Chapter 15: The Youth's Fierceness

Chapter 409: Young Shuangmeng

Early the next morning, 300,000 forbidden troops escorted Yang Guang, the emperor of the Great Sui, and thousands of civil and military officials to leave the Linshuo Palace and drive towards Liaodong. ()

Yang Yuanqing, the governor of Youzhou, and Li Yuan, the temporary Taishou, sent Yang Guang through Baoshui all the way before returning to Youzhou City.

"Li Yuanjun, this time the army left, Zhuojun finally quieted down, what do you want us to do next?"

On the way back to the city, Yang Yuanqing rode a horse and walked slowly with Li Yuan, discussing the next step.

Li Yuan looked at the endless fields that were left behind, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Now is supposed to be the busy season for farming, but if you look at these lands, hundreds of miles of land are barren, what should I do in the summer?" In my opinion, let's find a way to mobilize farmers to plant something! Otherwise, there will be a famine in Zhuojun in the summer, and the people's will will be unstable, which will affect the overall situation of the Liaodong Campaign! ”

"In fact, since the year before last, it began to be abandoned, many troops and people have been stationed for more than a year, most of the local farmers in Zhuo County have been concentrated to the west of the Yongji River, this land of hundreds of miles has been requisitioned by the imperial court, and now it is owned by the government, I suggest that Li Yuanjun can gather the displaced people to cultivate the land, and the government will exempt them from rent, which can not only make the land reclaimed, but also concentrate the displaced people, so as not to make them make trouble, what does Li Zhijun think?"

Li Yuan nodded, "This is a feasible way, but I am short of people." ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled, "Isn't it easy to ask for people?" Tomorrow I will send 500 soldiers to Li Yuanjun and listen to Li Yuanjun's orders. ”

Li Yuan was overjoyed, "Then thank you Mr. Yang." ”

"You don't have to be polite, stabilizing the situation in Zhuojun is not only Li Yuanjun's person, but I am also responsible."

The two talked quite closely, but they didn't mention anything about the past, and at this time, Li Yuan asked with concern: "Manager Yang, do you have anything to say about the last assassination?" ”

"It's over, at that time, Cui Taishou wrote a special song to report this matter to the saint, and it sank into the sea, as if nothing had happened. Templar,"

"I know a little bit about it."

Li Yuan pondered for a moment and said: "At that time, the Holy Lord asked the Cabinet Seven Ministers to discuss this matter, and I heard that the final result was that the Cabinet Seven Ministers vetoed Cui Taishou's recital, and they thought that the evidence against the Yuan family was insufficient. ”

"Actually, I also know that the assassination has nothing to do with the Yuan family, if the Yuan family wants to assassinate me, the assassin will not have any Yuan family tokens, and Yuan Min will not show his face, it must not be the Yuan family."

"Could that be the work of bandits like Wang Basu and Lu Mingyue?" Li Yuan asked again.

Yang Yuanqing smiled, "It's also possible, when it comes to bandits, I have to consider taking advantage of the opportunity of the Holy Expedition to Liaodong to raze these two bandits, and I must not let them sit big in Youzhou."

When the two were talking, two knights galloped in front of them, the horses were extremely fast, Yang Yuanqing could see clearly, they were two young generals, and there was a young general behind them, and he heard them shouting from afar: "Daddy!" ”

Li Yuan laughed, "These are my two dogs, Yuanji and Xuanba, here." ”

Yang Yuanqing was in good spirits, did Li Yuanji and Li Xuanba come? Does he know that Li Yuan had a sick son named Xuanba in history, who died at the age of sixteen or seventeen, is this the young man in front of him?

Two young generals galloped in, one tall and one short, only twelve or thirteen years old, the front one was nearly six feet tall, a pair of leopard eyes, dark skin, wearing a golden crown, wearing fine silver armor, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, this person is Li Yuanji, the third son of Li Yuanji, thirteen years old this year, under the tutelage of Changsun Sheng, skilled in archery and horse, strong in martial arts.

Yang Yuanqing had heard of him, he was very famous in the capital, and he was nicknamed 'Little LΓΌ Bu', although "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was written later, but the folklore about LΓΌ Bu had been circulated in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

The back person is half a head shorter than Li Yuanji, with a sharp beak and monkey gills, a yellow complexion, a sick face, he looks a little deformed, his head is very small, his shoulders are extremely wide, his arms are thick, and he seems to be infinitely powerful, he is Li Yuan's fourth son Li Xuanba, only twelve years old this year, born with brute force, also has a nickname, called 'Sick Lei Gong', his pair of weapons is the Lei Gong Hammer, because of his youth, his two Lei Gong Hammers only weigh 100 catties.

