"What did uncle say, if it wasn't for the military situation with you that day, the little nephew would not have thought of this, the important thing is that I am young now, and I don't want to be too showy." Speaking of which, I secretly looked at the old fellow.

Sure enough, the old guy looked at me with more and more pleasant eyes. "It's rare, victory is not arrogant, defeat is not discouraged, out of surprise, begging for hundreds of thousands of soldiers of my Great Sui, but without credit, such a character should be comparable to the ancients."

Hurry up and invite this old guy to taste other delicacies, so that he can save the skinless and faceless praise that his old face is blushing. Although I made the suggestion, it was because I knew the truth of the history of the Dao, if this son was not a traverser, I am afraid that at most he would be a hot-blooded young man of the Great Sui Dynasty, where could he be like a god and scheming like a god today.

"According to your opinion, if my Great Sui conquers Goguryeo again, can I win." After pouring two glasses of wine and eating half a plate of roast duck and two plates of green vegetables, Yang Xiong asked me while calling for food.

seemed to ask casually, but when I heard these words in my ears, they were very clear, it seemed that Yang Guang was really unwilling, or rather, he was still unwilling to return home.

"Could it be that the Son of Heaven is already interested in conquering Goguryeo again?" I asked rhetorically, pretending to be confused.

Yang Xiong sighed lightly. "The Son of Heaven asked the important ministers yesterday, intending to raise troops at the end of spring next year and conquer Goguryeo again, but everyone's persuasion is useless......"

"Well...... this" I thought about it and said slowly: "If the Son of Heaven can know the mistakes of Lu Dao's northern expedition to Goguryeo, perhaps, it can be decided in a battle." ”

"Perhaps?" Yang Xiong's eyelids rolled, and the light flashed in his eyes. "The virtuous nephew is still not optimistic about the Son of Heaven's expedition to Goguryeo?"

"Uncle must also know the cause of the Shandong Rebellion, in the seventh year of the Great Cause, there were major floods in Shandong, Henan and other places, flooding more than 3 counties; The following year, another major drought occurred in Shandong, coupled with an epidemic of boils, and the disaster was extremely serious. The originally rich Shandong can be described as full of devastation. However, in order to conquer Goguryeo in the east, the Son of Heaven added a military government in this area, swept the floor for soldiers, and most of the strong men were conscripted as soldiers. ”

"Yes, the soldiers recruited in Shandong are nearly 500,000, and in addition, the labor made in Donglai is like this, and the horses are raised for military service. The people were also sent to transport rice, accumulated in Luhe and Huaiyuan two towns, the carts and cattle did not return, more than half of the soldiers died, the cultivation was lost, and the fields were deserted. Coupled with famine, Gu Xiu is expensive, especially in the northeast, and the rice is hundreds of dollars. The rice transported may be rough and evil, so that the people will pay for it. More than 600,000 deer coachmen, two people pushed rice and three stones, the road is dangerous, not enough to fill the grain, to the town, there is nothing to lose, all afraid of crime and death. ”

Yang Xiong's face became more and more ugly. He smiled bitterly to himself: "If you conquer Goguryeo again, the people of Shandong will inevitably be poor and exhausted, and when the time comes, I am afraid that the momentum of Wang Bo and others will only get bigger and bigger." ”

After talking for a long time, they could only look at each other blankly, and Yang Guang's insistence on conquering Goguryeo again seemed to me to be completely an idiotic act of disregarding the people's strength, financial resources, and national strength. But he insisted on doing it, and it was useless to persuade many important ministers, who could help it?

"At this moment, the Son of Heaven does not want to recruit troops in Shandong and Hebei, but wants to recruit soldiers from Luoyang, Chang'an and other places." Guande Wang Yang Xiong's words made my heart skip a beat. Sure enough, it began, and I remember that Liu Hongji's gang in history was to avoid military service, and specially slaughtered cattle privately, and hid in prison to avoid the battle of the Northern Expedition to Goguryeo

"That's it, let's not talk about such state affairs, it will only make people anxious, the old man has an idea, today, I came to ask Yu Xian's nephew." Yang Xiong narrowed his eyes and said solemnly.

"Please also ask my uncle to tell me directly."

