Yang Su was silent for a while, raised his head, looked directly into Yang Xuangan's eyes, and said, "Xuangan, do you have any better way?" ”

Yang Xuangan thought about it seriously and said: "In fact, you can use the method of Wu to attack Chu back then, if you really want to destroy Goguryeo, on the one hand, you will make peace with Baekje and Silla, and agree that they will attack together; On the other hand, it was possible to dispatch 20,000 or 30,000 partial divisions to Youju and Yingju every year to harass and attack Goguryeo's Liaodong area, attack its border cities, and plunder its population. ”

Yang Su's eyes began to glow, and he asked, "Then if Goguryeo is overwhelmed and raises a large army to attack, how should it be handled?" ”

Yang Xuangan smiled slightly: "In that case, the labor division will go on an expedition, and the veteran soldiers will become Goguryeo." ”

Yang Su squinted his eyes and asked, "It is true that this can slowly drag Goguryeo down and lose weight after more than ten years or even decades of tossing, but can our Yang family survive until then?" If there is nothing to do at home, and there is no army to pour the country abroad, then I am afraid that our Yang family will encounter a catastrophe in less than three years. ”

Yang Xuan smiled embarrassedly and said, "The child is just planning for the country, and he didn't think of our Yang family." If you want to protect our family, it is naturally best to change the law internally and conquer externally, so as to show your role at that time. ”

Yang Su sighed: "I hope that the emperor can use us at that time, what you said earlier is also reasonable, at that time, I am afraid that he is also a son of heaven and a courtier, and there may be someone who has a greater appetite for the emperor to help him plan these things." ”

Yang Xuan was surprised: "There will be such a person?" ”

Yang Su nodded and said, "Actually, Wang Shichong, Li Mi and the others you just mentioned are too young. Lack of qualifications. The emperor would not reuse such a young man. As for Yang Yichen. He has no background in the court, and he is a member of the Guanlong aristocracy, so he cannot be of great use. The first adviser of the future emperor is none other than Pei Shiju of Hedong. ”

Yang Xuangan blurted out: "Is it the current Minbu squire Pei Shiju Pei?" Does he have what it takes? ”

Yang Su smiled and said, "Xuan Gan, a few years ago, you didn't know much about the affairs of the court, and this Pei Shiju's political talent is extremely high. is not under his father, and he is very interested in conquering the Quartet to expand his territory, and in a few years, he will definitely sit in his father's current position. ”

Yang Xuangan shook his head and said, "I know a little bit about Pei Shilang, it seems that it is not enough for him to become the prime minister." So far, he has not made great achievements as a coach as independently as his father, and Lingnan can only be regarded as a small fight, and he can't do a lot. ”

Yang Su smiled and said, "You may not be very clear about Pei Shiju's affairs. I only know some of his experiences in the officialdom, and the reason why I say that this person will definitely persuade the emperor to conquer the Quartet. There are other reasons. I'll tell you a few things, and you'll find out. ”

Yang Su took a sip of tea and said slowly: "The first thing, the princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the pro-Turks, after the Northern Zhou Dynasty was replaced by the Great Sui, the princess of the daughter has always been disgruntled, and tried her best to encourage the Eastern-Turkic Shabalu Khan to invade the Great Sui. ”

"In a series of wars from the third to the seventh year of the emperor's reign, the Turks gradually gained the upper hand, coupled with Changsun Sheng's strategy of division and disintegration, which divided the Turks internally, and several khans fought endlessly."

Later, Sha Bolu Khan asked Yang Jian to be attached, and Yang Jian recognized Princess Qianjin as a righteous daughter and renamed Princess Dayi. These things are what you know. ”

Yang Xuangan nodded: "Yes, the child remembers that it was Changsun Sheng who planned this matter at that time, and the Turks sent by Yu Qing of the Shangzhu State were neither humble nor arrogant, and coerced Sha Bo Luo Khan to submit." ”

Yang Su nodded and continued: "But what you don't know is that after a few years of Dulan Khan's accession to the throne, the Turks took in another fugitive from the Great Sui, Yang Qin. This person lied to Princess Dayi, saying that someone in the country had responded, and encouraged Princess Dayi to continue to persuade the new khan to use troops in the Sui Dynasty. ”

