The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 682 Deploying the Battle of the Sui and Tang Dynasties
In the afternoon, Yang Tong was thinking about the upcoming Sui and Tang wars in his tent, but compared with the war, another major reform was imminent, that is, the change of the military system.

Three provinces and six ministries have now evolved into three provinces and ten ministries. In addition to the original six ministries, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Armed Forces, and the Ministry of Commerce have been added. The official system is already very complete, and the responsibilities of each department are clear. The departments cooperate with each other and check each other; All kinds of officials have a clear division of labor and clear duties.It can be said to be quite perfect, and it only needs to be polished slowly in the future.

As the most important military system, the combat-oriented legion system is also very effective. The main problem to be solved now is the promotion of generals.

In addition to their real positions, military officers are also known as titles and military officials.

The rank of knighthood is determined by the level of merit, military officials reflect the seniority of the soldiers, and there are also honorary titles and nine-rank officers
Since the Sui Dynasty was an orthodox dynasty, there was no need for high-ranking officials to win over civil and military officials like Li Yuan and Li Mi. Therefore, when Yang Tong ascended the throne, he did not perform the feat of conferring a hundred or so princes along with the handbook. It is very rare, and high-level scattered officials are rarely canonized, which also makes the titles and scattered officials of the Great Sui Dynasty extremely high in gold content. A fourth-rank Earl is probably more popular than the Duke of the Tang Dynasty.

From Yang Tong's accession to the throne to the present, the generals of the Sui Dynasty have made meritorious service, mainly rewarding property and being promoted in real positions.The titles and military officials have almost stagnated. The imperial court has now eliminated Li Mi, the leader of the most influential rebel army.

The titles of generals with different surnames in Duke Zhijue have come to an end, but Yang Tong can make up for it in terms of Wu San Guan and Wu Xun Guan, and there is no embarrassing situation where there is no seal.

But this time, Yang Tong mainly made a fuss about real jobs, martial arts and martial arts officials.The thirtieth-level military officials are the first-rank general marshal, the first-rank marshal, the second-rank second marshal and young marshal, and the third-rank general Fuguo and Weiguo!Next are the four generals around the fourth rank and fourth rank, the fifth rank and fourth rank generals, the sixth rank and fourth rank generals, the seventh rank and fourth rank generals, the fourth rank generals, the eighth rank and fourth rank generals, and the ninth rank and fourth rank generals. Colonel, Major, Captain, Second Lieutenant.

Promotion is mainly reflected in the bottom and middle-level military officers, which is conducive to boosting morale and enabling middle- and low-level military officers to stand out.

On the other hand, the reform of the county soldiers and reserve service under the management of the Ministry of Military Affairs is carried out. The local county soldiers have different numbers of troops according to the size of the scope and different responsibilities. The upper limit is 2000. General Yang Lang, general Lang, school lieutenant, school lieutenant, brigade commander, captain, and chief; the reserve service was reclassified to the Ministry of War, under the command of the county general guard and county lieutenant lieutenant.

In this way, the Ministry of War manages the war soldiers, the Ministry of Military Affairs manages the county soldiers, and the reserve service is jointly managed by the Ministry of War and the local government. The three types of troops have clear responsibilities and jurisdictions, and finally constitute a relatively complete military system in the Sui Dynasty.

This is also a plan that Yang Tong has considered for a long time. He originally planned to launch it when the world is unified, but with the smooth progress of the war, the time to promote it is ripe. If it is promoted now, all generals will be promoted, which will help stimulate the soldiers. The heart of war.

Just as Yang Tong edited, edited, and edited, Yin Mingyue walked in and saluted: "My lord, Zuo Pushe, Li Shangshu, and all generals, please see me."

"Please." Yang Tong said.

"Here."

Not long after the yin and mingyue went down, many civil and military personnel walked into the big tent quickly, and saluted one after another: "My lord."

"You don't need to be too polite, you all come here hand in hand, what's the matter?" Looking at the group of civil and military men, Yang Tong asked curiously.

