Li Po reluctantly forgave others' "unintentional mistakes" and did some work for his own talent reserve plan.

In fact, he didn't really expect that border fortresses like Yunnei and even Mayi would have any decent talents besides men who could fight and kill.

Just like he has collected these crooked melons and split dates now, Wang Qing is pretty good, a descendant of a down-and-out family.

Like Xu Zhao, he is a tomb robber and a Feng Shui master. No matter how you look at it, he looks like a thief.

Although Liu Jing had read a book, he followed a group of ruthless bandits and had a rough atmosphere. He read the book in vain because he was thinking about how to rob the house and get there safely.

Next, Wang Jing was even more upset.

Wang Jing didn't brag, and soon Li Po heard some rumors, but it was better not to hear them, and he almost twisted his nose out of anger.

What this person was telling others was how awesome I, Wang Jing, am. Look, I walked around in front of Li Canjun and came out unscathed.

Let me tell you, that's because I don't want to be fettered. Otherwise, I would be a prominent figure in Heng'an Town now.

Look at what I said, I almost turned myself into the reincarnation of Su Qin, Zhang Yi was reborn, Li Po and Li Shenjun were completely reduced to supporting roles, they were closer to villains.

After Li Po heard the rumor, he immediately sent Yan Lu people to look for this guy's bad luck. Unexpectedly, Yan Lu people came back with a message. People love to hear stories. The more exciting the stories are, the wider they will be spread.

This guy is so sharp-tongued that even Yan Lu's swords were returned.

It can be seen that the scholar's tongue is like a knife and his writing is like a sword. This is really not a boast.

Li Po realized his shame and became brave. Taking advantage of his injury, he picked up books, paper and pen and continued his studies.

Of course, this was not because Wang Jing was more persuasive, but because Li Jing had written a letter. He asked about Li Po's studies, obviously because he didn't want his daughter to marry an ignorant guy.

The world was also in chaos, and Li Jing couldn't take care of his daughter's marriage. Otherwise, it's hard to say whether Li Po would have done anything to deceive his master, destroy his ancestors, or kidnap someone to elope.

After some time, Li Jing looked back and regretted, ah, this guy has become a man of the world. It seemed a bit inappropriate to get married.

Of course, in the ninth year of the Great Cause, people who marry and hold weddings and funerals are all heartless people.

Henan has turned into a complete mess.

Yang Xuangan began to besiege Luoyang, and the Liaodong army was rushing back one after another. Sui Emperor Yang Guang was anxious and fuming because he felt that he was about to capture Liaodong City.

In fact, he didn't even think clearly about what he was doing by taking Liaodong City.

Goguryeo's monarchs and ministers repeated their old tricks and sent letters of surrender again. It was not that they were shameless and shameless. Of course, it was certain that they were shameless and shameless. But at this time, Goguryeo could not hold on any longer.

Fighting against the Great Sui Dynasty consumes national power, even if it is the Turks, it will be in vain.

Yang Guang took advantage of this step and walked down, leading the army with hatred.

In July of the ninth year of Daye, Yang Xuangan was still very majestic and surrounded Luoyang. He continued to attack fiercely. The people of Henan welcomed him very much. It is said that many strong men joined the army and came in droves.

Lianghuai was also in chaos. Liu Yuanjin started in Yuhang, and Han Xiangguo started in Liangjun, responding to Yang Xuangan.

But in a few days, Liu Yuanjin, a heartless guy who couldn't see the situation clearly, proclaimed himself emperor in Wu County. Han Xiangguo was better. Yang Xuan was appointed as the marshal of Henan Province, but in fact he didn't stand still for a few days.

He died earlier than Liu Yuanjin.

In fact, the people who were bewitched by Yang Xuangan at this time were all people who failed to see the general trend of the world clearly, and they would not end well in the end.

They tell everyone with bloody facts that rebellion is a high-risk profession.

Just when the army that was fighting in Liaodong had not yet turned around and Yang Xuangan's troops were at their peak, two veterans who had participated in the first battle of Liaodong last year played the role of the mainstay and gave Dachui some relief.

Fan Zigai, Minister of Civil Affairs, guarded Luoyang and firmly kept Yang Xuangan out of the fortified city of Luoyang.

Wei Xuan, Wei Wen, the Minister of Punishment, led his troops out of Tongguan to aid Luoyang.

Wei Wensheng did not lead many soldiers, but as a veteran general who grew stronger with age, his tenacity was hard to imagine.

He led his army and Yang Xuangan, who personally led the troops to the east, fought more than ten fierce battles on the land west of Luoyang. They lost consecutive battles, holding back Yang Xuangan and giving the Liao army plenty of time to turn around.

.

At this time, people in both Jin and Kansai were coldly watching this war that was related to the fate of the Sui Dynasty.

They also had good reason to choose to sit on the sidelines, because they did not receive a document from the emperor to mobilize troops to quell the rebellion.

In fact, how could Sui Emperor Yang Guang dare to recruit people from these places to join the war?

People like Yang Xuangan, who has been favored by the country for many generations, and Hu Sizheng, the Minister of War, have rebelled. Can others still be trusted?

