The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 560
Xiang'an County of Lujiang River is located at the intersection of Liyang and Lujiang Rivers, with Chaohu Lake in the south and the upper reaches of Chushui River in the north. Therefore, it is fancy that it is good for defense.

Li Mi regards Du Fuwei as the biggest obstacle to the unification of the south. In order to buy more time, he repeatedly attacked the city. Xiang'an is not a strong city, but it is well defended. Even if Li Mi attacked for more than half a month, Xiang'an is still like the sea The reef firmly blocked Li Mi's way forward.

This offensive and defensive battle has lasted for more than half a month. The war was extremely heart-wrenching. The bones of Xiang'an City were piled up, and the wilderness was red with blood. However, Xiang'an City has always stood tall.

In the early morning of this day, a ray of sunlight shone through the clouds on the top of Xiang'an City, and the top of the city covered with thin ice shone with a magnificent and bright light. If you only look at the top of the city, you will feel that this is a fairy city with bright ice crystals and sparkles.

But when he looked down, he could see corpses strewn all over the field, the dried blood stained the land into darkness, and the broken ladder fell on the ground, but more soldiers died in battle. This piece of land looks like hell.

The city was very quiet in the early morning. Thousands of soldiers were either crowded with each other, or leaned against the wall, falling asleep holding their weapons in their arms. Their faces could not be seen clearly, and they looked exhausted. Most of them were more than half. Most of the battles in the month were fought in turns, and he hardly slept a night's sleep, and he seemed exhausted.

In the east city, dozens of soldiers huddled together and fell asleep, and the city defender Kan Leng also huddled with the soldiers and fell asleep.

Kan Leng is majestic and majestic, he is from the same town as Du Fuwei, and he is also Du Fuwei's first adoptive son. His weapon is the Modao, and he kills several people every time he makes a move.He is famous for his bravery in the Jianghuai Army, and he is usually in charge of military discipline, but anyone who violates it will be punished regardless of his closeness, so he has a high prestige in the Jianghuai Army.

Ever since his righteous brother Wang Xiongdan left the army, he hasn't had a good rest, and he has lost a lot of weight. He is really tired, and he seizes the rare rest time to recharge his energy.

Du Fuwei led a group of sentries to patrol the city. When he passed by Kan Leng, he picked up the slipped blanket and gently covered Yizi's body.

As a warrior, Kan Leng's perception ability is extremely high, and he dare not sleep to death, he woke up at the slightest noise, rubbed his eyes, and jumped up from the ground.

As soon as he got up, he heard some unusual voices in the wind, and asked in confusion, "Father, what kind of voice is this?"

Suddenly, a gigantic vulture flew over the top of the city. The vulture flapped its wings and flew over the tower. Its brown wings almost brushed the eaves.

"What a magnificent eagle."

"This is an eagle." Du Fuwei corrected Kan Leng's mistake.

"Da da……"

At this time, a loud sound of horseshoes came from the city. Du Fuwei and Kan Leng glanced at each other, and walked quickly to the other side of the city. The two were condescending, and saw a cavalry team running from west to east in the city. , the leading general was Wang Xiongsheng, and while running, he shouted: "The Holy Majesty came to Xiang'an to inspect the battlefield, and the Holy Majesty has an order: the army is at its position, and no soldier or soldier can move rashly..."

The whole Xiang'an County was shaken.
"Father, it's really the second brother, it's just... why did Shengjia come to Xiang'an?" Kan Leng looked at Du Fuwei in surprise.

"I guess I heard that the battle in Xiang'an was tense, so I came to have a look." For Yang Tong's sudden arrival, Du Fuwei was not prepared at all. Disrupt the deployment of the top and bottom, if something goes wrong... No, there must be no accidents!

Du Fuwei immediately ordered all the sergeants in the camp to be transferred and arranged in the towers on all sides to avoid accidents.

Seeing that there was still no movement in the Wei army's camp, he and Kan Leng personally led hundreds of soldiers to wait outside the west gate.

. . . . . . . . .

West of Xiang'an City.

The Sui army was densely packed outside the city for several miles, with shining swords and spears, and the banner with the word "Sui" fluttering in the wind in the morning sun.

This is Yang Tong's army on his southern tour.

He stayed in Jiangxia City for three days, and seeing that everything was on the right track, he prepared to return to Beijing, but after leaving Jiangxia, he did not return along the original route, but led the army from Jiangxia into Qichun and Tongan, and then arrived at Lujiang River. These three counties were originally Du Fuwei's territory, and he wanted to see how Du Fuwei managed these places.What he saw and heard along the way let him know that Du Fuwei governed well, and he heard that Xiang'an was constantly fighting, so he came to have a look.

Du Fuwei didn't make him wait too long, and soon he and a general appeared in front of him. Yang Tong waved his hand, and the cavalry line separated to both sides.

