Chapter 19 [Glory]
In the last years of Emperor Wen of the southeast Sui Dynasty, some of the ministers said that there were many treasures in Linyi (now central Vietnam), and there was nothing in the world at that time, and Liu Fang had just quelled the rebellion in Jiaozhou, so Emperor Wen appointed Liu Fang as the head of the march of the Luzhou Road to plan and deal with the affairs of the Linyi direction.
Liu Fang sent Qinzhou Assassin Shi Ning, Changzhen and others to lead more than 10,000 infantry cavalry out of Yueshang; Liu Fang personally led the general Zhang and others to command the naval division out of the scene, and in the same month, Liu Fang's army reached the mouth of Linyi to the sea. Fanzhi, the king of Linyi, sent troops to defend the danger, and Liu Fang led his army to defeat them. The Sui army crossed the Yanli River, and the soldiers of Linyi attacked from all directions on giant elephants.
The initial battle of the Sui army was unfavorable, Liu Fang asked the soldiers to dig many small pits in the ground, cover them with grass, and then challenge the Linyi army, the two armies fought, and the Sui army feintmed; The Linyi soldiers pursued the Sui army, and many of the elephants they rode fell into small pits and tripped up, so the Linyi soldiers were very frightened, and the army was in chaos, Liu Fang ordered the soldiers to shoot the elephants with crossbows, and the elephants fled, trampling and disrupting the formation of the Linyi army. Liu Fang took the opportunity to continue the attack with elite soldiers, and the Lin Yi army was defeated, and more than 10,000 people were captured and killed.
Liu Fang led the army in pursuit, won many battles, chased Ma Yuan (General Fubo of the Eastern Han Dynasty) south of the copper pillar, and took eight days to reach the capital of Linyi.
Fanzhi abandoned the city and fled to the sea. Liu Fang led the army into the city and captured 18 golden tablets of the temple owner. Liu Fang carved the stone and returned the work.
I don't know if the water and soil are not adapted, the Sui sergeant died of swollen feet and died four or five out of ten. Liu Fang also fell ill and died on the way. After Liu Fang's class, Fanzhi recovered his land, sent envoys to apologize, and paid tribute endlessly.
In the third year of the Great Cause, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty sent Zhu Kuan, a cavalry captain, into the sea to visit the strange customs, and arrived at Liuqiu (now Taiwan Island). Due to the language barrier, one person was plundered and returned.
In the fourth year, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty sent Zhu Kuan to comfort him, but he did not comply, and then sent Hu Benlang to send Chen Ling and the court doctor Zhang Zhenzhou to send more than 10,000 Dongyang soldiers to cross the sea from Yi'an to attack Liuqiu. After sailing at sea for more than a month, he arrived in Liuqiu.
The king of Liuqiu sent troops to meet the battle, and the Sui army was repeatedly defeated by the Liuqiu army, and it was attacked until the capital of Liuqiu. Thirsty Thorn Dou personally led the army to battle, and was defeated, retreated into the camp fence, three years of great cause, Emperor Yang sent Chang Jun, the head of Tuntian, and others to envoy the terracotta.
Ling Changjun carried 5,000 pieces of wealth to reward the king of terracotta. Chang Jun and the others arrived at the border of the terracotta country, and the king of the terracotta, Lifudose, sent envoys with thirty large ships to meet them.
Offering a golden lock to the ship of the cable Chang Jun. The palace, utensils and utensils where the king lived were extremely precious and gorgeous, and the etiquette of receiving the envoys was also very grand.
The king of terracotta also said to Chang Jun, "Now he is a man in a big country, not a country of terracotta." "Send his son Nasika to follow Chang Jun into the court to pay tribute.
In the sixth year of the Great Cause, Chang Jun took Na Xie Jia to meet Emperor Yang in Hongnong (now Lingbao, Henan), and Emperor Yang gave him official positions and items. In addition, there are also Zhenla, Boli, Dandan, Panpan and other countries sent tribute.
In August of the first year of the boasting of wealth and power, not long after Emperor Yang of Sui ascended the throne, the Khitans were full of food and support, and raised troops to attack Yingzhou. Wei Yunqi, a messenger, led 20,000 Turkic soldiers to crusade against the Khitan.
Wei Yunqi divided the soldiers into twenty battalions, set off in four ways, each battalion was one mile apart, and there was no mixing. The horses were not allowed to gallop without official business, and after three orders, the army marched with drums. One of the Turkic Gunkan violated the military order and was beheaded for public display.
Killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, the Turkic generals saw Wei Yunqi and walked on their knees, trembling and not daring to look up. The Khitan was originally dependent on the Turks, so they were not suspicious of the Turks. Wei Yunqi led his army into the Khitan territory and pretended to go to Liucheng to do business with the Goguryeo.
