Chapter 069: Willing to be a Long Wind Surrounding the Battle Flag
Chapter 069: Willing to be a battle flag surrounded by the wind
When Yang Hao arrived at the temporary residence of the Zhe family, he was not well received by others. Although Yang Hao was now the king of Xixia and had all the courtesy that everyone in the Zhe family should have, his indifference made it easy for people to
It can be felt that not only Yang Hao's face does not look good, but also the several palace guards and Mushe people who accompanied him feel uncomfortable for the king.
The reason why the Zhe family reacted like this was because Yang Hao airdropped his sworn brother to Yumen Pass. General Zhe is now the propaganda envoy of the Song Dynasty. He is in Hexi to declare the Song Dynasty's jurisdiction over Xia Kingdom. Even if
Regardless of personal friendship, Yang Hao should have respectfully kept him in the capital to entertain him, but Yang Hao actually sent him to Yumen Pass.
Yang Hao's reasons are quite good. Yumen Pass is the western gate of the Xia Kingdom and an important place to intimidate the countries in the Western Regions. Since General Zhe is proclaiming Hexi, this important place must be inspected. The problem is that Zhe Yuxun and his family are all left behind.
He went to Xingzhou, but he himself was sent to Shazhou. Zhe Yuxun was alone when he went there, but who is in charge of the army at Yumen Pass now?
That person was a direct descendant of Yang Hao - Mu En. Mu En is now the deputy commander of Dunhuang and the chief soldier of Yumen Pass. He single-handedly brought out all the soldiers there. Zhe Yuxun was simply taken over by Zhe Yuxun.
It seems, and the entire Zhe family was left in Xingzhou, which is obviously being used as hostages.
However, from Yang Hao's point of view, it seems that there is nothing wrong. As soon as the Zhejia returned to Hexi, the Zhejia's old members Cheng Shixiong, Ren Qingshu, Ma Zongqiang, and even many famous families in Yuanfu Prefecture rejoiced and held banquets one after another to wash away the dust.
At banquets, they would often burst into tears when talking about their past relationship. They were so attached to their old master, who else could not be wary?
However, the honeymoon period for the two brothers Zhe and Yang is now over. Yang Hao exchanged the jade seal for the full family of Zhe, which was originally a move that was praised by everyone. However, in the eyes of many people, it is just Yang Hao's pursuit of fame.
The main purpose is to use the jade seal to exchange for the peace of Hexi and his own throne. As for exchanging the old and young of the Zhe family, it is just a way to exchange him for a good reputation of righteousness. Naturally, the Zhe family will not appreciate it.
However, Yang Hao didn't know what to do and actually went to the back house to meet Miss Zhe. People in Mushe had heard about the entanglement between the king and the fifth son of the Zhe family. This matter could not be hidden from anyone, and it had already been spread among the people.
, Now it seems that the king is really obsessed with it, and they have no choice but to sit in the front hall and drink tea, enduring the indifferent eyes of the family members.
"I heard that the fifth young master had a high-minded, arrogant and domineering spirit. He had an old grudge with Concubine Shu. They had a fight because of a disagreement, and then left angrily. His whereabouts are unknown since then. Until the fall of Fuzhou,
She had no choice but to return, but she had no choice but to entrust the old department of the family to Yang Hao, and then left without saying goodbye. Obviously, she didn't take the king seriously. At that time, it was like this when asking for help, but now
The king treats her eldest brother like this, and this time we go to see each other..."
Thinking of this, the Mushe people didn't think that the cold reception they were receiving now was anything special. After taking a sip of tea, the Mushe people and Zhe Wei Zheng, who was treating guests perfunctorily, started chatting leisurely...
In Ziyu's boudoir, a few budding plum blossoms were sparsely inserted in the porcelain vase near the window. In the bronze mirror with octagonal silk flowers, Yang Hao and Ziyu were face to face, rubbing their ears and temples together, enjoying the rare tenderness.
