In the afternoon in Luoyang, people gathered in groups in the streets and alleys, discussing the recent situation in the city.

"Is there another war? Why is it that a large number of troops have been sent to the south recently, and when I went out of the city today, I passed by Yishui, where martial law was under martial law, and I looked at it from a distance, and there were thousands of transport ships there, to say the least, right? ”

"Not only that, but there are many troops heading to the southwest, and it seems that they should be going to Hongnong."

"I haven't seen the imperial court requisition people, it's impossible to fight."

The so-called three armies did not move the grain and grass first, the transportation carrying capacity of this era is limited, generally before the war, will be requisitioned and sent to transport grain and grass, a 50,000 troops to go out, logistics will be requisitioned 100,000 or even more people, some of the number of staggering large battles, in fact, the people are counted, and the soldiers who fight the war are sometimes not even 30 percent.

"You don't know! The Holy Lord's war never conscripted the people, and these were all done by slave soldiers and slaves; There are now only two kinds of conscription: military service and forced labor; Military service is to join the army, but now the treatment of soldiers is the highest and best, there are countless people who want to join the army, you want to go to the court and don't want you, of course, when it comes to farming, the counties will also organize everyone to train, and the difference between the government soldiers is that they do not need to bring their own equipment and food, now called reserves, which means that if the standing army headed by the ten major army corps has large-scale losses in the war, it will organize reserve soldiers to defend the country, but protecting their parents, wives and children is not exactly what we should do? As for the forced labor, it is to do things in this county, and there is no need to be far from home, in fact, it is nominally to do things for the imperial court, but it is actually convenient for us to build bridges and pave roads, build water conservancy, and strengthen embankments; Moreover, the Holy Lord also stipulated that the places where the army passed through would be exempted from conscription for two years, and after the victory, the rest of the places would be exempted from conscription for one year. ”

"Holy and Bright, I hope to win"

"Heh, the saint is the first military god in the world, and all the generals are always victorious generals, so it's strange if you can't win."

Counting from Wang Bo's rebellion, the troubled times have lasted for more than ten years, and the people are naturally quite war-weary, but before the unification of the world, the people knew that the war would not end, and as for when it would be fought, no one said it, but when the war came, basically from the high-ranking officials and nobles to the peddlers and pawns, they were all psychologically prepared.

The atmosphere of Luoyang City, with the frequent movement of the army, has become a little dignified, but what reassures the people who have just become the people of the Great Sui and do not know much about the Sui system is that the imperial court has never issued an order to levy Ding, not only that, but there are also officials who went to various lifang to appease, saying that the war will be fought, but this is a battle that the Great Sui took the initiative to fight with the outside world, and it will not affect Luoyang.

Driven by this solemn atmosphere, in the past two days, many people in the court began to express their opinions around the war, and they must fight, but which prince should start first, but there are endless disputes, some people think that Li Mi should be beaten, some people think that Dou Jiande should be beaten, but more people think that Li Yuan is better to fight, first engage him, and then talk about others. There are also some civil officials who have even issued a budget list, thinking that how much to beat Li Yuan and how much to beat Li Mi......

When the wind quickly reached Yang Tong's ears, a bunch of plans followed, looking at these, Yang Tong was stunned, the battle must be fought, but did I say who I was going to fight? But you have even calculated the military expenses needed to fight whom, etc., which is too exaggerated, right? This is not an exaggeration, the most exaggerated thing is that on the issue of which way to fight the princes first, it quickly converged into one voice - 'Li Yuan is so good, kill him first.' ’

……

"The emperor really doesn't deserve it, there are few talents, there are few talents, there are many talents, and there are many talents!" In the side hall, Yang Tong couldn't help but let out a long sigh after reading the battle plan and money and food budget one by one, "This should be regarded as a happy distress." ”

Wei Yunqi, Yang Shidao, Fang Xuanling and others were speechless

The word 'show off' comes to mind.

But in reality,

Yang Tong is not showing off, but a little helpless.

