Chapter 24 Pei Ju

Pingnan General Xin Lei made great contributions, and Yang Guang did not forget to reward him, and a six-grade Zhengnan general officer hat was given to Xin Lei. Not only that www.biquge.info in order to expand Xin Lei's strength in Jiangnan, Yang Guang sent thousands of troops and a large number of materials and equipment to Xin Lei this time. The Great Sui Emperor sent supplies and troops, and Xin Lei was of course happy. Xin Lei didn't have much prejudice against Yang Guang, but this emperor was unlucky, and all his life's exploits were cheapened by Li Tang's father and son, in exchange for a stinking reputation through the ages.

If it weren't for the Great Sui Emperor Yang Guang's lifelong conquest and expansion of territory, how could all the states come to the court to pay tribute and lay the foundation of the Tang Dynasty? If he hadn't built the Great Wall in the north and invaded the Turks in the north, how could the northern frontier be relatively stable in the early Tang Dynasty? If he hadn't made three expeditions to Goryeo, how could the Northeast in the early Tang Dynasty be safe? If he hadn't opened the canal, how could the prosperity of the later Song Dynasty come about? If he hadn't pioneered the imperial examination, how could the children of the Shu clan have the opportunity to be ranked among the ministers? If......

Yang Guang, the emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty, was ambitious and too impatient, he was the emperor who was crushed by the great cause, and the emperor who failed in the struggle against the scholars. Even if the country died, it left a lot of legacy to future generations.

It takes a hundred years to complete the great cause Yang Guang completed in ten years, and he left wealth for future generations, left culture, and left the true spirit of the Great Sui! As a result, he was exhausted by the great cause, and he became a typical example of absurdity and immorality through the ages.

After 1,500 years, Emperor Yang of Sui stinked for 1,500 years. The power of the people is terrifying, and countless literati and rioters have made up unsightly stories based on the official history, wild history, and rumors handed down from the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was unscrupulous and even murdered his father......

But everything is chasing after the wind, and it is some foolish people who are following the blind coaxing! In their eyes, Emperor Yang of Sui had almost no merit to speak of, almost all of them were defeats and worthless. Sometimes Xin Lei felt a little unworthy for Yang Guang.

Yang Guangzheng planned to send Pei Ju to Jiangdu to Danyang Palace to urge the supervisor, and took this opportunity to let Pei Ju come over and read the holy decree for Xin Lei. At the same time, Pei Ju also wanted to meet this young general who created miracles, and the most important thing was to explore Xin Lei's reality and observe his loyalty to the imperial court.

Pei Ju, a politician, strategist, and diplomat in the Sui and early Tang dynasties, he was born in a family, his original name was Shiju, and he later changed his name to avoid the words Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. He is proficient in the etiquette and rules of the court, capable, and good at planning. History records it: "Diligent in government, working day and night, studying the history and history, taking its strengths, and asking for good policies." It has been relied on by successive masters.

When Emperor Wen of Sui, he was ordered to quell the rebellion of Nanchen and Guangzhou, quite martial arts, and his talents were appreciated by Emperor Wen and were reused.

During his journey through the Western Regions, he traveled almost all over the Western Regions, working tirelessly, going back and forth, exhausting himself, giving full play to the talents of a diplomat and strategist, and using tactics to make the Turks attack and divide each other, and from them they were encircled and divided, which seriously weakened the Turkic strength and eliminated the greatest threat to the Sui Dynasty.

After the holy decree was read, Xin Lei greeted Pei Ju and sat down in the General's Mansion.

"My lord has worked hard all the way, and my subordinates have not been able to welcome him far away because of military affairs, so I am disrespectful, and I hope that my lord Haihan."

Xin Lei welcomed Pei Ju to his seat, and the courtesy was thorough, and Pei Ju was quite happy.

"The general is young and has made great achievements, and now he has made another contribution, killing Lin Shihong to eliminate the rebels in South Vietnam and keep the south of the Yangtze River safe. There are many praises from the saints, and they are worthy of being the pillars of the Great Sui Dynasty. ”

"I am ashamed that it is the duty of our soldiers to protect the country and the people. The subordinates have not done enough, and they will definitely live up to the expectations of the saint and the adults. ”

"This time, this official was entrusted by the Holy Lord to reward the meritorious soldiers, and then to see the situation south of the Yangtze River after the extermination of Lin Shihong this time. If the place is calm, the saint still hopes that the general will withdraw his troops, after all, the situation in Jiangdu is sinister. ”

Pei Ju said what he meant, this is the meaning of the question, Xin Lei has long known it. If there was really no problem with the safety south of the Yangtze River, probably Yang Guang would have impatiently ordered Xin Lei to withdraw to Jiangdu.

