Chapter 472

(Thanks to henryhuang, Dashuihuo, Chen Dagu, and Xiaobei for their support, thank you!)

In March, the capital is full of grass and birds flying, and the willows are blowing through the embankment, and the spring is in full bloom.

During the morning court, Yang Jian said happily to the ministers, "There are frequent reports of good news in front of him. On the western front, Yang Su and Datou encountered the north of Lingzhou. Datou led more than 100,000 cavalry to attack, but could not break through the defense line of Duke Yue. In the middle, the prince, Gao Jin, He Ruobi, and Han Sengshou led a 150,000 army to surround Yunyun, block the entrance of the Great Wall, and cut off the Turks' way back. And the better news was that Yang Lin, the marshal of the Eastern Road, deliberately showed weakness and lured the Turks into the two prefectures of Weigui in Daibei, and then went out in four strange troops to defeat the Turks. At present, 20,000 Turks have been annihilated, 30,000 prisoners, and successfully surrounded the 30,000 Turks defeated troops in Guizhou. The 30,000 Turks are already in the jar. Dear ministers, the situation of the Northern Expedition is very good."

"God bless my Great Sui Dynasty, God bless Your Majesty!"

"I am going to congratulate Your Majesty!"

"Hahaha, hahaha!" Yang Jian smiled long, smiling happily, and his mood that had been suppressed was starting to be happy today.

"Tell the good news of the Eastern and Central Army of the Army, and let him seize the opportunity to defeat Datou." Yang Jian smiled with his happy fingers on the imperial case, "Transfer the order to the prince and grandson, so that they must speed up their actions and defeat the 100,000 invading Turkic troops in the Great Wall as soon as possible, and soldiers out of the Great Wall as soon as possible and sweep the grassland. Tell them that I am waiting for them to triumph in Daxing City."

Today's morning ceremonies are very good and warm. Yang Jian was also very happy in the court. However, when he returned to the Ganlu Hall, the joy on his face gradually faded away. Instead, it was a gloomy. On his imperial case, there was an open memorial, which had been read by him dozens of times. Every time he read it, Yang Jian's face became ugly. The memorial was made by King Jin, the general manager of Bingzhou, who is now in Jinzhou.

Yang Guang sent it. The content of the memorial was shocking, and the detailed comments were made about the Daibei victory he had just claimed in the hall today. The Turks easily captured the Great Wall of the Turks and captured Yunnei. Yang Yong, Gao Yang, He Ruobi and others did not take any early defense in advance, which made the Turks break through the Great Wall as if they were in a no-man's land, and easily captured Yunnei, an extremely important northern land of Yunnei. Then Gao Yang held troops and Mayi again, which made the Turks win.

The Eastern Army, which was only reserved for troops, had to withstand the fierce attack of 200,000 Turkic troops in this battle, had to withstand the fierce attack of 200,000 Turkic troops in one day. The Emperor Taisun sent more than a dozen urgent letters for help, but Gao Jinhe Ruobi had a 250,000 elite army of the middle route, but he was reluctant to send troops. This forced Taisun to deal with the Turkic army alone. In the end, thanks to Taisun's calm response

, first showed weakness, then used surprise troops to defeat them in different directions, and finally achieved the victory of Daibei, annihilated 20,000 enemies, forced 30,000 submissions, and besieged 30,000. Gao Jin was not until the war was clear. At this time, he immediately led 150,000 troops to He Ruobi to quickly move north, and Shanshan arrived late to pick peaches. Yang Guang's memorial was written in great detail, and each thing indicated the cause and effect. He even listed a lot of evidence.

In fact, Yang Guang's memorial was not needed at all. How could Yang Jian not pay attention to such an important national war? I am not clear about it. As soon as the Northern Expedition Plan was determined and the various armies were mobilized, Yang Jian had already inserted all his spies into various armies. The movements of various troops and horses were shaking. Yang Jian could quickly learn about the situation. In fact, Gao Yangdun's army and Mayi were not moving forward. He already knew it later, so the Turks swept across Daibei. He also knew it very quickly, but he just didn't start immediately. Such a big war, he knew its importance.

He also knew that Gao Yang was capable of commanding troops. In addition to the failure of the expedition to the east, Gao Yang never had any accidents. He did not want to interfere with Gao Yang in order to avoid causing chaos in command and causing greater trouble. In fact, he thought carefully for a long time and tried hard to guess the purpose of Gao Yang's behavior. Finally, he concluded that Gao Yang's move was nothing more than two. First, the Turkic army was extremely sharp, and they were all cavalry, with very strong mobility. They came very quickly. If Gao Yang led his troops north to fight against the Turks on the front line of the Great Wall, although they could also block the Turks, they could attack.

It is more difficult to defeat the Turks or even defeat the Turks. After all, the Sui Dynasty has not had a strong operation on the outer Great Wall line. It is just a buffer zone with sparse populations, broken cities and few soldiers. In this generation of battles, the Sui army lacked enough cities to rely on, but also put great pressure on logistics and lacked geographical advantages. If the Daibei line is abandoned and the Turks are led to Yanmen, Loufan and Mayi, then the Sui army will no longer have difficulties in logistics supply, and secondly, there will be a solid city to rely on.

