Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 608 The Great Battle ([-])

Three months later
Zhuojun
Yang Guang Palace
Every time Yang Guang went to a place, he had to recruit a large amount of labor to build a palace for himself. The frequency and scale of building palaces were even more terrifying than those of Emperor Qin and Han Wu.

No wonder he compares himself to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and regards Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty as his idol. In terms of militarism, he is indeed more exaggerated than the previous two predecessors.

The country of Yan is also engaged in large-scale construction projects every year, but there has never been much public grievance because of the large-scale construction projects, because the large-scale construction projects in the country are the foundation for building plantations, private houses, roads, bridges, cities, sewers, etc., which can enhance the country's heritage Facilities, and they are all built for a fee, the mobilization of civilians requires wages, and even the mobilization of slaves also needs to ensure their basic survival.

And Yang Guang's large-scale construction is simply to build various palaces for enjoyment, so the Grand Canal can be regarded as infrastructure construction, and it still uses corvee labor for free.

"Yanlu bullied me too much!"

After being teased by Yan's fake surrender, Yang Guang was furious.

Originally, he was very happy to hear that Yan Guo was willing to surrender, and asked the envoy to have a good talk with Yan Guo.

As a result, while talking and talking, the battle of the old capital of Yan State was over, and even the follow-up work was finished. Yan State had already returned to Fangshan Pass, so he said he would not surrender.

Then, what made him even more angry was.

Whenever the Sui army was about to capture the bunkers, Yan immediately expressed his intention to surrender, and then procrastinated and negotiated for a few days. During these days, he repaired the bunkers, replenished the bunkers, and continued to recruit soldiers from the slave countries. .

After everything was ready, Yan Guo immediately stated that he would not surrender, and the Sui army had no choice but to smash Shanhaiguan with their lives.

When the Sui army paid a heavy price and was about to capture the bunkers, Yan State immediately expressed its willingness to surrender, and then the Sui army had to stop the attack and negotiate with Yan State.

Then Yan State began to repair the bunkers, replenish materials, and replenish personnel. Finally, the Sui army had to start from scratch again, using human lives to consume Yan’s military supplies, and using the lives of soldiers to consume the durability of Shanhaiguan’s bunkers.

Repeatedly like this, the time has been dragged to the winter of the 613rd year of the Yan Kingdom ([-]). Compared with the beginning of the uprising a year ago, the progress of the Sui army is... no progress.

And the 140 million army of the Sui Empire has already killed 80!

Now, there were only 60 troops left in the Sui Empire, and more than half of the 60 troops were infected with the plague or were injured in the war. Only 20 were left to charge and fight.

Among the 20 troops, [-] are Turkic, Khitan, and Kumoxi servants who are paddling outside Nanze City. In fact, there are only [-] soldiers left in the Sui Empire who can fight, because there are still [-] to stay. Zhuojun protected Yang Guang.

Killing 80 is not defeating 80, these are two concepts!

Defeating an army of 80 is rare in history, but not impossible.

But 80 troops were killed, this war is absolutely unprecedented!
No one could have imagined that the country of Yan would be so difficult to conquer. 80 soldiers died, but they did not even capture Shanhaiguan, let alone the land of the country of Yan.

The Bohai Sea is stained red with blood, and vultures hover over Shanhaiguan every day, waiting for food.

There are also many more fish in the Bohai Sea than before. They grow up eating carcasses and multiply.

"Another 200 million troops will be recruited! I don't believe that Shanhaiguan will not be conquered! Also, starting today, if you don't accept the surrender of the captives, whether they surrender or not, they will attack me!"

"By the way, did you catch that bastard Yang Xuangan?"

Yang Guang was already extremely angry, and Yang Xuangan made him furious, because, three months ago, Yang Xuangan reported again: the battle in the old capital of Yan Kingdom, a great victory!Annihilate the 20 Yanlu army!

