Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 194
During this period of time, all the officials were not allowed to go home. When discussing military affairs, they were in the Daxing Hall, and when they were resting, they returned to their own yamen to guard.

In fact, there were always people in Daxing Hall from morning to night, especially those from the Ministry of War. They needed to deal with the military report in order to obtain more comprehensive information and formulate a combat plan.

On the third day after Qu Tutong came back, a special military report came in.

Han Wang Yang Liang did not rebel. To be precise, he did rebel, but the banner was to kill the traitor Yang Su, and the Qing emperor sided.

As long as this banner is played, it is not considered anti in name.

Otherwise, if they openly rebelled, Yang Liang might not be able to command his subordinates well. After all, the soldiers were all ordinary people, and no one wanted to be charged with rebellion.

In the courtroom, Yang Su couldn't laugh or cry, I have never provoked you, why are you killing me?
Emperor Yang Guang also comforted Yang Su at the court meeting, saying that I know you are a loyal minister, and I will not believe the slander of you by others.

Everyone knew in their hearts that Yang Liang was the opposite, and Qing Jun's slogan was actually trying to make his name sound right.

If the name is not correct, the words will not go well, and if the words are not good, then things will not happen.

At present, the official post leading to Hedong in the Guanzhong area is the busiest, and the postmen responsible for delivering military intelligence intelligence, dial after dial,
The small yellow flag on the postman's back is the royal letterhead, the red flag on the back is the military situation, and the yellow and red flags are inserted at the same time, representing the urgent military situation directly to the emperor.

There was smoke and dust everywhere on the official road, and all passers-by and vehicles had to give way.

The rebels had already camped a hundred miles away from Hedong County. According to the news brought back by the spies, this army was commanded by Jinzhou Inspector Pei Wen'an, and this person had been sealed by Yang Liang to Zhuguo.

Pei Wen'an was born in the Pei family in Hedong. When Pei Ju heard the news, he was basically sure that the ancestral grave in his hometown should be preserved.

Because Pei Wen'an, like Pei Ju, was born in the western family of the Pei family in Hedong, and they are both descendants of Pei Hui's branch during the Three Kingdoms period.

Yang Guangda was furious, and bluntly said that he would punish Pei Wen'an's nine clans.

Pei Ju pinched his fingers and counted, fortunately, he was not in the nine clans, but he also knew that the emperor was only speaking in a fit of anger, and it would be very difficult for the Pei family in Hedong to punish the nine clans, most of them the three Yi clans.

Yang Liang dared to confer honors at will, tantamount to treating himself as the emperor. This was the most unbearable thing for Yang Guang. He was already extremely angry in his heart, but there was no change in expression on his face, and he was calm and calm from beginning to end.

It was just because Pei Wen'an betrayed the water and got angry a little bit.

Near noon, a letter was sent outside and handed to Su Wei. After reading it, Su Wei hurriedly submitted it to Yang Guang.

The letter was sent by a man named Dou Luyu (yu). This man was Bo, the head of the Han Palace, and Yang Liang's eldest brother-in-law.

After Yang Guang finished reading the letter, his expression changed drastically for the first time, and he immediately threw the letter to his servant Gao Ye, who read it aloud in the court hall.

For a while, there was an uproar in the hall.

The contents of the letter basically listed all of Yang Liang's military deployments clearly.

Yang Liang appointed Yu Gongyi as a general, and marched from Taigu (Shanxi Taigu) to Heyang (Meng County, Jiaozuo City, Henan Province).

Feng Qiliang was made a general, and he led the troops from Fukou (Wu'an, Hebei) to Liyang (Jun County, Henan).

General Liu Jian set off from Jingxing (Jingxing County, Hebei) and led his army to attack those areas in Hebei that were unwilling to take refuge in Yang Liang.

Qiao Zhongkui set off from Yanmen (Dai County, Shanxi Province) to support Pei Wen'an.

