Eight Young Masters of Yang Family Generals

After torturing these bastards for the whole night, Yang Yanrong ordered the troops to retreat back to the camp.

When he lay down again in that little den, the guards around him didn't dare to chat anymore, they stood on guard in an orderly manner, and didn't dare to watch his jokes there anymore.

Sleeping until dawn, Yang Yanrong was kicked awake by his aunt Yang Paifeng.

"Slacker, the sun is on your ass, why don't you get up?" After a whole night of rest, the tired look on her face was gone, and there was a rosy glow on her snow-white face, maybe it was because of the sun, Still a little shy inside.

Yang Yanrong grinned, got out of the warm bed, and hurried out to wash up.Only then did Liu Hanzhang and a few soldiers leave the barracks.

The Luding Bridge on the banks of the Dadu River was originally an important passage across the Dadu River.But it has not been repaired at this time, and it will have to wait until the Qing Dynasty hundreds of years later.Therefore, to cross the Dadu River, we can only pass through Anshunchang.Because it is an important ferry on the Dadu River, located on the south bank of the central part of the Dadu River.On both sides of the Dadu River are lofty mountains, the river is turbulent, and the waves beat the shore, which is very spectacular.It has been an important place for military strategists since ancient times.

Yang Yanrong and his party rode fast horses, and it was only noon when they arrived in Anshun.Liu Hanzhang's two commanders were stationed in Anshun, about 800 people.

Regardless of going to dinner, Yang Yanrong ordered someone to shoot a book with a strong bow, and explained his intention of coming to the opposite Dali defender.

After a while, another arrow book shot over.

After receiving it, it turned out that it was a reply letter from Dali Defense, which meant asking Yang Yanrong to cross the river for a while.

Anyway, there was no danger, Yang Yanrong ordered people to prepare boats and cross the river.Fortunately, it is now March, the rainy season has not yet arrived, and the river is not rushing. Otherwise, it would be a dream to cross the river.Standing on the bow of the boat, Yang Yanrong felt terrified. If he was not careful and let the waves beat him, then he could only become the bastard's breakfast!Fortunately, Yang Yanrong crossed the river without any danger, so Yang Yanrong was relieved.

"Wu Zhen, the garrison of Dali, has seen the envoy of heaven!" This is a middle-aged man over forty years old, with a gentle appearance, not like a general, but like a literati.If it weren't for the armor and the long sword hanging from his waist, ordinary people would really not be able to tell whether he was a man of literature or martial arts.Seeing Yang Yanrong, he hurried up to salute with fists in his hands.Although Dali Kingdom is an independent country, it respects Song Dynasty very much.

Yang Yanrong didn't wear a helmet, didn't deserve a sword, and was wearing a green shirt and Confucian uniform.Wu Zhen didn't know what he was doing yet, but he had all the seals, but he also knew that this person was not comparable to ordinary people in the Song Dynasty.

Yang Yanrong clasped his fists in a salute, and said with a smile: "My lord, Yang Yanrong, I have met Brother Wu. Today I was ordered by the official family to borrow a way from your country. Here is a letter. Please ask Brother Ang to present it to His Majesty the Emperor of your country on my behalf. .”

Wu Zhen didn't dare to be negligent, took it with both hands respectfully, and said: "This matter is no small matter, let me return the emperor with a fast horse and then reply, what does the envoy think?"

Yang Yanrong nodded and said: "Thank you, I have another jade pendant here, please Brother Ang to give it to the emperor of your country." As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant that was snow-white around but blood-red in the middle, from his bosom. What is carved is a lifelike golden rooster, which is singing with its neck stretched out.

Wu Zhen was taken aback, stared at Yang Yanrong in disbelief, and said, "My lord envoy, this jade pendant belongs to my royal family in Dali. Where did you get it?"

Yang Yanrong smiled but did not answer, just said: "Brother Wu just send it, I think the emperor of your country understands. Well, I still have something to do, so I will take my leave!" After saying that, he turned around and left , Go back to the boat and order someone to ferry back.

Wu Zhenxin was puzzled, but he didn't dare to delay, talked with his subordinates, and went back to the capital with the letter and jade pendant.

After Yang Yanrong went back, he could only wait. The time before going to the battlefield became more and more urgent. He didn't know if he had fought the Liao people there, and he was very anxious.In the past few days, he trained these soldiers fiercely.The so-called more sweat in peacetime, more blood in wartime.He didn't want these precious soldiers to suffer losses, but wars always kill people.I just hope these people can live as many as they can!

