Chapter 58 Why doesn’t the general fight?
This night, everyone bought a little bit of the national debt. People like Baoguo Gong Yu Wenshu directly bought 4,000 taels, and Lu Ben also bought 3,000 taels. These two were extremely rich, and they followed Yang.
Guang has made money and tasted the benefits, how could he not follow suit?
Yuwenshu's carpentry workshop made money, and Lu Bi's glass workshop made money. In addition, they deceived the nobles of the Chen Dynasty and made a huge fortune, and invested a large part of it in national debt.
As long as the ministers here thought that the Sui Dynasty would be able to develop stably for at least three years, they were willing to invest some money. Even if they had doubts in their hearts, they had to go with the investment.
I earned 65,600 taels of gold this night.
All of a sudden, the funds currently needed by Daxing City are fully secured.
It is most effective to cut high-end leeks.
After a night of fun, after coming out of the palace, three or five ministers went to the restaurant together for the second half. After all, this is also traditional culture. After the big meeting, there will be a small meeting, a big head drinking and a small head vomiting.
Yu Wenshu originally asked Yu Wenhua to arrange for Yang Guang, but Yang Guang refused.
The atmosphere of the court meeting the next day was different from the dinner party the day before, and it was much more serious.
Because today I want to discuss another not-so-good thing in the border auspicious news.
The border report stated that the Youzhou Army and Wei Wang Yang Shuang joined forces to retake Yuguan, but it also stated that the two men did not garrison at Yuguan, but withdrew their troops back to Youzhou City. The emperor understood this behavior, but there were still ministers
Not sure why.
Early this morning, some ministers asked about this.
"Your Majesty, General Yin Shou led his army to attack Yuguan. King Wei has already captured the entire city, but for some reason General Yin Shou ordered the troops to withdraw to Youzhou and not to Yuguan City. According to the Di newspaper, it seems that General Yin Shou listened.
I made an unknown child’s suggestion, which is quite ridiculous. I also ask your Majesty to issue an order to punish him, so that General Yin Shou will not take credit for his pride."
It is also an old tradition for military generals to fight outside, while civil servants are worried inside. Having heavy troops in hand is a hidden danger of insecurity.
All the happenings will be written in the Di newspaper. In many cases, the emperor will send eunuchs to supervise the army for this reason, so that he can better understand the overall situation. If he does not arrange his own people there, in case the army rebels, the Di newspaper will be sent back.
There is peace in return, and you won’t know until you reach the bottom of the city.
Yang Guang understood that this unknown child was obviously Li Jing.
At this time, someone in the court also spoke for General Yin Shou: "The Di newspaper stated clearly that Gao Baoning and others looted all the property in Yuguan City when they retreated, and the damaged walls of Yuguan City will be difficult to repair in a short time. If the Turks rectify
If we come back, our army will face a head-on battle with the Turks without a city wall to rely on, which violates the strategic policy formulated by His Majesty from the beginning."
"Abandoned the city and fled, easily handing over Yuguan City to the Turks and Gao Baoning. Although many Turkic soldiers were killed in this battle, it did not damage their roots. If the other side takes Yuguan City again, when will our army
How can we comfort the fallen soldiers when we can retake our homeland?"
"The people in Yuguan City have all evacuated to Youzhou. Yuguan is just an empty city with a damaged wall. There is no danger to rely on and no people. The temporary abandonment means that the Turks do not have the strength to capture our army in Youzhou City. Before
The battles are enough to prove that Captain Changsun’s words are correct. As long as our army fights based on the city and does not rush forward greedily for merit, the Turks and us will not be able to fight a war of attrition."
"Now that the Turks have been driven back, it would be better to give them gifts as a show of goodwill to prevent them from coming again. The long-term war will also consume a lot of money in our Sui Dynasty. The Chen Dynasty in the south is already watching with eager eyes. There are reports that the Queen Mother of the Chen Dynasty is furious for no reason.
, to attack our dynasty, Chen Dynasty general Xiao Mohe is preparing for the Northern Expedition to the Sui Dynasty."
After a quarrel, Yang Jian looked at Han Qinhu: "General Han, is this the case for Chen Chao Xiao Mohe?"
