Emperor Sui Yang

When a large army employs soldiers, rewards should be given in a timely manner, especially for those who make the first call. This is for the people behind to see. It means that you have seen that the rewards are real, and you have to work hard. The court will not treat you badly. you.

Mai Tiezhang's troops captured six enemy camps along the coast, and captured 4000 people, as well as the enemy general He Shili, and only 800 of them died in battle.

This is a big win.

After Yang Guang received the military report, he was overjoyed, and directly allocated a reward of [-] guan and more than [-] pieces of cloth to reward the soldiers in front.

As for how to reward Mai Tiezhang, under the instigation of many ministers, Yang Guang was conferred a knighthood for the first time.

Duke of Lulong County.

Since Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, he has not been granted a title, and the eyes of all the major families are bleeding.

Everyone hoped that the conquest of Goguryeo would give them a title. As for rewards, they didn't care.

Therefore, Mai Tiezhang, who is the first shot, must start this head. As long as Mai Tiezhang can be knighted, the rest of the troops will also have a chance.

Everyone has worked so hard to come to this place with you, what are you trying to do?The picture is the title.

And Yang Guang naturally understands this truth, adding the title of Mai Tiezhang is also to give hope to the people behind, to put it bluntly, it is to draw a big cake.

As for the enemy general He Shili and the four thousand captives, they will naturally be escorted back, so that the people of the Sui Dynasty will know that the first battle of the Sui Dynasty has already won a complete victory, and the end of the four thousand captives will naturally be sold as slaves. And He Shili is a parade in the streets, the role is to appease people's hearts.

The Duke of Lulong County, with [-] households in Shiyi, cried bitterly when Mai Tiezhang received the canonization at the front line, and knelt down in the direction of Yang Guangxing Hall to thank him.

This trick is more effective than anything else. Those without a title want to be named a title, and those with a title want to be promoted to a higher rank. People like Li Jing are also excited. As the second son in his family, his title was taken by his elder brother Li Duan Well, if he wants to be a knight in this life, it depends on Goguryeo this time.

Building meritorious deeds is now.

He Chou and Li Chun are not idle either. The two pontoon bridges are being erected urgently for landing on the beach. They will have to build another pontoon bridge later. After all, there are more than 200 million people in charge of logistics. Man, how can two bridges be enough?
So they discussed with Deng Hao and planned to rebuild six pontoon bridges.

Since Deng Hao surrendered to the Great Sui Dynasty, he has been serving as an official in the fart place of Liaodong. A southerner must not be able to bear the bitter cold in the north, so he has been trying to find a way to rely on connections to see if he can be transferred.

This place is not far from Bohai County, so he got acquainted with Gao Yu's son Gao Shengdao through an intermediary. He thought that he would have the opportunity to be transferred back to the Central Plains in the future when he was next to the big tree of Duke Dugu, but Gao Yu returned to his hometown.

However, as soon as Gao Yan returned to Bohai, he wrote a letter to Deng Hao, arranging what he should do.

Deng Hao also worked very hard. He followed Gao Yu's arrangement and bought some Sumo people, Mohe people, Goguryeo people, and Fuyu people in the local area, and spent a year to find out the location of half of Goguryeo's mountain city. A very detailed map of Goguryeo was drawn.

This is a great credit.

No one knew that this was arranged by Gao Yan behind the scenes, so the credit should naturally be attributed to Deng Hao.

The front line is so smooth, Deng Hao deserves the most credit, so Li Jing and Tu Wanxu's request for credit is also sent to Yang Guang.

Deng Hao was worshiped as a doctor of Zhengyi and led the prefect of the three counties in Hexi.

"Zhang Xutuo is a general. Right now, there are civil uprisings in the six counties of Shandong, and he is the only one who is recruiting troops to pursue and suppress them. He should be entrusted with a heavy responsibility." Yang Yue has now taken a fancy to Zhang Xutuo and intends to promote him.

Because he felt that under Xuangan's hands, there was really no such talent, and Zhang Xutuo would probably be the prince's man in the future. If Xuangan could make friends with him early, it would be a great help in the future.

In Huaiyuan Town, Yang Yue and Xuan Gan lived in a temporary courtyard.

Yang Xuangan nodded: "I gave the food, he owes me a favor."

Yang Yue's eyes widened, and he said dumbfounded: "You dare to steal favors from the prince? Who asked you to give me the food?"

Yang Xuangan was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly said: "That's not what I mean, after all, I'm the one who pays for the food, right? The crown prince takes the majority, and I take the small one, can't it?"

Yang Yue smiled: "You have to make good use of this little head. You have won the battle a few days ago, and your majesty is in a good mood, so no one has mentioned the Shandong matter, but I will bring it up tomorrow. Please seal Zhang Xu Tuo is the ambassador for the arrest of the six counties in Shandong Province, the envoy holds the festival, and is responsible for countering the rebellion, you can help me push it by the side."

Yang Xuangan frowned and said, "At this juncture, His Majesty is in high spirits, so we're not going to add to His Majesty's troubles by mentioning Shandong affairs?"

"If you don't mention it now, when someone else mentions it, this incense will not belong to you," Yang Yue said:

"This civil uprising in Shandong has a huge momentum. When I was cleaning up discipline in the rear, I found that most of the peasants were bewitched by Wang Bo's ballad, and many of them ran to Shandong. I am afraid that Shandong is going to be a big mess. There are no people who can be used right now. It’s Zhang Xutuo, who can’t give him money or food, and can’t give him some rights? He’s just a prefect of a county now, with a lot of restrictions, and Shandong can only be stabilized if he is given full power to put down the rebellion.”

