On the third day of the third month of the fourteenth year of the Great Cause

Shen Luoyan was in the palace and spoke to Yang Xuanning: "Your Majesty, Luoyang City has been cleared, and together with the heretics in the army, there is also a list, please read it." /。 ”

She is not wearing an official uniform, her eyes are like autumn water, with slender eyebrows and sideburns, jade skin like snow, and a graceful posture, she is indeed a rare beauty, and the most rare thing is that she has a noble temperament, which makes people feel that she is in a high position. Yang Xuanning took it, read it for a while, put it down, and said: "Very good, this time, you contacted Luoyang Suichen, forced Yang out of the city and surrendered, saving 50,000 outnumbered soldiers, which is really a great achievement." ”

Shen Luoyan stretched out his hand to stroke his hair, revealing his whole intoxicating face, and said lightly: "This is what the ministers should have." ”

Yang Xuanning smiled suddenly, sighed again, and said: "What do you think of the grandson of the Sui Emperor?" Shen Luoyan knew that this topic was important, but what the king asked, he had to answer, thought about it, and said: "Your Majesty, Yang is only seventeen this year, as far as I know, he is indeed a natural talent, but he is too young and has no opportunity, so he surrendered without a fight. ”

Yang Xuanning nodded, to Yang, he had only seen him once, but he was indeed young and talented, frowned slightly, and after half a sound, he asked again: "How is he doing now?"

"This person now lives in a house, has been supervised by the minister's Jinyi guard, a few days ago, has been transferred to the factory guard. Shen Luoyan replied: "However, the minister is outside, and he also sent a team to observe." ”

Yang Xuanning groaned: "What do you think of it?"

"If according to the law of the previous dynasty, the king of the dead country is all sealed as a public and idle. Not allowed to go out, not much contact with outsiders, Yang Fei is the emperor. However, if he is also the grandson of the emperor, he can also be disposed of as a subtraction. It's just that although this person is young, he has a heroic spirit, whether it falls into the hands of outsiders or gets fish and water, as long as he has a slight opportunity. It can immediately turn up the big waves, the king, the Sui unified the world, although the first emperor lost his morality, but Emperor Wen worked hard, the wind is very high, the potential impact can not be underestimated, how to decide, this is the king's power. ”

Yang Xuanning nodded. In fact, in the past, the tradition of not killing the king of the country was still there, but it started with Liu Yu. After killing the imperial family of the emperor of the previous dynasty, all dynasties and dynasties took the killing of the royal family of the previous dynasty as the first priority.

But. Song Taizu. also left the Later Zhou clan, in fact, Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty. also stayed, in Kaifeng was named the Marquis of disobedience, worshiped General Zuo Qianniuwei.

The history books say that Zhao Guangyi forcibly stayed in the palace many times. Li Yu was very depressed because of this, and wrote famous songs such as "Wangjiangnan", "Midnight Song", and "Yu Beauty", among which there were many resentments, and he was poisoned by Song Taizong, which actually has nothing to do with political factors.

Thinking of the Song Dynasty, he couldn't help but think of the "snowy night decision" of the crime

The Song Dynasty was founded, with the Northern Han and Khitan in the north, Houshu in the west, and the Southern Tang, Wuyue, Jingnan, Hunan, and Southern Han countries in the south. Zhao Pu asked, "It's cold in the middle of the night, why does Your Majesty still come out?"

Zhao Kuangyin replied: "I can't sleep! ”

Zhao Pu: "Does Your Majesty feel that your world is too narrow? Now is an excellent time to conquer the southern and northern expeditions and dominate the world, I don't know how Your Majesty thinks about the direction of the march." ”

Zhao Kuangyin deliberately said: "I want to attack Taiyuan, the capital of the Northern Han Kingdom, first. ”

After a long time, Zhao Pumo said, "I don't understand this. ”

Zhao Kuangyin asked, "Why?"

Zhao Pu analyzed: "The Northern Han has the Khitan as a backup, and it is harmful and unprofitable to attack it, even if the Northern Han is destroyed, it is better to bear the strong pressure of the Khitan alone, it is better to save the Northern Han first, as a shield to block the Khitan, concentrate on destroying the southern countries, and then concentrate on the north." ”

and Zhao Pu's words, so that Zhao Kuangyin finally determined the strategic policy of "first the south and then the north" and "first easy and then difficult".

