Chapter 91: Emperor Wen Xu moved the Hedong soldiers Yang Su recommended the prince to supervise the army

"Hmmm! The Tugu Hun is better than the Turks, and the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, and it is very likely that he will rob me of Wuwei. Wuwei has few soldiers and a wide range of defenses, although there are famous generals of our dynasty guarding Zhongwen, but it is inevitable that there will be losses. This king will be the emperor of Shu's father, and then I can use the new army in Hedong to attack Tuyuhun, and I can go down in one fell swoop, and this king can also earn some credit. Hehe! The order went down, and let Tuyuhun make a detailed reconnaissance horse to report the time of Tuyuhun's troops, the number of troops, and the attack route. There is also a topographical map of the country of Tuyuhun for the king, and the number of garrisons in each city of the king must be clear. "Yang Er and Liu Wenjing, Yu Wenhua and think differently, in Yang Er's eyes, this is an opportunity sent by Tuyuhun, and it is a good opportunity for him to earn political capital. Of course, his 200,000 new troops have not really fought in actual combat, and they also need a medium-intensity war to train their troops, so that the soldiers can see blood.

A day later, an urgent letter requesting the Tugu Hun Department was sent from the palace of the king of Jin in Hedong and sent directly to the palace of the king of Jingshi Jin to stay in Taifu Yuwenshu. Yang Er let his teacher Yuwen talk about it in front of him during the court discussion.

At this time, the Tuyuhun Kingdom, located in the west of the Great Sui Dynasty, had already ushered in the first heavy snow of this winter, and the vast hundreds of miles were snow-white and uninhabited. Tuyuhun originally belonged to a branch of Xianbei in Liaodong, and was reorganized in the process of the Xianbei tribe in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties periods, and then migrated for a long time, and after a long period of time, it settled in Qinghai and established a kingdom. After the founding of the People's Republic of China a hundred years ago, its power continued to expand, covering most of the Qinghai region and the fringe areas of Gansu and Xinjiang, becoming one of the most important neighbors of the Great Sui Empire, the Central Plains Dynasty. At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, Tuyuhun was in its heyday, and the Tuyuhun cavalry often plundered and harassed the surrounding areas, mainly in the eastward areas adjacent to the Sui. This predominantly nomadic people often provoked large-scale wars before the onset of winter, mainly to plunder the grain of the Han people in the Guanzhong Plain and to capture Han Chinese as slaves.

This year's drought caused the Tuyuhun cavalry to dispatch elite cavalry early to frequently attack and harass Wuwei, an important town in the northwest of the Sui Dynasty. Fortunately, this year, the Great Sui had already prepared, and a few months ago it sent a general who had a lot of methods to deal with the Tuyuhun cavalry, and the commander Zhongwen sat in Wuwei, and adopted the method of a small group of elite cavalry to resist the attack of a small group of Tuyuhun cavalry, and took the initiative to intercept and kill the Tuyuhun cavalry entering the Sui Territory in multiple ways, and achieved good results, so that the small group of Tuyuhun cavalry did not dare to enter the Sui realm too deep to plunder. Once it is found that a large force of Tuyuhun cavalry is coming, it adopts the method of clearing the field with strong walls and holding on to the high city, and the Tuyuhun soldiers do not have much to support, and often have to retreat after several days of attacking the city. Therefore, from this autumn to this time, Wuwei's actual losses are not large. However, this caused a great crisis within Tuyuhun, who was originally not much in stock, and was covered by heavy snow, Tuyuhun, a nation on horseback, fell into a state of survival if he did not invade the Sui Dynasty to the east to obtain urgently needed supplies for the winter. For this reason, the princes of Tuyuhun stopped the internal fighting, the country turned into a wartime state, and the grassland tribes each dispatched young and strong herdsmen to the direction of Wuwei and began to assemble, and a Tusui war was already an arrow on the Xuan.

At the same time that Yang Er received the military information from the Military Intelligence Department about Tuyuhun's active preparations for war, the Great Sui Imperial Court had already received an urgent copy from General Yu Zhongye of Wuwei, asking the Imperial Court to send rescue troops to reinforce Wuwei as soon as possible. At this time, a debate was raging in the main hall of the Imperial Palace's government hall over whether to fight or not to fight.

"Wuwei Yu Zhongye came to report, saying that the Tuyuhun country is now preparing for war throughout the country, gathering heavy troops and me in the direction of Wuwei, and has the intention of comprehensively attacking my Guanzhong, what do you say?" Above the main hall, in the dragon chair, Emperor Wen asked the civil and military officials in the hall with a stern face, he hoped to get a solution from the hundred officials, after all, from the heart, His Majesty Emperor Wen was unwilling to start a war lightly, because the people of the Great Sui, including Guanzhong, had just begun to feel the peace brought by peace.

"Your Majesty, in the eyes of the old ministers, it is better to immediately send peace talks envoys to Natuyuhun Murong Shan to start peace talks, as long as the conditions are suitable, our dynasty can agree to avoid a war between the two countries." Right Prime Minister Han Hong proposed out of class. He looked down at both sides, including a small number of generals, and there were already more than a dozen people nodding in approval of his proposal.

