At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that the emperor was dissatisfied with the position of Marshal Chang Shi after the quarrel for a long time.
But is there anyone more suitable for this position than Pei Ju? It seems there really isn't any more.
Don't think that Pei Ju had never fought in the war. He had fought in Lingnan. During the reign of Emperor Kaihuang, Pei Ju went to the Turks alone and encouraged the Dulan Khan at that time to kill his wife, Princess Dayi.
】
Princess Dayi, originally Princess Qianjin, was the marriage princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Turks, the granddaughter of Yuwentai and the daughter of Yuwenzhao.
After the founding of the Sui Dynasty, due to the situation, he temporarily recognized Yang Jian as his father, but behind his back he kept encouraging the Turks to attack the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, Yang Jian could no longer bear it and ordered Pei Ju to send an envoy to the Turks to kill them in a counter-insurgency plan.
Pei Ju is a recognized Machiavellian and Yang Ming's father-in-law. He will definitely support the left side with all his strength. Is there anyone more suitable than him?
Next, Su Wei and Niu Hong raised objections. They did not think there was anyone more suitable for the capital than Pei Ju.
And others among him recommended candidates for the new Marshal Chang Shi.
Some people who recommended Li Hun laughed at that time, saying that Shi Wansui was much stronger than Li Hun, and he was only one of the eight generals.
Therefore, some people recommended Shi Wansui, but Yang Guang thought it was inappropriate. Shi Wansui did not have the ability to take charge of the overall situation.
The person who came to recommend the nurse was Yang Yue.
It sounds like Yang Yue and Marshal Chang Shi are incompatible with each other in this position, but in fact, many people agree.
Because Yang Su always takes Yang Yue with him when he goes on an expedition, and Yang Yue is Yang Su's number one military advisor. Many battles are actually led by Yang Yue behind his back. However, Yang Su's halo is too great, and people always ignore Yang Yue. about.
And because Yang Yue was sterile, he never competed with his brother Yang Su for credit. Otherwise, he would have been another prince.
At this time, two influential figures who had been out of the court for a long time finally had the opportunity to appear in the mouths of these central elders again.
The brothers Han Sengshou, the Duke of Xincai County, and Han Hong, the Duke of Gantang County, are Han Qinhu's two younger brothers and Li Jing's two uncles.
Both of them are veterans. One has worked with Wei Xiaokuan and the other has worked with Yang Su. They are both at the level of famous generals. However, Yang Guang thinks that they have not been able to fight for a long time and are afraid that they are no longer adapted to the battlefield.
Obviously, the people they recommended were not the emperor's favorite candidates.
No one mentioned Gao Jiong, because everyone knew that it was impossible for the emperor to let Gao Jiong go, but they ignored one thing, that is, the deep love between father and son.
Lai Huer was the best at figuring out the emperor's feelings. He and Yang Guang had met often when they were in Jiangdu, and the most suitable and most unlikely name came out of his mouth after all.
"I believe that this battle cannot be defeated, otherwise it will increase the arrogance of the Turks and Tiele and despise me, the Sui Dynasty. In order to be foolproof, perhaps Dugu Gong is the best candidate."
As soon as these words came out, Su Wei and Niu Hong looked at each other at the same time. Neither of them expected that someone would mention Gao Jiong.
If the position of Marshal Changshi can be recommended at will, who else would he be?
"Haha..." Yu Wenshu sneered and sneered, what are you thinking? Recommend Gao Jiong? Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?
Others also think this is not possible,
But Yang Guang suddenly looked at Lai Huer and asked:
"Ai Qing, do you think Gao Jiong is suitable?"
Well... In one sentence, everyone understands, the relationship is really high-end, isn't it?
People have been searching for him for thousands of times, but suddenly looking back, it turns out that he is still the same person.
Lai Hu'er knew that he had guessed the emperor's intention, and he was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Dugu Gong's ability is well-known in the world. With his help, great things have been decided."
Su Wei also quickly stood up and said: "Looking at the Sui Dynasty, there is no one more capable of shouldering this important task than Dugu Gong."
"If Dugu Gong takes action, a big victory is almost foreseeable," Niu Hong said.
Yu Wenshu was extremely embarrassed.
Yang Guang nodded happily:
"Since all the ministers have recommended me, we will make arrangements for this western expedition. King Qin will be the marching marshal, and Gao Jun will be the marshal. When everything is ready, we will immediately send troops to attack Fan State."
"Your Majesty is wise!" Su Wei was overjoyed.
Yang Guang added: "When the King of Qin was marching westward, Yang Rui, the king of Hedong, temporarily guarded the capital. Yang Yue assisted the left, and told the king of Qi to open a warehouse immediately to escort grain and grass to supply the army."
For such a major event, the postman who delivers the news must rush it at 600 miles. It is unrealistic to rush at 800 miles. It is not that fast. It is just a way of saying that the situation is urgent. In fact, it cannot be done at 600 miles. It can be done in one day. Five hundred miles is the limit.
The first person to receive the decree was of course Yang Jian in Luoyang, and his self-recommended memorial had just been sent out of Luoyang.
Has this been decided? I still want to go.
Yang Jian has always felt that the only difference between him and Lao San is military merit, so the current expedition to Tuguhun is an opportunity to regain the upper hand. Who would have thought that Jiangdu would make a decision so quickly.
He hurriedly hurriedly and slowly, but he was still one step late.
Enter your mother!
Have I become a logistics person?
