"Today, we are here, standing under the monument of heroes, remembering our heroes, who are the ones who exchanged their blood for victory in this war! It is they who protect the safety of this city with their lives! It is they who protect their beloved compatriots with their souls! Yang Jun's words were heavy but firm.

"I, Yang Yin, have sworn to all the soldiers that I will pay tribute to every deceased martyr and erect a monument for them! I did it today! Their names are engraved on this stone tablet that will stand forever and will be revered for centuries. May their heroic spirits live forever, and I salute them on behalf of all the people of Qingzhou! After speaking, Yang Jun bowed deeply to the heroic monument that had just been erected and engraved with the names of the martyrs.

"Qiang~" The neat movements and voices came from the armored warriors below, and a deep bow contained how much affection, how many men who bled without tears, and shed tears on the earth at this moment.

How many people who have lost their sons, husbands, and fathers have burst into tears. It is not because of grief, but because of the pain that we can receive such respect and admiration after death.

"I once said to my soldiers that meritorious service must be rewarded, punishment must be punished, and those who sacrificed their lives for the country will be repaid, and now I reiterate my promise to my Qingzhou sons and people, as well as the martyrs! Those who sacrifice their lives for the country and for the protection of their compatriots will have their pensions increased fivefold, and their families will be exempted from paying taxes for ten years. This king can't chill the hearts of the martyrs, let alone thousands of families! Yang Xuan said this as if he was shouting.

"Roar! Roar! Roar~"Tens of thousands of soldiers were moved by these words, no one has ever regarded them as a soldier, they want to catch it, and no one will collect the bones after death, how do you know that there will be a person with the highest status to tell them, no, it is practice to show them, really value and cherish them.

"Willing to serve the prince! Willing to pay this life, swear to protect it! ”

"Defend to the death! Defend to the death! Someone below shouted, and all the soldiers then shouted.

"Defend to the death, protect our country, protect our nation, protect our compatriots, protect our faith!!"

After paying tribute to the martyrs, Yang made a post-war report, and at the same time announced and released some rewards.

Because of his bravery, Qin Qiong made outstanding contributions in the Battle of Changbai Mountain and the Battle of Chasing and Killing Wang Bo, and was directly promoted from Captain Zhaowu to General Ning Yuan under the Zhengwupin.

Luo Shixin was promoted to the rank of lieutenant of Zhenwei on the sixth rank for his bravery.

Xu Qing, Jin Yu, Han Qiang, and Yang Fan were promoted to the rank of General and Ranger General respectively.

Chen Jian was meritorious in defending the city, and Yang Jian was promoted as the Shangzhou Sima on the five products.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's official positions are too high, so they will temporarily note down their merits and reward them together when the time comes.

Li Jing was promoted by Yang Hui to the rank of loyal general on the fourth grade.

The rest of the people will be rewarded. It doesn't matter, but the money from the reward is spent like flowing water, and Xiao Shunzi's heart hurts to death. Forget to mention, on the third day after the end of the battle in Licheng, Xiao Shunzi came to Licheng from Jiyin City, of course, accompanied by the five hundred military craftsmen and the "master of alchemy" Qinghui County Lord.

On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head. The imperial capital, Daxing City, is staging a scene of sacrificial activities at the moment.

A high platform was built on the outskirts of Daxing at some point. At this moment, Emperor Yang Guang, who is the Emperor of the Ninety-Five, stands on the altar to worship heaven and earth. The ministers in the audience were neatly arranged, with solemn expressions, although they were usually majestic, but they did not dare to be disrespectful in the face of the gods. This year, there has been no rain in Daxing City after the New Year and into the first month, and even the day when the dragon raised its head is also a bright sun, and it is estimated that this year will not be very easy.

"The Son of Heaven burns incense, sacrifices to heaven and earth, and prays for blessings!" A star officer presided over the sacrifice.

Yang Guang worshiped heaven and earth according to the instructions of the star official, and the ministers in the audience also followed suit one by one.

"Since I ascended the throne, I have been sleeping all night, working hard for my Great Sui Yongxing, and I dare not slack off, hoping that all the gods will bless my Great Sui Dynasty!" Yang Guang said loudly with a solemn expression, facing the gods, even if he was the Son of Heaven, he would inevitably have a sense of awe. However, the people in the audience felt quite uncomfortable when they heard his words, it was good to sleep at night, but it was really hard work to be happy day and night.

"However, there is a country of Yelang, who refuses to obey my teachings, and repeatedly offends me to the sky, I will personally lead the brave expedition, and the king of a ring of Langlang Qiankun will be turned into a king, and I hope that the gods will bless it." Worshipping the heavens is one thing, but more importantly, it is for the conquest of Goryeo to mobilize and pray for the blessings of God.

"Goryeo has been taught many times, and he has not paid tribute this year, and I am very angry, and I will not extinguish the anger of Goryeo." Yang Guang said angrily.

"The last time I waved the army, I didn't make any achievements, and the elite of my dynasty suffered heavy losses, and my heart hurts. Now that a hundred countries are coming to the court, I am very relieved, and I will once again wave my army to shake the night, and hope that the soldiers of the three armies will use their lives to let the world see the elite division of our Great Sui. Three days later, the army sent to Goryeo! The ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens became Yang Guang's oath meeting.

In the spring of the ninth year of the Great Cause, the emperor went out of Daxing and sent troops to Goryeo. Thousands of miles of flags, Aya Luo paved the way, hundreds of officials saw them off, the harem beauties competed for beauty, and the envoys from various countries competed with each other, and the pomp and circumstance were extremely luxurious! It can really be said that Guo Chunfeng is ten miles, and the colorful flags are competing with each other.

The extravagant pomp, the swaggering behemoth team of the city, tens of thousands of elite riders open the way, marching on the official road from Daxing to Luoyang, and the pedestrians and chickens and dogs on the road compete to avoid.

Such a fancy team is not like going to battle, but more like the emperor going out on patrol and playing. At this time, Yang Guang no longer had the same spirit as when he swore his oath, and he took envoys from various countries to tour the mountains and rivers along the way, and the beauties of the harem played the flute every night. The original three-day journey actually walked for nearly half a month, and the states and counties along the way came to worship, but Yang Guang turned a deaf ear to this kind of disturbing voice.

After arriving in Luoyang, Yang Guang did not gather the armies originally assembled in Luoyang at the first time, and was still indulging in the pleasures of traveling in the mountains and rivers in the moon.

"Your Majesty, it's time to take care of yourself, and don't forget the purpose of our trip." Empress Xiao reminded carefully after seeing Yang Guang still indulging in wine-colored landscapes. Since Yang Guang ascended the throne, he has begun to expose his true nature, and he no longer obeys Empress Xiao. Although Empress Xiao's position is untouchable, she no longer dares to criticize Yang Guang, otherwise she will not let Yang Guang indulge in beauty, no matter what status she is, even if she is as noble as a queen of the world, she will be jealous.

"I save it, don't work for the queen to remind." Although Yang Guang replied, it was still a few days later, and only after visiting all the places in Luoyang that he began to meet with the leading generals from all walks of life and began to assign tasks.

At this time, on the official road from Licheng to Daxing, a ride was galloping.
