Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 720 Let’s set some rules for Yang Yuan
Soldiers stood solemnly in front of the camp of the first general of the imperial cavalry stationed in Xingyuan Prefecture.

As soon as Yang Yuan's convoy arrived, they were stopped by them.

A lieutenant in the army pressed his sword and said in a deep voice: "Who dares to trespass into the military camp?"

The leading guard was furious: "Asshole, didn't you see the flag?

Yang Yuan, the commander-in-chief of the imperial army stationed in Lizhou Central Route, will inspect the camp today."

"I saw it."

The accompanying military lieutenant said with a wry smile: "But isn't this flag something that is very easy to forge?"

"What, you..."

"If I let you in like this, and you are considered spies from the enemy country, I will not be able to bear the consequences."

Yang Yuan's guards were originally from the imperial guards. They were the most arrogant and conceited group among all the military factions.

Hearing this, he flew into a rage, and with a clang, he drew his knife.

The soldiers in front of the camp gate immediately pointed their guns at each other.

A halberd-wielding officer waved his hand and ordered the nearby soldiers to hold their bows and guns and be on high alert.

He said sternly: "Anyone who dares to trespass into the military camp will die!"

Yang Liangao was riding on his horse, looking at Yang Yuan somewhat awkwardly.

Yang Yuan looked calm, smiled slightly, and rode forward, saying, "Captain, what is your name?"

A hint of unnaturalness flashed across the captain's face.

Yang Yuan saw it and had an idea in his mind.

This accompanying military captain actually knew who he was.

This is a bit interesting.

The captain felt a little nervous when Yang Yuan asked him this question.

But he changed his mind and thought: The general asked me to make things a little difficult for him to let him know that we are not so easy to control.

If he wants the troops in Lizhong to obey him, he will have to curry favor with our generals in the future.

This way we all can have a better life.

If I succeed in this matter, General Shi will definitely promote me.

Even if he gave me twenty military sticks just to appease Yang Yuan's anger, General Shi had to promote me one more level just to recruit me. It's worth it.

Thinking of this, he glared and said proudly: "My surname is Yang, Yang Fugui."

"Oh, so you are my cousin, hahahaha, good, good, you can stick to military discipline and not be afraid of the powerful, good."

Yang Yuan raised his hand and waved it gently: "Take out my seal and tiger talisman and show it to this captain Yang from our family."

"Who are you from? Stop trying to be related to me."

The captain pushed away the seal handed over by guard Yang Yuan, rolled his eyes and said, "How can a lowly official like me recognize your seal?"

After hearing this, Yang Yuan was not annoyed at all, but laughed even more happily.

He bent down slightly from his horse, looked at Yang Fugui with a smile, and said, "Well, what do you think we should do?"

The captain sneered, he had indeed got him under control.

Humph, you are a foreigner. Even if you are a powerful dragon, when you come here, you have to coil yourself up first.

He said proudly, "Of course, our general needs to send someone to verify your identity before taking you in."

Yang Yuan said amiably, "Oh, in that case, please ask the captain to send someone to inform General Shi Han."

Fan Qing was riding on a horse and could see everything clearly.

Even though she didn't understand military affairs, she could see that the captain was targeting her.

She could sense this person's ill will towards Yang Yuan.

Fan Qing couldn't help but frown slightly. Why didn't this villain lose his temper?
He is such a bad person with such a vicious mind that he forced my eldest brother to kill my fourth cousin's entire family. We should not be so lenient with him.

Dao Feifei also curled her lips slightly. She thought he was so powerful, but he is such a useless man.

However, Yang Liangao felt a faint sense of excitement.

Ever since he moved into the Taiwei Mansion, he had taken advantage of every opportunity to ask the servants in the mansion about Yang Yuan's situation in a roundabout way.

Although the information they told Yang Liangao was fragmentary, after Yang Liangao integrated it, he had a clearer judgment about Yang Yuan.

He didn't believe that Yang Yuan could be so tolerant.

How could a man who is so young, but has risen to the supreme position in Sichuan through his tremendous achievements, be so easy to talk to?
He could already smell blood.

However, Yang Fugui obviously did not smell any blood.

He just felt that this foreign official was indeed a coward.

Yang Yuan knew that the Western Army was not easy to deal with, but he also wanted to create an illusion of being magnanimous, tolerant and magnanimous, which was why he was so compromising.

Captain Yang rolled his eyes and said arrogantly, "You can't prove your identity yet, and you ask me to send someone, so I will send someone?
If you are a liar, what if the commander blames me?"

Yang Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Since you don't trust my identity and don't want to check my seal, you should send someone to report it.

But you are unwilling to send anyone, so you want me to accept this rejection?"

"Why not?"

Yang Fugui waved his hand impatiently: "Go, go, go away."

Yang Yuan's face darkened. "I am here today as the First General of the Cavalry Army to inspect the troops. Since you can't make me talk, I have no choice but to force my way in."

Yang Yuan raised his horse and walked forward.

