The army retreated.

Along the way, the morale of the soldiers was high. Yang Xuan saw it and smiled and said: "The soldiers have won the battle, and they are filled with joy. Don't be too restrained.

Send the order, there are five thousand people in a group, and ten people in each group will grab the sheep! Whichever group brings the sheep to me will be rewarded with ten thousand coins."

After the military order was given, the whole army cheered. Then a group of 5,000 people was selected to select the best players.

The sheep is a strong and fat sheep.

Nan He put the fat sheep in the middle and quickly rode away.

Immediately, smoke and dust billowed in the middle!

Yang Xuan looked at it with a smile, "Cao Ying!"

"exist!"

Cao Yingce immediately stepped forward.

"Let's go."

The two of them left the group, with only the Qiu Long Guard behind them.

"You have been with me for many years. To be honest, you have been there all the way through the ups and downs, and I am used to having you around."

There are only a few types of attitudes that a lord has towards his ministers: those that can be used and those that cannot be used but must be used.

Then they are divided into several types, those who rise to the top based on ability, and those who rise to the top based on friendship.

Cao Ying is an old man who followed Yang Xuan, and can be said to be the first batch of heroes who followed the dragon.

However, he has gradually fallen behind over the years.

He reflected on himself and realized that his temper was bad.

"You are good at handling political affairs, but what do you need to handle political affairs? Grandeur!" Yang Xuan glanced at him, "Only grandeur can make subordinates convinced. Otherwise, even if you are very talented, your subordinates will still remain the same.

dissatisfied."

Cao Ying thought about her experiences over the years, and she couldn't help but feel sad and wanted to cry.

"Yes, I know what's wrong with me, and I'm a bit sarcastic... If I hadn't given up on him, I would have disappeared into obscurity by now."

"Annihilation into obscurity will not happen." Yang Xuan smiled, "I said, you are an old man."

A husband attaches great importance to love... Cao Ying thought of Yi Niang. The last time he saw Yi Niang, he saw that the stewards around Zhou Ning were quite respectful to her.

"I have failed my husband's high expectations."

"Don't belittle yourself." Yang Xuan glanced at him. After all, he was the old man who had followed him all the way. He left him behind, and he always felt that something was missing in his heart.

"Yanbei City is very important. It guards the southward gate of Tanzhou. It can provide early warning, interception, and cut off the enemy's rear route. It can make Tanzhou's soldiers and civilians uneasy...so that the people dare not leave the city to graze."

"Yes, this is the time before I was in Chenzhou."

Cao Ying looked at Yang Xuan and felt that the boss did it on purpose, just to return the treatment he received back to Tanzhou.

If this is the case, the boss's desire for revenge is unrivaled.

He glanced at Yang Xuan again. The sky was still shrouded in light clouds like smoke and sand, but Yang Xuan's face seemed to have a halo of dignity.

He couldn't help but feel happy, thinking of the late emperor.

If your Majesty sees Lang Jun like this, he will definitely say that this is my Qilin.

"Chang'an cut off our money and food in Northern Xinjiang, which seems like a bad thing, but Lao Cao, you have to know that in this world, self-reliance is the foundation of strength. Northern Xinjiang needs time, money, food, cattle and sheep.

So I went north to capture Nangui City, and this time I captured Yanbei City again. Why not take advantage of the situation and capture Tanzhou and Neizhou? You tell me."

Cao Ying had been dormant for a long time, and Yang Xuan wanted to see the effect.

Cao Ying thought for a while, "If we capture Tanzhou and Neizhou, Chang'an will be shaken, and maybe all attention will be focused on us. Secondly, Ningxing will be the same."

"Yes." Yang Xuan was very satisfied. "The world is a chess game. If Northern Xinjiang wants to be a chess player, not a chess piece, it must continue to grow stronger. But this will take time. Every day that passes, Northern Xinjiang will become stronger.

"

Cao Ying said: "Over in southern Xinjiang, it is said that Shi Zhongtang and Zhang Chumao are having a bad fight."

Yang Xuan's eyes were deep, "We don't care about other people's affairs. As I said before, when you become stronger, this world..."

Yang Xuan stretched out his hand and slowly clenched his fist, "Only you are qualified to compete!"

Since Yang Xuan took charge of Northern Xinjiang, after stabilizing the internal situation, he then expanded to the north. The first step is completed, and then the world will follow suit...

"The world is like a chess game. Now I can barely make a move and stir up the storm."

Yang Xuan couldn't help but think of Yang Lue.

That man has been hiding in Nanzhou, and almost half his life was wasted for him.

And Cao Ying... Yang Xuan looked at Cao Ying, and inevitably had some memories of the past in his heart.

"Tanzhou will become a point, an important point in our northern border from now on.

Reject the Northern Liao Dynasty in the north and take care of Fengzhou.

Once Tanzhou is stabilized, Taoxian will be able to fight Beiliao and Chang'an without any further trouble.

This place is the most important place outside Taoxian County, Lao Cao..."

Cao Ying was thinking about going to Taoxian County to assist Zuo Langjun, but when she heard this, she saluted without hesitation, "I am willing to guard Yanbeicheng for Langjun."

The reason why the old people are old people is, firstly, because of friendship, and secondly, they know their master’s thoughts.

Yang Xuan smiled and patted his shoulder, "Be optimistic about Tanzhou for me."

"yes."

Cao Ying looked at her boss and couldn't help but have mixed feelings.

That boy who was a bit... Lang Jun said he was a middle school student back then, that boy who was a bit of a middle school boy back then, gradually turned into a majestic lord.

A group of cavalry finally got the fat sheep, cheering and galloping this way.

The troops then cheered.

"Wan Sheng!"

Yang Xuan smiled and reined in his horse.

A sergeant rode forward with a fat sheep in his arms, dismounted, knelt down, and handed the fat sheep over.

"This is my northern warrior!"

Yang Xuan smiled, dismounted and took the fat sheep.

It was as if he had taken over the entire country.

"Wan Sheng!"

In the hazy sky, the spring rain moistens the grassland.

The birds looked at the army curiously from a distance.

The sheep came, and the herdsmen saw the army from a distance.

"What kind of flag is that?"

"It's Yang Ziqi, the deputy envoy is here!"

The herdsmen knelt down and saluted devoutly.

"May the gods protect our deputy envoy and grant us peace..."

Peace...

The shepherd raised his head.

The entire grassland was shrouded in a gauze-like drizzle, and the earth's energy evaporated from the ground, making it look hazy.

An old man said happily: "This is life!"

…

Spring comes earlier in southern Xinjiang than in northern Xinjiang.

While northern Xinjiang is still a little cold in the morning and evening, southern Xinjiang is already full of singing and dancing birds.

Tens of thousands of cavalrymen were galloping.

Ahead, thousands of rebels were also galloping.

The leading general looked back while galloping, "Shi Zhongtang, that bastard, has been chasing after me!"

"Run!"

"It will be over if Shi Zhongtang catches him."

The rebels fled on horseback.

"Look, there are mountains in front of us. Once we enter the mountains, our world will be ours."

Everyone was overjoyed, and their strength seemed to have increased a bit.
To be continued...
