Qin and Yan launched an arduous tug-of-war on the outskirts of Chang'an. The war fell into a stalemate for a while, and Yao Qin, who was sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fighting, would not wait. He used Xinping as a base to deploy troops in all directions, intending to take this opportunity to completely conquer Yongzhou and Qin. Zhou, based here, completely isolated Chang'an and the two countries of Qin and Yan who are fighting to the death, and when the time comes to send troops to advance and retreat, they will have confidence, so they will not be afraid of Murong Chong's revenge and challenge.

These two prefectures still belong to the former Qin Dynasty in name. In fact, the governors of the prefectures or counties either fled, rebelled or were killed. Thieves and warlords have long been entrenched in various places. It is a state of complete anarchy. With the fighting power of the Qiang army, it is not a problem to clear out the bandits. However, the leader is still a problem.

If it is said that this is the credit for the pacification of the two major states and counties in the Central Plains, the eldest son Yao Xing said that he did not want to be a lie, but he did not want to leave Xinping at this time to lead the army to go out - it should be noted that the candidate for the rescue of Chang'an at the request of Dou Chongzhi is still undecided - ——It is said to "aid" Chang'an, and it is clear that everyone knows that they are going to take advantage of the gap to seize Chang'an. If Chang'an is established as the capital, it can be regarded as justified to win Guanzhong, and its merits are even higher than the sky.Yao Xing couldn't give up the two-phase balance, and was discussing with Yin Wei repeatedly, but at this moment, he saw Yao Song stepping in wearing red clothes, and respectfully called "brother", Yao Xing responded, and he turned around and turned to Yin Weixing After a half ceremony, he said softly: "Lord Yin." Yin Wei pretended not to hear it, but hummed in a neutral manner.After all, Yao Song is the prince of the Yao clan, and giving a half-gift to a Hanchen is enough to give face. Yin Wei's move is the following big disrespect. Yao Xing glanced at him lightly, but didn't say anything, only said to Yao Song: "Have you read all the scriptures borrowed that day?" Yao Song nodded. He came to return the scriptures on this trip - Buddhism was just emerging at that time, and all the scriptures that flowed into the Central Plains were rare. Yao Xing was like a treasure. See Yao Song has made great progress in studying Buddhism recently, and he often asks for advice and discusses with him before lending it. It is difficult for others to take a look.

"Do you have any new insights?" Yao Xing asked interestingly——Yin Wei is full of knowledge, but he only likes Lao Zhuang, and he sneers at Buddhism and Buddhism. As for the other generals in the Qiang army, in Yao Xing's view, they were like illiterate wood, stone, deer and hogs, who were only worthy of being ordered to chop and kill.Looking around the city, only Yao Song, the former opponent, can discuss a thing or two.

Yin Wei saw that the two brothers started talking and expressing their opinions again, suddenly his eyes rolled, and he thought about it, and suddenly changed his expression of harmony, and interjected: "Just now I was discussing with His Royal Highness the candidates for the expedition to Qinzhou and Yongzhou. There is a candidate—since you don’t want Wu Zhong to lead troops to pacify Erzhou, why not let the young master go?”

Yao Xing and Yao Song were all taken aback when they heard that, Yao Xing knew that Yin Wei never wanted to see Yao Song, he repeatedly advised him to kill the grass, and he did not hesitate to turn against him, why this time he went against the norm and wanted to give Yao Song a big contribution for nothing.

Yao Song was stunned for a moment, and quickly shook his head with a wry smile: "Master Yin thinks highly of me. It is okay for Zijun to give advice, but it is absolutely impossible to lead troops on the battlefield. Zijun has neither the ability nor the ambition. I'd better ask Mr. Yin to ask another Gao Ming."

Yin Wei was not impressed, stroked his beard and said: "Young master is too modest. There is no big enemy in Qinzhou and Yongzhou now. As soon as our master Wang arrives, he must have looked forward to the wind and surrendered. The young master is used to strategizing and should deal with it." It's more than enough. Since the young master is in the same heart as the son, why don't you share his worries and solve his problems?"

Yao Song sleeved his hands, with a helpless expression on his face: "Master Yin still doesn't believe in Zijun? Zijun knows that it's fine to be a military adviser, and it is absolutely impossible to lead troops to fight. And now I have just returned to the country, full of turmoil, and I just want to follow along with you." I don't want to go to the fact that my elder brother is studying literature and copying scriptures, fighting and killing."

