Harry Lake! Yang Guang knew the result of the battle. He knew that Yang Yuanqing killed the khan, but he did not know the specific details. After Changsun Sheng came back, he reported to the late emperor Yang Jian. Yang Guang was not present. Yang Jian died of illness and the court
Things were piling up. Yang Guang had been busy and had no time to ask about the Battle of Lake Harry. Today Ranqian actually said that Yang Yuanqing was the most distinguished guest of the grassland. This made Yang Guang feel a little uncomfortable. He wanted to know
reason.
Although Changsun Sheng is not an upright and upright official, he is not a bad person and has a good relationship with Yang Yuanqing. Moreover, he knows that Princess Yicheng is also an insider. If what he says is inconsistent with what Princess Yicheng says, it will arouse the suspicion of the emperor.
, but it was not good for him. Changsun Sheng did not hide anything and reported to Yang Guang in detail what happened by Lake Harry. At the same time, he also analyzed the delicate situation between the East and West Turks at that time.
Finally, he said: "It was Yang Yuanqing's decision to attack the envoys of the Western Turkic Army Camp at night. Originally, I didn't agree with it, but in hindsight, his move was very courageous, no less than Ban Zhong's move to seize the tiger's cubs.
Deeply admired."
Yang Guang didn't speak for a long time. When Yang Su asked him not to remember his grandson's contribution to Lake Harry, he didn't take it too seriously and directly agreed to Yang Su's request. The Battle of Lake Harry had no impact on the Sui Dynasty.
He didn't even read the report written by Yang Yuanqing at that time.
Although the matter has passed, when Chang Sun Sheng talked about it again today, Yang Guang could still feel the thrill of being closely related to the situation at that time. Finally, Yang Guang glanced at Chang Sun Sheng and said: "Why wasn't this matter done in time?
Report to me."
Changsun Sheng smiled bitterly in his heart. How could this be his responsibility? He had already written a detailed memorial on the mission. How did he know that Yang Guang didn't know about it? But Changsun Sheng didn't dare to tell the difference, and bowed and said: "Wei Chen knows
crime!"
"Forget it, I don't blame you."
Yang Guang had already promised Yang Su, and there was no point in going over the old account now. He glanced at Changsun Sheng again, and saw that his beard and hair were gray and he looked old, so he asked: "General Changsun, how old are you this year?
"
"I don't dare, Wei Chen is 40% of his fifties this year."
Yang Guang nodded. He was indeed old. He needed to find an important minister who could take over the long-feathered hyena to appease the Turks. The heroic figure of Yang Yuanqing appeared in his mind again.
"Go back to the main hall, let's go take a look at the Three Kingdoms Archery Competition and see what kind of surprise Yang Yuanqing can bring to me?"
In the main hall, Yang Xuangan stopped his son and repeatedly told him, "Remember as a father, don't be too arrogant. You must be courteous to distinguished guests. Even if you win, you must keep a low profile. Let the Turks feel that we are a country of etiquette."
Yang Yuanqing did not refute his father, but he felt that although his father was the minister of Honglu Temple, he did not understand the Turks. He knew how to compare arrows.
"General Yang, please come here."
Yang Lihua waved to him from a distance. She was standing with Princess Yicheng. Yang Yuanqing quickly said to his father: "The princess is calling me. I'll come over."
"go!"
Yang Xuangan was a little confused, not only because of Yang Yuanqing, but also because of the extraneous arrow competition. This kind of arrow competition was nominally to add fun, but in fact it was an informal competition between one and three countries. This and the subtle
It is difficult to handle the relationship well, and more importantly, can his son bear this important responsibility?
At this time, Yang Xuangan suddenly saw his wife Zheng waving to him. He was startled and walked up in fear.
"What happened?"
Mrs. Zheng took her husband and walked to a place where there were few people. She lowered her voice and said bitterly: "That son of yours has caused a big trouble for you."
Yang Yuanqing quickly walked up to the two princesses and saluted them, "For your humble position, please see Her Royal Highness Princess Leping, and please see Her Royal Highness Princess Yicheng!"
Then his dissatisfied gaze fell on Yuchi, as if he was blaming her for not reporting to him and leaving Dali City without permission. Yuchiwan felt guilty and lowered his head.
Princess Yicheng saw this and smiled: "Why, this subordinate won't give it to me?"
"I don't dare to do this for a humble job. This matter is hers. She can choose. I won't stop her. However, she will need to return to Dali City in the future. I will cancel her military registration for her."
"Yuan Qing, let's not talk about this for now. Princess Yicheng has something to say to you." Yang Lihua changed their topic at the side.
Yang Yuanqing glanced at Yuchi Wan again, then bowed and said: "Please give me your advice, Princess."
Princess Yicheng sighed slightly and said slowly: "Yuan Qing, this warrior who is competing with you is actually not a Turk, but a Xigasi. He is the archer donated by the Xigas chief to Qimin Khan.
, Although he is young, he has been hunting bears with his elders in the ice fields of the Far North since he was five years old. It is often dark for half the year in the Far North, and he has developed their talent for night archery. This Aratu archery technique is extremely brilliant.
At the grassland archery competition more than a month ago, he shot every shot and won the first place with an absolute advantage, beating the second-placed Wutu by twenty arrows. You should know that Wutu almost committed suicide in shame."
"Thank you princess, I understand my humble position and will never underestimate the enemy!"
This is what Princess Yicheng wants Ding to ask..." She was worried that Yang Yuanqing was underestimating the enemy, so she smiled and said: "That's all I said, if I say more, Qimin Khan will blame me for being biased towards my mother's family."
