Chapter 20 Emergency Order

Yang Yuanqing currently lives in the East Courtyard of Yang Mansion, which is a centralized residence for the important sons of the Yang Mansion. The treatment is much better than the original West Outer Courtyard. Each son has an exquisite courtyard with lush trees and flowers blooming. There are about five or six houses in a row of bungalows. According to the convention of the Yang Mansion, each legitimate descendant is also equipped with two maids to serve and a personal servant.

Yang Yuanqing's yard is planted with peaches, plums, apricots and persimmons, each with lush branches and leaves. The house is 80% new. Five rooms were originally the residence of his second uncle Yang Xuanzhao. Xuanzhao moved out after getting married. The yard has been empty for more than ten years and has just been renovated the year before.

This was the arrangement of Yang Xuantǐng, the supervisor of the Yang family. However, Yang Yuanqing did not ask the maid or servant to serve him. He just used his family leave to return to Beijing and would not be able to live long to return to Dali City.

Yang Yuanqing has been back to the capital for nearly ten days. He began to miss his life on the grassland a little, missing his comrades and the boundless grassland, and even the sour horse milk wine he missed.

Yang Yuanqing stood under a lush persimmon tree, slowly pulled out a sharp horizontal knife, threw away the scabbard, stared at the tip of the knife that was flashing with cold light, and suddenly slashed out with a sharp sword. In an instant, the sword light rose everywhere, and the cold front slashed in all directions.

Three years ago, he had already realized Zhang Xutuo's thirteen sword techniques, which could be combined at will, making the sword techniques change in a variety of ways. He no longer had enough experience like when he first fought against Yu Kuluo. He had flaws and had many battles on the battlefield. His rich experience made his sword techniques no longer flawed, making him gradually master the cooperation of distant arrows, long spears and short swords.

A persimmon leaf could not withstand the sharp blade and fell from the tree. The moment when Yang Yuanqing's eyes fell, a cold light slashed by, and the sword was as fast as thunder. An unparalleled force swept the leaves into the blade. Seeing that the leaves were about to be crushed, but at this moment, it seemed as if all things in the world suddenly stopped and even time solidified. Only the soft leaf fell down by the blade, and the leaves were intact.

Yang Yuanqing smiled faintly on his face. After breaking through the stagnant and entering the Breaking Power Period, he had already seen the most exquisite thing about Zhang Xutuo's thirteen sword techniques, that is, the power can be transmitted and received at will, and can change from the most rigid to the most gentle.

At this time, he felt an indescribable loneliness in his heart. No matter how skilled the sword technique was, it was difficult to fill the loneliness and loss in his heart. Although he lived in the Yang Mansion, his heart felt that it was thousands of miles away from the Yang Mansion.

At this moment, a running footsteps came from the door, "Young Master!"

This is the voice of Uncle Liu Er, Yang Yuanqing walked to the door and saw Uncle Liu Er, running from afar, "Uncle Liu Er, what happened?"

"A man is coming from the palace and I'm waiting for you at the door."

Yang Yuanqing was stunned. It was just a little past five o'clock now. What did someone in the palace do for him? He nodded and walked quickly outside the mansion.

Two eunuchs stood outside the mansion. When they saw Yang Yuanqing coming out, they immediately saluted and said, "General Yang, Your Majesty urgently summoned him. Please come to the palace immediately to meet the saint."

Yang Yuanqing knew that his grandfather had not returned overnight, probably something major military and national affairs had happened. He turned over and followed the eunuch to gallop towards Daxing Palace.

It was already a little brighter at this time, and the sky was white. In the imperial study of Yang Guang in Taiye Hall, there were still bright lights. Yang Guang and several important officials, Ji Yu, were not sleeping all night. While discussing emergency military information, there was news that King Yang Liang of Han had raised the flag to rebel.

If Yang Yong was Yang Guang's political enemy, then Han Wang Yang Liang was Yang Guang's military enemy. Han Wang Yang Liang was the youngest son of Emperor Yang Jian of Sui. He was appointed as the chief steward of Bingzhou. His fiefdom was extremely large. He belonged to him to the east of Mount Wu. From Mount Wu to Mount Wu in the west, to Canghai in the east, to the Yellow River in the south, it was under 52 states and commanded hundreds of thousands of troops. Yang Liang's personal soldiers in the palace alone had 50,000 people.

Of course, Yang Liang's jurisdiction was not an independent kingdom. The prefectures and counties under Bingzhou were still under the jurisdiction of the court, but the army was under the command of Yang Liang.

Since the deposed Crown Prince Yang Yong, Yang Jian has begun to cut off the vassals. He has successively cut off the vassals of King Yang Xiu of Shu and King Yang Jun of Qin and imprisoned Yang Xiu, while King Yang Jun of Qin unfortunately died of illness. Just when Yang Jian was about to cut off the vassals of King Yang Liang of Han, he unfortunately had to hand over this tricky matter to Yang Guang.

