Hearing the news brought back by Yu Wenshiji, the whole Xiongwu Xiaoguo camp was filled with joy. The happiest ones were the officers who had just been in the real vacancy, which meant that they no longer had to look around for jobs from now on.
In addition to being grateful, everyone suddenly had a good impression of Yuwen Shiji. This man was brave in battle, thoughtful, and willing to do his best to plan for everyone's future. Of course, he was a good supervisor who was hard to find even with a lantern.
As for his usual bad habits of being sharp-tongued and looking too high above his head, no one is willing to care too much about him since he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
However, generals with deep rifts between their backgrounds and the Yuwen family, such as Chief Shi Zhao Ziming, Colonel Li Mengchang, and Mingfa Army Joiner Qin Gang, disagreed. They believed that there was no such thing as free dry food in the world. Since Yuwen Shu and his son took the initiative to submit to the Xiongwu Xiaoguoying
To show his kindness, he must have some ulterior motive in his heart. Therefore, everyone reminded Xuzi over and over again in private, asking him not to be more careful about Yu Wenshiji's kindness. After hearing these words, Li Xu smiled every time,
He neither agreed nor denied, which made everyone feel very disappointed and couldn't figure out what Mr. Lang Jiang was thinking.
Li Xu doesn't have any good ideas in his heart. At present, he is not on the same level as Yuwen Shiji in terms of intelligence and connections. Under the current situation, he can only take one step at a time and cross the river by feeling the stones. The Yuwen family is not in good shape.
The Li family, the Xue family, the Pei family, the Yang family, all the big and small families are not something he can afford to offend as a general. Anyway, all parties are now showing favor to him, so Xuzi simply pretends to understand.
He was confused and maintained the fragile good feelings between each other. Before the patience of others was exhausted, he worked hard to develop his own strength quickly. Due to lack of experience and guidance from experts, Asahi has always been ignorant of officialdom matters.
Understood. But the lessons he learned on the grassland made him clearly realize that when others want to use you, it is mainly because of your use value, not how submissive you appear. Once your use value is lost, regardless of the relationship with the other party,
No matter how close you get, you can't escape the fate of being thrown away like used tissue paper.
Using the time saved by pretending to be ill, Xuzi quietly summarized the experience he gained in exchange for blood and lives in his first battle. Some of the experiences, such as how to unite the military's morale and how to boost morale, were found in the notes passed to him by Master Yang.
discussion. At this time, corresponding to practice, Xu Zi's understanding of these military arts deepened. Some experiences were not recorded in Master Yang's notebook. For example, after defeating a part of the enemy army,
Clinging to the defeated troops, using the enemy's defeated troops to attack their own positions, spreading panic like a plague, and finally leading to the collapse of the enemy's army, Asahi needs to comprehend and summarize it himself. Although he can't catch it for a while.
The key, but these fragmented experiences have been like strands of morning light, unknowingly penetrating through the fog in front of his eyes. Asahi's eyes looking at the surrounding forest banners are no longer as blank as before, but bit by bit
The earth gathers his own brilliance.
At the same time, Zhang Xiu also reorganized Xu Zi's personal army with the help of Li Mengchang and Zhao Ziming. The three of them had no good impressions of Yuwen Shiji, so they tried to avoid appearing in the personal army that was not involved with the Yuwen family.
A man of the Qing Dynasty. Yu Wenshiji noticed that someone was wary of him, but he did not take it seriously with several low-level officers who were far different from him. Apart from going to the Chinese army for routine support every day, he spent most of his time at home.
They all lay quietly on stretchers recovering from their injuries, rarely interfering with the specific affairs of the army.
The Duke of Chu, Yang Su, was both civil and military. He was in charge of the military affairs of the Sui Dynasty for more than 20 years. Nearly half of the army's lieutenant generals came from his disciples. In addition, he paid homage to the prime minister several times since the twelfth year of the founding of the emperor, and his civil servants and disciples had countless old friends.
When Yang Guang started to investigate like this, the implication became huge. Within two days, more than 200 civilian officials below the rank of Shangshu were removed from their posts and detained. Military generals, starting from generals to school lieutenants, brigade leaders, were arrested and held in prison camps awaiting trial.
There are countless officers, big and small.
Gao Shilian, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, was demoted to Jiaozhi to catch elephants because he had many friendships with Hu Sizheng. Wang Zhou and Yu Chuo, the great scribes who had always been friends with Yang Guang, were also demoted to the fortress because they sang short poems with Yang Xuangan.
He died. Several military generals who had recently been closely associated with Husizheng and who had no one to defend themselves in front of His Majesty the Emperor were even pushed out of the gate and beheaded in public, without giving them a chance to explain. For a time, all civil and military officials
They were in danger, and before they could declare defeat, the morale of the army was already shattered.
Upon seeing this, Yuwenshu hurried to the imperial camp to meet the emperor. Seeing the old general entering the tent, Yang Guang stepped down from the dragon chair, took his arm, looked up to the sky and sighed: "Since I succeeded to the throne, I have never failed you.
Sir, why have you betrayed me and done this?" After saying this, he couldn't stop crying.
Although Xu Guogong Yu Wenshu always liked to exercise power, he also knew that this was not the time to attack political opponents. After shedding a few tears, he began to play in a low voice: "Your Majesty has a far-sighted vision and wants to build the foundation of the Sui Dynasty for eternity. A group of ugly people has short eyes, how can they understand the Nine Heavens?"