Although it is said that the capable are up and the mediocre are the criteria for Yang Tong's employment, the talents in his hands are actually not mediocre, but too many demons will suppress some people, and sooner or later there will be contradictions between them; As the emperor, Yang Tong must think of a way to reasonably arrange his courtiers and senators in advance, if he turns a blind eye and abandons it, if something big happens in the future, it will be too late to regret it.

This is not what those who are courtiers understand.

Naturally, no one would answer these words, Wei Yunqi coughed lightly, and arched his hand: "Saint, we have been fighting the pseudo-Tang all these years, causing most people to think that we want to fight the pseudo-Tang, I am afraid that the pseudo-Tang also thinks so, which plays a good role in covering up." ”

The battle did start immediately, but Yang Tong and the ministers were not going to fight Li Yuan this time, but Li Mi.

Dou Jiande's surrender made the Great Sui have more than 100,000 active troops, and if his 80,000 army is reorganized, it will also get 20,000 or 30,000 elite soldiers, and the elite division in Yang Gongren's hands is not less than 150,000, not counting the slave soldiers who serve as cannon fodder. And Li Jing, who was staring at the Wei army in Yingchuan, also had 60,000 troops, and the combined strength of the two was the same as the more than 200,000 Wei troops before the war. However, Li Mi and Du Fuwei fought a few big battles and consumed some troops, and the strength is definitely inferior to the Great Sui now, if the Great Sui makes a move at this time, Li Mi must also divide his troops to defend Du Fuwei in Huainan, so the troops he can use are far inferior to Yang Gongren and Li Jing. Although the side with more troops may not win the final victory, the probability of victory is at least higher than that of the side with fewer troops, and with the military level of Yang Gongren and Li Jing, they can give full play to their superiority in troops, mobilize the Wei army before the battle, and let the other side fight at their pace.

"Order Xue Wanjun to launch a fierce offensive against Zhuyang Pass!" Yang Tong smiled and added: "Since everyone in the world thinks that our army wants to fight the pseudo-Tang, then let's make a play!" ”

"Shengshang, the battle of Sui, Wei and Huaibei is estimated to take a few months, don't waste this time, in the opinion of Yichen, in addition to General Xue's offensive against Zhuyang Pass, let the right servant shoot Xiyang and give Zhuyang Pass a fatal blow from behind; And General Qin's Second Army was responsible for pinning down Li Yuan in the direction of Nanyang. Wei Yunqi suggested.

"What does it mean to be a fake show?"

"Exactly!" Wei Yunqi said with a smile: "Zuo Servant and Li Shangshu are more than enough to deal with the Wei army, except for the strength of the two of them, our army still has more troops than the pseudo-Tang, and it is not a problem to deal with Er Li." ”

"Makes sense!" Yang Tong thought for a while, and then said: "In this way, it will be limited to the end of the year." Whichever army advances to victory, it will continue to fight; The side that is not going well in the war will stop waiting and seeing. If everything goes well, then keep fighting. ”

"This method of the Holy Lord can stimulate the fighting spirit of the two armies, which is very good." Wei Yunqi agreed.

"Then do it!"

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Luoyang's big move naturally couldn't hide from the Tang army's eyes and ears, and after a few days of brewing, Li Yuan had already received the information that the Sui army was coming.

The day after Yang Tong made the decision to fight the decisive battle with Li, Li Yuan, who was in Xinye, urgently convened a military meeting.

At this time, the Tang Army camp gathered civilly and militarily, and the hall was full.

Li Yuan was dressed in military uniform, holding the hilt of his sword, and sat high on the main seat.

Directly below him, Pei Lin was talking, "Shengshang, maybe others think that Yang Dong has elite millions, countless grains and grasses, and stable rear, and it seems that he will win, but Ranchen thinks that Yang Dong has five defeats." ”

"Which five defeats?" Li Yuan's spirits were lifted, the big battle was imminent, and the soldiers were a little uneasy, and they needed a reason to boost their morale.

