The amount of food in this son is only half of that of this old guy, and three bowls of wheat rice are already my limit, and I don't want this old man who is over seventy years old to even eat six bowls of rice without the intention of holding up, and he raises the wine cup at me very leisurely. "The old man has never eaten meat, but he loves food, hehe, by the way, come on, and a few more meat dishes, the virtuous nephew can be different from the old man."

Well, the old rascal finally remembered that I was a young man who was growing his body, and let people serve a few plates of meat dishes, a plate of chicken, a plate of fish, and a plate of dried venison. The portion is full and the taste is good, so my son will forgive the old guy for the mistake of making me stare dryly.

"In two days, the old man will go north with the Son of Heaven, and in more than a month, it will be the period of the crown ceremony of the virtuous nephew, but unfortunately the old man is already in the northern Xinjiang, and he can't congratulate him personally.

"Uncle can remember such trivial matters, which really makes Wuji grateful, where will he blame uncle." I hurriedly laughed and said, well, I feel warm in my heart when I say this, this old guy is really good at being a man.

"Alas, this northern expedition to Goguryeo, I'm afraid it will be the last time the old man will conquer the territory. Hehe......" Yang Xiong stroked his snow-white hair and said with emotion. "Rong Ma has been in his seventies all his life, and although the old man is not convinced of his old age, he gradually feels that he can't support it."

Hearing his emotion, I couldn't help but feel a little gloomy, although I don't know when the King of Guande died, but he is a great favor to this son, and I don't want this old guy to fight in the last battle of his life, leaving a bloody stroke of shame, and most importantly, no one knows whether Lu Dao, this time the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, he will die because of Yang Guang's blind command of 205.

Although, without power, without office, without power, I have no way to stop the mistakes of Yang Guang, the emperor, and prevent the fall of the Sui Dynasty. However, why can't I rely on my own ability to try to make my Chinese soldiers sacrifice less and keep more of China's blood and bones?

Although it cannot be said that he can completely influence Yang Guang's decision-making, he is such a weighty royal general, I believe that he will be willing to make some self-sacrifice for the sake of the Great Sui Dynasty.

"Virtuous nephew? Virtuous nephew? "Just when I finally made up my mind, Yang Xiong's voice rang in my ears." Virtuous nephew, you frowned and groaned silently, didn't you encounter something embarrassing? ”

When he raised his head, he saw Yang Xiong's concerned face. "Isn't it the Duan Military Department that came to find you trouble?"

"Thank you uncle for your concern, no, hehe, in fact, what the little nephew thinks is that this time the Son of Heaven is on the Northern Expedition." I gritted my teeth and decided, no matter what, even if I was a small person and could not reverse the victory or defeat of the Northern Expedition to Goguryeo, but after all, I still have to do my part so that I will not regret it in the future.

"Oh, what does the virtuous nephew think, and let the old man hear it." Yang Xiong stroked his beard and smiled, very interested.

"Uncle, in your opinion, why did your majesty come here for the purpose of this battle?" I thought about it for a moment and asked rhetorically. After all, such a big event, doesn't mean that I opened my mouth to tell Yang Xiong that the Son of Heaven is going to have a nervous disorder when he is full, and he can just take an army of one million to die.

In this case, I'm afraid that I will be dropped by this old man who is strong and strong before I finish speaking, so that I can learn a lesson, so, even if it is persuasion and advice, it also needs strategy, and it is best to let the old guy be able to follow the train of thought of this son, and when things really happen, this old man who was reminded by me should react.

I believe that with Yang Xiong's power and his position in the heart of the Son of Heaven, even if the Son of Heaven is unwilling to listen to his words, then it will not be too difficult for this important general of the imperial family.

