Chapter 132 The Return of Yang Zongfeng
Mu Guiying used '3,000 miscellaneous soldiers' to scare off the southern army, relieve the siege of Liuzhou, and rescued Yang Zongbao, the rebel marshal.
The news came back to Bianliang City and immediately enlivened the dull court. Zhao Heng's face, which had not seen a smile for many days, finally welcomed spring. Mrs. She and the female generals of the Yang family knew the whereabouts of Yang Zongfeng and Yang Zongying and cried with joy. As for Ding Yu, although he breathed a sigh of relief in front of Zhao Heng, he made contributions to the Yang family and added a little hatred.
What happened in Bianliang City is naturally unknown to Mu Guiying and Yang Zongbao in Liuzhou. The two were full of warmth because they had just met; and because Jiang De and He Qing took more than 2,000 people to Liuzhou safely, they were even more happy.
It turned out that Mu Guiying asked Jiang De and He Qing to pretend to chase the army of the South. In terms of speed, it was close and far, so that the commander of the Southern Kingdom could not figure out the truth, so he did not turn back and kept returning to Yizhou. Jiang De and He Qing stopped at the border between Yizhou and Liuzhou and planted Mu Guiying's "handsome" flag in that small city.
I don't know whether it is the role of this flag or what the commander of the Southern Army has. In a word, Jiang De and He Qing stayed in the small town at the border for a day and didn't see them attack, so they took people back to Liuzhou.
Yang Zongbao has some relatives and is very intimate with He Qing. On the way south, Jiang De has put down his heart and is like a brother to Yang Zongbao. Yang Zongbao also rewarded his favor and selectively forgot something.
Before the rebel army returned to Liuzhou, Yang Wenguang also came here under the protection of Yang Paifeng. With family reunion and friends beside him, Yang Zongbao's face became more and more smiles. This made Mu Guiying very happy and finally saw Yang Zongbao before going south.
However, what made Yang Zongbao happier was that Yang Zongfeng also returned with the rebels a few days later. That night, in Yang Zongbao's handsome mansion, everyone gathered together, and the atmosphere was not warm.
Although Yang Zongying wanted to command Chai Xun to lend Yang Zongbao's soldiers, he would not arrive at the border later to wait for orders. But the peace of Yang Zongfeng and Yang Zongying made Yang Zongbao drink for the first time after going south. Yang Bamei and Yang Jiumei were both emotional and melancholy when they learned what happened when they left Tianbo Mansion.
After three rounds of drinking, the topic of the people naturally shifted to the southern country. Speaking of the southern country, Yang Zongfeng, who was a little drunk, immediately woke up a lot and said mysteriously, "Tell you, Zong Ying and I went to Yunnan this time. From King Liang, we got some information about Emperor Jingren of the Southern Kingdom.
"Oh?" Yang Zongfeng's words immediately woke up half of Yang Zongbao and others. Yue Sheng, who once escaped from death in the hands of the southern army, was even more full of hatred for Emperor Jingren. Yang Bamei and Yang Jiumei were the same, urging Yang Zongfeng to speak quickly.
Yang Zongfeng saw that everyone's eyes were very scary, and his heart suddenly broke out and hurriedly said, "Actually, Emperor Jingren is a mountain thief..."
"What?!" Yue Sheng was deeply aware of the damage of the southern army and did not believe what Yang Zongfeng said. Therefore, without waiting for Yang Zongfeng to continue talking, he said angrily, "This is impossible. Although I, Yue Sheng, am not a victim like Liulang, I can't even beat the mountain thieves.
"Uncle Yue, don't worry, Zong Feng hasn't finished yet." Yang Zongfeng saw that Yue Sheng was anxious, and then remembered that his two uncles also died in the hands of this 'mountain thief'. He got up quickly, accompanied Yue Sheng, and looked at Yang Bamei and Yang Jiumei with guilt.
Yang Bamei and Yang Jiumei knew that Yang Zongfeng was 'unintentional'. Although they were a little sad, they did not blame their nephew. Instead, they smiled and let Yang Zongfeng not care too much about it.
Mu Guiying saw this and immediately said, "Don't talk about it. It will be mysterious. You don't want to get out of this room safely."
"Yes, yes, my sister-in-law is very true." Yang Zongfeng nodded repeatedly and sat back to his original position while talking about the news he had learned from Chai Xun.
By the saying, the Zhao Dynasty has not been very ordinary since its establishment. Therefore, in the world of the Song Dynasty, there are not too many cottages, large and small. Especially the one that is too far away from Bianliang City, the so-called Tiangao Emperor. Take Guangnan West Road as an example, because in the most difficult part of the Song Dynasty, from Emperor Taizu to Zhao Heng, there is still time to rectify, so the cottage in the area of Guangnan West Road is the most common place in the Song Dynasty.
There is such a cottage at the junction of Yongzhou and Jiaozhi Country on Guangnan West Road in the Song Dynasty. The mountain thieves in this cottage occupy this geographical advantage and make a living by robbing merchants and passers-by from the two countries. That is to say, most of the mountain thieves in this cottage are extremely vicious people. And Feng Tong, the owner of this cottage, is even more evil among the wicked.
