After 3 days of sea turbulence, Yang Er and his entourage finally arrived at the Hejian Fu Wharf in Jizhou. As early as the Jizhou Thorn Shiyu Culture, Ling Jing, the chief bookkeeper, and Xue Wanche, the leading general of the river, greeted Yang Er and others on the shore of the wharf.

As soon as he sat down in the lobby of the Hejian Mansion, Yu Wenhua presented the letter that had just come from the capital.

"Oh? The Turkic Shabalu Khan personally led 100,000 troops south to attack Wuyuan City, and the imperial court sent an additional veteran general Pei Renji to lead an army of 30,000 to the north to support Wuyuan City. Yang Er said to himself with a solemn face, and then put the letter in his hand on the desk.

"My lord, according to the information sent back by our military intelligence department from Wuyuan City, at present, Sun Sheng, the commander of the Wuyuan garrison, originally garrisoned 30,000 troops in Wuyuan Border City, even if Pei Guogong's 30,000 horses arrive some time later, he can still hold Wuyuan City." Yu Wenhua and saw that Yang Er was in thought, so he reminded him.

"Changsun Sheng is a famous general of our dynasty, the attack and defense are well-founded, the Turkic soldiers are only 100,000 people, and it is not easy to break through the pass city defense of General Changsun. But ----" Yang Er stopped thinking about it halfway through, and then continued: "However, the Turkic troops this time behaved strangely and unusually, I am afraid that they were instigated!" And the people behind this are the most difficult to prevent. ”

All the civil and military officers in the hall couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard Yang Er's words, and whispered about the people behind the scenes that Yang Er said.

"Isn't the lord Mo suspicious that the person behind this scene is Yang Su's generation? I heard that my emperor has been in poor health for a while now, isn't it that the princelings want to take advantage of the fire here and plot against him? Yu Wenhua said softly with his hand stroking his beard. Everyone was silent when they heard this, and listened to Yang Er's judgment.

"Lord Yuwen, the lower officials think that it is not instigated by the princelings, and it is most likely that Li Yuan of Jinyang is behind it, and it can be seen that the Turkic army does not enter the south from Li Yuan's territory!" Ling Jing followed Yu Wenhua's guess and said his judgment, and Yang Er couldn't help but nod in agreement when he heard it.

"What Lord Ling said is reasonable, although this king and that Li Yuan have not torn their faces, they have been constantly rubbing back and forth. He kidnapped tens of thousands of people in my Hedong, and this king also occupied his Changzhi County. This king is afraid that General Changsun can prevent the attack of the Turkic army, and he can't prevent the plot of Li Yuan, Jinyang, and Tang army. Yang Er said, got up and walked back and forth in front of the desk with his head down, and kept folding the fan in his hand and slapping it in his hand. When the people saw that he was taking the long exam, they stopped bothering him.

"This time the country is in trouble, as a prince, this king can't ignore it! The imperial court can resist the 60,000 troops of the Turks as a regular army, and the king wants to send a force to attack the Turks for the surprise army. ”

"My lord, the border between the Jin army and the Turks in Hedong is only the northern foot of Taihang Mountain, and the mountain is treacherous and there is no way out! If the troops out of Luzhou are bound to pass through Li Yuan's territory, how can he take the road from me to the east of the river, and hope that the lord will think twice. Yu Wenhua suddenly got up and said

"Huh! What kind of strange soldier is it if you borrow Jinyang? This king wants to take advantage of the Daoyan Realm and go out of the Yin Mountain to directly attack the Turkic Har and Lin Ya Tent! ”

"Huh? The lord's trip is a detour and no less than 2,000 miles! Is it too thrilling? If the way back is intercepted, there is a risk that the whole army will be wiped out! After listening to Yang Er's idea, Yu Wenhua was also shocked, and hurriedly admonished. Ling Jing on the side looked thoughtful, and even nodded slightly.

"Lord, Ling Jing grew up in the north since he was a child, and he is quite familiar with the Yanyun area of Yinshan Mountain, if he is not obstructed by Luo Yi, the king of Beiping, along the way, Xia Guan knows that a small road in Yinshan can lead directly to the desert outside the mountain." Ling Jing got up and said after thinking about it.

"In fact, after this strange army appeared in the grassland desert, it could make a big noise, and its intention was not to attack its tooth tent city, but to encircle Wei and save Zhao, as long as the Turks went south to attack the enemy of our Wuyuan retreated." After Yang Er finished saying his intentions, he looked at everyone, and Yu Wenhua also smiled and nodded in agreement at this time.

"It is inconvenient for this king to stay here for a long time, tomorrow he will go north to Fanyang, this strange soldier must be the white horse of General Wu Yunzhao, tomorrow Mr. Ling Jing and this king will go to Fanyang City together."