"The talent of the virtuous nephew, the old man sees it in his eyes, I don't know if the virtuous nephew is interested in joining the office?" Yang Xiong stared at me with his eyes fixed, and said word by word.

"Join?" It took me about a third of a second to react, and entering the office means being an official, and my son couldn't help but hesitate a little. "The little nephew is sixteen years old."

"It doesn't matter, if the virtuous nephew is willing, the old man is willing to say the item in front of the Son of Heaven, with the talent of the virtuous nephew, presumably the Son of Heaven can also know people well." Yang Xiong saw that I had no intention of refusing, and the smile on his face couldn't help but increase a little more, stroking his snow-white long beard and smiling.

"This ...... According to my uncle's opinion, I think the little nephew can afford what kind of position. I touched my smooth chin and asked cautiously.

"The virtuous nephew is literary and martial, all of them are attained, they can be good in the army, and the state and county can be capable ministers, why, could it be that the virtuous nephew already has a plan in his heart?" The old man looked at me with a smile, his eyes lit up.

"If you say that you are an official, the little nephew is really willing to guard the pastoral place for the Son of Heaven and do more practical things for the people, as for the military, it is really not what the little nephew is good at." I thought about it for a long time, but I decided to tell the truth.

"I'm afraid it's a virtuous nephew, you are not optimistic about the northern expedition of the Son of Heaven, right?" The old fellow smiled wickedly. didn't wait for me to say anything, he waved his hand: "Don't worry, the old man will naturally not say this." Wait a minute, the old man has a chance, and he should recommend talents for the country. ”

"That being the case, the little nephew is here to thank my uncle." Hearing this, my son was overjoyed, and on the surface, he naturally expressed my gratitude to this old fellow very modestly and respectfully. At the same time, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, what I was most afraid of was that this old guy recommended me to join the army.

Not for anything else, just because Yang Guang wanted to go crazy and continue to conquer Goguryeo, and Shandong was erosive, and there were many places to use troops at that time.

Therefore, to be a military attaché, it is better to be a civil official, to be a civil official, it is better to be an official who governs the people, just with the family soldiers and troops of this son, and when the Sui Dynasty is in turmoil, how can he defend the land, and he also belongs to the lord who cuts the land and stands on his own, which is much happier than being in the army.

After having a meal with this old guy, and then respectfully sending him out of the Quanjude Hotel, Ben Gongzi climbed back to the shareholders' private room on the third floor, and just walked outside the private room, he heard a faint singing voice from the private room, Ben Gongzi's footsteps couldn't help but stagnate, the melody was too familiar.

Listen carefully, it's actually my sister who is singing the "Laughing Red Dust" I sang that day, I didn't expect my sister to have such a good memory, I heard me sing it here once, at home, after forcing me to sing it twice, she is singing now, and it is the same as what I sang, without the slightest note, including the lyrics are all right.

"How's it going, did you write it down?" After the last note of the last one was scattered, the girl's voice sounded again.

"Well, okay, it's all written down, Xie Lu thanks you for being innocent." This voice was actually Li Yaoguang. What the hell are these two girls, just when Ben Gongzi wanted to continue eavesdropping, he heard a cough, and when Ben Gongzi turned around, he saw Ma Sanbao squatting behind my ass, holding two jars of wine in his hand, with a strange face.

"Mmmm, my son dropped something and was picking it up, where did you come from?" Ben Gongzi quickly stood up straight, patted the dust on his cuffs, and asked this guy with a serious face.

"The little one went to fetch wine for the third lady, when did you come?" Ma Sanbao laughed twice, with a face of gossip, and Lao Tzu wanted to kick him down the stairs and roll back to the bottom of the building.

"You call me the auxiliary machine boy again, believe it or not, Lao Tzu beats you" What this son hates the most is that others call me this broken name, especially the tone is not standard, it is easy for people to hear as a son of abdominal muscles, although this son admits that he has been exercising for a long time and has a developed, eight-piece abdominal muscles, but he can't take advantage of this

"Uh, damn it, damn it, Mowgli Child, please hurry up, it's freezing outside here, it's not good to stay for a long time." Ma Sanbao's face froze, and he hurriedly laughed.
