Yang family, in the study.
Yang Shanlong is not painting, but now he is admiring a picture of a horse.
This is a painting by Zhou Qianyuan, a master of the Xia Kingdom.
Zhou Qianyuan is good at painting horses, and the horses in his paintings are vivid. A majestic and unruly war horse seems to jump out of the paper. This picture of a horse was bought by Yang Shanlong at a cost of three thousand taels of silver. It was expensive.
It is true that Yang Shanlong cherishes it very much.
When Yang Shanlong looked at the horse picture, he could also use it to ponder Zhou Qianyuan's style, and he could gain some understanding.
While Yang Shanlong was looking at the picture of a horse, there was a rush of footsteps.
Yang Jingchan is here again.
The look on Yang Jingchan's face was a little serious, and he said solemnly: "Father, the people who were watching Lin Feng just sent back the news that Lin Feng has left the garrison camp. It's just that what Lin Feng and Meng Ao talked about in the army is temporarily unknown. I know. How should we deal with it now? Is it possible that we should continue to wait and wait until Lin Feng leaves Guzang County before arranging for someone to take action? "
"Of course I'm waiting!"
Yang Shanlong answered without thinking.
He looked solemn and said: "Many times, you have no chance or opportunity to break the situation, so waiting is the best way. Because, as time goes by, the right time will always appear, allowing you to complete the task. "
"In this life, people will encounter many things and many difficulties."
"No matter how difficult things are, there is always a solution. If you can't solve it, time will help you solve it. Therefore, waiting is not a bad thing, because waiting will not make the situation worse, but will allow you to think and observe quietly. .”
Yang Shanlong said: "To counterattack while waiting, in the Central Plains people's terms, it is to wait for the opportunity to act. This is also a kind of art of war."
Yang Jingchan complimented: "After hearing what his father said, my son suddenly felt that his mind had broadened a lot, and he seemed to have some enlightenment."
"Hahaha……"
Yang Shanlong chuckled.
An old face was full of pride.
People, don't just want the flattery and flattery of these three or two sentences, especially the flattery of their own sons.
At this moment, another steward came in and reported: "Master of the house, Yang Shao wants to see you."
"please!"
Yang Shanlong gave an order.
When the housekeeper went to inform, Yang Shanlong looked at Yang Jingchan and said with a smile: "Yang Shao is the county magistrate of Guzang County, and he is also our Yang family's spy in Guzang County. He took the initiative to report the news, and there must be some results. Look, This is an opportunity, you don’t have to rush to take action, there will always be an opportunity.”
Yang Jingchan said: "Son, remember this."
He was also looking forward to it.
In front of him, Lin Feng acted arrogantly and even threatened. Yang Jingchan was extremely dissatisfied with such a person and wanted to make Lin Feng regret it.
Now that Yang Shao is here, there may be good news.
Yang Jingchan couldn't get it.
Not long after, Yang Shao entered the study. When he saw Yang Shanlong, he said respectfully: "Yang Shao, meet the clan leader."
Yang Shao served as county magistrate in Guzang County and was the second-in-command in Guzang County. But his official position was run by Yang Shanlong. Without Yang Shanlong's support, he would not be able to serve as county magistrate. Returning to the Yang family, he called Yang Shanlong the patriarch.
Yang Shao looked at Yang Jingchan again and said respectfully: "Second Young Master."
Yang Jingchan nodded.
Yang Shanlong took the words and asked, "What do you want to do when you come today?"
Yang Shao quickly said: "Report to the clan leader. After Lin Feng returned to the county government, he said that he went to the Daqin military camp outside the city, met with Meng Ao, and obtained Meng Ao's support. Then Lin Feng said that Guzang County The Qiang people wantonly robbed the people and must be wiped out."
"Lin Feng has convinced Meng Ao and will leave the city in person in two days. Together with Meng Ao, he will lead an army of 30,000 to the Qiang tribe to annihilate the Qiang tribe in Guzang County and seek justice for the people of Qin."
