(The fourth watch was sent in one go, in order to thank the old brother 'Book Friend 18672397' for his generous support of 50,000 yuan yesterday and the monthly pass.) ）

The place of the Great Sui Emperor, including the Yuan Palace.

With the downfall of a group of officials from a family of gate lords who were mainly a prince (King of Changping) and two Shangshu (Yu Zhongwen, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and Zhou Chengyan, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites), Yang Jian felt that his control over the imperial court had been significantly strengthened, and this was even more evident at the court meeting.

For example, when the issue of assigning officials to the scholars of the middle list was discussed, although the ministers had different opinions during the period, as long as they expressed their ideas very firmly, few ministers raised objections. This made Yang Jian feel very comfortable, and thus he also became more and more grateful and respectful to Wang Junlin who was standing among the ministers.

At this time, Bai Shi hurriedly came in, holding an urgent report in both hands, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Yongzhou is eight hundred miles in an emergency, the king of Tuyuhun Bailan led tens of thousands of troops to loot Xiping County, Ying Yang Lang led Li Chengxiao to lead 20,000 soldiers to take the initiative to attack, and Qingping Valley was defeated by the enemy, losing more than 5,000 people, retreating to the county city, the enemy soldiers surrounded Xiping City, burned and looted outside the city, and more than 20 new villages in Xiping County were destroyed. ”

"Soldiers besiege Xiping City?" Yang Jian opened his mouth and asked, in the big battle last year, King Bailan was defeated and lost the Hexi Corridor and Xiping County, and now he is here to take revenge. Moreover, counting the time that the report was on the road, Xipingcheng didn't know if it was still there.

"Humph! That Li Cheng was a fool, which disappointed me very much, but with the Yongzhou marching commander Yu Juluo here, the situation would not deteriorate. "Since the founding of the country, on average, every year or two, there have been wars at the border passes, although at this time Tuyuhun sent troops to attack, and the side has already suffered defeat, but Yang Jian is not very worried.

"Your Majesty, General Yu is good at the art of war, and the soldiers of Yongzhou Mansion are veterans of a hundred battles, unless there is a lack of food and weapons...... "Han Baohu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, took the lead in saying with a calm face.

Yang Su interrupted him: "Since last year's war, the grain and grass in the official warehouses of the counties of Xiping, Zhangye, Jincheng, Longxi, and Tianshui under Yongzhou have not been replenished, especially the cities and military villages adjacent to Tuyuhun under the jurisdiction of Xiping and Zhangye counties, and the grain, grass and ordnance can only last for two months at most. Your Majesty, the minister thought that the battle of Xiping County should be fought quickly, not for a long time, and to prevent the Tuyuhun soldiers from dividing into two roads and committing Zhangye County. ”

Changsun Sheng shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, according to the minister's opinion, King Bailan has not recovered from last year's defeat, and he should not have the strength to attack my Great Sui in two ways. The key now is to see what the situation on the side of Xiping County will become. If Xiping City is breached before the reinforcements arrive, everything should be put to rest, and the army should be reorganized to fight to avenge the dead soldiers and people. But if you hold Xiping City, you only have to wait another three or five days. The city can't be broken within five days, and with the siege level of the Tuyuhun people, if you want to break the city again, it will take a month or two to say the least. By that time, the reinforcements sent by General Yu must have arrived. ”

Yang Jian nodded and said, "The three Aiqing are all reasonable, but the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, so they should be treated with caution. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Jian glanced at Yang Su, and then fixed his gaze on Wang Junlin, I don't know what I thought, he sighed in his heart, and suddenly said: "Come on, spread my will, Qin Anhou will take charge of Gaotai City again, and restore the rank of General Zhenyuan, so that he will rush back to Zhangye County in Yongzhou and send troops to Tuguhun hinterland." Hum! The barbarian clan of the defeated army also dares to offend my Great Sui repeatedly, and I want them to pay for their blood debts! ”

Yang Jian's decision was unexpected by everyone, Changsun Sheng and Han Baohu glanced at each other, and stopped talking, Yang Su was surprised in his heart, his eyes narrowed, and a thick killing intent flashed away.

"Obey the order!" Wang Junlin's face was expressionless, but in fact, he was stunned and surprised in his heart, he thought that Yang Jian was reluctant to let him leave the capital.

Yang Jian's order spread far away, in addition to Wang Junlin, the party who went out to receive the order, immediately drilled out several eunuchs from all corners of the palace, as well as two officials of the secretary and supervisor, they did not say a word, the eunuchs held jade seals, arrows, and various seals, and the eunuchs holding the yellow silk immediately knelt in front of the secretary Cheng, and the eunuchs next to him handed over the pen and stood aside with ink.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what kind of soldier did Zhenyuan General Wang Junlin use to send Tuguhun hinterland?"

"Let him continue to guard the gateway of Gaotai City for me, and at the same time serve as the general of Zhangye County! Ying Yanglang, the former Zhangye County, transferred Li Fengyun back to the capital, and the Ministry of War arranged another position. ”

The official of the secretary and supervisor took the pen of the dragon and snake, and an edict was immediately drafted, and the eunuch held it to Yang Jian for inspection, Yang Jian wiped out the superfluous nonsense with a big stroke of the pen, and added another sentence, Qin Anhou crusaded against the king of Tuyuhun Bailan!

At the beginning of the year, King Bailan had already sent an envoy to surrender to the Great Sui, and he was indeed a minister of the Great Sui Emperor.

After Yang Jian used his jade seal of the Son of Heaven, he immediately sent a decree to the eunuch to leave the palace to pass the decree.

The civil and military officials of the Great Sui in the palace looked at each other, wondering how the emperor would be willing to send Wang Junlin to the border pass. In fact, Wang Junlin himself didn't understand why Yang Jian, who didn't agree to leave him a few days ago, took the initiative to let him leave the capital today.

……

……

When he returned home that night, he knew that Fang Qiao and other thirteen scholars from the poor family had come, and Wang Junlin didn't care, which was originally expected by himself. These thirteen scholars are a very important move for him to lay out for the future, but not only will they not help him much in the short term, but he will need to put a lot of effort into protecting them.

I will leave the capital tomorrow, and arrange the preparations for Zhanpeng, Shen Guang, and Niu Jinda in the evening, and go to see Yu Zimo, Shen Guoer, this girl is really with her, after nearly three months of treatment, especially after Sun Simiao came, she took care of and recuperated, Yu Zimo's injury recovered quickly, and now she can walk normally as an ordinary person, and even jog, but she can't exercise vigorously, let alone fight with people, unless she rides on a horse and fights with horses.

In the end, Wang Junlin had dinner with Sun Simiao, but unfortunately the latter did not agree to go to Yongzhou with him, but fortunately, Sun Simiao happily told him everything he knew about the inner and outer five gates of the Xianyin Gate, so that Wang Junlin had an overall clear understanding of the so-called Xianyin Gate.

After dinner, I played with the two child-like guys of Lynx Mao Mao and Bloodmaned Horse for a while, and the sky was completely dark, Wang Junlin did not alarm anyone, quietly left the house, passed through half of the capital, climbed over the wall into the Eldest Princess's Mansion, came to the attic in the middle, and climbed through the window to enter.
