Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 692 Four major relationships
Gao Shida was not as smart as Gao Kaidao. He rebelled with his son, or the eldest son, Gao Shenghui. He still expected Xue Geqian to become the king.

The Hebei Rebellion started after the officers and soldiers entered Jijun in Yuan Yue and lasted ten months before it was finally put down. Among them, the rapid collapse of the Shandong Allied Army and the Wagang Army had a huge impact on other rebels.

Because Wagang is very powerful, with an army of 15, let alone the Shandong gang, they all dare to go to Luoyang, with an army of 15.

Such two huge forces were defeated by the army in a very short period of time, which undoubtedly had a great shock to the psychology of those who came after them.

The reason why Dou Jiande surrendered so quickly was because people's hearts had changed. He no longer had confidence, and neither did the people below him.

There is already a fear of the officers and soldiers in my heart. If you are timid before fighting, you will no longer be able to fight. When encountering a narrow road, the brave will win. If you are not brave, you are already at a disadvantage.

On the other hand, Yang Ming's side was advancing with great success and penetrated most of Hebei with undefeated morale. As Gao Shida's grain and grass were burned, everyone could see that this rebel army was doomed.

Then the only remaining Hejian Geqian and Gao Kaidao naturally knew that their demise was imminent, especially because the Turks, their temporary allies, could not come down.

Hebei is so big, what can you do if you guard a Hejian County?There is not even enough grass for you to eat.

Gao Shida's fate was not as good as Gao Kaidao's, after all, his own son joined the war.

According to convention, the three Yi tribes.

You can't kill many people, because he is a side branch and has a small population. If you kill Gao Xi's branch, you can kill more than 3000 people.

"Instruct Tu Wanxu, who is in Xindu, that he will be in charge of the future affairs of Hebei, inspect the school and the Minister of Military Affairs, and pacify the local area," Yang Ming arranged.

It is tantamount to giving the power of temporary border closure. The riots in various parts of Hebei must be settled by spitting out Wanxu. Those rebels who fled back should not be pursued anymore and turn a blind eye.

All rebel generals who surrendered and were not punished for minor crimes were given full-time duties.

why?Because only these people can settle the surrendered rebels and turn them from rebels into officials. Their lives have been fulfilled. Next, they will serve the court honestly and do whatever the superiors ask them to do. And I will be very attentive, because I have to keep this hard-won job.

This is a new blood that will have a profound impact on Hebei's future officialdom. It is also a way for Yang Ming to weaken the local aristocratic families. After all, many of these rebel generals are from bandits.

Bandits can also be used. To deal with aristocratic families, you have to rely on bandits.

"Wan Shi's injury is too serious. Let's recuperate in Jixian County. After the injury is healed, there is no need to go to Liaodong anymore. Return to the capital to report on the work," Yang Ming looked at Xuan Zong and said.

Xuan Zong nodded: "Wan Shi leads the way and kills the enemy in bloody battles. He is a model in the army."

Come on, pull me down. Xuanting feels embarrassed. It's so obvious that you want credit for Wan Shi. In our family, Wan Shi is the most like a turtle.

Yang Wanshi and the two of them are brothers from the same father and mother, and they are the fifth eldest child in the family.

Yang Ming naturally knew what Xuan Zong was planning and said with a smile: "Wan Shi has already made great achievements under Li Jing when he conquered Goguryeo. Now if he makes new achievements, he will be rewarded heavily, so let's grant him the title of Zhuguo."

Yang Wanshi's contribution is indeed not small, but Yang Ming cannot give him a title because his contribution to wiping out Hebei this time is much greater.

After reviewing the course of the war, it was discovered that Li Jing, Zhang Xutuo, Yang Yuanqing, and Luo Shixin had the greatest contribution.

Li Jing and Zhang Xutuo effectively blocked Ge Qian's army from going south, indirectly promoting Dou Jiande's surrender. Yang Yuanqing's chaos led to the defeat of Gao Shida's rebels. Luo Shixin captured Changlu County and bravely fought against the Turks. Championing the three armies, Lai Huer was called the number one warrior in Shandong.

In that battle, Luo Shixin's men killed the most people. You know, they didn't refine their armor.

Absolutely fierce, this kid just turned 15 this year.

"Don't bring the chief of Mohe here. Kill him directly. Send the body back to Mohe and show it to their leader, the great beggar Zhongxiang. Just because I don't have time to take care of him now doesn't mean I won't take care of him." Yang Ming said in a deep voice: "Those Turkic leaders all escorted the capital to the capital, and the prisoners were sold as slaves."

At this time, the girl from the Cui family brought the wine, placed it on the table in front of Yang Ming, and then stood behind obediently.

When Yang Yuanqing saw this, he smiled and said: "Since ancient times, beauties have been paired with heroes. The prince's visit to Hebei this time has been fruitful."

Everyone laughed.

Don't think that the people below won't tease Yang Ming. This happens at different times. Yang Ming sometimes deliberately lowers his body to get closer to his subordinates.

As a saying goes, the emperor and his ministers not only need to establish a relationship between the emperor and his ministers, but also have a good personal relationship.

In formal occasions, we are monarchs and ministers and cannot go beyond the limits, but sometimes in private, we can also be friends.

