The trouble Li Po encountered is a bit ridiculous.
There were too few rewards in the tournament, and the rewards were a bit too generous, so countless people in the army became jealous.
Unlike later generations, the first thing most people thought of was that there was something shady when they first saw a red flag. The soldiers at this time were not so evil. They just thought that they could hold it again. After all, they were idle in winter.
Li Po had a big head at that time, and he struggled for more than a month. Look at all the hard work I put in. I was injured before. I haven’t even grown much this year. That woman Li Bi is as tall as me. Is it easy for me?
I.
Damn it, I actually want to do it again. You think I am a tough guy? I really don’t know how many things are going on. There are six thousand people, and more than half of them are participating. It is an event with thousands of people. Li Po thought about it, and he couldn’t help but
Shivered.
No, absolutely not, no one can say.
However, there are more and more people coming to lobby, and they are all guys like brigade commander who have neither high nor low military rank.
These guys with big muscles and round waists can all be said to be warriors in the army. They may not have any brains, but their bodies are definitely stronger than the last.
Originally, these guys didn't pay much attention to the military competition. No brigade commander would steal the limelight from his subordinates. It wouldn't be embarrassing enough if he did participate.
But I regretted it later. A junior corps commander was directly promoted to brigade commander. Damn it, how many military exploits did it take to be promoted so quickly?
If I win next time, and the leader of the Sixth Army doesn't dare to hope, I can always get a battalion lieutenant to be the leader.
Even if it doesn't work out, you can always go to Yunnei Castle and enjoy it.
Six thousand people, you can have as many brigade marshals as you want, and you can speak as many brigade marshals as you want. This made Li Po very annoyed, and finally agreed to come again next summer before sending everyone away.
Then Li Bi came to trouble him again, saying that he didn't do serious things but only made fools around.
Actually, I'm blaming him. He led the soldiers into mischief, so it's just a reward and a promotion, so forget about it. He lets people go to a brothel to fool around. Is there such a leader?
Fortunately, Li Po could still control himself and did not take the lead. Otherwise, what Li Bi said here would never be like this.
Li Po was the leader of the two, and he managed to fool Li Bi again by presenting facts and reasoning.
The fact is that the morale of the Heng'an Town Army is extremely high, the atmosphere in the military camp is very lively, and the military morale is usable.
The reason is that there are many ways to unite the morale of the military, and it doesn't matter what the difference is. As long as the soldiers feel that it feels good to be a soldier under you, that will be the case.
Li Po is so tired. No need to mention it.
This winter, the emperor's edict came again, and he ordered two thousand troops from Mayi to be sent to Hebei next spring to punish disobedient officials.
What makes people laugh or cry is that in addition to the order to mobilize troops, the emperor's edict also added that the emperor's fifty-two battles and Cheng Tang's twenty-seven expeditions were successful.
The meaning is very clear. I only fought twice, so what does it mean?
But is it a matter of arithmetic?
It is estimated that this sentence is included in every edict to mobilize troops. It can be regarded as the emperor shyly giving an explanation to the people of the world. It seems that he himself is a little guilty.
But at this time, it is useless for you to issue an edict to offend yourself, let alone such a sentence that seems to be showing off your literary talent.
At this time, Li Jing was quite shocked. It actually happened. Could it be that the Sui Dynasty's energy was really exhausted?
In fact, Li Jing had previously thought that the emperor would not send troops to attack Goguryeo again. After all, even people like Yang Xuangan had rebelled, and the emperor should be able to calm down for a while and calm down the chaos in various places first.
As for whether the wars in various places could be calmed down, Li Jing believed that it was already very difficult. The two expeditions against Goguryeo completely destroyed the emperor's majesty and Yang Xuangan's rebellion was just the beginning. There should be many others who would come after him.
As for where the world's general trend will go, Li Jing has no idea.
But at such a time, it was completely unexpected for the emperor to raise troops to conquer Liaodong, just like when the emperor issued an edict at the end of the eighth year of Daye and prepared to raise troops again.
I thought it was impossible, but it just happened.
However, Li Jing was almost numb, and then he just thought that the emperor had gone crazy and had nothing to say, so where should he go in the future?
What he didn't know was that his eldest brother Li Duan felt that the opportunity had come this time and wanted to conquer Liaodong.
Because there are fewer and fewer capable people around the emperor, this is a very good opportunity in Li Duan's opinion.
Li Duan's perspective was rather unique, but the effect was very good. When he arrived in Dongdu, he immediately received Yang Guang's attention and allowed him to lead the army alone.
More than ten years later, Li Yaowang finally got his wish and went into battle again.
This time he did not forget his brother, and wrote a letter to persuade Li Jing to accompany him on the expedition and to provide him with advice.
Li Jing received the letter, looked at it and put it aside immediately. They were brothers fighting. When father and son went into battle, the two brothers would surely stab each other if they found the right opportunity.
If he really believed what Li Duan said and followed him to Liaodong, whether he could come back or not was up for grabs.
You know, that stabbing blow made Li Jing heartbroken.
