From the night of the ninth year of the emperor's reign on Chinese New Year's Eve, the Sui Dynasty general Han Jihu led 500 people who dared to die to quarry stones, and until March, when Yuwen Shu and Yan Rong's troops met in Wuzhou, the Sui Dynasty's three-way army swept away Qianjun and destroyed decay, and in less than 100 days, it leveled Southern Chen in one fell swoop and realized the reunification of the north and the south.

After the Sui army occupied 30 state cities in the six counties of Nanchen, Yang Guang, the king of Jin, ordered Chen Shubao, the queen of Nanchen, to write an edict to Mrs. Xian, the leader of the barbarian tribes in Lingnan, explaining to Mrs. Xian that Nanchen had been destroyed by the Sui Dynasty and no longer existed, and asked Mrs. Xian to lead the Lingnan barbarians to change to the Sui Dynasty as vassals.

Because Jiankang was far away from Lingnan, Yang Guang did not wait for Mrs. Xian to reply to Chen Shubao's edict of Zhao'an, that is, Wang Shao was left to guard Jiankang in Jiangzuo Town, and led a group of Chen generals to cross the river to the north, return to Guangling, and gather Yang Jun and Yang Su to march marshals on the three routes to discuss the matter of asking for merit after the destruction of the Chen Dynasty.

At the same time, because Gao Ying waved his sword on the spot and immediately beheaded Zhang Lihua, whom his father Yang Jian secretly ordered him to ask, Yang Guang also took the opportunity to return to Guangling and truthfully informed Li Yuer of what had happened, and asked him to return to Chang'an first and explain the truth to Yang Jian.

Li Yuer waited in the Generalissimo's Mansion of Guangling for nearly 100 days with great expectations, only to wait for Yang Guang's reply that "the person asked by the emperor has died under the sword of Dugu Gong", and he couldn't help but be disappointed, hastily packed his bags, and returned to Chang'an to report to Yang Jian.

At the meeting of the marshals of the Three Routes held three days after Yang Guang's return to Guangling, Yang Jun and Yang Su, the two marching marshals, knew that this time the army was attacking Chen, and the armies of the Central and Western Routes were all sent by crossing the river to capture Jiankang, the capital of the Southern Chen Emperor, in response to the East Route Army, so they showed a very humble posture when they reported their merits to the imperial court for their generals, and attributed most of the credit for the complete victory of the war to Yang Guang's Eastern Route Army.

Despite this, Gao Ying was entrusted with the important task of the generalissimo's mansion as the chief assistant of the dynasty, and was responsible for coordinating the soldiers and horses of the three routes. Out of respect for Gao Ying, Yang Guang also agreed to his suggestion on the spot.

On the contrary, during the subsequent discussion of the exploits of the generals of the Eastern Route Army, there was a fierce dispute between the two generals who took the lead in leading the army across the river, He Ruobi and Han Baohu, which made the atmosphere in the council room of the Marshal's Mansion tense immediately.

Among the two generals, the first was He Ruobi, who strongly opposed Gao Ying's proposal to list Han Baohu, who was the first to attack Jiankang, as the head of the generals of the Eastern Route Army in the Xugong Song Chapter, which was reported to the imperial court.

He Ruobi accused Han Baohu of leading the army to cross the river first, but after crossing the river, he did not fight a decent battle with the Nanchen army, and it was when he was reinforced by Yang Guang's army, he took advantage of Pei Yun's opportunity to oppose Ren Zhong, and took advantage of the opportunity to attack Jiankang City before him. And the soldiers and horses led by him not only quickly captured the important town of South Xuzhou along the river after crossing the river, but also defeated the 100,000 soldiers and horses of Nanchen in Jiangshan with only 8,000 soldiers and horses, which can be called a miracle in the history of the three-hundred-year struggle between the north and the south.

