The most powerful tyrant of the Sui Dynasty

"It is my honor to serve Your Majesty. "

The monarchs and ministers have a good heart, and Zhang Yi also admires the grand cause of the Sui Emperor.

For the sake of the Great Sui's century-old plan, and at the same time did not repay Yang Guang's kindness, Zhang Yi had already put his life out of the way, and was willing to die for the sake of the Great Sui.

Of course, Yang Guang also attaches great importance to Zhang Yi, and his defense is also at the highest level.

"Zhang Zi went to the Northern Song Dynasty this time, I'm afraid that he won't find relatives for His Majesty to come back. "

'Haha. ’

"I'm afraid it won't work, Zhao Kuangyin, that old guy, has been wilting for many years, and the youngest daughter under his knees has already married to Datang, and there is no suitable candidate. "

"Hey, you have to believe in Sangkoku-sama. "

"Where, where, ashamed, ashamed. "

Zhang Yi's identity as a matchmaker is already recognized.

was teased by the courtiers, Zhang Yi could only wave his hand and shake his head again and again, this reputation is not only widely spread in Sui, but also in other countries, especially the last time in Dongwu, there were three beauties at once.

Now in Xiangguo's mansion, when the envoys of other countries see Xiangguo, the first thing they say is that they always want to get married.

When there was peace in the court, the military department had already sent the will issued by Yang Guang to the Northern Song Dynasty and General Li Cunxiao for the first time.

Li Cunxiao, who received the order, immediately cleaned up the soldiers and horses and divided his soldiers and horses into two groups.

A group of local Western Xia iron cavalry, previously used Li Yuanhao's will to seize the military power, the purpose was to crusade against the Northern Song Dynasty.

In this war, they are naturally indispensable.

And the local guards also need to stay behind, so they left 10,000 iron cavalry and all the Western Xia generals who defected to the Great Sui, and 1,000 tiger and wolf cavalry to stay in Western Xia. In addition to coordinated defense, there is also the meaning of testing the generals of Western Xia who defected to the Great Sui.

On the other hand, as early as when Li Cunxiao arrived in Western Xia, he had already begun to investigate the situation of the two major cities of Oduo and Les occupied by the Northern Song Dynasty. These two cities were the two largest of the cities occupied by the Northern Song Dynasty, and eighty percent of the Northern Song Dynasty army gathered inside.

If you want to take the cities lost by the Western Xia Kingdom, the most important thing is to take the two big cities of Odo/Ers.

The guards in the big city were the famous generals of the Northern Song Dynasty, among which the Northern Song general who guarded the city of Oduo was called Pan Mei, and the general who guarded the city of Les was the famous general Di Qing.

After integrating the entire Western Xia army and uniting the soldiers he led, Li Cunxiao led an army of 100,000 and began to march towards the two cities.

Li Cunxiao stationed the army on the periphery of the two cities, first discharged scouts to investigate, and when he learned that in the cities occupied by the Northern Song Dynasty, except for the two cities of Odo and Er, there were not many defenders in the other cities, he immediately made a bold decision.

With the vanguard troops, they launched a provocation against the two cities of Odo and Ers, and then sent a small force to bypass the two cities and take the other cities first.

Before nightfall, the tiger wolf rode into other small cities secretly, and through thunder, immediately took control of the city, and then released the captured Northern Song soldiers back, and asked them to inform Pan Mei and Di Qing.

With the means of tiger and wolf riding, if you use a sneak attack, it is impossible for any fish to slip through the net, these are all specially arranged by Li Cunxiao.

At the same time, Zhao Kuangyin, the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, had already received a letter of state from Yang Guang.

"Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang, you dare to make the first move!"

Zhao Kuangyin crumpled the national letter in his hand, and later felt puzzled, so he pulled it hard, but he didn't want to knead the national letter into a ball, since it was extremely tough.

After several efforts, he couldn't tear it up, and Zhao Kuangyin unfolded the dough he kneaded while exerting force.

Finally, after a few times, this troublesome national book was torn to shreds.

All the courtiers didn't dare to take a mouthful, and they all understood why Zhao Kuangyin was angry at this time.

originally thought that the Sui Dynasty would choose to take the initiative to sue for peace, after all, it had just received Goryeo and Western Xia, and another one, even if it did not seek peace, it would send an envoy over to talk first.

Unexpectedly, the letter of state arrived, but it was a war letter, and at this moment, several cities in Western Xia that had been occupied by the Northern Song Dynasty had successively sent military information about the Sui army's attack, and even many of them had already lost their cities.

As soon as the war letter was delivered, the Northern Song Dynasty lost several cities here, and it was sent to the main hall along with the military situation, in front of Zhao Kuangyin, this was simply a slap in the face of Chi Guoguo.

Zhao Kuangyin was furious, tore up the war book, and then began to grab the folds on the table.

These are important official matters, and the eunuch wanted to stop them, but Zhao Kuangyin pushed them away and continued to tear the paper to vent his anger.

After all, the Northern Song Dynasty has been a strong country for many years, and since it was beaten first by the newly established Sui Dynasty, no one can bear it.

"Your Majesty, the Sui Dynasty didn't want to start a war with my Northern Song Dynasty, otherwise it wouldn't just attack the few cities of Western Xia that had been captured before. At the very least, if you really want to fight, attacking from those cities with sufficient military strength is not the best choice. Emperor Yang Guang's intention was obvious, that is, he wanted to coerce our Northern Song Dynasty through war, and the losing side would have to pay more for compensation. "

After learning that the Sui army was moving east to south, Zhao Pu immediately saw the intention of the Great Sui.

"An army of 100,000, is it just here to play?"

Some ministers disagree with Zhao Pu's opinion, when attacking the Southern Song Dynasty, the Great Sui did not send so many soldiers and horses, but now he has sent 100,000 troops, which is completely the rhythm of war.

"The 100,000 army seems to be a lot, but they are all troops in the Western Xia Kingdom, and even 50,000 of them are grassland soldiers in the Western Xia. If the Sui Dynasty really wants to attack our Northern Song Dynasty, it can send more soldiers and horses. As far as the minister knows, now in Goryeo, the Sui army has 100,000 troops there, if there is a war with my Northern Song Dynasty, why is there no movement there?"

Regarding the suspicions of his colleagues, Zhao Pu immediately came out to corroborate.

After all, starting a war with the Sui is a big deal, once you understand the wrong intention and expand the war to the national war, even if the Sui Dynasty does not destroy the Northern Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty will give Liaojin and even the Tang Dynasty a chance because of their stupidity.

At that time, the Northern Song Dynasty will be really dangerous.

"What the prime minister said is reasonable, okay, I also sent 100,000 troops to fight him in the Sui Dynasty, which is also good. Fight and fight, I want to see if your soldiers are strong, or my soldiers are stronger!"

Zhao Kuangyin, who gritted his teeth, said ruthlessly, the anger in his eyes could burn himself.

Yang Guang wanted to hurt himself, and Zhao Kuangyin also wanted Yang Guang to look good.

This is better, there are a lot of 100,000 soldiers and horses, let's take a look, who will lose first, when the time comes, he will also write a letter to Yang Guang, and ask him to pay himself tens of millions of taels of silver, a few cities, so that Yang Guang can also experience his pain and make him look good.
