Seeing the two brothers sit down and talk, Wang Dai led the virgin to the back room.
"Brother, what a big deal! Why are you making such a big move? The fat man also sent a message to me to go back to the mountain. Brother, I and Li Chun have already smashed out the mines in the river, and there are two kinds of strings, one that pulls the string and one that trips. Let my brother go to the capital and bury one at the door of Yang Su first, and then go to the gate of the prince's mansion to bury one. Something that can be done in minutes. ”
"Oh? Are there any mines? That's a good thing to deal with cavalry! In the future, it will come in handy to fight with foreign tribes. However, this time, the brothers sent heavy troops to deter Chang'an, not only to get back what should be me, but also to use this to establish authority in the world, which is important. Prestige is a good thing! ”
"Isn't that going back to Chang'an City to be the emperor soon?"
"It should be soon, but to be honest, brother, I want to move the capital to Luoyang, this time the Central Plains War, Luoyang is resolved peacefully, and there is no loss. It's just that Chang'an is the capital and it is more convenient to control the Western Regions, which is a good direction for development! ”
"Do you still want to learn from Genghis Khan and go to Europe?"
"I'm not very interested in Europe, but there are abundant oil resources in the Middle East, and if you dig a pipe, you can get oil out, and even if you plan to occupy the Middle East for future generations. There is also the need to go south from Afghanistan to grab India in South Asia. You know that in the later generations, all of them are still like the mentally handicapped who hangs up, which in ancient times the people in that land were not easy to use, they all accepted their fate, and they would not resist, and a few people in the past went to grab that place as easily as a trip in the past. ”
"Alas! It's easy to say, just ride a horse and take a carriage? You have to walk on the road for more than half a year without being depressed to death, and you don't have to occupy it. ”
"Yes! As far as the current weapons and equipment of the foreign vassal countries are concerned, we have completely superiority. Even if it were fought, it would be an asymmetrical war, and it would be far easier to conquer countries than Genghis Khan. It's just that this accounts for the management after it is troublesome. Genghis Khan's Yuan Empire, which occupied half of the world, eventually collapsed because it could not be brought under central management. It seems that roads will need to be built in the future! Have a car! Brother Ma, do you think you can make a steam engine after discussing it with Li Chun? That was the beginning of the modern industrial revolution! Think about it. ”
"I don't understand! My brother and I are a part-time farmer, not an inventor. What steam engine? I've never heard of it, I've never seen it. ”
"Then I'll tell you about it. I have learned the principle of this steam engine, it is not difficult, alas--- what do you run? Haven't you finished talking yet? ”
Li Chun also went up the mountain and went to the artillery camp to see his cannons. He's the master mechanic, tell him what kind of machine you have. Brother, I recently bought a few smart girls waiting to be trained! Having time to build a villain is no better than building that machine for you! ”
"You GRD, why are you so unpursued?" Yang Er looked at the back of Ma Shumou who ran out of the door, and could only laugh and scold.
The news of the new emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty ascending the throne also reached the Chen State in the south of the Yangtze River, which made the Chen State both civil and military agitated. Even Empress Chen, who lingered with Mrs. Zhang and Kong every day and ignored the affairs of the court, got the news, and hurriedly ordered the eunuchs to ring the bell and drum of the day, and rushed to the political hall to prepare for the court after dressing up neatly.
When the hundreds of officials in Jiankang City heard the bells and drums ringing suddenly, they knew that the queen was calling, and they hurriedly put on court clothes and entered the palace council hall.
