In the dead of night, a bright moon hung high in the sky over Luo County. Wisps of moonlight filtered through the treetops and scattered the shadows of leaves all over the ground! As soon as Yin Mingyue left the military camp, he and Yihuo Shura Guard walked quickly to the backyard of the government office, following their footsteps.

As it gets closer and further away, the insects in the grass and trees are also chirping intermittently and sometimes extinguishing.

The past few days have not been easy for Yin Mingyue, Li Xiuning, Yang Qinfang, and Lan Xueer, because Lan Xueer's brother and Yang Tong's brother-in-law Qin Zhan brought a group of young men and women who worked tirelessly to come here.

Serving as a soldier in Luo County.

These people have lived in the mountains, and climbing over mountains and cliffs has almost become instinctive; fighting poisonous insects and beasts from time to time is also a part of their lives.

The cruel jungle life ruthlessly eliminates those who cannot adapt to this harsh environment. Most of the men and women who stand out are capable people.

Although the vast mountains also have inexhaustible living resources, their crisis does not come from lack of food, but from the poisonous insects and beasts in the mountains. In order to let their people live a good life, they imitate the Han people in everything, learn farming civilization, and like the Liao people

Wang Sanbu even opened up their own farmland, which is very close to the living habits of the Han people.

It's just that during the hundreds or nearly a thousand years of exchanges between the two sides, the Liao people were always in a position of being oppressed. Even if they submitted to the Han government, they were forced to rebel by local officials and local troops from time to time, allowing them to "set fire to save themselves."

The improper purpose of "supporting bandits to respect themselves" and "suppressing bandits for promotion" has suffered a lot. These officials naturally have extremely strong hostility and vigilance towards the Han regime. But at the same time, due to the harsh environment of their own, they are very yearning for it.

Men farm and women weave, living and working in peace and contentment.

Therefore, when Yuan Tiangang, who was very famous among the Liao people, lobbied and stated various preferential policies, King Qin Wang and many leaders were tempted. However, in order to prevent the Sui Dynasty from reneging on their promises, they married the princess Lan Xueer of the Liao people.

Li Yuanji married the concubines of Emperor Yang Tong of the Han Dynasty. In this way, Li Yuanji had a "same family" relationship with the supreme ruler of the Sui Dynasty. At this time, in order to gain military glory and political capital, Li Yuanji attacked Li Yuanji.

There was a drama of "setting fire to save oneself", which completely forced those officials who were worried about gains and losses into the arms of the Sui Dynasty. They first helped Shen Guang burn Li Yuan's fleet on the Yangtze River, and then participated in various battles.

He worked hard and undertook the mission of surprise attacks, sneak attacks, and spying on military intelligence, and made great contributions to the recovery of southern Yizhou in the Sui Dynasty.

Faced with such a nation that yearned for the Sui Dynasty, Yang Tong naturally would not go back on his word. In order to avoid sudden changes, when officials at all levels in southern Yizhou were in place, they began to move them into some sparsely populated counties. Not only did they divide their fields

, let craftsmen help them build their homes, let old farmers teach them farming skills, and quickly set up township schools and county towns. At the same time, they also sent people to send them food and other scarce necessities of life. And this rich return,

He also received heartfelt help from his colleagues, which shows that the concept of "a scholar will die for his confidant" is not just a Han people's idea.

During this period of time, King Liao Qin Wang and the prestigious tribal leaders have been running around in the mountains and forests. In just one month, Qin Wang and the others successfully persuaded more than 30 villages, large and small, to surrender, allowing Yang Tong to surrender without any effort.

With one move, more than 100,000 people were captured, and Qin Wang and others did not stop because of this, and continued to persuade other villages he knew.

As for Qin Zhan, he was ordered by his father to run to Luo County with a group of young men and women who had made great contributions, not only to accept the reward from the court, but also to formally join the army.

