Yang Zhengdao didn't have much confidence in Xiao Wufu.

But to refuse, a little hesitant.

Without him, this Xiao Wuwu is indeed a fierce general, and he is a rare fierce general, rejecting him, Yang Zhengdao really doesn't know who he can use.

What's more, this Xiao useless identity is not simple.

He is the nephew of the Empress Dowager Xiao, and this Empress Dowager Xiao is the queen of Emperor Yang of Sui, who is only in her forties this year.

And today's Empress Dowager Xiao has a very lofty status in the Later Sui Dynasty, even Yang Zhengdao, and she has to give him a little thin face.

Xiao Wufu is the person of the Empress Dowager Xiao, if you don't use it, the Empress Dowager is not easy to explain.

When Yang Zhengdao hesitated, many people in the DPRK and China had already begun to support Xiao Fu.

In the end, Xiao Wuwu still has some power in the court, and as soon as these people support him, Yang Zhengdao will not be able to refuse.

After thinking about it, it can only be so.

"Since Xiao Aiqing is willing to lead the troops, then I will give you 20,000 soldiers and horses, and you will guard Huanglong City."

"Whoa!"

After Yang Zhengdao finished saying this, Han Guang, the prime minister of the DPRK and China, suddenly stood up again.

"Saint, General Xiao's defense of Huanglong City is one thing, but we can't all count on General Xiao to guard Huanglong City, I think that we should also send people to contact the Turks as soon as possible, with the help of the Turks, my Hou Sui will be safer."

When Han Guang said this, Xiao Wufu immediately pursed his lips: "Lord Han, what do you mean by this, look down on me Xiao Wufu?" ”

Han Guangdao: "No, I just think I should be prepared with both hands." ”

Xiao Wufu smiled: "That Turk won't even save Luo Yi, he will save our Hou Sui, it's better to rely on no one than on your own, with me Xiao Wuwu, then the Tang army can't break through Huanglong City." ”

"General Xiao's bravery, we all know, but it's better to be cautious, our Hou Sui is not as good as Youzhou Luo Yi, our relationship with the Turks is quite good, the Turks will not help Luo Yi, but they will definitely help us Hou Sui."

Han Guang can't offend Xiao useless, but he will still say what he should say.

When Xiao Wufu wanted to say something more, Yang Zhengdao interrupted him.

"Han Aiqing is reasonable, I only have forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses in the Sui Dynasty, and then defend the city separately, the troops are even more scattered, if there is Turkic help, it is natural to resist the Tang army, send people to the Turks, and ask the Turks to send troops."

After Yang Zhengdao finished saying this, the matter was settled, and no matter how unhappy Xiao Wuwu was, there was no way at all.

After retiring from the dynasty, Xiao Wufu was a little indignant, but Han Guang was the prime minister in the end, even if his identity was not ordinary, he didn't dare to do anything with the prime minister, so he could only swallow this breath into his stomach.

Moreover, he still had to gather troops and horses to go to Huanglong City, and he didn't have time to trouble Han Guang, so he had to give up.

And just after retiring from the dynasty, as soon as Yang Zhengdao sat down in the imperial study, a eunuch hurriedly ran over: "Holy Lord, Concubine Chen asks to see you." ”

Hearing Concubine Chen's request to see him, Yang Zhengdao was a little surprised.

This Concubine Chen is Chen Yu'er, the concubine of Emperor Yang of Sui, but she is in her thirties, and back then, it was she and Empress Dowager Xiao who had already protected him from danger with Yuan Ziyi.

So in addition to ascending the throne, Yang Zhengdao is not good to these women.

And Concubine Chen is even more liked by Yang Zhengdao, because this Concubine Chen has a ability, which Yang Zhengdao appreciates very much, that is, this Concubine Chen can lead troops to fight, and she has trained a women's army of 2,000 people.

As the name suggests, this women's army is all women.

But don't look at the fact that they are all women, their combat ability is no worse than that of men.

In the entire Later Sui, no one dared to provoke them, and no one dared to despise the Women's Army.

Concubine Chen wanted to see her, Yang Zhengdao was really a little strange, but he quickly ordered the eunuch to call Chen Yu'er in.

Chen Yuer is in her thirties, she looks as beautiful as a flower, but she is good at men's clothes, and when she came to see Yang Zhengdao today, she wore men's clothes, and the whole person looked very heroic.

"Why did Concubine Chen suddenly come here?" After Chen Yuer came in, Yang Zhengdao asked curiously.

Chen Yu'er said: "Holy Lord, I heard that Qin Tian of the Tang Dynasty led soldiers and horses to attack my Hou Sui? ”

Yang Zhengdao nodded: "Yes, after Qin Tian destroyed Luo Yi, he was a little arrogant, and he actually wanted to destroy my Hou Sui." ”

Chen Yu'er didn't say anything about this, but continued to ask: "The Holy Lord is ready to let Xiao Wufu lead the troops?" ”

Chen Yuer's question was direct, and her tone was cold, she has always been such a person, some are high-minded, some are arrogant, which makes it difficult for people to get close to, and she is also a little disdainful of many people.

In her opinion, if a man is not even as good as him, he naturally does not deserve his respect.

Yang Zhengdao smiled bitterly: "General Xiao Mao recommended himself, he is indeed my Later Sui General, not letting him go, it's really a bit unreasonable, I agreed." ”

Chen Yu'er smiled: "The saint really can afford this Xiao useless, he is just a little braver, when it comes to fighting, he can't do it at all, then Qin Tian can destroy Luo Yi in such a short time, do you think that with Xiao Wu's ability, he can be Qin Tian's opponent?" ”

Speaking of this, Chen Yu'er paused for a moment before continuing: "Xiao's useless ability, the saint is not unclear. ”

Yang Zhengdao smiled bitterly again, he was indeed very bitter, he knew what it was, with the Empress Dowager Xiao here, there was nothing he could do.

Of course, Yang Zhengdao also knew that when Chen Yuer said this, firstly, he really didn't look down on Xiao Wuyun, and secondly, he didn't deal with the Empress Dowager Xiao.

Although it was indeed their women who rescued him back then, when Emperor Yang of Sui was still there, these concubines competed with Empress Xiao for favor, and later established Hou Sui here, and several women were not idle.

They all want to compete for some power, so many things are not used to each other, in comparison, Yuan Ziyi is the most indifferent person among these concubines.

Of course, although Yuan Ziyi is also the woman of Emperor Yang of Sui, she has no name, she was only responsible for helping Emperor Yang of Sui watch the stars before.

Now that Chen Yuer is like this, Yang Zhengdao is really a little overwhelmed.

After thinking for a long time, he finally spoke: "What does the concubine mean?" ”

Chen Yu'er said: "This Xiao is useless to guard Huanglong City, it is simply a misunderstanding of the country, please allow me to take the women's army to Huanglong City." ”

"This ...... I'm afraid it's not appropriate to remove Xiao Wufu. ”

"It's not appropriate to withdraw, then don't withdraw, I just need the women's army to go to Huanglong City, and Xiao Wufu will listen to my orders."

This is similar to not saying, but it is indeed a way, Yang Zhengdao thought about it and nodded: "Then I will bother the concubine." ”
