Chapter 458 Do you think this old man doesn't want to persuade His Majesty?
Chapter 458
"One more thing, how many troops did our Yang family have now?" Yang Qian thought of another bigger question.
"Since your father-in-law Tang Gong became the prefect of Xingyang, he has given many instructions to our Yang family in Daze Village."
"Previously, I had a deal with Duke Tang, and based on your Majesty's order to all counties and counties in the world to build forts and train troops for self-protection, we entrusted the entire Yingze County to train local braves to our Yang Mansion."
"In the past few years, the world has been in chaos, so the government has been training troops, but on the surface, it is still the Five Hundred Steps."
"When I went to Taiyuan County, I only brought 300 buqu with me. After all, you still have buqu by your side, sir. It is not appropriate to be criticized by others."
Yang Qian nodded. At this time, Li Jing, Han Kui, Han Yong and his son quickly entered the tent.
Yang Qian did not hide anything, so he selected some of the things Uncle De said and told them to these three people.
If Shibi Khan goes south by then, Yang Guang will ask for reinforcements, and his biological father Yang Ning will not be far from Yanmen County.
Sending troops is necessary, but Yang Qian is not happy to watch his own father die.
Saving the emperor can only be said to be out of political necessity to protect his own father. This is a practical operation.
Therefore, Yang Qian was very worried about his father's safety. After thinking hard, he specially invited Li Jing and others to come over for advice.
"Zijing, what do you mean, you want to send some more people to protect your father?"
Li Jing asked with a very cautious expression while stroking his long beard.
"Yes, since we all believe that the possibility of Shibi Khan's southward invasion is extremely high.
Then the Taiyuan County under my father's rule is south of Yanmen. If Your Majesty asks for help, my father will be the first to respond."
"Zijing, you don't have to worry too much, since your father has already made enough gestures. And your Majesty also knows the situation of Taiyuan County with few soldiers and few generals."
"Your father sends troops to respond. This is necessary, but he does not have to lead the soldiers of Taiyuan County into the siege to relieve His Majesty."
Yang Qian breathed a sigh of relief at Li Jing's thoughts, and hurriedly wrote down what was on his mind and gave it to Uncle De, asking him to take it to Taiyuan County as soon as possible.
In the days that followed, what Yang Qian had to do was to continue wandering around the northern part of Pengcheng County with Lai Zheng, stopping the bandits from Shandong Province from escaping into Pengcheng.

Due to the chaos in the world, most of the soldiers and horses of the Sui Dynasty today are in various places to pacify and suppress bandits.
And this time Yang Guang visited the north, he was naturally afraid that a rebellion similar to Yang Xuangan's rebellion would happen again.
Therefore, one hundred thousand soldiers and horses were left to guard the eastern capital, while the number of accompanying soldiers and horses was only 50,000.
On July 20th, Yang Guang Yujia left the boundary of Taiyuan, passed through Loufan County and entered Mayi County directly.
Only this time, when Yang Guang arrived, there was no prairie hero to greet him cautiously, and no prairie friends singing and dancing to offer him wine.
This made the emperor Yang Guang feel quite bad. He arrived at Mayi County to govern Shanyang City, but only stayed for less than two days before continuing north.
"Going north? If your Majesty goes further north, you will reach the territory of the Turks."
The guard who was now in charge of the safety of the driver looked at this Sui emperor who had a sudden idea with a confused look on his face, and his whole mood was as if he was pissed off a husky.
Yang Guang glanced at Lai Hu'er displeasedly, waved his sleeves disapprovingly and laughed.
"So what about the territory of the Turks? Could it be that those little barbarians still dare to tease my great Sui Tianwei?"
"That's what happened to Goguryeo. He Shibi Qing. If he really had such courage, I would have stayed in Jinyang Palace and Fenyang Palace for a full season."
"I haven't seen any Turkic soldiers and horses. They dare to take a step beyond our Sui territory. How can I be afraid that they will come?"
The accompanying ministers looked at the Emperor Yang Guang, who had only stayed in Shanyang City for two days, and their restless hearts began to stir again, ready to act like a monster.
If you are really not acclimatized, I will obey you. Mr. Emperor, you are seeking death like this, okay?
"Your Majesty, didn't you say before that you would go to Mayi County to enjoy the grassland scenery and then return to the capital?"
Everyone turned their attention to Pei Ju who was leaving the shift. After seeing clearly that it was Pei Ju, the Huangmen servant, everyone laughed...
It's you, yes, you are such a monster. It was you who provoked the emperor to conquer Goguryeo, and then it was you who told the emperor that we in the Sui Dynasty could not sit back and watch the Eastern Turks gain power.
Then they each perform their own tricks, so that Shibi Khan and Da Sui turn to target you too.
How the hell do you know how to be afraid now? Why did you go there earlier? Bah!
Although I have to admit that you are very talkative and very strategic, the problem is, it depends on what kind of emperor you are talking to.
Yang Guang is already arrogant to begin with. If you instigate him a few more times, it will be hard for him not to ascend to heaven.
"It turns out to be Pei Qing. I did say so before, but now, it's still too early."
"What's more, what I'm talking about is a visit to Mayi. This is Yunnei City, which is south of Mayi and farther north. I haven't been there yet. It's a refreshing autumn day, so I should go there."
Seeing all the ministers and workers looking at each other in disbelief, Yang Guang frowned in displeasure and shouted while waving his sleeves.
"That's it. I'm tired. Let's all leave..."

When Fang was out of town, he couldn't help but ask for help when he came to protect his children.
"Xu Guogong, Yu Guangchu, why didn't you two give me some advice just now?
Today is no better than in the past. The number of soldiers and horses in this border town of Mayi is only 20,000, even if we include the accompanying 50,000 forbidden troops."
"If anything happens and disturbs the Holy Master, it will be a death penalty..."
"Do you think I don't want to persuade you? Humph..." Xu Guogong Yu Wenshu snorted and walked away.
Yu Shiji patted Lai Huer's shoulder, took his old friend to a secluded place and whispered advice.
"Brother Chongshan, it's not that I and Mr. Xu are unwilling to persuade each other, but it's His Majesty's wish. Our disobedience will not only fail to make His Majesty change his mind, but will in fact anger the Emperor."
"In this case, it's better to follow His Majesty's wishes and let him have a life."
"When His Majesty is satisfied, it would be a good idea to persuade him to change his ways in advance."
Lai Hu'er stamped his feet and sighed. "In the past few years, the relationship between the Sui Dynasty and the Turks has turned into a hostile situation."
"Now, there is chaos in the country, and all the guards and troops are scattered everywhere to quell the chaos. If anything happens, it will be difficult to ask for help."
Seeing his best friend's anxious and helpless look, Yu Shiji felt helpless.
"Chongshan, how could I not know your intentions, but you should also know it. Our Majesty, who in the world can make him change his mind?"
"At most, we can ask Wang Rengong, the governor of Mayi, a veteran on the battlefield, to also raise troops to accompany us. In addition, we can send more reconnaissance horses and cavalry to the north of Mayi to prepare for any unexpected events."
"It seems that's all." Lai Hu'er nodded, looking sadly to the north and then to the south.
I just don't know if I still have life to return home and follow the Sui Emperor Yang Guang in the northern expedition. It's like dancing on the tip of a knife.