For example, Tang Guogong Li Yuan, who was supervising the transportation of grain and grass in Huaiyuan Town, was sent to Hongnong thousands of miles away by Yang Guang to face the overwhelming Bai Yusuo rebel army.

Li Jing was more leisurely now, and sent a battle report to Heng'an Town, and gave his students and daughter a composition, asking them to talk about the battle situation in Henan.

Li Bi was very serious, and even in her spare time, she still wrote thousands of words to her father with great eloquence.

Li Po was relatively lazy. Well, maybe it was because he had not yet mastered his calligraphy and was hiding his clumsiness, so he simply replied with a few words. Yang Xuangan was bound to lose.

Facts have proved that five out of thousands of words may not be effective. Li Bi was reprimanded by his father's letter and languished for several days. When he came to visit Li Po, he had no intention of quarreling with Li Po.

The letter to Li Po was quite short. He probably felt that the students were not respectful enough to him as a teacher, so he wanted to be more reserved.

Why do you say this?

No more, no less, also five words.

Li Po was immediately stumped. Why couldn't he say that he knew about Yang Guang's third conquest of Goguryeo? Why did he fall into the hands of Yang Xuangan?

I thought about it for two days before replying again. The great Sui Qi was not exhausted yet.

This was definitely a treasonous statement, but neither Li Po nor Li Jing took it seriously. In their hearts, or even in the minds of many noble disciples, the emperor was actually just that.

After the Battle of Liaodong, Emperor Yang Guang's majesty dropped to a historical low. Many people in Chang'an had actually semi-publicly talked about what happened to Yang Er.

A few days later, Li Jing's reply came again. Li Po had a splitting headache. Do you know how much manpower and material resources were wasted going back and forth?

When will it be the end?

Not more, not less, six words, it sounded like a joke, but also like anger, but when Li Po thought about that serious face, he felt that he was more angry.

Li Po felt more relaxed this time. If he attacks Liaodong again, his strength will be exhausted.

Li Bi was really jealous this time. Her father and this cheap student exchanged mysterious letters so frequently. Even his daughter was not treated like this.

Angrily, Li Po came to trouble Li Po, so Li Po found a ghostwriter for free.

Li Jing replied very quickly, this time with fewer words, just two words, not necessarily.

Li Bi looked at it and saw that his head was full of black lines. What the hell was this? Just two words and it was worth sending someone to deliver it.

Li Po felt relieved and did not need to go back. As for this, it does not necessarily mean that as Li Po said, if he attacks Liaodong again, the Sui Dynasty will be exhausted, or that the emperor may not be stupid enough to attack Goguryeo again.

, don’t worry about it anymore.

Seeing this, Li Jing was quite satisfied and was not ready to ask Li Po to say anything more. After all, it was not safe to exchange letters.

Li Bi was a little crazy, but Li Po had become accustomed to fooling her, and he was able to lead her astray in just a few words.

In fact, Li Bi would not be more serious than this. Jealousy and other things are all fake. As for those who are happy, what does this mean? It means that his father finally respects this student. This is naturally a happy thing. After all, there is no daughter in the world.

I want my father to fight to the death with the person I love, or to be cold and indifferent to each other.

She just came here to take a look, so as not to offend her father by letting Li Po speak. As for what was written in the letters between the two of them, she didn't care much.

In July, the projects in Yunnei County were finally completed. Autumn had already entered, and the busy farming season was approaching.

The soldiers don't need to worry about this yet, but it is certain that production will be reduced everywhere. The sequelae of the conquest of Liaodong are continuing to plague the Sui Dynasty.

Due to the lack of manpower, grain production has been reduced, and grain production has been reduced, which has caused many farmers to go bankrupt and become refugees. Then wars have spread, and then the land production has been reduced again. This is a very simple and terrifying vicious cycle.

In frontier fortresses like Mayi, it is not very obvious. If you go to Lianghuai, or Shu, and Guanxi, you will have a very clear feeling.

As for places like Shandong, Hebei, and Henan, needless to say, the harvest will definitely be impossible this year, and they are all at war. Whoever goes to farm is a fool, because even if they harvest, they will not be able to eat it.

What is strange is that this year, after the grain harvest in Yunnei County was harvested, it was 20% more than in previous years.

This is how a great situation of stability and unity is formed.

Speaking of which, it's actually not surprising. There are many reasons. We can't do business this year, we can only farm. Moreover, no one will dare to do anything about it. The bandits from Dongshan have also been wiped out, and the farming season is correct.

Therefore, when the weather is favorable, it is most normal for production to increase.

However, with 6,000 people stationed in Heng'an Town, the food, grass, cattle and sheep collected by Yun Nei were really not enough.

Yunnei is surrounded by mountains and is a good place to station troops, but the army wants to be self-sufficient here using normal methods, which is also delusional. After all, it is not the Datong that it later became.

In July, Li Po's wounds gradually closed and he felt energetic again, so he stopped pretending to be dead in Bamianlou and returned to live in Heng'an Town.

At the end of July, the situation of the war in Henan was quite clear. Yang Xuangan's rebels were first trapped under the fortified city, and then they were held back by the reinforcements from Guanxi. All their chances of fighting were lost. People from all walks of life who arrived one after another gradually surrounded Henan and were defeated.

It’s already morning and evening. To be continued.
