The battle situation in Luoyang and Hulaoguan was quickly conveyed to Yang Gao through Yingxin.
Although the Sui army was slightly better than the Tang army in these battles, facing the Tang army that Li Shimin carefully drilled, the casualties were still high. Especially Yang Zaixing's department, there were less than 5,000 people left when they returned to Luoyang City that day. They were all real elites in a hundred battles. Not only Meng Gong and Yang Zaixing, but also Yang Gao was in great pain.
At dawn the next day, during the early morning court, Yang Gao proposed to the ministers his plan to conquer personally: "My dear friends, the Eastern Capital is our old capital of the Sui Dynasty, and I don't need to tell you more about its status. Now ten Tens of thousands of Tang thieves invaded Luoyang, and all the outer areas of Luoyang fell into the hands of thieves. I am determined to personally lead the army north, coordinate and command the three armies, and strive to defeat the Tang thieves and regain the lost territory!"
As soon as Yang Gao finished speaking, Liu Bowen, the assistant minister of Zhongshu, stepped out of the queue and said loudly: "The Eastern Capital has an extraordinary strategic position and must not fall into the hands of Tang thieves. His Majesty's personal expedition will surely inspire the soldiers and the three armies will use their lives to the best of their ability." . I think your Majesty’s move is very good!”
"Old minister seconded the proposal!"
Yang Lin, the patron king, straightened his back and said: "Chang'an, the capital of the west, has fallen into the hands of the traitor Li Yuan. If Luoyang, the eastern capital, falls into the hands of the traitor again, how will the people of the world view your majesty and us? Then the traitor Li Yuan will With the two capitals in hand, my reputation will definitely be even greater. I would like to ask you to go with your majesty, even if you have to fight for it, you must save Luoyang."
Yang Gao smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Uncle Tai Huang is already old, and I am very satisfied to have this kind of heart. As for going into battle, let the juniors do it."
As soon as Yang Gao finished speaking, Lu Fang, Xue Liang, Wei Wentong, and Shi Bao, several of Yang Lin's adopted sons, came out together and said, "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. At the end of the day, the general is not talented. I am willing to follow your Majesty in place of my adopted father." Luoyang fights against Tang thieves."
Yang Lin didn't appreciate it at all. His eyes were as big as bells and his voice was like a bell: "Your Majesty, Lian Po in ancient times was over eighty years old and could still eat ten kilograms of rice and meat. I am only eighty-eight in sixty this year. How can I do that?" Considered old?"
Seeing this, Yang Gao raised his lips slightly, showing an imperceptible smile, and said: "In that case, I will take Uncle Tai Huang as the vanguard of the army, and two generals, Lu Fang and Xue Liang, will assist him."
Yang Lin was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately kowtowed and thanked him: "Old minister, thank you for your majesty's trust!"
Yang Gao nodded slightly, then glanced over the bodies of Shangshu Ling Yu Yunwen, Officials Shangshu Zhang Juzheng, Shangshu Zuopushe Wang Anshi, Rites Shangshu Cen Wenwen, Sikong Peiju, and Jiangdu County Governor Bao Zheng, and said in a deep voice: "I am not in Jiangdu. During these days, I am afraid that my dear friends will have to work hard. I only have one sentence, everyone should be responsible for their duties and perform their duties. I will be rewarded when my class teacher returns to the court."
Under the leadership of Yu Yunwen, Zhang Juzheng, and Pei Ju, all the courtiers bowed to the ground and saluted: "I obey the decree, and I also wish your majesty to win the battle, bring peace to the world and unify the world as soon as possible!"
Yang Gao nodded slightly and said again: "General Chen Leng, after my imperial commander personally conquers the city, you will be responsible for the defense of Jiangdu. General Wei Wentong, I order you to assist General Chen Leng."
Although Chen Leng's ability is average, Jiangdu is located in the hinterland of the Sui Dynasty, and there are no threats nearby. In addition, Wei Wentong, a fierce general with a force value of 98, will probably not cause any big trouble.
