Five days later, most of the Goryeo army had crossed the Yalu River, and only Uljideok and part of the Broken Rear Army were still holding out at the ferry crossing north of the Yalu River.

And the Sui army was also exhausted and unable to fight again. So Yuming led the army to slowly retreat to Liaodong City.

At this time, the one-month stay period had already passed, and he finally successfully completed the post-break task assigned by Yang Guang.

Yu Ming ordered the whole army to rest and recuperate, and at the same time sent fast horses to report the battle situation in Liaodong to Yang Guang in an urgent way of eight miles, and he wanted to ask for credit for his soldiers.

With a strength of more than 10,000 people, even with the 20,000 Minzhuang that was later expanded, there were only 50,000 people, and the Goryeo army, which was twice as large as itself, fought a bloody battle for a month, and finally won a great victory. The Goryeo army was unable to launch another attack on Liaodong City.

Now they don't want to say that they will keep it for a month, but it will not be a problem to keep it for another half a year.

It's just that Yang Guang's previous combat mission only proposed: to let them hold on to Liaodong for a month. After a month, whether they would withdraw or stay, they did not say. Therefore, Yuming did not dare to retreat without authorization, so he could only stand by and wait for the notice.

What Yuming didn't expect was that he had waited for more than a month without any news. In desperation, he had no choice but to train his soldiers and horses every day, familiarize himself with the battle formation, and accumulate experience for future operations.

……

One day in September, Yu Ming was in a dense forest outside Liaodong City, and a group of brothers were cutting martial arts, and now only Wei Chi Jingde could compete with him in the army, and other generals were no longer his opponents. As for archery, it is Yuming's specialty, even Wei Chi Jingde can't be as powerful as him.

"No more playing! Boss, you're amazing at archery! I can't compare! Guo Yi said with a sad face.

He competed with Yuming in archery, to see who shot more birds in a pillar of incense, but who knew that Yuming could shoot arrows at the same time, and the arrows hit the birds.

Although Guo Yi shoots arrows faster than him, he can only shoot one arrow at a time, and there is no guarantee that the arrow will hit.

When the time for a pillar of incense came, Guo Yi shot less than one-half of the birds killed by Yuming. How does this make him not frustrated?

"Hehe, Yi, archery practice depends on talent, you were originally a samurai known for melee combat, and it is quite good to be able to practice archery to this extent! I'm not as strong as you are. We all have our own strengths. Yu Ming smiled slightly, patted Guo Yi's shoulder, and comforted him.

Guo Yi sighed, feeling a lot better in his heart.

At this moment, a knight rushed to the outside of the forest, and he immediately shouted eagerly: "General Yu, the holy decree from the Eastern Capital has arrived!" ”

When the generals heard this, they were all overjoyed, seeing that it was autumn, and there was no news yet, but they had already wanted to go home.

"That's the end of today's hunting and jousting! Let's go back to town at once! Let's see what news His Majesty's decree has brought us! Yuming also said with a happy face.

As soon as he returned to the city guard mansion in Liaodong City, Yu Ming hurriedly ordered someone to set up the incense case, and then asked the envoy to read out the holy decree.

And this envoy was none other than Yue Zengxing, Yuming's old acquaintance, who was swaggering with a golden scroll at this time, walked to the incense case and slowly unfolded it.

"Fengtian transported, the emperor summoned and said: I am very happy to hear that the general of Yingyanglang and the main general of the broken army, Yuming, defeated the Goryeo thief division and successfully held the city of Liaodong. Special commendation to the soldiers of Liaodong! Feng Yuming is the general of Zuo Lingwei and the general of Hu Benlang. Feng Luo became the governor of Beiping Mansion, Wei Chi Jingde, Lin Mo, and Guo Yi were the generals of the chariot riders, and the eldest grandson Wuji was the Huangmen squire! Other meritorious soldiers will be upgraded, and they will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver! Chin this! Yue Zeng said in a slow and orderly voice.

When the generals heard this, they were overjoyed and shouted, "Hurrah! Banzai! Hooray! ”

Then Yu Ming hurriedly and respectfully accepted the holy decree.

He was also very happy in his heart, the Sui army implemented the government military system, and established twelve prefectures: that is, the left and right guards, the left and right military guards, the left and right military marquis, the left and right leaders, the left and right prison gates, and the left and right leaders, etc., to command all the internal and external guards. Each province has one general and two generals, and has jurisdiction over hussars and chariots. The generals of the twelve prefectures belonged directly to the emperor, and the soldiers were generally called chamberlains.

At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, the number of generals at all levels in the military government increased compared with that of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, while the position was generally lowered by two or two ranks. These changes greatly strengthened the control of the Sui central power under Yang Jian over the army. After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he changed the twelve mansions in the early Sui Dynasty into the left and right Yiwei, the left and right cavalry guards, the left and right military guards, the left and right tun guards, the left and right imperial guards, the left and right Hou Wei and the left and right guard mansions, and the left and right guard mansions and other four mansions, collectively referred to as the Sixteen Wei Mansion. And his grandfather Yushu is the general of Zuo Lingwei's soldiers.

The hussar mansions under the jurisdiction of each province were also renamed Eagle Yang Mansion, and the soldiers were renamed Guards. The Sixteenth Guard Mansion is the central military guard organ, commanding the whole team. This is different from the Shangshu Provincial Military Department, which is only in charge of military administration and does not have the power of a single soldier. Each of the twelve guards has a general, two generals, and the army is divided. The four prefectures do not unify the government soldiers, and each has one general, and several people in Zhizhai or Zhige. The Reserve Mansion is in charge of the left and right guards, and the Prison Mansion is in charge of the guards.

