Monument Yangmen

Chapter 586 Dongsheng Mansion

"Crack~"

The soldier of the Datong Army slapped himself hard, and growled, "Your subordinate is indeed an idiot."

Then, he raised his head and asked Lao Wanggui expectantly, "Then what should I do next?"

Old Wang Gui said coldly: "Give the horses and furs you captured to the wild beggars, and then go into the city to snatch them again."

The soldiers of the Datong Army said in astonishment: "Isn't that a cheap party member..."

Old Wang Gui said with a dark face: "You know what, the wild beggar tribe still owes money to Huhou, and they have promised to hand over part of the captured money to Huhou after the war. We will send it back when the time comes. Your things are equivalent to Temporarily stored in the hands of party members."

"My subordinate understands."

Under Lao Wang Gui's suggestion, the soldiers of the Datong Army handed over the captured horses and furs to the party members, and then entered the city again to loot them.

……

Not far from Ancient City.

Ye Qiqianbo, who had been waiting for news, finally saw the scouts galloping from the direction of Guye City.

"how?"

When the scout knelt down on one knee under Ye Beggan Bo's knee, he hurriedly spoke.

The scout said in a deep voice: "Guye City, it's down with a drum. Now it's under control."

"it is good!"

The wild beggar called out "Hello" and laughed loudly.

"Hahaha... The army is moving forward, keep going."

From Yeqi Ganbo's point of view, the Datong Army took down Guye City, as if they had handed over their votes.

From then on, he will be labeled as reliable.

With the Datong army in the back, plus the heavy armored cavalry as the forward.

The wild beggar is full of high spirits and confidence for no reason.

In one day, three cities in Xiazhou were broken.

Occupies one-third of Xiazhou.

Li Jiqian didn't expect Yeqi Ganbo to be so strong.

When he learned that one-third of Xiazhou had fallen, his jaw almost dropped.

"How could this be?"

Li Jiqian was scheming, and he deeply understood that a battle between the Li clan and the wild beggars was inevitable.

Therefore, he had already sent people to investigate the strength of the wild beggar tribe, and deployed layers on the territory of the Li clan.

Li Jiqian felt full of confidence that he could deal with the wild beggar tribe with every confidence.

But he didn't expect that the fighting power shown by the wild beggar tribe deeply shocked him.

Li Deming stood in front of Li Jiqian with a livid face, and said in a deep voice: "According to the reports from the spies under his command, the old dog Yeqiqianpo, for some reason, has an extra heavy armored cavalry of a thousand men. It is well equipped , Far surpassing the Eagle Guards under my command. Although they are both heavy armored cavalry, my Eagle Guards are somewhat weak in front of the heavy armored cavalry under Yeqi Ganbo's command.

and……"

Li Jiqian asked, "And what?"

Li Deming said solemnly: "Moreover, Yeqi Ganbo seems to have reached a deal with Yang Yansi of Daizhou. Yeqi Ganbo handed over Dongsheng Prefecture to Yang Yansi, and Yang Yansi sent [-] soldiers to help them deal with us. .”

"Yang Yansi?!"

Mentioning Yang Yansi's name, Li Jiqian's eyes flashed with malice, "It's him again..."

In the previous battle of Linzhou, the Li clan had suffered heavy losses, which had already touched the root.

This made Li Jiqian hate Zhejia.

Of course, Zhe and Li have a long-standing grievance. No matter how deep this hatred is, it is not painful or itchy for both of them.

Anyway, they are all sworn enemies, and they are all thinking of ways to kill each other.

While resenting Zhejia, Li Jiqian learned the truth of the matter from some channels, and only then did he know that the real instigator of the Battle of Linzhou was Yang Yansi.

So he also hated Yang Yansi by the way.

And Yang Yansi and Zhe Yuxun are uncle and nephew, so Li Jiqian hates Yang Yansi even more.

At the same time, Li Jiqian hated Yang Yansi even more after he learned that Yang Yansi had taken in the vicious woman who made the Li family father and son cut off their descendants.

Now, Yang Yansi is intervening in the party's civil war again, disrupting Li Jiqian's layout, which makes Li Jiqian wish to have Yang Yansi's cramps stripped of his skin.

"Yang Yansi, I will crush you to ashes..."

Li Jiqian was gnashing his teeth and screaming.

Li Deming said in a low voice: "Father, the most urgent task is to deal with the war against the wild beggars..."

Li Jiqian said in a cold voice with dark eyes: "Since the wild beggar Ganbo wants to seek death, let him die... The Dingnan army has been dormant for many years, and all the clans in this party have forgotten who is the leader of the party."

Li Deming exclaimed, "Father, didn't you keep the Dingnan Army, and plan to take a share when the Song Dynasty conquered Liao again? Now that the strength of the Dingnan Army has been exposed, wouldn't that be a failure?"

