Yangzhou.

Yang Guang looked at the letter in his hand and smiled on his face. Today is a really good day, no wonder I woke up early in the morning and heard magpies chirping in the trees in the courtyard. The letter in his hand was a handwritten letter from Yang Su, a powerful ally of the court and the right servant of Shangshu, Yue Guogong, and the content of the letter was extremely important, and Yang Guang was so happy that he had read it three times and had not put it down. This will he carefully read it again from beginning to end, Yang Su's handwriting is very good, and the Wei tablet is full of masculinity, just like Yang Suqi, who is both civil and military, invincible. Whether it is the commander of the army or the ruling of the DPRK and China, Yang Su is always invincible, and no matter how difficult things come to his hands, they can always be successfully completed. Yang Guang sighed in his heart that the hundreds of thousands of gifts he gave to Yang Su and Yang Yue's brothers were really not in vain.

Yang Su's handwriting is very good, but the text of the letter is just some polite words as usual, and Yang Guang is too lazy to read it.

He directly picked up another sub-letter. A sub-letter is an anonymous letter that is sent with the letter and is usually used to request errands and negotiate confidential matters.

Yang Guang is the governor of Yangzhou, and there are four governors like Yang Guang in the Great Sui, and Yang Jingyi, each of which has jurisdiction over more than 20 states and more than 50 states, each with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses. Dozens of large and small governors' offices in the Great Sui are all under the jurisdiction of these four major governors' offices. There are more than 300 prefectures and more than 1,000 counties in Dasui. It was difficult for the central government to directly control more than 300 prefectures, so after the county level under the prefecture was abolished, it had to set up a governor's office in the prefecture to rule over the prefectures. The governor's office is less than two states, and most four or five states. Or even a dozen states. These governors have great power to manage the army and the people, and for this reason, the Son of Heaven is also very strict against these governors. In addition to the fact that the four governors are basically in charge of the prince himself, there are also strict restrictions on the governors, such as explicitly ordering the governors' offices not to make friends with the ministers of the DPRK and China, and the governors are not allowed to communicate with each other.

Even the prince and chief administrator like Yang Guang would not dare to openly associate with Yang Su, the prime minister of the court.

The main letter is just polite, and the anonymous deputy letter is the right thing. Yang Su's deputy letter was written about Huaihuang Town, and Yang Guang had asked Yang Su to come forward to deal with the recruitment of Yi Feng and the Tiger Alliance. Last time, he asked Yang Su to establish Huaihuang Military Town. Yang Suxin reported the results of the handling of this matter, and the attention of the DPRK to Huaihuang exceeded Yang Guang's expectations, and there was the intervention of the princess of Lanling, the princess of the prince's party, Shangshu Liushu of the Ministry of Horse Soldiers. Eventually, that changed. The Son of Heaven has ordered that the generals go outside the gate to Daning and then to Huaihuang, a land of hundreds of miles, to build a new Wuzhou and set up the Wuzhou Governor's Office. for the Lower Governor's Office. than the middle state, and dispatched the general Qu Tutong as the envoy to hold the military of Wuzhou and the history of Wuzhou Thorn. In addition, there are Qu Tugai, Wei Yunqi, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing and other cadres have also been elected as officials of the Governor's Mansion and Wuzhou, and the original Huaihuang Town General Yu Wenhua recommended by Yang Guang was awarded the post of Sima of the Governor's Mansion, which is actually higher than the General of Huaihuang Town, and the Sima of the Governor's Mansion is an official position in charge of military affairs, and the sons of Zhang Heng Duan Da Guo Yan were also awarded the actual position of Liecao to join the army, which is easy wind. He was awarded the county magistrate of Huaihuang County, one of the three newly established counties in Wuzhou, and also served as the general of Huaihuang Town.

Yang Suxin sued Yang Guang. Qu Tutong and Qu Tugai's brothers, Wei Yunqi and Fang Xuanling are all recommended by Liu Shu, but Yang Guang can rest assured that these people are not the prince's party, on the contrary, they have all offended Liu Shu's party openly and secretly, so Liu Shu took the opportunity to rush to Wuzhou this time. And Li Jing, Yu Wenhua and others were recommended by him. Yang Su told Yang Guang that Li Jing was a very talented person, he was the nephew of the late general Han Baohu, who was both civil and military, and had extraordinary talents, especially good at military affairs. Although Li Jing, who is now almost 30 years old, is still just a civilian driver of the foreign army, he is actually longer than the military, and he recommended Li Jing to Yang Guang.

