In the ninth year of the great cause, on the seventh day of the first month, it snowed heavily in Luoyang.

Emperor Yang Guangzhao of the Sui Dynasty recruited the world's soldiers to gather in Zhuo County, and began to recruit the people as Xiaoguo, and repaired the ancient city of Liaodong to store military rations. There is no doubt that the second battle of Goryeo is inevitable, but the first northern expedition to Goryeo failed to destroy the entire 1.13 million army of Goryeo, and the people did not expect much from this northern expedition, but generally had a kind of war weariness. Yang Guangqiang recruited husbands to transport grain and repair war ships, but there was not one in ten who could return, I don't know how many families were fragmented, and peasant uprisings continued in various places, but the magnates were still waiting for the opportunity of the collapse of the Great Sui.

The military strength of the Sui Dynasty was still strong, and the peasant uprisings were often suppressed before they could form a climate, and if the magnates raised troops against the Sui, it would be very different, they were different from the peasants, they had money and food, and they could fully arm the army that did not lose to the regular army of the Sui Dynasty, and then divide one side and chase the Central Plains.

Yang Xuangan is among them.

Since the death of Xuangan's father, Yang Su, the status of the Yang family in the court, is not as good as a rì, and now Yang Xuangan, the patriarch of the Yang family, although he has the title of Duke of Chu, but the official position is only the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Yang Xuangan is naturally dissatisfied, it is rumored that the Yang family has long been opposed, not from Yang Xuangan, but his father Yang Su has actually had two hearts, and Yang Guang is also secretly jealous of him, which will lead to the embarrassing situation of the Yang family.

Of course, the decline of the Yang family has a lot to do with Yang Xuangan's far less important than his father Yang Su.

Tang Que arrived in Luoyang in December last year, and now lives in Yang Xuangan's mansion as a guest, and Tang Que and Yang Xuangan have met once, and the two have a very happy conversation, and Xuangan treats him very well.

"Talking about Gongzi, Pushan Gong Li Mi is visiting, and the master invites Tan Gongzi to the study. The servant said at the door.

"Well, got it. Tang Que replied, Li Mi is Yang Xuangan's friend, and the two get together from time to time, Tang Que has not seen the rumored Pushan Gong Li Mi, but he is a little interested in his heart.

Tang Que walked into the study, didn't even knock on the door, and saw Li Mi who had a good conversation with Yang Xuangan at a glance, this person has a slender body and extraordinary temperament, at first glance he is the type of dragon and phoenix in the human world, his eyes are deep and appear calm and wise, and his eyes that seem to be insightful also make Tang Que secretly frightened, his words are always plain but full of deep meaning, which makes people feel invisible and sincere, no wonder people like Yang Xuangan are also impressed.

"I have seen Ming Gong. In Tang Que's heart, Yang Xuangan is just a powerful person in Chaosui, but he is by no means the lord of the world, and it is better to keep a little bit of it, Yang Xuangan smiled and nodded to Tang Que, Tang Que turned his head to look at Li Mi, and said respectfully, "This must be the secret prince of Pushan, and it is better to meet than to be famous." ”

"I heard Brother Xuangan say that there is a white-clothed Qing who looks like a dragon boy in the house, and now when I see it, it is really extraordinary. Li Mi smiled, "My brother is going to congratulate Brother Xuangan." ”

"Okay, so don't flatter each other. Yang Xuangan laughed and waved his big hand, "No yù, you also sit down." ”

"Yes. Tang Que replied and sat down at the table.

"Brother Xian is here, but what new news has he brought? I haven't seen him for three months, and Brother Xian is so thin. Yang Xuan said with concern.

"It's news from the South. Li Mi sighed, "I don't know when a South China Society appeared in the south, and its scale is probably more than 100,000 people, but I don't know why the imperial court is still in the dark now." ”

Tang Que thought about it for a while, and immediately thought of a name, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, it seems that after Wang Bo in the north, something big will happen in the south.......

The misfortune of the Great Sui is really happy. Tang Que sneered in his heart.

It is estimated that Yu Shiji and Yu Wenshu withheld the news. Yang Xuangan nodded, "I'm afraid that the Yuan family of Longyou will also be reversed." Yang Guang's rìzi is not good. ”

Yang Xuangan said, his heart suddenly wavered, shouldn't he be in a hurry, maybe it would be more secure to let the Yuan family take the lead and explore the limelight? Yang Xuangan thought about it, and couldn't help but set his eyes on Tang Que.

