    After the incident with the bearded passenger, there was no more trouble in the fleet.  After crossing the river, Yangzhou City is already visible to the naked eye.

    Huang Mingyuan landed ashore, and before he could return home, he saw the chamberlain who came to recruit him into the palace.  Huang Mingyuan had no choice but to let Lu Zhen take her daughter and belongings home to deal with them, while he went to Yang Guang's palace.

    When we arrived at the palace, before we reached the main hall, Huang Weiyang, who had long heard that Huang Mingyuan was back, came to greet his father.

    When Huang Mingyuan went to Wuzhou, Yang Guang brought Xiao Weiyang close to the palace and accompanied him with Yang Ji.  Therefore, Xiao Weiyang is always with the emperor these days, and he is very favored by the emperor, just like Huang Mingyuan again.  Xiao Weiyang was always by the emperor's side and was well informed. Hearing that his father was returning to Yangzhou today, he rushed to pick him up early.

    Huang Mingyuan picked up his son and did not avoid others.  He had not seen his son for more than a month and he missed him very much.

    However, Huang Mingyuan couldn't care about his son at this time, and the chamberlain kept urging Huang Mingyuan, so Huang Mingyuan had to let his son wait in the palace while he hurriedly went to see the saint.

    Huang Mingyuan rushed to the main hall of the palace, and Yang Guang had been waiting for Huang Mingyuan.

    "Your Majesty Huang Mingyuan comes to see the saint!"

    Yang Guang stepped forward to help Huang Mingyuan up and said: "Mingyuan has worked hard. This time he stabilized Jiangnan, wiped out Wan'antang, and won over the Jiangnan aristocratic families, and solved the hidden dangers in Jiangnan for me. Mingyuan really contributed a lot."

    "It all depends on the great blessings of the saints."

    Yang Guang is always extremely reassured when it comes to Huang Mingyuan's work.

    Today Yang Guang hurriedly summoned Huang Mingyuan for something, so Yang Guang asked about the situation in Jiangnan and then talked about another matter.

    In September of this year, the Khitan invaded Yingzhou.

    Huang Mingyuan was also surprised when he heard that. After Huang Mingyuan pacified the grassland, the great Sui Dynasty had a rare reputation in the grassland. All the ministries were frightened when they heard the name of the great Sui Dynasty.  A mere Khitan dared to wipe out the Sui army. He was really impatient.

    At this time, the Khitan was not the Khitan that had shaken the Northeast and caused trouble for hundreds of years after Wu Zetian.

    The name "Khitan" first appeared in the "Book of Wei" written in the fifth year of Tianbao in the Northern Qi Dynasty (554).  Regarding the origin of the Khitan people, there are roughly two opinions: the "Xiongnu theory" and the "Eastern Hu theory".  There is currently no explanation about the history of Khitan until later generations. It is generally the result of the multi-ethnic mixture in the Liaohe area after the Han and Wei dynasties.  Historically, during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Khitan people became increasingly prosperous and developed southward.  Emperor Wenxuan of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Gao Yang, personally led an army to attack the Khitan tribe going south in the fourth year of Tianbao (553), capturing more than 100,000 people and hundreds of thousands of livestock.  The Khitan tribe suffered heavy losses and was later invaded by the Turks. As a result, "the tribe was separated and was no longer the eight tribes restored to ancient times."  At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, they were attached to the Sui Dynasty and the Turks. They gradually recovered and became nomadic in the western Liaoning region.

    But the key point is that the Khitan should not have the courage to invade the Sui Dynasty.

    Yang Guang handed over the report from Deng Hao, the general manager of Yingzhou, to Huang Mingyuan. Only then did Huang Mingyuan figure out the whole story of the Khitan invasion of the Sui Dynasty.

    At this time, the Khitan, after hundreds of years of development, had formed a tribal alliance headed by the Eight Tribes of the Khitan. Its strongest power was adjacent to Gao Gouli in the east, Xi State in the west, Yingzhou in the south, and Shi in the north.  Wei is a powerful tribe in the Northeast.  Among them, Dahe Duluo, the leader of the Dahe tribe, overpowered other tribes and became the chief of the Khitan tribal alliance.

