The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 397

Yang Tong in Yecheng naturally didn't know about Yin Mingyue and Princess Yan, and he was currently inspecting the school grounds in the south of Yecheng.

In order to accommodate more spectators, the school field used for martial arts selection this time is as big as several football fields. Since it is to select middle-level generals for the mother of the country, Yang Tong discussed with Yang Lijing and others. Selection of troops.

The written test must be waived. There are really not many low-level military officers who can read and write these days, and Yang Tong doesn't want the military generals under his command to be the type who talk about military affairs on paper. Therefore, the assessment of commanding troops will be based on actual combat. The line of sight of the players, so that they cannot see the opponent's situation in the game, and then command a certain force to fight.

Yang Tong hopes to try his best to bring out the taste of the military exercises of later generations, but after all, the conditions are limited, and it is impossible to actually take them to the wild to fight, so it is unlikely that he really wants to achieve the level of military exercises of later generations.

When you have enough money in the future, you must find a place with diverse terrain and build a base similar to Zhu/Ri/He, which is specially used for military exercises and has the effect of training troops.

Yang Tong was secretly ruthless in his heart. Given the current conditions, he could only select a thousand generals at most, because a general who is "enemy against ten thousand people" with high martial arts skills may not be able to command thousands of troops. He himself is the best example. He can play smoothly with the cavalry of less than 10 people. If there are a few more worry-free lieutenants, he can even turn the tide of a major battle.With more than 10 people and fighting in complex terrain, it is Amitabha to remain undefeated.

With an army of 10 people, he can perform at a normal level on the grassland with a wide view. If he reaches complex terrain such as Bashu, he may be completely wiped out by the opponent's terrain; [-]% of the power, this is a question of commanding power.

A wrong military order by the commander is enough to lead to the collapse of a battle, and in a large-scale battle, the number of people is important, but what is more important is morale. Once morale collapses, a million troops will cripple themselves. Although the number of people on the other side is small , but if the morale is like a rainbow, the orders are the same, and the whole is united, the mythical battle of three thousand breaking one hundred thousand is not empty.

In war, the more people you have, the stronger you are. If the commander can't make the troops work together, the various armies will collide with each other on the battlefield. However, with Yang Tong's own commanding power, he can control an army of more than [-].

In fact, looking at ancient and modern China and foreign countries, there are only a handful of marshals who can easily command 10 people. Whether there are such marshals in foreign countries, Yang Tong is not sure, but among his own clan, Yang Tong only remembers Li Mu, Bai Qi, Wang Jian; and Han Xin, who was as good as possible in the Han Dynasty, and Wei Qing, who defeated the Huns; Cao Cao is also such a famous commander.

Although there were many famous generals in the Sui Dynasty, there was only one Yang Su who could handle hundreds of thousands of troops. The same is true of Li Jing now, and Su Dingfang should be counted, but the current Su Dingfang must not have reached that level. But Yang Tong couldn't count.

Those famous generals who have left their names in history, in fact, in a battle, they commanded not many soldiers and horses. Some commanded thousands of people and could win a hundred battles, but commanded ten thousand people, they disappeared. Let’s take Li Shimin in history. He said that he had an astonishing result of three thousand breaking one hundred thousand, but his performance when commanding a large army was mediocre.

In history, after the Tang Dynasty unified the world, there were many soldiers and generals, rich money and food, and Liu Heita, who re-emerged in Jizhou, seemed very weak.And most of the soldiers under him are small soldiers.Such strength makes it hard to believe that Liu Heitai can resist.However, the situation of the battle was unexpected, and the eight generals of the Tang Dynasty were taken down by Liu Heita one after another.

Luo Yi and Huai'an King Li Shentong fought in Raoyang City. The two armies fought each other. In the end, Luo Yi was defeated and lost more than half of his soldiers and supplies.The two brothers Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche were even worse. After being arrested, Liu Heita shaved their brothers' big bald heads and sent them back.

