Chapter 271: Yu Wenhua and Escaped
、、、、、、、、、、
After losing his temper and breaking a lot of things in the palace, Yang Guang calmed down. What made him feel a little relieved was that Yuhuahe, the head of the Yu Valve, did not announce a rebellion at the same time, but issued a statement, saying that he and his son Yuming had a knife and two paragraphs and severed the relationship with his father.
However, this servant Siqing is no longer in the Eastern Capital, and he smelled a hint of danger as early as when the imperial court transferred Yuming from Liaodong back to the Eastern Capital. Two months ago, under the pretext of raising horses, he took his family to live in Jiangnan Ranch. The only ones left in the eastern capital were Yuming's wife, eldest grandson, Wuji, and his daughter, who had just been born.
Yang Guangzheng was angry, and immediately ordered Sun Chang Wuji to be arrested and imprisoned, and although her elder brother Sun Wuji was not arrested, he was also removed from the post of Honglu Temple Secretary and reduced to a civilian.
At the same time, Yang Guang also removed some officials who were close to Yu and transferred them to remote areas. lest these people follow Yuming to make trouble.
However, everyone knows that Yuming's biggest capital lies in his control of Liaodong, the sad land of the Great Sui.
In that year, the Shengshang conquered Goryeo and dispatched 10,000 men and horses to fail to capture the Liaodong region, and now it has an army of 100,000 and a population of more than 20,000. The strength is stronger than the original Goryeo. If the Holy Lord attacks Goryeo again, what are the chances of victory?
On the streets of the eastern capital, the price of grain, vegetables, fruits and other foods has more than quadrupled. There are also far fewer pedestrians on the streets than before. Many wealthy people have fled to the countryside and Xiangyang in the south, Chang'an in the west, and Jiangdu in the southeast. Everyone is afraid that Yang Guang will come to Liaodong again, and no one can afford it.
At the court meeting, everyone was silent. In the end, it was Wei Xuan who broke the dullness. He took out a piece of music and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, Liaodong sent someone to see the old minister, and entrusted the old minister to submit the music on his behalf, hoping to release the eldest grandson's innocent mother and daughter." Yuming said that as long as his family could be allowed to reunite in Liaodong. He is still loyal to the Great Sui, and if the imperial court orders him to go to the Turks, he will never shirk it! ”
After Yang Guang heard this, he was immediately furious, slapped the handle of the dragon chair and said, "What does he mean by this?" Are you threatening me? If I don't let go of the eldest grandson, the innocent mother and daughter, will he have to rebel? ”
Wei Xuan didn't dare to raise his head, so he could only say tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Yuming has also made a lot of military exploits before, especially the destruction of Goryeo, Jihe and Silla this time, which can be regarded as a great contribution to the country. And the eldest grandson Wujian and the others, there is no harm in it, let them go to Liaodong, and let Yuming remove those provocative slogans of 'Qing monarch side, traitorous ministers', and continue to be loyal to His Majesty. It is expected that the crisis will be calmed down. ”
Yang Guang became even more angry when he heard this, and shouted loudly: "Wei Xuan, do you want me to beg Yuming for mercy?" ”
Wei Xuan was startled and didn't dare to say anything.
After a while, Yang Guangfang calmed down the anger in his heart, and said with a blushing face: "What do you Aiqing think about this matter?" ”
Pei Ju coughed dryly twice and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, although the number of the Liaodong Army is as high as 100,000, they are trapped outside the Great Wall, General Luo Yi of Beiping Mansion, and his Youzhou Iron Cavalry is famous and famous, and as long as the Zhuojun Pass is guarded, it will be difficult for the Liaodong Army to attack the pass." As long as we give our army half a year, we will be able to gather more than 500,000 troops in Hebei, and at that time, under the grace and power of the Holy Lord, I think there are only a few people in the Liaodong army who are willing to rebel with Yuming. They may fall into disarray and collapse from within. ”
However, Fan Gai was a little worried when he heard this: "The saint must not be careless! Weichen heard from General Yu that the Liaodong Army took over the warships of our army that were abandoned on the banks of the Yalu River and the seashore when they attacked Goryeo before. Now a Liaodong Navy Division has been created. When they attacked Silla, they landed by sea and routed the Silla army in one fell swoop. If General Luo is only allowed to hold the Zhuojun Pass, but ignores that they can transport soldiers and war horses from the sea to the back of the defenders to land, then the situation of our army will be critical! ”
When the ministers heard this, they immediately changed color. If Yuming led the army to land from Shandong and then attack Hebei from the south, wouldn't Luo Yi be dumpled? And now there are many bandits in Henan, Shandong, and Hebei, and Wang Bo, Zhai Rang, Dou Jiande and others are getting more and more powerful, and the imperial army has taken care of one and the other. If you gather heavy troops and fight with the Liaodong army, even if you can defeat it, will the imperial court still have the strength to extinguish the rebel rebels in Guannai?
Yang Guang also frowned at this time, obviously he also thought of this. It's just that he didn't want to extinguish the bandits, in his opinion, those were mud-legged rebellions, and they couldn't be atmospheric, and what he was worried about was affecting his plan to attack the Turks.
Yu Shiji had a flash of inspiration in his mind at this moment, and he had an idea. He came out and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen was born in Jiangnan and knows the situation in his hometown better. In the Jiangnan area, the shipbuilding industry is very developed. Since Yuming's Liaodong Army can use warships to transport troops to the rear of our army, then our army can also concoct the same method, build a fleet, transport troops to land on the Liaodong Peninsula, and catch the Liaodong Army by surprise. ”
His words made Yang Guang and the ministers all eyes light up, and secretly thought that this was a good way.
