---After all, Yang Yong was influenced by Emperor Wen, and he was unwilling to collude with foreigners in his bones, not to mention driving the Turks into the land of the Great Sui to cause chaos, which was bound to bear infamy.

"Your Majesty, be cautious in luring the Turks in! As the saying goes, "It's easy to invite God and it's hard to send God", and it will be difficult to deal with a Li Yuan at that time, let alone a Turk. Su Xiaoci, the old waiter of the military department, saw Yang Yong's hesitation, so he reminded.

"Su Aiqing's words are exactly what I am worried about, the Turkic country is strong, and it originally coveted my Great Sui, if the door is opened this time to let him in, I am afraid it will not be the best policy. Even if my father was alive, he would never have done this. Yang Yong said that this basically vetoed the practice of bringing Kou into the interior to contain Yang Guang.

"Your Majesty, the old man heard that Li Yuan of Jinyang took advantage of the chaotic war in the Central Plains to expand his strength, and a rebel army in the Central Plains went to vote for him, and now Li Yuan's intentions are not small. If he is allowed to send troops south, he is afraid that the Hedong County, which originally belonged to him, will not be enough for him. Yang Su said again.

"Hmmm! Uncle Huang is right. Unless the entire county of Hedong that originally belonged to him is returned, supplemented by the land of Hetao, which he values, Li Yuan will inevitably send troops. Yang Yong said affirmatively, paused slightly, and then said suddenly: "Message: Li Yuan of Jinyang sent troops south to contain the people of the King of Jin, and when the soldiers of the King of Jin retreated, I will return Hedong County and Changzhi County in full, and then seal the land of Hetao to him." ”

"Your Majesty, if Li Yuan's troops move, how can the Northern Turks not move? When there is a plan, it is the right one. "It is still Su Xiaoci, the squire of the military department, who is entangled in this external Turk, and it is also his sensitivity as the head of the Great Sui Army.

"Tang Gong is not a generation of you and me, if I agree to send troops to Hedong, I will definitely guard against the Turks. Let's leave it at that! The military department is prepared according to my intentions. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Su Xiaoci saw that Yang Yong had made up his mind, so he had to follow the order.

The end of the Central Plains War was like the end of a big play. Jinyang Li Yuan, who was watching this drama coldly from the outside world, watched with surging blood. almost wanted to discuss with his hundreds of officials about going south to attack Jin, but they were persuaded by Pei Lin and other calm ministers. But when he learned that Yang Yong, the new emperor of the Great Sui, had provoked the Jin King's million-strong army to enter Beijing and force the palace because of his improper position, he could no longer control the idea of raising troops to take advantage of the chaos to get a piece of the pie. On this day, he summoned hundreds of civil and military officials to the palace to discuss the matter of sending troops.

"Tang Gong, if I, Jinyang, send troops to attack Hedong, then Yang Su's plan will also be! Although Hedong County is not large, it is the place where Yang Guang, the king of Jin, started. Let's not talk about whether we can take it, but if we use troops, we will completely break the relationship of peaceful coexistence between Jinyang and Hedong. Yang Guang is now powerful, and he is afraid that I will have no peace in Jinyang! Shangshu Pei Lin still did not agree with the strategy of sending troops south. As a major member of the people's livelihood construction in Jinyang, he knew the importance of Hedong's opening of trade routes to Jinyang, and once the war started, this lifeline connecting the interior would be interrupted, and it would be difficult to obtain grain, salt and other people's biological resources from the Central Plains. Riskily offending King Jin, the gains outweigh the losses. Therefore, he resolutely opposed the sending of troops to the south.

"Pei Shangshu is bad! Several times in a row, I Jinyang was calculated by Yang Guang, and I was ashamed in the army. Now, the relationship between my Jinyang and the Turks is acceptable, presumably the Turks will not come to attack my Jinyang, so that the rear is stable, and we can go all out to try to the east of the river. Besides, my Jinyang army is not a few months ago, and now it is proficient in drilling, just waiting for a battle. General Liu Hongji shouted, now the Jinyang Tang Army in his hands has reached 350,000, plus the Central Plains heroes from all walks of life to vote, it can be said that the soldiers are broad, so there is a confidence in the war.

