Emperor Sui Yang

The matter of Yang Jian going south to Jiangdu has been discussed for three days.

The resistance was greatest on the first day, a little better on the second day, and almost the same on the third day. This was almost like making a big effort, then weakening, or exhausting all three. No one had the energy to oppose it.

Cui Zhongfang was so angry that he lay down on the bed and couldn't get up.

Originally, everyone recommended Yang Gongren or Wei Zhen to temporarily take this position, but Yang Guang preferred Yuwenshu, and others could not compete. After all, Yuwenshu's current level was too high.

But Yu Wenshu made it clear. They must not cross the crown prince, and must return to the crown prince. He knows better than anyone that once they cross the crown prince, the generals below will not be happy, and the ministers in the court will not agree.

Take a look at the general candidates everyone has chosen:
Wei Xuan, Shi Wanshou, Yu Wenhua and his brothers, Wang Shichong, Luo Yi, Li Chen, Shen Lun, Zhou Zhongmo, Zhou Zhongan, half of them are princes.

Yang Guang appointed Yang Jin as the general manager of the Jiangnan Road March, Chief Shi Yuwenshu, Sima Weiyunqi, and Cui Hongjun joined the army.

Did you see that, Yang Guang also knew that his second son was a great man, and the help he arranged was good.

It is tantamount to going down to share the merits of the prince, otherwise the prince will rebel against the world and his power will skyrocket, which will be difficult for Yang Guang to accept.

Although they are nominally under the control of the Grand Marshal of the Army, one is in the north and the other is in the south. It is not easy to control them.

A group of Yang Jianshuang's staff who had been dismissed were recruited back by him. Through the expedition, he recruited another two thousand Buqu, Yu Wenshu and others. After five days of preparation, they went to Luoyang.

Yang Guang agreed to let him use Hanjiacang, and Dugu Zuan would have to make up for it. As for how to make up for it, that was Dugu Zuan's business.

Yang Ming wanted to strengthen himself by countering the rebellion, but Yang Guang also guarded against him. Before leaving, he told Yang Jian to follow Yu Wenshu's wishes.

Yu Wenshu is still awesome, this cannot be denied.

As a result, before arriving in Luoyang, news of Xuan Zong's defeat came. Yang Jian was so happy that he wrote a memorial halfway, accusing Xuan Zong of being a loser.

Why did Xuanzang lose?
After he passed the Yongji Canal, he encountered not only Xie Leng, but also Gao Shida and his main force. 10 people came to attack him. In the small plain area between Qingzhang River and Yongji Canal, Xuan Zong insisted With 1 people fighting against 10 people for six days, he himself was seriously injured.

Zhang Xutuo from the north arrived in time, and Cui Shishu from the south received the news, and went north to meet Xuanzang in time, and then brought the remnants of Xunzong's troops back to Pingyuan County. Zhang Xutuo continued to retreat to Qingchi County.

This is where Gao Shida is smart. He knows that Changlu and Jingcheng cannot be lost. When the war breaks out, he urgently brings his army to help. He must destroy Zhang Xutuo as quickly as possible. In this way, the hidden danger to the east will be eliminated. It no longer exists.

But he didn't expect Xuan Zong to be so tough and almost defeat his own army.

This means that victory or defeat is only on a thin line. If Cui Shishu had come earlier, or Xuanzang and Zhang Xutuo had sent troops later, maybe the battle in Changlu could have directly defeated Gao Shida.

In a six-day battle, it would take four or five days just to clean up the battlefield. After all, there were refined weapons on the battlefield, and everyone was grabbing them. It all depended on who was quick.

Therefore, Gao Shida was held back, and Yang Ming, who received the news, immediately sent Tu Wanxu, Huangfu Wuyi, and Yang Xuan straight to the capital. At the same time, Li Jing, Zhang Dinghe, and Chen Junbin in the west had also arrived. Entered Zhaojun smoothly.

The war in Hebei is about to break out.

"Don't you always want to be a general manager? Take my Three Thousand Steps to Pingyuan County to receive your second uncle's army," Yang Ming arranged.

Yang Xuanting was injured and would definitely no longer be able to lead the army. Among his subordinates, only Yang Xuanting and Yang Yuanqing could hold them back, but Yang Xuanting had already gone to attack Xindu.

Yang Yuanqing shook his head: "I can't leave, I must stay with His Highness."

"Get out of here now and take over immediately. If you delay the military plane, you will be dealt with according to military law," Yang Ming said sternly.

Yang Yuanqing trembled and nodded quickly.

Yang Ming arranged for Qiao Chunji and Liu Hongji to serve as Sima and join the army under Yuan Qing.

Was Xuanzang really defeated?Judging from the regional war, it was a defeat, but from the overall perspective, he attracted the main force of Gao Shida who was hoarded in Xindu County. This was a strategic victory. It is not based on temporary gains and losses, and Xuanzong was also defeated. pretty.

Because Yang Ming's strategy is to attack Xindu, now is the best opportunity.

Therefore, the army attacking Xindu consisted of 9 people, with Tu Wanxu as the main force, and Huangfu Wuyi and Xuanting as support.

In the lobby, a group of people were surrounding the sand table and studying the war.

"Gao Shida will definitely retreat quickly. Xuanting should be fortified on his retreat route to slow down his return and provide time for Tu Wanxu," Fang Xuanling said.

Staff officer Li Jiancheng said: "There are only 1 people in Xuan Ting's army. They can't be stopped. This Gao Shida is also very powerful. He can rescue Changlu so quickly."

