Chapter 477: Yang Xiong's Intentions

Seeing Huang Linggong coming, he asked, "Huang Linggong, how is the construction of Wenxian Pavilion and Wuying Palace?" The lord is still waiting to use it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Hehe... You wine gourd, you think this is drawing a map, this is building a house, how can it be so fast, at least a few months later. ”

Huang Linggong came to the table and sat down, drank tea and said, "Besides, I don't have anything else to do?" Helping you build a house all day? ”

Han Ziyu said: "I can tell you, this is the first major thing at the moment, you have to hurry up." ”

Huang Ling said: "You still need to say that the construction is underway, and it is expected to be completed in three months, so you can see it then." ”

"Oh yes, in this scientific expedition, do you have a talent you like?"

"I haven't read the paper yet, how do I know?"

Huang Ling said fairly: "I mean, can there be a name that is particularly famous?" For example, Kaiyuan Bajie? ”

"Poof..."

Han Ziyu took a sip of tea: "Do you think Kaiyuan Bajie is radish and cabbage?" Come on? ”

"Besides, don't say it's the eight masters of Kaiyuan, even if it's a little famous, he has to change his name and come to the scientific examination to show his true ability, if the article is not selected, he will not lose face, I know this best, if he wins, hehe... It also shows that people are low-key, relying on real skills. ”

Huang Linggong laughed: "Ziyu, you really have figured out the thoughts of those literati. ”

"Of course."

A smug look appeared on Han Ziyu's face.

Time passed minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, in the evening, Han Ziyu left the lobby and went to collect those test papers.

There were more than 1,000 copies in total, and they were all taken away by him and sealed in boxes. Then let those candidates go back first, and said that in three days, the names of the candidates admitted to the middle school will be posted and announced to the public.

After doing this, Han Ziyu returned to his house and brought back all the test papers.

For these test papers, Han Ziyu attaches special importance to them, and there are very many talented people in them, who are the hope after the opening of the Plains, and the officials who are about to form the Sixth Ministry, with these, he will not have to be so busy in the future.

.........

Western Xinjiang.

After Yang Xiong received the letter from Ling Feng, he was immediately furious.

Ling Feng said in the letter that Zhang Yan had already returned to Shun, and that he was a Kaiyuan soldier, and that if Yang Xiong asked for Zhang Yan again, he would be suspected of provoking a war, and in order to calm the anger in Yang Xiong's heart, and to apologize for Zhang Yan's attack on the Rushui military camp before, the captured 80,000 sailors could be returned.

On the surface, Ling Feng's words seemed to have done his best, and he had sent 80,000 people back, and he already had sincerity.

However, Yang Xiong was unhappy, in his words, Ling Feng didn't take him seriously at all, as if he was saying again, if you want to fight, you will fight, I Kaiyuan is not afraid of you in the Western Frontier!

Thinking of this meaning, how could Yang Xiong not be angry, however, after pondering it carefully, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Good, good... Ling Feng, even if you are ruthless, you dare not give me face! ”

"General, what do you want...?"

The generals on the side saw Yang Xiong's angry face, and immediately asked in surprise.

Yang Xiong waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't fight with him." ”

"Ling Feng is no longer what it used to be, his fierce generals are like clouds, strategists are like rain, hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, dominating the northern frontier and Kaiyuan, if there is a war between us, it must be a battle of the world, earth-shattering, if I am not completely sure, I will not make a move."

"From now on, though, I'll have to prepare..."

Yang Xiong stood up, walked back and forth in the hall, and said to himself: "Judging from his tone, it is very dangerous, and it may come at any time, if I don't prepare in advance, I'm afraid that I will be caught off guard." ”

Although these words were whispered, the surrounding generals still heard them, and one of them stood up and asked, "Lord, then I don't know how the lord should take precautions?" How to prepare? ”

Yang Xiong came to the position and sat down slowly, looked at a general on the left and asked, "Zayadu, how is the imperial capital built?" ”

Zaya is the first fierce general under Yang Xiong, who has followed Yang Xiong for more than three years, and was met by chance outside Yang Xiong's tour of the Western Regions three years ago.

However, there is one point, although Zaya is brave, he is brave and unscrupulous, and Yang Xiong has never dared to entrust him with important tasks, so he can only stay by his side.

Hearing this, Zayadu said: "My lord, the emperor was burned down, and the damage was too serious, and it has not been built yet. ”

Yang Xiong nodded and said, "I'm going to give you an important task now, will you take it?" ”

"My lord, please command."

Yang Xiong said: "I think..." ”

Speaking of this, Yang Xiong hesitated for a moment, and it seemed that he still had difficulty making up his mind, and finally looked at a scribe wearing a Confucian robe on the right and said, "Sun Wenyang." ”

"Humble duty."

"You also obey orders."

Zayadu and Sun Wenyang both stood up, their faces puzzled.

Yang Xiong said: "Listen to the order, Zayadu is the general of Zhenbei, leading an army of 300,000 to garrison the imperial capital, Sun Wenyang is the military advisor, assisting from the side, there must be no mistake; Remember, both of you, that you are not allowed to send troops or move without my orders! ”

The two of them were shocked, the 300,000 army, which was already most of the soldiers and horses in Western Xinjiang, was all transferred to the imperial capital, what was this for? Attack Ling Feng?

Yang Xiong knew everyone's doubts, and he said: "Don't worry, I'm just preparing, and I have no intention of going to war, even if I start a war, the time is not ripe now, and I have to wait." ”

Zayadu and Sun Wenyang arched their hands in unison: "The last general (minister) obeys the order." ”

Yang Xiong continued: "From now on, Western Xinjiang will begin to recruit troops, and another 300,000 new soldiers will be recruited, and the naval army will also be formed, and 200,000 naval troops will be deployed along the river, up to the border of Yuqinglong, and down to the border of Eastern Xinjiang, which must be closely defended. ”

Sun Wenyang exclaimed: "Lord, this... Isn't there a lot of soldiers recruited? 300,000 recruits, 200,000 sailors, plus the 300,000 imperial capital garrisons that I took away from Zayadu, this is 800,000, as well as my western border army in western Xinjiang, Jincheng garrison, and defenders from all over the country, this is almost a million, we can't afford it, right? ”

Indeed, with Yang Xiong's strength, he really can't afford to raise so much, Xijiang is not good at producing food, Xijiang is famous for war horses, and Xijiang horses are abundant.

With his current strength, he can only raise 500,000 at most, plus the hundreds of thousands of the little emperor some time ago, at most about 600,000, this is already the limit.

Yang Xiong said: "This is the reason why I sent you and Zaya to the imperial capital, the land in the imperial capital is fertile, which is larger than Kaiyuan, after you go, you will also give me tuntian, follow Ling Feng's example, I can't see that in a year, I will be able to supply the newly recruited 500,000 people." Besides, even if I can't afford it, it's okay, I'll find another way. My horses in the west are famous all over the world, if I sell this war horse to the anti-kings in the east and south of Xinjiang, do you say they will buy it? In exchange for grain, do they exchange it? ”

"Hehe... That's right. ”

Zaya smiled. expressed agreement with Yang Xiong's point of view. (To be continued.) )
