This time only the Xue Yantuo tribe of the nine surnames of Tie Le invaded the border of the Great Sui Dynasty. It is impossible for their eyes and ears to penetrate as far as Luoyang.Even if Yu Wenshu made a big announcement, it would take five or six days for the news to reach there. It is absolutely impossible for Tie Le to come and ask for surrender in just two days. This is just their usual practice.First grab something, and then win the battle, and if you take advantage of it, you should behave yourself.

However, the four words "watch the wind and surrender" in Yuwenshu's battle report are well written, and it is the credit of Yang Guang's personal conquest that Tie Le asked him to surrender.Historically, it was not until after Yu Wenshu passed away that Yang Guang pardoned Yu Wenhua and his brothers because of his contribution, but now he was so happy that he appointed them ahead of schedule.It was this seemingly insignificant decision that changed the course of history drastically.

Two days later, Yang Xuangan also received good news.Lu Mingyue's entire army was wiped out, except for a few bandit leaders who heard the news and fled.

Lu Da's confession is very detailed, which county is clearly recorded as the head of the bandit and how many bandits he has under his command.As long as Yang Xuangan finds a clue according to the picture, he will naturally be able to catch it.But Yang Xuangan is more aware of Yang Guang's character. Apart from being overjoyed, he is also eager for success.In order to express himself in front of Yang Guang, Yang Xuangan must put down the rebellion as soon as possible.

The Yang family and Lu Mingyue had secretly communicated with each other a long time ago, and before the army set off, they had already disclosed the news to Lu Mingyue.Lu Mingyue reciprocated and even gathered the thieves from all over the place so that Yang Xuangan could "kill them all", but he himself fled with a few confidantes.However, Lu Mingyue also hated the Xie family in Jiangnan because of this.

Almost on the same day, the prisoners of the Wang family in the south of the Yangtze River were also escorted to Luoyang. Yang Wanxiang's "timely" mobilization of the government soldiers was also indispensable to this.

Naturally, Yang Guang was rewarded again, rewarding Yang Xuangan with a thousand pieces of colorful satin, and moved Yang Wanxiang to be a general of Tiger Ben, and he went to the post after a year.Although he is also General Lang, General Ying Yang Lang can only temporarily transfer troops and has no actual military power.But the status of General Hu Benlang is second only to General, and above General Huya Lang, holding heavy troops, far from being comparable to that of General Ying Yanglang.

Yu Wenshu was suppressed by Yang Su all the time, so he naturally didn't want to see the Yang family gain power again.This time supporting Yang Guang Yujia's personal conquest, Yu Wenshu tasted the sweetness.Therefore, he made another proposal to Yang Guang, first explaining the benefits brought to the court after the opening of Tongji Canal and Hangou, praised Yang Guang's great achievements, and then proposed to excavate Yongji Canal directly to Zhuojun.

Sure enough, Yang Guang adopted his opinion, and issued a decree on the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month to enlist more than one million men and women in various counties in Hebei to excavate the Yongji Canal.

Yang Xuangan was not to be outdone, and immediately submitted a proposal, proposing to simultaneously excavate the Jiangnan Canal to Kuaiji County to connect the Yangtze River with the Qiantang River.

Originally, Yang Guang still had some doubts about the simultaneous development of the two major projects.However, the opening of the Jiangnan Canal was beneficial to the Yang family's saltworks in Yuhang, so Yang Xuangan mobilized a group of civil and military officials to speak out.Therefore, Yang Guang issued an order on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month to recruit 30 peasants from the counties in the south of the Yangtze River to dig the canal in the south of the Yangtze River.

Adhering to his usual style, Yang Guang gave only a short period of three months for these two huge tasks.It's winter now, and Jiangnan is better, but the land in Hebei is frozen hard, and the project is very difficult.

The supervisors ignored the sufferings of the people, and if they failed to complete the tasks of the day, they would be whipped. Hundreds of people were beaten to death every day, and countless others died of cold, fatigue, and illness.

Of course, these news did not reach Yang Guang's ears. He sang and danced all day long, drunk and dreaming, and all he heard were praises.

Suddenly one day, the frontier came to report, and Tuyuhun came to invade the frontier again.The Tuyuhun people are descendants of the Xianbei in Liaodong. Like the Turks, they are also nomadic. Whenever winter and spring turn, they will harass the border of the Han people, rob property and plunder slaves.

Yang Guangda was furious, and wanted to go to the imperial conquest.

Now that the Spring Festival is approaching, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty do not want to go on an expedition, and they all persuade them.

Yu Wenshu fought for many years, and knew that this was not the time to use troops, but he knew the consequences of disobeying Yang Guang, so he said: "Your Majesty, Tuyuhun dared to offend us in the Sui Dynasty many times, and he must not be lightly forgiven! I think that the Emperor should be in charge of you!" Personal conquest, it's just..."

Yang Guang said displeased, "Just what?"

Yu Wenshu bowed and said: "It's just that you either don't fight it, or you have to completely destroy it! Therefore, I ask the emperor to gather soldiers in Henan, train them strictly, and send troops to attack them again in the spring of next year. We can guarantee victory!"

It is common for nomadic tribes on the grasslands to attack border areas. Even if the imperial court sent troops to counterattack, they would only be forced to retreat. There had never been a situation in which a nation was completely wiped out. Even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only divided the Xiongnu into two. Just force him to go away.

Although Tuyuhun was not as powerful as the Huns in the Han Dynasty, if they could be completely wiped out, it would be considered an incomparable feat.

After hearing Yu Wenshu's suggestion, Yang Guang felt a little moved, his expression eased a little, and he asked, "What do you think?"

