Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 197
In the sixth year of Sui Daye, the first month, the Shangyuan Festival.

The imperial capital, Daxing City.

Although the night is deep, the capital is as bright as day, and the capital lantern market is full of lanterns.Especially those houses of aristocrats and wealthy families, there are lamphouses erected in front of each house, and all kinds of lamps compete with each other, which is too beautiful to behold.

Countless people in the capital walked on the street to enjoy the lanterns and guess lantern riddles, shoulder to shoulder.

Those barbarian merchants and barbarians from foreign lands, have never seen such a splendid city, have never seen such a prosperous world, all of them are like fools, they only feel that their eyes are not enough, they only feel that they have learned too few words of praise, There is no way to describe this beautiful and prosperous scene.

In the northeast corner of the capital, on the original dragon head.

This is a mountain plain that symbolizes the veins of the dragon. It runs northward from Fanchuan in the southwest of Daxing and stretches for [-] miles. When it arrives here, it is just the head of the dragon.

The dragon's head is twenty feet high. Standing on the high pavilion of the temple and looking south, you can have a panoramic view of the whole Daxing City.

A tall man stood quietly on the pavilion, letting the wind blow his cloak.

The sound of footsteps approached from far away, and a man in a broad robe and belt stepped up the stairs, and finally stopped beside the tall man.

"It is said that Emperor Wen chose this place to build a new capital according to the Book of Changes. According to the geography and astronomical phenomena, Daxing Palace, the imperial palace symbolizing Ziweixing, was arranged in the north center of Daxing City. But I think this layout has flaws. Although Daxing Palace In the center of the north of the city, it is the lowest depression in Daxing City, and the summer is humid and hot, what does this mean?"

"It means that Yang Sui's world is destined to be short-lived."

The tall man said slowly.

"This is where the dragon's head is, where the energy of the dragon's veins is. If you decide the world in the future, you can build a new palace here, and keep the dragon energy forever, which can keep the world for 300 years." The man in the broad robe and belt said with a smile.

"Dragon Qi, Yang Guang's family's Dragon Qi is exhausted, and the world will be shaken."

The tall man smiled, and there was a kind of domineering in his smile, "But that stupid king sitting on the dragon chair is still squandering the luck of the world wantonly. Let him continue to toss, just after the 300-year split I am afraid that the unified world in China will continue to be chaotic."

"Master, we must stop him."

"Please wait a little longer, Duke Chu. The Hunjun has not done enough evil, and the influence is not bad enough. Today, people in the world are still grateful for the stability brought by the unification of the Sui Dynasty, and the prosperity of the founding emperor. It is not the most appropriate to raise troops now. time."

"How long do we have to wait? I'm getting impatient."

"Chugong, the Hunjun has gone farther and farther, and this day will come soon."

After Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, his brother Han Wang Yang Liang first rebelled, and almost the entire Kanto area followed suit. Although Yang Guang sent Yang Su as commander, he finally defeated the rebels, beheaded the brother, and pacified Kanto.

But this quelling of the chaos once again shook the Sui Dynasty's rule in the Kanto region.The powerful clans in the Kanto region who had surrendered not many years after Qi was destroyed, once again alienated the emperor.

And Yang Guang kept doing things to death.

In the first year of Daye, troops were sent to the south to attack Zhancheng Kingdom, although they captured Champa King City and captured the king.However, the Sui army was impatient with the southern weather, and a plague broke out during the class, and nearly half of the people died.As soon as the Sui army left, the Champa people restored the country in the three counties of Bijing, Haiyin, and Linyi set up by the Sui Dynasty.

Apart from grabbing some gold and silver treasures, the Sui army wasted their efforts, and even the coach Liu Fang died of illness on the way to the class.

In the same year, Yang Guang sent Wei Yunqi to conquer Khitan. Although Wei Yunqi defeated Khitan, Wei Yunqi used Turkic soldiers to fight the battle.

