On the third floor of Juhao Building, the largest restaurant in Jinyang, Yang Xuanmo listened to the young man's story. The young man's name was Jia Qu Jia Liangdao. Now he is a member of Cao Yu, the governor of Bingzhou, and a native of Xiangling, Hedong. Jia Qu's family was poor but ambitious. His family's ancestors had spoken tens of thousands of words about the art of war. Jia Qu was determined to join the army, and his grandfather said that he would be a good general.
"Brother Yang, I see that the people around me are heroes. Why don't you accept the recruitment of talents to join the new army of Bingzhou to help the governor defend Jinyang? Is it not worthy of the imperial court, but worthy of Li Shu?" Jia Qu was very confused. asked.
Yang Xuanmo smiled and said nothing, and Pei Yuanqing directly said: "The imperial court should be spared. I don't know what the big deal is, but can the imperial court be saved now? Yellow turbans, corrupt officials, ten permanent attendants, relatives, and a fool who was deceived. . Hahahahaha." Yang Xuanmo scolded Pei Yuanqing directly: "Ah Qing, be careful and don't talk nonsense. Slander the court in front of Mr. Jia, and be careful with your head when discussing national affairs." Pei Yuanqing lowered his head angrily and gnawed on the roast chicken without saying anything. .
Yang Xuanmo said to Jia Qu: "Master Jia, we are humble people and cannot deserve the praise of Master Jia. To be honest, my brother has no interest in the court, and he believes in the saying that princes and generals should rather have the talent. With the help of our crotch There is no place in the world that cannot be conquered by a weapon in the palm of a dismounted horse."
How could the fierce general Jia Qu, who had finally seen him, give up and continue: "Brother Yang, maybe with your brothers' military power, you can conquer the world. But now the invasion of the Southern Huns has reached outside Jinyang City, and the vanguard Liu Yuan's 10,000-strong army is about to besiege. Jinyang, I'm afraid you can't go there now. Why don't I recommend Brother Yang, and we won't talk nonsense about serving the country. I beg Brother Yang to help the governor defend Jinyang for the people of Jinyang." After saying this, he bowed and swept the floor. .
Yang Xuanmo raised his head and asked everyone: "Brother, Yuan Qing, Xuanba, what do you think, do you want to help the people of Jinyang?" The purple-faced king Xiong Kuohai said carelessly: "I don't care, but I can't stand the control of the court, and It doesn't matter who fights. I will kill and bury each one with an axe." Pei Yuanqing and Yang Xuanba also said: "I follow the instructions of the elder brother. I will beat whoever you say. Brother, you can make up your own mind. We can't stand it. Controlled by the imperial court.”
Jia Qu couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he looked at this group of madmen. This was the kind of person Lawless was talking about. But this group of people was very decisive in their killing. The faint murderous aura emanating from the four people made others present stay away.
Yang Xuanmo said: "Since Mr. Jia sincerely invites you, we will reluctantly help Mr. Governor defend the city. We are not used to being with the people of the imperial court, so we ask Mr. Jia to please arrange a place to stay." Jia Qu promised to invite Yang Xuanmo and his family. People came to live in Jia Qu's home.
Jia Quba told Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, about finding the fierce general, and Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, was also very happy. The recruitment list was issued to recruit 5,000 talented soldiers, which could also relieve the pressure on Jinyang.
The vanguard army of the Southern Xiongnu has arrived outside Jinyang City, and the Southern Xiongnu cavalry are rolling in like black clouds over the city. There is a saying that if there are ten thousand people, there is no limit to it; if there are one hundred thousand people, it will stretch to the sky. At the head of Jinyang City, Governor Zhang Yi led Bingzhou officials to the city to watch. Some of the officials were so frightened that their calves trembled, and one was so frightened that he peed his pants. Yang Xuanmo came with Jia Qu and saw the state of these officials. The four of them couldn't help but laugh. Jia Qu also looked embarrassed. On the contrary, Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, was very magnanimous and was in charge of the affairs of the imperial court.
Zhang Yi raised the crenel with his hand and shouted: "You Southern Xiongnu have been favored by the emperor for generations. How dare you betray your master and invade our borders and kill my people in Bingzhou." The young man in front of the Southern Xiongnu army replied: "I, the Xiongnu, are the Great Chan of the Qiang. Mr. Qu, after hearing about the Yellow Turban rebellion in the Central Plains, he specially led an army of 300,000 people to suppress the rebellion. I hope you will open the city gate and let me enter the city for an interview. How about we have an interview? "
Just as the governor Zhang Yi was about to reply, Jia Qu shouted loudly: "The rebels don't have to use sweet words to deceive the governor. If you have the guts, just attack the city and stop talking nonsense."
