Chapter 5 Jun En (Liu Shang) During his more than two years of suppressing bandits, through witnessing the civil disasters with his own eyes, Xu Zi's understanding of Yang Guang has basically been determined. Although he has been unwilling to accuse the other party of being stupid and incompetent,
However, the other party's behavior of shielding powerful traitors, condoning corruption, turning a blind eye to the suffering of the people, etc., did not make him feel disappointed. The same Yang Guang showed a completely different side when he came into close contact with him. This person would
Feeling guilty for the mistakes made in the past, this person will feel angry that the country has not been well governed, this person will feel aggrieved by the various criticisms from the people, and may even shed tears.
This person admired Li Xu so much that he promoted the latter despite all objections. Even when the national treasury was empty and most of the money and food from the counties could not be transported to the Eastern Capital, this person also vowed to solve the Fenyang Army's worries.
This person was worried about Li Xu's impulsiveness, and actually asked him not to attack Luo Yi for a short period of time, but to wait for the other party to lose his temper and reveal his flaws...
For a moment, justice and personal grudges were entangled in Xu Zi's heart, making his body half as hot as soup and half as cold as snow. He didn't know whether he should express his gratitude to Yang Guang or tell him the truth frankly.
The whole country has been in chaos for a long time. The itch that Pei Ju and others described as a mustard has now become the poison of blindness. If Your Majesty does not cheer up, the building will collapse in the near future!
"Your Majesty, I will be favored by Your Majesty. I am deeply grateful to you!" He said in a trembling voice, as if his soul had left his body. But before he could finish his words, Yang Guang had already punched him.
Wake up, "Look at you, you are such a bear! You are my confidant, if I don't take care of your future, who else will take care of it for you? Moreover, I asked you to go to Boling this time, not just to enjoy the blessings there. There is no big river in front and no mountains behind. It's a place."
If someone else is sent to this place worthy of the name of the Four Wars, I would be really worried!"
'Could it be that Your Majesty is well aware of the local situation, but you just don't want to tell the truth?' Xu Zi was stunned and thought wishfully, 'Your Majesty knows that powerful ministers are harming the country, so he has been keeping a low profile and waiting until the opportunity becomes commonplace and becomes a blockbuster.' This idea made
He felt hot all over his body, but Yang Guang's next words quickly shattered his hopes, "There have been many bandits in Hebei in the past two years, but they have not become a big deal. I heard that there is a thief king Xuba near your hometown who calls himself Mantian.
King, there is also a bandit commander Wei Dao'er who calls himself Li Shanfei. You can use them to train troops first. To the east of your headquarters is Dou Jiande. I have sent Yang Yichen there. I think he can be wiped out soon. As for the west
Noodles..." Yang Guang hesitated for a moment, and then quickly made a very generous gesture, "Forget it, I won't make it difficult for you on the west side. I will naturally make arrangements for you to train your soldiers well next year.
We monarchs and ministers should all take a breath and wait for the spring of the year after next. I will go to conquer Goryeo. Then I will let you be my pioneer and the general manager of Buyeo Province!"
"Does Your Majesty still want to conquer Liao?" Li Xu was shocked, and his whole body went cold. Considering the current situation of the Sui Dynasty, Goguryeo was already considered a thief in the Gao Yuan Dynasty without raising troops to invade the territory. The emperor and his ministers were unwise and the Sui Dynasty was actually planning to attack again.
, I am afraid that before the soldiers and horses could be assembled, soldiers from all over the country had already rebelled.
"You don't agree with me to conquer Goryeo?" Yang Guang saw Li Xu's expression change and asked suspiciously. At the beginning of this year, he was planning the fourth expedition to Liao. Among the ministers, except Pei Ju and Yu Wenshu, all other ministers agreed.
Everyone expressed their opposition politely. For those veterans who were over fifty years old, Yang Guang could think that they were old and weak. For those chattering civil servants, Yang Guang believed that the reason for their objections was mainly because they were frightened by the first defeat.
A courageous scholar? After all, he is less timid and not as risk-taking as a military general. But even his favorite general Li Xu, who is the bravest and best at fighting, also opposes it. Yang Guangzhen has some doubts about whether his decision has been hasty.
"The general believes that in order to pacify Goryeo, one must first ensure that the army has a safe retreat, so the general suggests that the rebels in various parts of the country should be pacified first, and then discuss the conquest of Liao!" I have heard that Yang Guang killed several people for the conquest of Liao.
, Li Xu did not dare to contradict him openly, so he used a tactful way to persuade him.
"Can the rebels from all over the country still hold on until next autumn? What do the many generals under my command do for a living?" Yang Guang shrugged his shoulders and strongly disagreed with Li Xu's "pessimistic" view. "I will fly Li Shanfei into the sky."
The king has entrusted you to hand over the Wagang army to Mr. Zhang, and hand over Dou Jiande to Yang Yichen. When I return to the eastern capital, let Fan Zigai personally lead the army to the east of the river to annihilate Jingpan Tuo. Qu Tutong went west to attack Sun Hua. All of you.
He is a famous general. I don’t believe you can’t deal with some thieves! I’m watching you from the Eastern Capital. Whoever completes the task first, I will make him the Duke of the country and hold the title for generations to come!”
