Cui Chuzhi and Cui Minshou can hardly stand this kind of torment, Yang Chong, you are the Duke of Yue Guo, and you are the Marshal of the Northwest Road, but there is no need to say it little by little every time, so that people's hearts that have just regained their peace will be brought up again; Besides, Yu Wenhua and the matter are so confidential, I'm afraid that in addition to your Yue Guogong's eyes, you can also find out some news, and others will definitely not know.

As for saying that Yu Wenhua is Li Yuan's ally in Jiangdu, I am afraid that it is not groundless, but also Yang Chong's ulterior motives; If Li Yuan knew about the Jiangdu mutiny, he would never be in such a hurry to let Yang Yu, the king of the dynasty, be Emperor Gong of Sui, and wait for the Jiangdu accident before setting up a new emperor. Cui Yao insisted that the Cui family was not involved in this matter, and they did not know about it, and everything was subject to Yang Chong's arrangement.

After Yang Chong determined the attitude of the Cui family, he slowly said to Cui Minshou: "Li Mi's crisis lies in the return of the Jiangdu army to the west, and the only way for Yu Wenhua to control the army is to take these Guanzhong disciples back to Chang'an, and the hundreds of thousands of Xiaoguo troops plus the barbarian army in Lingnan can dominate the world; Li Mi couldn't withstand the attack from both sides, if he could let Yang Tong be the emperor before the decisive battle, Li Mi might take the initiative to take refuge in Luoyang in order to let Luoyang not send troops. ”

Cui Minshou couldn't help but high-five and admire, as long as Li Mi surrendered nominally, for Dou Jiande, it was no different from Li Mi's defeat, and he could still act according to the plan. Looking at Cui Yao's concerned gaze, Cui Minshou hurriedly said: "Second sister, don't worry, I have decided to follow Yang Chong, your business is my business, and I will never delay." ”

Yang Chong and Jiang Fei immediately judged that Cui Yao was not telling the truth, and the Boling Cui clan had deep roots and leaves, and would not hang themselves from a tree; It should be Cui Yao and the others who have made up their minds, but Yang Chong's father-in-law, Cui Hongsheng, is afraid that they still have other arrangements. Jiang Fei pretended not to know, and said approvingly: "Brother Minshou is a gentleman who promises a thousand gold, and the third lady and I both believe in you." ”

Cui Minshou found that Jiang Fei was indeed very smart, almost not under Yang Chong, and the timing of choosing to speak was very good, Cui Yao and himself were a family, so it was inconvenient to express his position; Jiang Fei's appearance made everything settle, and also avoided the embarrassment that Yang Chong might have if he continued to talk. Cui Minshou thanked him and immediately went back to prepare, Yang Chong told Cui Minshou that when Kou Jiuhui saw him off tomorrow, he would give the letter and gifts to Cui Minshou.

Su Dingfang ran in with a solemn expression and said, Ling Jing, Fang Yanzao, Jiang Duo, Yuan Wei, and Wang Ji are here; It turned out that when Ling Jing questioned the eldest grandson Wuji, he learned from the entourage of the eldest grandson Wuji that Li Yuan had already started in Yongzhou, and sent Yin Kaishan and Liu Wenjing to lead an army of 50,000 to Fengyi County, and cooperated with Wen Dayou to go to Yan'an County to persuade Yang Gongren. Ling Jing was afraid of delaying time, and on the way to Yang Chong's place, he had already notified everyone to meet at Yang Mansion.

After Ling Jing finished speaking, he said respectfully: "It was Li Shimin who sent someone to inform the eldest grandson Wuji, Chen Shuda doesn't know the inside story, and he is an abandoned son of Li Yuan. ”

Yang Chong looked sideways at Jiang Duo and asked, "How long will it take to send troops?" ”

Jiang Duo smiled and said: "Because I am worried about the sudden change in the situation, Lord Fang and I have already started to transfer troops this afternoon, if it is fast, I can lead 20,000 horses to Yanchuan tomorrow." ”

