As an emperor, Yang Guang's psychological quality was far superior to that of others. In terms of his determination, it seemed that no one in the entire Sui Dynasty could compare with him.
The Khitans in the north invaded and invaded the state, burning, killing and looting all the way, killing tens of thousands of people and displacing more than 100,000 people.
But Emperor Yang Guang did not take this seriously. Instead of returning to Beijing to take charge of the overall situation, Yang Guang led a large group of people and walked leisurely towards Jiangdu City.
Moreover, Yang Guang had a lot of fun in Jiangdu. From the beginning of August to Jiangdu, after the August Festival and the Ninth Festival, he played for three or four months. It was about to celebrate the New Year, and Yang Guang did not return to the capital, Luoyang.
mean.
If Yang Guang does not return to Luoyang, the team led by Yuwen Xiaoma Gan'er will have no choice but to rush to Jiangdu to join Yang Guang.
However, before that, Yuwen Xiaomagan'er had to report the results of the battle to the nominal commander-in-chief of Prince Yang Zhao, and then Yang Zhao reported the good news to His Majesty Yang Guang and asked for credit.
For this reason, as early as after the preliminary statistics of the battle results were completed, Yuwen Xiaomagan'er ordered the first Scud of the Sui Dynasty, General Mai Tiezhang and Mai Zhuguo, the right guard general, to rush to Chang'an City with the head of Chief Duluo to kill Yang Zhaoxiao.
The fat man went to announce the good news. Yuwen Xiaomagan'er himself led a large group of people and marched slowly towards Chang'an in a decent manner.
With more than 70,000 prisoners and hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses, it is impossible to go fast! What's more, there are still hundreds of thousands of cars of cattle, sheep and horse meat to be processed. Therefore, since returning to Yingzhou,
After that, the speed of Yu Wen Xiao Ma Gan'er's journey became extremely slow, only covering ten miles a day!
So, when Little Fatty Yang Zhao sent a messenger to tell Yuwen Xiao Ma Gan'er that he did not need to rush to Chang'an but set off directly to Jiangdu, Yuwen Xiao Ma Gan'er turned around neatly and headed south towards Jiangdu.
At this time, Yuwen Xiaomagan'er's troops had just left Yingzhou, which was only a hundred miles away.
More than ten days later, Yuwen, Xiaoma Gan'er and his party finally left Youzhou and entered the territory of Jizhou.
Compared with Youzhou, which is cold and sparsely populated, Jizhou has fertile land, dense population, and relatively wealthy people since ancient times. Therefore, Yuwen Xiaomagan'er can process the horse, beef, and mutton much faster.
By the time they left Jizhou, Yu Wen, Xiao Magan'er and others had already processed nearly half of the frozen meat.
"No! This speed is still a bit slow! Once we pass Qingzhou, the weather will gradually get warmer, and this Dong meat will not be kept fresh!"
After thinking for a long time, Yuwen Xiaomagan'er finally ordered people to separate nearly 50,000 carts of frozen meat and take them all to Luoyang. Along with them, the cattle, sheep and horses were also intercepted by Yuwen Xiaomagan'er.
Less than half.
After so much of the burden was relieved, Yuwen Xiaoma'er's speed finally gradually increased, and he could occasionally travel nearly twenty miles a day!
After another ten days of hard work in Qingzhou, the remaining frozen meat was finally processed. So, Yuwen Xiaomagan'er began to not care about the life and death of those prisoners of war, and urged everyone to move forward every day, at least to
March sixty miles!
Even so, when Yuwen Xiaoma Gan'er arrived at Jiangdu City, it was already approaching the end of the new year!
Less than a hundred miles away from Jiangdu City, they met up with the commander-in-chief, Prince Yang Zhao, who had been waiting for this expedition for a long time. Yuwen Xiaomaganer secretly discussed with His Highness Yang Zhao in private for half a day.
Then they set up camp and marched toward Jiangdu City.
Before that, there was another episode, that is, Yuwen Xiao Ma Gan'er was very vicious and used the money from selling beef and mutton to hire a group of pig cutters to perform a free sterilization operation on all male Khitan captives.
Although the skills of these pig-pickers are not very good, and they often accidentally kill one or two people, in general, most of the operations are relatively successful. Basically, they can cut off all the right and wrong with just one knife, and there is no worry!…
.
Miraculously, after many Khitan prisoners had their roots of right and wrong cut off, not only did they not suffer any illness, but they actually became fat and white under the abuse of the Sui soldiers!
Returning to the main story, it is said that after joining up with Little Fatty Yang Zhao, Little Magan'er Yuwen urged the army to march all the way, covering more than eighty miles in one day, and finally arrived outside Jiangdu City in the evening of the next day.
In Jiangdu City, Yang Guang had long received the battle report from his eldest son Yang Zhao, which was really Long Yan's joy.
You know, this is the first time the Sui Dynasty has used troops abroad since Yang Guang ascended the throne!
The time when Yang Liang rebelled does not count, because it was a conflict among the people in the Sui Dynasty. No matter how well we fought, we would only be called a rat who rebelled against someone else!
This time was different. It was the first large-scale use of troops by the Sui Dynasty against the barbarians outside the Great Wall!
Compared with the Sui Dynasty, although the population of the Khitan tribe is not particularly large, it can be regarded as a larger tribe among the various ethnic groups outside the Great Wall! Moreover, the Khitan people are fierce and fierce. Over the years, they have been sandwiched between Goguryeo and Dongtu.
, was able to miraculously survive and continue to grow and develop. Of course, this was due to the factors of the Sui Dynasty being the boss, but the development potential and development speed of Khitan itself should not be underestimated!
If the Khitans continue to develop at the same rate as they have in the past twenty years, in a few decades they will definitely become a serious problem for the Sui Dynasty. They may even be able to replace the Eastern and Western Turks and become another overlord on the grasslands. It is not impossible!
Such a tribe that can be called the star of the grassland has now been defeated by the iron hoof of our Great Sui Dynasty, especially in the first year of my official accession to the throne. Doesn't this mean that the comprehensive national strength of our Great Sui Dynasty
, has reached its highest point ever?
Well, at least since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, we should be the most powerful in the Sui Dynasty!
Moreover, I, the newly enthroned emperor, should be more talented and strategic than our old man Yang Jian!
This is an absolute must!
Also, this little Ma Gan'er of the Yuwen family is definitely a loyal minister and a blessed general! With this little Ma Gan'er here, I, the Sui Dynasty, will dominate all the barbarians, be impregnable, and rule the world for thousands of years...
…
But, how to reward this little fool of the Yuwen family? This is a problem!
If the reward is less, I'm afraid it won't be easy for the eldest sister to explain!
But if there are more rewards, this little Ma Gan'er will now be a senior member of the third rank! If he goes up further, it will be difficult to be promoted? After all, this little Ma Gan'er's qualifications are still too junior!
Well, yes, since I can’t increase my official position, I’ll join the nobility! Anyway, it won’t cost much! Besides, I am rich in the world and have no shortage of money!
After making random calculations in his mind, Yang Guang already had a rough idea in his mind. Suddenly, Yang Guang suddenly had the idea of going out of the city to greet the victorious soldiers as a way of comforting him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Yang Guang's idea came up, he was constantly opposed by the ministers. Moreover, it also brought some small and medium-sized things to Yuwen Xiaomagan'er who was dozens of miles away.
