Yang Guang knew that Gao Ying urged him to leave Beijing and go south as soon as possible out of good intentions, so he said gratefully: "Just follow Dugu Gong." Dugu Gong, I invited you here today because I want to hear your opinions on this war before leaving Beijing, so that I can have a good idea in my heart in advance. ”

Gao Ying smiled slightly and replied: "When Lord Cheng asked, he was clumsy." According to the emperor's strategy of raising the three-way army to attack Chen, the two armies led by the King of Qin and Yang Chudao actually cooperated with the action of the East Road Army, which can be seen from the emperor's edict that the King of Qin and Yang Chudao were controlled by the prince, and there is no need to say anything about it. The Eastern Route Army is responsible for the main attack of Chen, and it is very important to transfer troops and generals. As far as a certain person knows, the East Road army has as many as 250,000 troops, but most of them are troops from Hebei and other places who went south, and they are more familiar with horse infantry warfare and chariot warfare, but they are not familiar with water warfare.

Although the troops under the command of He Ruobi, the governor of Wuzhou, and Han Baohu, the governor of Luzhou, were only 30,000 or 40,000 people, the two of them led the army to confront Nanchen since the first year of the emperor, and they were extremely familiar with the tactics of the Nanchen land and water armies. ”

Speaking of this, Gao Ying changed her words and said: "However, as expected, in the next two or three days, Nan Chen's envoys will arrive in Chang'an. When Chen Shubao heard the news that my Great Sui sent a million-strong army to attack Chen, most of them would have sent envoys to ask for peace first. I thought that the prince had to give Chen Weiyi before the envoys of Nanchen arrived in Chang'an, leave Beijing and go south, and force him to promise to cut off the land north of the river to me to the Great Sui, so as to facilitate the future battle of crossing the river. ”

"My father has issued an edict to count Chen Shubao's 20 major sins, and ordered to copy 30,000 copies of Chen's edict and distribute it along the river. Yang Guang's eyes widened and he asked in disbelief.

"Although the whole territory of Southern Chen is less than three percent of my Great Sui territory, but in the end of Emperor Chen Xuan, he has always maintained an offensive posture against the Northern Dynasty, since Chen Shubao succeeded to the throne, he has been extravagant, and the government has been abolished. This is also the main reason why my Great Sui will win this attack on Chen and die in Nan Chen. Gao Ying sighed and said to Yang Guang.

Yang Guang heard Gao Ying say that Chen Shubao was so unbearable, and thought to himself: Guan Zi is in the east, west, north and south, in order to prevent the imperial court from raising troops to attack Chen, it can be said that he has done everything he can, and he has tried all his tricks, he must also know that Chen Shubao is cowardly and mediocre so exhausted.

After Gao Ying explained to Yang Guang in detail the strategy of using troops for this expedition, because there was still urgent official business to be done in the province, he got up first and resigned to Yang Advertising.

Personally sent Gao Ying out of the house and returned to the main hall, Yang Guang raised his eyes and saw that Zhang Heng looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, so he asked him: "Why, you haven't handed over the messenger at hand with Yang Yue, do you want to leave too?" ”

Zhang Heng shook his head and replied: "It has been nearly a year since Xia Guan followed the prince to investigate the case of Nan Chen, and now he is about to leave Beijing and go south with the prince, and I have a few words in my heart, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

When Yang Guang heard him mention the case of investigating Nan Chen's fine work, his eyes flashed, and then he said: "If you have anything to say, you just say it." In front of me, do you need to spit out like this? ”

Zhang Heng bowed his hand to Yang Guangyi, and said with a straight face: "Previously, because the prince had said something first, the specific circumstances of the investigation of Nan Chen's fine case must not be disclosed to others without authorization. Now that the lower officials are about to leave Beijing, there are really some doubts about this case that have not been solved in their hearts, and because it is difficult to explain and understand to their successors, they are thinking of reminding the prince a little before the prince leaves Beijing, so as to fulfill his duties. ”

"Oh? You are saying that there are still doubts in the process of investigating the 'Goose's Nest', and let's talk about it. Yang Guang's expression became solemn, and he stared at Zhang Heng and ordered.

"Ever since Mrs. Xin revealed to the prince a few months ago that Gao Liansheng was Guan Zizai, and then seized the list of personnel from the mansion and captured as many as 5,000 Nanchen Xizuo, Xia Guan has often wondered if all this happened too suddenly and too smoothly.

Guan Zizai carefully pretended to be the uncle of the Goguryeo king, Gao Liansheng, who lurked in Chang'an for many years, during which he killed people and killed people, rebelled on the side, and assassinated the Turkic Khan, which can be said to be taking the lead step by step, never missing a hand, showing his feet, like such a scheming person, how can he rest assured to leave his mind such a person who knows his bottom in Chang'an City? It's a bit different from his usual style.

Moreover, although through the denunciation of the heart, the distribution map of the personnel of the 'Wild Goose's Nest' in various places was discovered, and most of the people of the 'Wild Goose's Nest were wiped out according to the map, but Gao Liansheng, who was deliberately pointed out as Guan Zizai, fled to Liaodong, and there is no news that he has been arrested and brought to justice, so how can it be confirmed that what the heart said is true? ”

"Jianping, do you suspect that the intention is a fake defection? However, according to the clues she provided, the imperial court did capture more than 5,000 Nanchen Xizuo and beheaded all of them. I've never encountered such a fake defection. Even if you tell me now that your mind is about herself, I believe that she will never have the courage and courage to resort to such a bitter plan. Yang Guang immediately raised a strong refutation and question of Zhang Heng's statement.

"As the prince said, this is also the most perplexing part of Xia Guan's heart." Zhang Heng seemed to expect Yang Guang to react like this, and continued calmly, "But it is precisely because of such confusion in the heart of Xia Guan that after learning that he was about to step down from Gyeonggi, he repeatedly recalled what had happened to Xinyi in the past year, and as a result, he really found some new and difficult points, so he specially reminded the prince when he was about to leave office, and he must not relax his monitoring of Xinyi." Does the prince still remember that as early as before Xia Guan returned to Chang'an with the prince from Bingzhou, Zhang Xutuo initially found clues from his intended brother Gu Sheng that he colluded with Pang Xun to embezzle and accept huge kickbacks, which led to a series of incidents thereafter. Was this purely a coincidence, or was it intentionally instigated by Gu Sheng to draw Zhang Xutuo's attention from her to Xinyi? ”

When Yang Guang heard this, the expression on his face had condensed into frost, and there was no longer a trace of a smile. 7410
