In the Liyang common person eyes, now Beiliang will be a deathtrap, the plunging the people into disaster is sooner or later matter, when a carriage will be moveed to Youzhou by Hezhou, rather than will flee from calamity toward the overseas from Beiliang, then somewhat will appear swims against the stream. 在离阳寻常人眼中,如今北凉就是一座死地,生灵涂炭是早晚的事,所以当一辆马车由河州驶向幽州,而不是从北凉往境外逃难,便有些显得逆流而上。 The groom is a sleeve empty alone arm man, only remains a hand to grasp horse reins/bridle, controls the carriage as far as possible safely, compares the crude compartment fortunately, that horse quite big mystical of pulling a cart, how does not need the middle-aged groom to take the trouble the control. 马夫是个一只袖管空荡荡的独臂男子,仅剩一只手握着马缰,尽量把马车操控得稳稳当当,所幸相比简陋车厢,拉车的那匹马颇为高大神异,并不需要中年马夫如何费心驾驭。 An old person bends the waist to raise the blocking sandstorm slightly the homespun cloth car(riage) curtain, the line of sight crosses the shoulder of alone arm man to look forward, silent speechless, for a very long time has not put down the curtain screen. 一位老人微微弯腰掀起遮挡风沙的粗布车帘,视线越过独臂男人的肩头向前望去,沉默无言,久久没有放下帘子。 Groom turning the head small sound said: „Father, if I have not remembered incorrectly, more than ten li (0.5 km) road can see the boundary tablets of quiet river two states.” 马夫转头小声道:“爹,如果我没有记错,还有十几里路就能看到幽河两州的界碑。” The old person nods, the facial expression is somewhat absent-minded. 老人点了点头,神情有些恍惚。 The grooms knit the brows: „Even if Beiliang always does not recognize the decree of royal government, but the father is a nominal Beiliang vice- exercise strategy causes after all, that does Xu Fengnian also dare to stick out suddenly the murder to be inadequate? Such being the case, why the father so lowers the worth to flatter Beiliang, if passes to the Capital City that side......” 马夫皱眉道:“就算北凉向来不认朝廷的旨意,可爹毕竟是名义上的北凉道副经略使,那徐凤年还敢暴起杀人不成？既然如此,爹又何必如此放低身价去讨好北凉,若是传到京城那边……” The old person leaves the compartment simply, sits in the son behind, beckons with the hand words that breaks this temporary groom, said with a smile: „How do some baseless rumors pass to Tai'an City? My the foundation of Yang always in the temple center, since the Guangling Circuit unfavorable situation, your father does not wait for the body of crime to go to Capital City, from Emperor your majesty to the small 67 Ministry of War gentry officials, who has given the father the good complexion? If nothing else, several tens of thousands of Jizhou old soldier that the father cultivates single-handedly, the royal government said that takes away to take away, you are the vice general to Jizhou , is to make you bring 3000 soldiers and horses, this is establishes, in needing you impedes at the Yuan Tingshan premise, otherwise, tiger feudal official your soldier do not want to bring back to Jizhou.” 老人干脆离开车厢,坐在儿子身后,摆手打断这位临时马夫的话语,笑道:“有些风言风语传到太安城又如何？我杨家的根基从来都不在庙堂中枢,自从广陵道失利,你爹以待罪之身去往京城,从皇帝陛下到小小六七品的兵部员外郎,有谁给过爹好脸色？