Chapter 103: The Impossible Condition
The soldiers of the two countries competed, and the Sui Dynasty lost.
So Yang Shuang stood up and suggested comparing another match.
When Hou Junji heard Yang Shuang's words, he immediately asked, "Dare you ask Your Highness, King Ming, which prince of your country is very skilled in martial arts? Foreign ministers must have a good understanding. Could it be Your Highness, King Ming?"
"It's not true. As we all know, I don't understand martial arts. If you compare poetry, songs, you can show off your ugly face." Yang Shuang smiled and joked.
"Which prince is that?" Hou Junji asked quickly, his eyes swept to the other princes.
Yang Shuang also turned her head and saw Yang Guang staring at him.
That’s right, it’s you! My good third brother!
Seeing Yang Shuang's gaze, Yang Guang cursed inwardly, his guess came true.
At this time, Yang Shuang said, "This person is the King of Jin in our Great Sui Dynasty!"
Hou Junji immediately looked at Yang Guang.
Yang Guang was helpless, but now that things have come to this point, he can't continue to keep a low profile, so he stood up.
His height is about the same as Yang Shuang, more than eight feet tall, but he is more burly than Yang Shuang.
Usually he is not visible or leaking, but at this time he is being watched by everyone, and his momentum can no longer be concealed, and it spreads like a brave general.
Hou Junji's eyes were slightly condensed, and he immediately realized that he had met a master.
"Your Highness King Jin has long been honored. It is my honor to be able to compete with Your Highness today. After a while, I have no eyes and no eyes. Please forgive me!" Hou Junji said proudly.
Yang Guang bowed his fists and returned the gift: "Okay!"
After saying that, Yang Guang looked at His Majesty.
Emperor Yang Jian of Sui smiled and said, "King of Jin, you are happy with the banquet today. You will compete with Jun Hou to help you drink! Let me see your martial arts."
"My son understand!" Yang Guang received the order.
The two moved to the center of the hall, one meter apart.
The officials on both sides held their breath and waited for a wonderful contest. Yang Shuang also wanted to take the opportunity to see the martial arts of Yang Guang and Hou Junji.
The quiet needle in the hall fell, and suddenly, the two of them made a move together.
The two of them seemed to have psychological responses, and at the same time they came out of their eagle's claws and grabbed each other's throat.
The eagle claw skill is actually not tedious. It is good martial arts that can grasp the throat, insert the eyes, and be attentive.
The eagle claws came out together, and naturally collided with each other. The tiger's mouth hit, making a crisp sound, and then the two of them closed their palms.
Then, Hou Junji punched like a cannon and attacked Yang Guang's heart.
Yang Guang remained unchanged when he was in danger, and he used his palm to wrap around him, holding the cannon fist, and resolving the power of the fist.
Then, Yang Guang stepped forward, pulled He Hou Junji closer, closed his palm and elbows, and pushed him towards Hou Junji.
Elbow strikes are the most ruthless. With Yang Guang's strength, he can smash a person's sternum and insert his bones into the heart and lungs, which is almost a killing one blow.
Hou Junji did not dare to take action, so he quickly retreated and opened the distance.
...
For a moment, the two of them fought fiercely, which made the officials watching the battle stare.
Yang Shuang nodded secretly. He has also gained a lot of horizons during his time. Yang Guang's martial arts are really deep. Although he is not as good as Han Qinhu and Li Jing, he is not much different. He is a master who cannot resist even the imperial guards.
His fist, footwork and martial arts are so good, how could his weapons achieve poorly?
So he is definitely a powerful general who fights on the battlefield.
At this time, the two of them fought each other, and it was obvious that Hou Junji's rhythm was taken away by Yang Guang, and Hou Junji had already shifted from offense to defense.
A person like Hou Junji must have an offensive way of fighting. Now he is on defense, which means he is at a disadvantage.
As Yang Shuang guessed, Hou Junji was completely defensive, which was a sign of being at a disadvantage. Hou Junji himself also realized this situation.