Waiting for hard work. The Turks came to the south, galloping all the way, and therefore staying away from the grassland, which was also a big problem for their logistics. At the same time, the most important issue was that the Sui army could defend first and then attack. When the Turks were no longer energetic, the Sui army launched a large-scale counterattack. At that time, even if the Turks wanted to run, they were hundreds of miles away from the grassland, but the road was not so easy to run. Moreover, when Gao Yang lured the enemy south, he stationed on the line of Mayi, Yanmen, and at the same time, he could also send troops out of Weizhou to the north of Shuozhou to encircle the Turkic army. This was the best way to annihilate the Turkic army in one fell swoop.

Of course, if Gao Yang really had just planned this way, then he could tell Yang Lin in advance, or even tell himself, but he did not. And when the Turks did not attack Mayi as he wished but went east, he did not send troops immediately. Gao Yang still did not advance in Mayi, which was obvious. He adjusted his strategy and obviously wanted the Eastern Army of the Emperor Taizong to fight hard with the Turkic army first, fight the Turkic spirits, and drag them exhausted. Then Gao Yang sent troops north and surrounded the Turkic people in Daibei and annihilated it. It was obvious that Gao Yang wanted to use Taizong to annihilate the Turkic army, but also obviously had the intention to use the Turkic hands to weaken the Taizong's strength.

He had long heard that the relationship between the prince and the grandson was very tense. Although the grandson asked Yang Lin to be the grandson, Yang Lin had always maintained an almost neutral attitude in the struggle between the prince and the King of Jin. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that the prince and Gao Yang wanted to use the Turks to teach the grandson a lesson, and their method of teaching might be to weaken the grandson's strength, which forced him to pay attention to the prince's words in the future. On the other hand, Gao Yang could win this battle more easily.

Yang Jian didn't like this conclusion. He could guess that it could never be the meaning of the prince. It must be entirely from Gao Yang's hands. Perhaps He Ruobi and Han Sengshou's participation. But he didn't like it, but when it comes to the Northern Expedition, Yang Jian finally put all of this in his heart. He resisted not is issuing an order to urge him to advance. If he just sacrificed some Eastern Army troops, he could get rid of 200,000 Turkic invading troops, Yang Jian thought it was worth it. As for Gao Yang's actions that were too bold, he might as well wait until the victory of this battle before calculating with him.

But Gao Yang probably didn't expect that the end of the matter would be like this. Even Yang Jian himself, when he returned to the front line, he didn't care about it at all. He killed 20,000 enemies, reduced 30,000, and besieged 30,000. Faced with the siege of 150,000 troops of the three armies, Taisun not only firmly blocked the Turks west of Taihang and blocked them into Hebei, but also finally broke two of the three armies. What a rare record, it is particularly difficult to obtain. He has very few casualties, not only has no losses, but also has 30,000 Turkic surrendered troops, and his strength has increased greatly.

Yang Jian had to admit that he was still a little too underestimated by Yang Lin. If he had known that he had such ability, he would have let Yang Lin take over the position of King Jin as the coach.

However, with this battle, many problems that were not noticed were exposed.

The strength of the crown prince Yang Lin in Huaihuang was far beyond his understanding. The secret reports sent back from the north made him gradually enhance his understanding of the strength of the grandson bit by bit. The two field cavalry soldiers, Huyi and Yingyang, had a population of 20,000. There were four field infantry troops, Huaihuang, Yuyi, Chengde, Xuanwu, and the organization of the sixth battalion and fifth regiments of each army, had 20,000, and four field infantry soldiers, and 80,000. In addition to these six field infantry and cavalry soldiers, Huaihuang had five more

Each town garrison garrison has several military towns and garrison forts, with 12,000 troops and 60,000 troops in the fifth army. In addition, according to his information, the Royal Grandson has a large number of inspection departments, patrol teams, security teams, urban management teams, security teams, etc. in Huaihuang, which are simply varied. In short, Huaihuang has a sense of the whole people being soldiers. These soldiers are similar to the village militia. They have regular training every year and can be trained and convened during wartime. It is said that these various teams in Huaihuang belong to the reserve team, and there are tens of thousands of people in total.

Even if he ignored these security guards, urban management, public security and other reserve teams, Yang Lin still had the military force that shocked him in Huaihuang. One hundred thousand field troops and sixty thousand garrison troops were unimaginable. It is hard to imagine that this was pulled up in the short term in the fortress. It is said that when Taisun entered the capital, the field troops in Huaihuang were only about 100,000 in the third field, three guards and six armies. In just a few months, Taisun's troops had almost doubled.

Taisun is very rich, and he basically uses this money to support soldiers.

Not long ago, he gave Yang Lin another territory in the thirty-two states of Youzhou. Now Yang Lin is famous, soldiers, money and territory.

Yang Jian was hesitant and restless, like a thorn in his back, Yang Lin made him feel a little out of control.

He is now the crown prince and the crown prince of the country. If he wants to depose Yang Yong and establish Yang Guang, Yang Lin is afraid that the first one will not agree. (To be continued)