Yang Xuangan listened very seriously, nodded and said: "The wool comes from the sheep. If there is a chaos in Shandong, the local families will suffer. I can help Zhang Xutuo. When the chaos is settled, I can annex some land in Shandong. In short, I can't pay for it."

"Land, land, you just think about the land," Yang Yue said, "When your father started his career, he didn't care about these things at all. Remember, there are people who have land. You should stabilize Zhang Xutuo for me first, and then , Don’t let the prince know about the annexation of the land, be careful.”

"It can be done!" Xuan Gan said seriously: "I will write to him now and tell him that I will recommend him to control the six counties. As for the future, I can send two thousand pieces and two thousand horses to Shandong to help him. I will also support him with some money and food in the future, but not now, it’s time to give charcoal, and I will help him when he is in the most difficult time."

Yang Yue nodded with a smile: "Finally, I'm enlightened."

In their view, the chaos in Shandong had better be bigger, and the losses of the local aristocratic families should be as heavy as possible, so that they could easily reach out and annex those unowned lands.

Of course, this is secondary, the main thing is to win over Zhang Xutuo, without Zhang Xutuo's help, it is difficult for them to reach into Shandong.

So the most important thing right now is to support Zhang Xutuo.

The next day, Yang Guang held a small wartime meeting in the army village on the outskirts of Huaiyuan.

This military stronghold has a huge area, and it has been expanding. This is what civilian husbands do. There is no need to consume so much manpower, but the emperor lives here, and there are six thousand servants in the palace, too small to let it go.

Yang Guang was in a very good mood. The Tuwanxu tribe had already crossed the river, and the attack on Liaodong City was just a few days away.

After a few more days of grievances, he will be able to move into Liaodong City.

In the past, Yang Guang fought hard in the South and North, but now he can't do it anymore, he is used to being pampered.

The ministers sat in the hall and had breakfast with Yang Guang, and Yang Yue was always looking for opportunities to mention things about Shandong.

After all, it is unpleasant to touch the bad head, but Yang Yue knows that he has to touch the bad head.

But before that, Yang Da gave him a push, and Yang Guang's face, which was originally full of smiles, suddenly became gloomy.

Under the leadership of Great Khan Shibi, the Eastern Turks have entered Khitan and set up camp along the West Liao River, which is located more than 150 miles upstream of the Liao River.

He was originally invited by Yang Guang to watch the battle, why is Yang Guang not happy?
Because the East Turks came with an army of 20.

Is this Nima watching the battle?
The reason why Yang Da knew this number was because he told the truth from the beginning, I brought 20 troops to cheer the Emperor of Sui.

The ones sent by Shibi are also called memorials, because in name, the Eastern Turks were surrendered to the Sui Dynasty, so they were handed over to the province.

Yang Guang was silent for a while, then said with a sneer: "This son is not like his father, I don't like it."

Qimin Khan was very cautious towards Da Sui, he came to Da Sui twice to meet Yang Guang, and was very sincere, but his son, he couldn't do it.

But Yang Guang was too embarrassed to take the initiative to ask the other party to come to the court, otherwise, if Shibi refused, his face would fall to the ground again.

Isn't that what Goguryeo is like?
Yang Da continued: "The minister asked Dou Kang to station troops at the northern foot of Yiwulu Mountain to prevent the Turks."

"There is no need to defend," Yang Guang said with a chuckle, "I have a million soldiers here, how dare he make a mistake?"

Su Wei and Niu Hong looked at each other, feeling helpless.

In fact, Shibi wanted to fight the Sui army in the south, which was unrealistic, because between Khitan and the three counties in Hexi, there was Lengxing Mountain, which belonged to the eastern section of the Yanshan Mountains, which is now called Nuluerhu Mountain.

The Turkic cavalry is going south from here, which is asking for trouble.

But Yang Guang was completely undefended, and he was indeed too arrogant. What if he really came down from here?Where are you going?

Pei Ju Niu Hong and others hurried to persuade him, they knew that the emperor needed a step up, as long as they kept persuading, they could persuade him back.

After a long while, Yang Guangmian was puzzled: "Okay, okay, according to the advice of the ministers, order Dou Kang to go north and set up defenses at the northern end of Yiwulu, but if there is any change, report it in time."

Now everyone is relieved.

Taking advantage of the emperor's bad mood, Yang Yue hurriedly said:

"The turmoil in Shandong is getting bigger and bigger. There are civil uprisings in all six counties. The minister thinks that the deployment should be made early to kill this momentum. At present, only Zhang Xutuo, the prefect of Qi County, can bear the heavy responsibility. I ask him to depose the six counties in Shandong. Arrest the ambassador, save the soldiers and horses of the six counties, and order them to put down the rebellion as soon as possible."

Yang Guang also had a guilty conscience. What happened in Shandong was caused by him alone. Some time ago he also praised Zhang Xutuo. Now that Yang Yue is playing, he will go along with it.

"Just do as Qing said, and the Ministry of Internal History will immediately draft an order."

Lu Chu nodded quickly.

Yang Yue didn't expect that things would go so smoothly, because he didn't know that the food that Guo Yan bought from Jiangdu was originally used for disaster relief in Shandong.

He thought the food was for the army.

He didn't know everything. Yang Su was there before, so he could have guessed it. Unfortunately, Yang Su was gone, and his status in the court was far less than Yang Su's.

Su Wei and Pei Ju knew it. (end of this chapter)
