Impeachment will make me stronger, and I will be invincible on the road to death.

Chapter 393 This is a clever plan

"Your Majesty, please retire!" Everyone hurriedly saluted.

Yang Yanzhang was just about to announce his resignation.

"Your Majesty, wait!" At this moment, another person came out and said.

"Oh, who are you?" Yang Yanzhang asked doubtfully.

"Your Majesty, I am Fang Xuanling, the Minister of Industry." Fang Xuanling said.

Yang Yanzhang narrowed his eyes, stared at Fang Xuanling, and sneered: "It turns out to be Fang Aiqing. I forgot. You are my mother-in-law's natal family and also my uncle. The candidate for this mission to Goguryeo must be I can’t do without you.”

When Fang Xuanling heard Yang Yanzhang's words, she was secretly happy. She didn't expect that when she raised objections at the beginning, he was actually appreciated by His Majesty, and she was secretly happy.

"Fang Shilang, if you have anything to say, please tell me!" Yang Yanzhang said impatiently.

"I believe that Mr. Pei is outstanding in martial arts and is brave enough to lead the army. He is really not suitable to lead an army and should stay in the court to assist His Majesty. Therefore, I beg Your Majesty to keep Mr. Pei in the court." Fang Xuanling said.

"Presumptuous!" Yang Yanzhang said angrily. He never thought that Fang Xuanling, who was usually gentle and elegant, would be so bold and dare to disobey his own will.

Fang Xuanling was frightened and hurriedly kowtowed and apologized: "Your Majesty, calm down! I have made a mistake. Please forgive me."

"Huh, I'll spare you for once today. If you do it again next time, I will never spare you." Yang Yanzhang gave him a cold look and scolded him sternly.

"Yes, I obey!" Fang Xuanling said in fear.

"Stand back!" Yang Yanzhang waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, take care of yourself. I'm leaving!" Fang Xuanling bowed and bowed, then slowly retreated.

After Fang Xuanling left, others also left one after another, leaving Yang Yanzhang alone sitting there blankly.

Yang Yanzhang recalled what Fang Xuanling said just now in his mind, and his face turned pale.

"This Fang Xuanling has a vicious heart. Pei Yuanqing is an orphan and a widower, and has been living in our house. Now that I am going to go on an expedition, it is naturally impossible for his family to leave Chang'an.

Therefore, Fang Xuanling suggested that Pei Yuanqing go to conquer Goguryeo to block the way of orphans and widows. This is obviously to put Pei Yuanqing to death. "

Yang Yanzhang said angrily. Although Yang Yanzhang doesn't like to see Pei Yuanqing, he is a brother whose blood is thicker than water. How can he tolerate his relatives being murdered?

The more Yang Yanzhang thought about it, the angrier he became.

"Come here, summon Pei Renji to see you!" Yang Yanzhang shouted.

"Your Majesty, I'm here." Pei Renji hurried over.

"Where are the orphans and widows now?" Yang Yanzhang said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, they are outside the palace." Pei Renji replied.

After hearing this, Yang Yanzhang immediately rushed to the palace gate. Sure enough, I saw Pei Yuanqing's family of three standing there from a distance, looking anxiously waiting for the news. After seeing Yang Yanzhang appear, Pei Renji hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and Mrs. Pei and Pei Jingshu hurriedly greeted him.

"Get up!" Yang Yanzhang hurriedly helped the mother and daughter up.

"Brother Emperor, you finally came out. You have to make the decision for your sister. I can't go to fight against Goguryeo." Pei Yuanqing cried sadly, holding Yang Yanzhang's arm and begging.

Yang Yanzhang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Third brother, follow me first, and the others will disperse first." After that, he led Pei Yuanqing to the middle of the hall. Yang Yanzhang briefly told Pei Yuanqing what had just happened.

"Brother Emperor, you are trying to force me to death!" Pei Yuanqing cried out in grief after hearing this.

"I am also very helpless about this matter. I can't ignore the other armies because of you." Yang Yanzhang shook his head and said.

"Then what should I do? Do I really want to attack Goguryeo?" Pei Yuanqing sat down on the chair and muttered to himself.

After hearing this, Yang Yanzhang sighed and did not answer Pei Yuanqing. Instead, he said: "What is the current situation in Goguryeo? Please tell me."

"Brother, the King of Goguryeo, Bimihu, surrendered after being defeated by the Tang Dynasty. However, their Goguryeo army is still stationed on the border of Goguryeo in an attempt to threaten the Tang Empire.

The other vassal states of Goguryeo were not willing to bear the powerful military strength of the Tang Dynasty, so they all stationed troops in Goguryeo. "Pei Yuanqing told everything he knew.

"What do you think I should do now?" Yang Yanzhang continued to ask.

Pei Yuanqing thought for a while and then said: "The general thinks that we should concentrate our forces and take advantage of the fact that Goguryeo has not yet organized an effective resistance. First send elite troops to destroy Goguryeo, then deal with other princes, and finally recover the Hetao Plain."

Yang Yanzhang nodded and said, "That's not bad."

"But Goguryeo's army is on the border, and our cavalry cannot charge into the battle. We must use infantry to make a surprise attack, otherwise it will be difficult to win.

The city of Goguryeo was heavily defended, and our cavalry had no chance to break through the city. Even if they were lucky enough to get into the city, they would not be able to capture it in a short time. "Pei Yuanqing said with a frown.

"What do you mean, Lao San?" Yang Yanzhang said.

“The last general thought that we should divide our troops into four groups, one to attack the east, and the other group, led by the last general, to go south to attack the northern part of Goguryeo.

Then the general will lead the remaining troops to encircle and suppress the Goguryeo royal family, striving to regain the Hetao Plain as soon as possible. "Pei Yuanqing said after pondering for a moment.

"This is a clever plan." Yang Yanzhang nodded.

"In that case, I decree that you, the third son, will be made the Grand Governor of the Left Wing Protectorate." Yang Yanzhang said.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" Pei Yuanqing hurriedly kowtowed. He knew that the Zuoxiang Protectorate was a position second only to the commander of the Zuoyu Lin Army and the Lieutenant Army. This can be regarded as a high-ranking official.

Yang Yanzhang nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Okay, then you go back and prepare first. Wait for the expedition to Goguryeo next autumn!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Pei Yuanqing said excitedly, finally coming through.

After Pei Yuanqing left, Yang Yanzhang told Fang Xuanling: "Fang Qing, I will give you five thousand soldiers and horses. You are responsible for rectifying the garrison in various places in Jingzhao County. In particular, you must prohibit corruption and bribery by any officials, and you must pay more attention to the common people." Appeasement must not breed rebellion.”

"I accept the decree." Fang Xuanling said respectfully.

After Fang Xuanling left, Yang Yanzhang came to Pei and said, "Concubine, you have been frightened and frightened these days. I am ashamed of myself."

"Your Majesty, as long as you are fine, I will be relieved." Pei said softly.

Yang Yanzhang looked at Mrs. Pei and suddenly reached out to hold her slender waist. Mrs. Pei lowered her head shyly, revealing her two small tiger teeth. Her white and tender skin showed how beautiful and charming she was when she was young.

"The child's father, let's go back to the palace first." Pei said shyly.
