At dusk, the sky suddenly began to pour down, and silver lightning pierced the sky, making people panic for a while.

In a room in Yiyang County, which looked dim under the rain curtain, a maid cut the wick with a delicate little scissors, and the room became brighter and brighter, and the candle flame flickered in the wind, and she quickly covered it with a gauze cover.

Xiao Yuexian sat on the chair next to the lamp, her black hair still had the moisture after bathing, and she only used a silk ribbon to gently hold it, and draped it on her shoulders casually. Jet-black hair, fair skin, thin shoulders, delicate collarbones, like a light veil in the light. She held a book in her hand, revealing a frost-racing forearm.

The lights are swaying, and the beauty is like jade.

Recalling the scene in the post pavilion during the day, I couldn't help but smile sweetly, revealing a touching beauty and releasing a breathtaking charm.

"Princess......" The maid interrupted Xiao Yuexian's thoughts.

Xiao Yuexian frowned and said, "I've told you several times, don't call me princess, have you forgotten again?" ”

"I forgot again." The maid smiled and said, "Concubine Hui! I have a feeling that the Holy One will come tonight. ”

"Nonsense!" Xiao Yuexian's face turned red, and she also felt this way.

"Concubine Hui, have you forgotten how to please your husband in the room? Or I'll take out the album and keep it in your mind. ”

As she spoke, the maid was about to get up and go to the album to find it, so that Xiao Yuexian could revisit it and comprehend the essence of various postures. This is one of her missions to marry Xiao Yuexian to Dasui, so she also took it with her on patrol.

"Shut up!" Xiao Yuexian glared at the maid with a flushed face, and said, "Do you know how to be ashamed, do you want to be shameless?" ”

The maid was not angry and said, "The gift of husband and wife is the most important thing to multiply, and it is serious!" Concubine Hui is pregnant with a little prince to rely on. Why is it shameless and shameless? ”

Xiao Yuexian even turned the tips of her ears red. But when I think about it seriously, I also feel that what the maid said seems to make sense.

Women are vassals of men, and no matter how noble their birth is, they are of little value. The value of a woman is only reflected in having children. Although she is the daughter of the Lanling Xiao family, she is also the daughter of the thief, and she has no roots in the Great Sui. Although Yang Tong and the queen also treat her very well, but having no children has always made her insecure, if she gives birth to a son and a half daughter, then she is no longer the daughter of the Xiao family, but the daughter-in-law of the Yang family...... The problem is that Yang Tong can't come, what can she do?

And today, her husband kissed her, making her feel like he would come tonight.

Or......

Research the album?

I don't know anything, I have to learn. Xiao Yuexian blushed, biting her lip, her eyes were a little confused...

"Concubine Hui, do you want to see it?" The maid said demagoguously.

"This ......"

"See what?" When Xiao Yuexian was having a hard time choosing, Yang Tong's voice came from outside the door. Xiao Yuexian, who was a thief, was startled.

"See the Holy One."

The maid in the house suddenly saw Yang Tong walking into the room, and hurriedly gathered her clothes to give a salute.

"Husband!" Xiao Yuexian's light body was like a cloud, and she was full of shame and joy on her delicate and picturesque face.

Yang Tong bowed slightly, and entered the house.

Xiao Yuexian was obediently by her side, a faint fragrance entered her nose, like an orchid musk, Yang Tong's eyes naturally fell on the white skin on her neckline...

Her husband's blade-like eyes made Xiao Yuexian feel ashamed, she forcibly kept her mind clear, and said softly: "I'll serve my husband to bathe, these days are endless, it's better to rest early." ”

Yang Tong said: "Don't worry. ”

The cold voice made Xiao Yuexian stunned, and after a closer look, she found that her husband had changed into a cold red armor, like an ancient god of war, this was the first time she saw Yang Dong dressed like this, and she was a little stunned for a while.

"An army of about 5,000 men is coming from the east, so put out the lights and close the windows, and don't go out until anything happens."

"Husband, are you an enemy?" When Xiao Yuexian heard this, her face turned pale, and she was extremely frightened.

Yang Tong gently hugged her thin fragrant shoulders and said softly: "I don't know if it's friend or foe!" If you are friendly, if you are an enemy, 5,000 people is not enough for our army to charge. You don't have to worry at all, I'm just in case. ”

This is not Yang Tong's bragging, the nearby terrain is open, it is the natural battlefield of the Xiaoguo army, and it can fully exert the power of cavalry mobility and hunt them one by one.

