Turbulent Times Chapter 684: Something other than war

Yang Su thought for a while, and said: "The veteran recommends two people, you can choose one of them, one is Li Zixiong, the former governor of Jiangshan, who is now in Luoyang, and has a strong commanding ability..."

Before he finished speaking, Yu Wenshu immediately objected, "Your Majesty, Li Zixiong lacks qualifications and may not be competent. The veteran recommends Li Jing, the governor of the Daizhou. Heavy duty."

Yang Guang also came from commanding a large army. He knows the importance of a commander's heart. Although Li Jing recommended by Yu Wenshu is a famous general, if he doesn't cooperate with Yang Su, it is very likely that the army will be defeated, so he shook his head. Dao: "Daizhou is also important, and you can't change generals temporarily. I also know Li Zixiong. He has made outstanding achievements in Pingchen, so he is the commander of the army of Youzhou. Yu Wenhua can be a good general for him."

Yang Guang immediately made a decision, "Go to Luoyang immediately to convey my will, make Li Zixiong the top general and the governor of Lanzhou, and order him to rush to Youzhou immediately."

…

This time, Wang Junlin slept for a whole day and night.

When I woke up, it happened to be dawn. When the sun rises, the sunlight refracts the mist, producing colorful lights. The entire mountain col is surrounded by this colorful mist, just like a magical world full of mystery and fairy charm.

Outside the crack in the mountain, Nie Xiaoyu was still standing there straight, as if she hadn't moved a bit.

Wang Junlin stretched his waist, his whole body was so sore that he was dying. When he came out, Shen Guang was already waiting outside.

"How long have I been asleep?"

"Grandfather, you have slept for a whole day and night."

"No wonder I'm so hungry." Wang Junlin rubbed his belly and laughed at himself, "Do you know what's going on outside the mountain?"

"Yesterday, the spies sent by the humble official came to report that the army of the Rilian Department and Bingzhou had already started fighting."

"That's right, my hard work was not in vain!" Wang Junlin was talking, when he saw Xiao Fenger appearing from nowhere and walking towards him with a bowl of porridge and rice, Wang Junlin didn't wait for her to say politely What, I directly took the porridge and rice, and ate it two or three times.

Xiao Feng'er was stunned for a moment, took the empty bowl and left happily.

Wang Junlin ignored Xiao Feng'er, and continued to ask Shen Guang: "What's going on with the army of Bingzhou and the people of the Rilian Department?"

"According to the information obtained by the spies, the Rilian tribe suffered a little loss in several confrontations. However, there were also many casualties in Bingzhou, and the two sides seemed to be a bit anxious." Shen Guang replied with a smile.

"This is the result I want!" Wang Junlin was equally delighted, as long as there was a conflict between Bingzhou and the people from the Rilian Department, his plan was already half successful.

At this time, there was a burst of fragrance from the mountain depression, which made Wang Junlin's stomach growl. He didn't ask any more questions, but quickened his pace and ran to the campfire.

Xiao Feng'er personally beat a gazelle, killed it, cooked a pot of broth with the leg of the lamb, and was waiting for Wang Junlin with a smile on her face.

…

…

Wang Junlin and his party stayed in the mountains for three days and rested for three days before everyone recovered physically and mentally.

During the three days, Wang Junlin kept sending people to inquire about the news. The Rilian Department and Bingzhou were completely torn apart, but under the conscious control of Gao Ying and the chief of the Rilian Department, the scale of the war was always controlled within 10,000 people, which disappointed Wang Junlin. But when I think about whether it is Gao Ying or the chief of the Rilian Department, they are not simple people. How can I not see that he is behind all this, but most of the Rilian Department's tribesmen are not I know that the chief will always let them vent their hatred, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the tribe, not to mention that his only son is also dead. Although the rightful owner is Wang Junlin, he still needs to kill some Han people to be buried with his son.

It stands to reason that when Bingzhou and the Rilian Department started fighting, Wang Junlin's first reaction was to take the opportunity to flee to Youzhou from the northeast of Bingzhou.

But he held back, in his opinion, now is not the best time, and he has other ideas.

"Grandpa, when are we going to leave Bingzhou?" On the third day, Shen Guang finally couldn't help running over to ask.

"Don't worry, don't worry!" Wang Junlin's eyes flickered, and if he said with deep meaning: "I always feel that Gao Ying has secretly reached a new agreement with the chief of the Rilian Ministry. The war in China is a scene, even a scene where they use up each other's disloyal people."

"You mean, Gao Ying and the chief of the Rilian Department are waiting for us to appear." Shen Guang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said.

"That's right, it's not true... Hehe, Gao Ying didn't think about our plan to flee to Youzhou, he would definitely send a large army to block the intersection leading to Youzhou. Let's go out now, and we will hit them Trap. If I am not mistaken, the army of the imperial court should launch an attack on Bingzhou soon. When Gao Ying is busy mobilizing the army to deal with the army of the imperial court, we will play by ear. So, now, what we compare with Gao Ying is patience. "

"Grandfather is wise."

