Chapter 24 Everyone has their own knowledge

Just after the fourth update, before dawn, A Lian, who was sleeping in the outside room, got up quietly. The weather was too hot and she couldn't sleep. She moved to the outside room of Yang Yuanqing's dormitory a month ago. On another night twenty days ago, she became Yang Yuanqing's veritable personal maid, and she had a good relationship. From then on, she served her more attentively.

Although Zhuo County in July is the season when the tigers show their power, the weather this year is particularly hot, which is very abnormal compared to previous years. The elderly say that this is a sign of military disasters. Too many people die, and the accumulation of resentful souls makes the weather abnormal.

A Lian came to the water room downstairs, took off her dress, scooped a scoop of cold water from the bucket, poured it on her delicate body with white jade, and washed away the heat all over her body.

At this time, the door was pushed open. A Lian was shocked and hid behind the wooden pillar. When she saw clearly that it was Yang Yuanqing who came in, she felt relieved and said coquettishly: "You will come in without saying a word, it will scare people."

Yang Yuanqing took off his clothes and complained a little, "This ghost weather is covered in sweat for a while and I can't sleep."

He sat on Hu's bench and pointed at his back, "You pour some water for me!"

A Lian walked behind him, scooped two scoops of water and poured it down from his neck. The cold well water made Yang Yuanqing tremble all over.

"A Lian, are there any statements in the city well recently?"

A Lian often goes to buy vegetables, which has brought a lot of news to Yang Yuanqing. Her smooth little hand gently stroked Yang Yuanqing's back and said with a low smile: "Everyone complains that you have closed the city gate for too long, and you are tired of drinking ginger soup. The house is full of pungent lime smell, which makes people unable to bear it. And she is scolding this damn ghost weather. In fact, everyone is very grateful to you. Youzhou actually avoided such a serious epidemic."

"Then are you grateful to me?" Yang Yuanqing smiled and hugged her slender waist.

"Young Master!"

A Lian's face turned red. She struggled gently twice, but she didn't break away. She had to let him go. Yang Yuanqing stroked her smooth skin, smelled the faint body fragrance on her body, and carefully hugged her in her arms.

The outbreak of the Liaodong spread to Youzhou in April. The recent outbreak was Beiping County. A large number of civilians who fled from Liaodong gathered in Beiping County. Many of them became ill and died in Beiping County. Wei Yunqi, the prefect of Beiping County, urgently asked the general manager Yang Yuanqing for help.

Yang Yuanqing immediately issued a state of emergency order, ordering all the people outside the county and city of Youzhou to move into the city. The city was paved with lime, and the people drank ginger soup every day, and were not allowed to drink raw water. At the same time, they sent 20,000 troops to garrison the north of Beiping County and guard the Jiaoshan Pass. This is the only way to enter Youzhou from Liaodong.

The Youzhou army set up hundreds of large tents outside the Jiaoshan Pass. Every civilian who fled back from Liaodong lived here for ten days. He was indeed sick and distributed grain and rice, allowing them to go home, while the fever patients were isolated.

Despite this, a large number of homesick people crossed mountains and ridges into Youzhou, making the Youzhou army unprepared. Yang Yuanqing had to send a hundred patrol troops to patrol the territory of Youzhou and arrest suspicious people at any time.

It was already dawn. After Yang Yuanqing held a regular meeting, he rode his horse to the county government not far away. He wanted to discuss the matter of opening the city gate with Li Yuan.

At this time, the county government had not started working, only the small door of the schoolyard next to it was opened, and there were faint shouts from inside, as if someone was practicing martial arts.

The schoolyard is the place where the yamen runners practice martial arts. It covers a very small area, only about one acre, with equipment such as archery targets and stone locks. Usually, the schoolyard gate is closed and no idle people are allowed to enter.

Yang Yuanqing walked to the small door with some curiosity. Several young men were practicing archery. Although they were just backs, Yang Yuanqing still recognized at a glance that they were Li Yuan's sons, Shimin, Xuanba and Yuanji, who were hiding here to practice archery.

