After all, Feng Yuzhi was from a wealthy family and knew etiquette. She prepared gifts for every woman in Yang Mingdong Palace and went to pay homage to the Crown Princess Yang Yinjiang and the concubine Pei Shuying.
She was used to Yang Ming being the same age as her. After all, they had a romantic relationship during the spring outing. She felt that Yang Ming had a very good personality and suited her well.
But when facing Yang Yinjiang and Pei Shuying, she had to be careful. Yang Yinjiang was serious and Pei Shuying didn't like to deal with outsiders, which gave people a strong sense of distance.
During the spring outing that year, Feng Yuzhi had a quarrel with Yan Xiaotang, took care of Wei Xianhui who jumped into the river, and had seen Gao Yue's allure. She was relatively familiar with these three people.
Gao Yue did not see him, but he saw Yan Xiaotang and Wei Xianhui. While chatting with them, Feng Yuzhi felt a little uncomfortable.
Because neither of them are pregnant.
"You have been with him for a long time, why don't you have a twin?" Feng Yuzhi frowned.
Yan Xiaotang smiled helplessly: "I don't know, maybe it's because there are less opportunities to share the same bed."
"This is the disadvantage of being a petty person," Feng Yuzhi curled his lips and said bluntly: "Look at his wife, she has given birth to three sons."
"Shh~~ Keep your voice down, don't talk nonsense," Wei Xianhui quickly made a silencing gesture.
Yang Yinjiang is in charge of all the women in the East Palace alone, and the Crown Princess only respects two people, Pei Shuying and Chen Shuyi. No matter what your background is, you cannot get close to them.
In the past, when they were in Prince Qin's Mansion, the place was small, and the two of them could meet Yang Ming often. But now that the East Palace is so big, it is not easy for Yang Ming to come, and the number of times they have sex is even pitiful, so that until now, both of them have...
no kids.
"You are already pitiful enough. Sister Gao Yue is even more pitiful. She is alone in Prince Qin's Mansion, all alone and helpless." Feng Yuzhi couldn't help but sigh:
"This is what the people say, it is better to be a poor man's wife than a rich man's concubine."
Wei Xianhui explained: "Actually, it's not that His Highness is indifferent. It's because the state affairs are heavy. The prince and the prince are different. His Highness has been in the East Palace since he called and has no time to spare. Every time I see him, I feel very distressed."
"You feel sorry for me, but I don't feel sorry for you," Feng Yuzhi heard the noise coming from outside the door and deliberately amplified his voice.
"Don't judge people for their small talk. Look, did I hear you?" Yang Ming walked across the threshold with a smile and said to Feng Yuzhi: "Do you know whether I feel sorry for you or not?"
Feng Yuzhi said angrily: "If you really feel sorry for me, you should let them get pregnant with your child as soon as possible. But now it's better. I've been a woman for you for so long, and my belly is flat. Don't you know that women regard a big belly as a sign?"
Glory?"
Under Yan Xiaotang's service, Yang Ming changed into a thin shirt, took off his boots and sat at the table, saying:
"You also want to take care of my housework?"
"I'm just trying to fight against injustice," Feng Yuzhi glanced at Yan Xiaotang and Wei Xianhui again, and said, "I feel heartbroken when I see them looking like this."
Yang Ming smiled, put his hand on Yan Xiaotang's thigh beside him, and said:
"Okay, I have already said hello to King Guan at today's court meeting. The following daily meetings will be held in Shangshu Province and will be presided over by him. I will take you out to relax."
Yan Xiaotang and Wei Xianhui were very excited and hurriedly asked where they were going.
Where else can we go? Yang Ming doesn't dare to run far, nor can he walk for too long, so the only choice is Zhongnan Mountain. Let's go hunting.
The three girls were quite happy. Feng Yuzhi also liked safari and threatened that she must take Gao Yue with her, otherwise she would not go.
So that night, Yang Ming took them and Dugu Feng'er back to Prince Qin's Mansion, and went to Jinyang Tower to enjoy singing and dancing the next night.
After everything was ready, the group went hunting in Zhongnan Mountain.
.......
Li Jing's affairs in Luoyang have almost been settled. As a vanguard, he needs to get on the road as soon as possible. The Chi Road has been repaired, and millions of people have not left, but have begun to transport food and supplies.
The three warehouses in Luoyang were completely lucky. One took the water route, the other went north by land, entered Chidao and then headed to Zhuojun.
The elite troops in Guanzhong are all preparing. The emperor has issued an edict. In March next year, the twenty-fourth army will meet in Zhuojun, and the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty will personally conquer Goguryeo.
Yang Guang's edict against Goguryeo has not yet been announced to the public, but the marching sequence of the army has been announced.
There are some differences from the original plan.
Yang Guang was the marching marshal, with direct jurisdiction over six corps: the foreign army, the internal army, the left army, the right army, the rear army, and the front army.
Yu Wenshu was the commander-in-chief of the marching army and was responsible for controlling all the armies. Yu Zhongwen was the commander-in-chief of the 11th Route Pioneer Army.
The 24th Route Army consists of cavalry regiment, infantry regiment, baggage regiment, propaganda corps, cavalry corps, archer corps and rear troops.
Among them, the agitation team and the cymbal team belong to the military band. The cymbal is a military percussion instrument shaped like a bell.
On the East Turk side, Yang Guang has also sent out an invitation. He is not inviting you to participate in the battle, but inviting you to watch the battle so that you can see the power of our Sui army.