Ziyu's hair was casually pulled up into a bun, with a jade hairpin stuck in it. Because the hair was pulled up, it made her oval face have a pointed chin, and her fair neck was slender and long. When reflected in the mirror, she looked like she was on the road.
A swan with its head bowed and its neck reflected in the water is very elegant.
"In Jingli, I have already made arrangements, and I had no intention of letting you participate in it. Zhuyun and Gou'er are enough to accomplish this big thing, so please don't leave again, okay?"
Yang Hao sniffed the fragrance of her hair like a puppy, and bit her neck gently like a vampire, making Ziyu dodge ticklishly: "Brother Hao, I want to do that too."
With you. But... now you and my eldest brother have fallen out. According to my usual temper, if I get close to you, it will inevitably arouse suspicion. If we can't meet each other, what's the point of staying here?
?”
Ziyu grabbed Yang Hao's hands that were gradually moving towards her chest with evil intentions. He rolled his eyes charmingly, a faint blush appeared on his face like jade fat and snow, and said: "Besides, Xiaoyi is certainly a martial artist.
Gao Qiang and Zhu Yun have extremely rich experience in the world of martial arts, but the matter they are dealing with this time is not a matter of martial arts, but involves the court. There are many things that they do not understand. A small common sense mistake may lead to
This caused the entire seemingly perfect plan to fail.
I know how important this matter is to you. Zhao Defang and Princess Yongqing stayed in Bianliang. They are two completely harmless people. But once they are stolen from Bianliang, it will be the most powerful thing.
Weapons are enough to destroy the hypocritical image that Zhao Guangyi has painstakingly created over the past few years, shake the foundation of the Song Dynasty, win over the people of the world, and create the most favorable situation for you to take over the Central Plains and unify the world.
Brother Hao, since I have decided to give my heart to you, your affairs are naturally my affairs. I can do nothing here, but in Bianliang, I can play a big role. You have sacrificed so much for me and the Zhe family.
Too many times. Thinking of the many conflicts of temperament in the past, I really feel regretful..."
She lowered her hair and said faintly: "From now on...if I marry you, I will have to look after my husband and raise my children. I won't be able to leave the house easily. I won't be able to help you with your great cause. This time, you
Just let me go. Once this is done, I... I can stand up and stand up to Yanyan."
"You...are still calculating..."
Zhe Ziyu shook his head gently, looked at himself in the mirror, and smiled brightly: "No, I only know now that I love you and you care about me, that's enough. I'm not trying to compete with her.
Just because this matter is very important to you, so I want to help you. If she had this opportunity, I believe she would not hesitate to take risks. She can do it, why can't I?
?”
She took a bite on Yang Hao's hand and chuckled: "You don't want everyone to think that I will only lose my temper at you and cause you trouble, and I will always be pampered and spoiled by you."
A sensible little girl, right?"
Yang Hao smiled bitterly and said, "Aren't you... still competing with her?"
"I don't!"
Yang Hao shook his head helplessly: "You can never change your temper."
Zhe Ziyu smiled mischievously at him in the mirror, and suddenly said in an extremely gentle tone: "Then how do you want others to change?"
The sudden appearance of charm was extremely moving, and the sudden appearance of amorous feelings radiated a kind of extremely charming magic. She had never practiced the charming skills that she had learned since childhood, but she occasionally showed a delicate and charming attitude, and even Yang Hao was used to it.
People who have practiced dual cultivation techniques and have extremely deep concentration are also enlightened. Could it be that this is the so-called natural charm?
Yang Hao's dazed expression made Ziyu burst into laughter. He blushed in embarrassment before rolling his eyes at him and saying, "You men just like women like this, don't you?"
Yang Hao crossed his arms and said with a smile, "I like you no matter what you look like."
Ziyu Xiaoyao snorted, showing an air of disbelief. Yang Hao put his chin on her shoulder, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "Okay, you almost caused a big fuss in the Song Dynasty with one move to cut off the food supply.
