Yang Guang's team went to Youzhou as fast as possible, and before arriving at Youzhou City, a small group of people was waiting for him on the official road, and the leader was a young general, with a handsome face, distinct facial features, a high nose bridge and a strong chin outlining a firm and decisive outline.

But there is no killing atmosphere, but it shows an elegant demeanor.

King Jin's team stopped.

"Weichen Hussar General Yin Shishishi, see His Royal Highness the King of Jin."

The Yin Shishi received a letter from Li Jing, saying that His Royal Highness the King of Jin would see him once before entering Youzhou, so he waited on this necessary road.

Yang Guang first saw the Yin Shishi, and he had a good impression of this famous general, he didn't look like a thief-eyed young man, and in history, he was the last person to stick to the Great Sui to resist Li Yuan.

After having this preconceived idea, Yang Guang also took a look at it.

"General Yin Shou is sitting in Youzhou, famous, but unfortunately this king has not been able to pay a visit, today I saw the little general, and I want to be seven or eight points similar to the old general."

There was a look of nostalgia in the eyes of the Yin Shishi: "When my father was alive, he often mentioned His Royal Highness the King of Jin, saying that His Royal Highness the King of Jin in Daxing City was able to make money for the court in the end of such a large-scale construction project as Daxing City. ”

After a few words of greeting, Yang Guang cut to the chase: "General Yin, today this king wants to see you before entering Youzhou City, presumably you also know the purpose, and this king will not beat around the bush, and ask the general to analyze the current situation in Youzhou City for me, so as to clear my eyes." ”

Yin Shishi hesitated and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, I am from Youzhou City, do you believe what I said?" ”

"With the prestige of the old general, you will be believed."

Yin Shishi nodded heavily, sighed and said: "Since His Royal Highness the Prince returned to Beijing for no reason, after King Wei suddenly died, the morale in the city was very low, in fact, before King Wei came to Youzhou City, the atmosphere in the city was not good, some guards were found to have been reselling firearms to Goguryeo for a long time, although the number of each time is not large, but the total amount is also a lot, for this matter, His Royal Highness the Prince killed the offender, but did not report to the capital. ”

Yang Guang's face remained unchanged, but his eyes became even colder, just from this one thing, it seems that the governance of the border pass is very poor, and it is not accurately reported.

Yin Shishi continued: "After His Royal Highness King Wei arrived, he strictly grasped discipline, and everything was better, because he won the battle, so the morale of everyone was high, and victory could always cover up a lot of things, and it didn't break out until King Wei died. ”

"In the city, the generals of King Wei, the prince's generals, the former Youzhou city generals, and some of the generals who came from the surrounding signs, and now there are His Royal Highness the King of Jin, your generals, the city can be described as full of soldiers, but now the forces are fighting fiercely, no one obeys anyone, the internal is uneven, how to resist the foreign enemy, so the Goguryeo beat without the power to fight back, and then the morale is even more sluggish."

"Everyone has their own thoughts, so they are unwilling to charge forward, and they have sacrificed their lives to give credit to the family, and their strategies for fighting are different, and no one can subdue the other side."

If the dragon has no leader, it will be chaotic.

Internal and external troubles, now have, Yang Guang asked: "General, you have been in Youzhou City for many years, if you are asked to solve the current matter now, how can you solve it?" ”

The Yin World Master looked embarrassed.

"You can just say it."

"The last general feels that the forces of all parties in Youzhou City are too complicated, and if you want to completely subdue it in a short period of time, I am afraid it will be difficult to do it.

Yang Guang felt that Yin Shishishi's words were right, victory could cover up a lot of discordant things, the Youzhou army, which had been defeated in successive battles, the Youzhou army with internal and external troubles, and Yang Guang, who had just arrived, all needed a victory to recover the decline.

Otherwise, everything is nothing more than empty talk now, and even if King Wei is resurrected, there is no way to reconcile such a complicated internal situation in a short period of time.

However, it is extremely difficult to win a victory with such a low internal combat effectiveness.

Yang Guang stretched out his hand and rubbed his temples, and then said to the Yin World Master: "If I want to lead the troops into battle, is General Yin willing to fight with me?" ”

The Yin Shishi immediately saluted: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, if there is an order, the last general will obey it." ”

Yang Guang nodded, just now Yin Shishi said that there are various forces in the city, among which there is a large force, called the Youzhou Army, this is the main force of the real Youzhou, and it is the division of a hundred battles, before the Youzhou Army led by Yin Shou fought Lu Longsai and won Gao Baoning.

