Chapter 123: The Hedong Army's Victorious Division, Jinluan Palace, is in turmoil again
In fact, Yang Er's letter expressed a meaning in a light manner: the Great Sui and the Western Turks will have a battle in Hexi sooner or later, and the battlefield is too close to Fuyu City, you can watch it.
A few days later, there were no Tuyuhun military horses on the official road leading to Wuwei City, and at He Chong's suggestion, Wu Yunzhao's White Horse Battalion finally returned to Dasui with victories. He Chong himself was also promoted to the Military Intelligence Department because of his outstanding performance, and he was the only one among the many thousands of officials who were promoted, and he was in charge of the three counties of Hexi in addition to Tuyuhun, and became the fourth real power figure in the Military Intelligence Department to surpass Wang De.
Upstairs in Wuwei City, Yang Er was quietly looking at the northwest with the rare snow clear. Standing behind him with a sword are Zhong Jian and Chuchen 2 knights, on the left hand side are He Ruobi and Han Baohu 2 elders, and on the right hand side is Wuwei Marshal Yu Zhongwen.
"When I open the door in the morning, the snow is full of snow, and the snow is light and the sun is cold. The eaves flow is not dripping plum jelly, a kind of solitary is not idle. Yang Er said softly.
"The Yuan Ri Festival is coming. The so-called "Ruixue Trillion Year", I hope that the next year will be a year of peace and abundance in the world. ”
"Your Highness, this time has completely solved the war in my border city, and the lower officials think that next year will be a year of peace and peace. The people of Guanzhong will all remember His Royal Highness's merits. Yu Zhongwen whispered on the side. This battle opened Yu Zhongwen's eyes, which was completely different from the offensive and defensive battles he had always insisted on, and he only knew how to fight and attrition. The gap between his vision and King Jin is too big. The young King of Jin actually took advantage of the unfavorable battle situation to carry out an overall plan, not only defending Wuwei City and remedying his responsibility for losing the city, but also solving the biggest border trouble for the Great Sui once and for all, and single-handedly supporting a Tuyuhun Xinshan who was similar to a puppet to the upper position. Raising his hands and laughing, he recovered the old land of the Han people, which had been lost for more than 400 years, and forced the Tuyuhun Kingdom to move its capital south. Such an achievement is enough to leave a name for eternity!
"It's easy to fight the country, but it's hard to defend the country! Yu Shuai, the land west of the river, is extremely important to our dynasty, but the land is extremely poor, the people are not easy to survive, and the soldiers are hard to guard! Yu Shuai's next burden is getting heavier and heavier. Yang Er turned his head and said to Zhongwen.
After hearing this, Yu Zhongwen nodded, looked at the northwest, and said: "Your Highness, rest assured, with me Yu Zhongwen guarding the four counties in Hexi, I will not allow strong enemies to attack." Not only beacons are set up between the four counties to communicate information, but there are also military stations and post stations along the way for the exchange of defense soldiers and business travelers. There is also a Xiongguan outside Dunhuang City, called Yumen, the commander has sent 2,000 people to garrison, here can defend the Western Turkic cavalry into the west of our river. Coupled with the abundant grain stock, it is expected that the 4 counties of Hexi will be safe in a few years, and His Royal Highness can only return to Beijing for the festival with peace of mind. Yu Zhongwen's words attracted He and Han Erlao on the side, and they couldn't help but nod and secretly praised Yu Zhongwen for being thoughtful.
"Well, Yu Shuai arranged it well, but if possible, the people of Guanzhong should be mobilized to go to the land of the three counties to develop the land. After the king returned to the dynasty, he would also invite his father to make every effort to move the people of Guanzhong and Hetao into Hexi. Eli Marshal held on for a long time. Yang Er looked into the distance and said silently. After hearing this, the three generals all nodded yes.
"There is another thing, Yu Shuai can use his confidants to do it, draw a detailed map of the Hexi Corridor for the king, mountains, rivers, deserts, post stations, beacon towers, passes, etc., and send someone to the king's hands after drawing, and the king will be useful." Yang Er suddenly ordered Yu Zhongwen, and Yu Zhongwen immediately understood after hearing this, and nodded in response.
"According to He Chonglai's report, Wu Yunzhao's department is already on his way back to China, and he should be able to reach Wuwei the day after tomorrow. After the king gathered the whole army in Hedong, he was going to return to the capital to resume his life. If there is no war here, the scenery is really magnificent! Then he turned and led the people down to the city.
Two days later, as Yang Er said, Wu Yunzhao led the entire White Horse Battalion to Wuwei City to join the Hedong army. Yang Er did not delay any longer, so he left Yu Zhongwen and the whole army embarked on the road back to Beijing. And the crown prince Yang Yong had already left before the 5th with Zhang Xutuo's Hongnong soldiers.
In the end, Yang Er still didn't let Zhang Xutuo secretly arrest Zhang Xun. After controlling the overall situation, Yang Er's thoughts have also changed, and this is not the time to bring down the crown prince Yang Yong, because he is not strong enough. It is beneficial for himself to let the prince sprinkle in the capital. Because Zhang Xun was not moved, Zhang Xutuo's identity was well concealed, and on the surface he was still a member of the princelings, and he was still stationed in Meiwu City in case there was a change in the capital. This is a secret chess game played by Yang Er'an, and sooner or later the princelings will suffer a lot.