If you don't have any airs, with a little witch like you sitting in Kaifeng Mansion, you will be more sure. But..."
"But what?"
Ziyu blushed and knocked down his Lushan claws again. Although she had opened her mind and decided that she wanted to be his woman, after all, they were not married yet, so she still couldn't accept some of his shameful actions.
Yang Haodao: "But... you guessed a little wrong."
"oh?"
"I want to get Zhao Defang out, not to use him to deal with Zhao Guangyi."
Yang Hao's face became serious: "Whether you believe it or not, my plan stops at Longyou. I have everything in Longyou in Hexi Province. My strength is enough to prevent the Song Dynasty from sending troops to attack easily, and it will not happen all at once.
If we can't win the battle, we will use troops against me endlessly. Zhao Guangyi is not a good brother, nor a good uncle.
But as an emperor, among the emperors of the dynasty, he is still competent. Under his rule, the life of the people of the Song Dynasty will not get worse. The most important thing is that the Song Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses. I am not sure.
It can be defeated even if the force is as powerful as the Liao Kingdom. Therefore, even if countless people in the Central Plains are not once again plunged into disasters and wars, I do not want to compete with him for world supremacy. The risks and benefits are not worth it."
Zhe Ziyu became confused: "Then you..."
Yang Hao sat up straight and said: "I can't be where I am today without Zhao Kuangyin, even though his original intention is not to cultivate me; I can't escape death without the help of Princess Yongqing and Empress Song, Zhao Defang and these two
The help of an orphan and a widowed mother, even though their original intention was not for me..."
In Yang Hao's mind, he recalled the situation when Zhao Kuangyin led him into the stele hall, and said slowly: "Zhao Dezhao is dead. I dare to assert that once Zhao Defang reaches adulthood, he will definitely die suddenly. I want to save him."
He is just out of morality. If possible, I don't want Zhao Kuangyin's two sons to die unexpectedly. However, I am not that great. If I sacrifice you to save him, I can't do it. So, you go here, if
Don’t do anything, make your own safety the first priority.”
Staring into Yang Hao's eyes, Zhe Ziyu believed it. She believed that Yang Hao was telling the truth, but... once the day came, everything in Hexi Longyou was obtained, and the development of the situation would still be under his control.
Are you in it? No matter how high your status is or how powerful your power is, there are some things that you cannot control yourself.
Zhe Ziyu did not say these words, but nodded meekly: "Okay, I rely on you. If nothing can be done, you must put self-preservation as the first priority and bring Zhuyun and Xiaoyi back safely. Tomorrow, I will
My eldest brother is about to go to Shazhou. I know you want to keep it secret and dispel Zhao Guangyi's wariness. My eldest brother also knows it, but no one else in the house knows the truth. If there is anything unpleasant to say, don't take it to heart.
."
Yang Hao smiled and said, "Of course not."
Zhe Ziyu tilted her head and looked at him in the mirror. After looking at him for a long time, a mysterious color flashed in her eyes. Yang Hao wondered: "What are you looking at?"
Zhe Ziyu smiled slightly and said: "Tell the truth, did you 'send' my eldest brother to Yumen Pass just to make a show for Zhao Guangyi, or did you really have the idea of nipping it in the bud?"
Yang Hao's heart skipped a beat and he replied without asking: "What do you think?"
Zhe Ziyu thought about it carefully and said: "After so many years of hard work in running Fuzhou, Fuzhou is an honor for him, but it is also a heavy burden. After a disaster, my elder brother has seen through everything that should be seen through. He I don’t have any other ideas, but if he doesn’t have it, it doesn’t mean that all the people in my Zhe family don’t have it, and none of the people in my Zhe family don’t have it. It doesn’t mean that all the old members of my Zhe family don’t have it. Whether it’s true or false, I think this is A good way not to hurt your friendship. If I were you, I can't think of a better way..."