There are many elite soldiers under Yang Tong's command. Needless to say, there are ten major battle legions. The border troops and county soldiers are also selected elite soldiers. However, there are so many elite soldiers, but not many of them can become flying soldiers. They are dizzy.

Secondly, the main reason is that these soldiers are too big, which not only increases the burden on the Flying Shenzhou, but is also limited by the small space of the pod, making their movements extremely inflexible; and the young Liao people who have lived in the mountains for a long time are relatively short and heavy.

It is relatively light, has good body flexibility, sensitivity, and responsiveness, and is very adaptable to the needs of the Feitian Army. Therefore, after they arrived, Yang Tong dumped the young man from the army to Wang Xiongdan, the leader of the Feitian Army. The young woman used

To supplement the number of Shura Guards who are decreasing due to marriage.

When the new recruits arrived, Yin Mingyue, Li Xiuning, Yang Qinfang and others naturally became busy. Fortunately, these three Liao Wangzhai tribes are the Liao people whose living customs are closest to those of the Han people. They also know a little bit of Chinese and can carry out the simplest communication.

In addition, Princess Lan Xueer of the Liao people is fluent in Chinese, and Yuan Ziyan, who abandoned Taoism and became secular, can also speak the language of the Liao people, so there is not much problem in communication. Now the main thing is to teach military rules such as formation, military regulations, etc.

During the running-in period, which was the busiest and most busy period, Yin Mingyue, as the leader of Shura Guard, came back very late every day.

Yin Mingyue hurriedly returned to the quiet courtyard where she lived. When she arrived in front of the living room door, she said to the soldiers: "It's getting late. You should go back and rest. I will go back to my room."

"Here!" The soldier saluted and left. Yin Mingyue adjusted her clothes at the door, and then gently opened the door.

In fact, she knew that Yang Tong was unlikely to be here when she came back so late. Even if he were here, he would probably be asleep. But if there was a possibility, she didn't want her husband to see her less tidy side. As for marching and fighting, that was

Another thing.

The door was opened, and the room was quiet. There were books and books in a bottle, and a sprig of osmanthus inserted diagonally in the bottle filled the room with fragrance.

The lights on the desk were dimmed, and Yin Mingyue gently closed the door. She subconsciously looked behind the screen and found that there was no one there, so she returned to the desk and sat down in dismay.

After being lost for a while, she took off the lampshade and picked out the wick. The dark room became brighter. When she was about to put the lampshade back on, she saw a large emerald green grasshopper with a pointed head lying on the table.

Mingyue pursed her lips and blew a breath. The big grasshopper moved slightly, but did not fly away.

Yin Mingyue put down the lampshade and tapped her fingers on the table a few times. The two filamentous tentacles of the big grasshopper moved, but still refused to move. Yin Mingyue suddenly became interested, carefully opened her hands, and bowed her body.

Prepare to catch this big grasshopper alive.

If the Shura Guard saw that the cold-hearted general looked like this, he would definitely not believe his eyes. But Yin Mingyue didn't think there was anything wrong. He saw the right moment, thrust forward with both palms, and successfully pulled the big

Holding the grasshopper in her hands, Yin Mingyue smiled proudly, but when the smile first appeared, it froze on her face. She suddenly felt that something was wrong with the big grasshopper. She put her hands under the lamp along the table and quietly opened a

After opening the seam slowly and completely, I discovered that it was actually a lifelike grasshopper.

After taking a closer look, a look of understanding flashed through Yin Mingyue's eyes: "My husband has been here, and this is the grasshopper he gave me!"

She smiled sweetly and carefully placed the grasshopper in front of her. It looked cute no matter how she looked at it.

The light casts the bright moon on the window as if it were in love, and the long eyelashes in the silhouette are blinking like a pair of fluttering butterflies, which is so charming.

………………

There is another window in the front yard, and there are more than a dozen clearly visible silhouettes. However, there are two windows in a house, one says heaven, one says hell, one says joy, and one says evil!

