Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 662: Release the people from hanging upside down
Yang Yuanqing once told Su Lie that if he doesn't give me a marching general manager again, I will definitely not do it.

As a result, he was slapped in the face so quickly. He only had two thousand cavalry under his command, and he was still doing his job, so he had to risk his life.

But this time, he was willing to do it. I was a vanguard pawn under my brother-in-law, which was equivalent to being the commander-in-chief of the march.

The left and right Yiwei camp has been very busy recently. The elites assigned to Yang Ming are preparing, sharpening their weapons, testing their armor, and maintaining their horses and equipment.

Wear a layer of cotton clothing under the armor to keep warm, and put on another layer outside the armor to block the wind. After all, it is already November.

The military situation waits for no one, and we cannot stop suppressing the rebellion just because it is winter.

"Crossbow, quiver, shield, horizontal sword, sharpening stone, knot-breaking awl, felt hat, felt clothing, leggings, thirty arrows, nine dou of wheat rice, three dou of rice, infantry sword, cavalry lance, spear, "Check everything, there should be no leaks." Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were responsible for the preparations before departure in the camp.

In the barracks, brothers Yang Xuanting and Yang Xunzong received Yang Ming's general order, and they set off first to Huayin County to receive Song Laosheng's elite troops stationed there.

The two of them are better at fighting each other than the other. Although Xuan Zong’s appearance rate is not high, his nickname is Little Overlord, which is quite bluffing.

Yang Yuanqing is so awesome because of the family tradition. His two uncles followed the barbaric military way, and Yang Yuanqing was also trained under the influence.

Fang Xuanling said to brother Yang Xuanting: "Your Highness has an order. When the two generals are marching along the way, they should pay more attention to the post stations and pavilions to ensure that communications are safe. The transmission of military information is the top priority. We must first protect the capital and the east." There can be no problems with the communication between the capitals."

Yang Xuanzang nodded: "So, after we accept His Highness's mission, we can go straight to Luoyang?"

Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "Huayin County and Hongnong County are the only two supply points. After passing Hongnong, there is a wave of rebels in Yiyang County. The two generals are responsible for clearing them out. What your Highness means is , leave no one alive, after all, this place is near the east capital, Yu Juluo has no time to deal with these small groups of bandits now."

"I understand, the small group of thieves needs to be annihilated as soon as possible to prevent them from becoming powerful, so as to ensure that the post road is not lost," Yang Xuanzang nodded.

Then, Fang Xuanling poured a glass of practice wine for each of them, raised his glass and said:

"Then I wish you two generals a safe journey."

The Xuanting brothers drank all their wine, cupped their hands, and left the lobby.

There are 500 troops under their command, and the equipment is better than that of the military government. They are all carefully selected by Yang Yuejing.

"Lao San, I am accompanying His Highness on this expedition. My uncle has told me that at least one person from you and me and Yuan Qing must stay by His Highness' side to ensure His Highness's safety." Yang Xuanzong said: "Three of us are dead, and we cannot let His Highness have any chance of death." Loss is related to the prosperity and decline of the family, so be careful."

Yang Xuanting nodded: "Second brother, don't worry. The prince-general is united in this expedition. It can be said that there is no possibility of defeat. This boy Yuan Qing is extremely favored by His Highness. It is most suitable for him to stay. I have already told him ”

In fact, leaving Yang Yuanqing to stay with Yang Ming was also for Yuan Qing's good, because the family was where the eldest son and grandson would inherit the family.

The kinship relationship in ancient times was so strong that later generations could not imagine it. Perhaps one of the reasons is that this was an era when men had the final say.

The two men got on their horses, followed by five hundred soldiers, with long quivers tied on their backs. They were fully armed and looked very mighty and majestic.

The quiver is only a little shorter than the arrow, just leave a feather for easy grasping. If it is too short, it will be easily thrown out when marching.

The soldiers who saw them off also cheered loudly, which was regarded as a grand march for them.