Yao Xing had already heard Yin Wei's intention of probing, so at this moment he couldn't help but secretly glanced at him complacently, and said to himself: You always said that Yao Song had evil intentions and planned to make a comeback. Right people?But Yin Wei refused to give up, pestering and persuading Yao Song was so entangled that he had no choice but to say: "If elder brother is worried about Wu Zhong leading the army, and he doesn't want to take advantage of people with foreign surnames, Zijun can recommend someone."

"Who?" Yao Xing's heart trembled, could it be that this kid is secretly cultivating his own power in the army like Yin Weisuoyan?Yao Song raised his voice and answered generously: "General Yao Shuode, Zhengxi General."

"Second Uncle?!" Yao Xing did not expect that Yao Song would recommend him. This man is the younger brother of his father Yao Chang. After Yao Chang rebelled against Qin Zili, he was named General Zhengxi and Governor of Qinzhou. He led troops to guard Xiaoguan all the year round. In order to defend the western border, Yang Dingjiu was unable to cross Xiaoguan to help Qin that day, so he was blocked by this person, and he was a mighty general.It's just that this person has a great temper, is staunch, and does his own way. If he disagrees with others, he must fight with the people, even if he is killed. He was transferred away from Xinping, far away from the frontier and pulled down.

Yin Wei did not expect that Yao Song would propose this person—if it is said that the person in the Qiang army who is least likely to form a party for personal gain is this person, and he is also a relative of the Yao family, if he makes such a contribution, it will certainly be harmful to the consolidation of Yao's rule And there is no benefit, and it won't be easy for outsiders. This Yao Song really has a very fast brain.Yao Xing pondered for a moment but did not immediately agree. Yao Song saw the taboo in his heart, and said: "You can let the second uncle come back from Xiaoguan alone to take up the post, and then transfer some of Wu Zhong's soldiers and horses to mix with the elder brother's relatives. The editor will be handed over to the second uncle to lead, so that soldiers who don’t know the generals don’t know the soldiers, so nothing will go wrong.”

Yin Wei was secretly startled at this time, Yao Song was full of nothingness every day, his mind was still vicious and meticulous, and he was able to kill two birds with one stone.On the other side, I heard Yao Song continue: "If the elder brother is afraid that the second uncle will be reckless and offend others, so as to change the military situation, Mr. Yin can also follow the army supervisor, one is for supervision and management, and the other is to make suggestions, so that there will be no troubles. .”

Yao Xing nodded with a smile at this moment, Yao Song resolved all his concerns properly, and Yin Wei suddenly said speculatively beside him: "If I leave here, what will happen to my young master?"

There is a pun in Yao Xing's words, and there is a ghost in Yao Xing's heart. After hearing this, his expression changed slightly, and he looked at Yin Wei with a bad look, but Yao Song stared in surprise and said: "I just stayed where I was, and devoted myself to learning Buddhism. .With elder brother around, it’s like receiving advice from an eminent monk, and Zijun has nothing to ask for.”

Sure enough, this little ghost-like fox can't be left alone with Shizi!He left the city with the army, no matter how fast he went back and forth, it would still take nearly a month, how could he know if Yao Song would make trouble around the son again these days!Yin Wei made up his mind, so he got up and said to Yao Xing: "Since the son is determined to promote the young master, why not let him also go out with the army this time? The young master is smart and witty, and he is an uncle and nephew with General Zhengxi. If you want to say something, General Shuode How much you can listen to it."

Yao Song was surprised and waved his hands again, and was about to speak but was interrupted coldly by Yin Wei: "Young master just said that he can't fight and refuses to lead the army, but now he has to shirk after practicing with General Shuode, could it be Don't you want to share the worry for your son?"

So Yao Song was extremely unwilling to be dragged into the journey in all kinds of embarrassments. Yao Chang ordered Yao Xing to send him out of Xinping City in person. After Zhengxi General Yao Shuode was sent away like a plague god, this was the first time he returned to Beijing in two years. With a face like the bottom of a pot, a black tower rests on the horse.

