Chapter 445: Yi Feng's Troubles

Gao Gong saw through the Turks' intentions at a glance, and they seemed to understand that Yanmen had many soldiers and that it was dangerous to close the city, so they were unwilling to gnaw on this hard bone, but to sweep the northern lands of Yun, Wei, Fu, and Wudai, and at the same time also planned to attack the Hebei Plain, which was slightly weaker.

Knowing the Turkic intentions, Gao Gong did not mean to rescue Youzhou immediately.

His idea now is very simple, let the imperial grandson, who has always hidden his strength, have a good encounter with the Turks, let them fight against each other, and they will just watch here. When this tiger and wolf are almost done, he will go north again, give the Turks a fatal blow, seize the sweetest and most abundant fruit, and by the way, help the prince to subdue the imperial grandson. At that time, taking advantage of the injury of the imperial grandson, he happened to control the Youzhou Mansion in his hands, and even the northern part of the Bingzhou Mansion was also in the hands of the princelings.

What a good plan, you don't have to do it at all, you just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

"But what if the Turks capture the prefectures of Wuwu and Weishuo, and then leave?" Han Seng Shou raised concerns that although Hebei is rich, after all, there are dangers to guard, and the Turks will not necessarily attack the fortifications. Perhaps they were more content to plunder the northern part of Shuowei and then retreat to the steppe, wouldn't they be played by the Turks? Who can bear this responsibility?

"No, it won't." Gao Gong was very sure of his plan. "The strength of the imperial grandson is much stronger than you imagined, especially Huaihuang, don't look at itโˆฎ here was still a deserted place occupied by mountain bandits and horse thieves more than a year ago, but now, it is extremely rich, and there are many fortresses and fortified cities. A larger number of well-equipped and well-trained soldiers and horses, numbering more than 100,000 people. In addition, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Sanfan tribe, who can go south to reinforce at any time. Arguably. The Turks will definitely not be able to conquer Huaihuang, but they will definitely be able to inflict a lot of casualties on Taisun. What we have to do is to keep an eye on Huai Huang, and wait until the Turks are bleeding a lot, and when they are both defeated and killed by the emperor's grandson, and Yin Sheng retreats, we will take Yunnei Hengan and block their retreat. At that time, there will be a closed door and a dog, and these Turks who have gone south will be wiped out. โ€

"This!" This despicable plan with sinister intentions is even a person like He Ruobi, who has always been bold. I couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Is it really good for us to calculate the imperial grandson like this?"

"The imperial grandson is very favored by His Majesty, if he suffers such a big loss, he is afraid that he will not give up at that time." Han Seng Shou was also worried. If Taisun's strength is not as strong as Gao Gong said, then they sit back and watch the Turks attack Taisun's foundation base camp, then the result may be that Taisun's foundation will be destroyed in one fell swoop, and even the Turks will attack Youzhou, Hebei. And if Taisun's strength is really as strong as Gao Gong said, then Taisun will block the Turks at that time, but he will also fight with the Turks and suffer heavy losses. Whatever the case may be. Which result, when the grandson is afraid that he will hate them to the bone? Although they are generals of the imperial court, Yang Lin is the grandson of the emperor.

Is it wise to go against the imperial grandson like this?

"As long as the plan can be successful. Even if there is any resentment when the grandson arrives, he can't help us! โ€

Youzhou.

After overturning Yang Liang's lair in Taiyuan, Yi Feng returned with a rich spoils of war. Maybe he was happy and sad, and he just overturned Yang Liang and swallowed most of Yang Liang's family business. As a result, this side is already a frontier alarm, and the Turkic army is coming straight ahead.

Youzhou is an ancient city. It is also the largest military fortress in the north of Hebei, and now it has become the residence of the Great Governor's Mansion of Youzhou. After just seeing the majesty and grandeur of Taiyuan City, Yi Feng, who entered Youzhou, was a little disappointed with the city that now belonged to him. Compared with Taiyuan, Youzhou is too ordinary. Whether it is the scale of the city, the population of the city or the prosperity of commerce, it is far less than Taiyuan.

However, Yi Feng didn't have time to get too familiar with Youzhou, and the emergency messenger along the way had already come to Youzhou.

Yi Feng had to urgently convene his subordinates in Youzhou to discuss countermeasures.

After Wang Tong and Li Gang, the two grandsons of Xima, led the scholars and the housekeepers entered the mansion, they first presented several scrolls.