"Hmmm! General Hongji is right, after raising troops for a long time, you need to fight. Besides, this duke is still the prince of the Great Sui Dynasty, the new emperor has a holy decree yesterday, to send troops to contain the king of Jin, if you don't send troops is to resist the decree, Yu Gong and private Bengong are not willing to be enemies with the Sui court, this soldier seems to have to come out. Li Yuan said softly, and handed a roll of silk silk on the table to Pei Lin beside him.

"Huh? Tang Gong: It seems that Yang Yongwei has made enough money to urge me Jinyang to send troops south this time! Not only promised me Jinyang to recover the two counties of Hedong and Changzhi, but also sealed the rich Hetao land to my Jinyang. But even so, the intention of this official is still to send no troops. How can Yang Guang, the king of Jin, get along well? He not only won the Central Plains War, occupied most of the Sui territory, but also had more than one million troops. The kings of the Central Plains can't win against him, how can I shake it with the power of my Jinyang Mansion! Alas! Pei Lin handed back the silk decree in his hand to Li Yuan, and said helplessly with a sad face.

"Tang Gong, this is Yang Su's plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf! Think about it in the long run. Tang Jian, the squire of the military department, also said worriedly, obviously his attitude was the same as Pei Lian.

"Don't you obey the will of the court? This is tantamount to rebellion! This ---" Seeing that the civil officials tended to not fight, the university scholar Wen Daya couldn't help but remind.

"Sichang, what do you think?" Li Yuan turned his head to look at Chai Shao and asked.

"Father-in-law, yesterday the son-in-law argued with Sanyuan Li Jing and Xu Maogong about the pros and cons of the war, and the son-in-law went back and forth to Hedong the most times, and he knew a lot about the strength of Hedong. Even when Yang Guang fought with the kings of the Central Plains, his troops in the northeast of the river were not mobilized at all. From this point of view, Yang Guang has long had the heart to guard against my Jinyang. Looking at the surroundings of Jinyang, in addition to the need to guard against Turkic attacks in the north, there are Yang Guang's heavy troops in the east, west, and south eyeing my Jinyang. Even if I send troops to Jinyang, should I retreat his men first? Furthermore, as Mr. Pei said, once I become an enemy with Hedong, I will be left alone in the north of the Great Sui, and the Central Plains will be cut off, how can this battle be fought? But Sanyuan Li Jing has the opposite conclusion, and the son-in-law feels that Li Jing's words are insightful, far beyond the son-in-law's comparison! Chai Shao shook his head as he spoke, as if he was in an extreme contradiction.

"Oh? What did Li Jing say? Where is Li Jing? Li Yuan asked.

"Lord, Li Jing is here." As he spoke, Li Jing turned from behind a large group of Wenchen to Li Yuan, and bowed his hand in response.

"Listening to what Si Chang said, the pharmacist is the main battle, and you can try to say a thing or two about the main battle reason."

"My lord, it is not the words of the subordinate officials to advocate a war, Xu Ji, Wei Zheng and others all advocate a war with the King of Jin."

As soon as Li Jing's words came out, all the civil and military in the palace couldn't help but talk about it, some nodded and some shook their heads.

"Good! Then ask the pharmacist to solve the doubts of the hundred officials! ”

"My lord, which of the two is more powerful now, Yang Yong and Yang Guang? Yang Guanggang, the king of Jin, pacified the Central Plains and collected his troops, and his troops had already exceeded one million. The new emperor Yang Yong's soldiers in the capital are only 150,000, and the soldiers of King Qin are no more than 400,000, and these soldiers who rushed into battle have no experience in battle, so they are by no means the elite opponents of King Jin. Therefore, Yang Yong will lose in the battle for the throne of Eryang, and it is only a matter of time before Yang Guang ascends to the throne. The lord thinks about it, if Yang Guang takes the throne, what does he want to do the most? ”

"What?" Li Yuan asked reflexively. The civil and military officials also asked each other: "Yes! What was the first thing Yang Guang would do after he ascended the throne? ”

"After Yang Guang ascended the throne and became emperor, he will definitely send troops to destroy Jinyang!" Li Jing said loudly.

