Eight Young Masters of Yang Family Generals

Yang Yanrong smiled and said, "Don't worry, Dad, I will be careful myself."

Seeing that his son was determined to go, Yang Ye's face became more worried, and he said, "Balang, is a woman more important than your life? You already have Yuchu, Ke'er, Princess Anyang, if you If there is a mistake in this trip, what do you tell them to do?"

"Yes, yes, big brother, you must not be fooled by the wicked."

"Master brother, you have to think clearly. Liaoman is no match for our Great Song Dynasty. Enemies are everywhere there. If someone finds out your identity, then..."

The brothers persuaded him one after another, but Yang Yanrong was determined to go, and he still said firmly: "Everyone, don't worry about me. Could it be that I can't make it out with my ability? Hehe, Dad, brothers, come and have a drink! "

Although Yang Ye is his father, he has always known that this son is determined, and no one can stop him from what he is going to do. I will bring it with you, and I will have someone to take care of me along the way. What do you think?"

When Lao Wu and Lao Liu heard this, they were immediately overjoyed. Although they also knew that this was going to be a disaster, but they followed the elder brother and went to the Liaoman territory to make a big fuss. Even if they died, they would die with a smile.

"Father, let me go! My martial arts are better than all of them!" Yang Yanhui, the third child, will quit. Why can the fifth and sixth child go, but I can't?

Yang Yanguang also said: "I want to go too!"

"Father, let me go!" Yang Yanping said solemnly: "Although they are good at martial arts, they are still a little tender."

Yang Yanrong said with a smile: "I accept the brothers' wishes. This time I can only go alone. It will be inconvenient if there are too many people. Besides, can you beat me? Can I run faster?"

Hearing what he said, all the brothers immediately froze. Compared with you, a pervert, we are normal people.

Yang Ye nodded, looked at his son, and said solemnly: "If there is any accident, remember to leave quickly. I think it will not be difficult to escape safely with your skills." He said to the fifth son The old six said: "You don't have to fight anymore. What Balang said is right. If there are too many people going, it will be troublesome. Going with your skills will only make Balang feel scruples."

What the father said immediately hit the brothers hard, and the five and six who had hoped to go together were even more dejected and stopped talking.

Yang Yanrong smiled and said: "What are you doing, what are you doing? It's like I'm going to die. Don't you feel relieved about me, Master? I'm not here to fight the Liao people, but to pick them up. Come on, let's Have a good drink today."

"Come, drink!" The brothers responded one after another, and the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became lively.

Yang Ye was very worried. Although he knew that this son was very capable, witty, and flexible, it was no different than in Song Dynasty.He was not happy, and he didn't even have much interest in drinking. Watching his sons drink one after another, he felt even more uncomfortable.Sighing secretly, without saying hello to his sons, he quietly left the camp, stepped out of the camp gate, and soon reached the wall of Yanmen Pass.

Yang Yanrong laughed loudly, pouring all the water on the brothers, and within a short while, all the six brothers were lying under the table.Yang Yanrong stood up, he had already noticed that his father had gone out.Get out of the camp, call a guard and let him lead him to find his father.

Yang Yanrong followed the guard all the way through, and saw his father standing on the top of the city watching from a distance, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

There are nine frontiers in the world, and Yanmen is the leader.Yanmenguan is surrounded by dangerous mountains and stands high on Gouzhu Mountain.On the east and west wings, there are undulating mountains.The Great Wall on the ridge is meandering, going flat in the east, Bauhinia, Daoma Sanguan, reaching Youyan, connecting the vast sea; west going to Xuangangkou, Ningwuguan, Piantouguan, and to the Yellow River.There are two east and west gates in the pass, both of which are built with huge bricks, flying geese through the clouds, with a majestic bearing, and two plaques of "natural danger" and "geographical advantage" are respectively carved on the forehead.

"Black clouds overwhelm the city and the city is about to be destroyed, and the light of the armor opens to the golden scales of the sun. The sound of horns fills the sky in the autumn scenery, and the rouge is stuffed with rouge to make the night purple. The half-rolled red flag is facing Yishui, and the frost is heavy and the drum is cold. Report to the king's golden platform Shangyi, bring Yulong to die for the king." Yang Ye whispered softly, waving his finger to the surrounding mountains, and said in a deep voice: "Balang, look at every inch of land here, I have left the blood of my son of the Han family! Over the past hundred years, countless heroes who have defended our land in China have fought against the barbarians here. In this life, I, Yang Ye, am lucky enough to be able to see the Yanmen Gate and keep the Liao people outside the Yanmen Gate. Even if I die one day , you don’t have to be sad, because my death is worth it!”

