As the farce ended, the empty Xuanzheng Hall fell into a deathly silence, and the atmosphere became very strange. The focus of the courtiers was no longer on the Japanese envoys who were taken away, but on the emperor and Yang Xuangan. When they saw the emperor letting Yang Xuangan go "lightly", they silently began to figure out the emperor's thoughts. Some people who are quick-thinking have already experienced a feeling of "the calm before the storm."
Niu Hong, who was friends with Yang Su, glanced at Yang Xuangan, who was returning to work silently, and saw that he was soulless and earth-colored. He couldn't help but sigh secretly, feeling extremely sad.
Think about Yang Su, how wise he is? What a hero? However, not long after his death, many children of the Yang family did many shocking and stupid things, causing the once-popular Yang family to lose their sacred heart step by step; and in the officialdom, first Yang Yue fell from the high position of the internal history order to the prefect. , and then Yang Xuangan made mistakes again and again.
It is true that the family business and real estate left by Yang Su are enough for the descendants of the Yang family to enjoy endlessly, but without outstanding children of the Yang family to carry the banner, his family will not be able to enjoy political treatment, and Yang Su has won thousands of dollars. Family wealth, in this situation with no heirs, not only cannot make the Yang family stronger, but has become the most fatal thing about the Yang family. This is the saying "every man is not guilty of carrying a jade in his possession".
The decline of the Yang family is a foregone conclusion, which is really sad!
When Yang Guang saw that his ministers were all looking at Yang Xuangan, with either joy, sadness, regret, or sympathy in their eyes, he paused for a moment and said slowly, "Just yesterday, I received a letter written by King Wei. "
Originally, Yang Guang planned to wait for the official news to arrive before announcing the good news, but he found that some people were looking at Yang Xuangan with malicious eyes. He was a little worried that these people would use the topic to cause trouble for him when he went down, so It was decided to suppress the matter with great military news.
This is a way for him to protect the Yang family, and it is also a way to repay Yang Su for his support. He hopes that Yang Xuangan understands his painstaking efforts, acts more low-key and serious in the future, and does not make such the stupidest and most brainless mistakes again.
When all the ministers in the palace heard this, their minds were attracted by the words "Letter written by King Wei personally".
Except for a limited number of Xiangguo and Duan Wenzhen, all the ministers were thinking secretly.
In the past few days, although there have been no success reports or battle reports from the western battlefield led by Yang Ji, the Liangzhou Prefectural Mufu has sent the results of the eastern battlefield from time to time. This not only gave the emperor the illusion of continuous good news, but also caused confusion among the officials and people in the capital. There was a lot of discussion and praise for the Liangzhou Army.
The first good news was that Prince Yang Zhao, on behalf of the emperor, came to the front line on behalf of the saint to express condolences to the Liangzhou army on the eastern battlefield; the commander-in-chief Zhang Xutuo, the deputy marching commander Murong Sanzang, and the marching commander Shi Lijing understood the saint's fighting spirit and paid tribute to the emperor. He expressed his gratitude for his ardent concern and said that the entire army would live up to the saint's trust. Then they implemented the saint's spirit throughout the entire army, causing the soldiers of the three armies to beat the gongs and drums loudly, and their morale was like a rainbow, and their morale was greatly boosted. Under the wise guidance of the prince, the soldiers of the three armies showed off their power in front of the enemy camp with a scornful attitude, which frightened the Tuyuhun commander Tuoba Mimi to the point where he closed the camp gate tightly and did not dare to fight.
Listen, is this some bullshit battle report? It's more like flattering.
For the second time, Yang Yichen, the general manager of the Chuhe Road March, wiped out 3,000 enemies outside Shudun City in Tuyuhun; for the third time, Liang Yuanli, the general manager of the Xiping Road March, killed 2,000 enemies in the upper reaches of the Changning River; for the fourth time, Zhou Faming, the general manager of the Lintao Road March, commanded his troops. Marching westward, at the confrontation point in Xiqing Mountain, they laid down rolling logs and stones from a high position, smashing the enemy's camp into pieces and killing countless enemies.
