Chapter 301: Trying to Capture the Past

At this time, in the palace, Yang Guang was like the three of them discussed last night, when Yang Jian vetoed the army led by the Son of Heaven and the crown prince, Yang Guang threw out another candidate.

"Erchen has another candidate, who can be commanded by the King of Han, leading my millions of elites in the Great Sui and pacifying the Turks! The retainers also ensured that the left servant of Shangshu shot Gao Gong for the long history, and the king of Shangzhu, Shiji, was the marching Sima! ā€

As soon as Yang Jian heard this mention, his brows furrowed directly, in the first battle of the Eastern Crusade, 300,000 horses didn't even see the figure of Goguryeo, and they almost died. And the most important thing is that after the defeat and return, Yang Liang and Gao Gong also had a verbal battle and blamed each other, which made Yang Jian very dissatisfied. Now that Yang Guangti yƬ and the two of them are partnering to unify the army, Yang Jian suddenly felt dissatisfied. If Yang Guang hadn't mentioned it, in fact, Yang Jian had been thinking about Gao Gong as such a coordinator in his heart, but now that Yang Guang mentioned it, he immediately vetoed it in his heart.

If Yang Jian's veto of Gao Gong was only because of the defeat in the Eastern Crusade last year, and the director was a little distrustful of the old man. For Yang Liang, the king of Han, Yang Jianke really distrusts him at all. Raised in Beijing for more than 20 years, when he was sent to Bingzhou last year to take office, he was very hopeful for this son, but after last year's Eastern Crusade, he has seen that his youngest son is actually just like the sons and daughters of those wealthy families in Beijing. Winning or losing wars is a common thing, but the key is that the son's appearance after the war did not mean to reflect on and check, but just blindly shirked responsibility, blaming Gao Gong, and refused to take any responsibility at all, this son is still too young and lacks experience. In the upcoming war, he was unfit for the post of commander-in-chief. Even if it's just a nominal commander-in-chief.

Before Yang Jian could veto, Yang Liang had already jumped up. He said loudly: "Father Qi, my son's son has been unwell recently, and I am afraid it will be difficult to bear this heavy responsibility. ā€

Yang Jian's face was a little ugly, Yang Liang refused to fight in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, and the surface was too bad.

"Your Majesty, since the King of Han is unwell, the son still wants to recommend a person, King Zhao was originally the governor of Wuzhou, and the troops were plugged up. Last year, with a weak army, he repeatedly defeated the Turkic cavalry, with good command, courage and strategy. King Zhao is the eldest grandson of the royal family, and when the court employs people, the sons and daughters think that King Zhao just has the service of the country to repay the favor of His Majesty. Yang Guang continued to recommend.

Yi Feng also hurriedly stood up and excused himself: "Serve the country." Dare not be unsatisfied, but the minister is not a weak crown, but he has established a small merit on the side stopper. Today's war is related to the fate of the dynasty. How can a minister be able to command the whole army? The minister asked His Majesty, but asked for the position of a pioneer. It's enough to charge into battle for Your Majesty!"

Yang Jian looked at Yi Feng, and finally sighed lightly. "King Zhao is not brave and strategic. However, after all, he was young and lacked qualifications and prestige, so he was not suitable to be the commander-in-chief of the three armed services. Saying that, Yang Jian glanced at the hall, and in the hall, there were no less than 100 people in charge of the Zhuguo, but most of them were either old or too young. There are also some good generals, He Ruobi, Shi Wansui, Han Sengshou, Yang Su, Gao Gong, Cui Hongdu, Wei Chong, etc., but he is not at ease to give such authority to the hands of a foreign minister.

What can really reassure him is a few sons, even a clan like Yang Xiong, the king of Qingzhang, it is difficult for him to rest assured. But among the sons, the prince is incompetent, the king of Han is courageless, the king of Qin is sick and wilting, and the king of Shu is eager to try, but this son is brave and brave, too fierce, and is not a candidate to lead the overall situation. In this way, in the full hall, there was only one second son Yang Guang left who could meet his mind for a while.

Looking at Yang Guang, Yang Jian suddenly felt that the more King Jin thought about it, the more suitable it became. In his early years, the king of the first Jin Dynasty had the experience of commanding the army to attack the Turks, and later served as the commander of the more than 500,000 troops of Pingchen. And he remembered the discussion of the invasion of Goryeo at the beginning of the year, when Yang Guang first recommended himself to lead the army, but later the Nanyue Yi people rebelled, and Yang Guang couldn't get out. After he appointed Yang Liang as the commander, the King of Jin also said several times that the King of Han was not suitable for the army, and said a lot about the construction of the Eastern Expedition, such as being elected to march after the autumn, and when strengthening the transportation capacity of grain and grass, strengthening epidemic prevention, etc., but unfortunately he did not pay much attention to it at that time. As a result, in the end, the 300,000-strong army of the Eastern Expedition did not even see a ghost of Goguryeo, so it first encountered epidemics, storms, torrential rains, and then food shortages, and finally almost all the troops were wiped out.

The more Yang Jian thought about it, the more he felt that Yang Guang was suitable, and finally couldn't help but take a pat at at the case, "I already have the best candidate for commander." ā€

At this time, in fact, there is no need for Yang Jian to say, everyone already almost knows who this candidate is. Gao Gong sat there, sighing inwardly, his brows furrowed. made a mistake, he felt that he was very wrong today, from beginning to end, Yang Guang had always held the initiative and was led by him. Originally, he wanted to ask himself to lead the army, but who knew that Yang Guang was very clever enough to tie him up with the incompetent guy of King Han and recommend him, and he was vetoed by the emperor at once. Coupled with the previous successive recommendations of the Son of Heaven, the Prince, and later Yang Lin, in the end, the suitable candidates were all pushed out and vetoed by the emperor, and the rest was Yang Guang the most suitable.

