In the imperial study, Yang Guang stood in front of the window with a gloomy face, his eyes were as cold as ice, and he was still thinking about the proverb that had just circulated in the capital, "Li Fei Li, Yang Fei Yang, out of Jingxiang, the frontier, the Sui clan will destroy him as a general." ，

This is undoubtedly talking about Yang Yuanqing, could it be that Li Shixing is referring to Yang Yuanqing? Just half an hour ago, he received an express report from Yanmen County and Mayi County, and Yang Yuanqing's army appeared in these two counties, which made him furious, and immediately ordered Yu Wenshu and others to discuss sending troops to recruit Yang Yuanqing.

At this time, half an hour passed, Yang Guang also slowly calmed down, it is not impossible to conquer Yang Yuanqing, but it involves very problems, troops, supplies, troop routes, Turkic response, political influence, etc., he has to think clearly, the difficulty of attacking Yang Yuanqing is no less than attacking Goryeo, not the rabble of the Yuan family and Yang Xuangan, which can be defeated in one battle.

What's more important is that he can't afford to lose, if his army loses to Yang Yuanqing, how much damage will it bring to his prestige?

At this time, Yang Guang no longer had the pride and vigor that he had when he decided to attack Goryeo in the sixth year of the Great Cause, and now the world was in turmoil, the tide of rebellion was everywhere, the national strength was exhausted, the morale was low, and the social situation was unstable, which made him worry too much.

Yang Guang regretted a little, when Yang Yuanqing had just fled to Fengzhou, he should have taken the opportunity to kill him, but now the more it drags back, the more passive the situation becomes.

Behind Yang Guang stood Yu Shiji, Xiao Li and Yang Gongdao, Xiao Li is the younger brother of Empress Xiao, upright, and deeply trusted by Yang Guang.

At this time, Yu Wenshu and Fan Zigai walked in, and the two bowed and saluted, "See Your Majesty!" ”

Yang Guang glanced back at everyone, the seven phases came and the five phases came, except for Pei Ju and Pei Yun who did not inform them, everyone had arrived.

He slowly walked to the couch and sat on the falcon and nodded, "Two Aiqing are flat!" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, I summoned everyone here to discuss with you how to deal with Yang Yuanqing's expansion, this matter is very important, I don't want everyone to be silent, everyone Han wants to talk about it!"

"Your Majesty!"

The first one to speak was Yuwenshu, he took a step forward and said: "Before talking about Yang Yuanqing, the minister wants to talk about the popular proverb in the capital "Li Fei Li, Yang Fei Yang, out of Jingxiang, the frontier, the Sui clan perished him for the general" The minister thought that this proverb was a continuation of the previous proverb, it was very slightly obvious, Yang Yuanqing was the most suspicious, let's go back and look at Yang Yuanqing's expansion of power, of course, his excuse was to suppress bandits and defend against the Turks, but what is his real purpose?

The minister has always believed that what kind of father has what kind of son, just like Hu Sizheng who was executed by the saint, he is the grandson of Hu Sichun, so he will support the rebel and flee to Goryeo, and the ill-intentioned Yang Su gave birth to the rebel thief Yang Xuangan, so what kind of person will Yang Xuangan's son be, so the minister thinks that Yang Yuanqing is with different aspirations, he will rebel undoubtedly, and the court must use the thunder army to exterminate Yang Yuanqing, and can no longer give him a chance to develop and grow. ”

"The minister does not approve of General Yuwen's so-called Thunder Army!"

This is Fan Zigai's objection, Yu Wenshu was furious, and he retorted: "Fan Xiangguo, do you think Yang Yuanqing is not a rebel now, and the threat is not big enough?" Do you have to wait for him to seize Taiyuan before you think he is a rebel? ”

Fan Zigai smiled unhurriedly and said, "General Yuwen, listen to me finish speaking." ”

Yuwen Shu snorted heavily, stretched his face and stopped talking, Fan Zigai continued: "The minister also agrees to deal with Yang Yuanqing, but he does not approve of General Yuwen's so-called Thunder Army, Yang Yuanqing has been operating in Fengzhou for many years, the soldiers are full of food, and he himself has experienced a hundred battles, not the rabble of Yang Xuangan, which can not be exterminated one day, if he attacks him from the direction of Guanlong, he will cross multiple deserts in the middle, what about army supplies?" Of course, it is possible to build a supply depot, but how to defend against his cavalry? The minister's meaning is that he can fight, starting from Yulin, encroaching on the new city he built step by step to the west, using his new city as our supply city, and finally the army arrives in Fengzhou, and then Qu Tutong's army attacks him from Guanbei, and the hope of victory will be doubled. ”

In fact, Fan Zigai's opinion is no different from Yuwenshu's, but it is more detailed, he has always liked this, first step on others, and then express his opinion.