别的不说,爹一手培植起来的数万蓟州老卒,朝廷说拿走就拿走,你到蓟州担任副将,也不过是让你带来三千兵马,这还是建立在需要你掣肘袁庭山的前提上,要不然啊,虎臣你一兵一卒都别想带回蓟州。” Yang Huchen who the grooms in the past and in the Western Chu remnants combat lost an arm, now and after that family sinking injustice results in the snow loyal and heroic, Han Fang with was the Jizhou vice general, Yang Huchen must prevent Yuan Tingshan to take the border heavy place Jizhou to support the soldier dead weight, was Liyang Zhao Shi monitors the man (Han) king Zhao hero board game piece. But the old person is the royal government seals certainly Yang Shenxing who a Beiliang vice- exercise strategy causes newly, in years past four draft one of the four town/subdues eight big General, in more than one year crossed fully bamboo fence Pingyang in Capital City by the dreary day that the dog bullied, with trepidation did not say, but must look at the joke by the government colleagues, once for a while pulled out to drink, on the mouth said that helped old General drink to resolve one's worries, actually with pulling out to dawdle the monkey to be similar, changed the method to put salt in the old person wound, speaking of watching a person's every mood and hitting a person when he is down skill, the official employed in the capital almost each one was Great Grandmaster. If not Yang Huchen is appointed by Ministry of War is the Jizhou vice general, means that Emperor your majesty has not lost the patience to Yang thoroughly, personnel who perhaps old person time Capital sees off, is not the kitten puppy 32 scenes, but was one saves. This old person via national capital west and setose thistle river several states, although the old person do not win over the sentimental the thought that the condition of but along the way radically nobody will ask, lets Yang Huchen this feeling that is the son is fearful. Back then Yang dispatched troops to Guangling from Jizhou, was that what kind of grand occasion? At that time, is not the place governor of Prefecture Protector this level, do not want to occupy a seat at the Yang private feast. 马夫正是当年与西楚余孽作战中失去一臂的杨虎臣,如今和那个家族沉冤得雪的忠烈之后韩芳同为蓟州副将,杨虎臣既要防止袁庭山在作为边境重地的蓟州拥兵自重,也是离阳赵室监视汉王赵雄的棋子。而老人当然就是朝廷新封北凉道副经略使的杨慎杏,昔年的四征四镇八位大将军之一,这一年多在京城可谓过足了虎落平阳被犬欺的惨淡日子,提心吊胆不说,还要被官场同僚看笑话,时不时被拉出去喝酒,嘴上说是帮着老将军喝酒解愁,其实就跟拉出去遛猴差不多,变着法子在老人伤口上撒盐,说到察言观色和落井下石的功力,京官几乎个个都是大宗师。如果不是杨虎臣被兵部任命为蓟州副将,意味着皇帝陛下对杨家还没有彻底失去耐心,恐怕老人这次出京送行的人员,就不是小猫小狗三两只的光景,而是一只都省了。这次老人途经京畿西和蓟河几州,虽说老人本身没有要跟人拉拢感情的念头,但是沿途根本无人问津的境况,还是让杨虎臣这个做儿子的倍感心寒。想当年杨家从蓟州出兵广陵,那是何等盛况？那时候,不是郡守这个位阶的地方封疆大吏,都别想要在杨家私宴上占个席位。 Is detected probably Yang Huchen's resentfulness, the old person patted son's shoulder, said with a smile in a soft voice: „Tiger feudal official, could not complain about the fickleness of human relationships, since the father became big General, our Yang these years abused power in Jizhou, were not the good bird, the matter that Yang Jia terrorized men and take their women how could was short, now by the retribution, is been very normal.” 