As soon as the mobilization for the war was issued, the whole country responded, if it weren't for Yang Jin's failure to issue a conscription order, otherwise many people would want to sign up for the army. More importantly, Yang Jun's army is not the previous unorganized and undisciplined army, this is the real king division, a king who does nothing to the people.

Of course, the reason for the people's response is that this campaign is for the reunification of the country, although the reunification of the country has nothing to do with the desperate people, but at least it is a just war, and there is no food from the people, which is the reason for the people's support.

Under Yang Xuan's order, the war machine of the whole country began to operate, and soldiers and horses from all over the country began to gather in Luoyang, and the official road leading to Luoyang was bustling again, on the one hand, the troops who came to Luoyang to gather, and on the other hand, the officials who went to various places to take office after watching the ceremony from Luoyang and the people who returned home.

The troops drawn this time mainly include the army of Yang Yichen in Hebei Province and the army of Zhang Xutuo in Henan Province, and the army of Licheng has also been completely withdrawn, and it is estimated that the strength of Luoyang will reach 35 to 400,000 by then.

A few days later, the troops from all over the country finally gathered in Luoyang City, in order not to cause trouble to the people in Luoyang City, the army was forbidden to enter the city, after all, Luoyang has been wars several times, and the nerves of the people can no longer withstand such stimulation. In the past few days, Tu Qu Tong finally took Wu Wei and controlled the entire Hexi at the same time, so Li Yuan could deal with Yang Xuan's attack without worries. After seeing Yang Xuan's letter, Li Liang understood the meaning of it, and simply led people to flee to the Western Regions.

"I didn't think that Luoyang could still have such prosperity, and I thought that I would never see it again in my lifetime!" Yang Yichen walked on the streets of Luoyang, looking at the bustling crowd, there are hawkers, there are jugglers, the most important thing is that there is no worry on people's faces, compared to the great cause of nine years, it is still more than that, compared with the withering of people's livelihood seen along the way, Luoyang is simply a paradise on earth, and it is not an exaggeration to call it paradise. War is dead, basically after every major turmoil, it is ten rooms and nine emptiness, but fortunately, this turmoil is not so serious, but it is almost to the point of ten rooms and five emptiness, even if Yang Yin promulgated a series of policies that are conducive to people's livelihood, but it is not so quick to take effect.

Yang Yichen sighed like this, and the guards around him also felt the same way, they followed Yang Yichen to follow Yang Xuan to conquer Goryeo, and then went down to the south of the Yangtze River to fight against the Turks, and there was also a certain amount of what they had seen and heard, I heard that there was no place in the world that could allow the people to live so peacefully except for Licheng, although Hebei did not go through the warlord melee, but there were also rebels when Wang Bo rebelled, although it was finally suppressed, but it still caused a lot of turmoil. In particular, Hebei is a land of hard labor, and the heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes have made the people miserable, and many people have long become refugees.

"General Zhang!" Just when Yang Yichen was looking around, a familiar figure suddenly came into view, and it turned out that Zhang Xutuo was also in Luoyang.

"It turned out to be the prince of Qinghe!" When Zhang Xutuo heard someone calling him, he looked back, and it turned out to be Yang Yichen, who had several faces, and walked over.

"The general is outside, if the general can afford to call me Lao Yang, it's okay, haha!" Although Yang Yichen is the second rank of the county prince in the lord, but the actual position is from the third rank of the right guard general, and the view of Yang Yichen is the history of the Yanzhou Thorn, is the history of the Shangzhou Thorn, the official residence is the third grade, and concurrently serves as the general of the right guard, the doctor of Yinqing Guanglu, so that the official positions of the two are almost equal, and they both belong to the right guard camp, so Yang Yichen will be so enthusiastic.

Although Yang Yichen and Zhang Xutuo do not have a deep friendship, but now they are both the new emperor's courtiers, not to mention that Zhang Xutuo's ability Yang Yichen knows, the generals are not as intriguing as the literati, the generals are basically in a group, love and hate are clear, not to mention that the two of them are not the original team of Yang Xuan's start, they can be regarded as halfway to work, so Yang Yichen will be more sympathetic.

"In that case, then Suda is disrespectful and calls General Yang." Zhang Xutuo is a lot younger than Yang Yichen, and it is a little strange to call Yang Yichen Lao Yang, he is not Cheng Biting Jin's goods, he directly takes a bite of an old Dou Lao Luo, and that is just a title between them of similar age.

"When did General Zhang arrive in Luoyang? Why didn't you see the army? Yang Yichen asked.

