When the imperial banquet came to an end, Yang Guang glanced at Ma Deru, Ma Deru understood, and immediately asked the dancing girls to retreat, and everyone knew that Yang Guang had something to say, so they all listened respectfully.

Yang Guang looked at Lai Hu'er, who looked bad, "Lai Aiqing, what happened to the 35,000 defeated troops that your navy and the Goryeo people exchanged for?" ”

Of the 35,000 defeated troops, 20,000 were collected by Li Yin, and only 15,000 were exchanged for Gao Jianwu on the condition of withdrawing from Pyongyang City, because the warships could only squeeze out so many people, so they only asked Goryeo for so many people.

When reporting to Yang Guang, Zhou Fashang felt that it was really unpleasant to hand over the capital of Goryeo with only 15,000 people, so he said that the 20,000 defeated troops collected by Li Yin were exchanged for Goryeo.

Laihu'er stood up and bowed down and replied, "Your Majesty, as you ordered, a new camp has been built next to the naval barracks in Donglai County, and those people have been placed in that new camp. ”

After hearing this, Yang Guang nodded, and then said lightly: "You are responsible, kill all those people." ”

"What!" The people in the Taining Hall were all people with rich experience, but after hearing Yang Guang's decision, they were basically shocked and shouted.

Nayan Suwei immediately stood up, "They are all ordinary soldiers, even if they are defeated, the main responsibility lies with a few generals, what do they have to do with them?" Please also ask Your Majesty to take back your order! ”

After Zhou Fashang heard Su Wei's words, he immediately knelt down and persuaded Yang Guang to take back his life.

Yang Guang said angrily: "Defeat is not a big deal, and it is not their fault that they fled, but those who are prisoners and do not serve the country deserve to die!" ”

Zhou Fashang kowtowed more than ten heads in a row, knocked his forehead bleeding, and begged Yang Guang to reclaim his fame with tears, not to mention anything else, among the 35,000 people, but there were 20,000 or 20,000 people, it was because of his big stroke of the pen that he changed from "rout" to "prisoner", he didn't think much about it at that time, just to make the withdrawal from Pyongyang more reasonable, if they were all killed, then he would kill people miserably.

Yang Guang snorted a few times, as if he was determined to kill those people.

Li Yin was also very uneasy in his heart, these 35,000 people returned to the Sui Dynasty because of him, without him Li Yin, the biggest possibility for these people is to become slaves, as cattle and horses for the Goryeo people for a lifetime, but not to die.

Li Yin never expected that Yang Guang would kill his own people, just because they had the name of being captives!

Li Yin took a deep breath and walked out, he was also planning to persuade Yang Guang to retract that bloody order,

But Li Yin knew that Yang Guang, as the most powerful person in the world, was also the most stubborn person in the world, and if he could listen to the slightest advice from others, the Battle of Goryeo would not have been a fiasco.

"Your Majesty, please spare their lives, send them to the frontier, the last general is willing to give up all the exploits of this battle and atone for their sins!" Li Yin knelt down and pleaded.

As soon as Li Yin's words came out, Yang Guang was obviously stunned for a moment, and the other people in the hall were also stunned, his great achievement was a full eight turns, which was enough for him to be promoted to several levels of officials, but he said no, he didn't want it.

Yang Guang looked at Li Yin with an angry face, and the people in the hall didn't dare to say anything at this time.

After a long time, Yang Guang finally spoke: "Since you are willing to use your merits to atone for the sins of those who deserve to die, then I will spare their lives!" ”

After Li Yin heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Guang said again: "But the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, so send them to Meng County in Taiyuan County to mine ore!" ”

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful!" The officials echoed loudly.

Yang Guang looked at Li Yin with a disappointed expression, "You are a general, my Great Sui has always been eclectic in the use of talents, I originally planned to promote you to be an eagle general, and next year I will lead the army to Goryeo, but now I can't do this, you can be a small captain for the time being, and help me suppress those anti-thieves!" ”

"The last general, thank you, Lord Longen!" Li Yin shouted with joy in his heart.

Su Wei walked out again with an excited expression, "Your Majesty, you ...... Why do you want to conquer Goryeo again? ”

Yang Guang's face changed, and he looked at Su Wei coldly and said, "What, what decision did I make, did I still ask you?" ”

"The old minister doesn't dare." Su Wei knew that what he said just now was a little inappropriate, so he hurriedly confessed, sorted out his emotions, and continued: "Your Majesty, this battle can no longer be fought, now there are anti-people everywhere, the fields are barren, and the people are displaced, the imperial court should concentrate its forces, quickly exterminate the anti-people, and then rest and breathe, and restore the national strength is the best policy!" ”

Yang Guang snorted, "What can be done with those mud legs?" Let the county lieutenants and eagle Yanglang from all over the country send troops to exterminate them. Gao Yuan Xiao'er, extremely cunning and capricious, this time I will not be soft-hearted, when the million army comes to Liaodong again, it will be the day when Gao Yuan Xiao'er is headed! ”

"Your Majesty......" Su Wei wanted to persuade again, but Yang Guang flicked his sleeves, stood up and said: "I'm tired, everyone Aiqing should go back, from tomorrow, let's start preparing for the expedition to Goryeo!" ”

"Holy Ride!" Ma Rude shouted sharply, and Yang Guang quickly left the Taining Palace.

……

At noon on the second day, Li Yin received a holy decree to reward him, although at the imperial banquet that day, Li Yin said that he was willing to use all his merits to beg Yang Guang to spare the lives of those 35,000 people, but Yang Guang did not intend to reward him with nothing.

The reward Li Yin received was: 500 taels of silver, from the fifth rank of the military generals scattered - Yitong 3 Division, and the 6th grade of the sour jujube Ying Yangfu captain.

The military generals are scattered and ranked, divided into the following types: Governor (from the seventh product), Shuai Du Governor (from the sixth product), Dadu Governor (from the sixth product), Yitong three divisions (from the fifth product), Che Cavalry General (from the fifth product), Shangyi with the third division (from the fourth product), Kaifu Yi with the third division (from the fourth product), Hussar General (from the third product), Shangkai Fuyi with the third division (from the third product), the general (from the second product), the great general (from the second product), the pillar country (from the first product), the Shangzhu country (the first product), a total of eleven and so on.

Below the sixth grade, there are forty-three miscellaneous generals such as Yijun, and sixteen ranks, those who have positions are deacons, and those who have no positions are scattered officials.

Li Yin's Yi Tong Sansi scattered rank is from the fifth grade, which looks very good, but in fact, the use of the scattered rank is not great, it is an honorary nature, in Luoyang City, to the children of meritorious ministers, there are Fu Yi with the three divisions, hussar generals and above the scattered rank, it is necessary to be able to catch a handful.
