It’s no wonder that Yang Su secretly obtained a ‘Yang Gong’s Treasure’, which made the emperor and his ministers suspicious to the point of resorting to violence, and there was basically no room for relaxation.
It can only be said that Yang Su was too careless. Of course, Yang Guang's decisiveness and ruthlessness were also very surprising. Once he took action, he would show no mercy, and Yang Su died unjustly.
Don't doubt why Yang Guang resorted to such extreme measures. The ministers of this era did not have much respect for the king. Anyway, many emperors died miserably during the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties. A group of powerful men did not take the imperial power too seriously.
It's heavy.
Otherwise, very taboo names like Shi Wansui would not appear.
Once there is an irreconcilable conflict between the monarch and his subjects, especially for an important minister like Yang Su who holds real power, not everyone can withstand the power of a brazen blow.
For beings like Yang Su and He Ruobi who have reached the first-class level of strength, the only way to be safe is to perform a thunderous strike. If they play some trick to convict someone in the court, they may directly fight back.
Yang Su, Gao Ying, He Ruobi, etc., all of them were important ministers who followed Yang Jian to establish the Sui Dynasty and made great achievements. As a result, they either had conflicts of interest with Yang Guang, or Yang Guang didn't like their behavior because of their behavior.
As a result, Yang Guang took care of everything in the past two years.
If it were Yang Jian, even if his methods were similar, the impact would definitely not be as bad as what Yang Guang did.
It can only be said that Yang Guang's temperament is too arrogant, a bit like the son of a noble family, he acts based on his own preferences and does not care much about the possible influence and consequences.
The reason why Lei Hu mentioned so much was because he wanted to tell Song Que that Yang Guang had a very bad character. Since he had conflicts with the Beidi family, he would definitely not tolerate it because of his temperament. This conquest of Goguryeo was a good opportunity.
Song Que didn't believe it. Even if Yang Guang was willful, he would not make fun of the fate of the Sui Dynasty.
Once Yang Guang succeeds in conquering Goguryeo and destroys the country, all his previous problems will be completely covered up, and he will have no chance at all.
"My father-in-law is not as good as this!"
Seeing that Song Que seemed determined to make a move, Lei Hu said nicely: "Even if we want to make a move, we must be prepared first!"
Song Que's eyes lit up and he smiled: "How are you going to prepare?"
"First recruit a large number of people!"
Lei Hu said without hesitation: "The only thing that is worse in the south than in the north is the number of people!"
"Because of Yang Guang's eagerness for success, the people of the North were tortured. Not only were there heavy casualties in labor, but private wealth was also plundered greatly!"
"The situation from the Yellow River to Huaibei is not much better. In other words, the situation from Huainan to Jiangbei is better if I take action. How about we secretly recruit refugees from Huaibei first?"
Song Que disagreed, but still followed the words and asked: "How many do you plan to recruit?"
“Of course, the more, the better!”
Lei Hu smiled and said: "If the population of the territory can exceed ten million, even if we directly raise the flag to occupy the south, we will have the strength to challenge the Sui Dynasty!"
Song Que pondered for a moment, and finally agreed reluctantly.
It won't work if we don't agree. The troops and horses in Lingnan alone will be of no use at all.
The total population of Lingnan is less than one million, and the number of troops that can be mobilized is very limited. Only the territory of Wu Guogong can be mobilized to have a chance to occupy the south.
Although he is also a child of a noble family and looks down on ordinary people and does not take ordinary people seriously, Lei Hu has made it so clear that he cannot push him too much.
However, Song Que still expressed his stance, and it will take up to half a year to accumulate. No matter what the situation is, both families will have to make a statement, and either take advantage of the situation to take action, or simply continue to lurk.
Moreover, he also wanted to see whether Lei Hu thought Yang Guang's expedition to Goguryeo was unreliable, whether it was true or not.
If this is the case, Song Que is not afraid to wait a few more years until Yang Guang has exhausted the foundation of the Sui Dynasty before making any move. Otherwise, Song Que will give it a try even if he takes the risk.
Lei Hu agreed. No matter how powerful Wu Guogong was, it would not be a problem to unify the south in a short time.
As long as the South is in hand and the defense lines along the Yangtze River and Huaihe River are properly arranged, let alone taking the initiative to march north, at least it will be no problem to hold on to the South as it was during the confrontation between the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
No joke, in the four hundred years since the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the strength of the southern dynasties has never been as strong as that of Leihu Territory.
Especially in terms of population, when did the South have a population of over six million?
At this time, the civil unrest in Huaibei can attract a large number of people, and there is hope that the population under the rule will exceed 7 million in a short period of time.
In addition, the territory implements a policy of national martial arts training and a compulsory soldier system. If we really want to mobilize all our strength, we can easily pull out an army of 300,000 to 500,000, which is enough to sweep across the south and even threaten the security of Huaibei and the Yellow River.
.
The Lingnan men and horses under Cheap Yue Zhang are not vegetarians. Although the population is sparse, the number of soldiers that can be recruited is limited. Even with maximum mobilization, they can barely collect 200,000 troops. But with the presence of a commander-in-chief like Cheap Yue Zhang Song Que, the combat effectiveness is still
Quite impressive.
