Section 226 East Expedition(2/2)
The ministers nodded and agreed, and even Yuwen Shu did not object.
Xiao Buyi thought to himself that these vocal insects. Have you discussed with Yang Guang how to deal with me? I have been successful in my career recently and I can't stop it even if Taipingdao wants to. Should I be promoted to my official position again?
Yang Guang nodded, "Since that's the case, let's put this matter aside. Don't mention it again. Let's discuss Mrs. Chen's return to Yang now. [Recommended by netizens]"
Xiao Buyi was stunned. Yang Guang looked over again and hesitated: "Xiao Aiqing, you did a good job in Yangzhou last time. I originally intended to let you do it again, but it was a pity that I had to find someone and then forget it, but this time I couldn't go."
"I can't share my worries with the emperor, I am really frightened." Xiao Buyi breathed a sigh of relief in secret.
"Yuwen Aiqing, I wonder if Taoist Master Huan and Taoist Master Xu have found a suitable candidate?" Yang Guang said with enthusiasm.
"Return to the Lord of the Lord, they are trying their best to find it. I think there will be good news for the Lord of the Lord soon."
Yang Guang murmured to himself: "Xuanhua asked me to think about my people. I must not give up on myself. I must do my best to make some achievements so that she will not be disappointed when she comes back."
The ministers were all terrified and thought to themselves, would they want to conquer Goryeo again?
Yang Guang said, "It's just Xuanhua told me not to conquer Goryeo, but I have to let go of this Goryeo thing."
This time, even Xiao Buyi breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew that the Sui Dynasty was full of troubles and storms, he might not have a war, which was still a blessing for the people.
"By the way, now the Central Plains bandits are rampant, I want to quell the civil strife first. When Xuanhua turns around, he can take her around the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Great Sui Dynasty." Yang Guang still made the decision by himself, and he had already made the decision.
Although the ministers always say that the emperor is wise, it is the first time that Yang Guang is truly smart.
Yang Guang had made up his mind and waved: "Sunayan, what are you doing at the end? How many bandits are there in the Central Plains?"
Su Wei stepped forward tremblingly and said for a while: "Returning to the emperor, even if he conquers Liao, there is no need to send troops. As long as he pardons the bandits in the world, I think he can get hundreds of thousands of people and send them to the Eastern Expedition. I believe Goryeo will be destroyed."
Yang Guang frowned and said, "What you mean is that there are hundreds of thousands of bandits in this world?"
Su Wei bowed his head and said, "The Lord is aware of it."
Yang Guang frowned, feeling very unhappy, thinking that Liaodong only has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and I can't even attack it even if I send a million people. If there are really hundreds of thousands of bandits, the elite soldiers of the Sui Dynasty are not enough to conquer. How could he explain to Xuan Hua? This old guy is exaggerating.
Yuwen Shu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Su Na's words are a bit exaggerated, but it is an indisputable fact that bandits are rampant after all. [Recommended by netizens] It's just that although there are many bandits, the Lord Majesty will send elite troops to conquer, and there is absolutely no reason for failure."
Yang Guang was in a slightly better mood and thought to himself that the same thing was still what Yuwen Shu said, "Where are the most bandits in the Central Plains now? Why not put a few places first? When Xuanhua comes back, can I make her happy?"
Yuwen Shu has been following Yang Guang, thinking about the holy intention, but he doesn't care about the world. Nodou can't say anything. Pei Yun stepped forward and said, "Return to the emperor, most of the thieves are Shandong, Henan, Hebei, Shanxi and Jianghuai areas."
When Yang Guang heard him say the scope, he thought to himself that this was not the whole world of bandits. My country was not waiting for the old family to attack, and I was afraid that the bandits would overthrow me. He felt a little anxious.
He was actually not stupid at all, but he was just persistent. He had always thought about conquering Goryeo before, but he failed to do so, and was depressed and unwilling to do the government. But he thought that Mu Lezi had no future after all, and he didn't care about Mu Lezi's rebellion. At this time last year, the conquering bandits still won successive successes. Zhang Xutuo, Wang Shichong, Pei Renji and Yang Yichen all had good news. Why are there more and more conquering now?
