Chapter 315

(Seeing the urge to update votes and rewards in 18991899, I tried my best to update another chapter.)

Fight for profit in the market and fame in the court. It is also said that learning literature and martial arts and selling goods to the imperial family.

When he first came to this era, Yi Feng only wanted to settle down and had no lofty ideals and the goal of becoming a king and fighting for hegemony. Even after his marriage failed, he even voluntarily stayed to be a son-in-law after a conversation with Qianxue. At that time, he thought that with such a beautiful wife, his wife's family had a good family business, and there were no worries about her parents-in-law and brothers, it was also good to stay and live a small life. However, the situation changed later, and his ideas gradually changed. As the sub-saint Mencius said, "If you are poor, you will be good for yourself, and if you are prosperous, you will be good for the world."

If you live in the temple, you worry about the people; if you live in the world, you worry about the king. Many times, Yi Feng thinks that it may be an accident that he has come here, but should he be lost among the crowd and be a spectator? Can't he leave his own traces or bring changes to this era? If you live in the temple, you worry about the people. Now, Yi Feng by chance has become the King of Zhao of the Great Sui Dynasty, the chief supervisor of Youzhou, and an emerging force that this dynasty cannot be underestimated. Everything he did in Huaihuang has turned the long-abandoned wilderness into a paradise for the people to live in harmony with all ethnic groups. Can't he bring what he did in Huaihuang to more places?

Especially Yi Feng knew that under the prosperity of the flowers of the Great Sui Dynasty, there was another chaotic world not far away. In later generations, Yi Feng's influence could not even reach the entire area of ​​the community where he lived. However, in this world, his influence had already covered Huaihuang, and now it could affect half of Hebei. Give me a fulcrum and I could sled the entire earth. Now that God has given Yi Feng such an opportunity, can't he think about being good at the world?

Yi Feng turned his eyes to Yang Jian again. His loose skin and white hair all showed that this king who unified the world was old. Even the Queen Dugu next to him was very energetic, but still could not hide his old attitude. This couple who formed the Great Sui Empire and unified the world. Their era was about to end. "This is a couple worthy of admiration." Yi Feng thought to himself. Although as someone said on the Internet in later generations, if Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou Yuwen Yong did not die young, he would unify the whole world. Just like the Emperor Shizong of the Later Zhou Dynasty

If Rong had not died young, he would have unified the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, ended the long-term wars after the Tang Dynasty, and created a prosperous era again. But they died, but the world did not continue to be confused because of this, without Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou. The world had Emperor Wen of Sui, and unified the world as well. Without Emperor Shizong of Later Zhou, and with Emperor Taizu of Song, he would have created peace. If there was no Yang Jian and Zhao Kuangyin in history, there would have been other figures coming to unify the world. History is accidental and inevitable. Many times, those heroes are just driven by the times. It is the times that make heroes.

But even so, Yi Feng still admires Yang Jian in his heart. This old man who is a little cunning, a little cold and a little turned his hand to make clouds and rain has indeed unified the world and created a rare peaceful and prosperous era for hundreds of years. Even if he is old now, even if he is no longer as thrifty as before, he is still a commendable person. He will never deny everything he has done because of his unjust country or because he is becoming more suspicious.

His time is about to come to an end, and he should take over the baton from his hands and continue the prosperous era of the Great Sui Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the battle with the Turks is bound to be won. If the grassland is strong, it will invade the Central Plains. No matter what, we cannot allow the Hu people to develop and grow bigger. Otherwise, there will be the danger of the Five Barbarians turmoil in the late Jin Dynasty. The Five Barbarians turmoil in China brings eternal pain to the Han people in China. Tens of millions of people during the Han Dynasty. At the time of the Five Barbarians, there was only less than three million left in the north. If the Southern Dynasties were defeated in the Battle of Feishui, the Han people might have lost their country and destroyed their race. When Your Majesty established the country, he restored the surnames of the Han and Wei people and respected the etiquette of the Han and Wei people. All this was done very well. Not only did it benefit the present, but it would also benefit thousands of years. It would always be recorded in history and admired by later generations." Yi Feng said this.

It is flattering, but it is truly praising. Just like what the King of Wudao in the Sixteen Kingdoms did to Ran Min, no matter what his identity was, or what political purpose he finally issued the destruction of Hu Ling, what he did was indeed a contribution to the survival of the Han people, and this should not be forgotten and eliminated. Yang Jian was also a member of the Xianbei group and was also called Puliurujian, but after he finally became emperor, he restored the Chinese cultural etiquette system and restored the clothes of the Han people. That was a meritorious minister who revived China, and made China restore it, and it was no longer a two-legged sheep in the tragic period of the Five Barbarians.

Yi Feng is not a warlike and bloodthirsty person, but in this era, in order to survive, sometimes he must stand up and fight. The problem between the Han people in the Central Plains and the Hu people in the Grassland is a difficult problem. When the Han people are strong, they will inevitably suppress the Hu people, but when the Han people are weak, the Hu people will often take advantage of their power to rise up and invade the Central Plains, causing harm to the world. The contradiction between agricultural civilization and nomadic civilization is difficult to resolve in this era. Just like sheep eating grass and wolf eating meat.