大概是察觉到杨虎臣的愤懑,老人拍了拍儿子的肩头,轻声笑道:“虎臣啊,怨不得世态炎凉,自从爹当上大将军,咱们杨家这些年在蓟州作威作福惯了,也不是啥好鸟,杨家欺男霸女的事情何曾少了,如今遭了报应,很正常。” Yang Shenxing looks all around, the scene and Jizhou of Hezhou actually differ not in a big way, is the recruit, after entering the autumn, straw colored like earth, cannot compare that side the Jiangnan to still have half city green fluttering flags view. The old person closes the eye slowly, deeply breathed one, sighs with emotion: „In turn, the retribution comes early, is the good deed, perhaps too, the royal government let you opportunity that late continually, when the Jizhou vice general makes up for one's faults by good deeds will not give, let alone has the father compared with fallen Yan shakes spring that old man, wanted to be luckier after all? Do not look that now Zhao high Shenwei is next to south that Lu Sheng looks like to draft the second in command, this old fogy immediately is also like ants on a heated pan, the father will make a bet with you, if he had the defeat, let alone compares with the father, perhaps even/including Yan shakes spring cannot compare, because of royal government's fragrant state to our this group of Spring and Autumn veterans, spring used up in me and Yan shakes. Therefore father time Capital, the mood does not have bad that the bystander imagines, to be honest, left that cautious Tai'an City, father instead was happier, the line also thought through many things.” 杨慎杏环顾四周,河州的景象与蓟州其实相差不大,到底都是西北边境,入秋以后,草黄如土,比不得江南那边犹有半城绿的旖旎景致。老人缓缓闭上眼睛,深深呼吸了一口,感慨道:“反过来来看,报应来得早,也是好事,太晚了,说不定朝廷连让你当蓟州副将将功补过的机会都不会给,何况爹比起已经战死沙场的阎震春那老儿,总归要幸运许多吧？你别看如今赵隗身为仅次于卢升象的南征二把手,这老家伙当下也是热锅上的蚂蚁,爹敢跟你打赌,若是他吃了败仗,别说跟爹比,说不定连阎震春都比不上,因为朝廷对咱们这拨春秋老将的香火情,都在我和阎震春身上用完了。所以说爹这次出京,心情没外人想象的那么糟糕,说实话,离开了那座让人如履薄冰的太安城,爹的心情反而好了很多,一路行来也想通了很多事。” Yang Huchen feels relieved, no matter how, so long as in the father heart does not have too many depressed, is the good deed, he also has the confidence to lead Yang Jia to stage a comeback. 杨虎臣如释重负,不管如何,只要爹心中没有太多郁结,就是好事,他也有信心带着杨家东山再起。 Yang Shenxing smiles, „this father makes the person confidential letter take toward Qingliang Mountain in private, requesting earnestly Beiliang to send the envoy to meet me in the Youzhou border, so long as did not meet, my Yang Shenxing then one step did not step into Beiliang, has been waiting in the border. My Yang Shenxing good and evil is the oversized General character, now adopts this humble pitiful stance, naturally can be regarded hero act, but this how? Capital City everyone Yang Shenxing die a violent death the Beiliang sad news to spread and other, or was humiliated by Xu Fengnian in some situation wantonly, I do not make them then hope. Face empty, the lining is, Yang just when precarious, the father is Yang's face in royal government floor, without , there would be no, so long as the tiger feudal official you stands firm in Jizhou, five years ten years later, face oneself will run back in the Yang pocket, even if when the time comes you do not want, perhaps others are willing to kneel are asking you to accept.” 杨慎杏笑了笑,“这次爹私下让人密信捎往清凉山,恳请北凉派遣使节在幽州边境接我,只要见不着面,我杨慎杏便一步都不踏入北凉,就在边境上一直等着。我杨慎杏好歹是做过大将军的人物,现在摆出这种低三下四的可怜姿态,当然算不得豪杰行径,不过这又如何？京城所有人都在等我杨慎杏暴毙北凉的噩耗传出,或是在某个场合被徐凤年大肆折辱,我偏不让他们遂愿。面子是虚的,里子才是实打实的,杨家正值风雨飘摇,爹是杨家在朝廷台面上的面子,没了就没了,只要虎臣你在蓟州重新站稳脚跟,五年十年后,面子自己就会跑回杨家口袋里,到时候就算你不想要,说不定别人都愿意跪着求着你收下。” Yang Huchen lowers the head, the eye is somewhat red. Father who that never yields to age, that since he records events Yang big General that has been indomitable spirit, will make his Yang Huchen feel that unexpectedly was really old. 