"Your Majesty! On the south bank of the Yangtze River, a ship from Chen Guo came to intercept a letter from Chen Guo, which claimed to be opened by His Majesty in person! ”

On the fifth day of Yuwen Shihong's arrival in Yangzhou, the reply he expected to receive was finally delivered.

opened the secret letter, and the content in it was not what Yuwen Shihong expected-

It has been decided that on the first day of February, the navy will raid Huaizhou, hoping that Zhou Guo will be successful in his word, and he will not lose his trust in Chen Guo.

Yuwen Shihong burned this unsigned letter immediately after reading it, and then took a pen to write a note, which melted into the wax pill, which was a wax book-

A top-secret form of communication in the military.

Yuwen Shihong handed the wax pill to the soldier who sent the letter in, and then ordered:

"I order you to arrive in Luoyang before tonight and hand over the wax book to Yang Jian, the commander of Luoyang Road."

"Yes!"

……

After Yang Jian returned to Luoyang from the desert, he couldn't sleep well almost every night.

If nothing else, I am very worried that Yang Shuang, who has been raised by himself and his wife since childhood, will encounter an accident in Mobei.

When he thought about it like this, Yang Jian stopped his bad conjectures again, so as not to be good and not bad.

During the day, he also had to carry out the military orders issued by Yuwen Shihong and train the 30,000 central forbidden troops transferred from Beijing.

He was no longer enthusiastic about leading his troops from Luoyang to the east to continue the campaign.

Seeing that Luoyang is a bit like the "Yongzhou" before he went to Chang'an, although the scale of Fang Street is only half.

But after all, Luoyang was the capital of the Han Dynasty, although the palace or something was burned down, but under the passage of more than 300 years, the repair of Luoyang sometimes has restored one or two points of the former national capital.

Thinking about it like this, his mind began to think about building a prosperous street like Chang'an in Luoyang.

After the unification of the Central Plains in the future, there is a precedent for the two kingdoms in ancient times.

"Eh, why do I always think about these things......

The thoughts in Yang Jian's mind were endless, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that he was actually thinking about these nonsense.

"Hey, I don't know what's wrong with my brother, my heart hurts quickly."

Yang Jian tried his best to control his mind and stop thinking nonsense, but he couldn't help but have some chaotic thoughts, which always flashed through his mind uncontrollably.

The main reason is that there is no news from Jingzhong to him, which makes him even more anxious!

"Your Excellency! Letter from Yangzhou! ”

Yang Jian, who was sitting in the training ground and supervising the drills of 30,000 subordinates, suddenly heard someone riding a horse in the distance.

Turning his head, the scout straddling the horse's back did not raise his flag, but raised his fist.

It was a gesture to deliver the top secret wax book, and he hurriedly stood up and greeted him respectfully.

After the scout handed out the wax pills, he didn't have any extra words, turned around and left.

Yang Jian hurriedly entered the tent and confirmed that there was no one around, before pinching the wax pill between his fingers and placing it on a fuel-saving lamp to roast and melt.

The Wax Book Secret –

On February 15, he marched from Luoyang to Liangzhou and raided Yanzhou.

“？？？”

"So suddenly?"

Yang Jian felt that he should be old, and he couldn't react to the news for a while.

Going to war?

Me, as the commander of the march?

He didn't know that Yuwen Shihong regarded the entire Central Plains as a chessboard.

He was transferred to Luoyang for the Battle of Yanzhou!

And sent Yang Jian and Tang Yong to raid Mobei in order to be one of the sixteen states of Yanyun that had been lost to the Turks since the Han Dynasty-

Youzhou area.

Yuwen Shihong has his own obsession, Youzhou is modern Beijing, how can he be so lost at the hands of barbarians!

It was even lost for more than three hundred years!

But that's still a later story, the reason why this move was deployed in Mobei so long in advance is to let the Turks suffer defeats for several years or even more than ten years!

Kill away their rampant arrogance!

The Turks call me the "children's country" in the Central Plains, so arrogant, don't give him a few years of great pain and ear scraping, advocating barbaric Turkic barbarians, it's hard to remember for a long time!

At the same time, hanging the Turks is also a deterrent -

Let the Qi State, which has always been willing to be a Turkic "children's country", see clearly the gap between itself and the Zhou State!

At the same time, there were two other barbarian states entrenched on the western border of the Zhou State, namely Tuyuhun and Dangxiang.

Beating the Turks is also a deterrent to their souls!

……

Late at night on the 30th day of the first lunar month, 200,000 soldiers in Yangzhou slept peacefully in their tents one after another.

"Whew-"

Suddenly, the horn of war sounded, and the sleepy-eyed soldiers were reflexively awakened by the horn and sat up, putting on their robes as fast as they could!

Always ready to go into battle!

In just a quarter of an hour, 200,000 troops were intensively assembled in Chengfang Street in Yangzhou under the leadership of three commanders.

Such a late night, such a large-scale movement, also woke up a large number of people in Yangzhou City.

Some of them poked their heads out and glanced at it, and when they saw this huge battle, they didn't know why, even if they didn't throw themselves into the battlefield!

The blood is also boiling inexplicably!

"Wow! It's going to be a tough battle! They have been stationed in Yangzhou for three months, right? I thought I wouldn't be able to fight. ”

"How can you not fight, the little emperor is not an ordinary person! He definitely has his plans! ”

"If you want me to see, it was deliberately stationed for so long, after all, Yangzhou is a border city, and the north is all the states and counties of Qi State, and there are four states, twenty or thirty counties, so you can't start a war rashly."

"That's right! After such a long time, those who served as soldiers in the Qi State must be similar to what we thought, thinking that they couldn't fight. ”

"At times like these! Sudden attack! It will only make them stunned by the beating! Except to run or run! ”

"I want to join the army! I'm so excited! ”

"You joined the army? Are you qualified to eat military rations, there is no military service law now, and if you want to be a recruiter, you can't just do it if you want to, you have to be a general! ”

"Hey, then I shouldn't do it, I plant ten acres of land, and I can earn more than 50,000 yuan a year! Don't pay yet! I also bought a bunch of farm tools at home! You don't have to pay for it to rent it with a hoe like you used to do in Qi country, and it costs ten yuan a day! In three months, it's more than a thousand dollars! ”

"It's better to hurry up! If there is a choice, I will definitely choose to farm in the Zhou country, and then let me go back to the Qi country, you might as well kill me, if you don't kill me, I will starve to death over there sooner or later. ”

"If I had known that they would have set off today, so much rice wine made at home would have been brought out for them to practice, oops."

"Who can drink enough of those jars in your house? People recruit soldiers to have a monthly service, and if you want to drink it, you will buy it! ”

……

"Your Majesty! The 100,000 troops of the main route army are all here! ”

"Your Majesty! All 50,000 troops of the Left Route Army have arrived! ”

"Your Majesty! The 50,000 troops of the Right Route Army, except for 10,000 who stayed behind in logistics, the rest are all in number! ”

In the reading room, Yuwen Shihong, who was selected to open in the middle of the night, could see that the surrounding streets were lit up with the orange light of fuel-saving lamps, and although the action was light, the people were also awakened a lot.

"The whole army obeys the order! Target! ”

"Tongzhou!"