"Zi Lue will give a family salute to my second uncle first, and I hope my second uncle's martial arts will be prosperous." Yao Xing clasped his fists and made a half-respect. Traveling with Guan Bo, he really stands out from the crowd, with a toga and long sleeves, and a personable demeanor.Yao Shuode bowed on the horse, Yao Xing hurriedly took a step forward, stretched out his hand to help, and said in a low voice: "Second uncle is in armor, so there is no need to return the gift and thank you." Unexpectedly, Yao Shuode only slightly lifted his buttocks away Saddle, stretched his hand in and let it go for a while, grinning on his face, he couldn't tell whether it was pleasure or pain.At the end, finally comfortable, he pressed his butt back to the seat again, and the horse suddenly took a heavy load on its hips, and its four hooves were fighting, trembling, wanting to fall or not. The horse's buttocks twitched several times, and he yawned lazily while the horse neighed in pain.

Yao Xing: "..."

How could Yin Wei just sit back and watch Yao Xing lose face in front of everyone, but Yao Shuode is also an unreliable guy, even Yao Chang refuses to accept him, who dares to scold him for being rude, so he has to come forward and say: "General Shuode Sure enough, he is born with supernatural powers, and he will definitely succeed in sweeping away the thugs here!" Who knows that Yao Shuode hated the Han people the most in his life, especially those literati who are good as hermits, and always felt that Yao Xing, a man of the Qiang nationality, must be as white as a millstone in this life. Ordinary Han people have been taught badly, they speak sourly and fake vinegar, and they like to add two large tents under their arms as sleeves when they have nothing to do, in order to make them feel as if they are walking in wind and water.So he ignored Yin Wei, the military adviser, and just turned his head and nodded to Yao Song who had put on his horse, and said: "Hufu riding and shooting, this is how we Qiang people dress up when we go out to fight! It is true that when the enemy comes and flees for his life, we can still fight." It is impossible to expect those two tents to turn into wings and fly back!" The only two "confucian scholars and literati" in the general who were in wide shirts and sleeves were completely offended by the words, and everyone who was close to the ground and heard the ground clearly laughed secretly.Yin Wei valued face the most, how could he be so angry, just about to retort, Yao Song hurriedly said: "General, the army should move out as soon as possible, it will be bad if it is delayed."

Yao Xing was already holding back his anger, wishing that the thorn would disappear immediately, he laughed stiffly and nodded again and again: "Very, very."

Only then did Yao Shuode turn his horse's head slowly, passing Yin Wei's horse like a wall without even turning his eyelids.

All the way, as Yin Wei expected, the rogues entrenched in the prefectures, counties, and counties were all temporary grasshead kings, and they were almost vulnerable to the regular army. Most of them broke up in a hurry, or fled or surrendered.There are one or two stubborn bandits, but they won't be able to survive for three to five days. Yao Shuode is still a barbarian, and when he becomes murderous, he will kill all these stubborn bandits in a moment of anger.Yin Wei was shocked. If the later Qin Dynasty wanted to gain a firm foothold in Qinzhou and Yongzhou, it could not blindly rely on killing to frighten people like when it first entered Xinping. What's more, they were all bandits from the time of the people and bandits. They could be recruited into the army and serve Yao Xing The expansion of the army, and the next battle between Eli and Murong Chong, naturally refused to agree, and the most intense dispute in history broke out between the two.Yin Wei cites the scriptures and satirizes Yao Shuode's layout with acrimony and eloquence. Yao Shuode doesn't know a lot of Chinese characters, so how can he argue with him?I had no choice but to remain unchanged and respond to all changes, pulling out the scimitar with a yell, and greeted the person's head!