What will it be this fifth time? Could it be that Yang Ji killed all the rats in Tuyuhun?
In the general train, General Zuo Yiwei Yuan Shou frowned and thought to himself: This damn Yang Ji wants to please the saint. Whenever there is a little bit of progress, he will come to report. This time, he will probably arrive. He wanted to become a golden city, so he used this small trick to calm the saint's heart.
How are these little tricks different from those of a female minister acting like a sycophant?
No, damn Yang Ji, he is a sycophant to begin with!
Thinking of this, Yuan Shou couldn't help but look at the Zuowei General Zhang Jin sitting next to him, but found that the other party also showed a look of disdain, and even had a sneer at the corner of his mouth. He knew Zhang Jin's thoughts and also No different than myself.
Other civil and military officials who didn't know the inside story also had strange expressions, and some people who were friendly to Yang Ji couldn't help but laugh, thinking it was just another trivial matter.
"The letter written by King Wei was delivered yesterday afternoon." Yang Guang also felt a little funny thinking about the previous battle reports. After saying this, he stopped showing off and continued: "King Wei It is said that Tuyuhun is the horn of each other. Dangjin City, Lenghu Camp, and Sugannuoer Lake Camp have been captured by our army. As for the 180,000 troops deployed by Murong Fuyun in the west, except for more than 20,000 who fled, the rest were either killed. Or become prisoners of our army. The deputy commander of the Tuyuhun West Route Army, Xihai Wang Murongxun, the famous king Murong Yan, the minor famous kings Tuoba Yuan and Tuoba Kuan were all executed. King Wei, relying on the determination of victory, led the main army to march eastward. If nothing unexpected happens, the vast land to the west of Mount Xities is now owned by the Sui Dynasty."
As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar in the palace and there was a lot of discussion.
Some people are surprised, some are full of doubts, and even more are unbelievable... However, Yin Shishi, Dugu Sheng, Yao Junsu, Wang Bian, Gao Junya, Wang Xingben and Xiao Yu are sitting in their seats with leisurely expressions. , they were neither excited nor confused, nor did they doubt whether the news was true or not.
Speaking of which, they had already been numbed by Yang Ji's various miracles. Even if the emperor now said that Yang Ji had Murong Fuyun killed, they would not feel any surprise. On the contrary, it would be surprising if Yang Ji had no movement or failed.
Yuwen Jingli, Li Changya and others who were friends with Yang Ji showed joy on their faces; while Yang Gongren, the minister of Zongzheng Temple, was so excited that he could hardly control himself. Although Yang Xuangan and Yang Wensi were worried about the fate of their family, their faces also showed shock, and they were clearly attracted by this earth-shattering news.
As for Yuan Shou, Zhang Jin, Yu Zhongwen, Li Zhongwen, Xin Shixiong, Hou Mo, Chen Yi, Dou Wei and other important officials of the Guanlong noble family who were still sneering at them, their smiles froze on their faces, and their eyes were full of surprise and uncertainty.
In just a few days, the main force in the west of Tuyuhun was gone, and all the western land was owned by the Sui Dynasty. How is this possible?
If this matter is true, grandma Yang Ji's fighting ability and the speed of his march are too fast and incredible, right?
Yuan Shou sighed in his heart and looked at Zhang Jin beside him. Just in time, Zhang Jin also looked at him.
The two of them looked at each other in silence, with a bitter look in their eyes. They Guanlong nobles were actually the main group that gave Yang Ji resistance and pressure.
They knew that Tuyuhun's national power and strength had been reduced by more than half through Yang Ji's operation. At the "Year-End Conference" of the Wuchuan Alliance held two years ago, all representatives of the large and small families believed that the Sui Dynasty's conquest of Tuyuhun was an easy task, and unanimously agreed with Yuan Shou's proposal to seize the credit for the destruction of the country. In order to achieve this goal, at the subsequent court meetings, they continued to put pressure on Yang Guang in various names, hoping that Yang Guang would replace Yang Ji as an official elsewhere so that they could enjoy the benefits.
