Chapter 40: The First World War

Yang Jian listened to Dou Rongding's words, and his face immediately became gloomy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Yang Yong, the crown prince standing beside Yang Jian, has participated in the government affairs, and knows that his father Yang Jian has been planning with Gao Ying for dozens of days in order to fight this big war with the Turks, and has spent a lot of time and time, and when the matter comes, Dou Rongding, the former enemy commander and his brother-in-law who was initially selected by his father, actually claimed that even if he defeats the Turks, he may not be able to stabilize the northern border, how can Yang Jian not feel disappointed and annoyed?

"Father, you got up early in the morning, you haven't had dinner yet, it's better to ...... first" Yang Yong was afraid that his brother-in-law would annoy his father, so he hurriedly covered it up for him.

"Your Majesty, what General Dou said is not entirely unreasonable." Gao Ying made it clear that she supported Dou Rongding, "A few days ago, the news that Apo Khan sent an envoy to Chang'an to make offerings reached the ears of Shabalu Khan Setu, and he was greatly annoyed. According to the Youzhou Yinshou newspaper, the photo has sent his brother to congratulate His Majesty on his ascension to Chang'an. According to the minister's opinion, if His Majesty is in charge of his majesty, frustrates his arrogance, and then understands his reasoning and induces him to take advantage, then he can collect the merits of the army without a fight, and can also save hundreds of thousands of our soldiers from the fatigue of traveling thousands of miles from the north and south, and it is really a feasible strategy for the great plan of exterminating Chen with all his might. ”

Yang Jian snorted heavily, and raised his voice disapprovingly, "Why did you come from the Dao Throat?" In the past, the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty were unable to compete with each other, and in order to encircle the Turks to help themselves, they did not hesitate to stoop to the Turkic Khan with their fathers, and were willing to be vassals to the Turks. The photo sent Luo Yu to Chang'an, most of which was to ask me to follow the example of Zhou and Qi and call the Turks a minister and father. Now that I have made up my mind to unify the north and the south, how can I follow the example of my predecessors and do such a reluctant?! Therefore, I said that when I came to Chang'an this time, I had nothing else to give, but a war book for him to bring back to take pictures. ”

Yang Guang originally only knew that in the five dynasties and ten kingdoms and the weak Song Dynasty two or three hundred years after the Sui Dynasty, he had called the foreign Khitan in the north as a subordinate, but it was the first time he heard that the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi before the Sui had also called the Turks a subordinate. Therefore, after listening to Yang Jian's words, Yang Guang almost shouted on the spot. He endured it a few times, but he still couldn't hold back the impulse in his heart, strode forward, and said angrily: "Father Emperor Shengming." As the governor of the state, the son is willing to go out of the northern border of the town and fight with the Turks. ”

His sudden initiative to ask to go out of the town and merge with the state startled Su Wei, who was Yang Guangye's teacher, and hurriedly stood up and explained to Yang Jian for Yang Guang: "The King of Jin is willing to share the worries of his father, and I hope Your Majesty will see it." It's just that the king of Jin is still in his infancy, and it seems that it is not suitable to go out of the town. ”

Yang Jian was very dissatisfied with Gao Ying's attachment to Dou Rongding and deliberately avoided the decisive battle with the Turks, so he said this, but he didn't expect that his thirteen-year-old second son Yang Guang would take the initiative to stand up and support himself in a decisive battle with the Turks, and he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Although Ah Zong is young, his ambition is commendable. Don't be busy going out of town, stay with me for the time being, learn some skills by heart, and I and the prince will have everything we need your service in the future. He asked Su Wei again: "Dreadnought, in your opinion, what is the war with the Turks or not?" ”

Su Wei replied very concisely and skillfully: "The minister is willing to draft the next battle letter for His Majesty, and he will bring it back to the picture." ”

Yang Jian looked up and laughed: "According to Fearless's words, after His Majesty Luo Yu Jinjing sees him, depending on the situation, he will find an opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the Turks." ”

Led by Gao Ying, several important ministers of the court saw that Yang Jian had no more words to say, and they all stood up and retired. Yang Guangxing rushed to ask to leave the town, but Yang Jian refused, and he couldn't help feeling frustrated in his heart, and wanted to retire with Gao Ying, Su Wei and others, but Yang Jian waved his hand at him, sank his face and said, "Now it's your turn to talk about it." ”

Yang Guang was confused, he didn't know what mistake he had made, he just stood stupidly in place, unable to answer.

