Chapter 406 quells chaos and seizes power

Several prime ministers came out of the imperial study worriedly, the war is fought by national strength, everyone understands this truth, more than one million troops, more than three million people, it took half a year, this is indeed to consume tens of millions of stone grain, millions of weapons and millions of livestock.

But the question is, is it worth raising the country's troops to fight the little Goryeo? What's more important is that now the domestic disasters are continuous, and the hungry people are not only millions, but it is all up to the local government to help the victims. It's going to be a big mess.

But Emperor Yang Guang didn't listen to persuasion at all, and insisted on going his own way, which made everyone frown, and it was already dusk, and everyone went home.

Pei Ju sighed and said to Pei Yun: "Go to my house!" Let's talk. ”

The two of them came to the gate of the imperial city and got into Pei Ju's carriage, and Pei Yun asked, "Is there any news of Yuanqing?" ”

"It's because I have news of him that I'm looking for you."

Pei Ju took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Pei Yun, "I just received it at noon, you can take a look!" ”

Pei Yun took out the letter, his body swayed gently with the carriage, and through the afterglow outside the window, he carefully read the letter, he frowned slightly, "Yuan Qing was assassinated?" ”

"Fortunately, it is safe and sound, I don't know who did it? Yuan Qing thinks it's not the Yuan family, and I agree with it, it's unlikely that it's the Yuan family, you can take a look below. ”

Pei Yun continued to look down, he was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he looked up at Pei Ju, "Do you think it's possible?" ”

Yang Yuanqing hinted in the letter that the Yuan family had the intention of making a move, which made Pei Yun quite stunned, Pei Ju sighed slightly, "Originally, I didn't believe it, but if you think about it carefully, there is indeed this possibility, this time the saint beat Goryeo, it is clearly to deal with the Guanlong nobles, it is to be ruthless to them, I estimate that there will be a family among the Guanlong nobles to jump out, and the Yuan family is the most ruthless, if it jumps out first, I am not surprised at all." ”

Pei Yun pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Then when do you think the Yuan family will rebel?" ”

Pei Ju shook his head, "I can't say for sure, I need a lot of preparation, and I have to wait for the opportunity, I thought it would be at least until the next year." ”

"If the Yuan family really wants to rebel, then how should our Pei family deal with it?"

"That's what I want to talk to you about today, let's talk about it when I get home!"

The carriage picked up speed and galloped away in the direction of Pei Fu.

．．．．．．．．

The imperial study room was quiet, and only Yuwenshu was left of the seven prime ministers, and at this time, Gonggong Li walked in and presented a letter to Yang Guang, "Your Majesty, news from Youzhou." ”

Yang Guang was drawing up a battle plan, he immediately put down his pen, took the letter, opened it and read it carefully, this is the letter written by Ying Yanglang Han Chi, this is the 406th chapter of the 30,000 troops written by Yang Yuanqing after he went to Youzhou to take up the governorship, preparing to launch a campaign against the bandit king Basu.

Yang Guang laughed, Yang Yuanqing is very good at using his will, he had issued an order at the beginning of the year, and it is okay to mobilize the army to quell the bandits

Said to Yuwen: "Yang Yuanqing began to suppress bandits in Youzhou. ”

Yu Wenshu didn't know the content of the letter, nor did he know Yang Guang's attitude, he didn't dare to say anything, so he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, with the experience of ministers for many years, it is not suitable to fight in winter, especially not to suppress bandits. ”

Yang Guang glanced at Yu Wenshu, "Tell me your reason!" ”

"Your Majesty, the bandits generally build a village on the mountain, and the road to the mountain into the village must be rugged and narrow, and steep, if it is frozen, it is even more impossible to go up the mountain, the bandits are condescending, and they can be stationed with bows and arrows, Weichen thinks that if the Sui army attacks strongly, it may be able to attack, but the cost is too great, and it will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, so the minister said that it is not suitable to fight in winter."