Hundreds of officials arrived, and after performing the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, the civil and military forces stood on the left and right, and waited for the main instruction.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I hear that Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty is dead, and the new Emperor Yang Yong has ascended the throne. In addition, Yang Guangzheng, the king of the Jin Dynasty of the Sui Dynasty, led the army to conquer the Central Plains and destroy the feudal town, this is a God-given opportunity for my Chen State, I intend to take advantage of the civil strife in the Sui Dynasty to send troops across the river to the north, I don't know what you Aiqing thinks? ”
"Your Majesty, the minister originally had frequent correspondence with Yang Su, the king of Yue in the Sui Dynasty, and half a month ago, Yang Su intended to let our country send troops north to involve the troops of Yang Guang, the king of Jin, so that Yang Guang, the king of Jin, would not easily exterminate the anti-king of the Central Plains. The old minister was afraid of his misfortune, so he suppressed the letter and did not report it. Now the crown prince Yang Yong is the result of Yang Su's single-handed operation, so the cause of the death of Emperor Yang Jian is extremely strange, and the internal means may not be visible. Originally, the throne was regarded as a thing in the bag by Yang Guang, the king of Jin, and he didn't want to be stolen by Yang Yong because of the use of troops abroad, so how could Yang Guang, the king of Jin, take a break? It is inevitable to lead troops to fight. In this way, the civil war of the Sui Dynasty began, and the Central Plains could not be taken care of, at this time, the kings of the Central Plains were all dead, and the states were empty, and it was appropriate to go north to use troops. Minister Kong Fan came out of the class and admonished.
"Hmmm! What the prime minister said is right, it is exactly what I think. Then let's discuss where to cross the river and go north? ”
"Your Majesty, for the sake of safety, we need to take another look. If Yang Guangzhen withdrew his troops from the Central Plains to attack Chang'an to fight for the throne, then he could send troops north. Or when his brothers are defeated, it is not too late to send troops. Yuan Xianjin said, this remark was approved by most of the people in the hall, and Empress Chen couldn't help but nod when he heard it.
"Yuan Aiqing is really an old man's words, and what he said is true. Kong Aiqing can send people across the river to find out the truth of Yang Guangjin's army, if Yang Guang returns to Chang'an, I will pour the whole country's troops north to attack Sui. ”
"Obey."
"Your Majesty, if the Central Plains does not take it for the time being, there is still a reason, but now it is unwise to put Shanyang City, a place in the extreme east of the Sui Dynasty near the sea, and not to take it!" Suddenly, Chen Guoda's general Xu Zijian shouted in the military general class.
"Oh? What does General Zijian mean? Why do you want to take the big city of Jianghuai Shanyang? ”
"Your Majesty, my Chen State now has two cities in Jiangbei, Jiangyang and Jiangdu, our army has no difficulty in crossing the river, if you send troops from this Jiangdu City, you can take advantage of the situation to capture Shanyang City, this city is far away from the Central Plains, there is no need to worry about Yang Guang sending troops to help. Moreover, the Jianghuai army has now surrendered to Yang Guang, the king of Jin, and is attacking the rebels of Tangbi and Lujun in Jinan with all its might, making Jianghuai even more empty, and there are not many defenders in Shanyang, which is a good opportunity to seize the city. ”
"Well---" the Lord listened and thought about it.
"Your Majesty, what the general said is very true, the last general is willing to raise Wu Yue's troops to attack Shanyang, please ask Your Majesty for permission!" The barbarian general Wu Ben General Xiao Moke came out of the class to ask for battle.
"What do you think the general has planned?" The queen was undecided, so he had to ask the hundred officials in the palace again.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the general's words are feasible. The minister had already heard that the defenders of Shanyang City would be the auxiliary stone of the original Jianghuai Caokou, and the defenders did not exceed 20,000, and they were all a group of Jianghuai ringing horses. The soldier of the military department said Jiang Zhong.
"What does the Prime Minister think?"
