Volume 5 Whose Great Cause Chapter 3 Reinforcements
"See the emperor!" Under the leadership of Su Wei and Yuan Yan, the ministers saluted Yang Yong together.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please be courteous! I have summoned you Aiqing to come today, I think you Aiqing also know that there is an urgent report from the border pass, and at present, the Eastern Turkic Qiming Khan is not willing to be lonely, and colludes with Goguryeo, under the leadership of the traitor Murong Sanzang, to invade several states at our border pass, I will never tolerate this matter, what can you do to meet the enemy? ”
"Your Majesty, the soldiers are coming, the water is flooding, and the ministers are willing to go to the border to meet the enemy." He Ruobi spoke first to greet him.
"Your Majesty, the ministers are also willing to go."
"Your Majesty, the ministers are also willing to go." They have just been promoted by the new emperor, and they are eager to make meritorious contributions, for them, the Turks and Goguryeo people have come at the right time, and they don't care what strategy.
Su Wei, Niu Hong, Yang Shangxi and others frowned, now that the new emperor has just ascended the throne, the foundation is not stable, Murong Sanzang's rebellion is a good footnote, the most taboo large-scale use of troops, some time ago the new emperor dealt with so many families, who knows how many hidden enemies there are in the country? It's just out of caution that before the new emperor didn't make a statement, they didn't dare to oppose it casually, and they were silent all the time.
Seeing that these old ministers did not move, Yang Yong's eyes couldn't help but turn to them, everyone's eyes couldn't help but flicker, Yong fixed his eyes on Su Wei, and asked: "Su Aiqing, you are Shangshu's left servant, what do you think of this invasion of the Eastern Turks and Goguryeo?" ”
"Back to the emperor, the minister thought that there was no need to make a big move, and he could make a few soldiers and horses retreat." Su Wei replied stiffly.
"Oh, since that's the case, then Su Aiqing will talk about it."
Seeing that the emperor was not angry, Su Wei settled his mind, stroked the beard under his chin, and then said leisurely: "Your Majesty." In this border invasion, it seems that there are three large armies, but in fact, only one army is a threat to the court, and the Goguryeo people have the general Dongyi to block them in front of them. Unless they can defeat General Luo Yi, they can only pass through the Eastern Turkic land, not to mention whether the relationship between the Eastern Turks and Goguryeo can be so close, that is, the Eastern Turks are willing to borrow the road, and the Goguryeo army also needs to make a detour of thousands of miles to the border of the Great Sui. It is already a tired army, and our Great Sui border army can easily defeat them, so the Goguryeo people have nothing to fear, only General Luo Yi can deal with them. ”
With the lack of men and horses, all the generals were a little frustrated, but they knew that what Su Wei said was the truth, unless now the Great Sui army crossed the Liao River and launched an attack on Goguryeo. Otherwise, there should be nothing to do with them.
In the eighteenth year of the emperor's reign, because the Goguryeo king Gao Yuanqin led more than 10,000 cavalry to invade Liaoxi, Yang Jian's anger was aroused, and he ordered Yang Liang, the king of Han, to be the marshal, Luo Yi, Shi Wansui deputy, Gao Ying to join the army, and the general leader of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to attack Goguryeo. It can be said that the army has a wide range of soldiers, and the army has been fighting to Shanhaiguan, but in the face of the vast land of Liaodong, it is difficult to transport grain and grass, and it is not suitable for water and soil, and it has encountered the plague, and the army is suddenly demoralized, and it is in a dilemma.
Fortunately, in the face of the large-scale attack of the Sui army. Goguryeo was also panicked, and urgently sent envoys to apologize for their sins and sue for peace, and the first emperor took the opportunity to withdraw his troops, and did not lose the face of the Great Sui, but. The departure army still suffered heavy losses. Let the Great Sui realize the difficulty of Goguryeo,
The Goguryeo people were also well aware of this. It is estimated that this time the troops are just to disgust the Great Sui, by the way to see if they can get a little cheap, if they want them to attack the Great Sui in a big way, as long as Goguryeo does not go crazy, I am afraid it will not be so bold.
