The sharp edge and the blade collided in the air without any fancy, making a loud sound that pierced the eardrums.
Feeling his body being bent down, Yang Anxuan's heart trembled, Cen Minghu was so strong.
The knife bounced up from the horse's claw. Cen Minghu felt as if it had been hit on wet cowhide, astringent and slippery. The knife shaft in his hand was trembling, and the palm of his hand felt like needles.
After testing each other, both of them knew that their opponent was extraordinary and neither of them dared to underestimate their opponent.
The two horses walked side by side, and Cen Ming's tiger sword set off a violent wave, rushing towards Yang Anxuan like a raging wave. Yang Anxuan shook his horse's shaft, either clicking, collapsing, pushing or blocking, blocking Cen Minghu's attack in front of him.
The sword was like a violent wave, the blade was like a rock, and the brilliance was like broken waves, dazzling everyone who saw it.
When Cen Minghu's battle reached a fever pitch, he stood slightly on tiptoe on his horse. The sword in his hand was like a strong wind sweeping fallen leaves. Each sword was as strong as a sword. It screamed loudly, causing dust to fly, and it was full of power.
The horse is like a dragon rolling in the huge waves, drawing mysterious arcs and playing in the strong wind and waves. The sound of the collision is as dense as gongs and drums, which is breathtaking.
Everyone watching the battle held their breath and stretched their necks to watch the two balls of light flying. Those standing at the front seemed to be able to feel the strong wind blowing against their faces.
Cen Minghu became a little anxious. He had already fought for a long time, but Yang Anxuan had no flaws. Every time he hit his palm, he felt like needles pricking him. The tingling sensation gradually extended along the palm to his wrist.
With a wild roar, Cen Minghu decided to strike with all his strength.
The three-pointed, two-edged sword in his hand was slashed out like a big sword. Horsepower, manpower, and sword power merged into one line, and he slashed towards Yang Anxuan with a determined aura.
The blade tore through the air, increasing its speed to the extreme, making a sharp crackling sound.
Yang Anxuan's eyes were clear, and he felt the swiftness of the sword when it struck. The three-pointed blade with the longest edge was the strongest point.
The strongest point will also be the weakest point. As long as you hold the tip of the attacking blade, the changes in the blade will be paused, and you can use the momentary pause to counterattack.
The true energy was concentrated in the body, and the horse shot out like an arrow, hitting the middle edge of the three-pointed two-edged sword without missing a beat.
The powerful force surged in, and his body arched slightly due to exertion. Yang Anxuan exhaled his true energy and held the knife in place.
The old strength has been exhausted, the new strength has not been born, and the moves are old, Cen Minghu secretly said that it is not good. Immediately twist the knife bar, trying to lock the sharp edge with the sharp edge to gain a chance.
As soon as his wrist moved, his body was bent into an arc due to the force of the rebound, bypassing the blade, as if penetrating the void and hitting Cen Minghu's left rib.
Cen Minghu withdrew his sword and collapsed, but the horse was as light as a feather and without any force, he took advantage of the momentum and swung it towards the horse's head.
Cen Minghu knocked the horse's belly with his left leg, and the horse dodged to the right.
However, Zhang Feng was as quick as lightning and stabbed his left shoulder.
Cen Minghu leaned back as hard as he could, and the knife in his hand danced with a ball of brilliance, trying to block the horse outside.
Ma Shan spit out a message like a poisonous snake, breaking through the sword light quickly and accurately, biting the leather armor on Cen Minghu's left shoulder.
Yang Anxuan didn't use any force, he just hung on the leather armor and pulled it down. Cen Minghu fell from the horse, and the leather armor was torn by the sharp edge.
"Ah", the exclamations were like thunder, and Yang Anxuan reined in his horse.
Yang Anyuan urged the horse to gallop, jumped off the horse when he came near, stretched out his hand to pull up Cen Minghu, and asked with concern: "Minghu, are you not injured?"
Cen Minghu glanced at the damaged leather armor on his left shoulder, shook his head bitterly, and remained silent.
"Victory and defeat are common matters for soldiers. Don't worry about Minghu. Let's go." Yang Anyuan and Cen Minghu got on their horses and led their men to leave in a hurry without saying much.
Yang Anxuan raised his horse, made two false blows in the direction Yang Anyuan left, and shouted loudly: "Who can compete with me!"
"The military lord is invincible" and "the military lord is invincible" cheered like waves.
…………
After Zhao Ying learned that Dafu Mountain had been defeated and Zhang Hua was dead, he led 400 soldiers directly to Longpao Mountain, his original lair.
After Yang Anyuan received the news, he broke out of the camp and rushed to Longpao Mountain. Even if he lost some soldiers and horses, he still wanted to eat the remaining meat.
Yang Anxuan didn't plan to join in the fun, maybe he would be disliked for his kindness in helping.
May will enter May in two days, and it's time to return to Jiyang City.