The crown prince and King Wei led their troops to come, but there were only a few thousand people, although they were all generals who could fight well, but the main army had to use Youzhou City.

You don't have to think about it to know that according to the prince's style, he must have commanded the original army of Youzhou City when he arrived, and commanded his cronies to let the army of Youzhou City charge ahead.

If you die on the battlefield, I will have military merits.

This kind of behavior, not to mention the Youzhou army, I can't bear it if I change it, plus the prince's subordinates sell firearms for the sake of profit, although they kill people, but the resentment deepens sharply.

Later, King Wei came, and with his military ability, he forcibly took down the city of Goguryeo in the winter, and turned it into a major attack.

Yang Guang finally understood why King Wei took the risk of attacking in winter, he thought it was a trick, but he didn't expect that in addition to dispatching surprise soldiers, there was also this consideration, in this case, he admired King Wei's military ability, he could fight, and he was also proficient in internal affairs.

It's a pity that the sky doesn't pre-live.

When Fang Cai Yin Shishi said about the Youzhou Army, Yang Guang understood that in fact, he also had grievances, grievances that had not been reused.

As the son of Yin Shou, and he is not a son who has just won the name of a Yin Shou general, he is twenty years old, don't look elegant, he can fight very well, and he can lead the army, but when the prince sat down, he never saw his name once in the newspaper, and the credit was all in the hands of others, where could the young man with strong blood endure it.

Therefore, to do a good job in the relationship between the Youzhou Army, the Yin World Division is very crucial.

"General Yin, before this king entered the city, he saw you alone, do you know why?"

The Yin World Master also said bluntly: "You can guess one or two." ”

"Let's talk about it."

"First, His Royal Highness naturally wants to find me to understand the current situation in Youzhou City, so that I can be fully prepared after entering the city, and second, the last general dares to guess whether His Royal Highness has a heavy responsibility to hand over to the last general."

"Hahaha." Yang Guang smiled heartily: "General Yin is quick to talk, I like it very much, it's okay like this, less twists and turns, yes, this king has a heavy responsibility for you." ”

Yang Guang continued: "This king came to Youzhou, the general power of Goguryeo, there are not many generals, and most of them are medical soldiers, mainly for the treatment of front-line soldiers, so there is an urgent need for talents, when General Yinshou was the assassin of Youzhou, the governor of You'anping camp Yi Wei Six States military, of which Yingzhou was taken back from the rebel general Gao Baoning, and the little general also participated in the war at that time." ”

Yin Shishi said with great integrity: "I was only fifteen years old, but I also followed my father to carry a gun and get on the horse, and in the first battle in my life, I killed only three enemies, which is really ashamed. ”

"It's not easy to kill three enemies at the age of fifteen, the general doesn't have to be arrogant, you have already passed the weak crown, this king is not like the king of Wei has a trick, not like the prince has so many elite soldiers and strong generals in the court, a good man and three gangs, and it all depends on the help of the general."

"Your Highness, what are you talking about?"

"In this way, after this king enters the city, he will first appoint you as the acting governor of Yingzhou, Yingzhou is close to Goguryeo, it is very dangerous, I don't know if the general is willing to share the worries of this king."

The Yin Shishi didn't talk nonsense, and immediately saluted: "The last general Yin Shishi is willing to serve His Royal Highness the King of Jin and serve the Great Sui." ”

Young people in their twenties, most of them do things with righteousness, and if you don't let him be a pioneer, he thinks you look down on him.

Especially for a person like Yin Shishi, his father is such a powerful person, and he is also very eager to make contributions to prove that he is qualified to be the son of Yin Shou and inherit his prestige.

Since he wants to make a contribution, you have to give him a chance.

Before parting, Yang Guang instructed him: "General Yin, many things in the Youzhou Army, I will inevitably ask for more advice in the future." ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, the last general will do his best to assist His Highness."

A small group of people left first, and Laihu'er carried a spear and said with a big grin: "Your Highness, your guy looks weak and weak, why do you still let him take charge of the responsibility of the governor?" ”

"When my Uncle Wei Wang is wearing regular clothes, doesn't he also look like a scholar, are you sure you can beat him?"

Lai Hu'er smiled: "Your Highness, the characters such as King Wei are not the same, but Your Highness, you have appointed the position of the head of Yingzhou before you enter the city, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”

"Why not?"

