One hundred and thirty second chapter ransacked home
The content of Yang Guanglai's imperial edict was very simple, which was to tell Yuwen Chenglong that Yang Liang and other prisoners had been sent to the capital, so Yuwen Chenglong could ignore Yang Su and Yuwen Shu and finish handing over to the sergeant who came to take over the prisoners of war.
The class teacher returned to Beijing directly!
Only at this moment did the generals know that it was not only Yuwen Chenglong's troops who came out to conquer Yang Liang, but also two other armies led by Yang Su and Yuwen Shu.
After being questioned by the generals, Yuwen Chenglong just revealed the reason.
It turned out that long before the expedition, Yuwen Chenglong had proposed suggestions to Yang Guang. Yuwen Chenglong commanded the left guard army to pretend to be the main force and show the enemy's weakness, and held back the main force of Yang Liang's army at Pujin Pass. Yang Su, in turn,
Yu Wenshu and his two men each led an army, and attacked Gaobi and Jingxing respectively, cutting off Yang Liang's army's retreat route to Bingzhou and Jizhou. When Yang Liang's food and grass were exhausted, they encircled on three sides and destroyed the main force of Yang Liang's army. Then, again
Take advantage of the victory to conquer the fifty-two states ruled by Yang Liang!
This plan was originally quite good, and Yang Su and Yu Wenshu basically agreed after reading it.
It was just that the two had slightly different opinions on the issue of Yuwen Chenglong leading the Zuo Wei Army.
After all, Yuwen Chenglong is a rookie who has never led an army! The Zuo Wei Army is a group of young soldiers! Such a group of people are going into battle, but they are still stationed at Pujin Pass, the throat of the world, which is really uneasy!
In this regard, Yuwen Chenglong's explanation is that even if we don't have the ability, can't we just have a few capable subordinates? Moreover, when stationed at Pujin Pass, we only need to hold the pass! There is no big problem!
More importantly, as His Majesty's personal army, the Left Guards cannot always be held by a group of young men. They must go through battlefield training and train these troops into elite soldiers!
It was precisely this last reason that completely convinced Yang Guang, so there was such a big drama like Yuwen Chenglong's expedition!
After understanding the whole story, the public's admiration for Yuwen Chenglong instantly soared to a whole new level again, as if they were looking up to a mountain!
To say that those previous tactical victories can be said to be a little clever, but with such a foresight and a reputation for taking one step at a time, he can definitely be called a master of strategy!
Even Zhang Xutuo and Qu Tutong, two battlefield veterans, were completely convinced!
No wonder people can become generals at a young age, but we have been just cavalry generals for half our lives! This is the difference in strength! It seems that after returning home, we need to read more military books!
Only two days after Qu Tutong arrived, all the sergeants who came to accept the prisoners of war had also arrived.
After the handover of the prisoners was completed, Yuwen Chenglong led the victorious army and marched toward Daxing, the capital.
With an army of 50,000, Yang Liang's 300,000 rebels were wiped out and the rebellion was put down in one fell swoop. It was indispensable for a group of generals to go out and get promoted to high positions!
Mai Tiezhang, the chariot and cavalry general of Youtunwei who was originally the fifth rank, was promoted to the fifth rank. He was promoted to General Youtunwei from the third rank in one fell swoop, and was promoted to Lord Zhuguo of the second rank.
It turns out that Qu Tutong, the former Youwuhou Cavalry General who was also a fifth-rank official, was promoted to the fifth rank, and was promoted to the third-rank Youwuhou General, plus Kaifu Yitong Sansi.
Zhang Xutuo, who was originally the fifth-rank Yitong Sansi, was officially transferred to Yuwen Chenglong's staff, and became a Zuowei general from the third rank, plus the Kaifu Yitong Sansi.
Li Jing, the former commander-in-chief of the palace, was also transferred to the Zuowei Army, appointed as Zuowei General, and added to the Kaifu Yitong Third Division.
Others Gao Jian, Dugu Lingyun, Dugu Pingyun, Shen Guang, Yuwen Chengxiang, etc. were also transferred to the Left Guard Army, and each received a promotion and was awarded the title of Lord according to their military merits.
The silly boy Yuwen Chengdu was promoted a step further, from the third-rank right-guard general to the right-guard general, plus the third division of Kaifu Yitong.
