At dusk, Yang Ji returned to the palace from the West Market. As soon as he walked around the screen wall, he bumped head-on with the chief steward Gongsun Huan.
"I have met the young master." Gongsun Huan saluted.
"Master, no courtesy." Yang Ji saw him walking in a hurry and asked, "Master, are you looking for me?"
"Sir, several generals serving in the East Palace have been waiting in the side hall for a long time." Gongsun Huan glanced at the iron box in Yang Ji's hand, with a very complicated look in his eyes, and sighed as if he was in another world: "I didn't expect that after so many years, This seal has arrived at the palace again. The young master has grown up."
"Master, will you be my military advisor?" Yang Ji said with a smile.
"I won't go." Gongsun Huan shook his head suddenly and said, "I have a great time counting money in the mansion every day. I don't want to suffer the pain of marching again."
"Haha!" Yang Ji smiled and walked towards the left side hall next to the main hall. In fact, he was just talking. My mother and Su Yunniang, the general manager of the inner courtyard, went to Luoyang to buy land. All the affairs of the palace were now on Gongsun Huan's shoulders. If they also left, the palace would be in chaos.
When I walked to the palace gate, I saw five generals talking. When everyone saw Yang Ji arriving, they quickly stood up and saluted: "In this humble position, I see His Highness King Wei."
"Excuse me, generals!" Yang Ji glanced around and found that these five generals turned out to be Wang Bian, Wang Wei, Wang Xingben, Yao Junsu, and Gao Junya. These five people are all famous figures in history. Now they are in the East Palace. A capable person.
At present, Wang Bian is the oldest and has the highest military rank, and is obviously the commander-in-chief of the 5,000 East Palace soldiers.
"Did the prince tell you about this mission?" Yang Jixiao asked.
Wang Bian cupped his hands and said: "Back to Your Highness, the Crown Prince has made it clear that we should obey your orders."
"In that case, I won't be verbose." Yang Ji pondered for a moment and said: "Guazhou is the front line for our raid on Yiwu. However, it is more than a thousand miles away from Daxing to Guazhou, and there are countless miles from Ganzhou to Guazhou. A hundred miles away. No matter where we start from, it is a long-distance attack. It would be good if our soldiers can exert half of their combat power. And I, the general manager of Liangzhou, don't even have an assistant officer, so I need at least three to five days to prepare. If you include the time to meet with Liangzhou officials, you will be wasted a lot of time, so I decided to let you go to Guazhou to rest for a few days and prepare for the battle."
"Your Highness has thought carefully." Wang Bian cupped his hands and said: "But Guazhou has always only had five thousand troops. If we suddenly increase the number of five thousand troops and stay in Guazhou for too long, I am afraid that Yiwu will notice it and our army will lose the chance to attack. Wonderful effect.”
"He Ruohuaikuo, the former general manager of Guazhou, has committed local crimes and has been detained by the court. There are many officials and military officers who have returned with him. After such a long time, Yiwu must have known about it. After you arrive, on the one hand, you will use Liangzhou In the name of the General Manager's Office, we are cleaning up the officialdom and pulling out all the fish that have slipped through the net. On the other hand, we are training the local garrison." Yang Ji smiled slightly: "As long as you make the local area crazy with great fanfare, even if the Yiwu Kingdom is aware of it, , I also think that our Sui Dynasty is normal to purge and change defenses."
Wang Bian's face showed excitement, and he asked happily: "Your Highness, are you doing the opposite?"
"That's right." Yang Ji nodded and said, "Yiwu is a small country with few people, but it is located between three powerful countries. They must have a large number of scouts on the border. If we attack long distances, it will be difficult to hide from these scouts. Instead of In this case, it is better to let it pass openly, they may be nervous for a while, but when they see that our army is just reorganizing in Guazhou, they will naturally connect the case with He Ruohuaikuo, and then relax."
"Your Highness is wise." Wang Bian was impressed in his heart. The truth Yang Ji said was completely taking advantage of the blind spots of human nature, just like he would not think of the enemy's camp stealing in broad daylight.
"Where are the five thousand soldiers in the East Palace now?" Yang Ji knew that the eight soldiers in the East Palace were Yang Guang's soldiers. Not only did Yang Jian not allow them to enter the city and camp, but Yang Guang himself would not commit such a taboo, so he asked this question .
Wang Bian replied: "Reporting to your highness, the soldiers are stationed in Chang'an City of Han Dynasty. They can set off at any time as long as the order is issued."
"When you are ready, set off before dawn." Yang Ji thought for a moment and then said: "You can decide the specific departure time by yourself. You can also decide by yourself about weapons, food and grass, etc. Anyway, you all have to decide. Better than me."
"Here." Wang Bian and others were most worried about Yang Ji's blind command. Seeing that he was self-aware, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Ji found a sample official document, and then, under the gaze of five pairs of strange eyes, he wrote a few orders in an orderly manner, and finally stamped them with the personal seals of the Liangzhou governor, Liangzhou general manager, and himself.
Whenever there is an important appointment in the imperial court, official documents will be issued to the places related to it in an urgent manner of 800 miles on the same day. According to time calculation, Qizhou and Qinzhou, which are adjacent to the capital, have long known about Yang Ji's appointment as the general manager of Liangzhou, so he is not worried that the places where the army passes will not recognize his orders and deny permission and supplies to the army. .