Yang Chong bowed his head and said: "Let Yuwen Chengdu go with you, even if Feng Yijun surrenders, it will take five or six days, and the only thing to worry about is the cavalry raid." In this way, you take Yuwen Chengdu and Luo Shixin first, and Ling Jing and Tang Bi mobilize the infantry army to follow; In addition, Suo Yanshou was notified overnight that he was ready to respond to Yan'an County at any time and allowed him and Yang Gang to dispose of it. Lord Fang, the safety of Shangxian is entrusted to you. ”

Jiang Duo, Fang Yanzao, and Ling Jing each agreed and went to make arrangements; Wang Ji asked: "I have a little friendship with the general Zhang Jin, and I am willing to go to Honghua County to persuade Zhang Jin." ”

Wang Ji acted on behalf of Zuo Changshi, in fact, he did not make an inch, and suppressed everyone with Yang Chong's prestige and achievements, Wang Ji is a person who understands, and knows that whether it is for himself or for Yang Chong, he needs to come up with some dry goods. Yang Chong pondered for a moment and said: "Lord Wang went to see Zhang Jin and asked him to accept the post of Yongzhou Assassin, and the following jurisdiction is over the five counties of Honghua, Anding, Beidi, Pingliang, and Lingwu; Yan'an and Diaoyin are already battlefields and are not suitable for Yongzhou. If he is not willing to sit on one side, he will go to Shangxian to serve as a deputy marshal. ”

This bargaining chip is not low, and at the same time gives Zhang Jin the option of taking a step back, if he is not willing to publicly tear his face with Yang Gongren, he can come to Shangxian. Wang Ji hurriedly asked Yang's family to take out a pen and paper and ask Yang Chong to write a letter and stamp it with a private seal; Wang Ji received the letter, saluted everyone, and left. Yuan Wei reminded at this time: "I'm afraid that only Yang Gang and Suo Yanshou in Yan'an County are not enough, right?" Yang Gang was a little tender, and he might not dare to go against Yang Gongren's intentions. ”

Yang Chong walked to the window and looked out, the sky was dark, there were no stars and moons, only gusts of cool breeze; Yang Chong turned around and said: "Suo Yanshou only has thousands of iron cavalry, it is no problem to fight one or two battles, but if you want to capture Yan'an County, it is still not possible." Cui Siye, the palace master, Yao Yi, and Li Zhengming are all in Yan'an County, Yuan Wuji, Zhuge Jiahui, Duhu Yu, and Li Xiyu are all talents for a while, Qu Tutong and Yao Junsu hold the military power, if Yang Gongren really chooses Li Yuan in the end, I can't help it. ”

Everyone left, Yang Chong returned to Cui Yao's room, after a period of lingering, Yang Chong lay on the bed contentedly, Cui Yao's fingers gently crossed Yang Chong's chest and said: "Xianggong, I feel that you still need to practice martial arts, Jiang Fei said that you are talented, as long as you practice the Yuan family's slash diligently, it is no problem to become a master." In the future, you still have a long way to go, the so-called high places are not cold, and there is kung fu in the body, which is better than no effort. ”

Cui Yao is from the gate, and he is used to seeing political deceit, so he naturally knows the style of people in the political arena who do everything, so when he talked to Jiang Fei, he agreed with Jiang Fei's attitude of asking Yang Chong to practice martial arts; Yang Chong has actually been urged by Zhang Guolao to practice, although he fished for three days and dried the net for two days, Yang Chong was already able to use that true qi to operate, but he lacked actual combat. Yang Chongyan smiled when he heard this: "Tomorrow I will move to the barracks and learn from Jiang Duo every day." ”

Cui Yao saw the man's duplicity, made fun of himself, snatched the quilt, turned around, turned his back to Yang Chong and pretended to be angry to sleep; Yang Chong stretched out his hand and patted Cui Yao's back, saying that he understood, inexplicably recalling the world before the crossing, the kind of days when there were no deep worries.

Yang Chong looked out the window, the stars were dotted, the crescent moon was like a hook, and the sky seemed to have never changed, but it was already two different worlds; There was a rush of footsteps in the courtyard, and Cui Wuniang quickly knocked on the door: "Grandpa Guo, General Jiang is here, there is an urgent military situation." ”