Lai Hu'er stuck his spear on the ground, took out the map and said: "Before leaving, I also studied the map, our army lost the Goguryeo city that we won before, and now Yingzhou is the closest place to Goguryeo, once the fight starts, it will be the vanguard camp, such a place must be in the hands of the bloody and fierce people, otherwise, if the weak scholar who hesitates, he will definitely delay the fighter." ”

Qin Qiong had a different opinion: "I think that Yin Shishi is decisive, has a clear purpose, and looks like a scholar, but his face is whiter, and his body is not thin, so it is no problem." ”

"You little brat, what do you know?"

"You big guy, what do you know?"

The two often quarreled, and Yang Guang shook his head helplessly: "Look, the two of you are often together and quarrelling, what kind of fight do those people in the city have to fight." ”

The two immediately saluted: "Your Highness, the last general is rude." ”

"Get up, I don't care if I fight in private, but in front of the battle, in front of the army, in front of others, it is me Yang Guang who has no way to discipline me."

"Your Highness, the last general knows that he is wrong."

Before the team began to continue marching, Yang Guang handwrote a letter and handed it to the cavalry: "Hurry up and hurry to Donglai County (Weihai) in Qingzhou and hand it over to Li Jing, there must be no mistake." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

Yang Guang's team arrived at the foot of Youzhou City, and Youzhou civil and military officials came out to greet them.

Yang Guang, who was riding a horse, looked up at the city wall of Youzhou City, a major town in the north with thick walls, which was the largest military fortress in the northeast of the Central Plains in the era of cold weapons.

Unlike the prosperity revealed in the tall and majestic walls of Daxing City, the walls of Youzhou City reveal the vicissitudes of life, and almost every inch of the city has traces of war baptism, and in the past few decades, this city has always experienced war.

Looking at the team that came, among the officials waiting in Youzhou City, some people couldn't help but discuss: "The prince is gone, and now the king of Jin is here again, and the good situation that our king Wei fought at that time has now been lost, hey." ”

"You be quiet, there is still a difference between the king of Jin and the crown prince, when he fought against the Turks, the king of Jin did not add to the chaos, and he also had a strange plot."

"Not all crows in the world are black."

"Be quiet."

When Yang Guang's team officially arrived at Youzhou City, the eunuch of the prison army stepped forward to read the holy decree.

"Feng Da Sima, Yang Guang, the king of Jin, led the history of Youzhou Assassination, commanded the military of the six states of You'anping, Yiwei, controlled the army of Shandong and Hebei, and made every effort to supervise the battle of Goguryeo."

"Long live my emperor."

After Yang Guang read out the holy decree, he said to everyone: "Youzhou is present with civil and military officials of five grades and above. ”

A few or thirty people came out sparsely.

The official positions of the Sui Dynasty are mostly fictitious, Taishi, Taibao, Taifu and the like, the three products are the books of the various ministries in the Central Plains, and the real power positions such as the history of Youzhou in the local area, and the key officials between the three and five grades are mostly the key officials who can go to the palace to discuss matters, and there are very few officials of this grade in the local area.

Youzhou is more because it is a military town, mainly because of a large number of generals with the name of the prince brought by the prince, and anyone who has the word prince in the official position is not a small official.

It's enough to be powerful in front of local officials.

There are also a few of the generals brought by King Wei who are not of low grade.

Only then did a total of thirty-seven people appear at the scene, more than five officials.

Yang Guang looked around: "The existing enemy is current, there is no need to welcome, there is no need to be polite, you people will follow this king into the Youzhou Assassin Mansion and discuss matters together." ”

The resolute Yang Guang rode a big horse to disperse the welcoming procession, and his own subordinates took over the control of the Assassin's Mansion first, and then led officials above the rank in Youzhou City to discuss matters.

The ministers were panicked and didn't know its purpose, and some panicked entered the Assassin's Mansion.

Before entering the main hall, the eunuch who had announced the decree before stopped everyone: "The prince washes the horse, the prince left and right guards, the prince's left and right concubines, the prince's right concubine, the prince's consultation and participation in the military, the prince's left and right prison deputy rate, the prince's inner house, the prince's family order, the prince's pro-Xun Yiwei Lang general, the prince's Zhongyun, the prince's left and right Zanshan doctors......"

After reading a large list of civil and military officials, the eunuch put away the list.

"All of the above, out of the ranks."

All of a sudden, about half of the civil and military officials who came here were divided.

The eunuch then said: "All the above people have returned to the court and entered the East Palace to serve His Royal Highness the Prince, and the rest of the people entered to discuss with His Royal Highness the King of Jin. ”
