Yang Guang, who returned to Yanmen Pass, was quite disappointed, Yuan Tiantian removed Yang Guang's armor to check the injury, and saw a few wounds, Yuan Tiantian was a little flustered.

"What's the matter, you don't dare to come closer?"

Yuan Tiantian came back to his senses, took out water and a thin towel and gently wiped it for Yang Guang, there were no specific anti-inflammatory drugs in this era, and the herbs taken externally had to be changed frequently, and the wound could be cleaned with water to avoid infection as much as possible.

Fortunately, the weather is cold now, and it is not easy to breed germs.

Yuan Tiantian shed tears while wiping his wounds, and said with distress: "Your Highness, you are so seriously injured, if the princess sees it, she will cry for a long time." ”

"It's already a blessing to be able to save my life in the war, how many soldiers died on the battlefield, and the horse leather shrouded me, I was only a little injured, so I won't cry."

Yang Guang wiped the medicine, put on his clothes, and then sighed and said, "Every day, why do you say people are so strange? ”

"What does Your Highness mean?"

"As soon as I arrived here, I met Liu Wuzhou, that is, Zhou Wu, in the mountains and forests, the righteous and bold young ranger, who dared to ambush the monks of the Buddha country alone, the righteousness of the rivers and lakes and the righteousness of the nation, and I don't care about wealth and glory, I have not been moved by many solicitations, I thought I had met a good seedling, who would have thought that these people finally chose to defect to the Great Sui, in order to rescue their father who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, they also became traitors."

Yang Guang continued to murmur: "That Gao Huairong, I thought he was a traitor who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and gave the order to erase early, who expected him to stand and kneel, riding a horse to the battlefield, Uncle Wei Wang said that he fought for three days on the battlefield of Shuozhou City, and fought bloodily on the city wall, like a mad demon, with more than a dozen knife wounds on his body, and finally died and died of martyrdom. ”

"Just yesterday, the two brothers of the Ma family saved my life, but they happened to save my life on the way to resell smuggled weapons and armor, what they did was not bright, but they saw the Turkic soldiers and fought desperately regardless of their lives."

Yang Guang frowned: "How do you think I should judge whether a person is good or bad?" I'm confused, people, it's complicated. ”

Yuan poured tea for Yang Guang every day, the steaming tea was fragrant, and she slowly spoke: "Your Highness, heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang, there is no good and evil in the world, people are between gods and demons, there is a noble part and a despicable part, Liu Wuzhou values small righteousness and no great righteousness, Gao Huairong has great righteousness and loses small righteousness, everyone is elusive and cannot be generalized." ”

Yang Guang sighed lightly: "Whew, so I finally took the Ma brothers for my own use, although the two of them will take risks to do something unreasonable for their livelihood, but in the face of the big right and wrong, they did not hesitate, I just hope that it will not change in the future, not like Gao Huairong, who is obviously a good soldier who goes into battle to kill the enemy, and can withstand the wind, frost, rain and snow but after two years of peace, he can't bear the warm fragrance of nephrite." ”

"Go and call Zhang Xiangren."

After Yang Guang took care of his wounds, he came to the command office, where Zhang Xiangren was already waiting.

Zhang Xiangren did a very good job of investigating the spies before, except for the most trusted Li Feng by Yang Guang's side, only Zhang Xiangren was left, and said to him alone: "Now that Qin Qiong has been captured by the Turks, Zhou Wu is Liu Wu Zhou rebelled, and designed to intercept and kill this king, the Turks are fierce, this king intends to use Liu Kuang to trade with the Turks in exchange for hostages, and give 100 cattle and sheep, 300 stones of grain, negotiate peace with him, I will send you to be a messenger." ”

When Zhang Xiangren heard this, his face was shocked: "Your Highness, no, our army's morale is like a rainbow now, you were assassinated, we don't fight back, now to sue for peace is to submit to softness, isn't this to make the Turks laugh?" ”

Yang Guang's words made Zhang Xiangren a little surprised and angry, and then shook his head: "This matter will never be done, even if Your Highness wants to kill or kill me, don't say a word, let me go and sue for peace with the Turks, I can't do it." ”

Then Yang Guang asked Zhang Xiangren to go to the dark room next door first, and then Yu Dehuai walked in, Yang Guang used what he just said to Zhang Xiangren and Yu Dehuai, Yu Dehuai's reaction was almost exactly the same as Zhang Xiangren, Zhang Xiangren in the dark room didn't understand what Yang Guang was going to do.

But compared to what he said to Zhang Xiangren, Yang Guangduo asked Yu Dehuai: "I have a plan to make the Turks never violate my border pass, but I have to suffer some grievances, and may even lose my life, are you willing?" ”

"Your Highness really has this plan, don't say that you are fighting to the death, even if you let me commit suicide, I am willing."

Yu Dehuai always spoke roughly, Yang Guang thought for a moment, and motioned to Li Feng to let Zhang Xiangren come out.

Seeing Zhang Xiangren's appearance, Yu Dehuai was a little surprised, and he didn't know what Yang Guang wanted.

