If Gao Yingnian from Xindu County really colluded with Goguryeo, he would have to be careful.
So Yang Ming wrote a letter directly to Yuan Hongsi, the governor of Zhuojun: In the chaos of Xindu, the external emphasis should be given to the internal, and beware of changes in western Liaoning.
He is a garrison in Guanzhong and has no power to order the border generals. He can only write letters.
As long as there is no trouble in Zhuo County, Goguryeo will not be able to invade. This is also determined by geographical factors. It is difficult for the Sui Dynasty to get out of the pass, and it is also difficult for Goguryeo to enter the pass.
Then the rebel Gao Yingnian mainly has to rely on Yu Juluo to deal with it.
Yang Mingqiang supported his body and began to preside over the court meeting. In addition to daily trivial matters, the Hebei Rebellion was undoubtedly the focus at the moment. Lu Yongji and Yu Juluo were both prefects, and they were both defeated. However, the failure of the former was acceptable, but the failure of the latter was unacceptable.
Because Yu Juluo was a truly powerful general. He participated in the Sui Dynasty's battle to destroy Chen, attacked the Turks in the north, and put down Shen Xuanzao and Gao Zhi's rebellion.
Gao Zhihui, a native of Kuaiji, was a rebel leader in the south of the Yangtze River in the tenth year of the founding of the Emperor. He had tens of thousands of mercenaries and more than a thousand ships. He was the largest rebel force in the south of the Yangtze River since the founding of the Sui Dynasty. Together with Wang Wenjin, a native of Wuzhou and Suzhou
Shen Xuanyao from Le'an, Cai Daoren from Le'an, and Wang Guoqing from Quanzhou were collectively known as the Five Thieves of the South of the Yangtze River.
Among the five, two proclaimed themselves emperors and three proclaimed themselves governors.
And Yu Juluo was the commander-in-chief of the march, under the control of Yang Su, and the two who were proclaimed emperors were beaten.
In other words, Yuguluo has experience in countering rebellions. The court officials could not accept the defeat in Xindu County and believed that Yuguluo should not lose.
Yang Ming had just gone to court when the official department received a funeral report. After Cui Hongdu learned that his third brother Cui Hongjun had been captured, he was so worried and angry that he died.
According to the ritual system of the Sui Dynasty, Cui Hongdu was the Duke of Wuxiang County. His funeral was presided over by the Ministry of Rites, and he had to choose a posthumous title.
"Can his eldest son take the title of Duke Cui?" Yang Yan, the head of the ancestral hall of the Ministry of Rites, asked.
This man is Yang Xiong’s fourth son and Yan Xiaotang’s fourth uncle.
Not all nobles in the Sui Dynasty can be conquered. It only requires the emperor's nod. If the emperor doesn't like you, or doesn't want your family to be more prosperous, he will demote you to a lower rank, or simply not allow you to ascend.
.
Yang Ming, the garrison of the capital, was in charge of all matters in Guanzhong, and the raiding of nobles was certainly within his scope of authority.
In other words, nodding or shaking his head now directly determines whether Cui Hongdu's family will prosper or decline in the future.
"The Duke of Wuxiang has a meritorious service, and he is such a legitimate son. How can he not let others take the title?" Yang Ming said.
"I understand, let's do it now," Yang Yan turned around and left.
Outside the gate of the imperial city, Yang Yinjiang was waiting for her husband. She knew that Yang Ming was presiding over the court while he was ill and was worried, so she followed him and planned to go back together.
But now, the couple can't go home yet, so they have to go to Cui Hongdu's house for a formality.
Yang Yinjiang and Cui Heng had a very good relationship, so they sent someone to send a set of mourning clothes to Cui Heng in Jingzhao'an. Although people outside the country no longer needed this thing, it seemed unnecessary, but it actually hid Yang Yin's secret.
Jiang's little thoughts to show her concern for Cui Heng.
Among the five brothers of the Cui family, the eldest died, the second eldest Cui Hongsheng followed him to the outside of the Great Wall, the third eldest was captured, the fourth eldest Cui Hongshou was the prison general of Mingdemen, Du Yan's immediate boss, and the fifth eldest Cui Hongzhou was the Shaoqing of Sinong Temple.
