Chapter 55 - The Cut-off Party

This time it was only Xue Yantuo who violated the border of the Great Sui Dynasty, and it was impossible for their ears and eyes to penetrate so far into Luoyang. Even if Yuwenshu made a big publicity, it would take five or six days for the news to reach there, and it was absolutely impossible for Tiele to come and ask for surrender in just two days, this was just their usual practice. I grabbed something first, and then I won the battle, and I should sell it when I took advantage of it.

However, the four words "looking at the wind and surrendering" in the Yuwen war report were well written, and Tie Le's request to surrender turned into the credit of Yang Guang's personal expedition. Historically, it was not until after Yu Wenshu's death that Yang Guangnian remembered his merits and pardoned Yu Wenhua and his brothers, but now he is happy and actually used them in advance. It was this seemingly insignificant decision that turned the entire course of history upside down.

Two days later, there was also good news from Yang Xuangan's side. Lu Mingyue's entire army was wiped out, but only a few thieves fled when they heard the news.

Luda's confession is very detailed, and the thieves in which county and county are the leader of the thieves and the number of thieves under his command are all clearly recorded. Yang Xuangan only needs to follow the map, and he will naturally be caught. But Yang Xuangan knows Yang Guang's character better, in addition to his great achievements, he is also in a hurry. In order to show himself in front of Yang Guang, Yang Xuangan must put down the rebellion as soon as possible.

The Yang family and Lu Mingyue had already secretly communicated with each other, and before the army set off, they had already revealed the news to Lu Mingyue. Lu Mingyue reciprocated the favor by gathering thieves from all over the country, so that Yang Xuangan could "catch them all", but he himself fled with a few henchmen. However, Lu Mingyue also hated the Xie family in Jiangnan because of this.

Almost on the same day, the prisoners of the Jiangnan Wang family were also escorted to Luoyang, which was also indispensable to Yang Wanxiang's "timely" mobilization of government soldiers.

Yang Guang naturally rewarded him again, rewarded Yang Xuangan with thousands of colored satins, moved Yang Wanxiang to the Tiger Benlang General, and went to work after the year. Although he is also a general, General Ying Yanglang can only temporarily transfer troops, and has no actual military power. And the status of General Hu Benlang is second only to the general, and he is still above General Hu Yalang, holding heavy troops, which is far from being comparable to General Yingyanglang.

Yu Wenshu had been pressed under Yang Su back then, so he naturally didn't want to see the Yang family regain power. This time he supported Yang Guang's personal expedition, and Yuwenshu tasted the sweetness. Therefore, he made a statement to Yang Guang, first explaining some benefits brought to the imperial court after the opening of the Tongji Canal and Hangou, praising Yang Guang's great achievements, and then proposing to excavate the Yongji Canal that reached Zhuo County.

Yang Guang really adopted his opinion, and issued an order on the sixth day of the lunar month to requisition more than one million men and women in Hebei counties to dig the Yongji Canal.

Not to be outdone, Yang Xuangan immediately proposed to dig the Jiangnan Canal that reached Huiji County at the same time to connect the Yangtze River with the Qiantang River.

Originally, Yang Guang still had some doubts about the two major projects being launched at the same time. However, the opening of the Jiangnan Canal had no disadvantages for the Yang family's salt field in Yuhang, and Yang Xuangan launched a group of civil and military forces to speak one after another. Therefore, Yang Guang issued an order on the tenth day of the lunar month to collect 300,000 people from the counties in the south of the Yangtze River and dig the Jiangnan Canal.

Yang Guang adhered to his usual style, but for these two huge tasks, the deadline given was only a short three months. Now it is a cold winter, Jiangnan is better, but the land in Hebei has been frozen stiff, and the project is very difficult.

Hundreds of people were beaten to death every day, and countless others died of cold, tired, and disease, and the people's resentment boiled for a while.

Of course, these news could not reach Yang Guang's ears, he sang and danced all day long, drunk and dreamed of death, and all he heard was beautiful words.

Suddenly, a report came from the border gate, and Tuyuhun came to intrude on the border again. The Tuyuhun people are descendants of the Xianbei people of Liaodong, and like the Turks, they are also mainly nomadic, and whenever winter and spring turn around, they will raid the border of the Han people, rob property, and plunder slaves.

Yang Guang was angry, and he wanted to drive the expedition again.

Now that the Spring Festival is approaching, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty do not want to go on an expedition, and they have advised one after another.

Yuwen Shu has been fighting for many years, and he knows that this is not the time to use troops, but he knows the consequences of disobeying Yang Guang, so he said: "Your Majesty, Tuyuhun dares to repeatedly offend my Great Sui, and it must not be spared!" The minister thought that the emperor should be on the expedition, but he was just ......"

Yang Guang said unhappily: "Just what? ”

Yuwen Shu bowed and said: "It's just that if you don't fight, you must completely destroy it!" Therefore, the minister asked the emperor to gather soldiers to die in Henan, strictly practice, and send troops to attack it again in the spring of next year, which can ensure victory! ”

It was common for the nomadic tribes on the steppe to attack the border, even if the imperial court sent troops to counterattack, it only forced them to retreat, and there was never a situation where a nation was completely wiped out, and even the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only divided the Xiongnu into two and forced them to leave.

Although Tuyuhun is not as powerful as the Xiongnu in the Han Dynasty, if they can be completely eliminated, it can be regarded as an immortal achievement.

After listening to Yu Wenshu's suggestion, Yang Guang felt a little moved, his expression softened slightly, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Since Gao Gong and others were executed by Yang Guang on charges of defaming the imperial court, few people in the court have spoken out and admonished. Since this war will not be fought until the beginning of spring, everyone can have a stable year, who is willing to talk too much and please Yang Guang?

