Although he was treacherous, he was always magnanimous and magnanimous in his actions, coupled with his outstanding military exploits, his reputation in that era was not particularly bad.
When it comes to generosity, Li Xingchen is also very interesting. First there is the reunion, then there is the beauty of adulthood, and finally there is the night rush. This guy's generosity seems to come from wearing a hat for himself. No matter how you look at it, the hat is a bit green.
But his son Yang Xuangan is really not very honest.
Even the collapse of the Sui Dynasty's foundation can be said to have begun with the Yang Xuangan Rebellion.
Li Xingchen is not afraid of Yang Xuangan. Yang Xuangan is still young now, but Li Xingchen is also still young. Even if he is making trouble, what is the use against the young Li Xingchen? What's more, ambitions vary from person to person. Yang Xuangan is in Korea.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty had the courage to initiate unrest. Faced with Li Xingchen, who had absolute control over military power, did he have the courage?
Therefore, Li Xingchen would reuse Yang Su and would not do anything to Yang Xuangan.
Even if Yang Xuangan wants to enter the official career, Li Xingchen will not stop him. As long as you can pass the imperial examination, everything will follow the rules.
History has changed, and times have also changed. Even though the inertia of history is very strong, Li Xingchen is confident that he can change everything when he needs to change.
What's more, within the system of the Han Dynasty, it is impossible for Yang Su to reach a position below one person and above ten thousand people like the Duke of Yue in history. At most, he can only reach the pinnacle of military generals, and among military generals,
There are two people, Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie, pressing on the top of the mountain, so it is conceivable that the end of his career will be Taiwei.
But even if he is a Taiwei, he cannot be underestimated.
Now Li Xingchen has more important things to discuss with Yang Su: "Aiqing, the war in Hedong was planned by the Taiwei Mansion. I think this battle is very important and should be the first in winter, so I am worried. Is Aiqing willing to go there?
, to guard the front line for me?"
Yang Su was startled for a moment, and then felt ecstatic.
The surrounding officials also had strange expressions.
Help His Majesty to check the situation. This is His Majesty's clear statement that Yang Su should take command.
In other words, the coach of the Hedong battle fell on Yang Su.
Judging from the entire battle situation, the difficulty of the Battle of Hedong was actually not very high. The Han army from Luoyang to Chenliu contained the main force of the Northern Zhou Dynasty on the other side of the river, and the Han army in Pingcheng contained the Zhou army in Jinyang and Youzhou.
Therefore, Hedong was originally a common weak point in the defense lines of both sides. Now the Han army is preparing to attack from here, and secretly has the support of the Hedong family. Unless the coach is really incompetent or there is a sudden change, the winning rate for the Han army will be very high.
Therefore, Li Xingchen asked Yang Su to take charge of Hedong. It was obvious that he asked Yang Su to do gilding.
As the chief historian of the Taiwei Mansion, the biggest flaw in Yang Su's current resume is that he has almost no experience in leading an army on his own. This is also the reason why he can serve the masses in the Taiwei Mansion but cannot serve in the army.
The simplest thing in the army is that they have big fists and strong principles. Naturally, the generals recognized by the soldiers are famous generals with great military exploits. The reason why Li Xingchen can still maintain a high prestige even though he is not often in the army is because he led him in his early years.
With the glorious victories achieved by the Han army, the Han soldiers could not help but deify him, so even if Li Xingchen did not show up, it would not hinder everyone's respect and belief in him.
What Yang Su lacks is obviously this.
And this is also the last door that prevents him from changing from the chief official of the Taiwei Mansion to the Taiwei.
After opening this door, Yang Su was qualified to be promoted to Taiwei.
The current Taiwei Mansion nominally honors Xiao Mohe, but Xiao Mohe has long been in a state of semi-retirement, running back and forth between several military academies, enjoying teaching and educating people. After all, his son
Xiao Shilian was already a highly respected minister. As a father, of course he had to keep a low profile as possible. Moreover, as he was getting older, there was no harm in cultivating some talents. It would be too shameless to go out and compete with young people for credit.
Therefore, Yang Su is now in charge of the Taiwei Mansion. Within the Taiwei Mansion, of course there is no objection to Yang Su being promoted to Taiwei. This is what he deserves, so as long as Yang Su can sit back and win the Battle of Hedong, even if it is not so beautiful
, that is, even if you are recognized by the military, you can naturally become a Taiwei.
"I obey the decree," Yang Su solemnly handed over his hand, "I must control the east of the river and open a way for your majesty!"
There is only one step away from Taiwei, and Yang Su will definitely go all out.
Li Xingchen nodded. The Yang Su of this era was different from the historical Yang Su. The historical Yang Su had participated in the war between the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Southern Chen Dynasty early on, including the Northern Zhou Dynasty's attack on Huainan, and later on
As the coach of Shu, he defeated Chen and made great military exploits. In this era, Yang Su naturally never had the opportunity to lead a side. After all, Li Xinchen did not give the Northern Zhou Dynasty a chance to attack Huainan, and at that time, Yang Suxin had already flown to Li Xinchen
Here, all I can think about is sowing discord between Yu Wenxian and Yang Jian.
Not having been in the army has always been a regret for Yang Su, and it also made him lack of confidence. Now Li Xingchen might as well give him this opportunity.
On the other side of Fenglingdu, the sky was dark.
The once turbulent river was now completely frozen, like a giant dragon trapped under a thick layer of ice. Even though it roared in all kinds of ways and was unwilling to give in, it could only remain trapped in a humiliating way.
Because of the previous snowfall, the ice on the river was not too thin. Han army scouts had tried to dig it out, so there should be no problem even if the ice was cut immediately.
Stationed in Hongnong County on the other side of Fenglingdu was Huang Wan of Yingyang Army. This time when they marched to Hedong, Yingyang Army was also the main force. Li Xingchen removed Huang Wan's command and a small half of Lu Guangda's command, and the force was divided between two
There were tens of thousands of people, plus 3,000 cavalry and tens of thousands of civilians, so it was considered a huge force.
The Han army has been gathering secretly in the past few days. It is not a secret among the top brass internally, but the generals at the middle and lower levels are actually unaware of it, and they claim to the outside world that it is all normal military mobilization and training.
Training is a very common military training method for the Han army. The army marches long distances and chooses open areas for drills to improve the army's ability to march quickly and quickly enter the battlefield. Therefore, the generals within the Han army did not find it strange.
In winter, we really stay in the barracks every day. I'm afraid these guys are lazy as pigs. There's no harm in coming out to practice.
The Han army was still keeping secrets inside, and the Northern Zhou army on the other side was not aware of any rumors.
In addition to the unquestionable reason for the mobilization of the Han army, it was also due to the Battle of Pingcheng.
The grain and equipment of the Han army in Pingcheng were transported northward through Heluo and Guanzhong. Therefore, there were a large number of grain and fodder convoys passing by, which was not enough to make the Northern Zhou army be more vigilant.
In just three days, the Han army had completed all deployments.