Now that he has become General Zuo Lingwei, it means that he is only one level lower than his grandfather in the military. This is also a positive military position, at his age, to be able to hold such an important military position, it can be said that it is a very rare appointment since the establishment of the Great Sui.

And Luo Cheng became the lieutenant of Beiping Mansion, which is also a pretty good position. This is the official position of Zhengsi, and it is the local military position second only to the history of the assassin.

Moreover, Luo Cheng's father Luo Yi also served in Beiping, and the two fathers served in the same place, and they were both important positions, which shows Yang Guang's trust in Luo's father.

What made Yuming even happier was that Wei Chi Jingde, Guo Yi and Lin Mo had also obtained the military positions of Che Cailang generals, which could be regarded as the official establishment of the government soldiers.

"General Yu! Congratulations! Yue Zeng said with a smile.

Yu Ming hurriedly walked up, held his hand tightly, and then quietly stuffed a heavy bag into Yue Zengxing's hand, and then said in a low voice: "Father-in-law, this is a little bit of heart from the young generals and front-line soldiers to Father-in-law. My father-in-law worked hard and made great achievements, and he came all the way from the eastern capital, which was really hard. Laugh it off! ”

Yue Zeng weighed this heavy bag, and secretly thought in his heart, such a heavy and small thing, I am afraid that there is ** gold in ten, and in terms of weight, I am afraid that there are ten taels.

He was overjoyed all of a sudden, and he felt more pleasing to the eye when he looked at Yuming. However, he pretended to shirk and said, "How is this embarrassing? The front-line soldiers are not well-off......"

However, although Yue Zengxing was polite, he didn't mean to return the bag to Yuming in his hand.

Yu Ming smiled slightly, secretly thinking that this old eunuch was really hypocritical. He hurriedly stuffed the bag of gold into Yue Zeng's pocket, and then pretended to be angry and said: "Father-in-law, if you don't accept it, you will look down on me Yuming and the front-line soldiers!" ”

After Yue Zeng Province heard this, Fang Haha smiled, finally accepted the gold, and then patted Yu Ming on the shoulder and said, "General Yu, you are as generous as your grandfather. I think that the position of the head of the Yu family in the future will be mostly yours...... I guess you don't know yet, Ling Zu made great contributions in the war to exterminate Yang Xuangan, and has been promoted to the secretary of the military department! ”

"Ahh Grandpa was promoted to the secretary of the military department? Isn't that officially the cabinet minister? When Yu Ming heard this, he was also surprised and delighted.

"Hehe, your father finally became a servant as he wished." Yue Zengxing said with a smile.

Yu Ming hurriedly made a "please" gesture at this time and said: "Father-in-law, please also come to the hall for a banquet, and the end will be a baptism for your father-in-law!" ”

Yue Zeng nodded, and then entered the banquet side by side with Yu Ming. Wei Chi Jingde, Luo Cheng, Guo Yi, Lin Mo and others also accompanied him.

After the wine patrol, Yue Zeng Province told Yuming and others about what had happened in the Central Plains in the past few months. Especially when it comes to Yang Xuangan's rebellion from prosperity to decline, and finally being exterminated, it makes the generals prick up their ears to listen.

It turned out that after Yang Xuangan raised troops in Liyang, he closed the gate of the county town and set up his own official office here, according to Yang Jian's management methods during the Kaihuang period, to govern the territory under his control, so as to show that he was different from those peasant rebels.

Immediately afterwards, he sent them to the surrounding states and counties, and in the name of crusading against Yang Guang, the faint king, they sent troops to meet at the location of the granary.

Yuan Wuben, the lieutenant of Dongguang County, who surrendered to him, was named the Assassin of Lizhou by Yang Xuangan, Zhao Huaiyi was named the Assassin of Weizhou, and Tang Yi, the chief of Hanoi County, was named the Assassin of Huaizhou, and tens of thousands of people under his control had gathered.

Li Mi offered him a plan at this time, thinking: According to Youzhou in the north, after Yang Guang is broken, it is the best policy; entered Chang'an in the west, occupied Tongguan (now northeast of Tongguan, Shaanxi), and fought a war of attrition with the Sui Dynasty as the middle policy; If you attack the eastern capital of Luoyang nearby, the outcome is unpredictable, and it is possible to suffer the enemy on your back.

However, Yang Xuangan thought that Li Mi's next strategy was the best plan. He led his troops to cross the river from Ji County (now east of Qi County, Henan) and besieged the eastern capital Luoyang. At this time, Tang Yi, who was originally valued by him very much, suddenly betrayed Yang Xuangan. After this person arrived in Hanoi, he immediately ran to the eastern capital and reported Yang Xuangan's rebellion to the officials who stayed behind.

Yang Tong, the king of Yue who stayed behind in the eastern capital, was very afraid, but Jingzhao Yin Fan Gai was calm and calm, and deployed troops to defend. Organize local surnames to defend Linqing Pass together, Yang Xuangan attacked many times but still could not cross the river, so he crossed the Yellow River in the south of Ji County, because he hit one to open a warehouse and release grain, plus everyone was disappointed in Yang Guang, and there were many people who rebelled, and there has been an endless stream.

A few days after Yang Xuangan raised his troops, the army marched into Henan County, and the number reached more than 100,000. Fan Gai ordered Pei Hongce, the defender of Henan County, to resist desperately, but Pei Hongce's soldiers were outnumbered, and after fighting Yang Xuangan, he was quickly defeated. The fathers and villagers of Henan County were impressed by Yang Xuangan's release of grain to help the people, coupled with the prestige of his father Yang Su, and they all competed to send cattle and wine to comfort Yang Xuangan's army.
