Early in the morning, Yuming woke up from his sleep and saw Li Xiuning lying beside her, her eyes were closed, her eyelashes were very long, she looked very good, and there seemed to be a trace of pain in her eyebrows, which should be the reaction after breaking the melon last night.

Yu Ming felt pity and couldn't help but kiss her pretty face. Only then did he realize that counting Li Xiuning, he already had a wife.

In this world, people's concept of love is far from his time, and after staying here for a long time, sometimes he is at a loss to think about which concept interprets the feelings correctly: is love inherently single-minded and exclusive? Or is it because he was instilled with such an idea by the education he received since childhood?

The deepest and greatest relationship should be family affection, family affection can withstand the test more than love, and it is more profound, family affection can be given to several relatives in the same way, and it will not be weak because of the love for one person for the other, so what about love?

Yuming didn't know, he really didn't know, he dared to swear that for the woman he loved deeply, he would not frown when he died, but why, when he was thinking about a woman, he could still float another woman?

For the eldest grandson Wuji, from the moment the two of them entered the cave room, lifted her hijab, and saw it for the first time, he deeply felt her love for himself, and that kind of love was really unforgettable and deep to the bones. He could feel the affection for each other like glue, like a dream. That kind of love that blends together and opens your heart completely is something that no one can replace.

But when he faced Red Sleeves, he also felt that his love for her was sincere, and he could open his heart in front of Red Sleeves, and he believed that Red Sleeves was the same for him.

However, the relationship between the eldest grandson Wujian and Red Sleeves is not necessarily harmonious, can he really adjust the contradictions between the two women? And now that another Li Xiuning has been added, the situation is even more complicated.

The angular shape seems to be the most stable structure. Maybe it's easier for individuals to get along with each other? This thought suddenly appeared in Yu Ming's mind, and he couldn't help but laugh a little at himself.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door in the room, and Yu Ming was taken aback, if someone came in and saw this situation, it would be really embarrassing. After all, in this day and age, it is a terrible thing for men and women to sleep together without passing through the door.

He hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" Is there something wrong? ”

"Husband, it's me!" At this time, the voice of Red Sleeves came from outside the door.

"Wait, I'll open the door right away!" Yu Ming responded. He and Li Xiuning hurried

Yu Ming and Li Xiuning hurriedly got dressed, and then cleaned up the quilt cover on the bed before opening the door.

Red Sleeves walked into the room, sniffed the **** smell in the air, and then looked at the red faces of the two of them, who still didn't understand what had just happened.

After sighing lightly, she said, "Husband, do you remember that before you left Liaodong, you asked me to investigate two teenagers who moved from the Central Plains?" ”

"Yes! At that time, I saw them discussing the various policies and systems of Liaodong, and they seemed to be quite insightful, and now you have inquired about their origins? Yuming asked.

"Hmm!" Red Sleeves nodded and said: "These two people are from Dengzhou, Shandong, and their brother's name is Zhou Tao, who once served as the captain of the battleship of the Great Sui Naval Division, and participated in the battle against Goryeo. After the defeat, he fled back to his hometown and made a living as a helper in a shipyard. ”

And his younger brother's name is Zhou Qiang, who turned out to be a craftsman at Dengzhou Shipyard, who has been helping in the shipyard since he was a child, and is quite insightful about shipbuilding. It is said that he also participated in the construction of the navy's big ship to attack Goryeo, and is a rare excellent shipbuilder! ”

When Yu Ming heard this, he was a little puzzled and said: "These two young people, that brother Zhou Tao can still understand, he must be afraid of being held accountable for the defeat, so he became a deserter incognito." And the younger brother turned out to be an excellent shipbuilder, why did he give up his shipyard work and end up here? ”

Red Sleeves said with a wry smile: "This is not a good thing that Yang Guang did. Wang Bo, Xu Yuanlang and others were originally suppressed by Zhang Xutuo, and they only dared to hide in the mountains to survive, and occasionally dared to go down the mountain to fight the autumn wind. But since Zhang Xutuo died in Liaodong, the bandits in Shandong have become more and more powerful, and the government has not been able to exterminate them at all, but has lost several games in a row. The defenders of the Dengzhou shipyard were also transferred by the county guard to suppress the bandits, resulting in an empty defense, and Xu Yuanlang sent troops to attack and burn many ships. The ship built by Zhou Tao and Zhou Qiang was also burned to the ground. According to the Sui law, if they failed to complete the ship on time, they would be beheaded. So the Zhou brothers had to go incognito and flee to Liaodong to make a living. ”

After hearing this, Yu Ming was immediately overjoyed and said: "Such a talent, it's a pity to deign to be a farmer, my brother Zhou Tao can join my Liaodong Naval Division, and my younger brother Zhou Qiang can go to his old profession and go to Liaodong Shipyard to build a naval warship for us!" ”

"Okay! Then I'll arrange it right away! Redsleeves nodded.

When she left the room, she cast a resentful look at Li Xiuning, and it seemed that she still had a lot of hostility towards Li Xiuning.