Yang Yuanqing nodded, saluted the two princesses, turned around and walked out of the hall. "Yuanqing!"
Yang Lihua stopped him again, and Yang Yuanqing stopped and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, do you have any other instructions?"
Yang Lihua smiled slightly and said, "Calm down and don't be impatient!"
Yang Yuanqing nodded silently and left quickly. Princess Yicheng looked at his back and sighed slightly. "Sister, do you think he will win?"
"He will definitely win, I have confidence in him." Even though he said this, Yang Lihua's eyes also flashed a trace of unconcealable worry.
In the corner of the throne room, King Yang Jian of Qi kept a gloomy expression and kept a low profile. In fact, he was nervous. The whereabouts of the eunuch he sent to assassinate Yang Yuanqing was still unknown, weighing on his heart like a stone. He
He was afraid that Yang Yuanqing would report to his father. Even if his father did not punish him, his impression of him would plummet.
Just when Yang Liang was hiding in a corner drinking, his subordinates, Master Liang, quickly approached and whispered in his ear: "The entire palace has been searched, and the whereabouts of Eunuch Li have not been found."
Yang Jian's face twitched for a while, and he asked again: "Are you at King Jin's place?"
Master Liang was silent for a moment and said: "The people we placed next to King Jin are also missing... We can't get any news from King Jin."
"Bang!" Yang Zhen slammed his fist on the table and said through gritted teeth, "How could it be like this?"
"Your Highness, but we still have a little clue."
Yang Xun was refreshed and asked urgently: "What clue?"
"I heard that a little eunuch knows a few clues... We are tracking this person." "Go quickly, we must catch this little eunuch!"
At this moment, this little eunuch seemed to be Yang Guan's life-saving straw. Now he was worried not about Yang Yuanqing, but about his elder brother Yang Zhao. The people he ambushed around Yang Zhao were missing. It was obvious that Yang Zhao had begun to intervene in this matter.
Something happened... Eunuch Li, who was most likely missing, had arrived in Yang Zhaoyu, making Yang Jian extremely anxious.
Yang Yuanqing walked outside the hall... Outside the hall was a square covering an area of nearly eight acres. In the darkness, more than a hundred warriors were busy setting up the archery competition venue. The main night archery competition was to test the incense-headed fire. Sixty steps away, a
The arrow extinguishes the incense fire. Since there is no reference, it is more difficult than walking through the poplar tree at a hundred steps during the day... In addition, the cavalry is shooting arrows at high speed, which requires the archer not only to have superb archery skills, but also to be keen.
Eyes, and superb horse control skills.
It still took some time to set up the arena. Yang Yuanqing walked up to Yuwen Chengdu. Yuwen Chengdu was tall and tall, with an unsmiling face. He always appeared in front of the world like a giant pine. He has now been promoted to the right guard general, and he is deeply respected.
Yang Guang trusts.
Only when he saw Yang Yuanqing, an old comrade-in-arms, would a knowing smile appear on his face, "I have sent someone to the Yang Mansion to fetch you, and your horses will be sent to you soon."
"Thank you!"
Both of them are masters, and they know very well that a slight difference can lead to a huge loss. Only by using the lead horse that they are most familiar with can they perform at the highest level. If Yang Yuanqing wants to win in the arrow competition, he can only use his own bow and arrows.
.
"There is also that Goguryeo man. You have to be careful about him. He is also a real master."
Yang Yuanqing followed Yuwen Chengdu's gaze and looked dozens of steps away. The Goguryeo warrior standing on the steps was wearing a black warrior robe, motionless, his eyes were cold, there was no expression on his face, and he didn't pay attention to anyone around him. It gave people the impression that,
He is just a piece of ice, a cold stone statue.
"What's his name?"
"He is the son of Yuan Taizuo. His name is Yuan Gaesumun. Everyone calls him Gaisumun. The Yuan family he belongs to is the second largest family in Goguryeo, second only to the royal family Gao. This person is only fourteen
He is able to shoot a two-stone and five-stone hard bow. His father boasted that he could conquer lions and kill tigers. I think it is not an exaggeration. You should not underestimate your enemy."
Yang Yuanqing nodded silently. Goguryeo took the initiative to ask to participate. If they didn't have extraordinary ability, they wouldn't be so rash.
At this time, a guard came with Yang Yuanqing's horse. Not only did he fetch his horse, but he also fetched his long spear. Yang Yuanqing took the long spear from the saddle and gave it to Yuwen Chengdu.
"Keep it for me for now, maybe I will fight with him again!"
Yuwen Chengdu took over Changshang and smiled slightly, "I really hope you can fight with him." "Dang!"
A bell sounded in the distance, which was a reminder to prepare. Yang Yuanqing got on his horse, took the lead in his hand, and galloped away.
Banquets and competitions have always been an anticipated event. At this moment, guests from the other two side halls also came after hearing the news. Thousands of guests gathered on both sides of the square, whispering and talking about the three archers. Everyone looked forward to it with great expectations.
Waiting for the start of this archery event.
The VIP seats have also been arranged. Dozens of couches have been set up on the steps in front of the main hall. Yang Guang and his wife Xiao Hou are sitting in the middle. Behind him are Qimin Khan and Princess Kedun Yicheng on the left, and on the right.
Yuan Taizuo was still accompanied by Yang Xuangan, the minister of Honglu Temple, and other noble royals sat on both sides.
Rangan was as careful as his hair. When he saw that the women's clothes were thin and could hardly withstand the cold late autumn night, he smiled at Yang Guang and said, "Your Majesty, the time is almost up. Let's bury them as soon as possible!"
Yang Guang stroked his beard and nodded, "Okay! You can start."