Xiao Yuexian's heart was relieved, and she worshipped: "That's right, the husband is the god of the Great Sui Army." ”

She knew that the rivers and mountains of the Great Sui were brought down by her husband inch by inch, and she also clearly remembered that whenever Yang Tong persecuted the scholars, a group of famous people in the south of the Yangtze River complained, but they were helpless.

However, even so, her husband is as stable as Mount Tai, and step by step the family has no room for survival......

Xiao Yuexian's lips smiled, and her eyes flowed, which girl doesn't worship heroes, and which girl doesn't admire the strong?

And this man can not only make the world's heroes and families sleep uncomfortably, but also destroy the Turks and other powerful alien races, and he can also make famous poems that are popular and famous for centuries. What's more, he will also hurt people. Looking at Yang Tong like a sword, thick eyebrows, mighty and heroic, his beautiful eyes are full of love

"The god of war? I'm not a god of war, and people won't even let me fight now. Yang Tong shook his head and sighed: "But I also understand that there are many Great Sui generals, and they all hope to be promoted by their military merits. In this way, where will the generals have a chance, and we can't let everyone lose the opportunity to make meritorious contributions for the sake of me alone. I don't think I'll have a chance to go to war in my life. ”

Xiao Yuexian looked at her husband, and her heart was flooded with love.

This is the true king!

Even if you sacrifice your own ideals, you must consider the feelings of the generals and understand everyone's difficulties.

Yang Tong smiled and said, "I'll go out first." ”

Xiao Yuexian nodded silently and said in a low voice, "Husband, please take care." ”

"Take care of yourself, too." Yang Tong confessed, quickly went out, and when he arrived at the military camp outside the city, he knew that it was Du Fuwei.

Although Yang Tong was on the way, he also had a general understanding of the situation between Du Fuwei and Li Mi. Du Fuwei was the biggest obstacle to Li Mi's unification of the south, and he became the target of Li Mi's key attack; even though Du Fuwei was strong, he was also at a disadvantage in terms of troops, and under Li Mi's incessant attacks day and night, the situation was quite bad.

However, Du Fuwei is not a vegetarian, he occupies Lujiang Xiang'an County, the terrain is high, the city defense is impregnable, the Wei army is difficult to attack the city, coupled with the narrow terrain in front of the city, can not put too many troops, is that the Wei army has suffered heavy casualties, and can not take Xiang'an City.

Du Fuwei heard that Yang Tong was going south, so he handed over the defense to Yizi Kan Ling, and personally came to ask for guilt, and from Lujiang Hefei to Yiyang there is an official road connected, and the speed is not slow, now he placed the soldiers and horses ten miles away, and only led a hundred horses to Yiyang City.

The Xiaoguo army had already received the report, and without the slightest difficulty, let him enter the city directly. Although Du Fuwei knew that he could continue to stand on his own, he knew in his heart that if he did not seize this opportunity, it would not be long before he was destroyed by the Sui army. Therefore, without hesitation, he followed the Sui army into the city, and went straight to the fine house where Yang Tong lived under the guidance of the soldiers.

Along the way, there were a large number of Sui soldiers who were fully armed and stood guard in the torrential rain, looking at a pair of armor and horizontal knives stuck in the scabbard, especially the soldiers who did not move at all...... Du Fuwei's eyelids jumped.

These people are by no means ornaments, nor are they deliberately pretentious, and the strong momentum they exude shows that these people are all masters of a hundred battles.

When he arrived at the door of the ashram, Du Fuwei bowed down, touched the ground, and said loudly: "The sinner Du Fuwei asks to see the Holy One." ”

"Please!"

Thinking of Qing Yue's voice in the house, the soldiers at the door used their hands to lead, and Du Fuwei hurriedly walked in. I finally saw this legendary Emperor Shengwu of the Great Sui, who was indeed a dragon and phoenix among people, but seeing him sitting on the main throne in armor, his majesty without anger made Du Fuwei a little nervous, took a breath, took two steps forward, bowed again, and held the sword symbolizing military power high, "The sinner Du Fuwei visited the saint and implored the saint to take back the military and political power of Jianghuai." I am willing to be a pawn of the saint and continue to work for the dogs and horses of the Great Sui. ”

Yang Tong saw that he was burly and his armor was wet, so he asked people to take his saber, and said with a smile: "Don't open your mouth and shut up and say sinners, the past is over, you are the great Liyang Duke appointed by me personally, and please sit down." ”

Du Fuwei thanked him, and when he saw that someone gave him a towel to wipe the water, he immediately thanked him again gratefully.

Waiting for Du Fuwei to wipe the rain from his head and face, Yang Tong smiled and said, "I have heard that General Du's name has been known for a long time, but today is the first time we have met. ”

"The minister has also heard of the prestige of the saint for a long time, and today he finally met the Ming Lord, which is really the luck of the last general's three lives."