In the Later Zhou Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty, three emperors in two dynasties, made many northern expeditions to the Liao Kingdom.

This gave the ambitious Li Jiqian a chance.

Li Jiqian firmly believes that the Song Dynasty will attack Liao again, and the scale will be even larger.

So he has been secretly accumulating strength, ready to seize the opportunity to share a piece of meat.

Therefore, in the previous battle of Linzhou, Li Jiqian did not reveal the strength of the Dingnan army even though he was attacked by someone.

It can be seen that Li Jiqian's plan is very large.

After Li Jiqian heard his son's words, he gritted his teeth and said in a cold tone: "Now that the Li clan is in the midst of life and death, they can't take care of so much.

It's a pity... I have been planning for more than ten years, and this moment is about to be exposed in front of people.

All of this was caused by Yang Yansi! "

An extremely small voice came to Li Jiqian's ears, even Li Deming didn't hear it.

After Li Jiqian heard the small voice, he told Li Deming: "Go down and pass on my military order, let Ji Peng lead the Dingnan army to go out."

"Go here, baby."

As soon as Li Deming left, Li Jiqian knocked on the wall behind his throne with gloomy eyes.

After a while, there was a slight echo from inside the wall.

It seems to be a code, when the code matches.

A portal appeared on the wall.

After Li Jiqian entered the portal, the portal closed automatically.

Behind the portal is a secret room.

An oil lamp was lit in the secret room, and a soft blanket was spread beside the oil lamp.

A futon lay on the blanket.

An old monk sat cross-legged on a futon, folded his hands, and chanted sutras with his eyes closed.

Beside the old monk, stood a skinny and dark-skinned monk. The monk's eyes were shining like two daggers with cold light, which could not be drawn.

After entering the secret room, Li Jiqian circled the monk with vigilant eyes, and asked the old monk in a low voice, "Are you looking for me?"

The old monk opened his eyes, his eyes were like torches, full of light of wisdom, which did not match his face full of age spots at all.

The old monk made a handprint and whispered, "Buddha of Infinite Life. Just now, I heard Donor Li mention Yang Yansi, and I had something in mind, so I specially called Donor Li to come and talk about it..."

Li Jiqian narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

The old monk said with a benevolent smile, "I just heard Li benefactor mentioned Yang Yansi, and his words were full of hatred. Li benefactor should know that the old monk also has a relationship with Yang Yansi to end.

If benefactor Li is willing to help the old monk, the old monk can help you get rid of Yang Yansi's serious trouble. "

Li Jiqian sneered and said, "Help you? Help you build the so-called Buddhist country? Back then, your two younger brothers set foot in the northwest just to establish the so-called Buddhist country, and were killed in Fengzhou by Yang Yansi. Don't you want to follow them?" follow in the footsteps of

Mentioning that the two younger brothers died at the hands of Yang Yansi, the old monk frowned obviously, then shook his head and said, "Benefactor Li, I am different from the two younger brothers. The Buddhist kingdom in my mind is only in the Western Regions, not in the Northwest. I have no heart Set foot in the place that Li benefactor covets."

Li Jiqian sarcastically said: "Then why do you still come to the Northwest? If you didn't covet the Northwest, just for Yang Yansi, you wouldn't let you, a living Buddha of the Bon religion, set foot in the Northwest, would you?

With the power of your Bon religion, you can send a monk with high martial arts skills to assassinate Yang Yansi.

For example, the one next to you, I think, is the most suitable seedling to assassinate Yang Yansi. "

A cold light flashed in the wise eyes of the old monk, "To tell you the truth, Yang Yansi was originally the black tiger god who protected my Buddha. , not only to get rid of Yang Yansi who betrayed my Buddha, but also to welcome back my Buddha's treasure to punish the evil thunder."

Li Jiqian said thoughtfully: "Then you can go directly to Yang Yansi, why are you relying on me?"

The old monk smiled and said, "Firstly, the old monk lives in the northwest and is not familiar with the place where he lived, so he needs the guidance of benefactor Li. Second, the situation in the Western Regions is currently chaotic, and the old monk wants to form a good relationship with benefactor Li."

Li Jiqian asked suspiciously: "Good fate? Good fate like you said before?"

The old monk nodded, "That's right, I will help you stabilize the situation in the northwest. After this is done, you will send troops to the Western Regions to help the old monk pacify the countries in the Western Regions."

Li Jiqian immediately said: "Well, I will trust you once. I don't need those fierce monks of your Bon religion, I just want Yang Yansi's head.

Yang Yansi not only has cause and effect with you, but also has a deep hatred with me.

And this son is against me everywhere, forcing me to take out the trump card that I have been hiding for many years.

Broken my many good things.

As soon as he dies, I can rearrange the layout.At that time, all the difficulties standing in front of me will be easily resolved.

