Chapter 103: Big Things Are Coming
A few days later, Xu Shiji, Cheng Zhijie, and Shan Xiongxin came to meet Jin, and each took charge of 5,000 people, and they each visited in the morning, drilled soldiers and horses, and became familiar with the personnel of the headquarters. The whole book
Yang Xuanning stayed in the Jingling Tomb. watched coldly, and within more than ten days, Xu Shiji, Cheng Zhijie, and Shan Xiongxin had already understood the character of the three people.
Xu Shiji is smart and decisive, the city government is deep, and he knows very well what he should do, of course, provided that you can control him.
Cheng Zhijie is extremely brave, thick and fine, he is really a first-class brave general, but this person has many inner thoughts, and sometimes he can't be careless.
Shan Xiongxin, martial arts is also first-class, and there is a thing available, his ancestor Shan Deng, once helped the Northern Zhou Yuwen clan to unify the north, outstanding achievements, worship the general of the country, guard Dongchang Mansion, his father Shan Yu attacked his father's position and still guard Dongchang. In the first year of Emperor Kaihuang of Sui, Li Yuan led his troops to attack Zhou, besieged Dongchang, Shan Yu fought with him for seven days and nights, and was captured and killed by Li Yuan after the city was broken.
The Shan family fled under the protection of the general, and did not dare to stay in Shandong for a long time, so they came to Luzhou. Because he carried gold and silver with him when he fled, he was able to build a manor, buy a field, and settle down in Luzhou.
When Li Yuan went to Taiyuan to be an official, it is said that he shot Shan Xiongxin's second brother Shan Xiongzhong on the way, and then made a revenge for killing his brother on his father's revenge.
Historically, when the Wagang army failed and the old Wagang troops defected to the Tang Dynasty, Shan Xiongxin led his troops to take refuge in Wang Shichong. After Wang Shichong declared himself a minister to Li Shimin, Shan Xiongxin broke through, was captured in a bloody battle, vowed not to surrender, and was beheaded by Li Shimin on Luoyang Zhu at the age of 41.
Therefore, if he is hostile to Li Valve, Shan Xiongxin will never waver, and he will swear to the end, and even if Li Valu is defeated in the future, if he is ordered to be a general, this person will take the opportunity to kill Li Valve. If it really comes to that point, if you want to kill anyone in Li Valve, you just need to appoint him as the last general.
Monarchs and ministers talked, banquets, and it didn't take much time for them to start getting close.
Yang Xuanning is deeply in charge of the opportunity, knowing that as the sovereign, he must always maintain his authority. 40,000 people stormed the city of Xiangyang, which was really very reluctant, plus Zhu, who had more than 100,000 troops behind him, as well as Qian Duguan, Bai Qing'er, and Zheng Shiru, all of whom were people of the Yin Sect, and their hearts were unpredictable, and it was difficult to ensure that they would not capsize in the gutter. Maybe when the great cause will be accomplished, because of the lack of carelessness for a while, the country will die, and the future generations will laugh.
Therefore, he didn't move at all, anyway, Jingzhou raider, under the condition that Song Que personally led his troops north and attacked south with Luo Shixin. The overall situation has been decided, it is nothing more than some time, waiting for Jingzhou to take all, the three armies will meet, and Jingling will gather 100,000 troops, and no matter what conspiracy and trickery there is, it will be a mantis arm as a car.
The wisdom in his heart is in his chest, and his demeanor is calm and leisurely, this afternoon. Yang Xuanning came to the courtyard. The courtyard is the important place of the Taishou Mansion, the grass is fragrant and the flowers are lush, the stone monster stream is secluded, the birds are faint and singing, and when they are appreciative, there is a sudden forbidden army saluting, and the words are Shen Luo and the geese ask to see.
passed in. saw Shen Luoyan with a solemn look on his face.
"Your Majesty. Two copies of the brocade guard emergency report. He said. I handed over the letter that had been opened and sealed.
Yang Xuanning took the first sheet and glanced at it a few times. He sighed and said, "Xue Ju is dead?"
