Chapter 1343: Cruel Yang Guang

It was still the large mansion that Yang Jian had rewarded before, but now the sign at the door has been replaced by the county duke's mansion.

Children, who are four or five years old, even seven or eight years old, have been traveling for nearly a month and are so uncomfortable that they just got stuck in the ground and rushed into the house, chattering and making trouble.

Before Wang Yan even entered the house, he had no time to clean up, and was called into the imperial city by the people who had been waiting here, and went to the East Palace to see the energetic prince Guang.

"Ziyan, haha, it's been a long time since we met." Yang Guang came up enthusiastically and patted Wang Yan's arm with a respectful attitude.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is so energetic." Wang Yan still compliments him as usual.

After saying a few nonsense, Yang Guang said, "I started fighting with the Turks. The King of Han controlled his troops, do you know?"

"I know, the person who sent the order said he intended to transfer me over. It was his highness who fought for it?"

"Didn't you say you want to be the marching general? This time, let your general manager be the whole army and kill the grassland for fun."

Neither of them said that the naval army power established by Wang Yan was taken down, and it would be impossible for Wang Yan to return to Yangzhou in this life.

Yang Guang is already the crown prince, and Yang Jian boldly delegated power and asked Yang Guang to interfere in political affairs. At present, Yang Guang is almost half an emperor. He was already considering his country and preventing the powerful officials from appearing under his command.

Wang Yan asked, "Go to Bingzhou?"

"Yes, you are more familiar with the situation over there. This time I am also interested in supporting Yubi. What do you think?"

After pondering for a moment, Wang Yan said, "Your Highness, the support of Bimen is of no use. It is just another blue one and another sudden profit. It can only be stable for a while, and it is difficult to be worry-free forever. Those barbarians fear power but do not care. Virtue is a person with ambition, and it is really not worth it.

It would be better to destroy the Turks in one battle. Then, some people in the Central Plains will be moved to the grassland and intermarried with the Turks. In this way, the Turks will truly become my descendants of the Sui Dynasty in the past few generations. In addition, managing the grassland can also give poor scholars a chance to become officials. If you can withstand the suffering of the grassland, you will definitely be able to achieve something.

When these people grow up, it is also the help of His Highness to deal with the wealthy families. They thought that without them, no one would become an official? Without them, I, Da Sui, will be in chaos? Without them, I, Da Sui, will only be better! ”

Yang Guang was very satisfied with Wang Yan's idea of ​​becoming a wealthy family, but he did not agree with Wang Yan's proposal.

He shook his head and said, "Ziyan, you think it's simple. Now my Sui Dynasty is surrounded by wolves, Lingnan and Baiyue are unstable, and Tuyuhun has been having fun recently. Last year, my useless brother, brought 300,000 yuan with me, with him 300,000 yuan. The army attacked Goguryeo and returned in vain, which further encouraged the arrogance of the barbarians and frequently attacked. It was not a day to destroy the Turks, and it was really difficult to do such a situation."

"Others don't know that if your Highness sends me to command, all the barbarians can be subdued."

Yang Guang laughed: "I know you are determined by the world, don't be impatient, you will be the time to perform. Your proposal is good. Although we cannot completely destroy the Turks, we can always do practical treatment based on Bibu. This time If you go to war, as your prince says, you will definitely be able to build a large territory, so it is okay to slowly advance.

But these are all secondary. The main thing is to knock down the Turks' tail and let them be honestly a dog that does not bark. I also saved the four barbarians from being rampant, and they all wanted to solve the tiger beards of the Great Sui Dynasty. ”

"Yes, Your Highness. I don't know when to go to war and what troops will he lead?"

"Don't worry, wait for the palace to discuss your proposal with the ministers. You will be exhausted all the way and rest for a few days. Wait for Your Majesty to summon him. Go back."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Wang Yan responded, then left the East Palace and went back to take a shower at home.

While he was taking a shower, he heard someone come to report that Li Jing came over.

Li Jing is really a good friend and good brother. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to his house just now. But it was still a coincidence that they came back at noon. It was already afternoon. It was basically not long before they had dinner.

Wang Yan didn't clean up either. After taking a shower, he simply wore a loose and comfortable shirt and wet hair, so he went to see Li Jing.

"Don't be fine, pharmacist."

"Brother Lao is concerned about it. It's very good, but my brother is still so energetic." Li Jing laughed.

The two of them arrived at the dining room while chatting and laughing. There were people at home who had prepared food and wine and started drinking it directly.

Of course, Li Jing understood Wang Yan's affairs. He asked, "The navy army that my brother built was divided up. Is it willing?"

Wang Yan shook his head funny. His experience determines his attitude. Now Li Jing asked him if he was willing to do so, but he didn't want to hang out with Li Er in the future. In his later years, the door of his home was no longer closed.

"I am unwilling to do so, I just die. How do you say I choose?" Wang Yan took a sip of wine and said, "Although there is a vast world overseas, I want to die of old age in China. Besides, I am a young soldier from the rank of a county. It’s a blessing, so how can you not leave the power? Get into trouble for nothing?

