Chapter 144: Imperial Meeting
Inside the Daxing Palace.
Yang Jian stood in front of the throne with an urgent report in his hand, and ten steps away from him, Cao Gonggong was prostrate on the ground.
"You mean, he's a horse thief?"
"Yes, the saint, when the lord of Dunhuang asked for a reward, he also wanted to envelop him with his official position and money, but unfortunately, the adults of Shangshu Province did not know the details, and only sent him away from the position of General Fubo of the Seven Grades. As for money and treasures, there is no share. ”
Yang Jian walked back and forth a few times, and asked again, "Have you ever seen this person?" ”
"Back to the saint, I've seen it! At the beginning of the decisive battle between the Yongfeng battalion and the central Turkic Apo, Yang Shuang led his troops into the battlefield and snatched the baggage of the two armies. The old slave was concerned about the safety of the border and also participated in the war, reflecting the raging fire that night, and was fortunate to have a glimpse of its face. ”
"Oh?" Yang Jian was overjoyed in his heart, and asked quietly, "How does it look?" ”
"Tall, burly, majestic, not angry!"
Yang Jian was even more happy in his heart, and he was about to ask, but he didn't think that Gonggong Cao continued.
"The most impressive thing about the old slave is not his majestic posture, but the bald head!"
"Bald?" Yang Jian was slightly stunned.
"Yes, a thief's bald head! No matter how noisy and chaotic the battlefield is, as long as he rushes into the battlefield, even if he is hundreds of meters away, he can see where he is at a glance. ”
Thinking of the letter sent by the master some time ago, Father-in-law Cao couldn't help but add, "No matter whether you are or you are enemies, whenever you encounter a bald head on the battlefield, you will all avoid it, for fear of being slapped into a pulp by a shield!" It is rumored that he has a piece of wolf head totem captured from Apo, weighing five hundred catties! ”
"Shhh Yang Jian was shocked, and immediately asked, "Didn't he use the Water and Fire Prison Dragon Stick?!" ”
"Eh, Holy Lord, isn't the Water and Fire Prison Dragon Rod a weapon of His Royal Highness King Wei?" Gonggong Cao blinked, pretending not to know, perhaps, he was the only one in the entire Great Sui who was the most relaxed at the moment.
"Then tell me, what does he use as a soldier?"
"Long knives and battle shields! By the way, he also has a strange cow, three meters high, with a length of feet, the old slave has lived for so long, and he has never seen such a huge mount! ”
Yang Jian couldn't listen to the words behind him, waved his hand at Gonggong Cao, and ordered him to retreat, and then looked at the report in a daze.
"It's Little Five? Not Little Five? ”
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
"Report! Urgent !! ”
What an eventful time!
Yang Jian put the newspaper in his hand on the book case in front of him, and took the letter that Li Yuan presented again.
This time he didn't open it immediately, but closed his eyes and pondered for a long time before he opened them.
Compared with the worried face before, at this moment, the ruler of the Great Sui is full of the aura of a hero.
No matter how difficult it is, how can the great Sui be afraid of the little horse thief!
Fighting the spirit, Yang Jian unfolded the report.
[Yang Shuang of the Sprinkle family, born to raise ·········· 】
【Shi Da······ 】
【Niu Er······ 】
"This... This is? ”
[In addition, there are 50,000 Turkic slaves, 10,000 war horses, cattle and sheep, dedicated to His Majesty the Great Sui Emperor······ 】
Yang Jian's Wang Ba Qi that had just condensed collapsed instantly, and he looked at the report in his hand in disbelief, and his fingers couldn't help but tremble.
As the founder of the dynasty, his goal is not to enjoy the glory and wealth, but to leave a name in history and an emperor through the ages!
In the past, Emperor Qin and Han Wu all expanded their territory, but now he Yang Jian seems to be ······
That's the Western Regions!
If we remove the population and only talk about the national territory, the existing territory of the Great Sui will be doubled!
"Is this urgent report true?"
"Qiqi Sheng, there is also a report from General Zuo Wuwei's Mansion here!"
Yang Jian hurriedly took the letter, looked through it for a long time, and suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled.
Outside the main hall, none of the civil and military officials left.
Either they are talking about war strategy, or they are searching for spare troops.
