When Yang Tong woke up, it was not yet dawn, and the faint halo was like a light veil draped down, and his vision was a little blurred.

Lu Qinghua curled up on his chest, the thin brocade was vividly highlighted by the jade curve, and the color of the collarbone gooseneck was even more dazzling, like a high-quality mutton fat jade, flawless at all, and it was difficult to fully interpret this beauty even if the world was full of splendid chapters, and the beautiful and elegant jade face carried some tears, and the eyebrows were full of pain, just like a pear blossom with rain in spring.

This woman doesn't know what's crazy! When he was entertaining last night, he took advantage of his unpreparedness and dedicated another first.

Yang Tong knew that she had something on her mind, and thought that there would be no urgent or important matters today, so she simply didn't get up and waited quietly for Lu Qinghua to wake up.

When the first rays of sunlight poured into the pavilion, Lu Qinghua slowly opened his eyes and saw her husband's shining eyes, with a strong look of inquiry.

"Awake?"

"Hmm!"

"I made such a crazy fuss last night, this is not Concubine Shu's style." Yang Tong's gaze changed from asking to joking.

"I ......" Thinking of last night's madness, Lu Qinghua's cheeks were suddenly dyed with a faint red glow, and his eyes were like a pool of clear water, with a gentle feeling.

"You have something on your mind, you don't want to say it, and I don't force it! When you came back from Yuehua's house yesterday, you were weird... Yuehua won't let you be like this, you must have met someone and what happened... If I want to check, I will definitely find out, but at that time, I was afraid that everyone would know about it. Yang Tong said with a smile.

He didn't use any coercive means, just rational analysis, so that Lu Qinghua had to give in.

"Alright! I said yes! Glancing at Yang Tong angrily, Lu Qinghua hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "My father is here......

"I'm here, I'm here, I don't think I need to go back in the future." Pei Su's family situation, Yang Tong knows quite well.

"You're going to kill my father?" Lu Qinghua's face turned white with fright.

Yang Tong also realized that his words were easy to misunderstand, caressed her satin-like skin, and said with a smile: "I mean to let him live in Luoyang, Pengcheng will fight sooner or later, the sword and gun have no eyes, and it is not a joke to be injured."

"I was shocked if I couldn't say it clearly." Lu Qinghua laughed and scolded with disgust, his stiff body softened a little under the soothing of his husband, and he murmured in a low voice: "Husband, Pei Ju wants to surrender to the Great Sui, but he is afraid of falling into the truth, so he went around to find his father and asked him to replace Pei's envoy to the Great Sui." ”

"What kind of king is Pei Ju, and he is still an envoy?" Yang Tong laughed, "Say, what do you want me to do?" ”

"I ......"

"Tell the truth."

"I accidentally learned from my father's words that Pei Ju was the culprit who broke us up, and I wanted to bite him to death at that time."

"And then?"

"Then I want my husband to destroy his whole family."

"And now?"

"I don't hate him so much now, don't you think it's strange!" Lu Qinghua said dejectedly.

"Didn't you lose last night?" Yang Tong looked at Lu Qinghua, who was depressed, and almost burst out laughing.

Lu Qinghua's heart was crisp, and the crystal jade earlobes immediately revealed red, which quickly spread all over the slender gooseneck, and the rouge-like jade cheeks were reflected in the faint morning light, and he said like a gnat: "Maybe that's it, I don't hate Pei Ju." ”

"......" Yang Tong was full of black lines in his head.

That's too, right?

Lu Qinghua didn't get a response, looked up, and saw that his face was full of sly smiles, and he was annoyed, embarrassed and embarrassed: "I can't even hate the people who broke us up, am I very useless?" ”

"It's not unproductive!" Yang Tong tried his best to hold back a smile, "The reason why I hate Pei Ju so much is a normal reaction after learning the truth, it's normal." As soon as this anger passed, he regained his pure and good nature. ”

"That's it......" Lu Qinghua, who was originally discouraged, was relieved, and his eyes were full of joy.

"Yes!" Although Lu Qinghua is not very old, he has a child who is a few years old, and he is still so simple, Yang Tong was really defeated by her!

Women, what an indissoluble mystery.

But this pure beauty is undoubtedly the most loved.

"Holy Lord, the middle servant shoots and Fang Shangshu, Ling Shangshu, and Du Shangshu ask to see." The warm atmosphere was suddenly broken by the palace maid.

