Zhu Changxiao's version of the Sui Dynasty

To make a long story short, Gao Jiong's secret music was quickly transmitted to the capital. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was having dinner with Queen Dugu. The eunuch Wang Wentong entered the inner hall in a panic and said,"Your Majesty, the secret music of the Huainan camp."

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty immediately put down the bowl in his hand. Chopsticks, open the secret music and take a closer look. Queen Dugu, who was sitting aside, saw that Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was getting more and more angry, so she asked:"Have the war started yet? Your Majesty's face is so solemn."?"

"The King of Jin greatly disappointed my expectations. When he first arrived in Huainan, he drank alcohol and hurt his health. He was ill for several days. Gao Jiong requested an order to change the commander before the battle."

"Who should Gao Jiong choose as his commander?"

"Gao Jiong's suggestion was to replace the prince Yang Yong."

Queen Dugu liked Jin Wang Yang Guang more from the bottom of her heart, and she naturally favored Yang Guang when she spoke:"We can't just listen to Gao Qiao's words on this matter. I think it's better to send someone to investigate and find out the truth. Emperor

Wen of the Sui Dynasty frowned and said,"Is there anyone who can choose the queen?" Empress

Dugu pointed at Wang Wentong and said,"It's just the right time for the prince to go. Who dares to despise the emperor's most trusted servant?""

"Um. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty said:"Wang Wentong, I will order you to go to Huainan to supervise the Jin Dynasty."Yang Guang, if the King of Jin really drinks and causes trouble, you must report the truth truthfully."

"The slave obeys the order."

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty waved his hand with a bit of displeasure in his eyes. Wang Wentong got the order and immediately got up and went to the Huainan camp.

……

The eunuch Wang Wentong rushed to Huainan. The journey was bumpy and he didn't say much. At this time, Yang Su, the Duke of Qinghe, also received a military order to urge the war. Yang Su built warships and trained naval forces in Badong County, which lasted more than a year.

On this day, I received the military order to dispatch troops to the Huainan camp. I asked the deputy general Li Yuantong to follow me and went to each camp to check the preparations.

When we walked to the navy camp, it was dinner time, and we saw all the soldiers bringing piles of sawdust to light and making fire for cooking. Lieutenant General Li Yuan said:"After this meal, the army is about to set off and go straight to the enemy."

Yang Su looked coldly and asked thoughtfully:"Are the sawdust used by the soldiers left over from building warships?"

Li Yuan said:"The amount of wood chips left is huge and easy to light. It saves the trouble of collecting firewood.""

"No, order the three armies to continue burning firewood from tomorrow and store the sawdust."

"What is the use of the sawdust left by the general manager? The remaining sawdust piles up like a mountain and has no other use except to make fire. Yang

Su stroked his beard and thought with a smile:"General Yuantong can dump the sawdust into the river as much as possible, and he must choose a place with fast currents to dump it. I order you to dump it three times a day, and you must dump it within a month." net."

After Yang Su finished speaking, he laughed loudly, stroking his horned beard and left alone. Li Yuantong pondered for a long time and did not understand the reason, so he had to do it.

All the sawdust left from building the warship was poured into the rapid waters of the river, and was instantly destroyed. The river rushed to the east of the river and flowed down the river. Sure enough, within a month, all the sawdust was dumped into the river. Li Yuantong reported to the Chinese army camp and said:"All the sawdust has been dumped into the river. The war has been delayed again and again. Dare we Ask Qinghe Gong, when will the troops be sent?"

Yang Su was overjoyed and said:"No need to ask again. Send my general's order to the three armies to break camp and immediately take ships to the east. Li

Yuantong bowed and asked:"General, there is something I still don't know. I hope the manager can give me some advice.""

"General, feel free to ask"

"May I ask the manager, why do you need to dump the sawdust first?

