Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 767

Yang Zhengdao didn't have much confidence in Xiao Wuyong.

But to refuse, and a little hesitant.

Without him, this Xiao Wuyong is indeed a strong general, and he is a rare strong general. If he rejected him, Yang Zhengdao really didn't know who he could use.

What's more, the identity of this Xiao Wuyong is not simple.

He is the nephew of the Empress Dowager Xiao, and this Empress Dowager Xiao is the empress of Emperor Sui Yang. The empress dowager can be said to have contributed a lot.

Moreover, today's Empress Dowager Xiao has a very high status in the Later Sui Dynasty. Even Yang Zhengdao has to give him a little bit of light.

Xiao Wuyong belongs to the empress dowager Xiao, if he doesn't use it, it will be difficult for the empress dowager to explain.

While Yang Zhengdao was hesitating, many people in the court had already started to support Xiao Wuyong.

After all, Xiao Wuyong still had some power in the court, and Yang Zhengdao couldn't refuse the support of these people.

After thinking about it, it can only be so.

"Since Xiao Aiqing is willing to lead the army, then I will give you [-] soldiers and horses, and let you guard Huanglong City."

"Here!"

After Yang Zhengdao finished speaking, Han Guang, the prime minister of the court, suddenly stood up again.

"Your Majesty, it is one thing for General Xiao to guard Huanglong City, but we cannot fully rely on General Xiao to guard Huanglong City. I think that we should send people to contact Turks as soon as possible. With the help of Turks, I will be safer in the Sui Dynasty. .”

When Han Guang said this, Xiao Wuyong pouted immediately: "Master Han, what do you mean by saying that you look down on me, Xiao Wuyong?"

Han Guangdao: "No, I just think we should be prepared."

Xiao Wuyong chuckled: "That Turkic man can't even save Luo Yi, he can save us in the later Sui Dynasty, relying on no one is worse than relying on ourselves, with me, Xiao Wuyong, the Tang army can't break through Huanglong City."

"We all know the bravery of General Xiao, but we still need to be cautious. We are no better than Luo Yi in Youzhou in the Later Sui Dynasty. Our relationship with Turks is quite good. Turks will not help Luo Yi, but they will definitely Help us empress Sui."

Han Guang didn't want to offend Xiao Wuyong, but he would still say what should be said.

When Xiao Wuyong wanted to say something more, Yang Zhengdao interrupted him.

"Han Aiqing is right. I had no more than [-] to [-] soldiers in the Later Sui Dynasty. If we separated to defend the city, the troops would be even more scattered. If we had the help of the Turks, we would naturally be able to resist the Tang army. Send people to the Turks and ask the Turks to send troops."

After Yang Zhengdao said this, the matter was considered settled, and no matter how upset Xiao Wuyong was, there was nothing he could do.

After retiring from the court, Xiao Wuyong was a little bit angrily, but Han Guang was the prime minister after all, even if he had an unusual status, he didn't dare to do anything to the prime minister, so he could only swallow his anger.

Furthermore, he still had to gather troops to go to Huanglong City, and he didn't have time to trouble Han Guang, so he had to give up.

And right after he retired, Yang Zhengdao had just sat down in the imperial study when an eunuch hurried over: "Your Majesty, Concubine Chen is asking to see you."

Yang Zhengdao was a little surprised to hear Concubine Chen asking for an audience.

This Concubine Chen is Chen Yuer, the concubine of Emperor Sui Yang, but she is only in her thirties. Back then, she and Empress Dowager Xiao had already protected him from danger with people like Yuan Ziyi.

So besides being enthroned, Yang Zhengdao treats these women well.

And Concubine Chen was liked by Yang Zhengdao, because this Concubine Chen had a skill that Yang Zhengdao admired very much, that is, Concubine Chen would lead troops to fight, and even trained a 2000-strong women's army.

As the name suggests, this women's army is all women.

But don't look at them all being women, their combat abilities are not inferior to men's at all.

Throughout the Later Sui Dynasty, no one dared to provoke them, let alone despise the women's army.

Yang Zhengdao was a little surprised that Concubine Chen wanted to see him, but he quickly ordered the eunuch to call Chen Yu'er in.

Chen Yu'er is in her thirties and looks as beautiful as a flower, but she likes to dress up in men's clothing. When she came to see Yang Zhengdao today, she wore men's clothing, and she looked very heroic.

"Why did Concubine Chen come here suddenly?" After Chen Yu'er came in, Yang Zhengdao asked curiously.

Chen Yu'er said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Qin Tian of the Tang Dynasty led troops to attack me in the Later Sui Dynasty?"

Yang Zhengdao nodded: "That's right, after Qin Tian destroyed Luo Yi, he was a little arrogant, and even wanted to destroy my Hou Sui."

For this, Chen Yu'er didn't say anything, but continued to ask: "The Holy One is going to let Xiao Wuyong lead the army?"

Chen Yu'er asked directly, and her tone was cold. She has always been this kind of person, a little bit high, a little bit arrogant, difficult to get close to, and a bit dismissive of many people.

In her opinion, if a man is not as good as him, he naturally doesn't deserve his respect.

Yang Zhengdao smiled wryly: "General Xiao recommends himself, and he is indeed my later Sui general. It is a bit unreasonable not to let him go, and I agree."

Chen Yu'er chuckled: "Your Majesty really thinks highly of Xiao Wuyong, he's just a little bit braver, and he's not good at all in terms of fighting. Then Qin Tian can kill Luo Yi in such a short period of time. Do you think that Xiao Wuyong's ability is enough?" , could it be Qin Tian's opponent?"

Speaking of this, Chen Yuer paused for a moment before continuing: "The Holy Majesty is not clear about Xiao Wuyong's abilities."

Yang Zhengdao smiled wryly again, he was indeed very bitter, so what if he knew it well, with Empress Dowager Xiao present, there was nothing he could do.

Of course, Yang Zhengdao also knew that when Chen Yuer said this, firstly, he really looked down on Xiao Wuyong, and secondly, he didn't deal with Empress Dowager Xiao very much.

Although it was true that they, the women of Emperor Sui Yang, rescued him back then, when Emperor Sui Yang was still there, these concubines competed with Empress Xiao for favor, and later established the Later Sui Dynasty here. Women are not idle either.

They all want to fight for some power, so they can't understand each other in many things. In comparison, Yuan Ziyi is the most indifferent person among these concubines.

Of course, although Yuan Ziyi is also Emperor Sui Yang's woman, she has no status. She was only in charge of watching the astrology for Emperor Sui Yang.

Now that Chen Yuer is like this, Yang Zhengdao is really at a loss.

After thinking for a long time, he finally spoke: "What does the concubine mean?"

Chen Yu'er said: "This Xiao Wuyong guarding Huanglong City is simply misleading the country. Please allow me to take the women's army to Huanglong City."

"This...removing Xiao Wuyong is probably inappropriate."

"It's not appropriate to withdraw, so I won't withdraw. I only need the Women's Army to go to Huanglong City, and Xiao Wuyong will follow my orders."

This is almost the same as not saying it, but it is indeed a solution. After Yang Zhengdao thought about it, he nodded: "Then I will trouble the concubine."