Yang Shao had a flattering smile on his face and said, "Chief, this is the news I want to report."
There was a thoughtful look in Yang Shanlong's eyes, and he said slowly: "Lin Feng said before that he would not let the Yang family cover the sky with one hand. Now, he went directly to attack the Qiang tribe where Yao Xing is located. What does this mean?"
Yang Shao said quickly: "Chief, I thought about it carefully on the way to see you. I believe that Lin Feng's plan is that the Qiang people are weaker and easier to destroy. At the same time, the Qiang people are also the arms of the clan leader."
"On the one hand, he wiped out the Qiang people in Guzang County, and he could use this to establish his authority. On the other hand, after he wiped out the Qiang tribe, he also cut off the arm of the clan leader. This situation is probably Lin Feng's intention."
"Even thinking about it further, after Lin Feng captured the Qiang people, I am afraid that the next step will be to deal with the Di tribe."
"After all the Qiang and Di people were wiped out, the Yang family was left alone, unable to compete with the imperial army and Lin Feng. The Yang family had always abided by the law, and Lin Feng could not find a chance. He We can only take action against the Qiang people.”
Yang Shao analyzed: "Meng Ao is a man who dislikes the Qiang and Di people, so the two sides hit it off and came up with such an arrangement."
"That's true."
Yang Shanlong quickly analyzed it, and with an expression of approval, he echoed: "Lin Feng has no choice but to deal with the Yang family and establish his authority against the Qiang people."
Yang Jingchan said: "Father, what should we do?"
Yang Shanlong looked at Yang Shao and asked, "Yang Shao, if you were asked to handle this matter, how would you handle it?"
Yang Shao pondered for a moment and replied: "Report to the clan leader, if you let me make arrangements, I will definitely transfer the troops of the Di tribe to the Qiang tribe and gather the troops of the Di and Qiang people together. There are Yao Xing and Pu With the combined forces of Hong, there will be no big difficulty in defeating Meng'ao."
Upon hearing this, Yang Jingchan's eyes lit up and he agreed: "Father, Yang Shao's suggestion is excellent. The strength of the Qiang and Di people is not weak. If they cooperate, this matter will naturally be much simpler."
Yang Shanlong stroked his beard under his chin, shook his head, and asked: "You are all in your thirties, don't you know about the Shaodang Qiang Rebellion twelve years ago?"
Yang Jingchan looked confused, obviously unaware.
Yang Shao also shook his head.
Yang Shanlong scolded: "As a person who lives in Weiwu County, Liangzhou, you don't know this matter. Don't you know how to read more? The place where Shaodang Qiang gathers is not in our Weiwu County, but in Zhangye County further west."
"More than ten years ago, the Shaodang Qiang gathered together and became more and more powerful. These people actually had ambitions to separate themselves from the Qin Dynasty and establish themselves as kings. At that time, the Shaodang Qiang were so numerous that they numbered more than 100,000. Everyone."
"At that time, Meng Ao was still young and his reputation was not very prominent. However, he led 30,000 elite troops directly into Zhangye County. With 30,000 troops, he fought against more than 100,000 Shaodang Qiang. After the battle, Meng Ao More than 76,000 Shaodang Qiang people were massacred, and the remaining 20,000 Shaodang Qiang people who survived were all captured and used as slaves."
"Although Meng Ao is silent and silent, he is extremely powerful. He is a vicious dog, extremely ferocious. Meng Ao just doesn't open his mouth. Once he opens his mouth, he will bite people."
"The proposal you just made is just to mobilize the troops of the Di people. It is far from enough."
"The strength of the Qiang and Di people in Guzang County is only more than 20,000 elites each, and a total of 40,000 to 50,000 elites. With such a force, it is wishful thinking to block the Meng'ao army. It is said that a lion fights a rabbit. Also use all your strength, if you want to take action this time, use all your strength."
"In this battle, all the more than 30,000 slave soldiers of my Yang family will be sent to the Qiang tribe."
