Chapter 389 Millions of bravery

Chapter 389 Million-Royal

It has been five months since Fang Jie left Chang'an, and now there have been more than 800,000 civil warriors gathered in Gyeonggi Province. These young and strong men from all walks of life in the Central Plains, with fame but ambitions and ambitions immediately, left their homes, carrying weapons and patriotic, some traveled hundreds of miles, and some traveled thousands of miles outside Chang'an City.

These brave men were divided into army, battalion, and team according to the organization of the war soldiers.

According to the ancestral system of the Great Sui army recruitment, the families of the soldiers are all military and have certain privileges. Unless necessary, the candidates for the soldiers will never be selected from the people other than the military. This time, the recruitment of brave men can be registered. Over 17 years old and under 40 years old, no record of committing crimes, and those with innocent family backgrounds can join the army.

Several acropolis outside Chang'an City have become huge training grounds.

However, the number of people who signed up for the army was still increasing. Young and strong men who came from all over the country with dreams of military merits continued to enter Gyeonggi Province. The official roads were men who were rushing towards Chang'an, wearing simple leather armor they made and holding knives forged in rural blacksmith shops. Some were leading horses, some were leading mules, and some were leading donkeys.

No one thinks that war is cruel. What they see in their eyes is a golden future. In peaceful times, they can only farm and business, and they cannot change their destiny with their own abilities. But when the war comes, they suddenly find a golden road that appears in front of them.

They are all ordinary people and have never seen the blood flowing on the battlefield.

They only remember the regrets in their ancestors and parents' hearts, and only look forward to a bright future. They all came from the fame and fortune because of that sentence, but who would not want to become a general who was immediately in a vain?

At this time, Luo Yao, the name of this person was mentioned countless times.

When people talk about it, they often say, you see, Luo Yao was just a poor child from a poor family back then. If it weren't for the war, he might have been grazing sheep on the hillside of his hometown in the northwest, or carrying a hoe to weed the fields. Because of the war, this originally ordinary farmer boy became a big man who was destined to leave a strong mark in the history books of the Great Sui Dynasty.

He is not from a military family, but he has won many battles on the battlefield with his courage?

When the young men arrived in Gyeonggi Province, everyone's face was excited. They deliberately forgot that they might die in the northwest, and that there were bones piled up behind every successful person in history. They all felt that they had the opportunity to become that successful person, and others were the corpses.

The generals of each guard sent many veterans to train these brave men. The veterans tried to tell the young people that war was not a joke. But no one really listened to it. To them, the stories of flesh and blood told by the veterans were very good. They made their blood boil and their hearts filled with fighting spirit.

Even if the treasury of the Great Sui Dynasty was full, the food and grass could still be supplied, and the money was barely enough to pay, but the equipment was obviously difficult to collect. After the screening, more than 800,000 brave men were left behind, and the treasury of the Ministry of War was almost empty and not enough for each of them to get a piece of leather armor.

Over the past few days, the emperor's mood seemed to have improved a lot. Because of his call, the men of the Great Sui Dynasty came. No one was afraid or resisted, and they were all willing to sacrifice their lives for this empire. So the haze in the emperor's heart was gradually replaced by passion. He would occasionally climb up the towering wall of Chang'an City and look down at the bravery below. At this time, he was sure that as long as he reached out and pointed forward, these men would scream and rush towards the direction he pointed.

This is undoubtedly exciting, isn't it?

He is the supreme emperor and the helm of this empire.

Although he has not grown old, he has not felt this kind of surging feeling for many years.

"With such a person, what else am I worried about?"

He said with a smile.

The walls of Chang'an City are too high. Standing on top and looking down at the outside of the city, the people below appear very small. So the emperor could not see those brave men fighting for a place to sleep, they could not see anyone who dared to sneer at the veterans, nor did they see someone stealing the few silver from the backpacks of the people around him in the random manner.

He only saw hundreds of thousands of people coming for him.

