Chapter 600 The Careful Thoughts of the Yang Family in Hanoi County
Chapter 600
But after all, the Hanoi Yang family was the direct descendant of Yang Kun, and in the early years, he also looked down on Yang Qian's grandfather, who was descended from a commoner family.
Yang Qian's grandfather left Hanoi and went to Yang Jian, who was still loyal to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, in order to seek development. It must be said that there was also a reason for being ostracized within the clan.
Therefore, although Yang regretted it, she was still very coy in the end and was unwilling to put down her arrogance to please the concubine Yang Ning, Yang Qian and his son...
It was not until the time of the northern expedition to Goguryeo that after hearing that Yang Ning was granted the title of Zheng Guogong, the Yang family in Hanoi strongly requested.
Yang Kun had no choice but to go shamelessly and quietly go to congratulate the Han family who was still in the mansion.
Fortunately, Mr. Han did not make it difficult for Yang Kun, but naturally he would not give him any good looks. In short, he was very polite and after meeting him once, he left it to the housekeeper, Uncle Song.
However, as the fortunes of Yang Ning and his son increased, Yang Kun was a little reluctant to deal with Uncle Song from the beginning. Later, he sent his own son to meet Yang Song as a junior every three days.
Of course, as the world situation changed, the Hanoi Yang family also played their role.
Even when Yang Ning was in charge of Taiyuan County affairs, a large number of people were sent to support him.
Yang Qian's biological father, Yang Ning, can be considered a relatively easy-going and good person, and he did not refuse the kindness of the Hanoi Yang family.
However, with the arrival of Li Mi, the Yang family in Hanoi, as a long-standing family, immediately followed Wang Wei, the prefect of the county, and submitted to Li Mi's banner.
Of course, it was only a formal submission. Following Yang Qian to Luokou Cangcheng, he won every battle and defeated Li Mi, who had hundreds of thousands of troops and was famous all over the world, and fled behind him.
The Yang family continued to approach with a calm face, saying that it was helpless for them to submit to Li Mi. Of course, it was not only the Yang family, but also the prefect Wang Wei.
Wang Wei, the prefect of the county, could be regarded as the first local official of the Sui Dynasty that Yang Qian knew. Even after Wang Wei left Xingyang County and was in charge of Hanoi County, he always maintained goodwill towards Yang Qian.
Even when Li Mi occupied Hanoi County and fought with the Zhenfu army garrisoned in Luokou Cangcheng, he secretly sent people to and from him many times and submitted many secret reports.
It was precisely because of the Hanoi Yang family, who was deeply rooted in Hanoi County, and the county governor Wang Wei, who was quite discerning and wanted to suppress the Fu army.
Therefore, Li Jing's strategy was naturally recognized by Yang Qian. The reason why he did not reveal the truth at the military meeting was naturally to prevent leaks.
As for the housekeeper, Uncle Song, who is old and strong and not a famous person, he travels between Xingyang and Hanoi as a merchant to deliver news, so he is naturally the best candidate.
Today, Yang Song came here again. After receiving the news, Yang Kun did not dare to neglect and informed Wang Wei immediately.
Unexpectedly, Wang Wei arrived so quickly, even earlier than many of Yang's principals.

"I've seen the prefect, I've seen Uncle Shi..." Yang Bing, Yang Kun's legitimate son, and Yang Rui, his elder brother's eldest son, who came in a hurry, both bowed respectfully to Yang Song and Wang Weiyi.
Yang Song waved his hand and asked with a smile.
"No need to be polite, please sit down. I came here today just to ask if everything is ready."
"Uncle Shi, don't worry, we have hidden more than a thousand weapons in Hanoi City. In addition, we have also lined up hundreds of dead soldiers and hid them near the east gate."
"Once something happens, we can immediately cooperate with the inside and outside and cooperate with His Highness the Tang Dynasty's suppressing army to seize the east gate."
"In addition, the military camp has been prepared. When the time comes, we will arrange for people to set fire to the camp to disrupt the enemy's camp and make it difficult to assist the defenders in the city in time..."
Yang Bing, who was in his early thirties, and Yang Rui, who was about the same age as him, were both very excited. They did not expect that their cousin Yang Qian actually had the capital to dominate the world.
As for the Yang clan members, if they do nothing, they will definitely gain nothing. At this time, they must stand up and do something for His Royal Highness, Prince Tang.
Wang Wei also smiled and said. "I also have some manpower there. Although not many, there are dozens of people who are willing to die. In addition, I have secretly contacted the county officials before."
"I can guarantee that as soon as the Zhenfu Army arrives, the five counties of Wenxian, Anchang, Xinxiang, Huojia, and Xiuwu will definitely open their city gates to welcome the Zhenfu Army."
"However, the three counties of Gongcheng, Jiyuan, and Wangwu are determined to die for Li Mi..."
Yang Song nodded while listening, keeping all this information firmly in his mind.
After they finished their statements, Yang Song stroked his long gray beard and spoke slowly.
"I came here this time, firstly, to communicate with you, and secondly, because I need to tell you some news."
"Within this month, the Zhenfu Army may enter Hanoi, so please proceed with caution.
If the matter is leaked, it will not only affect the strategy of suppressing the Fu army's northward advance, but even your wealth and lives may not be protected."
Wang Wei, the prefect of the county, faced Uncle Song, the steward of the Yang family, and bowed respectfully at this moment.
"Please rest assured that I will be more cautious in my words and deeds during this period."
Several people in charge of the Yang family in Hanoi also respectfully swore to the housekeeper, Uncle Song. After that, Yang Song stayed in the manor.
The prefect of the county, Wang Wei, soon left the place with Yang Bing and Yang Rui.
Only Yang Kun, the leader of the Yang clan, remains here.
Yang Kun had food and wine brought over, and he had a drink with Yang Song. After a few drinks, Yang Kun let go and shamelessly continued to call Yang Song brothers.
"Brother, if there is anything else that you can use for my Yang family, just say it bluntly. After all, you can't write two characters of Yang in one stroke..."
"Brother, I also know that in the past, the Yang family in Hanoi provided very little help to Duke Zheng and His Highness, but at that time, we, the Yang family in Hanoi, really couldn't help much."
The butler, Uncle Song, smiled and said, "Eat and drink when it's time." From time to time, he would add a few sentences. In short, it would not make the scene cold, but it would not make any actual commitment.
Of course, the words must be said beautifully, and at the same time, Yang Kun must know that His Royal Highness the King of Tang and Duke Zheng are both discerning people. It is not about what people say, but what they do that matters.
After drinking for a few rounds, Uncle Song, the butler, spoke.
"...By the way, there is one more thing, I'm afraid I need to trouble my brother."
"In three days, a dozen merchant ships will arrive, and a group of Yang family helpers and guards will enter Hanoi City first."
Yang Kun nodded without hesitation. "No problem. How many people are there?"
"Less than two hundred." Uncle Song, the butler, said with a smile.
Yang Kun frowned slightly, but finally agreed.
"...Although there are a lot of people, it doesn't matter. I will find a way and let them all enter the city."
The housekeeper, Uncle Song, breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "That's good. This matter comes out of my mouth and into your ears..."
Yang Kun's brows jumped when he heard this, and he immediately patted his chest to ensure that nothing would go wrong.
