Yang Jishan left the county government and hurried home, just now before entering the yamen, his wife asked someone to tell him that there was something at home, let him go back, Yang Jishan vaguely guessed what was going on. Templars,

Yang Jishan's home is in the south of the city, it is a small house covering an area of two acres, the house is an official house, he bought a few maids and servants himself, his wife came to live with him, and his daughter-in-law and grandson stayed in the capital.

As soon as Yang Jishan entered the house, his wife Yue pulled him into the back room and whispered, "Wei'er is here!" ”

Yang Jishan actually has three sons, the eldest son and the second son have already started a family, living in Chang'an, Yang Wei is the youngest, and he is also the most favored by Yang Jishan.

Yang Jishan walked into the back room, only to see his son Yang Wei sitting at the table sweating profusely eating a bowl of hot soup cakes, Yang Wei is from Wuyuan County, he has been officially transferred to Youzhou, as the general of Yingyanglang, first go to the capital military department to go through the transfer procedures, and then go directly to Youzhou.

But in the capital, he got a letter from Yang Yuanqing and ordered him to go to Dongping County to find out about Yang Xuangan's situation, and he came all the way.

When he came to Dongping County, he naturally came to find his father Yang Jishan, his father Yang Jishan served as the governor of Dongping County, and he was quite in charge of the military, Yang Wei saw his father come in, and quickly stood up.

"Sit down! Keep eating. ”

Yang Jishan smiled and asked his son to sit down, he loved this tall and fat little son very much, he also sat down, smiled and watched his son eat soup cakes, and waited until he finished eating, then asked: "When you passed through Dongjun, you didn't encounter the rebellious army of Wagangzhai!" ”

Yang Wei nodded, "Yes, they recruited troops in Weicheng, saying that I was a spy and wanted to arrest me to meet their generals, annoyed me, stoned dozens of them to death, and scared them all away." ”

Yang Jishan was worried in his heart, "You have to be careful, now there are rebellions in every county, don't fight them, there are many of them, you can't beat them." ”

"Father, please rest assured, the child will not be reckless, he can hide, I really didn't expect that Weicheng County would be occupied by Wagangzhai."

"Forget it, don't talk about this."

Yang Jishan sighed, waved his hand and asked, "Tell me about the person I care about the most!" How is my grandson? ”

"He was taken by his grandfather, and he was very good! If my father misses him, I'll send a letter back and ask my wife to bring him. ”

"Of course, I miss my grandson, but you don't need to bring it, it's best if you take your mother away and send her to her mother's house in Shuzhong."

Yang Wei was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Is the uncle going to have an accident?" ”

"Shh

Yang Jishan stood up, walked to the door and looked out, confirming that the maid and the servant were not outside, then closed the door, came back and said in a low voice: "Recently, he has been preparing for war more and more urgently, and I feel that he will have to do something at most in half a year." Templar,"

Yang Wei's heart sank, was it only half a year?

"Father, this matter is very important, can it be sure that it will be half a year?"

Yang Jishan shook his head, "How can I be sure, I just feel that he is looking at the situation of rebellion in various places, and there are more and more rebellions in various places, he is very excited, and he can see that he can't bear it, but ....."

"But what?" Yang Wei had another glimmer of hope in his heart.

"But he said that at least 50,000 people must be able to raise things, and now I have 8,000 county soldiers in my hands, 15,000 on Xuanjing's side, 5,000 on Wang Bodang's side, and 22,000 people are still missing, even if I have 50,000 troops, I still have to train, I have to buy weapons and equipment, and I have to wait for the opportunity, I estimate that it will take at least eight months."

Yang Jishan took out a booklet from his arms again, flipped through it, and handed it directly to Yang Wei, "This is your uncle's money, food and equipment, you give it to Yuanqing!" ”

Eight months is around June and July next year, Yang Wei sighed, took the booklet and stood up and said, "Father, then I'll go." ”

Yang Jishan was stunned, "Wei'er, are you going to leave just now?" ”

"I'm actually passing through here, I'm going to Zhuojun, it is estimated that Yuanqing has already set off, see if I can meet him on the way."

Yang Wei walked out of the room, said a few more words to his mother, and then rode his camel in the direction of the Yellow River.

．．．．．．．．．

October is the early winter season in the north, piles of dark gray clouds, low pressing the earth, at dusk, the sky begins to rain winter, gray rain and mist shrouded a bare forest, old trees stand gloomily in the rain, from time to time from the branches of the jackdaw' quack! Ga! The cry of the earth is desolate and cold.

This is the county of Xindu County, from the south of the high chicken park is only more than 100 miles, half a year ago, the county was broken by the bandit Zhang Jincheng army, killed more than 10,000 people, money and grain women looted, after half a year, there is still no pedestrian to see on the official road here.

