Chapter 59: The Expedition to Liao is also accidental

After the noise, there was a great silence.

The feast was finally over, and the host and guest had left, and Lingyun had spoken countless goodbyes to Asa Snow and Rose for three days. The luggage had already been prepared, and at this time she really didn't want to say goodbye to them, not to mention, she knew that the two women must be waiting for him, but he didn't want to favor one over the other, so he simply didn't go anywhere, and walked to the gate of the village alone, running towards the low-hanging night, followed by the little wolf gray wind.

The village is lively but the outside of the village is very quiet, and from a distance, I saw a row of sentry posts standing on the road from the gate of the manor to the camp of the prince of Jin, they were wearing yellow military robes, red cloaks, pistols and spears, and horizontal knives at their waists, standing as straight as javelins. These people are completely different from the noisy expressions of the officers at the banquet just now, and seeing them really makes people realize what elite is. The camp outside the village is even quieter, and it is so quiet that it is impossible to believe that there are nearly 10,000 brave people stationed here. I only saw that the camp tent was neat and well guarded.

Ling Yun was about to turn around and leave, when someone suddenly stopped him.

"Yang Lin." Ling Yun turned his head, a little puzzled.

Yang Guang walked out of the camp gate wearing a big coat, followed only by a few guards. Without the python robe crown, Yang Guang looked more gentle at this time, as if he was an elegant elder next door. Yang Guang waved at Ling Yun and smiled, "That's your previous name." ”

Ling Yun didn't know why he brought up this matter at this time, maybe it was a means to win people's hearts. Anyway, it is impossible for him to call this name again, Yang Lin, the name of the king of the backer in the romance. Unexpectedly, he was also called Yang Lin.

"You used to have another name, called Yang Gao. Later, the names of Zhao'er and Hui'er were taken according to the character Gao. "Yang Guang drank a lot of wine tonight, and his eyes were less Ling Li and shrewd, and more gentle." That guy at your feet is a wolf? ”

"Well, a wild wolf, its mother was shot when she was hunting, Zhuang Ding found it only a little big, and his eyes didn't open, and he was going to bring it back to play with the hunting dogs in the village, but I saw it and felt pitiful, so I adopted it."

"It's hard to really raise a wolf, beware of being wild and untamable when you grow up." Yang ad sΓΉ him.

"In fact, beasts are the same as people, many times as long as they stay for a long time, they will have feelings." Ling Yun smiled, "Feelings are generated by mutual investment. ”

Yang Guang hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly, "What you said makes some sense. He beckoned to Gray Wind, but the little wolf hesitated to take a few steps back, Yang Guang clapped his hands and said with a smile, "This guy really recognizes people." ”

Ling Yun beckoned to Gray Wind, "Gray Wind, come here." When the little wolf heard the sound, he immediately walked over, biting Ling Yun's boots affectionately with his teeth, but he was wary of Yang Guang.

"I'm leaving tomorrow, don't you plan to say goodbye to my wife on the last night?"

Ling Yun said a little helplessly: "I have said a lot about saying goodbye in the past few days, and on the last night, it is not good to go anywhere." If you want to leave early tomorrow morning, you just don't go anywhere. ”

"If I don't let them go back to the north with you, do you blame me in your heart?"

"The newlyweds are going to separate, and to be honest, it is indeed a bit difficult to separate. However, it would be better for them to stay in Jiangnan. When the affairs of the north are early, I will come back early. ”

"Well," Yang Guang carefully looked at the bastard and his believing face, "I have great expectations for you, you are a smart person, the current situation is complicated, let's be in the same boat, wait for this time, then it will be fine." Go to the north, what are the plans? Ling Yun was able to break through their carefully planned strategy to seize the crown at once, which made Yang Guang deeply amazed at the wisdom of the bastard, and it was because of this that he let Ling Yun go to the north, this is in the hope that this unexpected pawn can play an unexpected role in the north. Let him go to the north, not exile, let alone distribution, but a crucial step on his chessboard. If you go, the pawn can also be the general.

Ling Yun was not too optimistic about the prospects of his trip to the north, he was going to face a group of green forest heroes and a group of former dynasty remnants, and it would be very difficult to integrate them and make them work for Yang Guang. What's more, in his memory, there will be a great event in the north this year.

In the eighteenth year of the emperor's reign, Goguryeo attacked the Khitan, the Khitan retreated to the Great Sui Liaoxi Yingzhou, and Goguryeo crossed the border to ask the Sui army to hand over people, but the Sui army refused, and then a conflict broke out between the two armies. In history, in this battle, Gao Yuan, the king of Goguryeo, personally led 10,000 elite cavalry to invade Liaoxi, and Wei Chong, the governor of Sui Yingzhou, led his troops to counterattack, and the two sides fought a big battle, each with heavy casualties, and no one got a bargain, and Gao Yuan retreated to Liaodong. Emperor Yang Jian of Sui was furious and ordered an army of 300,000 to march east to Goryeo, but as a result, the land and water armies advanced together, and in the end, 298,000 of the last 300,000 people did not return, only 2,000 returned. This was the beginning of the Great Sui's conquest of Liao, and it was also the first fiasco, and almost the entire army was wiped out.