This is a convenient way to consolidate power and gain the absolute loyalty of subordinates.

Of course, they dared to tease Cui Jinxi, because they didn't have the guts to tease Yang Ming's female family members who had status.

The hall was now filled with joy and joy, and everyone was filled with joy after a great achievement. As they toasted and changed their glasses, the generals who were killing people without batting an eyelid on the battlefield also became much softer.

Going to war together is a very effective way to promote relationships, and it is one of the four major relationships that carries the gun together.We went to school together, carried guns together, visited prostitutes together, and shared stolen goods together. The first two were a team, and the latter two were a gang.

Everyone who was unfamiliar with them is now familiar with them, and has established a rather deep friendship. Even Dou Jiande, because of his bravery in fighting the Turks, is no longer as ostracized as before.

Lai Huer raised his glass and said with a smile: "That young general Luo followed Su Lie to the grassland. This child is brave and invincible. He is a good seedling."

Luo Shixin is really life-threatening, and his character is as if he was born for the battlefield. His ferocity is so chilling that it is hard to imagine that this kid is still a virgin.

Yang Ming looked at Zhang Xutuo and said with a smile: "Shixin has been with you for so long, have you really never touched a woman?"

After saying this, Yang Ming waved his hand and signaled Cui Jinxi to step back because they were about to talk about men.

Speaking of porn is also a very lively social method that allows everyone to participate.

When there are a lot of people, you should never talk about high-end topics. You have to talk about something that everyone can interrupt, and don't just talk about "I have a friend". Who the hell doesn't know how to brag?

Zhang Xutuo said with a smile: "I regard him as my adopted son. He was very strict in the past. Besides, he is still young, so he is not allowed to touch women."

"Tsk~~~ You are so boring," Yang Xuanzang laughed and said, "If you are not romantic, you will waste your youth. He is already an adult, so be careful of suffocating him."

Everyone laughed and enjoyed themselves.

Yang Xuanting laughed and said: "Second brother, tell them, how crazy can you be?"

"Less than 13 years old," Yang Xuanzang smiled heartily.

As soon as the topic started, it was ridiculously lively. Even though some people were usually quite serious, they were not serious at all when talking about these topics.

Xue Shouguan is a more serious person, but he also likes this atmosphere very much. He listens attentively and sums up his experience.

There wasn't much love in ancient times, and in fact, there wasn't much love in later generations, otherwise there wouldn't be people who were well-matched to each other.

Therefore, several of Yang Ming's female relatives were devoted to him because Yang Ming gave them the love that should have been illusory.

Yang Ming was also dumbfounded, because everyone told some of their private things, which was very interesting.

"When Shixin comes back this time, let him stay with me. If he wins someone's love, Ziguo won't be reluctant to let him go, right?" Yang Ming said with a smile.

Zhang Xutuo waved his hand quickly: "How could it be? It is his blessing that Shixin can be favored by His Highness, and I am honored to do so."

He was originally Yang Ming's man, so it was normal for him to train a subordinate and hand it over to Yang Ming.

It wasn't until the evening, when everyone was eating together, that someone started chatting about serious matters.

"It will take a month for the ships from Luoyang to arrive at Zhuojun, but the chaos in Shandong still needs to be resolved as soon as possible," Zhang Xutuo said while eating: "Your Highness, please ask Huaiyi to follow me to Shandong. Then Your Highness can go along the The canal goes straight to Jiangdu, so you don’t have to worry about Shandong.”

He hoped that Yang Ming would go to Jiangdu early and take away Yang Jian's military power.

This is also everyone's wish. Everyone will not allow Yang Jian to really level Jiangnan.

Yang Ming chewed biscuits and nodded: "Huaiyi has been in Qi County for a while. How many soldiers and horses do you think are needed to defeat Shandong?"

Shi Huaiyi said: "A month ago, we could only get 10 people. Now, Hebei has been wiped out, and everyone in Shandong is in danger. When our army arrives, many of them will surrender. I will lead an army of [-], and cooperate with the Marquis of Xuancheng." (Zhang Xutuo) With his own troops and horses, Shandong can be defeated."

Yang Ming nodded: "You are still young. After you go down, you should focus on Ziguo. After packing up, let's set off as soon as possible."

"I accept your orders," they both replied at the same time.

It doesn't matter who is the leader and who is the deputy between the two of them. After all, they are both the prince's people. Now they are both on the rise of their careers and it is not time to compete for power.

Lai Hu'er hurriedly said: "I am familiar with water warfare in the south of the Yangtze River, and I am willing to go south with your highness."

He was afraid that Yang Ming would not lead him. After all, the example of Tu Wanxu was before him, and as for him, after defeating Jieli, if he could pacify Jiangnan, he would not be too far behind Yuwenshu.

The person he was most dissatisfied with in his life was Yu Wenshu, because he felt that he could do anything Yu Wenshu could do. In fact, the gap between the two was really not that big.

Both of them are Yang Guang's favorites, so they will naturally be jealous.

Yang Ming smiled and said: "I'm not good at water warfare. Rong Gong is from Jiangdu. Naturally, I have to rely on you to suppress the rebellion in the south. It is Marshal Chang Shi. Wherever I go, you go."

Lai Huer nodded. Two of his sons died, so he was an absolutely loyal and brave family.
