In the winter of the 5th year of Kaihuang, the mutual conquest between the towns of the Central Plains Gate Valve Domain disrupted the situation, but this was not a big deal for the Sui Court in the capital, and he didn't care about it.

Due to his gradual old age and poor health, the Sui Emperor did not care about the government, and many reports from the Central Plains gate lords were secretly suppressed by the prince, and the gate lords were allowed to secretly expand their armies and seize land and attack each other.

A Xiongguan in the world--- Tongguan separates the world into two worlds.

A vast Yangtze River runs through the east and west, separating the land of China into north and south.

Unlike the land in the north, which is still cold and snowy, the land in the south of the Yangtze River has entered the warm spring season early, and the trees have grown new shoots, and the earth has gradually had spring.

Let's say that although the queen of Nan Chen is mediocre and ignores the government, he is a versatile lover. spoiled two beauties Zhang Lihua and Kong Guifei, and the daily brocade tent was merry, and the orchestra was boiling. There are two favored ministers Kong Fan and Jiang Zhong at the bottom of the stairs, these two people welcome obedience in every way, only report good things every day, and suppress all the performances of the situation in vain.

On this day, the queen heard the chaos in the Central Plains of Jiangbei, and he was happy to go to the court to listen to the government, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were summoned to the court.

"Zhong Aiqing, I have recently heard that the kings of the Sui court such as Wang Shichong of Luoyang in the Central Plains have been busy expanding their armaments recently, but is there such a thing?"

"Your Majesty, Wang Shichong of Luoyang, Shen Faxing of Yuzhou and other kings have been preparing for the expansion of the army for several months, and now he has hundreds of thousands of men and horses in several places. However, Your Majesty does not need to worry, he is not waiting to expand the army for my Southern Chen Kingdom. Yuan Xian, the servant, went out of the class and said.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have been guarding the river for a long time, and the expansion of the army by Wang Shichong, Shen Faxing and others who listened to it was only to deal with the fact that Yang Guang, the king of the Jin Dynasty of the Sui Dynasty, wanted to repair the canal for the people to cut down the domain, and now all the feudal towns of the Sui Dynasty have objections." Xu Zijian, the general in charge of Jiang Defense, said.

"In this way, I, Chen Guo, don't have to worry about the Sui Dynasty army coming."

"Your Majesty, my Chen Guo not only has no pressure from Jiangfang, but also can wait for the opportunity to send troops to Jiangbei." General Wu Ying, Ren Zhong, responded.

"Huh! All right! However, it is better to watch the tiger fight by the railing, and there is no hurry to send troops. ”

Empress Chen got the result he wanted, and he was immediately overjoyed. I thought to myself, it seems that the ancestral gods are still protecting themselves.

"Your Majesty, now that the opportunity is rare, it is better to take advantage of the Central Plains War, and attack the land north of the Jiangbei in a timely manner, Jianghuai is not far north of my Jiankang, and it is still an unoccupied place of the Sui Court, only the powerful Du Fuwei volunteers are there, and they can be attacked with one blow to serve as a barrier for me to build Kangcheng." Wu Ben General Xiao Moke proposed loudly.

"Okay, let's talk about it again, let's retreat!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty--"

"General, let's look at the development of the current situation and then discuss!" Walking out of the side, Prime Minister Kong Fan stopped Xiao Moke and said.

"Alas! That's fine. Xiao Moke and Ren Zhong saw that the queen had turned to the screen, so they had to sigh before they could speak.

Time seems to have been frozen by the strange cold of this midwinter, and the originally restless gates have all been lying still at this time, as if they are waiting for the long winter to pass.

The Lantern Festival is coming in this oppressive atmosphere.

Wagang Mountain is full of lanterns, and all the red lanterns are hung on the walled city, which is particularly festive and eye-catching in the snow.

Wang Dai, Chuchen and other female dependents are cutting window flowers. Yang Er, Zhong Jian, and Luo Cheng also helped to stick to the window. Originally, Yang Er asked Luo Cheng to take advantage of this calm season to go back to Zhuo County to spend the holiday with his family, but Luo Cheng refused, and the reason given was that Lai Hu'er and Zuo Tiancheng stayed in Liyang to train their troops, and there were not enough generals on the mountain, and he was afraid that Wang Shichong would attack again.

Yang Er saw that he couldn't persuade him anymore, and it would be more lively to have one more person on the mountain. It's just that Liang Shitai is always guarding the gate tower of the walled city at the foot of the mountain, guarding the city gate.

