The New Year is approaching day by day, but the situation in Daxing City suddenly changes, and suddenly there are rumors everywhere that the Great Sui is going to send troops to fight against the Turks, and it is going to war again.

An atmosphere of excitement, hustle, and a little uneasiness and panic in the capital was pervasive and spread everywhere, spreading to the one hundred and nine squares of the two cities of Daxing City, and to the neighborhoods and alleys. The original festive, joyful and peaceful atmosphere in Daxing City, which was preparing the lanterns of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, preparing the peach charm door god for the New Year, preparing the new year's clothes, and preparing the New Year's goods and food, was swept away by the overwhelming war clouds in an instant.

The people sighed that the war was coming, and they should go out separately, pay money, shed blood and sweat, and should die and the emperor's grandson Yang Lin, who had just entered the Beijing Division, was exceptionally supercharged as the king of Zhao.

The powerful fighter plane of the Great Sui also started quickly and effectively, and for this battle, the Great Sui had actually begun to prepare for it several years ago. At the moment, it is just the sound of the final war horn and the assembly of the soldiers. In Guanlong and the surrounding areas, the most elite group of government soldiers of the Great Sui began to mobilize, and the soldiers of the twelve guards to which the hussar mansion and the chariot cavalry mansion belonged almost at the same time received the military orders issued by the imperial army department and the general of the Wei government. The family separated, gathered and set out. On official roads, large and small. Everywhere there were armies gathered like ants, and they were constantly converging like streams. Finally, a torrent of iron armor was formed. On the official road, the banners were unfurled, the voices of the people were like a tide, the swords and guns were like a forest, the swords and spears were like a sea, and soldiers and horses from all walks of life gathered from all directions, and they gathered towards the designated northern frontier.

As soon as the New Year arrived, the troops were assembled, and although the soldiers were resentful, that resentment was all on the damned Turks. The soldiers did not blame the imperial court, which gave them land. And they are exempted from taxes, and this stable life is not easy to come by. Therefore, when the Turks invaded the Great Sui again, the court gave an order, and the soldiers of the government put on their armor and marched to the battlefield without regrets. They are dressed in bright light armor, burly, powerful, and have worked in the fields for many years, but their faces still have not faded from the pride and spirit full of confidence. A group of foot soldiers tied their hair and legs, and carried bows and arrows. Spears in hand were clustered in front and back of the chariot. Before the battle, each chariot was surrounded by a dozen or twenty foot soldiers, and around the chariot and foot soldiers there were also a team of knights riding horses.

The dust and sweat stained the faces of the soldiers, and the yellow robes were covered with mud, but the guards selected from the hussars and chariots under the various guards still marched in order. They made a simple rendezvous under the various state cities to form a makeshift marching array. When they arrived at the destination of the march, they had to make another pre-battle formation. Assemble a combat battalion. The horses neighed, and the cavalry continued to overtake the chariots and foot soldiers around them. Rushing forward, they were clad in armor. Energetic, galloping lightly, on the crowded road, open a long queue. On the main road, horses and mules, heavy weapons, tall stone-throwing carts, huge bed crossbows, and many more men in brown short robes were improvised to be requisitioned, driving cattle and horses, pushing carts and horses, and carrying carts of grain and fodder closely behind the marching troops.

Who will be the commander of this crusade against the Turks, the imperial court has not yet come up with the results. However, the mobilization of soldiers and horses and the transportation of grain and grass have begun, and there have been countless small wars between the Great Sui and the Turks, and the great wars have also been carried out twice, two large-scale wars in the third year of the Kaihuang and the seventh year of the Kaihuang, especially in the third year of the Kaihuang, when the Turks were not divided, and the Turkic Khan mobilized 400,000 cavalry to attack, which was a fatal threat to the new Great Sui. Years of confrontation have made the Great Sui familiar with the battle with the Turks.

No matter who will be in command in the end and how to fight, the ministry is nothing more than a soldier who will block the water and flood the earth. The three directions of Longyou, Daibei, and Youyun are the focus of attack and defense on both sides. Therefore, the final battle strategy has not yet come out, but the troops and horses have been assembled according to past experience, and in accordance with the steps that have been studied countless times by the generals of the military department and the Weifu over the past few years, they have methodically assembled towards the three centers of Liangzhou, Taiyuan, and Youzhou.

For this war, both the emperor and the imperial court decided that it was a strategic decisive battle, and whoever won this battle would be the ruler of the whole world in the next twenty or thirty years. Whoever loses this battle loses the next thirty years. Therefore, Yang Jian did not dare to underestimate the enemy, but decided to go all out in this battle to face the reunited Eastern and Western Turks. For this reason, Yang Jian urgently recruited 300,000 government soldiers, assembled to the front lines in Longyou, Hedong, and Hebei, and even requisitioned the same number of people to continuously transfer grain and grass to the front line. 300,000 horses is not all the forces that the Sui army wants to put into this battle, in the northern front line that is thousands of miles long, the Great Sui has always been stationed with heavy troops, from Liangzhou to Yingzhou, this northern defense line alone is enough for nearly 20 governors, accounting for more than half of the entire Great Sui governor's office. The easternmost Youzhou Governor's Mansion alone commanded more than 55,000 troops, and the entire northern defense line was more than 10 governors' mansions, and the strength was already no less than 200,000 people, and at this time, 300,000 new horses were added, and the troops mobilized by the Great Sui reached more than 500,000.