The sound of the dragon's roar? It's just that the rebels are in full swing right now, so your majesty should return to the army to suppress them as soon as possible. There is insufficient food and grass, and the king's division is hanging alone overseas, which is not a long-term plan!"
Hearing what the Minister of Humerus said, the resentment in Yang Guang's heart eased slightly. He was not confused to begin with, and after some advice, he already knew that he could not hold the officials responsible for their crimes at this moment, but should return to the army first to ensure the country. Therefore,
Wiping away tears, he sighed and ordered: "According to the wishes of the Qing family, I will not care about them. It must have been the same when Wei Wu burned Xin!"
"Wei Wuzhi has three thirds of the world, how can he compare with His Majesty!" Yu Wenshu quickly bowed and thanked His Majesty the Emperor for his trust.
The monarch and his ministers sat facing each other again and sighed for a while, and Yang Guang asked about the whole story of this eastward march. Yu Wenshu, with his eloquent words, told how the enemy and we faced each other on both sides of the Mazhai River, and how Gao Yuan's clown was so frightened that his courage broke.
Waiting for the situation to be explained one by one. I sighed that the Sui Dynasty had to withdraw its troops at the critical moment, so that the Goguryeo people could survive. Speaking of being blocked in the unknown valley on the way back, Yuwen described the merits of his son Yuwenshi and the soldiers of Hexiongwu Xiaoguoying.
They played in turn, and finally stood up again to express their gratitude to His Majesty the Emperor for sending brave generals to take over.
"What about General Li Lang's military tactics?" Yang Guang asked casually after hearing Yu Wenshu mention Xiongwu Xiaoguo Camp.
"Your Majesty's eyes are like a torch, and he actually promotes good generals to the army! General Li is extremely brave. He will take the lead in every battle, kill generals and seize flags, just like picking up objects from a bag!" Yu Wenshu stood up and answered very solemnly.
"So, he is a rare warrior!" Yang Guang smiled and commented. A warrior can be a general, not a commander. Although his rescue effect was great this time, he had to postpone the idea of ​​promoting him.
On the second day after the meeting, His Majesty the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty announced that all those involved with Yang Su and his son would be forgiven. Those who had been beheaded were buried generously, and those who had been sent thousands of miles away, except Gao Shilian, all others were sent to recover. Court meeting
After that, Yang Guang issued an order and ordered Pei Ju, the Huangmen servant, to take charge of military affairs and organize troops and horse squads. Old Nayan Suwei went out to patrol Guanzhong to appease various places. Xu Guogong Yu Wenshu led the twelve guards to return to the army to conquer Yang Xuangan, and the troops stationed in various places along the way were unified.
Under his command. In view of the military exploits of the Xiongwu Xiaoguo Battalion, the imperial court decided to convert all the Xiaoguo battalion into government soldiers, removing the word "Xiaoguo", and directly calling it Xiongwu Camp. It was subordinate to the Zuoqi Guards and one of the emperor's imperial guards.
1. After receiving the corresponding armor and staff, the soldiers and horses of the battalion accompanied Xu Guogong Yu Wenshu to conquer the rebels.
At the same time, the imperial court ordered the temporarily recruited soldiers, except for the standing troops of the Twelve Guards and Four Prefectures, to form a group and return home after passing through Zhuo County. Since the millions of troops worked hard to no avail, so the original promise was made
The rewards and rewards were reserved for further discussion. After the news came out, the armies complained. When the second larger army broke out of camp and returned to the west that night, tens of thousands of soldiers dispersed. For a time, the people were furious, scrambling for the road, and chaos.
They formed a group. All the paths were scattered, people flowed in and out, and there was no group left.
On the morning of June 29th, the Liaodong City Guardsman discovered that all the Sui soldiers and horses were gone, and mountains of baggage were discarded outside the city. Fearing that it was a trick, he did not dare to go out to pick up things. After another four or five days, the military order from the rear was sent
After arriving, the Liaodong garrison opened the city gate and followed him to pursue him. Except for defeating thousands of remaining soldiers, he found nothing on the east bank of the Liao River.
The Goguryeo people organized their troops and wanted to seize western Liaoning. Xue Shixiong, the ambassador of the Northeast Road, led his troops to fight across the river. The Goguryeo monarchs and ministers had always been afraid of this murderous demon. After the two sides faced off for half a month, the Goguryeo people ran out of food and could not survive.
Liaodong City was not withdrawn. The counties in western Liaoning during the Sui Dynasty were actually preserved because of this.
The soldiers of the Xiongwu Camp had great merit, but the imperial court did not issue rewards in time. The soldiers inevitably complained. Faced with this situation, Li Xu was at a loss what to do. Seeing this, Yu Wenshi, the supervisor of the army, quietly ordered someone to prepare a generous gift and sent it to him.
Huangmen Shilang Pei Ju. So, after the army withdrew across the Great Wall, the emperor's imperial edict was spread to the army. Generals at all levels were promoted. Ordinary soldiers were also awarded copper coins, cloth and other items according to their merits.
As a reward, His Majesty the Emperor comforted a general and a supervisor in the imperial edict, but did not mention a word about the reward. (To be continued)
