Ten days later, the three hundred jinshi led by the champion Zhang Juzheng and Bangyan Fang Xuanling entered the Wenhua Hall in two rows in turn, and saluted respectfully to Yang Gao on the dragon chair: "The grass people see Your Majesty. ”

Yang Gao nodded slightly, and said lightly: "Get up!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yang Gao looked around at the people in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "You are all well-educated people, and now you are very clear about the form of my Great Sui, I hope that all of you who are well-educated will fully assist me in reviving the Great Sui country, and I will never treat you badly in the future." ”

"The ministers must do their best to assist Your Majesty in reviving the mountains and rivers!" Three hundred scholars knelt on one knee at the same time and said in unison.

Yang Gao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Except for the top three, the rest will go to the Ministry of Officials to report, and someone there will arrange your appointment and whereabouts." ”

A group of scribes were ordered to retreat, and only Zhang Juzheng, Fang Xuanling, and Fang Zheng were left in the palace.

"Tanhualang Fang Zheng stepped forward to listen to the seal."

"The grass people are here!"

Dressed in a blue Confucian robe, with a thin figure, Fang Zheng, who was about twenty-six or seventeen years old, stepped forward and bowed towards Yang Gao and said.

"Let me test Fang Zheng's four dimensions?" Yang Gao quietly commanded the system.

"Ding Dong, Fang Zheng's current ability has been detected, commander 52, force 60, intelligence 83, and politics 87."

"Intelligence is 83, politics is 87, and his ability is not bad, it is definitely more than enough to be a county guard, but the commander is too low, so he can't be put on the border as an official." Yang Gao secretly commented on this Fang Zheng in his heart, and said lightly: "Fang Zheng, I appointed you as the guard of Lujiang County, I hope you will live up to my high expectations and govern Lujiang County well." ”

"Weichen will definitely live up to His Majesty's kindness!" From a commoner to a county guard, Fang Zheng was naturally overjoyed, and immediately thanked the Holy Grace.

Yang Gao turned his head to look at Fang Xuanling again, and Fang Xuanling's four-dimensional was also detected by the system, as a commander 80, military force 63, intelligence 97, and politics 96. You can not only be released as a county guard, but also be a military strategist, or you can stay in the court to participate in court politics.

After hesitating for a long time, Yang Gao said in a deep voice: "Fang Qiao stepped forward to listen to Feng, I appointed you as the right man of Shangshu to assist Lord Yu Yunwen in taking care of affairs. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Fang Qiao was overjoyed when he heard this, the unhappiness that he did not win the champion in the imperial examination suddenly disappeared, Yu Yunwen is Yang Gao's confidant, the minister of Long Cong, and Yu Yunwen will definitely have a bright future in the future.

"Zhang Juzheng stepped forward to listen to the seal!"

Yang Gao cleared his throat and set his eyes on Zhang Juzheng in the center.

"The grass people are here!" Zhang Juzheng stepped forward and bowed with a calm face.

Yang Gao smiled slightly: "Zhang Juzheng, a whip method you proposed in this imperial examination is very much in line with my wishes, I decided to set up a land department, with Aiqing as the Qingtian envoy, and completely implement a whip law in the territory of the Great Sui, and give Shang Fang a sword, if I come in person, if anyone dares to obstruct it, Aiqing can take this sword and cut it!" ”

Zhang Juzheng was shocked when he heard this, and immediately knelt on the ground, bowed respectfully, and said in a trembling voice: "Weichen commands!" ”

。。。。。。。。。。

Hailing, the palace of the king of Chu

Li Zitong raised the letter in his hand, and said to Fang La, who was at the head of the head: "Sister Ling is really a heroine among women, and not long after entering Jiangdu, she found out such important news!" ”

Fang La smiled slightly when he heard this, "I don't know what information Baihua has found out that makes King Chu so excited?" ”

Li Zitong said with a smile: "Baihua sent a letter saying that Guanlong Li Yuan raised 200,000 troops to the south, and the main force of the Sui army rushed to Jingxiang to meet Li Yuan, Huainan was empty, and Gu decided to take this opportunity to attack Huainan, and then threaten Jiangdu." ”

Fang La's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, but he still said with a slight concern: "King Chu, will there be any fraud in this?" ”

Li Zitong pondered for a moment, waved his hand and said: "General Fang is too worried, I heard that Li Yuan in Guanzhong has now established himself as the emperor, the founding name is Tang, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and Yang Gao Xiao'er is the heir designated by Yang Guang's faint monarch, so it is very likely that Li Yuan will send troops to Jingxiang." ”

Fang La nodded, "What the King of Chu said is extremely true, since this is the case, the last general is not talented, and he is willing to lead an elite army to attack Huainan, go straight to Jiangdu, and capture Yang Gao'er alive!" ”

Li Zitong glanced at Fang La deeply, a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes, and then he shook his head and said in a deep voice: "This battle is very important for our army, if we take Huainan and conquer Jiangdu, the strength of our army will become the most of the kings in Jiangnan, so Gu decided to take command himself!" ”

Fang La's eyes flashed a trace of disappointment, but he still arched his hand and said, "The last general will obey!" He slowly withdrew from the main hall.

Looking at Fang La's distant back, Li Zitong sneered, "Fang La, don't think I don't know what you're thinking in your heart, don't forget what I used to do, your eyes are too familiar to me, how could I give you the opportunity to lead the army alone!" ”

Ten days later, Li Zitong swore an army in Hailing, with the general Ye Xiaobi as the vanguard, and raised 80,000 troops to kill Huainan.

This Li Zitong does have several fierce generals, because of Fang La, who entered the system and Fang Jie and Si Xingfang who were carried out by him, among which Fang Jie implanted his identity as Fang La's son, and Si Xingfang was Fang La's doorman. But the bravest of Li Zitong's men was not the two, but Wu Yunzhao, the former chief soldier of Nanyang Pass of the Great Sui.

However, Wu Yunzhao's identity is different from that in Romance, his father is not Wu Jianzhang, the loyal and filial king of the Great Sui, and he does not have a righteous brother Xiong Kuohai, and his cousin Wu Tianci does not exist.

He is just an ordinary Nanyang Pass guard, in the ninth year of the Great Cause, he was ordered to participate in the battle against Goguryeo, but he just left Nanyang Pass for three days, Nanyang Pass unfortunately fell into the bandits, Yang Guang did not notice for a while, Wu Yunzhao was imprisoned, Wu Yunzhao was sad and angry, and knocked out the soldiers who escorted him halfway, and defected to Li Zitong.

The information that Li Zitong's 80,000 army was coming to attack was quickly sent to Xue Rengui and Chang Yuchun, the two looked at each other and smiled, Fang Baihua was captured and sent false information to Li Zitong Yang Gao had already informed the two of them, and the two of them had already spread their nets and laid a net in Huainan, just waiting for Li Zitong to come in.

Huainan's current strength is about 80,000 in addition to the group of soldiers, of which 30,000 were brought by Xue Rengui and Chang Yuchun from Jiangdu, 30,000 were captured in the first battle to destroy Du Fuwei, and the remaining 20,000 were brought from Jiangdu by Lu Heng, who had just arrived in Huainan.

Although the strength is the same as Li Zitong's, the Sui army's combat strength is far superior to Li Zitong's Chu army, plus the Chu army is in the Ming and the Sui army is in the dark, with or without intention, the Sui army is full of confidence in this war.

After carefully studying the marching route of the Chu army, Xue Rengui calmly began his subordinates, and said confidently: "The net has been opened, and the bag has been arranged. Just wait for the birds to pounce on the nets and the fish to enter the bag! ”
