Chapter 44: Unification of the Great Sui Dynasty

When I returned to Yuhua Xiaoxie, there had been already been sweeping all over by the chaotic troops.

Xiao Yi was so hungry that he immediately picked up half of the pastry on the ground. He was about to eat it, but someone took it away.

When I looked back, it was Aunt Lan. It turned out that she did not leave, but hid nearby and waited for news from Xiao Yi.

"Brother Yi will eat this!"

Xiao Ya handed over a box of pastries, and Xiao Yi immediately started eating it voraciously.

Knowing that Xiao Jing could not escape, Aunt Lan couldn't help but feel sad and hurriedly comforted Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi is very strong and has long expected the worst outcome.

Aunt Lan had prepared the ferry and asked Xiao Yi to hurry up and take them away in the evening.

Xiao Yi was indeed exhausted and did not bother to change clothes and take a shower after eating, so he fell asleep after falling asleep.

In the evening, Aunt Lan woke Xiao Yi and Xiao Ya up, prepared some food simply. Then she brought some floppy disks and set off.

The three of them had just arrived at the ferry and were about to board the boat, but suddenly they saw a large ship docking.

I saw the big ship very luxurious, with a flag standing at the bow of the ship. The flag was blown up by the river wind. I could clearly see the four seal characters of Wentian Jiange written on it.

A group of young women in the world with square scarves on their heads, wearing snow-white warrior uniforms, holding long swords in their hands emerged from the attic.

I saw them standing in a row along both sides of the dock pontoon bridge, standing solemnly, as if waiting for some big shot to come out.

Soon, the curtain was lifted up again, and a middle-aged woman walked out of it. Her clothes were not much different from other women around her, and they were also white warrior uniforms. The biggest difference was that she wore a phoenix crown and comb on her head, which was obviously a symbol of her status.

As soon as she came out, the other young women immediately carried swords and performed a great gift from the world, and sang loudly, "Please invite the Lord!"

This middle-aged woman was Ning Xuanyan, the leader of Wentian Jian Pavilion, the largest sect in the Central Plains martial arts world, personally conferred by Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian. She was in her forties, but she was looking forward to her young wife who had not been married for a long time. She was quite beautiful, but what was most profound was her pair of phoenix eyes, which were capable and cruel, making people feel a little awe-inspiring.

Aunt Lan's expression changed suddenly when she saw Ning Xuanyan's face and hurriedly turned her back.

Unexpectedly, the boatman saw Aunt Lan calling her to board the ship, but she hurriedly pulled Xiao Yi and Xiao Ya back without looking back.

Ning Xuanyan immediately noticed Aunt Lan's back. She was so familiar that she couldn't help but look tight and shouted, "Zhiruo, why don't you come to pay me a favor when you see me?"

Lan Zhiruo's delicate body trembled violently and she stopped immediately. She knew very well that a master who rarely went out came to Jiangnan in person this time was afraid that it was for her. She felt this way when she let He Ruobi go that day, but she didn't expect that the master would clear the door so quickly.

Thinking of this, Lan Zhiruo immediately said to Xiao Yi: "No matter what happens later, Yi'er will not stop and immediately take Xiao Ya back to Yuhua Xiaoxie."

Xiao Yi thought of the abandoned disciples of Wentian Pavilion mentioned by He Ruobi that day, and immediately worried about Aunt Lan and asked, "Is that woman trying to harm Aunt Lan?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Lan Zhiruo felt her master coming here, worried that the two children would be exposed, so she immediately stretched out her face and said sternly: "Aunt Lan will pick you up later, and quickly take Xiao Ya away."

Seeing that she looked abnormal, Xiao Yi was afraid that if he and Xiao Ya didn't leave, it would affect Aunt Lan, so he immediately pulled Xiao Ya away.

Lan Zhiruo immediately turned around and knelt down and kowtowed, whispering: "Master, hello, old man."

Ning Xuanyan snorted coldly and said, "I haven't been angry yet, I'm finally fine."

Lan Zhiruo knelt down and didn't dare to get up.

A young woman named Bihailian, seventeen or eighteen years old, on the left of Ning Xuanyan, suddenly said happily: "Second Senior Sister, I haven't seen each other for many years, but still remember me?"

Lan Zhiruo looked up and couldn't help but smile and said, "I didn't expect that the younger sister has already grown into a graceful and graceful girl!"

