Chapter 16 Chapter Sixteen Heart-to-Heart (Part 2)

Zhe Yuxun knew that Yang Hao had the intention of marching westward by gathering troops to Xiazhou, but in his expectation, Yang Hao's westward march should be to completely control the Hexi Corridor in his hands, so that this ancient road of the Western Regions, which is rich in wealth, will flourish again. Woke up, but he didn't expect his appetite to be so big. Zhe Yuxun looked at the map in astonishment, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became. If these places were really captured by Yang Hao, the area under his jurisdiction would almost be no less than the entire Central Plains. By then..., but... Is this possible?

Zhe Yuxun asked hesitantly: "Third brother, is this... possible?" Yang Hao said: "If the Central Plains is free to give more aid and support to the Tubo people, it will greatly increase the difficulty of my success; if the scattered sands of Tubo reunite and establish a unified regime, I think success will It's even more difficult; if I'm timid and don't try at all, then... there is no doubt that there is no possibility of success. Fortunately, what I said will not appear now, and I will try my best to compete with Zhao Guanjia for time, It’s just to get ahead of the moment, take a step ahead, and be able to take the initiative everywhere, if I go all out at this time, why can’t I succeed?”

Zhe Yuxun narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice, "I'm just afraid..., whether it's Khitan or Song, they all hope that the Western Regions will maintain the status quo." Yang Hao's gaze became deeper, as if he had pierced through the wall and saw a place far away. After a long time, he smiled lightly and said, "Brother, believe me, even if I don't do this, I will Someone will do it. No one wants a strong and unified regime to emerge here, but such a regime will definitely emerge here. Major events in the world, long-term division must be combined, long-term unity must be divided, and the Western Regions have been divided for too long.

As for Khitan and Song, it is true that they do not want a third strong competitor. However, the competition between them is destined to prevent them from intervening with troops. Once one party intervenes, the other party will immediately change its attitude and become opposed. for support.This is in line with their interests, brother should understand. " Zhe Yuxun was silent. He knew that Yang Hao was telling the truth. No matter whether it was Khitan or Song, with such a powerful opponent by his side, it was impossible to devote all their efforts to the Western Regions. Once they got too deep here, the other side would Gaining the benefits of the fishermen, no matter which one of them can't help but attack the Western Regions first, the other side will be very happy to see Yang Hao form an alliance with it.

If Yang Hao really took all these territories, he would be able to call himself king and emperor, and be on an equal footing with Zhao Guanyi.But for him, what was Fuzhou doing at that time?On this huge territory, the small Fuzhou is just a drop in the ocean. After Linzhou became Yang Hao's jurisdiction, Fuzhou has lost its inevitable meaning of existence. If Yang Hao holds the entire Western Region in his hands, Fuzhou will be He hugged him inside and faced Da Song, only to be in an even more embarrassing situation. Yang Hao stretched out his hand and pulled gently, and the "Peony Map of Wealth and Nobility" slowly slid down, covering up the map.

Yang Hao smiled and said: "Brother, I have been training soldiers and enriching the people in the past two years. I am competing with Song Dynasty for time, before it has enough power to attack me, to make myself stronger; The Western Regions are always in front of the chaos of war, so we need to grow ourselves. Time doesn’t wait, that’s why I assembled the army and Xiazhou. In fact, I’ve already begun to transfer them in turn to adapt to the terrain here through actual combat? Now it’s just a pre-evolution It's just an action." Yang Hao clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Since I have embarked on this road, there is no reason for me to be content with the status quo and make a long-term plan. If I sail against the current, if I don't advance, I will retreat. How can I be contented when I become a grass head king?" In the past, people often used Zhang Yichao to encourage me. Zhang Yichao is a hero of the generation. Yang Hao can’t compare it. I hesitated whether to return to the Northwest. To be Yang Hao number one, never to be Zhang Yichao second. If I want to do it, I will build a kingdom bigger than him, and establish a regime longer than his century-old kingdom."

Zhe Yuxun suddenly smiled strangely, and said softly: "Third brother, you are now the unnamed Northwest King, if you can really win these places, then you will be famous and real, and by then, my prefecture Where should we go?" Yang Hao was stunned, and Zhe Yuxun's tone became even more desolate: "A group of wolves can form a group to resist the threat of a fierce tiger, but between two fierce tigers, how can there be room for a wolf to exist?" Yang Hao said in surprise: "Brother won't think..., you and I love brothers, Yang Hao will not play Fuzhou's idea no matter what."

