The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 456 Sudden Changes

In the early morning, Yang Tong woke up naturally, and Shui Tianji next to her was still sleeping soundly. She didn't know what beautiful things she had dreamed of, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.Or Yang Tong disturbed her sweet dreams, and immediately embraced her like an octopus. Yang Tong smiled and struggled away gently. After losing her target, Shui Tianji hugged the quilt.

Yang Tong shook his head and dressed himself neatly. The Luoyang offensive and defensive battle between Tang and Wei was extremely fierce day and night. The downsizing is huge, but it is full of resilience. Although it is not as strong as it has in history, it is quite stable. This may be Wang Shichong's implementation of the equal distribution of fields, which has won some popular support. However, according to the eagle letter sent by the members of the black ice platform in the city, Wang Shichong formed an elite division based on the Jianghuai Army. There are only about three or four thousand people left, and everyone is injured. It seems that Wang Shichong can't last long.

To Yang Tong's surprise, Wang Shichong didn't surrender to Tang even after he had beaten him to such an extent. I don't know what he was insisting on. Did he really believe that he would save him?

What he didn't know was that Wang Shichong's relatives were almost killed by Li Tangzhu, and the two had already reached the point where they could not coexist. Wang Shichong knew that even if he descended to Tang Dynasty, Li's father and son would not be able to spare the Wang family, so they simply fought to the end, even to the death. I also want to gnaw off a piece of Li Tang's meat fiercely.Vigorousness, Wang Shichong never lacks, otherwise, he would not stand on his own as emperor.In history, he and Li Tang hadn't reached the point where they were at odds with each other. They fell into the trap that Li Tang set up for him as a high-ranking official, and his family eventually died at the hands of the so-called "enemies", such as Dou Jiande, Li Mi, Du Fu Wei, Xiao Xian, Wang Bo, Li Gui, Meng Haigong, and Xue Rengao also died after they descended to the Tang Dynasty.It can be seen from this that Li Yuan is not a villain with tolerance.

In contrast, Yang Guang, who was discredited by the Li family, was much more magnanimous. Take Master Chen as an example, not only did he die, but many of his younger brothers and sons were hired by Yang Guangliang, and many people were arranged to As county guards and magistrates in various places, Yang Guang's boldness and self-confidence are fully reflected here.

From Yang Tong's point of view, either you don't allow the opponent to surrender, and you use your strength to crush the enemy leader into powder. If you agree, you must carry out your promise. After all, they were not your opponents in the most prosperous period. Now The opponent has lost all his claws and claws, and is living in fear under your supervision, so why bother to engage in such indecent tricks?
Of course, Yang Tong will also see people make the right choice. For example, Li Mi, Wang Shichong and other cunning real heroes, he will never surrender, and reckless characters like Du Fuwei, they are forced by the situation. Only when they rebelled, even if they become the leaders of one party, they are still people who are easy to be satisfied in their bones. Yang Tong doesn't care at all, and accepting it is accepting it.

Gently closing the door, Yang Tong started a day of morning exercises.

Tai Chi is indeed a good thing. It can not only build strength, enhance the flexibility of the body, but also have health-preserving effects.When he looked at Taijiquan with the eyes of a warrior, he realized the mystery of this boxing method. After more than a year of research and improvement with Sun Simiao, who is proficient in the way of health preservation, Taijiquan has become a compulsory course in Tsinghua University. , Even the women in the royal family are required to practice every day. After all, this boxing method itself is easy to learn. Although it cannot make them all become warriors, it is certain to prolong their lives.Most of the women in ancient times were beautiful and unlucky. In the final analysis, they lacked exercise.

Virtuous, virtuous, quiet and elegant go deep into their souls, and they even pay attention to walking, not to mention exercising at all.The human body is like a machine. The more you use it, the better it will be. If you leave it for a long time, it will naturally rust.Taijiquan not only achieves the purpose of self-cultivation, cultivating sentiment, strengthening body and prolonging life, but also the key is elegant posture and leisurely spirit, which is consistent with the virtuous and elegant character of ancient women, so it is very popular.

Yin Mingyue consciously came to Yang Tong's side, and together with Yang Tong used Tai Chi to stretch her muscles and bones, and then competed in knife skills.

Yang Tong's chances to fight on the battlefield are almost non-existent, and his martial arts gradually tend to be close combat, and he strives to strengthen his training in dealing with assassination.

An hour later, Yin Mingyue was so tired that her hands and feet were weak and she was dripping with sweat. Yang Tong also saw sweat on his forehead. Yang Tong glanced at her, and she was a bit more strong and mature than before. His eyes are full of power, like a cold fairy.

Yang Tong smiled and said, "Let's have dinner together!"

"Here!" Yin Mingyue nodded, she didn't consider herself an outsider either.

Shui Tianji hadn't got up yet, and there were only two people eating today.

"Your Majesty, Fang Shangshu and Ling Shangshu are asking to see you." While eating, a guard came in and said respectfully.

"Let them go to the side hall to wait!" Yang Tong said calmly, Fang Xuanling and Ling Jing came here at this time, obviously not for breakfast, afraid that there was something important to report, Yang Tong finished the bowl of porridge After that, he hurriedly got up and rushed to the side hall.

"Your Majesty! General Luo defeated Li Xiaogong, and took back Xiangcheng County and Fuyang." Seeing Yang Tong coming in a hurry, Fang Xuanling said with a beaming smile.