"Yes, after Xue Ju's victory over Li Shimin, he repaired for January, and his adviser Hao Ying persuaded him: Now the Tang soldiers are newly broken, the generals are captured, the Beijing division is in turmoil, and the victory can be taken directly to Chang'an, Xue Ju therefore raised 100,000 troops and attacked the fortifications, but halfway, the inner should lead the troops in, the four holy monks all shot, there are 2,000 monks, Xue Ju was seriously injured, reluctantly led the army to retreat, arranged the future, and passed on his son Xue Renguo to die, but 2,000 monks, also lost most of them, only 300 people escaped, one of the four holy monks, Emperor Xin Venerable, died on the spot, and the remaining three holy monks were also injured, which can be called quite tragicγ β
"I didn't expect Xue Ju to be dead, but it is not bad to be able to kill the Emperor Heart Venerable and kill so many monks and soldiers, Hu Jiao can be called a great injury to his vitality this time!" Yang Xuanning was still quite satisfied with this result: "However, can Xue Renguo return to Jincheng?"
"Wang, the second part is to say this, the saint and five days ago, overnight, Luoyang shook, the sound of killing Zhentian, Yu Wenhua and was executed, other Yuwen families, or degraded or killed, the saint has completely regained power, but the so-called night of the long knife, nearly 8,000 people died. β
"Praise, in this case, Guanzhong Chang'an must be terrified, it is impossible for Li Shimin to continue to pursue while he is victorious, after all, the saint is not so stupid, if he doesn't take the opportunity to attack Guanzhong, there will not be much chance when Li Shimin breaks Xue Renguo. β
"Exactly, within a month, the Holy One will send troops to the pass. Shen Luoyan said.
"Okay, it's all big news, what else is there?"
"The following four copies are all our chapters, and I also invite the king to read them. Shen Luoyan didn't dare to read these four copies first, the previous two copies were within her purview, so she could read them first.
"Well, Du Fuwei went to the table, saying that Li Zitong had been destroyed, and he was captured to see the widow, very good, the widow let him come to see, he made this great achievement, promoted the second level, and was the fourth grade. Yang Xuanning said idly, without any doubts about this result at all: "Well, Wei Chi Jingde has occupied Pengcheng County, and Donghai County has also fallen into the hands of widows. β
"Well, a letter from the cabinet, the resettlement of displaced people is almost over?
Encouraged. After speaking, Yang Xuanning opened the last envelope, but he didn't read it carefully, and his face slowly turned red.
"Your Majesty?"
"Luo Shixin and Song Valve have joined forces, and all the counties of Jingzhou, except for Xiangyang, have been taken, which is really gratifying. Yang Xuanning tried hard to suppress his joy, and said indifferently: "The attack on Jingzhou lasted ten months, and it finally came to an end. β
"Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king, Jingzhou has been obtained, my king's great cause will be accomplished, may my king be a thousand years old, a thousand years old. Shen Luoyan hurriedly knelt down and said congratulatorily.
"Well, it's not easy, I ordered Song Que and Luo Shixin to go north to see the widows, and the cabinet quickly dispatched officials to settle and control the counties, so as not to cause trouble. β
After saying that, after a few steps, Yang Xuanning finally couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said: "The Ministry of Command and Military Affairs measures the merits, and the cabinet ministers support the food and support, and the credit for the overall situation of the command and planning must also be rewarded." β
Shen Luoyan didn't respond to these words, but a female official recorded all the words, which would be sent to the living house for polishing, and would be sent to the upper office for affirmative instructions and release, not about the Jinyi Wei led by Shen Luoyan.
"Pu Guanshui has meritorious diplomacy, and the widow has been promoted to the fourth grade, and the special envoy of the Ministry of Rites. With the envoy, he continued to contact Xue Renguo, saying that the widow was willing to send an envoy to buy horses at a high price. Yang Xuanning said: "You can also act cheaply, and contact the northern Haoqiang, the details are controlled by him." β
Xue Renguo controlled the most important horse farm of the Sui Dynasty, and there were many war horses, which were exchangeable. The high price is also a way to support him, allowing him to get enough money to stay alive.
The gold of Yang Gong's treasure land has now cost half of it, but the last time he won Jiangdu, he made a big profit, and the wealth alone is equivalent to a Yang Gong treasure. Just use the money, and it is not a problem to support it for two years.
Speaking of buying horses, Yang Xuanning sneered again, at this time, Guanzhong Li Valve, in fact, there are not many horses, and it is said that all the war horses are only five thousand, in history. Li Shimin organized the Qin King Xuanjia, who was famous in the world, but in fact, there were only a thousand horsemen.
