The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 518

In the northeast of Shangshanli, in a large mansion, compared to the hustle and bustle outside, it looks quite deserted. This is where Li Daozong settled down. Since he was captured alive, he has evolved from the initial rage to today's peace of mind. Although he is a prisoner, Yang Tong has nothing to say about his courtesy. After all, he has to sell it for a high price. Of course, Yang Tong can't let him face the puppet representative of the Tang Dynasty with a sallow and emaciated appearance. He practices martial arts and reads books every day. Happy, except not being able to leave the house, everything is free.Li Daozong didn't even think about running away, this is where Yang Tong stayed, and the whole area was full of Sui troops, even if he was put on the inner street, he wouldn't be able to escape, so why bother?
When Yang Tong found him, Li Daozong was fishing, but his fishing method was quite different.

Taking a closer look, Yang Tong suddenly let out a burst of laughter, "Chengfan, other people's fishing is fishing, why did you catch yourself?"

Li Daozong glanced at Yang Yu, blushed and shouted thickly: "I am willing, I like it!"

But he didn't have the mood for fishing, and after fishing for a long time, no fish took the bait. Annoyed, he lifted the fishing line hard, and the hook caught in the back of his neck. When it entered the meat, it made him feel so raw and painful.

Yang Tong helped him take off the fishing hook, sat on the side of the stone, and looked at Li Daozong with a smile.

He suddenly felt that Li Daozong's situation was very similar to that of Lord Wei on Tongchi Island. Both of them were in prison and enjoying a prosperous life. The difference was that one was on the island and the other was in the mansion. Of course, Li Daozong himself did not have seven For wives and beauties.Lord Wei wished to leave Tongchi Island as soon as possible, and so did Li Daozong. Thinking about it this way, he had a little more confidence in persuading Li Daozong.

"Chengfan, have you gotten used to it during this time?"

"An incompetent defeated general, who has the right to say that he is not used to it." Li Daozong smiled bitterly, and laughed at himself: "When I come to my brother-in-law, my brother-in-law is quite comfortable, and I have gained a lot of weight these days."

There was no personal grievance between each other, and Li Daozong didn't look at Yang Tong with anger, but he obviously didn't recognize Yang Tong as the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and he simply referred to it as a personal relationship.

"I don't think you are incompetent! Looking at Li Tang, apart from Li Shimin and brother Xiaogong, you are Li Daozong who is qualified to be the commander-in-chief of the first army. In this respect, there are not many people in my Sui Dynasty who can compare you."

"Back then in Guanzhong, my brother-in-law said the same thing. He was really proud and excited at the beginning; but after this defeat, my younger brother has no confidence in himself."

"Your defeat is due to Li Shimin doing bad things with good intentions! We all know this very well."

"A defeat is a defeat. My little brother is not shameless enough to shirk his responsibility."

"You think so, but someone doesn't think so!"

"What's the explanation?" Li Daozong was cut off from the outside world and didn't know what happened next.

"Li Tang's Eastern Expedition completely failed...the defeat was very miserable!" Looking at Li Daozong's pale face, Yang Tong smiled faintly: "To a certain extent, the series of brilliant victories I achieved in the Sui Dynasty were all due to you. It was given to us by the loyal imperial court."

"After Shixin defeated you, he surrounded Brother Xiaogong with Shubao...Brother Xiaogong decided to withdraw his troops and retreat to Luyang Pass; he planned to exchange a Xiangcheng county for nearly [-] living strength. This is a very wise decision... ...However, the Li Tang court was reluctant to get the territory it had, so it let Brother Xiaogong stick to it, and sent Li Shentong to lead an army of [-] as the rear army, but Li Shentong stood still in Nanyang in order to protect himself... At this time, the Li Tang court ordered Xiaogong Brother withdrew..."

Li Daozong was so angry with this stupid decision that he almost vomited blood, and said in a blunt tone: "Brother Xiaogong is withdrawing at this time...it is very likely to turn into a big rout. This must give the cavalry a chance, and any of you generals will use cavalry Master... your results should be very optimistic."

