This northern rejection of the Turks was a defensive battle. The original intention was to repel Bujia Khan's own troops.
After the founding of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian only listened to one person, Chang Sun Sheng, on how to deal with the relationship with the Turks.
Yang Jian has always divided the Turkic tribes in accordance with the policy of "diplomating far away and attacking close by, separating the strong and joining the weak" proposed by Chang Sun Sheng, which led to the division of the powerful Turkic tribes in the north for more than 20 years, allowing the Sui Dynasty to effectively divide its troops. , first destroy the Northern Qi, and then destroy the Southern Chen, to achieve the unification of China.
It can be said that Chang Sun Sheng's official position is not very high, but his achievements are huge, and his status in Yang Jian's mind is also very important.
This time, the northern occupation of Turks was completed. Changsun Sheng stayed in northern Xinjiang, and the remaining Yang Guang, Yang Su, Shi Wansui and others all returned to the court.
Although the victorious army has not yet arrived in Daxing, one person has returned early, and that is Yu Zan, who followed Yang Guang on the expedition. This person is now the Governor of the Jin Palace and Yang Guang's absolute confidant.
Yuzan's elder brother is relatively famous. At that time, Yujuluo, the general manager of Fengzhou in the Zhu Kingdom.
Yuzan, who returned from the front line ahead of schedule, immediately reported the situation to Concubine Xiao and Yang Zhao. At the same time, he also brought news that made Yang Ming feel heavy.
Yang Su and Shi Wansui fell out.
This time, the north resisted the Turks and was divided into two routes, Yang Guang and Yang Su's route, which took the Lingzhou (Lingwu County, Ningxia) line, and Yang Liangshi's Long live route, which took the Shuozhou (Shanxi Shuozhou) line.
But in fact, Yang Liang, the king of Han Dynasty in Shuozhou, returned to Jinyang due to illness, and the East Route Army was given full command by Shi Wansui.
However, Shi Wansui led his troops to discover the main force of the Turkic Bujia Khan in the Dajin Mountains (Daqingshan Mountains of Inner Mongolia), so he led his troops to defeat them and chased them for hundreds of miles. The Bujia Khan fled in panic after being killed.
In other words, Yang Guang and Yang Su's West Route Army actually did not contribute much.
The news Yuzan brought back was that Yang Su ordered Shi Wansui not to underestimate the enemy and advance rashly, but Shi Wansui refused to listen and went straight to the north to kill, resulting in the loss of nearly 10,000 soldiers. Although the merits were good, the merits and demerits were balanced.
It is said that after Shi Wansui returned to Shuozhou, Yang Su even went directly to Shi Wansui's Chinese army tent to raise troops to question him. The two quarreled at that time.
Of course, Yang Ming was dubious about Yu Zan's words. First of all, this kid had a bad ass, and his words would inevitably be biased towards Yang Su.
On the battlefield, it is common to lose troops and generals. It is unreasonable to blame Shi Wansui for this.
Besides, Shi Wansui is the commander-in-chief of the East Route Army, so why should I listen to you, the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army?
In this battle, the leader of the East Route Army was Han Wang Yang Liang. Since Yang Liang had given full power to Shi Wansui, Yang Guang, as the commander-in-chief of the West Route, could not interfere with others.
And Yang Ming learned from the historical records of previous lives that Shi Wansui fell into the hands of Yang Su in the end.
It was the old boy Yang Su who kept slandering and making false accusations in front of Yang Jian, which led to Yang Jian finally brutally murdering Shi Wansui in the court in November of the 20th year of the founding of the Emperor. Now, it is already June of the 20th year of the founding of the Emperor.
It was such a violent killing, and it sounds so tragic, but he still died in the court meeting.
But this life is different from the previous life. This life has Yang Ming, and Shi Wansui is his master.
Seven days later, Yang Guang led his pro-army squad back to the court.
Yang Ming hurriedly asked Xu Jing to enter the palace to inquire about the news, because he knew that Yang Guang would not tell him what happened in the court when he came back. He could only find out on his own.
That night, his father Yang Guang did not return home. No one knew where he went.
It was not until noon the next day that Xu Jing returned from the palace in a hurry.
The news he brought back made Yang Ming confused.
Not only did Shi Wansui have no merit, but he was also guilty. The three generals under his command, Zhu Guo Zhang Dinghe, General Li Duan, and Marching Chief Yang Yichen were all reprimanded by Yang Jian.
What the hell....
