It is not surprising to arrange for the children of the clan to enter the martial arts cultivation, and it is also not surprising to arrange two companions for them.

For example, when Yang Jiong was studying martial arts, Yang Wu arranged for him to be Wang Maozhang's son Wang Xing and Zhou Ben's youngest son Zhou Hongzuo.

The companions arranged for Yang Wu's other younger brothers are also after the old one, plus the earliest Liu Renzhen and Cheng Zong, it can be said that they are basically the old places.

What made Yang Jiong feel strange was that the two people who arranged for Yang Yan, Lin Renzhao and Bian Hao, were from extremely ordinary backgrounds.

Among them, Lin Renzhao's brother once served as a low-level officer under Wang Xianzhi, and later surrendered to the Wu army and was incorporated into the Youzhen National Army, and is currently just a commander; And Bian Ho was born in an ordinary family in Jinling City.

Such two people are not considered to be the queen of Xun Lao in any case, so Yang Jiong felt that his father was dissatisfied with Yang Yan, so he arranged it like this.

Yang Yan smiled and said: "Brother Prince, rest assured, the two younger brothers over there and Lin Renzhao have already met each other, they are both extremely outstanding people, and they should become great in the future, and they will not even be worse than Liu Renzhen and Cheng Zong." ”

"You don't have to be worse than Liu Renzhen? How old are those two, can you see if they can achieve anything in the future? Yang Jiongwan laughed.

Cheng Zong and Liu Renzhen both grew up in the palace and were highly valued by Yang Wu.

Now of the two, Cheng Zong is currently serving as a commander in Yang Wu's Yulin Army; And Liu Renzhen performed even better, although he is only twenty years old now, he is already the commander of the forbidden army.

At the age of twenty, it is impossible to achieve the position of commander of the forbidden army without practical ability and sufficient merit.

After all, the Yulin Army is Yang Wu's pro-army, and the most important thing is loyalty, so as long as it is someone Yang Wu trusts, it is not a strange thing to basically directly serve as the commander.

But in the forbidden army, it is not so simple to be a commander.

Liu Renzhen became the commander of the forbidden army at the age of twenty, although this was due to Yang Wu's special promotion, but it was also because of his establishment that he made a lot of contributions.

The first time he personally went to the battlefield was in Luzhou in Nanyang, when the city of Luzhou had just been built, the population was sparse, and the garrison army was even smaller, only Liu Renzhen led a battalion of 500 people.

Originally, according to the plan, the follow-up army would arrive with the ship in a short time, but due to the hurricane, the follow-up army could not arrive in time.

At this time, the local aborigines rebelled, gathered an army of nearly 10,000 people to attack the city of Luzhou, and surrounded Luzhou, and the defenders in the city were all pale, thinking that the major events were over.

After all, no matter how good the Wu army is, but the number of troops is too small, and Luzhou is newly built, the city wall is low, and there are not many arrows and other materials in reserve, how can it be blocked in the face of the siege of tens of thousands of people?

But Liu Renzhen, who was only a battalion commander at the time, blocked it, not only holding on until the final reinforcements arrived, but also cooperating with the reinforcements to launch a counterattack after the reinforcements arrived, and finally defeated the indigenous army.

Although an important reason for this miraculous battle example is that the natives are too stupid to know how to siege the city, and the army is only a rabble, if it is not for Liu Renzhen's calm response and calm command, it is impossible to hold out until the reinforcements arrive.

So after that battle, Liu Renzhen became famous in the army, and Yang Wu immediately promoted him to the head of the capital, in charge of a thousand forbidden troops; Later, he made some contributions one after another, and only then became the commander of the forbidden army at the age of twenty.

This rapid promotion, although it is enviable, but because he has real merits, and he grew up in the palace, he is Yang Wu's confidant general, so although everyone is envious, no one dares to gossip.

Such a promising general, but now Yang Yan said that Bian Hao and the two can be compared, which naturally makes Yang Jiong hard to believe.

However, Yang Yan looked full of confidence, and he didn't care about his brother's questioning at all, but asked: "Brother Prince, speaking of which, the third brother should also enter the martial arts school, do you know who the two companions that my father is going to arrange for the third brother are?" ”

As soon as Yang Yu was mentioned, Yang Jiong's face suddenly became a little unnatural.

To be honest, Yang Jiong's personality is relatively gentle, and he is extremely friendly to his brothers, but his subordinates can also be called benevolent, which makes Yang Wu extremely satisfied.