The halberd-wielding officer pointed his halberd forward and shouted, "Stop! Otherwise, you will die!"

Yang Yuan continued to move forward with a smile on his face.

The man holding the halberd took two steps back and said angrily, "Come on, stop him."

Yang Yuan glanced around and said coldly, "I am General Yang Yuan, let's see who dares!"

"Swipe!"

Several long spears stabbed at him without any explanation.

Yang Yuan laughed in anger and shouted, "Xiaoshou!"

Yang Shou rushed out on his horse, two hammers already in his hands.

He rushed to Yang Yuan and swung his sledgehammer, breaking one spear and sending two flying.

The person Shi Han sent to greet him was waiting in the dark. He originally wanted to wait until Yang Yuan was humiliated and angry, and then he would rush over and find a reason to explain that he had missed the opportunity to pick him up.

Yang Yuan was a new official who had no foundation in Li Zhong. He would certainly not rebel against the generals in Li Zhong over this trivial matter.

By then, he should understand what attitude he should have towards the generals in Li Zhong.

However, he didn't expect that Yang Yuan would actually take action directly. He was so anxious that he slapped his butt and rushed out in a hurry.

"Stop, everyone, stop!"

The man rushed over quickly, threw off his horse, knelt on one knee, and said in panic: "I am late to greet you, please forgive me, General!"

Yang Yuan raised his hand to stop Yang Shou and asked calmly, "Who are you?"

"Song Bingzhen, the first guerrilla general of the imperial cavalry stationed in Xingyuan Prefecture."

"Oh, take it!"

Yang Yuan said this casually, and immediately rushed over to the two guards, and captured Song Youji without any explanation.

Song Bingzhen was stunned: "General Fu, I am here to welcome you at the order of the current commander."

Yang Yuan used his horsewhip to point at the accompanying captain Yang Fugui, the halberd-bearing captain, and the several soldiers who had just attacked.

"Catch all these people."

There was a soldier there who still seemed unable to see the situation clearly. He roared angrily when he heard the words and raised his rifle.

Yang Yuan said coldly: "Song Youji has already proved my identity, who dares to disobey? Are you going to rebel..."

The soldier froze.

Yang Yuan's guards rushed forward and tied up the seven people together.

Yang Yuan kicked his legs in the stirrups and said, "Let's go in and take a look." He walked slowly towards the military camp and saw a large parade ground in the distance.

The troops were in neat formation on the parade ground, with flags fluttering.

On the stage, Gao Gan held up the parasol with his hands, looked towards the camp gate, and said in surprise: "Hey, General Yang is here, hurry up, let's go and greet him. Old Shi?"

"oh oh!"

Shi Han suddenly woke up.

What happened today was a move that was jointly discussed by the civil and military ministers of Lizhong.

This was a rare joint meeting of the civil and military officials of the Yang Family Army in Li Zhong, except when they were fighting foreign wars.

They wanted to give Yang Yuan a warning and let him know that Li Zhong's civil and military officials were not so easy to control.

This incident also determined the attitude of the civil and military officials in Lizhong towards the new commander-in-chief during the "Grand Meeting of Yamen".

However, I don’t know whether the people below have grasped the scale.

He just wanted to make Yang Yuan understand that Lizhong's civil and military affairs were not something that could be manipulated at will by a boss like him who showed up halfway.

Moreover, this opportunity is best now.

The longer time drags on, the longer Yang Yuan sits in the position of Li Zhongdu Commander, and the more powerful his official authority becomes, making it harder to control him.

Therefore, you have to set rules for him early.

I just hope those brainless soldiers below can know how to behave. If they embarrass him too much, it will be difficult for everyone to get along with each other in the future.

Only then did Shi Han come to his senses when he heard Gao Gan's shout.

Gao Gan didn't know about this because he was careless and straightforward, not a suitable person to discuss conspiracies.

Discussing it with him may easily lead to the news leaking out.

When Shi Han heard that Yang Yuan had already entered the camp, he was delighted.

It seems that Yang Yuan has been defeated, and Song Youji has successfully brought him in, and the timing is just right.

Unexpectedly, when he and Gao Gan excitedly arrived in front of Yang Yuan, before he even bowed to greet him, his face changed.

He saw six or seven people tied up with rags stuffed in their mouths, and Guerrilla Song was among them.

"Commander Fu, this... this is..."

"General Shi, General Gao, this is Young Master Yang from Dali."

Shi Han and Gao Gan had no choice but to suppress their doubts and greet Yang Liangao first.

Yang Liangao did not dare to be arrogant, and quickly dismounted and saluted the two generals.

Yang Yuan smiled and said, "Young Master Yang can help us get the best Dali horses. So, is it okay for me to invite Young Master Yang to observe the military review?"

Shi Han looked at the kidnapped Song Bingzhen and others, feeling uneasy, so he had to force a smile and said, "No problem, no problem."

Yang Yuan chuckled, dismounted, and walked straight to the command platform.