"The people of the Great Sui Dynasty are willing to sacrifice their lives for His Majesty at any time."

Pei Yan, the Huangmen Minister, pushed the glasses on his nose, leaned over and said with a smile.

He was very satisfied with the little gift Fang Jie gave him, and it was obvious that the young man was very attentive. He had only talked to Fang Jie once, and Fang Jie must have seen his eyes that were not very good. He reviewed memorials in the small houses of the inner court all year round. Even if the lights were brighter, his eyes were still blurry after years of watching things.

These glasses are very good, making him look much clearer.

He knew that the emperor had one, and he was sent to him.

He did not hide the glasses from the emperor to see them. On the contrary, he deliberately let the emperor see them. Sometimes he let the emperor remember a person's name, and there is no need to say it. The gadget carried on his nose made him remember the young man who was locked in the left vanguard by Luo Yao.

"Luo Yao's left vanguard has arrived at Huangyang Road."

Pei Yan whispered: "The defense has been set up on the south bank of Huangniu River. If there is a left vanguard here, there is no need to worry about Huangyang Road. The imperial army has set out, and only if it is necessary to attack Hexi Road, the rebels will never be able to stop His Majesty's power."

"You came up with a good idea at the beginning."

The emperor smiled and said, "You said you don't need to mobilize people to station in Huangyang Road, because Huangyang Road is the barrier of the four southwest roads. No matter whether Luo Yao has a rebellious heart or not, he will not sit idly by and watch Huangyang Road lose his promise. I sent someone to send an order to dispatch 100,000 troops. I had long expected that Luo Yao would not divide his troops and would immediately lead his troops north. I can't believe this person, but the southwest still cannot do anything. I think what you said a while ago is very reasonable. Luo Yao has not rebelled, and he will not do anything. If he rebelled, he will do anything."

"In the past, in order to prevent him, he mobilized people to harbor Jiangnan. Now, thinking about it, did you force Luo Yao and I to go further and further away?"

"Your Majesty's Holy"

Pei Yan said: "Luo Yao went north to Huangyang Road, which not only dispersed the rebel forces, but also transferred Luo Yao from Yongzhou, killing two birds with one stone."

The emperor nodded and looked at the bravery under the city wall. His face was a little flushed, which was the excitement that was deliberately suppressed.

"I have lost 700,000 elite troops in the northwest. Li Yuanshan deceived me once. I admit that I was deceived by him, but I will not suffer such a loss for the second time. I have a place where the world is returned. The army of 700,000 is gone, and there are still 700,000 people and 70 million people serve me! Li Yuanshan thought the emperor could sit at will? I thought that as long as I occupied the tired places in the northwest, I could fight against me?"

"The foundation of the Great Sui Dynasty has lasted for thousands of years, and no ghosts can covet it!"

The emperor paused, then glanced at Pei Yan.

"You deliberately wear these glasses to help Fang explain?"

Pei Yan's face changed and he quickly lowered his head and said, "Of course, my little thoughts cannot be hidden from His Majesty's eyes."

The emperor snorted, "You know I hate opportunists the most, and court officials who are in charge of gangs."

"I dare not!"

Pei Yan bent down deeply.

"I know you don't have the intention. For so many years, you have been sitting in the inner court room to share my worries. You have a transcendent position in the court. If you want to form a clique and make private contributions, you will have been surrounded by countless flatterers."

"Glasses are very good. I have one, which is more beautiful than yours!"

He said something and turned around and left.

Pei Yan picked the corner of his mouth, and a trace of pride flashed in his eyes.

No one can grasp the emperor's mind more accurately than him.

...

...

General Xu Xiaogong and his men patrolled the camp, frowning all the time. These brave men did look very motivated, and they seemed to be unwilling to accept anyone. But in Xu Xiaogong's eyes, even if these brave men are not short of outstanding martial arts, they are just a mess of loose sand. I guess they were too optimistic at the beginning, thinking that after several months of training, even if these people cannot compare with the combat soldiers, they can at least abide by the basic military laws.