Although Yang Guang was very dissatisfied with the banditry of the Guanlong nobles, he could not keep his word in the face of the overwhelming situation, so he sent Yang Ji back to Liangzhou and asked him to destroy Tuyuhun as soon as possible to avoid the worries of these bandits. This incredible feat.
When Yang Ji "hastily" started the war in the cold weather, the Guanlong nobles looked coldly and sneered. They dreamed that Yang Ji would be defeated and returned. The farcical little battle report made them think that Yang Ji was fighting. The book was not open, so he used this little trick to paralyze the Sui emperors, ministers and people. If he really lost, he could use this little trick to win sympathy, so that his guilt would not be so great.
However, Yang Ji, the damned but immortal thing, actually sent such an earth-shattering letter.
When everyone was in an uproar, Xue Daoheng couldn't help but go out and ask: "Sage, is this news really a handwritten letter from King Wei?"
Xue Daoheng was originally the Minister of Internal Affairs. Because of his upright and upright temperament, he was not afraid of powerful people and dealt with justice impartially. Therefore, when Yang Guang founded Yushi Santai, Su Wei recommended him to be the official of Sili.
He and Yang Ji had no grudges, but thanks to the negative impact of small victories, the critic in charge of Sili Tai subconsciously doubted the authenticity of the news.
After hearing this
, Yuan Shou and Zhang Jin's eyes lit up: Xue Daoheng asked this, which means that he is not the only one who doubts the authenticity of the news; and Yang Ji has always been bold and can do anything; in order to please the saint, he , is he committing fraud and lying about military information?
Yuan Shou thought for a while, then stood up and walked to the middle, bowed his hands to Yang Guang, and said, "Sage, I can't believe this news."
Yang Guang's eyes turned cold and he asked calmly: "Why do you see it?"
"Saint, in the western battlefield, there is a huge gap in strength between the enemy and ours. Murong Yong, the commander-in-chief of the Tuyuhun West Route Army, is not only a good general who can conquer and fight, but he also has a fortified city to defend us in the Sui Dynasty. In addition to fighting in winter, the defenders have an absolute advantage. Therefore, the time, place, and people are all in Tuyuhun. This also reflects that the Western Army led by King Wei has no advantage at all." Yuan Shou bowed respectfully, and then said: "King Wei is like a god with his troops. With his extraordinary talent and rich combat experience, it is not difficult to defeat Murong Yong."
"However, King Wei sent troops less than a month ago. If he used tens of thousands of troops to defeat Murong Yong who had the right time, place and people at his disposal in such a short period of time, and conquered the western part of Tuyuhun, it would be too much. It’s a bit strange.”
Pei Ju came out after hearing this. He first saluted Yang Guang, and then said to Yuan Shou: "General Yuan has been in the army for a long time, and he is also a famous general in our dynasty who can recruit and fight. Is it possible that even lying about the military situation and false reports of victory is a major crime for the Yi people?" Don’t you know? General Zhang also said just now, "King Wei is a genius who can wield troops like a god." Do you think he would do such a stupid thing? "
Pei Ju only used two questions to make Yuan Shou feel ashamed and speechless. He immediately refuted it and even returned to the train.
After hearing Pei Ju's words, all the ministers in the court suddenly came to their senses and no longer doubted whether the news was true or not. But in an instant, everyone fell into a state of shock again.
As Yuan Shou said, it took Yang Ji less than a month to capture half of Tuyuhun. Isn't this too incredible?
"General Yuan Da, just because you can't do it yourself, doesn't mean that others can't do it either." Yang Xiong stepped out, looked at Yuan Shou, and said calmly, "I hate people like you the most."
"You..." Yuan Shou was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
"Okay, okay!" Yang Guang chuckled, gave Yang Xiong a look of approval, stood up and said, "It's getting late, let's go!"
"Farewell to the saint!"
