Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 656: The Defeat of Boerjin
Yang Guang is the commander-in-chief of the three armies. His will represents the will of the entire army. If he had not left and commanded the army to face the enemy with all its strength, the left and right defenses would never have been so vulnerable.

But he ran away, which caused the entire army to be in complete chaos and all running away.

Du Bi was determined to kill Yang Guang, no matter what the price, because he knew that as long as Yang Guang died, the Sui army in the Northern Expedition would be leaderless, and there would be complete chaos, even in the Sui Dynasty. Chaos, because the throne is vacant.

Watching the emperor running south, Du Bi followed suit. The formations on both sides became a mess, with me among you and you among me, split into countless pieces.

It was just a big melee, chaos.

Gradually, the land within a radius of two hundred miles was filled with the sounds of fighting and corpses as far as the eye could see.

The biggest failure of this war was that the Sui army was too concentrated and there was no main guerrilla force deployed on the periphery to resist the enemy dozens of miles away. This would buy Yang Guang in the camp more time to make decisions.

But there is no way, there is not enough food and grass. If a guerrilla cavalry army is deployed on the periphery, eating horses and chewing people will consume too much and cannot afford the supply.

The main reason was that he was careless, thinking that the main force was advancing north, which had eliminated any possibility of being attacked. Yang Yue himself would not have thought that Du Bi would go so smoothly.

South of Dujin Mountain, the main forces of Yu Wenshu and Yu Zhongwen had joined together and had launched a final decisive battle with the Turks, with obvious advantages. But at this time, the news came that Yang Guang's camp was broken and his troops fled south.

Yu Wenshu closed his eyes unwillingly: "Send my general's order to Yu Zhongwen to come to the rear of the Hu'er Hall, and our army will rush to rescue him."

Yang Yue and Yu Juluo looked at each other, silently turned their horses and marched south.

That is the emperor. Even if the Northern Expedition army dies, he cannot die. This is the most basic awareness of every minister.

Also, they had to run away. Once the emperor ran away, it goes without saying that there was no need to count on the logistics. And they went deep alone and were already two thousand miles away from the Sui Kingdom. Without logistics, the whole army would be annihilated.

It’s very difficult to save the driver right now. What should I do?Throw away your helmet and armor, dress lightly, and rush to your death. Only in this way can you have a glimmer of hope.

After receiving General Yuwenshu's order, Yu Zhongwen sighed helplessly: "Unless it's a big deal, Yuwenshu doesn't dare to order me. It's a pity that my main force is going to expedition to Mobei. The success is about to be achieved, but it will fall short."

Yu Shiji said: "What are you saying, Chief Manager? The attack on Your Majesty is all our fault. Your Majesty's suffering is a critical situation for the country. The Turks are just a scabies disease. What's the pity?"

Wei Xuan frowned and said: "Yesterday's battle, Chu Luo was injured by an arrow. If our army concentrates its main force and fights a bloody road straight to the tooth tent, it is expected that we will succeed."

Yu Zhongwen shook his head: "Yu Wenshu asked me to stay behind and cover the main force going south to rescue them. We can no longer fight. Give me my order. Each battalion will withdraw step by step without panic."

The loss on his side was not big, but it was miserable for him to protect his children.

If I withdraw, the enemy army will definitely follow me and pursue me. Most of my troops will be infantry. If this is the case, the entire army will be wiped out.

But the emperor had to save him, and he had to obey the general's order this time, so he ordered the forward troops to continue fighting and not to retreat. He was ready to find an opportunity to escape with the supervising team.

Soldiers do not have the opportunity to know the entire battlefield situation. Whatever the general says is what they say.

The Xiaoguo Army is destined to become cannon fodder this time.

Not many coaches are merciful. When Mai Tiezhang died of his eldest son, he didn't shed a single tear. This is why he was able to rise from a young loser to his current status. Of course, the pain in his heart cannot be explained by outsiders.

He is not a ruthless person and cannot lead troops. Yang Su kills more of his own people than outsiders. This is the reason.

Yang Xian ran fast at first and was not caught. After he learned that his father was going south, he quickly took Luo Yi and the remaining 3000 people under Li Chen's command to run south to join his biological father.

Yang Guang did not dare to run towards Dingxiang County this time because there were many Turks there, so he ran towards Yulin this time and sent someone to notify the Yulin Prefect to come to rescue him quickly.

Along the way, Yang Guang's mood was very complicated, but he would not blame himself, he would only blame the generals for not doing enough. How did you let him sneak in with such a huge Turkic army?

He was already furious. He knew better than anyone else what this defeat meant. However, if he wanted to find the blame for these people, he had to go back alive. He must not offend these generals on the way, otherwise who would On impulse, he might be cruel enough to kill him.