Yang Yanrong couldn't help having a sore nose when he heard this, and said with a smile, "Father, how did you know I'm here?"

Yang Ye turned around, waved his hand, and the soldiers guarding around retreated one after another.He strode to Yang Yanrong's side, held his son's shoulders, and said seriously: "Balang, you must come back alive!"

Yang Yanrong was shocked all over, only to see that the old man's face was covered with tears at some point, and he was looking at him eagerly.

"Yes! I will!" Yang Yanrong nodded heavily.

Yang Ye suddenly laughed, very happily, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, and said loudly: "Son, when you come back, come and guard the Yanmen with me, okay?"

Yang Yanrong turned his face away, sniffed, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid I will disappoint you, father-in-law. My emperor's father-in-law has appointed me as the vanguard of the Liao Dynasty, leading five thousand troops, and will set off with the army in three months to retake Yan. Cloud sixteen states."

Yang Ye was taken aback for a moment, and thought to himself, why didn't I know?Immediately, he was overjoyed again, and said: "I know! It must be because of the [-] horses! Balang, you don't know what the [-] horses you want for my Song Dynasty mean! It will be an attack Invincible iron-blooded cavalry! Very good, you are finally willing to contribute to the country! I still can’t believe it, my Yang family has been generals for generations, how can there be a descendant of a merchant!”

Zhao Guangyi was going to send troops to the Liao Kingdom, and he did a great job of keeping it secret. Now even Yang Ye doesn't know about it, and it seems that the Liao people don't even know about it.It seems that he wants to catch the Liao people by surprise!Yang Yanrong thought about it, and he had nothing to hide from this old man, so he told about the cannon he made.

Yang Ye was stunned, and lost his voice: "There is such a sharp weapon in this world? I have never seen it before, and I have never heard of it. If it hadn't come from your mouth, I couldn't believe it was true! My Song Army has cannons to help out, it must be Liao Man will be defeated, haha, this is really the best news I heard today! Son, you are the pride of my old Yang family! Dad is proud of you!"

Yang Yanrong smiled wryly, he never thought that he would become the father of cannon!In this era, the appearance of such a heaven-defying god of war will inevitably change the way of war.The siege battle that used to cost human life became easier because of this. As long as a few cannons lined up and bombarded the city gate, it would be overwhelming and irresistible!

Yang Ye laughed again: "Looks like I have to ask the officials for a few cannons, and then I'll line up at the top of the city to see if the Liao Man dares to come and harass me at Yanmen."

Yang Yanrong chuckled, and said, "Father, cannons are really overkill for defending the city. When I have time, I will develop some small cannons, which are more powerful than the current ones. , Thousands of cannons fired directly at the Liao cavalry, ensuring that they would be inescapable and inescapable."

Looking at his son, Yang Ye suddenly felt that he was getting old. He sighed and said, "It seems that I am really useless!"

Yang Yanrong smiled and said: "Dad, you are in your prime, why are you useless? I heard from the emperor's father-in-law that this time he will attack Liao, 30 troops will be assembled, 15 forbidden troops will be assembled, and your Yanmen Army will be 15. To be handsome, my other father-in-law, Pan Mei, will be the supervisor of the army, marching northward, and must take back Yanyun. So you can't escape this time, father. When the time comes, we father and son will compare each other on the battlefield to see who Hit fast!"

Yang Ye felt relieved when he heard the words, it seems that the officials haven't forgotten me yet!Cao and Pan led the army, and Yang Ye was trustworthy. Both veterans were capable of recruiting and fighting well, and they had accumulated countless achievements.One is the king of Taiyuan and the other is the Duke of Dai.Moreover, the relationship between Cao and Pan is harmonious, and there is no danger of falling out of harmony.Yang Ye said with a smile: "The government has appointed you as a pioneer, what a unique vision! Is there anyone in this world who is more suitable to be a pioneer than you? Hehe, I heard that your iron-point steel gun weighs [-] catties , good guy, you are already invincible in this world!"

Yang Yanrong nodded, smiled and said: "Father, my five thousand sons are training day and night. After three months, I promise to surprise you!"