The original right-guard general Yuan Zhou was left idle by Yang Guang on some random excuse...
As for the commander-in-chief Yuwen Chenglong who led the army this time, since he was originally a powerful official of the third rank, he has no chance of promotion for the time being, so he can only think of ways to improve his title.
After much deliberation, Yang Guang finally granted Yuwen Chenglong the title of Marquis of Wu, with a city of 1,000 households, 800 households in Yuhang County, and a second-level Zhu Kingdom.
By the way, during the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Zhuguo was the real power figure, higher than the prime minister Taiwei. Six of the eight Zhuguo in the Western Wei were in charge of the country's army.
By the time of the Sui Dynasty, the number of Zhuguo began to increase, and they gradually turned into nominal lords. It just sounds nice and means that you have made such a great contribution and can enjoy this level of treatment! In fact, it sounds good. Apart from a little salary increase and a gorgeous ceremony, there is no real benefit.
In the Sui Dynasty, the truly affordable titles were the nine-level titles designated by Emperor Wen of the People's Republic of China: King, Prince, Duke, Duke, County Duke, Marquis, Count, Son, and Male. Because these titles had fiefs and could be collected within the fiefs. Tax! Moreover, these titles are truly hereditary titles.
For example, Li Yuan, a poor boy, had the opportunity to make a fortune because he inherited the title of Duke of Tang Dynasty from his father Li Bing.
After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he felt that there were too many levels of titles, so he only retained three levels: king, duke and marquis.
Therefore, although it seems that Yuwen Chenglong was given the title of Marquis generously, in fact, Marquis Wu is only the lowest title. The only good thing is that the number of households in the town is as high as a thousand, and Zhenshi has reached a terrifying eight Hundreds of households.
To make a comparison here, for example, Yang Su, the Duke of Yue, had a title three levels higher than that of Yuwen Chenglong. He had 3,000 households in the city and 1,000 households in the county of Zhenshi Changshou.
This means that Yang Su can get the tax salary of 3,000 households, but the real food estates that can collect land rent are only 1,000 households in Changshou County!
Although Yuwen Chenglong was not promoted, his meritorious service was about to reach its peak, and he also earned a relatively affordable title. After hearing the news, Princess Leping said that it was just okay, so-so, and she was still satisfied!
Hearing this, Yang Guang was so depressed that he almost vomited blood, but he had nothing to do with his eldest sister!
What made Yang Guang even more depressed was that on the second day after Yuwen Chenglong returned to Beijing, Princess Leping took a hundred guards and began to visit the courtiers one by one. Princess Leping was going to settle a small score with everyone!
The first unlucky person was naturally the right servant of the most senior official among the courtiers who shot old Su Wei!
Old man Su Wei is still capable. I think back then, he was one of the two most famous servants like Gao Jiong! Unfortunately, his character is not that good! This time, he is causing trouble for Yuwen Chenglong behind his back. It is because of this old man Su Wei headed by!
"Go! Break down the door!"
Wearing a helmet and armor, a full set of Jiehua guard attire, a maroon rouge horse under her crotch, an iron rod in hand, and a scimitar on her waist, Princess Leping looked majestic and domineering at this moment.
Hearing Princess Leping's orders, the hundred or so guards behind them did not hesitate. Each one of them, like wolves and tigers, mounted their horses and brandished their sticks, and rushed towards the gate of Youpu She Mansion!
"Who are you? What are you doing? Do you know where this is? This is Youpu She Mansion, and you cannot tolerate chaos..."
When the guards guarding the door saw this, they quickly stopped him with swords and shouted condescendingly.
You can't blame the guard for not having good eyesight. As the saying goes, the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door! On weekdays, whoever comes to Youpushe Mansion is not groveling!
Moreover, Princess Leping usually lives in seclusion and no one knows her!
What's more, at this moment, Princess Leping is wearing a military uniform and a face shield. Even if Yang Guang is here, she may not be able to recognize her!
Being scolded by a little guard, Princess Leping became even more angry, "Smash it, hit me hard! The fate of the person will be mine!"
"Okay!" Following a crisp response, a guard from the Jinghua Camp stepped forward, raised his hand, and grabbed a stone lion in front of Youpushe Mansion, shaking his hands and pointing towards it.
A few feet away, the door of Youpu She Mansion was smashed down.