Finally, on the seventh day, news came from Anshun Field that an official from Dali came to greet him. It is said that he was a very big official. The Hunan soldiers here did not understand, so they just brought back the letter.

Yang Yanrong took a look, and with Bai Menghuan, the second daughter Yang Paifeng flew away.

As soon as he arrived in Anshun, Yang Yanrong saw the banners covering the sky and the sun on the other side, and countless soldiers and horses stood there in neat formations. Could it be that the emperor of Dali had come?

Although he didn't know much about Dali, a small country, if he was an ordinary official, he wouldn't have such a big budget to travel, right?

"Take us across!" Yang Yanrong was about to give an order when he saw a big boat coming from the other side, and he had to stop the soldier and tell him not to go.

"Yang Lang, why are they here?" Bai Menghuan looked at the boat that was getting closer and closer, and tightly grasped Yang Yanrong's arm with a pair of small hands. To pinch off.

"Don't worry! There may be a surprise in a while!" Yang Yanrong patted her little hand and comforted: "We will know the reason soon."

"Let's go, let's go up!" Yang Yanrong pulled the two girls and walked over first.

The boat was parked by the river, and Wu Zhen, whom I saw that day, was standing on the bow of the boat, and when he saw Yang Yanrong approaching, he said loudly: "My emperor should answer the emperor's order, and Xuan Tianchao envoys Yang Yanrong to come to advise."

Damn, it really is the Emperor Dali who is here!Yang Yanrong was overjoyed, Grandma, it's all over now, the other party's leader came, and he made an excuse, so it's not a sure thing!

Yang Yanrong took Bai Menghuan's hand and said with a smile: "Menghuan, your father is here, let's go over there!"

When the three of them came to the bow, Wu Zhen bowed and said, "The emperor is inside, you go in!"

Yang Yanrong nodded, and led the two girls in.

There were not many people in the cabin, there were only two people, a man and a woman, the man was in his fifties, he was very strong, with a gray beard floating on his chest, a crown facing the sky on his head, and wearing a nine-claw golden dragon robe , looking at the three of Yang Yanrong with a smile on his face.That woman's age is hard to tell, she is probably in her thirties, she looks very similar to Bai Menghuan, with fair skin, crescent eyebrows and apricot eyes, she is quite charming.

"Yang Yanrong, the pioneer of the Great Song Dynasty's expedition to Liao Dynasty, and the loyal and brave Marquis Yang Yanrong, has met His Majesty the Emperor Dali Yingdao!" Yang Yanrong shook off the hands of the two women, strode up to the Emperor Dali, and said with clasped fists.

As soon as the woman saw Bai Menghuan, tears flowed down her cheeks. She walked quickly to Bai Menghuan, grabbed her hand, and said softly: "I am your mother, my poor daughter!" Holding Bai Menghuan and crying loudly.

Duan Sushun looked over, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and said: "I made your envoy laugh, this is my wife Bai Yun."

Yang Yanrong smiled and said: "Mother and daughter are natural. They haven't seen each other for 18 years. It's very normal. Should I call you His Majesty the Emperor, or your father-in-law?"

"Ahem..." Before Duan Sushun could react for a while, this kid started to solicit relations with relatives.Although he was far away in Dali, he knew about this man named Yang Yanrong, the richest man in the Song Dynasty, the owner of the Concubine Xiao Wine Industry, with a net worth of billions.

"Who is this girl? Why don't you introduce me?" Duan Sushun quickly covered up his embarrassment, pointing to Yang Paifeng beside Yang Yanrong and asked.

"This is my wife, Yang Paifeng!" Yang Yanrong pulled the cautious Yang Paifeng over and said, "You guys get to know each other."

"Paifeng met His Majesty the Emperor of Dali!" Yang Paifeng glared at Yang Yanrong, a little blaming this guy for his self-assertion, when did I marry you as my wife?Isn't this not married yet?She blessed Duan Sushun, and soon calmed down.

Duan Sushun glanced at Yang Paifeng, and said displeasedly: "Young Master Yang, since you have already married my daughter, why do you want to marry another woman?"

Yang Paifeng was about to explode with anger, but Yang Yanrong stopped him with his eyes.

"My father-in-law doesn't know something. My son-in-law has several wives. I, Princess Anyang, Princess Chaimei, and Princess Xinyi of the Song Dynasty are all my wives, so there's nothing wrong with that?" Yang Yanrong spread his hands, and then He counted his other wives in detail.

