Chapter 117 Final reminder and warning...

It can be heard that the old guy in front is equivalent to a non-war faction. In other words, in the Sui court, most people opposed such a mobilized army to go to Goguryeo. However, now that their vassal states are coming to ask for help, if you, the Great Sui guy, you will be destroyed. At that time, everyone will see clearly that it is the Great Sui who is the sect leader who is inaction that has led to the demise of its vassal state.

In this way, how do the world view the Great Sui Dynasty? Therefore, it is reasonable for the emperor to send troops now, but it is unreasonable to mobilize troops too much. But the problem is that since the emperor ascended the throne, he has been wise and powerful like a time traveler, pacifying the Southern Chen and expeditioning Tuyuhun in the west. In terms of internal affairs, he built the Eastern Capital and fulfilled the last wish of Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian.

He also ordered the excavation of the Grand Canal so that the specialties and taxes in the south could go up the canal and go straight to Luoyang. It can be said that what this guy did in the past few decades was really shocking, because this guy was so wise and powerful.

It is precisely because he is too wise and powerful, that he has almost nothing wrong with what he does, so the ministers may have been used to what their lords do. Although they will have opinions, they will not object too strongly.

Moreover, before the war started, no one would have thought that the millions of elite soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty would be lost in Goguryeo, and they would go to five or six times. If such an ending was told before it happened, it would only be thrown into the pigpen as a lunatic.

However, the seventh year of Daye has indeed become a turning point, or in other words, the moment when Yang Guang, who had already reached the extreme of pride and had no son, decided to conquer Goguryeo, it became the beginning of the defeat of the Sui Dynasty.

"This is true. It's a pity that the emperor's personal expedition is not a good thing." I nodded, but I still have something to say. "As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Besides, a million troops will definitely go in batches, each with general. If the emperor insists on resigning all the power of marching and fighting, what should he do?"

"This probably won't be true?" Yang Xiong was startled when he heard what I said, frowned and thought hard for a long time, shook his head, and said in a daze.

"But what if the emperor insisted on it?" This young master just put forward an assumption. However, how beautiful the old Yang Xiong is, a relative who has been dealing with Yang Jian, Yang Guang and his son all his life, is still very familiar with Yang Guang's temper and style now. Therefore, this old guy is not sure whether Yang Guang will be nervous about doing this.

"Wuji is also a general. He likes to read military books. Since he heard that the emperor wanted to fight north, he often read military books and inquire about the northern border. He heard that although the territory of Goguryeo is not as good as that of the Great Sui Dynasty, the road is difficult and dangerous, with mountains and a million troops. Even if they advance all the way, there are always great rivers to block the capital of Goguryeo. I am afraid that it has entered the late autumn and early winter. The bitter and coldness of Goguryeo is better than that of our Great Sui Dynasty. If the weather is cold and the earth is frozen, how can the soldiers keep the cold?..."

According to records passed down in history, although the ancients did not know about Yang Guang's mistakes in the northern expedition of Goguryeo, I, a person who came from the future and was familiar with history, was very clear about it, so I placed one by one in front of Yang Xiong, and the old guy couldn't help but be surprised.

"... Isn't it optimistic that this Northern Expedition will be successful?" It seems that Yang Xiong is the kind of person who is very reasonable. At least, after this young master pointed out so many shortcomings or hypotheses, the old guy not only did not become angry, but instead asked me seriously with a look of shock.

"If the emperor only sent one general to him, even if he could not destroy his country, with the power of the Great Sui Dynasty and the advantage of the military, Goguryeo would definitely surrender to me. The emperor insisted on leading a million troops to conquer the people, which consumed countless people's efforts... With the emperor here, there would be a lot of variables." I knew very well that Yang Guang would never listen to people's advice and not go to the expedition personally, after all, the millions of troops had already been launched.

What he, as an emperor, is face, so he naturally cannot retreat temporarily. However, with him, it means that the war in the northern expedition of Goguryeo in the Sui Dynasty would slide down to the abyss of history.

"Originally, I thought that the emperor personally fought for the army and a million troops invaded Goguryeo in the north was just a matter of being captured. I didn't expect that after hearing what my nephew said, it seemed that there were loopholes everywhere." Yang Xiong stroked his long beard, and his eyes flashed. "It seems that my nephew is indeed a talented person."

"My uncle praised Wuji, who is just a young man. When it comes to the uprising, he is not an opponent of a famous general like his uncle. I just hope that Wuji's worries are just a blind worry." I laughed dryly and bowed to the old man as a courtesy.

"I have been in the military for decades and have been an official for half a year. I have been confident that I have never missed anyone. My nephew, don't be humble. What you said just now has touched me. I hope that this northern expedition will not be any more omissions."

After eating, bragging, letting go, and doing what I deserve, I did everything. Now, Master Yang is sending me out of the Guande Palace, turning over and jumping onto the horse, turning back, and looking at the handsome and handsome man, who treats me sincerely like his father.

I couldn't help but feel aroused in my heart, and I bowed deeply to Master Yang who smiled and said goodbye to me. "Wuji still has one sentence today, I hope my brother will take it to your father. The Goguryeo General Yizhi Wende is a cruel person, which is very reasonable. If my Sui army can advance to the capital of Goguryeo, please be careful."

"Why are you careful?" Yang Shidao looked stunned.

"Be careful if this person sees the country's situation, he will definitely use poisoning plans, such as building a dam to store rivers to block the enemy. If he does not investigate, the millions of elite soldiers of the Sui Dynasty will be in danger... Watch King De listen to your words, be careful and say goodbye!" After saying this, the young master breathed a long sigh and galloped away.

I really don't know how to explain these words in front of Yang Xiong, but now I don't need to explain them. Anyway, I run away after I finish speaking. Even if the old guy wants to come to find me, I will avoid it. The most important thing is that as long as it can attract the attention of King Guande Yang Xiong. In history, it was this Yizhi Wende built a dam upstream of the Qingchuan River to store water. When the Sui army wades and crosses the river, Yizhi Wende ordered the gate to be opened and released.

Nearly 300,000 troops fell into the dilemma of having strong enemies in front and no retreat behind. According to historical records, only 2,700 soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty who had crossed the Qingchuan River eventually returned, so how sad...

When I arrived at the intersection of the street, when I turned around, I looked back and saw that Yang Shidao still stood blankly at the door of the mansion in a daze. It seemed that the words of my young master just left a deep impression on him, so it was better.

——————————————

The next morning, a slave from the Guande Palace came to invite me to come and tell me about it. My uncle's doorman had already received my instructions and insisted that I had gone out for a few days. As for where I went, he definitely didn't know. At least when I would come back, I would have to wait at least three or five days later.

The third day, the day before the emperor left Chang'an, the slaves from the Guande Palace came to the door again, but this time, instead of inviting me to pass by the mansion, he sent a generous gift and also handed over a letter to the Guande King Yang Xiong.

"That's what he meant to congratulate me on the gift?" When I heard Li Yuanfang's report, I was staring at the two boxes of gifts and my eyes were shining. There were fifty pieces of silk and satin alone. Next to it, there were an inkstone, a box of black anchors, and nine top-quality top-notch brushes. In addition, the old guy also gave me two hundred staples.