Yang Xuanzong was full of energy and grabbed a dozen golden beans from his waist:
"If you have a life to earn, you must also have a life flower. Remember your military exploits. If you kill 20 people, you will be rewarded with a bean."

After saying that, he threw out all the golden beans in his hand, and the guards immediately came forward to grab them.

In other words, you can only show off if you have money.

The whips sounded, and Brother Xuanzang gave a low shout, leading five hundred cavalrymen out of the camp and heading east.

Shi Huaiyi and Pei Xizai returned to Beijing. The former was Shi Wansui's son and was now the Duke of Taiping County. He also had an uncle, Shi Wanbao, with him during this expedition.

Pei Xizai was responsible for supervising the war. He had been with Yang Ming, and had arranged to go to Bashu since he was a Fa Cao. He was also the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment in Xingtai. He had a criminal background and was ruthless and ruthless.

Only this kind of person can be responsible for supervising the war.

Basically, it can be seen that Yang Ming's team is dominated by the Hongnong Yang, Hedong Pei, and Shi Wansui factions. These three families are Yang Ming's absolute own.

"You have to set off early. I have already said hello to Yujuluo. After arriving in Luoyang, you, Song Laosheng and Shi Wanbao will lead an infantry of [-] people, cross Xingyang, and enter Jijun, Hebei. The Duke of Xiu, Li Jing, is now leading Ji The prefect of the county is struggling to support us. You must march quickly, Pei Xingyan will be your flank."

In the East Palace, Yang Ming ordered Shi Huaiyi.

Shi Huaiyi nodded and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will rush to Hebei as quickly as possible."

"Be prepared to keep out the cold. It's the twelfth lunar month when you arrive in Hebei. I'm tired of the bandits. Don't give them the chance to attack Wei County (Jun County, Henan), the capital of Ji County. They will defend Ji County and wait for my army to arrive," Yang Ming said.

Jijun is the area around Hebi City in Henan. In the Sui Dynasty, it belonged to Jizhou, that is, Hebei. Although there is no administrative establishment of Jizhou now, after all, this view has been like this since ancient times. It is one of the nine states and cannot be changed. In later generations, it is also the abbreviation of Hebei Province. this.

"The last general takes orders!" Shi Huaiyi said with cupped hands.He, Song Laosheng, and Shi Wanbao were to lead the infantry. The infantry marched slowly, so they had to start early.

In fact, Yang Ming was slower, because he still had to carry the baggage, but he would not go to the battlefield in person, so it didn't matter if he was slower, but the contact with the generals of the various ministries could not be broken.

At the court meeting, everyone was busy working in full swing. Others were sending troops, and perhaps the ministries dared to neglect it. The prince himself was recruiting troops, so everyone had to work overtime and did not dare to be careless at all.

The Ministry of War is the busiest. Although they cannot control the military government, they are in charge of the preparations and logistics for the expedition.

The generals who are still in the capital have been summoned by Yang Guang and have entered the main hall.

Including the civil servants, they are all now wearing armor.

In fact, you are not allowed to wear armor to the temple in normal times. Isn’t it time to leave now?
"First conquer Hebei, then flatten Shandong, and sweep the south of the Yangtze River to achieve great success. I have suppressed the chaos caused by bandits and bandits all over the world. You should adhere to my will and relieve the people from hanging upside down. When the success is achieved, history will wait for it." Yang Guang stood up road.

"I obey!" Everyone saluted.

Yang Guang looked at his son and indicated that he had anything else to say.

Yang Ming is wearing a set of refined Mingguang armor tailor-made for him by the Hedong refinery. His shoulders are made of tiger heads, and there are ear protection hanging on both sides of the helmet. He is wearing a bright red cloak, with a straight collar, a collar, open to the left and right, and hanging on the waist. Hengdao, holding the banner in his hand.

46-year-old Yang Guang looked in his eyes and seemed to see his 26-year-old self.