"So soon? When did it happen?" When he heard the news, Yang Tong was obviously taken aback. Although he had high expectations for Luo Shixin, since Luo Shixin attacked Li Xiaogong and now, it didn't even take five days. But this guy not only killed Li Xiaogong's [-] troops silently, but also took Xiangcheng and Fuyang into his pocket. According to this calculation, Luo Shixin had already wiped out the puppet Tang's [-] troops. If the record does not give the first credit, Yang Tong will feel uneasy.

"I received a letter from Feiying from General Luo this morning. This is a battle report." Ling Jing also had a smile on his face. Luo Shixin took down Xiangcheng and Fuyang in silence, which was equivalent to cutting off the puppet. Tang Dongjin's claws, as long as Yingchuan is captured again, even Li Mi will lose the way to go north to Luoyang. At that time, as long as Fengyang and Yingchuan are blocked, with Luo Shixin at the rear to check, Yang Tong can attack Li Shimin with peace of mind.

In order to prevent being intercepted, the Flying Eagle transmission has been replaced with coded transmission, but when it is sent to Yang Tong, it is naturally the real information translated.

Yang Tong took the information from Ling Jing with great interest, and read it carefully. The content was recorded in great detail. After a long time, he raised his head and said, "This guy is too risky!"

After Luo Shixin got rid of Li Xiaogong's army, none of the counties behind them recovered, and he chased Li Xiaogong out of Wuchuan County in Wuyang.

In the eyes of others, this raid is a classic battle, but Yang Tong is a man who knows how to fight, and he can see at a glance that Luo Shixin regained the second county so quickly. There is too much luck, even if there is a little mistake, the best The ending was also deadlocked, and the worst result was being made dumplings. After all, he was traveling lightly, and his arrows and dry food were very limited.

Fortunately, Luo Shixin still had a brain, and he knew that he would send people to Luyang Pass at the junction of Xiangcheng and Fuyang, otherwise he would have to be cut off by the puppet Tangjun soldiers from nearby counties.

Ling Jing nodded. He did not deny this. When he was sorting out the battle report, he was also taken aback by Luo Shixin's bold behavior. defeated.

"It's really..." Yang Tong finally shook his head. Although he knew that Luo Shixin was daring to take risks, when he saw the result now, Yang Tong still felt his heart beating faster.

"General Luo likes to use small things to make big gains. Of course, if he wins, it will be a big harvest, but if he loses, the result is often unbearable. General Luo has won the true biography of the sage." Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

"Have it?"

"Which battle is not the case, Your Majesty?"

Yang Tong couldn't help but smile too.In the few battles that have the most influence on his great cause, it is true that he is taking the slant of the sword and using the small to make the big. Otherwise, how can he have today's glory?Shaking his head, he said, "Now we have achieved great success in the Sui Dynasty, so there is no need to take such a strange risk."

Now if Yang Tong needs it, he can raise an army of one million in addition to the regular army at any time. This is the lowest figure calculated by the Ministry of War.And as long as he is given time, he can also recruit foreign mercenaries who surrendered to him from the three tribes of the East/Turks and the Western Regions. These people are very willing to obtain the status of the people of the Sui Dynasty through military exploits.

With no shortage of soldiers and rations, Yang Tong naturally didn't want Luo Shixin, Qin Qiong, Pei Renji and other "officials from the dragon" to take risks. It was an unbearable loss. This guy was not only a general of the Sui Dynasty, but also an indispensable friend of Yang Tong.

"Although General Luo is a little risky, he must have considered Qin Qiong behind him, so he let go and chased after him. If he was really stupid and bold, he would not have left troops at Luyang Pass. Your Majesty, don't worry too much. .”

"That's true."

"General Luo has already wiped out Li Xiaogong's main force, and made my Sui soldiers head straight to Guiyang, which is equivalent to keeping Li Shentong's [-] troops out of Luoyang. Li Yuan is worried that Xiangyang will not be stable, and I am afraid he will not send troops to support Luoyang. Now we don't have to worry about the Jingxiang Tang army at all, we can deal with Li Shimin calmly."

"It's useless to say anything now, but luckily everything has been won." Yang Tong smiled and said, "The task of confronting the Tang army is given to Shu Bao, and Luo Shixin will come back to assist. As for Yingchuan, it will be given to Shu Bao's subordinates." Zuo Tiancheng and Wang Bian go to recover."

Ling Jing nodded and said: "My lord, the situation has changed because of General Luo! I think the time is ripe, should we also march to Luoyang?"

"Reconsider!" Fang Xuanling cupped his hands and said, "If Li Shimin finds out and withdraws from Luoyang in advance, we will lose the good chance to wipe out the puppet Tang's vitality."

"Then let's get started!" Yang Tong nodded, "Immediately Feiying sent a letter to Yang Pushe, asking him to cross south immediately; in addition, let Shangluo Xue Wanjun send elites to sneak into Hongnong and cut off Li Shimin's food road; before Li Shimin reacts , eat his soldiers and horses!"

Now that Li Xiaogong's troops have been wiped out, Yang Tong's layout is half the battle, and there is no need to delay the battle of Luoyang.As long as all Henan counties including Luoyang fall into his own hands, even if the princes of the world form an alliance, Yang Tong will have enough confidence to face it alone. How can there be time to form an alliance with Li Yuan?

The general trend of the world has developed so far, and it has become more clear.Whether it is Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, Liu Heita, or Wang Xiaohu, they cannot escape the fate of being eliminated. The law of the jungle has always been the same.
