Chapter 176: The Five-Way Army

、、、、、、、、、、

At this time, Woo Hwa Ji frowned, he was no longer interested in continuing the expedition to Goryeo, but he was very worried about his family in the Eastern Capital. Now Guanzhong is in danger, and Chang'an is also surrounded by rebels. If Chang'an is lost, the rebels will inevitably move eastward and attack the eastern capital. Then the situation is very bad.

He then turned his head to Pei Ju and asked, "How to exterminate these two rebels, I don't know if Master Pei has a clever plan?" ”

Pei Ju smiled and said with a confident look: "Master Yu rest assured, in fact, the Holy Lord has long expected the rebellion of these two rebels, and has made corresponding arrangements. The Yuan clan and the Dugu clan thought that they had drilled into the void of His Majesty's expedition to Goryeo. But in fact, they are digging their own graves, and we are afraid that they will keep forbearing. ”

When Yu Ming heard this, he suddenly realized that although the Sui army had lost a small number of troops in the first two expeditions. But it is not enough to raise only 200,000 troops. Now it seems that Yang Guang should have deliberately announced this number.

Sure enough, Yang Guang smiled slightly at this time and said to Pei Ju: "Since Yu Aiqing is a little worried, Pei Aiqing might as well announce the counterinsurgency plan, so as to reassure everyone!" ”

Pei Ju nodded, saluted Yang Guang, and then came out of the column and said loudly: "According to Your Majesty's order, my counterinsurgency army is divided into five marches. First, General Li Jing led 100,000 troops, set out from Wuwei County, attacked Jincheng, and copied the Dugu clan. ”

The ministers also patted their heads at this moment, secretly wondering how to forget this Li Jing, he has been guarding the western border pass of the Great Sui, and he has 150,000 border Cypriot troops under his command, and now the Western Turks are preparing to fight the Eastern Turks, and it should be easy for him to transfer 100,000 troops to quell the rebellion.

Li Jing served as the governor of the Western Regions after the Great Sui Dynasty eliminated Tuyuhun, guarding the seven northwestern counties of Yiwu, Yanshan, Jimo, Zhangye, and Xiping. And Li Jing himself also proved his command ability in these wars, which was deeply appreciated by Yang Guang.

"If there is a master to make a move, I am afraid that the land of Longxi of the Dugu clan will not be able to be protected." Yu Ming knows how powerful his master Li Jing is.

At this time, Pei Ju continued: "The second army, with Wang Rengong as the main general of the Mayi Shou, led the border army and 100,000 county soldiers of the five counties of Wuyuan, Yulin, Dingxiang, Mayi, and Yanmen, and set out from Shuofang to attack the first line of Yan'an and Beidi, and divide the Yuan's troops into two sections! ”

Wang Rengong was both wise and brave, and he had fought many battles with the Eastern Turks, and Wuyuan, Yulin and other counties were also the key border counties of the Sui Dynasty's defense, and the border army stationed in it had strong combat effectiveness. The strength of the county soldiers in these five counties can compete with the government soldiers in the mainland.

Most of the Yuan's troops are besieging Chang'an, and a small part is still in Hedong, and the link between these two parts of the army is Yan'an, Beidi and other counties, if these two counties are recaptured by the Sui army, the Yuan's territory will be divided into two halves, and the Sui army will recapture the initiative.

At this time, Pei Ju continued: "The first army, recruited by Hebei Pei Renji to lead 100,000 soldiers from the left Hou Wei and the right Hou Wei two guards, set out from Wu'an County, attacked Shangdang and Changping County, seized the foundation of the Yuan clan, and cut it off!" ”

"The Fourth Army, led by Wang Shichong, the secretary of the military department, led 100,000 soldiers from Jianghuai Mansion, marched west from Xiangyang, passed through Shangluo County, and entered Guanzhong from Wugu, blocking the convergence of the Yuan clan and the Dugu clan, so as not to increase the strength of the two rebels after they merged together!"

"Hasn't Wang Shichong been in the Eastern Capital? Why did you go to Xiangyang? ”

"No wonder Pei Renji didn't come to Liaodong, saying that he couldn't do without Hebei bandits, it turned out that he had already been ambushed in Wu'an County."

As soon as these two armies said this, the ministers and generals in the big tent couldn't help but whisper, obviously very shocked in their hearts.

"It seems that Yang Guang's expedition to Goryeo is fake, and it is true to shake a shot and eliminate those with dissent in the Guanlongmen valve!" Yu Ming couldn't help but sigh secretly. Only then did he realize that he was still a little tender, compared to Yang Guang, a person who could get rid of his brother and become his successor, he was much worse in scheming and forbearance.

"The fifth army, led by Shangshu Weixuan of the Criminal Department, led the forbidden army of 100,000, from the eastern capital through Tongguan to aid Chang'an, in order to relieve the danger in the pass!"

Pei Ju said the attack plan of the five armies in one breath. This shocked all the generals, and it was obvious that these soldiers and horses had been prepared for a long time, just waiting for someone to drill into the trap.

When Yuhua heard this, he couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat on his face. In fact, before this expedition to Goryeo, he also had the idea of taking the opportunity to rebel. However, it was vetoed by Yushu, thinking that the time had not yet come.

At that time, he thought that his father was too conservative, but now looking at Yang Guang's arrangements, it shows that Jiang is still old and spicy, although his father is old and sick, but his vision is much more accurate than him.

