Moreover, this move would completely destroy the majesty and reputation accumulated by Emperor Wen of Sui.

From then on, there were many rebels throughout the Sui Dynasty. After Yang Guang completely ruined the country, it became a power struggle arena among the major families of the Sui Dynasty, triggering a war among the princes that spread across the country.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhao felt a sense of urgency.

Compared to the Sui Dynasty, which lost the support of the people and fell apart a few years later.

Although the Sui Dynasty is still on the verge of collapse, it still has a good foundation. If it is really harmed by Yang Guang, the grandfather behind the scenes will be angry to death, and it will also be very disadvantageous for him to gather luck and build a dynasty.

Yang Zhao glanced at Wu Jianzhang, Gao Zuo and He Ruobi who were still angry.

Then, Yang Zhao clapped his hands lightly, attracting the attention of the three people, and said, "Master Wu, Master Gao, and Master He Ruo, I wonder if you three have connections that can send my Yue Family Army and the Snow Dragon Cavalry into the territory of the Great Sui Dynasty without alerting others?"

Before the Goguryeo battlefield was opened, Yang Zao must not be exposed.

Otherwise, Yang Zhao and his 200,000 troops would easily be used by Yang Guang as an excuse to invade the Song Dynasty and turn the tables on himself.

Including those aristocratic families, they would never allow a person with great talent and strategy to appear in the court.

So the 200,000 troops were quietly sent into the Sui Dynasty.

The best option is to wait until the sky collapses, then explode in one fell swoop and completely seize the throne of the Sui Emperor.

Wu Jianzhang looked up at Yang Zhao and said, "We can enter the Great Sui Dynasty in batches from Lingnan. I once had a good relationship with Song Que from Lingnan. Maybe we can give it a try and transport 100,000 troops."

Gao Qiu also spoke up: "I heard that the Yinkui Sect of the Song Dynasty is now under the command of Your Highness. Perhaps you can use the channels of the Great Sui Demon Sect to transport the remaining personnel in batches, break them up into small groups, and quietly gather them in the Great Sui territory."

Hearing what Wu Jianzhang and Gao Qiu said, Yang Zhao nodded slightly.

The Lingnan Song Clan and the Demonic Sect are both top forces like giants in the territory of the Sui Dynasty.

Yang Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Old Wu, I have heard that Lingnan Heavenly Blade Song Que is very unhappy with our Great Sui Dynasty, especially my grandfather, because of his Hu-Han ancestry. Is this true?"

Wu Jianzhang was stunned for a moment, then said: "Well, how should I put it? This is about the affair between His Majesty and the Queen, so I can't say anything behind their backs. But Song Que was a man I could trust at the time."

Yang Zhao stared at Wu Jianzhang calmly and said, "This is a serious matter. I'm sure the Emperor won't blame you."

Yue Family Army and the Great Snow Dragon Riders.

These were two extremely powerful private armies that Yang Zhao had built up over six or seven years in the Song Dynasty, using endless resources. Even if one person was killed or injured, Yang Zhao would feel heartbroken.

It is even more impossible that he would believe Tian Dao Song Que just because of a few words from Wu Jianzhang.

You know, the Lingnan Song clan was one of the four major clans of the Sui Dynasty, and they had power and prestige in Lingnan that was almost like that of a local emperor.

If Yang Zhao's 100,000 troops entered Lingnan, he would be attacked by Song Que again.

Even if the army under his command had great capabilities, it would be completely trapped in the Lingnan area.

Without a sufficiently certain relationship, Yang Zhao would never have taken the huge risk of sending his army under the noses of the Song clan in Lingnan.

Looking at Yang Zhao, whose majesty is becoming more and more obvious.

Wu Jianzhang was actually a little afraid, then he was stunned, and said with great relief: "Your Highness, please close the Ascension Pavilion."

It was a secret affair between Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo, and as an insider, Wu Jianzhang had taken a huge risk by telling Yang Zhao the details, and he would never let a third person know.

Yang Zhao nodded in agreement and waved his hand.

Gao Zuo and He Ruobi, along with Yin Tianzheng, Wei Yixiao and Xie Xun, left the Dengxian Pavilion and stood guard outside the door.

Wait until several people leave the Dengxian Pavilion one after another.

Yang Zhao released a trace of true energy, activating the talisman restrictions in the Dengxian Pavilion, covering the entire Dengxian Pavilion, and then he looked at Wu Jianzhang again.

"Mr. Wu, there is a soundproofing ban. No outsiders can know what is happening here."

Wu Jianzhang nodded and said, "Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness. Do you know why the current head of the Lingnan Song family has a single name with a missing character?"

Yang Zhao was stunned, then shook his head slightly.

In this era, people are very particular about naming younger generations. The longer the family lineage, the more particular the details are.

In Chinese, the word "缺" does not have a very good meaning and is rarely used.

Not to mention the Han nobles with a long tradition such as the Song family in Lingnan during the Sui Dynasty.