"Well, what Aiqing said is reasonable, even if Goguryeo is lucky, I will spare him for this offense, I will send a decree to General Luo Yi, let him take strict precautions, if there is a chance, you can also kill the Liaohe, Aiqing is not a bad minister, think carefully, and continue." Yang Yong encouraged that Yang Guang was planted on the Three Expeditions to Goguryeo, and of course Yang Yong would not repeat the mistakes of the past.
If you want to attack Goguryeo, only by attacking by water will not happen because of the difficulty of transporting grain to cause hundreds of thousands of troops to lack food, the Great Sui Navy was originally quite strong when it unified the south, but after the unification of the south, the emperor thought that the navy was useless, and because there were many repetitions in the south, in order to prevent the rebels in the south from escaping to the sea by boat, Yang Jian repeatedly ordered the collection of civilian ships, and officially issued an order in the eighteenth year of the emperor: those who have three boats in the civil sector will all enter the official.
The ban on ships by the people will inevitably affect the sailors, and the Great Sui sailors have not only not improved compared to the unification of Southern Chen, but their strength has decreased a lot, however, although Yang Yong could not persuade his father to reattach importance to the sailors, he could exert his own influence, the shipbuilding skills of the Great Sui were not lost, and the craftsmen were all ready, but it would take at least a few years to form a sailor who could fight against Goguryeo to destroy the country.
Don't say a few years, in order to succeed in the first battle, even ten years Yang Yong can wait, Su Wei thought that Yang Yong had just ascended the throne, and he would inevitably be young and vigorous, and he refused to take a step back, and he was still nervous at the beginning. After receiving the emperor's praise, he immediately mustered up his courage: "Your Majesty, the Eastern Turkic Qiming Khan is timid by nature, and this invasion of the Great Sui is mostly bewitched by Murong Sanzang, as long as the emperor continues to send an envoy to the Changsun Sheng to sternly admonish the Qiming Khan, the Qiming Khan will definitely be afraid and retreat, so that only the traitor Murong Sanzang is left all the way, only a few state soldiers need to encircle and suppress, and the day of Murong Sanzang's defeat is not far away." ”
Su Wei finished speaking in one breath, his face showed a hint of triumph, Goguryeo is small and pointed, and the Eastern Turks are large and empty, both of which are difficult to deal with, and the void does not mean that the Eastern Turks are weak, but that the area occupied by the Eastern Turks is too sparsely populated, and it is difficult for the Han people to gain a foothold, even if they are defeated, it is useless.
"Lord Su, Takami." Regarding Su Wei's strategy, Niu Hong, Li Gang and others agreed.
"How can this work, how can I let the Turkic children come and leave whenever they want." He Ruobi objected loudly.
"Yes, Your Majesty, you can't let the Turkic children come and go freely, otherwise even if the Eastern Turks withdraw this time, they will definitely repeat in the future." Qu Tutong and other generals opposed Su Wei's words.
"Your Majesty, the country should not raise soldiers because of anger, if the soldiers are together, it is the people of the world who suffer."
"What is the cause of anger? It's obvious that the Turkic children are too rampant. If they are not defeated, will the people on the border not suffer? ”
"Qiming Khan was only confused for a while, and he was tempted by traitors to attack, and the official position of Qiming Khan was still sealed by the first emperor. If you send an envoy to make the Qiming Khan lose his way, why not? ”
"It is precisely because Qiming is the first emperor to be personally sealed, that the traitor who will take revenge for such a favor should be dealt with head-on."
The two sides argued fiercely that there was no obvious distinction between civil and military in the Great Sui, and literati could often lead the army, and some knowledgeable military generals could also serve as civilians, thanks to the centuries-old turmoil in the north. Whether it is knowledge or martial arts are in the hands of the family, some children from the family are often all-rounders, in this regard, Yu Qing is a good representative, it is precisely because Yu Qing is in the military, the court has a huge force, Yang Jian is not at ease with Yu Qing, and he was executed for the crime of treason.
However, it is impossible for the civil and military forces to be free from conflict. This time, in the face of the joint invasion of the Turks and Goguryeo, the military generals felt that the time had come to make meritorious contributions, but the civil officials wanted to make big things small and cultivate their literature.
Seeing the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs arguing in front of him, Yang Yong was furious, and slammed his hand on the table, and suddenly there was a loud "bang".