"Your Highness, this is the Kaihuang dictionary compiled by the ministers according to His Royal Highness's requirements, and there is also the Kaihuang rhyme, as well as the simplified character list, this is the first draft, please Your Highness axe." Wang Tong came in, and Yi Feng was sitting on the chair and frowning at the summary information in his hand. saw the drafts of the three scrolls presented by Wang Tong, but he didn't show any happy expression. It's really not a good time now, before Yi Feng left Beijing, he had already recruited and invited Confucian celebrities everywhere, which said that when they came to Youzhou, they had mentioned the promotion of education and imperial examinations. The imperial examination is a long-term goal, but the promotion of education has been praised by Yang Jian himself. Yifeng's promotion and education plan includes the establishment of the Northern University in Youzhou, the establishment of various academies, the establishment of state schools and county schools in various states and counties, as well as the training of teachers, the compilation of teaching materials, and even financial subsidies for education funds. In order to let more people become literate and get rid of illiteracy, Yi Feng also took out simplified characters and pinyin. Let Wang Tong and others use the alphabet pinyin to promote according to today's official language, that is, Luoyang dialect, and at the same time, in order to make more people more literate faster, and let Wang Tong and them make a general list of simplified characters according to some simple characters that have always been used in cursive writing, etc., together with pinyin, to eliminate illiteracy. Wang Tong and others agreed and opposed to the change proposed by Yi Feng, but Yi Feng's proposal of pinyin and simplified Chinese characters did not replace the original ones, but only for the soldiers, craftsmen and even the people in the territory, so that they can unify the Chinese dialect, and at the same time can quickly learn commonly used Chinese characters. Therefore, in the end, they reluctantly agreed, and the alphabet pinyin and simplified Chinese characters were still very effective in eradicating illiteracy among ordinary people. And the Kaihuang dictionary that Yi Feng asked them to compile is also good compared to traditional books like Shuowen Jiezi.

It's just that now, Yi Feng is really difficult to pay attention to these, and he is more concerned about the surging war now.

He just flipped through the first drafts of these three books at random, then put them together, and said to Wang Tong and the others: "Well, the writing is good, and I ask you to continue." With that, he sat back on the chair and continued to study the military situation.

Wang Tong and the others didn't care about this when they saw this, they didn't pay much attention to Yi Feng's Hanyu Pinyin at first, but after they listened to Yi Feng's careful explanation along the way, they were really interested in this set of things. At this time, the official language was Luoyang Zhengyin, but it was not a dialect of the Luoyang region, but a special reading sound. Even if the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Great Sui Dynasty were all located in Chang'an, the official language was still Luoyang Zhengyin. This has caused the upper class and scholars to speak Luoyang Zhengyin, but the common people all speak local dialects, and the language is not uniform, which brings a lot of inconvenience. Although there is also a pinyin method for reading the pronunciation, there has been no standard method, the teacher is teaching students, using two common words to reverse cut or spell out the pronunciation of this new word, this method is too cumbersome, not easy to read accurately. And the set of alphabet phonetics thrown by Yi Feng is more accurate. Wang Tong and others are great Confucians, for the knowledge of things very clear, after they themselves learned this alphabet pinyin, found that it is very convenient and accurate to spell Luoyang Zhengyin, very conducive to the implementation of this official language that only a few classes have mastered today. If this set of Chinese pinyin can be compiled and promoted, then not only can the world book with the same text, but also can achieve the same language in the world, this is a very meaningful thing, for the spread of Chinese culture, and even the assimilation of Hu Yi will also play an important role, Wang Tong and others are now completely immersed in it, in a short time, the first draft has been made.

Although Liu Wenjing is also a reader, he is not as fascinated by pinyin, dictionaries, and simplified characters as Wang Tong, and he, like Yi Feng, is more concerned about the current situation.

He reported to Yi Fengyu, "Your Highness, the Turkic army is suddenly moving eastward and fierce, how should we deal with it?" โ€

"The soldiers will block, the water will flood, and the battle will be. Although the Turks claimed to be 200,000, according to the Turkic tradition of one soldier and two auxiliaries, these 200,000 elite people were only 70,000 or 80,000, and the rest were only auxiliaries who fought in the grass valley and guarded the camp. They want to pick soft persimmons and pinch them, and find us, but they are blind. Although Huaihuang is plugged everywhere, there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and Sanfan can be reinforced at any time, plus we have vigorously built many military town fortresses in the past year or so, as well as a large number of grain and grass equipment stored, with these fortresses and cities to confront the Turks, I am not worried about losses, at most, the Huaihuang market is temporarily unable to operate, there will be some economic losses. If the Turks break into the Hebei Plain, then on this wide plain, the Turkic cavalry will be difficult to intercept, and we will suffer a big loss. It is necessary to defend the Jundu Pass and the Wuruan Pass, and block the Jundu Pass and Puyin Pass. โ€

Liu Wenjing listened to it and felt that it was very reasonable. However, he still raised some of his own concerns, "The military capital is a fortress and is heavily guarded, and even if the Turks attack on a large scale, it is difficult to have a chance." What's more, King Qingzhang had already received an order from His Royal Highness and led his troops to Junduguan for reinforcements. The subordinates are worried about the Yizhou side, and Li Yuan, the governor of Yizhou, has recently arrived, but he is afraid that he will not be able to cope with such a difficult task due to his lack of experience. โ€

"Well, it has always been from the military capital to attack Youzhou, and there is only a three-out chance of winning out of ten. And if you attack Youzhou from Wuruan Pass, there is a 70% chance of winning out of ten. Yi Feng nodded. Yizhou has always been a weak point in the invasion of Hebei from the west.