The first few soldiers trained were barely useful, and when they were pulled out, the queue was at least neat. Later, the quality of these people became more and more worrying. Among them, there were even many evildoers who spent money to issue a document to cleanse the people in the local government, and transformed from a gangster to a national soldier!

Such an army can really fight?

Xu Xiaogong, who has been leading troops for more than 20 years, was full of questions.

"Brother Xiaolian!"

Just as he was pondering, someone called him from behind.

Xu Xiaogong looked back and saw that it was the new General of the Left Wu Guard, Liu Enjing, quickly chased after him.

Liu Enjing was once a general of the Right Front Guard, but later he had to mourn for three years because of his father's death. The Zuo Wuwei rebelled, Yu Manlou was killed, and the emperor issued an order to rebuild the Zuo Wuwei, and Liu Enjing returned from seizing love. This man was also a veteran who had been in battle. When he conquered Shangguo, he was once considered the most promising young man in the army. However, decades have passed, and the young man who was young and strong back then has now gray hair.

He is less than fifty years old and looks like he has experienced many vicissitudes.

"Engu, why are you here too?"

Liu Enjing quickly followed up and hugged her fists: "It's not for the purpose of selecting soldiers. The Zuowu Guard has not been fully equipped. The military households have selected and have not collected enough people in one guard. They have to come to the Xiaoyong Camp to select people."

"well……"

Xu Xiaogong sighed: "It's hard for you."

Liu Enjing shook her head, took Xu Xiaogong's hand and walked aside: "Brother Xiaolian, why don't you tell Your Majesty that if these brave men are not restrained, trouble will happen sooner or later."

"explain?"

Xu Xiaogong smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty has issued three orders in a row, and he will be rewarded with bravery. In His Majesty's opinion, these bravery are the most loyal people. A while ago, there was a brave man causing trouble. Zuo Yuwei, a deputy general, cut off several people's heads according to the military rules. When His Majesty learned about it, he was furious and even gave the vice general twenty whips. Who dares to say?"

"Your Majesty's temperament seems to be becoming more and more incomprehensible in the past two years."

Liu Enjing lowered his voice and said, "Why, go find Pei Yan? I heard that Your Majesty trusts this person the most. If he is willing to say it, it might be useful. If this continues, even if there are many people, these brave men will be just a group of mobs. How can they be pulled to the battlefield to fight against the enemy?"

"Pei Yan?"

Xu Xiaogong snorted coldly: "If you have money, just go find him again."

"Over this year, His Majesty's thoughts have been about how to conquer the northwest. Most of the matters in the court have been handed over to Pei Yan. This man used to be fair and fair, but now he is becoming more and more greedy. Take Huang Yangdao's affairs as an example. According to the truth, he should have been dispatched to guard the troops, but His Majesty heard Pei Yan and said that he used the rebels to force Luo Yao to urge the left vanguard to go north to fight the enemy... Such demise... Such nonsense can be said!"

"Your Majesty is becoming more and more paranoid."

Liu Enjing sighed, "Although I have just returned to Chang'an for a short time, I can see that. Your Majesty now only has the northwest, and there are few other state affairs. Except for the northwest, Your Majesty spends most of the time teaching the prince... The prince is less than ten years old. I heard two days ago that Your Majesty has asked the prince to review the memorials. I can't figure out what happened to Your Majesty!"

"Maybe we're thinking too erroneously."

Xu Xiaogong was silent for a while and said, "The left vanguard has arrived at Huangyang Road. It is said that he is lined up along the Huangniu River to set up defenses. There are few people who can compare to Luo Yao's ability to lead troops. As long as he has no intention of being dirty, the rebels cannot win. His Majesty only has the prince as a descendant, so it is reasonable to value the prince..."

"Who knows..."

Liu Enjing shook her head: "I just hope this battle will be finished soon."

Xu Xiaogong nodded: "Da Sui, there can be no more trouble..."
