Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 488 Sacred Heart Joy, Summoned

Zhuo County.

Emperor Yang Guang's chariot drove through the customs and arrived at Linshuo Palace in Zhuo County.

At this time, Xiaoguo's six armies all retreated into the pass, while Yu Wenshu's and Yang Yichen's six armies also retreated from Liaodong, and they were on their way back from Liaoxi at an accelerated pace.

All the armies retreated in an orderly manner, and even Yu Wenshu's six armies suffered almost no casualties. This was also thanks to the fact that they had captured the two fortresses of Liaodong and Xincheng. With Luo Yi and the others staying behind, the Goguryeo people did not dare to pursue them.

Although Hu Sizheng's defection to Goguryeo made the Goguryeo people have a clear understanding of the sudden retreat of the Sui army, they still rejected Hu Sizheng's pursuit request.

At this time, the domestic city was temporarily relieved, and the invading Sui army withdrew. They had no intention of chasing after them, because they were now facing a more serious problem.

That is, when the Sui Second Eastern Expedition suddenly ended and the army returned to the west, the Goguryeo people had to face a new fact, that is, the relationship between the eastern group of Yuan Taejo and the royal family supported by Ulji Mundeok and the others. contradiction.

In the face of a great enemy, the two sides can tolerate each other for a while, but once the foreign enemy leaves, internal strife will inevitably arise.

When Yang Guang had just crossed the Liaohe River and Yu Wenshu had just withdrawn to the Xincheng area, Yuan Gaisuwen, the former Liaodong city lord, had already summoned troops in Fuyu City.

Summoning soldiers and horses is not to pursue the Sui army, fight back and recover the lost cities.

He wanted to gather all the troops from the Eastern Alliance and lead them to the inner city, in order to force Gao Jianwu and Eulji Moondeok to hand over Yuan Taejo.

There was a call for soldiers and horses, and Ulji Mundeok here naturally started preparations immediately. The two sides were at war, and the fight has not yet stopped, but it is because the Sui army has not completely withdrawn.

Let the traitor Hu Sizheng jump up and down, the Goguryeo people have no time to pay attention.

Linshuo Palace.

"Your Majesty, good news!"

"The Duke of Qi achieved victory!"

The waiter happily entered the palace to report.

"Luo Cheng has reported victory again?" The emperor was in a good mood. Although he retreated in a hurry, the retreat was smooth after all. Moreover, he received good news just after passing Linyu Pass. They defeated two groups of rebel soldiers, first surrendered Wang Bo and then defeated Wang Yong, and captured [-] rebels.

And Zhang Xutuo and Pei Renji also repelled Yang Xuangan's attacks again and again when he was in Hulao Pass.

Hejian Yang Shanhui and Du Ruhui also prevented Li Mi from going north.

"Tell me quickly, what kind of victory was won!"

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Qi sent an express message of [-] liga from Nanyang. On May [-]th, in Xinye, Nanyang, he captured and beheaded the false Chu Emperor Yang Xuangan, and captured and beheaded Yang's thief brother Yang Xuanzong and other five people. More than [-] rebels were captured. Killed more than [-] people."

Upon hearing the news, Yang Guang couldn't help standing up.

"Yang Xuangan was captured and beheaded?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, there is a detailed account of the extermination of the rebels. Yang Xuangan fled all the way west and attacked the city of Nanyang for three days. After ten battles, all ten battles were won, the rebel army collapsed and fled all the way south. And Luo Shuai led eight thousand Qingqi to Xinye in the south of Nanyang to intercept the defeated army, and captured tens of thousands of thieves day and night."

"Luo Shuai personally stopped Yang Xuangan and fought against him. He picked Yang Xuangan and cut him off the horse."

"Excellent, I didn't expect Luo Cheng to be able to kill Yang Xuangan solo, it's amazing."

"Hahaha."

The emperor laughed out loud, feeling extremely happy in his heart.

He gritted his teeth with hatred towards Yang Xuangan. If it weren't for him, the Eastern Expedition army would have already besieged the inner city at this time, and the second Eastern Expedition would be victorious, and Goguryeo would be destroyed.

It was this Yang Xuangan that caused him to fail again in the Eastern Expedition.