The nominal commander of this expedition to Liao was Yang Liang, the king of Han, and the real full responsibility was the prime minister of the court, the left servant of Gao Gong, as the commander of the march. But a character like Gao Gong came out and was still defeated in the end.

At this time, how can you go to Northern Xinjiang.

"Your Highness should know that the Gao family's trip south to Jiangnan this time was actually because Goguryeo wanted to invade Liaoxi, and let the Gao family create chaos in Jiangnan to divide the energy of the imperial court." Ling Yun pondered.

"Well, I know that." Yang Guang nodded, Goguryeo has been established for nearly 500 years, and it can be said that it is a large force in Liaodong. The Central Plains has always called Goguryeo Goryeo, with contempt, but Goguryeo took advantage of the hundreds of years of chaotic wars in the Central Plains after the end of the Han Dynasty and was unable to manage Liaodong, annexed many tribes, and constantly recruited Han exiled people, and even the soldiers and horses of the Central Plains Lost Regime, such as Houyan back then, after the defeat of the remnants of the army all fled to Goguryeo. On the one hand, Goguryeo paid tribute to the Central Plains Dynasty, but on the other hand, it continued to accumulate strength and swallow the Liao River Valley, and finally formed Goguryeo, a powerful country in the northeast today, with more than 2 million people and 300,000 strong soldiers. Its strength is not much weaker than that of the divided Turks.

After the current imperial court repeatedly defeated the Turks and divided the Turks, Goguryeo can be said to be the only power that has not been defeated by the Sui Dynasty.

But everyone knows that there will be a war between the two countries, and it is inevitable. Therefore, both sides are actively preparing, and since the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen, Goguryeo has been recruiting troops and buying horses, accumulating valleys to train troops, and building city defenses. And the Sui Dynasty also destroyed Nanchen first, and then defeated the Turks, everything was ready, just waiting for the eastward expedition to Goryeo. The Goguryeo people are not stupid, they don't want to wait for death, so while preparing for war, they are also actively courting various tribes in the northeast, especially the Yan and Khitan, especially the Khitan. The Khitan is between the Turkic, the Great Sui, and the Goryeo, and no matter who the Khitan falls towards, anyone can take the initiative in this confrontation. At this time, the Khitan was like Jingzhou at the time of the Three Kingdoms, which was related to the overall situation. The Khitans were Turkic dependents in the early years, and later attached to the Sui Dynasty, and the Goryeo people wanted to draw the Khitan to their side in order to increase the strategic buffer zone, and at the same time open up the passage with the Turks, so that the Turkic Goryeo could join forces at a critical time.

"The ambition of the Goryeo wolf, the imperial court has long been aware of the fire, but there has been no suitable reason to send troops before. Now, the Koreans foolishly want to tie the Khitan to their chariot, and this is exactly what they have to do. I can tell you that the imperial court is already discussing the conquest of Goryeo, and I have submitted a petition to the Son of Heaven to ask myself to be the marching marshal to lead the army. At that time, the king will command hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Great Sui, and the small country of Goryeo will set foot in Pinger in one fell swoop. Therefore, this time you are asked to go north, which also means to play as a striker, and you can collect more information about Goryeo. After the lone army arrives, transfer you to serve in front of the account, and after destroying Goryeo, you will be rewarded according to merit and recommended for you. ”

Lingyun was stunned for a moment, why did Yang Guang lead the army to fight Goryeo, this is not right, in history, in the eighteenth year of the emperor's expedition to Goguryeo, Yang Liang was the marshal of the unified army, Gao Gong was the long history of the march, Shangzhu King Shiji was the land marshal, Zhou Luohu was the marshal of the water division, and he commanded 300,000 troops to conquer Liao, and finally returned defeated. Why is it now that Yang Guang is going to lead the army to recruit Liao, he rubbed his head, and felt that something was wrong. In fact, the first expedition to Liao, the 300,000 Sui army was not defeated by Goryeo, but mainly because the time of sending troops was wrong. And the army is large, the situation is not good. Not long after they set out, they encountered heavy rain, the roads were mostly flooded, muddy and difficult to walk, and the whole army broke out with an epidemic, killing and wounding countless people. However, due to the damage of the road, it was difficult to replenish the subsequent grain and grass in time, which caused even greater trouble, and the whole army was short of food. It was plague and food shortage, and the geography was unfamiliar, this army finally arrived at the Liao River to confront Goryeo, and hoped that the navy could arrive in time for reinforcements, but in the end only waited for the news that the navy was sunk in the wind and waves, and the Sui army had no reinforcements and no grain and grass in it, so it had to withdraw in the end. But there was a shortage of food along the way, coupled with the plague and swampy roads, and finally the soldiers and horses that were withdrawn, some people said that there were only more than 2,000 left, and some said that there were 40,000 left. But no matter how many remained, the Sui army was a great defeat, and it can even be called the biggest defeat since the founding of the country.

