Chapter 399: Credits Falling from the Sky
Yang Guang's plan to "lead the Buddha out of the mountain" failed to attract the mysterious Bodhisattva as he wished, but to his surprise, at the same time, Guan Zizai, the leader of the "Wild Goose's Nest" that he wanted to find day and night, was also facing an existential crisis that he had never encountered before.

The cause of the incident still has to start from the fact that Li Yuan encountered robbers in Longmen and fired 72 arrows in a row to force the robbers back.
Li Yuan borrowed 30,000 soldiers and horses from Yang Jun, the king of Qin, and marched north to Bingzhou to relieve the siege of Yang Shuang's army outside the pass. Because the former general of the British Gongyu Wenxin led the army to win more with less, captured Yunzhou City from the Turks, cut off the retreat route of the army of Shabalu Khan's westward expedition, and forced the Turkic army that returned to Wuyuan City on the east route to rush west to seize Yunzhou City, so that Li Yuan and Li Che led the army out of the pass, and it took almost no much trouble to smoothly receive Yang Shuang's army and withdraw to Yanmen Pass.
Afterwards, Li Yuan was anxious to return to the eastern capital to return the soldiers and horses, so that Yang Shuang's army could withdraw to the Guannei on the third day, he bid farewell to Yang Guang, and led the unscathed 30,000 soldiers and horses south to return to the eastern capital Luoyang.
Half a month later, Li Yuan and his entourage arrived in Luoyang, and personally went to the Henan Dao Xingtai Government Office to meet Yang Jun, the king of Qin, after handing over the talisman and arrows, Li Yuan planned to leave for Chang'an on the same day, but he just left the door of the Taiwan Council Hall, and a young Sui army general came over with a smile, bowed to Li Yuan and said: "Duke Qinghe invites Duke Tang Guo to come over to the mansion. ”
Li Yuan knew his uncle, the current emperor Yang Jian did not like Yang Su as a person, so when he first came to the Eastern Capital more than a month ago, although he heard from Yang Jun that Yang Su was sick in bed, he did not go to visit the patient.
Although he was puzzled in his heart, because of his feelings, Li Yuan could not refuse Yang Su's invitation, so he followed Na Jiang Zuo to Changshi Mansion to see Yang Su.
As soon as Yang Su saw that Li Yuan was invited, he greeted him from the chamber in the mansion with a spring breeze on his face, took Li Yuan's hand, walked into the chamber side by side with him, and complimented Li Yuan with a smile: "Duke Tang led the army to the north this time, relieved the siege of King Wei, and returned to Chang'an. In the future, when Tang Gong flies to Huang Tengda, don't forget your intentions. ”
Li Yuan thought to himself that he was young, and hurriedly bowed to Yang Su and said: "Qinghe Gong's good intentions, Shude has received it, and then Shude led the army north to reinforce and merge with the labor of Qinghe Gong riding into Huazhou alone, betraying Seoul Zhu Ji, and quelling the Huazhou rebellion in one fell swoop, compared with more than a thousand miles, how dare Lao Qinghe Gong be so hospitable?" Qinghe Gong didn't know that Shude borrowed 30,000 soldiers and horses from the eastern capital King Qin not long ago, which was an expedient move, and there were many disagreements with the imperial court order, so I had returned 30,000 soldiers and horses to His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and I was about to leave for Chang'an to meet the Holy Lord to ask for guilt. I still ask the Duke of Qinghe to forgive Shude for being rude and unable to stay here, but drinking this tea is considered to be an apology to the Duke of Qinghe. ”
Li Yuan said, without waiting for Yang Su to step forward to dissuade him, he picked up a bowl of tea on a few cases nearby, drank it all with his neck up, and turned around to leave.
"Don't panic. I also want to send a big credit to Tang Gong, I want to stay Tang Gong in the Eastern Capital for two more days, I don't know if Tang Gong is willing to sit down and listen to the words? Yang Su was very unhappy when he saw Li Yuan being so perfunctory and alienated from himself, but he kept Li Yuan with a smile on his face.
Li Yuan listened to Yang Su's words, and didn't understand what kind of credit he wanted to give himself, so he stopped and reluctantly sat down under Yang Su's persuasion, and then asked Yang Su: "What did the Qinghe Duke just say, I don't know what he meant?" ”
Yang Su replied proudly: "Tang Gong met bandits in Longmen a month ago, I don't know if you still remember this?" Now that I have found out where the bandit leader is hiding, I want to bother Tang Gong and Chu Dao to lead the army to arrest the bandit leader, is this a big credit to Tang Gong? ”
Li Yuan's eyes lit up, he hurriedly straightened up, clenched his fists and asked, "But I don't know who the bandit leader is?" Where are you hiding now? ”
"Don't hide it from Tang Gong, I have captured all the bandits who robbed Tang Gong and his party in Longmen Mountain that day, after strict torture of this gang of bandits, I learned the identity and whereabouts of the bandit leader, and I was about to personally lead someone to arrest this person, and I happened to meet Tang Gong to return to the Eastern Capital, so I intended to invite Tang Gong to go with me, Tang Gong can be interested?" Yang Su saw that Li Yuan was young, and he would never let go of such a big merit in front of him and not be moved, so he was not in a hurry to say the specific location where the bandit was hiding, but instead beckoned the servants in the palace to serve wine and cloth and food, and wanted to set up a banquet in the council hall to entertain Li Yuan.
Li Yuan recalled the journey before and after his party met bandits in Longmen, and the more he pondered, the more he felt that this was by no means an ordinary group of bandits, so he moved to be invited by Yang Su to arrest the bandit leader and find out the true origin of this gang of bandits, however, Li Yuan was not a person who was eager for quick success, seeing that Yang Su did not tell himself where the bandits were hiding, nor was he in a hurry to take himself to catch the bandits, but sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and set up a banquet in the chamber of the mansion to entertain himself, he couldn't help but think about it, and took the opportunity to toast to Yang Su. Xiang Yang Sutan asked: "Looking at the situation, this bandit leader is already in Qinghe Gong's bag, and it is difficult to fly away with wings, but Shude doesn't understand, why does Qinghe Gong insist on asking Shude to capture the bandit leader together?" ”
Yang Su was waiting for Li Yuan's words, and when he heard this, he laughed and replied: "Tang Gong is really agile, just to ask for something in the way, so this is the case." ”
It turned out that Yang Su kept saying that he wanted to give him a great credit as soon as they met, so he asked for help with something. But I've never seen it, and before the credit has arrived, I am ashamed to say in advance that I have something to ask for. No wonder my uncle doesn't like Yang Su as a person, this person's style is indeed very different from ordinary people.
Yang Su's words had already been spoken, and even though Li Yuan was slanderous about him, he had to smile bitterly and clench his fists and ask, "I want to hear about it." ”
Yang Su had the intention of using Li Yuan's oral message to the emperor and queen in the Chang'an Palace, venting the complaints in his heart, so he said with a big grin: "When the Dao only hopes that the Tang Duke will take the bandit leader Jin Jing to face the saint, he will explain his thoughts to the emperor and Niangniang, and ask the emperor to order or transfer the Dao to return to Beijing, participate in the maintenance, plan and share the worries for the emperor, or order the Dao to lead the army to the north, and fight with the Turks, so as to strengthen the prestige of the Great Sui, in short, with the talent of the Dao, I will never be willing to stay only in this flowery Eastern Capital, and do some things to catch stolen goods and thieves." ”