And now he is actually the strategic policy of the Song Dynasty, but he has pacified the south, and now the goal is to pacify Shuzhong.

Compared with the Song Dynasty in history, his situation is much better, thinking of this, Yang Xuanning showed a smile on his face, and had already made a decision, and said: "If the widow does not kill the holy grandson, he will be named the Marquis of Anning, and he will still be granted the land according to the system, but he is not allowed to go out at will. ”

Shen Luoyan didn't respond, this shouldn't be her answer.

Yang Xuanning was thoughtful, and after half a sound, he heard Yang Xuanning say again: "Jinyi Wei is outside, the north must be more attentive, and recruit the heroes of the family, and more attentively." Yang Xuanning was silent for a while, and then said: "Taiwan, have you ever sent someone to investigate?"

"Back to the king, the land of Taiwan, the desolation is extreme, the ministers and others sent dozens of people forward, and there were many epidemics, among which there were natives, fierce cannibals, but the area was very large. ”

Shen Luoyan replied, in fact, she didn't think so, this Taiwan is Yizhou in the Three Kingdoms, because Yang Xuanning named Taiwan, so it is called Taiwan, in her opinion, now even the south is not developed, the population is insufficient, why pursue farther islands?

This principle, in fact, Yang Xuanning also understands that at this time, the population of the world is only 10 million households, 40 or 50 million people, and the development of the south and northeast can be used for hundreds of years.

Historically, the Tang Dynasty greatly expanded its territory, but the main population could not keep up at all, and had to retreat, which is one of the lessons of history.

It's just that Yang Xuanning can't tolerate the Guanlong military aristocratic group anymore.

The invasion of the Wuhu, the Han clan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, with the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty, was either destroyed, or moved south, or took refuge in the Hu people, and the Hu people were the main body, and combined with the Han family, the Guanlong military aristocratic group began to form, creating a total of four dynasties, namely the Western Wei Dynasty. Northern Zhou, Sui, Tang.

Its origin is the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty established by the Xianbei people. The Guanlong military aristocracy has two major characteristics. The first is to take the Hu people as the main body, and integrate the armed and intelligent people in the Han nationality. The second is that if you enter, you will be a phase, and if you go out, you will be a general, and there is no such thing as a civil and military separation.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you are reconciled, the key is to let the Han people integrate with other ethnic groups, not the Hu people to integrate with the Han people. After the incident of Emperor Yang of Sui, Yang Xuanning already thought that it was impossible for the Guanlong military aristocratic group to settle down, they were cut off from the Turkic Shenghu Lotus, and they were connected with the same branches and leaves, if they were a member of the Guanlong military aristocratic group, maybe they could learn from Li Tang to divide and govern them, but they were not. With the south unifying the north, such a family will never surrender willingly.

After all, they are too closely connected with the Turks and other Hu peoples. If you still stay in Guanlong, you will be Hu people on the side. I'm just afraid of a little slack. Immediately lead Hu into the customs. If you kill them all, it's also a way. But it will provoke too much resistance.

Yang Xuanning has already decided to take advantage of the time of unifying the north to kill all the northern families who have stubbornly resisted, and exile them to Taiwan, together with those who have to surrender after resistance, so that they can develop Taiwan in order to survive.

Of course, this matter can't be said now, after thinking about it, Yang Xuanning said: "You also have merit in this matter, I will send the household department to send some criminals to reclaim the land first, and then you can get it back, well, you can retreat." ”

After Shen Luoyan retreated, someone announced: "Your Majesty, Pei Ju, the squire of the military department, asks to see you." ”

"Xuan comes in. ”

When Shi Zhixuan came in, he bowed and said, "The king is blessed." ”

Yang Xuanning smiled and said, "Pei Qing, please get up, I don't know what's important?"

Shi Zhixuan was dressed in an official uniform, perhaps because he had digested the Yuan Jing land, he looked like he was only in his forties, and Shen Qian was a little tired, but his eyes were full of an immeasurable light.