Yang Guang nodded, "I know, Aiqing will step back for a moment!" ”

"Yes!"

Yu Wenshu slowly retreated and waited outside, and Yang Guang asked Li Zhongliang at this time: "Do you have any other messages?" ”

"There is also the fact that General Han wants to be transferred out of Youzhou, and he said that General Yang may want to carry out a major purge of Youzhou."

Li Zhongliang said while peeking at Yang Guang anxiously, as early as when Yang Guang was the king of Jin, Li Zhongliang was one of the four eunuchs around Yang Guang, and now he is serving as an internal servant in the province, and he has a lot of power, but the first emperor Yang Jian and Yang Guang are both diligent monarchs, and the eunuchs have no chance to take charge of the military power, so the eunuchs of the Sui Dynasty cannot be on the political stage.

Li Zhongliang is the name changed after entering the palace, his common surname is Han, Ying Yanglang will Han Chi is his nephew, it is Li Zhongliang who is the lead, Han Chi has become Yang Guang's undercover agent to monitor Yuan Honghe, and now Yang Yuanqing is in charge of Youzhou, Han Chi smelled the smell of Yang Yuanqing to clean Youzhou, so he begged Li Zhongliang to think of transferring himself out of Youzhou.

Yang Guang knew in his heart that Yang Yuanqing's suppression of the bandits was just a cover, and his real purpose was to take the opportunity to adjust the high-level officers in Youzhou, the reason why it was adjusted rather than purged, but because Yang Yuanqing did not bring many officers to Youzhou, and there was no sign of a large number of transfers in Fengzhou, so it was impossible for Yang Yuanqing to purge at the beginning of his entry into Youzhou.

Yang Guang smiled and said: "You let Han Chi not have to think too much, when the battle of Liaodong is over, after I make a major adjustment to the army in the world, I will give him a satisfactory military position, now let him stay in Youzhou with peace of mind, and continue to monitor Yang Yuanqing for me." ”

Li Zhongliang saw that Yang Guang refused to transfer his nephew, and he was helpless, so he had to sigh secretly, bowed down and said, "The old slave understands, so write to him." ”

Li Zhongliang retreated, Yuwenshu returned to the imperial study, Yang Guang pondered for a long time, and suddenly asked Yuwenshu: "Does Yuwen Aiqing think that Yang Yuanqing will really suppress bandits?" ”

Yu Wenshu had already figured out Yang Yuanqing's true intention to suppress the bandits at this time, and he understood what Yang Guang meant, so he thought about it and said: "The minister thinks that he will make some moves, and just transferring troops without fighting will damage his authority." ”

Yang Guang nodded, "I think so too, I hope he can bring me good news." ”

．．．．．．．．．．

Yang Guang still thought wrong, although Yang Yuanqing did not have Fengzhou officers to go to Youzhou, it did not mean that Yang Yuanqing did not have available people, he took advantage of the opportunity to suppress bandits and carried out a major purge of the Youzhou army.

Yu Wenshu also made a mistake in judgment, Yang Yuanqing had no intention of suppressing bandits in winter at all, he knew better than anyone in his heart that even if he wiped out Wang Basu's army, his Youzhou army would pay a heavy price.

The time has come to the end of December, and Yang Yuanqing has led 32,000 Youzhou troops to be stationed in Yi County, Shanggu County for more than half a month, completing his purge of Youzhou troops.

War is the best opportunity to carry out the adjustment and purge of the army, because war will change the establishment of the army, change the peacetime government military system into a combat organization, and how to carry out the establishment is the power of the commander-in-chief.

This time to suppress the bandits, Yang Yuanqing mobilized a total of 30,000 Youzhou troops in Zhuo County, Anle County and Shanggu County, he scattered all the 30,000 Youzhou troops and redivided them into ten teams, each team appointed a partial general and regiment leader, except for the army directly under the governor's office, the rest of the 3,000 people were in a team, including 1,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry.

