Chapter six hundred and fiftieth IX narrow measure of the sea
After appeasing You Yan, the most important step is to assemble the northwest army and attack the grassland.
Yang Lin started packing his bags early in the morning, preparing to go to the northwest again. By the way, he sent someone to Bianliang to ask Song Jiang to set off and meet him in Yinzhou.
The sky was still dark, so Yang Lin filled a basin of hot water and while he was washing up, soldier Zhu Wu came to say goodbye.
Yang Lin wiped his face and said, "When you go back, give this letter to Song Jiang and ask him to do as I say without making any mistakes."
Midsummer dawned extremely early, and soon the sound of roosters could be heard, and the sun had just risen. Outside the gate of Yanzhou City, more than a thousand personal guards escorted Yang Lin to Yinzhou in the northwest via Hedong.
Yinzhou was once the city of the Dangxiang people. The Dangxiang Li family had held Yinzhou for hundreds of years, and had been the masters of the Five Prefectures since the late Tang Dynasty.
Now that Xixia has been destroyed, the Dangxiang Li family and their mother clan, the Tuoba family, have been uprooted. The Dangxiang people now in power are all the Hengshan Qiqiang who were the poorest and most miserable in the past.
What Yang Lin has to do is to go to the northwest, mobilize the Uighurs and Tubo people, who are all soldiers, and assemble a large army to wipe out the grassland.
The emergence of Hebulkhan represents the tendency of the scattered Mongolian tribes on the grassland to unite. There is nothing more worrying than the unity of all Tatars.
Yang Lin's carriage chose a relatively small and sturdy military vehicle, abandoning the original luxurious carriage.
There are not too many devices in the car. It is filled to the brim with military intelligence documents and maps.
Yang Lin took risks in this battle. From Zongze's point of view, being able to defeat the Beilu in one fell swoop would certainly be a win-win situation.
But Yang Lin is different. This battle must not only be won, but also won cleanly and beautifully.
Otherwise, the situation that has finally been stabilized in the country will definitely be reversed as the war situation in the north becomes unfavorable.
Without the force of the army, it would be impossible to subdue the gentry who had temporarily bowed their heads. After all, Yang Lin used force to break the situation and forcibly suppress the gentry that had ruled this land for a hundred years.
Yang Lin could not fail. He could have retreated into the country and continued to move forward steadily to obtain the throne. The situation is now clear. Even if the Jurchens have a small victory on the border, they will never be able to invade the Central Plains and overthrow his rule.
.
His civil and military skills have reached their peak. He recovered Yunnei and Youyan, which had been occupied for hundreds of years, and opened up new territories in Tubo, Dali, Jiaozhi, and the Western Regions. These new territories combined were larger than the original territory of the Song Dynasty.
, and destroyed the old enemy Xixia.
However, in order to eliminate the hidden danger of Mongolian Jurchens, he still chose to take a gamble. Yang Shaozai was always very responsible.

Bianliang City, Zhaodefang.
A crowd of people surrounded Zhu Wu, chattering so hard that they couldn't hear what anyone was saying.
Zheng Yunyao was one head and two big, but Fang Miaolian finally couldn't stand it any longer and screamed: "Shut up, madam."
Only then did all the wives and concubines stop talking. Zheng Yunyao calmed down and asked: "You mean, the official is going to Yinzhou again?"
"Yes, madam." Zhu Wu replied quickly. He was scared. How could Yang Shaozai endure this battle? He had worked really hard for so many years.
Zheng Yunyao sighed and said: "Didn't you say that Youyan is fighting? Why do people in that place always like to fight? What are the officials doing in Yinzhou?"
Of course, Zhu Wu knew that he could not explain clearly, and there was no need for him to explain to Shaozai's back house. He had better hurry up and get the matter done and go to Yinzhou to meet Shaozai.
He only stayed in this room for a moment, and he already felt like his ears were going to explode.
Fang Miaolian took a look and found that the wife of the principal could not ask a serious question, so she had no choice but to leave alone and asked: "What does he want, Mr. Da Lang?"
"The Young Master has ordered Mrs. Su and the two Mrs. Yang to pack their bags and go to Yingzhou for a reunion."
As soon as these words came out, the whole room was filled with sour taste. Only sisters Su Yina and Yang Keer and Yang Moer looked surprised.
Zheng Yunyao waved his hand and said: "I know, you three pack your bags and let Yang San from our house do the hard work to take you to Yinzhou. When you get there, it will be no better than at home. Don't be lazy and slip up and serve the officials. "
"Yes, ma'am." The three of them said politely, gathering their skirts.
When the girls saw that the main wife was not jealous or bitter, and they themselves were not in trouble, they could only swallow their anger and disperse.
Zhu Wudao: "This time the young master also asked the Privy Councilor Song Taiwei to go. The three ladies can go with the army to ensure safety."
"That's very good. Please wait a moment. I'll ask someone to prepare some clothes for the officials. You can take them with you." Although Zheng Yunyao is cute, she behaves like a lady. After all, Empress Zheng is a top-notch virtuous person. Internal help.
Due to the influence of her ears and eyes, and the dedicated teachings of Empress Zheng, who was already well aware of Yang Lin's intention to usurp the throne, Zheng Yunyao has matured a lot in recent years.
In Song Jiang's house, several big men were playing with guns and sticks with their bare arms.
The yard was very lively, and there were boys watching and cheering. Song Jiang came back from outside and was in a very good mood.
Now that Cai Jing is in the Department of Culture and Education, matters of all sizes in Bianliang are much easier to handle.
As long as there is something undecided, just ask him directly and there will always be an appropriate solution, which will make both Bai Shizhong and Song Jiang much easier.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Hua Rong smiled and said: "Brother, Shaozai sent someone to tell you that there is something important to inform you. When I asked him, he didn't say what it was. He only spoke when he saw you. "
"Since you are sent by the Young Master, it must be a big deal. Let me go and take a look first."
Song Jiang put his hands behind his back, straightened his chest and took small steps to the flower hall.
What I saw were the personal guards in red and brocade clothes. They looked like Fanzi from the Long Live Camp. They were the direct descendants of the Young Master.
As soon as they saw Song Jiang coming in, the guards clasped their fists and said, "I've seen the Taiwei, and the Shao Zai sent a special person to deliver the message."
Song Jiang smiled and said: "You're welcome, please take a seat quickly. I think you can follow Shaozai at such a young age, and your future is limitless. We've been apart for more than half a year, how are you doing with Shaozai?"
"Back to Taiwei, the young master is strong and has gone to Yinzhou now."
Song Jiang already knew about this, and there was a huge quarrel in the court. Most people believed that there was no need to fight this war because the implications were too wide.
The imperial court finally had a hard time, and after a few days of prosperity, it was likely that the government would have to tighten its belt again.
He unfolded the secret letter, and after reading it, he looked solemn. He stood up and said, "This little brother, it's hard work coming from afar to deliver the letter. The housekeeper went to pay some silver and buy some wine for the little brother to quench his thirst."
Just when the soldier was about to refuse, he saw Song Jiang's expression was so cordial that it was hard to say no. After thinking about it, he accepted with a smile.
After he followed the housekeeper and left, Song Jiang opened the secret letter again and sighed.
"The measure can span the narrow sea, and the energy can reach across the sky and the earth. Who knows that Yang Shaozai has a noble heart and a light crown."
