"Everyone, thank you all for participating in Gouzi's birthday. I, Li Yuan, drink here as a respect!"

Li Yuan drank a cup of hot wine, and his whole body was jubilant and very happy.

In the first month of last year, his wife gave birth to his second son, named Li Shimin, who has just turned one year old, that is, Erxu.

"congratulations!"

"The envoy has just finished his mission to the East Turks, and after returning, his second son is full-year-old. I am really envious."

"The Li family of Longxi will definitely be among the dragons and phoenixes in the future."

All the guests praised Li Yuan one after another.

At this moment, Li Yuan has been promoted by Yang Jian to be the governor of Longzhou because of his meritorious service in the Turkic mission.

He claimed to be from the Li family in Longxi, and his ancestor was Li Guang in the pre-Han period, who was one of the four famous generals of Emperor Wu.

The four famous generals of Emperor Wu, Huo Qubing > Wei Qing > Wang Changzhi > Li Guang.

In terms of political stance, their Li family barely belonged to the Guanlong Group, but they were only marginal families of the Guanlong Group.

What do you mean, does it belong to the Guanlong Group?

If it belongs!

When the guests were drinking, they didn't forget to brag and chat, and they talked about the latest world events.

"Your Majesty's [-] troops marched northward to the Eastern Turks, and Lan Khan, the capital of the Eastern Turks, fled to the north in fright. What a demonstration of our country's prestige!"

"The new ruler of the Eastern Turks, Tuli Khan, actually led the horse for His Majesty in person. I am Da Sui, mighty!"

"Those scholar-bureaucrats in the south of the Yangtze River, who are well-educated, write some eccentric articles every day, scolding us that the Sui Dynasty was militaristic and deviating from civilization. What a bunch of fun!"

"Hmph! His majesty will not forgive them for their rebellion this time. Those talkative scholars in the south of the Yangtze River only use pens to point at Sang and scold Huai. It's time for my mighty teacher of the Sui Dynasty to educate them!"

"However, I heard that the group of scholar-bureaucrats in the south of the Yangtze River has received assistance from Yan State, and Yan State will send troops to help them. This matter is very difficult."

"Yan Guo? Heh! That's someone who only sells his teammates and flirts. The last time we fought against Chen, our soldiers in the Sui Dynasty were nervous. We thought we were going to fight Yan Guo on the river, but we really did. , but I can’t even see a battleship from the Yan Kingdom! Hahahaha!”

"Isn't that right? Just a few months ago, Yan State said it would support Dulan Khan. As a result, when my army of [-] in the Sui Dynasty attacked the Turks in the north, I didn't even see the army of Yan State!"

"I figured it out. This country of Yan is a paper tiger. It only scares people with the glorious achievements of their ancestors every day, and by the way, bribes those rubbish literati to write some disgusting articles criticizing Sanghuai. When they really fight, they are very cowardly!"

"I heard that there are many beauties in the clan of the Yan Kingdom. If the Yan Kingdom is destroyed in the future, they must marry some of them, hahaha!"

All the guests are warriors from the Guanlong Group, and they are very loyal to the Sui Dynasty. At the same time, they are very disgusted with the Guandong gentry and the Jiangnan literati. They feel that those people will only hug the thighs of the Yan Kingdom and write articles about criticizing Sang Huai every day. people.

A few months ago, the Nine Ministers of Yan State did not agree to send troops to intervene in the Turkic war.

But Yan Xu was unwilling to just watch like this, so he fooled his ally Dulan Khan and told Dulan Khan: You are confident and bold to fight Sui to the end, our country Yan will always be your most steadfast friend, Will provide the greatest degree of help at the most critical moment!

Dulan Khan was very moved, and led tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry to the south to fight a decisive battle with the [-] Sui army, and then he was beaten badly.

He asked the Yan State for help, but the Yan State gave various reasons to postpone the dispatch of troops.

Yan Guo has been supporting the Turks, but did not send a single soldier. Instead, the literati in the south of the Yangtze River wrote several articles satirizing Yang Jian, scolding Yang Jian for being militaristic and ignorant of the people's feelings.

This is the same as the last battle against Chen, Yan Guo has always vowed that he will do his best to help Chen Guo, but when the fight really broke out, Yan Guo did not send a single soldier to support.

Yan State provided all but help to the allies.

Dulan Khan died of depression. His son fled to Yan State with some tribesmen, and wanted to settle in Yan State. Turkic, also known as "Swallow Turkic".

After "Yan belonged to Korea", there came out "Yan belonged to Turkic", and Yan State became more and more familiar with helping others restore the country.

After the Turk Khan became the new khan of the Eastern Turks, he had no time to deal with the Yan Turks in the Xianbei Mountains. He was facing a new and powerful enemy, that is, the Western Turks who had returned to the grasslands.

The Western Turks occupy the entire Western Regions and the Kangju Grassland, as well as some Sassanian Persian cities. Their strength is much stronger than that of the Eastern Turks, which were severely damaged after the civil war.

In order to deal with the powerful enemy of the Western Turks, the Turkic Khan of the Eastern Turks chose to bow down to his ally Da Sui, and the Turk Khan personally led the horse for Yang Jian to show his loyalty to the Sui.

Yang Jian asked Tuli Khan to hold back the Western Turks, and then returned to the Central Plains, preparing to deal with the Jiangnan gentry who took advantage of the chaos.

When his [-]-strong army marched north to Lan Khan, the capital of Eastern Turks, the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River thought they had finally waited for the opportunity, and under the fire of Yan State, they directly turned against each other.

They think that they are the noble orthodox Chinese, inherited from the orthodox Jin Dynasty, and think that the Sui Dynasty came from the Xianbei Zhou Kingdom, and the Xianbei Zhou Kingdom came from the Xianbei Wei Kingdom, so the Sui Dynasty came from the Tartars, not the Huaxia orthodox.

"We in Jiangnan are orthodox. How can we join hands with barbarians and Tartars like you in the Sui Dynasty?"

After the Southern Dynasty was annexed by the Sui Dynasty, they had long wanted to rebel, but they never waited for the opportunity.

Now that the emperor of the Sui Dynasty personally attacked the Eastern Turks, isn't this a great opportunity?
What's more, Yan Guo has already stated that it will fully support the Jiangnan gentry in expelling the Tartars and restoring China.

Therefore, they are so confident.

"Our country of Yan will provide all the help we can provide to the noble families in the south of the Yangtze River!"

This is what the envoy of the Yan Kingdom said, making the aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River feel like a spring breeze.

Li Yuan just smiled when he heard what the guests said. At the moment, he doesn't have too much ambition. He just wants to make contributions and let the Li family enter the core circle of Guanlong Group. This is his biggest dream right now.

As for being an emperor?Never even thought about it!

Many things are like this. A person who can become an emperor doesn't have this idea at all when his strength is still very weak. When he becomes stronger, he will naturally have this idea.

Just like King Yan's family, when the family was still weak, even if there was a chance to usurp the throne and become emperor, they would not dare to do it, for fear of arousing public anger and ruining the family.

After hundreds of years of development, the strength of the family has improved, even if there is no chance of becoming emperor, they must try to intervene in the situation in the Central Plains.

This is the fact that the reality determines the thinking, and the material determines the consciousness. When you have no strength, you dare not even think about it, even if you have an opportunity, you dare not touch it.