At least, compared with the same number of Sui army elites, their combat effectiveness is not bad at all.
Lei Hu is not worried that if it gets to that point, his cheap father-in-law will steal the identity of the Southern King from him. With the population of Lingnan and its economic strength, there is no possibility of comparison with Lei Hu.
In this way, the two parties determined the course of action for the next six months, secretly preparing to launch at any time, and at the same time taking advantage of the situation to recruit a large number of refugees to enrich their background.
When Yang Guang goes on an expedition to Goguryeo, he will decide whether to launch a sudden attack or not depending on the situation.
After talking about the joint dispatch of troops between the two families, Song Que took the initiative to talk to Lei Hu about martial arts and his own understanding of the art of swordsmanship.
He is not only the leader of the Lingnan Song Dynasty, but also a world-famous swordsman.
Otherwise, he would not be able to reach the current state of swordsmanship at such a young age, and he can almost be regarded as the strongest person under the grandmaster. Even the famous evil king Shi Zhixuan is half a step behind in terms of combat power.
Previously, Lei Hu casually mentioned the art of sword drawing to Song Yuhua, which was an eye-opener for Song Que. Now Lei Hu would not be polite to his face and directly asked the cheap son-in-law about his understanding of the art of swordsmanship.
After all, he is the best in the world. Even if Song Que feels depressed, he has to admit that Lei Hu's strength is really not just a boast.
Seeing that his father-in-law was interested, he still had the nerve to take the initiative to ask. Lei Hu would not put Qiao off in person, and casually explained his thorough understanding of the art of swordsmanship and even martial arts.
Judging from the performance of masters in the yellow world, Lei Hu believes that there are three ways to practice swordsmanship.
One is the most orthodox way, which focuses on cultivating one's own essence, energy, and spirit, and regards the sword as an extension of one's body and arm. As the strength and one's own condition improve, the sword skills will also improve.
This method of cultivation is the safest. There is no chance of an explosion or level challenge in swordsmanship cultivation, but it is the most orthodox way to improve. You can progress along with your own cultivation.
Then there is Lang Fanyun’s sentient method, which is a relatively extreme way of practicing. It is a relatively extreme way of cultivation. It has the advantage of getting started quickly and making rapid progress. The disadvantage is that it is easy to lose one’s temperament and damage one’s spirit unknowingly.
.
As for Song Que's sword-sparing method, it is the most extreme method of practicing swordsmanship. It not only requires extremely high talent for practicing swordsmanship, but also has extremely high requirements on one's own character. If one mistake is not done well, all previous efforts may be wasted or even
Even in martial arts, you have to retreat, but there is no way to retreat.
If it really depends on Lei Hu's thoughts, Song Que's sword training method is naturally the most inferior. If he doesn't do it right, he may hurt himself and cause irreparable damage.
What is the essence of cultivation?
The initial pursuit is to strengthen the body, and the ultimate pursuit is transcendent evolution!
To be more precise, it is the pursuit of immortality and eternal life.
Lei Hu believes that cultivation is a pleasant thing for the body and mind. Especially when cultivation reaches a certain level and one can clearly sense the mysterious connection between man and nature, man and heaven and earth, he will naturally become interested in exploring.
In the process of exploration, one's own life level has been sublimated, and the improvement of strength is a secondary matter.
Obviously, Song Que's ideas were different from his. He valued strong lethality more. As for the other things, he didn't want to delve into them in depth for the time being, or he hadn't entered that subtle realm yet.
Therefore, Lei Hu did not go into too much detail. He just talked about his understanding of the way of the sword, focusing on the unity of heaven and man and the Shattered Void.
Even though the Lingnan Song clan is one of the four great clans in the world, in terms of background, there is no comparison at all with the lineage of the Tao Ancestor, who is not very prominent among the Holy Sect.
He mentioned a group of fierce men in the legends of the Borderlands, especially Yan Fei who opened the Immortal Gate and broke away and the Heavenly Master Dao Sun En, focusing on the Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian.
"Why, do you think the Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian is still alive?"
Song Que was shocked by the strength of the fierce men in the legend of the frontier. At the same time, he learned a piece of news that shocked him from the mouth of his cheap son-in-law Lei Hu, and he couldn't help but exclaim.
"Yang Gong's treasure, as well as the evil emperor's relics!"
Lei Hu said calmly: "My father-in-law should have heard that the Evil Emperor's relic was handed over by the Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian to Lu Miaozi, the designer of Yang Gong's treasure mechanism!"
Song Que was shocked and speechless. If this was really the case, wouldn't Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian have lived for more than two hundred years?
Can people really live so long?
What is the difference between this and immortality?
Song Que was yearning for it, and his son-in-law's words made him see the infinite charm of martial arts and the boundless scenery.
Lei Hu is not a talkative person. He said that the foundation of Central Plains martial arts lies in the holy sect that Taoists evolved from hundreds of schools of thought. After his father-in-law, Song Que, enters the realm of a master, he can provide a large number of precious Taoist classics.
For reference, as for whether he can reach a higher level, it depends on Song Que's own talent and hard work.
