Mai Tiezhang is very life-threatening. He only thinks about repaying Yang Guang, rather than accumulating merit and getting promoted.
He had no meritorious service, but Yang Guang still promoted him to an official position. This was absolute favor.
Mai Tiezhang has always felt that his current status does not match his meritorious service, so when he attacked Sanfo Village, he only had one thing in mind: not to embarrass the emperor.
There are thirty-two thousand people in his headquarters.
As for Sanfo Village, there are only 7,000 people. Counting the other five villages, the full number is 15,000, and there is still a huge disadvantage in terms of equipment.
Therefore, Mai Tiezhang's attack on Sanfo Village went very smoothly. It only took one day to capture it. The other five villages surrendered and ran away. Even the Goguryeo reinforcements who came from Yanzhou Mountain City heard that Sanfo Village
After losing the village so quickly, he dropped his ass and left.
Mai Tiezhang originally wanted to kill all the four thousand Goguryeo soldiers who surrendered, but his consolation envoy Gao Yixian disagreed. I am the consolation envoy. You must find something for me to do. Four thousand people were sent to the Central Plains.
, they are also four thousand slaves, they can be sold for some money to make up for the shortfall of the court.
Mai Tiezhang thought the same thing, so he sent only the Goguryeo general He Shili and more than 20 generals to be escorted to the rear and handed over to the emperor for disposal.
And he ordered his subordinates to build the destroyed city wall, which would become a food storage place for the army after taking Liaodong. Meanwhile, Li Jing was surveying the terrain and planned to repair the three villages to make it a true Jiuqu Yellow River Formation.
.
The military report reporting the victory was reported to Yang Guang by horseback all the way along Banghai Road, and after receiving the news, the Tuwanxu Division was ready to leave.
After capturing Sanfo Village, the Sui army will not have any trouble crossing the river. Mai Tiezhang's mission has been completed. Next is Tu Wanxu's 150,000 army to attack Liaodong.
Not to mention the high and solid city wall in Liaodong, there are sixteen mountain cities on the periphery alone. Among them, the Wunu Mountain Mountain City, also known as Heshenggu City, was the first capital of the Goguryeo Dynasty. It was located on Wunu Mountain, but here
, and stationed more than 20,000 troops.
In the military tent, Tu Wanxu summoned his generals to make final arrangements for the battle.
"To the west of Liaodong City, there are six mountain cities. These are the horns and must be destroyed. The Yanzhou Mountain City and Shitaizi Mountain City to the north are a little further away and should be blocked. As for the eight mountain cities to the east of Liaodong, they should be blocked by Wunv Mountain.
It is the most difficult to attack, because Liaodong's rear relies on it, so we have to attack it."
After saying that, Tu Wanxu looked at Wei Yunqi and said: "General Manager Wei, I will order your troops to take the lead in bypassing Liaodong, mainly attack Wunv Mountain, go down to the ancient city, and Gaojian Land, making sure that they cannot support Liaodong."
"The last general takes orders!" Wei Yunqi said.
Tu Wanxu added: "After General Manager Yuwen crossed the river, he led his troops to the north and set up camp in the Yinyang Mountain area to intercept the reinforcements coming south from Yanzhou City and Shitaizi City."
"The last general takes orders!" Yu Wenhua said.
Tu Wanxu continued: "General Manager Shi will focus on attacking Xiuyan City and Anshi City. Ashina Danai, Qu Tutong, and I will focus on the front. His Majesty's decree is that Liaodong City must be attacked before April 20th. At present,
It's already April 11th. You must count the days well and buy time for my main force. Each department will carry half a month's worth of military rations and send out troops early tomorrow morning. If we cannot defeat Liaodong on May 5th, I will take the five of you to take the blame."
"Yes!" The five-way manager said in unison.
.......
Yang Guang, who was still walking on the seaside road, felt very nourished, because this time he came out and still took his treasure to Guanfengxing Hall.
A walking palace.
The ones holding the battle front and back are the ace among aces, the 70,000 troops in the Preparatory Palace on the left and right. These 70,000 people consume more rations, but they don't have to go to the front line.
This is why, in history, many Imperial City Imperial Guards could not defeat the border troops, because you have too little battlefield experience and are pampered like a mascot.
However, the imperial army of the Sui Dynasty was still very powerful. First of all, the founding of the country was too short, and it was not hopelessly decayed.
Furthermore, in order to prevent the Forbidden Army from lacking combat effectiveness, the emperor had a way, and that was the composition of the Forbidden Army. The Forbidden Army selected those who were physically strong, good at riding and shooting, and capable of fighting from all the military mansions.
Therefore, as long as the soldiers who are currently serving as vanguards become famous in the army, they will have a chance to be recruited by the left and right Preparation Offices.
In the Guanfengxing Hall, the emperor and queen were chatting with a group of ministers. The protagonist was Feng An.
As the saying goes, if you take something in advance, you must give it first. Yang Guang was very enthusiastic about Feng An now and drank with him frequently, which flattered Feng An.
As a good friend of Feng An, Pei Ju was naturally accompanying him and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty prefers Mingda, which makes people jealous. In the future, Mingda must manage that place well and live up to His Majesty's trust."
The reason why Feng Ang wanted Liuqiu was simple. He was afraid that Yang Guang would try to get his idea, but if Liuqiu was there, he would have a place to live and cherish his life.
"The prince is far-sighted and far-sighted, but I am just doing my best. When Liuqiu is properly managed, I will ask your Majesty to send important ministers to take up their posts."
He was testing Yang Guang to see if Yang Guang had any thoughts about Liu Qiu.
How could it not be possible? If you look at someone's era name, you can tell what they want to do in this life.