"My lord, [-]% of the Sui-Wei war we launched has been completed, and the other [-]% is the few counties such as Dongyang that have not yet been recovered. However, Li Mi is dead, and the Wei army in these counties is no longer good. If they arrive, they can be easily regained. Now the people in the seven counties of Huaibei are stable and the political situation is stable. It is only necessary to leave a small number of troops to wipe out the bandits and maintain local stability. Pharmacist suggested that the main force move to Nanyang to make preparations for the Sui and Tang Dynasties. "

Yang Gongren spoke first. Although he was not the commander in chief of the Sui-Wei War, he was a figure under one man and above ten thousand people, so this mobile court was temporarily represented by Yang Gongren.

"We've stayed here for a few days, and we really should move west." Yang Tong nodded and asked Li Jing, "Pharmacist, do you have a specific deployment plan?"

"Yes." Li Jing bowed respectfully and said, "Please move, my lord."

"Pharmacist, please tell me." Yang Tong got up, walked to the sand table beside him, and silently waited for Li Jing's explanation.

"My lord, my colleagues. Our army is bordered by the puppet Tang Dynasty, and the Yongliang direction is condescending. As long as we focus on defense, the Tang army will not be able to enter the Yongliang area. The Hanshui defense line built by the Tang army is in charge of Youpushe and General Xue Wanjun. Our army is in the active position, so this is not a big problem. What I am worried about is the Nanjun that General Duan is in charge of." Li Jing picked up a wooden pole and pointed it in the direction of Nanjun, and then said: "The Nanjun that General Duan is in charge of is originally with Pei. Shangshu and General Qin are in the position of horns. If the Tang army violates the border, General Qin can send troops from Jiangxia to help the Tang army from Nanjun. But because of changes in the war, General Qin defeated Lin Shihong's main force. His task is He and General Zhang annihilated Lin Shihong in Poyang County. And Pei Shangshu's energy was also to regain Yichun, Linchuan, Luling, and Nankang counties, and they both turned to the east, and there was no time for others."

"Nanjun is surrounded by Jingling, Xiangyang, and Yiling. Although General Duan has [-] troops, after being divided into various places, there are very few available troops in his hands. If the Tang army raids Nanjun, Pei Shangshu and General Qin will not be able to make it in time. He rushed to help, but You Pushe was restrained by Li Xiaogong's Chongling Army and Xiangyang Army, and he was also unable to support Nanjun. This is Li Yuan's only chance to gain the initiative. Once he successfully defeats General Duan, the Tang Army will be able to move across the south of Nanjun The counties in Jingzhou may affect the eastern strategy of Pei Shangshu and General Qin. What I mean is to immediately send elite cavalry to strengthen the defense of the southern county."

"Could it be that Li Yuan still dares to take the initiative to attack?" Luo Shixin looked at Li Jing with some confusion. He didn't quite understand this kind of strategic issue involving an all-out war.

"Li Yuan may not dare, but some people may." Li Jing nodded in the direction of the Tang army camp in Yuan'an County, Liutotan County, and Yidao County in Yiling respectively, and then said: "There are [-] Tang troops in Yiling, and the commander is a puppet general." Li Shimin, the king of Tang and Jin, is a leading fighter, if Li Yuan dare not fight, Li Shimin may not miss his chance."

Yang Tong smiled wryly, "The pharmacist is right, it's my negligence."

"We made all the arrangements in advance, but we never expected that Pei Shangshu and General Qin would have a good chance to defeat Lin Shihong's main force. So this is not due to the negligence of the Holy One, but because the situation has changed too quickly." Li Jing said with a smile: "Moreover, the above is my humble minister's guess, and the possibility is extremely small."

Yang Tong shook his head, "We can't pin our hopes on the enemy. If the Tang army occupies Nanjun and sets off a bloody storm in Jingzhou, we will be in serious trouble."

