In March of the fifth year of the Great Cause, Yang Guangqin led a large army, and Longxi, Guanzhong and the various government soldiers converged in Chang'an, and then the mighty Xijing (Chang'an) set off, arrived at Longxi County, and then the Sui army was divided into two routes, the main force was led by Yu Wenshu, and the main attack on the important town of Tuyuhun from the southern line Jialan City.

And Li Jing led a partial division, surprisingly crossed the Qilian Mountain, appeared on the shore of Qinghai Lake, and killed from the back of the Tuyuhun army.

The Tuyuhun army was suddenly caught off guard, and was flanked by the two armies of Yuwenshu and Li Jing, and was defeated.

After a fierce battle, the Sui army finally annihilated the Tuyuhun army, and the king of Tuyuhun was also killed by Li Jing with an arrow in the process of fleeing. And all the members of the Tuyuhun royal family who accompanied him were captured. Tuyuhun perished from then on, and the Sui army expanded its land to a wide area of thousands of miles.

Yang Guang immediately placed the four counties of Xihai, Heyuan, Shanshan, and Mo in the old land of Tuyuhun, and then went west to Qinghai Lake, crossed the Qilian Mountains, and went north through the Dadouba Valley to reach Zhangye County in the Hexi Corridor.

After the Sui Dynasty army arrived in Zhangye County, the monarchs and envoys of the 27 countries of the Western Regions came to meet and express their submission. Merchants from all over the world also gathered in Zhangye and expressed their willingness to trade with the Great Sui.

Subsequently, when he was preparing to return, Yang Guang placed Yiwu County in the vicinity of Hami, which was close to the Western Turks, to guard against a possible attack by the Western Turks.

So far, the expedition of the Sui army has expanded a total of more than 1,200 miles, destroyed several small countries in Tuyuhun and the Western Regions, established five new counties, and gathered a population of more than 1 million. The road to the Western Regions is ensured.

When Yuwenshu returned with the main force of the Sui army, it was already the first month of the second year.

Li Jing, on the other hand, had to deal with the issue of the newly established Yiwu County Border Army, so it was much later than the main force of the Sui army to return, and according to Yuwen, it may not be until the end of the year. This made Yu Wenming, who was anxious to ask for his master, couldn't help but be greatly disappointed.

At this time, not long after the New Year, Yuwen Mansion was still shrouded in a festive atmosphere.

Since Yu Wenming practiced knife skills with a kitchen knife for the first time, Xiao Wanjun felt that it was too dangerous for him to practice with a kitchen knife. If you hurt other children in the house, there will be a lot of trouble. So he confiscated his kitchen knife and asked a carpenter to make him a few wooden knives.

It doesn't matter if you have a sword, as long as you have a knife to practice. Although he had a Damascus black steel knife given by Mubashaf, the knife was really too sharp, not to mention ordinary trees, even other people's treasure knives and spears, which would break when touched. Naturally, it cannot be used as a knife for practice.

And now he has just obtained the trick of the Heavenly Sword Technique, and the realm of the Knife Technique has also entered the first layer, even if he is wielding a wooden knife, he is still dancing vigorously.

What surprised him was that the little beauty of the eldest grandson Wujian also had the potential to be a female man, and after she came to watch Yu Wenming practice martial arts many times, she actually became interested in practicing knives and asked to practice the Heavenly Sword Technique with him.

Eldest Sun Sheng originally didn't want Eldest Sun to practice martial arts. In his opinion, girls should learn some skills such as embroidery and sewing, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so as to be recognized by others and marry a good family in the future.

But the eldest grandson Wuji refused to live or die, saying that since her brother and eldest grandson Wuji can learn both martial arts and literature, why can she only learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? She said that she must follow Yu Wenming to learn knife techniques, saying that only in this way can she ensure that she is not bullied and protect her parents and Brother Ming. It makes Yu Wenming ridiculous.

However, after all, Yu Wenming is a person who has crossed over from the afterlife, and is far more enlightened and enlightened than Yu in this regard. In his opinion, since the eldest grandson Wujian is unwilling to learn those female workers, and at the same time has the idea of practicing martial arts, it is not impossible to practice swordsmanship with him.

After all, in troubled times, a girl can only ensure that she has a greater chance of living if she knows martial arts. Moreover, now that Master Li Jing is on the march with the army, his wife and daughter have also traveled all over the world. He is also a little lonely when he practices martial arts alone, and he can also urge himself not to relax when he has a sparring partner.

