At present, there are about 100,000 people in the army of Jiangdu, all of them are the most elite army of the Great Sui, distributed in Jiangdu County and Danyang County, of which 30,000 forbidden troops are stationed in Jiangdu City, the 30,000 forbidden army is also called the Xiaoguo Army, which is the elite of the Sui army, this elite does not refer to the strong combat effectiveness, but refers to the high quality of their equipment and treatment, the crown of the Great Sui army, the soldiers are all riding sweat and blood horses, equipped with spears and sabers, wearing blood-colored bright light armor, wearing a red gold leopard helmet, and the left arm is tattooed with a blood eagle as a logo.

The Xiaoguo army is mainly composed of Guanzhong and Luoyang people, and has an inextricable relationship with the Guanlong nobles, although the Turkic panic gradually subsided, but for the Guanlong children, there is another thought.

There is a liquor shop next to the west gate of Jiangdu, formerly called 'Huaiyangju', the shopkeeper is very business-minded, a month ago the liquor shop was renamed 'Chang'an Si', and the business was immediately booming, and the Xiaoguo soldiers who came here to eat and drink every day were endless.

At noon, in a private room on the second floor of Chang'ansi, there were more than a dozen Xiaoguo middle-level officers, these dozen officers were all Guan Long's disciples, the leader of the officer was named Dou Xian, the grandson of Dou Wei, the official was Hu Benlang general, and half of the remaining dozen officers were his subordinates.

There is also a civil official sitting next to him, who is the general as the young eunuch Yu Wen Zhiji, Yu Wen Zhihe is also a palace guard officer, and has a very good relationship with Dou Xian, and today he was pulled by Dou Xian to drink.

Everyone was in a bad mood, and they were all silently drinking stuffy wine, and Yuwen Zhihe saw that it was cold, so he smiled and said, "Have you seen today's edict?" It's fucking fun. ”

Xun servant Yang Shilan is Yu Wenzhi and his nephew, and he wanted to pat his uncle's ass, so he immediately smiled and said: "It's interesting, the saint wants to give a heavy reward, and he wants to double the pension, and he gets the favor, but the money has to be paid by Fengzhou himself." ”

Yuwen Zhihe stretched out his hand and slapped him on the scalp, "What else do you kid know besides money?" ”

Dou Xian next to him picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "The highlight of this edict is not the money, but the fact that Yang Yuanqing was not rewarded, and even the generals under Yang Yuanqing were all county dukes and county dukes." But coach Yang Yuanqing didn't say a word, isn't it interesting? Tell me why? ”

"Do you need to ask? The saint is disgusting Yang Yuanqing, sealing your soldiers and your generals, but he won't seal you, and let you jump to scold your mother. ”

Dou Xian shook his head, "I guess it's a little difficult to seal, Yang Yuanqing is already the Duke of Chu." There is no way to rise again. Can't you still crown him king? Zhiji, don't you say? ”

"I don't think it's hard to seal."

Yuwen Zhiji thought for a while and said: "Even if you don't make a knight, you can make him a loose official." Yang Yuanqing is only a Purple Gold Guanglu doctor now, and there are many levels on it! Left and right Guanglu doctors, Guanglu doctors, Kaifu Yi and the three divisions can all seal him. I think the Holy One is dissatisfied with his self-reliance, and this must be the reason. ”

Everyone was arguing and arguing, when someone outside the window shouted: "The hunter is back!" ”

Everyone in the room quieted down suddenly, and they all looked in, only to see Dugu Sheng, the general of the Tun Guard, coming back from outside the city with hundreds of cavalry, more than a dozen cavalrymen holding bamboo poles, each bamboo pole carrying several human heads, and dripping blood. The appearance is particularly hideous, this is the head of the Xiaoguo soldier who wants to escape back to Guanzhong, and was hunted down by Dugu Sheng.

