The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 377
Everyone could see that Yang Tong stretched his hands very long this time, and the people he sent to remote places were all excellent.This also let everyone see Yang Tong's ambition, not just to dominate the world.

The 1000 people in front of them are all at the age of enthusiasm. Not only did they not complain about Yang Tong's arrangement, but they were full of energy.
"In order to protect everyone's safety, I have selected candidates from the army for county lieutenant and capital lieutenant. These people are the most outstanding school lieutenants in the army. They will go to the post with you. I hope you will seize this opportunity and establish a foothold for us. Outside the territory, lay a solid foundation."

"I would like to abide by His Royal Highness's edict!" Thousands of county-level officials saluted one after another.

"Everyone, go back to the post house to rest. The order in various places is temporarily maintained by the army. I hope you can take office as soon as possible."

"Your servant will leave!" Hearing this, everyone hurriedly said their goodbyes and left.

Looking at the excited faces, the word 'going to the mountains and going to the countryside' suddenly flashed in Yang Tong's mind.

Looking at the hall that suddenly became empty, Yang Tong who was sitting on the dragon chair with "Yue Li" felt a little empty in his heart, as if something was missing and he couldn't tell.

Perhaps, it is loneliness.

At this moment, Yang Tong suddenly felt homesick.

Missing loved ones at home.

Wei Fengwu, eldest grandson Wugou, Shui Tianji, Li Xiuning, the four lovely children and the unborn child, mother Liu, the emperor's grandmother Xiao, Concubine Xiao, Queen Wei, the little princess, Princess Nanyang, and the younger brother Yang You, cousin Yang Zen Master...and the 'Ochi Chief' and Royal Sister Jiang Fengyi who always teased her
Yang Tong, who was inexplicably lonely in his heart, suddenly believed in them and wanted to return to them.

"call!"

Letting out a long sigh of distress in his chest, Yang Tong pushed these thoughts out of his mind. He knew that it was not time to live a leisurely life, so if he really wanted to do this willfully, the countless lives and corpses piled up in front of him would be ruined by him. hands.

To be the master of human beings, public and private must be clearly distinguished.

But this also means that I have to bear many loneliness that outsiders cannot know, but the road to hegemony is chosen by myself, no matter how uncomfortable and lonely I must persist.

Whenever this kind of emotion appears, Yang Tong will tell himself: all the hard work now is to protect the relatives he cherishes, and it is all for a better life in the future.

I can't have too many personal emotions.

Because of him, I can't bear it
Zongheng is the prince and emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and he can't afford it.

With too much tenderness, there will be more fetters in the heart, no matter the opponent or the enemy, there will be more means to deal with oneself.

So after he left his warm family, he didn't dare to bring in too much personal emotion.

He was afraid that he would fail because of this, and if he failed, the family would be ruined.

The pain of losing a loved one because of failure is an unbearable painful torture for both myself and my loved ones!

"Ah ah ah..."

Yang Tong walked to the entrance of Liangyi Hall and let out a wild howl, like a howling of ghosts and wolves.

"Your Highness... what happened?"

In an instant,

Luo Shixin and Yin Mingyue each rushed over with a group of guards, and everyone looked around warily, but they didn't see a single figure, and they all looked at Yang Tong suspiciously.

Yang Tong smiled wryly.

It's fine if you can't bring your personal emotions. If you vent your emotions, it will mobilize the crowd. It's really...

"It's all right."

Yang Tong shook his head, crying and howling for a while, and he became much more refreshed: "When you are unhappy, howling like ghosts and wolves will make you feel better, and it is really effective."

"Really?" Luo Shixin scratched his head and said, "Your Highness, why don't we go hunting and relax?"

Yin Mingyue's pair of phoenix eyes also looked over.

"No way! We have to deal with the messy things in Chang'an as soon as possible, and we must return to Yecheng the day after tomorrow!"

Yang Tong shook his head, motioning for everyone to back off.

Envoys from all over the world are waiting for the enthronement ceremony in Yecheng. It would be ridiculous if I, the protagonist, can't make it on Double Eleven.

Returning to Liangyi Hall, he began to think about the situation in Guanzhong.