"Okay! It's done, all come to sit down and rest by the fire, today for my brother to continue to tell you about the defeat of Liu Xuande in the Three Kingdoms, Zhao Zilong in order to save Adou Changbanpo in a battle seven in and out this time. Yang Er has nothing to do, especially when the snow covers the mountain, and it is even more boring to go anywhere, so he told these partners about "Three Kingdoms" every day, which is also because of Luo Chengzai, otherwise Yang Er would tell a few girls the mythical story "Fengshen Bang".

"---- said that Zhao Yun rushed out of the encirclement of the Cao army, and met Jian Yong who escaped, Jian Yongdao said that he saw Mrs. Mi holding the little master Adou and still trapped in the Cao army, so he asked the entourage sergeant to protect Jian Yong and others to chase Liu Bei first, and he turned around and entered the siege of the Cao army again to find Mrs. Mi and the little master Adou---- "Yang Er said energetically, several listeners gathered around the fire and listened addictedly, Luo Cheng and Luo Shixin listened without blinking their eyes.

"Alas! Wait a minute, you said that Zhao Zilong killed 50 generals of the Cao army in a row, and the younger brother counted them with his fingers! Why don't you see 50 people? Luo Cheng rarely heard the story of a heroic figure like Zhao Yun, and he couldn't help but use his heart while listening, and he secretly counted in his heart when he heard that Zhao Yun killed him.

"Alas---, virtuous brother don't call this true, some not very famous Cao generals, for the brother will skip it. Wonderful in the back, hehe! Yang Er said perfunctorily, how could he answer the list of 50 generals who were killed in the original book.

"--- Zhao Zilong hugged Adou, covered with blood, physical exhaustion, reluctantly fled to the head of Dangyang Bridge, saw a person on the bridge, leopard eyes ring beads, black robe and black armor, holding a snake spear, recognized it was Liu Bei's third brother Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide, and shouted: Yide save me---- after letting Zhao Yun cross the bridge, Zhang Fei stood alone on the bridge, seeing Cao Cao with 10 tens of thousands of horses and more than 100 generals chasing to the bridge, seeing a fierce general here, he reined in the horse and asked: Who is this? Zhang Liaodao: I heard Yun Chang say that he has a brother Zhang Yide who looks like this. Yes? This is Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide, who are better than Yun Chang? At this moment, I heard the man shouting: Yanren Zhang Yide is here, who dares to fight with a certain ---- saw that a general around Cao Cao shouted, frightened and fell off the horse and died----"

"Zhang Yide is really a hero!" Suddenly, I only heard Luo Cheng scream, which startled Zhong Jian, who was listening attentively, and the sweet potatoes in his hands fell to the ground, and the women couldn't help laughing when they saw it.

"Big --- big brother, if you change --- call you little brother, hehe! I must --- fight with the Yan people--- Zhang. I'm afraid --- I'm afraid he's --- a ball. ”

"Smack!" Zhong Jian's right hand slapped Luo Shixin's head violently, and shouted: "Luo Zi, where are you standing? What benefits did you get from Cao Cao, speak for him. ”

"Hehehe---" Everyone laughed even more.

"Okay, after today's talk, tomorrow I will tell you about Zhuge Liang's envoy to Jiangdong, and the tongue battle group Confucianism once. Sister Dai, it's time to cook Lantern Festival, right? The belly of the husband is hungry. ”

"Sister Dai, you and Xiaoyi go to cook the Lantern Festival, and Xiaomei has to go into the house to record this story, so as not to forget it later." After that, Chuchen got up and turned back to her room, she wanted to record the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" told by her brother word for word, so that she could print it into a book after returning to Luzhou, and now she has recorded a thick book.

Everyone was eating the dumplings served by Wang Dai and Xiao Yi, and they were still quietly discussing the wonderful story of the Three Kingdoms they had just heard.

Yang Er didn't speak, just took a bite of the brown sugar peanut stuffed rice balls made by Wang Dai himself. This is the first time that Wang Dai has used peanuts as a filling at Yang Er's suggestion, but I didn't expect it to be so delicious. There were also two poached eggs in the bowl that no one else had.

"Husband, that Liu Bei was defeated so badly, he can't protect himself, why do you have to take 100,000 people to run for your life?" Wang Dai suddenly asked in a low voice while eating. It seems that this question has been asked to everyone's hearts, and everyone can't help but stop talking, quietly waiting for an answer.

