Heroes of the World 28, Heroes of the World Chapter 28 Rushing to the aid of Daizhou Xiaoyu, Yang Su's carriage is also speeding towards the palace. He has been preparing for the war for nearly a month. Two hundred thousand troops have been mobilized from Longyou, Guanzhong, and Hanzhong.
They have been gathering in Fengyi County in Tongzhou one after another. Tomorrow Yang Su will rush to Fengyi County to formally lead an army to conquer the King of Han Yang Liang. First published
On the eve of his expedition, Yang Guang ordered someone to summon him to the palace to discuss military affairs. Yang Su had to admire Yang Guang's hard work. He dealt with heavy court affairs during the day, and at night he had to think about pacifying the Han Dynasty. He stayed up all night and took less than two breaks a day.
Time has lasted for nearly a month, which makes Yang Su have to admire Yang Su's abundant energy.
Perhaps it was the drizzle in the night sky that made Yang Su's mood a little more desolate. He leaned on the soft couch of the carriage and silently considered the future of his family.
He was already in his twenties and could no longer protect his family for a few years. Especially some of his age-related illnesses had shown signs of worsening in the past two years, which filled him with worry. He knew that he would not live for a few more years, and he would not be able to protect his family for a few years.
His worries gave him a deep sense of urgency. He must make arrangements for his family's funeral affairs one by one before his death.
Decades of eunuch career and observation of the rise and fall of thousands of years of history have given him a vision and wisdom that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve. He is very clear that his family hides a deep crisis. This crisis is Yang Su himself. Not only
He was the master of great achievements, and he was too involved in the internal fighting in the royal family. He had already killed two of the five sons of Emperor Wen Yang Jian, the former Taiyang Yang Yong and the King of Shu Yang Xiu. Now it is the turn of the third one, King Yang of Han.
Forgive.
Yang Su had a vague feeling that Yang Guang ordered him to be the commander of the conquest of Yang Liang, and there was a hidden intention behind him to make him evil to the end. The birds were gone, the good bows were hidden, the cunning rabbits died, and the lackeys were cooked. Yang Su had already felt it.
His fate is that Han Wang Yang Liang is the last cunning rabbit.
In fact, Yang Su is not worried about himself. He is already old and will not live long in the world. What he is worried about is the descendants of his family. His brothers and nephews are all in high positions. In fact, they all rely on his wings. Once he passes away, he will protect them.
No longer, they will be knocked back to their mediocre prototypes. It can be said that the decline of the Yang family will happen sooner or later.
It doesn't matter if he falls, the key is to have successors. This is the foundation for the Yang family to survive for a hundred years. Fortunately, God has given him a grandson, Yang Yuanqing, which gives Yang Su hope of reviving the family.
Now all Yang Su is thinking about is how to protect Sun Yang Yuanqing. He is more worried about Yang Yuanqing now than proud. Yang Yuanqing is too dazzling. If a tree is as beautiful as the forest, the wind will destroy it. He is too
Young, with a weak foundation, he is easily hurt. He must not let his only hope die.
Yang Su felt that he had to suppress Sun Yang Yuanqing's limelight, cover up his light with layers of sand, hide this pearl deep, and isolate this small tree. When it grows deep-rooted, he will eventually become the Yang family
The backbone of the team, at this moment, the first starter Yang Su made up his mind.
The carriage entered the Zhuque Gate and soon stopped in front of the Chengtian Gate. There were already eunuchs waiting here, leading Yang Su to the imperial study room in Taiye Palace.
In the imperial study room, Yang Guang was sitting in front of the map thinking about counter-rebellion strategies. He had lost a lot of weight after spending more than a month sleeping and eating as an emperor. He originally had many plans to implement, but the sudden rebellion of the King of Han made many of his plans fall apart.
Being stranded made him anxious.
However, everything has pros and cons. The rebellion of the King of Han actually gave him a perfect excuse to move the capital - the old territory of Northern Qi was unstable and the capital was beyond the reach of the capital.
But in any case, putting down the rebellion of the King of Han was his top priority.