Yang Su actually pointed out at the court meeting that it was Shi Wansui who led the troops to advance rashly. If the Jin King's West Route Army had not been restrained from the side, the East Route Army would have been in danger of being completely annihilated by the Turks.
He also pointed out that this battle was to retreat from the enemy, not to pursue the enemy. Shi Wansui deviated from the original intention of the Supreme Being, went deep into the enemy's territory, and put the 100,000 troops on the east route in danger. His intention was abominable.
And Shi Wansui also had a bad temper. After being reprimanded by Yang Jian, he said angrily and passionately that all soldiers had meritorious service. Today, the Supreme Being will not leave regardless of meritorious deeds and rewards.
Is this blackmailing Yang Jian? Can there be good fruit to eat?
Yang Jian asked the guards to kick him out on the spot.
This is not over yet.
Just as Shi Wansui was blasted away, Yang Su spoke again, saying that Shi Wansui didn't even take the Supreme Being seriously and forced him to take credit. Is he still a minister?
If Gao Jongsuwei and others had not stopped him, Yang Jian would have dismissed Shi Wansui, the left-leading general.
Yang Ming is really worried now...
Dad Yang Guang and Yang Su are wearing the same pair of pants, but his master is in such a quarrel with Yang Su?
What should we do? He was not qualified to go to Yang Jian to plead for Shi Wansui.
It was barely enough to deal with Jushi Liu, let alone get involved in the struggles of these big guys.
After much thought, Yang Ming had no clue. Shi Wansui must be protected. The other party was someone he could absolutely trust, and his position in his heart was more important than Li Jing's.
Since he couldn't figure it out at the moment, Yang Ming simply went to see his master first and see what his current state was.
...
Shi Wansui's general's mansion is located in Changlefang, east of the city. The mansion was given to him by Yang Jian, but the decoration inside was paid for by Shi Wansui himself.
Shi Wansui fought in the north and south, hid a lot of trophies secretly, and was very rich. He did not hide these from Yang Ming, and even showed off them in front of Yang Ming.
And he also suffered a big loss because of this. He was sued behind the scenes by Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, saying that he accepted bribes and allowed himself to rebel against thieves and raise tigers. After Yang Jian had people find out, he directly demoted Shi Wansui to A soldier guarding the city of Dunhuang.
Therefore, Shi Wansui did not have high political intelligence, but when he led troops to fight in the Sui Dynasty, he was able to secure five and compete for three.
After entering the mansion, Yang Ming was led all the way to the backyard.
Under a big locust tree, Shi Wansui was drinking with a group of people around a stone table to relieve their sorrows.
Seeing Yang Ming come in, everyone except Shi Wansui stood up one after another.
Shi Wansui raised his hand and said: "Okay, okay, you all should sit down. Yang Ming is my disciple, not an outsider, so he doesn't have to pay too much attention."
Then, someone gave up a seat for Yang Ming.
After Yang Ming sat down, he glanced at the people around him. Most of them were familiar faces.
On the left, Shi Wanbao, the hussar general of the military mansion, was Shi Wansui's second brother.
On the left, Shi Wanshou, the chariot and cavalry general of the army, was Shi Wanshou's third brother.
Zhang Dinghe, the Marquis of Wu'an County, and Yang Yichen, the governor of Shaanxi Province, looked very kind, but Yang Ming didn't recognize them, so he said:
"Who is this?"
The man stood up on his own initiative, cupped his hands and said, "The last general is Li Duan."
Sounds a bit familiar... Yang Ming pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "But Li Yaowang of Longxi?"
Li Duan smiled and nodded: "Exactly. I often hear my younger brother mention His Highness."
"Since we are friends and brothers, General Li doesn't need to be reserved. Please take a seat," Yang Ming said with a smile.
It turns out that this Li Duan is Li Jing's eldest brother. I heard that he used to hang out with his uncle Han Hong.
Li Jing's three uncles all had very high titles in the Sui Dynasty. The eldest uncle was Han Qinhu, the Duke of Shouguang County in the Shangzhu State, the second uncle was Han Senshou, the Duke of Jiangdu County in the Shangzhu State, and the third uncle was Han Hong, the Gongtang County Duke of the Zhuguo State.
The titles of the Sui Dynasty were divided into nine levels: prince, county prince, and duke. The next one was the county duke, and the next was the county duke.
There are eleven levels of imperial honors in the Sui Dynasty. The first level is the Shangzhu Kingdom and the second level is the Zhu Kingdom.
It can be seen from this that the power of the old Han family is not small.
