Gu Zhengyang nodded and said: "The army is not a child's play, I saw it with my own eyes when Yue Peng raised the army, the military discipline is strict, and the order is prohibited. Therefore, the Yue family army can win all battles. So the two of you must listen to Yan'er's dispatch this time, and don't shy away from orders. Since she is Xue Ping, she must not be capricious. Otherwise, Yan'er will deal with them with military law. ”

Tie Chenglin said respectfully: "Yes, Second Master, I will definitely listen to Senior Brother Yang." ”

Gu Xueping stuck out her tongue and grimaced: "Okay, I'll listen to Brother Ayan." ”

At this time, Gu Zhengyang pulled out a copper pipe more than a foot long and the thickness of a goose egg from his waist, handed it to Gu Xueping and said: "This guy originally wanted to wait a few years before passing on you, but the battlefield is unusual and comparable, so let's defend yourself now." ”

Yang Yan was slightly stunned, this is Gu Zhengyang's unique weapon. It turned out that Gu Zhengyang was good at dressing up as a fisherman, so the weapon he used was a special fishing rod. It is made of all-copper, which is divided into nine sections, which can be raised and contracted freely. All retracted to be only one foot six inches long, and all pulled out can be as long as one foot or two feet, which is a weapon that can only be short, soft or hard. It's very painful.

Gu Xueping said: "Grandpa, you give me the fishing rod to use, so what do you use?"

Gu Zhengyang smiled and said, "Grandpa doesn't need it or not, it's not a big difference." You can rest assured. "It turns out that this shrinking fishing rod Gu Zhengyang often used it when he was young, and then his martial arts gradually improved, and he practiced through the arm boxing, so he rarely used it, but he always carried it with him, but most of it was really used for fishing.

Yang Yan then remembered that Tie Chenglin didn't have a weapon yet, and said, "Chenglin, what weapon do you use?"

Tie Chenglin snorted: "The ancestor only taught me boxing, not how to use weapons. ”

Yang Yan then remembered that the three wonders of the rivers and lakes were all bare-handed and did not use weapons, so naturally they would not teach Tie Chenglin the routines of weapons. Said: "On the right battlefield, you don't have to fight from the two, it's always better to have a weapon, what weapon you like to use, I'll have someone prepare one for you." ”

Tie Chenglin thought for a while before he said: "When I was a child, I learned to strike iron with my father at home, and I used to make a big gong at that time, can you find me a big gong for iron." ”

Gu Xueping laughed and said, "There is a sledgehammer for striking iron as a weapon." Easy to read on mobile phone: (1)(6)k.

Yang Yan said with a smile: "There is no sledgehammer for iron, but there is also a sledgehammer among the ten kinds of weapons, I will ask you to find a few pairs in the afternoon to try to make it or not." ”

Immediately, Fan Chengda issued an official document, because Yang Yan now has no official position, so he set up a Jingjiang Mansion to set up the head street of the envoy and the military aircraft. Qi Fang had also gathered 500 cavalry troops, and sent Yin Shibiao, the commander of the left army of the infantry division, and Yang Yan to lead the army to Guangzhou. Huang Mingxia and Ling Xiang also selected twenty disciples with higher martial arts skills from the Huang family's disciples, among which Huang Taisong, who was more familiar with Yang Yan. Together with the army through Guangzhou. Leaving Huang Qi, Huang Ye and Huang Zhengping in Jingjiang Mansion to recruit the remnants of the Huang family and the servants in Yongzhou, prepare to deal with the Manichaean army.

At the same time, Fan Chengda and Wu Gong also discussed and decided to send Zhang Qi, the commander of the rear army of the Infantry Military Division, and Chen Ming, the commander of the Fengzhou regiment, and Yu Yuanhua, the commander of the Wuzhou regiment, to lead the 5,000 infantry army to follow. It was about three or four days later for Yang Yan and them to arrive in Guangzhou.

******************************

Three days later, Yang Yan led his men and horses to the city of Guangzhou.

I saw that the gate of Guangzhou City was wide open, and there were only a dozen soldiers guarding the gate, but the people and others could go out freely, and the soldiers guarding the gate basically had nothing to stop them, and there seemed to be no nervousness. Yang Yan also felt a little strange, but he was a little relieved to see clearly that the soldiers guarding the gate were still the armor and clothing of the Song army, and the city was still looking at the banner of the Song Dynasty. But didn't the Manichaean army attack?

Coming to the door, Yang Yan showed the defenders the official document of the Jingjiang Mansion Envoy, and the captain of the soldiers behind the gate came over, looked at it briefly, and didn't ask anything, and immediately waved their hands and let them into the city.

Guangzhou is the most prosperous city in the south of the Great Song Dynasty, and the street is a very lively scene. This elbow happens to be the time of the lunar month, which is close to the New Year, and every household is full of lights and beams. In addition, the climate in the south is hot, and although it is winter, it is still warm as spring. I saw a bustling crowd of people constantly passing by the army, all dressed gorgeously and colorfully, whether men, women, young or old, most of them were beaming and refreshed. There are also many businessmen from the Western Regions and the South Seas, who are bizarre and eye-catching.