Yin Wei was shocked, but he didn't expect this barbarian to use force directly. He turned around and ran away in shock. Yao Song quickly jumped out to block Yao Shuode: "General, calm down!" Yao Shuode was panting like a cow, "Zi Jun, don't stop I'm going to kill this old man!" Yao Song persuaded: "General killing him is like killing a dog's ear, but beating a dog depends on the master. Where is the general to His Royal Highness? Where is the father? "That's all, Yao Shuodeyou said bitterly: "I don't know what's so good about this Han Chinese who pretends to be a screwdriver! One or two listen to them like a grandson, and Yao Xing, who hasn't seen him instigating, doesn't look like a Qiang He's a man!" Yao Song knew that when Yao Shuode and his elder brother Yao Chang went to the former Qin Dynasty to work for Fu Jian, they were often teased, suppressed and isolated by Wang Meng, the "first prime minister in Guanzhong" at that time. The Huns and Qiangs all migrated to the barren land. In the Central Plains, only the Han people and the Sinicized Di people established the former Qin Dynasty, and they ruled across the river from the Zhengshuo Eastern Jin Dynasty, and they will always be neighbors—but although Fu Jian always obeyed Wang Meng’s words But this time he didn't think so at all. What he wanted was for the five Hus to prosper and unify the world, so after Wang Meng's death, he ignored his last words and sent millions of troops to the Southern Jin Dynasty, and suffered the first fatal defeat in his life on the shore of Feishui.

So Yao Song sighed: "Zi Jun said something offensive. If it is not my race, his heart must be different. We still have to rely on us Qiang people to govern the country! My eldest brother is also good for his father and the queen, but he can't bear the time when others Immediately instigate." Yao Shuode was about to get angry again with a single sentence, but he hurriedly tried to comfort and persuade, and every time this barbarian general's nest became more and more suffocated, the disturbance along the way could be described as wildfire and dog jumping, tidying up the ground Yin Wei was miserable, and wished he could finish his job sooner and withdraw his troops. He claimed to be a first-class figure of Kong Ming. In the later Qin Dynasty, Yao Xing was appreciated by no one.

When he was struggling with his fingers, he met a group of bandits from Guanzhong who occupied Pingshi City and made himself king. After seeing Yao Jun, he refused to surrender, and occupied the high wall and thick corner of the city to resist stubbornly.Although Yao Shuode was brave, the soldiers under his command were miscellaneous troops that Yao Xing deliberately transferred to him from the four divisions. The fighting power was not as good as the soldiers he used to bring. They were usually intimidating but full of prestige. Even after three days of besieging the city, they couldn't beat it.Yao Shuode wanted to fight in person, but Yao Song couldn't stop him, so he had to let him take most of the elite soldiers out of the camp to attack the city, and he led more than [-] remaining soldiers and prisoners to sit in the center.

Unexpectedly, the battle was very difficult, and when the sun was setting and the western mountains still did not return to the camp, Yao Song was waiting on the ground, restless, when he heard a few sharp whistles from the stretch of the army tent, and then the footsteps became chaotic, Yao Song turned back and asked "What's the matter?" Some of his subordinates immediately rushed to investigate, and after a while, they saw Yin Wei, who had been hiding in the tent for the past few days, flying over. !" Yao Song was shocked and said, "What's going on?!"

"A few days ago, the captives who were recruited saw that our army was all out and no one was guarding the camp, so they hacked to death the officer guarding them, grabbed their weapons and came over!" Yao Song suddenly covered his mouth in disbelief: "What can I do? Alright! It depends on the hundreds of old and weak Qiang soldiers left in our hands, how to meet the enemy several times! Unless the general returns to the army to rescue me, otherwise I will die here without a doubt!" The traitor set fire to the tents everywhere, and the screams and killings gradually approached.Yin Wei also anxiously said: "You're right, we can't sit still and let people protect us to retreat to Shiping City. If we meet General Yao and return to the army, we will be saved!"

Without further ado, the two of them flew on their horses immediately. Yao Song was wearing a Hu suit, so he was naturally light and fast; fell to the ground.Seeing that the situation was critical, the deputy general didn't care about etiquette, he picked him up and threw him to the saddle, and whipped the horse's buttocks several times, Yin Weicai bumped away dangerously.Yin Wei is Yao Xing's most effective adviser, who in the Qiang army would dare not give up his life to protect him, as for Yao Song, the old prince, he has no time to take care of him, and the two were separated in the chaos.