"Lord Yu, I heard that Xiao Moke entered the southern Xuzhou (now Zhenjiang), I don't know what the situation is in the south?"
"It's not good, the main force of our army is going north, Chen is powerful in the south, and there are Chen Dynasty generals such as Zhen Qing, Ren Mannu, and Lu Guangda stationed in Jingkou, and our side can only defend now." Shang Shu's right servant shot, and Yu Qing, the right Wuhou general, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"In this way, the 50,000 soldiers and horses in the south can no longer move!"
"How is this good, if the military service is increased, the war will not be able to be won for a long time, and the labor force in the Central Plains will be scarce, and this year's spring ploughing will definitely be shelved!" The Ministry of Civil Affairs was worried.
"Fortunately, God bless the Great Sui, the wind and rain have been smooth in the past two years, so that we can accumulate enough grain and grass!" Da Sima Suwei sighed. (equivalent to the Chief of Staff of later generations)
"By the way, some time ago I recruited the Xiaoguo Army, I don't know how the progress is?" Yu Qing looked at Yang Xiong, the general of the Left Guard!
The latter shook his head, "I am a new one, all kinds of waste to be rebuilt, in order to retain labor, non-true warriors cannot enter the Xiaoguo Army, so the selection is still ongoing, so far, there are only 2,000 people in the barracks!" ”
"Haha! Great joy, great joy!! ”
The civil and military officials who were in each other's ears were stunned, and they all looked at the Daxing Palace.
There, there was a middle-aged man, holding two letters high and embracing the sky, looking like he was crazy, laughing wildly.
"Forehead ·····"
Hundreds of people are sluggish, and the emperor is crazy?
"Li Yuan, pass this letter on to all your lords!" Ignoring the strange eyes below, Yang Jian sat on the throne outside the hall refreshed.
"Yes, Holy Lord!" Li Yuan knew that something big must have happened, so he hurriedly picked up the letter in both hands and hurriedly walked down the steps.
Yu Qing, the general of Zuo Wuhou, watched and was dumbfounded.
Yang Xiong, the general of the left guard, gasped.
Da Sima Suwei watched, and couldn't help but rub his eyes and look again.
Shang Shuling, left and right servants watched, stared at each other with round eyes.
"Holy Lord, is this true?" Shangzhuguo Zheng Yi asked.
"Every word is true! Didn't the report of General Zuo Wuwei's Mansion say that Yang Shuang's tribute to me set off from Yumen Pass three months ago, and the distance should be in these two days! Yang Jian sat for a moment, couldn't help the excitement in his heart, and stood up again, "The civil and military forces above the fifth grade enter the palace to discuss the matter, and the rest of you Aiqing, tell the world about this matter for me, and celebrate the whole world!" ”
"Long live my emperor!"
"Long live my emperor!!"
Yang Jian's eyes flashed, especially when he looked at the eyes of the officials at the front, with a lot of indescribable meaning.
What could be more important to a usurper than recognition?
Now that the Western Regions have been enshrined in its entirety, isn't this a sign that I, Yang Jian, have the destiny of heaven and are in ambush in all directions?!
Not a few, in the Daxing Palace.
The ministers still haven't faded away from the heat in their hearts, and they can't help but be excited and continue to talk to each other.
Yang Jian coughed, "Ladies and gentlemen, Yang Shuang, the king of horse thieves in the Western Regions, will come to pay tribute in person in the near future, dare to ask what is the best plan?" ”
Da Sima Suwei came out, "Back to the saint, the old minister thinks that if this Yang Shuang comes in person, I must not slack off with the hundred officials!" Over the years, the Central Plains has been in great war, and it is in urgent need of recuperation, so why not encircle this person and use his elite to go north to the Hetao to block the sand bowl strategy! ”
"Sandpiper and clam fight, fishermen and fishermen are good at profit, but it takes time! The last general thought that it was better to detain Yang Shuang in Beijing and collect all his subordinates, and everything in the Western Regions would be a matter of course! Yang Xiong, the general of the Left Guard, suggested.
"There is truth in what the two adults say, but there are many inaccuracies in it!" The imperial envoy Yang Su suddenly came out of the ranks, "Weichen is willing to meet this person in advance on behalf of the saint, if this person is a reckless man, it is better to follow what Da Sima said!" If this person has the posture of a hero, then he must do what the general of the left guard said! ”