In the third year of Daye, Yang Guang sent Zhu Kuan to Liuqiu again, demanding that Liuqiu become a minister and pay tribute, but Liuqiu refused, so he sent troops to conquer, but sent troops several times, all of which were loss of soldiers and generals, without any great results.

In the fourth year of Daye, Yang Guang ordered the Gaoche Department to attack Tuyuhun. Tuyuhun was forced to ask for help from the Sui Dynasty. Yang Guang took the opportunity to send troops to destroy Tuyuhun the next year. , Sui could not manage effectively.

In the end, only Prince Fu Shunyun of Tuyuhun was sent to manage it, but in the end Fushun was driven back by the Tuyuhun people.On the surface, the Sui Dynasty expanded the frontier for thousands of miles, but in fact, no real results were obtained after laboring people and money.Afterwards, the various tribes of Tuyuhun returned to their hometowns and attacked Heyou in the Sui Dynasty, but the imperial court was powerless to defend.

Behind this victory, all the counties in Guanzhong, Da'an and the counties in the Northwest will be transferred to the outside of the Great Wall, with hundreds of millions of dollars per year.The road is dangerous and long, and they are often robbed by bandits. For those who have died but have not been transported, the counties and counties will confiscate their homes.

Because a large number of people in the four counties of Qinghai, Hexi, and Longyou were unemployed, the western half of the imperial court was already in dire straits, and the people were in dire straits.

But Yang Guang was still obsessed with his frenzy of opening up territories, imagining that all nations would come to the dynasty and become the center of the celestial dynasty.

On the other hand, at the same time as the conquest of the east and the west, Yang Guang ordered the conscription of civilian husbands to serve, and the projects continued.

In the first year of Daye, the construction of the Eastern Capital lasted ten months, and 200 million civilian husbands were recruited every month.But after spending so much manpower and material resources, Luoyang City still has only the inner city wall, and the outer city wall has not even been built.

At the same time as Dongdu was built, the canal was ordered to be built, and millions of slaves were served.

In the second year of Daye, Yang Guangbei visited the fortress and summoned Turkic Khan.

In the fourth year of the great cause, the Yulin Great Wall was built, and millions of civilians were recruited. The construction schedule was tight and the tasks were heavy, and more than half of the civilians were killed or injured.

In the fifth year of Daye, he went out to patrol Hexi and Longyou again, crossing the Qilian Mountains with 20 soldiers, officials, court ladies, etc., and arrived in Zhangye. As a result, nearly half of them died of freezing and starvation in a snowstorm along the way.

"Next year, the Hunjun will personally conquer Goguryeo. At that time, millions of troops will be conscripted, and millions of civilians will be recruited. The whole world will move for this campaign. I predict that the Hunjun will lose this battle." The man in the toga said.

"Why do you know that?" the tall man asked, "It's unprecedented since ancient times to launch a million-strong army. Although Goguryeo is barbaric and powerful, it is impossible to hold back a million-strong army."

"Chu Gong, if Yang Guang just chooses a general as the commander, and leads 30 troops to conquer Liao, I dare say he will win. But if he wants to conquer Liao himself and send a million troops, then this battle will be defeated. The more Yang Guang loses, the more miserable he will be. When the time comes, Duke Chu's opportunity will come."

"But I'm afraid he may not be defeated."

"Chu Gong, even if Yang Guang is undefeated, but he mobilizes an army of one million to go out, how many soldiers are there in the Central Plains? In the Sui Dynasty, there were only 70 soldiers in the world, and the total number of twelve guards was only [-]. If you want to send a million troops, you still have to fight." All the prefectural capitals will be turned into soldiers, and even the prefectural and county soldiers will be transferred away, and the world will be empty." The man in the robe said with a meaningful smile.

"The world is empty." The tall man finally nodded.

"Then just wait."

"Duke Chu, Wang Bo is still in the capital and will leave the capital in a few days, do you want to see him?" the man in the toga asked.

"Useless man, what's the use of seeing it, you can just comfort him for me."

The man in the toga hesitated to speak, finally nodded in response, turned and left.

　Thank you Soul Milian, Qishengyun and others for your support, thank you!
