The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 248 People's calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations (please book full monthly pass)

Be enthroned as emperor!It was not a temporary idea, nor was it done to boost morale, but Yang Tong's deliberate decision.

Don't underestimate this false name. Yang Tong now occupies three and a half states, and he has already met the conditions to become emperor, but because he has not been enthroned, his reputation seems to be unfair. Most of the common people occupy an orthodox position in their hearts, especially the common people under the rule of Yang Tong, whose identification with the royal family is deeply rooted!Although there is no essential difference between the King of Qin and the Emperor of Sui for Yang Tong, there is an essential difference between the common people and civil and military officials. They were all at a loss, civil and military officials and soldiers didn't even know who to fight for, and the people didn't even know who to pledge allegiance to.

Once Yang Tong proclaims himself emperor, not only will he win people's hearts, but civil and military officials and soldiers under his command will also have a goal to fight for.

In Chaoyang Palace, everyone had smiles on their faces.

After everyone was happy, Yang Tong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Our army is today thanks to your concerted efforts. I originally wanted to confer meritorious service, but I'm not in a hurry now. After we take down Guanzhong, What do you think of the great achievements you have made in the past and the accumulation of being a great official?"

To be honest, Yang Tong felt that he was not a qualified boss, and he often failed to reward every meritorious service.

"Your Highness is wise!"

Everyone suddenly responded, smiling.

Yang Tong looked at Yang Gongren, and said sincerely: "Yang Pushe and I got acquainted in times of crisis. If Yang Pushe hadn't been inseparable and silently paid behind me all these years, there would be no Da Sui today, no Da Sui today! You Being loyal, upright, and conscientious, you can be regarded as half of our country in the Sui Dynasty! From now on, the achievements of civil and military officers and soldiers will be counted one by one by you and the ministers, and you must be careful, and you must not treat the brothers badly."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust!" Yang Gongren replied excitedly.

Yang Tong looked at a group of high-spirited generals, and thought: Li Yuan's life will be terrible.

At this moment, a guard hurried over and said loudly, "Prefect Deng Hao of Lushun urgently reports."

The whole hall was suddenly silent.

Yang Tong took a look at the secret letter, and said with an ugly face, "The coalition forces of Goguryeo and Baekje have defeated Silla! Now they are attacking Lushun."

"Your Highness! The mere Goguryeo jumping beam clown dared to offend the side. He really bullied me too much. The general will swear against him, and the general will ask for a fight!" Qin Qiong took a step forward, and a gleam of general coldness flashed in his eyes!
Qin Qiong's words were loud and touching.

"The end will fight!"

The ministers of the court, Chinese and military all made his blood boil with enthusiasm, and they stood up at the same time, and said: "I also swear to be immortal with him!"

Their shouts shook the entire hall.

Seeing that the officials were all in one mind, Yang Tong laughed and said, "Shubao is right! Even a mere clown dares to invade the border! I'm just too impatient to live."

Yang Gongren said sharply: "However, it was a coincidence that Goguryeo sent troops this time, and it actually helped Li Yuan."

Yang Tong nodded and said: "Even so, Goguryeo has been fighting for years, and it is no longer the original Goguryeo! Now the strategically important places are all in the hands of my Tai Sui, and they sent troops this time, purely for death. With national strength, fighting on two fronts is not a problem at all.”

"How does Your Highness plan to fight?"

"I plan to command the land and water army and teach Goguryeo a profound lesson!"

"Your Highness, you can let General Zhang Zhenzhou command the navy to settle in Jian'an City Military Port in Lushun County!" Yang Gongren suggested: "Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan, Niu Jinda, Su Dingfang, Xue Wanjun, and General Xue Xuewanche all have combat experience with Goguryeo. The general fought from land to Yalushui."

"You don't need to be so troublesome!" Yang Tong said to Li Jing and Qin Qiong, "The two generals are stationed in the northern region to prevent the Turks from taking advantage of the situation! You two have transferred [-] Turkic slaves to Lushun, which will be of great use to me."

"Here!" Li Jing and Qin Qiong bowed and said, "The last general will return to his station."

"Thank you!" Yang Tong nodded and said, "All the generals in Guannei Dao will not move. Your task is to attack Guanzhong."

"Here!" The Yongbei generals headed by Li Jing clasped their fists together.

"Luo Shixin, Niu Jinda, Yu Chigong, Xue Wanche, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and they went out with the army. In addition, Cheng Yaojin, Xie Yingdeng, and Huang Junhan, I think they are all pretty good. Let's see what they can do."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Qian Jie, Mai Mengcai, and Lai brothers expressed their thanks excitedly.

The discussion has been decided, and the entire Martial God Palace began to get busy. Although it was a world of ice and snow, after all, it was the same weather last year when they went out for an expedition. The five armies in Yecheng were used to it, and this attack on Goguryeo was different from that of the Turks.There is fertile soil on the grasslands and low hills, so there is no need for too many tactics, but this attack on Goguryeo is different. Goguryeo has a dangerous terrain and many fortified cities. It cannot be attacked all the way like a surprise attack on the Turks.

