Yang Gao never thought that Princess Yicheng would misunderstand herself, so she was shocked, and hurriedly pushed her hand and refused: "The imperial aunt said that it was funny, I and Princess Ashina have only met for the first time, how can we talk about lifelong events?" ”

Princess Yicheng thought that Yang Gao was pretending to be reserved, and continued to persuade with a smile: "Your Majesty said that it was a joke, since ancient times, marriage has been a major event, the order of the parents, and the words of the matchmaker. Although I am not Liyun's biological mother, she also calls me mother. Since the incident in Yanmen, the relationship between the Great Sui and the Turks has been poor, and Liyun entered the palace to serve His Majesty, and the relationship between the Great Sui and the Turks could also be repaired. ”

Ashina Liyun, who was on the side, listened to Princess Yicheng's words, and immediately understood her intentions, and immediately knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Majesty is the dragon and phoenix among people, and Liyun is willing to enter the palace to serve Your Majesty!" ”

Yang Gao has a clear view of Princess Yicheng and Ashina Liyun's intentions, but he hates such a political marriage the most in his life, and he has no intention of recovering the country for the Turks.

However, Princess Yicheng is her own elder after all, and if she refuses in person, it will inevitably save her face. Then he gave Princess Yicheng a sloppy look at her mother and daughter: "What the imperial aunt said does have some truth, but I have to ask the queen mother for instructions on this matter first." ”

Princess Yicheng nodded when she heard this: "The Queen Mother is Your Majesty's mother-in-law, and this matter is indeed discussed with her first." ”

Yang Gao pretended to say a few words to Princess Yicheng again, hurriedly got out, and turned his gaze to Fang Xuanling, Zhanzhao and his party: "Fang Aiqing, Zhan Guard, Ouyang Qianhu, you have worked hard to escort the princess along the way, and I know in my heart that I will reward you well when I return to Jiangdu!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The three of them hurriedly knelt down on the ground to thank God.

Yang Gao nodded slightly, and then swept his gaze to the red lady next to the three of them, only to see that this woman was tall, wearing a red robe, and her body was hot, quite beautiful. There didn't seem to be such a person in the secret path brocade guard, and he suddenly asked curiously: "I don't know who this girl is... ”

Fang Xuanling hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, this red girl is a chivalrous woman in the rivers and lakes, and thanks to her Weichen along the way, she was able to bring Her Royal Highness the princess back safe and sound." Her husband, Li Yan, was originally a subordinate of the rebel Li Yuan......"

Just as Fang Xuanling was babbling about the origin of the Red Lady, Yang Gao's mind also sounded the prompt sound of the system: "Ding Dong, the chaotic character Red Lady has been detected, the commander is 84, the force is 83, the intelligence is 80, the politics is 72, and the charm is 95." ”

"It turns out that the red lady who was carried out when Li Zicheng was messed with a long time ago. I remember that Li Yan was a scapegoat because of Li Jiancheng's defeat of Jing Xiang, it seems that the red lady is planning to avenge her husband! ”

As soon as the system prompted, Yang Gao understood the intention of the red lady to come here. After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, he spoke: "The red girl has made meritorious contributions to escorting Princess Yicheng this time, I will forgive you from your previous sins, allow you to join the army, and avenge your husband!" ”

When the red lady heard this, she was overjoyed, and immediately thanked God and said: "The people thank Your Majesty for your great kindness, and in the next life, I would like to repay Your Majesty's great kindness!" ”

"Red Girl, please get up!"

Yang Gao raised his hand to signal the red lady to get up, and encouraged her a few more words. Before he finished speaking, a hurried sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded in the distance, and a scribe rode his horse and shouted: "Report, Your Majesty, urgent military situation, Weichen has an urgent military situation!" ”

The civil official galloped in front of Yang Gao, hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted, and bowed his hands to worship: "Weichen Uncle Zhang sees Your Majesty at night!" ”

"Lord Zhang is exempt from courtesy!"

Yang Gao waved his hand and asked in a deep voice, "Lord Zhang is so out of shape, what happened?" ”

Uncle Zhang hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the Qingzhou bandit Song Jiang Xingbing invaded my Great Sui, and its front vanguard Li Kui was brutal, and after the siege of Xuchang County was blocked, he actually raised troops to slaughter the city!" ”

As soon as Uncle Zhang's words came out, everyone present was shocked and stayed in place. Yang Gao's eyes widened, and he stared at Zhang Shuye deadly: "What did you say, slaughtering the city?" ”

Uncle Zhang nodded heavily, with a sad and indignant expression on his face: "Your Majesty, more than 14,000 soldiers and civilians in the city of Xuchang County have all died tragically under the butcher's knife of the bandits!" ”

"Bastard, butcher, I am determined to break this thief into pieces!"

Yang Gao no longer had the heart to pay attention to Princess Yicheng and her party at this moment, and shouted in a deep voice: "Spread my will, immediately mobilize the garrison near Pengcheng, I want to drive the royal conquest in person, and capture this murderous butcher alive." ”

。。。。。。。。。。

Li Kui's massacre of the city in Xuchang County angered all Sui officials. Under Yang Gao's order, officials at all levels, regardless of civil and military or grade, went all out to carry out His Majesty's order, vowing to capture Li Kui, a murderous demon, alive and pay tribute to tens of thousands of innocent soldiers and civilians in Xuchang County.

Three days later, Yang Gao led Yuwen Chengdu, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Liu Bowen, Fang Xuanling, Zhang Shuye and other civil and military forces and 50,000 troops from Pengcheng to Dongping County.

At night, Yang Gao's imperial tent was still brightly lit.

Yang Gao has a golden helmet and golden armor, sitting in the first place. Liu Bowen, Qin Qiong, Fang Xuanling, Yuwen Chengdu and other civil and military generals stood in priority and priority. Zhang Shuye, who was in charge of collecting military information, was giving a detailed introduction to the situation of Song Jiangjun's army to everyone in the tent.

"After Li Kui slaughtered Xuchang County, he continued to raise troops to the south, and broke through Suchang County, although he did not massacre the city like Xuchang County, but he still killed all the officials and their families."

Yang Gao's face turned pale, gritted his teeth and said: "A group of murderous butchers are really hateful. Spread my will, fight in the future, and never accept the surrender of this group of thieves! ”

The civil and military forces in the tent all bowed their hands and said: "Weichen obeys the holy order!" ”

Yang Gao paused and asked Uncle Zhang, "Zhang Qing, where is the main army of Song Jiang now?" ”

Uncle Zhang replied with his hand: "Back to Your Majesty, according to the scout's report, since four days ago, the Song Jiang army has been stationed in Pingyan Town near Juyeze, and its movements are unknown. ”

"Great, Your Majesty, this is a godsend!"

As soon as Uncle Zhang's voice fell, the general Nan Jiyun said loudly: "Pingyan Town is a hundred miles away from Suchang County, and Li Kui's lone army is deep, which just gives us the opportunity to encircle and annihilate in one fell swoop. The last general is not talented, and he is willing to have 3,000 elite soldiers, and he will raid Suchang in the starry night, and he will definitely behead Li Kui and pay tribute to more than 10,000 people in Xuchang City. ”

Nan Jiyun has been staying in Jiangdu for several years, and his eyes are red when he sees his former colleagues making contributions on the battlefield and becoming an official and becoming a knight. This time, he suddenly encountered a fighter plane, and immediately jumped out to ask for battle.

Luo Shixin, Qin Yong and other generals also came out one after another to ask for battle: "The last general is willing to go with General Nan to capture Li Kui, a murderous demon!" ”