"No, Your Majesty can't do anything to negotiate peace!" Suddenly, Prime Minister Gao Xi, who was the first civil official, came out of class and scolded loudly. Seeing that Emperor Wen suddenly looked at him with wide eyes, his face was puzzled. In Emperor Wen's heart, he still hoped to resolve the impending crisis through peace talks, and he believed that this was the best policy, and military war was only a last resort. However, even if the policy of peace talks was adopted, it had to be proposed by the courtiers, and when the Manchu dynasty agreed, Emperor Wen could approve it. How could an emperor take the initiative to mention it in front of his courtiers?

"Oh? Why does the prime minister think that peace talks are not appropriate, and you have other strategies? Emperor Wen asked himself puzzled, the chief minister, and also hoped to get a reasonable explanation.

"Your Majesty, Tuyuhun is a tiger and wolf! Wouldn't peace talks with him be a conspiracy with a tiger? That Murong Shan Yu has already peeked into the rich land of my Guanzhong for a long time, and if it is necessary to cut off my Guanzhong land in peace talks, then won't my Jingshi become a border city? Peace talks are useless! Gao Xi's words suddenly woke up Emperor Wen and the hundreds of officials of cultural relics, and those who said yes again and again were endless, and the court was talking about it.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that at this time for peace talks, then Murong Shan Yu is nothing more than food except for coveting my Guanzhong products, and my government's grain inventory is also beyond my means, how can there be extra food for Murong Shan Yu to stop the army. Talking about it will inevitably lead to war in the end. Taishi Yuan Min came out of the class and said, he confessed his hole cards to Emperor Wen. The implication is that we do not have the necessary conditions for peace talks, and a major war is inevitable. After listening to the words of the two important ministers, Emperor Wen bowed his head and was silent.

"Your Majesty, since we want to fight, how can we fight when our government treasury is short of food? Besides, it is now winter, and there is more than a foot of snow, and cavalry must be used to start a war. Yang Su, the Duke of Yueguo, who is familiar with the way of using soldiers, came out of class at this time and added. In his heart, he advocated peace talks, and even if he gave up a little benefit, he did not want the two countries to go to war, because a war would cause turmoil in the court, and the outcome of the war would be unpredictable, and besides, the princelings now had no power in the army, and could not gain benefits from the war between the two countries, and no matter what the outcome of the war was, it would be unfavorable to the princelings.

"Your Majesty, you should send an envoy to Tuyuhun as soon as possible to find out Murong Shanyu's thoughts, so that you can prescribe the right medicine. If you can accept it, you will talk, and if you can, you will fight. Moreover, peace talks can also win time for our DPRK to prepare for war. After comprehending Yang Su's meaning on the side, Su Wei, the servant of the servant, hurriedly went out of work to suggest.

"Well, then ----" Emperor Wen thought that what Su Wei said was an expedient measure, so he had to agree. But just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by a shout from the temple.

"Your Majesty, no. The minister has the king of Hedong Jin Shangben sparse, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin Yun: Tuguhun is a disease of scabies, and it should be eliminated as soon as possible! It turned out that when the court Taifu Jin Wang Shiyu Wenshu came out of the class with a notebook in his hand, he played loudly.

"Bring it in." Emperor Wen looked stunned when he heard this. Si Li Huangmen Yuanyan hurriedly went down and took the Jin King Song from Yu Wenshu's hand, turned around and went to the palace to present it to Emperor Wen.

Emperor Wen unfolded the book and saw that at this time, the Manchu Dynasty was like boiling water, and the hundred officials whispered non-stop, all of them were shocked by the King of Jin's heroic words to Tuyuhun. After listening to this, everyone nodded on the side of the general, and they all said that they would fight.

"Huh! I, the emperor, am dedicated to the country, and my courage is commendable, Yuan Yannian will listen to it for everyone! Emperor Wen became relaxed after reading the Jin Wang's recital, smiled and handed the recital to Yuan Yan, the Huangmen celebrant who handed it aside, and asked him to read the content of the recital to the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu, and he gently picked up the tea on the dragon case, blew away the floating powder and drank it.

"Father, I heard that the Tugu Hun Department did not accept the power of heaven, used swords and soldiers without permission, and offended my side court. Its intention is to try to get the land and grain in Guanzhong, this war is inevitable, and it cannot be stopped by peace talks! However, Wuwei is my northwest gateway, Longnan is my granary in Guanzhong, if the gateway granary is lost, the enemy's military peak will be directed at my Beijing division and there is no danger to defend. Now Tugu Hun is a disease of scabies in our dynasty, and it should not be allowed to be big, but should be stifled. Today, Erchen has trained a tens of thousands of elite soldiers outside, and dozens of generals under his knees, all of which can be fought, and Erchen is willing to lead Hedong soldiers to fight Murong Shan Yu, in order to solve the danger of scabies in the Western Regions of my dynasty, and hope that the loyalty of my father and emperor is also a minister! After Yuan Yan's sharp voice finished reading the recital, everyone was shocked.