Pei Yun also said happily: "Lord Yu is really clever. The ships left by our army in Liaodong were all built at the Jiangdu Shipyard. Now you can order shipyards all over the south of the Yangtze River to build ships immediately, and then order General Luo Yi to guard Zhuojun on the one hand, and transport an elite army to land in Liaodong on the other. At the same time, you can also send someone to pretend to appease Yuming's traitor. With such a two-pronged approach, we will definitely be able to exterminate this Liaodong rebel army! ”
After Yang Guang heard this, he twisted his long beard under his chin, and said with a smile: "Yu Aiqing is really good at planning......
At this time, he turned his head to the side and said to Pei Yun: "This negotiation will be entrusted to Pei Aiqing!" Aiqing can set off immediately and go to Liaodong City to negotiate with him, and be sure to buy time for the imperial court! ”
Pei Yun's face was as pale as earth, and he didn't dare to take the order.
Seeing this, Pei Ju hurriedly said: "Holy Lord, the younger brother Pei Yun is rebellious and hateful to Nayu. As soon as he arrives in Liaodong, I am afraid that he will be angry and denounce his crimes. And Yuming is ruthless, just afraid that he will assassinate his brother. It's not a pity for my brother to die, I'm afraid that I won't be able to complete the task assigned by His Majesty! ”
As soon as he said this, Yang Guangfang suddenly woke up to the fact that Pei Ju and Pei Yun had a deep enmity with Yuming, and the Liaodong Army was in trouble, and the banner was that Pei's traitorous ministers were causing chaos in the dynasty. If he also sent Pei Yun to Liaodong, wouldn't that be equivalent to sending Pei Yun to Yuming to kill?
So, Yang Guangfang coughed dryly twice and said, "Since this is the case, then let Yu Aiqing take a trip." Aiqing is going, there is no need to have a verbal dispute with the traitor, just drag him down! ”
Yu Shiji had no choice but to bow down and receive his life.
Subsequently, Yang Guang said to Fan Gai: "The matter of building a battleship will be handed over to Fan Aiqing." Before the end of the year, we must build a fleet that can transport 100,000 soldiers, and after the Chinese New Year, our army will launch an offensive to fight against Liaodong and quell civil strife! ”
Fan Gai thought to himself, there is only a month left until the end of the year, and in such a short period of time, to build a warfleet that can transport 100,000 people at one time, I don't know how many migrant workers will be recruited and how many materials will be mobilized. Nowadays, the chaotic places are mainly in the north. But if there is such a large-scale collection of people and shipbuilding materials in Jiangnan, I am afraid that Jiangnan will also be in chaos. Can the world of the Great Sui be kept?
However, at this juncture, he didn't dare to argue with Yang Guang, and the fate of Gao Ying, Li Hun, and Su Wei was there.
Fan Gai had no choice but to nod and say, "The minister will do his best!" ”
"Good! Is there anyone else doing something now? If it's okay, it's gone! Yang Guang got up at this time and said.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something important to do!" An official standing at the back of the column said.
The ministers looked at it fixedly, and saw that this person was Lu Chu, the young secretary of Honglu Temple, and he would not have been able to speak at this kind of court meeting. But now Sun Wuji, the secretary of Honglu Temple, has been dismissed from his position, so he, the young secretary, temporarily takes over the affairs of Honglu Temple, so he also has the right to participate in this court meeting.
"Lu Chu, what's the matter?" Yang Guang asked with a yawn.
"Your Majesty, the Great Food Envoy Mubashaf sent a messenger yesterday, saying that they have passed through the Eastern County and will arrive in the Eastern Capital tomorrow, according to the messenger, Mubashaf has the full authorization of the Great Food King this time, and will negotiate with our Great Sui about the trade of weapons and war horses." Lu Chu kowtowed and said.
"What? He's finally here! When Yang Guang heard this, his spirits were immediately lifted, he knew the sharpness of the Great Eating War Horse and the Black Steel Knife. He has always been secretly thinking, if his soldiers are all riding Arab war horses and holding Damascus black steel swords, where is he still worried about the Turks not being destroyed? Where is there any need to worry about the rebellion of these nobles.
Lu Chu nodded, and then said with a bitter face: "It's just a coincidence, in addition to the Great Food Country sent an envoy, another big country in the Western Regions, the Byzantine Empire, also sent an envoy, and also said that it would ally with our Great Sui." The Byzantine Empire was at war with the Great Food Nation, and the two countries had been fighting for decades. The minister is worried that if these two envoys bump into each other, I am afraid that something will happen......"
"Haha! What are you afraid of? It's just that the two of them are sworn enemies together! After Yang Guang heard this, he laughed and said: "Since both of them want to form an alliance with our Great Sui, then in the negotiations, we can pretend to sign a contract with Byzantium to pressure the Great Food to make concessions; It is also possible to put pressure on the Byzantine alliance when negotiations with Byzantium reach an impasse. This is exactly what we were looking for! ”
When Yang Guang said this, Lu Chu and the ministers present suddenly realized.
Pei Ju immediately said with a wicked smile: "Your Majesty Shengming, the minister has one more suggestion: let these two envoys live in the post station, in the two courtyards facing each other, and let them play against each other!" ”
The ministers immediately let out a burst of laughter, and the haze and worry of Yuming's previous division of Liaodong were swept away.
Yang Guang also smiled and said, "What Master Pei said is true!" Lu Chu, you have done so! By the way, when did the Byzantine emissaries arrive? It's best to have them arrive at the same time! They all know each other's existence. ”
Amid the laughter of the ministers, the court meeting finally ended.
