And at this moment, in the inner house of the Jin Palace, a woman who is three points more beautiful than Concubine Xiao, the slender jade finger Hao Ran is scratching the word 'Ziqiao' on the table.

The little maid who reported the news stood honestly, and didn't dare to say a word.

Suddenly, this beautiful woman thought of something, and silently recited the nursery rhyme that had been circulated in Jingshi before: 'Ji has no head, the sea is boundless, and sooner or later the world will be under his control.' ’

According to the solution of Yang Guang, the king of Jin: Ji Wutou is a Li character, and the boundless sea is the abyss.

But why is 'Ji Wutou' just going to skim it? What if it's a 'he' who goes?

As for the 'boundless sea', the boundless sea, it is natural to pass through the boundless 'bridge'.

Isn't this exactly the word 'Ziqiao'?

'I didn't expect you to be Hanchuan Liu Wen! This beautiful woman's eyes glowed with a different kind of brilliance, and she remembered the expression on his face when he mentioned Qin Shi Huang in Ganlu Temple that day, and a charming smile hung on the corner of the beauty's mouth, and she said in her heart: 'Liu Ziqiao, you are really a man who aspires to the world!' ’

……

The army is about to set out, how can you take care of the love of children, the marriage of Liu Wen and Xiao Meiniang, Yang Guang gave full authority to Concubine Xiao to arrange.

After Yang Guang presented Liu Wen's divine horse, he immediately led his own soldiers to set off, and hurried to Shouchun before the year.

It is different from the Western Jin Dynasty in the late Han Dynasty.

The Great Sui Dynasty was stronger than the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the Southern Chen Dynasty was weaker than the Eastern Wu.

Not only that, if the Southern Dynasties want to take the Yangtze River as a risk, they must hold the line of the Qinling Huai River, otherwise, not only will they lose their strategic depth, but the Yangtze River will also become a natural danger that can be borrowed by both the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the Northern Dynasties can cross the Yangtze River and go south by surprise at any time.

And now Nan Chen is in this unfavorable situation.

In the past ten years, although the Great Sui has not been large-scale in the past ten years, because it has occupied the strategic initiative, it has often used the tired tactics of feints to play with the Southern Dynasties in panic.

And the long-term cat-and-mouse teasing also made the Southern Dynasty magnates psychologically numb, although they were very afraid of the Great Sui, but they all had a kind of luck mentality, and every time they felt that the Sui Dynasty would not fight.

And every time they prophesied, they succeeded......

……

Liu Wen followed Yang Guang and led a hundred horsemen to gallop wildly, which took five days, and finally arrived in Shouchun a year ago.

Yang Guang, the king of Jin, performed remarkably well along the way, strict with himself and lenient with others, even Liu Wen couldn't help but be impressed, and unconsciously remembered two lines of poetry in his heart:

Zhou Gong was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the time.

Xiang Zhi died at the beginning, who knows the truth of his life?

The current Yang Guang gives people the feeling that he is a virtuous king, which is very different from the tyrant Emperor Yang of Sui, who later rejoiced in his achievements, abused the people's power, and exhausted hundreds of people.

is the same person, and the two completely different performances before and after are really embarrassing.

……

Yang Guang is an extremely smart person with a very high emotional intelligence, even if Liu Wen is on guard, he is quickly captured by his warm offensive, drinking and chatting together almost every night.

The relationship became more and more familiar, and finally it became almost impossible to talk.

The night before Chinese New Year's Eve, both of them missed their families a little, and somehow, they talked about Liu Wen's cousin Qiu Fu, which reminded Liu Wen of another cousin, Qin Qiong.

Liu Wen had the heart to help Qin Qiong exonerate, and he also wanted to pit his future rival Li Yuan, so he told Qin Qiong's encounter in Shanxi after beautifying it.

"What do you think?" Yang Guang asked Liu Wen with a silent smile.

"I just thought it was weird, and I couldn't figure it out. It is reasonable to be reasonable, King Jin, you should not intercept and kill this Tang Guogong who has just been demoted to the Marquis of Taiyuan. What's more, this assassination attempt was very unplanned, and it was quite a failure. It can't be the play played by this Tang Guogong himself, right? ”

Whether it was or not, Liu Wen first gave Li Yuan a big hat.

Secretly laughed: "Hmph, I'll give you some eye medicine in front of the future emperor first to limit your development." ’

Yang Guang didn't speak immediately, he poured himself and Liu Wen a glass of hot wine first, his movements were very smooth, his expression was very calm, and his psychological quality was absolutely excellent.