"How did I hear that these **** mansions are very lively, new clothes have been added up and down, and all the furnishings in the attic hall have been replaced? Is there such a thing? ”

Yang Guang gritted his teeth, knowing that this must be Li Yuan's report to Yang Jian about the matter in his mansion, so he had no choice but to reply: "This is indeed the case." ”

"I originally thought that among the five princes born to me and the queen, only you know how to be thrifty and quite like me, but I didn't expect that once you put up a party, you are not inferior to the others." Yang Jianquan was not as amiable as he was to the courtiers before, although his voice was not high, his tone was very stern, "Let's talk about it, what happy event has happened in your mansion recently, which makes you toss so much?" ”

Since the crossing, as soon as Yang Guang saw his father Yang Jian's face for the first time, he provoked him to attack angrily at himself, and was flustered by his aggressive interrogation, and instinctively wanted to shirk responsibility: "Return to my father, eldest sister...... She ......"

"Two sentences have made you like this, and you still have to go out of the town domain for me?" Yang Jian was quite disdainful of Yang Guang's performance, "What's wrong with Lihua?" Say it. ”

Yang Guang swallowed his saliva, stabilized his mind, and replied timidly: "The eldest sister moved from the Hongsheng Palace to live with her son, because the son's mansion is too simple, I am afraid that the eldest sister has been wronged, so I ......."

Yang Jian glanced at Yang Guang suspiciously, slowed down his tone, and said: "Changed a few furnishings in the mansion and added some new clothes to the servants, these are nothing, but I heard about this and felt that it was inconsistent with your previous style of acting, so I just asked one more question by the way." But you also have to remember that if you want to gather a group of craftsmen like the third child and tinker with some moon-viewing building in the house, it will be a bit too much. I am the only one left with you today, so that among the princes, except for the crown prince, you are the eldest, and some time ago I received the envoy of the governor of the state, sooner or later, you will have to go out of the town, so I want you to listen to the military affairs, so that you will not panic in the future. ”

Yang Guang hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Thank you, father." ”

"One more thing." Yang Jian looked outside the hall and said slowly, "You also heard just now that the Turkic Great Khan sent Luo Yu to come to Chang'an, wanting to force me to follow the precedent of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and claim to be a vassal to the Turks, I will never agree." A war with the Turks was inevitable. After the northern border is stabilized, I will raise the army of the country and go south to destroy Chen, and then the northern border will be handed over to you to guard against the Turks. A year ago, Sun Sheng, the commander of Fengche Du, sent the princess Qianjin of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to make peace with the Turkic Shabalu Khan, and was photographed to stay in the Turks, and not long ago, he returned to Chang'an. The Turks have always valued military force over literature, and you can only compose a few poems, which is difficult to convince them. Therefore, I plan that from tomorrow onwards, you will worship Changsun Sheng as a teacher, firstly, to learn some Turkic customs and languages from him, and secondly, Changsun Sheng's riding and archery skills are outstanding, and you can also teach you some true skills to resist the enemy in battle. Taixue, you don't have to go every day, I have already explained to Fearless, but I will pick up some practical scriptures and teach you to hear. ”

Yang Guang seemed to see the hope of going out of the town and merging the state from Yang Jian's words, and bowed down with joy and said: "The son obeys the order, and he must not disappoint his father." ”
