Chapter 53

"Want to see me?" Ling Yun said in surprise. He grabbed a hot steamed cake from the steamer and poured it back and forth between his hands.

"Yes, please follow me immediately." Pei Li, the governor of Kuzhen, urged him to take out a handbook from his sleeve and hand it to Ling Yun.

"I want to go together!" Gao Qianxue said to Ling Yun with concern, his tone full of distrust of Yang Guang, "If we want to die, we must be together."

I didn't want to die, Ling Yun thought. He stood there and opened the handwritten book. There were only two words on it, Yi Feng. Those were two familiar words, because these two words were exactly the same as the words on his jade pendant. This made him slightly moved. Maybe there was something hidden in it. Maybe he should have met Yang Guang, after all, Yang Guang did not order to attack the manor directly. He didn't want to die, nor did he want Qianxue to die, nor did he want the people in Gaojiazhuang to die, nor did he want the death of his sister Murong Qiangwei, whom he had just met again. But what exactly did Yang Guang mean? Why didn't he see Gao Qianxue, but instead proposed to see him?

Maybe he should meet Yang Guang and see what he planned. Ling Yun has been famous for a long time. In later generations, Yang Guang had no good reputation. Before ascending the throne, Yang Guang had the reputation of the best wise king, with great literary talent and great martial arts. After he ascended the throne, he always performed well at the beginning. Under his rule, the empire reached its peak by the seventh year of Daye, and established a Tian-Chung Shang Kingdom tribute system. It was the center of the Eastern world. No other countries around dared to follow. Build the Great Wall, build the Eastern Capital, dig canals, conquer Yiwu, Tuyuhun, Linyi, and Ryukyu, and all surrendered. If Yang Guang died before the seventh year of Daye, he might be a great emperor who had passed down through the ages, rather than a king who was sighed by countless descendants. After the three expeditions of Goryeo, the empire collapsed.

"I'll go with Sanlang, and my brother and sister stay here." Murong Qiangwei said calmly. This is already a dead end. Perhaps the way to break the dead end is Yi Feng. She also saw the two words in Yi Feng's hand, and she was full of surprise.

"Please follow me!" Pei Li urged again.

When Ling Yun and Murong Qiangwei followed Pei Li out of the village to Yang Guang's temporary camp, Yang Guang was discussing with his subordinates how to deal with the Shen family, and the Gao family had a tiger girl who suddenly came uninvited.

It was a cold and wet morning. The sky was dark and it rained all night and the ground was muddy. Teams of Jin's private troops had just changed their guards from the front and walked back to the camp with laughter and stomping on the mud. There were many auxiliary soldiers in the camp, who were responsible for renovating armor and weapons, cooking and feeding horses. However, Yang Guang's big tent was very warm and dry and comfortable. This was a big tent that could accommodate hundreds of people. There were several braziers in it. When you were in it, you could not feel the outside at all.

It was cold and wet. Guo Yan sat next to one of the braziers, holding a purple clay teapot in his hand, and tasted the agave tea that was addicted to after drinking it. He said leisurely: "The evidence is conclusive, let someone directly take a soldier to conquer the Shen family. I promised that no one would be let go." Speaking of this, he smiled in his eyes, "The Shen family in Wuxing has a wealth of 100 million yuan, and this fat pig happened to kill the meat. With this money, we can recruit a lot of brave men and buy a lot of equipment and food."

Duan Da also expressed his agreement, "Your Highness has been in charge of Jianghuai for many years and has always been gentle and gentle, but there are still many families like Shen, who are slandering. This time, it is just right to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys. I will use the chicken Shen to warn the monkeys like Jiangdong. Now it is a critical moment. We must not have a fire in the backyard when we start war with the East Palace."

However, Chen Ping and Yu Wen Shu were keenly discovered that the King of Jin was not satisfied with this result. Seeing that the King of Jin was frowning slightly, Yu Wen Shu immediately changed his mind.

"I agree with General Manager Guo and Duan Chanjun's idea of ​​sanctioning Shen. Wuxing Shen's family is so arrogant and bold, and it is impossible not to sanction them. Sanctioning them can indeed kill the chicken to warn the monkey. However, I think that sanctioning Shen does not necessarily mean to destroy them." While speaking, he kept observing Yang Guang's face. Seeing Yang Guang's brows stirring a few times, he finally calmed down and continued: "Now is the critical time, our own territory must be stable. Wuxing Shen's family must be sanctioned, but I think it is not necessary to kill. We now have their exact evidence of rebellion, which is evidence to destroy the nine clans. We can actually send troops to Wuxing first, show it to Shen, and threaten it, and then pull Shen to our ship. I believe that with such an opportunity, they will be willing to fully support Your Highness from now on."