After running for six or seven days, as more and more troops took charge of the rear to block the pursuers, there were less than [-] people around Yang Guang, and everyone was running as fast as they could.

No one would have trouble with their own fate. Pei Yun usually didn't ride a horse very much, but this time he ran faster than anyone else. His riding style was very handsome.

Three more days later, Yang Jian was lucky enough to catch up with his father in a daze. At the same time, Du Bi, with his remaining 6000 Turkic cavalry, also caught up.

Yang Jian knew that if he went back like this this time, he would be guilty of a serious crime, so he volunteered to stay behind to stop the enemy.

Yang Guang was very moved. After all, he was his biological son. No matter how big the mistake he made, he would not have the heart to kill him. Especially when his son risked his life to stop the enemy from behind, Yang Guang was even more worried.

After giving instructions, Yang Guang hugged Yang Jin and continued on his way. It didn't matter if others died, as long as nothing happened to his son and grandson.

After all, there are Li Chen and Luo Yi beside Yang Jian. He can't do it, but these two are fierce. One is Li An's eldest son and the other is Luo Rong's eldest son. They are both from the military system and have been trained since they were young. That's really life-threatening.

Therefore, Yang Jian's cavalry of 3000 men fought back and forth with Du Bi, retreating and fighting on the way.

Seven days later, as he got closer and closer to the border of the Sui Dynasty, Du Bi did not dare to pursue him any more. If he pursued him any more, something would happen not to Yang Guang but to him. In desperation, he could only sigh and lead his army back north.

Yang Guang's first major defeat after taking the throne was just like that.

Of the 50-strong army that returned to the Sui Dynasty, only 20 were left. It was not that more than half were killed, but that too many had fled.

The scariest thing is that in order to run fast, he threw away all his refined armor.

Historically, Yang Guang delivered goods to Goguryeo, but this time he delivered them to the Turks. He was reluctant to assemble them for the Xiaoguo Army, but he got the Turks in vain.

The guards couldn't tell that Lai Hu'er used the Xiaoguo army as cannon fodder, but some people could tell that, as the supervising team, Xiao Mian didn't know that Lai Hu'er's original intention was to lead the super team away. He thought that Lai Hu'er would also Let him be cannon fodder.

I don't want to die, I'm still young.

As a result, he actually led an army of ten thousand people, ignored the general's order to protect his children, broke away from the camp without authorization, and fled south first.

When he withdrew, the entire Eastern Route Army was in chaos. Some people even turned around and called Lai Huer, who almost died. In desperation, he had no choice but to order the withdrawal.

According to the original plan, the [-] Supervisory Team might be able to return safely, but with Xiao Mian messing up like this, there was no hope.

So sometimes, regardless of whether a general is ruthless or ruthless, his decisions are correct most of the time.

Of the 6000 Xiaoguo, those who finally returned to the Sui Kingdom, except for the one Xiao Xian took away, only [-] were left. Some died, some fled.

After returning to the border, Lai Huer directly issued a wanted order to arrest the rebel Xiao Xian, and charged him with treason.Now Xiao Mian had no way out. Originally, he had planned to come back and defend his son, and accuse the other party of wasting the lives of soldiers. But now, he was attacked first.

The 1 people under his command were divided after entering the country. Only [-] people were willing to follow Xiao Mian. After entering Hebei, they completely became a gang of rebels.

This is called losing the whole game with one careless move. Yang Xian's bad move destroyed the entire chessboard.

War is actually like this. A small mistake may lead to the worst results. Yang Guangnan's escape was the turning point of the entire war.

If it weren't for the emperor's personal expedition and a new coach, Yu Wenshu and the three people in front would not care about him. If he dies, he will die and it will not affect the overall situation. However, the emperor cannot ignore it. This is the biggest drawback of the emperor's personal expedition.

I almost won the battle earlier, but in order to save you, it was all over.

It was in September that the capital received the news.

The entire court was silent and lifeless.

Everyone originally hoped for a big victory so that the army returning south could put down the domestic rebellion. But now, this defeated army has become the most unstable factor.

According to the laws of the Great Sui Dynasty, deserting from battle is a capital crime. With so many deserters carrying this crime, what else can they do besides being bandits?
"Li Jing has led his army to the north to greet His Majesty. His Majesty will return to the capital in less than half a month," Su Wei said, even weakly.

Yang Ming said calmly: "Send someone to Jinyang quickly and ask the queen to return to the capital."

At this time, Queen Xiao had to come back quickly. The world was getting more and more chaotic. If she didn't come back, it would be hard to come back.

After that, Yang Ming stood up and said: "Let's disperse the court."

