The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 790
Pei Xingyan, Wang Fubao, and Niu Jinda left. Yang Tong soaked his feet for a while, the heat rose, and the alcohol broke out. He felt his stomach was overwhelmed. Ten steps away, as soon as the cold night wind blew, he couldn't bear it any longer, and hugged a 'pillar' while the Shura guards were stunned... vomit... vomit...

After a long time, he let out a long breath, his stomach became empty, and he felt much more comfortable. He suddenly felt that the pillar was soft, and he took advantage of the situation to glance, and his dazed eyes suddenly opened wide——

'Pillar' is actually a person
Yang Qinfang's good sister - Zheng Liwan.

Yang Tong glanced at her eyes, the little girl's big black and white eyes were wide open, like a pair of eyes shrouded in a hazy mist above a deep pool, full of horror.Taking a closer look, Yang Tong realized that from the collar down, his whole body was covered with vomited things, as embarrassing as it could be, as disgusting as it could be...

Zheng Liwan seemed to be stupid too, she was leading a team of Asura Guards to patrol the door, when she saw Yang Tong rushing out barefoot, she thought that something serious had happened, and hurriedly led the Asura Guards to protect her.

She never expected Yang Tong to hug her. She had never been hugged by a man before. At this time, Yang Tong grabbed her slender waist inexplicably, and two red clouds appeared on her pretty face. Jumping up suddenly, and then being smoked by the soaring alcohol, the whole person was dizzy... Before she could react, she just felt a hot thing coming down from the neckline, chest, and slender waist. It dripped down from between the legs... After being so stupid for a long while, I screamed...

Hearing the movement, Yin Mingyue almost died of laughter.Li Youwei even hugged her stomach and laughed loudly: "Hahaha...Xiaowan, the Yellow River is next to the camp..."

Zheng Liwan finally understood what was being poured into her body, but she felt a convulsion in her entire stomach, overwhelming... There was another scream... and she ran towards the Yellow River as if flying.

"Xiaowan jumped into the river. Yaoyao, take someone with you, don't let her have any accidents. Youwei, you give her clothes..." Yin Mingyue was afraid that Zheng Liwan would have an accident, so she hurriedly ordered.

"Ha ha……"

Yaoyao and Li Youwei were overjoyed, so they split up.

Yin Mingyue angrily and funnyly said to Yang Tong who was more awake, "My Emperor Shengwu, don't you have a footbath under your feet? Why did you run out and vomit all over him..."

"It's caused by habit problems..." Yang Tong smiled coyly.

accounted for.

After a simple wash, I drank a sip of hot tea happily!

Yin Mingyue changed her clothes and walked towards Yang Tong.

Yang Tong took a look, and saw that she was wearing a cotton padded jacket, her hip-length black long hair was spread out, which set off her wheat-colored skin as smooth as fat, showing a crystal jade color, her eyes were hazy, like the clouds in the mist. moon.

"That girl Xiaowan, she probably won't be able to clean herself up even if she jumped into the Yellow River." Yin Mingyue couldn't help laughing and said, "Fortunately, I went to wash up, otherwise I would be the one who was unlucky."

"Stop it, it's disgusting!" Yang Tong felt comfortable now, but felt disgusted for Zheng Liwan.

Being so drenched all over, it is disgusting to think about it.

If it were him, I'm afraid he would cut the person with a knife before talking about other things.

"My husband, why did you drink so much?" Yin Mingyue sat down beside him and asked with a smile.

"Actually, I don't drink much. It's probably because I'm not used to the highland barley wine in Tubo. I can't bear it when it's blown by the cold wind."

Speaking of this, Yang Tong changed the subject: "Have you noticed that today's Tibetan army is more fanatical than the enemies we have encountered in the past?"

Yin Mingyue looked back carefully, and also found that almost no one in the Tubo army surrendered after being surrounded. She nodded and said, "Maybe the Tubo army is invincible across the plateau, so they are as proud as our army."

"If we fought against the Tubo army in the wilderness, who do you think is stronger?" Yang Tong asked again.

"I think this question is relatively broad and cannot be generalized. It should be answered in stages."

"how do I say this?"

"Take the battle of Duoma Town as an example. If Tubo took advantage of our army's driving cattle and sheep, and our foothold was not stable, they would press with all their strength. With their strength of [-] troops, even if the Ninth Army won, it would probably suffer heavy losses. But Their coach, Lun Keer, hesitated, and missed the opportunity for victory." Yin Mingyue explained the root cause of Tubo's failure in the daytime battle.

