Chapter 49 Princess Pingyang

Yang Ling was actually beaten to death. Yang Xuangan was stunned and a sense of regret surged in his heart. He just wanted to teach the Yang family a lesson, but he didn't expect to beat the person to death. How did he explain to his brother Xuanjing?

"It's not easy to deal with!"

Yang Xuangan sighed in his heart, and could only comfort his brothers, money, women, beautiful houses or land in other aspects. He could only give him whatever he wanted. If he wanted a concubine, he would only give him two. (-< Shuhai Pavilion >-net.)

At this time, Zhang Ji stepped forward and advised: "Duke Chu, there is no way for anyone to die. Duke Chu simply declared Yang Ling's guilt and let everyone know that Yang Ling deserves it. This will not only show that Duke Chu is not favored by his own feelings, but also strictly enforces laws and regulations, increase Duke Chu's prestige, and do not harm Chu's Duke."

Yang Xuangan sighed and said, "It's me, Yang Xuangan, who is incompetent. How could he rely on sacrificing his tribe to establish authority? Since I have been beaten to death by mistake, at least he should leave a name behind him."

He turned around and said to the left and right orders: "Tell me the order, and give Yangling the title of Duke of Wei and the Grand Commander, and buried him with the rituals of kings and princes!"

Zhang Ji was stunned, unable to say a word for a long time. When he saw Yang Xuangan leaving, he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Duke Chu, since Yang Ling died, Yang Xuanjing can be granted a high-ranking official, and a title of king, and in charge of the government, but he can't let him take charge of the army again, otherwise there will be future troubles."

Yang Xuangan understood what Zhang Ji meant, and it was indeed not appropriate to let Yang Xuanjing take over military power again. However, this involved the redistribution of family interests. Yang Xuangan hesitated for a while, and said, "Okay! I'll think about it."

"Duke Chu, don't think about it, but implement it as soon as possible, the faster the better, and you can't delay it!"

"I understand!" Yang Xuangan's listless voice came from a distance.

As soon as Xie Sili returned to his residence, a subordinate told him, "Personnel Pan is here and is waiting in the guest room!"

Xie Sili thought about it. It must be that there was news in Fengzhou. He knew that the Turks were attacking Fengzhou in large numbers. The news had been cut off for almost two months, which made him heartbroken. Xie Sili quickly walked into the guest hall. A young man with a big beard stood up and bowed to him and smiled: "I have been waiting for the sir for a long time.-< Shuhai Pavilion >-net."

This bearded man is the chief of the Chang'an intelligence agency, whose full name is Pan Wendian. He has served as Yang Yuanqing's personal military officer. He is currently the leader of the Chang'an intelligence agency. He is publicly known as the owner of a mule and horse shop in Liren City.

"How is the battle in Fengzhou?" Xie Sili asked impatiently as soon as he entered the door.

Pan Wendian smiled and nodded, "Just just got the latest news, the Fengzhou army defeated the Turks and killed 200,000 enemies. The Turks army has retreated to the north in a hurry."

Xie Sili sat down slowly, and the excitement in his heart was beyond words. He patted his forehead and sighed: "This is really God favoring Fengzhou. With such a commander, why worry about not being able to win the world?"

Pan Wendian took out a text message and handed it to Xie Sili, "This is the order given to you by the supervisor, please take a look!"

Xie Sili took the text message and asked first: "Has the general manager Li Yuan raised an army?"

"It must be because I know, so I will reply."

Xie Sili opened the letter and looked at it, frowned slightly. Pan Wendian bit his lip, but still couldn't help asking, "What did the manager say?"

Xie Sili sighed and said, "The General Manager said that it would be best if it could help Yang Xuangan defeat Li Yuan. If it really could not stop Li Yuan from entering Guanzhong, at least he had to save Dai King back to Fengzhou and not let Dai King fall into Li Yuan's hands."

Pan Wendian nodded silently, and he asked again: "Does sir think Yang Xuangan can block Li Yuan?"

Xie Sili sneered, "What did Yang Xuangan use to block Li Yuan? Is his family?"

Pan Wendian sighed, "It's a pity that Fengzhou wants to resist the Turkic invasion, otherwise we can also seize Guanzhong first, and the opportunity is lost."

Xie Sili smiled and said, "Getting may not be a good thing, and losing may not be a bad thing. Since God favors the general manager and lets him defeat the 300,000 Turkic army, then God will definitely give him the important task of liberating the world. We must have confidence in the general manager."

"Sir, I'm short-sighted."

.........

Chang'an County is a small county on the northern foot of Zhongnan Mountain. The county is high in the south and low in the north, with waterlogged water and Fengshui running through the entire county and flowing into the Wei River to the north.

There is a manor at the foot of Shouyang Mountain in the southwest of Jun County, called Xifeng Manor, covering an area of ​​20,000 mu, including most of Shouyang Mountain and 5,000 mu of fertile land. It is surrounded by high walls and patrol patrol patrol patrols, and no one is allowed to approach it.

This Xifeng Villa is the industry of the Dugu family, but it is only one of the many manors of the Dugu family. In this manor covering an area of ​​20,000 acres, there is a secret army of ten people hidden. This army is composed of slaves from the ten manors of the Dugu family. There are a total of more than 12,000 people. The head general in charge of this army is not the Dugu tribe, but Li Xiuning, the daughter of Li Yuan.

Li Xiuning is Li Yuan's third daughter, 21 years old this year. She is not beautiful, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks a bit manly, but she is very virtuous. She married Chai Shao six years ago. The couple had a deep relationship and had two sons, Chai Zhewei and Chai Lingwu. After Li Yuan raised the army, she named her Princess Pingyang.