Yang Er closed his eyes in his luxurious carriage and thought about what might happen after returning to Beijing, it seemed inevitable that a battle for merit in the Jinluan Palace would be inevitable, or the crown prince Yang Yong would not have hurried back to Beijing a few days earlier. Do you want to tell Yang Yong and Tuyuhun about their private collusion in front of their father? Yang Er was thinking about the results of saying and not talking.
The passenger in the carriage added another beautiful woman, who was sitting opposite the dust and was silent. This is the youngest daughter of Tuyuhun Murong Shan Yu, who was escorted back by Wu Bao, who was 13 years old. Looking at the appearance, you can tell that he is of mixed Chinese and bearded blood, with big eyes and high nose, and snow-white skin. It is completely different from the fairy wind of Dao bones, and the incomparably beautiful dusty temperament is completely different, but it has a unique flavor. Yang Er took him as a close maid and served in the car. In this regard, Chuchen gave Yang Er a big roll of his eyes, revealing extreme contempt.
The journey was safe and sound, and I walked slowly, and arrived outside Chang'an City in ten days. Xiong Kuohai and other generals led the army to camp outside the city, and Yang Er brought Yu Wenhua, father and son, Wu Yunzhao and others into the city.
It's been a long time since I've seen my father and mother, and Yang Er still has a little worry in his heart. After returning to his mansion and briefly explaining a few words to Yuwenshu, he rushed to the palace Wenhe Hall alone to visit his parents.
"Son, these days have been full of letters, and today I finally went home. My baby is much taller, come to the queen mother's side, let the queen mother take a good look. As soon as Queen Dugu saw her second son, who had not been by her side for a long time, she called Yang Er with tears in her eyes.
"Mother, has always been in good health? Is Dr. Sun still taking his medicine? It looks like the queen mother has lost a lot of weight. Yang Er hurriedly walked to Dugu's side, knelt on the ground and said.
"It's all the medicine of the miracle doctor! In previous years, the winter was the most difficult for the queen mother, but now that there is a divine doctor to protect the mother, the illness has never occurred again, so get up and talk quickly. Queen Dugu stretched out her hand and dragged Yang Er up, and sat on the soft couch. After Yang Er got up, he also sat on the soft couch beside him.
Just as the mother and son were chatting and saying warm words, Emperor Wen Yang Jian hurriedly walked in, with a kind smile on his face, looking refreshed.
"Father is good, the emperor has asked his father to say goodbye." Yang Er hurriedly raised his eyes when he heard the footsteps, and saw that it was his father who had arrived, so he hurriedly got up from the couch and hurriedly bowed.
"Ahh I haven't seen you for many days, but you're getting bolder now! If you dare to negotiate reconciliation with Tuyuhun behind your father's back, aren't you afraid that the ministers of the DPRK and China will impeach you? Emperor Wen said softly with a smile on his face while helping Yang Er up, and there was no blame in his words.
"Father, the son is a general outside the army, and he should act when he sees the opportunity. If everything has to go back and forth thousands of miles to wait for the will of the father, won't it delay the big thing. Besides, after my father saw his son's peace talks, could there be a disadvantage for my Great Sui? Yang Er explained unhurriedly.
"Hmmm! Luckily, that's the case! Otherwise, the saliva of the ministers of the DPRK and China will drown. It's just that in the future, you should try to abide by the ancestral system and don't make decisions without permission, otherwise even the father and emperor will be difficult to suppress those pedantic ministers. Emperor Wen sat on the soft couch as he spoke, and put his right hand on Dugu's left hand.
"The words of my father and the emperor have been recorded." Yang Er saw his father and blamed him, so he accepted it when he saw it, and did not argue.
"It's just that a few of the articles in the contract text you submitted are quite innovative, and many ministers were puzzled during the court discussion, so they said that you forcibly incorporated the land of Hexi into my Great Sui territory, which is a wild land, like chicken ribs. If it is still Tuyuhun, our dynasty will not have a border with the great Turkic powers of Naxi. Now that you have to face the Western Turkic soldiers, what do you think, say it and let your father and your mother hear it? Emperor Wen smiled and asked Yang Er about the puzzle in his heart, taking advantage of the opportunity to close the door and be at home.
"Father, Queen Mother, although Hexi is deserted and the climate is changeable, it is an indispensable place for my dynasty. Taking Wuwei City as the starting point, after connecting the three counties of Hexi, you can open the trade route to the countries of the Western Regions, and our dynasty is rich in products, silk, porcelain, tea, farm tools, refined salt, ironware, etc. can be continuously transported to the countries of the Western Regions for sale, and can be exchanged for a large amount of gold, silver, jade and jade, which has many benefits to the economic development and social progress of our dynasty. It is not an exaggeration to say that this Hexi Corridor is an open road to wealth! Yang Er briefly said the benefits that he could think of immediately. In fact, there are many more benefits that can be seen, such as the introduction of unique food crops in the Western Regions, sweat and blood in the Western Regions, etc. Of course, Yang Er suppressed his desire for the land ambitions of the Western Regions and didn't say anything.
