Emperor Sui Yang

In the Sui Dynasty, the whole country once again used troops. The Eastern Turks were very frightened. At first, Princess Kehe Dunyicheng kept making peace and hoped that the court would not attack the Turks. Yang Guang also replied: It's not that I want to fight them, but They attacked Guanzhong first, and I am seeking revenge.

This time the 50-strong army in the Northern Expedition, even the Eastern Route Army, which had the worst quality of soldiers, was all equipped with refined weapons.

Three directions and three main forces oppressed the East Turks. For a country that had just suffered a huge defeat and the death of its Khan, the shock was unprecedentedly terrifying.

There are almost no cities in the Eastern Turks. The larger gathering places are also endless tents. The people live in this way, wherever they are suitable for grazing, they are home.

The new Khan, also named Chu Luo, originally wanted to avoid the sharp attack of the Sui Dynasty, but after weighing it, he decided not to hide, because once Dujin Mountain's tent was breached, he would no longer be a Khan. At that time, other tribal leaders would not obey him, and the Eastern Turks would immediately fall apart.

Therefore, the Eastern Turks' defense deployment this time is very clear. All the armies are gathering at Dujin Mountain. They must not be dispersed anymore. If you, Sui Dynasty, have the ability to break through my more than 60 cavalry, then I will admit defeat.

Regarding the mobilization and deployment of the Turks, the rangers sent out by the Great Sui Dynasty have been bringing back the latest news. The main force of the three routes that are preparing to leave is also refining the combat strategy.

The three places are more than 2000 miles away from the Eastern Turks' tent, so the supply line will inevitably be stretched very long.

Starting from Luoyang, all the main passages to the north are filled with grain transport troops, connected end to end, in an endless stream.

Yang Guang arrived in Jinyang in April. Empress Xiao and her family members stayed in Jinyang Palace. He took Yang Jin to the north because the main army was to be assembled in Dingxiang County.

Historically, the emperor personally conquered Mobei, namely Zhu Di and this time Yang Guang.

Shandong was the first to break out, and rebels spread almost everywhere. Du Fuwei gathered [-] people and left Changbai Mountain to go south, ravaging the countryside along the way, burning, killing and looting.

Not long after he left, two more bandit leaders emerged in Changbai Mountain, one named Zuo Caixiang and the other named Li Zitong.

Zuo Caixiang called himself Boshangong and took the rebel army directly to Qi County to fight with Zhang Xutuo. Seeing that he was so awesome, Li Zitong led his army to rely on the other side. After the two rebel armies joined forces, they recruited refugees extensively. For a month Soon a rebel army of 3 people was formed, known to the outside world as an army of [-] people, and went to defeat Zhang Xutuo in a mighty manner.

Du Fuwei, who went south, was not idle either. He subdued the rebel Miao Haichao tribe in Xiapi County (Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province) and prepared to attack Liuhe County in Jiangdu County.

A rebel leader named Zhao Pozhen also emerged in Haining County, Jiangdu County.

Jiangdu immediately panicked.

In this case, Yang Ming can mobilize his troops, but he doesn't know yet.

After returning home, Zheng Guanyin changed her mind. She fell in love with the prince. Although the prince didn't seem to be interested in her, the young girl in love was already impressed by the prince's charm. She hoped that the clan could help her to enter the East Palace smoothly.

The last person responsible for coming forward was Zheng Shanguo, the minister of Dali Temple, but Yang Ming ignored him because there was military information coming from Luoyang. Zhai Rang of Wagang Village had entered Xingyang with [-] troops.

"Xingyang cannot be lost, otherwise the rebels will approach Xingluocang. The grain and grass here are being diverted to the north. Once they are invaded, the entire army will have logistical problems." In the court, the ministers were already anxious.

Luoyang is the hub, so there must be no problems. Xingyang is just northeast of Luoyang, and the Banzhu Wharf, the largest of the canal, is also here, so no mistakes can be made.

"Order Yang Xuanzang, Duke of Huainan County, to mobilize 1 garrison troops from the eastern capital to go to Xingyang to quell the rebellion," Yang Ming gave the order very decisively.

Now Zhai Rang could not conquer Xingyang City, but instead plundered the merchants and government officials on the canal.

Before reporting to the court, Huangfu Wuyi was left in Dongdu and had sent 4000 troops to exterminate the rebels along the canal. He was the garrison of Dongdu and had the right to mobilize troops.

What they fear most now is the defeat of the imperial army, because if they lose, the refined weapons in their hands will fall into the hands of the rebels, and it will be difficult to fight at that time.

"What the Wagang thieves looted was Canal's military rations, and Canal's military rations were supplied to protect the children," Cui Zhongfang frowned and said, "I'm afraid there will be a problem with the logistics of protecting the children. Xuangan should be ordered to provide all possible protection."

Yang Ming said calmly: "I will definitely give orders, but this responsibility cannot fall entirely on Xuangan alone. How did Yang Qingzhi, the prefect of Xingyang, do it? How could he let the rebels ravage the county? Give him the order, Recruit troops on the spot. If the thieves are still unable to be wiped out within a month, I will ask him to hold him accountable."

King Xun Yang Qingzhi is the son of King Yang Hong of Hejian. He is now the governor of Xingyang. There are two military mansions in Xingyang with nearly 3000 permanent soldiers. They can definitely fight against the Wagang army.