"It's not about Cole's hesitation, but about Cole's 'confidant'. He knew that the Tubo soldiers were greedy, and he was afraid that these soldiers would cause chaos in order to rob cattle and sheep, so he didn't rush forward in time. But unfortunately he didn't' Know the enemy." Yang Tong said with some joy: "If he comes to fight in time, the horses, cattle and sheep in Duoma Town will attack our formation. In terms of the combat power of the Tubo Army, even if the Ninth Army wins, He also has to pay a heavier price, but it's a pity that he made a mistake in decision-making."

"That's right, this is the legendary general who was incompetent and exhausted the entire army." Yin Mingyue said with some disdain.

Yang Tong smiled slightly, noncommittal.

This kind of view that "the barbarians don't understand the art of war is nothing to fear" has always prevailed in the Central Plains, but Yang Tong believes that this discriminatory argument is inaccurate, although in terms of cultural background, the Four Cypriots are far inferior to the Central Plains; Military works such as "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Wu Zi's Art of War" and "Sun Bin's Art of War" are used to teach the younger generations.

But it cannot be said that aliens cannot fight.

Although some outstanding foreign generals have not learned the orthodox art of war, they have their own style of play. Although it is a wild way, it is often effective.When fighting, you will not be constrained by military theory. When you use soldiers, you can be said to be unconstrained and eclectic. This kind of routine that does not follow common sense often makes ordinary generals in the Central Plains who have learned the art of war suffer greatly.

Thinking of this, Yang Tong asked again: "What you just said should be the first stage, what about now? If our two armies line up in the wilderness, how will the outcome be?"

"If we really want to fight in the wilderness, the outcome should be divided equally. Our army has high morale and is well-equipped; and the Tubo army must take back the strategic route of Doma. There is no way out, and it will definitely fight to the death. They are powerful, and the soldiers fight each other as hard as they do today, so they still have a chance of winning."

Having said this, Yin Mingyue finally understood why Yang Tong couldn't hold on, she continued: "My husband can't hold on now, just like Lian Po's battle against the famous general of the Qin Dynasty, Wang He. The army insisted on not fighting, and the defeat of the Qin army was an inevitable result. The Tubo army is like the Qin army in ancient times. The timing, location, and harmony of people are all lost. As long as we stick to not fighting, the Tubo army will be defeated."

"not necessarily."

"Why?"

"Maybe Tubo will also send people to Luoyang to carry out countermeasures, and replace me with Zhao Kuo who is talking on paper, and the result of the Battle of Changping will be repeated."

"Husband..." Yin Mingyue rolled her husband's eyes angrily.

Just kidding, Yang Tong is in a very good mood.

Following Yin Mingyue's train of thought, he recalled the Battle of Changping in a whimsical way.He suddenly smiled and said, "Your example reminds me that we can use the strengths of both Qin and Zhao to deal with the Tubo army."

"How to use it?" Yin Mingyue knew that her husband had another trick, and immediately became interested.

"I think according to the battle of Changping and the battle of Handan."

Hearing this, Yin Mingyue carefully reviewed the battle between Qin and Zhao, and said excitedly: "At the beginning, the scouts of the Qin army killed Lian Po's lieutenant general, and we can also send fine cavalry to harass the Tubo army all the way, further dragging it down. ; This tactic, combined with not being able to hold on, can even create the illusion that our troops are not strong, so that the Tubo army can move forward with confidence. Then we will set up an ambush in the middle, and wipe out the enemy again and again. When they arrive at Doma At that time, not only people were exhausted, but also the strength was greatly reduced. At the same time, Lu Dongzan could also be replaced by countermeasures..."

"Duoma is the door of Tubo, Lu Dongzan will come to fight no matter what, your way of harassing along the way is good..." Yang Tong gently embraced Yin Mingyue, staring at this delicate face like a blooming peony, it was funny The rhetorical question: "But is countermeasure necessary?"

"This..." Yin Mingyue was startled, then smiled shyly, she realized that she had become Zhao Kuo who was talking on paper.

Yang Tong laughed and said, "Your countermeasure is actually quite good, it's just that time is too late."

"..." Yin Mingyue felt that it was better not to say such comforting words.

"The key is that Lu Dongzan is someone I must get rid of. If Langri Zanpu really wants to exchange him, I'm still not happy."

"Since Husband thinks Lu Dongzan is important, then let me take Shura Wei to kill Lu Dongzan."

"Although Lu Dongzan is powerful, he is still Zhao Kuo on paper; if you killed him, wouldn't you be helping Tubo?"

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, what should I do? You can just say it straight." Yin Mingyue couldn't stand him anymore, and couldn't help but lose her temper.

"Let Wang Xiongdan take two thousand Xuanjia troops to harass."