The Khitans were unguarded, and Wei Yunqi led the army to fifty miles of the Khitan camp, and suddenly launched an attack, capturing 40,000 Khitan men and women.
Emperor Yang was very happy, gathered hundreds of officials and said: "Yunqi uses the Turkic Ping Khitan, who is both civil and military, and I will personally recommend him today." So Wei Yunqi was promoted to the imperial historian.
In the first month of the third year of the Great Cause (607 AD), the Turkic Qimin Khan entered the court. In order to boast of the wealth of the Turks, Emperor Yang of Sui ordered the children of the Le family of the original Zhou, Qi, Liang, Chen and other countries in the world to be summoned to Tokyo. First, the cultural relics of Da Chen, and then let people lead the Qimin Khan and his party to watch the fish and dragon acrobatics
The relics (which felt like a lion dance) jumped first, and suddenly the water filled the streets, and the land was full of turtles, turtles, water people, insects and fish; There was also a whale spray to cover the daylight, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a yellow dragon, seven or eight feet long. And there were two men with long poles on their heads, and there were dancers on them, and suddenly the men on the two poles flew over each other and jumped on each other's poles.
There are also skills such as the gods carrying the mountains and the magic artists spitting fire, which are ever-changing. The artists are dressed in splendid clothes, and the dancers are dressed in rings and decorated with colorful feathers.
The Turks looked dizzy, saw it and admired it, and asked to change their clothes, although Emperor Yang of Sui was happy, but the edict did not allow it. In April, Emperor Yang toured north. The men of more than a dozen counties in Hebei Province were recruited to dig Taihang Mountain, and reached the state to pass the road. The Khan of Qimin wanted to personally enter the fortress to greet Emperor Yang, but Emperor Yang did not agree.
In May, Emperor Yang's car stopped in Yulin County. Emperor Yang wanted to go out of the fortress to show off his troops, and wanted to go straight into the Turkic territory and go to Zhuo County.
He was afraid that Qimin would be frightened, so he first sent the general of Wuwei, Changsun Sheng, to convey his will. Qimin received an edict from Emperor Yang and gathered dozens of chiefs of the Xi, Murwei (ancestors of Mongolia) and other tribes to which he belonged.
Changsun Sheng saw that the weeds in the tooth tent of Qimin Khan were dirty, and wanted Qimin Khan to get rid of them in person to show respect for the imperial court.
Pointing to the grass in front of the tent, he said, "This grass is very fragrant." Qimin Khan hurriedly sniffed it and said, "It's not fragrant at all. Changsun Sheng said: "The Son of Heaven patrols the places through which the princes will personally sprinkle and sweep and repair the royal road to show their sincere respect for the Son of Heaven."
Now the tent is overgrown with weeds, and I just say it's the herbs! Only then did the Khan of Qimin come to his senses and said, "The sin of slavery is also! The flesh and blood of the slave are all given by the Son of Heaven, and they have to work hard, how dare they resign.
Just because the people in the remote areas do not know the law, it all depends on the general's teachings, and the general's favor is my luck. So he drew his saber and cut the grass from his tent.
The dignitaries of the Qimin tribe and the people of other tribes vied to emulate the Qimin Khan. So from the north of Yulin, to the tooth tent of the Qimin Khan, to the east to Ji, all the Turks set out and opened up a royal road 3,000 li long and 100 steps wide. When Emperor Yang heard about it, he praised the eldest grandson.
Before leaving, Taifu Qing Yuanshou said to Emperor Yang: "In the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went out of the customs, and the banners stretched for thousands of miles, please divide the army into 24 armies, send an army every day, 30 miles apart, the flags look at each other, the cymbals and drums are heard from each other, the end is connected, and it is endless. This is the grand occasion of the teacher. ”
Dingxiang was too obedient to Zhou Fashang and said: "This will not work. The army stretches for thousands of miles, and if there is something in the center, it is difficult to save each other. Although there is a story of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty going out of the customs for thousands of miles, this is the way to defeat. Emperor Yang was not happy when he heard this, and asked rhetorically: "What do you think?" ”
Fa Shang said: "The general lined up into a phalanx, resisting the enemy on all sides, and the families of the six palaces and hundreds of officials were in the phalanx, if something happened, he would order the enemy to resist, and send surprise soldiers from within the formation to attack outside the formation, use the chariot as a barrier, and then set up a curved hook formation."
If the battle is won, the cavalry will be dispatched to pursue, and if it is not victorious, it can be camped to defend itself, which is the perfect strategy. Emperor Yang was overjoyed and immediately appointed Zhou Fashang as General Zuo Wuwei. Emperor Yang wanted to show off to the Turks, so he ordered Yuwen Kai to make a large tent, which could seat thousands of people. Emperor Yang invited the Qimin Khan and his subordinates to a banquet in the tent, and performed scattered music during the banquet.