"When brother Xiaogong arrived in Xiangyang, there were less than a thousand people left! And Shi Xin killed Fuyang and Nanyang in one go. In this way, Xiangcheng and Fuyang are mine. As for brother Xiaogong, he became the leader of the Eastern Expedition. The victim was deposed as a civilian and has not been hired up to now." Yang Tong looked at Li Daozong with an ugly face, and told the story of Li Shimin's confrontation with the Sui Dynasty again.

After hearing this, Li Daozong was somewhat comforted, and burst out laughing: "In the whole world, there are very few people who can make brother-in-law suffer. I didn't expect King Jin to come up with a way to hold the people of Luoyang to force brother-in-law to give way. This is very rare. .”

Yang Tong looked at the laughing Li Daozong speechlessly: "Not only did we not lose a single battle, but we also ate tens of thousands of Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng's troops, and finally took over the grain, grass, ordnance of Luoshui Camp, and Hongnong County with ease. I don’t know what makes you feel funny. Moreover, Li Tang’s defense line is like a fishing net leaking everywhere. If I attack from Xiyang, Nanyang, Shangluo, Hanchuan, Wudu, and Dangchang at the same time! Do you think Li Shimin’s troops should Where to guard? Where can it be guarded?"

Li Daozong's laughter stopped abruptly.

After a long while, he opened his mouth and said: "This is the head of the brother-in-law's family. I don't know if the younger brother is true or not, but from the brother-in-law's point of view, it seems that he wants to say that he is a younger brother. If it is true, brother-in-law should not bother."

"You say yourself that you are a defeated general. Why do I want you? To give someone else's head? The reason why you have been raised fat for nothing is because we are relatives and I am embarrassed to abuse you; secondly, it is for Sell ​​it for a good price, and if you are willing to pay enough, Cheng Fan can naturally return to his hometown. As for me, I can also earn a few catties of meat money!"

"..." Li Daozong's whole body is not well, he dares to raise him as an animal, or weigh him by the catty, as long as he weighs a catty, Yang Tong can receive an extra catty of meat money,
"Then why are you here? Wouldn't it make me fatter just to keep me still?" Li Daozong said angrily.

This guy is done.

Yin Mingyue on one side has a premonition that Li Daozong has fallen into Yang Tong's trap.

"You are my brother-in-law, of course I am willing to support you... But a child as young as your niece can only eat if he completes the prescribed tasks every day! As an uncle, you can't just eat and drink with me all the time, can you? I I don't mind, but you are such a big man, do you think you are embarrassed?"

Li Daozong's face became even uglier, he said as if I would like to eat and drink for free with you, but his words were not rude, and Li Daozong also knew that Yang Tong had a strange rule, his children wanted to eat delicious food For retail sales, you have to complete a certain amount of homework, otherwise you will not be given. According to this rule, Li Daozong is indeed not as promising as a few young children, so he said with a dark face: "Brother-in-law wants me to do something, just say it clearly. But we have to agree in advance that I will never fight against my Tang army, nor will Li Mi, Xiao Xian and others..."

Li Daozong was very vigilant, once he helped Yang Tong to fight Li Mi and Xiao Mian, he would not be able to clean up after following the Yellow River.

"Chengfan can rest assured that this matter originated from Japanese slaves and has nothing to do with any power in the country."

"Women?"

"It is the Yamato country in the sea."

"I know this. Did the Dahe Kingdom offend my brother-in-law?" Li Daozong immediately felt relieved when he heard that it was not a domestic force.

