How to defeat Tuguhun will have to be listened to by Pei Ju. The general on the Sui side was Shi Wansui, who had the experience of leaving Dunhuang in the west.
After discussion at the court meeting, everyone agreed that Guanzhong could send up to 50,000 troops, and the rest would be recruited from Henan, Shanxi, and Hebei.
Hedong is an important military area, and 6,000 people were mobilized, which happened to take away Xiao Mohe's tough bandits. Hanoi County sent 3,000 people, and Hanoi Prefect Zhang Dinghe also wanted to come, because Zhang Dinghe was Shi Wansui's favorite general.
Now he also serves as General of the Youtun Guard.
Jiang County has two thousand, Changping County has one thousand and five, and Shangdang County has one thousand and five.
In other words, the entire Shanxi Province sent 14,000 troops.
Henan will contribute 25,000, and the remaining 11,000 will be made up by Hebei.
Yang Ming is not yet qualified to issue conscription orders and has to wait for the emperor's imperial decree. However, he needs to inform the prefects of various places in advance and let them prepare in advance.
Yang Ming then sent someone to rush to Jiangdu with the contents of today's meeting.
As long as the coach is Yang Ming, Yang Guang will never interfere with Yang Ming's selection of generals. Everyone knows that the most important thing in a war is to be obedient, and only your own people can be obedient.
In fact, there is no shortage of people like this in terms of military talent and strategic deployment. Pei Ju's deployment and Shi Wansui are geniuses in marching and fighting. With these two people, everything else is easy to say.
Moreover, eleven of the Sixteen Generals are in Jiangdu. In fact, if you include Yan Wang Yang Tan and Dai Wang Yang You, thirteen are in Jiangdu. However, Yang Ming habitually ignores these two people, that is to say
, there were only three generals in the capital, Yang Mingdai He Ruobi, Shi Wansui and Li Hun.
With one hundred thousand troops, Yang Ming took the initiative to invite the marching marshal. Marshal Chang Shi recommended Pei Ju. The remaining eight generals were Shi Wansui, Chang Suncheng, Xiao Mohe, Zhang Dinghe, Yang Xuanting, Qu Tutong, Zhou Fashang, plus already
Went to Mai Tiezhang in Lintao County.
There is no Li Jing among them. Li Jing needs to stay and help guard the Qin Prince's Mansion. Yang Ming can only trust Li Jing for this kind of thing.
Don't worry, he left with his troops. Something happened in the capital, which jeopardized his marriage.
Although the possibility is slim, we still need to take precautions just in case.
Qu Tutong was an old face that he had never interacted with before, but was very familiar with him, because this boy had been working as a personal guard for Yang Jian back then, and Yang Ming had seen him a lot when he was a child.
Qu Tutong is now General Zuowuwei.
After the court meeting, Yang Ming invited the other party to board his carriage and chatted for a few words in the carriage, probably doing some ideological work to prepare the other party mentally and settle down at home.
After all, people who are already in high positions are not very happy with things like going out to fight.
Life is full of joy, who wants to go out and suffer that kind of pain?
And Yang Ming had to comfort every general.
Afterwards, Yang Ming ordered Chen Kui to change his route and planned to meet Gao Jiong to see what he thought about the matter.
Su Lie's appearance was originally intended to replace Chen Kui, because Chen Kui was an old man in the Jin Palace. However, Yang Ming found that this man was still loyal and would never talk nonsense to outsiders, so so far, Yang Ming was still at ease with him.
of.
On the way, Yang Ming happened to meet Xue Mansion's motorcade. The leader of the motorcade saw that it was King Qin who was driving the car, so he quickly gave way to the side and raised his hand to stop the people at the front of the motorcade.
"General Rong, I am from Xue Sili's house. I have something to ask you to see His Highness."
The one who led the way for the motorcade was Pang Niu. He was now joining the army in the palace, and his rank was the same as that of the hussar general in the army, so it was appropriate to call him a general.
In the carriage, Yang Ming, who received Pang Niu's report, nodded: "Let him come over."
The man was led by Bu Qu to the outside of the carriage, and then whispered: "Your Highness, I was ordered by Xue Sili to send my girl to Jinyang Tower. I never expected to meet Your Highness here.
look"
Yang Ming had met this person before. At the dinner party, this person was standing behind Xue Daoheng. He seemed to be a relative of Xue Daoheng's clan and was now in charge of some trivial matters in the Xue family.
Xue Daoheng also said that night that he would ask this person to send his daughter to Yang Ming.
Before the other party finished speaking, Yang Ming interrupted: "Let her get in the car."
"Yes," the man hurriedly returned to the motorcade and asked the maid to help the girl out of the car. After handing over to Yang Ming, he took the people from the Xue Mansion away.
Inside the carriage, there was a girl wearing a long blue skirt and a thick coat. Her hands were red from the cold, but she did not dare to approach the stove in the carriage.
Seeing this, Yang Ming pushed the stove over: "It's cold today, please warm yourself up."
The little girl hummed and then leaned against the stove and rubbed her hands.
He has average looks, but has a rare bookish aroma.
Her figure is also average, with nothing outstanding. There is almost nothing that makes Yang Ming interested in her. If I have to say one thing, it is freshness.
"Do you know who I am?" Yang Ming asked.
Xue Chi shook his head: "Uncle just said that you are my grandpa's good friend."
"Didn't your grandpa say anything to you?" Yang Ming said blankly.
