Zhu Changxiao's version of the Sui Dynasty

For several days, the lights in the palace were ringing, and Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian continued to dispatch soldiers and horses from all walks of life to the north of the Yangtze River to prepare for the battle against Chen. Seeing that it was past midnight that night, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty returned to Ning'an Hall with his eyes turning red.

Queen Dugu helped take off her dragon robe and asked:"Aren't all the troops and horses already on their way, why is Your Majesty still bothering so much?"

"Alas, the three armies are moving south, and the candidate for the head coach has yet to be decided."

"I think King Jin is a good candidate. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty said:"The King of Jin led the army several times, and he was indeed good at running the army. However, the one who will inherit the throne in the future is the prince. The prince has lived in the palace for a long time, so he must not understand the art of military control. I think this battle against Chen Let the prince take charge and practice for a while. Empress

Dugu said:"Now that's the time, it's okay to let Prince Jin stay with Concubine Xiao. Since Your Majesty already has an idea, why not issue an imperial edict and make the prince a commander?""

"I also have this intention.

While the couple were talking, a young eunuch came to report:"Your Majesty, Pei Ji, the Minister of Rites, has important military information to report." Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty had just sat down on the bed, and immediately stood up again:"Pass the order and ask Pei Ji to wait in the imperial study. Then he ordered Prince Yong, King Guang of Jin, Su Wei, and Gao Ji to enter the palace overnight to discuss the military situation.""

"Obey the decree. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, who had already taken off his clothes, asked Empress Dugu to take the dragon robe to change her clothes. When Empress Dugu saw Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, she immediately became energetic and asked:"

Pei Ji is a minister of the Ministry of Etiquette, how can he know about the urgent military situation?""

"The queen doesn't know. Pei Ji is a sharp sword that I planted in Nanchen. Please change your clothes quickly."Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty dressed up and returned to the imperial study.

The emperor's decree was passed down. King Yang Guang of Jin, his servant She Suwei on his left, and Gao Jiong on his right rushed to the palace overnight. Only the young eunuch who went to the East Palace to pass on the crown prince met. There was trouble.

The young eunuch named Zhen Wu who went to the East Palace came to the dormitory to ask for an audience. At this time, the Crown Princess Yuanshi had turned off the lights and went to bed. She heard that there was an oral message coming from the palace. Concubine Yuan was too lazy to get up and asked through the screen:" What's the important thing for the little father-in-law to deliver the edict late at night?"

"Reporting back to the Crown Princess, the Emperor sent the Crown Prince to the Royal Study to discuss important matters.

Concubine Yuan said:"The prince has not been in my room for two nights. He must have gone to Gao Liangdi's vixen's bedroom. Father-in-law, please go there to tell the prince.""

"Oh yes."

The young eunuch Zhen Wu left the main room and ran to the side hall to ask for a meeting with Gao Liangdi.

Gao Liangdi was the first concubine of Prince Yang Yong. When he heard that someone was coming to the side hall, he thought it was the prince who was coming, so he combed his hair. When she came out, Gao Liangdi asked,"Eunuch Zhen came to my place late at night. What's the big deal?"

Zhen Wudao:"The emperor has a decree to send the prince to the imperial study to discuss matters.""

"Who asked you to come to me? The prince hasn't been here for a long time. He must have gone to Wang Liangyuan's little bitch's room. The young father-in-law should go there to pass on the prince."After saying that, Gao Liangdi turned around and returned to her room.

The little eunuch Zhen Wu had no choice but to go to Wang Liangyuan's room. This Wang Liangyuan was the second concubine of Prince Yang Yong. As soon as he heard the eunuch's order from the imperial study room, he asked Zhen Wu Five:"Eunuch Zhen, you really think highly of me. I have been alone in the empty room for a long time, and the prince has been seduced away by that little bitch Cheng Liangji."

Zhen Wuyi saw that Wang Liangyuan didn't have a prince here, so he had to rush to Cheng Liangji's room again. Cheng Liangji was the third concubine of Prince Yang Yong.

I heard that she was the eunuch next to the emperor, and she cried and complained. Come:"Eunuch Zhen, oh my conscience, since I entered the East Palace, I have suffered all the difficulties from the Crown Princess. I have been crying all day long. How could the Crown Prince be in the room of a miserable person like me?""

Cheng Liangji pulled open the bed curtains and dragged Zhen Wu to see:"My father-in-law is here to testify, I am a miserable person who only guards the curtains. Can you tell the truth to the emperor?"

"Definitely, then do you know where the prince is?"

"No need to ask, it must be occupied by the Crown Princess alone again."