Yang Tong asked in a condensed voice, "What's the matter?" ”

"It seems that something happened to Nanyang!"

"Defeated?" Yang Tong's complexion changed slightly.

"The slave doesn't know."

"Husband, let me serve you." Lu Qinghua was also extremely surprised, struggling to get up.

"No need!" Yang Tong is not hypocritical, but he is used to a vigorous and resolute style, letting others dress him, not to mention the trouble, it takes longer, and these red tapes save energy.

At least the current Yang Tong, has not yet enjoyed the qualifications of clothes to stretch out his hand and food to open his mouth, etiquette and luxury are often confused, in his opinion, if you get used to this kind of life, it will make people dependent, smooth people's will and conduct.

"It's still early, you rest for a while, the sky won't fall." After getting dressed, Yang Tong admonished.

"Good!" Lu Qinghua obediently retracted into the quilt, watched Yang Tong leave, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but she really couldn't sleep, and she was worried that something big would happen, so she was about to get up.

What a loss!

Damn Pei Ju.

……

After washing, Yang Tong hurried to the main hall, and when he saw the ministers with smiles on their faces, his hanging heart suddenly fell into place.

"See the Holy One!"

"Excuse me!" Yang Tong walked to the first place and sat down, and motioned for the ministers to take their seats. Looking at the smile on Wei Yunqi's face, Yang Tong smiled and said, "Who won the right servant shooting or General Qin?" ”

"Neither!" Wei Yunqi said in a deep voice.

"Oh?" Yang Tong looked at Ling Jing, who was in charge of intelligence collection and analysis.

"Shengshang, early this morning, the right servant shot the flying eagle to deliver a message, saying that Li Yuan's Nanyang frequently transferred troops last night and retreated to Xiangyang overnight, and the right servant shot was worried that Li Yuan had an ambush on Chaoshui and Baishui, and there was no pursuit! In the early morning, people were sent into the city to check, but the city was empty, and there was not even a single citizen. ”

Yang Tong's eyes lit up: "When Liu Bei fled south, he carried tens of thousands of people in the Fancheng area, and as a result, Cao Cao fought a falling flower!" He Li Yuan is stupid, he actually ran away with the people, this is an opportunity for our army. ”

"Holy Lord, the people go by boat." Ling Jing smiled bitterly.

"I didn't say it."

“……”

"By the way, let the right servant shoot carefully 'burn Shinno'"

"Holy Lord, there is no such thing."

"This Li Yuan came violently, and he actually said that he would leave, which is really unexpected, but it made me look at him once." Yang Tong asked: "Li Yuan regards the land as his life, and he has always been immortal until he reaches the Yellow River, and this time he lost most of Nanyang without fighting, which is really surprising." ”

"That's normal!" Wei Yunqi said with a smile: "Xiyang, Nanyang, Shuyang, Xiangcheng and other counties have mostly been persecuted by Zhu Cang, and any force that enters these places only needs to treat the people better, and the people will be grateful." If Li Yuan can consolidate it for a year or two and thoroughly absorb it, it will be more difficult for our army to gain a foothold. And Li Yuan fought everywhere against the map, and even eliminated the natural barrier between the Sui and Tang dynasties, Wang Shichong, which not only made the Sui and Tang completely border, the key is that he consumed too many troops in this battle, resulting in insufficient soldiers, and there were loopholes in the defense line everywhere, he knew that the army was the strength of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty, once the only troops were defeated, we would give him Yongliang Erzhou, and he would not be able to defend it. That's why I returned to Xiangyang. Li Yuan simply and decisively evacuated this time, not because he was generous, but because he didn't dare to lose again. ”

"Clever again! But now it's too late. ”

Yang Tong nodded, although at this time, there is no 'people save and lose land, people and land are both saved; There is a saying that people survive and people lose both land', but those who are familiar with the art of war know this truth

"It's really night! But it is not irretrievable, judging from his current performance, he is ready to follow Liu Bei's example, lock up the four stoppers and settle Bashu. Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

Yang Tong also nodded, this is already an obvious thing, apart from Bashu, where else can Li Yuan go?

"In addition, after Li Shi's militia returned to Nanyang after defeat, he was dismissed from his post by Li Yuan."

"What about military power?"

"Li Shimin continues to lead the troops."