On both sides of the street are countless merchants, sprinklers and inns, as well as small vendors selling all kinds of goods, listing all kinds of goods and all kinds of goods. The sound of shouting, shouting, talking and laughing is endless. Even Yang Yan and the others were infected by this atmosphere, tightening their reins one by one, carefully controlling the war horses, so as not to spoil this lively and peaceful scene. Only Gu Xueping sat on the horse and looked around, as if she was interested in everything, but she only hated that she only had a pair of eyes, which was not enough.

But there was no tension at all.

Yin Shibiao let out a long breath and muttered: "It's so lively, is this like a war?" I think it's still lively from Lin'an. Lord Yang, what's going on?"

Yang Yan also felt a little incredible, the official document sent by Guangzhou to Jingjiang Mansion was written in a hurry, as if the eyebrows were burned, and now seven days have passed since the time of issuing the official document, and in these seven days, the Manichaean army should have arrived in Guangzhou. In Yang Yan's imagination, the city of Guangzhou should be closed and heavily guarded, as if facing a great enemy. The street should also be closed doors, and every house is bolted, and it looks very deserted. I never expected it to be such a prosperous and rich scene. It has nothing to do with the war at all. Hearing Yin Shibiao say this, he also shook his head and said, "Don't ask me, I don't know what's going on, let's go to the state government and ask first, right?"

When he came to the Guangzhou Mansion, Yang Yan stopped his military horses and ordered them to wait in place, and he came to the door with Yin Shibiao and handed over the public eve of Jingjiang Mansion. When the porter saw that it was the official document of the envoy of the Jingjiang Mansion, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately handed it in. Shao leaned out and said, "Master Zhizhou has invited two of you, please come in with the villain." ”

Guangzhou Zhizhou is called Cheng Yuanzhou, this person is a 28-year Jinshi in Shaoxing, about forty-five or sixteen years old, medium build, slightly fat, Yang Yan and Yin Shibiao first gave him a salute, and then presented the official document. Cheng Yuanzhou took the official document, looked at it aside, saw Yang Yan's name, was also stunned, and glanced at Yang Yan a few more times, but he didn't ask anything, put down the official document, and said with a smile: "The two of you came so quickly, you are bothering Fan Zhizhi, but the two of you can rest assured that the Manichaean army has retreated." ”

Yang Yan was stunned again, "The Manichaean army has retreated. I couldn't help but ask, "Lord Cheng, how could the Manichaean army retreat?"

Cheng Yuanzhou said: "I don't know much about this official, but it is a fact that the Manichaean army has retired, and it is also a great thing." ”

The more Yang Yan listened, the more confused he became, and he couldn't help but say, "I'm afraid that there is fraud in it, right?"

When Cheng Yuanzhou heard this, his face immediately sank, and he said, "Senator Yang, what do you mean by this, can't this official lie to you?" Or do you want the Manichaean army to attack Canton?"

Before Yang Yan could speak, Yin Shibiao immediately grabbed the conversation and said, "Lord Zhizhou misunderstood, this Yang Senator is a person who is proficient in the art of war and has experienced a hundred battles. Just a few months ago, I went on the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty, and he personally led thousands of people to attack Heiyang Mountain, and went thousands of miles deep into the Golden Realm. ”

Cheng Yuanzhou was also taken aback when he heard it, it turned out to be really that Yang Yan, although he didn't know when Yang Yan would resume his post, but he didn't dare to be careless and said: "Russia, it turned out to be General Xiao Yang on the expedition to Heiyang Mountain, and the official was disrespectful." In his tone, he was a little polite.

Yang Yan smiled bitterly in his heart, he knew that Yin Shibiao saw that Cheng Yuanzhou was vague, and he started to speak in an official tone without saying a few words, and he was angry, but he was only a commander, and it was inconvenient for Cheng Yuanzhou to argue, so he pointed out Yang Yan's identity to suppress Cheng Yuanzhou. I can't see that this Yin Shibiao has some brains, not a reckless man. I had to salute and said, "Master Cheng has spoken." ”

Yin Shibiao continued: "This time this Lord Yang is holding the token of the Privy Council issued by Zhongshu Yu Xianggong, and he can act cheaply in Guangnan, and many major military aircraft even have to be discussed with him, and he is also thinking about the safety of Guangzhou, please don't misunderstand Lord Cheng." ”

Cheng Yuanzhou heard that Yang Yan still held the token of the Privy Council issued by Yu Yunwen, although the current privy envoy was not concurrently served by Yu Yunwen, but Yu Yunwen was still the prime minister of the dynasty after all. This means that Yang Yan is Yu Yunwen's representative, and he also feels a little regretful about what he did just now, and hurriedly said: "Senator Yang, six days ago, the Manichaeism did send troops to take Guangzhou, and the people and horses all went to Sihui, but somehow, they withdrew the army, but the official really doesn't know why they want to scatter the army, but it is always a good thing for the Manichaean to scatter the army. ”