"Minister, Yang Xuangan, with persistent efforts, finally found out that the monarch of the Yan Kingdom was sitting in the old capital, so he made a surprise attack, but unexpectedly, the centipede worms of the Yan captive were dead but not stiff. Under the dying struggle, they actually recruited 20 troops to fight the minister. , not daring to live up to the grace of the Son of Heaven, fought bloody battles, fought from dusk to dawn, and from dawn to dusk, did not dare to slack off in the slightest, persevered in spite of all odds, fought to the death without retreating, and finally killed Yanlu with fear, 20 Yanlu The army fled, and all of them were beheaded by my Great Sui Heavenly Soldiers!"

He was very happy at the beginning, thinking that although Yang Xuangan might brag in the battle report, according to the usual practice, he would usually brag ten times, so in fact, even if he didn't wipe out the 20 Yanlu army, he would have wiped out at least [-] Yanlu troops army.

Yanlu has few people, even if it is just to annihilate Yanlu's [-] army, it will be an epic victory, enough to seriously hurt Yanlu's vitality.

However, the paper could not contain the fire after all, the real news of Yang Xuangan's disastrous defeat in Haizhong Continent and the annihilation of the entire army in the old capital of Yan Kingdom still reached his ears last night.

When he heard the real news, Yang Guang couldn't believe it. He felt that it must be a hallucination. Maybe there was something wrong with his ears and he heard it wrong.

He rubbed his ears, listened to the spy's report again, and when he heard the real news again, he trembled all over, that was anger!Angry at Yang Xuan!
He angrily ordered that Yang Xuangan be hunted across the country, Yang Xuangan must be caught, and this bastard who lied about the military situation and buried the Great Sui Armada should be executed by Ling Chi, so that his hatred can be relieved!
At the same time, after temporarily suppressing his anger, he finally understood why Yanlu had to pretend to surrender, so he became even more furious. He wanted to recruit another 200 million troops and 300 million civilians, and he was bound to wipe out Liaodong in one fell swoop!
If the population of 300 million failed to kill the country of Yan, then another population of 500 million will come!

"I will never destroy the Yan captives, I will never stop fighting!"

Yang Guang felt that he had suffered a great humiliation, tens of 10 people died, and even Shanhaiguan could not be taken down.

Before the war, he vowed to flatten Liaodong. After the war, he couldn't even take down Shanhaiguan, and he couldn't even enter the land of Yan!

He was originally a good-looking man with a strong self-esteem. The previous few battles to destroy the country made him float again. Now he is defeated again and again in front of Yanlu, which naturally makes him feel ashamed and must be wiped out in one go. Only Yanlu can keep himself from losing face.

The emperor's order spread to the whole world, and the officials of the empire went from house to house to search for strong men, and forcibly filled young men into the army, and staged "The Officials in the Stone Trench".

Since there were not enough strong men, the empire had to fill the army with the civilian men who were digging the canal.

But in this way, the manpower for digging canals was not enough, so the empire recruited young women and asked them to dig canals.

As a result, there was no one to do the farm work in the common people's homes, so Yang Guang called on the old people and children all over the world to pick up hoes and go to the fields.

The 80-year-old lady and the three-year-old kid were forced to pick up hoes and go to the farmland to produce food.

"No matter how hard the people suffer, I will bear the blame. When the Yan Kingdom is destroyed, I will rest and recuperate!"

Yang Guang's plan is to dig the canal, repair the palace, repair the Great Wall after the destruction of the Yan Kingdom, and then go on an expedition to the Western Regions to completely wipe out the Western Turks. In the future, it will depend on the situation to continue to expand. If there is no expansion target, let the people rest and recuperate well.

He also thought the same way when Tuyuhun was destroyed last time. Every time, he would destroy another country and expand the territory once more, and I would rest and recuperate.

However, the fact is that after expanding the territory, he will continue to expand the territory. The so-called rest and recuperation plan has been continuously postponed. corvee and taxes.

Tomorrow is tomorrow, tomorrow is so much.