"The purpose of this battle?" Yang Xiong was slightly stunned, and after a little silence, he said: "Goguryeo, the land of China, but when the Central Plains was in turmoil, Goguryeo invaded and swallowed secretly, and was greedy. Since the founding of our Great Sui Dynasty, Goguryeo has not only not relented, but has even more so attacked the northern frontier of our Great Sui Dynasty many times, and Emperor Gaozu was very dissatisfied, and issued a decree to blame Gao Tang, the king of the plains. 'The breadth of Liaoshui is as wide as the Yangtze River? The people of Goryeo, how many Chen countries? If Teng does not have a childbearing, he will blame the king and order a general, why should he be more powerful'. This Goguryeo side shows convergence. ”

"However, after King Yingyang of Goguryeo succeeded to the throne, he not only swayed left and right between my Great Sui and the Turks, but also united with the Chestnut Mo Jin to attack my Great Sui Jizhou Road. Then, more and more Bengali, Gaozu was deeply angry, in the ninth year of the emperor, Gaozu sent 300,000 troops, divided the water and attacked Goguryeo, unfortunately because of the difficult roads, bad weather, so that the grain and grass were difficult to continue, and Goguryeo was taken by my Great Sui Army, and also sent an envoy to apologize, and Gaozu withdrew the army. However, Goguryeo surrendered on the surface, but it has never served as a tribute or courtesy. ”

"In the third year of the Great Cause, the Son of Heaven toured north to the camp of the Turkic Qimin Khan and met the Goguryeo envoy. The Son of Heaven took Goguryeo as the land of Jizi, and it was my Han land. During the Han and Jin dynasties, they were all counties under the jurisdiction of China. He ordered his envoy to tell the king of Goguryeo, Gao Yuan, to come to the court quickly. I don't want to ignore Gao Yuansu in vain, and deliberately ask the Son of Heaven to ask for it......"

"Well, what my uncle said, Wuji knows that Goguryeo does have a disobedient heart to my Great Sui, but what Wuji wants to ask is the purpose of this war, is the Son of Heaven wants to destroy his country and destroy his society? Or do you just want to give Goguryeo a little education? "Yang Xiong seems to be really good, although he is over seventy years old, or his brain is still quite flexible, and he will explain in detail the intersection between the Great Sui and Goguryeo in the past.

"Hehe, although the Son of Heaven discussed with his ministers about conquering Goguryeo, he never did it, and then, because King Jinpyeong of Silla sent an envoy to the court, Goguryeo not only did not restrain himself, but became more and more domineering, not only invading the territory of my Great Sui, but also conquering my Great Sui subject countries again and again. The Son of Heaven finally made up his mind to conquer Goguryeo in person. Sending millions of teachers naturally wants Goguryeo to know the prestige of my Great Sui, so that the whole world will know that if you commit a crime against my Great Sui, you will be punished. The old man squinted his eyes and stroked his long beard for a long time before he said.

I was dizzy, and it seemed that this old man was not very sure, so he always played dumb with me. "I see, but according to Wuji's view, the prosperity of my Great Sui soldiers is no less than that of the Qin and Han dynasties, and Goguryeo is just a small land, so why do you need a million heroes?"

"I heard that Zhuo County has already stationed millions of soldiers, divided into the left and right twelve road army, so vast, the flag stretches for nearly a thousand miles, it is really the prosperity of the ancient division, and there is no such thing. With such a powerful army, I am afraid that it is necessary for supplies and baggage, and the people and servants driven by it are also astronomical, right? What's more, my Great Sui soldiers are prosperous, but the territory is extremely wide, so I heard that nearly half of the million divisions of the Northern Expedition this time are all new soldiers. ”

To know the Dao, since I knew that I had been in the great cause for eight years, I have been looking for relevant news about Yang Guang's desire to go north, because this is the first time I have deeply felt that a major historical event is happening around me.

Besides, the people who have been in contact with this son are all the sons and daughters of the nobles, and many people's fathers and brothers have to go north with the Son of Heaven, so it is easy to inquire about a lot of things that I didn't know about in the past.

"Hehe, how can the old man not know this, in fact, the old man also thinks that the Son of Heaven sent a million divisions and conquered a small country, which is really a bit too much, the old man has repeatedly asked himself to lead an army to level Goguryeo, but the Son of Heaven likes military affairs, until the destruction of Nan Chen, after the west expedition to Tuguhun, it is difficult for my Great Sui to have a conquest, and the Son of Heaven regrets it. In fact, the Son of Heaven mentioned the conquest of Goguryeo several times, but he was blocked by the ministers who consumed too much national strength, and he didn't want to, so the king of Silla cried and begged, if the Heavenly Master did not come, I am afraid that it was a Silla genus, and it should not exist in the world, so the Son of Heaven conquered with a large army, and no one had any reason to stop it? Yang Xiong shook his head slightly and sighed.