Miles away, the swarthy walls were shrouded in rain and mist, resembling a ghost town against a desolate backdrop.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, accompanied by the sound of the carriage, the carriage gradually approached, it was a skinny old horse pulling a dilapidated carriage, hurrying on the official road, followed by two middle-aged attendants on horseback, their faces were full of rain, they couldn't hide the panic and anxiety on their faces, they kept looking back, as if someone was chasing behind.

"Uncle Fu, how far is it from the Yongji Canal Wharf?" An attendant anxiously asked the old man who was driving the car.

"San Lang, you are confused, you don't even know this, there are still more than ten miles!"

"They're coming!"

Another attendant shouted, only to see a group of small black dots appear in the distance, rushing towards this side, the two attendants immediately panicked, at this time, an old voice came from the carriage, "Go and hide in the forest!" ”

The carriage turned around, rushed into the barren grass, rushed to the forest dozens of steps away, and hid in the forest for a moment, not long after, a group of cavalry galloped from a distance, about 100 people, each wearing a black cloak, burly, the crotch of the war horse vigorous, only a hundred cavalry made people feel the momentum like thunder, because the sky was dark, they did not find the traces of the carriage in the grass, swept by the forest like a lightning speed, and galloped to the south. ，

In the forest, several people watched the cavalry walk away, and an entourage whispered: "Master, it's Dou Jiande's black-clothed personal guard." ”

"I know, wait until the end of the day to go, don't go to the dock, just look for ships along the Yongji Canal."

The old man sighed again, "Alas! This is my Da Sui. ”

In the carriage, the old man's voice looked old and tired, with a deep pathos.

．．．．．．．

The rain gradually stopped, the sky became darker and darker, the surroundings were pitch black, the whole land was completely shrouded in a misty gray mist, the carriage cautiously came out of the forest, crossed the official road, and continued to walk eastward about two miles, and finally saw the Yongji Canal, which had not yet frozen, and the wide water was also pitch black, and there was no fog, so black that there was not even a little light, only the sound of the water hitting the shore 'boom!' Wow! 'Sound.

At this moment, a fire dragon appeared in the distance a few miles away, densely packed, with thousands of people, and they searched this side like a net along the shore, and the attendant exclaimed, "Master, look over there! ”

The curtain of the car has been slightly opened, revealing a pair of old eyes, he has seen the fire dragon in the distance, with his experience, it is at least five thousand people, Dou Jiande spared no expense to catch him, the old man sighed slightly, "Is it that I am going to die here today?" ”

The old man is the old minister Gao Gong in the deep family, Qi County is his ancestral home, because of his high prestige, although the neighboring Qinghe County bandits are powerful, but no bandits dare to touch him, Dou Jiande also issued a strict order, no one is allowed to harass him, but with the defeat of the Sui army in Goryeo, Dou Jiande's mind also began to change, he continued to send people to persuade Gao Gong to be loyal to him, was severely rejected by Gao Gong, but yesterday, Dou Jiande personally came to the door to invite him out of the mountain, was scolded by Gao Gong, Gao Gong realized that Dou Jiande would not let him go, He escaped from the house early in the morning, but was discovered by Dou Jiande's personal guards and chased him all the way.

At this time, it was too late to go back to the forest, they had no way out, Gao Gong was in despair, he was seventy years old, and it was too big to die to save the night.

"Sir! Master! ”

The coachman suddenly shouted excitedly: "Look, there is a boat in the river!" ”

Gao Gong brushed the curtain and looked into the river, only to see two big boats appear in the river, with large purple lanterns hanging on the boats.

His attendants and coachmen waved desperately and shouted: "Dock!" Help me! ”

On the big ship, Yang Yuanqing stood on the side of the second-floor ship, frowning and looking at the dense torches like the sea on the shore, there were five or six thousand people, under the firelight, these people were dressed in cloth clothes, wrapped in turbans, and holding all kinds of weapons in their hands, this was obviously not the Sui army, but the rebel bandits.

It was rampant to this extent, and he came to the Yongji Canal to rob it! Yang Yuanqing was slightly angry in his heart, and at this time, a soldier next to him suddenly said: "General, there seems to be someone on the shore shouting for help." ”

Yang Yuanqing also faintly heard it, but it was too far from the shore, and he couldn't see the situation clearly, at this time, he saw the torch team speeding up, and his mind moved, could it be that the bandits on the shore were chasing someone?

"Put a boat down!"

Immediately a sergeant lowered a small boat into the water, and several sergeants disembarked and rowed to the shore, at this time, the pursuers had reached more than three hundred paces, found the carriage, and were speeding towards this side.

