Sitting in the Ganlu Palace, Yi Feng looked at the words he wrote, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional, in the nineteenth year of the emperor's opening, this year did have some turbulent feelings.

This year, fortunately, there were no major natural disasters, but the war continued, and the war did not stop from the beginning of the year. First, in the Northern Expedition, 500,000 soldiers and millions of civilians were dispatched, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers were united. After the Battle of Pingchen, the biggest war since the founding of the country was indeed very successful, the Turks who had just united were defeated, their vitality was greatly damaged, and more than 200,000 Turkic soldiers and horses were defeated and surrendered to Sui. The Tiele people also took the opportunity to dominate Mobei, rebelled against the Turks, and established their own khanate. If nothing else, it was a perfectly balanced war, one that had been planned for many years and then won in just a few months. Unfortunately, a civil strife brought the Northern Expedition to a hasty end, and then various soldiers and horses tore each other apart in the Central Plains.

But after experiencing a civil strife, the heavenly prestige of the Great Sui seems to have weakened a lot, and those surrounding countries also began to try to provoke the Great Sui and touch the moon in trouble. Goguryeo sent 80,000 troops to cross the Liaohe River to the west again, and the imperial court had already sent two armies into Liaoxi in a row. The war in Liaoxi was not over yet, but Datou had already entangled his men and horses, and united Tuyuhun to attack Hexi. The time has entered autumn, but this war has no intention of stopping, but the fighting is becoming more and more intense.

This is a very dangerous sign. Although the imperial court still has a very strong military strength, the war is about money. Every war. Not only are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses fighting in the front, but also countless logistics supplies in the rear. A soldier fights on the front line. If the war is fought outside the border, it may require three to five people to do the logistical support, and then the equipment and food consumption of these soldiers and men will need the support of more farmers and craftsmen. If the war can be controlled within a certain scale and fought well, it will indeed be beneficial, expand the territory, increase the population, and harvest money, land, population, and livestock. But if the scale is not controlled, it will be very dangerous. Once something goes wrong in the chain. It's easy to upset the whole situation. For example, the long-term presence of the army will make the country empty. Another example is that the army has been fighting abroad for a long time, which will lead to heavy casualties among the soldiers. A large number of people go to support the logistics of transporting grain and grass, and even many people go to make ordnance, etc., which will affect the cultivation of fields, grain harvesting, and even the manufacture of other people's biological materials.

Yi Feng played with the paperweight on the case. Pondering. He is the emperor, and he must take this into account and think about the whole situation. Yang Guang in history, at the beginning of his succession. In the past few years, the government was actually quite positive, and it was really a martial virtue and a prestige. The Celestial Empire system was established, and the four sides came to court. Canals were built and the Great Wall was built. Open a trade route and move the capital. The destruction of Tuguhun, the defeat of Linyi, and the subjugation of the Turks can be described as quite remarkable. But it only lasted for less than seven years, and finally the whole country was boiling back, and the smoke was everywhere. Why, it's a broken chain.

Now there are generals like Li Jing from top to bottom, and they are all enthusiastic, and they can't wait to raise their swords to immediately level the Quartet, and all the Fan States that refuse to submit to the vassals are all down. Of course, it is good for His Majesty to have such positive thoughts, but there is also a degree to this. If you are overzealous, the court will lose its stability and reason, and if you go to extremes, it is easy to have problems. China has always advocated moderation, that is, it pays attention to not going to extremes.

The whole country is immersed in the excitement of the strong and powerful soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty and the desire to sweep away the Quartet, but Yi Feng, the emperor, had to pour cold water on them and brake the brakes.

The first is the battle of Liaoxi, and it's time to end it. Although the army had just begun to enter Liaoxi, Yi Feng was already thinking about how to end the war and how to reach a temporary armistice with Goguryeo. It's not that Yi Feng is worried that he can't beat Goguryeo, but on the chessboard of the whole world, Goguryeo is only a corner after all, and it is not the most important corner now. If there is no attack from Datou, Yi Feng may think about it again and make a decision based on the situation, whether to recover Liaoxi or continue to take the opportunity to advance to the east bank of the Liao River. But now, Yi Feng doesn't want to be entangled too much in Liaodong. Let's talk about it first, and then talk about the rest later.

The imperial court is not yet ready for a full-scale battlefield with Goguryeo, and the top priority at the moment is to stabilize Liaoxi first, then divide the Turks, and then divide the steppe, so as to castrate this powerful force.

"After the situation in western Liaoning is clear, immediately bring Li Jing back to Beijing." Yi Feng issued a secret order to Liu Ying, the commander of the Special Service Department of the Supervision Yuan.

