Chapter 363: Save Some Face

Yang Chong only felt that the text was catchy to read, and the words were gorgeous, as for the content, Yang Chong disdained it, and the Tang Book gave Yang Guangding the notoriety of Emperor Yang of Sui, but many people in later generations changed their perspective and cried out for Emperor Yang of Sui. Yang Chong read it once and put it on the desk, Fang Xuanling praised: "Good article, from now on, the rebel has a high-sounding reason, this ancestor Junyan has a good literary talent, not under Yu Xuan and Wei Yi." Ming Gong, like you said, the time is almost up. ”

Fang Xuanling called Yang Chongming Gong, he was convinced, although the Hexi Army had gone through hardships and dangers in recent years, but under Yang Chong's insistence every step of the way, there was no mistake. Now for Hexi, the situation is very good, even if Li Mi conquered Luoyang, there is still no stable rear, in the land of four wars, there is Dou Jiande in the north, Du Fuwei in the south, the Sui army in Guanzhong and Jiangdu in the east and west, and the threat of Lu Mingyue, Zhu Can and others.

Yang Chong said calmly, "Don't worry, it's not yet a node." When the Wei Festival arrives tomorrow, let's feast all the envoys first, so that people can't think that we are missing etiquette. ”

Fang Xuanling and Ling Jing nodded almost at the same time, since Yang Chong began to prepare for going east, Dou Jiande, Lu Mingyue, Liu Miaowang, Li Hong, and Xue Ju all sent people to discuss alliances, some came to purchase armor and war horses, and some came to discuss trade; Dou Jiande's envoy Cao Zhan, Lu Mingyue's envoy Song Shimo, like Li Zhang, were stationed in Hexi for almost a long time, and all of them were placed in Camel City by Kou Jiuhui.

On Zhangye's side, there are the envoy of the Western Turks, Ashina Niyi, the envoy of the Vo Yating, the envoy Tele Rehan, the envoy of Xue Yantuo, the envoy of Xue Yantuo, the Bodhisattva, the envoy of Kangguo, Abu, Khotan, Qiuzi, Shiguo and other nine countries in the Western Regions in Zhangye and caravans to deliver news, all waiting for Yang Chong's choice. At this point, everyone knows that Yang Chong's decision will change the ownership of the world and affect the territory of the Central Plains and the Western Regions.

Kou Jiuhui nodded and said, "I have already informed Camel City, and the eldest grandson Wunai will accompany Cao Zhan and them over." ”

Yang Chong's eyes were bright, and he said with a smile: "Before sending out the army, these things should be all done, the banquet will be set in the governor's mansion, and those who have family members can bring their family members to attend, and then prepare some gifts, once some soldiers go on the expedition, it will take at least a few years to meet their families, and now every inch of time is worth cherishing." ”

Although Zhangye has a palace of Yang Guang, Yang Chong has always left it empty, even the palace of Fuqu Mengxun in Camel City, Yang Chong is locked up, never entered, the governor's mansion is the most noble place in Zhangye. As a modern person, Yang Chong likes to meditate in addition to meditation, and the palace seems too gloomy in crowded places, but in the eyes of Fang Xuanling and others, this is a manifestation of Yang Chong's failure to exceed the rules and abide by the rules. Fang Xuanling and the three of them agreed, and went out to prepare.

The people who received the invitation were either very strange or very excited, when Yang Chong and Jiang Fei arrived, they were the last, fortunately, the famous characters were all on the stage, and no one dared to blame; Du Yan and Qi Bige laughed when they saw Yang Chong and his wife, Yang Chong's fear of guilt was too powerful, just because Jiang Fei attended, there was no singing and dancing at the dinner. On the contrary, Li Xiyu and Fang Xuanling's wife Lu Meng agreed very much, if there is a place to watch singing and dancing, the official banquet is for everyone to meet and talk about things.

Yang Chong saw Lu Meng for the first time, Lu Meng was beautiful and generous, and at first glance she was a well-informed woman; After sitting down, Jiang Fei asked in a low voice, "What bad idea are you going to come up with?" ”

Yang Chong actually imagined Li Shimin very much, gave Fang Xuanling two concubines, to see if Lu Meng was like the Hedong lion roar recorded in the history books, and finally drank a pot of vinegar, but looking at Jiang Fei, he still dispelled this idea, if Jiang Fei thought that he still wanted to accept a concubine, but just tried Fang Xuanling, it would be greatly impossible. Yang Chong said softly: "We have overlooked one thing, we should use Fang Xuanling to pull Fan Yang Lu Shi over, Lu Meng's coming to Zhangye is actually a signal." ”

After Fang Xuanling's father Fang Yanqian died in Jingyang County, Lu Meng brought the family to Zhangye, and there were many obstructions from all sides, but Fanyang Lu's family settled everything, and it was Lu's convoy that sent Fang's people to Hexi. Jiang Fei dissuaded: "This matter can't be rushed, if Fang Xuanling thinks it's okay, he will definitely take the initiative to remind you, if you force it, it will give Fang Xuanling a feeling of despising him personally." ”

Jiang Fei's vision in this regard was really good, and Yang Chong immediately realized that his thoughts were too jumpy; Wei Yi is the master of ceremonies today, seeing the arrival of the guests and hosts, announcing the beginning of the banquet. Wei Yi could guess that the core of today's banquet was to reveal the news that Yang Chong was preparing to send troops, and as for what way to use, Wei Yi was also very curious. Lu Mingyue's envoy, Song Shimo, was a burly and strong man, with quick eyes and hands, and he took the lead in the queue and stepped forward to toast Yang Chong and his wife.

Song Shimo was originally a hero, who once led 30,000 people alone to defeat Langya County, and later was defeated and took refuge in Lu Mingyue, serving as the chief of the Supreme Army, and was sent by Lu Mingyue to contact Yang Chong. Lu Mingyue claimed to be a giant of the Mo family, and he also had some wisdom, knowing that Yang Chong's materials could not be delivered to the supreme army that was still in guerrilla warfare, Lu Mingyue hoped that Yang Chong would be able to provide strategies and intelligence for the sake of being a believer in the Mo family.

Song Shimo came for less than a month, and saw the strength of Hexi and the wisdom of Yang Chong Group, so he resolutely abandoned the dark and turned to the light, but the time had not yet come, and he did not announce it to the public. Song Shimo finished toasting and said, "The Supreme King has just sent news that he has reached an agreement with Zhu Can, the king of Garuda, to go to Nanyang to rendezvous. ”

Yang Chong had already read the information, drank a glass of wine and said: "The Supreme King is in a hurry, Zhu Can is a cannibal demon king, there has always been only interests and no faith, Wang Shichong's 40,000 Sui army is near Nanyang, the Supreme Army is in danger, tomorrow General Song will come to the governor's mansion, let's discuss it." ”

The two of them did not avoid anyone as they spoke, and the people at the nearby tables listened really well and understood that this was a signal. It turned out that even if Yang Chong made any moves, he would do it in secret, and today he invited a group of rebel envoys into the governor's mansion to openly discuss the matter of the rebels fighting against the Sui army, indicating that Yang Chong was going to do it.

All eyes were on Wei Jie; In Zhangye, except for Yang Chong, Wei Jie, the deputy chief officer, has the largest official position, and Wei Jie is a member of the Jingzhao Wei family, and the important ministers sent by the imperial court, both public and private, cannot but express their positions, and silence is recognition. Wei Jie is very clear about his situation, and Yang Chong lifted the veil while talking and laughing, just to not completely turn his face, no matter whether he goes or stays, save a little face and meet in the future.