Zhe Yuxun said with a faint smile: "Zhao Kuangyin once told his father in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty in the Golden Palace, 'Zhe's family lived in the cloud, and later generations became magistrates and state affairs. Into'. In a few years, once you got the Central Plains, didn't you change your mind? I believe in your sincerity at the time, but after the time has passed, will you still think so?" Yang Haodao: "If the Zhao officials want to get the Western Region, they must first take Longyou. If they want to take Longyou, they must first take Linfu. But I am different. My world is in the northwest. If I can get the land of Longyou again, this territory will be completely lost. One body, why do you have to break your promise and seek to seize the prefecture of the elder brother?"

Zhe Yuxun looked at him and said: "In your heart, tolerate my existence? Are you not afraid that one day, I may be against you?" Yang Hao was silent for a while, and Fang said: "To the west of Xiazhou, it is the pastoral land of Tuoba Wei's military department. Before I came to Xiazhou, Tuoba Hanchan, Tuoba Heshao and Jingyou had a close relationship. Although they are forced by my powerful force to completely sever contact with the remnants of Li Guangrui and surrender to me, how do they know that when they have greater interests to gain in the future, they will suddenly strike at my heart? For safety, Brother thinks, should I get rid of them first?"

Zhe Yuxun was full of resentment at first, but he didn't expect Yang Hao to ask him about something suddenly. Hearing what he said, he suddenly felt sad for the death of a rabbit and a fox, and blurted out: "Absurd! If you want to become a hegemony, you must have a mind that accommodates all people. Because they had a close relationship with Li Guangrui, and because they might pose some kind of threat to you, do you want to strike first? You managed to manage such a situation so that all the eight members of the Dangxiang family returned to their hearts. How difficult is it?If you do this, I am afraid that the tribe that was loyal to you will also have a different heart; in the future, no tribe will come to you. Aren't you destroying the Great Wall? "