Yang Su said:"During the Western Jin Dynasty, Wang Jun built ships to attack Wu and used this strategy." The wood chips flowed eastward along the Yangtze River. When Chen Guo discovered it, he knew that our army was building warships in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. If this happened every day, he would be panicked and frightened, and he would try his best to stop our army from advancing eastward. No one would rush to help Jiankang."

"The general manager is really smart, and the general will admire him very much."

Yang Su and Li Yuantong sailed a hundred five-tooth warships and other warships, set off on the road, and set sail. Yang Su's 50,000-strong naval force came down the river and garrisoned at Hutou Beach, and joined forces with the 60,000-strong navy commander Liu Ren'en of Jingzhou. The generals met.

Liu Ren'en, the general manager of Jingzhou who had been stationed on the north bank of the Jingjiang River, successfully met up with the Badong Navy of Qinghe Gong Yang Su. Together they came to the outpost of the Hutoutan camp and looked into the distance to spy on Chen Bing's military situation.

From Hutou Not far from the beach is Chen Bing's outpost camp, Langwei Beach. Liu Ren'en pointed to the Langwei Beach in the distance and said:"Chen Huiji, the general of Chen State, learned that the Sui navy had arrived at Hutou Beach, and ordered General Qi Xin to lead the Qinglong Battle. More than a hundred ships and thousands of warriors guarded the Langwei Beach ahead."

Li Yuan said:"What's the difficulty? The general is willing to lead a navy to seize Langwei Beach first!"

"What General Li didn't know was that Chen Bing relied on the steep terrain of Langwei Beach and the rapid water flow. It was easy to defend but difficult to attack if he relied on the situation to defend."

Yang Suyuan looked at Langwei Beach, thinking deeply in his heart, and hesitated to say anything. Liu Ren'en said again:"In my opinion, Chen Bing camped on the beach and wanted to fight on the water. However, most of our officers and soldiers were from the north, so I was afraid that there would be no advantage in fighting on the water.."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Su said with confidence:"I have a plan and I will definitely defeat the enemy."

"Appreciate further details. Liu Ren'en said

"The beach current is bumpy, making it difficult to maintain the formation of warships, which is detrimental to water warfare. It would be better for me to lead a warship to lure the enemy at night, and Manager Liu would land in a small boat, sneak attack on the beach, force a land battle, and attack separately."Yang Su said.

Liu Ren'en and Li Yuantong looked at each other and thought that the plan would work, and each agreed. The three discussed it and decided to follow the plan and attack Langwei Beach at night. At night,

Yang Su commanded forty ships. The big ship was frequently near Langwei Beach. The torches on the ship were brightly lit. From a distance, it looked like a night battle with lights on. Chen Jun's outpost was seen from a distance. Guard Qi Xin immediately ordered the three armies to board the ship to fight. As soon as Yang Su saw Chen Jun going out to fight, he immediately ordered , gongs and drums made loud noises, only bows and crossbows were fired, and no one was allowed to get close. Suddenly, on the river, gongs and drums were blaring together, shouting to kill the sky, but both sides were shooting at each other with bows and crossbows, but they did not get close to fight.

On the river, Li Yuantong fired at each other in the air. He had led a group of soldiers and horses to sneak across in a light boat and carried the grass in. Chen Jun did not notice it. After quietly landing, Li Yuantong said:"There is a fire ahead, which is Chen's camp."With an order, three thousand infantrymen brandished their swords and robbed the camp.

The Chen soldiers' camp heard shouts of killing, but could not see the traces. When they saw the Sui soldiers landing and robbed the camp, they were already frightened to death. The camp was empty. In a moment, the Sui army overturned the brazier in the camp and ignited the camp, causing the Langwei Beach to burst into flames. Chen soldiers were frightened and fled in all directions.

Qi Xin was still on the river shooting at random with Yang Su from a distance. Looking back at Langwei Beach, he felt in his heart Shocked, magic soldiers descended from nowhere, robbed the camp, and hurriedly turned around and fled.

