    Palace, study,

    "The humble minister Tang Yong has come to see the emperor. Long live my emperor."

    Tang Yong entered the study. Before he finished speaking, Gao Changgong waved his hand and said, "Tang Aiqing, if you are not in the court, you will be exempted from these false courtesy. Please sit down."

    "The etiquette cannot be discarded." Tang Yong thanked him and then carefully sat down on the chair in front of Gao Changgong's desk, his body standing straight.

    "Tang Aiqing, I called you here late at night to discuss something important."

    "Oh, I don't know what it is. It's just the emperor's order. I am willing to share the emperor's worries." Hearing what Gao Changgong said, Tang Yong couldn't help but look serious.

    Taking a deep breath, Gao Changgong said slowly: "I just received the news that the Turkic Tabo Khan has arrived at Shuozhou City. Not only that, Zhou Guoyuwen Xiaobo He Yuwen Shenju also led an army of one hundred thousand to Yubi.  Sharpen your sword, the war is coming."

    Tang Yong's face changed several times when he heard this. It took him a long time to calm down and said in a deep voice: "It came so fast. Unfortunately, the traitor Gao Shaoyi has not been eliminated yet. At this time, we may not be able to go all out to fight against the Turks and the Zhou allied forces.  Does the emperor have a countermeasure in mind? Is there anything he can tell his ministers to do?"

    "It is precisely because of this matter that I called Tang Aiqing here." Gao Changgong sighed softly, a look of worry appeared on his face, and after a moment of silence he said: "Tang Aiqing doesn't know something. Gao Shaoyi's 200,000 rebels have been annihilated. Yan Di  The trouble no longer exists.¡±

    Tang Yong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with some surprise: "But this is what the young prince did."

    Gao Changgong nodded, and Tang Yong immediately praised him and said: "The young prince is really amazing, he is actually the leading handsome man in our country." Tang Yong was delighted when he saw that there was not much joy on Gao Changgong's face, and there was still a hint of joy between his eyebrows.  Melancholy suddenly occurred in my heart, and I asked hesitantly: "Your Majesty, Gao Shaoyi was defeated, aren't you happy?"

    Gao Changgong shook his head and sighed: "Tang Aiqing, let me tell you the truth. Although Xing'er defeated Gao Shaoyi, he was seriously injured and is still unconscious."

    Tang Yong was shocked, his eyes widened, and he was speechless for a long time. As the current prime minister of Northern Qi, how could he not understand the importance of happiness to the people of the entire country?

    Gao Xing, known as the God of War, is not only a giant in the fight against the enemy, but also the heart of the people. It is conceivable how much turmoil will be caused if the news that Gao Xing is seriously injured and unconscious is spread, which will make the Northern Qi fight against the Turks.  The battle is more difficult,

    "Although I ordered to block the news, there is no airtight wall in the world. Sooner or later, the whole world will know about this matter." Gao Changgong punched the desk with hatred and said angrily: "But the Turks and the Zhou Kingdom are attacking at this time.  It¡¯s really hateful.¡±

    "Your Majesty, I wonder how injured the young prince is and when he will wake up." Tang Yong frowned. As long as he lives happily and well, even if he cannot go into battle to kill the enemy, he can still boost the morale of the army and the people. That's why Tang Yong asked this question.  ,

    Gao Changgong shook his head sadly and said: "Doctor Sun said that Xing'er's life can be saved, but it depends on God's will when he wakes up."

    "How could this happen?" The situation was indeed heading in the worst direction, and Tang Yong's mood became increasingly heavy. Gao Changgong had not yet fully controlled the entire Northern Qi. A powerful enemy invaded, and Gao Xing was seriously injured. For Northern Qi, this was undoubtedly  It¡¯s adding insult to injury,

    "Tang Aiqing, in your opinion, how should we defend ourselves against the enemy." Putting aside his thoughts, Gao Changgong looked at Tang Yongdao seriously.