Hearing the sound, everyone was startled, and then remembered that this was a matter in front of the king. hurriedly saluted: "Your Majesty, the ministers are out of order." Please forgive the emperor. ”
"Quarrel like this, what kind of system, Qing and others don't have to fight anymore, I have made a decision, sent Changsun Sheng to envoy to the Eastern Turks, and asked if the Turkic conscience was eaten by dogs, if there is no me Dasui, his bones are cold. If I don't retreat early, my army will be shattered to dust when it arrives......"
As soon as the emperor's words fell, the civil official group was immediately overjoyed, which meant that the new emperor finally adopted the opinion of the civil official. A great war can be invisible. The military general was unwilling, and He Ruobi shouted: "Your Majesty." The minister has something to say......"
Yang Yong raised his hand to stop He Ruobi's words: "Needless to say, I know it in my heart, Qu Tutong, Zhang Xingzhi listens to orders!" ”
"The minister is here!"
"I Fenger and the other two are the deputy commanders of the march, and Yang Liang, the king of Han, is the commander of the marches, commanding the four roads of Bingzhou, Mayi, Yanzhou, and Hengzhou, counterattacking the Turkic army, and I Kexuer and others went deep into the Turkic territory to plunder the people, horses, cattle and sheep, and population, remember, this time against the Turks, there will be no chickens and dogs!"
"The emperor is wise, and the ministers are in order." Qu Tutong and Zhang Xingzhi looked happy, and although the other generals did not have their turn to go on the expedition, they also showed a smile on their faces and raised their eyebrows. After this battle, the Turks may no longer be able to subdue the Great Sui, but will become the mortal enemy of the Great Sui, and the Turks will not be able to fight and hide in the depths of the steppe, but the Great Sui will always worry about the retaliation of the Turks in the future.
Su Wei, Niu Hong and others hurriedly fell to the ground: "Please think twice!" ”
"I've thought twice, the Turks, the wolf nature, no matter how the Great Sui treats, there will eventually be a day when the Lord will be opposed, it was like this before, and now the Qiming Khan is the same, if I don't hit it head-on, how can I exchange the Great Sui for long-term peace and stability?"
The emperor's words, so that Su Wei and others can not refute, the Turks are indeed full of wolf nature, and worship wolf nature, repeated nature, but the tone revealed from the emperor's words still makes them uneasy, the first emperor and the later period are all Yanwu Xiuwen, the new emperor ascends the throne, once he likes martial arts, I am afraid that the world will be troubled from now on.
"Yang Aiqing, Yun Aiqing, together with the war, the soldiers on the front line will definitely need more armor, food, grass and military supplies, and you must not slack off."
"The emperor can rest assured that the household department has sufficient money and food, and the ministers are worried about the lack of grain depots, and they will ensure the needs of the front line."
"Your Majesty, the same is true of the Ministry of Industry, all kinds of weapons and armor have been piled up, and the ministers can also ensure the needs of the front line."
Yang Shangxi and Yun Dingxing's words suddenly made the entire palace feel relaxed, now is not the time when the court is embarrassed in the early years of the emperor, how huge is the accumulated capital of Emperor Wen for more than 20 years, why do you need to make concessions to the Turks?
Mayi, the weather in November has begun to be cold, the north wind crosses the Great Wall, whistling towards the soldiers on the city wall, the soldiers in black armor are still standing at the head of the wall, motionless, the city is a mess, and the uneven ground can still see stains of blood, which are left by the Turks in the attacking place.
Looking down from the head of Mayi City, for several miles, there are countless large bags like snow-capped mountains. These large bags are all owned by the Turks. Tens of thousands of Turkic armies hid in these large bags, and when they arrived at Mayi, they also sent men and horses to plunder the inhabitants of the border areas everywhere, and also tentatively attacked the walls of Mayi for several days. After seeing that Mayi was well defended, the Turks gave up their attempt to capture Mayi, but some small counties around it made the Turks choke enough, and after the Turks broke the county seat, they not only robbed the county seat, but also plundered the people into the grassland. Degraded to slavery.