After discussing the military, Yang Er went on to ask a lot of Jizhou government affairs, Yu Wenhua and other corresponding civil officials also told the truth, Yang Er is still more satisfied with Yu Culture and Jizhou under the governance of this time, after all, he has solved the biggest talent problem for him, in order to effectively govern the land of Jizhou, the Royal Academy in Hedong has almost used up the thousands of imperial examination scholars who have fallen this year, and now the academy is studying students from all over the world who are admiring to study, Yang Er is very satisfied with this virtuous circle. This is almost under the guise of a government-run school to gather promising students in the world under his wings, which solves the problem of the shortage of reserve officials in his territory.

Early the next morning, Yang Er and his entourage bid farewell to Yu Wenhua and others, and not only took Ling Jing with them, but also temporarily called Xue Wanche to go to Fan Yang together, he was not punctual in Fan Yang Town as Wu Yunzhao replaced his duty of guarding Fan Yang.

Hejian Mansion is only more than 200 miles away from Fanyang, and because it is all plain roads, Yang Er and his party arrived in less than two days. Wu Yunzhao and other generals stationed in Fanyang City received Yang Er's and his entourage 10 miles away from the city and welcomed them into the city.

"Lord, the last general has left the capital, a show what he has learned in his life, and he has fought a lot of battles in large and small battles, and he came to this Fan Yang to prevent the king of Beiping, he Luo Yijiu Zhen Zhuo County, is the founding father of my dynasty, highly respected, how can he fight? At this time, I was idle, so it was better to transfer a certain person to Weicheng to exchange with my brother Tianxi, so that the lord could go to fight Tang Bi. After Wu Yunzhao led Yang Er and the others to the Shuai Mansion to sit down, he began to complain loudly, obviously the continuous victories made him start to be a little squeamish. Of course, at this time, he has the capital to be proud, looking at the Great Sui Dynasty, there are too few people who can fight with him at this time, so Li Xiaosi and Pei Sangongzi are still in elementary school! Now 14-year-old Luo Cheng still has the strength to fight him.

"Huh! Brother Yunzhao! Have you ever heard of the Turkic invasion? Yang Er took a sip of tea and asked Wu Yunzhao, who was heroic, with a smile.

"My lord, how can the last general not know? But Yun Zhao is now the guard general of Fanyang County, and he can only watch General Changsun make meritorious contributions, in vain! Wu Yunzhao looked at Yang Er with wide eyes and replied, not knowing why he wanted to ask about it.

"General Yunzhao, you don't know that this time the Turkic army invaded our Wuyuan area in the south, and Li Yuan of Jinyang did not send reinforcements to reinforce it, let alone attack its flank to relieve the pressure of the enemy besieging our Wuyuan. This king does not expect that the five original will be lost in February, and then our dynasty will retreat to Shuofang and Lingwu two counties, if the two counties are lost again, the capital will be in danger! After Yang Er's words, the Shuai Mansion was silent, and all of them were heavy.

"As a prince, how can this king stand by and watch? Therefore, I want to ask General Yunzhao to personally lead Baimayi, so as to cross the remaining veins of Taihang Mountain through Pingcheng, go out of Yin Mountain and attack the depths of the desert, and follow the Han Dynasty's Huo Hussar to drive 2,000 miles to stir up the Turkic rear, coerce its Har and Lin Ya tent, and force Sha Boluo Khan to retreat from Wuyuan City. I wonder if the general has the courage to fight? After Yang Er finished speaking, he looked at Wu Yunzhao.

Wu Yunzhao listened to Yang Eryi's strategic deployment, and after a little thought, he laughed and said: "I remember that when the lord asked the last general to form the White Horse Yicong, he said that our army was originally used to carry out beheading for thousands of miles, and last winter, our troops raided Tuyuhun King City for thousands of miles, and changed the battlefield situation in one fell swoop, which can be described as a complete victory. This time is nothing more than a thousand miles of land, the difficult place is nothing more than when I climb over the Yin Mountain, the Yin Mountain will be a flat river, and the vast grassland will be galloped by me, isn't it happy? After that, I saw Wu Yunzhao stand up and salute deeply: "Please give an order to the lord, and the last general is willing to lead his headquarters to sweep the desert and urge the Turks to retreat and return." ”

"Brother Yunzhao, although this is to sweep the rear of the Turks, there are no less than 100 scattered tribes on its way to the tooth tent, and it is extremely dangerous if it is dragged and trapped in it. The general is not going to break his tooth tent, but to bluff and besiege Wei to save Zhao! Along the way, the Turkic tribes should fight if they can, and avoid them to avoid being entangled by them. Yang Er said earnestly, so as not to make Wu Yunzhao strong for a while.

"Don't worry! Yun Zhao is not a brave and unscrupulous person. is scheduled to put on a big show in the rear of the Turks, and I don't believe that he will not withdraw his troops to help. ”

"Hmmm! Okay, this king has arranged for you to accompany you on this trip. After speaking, he turned around and brought Ling Jing to Wu Yunzhao, and introduced: "General Yunzhao, this is Mr. Ling Jing, he can be your guide and adviser along the way, if the general has any doubts, he can discuss with Mr. Ling." It is advisable to ensure the safety of the husband. ”

Wu Yun summoned Yang Er to say this, hurriedly got up and saluted Ling Jing, and said, "Don't worry, the lord is that the last general will definitely protect Mr. Ling." ”

"You have 50,000 horses here, only need to divide 20,000 to attack, this is a long way, but one person has 3 horses, this king sent Hu'er and Zuo Tiancheng two generals to accompany you as your deputy general. When you go, you will temporarily hand over to General Xue Wanche, and General Xue will temporarily guard Fanyang on your behalf. ”

After Yang Er's words were finished, several of the generals mentioned came out and promised in unison.

