Zhu Changxiao's version of the Sui Dynasty

Xiao Yan inquired and learned the truth, turned the horse's head, and returned to the queen before returning to the jade chariot. When Xiao Jun heard this, he was suddenly surprised, it turned out that the expedition was imminent, the soldiers were brave and tired of war, and the army's morale was weak. Xiao Jun lifted the curtain and looked at the arrest of deserters, but he couldn't do anything.

The mouth of the Great Wall is still standing on the edge of the plug, the men and horses of the front team have stopped, and behind them are the deserters who have been escorted over, in

the cold wind of the attack, these deserters are embarrassed and desperate, depressed, and in groups, they are escorted to the mouth of the Great Wall.

Flags were unfurled, gold helmets and silver armor reflected the cold light, and a huge point platform was built in front of the empty mouth of the Great Wall. Hundreds of thousands of Sui troops lined up on standby, and compared with the past, the front of the army was a little more ruthless and a little less majestic.

Under the stage, the generals Qu Tutong, Qu Tugai, Xue Shixiong, Duan Da, Feng Xiaoci, Zhao Cai, Murong Yao and other generals divided their troops into formations, and there were southern soldiers and horses led by Chen Ling and Zhang Zhenzhou who had just been transferred to the edge of the team.

Su Wei, Yu Wenshu, Pei Yun, and Yu Shiji took the lead in ascending the point general platform and waiting on the high platform.

Looking at the soldiers of the three armies,

Emperor Yang of Sui asked: "In the past, I paraded the three armies on the beacon tower, and the millions of heroes were unobstructed. Why is it that a point is built today, how can it be more spectacular than a beacon?"

Su Wei, Pei Yun, and Yu Shiji are all civil officials, and they squinted at Yu Wenshu, Yu Wenshu, the consul general of the army, his face was anxious, and he played in a low voice: "Your Majesty, in previous years, there were millions of troops, and the wind was thousands of miles." In this Eastern Crusade, there were countless deserters, and there were only 400,000 soldiers who could go to the East. "

When Emperor Yang of Sui heard this, Long Yan was furious and rebuked: "Hmph! Military orders are like mountains, and military law is ruthless, how can we tolerate deserters and blaspheme the authority of the Emperor of the Heavenly Empire?

Seeing that Emperor Yang of Sui was ruthless, Yuwenshu couldn't help but tremble in his heart, no one dared to say much, and immediately passed down the will and beheaded the deserters.

Although the military law is strict, there are a large number of people, which makes Yu Wenshu feel sad, feel that the killing is too much, and he also wants to intercede. Looking at Emperor Yang of Sui in a blink of an eye, Emperor Yang of Sui's face was stiff and fierce, which made Yu Wenshu, who had always seen Emperor Yang of Sui's face and do things, swallowed back the words that were ready to his mouth, and did not dare to say more, so he had to give an order and behead the deserter.

After a short time, the brigade of deserters

was escorted to the point general's stage, Yuwen Shu saw that there were many deserters, but he still couldn't bear it, and he came to Emperor Yang of Sui in a trembling manner, and asked: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, if you want to kill ten people who take the lead in escaping first, so as to kill one hundred people." "

"All of them are decapitated, not one is left!".

The order was passed down, and in a moment the head fell, the blood flowed profusely, and the four sides were terrified, but no one dared to speak. Emperor Yang of Sui looked at the generals on the left and right, his eyes were fierce, his face was sly, and he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, if such deserters are not severely punished, where is the prestige of the monarch?"

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty looked around, and no one dared to speak out of the civil and military generals on the left and right, and said: "Today, I want to use the blood of the cranial cavity of the deserter to dye the drum and be majestic, and strictly enforce the law and discipline!"

Yuwenshu, who was standing on the side, saw Yang Guang's eyes signaling, and hurriedly ordered someone to stain the cranial plasma of the deserter, smear it on the war drum, and then ordered the drum to send troops. The blood-stained war drums, the bloody wind floating, and it is suffocating. The 400,000 soldiers were sincerely afraid, and the army went out to fight, and Emperor Yang of Sui turned his anger into joy and sent a decree to march.

Emperor Yang of Sui boarded the imperial horse and led the forbidden army to set off, Su Wei, Yu Wenshu, Pei Yun, and Yu Shiji were also preparing to accompany them, but seeing that Empress Xiao was standing aside and not leaving, the old minister Su Wei walked closer, bowed down and asked: "The emperor is driving in person, Niang Niang Chitose should go back to the palace to rest earlier." "

Empress Xiao glanced at Su Wei, then at Yu Wenshu, Pei Yun, and Yu Shiji, and asked: "The four Aiqing are all auxiliary ministers, and the emperor kills people and smears blood, which is miserable, why don't you admonish?"

