Chapter 139 Thousands of Miles to Seek Talents
Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty moved his temporary palace from the county government to the mansion of a large family in the city, which was located in the middle of the city and could not be shot by arrows. In the hall of the middle hall, Yang Guang once again convened the ministers to discuss the countermeasures for defending the city.
In the hall, Lai Hu'er has already taken the first step to inform everyone of the battle situation of today's two battles to defend the city, which made everyone present feel extremely heavy in their hearts, today the Turkic army only used hundreds of the simplest siege ladders, almost broke through the city, if they add other siege tools, can Yanmen City still be able to hold?
"The general of Zhendian has successfully blended in with the Turkic soldiers who attacked the city before, if nothing else, Yuwen Aiqing will gather the world's army to come to King Qin, it will take about fifteen to twenty days."
Yang Guang looked at everyone and sighed, "Now everyone thinks about it, is there any way to boost the morale of the army, so that the soldiers can hold the city for a month?" ”
After a moment of silence, Fan Zigai, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty, the world often says, 'There must be brave men under heavy rewards'!" Now if you want to boost the morale of the army, the only way is to reward it! As long as Your Majesty makes a promise to reward the meritorious soldiers who defend the city after the siege is lifted, the morale of the soldiers will be high and they will fight bravely to kill the enemy! ”
"Your Majesty, the minister also agrees with Fan Shangshu's suggestion!" Pei Yun, the squire of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, agreed, "Rewarding the soldiers is indeed the supreme remedy for boosting morale, and the ministers support it!" ”
At this time, Neishi Shilang also stepped forward and said: "After all, the Turks are the ministers of the Great Sui, and they have committed a crime and have a moral loss, Your Majesty can send envoys to question them and ask them why they don't abide by the way of the monarch and the ministers?" And then negotiate with them on the terms of the withdrawal, even if it is useless, but it can delay time. ”
"Heavy rewards boost morale, negotiations stall time! In the current environment, these two methods of defending the city are indeed the best, and the minister is also in favor of it! ”
"Good! Then do what Zhong Aiqing suggests! ”
Seeing that all the ministers spoke out in favor, Yang Guang did not hesitate any longer, and immediately made a decision, although he did not agree with the suggestion of rewarding the soldiers who defended the city, but in order to save his life, he had to agree with the opinions of the ministers.
Yang Guang looked at Pei Ju, "Pei Aiqing, I also know that the negotiation at this time is very dangerous, but I can't help it!" Among all Aiqing, only Pei Aiqing You have seen Shibi many times, you know Shibi better, and you are the one I trust the most! ”
Pei Ju knew that he couldn't hide, so he stepped forward and bowed deeply, "The old minister is willing to share his worries for His Majesty!" ”
Yang Guang nodded, "I know that Aiqing will always come forward at critical moments, and this time I negotiate with Chief Hu, hoping that Aiqing can be neither humble nor arrogant, and fight according to reason, without losing the respect of the country." ”
"The minister would rather die than fall into the Great Sui Tianwei!"
……
Mayi County was an important town on the northern border of the Great Sui, and the imperial court deployed heavy troops here, and the city of Mayi County was extremely strong, and as an important town against the Turks, it was also well defended.
On this day, a group of cavalry galloped outside the city of Shanyang, Mayi, led by a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young general, the young general was more than seven feet tall, his face was white and delicate, his face was scholarly and elegant, his figure was slender, not fat or thin, wearing a set of black bright light armor, and a red war horse in his crotch, this is a rare young Confucian general!
"Young Master, is that person really that powerful? Why are they almost forty years old, but they are still a countyman? A county man, with the young master's current status as the general of the town army, he can be easily summoned with just a piece of order, why did the young master come all the way to find him? A young man who was also dressed as a general, rode a few steps behind the young general, approached sideways and asked!
"Huang Lin, there are a lot of questions for you! Be careful to go back and I'll let you copy "Simplified Cultural Knowledge"! The young Confucian general didn't stop, scolded the general with a smile, paused, and asked again: "Huang Lin, what do you think of my level of military use, young master?" ”
It turned out that the young general who asked was Huang Lin, the commander of the Allied Army's pro-military battalion, and the young Confucian general was his young master, Su Shang, the marshal of the Allied Army.
After Su Shang led the fleet to land on the shore in Zhuo County, he entrusted the affairs of the army to Du Ruhui and Xie Yingdeng, but he took Huang Lin and more than 200 other personal soldiers straight to Mayi County!
The reason why Su Shang wanted to come to Mayi County was because he wanted to personally go to Shanyang City to invite someone, this person was very important and powerful in the late Sui period, it can be said that as long as Su Shang can successfully persuade this person to take refuge in himself, then his certainty of success in winning the world can at least increase more than one percent of his hope.
This person has been familiar with the book of war since he was a child, the art of war and strategy, all of them are proficient, and when he was still very young, he was praised by Niu Hong, the former secretary of the ministry, as "Wang Zuozhicai", and Yang Su, the Duke of Chu, also said that he was a rare military genius before his death, with a "servant shooting posture". In the history of the dream world, he fought in all directions all his life, invincible, invincible, and a famous military strategist in the late Sui and early Tang dynasties, he was the founding general of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing, who was called the god of war!
"Young Master, you are naturally like a god!" Huang Lin's face changed in fright, and a hint of flattery appeared on his handsome face.
This "Simplified Cultural Knowledge" is a set of textbooks specially compiled by Su Shang for the Alliance Academy, there are at least three or four thousand words on it, Huang Lin would rather fight a desperate battle with the enemy, he is not willing to copy "Simplified Cultural Knowledge" again!
"This man's ability to use soldiers is far superior to mine."
Su Shang pondered for a moment and said, "Emperor Sui is trapped, and Yang Sui's world will completely fall apart because of this. In the following period of time, the Central Plains will usher in a magnificent history of hegemony, warlords, heroes, all kinds of people emerge in endlessly, so if we want to win a place in this magnificent era, we must develop and grow rapidly, and if we can successfully get this person's refuge, he alone can withstand 100,000 elite soldiers! ”
"So powerful? Young Master, what's his name? ”
Huang Lin and the others were extremely curious in their hearts, the world is so big, there are almost no people who can be worthy of Su Shang's praise, unless there are capable people like Du Ruhui in Changshi!
"Li Jing!"
After speaking, Li Jing laughed, quickly added a whip, and drove the horse straight to the city gate!
A young soldier at the city gate was about to make a sound to intercept him, but he saw an old soldier behind him pull him over and roared angrily: "You don't want to live anymore, you don't see the imposing outfits of those people, how can you be stopped by a small soldier."
"Do any of you know where Lord Li Jing lives in Mayi County?" Huang Lin immediately stepped forward to ask.
"Master Li?"
The veteran was stunned when he heard this, but quickly reacted, and said again and again: "The villain knows, the villain knows, Master Li is in the sixth alley of Ximen Street, and there is an old locust tree in front of his house."
"Can you take us there?" Su Shang also rode forward and asked with a smile.
"The villain is willing to lead the way, willing to lead the way! Please come with me, generals! ”
The veteran hurriedly said, but he was very surprised in his heart The young general in front of him was not to mention that he was beautiful and elegant, the key is that he still has a particularly convincing momentum, and he doesn't know what the origin of such a character is, and why he is looking for that Lord Li Jing!
Is the overlord of the late Sui Dynasty good-looking?