The leader of the Xiongnu army did not answer and ordered his men to set up camp. They had no siege equipment and were just the vanguard, so they had no intention of attacking Jinyang City directly.
There was a cry of lamentation above the city. There were only 10,000 Southern Xiongnu cavalry. If there were 300,000, wouldn't Jinyang be doomed?
Yang Xuanmo looked at the people at the top of Jinyang City and knew that these people had lived in peace for too long and were scared. It is impossible to maintain the morale of Jinyang City. Thinking of this, Yang Xuanmo stepped forward, strode to Governor Zhang Yi and loudly asked for a fight: "The common man Yang Xuanmo is willing to lead a hundred people out of the city to show the Southern Xiongnu some color. I beg you to agree."
Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, looked at the majestic young man in front of him who was wearing a helmet and a sword, with a long sword hanging at his waist. His eyebrows were divided into eight colors, his eyes were like stars, and he was eight feet tall. He said: "You are Yang Ye and Yang Xuanmo recommended by Liang Dao." Really? A hero comes from a young boy. Are you sure? Don't force yourself too much." Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, liked this young man from the bottom of his heart.
Yang Xuanmo stood up and replied: "I think the Southern Xiongnu are just trying to sell their heads. Don't worry, sir. I will only select a hundred warriors from the newly recruited warriors. It will be easy to defeat the Southern Xiongnu army."
There was a lot of discussion on the top of the city: "Is this guy stupid? He wants to leave the city if the city is not defended." Yes, there are only a hundred people. This is really like lighting a lantern in the toilet and looking for death. "In the midst of everyone's doubts, Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, agreed to Yang Xuanmo's request.
Yang Xuanmo shouted: "Pei Yuanqing beats the drums." Pei Yuanqing took the order to beat the war drums. The sound of the war drums resounded through the head of Jinyang City. After a drum beat, Yang Xuanmo came to the top of the city and said loudly: "The Southern Xiongnu are these bastards. Accepting the emperor's favor and not wanting to repay the country, you invaded our Bingzhou state and committed all kinds of crimes. As good men of Bingzhou, do you want to be the lambs to be slaughtered or defend your family and home with your own lives? It's your choice. Do you want to be a bunch of shit? You are inferior to a white-eyed wolf, a loser, a trash, or a Hun dog who chooses to fight and fuck his ass. You choose for yourself. For a quarter of an hour, I will tell you whether you choose to be a human or a dog. I need a hundred people and I can’t guarantee that each of you will be alive. , but I promise that I will be at the forefront of you." After Yang Xuanmo finished speaking, he stopped talking and no longer paid attention to the sergeants at the top of the city. He and his three brothers arranged their horses and weapons and went to the gate of the city to wait to leave the city.
On top of the city, Jia Qu stepped forward and saluted Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, and said, "Brother Yang stayed here because of me, so you can't stay out of it." He grabbed the ax of the city guard sergeant in his hand, turned around and went down the tower.
"I, Gao Aocao, am willing to fight to the death." A young strong man responded loudly.
"I, Gao Shun, will never fight to the death like a dog." A strong man from the frontier fortress responded and left, followed by another one after another.
Yang Xuanmo was neatly dressed and sitting on the big green dragon. He was surrounded by Pei Yuanqing, Yang Xuanba, the purple-faced king Xiong Kuohai, Jia Qu, Gao Aocao, Gao Shun and a hundred other riders following behind him. The gate of Jinyang City slowly opened, and Yang Xuanmo shouted: "Kill the Hugo!" He took the lead and ran straight towards the 10,000-strong cavalry of the Southern Huns. Pei Yuanqing was on the left, Yang Xuanba was on the right, followed closely by the purple-faced king Xiongkuohai, Jia Qu and others killed the enemy without hesitation. Yang Xuanmo quickly told Pei Yuanqing that he must protect Jia Qu. Pei Yuanqing accepted the order, and the purple-faced king Xiong Kuohai took Pei Yuanqing's place.
Three men and three horses rushed to the Xiongnu team like sharp arrows in an instant. The Southern Xiongnu originally wanted to set up camp, but unexpectedly a group of people came out of the city. Yufuluo's son Liu Yuan looked at it with disdain: "Dalu led A team of a thousand men will deal with the invading enemy." A big man next to Liu Yuan responded, (
