Chapter 63: Three Signs

"The small country of Goryeo was attacked twice by me, and the national strength was exhausted and the people were living in poverty. This time, I sent troops to drive Goryeo down in one go."

Yang Guang looked down at the bottom with a bright look, confident and firm. Obviously, although there were some reasons for his delay in the failure of the two campaigns of Goguryeo, the failure still made the emperor with a very high spirit very unhappy.

In this situation, although Ye Ning knew history, he naturally would not say those bad words, but said in a serious and upright voice: "The commander attacks the far away and holds his king to blame him. I wish Your Majesty a triumphant return as soon as possible and revive the mountains and rivers."

Yang Guang's eyes darkened slightly, but naturally there was no leakage on his face. He stood up and looked directly at Ye Ning and slowly said, "Goguryeo is just a barbaric country, so it is not worth worrying about. The only thing to worry about is Fu Cailin.

This person is known as one of the three great masters in the world and is an undisputed spiritual symbol of Goryeo. I have repeatedly fought in Goguryeo, and this person is secretly making trouble, assassinating the king and assassinating soldiers and officers."

Yang Guang said in a low voice: "If this person is not eliminated, Goguryeo will not be able to calm down. If this person can be killed head-on in the battle between the two armies, the spiritual pillar will fall, and Goryeo will inevitably collapse without fighting."

Qihui and Ye Ning's eyes moved slightly, and Yang Guang's meaning of looking for Lou Guandao has been clearly stated, and this is also one of their goals for coming here.

However, just by relying on this sentence and two empty titles, it is not that simple in the world to let them deal with Fu Cailin, one of the three great masters!

Yang Guang looked at Ye Ning and said with a smile: "Gali Fu Cailin is known as Master Yijian, and is known as the number one swordsman today by the world. Qingxuan Taoist Long Sword Killing the Four Saint Monks is the most outstanding swordsman in our Central Plains today. I wonder if Taoist Master Qingxuan is interested in this Gali "Master Yijian" after a while?"

Ye Ning smiled faintly. Fu Cailin's threat to Yang Guang was far more than what he said. According to history and the records in the original work, the third personal expedition had already reached the capital of Goguryeo, which was the last step away from the destruction of the country and the destruction of the race!

But strangely, after accepting the written mistake of King Goryeo, Yang Guang actually let Goguryeo go...

This kind of thing happened in this world. There is only one explanation for Yang Guang, who has practiced the Emperor Demon Art, that is, Yang Guang's life was directly threatened by Fu Cailin!

Although Ye Ning is a Taoist priest, he is also an outstanding swordsman. For this famous swordsman, he naturally wants to try the sharpness of Yi Jianzhi.

However, Fu Cailin rarely made Goguryeo, and Ye Ning never had the chance to meet and fight with him, so the battle was unlimitedly shelved.

But now, if Ye Ning followed Yang Guang's third conquest of Goguryeo, there would be a battle between him and Fu Cailin, and this battle would be his wish!

He just wanted to do so, and he came because of this, but he agreed directly and said that he would help Yang Guang, but he was too disastrous to him as one of the four great masters in the world.

Moreover, there are many Taoist priests in the Louguan Dao where he was born, so he has to be responsible for their various food, drink, clothing and supplies. If he wants to take action, it is naturally not that simple...

It should be noted that if you have reached the level of the four great Buddhist monks, evil kings, Yinhou, the ordinary army can no longer deal with it, and even if you organize a siege of masters, it will be difficult to succeed.

Experts of this level have the ability to come and go freely in a state of no one. If they want to assassinate a high-ranking person, as long as this person is not a master, it will be difficult to prevent.

Therefore, to a certain extent, master-level masters can already form a delicate balance with the regime.

When Lou Guandao first produced a powerful man of heaven and a young master, he naturally had the qualifications to talk to Yang Guangping and other people, and the capital to negotiate conditions.