When Yang Tong heard this, he couldn't help but snort coldly: "The whole thing is fighting for power and profit, I don't see what hope Li Yuan has, according to me, the best way is to take the opportunity to take back Li Shimin's military power, and bring the large and small forces of the puppet Tang Dynasty together. ”

"The rights of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty are all in the hands of various families, how easy is it to let these people give up the interests in their hands? What's more, the current situation is that they feel that the Holy Lord will compromise with them, so they will not pay for Li Yuan. Fang Xuanling smiled.

He knew that in Li Tang Dynasty's hall, not no one could see through the harm of partisan disputes, but people are like this, if there is no way out, when it comes to their own safety, no matter how much they need to pay, they can take everything out, but the current situation is that Li Tang and those smart people, everyone sees the harm, but always hopes that others can pay more for themselves, so that they can go out less or even not out, everyone is a smart person, so everyone is reluctant to have the right in their hands, the final result, It must be to drag yourself into a desperate situation completely.

Yang Tong nodded and looked at Ling Jing: "By the way, why hasn't Xiangyang moved for a long time?" ”

In his imagination, Li Yuan, who was suffering from internal and external troubles, was short of money and food, and had a full sense of crisis, so he released a rumor, saying that the Great Sui wanted to solve with the family, which caused the representatives of the family to come to Luoyang, and his intention was to let Li Yuan attack the family, and then let the black ice platform fish in troubled waters, but Li Yuan has not moved so far.

Ling Jing arched his hand and said: "Weichen thinks that there are two reasons, one is that Li Yuan has a high control over the puppet Tang Dynasty Hall and has a certain prestige, so although the family is dissatisfied, they dare not make too much trouble. The second is that Li Yuan has hopes for the Nanyang war, and does not want civil strife in Xiangyang at this time, as long as he defeats our army, his personal prestige will definitely swell to the point where he is enough to dominate everything, so that the internal worries of the puppet Tang Dynasty will naturally be solved. So to a large extent, Li Yuan and the family are watching the battle of Nanyang, but Li Yuan came violently, lost the city and returned without fighting, his personal prestige was greatly reduced, and the dissatisfaction of the family who did his best to support him rose again, and Li Yuan's eastward expedition this time, not only could not get an inch of land, but also lost more than 200,000 troops, and he needed to pay for the pensions of these armies, where is the money? The hand of the Maison. ”

The more than 200,000 troops lost by the puppet Tang were all people of the same clan, how could the Great Sui be wiped out? In addition to the dead, the disabled were treated. It's just that their current status is a prisoner, a person with all four limbs, and as soon as the injury is healed, they will be placed in Henan County for labor reform, and many miracles in ancient times are actually built by prisoners.

Yang Tong smiled: "You said that it is the calm of Xiangyang, but it is just the calm before the storm." ”

Ling Jing said: "The Holy Lord said that Xiangyang is the tranquility before the storm. ”

"Keep staring at this matter!"

In order to annihilate the family in Xiangyang, the power of the Black Ice Platform was tilted there, so Yang Tong tolerated that the Black Ice Platform knew nothing about the Bohai Wheel Sect and the horse thieves in the Western Regions, if Ling Jing couldn't even handle the affairs of Xiangyang, Yang Tong must be held accountable.

"Whoa."

"Holy!" Du Ruhui arched his hand and said: "Xingtai Province in the Western Regions sent an eagle letter, saying that the countries in the Western Regions have submitted their credentials, and the kings of various countries have asked to enter the court to congratulate; In addition, the three Cambodian Turkic tribes, the Khambian tribe, the Liaodong Three Kingdoms, the Heishui Jian, the Southern Chamber, the Northern and Southern Chambers, the Damuro Wei, the Daughter Kingdom, and the Zhangxiong Kingdom submitted their credentials to the border counties and counties. ”

Du Ruhui's words made Yang Tong stunned for a moment, busy days are the easiest to forget the time, although he did not fight, but he is not idle, calculate the time, it is already August, and in three or four months, it will be the Spring Festival. In terms of itinerary, it is not too early to submit the credentials

An interesting thought suddenly sprouted in Yang Tong's heart, and he said with a smile: "Could it be that so many foreign kings and chieftains gathered together, it is really a pity not to take this opportunity to show off their might and be shocked." I feel that the deterrent power of the battlefield is ten thousand times stronger than showing off wealth, and when these kings arrive, I will simply take them around the battlefield and let these turtles see how my Great Sui army fights! ”

Fang Xuanling's eyes lit up and said, "What a way!" Except for a limited number of countries, these extraterritorial troops are only tens of thousands at most, and they are always skeptical about the combat methods of our hundreds of thousands of troops in the Central Plains, feeling that they are exaggerating. ”

"Minister, second!"

