Chapter 898

Surprise or surprise

Chapter 898 Is it a surprise, is it a surprise

The reason why Guanzhong is called the foundation of the emperor is that one is fertile and thousands of miles away, which is easy to cultivate; the other is the dangerous terrain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

That is to say, if anyone occupies the pass, he only needs to stick to the pass, squat inside to practice his internal skills, watch the outside fight and kill, and do what he wants.When it is strong enough, it will go out and conquer.

After leaving Chang'an, Yang Xuan was eager to return home.

But he did not forget to observe the people's livelihood along the road.

"Old man, maybe the family is full?"

Yang Xuan sat by the road, talking to an old man.

The old man said very respectfully: "It's okay."

This person was a little scared... Yang Xuan wanted to inquire alone, but Lin Feibao was the first to veto it.

This is Guanzhong, God knows if there are any old monsters watching from behind.If they found out that Yang Xuan was alone, they would kill him without hesitation.

There was no other way, Yang Xuan could only bring Wu Ya to visit.

"How is it at home?"

Generally speaking, when you ask at home, you will be obviously relaxed.

"Hey!"

The old man sighed, "There is no land!"

"Son or grandson?"

The Tang Dynasty adopted an equal-field system, that is to say, every man has a field, which is divided by the government, and only the farming is done.

The government gives you the land, and you pay the taxes. This is an invisible contract.

"The son's generation had no land! Later it was distributed to neighboring counties. The grandson's generation has no land. Hey! What do they eat!"

Yang Xuan asked some more questions, got up and said, "Thank you very much."

The old man watched him go away and wondered who this man was.

"what!"

The old man was about to pick up a hoe, but found a bunch of copper coins.

"This……"

He looked at the smoke and dust in the distance, and said happily: "He is a good official!"

In the eyes of the people, the one who benefits me is a good official.When you are in power and can bring benefits to the majority of the people, it is not uncommon to have an umbrella of people and a petition to stay in office.

A good man cannot be a good official, because any official is as clear as water and cannot stop the officials as slippery as oil.Good people are rare, and good officials are even more rare.

More than ten riders appeared.

The leading man rode over and asked condescendingly, "Can the old man see hundreds of horses passing by?"

These people don't look like good people... The old man nodded, "Let's go! Let's go!"

"Have you ever asked me?"

"No!"

"go!"

More than ten riders continued on their way.

The old man poohed lightly at their backs.

He didn't understand the reasoning, he only knew that the noble man in front of him was kind to him and returned the money... Even if he didn't give the money, would he still dare to resent him?
And the group of people behind looked domineering, so it was obvious that they were not good people.

Going forward, the terrain is gradually steep, and the canyons and mountain roads are daunting.

"I don't know who is more difficult than the Shu Road."

Han Ji was very interested, and the old thief said, "Is there a poem from old Han?"

"Old man..."

Han Ji was very happy with his poems, but when he glanced at the boss, all his poetic qualities disappeared.

In front of Luban's gate, there is no need to use a big axe.

Yang Xuan took a look at Han Ji, seeing that he was full of energy, similar to the state of a wedding night, he knew it in his heart.

Although the small group always said that it didn't matter whether Chang'an was appointed or not, the long-standing pressure from the central dynasty still existed.

As the name suggests, this is a rule that has been practiced for thousands of years.

The old thief obviously also had some such thoughts, and said to Han Ji: "In the past, Mr. Lang was in charge of Northern Xinjiang as the deputy envoy of Jiedu, and I was quite uneasy. After thinking about it, I can't think of a reason."

Han Ji sighed, stroked his beard, and remained silent.

"What's the point?" the old thief said dissatisfied.

Han Ji smiled, "It's like a man and a woman wanting to live together before marriage."

Old thief: "Wonderful!"

Wu Da's eyes lit up, "Beijiang is a woman, and the owner is that man. What kind of marriage, she went straight to her!"

This group of people is really... Yang Xuan coughed dryly.

The itchy old thief held back his flirtatious words and said with a straight face, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Everyone walked around on the mountain road, but they were also leisurely.

Out of here is the main road, and then hurried back to northern Xinjiang.

"Go home!"

Wang Laoer shouted towards the mountains ahead.

The old thief smiled and said, "Second brother, isn't Chang'an good?"

"There is no Yi Niang in Chang'an!"

Wang Laoer said.

This time he bought a lot of things for Yiniang in Chang'an, and bought some toys for Ah Liang by the way.

In terms of wealth, except for Yang Xuan, he is the only one here.

In the woods on both sides of the mountain road in the distance, hundreds of people are waiting silently.

They squatted against the trees, their expressions were calm, almost indifferent.

The general stood behind the tree, squinting and listening.

Birdsong suddenly came from ahead.

Three long and three short.

The general raised his hand.

The sergeants quietly stood up and pressed their hands on the handles of their knives.

The murderous intent came suddenly.

