"Six doors, or factory guards, which department does Luo Yan intend to be in charge of?" Cao Xu asked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Shen Luoyan stroked the hair of her sideburns, smiled, and said, "I am willing to take charge of the factory guard for the saint." ”

Cao Xu nodded and said, "As you wish, I will give you another hundred taels of gold and a pair of jade." ”

After Shen Luoyan retreated, Cao Xu summoned Luo Shixin, Pei Renji and Pei Xingyan, and after some encouragement, they also had their own rewards.

Later, Cao Xu came to the political affairs hall.

The head of the household department is still the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry Lu Miaozi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites Song Shidao, and the Wei Zheng who is in charge of the city of the city, as well as the new secretary of the military department Shi Zhixuan, the secretary of the criminal department Lu Chu, and the secretary of the Ministry of officials Yuan Wen are all seven people.

Yuan Wendu has served as the Inner Shi Sheren, Shangshu Zuocheng, Taifu Qing Shi Dafu and other positions, quite famous.

Lu Chu was in the year of the Great Cause, and the official worshiped Shangshu Youshilang, and he was very worried about the minister. Most of the bureaucrats in the eastern capital do not follow the law, and they do not evade every correction.

Among the civil and military officials in Luoyang, these two were selected by Cao Xu and became the representatives of the officials of the Luoyang department.

After seeing Cao Xu, they saluted together and said, "Holy and blessed." ”

Cao Xu said: "Zhuqing, please get up, please take a seat." ”

In this era, although the monarchy flourished through the Qin and Han dynasties, the core ministers had the qualification to "sit and talk about the Tao".

"The first thing I did today was to set up the Ministry of Commerce in addition to the six ministries. What is your opinion?" said Cao Xu after sitting down.

Everyone has already passed the anger of this matter, and naturally no one will jump out to stop it.

"Wei Qing, from today onwards, you will be promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce. Cao Xu said.

"Thank you. Wei Zheng thanked him.

Immediately, someone took Wei Zheng to the side of the room to change his official uniform.

"Pei Qing, let's talk about the changes in the situation in the world. Cao Xu squinted his eyes slightly and said.

Shi Zhixuan stood up, walked to the side of the hanging map, pointed to the direction of Taiyuan north of Luoyang, and said: "Xuanwu Wei reported that the traitor Liu Wuzhou accepted Song Jingang's proposal to 'enter Jinyang and fight for the world in the south'. ”

This is a great trouble for the henchmen of the Great Sui since its independence.

However, since the split of the Eastern and Western Turks, the Turks have also suffered a great loss of vitality. After Yang Guang's third expedition to Goryeo, after the chaos in the world, the Eastern/Turkic Turks were unable to attack directly, and the strategy set was to take the opportunity to support the anti-Sui forces in various places to raise troops and wantonly divide and manipulate in order to aggravate the war in the Central Plains.

The division of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty and the rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Western Jin Dynasty made the Turks deeply understand that only the continuous internal friction in the Central Plains could they have a chance. Dou Jiande, Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shidu, Li Rail, Gao Kaidao, etc., all of these people were vassals in the north and were called Turkic Khans, and the same was true of Li Valve.

"I remember that the one who guarded Taiyuan County should be Li Tang's Qi King Li Yuanji, right?" Cao Xu asked.

"Back to the saint, this is the person. Shi Zhixuan said.

"One Li Yuanji alone can't stop Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang, who have strong support from the Turks. Cao Xu said.

"What does the Holy One mean?" Shi Zhixuan asked.

"Let Li Jing train the cavalry and catch the cicada with the praying mantis, how can there be no yellow finch behind. Cao Xu said.

Pei Ju said with a smile: "This news will make General Li wake up laughing in his sleep." ”

For a while, the monarchs and ministers of the political hall laughed in unison.

Although the strategy of "easy first and then difficult" has long been set, the opportunity is in front, but it cannot be wasted.

Wei Zheng, who had changed into his official uniform, returned to the political hall, although he was confused, he also smiled slightly.