Moreover, Yang Xuangan's betrayal made him extremely angry because he had trusted him so much, but in the end he stabbed him in the back, especially because he had a very bad head.

"Your Majesty, Wei Wensheng has already punished the Yang brothers."

"It's cheap for them. They should be captured and let all the officials shoot them with arrows, and then punish them with chariots. Then they will be delayed, and finally they will be smashed, and then burned."

Several servants knelt down.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, put an end to the rebellion."

Yang Xuangan was in chaos, and it took only about two months to spin up and down.

But Yang Guang's expression fell silent again, the emperor was not happy.

Because of Yang Xuangan being such a jumping clown, he was defeated in the second Eastern Expedition.

"Your Majesty, Wei Wensheng also has an account. He impeached the Duke of Qi for appeasing traitors and for indulging against the party."

The servant handed over Wei Wensheng's memorial, and Yang Guang read it.

"Those thieves who responded to Yang Ni like this should be killed."

"Your Majesty, Duke Qi also has another book to play."

Luo Cheng had expected that Wei Wensheng would impeach him, so he wrote another memorial to explain the situation in detail, and made a request to exile the captive rebels to the four counties of Liaodong to enrich Liaodong, let them open up wasteland and expand the land, and support them. quartermaster.

Yang Guang, who was still very dissatisfied with Luo Cheng, fell silent after seeing the memorial.

Half a day later, Yang Guang sighed, "Although Luo Cheng is young, he has the talent to become a general. You can see that his vision and methods are much better than Wei Wensheng's in dealing with the prisoners. Although killing them all It can relieve the anger for a while, but it is really better to be exiled to Liaodong."

"Call Yu Shiji and the others to come."

According to the emperor's decree, several prime ministers with the title of participating in the government came.

Several people in Yu Shiji also heard the news of the great victory in Nanyang, and congratulated the emperor when they came in.

"Well, dear friends, take a look at this memorial first."

The Prime Minister of the Great Sui Dynasty was originally the chief of the three provinces, Shangshuling, Neishiling and Nayan.The three provinces were originally Menxia Province, Zhongshu Province, and Menxia Province, but in order to avoid Yang Zhong’s loyalty, the Yang family changed Zhongshu Province to Internal History Province, Zhongshu Ling to Nei Shiling, and Menxia Shizhong to Na However, the three provinces are still three provinces, and these three high-ranking officials are also the current prime ministers.

However, after Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, in order to get rid of the constraints of those prestigious ministers, now there is only one Su Wei as Nayan, and neither the Neishi Ling nor the Shangshu Ling has been given to anyone, and even the two adjutants of the Shangshu Province, Youyoupushe, have not been appointed. to teach.

The three provinces, apart from Men Xia Sheng Na Yan, Shang Shu Sheng is now only presided over by Zuo Cheng, and Internal History Province is only presided over by Minister of Internal History. In order to allow his confidants Yu Shiji and others to exercise the real power of prime minister, Yang Guang had to give them the title of participating in political affairs .

Now there are only five people with this title, and they are Su Wei, Pei Yun, Pei Shiju, Yu Shiji and Yu Wenshu, who are called the five nobles of the great cause.

Yu Wenshu and Liaoxi, the other four nobles were all there at this time, and after reading the memorial, they were not in a hurry to speak.

"I don't know who wrote this memorial?" Yu Shiji asked first.

"Don't worry about who uploaded it, just say how well it is written?"

Yu Shiji secretly looked at the emperor's eyes, and decided that the emperor agreed with the memorial, so he said, "It is feasible, and it is very good." This is why Yu Shiji has been favored these years. His advice to the emperor is not based on facts at all, but is completely It was made according to the emperor's preferences, and it was truly flattering and offered.

The other three also nodded, saying that it was possible.

"Well, since the four lovers have agreed, then Luo Cheng's memorial is really good. Then draw up an order to deal with the rebels in this way. In addition, send an order to Luo Cheng and call him to Luoyang to meet the saint. See you, I can't wait to see this meritorious minister."

The emperor laughed.

Only then did Yu Shiji and others realize that this memorial was actually written by Luo Cheng, and they were secretly surprised.

Seeing how happy the emperor is, I don't know how Luo Cheng will be favored after this visit.

It seems that the five nobles of the great cause are about to become the sixth nobles of the great cause.