The second look at each other, each inductive.

Shi Zhixuan said: "Xu Shiji has good news, and he has broken Zhu Cang. ”

As he spoke, he reported the victory and presented it. Yang Xuanning took it and said with a smile: "Zhu Cang's martial arts are strong, and he usurped the title of Emperor Chu in Guanxian County, it is said that there are 200,000 soldiers, and Xu Shiji only received 30,000, and the widow was still a little worried at the time, and he couldn't imagine that he could set up this miracle in just one month!"

As he spoke, he read it.

"Your Majesty, the news here, the minister also knows something, Zhu Cang raised troops at the end of the eleventh year of the Great Cause, in this troubled times, except for the areas where there are granaries, there are military food problems in various places, Zhu Cang flows all over the country, but raises 200,000 people, and there is a great shortage of food, but this person, not only plundered the county warehouse, but also killed people for meat, although Xu Shiji only received 30,000, but everywhere he went, the counties that suffered from it, immediately responded, and jointly attacked Zhu Cang. ”

"And most of Zhu Cang, are not willing to fight, the rabble, although so, but the battle situation is very complicated, during which there are many tragic white blades, especially when attacking Zhu Cang's headquarters, they were fiercely resisted, our army died 6,000 on the spot, but Zhu Cang, and his own soldiers 300 people have been captured. ”

Yang Xuanning watched and listened, his eyebrows were smiling, and he nodded and said: "The widow is very pleased, Xu Shiji has broken Zhu Cang, and this dynasty, there is no internal trouble, and his merit is very great, that is, the first thief Zhu Cang will be escorted to Luoyang!"

"The king will not ascend to the pole every day, Xu Shiji's achievement is the right time, you can parade and sacrifice prisoners, sacrifice to the Temple of Heaven in Taimiao, and show the world on the spot, and also increase the king's merit in cleaning up the thieves and pacifying the troubled times. Shi Zhixuan said.

When he said this, Yang Xuanning suddenly smiled: "Yes, this will be handed over to the Ministry of Rites." The widow also sent a decree to the Hanlin Academy, to write a celebratory Xuanwen to come, Xu Shi's achievements are meritorious, Jin Zheng is the fourth rank of General Xuanwei, the imperial court should also take this reward, Xuanhua martial arts to boost morale, to dominate the world, the military department to calculate the function of grain and silver, but there are some charters?"

"Your Majesty, the monthly salary for the soldiers is 50,000 guan, the army is 25,000, and the bereavement of the families who died in battle will also cost 150,000 guan. ”

"This money can't be saved, it can be paid according to the foot, and it is also indispensable for meritorious soldiers to grant land according to the system. Yang Xuanning said slowly, he remembered that in the early Tang Dynasty, the government soldiers used things because of the distribution of money and fields, so they could unify the world, and when it came to Tang Gaozong. The collapse of the government soldiers was due to the fact that there was neither land nor money to give to meritorious soldiers. As a result, everyone was afraid of war, and the Tang Dynasty had to rely on the Hu tribe to fight. The emptiness of the interior resulted in the Anshi Rebellion.

Since he knew this, of course, he would not repeat the mistake, and said: "The household department has granted land according to households, and each county has a number of uninhabited land. All have been demarcated and registered, which is the foundation of the future grant of land to the soldiers, the foundation of the country, the widow is very attentive, who dares to invade this place, the widow is not stingy with swords and axes, the current grant of land, is still very sufficient, Qing can rest assured. ”

"The king is far-sighted. Thank you. ”

Yang Xuanning's smile retracted, and he asked again: "The Ministry of War has cleaned up the soldiers in various counties and counties, how is it going now?"

"Go back to the king. The counties and towns are in charge of the prefectures, and the soldiers of the counties are in each county. It's all ready. The officials and the military department have all sent the commanders of the counties to enrich them. Now there are 150,000 soldiers in the box, 361 in Zhichong Prefecture, a total of 360,000 soldiers, and the forbidden army left in Luoyang has a total of 20 guards, 5,000 per guard, and another 100,000. ”

Yang Xuanning smiled because of this: "In this way, there are also 600,000 troops, half of which can be sent on the Northern Expedition, which is 300,000 people, so, it is enough, the Ministry of War, can strengthen the training of various provinces, and the Ministry of Industry will also prepare more weapons, and when you go to Shuzhong, you can go north, and the widows will have to see who can fight if they sweep the north!"