"Zhang Xutuo has been here for too long. The other party has been on guard for a long time. He must have been paying attention to the movements here to react so quickly." I mean, we will send troops again in early May, when Li Jing happens to be attacking Zhao County, Gao Shida will never have the guts to lead the main force to leave Xindu County."

Yang Ming said in a deep voice: "Xuanzong did nothing wrong. Before going on the expedition, I told him that he can decide everything by himself. This loss of Changlu will never be considered a defeat."

It was obvious that the prince was protecting Xuan Zong.

Xuanzang was really desperate to fight like this. He was attacked by 10 people, and he was able to run back with half of them. It was already amazing.Such a minister will never be questioned, and neither will Yang Guang.

As for preventing Gao Shida from returning reinforcements, it is not Xuanting's business, but Yuan Qing's, Zhang Xutuo's, and Cui Shishu's. The three of them add up to 5 people, which is enough to see.

"Xuan Zong fought very well this time," Xue Wanshu said: "Although Gao Shida's rebel army was victorious, it was still defeated. Their morale has been damaged. They will definitely be timid if they run into our army in the future."

Li Xiaogong said: "You can't say that. We know that Gao Shida fought 10 against [-] and achieved this kind of virtue, but the rebels under Gao Shida will not know that. Maybe Gao Shida will say to them , it’s one hundred thousand versus one hundred thousand.”

Du Ruhui smiled and said: "This is exactly the reason. If the high bandits return to support, Zhang Xutuo will definitely attack Changlu. Yuanqing has passed. As long as Changlu and Jingcheng are captured, Gao Shida will be finished."

Therefore, sometimes on the battlefield, the change of ownership of a county seat can determine the overall situation.

Ninety thousand troops attacked Xindu, Zhang Xutuo, Cui Shishu, and Yuan Qing attacked Changlu. If Dou Jiande of Zhao County was defeated by Li Jing again, Gao Shida would be in ruins and could only escape north to join Ge Qian, or Ge Qian went south. Rescue, the latter is unlikely.

What are you doing here to babysit?Just waiting for you to go south.

Dou Jiande is also a tycoon in history, but his 10,000+ people were defeated by Li Shimin's 500 people. You can't say how awesome he is.

His current level is not as good as Zhang Dinghe.

Yang Jian arrived in Luoyang, which confused the local officials.

Is this a joke?The war in the north is raging, how could the emperor take such a hand?
"You want to touch Hanjia Cang?" Dugu Zuan was dumbfounded and looked at the rest of the people.

Dou Kang sighed: "Since Mr. Xu is temporarily in charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and has your approval, you should allocate him, all right."

Yu Wenshu said with a smile: "We only take 50 stones. Your Majesty urges Duke Zhao to collect taxes as soon as possible. The granary will be replenished."

"Now in Luoyang, no matter what we say, all the Huangfu who stayed in Dongdu are on the front line," Yang Yichen said: "For such a big matter, it is best to ask the prince."

Yang Jian sat on the main seat and sneered: "I have His Majesty's will, why should I ask him?"

Dugu Zun suddenly frowned: "His Majesty's decree is that you are under the control of the prince. I am not letting you touch Hanjia Cang, but the prince must know first."

There are three princes here, all big bosses. Yang Jian has been suppressed for so many years, and he has long been unable to suppress these people. Now he is only stronger than collateral princes like Yang Qingzhi, who can't even control Qu Tutong. .

With a bang, Yang Xun slammed the table: "Just prepare food for me, and don't talk nonsense about the rest. If you can't collect last year's taxes in time, you, the Eastern Capital Yin, will be done."

Yu Wenshu quickly smoothed things over and said, "You really should inform the prince."

When marching outside, you must be polite and sophisticated. Your goal is to suppress the rebellion in Jiangnan. In order to achieve this goal, you must negotiate with everyone carefully and cannot just brag and glare at you.

Shi Wanshou is the third eldest son in the family. Because of Feng An's duplicity, he has now taken over Feng An's Zuowuwei general.

Why could he jump so high all of a sudden? It was recommended by Yu Wenshu.

Why did Yu Wenshu recommend him to please Shi Wansui? In fact, it was to please Yang Ming.

I saw Yu Wenshu wink at Shi Wanshou, who said: "The prince is the marshal of the army. If we move Hanjiacang, it will have a huge impact. We must let the prince know. If we move, it will cause problems with the prince's army." , no one here can bear this crime."

Dou Kang crossed his arms and said calmly: "The south is now temporarily stable. Liu Yuanjin and Wang Hua have been recruited. There is no hurry. The prince is in Qinghe County. Report quickly. It only takes half a month to go back and forth at a high speed. matter."

Yang Xian suddenly felt isolated. I have been so down and out for the past few years. Has Yang Ming gotten to this point?
Everyone is speaking for him, not even his father-in-law Yu Wenshu can fully support him.

Yang Jian smiled and nodded: "In that case, please report to the prince quickly. I will wait here for half a month."

It was quiet down below.

Yang Jian frowned and said, "Didn't you hear me?"

Chen Guogong Dou Kang said lazily: "I am old and not deaf, so I naturally heard it."

Others also had disdainful expressions on their faces.

"A tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by a dog," Yang Xian stood up with a flick of his sleeves and left with a cold snort.

After he left, Dou Kang looked at Yu Wenshu and said, "How dare you take this job? Be careful not to protect yourself in your old age."

He is a relative and a duke. He is about the same age as Yu Wenshu and is of the same generation.

Yu Wenshu moved his eyes away and looked at the pillar in the distance without saying a word.

Dugu Zuan stroked his beard and said: "Everyone can't help themselves. Everyone should do their own thing." (End of this chapter)