Now that the Great Sui Dynasty is crumbling, I am afraid that nothing is as important as the safety of Yang Guang's holy driver. The most important thing is that Xin Lei showed a level of good fighting and being able to fight, and the soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty attacked everywhere to exterminate the rebels, but instead of exterminating them, they suppressed more and more.

"My lord, Ben also wants to return to Jiangdu as soon as possible. Although Lin Shihong of Yuzhang was exterminated, some of the remaining bandits were in pursuit.

At present, the rebels are surging, Lin Shihong has just been exterminated, and his subordinates have intercepted the latest news, Xiao Mo and some court officials have rebelled, and they want to restore Xiliang in Yuezhou.

Yuezhou lieutenants Dong Jingzhen and Lei Shimeng, brigade commanders Zheng Wenxiu, Xu Xuanche, Wan Zhan, Xu Deji, Guo Hua, and Zhang Xiu, a native of Chuzhou, conspired to raise troops against Sui, and everyone wanted to elect Dong Jingzhen as the leader.

Dong Jingzhen believes that a descendant of Western Liang, Luochuan County Ling Xiao Milling has the legacy of Emperor Wu of Liang and recommended him as the master. It is reported that Xiao Mo will be the emperor in the next step.

The subordinates have already drafted the recital and are preparing to play the sage. Now that the adults are here, it's time for the adults to bring the pieces back. The subordinates only waited for the Holy Lord's order to march west to exterminate the traitors. ”

There were still some rebels south of the Yangtze River, and there were rumors in the imperial court, and Jiangdu was far away from Yuezhou, and by the time the news reached Jiangdu, the situation had begun to deteriorate.

Pei Ju was shocked when he heard that the situation was so bad, Xiao Miao, a descendant of the Liang Dynasty and a relative of Empress Xiao of the Great Sui Dynasty, also rebelled, and wanted to be the emperor. It seems that the Jiangnan tranquility behind Emperor Yang Guang's hope is also an extravagant hope.

"Is the message confirmed? How powerful are they, and how long will it take for the general to wipe them out? ”

"My lord, the Yuezhou rebellion was originally two groups of people, the captain of Yuezhou was the army of the Great Sui, and Xiao Mo was a descendant of the Liang Dynasty and was quite influential in the local area, and now these two groups of people have converged together, with a total strength of nearly 100,000. Although the subordinate forces are not enough to resist for the time being, it is the duty of the subordinates to exterminate the rebels, and once they seize the opportunity, their subordinates will definitely strike a blow to wipe out this rebel group. ”

Xin Lei's forces are scattered, and he will not expose his family background to the surface. The imperial court knew that Xin Lei had about forty or fifty thousand troops under his command, and according to the current comparison of the forces of the two sides, it would not be a big mistake to be cautious.

Pei Ju didn't really want to recruit Xin Lei back to Jiangdu, this was just a strategy to speak, probe Xin Lei's tone, and observe Xin Lei's loyalty to the imperial court.

The problem is that Xiao Mo rebelled, and no matter how Xin Lei answered, the imperial court would not recruit Xin Lei back to Jiangdu.

"General Xin is loyal to the Holy Lord and loyal to the Great Sui, and his heart can be learned! Xiao Milling is also a relative of the emperor, and it is really wrong to betray the court. The land south of the Yangtze River still depends on the general to suppress the rebellion, and I will take the chapter away and submit it to the saint as soon as possible. The general must prepare in advance and exterminate Xiao Milling and the traitor at any time. ”

"Your Excellency, rest assured, it is the duty of your subordinates to pacify the traitors, and your subordinates dare not relax in the slightest. Recently, a number of men and horses have been sent to investigate the distribution of the thieves' forces and the reality of their troops, and they will definitely start a decisive battle with the thieves when they wait for the order of the saint. ”

The principle mastered by Xin Lei is to say good things, but don't want money anyway. However, you can't say what you shouldn't say, otherwise if you let the court know Xin Lei's true strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it in the next step.
