Chapter Thirty-Eight: Coming to Protect the Child

Hearing this, Yang Guang laughed, waved his hand and praised: "Haha! The general is still the same, full of confidence! ”

Chen Ling also said on the side: "In terms of seniority, the current generals have the longest seniority among the generals in the DPRK; In terms of official positions, General Lai is the third division of the Kaifu Yitong, the general of the right Yiwei, and the prince of Rongguo, and he is the most civil and military official; Not to mention the military merits, the general has experienced a hundred battles and made great achievements, which can be described as a standard in history! Since the saint has no intention of being the commander, it is only fitting that the general will be the commander of the Northern Expedition! ”

Yang Guang actually intended to let Lai Hu'er be the coach of Wang Shi for a long time, the reason is similar to what Chen Ling said, among the civil and military officials in Jiangdu today, only Lai Hu'er is the most suitable candidate for the coach, and Lai Hu'er's resume also proves this.

Lai Hu'er, the word Chongshan, was born in Xinye Lai, a native of Jiangdu. Both parents died when he was a child, and he was raised by his aunt Wu.

The first time I read "Poems", I sighed and said: The eldest husband is alive, and he will destroy thieves for the country to gain fame. The group was shocked by their words and their ambitions, and they were long, and they showed off their ambitions.

Laihu'er's uncle was killed by fellow villager Tao Wuzi during the Hou Jing Rebellion, and Laihu'er often heard her aunt mention this sadly since she was a child, and she was determined to avenge her uncle when she became an adult. At that time, the Tao family was a local wealthy family, with hundreds of clans, thousands of family properties, and hundreds of family guards. Laihu'er took advantage of the Tao family's marriage to break into the Tao family, stabbed Tao Wuzi, and then took his head to pay tribute to his uncle. The guests present were all shocked by his actions and did not dare to move.

In the first year of the emperor's reign, Emperor Wen of Sui established the Sui Dynasty and ordered He Ruobi to leave the town of Guangling. Laihu'er, who fell into the grass, went down the mountain to join the Sui army, often crossed the river for the Sui army to reconnoitre, and was promoted to the governor of the capital. Later, Laihu'er defeated Zeng Yong, a general of the Chen Dynasty, and added the same three divisions.

In the ninth year of the emperor's opening, he came to Hu'er to pacify the Chen Dynasty with the army, and went to the Kaifu for his merits, and rewarded a thousand horses of silk and satin.

Ten years after the emperor's opening, Gao Zhi raised troops against Sui. Yang Su served as the head of the march and led the army to Jiangnan to quell the rebellion. When he came to protect his childhood, he was the head of the sub-manager, and he offered Yang Su a plan to attack before and after. He personally led hundreds of light ships to smuggle into Zhejiang, raided behind enemy lines with surprise soldiers, and burned down the rebel camps. Yang Su took the opportunity to attack from the front and break the rebels. Gao Zhizhi's soldiers were defeated and fled into the sea, and were pursued by Laihu'er all the way to the area of central Fujian, and were finally completely suppressed. After the war, Laihu'er became a general because of his merits, was promoted to the history of Quanzhou Thorn, and was named the Duke of Xiangyang County.

After that, Laihu'er led an army alone, and successively leveled the high wisdom Yu Dang Sheng Daoyan and Wang Wenjin, and because of his merit, he was promoted to the pillar country and was named the prince of Yongning County. In order to reward the merits of Laihu'er, Emperor Wen of Sui sent a painter to paint his portrait

In the first year of Renshou, he came to protect his son and served as the assassin of Yingzhou. During his tenure in Yingzhou, Laihu'er was deeply loved by the people under his rule. When he left office, he was strongly retained by the people, so he could not leave the country for many days. Hundreds of people also wrote to the imperial court, asking for Lai Hu'er to stay in office.

Later, Emperor Yang of Sui praised: At the beginning, the world was undecided, Qing was a famous general, if it is peaceful today, Qing is a good guard. It can be described as able to write and martial arts!

In the sixth year of the great cause, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty toured the capital of Xingjiang, and came to Hu'er to go with him. Emperor Yang specially rewarded him with property and sacrifices, let him sweep the tombs of his ancestors, feast the elders in the township, and let all the officials above the third grade go to the ancestral house and drink for a day. It is a grand event for the government and the opposition!

In the eighth year of the Great Cause, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo, and since Hu'er was the head of the Pyongyang Provincial March, and also inspected the school Donglai County Taishou. Let him lead the water division from Hunshui into Goguryeo, and dozens of miles outside Pyongyang, break the Goguryeo army, and behead his royal brother Gao Jian.