Yang Guang pondered for a moment, and then asked Yu Shiji, "How many troops can be transferred now?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, now the army is scattered all over the place to suppress the rebellion, there are 300,000 troops near the Beijing Division, including His Majesty's 100,000 forbidden army, 100,000 troops in Guanzhong, Qu Tutong took away 50,000, in fact, the Chang'an defenders are only 50,000."

Yang Guang was silent, and the strength was obviously insufficient, which made him hesitate a little, at this time, Yu Shiji said again: "If Your Majesty wants to attack Yang Yuanqing, the minister thinks that at least 300,000 troops will be needed, Fengzhou is far away, and another 500,000 people are still being levied to transport food and military materials, but the minister also wants to remind Your Majesty that once defeated, not only will all the food and military resources go to Fengzhou, but there will be no army in Luoyang." ”

Yu Shiji is not Yuwenshu after all, he doesn't want the Sui Dynasty to be destroyed, the three battles of Goryeo, the elite army of the Sui Dynasty was almost lost, and there is no strength to exterminate Yang Yuanqing again, of course, Yang Guang can pour out the army of the Beijing Division, but what about the Beijing Division? The rebel forces in the Central Plains are strong, don't even lose the nest, Yu Shiji implicitly reminded Yang Guang that now the imperial court is powerless to exterminate Yang Yuanqing.

Yang Guang understood what he meant, he sighed in his heart, and asked Xiao Li and Yang Gong again, "What about the opinions of the two of you?" ”

Xiao Li bowed and said: "The minister thought that this time Yang Yuanqing marched into Mayi County and Yanmen County, unlike the last time in Guanbei, he neither summoned officials to sign any agreement, nor did he garrison troops in the two counties, the minister felt that he was more of a temptation, at this time, as long as His Majesty had a tough attitude and ordered him to withdraw from Hedong, he should quit." ”

Next to him, Yang Gongdao also bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the minister agrees with Xiao Xiangguo's suggestion, in fact, Yang Yuanqing is expanding everywhere, to a large extent, His Majesty's attitude is not tough enough, and he is connived at, and Yang Yuanqing's route is to support Sui and stand on his own, Your Majesty can use his line to force him to show his original form, so that many soldiers and officials in Fengzhou will be separated from him, so that he will be divided internally, at that time, only Qu Tutong's army can pacify Fengzhou." ”

Yang Gongdao's opinion reached Yang Guang's heart, and he could directly declare Yang Yuanqing a rebel, but he was worried that Yang Yuanqing would rebel directly, but it would be difficult to clean up, and it would be better to disintegrate his army on the premise that he did not rebel.

Yang Guang asked again: "What method did the joint use to force him to reveal his original form?" ”

"It's very simple, Your Majesty can summon him to Beijing to report on his work, if he doesn't come, he can't explain to his subordinates."

Yu Wenshu said coldly: "Yang Shangshu is thinking too simply! Last year, the Holy Lord summoned him to Beijing to report on his work, and he wanted to say that the defense against the Turks did not come, but this time he said that he wanted to defend against the Turks, what should I do? ”

"Say no more!"

Yang Guang interrupted everyone's words, stood up and said coldly: "Lianyi has decided to tour Yulin north, see if he has any reason not to come to see Lian?" ”

In June of the 11th year of the Great Cause, Yang Guang, the Emperor of the Great Sui, ordered Fan Zigai to assist Yang Tong, the king of Yue, to stay in Beijing, and on June 15, 100,000 forbidden troops surrounded the holy car and went north.