"Oh! Well, how do you say that? If you want to say that this Liu Bei is a hypocrite with hypocrisy and hypocrisy, do you believe it? ”

"Cut ---" Everyone immediately rolled their eyes at Yang Er when they heard this, and then they each ate the rice balls in the bowl.

Just after noon the next day, Lu Zhaolin took Xue Wanche and other generals who were about to go south up the mountain to bid farewell to Yang Er.

"My lord, the southbound Jin army marched Sima Lu Zhaolin and the generals who went south made a special trip up the mountain to bid farewell to the lord." After speaking, he led the generals behind him to bow to Yang Er, who was seated.

"Mr. Lu, generals, please take a seat."

"My lord, the 50,000 required ordnance, grain and grass for the southward army are now complete, and the Luzhou Lecture Hall has allocated 20 young generals to accompany our army, and the morale of the whole army is booming. Lu Zhaolin sat down and got up again.

"Hmmm! This trip to Donghai County is a long way, and the army is already in full bloom by the time of the year, so it is the right time to start tomorrow morning. Remember, after going to Donghai County to meet Qi Donglai's elite soldiers of 50,000 first, don't rush south to Langya County to join forces with Du Fuwei, and wait for the opportunity to die in Gaomi City. This king predicts that the Central Plains will be in chaos at the beginning of spring, and it is very likely that the kings of the Central Plains will jointly send troops to attack me, only then can you wait to go south and join forces with Du Fuwei, and contain the kings from behind to use troops against this king, and only then can you play the banner of this king's Jin army, understand? ”

"My lord, I understand."

"Also, no matter what, Shanyang City must be garrisoned by heavy troops and strong generals, which is the place of the front Nanchen, which has a good deterrent to Nanchen, if there is no deterrence, this king is afraid that Nanchen will take advantage of the Great War in the Central Plains to send troops to the north, and then the scene will be difficult to clean up. Did you write it down? ”

"Yes, my lord, the lower official has written it down. Shanyang City left heavy troops to defend it to ensure the deterrence of Nanchen and prevent him from crossing the river and advancing north. ”

"Good! Nothing else, the specific situation still needs to be dealt with randomly. Everything was discussed with Du Fuwei, Fugongshi and other former Jianghuai generals. ”

"Yes, my lord." Lu Zhaolin and the generals stood up and replied.

When going down the mountain to bid farewell to the generals, Yang Er said to Lu Zhaolin and the others: "You have gone to Jianghuai, and in the future you will be one of the main forces of this king to destroy Nanchen. I might as well reveal to you a little more, at the end of next summer, this king plans to dig a section of the canal from Banzhu to Shanyang to open up the two waterways of Huang and Huai. Therefore, Sanyo cannot afford to lose! ”

"Huh? I don't want the rumors to be true? Wu Bao couldn't help but exclaim in frustration when he heard this.

"What does General Wu Bao have to say?" Yang Er felt that Wu Bao had something to say, and couldn't help asking, and everyone also looked at Wu Bao behind him.

Wu Bao was immediately embarrassed, and hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "My lord, when the last general was still in Luokou City, I often heard the rumors of merchants coming and going to Luoyang, Jinan, saying that the Lord had benefited a lot from the open Guangtong Canal, and he had made ten thousand dollars every day, so he exclusively opened the Yongji Canal, and the canal was addictive. After the Yongji Canal is opened, the canal will be opened in the south of the Yellow River. In the end, I thought it was all rumors, and I didn't want the rumors to be true. ”

"Hehehehehe! It seems that there are many people of insight in the world! can see through the original intention of the king to open the canal. Not bad! A Yongji canal can drive the development of northern regions such as Jizhou, Zhuozhou and Liaodong. However, Huainan and Jiangnan are still places of avoidance, and the reason is nothing more than the fact that the roads are not passable and the river transportation is not smooth. If the two rivers are connected, the land of Jianghuai will be rich and the population will increase. If in the connection of Huaishui and the Yangtze River, then Shanyang can go to Jiangdu on the boat, and then the Jiangdu will go to Yuhang Canal, then I will open up all the water of a canal to the north and south, and then this king will bring a rich and prosperous Jiangnan to the people of the world, and who will dare to say that Jiangnan is a barren land in the future? At that time, the people of the world should enjoy a peaceful and comfortable life, and the Great Sui can last for a long time. You can spread the king's remarks to the world, so that more people of insight can understand the king's intentions, and don't be deceived by rumors. Yang Er disapplauded, and the general confessed.