杨虎臣低下头,眼睛有些红。身后那个从来不服老的爹,那个自他记事起就一直顶天立地的杨大将军,竟然会让他杨虎臣觉得真的老了。 Yang Shenxing sighed, „the present feared that feared young Beiliang Prince will vent anger Yang because of the royal government, because of father, when this vice- military commissioner, but was disgruntled with you, after all Jizhou from Beiliang, was not too far. Before Xu Xiao is thinking of the former friendship, extremely few gesticulated to Beiliang outside, now Xu Fengnian is master of own affairs, viewing carefully for these years Beiliang at the sound that on Xu Fengnian tossed about, obviously, the Beiliang sharp qi was extremely heavy, no longer desirably hidden point. In the final analysis, Beiliang with the royal government, the difference has not only arrived tears to pieces that step of facial skin. This father enters coolly, is the risk, is the opportunity. The tiger feudal official, you complete your Jizhou vice general safely, the father have the plan in Beiliang, from now on, you will record several points sincerely, first do not treat with courtesy any Jizhou former subordinates place military officer, next, will grasp the friend or stranger with Han Fang far and near, finally, will be close to the new exercise strategy causing Han forest, must act not to hesitate for it to act as the status of foot soldier attendant, later Yang can have the space in Tai'an City, Han forest will be important. The Han forest is different from the common hut disciple, superficially he is inferior to Zhao Youling flourishing potassium alum spring many, even was inferior that Yuan Guo king Xionggui, however in the Son of Heaven mind, Han forest most is worth one that makes good use of now, the reason is very simple, Zhao Yin and Wang, are the first-grade high-ranking court official who on previous emperor promotes, almost to sealed not to have high that may seal, but the character who after Yuan Guo Han and Lin are your majesty ascends the throne , to make a good use, Yuan Guo does not only do well pitifully, had been totally given up, then, Son of Heaven will incline all expectations to Han forest, this. The Han forest is the biggest advantage. The Han forest seems like that was past stretch/open Luli most does not have of edges and corners, but was this type is not equal to the mediocre doctrine of the mean exactly, was on the government biggest taking advantage, the time is longer, the stamina was fuller, Yuan Guo was the counter-example.” 杨慎杏叹了口气,“现在怕就怕年轻的北凉王会因为朝廷而迁怒杨家,会因为爹当这个副节度使而对你心生不满,毕竟蓟州距离北凉,不算太远。以前徐骁念着旧情,极少对北凉以外指手画脚,现在徐凤年当家作主,细观这几年北凉在徐凤年手上折腾出来的动静,显而易见,北凉锐气极重,不再刻意隐藏锋芒。归根结底,北凉跟朝廷,就只差没有到撕破脸皮的那一步。这趟爹入凉,是风险,也是机遇。虎臣,你安心做好你的蓟州副将,爹在北凉自有打算,从今往后,你谨记几点,首先你不要应酬任何蓟州旧部地方将领,其次,跟韩芳把握好亲疏远近的度,最后,多接近新任经略使韩林,要扮演不惜为其充当马前卒的身份,以后杨家能够在太安城有一席之地,韩林至关重要。韩林不同于一般的张庐门生,表面上看他不如赵右龄殷茂春许多,甚至不如元虢王雄贵,但是在当今天子心目中,韩林是最值得重用的一个,原因很简单,赵殷王三人,都是先帝手上提拔起来的一等公卿,几乎到了封无可封的高位,而元虢韩林两人属于陛下登基后才得以重用的人物,只可惜元虢表现不佳,已经被彻底放弃,如此一来,天子就会把所有期望都倾斜到韩林一人身上,这对韩林来说才是最大的优势。韩林看似是当年张庐里最没有棱角的那个,但恰恰是这种不等同于平庸的中庸,才是官场上最大的依仗,时间越久,后劲越足,元虢就是反例。” Why does not know, Yang Huchen more listens, is getting more and more sad. 