Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 495 Turkic Shidanai

Shen Wuhua has always lived here in Luoyang City, Xiao's Villa, and her treatment is very good, which fully meets the standards of her county magistrate's wife.

Empress Xiao is from the south of the Yangtze River, and so is Shen Wuhua, so after frequent contacts between the two, they have become very good girlfriends now. Yang Guang hopes to bring Shen Wuhua with him, and Empress Xiao hopes even more.

The relationship between Yang Guang and Shen Wuhua is completely normal, because Shen Wuhua is a talented woman and a devout Buddhist, and she also has a topic with Yang Guang, which is very popular with Yang Guang and his wife.

When she received the letter from her daughter, she sighed softly, asked the maid to add some lamp oil, polished the ink herself, and thought about how to write this letter.

She and Ning Changzhen were young friends, and they had a very close relationship. After the Sui Dynasty invaded Jiankang, Ning Changzhen personally led the army to the north, intending to rescue him, but he met the famous general Han Qinhu and was given to him by others. He was blocked outside Jiankang City, and later Yang Su negotiated with him personally, forcing Ning Changzhen to surrender to Sui.

But there is one condition for his surrender, that is, to leave Shen Wuhua.

When Yang Guang heard about it, he was furious, thinking that you dare to raise conditions with me?So he ordered Yang Su to cut him off, and Yang Su quickly advised: If you kill him, Lingnan will turn against him. For the present plan, he should be appeased.

So Yang Guang held back his anger and asked his father, Emperor Yang Jian, to make Ning Changzhen the Duke of Qinjiang County and the comfort envoy of Lingnan Road.

Since then, Ning Changzhen has talked to the court dignitaries over and over again, especially after Chen Shubao's death, and Yang Guang can't bear it anymore. If everything goes well in the conquest of Goguryeo, Yang Guang's next step will probably be to clean up Lingnan.

That's why Shen Wuhua was always by Yang Guang's side, because Yang Guang was worried that she would be taken away.

In the daughter's letter, she hoped that her mother, Shen Wuhua, could help borrow 100 million shi from Ning Changzhen, which would be returned in three years.

A bucket of rice (about 6 kg) cost 100 coins at the beginning of Kaihuang, and about 50 coins in Kaihuang. During the Renshou period, it was the peak of Kaihuang’s rule, so it fluctuated between 25 and 30 coins. At that time, it was considered The best time for people to live.

But now, after Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, construction projects have been carried out year after year, and the mints in Guanzhong and Yangzhou have been minting coins non-stop because of the opening of the canal, which has caused inflation. Now a bucket of rice is already expensive to 160 yuan.

Especially this year, the price of grain varies from place to place, and the disaster-stricken Shandong has skyrocketed to 200 yuan, a bucket of rice.

Then, based on the calculation that one stone is 2000 yuan, that is to say, the food borrowed from Ning Changzhen this time is equivalent to 200 million yuan, which can repair half of Jinyang Palace.

If you borrow food at the current market price, you have to pay it back at this price in the future, otherwise Ning Chang will really lose all his pants left.

After pondering for two full hours, Shen Wuhua finally wrote the letter, and then handed it to Cui Wei who sent him the letter from the capital.

Cui Wei is Yang Yinjiang's confidant, and when he came to Luoyang this time, he not only sent a letter to Shen Wuhua, but also sent a letter to Yang Yue.

He came out this time with 35 people and [-] horses. The prince had told him that they must be sent to Lingnan as soon as possible without any mistakes.

After receiving the letter, Cui Wei resigned and left the city overnight.

Although Luoyang is under curfew, Cui Wei has the pass token of the East Palace on his body. On the city defense side, he has to open a small door for him to go.

A few days later, the Goguryeo Edict was promulgated, and the emperor issued an order to spread the call to all directions.

On the ninth day of March, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty sailed northward by boat. The Sui Dynasty devoted all its power to the expedition to Goguryeo.