After two days of preparation, Wu Yunzhao had selected 20,000 elites from his 50,000 deployments, most of whom were veterans who had participated in the attack on Tuyuhun and Fuya City to behead Murong Danyu. These veterans are very good at running and fighting, they are very experienced, and their equipment is also the best in the Jin army, in addition to the standard armor, helmets, shields, lances, horizontal knives and crossbows, each person is also equipped with ten sky-bombing grenades in his saddle bag, which is the only one among all Yang Er's troops.

"There are 3 horses per person, one of which is specially designed to carry the supply of a soldier, and the individual soldier's rations must be brought more to ensure that they are used for 40 days. Minimize casualties, and never melee combat with crossbow arrows. When he returned, he did not want the gold or silver he had seized, nor the cattle or horses, but he wanted to capture as many Turkic people as he could, and if he could, he would not kill them. Yang Er whispered to Wu Yunzhao and Ling Jing beside him. The two nodded in agreement.

On the third day, when the sky was bright, the neatly arranged 20,000 white horse elites galloped out of the north gate and galloped away in the northwest direction under the gaze of Yang Er and others. The shock brought by 1 man and 3 horses made the earth tremble.

Back in the study room of the temporary camp of the Shuai Mansion, Yang Er looked at the map on the table, with a lot of thoughts, looking at the vast land in the north, and couldn't calm down for a long time. The Yanyun area close to Fanyang City is the territory of Luo Yi, the king of Beiping, because there is the Yin Mountain and the remaining veins of the northern foot of the Taihang Mountain in the east-west direction, the Turks can hardly climb over to attack, Luo Yi's heavy troops are mainly facing the Xi, Khitan and Goryeo in the northeast. The so-called eighteen states of Yanyun to the west of Zhuo County have not yet appeared on the map, and only the names of a few states exist. This vast area known as the Yanyun Eighteen Prefectures hundreds of years later was still in the undeveloped stage, and Luo Yi had very few troops stationed in this area.

"Brother, but sighing? But why? Chuchen saw Yang Er habitually looking at the map on the side, and he didn't feel strange, but he heard Yang Er's sigh and couldn't help asking.

Wang Dai, who was reading a book on the side of the bookcase, couldn't help but look up at Yang Er. This time he detoured back to Beijing, Yang Er obtained the consent of Wang Dai's parents and brother and took Wang Dai back to Beijing together, and traveled for more than half a year.

"It's a pity that the population of our Great Sui is declining, and there are still large areas of uninhabited land in my own territory that need to be developed urgently, not to mention the broader area in the north. Even if it can be used for its own use, there is a lack of people to develop and survive. How can this make my brother not sigh! Yang Er looked at Lake Baikal in the desert like a crescent moon and sighed very emotionally, the largest inland lake in China in later generations was Qinghai Lake, but compared with Lake Baikal, it was like the ratio of the moon to the sun, and the small one could not be looked at directly.

"If the husband becomes the emperor in the future, he can encourage childbirth! In the Han Dynasty, the system of marriage for women thirteen years old can revitalize the population. In less than 20 years, the population of the Great Sui will surely double. Wang Dai has read a lot of books and has some knowledge, so she accosted.

"Sister Dai! If the husband inherits the throne, the first decree promulgated is the marriage law, which encourages childbearing, but emphasizes eugenics, and the legal age of marriage is 17 for women and 18 for men. ”

Why is that? 13 And when you are married to the age of 17, you can raise at least 2 or 3 children. This is the way to increase the population quickly! Wang Dai asked puzzled.

"Sister Dai, if you are a big-boned woman like you, of course you can be born early. If they are all like the body of the dust sister, the early birth of a child is not good for the mother's health. He has not yet grown, and it is very easy to have a difficult birth and die. At the age of 17, the bones of the body will grow and mature, even if you give birth to a child, you will be more energetic, and there will be no dystocia. At that time, you can have one a year, and there is no danger in giving birth to ten or eight. You say yes, right? ”

"Sister Dai, go out for a walk with my little sister, don't listen to him full of foul words anymore, I will be like a sow if I listen to it again." When he saw Yang Er comparing himself, he immediately blushed, meditated unintentionally, got up and went to pull Wang Dai out, and no longer paid attention to Yang Er.

Seeing the two daughters fleeing in a hurry hand in hand, Yang Er was speechless. The heart said: If the atmosphere is not civilized, scientific knowledge will not be heard!

Suddenly, he noticed that Abeyi, who had been by his side, had not left, and looked at her slightly blushing cheeks.

Yang Er suddenly said: "Xiao Yi, are you also 13-year-old children there!" Why don't you give birth to a brother and give it a try? ”