Chen Leng and Wei Wentong raised their hands and clasped their fists at the same time and said: "Wei Chen obeys the order, please rest assured, Your Majesty, as long as Wei Chen is here, we will not let Xiaoxiao people run wild in Jiangdu!"
. . . . . . . . . .
After the court meeting ended, Yang Gao returned to the palace, excused himself from everyone, closed his eyes slightly, and sent an instruction to the system: "System, I want to execute the summoning program."
The system started in response: "Ding dong, the host currently has a total of 447 soul points. Please specify the summoning points and focus range."
Yang Gao said without hesitation: "Use 100 soul points to summon, focusing on force."
When Zhang Xun led his army on a cross-sea expedition to Youzhou, Yang Gao was wary of the strength of the generals under Temujin and Wanyan Aguda, so he sent the heroic generals Lu Wenlong and Nan Jiyun to his account.
At present, Wei Wentong was sent by him to assist Chen Leng in defending Jiangdu. Before going to court, he ordered Shen Guang to command the Yulin Army and be responsible for the security of the palace city after he went on the expedition. Nowadays, apart from Yuwen Chengdu and Shi Bao, the only available generals under his command are Cheng Yaojin and You Junda, a pair of funny brothers.
"Ding dong, the host uses 100 soul points to summon force. The character is being selected for the host to summon. Please wait patiently..."
"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for obtaining the title of Wang Zhen, a famous general in the late Northern Song Dynasty. Commander is 92, force is 96, intelligence is 75, and politics is 63. Currently, the implanted identity is from the Central Plains. He admires the host's personality and achievements, and is on his way to join the army."
After hearing Wang Zhen's name, Yang Gao nodded with some satisfaction: "I have good luck in summoning him this time. He is a powerful person, his loyalty is commendable, and he will definitely be of great use!"
Historically, Wang Zhenxing was born in the military. He defeated the rebels in succession in the battle to pacify Fangla in the Northern Song Dynasty, and conquered Hangzhou and Muzhou successively, with outstanding military exploits. Later, he participated in the battle of Liaobaigou, but was defeated miserably due to the incompetent command of Song Huizong Zhao Ji and his coach Tong Guan. The most dazzling moment in his life was in Taiyuan in the seventh year of Xuanhe in the Northern Song Dynasty.
In the seventh year of Xuanhe, the Jin people launched a large-scale attack on the Song Dynasty. Most of the cities in Hebei surrendered, but Taiyuan City, guarded by Wang Zhen, suffered a head-on attack. With no food and reinforcements inside and outside, they defeated the famous Jin general Wanyan Zonghan's crazy attack for more than 250 days.
After the city of Taiyuan was destroyed, Wang Zhen refused the general's suggestion to abandon the city and led the remaining troops in a fierce street battle with the Jin soldiers. He was shot dozens of times. Finally, he and his eldest son Wang Xun threw themselves into the Fen River and died in the city. .
What is even more regrettable is that more than a hundred years after this general died for his country, a popular book "Water Margin" came out, but it completely blackened this loyal and loyal general.
In it, Wang Zhen was vilified as a villain who relied on traitors for his own future and did not hesitate to take credit from his colleagues. And with the passage of time and the continuous improvement of the status of Water Margin, more and more people know that Wang Zhen is no longer the man who died in battle, but a man who maliciously slandered the heroes because of his dissatisfaction, which caused the Liangshan hero Ruan Xiao Qi is a treacherous villain who has retired from office and returned to his hometown despite his merits. I don’t know how sad he must be in his heart if he knows what he knows.
"Alas, romance can sometimes be very deceiving. Mizhouro Zhouyu also inexplicably turned into a narrow-minded villain because of a book called "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Even the Chibi Great Contribution that he planned and implemented was ruined. Zhuge Liang took half of it."
Yang Gao sighed and said secretly: "But don't worry, General Wang. Now that you have a new life, I will never let you move forward. I will definitely give you a chance to prove yourself."
