Chapter 284 The East Road is defeated!
Wang Yu's seizure of power has always been like a farce. Naturally, Yang Yanzhao will not make waves because of this, but the news that Li Yi is Silang really shocked him.
When he silently read the word 'Li Yi', suddenly, Yang Yanzhao's mind flashed. 'Li Yi' is 'Yang Zi', Yang Jia'erlang!
No wonder when he was in Bianliang, he would take the initiative to look for him to drink and listen to the matter of the Yang family in Daizhou City. It turned out that Li Yi had known his background for a long time, but for some reason, he had always recognized him in the future.
But didn't he leave Bianliang later?
Why didn't you go to Daizhou City, but went to Ninghua City to join the army. What happened?
Yang Yanzhao really couldn't figure it out, but now that Li Yi has been taken away by Yang Ye, he may not see him for a while, so he can only suppress his stomach full of doubts and take Xiao Muchun and others back.
Because of Wang Yu's chaos, a series of soldiers passed by the street from time to time and were transferred to the camp in Ninghua and Linzhou to maintain stability. After all, the generals and schools in these two states have been *, and their soldiers are likely to make trouble, but there are Pan Mei, Yang Ye and other highly prestigious veterans, which will not cause big trouble.
What's more, Pan Mei will not really deal with all the generals and colonels in these two states, killing one or two at most to set an example. During this period, as the coach, he knew the importance of military unity more than anyone else.
It's just that these have nothing to do with him, Yang Yanzhao. Wang Yu and Liu Wenyu died, and the supervisor of the West Road Army left him. According to Pan Mei's previous words, Yang Yanzhao understood that he was actually empty and became a puppet and decoration.
Although he is a little unhappy, it's okay. No one is pointing fingers. With the ability of Pan Mei and others, there is still a great hope for the defeat of Khitan, and he is free and comfortable, and he can still sit and wait for the reward of the court. Isn't it a good job of killing two birds with one stone?
Back to the yard, it was already the time when the moon star was full of everything. No longer had the heavy burden on his shoulder, Yang Yanzhao suddenly felt much more relaxed. After some washing, he fell asleep.
The next day, before dawn, he heard a banging knock on the door outside the house. In a daze, Yang Yanzhao jumped up in shock, put on his long shirt, and walked out.
When they opened the door, they saw Goro and Qilang standing outside the house. When they saw Yang Yanzhao, they couldn't help pulling him out of the room. "Sixth brother, my father found the fourth brother who had been separated for many years last night!"
"Yes, yes, sixth brother, we just heard the news. It is said that the fourth brother is a lieutenant on the other side of Ninghua City. Last night, Wang Yu made a disturbance and was recognized by his father when he was captured by General Pan's people."
He broke his arm out of their hands. Yang Yanzhao buttoned his long shirt and nodded and said, "Indeed, I was also there at that time. A kit containing a jade pendant fell out of the fourth brother's arms. After his father picked it up, he knew that he was the fourth brother."
Goro and Qilang looked at each other happily, "It's true, that's great!"
Seeing the two of them like this, Yang Yanzhao was a little puzzled, "Fifth brother, seventh brother, don't you know? Didn't Dad go back to the camp last night?"
Qilang shook his head, "We also just heard the news from the eldest brother. Dad stayed with General Pan last night to discuss the military situation. The soldiers in Linzhou City seemed to be making trouble. The eldest brother, the second brother and the third brother were transferred, so they asked me and the fifth brother to find the sixth brother."
It turns out to be like this. No wonder that the situation between the East Road and the Middle Road is unknown. Maybe it is a melee. The army of the West Road rests for a day in Yunzhou. I think it is about to pull out the camp to the east and converge with the current Middle Road.
The military situation is tight. As the deputy commander, Yang Ye naturally can't relax. Even if he has just recognized the four sons who have been separated for more than ten years, this is his character, and Yang Yanzhao knows a little about it.
Looking at the two brothers who were staring at him, Yang Yanzhao quickly said, "Fifth brother, sixth brother, don't worry. Wait for me to wash up a little, and then you can go to see the fourth brother together."
After receiving the well water from Xiao Muchun, he was cold but refreshed. Yang Yanzhao washed up randomly. "To be honest, my fourth brother and I met several times in Bianliang City, and I didn't know his identity at that time."
This sentence suddenly aroused the curiosity of the two. Yang Yanzhao walked out of the yard with a smile and talked with them about how he met Li Yi in Bianliang City.
The camp of the Ninghua Army was in the south of the city. When Yang Yanzhao and the other three arrived, a large number of soldiers were coming. The captain who knew Golang and Qilang naturally stopped to say a few words.
After some engrossing, Yang Yanzhao realized that after Pan Mei killed Wang Yu, he cut down a few generals who ignited Ning Hua and Linzhou, and sent the rest back to the camp. He was kind and powerful, which also stabilized the military.
When he came to the camp of the Ninghua Army, the soldiers on duty outside the camp saw Yang Yanzhao when they entered the city. They understood that he was a super-ranking prisoner and did not dare to offend him, so they quickly reported him.
After a while, the soldier came out again, followed by Li Yi, who was a little haggard. Seeing him, Yang Yanzhao took a few steps forward, looked at him for a while, and finally said with a smile, "Should I call you Brother Li or the fourth brother?"