Given the popularity of the Sui Dynasty among the people, the prestige of the Eastern and Western Turks, and the palace change that took place in front of them, the dark forces of the Guanlong family were not completely dead, but at least [-]% died that night, plus the traitors of the Guanlong family In the past two days, a lot of people have been arrested and cut down. All of them have disappeared. After I leave Chang'an, Pei Renji and the others will follow up in the later stage. In this way, there are only about one or two left, which is no longer enough. Cause damage to Guanzhong.Even if these people want to make trouble, the people will not make trouble with them.

What's more, the dead are also human beings. When they leave the master's house for a long time, their loyalty will naturally fade away, and they can live a normal life. I am afraid that no one wants to live in the dark, and there will be fewer people in this way.

The embarrassing thing is that Li Yuan not only sent Li Shimin to build a city in Shiquan, Xicheng County, with [-] elite soldiers stationed, but also stationed a large number of troops in Tongchuan, Qinghua, Yicheng, Wudu, Dangchang, Tongchang and other border counties. .

Yang Tong is not afraid of war.

Not to mention that Li Yuan is now at his weakest, even at his peak he can still fight well, not to mention that the strategically important places are all in the hands of the Sui Dynasty, so Yang Tong has no reason to be afraid of Li Yuan.It's just that the town and border generals from all over the country have to go to Yecheng to participate in the celebration and receive rewards. If Li Yuan launches a surprise attack, it will be a big trouble.

Although it is unlikely, but not afraid of [-], just in case.Especially that Li Shimin is definitely the biggest unstable factor.

Yang Tong couldn't figure it out by himself, so he simply summoned Wei Yunqi, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, Pei Renji, and expressed his worries.

Let everyone talk about their opinions.

Fang Xuanling laughed and said: "Your Highness, you are too worried. We still have many children from Guanlong, Guandong, and Nanfang families in our hands. These are living hostages in our hands. Even if Li Yuan wanted to do something, those families would not agree. This is human. and."

"The natural fortresses in Hanzhong and Guanzhong are all occupied by our Great Sui Dynasty. They are easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as the defenders continue to retreat, it will be difficult for Li and Tang to conquer even with hundreds of thousands of soldiers. In the border counties, besides the regular army, our Great Sui Dynasty also distributed With 10,000+ troops stationed in the fields, even if Li Tang came to fight, our army would still be able to hold out for a year or so, this is a favorable location.”

"As for the time of day, there are two aspects. First, Li Yuan is in a weak state. If His Highness is enraged during his enthronement, he will not be able to bear the anger of tens of millions of people in the Sui Dynasty; second, the war in the south is raging. Li Yuan He is competing with Wang Shichong and Li Mi for Jingbei, and there is Xiao Mian to the south, he will not be so stupid as to provoke me, Tai Sui."

"Your Highness, Fang Shangshu's words are extremely true." Li Jing said at this time: "Li Yuan is the representative of the Guanlong family and is regarded by the people as the head of all thieves. The common people went to support him, and his troops were seriously insufficient, and he would not be able to defend even if he was defeated."

"That's right, since you can't keep it, why bother to provoke me, Da Sui?" Wei Yunqi finally said conclusively.

"Everyone is right!" Yang Tong smiled wryly, rubbing the center of his brows, "I feel like I'm a bit of a demon these days... I feel weird when I think about becoming emperor, I feel like I'm about to be a groom Like a boy..."

Everyone laughed knowingly.

"By the way, let Su Dingfang come back too. It's a pity that no one is present."

Huangfu Wuyi, Huangfu Wuyi, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan, Niu Jinda, Jia Wuben, Pei Renji, Wang Bian, Yang Shanhui, Yang Yuanhong, Wei Zheng, Su Dingfang, Li Jing... These people, he just crossed over and followed him all the time The people I am now have the support of them all the way when I am most afraid and confused, so I have the courage to fight, and only then have I won today's Great Sui Dynasty.In his heart, Yang Tong really regards these people as his closest relatives, and they have become part of his life.

In the past, it didn't matter if we were separated from each other, but on the day of enthronement, if these people were not there, everyone would regret it.

"This, it's not very good." Wei Yunqi said.

"That won't work!" Yang Tong flatly refused, looking into the void with his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "My height today was obtained by everyone's bloodmark step by step. If you are not present, what's the point of my reaching the summit?"

This sentence is very low, but it is powerful.It's heartfelt, it's honest, it's touching.