Wu Jianzhang chuckled and said, "Although the Lingnan Song family cannot compare to the Hongnong Yang family, which has a history of two thousand years, it is also a famous and prestigious family with a history of more than hundreds of years in the Great Sui Dynasty."

"Three hundred years ago, the once glorious Jin Dynasty collapsed, and the world was in chaos."

"One hundred and fifty years ago, Emperor Wen came from the Hongnong Yang clan. Relying on his father's prestige and personal charm, he gathered many Han clans and became the overlord of the Great Jin region."

"Later, because the military power of the Han and Hu people was too strong at that time, Emperor Wen had to compromise and give in, and gathered a large number of Han and Hu people's families, and then established the current Great Sui Dynasty."

"During this process, Emperor Wen and Song Que's father both sought out the daughter of the Dugu family, the most powerful among the Han Chinese, that is, Empress Dugu."

"Song Que's father suffered a great defeat in love and lost interest in love. He withdrew from the court of the Sui Dynasty and guarded the Lingnan area alone. He even married a woman he did not love and gave birth to a child, and named him Que."

"And Song Que, because of his father's dislike for him, developed indignation towards Empress Dugu and even towards all Han people of Hu descent. He often criticized Emperor Wen's descendants for having impure blood and not being orthodox Han people in the Sui Dynasty."

"Although Song Que's father retired early and ignored worldly affairs, I still have some friendship with him."

Chapter 340: The Old Patriarch of the Song Clan

Wu Jianzhang was a close confidant of Emperor Wen of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Jian. He was discovered from the mountains by Yang Jian when Yang Jian was very young and was brought up by his side.

And Wu Jianzhang's loyalty to Yang Jian is beyond doubt.

For the sake of Yang Jian and the entire Sui Dynasty, a person with extraordinary talent like Wu Jianzhang even went through several adventures, suffered severe injuries, damaged his origin, and cut off his path to becoming a Martial Saint.

So it is normal for Wu Jianzhang to know some of the bloody love triangle between Yang Jian, Dugu Jialuo, and Song Que's father.

If only Song Que of Lingnan was in charge.

Yang Zhao had very little trust in him.

But if Song Que's father could speak, and preferably with a letter from Dugu Jialuo, then the safety of the army's sneak crossing from Lingnan could be almost guaranteed.

No wonder Yang Jian, as the ruler of a dynasty, was so afraid of his wife.

It turns out that there is an extremely powerful and infatuated rival who is lurking behind the scenes.

A strange idea flashed through Yang Zhao's mind, and then he said to Wu Jianzhang: "Old Wu, you must be cautious about this matter. You can mobilize the members of the Six Bats Hall of the Great Sui Dynasty, ride on the golden eagle, and get a handwritten letter from the Empress Dowager. Borrow the power of the old patriarch of the Song clan, and protect our army to enter the country safely."

When Wu Jianzhang heard Yang Zhao's words, his eyes widened instantly and he said, "Your Highness, this, this is not good..."

Let Dugu Jialuo write a letter to the old patriarch of the Song family.

This bastard, didn’t he say in front of Yang Jian that he would give him a grass-green hat?

This is because he is afraid that he will die too peacefully, so he wants to attract some hatred towards himself.

Yang Zhao also felt that this action was not quite fair to his adoptive grandfather, but when he thought about his own childhood experiences, he felt that this was what his adoptive grandfather owed him and there was nothing wrong with it.

After a pause, Yang Zhao said earnestly, "Old Wu, this matter concerns the foundation of our palace in the Great Sui Dynasty and the future vitality of our Great Sui Dynasty. I think my grandfather will understand."

"After all, neither Grandfather nor Elder Wu wants the Sui Dynasty to collapse, right?"

Wu Jianzhang: “…”

Wu Jianzhang felt extremely annoyed and aggrieved after being persuaded and threatened by Yang Zhao with both soft and hard tactics. He could only endure it and went down the mountain very reluctantly, holding Yang Zhao's letter.

At the same time, Gao Zuo and He Ruobi were still guarding Guangmingding.

Yang Zhao, Huang Rong, Yan Fei and other girls spent more than a month happily in Guangmingding. After receiving Wu Jianzhang's reply, they left the land of peace and happiness and secretly went to the Sui Dynasty.

This time, Yang Zhao went to the Sui Dynasty with the clear intention of causing trouble.

Therefore, among the women, except Jingwei, no one else was brought along, so that the women could concentrate on practicing at Guangmingding.

August of the seventh year of Daye in the Sui Dynasty.

Yang Zhao brought Jingwei with him, riding a light carriage and not even using the golden eagle, and they quietly appeared at an old farmer's home in the countryside in the Lingnan area of ​​the Sui Dynasty.

It is just an ordinary folk courtyard.

When Yang Zhao and Jingwei pushed the door and entered the courtyard, they saw Wu Jianzhang, whose face was pale, drinking with an old man with a handsome face and wearing silk farm clothes.