"Congratulations to the king, however, a few days ago, the minister had received news from Song Que, and it was said that Song Que and Ning Daoqi were both injured in defeat. ”

"This matter, the widow already knows, the king of Zhennan has returned to Lingnan to recuperate, and he was on my table before. Yang Xuanning sneered: "As for Ning Daoqi, this person announced his retirement, hehe." ”

Just like this, Shi Zhixuan felt a pang in his heart, and he said: "Your Majesty, Li Valve is also reorganizing the army, after Yang Guang was defeated, there are still tens of thousands of elite soldiers left, all of which have been absorbed by Li Valve, and Dugu Feng, Dugu Sheng, Wang Shichong, Xue Shixiong, Pei Renji, and Qin Qiong have all been demoted to Li Valve. ”

"Li valve originally tens of thousands, after the incorporation, there are also 300,000, not to be underestimated, but Guanzhong has experienced many wars, last year, Guanzhong and repeated disasters, locusts and droughts, so although there is a granary, there are also shortages, this February, Li Yuan edict to the people hunger, the cost of the imperial meal halved, in order to show frugality. ”

"On March 2, Jingshi Gu Gui and Li Yuan ordered those who entered the customs from all sides, carts, horses, cattle and donkeys to give rice to their own food. ”

"Well, control our territory, who dares to sell grain in the north, those who are more than 100 catties will be exiled, and those who are more than 1,000 catties will be beheaded and their families will be exiled, however, Guanzhong is 800 miles of Qinchuan, although the food problem is insufficient, but it can still be solved for most of it, but it is not available for a while, and you can't hope too much for food shortage. Yang Xuanning said lightly: "The widow has been able to close the position, and there are 30,000 troops stationed in Hongnong County, and there are 50,000 sailors rampaging the Yellow River, and the 80,000 troops in Luoyang can also go up at any time, no matter how bold Li Valve is, he must also station 50,000 troops in Tongguan, right?"

In the future, the grain production in the Guanzhong area is often less than the demand of Chang'an, which is right, but at that time Chang'an was the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and the cost was completely different from now, and now, it should be maintainable.

"Fifty thousand is usually enough, but as long as the king raises troops slightly, he can at least contain Li Hou's 100,000 army. Shi Zhixuan thought for a while, and said, "There are also garrisons in various places, and Chang'an also needs to garrison troops, from this point of view, Li Valu crusaded against Xue Rengao, this is the first choice, but it also mobilizes up to 100,000 troops, as for the partial division into Shuzhong, after all, there is no power, even if there is Xie Hui and Hu Jiao support, there are only 10,000 troops, so it seems that even if the king of Zhennan retreats to Lingnan, Li Jing should also take Shuzhong before the end of this year, as for Xue Rengao, 100,000 against 100,000, see how much time he can support. "Li Valuru completely won Longxi, not only to avoid worries, covering dozens of counties, but also to get the Longxi horse farm, this is really a big trouble, even if the king wins Shuzhong, it is also a big tail, difficult to solve. Shi Zhixuan said in a condensed voice.

Yang Xuanning listened, nodded in a deep voice and said: "That's right, the Turks sold horses to Li Valve, but only a thousand, and the Longxi Horse Farm is the largest horse farm in the Sui Dynasty, there are tens of thousands, although it has been consumed by Xue Ju's father and son, but it should not be underestimated, once Li Valve uses troops against Xue Rengao, the widow will raise a large army and move to Tongguan, the widow will not avoid swords and arrows, and will not hesitate to use the army, see how Li Valve reacts!"

Speaking of which, my heart turns a thousand times, and the hardships of entrepreneurship are in these words.

From an outsider's point of view, Yang Xuanning is really a god, although he is after Yang Su, but basically, he does not rely on the power of the family, he is self-made, seventeen things are done, nineteen are kings, sweeping the south, manipulating the world, which is amazing and inexplicable.

