Before he took up his post as the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, Yang Jun of the Middle Route Army crossed the river to conquer Jiangzhou and won the first victory in the Battle of Chen, which Yang Guang was quite envious of.

He also wanted to go south as soon as possible, but there were too many official duties that needed to be handed over to others, so he could only go into battle lightly and go to the front enemy after the delivery was completed.

The first thing that needs to be handed over is the responsibility of the guards of the Forbidden Palace. Although more than 5,000 members of the "Wild Goose's Nest" were beheaded, because killers with strong martial arts such as Xiao Rushui and Zhang Zhongjian still did not know where to go, for the sake of prudence, when the crown prince Yang Yong resumed taking over the guards of the forbidden palace without the permission of the edict, Yang Guang still insisted on leading people to patrol all parts of the palace every night to prevent the evil ghost from coming to the palace to cause chaos again.

This time, his father Yang Jian ordered Yang Xiong, the king of Guangping, to take over the post of pastor of Yongzhou, and Yang Guang immediately reported to Yang Jian for approval, and handed over the envoy who was on duty in the palace to him.

Guo Yan heard that Yang Guang was appointed as the generalissimo of the Chen soldiers and horses, and he proposed more than once that he would follow Yang Guang to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions. Yang Guang also wanted to take such a deaf and clear-eyed general of the forbidden army with special abilities to accompany him on the expedition, but considering that he had been on duty in the palace for a year and was very familiar with the situation in the palace, he persuaded him to stay in the palace to assist Yang Xiong to continue to stay.

The second official task that needs to be handed over is to continue the investigation of the "Wild Goose's Nest" and the Guan Zizai case.

Soon after Xinyi Shitai defected to the imperial court and revealed that Gao Liansheng was Guan Zizai, the imperial court sent envoys to Goguryeo to explain to Gao Tang that his uncle Gao Liansheng was Guan Zizai, the great leader of Nanchen Xizuo, and his real name was called Qinglian's fake, and asked Gao Tang to arrest Guan Zizai and hand him over to the Sui Dynasty for disposal.

The day before the envoys went north from Chang'an, Jiao Er, the porter and guard of the Jin Dynasty's mansion, heard from somewhere that Gao Liansheng, the drinking friend who once asked him to drink every day, was Guan Zizai, the big leader of the "Wild Goose's Nest", and took the initiative to find Yang Guang and strongly requested to rush to Goguryeo with the envoys, personally capture Guan Zizai back to Chang'an, and make amends to Yang Guang.

Yang Guang didn't seem to remember that Jiao Er often drank and chatted with Gao Liansheng during that time, and had leaked some great secrets to him, which brought actual damage to the imperial court, but seeing that Jiao Er's attitude of asking to personally arrest Guan Zizai and return to Chang'an was so resolute, and he remembered that although his legs and feet were not very sharp, his kung fu was not left behind, and maybe he could really play some role, so after obtaining the permission of his father Yang Jian, Jiao Er went to Goguryeo with the envoy.

Now that the envoy and his entourage have not returned to Chang'an, it is unknown whether Gao Tang is willing to return Gao Liansheng to the Sui Dynasty.

According to Yang Guang's intentions, his father had no intention of deposing the crown prince, so it was better to return this mission to the eldest brother Yang Yong to preside, but Yang Guang had just shown this meaning in front of Yang Jian, and it attracted Yang Jian's opposition.

"As the marshal of this war Chen, you should preside over the overall situation, and all affairs related to the war Chen will be presided over by you, and you don't need to entrust others."

The reasons put forward by Yang Jian are also very sufficient, and Jiao Er has been gone with the envoy to Goguryeo for three or four months, and it is estimated that he will return to Chang'an according to the distance. Yang Guang wanted to get the exact news of whether the culprit had been arrested before going south to take up his post, so he was not in a hurry to leave Chang'an after receiving the generalissimo's canonization.

The third official business that needs to be handed over is the local government affairs of the state capitals in Kannai.