Princess Dayi actually believed it, and began to encourage Dulan Khan to form a good alliance and invade the Great Sui. When Changsun Sheng heard about this, he came up with a clever plan to transfer Princess Yicheng, who was originally going to be used to marry Dulan, to Tuli, which is now the Khan of Qimin. And the person responsible for sending Princess Yicheng and his relatives is Pei Shiju. ”

Yang Xuangan was shocked when he heard this: "So this Pei Shiju also participated in the process of Changsun Sheng's differentiation and disintegration of the Turks?" Was it he who persuaded Tuli to instigate Du Lan to kill Princess Dayi? ”

Yang Su smiled slightly: "Exactly, Princess Dayi has a face in Turkic, and this news was heard by Pei Shiju, and he also told Sù to Tuli, so after the timid Tuli had this ironclad evidence, he managed to catch Princess Dayi and the adulterer in the account and threw it directly to Dulan." ”

"Although the people on the grassland are open, the Khan's Khotun (equivalent to the queen of the Central Plains and the Khan's wife) has fornicated with people, and no matter how it is, it is a great loss of face, so Du Lan killed Princess Dayi in anger."

"Afterwards, Dulan Khan saw that Princess Yicheng, who originally said that he would be friendly and kissed to him, actually returned to Tuli, and he didn't get anything except being a king once, so he angrily attacked Tuli, which was also the fuse for our counterattack against the Turks in the nineteenth year of the emperor's reign."

Yang Xuangan sighed: "Good means, good strategy, Pei Shiju can go deep into the enemy camp, and it is really not easy to say that Tuli is doing this." ”

Yang Su nodded: "Yes, and he even knows everything about Princess Dayi and the face, which is even more difficult." It shows that the intelligence network developed by this person in the Turks is extraordinary. ”

Yang Xuan was surprised: "Isn't this the information that Changsun Sheng gave him?" ”

Yang Su smiled: "Even if Eldest Sun Sheng knows about Princess Dayi's adultery with others, it is impossible to know when she will see that face and in which tent." was able to catch the princess and the adulterer on the spot, which obviously depended on Pei Shiju to inquire on the spot after going to the Turks. ”

Yang Xuan said: "Well, it's true, it seems that this Pei Shiju is also all over the Turks." But now that our dynasty has a good relationship with the Turks, then he will also be useless as a hero. ”

Yang Su waved his hand and said, "Xuangan, you don't know, this Pei Shiju's intelligence is far from being only aimed at the Turks. This person has his own business name in the customs market in Daxing and Longyou. Among them, it is widely spread to the ears and eyes. He maintained a very good relationship with many Hu merchants from the Western Regions, and often intentionally or unintentionally used the words of these Hu merchants to inquire about the customs of the country where they were located, the roads and passes, the number of troops, and so on. ”

Yang Xuan sighed: "These businessmen would sell the motherland's intelligence so lightly? Don't they have a little bit of patriotism? ”

Yang Su sighed and said, "Pei Shiju's shrewdness lies in this, he rarely asks these Hu merchants directly about the military secrets of his country, at most he only asks about general information such as customs and geographical location. ”

"He asked those Hu merchants about the military intelligence of the enemy country or some countries passing through on the way, you must know that the Western Regions has never been a whole, from Liangzhou to the west. All the way to the West Sea, dozens of large and small countries along the way were all familiar to him. ”

"When the first emperor was there, Pei Shiju once mentioned that Tuyuhun sent troops to the west, opened up the connection with the Western Regions, and then followed the example of the Han Dynasty, Tuntian Western Regions, and finally included it in the Great Sui."

"But the emperor, you know, don't like to conquer the Quartet like this, so this discussion is finally abandoned. Now the new emperor is on the throne. He will definitely mention this matter again, and it just so happens that the emperor is a person who is particularly interested in this. When he was the crown prince, he approved of Pei Shiju's plan. ”

"Therefore, once the emperor completes the relocation of the capital to Luoyang, he will definitely pick up this plan again, first break the Tuyuhun that has been harassing the Silk Road and dominate the Hehuang area, and then let the countries of the Western Regions come to the court, which will definitely make the emperor's vanity greatly satisfied."