Pei Yun was displeased when he saw Yang Guang. He immediately changed his words, "But the emperor, although there are many thieves, they are just a group of mobs. Now that Li Jing is in charge of Mayi, he becomes famous in one battle. Turkic soldiers dare not go south. Liaodong is also tired of people's livelihood and incapable of invading the south. In addition, Xue Shixiong, the general of the Right Guard, led elite troops to guard Zhuo County, Liaodong is not afraid of external troubles. Now, as long as you can send elite troops to attack the bandits, you will surely be able to be eliminated in about half a year."
Yang Guanglongyan was very happy and nodded repeatedly, "Censor Pei said it well, I wonder if there are any other good strategies?"
Pei Yun was confident and said respectfully: "I dare not say that it is a good strategy when I return to the emperor, but it is based on what I saw. Li Shanxi, Hebei, was defeated and his vitality was severely damaged. It is difficult to achieve success in the short term. With Li Yuan and Li Jing in charge, some bandits will definitely not be able to be in a state of chaos. Here, Li Yuan can temporarily try his best to suppress the bandits. The amount can be pacified. Although General Zhang is extremely brave and wins every battle, he can never completely eliminate the bandits in the Central Plains. Just because his subordinates are limited, and he will be in command of the twelve counties in Henan Province, it is inevitable that he will lose sight of one thing. If he is in the foolish opinion, he can send a good general to assist General Zhang. If the united front is good, the Central Plains can be determined."
Yang Guangda was interested, "So what?"
"Now there are only a few places for bandits gathering, including Zhai Rang of Wagang, Dou Jiande of Shandong, Wang Bo, Zuo Xiaoyou. Lu Mingyue's gang remnants at the junction of Jianghuai, Shandong, and Du Fuwei and Li Zitong. [Recommended by netizens] If the emperor sent a good general to assist General Zhang, he ordered General Zhang and his good general to attack Wagang from front and back, eliminate Wagang with thunder, and remove the major troubles in his heart. With the force of joint efforts, Wagang could not stop a blow, and once Wagang was destroyed, General Zhang had no worries. He could rush his troops eastward and attack Dou Jiande, Wang Bo and others to pacify Shandong in one fell swoop. However, the good generals could divide their troops south to assist Yang Taipu to wipe out the thief north of Lu Mingyue and the thieves north of Jianghuai. In this way, in the Central Plains, Yang Taipu and the good generals rushed south to merge with Wang Shichong, sweep the south of the Jianghuai, pacify the enemy, destroy the rotten and dry, how can the thieves be?"
Pei Yun made a generous speech and spitted everywhere. Although he was in a position of saying good news but not bad news, the ministers all thought it made sense.
When he heard that he had been talking about something good general, his eyes couldn't help but look at Xiao Buyi.
Yang Guang indeed asked: "The Pei Qing family said that the plan is great, but I don't know where the good generals came out?"
Yang Guang couldn't help but look at Xiao Buyi, thinking that in recent years, many veterans died. Lai Hu'er and Yuwen Shu were both generals of the Wei Mansion, but they were also seventy-eighty-year-old ministers, and all the ministers were white-haired and white-haired. The subordinates were really in a state of being in a state of disagreement. If they sent troops again, they would be Xiao Buyi.
He suddenly trusted Xiao Buyi, not because he made great achievements in military affairs, nor because he saved his life twice, but because Chen Xuanhua said before his death that Xiao Buyi was also for his own good.
Yang Guang has been thinking about every word Chen Xuanhua said before his death for months.
In the past few months, Chen Xuanhua has really been a happy time that even he has become an emperor.
But life is short, happiness never lasts. I thought Chen Xuanhua could still return the sun, but Yang Guang really wanted to do something big for his lover to see.
"I report to the Master, I think what Censor Pei said makes sense. This position of good general is General Xiao." It was not Pei Yun who replied, but Yuwen Shu.
