Great Sui Dynasty

Chapter 24 Battle in Qingzhou

On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, the weather in Daxing City was still cold, and the wind that had stopped for several days began to blow again. On the official road leading to Luoyang, thousands of horses were galloping.The roar of iron hooves and the neighing of war horses drifted away with the wind.This army has no banner, so people don't know where they are going and what they are going to do.

"My lord, everything has been prepared. I just wait until Qingzhou to let go. But Feihong has not heard the news of Qingzhou. I don't know what the situation is in Qingzhou. I hope it will not exceed our estimate, otherwise It's a little troublesome to deal with." Fang Xuanling is indeed worthy of being a master of internal affairs, and has almost arranged everything before receiving specific news from Qingzhou.

This group of people is of course Yang Hao and his party, and they are preparing to send troops to Qingzhou just after the Shangyuan Festival.After entering the palace on the [-]th day of the first lunar month and asking Emperor Yang for instructions on sending troops, he decided to send troops today. Although he still hasn't heard from Feihong, it is estimated that it will only be a few days.From Daxing to Qingzhou, it will take some time even if it is a fast horse, and Feihong just rushed to Qingzhou just after the Chinese New Year. Even if there is a carrier pigeon to deliver the news, it will have to wait for a while.But now that he has a think tank by his side, even if he gets news on the road, he can analyze the situation as quickly as possible, so Yang Hao doesn't want to wait any longer.

Another reason is that after Yang Hao entered the palace and received instructions, he went back to the mansion to prepare the dowry gift and go to the Yin family to make an offer. If he didn't give the offer quickly, by the time Yang Ye returned triumphantly, Yin Mingyue might have already become someone else's wife. Well, the fate of parents in this era is no joke.

When Yang Hao came to the Yin family to hire, Yin Shishi secretly refused at first, although he also knew about his daughter and Yang Hao, but it is taboo at first sight for a minister and a prince to be married Therefore, Yin Shishi could not help but be cautious. It would not matter if Yang Hao was the prince, but there was also a grandson of the emperor, and he was a minister appointed by the emperor to assist the grandson of the emperor in managing Daxing City. done.In the end, Yang Hao proposed to issue a decree to Emperor Yang to give him a marriage, and it was all about it. Yin Shishi also knew that the emperor would not care about it, and since the emperor's grandson was still young, there should be no problem, so he agreed.

Yang Hao proposed to marry Yin Mingyue after he returned from suppressing the rebellion in Qingzhou. Yin Shishi also agreed. It doesn't happen overnight, and if something goes wrong, my daughter doesn't have to be a widow.It's just that what Yang Hao doesn't know is what kind of thrilling things he will experience when he marries Yin Mingyue.

"Well, it's okay, Feihong can pass the news over in just a few days, we don't need to go too fast, although these thousands of people have been on the battlefield, but after reorganization in my hands, there is no real report I have been in actual combat with swords and guns, and I don’t know the specific combat effectiveness, otherwise I really don’t have confidence in going directly to the Qingzhou battlefield.”

"According to Feihong and Qianqiu's news, there have been a lot of robbers near the official road from Luoyang to the capital recently, which is just right for us to train and test their combat effectiveness." After being on the battlefield, I don’t know how the specific cooperation will be. After all, if you change teams, it’s usually just basic training, and at most it’s some confrontation training, but everyone is basically familiar with it. , facing the so-called 100 million rebels, if you are not careful, the entire army will be wiped out in minutes.

Of course, after Yang Hao made this decision, the doom of those robbers and bandits had already been decided.

After several times of bandit suppression operations, the cooperation of these thousands of people became higher and higher. There were still some problems at the beginning, but in the end, only one or two centurions were needed to destroy the bandits.Faced with such a result, Yang Hao shamelessly said a word that everyone admired: "Practice is the only criterion for testing truth."

Of course, the people near the official road didn't know that the bandits had disappeared. They didn't know where the bandits had gone until more and more caravans passed by and were no longer threatened.