After a pause, he said: "The officials of the Ministry of Rites visited the Holy Lord, saying that they would offer a thousand war horses as a tribute, but in fact, they asked for horses to be exchanged for food, and the Holy Lord had a lot of food, but no horses. Presumably, at this juncture, he is still willing to change. β
"Also, I ordered the cabinet to discuss the affairs of Ma Zheng, and I built a servant, specializing in horse herding, and the hundred horses were organized into a group, and a group of leaders were set up. 15 set a shepherd. A ranch. There is a head office, and it is under the control of the pastoral superintendent. β
"There are few pastures in the south. It is very expensive to raise horses and feed them with grain, and the cabinet may set up pastures in places where there are few people on overseas islands, introduce more good horses, and train more personnel for the purpose of future outbreaks. β
It has been made clear that at this time, it is better to build more small-scale pastures, train breeders and managers, and wait for the future to expand the breeding once a suitable place to raise horses is obtained.
After speaking, he sighed again and said: "Order the forbidden army of 25,000, drive back to Jiangdu, and the tomb will be guarded by Xu Shiji, Cheng Zhijie, and Shan Xiongxin, 15,000 troops, and some box soldiers, which is enough at present, and the widow will go back to personally preside over the overall situation and deal with major affairs." β
"Your Majesty, aren't you waiting for someone from Xiangyang?"
"Don't wait, the widow will return to Jiangdu first, and order Song Lack 20,000 troops and Luo Shixin's 60,000 troops to meet in Jingling. Yang Xuanning let out a sneer and said categorically.
At the sound of the order, it was naturally carried out, first by land, and then by water, and the sailor went straight to Jiangdu, and after a few days, he entered Jiangdu and went to the wharf.
Because of the early order, only some officials sent royal cars to greet them, and other important ministers all waited outside the palace, waiting for once they entered the palace, they summoned themselves to the meeting, including Du Fuwei, who returned victorious.
At this time, it is already dusk, satin street and other alleys are intertwined with it, the restaurants and pavilions are very densely distributed, on the long street, the flow of people is like a tide, shoulder to shoulder, and there are unique playthings and goods in the shops, which are displayed in a variety of columns, which is dizzying.
Although there was something in his heart, Yang Xuanning was still surprised: "It seems to be more prosperous than before." β
Shen Luoyan, who won the glory of the same ride, smiled: "The king, the saint left, and the king opened the sea trade in a big way, the sea trade is flourishing, after winning the Jiangdu, because the east can go down the Yangtze River, you can go to sea to the Wa Kingdom, Ryukyu and Nanyang land, so Yangzhou has become one of the most important foreign transfer stations in the country, and as soon as Li Zitong was captured, there was no external trouble around, and the merchants from all over the country poured into the Jiangdu City like a tide, and there were more than 100 ships coming from all over the country every day.
Yang Xuanning couldn't help but look, although the royal car arrived, the people knelt, but also could see that there were not only shops along the street, but also the vendors who set up stalls to echo the shops, and the goods bought and sold were even more varied, everything.
I couldn't help but be happy in my heart, and when I was about to say something, I suddenly reported that someone in front of me was blocking the road, claiming to be the lord of Xiangyang City, and the forbidden army in front did not dare to arbitrarily decide, so I came to invite
"Let him come. Yang Xuanning thought to himself, could this guy have caught up?
After a while, several people stepped forward, and they had already seen the huge imperial chariot, bowed to the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Xiangyang City Lord Qian Duguan, meet Tang King Chitose Chitose Chitose!"
Although the voice is not loud, the words are clear and lingering in the ears, which shows the realm of his first-rate master.
Of course, Yang Xuanning couldn't let such a dangerous person into the car, so he said immediately: "It's really hard for the City Lord of Qian to come from afar, this is not the place to speak, and he will talk with the widow when he enters the palace." β
"Yes, King Tang. β
Enter the Royal Palace. I didn't go to the main hall first, I found a side hall, this side hall is quite simple, but it is still relatively exquisite, I can go inside, after sitting down, I have my own guards to lay down a defensive circle, and I summoned Qian Duguan and others.
Not for a moment. The three of them stepped forward, only to see one person in the middle, slender and long, light and powerful, with a compelling momentum, showing the demeanor of a first-class master.
"Xiangyang City Lord Qian Duguan, meet Tang King Chitose Chitose Chitose!" he knelt down. The leader said.
