Turbulent Times Chapter 1242: Besieging Wei and saving Zhao

Now, His Majesty the Emperor, who has been attacked one after another, has no other way to 'smooth the donkey's hair' except to praise him greatly.

At this time, if someone directly tells Yang Guang not to do anything in a tone of remonstrance, it will only make His Majesty, who has become more sensitive, furious and furious, and then let the guards take the person who advised him down to death.

Fortunately, Dugu Changsu has an extraordinary mind. A few words with Yang Guang relieved Yang Guang's knot. The uncle and nephew sat and sighed at each other for a while. Yang Guang may have been hit one after another and lost his previous self-confidence. , so there is no self-restraint and super self-confidence, and he humbly asks Dugu Changsu what to do now.

Dugu Changsu was prepared long ago, and he didn't even dare to act like an uncle. With a humble tone and expression, he offered advice and suggestions one by one.

After half an hour, Yang Guang announced that he would not blame anyone involved with Yang Su and the Hongnong Yang family. Those who had been beheaded were buried generously, and those who had been distributed thousands of miles away, except for Gao Shilian, were sent to recover by envoys.

He also convened a court meeting of important ministers, and made an order on the spot, ordering Pei Ju, the servant of Huangmen, to take charge of military affairs and organize troops and horses. Dugu Changsu went out to patrol the customs to appease all places. Half of the soldiers from the Twelve Guards went north to Yanmen Pass to deal with the Turks, and the other six soldiers from the Guards returned to the army to conquer the traitor Yang Su.

At the same time, the imperial court ordered the temporarily recruited soldiers except the standing soldiers and horses of the Twelve Guards and the Four Mansions to form a team and return home after the soldiers passed Youzhou.

It's just that the millions of soldiers have worked hard to no avail, so all the promised rewards are left to the class teacher to discuss. After the news came out, the armies complained a lot. And when the larger army returned to the west from the camp on the second night of the night, tens of thousands of soldiers scattered away.

For a while, everyone was in a rage, scrambling for the way, and they were in a mess. All the ways are scattered, the flow of people is rolling, and there is no one to return to the army.

In addition, Yang Guang adopted the words of Dugu Changsu, and ordered the chief of the Far East March, the prefect of Fanyang County, and Wang Junlin, King of Qin'an, to lead his army to Luoyang immediately to fight against Yang Su's rebels.

Both Dugu Changsu and Yang Guang knew that Wang Junlin had a deadly feud with Yang Su, so among the civil and military officials of the Sui Dynasty and local officials, Wang Junlin was the least worried about colluding with Yang Su. In addition, Wang Junlin was invincible The name of Poison General is definitely the sharpest disease-killing sword in the current crisis of the Sui Dynasty. If it is not used now, when will it be?

.

Of course, in the hearts of Yang Guang and Dugu Changsu, it is possible that they hope that the soldiers and horses controlled by Wang Junlin and the troops of the rebel Yang Su will die together and consume each other.

It's just that the two of them didn't know that Wang Junlin had already taken the sea route, entered the river mouth and entered the canal, and the army was dispatched in advance.

…

…

On the twenty-sixth day of the seventh month, at dawn, Yuan Gai Suwen in Liaodong City found that the Sui soldiers and horses had all gone, and the luggage outside the city was abandoned like a mountain.

Although Yuan Gai Suwen's mental ability is better than his father's, the lord Gao Jianwu b is not an ordinary person, so the troops Yuan Gai Suwen can control are far from being able to resist the army of the Sui Dynasty with his father last year time compared.

Yuan Gai Suwen also had the same purpose as Yuan Taizuo last year, wanting to improve his prestige in the country through a big victory, so Liaodong City is full of direct descendants he can control. I have consumed a lot, and my heart aches to death.

So, now Yuan Gai Suwen has to be cautious when doing things, lest it is a conspiracy of the Sui Dynasty, he dare not open the city gate and send people out of the city to pick it up.

After another two full days, Yuan Gai Suwen finally received an urgent report from the spies outside the city, and ordered his men to break open the city gates, follow them and kill them, and defeated more than 20,000 Sui troops who had been cut off by Yang Guang's force. .

Yuan Gai Su Wen wanted to reorganize the army and retake Western Liaoning, but Gao Jianwu, the lord of Pyongyang City, sent an urgent order. An Nanguo's 60,000 troops broke through the city with gunpowder and sharp weapons. In just two days, four cities were destroyed. The army is less than a hundred miles away from Pyongyang.

Yuan Gai Suwen can ignore the king's order and continue to lead people to hunt down, but he will definitely lose the hearts of the people and the domestic nobles, so he has to lead his troops back to the court to rescue Pyongyang.

So far, Wang Junlin's plan in advance to encircle Wei and save Zhao was calculated to be successful, at least allowing Yang Guang to lead the Sui army of one million troops to retreat safely, without repeating the tragedy of last year.

Just after Yuan Gai Suwen led the main force back to Pyongyang, An Nanguo Liu Yidong, Li Xuanba and others obeyed Fang Qiao's order and retreated ahead of schedule, sticking to the border with Goguryeo. Yuan Gai Suwen was furious , but there is no way.

…

…

When Yang Guang's will spread to Fanyang County, Wang Junlin had already led the army and traveled by sea from

The Yangtze River enters the sea and enters the inland.

In the Huainan section of the Grand Canal, there are more than 500 ships covering the sky and the sun, and their speed is much faster than ordinary ships. What they are afraid of is not the number of ships and the tens of thousands of troops on board. They have seen many officers and soldiers in the past two years, and it is not uncommon for them to face tens of thousands of officers and soldiers at one time. And the nine characters "Far East Marching Chief" on the back made all the rebels on both sides of the Grand Canal calm down as quickly as possible.

It has to be said that Wang Junlin's current prestige and infamous reputation are too strong for the name of a person, the shadow of a tree.

A goshawk circled over the fleet and flew straight down towards the ship in the middle. A big man in bright red clothes was guarding there early on, while feeding the goshawk that landed on his arm. While feeding the jerky, the hawk quickly took out a roll of paper from the thin copper tube on the goshawk's leg, and someone beside him took it, and ran to the bow of the ship.

"My lord, there is an urgent report from Luoyang." After reading it, Shen Guoer walked over quickly and presented it to Wang Junlin.

After Wang Junlin looked at it carefully, he frowned slightly.

I don't know if it was done on purpose, or if there is another mystery, Yang Su's way of using troops is extremely unreasonable.

After Yang Su's rebellion in Hongnong County, he first broke through Liyang City, gathered enough 80,000 troops to march westward to capture Hanoi, and the Hanoi defenders guarded for half a day before surrendering and opening the gate.

Then Yang Su did not stop, and led troops to attack Xiuwu. Xiuwu county magistrate Wang Xuanyi led the officials to open the door and surrender. Yang Su continued eastward and rushed to Jixian Ferry. Go west to Luoyang.

While walking, Yang Su forced the common people to join the army. When he arrived outside Luoyang City, the total number of soldiers and horses had reached 150,000.

At the same time, Yang Su ordered his fourth son, Yang Jishan, to lead 5,000 troops as the left army to march west along the Luoshui River from the south of Yanshi, and ordered his second son Yang Xuanzong to lead 5,000 elite troops as the right army to attack Luoyang in a detour from Bai Simaban across Mangshan Mountain. , I led my own troops as the rear army, and went around to meet them.

At this time, the prince Yang Hao who was staying in Luoyang was already panicked. Yang Xuanzong.
