On the eve of the 205 war
Li Jing and Luo Yi heard that Yang Guang intended to go to the polo team, and they didn't dare to rush back at the moment, after all, the location of the polo team was still some distance away, and they had the obligation to be the emperor's leading party, or rather, the pioneer.
The two stood under Liuhe City and waited for Yang Guang to change his clothes, while Princess Nanyang and Yu Wenshi hugged and cried on the side; As for Yu Wenhua, he had already been frightened and incontinent, he had offended Yang Guang several times before, but only this time made him realize the preciousness of life.
After sobering up, Yu Wenhua and found that he had become Yu Wenshu's house slave, he was a little dumbfounded, but the seeds of hatred had been planted deeply, and he, like Yu Wenshu, already hated the Tuyuhun people, of course, they would not forget who had sabotaged their smuggling.
"Come to Hu'er, wait and see!" Yu Wenhua gritted his teeth to cheer himself up, but he found that he couldn't stand up.
Lai Hu'er was about to leave to deal with the stolen goods traded between the Yuwen family and the Tuyuhun people, and at this time he seemed to feel something, and couldn't help but glance back at Yu Wenhua in the distance.
"Father, are you alright? Yuwen Chengdu arrived in time, and he was followed by twelve brothers.
"Send me back." Yu Wenhua nodded with satisfaction and said happily.
Li Jing and Luo Yi, together with Yuwen Chengdu and the others, nodded and watched them arrive wistfully, and then left.
They have been teammates for more than three months, squandering their youth and sweat for the same goal, but their positions have always been different, and they even almost staged a life-and-death battle in the Valley of Refuge; Now that everything is over, they no longer have a common goal, they can only be eternal enemies.
"We're just waiting here?" Luo Yi was already covered in injuries when he broke through the ambush circle of Duji, and at this time, the cool breeze was blowing, and he trembled involuntarily.
"Looks like we'll have to wait." Li Jing nodded, he had already seen the car of Qimin Khan and Princess Yicheng who were approaching quickly.
Luo Yi sighed, he really wanted to close his eyes and rest for a while, he was really tired.
When he was just about to fall asleep, he felt Li Jing pat him on the shoulder and whispered, "Qimin Khan is gone." ”
"So fast?" Luo Yi raised his head in disbelief, but saw Qimin Khan walking down Liuhe City alone, and then his guards hugged him and escorted him away slowly.
"Li Jing, Luo Yi, you take me to see Su You." Qimin walked on the front foot, and Yang Guang got off Liuhe City on the back foot, and he saw the two polo players still waiting for him for the first time, so he greeted happily.
"Wechen obeys." Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and then agreed.
Yang Guang looked at the two of them and was about to continue to say something, but saw Yang Xuangan riding a fast horse and galloping over quickly; Yang Xuangan didn't seem to know that Yang Guang was about to go out, and when he rushed to the foot of Liuhe City, he realized that he almost crashed into Yang Guang's car.
"Your Majesty, the envoy of Tuyuhun presents the letter of state, please make a decision." Yang Xuangan turned over and dismounted, and came to Yang Guang's carriage in a few steps, and then presented a book and silk.
Do these people feel unfair to me? With this thought, Yang Guang took the letter in Yang Xuangan's hand expressionlessly.
Li Jing, Luo Yi and others were also stunned, they couldn't have imagined that the news of the Tuyuhun people would be so well-informed, and they would go to Guò Honglu Temple to find it for this little thing, but is this a bit of a fuss?
Li Jing looked at Yang Guang, thinking that he was going to have a seizure, but how did he know that the smile had already spread on his face?
"Is this a smiling anger?" The people around him thought so, even Yang Xuangan, who knew the content of the letter, felt that Yang Guang's expression was a little incredible, what he brought was a letter for help from the Tuyuhun people, could it be that this letter had long been expected by Yang Guang?
"Xue Aiqing, what do you think?" Yang Guang thought for a while and made up his mind, and then handed the letter to Xue Shixiong.
Xue Shixiong was stunned for a moment, it stands to reason that he is not qualified to touch this kind of thing at his level, but what Yang Guang forced into him, how could he back down? He trembled and spread it out, and after reading it, he couldn't help but sigh lightly, "It turns out that Tuyuhun was invaded by the Tiele Department and is about to become a slave of the country." ”
Tuyuhun Plain is the northern Xianbei, a hundred years ago after several migrations settled in the West Sea Wasteland, since then this tribe has been called Tuyuhun, they have been plundering the Hexi Corridor and forcing the countries of the Western Regions to pay tribute for many years. Today, the capital city of Fuai has gathered a large number of people, and a large number of Western Regions states have become their trading partners.
The Tiele Department, that is, the country of Gaoche, was originally a country that did not get along with the old and dead of the Great Sui, but now it has attacked Tuyuhun under Pei Shiju's three-inch tongue; Murong Fuyun, the king of Tuyuhun Han, once sent his son Murong Shun to Chang'an as a hostage, so on the surface, the Great Sui and Tuyuhun have always maintained friendly diplomatic relations between the two countries.
At this time, Tuyuhun was invaded into the country by the Tiele people, and they immediately remembered to ask Yang Guang for help, but they couldn't have imagined that Yang Guang himself was the one who raised the butcher's knife to them.