Yang Ming, who was walking slowly on the corridor in the palace, was helpless. He really did not expect that he would be defeated in such a stupid way. He was sure to win because the marching marshal was Yang Guang. He was caught in a fatal attack, resulting in the death of countless soldiers. battlefield.

After such news spreads all over the world, I really don’t know what the situation will be like.

Outside the East Palace, a young general stood there, saluting Yang Ming from a distance. When he walked in, Yang Ming received the look he gave him, so he asked Pei Shuang behind him to wait for Qianniu to come from afar. a little.

"Why is Daoxuan here?" Yang Ming whispered.

Yang Daoxuan, the eldest son of King Cai Yang Zhiji, was the deputy commander of the garrison of the Liangyi Hall of the Imperial Palace, General Hu Benlang, and the commander-in-chief was Ma Laoliu.

Liangyi Hall is where Yang Guang is responsible for handling daily government affairs.

Yang Dao

This boy is Yang Ming's cousin, and he used to play tricks when he was a child, but the relationship is just like that, and Yang Ming doesn't dare to trust him absolutely.

"I understand, please tell uncle, Yang Ming is very grateful," Yang Ming nodded.

Yang Daoxuan just turned around and left.

The main positions in the imperial city are controlled by the Yang clan. Even though Yang Daoxuan is the deputy commander, if something really happens, Ma Laoliu, a person with a foreign surname, cannot be a big leader.

Yang Ming returned to the dormitory with a heavy heart. Yang Yinjiang and other female family members were all here today.

Such a big thing made everyone panic.

"Husband, when will father come back?" Yang Yinjiang greeted her out of the palace and held her husband's arm into the palace.

After Yang Ming sat down, he didn't want to say a word.

Yang Rui also looked at his father nervously.

Pei Shuying hid her face and sobbed. She knew that her son was fine and was beside the emperor, but she was still frightened. Looking back now, she still feels scared.

Yang Ming's eyes fell on Zheng Guanyin.

This woman has been living in the East Palace for two months. She is almost like a servant. She serves Yang Ming every day, but Yang Ming has never touched her.

"You all go out, you stay," Yang Ming pointed at Zheng Guanyin and said.

Yang Yinjiang hurriedly winked at everyone and pulled Chen Shuyi and others who looked reluctant to leave the dormitory.

Yang Ming lazily sat on the back of the chair and said to the other party: "Please me."

Zheng Guanyin was stunned for a moment, and then he crawled over on his knees step by step. He suffered a whole afternoon and was carried out in the evening.

Yang Ming was in a very bad mood. He had never been so angry since time travel. He had to vent his anger. He couldn't let go of other women. Only Zheng Guanyin, who had no emotions, was the most suitable.

How could the other party know where Yang Guang's camp was?Why did it come at such a good time?Hit by accident?It's not impossible. After all, Mobei is too big and there are no proper roads. Where there is water and grass, there are roads. Everyone goes to where there is water, so it is indeed easy to hit them.

At the court meeting, everyone knew that it was Yang Guang's fault, but no one dared to say so, so they could only find the reason from other aspects. So how did Du Bi's main force grasp the timing so accurately?

Yang Ming was also confused. He had no idea about the entire battle. He only knew that Du Bi sneak attacked the emperor's camp and caused a huge defeat. He didn't know the rest of the details.

In fact, there was a river where Yang Guang camped, and many people didn't know what it was called.

Because this river is not always there, it comes and goes, but Yang Yue knows because one of his Turks told him that this river is called Boljin River, and it only takes three to five years to form a river, and it takes two years to form a river. It will dry up inside, and the cycle will begin again.

The Turks knew where the river was, so Yang Guang's position was completely controlled by Du Bi. Du Bi was marching east, west, south and north, just waiting for the opportunity, waiting for Yu Wenshu's main force to get closer and closer to the capital. Jinshan, his best time to attack was when there was no time to rescue him.

Don't underestimate Yang Yue. Once this person plans something with all his strength, the possibility of success is very high.

The most awesome thing is that he was the one who informed Yang Guang to beware of attacking the camp.

He had already taken it out, but Yu Wenshu had something detailed to do in Turks, and Yu Juluo heard about it at that time.

　Today is the first update. Let me explain, brothers, I am not trying to speed up the completion of this book, or prepare a new book. It’s nothing. As you all know, I have never stopped updating except for the ten-day break when I was pregnant. There is indeed something going on this week. I can’t tell you what it is specifically. I’m not treating my brothers as outsiders. It’s really hard to talk about. The time I have every day is very limited. I’d like to apologize to my brothers. After all, I’m married and have children. There are a lot of trivial matters at home. , alas, the troubles of adults.
