At the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui was kidnapped

Chapter 335

Hebei, Jincheng Palace.

Dou Jiande soon learned of the Turkic incident.

As an ambitious anti-king, it is obviously not enough to only focus on the Central Plains.

especially……

Turks have always been his confidant.

He was almost his mortal enemy, and because of Chu Luo's death, both sides were on the verge of death.

And when they learned that the Turkic plague was rampant...

Dou Jiande's first reaction was overjoyed.

"Hahaha, God is helping me! Hurry up and invite General Liu to come!"

He hurriedly ordered the waiter to call Liu Heita.

Since the Battle of Tongshan...

He now respects Liu Heita more and more.

After all, he started from the grassroots, and there are too few aristocratic families under him.

As a result, there is no talent.

Ever since he lost his military adviser, his career has developed very well...

It stopped immediately.

Originally, when Ling Qian was around, his territory had been expanding crazily.

but now……

shrinking all the time.

In addition, Wang Fubao disappeared and has not returned yet...

The only general he can fight under him is Liu Heita.

For this reason, during this period of time, he added officials to Liu Heita many times.

Just to win over Liu Heita.

Let him die.

Right now he……

The only person who can do it is Liu Heitai.

After Liu Heita entered the palace.

Dou Jiande directly stated his thoughts: "I want to take the opportunity to quickly regain half of Hebei, what does the general think?"

The decline of the Turks is a good time for him to counterattack the other half of Hebei.

Liu Heikai pondered for a while, nodded and said, "The opportunity at this moment is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Taking advantage of the rampant Turkic epidemic, it is imperative to regain the territory of the Central Plains.

As for attacking the Turks...

None of them had thought so long ago.

If you really want to attack, you have to take over half of Hebei first.

"However... Your Majesty, the speed at which our army recovers the lost ground must be accelerated!"

Liu Heitai paused, then added in a deep voice.

Dou Jiande showed doubts: "Oh?"

Liu Heikai bowed his head and explained: "Today the Turkic people are suffering disaster from heaven, which is something that has never happened in hundreds of years!"

"The heroes of the Central Plains must be eye-catching. Once they capture the grassland, they can get a lot of horses..."

When mentioning horses, Dou Jiande's eyes brightened instantly, he nodded and said: "What the general said is reasonable!"

Horses are strategic resources.

The more horses you own, the more cavalry you have.

in this era……

The fighting power of the cavalry is definitely the strongest!

Afterwards, Dou Jiande frowned again: "Just one thing, now that the plague is rampant in Turkic territory, wouldn't it be unlucky for whoever beats whoever? Other heroes, I'm afraid they wouldn't dare to do this?"

Liu Heikai smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, Hebei is different from Henan and Guanzhong. There are many capable people in these two places. The plague...although it is terrible, it is not a precedent that has not been restrained."

After his reminder...

Dou Jiande's expression became serious.

This also speaks to his sore spot.

Luoyang is the eastern capital in Henan.

In Guanzhong, that is, in Jingzhao County, there is the ancient capital Chang'an.

Talents from these two places...

As many as crucian carp crossing the river.

Although he is big in Hebei, compared with these two places, his talents are indeed far inferior.

Especially Li Yuan.

There are simply not too many talents.

Now most of the aristocratic families in the world have invested in Li Yuan.

Optimistic about Li Yuan.

Actually...

There are also many aristocratic families who are optimistic about Henan.

But Wanmin City does not need aristocratic families.

Whether it is the two-tax law or the Weisuo system, they all show their attitude towards the family.

In order to continue the hundreds of years of big families, these families chose Li Yuan one after another.

"Since this is the case, the recovery of Hebei depends on the strength of the general. It should not be too late. Please, the general will do it as soon as possible!"

In the end, Dou Jian pulled Liu Heitai's hand and entrusted him.

Liu Heikai was naturally moved, and expressed that he would strive to recover Hebei within half a month.

……

Jinyang City.

Jinyang Palace.

Xu Mu summoned Zhang Xutuo and Xu Shiji, and showed them a secret letter from the Intelligence Department.

It says……

Recent trends in Jingzhao County.

Just like other colleagues planted a large number of paralyzed people in Henan...

Xu Mu also placed a large number of spies in Jingzhao County and Hebei County.

Actually, they cannot be called spies.

Most of the time, they are businessmen who travel far and wide.

Under the leadership of Fan Zhu, they can collect relevant information through various means.

Then Pei Ju, the intelligence leader, will integrate the news and analyze the troubles of the major colleagues.

If there is any abnormality, report it to Xu Mu immediately.

"Li Yuan dispatched an army of [-] troops, appointed Li Jing as the commander, and Pei Jidu as the grain and grass. He is heading for Puzhou, intending to enter the hinterland of the Turkic grassland!" Xu Mu said in a deep voice.

Zhang Xutuo couldn't help frowning: "Master, anyone with a discerning eye also knows that it is unwise to join the Turkic army at this time..."

Turkic diseases are rampant now.

Isn't this going to infect one?
And it's still an army of [-] marching...

Are they not afraid of infecting the [-] army, and then the [-] army will infect the people in Jingzhao County? ?

If so...

Then Wanmin City will no longer need to fight.

Just wait for the world to suffer from the plague and reduce the strength of the major anti-kings...

Xu Shiji also nodded and said: "General Zhang is right, the plague is rampant, they are so urgent, do they want to destroy the Turks so much?"

Xu Mu glanced at the two of them.

A smile appeared.

Normally speaking, it must wait for the plague to disappear or weaken before going to Turkic territory.

otherwise.

One hundred thousand troops, once infected, the blow would be devastating.

Even if Li Yuan has a big family and a great career, he can't bear the consequences.

but……

Xu Mu then said seriously: "This time Li Yuan's army attacked the Turks, and sent one person to join the army as a follower. He is already 63 years old and his name is...Xin Gongyi."

Zhang Xutuo and Xu Shiji looked at each other: "Xin Gongyi?"

Neither of them had ever heard of the man.

Xin Gongyi, who had been an official in the Sui Dynasty before, had gone through decades of ups and downs.

Xu Shiji was too young.

never heard before.

And Zhang Xutuo is because...

Xin Gongyi's official position in this life is really too small.

Xu Mu then explained: "Xin Gongyi, a Taoist from Longxi, is not very famous, and he did not come from a family. It is just that his grandfather and father were officials in the Sui Dynasty."

Zhang Xutuo and Xu Shiji nodded, but the doubt in their eyes did not disappear.

What they don't understand is...

Such an unknown person, why can he be so cared for by the lord?
Then, Xu Mu sighed softly: "There are many aristocratic families in Longxi, talents are like crucian carp crossing the river, and Li Yuan's subordinates are even more so."

"Although this Xin Gongyi was not from a noble family, he has a nickname and is called by the people... loving mother."

The voice fell.

Xu Shiji had a strange expression on his face: "Mother?"
