Yang Guang and An Ruoxi were lying side by side on the bed, and then they remembered what An Ruoxi had just said, and turned their heads and asked, "Are you worried that Yuwen Panruo will be bad for you?" ”

An Ruoxi's secret buried deep in his heart was revealed by Yang Guang, and he was silent for a long time before he replied softly: "I have no fate to be a Buddha, and I have already promised the prince, and now I only wish to be with the prince for a long time, and I will never lose each other." I hope that the prince can treat me sincerely, and Ruoxi will be blessed in this life. ”

Yang Guangqing Dou was at the beginning of his life, and he attached great importance to the relationship between him and An Ruoxi in his heart, listening to An Ruoxi's desolate words, his mind was hot, he turned sideways and hugged An Ruoxi, and gently comforted her: "You can relax, even if the sea is dry and rotten, my heart for you remains the same." ”

An Ruoxi was overjoyed, but he was afraid that Yang Guang would say something unfavorable to him next, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to block Yang Guang's mouth, and said with a smile: "I just dreamed of marrying someone else, and at this time I said such things, the men in this world, if you want me to say, there is no one who is not a negative man!" ”

Yang Guang didn't understand the amorous feelings, he was anxious to defend himself, turned over and sat up, and swore to the sky that he would never lose up to her in this life, but An Ruoxi hurriedly followed him to sit up and stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Lord Wang, I'm thinking, why did the princess want to see you in Baidao Prefecture? With her and Yang's holiday, she should have avoided it? Once it was determined that Yuwen Panruo had murderous intentions towards him, An Ruoxi, after some painful struggles, finally made up his mind to stand by Yang Guang and took the initiative to think about the problem for him.

"This question of yours has also been thought of by the Duke of Qi An and the generals of the hussar battalion. Most of them suspect that Yuwen Praruo has a bad heart and is deliberately confusing me, you see? As soon as the topic between the two turned to his trip to Baidaozhou, Yang Guang's hot mind gradually calmed down, and he asked An Ruoxi.

"Lord Wang, according to my understanding of the princess, she will never ignore the deep hatred of the Yuwen clan and fail to repay it. No matter how coquettish she is, the prince must not forget that she is the main opponent that the prince needs to face in Bingzhou. An Ruoxi replied very firmly.

Although Li Che and other generals were also suspicious of Yuwen Panruo's appearance to receive him in Baidaozhou, none of them spoke so thoroughly like An Ruoxi, pointing to the depths of Yuwen Praruo's heart. Yang Guang's heart moved, so he recounted to An Ruoxi in detail about his meeting with Yuwen Panruo in the city of Baidaozhou, and finally asked: "In your opinion, what is the real purpose of Yuwen Praruo taking the initiative to ask me to divert water out of the customs and alleviate the drought in the Turkic territory?" Should I build this canal? ”

"I heard what the prince just said, the Turkic Great Khan took his younger brother Chu Luo's son Dye Gan with him, and left his eldest son Yongyu Lu to guard Baidao Prefecture with Chu Luo, and the princess did not go west with him, right?" An Ruoxi avoided answering Yang Guang's questions, and only cared about the whereabouts of the leaders of the Turkic country.

"That's right, I analyzed, if Yuwen is willing to come forward to see me, it is to convey to me that the main Turkic force is going west this time, it should indeed be a helpless move forced by the drought, and I can't think of a deeper intention." Yang Guang looked at An Ruoxi with burning eyes, hoping to hear a more accurate and clear judgment from her mouth.

"Lord Wang, after my father went north to join the Zhou, he died in battle with the Turks." An Ruoxi replied with a solemn face, "I have heard him say that the Turks have the custom of fighting with their clans, and the princess, as the great Khan of the Turks, should always follow her husband's side, this time not only uncharacteristically left alone in the city of Baidaozhou, but when the prince was invited to the appointment, she also appeared in public and met with the prince, which cannot but be said to be a very unusual move. According to my judgment, the reason why she acted like this was mostly to implement a delaying tactic and stabilize the prince in the east, while in the west, the Turks would definitely make a big move, which would be unfavorable to the Great Sui. ”

"Well, well, if that's the case, how do I deal with that?" Last night outside the city of Baidaozhou, Yang Guang was reminded by the hussar camp generals, although he also vaguely sensed that Yuwen Panruo was deliberately deceiving himself, but he did not know the real purpose of her deception.

An Ruoxi had already pointed out the key point of the problem to Yang Guang, so he was no longer willing to easily open his mouth to give advice to Yang Guang, so he silently helped Yang Guang change his clothes, and reminded softly: "The hour is not early, and the prince should also go to the front meeting room to meet the generals and listen to their opinions." I'm just a prince's maid, and I shouldn't have interfered in the affairs of the court. ”

Under An Ruoxi's reminder, Yang Guang realized in time that the Turks would never give up and live in peace with the Great Sui, so he led Li Che and other generals to return to Bingzhou in the afternoon of the same day, and gathered Taiwanese officials in the meeting hall of the Xingtai Government Office to urgently discuss good strategies to deal with the Turks.

In the two or three days when Yang Guangbei left Yanmen Pass and went to Baidaozhou to make an appointment, Zhang Heng, who was also the secretary of the Hebei Provincial Criminal Department and the Duzhi Department, had already returned to Bingzhou, and brought Yang Guang a good news: he went to the prefectures under the rule of Hebei Province to raise grain, and in less than a month, he collected 100,000 stone of grain from the people for military use.

Yang Guang sat in the hall of the stage, listening to Zhang Heng's uniform, he was pleasantly surprised, but he couldn't help but feel a trace of doubt, so he asked Zhang Heng: "On the day I first arrived in Bingzhou, I heard Wang Servant shoot me in person, and now Hebei Province is facing two major difficulties: no soldiers to recruit and no food to collect. Why did you go out to raise food this time, and it went so smoothly? ”

Zhang Heng smiled faintly and replied, "What the king said is indeed the truth. When he first arrived in the state and took office, he looked through the account books of the states under his rule, and found that since the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed Qi, the Hebei prefectures have become the main supply place of grain in Guanzhong, and in the seven years before the Zhou Dynasty of the Great Sui Dynasty alone, the imperial court has requisitioned as much as 2 million stones and 300,000 horses from the Hebei prefectures. The prince should know that the states under the rule of Hebei Province belong to the old land of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and they have been fishing for many years, which has made the people's grievances boiling, and in order to avoid the rent and tax of the imperial court, the good farming families have been sent to the local Haoyou family, willing to be tenants and slaves, and are unwilling to pay rent and serve for the imperial court, resulting in the dilemma that the states under the rule of Hebei Province have no grain to collect. ”

"What Zhang Shangshu wants to make clear to this king is that the people are not without grain to collect, but the people are unwilling to pay rent?"

"Exactly. It was precisely because the lower officials were aware of this fact in advance, so they adopted the method of taking advantage of the situation to persuade the county wang family in Zhuzhou to raise enough 100,000 stone grains. Zhang Heng replied calmly.

"Oh? This king would like to hear about it. Yang Guang subconsciously leaned forward, stared at Zhang Heng's dark and thin ugly face, and asked.