Yang Ming turned around and said to everyone:
"Military orders are like mountains, and military law is ruthless. If you disobey orders and miss the opportunity to fight, you will be charged with disobedience and will be severely punished. This expedition is for your majesty and for the common people. There will be victory but no defeat. All generals will remember it."

Yang Xian curled his lips, nonchalantly, stop beeping and leave quickly.

On November [-], Yang Ming's army set off.

The eastern capital of Luoyang.

"Zhang Xutuo has entered Hebei, and all the chaos in Shandong are coming towards Luoyang. It's hard to stop them," Huangfu Wuyi sighed in the temporary governor's house in the city.

They are not qualified to go to the Imperial City for meetings, that is Yang Guang's territory.

Pei Hongce frowned and said: "Rong Gong is unable to come from the north. Zhang Xutuo's move is to open up a passage for Rong Gong to go south so that we can meet up. We must also fight north."

"The truth is this," Dugu Zhuan said: "This is the eastern capital, and there is absolutely no room for error. The thieves in Shandong have already supported Li Deyi in Dongping as the bandit commander. Now more than [-] people are rushing towards Henan. How can we divide our forces and go north? Does Luoyang not want it?"

Why attack Luoyang? Because there are four warehouses in Luoyang, where is the food?

Luoyang Prime Minister Wuhua said: "The prince should send out troops soon. When the prince arrives in the east capital, we can have our hands free. By then the prince will be in Luoyang, and Chief Fish will lead the army north to pacify Hebei as soon as possible. Then the bandits in Shandong will not be able to do anything. Scared."

Yu Juluo nodded: "We are definitely going north. This is not because I am arrogant. Even if a hundred thousand elites come to attack Luoyang City, they will not be able to get in, let alone some homeless bandits. If I go north, I will face Wagang directly. The thieves, these are all civilians in Yuzhou, the soldiers may not be ruthless, in fact, the most suitable thing is for the elite from Guanzhong brought by the prince to go north to suppress the thieves."

Dugu Zuan frowned and said, "The prince can't go. Luoyang is the center of the world. It is the prince's duty to lead all parties from afar."

Yujuluo frowned and said nothing more.

People from Henan can't fight against people from Henan. Zhai Rang's team mainly consists of Dongjun, Liangjun and Xingyang, which are very close to Luoyang and are almost neighbors.

It is equivalent to Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, and Shangqiu teaming up to attack Luoyang. How to fight this?They all spoke Henan dialect, and they might even be connected to relatives.

China has had regional conflicts since ancient times, but conflicts within regions are rare.

At this time, military information came. Yang Xuanting and Yang Xunzong entered the boundaries of Yiyang County and went straight to Xiong'er Mountain in the south of the county to wipe out the bandits.

"What did Xuanting say?" Dugu Zuan asked the messenger.

The messenger said: "The prince ordered that the first priority is to destroy the thieves in Hebei, but Mr. Yu doesn't need to move. Just guard the surrounding areas of Luoyang."

Yu Juluo breathed a sigh of relief: "The prince is wise."

Yang Yichen, who had already rushed to Luoyang to assist, nodded: "This is the best. Luoyang is made of copper and iron. As long as you hold on with peace of mind, there is no possibility of losing it. On the other side of Xingyang, Qu Tutong has gone, and the King of Xi (Yang Qingzhi) has no troops. It’s better to have a general in charge.”

Luoyang is the capital of the East, and Yang Guang has sent several generals to guard Luoyang, including Yang Yichen, Qu Tutong, Dou Kang, Tu Wanxu, and Li Jing who went to Jijun.

After spending so much money to build Luoyang, Yang Guang couldn't bear to suffer damage here.

From a political perspective, there absolutely cannot be any problems here.

　I went to vaccinate my son in the morning. After parking the car, the car next door opened the door and hit my door. Then I called the 4S shop and asked how much it would cost to repair it. The 4S shop said it would cost 500 for spray painting and 100 for the reinforcement. The perpetrator would come directly. He said: I won’t give it, so you can call the police, and then I will call the police.