A slight smile flashed in Yang Hao's eyes, and he said: "The big brother taught me, so, how about Yang Jiye? He is now in charge of Linzhou, Yinzhou, and Luzhou for me, and he is related to you by marriage. With a different heart, the land of the three states changed hands in an instant. This is too dangerous, you say... Should I act first and get rid of him?" Zhe Yuxun finally understood what he meant and just stared at him without saying a word. Yang Hao said again: "There are some things that must be persisted, 'Kong De's appearance, only the Tao is to follow', people who lead the Tao, understand the Tao, and follow the Tao will never overthrow the clouds and rain, and play with the people around them. This way is the foundation of doing things for people. It is rough and simple. If there is no way, then the foundation is not firm, the purpose is unclear, the direction is not stable, and the technique will come out? And the technique is just a skill and method. What kind of method is used depends on what kind of way. Those who have the way but lack the skills will eventually be defeated by others, and those who have the skills but lack the way will inevitably suffer backlash.Yang Hao fled to the northwest with 50,000 weak people. It was only with the help of his eldest brother that he was able to gain a foothold.Yang Hao is based in Luzhou today, and it is inseparable from the great help of his elder brother. Yang Hao will definitely not be able to do the thing of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge. " Yang Hao solemnly said: "Fuzhou is in the hands of Zhejia for a day, Yang Hao will never use troops against Fuzhou." Zhe Yuxun's expression slowed down, and suddenly he smiled bitterly and said, "Third brother, you're being serious. I... have been in a bad mood recently, and my words may have been out of proportion." He sighed softly, and said again: "Of course I can trust you. I just don't know, your descendants, my descendants, in the future... Will they be able to treat each other like you and me?" Yang Hao also sighed softly: "If I have a cruel descendant, maybe he will use troops against Fuzhou, if you have an ambitious descendant, maybe he will use troops against Xiazhou, or, your descendants and my grandchildren will all It's unworthy, another hero will emerge from this northwest land, and will take all the inheritance you and I have left for them, can you and I control the future?" Zhe Yuxun's face was uncertain, and after a long while, he suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, that's not something you and I can control. Let's talk about things we can control, third child, If in your lifetime, you can really unify the Western Regions and lay the foundation for the country, to be honest, by then, even if you don’t have the idea of ​​my prefecture, the tiny prefecture will no longer have the possibility of independent survival. Now, I finally understand what kind of mood Zhong Wen felt when he was severely injured, struggling to survive, and painstakingly arranging a way out for his son." "Brother..." Zhe Yuxun raised his hand to stop his words, stared at him intently, and said in a deep voice: "If I have to, I will never hand over my ancestor's foundation in my hands. But you are right , the world’s major events, the long-term must be united, the long-term must be divided, I... also have to plan for future generations. If..., I mean if, if one day, you can really unify the Western Regions and win the Ninth Five-Year Plan. Brother has the audacity to surrender the prefecture, how will you treat my family?" Yang Hao smiled wryly and said, "Brother, I really don't intend to be in Fuzhou. Besides, what is laying the foundation and establishing a country, calling the king and emperor, such a distant thing, why talk about it?" Zhe Yuxun said hesitantly: "Since it's out of reach, why don't you answer it if I just talk about it?" Yang Hao shook his head helplessly and said: "Okay, okay, if there is such a day, I will give my elder brother a hereditary King Zhelan, okay?" Zhe Yuxun was stunned, and lost his voice: "King Zhelan?" Yang Hao said with a smile: "I heard from Ziyu that the elder brother was originally a descendant of King Zhelan of the Xiongnu. His ancestors were separated from the Huns and became Xianbei. After the fall of the Wei Dynasty, he joined the party with the Tuoba clan of the Xianbei emperor and lived in the world for generations. In the cloud, there is only today, isn’t it?” Zhe Yuxun stroked his iconic Guan Gong beard, and murmured: "Yes, yes, King Zhelan, King Zhelan, the ancestor of my family was originally the king of the Huns. Migration, until now it’s only a state of land, left and right support, stretched, is it just me that Zhe Yuxun is unworthy? Hehe, if I can be a hereditary Zhelan king, I will be worthy of my ancestors, and I will be worthy of my ancestors Children and grandchildren, what else is shameless?" Zhe Yuxun knew that the more Yang Hao developed, the more Fuzhou shrank, but this kind of hidden suppression was the natural choice of business and scholars. He could neither blame Yang Hao nor ask Yang Hao to stop his development and restore Li Guangrui's period. With Yang Hao's continuous expansion and development, the prefecture must be on the verge of extinction, but he absolutely does not want to hand over the inheritance handed over by his ancestors if he has to. However, he not only has to be responsible to his ancestors, but also You have to consider the future of your children and grandchildren, and all kinds of things are entangled in your heart, which is why there are endless contradictions. Now that I have received Yang Hao's commitment, my heart is like a blue sky, and I suddenly become enlightened, and I can't help feeling relieved. Zhao Guangyi's personality is really worrying. If he had to rely on one side, he would of course choose Yang Hao.However, when the Song Dynasty dealt with the surrendered monarch, as the original monarch, he was only granted the title of Marquis or Bo. It is impossible for him to break Yuxun even