"It's not that he offends me, but that Han people with a little bit of conscience are offended by him..." Yang Tong said: "The Japanese slaves can't get any benefits in Silla and Baekje, so they took advantage of the civil war in the Central Plains to do evil to the coastal areas." , I did not suffer in the Sui Dynasty, but Dou Jiande and Li Mi suffered. Maybe you think I am a dog gnawing on a mouse and meddling in my own business! But I always think that the civil war is a dispute between my brothers. No matter who wins or loses, this country will always It belongs to the Han family, but this Japanese slave is a foreign thief. My brother is beaten by foreign enemies and has no way to fight back. Relatively speaking, I am the boss. Dominate the world?"

"This is also what I most admire about my brother-in-law..." Li Daozong's tone revealed a sense of admiration, "Your vision and your mind have never been limited to domestic disputes. No matter whether you are in adversity or prosperity, you will always Focus on the interests of the nation, and always shoulder the responsibility of defending the frontier... If you are more selfish, the world will be different."

Yang Tong laughed, feeling that this guy is an angry youth, it would be easier to deal with him, "I'm going to teach the Japanese slaves a painful lesson, but the people in the navy don't have the experience of leading troops to fight land battles alone, and they are good at fighting land battles." The general of the war is in an important position and cannot leave. Others are not qualified enough, so I would like to ask Cheng Fan to help me for the sake of the same clan, and take responsibility for the landing operation! I can promise you, the shortest is one years, or three years at most, even if no one from Li Tang comes to redeem you, I will give you back your freedom."

Instinctively, Li Daozong felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, and Yang Tong's offer was very generous, which meant that within three years, as long as he was willing to help, no matter whether Li Tang sent someone to redeem him, he would give him money. He is free and thinks about it, which seems to be more beneficial to him.

"As for you, what you lack is the experience of leading troops in battle. These small-scale wars are just the whetstone to sharpen you into a world-class blade." Yang Tong said again.

Li Daozong thought for a while, and finally nodded: "I hope brother-in-law can keep his promise."

"At my status and status, if I break my promise, it will make people feel cold. I won't cause disappointment and chills for you alone." Yang Tong said solemnly.

"Little brother accepts the task, just for a change of food, not brother-in-law's salary." Li Daozong said solemnly, not wanting to make excuses.

"Okay!" Yang Tong tried his best to hold back his laughter!
The conditions were settled, and Yang Tong explained the mission to Li Daozong, and explained Kong Yingda's guerrilla tactics. Li Daozong was also a militant, or three years had passed in a hurry. Second fleet rendezvous.

………………

"The Holy One is easy to plan." Seeing the foolish Li Daozong being sent away, Yin Mingyue spoke, the so-called bystander is clear, and she is not stupid, and she has seen too many Yang Tong's routines, so Yang Tong's calculation, But he couldn't escape her eyes.

Yang Tong smiled and asked, "How do you say that?"

"The next step is to send people to Xiangyang as soon as possible to spread the news that Li Daozong has surrendered to the Sui Dynasty? Li Yuan was so angry that he cut off Li Daozong's whole family, which made Li Daozong completely break with Li Yuan, so Daozong had another great talent. At the same time, It is also to let the puppet Tang know that even the Li clan is not optimistic about the future of the puppet Tang, which has caused a big blow to the prestige of the puppet Tang."

"It's unnecessary." Yang Tong shook his head: "Li Daozong is not an idiot, if I really do this, how can I hide it from him?"

"Has your Majesty ever thought about how it will end after three years?" Yin Mingyue was somewhat dissatisfied.

"I don't think Li Yuan can live for three years, and the Puppet Tang Dynasty can last for three years. If Li Yuan can survive three years later, then give Li Daozong back to him. This guy has worked hard for me for three years, and he doesn't need a salary. It's rare, you have to be honest, you have to set a good example for the children." Yang Tong said disapprovingly.

Yin Mingyue curled her lips: "I'm afraid that if Li Daozong is released in three years, Li Yuan will not dare to use him. The Holy Majesty's move is beautiful, and on the surface it is frank, but in fact, after three years, no matter whether Li Yuan is dead or not, It is impossible for Li Daozong to work for the pseudo-Tang anymore."

