Thank you very much to Haihu 888, Xu Bodhi, Shuyou 38965322, Xiao Tianxin, 69 for their generous support and monthly ticket support.
In late February of the sixth year of Daye, nearly a million troops of the Sui Dynasty's eastward expedition to Goguryeo finally arrived on the east bank of the Liao River. After the troops recruited from various counties set up camp, they spanned more than 40 miles.
After the nearly one million troops had set up camp around Huaiyuan Town, Yu Wenshu, who had come to coordinate the army in advance, dispatched fine cavalry to protect the official road, and mobilized the people to level the road where the quilts and horses were buried with loess, and filled it with clear water. After washing away the dust on the tree trunks on both sides of the road, Yang Guang arrived under the escort of the twelve guards of the Emperor's Imperial Camp after everything was tidied up.
The 120,000 emperor's royal camp army led by Yang Guang, each wearing silver armor on their heads and wearing silk on their chests, arrived at Huaiyuan Town to the sound of rumbling war drums. They looked in good order.
Especially among the 30,000 cavalry gathered around Yang Guang's small-town-like palace, there was actually one cavalry formation for every 10,000 people, and the horses of the three cavalry formations were in three colors: white, black, and brown. The colors of the ten thousand cavalry units turned out to be the same.
After the 30,000 cavalrymen passed by, ninety-nine old men over seventy with all children and grandchildren selected by Li Zixiong, the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong March, came on the road. They were asked to hold brooms made of green bamboo and make sweeping gestures while sweeping the road. Like this, while moving forward, he would go down from time to time to "uproot" the weeds that didn't exist at all.
After the road was cleared and the weeds were "plucked", His Majesty's imperial meatball, which was one foot wide and nine feet long and more than thirty feet long, slowly appeared in front of the troops and working people in Huaiyuan Town, but in fact they could not All I saw was meat.
I don’t know if it’s because Yang Guang has killed so many people in the past few years. He has been assassinated several times in the past two years, but under the protection of the emperor’s bodyguards led by Yuwen Chengdu, he never succeeded.
However, it also made Yang Guang be more careful when traveling. At this time, in order to prevent assassins from attacking, the left and right armies in the emperor's imperial camp protected Yu Xun on both sides. Yu Xun took a step forward under the pull of the war horse, and the left and right armies The bodies of the soldiers also surged forward, resembling the bodyguards next to the cars of later heads of state when they visited.
In addition, due to Yang Guang's urine, most of the officials in the court would follow him wherever he went. At this time, all the civil and military officials who had followed him all the way from Luoyang were with Yu Hao, so that Yang Guang could summon him at any time.
Fortunately, Yang Guang did not treat the officials as ants as he treated the common people. In order to show consideration for the hard work of the officials, His Majesty the Emperor specifically allowed officials of the third rank and above, and nobles above the township marquis to bring their families with them. But the problem is that they go to war with them. I don’t know what my family members are thinking.
Accompanying the officials were the Eastern Turks and Western Turks, Gaochang Kingdom, Zhaowu Kingdom, etc., as well as envoys from various countries or large tribes surrounding the Sui Dynasty. Their chariots and staffs were arranged in addition to the internal guards, and they were the rear of the emperor's six armies. Before the army was launched, specially recruited civilians were appointed to serve in daily life.
It was Yang Guang's ingenious idea to let envoys from various countries observe the majesty and grand occasion of his personal conquest of Goguryeo. Ministers such as Yu Shiji, Pei Shiju and Yu Wenshu gathered ninety-nine envoys for Yang Guang. God knows how many of them were genuine. How many of them are fake? In short, the existence of these ninety-nine messengers has greatly satisfied Yang Guang's super vanity.
In particular, most of the ninety-nine envoys did not know who they were trained by. Their respectful and admiring expressions and exaggerated words of praise when facing Yang Guang made Yang Guang feel that he was the only one in the world, and even gave birth to a child as long as his own army.
Once you arrive, you can easily feel the surrender of Goguryeo.
The city entry ceremony was grand and grand, and even the Goguryeo people across the Liao River could feel its majesty. Especially since Yu Wenshu had gone through many rehearsals in advance, the whole process of the ceremony was perfect, no less than the grand military parades of later generations.
.
The only flaw that appeared was the small city gate of Huaiyuan, a border military town.
This is just a small city in a border military town. How big can the city walls and gates be? The most important thing is that when they were built decades ago, who would have thought that the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty would want to conquer the city personally, and also ride such a huge imperial carriage.
Yang Guang came all the way, sitting or standing on Yuxin, overlooking his army, overlooking his country, and overlooking the envoys from various countries. He had long been accustomed to the feeling of being aloof. When Yu Wenshu came to report that the city gate in front was too small, Yuxin
When it was difficult to pass, Yang Guang's face immediately darkened, and he said coldly: "Are you going to let me go in?"
Yu Wenshu immediately said respectfully: "Your Majesty's power cannot be blocked by this small city gate. Why don't you first have a banquet with the envoys from various countries in the imperial palace and give me a stick of incense?"
Yang Guang nodded proudly, and Yu Wenshu left immediately.
Yu Wenshu gave an order, and tens of thousands of soldiers rushed forward, carrying them with their shoulders and hands. In a moment, they directly tore down the gates and frames of the outer city and the Wengcheng, and expanded the door opening by more than seven feet.
"Wherever the might of God comes, the clown country of Goguryeo will be destroyed. Wherever your majesty comes, you will surely perish." In order to prevent His Majesty the Emperor from being unhappy because of the delay in demolishing the city gates, Yu Shiji took the lead and said loudly.
Not far away, he arrived here yesterday. Wang Junlin, who had witnessed the whole process, looked at Yu Shiji's words and deeds at this time. Inexplicably, he remembered the scene when someone who practiced Huigong Dafa appeared on the scene in Mr. Jin's Tianlong Babu, and his expression became more and more serious.
He was getting colder and colder, and he had the urge to take out his musket and shoot Yu Shiji to death.
However, the other ministers who came from Luoyang were already accustomed to such scenes, and they quickly bowed and said in unison: "Wherever the power of heaven comes, the clown country of Goguryeo will be destroyed. Wherever your majesty comes, the country will surely perish."
Next, the envoys from various countries also made a lot of flattery. After these things were done, the city gate was cleared. Then, amid the cheers of everyone, Yu Xun, who stopped for a moment, walked slowly and walked to Huaiyuan Town.
On a street that is not wide.
Then the question came again, how wide can the streets of a small military town be? The great emperor, who thought he was a god, was blocked again. This time Yu Wenshu did not need to ask for instructions, and directly ordered tens of thousands of people.
Soldiers were demolishing houses in front, and tens of thousands of soldiers were cleaning up garbage in the back. Soon a spacious road was cleared. As for the owners of these houses, they knelt there in the distance, crying silently, not daring to say a word at all, because they knew that
To say anything is to die.
In this way, Yang Guang's driving went smoothly. After two hours of idiotic demonstrations and wandering, it took more than a month to move in to Yu Wenshu, who was sent in advance. Dozens of people were exhausted and tens of thousands of people were mobilized temporarily.
The built palace.
This was not over yet. When Yang Guang climbed to the second floor of an attic of the palace and overlooked the outside, hundreds of officials and ninety-nine foreign envoys shouted out as if they had rehearsed and then resigned. They were then picked up by the palace supervisor and arranged to conduct a tour around the palace.