Xiao Buyi said modestly: "General Yuwen is really loving, but I feel that General Yuwen is still stronger and can win this position."
Yuwen Shu laughed loudly, "General Xiao, don't refuse. I'm old and I'm fine. I'm not as good as General Xiao. Although General Xiao's command of the army is short, he can defeat thousands of soldiers and fly 100,000 bandits in Lishan. In this battle, he can run with General Zhang."
Yang Guang nodded and said, "Yuwen Aiqing's words are reasonable, General Xiao obeys the order. [Recommended by netizens]"
Xiao Buyi could only politely say, "I am here."
He was still unsure of leading troops to fight. Although he defeated Li Shanfei last time, it was Li Jing's credit. But this time Li Jing was far away in Mayi and could not leave. With his half-baked leadership level, he was really unpredictable.
He had a future general named Xu Shiji, but that guy was from Wagang. He heard from the bearded guest that Zhai Rang was very kind to him and took Xu Shiji to fight Wagang, but he was afraid that he would sell himself first.
When he was nervous, Yang Guang had issued an order: "I ordered General Xiao to lead the Guard Office 20,000 elite troops, and work with General Zhang to eliminate Wagang first and then make other discussions."
Xiao Buyi said with a bitter face: "I obey the order."
When Yang Guang saw Xiao Buyi frowning, he also frowned, "General Xiao. What's the difficulty for you?"
Xiao Buyi finally asked, "Master, can you not go?"
"No." Yang Guang flatly refused.
The ministers were all surprised, and Yuwen Shu had a strange smile. Yang Guang might feel his tone a little heavier and sighed and said, "General Xiao, I know you are traveling around. I am very tired, but this Eastern Expedition, General Xiao is the best candidate. I hope General Xiao will not refuse. If General Xiao has any difficulties or wants to ask for anything, I will definitely let the Ministry of War prepare for you."
The ministers were so shocked that Yang Guang said this with a plea, which was the first time he had said that Yang Guang was asking for something.
Xiao Buyi was unmoved and thought that Yang Guang was good to him, but because of Chen Xuanhua's geography. But he no longer believed that Yuwen Shu could create a second Chen Xuanhua. Yang Guang was not allowed to spend a few days, but Yang Guang was probably the same and was capricious again. The Eastern Expedition was actually not bad. He commanded 20,000 elite soldiers, but the old thief Yuwen could stumbling again, but his brothers could fight. The command of the troops was still not as good as himself, and the bearded guest was not there. Xu Shiji might not be able to use it, and Sun Shaofang was not as good as himself. After thinking about it, there was really no one around him who could help him.
Hearing Yang Guang’s remarks about the affairs of the Ministry of War, Xiao Buyi suddenly had an idea and shouted loudly: “The emperor has an order. I should obey it, but I asked the Ministry of War to transfer someone to assist the minister in the conquest.”
"speak."
"Master Li Jing is definitely unable to be transferred here." Yuwen Shu said in a hurry.
Yang Guang pondered for a moment, "General Xiao, Li Jing guarded the border, and the Turkic soldiers did not dare to go south because of his contribution. If they wanted to call him, then let's not talk. But except for Li Jing, others can consider it."
Xiao Buyi knew that Yuwen Shu was still making trouble in secret and smiled and said, "The person I asked for is called Yuchi Gong!"
"Yuchi Gong?" Yang Guang frowned and said, "Who is this? Why haven't I heard of it?"
The ministers looked at each other, and Pei Yun continued: "Return to the emperor, Yuchi Gong has just joined the army, but he is brave in fighting. Now he is under General Xue, who is still in Zhuo County, and is a famous general."
Yuwen Shu had never heard of this person, and was still wondering which one it was. Yang Guang had waved his hand and said, "Since General Xiao asked for the transfer, he should be trying his best to satisfy him. Where is Secretary Wei?"
Wei Wensheng, Minister of War, stepped forward and said, "I am here."