When the young eunuch Zhen Wuyi heard this, he said goodbye to Cheng Liangji like a collapsed seedling, and returned to the imperial study with no choice.

At this time, the imperial study was full of lights, and the king of Jin Yang Guang, Pushe Suwei on the left, and Su Wei on the right Servant Gao Jun and Minister of Rites Pei Ji had been waiting for a long time. When Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty saw the young eunuch Zhen Wu running back in a hurry, he was very suspicious and asked:"Where is the prince?" Why are you the only one back?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the slave did not find the Crown Prince in the East Palace."

"ah? Have you asked Concubine Yuan?"

"I have asked them all, and none of the four concubines, including the Crown Princess, Gao Liangdi, Wang Liangyuan, and Cheng Liangji, have ever seen the Crown Prince."

"this……"Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was stunned. In the middle of the night, in front of Yang Guang, Su Wei, Gao Jiong and Pei Ji, the three concubines in the East Palace did not know the whereabouts of the prince Yang Yong. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty suddenly turned pale and lost all face..

The right servant shot Gao Jiong, who was the most supportive of the prince. He bowed and said:"Your Majesty, don't worry. The prince is not in the East Palace late at night. There must be a reason for it. I will wait for the minister to go and find it.""

"No need! Emperor

Wen of the Sui Dynasty suppressed the anger in his heart and said:"The prince does not return home at night, which is inconsistent with the teachings. This is my family matter, and I will not bother you, my dear friends.""

Gao Jun wanted to help the prince explain clearly. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty waved his hand and said to Pei Ji:"If Pei Aiqing has any military information, tell me quickly. Pei

Ji presented a painting and said,"Wei Chen received a secret report from the south of the Yangtze River. The painting on this picture is the Jiang Defense Map of Chen Guo's navy." When he heard that it was a top-secret military plane, Emperor Wen of the

Sui Dynasty asked a few people to come over to watch. Pei Ji said:"This map has shown that in Jingnan, Chen Huiji, the emperor's uncle of the Chen Kingdom, led 30,000 boat divisions to cut off the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. In Hankou, general Zhou Luohu led the Fifty thousand soldiers guarded the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. In Jiujiang, the navy commander He Man led 20,000 people to guard it, and the defenders of Jiankang numbered as many as 100,000.

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty said:"With this river defense map, why worry about Chen's army not being defeated? I think this map can be sent to the commanders of the camps ahead."

Gao Jiong asked:"Your Majesty, there is still no commander in charge of the three armies?" Emperor

Wen of the Sui Dynasty said:"Master, there is no need to discuss it further. I have made my decision. I have ordered the King of Jin, Yang Guang, to be the general dispatcher of the world's troops. He will control all the troops in the southern expedition and choose a day to start the war.""

"I obey your orders!"Yang Guang, Su Wei, Gao Jun, and Pei Ji knelt down together and accepted the imperial edict. This is: if you don't return to the palace at night, you will laugh at Kongluan, and the playboy prince will lose his military power.

The palace war has never ended, and who can be the commander in chief? By the side.

In the morning of the next day, all the civil and military officials lined up on both sides, and they finished their prostrations. Only then did they see Prince Yang Yong hurriedly walked up to the Golden Palace, knelt down on his knees, and knelt down to worship the emperor.

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty asked:"As a prince, You weren't in the East Palace. What did you do last night?"

"My son knew his crime. He drank too much outside last night and stayed at the home of the principal, Yun Dingxing."

Prince Yang Yong didn't dare to tell the truth at this time. He spent several nights in Xiaofengshan Mingzhu Pavilion with Yun Zhaoxun. If Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty knew how to forgive him, he only made up the story that he slept in Yunding. Make a home

"snort! Yang Jian said angrily:"As a prince, how will you inherit the throne in the future if you stay away from home at night?" Please reflect on yourself in the future and never do such ridiculous things again"

"I realize my mistake and remember my father's teachings."

"You stood aside. Emperor

Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian said:"Qinghe Gong Yang Su once gave me a memorial. He listed nine strategies for me to conquer Chen. Today I will tell you all my dear friends that according to this plan, I will conquer Chen in the south." After Yang Jian finished speaking, he handed the memorial to the eunuch Wang Wentong and ordered him to read it out.

Wang Wentong read:"I am in Yong'an logging and building ships. I am waiting for the day to come. After careful consideration, I am now formulating a strategy for attacking Chen."

One: Chen's defense line runs through the east and west, so it is advisable to attack in two attacks, involving left and right, making it difficult for Chen's army to take care of its head and tail.

Second: The Sui army should send heavy troops from Wuzhou and Luzhou flanks, attack from the east and west, and besiege Health.

