Chapter 71: The History of Yizhou's Thorn

Yang Xiu's face was distressed, looking at the appearance of being a teenager, but his demeanor no longer looked like a child, and his mind was very precocious.

Yang Guang asked: "Who is Governor Yizhou?" ”

"Yuanyan."

At this time, the sunshine suddenly realized, who is Yuanyan? The first secretary of the military department of the Great Sui Dynasty, the prince of Pingchang County, Yang Guang had met a few times in the court before, but he had not dealt with him.

Gao Gong of Bohai, Wang Shao of Taiyuan, and Yuan Yan of Luoyang, these three are often mentioned together, because the three of them studied together when they were young, and they are all talented young people, but because of their personalities, the status of the three is very different.

Gao Gong is in a good situation, steady, and now he is already the person who carries the Ding of the Great Sui Dynasty, Yuan Yan is upright, too majestic, not smiling, difficult to get close, although he is young and has many twists and turns, fortunately, the emperor is willing to use him, as for Wang Shao when he was young, he was more upright than Yuan Yan, and many people who offended became Yang Guang's Jin Wangfu retainers, and now he is much older and the same dust as the light.

When Yang Guang heard that it was Yuan Yan who served as the governor of Yizhou, he roughly understood what Yang Jian meant.

Yang Xiu's age, no matter how precocious and talented he is, to take charge of the military and political power, not to mention the problem of his own ability, can the generals and civil officials below obey?

What he actually meant was to let Yuan Yan take charge of Yizhou in the name of assisting Yang Xiu, but Yuan Yan was a very talented person, so Yang Jian didn't want to directly give him military and political power.

You can use military power, but nominally it doesn't belong to you.

Now is the time for the war on the northern front, Yang Jian has to make good arrangements for the key positions of all parties, Jiankang Xiliang on the southern line has moved, and there is Tuyuhun to the west of Yizhou, although Tuyuhun has a good relationship with the Great Sui, but he also has to take some precautions, so as not to be caught off guard, so as to arrange Yuanyan over.

"Fourth brother, it's good to go out to Yizhou, no one cares, why are you so worried?"

Yang Xiu sighed helplessly: "That Yuan Yan is very serious and difficult to get along with, like an old master, he has to face him every day in the future, and it is very uncomfortable to think about it." ”

Obviously, Yang Xiu was not worried about that.

"Fourth brother don't worry, going out to Yizhou is definitely a benefit to you, more experience and experience, your father will definitely entrust you with important responsibilities in the future, and the scenery outside is good, it is much better than looking better in this capital every day."

Yang Xiu sighed again, this time no longer beating around the bush, but said bluntly: "My younger brother wants to go out to Yizhou, and I don't know when I will be able to return to the capital, the road is far away, I am afraid that my younger brother will not be able to help when the second brother needs his younger brother's help." ”

Yang Guang smiled, and only then did he understand the inner thoughts of this fourth child.

There are a few royal brothers, what else can they do to help, this is an alliance with Yang Guang to fight for the throne.

But Yang Guang didn't want to continue, and he didn't want to refuse openly.

"Fourth brother don't worry, now Beijing is very peaceful, you and I often exchange letters, and also tell me about the splendid style of Shudi."

"That's nature."

After chatting a few words, Yang Guang said goodbye to Yang Xiu, and his face sank, this old Sicheng Mansion was deep and big-minded, he was afraid that the emperor would send him out to completely isolate the battle for the throne, and he began to think deeply about these things when he was only ten years old, this guy is even more dangerous than Yang Yong.

He came to Yang Guang today because he felt that Yang Yong was now the crown prince and a person in front of several brothers, and if Yang Guang wanted to fight, he had to unite other forces, and he was one of them, he was willing to join Yang Guang's faction, and on the surface he wanted to help Yang Guang, and at the same time, Yang Guang also understood that he wanted to use himself as a stepping stone, and wanted to be the fisherman who fought with the snipe and the mussel.

Everyone wants to be a fisherman, but everyone is a snipe.

"I'm only ten years old, maybe I started thinking about it earlier, this should be called a natural backbone, Xiu'er, it's not good to show too early." Yang Guang muttered to himself and walked back to the house.

I thought that Yang Xiu actually looked smart, but this time I didn't understand Yang Jian's intentions, give you a person like Yuan Yan who is a person with the resources to help you, and let you go outside to develop with peace of mind, isn't this just to see your ability?