"The Tuyuhun people are obedient to the Great Sui on the surface, but in fact they are unruly and untamable, and they often do some unseemly things to the small countries in the Western Regions, which has already aroused public indignation." Yang Guang thought that Xue Shixiong and other generals might not know what he meant, so he immediately set the tone of the strategy.
"Weichen is not talented, and he is willing to lead the army to 'reinforce' Tuyuhun." Xue Shixiong was blessed to the soul, and immediately asked for his life. He accentuated the word "reinforcements", obviously knowing what Yang Guang meant.
"Okay." Yang Guang took two steps forward, patted Xue Shixiong's shoulder, and instructed the chamberlain, "Come on, bring all my generals to Liuhe City, by the way, call Yuwenshu too." ”
Several chamberlains agreed one after another, and Yang Xuangan and Xue Shixiong had already stood up and bowed to the side.
Yang Guang looked at the sky, then looked at the people around him, finally sighed, and said helplessly, "It seems that I don't have time to see Su You, you help me take good care of Su You." ”
Li Jing didn't know how to answer, just bowed and nodded, ready to leave.
"Luo Yi, you are very good. The game is over, I wonder what your plans are for the future? The two were just about to turn around, but Yang Guang praised Luo Yi by name.
It's over?
Li Jing muttered, although he had long guessed that this ball game would definitely be coming to an end after today's reward, but at this time, listening to Yang Guang say it, he still didn't want to believe it, after it was over, there should be a new goal, but what could he do?
If Yang Guang is asking himself at this time, how should he answer?
"Thank you for the compliment. Weichen has no ambitions, if I am fortunate enough to serve the Great Sui, I am willing to do enough. Luo Yi was stunned for a moment, first thanked Yang Guang for his praise, and then responded lightly.
"Xue Aiqing, what do you think of this Luo Yi?" Yang Guang smiled slightly, how could he not know Luo Yi's duplicity?
"Righteous and courageous, not arrogant or impatient, very good." Xue Shixiong nodded, he had already known about Luo Yi from his five sons, but his comments were all from Luo Yi's expression today.
"The evaluation is very high, then Luo Yi will be under your account after today, he is only a feather cavalry captain today, but what I want to see in the future is General Luo Yi." Yang Guang nodded and said with a smile.
Xue Shixiong and Luo Yi listened to Yang Guang's words, and their spirits were shocked, it seems that Yang Guang has high expectations for them; Xue Shixiong is just a general now, and his subordinate Luo Yi will have to be a general in the future, so what will he be?
The two glanced at each other, and at the same time promised Yang Guang.
Subsequently, Yang Guang returned to Liuhe City, and the generals of the Twelve Guards went to Liuhe City one after another, and Li Jing and Luo Yi quickly returned to the team's residence; The difference is that Luo Yi began to pack his things and prepare to go out with Xue Shixiong, while Li Jing ran to Su You's hospital bed as soon as possible.
"Hengbo, Hengbo, you're really scared to death." Li Jing looked at Su You, who had just finished cleaning his wounds, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Blame me for not taking Duji too seriously, I deserve to suffer a loss and buy a lesson." Su You smiled bitterly, and said with some excitement, "Fortunately, it happened that the Yuwen family was pulled off the horse." ”
"I'm afraid that the day when they will make a comeback is not far away." Li Jing said worriedly.
"How so?" Su You was a little stunned, although he knew that in normal history, Yu Wenhua had offended Yang Guang several times, and finally killed the emperor several times, but he didn't believe that this stage of victory would be so short.
"Tuyuhun Fu'e City North Tiele raided, Fuyun Khan asked His Majesty for reinforcements, His Majesty Xià most likely intended to write about it, so that the merit is better to use it." After Li Jing said this, he immediately told Su You what he had just seen and heard, naturally, there was also his speculation.
"Ziyan followed Xue Shixiong? I can't think of it, I can't think of it" After Su You heard the question and answer between Yang Guang and Xue Shixiong, he couldn't help but sigh, in normal history, Luo Yi was indeed Xue Shixiong's subordinate, and Luo Yi's ascendancy was because of Xue Shixiong's inexplicable death.
"Can't think of anything? Can't you think of it ending so soon? It's time to find your own future. Li Jing deliberately or unintentionally diverted the topic, it is understandable that Luo Yi has climbed to the top of the branch, and there is no other way for people of their status to quickly ascend to the position except to get the blue eyes of the leader.
Isn't Su You's experience the same?
"The Khan of Qimin is already on the verge of death, and if the Turks are in power in the future, he will inevitably not become the enemy of the Great Sui; In the future, the border between the two countries will not be as calm as it is now, Yakushi, your future is here. Su You listened to the sourness in Li Jing's words, how could he not know what he was thinking? He had long known that Li Jing was the god of war, and he also thought that his prestige would eventually be related to him.
It's just that my current strength is really okay?
"What are the plans of the cross wave?" Li Jing asked with a smile.
"Me? I wanted to stay by His Highness's side and eat and die, but I didn't get what I wanted; Now he can be valued by His Majesty, but he has offended more people. If it is possible, shepherd one side, or just be a rich man, and I will be enough. ”
"Your heart is really not big." Li Jing nodded.
