Chapter 255 The Prince Returns to the West

The news of Luo Zhaoyun's victory over the Tuyuhun Iron Cavalry was sent back to Luoyang, the eastern capital, which caused some heated discussion in the court. Emperor Yang Guang of Sui was very happy. After all, he sent people to the frontier. Now he has made military achievements, which proves that his knowledge of others is good at using them and has not disappointed him.

Although it caused diplomatic interference in Tuyuhun, envoys sent to sue the border generals for breaking the friendship between Tuyuhun and the Sui Dynasty, sneaking into the Tuyuhun border defense army, and attacking a young prince, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Yang was very ambitious and arrogant, so he didn't take this trick at all. He directly asked the envoy to go back and bring a message, asking Fu Yun Khan of Tuyuhun to be honest and not cause trouble on the frontier, otherwise the army would conquer it.

At the same time, Yang Guang also issued an order to praise Luo Zhaoyun, and upgraded his title to one level, granted Zijin Doctor a separate title, rewarded him with a lot of gold, silk, etc., and allowed him to continue to expand the horse farm on the border, develop cavalry, and intensify training. He has the power of life and death, and can use the Jinlin sword to kill first and then report.

After receiving these promises, Luo Zhaoyun's prestige in Linqiang City became even higher. Liang Yuanli, Zhang Jun, Cui Shi and others led some commanders to serve and were willing to obey the orders of the general.

"In the future, we will not be a question of whether it is a capital army or a frontier army. We will treat everyone equally based on our talents."

Liang Yuanli and others clasped their fists and were still a little impressed by the young general's decisiveness and unconventional way of doing things.

Guo Xiaoke said at this time: "Report to General Luo, we have captured thousands of war horses this time, and have been assigned to four major horse farms for cultivation and breeding. A year later, there will be 20,000 war horses on the horse farm, and the cavalry will definitely grow stronger."

Luo Zhaoyun nodded and said, "The general's goal is to build 50,000 iron cavalry within two years. Although there are no horses now, knight training cannot be missing. You can make some Trojan horses, conduct jumping and riding training, and then find some old horses to train for horses to train for riding. Horses on the battlefield can be used to minimize losses."

Guo Xiaoke's eyes lit up. It seemed so simple but it was difficult to think of a method by himself. It was Luo Zhaoyun's extraordinary features.

"I will understand."

Luo Zhaoyun continued: "Continue to farm the border, and then recruit new recruits, from 60,000 troops to 100,000 troops. Within two years, the court will make great moves in Tuyuhun. This is a good place for us to expand our territory and make achievements. I believe that none of us will be willing to live a mediocre life like this and support our old age in a bitter and cold place. We must regard this as a place of hardship, our springboard, and a place that has been famous in history."

His words were extremely contagious, and many generals were all excited. If they could continue to promote here, and then lead their troops into Tuyuhun and expand their territory, they could indeed be the glory of their lives.

Luo Zhaoyun was full of spirit and said confidently: "In the next year, this general has formulated a major plan, including training, making equipment, raising horses, farming, military household mobilization, formation exercises and other aspects. You must cooperate with all your strength and strictly implement military discipline!"

"The last general obeys the order!" All the military generals and officials stood up and obeyed respectfully.

Luo Zhaoyun nodded. He was looking forward to what kind of army he could build after he tempered his troops in the frontier for a year and accumulates strength.

………………

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was late August. The Crown Prince Yang Zhao had been notified twice by Emperor Yang of Sui that he could return to Daxing City, but he was a little reluctant to leave behind the scenes. Wang Mei, so he delayed for a while, which aroused Yang Guang's dissatisfaction.

The ministers of the Yang Hing faction began to accept advice. Some of them violated the will of His Majesty and did not obey the king's orders; some reported that he had had too close contacts with some important officials and tried to gain more power, so he was unwilling to leave Dongdu. These remarks were not good for the prince and aroused Yang Guang's suspicion.

Empress Xiao asked Yang Zhao to talk and asked him to leave Dongdu quickly, otherwise the father and son would be sowed away, which would be a threat to his prince.

Yang Zhao was helpless and knelt outside the Ganyang Hall for a long time, saying goodbye to his father, and then took his family and guards, and his close ministers to the Dongdu and return to Daxing City.

This road is several hundred miles away and requires passing through the steep roads such as Hangu Pass.

Yang Zhao was in a bad mood on the road because he knew that he had been reported by the censor and ministers, and there was a shadow of the King of Qi behind the scenes. His brothers were now on the road to fighting for the throne. This was a cruel road to death. There were many corpses on the road of the emperor, cruelty and bloody, and it was no longer something that family relationships could stop or bind.

He didn't want to attack King Qi, but when he thought of his uncle Yang Yong's fate, his wife and children separated, he drank poisoned wine, and the remaining flesh and blood were exiled and assassinated.

Yang Zhao was not so passionate about the position of emperor, but now he was in a difficult position. It was not that he wanted to give way, but King Qi could let him go.

"Oh, I was born with the same roots, so why not worry about each other!" Yang Zhao sighed, lifted the curtain of the car, saw the beautiful afterglow of the setting sun, and ordered to stop and rest here for one night.

This place is not an inn, so the guards need to set up camps and work hard.

At night, when Yang Zhao was flipping through the book, he suddenly felt a black shadow appearing beside him. He was very fat and he was sitting and turning a little slowly. When he turned his head, he was empty on the side, as if he was standing on the other side.

"No need to watch it, I'll send you on your way tonight!"

At this time, a cold voice sounded softly. The man in black reached out and patted Yang Zhao's head, which shocked him directly. However, he did not kill him. Instead, he chose acupuncture, used a few long needles and pointed a few acupuncture points. This is the place where the meridians are blocked, which speeded up the heartbeat, but hindered the blood flow.

Originally, Yang Zhao was obese and had comprehensive diseases such as diabetes and coronary heart disease. He closed the acupoints in this way and stimulated the heart. Soon, Yang Zhao's face turned red and he was suffering from breathing. The man in black behind him pulled up his body, pushed his head to the ground, forged the scene of his fainting, which directly caused intracranial bleeding and gradually lost his breathing.

The man in black disappeared strangely. When half an hour later, the commander of the guard outside came in to pay homage to the prince, Yang Zhao was already dead. (To be continued.)