As an emperor, Yang Guang will not think about how to fight a war. This is not his business. He needs to consider this war from a higher level. He is considering whether it is necessary to expand this war and use the whole country's troops to defeat Yang Liang.
Wipe out quickly.
Yang Guang was a little undecided and was waiting for Yang Su to come to discuss it.
"Your Majesty, Yang Taipu is here." A eunuch reported at the door.
"Announce him to come in."
Yang Guang sat back on his dragon couch. After a while, Yang Su was led in by the eunuch. Yang Su bowed deeply and said, "Old minister Yang Su, see your majesty!"
"Yang Aiqing will go on an expedition tomorrow morning. I'm really sorry that I called Yang Aiqing here tonight."
"It is a matter of ministerial duty to share His Majesty's worries."
Yang Guang nodded, "I invited Yang Aiqing here because I have an idea and want to hear Aiqing's opinion. I want to mobilize the entire country's troops to quickly extinguish the rebellion in Bingzhou. What does Aiqing think?"
After spending more than a month together day and night, Yang Su had already discovered some differences between the new emperor and the previous emperor. The former emperor was frugal in nature and could save everything he could, while the new emperor was very courageous and generous, and liked to do things generously.
In the ninth year, he led his army to conquer the Turks in the north and achieved a complete victory. In the end, the late emperor only rewarded him with 300 pieces of silk. But this time, before he even set off to defeat the King of Han Dynasty, Yang Guang had already rewarded him five times.
Thousands of pieces of silk.
This kind of lavish spending, to put it nicely, is a generous and courageous act, but if placed in an ordinary person's home, it would be a waste.
It's the same today. A little rebel prince actually wants to mobilize the entire country's army. Doesn't he know how much manpower and material resources it will cost to mobilize the entire country's army? But Yang Guang must know that he was the commander-in-chief when he fought against the Chen Dynasty.
How could I not know? I can only explain that this is Yang Guang's character, and he is a little overjoyed in doing things.
Yang Su sighed secretly and said calmly: "Your Majesty, the strength of the army lies in the finesse rather than in numbers. Yang Liang conspired to rebel and broke the trust of the world. He ruled fifty-two states, but only nineteen states rebelled against him. From this
It can be seen that he is unpopular, and if he is unpopular, he will also lose the morale of the army. There is no need to mobilize the entire country's troops. I am confident that with the 100,000 troops at my disposal, Yang Liang's gang can be wiped out within half a month."
Yang Guang knew that Yang Su never underestimated the enemy when using troops. Since he could say this, there was no problem. He felt at ease and gave up the idea of mobilizing the entire country's army.
At this time, Yang Guang remembered something again and hurriedly smiled and said: "I have just received news from Youzhou. Yuan Qing has arrested Dou Kang, and Li Xiong has integrated the Youzhou army. I have ordered 30,000 Youzhou troops to come out of Jingxing to attack.
Binzhou, contain the rebels, Yuan Qing will live up to my expectations this time, I will give him a good reward."
Yang Su was startled, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Yuan Qing is just a small meritorious service, so there is no need to give a reward. Just send an order to commend him."
Yang Guang felt a little unhappy and said in a long voice: "Yang Aiqing, this is your fault. Last time Yuan Qing killed the head of the Western Turks and made great contributions to our Sui Dynasty. You said that Yuan Qing was young and should not be spoiled. I
I will listen to you. Regardless of this matter, you also know that he saved my life in Renshou Palace, and I did not give him a reward, which made me feel guilty for a long time. That was his saving grace, and this time, he arrested Dou
Resistance, trying to protect Youzhou is no small feat, and you want me not to reward you. If the incident gets out, how do you want me to face the people of the world? Do you want me to break my trust in front of the three armies?"
Yang Guang's tone became very stern when he spoke. Yang Su wiped the sweat from his forehead and explained in panic: "After all, he has insufficient qualifications. It will not be good for him if he is given a high official position. He is the grandson of the minister.
Of course I hope that he can rise to the top in one step, but that would be really arrogant to him. It will make him unable to succeed in the end, just like my other children and grandchildren. I hope that he can have more training, so that he can understand that promotion is not easy, and can work harder to be loyal to His Majesty.
