Pei Ju stroked his long beard under his chin and said lightly: "Your Majesty, you can recall what position Wei Xiangguo held before he served as the secretary of the Criminal Department, and you can know why he opposed it!" ”

There are some things he can only point to the end, and he can't say too much, anyway, when the meaning is reached, Yang Guang will naturally understand it, and saying too much will make Yang Guang think that he is deliberately slandering others.

Yang Guang reacted at this time, Wei Xuan was Ren's Chang'an Shou before. made great contributions in the war to exterminate Yang Xuangan, and he was not a member of the Guanlongmen valve, so he was exceptionally promoted to Xiangguo.

Although this person is not Guanlongmen, he has served in Guanzhong for many years. And if a person has been an official in a place for a long time, it is inevitable that he will have feelings for this place. So it's no surprise that Wei Xuan would raise objections. He definitely didn't want Guanzhong to fall into ****.

Yang Guang pondered for a while, and Fang said to Pei Ju: "But although the world is chaotic at present, Guanzhong has always been safe and sound, and among the twelve guards and soldiers, most of them are officers from the Guanlong nobles. If it is really about the rebellion of the Longmen valve, I am afraid that it will shake the foundation of the army! ”

This sentence really got to the point, and Pei Ju immediately understood that this question was the key. He had to give Yang Guang a reason to agree to the plan on this issue, and this was the main reason why Yang Guang summoned Pei Ju. Otherwise, Yang Guang would not be able to fully convince himself.

As soon as Pei Ju pondered for a while, he had a case in his heart. He smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, it is precisely because there are a large number of officers in the army who have closed the Longmen Lord, so it is very harmful!" Today, there are still many contradictions inside the Guanlongmen valve, and it has not been twisted into a rope. They can also allow us to differentiate and use each other. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity, find out those who have different intentions. Really wait for the Guanlongmen valves to connect with each other, hug each other, and rebel after being fully prepared. That would be even more harmful to the world. I'm afraid that the disaster is not only Guanzhong, Longxi and other places. Hedong, Jiangnan, Bashu, and Henan are afraid that they will all be affected. Therefore, it is better to start with the valve of Guanlongmen sooner rather than later! ”

After Yang Guang heard this, Fang nodded and said, "Pei Aiqing means that he still agrees with my plan, right?" ”

"Exactly, Your Majesty is far-sighted and wise, and Wechen fully supports His Majesty's plan. It is even possible to deliberately appoint some suspicious Guanlong nobles to some important positions, so that they think that the time for rebellion has come and jump out themselves. Then His Majesty's army will kill again, so that the country can get rid of the internal cancer, and the Great Sui can also get long-term peace and stability! ”

Pei Ju's opinion gave Yang Guang a good reason to finally make up his mind to implement that plan. Moreover, he already had a target in mind that he felt was most likely to rebel. It's time to lay out for that goal.

Pei Ju was already ready to retire, but seeing that Yang Guang looked preoccupied, he didn't ask him to retreat, but he was slightly stunned. A gut instinct told him that Yang Guang should have something else to say.

At this time, Yang Guang drafted the plan and wrote the word "edict", and then put it into an envelope printed with the word "top secret".

Then he put down the pen and walked to the window with his hands behind his back, looking a little preoccupied. After the second expedition to Goryeo failed to achieve its purpose due to Yang Xuangan's rebellion, he was considering launching the first expedition to Goryeo. And made a lot of preparations for this, including sending Changsun Wuji and Yuming to envoy the Turks to relieve their own hidden dangers in the north.

Now that everything is fine, there are many voices in the DPRK and China opposing the expedition, which makes him very unhappy.

"Pei Aiqing, Lian is not willing to fight the last expedition to Goryeo!" Yang Guang sighed lightly and said.

Pei Ju was also determined in his heart, he knew that what Yang Guang had been planning was to conquer Goryeo and eliminate the threat of the Guanlongmen valve. And from Yang Guang's tone, he could judge that Yang Guang had the same idea as when he went on his first expedition to Goryeo, and combined two things into one. An attempt to both conquer Goryeo and weaken the strength of the Guanlongmen valve.

A flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, and he quickly thought of a countermeasure, and a countermeasure that would be beneficial to himself.

"Your Majesty, in fact, the minister has a strategy that can be used in conjunction with His Majesty's plan, and if it can be implemented well, His Majesty's goal can be achieved!"

When Yang Guang heard this, he immediately turned around, looked at him with interest and said, "Tell me in detail, how to use it?" ”

The thing that Pei Ju longs for most at this time is the chaos in the world. In this way, their Pei family can win in chaos. Now he and Pei Yun have obtained the real power in the DPRK and China in addition to Xiangguo, and Pei Renji and Pei Xingyan's father have mastered the military power. He had an army of nearly 100,000 men. This is the capital of the Pei family in the future.

If the time is ripe, they can enter the world, and they can assist the most promising people to become the masters of the world, and they can keep the Pei family rich and noble.