"Why not General Pei and General Niu, they are better at fighting."

"Although Wang Xiongdan's martial arts skills are not as good as Xingyan's and Laoniu's, when it comes to harassment, he is definitely better than them."

"General Wang was a bandit before, and he never missed it?" Yin Mingyue said knowingly.

"That's right!" Yang Tong pushed back the hair on her forehead, kissed her hard, and said with a smile, "Let someone pass the order."

"Okay." Yin Ming nodded, and left with a blushing pretty face.

Or vomited a lot, Yang Tong felt a little upset.

Simply stepping into the big tent, the icy night wind blows, and my mind clears up a lot. At this time, the big camp has slowly returned to calm.

The soldiers obviously knew that the war was coming, so although they were treated openly to eat and drink, no one drank freely and left early.

It seems that the strict military discipline that has been enforced for so many years has penetrated into the bone marrow of every soldier, which made Yang Tong feel very relieved, and then thought of the relationship between the Great Sui Dynasty and various ethnic groups.

He has not been dealing with tribal countries for a year or two, and he knows that the relationship between the various tribes has always been slavery and enslaved.

The premise of a strong nomadic nation is conquest. The conqueror maintains his rule and expands his own strength by constantly conquering other nations and tribes, while the conquered have been fighting hard, and when they get rid of their slavery, they will conquer others. .

In this regard, the Turks in the north are the most prominent. The Turks feared that other tribes would become stronger, so they imposed heavy taxes on the various tribes headed by Tiele to weaken their strength.

However, the heavy tax squeeze also made the resistance of Tiele's ministries very fierce, and their internal contradictions became the means used by the Central Plains Dynasty to weaken the Turks. Infighting.

In the Li Tang Dynasty in history, it used Tie Le's Xue Yantuo tribe to weaken the Turks, but Xue Yantuo rose strongly, and within a few years he became the confidant of the Li Tang Dynasty. After that, the Central Plains Dynasty successively supported Tubo, Huihe, and Khitan Such a strong enemy.Therefore, neither the division of the Sui Dynasty nor the single support of the Tang Dynasty is the best way to solve the border chaos. The key is to conquer them with iron and blood.

Yang Tong sighed slightly, maybe there is another way to deal with the surrounding alien races, that is to first fight against the powerful tribes, and then divide Tubo and Turks into countless small countries in the way of religious belief and ethnic distribution, just like The countries in the Western Regions have been passed down for a longer time than the Central Plains dynasty, but they have never been able to threaten the Central Plains. The reason is that they are too small, have equal strength, and compete with each other, so no one can do anything to others, let alone be strong enough to threaten the Central Plains.In fact, the specific method of division is quite powerful, and the most typical ones are the "three bus" and "three eight" problems of later generations.

At this time, Yang Tong turned his gaze to the east, full of anticipation for the upcoming battle.

. . . . . . . . . .

Contrary to the bustle of the Sui army camp where Yang Tong was, Wang Fubao's army in Doma North Valley was completely silent.

The soldiers who stayed behind fought for a long time, and their energy and physical strength were exhausted. Except for scouts and patrols, most of the soldiers fell asleep soon after nightfall.

The same is true for Wei Fengwu.

It's not as good as sleeping for a long time, she suddenly let out a horrified scream, sat up suddenly, panting heavily, her pale pretty face was covered with sweat, and her phoenix eyes were full of fear.

"Elder Sister, what's wrong with you." Shui Tianji, who had just returned from inspection, was about to take off her armor to take a rest, when she heard Wei Fengwu screaming in horror, she rushed to the tent with a group of Asura guards.

Seeing that it was Shui Tianji, Wei Fengwu was stunned for a moment, she rubbed her temples, trying to wake herself up.

She had a nightmare.

"Eldest sister..." Seeing Wei Fengwu startled, Shui Tianji cried out worriedly.

"I had a nightmare, it was really scary..." Wei Fengwu let go of her heart, "What time is it now, is it dawn?"

"It's not Haishi yet." Yang Qinfang was speechless.

"Oh!" Wei Fengwu got out from under the quilt. She was only wearing a small dress, revealing her suet-like skin covered with crystal beads of sweat. She took the clothes from Shui Tianji, Randomly put on.

"The whole body is sweating, what kind of nightmare did you have?" Shui Tianji asked curiously.

Looking back at the scene in the dream, Wei Fengwu's eyes became extremely frightened again, and he said in a trembling voice: "I dreamed that my husband, Mingyue, General Pei, General Niu, General Wang and all the soldiers were washed into the Yellow River by the flood. As if it were real."

