Fenglingdu has been the chokepoint between Hedong, Henan and Guanzhong since ancient times, and it is a battleground for military strategists. The ancient battlefield between Wei and Qin was here. Cao Cao in the Eastern Han Dynasty defeated Han Sui and Ma Chao, and Yuwen Tai in the Western Wei Dynasty defeated

Famous battles such as the Gao Huan War all took place in Fenglingdu.

On June 22nd, thousands of sails were racing at Fenglingdu, and hundreds of boats were vying for the current. Boats of all sizes filled the wide river! On the boats were four million stones of grain and one and a half million yuan that Li Tang had exchanged for prisoners.

Two gold!

On the shore! is the Sui Dynasty's 60,000-strong army with astonishing momentum. They are arranged in twelve square formations, like mountains and forests, stretching for several miles. A terrible murderous aura permeates the sky and the earth. A huge red flag dances in the strong wind.

The dazzling word "Sui" carries an astonishing power.

Li Jing, Pei Renji, Yao Junsu, Pei Xingyan, Niu Jinda, Su Dingfang, Xue Wanjun, Xue Wanche, and Xue Wanbei were all listed, and the background of the terrifying second-generation Zhongqing generals in the north was revealed.

A hill three or four miles away, different from the bustle of the ferry

Lush and lush, ancient pines, cypresses, ginkgo and green willows are everywhere, and the distant and lively chirping of birds makes you feel like you are in a paradise, uncontaminated by the world.

This tall and graceful hill is named Fengling Mountain because of the sacred temple of Nuwa. According to historical records, Nuwa’s surname was Feng, so Nuwa’s mausoleum is also called Fengling. There is Nuwa’s tomb on Fengling Mountain, and

A newly built Nuwa Temple near the mountain.

On a three-story wooden building, Li Jiancheng and Yang Tong sat opposite each other and drank!

Next to Yang Tong is Shui Tianji, and next to Li Jiancheng is the androgynous beauty Li Xiuning!

Luo Shixin was sent outside to chat with Li Jiancheng's bodyguard Feng Li. If he really took action, the loser would undoubtedly be Li Jiancheng. Yang Tong captured Li Jiancheng in minutes.

Li Jiancheng had a smile on his face, was gentle and elegant, and looked like a sincere gentleman, but there was a trace of tiredness on his face. I guess Li Tang was having a very difficult time.

"The world is in a state of flux. I didn't expect to see you as an enemy again!"

After drinking a few drinks, Yang Tong looked at Li Jiancheng with some emotion. The jade gentleman in front of him was by no means as unworthy as ever. In terms of character alone, he was more than a hundred times better than the extremely utilitarian Li Shimin. His failure was just

Just follow the four words "successful king and defeated bandit".

"It's true!" What could Li Jiancheng say? Speaking of which, it was the Li family who couldn't stand up to the old Yang family.

Yang Tong smiled and said: "In the peaceful times, we might be able to be friends, but not now. To be honest, I really hope to be friends with you."

Li Jiancheng asked curiously: "Why?"

Yang Tong said: "A gentleman can be bullied!"

Li Jiancheng smiled bitterly: "Is His Highness King Qin always so independent?"

"Maybe!" Yang Tong looked deeply and said: "To be honest, I don't want to take up the banner of reviving the Sui Dynasty at all. My ambition is actually to be an idle Xiaoyao King... rather than immersing myself in endless tasks.

In military and political affairs, I am not a scheming person...it is too tiring."

Li Xiuning said: "Since you don't want to be so tired, why not let it go? I am very welcome in Datang."

Yang Tong glanced at her indifferently, and said with a teasing smile: "If you let go, my family and I will definitely die, and the civil servants and generals who follow me will also be brutally purged. Do you think I can let it go? Once you step on the road,

On the road to hegemony, if you don't succeed, you will become a ghost. This has been the case since ancient times."