Li Xuanba is a fetal disease, congenital insufficiency, named doctor Sun Simiao to treat, the disease is cured, but the sequelae left by congenital insufficiency can not be cured, so that he is deformed, his mind is a little dull, but he has a talent for martial arts, was favored by Yu Zhongwen, accepted him as a disciple at the age of five, and learned a strong martial arts. ,

Li Yuan's five sons have their own characteristics, the eldest son Jiancheng Xuewen, the second son Shimin Wenwu Shuangquan, the third son Yuanji and the fourth son Xuanba practice martial arts, and the fifth son Zhiyun is also a scholar, these five sons have always been Li Yuan's pride.

"See Father!"

Li Yuanji was heroic and high-spirited, but Li Xuanba was a little wooden, learning etiquette from his brother in a daze, and said in an urn voice: "See my father!" ”

Li Yuan is the most rebuilt, the most like the people, the most distressed Xuanba, but the average to Yuanji, he feels that Yuanji is a little cunning, and takes Xuanba out to cause trouble all day long, but finally puts the responsibility on Xuanba, which makes Li Yuan very annoyed, so he does not allow Xuanba to follow him again, but gives Xuanba to his son-in-law Chai Shao, and the young general behind is his son-in-law Chai Shao, who is the general of the Eagle Strike, and is also transferred to Zhuo County, Li Yuan left the military department, and Chai Shao was left to guard the granary of Zhuo County.

"Did you give Mr. Yang a salute?" Li Yuan's face sank.

Li Yuanji hurriedly gave Yang Yuanqing a salute, "See Manager Yang!" ”

Li Xuanba also followed awkwardly behind, and said angrily: "See Manager Yang!" ”

Yang Yuanqing laughed, "Two virtuous brothers are exempt!" ”

He reached into the horse bag and touched it, took out a horizontal knife, and said with a smile: "This is made of star iron obtained from the Extreme Northern Grassland, it is quite sharp, this knife will be given to the youngest person!" ”

He handed the knife to Li Xuanba, Li Xuanba was overjoyed, took the knife and pulled out half of it, only to see that the blade was sharp, and it was abnormally sharp, he immediately couldn't put it down, pulled out the knife and ran out to shout and chop, but forgot to say thank you to Yang Yuanqing.

Li Yuan said apologetically: "This kid is relatively dull, and Mr. Yang is not strange." ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled slightly, "Xuanba is simple and natural, I like him a lot." ”

Yang Yuanqing saw a hint of jealousy flashing in Yuanji's eyes, so he smiled and said, "I'm sorry today, I only have a knife by my side, I'll give it to you next time." ”

Li Yuanji turned his head and said proudly: "I have my own knife, don't send it to Manager Yang!" ”

Li Yuan was furious, and he whipped his head away, pointed at Yuan Ji and scolded: "Rebel who doesn't know how to be polite, don't apologize to Manager Yang soon!" ”

Li Yuanji bit his lip tightly, but refused to apologize, Li Yuan couldn't hold his face, he became more and more angry, and he whipped it away again, but Yang Yuanqing stopped Li Yuan's arm and said with a smile: "Li Yuanjun, it's a trivial matter, why be angry." ”

Chai Shao hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few words to Li Yuanji, and Li Yuanji stepped forward to give a salute, "Yuanji is rude, please forgive me from Manager Yang." ”

Li Yuan saw that his son apologized, so he was a little angry and glared at him fiercely, but Li Yuanji said again: "I have heard for a long time that Mr. Yang is skilled in archery, and Yuanji wants to ask for advice." ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled dumbly, this Li Yuanji is quite interesting, quite similar to his youth, a little more vigorous, Li Yuan was about to scold, but Yang Yuanqing stopped him, smiled and said: "There are many people in our army who are skilled in archery, if Yuanji is interested, you might as well come to my military camp tomorrow and compete with my sons." ”

Li Yuanji didn't understand Yang Yuanqing's words, he was a young man, and immediately agreed, "Okay!" I must come tomorrow, if Mr. Yang's subordinates can't do it, I am willing to ask Mr. Yang for advice! ”

"No problem."

Yang Yuanqing turned back to Li Yuan and smiled: "Ling Lang is really interesting, I like it a lot." ”

Li Yuan smiled bitterly, speechless, Yang Yuanqing smiled, and urged the horse to go to Youzhou City.
