In the second year of Chengtian, on the 10th day of the seventh month.
The empire conquered Goguryeo, and the actual number of the army was more than 1.3 million, divided into two armies, water and land.
Lu Lu Shi died in Zhuo County, Youzhou, about 1.1 million.
The waterway soldiers died in Donglai County, Qingzhou, about 200,000 or so.
The art of war: "The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first".
In order to assist the normal operation of the army and the transportation of baggage, the Son of Heaven transferred the people of Jizhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou, reaching 2 million. And this is only for the land soldiers, and the water soldiers are all solved in Qingzhou.
Qingzhou experienced floods last year, and some people were forcibly relocated to settle in the area of Annam, which was originally a place where public resentment boiled in the imperial prefecture. Now, because of the crusade against Goguryeo, he has summoned millions of people and miscellaneous servants......
The sailors are not synchronized, they rely more on the tool - the boat.
This is the reason why more than 200,000 sailors used by the people, almost half of the 1.1 million foot soldiers.
The imperial general who commanded the Qingzhou Naval Division, the lord, the general Liu Fang, the general of Zhengnan, and the deputy general Shi Wanzai of Zhenxi, both of whom were masters of meritorious service, supervised the shipbuilding day and night, hoping to set off from the port as soon as possible and set foot on Goguryeo. As soon as they were in a hurry, they broke ...... The craftsmen who built the sea ships stood in the water day and night, their skin festering and their waists
There are maggots under birth, and there are many dead.
Resentment accumulates until the appearance of a person, the appearance of a poem, erupts.
That person's name was Wang Bo, a commoner in Zouping County, Qi County, Qingzhou. There is nothing unusual about people, at most they are a little rogue and obscene in their personalities. Occasionally, peeking at the widow/woman taking a bath, molesting the little girl next door, and ending up with a bad reputation of being tired of the country. The imperial court issued an order for conscription. He threw it in as he could, and it became an indicator of the number of people.
In a few months, Wang Bo saw the people around him fall and die tragically one by one, and he couldn't help but feel sad and decided to flee.
Wang Bo fled, but he returned to his hometown, and the result was ...... Liu Fang, the general of Zhengnan, and Shi Wansui, the general of Zhenxi, felt that there were too many deserters, and they had already commanded their soldiers and horses to arrest them.
Wang Bo didn't dare to return it, and he couldn't live in fear like a lost dog. Hiding in Changbai Mountain, Qingzhou (now Changbai Mountain, Shandong).
It is indeed difficult for the empire to hunt down in the deep mountains and old forests, but there is no food! Wang Bo was so hungry that he began to gather people who also escaped from the army to rob and plunder...... Gradually, they were amazed to find that they had grown to thousands of people!
At this time, Wang Bo became bold, called himself "Zhishilang", and his inspiration exploded and he wrote a song "Song of Death in the Waves of Liaodong".
The poem says: Changbai Mountain before Zhishilang. Pure red Luo Mian crotch. The long lance invades the sky and a half, and the wheel knife shines in the sun. Go up the mountain to eat roe deer, and go down the mountain to eat cattle and sheep. Suddenly, when he heard the arrival of the official army, he raised his knife and swung forward. For example, Liaodong died. What a decapitation hurts.
Wang Bo's poems touched countless people who shared his illness, including Meng Rang, the leader of the deserters in another part of Changbai Mountain, who also came to join him.
In just a few days. Wang Bo's strength rapidly expanded to more than 30,000 people.
……
……
In the second year of Chengtian, on the 15th day of the seventh month.
Wu Fantong guò intelligence line in Yangzhou. learned that Wang Bo called on the people to rebel against the frequent military service of the empire, including the song "The Song of the Death of the Waves of Liaodong Without Direction".
Wu Fan and Uncle Guo drank wine together. Immediately happy: "Good poetry! Good poetry! Hahaha...... So talented! ”
Guo Fengxiao's eyes slanted and said, "Where does the lord think it is good?" Where is the talent? ”
Wu Fan coughed seriously, stopped laughing, and said, "I am a robber in Zhangqiu, Shandong who has seen through the world. Look at my handsome red shirt brocade bib pants. I stretched out my hand into the air, and the blade shone brighter than the sun! I went up the mountain to eat roe deer as a ringing horse, and went down the mountain to eat the cattle and sheep of the big dog family for the robbers! If the officers and soldiers arrived, I didn't want to pick up their swords to meet them. If I don't have to go to Liaodong to die, what if I cut off my head? Gee! After he was speechless, he said: "This poem is plain and catchy, although there is no gorgeous splendor, it is better than that simple and heroic artistic conception!" ”
Guo Jia stared at Wu Fan in a daze.
Wu couldn't hold it back: "Hahaha...... The only drawback is that the second secondary school is a little ...... Hahaha......"
Uncle Guo was curious and asked, "What is Secondary 2?" ”
Wu Fan was stunned, touched his nose, pondered for a long time, and said, "A very ...... Very self-conscious...... Well...... Advanced animals. He waved his hand impatiently, still happy: "Oops! Don't worry about such details! ”
Guo Fengxiao didn't laugh heartlessly like Wu Fan, he looked deep, he took a sip of wine without a match, and his heart was spinning rapidly.
Treat Wu Fan a lot quieter.