"Has Li Shimin behaved recently?" Yang Tong asked with a smile as he looked at the information Ling Jing handed over.

When Li Shimin was still the king of Jin, he either clamored for a decisive battle with the Sui Dynasty with all his strength, or shouted the slogan of "fighting back to Guanzhong". In terms of actions, he also launched many active provocations on the Sui border. He was completely impetuous.

He looks like a militant, but since he established himself in the counties of Danchang and controlled the military, government and finance, he seems to have realized that "firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive", and he has restrained himself a lot. Not only is he no longer impetuous in the past, but he is also

Like Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng whom he had spurned in the past, he was cautious in everything and walked on thin ice. While working hard to rectify the military, he also attracted the various forces and political families that he hated before. The powerful families in Chengdu and the local wealthy families also wanted to recruit people.

If you ask for money, you will give money, and the entire city of Chengdu will be built like an iron barrel.

"In the past few days, the city defense has been handed over to Doulu Kuan and Li Yuan, while I am working hard to rectify the internal situation. I heard that in three days, I will marry a daughter of the Wei family in Guanzhong." Ling Jing couldn't help laughing.

"What a fool!" Yang Tong couldn't help but swore and said in disbelief: "The Tang Dynasty is about to fall, and Wei Shi still married his daughter to Li Shimin. Are you so stupid that your head will be broken by the door, or?

Are you crazy about wanting to be the crown prince’s concubine? Aren’t you afraid that your daughter will become a widow?”

Before Yang Tong's generation, the Wei family was a family that had always had a political marriage relationship with the Yang family. Yang Tong's father, Yang Zhao, was married to the current Empress Dowager Wei, and his uncle Yang Xian's Princess Qi was also the daughter of the Wei family. Princess Qi died.

Later, Yang Jian also stole his wife's sister and secretly gave birth to a daughter.

However, the close relationship between the Yang and Wei families ended when Li Yuan launched an army in Jinyang. At that time, the Empress Dowager Wei and Yang You were in dire straits in Guanzhong. The Empress Dowager Wei visited her family many times and asked for help. Unexpectedly, the Wei family stayed behind closed doors and did not say anything.

To add insult to injury, he served as the vanguard to welcome Li Yuan into the customs. However, June's debt came quickly. After Li Yuan's repeated defeats, the head of the Wei family went to Yecheng and Luoyang many times to ask for an audience with Empress Dowager Wei and Yang You, hoping that mother and son would be together forever.

For the sake of blood relationship, they helped to speak in front of Yang Tong, but this time, Empress Dowager Wei and Yang You used real actions to explain what "today's me, you ignore; tomorrow's me, you can't reach up to".

"Get up." Someone came to thank the guests behind closed doors and refused to see him.

Later, in order to achieve the purpose of killing someone with a borrowed knife, Yang Tong deliberately spread the rumors of reconciliation with the world's aristocratic families. This Weishi was the first Guanlong noble to come to worship him. He wanted to renew his relationship with the Yang family and planned to bring several Weishi women to him.

After sending it to the palace, Yang Tong was very happy. After Yang Tong thanked Bu Min, he turned around and packaged it for Yang You to play with. Even Yang Tong didn't want this kind of gift, and Yang You certainly didn't dare to accept it.

As a result, because he knelt too much, Li Yuan destroyed the main trunk, leaving only a few insignificant side branches. Yang Tong never expected that at this stage, Wei Shi would actually pile his daughter into the fire pit.

"Your Majesty!" Ling Jing said with a strange look on his face: "These two are already widows. It doesn't seem to matter if they become widows again."

"Return two?" Yang Tong was startled for a moment and immediately understood. These should be the Wei sisters in Li Shimin's history.