"Your Majesty, our army has not fought for a long time, and it is possible to train troops in Shanyang City, that Shanyang and the Central Plains are separated by the Great Lakes region, and they are not afraid of the Central Plains Great Sui reinforcements to rescue, and the Jianghuai River is criss-crossed, which is not conducive to the northern cavalry fighting, it can be said that the time and place are favorable and people are occupied by our country, enough to start a war, if you occupy Shanyang City and use it as a springboard, you can map the Central Plains Xuzhou, Surabaya and other places, and the Sui Dynasty will lose the Yangtze River natural danger." In the eyes of the Minister of State Kong Fan, this Shanyang City is far away from the center of the Great Sui Dynasty, but an extremely remote city, originally the Sui Dynasty did not pay attention to this city, so there was the rise of Jianghuai Caokou Du Fuwei and other forces, and robbing this Shanyang City would not have attracted the attention of the Sui Dynasty. Moreover, he also gave an explanation to his old friend Yang Su, and he also sent troops to the north to attack Shanyang City, as for whether Yang Guang can be involved and prevent him from returning to Chang'an, this depends on the will of God.
"Good! I ordered the general Xu Zijian to be the marching marshal, the general Xiao Moke to be the vanguard, and the general Ren Zhong to be the deputy vanguard, and sent 100,000 troops to take Shanyang City at the right time. I am waiting for the good news of the generals. ”
"Your ministers obey the holy commandment." The three generals who read their names and surnames came out together and knelt down to receive the order of the Lord.
Just as the court discussion was about to end, a small eunuch suddenly ran in from outside the hall, hurriedly came behind the queen, whispered a few words into the ear of the queen, and saw that the queen suddenly laughed.
"Zhong Aiqing, I just got a good news, it is rumored that Yang Guang, the king of Jin, is fighting for the throne and is the commander of Yu Culture, and he sent millions of troops with all his might, and the soldiers went to Chang'an. I don't have to worry about it anymore, the army can let go and grab Shanyang City. ”
When the hundreds of officials in the hall heard this, they immediately smiled, and the generals listened to it, and they all rubbed their hands, and they were impatient to shout that they were going to fight Shanyang immediately.
This rare court meeting ended in this happy atmosphere of the monarch and the ministers, and the queen Chen felt that he was refreshed and in good spirits, so he didn't care about anything else, and went straight to the harem to find the second concubine Zhang Kong, preparing to reverse the battle of Luan Feng.
At this time, Tang Bi, who was in Jinan Mansion in Qi County, was holding two completely different secret reports in his hands.
After all, it was the demise of his two brothers and 100,000 troops who followed Wang Shichong's western expedition that made Tang Bi's heart ache even more, and he couldn't help crying, and he couldn't stop scolding Wang Shichong.
"Lord, don't cry and break your body." Chu De spoke on the sidelines.
"Alas! General Chu De, originally thought that more than ten princes of the allied army, more than 500,000 horses to attack Tongguan should be a matter of easy reach, even if the pass is not successful, he can retreat with his whole body, but he doesn't want all the kings to die, and the soldiers and horses are lost! It's only been less than two months! In addition, Luoyang was also taken by Yang Guang, and now the Jin army can attack my Jinan Mansion with all its might. Tang Bi wiped a few turbid tears with his cuffs, and said with a long sigh.
"Lord, don't worry, although my Jinan Mansion is now under attack on the east and west, there are strong cities on both sides to defend and block the enemy, and it is not easy to attack. Besides, the last general heard that there was already civil strife in the Great Sui Dynasty, so the Jin army might truce with my Jinan Mansion. ”
"Oh! Here are the details, but there is good news, the general can see for himself. After speaking, Tang Bi picked up the secret letter from the capital of the Sui Dynasty from the table and handed it to Chu De.
"Huh? Emperor Wen died, and Yang Yong succeeded to the throne. This --- this --- are rumored that Yang Guang, the king of Jin, has coveted the throne for a long time, and all the generals under his command also regard him as the emperor, but Yang Yong occupied the magpie's nest, hehe! How can Yang Guang give up and give up, and he will definitely return to Chang'an City! Good news! Chu De couldn't help but laugh when he read the letter, as if he had suddenly removed his heavy load.
