At the beginning of June in the ninth year of the Great Sui Dynasty, the army of the Eastern Expedition successfully reached Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo.The armies of Yu Wenshu and Yang Yichen merged with the navy who came to protect children and successfully formed a siege of Pyongyang.Gao Yuan, the king of Goguryeo, sent someone out of the city to meet Yu Wenshu, expressing his willingness to submit to the emperor of the Sui Dynasty and be willing to be a courtier forever.

Yang Guang learned the lesson of the annihilation of the last expeditionary army, and this time he did not arrange for civilian officials to supervise the army to control Yu Wenshu.When he was about to leave for the expedition, he told Yuwen that this expedition must conquer Pyongyang.If Gao Yuan surrenders, he will not accept it!Therefore, Gao Yuan's request for surrender was rejected by Yu Wenshu.

The second conquest of Liaodong went well, and Goguryeo was beaten helplessly.Because of the experience of the first withdrawal of troops, Yu Wenshu, who had suffered a loss, ordered to attack the Goguryeo cities that passed along the way one by one. Except for a few cities with strong defenses, they basically did not pose a threat to the retreat of the army.When retreating last time, because the marching speed was too fast, too many Goguryeo cities and fortresses were left along the way, so Yu Wenshu was almost blocked and couldn't go back halfway.If it weren't for his second son, Yuwen Shiji, who brought [-] fine horses to support him, he might have hated Liaodong.

As the saying goes, one learns one's wisdom by eating a ditch. Yang Guang did not send civil officials to intervene in the military, and Yu Wenshu also took care of the rear very safely. It seems that nothing can stop the Liao army from destroying Goguryeo.

But just when Yu Wenshu and the army that came to protect the children were overwhelming the siege of Pyongyang, the emperor's closest servant, Wei Wenjie, the captain of Longtingwei, suddenly arrived in the Sui army outside Pyongyang.

Wen Jie is here to convey the decree, a secret decree.

This time Wen Jie didn't bring his Longting Guard with him, only Qing Yuan and Huang Luan were by his side.However, protecting him all the way to preach the decree was two thousand fine armored light cavalry from the Left Army of the Sixth Army of the Son of Heaven.Judging from Wen Jie's pale haggard face and his travel-stained body, Yu Wenshu guessed that something serious happened again.It's just that he didn't expect the matter to be so big.It is big enough to shake the foundation of the Sui Dynasty, and it is so big that it is incredible.

Qing Yuan, who was carrying a big black umbrella with iron bones, and Huang Luan, who was carrying a big iron gun, stood outside Yu Wenshu's big tent. The two were about the same height, and they were both petite girls with beautiful faces. The weapons carried on their backs were too contrasting, so the soldiers passing by frequently looked sideways.But the two of them just stood outside, as if those gazes had nothing to do with them at all.

In the military tent, after listening to Wen Jie read out the secret decree, Yu Wenshu, Yang Yichen, and Lai Huer all had extremely ugly expressions on their faces.

"when did it happen?"

"The third day of June."

Wen Jie took a sip of tea and felt the discomfort in his throat relieved a bit.

"Because the rebels blocked the land and water routes, memorials from various places were blocked and could not be sent to Liaodong. It was not until June 28, when people sent by Youzhou Luoyi came to Liaodong City to meet His Majesty, that we realized that there was such a big deal. On the night of June 28, His Majesty ordered the army to withdraw to the west of Liaodong. I came from Liaodong all the way in the starry night. Although I didn't delay for a while, it is estimated that the army outside Liaodong city had already withdrawn to the west of Liaoshui. "

Wen Jie said: "It is His Majesty's order that Marshal Yuwen doesn't have to go back to report on his duties. After leading the army back, he will go directly to exterminate Yang Xuangan's rebels. His Majesty has already decreed that all armies will be controlled by Marshal Yuwen."

He glanced at Yu Wenshu and said: "Your Majesty has a lot of trust in Marshal Yuwen, and I hope the Marshal will make plans early."

Yu Wenshu nodded and said: "I will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust!"

Wen Jie nodded and said: "Yang Yichen, His Majesty's will, add six counties to recruit envoys, and wipe out the northern Wang Bo, Gao Shida and other rebels."

Yang Yichen bowed and said, "Minister, accept the order!"

"It is His Majesty's will that the general who comes to protect the children can lead the navy back directly to defend the capital."

Lai Hu'er bowed and said, "I obey the order!"

Wen Jie drank the tea in the cup, sighed and said: "The three generals, please return to the army as soon as possible, and I have to rush back to reply to the order. I won't stay here any longer. First, I wish the three generals victory. Build an immortal merit."

Wen Jie got up, although Yu Wenshu and others persuaded him to return with the army, but Wen Jie just refused.Yu Wenshu and the others know that Wen Yidao is His Majesty's most trusted servant, so even a high-ranking general like Yu Wenshu Laihu'er should not neglect him. Seeing that Wen Jie insisted on leaving, Yu Wenshu said: "The army All the way to the south, we seized a lot of treasures, and asked the captain to bring back several cars of rare treasures and present them to His Majesty. The army is about to march in a hurry, and I am afraid that I will lose it."

Yang Yichen glanced at Yu Wenshu and said to himself, you old fox!

He naturally understood what Yu Wenshu meant, saying that he was afraid of losing those gold and silver treasures, so he wanted to give Wen Jie a gift?Hundreds of thousands of troops can't take care of those carts of treasure, but Wen Jie's two thousand Qingqi can take care of them?Yu Wenshu just wanted to buy a favor, and if the treasure was handed over to Wen Jie, how much would the emperor know how much he took?