"What if Li Jing doesn't obey the order when the time comes?" Liu Ying asked, Li Jing is a person with a criminal record, and he is also the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, in today's court political structure, the Privy Council is a yamen alongside the political hall, and Li Jing, the deputy privy envoy, is equivalent to the deputy prime minister. He commanded the troops outside, and if he didn't obey the order, Liu Ying couldn't do anything.

"If he really refuses to obey the order," Yi Feng frowned and sighed, "If it really comes to this point, I authorize you to take him down directly and escort him back to Beijing, if he dares to resist, you can be regarded as a rebel and killed on the spot." It was also very difficult for Yi Feng to say this, but since he became the emperor, some decisions had to be made no matter how difficult they were. Li Jing repeatedly disregarded the emperor's will and the strategy of the imperial court, and dictated power without authorization, which the emperor could not tolerate no matter what. Once this opening is opened, the impact will be extremely bad, and at worst, it will affect the implementation of a series of decisions behind Yi Feng. For the sake of a genius young marshal, it is impossible to ignore the safety of the country.

Liu Ying's lips moved, but he didn't say anything in the end, if things really came to that point, if Li Jing dared to openly resist the decree by force, then no one would be able to protect him. I believe that if he has a little more sense, he will know how to choose.

"Your Majesty, the queen, the queen is about to give birth." Wang Hai trotted all the way into the hall, panting and bringing a message.

"What's the situation now, the imperial doctor doesn't have it." When Yi Feng heard this, he quickly got up.

"The Imperial Physician has been summoned. The queen is in good condition. ”

When Yi Feng arrived at the Lizheng Palace, the queen had already begun to give birth. Yi Feng went straight inside, and several female officials and female doctors came up to stop him. He refused to let him in.

"I want to accompany the queen to give birth in person." Yi Feng said seriously.

The crowd was a little stunned, this woman gave birth to a child and never let her husband accompany her. But the emperor's attitude was so resolute, everyone was a little hesitant, and finally Yi Feng simply flicked his sleeves and went in directly. After entering, Yi Feng ignored the shock of the midwife, walked directly to the edge of the bed and sat down, and took Li Liyi's hand with both hands to hold it. "I'm with you."

Giving birth to a child is definitely a painful thing for a woman, especially giving birth to her first child, and Li Liyi is still so young, not yet twenty years old, the difficulty of giving birth to a first child can be imagined. Although she is a queen, the medical skills and conditions of this era are limited after all, and many women in this era have died because of giving birth. Dystocia, postpartum infections, and more. A large proportion of women die in childbirth, and most of them die in childbirth. Fortunately, there is now Sun Simiao, a divine doctor, who presides over the medical school and the imperial hospital, and he has obtained a lot of new knowledge in medical skills from Yi Feng, which has greatly improved the conditions for the queen's childbirth. Lives have been safeguarded, but they are still dangerous.

Li Liyi had abdominal pain, and her whole body was already wet with sweat. Suddenly, I saw the emperor stuffy in, and then gently said that he would accompany her to give birth. At that moment, she felt extremely happy, and even regained a lot of strength in her body.

The production of this tire is quite smooth. Although even so, it took a long time to toss back and forth, but in the end, the child was finally born.

"Your Majesty, how is the child, male or female?" Li Liyi's hand was still tightly squeezing Yi Feng's hand, and she didn't care about being tired, she immediately asked the female doctor who delivered the baby.

"It's a prince." The medical officer carefully held the newborn, glanced between the legs of the little one, and happily reported the good news to the emperor and empress. "Congratulations to His Majesty and the Queen Mother." Holding this little baby, the female doctor felt as heavy as holding a mountain. This is the prince, and he is the eldest son of the emperor and the empress, if nothing else, this is the future crown prince.

Li Liyi smiled with satisfaction, a boy is also extremely important to her as the queen, there is not much difference between the royal family and the common people's family, and in this era, they all pay the same attention to boys.

"Why didn't he cry!" The queen suddenly thought of a question, and the smile on her face froze, revealing an anxious look, and she struggled to sit up. Yi Feng hurriedly pressed her and comforted, "The child won't cry immediately after birth, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't cry, carry the child's feet upside down, gently pat his back a few times, and he will cry." ”

The female doctor was also about to do this, but when she heard the emperor's words, she was surprised, she didn't expect that the emperor actually knew so much about newborn babies, so she didn't need to ask the emperor and empress for instructions again, and directly lifted the child upside down as the emperor said, and then gently patted the little prince's buttocks a few times.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa." The loud cry of a baby sounded.