Yang Guang said with a smile: "Since the Qin and Han dynasties, all dynasties have been kind to Lingnan. Your family has always been hereditary. After Liuqiu is captured, Lingnan will be placed under your control. Your descendants will also be controlled by you in the future."
Help me manage this place well."
Tell lies without blinking an eye. When Feng Xuan and Zhou Zhongmou win the first prize, the initial management will definitely be expensive and laborious. Yang Guang will not do it, but when you have managed the place almost, it is not an excuse.
Can I have it back?
You grab food from me, be careful to smash your bowl.
Feng An believed it. After all, he had lived in Lingnan for a long time and did not know that the people in the Central Plains were sinister.
Of course Pei Ju knew that the emperor was deceiving Feng An. Although he was Feng An's friend, he would not remind him and would even betray him if he had the chance.
When should I betray you? When it is good for me, when it is not good for me, then we are good friends.
Shen Wuhua was whispering to Empress Xiao and did not participate in the chat with others.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But Yang Guang said at this time: "What does Mingda think of Ning Changzhen?"
As soon as these words came out, Shen Wuhua frowned and listened quietly to what was going on.
Feng Ang said with a smile: "Far better than me, but he has no interest in the culture of the Central Plains and is unwilling to leave his homeland of Lingnan. Otherwise, your Majesty is really worthy of meeting this person."
"This is complacency," Yang Yue said at the side: "Our Central Plains culture has been passed down for thousands of years. It is broad and profound. If you learn a little, you can use it for a lifetime. Ning Changzhen is a powerful chieftain. He has no such knowledge. It is sad. On the other hand, Mingda and Mingda are different from each other.
Being close to the imperial court and admiring the Central Plains is the right way."
"Ashamed, ashamed," Feng An said with a smile.
Yang Guang smiled and said: "So, Mingda should be far better than Ning Changzhen. This person lives in Lingnan and does not come to the capital to see me. I am deeply unhappy. If Mingda is willing to take over the Xiou tribe, I will fully support you."
Feng An was stunned and said quickly: "The Xiou tribe has been following the Ning family for generations, but I don't have the ability or the thought."
"Your Majesty only loves Mingda in Lingnan," Pei Ju said from the side:
"Only you can make His Majesty rest assured that you do not have this intention, but the same cannot be said for Ning Changzhen. Just seeing that this person has not left Lingnan, you can tell that he has the intention to dominate one party. Mingda is still too honest. Although it is harmless, but
You should be on guard, because your Majesty is able to say these words to you today, which shows that he really values you."
"Your Majesty's heartfelt words, I am flattered," Feng Ang said with a bitter look on his face: "It's just that the situation in Lingnan is complicated, various tribes live together, and several chiefs have strong foundations, but they are also extremely exclusive, and cannot be changed for a long time. The boundaries of the eight counties of Qinzhou,
Only the Ning family can help His Majesty calm the place."
He knew that the emperor was interested in Lingnan, so he had to help Ning Changzhen speak up. Without Ning Changzhen, wouldn't he be the next one?
"Okay, okay, Ming Da, don't worry about it. What I said just now is just my last-minute words, and I won't be accurate." Yang Guang's smile faded, and he said in a deep voice: "My prince sent people to Lingnan to borrow money from Ning Changzhen.
Food, I am deeply ashamed of it."
Feng Ang was stunned and speechless.
After all, Ning Chang really didn't want to provoke the imperial court, but the imperial court wanted to provoke him.
Can the prince and local officials be called borrowing food? The word "borrow" cannot be used. Based on his true understanding of Ning Chang, I am afraid he will not borrow this food.
The maid next to Shen Yuhua was from Empress Xiao, so Yang Guang knew about the letter she wrote to Ning Changzhen. Besides, it was Cui Wei who sent the letter. Yang Yue also knew about it and reported it to Yang.
wide.
So Yang Guang was very angry. On the one hand, he felt that his son was condescending and embarrassing, but his son was trying to find ways to raise food for the court, so he could understand.
On the other hand, he had already guessed that Ning Changzhen would throw the prince's face to the ground.
If you ask a woman to borrow food, will she dare to borrow it?
Why do you think a woman can do this? Ridiculous.
The atmosphere in Guanfengxing Hall was strange for a moment.
Shen Wuhua sighed and took the initiative to say, "It's my fault. I don't blame the prince."
"Of course I blame him!" Yang Guang said gloomily: "All the four regions of the Nine Provinces are our territory of the Sui Dynasty. As a prince, borrowing food from a subordinate is a strange thing in ancient and modern times. He is shameless, and I still want to be shameless."
Pei Ju and Yang Yue had expressionless expressions on their faces. They were both top-notch smart people who had to listen carefully to what was said. They knew that the emperor was making excuses, apparently scolding the prince, but actually scolding Ning Changzhen.
In other words, he has already prepared in advance to accuse Ning Changzhen Luo.
What's the crime? Disrespecting the prince.
Feng Ang was also frightened. He and Ning Chang were really at odds with each other. If the other party fell, his life would be difficult.
So he planned to send a secret message to Ning Changzhen, saying that you have to give me all this food even if you smash the pot and sell iron. If you really want to die, don't get involved with me.
At this time, Yang Yue said with a smile: "The prince has worked hard to share your majesty's worries, which can be said to be the most filial piety. If Ning Changzhen doesn't know how to praise him, there is no need to replace him in Qinzhou."
Feng An was stunned for a moment and carefully looked at the emperor's expression.
Yang Guang curled his lips and said calmly: "I will see if Lingnan takes my son seriously this time."
Feng An's face turned pale and he lowered his head.
Doesn’t this refer to the mulberry tree and the pagoda tree? I am also from Lingnan, right?