.
Now the fourth and fifth elders are here, as well as the younger members of the family.
After Yang Ming was invited into the inner room, he first asked: "Have you notified King Liang?"
Cui Hongshou said with a sad look on his face: "I've already informed you immediately, but given the current situation, Prince Liang probably won't be able to come."
The King of Liang is Yang Hao, the legitimate son of Yang Jun. Currently in Hanoi County, Cui Hongdu is Yang Hao's uncle.
Yang Ming nodded and said: "There is a war in Hebei. The commanders and generals of the various counties and military mansions are not allowed to leave their jurisdiction at will now. When there is an opportunity in the future, King Liang will come to express his condolences."
Hanoi County and Shangdang County are separated by Changping County, which is close to Hebei Province. As a hussar general, Yang Hao cannot go anywhere under the current situation.
Cui Hongshou sighed and said: "Third brother Hongjun defended the city against the enemy. Although he is in trouble now, his name of loyalty is untainted. I hope your highness will learn from it."
He felt that Cui Hongjun would probably not survive, so he hoped that Yang Ming could understand his loyalty and protect his affairs after his death.
I'm sorry, I don't care. His daughter married Yang Jian, not me. What obligation do I have to care about him?
Yang Ming nodded and said: "I understand."
After perfunctory for a while, Yang Ming left.
He didn't know whether Cui Hongjun would die, but just seeing that Gao Yingnian didn't kill anyone, he knew that Gao Yingnian was not the same person as Zhang Gaozai.
The number of soldiers that Shanxi can urgently mobilize in the short term is only about 10,000. If the war ahead is tight, more troops will have to be recruited, so Yujuluo cannot be defeated again this time.
Luoyang,
Yang Jian was also in a hurry. He wanted to mobilize more troops from the canal, but was stopped by his staff.
Liu Jianzhi, the chief historian, said: "If Zhang Xutuo had not suppressed the rebellion in Qinghe County in time, it would have been an unmanageable situation. No more troops can be mobilized on the canal. Many of the main force of the high-ranking thieves this time were those who escaped from the canal.
There are strong men who have served in the military and are familiar with military affairs. If we continue to mobilize troops, it will cause chaos in Yuguluo."
Li Xuandao, who offered wine as a sacrifice, echoed:
"Indeed, the King of Qin responded in a timely manner this time. With Yu Juluo as the general manager of the march, the army is already recruiting. It will be handed over to Yu Juluo in half a month at most. The military information just delivered is already very clear. Yu Juluo
Luo first retreated from Litao County to Gaoyi, then withdrew his troops from Gaoyi and retreated to Zanhuang County, just to prevent the enemy from seeking a decisive battle. At present, Yu Juluo didn't even have a thousand soldiers, so he couldn't fight and could only wait.
A decisive victory can only be achieved when Qiao Zhongkui's reinforcements arrive."
Yang Jian couldn't hold back his anger and said anxiously: "Who would have thought that he is such a waste? There is Zhangshui in Tangyang County, and he was caught when he was crossing the river. What kind of general did he say he was? Can a general march like this? I
He looks like a stick."
Yu Juluo was also unlucky. His defeat was due to being too impatient and underestimating the enemy. After Xindu County was in danger, he led his troops to support him. Who would have thought that Cui Hongjun would be lost so quickly, and the rebels would capture Xindu County.
After the capital, he actually took the initiative to attack and waited for him in ambush by the Zhangshui River.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Cui Hongjun must have sold me out, otherwise how would the thieves know that I was coming?
And he was really powerful. He was ambushed, but he was still able to gather his troops and fight three times in the Tangyang County area. In the end, he was defeated because his troops were too few, and he had to retreat to Litao.
If he could have been given another thousand soldiers at that time, the battle might have been won.
Liu Jianzhi and the others must have confidence in Yu Juluo. He is indeed a famous general, and his military achievements are not brought by strong winds. There must be a reason for his defeat, but as long as he handles it carefully in the future, nothing will go wrong again.