In fact, it was still a pretense, in order to frighten the Eastern Turks so that they would not have the courage to offend the Sui Dynasty.
The Hedong refinery works non-stop day and night. After batch after batch of ordnance is released, it will be escorted away immediately.
The Guanzhong army is changing its equipment, and the weapons they replaced will be handed over to those troops who are not elite. Anyway, good things must be kept close to the children of Guanzhong first. Who wants them to be the vanguard?
At the moment, Sui Dynasty is making final preparations intensively.
No surprise, after Yu Wenkai passed away, the task of repairing the bridge fell on He Chou.
After receiving the order, He Chou took his own group and Li Chun's group to Zhuojun in advance, and sent spies to cross the Liaoxi Corridor to measure the width of the Liaohe River.
Yang Ming greeted him and reminded him emphatically of the length of the pontoon, so He Chou did not dare to neglect.
As for Li Chun, whom Yang Ming recommended to him, he already knew his name and admired him very much. He could be regarded as a hero who cherishes his heroes.
"The Liaohe River is fast and wide, so it is quite difficult to build a pontoon bridge. If the bridge is light, it will be easily washed away by the water, and if the bridge is heavy, it will be difficult to bear the load." Li Chun was discussing with He Chou about the pontoon bridge in a mansion in Ji County, the capital of Zhuo County.
.
He Chou nodded and said: "The Liaohe River is not under my control. If you want to use boats to lay wooden planks to build a pontoon bridge, you need to build a boat in advance, which is very time-consuming."
Li Chuntao said: "This is simple. Don't build the boats, but borrow them. We will report to the court now and request that a hundred small boats be allocated to dismantle them in Zhuo County. They will be transported to the front line by oxcarts in the future. Then they will be reinstalled and blocked with ropes.
, which can greatly shorten the time.”
He Chou sighed: "I agree with your method, but there are two problems. The dismantled hull is not easy to transport. Furthermore, after being dismantled, it will be difficult to assemble in the future."
In fact, in ancient China, when the military made pontoons, they were all standard pontoons. In other words, it has a complete process and flow, and there are many parts to assemble, so the pontoon bridge is very stable.
However, the standard pontoon bridge appeared after the Song Dynasty. There was no such thing in the Sui Dynasty. They were always built temporarily according to local conditions.
Just like He Chong's concerns, it is easy to dismantle the ship, but it is not easy to restore it to its original state. Moreover, the ship is not small, and it is not easy to transport it by cattle, horses and mule carts. The main reason is that the road conditions in the Hexi Corridor are too poor and deep.
One foot is shallow and the other is a swamp.
Not to mention the Hexi Corridor, even Zhuojun has a lot of swamps, because Zhuojun is Tianjin and is a coastal line with the Liaoxi Corridor. In ancient times, it was called the Jiuhe River, and it was known as the Zeguo in the North.
From Zhuojun to Goguryeo, the Great Sui Dynasty took two roads, starting from Lulong County in Beiping County, passing through the Luanhe River to Xi State, which is the Chengde area in Hebei Province. After crossing Xi State, they followed the Daling River into Liucheng
County, this is called Lulong Road.
There is also the Liaoxi Corridor, which is called Banghai Road.
As for Yang Guangfen's twenty-four roads, don't listen to what he says. In fact, they only take two roads. It sounds like twenty-four roads, divided into twenty-four directions. It seems to be overwhelming and overwhelming Goguryeo. In fact, there are only two roads.
These two roads are easy to walk, but the twenty-four roads are more like numbers.
For the bridge repair troops, they must take the coastal road, because Lulong Road has both water and land routes, which is too confusing.
Since it would be bad luck to dismantle the ship, Li Chun had to think of a way. He came up with a set of crude standard pontoon structures.
Completely disassemble the ship, mark each part, cut it into small pieces that are easy to transport, and then assemble it when it arrives at the destination.
He Chou was very much in favor of this suggestion, and the two of them just did it. After all, crossing the river was a top priority, and they did not dare to neglect it.
At present, Wei Yunqi, the person in charge of Zhuojun's border pass, has sent out a wide range of cavalry to enter the Hexi Corridor and cross Liaodong to explore the enemy's situation.
The situation is not optimistic, Goguryeo is already prepared.
"Goguryeo has accumulated heavy troops on the front line of the Liao River. I'm afraid it won't be easy to cross the river. Your Majesty really shouldn't have issued the marching order so early. Doesn't this allow people to make preparations earlier?" Wei Baoluan, the newly appointed governor of Zhuojun, frowned.
road.
Wei Yunqi also sighed: "Forget it, it's not something you or I can persuade. The people in the court haven't persuaded me, so let's not talk about it anymore."
"Why didn't the prince persuade me?" Wei Baoluan said: "Soldiers, it's a cunning way. We have told others our time, route, and list of general managers. How are we going to fight? I think many people will die in Liaohe.
ah."
Wei Yunqi shook his head and said:
"That's not necessarily true. I heard that the vanguard who crossed the river was Li Jing. I had dealt with this man in the capital. He is an upright man and not good at lying. I thought that without the help of the prince, this man would have difficulty achieving anything. Until I met him
After discussing the art of war in private, I found out that this person was actually the first general of the Sui Dynasty after Yue Gong. The prince was still very powerful. It would be impossible to place Li Jing anywhere else, but only in the army. He was a dragon.
Entering the sea, the tiger returns to the mountains and forests.”
"Is he as powerful as you praise him?" Wei Baoluan said disdainfully.
Wei Yunqi smiled deeply and continued to look at the map on the table:
