Chapter 875 Yan Dog
Small building,
Yashe,
The antique tables and chairs are equipped with exquisite pastries and expensive tea. On one side, there is a burning sandalwood tree. Fragrant;
Prince Pingxi, who had just taken a bath, was leaning there lazily, his hair still slightly wet.
Outside, a middle-aged man is kneeling. The man has a Chinese character face, which gives him an aura of majesty;
There are actually many people with this kind of face in the court, because in this era, the appearance is also One of the qualifications for becoming an official, especially in the early years, there was no imperial examination in the Yan State;
As for the Qian State, which has had an imperial examination for hundreds of years, except for a few individuals with outstanding abilities, most of them can do it. At least he was a gentleman when he was young.
And among the people, a person with this kind of appearance must at least be a powerful landlord;
Without him, no matter how good the skin is, regardless of the gender, the hard life has been wasted for several years. , he will soon lose his appearance, and his appearance and temperament must be developed according to living conditions.
The person in front of me is the owner of Pengjiazhuang, which is adjacent to the border of Xiangsi Mountain. His name is Peng Kai.
Pengjiazhuang is a Zhuangzi, but this Zhuangzi has a large population. The Zhuangzi also has its own armed forces. Pulling out two thousand people is really relaxing, a bit like "Water Margin" It means "Zhujiazhuang".
The origin of Pengjiazhuang originated from the Yan army's attack on Qian. The main army of Qian State collapsed at the first touch and was defeated one after another. As a last resort, Emperor Qian once ordered the local government to go to the capital of Qin King. Haoqiang organized a rebel army under the leadership of the chief ministers and went to Beijing to defend the officials. It was a bit like starting a local regiment training.
After the war, these rebels were sent back.
But it is difficult for people who have eaten meat to go back and continue to eat grass. In addition, the Qianguo court did not hesitate to confer titles, intending to elevate the status of warriors and cultivate the martial virtues of Qianguo. Therefore, many leaders of the rebels were conferred titles. Most of the official positions were false, not real, but at least they were officially recognized by the imperial court as a status advancement.
Of course, there is another very important reason here. The higher the status, the less real money and silver rewards.
Pengjiazhuang was established under this situation. The previous owner of the village was named Peng, and Peng Kai was his adopted son. He married his daughter and became his son-in-law. After the owner died, because of his eldest son and The second sons both died on the way to King Qin. The remaining two sons, one was weak and the other was young, so Peng Kai inherited his position and further developed and consolidated Pengjiazhuang.
"Haha, come in."
"Yes."
Peng Kai walked in and did not dare to sit down. Instead, he changed the front direction and knelt again. He lay down.
He knelt very standardly, and it was the kneeling ceremony of Yan State.
“My king has always believed that although Ganren is no match for our Yan army on the battlefield, Ganren’s silver-armored guards can indeed overwhelm our Yan secret espionage department more than once.
But I really didn’t expect that there would be a nail planted by my Great Yan secret agent here.”
"Returning to the prince, our company has actually been developing and growing over the years, but before..."
"Okay, there is no need to explain to me. After all, I am also doing this because of you. , I was able to escape. The reason why I said this is to express my apology.
Come, I will use your tea instead of wine to toast you. "
Said, Zheng Fan picked up the teacup.
Peng Kai raised his head, looked at the prince, walked forward on his knees, carefully took the teacup, not caring about scalding it, and drank it all in one gulp!
< br>"Serving the prince in a humble position will have no regrets in this life! ”
Peng Kai pressed his forehead against the ground and kowtowed heavily.
"Sit and talk."
"Here!"
Peng Kai sat down.
It can be seen that his excitement is real.
As the thorn in the Secret Service in Qian Country, a spy who needs to remain anonymous and wait for the opportunity must have suffered too much in these years;
But he is lucky. Here he is waiting for the prince of Dayan, and this prince has just defeated Qianguo's Shangjing!
"Your Majesty, the news about the destruction of Shangjing City is genuine. Beizhi's family members who were originally in Shangjing City sent a message back early. Later, Beizhi sent people to inquire about it. The palace in Shangjing was also destroyed by me. Yan Huben broke through and captured many princes and nobles."
Zheng Fan nodded.
Although this raid was commanded by him, he did not personally participate after all. After that, he continued to break out and avoid being rounded up by the Qian army, and did not know much about the news from the outside.
At the earliest, because of the relationship between Yingjiawei, Ganjun almost made dumplings for him several times. However, later on, Yinjiawei’s activity frequency began to decrease, and Ganjun’s threat to him also increased. Keep getting lower.
But when they were approaching the border of Xiangsi Mountain, they still encountered a blockade by a cadre army. In the end, it was Peng Kai who led his men to defeat the cadre army and took him into Pengjiazhuang.
"The third gentleman under the prince's command should return soon." Peng Kai added.
The troops led by Xue San and Chen Xiong were the first suspects sent out by Zheng Fan, but they did not have much effect because the gangsters were more radical than they thought. Of course , the subsequent development was such that Ganren never dreamed that his own prince would be more radical than they thought.
In short, Xue San and his men arrived at Xiangsi Mountain and did not find the main force of the army. They immediately transferred and made some contact with Pengjiazhuang on the way.
Zheng Fan doesn’t know exactly where Xue San is now, but he should be back soon.
"Peng Kai."
"The humble position is here."
"What do you think will happen to Qian Country after this time?"
A man deeply involved in Qian Country A secret agent, sitting in a powerful position with his own weapons, is qualified to give him some opinions.
“If I return to the prince, the country of Qian will definitely be in chaos.”
"Be specific."
"Yes, once the center is destroyed, what will happen next is that local powerful people like Bei Shi will become more powerful, and the imperial court's deterrence to the local areas will be further weakened.
And if it is at this time, if I, the Great Yan, can send out a large army and surround it on three sides, I am afraid that the rear of the country will be It is unable to support the three fronts anymore.”
In the past, the Qian Kingdom was a country that truly centralized power in the imperial court. In order to ensure the supremacy of the central court, it implemented a method that was close to castration to the local areas;
This makes Qian Guo very timid during foreign wars, but very stable in internal suppression.
But this time when the capital was defeated, the Qian Kingdom's court lost all face. It would be difficult to integrate local forces next.
To put it bluntly, the majesty of the center often relies on its face. When everyone agrees, it becomes a superior existence. But when this face is torn off...
< br>It is impossible to say that the Qian Kingdom will be in the same situation as after the collapse of the Xia Dynasty, when the emperor had strong soldiers and horses.
“The reason why I took the risk to recruit Qian this time is because our country, Yan, really cannot withstand the heavy losses. Qian’s country must be destroyed, but not now. "
Peng Kai's eyes showed a hint of sadness, but it was quickly hidden by himself.
Of course he hopes that Dayan can immediately send his troops south to destroy the Qian Kingdom, at least half of the Qian Kingdom, so that his hidden identity can be revealed.
And if Dayan is not prepared to launch a large-scale attack next, he, and the Peng family village, will have to...
"Come back to the east of Jin with this king." Zheng Fan said, "Of course, if you want to continue to stay in the Secret Service, you can. This time it can be regarded as a great achievement. If you go back, you can be promoted."
"I am willing to follow the prince and serve! "Peng Kai made a choice.
"Then you, Zhuangzi, when my third son or Yishanbo arrive, please move away together."
"My lord...is it really possible?" Peng Kai looked surprised.
Zheng Fan nodded;
In fact, Peng Kai, as a nail in the secret service, has been nailed to Pengjiazhuang. Although he has always been "in the camp and his heart is in Yan", in the end, he is in Pengjiazhuang. I started a family and a career here;
No one is born with a heart of stone, not even a spy. Who is willing to abandon his wife and children unless he has to?
At this moment, a burst of shouting came from the southwest area of the small building, which also belonged to Pengjiazhuang.
The Yan soldiers near the small building immediately became alert.
Chen Xianba and Zheng Man went upstairs directly;
The prince himself was very calm. He pointed over there and asked Peng Kai who was standing beside him:< br>
“What’s the matter?”