不知为何,杨虎臣越听下去,心情越来越沉重。 Yang Shenxing said with a smile lightly: „Listens to seem like explaining the last words to you? The tiger feudal official you thought the branch, the father had said a moment ago, this went to Beiliang, the father has not held the least bit to die the heart, not for royal government face countenance, but strong over.” 杨慎杏轻笑道:“是不是听着像是在跟你交待遗言？虎臣你想岔了,爹刚才已经说了,这趟去北凉,爹没有抱着半点必死之心,更不会为了朝廷颜面而强出头。” Yang Huchen is somewhat awkward. 杨虎臣有些尴尬。 Yang Shenxing sincere say/way: „Since roaming Shi of Great Qin towards has transformed the deep-rooted powerful family, in the hand raises our generation military person of blade, the words on history book, are not always honored, the great person who these stay behind the name, always cannot leave the military governor to separate four characters, how many Duke hooks in the hand grasps the aristocratic family rich and powerful family of pen actually often with number world, inherits for 100 years not saying that powerful family, 200-300 years of even history is frequently more glorious, reviews us, there is how many live ‚hundred years old of’ military governor influence? Can have three generations of person 50 years of scenery, that was the ancestral grave braves the light smoke the miracle. Now do not look that the royal government suppresses the place military commander influence vigorously, everybody feels insecure, will compare Yan shakes spring Zhao high these old fogies, the father looks longer -term, Liyang not necessarily cannot present a hundred years of surname that in the future will be the military commander, must achieve this point, blindly devoted Han Family will learn from another's mistakes constantly, but Beiliang Xu Family, actually will be......” 杨慎杏语重心长道:“自大秦朝的游士转变成根深蒂固的门阀以来,手里提刀的我辈武人,史书上的笔墨,从来都不怎么光彩,那些个留下名字的大人物,总离不开藩镇割据四个字,手中握笔的世家豪门却往往跟数世几公挂钩,传承一百年也称不上门阀,动辄200-300年甚至历史更悠久,反观我们,有几个活到‘百岁高龄’的藩镇势力？能有三代人五十年的风光,那都是祖坟冒青烟的奇迹了。现在你别看朝廷大力抑制地方武将势力,人人自危,相比阎震春赵隗这些老家伙,爹看得更长远些,将来离阳未必出现不了一个属于武将的百年姓氏,要做到这一点,一味愚忠的韩家是前车之鉴,而北凉徐家,却是……” At this point, Yang Shenxing shuts up suddenly does not say, to only has a deep sigh finally, „Xu Xiao, is not the fierce and ambitious!” 说到这里,杨慎杏突然闭嘴不言,到最后只有一声长叹,“徐骁,不是枭雄啊！” Yang Huchen somewhat has doubts. 杨虎臣有些疑惑。 The world recognize unruly big General Xu Xiao, if not the fierce and ambitious, can be a hero is inadequate? 世人公认桀骜不驯的大将军徐骁,如果不是枭雄,难道还能是个英雄不成？ Yang Shenxing smiles to ask: „Tiger feudal official, you guess that whom Beiliang will make come to the Youzhou border to work as the evil person?” 杨慎杏笑问道:“虎臣,你猜北凉会让谁来幽州边境当恶人？” Has thought Yang Huchen of this issue said in a soft voice: „Properly speaking should welcomes and sees off by Youzhou provincial governor reckless Kui or Youzhou General Huangfu Ping, but the war is just luxurious now, these two are not necessarily able to withdraw, even if Beiliang having a mind embarrasses the father, I want still to make Youzhou Prefecture Protector act badly. As for in name with father grades and salary roughly suitable Li Gongde Song Dongming two people, is unlikely, must assume Qingliang Mountain after all, is responsible for the new town constructing, I did not expect that Xu Fengnian will so drag in lots of people, if furthermore is really one in Li and Song rushes to Youzhou, I must suspect that but actually Xu Fengnian harbors evil intentions, no matter when the time comes the father does comply, I will escort the father to arrive in Liangzhou personally.” 