In the late winter of the tenth year of Daye, Yang Guang finally returned to the eastern capital Luoyang safely. However, as the king of a country, he was besieged in Yanmen City by hundreds of thousands of Turkic soldiers for almost two months, almost dead and alive, and undoubtedly lost all his face and inner brilliance.

Originally, Yang Guang had already been embarrassed by the failure of the Three Conquests of Goguryeo. Now he was slapped hard by Shibi Khan. The two emperors of the Great Sui Dynasty had accumulated over the past few decades. The people in the country no longer respected the emperor, and neighboring countries began to look down on the Great Sui Dynasty. Therefore, the country became more and more chaotic. The strong neighbors were ready to move. The Great Sui Dynasty, which had only been enjoying the country for more than 30 years, was already in internal and external troubles, and the storm was in turmoil.

Although Yang Guang was eager for quick success and instant benefits, he was stubborn and ambitious, he was undoubtedly an ambitious monarch. As a result, the incident of being surrounded by Yanmen was obviously very heavy on him. After returning to Luoyang, he obviously no longer had ambition and was even more addicted to pleasure. He numbed himself with a beautiful woman every day, and his temperament became more suspicious and moody. Palace maids, eunuchs, guards, and even concubines who were sleeping often suffered.

There are even rumors that the emperor injured Longgen when he was assassinated by the dragon boat, which was no longer humane or difficult to humane. Therefore, the concubines who were serving the bed would anger the emperor if they were not careful. Therefore, the sleeping bed was originally a hot commodity in the harem, and everyone was competing for the flip. As a result, it has become a hot potato. The concubines in the harem are afraid of being flipped.

This rumor is not groundless, it is evidenced, because since the emperor was assassinated and injured, no concubine in the harem has been able to conceive a dragon seed for more than a year.

"The two wastes, Yu Juluo and Tu Wanxu, have not wiped out Liu Yuanjin's gang of rebels in more than a year."

At this moment, Yang Guangzheng was furious in the Qianyang Palace. Because someone impeached Yu Juluo and Tu Wanxu, they were passive and lazy to fight and raised the enemy and respected themselves, they were unable to wipe out Liu Yuan in Jiangnan into a group of rebels.

In fact, Yu Juluo and Tu Wanxu were really unfair. Since they arrived in Jiangnan, they have worked very hard to encircle and suppress Liu Yuanjin, and they have won consecutive battles. However, the rebels have become more and more suppressed. They have dispersed and gathered again. They have dispersed and gathered again. They are like beating a gopher. They knocked here and there again, and they are knocked over there again. They are knocked over there again. They are tired and have no morale, so they have to stop and rest for a while.

As a result, problems immediately arose. A censor wrote a memorial to impeach him for being passive and lazy, and he was self-respecting, and had bad intentions.

Although there are many rebels in the Sui Dynasty who rebel in the Great Sui Dynasty, many of them have become kings, such as King Xuba of the Heavenly King, Supreme King Lu Mingyue, and King Ge Qian of Yan Ge Qian, only Liu Yuanjin dares to be the emperor, so Yang Guang is particularly concerned about this person, but Yu Juluo has not completely eliminated Liu Yuanjin after more than a year of suppression. In addition, Yu Juluo was born with a strange appearance, so he was originally suspicious of Yang Guang.

As a result, it was over. When Yang Guang saw the memorial of the Censor impeaching Yu Juluo, he was immediately furious and broke a piece of imperial inkstone in public.

At this time, there was a silence in Qianyang Hall. All the ministers were calm and no one came forward to ask Yu Juluo for advice. There was no way. Yu Juluo was arrogant and had a bad temper. He offended many people and called him few people. There was no minister who had good friends in the court, so naturally no one would speak for him.

Yang Guang glanced at the ministers in the hall in a cold look and said sternly: "The censor impeached Yu Juluo and Tu Wanxu for being passive and lazy in fighting, and raised the enemy and respected himself. What should the beloved ministers do?"

Yu Shiji, the assistant minister of the Inner History, immediately went out of duty and said righteously: "Yu Juluo and Tu Wanxu led 30,000 elite troops, but even a small rebel could not be wiped out. There is definitely a problem with it. I think it should be thoroughly investigated."

Yang Guang nodded and said, "Okay, where is Dali Sizhi?"

Liang Jingzhen, the Dali Sizhi, immediately left the rank and said, "I am here!"

Yang Guang said in a deep voice: "I ordered you to go to Jiangnan to dismiss Yu Juluo and Tu Wanxu on the spot to investigate and investigate. The Jiangdu County Chief Wang Shichong took over Yu Juluo and led his army to encircle and suppress the rebel Liu Yuanjin."

Liang Jingzhen hurriedly said: "I will receive the order."

"Where is the Huangmen Minister?" Yang Guang shouted again.

Pei Ju, the Huangmen Minister, hurriedly stepped out: "I am here!"

Yang Guang waved his hand and said, "Pei Aiqing immediately drafted an order."

The Huangmen Minister is equivalent to the emperor's personal consultant and secretary, and Pei Ju is very literary and Yang Guang's many imperial edicts are written by him.

So Pei Ju immediately drafted the imperial edict at the court, and Yang Guang took a look and framed it with a seal, and handed it over to Liang Jingzhen, the Dali Sizhi, to carry out the execution.

In just half an hour, the tragedy of Yu Juluo and Tu Wanxu, the few remaining two powerful generals in the Sui Dynasty, was concluded, and this move was undoubtedly a destruction of the Great Wall.

After dealing with Yu Juluo and Tu Wanxu, Yang Guang picked up another memorial, opened it and looked at it, his cold face cleared a little, and nodded and said, "Very good, Gao Changqing, the general of Yingyanglang of Zhuo County, did not disappoint me."