And ten miles behind Yang Xuan and the others, Zhao Song and Sun Yan, Yang Songcheng's aide, had just arrived. After dismounting, they were drinking in a roadside pavilion.

The pavilion is a place for travelers to take shelter from the rain, and even those who can't catch up with the head of the shelter spend the night in the pavilion.

At this moment, dozens of soldiers were standing outside the pavilion with a majestic momentum.

In the pavilion, Zhao Song raised his glass and took a sip of wine, and asked, "Is the head of the country ready?"

Sun Yan shook his head, "No need to prepare."

Zhao Song squinted at him, "The old man said that if the head of the country throws the old man as a target, then don't blame the old man for being ruthless. The Yingchuan Yang family is very powerful, but if the old man leads an army..."

This person is domineering and vulgar... Sun Yan smiled, "As soon as the news arrives, the head of the country will enter the palace immediately. Your Majesty, thinking about it, he will be furious."

"Outraged?"

Zhao Song smiled.

"Wrath..."

Sun Yan also laughed.

The two raised their glasses.

Sun Yan put down the wine glass, "Are you sure about that place?"

Zhao Song said indifferently: "That's a mountain road, with low hillsides on both sides, covered by forests. When they passed by, the ambush soldiers were covered with random arrows, and then rushed out. The old man prepared more than ten good men with big crossbows , just to deal with Ning Yayun."

"Can the crossbow bolt kill him?"

"If you do the math with your heart, you will die even if you are a god!"

"It doesn't matter whether Ning Yayun dies or not. Once the army arrives, even if the ancestors of the Xuan Dynasty are resurrected, they can only crawl before the strong bow and crossbow of my Great Tang Tiger."

Sun Yan rapped on the table with his fingers, "The important thing is, Yang Xuan!"

"You don't need to say it!"

Zhao Song looked at the official in front of him, "This son is vicious, and his methods are good. This time the three families besieged the Zhou family, and the old man was humiliated by his subordinates. The Yang family was the worst, and it was the first time in a thousand years that it was breached..."

Why do these words have a taste of gloating?
Sun Yan's expression remained unchanged, but he was sneering in his heart.

The aristocratic families love to marry each other. At the earliest time, they self-confessedly said that they didn't like the aura of the nouveau riche of the royal family, and they were not interested.However, as Yang's staff member, Sun Yan is very clear that the marriage of aristocratic families is not based on the background, but on the interests.

Moreover, when aristocratic families married in the past, they would look at the long-term interests, which is why they rejected the nouveau riche.

Nouveau riche, its prosperity is booming, and its death is also sudden.

The benefits of marrying them are temporary, and when they collapse, the benefits turn into disadvantages.

But looking at the present, the empress is the daughter of the Yang family, and the former concubine is the daughter of the Chunyu family...

What background?
Since the founding of the country, most of the emperors have been suppressing and weakening the aristocratic families openly and secretly.From being arrogant at the beginning, the aristocrats of the aristocratic family later became short and sent their daughters to the palace.

This is profit at work.

And Yang's being breached, this is a milestone event.

Yang Xuan's orders brought down the walls of the Yang family, which was more terrifying than being breached.

There are many means for the superiors to maintain their majesty, the most common one is to maintain a sense of mystery.

Among them, daily life cannot be seen by ordinary people.

But when the wall fell, everything was exposed.

That morning, thousands of people gathered outside the Yang family.

They were all pointing at the Yang family.

Oh!
It turns out that Yingchuan Yang's family is like this!
The sense of mystery is lost, who will regard you as a god?
Therefore, the real reason for ambushing Yang Xuan was this.

Sun Yan raised his glass, "Congratulations to Yang Xuan!"

Zhao Song drank his wine, put down his glass, and said, "In Western Xinjiang, after those barbarians capture an enemy, they will press him on a wooden stake and chop off his head with a big axe.

At this time, the person is not completely dead, and can even blink.At this time, I will ask him, but I regret it. "

Sun Yan's back felt chills, "Can someone tell me?"

Zhao Song shook his head, "Someone said it, but I don't believe it."

He pointed to his throat, how could this man speak without the air in his throat?
"Afterwards, the heads will be hollowed out and made into wine vessels. At every clan feast, if everyone drinks with wine vessels made of heads, then this tribe should not be provoked, they are all warriors."

Sun Yanqiang smiled, "Barbarian!"

"The old man will make Yang Xuan's head into a wine vessel and give it to the head of the country!"

Sun Yan: "..."

Zhao Song stared at him, "Don't dare?"

Even though the two sides are currently allies, they are still fighting secretly.

Sun Yan smiled, "The wine vessel is fine, the chamber pot is good!"

Zhao Song looked at him and suddenly laughed.

"Okay! Just the chamber pot!"

Come on a ride.

"Duke, Yang Xuan is approaching the mountain path."

"it is good!"

Zhao Song threw away the wine glass, got up and walked out.

Sun Yan drank slowly and said with a smile, "This is really a good day!"

……

Yang Xuan reined in suddenly.

"Stop!"

Everyone reined in.

