Chapter 209 The great cause of virtue has come to an end

On the canopy,
Yang Guang, dressed in battle armor, was sitting on the dragon chariot, looking in a daze.

The surrounding scenery changes.

From Zhuojun, we drove back to Luoyang.

Yang Guang remained silent.

……

Ming dynasty,

Zhu Yuanzhang held the jade belt and looked at the sky, and said quietly:

"The army of one million people has just returned in disgrace."

"Biao'er, why did the Sui Dynasty's massive Eastern Expedition end in failure?"

All the ministers in the palace looked up in horror at the emperor on the throne.

But only the twelve strings of white jade beads swaying slightly could be seen.

Queen Ma, who was sitting on a stool beside her, rolled her eyes.

"And people who are too smooth-floating find it difficult to withstand pressure and blows."

The blazing sun scorched the field seedlings to death.

next moment,
It reaches Hebei in the north and Jiangnan in the south.
It reaches Shandong in the east and Hexi in the west.

War fires are everywhere, and a single spark starts a prairie fire!
……

The screen turned,
The originally bright and high Sui Dynasty was surrounded by black air.

"Well, tell me."

After hearing the edict, the people stared angrily.

"Two and three levies are measures he is eager to prove himself."

"Okay... What an ambitious emperor!"

……

A blazing golden wheel hung in the sky.

Liu Qi looked at his father in horror.

"If the war is restricted by the weather in the Northeast, it can only be carried out between the end of the cold in March and April and the onset of the rainy season in June and July. Therefore, it is impossible to take advantage of the Sui Dynasty's large number of people to fight a protracted war."

……

Dou Yifang, who was on the side, looked worriedly at Liu Heng, who was sneering.

"For example, the roads in Liaodong are rugged and transportation is not smooth."

"There are many reasons."

Countless locusts and worms flew out of the cracked ground, covering the sky.

Zhu Biao in front of him said respectfully:

"Today, we are raising the sea to fill the mountains, but we still hope that we will lose the fruit. How much more so!"

Yellow dust was billowing, and a horse galloped over.

"There are many reasons, but there is only one most important reason."

"That's why he organized the troops like a march."

"Your Majesty has an order! Recruit troops!"

"Twenty-four armies will march forward side by side, without a commander, and they will pull and contain each other."

"Your Majesty has an order! Recruit troops!"

In Hebei and Shandong, little stars are shining.

Zhu Biao said respectfully:
"Emperor Sui Yang is too confident."

"Like Goguryeo facing a powerful enemy, we share the same hatred."

"The ultimate reason is that he has been too smooth in the past few years as emperor, and he is too confident. His confidence has reached the point of arrogance, and he has been blinded by arrogance."

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and winked at Queen Ma who was standing aside. Then he straightened his back and said calmly:

A sarcastic comment burst out between his teeth.

The period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty
"Hahaha!"

The people without food cried holding empty rice vats.

"We will put recruitment and surrender before fighting, allowing the enemy to exploit loopholes repeatedly and delaying combat opportunities."

"The battle of Goguryeo was not based on fighting at all, but was based on the hope that the enemy would be defeated without fighting by intimidation."

On the canopy,
"The little captive from Goryeo is insulting the country above."

[In the first month of 613 AD, Yang Guang issued an edict again, recruiting soldiers from all over the world to gather in Zhuo County to conquer Goguryeo again. 】

We have just fought a war that used all the strength of the country and all the wealth in the world!

Just suffered a disastrous defeat!

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers just donated their bodies on the battlefield!
Millions of people are on the verge of death and despair because of this clueless war!

And this crazy emperor ignored all this.

Do you still want tragedy to happen again? !

……

[Just when Goguryeo was in danger, Yang Xuangan, the minister who supervised the transportation of military supplies, raised troops to rebel against the Sui Dynasty. 】

[At the same time, peasant uprisings in Hebei, Shandong, Henan and other places are also developing in full swing. 】

[Because the eastern capital Luoyang was in danger, Yang Guang had to withdraw his troops. 】

[Yang Guang, who returned to the eastern capital, ordered thefts and above to be carried out, regardless of the severity, to be killed immediately, and the whole family of any thief would be confiscated. 】

[Ordering local governments to put down the rebellion on their own, adhering to Yang Guang's will, the generals who commanded troops to suppress the rebels began to massacre the people at will. 】

[After Yang Xuangan was suppressed, more than 30,000 people died as a result of the pursuit of party members and accomplices.