In Zhuo County, as soldiers and horses arrived one after another, there were some small frictions between the various military mansions due to the reasons of the garrisons, but under the restraint of the major generals, these small accidents were also suppressed.

As Su Wei feared, the more people there are, the more problems there will be.

Because of some trivial matters, fights and fights among our own people have been repeatedly banned. The main players look down on the non-main players, those who play the vanguard look down on those who are not the vanguard, and the children of Guanzhong look down on everyone.

In Li Jing's army on the west road, there are Yang Qingzhi, King of Xun, and Yang Xu, the third son of Prince Guan, who help to restrain the military discipline.

After Yu Wenshu and Yu Zhongwen arrived, they had already started discussing with the other chief executives, who would fight Liaodong City.

The main force of the two of them, as well as the east-west roads of Wei Xuan and Li Jing, and Duan Wenzhen who helped Yucheng, cannot be lost. Therefore, Liaodong, a strong city second only to Pyongyang, has to be fought by others.

"Crossing the river is a matter for Mai Tiezhang, but after crossing the river, his part can no longer be moved. Who would like to go?" In the lobby, Yu Wenshu and Yu Zhongwen took the lead, looking around at the generals.

Wei Yunqi stood up directly and said: "I have been in Zhuojun for nearly a year, and I am quite familiar with border affairs, so I will go."

"Very good," Yu Wenshu nodded, "But you can't do it alone. You are alone and alone. Liaodong is a fortified city and it is not suitable to attack it. I should use the absolute superiority to break it. So, who else is willing to go?"

After saying this, Yu Wenshu looked directly at Ashina Danai, you'd better be more sensible, let you come here as cannon fodder, if you don't take the initiative, I will take the initiative.

Ashina Danai knew that he was living under the fence, eating and drinking other people's food, and doing dirty work, so he got up and said:

"I have [-] elites here, who can be the main force for attacking the city."

Not being cannon fodder is not enough. If you are not good, people will not trust you.

After he surrendered to the Sui Dynasty with Chu Luo, he took [-] tribes under his command and was settled in Loufan County, Shanxi Province. He was conferred the rank of second-rank doctor Jin Ziguanglu, originally to guard Yanmen Pass, but this time he was given The enlistment came.

This person was very famous in history. He was given the surname Shi by Li Yuan, the Chinese name Shi Danai, and was named Dou Guogong.

On the other hand, Chu Luo, although he was banned as Hosana Khan, he usually only took 500 people with him and wandered around with Yang Guang.

Ashina Danai's tribe was originally a cavalry army, but now, there are codes and no codes, so he added another sentence:
"Please allocate three thousand horses for wartime needs."

"There are no war horses," Yu Wenshu said with a smile, "You don't need war horses to attack the city. If you need support, Wei Yunqi can help you."

I'm your mother's dog, Ashina Danai cursed in her heart, you're still my mother's horse, you bastard.

When he surrendered to the Sui Dynasty, there were more than 1 Turkic war horses, all of which were taken away by him.

Next, Yu Wenhuaji, Hu Sizheng, Qu Tutong, and Shi Xiang also stood up, willing to be the vanguard army to attack Liaodong.

In this way, the Six Route Chiefs with a total of 15 troops will mainly attack Liaodong City and take Liaodong, so nothing will happen to them.

The battle of Liaodong in history was very unsuccessful. The reason was Comrade Yang Guang's micromanagement. He instructed the generals that if the enemy surrendered, they should not fight and let them surrender.

As a result, Goguryeo's false surrender in Liaodong was used six times, and Da Sui was fooled six times.

You say Yang Guang is smart, how can he make the same mistake six times?
The results of it?As a result, Liaodong was unable to attack for a long time, but Yu Wenshu and Yu Zhongwen had no choice but to bypass Liaodong and continue to fight south, otherwise it would be fatal if they missed the meeting with Lai Huer.