And Li Xiuning naturally did not show weakness, with a pair of pretty eyes wide, glared at the red sleeves fiercely, and the two women looked at each other, almost colliding with sparks.

Seeing this, Yu Ming couldn't help but feel that his head was a little painful again, and secretly thought that the blessing of Qi people was not so enjoyable.

……

When the situation in Liaodong began to calm down, Yang Guang finally decided to go to the Turks.

Originally, the officials of the DPRK and China strongly opposed Yang Guang's expedition. Because the rebellion of the Yuan clan and the Dugu clan was put down in the country, Yuming, who was originally the pillar of the Great Sui, also stood on his own in Liaodong, and now it is really not suitable to start a war again.

However, the news from Wang Rengong of Mayi said that the Turks were gathering outside the Saiwai and invaded Dingxiang County, conquered several county seats, and plundered the general situation. It seems that he is going to go south to the Central Plains to fight the autumn wind. This made Yang Guang suddenly furious.

He originally wanted to go north to the Turks and eliminate this alien race that posed the greatest threat to the Great Sui. However, there were many voices of opposition in the DPRK and China, and Yuming was also forced to rebel, which made him hesitate between conquering Liaodong first or conquering the Turks first.

But now the Turks are attacking Dingxiang, and Yuming says he will remain loyal to him. This made Yang Guang's originally hesitant state suddenly become firm. So at the first court meeting after the Spring Festival of the twelfth year of the Great Cause, he made the following expressions as soon as he came.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that Yuming has said that he is still loyal to me and is a subject of the Great Sui, then I will not deal with him for the time being. And the Eastern Turk Shibi Khan, who only signed an alliance with my Great Sui last year, immediately repented this year, and invaded my Dingxiang County, without giving Shibi Khan a little color, he still thought that my Central Plains was a grassland trampled by his horses' hooves. Therefore, I have made up my mind, I will personally conquer the Turks in a month, and I must teach these ungrateful steppe barbarians a lesson, and let them know how powerful my Great Sui is! Yang Guang shouted.

"Your Majesty, this must not be done!" Yu Shiji immediately objected.

After he came out of the ranks, he bowed to Yang Guang and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, last year there was a rebellion of the Yuan clan and the Dugu clan in Hedong and Guanlong, although these traitors have been exterminated by the imperial court, but the impact on the production and people's lives in the above areas is very great, according to statistics, last year, the tax revenue in the Guanlong area fell by more than half compared with the year before, and the grain production was also reduced. The situation in Hedong is worse than that in Guanlong, and in the summer, there were also floods, and the counties of Wu'an, Hedong, Hongnong, and Yuan were seriously affected, and the grain harvest was lost. In this case, if you still insist on sending troops, I am afraid that the imperial court's finances will be difficult to afford! ”

After Yang Guang heard this, he said angrily: "Yu Shiji, I don't know what you are talking about? But now that the Turkic army is pressing the border, and the troops are pointing directly at the northern border of our Great Sui, and they don't send troops to resist, can they not let them come in? ”

Before Yu Shiji could answer, Pei Ju preemptively proposed: "Your Majesty, between the Weichen Khan and the Shibi Khan, I am afraid that it may not be so close, and the Eastern and Western Turks have been fighting each other for more than 20 years. The hatred between each other is deep, even if they join forces temporarily, they will be suspicious of each other, it is better to promise heavy benefits to the Western Turks, let them attack the Eastern Turks from behind, so that the Eastern Turkic troops will retreat. ”

Pei Yun also immediately echoed: "Your Majesty, this plan is very clever, after sending an envoy to negotiate with the Western Turks, even if they can't negotiate, they can still make them hesitate, and they will not send heavy troops to help the Eastern Turks, just the Eastern Turks are not so terrible." Although the Turks were good at riding and archery, they were not good at attacking cities. The border passes in Hetao, Hedong, and Hebei are all fortified, and Yujuluo, Wang Rengong, Luo Yi and others are resourceful generals. If the Turks can't attack for a long time, they will naturally retreat. ”

When Yang Guang heard the Pei brothers say this, Fang's anger eased slightly, and he nodded and said: "It is feasible to send an envoy, so let Lu Chu, the young secretary of Honglu Temple, send an envoy to the Western Turks!" However, it is imperative for me to take the matter of personal conquest, so as to boost the morale of the border generals, and at the same time shock the Turks, and know my determination to fight resolutely...... Of course, considering the financial situation of the imperial court, there is no need to raise troops to ......."

After that, the other side said to Wang Shichong, the secretary of the Ministry of War: "Wang Aiqing, you can tell everyone about the combat arrangements!" ”

"Okay!" Wang Shichong responded, and then said loudly: "In this expedition against the Turks, my Great Sui army is divided into five!" The total mobilization of troops is about 500,000 troops......"

As soon as his voice fell, many officials gasped, 500,000 people are already all the troops that the Sui army can mobilize at present, what is the difference between this and fighting with the army of the country?

Yu Shiji almost couldn't help but speak out against it, but he finally endured it, he wanted to hear where Wang Shichong's 500,000 troops were mobilized.