Shi Han had no choice but to give Song Bingzhen a soothing look, then hurriedly followed Yang Yuan.

Yang Liangao followed behind Yang Yuan and walked up to the stage with him.

Yang Liangao looked down from the stage and saw flags flying on the parade ground.

There were two divisions on the left and right, one for cavalry and one for infantry.

The soldiers were wearing fur coats and leather armor, with strong bows and sharp swords. They were fierce and powerful, and exuded a murderous aura.

The soldiers of the Western Army are indeed elite.

For a moment, Yang Liangao's heart was filled with excitement.

With such a strong army, if you lend me one, plus my family's many years of management in Dali, are you still afraid that the Duan family will not give up the throne?

When Shi Han saw Yang Yuan standing still, he stepped forward solemnly and announced loudly: "This is our commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief of all the troops stationed in front of the emperor in Lizhou East Road, Yang Yuan, all the officers and soldiers greet you!"

After saying that, Shi Han took a few steps back, and stood behind Yang Yuan, one on the left and one on the right, with Gao Gan.

The messenger in the army passed on Shi Han's call.

Yang Yuan held the commander's seal in one hand and the tiger talisman in the other, took three steps forward, and raised the seal high.

The knights on horseback all dismounted and shouted in unison with the soldiers in the infantry phalanx: "Greetings, Commander-in-Chief!"

"Wow!" Thousands of soldiers and horses knelt on one knee in unison, and even the well-trained war horses immediately lay down on all fours.

The guards on Yang Yuan's left, right and even behind him, including Shi Han and Gao Gan, bowed together.

For a moment, on the entire reviewing platform, besides Yang Yuan, there were only two guests, Yang Liangao and Dao Feifei, and Fan Qing who was dressed in monk's robes and wearing a nun's hat.

Fan Qing and Dao Feifei had never seen such a majestic scene.

Even though they were women and had no interest in the military, they all watched with great pleasure.

Not to mention Yang Liangao, who was simply mesmerized by the scene.

Yang Yuan slowly lowered his hands and handed the seal to the guard beside him.

However, he did not order the three armies to rise.

Therefore, the soldiers of the three armies, on and off the stage, could only remain kneeling on one knee without moving.

Yang Yuan held the Nanzhao sword and paced slowly on the stage.

Walk from left to right, and then from right back to the middle. At this time, even people who are completely unaware of the situation will notice that something is wrong.

The entire training ground was shrouded in a strange atmosphere.

"My name is Yang Yuan. I'm new here, so you don't know me well."

The messenger took a deep breath and copied Yang Yuan's words.

Yang Yuan said, "I don't know, it doesn't matter. I will introduce myself."

Yang Yuan stood still, and suddenly raised his Dantian Qi. The sound seemed to shake the entire training ground, and there was no need for the messenger to repeat:
"I have killed Arab merchants who aided the enemy, fought against arrogant Jin generals, beheaded officials who broke the law, and scolded the prime minister to death."

"But... there are people who actually think that I, Yang, am easy to talk to. Tell me, isn't that funny?"

The entire training ground was in complete silence.

Gao Gan knelt there, his eyes rolling around.

Everything was fine, what happened suddenly?
Gao Gan shrugged in the direction of Shi Han and whispered, "Old Shi, Old..."

He suddenly noticed that Shi Han was kneeling on the ground with his head down, his face pale.

It was already late autumn, the sky was high and the air was crisp, but my temples were cold and sweat was flowing down my cheeks.

Shi Han knew that something was wrong and that he was in big trouble this time.

Gao Gan is a big mouth, but he is not stupid at all, otherwise he would not have been the first to respond to Chen Zhuoguang and stand up to support Yang Yuan that day.

As soon as he saw Shi Han's ugly look, he knew that something terrible might happen.

Gao Gan shrank his neck and knelt down obediently, as if there were donkey hairs stuffed in his ears, as if he heard nothing.

"I have heard of a saying... a new official starts with three things to do when he takes office. Have you not heard of it?

This means that when a new official takes office, he always has to show off his talents and courage.

Do you know the origin of these three fires? "

Yang Yuan paced back and forth as he spoke, and said in a loud voice: "These three fires came from the Prime Minister of Shu Han, Zhuge Liang!

You are all soldiers from Sichuan and Xia, so you should be familiar with Zhuge Kongming, right? "

"The origin of these three fires comes from Zhuge Liang."

"A fire, the Battle of Bowangpo, defeated Xiahou Dun and Yu Jin!"

"Second battle, the Battle of Xinye. Defeat Cao Ren and Li Dian!"

"Three fires, the Battle of Red Cliffs. Water and fire attacks, defeated Cao Cao!"

Having said this, Yang Yuan stood still again, and suddenly lowered his voice: "Three fires, all of them will kill people!"

No matter how loud or soft Yang Yuan's voice was, the messenger just passed on the words one by one, and by the time it reached this point, the voice was already a little hoarse.

Then, on the parade ground, one hoarse, rough, or sharp voice after another shouted, "They are all going to die!"