Su Wei has always been cautious, and when he saw the queen's blame, he had to say: "Deserters have violated military law, and the emperor acts in accordance with the law, which can be regarded as excusable." "

Yu Wenshu also echoed: "Although the punishment is too cruel, if this battle is won, it may be twice the result with half the effort, which is not yet known." "

When Empress Xiao heard Yuwen's words, she couldn't help but be angry, and reprimanded: "Counting on cannibalism, can you get twice the result with half the effort?

Empress Xiao saw that several ministers did not dare to speak out, so she had to leave angrily. Chen Guiren helped Empress Xiao to get on the phoenix, and Xiao Ji comforted her on the side: "The imperial aunt is angry, you don't have to be angry with a few courtiers." "

"In the long run, you will be mistaken about Sheji!" Empress Xiao entered Fengyan and went to Liaodong to watch the battle with the team. That's it:

The

mouth of the Great Wall is divided into heads, and the hearts of the scattered soldiers have not been heard.

Blood encourages soldiers to work in vain, and the Liao River is in vain.

Although the soldiers and horses were sharply reduced to 400,000 in the three expeditions to Goguryeo, Goguryeo resisted the Sui army for three consecutive years, and the national strength was already barren, and the people's livelihood was difficult, so it really could not afford to consume. Only last year and the year before last, the bones and remains left behind by the battle between the Sui soldiers and the Goryeo soldiers stretched for dozens of miles, and the bones were still exposed, and the corpses were stinking. On both sides of the Sashui River, the hometown of Lelang, it has long been inaccessible and uninhabited.

The news of the 400,000 Sui troops rushing forward reached Liujing, the capital of Goguryeo, and King Gao Yuan received an urgent report, his palms were sweating, his whole body trembled, and he summoned hundreds of officials.

The pouring rain drenched the Goryeo Palace, the dark clouds covered the blue sky, and above the dim hall, the hundred officials were silent one by one. After years of war, Goguryeo was also poor and in crisis. The general Gao Jianwu saw that the officials were helpless, and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, although Yang Guang led the army to be menacing, but now it is pouring rain, and it is muddy and difficult to walk along the way. "

Gao Yuan nodded: "What the general said is extremely true, how should I resist it?"

Gao Jianwu then said: "The success or failure of this battle is all in the Sui army's naval division, and I expect that the Sui will lead the army to cross the sea in the future." It's better to see how the navy is fighting before making a decision. "

Gao Yuan said: "It's good to say if you defeat Laihu'er, but if you can't beat Laihu'er, what should you do?"

"The minister has a plan. I saw Prime Minister Yizhi Wende, full of self-confidence, and said to Gao Yuanyan: "Last year, Yang Xuangan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the Great Sui, rebelled, and one of the leaders of the rebellion, Hu Sizheng, was defeated and fled, and defected to my Goguryeo. If he is defeated, he will be called a tribute, return to Lelang County, sacrifice Hu Sizheng, and exchange the traitor's head for the peace of Goguryeo. "

"Good. Gao Yuan was overjoyed and said: "According to the words of the two ministers, if you can win to protect your son, you will decide again, and if you are defeated, you will sacrifice Hu Sizheng." One soft and one hard, deal with Yang Guang. He ordered the general Yin Jing to send troops to Montenegro to resist the sailors who came to protect the children. That's it:

Since ancient times, there have been no standards for diplomatic relations, and they are all based on means and not morality.

used both soft and hard to bluff Sui Yang, exhausting the Celestial Empire to the end of the country.

The king of Goguryeo bet all his success or failure on the Great Sui Water Division, and at this time, the Laihu's Nursery Department in Qingzhou Mansion was stationed in Qi County to rest, and for a time several rebel armies in Qingzhou fled north.

Since Zhou Fashang repelled the rebels and was hit by a dart in his chest, he didn't expect that this bird's beak dart in his sleeve was actually a poisonous dart, which did not heal for a long time, but became more and more serious.

It was also difficult for Laihu'er, Zhang Xutuo, Cui Junsu and others to sit on the edge of the bed. Lai Hu'er said: "The general's dart injury is difficult to recover, and I want to stay in Qi County for a few days, but I have to get the emperor's urgent edict, and the decree will rush to Donglai immediately." "

"If you don't go east to Goguryeo, what is the matter with going to Donglai?" asked Zhang Xutuo.

"Alas, don't hide it from the general, Your Majesty is going to conquer Goguryeo three times. "

"Ah?" Zhou Fashang was taken aback, and asked again: "The two expeditions to Goguryeo, the voices are full of sorrows, the people's grievances are boiling, and seeing that the thieves have subsided, why do you want to go east?"