Xue Chi said: "My uncle only said that my uncle will take me to meet someone."
Is Xue Daoheng so trouble-free? Do I have to explain my feelings? Yang Ming was speechless:
"That man just now, was your uncle?"
"Yes," Xue Chitu nodded, then looked at Yang Ming's body, and then said: "Are you from the clan? Although I don't know how to read the grade of court uniforms, but you have a dragon embroidered on your body."
Xue Daoheng's former status meant that not all members of the clan would be taken seriously. Only a few members of the old Yang family were able to attract attention. After all, they were close ministers of Emperor Gaozu, and many members of the clan had to fawn over him.
Therefore, Xue Chi was not that surprised because of Yang Ming's clan status, because some of Yang Yong's concubine sons had been students of Xue Daoheng.
Yang Ming smiled and said: "There are quite a few people embroidering dragons."
"If you ask me to count, I can guess who you are," Xue Chi said with a smile, "Do you believe it?"
Yang Ming stretched his arms outward and said with a smile: "Count."
Xue Chi's eyes widened and he began to stare at Yang Ming's robe, muttering in his mouth: "Chapter one, chapter two, chapter three, chapter four"
After a moment, Xue Chi was stunned: "You have nine chapters in your body. You are the prince. Now the capital master should be the King of Qin."
"Maybe it's the King of Xi?" Yang Ming said with a smile: "He is also Jiuzhang."
Xue Chi immediately covered his mouth and smiled sweetly: "You said it was 'him', so of course he is not King Xi, although you should be about the same age."
Yang Ming smiled: "Stop pretending. When I first saw you, I felt familiar. We must have met before."
As soon as these words came out, Xue Chi burst into laughter, and after a long while, he said with laughter:
"You are really a noble man who forgets things. When I was a child, I often followed my grandfather to the Yong'an Palace of the Holy Queen. We both played together for at least three months. Your Highness's memory is really bad."
Whenever Dugu Jialuo had any intellectual doubts, he would go to Xue Daoheng to solve his doubts. Over time, he gained many privileges, such as bringing his daughter into the palace.
Yang Ming finally remembered
He is nineteen years old this year, and the other party is seventeen, so he must be the same person whom he had a brief relationship with when he was a child at his grandmother's house.
This is also the weirdest nickname Yang Ming has ever seen.
Looking at it now, the appearance and demeanor of the other party were clearly that of his childhood playmate Xiao Yuhua. At that time, he thought the other party was from the palace, but he didn't know that she was actually Xue Daoheng's daughter.
"You were so good-looking when you were young, but now you are completely invisible to everyone," Yang Ming joked since they were old acquaintances.
Xue Chi pouted and pretended to be dissatisfied: "This is the first time we've met since we grew up. Are you going to ridicule me like this? Don't bully me because of your status."
Yang Ming immediately laughed: "Okay, okay, we're at the place, come with me to meet someone."
Xue Chi opened the curtain of the carriage and said blankly: "So you are here to see Mr. Gao? I often follow my grandfather here. I even know where the back door of the house is."
"Stop being so nagging, let's go," Yang Ming interrupted her directly and got out of the car first.
Xue Chi snorted and followed Yang Ming in a hurry.
In the study, Gao Qiao looked at Yang Ming, then at Xue Chi, and couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"You don't need to say it. I can probably guess it. I just think that the relationship between the two of you seems a bit special?"
Who is Gao Jun? Just seeing that the girl accompanying Yang Ming is Xue Daoheng's daughter, I can guess what Yang Ming is planning.
Ever since he heard that Xue Daoheng had returned to the capital, he had been secretly worried for Xue Daoheng. Earlier, the emperor had often ridiculed Xue Daoheng in front of the ministers for relying on his old talents and not having the heart of a monarch.
As a human being, he knew that the emperor was unhappy with Xue Daoheng.
Facts have proved that those who were targeted by the emperor would end badly, such as He Ruobi.
What Yang Ming did was obviously to get close to Xue Daoheng and protect him. This boy is really the image of a wise king.
Xue Chi looked at the scene in the study room and said with a smile: "It seems that there are a lot more books than when I came last time. So can I return the books that Mr. Gao lent me?"
Gao Jiao immediately raised his forehead and said with a wry smile: "Ask Xuanqing Xue Daoheng to come and ask for it from me."
"Hmph, I didn't expect Duke Gao to be a swindler," Xue Chi said, looking right at Yang Ming, and then said, "Same as King Qin."
Xue Daoheng and Gao Jiong had a very good personal relationship. As the marching marshal Chang Shi, Gao Jiong followed Yang Guang south to destroy Chen, and he also asked Xue Daoheng for advice on how to defeat Chen.
"What is the relationship between you two?" Gao Jiong was really curious.
Yang Ming smiled and said: "When I was a child, I was my playmate in Yong'an Palace."
"So that's it." Gao Qiao suddenly realized and said slyly: "Then you two should have a good time catching up on old times. Would you like me to make room for you two in the house?"
Xue Chi was puzzled at first, but after thinking about it, he was immediately embarrassed: "Mr. Gao is really old and dishonest."
Gao Qiao suddenly laughed,
"You two, let's talk," Xue Chi suddenly stood up and ran away in panic.
Gao Yan looked at Yang Ming with a smile and said, "I'm not joking. Do I need to make room for you?"
"When I knew she was my childhood playmate, there was no need for her," Yang Ming said with a helpless smile.