Magistrate Guo shamelessly came to work for the army again, and sent out a total of twenty pigs. The soldiers had meat to eat every day, and there were still twelve pigs in the kitchen stalls.
For Zhu's sake, Zhao Tian and Yang Anxuan discussed keeping 200 prisoners, and Tian Dahe was among those left behind.
During the days he was imprisoned in the camp, Tian Dahe was in fear, always looking out at the soldiers passing by, trying to find Xu Xiaozhong and Wang Quanyi to say a few good words for him, but in the end he received a few more whips.
Dahe was very happy when he heard that he could stay in Pingshi City. He was extremely afraid of Yang Anxuan. The arrow on Blind Sun's throat was shot by Yang Anxuan.
When he closed his eyes, Blind Sun's frightened and resentful expression would appear in his mind, waking him up from nightmares countless times. He finally got rid of Yang Anxuan's control and was able to sleep peacefully at night.
Xu Xiaozhong sighed secretly as he watched Tian Dahe being tied up with ropes, and a group of ten people being escorted back to the county by the Pingshi City government officials.
He had already heard that Magistrate Guo wanted to cut off the toes of these prisoners and force them to work in the fields. This smart fellow countryman had to suffer such an end at his own peril.
The road is at your feet, and everyone walks differently. Xu Xiaozhong left Tian Dahe behind.
Yang Junhou said that he had made great achievements this time and was promoted to at least two levels in terms of merit. Xu Xiaozhong couldn't help but grin.
…………
On May 6th, in the east of Jiyang City, the farmland on both sides of the official road was green with millet seedlings. Farmers were working in the fields, and the mood of spring was pleasant.
A long team came from afar, and the farmers looked at the army curiously, pointing and talking about the prisoners escorted in the team.
Yang Siping came to greet him, and the army first returned to the camp in the west of the city. Then Zhao Tian and Yang Anxuan followed Yang Siping to the government office to meet Yang Quanqi.
Yang Quanqi received a report from Zhao Tian in advance and knew that this time he sent troops to suppress the bandits, destroying the bandit nest in Dafu Mountain and wiping out more than a thousand bandits. Only a small number of bandits were left and fled to Longpao Mountain. Yang Anyuan was still leading the elimination.
After seeing the battle report, Yang Quanqi was very satisfied. There were only dozens of casualties, which was completely beyond his expectation.
You must know that this is a new army that has only been trained for three months, and its results are comparable to those of the clan army under its command.
After a few words of encouragement, Zhao Tian and others were asked to go back to rest and ask for credit for them together after the war on Yang Anyuan's side was over.
As for the more than 400 prisoners who were escorted, they were handed over to Yang Zijing for disposal.
After the beginning of spring, the refugees returned to their hometowns to farm, and projects such as leveling official roads and building water conservancy projects came to a halt, and these more than 400 people were put to good use.
Asking Yang Anxuan to follow him to the inner hall, Yang Quanqi said with a smile on his face: "Xuan'er, Mr. Yin sent someone to deliver a letter five days ago. The candidate for Zhongzheng of Xinye County has been confirmed to be Yin Youqi."
Yang Anxuan smiled broadly. Although he was not particularly enthusiastic about the matter of getting a high-quality product, people cannot exist in isolation from the general environment. Being designated as a high-quality product is a good thing for him and the family. It means a higher starting point in the future and it will be easier to gain power.
Troubled times are coming, and he is already far behind Huan Xuan, Liu Yu and others. Only by catching up can he be qualified to participate in the competition.
Four hundred new troops is a small step, and being high-grade is another step. If you don't accumulate small steps, you won't be able to reach a thousand miles.
"My child will go to Yinjiabao to visit tomorrow." Yang Anxuan said with a smile.
Yang Quanqi was very pleased that An Xuan was revealed. He stroked his beard and said: "This time in Dafu Mountain, thousands of thieves were wiped out, which is a great contribution. As a father, I will ask the Governor Xi to take credit for you. Yin Ji killed the thief Zhang Hua." , he can be promoted to a military prince based on his merits. You go to the Yin Family Fort with him tomorrow, and tell Mr. Yin your father's wishes by the way."
…………
At the Yin Family Fort, Yang Anxuan brought Yang Qiu to pay homage to Mr. Yin and presented him with the gifts he had brought.
Yin Xi exchanged a few words with Yang Anxuan, telling Yin Dun to welcome her and let the young people go and play. Someone led Yang Qiu to find Yin Huizhen without mentioning it.
In May, Yinjiazhuang is full of flowers, greenery and full of vitality.
Yang Anxuan proposed to take a look at the location of Qingzhu Floating Pond. He calculated that it was almost a hundred days.
Along the stream to the east, the breeze blows from the forest, the sound of water is gurgling, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, which makes you feel relaxed and happy.
Yang Anxuan and Yin Ji, who had just returned from the battlefield, felt extremely refreshed by the way of civil and military affairs.