Yang Guang saw that everyone had no objections, and immediately issued an order to levy 300,000 troops, gather in Henan before the New Year, and practice first. This is just a matter for ordinary soldiers and middle- and lower-level officers, and there is no need for the civil and military forces in the court to be affected, so they naturally echo it.

……

It had just snowed heavily at night, and Changshan Village was clothed in a silver-white coat. In the fields, children run happily, have snowball fights, build snowmen, and enjoy their own happy fashion. This day of holiday was won by Liu Ziqiu for them to Wei Zheng.

Gao Xiu'er was wearing a brocade jacket, and was watching the children running all over the ground, and after being moistened by the rain and dew, her pretty face became more and more beautiful. Gao Xiu'er's slender jade hands would caress her abdomen from time to time, as if a little life was already pregnant there. It's only been ten days, even if she is pregnant with a child, it is impossible to change in the slightest, but Gao Xiuer just can't hide her inner expectations.

She obeyed Liu Ziqiu's words, but she refused to listen to his opinion on this matter. On the day Liu Ziqiu came back from Xie's house, he gave her a pair of medicine and asked her to fry it, but she didn't say what it was. But as soon as Gao Xiuer had time, she would look through the golden prescription left by Sun Simiao, carefully checked it, and found that this medicine turned out to be a prescription for cutting off.

The so-called cut-off formula is actually a contraceptive pill developed by Sun Simiao. Liu Ziqiu happened to see it when he was proofreading the manuscript, so he paid attention. He knew that Gao Xiu'er was still young, and it was easy to have dystocia if she gave birth too early, which was an extremely dangerous thing at that time, so he grabbed this medicine and came back. Gao Xiu'er's heart was full of puzzlement and sadness, but she still endured and finished decocting the medicine, but while Liu Ziqiu was not paying attention, she quietly poured it away, and didn't drink it at all.

At this time, there were bursts of shouting in the snow field in the distance, and more than a dozen big cars appeared in the field of vision, and the tall horse in the front was Liu Ziqiu, who was in the dust.

The small village a few miles away is called Fanjiashe, and Wei Zheng asked them for their opinions at the beginning, but they all said that they were inseparable from their homeland and were unwilling to move to Changshan Village. There are 25 families in Fan's house, and the land is pitiful, so life is naturally extremely difficult.

Liu Ziqiu, as a Lizheng, after returning from Xie's house, went to Fan's house and found that the villagers there could only feed their hunger with wild vegetables and grass roots. Now that it is snowing heavily, I am afraid that the grass roots and wild vegetables will not be able to dig up.

Therefore, Liu Ziqiu brought people to send them pork, white noodles, rice and fresh fish early in the morning, hoping that they would have a good New Year. Some villagers in Fanjiashe were finally moved by Liu Ziqiu's sincerity and promised to move into Changshan Village after the New Year.

The greatest wealth of the noble families is the large amount of land they control, but it is definitely not limited to the land, their industry has penetrated almost every aspect of social life. The Wang family is no exception, their roots are in Wu County, but other industries are all over the counties in the south of the Yangtze River.

This time, the Wang family was raided by the imperial court for the crime of treason, and the land and various properties were confiscated by the government, and the land could be used as official land, but other industries could not be operated by the government itself, and it would soon be auctioned publicly.

Liu Ziqiu intended to fill the gap left after the collapse of the Wang family, but he had limited financial resources and could not eat all these industries, so he only chose the carriage and horse business. It is extremely important to him that the chariots and horses travel from south to north, and the most well-informed is the most informed. Even if he had enough money to eat the Wang family's carriage and horse shop, Liu Ziqiu still needed enough manpower, which was why he suddenly changed his mind and let the Fan family house be merged into Changshan Village.

Seeing Gao Xiu'er standing at the entrance of the village, Liu Ziqiu couldn't help but clamp the horse's belly between his legs, and the horse "chirped" twice, spread its hooves and galloped wildly, leaving the convoy behind. When he got closer, Liu Ziqiu stretched out a hand and shouted, "Xiu'er, get on the horse!" ”

Now, Liu Ziqiu's riding skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and Gao Xiu'er's credit is naturally indispensable, and her riding skills are the best in the entire Changshan Village. Liu Ziqiu solved another big thing, he was in a good mood, and he wanted to relive the past when the two of them rode together a few months ago.

Gao Xiu'er whispered, "Lang Jun, the slave family wants to go back." ”

In fact, she wants to protect the little life in her belly who doesn't know if she has it, so she is willing to do such a dangerous action as riding a horse.

Liu Ziqiu smiled, turned over and dismounted, threw off the reins, the horse was free, ran happily on the snow for a few steps, and then buried his head in gnawing the snow on the ground. Liu Ziqiu had already taken Gao Xiu'er's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go home!" ”

When she went home, just two simple words, Gao Xiuer's heart was warm.

Suddenly, the horse raised its head and neighed. Behind the empty convoy, two horses galloped in, their hooves stamping on the snowfield, splashing with snowflakes.

Liu Ziqiu looked back, but it was Erzhuang and another villager who were sent to the county government to serve as a servant. These two horses were sent by Liu Ziqiu since he came back from the Xie family, just so that he could get the news from the county in time.

Er Zhuang also saw Liu Ziqiu and Gao Xiu'er standing at the entrance of the village, and couldn't help but flick the horsewhip fiercely, and shouted loudly: "Big cow, big cow, something is wrong!" ”
