near Taiping.
Otherwise, if Hua Zhuo turns his back, the cattle and sheep will be in vain.
…
The magistrates of five counties gathered in Lin'an County.
Du Hui stood at the gate of Zhouli, with Lu Jiao beside him.
"Yang Xuan didn't come." Lu Jiao sneered, "Your Majesty values him, but this man is arrogant because of his favor. Today, all the magistrates of the five counties are here, but he is not here."
Du Hui glanced at Lu Jiao and knew that this was a provocation.
"The envoy is here."
Liu Qing and Lu Qiang are here.
"I've seen the envoy."
Everyone salutes.
Liu Qing nodded, "You are all busy, so please keep it brief."
Lu Qiang said: "The great victory in Taiping County has inspired the morale of the army and the people. Taiping used to be a dangerous place and was captured many times. Now it has become a blessed place. What exactly happened here? This time the envoy will take you to wait. Go and see and learn.”
Du Hui glanced at Lu Jiao.
Lu Jiao laughed, "I'm going to learn from a young boy when I'm old enough?"
Liu Qing stopped and looked at him, "You are old but can't handle the affairs of the county. Why don't you learn? Wait for death?"
The familiar roar stopped the nearby people, and said with a look of relief: "Your Majesty is still full of energy, and I, Chenzhou, will definitely be safe this year."
Lu Jiao was stunned, letting the spit spray all over his face and not daring to wipe it off.
"Set off!"
Liu Qing finished his roar.
Walking slowly all the way.
After entering Taiping County, Liu Qing saw farmers in the fields, so he dismounted and said, "Go and have a look."
Chenzhou is a dangerous place, and they brought hundreds of cavalry with them on this trip, which was a huge force.
The farmer quickly saluted.
"No need to be polite."
Liu Qing supported the old farmer and said to the farmers who were bowing in panic: "Stand still."
"This piece of land... is about to be opened, right?" Liu Qing leaned over and picked up a piece of soil, sniffed it, and looked again.
The old farmer was surprised, "Your Majesty, you actually understand this?"
"Why don't you understand?" Liu Qing crushed the soil with his hands, "I have been in Chenzhou for many years, and I have opened a vegetable field in the state. At least I am self-sufficient, so as not to spend too much."
It’s difficult in Chenzhou!
Liu Qing patted the soil in his hands and said, "There hasn't been any cultivation in Taiping for several years."
Lu Jiao asked: "Aren't you afraid of waiting for the reclamation this year?"
The old farmer said: "I'm afraid! I just want to survive. If you don't cultivate the land, you will have to drink the wind."
Du Hui asked: "Then why didn't you dare in previous years?"
"Horse thieves were fierce in previous years." The old farmer blew his nose, wiped his nose with his hand, then leaned over and wiped his hands on the soil, stood up and said: "Horse thieves also came this year, and were beaten to pieces by our Taiping Army. Who was that a while ago... …People from the Waxie tribe also came and wanted to trample our crops, but the Ming government led people to chase them all the way. They said they killed many of them and captured many of them."
Lu Jiao smiled and said, "If we capture the prisoners, we will send them to Lin'an. Where are they? It's not a lie, right?"
The old farmer blushed, "How can you lie? Mingfu says one thing is one thing and never tells lies!"
Lu Qiang asked: "How can you see it?"
The old farmer pointed in the direction of the county town, "During the spring plowing this year, some people said that it was difficult to buy seeds. The Ming government said that if your family is in difficulty, just go to the county to report, and the county will lend you money to buy seeds, and you will pay back the money after the autumn harvest. The villain begins.
I didn’t believe it, but later I was forced to ask by my old wife at home, and hey! I really gave it to him!”
Liu Qing frowned and said softly: "Lao Lu."
Lu Qiang nodded and asked again: "Isn't he afraid that you won't pay back the money?"
The old farmer smiled and said, "I'm afraid! The Ming Mansion happened to be there that day. Oh, what a handsome young man. The villain looked like his own grandson, so he blurted out. The villain was so scared at the time that he was so scared.
I was punished by the Ming government, but the Ming government said... officials are supported by the people, aren't they the children and grandchildren of the people? This is true!"
Liu Qing's eyes were dark and he glanced at the county magistrates.
"Look at what you said, you are completely off track." The old farmer smiled hoarsely, "The other day someone asked what to do if someone defaulted on their debt. The Ming government said that there are only a very small number of defaulters. If you default on your debt once, it will be gone. If it is for that
If a very small number of people default on their debts and ignore more people, that is not diligent government, but lazy government!"
The old farmer scratched his head, "How do you say that? Little man... By the way, the Ming government said that before a government decree is issued, you have to think about whether it is good for most people or a small group of people. What else can I say?
…No government decree is good for everyone…”
Liu Qing was silent.
Lu Qiang asked; "What do you think this year will be like?"
The old farmer sniffed and said happily: "With Mingfu here, I think... I will definitely have enough to eat this year!"
"Okay! Eat your fill!" Liu Qing nodded and led everyone back.
On the way, he said: "Everywhere in Chenzhou cannot afford to buy seeds. In the past, we could only watch. Yang Xuan became the first government to lend money to farmers. What do you think?"
"It's a good thing."
"In the past, I thought it was ridiculous how the government could lend money to the people. The biggest worry was that the people would not pay back the money. What Yang Mingfu said was shocking! Just because a small group of people will default on their debts, most people can't be allowed to do so.
Suffer a loss."
"It's true!"
Lu Qiang said: "It's a good idea."
Liu Qing said calmly: "He compared officials to the children and grandchildren of the people. What do you think?"
A group of officials looked expressionless.
Liu Qing said: "You are used to being aloof in front of the people. As a descendant, you should be the father-in-law of the people."
"Hey! What is that?"
The county seat is not far away, and you can see a group of people outside the city gate.
Liu Qing turned his eyes and saw a white cloud slowly floating in the distance on the left.
"That's..."
"It's the flock!"
The people were cheering.
"It's our flock!"
"What's going on?" Lu Qiang was stunned, "Taiping, where did Yang Xuan get so many sheep?"
On the other side, more than two hundred prisoners "reluctantly" said goodbye to Taiping, and staggered toward the Vashay cavalry who came to meet them.
Yang Xuan learned that Liu Qing and others had arrived and hurried to greet them.
"Du Ming Mansion." Lu Jiao looked at Yang Xuan riding his horse from afar and said with a smile, "Look at this guy, he is young and promising!"
Someone rushed over from the side, with a strong figure.
The accompanying sergeant hurriedly intercepted him.
The person jumped up and threw the dagger in his hand over with all his strength.
"Du Hui, the dog thief, shall die!"
Du Hui had no time to dodge and was stabbed in the shoulder.
Why do you want to assassinate me?
He clutched his shoulders and staggered back.
He swore he didn't even know the assassin.
The assassin threw the short knife and was surrounded. He took out a small knife and said with a smile: "If you can fulfill your brother's instructions, you will die in peace."
Du Hui was carried away to find a doctor, and glanced at the assassin as he passed by.
The assassin looked at his appearance and was suddenly dumbfounded, "Is he Du Hui?"
Yang Xuan approached and dismounted. He was worried about Liu Qing's safety and shouted: "Get out of the way!"
When everyone saw him coming, they greeted him one after another.
"I've seen Yang Ming's house!"
"Yang Xuan is here!"
Yang Xuan felt relieved when he saw that Liu Qing and Lu Qiang were fine, and then looked at Du Hui who was being carried over.
"Take it!"
The assassin decisively slashed his neck with a knife before the sergeants came over.
Hearing the sound of blood spurting in his ears, the assassin was a little confused.