In addition, as for Yi Feng's arrangement, Yang Su said that it was not his intention, and it was the emperor's intention to let Yi Feng serve as the commander and town general of Huaihuang County. The Emperor attached great importance to Huaifa, especially given the current situation in the north. However, in the arrangement of the Son of Heaven this time, although the Wuzhou Governor's Office was established, in fact, the three counties of Wuzhou, Huairong and Huai'an counties, were all within the Great Wall, and Huaihuang County was outside the Great Wall. The state governance and governor's office of Wuzhou are all located in Huai'an County within the Great Wall, and this arrangement of the Son of Heaven is actually equivalent to Huaihuang still being handed over to Yi Feng to manage. Regarding this arrangement, Zhang Su guessed that it might be that the Son of Heaven was worried that if the imperial court moved too much, it would make Yi Feng have other ideas, so now Huairou is the top, and Huaihuang is still handed over to Yi Feng for management, and the Son of Heaven even issued a special decree to grant Yi Feng the commander of the three divisions of the opening of the palace, which is two levels higher than the original Yitong three divisions, skipping the three divisions of Shangyi. With this opening ceremony and the three divisions, Yi Feng will be able to continue to open the shogunate justifiably. The will of the Son of Heaven allowed Yifeng to still open the palace in the name of the champion general, put the officials below the long history, and the imperial court gave seals, and listened to the soldiers and horses of the cities in Huaihuang.

Seeing this, Yang Guang was also very surprised.

The Son of Heaven's treatment of Yi Feng and Huaihuang greatly exceeded Yang Guang's expectations, not only did he not take over Huaihuang's soldiers and horses, but let Yi Feng continue to manage Huaihuang outside the Guanwai, and also promoted him to two levels of honor, let him continue to open the government, and also gave Huaihuang the shogunate, as well as the civil and military officials set up in the cities below him, recognized and conferred official positions and seals. What surprised Yang Guang the most was not these, what surprised Yang Guang the most was the right to give Yi Feng cheap in the will of the Son of Heaven.

Xu acts cheaply, just five words, but the rights that can be included are large.

The many governors of the Great Sui Dynasty, because they commanded the army and the people, had great powers, and therefore were greatly restricted. For example, although the governor's office commands the soldiers and horses of the towns, if it is not for the bandits to cause chaos, as well as foreign invasions, mutinies among soldiers, local rebellions and other emergency circumstances, even if the governor's office mobilizes more than ten troops, it must first ask the imperial court, and the military department will issue a sigil before the troops can be transferred, otherwise it will be issued without permission. The punishment of unauthorized issuance is extremely strict, ten soldiers or more than one year of apprenticeship, one hundred apprentices for one and a half years, 100 people plus one class, and 1,000 people hanged. Even if there is an emergency, it must be reported at the same time.

And with the right to act cheaply, it is different, and acting cheaply means that you can cut it first and then play it.

This is the right to act cheaply. The Son of Heaven of the Great Sui was only given to princes such as the four major governors, as well as the governors of some border areas, such as the Lady of Lingnan. Guilin Governor's Mansion in the middle of the Southern Barbarians, etc.

The new governor of Wuzhou, Qu Tutong, didn't get the right to act cheaply, and Yi Feng, the little manager, couldn't reach it, but he was just a new border general who was recruited by the town general, but he suddenly had the right to act cheaply, which shows that the Son of Heaven values Huai Huang.

With 300,000 people and 20,000 soldiers, it seems that Yang Guang has a clear understanding of the Yi Feng forces. Even Yang Jian, the son of heaven, also saw the strength in Yi Feng's hands. This is not because Yang Jian is afraid of Yi Feng's strength, although Yi Feng has hundreds of thousands of people in his hands. But this will not be in Yang Jian's eyes. Yang Jian did this, which can only be said to be his usual means, using his strength to recruit and reward Yi Feng at the same time. But it has also been used by the Great Sui since then. Yang Jian didn't care about some rewards. But if you can use some rewards to make Yi Feng and other people with desolation become a barrier for the imperial court, why bother to use other means. Leveraging strength has always been Yang Jian's proud means. If the imperial court really wants to collect Yi Feng's soldiers and horses and seize his power, maybe there will be trouble again, if it is just a normal time, now the Eastern Turks and Goguryeo are ready to move, but the imperial court has to be cautious in northern Xinjiang.

Yang Guang saw this. I couldn't help but sigh and sighed in my heart: "Trouble! "Yi Feng's Huaihuang Town was not taken over by the imperial court. Of course, it is good for Yang Guang, but it is inevitably a little lacking in his original plan, he originally wanted Yu Wenhua and Sima Dejiao and other henchmen of the Jin Dynasty to control Huaihuang Town, but now it has failed. Yi Feng has now been recognized by the Son of Heaven, and he is already unstoppable in Huaihuang. From now on, he had to change his attitude towards Yi Feng, and it seemed impossible to simply suppress it. So, Yang Guang thought in his heart, maybe it was time to take this illegitimate child more appropriately. Maybe you can play more of the father and son cards.