"That's right." Yang Gongren agreed, "If I were Li Yuan, I would definitely give up Jingxiang cleanly and move the capital to Bashu. Then I would consolidate the troops on the Hanshui defense line and shoot or launch a fierce offensive against the right servant to cover the imperial court's safe entry. Shu; at the same time, send another elite division to attack Nanjun. If, as the pharmacist expected, successfully occupying Nanjun, divide the army into two, one will capture the southern part of Jingzhou, which is empty of troops, and the other will quickly go north to occupy Anlu , Yong'an, block our reinforcements in the Yiyang area, and provide cover for the army going south. Although due to the problem of national strength, they will not be able to occupy these places in the end. But it will bring huge troubles to us in the Sui Dynasty. When our army regroups Recovering it, the opponent's court not only successfully retreated into Bashu, but also gained a lot of respite through this battle."

"Holy Majesty" Yu Chigong looked at Yang Tong and asked, "What about General Duan? Then what should we do now?"

Yang Tong was doomed to the sand table for a long time, pondered for a moment and said, "We are now making three preparations, one is to inform General Duan with Xinying, and let him prepare for the big battle; Attack, and create the illusion of a full-scale attack on Xiangyang; the third is to send troops. The Xinye where You Pushe is located is closer to Nanjun than we go to Nanjun. Two or three days. Although Li Yuan has many troops, he has very few elite troops. The morale of the whole army is weak, and the fighting will is far inferior to that of our army. If he really wants to attack Nanjun, General Duan only needs to hold on for a few days, and [-] reinforcements have already arrived. Nanjun. In addition..."

Yang Tong looked at Li Jing and said, "The pharmacist led the Second Army and the No.11 Army to Nanjun. After arriving in Nanjun, he will fully take over the defense of Nanjun."

"Here." Li Jing quickly responded.

"Du Fuwei, Xue Wanche, Xie Yingdeng, He Panren, Li Zhengbao, the six of you will go out with the army."

"The last general obeys the order." The sixth general complied generously.

When the six people entered the line, Yang Tong said again: "Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan."

"The end will be here." The two will come out.

"The two of you lead the first army and the third army to Xinye, and the generals of the two armies will go out with the army."

After looking at the sky, Yang Tong said again: "It's still early in the day, you should pack lightly and send troops immediately."

"The last will obey."

The generals responded with a bang. Although Li Yuan had an army of hundreds of thousands, these people followed Yang Tong in victory after battle, and they had a blind sense of trust in him. They felt that as long as Yang Tong was around, the Sui Dynasty would not fail. The battle won!

"Yu Chigong and Su Dingfang, you two are the rear army, commanding the infantry, escorting the baggage to Xinye, Cheng Yaojin and Xin Liaoer accompanying the army. Inform the whole army that we will prepare meals at the third watch tomorrow and go out at the fifth watch. There must be no mistakes!"

"Here."

After everyone left, Yang Gongren cupped his hands and said: "My lord, the seven counties of Huaibei have just been recovered. There are still many bandits and bandits in the territory, as well as the deserters of the Wei army who fled into the mountains. If we don't wipe out one by one, it will definitely bring disaster to the place. Now Pei Shangshu is far in the south, and a general is needed to take charge of this matter. In addition, the seven counties in Huaibei are not only mixed with three religions and nine streams, but also have various forces, large and small. It’s a small sight, and the seven counties in Huaibei are the territory that Li Mi has been operating for many years, and the weapons hidden by the people are enough to arm an army of tens of thousands of people, and an official who knows both military and government is needed to sit in charge.”

Yang Tong said: "Zuo Pushe, tell me your suggestion."

Yang Gongren said: "The meaning of Weichen is to establish Huaibei Xingtai Shangshu Province, and the seven counties here will be controlled by Xingtai Shangshu Province. After the seven counties recover calm, Huaibei Xingtai will be disbanded. Cen Shijun knows all about military affairs and can do whatever he wants. Tai Shang Shuling; Bing County Governor is good at governing the region, he can also be in charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Taiwan, and General Yao is in charge of the army, what do you think?"

