Great Sui Dynasty

"Today, we are here, standing under the hero monument, missing our heroes. It is they who exchanged blood for victory in this war! It is them who use their lives to protect the safety of this city! It is them who use their lives to protect the safety of this city! Souls to protect their beloved compatriots and common people!" Yang Hao's words were heavy and firm.

"I, Yang Hao, once swore to all the soldiers that I would commemorate every dead hero and erect a monument for them! Today I did it! Their names are engraved on this stone tablet that will stand forever, and they will last forever. For people to admire. May their heroic spirits last forever, and I salute them on behalf of all the people of Qingzhou!" After speaking, Yang Hao bowed deeply to the newly erected hero monument engraved with the names of the martyrs.

"Qiang~" The uniform movements and voices came from the armored warriors below, how much affection was contained in a deep bow, how many men who bleed but did not shed tears, shed tears on the ground at this moment.

Many people who lost their sons, husbands, and fathers burst into tears.Not from grief, but from having such respect and admiration after death.

"I once said to my soldiers that meritorious deeds must be rewarded, faults must be punished, and those who die for the country will be compensated. Now I will reiterate my promise to my sons and daughters in Qingzhou, the people, and the heroes! Those who died for the country, Those who sacrifice their lives to protect the common people and compatriots will have their pensions increased by five times, and their family members will be exempted from servitude and taxation for ten years. This king must not chill the hearts of heroes, let alone thousands of families!" Yang Hao said this as if It is said with a roar.

"Roar! Roar! Roar~" Tens of thousands of soldiers were moved to the ground by these words. No one has ever taken these soldiers seriously. Heavenly people tell them, no, it is to show them in practice, to really value and cherish them.

"Willing to serve the lord! Willing to give up this body, and swear to protect it to the death!"

"Defend to the death! Protect to the death!" Someone below shouted, and then all the soldiers shouted loudly.

"Swear to protect to the death, to protect our country, our nation, our compatriots, and our faith!!"

After paying homage to the heroes, Yang Hao made a post-war report and announced and released some rewards at the same time.

Because of his bravery in combat, Qin Qiong made outstanding contributions in the battle of Changbai Mountain and the battle to kill Wang Bo, and was directly promoted from Lieutenant Zhaowu to General Ningyuan under the fifth rank.

Because of his bravery in combat, Luo Shixin was promoted to Zhenwei Deputy Lieutenant of the sixth rank.

Xu Qing, Jin Yu, Han Qiang, and Yang Fan were promoted to General Gui Delang and General Ranger respectively from the fifth rank.

Because of Chen Jian's meritorious service in defending the city, Yang Hao recommended him as Shangzhou Sima on the fifth rank.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's official positions are too high, so they will temporarily record their merits and reward them together at that time.

Li Jing was recommended by Yang Hao as a loyal general of the fourth rank.

The rest are all rewarded.It didn't matter about it, but the money that was rewarded was spent like flowing water, which made Xiao Shunzi's heart ache to death.I forgot to mention that on the third day after the end of the battle in Licheng, Xiao Shunzi came to Licheng from Jiyin City. Of course, he was accompanied by the five hundred military craftsmen and the "master of medicine" Princess Qinghui.

On February [-], the dragon raised its head.The imperial capital, Daxing City is currently performing a scene of sacrificial activities.

I do not know when a high platform was built on the outskirts of Daxing City.At this moment, Emperor Yang Guang, who is the Ninth Five-Year King, stood on the altar to worship the heaven and the earth.The ministers under the stage were lined up neatly, with solemn expressions. Although each of them was usually majestic, they did not dare to show any disrespect to the gods.This year, there has been no rain in Daxing City since the end of the new year and the beginning of the first month. Even the day when the dragon raised its head was full of sunshine. It is estimated that this year will not be easy.

"The emperor burns incense, sacrifices to heaven and earth, and prays for blessings!" A star official served as the host of this sacrifice.

Yang Guang worshiped heaven and earth according to the instructions of the star officials, and the ministers in the audience followed suit one by one.

"Since I came to the throne, I have been sleeping long and hard, working hard for my Great Sui Yongxing, and I dare not neglect at all. I hope that all the gods of all walks of life will bless my Great Sui Dynasty!" Yang Guang said loudly with a solemn expression, facing God, even if he is the Son of Heaven, he will inevitably feel awe.However, the people in the audience felt quite uncomfortable when they heard his words. It is good to be happy all night long, but it is really hard work to have fun every night and every day.

"However, there is a country of Yelang who refuses to accept my teachings and repeatedly offends my face. I will personally lead the brave to conquer it, and become the king of the universe. I hope the gods will bless you." Worshiping the sky is one reason, and it is even more important. The most important thing is to mobilize for the conquest of Goryeo and pray for God's blessing.

"Korea has been taught repeatedly and has not changed, and this year has not paid tribute. I am very angry. I will never quench my anger." Yang Guang said angrily.

"The last time I commanded the army did not achieve anything, and my elites suffered heavy losses. My heart aches. Now that a hundred countries have come to court, I feel very relieved. I will once again command the army to shake the night. I hope that the soldiers of the three armies will use their lives so that the world can see my great Sui's strength." An elite teacher. Three days later, the soldiers will go to Korea!" The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven became Yang Guang's swearing-in meeting.

In the spring of the ninth year of Daye, the emperor came out of Daxing and sent troops to Korea.Thousands of miles of flags, silk pavement, hundreds of officials seeing off, beauties in the harem competing for beauty, envoys from various countries competing to accompany, the scene is extremely luxurious!It can be said that Guo Chunfeng is ten miles away, and the colorful flags compete with each other.

Incomparably extravagant ostentation, a colossal team swaggering through the city, tens of thousands of fine riders cleared the way, marching on the official road from Daxing to Luoyang, pedestrians and dogs raced to avoid it.

Such a flamboyant team doesn't look like they are going to fight, but more like an emperor going on tour and playing.At this time, Yang Guang no longer had the vigor he had when he took the oath as a master, and he took the envoys from various countries to visit the mountains and rivers along the way, and the beauties in the harem played the flute every night.The original three-day journey actually took nearly half a month, and states and counties along the way came to worship, but Yang Guang turned a deaf ear to this disturbing voice.

After arriving in Luoyang, Yang Guang did not immediately gather the various armies that had originally gathered in Luoyang, and was still addicted to traveling in the mountains and rivers for pleasure.

"Your Majesty, it's time to calm down. Don't forget the purpose of our trip." Empress Xiao carefully reminded Yang Guang after seeing that Yang Guang was still indulging in wine and scenery.Since Yang Guang came to the throne, he began to reveal his true nature, and he no longer obeyed Xiao Hou's words.Although Empress Xiao's status is unshakable, she no longer dares to point fingers at Yang Guang, otherwise she would not allow Yang Guang to indulge in her beauty, no matter what the status of a woman, even a queen who is as noble as her mother would love her. There is jealousy.

"I'll save it, don't bother the queen to remind you." Although Yang Guang replied like this, it was still a few days after he visited all the places that should be visited in Luoyang before he started to meet with the leading generals and began to assign tasks.

At this time, Yiqi was galloping along the official road from Licheng to Daxing.