This old man was obviously Song Que's father, the old patriarch of the Song family who had competed with Emperor Wen Yang Jian for Empress Dugu.

He exudes the aura of a Martial Saint, which is unfathomable. His long gray hair is neatly tied together, revealing an indescribable nobleness.

No wonder he was able to compete with his adopted grandfather for the position of queen.

Even though the old patriarch of the Song clan looks old, one can tell that when he was young, he must have been a handsome man who could rival Yang Zhao.

See Yang Zhao coming.

Wu Jianzhang stood up first and said, "Your Highness is here, come and sit down. Let me introduce you to Song An, the head of the Song family a hundred years ago. He was one of the greatest contributors to the founding of the Sui Dynasty. If it weren't for your majesty changing the history books due to personal feelings, he would have been the first contributor to the Sui Dynasty."

Wu Jianzhang had obviously suffered a lot of grievances from Emperor Wen, Yang Jian.

It is rare to see someone take the initiative to reveal a small part of Yang Jian’s dark history.

Because of jealousy, he erased all traces and records of the first meritorious official of the Sui Dynasty in the court.

After hearing this, Yang Zhao was speechless.

But soon, Yang Zhao reacted, bowed to the old patriarch of the Song clan, and said, "Junior Yang Zhao, greetings to Mr. Song."

Song An looked at Yang Zhao for a long time before saying, "Yes, you are one-third as charming as your grandmother. I am living out my old age in Lingnan, but I have also heard of your great achievements in the Song Dynasty. You are much better than your shameless grandfather. A blind old bastard, you didn't train such a good grandson, but let that useless bastard Yang Guang ascend the throne. You deserve to be..."

Song An looks noble, but his mouth is full of resentment.

Obviously, even if he gets married and has children, he will waste half his life.

The old patriarch of the Song clan still felt extremely unwilling and resentful about his defeat at the hands of Yang Jian and his failure to marry Dugu Jialuo.

Seeing this, Yang Zhao didn't know what to say.

No matter what Yang Jian's merits and demerits were, or what kind of person he was, he was still Yang Zhao's grandfather. In this era where filial piety and righteousness were the most important things, Yang Zhao had no right to complain about him.

As Song An was talking, he and Wu Jianzhang started drinking again.

After a short while, Wu Jianzhang fell into a deep drunken sleep. Song An was also seven parts drunk. He carefully took out a long silk letter from his arms, his eyes becoming blurred.

"Ah Luo, what's so good about Yang Jian? He's just a shameless old bastard."

"If it weren't for the Hongnong Yang family and their ancestors' Mengyin, how could Yang Jian be better than me..."

"Look at the Great Sui Dynasty. It has been ruined by the two sons of that old bastard. If they were the sons of me and A Luo, they would definitely be able to sweep the world..."

The old patriarch of the Song clan was a person whose character was totally inconsistent with his appearance.

Especially after he got drunk, he mumbled some drunken words, which made Yang Zhao feel extremely headache.

This is fucking bullshit. Is this something a junior like me can listen to?

Could it be that the old patriarch of the Song family was really having an affair with his adoptive grandmother?

Yang Zhao was lost in thought.

Song An turned his head suddenly and saw Yang Zhao. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he grabbed Yang Zhao's shoulders. Then he put his hands together like a knife, cutting into the crack of the void sky and opening up a mirror-like passage.

Immediately afterwards, Song An pulled Yang Zhao through the passage and came to the Songjia Mountain City.

"Boy, do you dare to marry my Song family's daughter?"

"Marry my Song family's legitimate daughter, and that old bastard Yang Jian will be nothing. I will help you seize the world."

"Not to mention an army of 100,000, even if it's 500,000 or 1 million, I will help you..."

Chapter 341 I'm Determined to Be Your Friend

Logically speaking, it is almost impossible for strong people like the old patriarch of the Song family and Wu Jianzhang to get drunk.

But as the saying goes, it is not wine that makes people drunk, it is people who make themselves drunk.

The old patriarch of the Song family and Wu Jianzhang were determined to get drunk, so naturally they got drunk.

However, the old patriarch of the Song family has a very troublesome drinking habit.

Song An broke through the void and pulled Yang Zhao directly to the meeting hall of the Song clan's mountain city. He spoke a lot of nonsense in a very arrogant manner, and then fell down on the spot.

In an instant, all the people from the Song family in the meeting hall drew their swords and looked at Yang Zhao with sharp eyes.

Yang Zhao felt very upset, but he smiled bitterly and said, "Everyone, if I say this is a misunderstanding and Mr. Song is just talking nonsense when he's drunk, would you believe me?"

Clang!

More than a dozen elders of the Song family gathered with their aura, and dozens of Song family guards drew their swords, emitting a sharp and domineering aura, which was firmly locked on Yang Zhao.

Just when Yang Zhao's true energy was surging around him and he was about to explode.