Yang Yuanqing walked in, and the sound of footsteps alarmed everyone. When everyone turned around, they saw that it was Yang Yuanqing, and hurried forward to salute, "See General Yang!"

Li Shimin is the eldest of the three of them. He is fourteen years old this year. He is a mature young man and looks a bit adult. He can already help his father with some simple documents and has his own insights. He came to Zhuo County a month ago.

When he was a teenager, he admired Yang Yuanqing the most, but as he grew up, he no longer admired anyone and was more respectful to Yang Yuanqing.

"Is General Manager Yang here to find my father?"

Yang Yuanqing smiled and nodded, "Have your father not here yet?"

"Dad has diarrhea today!" Li Xuanba next to him said in a muffled voice.

Li Shimin turned around and glared at him, scaring Li Xuanba so much that he lowered his head. Li Shimin apologized: "My father usually comes early. Today he is unwell and may be later. If there is an urgent matter for General Manager Yang, I will go to him immediately."

Yang Yuanqing secretly praised, saying that he was worthy of being Li Shimin. He responded calmly and spoke appropriately, so he smiled slightly, "No big deal, it's just a small deal, it's okay for me to wait."

Yang Yuanqing looked at Li Yuanji again and asked him with a smile: "I heard you went to find General Su Lie to compare arrows?"

Although Li Yuan's family tutoring was very strict and Li Yuanji was not allowed to find Yang Yuanqing's subordinates to compete in the arrow, after enduring for a few months, Li Yuanji secretly went to the military camp without telling his father to find Su Lie to compete in the arrow, but was defeated by Su Lie.

Li Yuanji lowered his head in shame and competed with Su Lie. Only then did he know what it means to have a sky outside. He was too far apart. He probably couldn't even draw Yang Yuanqing's bow, let alone find Yang Yuanqing to compete with him. Yang Yuanqing's smiling question made Li Yuanji feel excited. He raised his head and looked at Yang Yuanqing and said, "I still have time to practice. Five years later, I will find the general manager to compete with him again. At that time, I hope the general manager will be able to do it."

"Ambition!"

Yang Yuanqing gave him a thumbs up. At this time, Li Xuanba handed his bow and arrow to Yang Yuanqing, "Master Yang, can you teach us an archery trick?"

Yang Yuanqing's archery skills are famous all over the world. None of them has ever seen them before, and even Li Shimin's eyes show a hint of yearning.

"All right!"

Yang Yuanqing smiled and took the bow and arrow. Li Xuanba used the archer arrow, which is the basis for practicing archery. The bow is good, it is a stone bow. He glanced at Li Shimin and happily agreed, "Then I will teach you how to use the method of riding a bow to shoot the archer. There are six words: "The heart is here, the eyes are here, the hands are here! Don't aim, you can use the technique of riding a bow."

Yang Yuanqing suddenly raised his bow and arrow into the sky. Before everyone could understand, the long arrow broke out from the string. The arrow was powerful, exactly the same as the method of riding a bow. He heard a whine, and the long arrow fell from the sky and a pigeon was shot through his neck.

Li Xuanba and Li Yuanji grew up their mouths, not because they were Yang Yuanqing's magical arrows, but because Yang Yuanqing didn't look up at all. How did he know that there were pigeons in the sky? Could it be that there were eyes on the top of his head?

Li Shimin was also moved and said, "Good arrow technique! But...How did General Manager Yang know that there are pigeons in the sky?"

Yang Yuanqing returned the bow and arrow to Li Xuanba, and smiled faintly at Li Shimin and said, "I just used handsome arrows, not handsome arrows, do you understand?"

Li Shimin bowed and said, "What is a general arrow? What is a general arrow? Please give advice to Shimin!"

"The so-called arrows are to think of countermeasures when things are about to come, and to look for targets everywhere. The so-called handsome arrows are to predict the enemy first. I knew you were going to shoot arrows before entering the door. Then I found the target, so I didn't look up and knew that there were pigeons circling on my head."

