"What did the family originally do?"

"My family used to be a shepherd, and life was not very good. When I was fifteen, I joined the army."

"Why join the army?"

"In order to have enough food to eat and clothes to wear, after joining the army, the villain killed countless people and accumulated merit and promotion along the way..."

"Is it the art of war or the art of swordsmanship that you rely on?"

"Both."

Niubi boasts a little freshness!

The looks in the eyes of several sergeants around him were wrong.

"After killing many people, I got promoted. I was also accused of taking credit several times, but the villain didn't say a word."

"Why? Good temper?"

"No. I was beaten severely just for questioning for the first time. From then on, I learned not to conflict with noble people unless I was sure."

"So this time you felt that you were very confident, so you reported it to someone higher up?"

"Yes. But now that I think about it, I have been feeling aggrieved for too long. I am too obsessed with getting ahead and have lost my sense of proportion."

Seeing Uda's questioning eyes, Yeluxi said calmly:

"To be able to guard Jianshui City, one must have good swordsmanship, otherwise I would have died on the way. And one must have good military skills, otherwise he would be incompetent in leading his men."

Interesting person.

At least he didn't talk about any lofty ideals.

Why join the army? Eat well and have clothes to wear.

"What do you think of Beiliao?"

"Very powerful, very poor."

“How do you say poor?”

"The people above are rich, and the lowly people are also rich, but the common people are poor."

"For thousands of years, the poor have been the common people." Yang Xuan said: "The common people are not poor, how can the powerful gentry become rich?"

Yeluxi was startled and raised his hands: "Master, what you said is very true. Those superior people became rich by exploiting the common people."

Along the way, Yang Xuan gradually gained a clear understanding of the current situation of the Tang Dynasty.

His starting point is high, and when looking at wealth, he will naturally not fight for every penny, but look at contradictions. In a word: the powerful and powerful gentry become rich by exploiting the lower class.

The old thief was puzzled, "Lang Jun, isn't the Tang Dynasty better than the Northern Liao Dynasty?"

Yang Xuan shook his head.

“When the Tang Dynasty was first founded, the officials were relatively honest. There were still plenty of fields, and it was convenient for the emperor to reward his merits. So the powerful and high-ranking officials felt satisfied, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and there were fewer conflicts, so it was called Great Governance.

But as time goes by, the powerful, high-ranking officials and gentry continue to expand their sphere of influence, which requires greater wealth and power. In addition, many new wealthy people emerge every year to share the wealth and power, so the land and power are gradually being squeezed out, which is a bit embarrassing.

.

Up to now, the annexation of land has become more and more intense, and the power struggle has become more and more intense... As a result, refugees continue to be displaced and political disputes continue.

Refugees need to eat, and if they don't have food, they will rebel. Last year, news of sporadic rebellions came from time to time.

The political struggle in the DPRK became more and more intense. The new rich and the traditional powerful started a fierce battle for interests. Faced with this situation, the man came up with a combination of vertical and horizontal, and even joined forces with four surnames from the same family to check and balance the DPRK.

This move seemed to have settled the political dispute, but it laid the foundation for a weak king and a strong minister.

The power of the four surnames of the family and the powerful people they represented continued to expand, which had affected the imperial power. And the abandoned powerful gentry were brewing dissatisfaction.

If there is just a little spark now, the entire Tang Dynasty will explode."

The old thief secretly rejoiced, "Lang Jun, this is our opportunity!"

Yang Xuan raised his eyebrows, "That's right."

Jianshui City is noisy.

The city guard's mansion was burned down, and the people commandeered a nearby house as an office space.

With no more civil servants, the military men were able to call the shots for the first time, and found it particularly refreshing.

But no one wants to take charge, and the generals who used to be so coquettish are now arguing endlessly to shirk their responsibilities.

The soldiers below also vaguely knew that something was wrong, but it had nothing to do with them. There happened to be no one to supervise, so we were having fun.

So the soldiers guarding the city became lazy.

"Hey! Let's take turns."

"good!"

Two sergeants squatted in the city gate, wrapped in raincoats and taking a nap.

"Ahem!"

Someone is coughing.

"Ahem!"

"Seeking death!"

A sergeant was woken up and raised his head angrily.

"Details?"

Yeluxi said coldly: "A bunch of idiots, call them together."

The sergeant ran back as fast as he could.

"Zhang Wen is here and wants you to go to the city gate."

The generals who were quarreling felt relieved and were all happy.

"Well done!"

We don’t have to take the blame anymore, so happy!

So everyone arrived at the city gate with a smile.

There were dozens of people behind Xianwen, all wearing coir raincoats and bamboo hats because of the heavy autumn rain.

The drizzle was falling, and it looked like a lingering relationship between a man and a woman.

All the generals gathered together and saluted, "I've seen you carefully."

Boss, just come back!

Everyone looked up and saw Yelu turning around respectfully.

"Owner."

A young man behind him smiled, as reserved as a tiger about to eat: "Do it!"

Behind him, dozens of people were grinning.

"You look familiar!" someone exclaimed.

"Kill them all!" The young man nodded slightly and smiled at the man.

Then dozens of people rushed over and hacked him to death.

It was raining in autumn and no one came in or out. There was a house opening the door in front of him. He happened to see this scene and the man subconsciously opened his door.

The door is closed.

He turned around and said to his wife: "Xiang Wen is back. He killed someone, so stay safe."

The sergeant on duty at the top of the city asked in surprise: "What's going on down there?"

Two men in coir raincoats and bamboo hats flew up, and the dozen or so sergeants on duty were shocked.

"kill!"

The horizontal knife passed through the rain and mist, splashing countless blood.

The two men swept along the city wall and killed more than ten people in an instant.

In the distance, a dark mass of approaching cavalry saw the movement at the top of the city and began to speed up.

The sound of horse hooves was dull, like thunder in the sky.

The sergeant guarding the city on the other side was obscured by rain and fog, but when he heard the screams, he rubbed his eyes, came over, and asked, "What's your name?"

As he walked a while, he saw a man grinning ferociously at him.

Then the figure flew over.

"Enemy attack!"

The screams were a little blurry in the rain and fog.

The sound of horse hooves suddenly became louder.