Or that he has a big heart, he is a good prince, and he has the help of capable ministers, and he has real power on one side, no matter who Yang Yong and Yang Guang want to go up in the future, you can stand on both sides, and you have real power, and life is beautiful, isn't it? It's a pity that he is only ten years old, and he is not willing to be a prince.

Not to mention that the dragon gives birth to the dragon and the phoenix gives birth to the phoenix, Yang Jian's son, who is willing to succumb to others.

Now Yang Guang is more concerned about Zhang Xutuo, this excellent general is a pity under Yang Xiu's command, and he has to find a way to fool him over.

Just as Yu Wenhua arrived, Yang Guang asked: "Brother Yuwen, do you know Zhang Xutuo?" ”

"I know, the character is strong, brave, and the martial arts are outstanding, when His Royal Highness wanted to guard the palace before, Weichen wanted to recruit him, but unfortunately His Majesty personally assigned it to His Royal Highness the King of Shu before this."

I didn't expect to miss it.

"Do you have a relationship with him?"

"Not bad."

Yang Guang thought about whether to call Yu Wenhua and invite him to sit in the house, but in this case, Yang Xiu would know that he was close to his cronies, but it was not good, so he pressed it for the time being.

"Brother Yuwen, what are you looking for me today?"

"Your Highness, there is a military report back, and it's not a good thing."

"Military newspaper of the Northern Front? Defeated again? ”

"It's not the northern route, it's the southern route."

"Elaborate."

Yu Wenhua and sat down and said: "Xiao (xiao), the second son of Xiao Yue, the independent of Xiliang, followed his uncle Xiao Yan to rebel at this juncture, although he failed, but crossed the river with a part of the army, leaving a sentence of thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, and defected to Nan Chen, and the news just arrived. ”

"Xiao Yan?" Yang Guang got up when he got up, his face shocked.

"What? Your Highness knows this person? ”

"Which Yan?"

"Rock of rock."

Yang Guang calmed down, then it should be fine.

"Xiao Yan is now the brother of the lord of Xiliang, this defection is because of the failure to seize the throne, he launched a coup d'Γ©tat, but soon failed, Xiao Yan conspired with him, wanting to take advantage of this time our Great Sui forces to move north and unite with the Southern Dynasty to seize the Western Liang, and then invade our dynasty, and finally crossed the river under the encirclement and absconded to Nanchen."

Yang Guang sighed that it was really an eventful time now, the Sui Dynasty was like this, the Western Liang was also like this, and Nan Chen was not much better.

"Xiao Zhen is the second son, he should feel that the throne is hopeless and rebel, and the lord of Xiliang and the prince of Xiliang can be injured."

"The rebellion was in a hurry, and the prestige of the Xiliang Emperor was very high, and it was quickly quelled, both of them were fine, but the wedding letter was just sent yesterday, and they had not yet arrived in Xiliang, and today they got the news of the Xiliang coup, I don't know if Xiliang can send someone over after receiving the news."

"Don't worry too much, the news has spread from Xiliang to the capital, and it is only two days before that the thousands of miles are expedited, so quickly it will subside, Xiliang should not hurt the fundamentals, and the more chaos occurs, the more likely the Lord of Xiliang is to seek stability, and at this time, he should still think about strengthening the relationship with the Great Sui."

Yu Wenhua couldn't help but nod after listening to Yang Guang's words, originally he was worried that a change in Xiliang would cause problems with Yang Guang's invitation, so it seemed that it was an unnecessary worry.

At this time, Yang Guang remembered the five-year plan he had formulated with Li Jing, one of which was to promote the annexation of Western Liang.

Historically, the Western Liang court was almost the same as the Southern Chen, and it would sooner or later be annexed by the Sui Dynasty, but after the annexation, there would be who the powerful nobles of the Western Liang would rely on.

He has the relationship of Xiao Menglan, and he naturally gets the moon first near the water, and now the situation in Xiliang is complicated, which may be a good opportunity to get involved.

"Brother Yuwen, I'll write another letter and send it to Xiliang as a faster horse."

Yesterday, I didn't hold back a letter for a long time, and today I am full of light.

"Shocked to hear that Lord Liang suddenly encountered a rebellion of thieves, Guangshen was anxious...... (200 words omitted here) I hope to return to the book as soon as possible, and the princess can be informed by Guang entering the palace to report the peace and avoid the princess's worries. ”

The words are sincere, and he feels that he is a good son-in-law.
