Sui and Tang Dynasties: Killing Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty to sacrifice to heaven at the beginni

Chapter 295 The year is approaching.

If Li Mu was [-] to [-]% sure of Yang Guang's victory in this conquest of Goguryeo before, then now he must be at least [-] to [-]% sure of Yang Guang's victory.

You said that you, Yang Guang, are the emperor, and if your empress is as good at fighting as the wife of Shang Wang Wuding, you can take it with you when you march and fight.The point is that Empress Xiao can be regarded as Su Daji at best, aren't you just having fun with her when you march and fight?
Li Mu felt that Yang Guang was quite similar to a certain bald man in the later generations. Before he ascended to a high position, he fought well in this battle, but now that he ascended to a high position, he often made stupid moves when fighting.

The most important thing is that marching and fighting is the general's business, and he likes to leapfrog and command blindly.The typical talent addiction is bigger.

"Hey!"

"Pass my secret order to Yuwen Chengdu and Su Dingfang, so that they are always ready for the expedition. If there is any mistake on the front line, we must provide immediate support." Li Mu instructed Xu Maogong.

After Li Mu's words came out, Xu Maogong asked with a confused face: "Your Majesty, do you think His Majesty can't win?"

"Hey!"

"It's not impossible to win, I'm afraid it will be defeated!" Li Mu said with a sigh.

"The whole country of Goguryeo has only five million people. Even if the power of the whole country is exhausted, it will not be able to recruit a million soldiers. At the same time, it must defend Silla and Baekje. How can Goguryeo resist our army of 30 in the Sui Dynasty?"

"Your Majesty, how can you lose?" Xu Maogong asked in his own soul.

When Xu Maogong asked such a question, Li Mu was dumbfounded. That's right, how could Yang Guang lose?Li Mu couldn't understand this point, he really couldn't figure out how to lose?
At this time, it was the heyday of the Sui Dynasty, and the entire Sui Dynasty had a population of more than [-] million.Goguryeo, on the other hand, only has more than five million people, and the population gap between the two sides is more than ten times.

The Sui Dynasty could easily send 30 or even a million troops, but Goguryeo could not recruit a million soldiers even with the power of the whole country.

Moreover, on the other side of Goguryeo, there are feuds Silla and Baekje.Goguryeo has frequently invaded the land of these two countries over the years. Silla and Baekje dare not speak out.If Da Sui and Goguryeo were to fight, would they not be able to make trouble?

The gap between the Sui Dynasty and Goguryeo is not only the difference in military strength, but also in various aspects such as weapons and equipment, and the command of generals. Both are not at the same level.

It was precisely because of these many considerations and reasons that Xu Maogong asked how His Majesty could be defeated.

Li Mu also couldn't figure out how Yang Guang could lose with such a disparity in strength.

Calculating according to the historical trajectory of the previous life, due to many reasons such as the construction of the eastern capital Luoyang and the construction of the Grand Canal, peasants' uprisings all over the place were caused.Where there is an uprising, there will be suppression. During this process of suppression, the powerful families gradually gained part of the military power.

You know, how the Great Sui Dynasty got its start, that is, relying on having military power in its hands and bullying orphans and widows.Therefore, the military power of the entire Sui Dynasty was actually tightly controlled.

During the period of Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, the military power in the world was basically in the hands of Kai Sui Jiulao, or most of the military power was in the hands of Yang Lin, the backer king, and Yang Su, the king of Yue. A man of the Yang family.

Yang Guang also knew the consequences of being controlled by a powerful family. Military power must never be allowed to be touched by a powerful family.Therefore, the failure of the three expeditions to Goguryeo in the previous life was most likely because Yang Guang was weakening the military power in the hands of the powerful family.

But this life is different. It can be said that a small half of the military power in the world is in the hands of Li Mu.More than half of the rest are scattered in the hands of these veterans who opened the Sui Nine Elders, and the royal family still firmly controls the military power in the world.

Under such circumstances, Yang Guang certainly did not want to lose, so if he lost, there was only one possibility, and that was that the general direction of history could not be shifted.

The small trend can be changed, but the general trend is irreversible.No one knows what happened in those details that have not been recorded in history.However, like the three conquests of Goguryeo and the fall of the Sui Dynasty, can the general trend be changed?

If the Sui Dynasty did not die, what would the history known to later generations be like?
In fact, Li Mu is also waiting at this time. If Yang Guang really loses this time, then whether the Great Sui can be saved, whether he should find a way out early or not, all these things have to be decided later.

In fairness, Li Mu did not want Yang Guang to lose the battle.Being defeated by a group of sticks, after all, it is a shameful thing, isn't it.

Although he thought so in his heart, Yang Guang did not summon him, and Li Mu could not send troops without authorization, so he could only prepare in advance to wipe Yang Guang's ass.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is only a few days before the end of the year.

Today, the roads in the cities and counties of major prefectures and counties in Shandong have been connected.Although the roads built in Shandong are all dirt roads rammed with loess.But even if it's just a dirt road, it greatly increases the speed of the journey.

Once this road is unimpeded, the economy of the entire Shandong territory will improve a lot in an instant.Let's put it this way, the GDP of the entire Shandong region has increased by at least [-]% in a short period of time.

One of the main reasons why Shandong’s economy was not good in the past was that the road was not easy to follow.The other is because there are many bandits.

Today's Shandong border, this road is easy to go, and the bandits will not snatch it.Instead of robbing or snatching, these bandits began to do good deeds.

In this day and age, there are no truly vicious bandits.Most of the bandits, it's not because they can't survive that they become bandits.

Li Mu found a long-term livelihood for these bandits, such as toll collectors on the road.There are also those who maintain order in the major markets, this is the urban management of the Sui Dynasty.As for those who are older, they can also clean up and clean up or something.

With a stable life, who wants to be a bandit.For a time, the security situation in the entire Shandong area has been greatly improved.

Shandong, Jinan Mansion, Li Mu Mansion.

"Aren't you two going home for the New Year?" Li Mu asked, looking at Li Xiuning and Changsun Wugou in front of him.

After Li Mu stopped talking, Li Xiuning shook his head, and Changsun Wugou nodded.Obviously, the two girls did not reach a consensus on whether to go home for the New Year.

"It's too far to go to Shanxi now, it's too late, I won't go back." Li Xiuning said carelessly.

Li Yuan was persuaded by Li Mu to take office in Taiyuan Mansion, Shanxi, but aren't Li Shimin and his mother still in Daxing City?
"Aren't Shimin and Auntie still in Daxing City?" Li Mu asked Li Xiuning.

"Let's go? Not long after I came to Shandong, my mother wrote a letter saying that they are going to Taiyuan too." Li Xiuning said confidently.

"Let's go, why didn't I hear you mention it?" Li Mu asked with a black question mark on his face.

Li Xiuning thought to herself, why should I mention it to you? You think I'm a fool. If I mention this, you can't drive me away.