Yao Song single-handedly galloped among the mountain roads, gritted his teeth and galloped desperately, dozens of horsemen behind him pursued closely, the sound of killing was loud, and several times he was about to be overtaken, Yao Song always took advantage of the horse at the last moment Well, depending on the terrain, he escaped from the sky, but seeing that the mountain road has come to an end, and when he reaches the plain of Yimapingchuan, it is absolutely impossible to escape the siege again!Sure enough, as soon as they turned around the pass, the dozens of pursuers spread out in a fan shape, closing the distance between each other little by little, and the leader shouted wildly: "Yao Songxiu go!" Linlin, the smoke and dust billowed, and then looked at the leading flag, there was a "Yao" word!Yao Song was ecstatic, and he didn't know where the strength came from, so he rode his horse and whipped and rushed away, only shouting "Second Uncle, help!"

Yao Shuode finally razed Pingshi City to the ground and returned victorious with a bad breath. Unexpectedly, seeing this change suddenly, he recognized Yao Song and ordered his troops to go to meet him, and took Yao Song back to the army when he was exhausted.

The dozens of cavalry rebels were wiped out in no time, and Yao Shuode ordered someone to help Yao Song, and said anxiously: "What's going on?! How could there be a mutiny in a good camp?!" Yao Song explained the whole story in a state of shock, Yao Shuode said angrily: "I said earlier that if it is not within my clan, the hearts must be different. It is the old man Yin Wei who prevents me from killing all the captives, so as to cause today's disaster!" Turning red, he said impatiently: "It's worth crying, when my army goes back, how much can those mobs be able to stop!?" Yao Song looked up at him, hesitant to speak, Yao Shuode asked again and again, and said: " The second uncle didn't know something, but Zi Jun was really afraid just now... The traitor chased after him all the way, shouting loudly, 'Yao Song, leave!'..."

"What's the matter—" Yao Shuode waved his hand disapprovingly, then suddenly stopped, frowned and said, "Since they are captives, how do they know your name?!" Recalling the scene just now, this is not like a mutiny, but a Premeditated pursuit!

At this moment, some of his subordinates lined up the corpses of those traitors. Yao Shuode squatted down and lifted the armor of a corpse. He saw a totem of the head of a cow tattooed on the chest. Sacrificial sacrifices are endless. When the Qiang people were born, they often tattooed this tattoo on their bodies for protection.Yao Shuode got up angrily: "What's the matter! There are traitors in the Qiang army?! Who wants to kill you in the chaos?!" Yao Song lowered his head, infinitely wronged: "Second uncle, think about it, who else in the army has such a traitor? With such courage, you can order the Qiang army to infiltrate the rebels when the army is leaving the camp and the troops are empty, and kill me first and then play to get rid of me?!"

Yao Shuode's eyes darkened, and he raised his broom-like eyebrows fiercely: "Yin Wei! How dare he?!"

"He really hopes that the elder brother will only listen to him alone, and there is no one around him. No one in Xinping City knows that he sees me like a thorn in the flesh, and he will deal with it quickly! The second uncle led the army this time. It is also his suggestion , all the ministries dispatched miscellaneous troops and handed them over to you—otherwise, how could it be so bad?! Who doesn’t know that the second uncle is a relative of the Yao family, so how can he have two hearts! But he is determined to accompany the army to monitor him. I always persuade the second uncle to be patient. I'm just afraid that he will go back and slander me, making my eldest brother and second uncle even more divorced..." Yao Song sighed almost sadly, "If second uncle doesn't believe it, just go back and see if Yin Wei is unharmed."

Yin Wei, who is nearly half a century old, was bumpy all the way, disheveled and in disarray. He was finally escorted by the crowd and waited until Yao Shuode's army, and his heart was completely relaxed. He put his head on the bridle and said to Yao Shuode: "The general is finally back! I have something to say!" Yao Shuode looked up and down silently for a long time with a frozen black face, and suddenly, amidst his endless chatter, he pulled out his saber from his waist!

A column of blood splashed towards the sky, drenching Yao Song's head and face nearby. He raised his hand to wipe his eyes, and saw a head with beard and hair all open and eyes staring rolling to the ground in the little blood foam.

Yao Shuode swung his knife into its sheath, and said coldly: "This old villain will kill him as soon as he kills him, but how can he explain to his son when he goes back?"

Yao Song pursed the corners of his mouth lightly in the backlight, and suddenly grabbed the saber of the soldier beside him and swiped it violently across his arm!Blood splattered everywhere, he calmly said: "Yin Wei tried to assassinate the royal family in vain, everyone knows that the evidence is solid, the general executes according to law, what's wrong?"
