Chapter 785: Cutting off the beard
"Has Luo Conggong set a date for leaving Chang'an?" Yang Guang listened attentively to Yan Rong's words, and only asked him lightly.
"The last general is scheduled to leave in three days. If the prince agrees to the request of the last general, please ask the prince to issue a general order and transfer Zhou Luoyu to serve under the last general. Yan Rong didn't expect Yang Guang to also beat Zhou Luoyu's idea, so he replied casually.
"Oh well. Since Luo Cong Gonghui has a good eye for good generals, and he took the initiative to recommend Zhou Luoyu to me today, then the king is disrespectful. Yang Guang looked at Yan Rong with a smile and said calmly.
"Lord Wang, what do you mean by this?" Yan Rong stood up, stretched his hands, and asked Yang Guangdao anxiously.
"Don't be in a hurry, sit down and listen to me." Yang Guang waved his hand to signal Yan Rong to sit down, and explained to him, "I have the same mind as Luo Cong Gong, thinking that Zhou Luoyu, as the general of the defeated army, still dares to argue with Song Guogong in court, and is not afraid of life and death, and his slanderous style is indeed admirable. I secretly thought that Zhou Luoyu had been in Jiangnan for more than ten years, and if he went north to Youzhou with you and left the land of Jiangnan, it would be better to transfer him back to Jiangnan to unify the army, and he might be able to play his role better. This king promised you that as long as Zhou Luoyu is loyal to the court, he will not bury his generals, how about it? ”
"Lord Wang, what do you say about the last general?" Yan Rong was so anxious that he stomped his feet, but because of Yang Guangtian's status as the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, he didn't dare to openly rob people with him, spread his hands, and shouted helplessly.
"That's it. You can choose someone else to go to Youzhou with you. As long as it is the one you choose, this king will not hinder it, what is it? Yang Guang almost unreasonably appeased Yan Rongdao.
Yan Rong was intercepted by Yang Guang, and snatched Zhou Luo's throat from him, so angry that he sat in the main hall of the Jin Palace, staring at Yang Guang with a pair of copper bell-like eyes, and couldn't say a word.
Yang Guang saw that Yan Rong was so angry with him, and he was a little reluctant, and was about to persuade him a few more words, when he suddenly saw a sergeant guarding the gate of the mansion coming to report, saying that Zhang Heng had sent someone from Guangling to deliver a letter.
It was only a day or two after he returned to Chang'an, and Zhang Heng sent someone to deliver an emergency military report so quickly. Yang Guang didn't know what was going on in Jiangnan, so he hurriedly persuaded Yan Rong to leave, and ordered the person who came to deliver the letter to meet him in the main hall.
Zhang Heng sent a letter to Yang Guang in Chang'an by one of his cronies, and in order to prevent leakage, only this person brought a message to Yang Guang.
According to this person's report, Li Jing, who Yang Guang sent to invite Master Zhiqi of Tiantai Mountain to Guangling to preach the Dharma before leaving Guangling and returning to Chang'an, disappeared, and Master Zhiqi, together with Li Jing, rushed to the ancestral house of the Gu family in Dongjiao City to find the dust. Zhang Heng did not know much about the cause and effect of Yang Guang's dispatch of Li Jing to eastern Zhejiang, so on the one hand, together with Pei Yun, Yu Wenshu and others, he issued orders to the governments of various prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River to urgently find out the whereabouts of Li Jing and others, and on the other hand, he sent his cronies to Chang'an to report the news to Yang Guangyu.
Yang Guang ordered Yuzan to bring people to rest in the mansion temporarily, and he took Guo Yanjing out of the palace and went straight to Daxing Palace.
In the Linde Hall of Daxing Palace, Yang Jian was receiving Yang Xiu, the king of Shu who had just returned to Chang'an, and was ready to rush to the northwest with Yang Su to conquer the Western Turks. But you must keep in mind that this expedition, Yang Chudao will serve as your long history, and all matters related to the war with the Turks will be under his full command and disposal. ”
Yang Guang since the first year of the emperor and Yang Xiu Chang'an, has not seen him for ten years, today in the Linde Hall at first sight Yang Xiu, almost unrecognizable this brother: although Yang Xiu is not yet as old as a weak crown, but born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, his face is full of pimples, and he is a big man.
"The father's teachings have been written down by the sons and ministers. Please rest assured that when he was in Yizhou, his sons often heard people talk about the story of Yue Guogong leading the sailors to break the Nanchen Water Army, and admired him tightly. Yang Xiu seemed to have become much more well-behaved, and played the right way according to Yang Jian's wishes.
"I've seen your second brother soon. If I had a few more sons like your second brother, I wouldn't have to bother nagging you about these things. Yang Xiu's performance made Yang Jian quite satisfied, so he pointed to Yang Guang and instructed him.
"I've seen the second brother. The younger brother has been in Yizhou all these years, and his ears are full of various deeds about the second brother's forced sand bowl strategy and the destruction of Nanchen, and he is about to go to the second brother's mansion to visit and ask for advice, and he doesn't want to meet the second brother here. The second brother has always been good, and the younger brother has given you a gift. Yang Xiu said with a smile on his face, stepped forward and bowed to Yang Guang to the ground, and gave a deep salute.
Seeing that this brother, who was the most discordant with him many years ago, is now so humble to himself, Yang Guang hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted back: "It is not easy for our brothers to be reunited today after ten years of separation. Ah Xiu, please hurry up, you don't have to be so polite. ”
"I wanted to stay in Chang'an for a few more days, but the military situation is urgent, tomorrow he will go north with Yang Su, I have ordered someone to hold a banquet in Zhengyang Palace tonight, your brother will accompany your mother to have a good time." Yang Jian said happily to his two sons.
"Father, my sons have come to bid you farewell, and I am afraid that I will leave Chang'an today and return to Guangling." In front of Yang Xiu, Yang Guang reported to Yang Jian that Zhang Heng had sent someone to Chang'an to report that he urgently needed to return to Chang'an, presided over the search for the whereabouts of Li Jing and others, and sent someone to recruit Anling to report the details of the barbarians, but did not mention anything related to the East Palace.
"Although the south of the Yangtze River is peaceful at present, the barbarians on the Lingbiao table do not return to the court for a day, and I will not be at ease for a day. Ah Zong, you alone have to preside over the investigation of Wang Shao's assassination in Jiankang, eastern Zhejiang and other places, find out the whereabouts of Li Jing and others, and also take care of the affairs of the barbarians in Zhaoling, I am worried that you will not be able to keep busy. It's better to send an envoy from Chang'an to Lingbiao, with Xian Hua'er and Chen Shubao's Zhao'an letter to Mrs. Xian, to Zhao'an Lingbiao barbarians, you just have to return to Guangling, concentrate on Fusui Jiangnan, and check the remnants of Nan Chen, how about it? Yang Jian listened to Yang Guangyu's reason for coming to resign, and said in a deep voice.
Yang Guang estimated the distance from Chang'an to Lingbiao in his heart, and then suggested to Yang Jian: "Pei Ju, the servant of the ministry, is up to this post, so my father might as well order him to serve as an envoy and go to Lingbiao to recruit the barbarians." At the same time, the ministers were afraid that after the remnants of Nanchen learned the news that the imperial court would release Xian Hua'er back to Lingbiao, they would send someone to assassinate her halfway, and implored his father to send more capable men to escort Pei Ju and his party to Lingbiao. ”
