........
He Ruobi's voice was so loud that it made the palace buzz. Yuan Qing glanced at him and was quite interested. He was a man who had entered the stage of breaking his merits.
However, Yang Jian glanced at He Ruobi with dissatisfaction. He had been silent when he asked for advice just now, but now he was showing off his power to a young man.
"He Aiqing, this young man is right. It is the duty of every man to protect his family and his country. He is a young man who knows how to offer me a strategy to pacify the Turks. He Aiqing, he is better than you!"
He Ruobi's face was flushed with swelling. He heard that the Holy One was dissatisfied with him, and he quickly said: "Your Majesty, I humbly accept the prince's plan."
"You can talk about it later!"
Yang Jian replied coldly, then smiled at Yuan Qing and said, "I would like to hear your strategy for pacifying the Turks."
Yuan Qing knew that if he wanted the emperor to listen to him, he had to first have information and say something that no one else would have thought of. Last night he went to Feng Deyi and knew that the imperial court was only planning to attack the Eastern Turks this time, so he wanted to break through from here.
"Your Majesty, the common people believe that this time the Sui army's northern expedition to the Eastern Turks, the Western Turks will definitely send troops!"
His words shocked the hall and made everyone stunned. Even the usually calm Crown Prince Yang Yong couldn't help but ask him, "What's the basis for you saying that the Western Turks will send troops?"
Yuan Qing smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness, please listen to what I have to say in detail?"
Yang Yong was startled, "Have you seen me?"
Yuan Qing shook his head, "The common people have never seen His Highness the Crown Prince, but His Highness sits first on the left. I, the Sui Dynasty, respect the left. Just imagine, in the court, there is one person below and ten thousand people above, except
Who else can there be in the East Palace?"
Yang Jian gently stroked his beard and smiled. This young man was very smart. He deliberately said that he was in the court, so as to exclude the queen. "You are right, Yuan Qing. I also want to hear your reasons why the Western Turks
send troops?"
Now, everyone understood that the Holy One knew this young man.
Yuan Qing bowed and saluted, "Please forgive me for your courage in offering suggestions!"
Yuan Qing strode to the map in the court, picked up the wooden pole and pointed it at Dulan Khan's tent camp, and said loudly: "The reason why Dulan Khan wanted to attack our Sui Dynasty was because Tuli Khan two years ago
As a Great Khan, he was deeply ashamed of marrying Princess Anyi, so he held a grudge. In the past two years, he had repeatedly invaded the south, but failed miserably. The reason was that Tuli Khan secretly helped the Sui Dynasty. If only once, he might have failed.
The Khan doesn’t know, but he has failed many times in the past two years, how could Dulan Khan not know that Tuli was secretly at work?”
He then moved the wooden pole to the residence of Tuli Khan and continued: "Tuli Khan moved south to the old town of Dujin Mountain and became a barrier for the Sui Dynasty. It has obviously become a thorn in the side of the Turks. The common people heard that this time it was Dulan.
He built a large number of siege weapons and prepared for a large-scale invasion to the south. Imagine that Tuli, an internal trouble, would not dare to invade south. Therefore, the common people boldly concluded that if Dulan wanted to invade south, he must first destroy Tuli and eliminate the subsequent troubles. But only
With the power of Dulan's troops, it will not be easy to completely wipe out the Tuli, so let's take a look at the position of the Tuli tribe."
Yuan Qing pointed the wooden pole to Yudujin Mountain, which is today's Hangai Mountain in Mongolia, and said to everyone: "The Tuli tribe is located to the north of Wuyuan City and south of Yudujin Mountain, which happens to be the junction of East and West Turks.
Tuli is not only a close friend of Dulan, but also a close friend of Datou of the Western Turks. Therefore, Xiaomin dares to assert that Dulan Khan will definitely join forces with Datou Khan to send troops to eradicate Tuli, a serious concern that both sides share.
, in this case, when our Sui army marches north, we will encounter not only Dulan, but also the Western Turks."
Yuan Qing's analysis was well-founded, clear and convincing. Yang Jian couldn't help but sigh softly to Yang Su, "The Yang family is lucky to have such a grandson!"
Only then did everyone realize that this young man with extraordinary knowledge was actually Yang Su's grandson. He Ruobi was dumbfounded. He knew that he had just offended Yang Su.
Yang Su stood up quickly and explained in panic: "Reporting to your majesty, although Yuan Qing is the grandson of the old minister, this is the first time that the old minister has heard him talk about Turks. The old minister will never dare to let him trespass into the Liangyi Palace at this time."
"I know this. I don't blame you. I gave him the jade pendant and allowed him to enter the palace at any time. After all, he is only ten years old and does not understand the rules of the palace."
Yang Jian's words made the ministers in the palace feel horrified. Everyone looked at each other in disbelief. This boy was actually only ten years old?