"The country is lost, but it will come back! However, once some regrets happen, they will never be repaired for the rest of my life. I don't want to have such regrets. I hope everyone will be honored with me!"

"I don't believe that Li Yuan has such a species now... Tell the jailer to keep a close watch on all the criminals... If Li Yuan comes to commit crimes, or someone robs the prison, I will cut them all... And the Western Regions is even more impossible. Many of their kings They all went to Yecheng, they have no strength, and they dare not invade Mingyue County..."

"Just let me be capricious!"

"Here!" Everyone looked at each other, and they all saw deep emotion and gratitude in each other's eyes.

Yang Tong smiled wryly in his heart, and said that he would not mix personal feelings... It seems that he is still alone, and has not yet cultivated to the point of being a cold and ruthless god.

. . . . . . . . .

On Yang Tong's side, he was preparing to return to Ye City in an orderly manner, while on the side of the Xiangyang Palace, as Li Shimin quickly brought back the news of the failure of the Daxing Palace Transformation, it became gloomy.

If you count your own army and the wealth of each family, Li Yuan dispatched a total of [-] to [-] troops to deal with Yang Tong this time. Whether he did mental calculations or not, Li Yuan originally thought that he had a [-] to [-]% chance of winning.But Li Shimin actually told him: Failed, failed miserably!

In this battle, Li Tang lost two generals and a son-in-law, and Li Yuan felt ashamed.

Through Li Shimin's introduction, it can be seen that Yang Tong is determined to deal with him again, especially the hype at the border. He obviously intends to use the noble family as a weapon against him. The news of Chang'an came from the territory, and it would be a heavy blow to the morale of Li Tang's army. If the Sui army deployed a large army on the border again, the Tang army who had suffered from a serious "Sui fear disease" might not dare to fight in the first battle.

All kinds of terrible consequences made Li Yuan feel like sitting on pins and needles.

Li Shimin first introduced the battle situation in Daxing Palace, and then presented a thick stack of lists to Li Yuan, and said in a deep voice: "Father, Yang Tong asked us to redeem General Dou Cong and 100 shi with 50 million shi of good grain. Recover the remains of General Dou Kang, 30 shi for grain to redeem the remains of his sister-in-law (Lawyer Pei)... 20 shi for each representative of each family, and 2076 shi for all the dead and alive Guanlong family members! One price, no discount. This list There are a total of [-] people above, and people in the Sui Dynasty also said that there will be more in the future, which means that they will follow the clues and arrest people."

"Trash, a bunch of wine bags and rice bags." With a sullen face, Li Yuan flipped through the lists one by one. He threw the lists on the ground and shouted angrily: "We lost Guanzhong, and all the money and grain of the Guanlong family have become Yang's list." It’s the Dong’s, and there’s a severe drought this year, and the harvests are poor everywhere, even if it’s not enough to confiscate every grain left in the people’s homes, don’t we want to eat?”

It was only at this moment that he realized how important Guanzhong was to him. Without Guanzhong, the Li and Tang Dynasty would have cut off their money.The two members of the Guanlong family escaped from Guanzhong cleanly, and since then they can no longer support him, and the savings of the Guanlong family have enriched Yang Tong, which made Li Yuan mad with jealousy.But Yang Tong, a little bastard, now offered a ransom that he couldn't afford, how could he get it?

Yang Tong, this is digging his own roots!
Li Yuan gritted his teeth with hatred when he thought that Yang Tong had defeated the Eastern and Western Turks, and could attack the city with ease, but he was more worried and afraid. ?If at this time he breaks into Bashu, which is empty of troops, it will be completely over.He hated himself even more for being infatuated with ghosts for a while, and actually listened to Pei Ji's words and went to provoke Yang Tong, a beast.

Thinking of this incident, Li Yuan was furious. If Yang Tong could be killed, hello, hello, hello, everyone, but he lost again, and countless leading figures of the family were directly beheaded.

Li Yuan's mood was extremely bad. On the one hand, he hated Yang Tong to the bone, and on the other hand, he hated the Tang army for not being up to date. Shrinking the territory, Li and Tang were successively taken away by Yang Yu for more than half of the territory, and successively eaten up nearly a million troops. Why are these troops so useless?He really wanted to learn from Yang Tong back then, charge into battle with a knife in hand, and chop the Sui army to pieces.