After putting down the wine jug, Yang Guang muttered: "Ji has no head, the sea is boundless, and the world will be under his control sooner or later." After speaking, he looked at Liu Wen: "Ziqiao, how do you interpret this nursery rhyme?" ”

"Isn't it made up by Yu Culture?"

"Hehehe, you are really bold! As soon as he opened his mouth, he framed two senior members of the DPRK and China! ”

Although he said this, Yang Guang did not mean to blame at all, and he was not surprised, after all, Qiu Rui and Yu Wenhua did not deal with each other at all, in Yang Guang's opinion, Liu Wen's opinion was influenced by Qiu Rui.

"What if I told you that this was made up by the Guan Long family?"

"The Guanlong family?" Liu Wen frowned.

He has lived in this era for many years and has a certain understanding of Guanlong Group.

Although this Guanlongmen valve is a bit of the shadow of the Wei and Jin Shi clans, it is the product of the intermarriage and fusion of the Xianbei aristocracy and the local Han surname Haoqiang.

However, because of the superiority of Han culture, through marriage and cultural integration, it gradually became dominated by Han surnames, and the Xianbei surnames such as Yuwen, Yuchi, and Dugu gradually faded.

In this case, although Yang Jian is surnamed Han, he can also get support within the Guanlong Group. So he easily snatched his grandson's throne and became independent on behalf of Zhou.

But after Yang Jianhe ascended the throne, he didn't want other nobles to hinder the imperial power, and in order to leave a legacy for his descendants, he continued to secretly weaken and suppress these Guanlongmen valves.

So he reused Gao Gong and asked him to advocate reforms, and to levy heavy taxes on the nobles and very low taxes on the commoners. There are a range of other policies that benefit the people. In the end, a large number of commoners broke away from the control of the nobility, weakening the family of gate lords, and the population of the Great Sui also reached more than 30 million.

Thinking of so much, Liu Wen seemed to understand a little: Could it be that this Li Yuan is one of the representatives who is supported by the Guanlongmen valve and is ready to deal with the imperial power? Or is he the one who was chosen to represent Sui?

"Drink, it's getting cold." After Yang Guang finished speaking, he took the initiative to touch the glass with Liu Wen, and after drinking the wine, he said: "When Li Yuan was able to leave Beijing safely, it was my mother's idea for him, and he begged for love from his father. ”

Dugu's.

Liu Wen suddenly understood that Dugu Jialuo, the queen of the dynasty, was Li Yuan's aunt, and it was said that Li Yuan was also raised by her.

Their lonely family is really powerful!

Dugu Jialuo's eldest sister is the empress of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, she herself is the founding queen of the Great Sui, and the fourth sister is the mother of the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Which emperor would like this kind of super aristocracy that goes all the way? No wonder Yang Guang and Li Shimin both opened their doors to the Guanlongmen valve.

Liu Wen drank the wine, the taste was sweet and sour, and there was a kind of rice flavor, yes, he drank it and went up, but even if he was drunk, he could still maintain a certain degree of self-control and sobriety, although he talked to Yang Guang a lot more casually, fortunately, he still adhered to the last measure, and did not reveal his ambition and what he shouldn't say.

……

The next day, Liu Wen got up in a daze.

'Here...... It doesn't seem to be my room. By the way, I drank with King Jin last night, and at the end of the day, ......

Liu Wen thumped his head.

Fragmented ~~~

On the wall of this room, a layer of mud with straw was scraped, and it looked poorly arranged......

Yang Guang's room?!

You won't say anything last night, will you?

Liu Wen began to recall, and at this moment, the simple door "creaked" open.

"Woke up? Niece-in-law. ”

"What?"

Liu Wen saw that it was Yang Guang, and hurriedly got up and saluted, and at the same time vaguely remembered:

After drinking too much last night, Yang Guang said that he wanted to marry Concubine Xiao's niece to him, and when he drank too much, he asked, "Is it beautiful?" Yang Guang said that the niece was a national beauty, and then he held his hand and kept calling his uncle.

Mai! Ga!

That's not a dream!

Looking at Liu Wenwu's self-effacing expression, Yang Guang said with a smile: "It seems that you have all remembered, rest assured, my niece definitely has the appearance of a closed moon and a shy flower, if you are not at ease, this time Jiankang City is broken, I will pick two peerless beauties to be your concubines." ”

Liu Wen heard Yang Guang's intention to win over, and now that Yang Guang has not even become the prince, he has a lot of political capital to make with him.

