Yang Xuangan came out of the class and said: "If the internal strife is not eliminated, the external adversity is difficult to overcome. I have suffered from the state's favor and can't repay it. I am willing to hold the whip and serve the emperor!"

Yang Guangda said happily: "The general's tiger son really deserves his reputation. Pass the decree, promote Yang Xuangan to the Minister of Rites, and lead You Wuwei General to go to Hebei to capture the rebels!"

In fact, just before Yang Guang summoned the group of ministers, Yang Xuangan had just received an urgent report from Yang Wanxiang.Although Zhao Jun's messenger left a day and a half earlier, it was by land, but Yang Wanxiang used the canal and took the water, but he arrived an hour earlier.

Lu Mingyue wanted to rebel, so she also contacted Yang Xuangan beforehand. Although Yang Xuangan did not agree to rebel because of Li Mi's persuasion, her contact with Lu Mingyue was not interrupted.Once Lu Mingyue is defeated and captured, there is no guarantee that Yang Xuangan will not be confessed, so Yang Xuangan will try his best to fight for the opportunity to lead the army this time, but Yang Guang actually agreed.

If there was a big case of treason as usual, Yu Wenshu would definitely not persuade Yang Guang to go to the imperial conquest, but now he is determined to please Yang Guang, so naturally he spared no effort, and immediately persuaded: "The emperor is a wise king through the ages, internal strife and external troubles can be eliminated at one stroke. , why do you need to prioritize! A few small thieves, Mr. Yang will definitely catch them when he goes out. I once again ask the emperor to attack Tiele in the north, and I am willing to be the front!"

This flattery of Yu Wenshu hit Yang Guang's heart, and Yang Guang couldn't help but look joyful, and waved his hand and said, "Decree! Yu Wenshu is recruiting vanguard officers, leading the troops first, and I will come later!"

At this time, Li Yuan stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, there are few soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, but we must guard against them. Please lead the troops to the south of the Yangtze River to wipe out the rebels!"

Since the Great Sui Dynasty unified the world, the imperial court has implemented the military strategy of "reserving more and controlling less, and raising the people in the pass to face the four directions". Therefore, although the military mansions are spread all over the country, one-third of them are concentrated in the two capitals, while in the south of the Yangtze River In Lingnan and Lingnan, there are only three Yingyang mansions in total.Its purpose is to make the southerners ignorant of military affairs, so that the imperial court can control them.But doing so also brought about a problem. If a large-scale rebellion broke out in the south, the local government did not have enough soldiers to suppress it.

However, Li Yuan took the initiative to invite Ying, not only to relieve Yang Guang's worries, but the possibility of seizing military power by taking the opportunity may be greater.

Yang Guang was suspicious by nature, and he was especially uneasy about Li Yuan. He immediately waved his hand and said, "You are the new Young Minister of the Weifu. I need you to personally arrange the car and support for my imperial conquest. How can I leave lightly? Jiangnan, Let someone else go."

Lu Mingyue is a poor bandit, suppressing the rebellion is dangerous and not very rewarding, so no one will fight with Yang Xuangan.But Jiangnan is different. The Wang family is a famous family with huge wealth. Even if half of it is lost during the inspection, it is an astronomical figure, so everyone is enthusiastic.

Yang Guang frowned, but seeing General You Xiaowei Lai Huer remained silent, he couldn't help but said: "Lai Huer, would you like to go to the south of the Yangtze River?"

Lai Hu'er cupped his hands and said: "The emperor insists on conquering himself, and I should follow around. I recommend one person, and the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River can be quelled!"

Yang Guang was quite surprised, nodded and asked, "Who are you citing?"

Lai Hu'er said in a deep voice, "Zhang Xutuo!"

Zhang Xutuo first followed Shi Wansui to quell the Qiang rebellion in Kunzhou, and then followed Yang Su to quell the rebellion of Han Wang Yang Liang.

The army from Luoyang that Liu Ziqiu saw on the official road was led by Zhang Xutuo.At the end of the line, there was another army with leather armor and leather armor. One of them, riding a yellow horse and carrying a long spear, was Qin Shubao.

It turned out that Lai Hu'er recommended Zhang Xutuo, and worried that he would fail to counter the rebellion, so he transferred his elite soldiers to him, including Qin Shubao.

Qin Shubao also saw Liu Ziqiu, but the military discipline was strict, he couldn't leave without permission, so he nodded to Liu Ziqiu, and didn't even dare to say anything.

……

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the banks of the Qiantang River, covering Changshan Village with a golden coat, and the smoke from the kitchen rose up, creating a sense of peace and tranquility.Suddenly, the gong of "Ding Ding Dang Dang" sounded from the turret in the northwest of the village. This was a warning of an incoming enemy, and the villagers who had returned home rushed out one after another.

Always preparing for battle is their usual training slogan. Bamboo spears are placed outside the door, each has a clear sentry position, and the suspension bridge has been raised high.Unless it is the regular army of the imperial court, some bandits and water bandits can only hit stones with eggs.

The most excited is the group of young soldiers.After many days of training and sufficient nutrition, the boys have grown stronger and want to show their skills.

Regardless of An's persuasion, Gao Xiu'er also walked out of the house.According to Liu Ziqiu's explanation, she practiced hard every day, and never let up even in cold weather. She was no longer the weak girl she was a few months ago.

Before reaching the entrance of the village, I heard a burst of cheers, the suspension bridge was lowered again, and I saw Shuan Zi galloping towards him, shouting excitedly, "Sister-in-law, go and see, Brother Big Niu is back!"

