Wang Junlin had just witnessed the whole process in the crowd, and his face was already livid. He had not seen him for more than a year, and Yang Guang's personal expansion had reached such an extent. What kind of psychology made Yang Guang self-talk all day long?
I have reached a kind of abnormal self-confidence, or super self-righteousness.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this extreme self-confidence and pride that Yang Guang could not listen to any words of advice. Moreover, when the expedition against Goguryeo failed, he could not bear the blow, gave up on himself, ignored the government affairs, and spent all day studying how to defeat Goguryeo.
Yu Lian did not go to court, and in the end the court was controlled by Yu Wenshu, Pei Shiju, Yu Shiji and others. It was not until he conquered Goguryeo three times that he completely became a useless person.
Half an hour later, the eunuch of the inner palace announced an edict at the entrance of the palace, summoning the civil and military officials and the foreign officials to come to the palace to discuss the matter of crossing the Liao Dynasty. Wang Junlin followed him in with a heavy face, but he secretly cursed in his heart. Since it was
Why are these ninety-nine foreign envoys allowed in to discuss the war? Is it just to show these people?
"How disgusting is Yang Guang's vanity!" Wang Junlin cursed in his heart, wishing he could go up and slap Yang Guang hard in the face.
He has completely given up on Yang Guang, knowing that all his previous plans will never succeed. There is only one way to awaken an emperor who lives in a false world created by himself, and let him suffer failure. But after such a person is awakened
, there is so much self-disparity that it is difficult for him to face reality.
…
…
At this time, there were still a lot of people on the road outside the city, and it was endless as far as the eye could see. They were all officers and soldiers from all walks of life who were welcoming the holy driver back to camp. The soldiers' faces were full of jealousy and fascination, obviously seeing those silver helmets on their heads.
, the imperial guard, who was wearing colorful silk, regretted that he was unlucky when he joined the army and was assigned to the wrong team.
Mixed among the officers and soldiers, there were also large groups of ragged civilians pushing wheelbarrows and leading donkeys. They were civilians recruited from various places for labor service. There were more than 500,000 people here, and there were still people on the road.
There were more than two million people escorting the grain and grass, which was two or three times the size of the army.
There was only numbness and hatred on the faces of these people. Nearly half of the 600,000 auxiliary soldiers recruited by Yang Guang were actually watching them transport food and grass and build camps. From the beginning, people tried to escape every day and were killed.
.
It was said that they jointly discussed the matter of crossing the Liao Dynasty, but in fact Yang Guang did not accept anyone's advice, so there was no discussion. Only Yuwenshu announced the battle agenda on behalf of the emperor, and Wang Junlin, who originally wanted to say something, also chose to
Because of his status in Yang Guang's heart, he knew that if he raised objections, he would not be killed, but he would probably be dismissed from his official position. Rather than doing this, he would rather return to Fanyang County in silence to continue his plan.
Finally, Yang Guang announced that he would personally review the 30,000 soldier representatives tomorrow, and began to point out the generals at the scene. The people named would be those who will review the army with him tomorrow.
Yang Guang glanced across the audience, first seeing Yuwenshu at the front, and asked loudly: "I wonder if General Yuwenshu, who defeated Wu, broke through Guhun, and showed off his Sui power in Lingnan, can still survive?"
?”
Leading tens of thousands of soldiers to quell the war between Wu and Sanwu and stabilize half of the Yangtze River was Yuwenshu's most proud achievement in his life. When His Majesty the Emperor mentioned it in his own words, his blood immediately boiled. He strode out, bowed and said: "Old minister Yuwenshu, Shang
It is worthy of His Majesty’s command!”
"My staff, I wonder if you can still fight with the iron staff in your hand?"
When Mai Tiezhang heard that His Majesty the Emperor had called him the second time, he was inexplicably moved. He hurriedly walked out, clasped his fists and raised his head, and responded with emotion: "I will serve your Majesty to the death to defeat Goguryeo."
Wang Junlin heard what Mai Tiezhang said and thought of the historical fact that Mai Tiezhang died in Goguryeo during his first expedition to Goguryeo. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he had indeed sacrificed his life.