Be prepared for danger in times of peace, forget to fight, be in danger. If you only care about the prosperity in front of you and just want to live a peaceful life, then people will have immediate worries without long-term plans. When the enemy hits the doorstep, you will be unable to resist.

"Emperor Wu of Han defeated the Huns for four hundred years. The Northern Wei defeated Rouran and was able to continue the world for 180 years. The Turks unified the grasslands and were the eternal enemy of the Han people. In any case, we must defeat the Turks. On this day, I have been preparing for eighteen years." Yang Jian sighed. He was still very clear and wise about the national strategy. If the Turks were not broken, the Sui Dynasty would not prosper. Over the years, the Sui Dynasty and the Turks fought countless battles, but it was only to weaken the ferocious wolf of the grassland. There must be this final battle between the Sui Dynasty and the Turks. If the real victory or defeat was decided, it would never be aborted. "Do you think we can win this battle?"

"Of course!" Yi Feng replied firmly.

"Are you so confident?" Yang Jian smiled happily. Although the war has been fully mobilized, until this time, Yang Jian's heart was still full of worries.

"Yes, this confidence comes from Your Majesty, Your Majesty's wiseness, and founded a prosperous era. The dynasty has been resting for twenty years. Now the army is strong and the people support it. How can the soldiers serve this battle? The Sui Dynasty has accumulated twenty years. The granaries are piled up in the world, and the country can even maintain food for forty or fifty years. The imperial court has strong armor and elite armor and excellent mounts. When fighting, it is the population, the food, and the weapons, armor, war horses, bows and arrows. It is the morale of the army and the command of the soldiers. No matter which one it is, our Great Sui Dynasty is superior to the Turks. What's more, this decisive battle was the first to be unable to bear it. We fight against the territory of the Great Sui Dynasty, and fight for our parents, brothers and sisters to defend our homes, how can we fail?"

Although Yi Feng talked about things about the general trend, the game between great powers and wars of strong people is no less than small conflicts. These wars often have decided a seven-point victory before going to war. The Great Sui and the Turks had not yet started a war, but the situation between the two sides was that the Great Sui had already won seven points. The Turks wanted to use barbaric combat tactics to reverse the overall strategic disadvantage. It was extremely difficult. Especially when Yang Jian, the emperor with a good vision, was in charge of command, for this battle, Yang Jian even forced the exchange of reserves that had already been put on the agenda. For this battle, he continued to make moves, stabilized the internal situation through powerful tricks, and focused on fighting this battle. The Great Sui Dynasty became stable, and it was even more difficult for the Turks to change the strategic situation this time.

"I have pulled the 100,000 troops who should have been transferred to the Eastern Route Army to the Central and Western Routes. Do you have any thoughts?"

Yi Feng shook his head. "Sun'er knows himself and knows how much he weighs. In terms of ability, he only brought the Wuzhou army to fight a few small-scale battles outside the border. If he really handed over 100,000 troops to me, plus the troops of the eastern government and the mobilization of more than 100,000 troops to me, I am afraid that it will delay the major affairs of the court. In addition, from the overall strategic situation, Sun'er also feels that the three armies established by the court are actually three major war zones. In this whole game, the West Road and the Middle Road are the real focus, and even the Hetao direction of the Western Road Army's surprise army, Lingzhou Road, will also

Far beyond the Youyan direction. The soldiers and horses on the west route were facing the main cavalry of the Western Turks of Datou Khan, while the Central Army of King Jin faced the army of Dulan Khan on the Qiantao Plain. In addition, the Western Army also undertakes the security tasks of the capital, and the Central Army is responsible for the most important goal of this battle. After defending against the Eastern Turks of Dulan, it will counterattack into the Eastern Turks of the Qiantao Plain, and completely drive the Eastern Turks out of the south of Yinshan and out of the southern desert area. The Eastern Army, Sanfan on the northern foot of the Yanshan Mountain, has already been attached, so there will be basically no impact. Transferring precious troops to the West and Middle Roads is the right call and arranged."

"Do you think the Turks will not attack Youyan?" Yang Jian asked.

"Although the direction of Youyan is also a breakthrough for invading the Central Plains, once the defense of Taihang Yanshan Mountain is broken through, the Turks can move south along the Hebei Plain. In history, the Hu people in the north have also made breakthroughs in this direction many times. However, the Turks do not have this opportunity at present. Xi, Khitan and Wu are already standing on the side of the court. Their existence has protected the northern foot of Yanshan Mountain for the imperial guards of the court. It also cuts off the possibility of the Turks going east to the west of Liao and breaking into the northeast. The Wugui Prefectures established by the court in the northwest of Youzhou completely control Taihang and Yin

The mountain and Yanshan Mountain are closely guarded by this mountain pass. If the Hu people want to break through the Great Wall on the Daning line and break into Hebei from the northwest, they must break through the three major defensive guard groups of Huaihuang, Daning and Junduguan, and eventually have to break through Youzhou, the Turks will not be able to break into Hebei. Even if they break through the three passes and break into Youzhou, if they cannot capture Youzhou’s important town, they cannot go south with confidence. If they want to take down Huaihuang, Daning, Junduguan and Youzhou, I think the Turks do not have the ability to do this."