"First, Yang Tong, who ascended the throne of God, is no longer the king of Qin, and his fighting spirit has been smoothed out by the luxurious days, and he has become indecisive and forward-looking."

"How so?" Li Yuan looked around, and his gaze finally fell on Pei Lian's body.

"Back to the saint, not long ago, my Nanyang army was in turmoil, which was undoubtedly a good thing for Yang Tong to send troops, but although Yang Tong had ideas, he was afraid that Qin Qiong's lone army would suffer losses if he went deeper, so he sent Yang Shanhui to help, and when Yang Shanhui arrived, he had missed the opportunity and gave the saint enough time to rectify the army."

"Makes sense! Go on. ”

"Second, before the world is unified, it is eager to enjoy itself, and the magnificence of Ziwei City is not yet satisfied, resulting in the destruction of a large number of palaces, and the construction of a large number of palaces from the ruins to build more luxurious palaces; In order to have fun as soon as possible, he levied millions and hurried to work day and night, but those who were slow would be whipped by cool officials; The weight of its violence is especially better than Yang Guang! Such a thug will sooner or later be abandoned by the people. ”

"Third, since Luoyang arrived, Yang Tong was arrogant, divided his troops to conquer the Quartet, and completely regarded the heroes of the world as grass mustard; If one side loses, the whole situation will be in turmoil, and his foundation in the Central Plains is not strong, and sooner or later he will be defeated in Hebei. ”

"Fourth, the surface is magnanimous but the heart is really suspicious, and many things are done to kill loyalty, the most typical example is that when he went south, there were many people who sacrificed the city and returned to obedience, but they were slaughtered by Yang Tong one by one, and there are lessons from the previous car, who dares to surrender?"

"Fifth, the Sui army thinks very highly of itself and is empty-eyed, this is an arrogant soldier, once it is frustrated, its morale will inevitably plummet."

Speaking of this, Pei Lin arched his hand and said: "Yang Dong, who has five defeats, if he faces the princes all the way is still unhindered, but his all-round battle, the terrain he faces is completely different from that outside the Saiwai, and the heroes of all walks of life can not only fight well, but also most of them are proficient in the art of war, and know how to use various types of ground to fight; As long as the war broke out and the Sui army failed to succeed in the first battle, the slightest change in the battlefield would undoubtedly lead to defeat. If you lose all the way, you will be frightened in many ways, giving heroes from all walks of life a chance to defeat them. ”

"Well said!" Li Yuan looked at the civil and military forces who were shocked by Pei Lian's 'Five Defeats', and suddenly looked happy, "Yang Tong in the past was indeed terrifying, but since he hid in Luoyang and didn't come out, I began to disdain him a little, because he was ambitious, wise, and timid; He is anxious to dominate the world and fight in all directions, and I am even more fearless of him, because he is arrogant; Dou Jiande fought with Wang Xiaohu, it was the opportunity for him to occupy Qingzhou, such an excellent opportunity, but he missed it, causing Dou Jiande to contain his army of more than 100,000 people, and not long ago, there was also an opportunity to seize the whole county of Nanyang, and he also missed it; On the contrary, when my Datang army was in its prime, it was a good time for my Datang to be ashamed. ”

He pulled out his sword violently, only to see that the sword body was colorful, the cold light was shining, and the two seal characters of "Juque" were written on it, and he said loudly: "Yang Tong Xiao'er wants to fight, then fight, pass the order, prepare to meet the enemy, this battle, Datang will win." ”

Li Yuan cut the case in front of him into two with a sword, showing his determination to be inseparable from Yang Tong.

"Datang will win." The generals shouted excitedly one by one, and although some other people were a little worried, they would not say anything to destroy their morale at this time.

Suddenly, the respondents gathered.

Pei Lin looked at Liu Wenjing proudly, and found that the other party was also seeing him, and from Liu Wenjing's gaze, he saw a stupid big fat pig.