Li Ji's talent and military strength are only slightly inferior to Li Jing's. In the foreign wars of the Tang Dynasty, he served as the marshal of the army and won many times.So the Tang Dynasty sent Li Ji to fight against Liu Heita after the defeat of Luo Yi and Xue's brothers.But in the end, Li Ji was also crippled by Liu Heitai, and in the end he was the only one left to flee with his relatives.

Later, Li Shimin asked Wang Junlang to guard Mingshui City. When he was in danger, Li Shimin recalled him and sent Luo Shixin into the city. As a result, Luo Shixin was captured and killed by Liu Heita.As a result, the six generals under Li Shimin were all lost in the hands of Liu Heitai.

Li Shimin himself was also heavily surrounded.At the critical moment, it was Yuchi Jingde who led the death squads into the siege and rescued Li Shimin.Li Shimin narrowly escaped death, and after returning to the camp, he hung up his exemption card.

Liu Heita's army pointed directly at Chang'an, forcing Li Tang San to change his coach. In the end, Prince Li Jiancheng led the army to fight Liu Heita.During the decisive battle, Li Jiancheng commanded properly, and finally killed Liu Heitai.

Based on this calculation, Liu Heitai should also be a famous commander.It's just that he is a loser, and there are not many records.

At this time, Yang Tong finally realized the meaning of the saying that a thousand troops are easy to get but a general is hard to find. Commanding an army to fight a war is an art of war, and it is not something that can be done by just finding someone. It may be useful to work hard the day after tomorrow, but you have to command ten A famous marshal with thousands of people going to win a battle is rare in a thousand years!

The Sui Dynasty is now full of stars, but there is only one Li Jing who can command hundreds of thousands of people to fight in a complex environment, and the rest can only lead tens of thousands of people to be younger brothers under Li Jing's command.

Of course, the potential of Su Dingfang and Pei Xingyan is still quite large, and it is estimated that there will not be a large-scale battle of a million people, and it is more than enough to deal with a battle of 10 people.

"Please look, my lord." Just as Yang Yu was wandering in the sky and walking on the school grounds, Jiang Zuo Yuwenwen pointed to the school grounds and introduced: "The rockery and roadblocks are all arranged according to the nine palaces and eight trigrams. Obtain the effect of blocking the line of sight."

He pointed to the seats arranged in all directions like a gymnasium: "According to the method of the Holy One, the audience in the stadium can see the competition in the center of the stadium no matter where they are."

"That's right." Yang Tong nodded in satisfaction. The school field in front of him looks like an outdoor gymnasium. If the effect is good, one can be built in each of the big cities as a national gymnasium for Cuju, equestrian, and polo games. Enrich people's lives.

"There are 36 large tanks buried under the high platform. The openings are facing other directions of the square, and then they are connected with bamboo. When talking on the high platform, the whole square can hear clearly."

In fact, this is a traditional method. There are countless large vats buried under the thrones of Chaotian Palace, Chaoyang Palace, Chang'an Daxing Palace, and Luoyang Ziwei Palace main hall. When the emperor speaks, the whole hall can hear it. The cylinder is also very particular, and it is said that the voice of the majestic king is stunned.

Yang Tong smiled and said, "General Yuwen will be troublesome."

"As expected of the Great Sui Dynasty, this building is beautifully built." A hearty laugh came suddenly, Yang Tong and others turned their heads to look, and saw kings and envoys from various countries coming from the other side led by officials from the Ministry of Rites.

It was the Tuyuhun Tianzhu King Murong Ke who spoke, and he led a group of Tuyuhun warriors, walking carelessly from the other side.

A look of disgust flashed in Yang Tong's eyes, but he smiled and said, "So it's the Tianzhu King."

"I heard that the Holy Majesty will compete in the selection of generals here tomorrow. To tell the truth, I, a Tuyuhun man, also believes in bravery. The Holy Majesty's move is just what I want. I have already signed up several warriors of my Tuyuhun, and let them see the Sui Dynasty warriors." Human bravery." Murong Ke laughed loudly.