In particular, in the short period of a few months since tens of thousands of Xinmin families moved from Kanto to Jingyuan Erzhou to open up pastures and graze war horses, there were constant conflicts between the Xinmin of Kanto and the local residents of Jingyuan, so that after Yang Guang cracked the "Wild Goose's Nest" case, he sent Duan Da to lead the hussar battalion of the King of Jin to Jingyuan in person, and together with Wang Shichong, the capital officer who initiated the development of pastures in Jingyuan Erzhou, he did a lot of pacifying work, and barely maintained the peace of Jingyuan and Jingyuan.

This time, it is also necessary to explain to his cousin Yang Xiong the contradictions and conflicts between the new people and the aborigines of Jingyuan Erzhou, so that Yang Guang can go south to unify the army and attack Chen with peace of mind.

At the same time, Zhang Heng's identity as the governor of the Jin Dynasty was removed by the emperor from the post of Yongzhou to maintain law and order in the capital, and there were also a large number of official affairs to be handed over to his successor Yang Yue, so after getting the news that Shi Xiang led the army to break the Southern Chen Water Army, conquer Jiangzhou in one fell swoop, and obtain the first victory of Chen, Yang Guang was urged by Yang Jian, and agreed with Zhang Heng to hand over all official duties within 20 days, and set off for Shouchun to join the army at the end of October.

This day was almost the end of the month, and Yang Guangyi bid farewell to Princess Xiao Er in Lanzhi Palace in the morning and left the palace to go to the Jin Palace. Today, he made an appointment with Gao Ying and Zhang Heng, the two long historians, in the Jin Palace, to discuss how to divide the former enemy and unify the army to defeat Chen.

When he walked into the main hall of the palace, he saw that Gao Ying and Zhang Heng had arrived before him.

"Dugu Gong, a few days ago, we had a meeting, you advocated that the Generalissimo's Mansion be settled in Guangling, instead of Shouchun, where Huainan Xingtai Shangshu Province is located, I have thought about it for a few days, Guangling is closer to Jiankang, the capital of Emperor Nanchen, and it is indeed more convenient to directly attack Jiankang, and then divide the troops to occupy the entire territory of Nanchen after crossing the river and taking Jiankang in one fell swoop. Therefore, I plan to ask you to rush to Guangling first to prepare for the construction of the Generalissimo's Mansion, and I and Jianping still go to Shouchun first according to the original plan, so that Nan Chen mistakenly thinks that our army will still settle the Generalissimo's Mansion in Shouchun, relax the precautions against Jiankang, and then secretly go to Guangling to meet with the Dugu Guild to discuss the specific offensive matters, how about it? ”

Because of Gao Ying's honorable status, Yang Guang was inconvenient to give him a direct order, so he entered the palace, and asked Gao Ying to sit next to him with a smile, while talking to him in a consultative tone.

"The generalissimo is wise, and Ying should act according to the generalissimo's orders, and everything is obeyed." Gao Yingcai and the crown prince Yang Yong became sons and daughters, and he was appointed as the governor of the generalissimo Chen's mansion, and instinctively felt that he would inevitably be involved in the whirlpool of the two princes vying for power and throne in the future.

Yang Guang nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his hand and said, "Dugu Gong, please sit down, you don't have to be formal." He turned to Zhang Heng and asked, "Jianping, is there no news from Goguryeo?" Counting the days, it's time for them to come back. ”

Although Zhang Heng is the chief of the Jin Dynasty's mansion, he knows that his long history cannot be compared with Gao Ying, so he didn't dare to sit and answer, stood up, and replied: "Xiaguan knows that the prince is worried about this matter in his heart, and yesterday he ordered Yu Xiaoren to take someone out of Beijing to inquire about the news, if nothing else, there will be news from them in a day or two." ”

Gao Ying saw that Yang Guang was silent, so she persuaded him: "Since the emperor has entrusted the prince to continue to preside over the investigation of the case of Nanchen Xizuo, according to a certain opinion, it is better to send someone out of the customs to meet the envoy of Goguryeo, and order him to wait for the prince in the eastern capital, and meet him there when the prince leaves Beijing to go to work and passes through the eastern capital, is it inconvenient?" ”10