As long as I stabilize the northwest, I will send troops to the Western Regions to help you wipe out the enemies in the Western Regions. "

"So good."

A look of joy flashed in the old monk's eyes, he nodded slowly, and softly ordered to the monk beside him: "Dala, can you hear what benefactor Li said?"

Dala monk nodded silently.

"Let's do it..."

The old monk whispered something, and then closed his eyes again.

Dala monk stared at Li Jiqian in a daze.

Li Jiqian understood what Monk Dala meant, and left the secret room with a cold snort.

After leaving the secret room, Li Jiqian stared back at the place where the secret room was, and said with a sarcasm: "What kind of Buddha treasure punishes the evil thunder, nonsense. It is clearly because of the power of the thunder in Yang Yansi's hand. He put it on the Buddha Bao's name, do you want to keep it for yourself?
A fool's dream..."

Almost everyone who has heard or seen the power of gunpowder in Yang Qi's hand wants to keep the gunpowder for himself.

Li Jiqian's plan is very big, how could he deliver this weapon of war to others.

Li Jiqian said that he didn't want the help of monks from the Bon religion, but when it came to the critical moment, he didn't mind letting the old monk get thousands of monks to die for him.

Anyway, it wasn't his own who died, so he didn't feel bad at all.

However, it seems that Li Jiqian is plotting against the old monk, so why isn't the old monk plotting against Li Jiqian.

The old monk said that he was not interested in the Northwest, but once Li Jiqian was weak and the old monk had the opportunity to take it all at once, how could the old monk give up this opportunity?

The cooperative relationship between the two can be seen as seeking skin with a tiger and using each other.

However, in comparison.

The cooperation between Yang Qi and Ye Qi Gan Bo is much more sincere.

Yang Qi sent the Datong Army to help Yeqiganbo fight, and Yeqiganbo also happily handed over Dongshengzhou and the land of a hundred miles outside Haoshuichuan to Yang Qi.

Yang Wu, who was stationed outside Dongsheng Prefecture, led more than 9000 cavalry soldiers and [-] members of the Agricultural Reclamation Corps to officially set foot on the land of Dongsheng Prefecture after receiving Yang Qi's order.

As Yang Qi expected, the entire Dongsheng Prefecture was almost emptied by the wild beggars.

From entering Dongshengzhou to crossing the Haoshui River, within a radius of several hundred miles, not a single sheep or cow can be seen.

All that remains are empty cities and villages.

The usable things in the empty cities and villages were basically emptied, and most of the unusable things were destroyed.

Not only that, but even [-]% of the population in Dongsheng Prefecture was taken away.

The remaining 3%, less than [-] people, are all old and weak women and children who are useless to party members.

After Yang Wu discovered this situation, he immediately asked someone to send a letter to Yang Qi, asking Yang Qi to dispatch a batch of grain.

Before the letter was delivered to Yang Qi, the local officials dispatched by Kou Zhun had already arrived in Dongsheng Prefecture.

Dongsheng Prefecture, plus the land of hundreds of miles outside Haoshuichuan, is called a prefecture.

Dongsheng Mansion.

There are sixteen counties under the government.

Kou Zhun, the magistrate of Dongsheng Mansion, will be temporarily replaced by Kou Zhun, and the regiment training envoy will be temporarily replaced by Yang Wu.

In addition, after Kou Zhun cleared out some second and fifth officials in Fuxing Mansion and Datong Mansion, more than 100 officials were cleared out, and all of them were stuffed into Dongsheng Mansion in one go.

After the transfer, there were not enough officials in Fuxing Mansion and Datong Mansion. Many people held two positions, and some even held three positions.

But Dongsheng Mansion, a newly recovered mansion, is fully equipped with officials.

What is even more astonishing is that the average number of people under the control of each official in Dongsheng Mansion is less than 300 people.

In order for these officials to take up their duties better and fulfill their obligations.

Kou Zhun thoughtfully left their family members to live in Fuxing Mansion.

Yang Qi thoughtfully equipped them with personal guards.

In short, for a long time to come, these officials will lead [-] old and weak women and children to live on hundreds of miles of land.

……

"Too extravagant..."

Early in the morning, Kou Zhun rushed to the Fuxing Martial Arts Academy full of righteous indignation, and wailed while patting the table in Yang Qi's study.

For Kou Zhun to stand in front of Yang Qi and pat the table when he least wanted to see Yang Qi, it is enough to show how insane he is when he says it is too extravagant.

"No matter men, women, old or young, regardless of age, one person has 99 mu of land! [-] mu! Those old men and women, how can they grow it. It is a waste to plant one mu and waste [-] mu.

In addition, 3 of them cut down the trees on the two mountains, and built [-] wooden houses for each person.

It is said that the wooden boards of each wooden house are more than one foot thick, which is almost as thick as the wall made of rammed earth.

It's too extravagant..."
