In Zhuhe County, Bohai County, the triumphant division has all disembarked, and at dusk, wisps of cooking smoke can be seen floating over the north bank of the Yellow River.

In a big tent, Yang Tong, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Zhang Zhenzhou and others who went out to fight Wenwu had also learned about the great drought that swept the whole country from Wei Zheng, Gao Yaxian and others. In the past, when the drought came, Bingzhou and Yongbei would become the hardest hit areas, and every time the drought came, many people in these places would starve to death, but this year there has been a change.

With the prevalence of cash-for-work in the world, as well as the endless supply of prisoners of war and slaves, the infrastructure of the whole territory of the Great Sui has been reborn, and the water conservancy facilities have always been the focus of the first step after seizing the new territory, and the perfect water conservancy network can minimize the loss of drought, coupled with the abundant capital of the Great Sui, there will be no danger of food shortage at all.

After listening to Wei Zheng's simple report, Yang Tong also put his mind at ease. It was only after that that the expedition to Goguryeo was introduced.

Everyone heard that the land and water army of the Great Sui was ravaging the Goguryeo army, and also took the old nest of Goguryeo, and finally recaptured the homeland of the Han Dynasty, and applauded excitedly for the army that returned from victory.

The reason why Yang Tong named 'Xuanling City' after Fang Xuanling was actually that he couldn't think of a good name, and he saw that the word 'Xuanling' was good, so he was clever and suddenly thought, but he didn't expect that there would be such an effect, and now even Lao Wei is red-eyed, which shows that the good name of the ancients is by no means groundless, and he simply said the decision to open up the territory and expand the territory for a hundred miles, that is, to name a city in the name of the main general, and everyone was even more excited.

"Your Highness, now that we have occupied four-fifths of Goguryeo's territory, the Goguryeo army is like a turtle in an urn, as long as we kill the Gao clan and the Yuan clan, Goguryeo will inevitably be leaderless, and it is a great time for my Great Sui to annihilate Goguryeo." Gao Yaxian said a little unwillingly.

"How can it be that easy? Even if we kill the Gao clan headed by Gao Jianwu and the Yuan clan headed by Yuan Taizuo, the family lords and people of Goguryeo will not recognize us, in the final analysis, the time for the establishment of the country in Goguryeo is too long, and their identification with the country has been deep in the bone marrow, and they have not won the hearts of the people, we can't stabilize that piece of land, and if someone rebels every day, the army will only be dragged down and dragged to death. Therefore, the good way to annex Goguryeo is not to swallow it, but to encroach on it, and what we have to do is to destroy the prestige of Goguryeo and Goguryeo among the people step by step, and it will come naturally. Yang Tong looked at everyone's expressions and comforted with a smile: "Don't worry, we will have a bigger territory in the future, and we don't have to care about the poor ghost place." ”

Luo Shixin and Niu Jinda glanced at each other, and the former said: "His Royal Highness has his own plans for Goguryeo, so I won't say anything about it......"

Yang Tong smiled knowingly and said, "You two want to go back to your hometown, right?" ”

was told by Yang Tong, the two nodded at the same time, and Luo Shixin continued: "Now that most of the people of Qingzhou have escaped, the morale of Dou Jiande's army can be imagined. Only 30,000 troops are needed to capture the four counties of Qingzhou within a month. ”

Yang Tong said with a smile: "The Sui Fifth Army is the most elite soldier in the world, I only need 20,000 people, and I can sweep the four counties of Qingzhou in ten days." ”

Luo Shixin's face turned red, "Is my suggestion wrong?" ”

Yang Tong retracted his joke: "After Dou Jiande failed in Jizhou, if he went to Bashu, he might still have a foothold, but his mistake was that he chose Qingzhou, which has my Great Sui in the north, Li Mi in the west, and Du Fuwei in the south. Qingzhou is the hardest hit area of this year's drought, even if there is rain, it has missed the agricultural time for farming, so Dou Jiande not only lost the qualification to dominate the world, but even difficult to survive, we only need to take grain as bait, we can make his army collapse without a fight, and it is logical to take the four counties of Qingzhou. ”

"But if we take Qingzhou, the Great Sui will border Li Mi, and he will interrupt the strategy of southward development because of the threat we bring, so that the world will enter a period of stability, once we move Li Mi, Li Yuan and Wang Shichong are very likely to take the opportunity to make trouble, such a situation is not what I want." If we take a break for a while, Li Mi will feel relieved to go south without feeling threatened. ”

"Li Zitong, Shen Faxing, and Lin Shihong in the south have already submitted to Li Mi. Therefore, Li Mi's goal can only be Du Fuwei and Xiao Miao, and Du Fuwei has the danger of the Huai River, and Li Mi has no water army, so Xiao Mi, who occupies Jingyang, naturally becomes his preferred target, Zhu Cang in the north of Jingzhou was copied by Li Mi, Wang Shichong, Xiao Mi, and Li Yuan, but it is a strategic place where Li Mi has to move, once Li Mi moves him, it will violate the interests of Wang Shichong, Xiao Mi and Li Yuan, and the problem brought by this is the melee of the princes, which is the pattern of the world that I want. ”

Luo Shixin was ashamed and said: "I was short-sighted, and I almost ruined His Highness's plan. ”

Yang Tong shook his head with a smile and said: "You are not short-sighted, you are 'not in your position and do not seek your job', if you change places with me, you will also take these problems into account." Now most of the people of Qingzhou have fled to my Great Sui, and in the future, we will send fine works into Qingzhou to encourage the people to vote, and strive to attract eighty or ninety percent of the population of Qingzhou to the Great Sui. In the case of not daring to provoke us, he can only continue to fight with Li Mi. ”

Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "His Highness's considerations are really thoughtful. ”

"Your Highness, the people of Qingzhou are fierce and there are many people who are good at water, and the last general wants to recruit 30,000 sailors from the victims." As early as the class division, Zhang Zhenzhou had already received an order to expand the naval army.