早就想过这个问题的杨虎臣轻声道:“照理说是该由幽州刺史胡魁或是幽州将军皇甫枰迎来送往,只不过如今大战正酣,这两位未必能够脱身,不过即便北凉有心让爹难堪,我想最不济也会让一个幽州郡守出面。至于名义上与爹品秩大致相当的李功德宋洞明两人,可能性很小,毕竟一个要坐镇清凉山,一个负责新城建造,我也不奢望徐凤年会如此兴师动众,再者如果真是李宋两人中的一个赶到幽州,我倒要怀疑徐凤年是不是居心叵测,到时候不管爹答应不答应,我都会亲自一路护送爹到凉州。” Several li (0.5 km) distance, flashes by. 十几里路程,一晃而过。 When Yang Huchen sees that roadside boundary tablet at the same time, saw that 45 ride by the post road awaits calmly. 当杨虎臣看到那块路边界碑的同时,也看到有四五骑在驿路旁静候。 And, one rides seems especially garish, besides his young, one type makes Yang Huchen feel that strange feeling, when like oneself is young for the first time sees Martial Dao Grandmaster in legend, such as sees the mountain. Saw right in front of one Emperor like for the first of time last year in the Tai'an City imperial palace, with trepidation. 其中,有一骑显得格外扎眼,除了他年轻之外,还有一种让杨虎臣感到古怪的感觉,就像自己年少时第一次见到传说中的武道宗师,如见高山。就像去年在太安城皇宫内第一次面见皇帝,如临深渊。 Yang Huchen even forgot turning the head, the trembling sound said: „Father, he came probably personally.” 杨虎臣甚至忘了转头,颤声道:“爹,好像他亲自来了。” Yang Shenxing after the border sits in the compartment sits in repose with eyes closed, after hearing Yang Huchen's shivering voice, somewhat wonders, was reckless Kui Huangfu Ping arrives? Is Li Gongde Song Dongming your honorable self visits simply? Otherwise by the oneself son's disposition, is not the extent that absolutely flustered. 杨慎杏临近边境后就坐在车厢内闭目养神,听到杨虎臣的颤抖嗓音后,有些纳闷,难道是胡魁皇甫枰到了？或者干脆是李功德宋洞明大驾光临？否则以自己儿子的心性,绝对不至于如此慌张。 When Yang Shenxing with a heavy heart raises the curtain screen, high noon, felt suddenly the top of the head sunlight is somewhat dazzling, the old person narrows the eyes to focus to look, when he sees clearly that to ride, Yang Shenxing at the scene. 当心情沉重的杨慎杏掀起帘子,正午时分,一时间感到头顶阳光有些刺眼,老人眯着眼望去,当他看清楚那一骑,杨慎杏愣在当场。 Suddenly, this old person, even if the thorough Beiliang tiger's den has not lost the fighting spirit, feels oneself for the first time truly, was truly old. 突然,这位哪怕深入北凉虎穴也没有丧失斗志的老人,第一次真正觉得自己,确实是老了。 Does not wait for Yang Shenxing to get out, that rides to take the lead to speed away, but, shoots a look at Liyang brave general Yang Huchen who the eye acted as the groom, then said with a smile to Yang Shenxing: „Sir Yang has a good son.” 不等杨慎杏下车,那一骑率先疾驰而至,瞥了眼充当马夫的离阳猛将杨虎臣,然后对杨慎杏笑道:“杨大人有个好儿子。” Yang Huchen hears youngster the evaluation, somewhat is suddenly speechless. 杨虎臣听到年轻人的这份评语,一时间有些无语。 Had not been called Yang big General old person to laugh, is not angry, bright sound said: „This point, Yang Shenxing is far less than big General!” 没有被称呼杨大将军的老人哈哈大笑,毫不生气,朗声道:“这一点,杨慎杏远不如大将军！” Can work as earnest big General Yang Shenxing to shout big General respectfully. 能够被当过正儿八经大将军的杨慎杏毕恭毕敬喊一声大将军。 Liyang Dynasty, only has Xu Xiao. 离阳王朝,唯有徐骁。
