The border pass was pacified, Yang Shuang stayed behind, and Yang Guang returned to Beijing.

Halfway through, the news of the border pass came, but this time it was not from Shuozhou, but from the other side of the border pass to Daxingcheng, and then Daxingcheng sent to the whole country, such news, just like the news of the previous victory in Shuozhou.

The emperor wants: the whole world celebrates.

Sui general Dou Rongding led 9 commanders and 30,000 infantry cavalry out of Liangzhou (now Wuwei, Gansu) Road, and fought the battle of Gaoyue Yuan with the Turkic Apo Khan in Gaoyue Plain, Dou Rongding defeated Apo Khan's army several times, and Changsun Sheng took the opportunity to use a divisive plan to strive for Apo Khan to return to Sui.

The first Apo Khan had also signed a surrender agreement, and the Turks were currently the most powerful, and the Apo Khan, who did not submit to the Shabalu Khan, successfully surrendered to the Sui Dynasty.

The North is decided!

After receiving the news, the Sui army celebrated wildly for a while, the battle of the Northern Expedition, the Sui army was a big victory in the real sense, and the results achieved were comparable to that of Emperor Wu attacking the Xiongnu and Emperor Xuan taking advantage of the civil strife of the Xiongnu to surrender the Xiongnu.

Won the war, and let them surrender again.

This battle was not the work of Yang Guang alone, even if there was no Yang Guang in history, it was won, but it was much earlier because of Yang Guang.

Compared with the people of the Central Plains in this era, the productive forces and grain production capacity of the Central Plains at this time were beaten by the grasslands, and when we made up our minds to fight, as long as we did not make a mess within ourselves when we were fighting, we would definitely be able to win

While the whole army cheered, the only man on horseback looked out of place in the crowd.

"Princess Yaqi, if you don't want to hear it, let's go first."

Princess Yaqi nodded, and the two of them walked forward with a small group of cavalry, and Qin Qiong was in the team.

How could Princess Yaqi, who was the vanquished, be happy.

"His Royal Highness King Jin, don't you want to comfort your little daughter-in-law?"

Laihu'er laughed.

"What is there to be comforted in, we have won, and the soldiers should celebrate."

"Your Highness, you don't understand a woman's heart."

"Do you understand?"

Laihu'er patted his chest and said: "Your Highness, don't look at me Laihu'er is a rough person, I understand women's hearts the most, and the women say that I am empathetic, considerate and gentle, and the most first-class good man in the world." ”

"Where did the woman say that?"

"Everywhere you go, there are praises."

Qin Qiong said speechlessly: "Are they praising you?" That's boasting for your money. ”

"You're still a chick, little kid, you know something."

Everyone laughed happily.

Lai Hu'er continued: "Your Highness, come forward and comfort you, women are the most fragile at this time, you just say a few nice words, she will go to her heart, and she will read your good in the future." ”

"Let you read military books without reading, talking about these things is the truth."

Lai Hu'er smiled, quite honest: "Your Highness, there is a specialization in the art industry, and I will praise me as a treat." ”

"This time I will finish reading a military book within half a month when I go back, and I want to take the school exam."

Laihu'er looked embarrassed, and Yang Guangqi immediately came to Princess Yaqi's side.

After hesitating for a while, he said, "Today's wind ......"

"Your Highness, do you want to comfort me when you see that I am in a bad mood?"

"Forehead ......"

"Losing is losing, I'm not sad because I lost, Apo Khan and my brother have always been at odds, he lost is good for us, if it's just us who lose, this time my brother may be attacked by Apo Khan and his people, now it's good, they all lose."

"Then why are you so lost?"

Princess Yaqi looked into the distance, pointed to a small town in that direction, and said: "Walking with you these days, you can come across the town after walking a little way, some big and some small, and a little farther away there are cities with high walls, and where the rivers are flat, there are cities, which are much more prosperous than our Turks, and how can there be so many people in each city, I am even a little surprised how our Turks can fight for so long with the Central Plains, where there are so many people." ”

"Later, I figured it out, because the Central Plains is not only about war."

lamented: "Our Turkic boys, from birth, have been trained as warriors, herding cattle and sheep, wrestling and fighting, this is what every Turkic child does, but the Great Sui is different, along the way I found that some of your young people are fishing, some are drinking and composing poems, restaurants and taverns all over the city, and there are readers, my mother's words are right, the Turks have long lagged behind the Central Plains. ”

"So, I'm a little envious of the Central Plains."

"Do you know why you steppe people lost to the Central Plains?"

"If you are defeated, there is no excuse."

Yang Guang smiled and shook his head: "Do you know that the battle that your brother lost to us is actually almost the same record in my history books?" ”

"Huh?"