After returning home to see his grandfather, Yin Ji followed his eldest brother and Yang Anxuan. Yang Anxuan defeated Cen Minghu with force outside Pingshi City. Yin Ji was convinced of Yang Anxuan and showed great respect to him.
This made Yin Dun secretly surprised. His second brother, who had an unruly temperament, seemed to be a different person since he entered the military camp. He used to complain a lot about Yang Anxuan, but now he seems to be very respectful.
With the improved mulberry root paper as the base, the Yin family was confident in Yang Anxuan's method of making paper from bamboo, and dug dozens of acres of ponds downstream of the stream. According to Yang Anxuan's words, the ponds were soaked with new bamboo, and the bamboos were Cut into lengths of five to seven feet.
Yin Dun pointed at the bamboo in the pond and said: "In another half month, I can see the bamboo paper that An Xuan mentioned. I am really looking forward to it. An Xuan, you have been away from Jiyang for the past half month. "Little Window Quiet Sentences" But it’s broken. People come to the book shop every day to inquire about new works. You have to write at least seven or eight sentences today before I let you go back."
Yang Anxuan said with a smile: "It's hard to get half a day's free time, but you are asking for debts. It's hard to have peace and quiet."
Yin Dun's eyes lit up and he said: "What a 'steal half a day's leisure'. If I can make up for it, I can count it as a sentence."
The three of them chatted and laughed, and heard crisp laughter as they passed by a mulberry forest. Yin Huizhen and Qiu'er were picking mulberries.
The laughter is like the singing of orioles, melodious among the blue sky and green leaves.
Yang An secretly sighed, as Yinyouqi became the Zhongzheng of Xinye County, the day when this canary was imprisoned was getting closer.
Intrigued by Yang Anxuan's words about "stealing half a day's leisure", Yin Dun forced Yang Anxuan to come to the waterside pavilion and ordered someone to prepare a few records and write a few "waterside pavilion quiet words" while staring at Yang Anxuan.
Looking at the scenery around the waterside pavilion, Yin Dun smiled and said: "An Xuan needs to put some thought into it. This place will definitely be named after you in the future. Scholars and scholars will continue to visit you, and it will be a good story."
Yin Ji was not interested in dancing and writing, so he said goodbye and left.
Yin Dun laid out paper and studied ink himself, so Yang Anxuan had to sit down and write down a few words that fit the situation: "Yellow birds are affectionate and often attract drunken guests in their dreams; white clouds are lazy and come to secluded places to charm people", " During the day, when people are idle, one can listen to the melodious chirping of birds, and one’s ears are not aware of it. At night, when the sky is still and the sky is high, one can see a cloud of light curling up, and one’s vision suddenly becomes empty.”…
Yin Dun felt like he had found a treasure. Every time he finished writing a piece, he would hold it in his hand to preview it, shaking his head and chanting, looking intoxicated.
A servant led Gongsunhe to arrive, and Yang Anxuan stood up to greet him. Yin Dun smiled and said: "In a few days, brother Gongsun will become my sister-in-law."
Yang Anxuan quickly congratulated. He heard Gao Guang mention this matter. It seemed that the Yin friends had become the county magistrates. This poor official finally bowed to reality and wanted to use the power of the Yin family to get promoted.
…………
Three days later, Yang Anyuan returned with his army and suppressed the bandits in Longpao Mountain. He killed a hundred thieves and captured two hundred. Zhao Ying and the remaining bandits, less than a hundred of them, fled north and were no longer in trouble.
Yang Quanqi asked Xi Hui, the governor of Yongzhou, for his victory and asked for rewards and rewards for his soldiers.
Xi Hui was overjoyed after receiving the victory document. The war between the two Yans was intensifying. Murong Yong's troops were retreating steadily. Once defeated, Yongzhou would have to face Murong Chui's 100,000 cavalry.
Yang Quanqi had only been in Xinye for half a year, but he had already trained nearly a thousand strong soldiers. It seemed that his decision to recommend him as the governor of Xinye was really a wise one.
With a stroke of his pen, Yang Quanqi's request in the document was approved, and Cen Minghu and Yin Ji officially became military princes.
Others were promoted or rewarded, but when he saw Yang Anxuan's request for promotion to Sima, Xi Hui put down his pen, stood up, twirled his beard and thought for a moment.
He had a very good impression of this young man Xi Hui, and even in his eyes, none of Wang Xie's children could compare with him. Recently, "Little Window Quiet Sentences" was his favorite on the desk, and together with Yang Jiali, which he had presented earlier, Yang Anxuan could be called "genius" "Excellent", why don't you support such a beautiful person?
Returning to the banquet, Xi Hui wrote: Yang Anxuan is talented in both civil and military affairs, and is outstanding in the arts. He is a sincere and valuable resource for the country. He can be temporarily promoted to lieutenant colonel in the army. He will be conferred an official position by the Ministry of Civil Affairs after his qualifications are determined.
Along with the official document, a reward of 120,000 yuan and 2,600 shi of corn were issued. The officers and soldiers of Xinye County were full of joy.
