As the New Year approaches day by day, the city of Daxing suddenly changes. Suddenly, rumors are everywhere that the Sui Dynasty is going to send troops to attack the Turks and fight again.

An excitement, noise, and an atmosphere of anxiety and fear spread everywhere in the capital, spreading everywhere, spreading to the 109 fangs of the two cities of Daxing City, and into the neighborhood alleys. The colorful lanterns of the Lantern Festival, the peach talisman gods of the New Year, the new clothes, and the New Year's food, the original festive, joyful and peaceful atmosphere in Daxing City, which was preparing for the overwhelming clouds of war.

The people sighed that the war was coming, and they should go to war separately, pay for money, sweat, and die. The unusual thing that the emperor Yang Lin, who had just entered the capital, was suddenly cold and did not have the controversy that should have happened.

The powerful war machine of the Great Sui Dynasty also started quickly and effectively...quled. The Great Sui Dynasty actually started preparing for this battle several years ago. At present, it was just the last horn of the war and the gathering of soldiers. In Guanlong and nearby areas, the most elite military group of the Great Sui Dynasty began to mobilize. The soldiers of the Twelve Guards, which belonged to the Cavalry Mansion and the Cheqi Mansion, almost at the same time, received military orders from the Ministry of War and the General Mansion of the Guards.

They took out their own Mingguang armor and horizontal swords, bows and arrows from the bottom of their boxes, wiped armor and swords, and took donkeys and horses. The wives of the soldiers of the government set up robes for their husbands and prepared dry food. The families gathered together to fight. On the official roads of all sizes, there were troops gathered like ants everywhere, and they continued to gather like streams. Finally, a torrent of iron armor was formed. On the official road, flags were waving, people were vocal, swords and guns were like forests, swords and spears were like seas, and all the troops gathered from all directions and gathered towards the designated northern border.

When the New Year came, the soldiers gathered to send troops. Although the soldiers in the palace were resentful, the resentment was recorded on the damn Turks. The soldiers did not blame the court, the court gave them land and exempted their taxes. This stable life was hard-won. Therefore, when the Turks invaded the Great Sui Dynasty again, the court issued an order, and the soldiers in the palace were armoured and held their soldiers without regrets and walked to the battlefield. They were dressed in bright armor, strong, and powerful. They worked in the fields for many years, but their confident pride and spirit still did not fade away. Teams of infantry tied their hair and legs, slapped with bows and arrows, and surrounded the chariots with spears. Each car had more than ten or twenty infantry around, and there were teams of knights riding horses around the chariots and infantry.

The dust and sweat made the soldiers' faces dirty, and the yellow battle robes were covered with mud, but the guards selected from the Cavalry Mansion and the Bicycle Mansion under the various guards were still moving in an orderly manner. They had a simple gathering under the cities of various prefectures and formed temporary marching arrays. After arriving at the destination of the marching, they had to organize another pre-war organization. They formed battle camps. The horses were neighing, and teams of cavalry were trooping.

Continuously surpassing the chariots and infantry around them and rushed forward. They were wearing armor, energetic, galloping lightly, and pulled long queues on the crowded road. On the road, mules were pulled by horses and mules, pulling heavy weapons, tall stone throwing chariots, giant crossbows, and more civilians in short brown clothes were temporarily ordered to recruit them. They drove cattle and horses, pushed carriages, and transported trucks of food and grass to follow closely behind the march.

The imperial court has not yet come up with the result of who will be the commander of the battle against the Turks. However, the mobilization of troops and food transportation has begun. There have been countless small battles between the Great Sui and the Turks, and the war has also been held twice. There were two large-scale wars in the third year of Kaihuang and the seventh year of Kaihuang, especially in the third year of Kaihuang. The Turks had not yet split at that time, and the Turkic Khan mobilized 400,000 cavalry to attack, which was a fatal threat to the new Sui. Years of confrontation made the Great Sui become familiar with the battle with the Turks.

No matter who will take charge in the end or how to fight, the troops will be nothing more than soldiers who will block the water and flood the soil. Longyou, Daibei, and Youyun are the focus of the attack and defense of both sides. Therefore, the final battle strategy has not yet come out, but the troops have gathered according to past experience and according to the steps that the generals of the Ministry of War and the Weifu have studied over the years, and have organized themselves toward the three northern border centers of Liangzhou, Taiyuan and Youzhou.

Regarding this war, the emperor and the court both believed that this was a strategic decisive battle. Whoever wins this battle will be the master of the whole world in the next 20 or 30 years. Whoever loses this battle will lose the next 30 years. Therefore, Yang Jian did not dare to underestimate the enemy, but decided to do his best to face the reunited East and West Turks. Yang Jian urgently recruited 300,000 government troops to gather on the front lines of Longyou, Hedong and Hebei, and even recruited the same number of civilians to continuously transport grain and grass to the front line.

