Sui Dynasty: I, Yang Guang, am both scrupulous and stable

Chapter 195 The Little Jin King is a fool and has too much money

Early the next morning, Yang Guang woke up and continued to think about yesterday's events. Thinking of how the Yanmen Pass guard seemed to deliberately embarrass him yesterday, he felt that Yu Dehuai seemed suspicious. According to his status, if he provided protection for trade, , indeed it is possible.

But Yanmen Pass was left to Yang Shuang to investigate, so Yang Guang didn't pay much attention to this matter for the time being.

At this time, what he needs most is a local to be his guide in Shuozhou. After thinking about it, Zhou Wu is very suitable, but now he is nowhere to be seen and there is nothing he can do.

After a day of futile efforts, Yang Guang felt that it was not possible to continue the investigation without a clue. The Turks might come over without knowing anything, and he wanted to find out the matter as quickly as possible.

After reorganizing the information, we still focused on the One-leaf Sandalwood Buddha Kingdom.

Yang Guang first returned to Yanmen Pass and found Yang Shuang.

Now Yang Shuang is mobilizing the army and sending scouts out to observe the news. Once there is any abnormal movement, these scouts will be his signal source. If there is no report from the scouts, the enemy army may not know until they have reached the city.

And these scouts are all from the army brought by Yang Shuang himself. Obviously he can't trust the guards of Yanmen Pass now.

"Uncle Wang, I asked for some news."

Yang Guang told Yang Shuang about the previous interrogation, and Yang Shuang frowned slightly: "This One-leaf Sandalwood Kingdom must be wiped out as soon as possible after the war against the Turks is over, otherwise there may be endless troubles."

"Uncle Wang, I plan to destroy Yi Yetan Buddha Country now."

"Ah? I don't know when the Turkic army will come. If we go to encircle and suppress them now, what if there is a fight?"

Yang Guang said firmly: "Although Yiyetan Buddha Kingdom has grown in size, those monk soldiers are not brave people. They are all composed of grass bandits. Their actual combat power cannot be compared with the regular army. Just give me a group of people, and I will It’s not that I want to compete head-on with them in the mountains and forests, I’m just using the reputation of suppressing bandits to investigate the matter of the Turkic scimitars.”

Yang Shuang frowned tightly, it was rare to see him like this.

It is definitely not a good choice to divide the troops at this time, but considering that there may be people in Shuozhou City in Yanmen Pass who trade with the Turks in private markets, there may be Turks spies. Once the Turks know about our army's deployment, our army will be very passive.

In the end, Yang Shuang nodded: "You bring three hundred elite soldiers and firearms to suppress the bandits. Remember to put safety first."

"Uncle Wang, I want to recruit local braves to suppress the bandits."

"Ah? Why?"

"We need to make the noise louder so that those who are interested can show their flaws. People here are not familiar with me now. Many people probably think of me as the prince who comes to the border to do some military exploits. I will use this identity to Spending money like water, greedy for success, and building your own image like this, you may get good results."

Yang Shuang looked at Yang Guang with a puzzled look and a smile on his face: "I didn't expect you to have such a skill. You can go for it, but you still have to use the ones you trust most as the personal guards around you."

"Uncle Wang, don't worry, the people around me are all capable of fighting."

"That's right, I'm more worried than anything."

Before leaving, Yang Guang said: "Uncle Wang, the situation in Yanmen Pass and Shuozhou City is unclear now. Once the Turks come over, anything may happen."

Yang Shuang sighed: "I am now in charge of the deployment of troops at Yanmen Pass and Shuozhou City. I can at least ensure that Yanmen Pass is not broken."

Yang Guang instantly understood what Yang Shuang meant. In the worst case scenario, if there were really spies, if the Turks really knew about our army's deployment, and if there was really no other way, he would give up Shuozhou City and at least save it. Yanmen Pass, if Yanmen Pass is not lost, there will be no danger in the pass.

After leaving, I returned to Yanmen Pass as quickly as possible, and then hung up the notice in the city while it was still dark.

"My father, Kushan bandits, have been in Yiyetanfo for a long time. They burned, killed, looted, and destroyed fertile fields. I am the king of the Sui and Jin Dynasties. Now that I am here, I see that the mountain bandits are so rampant and bullying our people. I cannot bear it. I am now recruiting brave soldiers from the countryside to help me." Go to suppress the bandits, kill the mountain bandits, and stabilize the people of Yiyetanfo Kingdom."

News of the notice spread quickly, and many people came to see it, but mainly they came to join in the fun. The momentum was great, but few people actually participated.

Early the next morning, a notice was delivered to Yu Dehuai, the guard of Yanmen Gate. Yu Dehuai smiled disdainfully when he saw the notice and discarded it like a pair of worn shoes.

He said sarcastically: "I told you that this prince is just here to win some battles. It has only been a few days and he can't stand it any longer. Do you think fighting is easy? If there is no war, you still have to suppress bandits and recruit local warriors." , Ashamed of him for what he has done, there are so many defenders at Yanmen Pass, and there is no need to recruit local warriors. Is he playing a big show? "

The two lieutenants, Zhang Xiangren and Gao Huairong, were beside him. Zhang Xiangren said: "General, His Royal Highness King Jin came to see King Wei yesterday. It seemed that he was not very happy. It should be that His Highness King Wei did not agree to use the army to suppress the bandits. , otherwise how could the King of Jin need to recruit local braves."

