Chapter 495 Now the twelve counties in the south of the Yangtze River, all counties know Yang Zijing
Chapter 495
Only ten days after Zhang Xutuo's death, Yang Guang left Dongdu and boarded the new dragon boat.
He led a group of ministers and headed towards Jiangdu in a mighty manner. Heading to Jiangnan, where he thought about it day and night, and where his soul was tied to his dreams.
The young man Yang Tong, the second son of Prince Yuande, once again stayed in Dongdu to guard the city.
As for the King of Qi, Yang Jian, he was honestly escorted by Yang Guangti to Jiangdu.
But what everyone didn't expect was that Yang Guang's chariot had just left Henan not long ago.
After defeating Zhang Xutuo's Wagangzhai army, they have already directed their troops towards Xingyang. The current governor of Xingyang, Yang Qian's old father-in-law Li Yuanzhen, is really suffering.
Fortunately, Li Yuan has also been operating in Xingyang for a long time, and he has received great help from the Zheng family in Xingyang and the Yang family in Xingze.
Although the entire territory was not preserved, the territory of Xingyang County south of Tongji Canal was at least preserved, which can be regarded as a stalemate across the river with the Wagangzhai army.
"...Oh, it's so difficult...suck it...ha..." Li Yuan sighed with emotion as he stroked his short beard and his still plump double chin.
Mrs. Dou next to her looked at her husband, who was sipping his tea with a frown on his face, and sighed softly.
Xianji gritted his teeth again and said angrily, "It's all that bastard's fault. The whole world has been reduced to such a state of corruption."
"His father is even less of a good person. He took away my uncle's empire and found such a stupid and violent bastard to take over."
"...That lady, please keep your voice down." After listening to Dou's words, Li Yuan quickly reminded her softly.
Although there are only two people in the house, it is still wise to be cautious.
"We are just the two of us, and there are no outsiders." Mrs. Dou muttered again unwillingly. "If our son-in-law hadn't been so capable, I'm afraid your life would have been even more difficult."
"..." Li Yuan's whole body was not feeling well, but he was not feeling well, so he could only hold his nose and admit it.
"My wife is right. It's a good thing that I respect that boy. It's no wonder that I was optimistic about him back then."
"Well, it would have been nice if my husband had not taken up the responsibility of Xingyang Governor and sent him to a farther place..."
"However, although Xingyang is rich, it is under Yang Guang's nose and must be cautious in everything it does. It has not been able to become a success so far."
"It's our in-laws, Weng's family, or our third son-in-law.
In the past, he was just a little guy who showed off his talents and cleverness all the time, but now he has gradually become the spirit of a hidden dragon and a tiger."
Dou's words became softer, but Li Yuan became more frightened when he heard them.
"Madam, what do you mean..."
"Since my husband came to Xingyang, the Zheng family in Xingyang seemed to be doing all he could to help him. After all, most of the face is actually on that boy Yang Qian."
"As for the Yang family, let alone the small Daze Township. Five thousand Daze Township warriors are probably no worse than the elite guards of the past."
"That's true. It's thanks to our in-laws' help." Li Yuan nodded. The most powerful person under his command was Five Hundred Buqu.
As for the morale and combat power of the three thousand county soldiers, they are not as good as the five thousand Dazexiang brave soldiers, and they are about the same as the thousands of clan soldiers of the Zheng family in Xingyang.
Thanks to the emperor's decree, all prefectures and counties were allowed to form strongholds and recruit brave men to protect themselves. The Yang family took two thousand village brave men and returned them to Li Yuan's command, and kept three thousand for himself to guard his old nest in Xingze.
Although the Yang family and his son live in the north and the other in the south, Mrs. Yang, Han, is really a strange woman who knows military skills and warfare.
Even when fierce soldiers entered Xingyang, she actually did not stay in the heavily guarded Dongdu. Instead, she personally stayed in Daze Township, the mansion of the Yingze Yang family that had been passed down for generations.
However, Xingze County was quite favored by the Yang family. Everyone in Xingze County was convinced by the Yang family.
When the war in Xingyang first broke out, the Yang family even provided money and effort to appease the people and accommodate the refugees. Their reputation was unparalleled, and countless young people from Xingze came to Yang's command.
The weapons and equipment sent from Jiangnan and a large amount of food allowed the Yang family to equip these five thousand men and horses in a short period of time.
Putting it anywhere, with five thousand elite soldiers, it can be called a powerful force.
With the help of two powerful local snakes in Xingyang, Li Yuan, an outsider, was finally able to stabilize the situation.
Although half of Xingyang was lost, the bandits of Wagang Village were not allowed to invade the territory of Dongdu. Think about the famous general in the world, Zhang Xutuo, who was victorious in every battle, died in the hands of the Wagang Village army.
He, Li Yuan, was able to keep half of Xingyang, and he was able to advance and retreat, which was enough to comfort his conscience.
"I wonder if Madam has read Erlang's letter?" After sighing for a long time, Li Yuan drank the last sip of tea soup in one gulp and smacked his mouth with unfulfilled thoughts.
"Of course I did. In fact, looking back now, I think that when the third son-in-law first came to Jiangdu, relying on His Majesty's favor, every move he made had the intention of building momentum.
Nowadays, Yang Zijing is known to all the twelve counties in the south of the Yangtze River."
"My wife is very clever. Now Yang Zijing is known to all the twelve counties in the south of the Yangtze River." Li Yuan smiled and nodded towards Dou.
"Before His Majesty went to the south of the Yangtze River, Shen Faxing, the prefect of Wu County, rebelled and was executed by Zijing. Now the position of the prefect of Wu County has been taken by his confidant Qin Qiong."
"Even if he leaves Jiangnan by then, the people of Jiangnan will still remember his kindness for at least ten years."
"I'm afraid the Sui Dynasty won't be able to last ten years." Madam Dou narrowed her eyes slightly. This woman was talented and had a unique vision.
She was still concerned about Dai Yuwen of the Yang family. In the days when the Sui Dynasty was prosperous in the past, she could only look after the family and keep the business in a depressed way. Now that the troubled times are approaching, she suddenly felt refreshed.
"In the past, when I looked at the third son-in-law, I was clumsy and always felt displeased. But now that I think about it carefully, it must be because our third daughter-in-law's arm is bent too far."
With a porridge sound, another cup of tea soup was filled, and Li Yuan, who had just dipped it in his mouth, choked on it.
He choked and blushed. Seeing his wife's strange expression, he quickly tried to calm his breathing. "It's okay, I just choked."
"Humph, husband, how can I not know what you are thinking in your heart? After all, our stupid third girl is really lucky."
"Xiu Ning is just slow-talking, but she understands better than anyone in her heart." Li Yuan said with a smile.
Li Yuan was very happy when he thought of this third daughter who was more talented than others.
"Well, it must have been almost three years since they got married. Why haven't there been any news?"
"What news?" Li Yuan failed to follow his wife's thoughts and was a little confused.
"Here, tell me, could it be that our son-in-law has something to do with it? After all, the old Yang family has been passed down for three generations..."
Looking at this lady who was gossiping about her son-in-law, Li Yuan seemed to have lost all his strength.
"Sure enough... here we go again..." Li Yuan muttered in a low voice, and could only continue to maintain a dumbfounded expression while drinking tea, listening to his wife starting a new round of gossip journey...