She looked at Yang Hao seriously, and suddenly laughed and said: "I found that even if it is something that is not good for you, or something that is forced to make concessions, you will try your best to use it and squeeze the most out of it. The good thing is, you really have the potential to be a profiteer."
Yang Hao smiled: "If you don't have this ability, how can you win the favor of the second lady?"
Zhe Ziyu turned his arm and hummed: "Tomorrow, I have to leave too. What about you, besides chasing after Princess Aguli's pomegranate skirt, what else do you plan to do?"
Yang Hao chuckled and said, "You know it's fake, but you still want to be jealous?"
He moved Ziyu's light and delicate body from the Jindun to his lap. The round and straight snowy buttocks sat on his lap without feeling the weight at all. He hugged this lovable beauty tightly, and Yang Hao Ranyi warmed up for a while before saying: "Ziyu, you have wronged me. In fact, I have a lot of things to do. I ate too much in one go. It turned out to be better. Now that the external enemies are gone, there is no internal peace." Stable seedlings are about to pop up. Some of them I have to nip in the bud, and some of them I have to encourage them to burst out quickly; there is also the integration of the army, the integration of officials, and support. Each region develops various industries including industry, commerce, agriculture and livestock with specific emphasis on its characteristics.
For example, the people of Ganzhou are mainly engaged in business and handicrafts. Most of their tribes scattered in the grassland and desert are still engaged in animal husbandry. However, the water and grass in that area are not rich, and those tribes are actually in a difficult situation. Especially after several battles During the war, Ye Luohe took away some strong men from the tribe, and their situation became even more difficult. This winter, I supplemented a large amount of food, but there were hundreds of thousands of people. I couldn't afford to fill it alone.
I plan to let Aguli expand the scale of commerce and handicraft industry in Ganzhou. There is a large area of fertile land under the Helan Mountains relying on the Yellow River Basin. When spring comes, I plan to transfer some poor tribes from Ganzhou and teach them farming skills. , These can firstly solve the population shortage here and develop a large area of fertile land as soon as possible; secondly, they can improve the living conditions of the people in Ganzhou as quickly as possible."
Zhezi smiled sweetly and said: "Ganzhou vigorously develops handicrafts and commerce. In addition to improving their living conditions as soon as possible, it can also speed up their integration with other tribes through commercial exchanges. At the same time, Ganzhou has reduced its own basic industries, and Focusing on industry and commerce, exchanging industrial and commercial products for food and other materials, it will become more dependent on other regions. These more than 200,000 Huihe people, even if there are a few careerists in the tribe, will not be able to make any waves. , Your Majesty, you used a little trick to quietly solve the problem of loyalty of this most restless force, right?"
Yang Hao scratched her nose and said with a smile: "I knew I couldn't hide anything from you."
Zhe Ziyu wrinkled his nose and said: "At the foot of Helan Mountain, the Yellow River has created a large plain for thousands of years, which is indeed suitable for farming. However, just teaching them farming skills will not bring some poor tribes who are nomadic in the Gobi desert.
If you migrate here, you may not be able to develop this area into a prosperous agricultural area. When a large number of people gather here, you will find that land reclamation is not as simple as you thought. Seeds, farm tools, and land harvests can support their own previous food supply.
, it’s not a small amount, your treasury has been emptied, and you can’t develop it just by relying on the imperial court.”
Yang Hao's eyes lit up and he said happily: "Yes, the great scholar of Zhong University and the Minister of Household Affairs have all mentioned these things to me. What kind of advice does female Zhuge have?"
Zhe Ziyu said: "What do you two adults think?"
"Completely contradictory opinions." Yang Hao frowned in distress: "Fan Siqi is in charge of the household department. I want to vigorously develop farming, but he is short of money, people, things, and everything. It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. I
When I conquered Yumen in the west, I annexed the Guasha states of Liang, Gansu and Suzhou along the way. Many wealthy families who had supported the local princes and opposed me were moved to Xiazhou, and now they have moved to Xingzhou. These wealthy families have left their hometowns.
