Du Jia said in a deep voice: "No, 100,000 yuan of money is just a small matter, but it makes the commander unable to achieve his grand plans. He can only lean into the green forest and apologize for this matter."

Yang Zhi was shocked and poured some wine out of his hand. He asked hurriedly: "This is Yang's confidant. He has never told anyone about it. How did Young Master Jia know?"

Yang Zhi didn't know that Du Jia knew him even more than himself, and he also understood how passionate he was about the officialdom. This did not mean that Yang Zhi was greedy for wealth and wealth. It was because the burden he carried was too heavy. It could be summarized in five words - the grandson of Yang Linggong!

That's right, it was the famous general of Wuhou Yang Linggong. He was first loyal to the Northern Han Dynasty, and with one knife, he forcibly blocked the Song Dynasty's Taizu Zhao Kuangyin for more than ten years, making the army of the Song Dynasty unable to occupy the Northern Han Dynasty. In the end, the Northern Han Dynasty was also stupid. The emperor was afraid of the power of Yang Ye and his son. The treacherous ministers below were benefited from the Song Dynasty and always excluded the Yang family and his son in various ways. In the end, they successfully excluded the Yang family to the Song Dynasty, and then they all died happily.

Then Yang Ye and his son fought south and north under the command of Taizu of Song, killing east and west, making great contributions. What made them most famous and tragic and indignant was the several battles with the Liao Kingdom. After the Song Dynasty unified the world, they wanted to compete with the Liao Kingdom, but they found that they were no match for each other. Gao Huaide, Gao Huailiang, Hu Yanzan, Pan Mei and other famous generals were defeated one after another. Even the two generations of Emperor Taizong of Taizong personally led the expedition in a mess, and Taizu even died.

In fact, this cannot be blamed for the weakness of the Song Dynasty. After all, there are many powerful generals in the north, many good ministers in the south, and civil and military affairs in the south. The entire military history of China in history is a history of bullying the south. The so-called troubled times mean that the north has not yet decided a hegemon, and once the north is unified, it will immediately march straight into the unification of the world and restore it to the rule of the world.

The only exception is Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding ancestor of the Ming Dynasty. He once conquered the world from south to north, but once this old man who was extremely dark and extremely tough, the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen, who was highly anticipated, was overthrown by his fourth son, King Yan Zhu Di, who was in the north, and he changed the capital from Nanjing to Beijing again. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty finally died in the hands of the Manchus, a nomadic mansion that emerged in the north - that is, the Qing Dynasty later.

Therefore, it was natural for the Song Dynasty to lose to the Liao Kingdom. This made Yang Ye and his son take action, and fought with the heroic ruler Empress Dowager Xiao, two heroes, Yelu Xizhen and Yelu Xiuge, and fought in a row, which surprised the Liao Kingdom, who thought the southerners were weak and vulnerable.

However, the gap between the two sides in command was revealed at this time. Yang Ye was a surrendered general after all. In the Song Dynasty, he had no foundation or backstage. Secondly, the court still had suspicion of them and could not show his strength. Emperor Taizong of Song always sent his father-in-law Pan Mei to be Yang Ye's boss to monitor and curb him, but he forgot that Pan Mei was originally a defeated general under the Liao Kingdom, and he and the Yang family had resentment back then. It was impossible for the Yang family to make great contributions in public or private matters, otherwise he would be out of favor.

Therefore, he deliberately did not send reinforcements in the most critical battle of Jinshajiang, which caused Yang Ye and his son to defeat Lianglang Mountain. Yang Linggong was even more sad and angry and hit the head on the stone tablet. He died without hesitation to show his ambition. His seven sons also died. In the end, only Liulang Yanzhao was left alone. The Liao Kingdom also respected this opponent very much. Not only did they bury them, but Empress Xiao also personally paid tribute, which formed a sharp contrast with the Song Dynasty's weak and indifferent kindness.

Although Pan Mei was eventually killed after falling out of favor many years, it undoubtedly made many generals disheartened. Coupled with the Northern Song Dynasty's suspicion and restraint of military generals, the Song Dynasty became the weakest dynasty in all dynasties. None of them, the affairs of the Yang family generals are unimportant.

However, the Yang family generals became the object of praise and sympathy for all the officials in the court, especially the lower-level officers. This was even more so for the common people. They did not dare to scold the emperor, but they cursed the treacherous minister Pan Mei with ignorance, which caused all the people named Pan to feel inferior for the next few decades, which was a disaster.

So in this situation, as a descendant of the Yang family general, it is easy to imagine how heavy the burden Yang Zhi bears is. He has been diligent in practicing martial arts since childhood and learning military tactics in order to one day regain his ancestors' glory. However, he met an artist, the emperor, Jiaqiong, the boss. As the dignified palace commander, not only could not go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but to transport some flower and stone gangs. This is no longer a waste of talent, but a blind use. In addition, his fate is so bad that even God doesn't take care of him. Others' ships are good, but his ships sink, and then his official position is naturally gone.

A great general lost his official position just for a ship of broken stones and wood. It was like a fucking joke to say it, but he was still true. No wonder neither Xixia nor Liao did take the Song Dynasty seriously at all, let alone the Jin Kingdom behind. Such a faint, weak and incompetent court would be a strange thing to not perish.

But Yang Zhi was unwilling to give up. He also knew that the court was dark, but he didn't want to defame the innocence of his ancestors. After several struggles, he had to lose his grief and anger in his heart. No one knew about it, and even his good brother Lu Zhishen could not understand it. In the eyes of Monk Hua, wasn't it just a broken official? If it was lost, it would not affect our heroic life to continue drinking, eating meat to eliminate violence and maintain good fortune. Didn't my military commander throw it away?

However, Lin Chong and he had some sympathy, but Lin Chong was only two generations of officials, and his position and reputation could not be compared with Yang Linggong. However, he never expected that Du Jia could tell his thoughts in one word. To be honest, he still had quite complaints about Chao Gai and the others, but those things were useless to say at this point, but now Du Jia brought it up first.

This made him look at Du Jia with admiration. After all, it was his first meeting with Du Jia. He had only heard Lu Zhishen, Cao Zheng and others talk about Du Jia's benefits many times, so his first impression was very good, but it had not reached the point where he was respected.