Pei Wen'an, on the other hand, commanded an army of [-] and advanced to Pujin Pass.

The most appalling thing in the letter is that Yang Liang has received the full support of the Nineteen States of Shandong and some families in the south.

what does this mean?
It means that Yang Guang is not only fighting with Bingzhou, but with the entire Northern Qi that year, which is half of the North.

Old five, old five, I really didn't see it, how dare you play so big?
Gao Jiong also panicked, his eldest son is in Shandong right now, he won't be killed by someone sent by Yang Liang?

Even if he remained calm, Gao Jiong felt guilty because the safety of his eldest son was at stake.

Dou Luyu's letter was very timely, and Su Wei fully guaranteed its authenticity.

Don't look at Dou Luyu's younger sister, who is Yang Liang's official concubine. At this time, she still chooses to kill her relatives righteously.

Perhaps it was the decision he made after judging the situation, thinking that Yang Liang would not be successful.

In fact, most people think that Yang Liang can't do anything.

One is Yang Liang's own problem. When he was born, Yang Jian was already under Bei Zhou's family. When Yang Liang was five years old, he was already a prince.

This child was pampered by Yang Jian and his wife since he was a child, and he has never suffered any crimes. He is young and violent, and the only major thing he has done is to lead the army to attack Goguryeo, which ended in a disastrous defeat.

When fighting Goguryeo, Gao Jiong was the commander-in-chief of the marshal, so Gao Jiong knew Yang Liang best, and he thought this kid was a waste.

Secondly, in the third year of Renshou, Yang Liang had a small fight with Turks, but Yang Liang lost with [-] against [-].

Afterwards, Yang Jian did not blame his son, but sent a group of Yang Liang's staff to Lingnan. Yang Liang wrote a letter to his staff to intercede, saying that these people are still useful to me, and I have to use them to guard the frontier. Please forgive them .

Yang Jian replied and refuted: "You are the king of the king, but you should respect and follow the orders of the court. How can you talk about the past privately and abolish the country's constitution? What a shame, boy, once you have no self or want to act rashly, he will take you like a chicken in a cage Ears, why use your heart!
In this sentence, there is a very important sentence: Peter is like a chicken in a cage.

The "he" here refers to Yang Guang, because Yang Guang was already the prince at that time.

It means that if I'm not here in the future, if you dare to mess around, your second brother will clean you up, it's as easy as catching a chicken in a cage.

It can be seen from this that in Yang Jian's heart, the youngest son is not the opponent of the second brother Yang Guang at all, and he also knows the temperament of the youngest son, and he is afraid that he will mess up, so he issued a warning in advance.

Unfortunately, Yang Liang still didn't listen to his father.

But the secret report sent by Dou Luyu still worried the princes of the Manchu Dynasty.

After all, Yang Liang's rebellion had spread too far, including Shanxi, Hebei, Henan, and Shandong.

In the entire ancient history of China, in the great China, these four provinces can be said to occupy half of the style, and they are also called the four provinces of mountains and rivers by later generations.

Yang Liang raised the power of the four provinces to rebel, and it is impossible for everyone not to panic.

At this time, Yang Su stood up and said, "Young son of the King of Han, you don't know what you can do. Although you take the land of the four provinces and raise the flag of rebellion, I don't think there is anything to be afraid of."

"Why did Aiqing say that?" Yang Guang asked.

Yang Sudao: "Although there are many bandits, they must take Guanzhong. Yang Liang stole Jinyang and sent troops from Bingzhou to attack Pujin Pass. The minister thought that he only needed to cross the Yellow River with the king's army, attack Jinzhou, and then take Jinyang. , and the rest of the land, the chaos will disappear on its own."

"I agree with you," Gao Jiong also stood up and said, "In the current situation, Pujin Pass must be guarded. As long as the pass is not lost, our army can cross the river smoothly and take Jinyang directly with elite troops. According to the ear, if the situation changes, it will definitely mess up its own position, and for the current plan, it should be a decisive battle with Pei Wen'an's main force."