"Whether Li Daozong is alive or dead three years later, it has nothing to do with me!"

"But I think Li Daozong is stupid. Can this person take on heavy responsibilities?"

"You are stupid! How dare you call others stupid?" Yang Tong looked at Yin Mingyue speechlessly, and said leisurely, "According to Li Yuan's previous style, he has been redeemed long ago, but Li Daozong has been a captive for so long, and he can't Going back to Xiangyang... What does this mean? It means that he has been abandoned by Li Yuan, and he also knows the truth. And when I said that Li Xiaogong became the scapegoat for the failure of the Eastern Expedition, his face changed. Disappointed with Li Yuan, since he can no longer hope for Li Yuan, he needs to save himself. It is very cost-effective to exchange three years for a lifetime of freedom. At the same time, he went overseas, and he also jumped out of the dispute between right and wrong. Still Li Yuan and Li Mi, they have always been heroes who have made contributions to the nation. By then, the world will be settled, and there will be no personal grievances between each other. The emperor's mind is not the same as before. But to abuse a national hero is an eternal infamy, and no one will do such a thing as a little Li Daozong for thousands of years, so even if Li Daozong cannot hold real power, he can still gain glory and wealth by virtue of the title of national hero."

"So that's it!" Yin Mingyue nodded half-understanding and said, "It seems that I am stupid."

"So, you can't leave my side, and you don't know how you were killed." Yang Tong said very smugly.

"I won't leave!" Yin Mingyue was delighted.

Facts have proved that Yang Tong thought too much.

. . . . . . .

Not long after, Li Daozong boarded the Sui warship and flowed eastward along the river. Looking at the scenery on both sides of the river, he suddenly let out a howl of ghosts and wolves.

He's finally out of jail.

He can finally put on a battle armor and walk across the battlefield.

after?He really didn't think about it.

On the other side, Xu Jingzong, who was admiring the scenery on both sides of the strait, looked at Li Daozong and smiled warmly.

He is the army strategist for this trip. The mission Yang Tong gave him was some kind of insidious trick. Although he desperately put it on the territory of the Japanese slaves, he was also a member of the Military Affairs Department, responsible for brainwashing Li Daozong and making him realize Rebellion has no way out, no future.

Thinking of that great young emperor, Xu Jingzong's eyes filled with strong reverence.

"General Lee."

"Mr. Xu!"

"Follow Da Sui, you can get whatever you want."

"what?"

"Follow Da Sui, you can get whatever you want. Read along! You will be very happy." Xu Jingzong said in a gentle tone
"..." Li Daozong's goosebumps arose when he looked at Xu Jingzong, who was 'strangely angry', and his eyelids trembled.

"Sorry, it's sand in your eyes? Let me help you..."

"Thank you, I'll just rub it."

Li Daozong was terrified.

"General Li, the space in the cabin is small. Tonight, we can sleep on our feet, just as we can talk about the upcoming military operations. By the way, let's talk about the situation of Japanese slaves." The task is heavy, Xu Jingzong thinks that he should make a plan with Li Daozong, this is the key.The brainwashing thing will come again slowly.

Li Daozong's face was pale, and he could hardly stand up: "Still... enough to sleep?"

"When you're marching, everything is approaching. Although the cabin is a bit small, the bed is good. You will feel that it is a kind of enjoyment to lie on it." Xu Jingzong laughed.

Li Daozong always felt that Xu Jingzong had bad intentions for him, and even his smile was so insignificant, so he couldn't stop complaining, enjoy?If I really fall asleep with you...then you are enjoying...my body!It's okay, why do you look so white.

It's alright now, people are thinking about it, if it's a woman, it doesn't matter even if it's ugly, but Xu Jingzong is a man, but he still doesn't look good.

Li Daozong is a man, but he doesn't want to sleep with men.

However, his bad brother-in-law actually matched him with such a monster. God, how did he live these long three years?Li Daozong couldn't help worrying about his innocence.
