Turbulent Times Chapter 685: Yang Guang who is so happy


It has been more than a month since Yang Guang ascended the throne, and Yang Su has discovered the differences between Yang Guang and Yang Jian, or some characteristics that impressed him deeply.

Generally speaking, Yang Jian is cautious in his actions under normal circumstances, and he is frugal by nature. This can be seen in the process of eliminating dissidents and rewarding meritorious officials.

Yang Su remembered that when he led troops to defeat 100,000 cavalry in the East and South Turks, Yang Jian only rewarded three hundred silver and three hundred bolts of silk and satin. But right now he led the army to quell the chaos in Bingzhou, and before he set off, Yang Guang had already rewarded himself five times, no less than ten thousand taels of gold and silver, and no less than ten thousand pieces of silk and satin.

Such extravagance, to put it nicely, is generous and courageous, but in fact it is no different from a prodigal. This means that the first emperor Yang Jian was frugal by nature and saved a lot of money. Otherwise, Yang Guang would not have so much money in the treasury if he wanted to spend a lot of money.

For another example, what Yang Guang said just now, to deal with a small Bingzhou rebellion, Yang Guang didn't know whether he was anxious to quell the Bingzhou rebellion and was busy with other things, or because of his habit and personality, he wanted to mobilize the entire country's lost troops ,

Don't he know how much property and food and grass it takes to mobilize the soldiers of the whole country, and how many people and civilians are recruited to transport food and grass? One battle is enough to exhaust Yang Jian's rich treasury. The cause of death is 30%, and the husbands are the pillars of each family. The adult men in the family die, and the farmland is not cultivated, and the women, children and children will become refugees and beggars.

Although Yang Su didn't have any compassion for the people, he still didn't want the Sui Dynasty to decline because of this. He sighed in his heart and said to himself: "Yang Guang is so good at doing things."

These thoughts flashed through his mind, Yang Su sighed secretly, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that soldiers are more about quality than numbers, Bingzhou rebelled, Yang Liang is dead, although Gao Ying Supporting Yang Liang's son to become King of Han, but the civil and military officials of Bingzhou knew that he was Gao Ying's puppet, and their loyalty to Gao Ying was limited. If you are sure, with the 100,000 troops in your hands, you can wipe out the Bingzhou Rebellion within a month at most."

Yang Guang knew that Yang Su never underestimated the enemy when using troops. Since he could say that, there was no problem.

At this time, Yang Guang remembered something again, and he laughed quickly: "I just received the news from Wang Junlin that Gao Ying vainly tried to collude with the Khitan Rilian Department to deal with my army. After Wang Junlin got the news, he led a thousand The cavalry attacked three army villages in Bingzhou and five tribes of the Rilian Department in three days, and successfully provoked a conflict between Bingzhou and the Khitan Rilian Department. Now in the Shanghe Valley, Bingzhou and the Rilian Department are fighting. This time, Wang Junlin lived up to my expectations, first he killed Yang Liang, and now he solved the problem of the Rilian Department, so I must reward him well."

When he said these words, Yang Guang kept staring at Yang Su, obviously wanting to see how Yang Su would react.

Yang Su said with a blank face: "Your Majesty is wise, rewarding those who have made merit is the foundation of our great Sui governance. Only in this way can Your Majesty use the world's talents for His Majesty."

"Yang Aiqing is right. I really should reward Wang Junlin." Yang Guang was a little disappointed. He originally wanted to see the angry or depressed side from Yang Su's face so that he could continue with the next temptations. Yang Su's city is so deep.

"If there is nothing else, the old minister will not disturb His Majesty's rest." Yang Su bowed to Yang Guang.

Yang Guang nodded and said: "Tomorrow Aiqing will go to war, and I will wait for Aiqing's success report."

On the day Yang Su led the army to go out, Wang Junlin handed over the remaining hundreds of cavalry to Luo Yi's control, and let them hide in this hidden valley on standby, as a surprise soldier, ready to be used at critical moments.

Wang Junlin, Nie Xiaoyu, Shen Guang, Six Swords Attendant, Spring and Autumn Old Slave, Xiao Feng'er, and Zheng Shengqiu, after redressing, discussing contact methods and goals, left the valley in batches and headed for Taiyuan City again.

Wang Junlin is very clear that even though history has changed because of his appearance, Bingzhou has been controlled by Gao Ying instead of Yang Liang, but Wang Junlin does not think that Gao Ying can change history and change the fate of Bingzhou. Because he could see very clearly that although Gao Ying knew how to appease the people and govern one side better than Yang Liang, he had a fatal weakness, that is, he came to Bingzhou for too short a time, and his control over the Bingzhou army was only superficial. This can be seen in the conflict with the Japanese company this time.

In addition, in Bingzhou, headed by Taiyuan Wang, the family leader, gentry, and landlords did not agree with Gao Ying, because although Gao Ying had a high reputation, he was not born well. If given a certain amount of time, Gao Ying might use some means to gradually control Bingzhou up and down, but Yang Guang obviously won't give him this time right now.

So, Wang Junlin's focus now is no longer how to deal with Gao Yingshang, but how to get the maximum benefit in the matter of suppressing the rebellion in Bingzhou. In addition, he knew very well that since Yang Su was still in command of the counter-insurgency army, Yang Su would definitely try to kill him at all costs.

Compared to Gao Ying who has no control over the Bingzhou army and is a civil servant, Wang Junlin never doubts Yang Su's control over the 100,000 troops Can't be exaggerated.

So, he can lead less than a thousand cavalry to make Gao Ying helpless, but he has no confidence that the same method will work for Yang Su.

Therefore, Wang Junlin intends to further turn from light to darkness, completely hiding in the dark, and wants not to be discovered by Yang Su. Hiding in a valley is safer than hiding in a densely populated city. The most important thing is that only in a city like Taiyuan can he have a chance to fight back against Yang Su, and it is not impossible to even find a chance to kill him.

When Wang Junlin and his party arrived at the pier, dozens of people, men, women and children, were already waiting to board the boat. Six Swords Attendants, Shen Guang and his party did not follow, but Spring and Autumn Old Slave, Xiao Fenger and Zheng Shengqiu followed them, and of course their appearances also underwent some changes.