Yang Tong nodded, "There is no room for loss in the Jianghuai important land, I will appoint you as the general of the Left Guard today, and continue to lead the Jianghuai army to defend the Jianghuai, and the safety of the Jianghuai will be entrusted to General Du." ”

After saying that, he returned his saber again, back and forth, and the meaning was completely different.

Du Fuwei was greatly moved, Yang Tong trusted him so much, and actually let him continue to garrison Jianghuai, gratefully accepted the admiration, and saluted highly: "The last general is willing to smear his liver and brains to repay the grace of the saint!" ”

"General Du is a martial artist, and I have always been proud of martial artists, so I never like to beat around the bush." Yang Tong saw that he was quite restrained, so he said again: "I am quite clear about your situation, to put it bluntly, it is forced by the situation, and his feelings are pitiful, you have been loyal to Brother Yan Wang and me, and ensured the majesty of the Great Sui, I feel very pleased." Li Yuan and Li Mi are different, they are full careerists, in order to satisfy their rebellious ambitions, they have been planning for more than ten or twenty years, this kind of person is the root cause of the turmoil in the world, so I can't spare the two of them. ”

"If the situation is clear today, Li Yuan, Li Mi, Lin Shihong, and Meng Haigong are just lingering in their eyes. And we in this business can't just sit at home and eat and wait for death, right? I'm only in my early twenties, what can I do without fighting a foreign war? Besides, who would want to cut his sword against his own people if he didn't have to. And what general doesn't want to be famous outside the territory and seal the wolf? So sooner or later, the blade of my Great Sui will be facing outward, and when the time comes, the general will have the opportunity to fight. So take care, general, you still have a long way to go. ”

Yang Tong's words made Du Fuwei's blood boil, and he said: "The last general swears to serve the country to the death." ”

"How is JAC now?" Yang Tong asked.

Du Fuwei said ashamedly: "Back to the saint, Liyang, Danyang and other counties have now been occupied by Li Mi, and now they are facing off with our army in Lujiang Xiang'an. ”

"I can't complain about this general." Yang Tong sighed: "Although the general lost Danjiang and Liyang, I know that it is caused by being dragged down by friendly troops, and I can't complain about the general." I also feel very sorry about the matter of the auxiliary general, I heard that the auxiliary general is both military and political, and he is a rare talent, and it is a loss for the imperial court to lose it in the hands of the thief army. ”

"Holy!" Du Fuwei suddenly left his seat, knelt down in front of Yang Tong with a pop, and said sadly: "There will be a reluctant request in the end, I hope the saint will approve it." ”

Yang Tong said in a harmonious voice: "What is the matter with the general, but it doesn't hurt to say it, why do you need to make this big gift?" Hurry up, please. ”

Du Fuwei said astringently: "Since the righteous brother died, the last general can't sleep every night, every time he thinks about the kindness of the righteous brother, the last general's heart is like a knife, this time to see the saint, but also to ask the holy general to transfer the duke of Liyang County to the righteous brother." ”

"That's it......" Yang Tong frowned slightly when he heard this, the title of the Great Sui is not casually sealed, and those who have great merit cannot be sealed, and therefore, the title is very precious in the Great Sui, and the civil and military officials are proud to be knighted. But if he refuses directly, it will inevitably chill Du Fuwei, after all, Fu Gongyou also died on the battlefield for the imperial court.

Du Fuwei obviously understood this problem, and seeing Yang Tong's hesitation, he bowed again: "Ask for the grace of the Holy Lord, the last general is willing to exchange his life's merits for the title of righteous brother." ”

"General, get up, I didn't say no." Yang Tong already had a plan in his heart, and said: "I posthumously presented the auxiliary general as the prince of Zhangqiu County, and the general was demoted to the prince of Xiang'an County, I don't know what to do?" ”

Du Fuwei nodded, bowed and said, "Thank you, Holy Lord!" ”

"It doesn't have to be like this, General Du and General Auxiliary grew up together, and he knows the deeds of General Auxiliary best, but he can find someone to set up a biography and engrave the inscription, so that future generations can know who General Auxiliary is. When you return, you can immediately send someone to send his remains back to their hometown for burial. ”

"Thank you, Holy Lord." Du Fuwei is extremely grateful, Xiang'an has Kan Ling to guard him very relieved, what bothers him now is the matter of Fu Gongyou, there is no half a lie to Yang Tong before, during this time, he really dreamed of Fu Gongyou, this matter is not good, he will not be at ease for the rest of his life.

