I'm a marquis in Datang

Now, Yang Lu already knows the identity of Ma Zhou.

The exposure of Ma Zhou's identity was not discovered by Yang Lu, but Ma Zhou took the initiative to tell Yang Lu.The premise of this news report is that Ma Zhou waited until the news of the burning of the Jianmenguan granary came back, and the facts had already been formed before Ma Zhou explained.

After all, under this premise, it is impossible for Yang Lu to change his position.

Yang Lu was a little surprised when he learned about it, but he quickly accepted it.He admired Ma Zhou even more, because Ma Zhou was bold and careful, and did everything without leaking.

, Yang Lu praised it very much.

Ma Zhou said unhurriedly: "Mr. Yang, whether you want to surrender or not, you have to see them. The reason why I asked you to make an extra plan is just in case. In this world, if you are not afraid of powerful people, just I'm afraid of being overconfident. It won't hurt to be more cautious in everything and make more plans. Even if this method is not available, it doesn't matter. "

Yang Lu stroked the beard under his chin, and praised: "Mr. Ma is worthy of being Emperor Xia's confidant, and he is really impeccable in his work. It is estimated that they will arrive at the Yang family in a short time. This time, in the name of the old man, I invite two people to come to the mansion. It won’t be difficult. As for the axemen lying in ambush beside the hall, they definitely won’t be needed.”

Ma Zhou said, "I hope so."

Ma Zhou has been in Pu'an County all the time. He and Yang Lu had planned and arranged for someone to destroy Li Chengqian's grain at Jianmen Pass.Now Ma Zhou had already received the news that the grain at Jianmen Pass had been burned, and he had even learned that Li Chengqian was heading towards Pu'an County, so Ma Zhou made another plan.

Ma Zhou's plan was to have Yang Lu persuade Tang Ziyong and Yang Zhengjian to

, Let the two return to Xia Guo together.As long as the plan is completed, as soon as Li Chengqian's army arrives in Pu'an County, they will directly capture Li Chengqian.

Right now, in the name of Yang Lu, Tang Ziyong and Yang Zhengjian are invited to come to the house to discuss matters.Once the two of them disagreed, they would be killed on the spot to avoid accidents.

"Boom! Boom!"

There was a knock on the door, and the housekeeper's voice sounded: "Patriarch, County Magistrate Yang has arrived."

"understood."

Yang Lu replied, stood up and nodded towards Ma Zhou, and the two walked out hand in hand.After leaving the study, go straight to the hall.After entering the hall, he saw Yang Zhengjian who had already arrived.

Yang Zhengjian's age is around thirty.

He can serve as the county magistrate of Pu'an County, the prefecture of Jianzhou. On the one hand, it is the operation of the Yang family, and on the other hand, it is because Yang Zhengjian himself is extremely capable.Under the governance of Yang Zhengjian, the government of Pu'an County is well-organized and the people are harmonious, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Everything is developing very well.

Seeing Yang Lu, Yang Zhengjian hurried forward to salute, "Uncle

! ”

According to seniority, Yang Zhengjian has to be called Yang Lu's uncle. Although Yang Zhengjian is in his early thirties, his seniority is relatively low.However, in the Yang family, he also has the right to speak, after all, he is the head of a county.

Even so, Yang Zhengjian is still a junior in front of Yang Lu, and he has to obey Yang Lu.

Yang Lu nodded and motioned Yang Zhengjian to sit down.After Yang Zhengjian took his seat, he waited for Yang Lu and Ma Zhou to take their seats, and asked, "Uncle invited grandson here today, what's the matter?"

Yang Lu said: "Wait a minute, the Tang governor has not arrived yet. When the Tang governor arrives, we will talk about it together."

Yang Zhengjian immediately responded.

Not long after, Tang Ziyong had already entered.When he entered, Yang Lu got up to salute, and Ma Zhou and Yang Zhengjian also followed him.Tang Ziyong accepted Yang Lu's salute, and soon he met Yang Lu as a disciple, and finally sat down and said: "The teacher called the disciple here today, what's the matter?"

Yang Lu stroked the beard under his chin and nodded slightly.

He was extremely satisfied with Tang Ziyong, who was in his thirties and achieved the position of governor of a state.Even with the operation of the Yang family, Tang Ziyong is undoubtedly extremely capable.

Yang Lu didn't say much, but pointed at Ma Zhou, and said, "Tang Inspector, I called you and County Magistrate Yang together. This old man introduced a person to the two of you. This person is Mr. Ma Zhou. Mr. Ma The confidant of His Majesty the Emperor Xia is also the military advisor of the Xia army who is now attacking Li Chengqian. He came to Pu'an County in person and managed to destroy Li Chengqian's grain at Jianmen Pass, breaking Li Chengqian's foundation."

Tang Ziyong narrowed his eyes slightly, with an expression of surprise on his face.

Ma Zhou is here.

As the governor of Jianzhou, Tang Ziyong naturally knew about Ma Zhou.This one is an important minister of Xia's national cabinet, Du Qi's right-hand man, and Xiao Yuanqi's military advisor.Unexpectedly, Ma Zhou had gone to hide in Pu'an County so early, and he was in Yang's house.