"Lord, rest assured. The lower officials have their own ways to let the people of the world, especially the scholars, know and understand the intentions of the lord, so as to plug the mouth of the villain. Lu Zhaolin hurriedly replied.

"Good! Today, the king will send the generals here, I hope that all the princes will be sincerely united, Jianghuai is a big world! "Seeing that he has already left the gate of Wagang City, Yang Er said goodbye to the generals here.

"Lord, after the last general and Lao Zuo go to Jianghuai, there will be less guards around the lord, I hope the lord will take care, but there is only one letter if needed, and a certain and Lao Zuo will return." Seeing that the separation was imminent, Laihu'er hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Yang Er's hand and said.

"This time I went to Jianghuai, Mr. Wen Ketuo Lu Zhaolin, Wu is you to protect the two of you and Lao Zuo, although Du Fuwei is a subordinate of this king, but this king does not know much about it, as the saying goes, knowing people and faces do not know their hearts, and it is difficult to draw tigers and skins! Everything needs to be careful, this king is missing you and Lao Zuo here, but there are two Luo on the side, which is enough to be safe. Yang Er pulled Lai Hu'er aside and whispered to him.

"Don't worry, the lord will definitely be good at seeing Du Fuwei and the others, and the last general will go." After saying that, after bowing his hand, he turned around and got on the horse. Zuo Tiancheng on the side was already waiting right away.

Yang Er pulled Lu Zhaolin aside, took off the sword he was wearing, held it with both hands, and said to Lu Zhaolin and to the generals: "Today, this king's sword will be handed over to Mr. Lu, and the generals will listen to the truth: the southbound Jin army and the Jianghuai army are all led by Mr. Lu Zhaolin. ”

Lu Zhaolin was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down on his knees, raised his hands to take the sword from Yang Shuangzhong, and said sharply: "Minister Lu Zhaolin and others have received the grace of the lord, and they will be in charge of the matter, and they will be able to expand the territory for our lord in the troubled times and kill the small people." After that, he got up and saluted again, turned and got on his horse, and beckoned the generals around him to gallop away.

Yang Er watched the generals go away at the gate of the city, until they couldn't see it, and they were still looking at the distance without moving. When Zhong Jian saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward and reminded in a low voice: "Brother Shi, Master Lu is far away, go back to the mountain!" ”

"Oh! Back to the mountain. ”

Return to the summit residence and look out over the railing. In the setting sun, a shining silver belt in the distance is particularly eye-catching, and it is the Yellow River that is gradually being unsealed. In the distance, as far as the eye can see, everything is a vast expanse of snow white, and everything is so peaceful.

Yang Er seemed to see the scene of the excavation site of the Yongji Canal, and saw the people who were working hard and full of desire for tomorrow; I saw a simple woman who was bringing water to her husband; even saw the innocent children beside them with big eyes and red faces; saw Li Chun beckoning the craftsmen to build the last stone slab for an arched bridge; I saw Li Chun with a happy smile on his face. It may also be the only place in the Great Sui world that is full of vitality and hope.

When my mind came back to reality, a month later it was early spring. Yang Er knew that with the start of his southward army, the Central Plains lords who were actively preparing for the war would have to raise things after a winter, what kind of Central Plains war would it be at that time! The 36 anti-kings recorded in the book, will the 72 road smoke and dust really appear in advance? He hasn't ascended the throne yet, let alone built the Eastern Capital and the Northern Expedition to Goryeo! Of course, the requisition of hundreds of thousands or even more than one million people to open the canal was at least 10 years ahead of schedule, did this really move the muscles and bones of the Great Sui and hurt the vitality? Yang Er didn't believe it, and the millions of soldiers in his hands didn't believe it even more!

Yang Er thought of this festival, and his heart suddenly became proud. Suddenly, a song of Xin Qiji's words came to mind, quite imposing, and I couldn't help but read it casually:

"Drunk to pick up the lamp to look at the sword, dream back to blow the horn company camp.

Eight hundred miles under the command, fifty strings turned over the outside sound.

Autumn soldiers on the battlefield. The horse-made Lu was fast, and the bow was like a thunderbolt.

But the king of the world, win the name before and after his death! ”
