Yi Yang Gao had never thought that Princess Yicheng would misunderstand him. He was immediately shocked and hurriedly pushed his hands to refuse: "The emperor is joking. Princess Ashina and I have just met for the first time. How can we talk about life-long events?"
Princess Yicheng thought Yang Gao was being reserved, so she continued to persuade with a smile: "Your Majesty is joking. Since ancient times, marriage has been a major event, the orders of parents, and the words of matchmakers. Although I am not Liyun's biological mother, she still calls me mother. . Since the Yanmen Incident, the relationship between the Sui Dynasty and the Turks has been bad. Liyun entering the palace to serve His Majesty can also repair the relationship between the Sui Dynasty and the Turks. "
Ashina Liyun who was on the side heard Princess Yicheng's words and immediately understood her intention. She immediately knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Majesty is a dragon and a phoenix among men. Liyun is willing to enter the palace to serve your Majesty!"
Yang Gao was well aware of the intentions of Princess Yicheng and Ashina Liyun, but he hated such political marriages most in his life, and he had no intention of restoring the Turks.
However, Princess Yicheng is her elder after all, and if she refuses in person, it will inevitably disgrace her face. Then he gave Princess Yicheng and his daughter a careless look: "What the imperial aunt said does make some sense, but I have to ask my mother for instructions on this matter first."
Princess Yicheng nodded when she heard this: "The Queen Mother is your majesty's legitimate mother. We should discuss this matter with her first."
Yang Gao pretended to greet Princess Yicheng again, and hurriedly got out, turning his attention to Fang Xuanling, Zhan Zhao and his party: "Fang Aiqing, Guard Zhan, and Ouyang Qianhu, you have worked hard to escort the princess along the way. I know your merits in my heart, and I will reward you well when I return to Jiangdu!"
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty!" The three people hurriedly knelt on the ground to thank Tian En.
Yang Gao nodded slightly, then glanced at the red lady next to the three of them. He saw that this woman was tall and dressed in a red robe. She had a hot figure and was quite pretty. Secretly, there seemed to be no such person among the Jinyi Guards, so he asked curiously: "I wonder who this girl is..."
Fang Xuanling hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, this red girl is a chivalrous woman in the world. Thanks to her servants along the way, she was able to bring the princess back safe and sound. Her husband Li Yan was originally the son of the rebellious minister Li Yuan. Subordinates..."
Just as Fang Xuanling was introducing the origin of the Red Lady, Yang Gao also heard a system prompt in his mind: "Ding dong, the intruder character Red Lady has been detected. Commander 84, Force 83, Intelligence 80, Politics 72, Charm 95.”
"It turns out that the Red Lady was taken out by Li Zicheng when he invaded a long time ago. I remember that Li Yan was made the scapegoat for Li Jiancheng's defeat of Jingxiang. It seems that the Red Lady intends to avenge her husband!"
As soon as the system prompted, Yang Gao understood the purpose of Lady Hong's coming here. After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, she said, "Miss Hong has done a great job in escorting Princess Yicheng. I will absolve you of your previous sins and allow you to join the army and avenge your husband!"
When the red lady heard this, she was overjoyed. She immediately kowtowed to thank Tianen and said, "Thank you so much for Your Majesty's kindness. In the next life, I am willing to tie a ring of grass in my hand to repay His Majesty's kindness!"
"Miss Hong, please wake up quickly!"
Yang Gao raised his hand to signal the red lady to stand up, and encouraged her a few more words. Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of rapid horse hoofbeats in the distance. A scribe rode up and shouted: "Report, Your Majesty, urgent military information. I have urgent military information to report!"
The civil servant galloped in front of Yang Gao, hurriedly rolled off his saddle and dismounted, bowed his hands and said, "My humble minister Zhang Shuye is here to see your Majesty!"
"Lord Zhang, he is exempt from the courtesy!"
Yang Gao waved his hand and asked in a deep voice: "Master Zhang is so rude, what happened?"
Zhang Shuye hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the Qingzhou bandit Song Jiang raised troops to attack us during the Sui Dynasty. Li Kui, the vanguard at the front, was extremely cruel. After his attack on Xuchang County was blocked, he raised troops to massacre the city!"
As soon as Zhang Shuye said these words, everyone present looked shocked and froze in place. Yang Gao's eyes widened and he stared at Zhang Shuye: "What did you say, massacre the city?"
Zhang Shuye nodded solemnly, with a look of sorrow and indignation on his face: "Your Majesty, more than 14,000 soldiers and civilians in Xuchang County were tragically killed by the bandits' butcher knives!"
"Asshole, butcher, I will cut this evil thief into pieces and divide him into five pieces!"
At this moment, Yang Gao no longer had the mind to pay attention to Princess Yicheng and his entourage. He ordered in a deep voice: "Pass my decree and immediately mobilize the garrison near Pengcheng. I will personally lead the expedition and capture this murderous butcher alive."
. . . . . . . . . .
Li Kui's massacre in Xuchang County angered all Sui officials. Yang Gao issued an order, and officials at all levels, regardless of civil or military status, and regardless of grade, went all out to carry out the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, vowing to capture alive the murderous demon Li Kui and pay homage to the tens of thousands of innocent soldiers and civilians in Xuchang County.
Three days later, Yang Gao led a group of civil and military personnel including Yu Wen Chengdu, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Liu Bowen, Fang Xuanling, Zhang Shuye and 50,000 troops from Pengcheng and attacked Dongping County.
At night, Yang Gao's imperial tent was still brightly lit.
Yang Gao, wearing a golden helmet and golden armor, sat in the first place. Liu Bowen, Qin Qiong, Fang Xuanling, Yu Wenchengdu and other civil and military generals were divided into priorities. Zhang Shuye, who is responsible for collecting military information, is introducing the situation of Song Jiang's army in detail to everyone in the tent.
"After Li Kui massacred Xuchang County, he continued to raise troops to go south and conquered Suchang County. Although he did not massacre the city like Xuchang County, he still killed all the officials and their families."
Yang Gao's face was livid, and he gritted his teeth and said: "A group of murderous butchers are really abominable. According to my decree, in future battles, we will never accept the surrender of these evil thieves!"
All the civil and military officials in the tent raised their hands and said, "I will obey the Holy Orders!"
Yang Gao paused and asked Zhang Shuye: "Zhang Qing, where is Song Jiang's main army now?"
Zhang Shuye cupped his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, according to reports from the scouts, Song Jiang's army has been stationed in Pingyan Town near Juyeze since four days ago, and their movements are unknown."
"Excellent, Your Majesty, this is a God-given opportunity!"
As soon as Zhang Shuye finished speaking, General Nan Jiyun said loudly: "Pingyan Town is a hundred miles away from Suchang County, and Li Kui's lone army went deep, which gave us the opportunity to encircle and annihilate him in one fell swoop. The last general is not talented, but I hope We have three thousand elite soldiers, march under the stars and night, and raid Suchang. We will definitely kill Li Kui and pay homage to the tens of thousands of living beings in Xuchang City."
Nan Jiyun has been staying in Jiangdu in the past few years. He is jealous as he watches his former colleagues make achievements on the battlefield and gain promotions. This time when a fighter opportunity suddenly appeared, he immediately jumped out to ask for a fight.
Luo Shixin, Qin Yong and other brave generals also came out to ask for battle: "The last general is willing to go with General Nan to capture this murderous demon Li Kui alive!"