The meritorious officer He Deren said: "Should we let Yuwen Dalang lead his army to the north?"
"Are you Bang Chui too?" Yang Jian directly rebuked: "Hua Ji is guarding Dongjun to prevent civil unrest from spreading to Henan, not to suppress the rebellion. The few troops he has are no longer enough."
He Deren smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Your Highness wants to know that Qiao Zhongkui is the chief steward and Shi Huaiyi is a member of the army. King Qin may have bad intentions in placing these two people next to Yu Juluo."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked at the same time.
Indeed, if Qiao Zhongkui and Shi Huaiyi are not here to help, but are holding back, then Yu Juluo will never win.
If the rebellion in Xindu cannot be suppressed as soon as possible, His Majesty will definitely be furious. Who will take the blame? Yu Juluo can't escape, but you, the King of Qi, can't get away with it either, because you are responsible for everything.
of.
Yang Jian's face was solemn and he didn't say anything for a long time. He could only feel the hair on his back.
If the third child takes this opportunity to kill himself, he will really be completely defeated.
The troubles in Hebei are coming one after another. How long can the father tolerate him? Pei Ju, the old dog, has also followed him to the outside of the Great Wall. If this bastard deceives the father, he will definitely not be able to bear it this time.
Liu Jianzhi's kind words urged: "For the present plan, it is best to slow down the canal project, so as to avoid rebellions, canals, and civil unrest in other places. We have to take care of one end. I think the most important thing is to appease Hebei."
Yang Xian lowered his head and smiled bitterly. The construction period was six months, which was set by his father. He made it clear that this was the last chance given to him.
Therefore, for Yang Jian, the canal is more important than the civil unrest in Hebei.
The canal must be completed on schedule, and civil unrest must be suppressed as soon as possible. These two major problems made Yang Jian feel breathless.
"Give Huaji to recruit some more troops, and let him go north if we gather four thousand," Yang Jian said.
Li Xuandao said helplessly: "It's easy to recruit people, but Dongjun is six hundred miles away from Xindu. How can we supply food and grass for the army?"
"Let him eat along the way. I have no food for him here." The reason why Yang Jian sent Yu Wenhuaji was to add an extra layer of insurance. If Yu Juluo was really constrained, there was still Yu Wenhuaji who could quell the rebellion.
The officials of Prince Qi's Mansion looked at each other in confusion. Almost all the grain in Hebei Province had been requisitioned, allowing Yu Wenhua and others to eat along the way. Wouldn't that be a disaster to the people? Wouldn't it be to dig out the bottom of someone's last vat?
Liu Jianzhi bitterly advised: "We might as well wait a little longer to see if Qiao Zhongkui and Qiao Zhongkui will be constrained. Now it is just a guess. If they are wholeheartedly suppressing the rebellion, Hua Ji will not need to move."
"Will King Qin be so kind?" He Deren asked.
Liu Jianzhi retorted: "What good will it do to the King of Qin to delay the important matter of suppressing the rebellion at this time? Don't always think about evil things. The King of Qin is treacherous and will not interfere with such matters."
"That's not necessarily true," He Deren sneered: "Liu Changshi is not familiar with King Qin, how do you know he won't do anything?"
"Stop arguing," Yang Jian slapped the table and said, "I have made up my mind. Ling Huaji will go north immediately."
Half a month after recruiting troops in Shanxi, Qiao Zhongkui led an army of six thousand people out of Taiyuan and entered Hengshan County north of Zhao County along Jingxing.
Shi Huaiyi led five thousand troops, marched out from Shangdang, entered Wu'an County, and then headed north.
Yu Juluo has already sent a message to the two of them that the bandit army is in Gaoyi.
At the same time, Yang Wanshi, the governor of Hejian, abandoned his defense in Hejian County and fled to the Changlu County section of the canal, requesting military support.
He Ruomi's rebels attacked the three counties of Leshou, Raoyang and Hejian. After resting and recuperating, they began to march towards the canal in the east and met the main force of the military government head on in Changlu County.