[When Yang Xuangan besieged Luoyang, the eastern capital, he opened a warehouse to provide relief to the people. 】

[Yang Guang ordered that anyone who takes grain from Liyang's warehouse, no matter how much, will be put to death. 】

……

The period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty
Liu Bing had already looked at the sky, and he had already given the Sui Dynasty the death penalty in his heart.

How similar is this scene to Emperor Wu in his later years?
But similarity is just similarity.

He didn't think that this person could issue an edict to sin like Emperor Wu.

and……

"The disadvantages are too great..."

Xu Pingjun on the side said curiously:

"What does your Majesty mean by the disadvantages?"

Liu Bing had supported Xu Pingjun and said slowly:

"Let local governments counter insurgency on their own and tacitly agree to decentralization of power."

"As time goes by, the power of local officials, who already have a high degree of autonomy, will expand even more."

"And the balance between mobile political power and locality that he maintained previously when he traveled around will collapse."

"as a result……"

Liu Bing shook his head and said no more.

Then I thought of another thing.

Should Jiangnan be developed?
……

Han Emperor Xian period
Cao Cao was confused for a moment.

Didn't this make a deep impression on you from Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty?
Or are you not impressed by the chaos of our Three Kingdoms?

Do you dare to delegate power?
How dare you?

Aren't you afraid of death?
……

[In February 614 AD, when the situation in the world eased slightly, Yang Guang summoned hundreds of officials to discuss the third expedition. 】

[This time, the court hall was silent. 】

[Yang Guang ignored the opportunity and insisted on going his own way, and once again issued a conscription order to the whole country. 】

[This time is different. Many counties and counties openly disobey orders, and the conscripted soldiers continue to flee. 】

[In March, Yang Guang ordered to use the blood of the deserters' necks to provoke the drums and suppress them brutally. However, it was to no avail, and the number of soldiers fleeing continued unabated. 】

[In July, Goguryeo sued for peace, and Yang Guang ordered the withdrawal of troops. 】

……

Big man,

Liu Bang finally understood it at this time.

"This man has too many character flaws."

Lu Pheasant: Huh?

She looked at the sky curtain and then at Liu Bang, but hesitated to speak. Liu Bang raised his eyes.

Oh ~ I want to ask but I can’t help but feel ashamed?
I wanted to stir up the flames, but when I saw that they were the only two in the hall, I suppressed this thought.

"This guy always gets angry sometimes."

Liu Bang tilted his body and raised his legs.

Lying in Lu Zhi's arms, he talked freely.

"People born with high status rarely suffer setbacks because they have high expectations for life and low tolerance. They will get angry about things that ordinary people don't get angry about."

Lu Pheasant frowned, who are you talking about?
Liu Bang looked at the sky and said indifferently:

"To put it bluntly, it's because I'm used to being arrogant because things go smoothly."

"Look at his past behavior, and then look at his willingness to conquer Goguryeo at all costs."

"This person loves face and is thin-skinned."

"And because he has never suffered setbacks since he was a child, his ability to withstand stress and tolerance are very poor."

"Also...not everyone wants to be as indomitable as Naigong."

Lu Pheasant, who was still nodding, was suddenly startled.

Indeed... no one is thick-skinned enough compared to you.

And thick-skinned...

Lu Pheasant pictured himself sitting on the ground and rolling around in his mind.

!!!

No!

This really doesn’t work!
It turns out that playing rogue also requires talent!
……

Sui Dynasty,

"Pah! You are really crazy!"

Where the whip fell, the skin and flesh were torn.

Yang Guang knelt on the ground with his upper body naked and gritted his teeth to resist.

"If you conquer Goguryeo, I will assume that you want to show off the power of the Sui Dynasty!"

Yang Jian panted and said angrily:
"But the second sign! The third sign! Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey!"

Yang Guang still said nothing.

Seeing this silent stubbornness, Yang Jian was even more furious!

"Snapped!"

"It seems you are still dissatisfied? Why are you dissatisfied?!"

"Snapped!"