“Some family matters have disturbed the prince, so I will handle them right now.”
"Well, I am a guest from afar. Since I am a guest, I naturally have to pay a visit."
"Your Highness..."
"Come, take me to see you. "
" "Here."
Peng Kai led the way, and the Yan army soldiers followed. When they arrived in front of another courtyard, they found that there were more than 20 people holding swords in the courtyard, and there were hundreds of people outside. The people from Pengjiazhuang pointed at them.
Peng Kai stepped forward and yelled at the people inside:
"What are you doing? Put down the knife!"
Those twenty or so people, look at me, let me see Look at you, originally they didn't have the advantage in numbers, but when they saw the group of Yan Army soldiers who appeared in front, their momentum immediately dropped. Many of them immediately dropped their weapons under the scolding of their masters. .
Only the leading man and woman glared at Peng Kai.
Both men and women are not too old. The women are probably only sixteen or seventeen years old, and the men are less than twenty, so they are all young people.
"Uncle San, I really didn't expect you to be such a person!"
The woman was holding a sword in her hand. While scolding Peng Kai, she rushed towards Zheng Fan with the sword. .
Chen Xianba stepped forward, blocked the opponent's sword with a hammer, and then kicked the woman to the ground with his heel.
When Chen Xianba was about to kill him with a single blow at the pace of a battlefield, he was stopped by the prince behind him:
"Stop."
< br>
Chen Xianba stopped.
The woman covered her chest and couldn't stand up for a while.
After all, Chen Xianba doesn’t understand what it means to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.
The woman in front of me is Peng Kai's eldest niece, the daughter of the eldest son of the original owner of Pengjiazhuang, and the man is the son of the second son.
At this time, the man held a knife and pointed it at Zheng Fan. For a moment, the soldier behind Zheng Fan immediately drew his bow and aimed an arrow at him.
The man immediately put the knife down again, his face struggling;
But he still twisted his face and asked;
"Who are you!"
Actually, They should already have the answers they should have. After all, the Yan Army's armor system is too distinctive compared to the Qian Army.
Zheng Fan looked at him,
Said:
"My surname is Zheng."
"Ping...Ping Xiwang!"
"Cang Dang!"
The knife in the man's hand, He fell to the ground, and the faces of the people behind him also showed horror.
They knew that the leader of their family had led the Yan army in, but they did not know the identity of the leader of the Yan army.
After learning that King Pingxi was standing in front of him, the man lost all his courage and knelt down on the ground dejectedly.
This is not a rehearsal or a drill, purely because the three words "Pingxi King" are so intimidating that it really stops a child from crying on dry land.
Zheng Fan waved his hand,
Chen Xianba immediately kicked their swords away with his soldiers and tied them all up.
Peng Kai's face was livid. He did not dare to show his face to the "Prince". No matter what, he was a Yan person loyal to the Yan State. He was angry that after the Prince clearly told him that he could move with the people of Pengjiazhuang. When I went to Yan State, there was such a commotion in my home!
“Let’s go in and take a look.”
Zheng Fan took a step forward and walked in.
Peng Kai followed immediately.
The soldiers on both sides spread out to clear out possible threats, but people from Pengjiazhuang were not allowed in.
Zheng Fan whispered: "Their father was killed by you, right?"
"As for the prince, it was done by me. When the prince attacked Qian, Pengjiazhuang sent troops to the capital to help the king. On the way, the eldest young master of Pengjiazhuang fell off his horse and died. On the way back, the second young master died of illness. "
"It's hard for you too," Zheng Fan said with a smile.
After all, when Pengjiazhuang raised troops to serve the king, no matter how many times he went back and forth, he actually never encountered the Yan army, and there was no war. In this case, he had to calculate and kill the two successors ahead of him. It's really not easy for people to avoid showing off their flaws.
“I believe that taking control of Pengjiazhuang will play an important role in the future use of troops by Yan Duiqian.”
"Yes, very good."
There were many people standing at the entrance of the hall. They were all surrounded by soldiers, and most of them were women.
The one at the front is an old lady with gray hair sitting on the Taishi chair, holding a python in her hand.