At this time, they saw a huge five-tooth warship led by Liu Renen, crossing the river and ramming towards it. Chen Jun's fleet was in chaos at this time. , there were many ships that were overturned, Qi Xin could not care about many, and escaped through the cracks. It can be said that he attacked Langwei Beach by land and water, and the fire burned the camp fence. Arrows and feathers fell like flying flowers, and the golden drum seemed to be struck by thunder and snow.

The flames of the Xiikou Ferry burned brightly, and the sound of killing broke through the northern peaks. If it hadn't been a hundred years before Chibi, Zhou Lang would have been invited to sit and watch.

He also said:

The battle started with the attack on Chen's strategy flag, and Yang Su attacked and burned Langwei Beach.

He advanced and divided his troops to compare with Zhuge, and it was strange. The strategy was as clever as Xie An's.

He defeated Chen and won the first battle. The victory report was sent to the Huainan camp. At this time, Yang Guang's diarrhea had recovered. Yu Wenshu hurried over with the report. Yang Guang was sitting by the bed and looking at the victory report. Xiao Jun asked from the side:"How is Yang Su's battle situation?"

Yu Wenshu said:"Victory in the first battle."

"It is best to win. If there is a defeat, Gao Jiong will take advantage of it and ask for an order to change the commander."Xiao Jun said.

Yang Guang said:"If it weren't for my beloved concubine's skillful argument with Gao Jun, this king would have been framed by this old man."

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps, and Zhang Heng hurriedly came to the camp,"Your Highness, the palace envoy from the capital has arrived."

"oh? Yang Guang said:"Before the good news was delivered to the capital, my father's messenger came first. Who came?""

"Wang Wentong, the general manager of the department.

Yu Wenshu said:"Could it be that Gao Jiong has secretly informed the Emperor of His Highness's condition?" Yang

Guang clasped his hands behind his back, with some concern on his face:"Gao Jiong and the prince are of the same party, and they want to oust me from the position of commander. It seems that he can't wait any longer."

Zhang Heng said:"Wang Wentong is here. Not only should he treat you with courtesy, but you should also use his mouth to report good news and not bad news." Yang

Guang nodded, convinced, and said:"My stomach and intestines have recovered, and I will prepare a banquet immediately. I must be calm and entertain Mr. Wang.""

Zhuge Ying said:"I have come up with a plan to make Wang Wentong only happy but not worried.""

"Mr. Zhuge, please tell me.

Zhuge Ying told Yu Wen:"General, take your good news and wait in the wing to listen to my arrangements. Wang Wenzheng will be surprised at that time.""

Yang Guang felt relieved when he saw Zhuge Ying's confidence, so he took Xiao Jun to the gate of the camp to greet the imperial envoys. After waiting for a while, the imperial chariot slowly came to the palace, the curtains of the carriage were opened, and Wang Wentong, the internal manager, came out, and Yang Guang and Xiao Jun walked up quickly and stretched out their hands to help:"My lord, you have worked hard all the way, and you are not welcome at all. Wang

Wentong stepped down from the carriage and said politely:"How dare you trouble Your Highness? This old slave is really flattered.""

"Father-in-law, you don't have to be polite. I have already organized a banquet at the camp. Today, the king personally welcomes my father-in-law. Wang

Wentong asked dubiously:"I heard that Your Highness has been weak recently and it is difficult for him to drink.""

Yang Guang laughed, thinking to himself that fortunately Huainan was far away from Guanzhong, and he had time to recuperate. He couldn't help but said happily:"There are many people spying on my position as commander-in-chief."

Wang Wentong looked at Yang Guang and his face looked good. He didn't look like a seriously ill person, so he didn't raise any suspicion:"You're welcome, old slave."

"please……"Everyone accompanied him to the Huainan camp.

Entering the living room, delicacies were already prepared on the round table, and everyone sat down together with smiles on their faces. Yang Guang helped Wang Wentong pick up the food and asked,"My father-in-law is on a routine inspection during this trip. I hope you can give me some advice.""