However, no matter how gentle his personality is, it doesn't mean that he is easy to bully, after all, he is the crown prince and the prince of a country, and his third brother's ambition is known to the world, which naturally makes him unhappy.

Not only that, Yang Yu's mother Xu's status in the palace has become higher and higher over the years, and I even heard that she is openly and secretly competing with the queen, that is, Yang Jiong's mother Zhou Mengjie, which makes Yang Jiong even more disgusted.

Even if he wants to love his younger brother, he will not have any good feelings towards Yang Yu, at most he will maintain politeness on his face.

"Is the third brother going to enter martial arts? It's not very clear for my brother. Second brother, did you get any news? He asked, pretending to be indifferent.

Obviously, Yang Wu arranged for the princes to enter the martial arts companions, and in the end, he would definitely have a close relationship with them, and even become their own forces.

Yang Wu himself naturally didn't have to worry about this, because his own authority was there, no matter which prince it was, it was impossible to threaten Yang Wu at present, but it was very different for Yang Jiong.

Yang Yan said that after all, this younger brother was low-key and had a good relationship with him, so he didn't think that Yang Yan would threaten his status, but Yang Yu's words, he was a little worried.

Yang Yan said with a smile: "There is no new news about the junior brother, but I heard that Concubine Xu plans to let the son of General Zhu Siqing and the cousin Liu Chongjun be two companions for martial arts training." ”

"Is that them?" Yang Jiong's face suddenly looked a little bad.

He knew that Yang Yan's mother He Yiyi was deeply favored by Yang Wu in the palace, and she was simple and indisputable, so her relationship with other concubines was not bad, and even Concubine Xu also had a good relationship with her, so it was not surprising that Yang Yan could get these news.

But it was precisely because of this that he felt a little worried.

Needless to say, Zhu Siqing is Yang Wu's confidant general, if he can become a classmate with his son, then Zhu Siqing's attitude may be biased towards him in the future; And Liu Chongjun is the son of Liu Rengui, that is, Liu Renzhen's nephew, who is also the queen of the old man.

Yang Yu was already close to Xun Lao, and if he was co-opted by some people by them, he was afraid that those Xun Jiu would really support him at that time.

Thinking of this, Yang Jiong's mood became a little urgent: "It seems that I will pay more attention to Xun Jiu in the future." ”

Just as Yang Jiong wanted to continue to inquire about some things, a guard suddenly came in and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi, His Royal Highness the Second Prince, the king has an order to order the two Highnesses to enter the palace immediately." ”

"Summoned by the Father? Do you know where your father summoned Gu, and who else did your father summon? Yang Jiong's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked.

"The little one only knows that the king will summon the two highnesses in the imperial study, and as for who else has been summoned, this little one doesn't know."

The two nodded, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly changed their clothes, and then rushed to the imperial study.

After arriving, they found that in addition to the two brothers in the imperial study, the third prince Yang Yu and Yang Wu's younger brother Yang Longyan were also there, in addition to Fan Yu and Cheng Xun.

"Well, the main thing my father summoned this time is the clan, I don't know what it's for." Yang Jiong's heart moved, and while thinking in his heart, he saluted Yang Wu and said, "Erchen greets his father." ”

"Well, get up." Yang Wu smiled and nodded to the two of them.

"Okay, now that you're all here, then Lone will go straight to the point." Yang Wu's expression suddenly became serious: "I summoned you and others here today for a major event, which is not only related to the fortunes of our dynasty, but also related to the overall situation of the whole world." ”

"The Battle of the Northern Expedition is about to begin!" He declared with a serious expression.

It's already June now, and according to the time, it can be as short as one month, and as long as two months, when Yang Wu will personally lead the Northern Expedition, and the matter of staying in the rear will naturally be handed over to the people in front of him, so it is necessary to give them a thorough understanding in advance.

"Northern Expedition?" Yang Jiong's expression perked up, "Is the Northern Expedition that my father has been waiting for so long finally start?" ”

"Brother Wang, Brother Wang was thinking about when Brother Wang would go on the Northern Expedition a few years ago, but Brother Wang has not moved, and Brother Wang still thinks that Brother Wang is not planning to go on the Northern Expedition!" Yang Longyan was also a little excited.

"What, don't you feel like you've waited too long?" Yang Wu laughed.

