Datang: What's wrong with my fief being a billion points larger?

Chapter 55 Ashina-Yu Minghe

Li Yuanji looked at the old Taoist nonchalantly. He knew very well that this man was definitely not a local. His temperament was too different. Moreover, he had only been here for 27 years, which meant he was exiled here during the reign of Yang Jian.

The fact that he could be exiled yet still have such temperament shows that he was not an ordinary citizen in the Sui Dynasty. Li Yuanji suddenly became interested in him.

Li Yuanji would not let go of such a thing that hit the opponent's sore spot. Who made this person so tactless? Did he come here to fish? He was here to complete the task, and this person also insulted him, which was very bad.

The old man fell into silence after listening to Li Yuanji's words. Even though he felt the sound from the fishing rod in his hand, he did not lift it up.

After a while, the old man looked at Li Yuanji calmly.

"My lord, please don't tease an old man like me."

Hearing this, Li Yuanji was not too surprised. It could be seen that he was Li Yuanji, so there was nothing to be surprised about. Not only did he feel that the man in front of him was extraordinary, but also because he often appeared in public.

Then Li Yuanji looked amused.

"Since you know this, why don't you tell me now? Even if you don't tell me, it will only take me some time to investigate you. You should know this very well."

The old man sighed when he heard this and spoke in a complicated tone.

"Forget it. There is nothing to tell the king. Anyway, the matter has passed. My original name is Yu Daorong. I came to Lingnan not because of exile, but because I took the initiative to live in seclusion here.

I was originally a general under General Yu Qingze. In the 17th year of Kaihuang, Li Xian of Lingnan rebelled. I followed my general to Lingnan to quell the rebellion. However, I was framed by the general's brother-in-law Zhao Shizhu, and the general was killed.

Before the army set out, the general had a bad premonition and took the young master with him in the army. After the general died, I brought the young master here to avoid the disaster.

Although Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty later cleared the general's name, the eldest son was executed for treason and the second son was also implicated. I completely gave up the idea of ​​taking the youngest son out.

Now that the Tang Dynasty has overthrown the Sui Dynasty, there is nothing that cannot be said. Your Majesty can also find out. It's a pity for the young master. The head of the family prepared military strategies for the young master. Although I am not talented, I have followed the general for many years and I think I have some abilities.

Over the past twenty years, I have taught the young master everything he should have learned. Unfortunately, he has nowhere to display his skills in this place."

After Yu Daorong finished speaking, he sighed, but Li Yuanji's heart was filled with storms. Not many people may know Yu Qingze, but Li Yuanji knew this person. He knew this person, and it was because of this that he stopped the Turkic invasion from the south, which caused the Turkic people to split directly into two parts, east and west, because of this fuse.

Among them, Dahan Khan and other parts split into Western Turks, and Shetu (Shabolue) and other parts became Eastern Turks. The Eastern Turks were the Turks that forced Li Shimin to sign the Weishui Alliance.

However, the Eastern Turks led by Shetu were repeatedly invaded by the Western Turks. Shetu had to turn to the Sui Dynasty and seek refuge. Finally, Yu Qingze was sent as an envoy to the Eastern Turks, and together with Li Shimin's father-in-law Changsun Sheng, they persuaded Shetu to make the Eastern Turks a vassal state of the Sui Dynasty, paying tribute every year. At the same time, Shetu also married his daughter to Yu Qingze.

Generally speaking, Yu Qingze was born into a family of generals, originally from the Helian clan of the Tiele tribe of the Xiongnu. After joining the arms of Yang Jian, he had many military achievements and was extremely good in all aspects. Even when compared with those famous generals, he could be compared.

Li Yuanji could only say it was a pity, but there was nothing he could do.

However, now here, he met the descendant of Yu Qingze. He had always thought that Yu Qingze only had Yu Renxiao and Yu Chengdao, but he never thought that there was another one here, and he had studied a lot of military books and strategies, and was taught by Yu Daorong for more than 20 years. He didn't know who Yu Daorong was, but being able to be Yu Qingze's confidant and entrusting such a thing to Yu Daorong was enough to prove that Yu Daorong's ability was not small. He must have fought countless battles with Yu Qingze.

Li Yuanji thought that the descendants of Yu Qingze who were taught in this way would be capable. As for theoretical discussions, the teachings of Yu Daorong, who had rich practical experience, would definitely not be just theoretical discussions.

At this time, Yu Daorong's voice came again.

"The young master's name is Yu Minghe, he is now exactly 27 years old, and he is the son of Ashina."

Li Yuanji also understood that Yu Minghe was born to Shetu's daughter. His father was a Xiongnu and his mother was a Turk. As for him, he was 27 years old now, which was the prime of his life.

When Li Yuanji came to his senses, he immediately knew what Yu Daorong was planning. Fortunately, it was his first time fishing and his first time fishing here, otherwise he would really doubt Yu Daorong.

Li Yuanji was very clear that this time it was really a coincidence. Since Yu Daorong said that he had been fishing here for nearly twenty years, this must be true. After all, it can be found out with a simple check.

Now, Li Yuanji became interested in Yu Minghe. He really didn't expect that he could meet such a talented person here.

Li Yuanji looked at Yu Daorong with a smile, and Yu Daorong was also looking at Li Yuanji. After a moment, Li Yuanji slowly spoke.

"I never thought that I would encounter something like this while fishing. I know General Yu Qingze and I admire his ability. Since there is General Yu's orphan here, I must get to know him.

As for the rest, I don't care. If your young master is really capable, I will not treat him unfairly. Even if he is not capable, it doesn't matter. For the sake of General Yu Qingze, I will still treat him well. "

After hearing this, Yu Daorong immediately put away his fishing rod and paid great respects to Li Yuanji.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Unfortunately, I am too old to serve you. I am troubling you because my great general has no descendants. Now that I have met you, Your Majesty, I hope that I can follow you and restore the glory of the Yu family.

As long as the young master has a place to stay, I can go see my general after I go down. Thank you, Your Majesty."

As Yu Daorong spoke, his eyes gradually turned red, which showed that he had been worried about this matter for a long time.

Li Yuanji quickly helped Yu Daorong up. People from that period who were still alive today, at this age, Li Yuanji felt that this person had lived a long life.

Li Yuanji then said, "Alright, I know everything. When you go back, ask Yu Minghe to come over. I will wait for him here."

When Yu Daorong heard this, he happily packed up his fishing rod and went back to call Yu Minghe.

Li Yuanji looked at Yu Daorong's back and smiled. He was in need of people right now, but he met a talented person here. No matter how to say it, after reading so many military books and strategies, and with Yu Daorong's guidance, his abilities and martial arts should not be bad.

Look, he will soon have another general under his command. Even if he has no combat experience, won’t he have it by fighting a few battles in Lingnan?