Guo Jia said seriously: "As soon as the war starts, there will be internal and external troubles. I said before that the empire would definitely have great turmoil because of the conquest of Goguryeo. The prophecy was fulfilled. After a pause, he continued: "Just like Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and 'princely generals' in the late Qin and early Han dynasties, would you rather have a kind? Wang Bo, Meng Rang and "The Death Song of the Undirected Liaodong Waves" will also set off a frenzy of changing times! Completely shake the two hundred years of stable rule of the Yang family of the Heavenly Family! The opportunity that the Lord is looking forward to...... Come on! ”
Wu Fan licked his lips and said, "That's right, but Wang Bo and Meng Rang are not enough!" ”
Uncle Guo said firmly: "Yang Xuangan! ”
Wu Fan blinked and said, "That's right! I had planned for him! Xunzi. The "Monarchy" says, "The water carries the boat, and the water overturns the boat". Since ancient times, the people's hearts have turned against their backs, and the trend of the times has come, but it's a pity! After all, the people are just the people, they don't represent anything, especially in the current empire. is still the sentence 'The Great Sui is the Great Sui of the Shi family, not the Great Sui of the Heavenly Royal Family, and not the Great Sui of the common people', only if the Shi Shi and the Great Sui are separated from morality, this world can ...... Disorderly! ”
Guo Jia raised his eyebrows and said, "The battle of Goguryeo? ”
Wu Fan nodded and admitted, "Yes!" The Son of Heaven hoped to weaken the military power of the noble family, consolidate the rule of the imperial family, and lay the foundation for a stable transition for the crown prince without a few years to live. The Shijia clan are not fools, and when they find out the true face of the battle of Goguryeo, they will definitely resist. 'Power comes out of the barrel of a gun', the family of scholars can have today's glory, because they control more than 30% of the empire's soldiers and horses, and they know where the foundation is. ”
There are some things that Wu Fan confessed to Guo Fengxiao, and some things are not, however, it does not prevent his astonishing wisdom from guessing eight or nine.
Uncle Guo was silent in thought.
……
……
In the second year of Chengtian, on the 16th day of July.
Wang Bo and Meng let the rapid expansion of the rebel army was jaw-dropping, gathering nearly 50,000 people, and the huge momentum was stationed in Taishan County, openly fighting several battles with the officers and soldiers who captured and escaped from service, and even won more and lost less!
Liu Fang, the general of the expedition to the south, and Shi Wansui, the general of Zhenxi, received the holy decree of the Son of Heaven and set out for Goguryeo soon, so they had no time to pay attention to Wang Bo and Meng Rang, and hurriedly reported the situation to Yang Kuan, the son of heaven who had reached Liaodong.
Holding Song Shu in his left hand, Yang Kui's whole body trembled with anger, and his face was black and almost dripping ink.
The Great Uprising of the Southern Liang Restoration, the sum of each army reached more than 70 troops, and the number of participants reached more than 700,000. How long has it been? It's only two and a half months! There are also damn people who are unwilling to serve the empire and cause trouble.
Yang Kuan scolded Liu Fang and Shi Wansui in his heart for being unfavorable waste, and at the same time, he had to think about how to quell the rebellion, after all, he had sent the vanguard army into Goguryeo to confront the Goguryeo army, and the war was about to break out.
Thinking about it, Yang Qi thought of one person, Zhang Guo and Zhang Xutuo.
Zhang Xutuo originally guarded Yanmen County, and the Great Sui conquered Goguryeo, and when he hired people, he expected to go to the Eastern Turkic Tooth Tent to call Wu Fanping, and the head of Dulan Khan was smashed by Wu Fan, and there should be no threat over there, so Yang Qian transferred him over.
Yang Kuan mainly likes Zhang Xutuo's background, poor and poor, but he is not willing to fall, he joins the army to serve the country, fights bravely, and is a typical poor person worth cultivating.
Yang Kuan made up his mind and asked Zhang Xutuo to take down Wang Bo and Meng Rang, and make meritorious contributions, so that after the Battle of Goguryeo, he supported him to enter the upper echelons of the imperial military and become a fresh blood for the new generation.
20,000 cavalry, a Qingzhou soldier sloppy talisman, these are given to Zhang Xutuo by Yang Kuan.
Since then, Zhang Xutuo has started a journey against the sky and a road to a famous general.
Yang Kui relieved himself to forget about Wang Bo and Meng Rang, and focused on the proposition he had never solved - "How to make the more than 1.3 million imperial army defeat and defeat in the hands of the Goguryeo coalition army, which numbered less than 100,000." ”
At some point, Yang Kuan determined three points.
One.
He ordered his generals not to make any decisions about the battle without authorization, and to report to him before obeying orders. This will make the Sui army very passive on the battlefield, and the generals of all walks of life must first send people to report to him who is far behind when making every decision, thus delaying the military situation. Goguryeo's army had ample time to regroup and counterattack.
Two.
Abandon steady, well-known, and good fighters such as General Zuo Wei Xiaokuan, and use more mediocre and foolish people who are greedy for merit.
Three.
Send a few people to Goguryeo.
The third point is that Yang Kuan thinks that the most important thing is that he can be underestimated as a very high Guguryeo.
The role of a few people sent to Goguryeo is to help Goguryeo defeat the Great Sui, these people must be loyal and capable, Yang Kui found the seven greedy wolf guards scattered in the four guards of Luoyang, the former emperor Guangdi, he was glad that he did not dispose of these seven, which came in handy.
Secretly ordered seven greedy wolf guards to defect, and Yang Kuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Qi thought of his greedy wolf guard......
The Imperial Governor's Mansion has three guards, namely the Eagle Yang Guard, the Yellow Gate Guard, and the Greedy Wolf Guard.
The Eagle Yangwei is the eagle dog of the Son of Heaven, the Yellow Gate Guard is the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, and the greedy wolf guard is the sword of the Son of Heaven.
The leader of Ying Yang Wei was the general of Ying Yang Zhonglang when he was Emperor Guang, and he should have changed it when he arrived at Yang Qi, but he didn't. (To be continued......)