.300,000 troops were not all the troops that the Sui army had to invest in this battle. On the northern front line, which lasted thousands of miles long, the Sui army had always been stationed. From Liangzhou to Yingzhou, there were nearly twenty general managers on this northern defense line, accounting for more than half of the entire Sui army. The Youzhou general manager alone, the easternmost general manager, commanded more than 55,000 troops, and more than ten general managers on the entire northern defense line, with no less than 200,000 troops. At this time, 300,000 new troops were added. The troops mobilized by the Sui army this time reached more than 500,000.

The 500,000 troops were not all the Sui army. In this battle of the Great Sui army, there will be several assisting troops, namely Tuyuhun in Hexi, Tuli Khan, Tuyuhun Khan and Tuli Khan who had long been dependent on the Great Sui Dynasty, both married princesses of the Sui Dynasty, and Tuli also married two princesses one after another. Therefore, in this battle, they all stood on the side of the Great Sui Dynasty. The total number of troops under the Tuyuhun Khan and Tuli Khan can reach 200,000. In addition, in the northeast, Xi, Wu and Khitan Sanfan were also on the side of the Great Sui Dynasty. The Sanfan and Huaihuang Army, the new force on the frontier, were called 200,000 troops, but in fact there were no less than 50,000 troops to fight.

This is a war that affects the whole world.

Yang Jian originally paid attention to the president of this war, Gao Yang was the chief minister, and actually coordinated the army, and then transferred a prince to serve as the head coach, and then transferred several experienced Shangzhu Kingdoms to serve as the general managers of various routes.

However, until today, Yang Jian has not finally made up his mind to decide the entire battle command.

In this year's Eastern Expedition, Gao Yang Liang, King of Han Yang Liang and King of the Shangzhu Shiji led 300,000 troops to fight, but the result was so disappointing. Now this is a battle that concerns the future and destiny of the Sui Dynasty, and Yang Jian was unable to make up his mind to let Gao Yang command it. Gao Yang was an old minister who had assisted him for 20 years. Over the years, the prime minister has changed many people, but Gao Yang's position has never been shaken. It can be seen that Yang Jian once trusted Gao Yang. But now, Yang Jian's trust in Gao Yang is no longer as before.

Yang Jian once made a decision by himself, asking the prince to marry a woman from the Gaoyang clan as the second only to the crown prince's concubine. Later, he made a decision to promise the prince's daughter to Gaoyang's third son. It can be said that this arrangement is an extremely trust in Gaoyang, allowing Gaoyang to continue to be loyal to the crown prince in the future as if he was assisting him. However, later, it became increasingly difficult for the crown prince to satisfy Yang Jian and disappoint him more and more. However, while the crown prince was incompetent and mediocre, the King of Jin was so virtuous and talented, which made him have new considerations on the issue of successor to the empire.

.He wanted to change the deposit, but Gao Yang became the first blocking stone. Originally, Yang Jian had made up his mind and basically decided to choose a more capable heir for the Sui Dynasty. But the appearance of the eldest grandson made his idea a little shaken again. The ability of the eldest grandson made him happy. The prince was incompetent, but the eldest grandson of the emperor was a virtuous person. In addition, the current battle to promote the country forced Yang Jian to temporarily suppress the idea of ​​changing the deposit. At this critical moment, he must unite all his strength to win this war.

For these various considerations, while Yang Jian liked the eldest grandson, he unexpectedly issued an order to confer the eldest son Yang Lin as King Zhao. He intended to use this matter to reveal a message to the outside world that he did not have the intention to change the reserve, so as to calm the increasingly turbulent undercurrents in the court and the country in the capital.

To fight against foreign countries, we must first settle the internal situation. If the internal situation is unstable, how can we win the battle against the outside world?

Daxing Palace Daxing Hall.

At this moment, the three provinces and six ministries of the Great Sui Central Committee, the 12 Guards, the Five Temples and Five Prefectures and other civil officials gathered in the hall to discuss the war arrangements.

Yi Feng, who was newly promoted to the King of Zhao, went to the palace to discuss matters today, and was specially appointed as the governor of Yongzhou, the governor of the prime minister of the Jin Dynasty, and the title of Sikong. In a blink of an eye, Yi Feng became the most popular political star in the capital today. Not only became the first emperor grandson to be granted the king, but also was directly appointed as the governor of Yongzhou, becoming the chief executive of the entire imperial district of the Jingji region. At the same time, he also won the honorable medal of the Shangzhu Kingdom and the title of Sikong of the Three Dukes. In the main halls of civil and military affairs in the court, Yi Feng's position was second only to the crown prince and the king of Jin, and even ranked among the king of Shu, Yang Xiu and the king of Han.

Before Liang Liang, Yang Guang was the title of King of Jin, and also had the title of Grand Marshal of the Three Dukes. Although Yang Xiu and Yang Liang were also the title of King, they still had the title of Grand Marshal, but they did not have the title of honor as the Third Division and the Three Dukes. What's more, although the Yongzhou Mu was the same level as the Grand Marshal, his rank was one level higher than the Grand Marshal. Therefore, when the young Yi Feng stood in the third position under the imperial rank among the Zi Fei ministers in the court, he attracted many gazes. There was amazement, envy, and a strong sense of jealousy and hatred. (To be continued...)