. . . . . . . . . .
After the five generals left, Yang Ji turned to the backyard. He didn't know how long it would take to go to Liangzhou this time, so some necessary preparations were definitely needed.
However, when they arrived at the atrium, they found that the servants were packing their things. Judging from their appearance, they had been busy for a long time. It is estimated that when he entered the palace to face the saint, Gongsun Huan had already guessed the outcome, so he had already asked people to pack his luggage.
Yang Ji didn't ask any more questions and walked directly to the courtyard where Zhang Chuchen, Liu Rumei, Murong Xianyue and others were. This time, he planned to take several Suzaku guards to Liangzhou in order to deal with possible assassinations.
These ten Suzaku guards, except for Zhang Chuchen, who only has his mother, all have complete families. Their parents and brothers have been placed in the farm under the name of the prince, and they work there temporarily. As long as the government grants the land and approves it, they will have their own You can also use your homestead or farmland to "work" in a shop during slack times. Zhang Chuchen's mother, on the other hand, could not go anywhere. Fortunately, she was good at calligraphy and painting, so she stayed in a private school as a teacher.
After passing the winding path and entering the courtyard, I happened to see Zhang Chuchen and Liu Rumei practicing martial arts in the courtyard.
Although the Suzaku Guard has been established, there is very little they can teach, because the main study items of the chubby girls and the maids in the mansion are physical training; as for the girls bought from the brothels, they can learn very little knowledge. Ordinary singers can teach them their talents. Only during physical training do Zhang Chuchen and others need to come forward. In addition, Yang Ji did not have any assassination missions, so Zhang Chuchen and the others were very free.
Maybe it was because no men came to their yard, so they dressed more casually, but that didn't matter. The key was that Zhang Chuchen seemed to be teaching Liu Rumei to practice a kind of yoga-like Kung Fu.
I saw Liu Rumei's legs standing firmly on the ground in a split position, then her whole body folded back, her head came out from between the legs, her hands came back to hold her ankles from behind, and her buttocks were raised high and stretched into A big peach with charming lines, and a plump little peach hidden in the middle of the big peach.
Yang Ji took one look and turned back like a top. Liu Rumei also saw him and stood up like lightning. She was so bent, her pretty face was already red, but now she seemed to be even redder.
"Master!" Although Zhang Chuchen didn't laugh out loud, his eyes turned into crescent moons with joy, and he was very happy in his heart. If Yang Ji had come earlier, he would be the one who was embarrassed.
"Mr. Young Master..." Liu Rumei's face was as red as a flame.
Yang Ji quickly said: "I'm sorry, I have to announce something big and I'm disturbing your practice."
"You, please turn around." Liu Rumei was relieved when he heard this, but he had just shown his wonderful appearance, and he didn't know what he saw. When he thought of this, his whole body was burning.
Yang Ji turned around as he said and saw Liu Rumei's thin silk jacket stretched out from her belt, revealing a small white waist. Liu Rumei followed his eyes and looked down, and awkwardly stuffed the jacket back into her belt, but she pulled it down so hard that her chest became extremely prominent.
Zhang Chuchen laughed "poof", faced his sister's murderous gaze, and immediately explained with a dull expression: "Sister Rumei, we have received strict training together. No matter how funny it is, we will not laugh unless we endure it." Can’t live.”
Yang Ji couldn't help but laugh, and said quickly: "I'm not laughing at you, but what Chuchen said is really funny."
"Yes, yes." Zhang Chuchen smiled even more.
"You are obviously laughing at me." Liu Rumei was even more embarrassed, so wronged that she almost cried.
Yang Ji quickly interrupted: "The saint appointed me as the governor of Liangzhou and the general manager of Liangzhou. Do you understand?"
"I heard it!" The two women nodded.
"I seem to have offended a lot of people in the capital, so I am going to let you accompany me." After Yang Ji stated his purpose, he continued: "Chuchen and Murong Xianyue are very skilled in martial arts; Rumeijing is good at disguise. It might come in handy, so all three of you are going.”
"Of course we have no problem." Zhang Chuchen asked: "It's just that we are gone, who will train the Suzaku Guards?"
"The foundation of the Suzaku Guard is shallow, and there are too few places where you are needed. Keeping you all here is a waste of talents. I am going to leave three people to be responsible for this." Yang Ji asked: "Which of you , whose martial arts is worse?"
"Liu Catkin, Lu Siqi, and Xian Yufang are relatively poor in martial arts." Zhang Chuchen thought for a while and said, "Liu Catkin can replace me, Lu Siqi can replace Sister Rumei, and Xian Yufang can replace Murong Xianyue."
"That's it, let the three of them stay to train the Suzaku Guards, and the seven of you will follow me to Liangzhou." After Yang Ji said this, he said with a smile: "Weapons and equipment are the second life of a warrior, but you The weapons used are relatively poor, if you need anything, just go to Mr. Gongsun, he won’t make things difficult for you.”
"Thank you, Master." Zhang Chuchen and Liu Rumei were overjoyed.
At this moment, Murong Xianyue came quickly and saluted: "Master, Su Dan, the grandson of Su Wei, and Li Jing, the meritorious official of Chang'an County, are holding letters of recommendation from Su Pushe and Li Pushe to see you."