Efficacy, that’s what the late emperor meant back then.”
This sentence made Yang Guang's face light up, and there was some truth in it. It made Yuan Qing understand that it was not easy to get promoted.
"Yang Aiqing, at the age of Yuan Qing, the late Emperor was already awarded the title of General of Disciplined Cavalry, General of Chariot and Cavalry, Third Division of Yitong, and the title of Duke of Chengji County. This is actually not a matter of age, as you said. Let him understand.
It's not easy to get promoted, so don't worry about the Yuanqing reward. I know it well, and I will look at his merits this time."
"Yes, I won't mention it, old minister."
In fact, Yang Su also knew that Yang Yuanqing was a little dissatisfied with the last time he reached his head. If he was not rewarded this time, he would have to jump up. Of course, he had to give him a reward. Yang Su could only hope that the emperor would stop it and not give him a reward.
It was too thick, but Yang Su had no idea how Yang Guang planned to award the reward. The key was to see how much contribution Yang Yuanqi made in this incident.
"If there is nothing else, I will not disturb His Majesty's rest."
Yang Guang nodded, "Ai Qing will go on an expedition tomorrow, and I will wait for the news of Ai Qing's victory."
.........
This is an elite army composed of five thousand light cavalry. Since five days ago, they have been galloping non-stop in the starry night. The dark world is passing by them, and the wind is whistling in their ears.
There was a roar, and above them there was a sky full of rotating stars, and against the sky on the right was the wriggling shadow of the Taihang Mountains.
The mountain road was difficult, so the cavalry slowed down and walked for another hour. When the dawn dawned and Yang Yuanqing saw the first faint golden light, the five thousand cavalry led by him had already arrived at the west exit of Feihu Road, leaving Ling.
Qiu County is still twenty miles away.
Five days ago, Yang Yuanqing received an urgent request for help from Li Jing, the governor of Daizhou. General Qiao Zhongkui of Yang Liang's army led 30,000 troops to attack Daizhou City. However, Li Jing, who guarded Daizhou City, only had 5,000 defenders. The city was dilapidated and the situation was precarious.
.
After discussing with Li Xiong, they decided to divide their forces. Li Xiong would lead the main force to attack Taiyuan from Jingxing, while Yang Yuanqing would lead 5,000 cavalry to Feihuxing to aid Chidaizhou.
Yang Yuanqing stopped his horse, and the rays of sunlight shone on him, as if his whole body was burning in flames. He opened the curtain and looked ahead. One mile ahead was Gaojiazhuang, a small village with only fifty households, but the village
There was a small river flowing through it in the north, and there were open plains on both sides of the river, which was perfect for his army to rest.
Yang Yuanqing immediately ordered: "The army will rest by the river."
The five thousand cavalrymen speeded up. After a while, the team came to the river. There were already leading scouts exploring the surroundings. Red flags were hung at the resting place. The army dismounted one after another and led their horses to the river to drink water. The riverside suddenly became lively.
At this time, the scout who arrived first led two young men from the village forward and said to Yang Yuanqing: "General, these two people have just returned from Yanmen County in Daizhou.
Yanmen County is the city of Daizhou that Yang Yuanqing is going to. Yang Yuanqing was refreshed and asked quickly: "How is the situation over there?"
The two young men bowed, and the older man said to Yang Yuanqing: "Returning to the general, we escaped from Yanmen County yesterday morning. The siege has been going on for five days. It was very tragic. The city wall has collapsed several times. Li Qishi led the soldiers and civilians on one side.
While the city was being built and defended, we also participated in the defense. There were corpses everywhere inside and outside the city, and the city walls were stained red with blood."
"Then how did you escape back?" Yang Yuanqing asked with some displeasure.
The two looked at each other, and the older man added: "It is true that because the granary in the city was burned down and there was a shortage of food, Governor Li had no choice but to take advantage of the enemy's retreat and send a group of people out of the city at night to look for food. We followed.
Out of town."
At this moment, a burst of noise came, and Yang Yuanqing saw a dozen soldiers escorting a man in black forward.
"General, we have captured a rebel scout."