Dugu Sheng is not a member of the Dugu family, his father's original surname was Li, he was Dugu Xin's general, and he was given the surname Dugu, and he was ordered by Yang Guang to hunt down the fugitive Xiaoguo. Quite productive.

Dou Xian looked at the bloody heads, his eyes were very complicated, he was also ready to flee, the Dou family took refuge in Li Yuan, and his grandfather Dou Wei sent someone to send a letter to him to go back as soon as possible. Although Dou Xian was not arrested for family matters, he had been deprived of military power. He knew that it was just that Yang Guang was afraid of causing a riot and did not kill him, and once the matter was provoked, Yang Guang would undoubtedly kill him.

Yuwen Zhihe patted him on the shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Is the plan going to change?" ”

Dou Xian shook his head, "No! Those who were caught must go through a few, most of them escaped, and I still have to go, and I will leave tonight. ”

"Alright! Then I wish you a smooth journey. ”

Coming out of the wine shop, Yuwen Zhihe hurriedly came to Yuwen Mansion, since Yuwen Shu died in Guanzhong, Yang Guang took pity on Yu Wenshu's old merits, pardoned all his mistakes, and buried him with heavy seals, and loved Yu Wenshu's three sons, especially Yu Wenhua, not only did not cure him of the crime of deceiving the gate of Chang'an, but also reinstated his official, inherited his father's Duke of Xu Guo, and continued to serve as the general of Zuotun Wei and became one of the main leaders of the forbidden army.

Although Yu Wenshu died, Yu Wenhua did not forget his father's rebellion, and at present, his family is all gathered in several large farms in Danyang County, and the family has raised 30,000 soldiers, and his uncle Yu Wenxin is fully responsible.

Yu culture and waiting for the opportunity.

In the room, Yu Wenhua and his adviser Liu Qing discussed the timing of the army, Liu Qing is about forty years old, has been Yu Wenshu's staff, followed Yu Wenshu for 20 years, is very trusted by Yu Wenshu, after Yu Wenshu died, he turned to assist Yu Wenhua and.

Yu Wenhua has changed a lot after experiencing the arrest incident, at least he has become self-aware, he knows that his intelligence is not good, so he attaches great importance to the strategist Liu Qing, and almost obeys his words.

"Mr. said that this desertion incident is an opportunity to raise troops, let me give up Danyang to raise troops, I still don't understand a little, please Mr. elaborate."

Liu Qing smiled slightly: "Actually, it's very simple to say it thoroughly, at the beginning, hundreds or thousands of deserters may not affect the overall situation, but if there is a large-scale escape, such as tens of thousands of deserters, then there will be a situation where the entire Jiangdu army is about to collapse, at this time, General Yuwen raised his arms and was willing to take everyone back to Guanzhong, I want to take the identity of General Yuwen and the appeal of the Yuwen family, I will inevitably respond in groups, at that time, tens of thousands of elite soldiers are in hand, coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, command the world, who dares not to obey, This is more tall and more powerful than Danyang's army, what does General Yuwen think? ”

Yu Wenhua and silently, Danyang has been planning since his father, has been preparing for many years, and now he is ready to give up, which makes him really a little embarrassed.

Liu Qing understood his thoughts, so he took a step back and persuaded him: "Actually, I don't mean to give up Danyang, but to let Danyang slow down, get this head first, if this head can't succeed, it's too late to turn Danyang again." ”

Liu Qing's plan was acceptable to Yu Wenhua, and he left Danyang as a way out, so he nodded and smiled: "Okay!" I promise sir, then what should I do now? ”

"It's simple. I have two strategies to implement at the same time, the left is to spread rumors and incite soldiers to flee. ”

Yu Wenhua nodded, and asked again: "What about the right policy?" ”

"The right strategy is also very simple, buy the eunuchs in the palace, and keep abreast of Yang Guang's movements at any time."

While the two were talking, a guard reported at the door, "The third master is here!" ”

Yu Wen Zhi and Yu Culture and Consent. He pushed the door open. limped in, which is his usual style, and he doesn't like to report before coming in. has been criticized by his father, and he can't change it.

