Sui and Tang Dynasties: Beginning with Overlord Inheritance

At the same time, the Chang'an area.

Yang Zhao held the court meeting for the first time without Yang Guang sitting in charge.

Early in the morning, when the morning time was approaching, Su Wei, Pei Yun and other civil and military officials had already arrived.

After that, the rest of civil and military personnel also arrived one after another, standing in two rows of civil and military personnel.

"See Your Highness."

When Yang Zhao came out from the side door of Daxing Hall, everyone shouted in unison.

"Exemption."

Yang Zhaoduan sat under the dragon chair and said.

Today's court meeting is announced to begin.

"Your Highness, I have important matters to report."

Wang Shichong took the lead and said.

Except for him, some civil and military officials all looked a little dignified.

Just by looking at it, Yang Zhao knew that the rebel army must have moved, and the garrisons or county magistrates in various places had noticed it.

"Ah."

Withdrawing his thoughts, Yang Zhao nodded and signaled Wang Shichong to report directly.

"Your Highness, there are changes in the rebels everywhere."

Wang Shichong said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, the faces of Su Wei and others changed slightly.

"Ah."

Yang Zhao nodded slightly, indicating that he knew.

"Your Highness, this is not a trifling matter. Any changes in the rebel army must have something to do with His Majesty's going south."

Su Wei hurriedly came out.

"Yes, it is very possible to attack His Majesty, or attack Chang'an."

Pei Yun followed closely behind.

Yes, there are two possibilities.

After all, with the army going south and Chang'an's troops reduced, the rebels might indeed take the opportunity to attack.

"In my opinion, it is more likely to attack Chang'an."

Wang Shichong guessed.

"Why?"

Su Wei and others asked.

"Your Majesty brought 40 troops to the south, including [-] Xiaoguo Guards. The fighting power is not small."

Wang Shichong explained.

"In other words, 40 troops are missing in the Guanzhong area of ​​Chang'an. Isn't this a good time for the rebels?"

He continued to groom.

"My lord Wang is right."

After hearing this, the rest of the people expressed their opinions one after another.

"Your Highness, please immediately transfer troops to Chang'an, and observe His Majesty's movements at any time."

Su Wei hurriedly persuaded him.

"My minister agrees."

The rest of civil and military have echoed.

"As far as the rebels are concerned, there are no waves."

Yang Zhao said lightly.

"Your Highness, you"

Su Wei froze for a moment.

"Let's wait for the next step of the rebels. We can't act rashly at the moment."

Yang Zhao explained.

"Before the enemy moves, we will move first. Don't we have to be controlled by others?"

He continued.

"What Your Highness said is very true, the minister was too anxious just now."

Su Wei patted his head and said.

"Aside from the movements of the rebels, is there anything else to report?"

Yang Zhao asked.

"Your Highness, although there is plenty of food in the Sui Dynasty, there will be a day when it will be exhausted."

Su Wei came out and said.

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhao understood.

Su Wei wanted to report something about the granary.

The Battle of Goguryeo consumed a lot of food.

Coupled with the rampant rebels, people in many places have given up their farmland.

The current grain output of the Sui Dynasty has been far weaker than before.

Once this situation is allowed to continue, it will lead to a decline in national strength.

"About the recovery of grain land?"

Yang Zhao asked.

"Yes."

Su Wei was stunned for a moment, but still replied.

The reason why he was stunned for a moment was that Yang Zhao would not think of it.

From this point of view, what Yang Guang said was right.

For a long time, it was Yang Zhao who was dealing with government affairs.

"Don't worry, we'll talk about it later."

Yang Zhao said lightly.

Hearing this, Su Wei was at a loss.

During today's court meeting, Yang Zhao was almost unsure about anything.

Is it because you know everything and have a plan, or do you not know where to start?
"Retreat."

Yang Zhao stood up,

After speaking, he left towards the side door.

After Yang Zhao left completely, all the civil and military personnel left from the main hall.

Yang Zhao returned to the East Palace to deal with government affairs.

At the same time, Xu Maogong and Shen Lian were summoned.

"See Your Majesty."

Xu Maogong and Shen Lian saluted.

"Exemption."

Yang Zhao replied.

"What about the situation of the army going south, and the situation of the rebels?"

Yang Zhao looked at Shen Lian and asked.

"Returning to my lord, the army going south has left Guanzhong and is approaching Siping Mountain."

Shen Lian replied first.

"Ah."

Yang Zhao nodded slightly upon hearing this.

According to this pace, it is not surprising.

"The rebel army gathered in Jiangling, and they also sent troops to Siping Mountain. The number of troops is estimated to be about 70."

Shen Lian replied.

Xu Maogong on the side gasped when he heard this.

He never thought that the rebels would dispatch such a huge force.

"Your Highness, it seems that the rebels have bet a lot on this ambush."

Xu Maogong said in a deep voice.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter how much they bet."

Yang Zhao sneered.

"Go back."

Then he looked at Shen Lian.

"promise."

The latter took the order and evacuated from the East Palace Hall.

"Xu Maogong, how do you think we can maximize the elimination of these daring rebels?"

Yang Zhao asked directly.

"Your Highness, I only know that you have eliminated the Shenji Camp and the Modao Army. They alone cannot eliminate the rebels to the maximum extent."

Xu Maogong said.

"This palace knows."

Yang Zhao replied.

"My subordinates suggest that [-] garrisons from Wagangzhai be dispatched to Siping Mountain, and at the same time, the garrisons in Yangzhou and Qijun should be ordered to intercept the retreat of the rebels."

Xu Maogong said.

In this way, the Sipingshan battle is over, and even if the rebels retreat, they will suffer a blow.

"As I wish."

Yang Zhao pondered.

"However, on this basis, we will deploy more troops to destroy Zhu Can, one of the rebels."

He made a point.

"Could it be that His Highness wants to?"

Xu Maogong was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly reacted.

Yang Zhao wanted to take the opportunity to destroy Zhu Can in Nanyang area and regain Nanyang area.

In fact, Zhu Can's strength is not great, many people may be confused, and he can take this opportunity to deal with Xiao Xian or Li Zitong and others.

Is it necessary to deal with Zhu Can who is basically on the move?
In fact, the point is not the strength of the rebel army, but the anger and grievance of Zhu Can's actions.

This guy likes to eat human flesh, and he is the most hated rebel by the people.

Killing Zhu Can can regain the hearts of the people in Nanyang.

At the same time, using Nanyang as a springboard, we can attack the Jiangling area at any time.

Thinking about it this way, eliminating Zhu Can would bring a lot of benefits.

Xu Maogong is a smart man, so he quickly thought of this.

"good."

Yang Zhao responded directly.

"Now send someone to issue a military order immediately, telling Qi County and Yangzhou garrison generals to leave Zhu Can to Luo Cheng to do."

Yang Zhao ordered directly.

"promise."

Xu Maogong took the order.

As for the decline in food productivity, Yang Zhao will do it after fighting the rebels.

After regaining the hearts of the people and making the people believe in the Sui Dynasty, it became much easier to restore grain productivity.

"Use this battle to completely change the ending of the Sui Dynasty."

Yang Zhao murmured.
