After Xiao Jingxuan returned to the harem, he lay on the soft couch and began to tease the two little guys.

Yang Yi said to Xiao Jingxuan in those two letters.

"These two little guys, what do you think should be called?"

Looking at the letters in Yang Yi's hand, Xiao Jingxuan also smiled bitterly, because these two letters were too headaches.

One of them was written by Emperor Jia'an, meaning that the names of the two little ones had been chosen. The man's name is Yang Zhao. The woman's name is Yang Lingwei.

As for the other letter, it was sent by Liang Guogong, and the meaning of the letter was also to name the two little ones. The man's name is Xiao Ruiyan, and the woman's name is Xiao Yuhe.

To be honest, one is his biological father and the other is his adoptive father. Xiao Jingxuan didn't know how to choose for a while.

Even, Xiao Jingxuan vaguely guessed that the reason why Liang Guogong sent this letter so quickly was probably because Emperor Jia'an also contributed a lot.

Nowadays, no matter which one you choose, it will make the other unhappy.

Xiao Jingxuan's childhood was not happy, and as an adult, everything about himself was also under the control of others.

For Liang Guogong and Emperor Jia'an, Xiao Jingxuan's heart actually doesn't like it very much. There is even some disgust in my heart.

After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Jingxuan still planned to let his child's surname be Xiao, but he didn't use Liang Guogong to get the name.

Xiao Jingxuan named his son Xiao Zongze, and his daughter was Xiao Chan'er.

After choosing the name, Xiao Jingxuan also completely relaxed.

Now that winter has arrived, there is nothing else to do other than to migrate some of the displaced people by sea to Weidi.

So, in the following days, Xiao Jingxuan also completely relaxed.

Every day, he either practiced and teased the two children, or went out of the palace to inspect the livelihood of the people in the nearby prefectures and counties.

Nowadays, the whole Yandi presents a peaceful scene. In the future, after the Weidi is completely under control, then the Yan Kingdom will be able to compete with the princes of the world.

Next, Xiao Jingxuan plans to recuperate and recuperate, and when his strength continues to be about the same, he will send troops to the Central Plains.

Among Xiao Jingxuan's many new policies, the most popular among the people is the light agricultural tax and the heavy commercial tax.

The living standards of the people have risen in a straight line, and when the displaced people from other countries come to Yan Kingdom, they are almost overjoyed when they see the field tax of thirty taxes and one day.

However, the climate of Yan is indeed cold, but it is also tolerable compared to taxes.

Secondly, there are no wealthy families in Yan Kingdom, and the children of official eunuchs are also relatively restrained, and there is no harm.

Local officials built water conservancy, bridges and paved roads, and the officialdom was still relatively clear.

And what scholars like most about Yan is the imperial examination system of Yan State, regardless of the family, only on talent.

The so-called learned literary and martial arts were sold to the emperor's family. It is precisely because of the existence of the imperial examination system that a large number of scholars began to rush to Yan with their families. Came to settle in the country of Yan.

Winter went to spring, and in a blink of an eye, it came to the twenty-ninth year of Jia'an, and two years had passed since the battle of extermination.

Xiao Jingxuan is also twenty-nine years old, and Yang Yi has added another daughter to Xiao Jingxuan.

In the past two years, the strength of Yan Guo can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds. With the annexation of Weidi, Xiao Jingxuan settled more and more displaced people in Weidi.

And with the oppression of the family lords of various countries, more and more displaced people had to flee to Yan State. This also made the strength of Yan Kingdom increase dramatically.

Xiao Jingxuan knew that the time had come for Yan to expand. So, Xiao Jingxuan ordered to crown Li Yunlan as the chief general of Pingcheng, and outside the town guards, he ordered Yang Xiong Lei Ben to immediately lead the army to Pingzhou.

In addition, Xiao Jingxuan mobilized Ye Xiong's tiger and leopard cavalry to Pingzhou.

In other words, Xiao Jingxuan gathered almost 120,000 troops in Pingzhou.

In April of the 29th year of Jia'an, Xiao Jingxuan rushed to Pingzhou with 500 pro-troops.

After arriving in Pingzhou, Xiao Jingxuan summoned various generals in the general's mansion.

Gongsun Sheng, Zhou Tong, Tang Wanyi, Niu Gai, Ye Xiong, Yang Xiong, and Lei Ben are impressively listed. In addition, there are also Qiu Rong, Hu Dewei, Zhanming and other upstarts in the army.

After looking at the generals on both sides, Xiao Jingxuan said solemnly: "Come on, give me a message to the world, just say that the Yuwen clan has no way, and today my Yan Kingdom wants to fight against the ministers on behalf of the sky, and then polish it." ”

"Yes, the last general commands." One of the guards walked out quickly.

Xiao Jingxuan continued to look around and said.

"The first battle is to attack Jizhou, Gongsun Sheng, I order you to be the vanguard, leading Zhou Tong, Niu Gai, Tang Wanyi, Qiu Rong A total of 50,000 troops to attack Jizhou."

"The last general commands."

"Hu Dewei?"

"The end will be."

"I ordered you to be stationed in Pingzhou, and there must be no mistake."

"The last general commands."

"The rest of the people will follow me to attack Youzhou."

"The last general commands."

With Xiao Jingxuan's military order issued, the entire Pingzhou began to get busy.

Armies of all stripes began to assemble out of the city.

Youzhou can be said to be the gateway to attack the Yan Kingdom. However, Youzhou was divided into two, Youzhou City and the two counties under Youzhou belonged to the Zhao State, and the remaining two county towns belonged to the Wei State.

This time, Xiao Jingxuan did not intend to let go of the territory of Wei, but sent his subordinate Hu Dewei to lead his troops to forcibly take over the two county seats. If there is resistance, you can storm it.