Liu Ziqiu's trip to Moling has yielded a lot. Two carriages and 24 good horses are just part of what the Xie family gave.

All the villagers gathered, and Liu Ziqiu began to distribute gifts.It's the end of the year, and these are the New Year's goods given by Xie's family. They have everything to eat, use, and play, and they are much better than those sold in Yanguan City.From time to time, there were laughter and laughter in Liu Ziqiu's small courtyard, it was more lively than New Year's Eve.

Seeing that Gao Xiu'er has not had a chance to speak to Liu Ziqiu about something personally, Wei Zheng couldn't help laughing and said, "Folks, folks, the couple is better than a newlywed, everyone should break up, let's break up."

Amidst the laughter of the villagers, the courtyard gradually returned to tranquility.Gao Xiu'er lowered her head and called softly, "Lang Jun."

Knowing what she meant, Liu Ziqiu took her hand and whispered, "Tonight, let Xiang Cao and the others make a bed outside."

Gao Xiuer had been waiting for this day for a long time, she blushed with embarrassment.

Suddenly someone said softly, "Ah Lang, why are you sleeping here?"

Liu Ziqiu didn't need to look back to know that it was sister Ninglu Ningshuang.

Although the pair of sisters are only maidservants of the Xie family, they were raised as ladies of the family since they were young, and they never knew that such a poor life existed in the world.They also saw Gao Xiu'er a long time ago, saw that although she was beautiful, her jewelry was not as gorgeous as their sisters, and they thought she was just a maid in Liu Ziqiu's family.

Seeing Liu Ziqiu and Gao Xiuer's intimacy, the sisters felt a sense of sourness in their hearts, and they couldn't help acting coquettishly.

Liu Ziqiu lowered his face and said, "Come see your mistress soon!"

The two sisters didn't expect this beautiful young woman in plain clothes to be the mistress, they panicked and bowed down.In this era, the mistress of the family has the absolute power of life and death over the maids, not to mention that they are not as beautiful as Gao Xiu'er, even if they are a hundred times more beautiful than Gao Xiu'er, they dare not openly compete for favor.

There were many people from the Xie family who sent Liu Ziqiu and the others back today.Although Gao Xiu'er had already seen the pair of sisters, she did not expect that these two identical beauties were actually her maidservants, so she couldn't help pinching Liu Ziqiu fiercely, and said with a straight face: "Vanilla, you go and arrange for them to live together. Down."

Vanilla agreed, and looked at the pair of sisters with a bit of malicious intent.

Sister Ninglu Ningshuang didn't expect that she would offend the mistress as soon as she came, and she felt uneasy, how dare she choose fat and thin, and she no longer thinks this thatched cottage is simple and crude.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the lanterns are just coming on, and Changshan Village returns to silence.Liu Ziqiu took a very comfortable bath and walked into the back room.Today, the pair of sisters were very sensible and did not dare to continue sticking to his side.

Although it was just a thatched cottage, it could be regarded as the boudoir of the daughter's family. The room was extremely clean, and there was still a subtle fragrance in the air.Candles were burning brightly on the tables, the red embroidered quilts and red curtains were full of festiveness.

Gao Xiu'er sat quietly by the couch, and when she saw Liu Ziqiu coming in, she took a sneak peek, then quickly lowered her head, a blush rose on her fair and tender cheeks, she kept rubbing her hands, as if there was nowhere to put her, and she was still waiting in anticipation. There was a little nervousness.

Liu Ziqiu sat down beside Gao Xiu'er, hugged her in his arms, and whispered, "I wronged you today. Later, I will make up the most romantic and lively wedding for you."

But Gao Xiu'er said quietly: "My family is just a rootless duckweed, to be with my lord, I have nothing else to ask for."

However, Liu Ziqiu had already made up his mind to give Gao Xiuer a surprise in the future, not only to let Xie's family recognize this relative, but also to open the middle door wide to welcome her in.But now he didn't want to say anything, he just wanted to bow his head and kiss her.

Gao Xiuer stretched out her hand to block it, and whispered, "Lang Jun, let's blow out the candles first."

Liu Ziqiu said with a smile: "On the wedding night, the candles have to be lit until dawn."

In fact, Liu Ziqiu didn't know these rules, he just liked to see Gao Xiuer's shy appearance.Gao Xiu'er let out a "wow", and no longer resisted.After some passionate kissing, Gao Xiu'er was already as soft as mud, her panting became heavier, and the two embraced and rolled into the quilt...

It was bright daylight, Gao Xiu'er was still lying down, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, her long eyelashes fluttered occasionally, she didn't know what dream she was dreaming.Liu Ziqiu didn't dare to wake her up, so he tiptoed out of bed, and after he got out, he gently closed the door behind him.

At this time, Gao Xiu'er suddenly opened her eyes, and quickly pulled out a piece of white cloth from under the embroidered quilt, on which were dotted with peach blossoms.Seeing that there was no movement outside the door, Gao Xiu'er carefully folded the white cloth and hid it under the pillow.If someone has sharp eyes, they can see that there is another piece of red paper hidden under the pillow.

……

At the west gate of Luoyang, a group of Tiqi galloped past.After a while, there was a burst of laughter in the palace. Yang Guang waved the battle report, his face was full of joy, and he said to himself: "Good! Good! Before my army left, Tie Le came down in anticipation of the wind! Pass the decree and reward Yuwen Describe a thousand pieces of colorful satin, pardon Yu Wenhuaji and Yuwen Zhiji's crimes, promote Yu Wenhuaji to be the general of Youtunwei, and Yu Wenzhiji to be a young prisoner!"
