The first thousand two hundred and forty-four chapters Yang Su's means
"Currently, since Hongnong County, there are fourteen officials of fifth rank and above who are thieves, and sixty-five officials of seventh rank and above..."
"Yang Jian is indeed known as the stupidest prince in history. Regardless of the intentions of the various families, he actually forced almost all the young disciples of the seven sects and five surnames in the dynasty and the various families who stayed in the Eastern Capital to Yang Su's side. .And the fathers of these people are either close ministers of the current Holy Emperor, or they hold heavy troops at this time." Wang Junlin couldn't help but sigh, but his expression and tone were full of endless sarcasm and complexity, "This Yang Jian He is indeed Your Majesty's good son!"
When Shen Guoer heard this, she immediately understood Wang Junlin's mood at this time and continued to report: "On the 27th, Your Majesty, Yang Su ordered General Yang Gongdao of the Imperial Court to be the General of the March to the East, and Yu Rou to be the March Commander, to send troops to guard Ci. road!"
"Yang Su has good tactics!" Wang Junlin thought for a while and then understood the deep meaning of Yang Su's move. Yang Gongdao himself was a tiger general and the second son of Yang Xiong, the king of Guan, who died when the Sui Dynasty was founded. He is from the royal family, but he surrendered to Yang Su for some unknown reason. This is simply a slap in the face of Yang Guang. This is telling the world that even you, the royal family, no longer recognize Yang Guang as the emperor.
And Yu Rou's father was Yu Shiji, the emperor's most favored minister. In recent years, Yu Shiji had developed many of his own party members in the court, and together they even accounted for 20% of the civil servants.
Shen Guoer continued to report: "Yang Su also ordered Lai Yuan, the son of the general to protect his children, to be the general of Pingnan. Zhou Zhong was his deputy and took the Yique Road. He worshiped Han Shi'e as the general to rebel, led the troops to attack Xingyang, and sent General Lang Gu Jue, Zheng Yan attack Hulao Pass!"
When Shen Guoer reported, Luo Shixin had already taken out a map of the Sui army and used charcoal to outline the enemy's movements one by one. The original map was drawn by Nie Xiaoyu, so it centered on Luoyang and Henan. The situation of the counties in the Central Plains is very detailed and accurate, and every mountain, river, road, and river around Luoyang is clearly marked.
"Yang Su is indeed a treacherous and cunning person. He actually entrusted the nobles' children who came to surrender with important responsibilities. Now, these children of aristocratic families are leading the rebels and blocking all the passages to Luoyang from the water to the land." Although Wang Junlin was because of his hand. Holding a strong army, he looked down on Yang Su's hastily gathered army of hundreds of thousands, but he was filled with admiration for Yang Su's methods.
"After the great talent Wei Fusi defected to Yang Su, Yang Su ordered him to write a petition and sent Li Mi to lobby the surrounding counties of Luoyang. Now two more counties have surrendered to Yang Su..."
"These prodigal things!" Yuchi Jingde couldn't bear it anymore and finally cursed.
"The prince is also an idiot. He simply forced those officials to defect to Yang Su." Luo Shixin also cursed.
"These weaklings are all dandies, and they have had so many years of salary in vain!" When Xiong Kuohai said this, he looked gloating.
In the eyes of Xiong Kuohai, who came from a poor family, if you have more food, you should do more work. Children of aristocratic families have been enjoying the royal salary since they were born, so they should naturally pay more for the country. But when the rebels attacked the city, they But they surrendered to the enemy and scrambled for the first place. It is not their parents and family who are sorry.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's talk about the profound meaning of Yang Su's move." Wang Junlin waved his hand to stop everyone from cursing.
Everyone immediately shut up and meditated. Yuchi Jingde was the first to show surprise and said first: "Your Majesty, this old thief Yang Su is so clever! The reason why he treated Yang Gongdao, Wei Fusi, Gu Jue, Zheng Yan, and Han Shihe Officials from aristocratic families who waited for surrender entrusted them with important tasks without any doubt, just to make full use of their identities."
Wang Junlin nodded appreciatively and said, "Keep going."
Yuchi Jingde was encouraged by Wang Junlin and continued: "Your Majesty, Yang Su asked these people to lead troops to block each side. Whether we or other reinforcements want to approach Luoyang from any direction, they must first fight fiercely with the children of the aristocratic families who have surrendered to the enemy. If we lose the battle, let’s not talk about it. But if we win on the battlefield, how will we deal with the children of those powerful families?”
Wang Junlin nodded and said: "Yes, this is where Yang Su is brilliant, but the benefits of Yang Su's doing this are definitely not limited to these. Guo'er will continue to talk about the situation."
Shen Guoer immediately said: "Yang Su has subdued some rogue bandits, and now Luhun, Xingtai, and Yangcheng have fallen into the hands of the bandits. In addition, Han Xiangguo, the largest bandit in the counties of Henan, has gathered more than 100,000 people. We have received news , Yang Su has sent people to lobby. If the Han Prime Minister is conquered, Yang Su will have more than 300,000 people under his command."
The figure of 300,000 made everyone's expressions change instinctively. After Shen Guoer finished speaking about the situation, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, judging from the current situation, we are probably the first one to arrive near Luoyang. Reinforcements, but there is a problem."
Wang Junlin shook his head. Of course he knew what Shen Guoer was talking about. Those people from well-known families who took refuge in Yang Su were of course an unpardonable crime. If he defeated them and captured them alive, even if he didn't kill them, Yang Guang would eventually kill them. Now, these wealthy and powerful families would naturally hate him, Wang Junlin. And even he had to frown when he suddenly became enemies with so many powerful families.
"But no matter what, Yang Su must not be allowed to capture Luoyang, so even if he offends these noble families, he will not hesitate." But after frowning, Wang Junlin quickly felt relieved. Anyway, since his rise, various noble families have originally He regarded him as a thorn in his side. Even if he did not have any enmity with these powerful families, if they had the chance, they would not hesitate to kill him.
"Assemble the mobile sand table." Wang Junlin's expression had returned to calm and he ordered calmly.
Luo Shixin agreed and led several officers and soldiers from the General Administration Office to start assembling this unique mobile sand table in Fanyang County.
This mobile sand table was carefully made by Wang Junlin with reference to the map of the five hundred miles surrounding Luoyang before setting off from Fanyang County.
The distances and altitudes between ground objects and landforms were reduced by more than a hundred times, and were accurately calculated using millet grains and arithmetic chips.
Soon, a sand table with a length of more than five meters and a width of more than three meters was assembled, and the landforms and cities, mountains, rivers, routes, and rivers near Luoyang were clearly and intuitively presented to everyone.
Wang Junlin also ordered people to place black flags on the cities and territories that the rebel Yang Su had controlled and occupied. Soon everyone discovered that Luoyang had been surrounded. In other words, Luoyang was within a radius of more than 200 miles of Luoyang City. The only city without a black flag.
"How are we going to rescue this? After we enter, we will immediately be surrounded by rebels." Xiongkuohai saw this kind of sand table for the first time. It felt novel and he immediately discovered the problem.