"Big brother, tell you something." Yu Wenzhi and Xing Chong Chong Road.

Yu Wenhua frowned. He also didn't like his brother's unscrupulous style, he was almost forty years old, and he was still so frizzy, he held back the anger in his heart and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Yuwen Zhihe nodded to Liu Qing, and said with a smile: "Dou Xian is going to take three hundred people to escape tonight, and he will leave as soon as it gets dark." ”

"Humph! Of course he wants to go, the Dou family has taken refuge in Li Yuan, if he doesn't go, it can only be a dead end. ”

Yu Wenhua is not very interested in the news of his brother. At this time, Liu Qing next to him rolled his eyes, thought about it, and hurriedly said to Yu Wenhua: "General Yuwen can immediately send Dou Xian to Yang Dian about Dou Xian's escape." ”

Yu Wenhua was puzzled, "Didn't Mr. say that he wanted to promote a larger escape?" Why do you want to denounce Dou Xian instead? ”

Liu Qing squinted his eyes and smiled: "Yang Guang killed Dou Xian, others would not think that Dou Xian was killed because he ran away, but would think that Yang Guang was cleaning up the Guanlong nobles who had taken refuge in Li Yuan." In this way, more people will flee in panic, and they are all Guanlong nobles who are in power. ”

The Yuwen brothers glanced at each other, and this plan was really vicious.

Liu Qing reminded him again: "General Yuwen must not come forward to report the matter, and he must ask others to report it." Otherwise, it will affect Xiaoguo's favor towards General Yuwen. ”

Hu Benlang and Dou Xian were not able to escape in the end, and were denounced by Qianniu Weiyu Wenxuan. The guards found in his room the letters written by Dou Wei to him and the plan and list of his plans to escape, the evidence was conclusive, Yang Guang was furious, and ordered Dou Xian and the three hundred people who were going to flee together to be beheaded.

Dou Xian was the highest-ranking official to be killed so far, causing a shock in the imperial court, and as Liu Qing expected, the government and the opposition began to panic.

Yu Shiji came directly to Yang Guang's imperial study after the early dynasty, he only heard about Dou Xian's killing in the early dynasty, and he immediately realized that something was wrong, in this way, it would only make more people afraid of absconding, and the saint made a mistake in dealing with this matter.

He came to the imperial study, and after waiting for a while, the eunuch Li Zhongliang walked out, nodded and smiled: "The Holy Lord let Yu Xiangguo in!" ”

"Thank you, father-in-law!"

Yu Shiji took out more than a dozen golden beans from his arms, stuffed them in his hands with a smile, and walked into the imperial study, Li Zhongliang squinted at a small handful of golden beans in his eyes, and his eyes smiled into a slit.

In the imperial study, Yu Shiji had already told Yang Guang about his worries, Yang Guang stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, and he didn't say a word for a long time, he was also a little annoyed in his heart, he was a little wrong.

"So how can this matter be saved?" Yang Guang finally admitted his mistake, which had never happened before.

"Your Majesty, since Dou Xian was killed because he escaped, Your Majesty can make public the evidence of his escape, so that everyone can understand that the real reason why he was killed has nothing to do with the Dou family's defection to Li Yuan."

Yang Guang nodded, "Yes, I'll leave this matter to you!" ”

Yu Shiji hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, the Xiaoguo soldiers fled largely because their families are in Chang'an, and their hearts are not in Jiangdu. ”

Yang Guang glanced back at him, "Then what should I do?" ”

"The minister suggested that the widows and unmarried women of Jiangdu should be married to Xiaoguo, so that they could hold their hearts."

Yang Guang pondered for a long time, and finally nodded, "I'm ready!" ”

[In history, the widow and unmarried woman of Jiangdu were assigned to Xiaoguo as their wives was actually Pei Ju's suggestion]