    "We are surrounded by enemies on both sides, and our energy is scattered. Now we can only rely on the city to hold on, and we will use up our energy to find other ways."

    Tang Yong frowned in thought and said slowly: "The Zhou people suffered a new defeat last year and a new army came to the throne, so their morale may not be high. However, the cities in Nanfen, Dongyong and Jinzhou have been fortified, and there are elite soldiers and generals in the cities.  There is enough food and grass supplies for the guard, and it is close to Jinyang, so we can rush to help at any time, so there is no need to worry in the short term."

    "But Shuozhou is located on the border. Although the young prince has been in business for more than a year, the Turks are coming with force and cannot be underestimated. There are many open areas on the border. If the Turks besiege Shuozhou with superior forces, they can send elite cavalry to bypass Shuozhou and go straight into our country.  If we harass our people in the hinterland, we will definitely be exhausted and fall behind. Fortunately, General Fu Fu of Shuozhou is good at defense. With him, Shuozhou cannot be said to be impregnable, and the Turks will definitely not be able to take advantage of it.  "

    "In my opinion, heavy troops should be dispatched to Shuozhou, and the cavalry under the young prince should be ordered to wait for the opportunity. Firstly, they can be used for surprise attacks. Secondly, if Tabo Khan really orders people to go deep into the hinterland of our country, only they can  Destroy it."

    "Aiqing's analysis is very clear, so we can only respond to the changes by staying still." After a pause, Gao Changgong continued: "I want to appoint a commander in Jinzhou to be responsible for fighting against the Zhou army. Aiqing thinks that  Who is the most suitable?"

    Tang Yong couldn't help but fell into silence. The candlelight flickered and his face flickered. No matter it was him or GaoGong, I suddenly discovered that in such a huge country, there are not many people who can take charge.

    Wang Lin is stationed in the south to intimidate the Chen State and cannot go north; Dugu Yongye is south of the Yellow River and must also be prepared for a surprise attack by the Zhou army; Fu Fu needless to say, but the capable Gao Xing cannot afford to be seriously injured at this time.

    After a long silence, Tang Yong suddenly raised his head, looked at Gao Changgong with burning eyes, and said in an unprecedented serious tone: "Your Majesty, if you don't think that Wei Chen is old and has little talent and knowledge, Wei Chen is willing to go to Jinzhou in person to fight against the Zhou army."

    Gao Changgong raised his eyebrows lightly and looked at Tang Yong closely, lost in thought. After a long while, he slowly shook his head.

    Tang Yong was shocked, and an unspeakable bitterness and loss surged into his heart. He didn't dare to guess why Gao Gao rejected his self-recommendation. He just looked at the desk in front of him in a daze, trying his best to suppress his heavy breathing.  ,

    "Tang Aiqing, you are the minister of humerus in many dynasties of Qi Dynasty, and Emperor Shenwu praises you very much. I know that with your talents, you are more than enough to lead the army, but I have more important things to entrust to you."

    Gao Changgong's heartfelt words suddenly dispelled the coldness in Tang Yong's heart like the spring breeze. He looked at Gao Changgong with some surprise, and forgot his words for a moment. Gao Changgong smiled slightly and continued: "Tang Aiqing, I was born in the army, led troops in battle, and went into battle.  When it comes to killing the enemy, you should consider yourself to be no weaker than others, but to manage people from behind and manage the people's livelihood, you need the full help of all officials in the court and central government."

    "This time the Zhou army and the Turks are coming fiercely. We must not fail from the north and the west, otherwise the people in the hinterland will be tortured by the flames of war, and even the entire country will perish." Gao Changgong's tone was extremely heavy, causing the people in the study to panic.  The depressing atmosphere became even more solemn, "I want to go to Jinzhou to resist the Zhou army in person, but Tang Aiqing needs to worry about the rear affairs."

