Chapter 53: The Battle
"Why didn't the general say that it was sent out by the Sui Dynasty in the early stage to disrupt our army and prepare for next year, you must know that the battle report said that they didn't kill any people in Xincheng." Yuan Taizuo retorted.
"King! The old minister also had some concerns, so he ordered him to go to Liaodong to guard against the Sui Dynasty army. "Ezhi Wende respectfully asks for an order.
"Yes, but the old general should wait for the weather to get warmer, and then go." The Infant Yang King said.
"Thank you for your understanding, it's just that the new city is where we hoard food, and now that it is lost, the old minister must go to the front to recustomize the defense line."
"In this way, it will be hard for the old general, and the rear will raise food as soon as possible, and as soon as the road is opened, it will be sent over immediately."
"The old minister understands!"
…………………
Central Plains! Daxing City! Palace!
Yang Guang ordered the addition of 120 secretaries and provincial officials, and supplemented them with bachelors for revision. Fourteen study rooms were built in front of the Guanwen Palace, and the brocade curtain hung down on the door, and there were two flying immortals on it, and the mechanism was installed underground outside the door. Before people go to the study, there are palace people stepping on the mechanism first, Feixian automatically comes down, puts away the brocade curtain, and the portal and kitchen are automatically opened, and when they go out, the door and the library are automatically closed.
For the turmoil in the outside world, Yang Guang didn't seem to pay attention to it at all, and still went his own way, the only change was that he did not mention the Eastern Crusade again at the annual meeting, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief.
Many people think that as long as the emperor settles down, the world will soon be stable, but they don't know that the situation outside has changed.
…………………
Hebei! A cottage!
"There is no way to do it, don't give me a way to live, I want to follow the example of my ancestors, rise up, kill corrupt officials, and stand on my own." A tall man stood in the hall and said excitedly.
"Kill corrupt officials!"
"Kill corrupt officials!"
Dozens of people below immediately raised their arms and shouted, shouting excitedly.
"Good! As long as all the brothers are united, why worry about big things, when the time comes, they will be rich and prosperous, and share it! ”
"Roar, roar, roar!"
…………………
Hebei, Weijiazhuang! Underground Vault.
"I've got the news, and someone is going to uncover it recently, brothers, tell me, what should we do? Do you stand up and respond, or do you do it yourself? A sturdy man, glaring, asked in a low voice.
"In my opinion, it's better to wait for them to do it first, let's wait and see, and then make plans." A small man said, rolling his eyes.
"Yes, even if we do it, we will act alone, and we would rather be the head of the chicken than the tail of the phoenix!" A scholar followed the way.
"Well, it's decided, the prince will have a kind of Xiangning! Our brothers will fight for a while. The sturdy man, with his big hand pressed on the table, said categorically.
………………
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, a prince and a prince will Xiang Ning have a kind of, I don't know how many people have ambitions later, and it has also opened countless uprisings of the people. If Zou Yu saw it, he would definitely shake his head and sigh.
The peasant uprisings of the past dynasties, no matter how big the momentum, must end in tragedy in the end, this has nothing to do with anything else, the main thing is that there is not enough knowledge, not enough knowledge, after success, they are at a loss, disoriented, and bring more pain to the people of the world, it seems that there is not much benefit, and in the end, most of them are nobles, even if some are not, such as Liu Bang, etc., at least they are officials, and they have a lot of knowledge and a very broad vision.
……………………
Liaodong! Buyeo Castle!
Another year has passed, on the fifteenth day of the first month of the New Year, Zou Yu notified the whole city in advance to celebrate today, because the weather is cold, so there is only a daytime celebration.
The whole city was dispatched, and the personnel selected by the army performed performances, singing and dancing of the Xi people, hunting dances of the Xi people, wrestling of the Khitan, and wrestling! Guess the riddles, juggle!
The most important thing is the free snacks, more than a dozen kinds of snacks, ten stalls of each, placed at the city gate, and everyone can receive two free copies.
Fried rice flowers, wheat flowers, maltose, fried dried fish, pastries, although not much, the people are still very happy, after all, they are all free.
If you want to say the most lively, or say the ski race outside the city, the race around the city for a week, attracted many onlookers, the city is full of circles, I don't know if you see it from a distance, you think it's a siege.
Outside the city, in addition to the thousands of people who competed, there were also thousands of idle people, skiing for their own amusement.
The cold weather did not affect the mood of the people at all, and the lively activities lasted for a day before returning to their respective homes, and the people in the villages outside the city were paddling back in the snow, which was already a regular way to rush in Buyeo City.
"Through this campaign, I found that trading is a very troublesome thing at the moment, so I want to continue to implement the five-baht coin from this year." Zou Yu said.
"It's true, it's really inconvenient for people to trade in small comprehensives, without currency, especially since we have more and more people, and it is not possible to unify without one." Bai Suhua agreed.
Others also thought it should have been so, so no one objected, and the top brass knew that now they had their own copper mines, making five-baht coins, and that was no problem.
"The people must do a good job of pacifying and retreating the supplies to the city in advance, and the mining area must also be prepared." Zou Yu continued.
"Preparations have already begun, because of the excavated soil and a lot of stones in the mining area, which is just right to pile up defenses, and after the enemy situation appears, it will be too late for the nearby people to evacuate." Li Keshi replied.
"Yes, Goguryeo's primary target must be the city, the enemy does not know our details, this is the biggest advantage, we have to guard against the imperial court in a short time, there will definitely not be too many troops, our first battle, it is best to beat them." Zou Yu said with full of fighting spirit.
"Well, what I'm most afraid of is grappling, after all, our background is too shallow." Li Keshi agreed.
"The fine iron brought back is being intensified, according to your requirements, mainly spears, and the other is arrows." Liu Jin, who only came back after the Chinese New Year, said.
Liu Renliang's performance is very good, coupled with ginseng supplements, his current pure combat effectiveness is no less than his father's, so Liu Jin has more smiles than before, and he is smiling at any time.
"After the beginning of spring, we still continue to let the people plough in the spring, after all, the war may not come to this side. It is best to keep the enemy out of the country. Zou Yu said.
"The city lord is right, we have a lot of cavalry, which is suitable for field warfare." Qin Qiong nodded in agreement, I don't know why, he has no physical problems, he has eaten a lot of ginseng and deer antlers, but his face has always been faintly golden, and he has a somewhat sick feeling, but fortunately, his face is handsome and his eyes are bright, which does not affect his image and temperament.
"Yes, we can dispatch 20,000 cavalry, that is, 100,000 foot soldiers, and some of them can win in battle!" Su Dingfang said confidently.
"Alright, let's go field! Defeat Goguryeo in one fell swoop! Zou Yu squeezed his fist heavily and said.
