The cold wind howled and blood solidified into ice. As the Battle of Dangjincheng ended, two elite Sui armies poured into the vast western land of Tuyuhun. After two days of pursuit, the Sui army once again pushed back the troops who had fled westward and gathered spontaneously. The second Tuyuhun army was intercepted, followed by another blood-soaked massacre, followed by hot pursuit, pulling out dozens of Tuyuhun tribesmen along the way.
Yang Ji led the main army to advance along the traces of flesh and blood, and finally caught up with Achi and Pochaoqi on the fourth day. All he saw along the way was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and mourning victims everywhere.
Under the rustling flags was an array of cavalry. Their armor and weapons shone with dazzling cold light in the snow. Yang Ji slowly came out of the array and stared coldly at a Xianbei tribe chief.
I don’t know if the chief of this tribe was particularly loyal to Murong Fuyun or if he was stupid. He actually led more than 2,000 tribesmen and launched an offensive against Yang Ji’s regrouped army of tens of thousands. However, although his courage was commendable, The result was quite tragic. The Sui army just lost an arrow and killed them until they collapsed.
Yang Ji asked: "Why do you want to attack our Sui army?"
The chief's entire face was covered in blood. He cried out sadly: "Most of our food was taken away by the Great Khan. Now that the sky is full of wind and snow, we have very little food left. There is no way for the tribe to survive... …”
"So you attacked my army and acted wantonly?" After hearing this, Yang Ji was extremely angry. He did not shout loudly, but the murderous intent in his tone weighed heavily on everyone's heart.
The chief knew he was going to die, so he suddenly felt courageous. He glared at Yang Ji fiercely and said proudly: "In the cold winter, we can only huddle in tents or caves. If we can't survive, we will freeze to death. You Sui people are born with We have warm houses, delicious food, and are not afraid of the cold winter at all. However, you still want to take away our land, why can't I attack you?"
"You have the sharpest weapons and the strongest armor in the world. We can't defeat you, but we just refuse to accept it..."
"You are a warrior, but you are not a warrior of the Sui Dynasty. Since you are not a Sui person, there is no fairness." Yang Ji ignored the half-dead chief, glanced at the generals, and said, "These people are not the same as us. The difference is that they only believe in strength. If you obey the Sui Dynasty today, you may rebel against the Sui Dynasty tomorrow. But it doesn't matter, there is nothing that killing can't solve!"
This man's fierce words once again brought up the historical facts in Yang Ji's mind. In that memory, Murong Fuyun lost his country in the fifth year of Daye, but in the eleventh year of Daye, he restored his country on this land and was able to grow rapidly. Why did Murong Fuyun develop so fast?
The reason is that Tuyuhun is dominated by Xianbei people and Xianbei Qiang and Di people. The proportion of these two types of people in the total population of Tuyuhun is actually not high, but they not only control the political, economic, and military resources of Tuyuhun, but they are also the main force for Murong Fuyun's restoration and expansion, so he was able to recover. The country grows stronger.
This also shows that Yang Guang, a famous tyrant, was too kind and did not kill hard enough. If not, how would the Tuyuhun people dare to follow Murong Fuyun to rebel against the Sui Dynasty when Yang Guang was still alive? ….
In view of this, Yang Ji felt that the best way for the Sui Dynasty to ensure long-term peace and stability in this land was to kill all the backbones like Tuyuhun, and then use their deaths to make other ethnic groups fear and surrender to the Sui Dynasty. , dare not resist the rule of the Sui Dynasty.
This is a war period, so it is natural and appropriate to kill them. If you miss this opportunity, they will be "ours" from now on. If you kill the so-called "owns" at that time, even the people inside will not agree with it and will be disgusted. .
"What the Sui Dynasty wants is a stable territory, not a quagmire of endless wars, and the people it needs are not ferocious wolves. Aren't they dissatisfied? Then kill them until they do." Yang Ji said coldly. : "I'm sending you this order. Anyone who dares to attack our army will have their troops destroyed!"
"All Xianbei people and all Xianbei tribes, regardless of gender, behead them!"
"Anyone who disobeys orders and dares to peek into the military camp will be killed!"
"Anyone who is dissatisfied and dares to express it will be killed!"