the title of Marquis or Bo. , after three generations, the family is bound to fall, and Yang Hao is a hereditary and irreplaceable Zhelan King when he opens his mouth. There is no worry about the future, so what is he dissatisfied with? Thinking of this point, Zhe Yuxun couldn't help but turn sorrow into joy. Yang Hao saw him squinting his phoenix eyes and stroking his beard. He clearly looked like the Second Master Guan was reborn, but he had a sly smile on his face. He looked extremely treacherous. something?" Zhe Yuxun suddenly woke up, and quickly corrected his expression: "Of course not, this time, I will not only remind you to gather troops to the west, but also to be careful of Zhao Guan's house in the east. The more important thing is...my little sister Yu... ..." Yang Hao immediately became nervous when he heard this: "Ziyu, what happened to Ziyu? What happened?" Zhe Yuxun rolled his big eyes, and snorted coldly: "What's the matter? Third child, you're so unkind, my sister...she's twenty this year!" Zhe Yuxun said heartbrokenly: "Girls from other people's families become mothers at the age of fifteen, but my sister..., a woman at twenty, is like a defeated dog!" Yang Hao rolled his eyes and thought, "As for it, she's just a 20-year-old freshman primary school girl, why didn't I see how she looks like a loser." But Zhe Yuxun said worriedly: "Twenty years old, you are not allowed to be married, can you stop people from making irresponsible remarks? An elder brother is like a father, and I don't care who cares about her life's affairs? Originally, I am the woman's parent. , there is no reason to take the initiative to make a kiss, but...but..." Zhe Yuxun suddenly stared with phoenix eyes, and said seriously: "Today, I put down this old face and go all out. Tell me, do you mean anything to my sister? With my little sister's beauty, is she not good enough for you?" Yang Hao's provocative style of pointing Jiangshan just now disappeared completely, and he said in a dull voice: "Big... big brother, Ziyu's identity... You know, I... I already have four wives and concubines." Zhe Yuxun waved his hand and said: "What is this? Your elder brother and I have nine wives and concubines now. As long as you don't wrong her, after you get married, help her to be an ordinary wife. Dong'er is your first wife, we can't compare, As long as you don’t lower your head than others, what’s wrong with that?” Yang Hao was sweating profusely, and said: "I...I didn't mean that, the problem is...Ziyu is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and her sex is like a fire. I think she...she is somewhat similar to General Cheng Shixiong's wife, I don't like... I don't like my husband having three wives and four concubines..." Zhe Yuxun furrowed his eyebrows and said, "I'm talking about third child, why are you so stupid?" Yang Hao said blankly: "Huh?" Zhe Yuxun said: "Is the unrealistic thinking at the age of fifteen and Jiji comparable to that of an old girl at the age of twenty? How many marriages have been told her by the elders in the family, but she has rejected them all? Isn't it still the same? Missing you? You have already married a fourth wife and concubine, and you have even given birth to several children, and you can still divorce your wife. Since she still can't let you go, even if she is a little unhappy, as long as you come to propose marriage, she will still marry you. Can you refuse? I can see how depressed she is usually. How can I not understand her mind? Her nephews are trained like three grandchildren by her every day. Where did this unknown fire come from? Because of you.I have asked her to hand over all the duties of the Zhe family, which means she is waiting to be married.This time when I came to Xiazhou, I specially asked her to come with me. If she doesn't want to see you, with her temperament, do you think she will come?In the end, it didn't come quickly, she was twenty years old, and she became an old girl. Do you think she is not in a hurry?But you elm bump, you can't ask her to take the initiative to agree with you, can you? " Yang Hao's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he said repeatedly: "Is that really the case? Is it really the case? Yes, what she said just now seemed to point... If she hadn't moved her mind to get married, how could she have come to me? What about the mansion..." Yang Hao slapped his forehead, and said overjoyedly: "Brother is right, I am really a fan of those who are involved, and those who are watching are clear." "Ziyu... Ziyu is really willing to let go of his heart knot, willing to live together with me, and grow old together?" Yang Hao was elated, rubbed his hands, and then asked anxiously: "Brother, then... ...Then what should I do now? Propose marriage to you immediately?" Zhe Yuxun stroked his beard and muttered: "Girls are tender-skinned. If you propose marriage now, it seems like she sent it to you by herself. Ziyu will definitely feel shy. In my opinion, it's better..." As soon as he said this, Xue Er rode on the back of the little white wolf, hugging its neck, and burst into the hall with a smile on her face. Xiao Yuan and Xing Er hurriedly chased after her. The general was in the hall, but unexpectedly no one was taking care of Xue'er, so he bowed and retreated. Xue'er exclaimed happily: "Daddy, Daddy, the game played by Er Niangniang and the aunt in black is so interesting, I want Daddy to teach me." Yang Hao leaned over and hugged her, kissed her on the cheek, and asked, "What game are you playing?" Xue'er danced and gestured: "The second lady and the aunt in black are playing games in the flower hall. They are jumping around, jumping around, you strike me with a sword, I punch you, it's very fun, and then the two The empress grabbed the hand of the aunt in black and snatched her sword, the aunt in black was ashamed, and the second empress said that this was the kung fu taught to her by her father, and then the aunt in black was like a A butterfly, whoosh, flew out of the window and disappeared..." Zhe Yuxun stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Little girl Xue'er is not very old, she can already learn to speak, hehehe, your second lady is Mrs. Yan, right? Who is that aunt in black?" Yang Hao took a look at Zhe Yuxun, then suddenly hugged Xue'er, flew out of the door and disappeared.Xue'er shouted in a fuss from outside the door: "Wow! Daddy shuddered, flying faster than auntie in black..." Zhe Yuxun was stunned for a moment, but suddenly realized that he rushed towards the door with a stride, the little white wolf hurriedly chased after his master leaving, Zhe Yuxun kicked it away unceremoniously, and Throwing away strides, chasing after Yang Hao...