Yang Guang nodded and praised him slightly. Yuwen Shu is worthy of being his planner, and he is also dealing with Shen, but Guo Yan and Duan Da only know how to fight and kill. Although they can claim credit from the court if they destroy Shen, they will not get too many benefits, and at most they will get a lot of money. But compared to Yuwen Shu's idea, it is much worse. He beat Shen first and then give him a date, and use the evidence of their rebellion to threaten the entire Shen family to tie their chariots. This result is completely different. Destroying Shen family may cause shock to other wealthy families in Jiangdong, and even

It was because they were afraid of rebounding. But letting the Shen family turn the Shen family into their own people is of great benefit to stabilizing the situation in Jiangdong. In fact, the Shen family was not really a rebellion. These Jiangdong families have always put family interests first and did not see the court. Their interactions with the Gao family were just for the benefit of smuggling. It was not true that they wanted to rebel. Otherwise, Yang Guang would not dare to tolerate a tiger hiding by his side like this. The Shen family was at most a local dog guarding the door. If he gave him a few bones, he would shake his tail and follow him.

"Zhang Heng, you can transfer five hundred cavalry to Wuxing and ask the Wu family to send 100 young children, including the eldest son of the eldest son of the eldest family, to the orphans' personal army to serve as guards. In addition, let them hand over one million yuan to you to bring back." Yang Guang ordered, "Of course, if they have any different opinions, you can directly execute the head of the Shen family and help them change a new head. If the new head still refuses to agree, then change another one. In short, the Shen family must agree to all the requests of orphans, and must completely serve the orphans in the future."

One hundred family members are hostages, plus one million guan of money, can exchange for the survival of the entire Shen family. I believe the Shen family knows how to choose.

"How should the Gao family deal with it? And that tiger girl?" Zhang Heng asked. They stayed here all night but were reluctant to attack, which made him a little puzzled. Even as Yang Guang's right-hand man, he often couldn't see his many thoughts.

Yang Guang picked up the teacup and took a sip, put it down, "What is the remaining strength of the Gao family?"

Liu Yan, the royal family consultant, replied, "Although the Northern Qi Dynasty has been destroyed for many years, the Gao family still has many supporters in Shandong. Gao Shaoyi and Gao Baoning's daughter have been gathering a force around them over the years. They survived tenaciously by the secret support of Shandong people. Although the court wanted many times, they often hid in the Liaohe area outside the pass and received the protection of the Goryeo people, so they have been free. Until now, the Gao Qianxue sisters have a secret support from the Goryeo and have secret contacts with the Shandong region.

There is a wide range of smuggling networks, and even many Jiangdong tribes are involved in this network. The smuggling benefits are very high, so that the Gao sisters have always kept a large number of outlaws. The Gao family’s nest is now in Liaodong, but there are also many secret strongholds in Shandong and Jiangdong. They train and recruit at least tens of thousands of outlaws, but they are not in power, and they secretly reserve a large amount of food and grass equipment in the north. The most important thing is that because of the smuggling network, they have interests with many powerful people in Shandong and Jiangnan, and have a large network."

In a word, the Gao sisters are very rich, and there are also some. The most important thing is that they have money. With the support of Goguryeo, they established a large smuggling network with the Central Plains. The huge interests connected many powerful people in the Central Plains, which were endless and messy. Yang Guang also believed that those who defected to the Gao sisters who worked for them would not be very nostalgic to the country, and most of them would follow them for the sake of money.

However, the power of the Gao sisters still surprised him a little. The two weak women actually managed such a large network of power and underestimated them.

"How much do you know about Murong Qiangwei and the Tiger Alliance?"

"Murong Qiangwei was the daughter of Murong Ke, the leader of the Tiger Alliance, the largest green forest force in the north, a few years ago. Murong Ke is actually a member of the court." Liu Gu's words were astonishing.

Yang Guang was surprised, "Murong Ke is from the court, why don't I know this?"

Liu Guyan smiled and said, "Murong Ke is a secret spy under the Ministry of War of the Court. He was once the subordinate of Changsun Sheng and has been stationed in the territory of Xi and Khitan on the north side of Yanshan. When Murong Ke was able to suddenly rise to Yanshan and conquer more than 700 green forest forces, it was actually completely supported by the court. Although the court had defeated the Turks at that time, the situation in the northern border was still not optimistic, especially the continuous expansion of Goguryeo in Northeast China, which had long become a hidden danger. The court arranged Murong Ke to join forces with the Green Forest forces in Yanshan, in fact, in order to monitor Xi and Khitan in another name. These two divisions are located between the Turks, Goryeo and Great Sui families. No matter who they turn, they are extremely critical to the situation in the entire north. Although Khitan and Xi fell to our Great Sui after the Turks split, they were also threatened by Turks and Goryeo at any time and could fall into the side of the other two families at any time."