    Hearing this, Tang Yong couldn't help but said anxiously: "Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, and you have a body of ten thousand gold. How can you personally defend the enemy? We are facing the enemy on two fronts, and we need the emperor to coordinate and command from the center."

    Gao Changgong raised his hand to stop Tang Yong from continuing, and said seriously: "Tang Aiqing, this is not a momentary thought, but the result of careful consideration. Now that Xing'er is seriously injured and cannot afford it, the news will shake the world and affect the morale of the entire army.  If I go on a personal expedition, I can inspire the soldiers and make everyone unite to fight against the enemy. If the mountains and rivers are shattered, I will inevitably die. Instead of doing this, it is better to die on the battlefield, so that I can live up to the expectations of the people and my passion."

    Tang Yong looked at Gao Changgong with a shocked face, his eyes flashed brightly, and the silent blood in his body couldn't help boiling,

    Looking at the gentle middle-aged man in front of him, he seemed to see again the man who looked down upon the world and was extremely domineering decades ago. If Gao Wei had a fraction of his heroic spirit and courage, how could the country of Daqi have fallen to this point?  ,

    "Tang Aiqing, please promise me, okay?" Gao Changgong looked at Tang Yong closely, his tone was particularly sincere,

    Tang Yong was shocked, and his mind was filled with excitement. He stood up from his seat, bowed to the ground respectfully, looked at Gao Changgong with a firm face, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, but I still have a breath, so I will ensure that the rear is stable.  .¡±

    "Thank you very much." Gao Changgong stood up and helped Tang Yong up, holding the latter's somewhat thin hand tightly, and said sincerely: "Tang Aiqing, when you return in triumph someday, I will never forget your merits."

    Tang Yong smiled and shook his head and said: "Your Majesty's words are serious. This is a matter of personal responsibility. I only hope that God will bless my Daqi."

    Gao Changgong nodded his head, the worry in his heart subsided slightly. He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Tang Aiqing, I heard that you have a grandson named Tang Jian, is that right?"

    Tang Jian looked at Gao Changgong in surprise and said, "How come the emperor has heard of that naughty boy? Could it be that he violated the law somewhere?"

    "No." Gao Changgong waved his hand and said, "I once heard Xing'er say that Tang Jian was talented, bold, and had a reputation for filial piety. I suddenly remembered it today, so I have a question."

    Tang Yong suddenly understood, but he said humbly: "The young prince is ridiculous. Jian'er is naughty and disobedient, which often gives Wei Chen a headache. Not long ago, Wei Chen sent him to Qingzhou for a study tour and called him Chang Chang.  Knowledge, lest you be like the frog at the bottom of a well, not knowing how deep the sky is and how high it is.¡±

    "Well, it's better for young people to be more free and easy." Gao Changgong's expression suddenly became sad: "In the past, Xing'er was often not around, and I couldn't help but feel sad in secret. Now that he can't afford to be seriously injured, I feel even more sad."

    "Your Majesty, please don't be sad. The little prince has his own destiny, and he will definitely get better. Thousands of people in the country will also wish him a speedy recovery."

    Gao Changgong nodded lightly, and then said: "It's getting late, Aiqing, please go back and have a rest early."

    "Your Majesty, please don't overwork yourself. The enemy has not attacked yet, so we still have time to prepare." Tang Yong bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, I will leave you."

    ?Gao Changgong smiled and waved. After Tang Yong left, he looked at the desk for a while, then raised his head and shouted softly: "Xiao Yun, go and invite Mrs. Li to the study."

    "yes."

    Ling Xiaoyun, who was waiting outside the door, responded lightly and left like the wind. Not long after, light footsteps sounded outside the door, and at the same time, there was Yang Lihua's crisp voice,

    "Your Majesty, Yang Lihua would like to see you."

    "Come in."

    After waving his hand to stop Yang Lihua from saluting, Gao Changgong looked solemn and said in a very serious tone: "Lihua, I have something to entrust to you."
