After hearing this, Yu Ming nodded and said, "It seems that it is time for us to leave." Now that the saint has named me the king of Zhou, and married Princess Luo Qi to me, he should not do anything to me for the time being. But if he learned that Li Yuan and others had arrived with an army of 200,000, maybe he would think differently. ”

Guo Yi was a little unwilling and said, "Your Highness, let's go back like this?" A favor for nothing? It's better to simply ...... Yang Guang" He made a head-killing action at this time.

Yu Ming smiled dumbly and said, "Yi, you are naïve. If I kill the king now, I will immediately become the public enemy of the world, and Li Yuan, Qu Tutong, Luo Yi and others will immediately start a war with me. After all, the Great Sui still has a certain prestige. ”

"That'...... Can't Cao Cao do that, come to the heavens to order the princes? Guo Yi thought of another idea.

"How can it be so simple? In Cao Cao's time, there was no army loyal to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in the world, he not only held military and political power, but almost all the ministers in the court listened to him. That's why Cao Cao had the capital to blackmail the heavens to order the princes. Yu Ming shook his head with a wry smile and said: "And now, I have no foundation in the court at all, except for Liaodong, the soldiers and horses of other counties are still loyal to Yang Guang." Now is not the time to replace the Great Sui. ”

After a pause, he said with a straight face: "Yi, in fact, we have gained a lot from this trip. The biggest threat to my Liaodong is from the Holy Shang and the Turks. Now the Turks, having lost 400,000 troops, are no longer capable of threatening us. If I'm not mistaken, the steppe will be full of flames. At that time, all the departments will take care of themselves, how can anyone still attack Liaodong? ”

And in this battle of Yanmen Pass, the Great Sui also lost nearly 400,000 troops. And the dead and wounded were all the soldiers of the Twelve Guards and the forbidden army in the palace. As a result, the strength of the central army will be greatly weakened, and not only will it be unable to conquer us, but its control over the local powerful will also be greatly weakened. In the future, it will be a situation where the heroes will rise together, and then we will compete in the Central Plains! Yuming said with a smile.

Guo Yifang suddenly realized, he hurriedly said: "Then do you want me to inform them and prepare to withdraw now?" ”

"Hmm!" Yu Ming nodded, and then said, "You go down first to inform the troops, and in two hours you will begin to retreat back to Liaodong." I'm going to go to the next saint, and I'm going to find him for someone! ”

"Oh? Do you want to transfer someone to Liaodong? Who's that? Guo Yi was not slow to react, and immediately guessed Yu Ming's thoughts.

"Yes! That person is my master, Li Jing! "Yu Ming is colorful.

Combined with the history he knew in his previous life, he had already predicted that soon after he returned to Liaodong, the heroes from all over the country would definitely rebel after the Sui army lost a large number of men and horses. Only then did he ask Li Jing to come to Liaodong to help him, but he was afraid that it would be too late. Taking advantage of the fact that Yang Guang was still a little afraid of himself, he ordered Li Jing to be transferred to Liaodong to take up a post. Just in time for Master to reunite with him.

And the negotiations with Yang Guang were also very smooth. This saint was very dissatisfied with Li Jing's lack of help. Although he also knew that Li Jing was dragged by the Western Turks, so he failed to come. But subjectively believes that this is an excuse for Li Jing, and he wants to see death and not save him.

In this case, Yu Ming wanted Li Jing to go to Liaodong to serve as the assassin in the army, and he would not stop him. First, Li Jing really didn't suit his appetite, and secondly, he also wanted to paralyze Yuming, making him think that he had even let his master go, so it was naturally impossible to deal with him again.

Yang Guang's idea was that after two years of rest, the Sui army would replenish the soldiers, and then launch a lightning-fast attack on Liaodong. At that time, Yang Luoqi, who was already familiar with the situation in Liaodong, responded internally. Wouldn't it be better to start a war?

So, Yang Guang wrote the decree happily and ordered Yuming to send soldiers to escort the prince to Dunhuang to announce the decree. transferred Li Jing to Liaodong to serve as the assassin.

And after doing all this, Yuming said goodbye to Yang Advertising, saying that his soldiers had been away from Liaodong for many months, missing their hometown and wanting to go home early. Now that the siege of Yanmen Pass has been lifted, it is no longer of much use for his 100,000 troops to stay here.

Yang Guang wished that Yuming would leave early, so that he could feel that his safety was guaranteed. So after pretending to stay for a while, he readily agreed to Yuming's withdrawal.

Less than an hour after Yu Ming left, Yang Guang had just breathed a sigh of relief and was about to arrange for his men and horses to return to the Eastern Capital, but people outside the city gate shouted and neighed, which startled him.

He was afraid that the Turks would come and go, or that Yuming would have bad intentions again halfway.

So, Yang Guang hurriedly sent Pei Xingyan to lead the forbidden army to inquire about the news.

But fortunately, Pei Xingyan quickly reported that the people who came were the troops of Li Yuan, Luo Yi, Wang Shichong, Qu Tutong and others. And they also brought good news: that is, Li Yuan was on top, intercepted the defeated Turkic army, and after a fierce battle, killed a number of Turkic nobles. And it was later discovered that one of them turned out to be Shibi Khan, who was dressed as an ordinary Turkic nobleman and wanted to escape in the crowd, but was still killed by Li Shimin with an arrow.