Yang Guang sighed and told the two of them all the things he had discussed with Yang Shuang, the king of Wei, including the matter of delaying the Turks by exchanging hostages.

He was suspicious of the two before, but after Liu Kuang's confession, including the observation during this time, the two can basically clear their suspicions.

The two of them were stunned after hearing Yang Guang's plan, and Yu Dehuai said: "Your Highness, your plan is dangerous, suing for peace with the Turks may lead wolves into the house, and when the Turks have no city to rely on in this winter, they are likely to launch a more fierce attack." ”

"They don't have to worry about attacking, Li Che has already gone to Taiyuan to bring in troops, and they will arrive in a few days, after the combined forces, our army is not afraid of the Turks, just for the sake of the overall situation, we have to drag their main force here, and it is the most reassuring under our noses, so the exchange of hostages, including seeking peace and negotiating peace, is a delaying strategy."

Yu Dehuai immediately said: "Your Highness's move is extremely risky, but since Your Majesty has the heart of the Northern Expedition and Your Highness has such great ambitions, the last general Dehuai is willing to saddle the horse for His Highness, expel the Turks, bless my Central Plains, Your Highness has any arrangements, just say." ”

"First, it's what I just said, Zhang Xiangren has to be a messenger to help me envoy to the Turks, exchange hostages and seek peace, the Turks don't follow the rules, this may be a life-saving ......"

"Your Highness, rest assured, the last general's head was originally kept for killing the Turks."

Zhang Xiangren immediately expressed his determination.

"This is the first thing, the next things have to go through this first step before you can continue, if it fails, you can only find other ways, if it succeeds, I have more important things to help you with."

"Your Highness, please speak."

"I'll be blunt, I need the two of you to take the blame for me and bear the infamy for me, which is why I'm telling you both the whole plan."

The two of them didn't understand, so Yang Guang explained: "The peace negotiation with the Turks is intended to delay the Turks in the retreat and attack repeatedly, so that their internal fluctuations, I and Uncle Wei Wang will play a discord, and my identity is to seek peace, the border soldiers are bloody, and they look down on those who are wronged and seek peace, and the infamy will become heavier and heavier, but I, can't afford this infamy, can you understand what I mean?" ”

The two glanced at each other, Yang Guang wanted to transfer the infamy to the two of them.

Yu Dehuai smiled wildly: "Your Highness, if you can really stop the Turks, I can do without my life, why care about infamy?" Your Highness, tell me straight, what should I do? I'm getting old. ”

A very important thing here in Yang Guang is that Dehuai is not important here, as a military general, Yu Dehuai is not Yang Guang's reputation, he knows that people like King Jin must cherish their wings for their future, he is different, he fought from the big head soldiers, if he didn't enter the temple, he still speaks vulgarly, he doesn't care what others say about him.

Yang Guang smiled with satisfaction: "The Turks don't know my specific situation now, I will declare to the public that because I was ambushed this time, I was seriously injured, and now I am recuperating in Yanmen Pass, and I can't get out of bed for the time being, and I can't manage the government, so I ordered you to act as my sole agent to deal with military and political secrets in Yanmen Pass, and what you need to do is to negotiate peace with the Turks according to my arrangement." ”

"The last will obey."

"Zhang Xiangren, go and prepare to exchange Qin Qiong's supplies, cattle and sheep now, and be sure to go to the Turkic camp in the shortest possible time."

Zhang Xiangren immediately received the order: "It's Your Highness." ”

"I wronged the two of you, but this matter has come to pass, it is a merit for eternity."

"Yes, Your Highness."

After the two withdrew, Yuan Tiantian walked out, and Yang Guang said to Li Feng and Yuan Tiantian: "Li Feng, you let Yang Yichen come back to Yanmen Pass to sit in town, although I believe in these two people now, but safety first, Yang Yichen can only feel at ease when he returns to Yanmen Pass to actually control most of the army." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Every day, I will try not to get out of this house as much as possible, and everything will be passed on to Yu Dehuai and the two by you."

Yuan Tiantian said worriedly: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, Zhang Xiangren went to negotiate peace, will the Turks believe it?" ”

"If you don't believe it, the plan will fail, Zhang Xiangren probably won't be able to come back, if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent, Zhang Xiangren himself understands this matter, and he is willing to go with the determination to die, he is a good soldier of my Great Sui."

Yang Guang sighed with emotion: "One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, I understand a little now, my father wants to make a meritorious deed for the ages, and many people will die, I only hope that my soldiers of the Great Sui can die less, and destroy the Turks as soon as possible, so that the Great Sui can be truly prosperous and powerful, so that foreign people will bow down to them." ”

……

Zhang Xiangren and Yu Dehuai left where Yang Guang was, and Yu Dehuai said with some unease: "Old Zhang, your task is arduous, be more careful." ”

"General, this time Lao Gao died in battle, he did something wrong and suffered evil consequences, we thought that His Royal Highness King Jin was a child, but now it seems that His Royal Highness King Jin is not comparable to us, and the general and I will follow His Royal Highness, or have some merits to do."

"Lao Gao is gone, I'll wait for you to come back, our brothers have worked together for many years, if we can really clear the Turks, we should take a good look together."
