For the Great Sui Dynasty, there was never a shortage of brave and good at fighting.

It can even be said that although the Sui Dynasty did not last long, its famous generals emerged in many places. Not to mention the four famous founding generals Yang Sushi, who are familiar to the world, Han Qinhu He Ruobi, and many other great generals who are equally brave.

For example, Da Xi Changru, who fought for 2,000,000, such as He Lou Zigan, who was in the border area of ​​Weizhen, Changsun Sheng, who killed two birds with one stone, Luo Yi, who was outside the Weiwei Pass, and Yu Juluo and Tu Wanxu in front of him.

The reason for this result is actually not complicated. First of all, the Sui Dynasty was not long ago. Before the Sui Dynasty, there were even more melee between the north and the south, and wars were endless. The predecessor of the Sui Dynasty, the Northern Zhou and Western Wei, fought for decades of war. The Western Wei Dynasty began to implement the ruling idea of ​​military and political integration, and the Guanlong nobles formed a military aristocratic group.

These nobles practice riding and shooting since childhood, and start to fight at a young age. After decades, as long as they are not dead, they can always find a few famous generals in a hundred battles.

It can be said that this is a product of the times. In the era of Song and Ming dynasties, which emphasized literature and suppressed martial arts, it would be difficult to have such a spectacular scene of gathering stars.

These famous generals of the Sui Dynasty were rarely born, and they were basically famous generals who were trained in small numbers and then fought for the rest of their lives. They were like Yu Juluo, a general's son, entered the palace as a guard at the age of teenagers, and started to go to the front line to fight at the age of 20. Then they fought countless battles in their lives. In the end, they were in power in Fengzhou, making the Turks dare not go south to herd their horses.

Tu Wanxu is almost the same. The general's son was already the county duke at his twenties. He fought countless battles in his life and finally became the general of the twelve guards.

The two veterans fought for their lives and were well-known.

However, Yu Juluo was not allowed to use it because his eyes were full of the emperor's taboos, so he was not allowed to use it. Tu Wanxu was treated coldly because he did not understand the emperor's intention to kill He Ruobi.

This time, the emperor used the two of them, which was a chance for them.

Qi Biao and Li Bao were once the lieutenant under Yuguluo Fengzhou. They were implicated and demoted to Qi County a few years ago. Unexpectedly, they were also a blessing in disguise. In recent years, with Luo Cheng's war, they have been promoted step by step. Now both of them are the rank of Huya Lang.

"I didn't expect that the general will go south this time." Qi Biao was still very respectful when he saw Yu Juluo.

"This time I am just the deputy general of the rebels who went south to suppress the rebels, but I can't be called the commander. There is only one commander of our rebels, and that is the Duke of Chu."

In front of Luo Cheng, who was only his grandchildren, Yu Juluo did not put on any old qualifications. After all, he had been on the bench for several years, and the temper of this star was suppressed a lot.

The other side nodded, "Yes, we two old guys are just here to fight."

The two deputy generals were placed in a low posture, which made people feel uncomfortable.

"I wonder how the general plans to quell the rebellion?" Yu Juluo asked.

"Get straight to the thief's cave, capture the king first!" Luo Cheng's answer was decisive, although the information showed that the rebels are now extremely powerful in the Three Wus, and in just a short time, they have captured seven counties.

But Luo Cheng believes that this is just some illusion.

No matter how strong the rebels are, they are only two or three months old, so how strong can they be?

The land in Jiangnan was not originally a place where the Great Sui government troops focused on defending. During the two eastern expeditions, many of the government troops were summoned to abandon them, which gave the rebels an opportunity to take advantage of them.

But when Luo Cheng led more than 20,000 most elite troops to the south, they would melt away.

"The water town in the south of the Yangtze River has a wide network of water. Many soldiers from the north are used to riding horses but not boats. You may have to be careful." Tu Wanxu reminded.

"General Tu Wan is right, but the rebels are not fighting guerrillas with us. They are now based on counties and counties to be called the court. So we first break the city of Wujun with thunder, capture and kill Liu Yuanjin, and then recruit local government soldiers and county warriors to encircle and suppress the remaining rebels."