But in fact, as a modern person, back to ancient times, although you can predict to win, but insight into history, find out the situation in the world, and fight to the death, how can ordinary people understand?

However, he himself, who has gone through great wars and governed thousands of armies and people, is also making rapid progress, and to this day, even if he has no foreknowledge, he has enough ability to control the situation.

For example, this time, although Yang Xuanning has the intention of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and also has the strategic focus of rectifying the whole army and the whole government in the south first, this does not mean that he will do nothing.

If Li Valve's heavy troops defend Tongguan, when they can confront each other, in order to contain half of Li Valve's troops, reduce Li Valve's pressure on Xue Rengao in Longxi, if Li Valve's resolute heavy troops, first solve Xue Rengao in Longxi, and refuse to station a large army in Tongguan, then he will not hesitate to learn from Yang Guang, and then crusade against Guanzhong again, and then use water and water to go up the Yellow River, advance by land and water, and break Tongguan.

Historically, it was once said that "the emperor used soldiers, and there was no one more than Li Shimin"

But this game is a yang strategy, and it depends on how Li Shimin can break it.

As for tactics, he will recall Xu Shiji, Cheng Zhijie and other good generals, and see how Li Shimin can break it with strange tricks.

Thinking of this, the turmoil in his heart gradually calmed down, and his eyes showed a resolute look: "Pei Qing listens to the order." "The minister is here. ”

"Originally, Xu Shiji's 30,000 troops were tired and could rest, and the military department sent 30,000 new troops, so that Xu Shiji could enter Hongnong County and be the general manager of Hongnong. ”

"Summoned Lieutenant Chi Jingde, Cheng Zhijie, and Du Fuwei back to Luoyang to use troops at any time. ”

"The 150,000 troops that our side has already trained will first fill the front line in Luoyang, and other recruits will be trained in the rear. ”

"Ordered the sailors to transport the divisions to the area of the Yellow River and set up camps. ”

These wills immediately completed the layout of the entire territory, and a discerning person knew at a glance that a huge strategic pressure had been created on the entire north---- and hundreds of thousands of people could go north at any time!

Even if Li Shimin can have the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, and can persuade Dou Jiande to deal with Yang Tang together with the meaning of the death of a rabbit and the sorrow of a fox, and the cold of his lips and teeth, with such a huge naval army in the Yellow River, it is difficult for him to threaten Yang Tang's land in the south.

Replacing the new army with Xu Shiji, and sending Shan Xiongxin to be stationed to control Chang Ping, it was a stroke of genius, which not only consolidated the defense line, but also stabilized the internal situation.

Xu Shiji rebelled at the age of seventeen, and during his life, he fought in the south and the north, fought in the east and west, and experienced countless battles in his life.

In the early years in Wagangzhai, he made great contributions to the Wagang army, in the original history, after returning to the Tang Dynasty, Ping Wang Shichong, extinguishing Dou Jiande, cutting Liu Heimin, attacking the Eastern Turks, pacifying Xue Yantuo, all have great merits, it is particularly worth mentioning that Xu Shiji was at an advanced age, commanded the eastern expedition to Goguryeo, after more than two years of bloody battles, Gaozang, the king of Goryeo, surrendered.

You must know that even Li Shimin didn't do this, so before Li Shimin's death, he said: "Ji (Xu Shiji) uses the division to plan, responds to the enemy, moves the opportunity, and the ancient Han Xin Bai Qi Wei Qinghuo goes to illness, and he can't do it!"

With him, in terms of tactics, even if Li Shimin personally recruits, he will not be able to take advantage of it, not to mention that the overall situation is already on his side?

Moreover, there are other intentions, even if Li Valve is a demon and can use Xu Shiji's late master Li Mi to persuade Xu Shiji, but there are 10,000 troops stationed in Changping who do not share the same Dai Tiandi Shan Xiongxin with Li Valve, there is not enough pro-soldier old department, and there is no food, even if Xu Shiji takes refuge in Li Valve, it is just a mantis arm as a car, and he can't turn over the big waves, there is only a dead end.

However, this is just a precautionary measure, Yang Xuanning also believes that Xu Shiji will know the current affairs, after all, he is the best at judging the situation in history and will not act unwisely.