"But have you thought about it, once our DPRK and the Western Turks are directly bordered, it may arouse their coveting of our DPRK territory, and then our DPRK will face the Turkic army directly and lose the buffer of Tuyuhun this country. It's a big disadvantage for me! "From Emperor Wen's point of view, development is not the most important thing, but the prevention and control of foreign barbaric invasion is the top priority.
"Don't worry, father, my son has already taken precautions in Hexi, if the Western Turks have the intention of offending me, hehe! It wasn't Erchen who was talking here, Erchen led the troops to attack, so that his fate was even more miserable than the current Tuyuhun country. Yang Er looked into Emperor Wen's gaze and said fiercely. The heart said, if I don't try him, even if he is lucky.
Emperor Wen was speechless for a while when he saw Yang Er speaking so ruthlessly. From this battle with Tuyuhun, Emperor Wen realized the ability of his son, who could easily kill a Shan Yu and establish a puppet state attached to the Great Sui, which was indeed a ruthless character who was not easy to get along with.
"Well, tomorrow morning, I'll say your cruel words to you in the court! However, now that you have done it, your father will fully support you. Even if you are fighting the Turks, what can you do? Seeing that his son was so bold, Emperor Wen also doubled his confidence. In the past few years, under his own control, the Great Sui Dynasty has seen a prosperous era, and the country has almost recovered, and he is really not afraid of a war with the Turks.
Coming out of the Wenhe Palace, the cold wind blew. Yang Er hurriedly covered his neckline and got into the car to go home. In the car, Yang Er thought back to his words with his father, and became more and more sure that he would face all kinds of interrogations and provocations from the princelings in the court tomorrow.
At this time, the atmosphere in the mansion of Wu Jianzhang, the prince of Zhongguo, was much better than that of the Jin Palace.
Wu Yunzhao led more than 10,000 elite horsemen to attack Tugu Hun Ya City, and the battle was extremely exciting, no less than the Western Han Dynasty champion Hou Huo's thousands of miles to break through the Xiongnu King City, and the record of retreating with his whole body surpassed his predecessors. As a military general, Wu Jianzhang knew what reward such a merit would bring to his son, but what made him even happier was that in the second generation of their generation of founding fathers, his son had already excelled, which made his face shine and add a lot of color.
"Zhao'er, go with your father tomorrow morning, Your Majesty will reward me with meritorious soldiers in the Western Expedition in the early court, you have to prepare well." Wu Jianzhang looked at Wu Yunzhao with joy on his face and said.
"The father is relieved that the son has been ready for a long time. It's just a pity that the head work was snatched away by Yuwen Chengdu, so hateful! Only one step away from capturing Murong Shan Yu with his own hands, alas! Wu Yunzhao still hadn't let go, and slammed his fist on the table.
"Son! There is no need to be discouraged, there are many opportunities to make meritorious contributions in the future with His Royal Highness King Jin! Besides, you have done a miracle, remember that the bow should not be too full, and the future will be long. I am a few years old for my father, and if I am a few years younger, I will go to the battle with your two uncles He and Han this time, and I have had the addiction of killing enemies. Wu Jianzhang said with a heavy face.
"Father, go to Wu Bao and let him be ready to be rewarded in front of the palace, so as not to lose etiquette." Wu Yunzhao got up and walked out, he wanted to go out of the city to the White Horse Camp to find his deputy general Wu Bao.
Seeing his son who turned to leave, Wu Jianzhang smiled and nodded. After this battle, the son of this Wu family has become more mature, as if he has the power of a general.
It has been a long time since he has listened to the government, and Yang Er has returned to the court victoriously, and at this time there is some irrepressible excitement in his heart. The crown prince Yang Yong beside him had an inextricable sad face.
With Emperor Wen's main seat, the hall was quiet.
"Zhong Aiqing, now my Hedong army has returned victoriously in the west, not only the Tuyuhun defeated the ground, but also changed the single Yu, but also made it cut the land and sue for peace. My two princes have performed well in this battle between the two countries, fighting for me and winning glory for the country. Although there are slight flaws and regrets in the process, the flaws are not hidden. After this war, the Tuyuhun Kingdom in the west has suffered a great loss of national strength, and it is controlled by our Great Sui, and there is no longer a threat to our dynasty. The army of the victorious squad is now outside the capital, and I plan to reward the meritorious soldiers in this great battle as encouragement! Emperor Wen said this in one breath, stopped and looked around at the ministers in the main hall, and also set aside time for the ministers to admonish him.
Sure enough, as soon as Emperor Wen's words fell, he saw Yang Su, the king of Yue, come out of the class and say: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that all the meritorious soldiers who fought with Tuyuhun should be rewarded to show my emperor's enlightened and virtuous virtue." But the old minister still wants to impeach one person, and the impeachment of this person is suspected of trespassing and has no imperial power. ”
