Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 486

After all, Feng Yuzhi was also from a family background and understood etiquette. She prepared gifts for every woman in Yang Ming's East Palace, and she also went to meet the crown princess Yang Yinjiang and side concubine Pei Shuying.

She was used to being on the same level as Yang Ming. After all, the two formed a romantic relationship during the spring outing. She felt that Yang Ming's personality was very good, which was very suitable for her appetite.

But when facing Yang Yinjiang and Pei Shuying, she had to be more careful. Yang Yinjiang was serious, and Pei Shuying didn't like to deal with outsiders, both gave people a strong sense of distance.

During the spring outing that year, Feng Yuzhi quarreled with Yan Xiaotang, took care of Wei Xianhui who jumped into the river, and saw Gao Yue's beauty, and she was quite familiar with these three people.

Gao Yue didn't see it, but met Yan Xiaotang and Wei Xianhui. During the chat with them, Feng Yuzhi felt a little uncomfortable.

Because neither of them was pregnant.

"You have lived by his side for long enough, why don't you have twins?" Feng Yuzhi frowned.

Yan Xiaotang smiled helplessly: "I don't know either, maybe it's because there are few opportunities to share the same bed."

"That's the disadvantage of being a petty person." Feng Yuzhi curled his lips and said bluntly: "Look at his first wife, she has already given birth to three sons."

"Shh~~ Keep your voice down, don't talk nonsense," Wei Xianhui hurriedly made a silent gesture.

The female family members of the Eastern Palace are all under the care of Yang Yinjiang, and this princess only respects two people, Pei Shuying and Chen Shuyi, and the rest, no matter what your background is, you can't get close to them.

When they were in Prince Qin's Mansion before, the place was small, and the two of them could often meet Yang Ming, but now it is not easy for Yang Ming to come to the huge East Palace, and the number of intercourse is so pitiful that until now, both of them no kids.

"Guess, it's pitiful enough. Sister Gao Yue is even more pitiful. She stays alone in the Qin Palace, lonely and helpless," Feng Yuzhi couldn't help sighing:

"This is what the common people say, it is better to be a poor man's wife than a rich man's concubine."

Wei Xianhui explained: "Actually, it's not that His Highness is in the cold. It's just that the state affairs are heavy. The prince and the prince are different. Since His Highness came to the East Palace, he has never been idle. Every time I see him, I feel very distressed."

"You feel sorry for him, but he doesn't feel sorry for you," Feng Yuzhi deliberately amplified his voice when he heard the movement from outside the door.

"You can't talk about people's faults in small talk, look, I heard you?" Yang Ming stepped into the threshold with a smile, and said to Feng Yuzhi: "Do you know whether my heart hurts?"

Feng Yuzhi said in a strange tone: "If you really feel sorry for you, you should let the two of them get pregnant with your child earlier. It's better now. I've been a woman for you for so long, and my stomach is flat. Don't you know that women think of a big belly as a reason? Honor?"

Under Yan Xiaotang's service, Yang Ming changed into a thin shirt, took off his boots and sat at the table, saying:
"You also want to take care of my housework?"

"I'm fighting for injustice," Feng Yuzhi glanced at Yan Xiaotang and Wei Xianhui again, and said, "My heart aches when I see them both like this."

Yang Ming smiled, put his hand on Yan Xiaotang's thigh beside him, and said:
"Okay, I have already greeted Guan Wang at the court meeting today, and the next daily discussion will be changed to Shangshu Province, which will be presided over by him. I will take you out to relax."

Yan Xiaotang and Wei Xianhui were very excited and hurriedly asked where they were going.

Where else can I go?Yang Ming didn't dare to run far, and he couldn't walk for too long, then he could only go to Zhongnan Mountain, so go hunting.

The three daughters were quite happy, Feng Yuzhi also liked hunting, and threatened to take Gao Yue with him, otherwise she would not go.

So that night, Yang Ming took them and Dugu Feng'er back to Prince Qin's Mansion, and went to Jinyang Tower to enjoy singing and dancing the next night.

After everything was ready, the group headed to Zhongnan Mountain for hunting.

Li Jing's affairs in Luoyang are almost settled. As a vanguard, he needs to get on the road as soon as possible.

The three big warehouses in Luoyang are completely in luck. They go northward by water, then by land, enter Chidao, and then go to Zhuojun.

The elite troops in Guanzhong are all preparing, and the emperor has issued an edict. In March next year, the 24th army will meet in Zhuojun, and the emperor of the Sui Dynasty will personally conquer Goguryeo.

Yang Guang's edict against Goguryeo has not been announced to the public, but the marching sequence of the army has been announced.

There are a few differences from the original plan.

Yang Guang is the marshal of the march, and he has six corps under his direct control: the outer army, the inner army, the left army, the right army, the rear army, and the front army.

Yu Wenshu was the general manager of the marching army, and he was the general manager of the [-]th Route Pioneer Army.

The 24th Route Army is composed of cavalry regiment, infantry regiment, supply regiment, advocacy team, cymbal cavalry team, bow and arrow team and rear troops.

Among them, the advocacy team and the cymbal cavalry team belong to the military band, and the cymbal is a percussion instrument in the army, shaped like a bell.

On the East Turkic side, Yang Guang also sent an invitation, not to invite you to participate in the battle, but to invite you to watch the battle, let you see the might of our Sui army.

