"Water is actually the leader of the countries of the Oriental Islands, and the numerous countries on the archipelago are actually the relationship between various clans and small countries. You can treat it as the relationship between Ji Zhou and the vassal states."

"For example, Hakata on the Zida Island is located in the territory of the Zhushi Kingdom, or the Zhushi Kingdom. Zhushi Kingdom is actually the territory of local tyrants, but it also regards the Japanese court as the official, which is considered the territory of Japan."

"The Japanese imperial court sent officials and troops to Hakata. On the island of Zhuzida, in addition to Zhuzida, there are Fengguo, Feiguo, etc., which are said to be countries, but they are actually local tyrants."

"So, the situation in Japan is a bit complicated, but one thing is certain, that is, if something happens to Baekje, Japan will never sit idly by."

In the study, Yuwen Wen was explaining the relevant knowledge of Japan to his son Yuwen Weihan, but the cause of the incident was that Goguryeo's troops invaded western Liaoning.

At the end of January and early February, the King of Goguryeo personally led the elite troops to mobilize and gathered some miscellaneous soldiers of the Marine tribe, claiming to be 100,000, to attack the important town of Liaoxi in Zhou State, the Zhengliucheng of Yingzhou Prefecture.

The Goguryeo Army was coming in full force and swept across western Liaoning, but was repelled by Wei, the general manager of Yingzhou. Seeing that Gao Yuan could not take advantage, he returned to the east. The news spread to Chang'an, causing considerable uproar.

The court officials were excited and felt that Goguryeo's small country dared to invade. Even though the dynasty did not suffer much loss, the other party's behavior was simply "unbearable". If there was no punishment, where would the face of the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Empire be put?

The generals asked for battle and demanded to lead troops to go to war, teach Goguryeo a lesson, and conquered Liaodong to show punishment.

For Yuwen Wen, the invasion of Goguryeo was like he was swaying on the street with his younger brother, and suddenly a thug threw a splash of shit at him. Although he didn't hit him, this behavior was a serious provocation.

Goguryeo must be punished, which is a consensus between the government and the opposition. Of course, Yuwen Wen had to take advantage of the issue, but he did not intend to do his best because the time was not right.

The military strategy says: The master should not provoke anger and fight with anger.

As the monarch, Yuwen Wen felt that this passage made sense. Of course he had to fight Goguryeo, but he would never be led by the other party. Everything had to follow his rhythm.

There must be an explanation for Goguryeo's invasion. Yuwen Wen decided to send his eldest son Yuwen Weihan to western Liaoning. His position was "Admiral's Congratulations to the Army". His responsibilities were very simple, which was to inspect the garrison, inspect military discipline, and then reward the army.

Yuwen Weihan went to Yingzhou to express his gifts to the soldiers of Yingzhou, and was cheering up, hunting, holding a barbecue conference, etc.

After walking around Yingzhou, I went to Qingzhou, blew the sea breeze, ate seafood, and experienced the sailing. When winter began, I went back home and returned to Chang'an for the New Year.

As for Goguryeo, the battle to destroy the country was not ready yet, Yuwen Wen had to follow his own steps to deal with the other party, but he did not intend to let the other party go.

This year, let the Maritime Trade Company and Beiyang Trading Company "train" Goguryeo.

Yuwen Wen should repay the other party’s “greatness of a drop of water”.

"You have to remember that this time, it is just about watching the military appearance. This is the case in Yingzhou and Qingzhou. If the weather is good, and when it comes to Danluo, you must abide by your duties. If you dare to do anything randomly, my father will send you to Nanzhong next year!"

Faced with his father's "intimidation", Yuwen Weihan honestly said: "Father, the child should abide by his duties..."

Yuwen Wen was very satisfied with his son's attitude and continued to the topic: "Just talk about Japan and Baekje, do you understand the tricky situation in the East China Sea?"

"The child understands that if he destroys Goguryeo, he will be unable to hurry, otherwise the mantis will stalk the cicada and the oriole will be behind him. Not only will he consume money and food, but he will also make wedding dresses for others."

As he was talking, Yuwen Weihan asked a question: "Father, the Beiyang Trading Company not only trades with Japan, but also teaches Japanese farming techniques and sells a large number of iron farm tools. This... Isn't this a problem with raising tigers?"

Yuwen Wen took a sip of tea when he heard this and asked, "Why, the Political Affairs Hall has started arguing about this matter again today?"

"Yes father."

Although Yuwen Weihan is not yet twenty years old, he is no longer an ignorant boy. Today he was listening to the Political Affairs Hall and heard the senior officials argue endlessly over the matter of the East China Sea, and he was so eye-opening.

