Changsun Sheng took a step forward, hugged his fists and replied: "Your Majesty, two days ago, the imperial servant Qing Yuanhui sent an envoy back to Beijing from Datou Khan, and reported to His Majesty, saying that although Datou Khan did not clearly state that he was not an enemy of our Great Sui, he gladly accepted the wolf's head given to him by His Majesty, which at least shows that Datou has the ambition to dominate the Turkic tribes and is not willing to be only the fourth Khan of the Turks. Pen "Fun" www.biquge.info In addition, as the fifth Turkic Khan and the brother of Sha Bolu Khan, he is still in Chang'an, and if he wants to invade the northern states and counties of our country, first, he will not go deep alone, and second, he will not take into account the life and death of Luo Yu, according to these two points, the minister agrees with Gao Fu's opinion, and thinks that the sudden attack on Linyu Pass is to give my court a dismount, cooperate with the trip to Chang'an, and try to force our court to submit to it. In today's plan, Your Majesty has announced to the Chinese and foreign governments and the opposition at yesterday's great court meeting the great plan to defeat Chen, and now that the battle against Chen in the south is the most important, in the north, according to the minister's last sight, it is better to quickly send Luo Yu back to the Turks, and ask him to convey to his brother the intention of our Great Sui to live in peace with the Turks, so as to delay the frontal conflict with the Turks as much as possible, and after the victory of the battle against Chen, the Turks will not risk raising troops on a large scale because of our strong military might. Shu Ji can save our court from the crisis of fighting on both the north and the south. ”

"Do you want me to show weakness to the Turks in exchange for the other side to take the initiative to withdraw from the army?" Yang Jian's face became gloomy, and he asked in an unkind tone.

Yang Guang didn't think much of what Gao Ying and Changsun Sheng said, and immediately clasped his fists and said: "As the saying goes: When two armies fight, don't kill them. The sons asked their father to ask the emperor to leave Chang'an with the father and son, go out of the town and merge the state, lead the three armies, recover Linyu Pass, and drive the Turks out of the Great Wall. ”

"Good boy, there's a kind." Without waiting for Yang Jian to respond, Yang Shuang immediately praised, "Sixth Uncle will go with you, please ask the imperial brother to give an order." ”

Yang Jian was very satisfied with the attitude of his brother and son, stretched his eyebrows, and was about to pass on the decree, when he saw Gao Ying take out a letter from the sleeve of his robe, present it to himself, and said: "This is a secret letter received by the minister last night, and He Ruobi, the governor of Wuzhou, forwarded it to the emperor, please take a look at it." ”

Yang Jian didn't look at it, and snorted lightly in his nose: "He Ruobi has something to play, there are no irrelevant people in the hall today, Dugu, you might as well tell it directly." ”

Gao Ying turned a blind eye to Yang Jian's dissatisfaction, and said slowly: "He Ruobi reported a good news to His Majesty in this secret letter: Pei Yun, the general of the Southern Chen Zhige, secretly wrote to He Ruobi not long ago, claiming that because his father was in the north, he was willing to serve my Great Sui and serve my court. ”

"Isn't that great?" Yang Jian relaxed his tone slightly, looked at Gao Ying, and replied, "You can reply to He Ruobi in the name of Shangshu Zuo's servant, and ask him to reply to Pei Yun, saying that I have raised an army of 80,000 to attack Chen, and ordered him to deliver the news of the Southern Chen Dynasty at any time, and as soon as our army enters Jiankang, I will reward him heavily and complete the reunion of his father and son." ”

"Your Majesty, Pei Yun also mentioned a very important situation in this letter." Gao Ying hesitated and looked at the people in the hall, wanting to say but stopped.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Yes. According to Pei Yunbao, Nan Chen has been committed to the great cause of the unification of the Northern Expedition since Chen Shili ascended the throne, and a few years ago Chen Shili ordered the crown prince Chen Shubao to take the lead and set up an agency dedicated to investigating the political and military situation in Jiangbei, called Yanchao. All the people in the wild goose's nest are controlled by Chen Shubao, and they are divided into the prefectures and counties of Jiangbei, acting as the spies of Southern Chen, and inquiring about news in many ways, which is really a hidden army that cannot be underestimated. In particular, Pei Yun discovered that the deputy leader of the Yanchao had infiltrated Chang'an City to ambush him shortly after the establishment of the Yanchao, and had transmitted a lot of information to the Nanchen court over the years, which was extremely harmful to our court. If the minister's material is good, Master Huizhen died at the hands of this person some time ago. ”

"Oh?" Gao Ying's words obviously aroused Yang Jian's great interest, "Did Pei Yun mention in the letter who is the surname of the deputy leader of the wild goose's nest, and what is his identity in Chang'an City now?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Pei Yun only mentioned that Chen Shili, the deputy leader of the wild goose's nest, Chen Shubao, father and son, usually call him Guan Zizai, as for Guan Zizai's real name or pseudonym, and what his identity is in Chang'an City now, I don't know anything." Gao Ying paused for a moment and continued to persuade Yang Jiandao, "The minister explained this matter to the emperor to remind the emperor that there is still peace in Chang'an City, and there are Nan Chen's spies lurking and hiding, ready to make waves at any time, and ask the emperor to make a prudent decision." ”

"Well, I know what you mean. However, the Turkic picture is so deceitful to me, I will never show weakness to him, and must return the color. Yang Jian said, stood up, and said resolutely, "Ah Zong is young, so he won't be busy going out of town first." Mingda, I will immediately appoint you as the marshal of the march, unify and control the armies of Hebei and Hedong, and be sure to recover Linyu Pass and drive the Turks back to the north of the Great Wall. ”

"The younger brother obeys the holy command." Yang Shuang replied loudly.

"Dugu, you can leave Beijing today and immediately rush to Jiangling to supervise the battle, and at the same time, spread my words to He Ruobi in Wuzhou and Han Baohu in Luzhou, asking them to actively cooperate with the actions of the army and harass the Nanchen army in the lower reaches of the river, so that it cannot reinforce Jiangling." Yang Jian saw that Gao Ying still had a look of wanting to speak and stopped, he groaned slightly, turned around and instructed the crown prince Yang Yong, "After Mingda goes north, the post of Yongzhou pastor he leads will be temporarily taken by you, and the head of the Nanchen bandit will be checked freely, and you will also be in charge of the general, so you must find out the disguised identity of this person in Chang'an City as soon as possible, and eliminate his party as soon as possible." ”

Yang Yong replied respectfully.

"As for the Turkic envoys, Luo Yu's father and son." Yang Jian turned to Changsun Sheng and Yang Guangdao, "You can let them go back to Turkic, and the specific matters will be handled by the two of you and Yousi." But I must convey my will to them, and ask them to go back and tell them to take pictures, and do not mistake me for being weak and deceitful. ”

Yang Guang pricked up his ears and listened for a long time, and more than half of his father had been handed over to the sixth uncle Yang Shuang, seeing that his hope of leaving the town and merging the state was about to come to naught overnight, he was frustrated and unwilling, and was thinking about how to fight for an opportunity to go to the state at the same time as Yang Shuang, when he heard a clear voice from outside the hall: "Minister Yang Su asked to see my emperor long live." ”

Hearing that Yang Su had signed up to see him outside the hall, the corners of Yang Jian's mouth flashed with a smile that was not easy to be noticed by others, and he turned around and sat back in the throne, raising his voice and shouting outside the hall: "Pass." (To be continued.) )