Yang Guang immediately issued an order, "Secretary of Wei, I ordered you to use 800 miles to quickly transfer Yuchi Gong to Hulao Pass to wait. Then hurry up and report to General Zhang, and let him turn around and attack Wagang. General Xiao, I ordered you to start preparing the army and horse immediately and set off in three days. The supply of food, grass and supplies will be prepared by Shangshu. Three days later, General Xiao will leave the eastern capital and go to Hulao. After Yuchi Gong, he will immediately discuss the attack on Wagang with General Zhang."
Yang Guang was as impatient as he burned his butt, and his decrees were issued one after another. Wei Wensheng remembered it carefully, but Pei Yun was responsible for drafting the imperial edict, and it seemed that he had to seize the day.
After Xiao Buyi left, Yang Guang also issued all the decrees and waved his hand to ask the irrelevant people to retreat, but kept Pei Yun, Yu Shiji and Yu Wen Shu in the hall.
When Yang Guang issued his order, he felt that he had returned to the past, full of energy and great achievements.
But when he was empty, he felt that the emptiness was shrouded. After all, the bandit suppression was incompatible with his great cause. In his opinion, bandit suppression has always been something that only fools did.
If it weren’t for being stupid and incompetent, how could it lead to the rampant thieves and bandits in the world?
Thinking of this place, Yang Guang had a headache and sighed softly, feeling that the emperor's location was not very comfortable. If Chen Xuanhua was by his side, it would be irrelevant to have great achievements or not. Yang Guang thought so.
Seeing Pei Yun looking at him and wanting to speak, Yang Guang finally thought of something, "Civil Pei, how about Ming Cui now?"
"She is waiting outside the hall." Pei Yun replied.
"Supreme her come in."
When Pei Mingcui came in, she coughed gently, her face was haggard, and her body, which looked pretty good, was a little thin and lonely. Her clothes looked a little wide and a little desolate.
Yang Guang felt a little apologized when he saw Pei Mingcui. He knew that if there were three women in this world who were loyal to him, Pei Mingcui would definitely be one of them.
When Chen Xuanhua died, Yang Guang was furious and felt that everything was Pei Mingcui's fault. If she hadn't said anything foolishly, why would Chen Xuanhua have died? But calm down and think about it, Yang Guang knew rationally that Pei Mingcui should not be punished. She had done her best. No one was a god, and he was not Yang Guang, let alone Pei Mingcui.
"Mingcui, is your illness better?"
Pei Mingcui covered her mouth with a handkerchief and her cheeks were thin. "Master, Mingcui is still okay, but I have to worry about it."
Yang Guang said a thousand words, but for a moment he didn't know where to start. After a while, he said, "I blamed you wrongly at that time. It's been a few months. Everything is over."
Pei Mingcui looked at Yuwen Shu's eyes and whispered: "Thank you, Master."
Yang Guang pondered: "Mingcui, you have worked hard for a while. I saw that your illness was very worrying. It would be better to let the imperial doctor..."
Pei Mingcui continued: "Master, Mingcui is indeed a little tired. She will not take any effort to get the imperial doctor in the palace. If the Master does not blame me, Mingcui requests to return to his hometown in Jiangnan to recuperate, and asks the Master to be kind."
Yang Guang frowned for a while and said, "Since that's the case, I'll allow you to go back to Jiangnan."
"Xie Sheng." Pei Mingcui slowly knelt down on both knees, kowtowed three times, then stood up, without saying much, and turned around and left the palace.
Yang Guang waved his hand to call her back, but he let it go, sighed and murmured: "It's better to let her cultivate for a while."
Pei Mingcui left the palace and felt a little chill. She tightly slid out of Ziwei City. Looking back, Ziwei City was still tall and blue sky was like washing. All this was familiar and a little strange.
Walking down the Tianjin Bridge, people coming and going, bustling in front of you.
Pei Mingcui looked at the crowd coming and going, and the Luo River passed eastward, rushing, but she was like a ghost, and she was never incompatible. Suddenly, she felt a chill on her face, and reached out to wipe it off, and found that her hands were wet.
Am I crying? Pei Mingcui smiled, with an indescribable mockery in her smile.