Several knights rode into Taiyuan City, galloped all the way, and stopped in front of Li Yuan's mansion, the man wearing a golden crown and a brocade robe and a jade belt around his waist was Dugu Zhen's nephew Dugu Huaien, who came from the capital and came to deliver a letter to Li Yuan on the order of the head of the family.

Dugu Huaien turned over and dismounted in front of the steps, and said to the two attendants behind him, "Just wait for me at the door for a while." ”

He walked quickly to the steps, and as soon as he went up the steps, Li Jianwei walked out of the mansion quickly, and Li Jiancheng was surprised: "Huaien, why are you here?" ”

Li Jiancheng is a generation later than Dugu Huaien in terms of generation, but in fact, they are of the same age and have studied together since childhood, and the two have excellent American systems.

Dugu Huaien smiled: "I came to deliver the letter on the order of the head of the family, is your father here?" ”

"My father is in the military academy, and I'm about to go over, so you might as well go with me."

A subordinate brought the horse, Li Jiancheng also turned over on the horse, and then walked side by side towards the military academy.

Li Jiancheng was entrusted by his father and began to deal with things independently, and he often went to the capital to discuss things with Dugu's family and his uncle Li Shentong.

"Did something happen?" Li Jiancheng asked with concern.

Dugu Huaien also knew Ji Jiancheng's status, so he took out the letter and handed it to him, saying: "The Holy Lord has announced the Northern Tour, and he will arrive in Taiyuan in the near future, although the Holy Lord has turned the target of the proverb to Yang Yuanqing, but you still have to be cautious and not be careless. ”

Li Jiancheng nodded and said with a smile: "The heart of the monarch is unfathomable, he may not really turn the target of the proverb to Yang Yuanqing." ”

The two of them sped up their horses and ran towards the military academy.

The military academy is located in the south of the city, is the place where the soldiers of Taiyuan County will exercise, at this time thousands of county soldiers will gather on the school field, the crowd of people, shouting like thunder, on the school field, Li Yuan's third son, known as the "sick Lei Gong", Li Xuanba holds the Lei Gong sledgehammer, and fights the eighteen generals of the Taiyuan Army.

Li Xuanba is fifteen years old this year, six feet three tall, with broad shoulders and a thousand pounds of strength in his arms, but he looks a little deformed, his head is very small, and his broad shoulders are extremely incongruous, and he has a sharp beak and monkey gills, and his appearance is ugly.

He is very stupid, he is silent all day long, living in his own world, the laws of the world have no meaning to him, in the words of later generations, he is a typical autism, the world says he is stupid, but Li Yuan said that his son is normal, and everyone privately calls him 'Lei Gong idiot'

It is precisely because of his autism that he has an incomparable talent in martial arts, and under the careful teaching of Zhongwen, he has become a peerless general.

Li Xuanba is very proficient in both knife skills, lance techniques and marksmanship, but he himself likes to use a hammer, so Yu Zhongwen designed a kind of Lei Gong wolf tooth hammer for him, the hammer shape is like a waist drum, and there are three wolf tooth thorns on each side, which can hang the enemy's weapons flying.

As he grew up, the weight of the hammer also increased, at the beginning of last year, his martial arts broke through the stagnation period in one fell swoop, in just over a year, he grew a foot taller, his bones became thicker, his shoulders became wider, his arms were muscular, and the weight of his pair of thunder male wolf tooth hammers reached two hundred and sixty A pair of sledgehammers danced impermeable, and they were invincible all over Hedong.

Although Li Xuanba was almost demented in interpersonal communication and reading, he was extremely keen on the battlefield, seeing six ways, listening to all directions, and reacting as fast as lightning.

Li Yuan stood in the stands, and laughed proudly, he has Jiancheng and Shimin, and Wu has Xuanba and Yuanji, why worry about the balance?

Xiahou Duan, the deputy left-behind guard next to him, exclaimed: "Xuanba's martial arts are unparalleled in the world, and those who can compete with him in the world are probably only Yuwen Chengdu and Yang Yuanqing." ”

[In the fifteenth chapter of the previous volume, a small mistake was made, it should be the third son Xuanba, the fourth son Yuanji, it has been revised tomorrow Monday, don't forget to vote for the recommendation! ] 】