Two of Gao Gong's attendants also saw a small boat approaching the shore, but they were a hundred paces away, and they were so anxious that they stamped their feet and shouted loudly.

The coachman helped Gao Gong out of the carriage, and the boat got closer and closer, and the pursuers got closer and closer, and when the pursuers were still more than forty paces, the boat finally landed.

The sergeant asked in a loud voice, "Who is on the shore?" ”

"Old man Gao Gong!"

Gao Gong said in a deep voice: "But the big ship is an official of the imperial court? ”

When the three soldiers heard that it was Gao Gong, they were all startled, and hurriedly docked the boat, "Gao Xiangguo, please get on the boat quickly." ”

The two attendants helped Gao Xi onto the boat, and the coachman didn't care about the carriage, so he jumped into the boat, and the boat shook and gradually left the shore.

At this time, the pursuers had arrived, and the leading officer saw that Gao Gong had boarded the boat, and it was more than ten zhang from the shore, and he couldn't help but be furious, regardless of Dou Jiande's ban, and ordered: "Shoot them with arrows!" ”

Hundreds of soldiers immediately released arrows, the Sui soldiers pressed Gao Gong down on the boat, raised their shields to protect them, and the entourage and coachmen were so frightened that they lay on the boat and did not dare to move, only to hear the sound of arrows overhead. Sou! Gradually, they left the range of their bows and arrows.

Gao Gong sat up, looked at the rebellious army on the shore, couldn't help but scream in his heart for luck, and asked gratefully, "May I ask who is the owner of the ship?" ”

The soldier smiled: "Back to Gao Xiang, it is the head of Youzhou Yang." ”

"Yang Yuanqing!"

Gao Gong was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he patted his forehead and sighed, "What a providence!" ”

．．．．．．．．．

Yang Yuanqing heard that the person who rescued was actually Gao Gong, he was surprised and delighted, and personally got off the boat to carry Gao Gong on the big boat, helped Gao Gong to sit down, Yang Yuanqing bowed his head and bowed, "Yuanqing kowtows to the elder pavilion!" ”

Gao Gong was so excited that he burst into tears, "Child, it's really you, this is really God's arrangement." ”

Yang Yuanqing was also full of emotion, God's arrangement was often unexpected, and he actually saved Gao Gong at a critical time.

"Don't worry, with me Yang Yuanqing here, the thieves on the shore can't hurt you a single hair."

Yang Yuanqing hurriedly ordered the soldiers to arrange to go into the cabin to rest, he looked at the dense bandits on the shore, and in the firelight, he saw a group of cavalry standing on the shore surrounded by a horse general.

"General, it's Dou Jiande's army!"

A pro-soldier whispered, "I asked too much about the high-level minister's entourage." ”

Yang Yuanqing nodded, and immediately ordered: "The big ship is a hundred steps on the shore!" ”

The official boat creaked and gradually approached the shore, about a hundred paces apart, and then straightened its direction.

From this distance, Yang Yuanqing could already see very clearly, the man on the shore was a middle-aged man, with a long beard, sharp eyes, and a strong figure, and the big flag behind him had a big 'Dou' character written on it.

The man on the shore was none other than Dou Jiande, and he was very annoyed when he saw Gao Gong being rescued, causing him to lose a great strange cargo, and he also wanted to know, who was the person on the boat?

Seeing the ship approaching, Dou Jiande shouted loudly: "Who is on the boat?" ”

At this time, Yang Yuanqing pulled out an iron arrow, stretched his bow like a full moon, shot an arrow, the arrow was like lightning, and it was shot strongly from a hundred steps away, this arrow did not shoot Dou Jiande, but directly took the war horse under his crotch.

Iron Arrow' poof! With a bang, it shot through the forehead of the war horse, and the war horse neighed miserably, and fell to the ground with a bang, throwing Dou Jiande more than a foot away.

"For the sake of your kindness to Gao Xiangguo, Rao'er will die!"

Yang Yuanqing sneered, waved his hand, and the two big ships resumed their course and gradually moved away.

The guards helped Dou Jiande up, Dou Jiande stared at the big ship in the distance, frightened, from the big boat to the shore, at least one hundred and thirty or forty steps, who was on the boat, he could shoot such a powerful arrow, he was unheard of.

"Chief, this is an iron arrow!"

A soldier trembled and offered an arrow to kill the war horse, Dou Jiande was taken aback, he hurriedly took the iron arrow, he felt that the iron arrow seemed to be engraved with a line of words, and shouted: "Torch come!" ”

The firelight illuminated the body of the arrow, and I saw that it was engraved: 'Yin Mountain Flying General Yang Yuanqing', and Dou Jiande's face suddenly turned extremely white.