…

…

In the middle of the night, the sky of Sui capital began to drizzle. Surrounded by two hundred guards, Yang Su drove towards the palace in a carriage. Yang Guang eliminated dissidents and controlled the court and the army in his heart. , He has also been preparing for the attack on Bingzhou. Just as Wang Junlin guessed, Yang Su has sufficient confidence to capture Bingzhou because he has made arrangements in Bingzhou many years ago.

Now he has been preparing for the battle for nearly a month, and the 200,000 troops mobilized from Longyou, Guanzhong, and Hanzhong have successively assembled in Fengyi County of Tongzhou. Tomorrow he will rush to Fengyi County and formally lead the army to conquer Bingzhou.

On the eve of his departure, Yang Guang ordered him to enter the palace to discuss military affairs. Yang Su had to admire Yang Guang's diligent administration. By two o'clock, it had lasted for nearly a month, which made Yang Su have to admire Yang Guang's abundant energy.

Perhaps it was the drizzle in the night sky, which made Yang Su's mood a little more desolate. He leaned on the soft couch in the carriage, silently thinking about the future of their Hongnong Yang family.

He has reached the age of sixty, and he has not been able to protect his family for a few years, especially some of his old illnesses have shown signs of aggravation and deterioration in the past two years, which filled him with worry. He knew that he would not live for a few years. Worries about his family made him feel a deep sense of urgency. He had to make arrangements for his family's funeral affairs before he passed away. This time, trying to grab the task of attacking Bingzhou was one of the important arrangements. , but for some reason, he had a vague feeling that he might have done something wrong this time, and he shouldn't be the commander in chief of the Conquest of Bingzhou.

Decades of **** career and insight into the rise and fall of thousands of years of history have given him a kind of foresight and wisdom that is difficult for ordinary people to reach. He knows very well that there is a deep crisis hidden in his family, and this crisis is Yang Su himself. , Not only is his meritorious deeds high, but he is too deeply involved in the royal infighting. The death of at least two of the five sons of the late emperor Yang Jian has a deep relationship with him.

Yang Su had a faint feeling that Yang Guang ordered him to be the commander of the conquest of Bingzhou. Sensing his fate, Bingzhou Gaoying might be the last cunning rabbit.

Actually, Yang Su is not worried about himself. He is old, he has not lived long in the world, and he has made enough military exploits. . What he is worried about is his family descendants. There are too many members of the Hongnong Yang clan who are in high positions. In fact, they all rely on his wings. It can be said that the fall of the Yang family is a matter of time.

It doesn't matter if you lose, the key is to have successors, this is the root of the Yang family's survival for a hundred years, but so far, none of the younger generations of their Yang family has been outstanding. Originally, his eldest grandson was always favored by him. He was killed by Wang Junlin, which is one of the reasons why he was so cruel to Wang Junlin, and he didn't kill Wang Junlin. After he died, it would not be difficult to destroy the Yang family with Wang Junlin's means. .

Sighing, Yang Su suddenly realized that the attack on Bingzhou this time did not seem to be as important as killing Wang Junlin.

The carriage entered Suzaku Gate, and soon stopped in front of Chengtian Gate, where eunuchs had long been waiting, leading Yang Su to the Imperial Study Room of Taiye Hall.

In the imperial study room, Yang Guang was sitting in front of the map thinking about countermeasures against the rebellion. He had lost a lot of weight after spending more than a month as an emperor. But the damned Yang Liang and Gao Ying rebelled one after another, so many of his plans were stranded, which made him very anxious.

However, everything has pros and cons, and the rebellion in Bingzhou just made him find the first thing he was going to do next—a good excuse to move the capital, because it can be said that the old Northern Qi was unstable, and the capital was beyond reach.

But in any case, putting down the rebellion in Bingzhou is his top priority.

As an emperor, Yang Guang would not think about how to fight a war. This is not his business. He needs to think about this war from a higher level. Bingzhou will be wiped out quickly, and he has to consider whether this matter will allow Yang Su, who has power to control the army, to further control the army.

A chill flashed in Yang Guang's eyes. He wanted to test Yang Su today.

"Your Majesty, Taifu Yang is here." An **** reported at the door.

"Show him in."

Yang Guang sat back on his dragon couch. After a while, Yang Su was ushered in by the eunuch. Yang Su bowed deeply, "Veteran Yang Su sees Your Majesty!"

"Yang Aiqing went to war tomorrow morning, I'm sorry for calling Yang Aiqing tonight."

"It is the duty of the minister to share worries for His Majesty."

Yang Guang nodded, looked at Yang Su deeply, and said: "I invited Yang Aiqing here because I have an idea and want to hear Aiqing's opinion. Rebellious, what does Ai Qing think?"

PS: I'm sorry, tonight there is only one update of more than 3,000 words———