"Your Majesty, since His Royal Highness the King of Jin is willing to lead the Hedong Army into battle, the last general thinks it is feasible. The day before yesterday, when the king of Jin left Hedong, his strong soldiers and other generals have already seen, and Hedong has enough money and food, it is reported that the horse army has reached tens of thousands of horsemen, this battle does not need to recruit foreign soldiers, it is possible to use the soldiers and horses of the king of Hedong Jin, the last general also wants His Majesty to agree, Xu Mo will go to his army as an old pawn, and can also make some contributions. Song Guogong He Ruobi came out of the military general class and shouted.

"The last general is also willing to follow His Royal Highness the King of Jin to make meritorious contributions in front of the army, please ask Your Majesty to agree." Shangzhu Guoyi County Gong Han Baohu saw that his old friend He Ruobi wanted to fight, so he couldn't help but immediately follow the class to apply.

"Does Gao Xiang think that the soldiers of King Jin can be used?" Emperor Wen glanced at the two veterans and ignored them, but turned his head and asked Prime Minister Gao Xi softly.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, with King Jin personally leading the elite soldiers of Hedong to fight in Tuguhunbu, my dynasty will definitely be worry-free!" After Gao Xi listened to King Jin's handwritten book at this time, he was already in a mood, smiled and stroked his beard with his right hand and replied softly. He didn't expect that today's prince could take the initiative to ask for orders to send troops, and this prince is only 15 years old this year, which is something that he never imagined, and the prince Yang Yong, who was standing next to him, didn't even let out a fart until this time, as useless as an ornament.

"Okay, then use my Hedong's soldiers, so that Murong Shan Yu also knows that I am a powerful prince of the Great Sui. The two princes want to go to war, and they will go to the army of the king of Jin to ask for their posts, if they don't accept you and wait, don't come back to bother me. Hehe! ”

Emperor Wen saw that his most relied on minister, Gao Xi, also agreed to use Hedong soldiers, so he agreed. At the same time, he turned his head and jokingly said to the two veterans who were seeking to fight. The two old brothers looked at each other and smiled, and did not say anything when they returned to the train.

"Your Majesty, since you are going to war with the troops of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, you should set up a minister of military supervision in the army, so as to maintain communication with the imperial court at any time, and it is also convenient to coordinate the troops of our dynasty and Wuwei and all over the country, so as not to panic and not conducive to war. Weichen recommended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take on the post of military supervisor. Yang Su saw that Emperor Wen had decided to use the King of Jin to lead the army, and his heart was flustered, and he hurriedly told the prince Yang Yong to supervise the military of the King of Jin, so as to obtain military merits in this battle, so as not to make the King of Jin big alone.

"Well---, that makes sense. Let the prince follow the army to supervise the army, and the brothers will retreat from the enemy together. After thinking about it for a while, Emperor Wen felt that Yang Su's words were reasonable, and at the same time, he also had the intention of letting his two sons ease the relationship, so he agreed. It's just that at this time, Yang Yong looked at the emperor's uncle Yang Su and didn't know what to do.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, an 800-mile urgent holy decree was sent to the palace of King Jin in Luzhou, Hedong County.

At this time, Yang Er, who had already expected that his father would definitely agree to lead his army to attack Tuyuhun, began to mobilize the army of Luzhou, Hedong, and for a time the military horses were frequently moved, and the logistics were moved early. "Dried sweet potatoes + braised chicken nuggets + cooked eggs + pickles + buckwheat cakes" made of a simple and convenient ready-to-eat small grain bag, each small bag is not less than half a catty, enough for a meal, each soldier according to the amount of 20 days to prepare 40 portions for a large bag, hung behind their respective saddles, so that they can be eaten and taken in the march, and they can be wrapped in snow.

Yang Er was quite appreciative of Uncle Ma's move, you must know that at this time, the snow covered the earth, and if you want to start a fire to cook in the wild, it is difficult to solve it with firewood and grass alone, or is it easy to carry the compressed rations of this individual soldier similar to later generations. Once the horses are set up in camp, the cooks accompanying the army can move to cook hot meals for the whole army to ensure that the officers and men have a meal. The logistics reported to Yang Er this time amounted to 20,000 people, all of whom were recruited by Ma Shumou from the people of Hedong. It is extremely easy to recruit people, and now in this agricultural season, young and strong laborers are willing to repay the favor of the king of Jin by making contributions with the army. As soon as Uncle Ma's recruitment notice came out, the 20,000 people were full in less than two days. Seeing that Uncle Ma was doing things very neatly, General Yang Er also handed over Uncle Ma's logistics responsibility with the military hospital, which was nothing more than letting the people use the car to carry the female nurses and doctors who could not ride horses to follow the army all the way. In order to ensure the safety of the people's team and the hospital, Yang Er specially sent a cavalry of 1,000 people to accompany him to protect him.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Yang Er was looking at the marching map by candlelight, which depicted the locations of various cities and tribes in Tuyuhun in detail, which can be described as very detailed. Yang Er has been supervising the office in the Luzhou camp since he entered the wartime state, and he has not returned to the palace to rest for several days. Although he was very tired, Ma Shumou offered him something, which made Yang Er suddenly cheer up.