Bi Hailian immediately smiled sweetly and was about to continue asking Lan Zhiruo, but unexpectedly she was interrupted by an older woman named He Minjun on the other side.

"What second senior sister? She is worthy of being just a traitor from Wentian Pavilion!"

Lan Zhiruo immediately said sadly: "What the senior sister said is that Zhiruo committed an unforgivable crime and was not worthy of being a disciple of Wentian Pavilion. Please punish him by the master."

He Minjun snorted coldly, but the Bihailian stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to talk too much.

Ning Xuanyan said lightly: "A teacher is here to clean up the door. She is just thinking about the relationship between master and disciple for many years. She will give you another last chance. You conspire with Yuhua to secretly learn the Tianjian Book, and Jing'er becomes a useless person because of you. Yuhua has passed away and he will no longer care about him. However, Jing'er still misses you, and he is forced to forgive you by dying and seeking forgiveness to you. If you are willing to marry Jing'er, you will assume that nothing has happened! You can return to the master immediately, and among all the disciples, you will have the highest understanding. You can even pass on your robes and bowls."

"How could the master let her go like this? He also wants to pass on her mantle?"

"Minjun, don't talk too much!"

The senior sister He Minjun has been competing with Lan Zhiruo, and she was determined to kill her, but Ning Xuanyan stopped her and couldn't help but stare at Lan Zhiruo viciously.

Lan Zhiruo immediately smiled bitterly and said, "Zhiruo has been taken in by Master Zhiruo since he was a child, and his senior brother took care of him, but he only loved him as his elder brother. He also asked the master to tell his senior brother that Zhiruo has married and become a mother, so please don't waste his youth for Zhiruo!"

As soon as these words came, Ning Xuanyan was immediately angry and embarrassed. Seeing that the opportunity came, He Minjun immediately stirred up the flames and said, "Master, this bitch is insulting the master's sect, so please ask the master to clean up the sect. The disciple just saw that there seemed to be two children leaving around her, and I am afraid that it was her sinful seed that she had stolen someone!"

Ning Xuanyan was already blinded by anger at this time. Jing'er was her biological son. How could she be willing to be so shameless? When she heard He Minjun talk about the two children, she suddenly had murderous intentions.

"Go and catch those two bastards back!"

He Minjun was immediately overjoyed and volunteered to pursue Xiao Yi and Xiao Ya with a few disciples.

Lan Zhiruo was shocked and didn't care about being rude. She immediately stood up and stopped them.

He Minjun was determined to kill Lan Zhiruo and then quickly, and immediately had a murderous intent.

"court death!"

He Minjun swung his sword and stabbed Lan Zhiruo, but she was only scheming on weekdays, but her swordsmanship was not as good as the other party.

Lan Zhiruo avoided her three swords killing moves, and forced her to pull out the soft sword from her waist. However, she just blocked and defended but did not attack.

He Minjun couldn't defeat the opponent for dozens of moves, and suddenly had a vicious plan in his mind. He deliberately made a mistake, causing Lan Zhiruo's soft sword to cut her arm.

He Minjun screamed intentionally, and Ning Xuanyan immediately took action in anger and hit Lan Zhiruo in the chest with a palm.

Ning Xuanyan did not participate in the last martial arts ranking, but was a master at the Tianlist level. The power of this palm was extremely powerful. Lan Zhiruo groaned and a mouthful of blood spurted out of her mouth, and flew backwards dozens of steps away.

Lan Zhiruo was seriously injured, but thinking about the safety of Xiao Yi and Xiao Ya, she hurriedly got up and turned around and ran away.

Ning Xuanyan loved Lan Zhiruo the most on weekdays. She woke up when she saw her vomiting blood, but she did not continue to pursue her.

But He Minjun was unwilling to accept it and was about to lead someone to chase after her. But she heard her master sigh and said, "Don't chase after you! I just used ten successful powers for the master's palm, and Zhiruo's heart veins were broken and she couldn't last until dawn."