The queen smiled happily, "He cried, cried, and his voice was so loud." ”

"Yes, this kid is not small, although he came to the world a little earlier than the expected delivery time, but seeing that this small body is still very strong, and his voice is loud, he will definitely be able to ride a fierce horse and open a hard bow in the future, well, he just happens to be the third among the brothers, and he may be able to inherit the name of Yi Saburo of the White Horse Silver Spear in the future, and he can be called Yang Saburo of the White Horse Silver Gun." Yi Feng laughed for a while, this child is long and strong, even if it is not due to the due date, but the voice is loud and the body is strong, which finally makes him breathe a sigh of relief.

Mother and child are safe, very good.

"Your Majesty, the military situation in western Liaoning is urgently reported." He was laughing when suddenly there was a report from outside.

Yi Feng's smile was put away, and he began to worry in his heart, could it be that Li Jing had already had an accident?

"Your Majesty, great joy, it's good news, it's really double happiness." Wang Hai took the report first, and shouted to Yi Feng with great joy and trotted in.

"Good news? Could it be that Li Jing's adventure succeeded again? What kind of shit luck is this? Yi Feng was surprised in his heart, and began to marvel at Li Jing's luck.

"Great victory, great victory in Liaodong City, Wuwei Hou Li Jing made a long-distance attack on Liaodong City, and successfully captured Liaodong City, an important town on the Liaohe River." Wang Tong said excitedly with the good news. Yi Feng heard that it was really Li Jing's great victory, and he was also excited and immediately snatched the report, he really didn't expect that Li Jing's adventure could really succeed, he had even prepared Li Jing's long-distance attack plan before, and even Li Jing not only did not capture Liaodong City, but could be trapped on the east bank of the Liao River. But he never expected that Li Jing would take 30,000 horses to run long distances and go deep alone along the way to grab the eastern gate of Goguryeo, a fortress with two walls inside and outside, and he actually succeeded. And in terms of time, it seems that Li Jing set off from Songshan, and at this time, he almost arrived in Liaodong City for about a day or two. And now that he has received information from Liaodong, even if he releases carrier pigeons from Liaodong City and passes through Yuguan, Youzhou, Luoyang and other stations, it should be at least a day, doesn't it mean that Li Jing galloped all the way to Liaodong City, and then took Liaodong City like that, without delay at all?

Yi Feng really wanted to know how Li Jing did it now.

In history, the two kings, Yang Guang and Li Shimin, were once blocked under that city and were not allowed to enter an inch.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, double happiness is coming." Wang Hai's old face smiled like a chrysanthemum.

Yi Feng couldn't help laughing, it was indeed a double happiness. For the first half of the day, he was still worried about the current situation, the war in western Liaoning might get out of control, and the Turks were attacking Tuyuhun, so he didn't give Yi Feng any time to breathe and recuperate. But after half a day passed, the queen gave birth to a big fat boy in advance, and there was a successor to the empire, and Li Jing, a madman, although Yi Feng hated it, but now it made Yi Feng love it, and his adventure was successful.

After carefully reading the good news, Yi Feng also had a clearer understanding of Li Jing's adventure. Li Jing is crazy, crazy is unimaginable. Just as Yi Feng was furious when he heard Li Jing's advance, the Goguryeo people never expected that Li Jing would suddenly gallop around to the east of Liucheng after his victory in White Wolf City. What they didn't expect was that Li Jing, a madman, not only went around behind them, but also went crazy again, divided his troops and galloped four hundred miles on light horses, and the lone army went deep behind the enemy and directly killed Liaodong City.

The defenders of Liaodong City also couldn't imagine that Li Jing used the Goguryeo military robe and banner obtained by the White Wolf City and some Goguryeo prisoners to easily capture the pontoon bridge left by Gao Yuan when he crossed the river on the Liao River, and then quickly killed all the way to the Liaodong City. The defenders of Liaodong City could not have imagined that it was actually the Sui army holding some Goguryeo prisoners.

The city gate opened, Li Jing entered the city, and then, there was no more.

The Sui army, which broke into the city, successfully captured the city gate, and then the 8,000 old and weak who stayed behind all became Li Jing's prisoners. Li Jing took Liaodong City almost bloodlessly, and the entire city was not damaged at all, and even the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city did not run away. Even the hundreds of thousands of stones, grains, grass and countless instruments hoarded in Liaodong City all fell into Li Jing's hands intact.

Now, Li Jing led 30,000 light cavalry and successfully captured Liaodong City, the eastern gate of Goguryeo.

Yi Feng let out a long sigh, this Li Jing is really a madman, but this crazy adventure was successful. And this success is extremely important for Yi Feng and for the entire Great Sui.

"Move the Privy Council immediately!" At this time, Yi Feng didn't even care about taking care of the queen who had just given birth and the eldest son who had just given birth, and unexpectedly took Liaodong City, so the previous military deployment in Liaoxi had to be readjusted.
