Sui and Tang Dynasties: Beginning with Overlord Inheritance

Changan.

It has been a while since the Second Hall of Daxing Hall and Sipingshan World War I have subsided.

Yang Zhao was correcting the memorial when a footstep came and stopped behind the door.

"Master, Xu Maogong is asking to see you."

Xu Maogong's voice sounded.

"Enter."

Yang Zhao agreed.

Immediately, the door of the main hall was pushed open, and Xu Maogong in official clothes walked in.

He saluted Yang Zhao first, and Yang Zhao nodded in response, and then gave Xu Maogong a futon.

Xu Maogong raised his hem and knelt on the futon.

"Your Highness, the food policy has already been implemented, and I believe we will get feedback soon."

Xu Maogong said that he was responsible for this matter.

"very good."

Yang Zhao nodded in satisfaction.

After finishing speaking, he put down what he was doing and looked at Xu Maogong.

"Xu Maogong, after the First Battle of Siping Mountain, the strength of the major rebel forces was damaged. What do you think should be done next?"

he asked.

"Your Highness, I don't know if you feel that there is something strange about the battle at Siping Mountain?"

Xu Maogong asked in a low voice.

"The Jin Yiwei of the palace found out that the Li family was among them."

Yang Zhao said it directly.

Jin Yiwei's strength doesn't need much, so it's not surprising to see Li Shimin going in and out of Jiangling.

"It seems that this Li family is also a hidden danger."

Xu Maogong said in a deep voice.

"True, but there must always be a reason for dealing with them."

Yang Zhao stood up and said with his back to Xu Maogong.

After all, the matter of giving the surname to the Yang family and Yu Wenshu made too much noise.

Many aristocratic families in the court restrained some thoughts, and even gave up some ideas.

But at this time, a sudden attack on the Li family will cause internal troubles to reappear.

Yang Zhao is not afraid of these internal troubles, he can quickly solve them with Jin Yiwei.

But this consumes the vitality of the Sui Dynasty, and there is still time for development, so there is absolutely no need for this.

Of course, although Jin Yiwei saw Li Shimin going in and out of Jiangling, there was no substantive evidence.

Based on this alone, it is difficult to convict the Li family.

"Your Highness, if Xiao Mian is caught, things may be different."

Xu Maogong twirled his beard and said.

"Ah."

Yang Zhao just responded.

Immediately afterwards, the current situation in the world appeared in his mind.

To the south, there are Li Zitong and Du Fuwei, and some rebels who are not too powerful.

In the north there is Liu Wuzhou, and there are Li Gui and Xue Ju in Hexi.

These few people did not contribute much in Siping Mountain, and they all colluded with the Turks.

In the end, it was Xiao Xian who occupied Jingzhou, and the rest of the rebels were basically wiped out.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for ushering in the selection of a general."

At this moment, a system prompt sounded in Yang Zhao's mind.

"Option 1000: Slowly eliminate the remnants of the rebel forces, it will take a long time, reward Baima Yicong X[-]."

"Option 500: Let it go, let the rebels lose popular support and gradually perish, and reward the Tiger and Leopard X[-]."

"Option 5000: Start with Xiao Mi, attack the rebel forces one step further, force the Li family to rebel, and reward the Qi family army with X[-]."

Three options appeared in Yang Zhao's mind.

"Choose the third."

Yang Zhao didn't hesitate too much, and quickly made a decision.

There should also be an understanding of the matter between him and the Li family. Since the teacher is unknown, then create it.

Secondly, only by eliminating Xiao Xian and mastering Jingzhou can the north and the south be connected to quickly suppress the rebellion.

The last point is that the Qi family army is a terrible infantry unit.

With a peculiar formation, it is more than enough to deal with Turkic cavalry.

"In that case, let's start with Xiao Mian."

Yang Zhao turned around and said to Xu Maogong.

"As long as Xiao Xian is arrested, the Li family will rebel and solve the internal troubles of the Sui Dynasty in one fell swoop."

His eyes were firm.

"The lower official agrees."

Xu Maogong followed suit.

"How to deal with Xiao Mian, do you have any suggestions?"

Yang Zhao asked again.

"Xiao Xian's strength is still there, and the place he occupies is protected by the Yangtze River, even if troops are sent from Nanyang, it will be difficult to capture."

Xu Maogong twirled his mustache.

Yang Zhao didn't speak, and waited for Xu Maogong to write.

"The lower officials believe that while sending troops to attack, they can attack from within."

Xu Maogong said suddenly.

"Why?"

Yang Zhao raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Although this Xiao Xian is very powerful, there are quite a few people under his command who hold military power, and the military power is relatively divided."

Xu Maogong replied.

"Furthermore, Xiao Xian's defeat at Sipingshan, coupled with the loss of his arm and the serious situation, will inevitably become suspicious."

He deliberately added a sentence.

"Expand Xiao Xian's suspicion, disintegrate from the inside, and use strong troops to attack."

Yang Zhao said lightly.

Summarized what Xu Maogong wanted to express.

"It seems that His Highness and the lower officials are thinking of going together."

Xu Maogong laughed.

"But I have another idea."

Yang Zhao said.

"Please speak, Your Highness."

Xu Maogong cupped his hands.

"Xiao Xian has a navy, and this navy is controlled by Dong Jingzhen, you can try to recruit this person."

Yang Zhao said lightly.

"But."

Xu Maogong hesitated, he was worried that Dong Jingzhen would not return.

"This person turned out to be an official of the Sui Dynasty, and he has a lot of military power. No matter whether he surrendered to Xiao Xian or not, he would not believe him."

Yang Zhao said lightly.

"I see!"

Xu Maogong suddenly realized.

"You can also recruit the rest of Xiao Xian's subordinates to surrender, whether it succeeds or not, it will have a certain impact on them."

Yang Zhao added another sentence.

"promise."

Xu Maogong took the order.

Yang Zhao didn't plan to announce this matter in the early court, but sent troops there in private.

His purpose of doing this was to let the Li family suddenly learn of the news and choose to rebel hastily.

When the time comes to deal with the Li family, it will naturally be much easier.

"Xu Maogong, you follow and bring Luo Cheng, Qin Shubao and others with you."

Yang Zhao ordered.

"promise."

Xu Maogong took the order.

"Besides, take the Shenji Camp and Modao Army with you, and the Nanyang Military Power Palace will also be handed over to you."

Yang Zhao continued.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Xu Maogong got up, kept the posture of bowing and cupping his hands, and slowly left from the second hall.

After Xu Maogong left, Yang Zhao did not continue to deal with the memorial, but walked towards the Prince's East Palace.

He went to see Li Xiuning and told her his plans for the Li family.

After listening to Li Xiuning, a trace of pain still flashed across her brows.

But soon, her eyes became firm.

"Brother Zhao, Xiu Ning will not interfere in this matter and let the matter develop."

Li Xiuning said.

In this way, he did not feel sorry for the Li family, nor did he feel sorry for Yang Zhao.

In fact, Yang Zhao was not that surprised by Li Xiuning's reaction and decision.

Because he knew how Li Xiuning would choose.

"it is good."

Yang Zhao said softly.

"Father is sorry for you after all."

Li Xiuning said with red eyes.

In fact, by choosing this way, she was already on Yang Zhao's side.

Yang Zhao didn't speak, and took Li Xiuning into his arms to comfort him.