This Feng Tong was originally the chief bodyguard of King Liang's Mansion in Yunnan, but he was expelled from Yunnan because he was sued in front of Chai Xun because of King Liang's famous fish and meat village. Feng Nan's own martial arts skills are good, and his intelligence is relatively important, or he can't be the chief bodyguard. But because he has been blessed for many years, he is used to getting something for nothing. Thinking that he could not return to Yunnan, he came to a mountain on the border between Yongzhou and Jiaozhi, built a cottage and became a 'mountain king'.
However, Feng Tong has been in the royal palace for a long time and has some ambitions. Although Chai Xun was only a prince, he was like an emperor in Yunnan, and no one in the Song Dynasty was in charge of him. This makes Feng Tong very envious and wants to be a person like Chai Xun. Coincidentally, there was civil strife in Jiaozhi, and Feng Tong felt that his opportunity had come.
Feng Tong, who always paid attention to the chaos in Jiaozhi, and extended a helping hand to the defeated Jiaozhi army when he found that the failed party had no way to escape. Feng Tong expressed his willingness to help them and give them a place to settle down. However, they must take Feng Tong as the master and become his subordinates.
I didn't expect that the leader of this army would be blessed and not an incompetent person. In Jiaozhi, he only led to his failure due to the unfavorable timing. Therefore, he doesn't want to succumb to others. In this way, Xin Chengfu and his army became a little embarrassed in Feng Tong's cottage.
As for what kind of agreement Feng Tong and Xin Chengfu reached in the end, outsiders naturally don't know. Anyway, after Xin Chengfu lived in the cottage for a month, Feng Tong established the southern country and proclaimed himself Emperor Jingren, while Xin Chengfu was awarded the title of marshal of the southern country.
Originally, Feng Tong also wanted to wait until the time was ripe before making a plan. But I didn't expect that Zhizhou of Yizhou happened to return to Yongzhou to celebrate his father's birthday. Because of doubt, he sent someone to the cottage to investigate. Feng Tong was still a little afraid of the Song Dynasty, which still came from Liang Wang Chaixun. Chai Xun is the prince of the previous dynasty, but now he can only stay in this corner of Yunnan without any resistance. Feng Tong thought that Chai Xun was afraid of the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty was very harmful. Contrary to expectations, the establishment of the Southern Kingdom was discovered by officials of the Song Dynasty. Feng Tong could only take action in advance and occupy Yongzhou.
Xin Chengfu is a general, and naturally understands that Yongzhou is not a good place to be a base camp. Feng Tong thought so deeply that he focused on Yizhou, a state capital that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and has natural geographical advantages. Xin Chengfu attacked the city all the way and came to Yizhou, just in time to meet the first rebel army sent by the Song Dynasty. In order to seize Yizhou, Xin Chengfu tried his best and finally annihilated all the troops led by Yue Sheng in Yizhou.
"... As for the news that the eldest brother went south to prepare to be stationed in Liuzhou, there was also a cottage nearby who accidentally learned the news, and used this news to obey Feng Tong." Yang Zongfeng said that his mouth was really dry. He quickly grabbed the teapot and stuffed it into his mouth.
"So, if you want to know the origin and ability of Xin Chengfu, you have to go to Jiaozhi Kingdom except Feng Tong?" Yang Zongbao has to face Xin Chengfu, so he cares about his affairs very much.
As for Mu Guiying, he is more interested in Feng Tong. It must be a good thing for him to build a cottage in six or seven years. Moreover, it is really a trick to let the general of Jiaozhi Kingdom serve him and help him establish the southern country.
Thinking about it, Mu Guiying's expression suddenly changed: "This Feng Tong now dares to confront the rebel army, which shows that his appetite is getting bigger and bigger. In this way, I'm afraid he won't be willing to shrink in Yizhou.
After Mu Guiying said this, Yang Zongbao realized that he was a little too proud. Thinking that there were too few spies he had arranged before, Yang Zongbao immediately got up and walked out of the room and sent more than a hundred detectives to explore the movement in Yizhou.
When Yang Bamei saw Yang Zongbao's behavior, she nodded first, and then said hesitantly, "This nearby cottage is openly subordinate to Feng Tong. Obviously, Feng Tong's power is also not small. It is estimated that our every move will soon reach his ears. If you only rely on the help of King Liang, it doesn't seem to be enough.
"The eighth aunt is right." Mu Guiying nodded and continued, "Gui Ying didn't expect that Feng Tong was so difficult to deal with. At this time, it seems that it really needs its help before it is possible to eliminate the southern country.
Everyone nodded with deep understanding of Mu Guiying's idea. However, where to find this 'help' is a problem. Do you want to find the cottage on Guangnan West Road like Feng Tong? Not to mention whether those cottages can agree, it is also a question whether Li Da can nod.
Thinking that Yang Liulang dared to use Mu Guiying at the beginning, it was because Mu Guiying did have the ability at the border. Most importantly, when Mu Guiying arrived at the border gate, Mu Kezhai did not show his head at all. Moreover, although Mukezhai was a cottage, it did not do anything to embarrass the local state government. The court also opened one eye and closed one eye.
Yang Zongbao thought for a moment before he said in a low voice, "Look at Feng Tong's movement again. If it doesn't work, I will personally 'please send you peace'..."