The court originally wanted to use Murong Ke to build a green forest force in Yanshan, which could not only monitor the Khitan and Xi, but also appropriately attack them when they were disobedient. The court even planned to send some government soldiers to pretend to be green forests after the alliance was established to become an unofficial court-controlled armed force. This would not only monitor the Khitan and Xi, but also not in the name of the court, so as not to directly cause tension among the Turks and the Goryeo people. At the same time, it could also integrate and control these green forest bandits on the frontier, killing several kills.

However, there were times when the chess pieces were disobedient. Not long after Murong Ke pulled up the Tiger Alliance, he actually began to ignore the court's command and even had the danger of losing control. In the end, the court took action to get rid of the chess piece that he had supported himself, announcing the failure of the plan.

Yang Guang was very surprised. He did not expect that the green forest organization in the northern border such as the Tiger League was actually full of shadows of the imperial court.

"The court originally wanted to support other obedient people after getting rid of Murong Ke, but in the end, he did not expect that Murong Ke's Thirteenth Grandmasters fully supported Murong Ke's daughter Murong Qiangwei to inherit her position. Murong Qiangwei actually settled the position, but the Tiger Alliance was no longer the grand occasion of the past, and returned to a mess. However, Murong Qiangwei has gradually cleaned up the situation and has a tendency to reign with the green forest in the north. I heard that some people in the court planned to subdue Murong Qiangwei and the Tiger Alliance to serve the court, or to eliminate her like her disobedient father, and support another person to control this force."

"How many people Murong Qiangwei controls now?"

"The Tiger Alliance now has more than 100 large and small parishes, with more than 10,000 minions. However, there are thirteen old camps directly under the Tiger Alliance, with a total of nearly 5,000 people and thousands of horses and thieves, and they are quite powerful."

Yang Guang nodded thoughtfully. The two riot forces of the Gao family and Murong were somewhat beyond his expectations. From the Yanshan to the Liaohe line, they actually controlled 10,000 or 20,000 people. Although many of them seemed to him were just mobs, they should not be underestimated.

"Tell me, how does Yi Feng have a relationship with them?" Yang Guang asked.

As Yang Guang's consultant, Liu Guyan was in charge of the intelligence and replied familiarly: "Yi Feng was Murong Ke's adopted son. It is said that he picked up from the foot of Taihang Mountain six years ago. Yi Feng, who was only over ten years old at that time, actually killed a tiger alone. Later, Yi Feng became Murong Ke's adopted son and flag bearer. Because of his bravery and ability to fight, he was called the Thirteen Taibao of Murong Ke and was nicknamed the White Horse Silver Spear. After Murong Ke's death, he continued to support Murong Qianwei and controlled the White Horse Hall, the most elite combat hall in the Tiger Alliance, with 200 cavalry and 800 studs. Then, not long ago, Yi Feng suddenly went south and then married into Gaojiazhuang and became a son-in-law for Gao Qianxue."

"The alliance between the Tiger League and the Gao family?"

"No, it is reported that Yi Feng saved Gao Qianxue's life, and then Gao Qianxue recruited Yi Feng into his marriage. However, Yi Feng had lost his memory at that time, and Gao Qianxue did not know Yi Feng's identity."

Many people here don’t believe this result, and there is no such coincidence. These people always feel that there is something else in their hearts.

"Interesting!" Yang Guang smiled slightly, "A amnesia-lost Yi Feng united the two major rioters in the north."

Yi Feng and Murong Qiangwei were taken into the tent. Ling Yun looked up and down at Yang Guang, and Yang Guang also looked up and down at Yi Feng. Others in the tent were secretly looking at Yi Feng and Yang Guang. Then, they were shocked to find that the famous white horse and silver spear in the northern green forest, Yi Sanlang, actually looked very imaginative with His Highness King Jin of the Great Sui Dynasty, and even looked like it was carved from a mold. It looked so similar. King Jin was beautiful and handsome, and he had been praised by everyone since he was a child. Now that he has just stepped forward, he looks more and more graceful and elegant. Although Yi Feng was very young and had an unruly aura on his body, he still sighed at the sight that he seemed to be another King of Jin, a young and wild and unruly King of Jin.