Yang Xuanning collected his heart and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please get up, give me a seat!"
"King Xie Tang. Qian Duguan stood up, and he felt a chill, he felt that there were at least thirty people in ambush nearby, and two of them were ambushed. The breath seemed to be nothing, showing that the martial arts of these two people would never be much inferior to their own, which was really frightening.
After the three of them took their seats, Yang Xuan said calmly: "I don't know what happened when the city lord of Qian came to see the widow?"
Qian Duguan said calmly: "Jingxu Erzhou is going down, and the Tang King is now living in the sixty-nine counties of Jingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, and Lingnan in the past, and there is no one in the world more than the Tang King. How dare the villain disobey the king of Tang, and he is willing to sacrifice the city to serve the king. β
Yang Xuanning was a little surprised, and said happily: "The Qing family is indeed a fast talker, which makes the widow very pleased, well, the Qing family has contributed to the city, I don't know what the requirements are." Although. β
Qian Duguan lowered his eyebrows and said softly: "Thank you, the king." The minister has no ambition since he was young. I only hope to be rich and noble and live in Gentle Township for a long time, and the minister will take Xiangyang that day. It is precisely for the sake of waiting for such a clear lord as the king, at this time, that the king will unify the world as soon as possible, so that all the people can live in peace, and there is nothing else to ask for. β
Although Yang Xuanning has long been extremely thick-skinned and accustomed to hearing such hypocritical words, when this Yin Sect local said this, his heart was still creepy, of course, this expression would not be exposed, after all, the other party was a political statement.
Although this kind of political statement is based on Yang Xuanning's good spare time, did not recklessly attack Xiangyang, and obtained the entire Xujing Erzhou at this time, and no one in the south can compete with it, but it can be regarded as wise, after all, this person saw that the overall situation was not good, and there was no room for bargaining, so he immediately dared to chase after him, which was really decisive.
At this time, Shen Luoyan said with a smile: "The Lord of Qian City really understands self-humility. I heard that the lord of the city had a lot of opportunities every day, and he had tried to work day and night for seven days, but he did not take half a step out of the official office, and his energy was so vigorous that he was admirable. β
These words are obviously to praise Qian Duguan, but in fact, they imply that they know everything about Qian Duguan's situation and warn him not to play tricks.
Qian Duguan coughed dryly, and said a little stunned: "This is Miss Shen, that was when she first took over Xiangyang, for the people in the city, the minister had to do this." β
"Qian Qing's family loves the people like a son, and abandons the darkness to the light, the widow is very happy, the widow will crown you as the son of Han Shui, give you 3,000 acres of land, first receive the five products, and wait for the ministry to appoint you to work, how about it?"
"Thank you, King Shanglongen. "Qian Duguan is a little dissatisfied with the dedication of this city and a viscount, but after all, he has been awarded the rank of a five-grade official, and he can naturally be transferred to other counties as a taishou in the future, which is equivalent to obtaining a legal identity by turning into a regular person, and he should kneel down.
"Who are these two behind the Qing family?"
"Your Majesty, this is Zheng Shiru, a friend of the minister, when the minister was the lord of the city, he benefited a lot, this is the concubine of the minister, Bai Qing'er. β
"Well, Zheng Shiru, the widow gave you the seventh grade, and the position was awarded according to the division, as for Bai Qing'er, the widow gave Ruyi a handle. β
The two knelt down and stepped forward, but Yang Xuanning looked carefully, Zheng Shiru was in his thirties, his appearance was rough, he had a handful of beards, and he could be regarded as a charming person, and Bai Qing'er was really quite beautiful, with black and shiny hair, lined with skin better than snow, his demeanor was elegant and lovely, solemn and reserved, but when his eyes were first-class, his affectionate and slightly shy demeanor was extremely moving.
If she is an outsider, she thinks that this woman is a decent wife, but of course Yang Xuanning doesn't think so.
Knowing her identity, and looking at it again, although she belongs to the Yin Sect and knows how to collect best, but in addition to her hair being bloody, pay attention to the color of her hair, and know that her physique is by no means as weak as her appearance, and she has a superb qigong foundation. Her delicate skin was not innate, but she had been practicing some kind of magic skill for a long time, and her white color was faintly bright.
Seeing Yang Xuanning looking at her intently, Zheng Shiru and Qian Duguan each glanced at each other, revealing a strange look.