You should know that the most important reason why the Song family in Lingnan was able to control one side and was not under the jurisdiction of the Sui Dynasty was not that the powerful warriors of the Song family were brave, but because of the existence of the Tiandao Song Que!

...

Of course, he naturally didn't need to do this kind of bargaining thing himself. Qihui had already predicted and filed such things. At that moment, he took a step forward, first saying that he and his junior brother were willing to obey His Majesty's leadership, and then he talked about his helplessness...

By the way, in this process, the four great saint monks were taken out and whipped the corpse a hundred times...

After all this, after a glorious conversation, the two finally reached a satisfactory cooperation, and Qihui slowly retreated with a calm expression.

Yang Guang stood up from the throne, his eyes were like lightning, and he said with great enthusiasm: "Transfer my will. From now on, all the soldiers in the world will be raised, and millions of armored people will be led by the emperor to defeat Goguryeo in one fell swoop."

When the palace maids, eunuchs and ministers in the Qushui Palace heard this, they knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty is ambitious, like a priest and a prison. I am willing to follow Your Majesty and develop immortal karma forever!"

Listening to the shouting from all directions like a tide, Yang Guang looked at Ye Ning and Qi Hui with satisfaction and said, "I would like to ask Taoist Master Qingxuan and Taoist Master Qi to accompany me and witness my great cause of sanctioning the world."

"Here!" Qi Hui and Ye Ning bowed long and responded at the same time.

……………………

At the turn of spring and summer in the tenth year of Daye, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui dispatched troops from all over the country. The first time he sent troops, he had about hundreds of thousands of elite troops, and the third time he sent troops to Goguryeo.

The news that Yang Guang personally led a 100,000 army to the north from the capital city spread rapidly throughout the world!

Yang Guang's northern expedition to Goryeo generally mobilized an army of nearly one million. It was only because of the failures in the first two times, so it was naturally difficult to mobilize the millions of troops.

Moreover, it was impossible for these soldiers to be all involved in the same battlefield, so the soldiers advanced in a row and headed towards Goryeo.

At this time, the world was in chaos. Although Yang Guang insisted on his own and wanted to conquer Goryeo three times, it was impossible for the Sui court to recruit so many troops and mobilize so much manpower like the first time he personally conquer Goguryeo.

Moreover, most of the soldiers conquered could not arrive on schedule, and the soldiers fled one after another!

However, Yang Guang turned a blind eye to this and realized that as long as he carried the power to defeat Goguryeo, he would be able to easily face turmoil. Therefore, he only ordered Qu Tutong to be the ambassador to challenge the arrest of the pass, responsible for suppressing rebellions in various places, and he still led a large army to conquer Goguryeo.

Ye Ning, Qi Hui, and even Minister Pei Ju and others were in Yang Guang's imperial camp and went to war with the army.

On May 27, Emperor Yang of Sui arrived in Peiping; at the same time, Lai Huer led the navy to sail from Donglai, cross the Bohai Sea, landed at the southern end of the Liaodong Peninsula, attacked Beisha City, defeated the Goryeo defenders, and then went straight to Pyongyang.

Amid the good news of good news, on July 17, Yang Guangzhi proudly entered Huaiyuan Town, Liaodong.

The Sui army is about to achieve a complete victory!

...

From the chariot, the blood and corpse skeletons covered with Huaiyuan Town were almost always seen. After the battles and military life in the past few days, the Sui army can almost be said to have won consecutive battles.

Except for him who had personally taken action to kill several experts who came to assassinate Fu Cailin, he had almost never encountered any danger.

This also made Ye Ning even more aware of Yang Guang’s previous two failures.

When the first and second personal expeditions to Goguryeo, the vanguard and leading troops were not the elite soldiers today, but most of them were soldiers from the Longxi area!

Even the general who led the troops was Yuwen Shu, who was born in the Yuwen clan of Longxi nobles! And at that time, there was no such variety of tactics as he has now, but instead faced the battleground with the lives of Longxi soldiers!