Hearing this, Yu Dehuai understood why Yang Guang wanted to recruit local heroes, and became even more disdainful: "Even King Wei doesn't want to take care of him to play this kid's game of house. King Jin must just want to get involved in some troubles. It's a good time to report to His Majesty. At this time, when there is no war, I remember that the bandits are coming, and my little brain is very flexible."

Gao Huairong sighed secretly and said: "Hey, the border is so good. We, a bunch of brothers, have been guarding the border for many years while drinking the northwest wind. Now when King Wei comes, he takes away the power, and the general becomes idle."

After hearing what he said, Yu Dehuai immediately became serious: "Don't talk nonsense, His Royal Highness King Wei is a general who can really fight. He is different from those guys who can only talk about war on paper. You are not allowed to talk behind his back. He must have his own plans for doing things. "When it comes to King Wei, Yu Dehuai's attitude is completely different, no longer disdain, but full of respect.

Yu Dehuai sighed at this time: "If you let that kid mess around, he will definitely cause trouble. You two should follow him to avoid trouble."

Gao Huairong and Zhang Xiangren looked at each other but said nothing.

"Why, you don't obey my orders?"

Finally, Gao Huairong sighed helplessly: "I'll go, I'll go. Playing house with children is really boring."

In this way, Gao Huairong, the deputy general of Yanmen Pass, took seven of his men to surrender to Yang Guang.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, Gao Huairong, the last general, is troubled by bandits. His Highness wants to eliminate the bandits for the people. The last general is willing to contribute to His Highness. He and his seven brothers are willing to join His Highness the Jin King's bandit suppression team. "

When Yang Guang saw this, he immediately burst out laughing: "Okay, okay, okay, General Gao can come, and I, like a tiger with more wings, will be able to kill the thieves as soon as possible. Come on, come on, come in and sit in the house."

"I wonder how many brave men your Highness has recruited now."

"Hahaha, including General Gao, there are eight people in total."

Gao Huairong looked at the seven people he had brought with him with some confusion. Now there were only eight of them in total. Was this... considered boarding a pirate ship?

Seeing Yang Guang's cheerful expression even though he hadn't recruited anyone yet, Gao Huairong became even more convinced that Yang Guang was the prince who didn't understand anything.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid it won't be enough to suppress the bandits just by relying on us."

Gao Huairong now wanted to ask Yang Guang to retreat when he saw the difficulties, so that he could go back and do business, but he didn't expect Yang Guang to smile: "General Gao, don't be in a hurry, I have my own way."

At this time, the people in the room took out the latest version of the notice, and Yang Guang took one in front of Gao Huairong: "Look at this notice, we will definitely recruit people this time."

Gao Huairong looked carefully at the notice, which was not much different from the previous ones. He just added at the end: "Anyone who recruits local braves will get 10 taels of silver, and after the event is completed, he will get another 20 taels."

In the world of martial arts, speed is the only thing that cannot be broken. The King of Jin in front of him is trying to defeat all methods with money. There must be a brave man under the heavy reward. 30 taels of silver. Don't think about it, there must be many people coming.

But if you think about it carefully, if 100 people come, it will cost 3000 taels, and if 200 people come, it will cost 6000 taels. This money is like water, and you have to be stupid and rich to do this.

"Don't worry, General, you and your subordinates have it too, and since you support me so much, I'll give you double the extra."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Gao Huairong didn't expect there would be unexpected gains. King Jin was stupid, but he really had a lot of money.

The notice was posted immediately, and there was no doubt that the response was overwhelming.

There were so many people who came to see the omen, and Yang Guang led people to the scene of the omen in person.

Qin Qiong replaced Yang Guang and stood in the middle of the crowd to select the local heroes, and soon recruited 160 local warriors. The folk customs at the border were relatively tough, and all the people selected were also very strong.

Including Yang Guang's own people and a few people brought by Gao Huairong, a total of 250 people were formed.

Before setting off, Yang Guang led this group of people through the city and arrived at the largest restaurant in Shuozhou to entertain everyone.

This group of people was mixed with fish and dragons. Yang Guang raised his wine glass and saluted everyone: "Fellow warriors, I am the King of Jin Dynasty Yang Guang. I saw the bandits causing harm to the countryside and recruited all the warriors to suppress the bandits together. After the task was completed, among you who performed best, I, the king, I will report to my father specifically to recruit you to join the army as officers. Let’s drink wine today, and everyone can enjoy it.”

Everyone cheered, and while drinking, some people whispered: "This King Jin is really stupid and rich."

"Keep your voice down, you don't care if he is stupid and has a lot of money. As long as we follow him and eat five meals a day, we can get a lot of benefits from being so generous."

"But...if we go to suppress bandits, will the Liu family have any objections?"

"You don't care. Although the Liu family is powerful, there are so many of us. If the sky falls, there will be someone tall to hold it up. Your Highness, Prince Jin, is in front. He can't hit us even if he kills us. Just follow and hang out for a while. ”

As the atmosphere became heated and after three rounds of drinking, Yang Guang took advantage of his drunkenness and said loudly: "Fellow warriors, I am currently lacking information and strategies about the bandits. If any of you can give me some advice tomorrow morning, I will reward you again, heavily." .”
