Chapter 10294
Loushanguan.
After returning to the General's Mansion in Guannei, Luo Xingchen looked at the mountains of documents and shook his head.
No choice, I still have to deal with official business.
Nowadays, things in Loushan Pass are complicated and cannot be managed by just attacking. Everything must be handled carefully.
About an hour later, Luo Xingchen rubbed his forehead and stood up.
In the living room, Jiao Feilong is already waiting.
Jiao Feilong is the chief of the Keqing Courtyard in Bozhou. He now represents the entire Keqing Courtyard, so Luo Xingchen cannot neglect him.
Luo Xingchen opened the door from the side and walked into the living room.
"General, I have something to say."
Jiao Feilong stood up and got straight to the point.
Luo Xingchen nodded and asked Jiao Feilong to sit down and speak slowly.
"Wei Lingxiao contacted Han Xiezi, the prefect of Yuanjing City, and Han was willing to submit to the imperial court." Jiao Feilong explained his intention in one sentence.
"How could Han Xiezi surrender to the imperial court? Didn't he promise to resist to the end?"
Luo Xingchen frowned.
Near Yilong City, there are two larger cities on the left and right, namely Vision City and Longquan City.
The two cities are equivalent to the two gateways of Yilong City, forming a "pin" shape with Yilong City, so that they can look out for each other and help each other. In peacetime, the three cities echo each other. The formation of city clusters is conducive to economic development.
During the war, the three cities can support each other. If you want to capture Yilong City, you must first capture Vision City and Longquan City.
Otherwise, if you take a detour to attack Yilong City, you may be attacked from the front and rear by the armies of Yuanjing City and Longquan City. In this way, the possibility of failure is high.
"Han Xiezi is a smart man, Yang Yuanhua has already fled to Hongye Pass, why should he fight so hard."
Jiao Feilong said.
"Yes, Han Xiezi has been in power for many years and has made enough money. As long as he keeps his life, even if he cannot be an official in the future, he will still be a rich man and his good life will not be lost."
Luo Xingchen said.
From a personal point of view, he dislikes such so-called smart people.
Follow whichever side is strong. Feng Shui is two-sided, without any persistence or belief.
How can such a person be trusted?
But from the court's point of view, it is precisely the existence of such so-called "people who understand current affairs" that will reduce a lot of killings, and many ordinary people can survive.
So, he is still willing to accept those who surrender.
This also gives a signal to the other side. You see, even people like Han Xiezi can save their lives and wealth by submitting to the imperial court. What do the rest of the people have to worry about? If things get serious, they can surrender directly. Just fine.
"How to deal with it, General, you decide."
Jiao Feilong said.
"Okay, you go contact him."
As for the worry that Han Xiezi will pretend to surrender, there is no need to put it on the table, as long as you are prepared behind the scenes.
……
“Is this a place of seclusion?”
The Crown Prince Yang Xinqi looked at the mist-shrouded mountain peaks ahead and gasped.
In the Prince's Mansion, Yang Xinqi was pampered and had always been in poor health. This time when he entered the deep mountains, he had to climb many places by himself. In this way, he suffered a lot. Now he sees With the mountains ahead, my mentality was a little broken.
Because, Wangshan is a dead horse. The mountains ahead seem to be in front of him. If he really wants to cross them, he doesn’t know how long it will take. He feels like he is about to faint. How can he climb over them next? The mountains. "Yes, Master, in front of you is the place where our ancestors stayed. It is a geomantic treasure."
Standing next to him is Mo Hanxiao, the leader of the guard who was a military general. This man is very powerful. Strong, despite walking so many mountainous roads, he is still energetic, which is in sharp contrast to the frail appearance of the crown prince Yang Xinqi.
"Old Mo, look at me, I can't walk anymore. If I keep walking, I'm going to die here."
The prince found a stone and sat down directly.
"Your Majesty, we can't stop. As you know, our ancestors value this very much. If the younger generations can't walk on any mountain road, why are they coming here... These are the original words of our ancestors."
Mo Hanxiao said hurriedly.
He didn’t mean to make the crown prince Yang Xinqi suffer... He didn’t have the guts.
This is the request of the ancestors. If you want to see him, you must at least come by yourself. If you rely on others to carry you here, the ancestors will get angry and will really drive them away.
If the ancestors cannot invite him, the Yang family in Bozhou may suffer the disaster of annihilation. Who will take the blame? Anyway, he, Mo Hanxiao, is just a rough guy and can't afford it.
"Okay, then I'll hold on a little longer."
The Crown Prince Yang Xinqi sighed.
In fact, he didn’t know what his ancestor meant.
He just couldn't hold on and subconsciously wanted to find an excuse, but in fact, he knew it well.
No matter what, he had to bite the bullet.
However, he would stop for a short break and drink some water while walking.
The dangers that appeared along the road were all solved by Mo Hanxiao and the guards who followed him. He only had to be responsible for walking. If he couldn't walk through it, he would not only be unable to pass the test of his ancestors. , even he looks down on himself.
“In front is Danxia Pavilion.”
Mo Han roared.
The Crown Prince Yang Xinqi looked around and saw a pavilion between the clouds and mist. It was beautifully built and shrouded in the clouds and mist, like a fairyland.
He walked over, entered the pavilion, and looked to the side.
It is evening at this time, and a glow can be seen from the side.
"No wonder it's called Danxia Pavilion. This pavilion is very artistic." The Crown Prince Yang Xinqi took a deep breath. He was very tired physically, but his spirit was still good.
"Our ancestors built it many years ago." Mo Hanxiao said softly.
This is the first time for the crown prince Yang Xinqi to come to Danxia Pavilion, but it is not the first time for Mo Hanxiao. He used to escort various supplies into the mountains.
Although the ancestor lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests, all kinds of food and clothing are still brought in from outside. Therefore, Old Ancestor Yang is not that kind of real hermit.
"My ancestor was a scholar. He couldn't stand the darkness of the court in his early years, so he resigned now." Yang Xinqi, the eldest son, said.
“Our ancestors are like heavenly beings, and ordinary people cannot compare to them.”
Mo Hanxiao said this, but he didn't think so in his heart.
He has met the ancestor of the Yang family more than once.
This person has a strong ambition for fame and fortune. In his early years, his so-called seclusion in the mountains and forests was just a means of retreat. Later, when he got older, he really didn’t want to get involved with the outside world and just wanted to be in the mountains and forests. Enjoy life.
"Old Mo, let's go down to see our ancestors."
The Crown Prince Yang Xinqi stayed in Danxia Pavilion for a while. After sighing for a while, when his body recovered a little, he got up and walked out of the pavilion. Pavilion.
Behind him, a dozen guards quickly followed.
The road going down from the pavilion is well built. It is a wide flat road that can pass horse-drawn carriages.
The Crown Prince Yang Xinqi walked for a while, and when he turned a corner, he saw a building in front of him.
