Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty wanted to attack Goguryeo, there were many political reasons and environmental factors, and it was by no means written in the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, that he was completely hot-headed, mediocre, and for his own pleasure. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

There are at least three reasons that caused Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty to have a firm heart to attack Goguryeo, the first is that Goguryeo is indeed a hidden danger in the north of the Great Sui, often harassing the border, and colluding with nomadic tribes such as the Turks, Tiele, and Ya Ya in an attempt to confront the Great Sui and unwilling to surrender.

The second reason is that the national strength of the Great Sui is unprecedentedly strong, the taxes are not reduced, the warehouses are full, more than a dozen granaries, each warehouse has more than one million stones of grain, even if the grain is not levied for 20 years, it is enough for the treasury and the army to use, this is the self-confidence of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, so he does not care about launching a large-scale national war, even if a million troops are requisitioned, the consumption of grain and grass is not a problem.

The third reason is that the Fanbangs around the Great Sui have already expressed their submission and become vassal states, supporting Emperor Yang of Sui as the holy khan, and Tuyuhun has just been destroyed, which greatly makes Emperor Yang of Sui proud, and there is no one in his eyes, and he does not take Goguryeo in the land of projectiles to heart at all.

The three main inducements made Emperor Yang of Sui unable to listen to the advice of other ministers, and insisted on going his own way, and the ministers around him, such as Pei Yun, Yu Wenshu, Su Wei, Pei Shiji and others, would not speak against him at all, no matter what Emperor Yang of Sui wanted to do, they all agreed with both hands, so that the loyal words could not be listened to.

At the court meeting, Emperor Yang of Sui instructed Wu Houwei to make every effort to arrest the remaining rebels and crack down on the Gao clan of Northern Qi, but all the participants were arrested and brought to justice.

"General Yu has a meritorious escort, captured the Qin prisoners overnight, found out the clues, and did things very effectively, so he should be rewarded."

"This is the responsibility of the ministers, and they don't dare to take credit!"

"I have clear rewards and punishments, and there is no confusion!" Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty wanted to make a show and gave Yu Chengdu some rewards such as cloth and wealth.

………

When he was about to retire from the dynasty, Emperor Yang of Sui left behind some important ministers and some generals to participate in the attack on Goguryeo.

General Yang Yichen said: "The minister thinks that Goguryeo is far away from the Central Plains, the grain and grass supply front is too long, and the Goguryeo people are not only good at riding, but also good at naval warfare, and are also good at defending the city. ”

Fan Zigai said: "The minister thinks that although it is imperative to crusade against Goguryeo, there is no need to rush to send troops, and if there can be two years of deployment, it should be the safest." ”

Yu Zhongwen said: "Yes, deploy border passes, gradually increase troops, and transport grain and grass, so that the gods are unaware and take Goguryeo by surprise." ”

Lai Hu'er said: "If you can train a naval army, cross the vast sea, go directly to the back of Goguryeo, and attack from both sides, the effect will be better." ”

Yuwenshu proposed: "If you can send troops to multiple routes, from Shandong, Hebei, Shuofang, and Youzhou, mobilize the forces of Yingyang Mansion, converge to western Liaoning, and conquer the passes of Goguryeo, the situation will be like a bamboo." ”

Luo Zhaoyun listened to these people's suggestions, and sneered in his heart, is the wheel of history still running on the original trajectory, if it continues to fight like this, the Great Sui will have to be dragged down.

After listening to the voices of some of the main battle factions, Emperor Yang of Sui somewhat coincided with his thoughts, and when he pondered, he suddenly found that Luo Zhaoyun had not said a word, although he had been lukewarm to him recently, and he was a little estranged, but after all, he was still a person he trusted, and Luo Zhaoyun did have real talent and learning, and he was the lucky general of the Great Sui, so he took the initiative to ask.

"General Luo, what do you think, say it and listen to it."

Luo Zhaoyun was stunned for a moment, and then quickly replied: "Your Majesty, I think that what the generals said has a certain truth, if it can be summarized together, comprehensively analyzed, and after choosing the pros and cons, it will be a good strategy for the Northern Expedition." ”

Someone sneered and sneered: "General Luo, do you count your own ideas, you are clearly opportunistic, have you been transferred out of the frontier, you have no military power in your hands, and you have any dissatisfaction when you are leisurely?" ”

Luo Zhaoyun didn't look at it with his eyes, just listening to the strange words of yin and yang, he knew that it was the treacherous Yuwen who said it.

Among these ministers, the people of the Yuwen family have the most opposition to themselves, especially Yuwenshu, although Luo Zhaoyun asked himself if he didn't offend him, but this old guy always wanted to set him up.

Luo Zhaoyun had discussed with Changsun Sheng, Zhou Luohu, Luo Rong and others, and in the end, he somewhat figured it out.

Because of the conflict of interests, the jealousy of power!

Yuwenshu can be so beautiful now, and gradually become another powerful minister after Yang Su, mainly favored by Emperor Yang of Sui, and he himself knows that if Yang Guang had not trusted him at the beginning, conspired with him to seize the heir, and favored him step by step, Yuwenshu would not have achieved today, so he was unwilling to accept this favored position to be taken away by others.

Coupled with Luo Zhaoyun's character and behavior, he is incompatible with the people of the Yuwenshu family, one is good and one is evil, water and fire cannot be compatible, Yuwenshu is very worried that once he falls out of favor, his son, Yu Wenhua, Yuwen Zhihe and others, will not be able to become a climate, and finally the family will decline.

Therefore, when Yuwenshu saw that Luo Zhaoyun was rising steadily, his career was immeasurable, and he threatened his position as a favored minister, he united with Dugujia, Pei Yun and others to suppress this rising star.

Luo Zhaoyun also sneered: "Could it be that General Yuwen thinks that what other generals say is unreasonable?" ”

Yuwenshu's face sank, and he immediately replied: "Of course I don't mean that, I mean, your own suggestion, if you have any specific plans for the defeat of Goguryeo, you might as well let Your Majesty and the generals take a closer look." ”

Luo Zhaoyun looked at his old face, he was not in a very good mood, but he didn't burst out, and said with a smile: "General Yuwen is so old, he should be calm and sophisticated, but he doesn't want to, he is still anxious, Luo has been fighting for several years, and he has been sharpened in the border pass, so he naturally has some ideas about leading troops to fight." ”

Emperor Yang of Sui listened to the two of them arguing, and he was not much annoyed, after all, the more the ministers fought each other, the king could control it, and if the ministers were together, that was the last thing the emperor wanted to see.

Because if there are two factions or three factions in the court, this will divide the forces, and all the forces will take advantage of the emperor, so that the emperor's monarchy can be supreme and can be controlled at any time.

If there is no fighting, harmony and harmony, it is easy for a family to dominate, and finally the palace becomes a usurpation, such as the Great Sui replacing the Northern Zhou, the Northern Zhou replacing the Western Wei, the Jin replacing Cao Wei, etc., are all the situation of a minister in the imperial court, beyond control.

Emperor Yang of Sui didn't favor anyone, and after a word, he said: "Okay, there is no need to fight with words, General Luo, you have any wonderful ideas, but it doesn't hurt to say it." (To be continued.) )
