Chapter 309 Yang Ruyi: No, how could Yang You win?
"Son, that's not right. Even if Lü Bu came, he would have to toast Qin Qiong."
Yuwen Huaji said, stroking his beard, and began to analyze the situation in a serious manner.
"My son used to argue with you, but this time you're absolutely right."
Yuwen Chenglong chuckled, finding for the first time that he shared the same opinion as his own father, and realized that his father's words made sense.
However, no matter what, he felt that Lü Bu was still better than Qin Qiong.
Although he killed Wang Yun and then Dong Zhuo, his reputation was not good.
But at least from the perspective of the Han Dynasty, the people were loyal and still had the Han Dynasty in their hearts.
But Qin Qiong was different. He betrayed his master time and time again, and none of those who followed him survived.
"Father, second brother!"
Upon hearing the two of them singing in unison, Yuwen Chengdu frowned, his expression changed slightly, and he wished he could go up and cover their mouths.
Speaking of Lü Bu, his descendant Lü Xiao is still around!
How can you say to someone's face that their ancestor was inferior to Qin Qiong?
Besides, Lü Xiao isn't dead, and he's not deaf. Is it appropriate for these words to reach his ears?
"Your Highness, I'm praising your ancestor, who, like you, was loyal to the court!"
Yuwen Chenglong abruptly changed his tone, quickly altering his words with a fawning smile and a changed voice, clearly feeling guilty.
"Hmph...hehe."
Lu Xiao turned his head, gave a sinister laugh, and swept his eyes over Yuwen Chenglong, making him shrink back in fear.
Although the words of the Yuwen family father and son were unpleasant to hear, like farting.
But compared to Qin Qiong, his ancestor was truly a loyal minister, without a doubt.
"Zilie, now that Qin Qiong has betrayed his former master, his reputation is completely ruined."
Yang Guang, aware of the feud between Lü Xiao and Qin Qiong, laughed and spoke from the side, his tone full of schadenfreude.
Qin Qiong's infamy will surely be remembered for generations to come, leaving a lasting stain on his reputation.
How will history record a fickle, treacherous, and self-serving person?
How will future generations view him?
"Your Majesty, what do you think of me sending troops to reclaim the lands of Hebei?"
Lu Xiao felt there was something fishy about this incident in Hebei.
If we cannot reclaim the land of Hebei as soon as possible, other troubles may arise.
"No rush, take a look at this first."
Yang Guang remained calm and composed, picked up another battle report from the table, handed it to Lü Xiao, and wore a mysterious smile on his face.
This was personally written by Prince Yang You of Dai and sent back from the northwest.
Lu Xiao took it, unfolded it and examined it closely. After reading it, he was quite shocked, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Was Yang You truly a military commander, or was Xue Ju, the so-called Hegemon of Western Qin, merely a figurehead?
I remember when Xue Ju led his troops with great momentum, he was almost at Daxing, and Guanzhong was shaken.
But now Yang You has sent a letter, not only driving Xue Ju back to the northwest.
There is also a trend toward destroying Xue Ju and recovering the northwest.
This speed, this result, it's all too smooth.
"What's wrong? Something seems amiss?"
Seeing Lü Xiao's solemn expression, Yang Guang couldn't help but ask, his smile fading slightly.
He knew his son-in-law well; Lü Xiao never spoke without reason. If he frowned, it meant something was wrong.
"It went quite smoothly."
Lu Xiao put down the letter and spoke, his tone calm but with a hint of contemplation.
He went to the Jianghuai region and fought against the rebels led by Du Fuwei and Li Zitong.
The 800,000-strong army at Siping Mountain was delayed for some time.
But Yang You won almost every time he went, invincible and unstoppable.
Moreover, the letter only mentioned Shan Xiongxin's unparalleled bravery and outstanding military achievements, without mentioning Pei Yuanqing.
Clearly, Yang You didn't use Pei Yuanqing as a trump card; he managed to achieve this result solely with Shan Xiongxin.
"Hahaha, Zi Lie, it was you who defeated the real main force of the rebels."
This Xue Juyao is all talk and no action!
Yang Guangda said with a smile, patted Lü Xiao on the shoulder, and the smile on his face returned.
It's reasonable to leave the tough enemies to Lü Xiao, while letting Yang You deal with the less capable ones.
Good. Very good.
Yang You was destined to inherit the Sui Dynasty, and if he could recover the Northwest region, it would enhance his reputation.
Let the world see that the crown prince of the Sui Dynasty is not someone to be trifled with.
This will be a great help in inheriting the throne in the future, and will shut up a lot of people's opinions.
"The Prince of Dai is both a capable ruler and a military leader, truly a blessing to our Great Sui Dynasty."
Since things had come to this point, Lü Xiao was unwilling to say more, lest he spoil Yang Guang's mood.
"Before long, the world will be at peace, horses will be released to graze, weapons will be stored away, and we, as ruler and subject, will share this prosperous and peaceful era."
Yang Guang stood up and said with boundless pride, as if he could already see the day when the Sui Dynasty would be restored.
Although the Sui Dynasty experienced numerous rebellions, with war raging everywhere and the world in chaos.
But in the end, under Lü Xiao's halberd, peace will return once again.
This was a fortunate event for Yang Guang, and also a fortunate event for the Sui Dynasty.
"Once the world is at peace, I am willing to lead troops to the Western Regions on Your Majesty's behalf, expand the territory, and thus establish Your Majesty's reputation as a great emperor for all time."
Lü Xiao also began to make empty promises to Yang Guang.
During this period of turmoil in the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang Guang had both merits and demerits. His construction of the Grand Canal, the establishment of the Eastern Capital, and the campaign against Goguryeo were all wasteful and caused widespread resentment among the people.
The accounts that will be recorded later will not be very pleasant.
To become a great emperor for all time, one needs to add another spark.
Only by expanding the territory of the Sui Dynasty to a extent unprecedented in other dynasties, and ensuring that future generations remember his name, could Yang Guang become a great emperor for all time.
"Alright, you said it yourself, I'll remember it."
Yang Guang patted Lü Xiao's arm, his eyes full of expectation and trust.
Whether he can fulfill his dream and leave a significant mark on history depends on his son-in-law.
After chatting for a while, and with Yang Guang's agreement to send troops to Hebei, Lü Xiao got up to take his leave and returned to his palace.
"What did you send me to the palace for? Was Yang You captured alive?"
Yang Ruyi also received news of the battle in the Northwest. After meeting Lü Xiao, she asked him excitedly, eager to hear the good news immediately.
Furthermore, she had a dream in which Yang You was defeated, captured, and taken to the Western Regions, where he became a prisoner.
Her dreams were incredibly accurate; she once dreamed that Lü Xiao and Yang Guang returned safely from the northern desert.
The results of it?
They really did return, and they even captured the Khan of the Turks.
If I dreamt that Yang You was arrested, then it must be true!
"The Prince of Dai has won one battle after another and will soon recover the northwest region."
Lu Xiao sat down, told the truth, and took a sip of tea.
Although he also found it strange, that's how the battle report was written, in black and white, and there was no way to fake it.
"What?"
Yang Ruyi's expression changed instantly, and she paced back and forth in the hall with hurried steps.
The expression on his face changed from anticipation to shock, and from shock to resentment.
"How can he win every battle in a row? Wasn't he arrested?"
Hearing Yang Ruyi's rambling, Lü Xiao, who had just taken a sip of water, immediately spat it out.
Miss.
Let's think of something positive.
What good will it do you, or the Sui Dynasty, to have Yang You, the crown prince, arrested?