"Fourth brother!"
"Fourth brother!"
Hearing his words, Goro and Qilang also knew that the person in front of them was Silang. They hurried forward with excitement on their faces.
A trace of joy flashed in Li Yi's tired eyes. He squeezed out a smiling face and said to Yang Yanzhao, "It's better to call Yang Silang, Yang Yanhui is also good."
Later, he turned to Goro and Qilang, "Although he is his own brother, Yanhui and the two brothers met for the first time. I don't know..."
Hearing the words, Qilang rushed to answer, "I'm the seventh, and the fourth brother can call me Yan Si. This is the fifth brother, Yang Yande."
Yang Yanhui hugged his fist and said, "Yanhui has seen the fifth brother, the seventh brother."
With that, he stretched out his hand to the camp and made a gesture of invitation, "It's inconvenient to say outside. Fifth brother, sixth brother, seventh brother follow me."
The three followed Yang Yanhui into the camp and arrived in his barracks. Qilang kept talking happily, thinking about his mother's happy appearance after Silang came back, and even said how Bamei would be coquettish with Silang in the future, which made people laugh, and Yang Yanhui's eyes became brighter and brighter.
After taking a sip of some bitter tea in the camp, Yang Yanzhao put down the cup and asked the puzzle in his heart, "Fourth brother, since you have known your background, why don't you come to Daizhou City to find your father and mother?"
Hearing this, Yang Yanzhao sighed and was silent for a moment, "Now that you and I are brothers, I will tell the truth. Several younger brothers Mo Xiao and brother are pretentious. I was separated from my parents. I was still young. Later, I was adopted by my adoptive father and went to Huainan. In those years, I have been waiting for my parents to find me home, but after all, I was disappointed.
So, I had hatred in my heart. After my adoptive father died, I accidentally entered the imperial army. Because of resentment, I made up my mind not to go to Daizhou City until I met my sixth brother later.
Speaking of this, Silang stopped to look at Yang Yanzhao, which made the latter more confused, but he smiled and continued, "Maybe the sixth brother doesn't remember. I asked you to drink that day. After you got drunk, you kept shouting home and calling my parents, which touched me a lot. The sixth brother suffered the humiliation of being expelled by the family, but he has always been thinking about the Yang family. What is my suffering compared with the sixth brother?
That day, Yang Yanzhao was drunk. Of course, he didn't remember what he said, but he knew very well that the family he was talking about was not the Yang family in this life.
It's just this kind of thing, how can you say it clearly?
Qi Lang and Go Lang, who were beside them, looked at Yang Yanzhao with sadness. Seeing that his face dimmed, Golang quickly changed the topic and said, "Why did the fourth brother join the army in Ninghua City again?"
Hearing this sentence, Silang was a little embarrassed and sighed, "At the beginning, I secretly came to Daizhou City and found that all my brothers had made achievements, but I still achieved nothing. I was very depressed. I happened to remember that when I came to Ninghua City for conscription, I went there. If I didn't have a position as an official, how could I have the face to go home?"
To put it frankly, Yang Yanzhao and others didn't know how to answer for a moment. Although his parents did not think that their children were poor and weak, as heirs, who didn't want to return home?
So, the three of them tacitly exposed the matter and talked about other things with Silang. By noon, Dalang, Erlang and Sanlang also came, and the seven brothers gathered together, which was also very lively.
Just as the brothers were planning to go to the restaurant outside to have a few drinks, they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hoofs outside the camp, which seemed to be extremely flustered. Everyone immediately went to find out the situation.
As soon as he went out, he saw him turn over and said anxiously, "Generals, I have found you. The deputy commander, please go back to the camp as soon as possible!"
Just as Dalang was about to ask, another horse came from a distance. "Yang was detained, and the East Road Army was defeated. Pan Shuai asked the adults to go to the government office as soon as possible."
It turned out that the East Road army was defeated!
The news sounded in the ears of the brothers of the Yang family like thunder. Although Yang Yanzhao knew the ending in his heart, he persuaded Zhao Guangyi to kill Wang Yu personally. He thought that these changes would bring a turning point in history, but nothing seemed to have changed.
And Dalang and others are even more dull. There are officials in the East Road Army. How can many famous generals and soldiers be defeated? Sanlang even came forward to capture the messenger cavalry and captured the horse.
"How could the East Road be defeated? How could the officials be defeated by the Khitan people!"
Frightened by the sudden momentum of the three people, the messenger replied with a sad face, "Go back to Major General, it's true. This military situation has just been sent from Lingzhou. The East Road has been defeated, and even the Middle Road has begun to retreat."
"You talk nonsense!"
Qilang also jumped up and said that he was going to hit the messenger with his fist.
"Third brother, the seventh brother can't fool around!"
Da Lang shouted in a low voice, and his face was cold. He grabbed a horse and rushed to the camp with a whip. Behind him, Erlang and others were also like this, followed closely.
"Fourth brother, the situation is urgent, and my brother will also leave first."
The East Road Army was defeated, and the whole Northern Expedition was defeated. Yang Yanzhao had to hurry to the government office to listen to Pan Mei's deployment, and Silang must also accept the task. Naturally, he could not leave the camp, so the two said goodbye and hurriedly went separately.