Du Fuwei looked at Yang Tong who was slowly approaching, his eyes became hot, and he saluted to the ground: "The last general Du Fuwei sees the Holy One!"

Wearing black bright armor, Yang Tong sat on the back of the tall Heisha and looked down, "General Du is exempt, hehe, you have managed Qichun, Tong'an, and Lujiang in an orderly manner. Many systems are the same as those of my Sui Dynasty. The same is true for Yiyang and Huainan, which not only shows that you, Du Fuwei, have not forgotten your original intention, but also proves that I have not misunderstood the person, you are very good."

"This is the duty of the last general, and the last general dare not take credit for it!" Du Fuwei was a little excited. Although he tried his best to control his emotions, it was difficult to hide his expression and words, and said: "Actually, the common people can do better." Yes, it's a pity that the war continues, and they will not be able to live a good life in the end."

Yang Tong laughed: "Originally, I wanted to give you ten points! But if you say that, I will give you eight points temporarily, and the other point will be added when you do better. I will always give you one point." Retention, the purpose is to let you always have a goal to strive for, and let more and more people live a happy life because of this point."

"Thank you, Majesty, for your encouragement." Du Fuwei beamed with joy.

"The war is urgent. Let's talk about it when we enter the city. I want to see what Li Mi's army has grown into now." Although Du Fuwei's army is the main force here, Yang Tong is not worried that Du Fuwei will suddenly change his mind. Now that Du Fuwei has lost the qualification to compete in the world, he will not do such a stupid thing, this is one, and second, Yang Tong has confidence in his army.

"Please, Your Majesty!"

Du Fuwei wants to lead the horse for Yang Tong, but Yang Tong politely refuses.

As the front line of the war, Xiang'an has all been relocated to Hefei, and it has become a purely military center. After entering the city, Yang Tong asked the Xiaoguo Army to temporarily replace Du Jun and guard the east city.Then let Du Fuwei concentrate on the large and small generals in the army.

The square in the city was full of mid-level and senior military officers above brigade commander. It was the first time for them to see the famous Sui Emperor. Everyone listened to the emperor's lectures to them solemnly and excitedly.

"From now on, the Chu Army and the Huai Army will no longer exist. You are now the Sui Army, the No.11 Army of the Sui Dynasty. General Du Fuwei is the commander of the No.11 Army, and Kan Leng is the deputy commander. And you It is the backbone military officer of the No.11 Army, the steel backbone supporting the No.11 Army. I am also a warrior and a soldier, and I know the suffering and worries of the soldiers. You will be treated badly. From now on, your salary is the same as that of all the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty. If you follow me, you will gain glory and wealth that you can't even dream of."

Yang Tong seduced these military officers with simple and straightforward language and tangible benefits. Each military officer's eyes were shining brightly, which was the longing for the future.

"After the world is settled, I will reward you according to your merits. What I can assure you is that each of you will become a dignitary in your hometown. Not only will you be richly rewarded, but you will also have a superior status. Luo Shixin, Su Dingfang, Niu Jinda, and Yu Chigong are the great generals and princes here. And your children and grandchildren will also live a happy life because of the hard work of your generation. And these are only based on ability and ability regardless of background. Only meritorious deeds can be given to you."

The beautiful prospect Yang Tong conceived made everyone breathe heavily with excitement, clenched their fists, and their eyes were bloodshot!
Suddenly, in the silence, Yang Tong roared, "Tell me! Do you want to be a great general? Do you want to be the Duke of Sui?"

"miss you!"

After a moment of silence, hundreds of people roared in unison!

Hundreds of voices from the heart roar together!The world seemed to tremble a few times at this moment!

Yang Tong glanced at their faces sharply, and said slowly: "And I only want one thing from you. That is absolute loyalty to Zhen and Da Sui!"

All the people said in unison: "May I die for the Holy One, and Yuan will die for Da Sui!"

Du Fuwei, who was watching from the side, was full of admiration in his eyes!
In life, there is nothing more than fame and wealth in life.Chasing fame and fortune is the goal that most people pursue tirelessly throughout their lives. How many people are really indifferent to fame and fortune?Yang Tong boosted morale like this, I am afraid that even if these military officers were to die, no one would frown!Just because Yang Tong's employment strategy of not asking about his background, but only emphasizing talents and achievements has long been famous all over the world, so the soldiers are willing to trust Yang Tong and the Great Sui Dynasty.

This is what Yang Tong wanted, and he said to the crowd: "To show your loyalty, I will reward you with a year's salary, and the troops of the Ministry of War are already on their way. General Wei Linglang's salary, and so on, will be distributed to all of you at once."

"Long live the Holy Spirit, long live the Great Sui!"

The crowd cheered loudly.

If it was a longing for the future just now, then the present reward is a visible benefit, and the square suddenly boiled.