"Never mind."

Yang Yichen didn't expect Wen Jie to reject Yu Wenshu's overture!

If Wen Jie glanced at Yu Wenshu meaningfully, he said calmly, "Marshal Yuwen has this kind of heart, so it's better to give it directly to His Majesty."

He saluted slightly and said, "Let me take my leave."

The three of them sent Wen Jie all the way out of the camp. Lai Nuer looked at Wen Jie's back and said with a smile: "It's obviously a mule, but he likes to have such two beautiful fillies by his side. Could it be that he himself is not afraid of others?" gossip?"

Yu Wenshu coughed a few times and said, "It's better to go back and rectify your navy. If you let the rebels fight all the way to Dongdu, you and I will be guilty of great crimes!"

Lai Hu'er sighed and said, "I envy General Yang, he doesn't have to go south if he stays in Hebei."

Yang Yichen was noncommittal, just shook his head with a wry smile.

Yang Yichen's real surname is Yuchi, and his father, Wei Chichong, guarded Hengshan as the general Yitong of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. At that time, Yang Jian, Emperor Gaozuwen of the Sui Dynasty, had a very good relationship with him.Because Yu Chichong and Yuchijiong were of the same family, Yuchichong imprisoned himself in a cage in order to show that he would not rebel with Yuchijiong, and sent someone to Yang Jian to plead guilty.

Yang Jian knew that Yu Chichong had no rebellion, so he wrote a letter to comfort him, and transferred him to the court as an official.During Kaihuang's reign, he once fought fiercely with Li Xian's master Daxi Changru and Turkic Wolf Riders in Zhoupan, defeating the Turkic people, but Yu Chichong fought hard and died.Feeling his loyalty, Yang Jian made him a general and governor of Yuzhou.Yuchi Yichen inherited his title and gave him the surname Yang.

After the three of Yu Wenshu made arrangements, they ordered the withdrawal of the troops the next day.

……

……

It has just entered June, and the weather in Liyang is already so hot that it makes people a little irritable.The cicadas hiding in the dense bushes screamed annoyingly endlessly, and the hot weather made people want to plunge into the canal for a refreshing swim.

Liyang warehouse was built on the mountain, it was the national warehouse of the Sui Dynasty, named after Xingluo warehouse, the grain stored in it was no less than one million shi, and until many years after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the grain in the warehouse was not exhausted.

On the third day of June, a lot of people gathered in the residence of Yang Xuangan, Minister of Rites who supervised grain at Liyang Cang.These people are Yang Xuangan's relatives and family members, as well as some old subordinates of his father Chu Gong Yang Su.Yang Xuangan stood in the courtyard in military uniform, glanced at the subordinates in front of him who were about to help him accomplish his great cause, and his heart was filled with turbulent pride and ambition.Because of the excitement, his face was a little sickly red.Perhaps because of the hot weather, the armor on his body has been soaked with sweat.But at this time Yang Xuangan didn't have the heart to worry about these things, what he wanted to worry about was the earth-shaking event.

On this day, Yang Xuangan summoned 8000 people who transported grain, and with the canvas as armor to cover the grain, he announced his expedition.However, he didn't dare to directly use the banner of rebellion, but lied that the general of the navy who was attacking Liaodong was here to protect his children and rebelled, and issued an official document to call the soldiers and horses from nearby counties to come to join them and send troops to "suppress the rebels."

Before that, Li Mi gave him three strategies, the top, the middle and the bottom. The best strategy was to attack the army northward, occupy Youzhou, block the return of Daye Emperor Yang Guang's Liao army, and block millions of people in Liaodong. become.The army attacked Chang'an, captured the emperor's grandson Yang You and others who stayed in Chang'an to threaten Yang Guang, then controlled Tongguan, and then sent troops to conquer. This is the middle strategy.The worst strategy is to attack Luoyang, the eastern capital, but Luoyang is heavily guarded, and the outcome is unpredictable.

Yang Xuan thought about it for a long time, and decided to follow Li Mi's bad plan.Li Mi's persuasive persuasion was fruitless, so he felt somewhat disappointed with Yang Xuangan.

In Li Mi's view, the best strategy is naturally the best way out.As long as the army goes north to occupy Zhuo County, it will be able to block the emperor's expeditionary army of one million from the territory of the Sui Dynasty.

But Yang Xuangan didn't listen, and insisted on attacking Luoyang, the eastern capital.

Because of this incident, Li Mi felt that Yang Xuangan was not the one to make a big deal, so he quietly arranged and prepared the way out.

However, Li Mi didn't know that because of these three strategies, Yang Xuangan also questioned his ability.From Yang Xuangan's point of view, the best strategy that Li Mi advocated the most, actually doesn't work at all!Not to mention that Zhuo County has Luo Yi's five thousand tigers, heavy armor and tens of thousands of powerful soldiers, even if Luo Yi can be defeated and occupy Zhuo County, can it really prevent a million troops from returning to the army?This best strategy is actually just talking on paper!When Youzhou Luoyi is a decoration?Are the millions of soldiers who are conquering Liao a chicken or a dog?

Therefore, Yang Xuangan still decided to conquer Dongdu first, and then take Chang'an.

And his foundation is the Liyang Cang, as long as the Liyang Cang is still in his hands, he doesn't have to worry about the army running out of food!Therefore, Yang Xuangan left Yuan Wuben, whom he trusted very much, to stay in Li Yang.He led the army to the south to fight for hegemony.

It's just that he didn't expect it anyway