The 32,000 Youzhou Army originally had a total of twenty-eight Ying Yang Lang generals, he only brought twelve, and the other sixteen were the people on Luo Yi's list for him, he all stayed in Zhuo County, and actually cleaned them out, these sixteen Ying Yang Fu Lang will return him to the military department, and the military department will resettle him, including Han Chi, he will also return to the military department.

Among the twelve partial generals he reorganized, five were his former iron guards, and the other five were Yang Jiachen's recommended eagle strike generals to him, all of whom were officers in the five thousand cavalry commanded by Yang Yuanqing in the fourth year of Renshou, and they were the subordinates of the five iron guards.

Su Lie served as the general of the army directly under the governor's office, and Yang Yuanqing expanded the army from 2,000 to 5,000 people, mainly cavalry.

The last regiment leader was given to Hou Mo Chen Yi, the general who had fought with him back then, and after half a month of reorganizing the army and matching the generals, he completed all the adjustments.

Yang Yuanqing's army of more than 30,000 bandits was stationed outside Yixian County, and the camp tent was densely packed and stretched for several miles, and Yang Yuanqing's Chinese army tent was located in the middle of the barracks.

In the big tent, Yang Yuanqing was busy reviewing the documents piled up like a hill, these were originally things of long history, but because Zhao Yuanwei went to Bohai to build a ship, he temporarily replaced the affairs of long history, and these trivial matters were also handed over to him to deal with, and he was dizzy about these things, so he simply threw these documents to his clerk Lang Jia Zhengyi.

Jia Zhengyi is the master of fake letters that Yang Yuanqing received in Jiangdu, and he has been following Yang Yuanqing for the past few years to handle documents for him.

What Jia Zhengyi wants to do is to sort out these documents first, and then compile a brief content, and then Yang Yuanqing will approve it according to these brief contents, which greatly reduces his pressure.

At this time, there was a report from the soldiers outside the tent, "General Hou Mochen asks to see!" ”

"Please come in!"

As soon as the curtain was lifted, a cold wind blew in, and the burly Hou Mo Chen Yi walked in quickly, he knelt down on one knee and saluted: "The last general will see the chief manager!" ”

"General, please be seated!"

Yang Yuanqing invited Hou Mo Chen Yi to sit down, and said with a slight smile: "How is it, are you still used to the new army formation?" ”

Hou Mo Chen Yi is more than thirty years old, he is a veteran of more than ten years in the army, he is Li Jing's subordinate for many years, but he has always admired Yang Yuanqing, if he is asked to choose between Li Jing and Yang Yuanqing, he will choose to be loyal to Li Jing, but if he chooses between others and Yang Yuanqing, he will choose to be loyal to Yang Yuanqing, although Hou Mo Chen Yi is not a henchman like Yang Jiachen, but he is a person who can be trusted.

Hou Mo Chen scratched his head and smiled: "Actually, no, it's actually the same for 3,000 people and 1,000 people, but for me 5,000 people, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult." ”

"I know your ability, give you 5,000 people, you can manage it well, but you have to think harder."

Yang Yuanqing smiled and asked him again, "Do you have anything to look for me?" ”

Hou Mo Chen Yi said: "Actually, I just want to ask the general manager, the arrangement of the bandits, everyone has been holding back for half a month, and I don't know when we can go to Wuhuiling to attack Wang Basu." ”

Yang Yuanqing took a piece of information from the table and handed it to him, "This is the information of the scout, take a look!" ”

Hou Mo Chen Yi took the information and looked at it, his brows suddenly furrowed, the snow in Wuhui Ridge was actually three feet deep, and there were no five ways to go.

"Chief, what then? Back to Zhuo County? ”

"No!"

Yang Yuanqing shook his head decisively, "Just stay in Yi County to train for winter operations, when you firmly control the army, when will I return to Youzhou City." ”

Yang Yuanqing added lightly, "Don't think about returning to the military government, the Liaodong Campaign is about to be carried out, and I will maintain the current establishment for one or two years." ”