Tang Que saw Yang Xuangan looking at him, and naturally understood what he was thinking, and said slowly, "Yang Gong's thoughts are not bad, now is not a good time to start an incident." ”

"But the Yuan family's uprising is also an opportunity for Ming Gong. Li Mi said suddenly, Tang Que was stunned, and looked at Li Mi thoughtfully, "The Yuan clan rebels, and Guanzhong must be taken, and the Ming Duke can attack the rebellion under the pretext of attacking the Liyang Cang, occupy the Liyang granary, and recruit the hungry people. ”

Tang Que smiled in his heart, it seems that Li Mi may not have any good intentions, although what he said is not reasonable, but Tang Que does not think that it is a good idea to raise troops against Sui anyway, according to the current shape, it is the royal way to divide one side according to the army, at least on the surface, it must be attached to the imperial court, even if it is a rebellion, it will have to wait until after Yang Guang dies.

This is the case with Taiyuan Li Valve.

It's just that Tang Que didn't think that Yang Xuangan could make a big deal and wanted to use his hand to mess with Sui, but Li Mi's mention was the best choice for Tang Que, so Tang Que was so happy that he kept silent and waited for Yang Xuangan's decision.

After a long time, Yang Xuangan finally made a decision, gritted his teeth and slapped the table, "Just according to what Brother Xian said." ”

"Ming Gong is wise!" Li Mi was overjoyed.

Tang Que saw it in his eyes, showed an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and glanced at Li Mi, Li Mi felt Tang Que's gaze, and also turned his head and met Tang Que's eyes, both sides had ghosts in their hearts, but they couldn't see any clues on the surface.

"By the way, what do you think about this matter?" Yang Xuangan asked again, it seemed that although the words had been spoken, he was still a little uneasy in his heart, how could he become a big deal with such hesitation?

Tang Que smiled slightly, "Since Duke Ming has already decided, Wu Yù will naturally try his best to plan for Duke Ming." If it can be as Pushan Gong expected, there is no certainty that Ming Gong will gain a firm foothold in Guanzhong. ”

"Okay!" Yang Xuan was overjoyed and patted Tang Que on the shoulder.

Li Mi looked at Tang Que in disbelief, what kind of ability did this son have to dare to say such a thing? It was definitely not a simple matter to keep Guanzhong under the pressure of Da Sui and Li Yuan. But why did this empty sentence make Yang Xuan feel convinced? Li Mi's gaze at Tang Que couldn't help but change.

Yang Xuangan and Li Mi discussed for an hour, although Tang Que's words were not much, but the theme in the sentences made people feel like they were seeing the clouds, Li Mi's gaze at Tang Que became more and more intense, and what was even more rare was that this son seemed to be very knowledgeable about military strategy, from the long-term strategic deployment to the details of the marching formation, he was very thoughtful, such a talent, actually let Yang Xuangan run into it?

It's just that I don't know how this son's resourcefulness compares to Luo Yan? Li Mi couldn't help but compare the two. At least from the overall situation, he should still be inferior to Luo Yan, if he is Luo Yan, it is impossible to agree to let Yang Xuan feel trouble. Li Mi didn't know that Tang Que didn't really assist Yang Xuangan, he was just pushing the boat down the river.

It wasn't until the evening that Li Mi rejected Yang Xuangan's invitation to leave him for dinner, but before leaving, he didn't forget to look back at Tang Que a few times, in his heart, I am afraid that Tang Que has become a talent who must be wooed.

"Ming Gong, there is no yù has a word, I don't know whether it should be said or not. Tang Que said in a low voice.

"Oh?" Yang Xuan felt a little strange, but still said softly, "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"I know that the Duke of Ming and the Duke of Pushan have been friends for many years, but ...... For what Pushan Gong said, Ming Gong must not believe it, nor can he believe it all. Tang Que seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying this.

"Ridiculous! How could Li Mi harm me?" Yang Xuan said angrily, but suddenly he thought of something, and his mind eased up immediately.

"Ming Gong, the heart of guarding against people is indispensable. Tang Que said it sincerely, Yang Xuan couldn't help but believe it a little, and he felt a little bit of mustard for Li Mi in his heart.

"Well, I see, you can step down too. Yang Xuan was still a little displeased, and waved his hand to let Tang Que leave.

"Yes. Tang Que turned to leave, but a triumphant smile appeared on his lips.

This qiē, Yang Xuangan behind him naturally wouldn't know.
