Sui Dynasty: I, Yang Guang, am both scrupulous and stable

Chapter 37 The Yang family cannot afford to lose this person

"The emperor guards the country, but his children and grandchildren die in the country!!"

What kind of courage was this. Everyone in the court was speechless for a moment. Yang Jian's eyes were filled with excitement, and he even couldn't wait to praise Yang Guang's words, but as the emperor, he still stayed put.

The court was quiet for a while. When no one spoke, Yang Jian finally spoke: "King Jin, you are now supervising the construction of Daxing City and cannot be transferred outside at will. I think Captain Sundu's strategy is more feasible, to divert the southern army to the north. , the entire northern front had better prepare to fight against the Turks and prepare for long-term operations."

"His Majesty……"

"His Majesty!"

"I have made up my mind. No need to say more. Daxing City will continue to be built. 15 civilians will be ready to serve as military reserves. Chang Sun Sheng will lead troops to the Turks. According to your plan, we will engage in distant and close attacks and divide the Turks for a long time. Order Youzhou to lead troops to fight against the Turks. .”

"The minister leads the order."

Gao Jiong and others knew the emperor's intention and could only shake their heads and sigh. The deployment of troops in the Sui Dynasty was completely chaotic. Moreover, once the troops were transferred from the south to the north, it would take a long time to move back. A long-term war with the Turks would be a long time. This means that Yang Jian gave up on unifying the Central Plains in a short time.

Yang Jian still firmly chose to implement such a big decision.

Because he knew that if he really made peace with the Turks, as Chang Sun Sheng said, the Turks would still come after a while. When he really wanted to send his army south to unify the Central Plains in the future, the Turks in the north would still be like a root. The spikes on his back were killing him at all times.

This time he was determined. Even if it took nearly ten years as Chang Sun Sheng said, he still had to solve the Turkic problem first.

This period of time will definitely allow Nanchen to recuperate, relying on the land in the south of the Yangtze River, it will be extremely troublesome for them to catch their breath, and Emperor Chen Xuan is also a man of great talent and strategy. Although the Taikang Northern Expedition failed in the past two years, his intentions can be seen.

One of the reasons why Yang Guang dared to do this was because the current emperor of the Chen Dynasty, Chen Xuandi, Chen Xu, had been ill in bed for a long time, and the Chen Dynasty was in chaos.

……

After leaving the main hall, Yuan Xiaoju discussed with the ministers. He was heartbroken. When he saw Yang Guangxing approaching, he raised his voice and said, "A child is harming the country, a child is harming the country."

He deliberately loudly told Yang Guang that although his daughter, Yang Yong's concubine, was not favored, she was still the crown prince's official concubine. He was one of the core figures of the princeling party, so he naturally had to suppress Yang Guang.

Changsun Sheng walked to Yang Guang's side. Today, the two people who had never had any friendship in the court agreed with each other and formed an alliance.

"Your Highness, today I say that the emperor will guard the country and his children and grandchildren will die for the country. I really admire him for his great courage. Although your Highness is not very old, his vision is much further than those timid old guys. He is short-sighted and only thinks about marrying his daughter every day. How can it be said? Aren’t there people like him?”

This shouldn't be said about Sang scolding Huai, it was scolded directly at the door of the house. Yuan Xiaoju was not going well today, but Yang Guang really saw what it was like to blow his beard and stare.

"Captain, the eldest grandson, will go on an expedition soon. Please take care of yourself. I heard that the eldest grandson has a son who is extremely intelligent. Please communicate with me more."

"That kid is very playful, as long as His Highness doesn't find it objectionable."

Yuan Xiaoju, who was standing next to him, obviously didn't want the two of them to have such a pleasant chat. He came over and said disgustingly: "Captain Changsun, His Royal Highness the King of Jin is young. You are so warlike and cater to your likes and dislikes. You will become a big sinner in the future."

Changsun Sheng also refused to give in: "I don't know how Yuan Zhongzai (Yuan Xiaoju Luoyang Zhongzai) knew that our army will be defeated."

"Victory or defeat is always unpredictable, so how do you know you will win?"

"Our army is strong and well-prepared, and the Turks are no match for the barbarians. As long as we keep fighting, we will win."

"It's ridiculous and harms the country and the people."