The troops bypassed Luoyang City and continued to advance. It wasn't that Yang Hao didn't want to go in and take a look at Luoyang, the city of the Eastern Capital. It's just that under the order of Emperor Yangdi, many soldiers from the south began to gather in Luoyang City. Luoyang is now the capital of Luoyang. He doesn't want to get involved in a place where dragons and snakes mix right and wrong, let alone delay the trip because of it.

"Master, Feihong has the latest news from Qingzhou." When staying at the Liyang Posthouse, No. [-] took a piece of news and knocked on the door of the room where he was discussing with Fang Du, Li Jing and others.

"Oh, read it out and let everyone know." Yang Hao said, so as not to have to pass it on one by one later.

"Yes."

"According to the intelligence investigation of my Qingzhou detachment, the Qingzhou rebels claim to be in the millions, but actually only 20 people have a certain combat effectiveness. The people were all snatched from the government and local troops."

"Among them, Wang Bo gathered more than 15 people in the Changbai Mountain area, and now it has grown to [-]. He is attacking Qi County and Beihai County. Except for Licheng (now Jinan), all other places in Qi County have been rebelled. If the army takes over, Beihai County is also in jeopardy."

"Pingyuan tycoon Liu Badao and Douzikeng raised an army, gathering more than [-] people. The so-called 'Uncle's Army' is attacking all parts of Bohai County, and at the same time, they are attacking Licheng together with Wang Bo."

"There have been uprisings in other places, but they are not on a scale so far. The local governments should be able to solve them on their own. It's just that the officials in the occupied areas of Qi County, Beihai County, and Bohai County are dying and fleeing. There is chaos everywhere."

"These are the details." Number Two read for a long time, and finally finished reading all the information.

"Well, send an order to the Qianqiu team to try to break into the rebel army and assassinate its senior leaders."

"Everyone, tell me what you think about the current situation. Let's talk about it." Yang Hao spoke.

"I don't think the current situation is too bad. It's much better than I imagined. At least I know that the rebel army's million is an exaggeration, and the rebel army is only limited to the three counties, and it's not too out of control." Fang Xuanling Said that this is what he is most concerned about. If the area involved is too wide, then he will have a headache. Arranging officials is not an easy task.

"I think the most important thing at present is our military strength. We only have more than 3000 available soldiers, while the opponent has nearly 20 soldiers. We must have [-] soldiers to be invincible. Only these Where do they come from is the key." Du Ruhui, the Sima of the Prince's Mansion, is currently in charge of the military, so of course he has to consider the issue of soldiers.

"Soldiers are not a problem. At that time, we will borrow two to 3000 people from each county. Together with Qingzhou's original military strength, it should be almost the same. It's just that these have not been resolved, and the borrowed will eventually have to be repaid, even if they are forced to stay. Only a small part can be left, so what we have to do is to expand the force as soon as the counter-insurgency is over."

"The rebel army is our main source of soldiers. Everyone should know this. And what we have to consider is how to win this war. What does Pharmacist think about this?" Yang Hao asked Li Jing after finishing his thoughts.

"There are two issues. One is how to fight. Should we fight a local war or a general war? I think we can only fight a large part of the war with our strength. The second is where to fight. Whether to fight from the back of the rebels or from the Head-to-head, head-to-head. We have the support of Qingzhou's troops and we may not fail, but I am afraid that there will not be many left of these 3000 people. My suggestion is that the prince transfers troops from various counties. No matter whether they can be integrated or not, as long as they are in Can the frontal battlefield hold back the rebel army, can the 3000 of the lord's army use the method of guerrilla warfare described in the lord's military book to consume the opponent's vital strength little by little." Sure enough, he is a military god, just by reading a few military books. With such a successful plan, who would still be his opponent after leading troops for a period of time?

"Well, what the pharmacist said is right. We should open up two battlefields, attracting people from the front, and encroaching on the enemy's rear, so as to put down the rebellion at the lowest cost." Yang Hao made the final decision.
