At the beginning of the twelfth year of the Great Cause, in the Eastern Capital, there was no New Year's celebration at all, and the reason for this was naturally because of a rumor that had just spread among the people of the Eastern Capital, Zhang Xutuo, who was known as the victorious general of the Great Sui, was defeated by bandits a few months ago and died on the battlefield!

According to reason, originally this battlefield battle had nothing to do with the people of the Eastern Capital, but now everyone knows that the world is about to be in chaos, and the only one who thinks that the world is peaceful is only the Son of Heaven in the palace! Originally, there was a Zhang Xutuo who could reassure the people, but now that even Zhang Xutuo is dead, a certain panic immediately spread in the Eastern Capital!

Of course, this panic is confined to the common people, and in the eyes of those in power, things are a little bad, but not to the point where they have lost confidence! The five strongest soldiers in the world only lost a counterinsurgency army, although Zhang Xutuo is dead, there are still Xue Shixiong, Qu Tutong, and Wang Shichong! No matter how bad it is, there is still the world's No. 1 Imperial Forest Army in this eastern capital! Just Wagangzhai, how big can it afford to be a lang flower? It is with such a heart that most people in the court still sing and dance every day.

In the Liang Guo Mansion, although it is not as cheerful and laughing as those officials, it is also quite relaxed, and the eldest young master of his own family is a dignified relative of the country, a thief? That's too far away! However, compared to the lower people, in a small courtyard in the inner courtyard, the atmosphere is depressing. www.biquge.info Wan He and others all gathered in the wing room, watching a white-bearded old man taking the pulse of a sturdy man lying on the bed. The sturdy man was seriously injured at first glance, and his face was as pale as paper, but it was Qin Qiong, who had just been sent to Luoyang for treatment today!

After a long time, the white-bearded old man put Qin Qiong's wrist back, got up and walked towards Wan He and the others. Seeing this, Wan He and the others all greeted him, and Li Jing immediately asked, "Uncle Shi!" What do you think? ”

"Huh? No big deal! However, there is too much blood loss, and I have to take care of it in the past two months! On weekdays, I use a lot of expensive medicinal materials, but at this point, it should be no problem to come to the country! "This white-bearded old man is the first nest of the Imperial Hospital! As Wan He had guessed before, this Chao Yuanfang was indeed a disciple of Ziyun Guan, and a junior disciple of Li Jing's master Ziyun Zhenren! It's just that Chao Yuanfang has no talent in martial arts, but he figured out a way to use Zixia Gong to treat diseases, so he was also invited to the imperial hospital to treat the royal clan. Originally, Wan He didn't have the qualifications to ask Chao Yuanfang to treat Qin Qiong, but with Li Jing's identity, it was much easier!

Hearing Chao Yuanfang's words, Wan He immediately nodded and said, "No problem!" No problem! As long as he can heal his wounds! It doesn't matter how much you spend! "Wan He is not wrong about this, for Wan Da Young Master, the most important thing is probably money!

Chao Yuanfang just nodded, then didn't say more, wrote a few prescriptions and doctor's instructions beside him, and went back directly, of course, Li Jing, as a nephew, also went to see him off. After sending Chao Yuanfang away, he glanced at Qin Qiong, who was lying unconscious on the bed, Wan He glanced at everyone, and everyone withdrew from the wing room together and sat down directly on the stone chair in the small courtyard. As soon as he took his seat, the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but sigh and said, "I didn't expect Zhang Dashuai to go like this!" Alas! ”

Back then, Zhang Xutuo was also a general under the account of Changsun Sheng, which can be regarded as an incense love, and it is precisely because of this that after the eldest grandson's family fell, the eldest grandson Hengan could serve in the counterinsurgency army, if it weren't for Zhang Xutuo's help, I am afraid that the eldest grandson's family would have collapsed! For Zhang Xutuo, the eldest grandson Wuji also has a grateful mind, and now that Zhang Xutuo has died in battle, the eldest grandson Wuji can't help but sigh. Of course, among all the people here, the one who has the deepest relationship with Zhang Xutuo is Pei Xingyan!

Hearing the eldest grandson Wuji mention Zhang Xutuo, Pei Xingyan's eyes were red, and he rubbed his eyes vigorously, after learning of Zhang Xutuo's death, Pei Xingyan almost rushed to Xingyang directly! Thanks to Wan He and Li Jing stopping them, and knowing that his father Pei Renji was safe and sound, he endured it. I saw Pei Xingyan clenching his fists with both hands, turning his head, and shouting at Wan He is fists: "Big young master!" Let the last general go to Xingyang! I must get back the heads of Zhai Rang and Li Mi! ”

"Don't worry!" Wan He frowned, pressed down with his hand towards Pei Xingyan, signaled him to calm down first, and then Wan He said: "Now the thieves are strong, and General Pei has less than 5,000 defeated troops!" Although the counterinsurgency army has left seeds, it is not something that can be done in a day or two to make a comeback! Zhai Rang and Li Mi are both rebellious, they can't run! There will be a chance to avenge you! ”

