Emperor Sui Yang

A front, starting from Wuwei to Longxi, a distance of nearly a thousand miles, the Eastern and Western Turks have been divided into the Qibi Geling and Kangsheoli tribes at the rear, the Yehu tribe of the middle line blocked by Yang Xuanting, and the Yehu tribe that has entered Longxi The beginning of the county and the main force of Shekui.

There was a fight all over the west exit passage of the Great Sui Dynasty.

Guards recruited by the military offices along the way were also dragged onto the battlefield. The largest war in the country since Yang Guang succeeded to the throne began.

Yuwenshu's defense line was very stable and effectively withstood the impact of the main Turkic forces. The main forces from Guanzhong were also filling in continuously. The logistics and military supplies were forcibly borrowed from the private sector, and the supply was continuous. Shanxi's soldiers also crossed the Yellow River. , you can reach the capital within four days.

In Luoyang, King Cai Yang Zhiji personally led an army of [-] people on an emergency march towards the capital.

It is completely impossible for the East and West Turks to invade Daxing, not to mention 50, not even 100 million.

Your cavalry cannot be used at all in Guanzhong.

Yu Wenshu was determined to kill Shi Bi. He was not afraid of Shi Bi betraying him now because he was the marching marshal. If Shi Bi now said that he had connections with the East Turks, no one would believe it. Everyone would just think that this was the case. They are slandering the Sui coach.

And the beginning has always been a thorn in Yu Wenshu's heart. Now the God-given opportunity has come, the opportunity to kill and silence.

Huining County, Longxi County, Pingliang County, and Tianshui County have all been lost, but it doesn't matter, as long as you can't enter Guanzhong, no matter how much space you occupy, it will be in vain.

The main Turkic force of more than 30 people was in full swing with Yu Wenshu and Wei Xuanqian in Fufeng County and Anding County.

Yu Wenshu did not attack, but relied on the strong cities and passes here to deal with the enemy. He knew very well that he had been defeated from the beginning and could not survive for a few days without logistical supplies.

Just wait until the opponent is in chaos due to a shortage of food and grass, and that is the time for him to counterattack.

In late June, the East Turkic cavalry, which had been unable to conquer for a long time, took the lead in withdrawing from the battlefield. They went north from Pingliang County and fled north along the Yellow River. Shegui was unlucky. He did not dare to follow Shibi and ran north. The north was not his home. .

If he went north and entered the Eastern Turks, he was afraid that Shibi would give him a break. After all, one of his main forces, Tongye Hubu, was blocked in Jincheng County.

He originally thought that he was definitely doomed, but he found that the main force of the Sui army had gone north to pursue the enemy. God helped me, so Shekui hurriedly led the defeated army of less than [-] people and retreated to the west in a panic.

When Xuanting saw this posture, he knew that the Eastern and Western Turks were finished, but he did not dare to be caught between Tongyehu and Shekui, so he could only withdraw from Jincheng and retreat to Lintao County to make way for the fleeing Turks. a path.

Don't chase the poor enemy, besides, he can't catch up.

The same goes for Li Jing. He and Cui Hongsheng certainly couldn't stop so many people. After all, news came from the direction of Guanzhong that Yu Wenshu was not hanging up She Gu from behind, so he didn't dare to stop him, so he made an expulsion posture and hung up A small group of enemy troops fought for a month.

In just this month, Yang Yuanqing, the chosen son, ran into Shekui's personal guards, which numbered about 6000 to [-] people.

This guy was really lucky. When fighting Goguryeo, he chased Gao Dayang, and when fighting the Western Turks, he encountered Shekui.

The elite cavalry of 2000 people killed Shegui at the cost of more than half of them. He himself escaped from the range of the defeated Turkic army with only 200 people and went to Guanzhong happily. On the way, he met another person in a village. When they arrived at Su Lie, there were only four people left.

"I won't let you this time. You have a wife and I haven't yet," Yang Yuanqing, who had not eaten enough for a month, looked at Su Lie who looked embarrassed and said with a smile.

The team dismounted in the village and planned to rest before heading to the capital.

Su Lie was relieved when he learned that the Western Turkic army had fled. He had been hiding here for two months and did not dare to go out because every day he could hear villagers saying that groups of barbarian cavalry were coming from the village. go through.

Although he has changed into civilian clothes, he still does not dare to risk returning to Beijing. My son is still young and my wife is still waiting for me. I can't take this risk.

In fact, Yang Yuanqing had a wife who gave birth to two sons, but they got divorced. His ex-wife was Su Kui's daughter. The two couldn't get along and often fought.

This marriage is a serious match, but after all, Yang Yuanqing is one of the most noble sons in the capital. He has a chauvinistic personality and can't get rid of the dirt in his eyes. His wife also has a strong personality. After all, she is Su Wei's granddaughter, and she also has tempered.

It's a good time to get together and part ways.

Now Yang Yuanqing has fallen in love with Xiao Yu's eldest daughter again. You know, Xiao Yu's eldest daughter is a nun.

The old Xiao family is very religious, even more pious than Yang Jian and his wife.

There are 480 temples and towers in the mist of the Southern Dynasties. This Southern Dynasty refers to the Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen regimes. Among them, the Xiao family of the Liang Dynasty believed in Buddhism the most.

Xiao Yan, the founding emperor of Liang Dynasty, had become a monk four times. Except for the first time, the officials of the Liang Dynasty spent [-] million, [-] million and [-] million to redeem him for the second, third and fourth times. The treasury has been drained.

Whether he believes in Buddhism or wants money is a bit unclear.