Of course, for Yang Tong, these things don't need to be done by himself, otherwise what's the use of raising so many people?

In the next few days, Yang Tong spent most of his time with his family, and would take his wife out for outings when he felt like it, but most of the time he was in the palace.Because among the four wives, all except Li Xiuning were pregnant.

Tsinghua Academy already has [-] students, and with the continuous growth of Yang Tong's reputation and Liu Xuan's appeal, a famous person from the Central Plains and Jiangnan came to teach one after another.

For these celebrities, coming to Tsinghua Academy to teach is the second priority, mainly because the influence of the Sui Dynasty has spread throughout the world.The best-selling books all over the world have gradually played a role, and the attitudes of literati towards Yang Tong have become more and more polarized. Naturally, the aristocratic families resisted Yang Tong.But for poor scholars who have nowhere to go to school, the rich collection of high-quality and cheap books in the Sui Dynasty is a fatal attraction.

In this regard, Yang Tong is naturally happy to see the success. The influx of poor scholars also represents the power of various layouts since he entered Hebei. It has developed from budding to flowering. When it comes down, it is when all kinds of foreshadowings really come to fruition.Although it has the effect now, it is still in the stage of accumulating energy. Once the stage of accumulating energy in the style of "overcoming calamity" is completed, the world will change.

"Husband!" Xiao Wu leaned gently on Yang Tong's chest, a deep sadness of parting flashed between her eyebrows. She is not a woman who likes war. Looking at Yang Tong, she murmured: "I am from the Sui Dynasty. There are hundreds of warriors, and anyone can command an army to fight, so why does your husband have to bow to everything?"

The eldest grandson Wugou and Shui Tianji also looked at their husband with tears in their eyes.

"Talk about children!" Yang Tong looked at the absent-minded and reluctant eyes of the three wives. He could feel that after pregnancy, the three wives became very obsessed with him. Fighting is already the norm, but for his wives, the pain of parting is obviously uncomfortable, especially after they are pregnant with children, they hope that their husband will be by their side and watch the birth of the child.

Yang Tong gently stroked Xiao Wu's bulging belly, and said with a smile: "People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves. There are many things that must be done in my hands! For example, Goguryeo has been fighting since the time of Emperor Wen. During the reign of my grandfather, my Great Sui fell into civil strife because of it. The existence of Goguryeo was a shame to my Great Sui! Similarly, the siege of Yanmen launched by the Turks was also a shame to my Great Sui and the royal family. The shame in the Sui Dynasty can only be washed away by me."

Xiao Wu said infatuatedly: "But my husband, how long will you have to go to send troops this time? I really want you to accompany me and watch the birth of our child together."

It is said that after becoming a husband and wife, no matter how strong the relationship is, it will gradually fade away, but this kind of thing seems wrong to Yang Tong, maybe it is a relationship that is often separated. He has been married to Xiao Wu for many years, but when Yang Tong is with her, he can always feel something that he can't feel from other people.

"If it's quick, I can watch our child be born." Yang Tong comforted with a smile.

The terrain of Goguryeo is indeed very complicated. The countless branches of Changbai Mountain and Qianshan Mountains are not as steep as Bashu, but in terms of the complexity of the terrain, Liaodong is probably second only to Bashu. This kind of place puts aside fighting and just marching It will take a lot of time, and it will take half a year if it goes well, but if things go wrong or there are accidents, it may not be certain. It is difficult to have an accurate time for things like war.Fortunately, the most dangerous place has fallen into the hands of the Sui Dynasty, and Goguryeo's strength has been weakened to an extreme.

Xiao Wu didn't ask any more questions, but leaned her body back hard, as if she wanted to integrate her body into her husband's body. Yang Tong could feel the strong reluctance and attachment.

Wei Fengwu, Changsun Wugou, Shui Tianji, and Li Xiuning were smart enough to know that men's world is not suitable for women to intervene, and the world is not fair, Da Sui really did not retreat at all.So I didn't do anything nonsense, I just hope that during the preparation time, I can properly accompany my husband and let him set off with peace of mind.

For the three pregnant women, Wei Fengwu, Changsun Wugou, and Shui Tianji, time is like sand between fingers, they want to hold on tight, but they can't.

In less than ten days, all preparations were in place.In this expedition, in addition to the appointed civil and military personnel, Yang Tong also brought along skilled craftsmen such as Yu Wenwen, the general master, and Li Chun, the servant of the Ministry of Industry. Siege vehicles, down to repairing bridges and paving roads, are all his strengths.And Li Chun is also very remarkable, he can be regarded as the top bridge expert in the contemporary era, and the famous Zhaozhou Bridge is a classic work built by him.

The family members never objected to Yang Tong's decision. On the day of the expedition, Xiao Wu, eldest grandson Wugou, and Shui Tianji, accompanied by their elders, watched Yang Tong and the army disappear, and then returned home in tears. palace.