, the land, houses, and shops have all been sold, and now I have a lot of free money in my hands and I am worried about having nowhere to invest it. In fact, we can make great use of their financial resources and designate areas for them, and they will recruit tenants and provide them with farm tools, cattle, and seeds.
and various living materials to complete land development.
However, Master Zhong had objections. He said that landowners who control a large amount of land have considerable power in the local area. No matter how strict the laws are and how strict the system is, they can always use their power to evade taxes in every possible way.
Otherwise, all taxes and various service assignments will be passed on to the tenants, and the land rent will continue to increase. However, the tenants have neither the ability to evade the official assignment taxes, nor the money to pay the taxes. In the end, the rich will get richer.
The poor get poorer.
Once the taxes are too heavy or when there is a calamity year and you cannot survive, there will be rebellion. Most of the sources of civil unrest in the past dynasties originated from this. Therefore, I think it is better to equalize the land, not to mention the absolute equalization of the land.
We should also prevent wealthy gentry families from controlling an absolute majority of the land. Otherwise, it will be like drinking a dove to quench thirst. The immediate problem will be solved, but the seeds of disaster will be sown. Maybe it will lead to great chaos in thirty to fifty years, maybe in a hundred years."
Yang Hao sighed and said: "Now the problem arises. If we don't give those wealthy gentry families a large amount of land, they will have no interest in hiring people to open up wasteland, buy land, and buy farm tools, cattle, and seeds.
Not to mention feeding a large number of people who have migrated before the land is harvested. I am not the king of the mountain, how can I snatch money from people's pockets? But if I follow Fan Siqi's idea..."
Yang Hao shook his head and his face became heavy. Being a king is a great thing, but unless the notorious sentence: "After I die, I won't care about the floods!" is taken as a motto in life, how can one's governance be focused only on the present and not for future generations?
Intend?
Zhe Ziyu turned his head, glanced at him in surprise, and said: "Back then, when you were the envoy of the Song Dynasty to propagate the Tang Dynasty, you traveled everywhere, but didn't you know about the taxes in Jiangnan?"
Yang Haodao: "I didn't think about becoming an emperor at that time, so why should I understand these things? During that time, I mainly understood the mountains and rivers geography of the Tang Dynasty, the deployment of troops and horses, and the civil affairs and economy. Naturally, I didn't know much about it. Why? The fields in the south of the Yangtze River What’s so special about taxation?”
Zhe Ziyu smiled slightly and said: "I see, what I said is that the south of the Yangtze River was the first to lead the trend, and many things were one step ahead of the north, and then slowly became popular in the world. Because my brother was the lord of the prefecture at that time, he had jurisdiction over a province. The land, because of its people, pays great attention to these things. As far as I know, in the northern areas such as Bazhou where you are, tenants are still hired on a share basis, and the landlord provides land, farm tools, cattle, seeds, and the products harvested every year. , the landowner can get 50%, 60%, 70% or even as high as 80%.”
Yang Hao knew this and nodded: "Yes, the Ding family at that time charged tenants 60% and 70% according to the fertility of the land. The most fertile land also charged 80%."
Zhe Ziyu said: "That's it. No matter how the tenants farm the land, the more they harvest, the more the landowner gets, and what is left to him is always limited. Therefore, the tenants are like monks beating the clock every day and working on the land. They don't care much about it. And the landowner's harvest will fluctuate every year according to the actual harvest. In this way, even if a kind-hearted landowner does not pass the tax to the tenants, he will still work hard on the amount of harvest, thus Avoid tax evasion.”
