Chapter 505: Wu Gong is a shocker to the world
The failure of the second expedition to Goguryeo was a huge blow to the prestige of Yang Guang and the Sui Dynasty.
As a result, the entire hinterland of the Central Plains, as well as the north of the Yellow River, is completely chaotic, among which the name of Wagangzhai is the loudest, and its big leader Zhai Rang is even more famous, quite the crazy posture of the first leader of the Central Plains Righteous Army.
Seeing that the Great Sui was about to end, Lei Hu acted with a lot less scruples, and after returning to the south, he directly opened the way with Yang Guang's holy decree, and personally went out to collect the management of the remaining three counties in Jiangdong.
If you are honest and obedient, give a chance to send it to the government affairs school under the rule of the Guogong Mansion to study and study, and if you have a suitable opportunity in the future, you will naturally have a chance to recover.
Unwilling to be honest and obedient, obediently handed over the authority in his hands, Lei Hu was not polite to them, and directly let the henchmen with him replace him, and depose all the original officials, if anyone is not satisfied, then speak with his fists.
Are you kidding!
In the entire six counties of Jiangdong, there is still no existence that can fight with Lei Hu, even if Song Que makes a move, there is no need to worry about accidents at all.
It only took less than three months, and Lei Hu quietly brought the other three counties out of the six counties in Jiangdong into control!
The news did not spread, and the Guogong Mansion was deliberately low-key, and there was no uproar, but the high-level forces who should know knew it knew it for the first time.
The six counties of Jiangdong have fallen into the hands of Wu Guogong!
This astonishing news spread wildly in the high-level of the gate valve family in various places, causing an uproar.
The territory mastered by Wu Guogong has included all the essence territories of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period, and it can be said that Wu Guogong at this time is comparable to the lord of Eastern Wu at the time of the Three Kingdoms!
How does this work?
The forces on the side are only envious, jealous and hateful, and they can't wait to replace them with their bodies, but the high-level forces with ambitions and intentions for the great rivers and mountains of the Central Plains have changed color.
Before they started to move, Wu Guogong had basically unified the essence of the south of the south, so how should they deal with it in the future?
Especially the three major gates of the northern land, they were angry and envious in their hearts, and secretly did not use any means, and even muttered a few words in Yang Guang's ears from time to time, hoping that this Emperor Sui, who was almost crazy, would take back his fate.
It is a pity that Yang Xuangan's rebellion at a critical moment not only completely destroyed the second expedition to Goguryeo, but also made Yang Guang's relationship with the Guanlong military group extremely bad.
It is impossible to say that Yang Guang is not distressed about paying three of the six counties in Jiangdong as trading objects.
But the children of the three major gates whispered in his ear all day long, which not only failed to resonate with him, but aroused the disgust of this arrogant genius.
If it weren't for the secret actions of the Guanlong military group, his expedition to Goguryeo would have been successful, and when the time came, he would have forced Lei Hu to give up most of his power with the threat of a great victory, and at the same time wiped out all the rebels who jumped out of the Central Plains, which was a long-term plan in Yang Guang's heart.
As a result, because Yang Xuangan's rebellion was all in vain, if Yang Guang hated the most in his heart at this time, and at the same time wanted to suppress the forces the most, the Guanlong Military Group and the three major lords of the North naturally could not escape.
There is prejudice in their hearts, no matter how hard they try, they can't make Yang Guang's heart move.
What are you kidding, is Wu Guogong Lei Hu an existence that can be frustrated casually?
If he really angered the number one master in the world and forced him to put down his face and carry out that assassination, I am afraid that there is no existence in the entire eastern land that can escape the fate of death.
Don't think that the battle between Lei Hu and Fu Cailin, the master of Goguryeo Yijian, can hide from the well-informed high-level of the major forces.
Although I don't know how Fu Cailin was defeated silently, I learned through various channels that Fu Cailin was indeed seriously injured, and the injury that was almost split in half with a knife was somehow revealed.
The high-level leaders of the major forces who learned the news all gasped when they heard the news.
Although Fu Cailin did not confirm it personally, he needed to recuperate for at least a year's injury, but he couldn't fake it, 3 and the high-level leaders of the major forces were not shocked.
Moreover, Lei Hu's feat of splitting Liaodong City with one knife was also spread to the world at this time, making his reputation as the world's number one master even more shining.
Being able to break through a military town with high walls and thick walls with such a strong posture and the strength of one person, Lei Hu's martial arts can already be said to be extraordinary, which is not comparable to ordinary people in martial arts.
No matter which high-level force it is, if you want to go against Thunder Tiger, as long as you think of its terrifying strength, you will naturally extinguish that extreme thought.
Not to mention, the forces under Lei Hu are not vegetarians, and the army under the command of Wu Guogong is known as the strongest army in the world, although the army on the surface has not exceeded 100,000, but in fact, the number of troops under Lei Hu can easily exceed 300,000!
It can be said that Wu Guogong, who occupies the six counties of Jiangdong, has completely become a trend!
Even if Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty wanted to suppress it, he could only take advantage of the fact that Wu Guogong had occupied three of the six counties in Jiangdong for a short time, and before he completely digested it, he raised all his troops to go south, otherwise the entire Great Sui had no power to stop Lei Hu from becoming the lord of the south.