After Li Jiancheng heard this, he remained silent. What Yang Tong said was cruel, but Li Jiancheng knew this was true. His father could not tolerate Yang Tong at all. Yang Tong was the leader of the Yang family and the backbone of the loyal ministers of the Sui Dynasty.

What's more important is that he is too evil, and he is a threat to any force!

"I'll tell you the truth!" Yang Tong smiled and said, "When Wagang's army came to the city, I almost cried in fear. My first thought was to take away the wealth of Ziwei Palace, take my mother and daughter-in-law to escape into the deep mountains and old forests, and wait for the world.

Taiping, come out and be a rich man again!"

Shuitianji chuckled and said, "Then why doesn't your husband run away?"

Li Xiuning couldn't help but glance at Shui Tianji, frowned, and glanced at Yang Tong coldly.

"There's no way to escape!" Yang Tong was speechless and said, "On that special day, there are a large number of guards following me to protect me every day. How do you think I can escape?"

"What happened next?" Shui Tianji asked with interest.

"Later?" Yang Tong said with a wry smile: "I still had 30,000 Xiaoguo troops as bodyguards at that time. I thought at that time, I would give these 30,000 troops a try. If I lost, I could escape in a high-sounding way.

…I didn’t expect to win…”

"At that time, the battle was one after another, and I had no time to think about escaping! After killing hundreds of thousands of Wagang troops, I realized that I was so good at fighting... and I also realized that those famous figures in the world were not that strong. In this case,

Why should I run away? I kept getting beaten and beaten, and it ended up like this!"

The anticipation in Shui Tianji's eyes slowly froze, and immediately revealed a look of disbelief!

Li Xiuning's almond-shaped eyes were also wide open, with an expression that seemed shocked and speechless. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

Li Jiancheng was also dumbfounded, "The times make heroes, that's all."

Yang Tong poured a glass of wine on the ground and said solemnly: "This glass of wine, I would like to honor Zhai as the master."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and looked at Yang Tong stupidly, their heads filled with doubts.

"Why do you have to respect Zhai?" Li Jiancheng frowned slightly. He suddenly realized that Yang Tong's behavior was really weird, and he couldn't see through it at all.

"If it weren't for the hard work of Mr. Zhai, I, Yang Tong, would never be where I am today. So, I want to thank him, thank him from the bottom of my heart!"

What he said was very resonant and heart-wrenching.

Li Jiancheng looked at Yang Tong with eyes full of respect.

"This cup!" Yang Tong poured another cup and said: "This is to honor Gao Shida, Zhang Jincheng, Lu Mingyue and other heroes. If they hadn't beaten away the Fan Yang Lu family, Boling Cui family, Qinghe Cui family,

The Li family of Zhaojun, the Gao family of Bohai and other aristocratic families and noble families... It is impossible for me, Yang Dong, to implement a series of new policies so successfully. It is precisely because of the lack of noble families and noble families that Jizhou recovered so quickly.

My most precious breathing time gave me time to train grassroots officials... The great success of various new policies in Jizhou enabled me to boldly promote Bingzhou without any worries. From then on, I did not have to worry about resettling the rear.

And worry! So, I want to thank them, sincerely thank them for clearing all the resistance to reform for me."

Thank you!

Li Jiancheng's heart was heavy. He knew that what Yang Tong said was absolutely correct. The people of Bingzhou had already heard about the success of various new policies that benefited the people in Jizhou and Youzhou, and there was no resistance at all when they were promoted!

Yang Tong, who is united and has no internal worries, can boldly explore new territories with confidence.

And what about Guanzhong?

It is the base camp of Guanlong dignitaries. Many Guandong nobles and Jiangnan nobles have also settled in Guanzhong. These people dislike each other and despise Liu Wenjing, Liu Hongji, Warrior Xun, Liu Shilong, Zhao Wenke, Zhang Pinggao, Li Sixing, Li Gaoqian,

Xu Shixu, Guo Xiaoke and other reckless heroes will have big problems sooner or later!
