Huazhou is also called East County, and its governance is located in Huatai.

At this time, 200,000 Sui troops under the command of Yang Guang and Laihu'er, were marching towards the east gate of the slide, and the flags flying in the sky and its long lance of Xu Rulin were one after another, covering the sky and the sun.

The 20,000 officers above the captain level of the Xiaoguo Iron Cavalry were all under the leadership of Yang Jian and Yu Wenshiji, and they lined up early to wait at the east gate, and everyone looked forward to welcoming the king.

Yang Guang's mood today can be said to be very good, since the expedition, everywhere the army goes, there is no disadvantage, along the way can be described as unimpeded, very smooth! The moment he saw Yang Jun, Yang Guang quickly got down from the dragon, excitedly grabbed Yang Jun's hand, patted the back of his hand, and said with a smile: "As the pioneer of my army, Ah Zi won the first battle, and won so beautifully, it really deserves to be the 'yellow beard' of my Yang family!" ”

When Yang Xuan heard Yang Guang's praise, he was immediately overjoyed, and happily replied: "Father, now, most of the East County has heard the wind and returned to the imperial court. In the battle of Mengjin Pass, our army completely annihilated more than 5,000 enemy troops, of which 2,573 were beheaded, and the thief commander Li Shanghu and his mother Huo were captured, while General Yuwen took the slip without a single soldier and without blood! ”

Hearing this, Yu Wenshi hurriedly stepped out and said: "Holy Lord, His Royal Highness the King of Qi has strategized and calculated wisely, changed the original plan during the march, and acted at the right time, so that he commanded our army to win a complete victory!" That's why the ministers don't dare to take credit! ”

Seeing this, Yang Guang nodded happily, looked around at the generals present, and laughed: "Well, good!" The commander can reward and punish clearly, share the credit with his subordinates, and the general is not meritorious or arrogant, which is a good military tradition of our Sui army, and you must inherit and carry it forward! ”

"No!" All the generals responded respectfully.

Speaking of this, Yang Guang turned to Feng Deyi and said: "Feng Aiqing, as the history of the marshal's mansion, this matter of verifying the merits of the war will be handed over to you for statistics, don't miss the merits that the soldiers exchanged for their lives!" ”

Hearing this, Feng Deyi's face was pale, and he knew that verifying his combat exploits was by no means a simple matter. This involves a lot of interest disputes and all kinds of miscellaneous personal feelings, and it is difficult to investigate this kind of matter in detail, and it is difficult to achieve an answer that satisfies everyone. But Feng Deyi knew that this kind of difficult thing was also the time to reflect his personal ability, so he did not shirk it, and said: "Weichen must be exhausted, carefully check every exploit, every reward, and give the soldiers a fairness and justice!" ”

"Sinner King Rail, knock to the Holy One!" At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a four-rank official uniform with his own shackles and shackles, knelt on the ground, and bowed his head and bowed.

Yang Guang understood, looked down at Wang Rail with a lofty attitude, and asked in a deep voice: "You are the son of the prince of Longmen County, the younger brother of Wang Mo, and the East County guards the king rail!" ”

Wang Liang wept and fell to the ground, and said: "As an important minister of the court, the criminal minister does not want to fight against the thief, but he bends his knees to surrender to the thief, and attaches to the rebellion, because the upper can not resist the trust of the saint and the cultivation of the imperial court, and for the subordinate to tarnish the name of his father and brother, in vain for the children of Guan Long, it is insulting to the family style, and please ask the saint to surrender!" ”

At this time, Yang Jian took two steps forward and whispered: "Father, although Wang Liang defected to the enemy, he was also forced by the situation, and he had to make this decision in order to ensure the peace of the people in the territory. Now, when Wang Liang saw that my Wang Shi had returned to the north, he did not hesitate to open the door and dedicate the city, which can be regarded as a small achievement, and he will make up for his sins, and he hopes that his father will be lightly punished! ”

Yang Guang knew that Yang Jian was the little Jiujiu in his heart, and he had already had a plan in his heart, but he still smiled at Yu Wenshi and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Yu Wenshi first glanced at Wang Liang contemptuously, then looked at Yang Xuan's hopeful eyes, and then looked at Yang Guang's relaxed expression, and finally replied: "The minister thinks that since ancient times, I thought that the person who killed and surrendered was unknown, and my king's return to the north was the time to regain people's hearts. The attitude of the imperial court towards Wang Rail at this time will largely determine the judgment of other land snakes, so the minister thinks that it should be dealt with lightly! ”

"Aiqing, you think exactly the same as me!" Yang Guang laughed at Wang Rail: "Wang Rail, although you kid has insulted the name of your ancestors, but I remember your efforts to protect the hearts of the people and dedicate the city, so that you still revert to the East County Guard, are you satisfied!?" ”

Wang Liangwan, who was originally apprehensive and even a little frightened, didn't expect that he would be able to be reinstated, which is not quite like the style of Emperor Yang of Sui! But Wang Liang obviously didn't think much about it at this time, as long as he could pick up a life, he could still continue to be an official and a big official, this result was simply not too satisfying to him, so he kowtowed again and again: "The criminal minister is satisfied!" Sinners are satisfied! ”

When Wang Liang broke his head and blood flowed down his head into the perspective of his eyes, he suddenly reacted and thanked him again: "Weichen thank the Holy Grace!" Thank you, Your Royal Highness King Qi! ”

Yang Guang nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Wang Liang, how many soldiers do you have in Dongjun?" ”

Wang Liang hurriedly replied: "Back to the saint, there are more than 5,300 county soldiers under the direct jurisdiction of Weichen, and all of them have now returned to the imperial court, and the actual number of soldiers in the register cannot be counted because of the war and the loss of people!" "Although Wang Liang is a bastard, he can't be denied his talent because of this. He is still clear about his affairs in Dongjun.

Hearing this, Yang Guang nodded and asked Yang Xuan: "Who are the generals who have made great contributions to the generals who went out this time!?" ”

Yang Jun was stunned for a moment, then turned to understand, rubbed his hands, and said excitedly: "Wu Yonglang will be Ma Wenju, the brigade will lead Pei Jia, and the brigade will lead the fox Xingda... ”

Yang Guang smiled and nodded, and said: "I mean, mix these more than 5,000 troops with the troops of Li Shanghu's subordinates, and compile them into the sequence of the soldiers of the Right Guard's Mansion, with Ma Wenju as the general of Yingyanglang, Pei Jia, and Linghu Xingda as the captains... ”

After announcing the appointment, Yang Guang looked at Ma Wenju with a smile, and then looked at Sima Dejiao, Yuan Li, Pei Qiantong, Zhao Xingshu and others not far behind him, and said with a smile: "No one is perfect, people have mistakes, and everyone will make mistakes!" In my heart, there is a small notebook that records the merits and demerits of each of you, but I hope that you can correct your mistakes and change your mind, as long as you can change your past mistakes and serve the court well, I will still promote and reuse you! ”

Hearing this, Wang Liang, Ma Wenju, Sima Dejiao, Yuan Li, Pei Qiantong, Zhao Xingshu and dozens of other people were shocked, and they bowed in fear: "The grace of the saint is vast, and the ministers are grateful!" The ministers swore that for the rest of their lives, they would be loyal to the saint and the Great Sui, and they would do their best for the royal cause of the Great Sui and die! ”

"Alright, alright! Get up! After a little tapping, Yang Guang's face returned to a smile, and he said casually: "Shen Guang led the Praetorian Guard Battalion into the city with me, and the rest of the army will camp here!" ”

"No!" Lai Hu'er led the generals to lead the order.