After all, they were equipped with refined weapons, but the rebels didn't even have any serious weapons. As a result, General Yang Qingzhi transferred all his soldiers into Xingyang City to protect the old Zheng family.

Now the atmosphere in the court has become very different. Everyone's face is worried. Although everyone expected civil unrest in advance, they did not expect it to happen so soon.

The army had just left when such a large group of rebels appeared around Luoyang, and they dared to rob the army of food.

Then Hebei and Shandong may also have troubles.

In fact, it already exists, but the capital is far away, and reporting the military situation of the rebels is still on the way.

Last year, everyone was still not like this.Yang Ming did not show any panic, but handled other government affairs in an orderly manner. He was now the backbone. If he panicked, the capital would have problems.

After the next court, Yang Ming went to the East Palace to hold a meeting. The atmosphere here was very different from that in the court. After all, the East Palace was mostly populated by young people, and young people had never seen any big storms and waves, so they did not see the seriousness of the matter so clearly.

"Xingyang is the hinterland of the Central Plains. The presence of rebels here is a bad sign," Prince Xian Ma Liu Xuan said: "As time goes by, I am afraid that rebels will appear in various places. They should respond to each other from afar and eliminate them as quickly as possible."

In everything, I am most afraid of having a leader, no matter good or bad, because taking the lead requires courage. The Wagang Army is in Henan, in the middle of the world. If they rebel like this, news will spread in all directions.

People in other places who are determined to rebel will become more courageous as soon as they hear the news, so Liu Xuan's concerns are spot on.

Fang Xuanling said: "There is another Du Fuwei in Shandong. Now it seems that the other party has also grown stronger. Now there are refugees everywhere, and they are easily recruited by the rebels. The army is in the north and it is difficult to take care of it. All the places can only guard the city. The main road to the granary will last until the army returns."

In fact, there is no problem with this method. This is ancient times. Most of the time when marching and fighting, take the Wagang Army as an example. It is not easy for them to capture Xingyang. Attacking Luoyang is even more unthinkable. Right now The only way to ensure that the army does not disperse is by looting the canal.

Looting the canal is not that easy. The grain ships are all guarded. Especially at this time, Yang Xuangan, as the commander-in-chief of logistics, is not a simple man, and will increase the security of the ships with large capacity.

As long as the rebels are compressed into one county, they won't be able to achieve much success. The worst thing they can do is run around. Once they run away, more refugees will be gathered and their strength will be further strengthened.

Then the counties bordering Xingyang must make preparations in advance and transport all supplies to the city so that the rebels have nowhere to rob.

Huangfu Wuyi is doing this.

Without the historical situation where Xuangan attacked Luoyang and greatly consumed the Luoyang defenders, no rebel army could capture Luoyang. Historically, Wang Shichong was in Luoyang and was sent there by Yang Guang.

In the end, the failure to hold Li Shimin was due to the situation. Under normal circumstances, Luoyang would not be able to defeat him.

Yang Ming, who was in a bad mood, did not show his emotions on his face, but when he returned to Yichun Palace, Pei Shuying was trying to show him off.

In fact, he is angry.

She didn't blame her husband for not leaving her son behind, but she blamed her husband for not coming to comfort her for so many days.

Yang Ming was really too lazy to explain anything now, so he turned around and left.

Pei Shuying didn't know what was happening outside. If she knew, she would only comfort her husband.

But she was very smart. She knew something must be wrong, so she went to Yang Yinjiang to inquire about the situation.

"Is it so serious? There are rebels in Xingyang?" Pei Shuying was dumbfounded. She must know that her son Yang Jin's original fiefdom was in Xingyang. She had visited it in person. That place was particularly prosperous. It was the most prosperous place in Henan except Luoyang. ’s second largest trade hub.

why?Because Xingyang was the capital of Henan Province in later generations, Zhengzhou.

Yang Yinjiang said helplessly: "His Royal Highness has been in a bad mood recently. He tries to keep calm in front of others. When he comes back, we wives must try our best to comfort him. Didn't you see that he hasn't come to my place recently? Didn't I say anything?"

Pei Shuying sighed: "It's my fault. I was having a bad temper just now. Is Gao Yue really so charming? Why does His Highness always go to her every time he is in a bad mood?"

"Perhaps it's because Gao Yue is alone. Your Highness will not think too much when he is with him," Yang Yinjiang said with a smile: "Unlike when you see us, you will always think of your children or our grandfather."

Pei Shuying nodded: "When you see things, you miss people. When you see people, you see things. I understand."

After saying that, she left in a hurry. She wanted to apologize to her husband. The couple had no overnight feud. She couldn't sleep unless she made it clear tonight.

In Pei Shuying's eyes, her husband is far more important than her son.

"Shh~~ don't report," Pei Shuying pressed her palms to signal the chambermaid standing outside to be quiet. Then she stepped lightly and stood outside the dormitory.

In fact, with her background, she would not do such an impolite thing, but from the sounds coming from the room, it was obvious that Yang Ming was busy. After Pei Shuying eavesdropped for a while, she signaled all the servants to leave, leaving only the palace maids.

Then she quietly opened the door of the palace, walked in alone, crept around the corridor, and entered the depths of the bedroom. Then she hid outside the corridor by the faint candlelight and watched with interest her husband as he was chatting with others. What about women.

She suddenly understood why her husband always came here.

Yes, among Yang Ming's women, Pei Shuying is the one who knows the least about sex. The key is that she refuses to learn.

But today, her mentality changed, and after a while, she quietly left again.