At this time, Yang Guang also stood up and said: "In addition, the army of this expedition to Goryeo, except for the Yuming Department who left behind the broken queen, the rest of them all returned to the Central Plains with me to quell the rebellion!" ”

"What? Leave me in Liaodong to continue the war with Goryeo? When Yu Ming heard the news, he couldn't help but be stunned. Because his Zuoling Guard now has only 50,000 people, while the Goryeo coalition army has as many as 150,000.

Yu Huahe was also very surprised when he heard this, he never expected that Yang Guang would leave his son behind. Although Yuming is only a concubine, he is strong in martial arts, brave and good at fighting, and has made many military exploits. Even his father Yushu praised him many times, saying that the future of the Yu family would depend on this. Therefore, over the years, he has also cared a little more about Yuming and Xiao Wanjun. The relationship between the father and the father has improved dramatically.

Now that he heard that Yang Guang was going to leave Yuming behind, his heart was suddenly anxious.

Although Woomyung also stayed on the last expedition, this time it was only against the Goryeo army, and he only had to defend it for a month.

This time, however, he stayed and faced a coalition of several tribes in the Goryeo and Liaodong grasslands, far exceeding the strength of the last time. Moreover, Yang Guang did not set how long he would defend, theoretically until he successfully counterinsurgency and led the army to respond, which is difficult to predict.

He hurriedly excused himself and said, "Your Majesty, the dog is sixteen years old, and although he has experienced the first two expeditions, he is very young and does not understand military affairs. If he is entrusted with such a heavy task, Weichen is only afraid that he will lose the battle and live up to His Majesty's kindness! ”

The other generals also shook their heads again and again, obviously thinking that Yu Ming led 50,000 soldiers in his headquarters, and if he was allowed to block the attack, he might be able to hold the defense line like last time and prevent the Goryeo Coalition army from chasing after him. But if he was asked to take the initiative to attack Goryeo, his troops were greatly insufficient.

Qu Tutong, the commander of the Southern Army on this expedition to Goryeo, also clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, although General Yu Xiao served as the chief general of the Broken Rear Army when he was on the expedition to Goryeo last year, and successfully stopped the pursuit of the Goryeo army. But at that time, it was only a defense, and there was a strong city in Liaodong to defend it. And the Goryeo army was careless in order to win. But now that the Goryeo people have suffered a loss, they will inevitably be extremely cautious about General Yuxiao, and General Yuxiao's strength is only 50,000, and the Goryeo coalition army is as high as 150,000......

"General Qu is wrong! Since I want Yu Aiqing to break off, how can I only give him 50,000 people? Seeing this, Yang Guang hurriedly explained. He didn't want Yuhua and the other generals to think that he was going to trap Yuming in a desperate situation. I'm afraid that it will force Yu's to rebel.

After a pause, he said solemnly: "Yuming listens to the seal!" ”

Yu Ming was stunned when he heard this, and then hurriedly knelt down on one knee and listened to the seal.

Yang Guang continued at this time: "Zizuo Lingwei General Yuming, since the expedition to Goryeo, has repeatedly made military exploits, and in the war with Goryeo last year, he took the initiative to ask for help, and after the army was broken, he defeated the strong with the weak and had outstanding performances. Therefore, I thought that Yu Aiqing was the most suitable person to continue the conquest of Goryeo! ”

"Yu Ming is now appointed as Doctor Zuo Guanglu, General Zuo Lingwei, and 600,000 people leading the headquarters of Zuo Lingwei and Minfu, building a camp in the east of Liao, serving as the marshal of the camp, and continuing the expedition to Goryeo. The soldiers who are lacking can be recruited among the people, and the generals of the subordinate departments and brigade commanders can be appointed on their own. At the same time, the title of Shengyu Ming was the Marquis of Pyongyang, and he sealed six households. Yang Guang said with a generous face.

Everyone present was stunned at this time, General Zuo Lingwei was fine, and Yuming was now in charge of the military power of Zuo Lingwei's mansion. But Doctor Zuo Guanglu is from the position of a loose official, only six servants in the court are at this level, Yuming is only sixteen years old, he has reached such a high rank, how can he be promoted in the future?

Moreover, Yang Guang finally named Yuming as the Marquis of Pyongyang, and actually sealed six households. He was even promoted to a marquis. This is a high that even his father Yuhua and others have not reached.

In contrast, not many people cared about the generals who established the Liaodong camp, served as the marshal of the camp, and had the right to appoint and dismiss the generals below the rank of brigade commander.

Yu Shiji's younger brother Yu Shinan was suddenly jealous, he had worked hard for the Great Sui for more than 20 years, but he had not yet been able to become a marquis. Now Yu Ming is only sixteen years old, but he only participated in the second expedition to Goryeo, and he can be crowned a marquis, how can he be convinced?

He immediately questioned: "Your Majesty, although General Yu has made many military exploits, but he is about to be promoted to marquis at once, it is a little faster, Weichen thinks that he should still be ......."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by his brother Yu Shiji: "Shinan, don't say more!" Your Majesty's foresight, how can you match it, Your Majesty's reward is very reasonable, and it is convincing. ”

Yu Shinan was stunned when he heard this, secretly thinking that his brother Yu Shiji was a dignified country, and he had just been crowned a marquis. How can this Yuming be able to rise to the level of his brother, and his brother is not angry?