Seven years have passed since the unification of the South. For such a long time, no matter how the situation in the north changed, Wu State has always maintained stability, and did not send troops north because of some changes in the situation in the north, and even Yang Wu did not make a move at such a good opportunity as the Battle of Huliupo, which made many people not understand what time Yang Wu was waiting for.

And now, everything has been revealed, and the time for Yang Wu to wait is now.

"Isn't it a little strange, why did Lone choose to go on the Northern Expedition at this time?" Yang Wu asked with a smile.

"Yes, the child really didn't expect it, and since our army is going to the north, why hasn't the child even received any news?" At this time, Yang Jiong's mood calmed down, and many questions suddenly emerged.

"You didn't expect it, isn't that just right? Thinking about it, whether it was the Liang State or the Jin State, they would not have thought that Lone would launch the Northern Expedition at this time. Yang Wu said in a deep voice.

"As for why you haven't gotten the slightest bit of information, it's normal, and now all the ministries don't know about it except for a few governors. All the preparations were carried out in secret. ”

Yang Wu explained two sentences, and then turned to the topic: "Okay, according to Gu's expectations, the official start of the Northern Expedition should be in July or August, and it will be more than a month from now. At that time, Lone will personally lead the troops to Xuzhou. ”

He looked at Yang Jiong and said with an earnest gaze: "Jiong'er, as the crown prince and the eldest son of Lone, you will be responsible for the matter left behind." When the time comes, the stability of the rear, the transportation of grain, grass and baggage of the army, etc., these need to be properly handled, and you must not let Lone down! ”

"Please also rest assured that the child will do everything in his power to ensure the stability of the rear for his father." Yang Jiong hurriedly agreed.

On the side, Yang Yu pursed his lips, obviously a little unconvinced.

However, no matter how unconvinced he is, he is helpless at this time, after all, he is only a young prince now, and Yang Jiong is the prince who has been in power for many years, and his prestige and status are much higher than him, so it is naturally impossible for this matter to fall on his head.

Then, Yang Wu said to Yang Long: "Second brother, you are an uncle, you will have to worry more about it when the time comes, your nephew is young after all, and you still need to help you in many things." ”

"Brother Wang, don't worry, the prince is smart, and there will be no mistakes." Yang Longyan hurriedly replied.

Now in a blink of an eye, Yang Longyan is also twenty-four years old, and he got married a few years ago, and his wife is the daughter of Gao Miao's family.

Although Yang Longyan had already moved out of the palace to be in the center after he got married, he was Yang Wu's younger brother after all, and Yang Wu grew up, so he was naturally better for him than for other younger brothers.

At the beginning, when the other younger brothers did not have titles, Yang Longyan was already the hereditary king of Hailing; And now although the other younger brothers have titles, their titles still have to be demoted and passed on, and they cannot be hereditary.

In addition, unlike the other younger brothers who are basically idle at home, Yang Longyan has now come out to do things and holds a position in the household department, assisting Luo Zhixiang, the secretary of the household department.

From these aspects, it can be seen that Yang Wu is different from this younger brother.

Fortunately, Yang Longyan's personality is quite calm, and he has not become flamboyant because of Yang Wu's favor, and he has no other ambitions, and he even rarely interacts with civil and military ministers, which is why Yang Wu always trusts him.

After explaining a few words to Yang Long, Yang Wu then looked at Yang Yan and Yang Yu, and said with some hesitation: "As for the two of you, ......"

Yang Yan and Yang Yu were in good spirits, and hurriedly pricked up their ears to listen carefully, wanting to know how Yang Wu would arrange them.

"This Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, Lone will personally lead the troops, and the two of you will also go out with Lone when the time comes, just to see the real battlefield."

"What, we will also go on the expedition with our father?" Yang Yan and the others were surprised and delighted.

In the battle of the Northern Expedition, Wu prepared for so many years, and the soldiers were full of food; However, the Liang side was attacked by the enemy, not only facing the attack of the Wu State, but also the pressure of the Jin army.

It can be said that the success of this Northern Expedition is almost inevitable, especially when Yang Wu personally led the troops, Yang Yan and the others were even more confident.

"It is said that my father is good at using soldiers, since he led the army at the age of sixteen, he has been invincible for so many years, I didn't expect that I would also see my father use soldiers with my own eyes?" The two Yang Yan brothers thought in their hearts at the same time.