Since Gao Jiong and others were executed by Yang Guang for defaming the court, few people in the court spoke out to advise them.Since this war will not be fought until the beginning of spring, everyone can live a stable year, who is willing to talk too much and make Yang Guang unhappy?

Seeing that everyone had no objection, Yang Guang immediately issued an order to conscript 30 troops, gather in Henan before the New Year, and practice first.This is just a matter for ordinary soldiers and middle- and lower-level officers, and it doesn't need to be affected by the civil and military personnel in the court, so naturally they echoed repeatedly.

……

A heavy snowfall just fell at night, and Changshan Village was covered with a silver-white coat.In the fields, the children were running happily, playing snowball fights and making snowmen, enjoying their own happiness and fashion.Liu Ziqiu had won this day off from Wei Zheng for them.

Gao Xiu'er was wearing a brocade jacket, and was fascinated by the children running all over the ground. After being nourished by the rain and dew, her pretty face became more and more beautiful.Gao Xiu'er's slender hands would caress her abdomen from time to time, as if a little life had already been conceived there.It's only been about ten days, even if she is pregnant with a child, it is impossible for her to change at all, but Gao Xiu'er just can't hide her inner anticipation.

She obeyed Liu Ziqiu's words, but refused to listen to his opinion on this matter.On the day Liu Ziqiu came back from Xie's house, he gave her a set of medicine to be boiled and swallowed, but he didn't say what it was.But whenever Gao Xiuer was free, she would look through the Qianjin prescription left by Sun Simiao, checked it carefully, and found that this medicine turned out to be a discontinued prescription.

The so-called cut-off prescription is actually a contraceptive pill developed by Sun Simiao.Liu Ziqiu happened to see it while proofreading the manuscript, so he paid attention.He knew that Gao Xiu'er was still young, and premature childbirth was prone to dystocia, which was an extremely dangerous thing at the time, so he took this medicine and came back.Gao Xiu'er was full of puzzlement and sadness, but she still endured the decoction and finished the medicine, but when Liu Ziqiu wasn't paying attention, she quietly poured it out and didn't drink it at all.

At this time, shouts came from the snow field in the distance, and more than a dozen carts appeared in sight, and the tall horse in the front was the dusty Liu Ziqiu.

The small village a few miles away was called Fanjiashe. Wei Zheng had asked them for their opinions, but they all said that it was difficult to leave their homeland and they were unwilling to move to Changshan Village.There are 25 families in Fan's house, and the land is pitifully small, so life is naturally extremely difficult.

As Li Zheng, after returning from Xie's house, Liu Ziqiu made a special trip to Fan's house, and found that the villagers there could only eat wild vegetables and grass roots to satisfy their hunger.Now that it's snowing heavily, I'm afraid we won't be able to dig grass roots and wild vegetables.

Therefore, Liu Ziqiu took people to send them pork, white noodles, rice and fresh fish early in the morning, hoping that they would have a good year.Some villagers in Fanjiashe were finally moved by Liu Ziqiu's sincerity, and agreed to move into Changshan Village after the new year.

The greatest wealth of aristocratic families is the large amount of land they control, but it is definitely not limited to land. Their industries have penetrated into almost all aspects of social life.The Wang family is no exception. Their foundation is in Wu County, but other industries are spread all over the counties in the south of the Yangtze River.

This time, the royal family was confiscated by the court for the crime of treason, and the land and various properties were confiscated by the government. The land can be used as official land, but other industries cannot be managed by the government themselves, and will be auctioned publicly soon.

Liu Ziqiu intends to fill the gap left by the fall of the Wang family, but his financial resources are limited, and it is impossible to eat all these properties, so he only chooses the car and horse business.Traveling north and south with chariots and horses, the news is the most well-informed, which is extremely important to him.Even if he had enough money to take over the Wang family's car dealership, Liu Ziqiu still needed enough manpower, which was why he suddenly changed his mind and let Fan's house be merged into Changshan Village.

Seeing Gao Xiu'er standing at the entrance of the village, Liu Ziqiu couldn't help pinching the horse's belly with his legs. The horse gave two "chirps" and ran wildly, leaving the convoy behind.When he got close, Liu Ziqiu stretched out a hand and shouted, "Xiu'er, get on the horse!"

Today, Liu Ziqiu's riding skills have improved by leaps and bounds, of which Gao Xiuer's credit is indispensable, and her riding skills are the best in the entire Changshan Village.Liu Ziqiu solved another important matter, and he was in a good mood. He really wanted to relive the past when the two of them rode together to break through the encirclement a few months ago.

Gao Xiu'er whispered, "Mr. Lang, I want to go back."

In fact, she wanted to protect the little life in her belly who didn't know if she had it, so she would not do such a dangerous action as riding a horse.

Liu Ziqiu chuckled, got off his horse, threw off the rein, the horse was free, ran happily on the snow for a few steps, then buried his head in the snow to pick it up.Liu Ziqiu had already grabbed Gao Xiuer's hand and said, "Let's go home!"

Going home, just two simple words, Gao Xiu'er felt warm in her heart.

Suddenly, the horse raised its head and neighed.Behind the empty convoy, two horses galloped forward, their hoofs stepping on the snow field, splashing snowflakes.

Liu Ziqiu looked back, but it was Er Zhuang and another villager who had been sent to the county government office to serve as government servants.These two horses were sent over by Liu Ziqiu after he came back from Xie's house, just to get news from the county in time.

Er Zhuang also saw Liu Ziqiu and Gao Xiuer standing at the entrance of the village, he couldn't help flicking his horsewhip, and shouted loudly: "Daniu, Da Niu, something serious happened!"