Mai Tiezhang said this, and Yang Guang was very satisfied and said: "Fu Zhi, your majesty will not be reduced from before. In the future, I will personally beat the drum and wave the flag for the general, so as to show your strength!"
"Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty. The last general will go to the enemy's soil first to promote the power of our Sui army!" The oath of Mai Tiezhang sounded like a bell, majestic.
"Wang Junlin, you have made great military exploits for the Sui Dynasty in the northwest. Are you willing to be my sharp sword on the sea and penetrate into the heart of Goguryeo?" Yang Guang next set his sights on Wang Junlin.
Wang Junlin immediately came out and said loudly and calmly: "I am willing to serve as a sword for Your Majesty. Your Majesty held it in your hand and thrust the sword into the heart of Goguryeo."
Yang Guang nodded with satisfaction, then turned his attention to Tang Guogong Li Yuan, who was transferred to take charge of the transportation of grain and grass half a year ago, and asked: "Do you know that before the troops and horses move, the grain and grass go first?
Who is raising food and grass for Skin in Liaodong?"
Everyone turned to look at Tang Guogong Li Yuan.
"Li Yuan, can my food and grass be sufficient for the army's eastern expedition?" Yang Guang asked loudly.
Li Yuan hurriedly stepped forward, saluted respectfully, and then replied loudly: "Your Majesty, Huaiyuan Town has a total of 20,000 kilograms of military grain, which can meet the needs of the army for three months. Liucheng and Yan County also have such a large amount of grain, and within one year
, the three armies will have no worries about food and clothing!"
Hearing this, Yang Guang nodded with satisfaction and said, "You will also come with me to inspect the army tomorrow."
Li Yuan immediately said excitedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I am willing to work hard for Your Majesty and ensure that there will be no mistakes in the food and grass."
Next, Yang Guang ordered five generals including Xin Shixiong and Li Zixiong, and six civil servants including Yu Shiji and Pei Shiju. These people will review the army with him tomorrow. Of course, they will be served delicious food and drinks along the way, and beauties will be served.
Ninety-nine envoys from various countries will also attend to observe. Without these people watching, how could Yang Guang's weak heart be satisfied.
…
…
The next day, civil and military officials and the Royal Forest Guards walked past the phalanx of soldiers.
Inside, Lai embraced His Majesty the Emperor and walked up to the general stage. An eunuch brought a bed. Yang Guang remembered the time when he led troops to conquer the south of the Yangtze River. He changed his plan temporarily and refused to sit down. He was wearing a ring and pushed away the guards.
He took a few steps forward and swept the entire place majestically.
Yuwenshu, who was standing on one side, chopped off his foot. A certain flag bearer behind him who had been watching Yuwenshu's movements suddenly gathered and raised the flag in his hands. Then the 30,000 soldiers under review shouted in unison: "See your majesty."
While shouting, they clasped their fists, stood upright, and gave military salutes to Yang Guang on the high platform in front of him.
"Soldiers, you have worked hard!" His Majesty the Emperor clasped his fists, stood in awe, and returned the same military salute.
"Through fire and water, no hesitation!" For this review, the 30,000 soldiers who had trained for two months shouted in unison. Waves of resonance echoed through the wilderness. The roar of the stormy waves made the ninety-nine envoys from various countries stand together.
Face frightened.
On the high platform, Yang Guang waved his hand, and the cheers of the thirty thousand people seemed to have been stabbed in an instant. The cheers suddenly stopped, and he looked around again. He pointed at the location of Goguryeo in the east and said loudly: "Can you serve as my general?"
Bring that piece of soil?"
"Fight, fight, fight!" the soldiers raised their arms and shouted, speaking the lines they had prepared in advance, and their voices echoed throughout the wilderness.
"My lords, have you heard this?" Yang Guang withdrew his gaze from the faces of the soldiers and turned to the civil and military ministers accompanying him during the military parade.
"I am willing to serve as your Majesty's front-line soldier, and I will die nine times without any regrets!" Yu Wenshu took the lead in saying, and the others quickly said in unison: "I am willing to serve as your Majesty's front-line soldier, and nine times I will die without any regrets!"
Wang Junlin mingled among the crowd and secretly sighed: "What a great show."