"Okay!" Yang Tong thought for a while and said, "The quality of the victims is uneven, you first recruit 60,000 people, and then resettle these 60,000 people and their families in Bohai County on the spot." After a month of training, 30,000 elites will be selected! Those who do not meet the requirements are all for the people. ”

"Whoa!" Zhang Zhenzhou and Gao Yaxian were ordered to come down.

"Your Highness!" At this time, a small official ran over quickly from a distance and said loudly: "The Azhu County Order of Qi County on the other side will bring the people of a county to vote!" ”

When everyone heard this, they were all stunned, this is definitely an unprecedented innovation!

Yang Tong said curiously: "All the people from a county are here?" ”

"Exactly!" There was a hint of excitement in the eyes of this little official, and he sneered: "If it is dark today, and there are more than 30,000 people in Azhu County, our ships are seriously insufficient. Your Highness, could you please use the warship to help? ”

"Yes! How can't you? Yang Tong smiled and said to Zhang Zhenzhou: "General Zhang, let the navy brothers work hard, take the people on the other side of the river, and then unload 300,000 stone grain from the cargo ship." By the way, this Azhu County Order can kidnap the people of the entire county, it can be called a strange person, I am a little interested in this person, invite him over to talk. ”

"Whoa!" Zhang Zhenzhou responded to the order.

"Lao Niu, Wei Chi, Cheng Yanjin, Huang Junhan, each of you will lead an army of 10,000 and build a camp of 50,000 people to disperse the victims. This is not a march to fight, and there is no need for defense. ”

"Whoa."

。。。。。

When Zheng Renji's father and son arrived on the opposite shore on a tall and majestic five-tooth boat and landed on land, a young soldier who seemed to have been waiting for a long time hurriedly greeted him, bowed down and said, "Is it the Azhu County Order?" ”

Zheng Renji also saluted: "Under Zheng Renji, it is the Azhu County Order. ”

"My father boarded the ship of the Great Sui, and it was not the Azhu County Order; Now it's just a common man. The little girl on the side said crisply.

After the soldier was stunned for a moment, he said to Zheng Renji with a smile: "I am Jiang Tao, the captain of the Great Sui Water Military Academy, and I am waiting for Mr. Zheng here on the order of His Royal Highness the King of Qin. ”

Zheng Renji saw that he was only twenty years old, and although he was a soldier, he was knowledgeable and calm, and he couldn't help but feel a little good: "Thank you." ”

At this moment, the lovely little girl asked curiously, "Isn't His Royal Highness King Qin on an expedition to Goguryeo?" How did it end up here? And why do you want to see my father? ”

"The battle has been won, of course I have to come back!" Jiang Tao pointed to the endless cargo ship and said proudly: "A total of 630 cargo ships and the items on board are all trophies from the palace of King Gao Jianwu, if it were not for His Highness's mercy and permission to surrender, Goguryeo would cease to exist." In addition, there are more than 700,000 Goguryeo people who are also our trophies, and they will enter the Great Sui by land and become the slaves of our Great Sui. ”

"Good, good!" Zheng Renji excitedly said two good words in a row, and said: "This is a grand event for my Han family, and the first war washed away all the previous shame." ”

"Mr. Zheng, please!" Jiang Tao smiled.

"Please!"

Zheng Renji's father and daughter followed Hong Tao to a big tent in the distance.

The little girl was curious: "General Jiang, I heard that the Goguryeo people are very fierce, can you tell me how you fought Goguryeo?" ”

"It's not a secret, it won't take long for it to spread all over the world, of course it's okay!" Jiang Tao smiled and said: "Two months ago, the land and water army arrived in Danfeng City, Lushun County, and 5,000 soldiers of Goguryeo came to invite the battle. On the evening of the same day, our army was divided into two routes, and General Zhang Zhenzhou commanded the naval army to move south down the sea, and in the early morning of the next day, he fought a decisive battle with the Goguryeo naval army at Hunshui, and successfully annihilated the enemy's main force of 10,000; At about the same time, the 30,000 army commanded by His Royal Highness and the 70,000 army of Goguryeo Moli Zhiyuan Taizuo fought a decisive battle outside Danfeng City, killing more than 40,000 enemies and killing Yuan Taizuo's three sons...... Then the army went south, joined the naval army, and decided Pyongyang in a battle..."

"That night, Fang Shangshu, the commander of the Northern Route Army, lured the enemy army out of the city, and took advantage of the situation to defeat the Zhuhan City where Yuan Taizuo and Yizhi Wende were located......" Jiang Tao roughly described the battle situation.

"You're amazing." The little girl adored.

"This is all His Highness's wisdom and martial arts, and he knows how to use people well!" Jiang Tao said with a smile.

Zheng Renji felt a lot of emotion in his heart, when Dou Jiande was still struggling to survive, the once again glorious Great Sui used the powerful Khitan, Xi people, Turkic, and Goguryeo as stepping stones, and constantly raised his prestige outside the territory, how could Dou Jiande compare? How can you fight this heroic army that has won a hundred battles and has a great army?

What's the point of sticking to the game of losing?

This may be the ambition of the hero! I don't understand or agree with it, I just hope that Dou Jiande, who treats people generously, will wake up as soon as possible, which is the luck of the world and the blessing of the people.
