The first battle of the Sui conquest of Goryeo, from the sixth year of the Great Cause began to prepare in December, in the first month of the seventh year of the Great Cause, the edict let the soldiers of the four sides go north, millions of people to transport grain, until the third day of the first month of the eighth year of the Great Cause, the army set out from Zhuojun, to the defeat of Sashui and then withdrew, the formal war lasted more than eight months, counting the preparation period, it reached more than one year and eight months.

However, in the end, the Sui Dynasty only got a few small cities near Liaodong, killing and wounding 800,000 or 900,000 of the most elite soldiers of the Sui Dynasty.

This battle was undoubtedly an unprecedented fiasco for Sui!

The current Sui Dynasty, compared with the beginning of the war, can be said to be two completely different worlds, the people are displaced, the world is pulling the flag and rebelling, there are many thieves, a chaotic scene, the prosperous era of the emperor more than ten years ago, can only exist in people's minds.

However, although the current situation in the Great Sui is erosive, it has not reached the point of being out of control, because the people who are rebelling now are basically ordinary people who can't survive, and the local officials of the big families have not participated in the rebellion except for those who have been coerced by the exiles.

If Yang Guang starts to stop tossing now, while recuperating and recuperating, reducing labor and labor, and sending troops to exterminate the anti-people, I believe that the situation can be stabilized soon, and the surname Yang can continue in this world.

However, as long as they are clear-eyed people, they now know that they, the emperor of the Great Sui, will continue to fight Goryeo!

When Yang Guang ordered the division to return to the court, the army had just passed Liaoshui, and he ordered people to carry the grain of Luoyang, Liyang, Luokou, Taiyuan and other granaries to the north to look at Haydn, and when they arrived at Zhuojun, Yang Guang ordered Fan Zigai, the general of Zuo Wuwei, to guard this place.

Yang Guang's above-mentioned measures show that he will conquer Goryeo again.

At the beginning of September, Yang Guang returned to the capital Luoyang, and beheaded Liu Shilong to thank the world, Yuwenshu and Yu Zhongwen were all removed as civilians, and only Wei Wensheng, Wang Rengong, and Xue Shixiong were able to keep their official positions.

Of course, there is a reward for punishment, although there are few meritorious service of a million foot soldiers, but the naval army not only has good results, but also finally captured Pyongyang, the capital of Goryeo.

The fact that the navy was able to fight like this finally made Yang Guang feel a little relieved at this time.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of War has brought the merit book of the Navy Army!" Ma Deru, the chief eunuch of the palace, told Yang Guang at this time that this meritorious policy should have been presented to Yang Guang in person by the secretary of the Ministry of War, but Yang Guang didn't want to see the hundred officials at this time, so he recently delivered the folds through Ma Deru.

Yang Guang opened the merit book, only to see that the paper merit ranked first, it was a person named Li Yin, Yang Guang patiently looked at Li Yin's merits one by one: the surprise attack on Scorpion Island, the killing of the Goryeo general Yuan Datong, the merit of two turns, the capture of the gate of the humble luxury city, the merit of the two turns, undercover Pyongyang City, sent back a lot of useful information, the merit of one turn, for the army to open the Pyongyang city gate, the merit of three turns. A total of eight merits, the first in the navy!

"It's really my good son of Da Sui!" Yang Guangguang shouted.

Yang Guang immediately turned his head to the side and said to Ma Dehai: "Hurry up and let this Li Yin come to the palace to see me, I will personally reward him!" ”

"No!" Ma Dehai responded.

Yang Guang stood up and walked back and forth a few steps, "Li Yin, Li Yin, why does this name sound a little familiar!" ”

Ma Dehai bowed down and said: "Back to Your Majesty, this Li Yin is the illegitimate son of Tang Guogong who was originally exiled, and he was only recalled to the mansion in December of the sixth year of the Great Cause to become a concubine." ”

Yang Guang suddenly said: "It turned out to be that kid!" Then he sighed, "My cousin, how many good sons have been born!"

……

The north wind was howling, and the horses' hooves were urgent.

Li Yin himself did not expect that when he returned to the capital city of Luoyang again, it was already October of the eighth year of the Great Cause, and he had been away for nearly two years.

When he passed by Xiejia Village, he found that it was deserted, and the group of long-tongued women who always liked to get together and gossip had gone, and only a few old men who were struggling to walk were left, sitting on the threshold with blank eyes and smiling in the sun, as if they might die at any time.

Li Yin entered Luoyang City alone non-stop, he was about to enter the palace tonight, so he was in such a hurry, Cailian, Niuniu and Zhou An and others were still behind by boat and slowly returned.

Li Yin walked into the Tang Mansion in a low-key manner, not wanting to attract anyone's attention, and as soon as he stepped into the West Side Courtyard, a familiar shadow threw himself into his arms, "Young Master, you're finally back, Fluttershy thinks you're so hard!" ”

Li Yin couldn't help but sigh with emotion, time flies so fast, blinking her eyes, Fluttershy, who originally had a flat chest, has become very expected.

Li Yin wiped the tears from the corners of Fluttershy's eyes and said with a smile, "In my absence, someone bullied my Fluttershy?" ”

Fluttershy shook her head violently, "With the protection of the eldest prince, no one dares to bully me, and the fourth prince came to tease me once, but I was secretly taught a lesson by the young master, and he never bothered me again." ”

Li Yin took Fluttershy's little hand and walked towards the room, and said with a smile, "Very good, next time I'll teach you another lesson." ”

Fluttershy burst into tears and laughed, "Thank you, young master!" ”

As soon as Li Yin entered the house and sat down, Li Jiancheng walked over quickly, "Brother Yin, you're back!" That's great! ”

Li Yin stood up and saluted: "Big brother, it's been good lately!" ”

Li Jiancheng said: "I've been helping my father do things, so it's okay." He then said with a twinkle in his eyes: "I heard that you have been summoned by the emperor?" It's amazing! ”

This matter has been widely selected and spread widely, and now in the whole of Luoyang, there are really not many people who don't know about it.

Li Yinhan said with a smile: "I have gained some small credits, and I am estimated to be able to get a captain." ”

Li Jiancheng patted Li Yin's shoulder and said, "Tomorrow night, go to the Drunken Immortal Tower, and I will hold a celebration banquet for you!" ”

Li Yin said: "Okay, I will definitely go on time then." After walking from the sea of corpses and blood, Li Yin at this time cherished the relationship with each of his relatives more than before.

……

In the north garden of the Tang State Mansion, there is a Buddhist hall dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the Dou family who believes in Buddhism often comes here to eat fasting and recite Buddha, begging for the safety of their families.

But since the news came half a year ago that many people had died in Liaodong, the most diligent person who came to this Buddhist hall became the third lady Li Xiuning.

"The great mercy of Guanyin Bodhisattva, please bless Li Yin, let him come back alive, let him come back intact, believe in the girl Xiuning, I am willing to be a vegetarian for this life, and I ask the Bodhisattva to bless him." Li Xiuning was wearing sackcloth, knocking on the wooden fish and praying repeatedly......