    This big Heduluo is also young and courageous.  The weather in Khitan has been bad in the past two years, and there is a lack of food and clothing. This winter is also difficult to see.  At this time, in order to establish his prestige, Daheduluo decided to invade Yingzhou south to plunder winter supplies.

    It was also the Sui Dynasty's lack of strength in the Yingzhou area that gave Da Heduluo a fluke mentality.  Although Dahe Duoluo also knew that the Sui Dynasty was powerful, they grew up on horseback and lived in pursuit of water and grass. As long as they broke through Yingzhou City, seized a large number of winter supplies, and then escaped to the grasslands, they would not be afraid of the Sui army.

    I have to say that He Duluo is too young and does not understand the threat of the Sui army. If Tiele's eldest brothers Qu Guleng and Tongluo Xie also tell him about the brutality of the Sui army, I am afraid that He Duluo will not understand the threat of the Sui army.  You know how big of a trap you have created.

    Of course, the young Dahe Duluo may also say "I won't listen, I won't listen"!  After all, these days, maybe I will not turn back until I hit a wall, maybe I will give up only after seeing the Yellow River, maybe I will go all the way to the dark side, maybe I haven’t met him yet.  right!  I didn’t meet Huang Mingyuan who killed him!

    How could a person like Yang Guang tolerate such a blatant provocation? In anger, Yang Guang decided to send troops to conquer the Khitans as a warning to others.

    It’s just that it’s almost December, the weather is freezing, and the road is long, so no one in the court agrees to send troops at this time.  Yang Guang had no choice but to ask Huang Mingyuan what he meant.

    What can Huang Mingyuan have?Meaning, Yang Guang could endure it but he couldn't. Many times he knew that it would be a thankless death, but the flag could not fall and his prestige could not be lost, so he had to bite the bullet and participate.  Besides, Huang Mingyuan hates names like Khitan and Jurchen, so how could he let him go?

    "Sage, the Khitan invasion of Yingzhou is a small matter, but the prestige of the Sui Dynasty is a big matter. Once the Sui Dynasty leaves this matter unchecked, I am afraid that the grassland tribes will have other ideas in their minds, and the originally good situation of the grassland may collapse.  . At this time, we must not indulge in this matter, but we must severely attack the Khitan's arrogance and give a warning to all the grassland tribes. The Khitan is the chicken in this matter, and the Sui Dynasty must get rid of him cleanly. "

    Yang Guang was very happy after hearing this, and Huang Mingyuan was indeed more popular with him.  He had wanted to fight for a long time, but those courtiers were timid, not knowing that it was easy to lose prestige but difficult to regain it. Once the Khitan stepped on the Sui Dynasty's head and did not retaliate, other ministries would have to follow suit.

    "Ming Yuan's words are exactly what I want. However, some people say that to defeat the Khitan, at least 30,000 troops must be sent. At this time, it is freezing in the Northeast, so sending troops rashly will not be good for me."

    Of course Huang Mingyuan knew that it was not appropriate to send troops at this time, but for the Sui Dynasty, sometimes face really trumped everything else.  Moreover, Yingzhou is the only stronghold outside Yuguan (now Yuguan Town, Qinhuangdao, Hebei Province, its role is similar to that of Shanhaiguan in later generations) in the Sui Dynasty. If it is occupied by the Khitan, I don’t know how long it will take to attack Goguryeo in the future.  .

    Huang Mingyuan thought for a while and said: "Sage, I, the Sui Dynasty, can order the grassland tribes to mobilize troops to attack the Khitan, and only use part of the Sui army to supervise it. The grassland tribes are on top of the Khitan. Once they send troops, they can block the Khitan's northward escape.  This way, we can test the loyalty of the grassland tribes to the Great Sui Dynasty, and we can also observe the current combat power of the grassland tribes at a close distance, achieving multiple goals with one stone."

    "Everything Mingyuan says is good."

    Yang Guang was overjoyed after hearing this. In this way, the Sui Dynasty could easily pacify the Khitans, not only killing chickens to scare monkeys, but also not losing strength.  As for what Huang Mingyuan said about observing the combat power of various tribes in the grassland, Yang Guang didn't care. He didn't think that the grassland had recovered now.

    "Huang Mingyuan's battle to create twenty years of peace is not just a lie.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