Although Yang Hao was a latecomer, he only remembered a little bit about the ancient land policy and returned it all to the school. He did not have an encyclopedia head. Fan Siqi stood in the position of the Ministry of Household Affairs and was thinking about how to use the best method. Effective policies develop farming and prosper the economy, while farming is a cabinet bachelor who has overall control over the overall situation and considers it more comprehensively. The political stability aspects involved in this issue must also be considered. As a result, the debate between the two people, each with their own emphasis, was put to Yang In front of Hao, he was also stumped. When Zhe Ziyu said it, it seemed that she had a better way, so she immediately took it to heart and listened attentively.
Zhe Ziyu said: "In Jiangnan, most people have implemented fixed rents. That is to say, no matter whether there is good or bad times, tenants will pay the rent according to the initially agreed amount every year. After that, no matter how much is left, it will all belong to themselves. Fixed rents are implemented, and the landowners Basically, he has withdrawn from the management of agricultural production. He only needs to collect rent when it is due, and he does not need to worry about whether the field harvest is good or bad.
The landowner's control over the tenants is weakened, and the tenants can decide independently how and what to plant, as long as they can pay the agreed land rent or its equivalent when it is due. At the same time, under fixed rent, if the harvest is large, the tenants themselves will get If you have more, you will be more at ease with farming, be more enthusiastic about improving farm tools, learn farming techniques, carry out intensive farming, and pay attention to keeping the land fertile. The family will have more food surplus, and some people in the family will be able to get out of the land to eat and plant. Raise mulberry trees, raise silkworms, weave cloth and raise chickens, or do some work such as masonry, carpentry, etc.”
Yang Hao's heart moved: "Damn it, isn't this just land contracting and you are responsible for your own profits and losses? Why didn't I think of it?"
Ziyu said: "There are also some landowners who do not rent out their land, but build water conservancy projects themselves, hire workers to cultivate the harvest, and pay wages based on the amount of labor. The workers use their wages to buy their own daily necessities. I think we can also use it here. These methods can not only maintain the desire of the wealthy gentry for land, but also ensure that they cannot pass on taxes to tenants. If the court wants to collect taxes, as long as they ensure the accuracy of measuring the acres of land they own, then they The difficulty of evading taxes will also be greatly increased. It may be difficult to find a perfect solution, but this method can neutralize the opinions of Lord Zhong and Lord Fan, what do you think?"
Yang Hao sighed leisurely and said: "I just feel... a little bit reluctant to let go."
Zhe Ziyu raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Why are you reluctant to let go?"
Yang Haodao: "I'm a little reluctant to marry you. I think that when you come back, you should join the cabinet and become a bachelor."
Thinking of the separation, Zhe Ziyu suddenly became a little emotional. She turned around, hugged his neck, gently rubbed his face with her soft cheeks, and said softly: "I can't bear to leave you..., wait for me." Come back. When I come back, if you want someone to accompany you and serve on the pillow and mat, they will be the little girl by your side. If you want someone to join the cabinet and serve in government to share your worries, they will hold a wat and go to court in their robes. If you want them, If your counselor and military planes go out to fight with the army, then they will be the wind that blows the battle flag for you. It doesn’t matter, it’s up to you...as you like..."
Yang Hao was moved in his heart, but he didn't want to make her sad, so he joked and chuckled: "My little mouth is so sweet, could it be that I ate honey? Let me try it..."
He held up Ziyu's little face and kissed her delicate red lips gently. The lips met, and Ziyu's watery eyes immediately filled with a layer of intoxicating mist. She hugged Yang Hao Her arms suddenly tightened, she raised her face, closed her eyes, her cherry lips touched each other, and her lilac uvula reacted enthusiastically, with tenderness and wild love...
In early spring in February, the slopes facing Hexi are still white, but the slopes facing Longyou are melting due to the sun. If you don't go close, it is difficult to see the bits of green hidden under the withered grass. However, although the green It's not obvious yet, but the sunny hillside is already a brilliant red like burning clouds. The azaleas all over the mountain are in full bloom.
People in their 20s or 30s rode fast horses from the mountain road. The golden pheasants, gray rabbits, roe deer and other prey on the horsebacks were gently undulating with the horses' hips. The leader of Huyan went into the mountains to hunt this time, and he obviously returned with a full load.