Han Qinhu reported truthfully: "The Empress Dowager of the Chen Dynasty seems to be furious because of a mirror. It is said that it was a tribute from our Sui Dynasty or something. Your Majesty also issued an announcement that the Empress Dowager of the Chen Dynasty bought a mirror with thousands of gold, but there are a lot of them on the market.
The same mirror is of low value. Chen Chaotai traced it and felt that I was playing tricks on her and became furious. Xiao Mohe took this opportunity to report that he would lead troops to the Northern Expedition. Now some people in the Chen Dynasty wanted to take advantage of the Sui Dynasty to resist the Turkic Northern Expedition, but more people
My opinion is to hold the troops still, and I have already deployed heavy troops to defend the area close to Jiankang."
Yang Guang nodded with satisfaction, and couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart. Yang Guang's previous strategy of disgusting the Chen Dynasty did work to a certain extent. The bad news was that he angered the Queen Mother of the Chen Dynasty, and the good news was that it also angered the seriously ill Emperor Chen Wen.
p>
This prodigal woman spent thousands of gold to buy a mirror. She thought it was a luxury item and so she tolerated it. However, she didn't expect it to be a commodity from a street stall. A man was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.
I don’t know if this anger will cause me to die.
"Your Majesty, if the Southern Dynasty takes this opportunity to attack, I will be attacked from the north and south, so I have to guard against it!"
Yang Jian asked at this time: "General Han, if the Southern Dynasty attacks, can our army stop it?"
Han Qinhu didn't dare to guarantee it, after all, he didn't have enough troops.
"Our army is heavily deployed in the north of Jiankang. The deployment of troops in the south cannot divert the troops defending Jiankang. Otherwise, Jiankang will be empty. The other place with heavy troops is north of Jiangling and the border with Xiliang. Apart from this
In two places, the Yangtze River is naturally dangerous between the north and the south. In the south, Chen Ying cannot suppress the territory with a large army. I will lead troops to the north of Jiankang and Jiangling. Please contact the Xiao family of Xiliang."
Xi Liang is sandwiched between the Southern and Northern Dynasties. When it was prosperous, the Xiao family was the master of the Southern Dynasty. Now there is only a small area in Jiangling, barely making a living between the Sui and Chen Dynasties.
Yang Jian understood what Han Qinhu meant. As long as these two places were guarded, the Chen Dynasty would not be able to cross the Yangtze River even if it wanted to attack. For Sui and Chen, the natural danger of the Yangtze River was the dividing line between north and south.
Yang Jian glanced at Yang Guang, and then said to the ministers: "As for Nanchen, the current military strength should be able to resist it. General Han Qinhu is fully prepared for war."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, General Yin Shou abandoned the city privately. Although this battle looked like a great victory, the actual number of enemies killed and the resources captured were limited. Why did our general not fight because he had the advantage? Not punishing him is not enough to make the people angry!"
Yang Jian raised his eyebrows slightly, and at this time the prince Yang Yong came out: "Father, my son and I read the newspaper, King Wei did not agree to withdraw the troops, but because General Yin Shou was the commander, he had no choice but to withdraw. Now
King Zhanwei has made great achievements and asks his father to reward him."
Firstly, there are ministers who want to punish General Yin Shou, and secondly, there are princes who want to ask for rewards for King Wei. There are reasons. However, it is obvious that Yang Yong wants to take advantage of this great achievement and let Yang Jian take advantage of it to promote King Wei Yang Shuang to the top. It is best to
General Manager Youzhou.
Wei Wang Yang Shuang is a member of the Yang family clan. Yang Jian's youngest brother is of course not the same mother. He is very different in age. When he was young, he was raised by Yang Jian and his wife who were not his parents. Dugu Jialuo took care of him.
Yang Shuang and Yang Yong are not much different in age, and their relationship is much better than that of brothers.
The prince's party wants to take advantage of the situation to gain military power in an important border area.
Yang Jian's hand gently stroked the dragon chair and said slowly: "King Wei has made great contributions, and he has been granted the title of General Manager of Bingzhou and promoted to Shangzhu Kingdom. When the situation in Youzhou eases, he will go to Bingzhou to supervise border affairs."
I was promoted, but not to the general manager of Youzhou, but to the general manager of Bingzhou to the west.
"Yin Shou led the army to fight against the enemy, and he made a real contribution to the throne."