He wouldn't dare to take action on this kind of matter. With so many people in Luoyang watching, if he dared to delay the handover of military rations, he would be afraid that many people in Luoyang would sue him, which would be a huge blow to the reputation he had managed to regain a little bit. lossy.
So he summoned the officials in Luoyang who were left behind and began to prepare for the allocation of military rations.
.......
Yang Ming came to Gaofu with the imperial decree.
When Gao Yan saw the apricot-yellow scroll held high in Yang Ming's hand, he, who was always unfazed by honor and disgrace, was stunned.
Yang Ming had a smile on his face. It was definitely not an imperial decree to punish him, but an imperial edict.
"What does Your Majesty want me to do?" Gao Jiong asked blankly.
Yang Ming handed the imperial edict to the other party and said with a smile: "I won't read the edict. Let Dugu Gong read it himself and make preparations in advance."
After that, Yang Ming left.
Gao Yan opened the scroll and after reading it, he let out a long breath.
Unexpectedly, he would still have the opportunity to fight on the battlefield.
Since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, Gao Jiong should be the leader in terms of his accurate control of the situation, his mastery of timing, his strict command of the troops, his ability to have an overview of the overall situation, and his mastery of strategizing.
The first contribution to the founding of the country and the first contribution to the destruction of Chen Dynasty are unparalleled.
At this point, all the lists for the expedition were finalized, and the military governments of all parties began to urgently allocate troops and horses, and the Weiwei Temple organized ordnance and supplies.
Yang Rui, the king of Hedong, who is only three years old, is about to prepare to host the court under the leadership of the princess.
Of course, it was mainly Yang Yue who assisted and coordinated the arrangements, which made Yang Ming feel relieved.
With Yang Yue in charge, there won't be any big problems in the capital. His son is related to Yang Yue by blood.
In the palace, Yang Rui has already started trying on court clothes.
The clothes don't fit well and need to be modified in many places. The head is too small and the crown is not stable.
Yang Yinjiang was busy for a while. When she saw her husband come in, with her hands on her hips and her big belly, she smiled and said:
"After beating him up, I put him in court clothes. It's really exhausting."
Yang Ming smiled and said: "The court clothes are not close-fitting and are uncomfortable to wear. It is normal for Yang Rui to resist. Take your time."
Three-year-old Yang Rui was very afraid of Yang Ming. After seeing his biological father come in, he behaved much better. This made Yang Yinjiang, an old mother, immediately dissatisfied:
"Okay, wasn't there a lot of fun just now? Why didn't you stop making fun when your grandpa came in? Who were you doing it for?"
Yang Rui remained motionless, his eyes darting around as he let his wet nurse change his clothes, just like a good boy.
Yang Ming doesn't think his method is scientific, but he just wants to do it.
Make your children respect you and fear you. If you make your children feel that nothing is worth fearing, then sooner or later they will go to heaven.
Yang Yinjiang thought so too, but she beat her and scolded her, but the child remained the same, because a child could understand in his heart who was treating him well.
After the prince was taken away, Yang Yinjiang said:
"The defense of the capital still needs to be handed over to the pharmacist and uncle Yang Yue. I don't worry about the others."
Yang Ming nodded: "This is natural, I will arrange it."
Before he left, he must make sure the capital was well settled. He was relieved to have Yang Yue in the court, but the garrison of the capital needed a trustworthy person to take control of the overall situation.
But we can’t all count on Li Jing.
Yang Ming will divide the capital garrison into four parts, 91, 92, 93, and 94, and hand them over to Li Jing, temporarily naming them the North City Guard General.
Those under 95 are temporarily led by Wannian County Magistrate Yang Yue, who serves as the garrison general of Nancheng.
City defense is temporarily in charge of Shi Xiang.
The military camp in the Jingzhao area was managed by Li Hun.
King Guan Yang Xiong took charge of the garrison and coordinated various ministries.
Yang Ming would feel at ease with such an arrangement, with clear powers and checks and balances.
But there is still a troublesome problem, Pei Shuying has to follow.
Yang Ming now begins to regret that he should not have agreed so happily, so that Pei Shuying has now begun to recruit people to prepare to go on an expedition with her husband.
The old Pei family was wealthy and powerful. Pei Shuying assigned herself a force of 1,000 Pei family children, including a hundred-person Detachment of Women. As a guard, Pei Shuying had already begun training at the racecourse on the outskirts of Beijing.
The Detachment of Women in history was Li Xiuning. Yang Ming did not expect that there was also a heroic girl among his wives.
But Yang Ming had already figured out how to deal with it. When he went to Zhangye and asked Pei Ju to detain his daughter, Yang Ming didn't want Pei Shuying to make any mistakes.
Next year, Yang Ming will have two more children, one is Yang Yinjiang's second child and the other is Li Xiuning's first child. Both children will be born in the fourth year of Daye.
Yang Ming shouldn't be able to wait any longer.
Xu Jing came over and told Yang Ming that Dugu Feng'er was looking for him.
Yang Ming suddenly felt dizzy.
Sure enough, when Dugu Feng'er saw him, she went straight to the point:
"Apprentices can go, so masters can go too, right?"
The apprentice she talks about is Pei Shuying.
Yang Ming looked confused: "Fighting on the battlefield is no child's play, why are you joining in the fun?"
"Shuying and I are different. She thinks she can charge into battle, but I think I can only serve as a guard for you."
Yang Ming was stunned and couldn't help but joked: "I didn't expect Feng'er to be so self-aware?"
Dugu Feng'er sighed quietly: "Because I'm worried about you."
Yang Ming was suddenly stunned...
Life is unbearably light, but love is so heavy.