It's a pity that Yang Guangxiang at this time was a gambler who lost red-eyed, and he didn't pay attention to Lei Hu, the Duke of Wu Guo, who had become the lord of the south, but after extinguishing Yang Xuangan's rebellion with lightning speed, he once again put forward the crazy idea of an expedition to Goguryeo.
The idea is truly insane!
Although Yang Xuan felt that he was not successful enough to defeat too quickly and did not cause much damage to the hinterland of Heluo, Yang Guang still had hundreds of thousands of elite Sui troops in his hands, and he was still able to sweep through the Central Plains to deter the outside world, and his strength was still the strongest in the entire Great Sui world.
However, the time interval between the three expeditions to Goguryeo was too short, almost once in a year, and there were counterinsurgency and all kinds of miscellaneous entanglements, even the iron-beaten men couldn't bear it.
At this time, the hundreds of thousands of Sui troops under Yang Guang, although elite, were a veritable tired army, and they urgently needed to rest and recover.
At this time, although the Great Sui was full of smoke everywhere, the country was not lost, at least there was no shortage of grain, grass and ordnance, as long as Yang Guang could rest assured that he could accumulate for a period of time, although it was not easy to reintegrate the resources of the North, he had not lost hope.
It's just that this really doesn't look like an emperor, he focuses on his own preferences, doesn't pay attention to the reality at all, and wants to save face, Yang Xuangan's rebellion Yiping immediately started the third expedition to Goguryeo.
Of course, although the Sui army under Yang Guang was tired in this battle, the chance of winning was still more than seventy percent.
The overall strength of the Great Sui was too strong compared to Goguryeo.
According to the popular modern saying, the Great Sui can afford to lose once, twice, or even three times, but Goguryeo can't afford even one big defeat, and the gap in national strength is so realistic.
Moreover, although the first two expeditions of the Great Sui ended in failure, they were not ineffective at all.
Yang Guang's move to recruit a million troops at every turn, although in the eyes of the real military people is a little suspicious of being excessive, it has to be said that the effect is still obvious.
At the very least, in the face of the power of the million-strong army of the Great Sui as Mount Tai, every Goguryeo had to mobilize all its strength to barely have the strength to fight.
As long as the brain is not confused, they all know that the extreme mobilization is extremely harmful to the country's economy and people's livelihood, and in just two years, Goguryeo, which is a small country and a widow, was forced to come to the extreme mobilization twice, which itself is also a loss of vitality and strength, how can there be any foundation to continue to play such means as extreme mobilization?
If Yang Guang could take advantage of the situation to destroy Goguryeo and set up counties according to the old practice of the Han Dynasty, he could still save a lot of prestige.
No matter how you say it, it is the work of destroying the country, and the officials and people of the Central Plains really eat such a set.
At that time, Yang Guang's prestige had regained, and he had the name of righteousness in his hands, and it was unrealistic to want to reunite the domestic forces, but it was not a problem to suppress the southern forces and continue the national fortunes of the Great Sui.
Therefore, although Yang Guang's third expedition to Goguryeo was far less powerful than the previous two wars, it still attracted the attention of the high-level leaders of the major forces.
……
Lei Hu didn't have the heart to pay attention to Yang Guang's, whether he would make a big international joke like in the official history, and finally made a situation of undefeated and defeated, and defeated the last hope, it had nothing to do with him.
If it weren't for the connection of the Grand Canal, the distance between the land south of the Yangtze River and Liaodong would still be too far, and the traffic situation at that time would have an effective impact.
It was easy to take the remaining three of the six counties in Jiangdong, but the next governance was not so simple.
Even if the wealth accumulated by the Guogong Mansion over the years is sufficient, and there are also sufficient talents of all kinds, but if the new three counties are completely incorporated into the governance system, there is no need to count on it in three or five years.
This is still under the condition that everything goes smoothly and there is no trouble in the middle, otherwise the time will only be longer.
Of course, the subordinate bureaucrats of the Guogong Government already have experience, but they are just assigning governance and construction tasks in an orderly manner according to the specific conditions of the newly incorporated three counties.
For a while, the establishment of the civil production and construction corps of the three counties was in full swing, and a large number of materials gathered to the three counties through the water and land channels, and it did not take long for the three counties to become a lively construction site.
It's just that according to the previous model of accepting the two counties of Huiji and Danyang, the newly included three counties are slowly absorbed and digested.
"Ah Hu, you're amazing!"
When Song Que appeared in front of Lei Hu again, he couldn't help but sigh and said with mixed feelings: "I didn't expect that unconsciously, you are no longer inferior to the Lord Wu of the Three Kingdoms period!" ”
"It's still not enough!"
Lei Hu smiled and waved his hand, shook his head and said, "It's a trouble to digest the Xinna territory alone, otherwise it can develop even more rapidly!" ”
"You are also too harsh, especially unceremonious to the local nobles, it is difficult to get their help and allegiance!"
Song Que couldn't help but mention: "It's better not to go too far, after all, the Shi clan is the foundation of the place, and it is not easy to suppress it!" ”
Lei Hu smiled lightly and said leisurely: "But I just can't see them taking advantage of nothing, if you want to have a harvest, you have to put in enough effort, this is the consistent purpose of the son-in-law, there is no need to change course for the sake of the scholars!" ”