The next thing in the letter is the conquest of Liao, which has not progressed smoothly since the 300,000-strong army began to swear to march in June. The imperial court had just received an urgent report of the military situation, and Zhou Fashang's sailor fleet encountered a storm at sea, and almost all the troops were wiped out, and only a few people escaped with broken wooden planks. Now that the news has been confirmed, the Son of Heaven is furious. What made the Son of Heaven even more angry was that the land army of Yang Liang, the king of Han, Gao Gong and Wang Shiji, was now trapped on the bank of the Liao River. More than 200,000 soldiers and horses, before the battle, has been because of the road water and soil adaptation, the soldiers contracted the epidemic, first lost more than 40,000 people, the army of cattle, sheep and horses is extremely heavy, which makes the army's supply and transportation interrupted, now the remaining 100,000 horses are stationed on the bank of the Liao River, but they have already run out of food, Gao Gong has been waiting for the water division to come to support, supply food.

Gao Gong didn't know that the sailors were gone, and the Son of Heaven now planned to recruit people, mules and horses to send grain to Liaodong, and planned to form another sailor to go to Liaodong. However, there are already many people in the DPRK and China who have opposing opinions, and now it is autumn, and winter is about to begin, once it is winter, Liaodong is bitterly cold, and the supply of the army is even more difficult, and the soldiers are still wearing summer clothes when they set off, and the winter clothes of more than 100,000 people are a big trouble, not to mention, the epidemic is not completely cured, and many soldiers are still dying of illness every day, and the morale of the entire Eastern Expeditionary Army is gone, and it has become a lonely army. Moreover, if you want to transfer grain, it is impossible to send it to Liaodong immediately in a short time. The army continued to defend Liaodong, but I was afraid that none of them would survive.

Now Yang Su is trying his best to demand the withdrawal of troops in the court every day, and began to prepare for the impeachment of Gao Gong, Zhou Fashang, Wang Shiji and others who lost their teachers and misled the country.

Yang Guang couldn't help but shake his head, and couldn't help but sneer, before the Eastern Crusade, Yi Feng told him that this Eastern Crusade would be defeated, and after saying many reasons, Yang Guang was still a little skeptical. In the end, he used the Lingnan barbarian rebellion as an excuse to get out of the Eastern Crusade, and let Yang Su and others also withdraw, which was actually gambling. During this period of time, Yang Guang has been very worried about the war in Liaodong, for fear that one day there will suddenly be news that Gao Gong Yang Liang has broken through the enemy country and captured the class of the king of Goryeo. Now that the defeat of the Eastern Army has been decided, Yang Guang finally breathed a sigh of relief. He won the bet, and in the current situation, no matter how unwilling the Son of Heaven is to admit defeat, the final defeat is already doomed. It won't be long before the Son of Heaven will recognize the reality and finally give the order to withdraw the troops.

The Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo failed, and both the princelings and the Han Dynasty suffered heavy losses, and Yang Guang reaped the benefits.

"Gao Ying has been sitting in the phase for too many years, and after this time, Gao Ying is afraid that he will no longer be able to be relied on and trusted as before in his father's heart." Yang Guang smiled secretly in his heart, the 300,000 army lost its troops and generals, and it had already been defeated like this before it fought with Goryeo, and it was difficult to say whether thirty percent of the men and horses could come back by then. Lost more than 100,000 or 200,000 soldiers at once, and someone will have to take responsibility at that time, whether it is Gao Gong or Yang Liang, this time they have all suffered a dull stick.

Looking back now, I did have some luck, earlier, who would have taken a Goguryeo to heart, and who didn't think that this expedition was a must-win game. But as a result now, the army has already been defeated by itself before it has made a move with the Goguryeo. The Sui army was too light on the enemy, and the preparations were too hasty, and now that I think about it, if I lead the troops forward, I am afraid it will be the same defeat. Suddenly, Yang Guang paid more attention to Yi Feng, who had already been determined to lose this battle.

When Yi Feng told himself that the Eastern Expedition would fail, he was besieged by himself in Gaojiazhuang, but he dared to come to his military camp alone. Looking at it now, the Eastern Expeditionary Army has been defeated, and Yi Feng has unknowingly and in a short period of time, he has pulled up a lot of force in Huaihuang, and has even been recognized by the Son of Heaven.

This illegitimate child is really not simple, and he still underestimated him in the past.

Kaifu Yitong Sansi, the champion general, the Huaihuang County Commander, and the Huaihuang Town General, can not only see that the Eastern Expedition will be defeated before the Eastern Expedition, but also pacify Yanshan and Daqing Mountain and green forests in a short period of time, and build Huaihuang Town, I really underestimated him in the past.

Yang Guang suddenly sighed, he remembered Yi Feng's mother, the woman who once made him unforgettable, the frivolity of his youth, uninhibited for a while, but in the end it made a big mistake. If it weren't for that accident, maybe he and the prince could be a pair of good brothers, brothers, friends and brothers, and they wouldn't hate each other like this for twenty years.

"You didn't kill him sixteen years ago, and sixteen years later, you can't kill him again!" Yang Guang shook his head coldly. (To be continued......)
