Although this Li Mi only attacked the ancestral Duke of Pushan County, his official position was only a small Luoyang County Order, and he was not an influential official. But the ministers present were very familiar with this man.

Li Mi, one of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, the great-grandson of the famous general Li Bi, followed Yuwentai to fight in the south and the north, laying the foundation of the Western Wei and Northern Zhou. It is an absolutely authentic child of a big family. Li Mi's father, Li Kuan, was also a famous general at that time, and was named the Duke of Pushan County for his merits. After Li Kuan's death, Li Gongzi took his father's title and became the enviable prince of Pushan County at a young age.

And his appearance is also quite peculiar, "the forehead is sharp and the pupils are black and white", he is a person who can be remembered at a glance, and he is born out of phase in the words of looks.

Li Mi loved to think and read since he was a child, and he was talented, and when he grew up, he was very famous in the valve ring of Guanlongmen, and later achieved excellent results in the imperial examination and became the commander of Luoyang County. Many of the ministers present were very friendly with him, so you can imagine how surprised the ministers with his rebellion.

"Your Majesty, even if Li Mi is a thief, but I am still waiting! The ministers are willing to lead the army back to the Central Plains, and take the heads of Yang Xuangan and Li Mi and other traitors to the saint. Hearing Yang Guang say that Li Mi had also rebelled, the generals present immediately stood up and asked for orders, vying to show their loyalty.

Yang Guang said hatefully at this time, "Those two traitors are just like ants in my eyes, as long as my army returns south, they will definitely be able to quell the rebellion, and they can't make much of a storm." What is hateful is that this Yang Xuangan actually chose such a critical time and ruined my plan to conquer Goryeo. Originally, the situation of this expedition to Liaodong was very good, and the Yalu River could be defeated in a battle, and the whole of Goryeo would be flattened by my army......"

"It's hateful that Yang Xuangan actually occupied Liyang Cang and cut off our army's food and grass. No wonder the food arrived a few days ago, but he always shirked and made excuses, I didn't expect that guy to be a rebel idea. Fortunately, our army has been successful in the past two months, captured many cities in Goryeo, and captured the grain in the city, otherwise it would have been defeated. Yang Guang said with palpitations.

I have to say that Yang Xuangan's move is indeed very ruthless, Yang Guang's army is about 500,000, in addition to nearly a million people. The amount of grain and grass they consume every day in Liaodong is a huge astronomical amount. But Yang Xuangan deliberately dragged it in the rear. If it weren't for the fact that the Sui army's attack was relatively smooth this time, a large amount of grain and grass was captured. Once the army is in danger of running out of food, and is counterattacked by Goryeo, it is very likely that the scene of the defeat of the expedition to Goryeo a year ago will be repeated.

Pei Ju also got up and said, "Yang Xuangan was originally a disciple of the Hongnong Yang family, and his father Yang Su was a protégé all over the world, plus today's bandits are everywhere, if he is not exterminated as soon as possible, in case he gains a foothold in the Central Plains and then unites the rebels from all over the country, it will be a big trouble." ”

Yu Shiji also echoed, "Master Pei is right, now that our army is gathered in Liaodong, the Central Plains is empty, if we don't exterminate it quickly, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles." ”

Their ministers saw very clearly: those hungry people and bandits rebelled, even if they gathered 100,000 or even 200,000 people, due to the limitations of their own quality, it was often difficult to become an atmosphere, and the imperial army could be exterminated as soon as it arrived. So this is also the reason why Yang Guang has never taken the peasant rebellion seriously before.

But those big families, and even the ministers of the court and the central government, rebelled, but they are completely two natures, and if one is not handled well, it will become a big trouble for the imperial court. After all, these people have a high reputation, and their martial arts are not comparable to those mud legs, and their energy is much greater than that of the peasant rebel army.

Yang Guang nodded at this time and said: "What the two Aiqing said is reasonable, then Yuwenshu is the main general, Li Jing is the deputy general, and the 100,000 cavalry will set off overnight, and the Yang Xuangan ** anti-thief must be pacified quickly." In addition, he was familiar with the local county guards in Henan, Shandong and other places, and sent the army of King Qin to rescue the eastern capital. After the generals in the tent go back, they will immediately check the people in their army, and all those who are involved in Yang Xuan's rebellion and thieves will be taken down, so as not to cause trouble to the army! ”

"The last will obey!" Yu Wenshu and Li Jing hurriedly lined up to receive the order.

Pei Yun got up at this time and asked, "Your Majesty, will my army continue to force the Yalu River tonight as originally planned?" The minister thought that it was not necessary to withdraw all the troops, and that part of the army should be left to contain the enemy. ”

Yang Guang pondered for a while and said: "Let's take a temporary truce, now that Goryeo has been seriously injured, I am afraid that it will be difficult to recover for decades, it is already fish and meat on my board, I can take it whenever I want." And now our army is short of food and grass, and it is impossible to stay here for a long time. After pacifying Yang Xuangan and the rebels, he will be able to calm Pyongyang with all his might. ”

At this time, Pei Ju frowned and said: "Your Majesty, although our army does have to withdraw, but when the Goryeo army sees our army retreating, it will definitely pursue and cover up." We've got to leave one of our men behind! ”

After Yang Guang heard this, he also nodded again and again: "It is indeed necessary to break the rear army. It's just that which general is willing to share my worries? I can allocate 16,000 elite troops to him! ”

When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh after only dialing so many people, but there were still more than 100,000 people in the Goryeo army. Although they did not come in pursuit, they were left with only one man, and there was not much food and grass left in the army. When the soldiers saw that the main forces had retreated, they must have panicked in their hearts. It's too hard to avoid being wiped out.