Yang Guang initially wanted to use a trick to trick Yang Dian back to the capital. When Yang Jian was seriously ill, he sent Qu Tutong to Xiangzhou to summon Yang Liang to Beijing under the name of Yang Jian. Unexpectedly, the news of Yang Jian's death was leaked. Yang Liang refused to return to Beijing, and it was inevitable that he would raise the flag to rebel. Although Yang Liang has not rebelled publicly yet, they must prepare early to avoid being caught off guard by Yang Liang.

In the imperial study, in addition to Yang Guang, there were ministers such as Yang Su, Yuwen Shu, Changyu Yuan, etc., as well as Yang Zhao, King of Jin and Yang Lai, King of Yuzhang.

They negotiated overnight and were really exhausted.

Major matters have been settled. King Yang Zhao of Jin strongly recommended Yang Su as the head coach, while King Yang Lai of Yuzhang advocated Yuwen Shu as the head coach, which once made Yang Guang a little embarrassed.

Although Yuwen Shu, like Yang Su, was also a general of the war in the Sui Dynasty, after repeated consideration, Yang Guang decided to be cautious and be the commander of the more stable and military-capable Yang Su, and was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Bingzhou Road, the ambassador of the pacification of Jizhou Road, Chang Yuchen as the deputy commander, the governor of Xiangzhou, Yuwen Shu as the chief grain manager of the rear army, Yang Su commanded 100,000 Guanzhong troops, and conscripted troops east of the Wushan Mountain, with a total of 200,000 troops to conquer Yang Liang, the King of Han.

Changbiaomi was a little hesitant, "Your Majesty, my eldest son Changyu Xingbu works under the hands of the King of Han. I am worried that he will be restricted by Yang Liang and cannot serve Your Majesty with all his heart."

Yang Guang waved his hand, "Changsun's beloved queen can understand the difficulties of the country and receive the order in the face of danger. Lianhe believes that my beloved queen will not harm the country's righteousness because of her son. We will submit the important tasks of the public, so please do not refuse!"

Seeing that Yang Su had something to say, Yang Guang smiled and said, "Is it because Taifu has something to do with him?"

Yang Su hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, there is no problem with me. I just recommended Yuan Qing to Youzhou by the general. I am a little worried. He is young after all, and I am afraid that he will miss His Majesty's major affairs."

Yang Guang was preparing to recruit Youzhou troops to attack Yang Liang westward, but he received news that Youzhou general manager Nang Kang had a close relationship with Yang Liang. Yang Guang suspected that he and Yang Liang had colluded with him and decided to secretly arrest Huan Kang. The chief clerk recommended Yang Su's grandson Yang Yuanqing to perform this task. Yang Guang had a very good impression of Yang Yuanqing, so he agreed immediately.

Yang Su knew that the brush was quite capable, and he did not object to the capture of the bag, but he was worried that Yang Yuanqing could not command the 30,000 Youzhou troops.

Yang Guang walked a few steps behind his back and Yang Su made it reasonable. Although Yang Yuanqing was good at adapting to changes, he was young after all, and he was not qualified to command the 30,000 troops. Once the Youzhou army was defeated, the situation would be a bit serious.

Yang Guang nodded, "Who is more appropriate for everyone to command the Youzhou army according to the Taifu?"

"The old minister recommends two people, but choose one of them. One is Li Zixiong, the old minister, who is the former governor of Jiangshan. He is now in Luoyang and has a strong command ability..."

Before he finished speaking, Yuwen Shu immediately objected, "Your Majesty, Li Zixiong lacks qualifications and may be difficult to be competent. The old minister recommended Li Jing, the general manager of Daizhou. This man is very skilled in martial arts and has the ability to command the commander is no less than that of an old minister. He will definitely be able to take on this important task."

Yang Guang also came from a commander of the army. He knew very well that the general was in harmony with the general. Although Li Jing, recommended by Yuwen Shu, was a famous general, if he did not cooperate with Yang Su, it would be very likely to lead to defeat. He shook his head and said, "Daizhou is also important. You cannot change the general temporarily. Li Zixiong League also knows him. He has made many outstanding achievements in pacifying Chen, so he commanded the army of Youzhou, and Yang Yuanqing can be his general."

Yang Guang immediately made a decision, "Immediately went to Luoyang to pass on the couplet, and appointed Li Zixiong as the Supreme General and the Governor of Lanzhou, and ordered him to rush to Youzhou immediately."

Yuwen Shu was just a supporting role tonight. He wanted to compete for the head coach with Yang Su. If he failed, he recommended the confidant general Li Jing, but he still failed. Even Yang Su's other son Yang Yuanqing was given a heavy responsibility, which made him very frustrated. He has always been Yang Guang's confidant. After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he yearned to become the number one minister of the Sui Dynasty and surpass Yang Su. Now he finally understood that no matter how popular he was by Yang Guang, he could not surpass Yang Su, the deep-rooted old tree. He sighed in his heart and could only continue to endure it.