These cognitions are known in Yang Guang's army and among the higher level. Ye Ning just asked a random general and got such a result...

Obviously, Yang Guang knew that such a battle would cause many damage to his side, but he still dared to do such a thing. One of his original intentions was to use such means to show off his might and completely defeat Goguryeo, and the second perhaps was to use Goguryeo to weaken the strength of the Guanlong nobles and stabilize the rule of the Yang family!

The so-called Guanlong nobles were a political group with extremely powerful forces in the hundreds of years before and after the Sui Dynasty. Their power in the early Sui Dynasty was equivalent to the second party of Yuan and Yang at the end of the Han Dynasty.

The so-called Guanlong nobles are the power of powerful landlords in Longxi and Hedong. In the battle between the East and the West Wei, those powerful landlords surrendered to Yu Wen Tai, the ancestor of the Northern Zhou royal family.

In order to unify the forces of the military generals in the six northern towns and the Guanlong nobles, Yuwen Tai formed the Guanlong military aristocratic group with the Eight Pillar Kingdom as the core, the General, the Kaifu as the main members, and the government system as the basis, which is generally called the Guanlong Group.

According to later generations, this is a large group established by armed forces and the combination of Hu and Han.

Later, the royal families of the Northern Zhou, Sui and Tang dynasties were all born in this system!

——The so-called Eight Pillar Kingdom refers to the eight most powerful people at that time, Yuwen Tai, Yuan Xin, Li Hu, Li Bi, Zhao Gui, Yu Jin, Dugu Xin, and Hou Mo Chen Chong.

Among them, Li Hu and Li Bi are Li Yuan's father and grandfather, and Dugu Xin is Yang Guang's grandfather.

Among the four major clans in this world, it can be said that three of them come from this force!

From the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, this force has been secretly guiding the rise and fall of the world, and no matter which emperor comes from it...

It was not until the time of Wu Zetian that with the efforts of her predecessors to boil the frog in warm water, she used her great courage and means to wipe out the aristocratic power in one fell swoop!

Emperor Yang Guang of Sui was naturally from the Guanlong Group, but as a monarch with great courage, he was not willing to be influenced by it, so there was no surprise - no matter what the price he paid, this force would have to perish!

Even the imperial examination system was born at the beginning to fight against the Guanlong Group with the power of poor families in other places!

Of course, this so-called poor family will naturally not be the scholars from ordinary families in later generations, but various gentry forces that are not the Guanlong Group.

In a sense, the establishment of the Sui Dynasty was largely supported by the Guanlong Group, and they basically relied on this force. Even if Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian and Yang Guang were both powerful leaders of the generation, it would be difficult to disintegrate this group.

Since its founding, the Sui Dynasty has experienced more than thirty storms. Although it has experienced the efforts of Yang Jian and Yang Guang, the power of the Guanlong nobles is still quite large - even a new dynasty can be established outside the Sui Dynasty!

With such a force that can subvert the dynasty, no matter which emperor is in power, it will naturally be untolerated.

Therefore, after suddenly discovering the great threat of Goguryeo and then exterminated it, the important idea and purpose that appeared in Yang Guang's mind was to use this battle to consume the vitality of Guanlong Group!

His actions have both been successful and failed in history. The success lies in the fact that his actions have indeed consumed a lot of the power of the Guanlong Group and started to go downhill.

It laid the foundation for the three monarchs of the Tang Dynasty to destroy the Guanlong Group in one fell swoop.

The failure is that his move also caused the Guanlong Group to completely break with it!

When he went to Goguryeo for the second time and was about to succeed, the Guanlong Group guided Yang Yungan to rebel, forcing him to return to help, and the results of the battle were instantly ruined!

The large amount of national strength consumed was wasted!

Therefore, after three conquests against Goguryeo, the Sui Dynasty was no longer able to suppress the world. Even Yang Guang died in Yangzhou, and after his death, he did not even have a decent coffin board...