He remembered that before one of them became Li Shimin's concubine, her first husband was Li Min, the son of Li Zixiong, the general of the Sui Dynasty and the Minister of Household Affairs. However, Li Zixiong later rebelled with Yang Xuangan. After Yang Xuangan was defeated and killed, Li Zixiong's family naturally also

After being cleaned, Concubine Wei returned to her famous family with her daughter, perhaps because of her mother's family.

During Li Tang's war with Wang Shichong, Li Shimin captured Luoyang City. Li Shimin saw the lotus-like Wei sisters in the city - Concubine Wei and Wang Shichong's daughter-in-law Wei Nizi.

Incorporated into the harem. Nowadays, Li Shimin has destroyed Luoyang City and destroyed Wang Shichong's family. Maybe at that time, Li Shimin had obtained the Wei sisters, but now they are just going through the motions.

"That's right!" As Yang Tong expected, only Ling Jing said: "These two sisters, one is Li Zixiong's daughter-in-law, and the other is Wang Shichong's daughter-in-law!"

"Now that we've reached this point, we still have the desire to get married." Yang Tong laughed and said, "This Li Shimin is quite interesting."

Ling Jing said: "It should be because Li Yuan suppressed the Guanlong nobles too hard, causing the government and the public to become divided, so Li Shimin planned to recruit the remaining power for his own use. After all, a life-and-death battle was imminent. If the aristocratic family rebelled at this time, the Tang Dynasty would be

Die faster and more miserably."

"Pseudo-Tang officials and aristocratic families would not be so stupid. They know that if they fight to the end with Li Tang, they will still have a good reputation after death. If they rebel at this time, their fame, fortune and life will be lost in the end." Fang Xuanling shook her head and said:

"I think this is an illusion. Li Shimin is getting married now because he wants us to think so. Of course, it also means to win over and appease the family."

"The huge gap between the Sui and Tang dynasties lies here. Li Shimin dances more joyfully now, and the rope around his neck becomes tighter." Yang Tong sneered: "The pseudo-Tang Dynasty is already exhausted, even those powerful people,

The aristocratic family is willing to be with Li Shimin, but are the ordinary people who are waiting for food under the suppression of the aristocratic family still willing to fight against him? We don't even have to do anything now, we just need to spread the word, and these poor and desperate people will be given to the disaster victims.

, the refugees will turn against me, the Sui Dynasty, without hesitation."

"..." The generals didn't know what to say now, especially Yu Chigong, Wang Fubao, Niu Jinda, Xue Wanche, Yao Junsu, Liu Gang and others. After receiving Yang Tong's order to assemble the generals, they were all in high spirits and gearing up. Then the storm

They traveled all the way and worked tirelessly to get here, preparing for a big battle. Unexpectedly, before they could warm up, the enemy almost fell, leaving them feeling like they were holding their breath and unable to vent their anger.

Looking at Yang Tong, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Ling Jing, who were all so depressed that he almost vomited blood, he smiled bitterly and said: "According to what the Holy One said, we won't do anything? Just sit back and watch.

Don died in civil strife?"

"That's not necessarily the case." Yang Tong's words made the generals breathe a sigh of relief, but then they made Dawu's heart arouse: "It depends on how Li Shimin reacts now. I really want to see what Li Shimin is doing.

What kind of tricks are you playing?"

For the first time, this group of generals suddenly had an urgent hope, hoping that Li Shimin could stand firmer. This was related to the final battle for the unification of the world. It should at least be a decent battle, right?

Although in order to avoid the loss of life as much as possible, it is better to fight as little as possible, but the merits of military commanders are obtained through war. If the puppet Tang Dynasty was captured without bloodshed, it would indeed be the best result for the court, but for the military commanders, it was very difficult.

Uncomfortable.

However, something even more uncomfortable for these generals came again. Yang Tong suddenly said to Ling Jing: "Uncle King Wei sent a letter, saying that an old man wanted to kill Zhang Shigui without bloodshed before Xue Wanjun sent troops to prove that his sword is immortal.
To be continued...