"Lin Feng wants to fight, I will accompany him to the end."
"When the time comes, we will kill Lin Feng, defeat the Meng'ao army, and then let the Qiang people file a petition to the court to redress their grievances, saying that the Qiang people were massacred for no reason and had no choice but to resist. We, the Yang family, will get out directly. If we want to kill, we will go all out. Can’t hold back.”
Yang Shanlong's face was full of murderous intent.
A breathtaking momentum spread from Yang Shanlong's body. He was in charge of the Yang family, and he didn't get to the position just by painting, but by actually killing him.
Yang Jingchan said: "My father is wise."
After hearing this, Yang Shao thought for a while, looking like he suddenly realized it, and praised: "Wonderful, it is really exquisite. This plan of the clan leader is really brilliant."
Yang Shanlong said: "Yang Shao, go back to the county office immediately and continue to stare at Lin Feng."
"Here!"
Yang Shao bowed in agreement, turned around and walked out.
When Yang Shao was about to reach the door, Yang Shanlong's voice suddenly came from behind him: "Wait a minute."
Yang Shao turned around and said, "What other instructions does the clan leader have?"
Yang Shanlong said: "As long as Lin Feng can be eliminated this time, I promise to make you the county magistrate of Guzang County."
"Thank you, Patriarch Long."
Yang Shao suddenly became excited.
Magistrate of Guzang County!
Once he becomes the magistrate of Guzang County, he still has to listen to the Yang family and cooperate with the Yang family. The problem is, his official position is different. The branch he belongs to has never been the same since then. Especially after his voice increases, the benefits he can get are also different.
Yang Shao happily stepped back, his whole body full of energy.
Yang Shanlong's eyes turned and fell on Yang Jingchan, and he said solemnly: "Yang Jingchan and Yang Shao can think of it, but you don't use your brain."
Yang Jingchan said: "Father's lesson is correct."
Yang Shanlong looked at the old-fashioned Yang Jingchan and shook his head. His son is extremely naughty and has some abilities, especially business talent. However, it is a little clever.
When it comes to structure and mind, it can't compare to talent in business.
Yang Shanlong said: "Go to the Qiang tribe in person and inform Yao Xing to prepare for a battle. All the troops of my Yang family will gather in the Qiang tribe within two days to hide. At the same time, I will also make arrangements. Pu Hong was notified and asked to lead troops to respond. The army gathered in the Qiang tribe, waiting for the Meng'ao army to arrive."
"Son, I obey."
Yang Jingchan agreed immediately, then turned and left.
Yang Jingchan left the Yang family and went directly out of the city to the west of Guzang County.
The Qiang tribe is located more than thirty miles west of Guzang County. The area is open and is a place where many Qiang people gather.
There are some undulating mountains nearby, but they are not too high.
As soon as Yang Jingchan arrived at the Qiang tribe, because he often traveled to the Qiang tribe for business, the people here were familiar with Yang Jingchan and did not stop him. They allowed Yang Jingchan to enter the center of the Qiang tribe and outside the camp of the Qiang leader.
Today, the Qiang people mainly live in gatherings.
Sometimes they still have to migrate, so most of them live in tents, and only a few choose houses.
Yao Xing, the leader of the Qiang tribe, also lives in a tent.
He married the second daughter of Yang Shanlong. With the support of the Yang family, Yao Xing, from the head of a small tribe, brought together some Qiang people in Guzang County and even Weiwu County, and achieved the current scale of tens of thousands. Qiang people gather here.
The elite Qiang soldiers under Yao Xing's command were more than 25,000.
Yao Xing's own prestige is increasing day by day.
As soon as Yang Jingchan arrived, Yao Xing got the news and immediately stood up to greet him.
He didn't respect Yang Jingchan, but because Yang Jingchan represented Yang Shanlong. Yao Xing personally greeted Yang Jingchan at the entrance of the camp. When Yang Jingchan arrived, he immediately stepped forward, took Yang Jingchan's hand, and said with a smile: "Second brother, please come quickly."