However, the pharmacist can rest assured that even if the power of the navy is now divided by others, he is still a brother who is somewhat trustworthy. I can't guarantee anything else, but your Li's fleet will definitely not be affected. ”

Taking advantage of the good relationship between Li Jing and Wang Yan, the Li family in Longxi integrated family resources early in the morning and went out to sea to make a fortune after Wang Yan. It was when the wind was just hustle and bustle in the Sui Dynasty, Li Jing wrote a letter that was somewhat ashamed and embarrassed to ask Wang Yan to bring Li's fortune.

Li Jing shook his head: "I'm not worried about this, but I'm afraid that my brother will be unhappy."

"That's because the pharmacist underestimated me. I had nothing, but now I have gained a lot. I am very satisfied." Wang Yan turned and asked, "Why didn't you bring your sister-in-law?"

Li Jing risked great disapproval and married Hong Fu, a singer in Yang Su's family. He also met Zhang Zhongjian, but Wang Yan had never met him.

"She was a little embarrassed."

"Not enough status?" Wang Yan said with a smile, "What's the matter? You know I hate these the most. Status is ultimately determined by fists. Who has the bigger fists, the higher the status. Who dares to look down on me in the rich and powerful families now? Even if you curse me to death thousands of times in your heart, don't you have to smile and give me gifts?

My family doesn't care about these things. Your sisters-in-law, including princesses, Chen Guo imperial concubines, peasant girls, and guilty women, are all fine? Go back and tell her , please have more contact with my family in the future. In this huge Daxing City, you and General Shi are the only ones I can trust. With my current status, I will definitely not be able to take my family to fight in the future, so I should have more contact with them. "

"Okay, I'll bring her over later."

Li Jing responded, and then asked, "Brother, are you going to be transferred to fight the Turks this time?"

"That's the matter. I just came back and was called by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He said that this time I was asked to be in charge of a large army. I want to beat the Turks from wolves to dogs." Wang Yan responded with a smile.

Li Jing is now a member of the Jiabu Yuanwailang under the Ministry of War, responsible for managing cattle, horses, carriages, post stations, etc., and is a sixth-rank official. So Li Jing can still get in touch with some military secrets, and there are already voices in the court, not just Yang Guang's people.

This is a national war. Although the Great Sui can suppress the Turks, the civil and military officials in the court are also annoyed by the Turks, especially last year's unfavorable fight against Goguryeo, everyone is not very happy.

The Five Barbarians had caused chaos in China, but now it is the legitimate dynasty of China, and everyone is still very motivated. If they failed to defeat Goguryeo, they must not fail to defeat the Turks, otherwise the morale would plummet and the impact would be great. Where is the dignity of the Celestial Empire?

So they thought of General Wang, who had the most outstanding record, and asked him to beat the Turks and beat them half to death. Even for the battle with Goguryeo last year, some people began to look up the accounts, saying that Wang Yan should have been sent last year. He could have penetrated the Goguryeo army with 1,800 elite soldiers and even reached the peninsula.

At the same time, they also attacked Han Wang Yang Liang, questioning his ability to control the army again and attack the Turks, etc.

This was obviously done by Yang Guang, because Yang Liang was not convinced by his good brother, and Yang Guang must have tried to make his good brother look bad.

But no matter what, Wang Yan's fighting power was recognized by the whole court, and everyone took it for granted that as long as he went to war, he could achieve different results. Even if he could not win the overall victory, Wang Yan himself could definitely beat the barbarians on the local battlefield.

There was nothing wrong with this, after all, Wang Yan's famous battle faced a worse situation. The six hundred soldiers developed into four thousand soldiers, and he dared to fight against tens of thousands of Turks. The key was that he won, and there was no place to complain.

It was also because Wang Yan had been suppressed for so many years. Wang Yan himself made a breakthrough in the navy, and Yang Guang became the prince again. He could not suppress it anymore, and at the same time divided the navy, which gave Wang Yan another opportunity to fight on the battlefield.

From the ninth year of Kaihuang to the nineteenth year of Kaihuang, Wang Yan also went from eighteen to twenty-eight years old, and along the way...

There were not many ups and downs.

Wang Yan's own strength was still well accumulated, and he himself did not care much about whether he could go to the battlefield. As long as the situation continues, everyone will be his people, and the result will be the same...

"Brother finally led the army to the battle. Maybe after this battle, brother will become a county duke."

"It's enough to have a title. It's not good to have a title that's too high. It will cause suspicion."

"Who in the world doesn't know that brother is loyal to the prince and the royal family?"

"People's hearts are fickle." Wang Yan smiled, "No matter how loyal I am, I can't resist others' slander and framing. So I don't show off. I do whatever I'm told to do and live my life peacefully and prosperously."

He looked at Li Jing and asked, "I know that the pharmacist has strategies in his mind. Do you want to fight in the grasslands and show what you have learned? Now that your highness is the prince, there is no previous dispute over the throne, and the pharmacist should not have such worries."