Pei Xingyan also knew that he was running to Xingyang like this, and he would not be able to take revenge at all, so he waved his fist with a look of resentment, and in the end he could only give up. Immediately, Wan He said to Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji: "The Holy Lord has issued an order, agreed with my advice, and sent twelve envoys to local armies in various places to organize a crusade against thieves!" Among the twelve routes of soldiers and horses, it has been determined that there is a road to Hengan, and there is also a road for General Pei! With this will, at least, Hengan can continue to stay in Hebei, and General Pei can also recruit troops in Henan independently! ”

Self-recruitment, this is a very taboo thing, now although the eldest grandson Hengan is still in Hebei, but his soldiers and horses are not recruited, but in the battles again and again, absorbing troops from various places, this is slowly growing their strength! If you recruit troops on your own, if you say small, it's called unruly, and if you say big, you're trying to rebel! Therefore, with this power to recruit troops independently, Pei Renji can also restore the strength of the counterinsurgency army in the shortest possible time!

Fang Xuanling and Eldest Sun Wuji both nodded, such a result could not be better for Wan He! Whether it is the eldest grandson Hengan or Pei Renji, these two people are listening to Wanhe, if there is really something, Wanhe raises his arms, the eldest grandson Hengan and Pei Renji will definitely respond, and then Hebei and Henan will directly belong to Wanhe! Of course, this premise is that the eldest grandson Hengan and Pei Renji can occupy an advantage in Hebei and Henan! From the current point of view, the eldest grandson Hengan is no problem, but Pei Renji's side, facing Wagangzhai, which has just won and has a positive momentum, is a little insufficient!

Fang Xuanling's eyes narrowed into a slit and said, "From the sergeant who sent General Qin over, I always felt that something was wrong with it!" Although Zhang Dashuai advocates that the soldiers are expensive and fast, it does not mean that he will be greedy for merit! Pursuing the thieves all the way from Luokoucang to the Great Sea Temple, this is not Zhang Dashuai's style of using soldiers! There's definitely something in it that we don't know! ”

Fang Xuanling's words were also recognized by the eldest grandson Wuji, but the intelligence information they got was too little, and they couldn't find out the truth at all. Wan He shook his head, it's useless to say this matter now, Zhang Xutuo has been killed in battle, even if it is traced, Zhang Xutuo will not be able to come back from the dead, and then, Wan He said again: "That's right! In the early days of the dynasty today, Yuwenshu suddenly proposed to build a dragon boat, and got the consent of the Son of Heaven! Cui Minxiang retorted, but he was scolded by the Son of Heaven and driven out of the palace directly! ”

"Build a dragon boat?" Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji shouted almost at the same time, and then the two glanced at each other, their faces were full of worry, and finally Fang Xuanling sighed, shook his head and said: "This has just experienced the defeat of the Great Sea Temple, and the Son of Heaven is still thinking about going south!" is so poor and extravagant, how can this Great Sui not finish? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji also shook his head with a wry smile, his father, the eldest grandson, was loyal to the Great Sui all his life, and the eldest brother was killed by the King of Han in the rebellion of the Han Dynasty in order to be loyal to the Great Sui! But the king supported by the eldest grandson's family turned out to be such a faint monarch, which made the eldest grandson Wuji's heart more bitter than others! The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head and said, "I just dispelled the idea of the Eastern Expedition, and now I want to tour the south again!" Our Holy One is truly a Lord who will not stop! ”

Fang Xuanling and Eldest Sun Wuji are like this, and Pei Xingyan is a question mark, and although Wan He's face has not changed, his heart has been turned upside down! He knew from the history textbooks of later generations that Yang Guang finally went south to Jiangdu and was strangled to death by Yu Wenhua! But Fang Xuanling and eldest grandson Wuji guessed that Yang Guang was going to tour the south just by just a few words, this is a real skill! However, shock is shock, Wan He has long known that these two are not ordinary people, so he quickly regained his composure, and said in a deep voice: "If the Son of Heaven really patrols the south, according to the two of them, should we follow?" ”

Originally, according to Wanhe's meaning, he naturally didn't want to follow Yang Guang to any Jiangdu! He knew that Yang Guang was gone, and it would be bloody! But now Wan He's thoughts are different, as he stays longer and longer in this era, he has a clearer understanding of the situation in this era. Although going to Jiangdu is a bloody storm, it is not a good thing to stay in this eastern capital! As the capital of the Great Sui, in the eyes of bandits from all walks of life, it is a big piece of fat! If Yang Guang goes to Jiangdu, the Imperial Forest Army stationed in the eastern capital will definitely be taken away, and when the time comes, what will this eastern capital take to defend against those bandits who come to hear the wind? Historically, it seems that this Eastern Capital changed hands several times before it finally fell into the hands of Li Tang! During this period, what kind of looting did the Eastern Capital encounter, Wan He did not know, so it was not very safe to stay in the Eastern Capital.