"The general should do his best!" Li Xu knew that Yang Guang would not believe that the rebel forces in various places were already very large, so he had to retreat and do the next best thing. "If your majesty wants to conquer Liao, it is best to wait for the general for half a year to a year."
He and several veteran generals returned in triumph, General Luo Yi's attitude became clear, and it won't be too late for His Majesty to issue an order for conquest again!"
"Well, why have I forgotten Luo Yi again? If he rebels in Yuyang County, I really can't go to Liaodong by land!" Yang Guang only understood the last sentence of Li Xu's advice. If Luo Yi rebels,
If so, the route to the north would be blocked and the Liao army would not be able to reach its destination.
Thinking of this, he hit his head with the handle of the bow with some annoyance, "I'm really a little confused. Luo Yi is still in Yuyang. I'll listen to you this time. Please slow down the matter of conquering Liao and wait until the mess in front of you.
After arriving at Boling, how long will it take for the Fenyang Army to be able to fight?"
"Didn't His Majesty just tell the general not to be anxious?" Li Xu was confused by Yang Guang's jumping thoughts. He was stunned for a moment, and then asked tentatively.
"I just told you not to rush to conquer Luo Yi. He is a man of both intelligence and bravery, and he has the most elite armored cavalry in the Sui Dynasty. If you rush up to confront him on the plain, you will definitely be trampled to pieces by the cavalry.
"Yang Guang shook his head and explained his thoughts to Li Xu with a smile, "But what I'm asking is not when you will be sure to conquer Luo Yi, but when you will lead the Fenyang army to suppress the bandits with the same overwhelming force as you led the children of Qijun. I remember.
The last time I sent you to Licheng, I turned around and received a good news from the local government. Within a few months, there were no traces of banditry around Licheng!"
"That's all due to the good command of the old general Zhang Xutuo, and the county soldiers fought bravely at home!" Li Xu thought for a moment and decided not to speak too highly, "The Fenyang army and the county soldiers have a lot of differences.
The difference is that the combat effectiveness of the frontier troops is much higher than that of the county soldiers, but their morale is much worse than that of the county soldiers..."
"How long will it take you to train them all like this?" Yang Guang didn't quite understand why the morale of the border troops with high combat effectiveness was poor. He pointed to the busy soldiers in the distance and asked.
Under the command of Captain Zhang Jiang, more than a hundred Fenyang Army brothers galloped on horseback. They scattered and attacked, then outflanked and merged. They were driving more than a dozen large and harmless beasts towards Yang Guang and Li Xu.
Gan Luo rushed forward quickly, circling around the flanks of the deer, biting and charging, forcing the entire herd into the range of the arrows. Yang Guangmao raised his bow with a smile, put the arrow on the bow arm, and was driven over by the soldiers.
There were several wild deer, one of which was all gray and white, which was exactly what he had in mind.
"This place deserves the name of Bailu Mountain. There really are white deer!" Yang Guang shouted excitedly, his voice hoarse, and his cheeks were flushed again. "General Li Lang, you have trained a good soldier, so I gave him to you."
In a few days, you will be completely transformed!”
"They are all selected from a hundred. Each of them has experienced at least three battles. After the Fenyang soldiers are fully replenished, it will take at least three months to form combat effectiveness after training. Your Majesty, if you want each of them to reach the skill of these brothers, at least Rong Mo will be required."
The general will lead the recruits to fight a few battles and see blood before the team becomes murderous!" Li Xu looked at the brothers who were shouting and galloping, and answered in an unquestionable tone.
"I give you half a year, is that enough?" Yang Guang pointed his bow and arrow at the white deer that was getting closer and closer to him, and asked without looking back. The deer was quite spiritual, knowing that the end was coming, and was running and jumping on the top of the grass.
, never willing to let his running trajectory follow rules.
"If there are enough food, grass and equipment, I will try my best." Li Xu didn't quite understand Yang Guang's eagerness. He was full of confusion and refused to deal with Luo Yi or Dou Jiande. In Yang Guang's mind, Li Shanfei and Man Tian
The two Wangs were so vulnerable, so why was he rushing to refine his troops? Is there a more urgent target that needed to be dealt with?
Yang Guang did not continue the conversation between the two, and focused all his attention on hunting. His body turned from north to south, and then from south to east, but he was not sure of hitting the target. Gan Luo was a very good companion, and he skillfully replaced him.
His master created a good opportunity. Under its threat, the deer herd almost circled around Yang Guang and Li Xu. However, Yang Guang obviously underestimated the cunningness of the prey. The arrow could not leave the string, and he was so tired that he was sweating on his forehead and his arms were slightly tired.
tremble
Li Xu was afraid that Yang Guang would accidentally hurt Gan Luo, so he flew an arrow and shot down another doe next to the white deer. The frightened white deer suddenly stopped and neighed.
Yang Guang took the opportunity to loosen the bowstring, and the white deer fell down in response.
"Go and kill Zhang Jincheng for me!" Yang Guang put away his bow. He was so proud, but his expression was extremely desolate, "Send his head to Dongdu as soon as possible!"