Duan Sushun's face darkened, isn't this kid too carefree?Having married so many wives, as the Emperor of Dali, I only have three wives.Your kid has more wives than mine?

"Forget it, I won't meddle in your family affairs!" Duan Sushun straightened his face, the previous amiability was wiped away, and he replaced it with the majesty that a shrewd emperor should have: "You said you want to use Dali as an excuse, I have to discuss it with the courtiers, but I can't answer you yet."

Yang Yanrong sneered in his heart, "Grandma, you can afford to wait, but I can't afford to wait. It made me anxious. I ordered people to cross the river by force. I still don't believe it. You, a little Dali country, dare to do something to my people."

"No problem, old man, it doesn't matter how long you want to discuss. I can wait for 5000 people. I just don't know if the master in the court can wait. If he sends another 10 people to accompany me Wait, that's not good!" Yang Yanrong stared at Duan Sushun with a bland smile, and said, "Is this the truth?"

Hey, does this kid still dare to threaten me?How shrewd is Duan Sushun?But as a majestic emperor, he was threatened by a Song official. If it was someone else, he would have pulled this guy out and chopped him down.But the identity of the guy in front of him is not trivial, and he has a pivotal position in the Song Dynasty's military.The Yang family, the Zhe family, and the Pan family all have a very important relationship with him, let alone beheading him, if this kid suffers even the slightest bit of grievance, I'm afraid Da Song will raise troops to kill him!

"Come here!" Duan Sushun with a dark face, pulled Yang Yanrong and walked to the back cabin.

Yang Paifeng was worried and wanted to follow, Yang Yanrong blinked at her quickly, signaling her to be at ease.Only then did Yang Paifeng stop, but he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, why did Emperor Dali pull him over?Do you want to do some shady deeds?Now turn your ears to the side and listen attentively.

"It's not impossible to borrow a way. Tell me, what are the benefits of my Dali?" Duan Sushun stood still, and the previous emperor's aura was swept away. According to Yang Yanrong, this guy is purely a profiteer. I'm a businessman who rapes me.

"Benefits?" Yang Yanrong smiled coldly and said, "Tell me, what benefits do you want?"

"Increase the trade items with Dali, salt, iron, tea, silk, etc. should be increased by at least [-]% every year." Duan Sushun opened his fingers and counted one by one: "There is also too much tax on the goods shipped from Dali." Gao, I hope you can reduce taxes a little bit, at least by [-]%. I, Dali, send a hundred scholars to study at the Imperial College of the Song Dynasty every year. Of course, we pay for it. Also, your concubine Xiao also has to supply it to Dali. The price should not be too high. Our two countries will jointly build a cable bridge on the Dadu River to facilitate the communication between the two countries. That's all, what do you think?"

Yang Yanrong previously thought that this guy wanted to ask for money, and increasing trade between the two countries is a good thing for the country and the people.As for tax cuts, he can't make the decision, other Yang Yanrong can agree.For the construction of the cable bridge, Yang Yanrong even raised his hands in favor. If a cable bridge like Luding Bridge can be built in this era, it will be of great use.Dali's national strength is weak, and it should have closed its eyes to the matter of building bridges to connect the two countries. He raised it at this time, obviously to test Dali's attitude.If one day Song Tianzi went crazy and led his troops across the repaired cable bridge, then Dali would be in jeopardy.Although Yang Yanrong doesn't understand politics, he can weigh one or two.

"My father-in-law, let me tell you the truth. Although I can speak a few words in the court, I can't give you any guarantee. I will write a memorial to my emperor, and he will send it. But , there are a few points I can promise you, increase trade between the two countries, send scholars to study here, and concubine Xiao Xiao enters Dali. I can make the decision and agree to it. What do you think?" Yang Yanrong pondered for a moment, and then said: "As long as You Dali show your sincerity, I think, I will consider it when I am the Son of Heaven."

Duan Sushun chuckled, and said: "You're honest, I've agreed to make an excuse, and I can lead troops across the border at any time, but I only have one request, let my daughter stay with me for a few days. I don't want her to be a weak woman Accompany you on the battlefield."

Yang Yanrong shook his head and said, "I can't decide this, you have to ask her."

"What did you say? Since she is your wife, she should listen to you. Don't you even agree to this?" Duan Sushun's face sank, and she was about to explode.