"The general is Li Mi's roadblock, and the pressure is huge, but there is a place where you need the help of the imperial court?"

"Back to the Holy One!" Du Fuwei thought for a while, and arched his hand: "The last general has no requirements, I just ask the Holy Lord to send someone to take over the government affairs as soon as possible, so that the last general can focus on military affairs." ”

Yang Tong was quite satisfied with Du Fuwei's knowledge, and said with a smile: "I heard that the 'Shangzhao' army is General Du's strongest combat force. Is there such a thing? ”

"Indeed!" Du Fuwei said a little proudly, "The recruitment of troops is built by the last general to imitate the army of the first emperor Xiaoguo, and every time he fights, he must be the vanguard, and after the battle, check the wounds on everyone's body, and if the injury is in the back, he will be beheaded immediately, because it means that he will retreat from the battle." For each victory, the general would reward him heavily, and if his men were killed in battle, the property of the deceased would be equally distributed among his wives and concubines. Speaking of this, Du Fuwei said quite sadly: "However, the war has been fought so far, and the losses in the recruitment are very great, and there are less than 3,000 people. ”

Yang Tong nodded and said, "I asked the military department to send 3,000 sets of equipment and 6,000 war horses to Lujiang to strengthen the combat strength of the 'Shangzhao' army, and sent a few captains to teach the cavalry tactics of the 'Shangzhao' army, what do you think?" ”

Du Fuwei was overjoyed: "The Great Sui Iron Cavalry is invincible all over the world, and the last general has long been yearning for it, and the saint has arranged it like this, and the last general is grateful." ”

In the troubled times, the heroes rose together, if you talk about pure reckless heroes, Dou Jiande and Du Fuwei are the first to be recommended. The two are one south and one north, but their actions are very different. Dou Jiande is trustworthy, benevolent and people-oriented, even if he defeated Yang Dong in Hebei and was eager to expand the army, but after he arrived in Qingzhou, his love for the people was determined not to change, and he was a well-known man. And Du Fuwei is not much different, he is not ambitious, only to protect the people in the troubled times, but he is also a person who is anxious for justice and righteousness, he himself is deeply affected by taxes before he started the army, for the corrupt officials and corrupt officials hated the extreme, so only a very low tax was charged to the people in the territory, and he also specially ordered that all officials who were corrupt would be executed regardless of the severity. Therefore, the Jianghuai under Du Fuwei can be called a rare paradise in troubled times.

For Du Fuwei, a person who loves the people like a son and has no big ambitions, Yang Tong is very relieved, and said with a smile: "Then let's decide, in terms of government affairs, I will send someone to take over as soon as possible, General Du just has to let go of his hands and feet to fight, and if there are any difficulties in the future, he will speak in time." ”

"Whoa!" Du Fuwei responded, and said: "Shengshang, the last general's righteous son Wang Xiong is strong and resolute, has extraordinary strength, and has some strategies, and the dog Du Zhong is happy with literary affairs, and the minister wants to let the two go to Tsinghua Academy of Literature and Martial Arts to further their studies, I don't know if it is possible?" ”

Yang Tong knew that Du Fuwei was to let his son and righteous son be a proton, although he disdained to do this, but if he didn't accept it, I am afraid that Du Fuwei would not be at ease, so he smiled and said: "Tsinghua School Palace is far away in Yecheng, it is inconvenient to come and go, and Luoyang School Palace is also under construction, once completed, it will open the door to teach, the school palace is divided into literature, martial arts, law, medicine, engineering, agriculture and other colleges, Du Gongzi can choose the college to study according to his preferences." As for Wang Xiongdan, I know that he is a fierce general, so let him be a famous captain in the Xuanjia Army, and be promoted by military merit in the future. ”

"The last general, thank you for your kindness." Du Fuwei is more happy in his heart, the Xuanjia Army is the first pro-army of the Great Sui Emperor, and it is also the cradle of the middle-level military attachés of the Great Sui Army, I heard that many Great Sui generals and colonels are proud to join the Xuanjia Army, and they have won the battle for the quota of an ordinary soldier in the Xuanjia Army, and the emperor has now included Wang Xiongdan in the Xuanjia Army, which is not only the importance of Wang Xiongdan, but also shows the emperor's trust in himself.

"The ordinary soldiers of the Xuanjia Army are all brigade commander-level soldiers, unruly, whether they can surrender these soldiers depends on whether Wang Xiongdan has this ability. If not, I'll have to put him in another army. This is a matter of principle and will not change for any one person. ”

"If Wang Xiongdan doesn't have this ability, no matter how the saint cleans up, the last general will not have half a complaint." Duvowe assured