Since Yang Guang visited the former enemy a few months ago and became acquainted with He Ruobi, he was first assassinated by assassins sent by Xu Zijian, the master of the quarrying of southern Chen, in the territory under his jurisdiction, and then learned that He Ruobi forcibly robbed Chen Shubao to his camp when he first entered Jiankang, and wanted to use Chen Shubao as his trophy to ask the court for merit and reward, so he did not leave a good impression on He Ruobi. Defiant.

He Ruobi was also out of a moment of excitement, mistakenly thinking that Yang Guang scolded him in public, that is, he wanted to protect Han Baohu, and rushed to expose that after Han Baohu's troops entered and occupied Jiankang, he indulged the soldiers in the city to loot civilian property, ** palace maids, concubines, and concubines, and asked Yang Guang to treat Han Baohu's subordinates ineffectively in accordance with military orders.

Yang Su saw that the two generals of the East Route Army were about to tear their faces on the spot, and they were about to make a fuss, so they hurriedly glanced at Yang Jun, and the two stood up together, hugged their fists and proposed to Yang Guang and Gao Ying to retreat, and led the generals of the Central and Western Roads to avoid the meeting hall first.

"He Ruobi, you accuse Han Baohu of indulging the soldiers of the department of looting goods in Jiankang City, ** palace people, concubines, is there conclusive evidence?" Yang Guang didn't expect He Ruobi to leave no face for himself, and in front of many generals in the other two route armies, he revealed Han Baohu's old background, and asked him with a sinking face.

"Gao Servant was also in Jiankang City at that time, and he can testify for the last general!" He Ruobi held the attitude of competing with Han Baohu to defeat Chen Shougong, and pulled Gao Ying in again.

Gao Ying heard that He Ruobi wanted to testify for him, confirming that Han Baohu had indeed indulged in all kinds of ugly acts of sergeants and looting, and couldn't help but instinctively feel a disgust for He Ruobi, so he got up and apologized to Yang Guang and said: "Back to the prince, since following Han Baohu's troops and horses into Jiankang, at first two or three days in Taicheng to urge the army to seal the treasury, and ask the captured Nanchen Empress about the affairs of the Nanchen Dynasty, I have not witnessed the situation of our army violating the prohibition and violence in the city, but Fubo immediately led the army into the city, taking advantage of a certain outing, Chen Shubao was taken captive from Taicheng to his camp, and was not released until the prince entered the city. ”

"Gao Ying, you, you!" He Ruobi saw that Gao Ying was so partial to Han Baohu, he was so angry that he trembled, and his finger was Gao Ying, and he couldn't speak for a while.

"Ben Shuai looks at the posture of the two of you, and it may be difficult to tell the right and wrong for a while. Come on, and He Ruobi and Han Baohu will be imprisoned and detained, and when the marshal returns to the court, the two of them will go to fight for merit with their father. Yang Guang glanced at Gao Ying dissatisfied, put down this sentence, got up and walked away, and hung the huge head of the court in the council hall of the Shuai Mansion.

Because of the merit of the two generals of the East Route Army, the marshal of the Third Route gathered in Guangling, and the meeting to discuss the military exploits of Chen broke up unhappily.

After the meeting, Yang Jun and Yang Su inquired that Yang Guang had actually taken He Ruobi and Han Baohu into prison and detained them, and they both had a premonition that this matter had a tendency to develop towards an uncontrollable result, so they resigned to Yang Guang and Gao Ying successively, and returned to Chang'an first with the three marshals jointly agreed on the merits of the generals of the Chinese and Western routes.

Yang Guang, as the commander of the whole army of the three-way army to attack Chen, was not allowed to return to the court without following the edict, so he gave a note to his father Yang Jian in Guangling, and asked Yang Jian for instructions on how to deal with Chen Shubao, the queen of Southern Chen.

Half a month later, Yang Jian's edict was issued to Guangling, canonizing Chen Shubao, the queen of Southern Chen, as the Duke of the Great Wall, and allowing Yang Guang to play, temporarily ordering Wang Shao to lead the army to guard Jiangzuo, and ordering Yang Guang and Gao Ying to lead the generals of Chen to play a triumphant song to return to the court.