"The old slave was sent by the emperor to supervise the battle against Chen, but the emperor heard that His Highness was unaccustomed to the climate and had been sick for many days. Isn't it true or false?"

As expected, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty sent Wang Wentong here to check Yang Guang's condition. Yang Guang calmly picked up the wine glass and said:"Since I sent out troops, I have been cautious and cautious. How dare I neglect it? Your Majesty cannot believe those rumors."

Wang Wentong blocked Yang Guang's wine glass with his hand.He said:"Your Majesty is really worried. He wants His Highness to return to Beijing to recuperate."

This sentence made Yang Guang's hair stand on end, and he felt panicked and a little hard to express. At this time, Zhuge Ying said to Yuwen in the wing:"General Yuwen, send your victory report aside and treat it as a new arrival."

"Eventually you will understand."

Yu Wenshu held the good news in hand and repeated his old tricks. He hurried to the living room and said in front of Wang Wentong:"Report to your highness, Yang Su, the Duke of Qinghe, has sent good news. Chen Bing's navy was defeated at Langwei Beach!"

Yang Guang was in a dilemma. When he saw Yu Wenshu's performance, he understood and said:"Why don't you ask the prince to read it?"

"Oops, His Highness is the coach, how can I let this old slave see it first?"

Yu Wenshu submitted the report with both hands and handed it to Wang Wentong. Wang Wentong was still a little embarrassed. He took the battle report with a smile, opened it and looked at it. After seeing that it was indeed the battle report sent by Yang Su, Wang Wentong picked up the wine glass again:"Your Highness has an overview of the three armies, and the arrangements are in order. Fang, this old slave should toast His Highness with a glass of congratulations on the victory in the first battle."

"good! Yang Guang was very proud, and the two drank it all in one gulp.

Yu Wenshu stepped back, and Wang Wentong said again:"I wonder how your highness is recovering?" The climate in Huainan is no better than that in the capital."

"Don't worry, father-in-law, I have gone to the countryside and do as the Romans do, nothing serious will happen to me"

"Well, that's good. After all, Wang Wentong was old. After drinking two drinks, he went back to his room to rest. Yang Guang called Xiao Jun, Zhang Heng, Yu Wenshu, and Zhuge Ying into the room. Yang Guang said,"Mr. Zhuge used a trick today to fool Wang Wentong." To be happy, Wang Wentong is a close confidant of his father and must serve him well these days."

Xiao Jun said:"I think it takes a two-pronged approach to make Wang Wentong convinced."

"Why is it a two-pronged approach? My beloved, please tell me."

"Tomorrow Zhang Heng will accompany Wang Wentong to have more fun in Huaiyang. In addition, General Yu Wenshu immediately revised the book and sent an order to Yang Su to speed up the war as soon as possible so that Wang Wentong could bring back more good news. Yu

Wenshu touched his beard, looked troubled, and said:"As long as Yang Su breaks through the mouth of the gorge, he can control the upper reaches of the Yangtze River." But I heard that the mouth of the gorge has been inlaid with iron by Chen Guo, making it difficult to break through."

After hearing what Yu Wenshu said, everyone was in trouble, fearing that the war would be difficult to advance, but Xiao Jun did not hesitate and said straightforwardly:"The most difficult thing for Your Highness is not to deal with Chen Guo, but to deal with the father."

When Yang Guang heard this, he suddenly realized that he knew in his heart that Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty's idea of ​​changing commanders was far more terrifying than Chen Guo's navy. It was related to whether he could compete with Yang Yong for the throne in the future, so Yang Guang beat his knees and said:"Immediately. Quickly report to Yang Su and give strict instructions to break through the gorge as soon as possible no matter what."This is it: it is easy to destroy the enemy, but it is difficult to deceive the enemy. The warship is blocked by the river and the river.

The barrier is made of labor, and the iron rope is inlaid to block the water pass.