Seeing that Li Yuan was still groaning, and the hundred officials also had a lot of disbelief, he continued: "The vassal kings of the Great Sui are all destroyed, how can you let me live alone in Jinyang?" ”

"Hmmm! Good! It makes sense. Li Yuan exclaimed.

"Xuan Zhen (Pei Lianzi), after listening to the words of the pharmacist, do you still have the idea of living in a corner and having no quarrel with the world?"

"Alas! The pharmacist's words are like seeing the sun, no matter whether I Jinyang fights or makes peace, I can't escape the Bingfeng of Yang Guang, the king of Jin, in the end. Originally, I thought that if he entered the Wenhe Palace, he would go south to conquer the Chen State, but now I see that Jinyang is far more dangerous than the Chen State. Fight with all your might! Pei Lin shook his head and said helplessly.

"Duke Tang, if this battle is inevitable, Xia Guan is willing to recommend Sanyuan Li Jing as the commander of the Tang Army in Jinyang, and Xu Ji and Wei Zheng as the main and deputy military divisions of the army." Tang Jian, the squire of the military department, made a recommendation.

"Good! That Bengong was ordered to send troops to Hedong to conquer the king of Jin. According to the recommendation of Maoyue (Tang Jianzi), Li Jing was ordered to be the commander-in-chief, Xu Ji and Wei Zheng were the military advisors, and 250,000 troops were ordered to send troops after three days. ”

"We will obey Tang Gong's orders." Li Jing, Xu and Wei went out to respond, and then took over the troop transfer tiger talisman from Li Yuan.

The news of the Jinyang military movement had already been carefully made by the Military Intelligence Department, and the overnight horse rushed to Luzhou, Hedong to report to Liu Wenjing, and when passing through Huo County, he also reported the general of the Huo County defenders, Ding Yanping, with two guns. After Ding Yanping learned the news of the imminent attack of the Tang army in Jinyang, he also mobilized all the soldiers and horses in the city, closed the city gate to block the road leading to Jinyang, and at the same time sent people to inform the Jin army in Puxian, Jiexiu and Yanmen Pass to prepare for the enemy attack.

After receiving the early warning, Luo Song, the big knife of Pu County, also closed the city gate like Huo County, cutting off another official road to Jinyang.

The two generals Xiongkuohai and Jinhuan, who were stationed in Xiucheng on the south bank of the Fen River in Changzhi County, made military arrangements to cross the river to counterattack Jinyang, and at the same time urged Guyuan and Shangdang in the rear to go to the border to rest and transport grain. The two generals of Guyuan City, Pu Guzhong and Fei Tianxi, personally led 20,000 troops and escorted 100,000 stone grain to the realm to rest and help the battle.

Xue Wanchun, the general of the Jin army stationed at Yanmen Pass, also entered a state of combat readiness, preparing to lead 80,000 elites from his headquarters to attack the east of Jinyang, and contain Li Yuan's southward army from the flank and rear.

Judging from the entire military situation, Li Yuan's Tang Army was already facing an extremely unfavorable situation before the battle. The four armies of the Jin army in the east of the river surrounded the southeast and southeast sides of Jinyang in the shape of a half-moon, while the Yellow River was located in the west.

In the face of such a war situation, in the past two days, Li Jing, Xu Maogong, and Wei Zheng have been discussing the best strategy for sending troops, and Chai Shao has also been on the side from time to time. 8-year-old Li Shimin listened and watched quietly beside several people, like a little adult, and sometimes said his seemingly childish thoughts, which made several people laugh.

Liu Wenjing, the commander of the Luzhou Military Intelligence Department, who received the news, hurriedly came to see Sima Pei Shiju in Hedong.

"Duke Pei, the lord is far away in Luoyang, if you wait for the lord to make a decision, it will be too late! When we use our existing troops in Hedong to block Li Yuan's southward movement, we can launch a counterattack after the victorious army returns to Hedong. Liu Wenjing pointed to the huge map on the wall and said.

"Hmmm! Not bad. He Li Yuan went south to the Tang army of only 250,000, and he was close to the army of the country. The total number of Jin troops in the two counties of Hedong and Changzhi is not below it, and there are good generals, so they can fight. Pei Shiju said coldly.