The Turks crossed the Great Wall in early October, entered the territory of Mayi, when the weather was still warm, for more than a month, the county seat outside Mayi was almost robbed by the Turks, at least tens of thousands of people were plundered by the Turks as slaves, these Turks will rob the land and the people swaggered outside the city of Mayi, so that the Sui army in the city was so angry that they almost gritted their teeth, if it were not for the fact that there were too few troops in the city. Coupled with the strict orders of Lord Taishou, the officers and soldiers in the city will immediately open the door and fight to the death with the Turks.
Fortunately, after the weather turned cold, the Turks rarely came out, but from time to time they ran to the city to threaten the city, but there was a little bit of a desire to spend the winter under the city of Mayi. Of course, this is impossible, although Mayi is warmer than the traditional winter place of the Turks, but the winter is still dripping into ice, if the Turks dare to spend the winter in the tent, as long as the officers and soldiers in the city make a sneak attack, I am afraid that most of the Turks will be annihilated. In another half a month at most, if the Turks could no longer capture Mayi, they would have to obediently return to the steppe, or scatter to live in the county town below Mayi.
If the Turks disperse their forces, it will not be without a chance for the officers and soldiers of Mayi City, and if they go back, it will be regarded as a victory for Mayi. It's just a bit embarrassing to win such a victory, but, judging by the situation a few days ago, the other side will not even give such a victory, and another army will join up with the Turks who came first. This army is wearing the same armor as the Sui army. And he also brought a large number of siege equipment, obviously the other party wanted to capture Mayi City.
Only then did the officers and soldiers of Mayi City know. The other party is not not not attacking the city, but waiting for this rebel army, although everyone despises Murong Sanzang, who defected, but has to admit that Murong Sanzang is a strong enemy, and the ghost army of the Murong family is even more famous, plus Murong Sanzang is very familiar with the military affairs of various states, it is very likely that Ma Yi really can't stop the other party's attack for half a month, and the officers and soldiers of Ma Yi are suddenly eagerly looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements from the court.
At the south gate of Mayi, Ma Yi guarded Pei Yun temporarily abandoned the defense of Mayi, and stood respectfully outside the south gate with many officials, a dust and smoke rose in the distance, and an official shouted softly: "Coming, coming." ”
Everyone straightened up, stretched their heads and looked forward, and an official couldn't help but ask softly, "The envoy is here, I don't know how many reinforcements will be brought?" ”
"Hehe, I heard that the envoy who came here, Lord Changsun, has eight friendships with the new emperor, how many troops do you say can come?"
"At least there could be tens of thousands."
The two of them talked a lot, and the surrounding officials also had a smile on their faces when they heard it, with tens of thousands of troops, Ma Yi would be safe, even if there were many enemies, they could not break through, even Pei Yun listened with a smile and did not stop it.
In the past few days, although the Turks have not attacked, but the arrival of Murong Sanzang, even the pressure in the hearts of the officers and soldiers in the interior of the city is increasing, everyone knows, the other party does not attack, the first attack must be the top of Mount Tai, the Ma Yi soldiers are only 5,000, how to fight against the opponent's army of 70,000 or 80,000, if all are Turks, it is just that, the other party has a traitor to the Sui army who has a deep siege battle.
The smoke and dust are getting closer and closer, and all the officials feel that something is wrong, that bit of dust and smoke does not look like an army at all, the figure of the other party is visible, and on the road, only more than ten horsemen flew over.
"Phew!" More than a dozen horsemen stopped in front of the city gate, and among them, a middle-aged man in his forties, with a weathered face and a long yellow beard, led the crowd out and shouted, "Who is Ma Yi Taishou?" ”
Pei Yun came out of the crowd: "The next official is Ma Yi Taishou Pei Yun, see Lord Qincha." ”
That middle-aged man is the chief Sun Sheng of the Qin mission this time, for more than 20 years, the eldest grandson Sheng has been running to the front line, and this time he sent an envoy to Mayi, and he also received the holy decree directly at another border pass, and rushed to Mayi with stars and moons.
"Master Pei is exempt, the military situation is urgent, let's hurry up and enter the city."
An official couldn't help but ask, "Lord Qin, I wonder how many reinforcements the emperor sent to me this time?" ”
Changsun Sheng smiled slightly: "The reinforcements you need are here." ”
"Ahh Hearing this, looking at the more than ten people around Changsun Sheng, all the officials who greeted Qinchadi Mayi were stunned.