He Minjun was immediately overjoyed, but the blue sea lotus was extremely sad.

~~~~~~~

In the Jiankang Grand Agricultural Government Office, the Sui army was counting and packing gold, silver and coins from the Nanchen treasury, and then preparing to transport them back to Daxing.

The treasury of the Southern Chen Dynasty is abundant, unlike the Northern Sui Dynasty who have been in poverty and the treasury of the Northern Sui Dynasty for many years. The first thing Han Qinhu did when he entered Jiankang City was to seal the treasury and the imperial palace treasury. It can be said that he was undoubtedly the most meritorious official in the attack on Chen, so He Ruobi had to stand aside.

It was precisely because of such a stake that He Ruobi was very annoyed by Han Qinhu's attack on Jiankang and was almost eager to fight.

But Han Qinhu was dreaming of being a marquis and ministers, but unexpectedly, his subordinates rushed to report that the gold, silver and coins in the treasury were all fake.

It turned out that a soldier was accidentally tripped during the transportation process, and some of the gold and silver bricks that were spilled out broke. The soldier was surprised to see that the gold and silver bricks looked exactly the same, but there were real bricks inside.

Han Qinhu didn't believe it when he heard this, so he hurried to the treasury to check it himself, and then he found that the gold, silver, money and silk in the entire treasury were actually fake.

Han Qinhu was immediately frightened. Yesterday, he vowed to tell Yang Guang and Gao Ying that his troops had seized the national treasury and the treasury and obtained accumulative amount of tens of millions of money. Yang Guang and Gao Ying immediately praised him and immediately reported that Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian asked for his contribution to Han Qinhu. Now he found that the money was fake. Han Qinhu was stunned and sweated coldly on his back.

This incident immediately alarmed Yang Guang and Gao Ying, and immediately launched an investigation. Only then did I know that Zhang Lin, the chief treasury, stolen all the money in the treasury. Zhang Lin and Zhang Lihua, who was in charge of the treasury, were executed yesterday, but now there is no way to know where the huge sum of money has been transferred.

Yang Guang remembered that Gao Ying was eager to kill Zhang Lihua yesterday, and he hated him to death, so he immediately reported to Yang Jian that Gao Ying was suspected of killing someone to silence him.

Yang Jian naturally trusted Gao Ying too much and did not blame him for it, but the Sui army's plan to conquer the southern expedition was undoubtedly disrupted.

It turned out that in recent years, Yang Jian built a large-scale warship in order to first build north and then south to resist the Turkish plunder in the northern Guangxiong Great Wall, and to attack Chen, Yang Jian dug a canal to build a large-scale warship. At the same time, he forced more than 500,000 troops to attack Chen with a total population of less than 9 million. In addition, the food harvest failure in the north was a year-long drought, and the treasury of the Great Sui Dynasty had long been empty, and the attack on Chen was also a plan to fight and decide quickly.

I thought that the surprise attack on Jiankang to obtain the wealth of the Southern Chen treasury could alleviate the emptiness of the Great Sui treasury and the continued military expenditure problems of the other areas of Nanchen. Now that the huge sum of money has disappeared, Yang Jian had to adjust his combat plan.

Originally planned to pacify the major forces in Nanchen, but now they have to change their strategy of surrendering and accepting rebellion.

Yang Guang and Gao Ying then forced Chen Shubao to forge an edict to persuade other troops in Nanchen. Yang Jian even promised that as long as the officials and generals from all over the South Chen area surrendered to the Great Sui Dynasty, they would not blame everything before, and would not change the existing interests of the major aristocratic families in Nanchen.

At the same time, Gao Ying blocked the news that tens of millions of gold and silk disappeared in the treasury, lying that he had received huge military expenses enough to completely pacify the Southern Chen.

In this way, with the use of both soft and hard work of the Sui army, less than a month later, officials from all over the South and Chen areas successively surrendered.

At this point, Emperor Wen of Sui completed the great unification and successfully ended the chaotic period of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties that had been chaotic for nearly 400 years.

In February 589 AD, as the Lingnan tribes accepted surrender of the Sui Dynasty under the comfort of Lady Xian, marking the end of the melee situation that lasted more than 400 years, the Great Sui Dynasty completed formal unification.

The reason for formal unity is that the Sui army's attack on Chen did not completely break the local rule of the southern aristocratic system. The southern aristocratic families still held their own troops and led the food and salary of the Great Sui Dynasty but became local emperors. This also brought endless hidden dangers to the rule of the Sui Dynasty, resulting in the Sui Dynasty having to send troops south to suppress the rebellion every year after the unification of the Sui Dynasty, and it never stopped until the demise of the Sui Dynasty.