After Yang Guang asked a few times, no one answered. This made him suddenly angry and said, "What's wrong? Is it so hard for you to break down? No one dared to stand up and take on such a heavy responsibility? "Whichever general is willing to stand up, I will directly promote him to the next level! After the successful return of our army, there will be another reward! ”

After Yang Guang finished speaking, Yu Shiji suddenly smiled gloomily and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks of a person who is suitable to be the chief general of this broken army!" ”

"Oh? Who does Yu Aiqing want to recommend? Yang Guang asked with interest.

Yu Shiji touched his beard, and said with a smile: "Weichen wants to recommend Xu Guogong's grandson, Yu Wenming as the chief general of the army after the break." General Yuwen was born in a family of generals, not only excellent martial arts, but also very good literary talents, and won the first place in the Lantern Festival Poetry Competition in the Eastern Capital four years ago. It can be seen that he is a good general with both civil and military skills. ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "Not only that, but General Yuwen also broke through the sneak attack troops in Goryeo and infiltrated the territory of our Great Sui during the expedition last year, killing the enemy chief Park Zhengchang. This expedition also made persistent efforts and defeated the attack of the Khitan army. It has made great contributions to the successful occupation of Black Rock City by the Northern Route Army! It shows that although he is young, his combat experience is not inferior to that of ordinary generals......"

As soon as Yu Wenshu heard Yu Shiji say this, he secretly screamed that it was not good, Yu Shiji had won the trust of Yang Guang, and he had always liked to use newcomers. How can there be a reason to let Yu Wenming serve as the chief general of the broken army if you don't take advantage of the trend?

So he hurriedly objected: "Your Majesty, although the minister Sun Yu Wenming has made small contributions, he is still far from being a real general in terms of wisdom and strategy. It still needs to be tempered before it is possible to grow up, and now to put him in such an important position as the main general, I am afraid that it will be harmful to pull out the seedlings and help them grow. Now Weichen's Zuo Ling Guard also lacks generals, according to the minister, it is better to let him go south with the old minister and attack the Yang Xuangan rebel. ”

However, Yuwenshu's words were immediately opposed by Pei Ju: "Lord Yuwen's words are wrong, he is not ambitious, during the Warring States Period, the prodigy Ganluo was also twelve years old, and the monarchs and ministers of the six countries were not the same?" As for the lack of generals around him that Lord Yuwen is worried about, there is no need to worry. Now that the extermination of Yang Xuangan's rebels is a top priority, Lord Yuwen's subordinates only need to report to the Ministry of War for approval and requisition from several other armies, will there be anyone who will hold the hand and refuse to lend it to Lord Yuwen? ”

What Pei Ju said is also very reasonable, and at first glance, it is indeed very fair. But Yu Wenshu knew that Pei Ju and himself didn't seem to have any contradictions on the surface, but there were a lot of small actions in secret. After all, the two of them can be said to be the two most powerful ministers in the court and the emperor's favorite. Naturally, they all want to step on each other, and then become the head of the hundred officials. Therefore, he will naturally fall into the well at this critical juncture, trying to make his favorite grandson become the commander of the broken queen army that everyone fears, and then take the opportunity to die.

When Yuwen Shu was about to defend again, Yang Guang had already been moved by Pei Ju and Yu Shiji, he nodded and said: "The Zuo Ling Guard Army is the most elite unit in my Great Sui Army, and this retreat was in a hurry, so there must be a wise and brave general and elite soldiers to break off the rear to prevent the Goryeo Army from taking advantage of the situation to pursue." Since General Yuwen has had excellent performances before and has repeatedly made military exploits, it shows that his military talent is indeed very outstanding. I think that for this kind of young and promising young general, who is both wise and brave, he should be promoted and entrusted with important tasks! ”

After that, he said squarely: "Now pass on my order: the three armies will raise their camps and retreat to Zhuojun." Appointed Yu Wenming as the general of the left reserve body mansion, and after leading the army of 30,000 to break off, cover the retreat of the army! Be sure to hold back the Goryeo army east of the Liao River for more than a month! Make no mistake! ”

It's all said about this, whether it's Yuwenshu or Yuwenming, it's hard to say anything more. You must know that the left reserve mansion is a military position of the fourth grade. Only one level lower than the great generals of the Twelve Prefectures. With Yu Wenming's age and qualifications, I'm afraid that it is a question of whether he can reach this level in another ten years.

Yu Wenming was also helpless, so he had to take a step forward, knelt down on one knee and said, "The last general will take the order!" We must follow Your Majesty's orders and complete the important task of covering the retreat of the army! ”

Seeing this, Yu Wenshu couldn't help but sigh, and the rest of the ministers had already looked at Yu Wenming with a dead man's gaze. There are still more than 100,000 people in the Goryeo army, but Yang Guang is only willing to give Yu Wenming 30,000 people, even if these 30,000 people are all elite divisions, they are also good enemies, but there are too many people! Moreover, the main forces of the army have been withdrawn, and it is strange that the soldiers left behind are not panicked.

Pei Ju and Yu Shiji exchanged a satisfied look with each other at this time, they had long been dissatisfied with the strength of Yuwen Valve. Especially seeing that Yuwen Chengdu and Yu Wenming have repeatedly made military exploits and become recognized rising stars in the Sui army, they are even more worried. Because their family still has a lot of talents in civil officials, but in terms of military generals, except for Pei Renji, who has a Pei family in the Pei family, they can't compete with the Yuwen family at all. Therefore, in terms of weakening the strength of the Yuwen valve, the two reached an alliance very tacitly.
