Yang Yong was canonized as the prince of Sui two years ago, until he was made the crown prince after the opening of Sui, and he had never been so attacked by Yang Jian in front of his subordinates. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Yang Jian glanced at Changsun Sheng, who was standing at the foot of the stairs, tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, ordered Yang Yong to stand up and stand beside him, and asked Changsun Sheng instead: "Ji Sheng, it's a pity that Ah Zong's letter came one step late, and the main force of the tribe led by Sha Boluo has invaded the south on a large scale. ”

Changsun Sheng hurriedly bowed down and clenched his fists and replied, "This matter is also the fault of the minister. Some time ago, when the minister returned to Chang'an to report to His Majesty, he originally thought of reminding His Majesty to pay more attention to the military situation in the northwest, but because he didn't know much about Sha Bolu's whereabouts at that time, he never mentioned it to His Majesty. Now that Sha Boluo's whereabouts are clear, it confirms the minister's previous conjecture that he led the main force of the tribe westward. ”

"Oh? Speak and listen. Yang Jian raised his eyebrows, rarely leaned forward with his hands, and urged Changsun Shengdao.

"Not long after His Majesty ascended to the pole, he had already adopted the advice of his ministers and sent an envoy to give the wolf's head to the uncle of Sha Bolu, Datou Khan, to carry out a divide. A few days ago, the Turkic Five Khans Alliance joined forces to invade the south, although Datou also participated in it, but Sha Boluo must still be wary of him, this time he personally led the main force of the tribe to the west, most likely to urge Datou to join forces with him, and jointly invade our Great Sui. From this, it can also be seen that although the name of the five Turkic khans will be allied, in fact, the gap has already arisen. Your Majesty need not be too worried. ”

Although Changsun Sheng's words were very confident, Yang Jian still frowned after hearing this, and refuted Changsun Sheng: "Although what Ji Sheng said is reasonable, the 400,000 Turkic iron cavalry has invaded the south on a large scale, and now there are less than 100,000 troops stationed in the northwest, so what can be done?" ”

As soon as Yang Yong entered the palace, he was attacked by Yang Jian, and then escaped by luck, and stood beside Yang Jian for a long time, and couldn't help but want to redeem his previous negligence, so he took the opportunity to interject: "The imperial court is guarding against the Turkic army, and now most of them are gathered in Hebei Province, and now the northwest has become the direction of the main Turkic attack, so it is better to ask my father to issue an edict, ordering the prince to lead an army of 100,000 to rush to the northwest from the secluded to relieve the urgent need." Erchen is also willing to personally raise a group of soldiers and horses, go west to Chang'an, and defend the imperial capital. ”

Hearing that the eldest son took the initiative to ask for help, Yang Jian's face softened a little, and when he was muttering, the eldest grandson Sheng had already said loudly: "Your Majesty, you must not." The prefectures under the rule of Hebei Province are located in the south of Dujin Mountain, where the Sha Bo Luo Ya Tent is located, and should be defended by heavy troops. At present, although Sha Bolu personally led the main force of the tribe to invade the west and south, he will not abandon the location of his tooth tent, and will definitely leave the elite garrison, as the prince said, once His Majesty transfers the heavy troops in Hebei Province to the northwest, the Turkic elite who remain in the east will inevitably take advantage of the situation to enter, and Hebei will not be in danger. ”

"The imperial court gathered 200,000 troops to confront Nanchen between the Jianghuai and the Huai, Yang Su has recently implemented the policy of Huairou Fuyuan in the eastern capital, which has achieved initial results, and the Nanchen Shi clan have crossed the river to vote, and now is the best time to raise troops to attack Chen, according to Ji Sheng's words, don't you want to persuade me to transfer the Jianghuai army to the north?" Yang Jian stared at Changsun Sheng sensitively and asked.

"Definitely." Changsun Sheng smiled faintly, shook his head and replied, "At the beginning of the alliance of the five Turkic khans, Your Majesty had already decided to raise troops on both the north and south roads at the same time, how could he give up halfway? According to the minister's point of view, although the military situation in the northwest is urgent, it has not yet reached the point of no return. The minister is not talented, and he is willing to ask for a decree to go to the northwest to serve his life, and then divide the situation, make up for the dead, and alleviate the situation in the northwest. ”

"But with the strength of Qing alone, how can he retreat the 400,000 Turkic army?" Yang Jian looked directly at Changsun Sheng without worry, and asked.

"The power of one minister can only fight a dozen people, how can the 400,000 Turkic army turn around and retreat north?" Changsun Sheng was still smiling, and explained to Yang Jian, "Your Majesty still needs to appoint a general to pay homage to the commander, recruit Ding Zhuang on the spot to replenish the northwest military strength, strictly guard the passes everywhere, and try to delay the Turkic offensive southward. However, if it can be delayed for two or three months, the division between the ministers is expected to be successful, forcing the Turks to withdraw their troops. ”

Yang Jian nodded, and did not immediately take Changsun Sheng's suggestion, but fell into contemplation: according to the current military strength of the Sui Dynasty, 200,000 main forces attacked Chen between Jianghuai and Huai, 100,000 government troops were deployed in Hebei, and the remaining government troops stationed in various state capitals also had nearly 200,000 people.

"A few days ago, I have appointed Dou Rong as the marshal of the Longlan Road March, stationed in Jieliangzhou, and Ji Sheng can temporarily serve in his army to carry out discord. As for the matter of replenishing the military strength of the northwest, let me think twice before making a decision. When Shen Yin moved, Yang Jian still failed to come up with a foolproof plan to replenish the strength of the northwest army, so he raised his head and issued an edict to Changsun Sheng.

The eldest grandson Sheng retreated according to the order, Yang Jianping retreated from Yuanyu, Su Yi'er and others, leaving only Yang Yong alone in the Wude Palace, and asked him with a calm face: "If it weren't for Yu Xiaoren entering the palace on the order of his father today, I didn't know that Ah Zong sent him back to Chang'an on the way out of the town and the state. Let's talk about it, what is the purpose of your recent visit to the Buddhist temples in Chang'an City? ”

When the matter came to an end, Yang Yong saw that there was nothing to hide, so he wrote to him halfway through Yang Guangyu, reporting that someone wanted to take the opportunity of convening the Buddha's congratulatory meeting in Chang'an on the eighth day of the lunar month to make a disturbance.

Yang Jian listened with a straight face, but did not reprimand Yang Yong for why he concealed it until now and then revealed the truth to him like Fang Cai, but asked Yang Yong coldly: "The Turkic heavy army is coming, do you really dare to personally lead the three armies and go west to Chang'an to resist the enemy?" ”

Yang Yong had proposed to Yang Jian more than once before that he would personally lead the troops to the battle, but every time Yang Jian always ignored it, and today his father took the initiative to mention this matter to him, so he couldn't help but lift his spirits, and replied with a fist: "My son is willing to go." ”

"That's good. Now Ah Zong has left the town and merged with the state, Ah Yi and Ah Xiu have also gone to the Eastern Capital and Yizhou to take up the domain, I am by my side, Ah Liang is still young, once something happens, I can only count on you. Yang Jian finally had a meaningful smile on his face, got up and left his seat, made a gesture to Yang Yong that he could leave, and walked out of the side door of the Wude Hall first, walking in the direction of Zhengyang Palace.

Standing in the Wude Palace, looking at Yang Jian's back and disappearing out of sight, Yang Yong instinctively realized that their father and son had encountered the biggest crisis since the opening of the Sui Dynasty, and the day when he came to the battlefield in person may not be far away.