Although Li Xiuning was a woman, she was skillful in archery and horses and had a decisive power. On the eve of the reign of the army, Li Xiuning ordered people to recall Chai Shao to Taiyuan. Li Xiuning stayed in Guanzhong and was responsible for contacting the Guanlong family. She made a quick decision and sent people to the capital to bring her mother, sister-in-law and her clan members to the manor. She also sent people to Chang'an and Luoyang to bring all the families of the generals who followed her father to the manor and properly settled them one by one without any omissions.

Dugu Zhen admired her decisive style and excellent organizational skills, so he ordered his clan members to hand over all the Dugu family members in Guanzhong to her commander. Li Xiuning worked tirelessly to train this army, which made this army gradually gain combat effectiveness.

That evening, Li Xiuning, who had been training for a day, returned to his residence in the manor. As soon as he arrived at the door, a maid said, "Miss Mother, the second master is here!"

Li Xiuning walked into the guest hall and saw his second uncle Li Shentong paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. Li Shentong also stayed in Xifeng Villa like Li Xiuning to train soldiers. He was responsible for logistics and external contacts. This time he went out for ten days and just came back.

"Uncle Second, is there any news?" Li Xiuning asked with a smile.

“Good news!”

Li Shentong turned around and smiled and said, "Two good news, one is that our army has arrived in Hedong and is besieging Hedong City. The other good news is that Li Zhongwen, He Panren, Xiang Shanzhi and other rebels are willing to surrender to Duke Tang and help Duke Tang to take Guanzhong."

Li Xiuning was overjoyed. She was particularly concerned about the second good news. These three rebels gathered in Zhouzhi County and Shiping County on the south bank of the Wei River. They were very close to them. She had always wanted to take these three rebels as her subordinates. Li Xiuning hurriedly asked: "How many troops did Li Zhongwen and others unite together?"

"There are 70,000 people, but most of them are mobs. I have seen it. The equipment is simple and there is no training. I just rely on more soldiers to scare people."

Although Li Shentong convinced these thieves, he did not have much confidence in them. However, Li Xiuning did not think so. She could lead 80,000 people to help her father and sank Guanzhong early.

"Uncle II, can you invite them to the villa? I want to talk to them about the alliance between the two parties."

"Okay! I'll go find them and come back in two days at the earliest."

...........

Li Yuan's army captured Hedong City, but did not rush to cross the river. Instead, he led more than 100,000 troops to turn east and widely publicized the army to attack Luoyang.

But Li Shimin was not in the army. Just when Li Yuan captured Hedong City, he led 10,000 elite troops across the Yellow River from Longmen Ferry and entered Fengyi County, Guanzhong. He ordered Chai Shao to lead 10,000 troops to travel slowly along the coast. He pretended to be a merchant and took Yuchi Gong and 300 personal guards toward Pujin Pass.

In the cabin, Yuchi Gong asked worriedly: "Young Master, can you take risks like this?"

Li Shimin wore a white brocade robe, a young master's golden crown, and a feather fan in his hand. He looked handsome and elegant. He shook the fan and smiled slightly and said, "A gentleman does something and does not do it. When can he do it, and when can he not do it, it depends on the person. The reason why I dare to do this is that I have a thorough understanding of Yang Xuanjing, who is Yang Shen's eldest son. He was once an official, but he has no achievements. He spent most of his life in the Yang Mansion mediocre family, but this person has eighteen wives and concubines, which shows his lust.

Moreover, he likes to accumulate copper coins, and always waits for the copper coins to rot before he can order his family to buy goods. So he has a nickname called "Yang Lanqian", which shows that he is greedy for money. In the eighth year of Daye, Yang Xuangan became the prefect of Dongping County and raised soldiers in Liangshan. It was Yang Xuanjing responsible for it. As a result, Zhang Xutuo crossed the border to suppress bandits, but he was so scared that he left the army and ran away alone, causing his army to be wiped out by Zhang Xutuo without any effort. This shows that he is timid and incompetent, such a lustful, greedy and timid, and incompetent, what do I fear him?"

Seeing that Li Shimin studied Yang Xuanjing so thoroughly, Yuchi Gong admired him very much. Knowing himself and his enemy, and winning every battle, this was so correct to use the young master. He asked strangely: "Since Yang Xuanjing is so incompetent, why did Yang Xuangan still use him to guard the Eastern Front and hand over such an important position to him. Is it really no one under Yang Xuangan's subordinates available?"

"No!"

Li Shimin shook his head and smiled, "The reason why Yang Xuangan valued Yang Xuanjing is related to Yang Xuanjing's family status. Yang Xuanjing is the son of Yang Shen. Yang Shen supported Yang Xuangan to stabilize the position of head of the family during the family split crisis. Out of gratitude, Yang Xuangan handed over the Yang family's wealth and power to Yang Shen. Later, Yang Shen was seriously ill and transferred the wealth and power to his son Yang Xuanjing. It is precisely because of this that Yang Xuanjing became the second person in the Yang family and had a great influence in the family. Yang Xuangan had to value him. If we talk about talent, Yang Xuanzhao, Yang Wei and Xie Yingdeng are all good generals. They can lead troops to fight, which are much stronger than Yang Xuanjing. However, Yang Xuangan should not have let him be the commander of Tongguan. He can be the prime minister, and he can hold financial power. The power of officials is not the power of military power."

Speaking of this, Li Shimin sighed, but this was for Yang Xuangan. He couldn't figure out how Yang Xuangan would have a son like Yang Yuanqing?