"It's a pity that there are only 50,000 people left in my Luzhou Chinese army camp, and Li Jing's 100,000 army has not yet been built, so I went to besiege the capital with the lord's western army. The strength of the Chinese army in Luzhou is much thinner. ”

"Mr. Zhaoxing is right! If the front line comes to ask for reinforcements, I can only sing the empty city plan in Luzhou! Hehe! ”

"The only plan for today is to quickly transfer the little white ape Hou Jun of Zezhou to rush to the aid of my Luzhou, and guard Pingyang with General Zhai Rang to serve as a barrier to the north of my Luzhou."

"Good! Since the victory in the Central Plains, Zezhou has no reason to garrison heavy troops, and it can be deployed to defend Luzhou. The old man then ordered to transfer Hou Junji over. ”

Subsequently, the two high-ranking Hedong ministers made a slight change in the deployment of military forces, and when they saw that it was foolproof, they dispersed.

At this time, the million-strong army of the Jin army's westward expedition had already arrived at Tongguan, and the follow-up baggage grain team had only arrived at Hangu Pass. The scale of this march far exceeded the momentum of the Central Plains anti-king attack on Tongguan not long ago.

Yu Wenhua and Li Jing, Wu Yunzhao and other generals entered the customs to visit Yang Lin, the king of the backers. Master Shang and apprentice have long been familiar with Li Jing, Wu Yunzhao and other generals, although the two parties belong to different parties, but they have long been one family.

"Old prince, now that the kings of the Central Plains are dead, all the state capitals of the Central Plains have returned to my lord King Jin. This Tongguan is not so important. Hehe! Yu Wenhua said to Yang Lin with a smile.

"Yes! This Tongguan is now unpreventable and dispensable. It's like an old man, it doesn't matter anymore. Yang Lin had no objection to Yu Wenhua's statement, and stroked his white beard and laughed at himself.

"Lord Wang, the junior has no intention of offending."

"Huh! This king is not to blame, but this Xiongguan has lost the meaning of existence. The old man is also old, and it is time to retire in time. When King Chitose of Jin ascended the throne and became emperor, the old man resigned and went into hiding. ”

"Lord Wang, what do you think of this situation now?"

"Huh! King Jin's million victorious soldiers entered the pass through my Tongguan, like a thunderbolt sweeping the hole, who dares to compete? If the king's material is good, he only needs to surround the capital, and in no less than three days, the hundred officials in the court will inevitably open the door and surrender. ”

"Huh! Borrow the auspicious words of the old prince. The juniors seem to have come too easily. ”

Yu Wenhua said that, all the generals in the Shuai Mansion laughed, and their expressions were relaxed. Only Yang Lin's two generals, Shang Shifu and Xin Wenli, seemed to be unwilling.

After Yu Wenhua and the generals left, Master Shang took Xin Wenli to see Yang Lin.

"What? Yu Wenhua said that this Tongguan is useless, and you two don't want to guard the pass here? ”

"No, Lord Wang. As long as the prince is here for a day, the two of us will not leave the prince's side, but ---"

"Just what? General Shang can be blunt. ”

"Lord Wang, this time is different from fighting against the king! The prince can see the demeanor of Yu Wenhua and his generals, this time King Jin will definitely win back his throne, they all have the merit of following the dragon! Wouldn't this make me wait on the sidelines, waiting only for the sake of envy! I also want to take advantage of this to make some credit, don't you say, prince? ”

"Huh! I think that this king used a pair of imprisoned dragon sticks to defeat the eighty-one states of the Great Sui and helped his brother Yang Jian to become the emperor, how could he not know this from the dragon's work? That's it! The two of you are good at martial arts, even if you are a general in the Jin Dynasty's army, this king will let you two lead 20,000 soldiers each, follow Nayu culture and go to the capital, so you have some credit. There is no more war here, it is enough to leave 10,000 old soldiers here for this king, go! ”

"Thank you Lord Wang!" Master Shang and Xin Wenli listened to Yang Lin's words, and couldn't help but feel ecstasy, and hurriedly bowed their hands.