"It would be bad if it hurt the warriors under King Tianzhu." Yang Tong smiled lightly.

"Haha~" Murong Ke shook his head and smiled as if he heard a big joke: "Don't worry, my lord, my Tuyuhun man is different from you, not as delicate as you, please forgive Xiao Wang for speaking bluntly, what Xiao Wang brought this time is all I, the Tuyuhun Warriors, use the words of your Han people, everyone has undeserved courage, and they will not lose. Of course, if the Holy One thinks it is not good to be won by us in the end, Xiao Wang can let them withdraw from that championship In the finals, anyway, they won't be able to make Sui generals."

"Presumptuous!" Yang Tong didn't say anything, but Pei Renji, who was on the side, had a sharp look and took a step forward, a vast and fierce aura emerged spontaneously. The complexions of the people behind Murong Ke changed, and they quickly protected Murong Ke. In front of him, he looked warily at this usually harmless Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.

"Pei Qing don't need to get angry." Yang Tong waved his hand, signaling Pei Renji not to do anything, looked at Murong Ke coldly, and said like a blade: "It seems that Your Excellency King Tianzhu forgot the lesson of the five years of Daye. Then I have to Let you have a long memory. Back then, Emperor Wu of the Sui Dynasty, my grandfather, led your so-called weak men of the Sui Dynasty to beat Murong Fuyun and fled. In this battle, the Great Sui Dynasty opened up thousands of miles of territory, and thus we have Shanshan, Qiemo, Xihai, and Heyuan are four counties."

Speaking of the battle more than ten years ago, Murong Ke couldn't help but feel a little ashamed and flustered. This is the great shame and humiliation they have suffered since the founding of Tuyuhun.

"Your Majesty." Murong Ke's eyes seemed to burst into flames. He suppressed his anger, looked at Yang Tong, and said in a deep voice, "If your country is still in the old Sui Dynasty, I, Tuyuhun, would still be afraid, but the situation in your country is small. Wang also knows a thing or two, although the Great Sui still occupies the northern land and is powerful, it will not be easy for the Great Sui to destroy Li Tang and other countries."

"It's really not easy for me to eliminate the rebellious ministers of the Central Plains, but it's very easy to eliminate a Tuyuhun whose vitality is seriously injured and whose strength is far inferior to that of the East and West Turks." Yang Tong glanced at Murong Ke whose face changed drastically, and smiled: "Tianzhu The king is not convinced by my Great Sui, and I have just ascended the throne and urgently need a big victory to establish supreme majesty, so let's fight a battle. If King Tianzhu also thinks it is fun, then I will fight now. how?"

Murong Ke was breaking out in a cold sweat. Such a powerful thing, Turkic, had been abolished by this little emperor two or three times. How could Tuyuhun dare to fight?He was just talking and talking.

"To tell you the truth! It was just an accident that I attacked the Western Turks." Yang Tong glanced at the kings and envoys who were listening attentively, and said with a faint smile, "I heard that Tuyuhun often invaded our Xihai County and threatened the Silk Road from time to time. I planned to fight Tuyuhun first, but who would have thought that the Western Turks would jump out first, so the Western Turks died."

Everyone: "..."

It turned out that there was another reason for the Sui Dynasty's attack on the Western Turks. Everyone sympathized with the Western Turks. It was really a tragedy to the extreme.Immediately afterwards, everyone looked at King Tianzhu with weird eyes, full of gloating, this is the end of trouble.

Yang Tong said: "I am very poor now, and I don't have enough money to support an army of 50. It is impossible to disband the army. King Tianzhu wants to play, which is exactly what I want, and he has the name of attacking Tuyuhun. I heard that there are people in the West Sea. A lot of cattle and sheep, since they are brought in, don’t go away, they are just used to feed our army of hundreds of thousands in the Sui Dynasty.”

"Your Majesty, you won't be serious, right?" Tianzhu King Murong Ke broke out in cold sweat.

"Guess." Yang Tong smiled all over his face, making it impossible to tell the truth.
