Chapter Twenty-Eight: Educating the Generals of the Xiaoguo Army (II)
Yang Guang nodded, his face was not red, and his heart was not beating: "Yes, let's go to Guanzhong, it is most convenient to take the Pengcheng waterway, and the place that must be passed is Liyang." Liyang has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, it is the key crossing of the Yellow River, located in the Haihe River Basin, it is Li Mi's military town, there are a large number of ordnance and grain and grass, and his general, the old thief Xu Shiji personally guarded, he will not let us go easily! ”
"Li Mibing has many generals, plenty of food and grass, is scheming, resourceful and changeable, and is currently the most powerful prince in the world, and even Li Yuan regards him as the leader of the alliance, which shows the strength of his power. You all think that I have no heart to look westward, so the people of the world must also have this understanding. Therefore, I secretly planned early on, just to give Li Mi a surprise attack! ”
"If you want Li Mi to relax her guard, you must plan secretly, if you don't hide it, how can you hide it from Li Mi! Now it's all messed up by you!! Do I have to report to you the military secrets that I personally ordered to be executed? ”
Hearing this, all the generals and colonels of the Xiaoguo army beat their chests and feet, revealing expressions of remorse, and Sima Dejiao continued to slap himself a few times, kowtowed: "Holy Lord, it is the last general's fault who blames you, it is all the fault of the last general, and the last general will be difficult to forgive his sins even if he dies!" ”
Seeing this, the other generals and colonels of the Xiaoguo Army also kept kowtowing to admit their mistakes, and even more so, such as Meng Bing, knocked the ground so loudly that a large patch of blood appeared on his forehead, almost knocking his head to pieces.
Yang Guang couldn't bear it, and pulled up the generals and colonels of the Xiaoguo Army one by one, and said: "The matter has come to this point, the plan to secretly raid Li Mi will definitely not work, so I won't say more." But it is a fact that you are plotting a rebellion, although you have been bewitched by Yuwen Zhiji, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, and you are now dismissed from all official positions, and you are demoted to the rank of captain at the grassroots level of the Xiaoguo Army, medical officer, quartermaster, etc., you can be convinced? ”
The generals of the Xiaoguo Army have committed a capital crime, life and death are all in the hands of Yang Guang, it is very good to be able to pick up a life from the hands of Lord Yama, and he can continue to be demoted and retained, which is already a great favor!
So the generals were overjoyed, and they all said: "The saint treats me well on weekdays, and I wait for the pig and dog to commit the crime of rebellion and death, and now, the saint is so gracious, this kindness, I can't pay it off in this life, and I will be a cow and a horse in the next life to repay the grace of God!" ”
Pei Qiantong stepped forward and said: "The saint treats me like a mountain, not only to promote the last general from the grassroots level, but also to give the last general the heavy responsibility of guarding the palace, this kindness is heavier than Mount Tai!" Pei Qiantong actually took revenge, which was simply a vain minister. Fortunately forgiven by the saint, Pei Qiantong no longer cares about personal honor and disgrace, he is only willing to be a cow and a horse for the saint, although he dies nine times, he still has no regrets! ”
Meng Bing held the blood on his face and followed: "Yes, Holy Lord! Don't say that there are captains, brigade rates, and teams that are legitimate, that is, let the last general be a small soldier and charge ahead, and the last general is not ambiguous! ”
"Generals, don't worry, I have officially decided to return to the two divisions of the Northern Expedition!" Yang Guang paused and continued: "But before that, I will hold a grand military parade, and I hope that you can lead the Xiaoguo Army to show your best side, so that I can see the heroic appearance of my Great Sui Xiaoguo Army!" ”
Hearing this, Sima Dejiao's eyes lit up and said, "Military parade? Is the saint planning to use the military parade to boost morale, and then go on a northern expedition in one fell swoop? ”
Yang Guangzheng said: "Not only to boost morale, but also to issue an edict in front of all the generals, all the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army, and even the people of the whole world, and admit all the mistakes I have made since I succeeded to the throne!" ”
"Holy!" The generals of the Xiaoguo Army were shocked and said.
Yang Guang continued: "Not only that, but I also want to tell the world that Yang Guang, who was the emperor for eight years and commanded 500,000 elite soldiers to wipe out Nanchen in one fell swoop, has returned!" Yang Guang, who was the emperor for 20 years and commanded 150,000 elite soldiers and defeated Bujia Khan, is back! In the fourth year of that great cause, Yang Guang, who commanded 300,000 elite soldiers to defeat Tuguhun, came back! I have regained my strength, and I want to swear in front of all the civil and military officials, the soldiers of the whole army, and the people of the world, to regain the rivers and mountains, rebuild the Great Sui, and return the universe to a bright future! ”
Huyalang persuaded Ma Wenju: "The saint is the son of the mandate of heaven, and he is very noble, and now the situation is like this, the matter of the edict of the sin is afraid to be used by those who have a heart, and I hope that the saint will think twice!" ”
Yang Guang shook his head and said, "The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people!" If I don't dare to face my heart, face up to my mistakes, and have the courage to admit my mistakes, then how can I become the supreme of the world and the leader of the people? ”
"No one is perfect without gold! No man is born wise or learned? Even sages make mistakes, let alone people. An emperor who never admits his mistakes is precisely the biggest mistake he makes! Therefore, it is not terrible for generals to make mistakes, the key is whether you face up to your own mistakes, face your own hearts, only when you understand your mistakes, can you correct them and be a better version of yourself! ”
As soon as these words came out, all the generals and colonels of the Xiaoguo Army bowed down and bowed down with emotion: "The words of the saint are like an initiation, so that the last general will suddenly open his mouth!" ”
Yang Guang smiled slightly and said, "The first thing I want the generals to do now is to announce that I will make up for the first of the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army after returning to the camp, and immediately carry out this edict!" ”
"All the 17,000 officers and soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army who participated in the siege of Yanmen will be compensated for all the rewards they have received over the years according to the records in the battle merit book. For the soldiers who have died or are missing, the military department will remember their merits, wait for the world to decide, find their families, and return the pension and bounty to their homes. For the soldiers who were still on duty in the Xiaoguo army, they were given three years of due salaries and rewards from the eleventh to the fourteenth year of the Great Cause, and they were immediately given six rank and above as loose officials. ”
"Holy!"
"Holy! The last general will thank God for the brethren! ”
"The grace of the saint, the liver and brain will be smeared on the ground, and there is no way to repay it!"
To tell the truth, most of these generals and colonels of the Xiaoguo army followed Yang Guang through the siege of Yanmen, and everyone desperately resisted the Turkic attack with their lives day and night, but the battle was won, and the promise made by Emperor Yang of Sui was greatly discounted.
At this moment, the generals of the Xiaoguo Army were happy and moved from the bottom of their hearts to be able to personally bring back the rewards they deserved to the camp.
Pei Qiantong's eyes were a little moist, and he seemed to see that His Royal Highness the King of Jin, who had led countless heroes and heroes in the world to bend his waist, was back!
He is the old man who has followed Yang Guang for the longest time among the people here, he knows where Yang Guang's peak is, he hasn't seen the former King of Jin for a long, long time, but today, he knows, His Royal Highness the King of Jin, is back!