It was the first time he had experienced such a fierce argument... and when he saw the quotations of scriptures and long-term discussions, Yuwen Weihan felt that he had read too little and could not understand what kind of scripture he used.

"You don't understand this kind of thing yet." Yuwen Wen smiled, "Everything has its pros and cons. The final result depends on how the person who does things grasps it. You can't have both fish and bear's paws, as long as the benefits outweigh the disadvantages."

Seeing that his son couldn't understand, Yuwen Wen didn't plan to say more because it was unnecessary.

He has to eat in one bite. In the future, what he has to do now is to cultivate his sons so that they can take on the responsibility as soon as possible.

"You have been away for half a year. You have to take care of yourself. After all, Ye Niang cannot be by your side to remind you."

"You should make good use of the assistant officers and don't do everything by yourself. You can't be busy with one person. Listen to the opinions of the assistant officers more, but if you have too many opinions, you can easily get confused. Remember one thing, that is, no matter how bad the choice is, it is better than not having a choice!"

"My father asked you to lead troops to travel, not to let you go to war, but you should treat it as a war, marching, and camping. You should practice more, contact the soldiers more, and listen to their voices."

"If you want to gallop on the battlefield, you will know the soldiers. Don't think that you are a famous general if you play war games well. With such a mentality, something will inevitably happen."

"If you only know how to talk about war on paper, going to the battlefield will be a gift to others!"

Yuwen Wen was nagging and kept explaining his son various precautions. This time he asked Yuwen Weihan to go out to receive exercise, rather than letting his son eat, drink, whore and gambling all the way.

His son cannot become a waste who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun.

The eldest son Yuwen Weicheng is the prince and needs to be trained. Yuwen Wen believes that the other sons also need to be trained. Whether the brothers will be in conflict in the future, at least they must become successful. If they are raised as pigs, they may be killed as pigs in the future.

There are many ways to exercise. According to convention, it is normal for princes to leave the town, but Yuwen Wen feels that their sons are still young and have poor self-control. It is easy for them to "let themselves" when they leave the town, so he has to change his way to train his son.

Let the sons take envoys from time to time, go to other places to "go on business trips", see the sufferings of the people, see the customs of various places, know that people's livelihood is not easy, and know how clerks deceive superiors and subordinates.

After a few months of "business trip", I still live in Chang'an. After a while, I continue to "business trip" and continue to gain knowledge and receive exercise.

You will not change your mentality because you are away from the capital and your parents for a long time, nor will you become a low-minded person who "why not eat meat" because you live in the capital for a long time.

This is the solution that Yuwen Wen came up with, and it is both right.

He transferred 2,000 cavalry to follow Yuwen Weihan. With the assistant officer, the team was large. He went from Chang'an to Yingzhou for more than 2,000 miles. He followed the requirements of "combat status" along the way. He did not enter the city or stay in the inn, and had to camp himself.

Even if you are right next to the city or the inn, you still have to set up camp.

Unless it encounters irresistible factors such as heavy rain, floods, earthquakes, and diseases, the average daily marching distance shall not be less than 100 miles, and it must arrive in Liucheng, Yingzhou within a limited date.

In order to train his son, Yuwen Wen set up the position of "Seeing Military Appearance and Promotion Envoy", which was first of all the eunuchs in history. As a military supervisor, he monitored the troops of various departments. Yuwen Wen asked his son to be the Seeing Military Appearance Envoy, purely for his son to "go on a business trip".

"You have to remember that along the way, pay more attention to the situation of mountains, rivers and rivers, and don't just rush to the road. After you come back, your father will have to assign homework."

Yuwen Weihan looked bitter as he listened: "Father, the child is afraid that he will not remember the situation along the way..."

"A good memory is not as good as a bad pen." Yuwen Wen said and knocked on the desk, "It's not that you ask yourself to take a pen to record it yourself, otherwise what does the assistant officer use to do?"

Seeing his son's expectant expression, Yuwen Wen thought for a while and did not forget to explain: "Remember to say goodbye to your mother, aunt, and say to your younger brother and sister."

"Uh...father, what's the use of talking to his younger siblings?"

Yuwen Weihan was a little confused. Yuwen Wen then glared at his son: "You brothers are traveling far away, so you must not bring gifts to your younger brothers and sisters? Ask them what gifts they want."

"Then... the child is short of money and is afraid he can't afford many gifts..."

"Buy? Who said you would bring money to buy gifts?"

Yuwen Weihan was shocked when he heard this and stuttered a little: "Father...father! Do you want to... use robbery?"

"Snatch your head! Wouldn't you bring some Guanzhong specialties to resell them along the way?" Yuwen Wen said as he became interested. "Along the way, reselling specialties from various places, gradually, the money will increase? By the way, you can also understand the local prices, both."
