Chapter 13: War Comes
Chapter 407: War is coming
In February of the eighth year of the Great Cause, the ice and snow melted, the spring breeze blew the northern land, and the air was full of humidity and warmth, but there was a little more tension and uneasiness in the sky above the Great Sui Empire, and the clouds of war shrouded the northeast of the Great Sui. ()
On the second day of the second month of February, Yang Guang, the emperor of the Great Sui, once again arrived at Zhuojun with hundreds of civil and military officials and 300,000 forbidden troops by boat, and the war was about to break out.
On the plain about 100 miles wide to the east of Youzhou City, there are endless camps, there are the main camp of 1 million troops here, and there are also miscellaneous camps of 3 million people, people and animals gather, noisy and boiling, since the beginning of last year when the war was issued, some troops have been stationed here for nearly a year, and hundreds of thousands of people have come here to build warehouses to prepare for war since the summer of the sixth year of the Great Cause.
Millions of troops and civilians have waited too long, and they need the outbreak of war to relieve them of this endless servitude.
On both sides of the Bao River, there are huge granaries and military camps, military companies and battalions are dozens of miles long, only the army guarding the granaries and military warehouses has 100,000 people, after nearly a year of preparation, nearly half of the grain and millions of ordnance tents of the Great Sui Dynasty are piled up here, and the national fortunes of the entire Great Sui Dynasty are betting on this war for which no one knows the reason.
In the boundless barracks, a group of hundreds of cavalry rushed through the cracks of the camp tent, and it was Yang Yuanqing, the governor of Youzhou, who came to meet Emperor Yang Guang of Sui.
"Get out of the way!"
Yang Yuanqing returned from the inspection of the military warehouse, because the army began to move, the official road next to the barracks had already been flooded by the black oppressive crowd, they could only pass through the big tents, and from time to time they could see groups of soldiers carrying weapons and armor walking past him, everyone was silent and full of exhaustion.
Yang Yuanqing looked at the expressionless faces that were full of numbness, mechanicality, and resignation to fate, and the soldiers of the Great Sui army left him with a hopeless and low morale. (,)
He couldn't help but think of the nineteenth year of the emperor's reign, the northern expedition to the Turkic army, when the Sui army was full of vitality, and the hearts of every soldier were full of a sense of mission to serve the country, and the blood in their bodies made their morale high.
Yang Yuanqing sighed secretly in his heart, the soldiers' parents, wives and children were all in hunger and cold, where were they still in the mood to go to the Great Sui Emperor to work for their lives.
"Drive!" He whipped his horse violently, accelerated and galloped westward, and in the afternoon, Yang Yuanqing finally arrived at Linshuo Palace.
In the Ziwei Hall of Linshuo Palace, Yang Guangzheng discussed the final battle plan with dozens of civil and military ministers, and Yang Yuanqing quietly walked into the main hall and sat down in the last seat.
Yang Guang saw him and asked loudly, "Yang Aiqing, why are you late?" ”
Yang Yuanqing hurriedly came out and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister went to Luxian County to inspect the weapons warehouse, and rushed back all the way from a hundred miles away, so it was a step late, please forgive Your Majesty!" ”
Yang Guang nodded, "I can understand, the military camp is more than 100 miles away, it is indeed very far away, Yang Aiqing, I have already announced the battle plan just now, you can take a look first!" ”
"Obey the order!"
Yang Yuanqing retreated to his seat, only to find that it was Yang Yichen sitting next to him, he smiled at Yang Yichen, but Yang Yichen's face was solemn, and there was no trace of a smile on his face, which made Yang Yuanqing secretly shocked in his heart, is there anything wrong with the battle plan?
At this time, a eunuch stepped forward and handed him a thick booklet, which read: 'Battle Plan for Conquering Goryeo', and the word 'Top Secret' was written next to it, Yang Yuanqing turned a few pages, which were full of detailed battle plans, when to enter the army, which road to take, who was the main general, who was the second general, how many troops to lead, how much armor to bear, which city to attack, what method to attack, it was clearly written.
Yang Yuanqing frowned slightly, the battlefield has always changed rapidly, no one will fight according to a routine, but Yang Guang's battle plan stipulates everything to death, no disobedience is allowed, he is like compiling a big net, driving everyone in, everyone must follow a fixed grid, as for what situation will be encountered in front of him, he will not consider it at all. Templars,
Yang Yichen slowly approached Yang Yuanqing, stretched out his hand to turn the battle plan to Chapter 407 was bland, and it was not well written, so the monthly pass was relatively weak, and the subscription had also declined, and Lao Gao was also anxious, so he was speeding up the pace, but if many things were not written, it would seem very abrupt in the back, destroying the structure of the entire book, Lao Gao would try his best to write it well, and I hope that everyone will support the monthly pass, subscribe to support, and give Lao Gao encouragement! So that Lao Gao can write according to his own ideas, and don't repeat the mistakes of the royal family]