In fact, it was still pretending, in order to deter the Eastern Turks so that they would not have the courage to offend the Sui Dynasty.

The Hedong refinery is rushing to work day and night, and after batches of ordnance are released, they will be escorted away immediately.

The Guanzhong army is changing their outfits, and the replaced weapons will be handed over to those troops who are not elite. Anyway, good things must be followed by the Guanzhong children first, who will let them play the vanguard.

Right now, Tai Sui is making final preparations intensively.

No accident, after Yu Wenkai passed away, the task of repairing the bridge really fell on He Chou.

After He Chou received the order, he took a group of his subordinates and Li Chun's group to Zhuojun one step ahead of time, and sent spies to cross the Liaoxi Corridor to measure the width of the Liaohe River.

Yang Ming greeted him and reminded him of the length of the floating bridge, so He Chou didn't dare to neglect.

As for Li Chun whom Yang Ming recommended to him, he already knew his name and admired him very much.

"The Liaohe River is fast and wide, so it's not easy to build a pontoon bridge. The bridge is light and easily washed away by the water, and the bridge is heavy so it can't bear the load." In a mansion in Ji County, the capital of Zhuo County, Li Chun was discussing with He Chou about the pontoon bridge. .

He Chou nodded and said, "The Liao River is not under my control. If you want to build a pontoon bridge by laying boards on small boats, you need to build the boat in advance, which will take a lot of time."

Li Chundao: "It's simple. Don't build the boats, but borrow them. We will now go to the imperial court and ask for a hundred small boats to be dismantled in Zhuojun County. They will be transported to the front line in ox carts in the future, and then they will be reinstalled and tied up with ropes." , can greatly shorten the time."

He Chou sighed: "I agree with your idea, but there are two problems. The disassembled hull is not easy to transport. Moreover, after dismantling, it will not be easy to assemble in the future."

In fact, in ancient China, the pontoon bridges made by the army were all standard pontoon bridges, that is to say, it had a complete process and process, and there were a lot of parts assembled, so the pontoon bridges made were very stable.

However, the standard pontoon bridges appeared after the Song Dynasty, but there was no such thing in the Sui Dynasty, and they were always built temporarily according to local conditions.

Just like how thick you worry, it is easy to dismantle a ship, but it is not easy if you want to restore it to its original form. Moreover, the hull is not small, and it is not easy to transport it by cattle, horses and mule carts. The main reason is that the road conditions in the Hexi Corridor are too bad. One foot is shallow and the other is a swamp.

Not to mention the Hexi Corridor, Zhuo County also has a lot of swamps, because Zhuo County is Tianjin, and it is a coastal line with the Liaoxi Corridor.

From Zhuojun to Goguryeo, the Sui Dynasty will take two roads, starting from Lulong County in Beiping County, passing through the Luan River to Xiguo, that is, the Chengde area of ​​Hebei, after crossing Xiguo, and then entering Liucheng along the Daling River County, this is Lulongdao.

There is also the Liaoxi Corridor, which is called Banghai Road.

As for Yang Guang’s 24-way manager, don’t listen to what he says, in fact, he just walks two ways. It sounds like 24 ways, divided into 24 directions. It seems to be pressing towards Goguryeo like overwhelming. In fact, there are only two ways to go. , those 24 tracks are more like serial numbers.

For the bridge-building troops, they must have taken the road near the sea, because Lulong Road has both water and land routes, which is too much trouble.

Since it was unlucky to dismantle the ship, Li Chun had to find a way. He figured out a rough and shallow standard pontoon structure.

The ship is completely disassembled, each part is marked, cut into small pieces that are easy to transport, and then assembled when it arrives at the destination.

He Chou was very much in favor of this suggestion, and the two of them did what they said. After all, crossing the river was a top priority, and they dared not neglect it.

Right now, Wei Yunqi, the person in charge of the border gate in Zhuojun County, has sent a wide range of rangers to enter the Hexi Corridor, cross Liaodong, and investigate the enemy's situation.

The situation is not optimistic, Goguryeo is ready.

"Goguryeo has already amassed heavy troops on the front line of the Liaohe River. It may not be easy to cross the river for a battle. Your Majesty really shouldn't have issued the marching order so early. Doesn't this make people prepare earlier?" Wei Baoluan, the new prefect of Zhuojun, frowned. road.

Wei Yunqi also sighed: "Forget it, you and I can't persuade you about this matter. The people in Chaotang didn't persuade us, so let's stop talking about it."

"Why didn't the prince persuade you?" Wei Baoluan said, "Soldiers are deceitful. We have already told them the time, route, and list of the general manager. How do we fight? I see, many people will die in Liaohe ah."

Wei Yunqi shook his head and said:

"That's not necessarily the case. I heard that the vanguard who crossed the river was Li Jing. I have dealt with this man in the capital. He is upright and not good at cheating. I thought that without the support of the crown prince, this man would have little success. Until I met him After discussing the art of war in private, I just found out that this person is actually the first general of the Sui Dynasty after Duke Yue, the crown prince is still very powerful, Li Jing is really not good in other places, but in the army, Nailong into the sea, and the tiger returns to the forest."

"Is it as powerful as you?" Wei Baoluan said disdainfully.

Wei Yunqi smiled deeply, and continued to look at the map on the case:

"Let's wait and see."