At the end of winter, in order to commend his student for his insightful view of the general trend of the world, Li Jing sent someone to bring some military books and his own notes to Li Po.
But face-to-face teaching is better. As long as Li Po's handwriting is so ugly and he still reads so few books, he and Li Jing won't have much in common.
For Li Po, although he had a lot of troubles, in total, this winter of the ninth year of Daye was the most comfortable winter that Li Po had ever experienced.
At the end of the new year, the officers and soldiers of Heng'an Town gathered in camp to celebrate.
Li Bi hosted a banquet in honor of the generals, and the whole year passed in a lively manner.
And after this day, it will be ten years since Daye
This year is not a good one for Mayi.
In February, refugees suddenly started to cause chaos in Mayi, near the county magistrate of Mayi, and the momentum was quite high.
When Li Bi and Li Po in Heng'an Town heard the news, the chaos was over.
Li Jing, the Prime Minister of Mayi County, personally led his troops to quell the chaos. During this battle, Yuchi Gong finally stood out. After the chaos was settled, he was awarded the title of Chaosan Dafu for his military merits.
This chaos seems a bit inexplicable to Li Po. In the county, with Li Jing in charge, how could refugees suddenly cause chaos?
But then, the county magistrate Li Jing used the excuse of the refugees to cause chaos and did not send any more troops to Hebei. He soon asked for merit for the meritorious soldiers.
If this chaos is a bit sudden and there is not much reason, then the news coming from the north is very normal.
Maybe he suddenly noticed that the Sui people were in rebellion and the internal strife was quite fierce. The Turkic royal court finally shifted its attention back from the Western Regions.
At this time, the Western Turks were already suffering terribly under the pressure of the increasingly powerful Turkic royal court. More importantly, they could no longer get help from the Sui Dynasty.
And the Turks are now becoming more and more powerful. There is no way, the war in the Central Plains has caused many people to defect to the Turks, which has enhanced the strength of the Turks to the greatest extent.
At the beginning of the tenth year of the Great Cause, the figures of Turkic cavalry began to appear frequently on the Yunzhong Grassland. Soon, the Turks spread and officially took the Yunzhong Grassland into their own hands.
Dingxiang County, a northern border county that had been abandoned in the Sui Dynasty, changed hands. The buffer zone formed by the two countries' stalemate for many years disappeared.
At this time, the Turks could look south at the Great Wall and herd their horses. By this time, war between the two countries was actually inevitable.
As for Yang Guang, the Holy Khan who led the subjects of the Sui Dynasty and the pilgrims of all countries, what did he do in the ten years of the Sui Dynasty? He spent half of the time walking on the road to Liaodong.
It was already July when we started our troops at the end of April and walked to Huaiyuan Town.
There was no way, the troops on the way had no morale, and the generals had no fighting spirit. Along the way, the soldiers fled all the way. Yang Guang's car cover, after being baptized by the wind and snow in Liaodong, looked as dull as his throne, showing the
Image of ruin.
Out of more than 200,000 troops, when they arrived at Huaiyuan Town, only more than 100,000 remained. It was probably impossible for the Sui army to go to Liaodong City again. The weather in Liaodong no longer allowed the Sui army to fight.
When Laihuer's navy arrived, they captured Bisha City and advanced on Pyongyang.
In the northern border areas, the Turks' tendency to move south has become apparent, and the chain reaction brought about is completely collapse-type.
First, the Yulin Racecourse was under great threat. Coupled with the repeated rebellions, the Yulin Racecourse had to move south.
The Liangzhou Racecourse has been captured by Bai Yusuo's rebels.
Almost overnight, the Sui Dynasty lost two very important sources of war horses, leaving only Mayi and Yanmen Racecourse.
Most of the Sui Dynasty's border generals still maintained a minimum of loyalty, and they were all well prepared and waiting fearfully for the war to come.
But the so-called rebels don't have so many worries. It can be said that the one thing they long for most is to get help from the Turks.
Anyone who can exchange news with the Turks will immediately choose to surrender to the Turks and receive a nominal guarantee.
In the tenth year of Daye, Mayi looks more peaceful and solemn.
At this time, many people in Jin believed that even if the Turks went south, they would not choose the peaceful Yanmen of Mayi.
The calm means that these places still have enough power to resist the Turks' southward march.
It is indeed true that Mayi, Yanmen, Loufan, and Jinyang all have strong cities that can be defended. Although the military strength in these places has been greatly reduced during the three expeditions to Liaodong, as long as the government troops are recruited, there will definitely be a
The power of war.
But things are changing, and who can say clearly?
In March of the 10th year of Daye, Li Jing, the Prime Minister of Mayi County, secretly ordered the Heng'an Town Army to take turns to go out of the fortress and sweep the Yunzhong Grassland.
I checked too much information, and I forgot whether Li Yaowang only participated in the second Liaodong War or the third. I don’t want to go back and check. It’s too troublesome. Let’s just assume that he only participated in the third Liaodong War.
, Anyway, as Li Jing’s brother, this man is quite tragic. To be continued.