"I just arrived today, and I was about to meet Your Majesty, and Your Majesty ordered the army not to disturb the people, so I stationed outside the east gate. When did General Yang arrive, and have you seen Your Majesty? "The two of them came with a large army from the south and the north, one stationed outside the north gate of Luoyang and the other outside the east gate, so they did not know.

"No, I also arrived today, and I was about to see Your Majesty, but I couldn't help but stay for a while when I saw that Luoyang was so prosperous, why don't I go to meet Your Majesty together, how about it?" Yang Yichen proposed.

"That's what I mean!" Zhang Xutuo has a strong and upright personality and is not good at talking, so he doesn't have many friends, and now there is someone who is willing to communicate, of course, he can't ask for it. The two went to see Yang Jun hand in hand, but Yang Jun was busy with the affairs of the expedition and reviewing various documents, so he just encouraged them a few words, let them take care of the soldiers under their tent and sent them away, after all, there would be some arrangements at that time.

"Seeing Your Majesty working so hard is really a blessing for the people!" Yang Yichen sighed that he had been by Yang Guang's side for a long time, and knew that Yang Guang had never worked so hard for the world. It is no wonder that Yang Yong was able to basically reunify the Great Sui in just two years.

"Yes, speaking of which, I decided to follow it when I saw Licheng under His Majesty's governance, but I didn't expect that it would be almost two years now." Zhang Xutuo was also glad that he chose to follow Yang Jun at that time, otherwise he would have been either wiped out or would have returned to his home now. "I don't know if the general knows which restaurant in Luoyang is better, let's go and sit together." Zhang Xutuo asked, he was not familiar with Luoyang.

"In the past, there were still a few places, but now I really can't find a better restaurant!" Yang Yichen is right, Luoyang has been warped several times, and today's Luoyang is not the Luoyang of the past, and he does not dare to guarantee whether the former restaurant can be preserved.

"In that case, then you have to find an acquaintance. Go, take this to the military department, see if Cheng Yanjin is there, and say that I, Zhang Xutuo, am not familiar with the place in Luoyang, let him lead the way! Zhang Xutuo took out his token and asked the guards to go to the military department to find Cheng Yanjin, Li Jing is now the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, although there have been some exchanges, but he didn't dare to invite someone to lead the way, Cheng Yanjin is different, how to say that he also cooperated with the attack on Xu Yuanlang, and he is an old acquaintance.

"It seems that Sutuo still has some ways, and even the beloved generals around His Majesty have some friendships." Yang Yichen said, in addition to being able to say a few words to Pei Ju, who is also an old minister, Yang Jun's new group of civil and military generals has no friendship with him.

"There have been a few cooperations, in fact, these young generals around Your Majesty are very good people, and they are also very learning people, the experience of the general is definitely a huge guarantee for them, I dare to say that as long as the general is willing to communicate with them, then they will be respected." What Zhang Xutuo said is true, Yang Yong's love is not from a famous family, but Yang Yong spares no effort to cultivate them, they also know the gap between themselves and others, so they usually work hard to learn, especially the veterans of the previous generation are a shortcut for them to learn from experience.

"Haha, I said which General Zhang rushed to the military headquarters to find me Lao Cheng to lead the way, it turned out to be Lao Zhang, let's go, Xianfulou, I Lao Cheng has a treat." Cheng Yanjin laughed when he saw Zhang Xutuo from afar, although he was a big member, but his personality still hadn't changed, he called himself Lao Cheng, and even called Zhang Xutuo Lao Zhang, but Zhang Xutuo knew that Cheng Yanjin was a person, and he didn't care, but felt quite kind.

"I don't know who this is?!" Seeing that there was a veteran in his fifties and sixties beside Zhang Xutuo, he looked like the kind of person who had been on the battlefield for a long time, and he was standing side by side with Zhang Xutuo, and Cheng Jingang's hand to put on Zhang Xutuo's shoulder stopped.

"This is the county prince of Qinghe, the general of the right guard." Zhang Xutuo introduced.

"But Yang Yichen, Old General Yang? Disrespectful, disrespectful! Cheng Biting Jin changed his ruffian nature just now, and arched towards Yang Yichen with his fists, Yang Yichen is a general of the older generation, and Cheng Jin has to be respected.

"Since the two generals found me Lao Cheng as soon as they came to Luoyang, it was my blessing, and today I Lao Cheng will invite the two generals to taste the delicious food of Luoyang. But call Pei Xingyan's others together, there are more people, and the two generals have no opinion! Cheng Yanjin asked, although he seems to be very bold, but these two are people who can be his father or grandfather, it is estimated that he will definitely not be able to let go of it when the time comes, it is better to call a few more people together.