Luo Cheng was once a marshal of the navy, but he had many soldiers from Jiangnan who were once under his command.

Going to the expedition.

The emperor sent envoys to reward the soldiers and horses, including wine, meat, a new dress, and a string of copper coins. It can be said that the good treatment of the Left Five Army made Xiaoguo Army envious.

When going to war.

As the Minister of War Luo Yi came to see him off on behalf of the emperor, and Luo Siye also came.

"I thought I could go to Liaodong after drinking your wedding, but unexpectedly, I had to go to Jiangnan first. I guess it would not be enough for your August wedding. I have nothing to congratulate you. I will give you a thousand acres of fertile land near Luoyang, plus three thousand guan. Although you are a princess, you have to have some industries in your hands. You can't find money to spend money everywhere in the future, right?"

Siye smiled and punched Luo Cheng, "I don't lack money to spend."

"If you want to take a concubine in the future, it will be more convenient. By the way, you should stay in Beijing in the future and be careful, especially when you are careful of the Yuwen family, this old dog is a poisonous snake."

"Don't worry, with you here, the old dog dares not touch me easily."

"Make more friends! There are multiple friends and multiple roads, it's absolutely right." Luo Cheng smiled.

Luo Yi came over there to see him off.

"Originally, you are going to Liaodong to take office, and I have left my five thousand Yanyun Iron Cavalry to you."

Luo Yi became the prime minister in the court, and even the thousands of iron cavalry he had worked hard for more than ten years could not take away, so he left it to Luo Cheng.

"It's okay. When Jiangnan has finished quelling the rebellion, I will definitely go to Liaodong. They will be under my command at that time."

Luo Yi said, "This time I asked you to go to Jiangnan to quell the chaos. I guess I want to make a trip to you. You have to be careful, after all, Jiangnan has different geography."

"Don't worry, it's impossible for a boat to capsize in the gutter."

Twenty-five thousand men boarded the boat and headed east.

It is also very convenient to get from Luoyang to Jiangnan to the Grand Canal opened by Yangguang.

However, the canal was not originally created by Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. It began to dig canals as early as the pre-Qin period, and even were everywhere.

When Qin Shihuang was expeditioning Nanyue, he took the road from Hunan to Guilin and crossed Lingnan. There was also Xiangjiang River to transport materials in Hunan, but there was no waterway to enter Guilin. He had to cross mountains and ridges, and the material transportation was extremely inconvenient. Because the material was not transported, Qin's expedition to Nanyue had been unsuccessful at the beginning.

Later, the Qin Dynasty dug a canal of one or two hundred miles to connect the Xiangjiang River and Lijiang River, which is the Lingqu Canal. The Lingqu Canal is connected and Baiyue is flat.

Even the capital of Lingnan built canals, not to mention the Central Plains, from Guanzhong to Lingnan to the west, and from Lingnan to the north to the North China Plain, there are artificial canals, which are connected to natural rivers.

The canals of the Sui Dynasty were just a little larger in scale and more complete connections.

Especially the two canals in the north and south were dug, and they could be connected to the center of Luoyang, the world, making the Great Sui Empire, such as the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, the Huai River, the Ji River, and the Han River in the east and west, while the Grand Canal was also connected to the north and south.

Except for a few sections of the Sui River, most of the other rivers were actually connected by using millions of people to dredge the rivers left by many dynasties before.

This is the highway of the Sui Dynasty, with a wave of thousands of miles. Although there are gates between the canals and sometimes boat transfers are required, it still greatly reduces the time on the road, increases transportation capacity, and reduces road fatigue.

At the end of July, Luo Cheng had arrived in Yangzhou in Huainan, which was called Jiangdu County at this time. From the south bank of the Huai River to the north bank of the Yangtze River, the vast land on both sides of the Jiangou Canal belongs to Jiangdu County.

This is also the place where Yang Guang stayed the longest before he fought for the throne. He was in Yangzhou for many years, so Jiangdu was also the emperor's favorite place except Luoyang.

Here, there are many palaces, including Jiangdu Palace, and there are still heavy troops stationed there. Although Jiangdu County has not been promoted to Nanjing, its prefect is on par with Jingzhao Yin and Henan Yin.
