Eight hundred and seventieth eight chapters Chang'an University
After the first snowfall, Chang'an City was covered in silver, which added a sense of tranquility to Chang'an City, which was already under martial law. However, everyone knew that the white snow could not cover up the thick murderous intent spreading in the city.
Yang Su casually threw the note back from Hanzhong into the stove. The flames quickly swallowed up the note. With this little strength, he tried to move upwards, but soon a gust of wind blew through the half-closed window.
When the outside blows, the flames retreat again.
Yang Su had no intention of warming himself by the fire. He just stared at the scenery outside and remained silent.
Chang'an is a big place and difficult to live in.
After returning to Chang'an from Hanzhong, Yang Su found that it seemed difficult to get out of this huge prison.
Yang Jian did not break up with the Hongnong Yang family and other families who betrayed him. After all, these families have too much financial and material resources and popular reputation, especially since many of their children are in the army. If there is a fight,
It would only make both sides suffer losses. So for a while, Yang Jian was tempted to throw a tantrum into a trap.
But this did not prevent him from carrying out the rest of his work step by step. New soldiers were still being recruited, the army was still training, and the frontline troops that had returned were confronting Yuchi Jiong and Yu Wenchun in the Puban and Tongguan areas.
Yang Jian only strengthened the guards of Chang'an City and the inspection of people entering and exiting. During the war, this was a measure that no one could find fault with. However, these measures were obviously aimed at several big families still in Chang'an City, especially the
The leader is Hongnong Yang.
As long as the channels for communication between the Hongnong Yang family and the outside world are locked, Yang Jian will naturally be able to exclude the Hongnong Yang family from this chaos. Without the Hongnong Yang family to preside over, the aristocratic families in the northwest are really weak and cannot
Nothing to worry about.
Because of this, Yang Su had no extravagant hope that he could leave the city. He didn't even give it a try. Otherwise, what would be the difference from throwing himself into a trap?
Fortunately, the huge Chang'an could not be blocked by Yang Jian if he wanted to, and not all of the huge Guanlong Group were hostile to the Hongnong Yang family. Changsun Sheng was able to leave the city at first, but now this note
Naturally, it could come to Yang Su's hands quietly.
After all, there are still many outsiders waiting to see which direction the wind will turn. They don't mind giving Yang Su some favors in private at this time. Once Li Xingchen really asks the Central Plains, it will be easy for everyone to talk about his achievements at this time.
"Brother Chu Dao, are we just waiting like this?" Finally, the young man sitting not far from Yang Su couldn't help but said. The young man looked like a teenager, but he was already tall and handsome. This
A note was sent from him.
"Don't panic," Yang Su said with a smile, "We are in Chang'an City. We are outnumbered and the enemy is outnumbered. If we try to make a move, Yang Jian will be alert. By then, it will most likely turn into a decisive battle. Now what do you say?
Say, which one of us is ready?"
The young man held down his sword with some dissatisfaction and started to stand up: "Brother Chu Dao, now several aristocratic families are joining forces to suppress us. Several branches of our Li family and Changsun family have been suppressed. Some shops have been harassed, and some have
Tenants are forced to pay more taxes under clever pretexts... If this continues, it will only weaken our own strength!"
Yang Su raised her eyebrows: "Sit down!"
It was obvious that the young man still admired Yang Su very much, and he immediately sat down again honestly.
"Let me ask you, can the dignified Li family of Longxi not be able to bear even this small loss of money and food?" Yang Su was obviously a little annoyed.
"If they push further in the future..." Li Yuan, the young man who is also the head of the Li family in Longxi - of course it is only in name now - said slowly.
"Our bottom line is not that high. If they push further in the future, we won't have time to fight back!" Yang Su said decisively, "And if we take action now because of such a slight provocation, then in the end it will be Yang Jian who gets the advantage! The Yang family, the Li family
, tell me how much savings the eldest grandson family has together, will Yang Jian be greedy?"
Li Yuan didn't know how to answer for a while. He was only fourteen years old, and these questions were obviously far from what Yang Su thought clearly.
Yang Su sighed, Li Yuan is a good and capable boy. There are very few young people at this age who dare to take on the responsibility of the entire family. He always goes all out when doing things, but sometimes he is a little impulsive, but that said
If you don't act impulsively when you come back, you won't be a young man anymore.
Immediately Yang Su said in a deep voice: "Yang Jian is eager for us to be impulsive. He wants us to completely provoke conflicts between us and other aristocratic families before we gather our strength and win over more people. He will only be happy if we both lose in the fight."
, without the constraints of these aristocratic families, he, a young man from a poor family, can control the army more smoothly."
"You mean..." Li Yuan's expression changed. He was not a brainless person, and he immediately understood what Yang Su meant.
Yang Jian's enemies are not just a few aristocratic families like the Hongnong Yang family, but the entire Guanlong Group can be counted as his enemies. After all, Yang Jian comes from a poor family in Shandong, and he is not from the same family. He does not have as many aristocratic families.
Resources and connections, so if he wants to rise to power and firmly control all power, he has only two choices, one is to integrate into the aristocratic family, and the other is to weaken the aristocratic family.
Otherwise, as long as the power is still in the hands of the aristocratic family, Yang Jian will still be an out-and-out puppet even if he is in a high position. The aristocratic family will not allow a child from a poor family to control him like this, especially when the Dugu family to which Yang Jian originally attached has become a puppet because of Dugu Xin.
His strength was greatly reduced due to his death, which made Yang Jian realize that he must take control of the family or destroy it.
The Hongnong Yang family turned out to be his choice. After all, he has the same surname as the Hongnong Yang family. As long as the Hongnong Yang family is willing, it is easy to "recognize their ancestors and return to the clan". This is indeed what Yang Jian did in history.
, and even Yang Su later became a relative of the emperor.
But obviously now Yang Su has a better candidate. Compared with Yang Jian who is already a trapped beast, Li Xingchen, who has golden scales that can turn into a dragon at any time, is obviously the best choice, especially with the chaos in the Northern Zhou Dynasty in full swing.
It made Yang Su not want to choose between them.
For him, there is nothing more satisfying than helping a person step from humble beginnings to the top, and creating a miracle is the most satisfying thing.
"So the most important thing for us now is to stay calm. If Yang Jian doesn't move, then we won't move either. It's enough for the general to personally take action in the chaos in the northwest. Whether it's Yu Yi or Li Yan, they are all mature with age. Yang Jian wants to
What are they doing? Do they really have no idea at all? It is a good thing to just show off at this time and prevent themselves from being involved in the vortex of disputes in Chang'an City." Yang Su said in a deep voice, "Brother,
You don’t have to panic, just go back and tell the elderly people in your family about today’s news, and they will naturally know what to do.”
Li Yuan nodded solemnly, stood up and raised his hands to Yang Suyi: "My little brother has learned a lesson." (To be continued)