"Minister, second!"

Wei Yunqi, Du Ruhui, Ling Jing and others also expressed their positions.

"Since everyone also thinks it is good, then Keming will send this decision to Xingtai Province and various border counties in the Western Regions, so that these kings can enter the court in advance." Yang Tong instructed Du Ruhui.

"Whoa!" Du Ruhui replied, and said: "The Holy Lord, the Eight Western Turkic Tribes and the Daughter Kingdom and the Zhangxiong Kingdom are either located in the west or southwest of the Silk Road, and they hope that the Holy Lord will agree to them to send representatives to the Western Regions to travel to the province and become a member of the Silk Road." ”

"That's a good thing!" Yang Tong laughed and said: "But it must be bound by the treaty, and after entering the Great Sui, you can only buy and sell with Yanhuang Tongbao, Yanhuang silver money, and Yan gold money." Without me, the coins of the Great Sui can be exchanged for gold, silver, and brass. Otherwise, the money and goods will be confiscated. ”

"Whoa!"

All the ministers laughed, after so many years of bottom-buying operations, everyone has a deep understanding of economic warfare and the power of money.

"Jiang Shangshu, when will the renovation project of Ziwei City be completed?" Although the palace is also very luxurious, after all, it is only the specifications of the palace, and it cannot receive large-scale envoys.

"Back to the Holy One!" Jiang Xingben bowed and said: "Ziwei City is nominally rebuilt, but most of the official residences of the imperial city are demolished to another place, and they can be built directly, and the materials are mostly ready-made, and the new materials consumed are not much, and the new materials in Miyagi are slightly more, and these are nothing." What is more troublesome is the new three halls, which are all new materials, but the saint can rest assured, the craftsmen who have experience in building the Yecheng Shenwu Palace are now all masters, and everyone is responsible for each part with a group of craftsmen, and the progress of the project is quite successful. After thinking about it, he said: "Wechen guarantees that it can be completed at the end of October and early November." ”

"Just do your best, don't force it too hard! If it's a big deal, I can receive those kings and chieftains in Daxing or Yecheng. ”

"Thank you." Jiang Xingben said gratefully, but in his heart he was determined to complete it on schedule.

Yang Tong asked again: "How is He Chou doing in the Ministry of Industry?" ”

He Chou was one of the most famous architects of the Great Sui, and when Emperor Wu attacked Goguryeo, he ordered the first master Yu Wenkai to build a bridge on the Liao River, which caused the Great Sui to be isolated and helpless, and the general of the Right Tun Guard, Mai Tiezhu, was killed. Emperor Wu reappointed He Chou to be responsible for building the pontoon bridge, which was completed in two days, and Emperor Wu crowned him as the doctor of Jin Ziguanglu and the general of Zuotunwei

He also designed the "Liuhemu City", after dismantling and transporting it to other places, it can be synthesized into a large city with a surrounding eight miles and a height of ten thousand in one night, and there are towers in the four corners, and there are observation towers on all sides. He read the ancient drawings extensively, recognized and deciphered the composition of many previous utensils, and the most typical achievement was the restoration of the long-lost glaze production process, and he was a very powerful architect and craftsman.

When Emperor Wu Yang Guang went south to Jiangdu, He Chou stayed in Luoyang due to illness, and was appointed by Yang Qi as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, after Wang Shichong usurped the throne, He Chou, who had been loyal to Yang Jian, Yang Guang, and Yang Qi, was deposed, and after the Sui army recovered Luoyang, he was appointed by Yang Tong as the left attendant of the Ministry of Industry, and led a group of people to study glass.

Jiang Xingben replied: "It is said that a lot of progress has been made! ”

"That's good!" Yang Tong was very pleased, he knew that the main raw materials of glass were quartz sand, soda, limestone, and feldspar, but he was at a loss as to how to compose glass, so he could only point out the direction of why thickened, and nothing else could help. Now that he has the results, he is very excited.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Xiangyang!

The news of the fiasco of the Jin Dynasty and the retreat of the Tang Emperor Li Yuan from Xinye to Anyang has arrived, which has caused a sensation in the government and the opposition and a sensation in the capital.