At the same time, they also rescued Yu Shiji, who was captured by the Turkic army. However, the Jieli, Chuluo, and Tuli ran away.

Yang **** was overjoyed after his words, he hated this Shibi Khan, and he couldn't wait to cramp and skin it. Now that this person died in the hands of Li Shimin, he was also very happy.

As a result, Yang Guang immediately named Li Shimin as the Marquis of Tiance and General Wuwei. And let Li Yuan temporarily take charge of the four counties of Mayi, Yanmen, Loufu, and Dingxiang, and accept the original Wang Rengong's authority.

Li Yuan was suddenly overjoyed, as a result, his territory and strength have risen sharply, and if he wants to cause trouble in the future, he will have a greater certainty.

For Luo Yi, Qu Tutong, and Wang Shichong who came to the rescue, Yang Guang also gave a certain promotion. He made Luo Yi the governor of Youzhou, and the commander-in-chief of Beiping, Zhuojun, Shanggu, Xiangping, Hejian and other counties was responsible for exterminating the bandits in Hebei.

Qu Tutong was named Chang'an to stay behind, guarding Xijing Chang'an, and maintaining the stability of Guanzhong.

Since Wang Shichong is already the secretary of the Ministry of War, it is impossible for him to be promoted again. Yang Guang added the title of Bao to him again, and asked Yang Tong, the acting king, to worship him as a teacher.

As for Song Laosheng, Pei Renji, and Pei Xingyan, they have been in Yanmen for so many days, and of course they will be rewarded. Yang Guang announced that Song Laosheng would be promoted to the general of the Right Marquis Guard, and he would also lead the Guanzhong envoy, responsible for exterminating the bandits in the Guanzhong area.

Pei Renji was appointed as the governor of Shandong, responsible for the conquest of Wang Bo, Xu Yuanlang and other Shandong bandits.

His son Pei Xingyan was also promoted to hussar general and was responsible for exterminating the Wagang army because of his heroic battle in the battle of defending the city at Yanmen Pass.

Pei Ju, Pei Yun, Yu Shiji and others who went through hardships together in Yanmen Pass with him were also rewarded.

This series of appointments and rewards made all the generals very happy. After all, who doesn't want to be promoted and make a fortune?

After finishing these things, Yang Guang also felt a little tired. He didn't want to stay in Yanmen for a moment. When he ordered the class teacher to return to the court. Go to the warm palace of the Eastern Capital.

……

In July of the twelfth year of the Great Cause, the warm summer wind finally blew to Liaodong, the crops in the fields are growing vigorously, and the land of the Northeast Plain is already green, and the immigrants from the Central Plains are seizing the time to water and fertilize and strive for a good harvest this year.

On the official road ten miles away from Liaodong City, there was a large group of Sui officers and soldiers marching, all of them in the dust, and their expressions were a little tired. However, what is surprising is that these officers and men are all smiling and laughing, and they do not seem to be uncomfortable at all because of the fatigue of the journey.

Needless to say, this army was the 100,000 Liaodong Army that returned from Yanmen Pass. Yuming's attack this time is still not small. not only eliminated the hidden danger of the Turks, but also was crowned the king of Zhou by Yang Guang. Although this King of Zhou has no other use except for a false name. But in Liaodong's surname, his status can't help but be one level higher. It is very beneficial for the governance of a stable place.

Moreover, what surprised Yuming was that when he was leaving, he was also given a Liquan treasure spear by Queen Xiao. This gun is made of black steel imported from Dashi, about two zhang long, and the gun is sharp.

In addition, the harvest that is most closely related to him is that he is officially engaged to a princess, and this princess is famous in the Eastern Capital, Princess Luo Qi, one of the four beauties.

Right now, Princess Luo Qi is sitting in the carriage, looking out the window to watch the scenery of Liaodong. Yuming sat next to her, answering all kinds of questions she asked with a bitter face.

"When I get home, let's let Xiuning accompany her. The two of them are cousins who have played together since childhood and have a deep relationship. Only Xiuning can influence this Princess Loki on a certain distance. Yu Ming thought secretly.

It didn't take long for the carriage to stop, and then a large number of people shouted in unison from outside the carriage: "Welcome King Zhou back to the city!" ”

Yuming got out of the carriage, but saw Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Fang Xuanzao and other ministers waiting here. Of course, even less his wife at home.

The eldest grandson Wujian and Li Xiuning are both wearing blue and white Luo skirts today, looking very fresh and beautiful.

When they saw Yuming appear, they all exclaimed, and then they rushed over with an arrow, threw themselves into his arms, and hugged him tightly, as if they were afraid that as soon as they let go, their husbands would leave them.

"Husband, during the time you went on the expedition, our sisters were worried, and we were afraid that you would have some strengths and weaknesses, but it was okay. You're finally back safely! The eldest grandson said with a happy face. But there are tears on her pretty face, which makes people love and pity.

As soon as she mentioned "sister", Yuming asked with some surprise: "What about Sister Red Sleeves?" Why didn't she come? ”

"Oh, husband, I just forgot to tell you that Sister Red Sleeves just gave birth to a daughter and is breastfeeding at home. So I can't come outside the city to meet you! Li Xiuning hurriedly explained.

"It's okay! As long as their mother and daughter are safe! Yuming said overjoyed. He is not like the men in this world, he has a patriarchal mentality, for him, both men and women are the same, and he even thinks that his daughter is more cute and obedient.