Yang Xuangan nodded while listening, and when he heard this, he suddenly raised his hand and said, "Then does Pei Shiju also know about Goguryeo?" Have you also figured out the internal situation? Why do you say that he would encourage the emperor to devote the whole country to conquer Goguryeo? ”

Yang Su smiled: "This is just a guess for my father, but Pei Shiju is a bit like Su Wei, talented, but he is very good at meeting his wishes, and he has no principles and positions." ”

"He can also see that the emperor is so happy, just subjugating the Western Regions is not enough for him to be satisfied, and the Turks are temporarily subservient to us, so in terms of foreign wars, whether it is for the sake of face or for the benefit of reality, it is most appropriate to conquer Goguryeo and restore the four counties of the Han Dynasty."

Yang Xuangan suddenly thought of something, became nervous, and asked: "Father, you also implicated him by the way when you were in the last time you were in the pit Shi Long live, causing him to work in vain, this Pei Shiju will not hold a grudge against you because of this, and will retaliate against you when he comes to power in the future." ”

Yang Su was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, the current Pei Shiju is no longer able to control and suppress his father, so last time he took the initiative to show favor to his father and recommended him to be the secretary of the ministry, if he takes the position of a father in the future, there will be no conflict of interest, I think it should not be a matter of falling for his father again." ”

Yang Xuan said anxiously: "But you said that he is a person who welcomes us, if the emperor intends to move us, will he follow the emperor's will to put our family to death?" ”

Yang Su's eyes froze suddenly, and he couldn't speak for a long time, obviously Yang Xuangan said this to his heart.

He sat dejectedly, and after a long time he spoke: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, if that day comes, if he doesn't do it, someone else will do it, such as Su Wei, do you think he will let go of being a father?" ”

"Therefore, the only thing that a father can think of is to shift the emperor's mind to other places, and only in this way can I keep my Yang family at peace for a while. There is another thing you have to keep in mind, this Pei Shiju seems to have an extraordinary relationship with Wang Shichong, and you must pay special attention to this point in the future, since you have formed an alliance with Wang Shichong, you may be able to influence Pei Shiju through him, and facilitate our plan in front of the emperor. ”

Yang Xuangan was about to speak, but Yang Su raised his hand to stop his son's question, he said: "I'm a little tired of being a father today, if there is nothing else, you retreat first, the army will return to Beijing in the next two days, you go around inside and outside this Jinyang City, this place is one of the best fortified cities in the world, you must spend more effort to investigate and operate." ”

Yang Xuan sensed "yes" and turned around and exited the room.

Along the way, Yang Xuangan has been thinking about Yang Su's words just now, obviously Yang Guang's recent series of actions have proved that the terrible worry is approaching reality step by step, and what his father and son can do is to resign themselves to fate and delay the arrival of that day, and they don't know when such a worrying day will end.

Yang Xuangan thought of the Northern Zhou Dynasty Emperor Wu Emperor Yu Wenyu who had said to him with a smile after pardoning Yang Su: "Young man. Work hard. I am not afraid that I will not be rich in the future. ”

At that time, Yang Su replied directly: "The minister is only afraid that wealth will force me in the future." How can you worry about not having wealth? "The current situation is that Yang Su has been in great trouble in the pursuit of wealth in his life, and now he has fallen into this field, and he is really forced by wealth.

Yang Xuangan was thinking as he walked, and unconsciously strolled into the street, full of drunken soldiers, three or five people in groups of three or five people in the city to find pleasure and get drunk.

After conquering Jinyang, these soldiers who had worked hard for several months could be regarded as ducks. Yang Su also announced a ten-day holiday to let the soldiers have a good time.

Most of these soldiers from the Longxi area of Guanzhong have never been a hundred miles away from their hometowns, and it is rare to come to Jinyang, so they naturally enter the city one after another to open their eyes, Fenjiu and women are the two things they are most interested in now.