Yi Feng was quite confident in his Wuzhou army. What's more, the defensive group composed of more than a dozen military towns in Huaihuang and hundreds of forts was just the first line of defense. If the Turks were powerful, Yi Feng could retreat slowly, fight and retreat, borrow time and space to exchange for fighters. At worst, he would give up the defense of the area on the frontier outside the Great Wall with relatively weak terrain, retreat to the Great Wall, and use the more dangerous passes and the Great Wall to fight against the Turks. The Turks were flat outside the Great Wall.

The Tan Grassland is naturally powerful, but it is not their leader to let them come to the pass to attack the city. What's more, although Yang Jian transferred 100,000 troops from the East Road, the general manager's military towns under the East Road still had tens of thousands of troops. With Yi Feng's Wuzhou army and Sanfan Hu soldiers, it's no problem to gather around 100,000 yuan. As long as these soldiers are not taken out to fight against the Turkic plain cavalry, they are placed on the solid castle walls, which can resist several times the enemy.

"We must also be guarded against the Goguryeo people." Empress Dugu, who had not spoken, interjected. This year, the Sui Dynasty sent troops to conquer Goguryeo, which was actually to prepare for this war against the Turks. In order to prevent the Goguryeo people from taking advantage of the decisive battle with the Turks, the Goguryeo people took advantage of the decisive battle, joined forces with the Turks, and joined forces to join the war to send troops. That is why Yang Jian launched the Eastern Expedition without sufficient preparation, but returned unexpectedly with a great defeat. Originally, if he had won the Eastern Expedition, there was no need to worry about the Goguryeo people this time. But now, the 300,000 troops of the imperial court were not in Liaodong, and the imperial court had to understand the fact that the Goguryeo people were likely to participate in this battle and send troops behind the scenes.

Yi Feng's Eastern Army had an important task, which was to prevent the Goguryeo people. Once the Goguryeo people really sent troops, they had to be blocked by the Liao River, and they could not be allowed to meet with the Turks, let alone break into the Sui territory, and let them break into the Hebei Plain. The Goguryeo people must be guarded against. When they fought against the Turks in the third year of Kaihuang, the Goguryeo people attacked Youzhou in the form of mercenaries of the last prime minister of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Gao Baoning, and cooperated with the Turks' other troops and horses that entered the Sui territory, and responded from afar.

"Sun'er thought that although the expedition failed in the east, Gao Yuan, the King of Goguryeo, was not unaffected. The 300,000 army of troops in the east failed, but they were not defeated by the Goguryeo people, because of the epidemic and insufficient preparation. This was also the reason why Gao Yuan submitted a letter to surrender and punished him last year. This time the court fought against the Turks. Sun'er thought that Gao Yuan would not dare to easily decide to send troops to unite the Turks. And even if they really dared to send troops, the court has now subdued Xi, Wu and Khitan three bands, just like a high mountain blocking Goguryeo's westward path to the prairie and Turks. If Goguryeo did not go to the grassland to join the Turks, but wanted to invade western Liaoxi alone and attack Pingzhou, then they would be seeking death. It is not fearful at all. With a grandson in Youzhou, they would definitely be called for no return." Yi

Feng said confidently that this was not only because he remembered that the Goguryeo people did not participate in this battle between the Sui Dynasty and the Turks in history, but also because he did not look at the Goguryeo people very much. Even in history, the Sui Dynasty had failed to conquer Goguryeo, and the Li Tang Dynasty had two generations of emperors for decades of conquest, and even joined forces with Silla, and finally destroyed Goguryeo. But that was more because of the expedition to Goguryeo. Goguryeo people fought at home, relying on a long distance, bad weather, dangerous mountain cities, and vast sea, and finally resisted tenaciously for so long. But if the Goguryeo people turned to defense and attacked the Central Plains, all their advantages would be gone, and the disadvantages that restricted the soldiers of the Sui and Tang dynasties at that time would also become the difficulties that Goguryeo people had to face.

Therefore, Yi Feng dared to slap his chest at Yang Jian. It would be better for Goguryeo people than for him. If he dared to come, he would definitely ask them to come and go without returning. He would kill them all without leaving any armor.

"Okay, I believe you." Yang Jian couldn't help but be excited when he saw Yi Feng so confident and applauded Yi Feng. Of course, he did not believe Yi Feng for no reason, just like when King Yang Liang of Han asked to take charge of the Eastern Expedition, he also confidently said that he would break through Pyongyang and capture Gao Yuan and come back to offer prisoners. However, Yang Jian chose to believe Yi Feng because he had fought with Tieler people several times, but all of them were successful as support.

"I feel much more relaxed now. I will leave Youyan to you, and I will be worryless." Yang Jian smiled and stroked his beard. (To be continued)