It is obvious that this memorial was just Gao Bufan. He reported to Yang Guang about the elimination of the Xi people who were invading the south and requested the repair of the Xikou Great Wall.

"Gao Changqing, the general of Yingyang Lang of Zhuo County, defeated more than 5,000 Xi thieves, killed more than 2,000 cavalry, captured more than 1,000 people, and captured more than 1,000 people. He also captured the Yaoli tribe and Mei Ge tribe of Xi, and shot and killed Bode tribe of Qi Jin. Now he is ordering people to escort the prisoners to Luoyang to offer prisoners to me. What do you think I should reward me?" Yang Guang rarely smiled.

Speaking of which, Yang Guang was slapped by Shibi Khan not long ago, and lost all his face. Gao Bufan killed the Xiren so hard that he even captured two people alive and shot one of them. This undoubtedly brought back some face to Yang Guang, so Yang Guang's depressed mood was inevitably relieved.

Yu Shiji is the best at observing his words and expressions. When he saw the wind, he immediately came out to praise Gao Bufan for his bravery and good at fighting. It is not an exaggeration to reward him. Other ministers also agreed upon it when they heard this. After all, if the emperor was in a bad mood, everyone would be sad. Now there is a rare thing that makes the emperor happy. Naturally, they flattered and praised the emperor for his wise eyes. In the end, the Xiren was as if Yang Guang was directly pressed to death by beating a cattle across the mountain.

Yang Guang was very happy and smiled and said, "Transfer to my will, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs will allocate 10,000 taels of funds to repair Xikou Pass City. In addition, Gao Changqing was promoted to Yuyang County and to control Anle County. He will continue to serve as the General of Yingyang County General of Zhuo County. He will also be rewarded with 500 gold, 100,000 yuan and 200 pieces of silk."

"The emperor is wise!" The ministers immediately knelt down and shouted.

Yang Guang raised his hand and signaled everyone to calm down. In fact, he didn't like Gao Bufan. The reason why he rewarded so well was to give Yang Qingruo face and to boost morale. What's more, he had just dealt with Yu Kuluo and Tu Wanxu. In order to show that he had a clear distinction between rewards and punishments, he naturally had to give Gao Bufan more generously, and Gao Bufan did give him face.

After the court dispersed, the ministers dispersed one after another, and the Ganyang Palace returned to quietness and coldness. A shadow flashed in silently and fell to his knees in front of the imperial throne.

Yang Guang asked lightly: "What do you want to report back?"

"Yu Juluo sent someone to pick up his family from Luoyang yesterday."

Yang Guang's eyes turned cold and said, "Does this rebel minister really want to rebel? I'll capture them all."

"Yes!" the man on the ground responded, but he still knelt down and didn't move.

"There's something else?"

"The general Yingyang Lang of Zhuo County now has more than 5,000 troops, and they are still recruiting troops."

Yang Guang frowned and said indifferently: "It is amazing to defeat the five thousand Xi cavalry with five thousand troops. Is there any more?"

Yang Guang obviously didn't care too much about this. Five thousand troops were not too strong, and Gao Bufan's memorial had already explained the reason for recruiting soldiers. If Yang Guang had to deal with five thousand Xi cavalry, it would be no problem to recruit 10,000 or 20,000 troops, so Yang Guang didn't take it seriously. He still had this kind of mind.

The man on the ground said again: "Zhuo County Yingyang Mansion is now very popular in the local area, and the people are rushing to join. Moreover, General Gaolang is also deeply supported by local geniuses. The seven surnames of Youyan donated money and horses. The seven surnames of Youyan alone and the Cui family in Qinghe donated tens of thousands of taels of silver to repair the Great Wall of Xikou."

Yang Guang said expressionlessly: "Is there any?"

"Fanyang Lu family donated five hundred horses to Yingyang Mansion, and the other six surnames also donated nearly five hundred horses. Now the Yingyang Mansion in Zhuo County has two thousand light cavalry."

Yang Guang's face slowly cooled down: "Is there any more?"

"The chief manager of the Cui clan of Qinghe has a good relationship with the General Gaolang, and the Cui clan of Qinghe has an iron ore in Anle County."

"Is there any?" Yang Guang seemed a little impatient.

"Rumor Gao Lang killed a black dragon, and the star was reincarnated!"

The crow's feet at the corners of Yang Guang's eyes slowly wrinkled together, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's interesting, I want to see the black dragon. Do you have anything else to report?"

"General Duan's encirclement and suppression of Wang Xuba did not go smoothly!"

"Yang Xuangan's former plot leader Li Mi appeared in Wagang and offered two thousand war horses to the thief leader Zhai Rang."

Yang Guang's face darkened: "Where does the horse come from?"

"Li Mi used a trick to deceive nearly half of the war horses while Cui's family in Qinghe was handing over the horses to the east."

Yang Guangwei was stunned and said, "How to cheat me?"

"Li Mi made people dress up as Shao Qingyu of Taipu Temple, and cheated the horse away halfway."

"It's extremely stupid. The lost war horse was asked to be added to Cui Shi of Qinghe." Yang Guang said coldly: "Is there any?"

"No more!" The man on the ground shook his head.

"Get back!" Yang Guang waved his hand, and the man flew away.

Yang Guang looked at the beams of the hall thoughtfully. After a long time, he spread a piece of rice paper, picked up a pen and wrote an imperial edict, appointing the General of the Hu Ben, and the governor of Liucheng, Luo Yi, as the governor of Beiping County, and was in charge of Liucheng County.

Beiping County is located to the east of Yuyang County, guarding the two major passes, Lulongsai and Linyu Pass (Shanhaiguan). Both of these passes leading to the Liaodong Plain, among which Linyu Pass is particularly important.