Suizhou, Governor's Mansion. In the boudoir of Li Pilu's ninth concubine, Hua Feidie. Hua Feidie got up from the tent, grabbed a piece of clothing, put it on her body, sat lazily in front of the dressing table, grabbed the jade comb and lightly combed her hair, but after only a few strokes, she stopped, faintly sighed. She is still in full bloom, her body is plump and well-proportioned, her appearance is beautiful and charming, exuding a mature and charming charm, even the towering breasts half covered by the silk robe, and a deep cleavage between the tender snow and greasy jade are enough to make people intoxicated . In the past two years, the governor's mansion has taken in several concubines. Although the man they serve has changed, her concubine Jiu is still the most favored among all the women, but she is not happy at all. In the slender top-grade bronze mirror, the flowery beauty has her hair hanging down her shoulders, and there are two touches of blush on her face. She is satisfied and lazy after having sex with Yunyu, but her brows are lonely. She is just a weak woman, a woman who relies on beauty and men to survive.She had always suspected that the death of her eldest brother had something to do with Li Jiyun, who had just satisfied her animal desire and was lying on the couch, but she didn't dare to show any doubts, and had to serve him and please him with all her heart, just to survive. However, the lonely city of Suizhou has almost become a dead city. She doesn't know if Li Jiyun will leave after squeezing out the last bit of people's fat in Suizhou, and she doesn't know if this city will die overnight. Fallen by Yang Jiye or Zhe Yuxun.At that time, she, a weak woman, will become a plaything in whose hands? Gently coiling her hair, the jade hairpin was gently inserted halfway, she sighed faintly, and put down her hands again, letting the black hair fall down again, her black eyebrows curled up in smoke, full of sorrow. A big hand suddenly touched her fragrant shoulder, Hua Feidie's delicate body trembled, she quickly put on a coquettish smile, looked back and said softly: "My lord..." Li Jiyun smiled with his black bear-like chest bare, and asked: "What are you thinking, I think you seem to have a lot of things on your mind?" "I..." Hua Feidie hesitated to speak, finally sighed softly, and boldly said quietly: "My lord, my concubine... is worried about my lord and about me in Suizhou. In the past two years, Suizhou There is no tax for the common people, no business contacts, the four cities are closed, like a dead city, people starve to death every day on the streets, how long can we last?" Li Jiyun was moved by her tenderness, and the big hand that reached out to her chest didn't knead her roughly as before, but just gently held the jade peak, and said softly: "Don't worry, you are my Li Jiyun's favorite Beloved woman, no matter where I go, I will take you with me." Hua Feidie's expression changed, and she blurted out: "My lord is leaving?" Immediately, she woke up from a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly said: "Ah, I don't dare to ask the lord about business indiscriminately." Li Jiyun said: "It's okay to tell you. For the past two years, do you think I've been hiding in Suizhou and pretending to be a turtle? Hehe! I'm just waiting for an opportunity. Jingzhou is over, Youzhou is also over, and some remnants have fled to Guazhou , Shazhou, I, Li Jiyun, are beyond my reach, and I can't command them anymore. With a mere Suizhou, even if I have the ability to reach the sky, who can I fight against? I have been waiting, I have been waiting..." Li Jiyun smiled mysteriously and said, "Now, I finally don't have to wait any longer. Soon, my chance will come." There was a dangerous and proud look in his eyes, and he said: "There is a big man who is a hundred times stronger than Yang Hao, and he has arranged a way out for me. I can follow that secret path, away from Suizhou, to a very safe place. .” He straightened up and said proudly: "When I get there, someone will provide me with money, food, armor, weapons..., and provide everything I need. With food, I can call soldiers, and with money, I can Buy horses. With armor and weapons, I can immediately arm an army, Yang Hao, I am the same as me two years ago, and I am now the same Yang Hao as I was two years ago." He grinned grimly and said: "I will definitely go back to Xiazhou and cut off Yang Hao's dog's head with my own hands to pay homage to my father's spirit in heaven. I will also let his wives and concubines be my women, trample them hard, and let his children be me." Yang Hao will not live in peace under the nine springs, hahahaha..." He said with hatred, his big hands subconsciously clenched Hua Feidie's fragrant shoulders, as if it was Yang Hao's head, Hua Feidie kept clenching his silver teeth, struggling to hold on, until the pain turned pale, and in the end it was really Couldn't bear it anymore, and couldn't help screaming, Li Jiyun woke up now, let go of his hand, and smiled treacherously again: "And this is just my retreat in case of failure. I am planning a big event now. This If things are successful, this day will change soon, I will no longer have to pretend to be a pitiful person, hide my head and show my tail here, and don’t have to run away like a lost dog. Challenge Yang Hao!" After Li Jiyun finished speaking, he looked up to the sky and let out a wild, sinister, and complacent smile...