For example, Emperor Wu Yang Guangxi's expedition to Tuguhun and the expedition to Goguryeo all have this meaning! Therefore, before Li Yuan set out on the expedition, he was opposed by many people, but he didn't expect that Li Yuan's imperial expedition was like a play, and he went and came in a hurry.

From the news came out, the whole Xiangyang was discussed, everyone seemed to have a sense of the pressure of the army, everywhere panicked, and Li Tang's interests were deeply anxious about the future and fate of the Tang Dynasty, because of Li Xiaogong's overthrow of the public opinion crisis, in the silence of less than a month, was triggered again.

Dugu's old master, Dugu, has been feeling a little sick for the past few days, recuperating at home, and has not yet known the news from the outside world.

"Uncle, it's not good!" Dugu Cheng, the current head of the family, hurriedly walked into Dugu Zhen's courtyard and said in a deep voice.

"Huh?" Dugu was practicing calligraphy, and when he heard this, he put down his pen and ink, and turned his head to look at Dugu Liang with a solemn expression: "What happened?" ”

"Uncle!" Dugu Cheng saluted and said in a deep voice, "The King of Jin defeated Zhuyang Pass, and Xiyang north of the Han River was lost. Seeing that he couldn't do anything, the saint retreated to Anyang County last night, and set up camp at Chaoshui, Bishui, and Baishui, and confronted the Sui army from afar. In addition to the southern part of Nanyang, it is said that the northern part of Chungling and Huai'an County have been handed over, that is to say, the Eastern Expedition campaign fought by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty not only failed completely, but also introduced the war into Jingxiang, and Xiangyang was in an emergency. ”

"What!?" Dugu stared, this news also shocked him, and then he became angry, Guan Long's magnates almost exhausted their money and slaves to support Li Yuan and the Tang Dynasty, but Li Yuan finally became like this, how could this person be so incompetent?

Thinking of the past ten or twenty years, the Dugu clan has supported Li Yuan to raise troops and make some money, as well as the countless children and protégés who sacrificed to cover Li Yuan during the period of Emperor Wu of Sui; Thinking of the army, in order to support Li Yuan, the Dugu clan not only spent seventy or eighty percent of the money and food slaves, but in the end, the bamboo basket was empty, and even Guanzhong lost at all...... And now, the war has immediately burned to Xiangyang, which has not long become the national capital.

Dugucheng's emotions began to get excited, what he worked so hard to support was such a mediocre talent, and his property for several generations was destroyed in one fell swoop, which filled his heart with hatred.

His excitement triggered a violent cough, which made him heartbreaking, and he was almost out of breath, Dugu Cheng hurriedly supported his uncle, "Uncle, take a rest." ”

At this moment, Dugu's throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Dugu Cheng hurriedly hugged him onto the soft couch and shouted: "Come on!" ”

"No need!" Although Dugu vomited blood, he was just weak, lying on the couch and unable to move, he said with difficulty: "I am a sinner in the family." ”

"Uncle!"

Dugu Cheng's eyes turned red, he knelt down in front of his uncle, and comforted: "I heard that Li Yuan took advantage of the dangers of Han water, water, and white water to create a strong line of defense, it is said that it started from the Xicheng Shiquan Xunyang Loess Fengli on the south bank of the Han River, passed through Wudang Junyang and Xiangyang Yincheng in Xiyang Xun Township, and finally went to Zaoyang and Shangma. Such a contraction of defense may not be impossible to keep the Sui army outside Xiangyang. ”

"Waste one!" Dugu snorted coldly: "The good situation has been buried by him, this weak line of defense can withstand the Sui army?" Joke. ”

"Cao Cao swept the north in the past, but didn't he also lose miserably in Chibi later? The cavalry of the Sui army is indeed invincible in the world, Jing Xiang is not so easy to fight in the plains, as long as the tactics are used properly, Datang may not have a turnaround," Dugu Cheng understood his uncle's mood and comforted him again and again.

"I hope so!" Dugu sighed, his spirit improved slightly, and said hatefully: "I'm really blind, this is my mistake, but it is this mistake that has brought great trauma to our Dugu clan." I knew that I should have supported Yang Tong, who was based in Jizhou, otherwise, I would not have fallen into this field. ”

Dugu Cheng smiled bitterly when he heard this, what Guan Long's magnates wanted to overthrow was the Sui Dynasty that was working against Guan Long, how could they support Yang Guang's descendants?

Just said this, a report came from the housekeeper outside the door, "The head of the Dou family is here." ”
