As soon as Yu Wenshu finished speaking, everyone looked at each other.
Yang Yi smiled." State Duke Xu is being too casual. How can a mere apology be a wager?" How about this, if I can successfully mass-produce steel armor, State Duke Xu will definitely treat me with respect in the future, as if I were an elder?”
There was an uproar!
Everyone was shocked!
They were shocked.
No matter what, Yu Wenshu was a great general with outstanding military achievements. He was also the Duke of a country!
Even Sui Emperor Yang Guang was very polite to him.
He did not expect Yang Yi to humiliate Yu Wenshu like this!
Yu Wenshu was much older than Yang Yi. If he were to treat a young boy like an elder in public, how would he still have the face to come out?
Yang Yi's words had really trampled on the Yuwen family's face!
As expected.
Yu Wenshu's expression was ugly, and his eagle-like eyes shot out a sharp light.
He had been in the army all his life and had killed countless enemies. He had never experienced such humiliation!
If it wasn't for Yang Yi's identity, he would have killed him on the spot!
Yu Wenshu's expression was cold, and his hard face seemed to be made of iron.
"Isn't Your Highness going a little overboard?" he asked in a deep voice.”
The relationship between the Sui Dynasty's Guanlong Group was extremely complicated, and they had to go through endless struggles.
Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Great Sui! In less than 100 years, there had been three regime changes.
The relationship between the Yuwen family and the Hongnong Yang family was even more complicated. The two families were in-laws, but after Yang Jian usurped the Northern Zhou regime, the Yuwen family suffered heavy casualties.
Now that Sui Emperor Yang Guang was in power, the families of the Guanlong Group were quite calm.
However, after Yang Guang's failure in his third expedition against Goguryeo and Yang Xuangan's rebellion, the situation had become a little tricky.
Yuwen Shi didn't want a wise and benevolent monarch who was skilled in both martial arts and literature to appear.
Yang Yi's actions were also a blow to Yuwen Shi's prestige.
If the Great General of the Yuwen family was like what Yang Yi said, the Yuwen family would probably become a laughing stock in the future.
The atmosphere was a little tense.
Yang Guang finally said lightly," Yi 'er, this is Yuwen Qing's house. This is the court. What are you doing?"!”
Yuwen Shi and Yang Yi looked at each other, then cupped their hands and said,""Your Majesty (Father), please forgive me!"
Yang Guang smiled and said," It is indeed against the rules to hand the iron ore to Yi 'er. However, Yi' er is also doing this for the Great Sui!" As for whether the secret steel-making technique was effective, it would be known in a month. This matter ended here.”
"Yes, sir!" Everyone could only nod.
After Yang Guang left, the ministers were also preparing to leave.
Yuwen Shi looked at Yang Yi coldly.
Yang Yi walked in front of Yuwen Shi and smiled,""State Duke Xu, don't forget our agreement. If I do it, you have to bow to me in the future!”
The blood vessels on Yuwen Shi's forehead throbbed violently. His entire body emitted a chill as he suppressed his anger and said,""It's just your highness 'wishful thinking, this lowly official did not agree!”
He snorted coldly." Your Highness, take care of yourself!"”
Then, Yu Wenshi waved his sleeves and left.
Everyone looked at each other, knowing that Yuwen Shi's imposing manner was suppressed by Yang Yi.
However, this was also within expectations. After all, Yuwen Shi would never make such an absurd bet with Yang Yi. This was a matter of the Yuwen family's face.
Yang Yi smiled as he looked at Yuwen Shi, who was walking away.
After all, Yuwen Shi wasn't as stupid as Yang Fan, so this result was within Yang Yi's expectations.
He had achieved his goal.
With the iron ore, the raw materials for production were sufficient. He only needed to recruit more people to increase his efficiency.
.........
Several days later.
"Your Highness, General Zhang requests an audience!”Zhangsun Wuji said.
Yang Yi was stunned. He raised his eyebrows." General Zhang?”
"It's General Zhang Xutuo!" Zhangsun Wuji laughed.”
Yang Yi's eyes lit up. Although Zhang Xutuo was not famous, he was a brave warrior of Great Sui. Without him, Great Sui would have fallen apart.
Right now, the uprising army was everywhere, and it was Zhang Xutuo's army that was suppressing the uprising army, preventing them from expanding.
Just from the three generals under Zhang Xutuo, Qin Shubao, Cheng Yaojin, and Luo Shixin, it was obvious.
"Where is General Zhang?" Yang Yi asked in a deep voice.”
"I'm waiting in the hall for His Highness to summon me…" Zhangsun Wuji said.
In the side hall.
A man with an ancient appearance and a deep outline was sitting upright. He had a strong back and a stocky waist. His burly body was tall and straight, and there was a hint of vicissitudes between his brows. He also had a domineering aura.
Footsteps sounded.
The man's expression changed, and a handsome man walked in.
Yang Yi smiled." Sorry to keep General Zhang waiting!”
Zhang Xutuo understood. This must be the Crown Prince!
He cupped his hands and said,"I am Zhang Xutuo. Greetings, Your Highness!"”
Yang Yi stretched out his hand to support him." General Zhang, there's no need to be so polite! I've been friends with General Zhang for a long time. Seeing General Zhang today, I'm very comforted!”
Zhang Xutuo's heart warmed, feeling flattered.
Although he was a valiant general of the imperial court, he was not very popular.
After all, he had a tough personality and was difficult to get along with those officials who pretended to be polite.
Therefore, even though he had outstanding military achievements, his official position was not high.
Yang Yi was the respected Crown Prince, and Zhang Xutuo was shocked by his attitude!
Yang Yi smiled." General Zhang, please take a seat. May I know what brings you here today?"”
Zhang Xutuo sat down and stared at Yang Yi with a burning gaze."I just returned to Luoyang a few days ago. I didn't expect the army to have changed. The appearance of horseshoes has increased the fighting strength of the cavalry unit by an unknown amount.”
"General Zhang, you're too kind." Yang Yi smiled.”
Zhang Xutuo hesitated for a moment before saying,""I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince has a new method of smelting steel!”