500,000 horses, not all the Sui army. In this battle, there will be several auxiliary forces in the Great Sui, namely Tuyuhun in the Hexi region, as well as the treacherous Tuli Khan who has long been attached to the Great Sui, Tuyuhun Khan and Tuli Khan, both married the princesses of the Sui Dynasty, and Tuli also married two princesses successively, so in this battle, they are all on the side of the Great Sui, and the total number of men and horses under Tuyuhun Khan and Tuli Khan can be as high as 200,000. In addition, in the northeast region, Xi, Xia, and Khitan Sanfan also stood on the side of the Great Sui, and Sanfan plus the new force Huaihuang Army, these four were claimed to be 200,000 soldiers and horses, but in fact there were no less than 50,000 soldiers who could fight.

This is a big war that affects the whole world.

Yang Jian's presidential leader for this war originally focused on Gao Gong as the chief historian and actually coordinated the various armies, and then transferred a prince to the name of the commander, and then transferred several experienced Shangzhuguo as the commander-in-chief.

However, even today, Yang Jian has not finally made up his mind to set the entire command level of the war.

In this year's Eastern Crusade Battle, Gao Gong and Yang Liang, the king of Han, and Shiji, the king of Shangzhu, led 300,000 troops to fight, but the result was so disappointing to him. At present, this is a battle related to the future and fate of the Great Sui, and it is difficult for Yang Jian to make up his mind to hand over Gao Gong to command again. Gao Gong is an old minister who has assisted him for 20 years, and the prime minister has changed many people over the years, but Gao Gong's position has never wavered, which shows Yang Jian's trust in Gao Gong. It's just that now, Yang Jian's trust in Gao Gong is no longer as good as before.

Yang Jian once personally made the decision to let the prince marry a woman in the Gao Gong clan as a good woman second only to the crown princess, and later made the decision to give the prince's daughter to Gao Gong's third son, it can be said that this arrangement is the incomparable trust in Gao Gong, so that Gao Gong can continue to be loyal to the prince in the future as he assists him. It's just that later, it became more and more difficult for the prince to satisfy Yang Jian, and he was more and more disappointed, and while the prince was incompetent and mediocre, King Jin was so virtuous and talented, which made him have new considerations on the issue of the successor of the empire. He wanted to change his storage, but Gao Gong became the first blocker. Originally, Yang Jian had already made up his mind, and he had basically made up his mind to choose a more capable heir for the Great Sui. But now the appearance of the eldest grandson made him start to waver a little in this idea. The ability of the eldest grandson made him happy, the prince was incompetent, but the eldest grandson of the emperor was virtuous. Coupled with the current war of rejuvenation, Yang Jian had to temporarily suppress the idea of changing the reserve, and at this critical time, he had to unite his forces to win this war.

Out of this general consideration, Yang Jian, while liking his eldest grandson, unexpectedly issued an order to canonize Yang Lin, the eldest son of the crown prince, as the king of Zhao. He intends to take advantage of this matter to reveal a message to the outside world, and he has no intention of changing his savings for the time being, so as to calm the increasingly turbulent undercurrent of the government and the opposition in Beijing.

If the outside is unstable, how can we win the external war?

Daxing Palace.

At this moment, the six departments of the three provinces of the central center of the Great Sui, as well as the twelve guards, the five Taiwans, the nine temples and the five prefectures, and other civil ministers and military generals gathered in one hall to discuss the arrangements for the war.

Yi Feng, who was newly promoted to King Zhao, went to the palace today, and was specially appointed as Yongzhou Mu, promoted to the Zhuguo, and added the title of Sikong. In a blink of an eye, Yi Feng became the hottest political star in Beijing today, not only becoming the first emperor grandson to be crowned king, but also directly crowned as Yongzhou Mu, becoming the administrator of the entire Gyeonggi Imperial District, and also won the extremely glorious Shangzhu National Order, and was crowned as the Sikong of the Three Dukes. In the main hall of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, Yi Feng's position was second only to the crown prince and Yang Guang, the king of Jin, and even before Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, and Yang Liang, the king of Han. Yang Guang is the king of Jin, and he also has the title of captain of the head of the three dukes, but although Yang Xiu and Yang Liang are also kings, although they also have the title of chief manager, they do not have such an honorable title as the three divisions and three dukes, not to mention that although Yongzhou Mu is at the same level as the chief manager, his palace rank is higher than that of the chief manager. Therefore, when the young Yi Feng stood in the third place under the imperial stairs among the purple scarlet ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, he didn't know how many people's eyes he attracted. There was amazement, envy, and jealousy. (To be continued......)