For Yang Gongren's proposal, Yang Tong naturally wholeheartedly agreed.He knew that Cen Wenwen and Bing Yuanzhen were extremely talented people.

In particular, Cen Wenwen is a famous figure in history. In addition to his outstanding literary talents, his love for the people and noble character are his highlights. Although Cen Wenwen in history was a high-ranking official, he still lived a simple life. His mother is very filial, and she never treats those bad old friends badly, and she is very considerate in every courtesy.

Now that Bing Yuanzhen has been appointed, it would be unreasonable not to release Cen Wenwen to the outside world.It's just that Cen Wenwen was famous and famous in the south, and Yang Tong was influenced by "The Long Song of Zhenguan", thinking that Cen Wenwen was a master of power and tactics similar to Changsun Wuji, and worried that he would form gangsters when he was in office in the south. Pai, that's why he hasn't been released for a long time.

Yang Gongren knew that the Xiao clan had great influence in the south. If the concubine Xiao Yuexian gave birth to a princess, it would be fine. If she gave birth to a prince, the people in the south would most likely push the prince to attack the crown prince for their own benefit. The text is the grandson of Cen Shanfang, Shangshu of the Xiliang Ministry of Officials, and the son of Cen Zhixiang, the minister of the Sui Dynasty Yubu. He is not only closely related to the Xiao family, but also one of the leaders of the southern scholars. Elected as the leader of the southern faction.Therefore, although Yang Gongren never discussed with Yang Tong, he also thought that Cen Wenwen was not suitable for serving in the south.

It is indeed a good choice to arrange Cen Wenwen to the Seven Counties of Huaibei, which has nothing to do with him, so that he can give full play to the talent of the opponent without giving him the opportunity to form gangs.What's more wonderful is that Jun Yao, a pure military general, belongs to the military and is loyal to the court. Bing Yuan, who is in charge of civil affairs, is really one of the leaders of Wagang Village. Others form gangs?

"This is a wonderful way!" Yang Tong said, "Today the Huaibei Xingtai Shangshu Province is formally established to control the seven counties of Liangjun, Huaiyang, Qiaojun, Ruyin, Pengcheng, Xiapi, and Donghai. In Pengcheng County, Pengcheng County, Cen Wenwen served as Shangshu of Xingtai, Yao Junsu served as Minister of Xingtai Military Department and Military Department, and Bing Yuanzhen, governor of Huaiyang County, concurrently served as Minister of Xingtai Ministry of Civil Affairs."

"My minister obeys." Cen Wenwen, Yao Junsu, and Bing Yuanzhen bowed to the order.

In fact, Yang Tong was poisoned by the so-called historical drama and did not understand the real text of Cen.In fact, Cen Wenwen is a person who knows how to advance and retreat, understands the current situation, and abides by the principles of people and ministers. Apart from his excellent political skills, the most famous thing is that he never flatters the powerful. Like Wei Zheng, he is a person who dares to speak out .Although he was a high-ranking official in the Li Dynasty and was deeply favored and trusted by Li Shimin, he was deeply acquainted with the way of being wise and protecting his life. He felt that he had achieved the position of prime minister with only a little pen and ink, so he asked to resign several times.

In fact, Cen Wenwen's biggest dream is to be a parent official and benefit the people. This was his ambition when he was studying.However, when he went to Xiao Mian, he stayed by Xiao Mian's side every day, dancing and writing, reciting poems and composing Fu, which was incompatible with his strengths and ideals.

After surrendering to the Sui Dynasty, the original intention remained unchanged. He knew that the seven counties of Huaibei were facing unprecedented challenges due to the decline of commerce and the sharp drop in population.Yang Tong's appointment of him as the Minister of Huaibei Xingtai is exactly in line with his ideal.So he felt very excited, and planned to manage this piece of land that was devastated by the troubled times into a land of prosperity in the Sui Dynasty.