In fact, wine and women are also the two things that ordinary men are most interested in, even if Yang Xuangan is extremely displeased with these prodigal soldiers in his heart, he can't violate his father's military orders.

What's more, he was depressed at this time. With that terrible future in mind, he couldn't care less about reprimanding these drunken soldiers.

A woman's scream suddenly came from Yang Xuangan's ears. Immediately followed by a man's roar echoing in the air: "Damn, slut, use some means to make you know how powerful Grandpa is!"

This voice was rough and loud, and it could be heard clearly from dozens of steps away, Yang Xuan felt a little familiar with it, and he always felt that he had heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it all of a sudden.

Seeing that many people were running towards the courtyard of an ordinary family, Yang Xuangan also walked quickly and squeezed into the house with the flow of people.

At the door of this house stood two soldiers with fleshy faces and fierce faces, with helmets and armor and waist knives in their hands, completely different from those ordinary soldiers who were empty-handed, took off their armor, and went to the street to seek pleasure, obviously a general's personal guard.

The two soldiers guarded the courtyard like door gods, violently pushing away the people who wanted to pour into the courtyard to take a look

It was a typical petty official's house, with three low earthen houses covered with tiles, surrounded by loess walls that enclosed them into a small courtyard with two willow trees.

There was a cart under the courtyard wall on the left, and among the three earthen houses was the stove room on the left, and the door of the one room on the right was open, and two little girls in their early teens were sitting on the ground in horror, huddled together and shivering.

And another black-faced thin boy of about thirteen or fourteen years old, who was tied up by five flowers, sat on the ground by the door, stared fiercely at the room in the middle, and his eyes seemed to be about to breathe fire.

But the door in the middle was closed, and it was daytime, and the windows were tightly closed, and there was a man and a woman in it, and the woman was screaming one after another, while a man's voice was laughing loudly, laughing and saying, "Call you not to obey, tell you not to obey!"

Someone in the crowd of onlookers shouted, "Isn't this the Yuan family? Could it be that someone is forcing the Lu family lady? ”

Another old voice immediately rang out: "Shhhh Yuan Wuguang, the eldest son of the Yuan family, followed the king of Han to raise troops this time, and also served as the clerk of General Suliang, and now that the king of Han has collapsed, the court is raiding the homes of these thieves, so it's better to be nosy. ”

A middle-aged woman shouted dissatisfiedly: "Yuan Wuguang's rebellion is Yuan Wuguang's business, what does it have to do with the Lu family's lady?" Besides, didn't the emperor say that he was lenient with coercion? Raid the house, raid the house, what kind of ability is it to bully other weak women!"

Another younger woman's voice sounded: "That is, the lady of the Lu family is a well-known virtuous woman, she was widowed at a young age, and she did not remarry, is it easy to pull five children to grow up by herself?" Neighbors, we can't let the Lu family lady be bullied!"

The crowd gathered more and more, and there were already two or three thousand people outside the gate of this small courtyard, and then a burst of shouts began to sound in the crowd.

"Yes, even the emperor can't bully people like this."

"Forcing women from good families to rape in broad daylight, is there still a royal law?"

"Let's go in together and seek justice for the Lu family!"

The crowd was furious, and the young juniors standing at the front began to push the two soldiers guarding the door, and the two were pushed back again and again, and gradually pushed from outside the courtyard gate to the door.

The two soldiers guarding outside the house on the right saw that the situation was not good, and one of them hurriedly ran over, drew his saber with a "choking" sound, and shouted: "Do you want to rebel?!"

The sound of a thunderclap at once frightened the impulsive and restless crowd, and the crowd ceased to crowd inside, and retreated back to the outside of the courtyard, where the voices of the women inside grew quieter and quieter, and at last they were almost inaudible.

Yang Xuangan had been blocked from the back just now and couldn't come forward, otherwise he would have rushed in to save the woman, and seeing that the crowd was not moving at this time, he also desperately squeezed a passage forward in the crowd.

His body was as strong as a hill, and his strength was great, and he quickly squeezed forward more than ten paces, and was only less than four or five paces away from the gate where the two soldiers stood.