Zhu Hu was delighted, competing for tens of millions of cattle, alpacas and horses. Emperor Yang gave Qimin the Khan 20 million pieces of silk, and Qimin's subordinates were rewarded differently according to their ranks. Qimin Khan, who got a big bargain, asked for modification and easy service on the table.
At this time, Emperor Yang of Sui's face was already full of brilliance, but he still gave Qimin the seal: "The north is not quiet, and it is still necessary to fight, but if you are obedient, why bother to obey!" At the same time, Emperor Yang issued an edict to levy more than 1 million men to build the Great Wall, starting from Yulin in the west and reaching the Purple River in the east.
Taichangqing Gao Gong and Guanglu Doctor He Ruobi privately discussed that the scale of the banquet for the Qimin Khan was too extravagant. These words were reported to Emperor Yang.
Emperor Yang thought that they slandered the government, beheaded two ministers, confiscated family property, and made his wife a slave. Eighteen years ago, the twenty-year-old Yang Guang was able to pacify Jiangnan with the help of these two ministers as the king of Jin.
In August, Emperor Yang's car set off from Yulin, passed through the clouds, and traced the Jin River upstream. At that time, the world was peaceful, all things were abundant, there were more than 500,000 soldiers and 100,000 horses, and the banners were heavy, and there were thousands of miles. Emperor Yang made people make a hall to watch the wind, the palace can accommodate hundreds of guards, the hall can be clutched, and the wheel axle can be set up below, which can be moved quickly.
Make a city again, the circumference of the city is 2,000 steps, take the wooden board as the main body, cover it with cloth, and then paint a colorful painting, the observation platform on the city, the tower of looking at the enemy are all complete.
& People are amazed as gods, and every time they look at the royal camp, ten miles away, they bend their knees, and they dare not ride a horse. "Emperor Yang came to the camp of Qimin Khan, and Qimin held a wine glass to celebrate Emperor Yang's birthday, kneeling on the ground and being extremely respectful.
The Turkic princes and below stood in front of their tents with their clothes on, not daring to look up. At this time, Emperor Yang was full of spirits, and wrote a poem on the spot: "Call Han kowtow, Tu Qi comes one after another, how can he compare to the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, and he is on the stage in the air!" Pei Ju, the servant of the ministry, knew that Emperor Yang was so happy, so Pei Ju inquired about the geography and customs of the mountains and rivers of various countries, the customs of the king and the people, and the clothing and appearance, and wrote three volumes of "Atlas of the Western Regions", a total of 44 countries, and played Emperor Yang of Sui.
In addition, a map of the Western Regions was produced, which included all the important locations in the Western Regions. Emperor Yang was very happy and asked Pei Ju to go to the imperial seat and personally inquire about the situation in the Western Regions. Pei Ju exaggeratedly said: "There are many treasures in the Western Regions, and Tuyuhun is easy to be annexed. ”
Emperor Yang admired the exploits of Emperor Qin and Han Wu, and sincerely wanted to open up the Western Regions. handed over the planning and handling of Siyi's affairs to Pei Ju. appointed Pei Ju as the squire of the Yellow Gate, and sent Pei Ju to Zhangye to attract the Hu people from various countries in the Western Regions, give them benefits, and advise them to enter the court.
Since then, the Hu people in the Western Regions have been coming and going, and the counties they pass through are tired of entertaining and sending off, spending tens of thousands, and even the money can't bear such a spending, and finally the Sui Dynasty is tired and withered to the point of extinction, which is caused by Pei Ju. Pei Ju lobbied Tiele and asked Tiele to attack Tuyuhun and defeat Tuyuhun. Tuyuhun Khan Fu Yun fled eastward, entered the territory of Xiping, and asked the Sui Dynasty for help.
Emperor Yang sent Yang Xiong, the king of Ande, to lead his troops out of Douhe County, and Xu Gongyu wrote that Xiping greeted Fu Yun. When Yuwenshu arrived at Linqiang City, Fu Yun was afraid that Yuwenshu's army was strong and did not dare to surrender, so he led the crowd to flee west.
Yuwenshu led troops to chase and kill, captured the two cities of Mantou and Chishui, beheaded more than 3,000, captured 200 nobles below the prince, and 4,000 men and women returned. So far, the land of Tuyuhun is 4,000 miles from east to west, and 2,000 miles from north to south, all of which are owned by the Sui Dynasty. The Sui Dynasty set up prefectures, counties, towns, and garrisons here, and moved all those who committed minor crimes to live here......