The two rarely agree.

However, as long as the two of them agree, that's the best solution.

What Gao Jiong and Yang Su meant was to leave other places alone and concentrate their forces into Shanxi to directly fight Yang Liang.

In a decisive battle, the outcome is unpredictable. Under normal circumstances, if you have an absolute advantage, you will not want a decisive battle.

But Gao Jiong and Yang Su thought in their hearts that Yang Liang was not good enough, and the commander was incompetent, which would inevitably affect the three armies.

Yang Guang nodded, and he also agreed with this plan, so he glanced around and said:

"Who would you like to be handsome?"

Among the current imperial court, the most suitable ones are Gao Jiong, Yang Su, and He Ruobi.

These three are really able to fight, and they are suitable to be commanders, not generals, but commanders, who can completely lead the army and command the counter-insurgency in all aspects.

But having said that, whether you want to go or whether you are allowed to go is another matter.

Yang Su wanted to go, He Ruobi didn't want to go, Gao Jiong couldn't let him go.

Right now, Yang Su is the one most trusted by the emperor, and Yang Su is willing to go to war because he hopes to obtain meritorious service, Fuyin's own descendants, he himself has no seal.

In fact, if Yang Xuangan had the ability, Yang Su wouldn't bother to go at his age, but isn't his son a stick?
Why doesn't He Ruobi want to go?
Because he has never lost a battle in his life, and he doesn't want to lose his life in his later years. It's similar to being the strongest king, and he doesn't want to fall down because of the first battle.

He is also unsealable.

Gao Jiong understood very well, he was not from Yang Guang, and Yang Guang would not let him lead the three armies.

Since Yang Su is willing to go and Yang Guang also wants him to go, how should we arrange it?

Old Yang's family has a habit, whoever is handsome in a big battle must have a clan.

In a small-scale battle, the investment of troops is small, and it is the same for anyone who goes to it. Once it is a large-scale war, only the clan is the commander-in-chief, so that the emperor can rest assured.

Yang Guang's three sons are in their prime, and they urgently need to establish their prestige.

The eldest, Yang Zhao, is the crown prince, so he is not fit to go to war. The second, Yang Hao, is in Yangzhou, so he can't come, so who else can there be?

Yang Guang gave Yang Yue below him a wink.

The reason why Yang Yue is favored even more than Yang Su is because he understands Yang Guang.

With just one look, he knew what Yang Guang needed him to do.

So he stood up and said: "The minister recommends Yang Ming, the king of Hedong, as the general marshal of the march, and Yang Su, the Duke of Yue, as the commander of the marshal's mansion, to lead the army to suppress the rebellion."

He Ruobi didn't want to go, so he hurriedly stood up and echoed: "My minister seconded the proposal!"

At this time, Gao Jiong raised his eyebrows and came out and said:

"Your Majesty is already the son of heaven, but the son is still the king of the county. I think it is inappropriate, so I should add the title as soon as possible."

What he said is right, the commander in chief always has to give some sweetness in advance, and he has to coax him well before he can work hard for you.

This is called, when you are used, you are kind and kind, and when you are not used, you are cold and cold.

My own son also needs to be coaxed.

Originally, Yang Guang was still hesitating, whether Yang Ming should be named the King of Qin or the King of Qi, that's all right now, hesitation is a fart.

"My God obeys the will of God and follows the will of the people. I enfeoff the King of Hedong, Yang Ming, as the King of Qin. The Zongzheng Temple revises the genealogy and makes a treasured crown belt."

"Confer Qin Wangming as the Grand Marshal of the March, and the governor to counter the rebellion. Yang Su is the Marshal Chief Shi, Shi Wansui, Guo Yan, and Chang Sun Sheng are the March Chiefs. They will set off on a certain day. Hedong Li Jing will be named the Grand General."