Because he was familiar with Yang Guang, Liu Wen was not afraid, he took his hand, as if he was afraid that he would regret it, and said cheekily: "Thank you, uncle." ”

"Hahahaha......" Yang Guangxiao pointed at Liu Wen, "You kid, you are not big, you are really in a hurry!" ”

……

Nan Chen is on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and there are also many spies. As soon as the army of the Sui Dynasty started, the news was carefully explored by the Southern Dynasty, and the urgent documents were sent to Jiankang like snowflakes.

But Chen Shubao's reused Wenchen are all sour talents who whitewash the peace and like to drink and compose poems, and before these news reached Chen Shubao's ears, they were suppressed by Prime Minister Jiang Zong and Shangshu Kong Fan.

Although Chen Shubao is mediocre, he has a strong sense of family.

It was almost the New Year, and he felt that the army would not come over, so he asked his two sons, who were guarding in Jiangzhou and Southern Xuzhou, to lead the navy back to Jiankang for the holiday.

But he didn't know that Yang Jun, the marshal of the Western Road of the Sui Dynasty, had already deposed Xiao Cong, the queen of the Western Liang, and was ready to cross the river from the Jiangxia generation.

The 18th year of Emperor Kaihuang of Sui (598 AD)

The first day of the first month.

The battle for the unification of the Sui Dynasty in this world has finally begun.

Yang Guang, Gao Gong, He Ruobi, Han Baohu and other Great Sui magnates, taking advantage of the festival of the Southern Dynasty, each led a soldier and horses, from Guangling, Liuhe, Lujiang three places, the army was divided into six ways to force the Yangtze River.

In only two days, all the defenders on the south bank were swept away, and the six-way army turned again, forming a joint village, and only waiting for the grain and grass to arrive, and then a decisive battle with the Chen army.

At this time, Empress Chen was still enjoying himself in Linchun Pavilion.

A few concubines together, listening to small songs and drinking wine, the days are not at ease!

Now in the Southern Dynasty, there are signs of Wu Yuehua.

And the demon concubine Zhang Lihua is not only talented and intelligent, but also good at pretending to be a god and a ghost in prayer witchcraft, gathering many witches, adapting music and dance, and often dancing and praying in this palace.

The previously very elegant music has been adapted by Zhang Lihua and incorporated into the drum music of Nanban Wuzhu, which to some people hears, it is a kind of glamorous sound with signs of decay.

But Chen Shubao is good at this.

The point is that those witches dare to show it, isn't that exciting?

Just when Uncle Chen was happy, the hussar general Xiao Maha led several generals to break into the palace.

"Bold!" The eunuch beside Chen Shubao shouted, "Xiao Maha! You led someone to break into the forbidden palace, and you can't rebel! ”

"Humph!"

Xiao Maha was a brave and warlike tiger general, and when he glared, he was immediately frightened and the eunuch shrank to the side.

"Your Majesty! The Sui army has already crossed the river in three ways, and if it doesn't fight the enemy again, it's too late to regret it! ”

"What did you say!" Chen Shubao's voice was frightened.

"Your Majesty~~~" Zhang Lihua shouted in a glutinous voice: "The concubine has divined yesterday, as long as Your Majesty is guarding in the city, several generals are responding outside the city, and the army of the Northern Dynasty will be dragged together, and after a while, they will not have enough food and grass, and when the rainy season comes, they will definitely retreat." When the time comes, we will fight back against the Northern Expedition-" Zhang Lihua's slender jade hand made a bewitching grasping action, "Isn't that easy?" ”

"Hahaha, good!" Chen Shubao laughed heartily, as if he saw a glorious victory, "Concubine Ai, you are really my female Zhuge ! ”

Immediately, Chen Shubao ordered:

Sent the hussar general Xiao Maha, the escort general Fan Yi, the leader of the central army Lu Guangda, the assassin Shi Fan Meng of Southern Yuzhou, and the scattered cavalry Chang Shi Gao Wenjuan, each leading an army and going out of the city to resist the Sui soldiers.

Although there were many loyal generals in the Southern Dynasties, there were no talented people and no wise men. Otherwise, with Zhang Lihua's clumsy plan, can you still do it?

What's even more bloody is that on the second day of Xiao Maha's expedition, Chen Shubao summoned Xiao Maha's family into the palace to reward him in order to boost morale......