Changing Yang Guang to lead the army, can it change this result, Ling Yun thinks it can't. Although Yang Liang is a spoiled prince and has no ability, Gao Gong is the most capable person in the Great Sui. There was also the rebellion when Yang Jian was in charge of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Gao Gong was the supervisor. Charging into battle, Gao Gong will never be the opponent of He Ruobi, Han Baohu, Shi Wansui, but if he leads the army, Gao Gong is definitely a rare famous commander in the Great Sui.

"Your Highness, I think that it is not appropriate for His Highness to go to Goryeo in person. Goguryeo is far away from the mountains and rivers, and it has been established for 500 years. In particular, Liaodong is cold and the terrain is mountainous. Goguryeo built a large number of mountain castles, and it would be difficult to attack Goguryeo. The most difficult thing is not only the weather and terrain, but also the difficulty of logistics and transportation, there is no decent road to the land of Liaodong, especially in the western part of Liaoning, every spring and summer, there is a country of Ze, more than 200 miles, difficult to pass guΓ². The more soldiers and horses, the more difficult it will be to supply, and how can the soldiers win when they are in danger? The time is right, the place is favorable, and the people are not in me, and it is too risky to rush to Liao. His Royal Highness is now famous, and he has the martial arts of the Northern Turkic and Southern Ping Chen Dynasty, so why take the risk to conquer Liao? If you win, you won't do much good, and if you lose, it will bring great damage. ”

Yang Guang was a little surprised that Ling Yun was not optimistic about the conquest of Liao, in Yang Guang's opinion, although Goryeo was said to have been established for 500 years, it was just a small tribe in the border wilderness, and it was not a country. The Turkic Khanate, which wants to be powerful and incomparable, is not yet torn apart by the Great Sui, the Sui army is elite and invincible in the world. Little Gaoli is just a hand-to-hand capture, but he didn't have his hands free in the past. How could you not beat Goryeo?

"There is some truth in your opinion, Lone will consider it, maybe Lone should ask the Holy Lord to take Yang Su as the marching leader. General Yang Su, a hundred victories, no defeat, with his assistance, there will be no problem. ”

Ling Yun shook his head, Yang Guang is going to die. Goryeo is really so easy to fight, how could you later conquer Goryeo and fail, and you lost the country. Yang Guang wanted to die, it was none of his business, but now he and Yang Guang are tied together, people in the same boat. If Yang Guang is defeated in Liaodong, it is estimated that it will be difficult to say about the seizure of the crown.

"Your Highness, I think that Your Highness should make every effort to plan for the seizure of the prince at this time, and you should not be distracted from the matter of conquering Liao. What's more, Yang Su is the biggest help in the middle of the show, how can he leave lightly at this time. I think that His Royal Highness might as well wait and see what happens, as long as His Royal Highness does not take the initiative to invite the generals, His Majesty will take command of the troops with Yang Liang, the king of Han, and then choose a major minister to control the soldiers and horses, the most likely is to let the left and right servants shoot Gao Gong or Yang Su to go, and then His Royal Highness can move one or two in the palace, so that Gao Ying can go out to lead the troops. ”

Yang Guang looked at Ling Yun and considered his suggestion.

"Your Highness, there are three advantages to doing this, one of which is that Your Highness can be the master of planning to seize the prince. Second, the transfer of Gao Gong, the crown prince's biggest supporter, from the imperial court is to remove his right-hand man. Third, letting the King of Han send troops to conquer Liao also happened to prevent him from having the opportunity to meddle in the matter of seizing the prince. Wouldn't it be best to kill three birds with one stone in this way? Regardless of the victory of the Liao conquest, for His Royal Highness, the most important thing is to pull the prince off his horse and seize the throne. As long as you can take this opportunity to win you, no matter whether you lose or win, Your Highness will be the final winner. ”

Yang Guang was really tempted by these words, and he originally considered taking the opportunity of conquering Liao to win more prestige and impact the crown prince. But now that Ling Yun mentioned this, he looked at the matter of this expedition from a different angle. Maybe this is really an opportunity to use the expedition to exclude Gao Ying and Yang Liang, who threatened him to compete for the crown.

"Will the expedition really fail?" Yang Guang still asked with some hesitation.

"If you go out hastily, you will be defeated!" Ling Yun replied firmly. This is a clear record in history, the first time the Great Sui conquered Liao, it was defeated, and the whole army was annihilated!