Yang Ye said with a smile: "I naturally believe that my son Yang Ye is not good enough? Hey, where are your brothers? Why didn't they follow you?" He glanced around, and there were six sons I don't see them all, and I feel very strange.Those six boys have a good relationship with Hachiro, these seven people are going to stay together, no matter where Hachiro is, the others will definitely be by his side.

Yang Yanrong said: "Where is he my opponent? I'm all drunk, and he's fast asleep right now."

What he said made both father and son laugh.

Yang Yanrong rested overnight at Yanmen Gate, and early the next morning, his father Yang Ye changed his official documents, pretended to be a businessman, and left the gate.Before leaving, Yang Ye warned him carefully, for fear that his son would mess around there.

Yang Yanrong bid farewell to his father and brothers, and rode a white horse alone on the mountain road.Twenty miles across is the Liao camp, where tens of thousands of troops are stationed. Yang Yanrong looked up and saw that there were densely packed tents, and countless cooking smoke rose up. I think the Liao people are cooking breakfast!

"Stop, who is it?" Two Liao soldiers holding scimitars stopped Yang Yanrong.

"Hehe, two big soldiers, a little meaning is not a respect!" Yang Yanrong chuckled, turned over two ingots of silver and put them into the hands of the two Liao soldiers.

Yang Yanrong looked very young, only sixteen or seventeen years old, and had a smile on his face, which made people feel better at first sight. The two Liao soldiers weighed the money in their hands and looked around. Quickly put the money into the pocket.

"Who are you? Why are you here? Do you have a copy from Manzi Song? Take it out and have a look!" Now that the money was collected, the two Liao soldiers put away their scimitars in a more polite tone. .One of the leaders asked in harmony.

Yang Yanrong smiled, took out the official document prepared by his father, and handed it over.This thing is genuine, not like when fake documents were flying all over the sky in later generations.

Seeing that the official document was correct, the leading soldier clasped his fists and said, "So you are a businessman, why did you run out alone?".Although Song and Liao are at war, the exchanges among private businessmen don’t care whether you are fighting or not. You still go back and forth between Song and Liao. The soldier didn't suspect anything.

Yang Yanrong said with a smile: "My elder brother is in the salt tea business in Liao, and he hasn't returned for a month. My family was very worried, so they asked me to go and have a look."

The Liao Kingdom lacked salt, iron, tea, silk, etc., and would often import a large amount from the Song Dynasty. The annual transaction between the two countries was no less than several million, and these guards had been seen a lot for a long time.I heard that this young man is actually in the salt and tea business at home, so he is a nobleman from Daliao!The leading soldier didn't dare to neglect, and said to Yang Yanrong, "Please wait a moment".He quickly took Yang Yanrong's official document and left.

Yang Yanrong nodded and said, "Thank you, brother!", he also knew that this person was going to change his official papers.Later, when I arrived in the Liao Kingdom, there was no official document, but it was difficult to move a single step.

Yang Yanrong waited for a while, and the soldier came over with the document in his hand, handed it to him, and said: "Everything is done, please go ahead, my lord!"

Yang Yanrong didn't talk nonsense, got on the horse and left.There were two soldiers talking from behind: This white horse is really a steed, even better than our general's horse!

"That's right, you don't even look at what other people do, rich businessman, you know? Can we poor soldiers compare with others?"

……

Yang Yanrong shook his head, quite satisfied with the attitude of these soldiers. It seems that not all Liao people are barbarians.I remembered that in the Song Dynasty, everyone called the Liao people the Liao Man. I didn’t expect that in the territory of the Liao Kingdom, the Liao people also called the Song people the Song Manzi. Ha ha, it’s really funny.

After crossing the border, there are still several checkpoints behind, because with the official documents issued by the Liao border army, it can be said that it is unimpeded to pass through the states and counties along the way.Soon, Yang Yanrong came to the future Beijing, which is now Youdu Mansion.And it was three days earlier than the ten days mentioned in the letter.

Youdufu is one of the five capitals of the Liao Kingdom, called Nanjing, which is now the area around Beijing.There are so many Han people in this area, it can be said that the Han people accounted for the vast majority, but because they were ruled by the Khitan people for too long, they all regarded themselves as Liao people.Of course, Chinese is still the main language, otherwise, Yang Yanrong would be blind, and I'm afraid he wouldn't even find anyone to ask for directions.