The historical evaluation is: There are more than [-] Buddhist temples in Duxia, which are extremely magnificent, with more than [-] monks and nuns, and rich assets.

Xiao Yu is also a strange person. Although there is an eternal saying in history by Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty: "The strong wind knows the strong grass, the rough and turbulent know the honest minister, but it cannot change that he is a special person."Historically, all of his three daughters became nuns. The eldest daughter became a nun at the age of three, the second daughter became a nun at the age of 13, and the third daughter became a nun at the age of 11.

At present, Xiao Yu's third daughter has not yet been born, and the second daughter has not yet become a monk, but the eldest daughter, Xiao Ruyuan, has already become a monk and is known as Master Falue.

Yang Xuanting just fell in love with her, because he was doing Qianniu Preparation in the East Palace and knew Xiao Ruyuan's brother Xiao Rui. He knew that this was the case, so he went to Ganye Temple to meet him. Well, it was love at first sight.

Ganye Temple is located in a mountain [-] miles northwest of the capital. It was built in the ninth year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign. Wu Zetian worked as a nun here.

If she were not a nun, it would be a good match, but if she became a nun, it would not be easy for her to return to secular life.

It's not a problem of money, Yang Yuanqing is not short of money, it's a problem of Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu is not happy.

"After talking for a long time, you don't know the situation in the east," Su Lie said.

Yang Yuanqing squatted down and said with a smile: "I killed all Shekui, and you saw the heads, but I did not see the wolf flag of the East Turks. Maybe they are still outside Jingzhao. Anyway, the West Turks are finished." ”

Su Lie nodded: "Then early tomorrow morning, let's go around to the south, walk through the mountains, and circle back to the capital."

Yang Yuanqing continued: "Your boy has survived this time, and he has done a great job after returning. We two brothers can't charge into battle like this anymore. The older we get, the more afraid of death we are. This time I finally understand. My father usually You are right to scold me. If I go on an expedition in the future, I will have to become a marching general and never do the vanguard job again. It’s too life-threatening."

Su Lie was also reborn after the disaster and sighed: "I don't want to either, but I haven't repaid the prince's great kindness yet."

"Idiot, you can repay your kindness while you are alive. How can you repay your kindness after you die? Remember from now on, don't volunteer for such a life-threatening job," Yang Yuanqing complained:
"If you don't give me a marching commander next time, I will definitely not go out. You see, Cui Hongsheng and Yang Xuanting are in charge of the central army, and they have the opportunity to run away if they are defeated. What are we two brothers doing? I But you can’t cut off the incest for my father.”

Su Lie smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Four days later, the two returned to the capital smoothly.

Su Lie's wife Pei Shu was crying to death. After her husband's army was wiped out, he had not seen anyone dead or dead for two months. His son was still too young. If they were the only orphans and widows left, how would they live in the future?

Shekui's head was hung on the Mingde Gate. Yang Yuanqing's reputation spread throughout the capital. He had surpassed Yang Xuanting and Yu Wenji and became the most powerful general in Guanzhong. This kid was only 23 years old this year. After he came back, he was directly banned. Shangzhu country.

I couldn't give him a title, but in the future there would be a duke who could attack him, so the court rewarded him with fifty thousand guan.

In the Western Turks, Tong Yehu led the remnants of his troops to escape back to the Western Regions. The leader of Tiele, Qibi Geling, was captured. As for Kang Sheoli, he also escaped smoothly.

Li Jing continued to lead the army to Gaochang State.

At the beginning, he was chased and beaten by Yu Wenshu all the way, and was blocked in Yulin County. He was caught up by Yu Wenshu's Yin Shishi and beheaded.

At this point, the Eastern and Western Turkic coalition forces were completely defeated, and the two Khans were killed at the same time.

On the Sui side, there were heavy casualties, with 1000 dead, [-] wounded, and more than [-] deserters.

All deserters were killed.

At the end of August, when Yu Wenshu's master returned to the court, Yang Ming personally led him into the city outside the capital.

Yang Ming ordered him to rest for three days and hold a banquet for the heroes in Daxing Hall. Yuwenshu's prestige reached its peak, surpassing Lai Hu'er and becoming the No. 1 military official.

"The memorial reporting the victory has been sent to Jiangdu. Duke Xu is waiting for your majesty to reward you," Yang Ming took the initiative to raise his glass in the main hall.

Yuwenshu stood up quickly: "It is my duty to share your Majesty's worries and serve the prince. I dare not take credit."

Shi Bi has died, and Yu Wenshu no longer has any serious worries. Now in the Sui Dynasty, no one can touch him.

And he also knew very well that this was the opportunity given to him by Yang Ming. If he hadn't performed well and kept getting closer to Chen Shuyi, he would not have been allowed to command the troops this time.

Yang Yue also laughed and said: "I thought that Xu Gong had no title, but in addition to Goguryeo, if you make new achievements, you will definitely have a place among the three Dukes."

In the Great Sui Dynasty right now, all three divisions and three divisions were idle.

These six positions are top honorary titles. Those who rank among the three princes must be saluted by the prince when he sees them.

Does Yu Wenshu have a chance?Yes, because he is a member of the emperor, there is nothing to say about his loyalty to Yang Guang. Once he is successfully granted the title, Yu Wenshu will be on an equal footing with Su Wei and Pei Ju in the court, and he has one more advantage, that is military.

In other words, if he is granted the title of Sangong, he will surpass Su Wei and Pei Ju and firmly occupy the No. 1 position in the court.
