The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 523

Qingzhou Qijun, the Sui Army's Changshan Zhongjun camp, the stars are shining, Pei Xingyan, Shen Guang, Jia Wuben, Gao Yaxian and others on the Qingzhou battlefield are all looking at Yang Gongren respectfully.

After Yang Gongren arrived here, he integrated the scattered forces of Pei Xingyan and Shen Guang into one, and the task of defending Li Mi was given to Li Jing who was in Yingchuan.

"Commander, General Huya and General Huben of the Third Army have arrived."

"Commander, General Huya and General Huben of the Qingzhou Army have also arrived."

Shen Guang and Pei Xingyan glanced at each other, and went forward to salute and report that General Huben is the commander-in-chief of a division, commanding five thousand troops, and General Huya is General Huben.

"General Shen, how is Dou Jiande's situation?" Yang Gongren asked Shen Guang.

"Commander, Dou Jiande has returned to Beihai after he quelled Wang Xiaohu's rebellion. His army in Beihai has a total of 8 people. This is the army he has conquered. As long as we defeat this army, Dou Jiande will live forever. Don't turn over, Beihai, Donglai, and Gaomi will be in our army's pocket. Currently, he is stationed at the west foot of Yaoshan Mountain on the east bank of Zishui River, followed by Yidu County. Obviously, Dou Jiande has the idea of ​​fighting to the death. "

Yang Gongren nodded and looked at Pei Xingyan: "General Pei, what about you? How did you arrange it?"

Pei Xingyan said angrily: "Whether it is strategic arrangements, post-war deployments, or weapons and food, all are ready. The soldiers have blood in their hearts, and their ambition to make contributions has long been uncontrollable. It's time to start fighting; we can definitely fight Set up Qingzhou and completely annihilate Dou Jiande."

"Great Sui Wansheng!"

The generals shouted loudly.

"Master, when shall we do it?"

As soon as Pei Xingyan said this, all the generals looked at Yang Gongren.

Yang Gongren rubbed his forehead, and gave everyone a dumbfounded answer: "Wait."

Pei Xingyan said: "We have 13 elite troops and [-] slave soldiers. It's enough to kill them all at once. What else do we need to wait?"

Simplicity, directness, and brutality have always been Yang Tong's style. Under the influence of Yang Tong, the civil and military officials of the Sui Dynasty also liked this domineering way of doing things. After considering various external factors such as weather and terrain, at most they would prevent the enemy from attacking them. For the plan of attacking and robbing the camp with fire, they don't care how many schemes and tricks the enemy has, they just fight in one direction. With such a strong strength, why should they be afraid of this and that?All calculations and calculations are issues for the weak to consider, and have nothing to do with them.

Anyway, it's just one sentence, break all conspiracies and tricks with absolute strength!
You dare to resist, fine!

Then bear the offensive.

The Sui Dynasty could bear the consequences of a large number of slave soldiers, but the princes from all walks of life could not bear this way of fighting. In their army, every soldier was precious, and they were reluctant to let their soldiers fight with a group of idiots. Xi's taking advantage of his life.

"Is the Holy Majesty coming?" Compared to Pei Xingyan, the older Shen Guang was much calmer. He knew that both Yang Tong and Emperor Wu were uneasy and mischievous emperors. Emperor is a very difficult thing.

"The Holy Majesty is not here, don't ask!"

"..."

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

Yidu County in Beihai is where Dou Jiande's new capital is located. Dou Jiande patrols the streets on horseback as usual. Behind him are more than a hundred loyal soldiers who came with him from Hebei.

It was the busiest noon at this time, but there were few pedestrians on the street, and it was difficult to see groups of three or four. This situation was related to the war, but it was more caused by the severe drought three years ago.

At that time, there was a severe drought in the whole country, Dou Jiande was unable to support the people, and he could not bear the heart of the people to starve to death, so he could only watch the people run to Bohai County; he knew that after these people arrived in the Sui Dynasty, some joined the army, but more people were assigned to the fields , When on the life of living and working in peace and contentment.

Although Dou Jiande was unwilling, he knew that he could not support so many people, so he let them go to Sui territory to survive. These people may not have been a bad thing in the past. Dou Jiande was given precious time to breathe a sigh of relief, but the cities that resembled dead cities also made Dou Jiande's ambitions fade day by day, especially the rebellion of his younger brother Liu Heita, which hit him hard.

In the past in Hebei, when the sky was in full swing, many people persuaded Dou Jiande to become emperor instead of just being a king of Xia. Titles such as the king of the county, the prince of the state, etc. condense the hearts of the soldiers under his command.However, under the persuasion of Wang Fubao, Song Zhengben, Kong Deshao and others, he still gave up his idea of ​​being emperor and only called him King Xia; Scondesau took care of it, and he only had to train soldiers. Although he didn't have many troops, he still had to train to become an elite division. Only in this way could he resist the mighty Sui army.But when he was ambitious, a rebellion broke out inside, and he lost a lot of troops to suppress the rebellion until now. What's more terrible is that the Sui army came to kill him at this critical point. They pieced together an army of [-].

The situation ahead is urgent, he plans to walk out of the city gate and stay in the army permanently,
"How is the food distribution going? There is no trouble." Suddenly, Dou Jiande asked Sima Qi Shanxing who was accompanying him on the tour.

Since his fortune, Dou Jiande’s food supply has never been short of a day. After the rebellion, Dou Jiande implemented a food rationing system under his rule, and distributed it every three days. Each person could get three rice and one piece of dried fish. The children are halved (ten to one liter), although they can barely reach half full, but under Dou Jiande's rule, there has never been a disaster of starvation.

Qi Shanxing is Dou Jiande's second civil servant, second only to Kong Deshao. Although he is not capable and knowledgeable, Dou Jiande takes a fancy to Qi Shanxing's integrity, so he entrusts him with food rations. I tried my best, and there was no big trouble.

"His Royal Highness, everything is going well. Although the distribution is small, the soup will not starve to death." Qi Shanxing replied.

"Recently when I was in the army, I heard soldiers complaining that the dried fish rations were small. What's the matter?" Dou Jiande asked again.

Qi Shanxing said with a wry smile: "Now is the season of heavy wind and waves, and our boats are small boats that cannot withstand the big waves, so we can't go to sea now; and when we used to distribute food, we gave priority to selecting big fish, but now only small fish are left. Fish. This matter was reported to His Highness last month."

Dou Jiande thought for a while, it really happened, but he forgot, smiled apologetically, and asked, "How long will the storm last?"

"Beizhi has inquired from experienced fishermen. They said that it won't be too long if there are winds and waves. It is estimated that they will be able to go to sea in less than half a month."

"Half a month?"

"Yes!"

"Hey!" Dou Jiande shook his head and murmured to himself, "It's been a few days since the Sui army attacked the camp. I don't know if I can hold on for half a month."

Qi Shanxing was speechless.Dou Jiande is a good monarch who is benevolent and loves the people, but God does not pretend to be convenient!
"Your Highness!" At this moment, a soldier came galloping

"What's the matter?" Dou Jiande looked back, he knew that this soldier was on duty in the palace today, why did he catch up to him as soon as he came out?Did something happen in the mansion?
The soldier approached and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, a Sui envoy has come and is waiting in the mansion."

"Emissary from the Sui Dynasty?" Dou Jiande was greatly surprised. The Sui army was at its peak, ready for a decisive battle. The battle was about to start, why did you send an envoy?After a little thought, he made a decision: "Go home first!"

Everyone turned their horses' heads and escorted Dou Jiande back to the palace.