Therefore, Pei Ju knows better than anyone else that the current political situation in Dasui cannot be stable, and once the political situation stabilizes, his hope that the world will be in chaos will be disappointed.

"I don't know if Your Majesty has thought about it, why did Yang Xuangan rebel last year? You must know that he does not have any army at all, and he relies entirely on his own temporary recruitment of hungry people...... And the reason is that His Majesty left the capital, and the main force of the army went north to Liaodong, so he thought that the time had come. If this expedition to Goryeo, His Majesty will also leave the capital for a personal expedition. Chen believes that at this time, all the hidden rats and snakes will be ready to move. Pei Ju said with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Pei Aiqing, keep talking!" Yang Guang's eyes became bright, and Pei Ju's words completely spoke to his heart.

Pei Ju said at this time: "Your Majesty, the minister also advised Your Majesty to launch the first expedition to Goryeo, but what the minister meant: Your Majesty does not need to send more troops into Liaodong, and the main force will be stationed in Liaoxi after passing Zhuo County, and only send 200,000 troops to attack Goryeo." ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then added: "This is actually just a plan to lure the snake out of the hole, as long as there is a change among the nobles of Guanlong, Your Majesty can lead the main force back in time to suppress it." At the same time, it was also possible to let the other people of the Guanlong nobles who did not participate in the rebellion stay in Liaodong, and lead their headquarters to break off the army and defend against the pursuit of Goryeo. If he can win, he can be transferred back to the Central Plains. If the remaining Guanlong noble generals are defeated, it will be just time to hold him accountable, and it will be another opportunity to weaken his family's power! ”

Hearing this, Yang Guang's pupils immediately shrank into a line, flashing with an unconcealable appreciation, luring the snake out of the hole, and then dividing and conquering, killing two birds with one stone, killing two birds with one stone. It's a clever strategy.

He walked to the window with his hands behind his back, stared at the light outside the window, and finally felt a little moved.

He had long wanted to launch the First Battle of Goryeo and made a lot of preparations. Now that it is ready to fly, it has to be sent. Although both Empress Xiao and Yang Luoqi opposed him continuing to attack Goryeo. But he didn't listen to it at all, thinking that it was just a woman's kindness. Now, Pei Ju's suggestion pointed him to a new path, and let him see another better solution, which is undoubtedly the best strategy to lure the enemy into rebellion.

Of course, he still needs to think again, how to arrange this plan very carefully, so that people can not see the slightest flaw.

Pei Ju observed his words and knew that there was no need to say any more, as long as this general direction was established, Yang Guang would follow the direction he reminded, and things would happen naturally.

He then bowed and said, "It's getting late, so the minister won't disturb His Majesty's rest!" Wechen retires! ”

"Okay! Pei Aiqing should also have a good rest! Yang Guang said.

Pei Ju then retreated. When he walked out of the door of the imperial study, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Yang Guang was still careless. He didn't take the bandits and thieves who swarmed from all over the country to heart, and always thought that these mud legs couldn't shake his country. He is far from knowing how powerful the erosion is in Shandong, Hebei, Henan and other places. Moreover, such as Zhai Rang in Wagangzhai, Dou Jiande in Hebei, and Du Fuwei in Jianghuai, they all have a tendency to change into separatist forces. Maybe in another year or two, Yang Guang will find that the bandits he disdained at the beginning have become gravediggers of the Sui Dynasty.

"Zeng Province, call Wang Xiangguo over to me!" Yang Guang was completely sleepy at this time, and there was excitement in his eyes.

About an hour later, Wang Shichong, the new secretary of the military department, walked into the imperial study. He was originally a Hu person, but later changed his Han surname and served as the guard of Jiangdu. When he suppressed the rebel army in Jianghuai, he made great contributions. It is known as a rare general in the Great Sui, who can not only govern the local area, but also fight wars.

In the preparations for the last two expeditions to Goryeo, Wang Shichong spared no effort to mobilize the government soldiers and prepare grain and grass, which won the appreciation of the commanders of the participating troops. Because of this, he also won the trust of Yang Guang and entrusted him with the power of the military department.

"The minister Wang Shichong sees Your Majesty! Long live our emperor! Banzai! Hooray! Although Wang Shichong was a little sleepy-eyed, he still knelt down and kowtowed.

Yang Guang hurriedly told him to calm down, and then asked in a deep voice: "Wang Xiangguo, I want to know, how many troops can I still mobilize in the Great Sui now?" ”

After Wang Shichong thought for a while, Fang Zhengse said: "Your Majesty, after the last battle of Goryeo, there were still 400,000 soldiers in the north and 200,000 soldiers in the south. In addition, His Majesty's forbidden army still has 250,000, about 100,000 county soldiers in various places, and about 150,000 border army, adding up to about 100,000 people. ”

Yang Guang pondered for a moment in his heart, and then asked: "Then if the United Nations wants to attack Goryeo again, how many troops can be mobilized while ensuring the basic garrison capacity of various counties and counties?" ”