"Beat the sloppy surrender troops!"
"……cut!"
"cut!"
As a series of words "kill" were spoken, the world became filled with murderous intent. The surrounding soldiers felt their blood boiling with passion. They couldn't help but straighten their bodies and tighten their muscles.
Xue Shixiong, Qian Shixiong, Song Laosheng, Feng Xiaoci and other experienced generals around Yang Ji looked at Yang Ji with the same enthusiasm as ordinary soldiers.
"Next, use ten thousand people as a combat unit to advance westward. Let me kill everyone as much as possible. I would rather miss than let go." Yang Ji then ordered.
"Here!" Everyone responded with a roar!
The war-torn Tuyuhun is especially covered in ice and snow, but the city of Luoyang far to the east is already full of spring, with the refreshing fragrance of flowers and plants floating in the warm spring breeze. On both sides of the Luoshui River, the willow shuttlecocks pulled out their leaves and spit out their cores, growing lovely green leaves. The willow branches swayed in the wind, making them graceful.
Yang Guang stood on the gate tower of Tianjin Bridge and silently watched the scenery on both sides of the Luoshui River. On the stone steps near the river, many women in simple clothes were washing clothes by the river. One of the young girls, perhaps because she was afraid that the river would wet her shoes, With her trousers on, her white calves were bare, and she stood in the shallow water, letting the slightly turbid river water flow over her calves.
There is also a delicate woman carrying a baby on her back, squatting on the stone slab and beating the clothes with a mallet. Perhaps for the convenience of feeding the child, she is wearing a dress with a loose collar and a pair of half-exposed snow jade as she beats the clothes. The rhythm, the swing, is so beautiful.
Yang Guang, who was condescending, focused his gaze for a moment and quickly moved away. Suddenly he saw several men on the embankment pretending to look at the water. However, the direction their eyes were aiming at was obviously in the woman's collar...
Yang Guang smiled knowingly, and then looked far away; he saw that both sides of the river embankment were crowded with tourists and pedestrians. In addition to the small vendors setting up stalls on the roadside, there were also many richly dressed literati and ladies. .
These people had been bored all winter, like little animals that had just woken up. When they heard that the flowers on both sides of the Luoshui River were blooming, they all called their friends to come out to enjoy the flowers and scenery together. They were enjoying the flowers and scenery with great interest at the moment, but little did they know that they fell in the eyes of the emperor and became the scenery dotted on the beautiful picture scroll. ….
"Erlang, what are you laughing at?" Queen Xiao next to her heard the emperor suddenly burst into laughter and couldn't help but look over curiously.
"Nothing!" Yang Guang said perfunctorily, and then said boldly: "Everything beautiful in front of me makes me open-minded and full of motivation."
The emperor of the Sui Dynasty was very competitive. After becoming the prince, he worked diligently. In order to prove that his father's choice of him as his heir was the wisest decision, and to prove that he was stronger and more capable than Yang Yong, he always used real methods to prove that he was the wisest decision. Achievements to prove yourself. When he becomes emperor, he hopes that the great country founded by his father will further flourish in his hands.
The competitive character, the goal of a strong master to defeat his ancestors, and the undercurrent of prosperity... For Yang Guang, they are not only shackles, but also a powerful motivation. Therefore, he spends his time busy every day, but for a long time The struggle and the mountain of memorials also made him feel tired!
As soon as the morning meeting ended today, I took some time out of my busy schedule to take my wife and I to Tianjin Bridge to view the scenery. The bustling and prosperous world in front of him not only soothed his tired and nervous heart; even the tiredness in his bones was swept away at this moment. At the same time, an unprecedented strong fighting spirit surged in Yang Guang's heart. He wanted to conquer a huge country and create a more prosperous and powerful Sui Dynasty, so that more people in the Sui Dynasty could enjoy this beauty.
"I went back to the palace to handle the government affairs. You can see for yourselves!" Considering that there are still many government affairs that need to be handled, even Yang Ji, who was fighting the national war, disappeared without a trace and was not heard from again. Yang Guang was really fucked up. Confused, he couldn't stay still for a moment, waved his hand and left the gatehouse in a hurry.
Queen Xiao: "...".