Everyone thought that Ma Zhou should advise Xiao Yuanqi by his side.Who would have expected that Ma Zhou would appear beside Yang Lu,

Looking at it like this, the Yang family has surrendered to Xia Guo and served Xia Guo.

After Yang Zhengjian heard it, his expression didn't fluctuate, he also knew about Ma Zhou.But when he thought that it was Yang Lu who introduced it, and also said that Ma Zhou operated to destroy Li Chengqian's food, Yang Zhengjian knew that the Yang family had already made a choice.

As a member of the Yang family, he should go forward and retreat with the Yang family, so he has nothing to say.

Ma Zhou said unhurriedly: "Tang Governor, County Magistrate Yang, and Duke Yang have already revealed my identity, so I will not say more. You should all know the current situation. The grain at Jianmen Pass was burned, and Li Chengqian himself The front line retreats, regardless of Jianmen Pass. Once Li Chengqian loses Jianmen Pass, it is impossible to hold Jianmen Pass, and it is impossible to hold Shuzhong. Today's Shuzhong will definitely fall under the control of Xia Guo. Both of you are smart people, The situation is so clear, I guess you should know what decision is most appropriate to make right now."

Yang Zhengjian said directly: "Yang is willing to follow Emperor Xia and to serve Xia Guo."

Tang Ziyong smiled slightly, and said in a calm manner: "The great trend of the Tang Dynasty

It's gone, and when Li Chengqian arrived in Jianzhou, he levied violently and expropriated grain wantonly, regardless of the lives of the people.I, Tang Ziyong, would not follow such an innocent lord.Ma Junshi came here on behalf of Xia Guo, and I, Tang Ziyong, am willing to serve Xia Guo.Tang Mou will do whatever Ma Junshi arranges. "

A smile appeared on Ma Zhou's face, and he said, "Both of you are straightforward people. If I say too much, it would be petty. I won't say anything redundant, just talk about the next arrangement."

Tang Ziyong said: "Mr. Ma please show me."

Yang Zhengjian said: "Please show me, Military Division Ma."

Ma Zhou said: "The next arrangement is actually very simple. According to the news obtained by Mr. Yang, Li Chengqian's army will arrive in Pu'an County in half a day at most. I believe you all know this news."

"Until now, Li Chengqian didn't know that Pu'an County, and even Jianzhou, had served His Majesty. Then we will adopt the strategy of catching a turtle in a urn. When Li Chengqian's army arrives outside the city, let him enter the city. Once he enters the city, we will mobilize The troops of Jianzhou directly surrounded Li Chengqian and captured him alive."

Ma Zhou said: "Li Chengqian is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, such a person is extremely valuable."

Tang Ziyong said: "No problem, I will arrange it properly. In Pu'an County, there are 6000 soldiers and horses stationed in Jianzhou. In addition, the county government also has a group of people, who can gather [-] people and hand them over to the command of the Ma Junshi."

Yang Lu has never spoken.

He handed over the initiative to Ma Zhou and asked Ma Zhou to preside over the arrangement, but now it involves the transfer of personnel, so Yang Lu said directly: "My Yang family still has two thousand private soldiers, and I will also take them out to gather 8000 people. , handed over to Ma Junjun to command. Li Chengqian withdrew with a group of troops, but Li Chengqian's troops would not exceed 5000. Eight thousand vs. five thousand, and Li Chengqian's troops were always hungry and on the road, weak and demoralized , It is easy to defeat them."

Ma Zhou said: "What Yang Gong said is true. We set up an ambush in the city and waited for Li Chengqian to throw himself into the trap. This time we took down Li Chengqian, and everyone has contributed to it. Whether it is the Yang family, or the governor of the Tang Dynasty, Yang County Ling, your contributions will be truthfully reported to His Majesty, and His Majesty will reward you at that time."

Yang Lu shook his head with a smile, and said humbly, "It's not worth mentioning that a little effort is made."

Tang Ziyong and Yang Zhengjian also spoke modestly.

In the hearts of the two of them, there was a little excitement. Whether it was Tang Ziyong or Yang Zhengjian, in fact, each of them had been an official for a long time, and their political achievements were also good, but it was difficult to get promoted.Because the influence of the Yang family is only in Jianzhou, it is impossible to use more space for Tang Ziyong, and Tang Ziyong is in Jianzhou, so it is impossible for Yang Zhengjian to be promoted.

After all, one carrot is one hole, and Yang Zhengjian had to get Tang Ziyong to be promoted if he wanted to be promoted.Now that the two have an opportunity, they are naturally looking forward to it.In fact, Yang Lu himself is the same, quite happy.

He built an academy, preached and taught, that is to continuously cultivate talents, and then prosper the Yang family.It's a pity that the Yang family has been trapped in Jianzhou, unable to go any further.Now that he has the opportunity, he is naturally happy to see it come true.

blow up

In Pu'an County, Li Chengqian is leading the army on a fast journey.Now Li Chengqian has less than [-] soldiers, and the number has dropped a lot. After all, many people ran away halfway because of hunger.Those who can follow Li Chengqian are at least loyal to Li Chengqian, or they still have a certain thought in their hearts, and they want to continue to work for Li Chengqian.

They were less than half an hour away from Pu'an County.

It is getting closer and closer to the county seat.