Lai Hu'er clenched his fists with both hands, his eyebrows were not spread, and he said helplessly: "The emperor pacified Liaodong, his heart was like a rock, and no one dared to admonish the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty." The emperor's heart is higher than the sky, his ambition is thousands of miles, and his eyes are empty, but the people are ignorant of the calamity. "

Zhou Fashang leaned on the head of the bed and nodded, realizing that Laihu'er was uneasy, so he comforted: "Since the edict has arrived, Rong Guogong must not delay." The last general will immediately set off and follow the expedition to the east. "

"Wait, the general's poisonous dart hurts his body, so it's better to heal his injuries. "

Zhou Fashang waved his hand and said: "What the Guogong said is wrong, the eldest husband is alive, although he is not for fame and fortune, but he should not do nothing, when he dies on the battlefield and returns with a horse leather shroud, how can he be greedy for life here, stand by and watch, I will definitely go on the expedition." "

"But ......."

Zhou Fashang said: "The title of official and knight is not what I love." I just heard that north of Sashui in Goguryeo is the hometown of Lelang County of our dynasty, and the last general only wants to recover his homeland for the Great Sui and not make a trip to Lelang County in vain. "

Lai Hu'er and

Zhang Xutuo looked at each other, Lai Hu'er's eyes were red, he held Zhou Fashang's hand, and said with emotion: "Fa Shang's ambition is lofty, if he can recover the homeland of Lelang County this time, he will be able to shine in the annals of history and cover a thousand years!"

Zhang Xutuo and others also praised Zhou Fashang, and for a while, Zhou Fashang also forgot the pain of the dart wound, and was full of ambition, preparing to accompany the army to the east and cross the sea to crusade against Goguryeo.

In order to prevent the Qingzhou rebel army from coming back, Rongguo Gong came to protect the child, leaving 3,000 elite cavalry to help Zhang Xutuo pursue the rebel army. He turned his horse's head and rushed to Dongrae, preparing to cross the sea and conquer Goguryeo three times.

However, on the

third day, they arrived at Donglai, and the warships used for the first two crossings of the sea were still docked on the shore. Lai Hu'er led the troops from the East China Sea, and the army boarded the ship, only to see the chief of staff Shi Cui Junsu approaching and said: "Rong Guogong, it's not good." "

"What's wrong?".

"General Zhou's illness has worsened, and I am afraid that he will not be able to board the ship. "

"Ahh "

After three days of marching, Zhou Fashang, who had not recovered from his injuries, was sick and lying in the camp, his body had completely collapsed, and he was already dying. Laihu'er and Cui Junsu came to the tent, sat aside, and Laihu'er comforted: "General Zhou has moved to the Quartet, the old injuries have not healed, and he has contracted a new disease, so he will stay in Donglai for the time being." "

Zhou Fashang said softly: "The end will come to the sea again, and if you can't pull out, you won't wait for me, and you will pass away." If your determination fails, what can you do?".

Coming to Hu'er to take a closer look, Zhou Fashang's face became more and more gloomy this time, and he suddenly felt that it was a little difficult to last long. Laihu'er shouted to the medical officers on both sides, "What's the use of raising your bunch of rice buckets?".

Several medical officers also frowned, knelt on the ground, and one of them boldly replied: "I am tired from the march for several days, poisonous gas has invaded, my body has been injured, and there is no medicine to treat, please Rong Guogong to punish the crime." "

Lai Hu'er sighed, shook his head at several medical officers, and only heard Zhou Fashang say: "It's the end that you don't fight for yourself, and the prince of the country doesn't blame them." "

Laihu'er bowed down, held Zhou Fashang's hands and asked, "What is the general's entrustment, although it is said, Laihu'er will definitely do it." "

"After I die, the monument will remain in the Central Plains, and the

sea will be buried in Liaodong, even if I can't be on the battlefield, I must guard the frontier and sleep in the waves. Zhou Fashang said, came to Hu'er nodded in agreement, Zhou Fashang smiled slightly, regretfully died, at the age of fifty-nine.

A day later, Lai Hu'er led his troops out to sea from Dongrae and went straight to the ferry port of Goguryeo Montenegro. Along the sea route, the army cleaved the waves, marched at great speed, and soon reached Goguryeo near the sea.

Looking at the shore from afar, Laihu'er came to the bow of the ship with a sword in his hand, and asked, "Where is Wu'er?"

"Come here. "

"Order the three armies to wear filial piety, sink Zhou Fashang's body into the sea, and pay tribute to the heroic soul."

"Obey the order!" to immediately

send an order, the coffin of Zhou Fashang was sunk into the Liaodong Sea, and the naval warships were lined up, hanging white and wearing filial piety, and paying tribute to the souls of the dead. It's really true:

Shandong drinks and hates Liaodong, and fate has no sympathy. Ambition sleeps elusively, loyalty and generosity into the ocean.

The long clouds and white wind urge the sun, and the vast sea Bodan reflects red. Through the ages, the heroes of the Sui and Tang dynasties were not in vain.
