Chapter 551 Godly Yang Luoyang, why don't you call the eldest grandson to eat the sheep?
Chapter 551
"Yang Yang?" Another relative on the side, cousin Han Zhao, wiped his thick beard and said cheerfully.
"Why don't you call me Yang Yangyang? How festive."
"..." Li Yuan, the father-in-law who rushed over from Xingyang in a hurry, turned pale. What a god, Yang Yangyang, whose homophone is Sanyang Kaitai. How auspicious and wishful, right?
Yang Qian ignored this cousin who was always happy because his mother-in-law, Shan, was pregnant and had a weak IQ. Instead, he spoke with reason and plausibility.
"My father-in-law, do you think this name is inappropriate? You see, there is a saying in "Poetry·Wei Feng·Shuo Ren" that "foreign" means grandness. The vast ocean makes me feel great when I hear it."
"The word Yang is actually good, but the word Luo is also quite suitable. Marshal, why don't you just name your eldest daughter Yang Luoyang? Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
Changsun Wuji had no good intentions at all, and his face was so righteous that he almost burst out laughing.
Seeing these guys, one by one, they all jumped out to make pointers, each idea getting worse than the last.
Grandpa Li Yuan was immediately unhappy. Damn Yang Luoyang, why don’t you ask your eldest grandson to eat a sheep?
He raised his eyes and glanced at his son-in-law. "Your mother gave you this name. Your wife also likes it very much, and she also wrote to your father."
"If you want to change your child's name, do you have to ask your parents first?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Qian was unwilling to do anything, so he could only raise his hands and surrender. He had already made it known widely, and if he objected again, his mother would definitely be unhappy.
Forget it, next time your mother-in-law gives birth to a baby, you must pick up a name in advance, and you can't let others take away your naming rights at will.
"In this case, let's follow my mother's wishes and call her Yang Luo."

When Li Yuan came here, he not only brought a large amount of military supplies, but also brought this good news. He also brought news from the Eastern Capital.
That guy Li Mi actually surrendered to Yang Tong, the young emperor of Dongdu, and was conferred by Yang Tong as Taiwei, Shangshu Ling, Marshal of Daxingtai March on the Southeast Road, and Wei Guogong.
He ordered Li Mi to quell the chaos in the Central Plains and recover Luokou Cang. He also ordered people to recruit Li Jing who was stationed in Luokou Cang and Li Yuan in Xingyang County.
Of course, the envoy was expelled again. But a few days after that, Li Jing and Li Yuan received the news.
Emperor Yang You of Chang'an issued an edict, believing that Yang Tong of Dongdu was claiming to be emperor without authorization, so he decided to raise troops to fight against him.
After that, Chang'an raised 80,000 troops, ordered Qu Tutong to be the commander, and sent the troops out of Tongguan. They had already captured the countryside, and the troops were directed towards the eastern capital.
Yang Tong and a group of civil and military officials from Dongdu were greatly frightened, so they quickly ordered Duan Da to be the commander and led 30,000 troops out of Dongdu and marched towards Taolin County.
"As soon as the army passed through Shaanxian County, they heard that Song Laosheng, the forward general of the Chang'an Army, had captured Hongnong City, the capital of Hongnong County, and was approaching Taolin County."
"Duan Da was afraid of Qu Tu's advance, so he had to retreat to Changpingcang City in the west of Shaanxi County. He is stepping up his efforts to transport the grain from Changpingcang to the eastern capital."
Having said this, Li Yuan took another sip of tea soup.
"Before, I heard that the Xiaochaoting of Dongdu planned to order Li Mi to raise troops to aid Shaanxi County. I wonder if Li Mi has made any move at this moment."
"Whether it moves or not, Luokou Cangcheng and Xingyang County will have no worries." Changsun Wuji said with a look of joy on his face.
Seeing the two small courts fighting each other, ignoring the Jingnan Army around them, this is naturally a great thing for the Jingnan Army.
After hearing the good news, Yang Qian was not very happy. The dispute between Dongdu Xiaochaoting and Changan Xiaochaoting represented the struggle between the last two orthodox bloodlines of the Yang family.
However, although these two people are from the Yang clan and the blood of Prince Yuande, the problem is that the people who influence them are not themselves, but a group of officials behind them with ulterior motives.
Changsun Wuji happily continued to express his views.
"Leave it to them. How they fight is their own business. Let's do our own business first."
"First settle down the areas outside Guanzhong and Dongdu, and then go back and deal with them."
Before the discussion here was over, Li Shimin was seen hurriedly leading a messenger.
"Yang Hao was poisoned, Yu Wenhuaji ascended to the throne as emperor, and the country was named Tan..."
This sudden news really stunned Yang Qian and others.
Yang Qian shook his head in disbelief. Yu Wenhuaji's performance was indeed unparalleled. It was as good as his IQ and left people speechless.
Li Yuan's mouth was twisted, and he said after a long time.
"Founding a country and proclaiming himself emperor? This Yu Wenhuaji is crazy. At this time, he has become a lost dog, but he still claims to be emperor and establish a country."
Yang Qian thought about it and laughed.
"I think it must be the Yuwen brothers, who have been trapped here by our Jingnan Army.
There is no way out. In this case, it is better to go crazy and become an emperor and taste the feeling of being worshiped by others."
"No matter what, if he wants to cause trouble, just let him go and order the troops to continue pressing towards Tan County. In addition, tell Qin Qiong to continue marching north."
"I want to trap Yu Wenhua to death in Tancheng, without any chance of escape."

Five days later, after Xiapi City fell to the Jingnan Army, Liangcheng opened the city and surrendered without hesitation.
The territory of Tan Kingdom, which was established less than ten days ago, has been reduced by more than two-thirds. There is only one capital city left in the country, Tancheng.
Yang Qian, wearing a helmet, stood on a high hill in the southeast of Tan City, overlooking Tan City several miles away.
At this moment, the entire Tan City was surrounded by the Jingnan Legion.
Qin Qiong stood next to Yang Qian, looking at the tens of thousands of powerful troops outside Tancheng, feeling very proud in his heart.
He himself did not expect that the tens of thousands of Jiangdu troops initially created would now become the most powerful military force in China.
With Yang Guang being poisoned and the empire now falling apart, the Yang clan was almost wiped out, leaving only two young men, Yang You from Chang'an and Yang Tong from Dongdu.
They both call themselves emperors, presenting a wonderland of two days in the sky. However, the territory these two emperors can control is really pitifully small.
Yang You, who was based in Chang'an, could still control the Guanzhong and Hanzhong areas. But Yang Tong of the Eastern Capital, his orders were almost ignored by no one outside the Eastern Capital.
As for Yang Qian, the leader of the Jingnan Army, the territory under his control has included the entire Jiangnan area.
Envoys have also been sent to the counties of Jiang, Han, Yuan, and Xiang. As for the counties of Henan in the Central Plains, as the Jingnan Army moved eastward, almost all of them fell to the Jingnan Army.
The land south of the Yangtze River and the land south of the Central Plains are both the essence of China.
The food and taxes of the land south of the Yangtze River have now become the highest in the world. The population of the Central Plains is the largest in the world, accounting for nearly 30% of the world.
With these two places, it can be said that the Jingnan Army already accounts for half of the world.