Even Yu Wenshu couldn't help but feel jealous. He stood up and said: "Your Majesty, although the boy's words are reasonable, they are just speculations without real evidence. We must not decide the military and national policy based on the words of children, otherwise it will
It makes the whole world laugh."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a guard outside shouting: "Your Majesty, Turks 800 miles away, hurry up!"
A guard ran up to the palace with an urgent military report, knelt down and raised the general report high, "Your Majesty, General Changsun is urgent for eight hundred miles!"
The chamberlain general Sun Sheng's military report was forwarded to Yang Jian. There was silence in the hall. Yang Jian read the military report and sighed, "Dulan and Datou jointly attacked Tuli. Tuli's entire army has been wiped out, and only five cavalry are left."
Escape."
There was silence in the hall, and everyone looked at Yuan Qing, their eyes full of shock. Everyone had the same idea, whether the young man knew it beforehand, but it was impossible, which only meant that his speculation was completely correct.
Even Yuan Qing himself couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't know this period of history. He studied the map for a long time last night before coming to this conclusion. He didn't expect that he guessed it right.
He bowed to Yang Jian and saluted, "Your Majesty, unfortunately you have been criticized by the common people!"
Yang Jian nodded and said to the ministers: "Since the sudden advantage has failed, the strategy of one army can no longer be achieved. I have decided to send troops in three directions. The King of Han is only the nominal commander and will not participate in the specific command. Gao Xiangguo will obey the orders
!”
Gao Jiong stood up and saluted, "I'm here!"
"I order you, the commander-in-chief of the Middle Route Army, to lead an army of 50,000 people out of Mayi Road to attract Dulan's army."
He looked at Yu Wenshu again. Yu Wenshu was overjoyed. Just as he was about to stand up to listen to the order, Yang Jian's eyes moved away from him and turned to Yan Rong of Zhuguo next to him, "Yan Aiqing, listen to the order!"
Yan Rong quickly stood up and said, "Wei Chen is here!"
"I order you to be the commander-in-chief of the East Route Army. You will lead an army of 50,000 people on the Youzhou Road. Cooperate with the army of Prime Minister Gao to completely annihilate the Turkic capital Lanbu."
"I obey the order!"
At this time, Yang Jian glanced at Yang Su for the last time and said, "Yang Xiangguo listens!"
Yang Su stood up hurriedly, "Old minister is here!"
"Yang Xiangguo, you have the most important task. I have ordered you to be the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army. You will lead an army of 100,000 people on the Lingwu Road to fight against the Western Turks. If you can annihilate Datou, I will count on you to fight against the Turks this time.
First achievement."
"I will not disappoint Your Majesty!"
After Yang Jian completed the deployment one by one, he looked at Yuan Qing who was standing in the hall and was a little overwhelmed, and said with a smile: "It was you who made me make up my mind today, and the day before yesterday when you sacrificed your life to save me, the two achievements are combined into one
Gong, what reward do you want?"
Yang Su was so anxious that he quickly winked at Yuan Qing and told him not to ask for anything. However, Yuan Qing bowed deeply and begged: "Your Majesty, please allow me to join the army in the northern expedition. I am willing to serve as a small soldier in the Sui Dynasty!"
Yang Su was stunned. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Only then did he realize that this boy was planning on the Holy One because he did not allow him to join the army yesterday. He was so courageous!
Yang Jian glanced at Yang Su, meaning to ask him what he thought? Yang Su smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't allow him to join the army yesterday, so he broke into the forbidden area without permission. If I refuse him again today, I don't know what he will do to me."
I don’t have any objection to what kind of trouble you get into.”
"Okay!" Yang Jian generously agreed and said to Yuan Qing: "As you said, it is everyone's responsibility to protect the family and the country. I specially allow you to join the army, make you a ninth-grade benevolent and brave captain, and give you the Golden Lin Sword.
, followed the Western Route Army along the Lingwu Road to conquer the Turks in the north."
Yuan Qing was overjoyed that he finally got his wish. He knelt down and kowtowed heavily, "No, my dear fellow! I am willing to die for your majesty."
At this time, Yu Wenshu was so jealous that he claimed to be ranked third among the ten generals, but he was not included in the three armies. Even Yang Su's ten-year-old grandson could join the army in the northern expedition. Could it be that he was just
Spectators?
Even if he couldn't go on the expedition, he still wanted to fight for a chance for his son. Yu Wenshu took the opportunity and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please allow my son Huaji to join the army in the northern expedition and serve your Majesty!"
Yu Wenshu's son Yu Wenhuaji is now a palace guard. He has a bad reputation and is called a frivolous young man by people in the capital. Yang Jian has also heard about it. Since Yu Wenshu wants his son to be trained in the Northern Expedition, it is a good thing. It is best to polish off his reputation.
With a frivolous mind, Yang Jian agreed, "I will play it!"