"How's the casting of the Shenwei cannon going?" Cao Xu asked.

"After returning to the Holy Shrine and clearing the temple of the rebellion in the south, a large number of bronzes have been obtained, and a Shenwei cannon has been successfully cast, which is being debugged. It will be done in a few days. Lu Miaozi said.

"Good. Cao Xu nodded in praise.

The Shenwei cannon is a large-caliber bronze cannon, which is really used to attack the city. A kind of general in the General's Mansion is very much looking forward to the Shenwei cannon.

It seems that people like Shan Xiongxin who have an enmity with Li Tang are always thinking about attacking Tongguan and entering the pass.

In the political hall, the monarchs and ministers will agree on all the major events in the world one by one.

Cao Xu walked out of the imperial study and climbed a high-rise building, as far as the eye could see, the imperial city, the palace city, and the outer city all came into view.

Standing at the pinnacle of the Emperor of Humanity, he slowly comprehended the infinite vastness and endless mysteries of heaven and earth beyond humanity.

Sitting on hundreds of millions of sentient beings, the fate of the world is turned over in the palm of the hand, the beauty is like jade, enjoy it, the power is boundless, the glory is incomparable, it can be described as the real "mountain climbs to the top of the peak, I am the peak".

From a spectator to a master, the desires of the human heart are satisfied, standing at such a height, looking up to heaven and earth, and everything that belongs to man is everything.

In April of the second year of Wude, Cao Xu ordered Li Zitong to be the main one, supplemented by Shan Xiongxin, and led his troops to sit in Hongnong County to guard against Li Tang.

Li Jing and Luo Shixin crossed the Yellow River, went out of Changping County, and watched Taiyuan County in the north.

Xu Shiji, Cheng Zhijie, Pei Renji and other generals led Bingqing, Xu and other places.

Liu Wuzhou in the north attacked Taiyuan, and Liang Shi attacked Lingzhou, both of which were actively expanding their own power.

It's a pity that the Sui army didn't press on Tongguan, otherwise Li Yuan would have the heart to move the capital to Hanzhong.

In August, the Sui army pacified the land of Qing and Xu, and confronted Dou Jiande across the river.

At the same time, Liu Wuzhou was like a bamboo, advancing to Jinyang. Li Yuanji and his wife and concubine abandoned the state overnight and returned to Chang'an.

Li Jing took the opportunity to go north, taking advantage of firearms to break Liu Wuzhou's department. Chase all the way to Yanmen County.

So far, most of Shanxi has been recovered by the Sui army.

Liu Wuzhou fled to the Turks.

At this time, the Eastern/Turkic Shibi Khan died of illness, and the Turks were unstable and had no time to take care of anything else.

Li Jing took the opportunity to expand the results of the battle, and took Dingxiang County in the north, pushing the Sui army's defense line beyond the Great Wall.

After learning the internal intelligence of the Turks, Cao Xu immediately led a large army to the west, advancing by land and water, and attacking Tongguan.

The reason why he did not attack Tongguan at the beginning was that he was afraid that Li Tanggou would jump off the wall in a hurry and lead the Turkic cavalry into the pass.

Now is a godsend, and you can't miss it.

Tongguan was not set up in the Eastern Han Dynasty before, to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao in order to prevent the rebellion in the west of the Guanxi, only in the first year of Jian'an began to set up Tongguan.

Tongguan is named after water, "the river flows south in the Guan, Tongjiguan Mountain, because it is called Tongguan." ”

There is the Qinling Barrier in the south, there is the Yellow River moat in the north, there is the year in the east, there is the natural defense line that crosses the east and west, such as the forbidden ditch, the original Wanggou, the Manluo River, etc., and it is bound to become "close the door and choke Kyushu, and the birds can not pass".

However, the so-called checkpoints are just people's success.

At this time, it was early in the morning, and the wind blew the handsome flag hunting.

Cao Xu stood on the bow of the boat and looked into the distance, looking at the Yellow River in the distance, where there were faint warships. (To be continued.) )