"Our history has written that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked people to lure the Xiongnu to the vicinity of Mayi, that is, Shuozhou, and then a group of people attacked before and after leaving the customs from Daijun, but this strategy failed because the news leaked and aroused the vigilance of the Huns, and we used almost the same strategy this time, but the Xiongnu were replaced by the Turks, and the Han Dynasty became the Sui Dynasty."

Princess Yaqi looked at Yang Guang in surprise: "In this case, haven't you been preparing for a long time?" ”

"Naturally, these things are recorded in our books, even if they fail, they are also recorded, so this time we can summarize the reasons for the failure of our predecessors and succeed, the strength of a civilization is not achieved overnight, nor is it purely by plundering and fighting, it must be the continuous accumulation and precipitation of generation after generation, and the Great Wall is our high wall to block the grassland people."

"And the culture that has been passed down from Yanhuang for thousands of years is not only our city wall, but also our sword."

Princess Yaqi seemed to be instantly relieved: "I will have a child in the future, I must let him learn the culture of the Central Plains well, of course, the ability to fight cannot be left behind, men always have to fight." ”

The group set out on the journey again.

After passing Tongguan, Yang Guang specially walked along the route of the canal.

At this time, the canal has been dug during this period of time, and the section from Daxing City to Tongguan has faintly taken shape.

Princess Yaqi was surprised and said, "You Great Sui people actually want to dig a river between two big rivers? It's incredible, I didn't even think about it. ”

"Do you think that we Central Plains people occupy the land of the Central Plains and do nothing? Rational use and transformation can make our land more fertile, transportation more smooth, roads open, and better development. ”

"And why do you have so many slaves in Dasui?"

"Those are not slaves, they are people, this is still our way, otherwise there will be more people who come to work."

Princess Yaqi looked at Yang Guang suspiciously: "His Royal Highness King Jin, although I don't understand Da Sui, but don't lie to me like this, I can still tell things clearly, digging a canal, how can so many people want to come." ”

"What am I lying to you about, these people are not used as slaves, the salary for digging canals is more stable than farming, and it includes food and shelter, and they do six days and one day off, whatever they can arrange, go wherever they want."

"It's ...... It's true? ”

"You don't understand this, don't look at it as six days off and one day, the efficiency is much higher than working all the time, and the construction period is much faster than the original."

Princess Yaqi seemed to have heard a science fiction story, and she couldn't even think about it.

"But His Royal Highness the King of Jin, you said to pay them salaries, do you have so much food and money in the Great Sui?"

"You seem to have some misunderstanding about the financial resources of the Great Sui."

At this time, Yu Wenkai brought people over, and when he saw Yang Guang, he dismounted excitedly: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, Weichen Yu Wenkai has seen His Royal Highness the King of Jin." ”

"Yu Wenkai, excuse me, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?"

"Good, good, Wechen is very good."

"How's the canal going?"

"It's no surprise that this leg will be open to water in August this year."

"Very good, maintain this speed, the two sections will start work together, and the section of Luoyang City should be about the same time, the main canal will pass, and the boat between Luoyang and Daxing City will be reached, and the speed will be much faster."

Yang Guang visited the canal, and in order to avoid delays, he didn't stay and hurriedly took people back to Daxing City as quickly as possible.

It was a morning when the team came outside Daxing.

Looking at the majestic main gate of the imperial city from a distance, Princess Yaqi was stunned.

She had heard of the prosperity of the Central Plains, and had seen some cities in the Central Plains along the way, and had imagined countless times in her heart how huge and majestic the imperial city of the Central Plains would be, but she was still shocked when she really stood in front of it.

Man's imagination is limited to what he sees and hears, and man cannot imagine something unfounded out of thin air.

"This city ...... How big is it? ”

"Won't you go in and see for yourself later?"

"Who can build such a huge and majestic city, is this exactly what human beings do?"

Hearing this, everyone laughed, and Yang Yichen said: "I was also very surprised when I saw it for the first time, princess, the person who built this city is right in front of you." ”

Goosebumps stood up on Princess Yaqi's delicate and white skin, and she looked at Yang Guang in disbelief again: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, is it ......?"

"Theoretically, I'm just the overseer of this city, and when it comes to building this city, I have some contribution."

What kind of person is this, who can defeat the Turkic army on a frontal battlefield, and can also oversee the construction of such a royal city like a fairy palace.

At this time, the team in front of them came and knelt down when they saw Yang Guang's team.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, His Majesty has sent a guard of honor three miles away from the south gate of Daxing City to wait, and please wait for the transfer to the south gate to enter the city."

Yang Guang didn't plan to make a big fuss, but the emperor didn't let it.

Such a big victory, can't it be well publicized?

Yang Guang smiled slightly: "If you enter from the south gate, it means ......"

"Let's go, everyone, I have walked through the south gate of Daxing City once, this time I will take you to take a good look at Daxing City, and we will take Suzaku Avenue into the city."

Today, Triumph.