As for the remaining soldiers and horses, they directly followed Xiao Jingxuan's troops to surround Youzhou City.

The reason why Xiao Jingxuan targeted the attack on Zhao State was because he had quite a prestige in the entire border city.

Xiao Jingxuan's prestige can be said to have been built up by the accumulation of white bones of the barbarians, and the head of the barbarian emperor is Xiao Jingxuan's greatest merit.

When Xiao Jingxuan's royal flag was erected outside Youzhou City, the entire Youzhou shook.

Who is Xiao Jingxuan, just kidding, that is the god of killing who is praised as a butcher by the barbarians, and he is an existence admired by the soldiers in the army.

Youzhou City is a fortified city, in order to guard against Yan and Wei, Zhao State deployed almost 40,000 troops in Youzhou.

In addition to the army guarding the surrounding counties, there are at least 30,000 troops in Youzhou City. In addition, the city is high and the walls are thick, and the soldiers are well fed. This battle is not easy to fight.

Xiao Jingxuan rode his horse to a distance less than two hundred steps away from Youzhou City and stopped.

In fact, this distance had already entered the range of the archers, but Zhao Jun did not attack immediately.

Xiao Jingxuan looked at the city tower and shouted loudly: "This king Xiao Jingxuan, please speak to the guards in the city." ”

After a few moments, a familiar voice came from the city walls.

"Haha, His Royal Highness King Yan, don't come unharmed."

Xiao Jingxuan looked at it, and it turned out to be his acquaintance. Yuwen Tuo of Yuwen Valve.

Zhao State is different from Yan State, Xiao Jingxuan just calls himself King Yan, and it is this King Yan who is also personally sealed by Emperor Jia'an.

And Zhao is different, Yuwen Yong, as the contemporary head of the Yuwen valve, has already proclaimed himself emperor, of course, the same is true of other countries.

Xiao Jingxuan smiled and said, "Who should I be?" It turned out to be General Yuwen. ”

"Presumptuous, you dare to be disrespectful to the acting king."

A general beside Yuwen Tuo scolded Xiao Jingxuan loudly.

Xiao Jingxuan was furious: "Presumptuous." ”

I saw a knife gang appear out of thin air on the city tower, directly beheading the family general who spoke out.

Xiao Jingxuan's move stunned the soldiers of Zhao Guo on the city tower.

You must know that the city tower is also twenty zhang high, and Xiao Jingxuan is still two hundred steps away from the city wall.

Ignoring the surprised crowd on the city tower, Xiao Jingxuan said slowly: "General Yuwen, for the sake of you and I who were old people, I can let you lead the army away." However, only this time, the next time we meet, we will meet in life and death. ”

"His Royal Highness King Yan, do you think that just by your words, you will let this king flee?"

Faced with Yuwen Tuo's question, Xiao Jingxuan shook his head and said: "I have 60,000 elites under my command, all of them are tiger and wolf divisions, and Youzhou City can't stop me. If you don't want to, I don't force it, I'll give you one night to think about it. ”

After Xiao Jingxuan finished speaking, he turned his horse's head and returned to the camp.

After arriving at the camp, Xiao Jingxuan looked at the generals around him and said, "Prepare and take over Youzhou tomorrow." ”

After hearing Xiao Jingxuan's words, Yang Xiong opened his mouth and asked, "Your Majesty, could it be that Yuwen Tuo will really surrender?" ”

Xiao Jingxuan shook his head.

"Yuwen Tuo has an army of 30,000 in his hands, and he hasn't fought a battle, so how can he surrender? It's just that he knows that Youzhou can't stop me, and if he forces a war, he will die a miserable death. ”

"It's also a good idea to hold on to the city and wait for reinforcements."

"It is true, however, there are barbarians in the north of Zhao State, Liang State and Qin State in the west, Wei State in the south, and I Yan State in the east, I am afraid that for a while, I will not be able to send reinforcements. It's better to preserve your strength. ”

After Xiao Jingxuan finished explaining, he returned to the tent to rest.

Sure enough, late that night, Yuwen Tuo led the army and quietly went out of the city from the north gate and withdrew towards Yizhou.

The scouts under Xiao Jingxuan's command followed Yuwen Tuo's army until Zhao Jun had left more than a hundred miles before returning to the camp to report.

Early the next morning, when Xiao Jingxuan learned the news, he didn't show much surprise.

In Xiao Jingxuan's image, Yuwentuo is more like a politician than a soldier.

If it was Yu Wenyue guarding Youzhou, no matter what, he would also have a fight with Xiao Jingxuan, and unless he reached the end, he would never retreat easily.

Xiao Jingxuan ordered Lei Ben to lead the army into Youzhou City first. After confirming that everything was correct, the other battalions entered the city in batches.

After Xiao Jingxuan entered the city, Lei Ben had already counted the harvest this time.

First of all, almost 150,000 quintals of grain and grass were seized, as well as a large number of weapons and armor.

Among them, the number of arrows frightened Xiao Jingxuan, and in the warehouse, almost 200,000 feather arrows were hoarded.

In addition, in the storeroom, almost three thousand pieces of infantry iron armor were found.

As for the other supplies, there are countless of them. However, Xiao Jingxuan was very strange when he saw Lei Ben's expression of wanting to speak and stopping.

So he personally went to the warehouse to inspect, and this inspection made Xiao Jingxuan furious, it turned out that the three thousand iron armors seized were all the standards of the Yan Army, and the craftsmanship was all from the workshop in Yingzhou.

Xiao Jingxuan said angrily to Xiao Ran beside him: "Pass the order, and order Zhao Gang to rush to Yingzhou quickly and take over all the military and political powers in Yingzhou." Strictly investigate the matter. ”