"My lord, general, a good thing! Good thing! Just now, I came to Luoyang City to report, saying that Yang Guang, the king of Jin, had a million soldiers, with Yu Wenhua as the main commander, Wu Yunzhao as the vanguard, and the soldiers entered Chang'an. The two princes of the Great Sui actually fought for the throne. Tang Bi and Chu De looked at it, and it turned out that it was the deputy general Situ Xu who ran in to report the news, and he was still holding an open letter in his hand.
"General Situ, is this true? Bring it to me. Tang Bi's spirit was shocked, and there was no longer the previous decadence, as if the dead fish had returned to the river.
"Good! Good! All right! God help me. That Yang Su Lao'er is worthy of being extremely treacherous, and I waited for the kings to drag Yang Guang here, so that he had no time to look at the emperor's throne, and he took the opportunity to make a move. It's ruthless enough! ”
After Tang Bi stared at the triangular eyes of the spotlight and read the letter, he said fiercely, showing a dissatisfaction in his eyes that was used by Yang Su.
"General Situ is sending a fine work to find out if the Jin army in Yuncheng has retreated?" Chu De calmly instructed his lieutenant general.
"Yes, General, the last general will arrange it." Immediately, Situ Xu bowed his hand to each of them and turned around and went out.
"General Chu, don't slack off, Yang Guang is not a person who does things halfway, this person is extremely ambitious and has the talent of an emperor. I'm afraid it will intensify the attack on my Yuncheng! ”
"Lord, don't think about it so much, in short, the two Yang are fighting, and the civil strife in the Great Sui is already beneficial to my Jinan." Chud comforted.
"Hmmm! The general is right. After speaking, Tang Bi raised his hand and waved it, letting Chu De go by himself. I also got up and walked to the back hall.
Jinyang, the mansion of the Tang Kingdom.
Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang, who got the news of the change of the throne of the Sui Dynasty earlier, was discussing with all the civil and military people in the mansion at this time, including Li Yuan, everyone in the inner mansion was smiling and relaxed.
"Congratulations to Tang Gong, now that Yang Yong has ascended to the throne, then the king of Jin is happy, how can he give up? The dispute between the brothers and the wall will arise, and the number of Great Sui will be exhausted. University scholar Wen Daya stroked his beard and said to Li Yuan with a smile.
"Huh! Yang Yong's support to Yang Su, the king of Yue, should not be underestimated, and Yang Guang, the king of Jin, also has heavy troops outside. Li Yuan said to everyone with a smile.
"Father-in-law, yesterday, fourteen heroes from the rivers and lakes, including my son-in-law's friend Xu Maogong, Wei Zheng, and Shan Xiongxin, came to vote for me in Jinyang, and now I am arranged by my son-in-law to wait in the house for my father-in-law to summon me." Chai Shao's words made everyone feel like icing on the cake and looked at Chai Shao in amazement.
"Sichang, my father has long heard of the good names of this group of heroes, and there should be one named Qin Qiong, who is the most famous person in Shandong, and his martial arts are extraordinary and he can be a general. Other characters also have their own strengths, and he is waiting to vote for me Jinyang like a tiger with wings, so he can wait for the palace to come to the palace together tomorrow morning. ”
"Yes, but ---"
"Oh? Is there anything wrong with Sichang? ”
"Uncle Yuyue, there is no Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao among the fourteen good men who came to vote this time."
"Huh? If Uncle Bao doesn't come, the stars will be dim, which is a pity! ”
"Huh! Tang Gong really has to look at Shu also! Shang Shu Pei Lin laughed and said to Li Yuan, who was particularly unwilling, and Fu Chinese Wu also laughed when he heard this joke. Even Li Yuan couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, if you still have something to say, leave it until tomorrow's government meeting, it's not too late, my prince has several seasonal fruits shipped from the Central Plains, which have been packed for you, and you can go to the side room to pick it up. These are rare in my Jinyang Northland. ”
"I'm waiting to thank Tang Gong!" Everyone was in a happy mood and walked towards the side room with each other.