Horse hooves hit the gravel mountain road, and the clear sound echoed in the valley. The village gate could be seen in the distance. This trail was the only way to enter the village. Suddenly, among the patches of azaleas on the hillside, there suddenly appeared It was a cluster of flames that exploded, and several azaleas flew into the air, followed by a few warriors lying below. There were only three warriors, all dressed as hunters. These three people were very skilled. At first glance, Jumping up, he immediately opened his bow and nocked an arrow. It seemed that he had not aimed at it. Three spike-shaped arrows were fired at Huyan Aobo's face. The three arrows were fast, fast and accurate. The guards in front were shocked and felt something strange. Calling for the assassin, he drew his sword out of its sheath, and Tima rushed toward the ambush of the three men.
Three assassins suddenly appeared, and their arrows were shot hard and accurately. Although Huyan Aobo, who was guarded by the guards in the middle, hurriedly moved to hide, he still did not avoid one of the arrows. The sharp arrow hit his left chest. Huyan Aobo shouted and fell off his horse.
"Protect your lord and capture the assassin."
The guards were well-trained. Some quickly surrounded Huyan Aobo with their horses in the center, blocking the surrounding sight. Others were waiting outside, taking bows and arrows in case there were any killers ambush. The three assassins succeeded in the attack and immediately ran towards the ridge. Although the horses on the hillside were not very fast, the guards of Huyan Aobo were all good at riding and shooting. Even when they fired bows and arrows on horseback, they could shoot like a volley of arrows. Although the three of them were snakes Fushu ran around, trying his best to avoid the arrows, but a dozen guards shot arrows together and had already blocked all the directions in which they were lurking. Although they succeeded, their fate was already doomed...
In Kaiyang Village, Huyan Aobo looked at the sharp arrow that accurately hit the chest of "Huyan Aobo" and sneered.
Next to him, the deputy commander Fu Qian said in a deep voice: "This is the third batch of assassins. The arrows are highly poisonous. Even if they don't hit the center, once the arrow is hit, there is not much chance of survival. Sir, you should be more careful."
Huyan Aobo smiled: "Last time, they sent some Hengshan savages to try to attack my stronghold and open the stronghold door. As a result, they lost their armor and returned home. This time, they simply sent assassins. , what a joke, even if they can kill me, with 70,000 of my troops guarding this place, how can they step into Xiao Pass? Humph, they all say that Yang Hao of Hexi is a great hero, he can destroy cities and strongholds, and he can conquer anything. , but all he can do to me, Huyan Aobo, is sneak attacks and assassinations. I don’t think this person is anything special. It’s really strange. People like Li Guangrui, Luorong Dengba, Ye Luohe, and Long Hanhai are in Hexi. He was considered a powerful figure, so how could he be defeated by this person one by one?"
Chi Zun, the leader of Kaiyang Village, smiled and said: "It seems that people like Li Guangrui, Luorong Dengba, Ye Luohe, and Long Hanhai are just like this. It's just that when Yang Hao was crossing Hexi, Master Huyan was assisting Shang Boqian. Your Excellency has conquered all the tribes in Longyou. Otherwise, with Your Majesty Hu Yan’s heroic ability, I only need to raise 30,000 troops to attack Hexi. I will be overwhelming and invincible, and it will be Yang Hao’s turn to show off his majesty.”
Huyan Aobo looked up to the sky and laughed: "It's disrespectful to come and not go back. Since he sent assassins, Fu Qian, you take the people and attack his Jiuyang Village in an upright manner. Give me some color in return. Hum, Xiao Guanxian Unattainable. With me, Huyan Aobo, guarding this place, even if Yang Hao sends an army of 100,000, he will only throw 100,000 corpses to fill the bottom of the valley for me. I want to see what ability Yang Hao has to take me away. Xiaoguan, take someone’s head from his neck!”