Third: Using Hankou as the fulcrum, cut off the Yangtze River water transport channel, so that Chen Guo’s naval forces from east to west cannot rescue each other.

Fourth: Now we have built a five-tooth boat, which is more than ten feet high. When crossing the river, we can fight with Chen Bing in the water.

Fifth: Chen Bing is good at water warfare, but there are many dangerous shoals in the Yangtze River. He should bluff on the water and lure the enemy into a fierce battle on land.

Sixth: Order Qingzhou soldiers and horses to go south along the East China Sea, land by sea, and copy Wuxian.

Seventh: Order craftsmen to make stone-shooting machines, drop huge rocks from the air, rush the city to evict the stronghold, and destroy everything.

Eighth: After the war begins, a pacifying edict should be prepared, and the people in Jiangnan should be distributed and surrendered, so as to break the hearts of the people.

Nine: Kong Fan, President Jiang, Shen Keqing, Shi Wenqing, etc., all the traitorous ministers of the Chen State, should all be beheaded. After listening to this strategy for attacking Chen, the civil and military officials of the court were whispering to each other. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian said:"Yang Su's performance is exactly what I want. A few days ago, I and Jin Wang Yang Guang, Zuo Pu She Su Wei, You Pu She Gao Jiong discussed the deployment of the three armies based on this strategy for attacking Chen. Let Gao Aiqing read it for you."

The right servant Gao Jiong took out the strategy and deployment, expanded it and read:

"In October of the eighth year of Kaihuang's reign, the three armies set off and reached Jiangbei. King Yang Guang of Jin was appointed Shangshu of Huainan Road and the general dispatcher of troops and horses in the world. He was appointed as marching marshal together with King Yang Jun of Qin and Yang Su, Duke of Qinghe. His right servant Gao Juong was appointed as marshal and chief envoy, commanding a total of 518,000 naval and army forces. Thousands of people, starting from Wuzhou in the east and ending at Yong'an in the west, were divided into eight groups along the Yangtze River and attacked Nanchen.

King Yang Jun of Qin led the navy and army from Xiangyang to station at Hankou; Duke Yang Su of Qinghe led the navy out of Yong'an and marched eastward to Jiangling, where he met Liu Ren'en, the governor of Jingzhou; King Yang Guang of Jin left Liuhe, and Han Qinhu, the general manager of Luzhou, left Luzhou, and Wu He Ruobi, the governor of the prefecture, went out from Guangling, Wang Shiji, the governor of Qizhou, led his navy out of Qichun to attack Jiujiang, and Yan Rong, the governor of Qingzhou, led his navy out of the East China Sea and copied Wuxian. Admire this."

After listening to Gao Jun read the strategy for conquering Chen, the prince Yang Yong standing aside had a pale face, full of regret, and did not dare to raise his head to see the emperor. He only heard Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty say:"This decisive battle across the river starts from the ocean in the east and reaches Bashu in the west. , spanning thousands of miles, unprecedented in ancient and modern times, and will remain in history forever. I want to have a decisive battle in the first month of the ninth year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign. From now on, all envoys from the Chen Kingdom will be detained without return, and the secrets will be sealed. Ten days later, a declaration of war was issued against Chen, and the three armies within the Pass marched across the Yangtze River to attack Jiankang!"All civil and military officials in the dynasty knelt down, kowtowed to the emperor, and shouted long live. After all the officials retired from the court, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian called the King of Jin Yang Guang to the imperial study, took a roster on the dragon desk, and handed it to Yang Guang Said:"The attack on Jiankang is of great importance. I appoint Yu Wenshu as the left concubine and Zhang Heng as the right concubine to assist you in the campaign against Chen. I also appoint Xue Daoheng as the minister of the Ministry of Personnel to supervise the civil and military officers. Pei Ji, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, is in charge of recruiting and recruiting rebels..

Yang Guang took the roster and asked,"Pei Ji is already old, how can he go out with the army again?" Yang

Jian said:"Pei Ji is a surrendered general of the Chen State. His son Pei Yun is serving as the general of the Zhige in the Chen State. He is willing to be an internal support. If father and son help each other, they will be able to defeat Jiankang.""

"It seems that my father has already secured victory!"Yang Guangda was happy, thanked the emperor for his kindness, and then prepared to go back to the house to pack up and prepare for the expedition. This led to the following:

The three armies marched into Pingnanchen, and they will be true only when they have been separated for a long time. The cavalry is constantly bustling, and the expedition is endless and chaotic.

The triumph is especially the case. If it snows this winter, the fighting will still take the next spring. China has been separated for hundreds of years, and the unification of Kyushu is at a critical moment.