"Brother please!"
Yang Jingchan answered with a smile.
Yao Xing and Yang Jingchan entered the big tent together.
At this time, Yao Xing asked with a smile on his face: "What is the reason why my father-in-law sent you to the Qiang tribe?"
Yang Jingchan said solemnly: "There is indeed something wrong. The newly appointed magistrate of Guzang County wants to attack the Qiang tribe."
"Hahaha……"
Yao Xing laughed, looking unconcerned, and said: "It's just a county magistrate, but his orders can't go out of the county government. What can I do? It's impossible to operate on me. What's more, the Yang family is in the aunt Zang County is the biggest. With people from the Yang family here, what does a newly appointed magistrate of Guzang County mean?"
Yang Jingchan said: "This time the situation is different."
Yao Xing said: "What's the difference?"
Yang Jingchan said: "The name of the person who came is Lin Feng. He is a marquis of Zhenguo named by the emperor, and he also serves as the censor Zhongcheng. He is also a master at the master level. Dong Pan, who is worshiped by my Yang family, was defeated by Lin Feng, and even more so by Lin Feng." He was beaten until he vomited blood."
After a pause, Yang Jingchan continued: "In addition, Lin Feng persuaded Meng Ao, the garrison general in Guzang County. Two days later, Lin Feng and Meng Ao led an army of 30,000 to attack the Qiang tribe to completely destroy the army you command. Qiang tribe. Lin Feng’s intention is to take this opportunity to establish his power and weaken the power of our Yang family.”
Yao Xing's face darkened.
Grandmaster!
Marquis of Zhenguo!
Or the censor Zhongcheng!
A series of titles all revealed that Lin Feng was not simple, and all revealed that Lin Feng was extraordinary.
Under such premise, Yao Xing must also be cautious.
The key is that Men'ao is difficult to deal with.
Yao Xing calmed down and said: "Second brother, since my father-in-law arranged for you to come, there must be a strategy to deal with it. How to deal with it this time?"
Yang Jingchan said: "The arrangement this time is actually simple. My father will mobilize more than 30,000 elite slave soldiers from the Yang family to lurk near the Qiang tribe. At the same time, my father has arranged for someone to notify brother Pu Hong of the Di tribe and ask him to mobilize More than 20,000 troops from the Di tribe are coming."
"The 30,000 garrison led by Meng Ao is the elite among the elite. If there are only 30,000 to 40,000 people, or even 40,000 to 50,000 people, it is impossible to stop them. Especially this time, we must take the opportunity to destroy Lin Feng. We must destroy To defeat Meng'ao's army, we must gather the forces of the three parties."
"Even if the court wants to hold people accountable after this war, the cause of the matter is because Lin Feng acted boldly and slandered the Qiang tribe. At the same time, the local garrison was mobilized wantonly. The Qiang people are not to blame for this situation."
"So now, let's fight against Men'ao."
Yang Jingchan said: "This is the general situation. Brother Yao, do you understand?"
After hearing this, Yao Xing's eyes sparkled and he said sternly: "My father-in-law has a high prestige in Weiwu County. However, the court arranged for Wang Yue to be the county guard, and also arranged for a county magistrate to disturb the matter. It is simply abominable. This time, Let’s get rid of them completely. I support this arrangement.”
Yang Jingchan smiled and said, "That's good, we just need to wait for news from Lin Feng."
Yao Xing smiled and said: "It's rare for my second brother to come here, so I immediately asked someone to prepare drinks and have a good drink."
"Sorry for bothering you, brother."
Yang Jingchan had a smile on his face.
Yao Xing had good wine here, and there were enchanting Qiang women waiting on him, so he was happy to stay.
While Yao Xing and Yang Jing were having fun, time passed. The next day, the troops of the Yang family and the Di people had quietly gathered near the Qiang tribe.
This situation was also discovered by the people Cui Yuantu arranged to follow, and they quickly passed the news back.