After all, Yang Guang didn't bother to talk to him. He only left one sentence before leaving: "Yuan Zhongzai, I, Yang Guang, will not allow my daughter of the Yang family to go out for a wedding, even if she dies in the main hall." , I have to stop him, my Yang family cannot afford to lose this person." After saying goodbye to Changsun Sheng at the gate of the imperial city, Yang Guang took a carriage and headed home.

Today was the first time that he experienced competition in the court, and he also participated in it.

The biggest feeling is that I admire Yang Jian. The ministers can speak freely in his hall. Yuan Xiaoju, Changsun Sheng, Gao Jiong and himself can all speak, and he will not get angry because anyone's words are offensive. He can listen. What the ministers said, but he is very independent and firm-minded.

After making the final decision, he did not blame any of the arguing parties.

Perhaps it was Yang Jian who could reunify the Central Plains.

After returning home, Li Jing heard what happened today and said eagerly: "Your Highness, you are impulsive. How can you ask for an order to lead troops in the court? You have never led troops and have no close followers. Marching and fighting is extremely risky." .”

"Don't worry, my father doesn't agree to my going either."

"Your Highness is too impulsive." Li Jing was even more anxious than Yang Guang himself, but he immediately said: "But what Your Highness said is right, these methods of marriage are just a delaying tactic after all, and they are underhanded tactics. Your Highness is right, but His Highness Don’t be so impulsive next time.”

"I know, I know, how can a little kid like you be like an old man?"

"Your Highness, I am doing this for your own good."

Yang Guang asked: "Li Jing, do you think we can win against the Turks?"

"I think Captain Changsun's strategy is very good. Although it may not be effective in a short period of time, this strategy of differentiation is excellent. Comparing our advantages and disadvantages with those of nomadic peoples like the Turks, our biggest advantage should be our follow-up supply capability. The Turks cannot fight protracted battles with us. The characteristics of their nation determine that they fight in different places, including Khitan, which is actually very different from Goguryeo. The biggest advantage of our army is still its supply capacity. Although the consumption is huge, we The army can fight a long war, but they cannot."

This is the war intuition of the future military god.

"If Li Jing asked you to fight, how would you fight?"

"I have never fought in a war, but I feel that if the regular troops are in the front, supplemented by surprise troops, and the attack and defense depend on the situation, the Sui Dynasty's army will be invincible if it has a head-on confrontation with the Turks. However, there is no need to overly strive for victory, so the main army is in front, and then small groups of surprise troops are used to make several surprise attacks and nuisances. Moreover, our army should quickly switch between offense and defense, depending on the enemy's situation. Attack is an opportunity to defend, and defense is a strategy to attack. It’s just that we both return to Kesheng.”

"What if a small group of surprise troops encounters an enemy in a surprise attack and is annihilated?"

"The purpose of the strange soldiers is not to win, but to cause nuisance. Your Highness asked me to read the military books. I asked the master for a lot of them. Among them were records of previous battles between the Turks. I found that the Turks actually did not understand tactics."

"Why do you say that?"

“Throughout the intrusion of the northern nomads into the Central Plains, the cavalrymen suddenly attack, catching them off guard, and rarely siege the city. They just grab and run away. However, our northern border is extremely long, and they can always find a gap. They mainly relied on cavalry to charge fiercely, and they did not have writing like ours, so it was naturally difficult to write down books and spread their battle experience. Most of their combat experience was passed down by word of mouth. Except for a few talented people, most of them didn't understand tactics. We don't have to think about it. It’s complicated.”

"Fight steadily, neither in a hurry nor in a hurry, advance slowly, and don't get caught up in the enemy's rhythm. Our army should be able to defeat it."

Yang Guang was surprised. Li Jing would fight like this in the future, using surprises and seeking changes while maintaining stability. Although people talked about Li Jing's surprise attack on the Turkic imperial court with three thousand soldiers and horses, this kind of conspiracy was Li Jing attracted most of the attention in a head-on battle. It was purely based on cunning. That was not Li Jing.

Therefore, it seems that Li Jing's wars often involve outlandish plots, but in fact they are all steady and steady battles to destroy the country.

Li Jing continued: "Actually, I have another idea, to imitate Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty and use thousands of rangers to guerrilla the Turks for a long time, just like the Turks harass us."

I guess, guerrilla warfare.