"My Sui Dynasty will be finished by you! What are you dissatisfied with!"

"Snapped!"

"I will beat you to death today, you traitor!"

"Snapped!"

……

[The "Book of Changes" says: "Shengde and great deeds are here to stay. Being rich is called a great deed, and being innovative day by day is called prosperous virtue."]

[In 615 AD, Yang Guang was patrolling the Great Wall in the north. Turk Shibi Khan led his troops to attack thirty-nine cities in the Sui Dynasty and besieged Yang Guang in Yanmen. 】

[An arrow shot in front of the emperor. Yang Guang held his youngest son Yang Gao and cried. 】

[Later, someone was sent to Shibi's wife, Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty, for help. Princess Yicheng sent an envoy to inform Shibi that "there was an emergency in the north." In addition, reinforcements from the Sui Dynasty arrived one after another, so Shibi withdrew the siege in September. 】

[In 616 AD, Yang Guang visited Jiangdu three times. 】

[At this time, the Sui Dynasty was full of troubled officials, and it was difficult to return to Guanzhong. 】

[The three expeditions to Goguryeo lost the hearts of the people and defeated the court. The first year of the great cause, which was full of ambitions, has become a thing of the past. 】

……

Playing continues on the marquee
Sunny spring day.

Flowers are in full bloom in the palace gardens of Jiangdu, and warblers are flying and grass is growing.

The newly bloomed plum blossoms were like thousands of pink and white butterflies fluttering and circling in the palace.

"The sound of birds persuades people to drink wine, and the laughter of plum blossoms kills people."

In the Renshou Palace,

The Emperor Mianqi with twelve strings of white jade pendants scattered randomly on the ground.

On the black crown dress, the sun and moon are placed on the shoulders, and the stars are arranged on the back.

Yang Guang held his young son who was stained with blood.

look around.

Yu Wenhuaji stood in front of him and shouted angrily.

Pei Qantong, who was personally promoted, killed his favorite youngest son Yang Gao in front of his face.

Feng Deyi, Sima Dekan...

Everyone is his favorite, everyone is his lover.

"Crash!"

Hundreds of heavily armed soldiers came forward.

Their eyes are like daggers and their faces are like iron.

The shiny armor and swords shone with a cold and hard light in the warm and soft sunlight.

Yang Guang held the body of his youngest son and stood upright while looking at the soldiers drawing swords.

The sun, moon and stars on his body still gave him a god-like aura.

"The emperor has his own way of dying, so how can he be killed with a sword?"

The rebels froze in place, and Yang Guang chuckled.

"Bring me the poisonous wine!"

Yu Wenhuaji on the side nodded to Linghu Xingda beside him.

Two soldiers stepped forward and pushed Yang Guang to the ground.

Linghu Xingda took off Yang Guang's white silk scarf.

Move forward and slide down.

The scarf was wrapped around, and then he clenched his fists.

Pull it back hard.

Yang Guang's eyes widened involuntarily.

Veins popped out on his neck.

However, his teeth were still clenched tightly.

"Ho...ho...Qian...Qiu...ho!"

Looking out of the hall with wide eyes.

The Sanchen banner is fluttering in the wind.

The sun, moon and stars are all there on the high hanging scroll.

'No one can spy on it for generations to come! '

'Thousands of great achievements began with me! '

……

["The king endured all his efforts to quell Chen's industry, and only spared a few acres of land in Leitang."]

[In 618 AD, facing the raging Sui Empire, Yang Guang had no intention of returning to the north. 】

[He ordered people to build Danyang Palace in Jiangdu and prepared to move the capital to the south. 】

[The Xiaoguo army who followed Shijia were from the north, and most of them were from Guanzhong. They fled back home because they missed their hometown. 】

[On March 10, Yu Wenhua and General Sima Dekan took advantage of the soldiers' desire to return home and incited them to launch a mutiny. 】

[On March 11, 50-year-old Yang Guang was hanged to death. 】

[The once mighty and powerful empire was buried in the dust amid the chaos of war. 】

 What a risk!
  The moment you save the chapter!

  There was a sudden electric shock at home!

  If it were any later, this chapter would be gone!

  What a risk!

  Since I think Yang Guang’s story is a bit long, I’ll end it.
