Chapter 179: The War in Liaodong

"Your Majesty."

When he came to the palace, Yang Guang unexpectedly did not have fun.

Instead, he sat in the middle of the study, staring at a map on the table, looking very serious, as if he was thinking about something.

Ye Chen noticed that this seemed to be a map of the places bordering Goguryeo in the Great Sui.

It not only clearly marks the border of the northeastern part of the Great Sui, but also the territory of Goguryeo......

"National teacher, you're here."

Hearing Ye Chen's voice, Yang Guang raised his head, smiled, and explained: "If you have nothing to do, you can read a few times casually......"

"I don't know Your Majesty, what is the matter with summoning Poor Dao into the palace?"

Glancing at the map on the table, Ye Chen smiled secretly, and said faintly: "If you didn't guess wrong, I'm afraid it has something to do with Goguryeo?" ”

"Not bad."

Seeing through the intention at a glance, Yang Guang was not annoyed, but sighed and said: "Not long ago, an urgent report came from Liaodong, saying that the Goguryeo army was besieging Liaodong City, invading the borders of our Great Sui, and wantonly plundering...... The defenders of Liaodong City suffered heavy casualties, but fortunately, this group did not occupy Liaodong City......"

"I heard that His Majesty has made two unsuccessful expeditions to Goguryeo?"

"The ...... of non-war crimes"

Yang Guang shook his head, as if he was recalling something, couldn't help but close his eyes, and muttered: "Goguryeo, the great disaster of Sui, if you don't take it today, the future generations will suffer for your descendants...... However, there is a person in Goguryeo who has the best martial arts in the world, and he is dedicated to guarding, and my first crusade to the east was defeated by this person who personally led the army......"

"As for the second time, I recuperated and regained my strength, but I met Yang Xuangan, a chaotic minister and thief, who was making trouble, it was simply unreasonable!"

mentioned "Yang Xuangan", Yang Guang was also annoyed.

In the ninth year of the Great Cause, Yang Guang went to Goguryeo for the second time, and Yang Xuangan was ordered to supervise the transportation of grain and grass in Liyang.

At that time, peasant uprisings broke out one after another, Yang Xuangan seized the opportunity, stranded grain and grass, took the opportunity to rebel, stationed troops in Liyang, attacked the capital Luoyang, fought for a long time, and was defeated repeatedly, and finally was defeated by the general Yuwenshu. Yang Xuangan was desperate and ordered his brother Yang Jishan to kill him.

Yang Xuan's rebellion forced Yang Guang to withdraw his troops from Liaodong and give up attacking Goguryeo to stabilize the internal turmoil in the Sui Dynasty, which was also a missed opportunity.

As for the third ......

Coincidentally, at this point in time when Ye Chen arrived, it happened to be Yang Guang's third expedition to Goguryeo.

But......

According to the trajectory of history, this time will also be stillborn.

But the world of the Tang Dynasty Double Dragon is the martial arts world written by Mr. Huang Yi after all, rather than the real history......

But Ye Chen could think that this time Yang Guang's resistance would not be much smaller than in history.

"National teacher, would you like to wish me a hand!"

Looking at Yang Guang, whose eyes lit up and seemed to be reinvigorated, Ye Chen also smiled slightly.

"I am willing to serve Your Majesty."

Coming to this world of the Tang Dynasty Double Dragons, if it weren't for the task of preaching the heavens, Ye Chen would have been tired of it, and now helping Yang Guang change his life against the sky can be regarded as finding something interesting for himself in his spare time.

"Good!"

Receiving Ye Chen's promise, Yang Guangda smiled and said loudly: "Come here, spread my message, tomorrow morning, announce your Aiqing meeting, I have something important to announce......"

…………

Early the next morning.

Looking at Ye Chen, who looked like an old god in the main hall, many ministers also muttered in their hearts.

This national teacher has always lived in his own mansion, living in a simple place.

Even he was shocked today, could it be that what His Majesty was going to announce was something earth-shattering?

Sure enough......

When the court meeting began, Yang Guang got straight to the point and said: "There is an urgent report from Liaodong, Goguryeo invaded my Great Sui border and slaughtered my Great Sui people. ”

When Yang Guang opened his mouth, the ministers were also shocked.

They didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor, after two failed expeditions to Goguryeo, would insist on going his own way.

"Your Majesty, this must not be done!"

"Your Majesty, the expedition to Goguryeo wasted the people and money, and the officers and soldiers in the army were also miserable, besides, if the army went out on the expedition, and there were rebellious ministers and thieves, bringing disaster to the country and the people, and turbulent the dynasty, what should I do, please think twice, Your Majesty thinks twice......"

On the military general's side, he showed great joy.

"Your Majesty, Goguryeo has provoked my Great Sui several times, and the ministers have the courage to ask for war!"

"The last general is not talented, I am willing to follow His Majesty's side to go on the expedition to follow the power of dogs and horses!"

Compared with Wenchen, the generals are all eager to make contributions, but most of them followed Yang Guang in their early years, fighting in the south and the north, and naturally they will not refuse this rare opportunity.

"A group of martial artists, they know how to fight and kill all day long, but they don't think about their family, country and society!"

"Hmph, those Goguryeo people have all bullied me to the Great Sui Kingdom, do I still have to kneel down and beg for peace?"

"Nonsense, family and country affairs, how can it be child's play?"

"I know all day long that I want to make peace and go to peace, you literati are a group of wretched!"

"Takeo!"

"Whitch!"

The military generals of Wenchen insisted on their own words, and they even quarreled above the court.

"Alright—"

Seeing this situation, Yang Guang couldn't help but rub his brows, snorted, and said, "I have made up my mind, and the other ...... This Warring States Division will also go with him, if that Fu Cailin dares to appear again, he will definitely look good-"

"Yuwenshu, Laihu'er, Wang Rengong, Yang Yichen, Zhang Xutuo......"

"The minister is here."

Several generals whose names were read were also happy.

"This expedition to Goguryeo, you and others will follow me to the expedition, there must be no mistakes, can there be any objections?"

"Minister, obey the order."

"As for Uncle Wang......"

While speaking, Yang Guang also saw an old man with a shining spirit, the latter was the famous "backer king" Yang Lin, Yang Guang's uncle, one of the nine founding elders of the Sui Dynasty, who had made countless meritorious contributions, respected status, and high morality.

Even in the army, Yang Lin has a very high prestige and is deeply admired by many generals.

"I personally conquered Goryeo, and as soon as the court and the central government should take care of things, they will be handed over to Uncle Wang to take care of, if there are young people who are traitors and criminals, Uncle Wang can cut them first and then play."

"The old minister obeys."

Regarding Yang Guang's arrangement to sit in the rear, Yang Lin had no objection.

He also knew that he was too old to travel long distances, and now that the government was in turmoil, if there was no person with enough prestige in the court, it would inevitably give some people an opportunity to take advantage of.

"In addition, when the army goes out, the logistics of grain and grass are in charge of Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang State......"

Seeing Yang Guang suddenly speak, everyone couldn't help but look at an inconspicuous middle-aged man in the crowd.