"Is there something wrong with Mr. Lang?"

Lin Feibao asked.

The scalp is tingling, and it's numb.

Yang Xuan looked ahead and thought, how should I explain this to them?
My scalp is tingling and something is wrong...they will think I drank too much last night.

I had a nightmare last night, dreaming that someone ambushed us here... They will think that I have been too stressed recently, so that they have delusions.

I……

Why should I explain?

Yang Xuan suddenly smiled.

"It stands to reason that the birds in the woods would be startled when so many of us pass by the mountain road. But just wait and see..."

This reason should be good.

Everyone: "..."

Wang Laoer muttered, "Lang Jun must really want to go back to northern Xinjiang."

Turn around and cut half of the jerky of the second child... Yang Xuan said: "The mountain road ahead is narrow, if there are people ambushing on both sides, we can't move, we can only be beaten passively."

He looks at the crowd.

"Get off your horse, split into two groups, and go around."

In the woods, the general frowned.

According to the previous signal, Yang Xuan and the others should be here now.

What about people?
He was a little uneasy.

Look at those soldiers... they are all Zhao Song's confidantes and elites, and there are more than ten experts among them.

These people and Zhao Song are in a relationship where everyone is hurt and everyone is prosperous.

Therefore, I wished that Yang Xuan would appear at this moment, and the random arrows would shoot him to death.

What about people?

The general stood on tiptoe and looked to the right.

He felt something was wrong, and softly ordered: "Go and see!"

The two masters nodded, and just as they were about to set off, they heard the sound of horseshoes.

coming!

The general waved.

Two good hands held the handle of the knife and stared at Shandao.

The general said softly: "Yang Xuan is number one!"

The crowd nodded.

The first wave of arrow rain will cover Yang Xuan, and there are many crossbow arrows in it.

Archers raised their longbows.

The crossbowman raises his crossbow...

Bright eyes.

The last one is the most incompetent.

A sergeant looked at Shandao, feeling a little annoyed that he couldn't participate in the first wave of raids, so that when calculating the credit afterwards, he had the least.

Why?

Ahead, the sound of hooves approaching.

All bend forward.

After a wave of arrows, it was a charge.

To kill the other party by surprise!
The general breathed heavily for a moment.

After all, he is the Lord of Northern Border, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty!

But today, the famous Tang general will die in their hands.

This excitement was so overwhelming that everyone felt their bodies became lighter and their eyes brightened...

coming!

A horse rushed into the mountain road.

While running, the ass bleeds.

It's an empty horse!
The general narrowed his eyes, "Not good!"

"Fire arrows!"

A shout came from behind.

A wave of arrow rain covered them from behind.

Many people who were engrossed in waiting for Yang Xuan and others to enter the mountain path were so unbelievable after being hit by the arrow that they didn't react at all.

When the general turned his head, he saw Wu Ya rushing down.

The black armor, at the beginning... is Pei Jian who defeated Zhao Song.

"cannot!"

The general subconsciously shouted, "No!"

They quietly sneaked into the forests on both sides, and for this reason they bypassed the mountain road, just not wanting Yang Xuan and others to discover the dense horseshoe prints.

But at this moment Yang Xuan appeared behind them.

Surprise, not unexpected?
"kill!"

This is a hearty counter-ambush!
The enemy's resistance was tenacious, but there were too many casualties in the first wave, so the horned dragon guards charged again, and the rest fled to both sides.

When Lin Mo entered, Yang Xuan didn't pursue him, but was a little puzzled: "With Zhao Song's clumsy tactics, how dare he come to ambush me? Has he lost his mind and gone insane?"

Jiang He'er and Han Ji didn't participate in the surprise attack, but just watched from a high place.

"This is a deliberate ambush by Zhao Song."

Han Ji judged the other party's background.

"From now on, Zhao Song and even Xijiang are our mortal enemies."

It stands to reason that Jiang He'er, who loves to be lively on weekdays, should have been chattering non-stop, but today she was exceptionally quiet.

Han Ji glanced at her curiously, "What is He'er thinking?"

Jiang He'er sighed, "Don't they know that Mr. Lang is best at ambushing opponents?"

……

Zhao Song and Sun Yan no longer had the mood to drink, they stood by the official road, Sun Yan suddenly asked: "Yang Xuan died, we two are here, tell me, will anyone guess that this matter was done by the Duke? "

"Before Yang Xuan left Chang'an, he ordered his subordinates to raid Chunyu Mountain and kill people in the street!" Zhao Song grinned, "I don't want to avoid suspicion, I just want to let the world know that the murderer is Zhao Song!"

Da da da!
The sound of hoofbeats was rapid.

"coming!"

Sun Yan was excited, "I hope it's good news!"

"Certainly."

Zhao Song said confidently.

Yiqi appeared in sight, and then charged straight over.

"how?"

Sun Yan asked.

The visitor rolled off the horse and threw himself on the ground, crying.

"We were ambushed by Yang Xuan and defeated!"