‘I guess the enemy is ahead!’ Li Shimin could understand it at one oops, and he silently remembered the core of the handsome arrow.

Yang Yuanqing smiled at the three of them again and said, "Don't practice archery and bows, you need to practice riding and shooting. The venue here is too small. You can go to the school ground of the General Administration to practice and tell the gatekeeper soldiers that I asked you to go."

The three brothers were overjoyed and bowed together, "Thank you, General Manager Yang!"

"Is Manager Yang coming to see me?"

Li Yuan's laughter came from behind him. Yang Yuanqing turned around and saw Li Yuan wearing a purple robe and a black hat. He walked in quickly and bowed to Yang Yuanqing and apologized: "I feel unwell today, so I have been waiting for Mr. Yang for a long time."

"It's okay, I'm discussing archery techniques with a few young masters."

Li Yuan smiled and asked his three sons: "What have you learned?"

Li Yuanji and Li Xuanba replied together: "We have learned to shoot arrows with step bows."

"What about you?" Li Yuan smiled again and looked at his second son Li Shimin.

Li Shimin nodded, "I learned how to be handsome!"

"Since you all have learned something, have you thanked General Manager Yang?"

The three brothers hurriedly saluted Yang Yuanqing, "Thank you, General Manager Yang for your advice!"

"You are welcome

You go to the military camp to practice martial arts!"

Yang Yuanqing smiled at Li Yuan and said, "Envoy Li, I want to discuss the matter of opening the city."

"General Manager Yang asked to go to the county government to discuss it."

"please!"

The two of them came to the county munition and sat down in Li Yuan's office. A child brought two cups of tea that had just been boiled. Li Yuan smiled and said, "I have been drinking boiled hot water for the past few months. I have become accustomed to it. It was too hot last night, so I couldn't help but drink a cup of deep well water to relieve the heat, but my stomach was no longer possible. It seems that my living habits will have to be changed from now on."

"Yes! Once the plague breaks out, there is almost no cure. I would rather be troublesome and be careful than be careless. Fortunately, there is no epidemic in Youzhou City, which makes me quite relieved."

"This is the credit of General Manager Yang. At that time, General Manager Yang ordered everyone to enter the city, close the city gates, and prevent people from entering and leaving. I still remember the complaints at the beginning. Looking back now, if you don't do this, there will definitely be infected people who are infected and sick in the city. I don't know how many people will die in Youzhou City. General Manager Yang, everyone is very grateful for your iron fist."

Speaking of this, Li Yuan sighed, and this incident made him sincerely admire Yang Yuanqing.

Yang Yuanqing smiled and said, "I ordered the city to be closed for three months, and it will expire in a few days. I want to discuss with Li Envoy Li to postpone the city to be closed for another two months."

Li Yuan frowned slightly, "Does General Manager Yang think there is still an epidemic?"

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "I received news from Peking County early this morning that a large number of soldiers fled, and tens of thousands of people were in a day. Many of them were infected with the epidemic. Some soldiers said that the Sui army was defeated in Sashui."

Li Yuan was shocked, "Are you defeated in the Battle of Goryeo?"

Yang Yuanqing smiled bitterly, "I don't know if I am defeated, but the epidemic broke out and the soldiers fled in large numbers. The prospects were probably not good."

At this moment, someone reported at the door, "General Manager Yang, there is news in Liaodong."

Yang Yuanqing quickly got up and walked out of the county yamen. Li Yuan also followed him out. He saw a mailman standing in front of the steps. When he saw Yang Yuanqing coming out, he quickly knelt down on one knee and said, "I came from Beiping County and report to the general manager to the Liaodong war report."

"What's the situation in Liaodong?"

"The Sui army was defeated in Sashui, and 300,000 troops fled, and only 2,700 people returned to the camp. The emperor has issued an order to train the troops!"