Beside the old lady, there was a woman standing.
When he saw this woman, Peng Kai had anger in his eyes and scolded:
"Min'er, why are you doing this!"
She is Peng Kai's wife and the daughter of the Peng family. After Peng Kai was adopted as an adopted son by the old village owner, he betrothed his daughter to She is like a close friend.
When Pengjiazhuang became a climate and became a relatively large-scale landlord armed force in the land east of Xiangsi Mountain, originally Peng Kai was not qualified to inherit the position, even if he was an adopted son, just like No matter how powerful the adopted sons and commanders of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion were, it was still not their turn to sit in the position of the Zhenbei Marquis.
Being able to convince the public and be on stage all depends on his status as a "son-in-law".
It was this identity that made it possible for Peng Kai to ascend to power and clean up Zhuangzi.
Originally, in order to welcome the arrival of the prince, Peng Kai controlled all the "unstable" factors in the family, including the two juniors at the door, who were also placed under house arrest.
But his wife, the owner’s wife, actually went behind her back and released the two juniors from their confinement. Only then did the two juniors gather some of their subordinates and break into the place.
The old lady sitting on the Grand Master's chair stared at Peng Kai, poked the ground hard twice with the python crutch,
said:
"My son , are you a Ganren or a Yanren? ”
Peng Kai looked at Zheng Fan first, and saw that the prince didn't seem to be impatient. He had to take a deep breath, stepped forward, and bowed to the old lady politely,
said:
"To tell you my mother, I am from Yan."
"Okay, okay." The old lady A smile appeared on his face, "Unexpectedly, the person I took in back then turned out to be a Yan man. I am dazzled, no, I am blind!"
"My mother regards the child as my own, and the child is I will also treat my mother as my legitimate mother, and my children will serve my mother until they grow old.”
"Hehehe."
The old lady laughed,
asked slowly;
"Brother Que and Brother Chu, one fell off the horse and died, and the other Death of illness, but you did it?”
Peng Kai hesitated and nodded.
"Okay, okay. When I led you to King Qin in Beijing, I knelt in front of the Buddhist hall at home for more than a month just to pray for you;
Yes, I prayed. The old guy didn't meet the Yan people. This is Fortunately.
But my two sons are gone.
Do you know what the old man said to me after he came back?
He said, maybe you. There is a problem.”
Even if the old owner of Pengjiazhuang is not a tycoon-level figure, it is definitely not easy for him to start from scratch and judge the situation to build up this business.
"I saved your life, and it was I who married Minnie to you. I regard you as my own son;
I said to the old thing, Even if it’s a stone that I’ve been holding on to my chest for so many years, it’s time to keep it warm, right?
It was me who helped you take the position of the owner after the old man left. < br>
Original,
The old guy guessed it, right.
From the beginning to the end, I was blind. I, an old woman, lured a wolf into the house and killed a whole family. I was so blind! ! ! ”
Suddenly,
the old lady seemed to have thought of something again,
pointing at Peng Kai and asked:
"Since the old man came here, his health has been getting worse day by day. Is it you too? Are you anxious to let the old man make room for you?"
Peng Kai nodded heavily.
Peng Kai's wife, who was standing next to her, turned pale and collapsed on the ground.
The husband she loved deeply, the man for whom she raised her children, turned out to be the murderer of her father and two brothers.
The two young children were holding their mother in their arms, with fear and uneasiness in their eyes.
"Hehehe, hahahahahaha..."
The old lady laughed.
Smiling and smiling,
The old lady looked at Zheng Fan who was standing behind Peng Kai,
reaching out her hand,
Pointed,
asked;
"Are you..."
Zheng Fan took two steps forward,
bowed slightly,
Said:
"My surname is..."
"Bah!"
The old lady directly spat the bloody spit on Prince Pingxi's face.
The prince closed his eyes,
The soldiers around him immediately drew their swords.
The prince raised his hand to signal for peace of mind.
Chen Xianba stepped forward and delivered a handkerchief.
The prince took the handkerchief and wiped his face slowly;
After the old lady spat hard,
After taking a few breaths,
swore:
“Yangou!”