Li Jing nodded. Yang Guang's position as the prince is still very stable.

He also knew what Wang Yan meant. It didn't matter that they had a personal relationship, but going to the grassland to fight with Wang Yan was different. It marked that he had become a member of the prince's party and had joined the prince Yang Guang.

Wang Yan said that there was no previous dispute over the throne, which also meant that Yang Guang was better than Yang Yong as the prince, and it was impossible for him to be deposed. This was also the consensus of the court officials.

Moreover, after Yang Guang became the prince, he was making friends with the ministers and expanding his influence. After two years, Yang Guang had become very authoritative.

Li Jing pondered for a moment and asked uncertainly, "Is it feasible?"

"Why not?" Wang Yan smiled and said, "I will transfer you to join me in the war. You can lead a thousand soldiers and horses as a general. It's easy for you to fight with me and win some merits. It depends on whether you are willing to go. If you are willing, I will go and tell His Highness, and His Highness will definitely not care. After all, I am also a general, and this matter is nothing."

"Okay, brother, I will go with you!" Li Jing raised his head and drank the strong liquor, very heroic.

Wang Yan laughed: "No need to do that, it's like we are dying. We are fighting to live and live better, not to die. Even if it's a dragon's lair, what can we do? Killing dragons and tigers is easy."

"Talking about killing dragons is taboo, brother, it's better to say less."

"It's just you and me, so what? Come on, drink and win!"

Li Jing is still loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and reminds his good brother to be careful with his words. But he doesn't know that his good brother really holds the dragon-slaying sword and wants to kill dragons...

He drank with Li Jing until midnight. The next day, Wang Yan went to tell Yang Guang about transferring Li Jing to his subordinates. Of course, Yang Guang didn't say much, and agreed to this matter very straightforwardly, helping Wang Yan to operate, and rewarding Li Jing with a set of armor and weapons.

Two days later, Wang Yan was summoned to the palace.

He didn't meet Yang Jian alone, but a large group of military advisors, including Yuwen Shu, Pei Ju, etc.

At this time, civil and military affairs were inseparable, and no one could be granted a title without military merit. Those who could be in the court were not very good at fighting, but they were definitely good at fighting. They all had some martial arts and some military strategies.

It was also at this time that Wang Yan's specific position was determined, leading the Yanmen Marching General Manager, commanding 20,000 troops, and marching out of Yanmen.

The main purpose of summoning him here was that everyone wanted to know how far he could fight. This was not to force him to sign a military order, but to cooperate with the overall battle situation and make adjustments and arrangements.

The reason was that the grassland was too vast and the battle line was too long, from Bingzhou to Liangzhou, from the north to the northwest, spanning more than a thousand miles. The battlefield military information was not smooth, and it was easy to have big problems.

The role of the marching general manager was also here, serving the overall situation, and being flexible and adaptable to solve local problems, thus involving the overall situation.

Wang Yan's combat effectiveness was too strong, and his command ability had also been tested. No one knew how far he could fight with 20,000 elite soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty, and what impact it would have on your battle situation.

So they need to know what Wang Yan can do at least, so as to mobilize other forces to cooperate.

That is cooperation.

After Wang Yan was transferred to join the war, generals who had been famous for many years, such as Yang Su and Shi Wansui, also lost their luster and had to serve as foils for Wang Yan. Wang Yan's military achievements have already caught up with Wei Huo. The reason why he did not surpass them was that the Turks were not destroyed.

Of course, Wang Yan told them the truth and told them everything.

The 20,000 troops under his command only had 7,000 cavalry, and the rest were infantry. He guaranteed that after this battle, the minimum result would be that all the infantry would be on horses.

In this way, everyone would have a number. The spoils of more than 10,000 horses must have killed and injured at least 30,000 Turks, and the combat range must cover half of the grassland. Combined with Wang Yan's past achievements, the number of Turkic casualties would have to rise a lot. So in summary, Wang Yan himself can fight against the 100,000 Turkic army.

The total strength of the Turkic army was only a few hundred thousand, and it was still a state of universal mobilization. Wang Yan defeated an army of 100,000, which was basically equivalent to crippling the Turkic army.

For a while, everyone was very happy, and everyone was thinking about winning.

No one said what would happen if they lost, after all, Wang Yan's battle was the most dangerous, and Wang Yan could not come back if he lost.

Wang Yan didn't care about these, he just looked at Yang Jian's face and gave Yang Guang a thumbs up.

Yang Jian's complexion was very bad, and his weakness was visible to the naked eye. Compared with the time when Wang Yan was promoted to a noble, it can be said that it took a sharp turn for the worse, and it seemed that he would not live for a few years.

Yang Guang was still cruel.

Sitting on the position of the prince, Yang Guang's ambition could not be controlled. He was unwilling to wait for his father to die slowly, and he was unwilling to be the prince for more than ten years. He wanted to take the throne as soon as possible to show his ambitions, so he could only let Yang Jian down...