"It's okay, it's up to you to bite the gold, and the guest is up to the host!" If you can get to know more people, why not do it?

Cheng Yanjin took Zhang Xutuo and Yang Yichen to Xianfulou, the largest restaurant in Luoyang, and asked for a box, seeing the boss's careful appearance, he knew that Cheng Yanjin often came, and it was estimated that he had made trouble, otherwise the boss would not be so afraid of him, of course, there were also Zhang Xutuo and Yang Yichen's reasons, both of them were Rong Jia to meet Yang Jun, and now he didn't have time to change into casual clothes and followed Cheng Yanjin over, who is the owner of the restaurant, I have seen a lot of dignitaries and nobles, and my vision is still good, As soon as he saw the two generals in armor, he knew that they were high-ranking generals, not to mention that there was a person he couldn't afford to provoke, so he couldn't help but accidentally scout.

After a while, Pei Xingyan came over, accompanied by Xue Wanche and Xue Wanjun brothers and Wang Junke.

"I've seen General Yang and General Zhang!" The four of them hurriedly saluted when they saw the two generals, Zhang and Yang, these two people were considered star-level figures in the hearts of the soldiers, and they were still the people they needed to worship.

"You're welcome, sit down, bite the gold today, let's let him have a good blood!" Zhang Xutuo greeted casually, so that these people did not have to be restrained.

"That's a good dare, Lao Cheng pretends to be drunk every time, and he has to be slaughtered today!" As soon as Pei Xingyan said this, the other three all nodded, it seems that Cheng Biting Jin really has a habit of relying on accounts.

"By the way, my father and General Li said they would come over later!" Pei Xingyan's words shocked everyone, it is rare to drink tea and drink with these two military bigwigs to ask for military advice, but I didn't expect to be so blessed today to be able to listen to the words and deeds of the four military bigwigs, which made the Xue brothers and Wang Junke cry out in surprise, and Zhang Yang and the two also felt the same way.

Sure enough, Li Jing and Pei Renji both came later, and the atmosphere of their arrival reached the highest, but Cheng Yanjin put away the ruffian in front of Li Jing, but it did not affect the atmosphere, several young people kept asking the four seniors, and occasionally listened to the seniors' opinions and teachings in military affairs.

"I don't know how Your Majesty will use troops this time?" Seeing that the sky was a little dark, Yang Yichen felt that it was time to return to the army, otherwise the gang of soldiers and ruffians might not be able to stop and make some trouble, but before leaving, he had to ask about the situation of this dispatch.

"This is Your Majesty's personal expedition, and General Pei and I are the deputies, and we are going to fight the last battle against Li Yuan and Xiao Miao. If nothing else, the two generals followed His Majesty to conquer Li Yuan, after all, the soldiers and horses of the two generals were all from the north, and they were not familiar with the terrain of the south. "What Li Jing said is basically Yang Yan's plan, Xiao Milling can't last long, although Xiao Milling claims to have 200,000 troops, but there are only 100,000 people who can fight, and even fewer can fight against Xu Shiji and Zhou Faxing's soldiers, so Yang Yichen and Zhang Xutuo are used to deal with Li Yuan.

"This time, Your Majesty has made a great determination to transfer all the troops of eight or nine out of ten in the country to deal with Li Yuan and Xiao Miao, in order to complete the battle in one battle, and the pace of reunification is unstoppable." Hearing Li Jing's words, everyone knew Yang Xuan's determination this time, and Pei Xingyan and the others were even more active in their hearts, since it was the last battle, that is to say, if they were not allowed to participate in the war this time, they didn't know when they would have a chance in the future.

"Father, the child wants to fight!" Pei Xingyan finally stood up and said. The rest of the people also looked at Pei Renji and Li Jing, waiting for their answers.

"Don't worry, you will all have a chance, this large-scale expedition, except for the first emperor's destruction of Nanchen and the expedition to Goryeo, this time you will all have the opportunity to go to the battlefield, so you have to seize it, this will be the world of your young people in the future, we are all old!" Pei Renji sighed, from Yang Jun's words, he could clearly hear that Yang Jun was not satisfied with the original territory of the Great Sui at all, and there were many opportunities to fight in the future, but that might not have a chance with them, and when they were old, they should let their young people gallop.

Pei Renji's words, Yang Yichen is even more sympathetic, he is close to the sixtieth birthday, his health is getting worse, if it is not the last battle to unify the world this time, it is estimated that he will not personally lead the army to Luoyang, he is already a county prince, and he can be regarded as a marquis, there is no need to stare at such a little military exploits. In contrast, Luo Yi and Su Dingfang are more suitable for the battle, and they need this credit more.