Later, Laihu'er lightly advanced against the enemy, ignoring the advice of Zhou Fashang, the deputy commander of the navy, and selected 40,000 elite soldiers to go straight to the city of Pyongyang. The Goguryeo army went out of the city to fight, and returned from defeat, and the future Hu'er was introduced into the city. After the Sui army entered the city, they looted and looted in a big way, and the Goguryeo ambush soldiers took the opportunity to kill and defeated the Sui army. The Goguryeo army pursued and killed to the mooring place of the Sui army's warships, and saw that Zhou Fa was still in strict battle before returning.

In the ninth year of the Great Cause, Emperor Yang of Sui conquered Goguryeo for the second time. Laihu'er still sent troops to Canghaidao, preparing to attack by sea. At this time, Yang Xuan falsely claimed that Laihu'er had rebelled, and in the name of crusading against Laihu'er, he rebelled in Liyang, and the soldiers pointed directly at the eastern capital.

At this time, Laihu'er had just arrived in Donglai, so he discussed with Zhou Fashang and planned to return to the army to fight. However, Zhou Fashang and the vast majority of others believed that there was no imperial decree and that they would return to the army without authorization, for fear of going against the holy will and being criticized by the ministers, so they refused to obey the order.

Lai Hu'er said sharply: "The siege of Luoyang is a problem for henchmen, and Goguryeo is just a disease of scabies." I will bear the sin of monopoly, and it has nothing to do with others. If you dare to stop me, military law will do it! Then, Laihu'er immediately reorganized the army and returned to the division to quell the rebellion, and ordered his son to come to Hong and come to Quanchi to report to Emperor Yang of Sui.

In August, Laihu'er and Yuwenshu and others discussed Yang Xuangan. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty added Laihu'er as the three divisions of Kaifu Yitong, and posthumously presented his father to Fa Min Guanju.

In the tenth year of the great cause, Emperor Yang of Sui conquered Goguryeo three times. At that time, the army of the whole country was basically not in place, and the navy army led by only Hu'er was still under the edict, crossed the sea again, marched into the city of Haobei, defeated the Goguryeo army, and prepared to march to Pyongyang. The king of Goguryeo, Gao Yuan, panicked, sent an envoy to Emperor Yang of Sui to surrender, and returned Hu Sizheng, a former soldier of the Sui Dynasty. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty borrowed a donkey to go downhill, accepted the surrender, and ordered to protect the teacher.

Laihu'er summoned the generals and said: "The army has gone out three times, but failed to pacify Goguryeo, and this time I will return to the army, and I will never come back in the future." Now Goguryeo is exhausted, and our army is outnumbered, and with the threat of a great victory, it will be a complete victory in a few days. I intend to directly encircle Pyongyang, capture Gao Yuan, and then return triumphantly. So he went to the emperor and asked to go on an expedition, but refused to return with the edict.

However, the commander of the army, Shi Cui Junsu, tried his best to dissuade him, and he came to protect his son and said: "The general is outside, and the king's order is not affected." I'd rather capture Gao Yuan and return and be punished than give up this chance to succeed. ”

At that time, the Great Sui country had begun to be chaotic, and the soldiers were worried about the country, and Cui Junsu skillfully used the psychology of the generals and said: "If you follow the marshal together, I will definitely denounce your behavior, and when the time comes, if you win the battle, you will also face the charge of disrespecting the decree when you go back!" "The generals were afraid and refused to continue the attack. Seeing that the army's heart had been discharged, Laihu'er had no choice but to lead the army back to the division.

Later, Emperor Yang of Sui had no interest in state affairs and insisted on going to Jiangdu to play, but he repeatedly persuaded Hu'er to no avail, which caused Emperor Yang of Sui to be angry, and he did not summon Laihu'er for several days. Later, Emperor Yang of Sui relieved his anger a little, summoned Hu'er to see him, and said to him: "Even if you think like this, what hope do I have?" Lai Hu'er didn't dare to say anything more.

In the change of Jiangdu, Lai Hu'er was captured by the rebels when he entered the court, and he swore to die and refused to obey, sighing: "As a great Sui pillar minister, I have a heavy responsibility, but I can't purge the traitorous party, so that the royal family and the country have fallen into such a situation." What else can I say besides holding a grudge against Huangquan. So, Laihu'er was killed by the rebels and martyred!

Looking back on the resume of Laihu'er, Yang Guang immediately made a decision, and did not hide it, and announced directly: "Chongshan, since I decided to return to the West of the Northern Expedition, regain the rivers and mountains, and rebuild the Great Sui, I have intended you to be the commander of the Northern Expedition!" I won't say much about the reason, I'm afraid that you will be proud, but I will make a request! ”

Come to Hu'er Zhengse and ask: "Please make it clear to the saint!" ”

Yang Guang's eyes were like torches, staring at Laihu'er's eyes, Laihu'er was not afraid, puffed up his chest, his eyes were open, and he waited for Yang Guang to speak.

"Defeat Li Mi and restore my Central Plains!"