Historically, it was because Liaodong was delayed for so long that Lai Huer had already landed in Pyongyang, but Yu Wenshu did not rush over.

In the Hedong refinery, the refined armor supplied to the army was basically equipped for the vanguard army, but there were no people in Liaodong.

Li Jing felt that something was wrong. Liaodong is very difficult to chew. If you can't chew it for a long time, it will delay the big event, so he said:
"You need elite soldiers to attack a fortified position. The general thought that the elite of King Cai and General Manager Zhang should be the main force to attack Liaodong City."

Jing Yuanheng is going to fight in the vanguard, so the right Beishen mansion is currently under the control of Cai Wang Yang Zhiji, and Zhang Jin is the general of the Zuo Beishen mansion. These two military mansions are the emperor's imperial guards and have the best and most complete weapons Equipped, adding up to 7 people, the main force of the main force.

Li Jing's words offended people very much, Wei Yunqi and the others were immediately upset, you are the elite, and the rest of you are useless?
Yu Wenhuaji immediately sarcastically said: "After the pharmacist has refined weapons, he is a little contemptuous of others. Although Liaodong City is the second strongest city in the bandit state, it is not as good as a county government in the Sui Dynasty. Do you think that I have 15 troops, can't I fight them?"

His words are a bit bragging, Liaodong City is definitely not as good as Jinyang, let alone the capital and Luoyang, but Goguryeo has built fortifications over the years, and has turned Liaodong City into a strong fortress imitating the shape of the Central Plains. There are also Yanshan Mountains, Sixteen mountain cities, including Xiuyan Niangniang City, Anshi City, Zubenchuan, Wunv Mountain, Xiaguchengzi, and Gaojiandi, are extremely difficult to grasp.

These sixteen mountain cities are all stockpiled with heavy troops, which can serve as the outer barrier of Liaodong City.

Li Jing said patiently: "It's not that we can't fight, but how long it will take. The main force of our army must go south in time to join the general manager. Liaodong should not waste too much time, otherwise our army going south will be extremely hasty."

Wei Yunqi raised his eyebrows, but did not speak. In his opinion, what Li Jing said was reasonable. After all, this time, land and water are advancing together. His Majesty has decreed that Yu Wenshu and Lai Huer will meet in Pyongyang in the first ten days of July. , which cannot be changed.

Qu Tutong and Shi Xiang couldn't refute because of the crown prince's face. If the prince hadn't paid them for the winter clothes, they would still be in Guanzhong.

So there is one more unpleasant thing, that is Hu Sizheng, just listen to his yin and yang strange way:
"How about this, Pharmacist let me use your army's weapons, and I'll return them to you after I take Liaodong. This is also for safety. After all, I don't have refined weapons under my command, so it's better for Pharmacist to be rich and powerful."

Li Jing sighed, looked at Mai Tiezhang and Xin Shixiong beside him, and then said to Yuwen:

"After crossing the river, our troops will focus on attacking the four mountain cities south of Liaodong, hoping to open the southward passage as soon as possible. If Liaodong is delayed by then, we can go south along the line between Xiuyan Niangniang City and Anshi City, bypassing Liaodong City."

"Li Jing!" Yu Wenhuaji slapped the table and said angrily, "You really have eyes above the top, what's the matter? The manager of Route 24, you're the only one who knows how to use soldiers? Are we all idiots?"

"Okay," Yu Zhongwen said with a frown: "The army account needs to be discussed. Sit down!"

Yu Wenhuaji glared at Li Jing angrily, and sat down angrily.

Mai Tiezhang sneered and said, "Our journey is to cover the west wing of the main force. We don't care how Liaodong fights. Anyway, if we can fight or not, we have to go south on time. Don't get angry at us. West Road is not It's up to you."

Yu Wenhuaji was taken aback, good guy, I said Li Jing, are you taking the lead?How dare you dare to challenge me with mud legs?

Ever since, Yu Wenhuaji and Mai Tiezhang started arguing directly in the lobby.