Originally, as the illegitimate son of Yu Wenming, he had no right to speak in the house. But recently, he is in the limelight, in the poetry competition and answering the issue of the big food messenger, he was appreciated by Emperor Yang Guang, and was named the Taixue permanent attendant of the Guozi Temple who was named the eighth grade, and became the youngest official in the eastern capital, which caused a sensation in the capital. Even the youngest daughter of the saint, Princess Luo Qi, came to visit him in the mansion in person, although she came in the name of visiting her sister Princess Nanyang, but no one in the Yuwen Mansion could see that this princess had to be accompanied by Yuwen every time.

In this way, Yu Wenming's status in the mansion has also risen. It has been valued by the elders of the Yuwen family. The voice in the government is also much greater than in the past. Not only the people in the Yuwen Mansion, but even many people outside the Mansion believe that Yuwen Shu and Yu Culture are very likely to break the convention and appoint this concubine, who is known as the prodigy of Luoyang, as the future head of the Yuwen family.

Because of Yu Wenming's life-saving grace to him, and for the sake of his daughter and Yu Wenming's mutual affection, Changsun Sheng finally had to agree to Changsun Wujian's request and allow them to practice martial arts together.

So, this pair of young boys and girls who were secretly in love took a wooden knife and began to practice according to the method taught in the Heavenly Sword Knife Method.

But in this way, the two willow trees in the courtyard suffered, and they were soon tossed and dying by the two of them.

Later, Xiao Wanjun had to find another carpenter in the mansion and place a row of wooden stakes in the courtyard for them, so that the two wilting willow trees could be brought back to life.

The improvement of Yu Wenming's status in the mansion naturally aroused the jealousy of the disciples of the other rooms. Especially the eldest son of the second room Yu Wenshi and Yu Wencheng, he was even more dissatisfied with Yu Wenming.

Although Yu Wencheng also participated in the poetry competition last year, his performance was not good, and after being humiliated by Chai Shao, he had to rely on Yu Wenming to save face for the family, which naturally made Yu Wenshu extremely disappointed in him.

This made Yu Wencheng, who had always been arrogant and thought that he was the best among the younger generation of the Yuwen family, could not accept this status quo at all.

Moreover, since he met his eldest grandson Wujian at the Han Poetry Conference, he fell in love with this delicate-looking, charming and charming little beauty at first sight. Especially when he saw that the eldest grandson Wujian had come to Yuwen's house many times, he surrounded her and was very attentive.

It's a pity that the eldest grandson Wujian only has Yu Wenming in his eyes, and he doesn't care about Yu Wencheng at all, which makes him feel even more embarrassed.

As a result, he has been planning how to humiliate Yu Wenming and make him lose face, so as to affect the image of the elders in the family towards him.

One day in September, Yu Wencheng called Yu Wenjie to his bedroom to discuss how to deal with Yu Wenming.

"Brother Jie, you have also seen the current situation: that bastard is becoming more and more rampant. didn't take us and others seriously at all, even grandpa was biased towards him, and before leaving, he repeatedly warned me not to bully that kid. Now even Princess Luo Qi and the young lady of the eldest grandson family come to visit, and they are only willing to talk to him. Ignore me and continue like this. I'm afraid there will be no place for my brothers in the house! Yu Wencheng said with an indignant face.

In fact, Yu Wenming has been concentrating on martial arts training, and he has not paid attention to Yu Wencheng at all. It's just that this kind of ignorance makes Yu Wencheng feel more lost and angry.

And Yu Wenjie was violently beaten by Yu Wenming once before, and he failed to please his mother when he asked his mother to come forward, he has always bullied Yu Wenming, and he was not at his mercy when Yu Wenming suddenly turned over, and let himself be embarrassed and humiliating, so he naturally gritted his teeth with hatred.

He immediately hated and said, "This guy is really hateful." He even beat me up before. Even my mother didn't dare do anything to him! Brother Cheng, you are a scholar, and your brain is much better than mine, you say, what should we do? ”

Since Yu Wencheng dared to consult with Yu Wenjie today, he must have thought of an idea in his heart. At this time, he said with a teasing smile on his face: "Brother Jie, I heard that you often hang out with a group of splashes in the east of the city?" ”

Yu Wenjie was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly said with a weak heart: "I am just a general friend with them, and I don't have deep contact...... It's really not deep! ”

"Hehe, Brother Jie, don't deny it! I'm not going to tell you to my grandfather. Yuwen Cheng smiled, and then said: "I happened to hear the eldest grandson girl say the day before yesterday that she was going to go out with Yu Wenming early tomorrow morning and wanted to see him practice martial arts." That gave me an idea......"

He lowered his voice at this time, and said with a gloomy smile: "I want to ask you to ask those pungent skins to do me a favor, and I can give them a heavy reward after the deed is completed......"