What a frustrating thing that a proud person is going to lose?
Therefore, Hou Junji wants to attack and make up for his disadvantages, and this anxious mentality will inevitably lead to self-disturbance and make his own defeat more obvious.
Seeing Hou Junji at a disadvantage, Yang Guang suddenly opened the distance and stopped the attack.
"General Hou is very skilled in martial arts. I admire him. Today's banquet is to welcome the Tang Dynasty mission, and his fists are to cheer him up. When I have the opportunity in the future, I will invite General Hou to a banquet. How about it?" Yang Guang said with a smile.
Hou Junji heard Yang Guang's kindness, and was convinced, and smiled and said, "Okay!"
Yang Guang nodded and looked at Emperor Sui Yang Jian again.
Emperor Sui smiled and said, "A great competition, reward!"
"Thank you, Father." Yang Guang and Hou Junji thanked him and bowed and retreated back to their seats.
The two competitions have their own winners and losses, which is considered to be half a dozen. Yang Guang's martial arts and demeanor also performed particularly well.
Perhaps only King Qin Yang Jun is more depressed because he lost.
The banquet was held as usual, and it was not until two quarters of an hour later.
From tomorrow, the alliance meeting between the two countries will be officially launched. The Emperor of Sui arranged for the Minister of the Honglu Temple Kong Xuan to be responsible for this matter and assisted by the Hanlin Academy. Judging from the situation of today's banquet, it is definitely not easy to succeed in a peaceful alliance.
After all, Li Jiancheng, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, will definitely stumbling.
Sure enough, at noon the next day, Yang Shuang received the news.
"One of the conditions for the Tang Dynasty's alliance was to let us withdraw the 100,000 troops of Changlin Hou who was stationed in Luoning County?"
When Yang Shuang heard this news, she was immediately happy.
Luoning County, west of Luoyang, is the closest county to the Tang Dynasty. The Sui Dynasty ordered Changlin Hou to station 100,000 people to guard against the Tang Dynasty.
You should know that Luoning County is only 600 miles away from Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. Once the two sides fight, these 100,000 troops can attack Chang'an directly. Therefore, Luoning County is a strategic location and even a throat location.
In addition, Luoning County is only 150 miles away from Luoyang, and this 100,000 army protects Luoyang.
So it is absolutely impossible to withdraw troops!
Yang Shuang asked: "It seems that this condition is a difficult problem that Li Jiancheng asked Li Shimin. We must not withdraw our troops. If we cannot withdraw our troops, the conditions for alliance will not be fulfilled. How can we form an alliance? By the way, how did Kong Xuan, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, answer?"
Han Qinhu replied: "Kong Xuan was even more ruthless. The condition proposed was that the Tang Dynasty would withdraw the 200,000 troops from the Lu family."
When Yang Shuang heard this, she couldn't help laughing.
The Great Sui Dynasty stationed 100,000 troops in Luoning County to guard against the Tang Dynasty, so the Tang Dynasty naturally had to guard against it. After all, Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty was too close to the Great Sui Dynasty. It was like a thorn in its throat and had to be protected by heavy troops.
Therefore, the Tang Dynasty stationed 100,000 troops in Lingbao area adjacent to the Yellow River, and 100,000 troops in Lushi County, which was more than 100 miles south.
Such a dense garrison will naturally intimidate the Sui Dynasty.
Once the war breaks out, the 200,000 army will march straight into the sky and take Luoyang directly.
As long as you take Luoyang and go eastward, Zhengzhou can reach the North China Plain and completely tear the Sui Dynasty apart. At that time, the Sui region on the south bank of the Yellow River will fall into the hands of the Tang Dynasty.
After laughing, Yang Shuang sighed: "Both sides have put forward conditions that cannot be given up. It is indeed difficult to form an alliance."
"What should we do?" Han Qinhu couldn't help asking.
Yang Shuang agreed with the alliance, which was beneficial to the current Sui Dynasty, but it was a pity that Yang Shuang could not be the family.