Originally, Gao Gong planned to recommend Yang Guang to unify the army first, and then Liu Shu and others from the Ministry of War would oppose it, and then they would recommend the prince to be the commander, and then he would be the eldest brother and actually lead the army. Who knows, in the end, it will be such a result.

At this time, Yang Jian had already said slowly in front of the imperial case: "Yang Guang, the king of Jin, has always been virtuous, capable of literature and martial arts, in the third year of the emperor's reign, he led the army to crusade against the Turks, and in the ninth year of the emperor's reign, he also commanded one hundred and nine commanders of 510,000 troops to destroy Nan Chen, and commanded the troops several times, all of which lived up to the trust. Now that the war with the Turks is imminent, it is necessary for a clan like King Jin to serve his life and kill the enemy for the country. I have made up my mind, and the king of Jin is widely the marshal of the Turkic march of the Northern Expedition, and the general commander is to cut down the Turkic soldiers and horses, and control the generals from all walks of life. ā€

Yang Guang was finally worshiped as the marshal of the march, which can be said to be both expected and unexpected by everyone. Previously, when the army saw that Yi Feng was crowned King of Zhao, Shangzhu Guo, Sikong, and Yongzhou Mu all felt that the status of the prince was gradually regaining and stabilizing with the return of his son-in-law. Therefore, in the selection of Marshal Vatto, they all felt that Yang Guang, the king of Jin, did not have much chance to be appointed. After all, this position of commander-in-chief is too important, and taking on this post will undoubtedly achieve great prestige. Originally, I thought that I would lead the commander in the name of the prince, or there would be no commander of the three armies, but only Changshi or Sima to coordinate the soldiers and horses of all roads, and then set up a three-way marching commander below. Who knows, in the end, the Son of Heaven still appointed a commander of the three armies and gave this position to Yang Guang. For a while, many ministers who originally thought that the crown prince's position had been stabilized were puzzled, could it be that the dust had not yet settled over the dispute over the throne?

The choice of the marching marshal has been decided, but the entire command structure is not yet complete.

According to the plan of the Son of Heaven and the ministers, the Great Sui is to divide hundreds of thousands of heavy soldiers into three main soldiers and three strange soldiers, the three main soldiers are the Longyou, Hedong, and Hebei three roads of the Great Sui regular soldiers, and the three strange soldiers are the Hetao, Saishang, and Liaoxi three ways of the Great Sui border army, in addition to the three road soldiers, that is, the Tuyuhun army in Hexi, the Tuli army in the grassland, and the Xifei Khitan Sanfan Huqi in the northeast. A total of hundreds of thousands of troops were divided into nine major parts, scattered across the border of thousands of miles, and of course it was impossible for a single commander to command.

The marching marshal is the commander-in-chief of the three armies, commanding all the troops, but only in overall strategic command. When it comes to the details, it is still divided into separate battle zones. Therefore, under the marching marshal, it is necessary to set up three major commanders, each of whom is a unified army, and in addition, three marching commanders must be set up to command the three strange soldiers, and in addition, the three routes of the soldiers must also be included in the command.

The Sanlu Fan people only need to send liaison envoys, but the Sui army still has to have three major governors and three marching chiefs. These three commanders and the three marching commanders are equivalent to three theaters of operations and three fronts of armies. They all have to choose excellent generals who can stand alone.

"The three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. This battle between our Great Sui and the Turks will be a battle of millions of soldiers and horses, and the battle line is thousands of miles wide. The issue of grain and grass is particularly important, and the minister recommended Shangshu's left servant to shoot Gao Gong, and the left servant shot to live in Beijing, responsible for the president's coordination and dispatch of grain and grass and heavy transportation and supplies. After Yang Guang was appointed as the marshal of the marching army, the first mention he asked Yang Jian to play was to appoint Gao Gong as the chief quartermaster.

Yang Guang's move was very powerful, and he took the initiative to ask Gao Gong to be appointed as the chief quartermaster, and as soon as he came, he squeezed Gao Gong out of the general headquarters of this attack on the Turks. Second, although Yang Guang asked Gao Gong to be in charge of grain and grass and military supplies, it seems that he handed over the lifeblood of the army to Gao Gong, but the scale of this war is extremely large, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is indeed related to the fate of the entire Great Sui, even if Gao Gong wants to secretly make ghosts, it is impossible. It can be said that if Gao Ying does his best to do a good job in the supply and demand of grain and grass, this is what he should do, and if he wins this battle, the biggest function is Yang Guang's, and he Gao Ying will not get much credit. And if there is something wrong with the military supply, it will be a dereliction of duty on the part of Gao Gong, and at the worst it will be impeachment for Gao Gong deliberately wanting to lose the war. Even if this battle is lost, Yang Guang will definitely be able to push the black cauldron of defeat on Gao Gong, who is responsible for supplying military supplies. After all, in wartime, being in charge of munitions is a rather tiring and thankless job, and no matter how well it is done, there will always be places where it is not in place.

Yang Guang's move is actually Yi Fengzhi's move, of course, Yang Su also coincides with Yi Feng, and the three sinister guys got together and quickly came up with the most insidious move. (To be continued!)