At this time, a eunuch reported at the door, "Report to Your Majesty, General Yang Yuanqing has arrived."

Yang Guang immediately smiled and said, "Let him come in!"

After a moment, Yang Yuanqing walked in quickly. He was wearing a military uniform and knelt down on one knee to salute, "Yang Yuanqing, the garrison of Dali City in Fengzhou, met His Majesty the Emperor."

Yang Guang narrowed his eyes. The boy was slid quickly. He disappeared from Renshou Palace. He wanted to make a joke, but in front of the important officials, he had to maintain the majesty of the emperor.

"General Yang is exempted from courtesy."

Thank you Your Majesty!”

Yang Yuanqing stood up and saluted several important officials, "See all the ministers."

He smiled and said, "Yuanqing, I recommend you to Your Majesty. There is a difficult task."

Yang Yuanqing said without hesitation: "I will never refuse to die!"

Even Yuwen Shu couldn't help but nod. Not to mention whether Yang Yuanqing's ability was good, but his attitude was good, decisive and firm, and powerful. No wonder Yang Su said that he was the best among the generations, which was indeed a bit famous.

Yang Guang also admired Yang Yuanqing's attitude, so he smiled and said, "You go to Youzhou and arrest Dou Kang, the general manager of Youzhou for the Union, but you cannot hurt his life. After arresting this person, Li Zixiong will take charge of the Youzhou army. You can be a general."

"I understand, how many troops can I lead?"

Yang Guang shook his head, "No soldier is allowed to take him. You can go there alone. The couple will give you five hundred taels of gold. You can recruit troops on the spot and set off after dawn."

After leaving the palace, Yang Su was a little exhausted. She sat in the carriage and closed her eyes to rest. Yang Yuanqing looked out the window silently, but was thinking about his task in his mind. He didn't know whether to thank Changfu or scold him. Changbomin knew that he was here for vacation in the capital, but he pushed this difficult task to him without taking a soldier. He asked him to arrest the Youzhou general manager, who was very skilled in martial arts and brave and good at fighting, forced him to smile bitterly.

At this time, Yang Su in front of him smiled slightly, "What, I only know now that it is difficult?"

"Grandfather, did I not report my military merits in Lake Harry?" Yang Yuanqing thought of another thing. His military merits in killing Datou at Harry have not been reported at all.

"The military master of Lake Harry already knows it. He told me about this yesterday and asked me how I reward you. I have turned it down for you?"

"Why?" Yang Yuanqing quietly.

"The trees are fascinated by the forest, and the wind will destroy them. You are still just a young tree. Now you need to have deep roots, not taller. Yuanqing, you are the pearl hidden in the sand by my grandfather. My grandfather doesn't want you to shine too early, including this Youzhou mission, I will also shirk you for you, but I can't shirk you, which makes me worry!"

Yang Su sighed long, his eyes full of worry. His family's popularity is too strong, and it is definitely not a good thing. He is so powerful that he will shock the Lord!

Yang Yuanqing was silent for a moment and said, "I can understand my grandfather's thoughts. I don't care, but what should my subordinates do? If you don't reward me for your contributions, how can I lead the future? Have my grandfather considered it?"

"I know this, I've considered it!"

Yang Su said lightly: "Now you have a farm in your name, which is a normal distribution for the family. You can sell it and reward the meritorious soldiers and the pensions of the dead. I know that you knocked He Ruobi for 500 taels of gold, so I don't care about this.

After pausing, Yang Su said slowly: "Remember, you only know that this matter is your own business. It has nothing to do with me. When the Lord asks about it in the future, you will say that."

Yang Yuanqing nodded silently. He could understand that he was just a small officer. It was not a big problem to reward the army, but his grandfather was different. He knew very well in his heart.

Seeing that he could accept his painstaking efforts, Yang Su couldn't help but nodded secretly. The child could teach him, and his grandson was very skilled in martial arts. At most, he was just a talent, but to become a handsome talent, he had to understand some taboos and rules. Yuan Qing did not disappoint him. Of course, these things would not be born to be able to learn from one example and apply it to others... A clear point is the talent.

"Do you have any other problems?" Yang Su smiled slightly.

"Baozi has another question. What should I do when I have this Youzhou mission?"

"You'd better go, I'll send the Eighteen Iron Shadow Cavalry to follow you and let them help you, but you have to remember two points: Dou Kang's mother is the sister of the late emperor, that is, Princess An Chengchang. Dou Kang is actually the cousin of the emperor, and you must not hurt his life: Secondly, the emperor does not allow you to lead troops because you have to pass through the land controlled by the Han King. You must not show off and let the Han King discover your intentions."

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "I remember my grandson."

At this time, Yang Yuanqing suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "Grandfather, this time the King of Han in the East, give my master a chance!"

"Is Zhang Xutuo?" Yang Su narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Yes, I will ask someone to ask him to come back to help me tomorrow."