"I think you are worrying too much!" Shui Tianji tied her hair into a bun, and said with amazement:

"No, no, no!" Wei Fengwu took a look at Shui Tianji, shook his head stubbornly and said, "As the saying goes, dreams are often dreamed by day and dreams are often a kind of omen."

"During my inspection just now, the water in the Yellow River was frozen. How can there be floods? You can't go to war just because of your dream, right?" Yang Qinfang on the side rubbed her forehead.

"Qinfang, you don't know." Wei Fengwu said distractedly: "I seldom have dreams, almost no nightmares. But I always encounter a strange scene."

"What scene?"

"Then let me give you an example." Wei Fengwu thought hard for a while, and then continued: "I only went to Gaozu Qinling once, and the only time was when my husband took us to pay homage not long ago. But when I arrived at Qinling, I had a strange feeling that I had been here before, and the way and process of worship afterwards gave me a feeling of deja vu. In short, everything seemed to have been experienced once, but in reality Come on, really not..."

"I have encountered similar things." Yang Qinfang nodded.

"I think nightmares are also a sign, a hint. And it's about the safety of your husband and tens of thousands of troops, so we can't be careless." Speaking of this, Wei Fengwu became more worried, and ordered: "Qin Fang, You go and invite Du Shangshu to the front tent, and I want to ask him if there is any problem with the place where your husband camps."

"Yes, I will invite you in person." Yang Qinfang nodded and ran out quickly.

Wei Fengwu threw the nightgown aside, changed into formal clothes, and hurried to the front tent with Shui Tianji.

soon.

Yang Qinfang brought Du Ruhui here.

Du Ruhui obviously knew something from Yang Qinfang, so when he got to the front tent, he went straight to the brightly lit military aircraft room without saying a word.

indoor.

A huge sand table is placed in the middle. This is the sand table of the original Tuyuhun hometown such as Xihai and Heyuan. There are mountains, rivers, forests, cities, roads, and bridges.

"No, no..." Du Ruhui looked at the newly built military camp in Domanan Valley, instinctively feeling something was wrong.

"Du Shangshu, what's wrong?" Wei Fengwu asked anxiously upon hearing this.

"The new military camp is located in the east of the mouth where the Requ River and the Yellow River merge. It is not wrong to choose this seat. One is to avoid attacks from enemies on the water surface. The other is that neither the Yellow River nor the Requ River can flood the camp. The key is that as long as the The camp was built as solid as golden soup, and only [-] people can make it impossible for a million enemies from the east to break through. At the same time, it can also prevent the troops from the hinterland of Tubo from going north to the Doma Valley. However, on the mountains several miles northeast of the camp It seems that there is a lake, and it is a salt lake that does not freeze all year round." Speaking of this, Du Ruhui tremblingly said: "If the Tibetans dig the embankment of the lake, the torrent of mud and rocks will roll down and destroy the camp in an instant."

The torrent of mudslides is more terrible than the simple flood. Zhang Zhenzhou has proved it with the results of Meng Haigong and Feng An's more than [-] troops.

Wei Fengwu's face was pale, and she asked sharply, "What should we do now?"

Du Ruhui took a deep breath, and said: "Nowadays the sky is full of wind and snow, ordinary letter eagles can't send out at all, but the divine eagle and the three god eagles are following the holy one to inquire about the military situation for the army; for the present plan, send out a few more letter eagles at the same time. At the same time, I sent people to quickly notify the Holy Majesty, hoping that the Tubo people would not think of a plan to dig out the salt lake and flood the camp."

"I'll go and inform Dong'er..." Yang Qinfang's complexion changed drastically, and she rushed out of the big tent before Du Ruhui could make an assignment.

"Concubine Wu, please send a letter to Mo and send more people to inform the Holy Majesty."

"Okay." Shui Tianji rushed out without saying a word.

"Li Zhi." A gloomy and cold look flashed across Du Ruhui's face.

"The end is here!" Li Zhi, who heard the news, also felt a little nervous at the moment. Yang Tong is the sky of the entire Sui Dynasty. If the pillar of the sky falls here, what will the Sui Dynasty do next?
"Take two thousand soldiers and follow me south." Du Ru said darkly and coldly.

"Where are you going?" Li Zhi asked, but was greeted with Du Ruhui's cold gaze.

"It's only twenty miles from here to the salt lake, and the hills are full of low grass, and horses can run, you follow me to kill people."

The cold aura emanating from Du Ruhui's body made even Li Zhi, a general, shudder. He still knew that Wen Chen also had this terrible murderous aura and intent.

"I'll go too." Wei Fengwu took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

"Queen, you..."

"I can't wait."

"Okay, let's go together then." Du Ruhui nodded.
