After Bujia Khan was escorted to Weilu City, the Sui army's strategic purpose was completely completed. Although the alliance tribes still need to be reunited, and the Sui Dynasty needs to be deterred by force, it is really not feasible for more than 100,000 troops to continue to stay in Mobei, where people eat what horses chew, and winter is approaching.
Huang Mingyuan ordered all his troops to go south, leaving only part of the army in Mobei to reduce logistical pressure.
First, on September 1st, Huang Mingyuan appointed Dong Chun as the acting army commander to take charge of all ministries and lead the entire Kansai Army, Yu Juluo led the entire Lingzhou Army, Liang Mo led the entire Guanbei Army, and Qiao Zhongkui led the entire Bingzhou Army, and escorted the battle. All the seized materials and tens of thousands of grassland women and children went directly south from Weilu City to Fengzhou; on September 15, Zheng Yanqing was ordered to lead two armies of Fengzhou Horse and Infantry Army, together with the entire Guanzhong Army led by Xue Shixiong, and the entire Daizhou Army led by Li Jing , set off south.
At this time, in the entire Mobei, Huang Mingyuan only left two armies of Fengzhou Army, Horse and Infantry, Shuozhou Army Cavalry and Dugulan Department, totaling nearly 30,000 troops. The Fengzhou Army and the Shuozhou Army are both northern armies, and it is appropriate to stay on the grassland. Huang Mingyuan needs to maintain enough power around him to intimidate all the grassland tribes, so that they dare not take any action, or they may even kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, causing another disturbance.
Seeing the armies marching out in sequence, Dugu Lan's imperial guards were also homesick and complained. As the royal imperial guards, they were the proud sons of heaven. They were always the first to do good deeds. When did they fall behind? behind others. In the past, Huang Mingyuan usually gave them some easy-to-fight and meritorious battles and treated them very favorably. How could he keep them at the end this time?
Who wants to eat snow on the grassland in the cold weather?
Huang Mingyuan saw that the army was in chaos, but he had no choice but to ask questions. It wasn't that Huang Mingyuan deliberately tricked them. If Dugu Lan hadn't shouldered the responsibility of monitoring Huang Mingyuan, Huang Mingyuan would have sent these old soldiers south.
In addition to doing some military exploits, Dugu Lan's biggest mission when he went north was to monitor Huang Mingyuan. Huang Mingyuan and everyone else knew it well. Especially for such a major event as the alliance of various ministries, Dugu Lan must be left as a witness, so as not to let the emperor think that Huang Mingyuan had other thoughts in it.
Dugu Lan also understood what Huang Mingyuan meant. After getting involved in this matter and taking so many advantages, he had to pay for it. Therefore, he did not complain at all and had to try his best to restrain the entire army and prevent any changes.
Seeing that the date of the alliance is getting closer and closer, all kinds of monsters and monsters on the grassland will take the opportunity to jump out. Huang Mingyuan also ordered the ministries to step up defense. At this time, the entire grassland was watching the Sui army in Weilu City. The slightest mistake would cause various disturbances.
As Huang Mingyuan expected, as soon as Zheng Yanqing's troops left and saw the main force of the Sui army heading south, he had other thoughts in mind.
On September 20, some horse bandits attempted to sneak attack the Sui army¡¯s sentinels and cavalry.
After Huang Mingyuan heard about it, he ordered Zhang Wenyuan and Gao Zhen to chase and kill the group of horse bandits along the way, marching more than 300 miles westward, kill all the horse bandits and return.
The grassland tribes were all awe-inspiring. Only then did they understand that although the main force of the Sui army went south, the remaining combat power was still there, and Huang Mingyuan was still invincible.
At this point, the various forces on the grassland knew that the power of the tiger was still there, and they no longer wanted to test the strength of the Sui army. They did not dare to offend Huang Mingyuan, so they had to become more tolerant and low-key.
Huang Mingyuan didn't care about everyone's thoughts. As long as the power of the Sui army was still there, any unrealistic attempts by anyone would just be seeking death.
That night, Huang Mingyuan was still reading documents in the army and did not sleep well. At this time, Xiong Kuohai came in to report, and Pei Yun, the Taichang Shaoqing of the Chinese Army, asked to see him.
Pei Yun, Wen Xi, was the twenty-eighth descendant of the Pei family. He was a clear-minded person and a well-ranked official. Chen died in the Sui Dynasty. Historically, at the beginning of his great career, Pei Yun had the best performance evaluations. Although in later generations, Pei Yun was regarded as a traitor, in fact, he was considered a capable minister in terms of ability. He and Pei Ju were the prime ministers of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, creating the most prosperous period for the Pei family since the Pei Dynasties in the Western Jin Dynasty.
Pei Yun came to visit, and Huang Mingyuan hurriedly asked people to bring Pei Yun into the account. Although Pei Yun and Pei Ju are not the same Pei, and their blood relationship is very distant, because of their close relationship, Huang Mingyuan has to call Pei Yun his cousin from Pei Ju. Pei Ju is the eleventh descendant of the Pei family. He is quite senior in the Pei family. The famous Pei Yun and Pei Renji during the Sui and Tang Dynasties would call him uncle. As for Li Yuan's good friend Pei Ji, he comes from the thirteenth generation of Xijuan, so he should be called his grandfather.
Pei Yun is a very cautious person. He joined the army for China, but he did not actually serve as military counselor. His real duty is still to monitor the generals in the army. Therefore, in order to avoid taboos, Pei Yun could not easily come to Huang Mingyuan's Chinese army tent.
Pei Yun entered the tent, exchanged greetings, and the two sat down separately.
Huang Mingyuan and Pei Yun have nothing to do with each other, and they have no contact in the past. Before the Northern Expedition, the Pei family's attitude towards Huang Mingyuan was uncertain. Pei Ju hopes thatIt is enough to actively introduce Huang Mingyuan to the Pei family as a foreign aid affiliated with the family; but both Pei Yun and other members of the Pei family feel that Huang Mingyuan is too strong in character, prone to extremes, and has no sign of a good ending, so they strongly oppose the move to the Pei family. Tied with Huang Mingyuan.
Huang Mingyuan is also aware of this matter, so he has always kept a distance from the Pei family except Pei Ju, and will never let others think that he intends to curry favor with the Pei family. Besides, Huang Mingyuan never wanted to be anyone's vassal. Even when facing Yang Guang, he always maintained his inner arrogance, so he didn't like the Pei family's attitude of looking down on him very much.
Because he was not familiar with Pei Yun, the two parties had nothing to talk about. The two sides chatted awkwardly for a few words, and then things got a bit cold. Huang Mingyuan looked at Pei Yun and wanted to know the purpose of Pei Yun's late night visit.
Pei Yun is also a little unnatural. Although he has a kind of superiority in his bones, he still dare not underestimate Huang Mingyuan, the current killing god.
Pei Yun also knew Huang Mingyuan's attitude towards the Pei family, and he did not get too close to it. Instead, he said: "Mingyuan knows that this time the alliance will be held, the imperial court has sent Su Xiangguo to preside over the alliance."
The alliance is related to the state system. Although Huang Mingyuan is the commander-in-chief of the army, this kind of matter still has to be handed over to someone at least the prime minister level. In the Sui Dynasty, there were only three people who were qualified and familiar with the grassland conditions, Yang Su, Su Wei, and Pei Ju. Yang Su could not be used. Pei Ju was Huang Mingyuan's father-in-law and wanted to avoid suspicion, so the only person chosen was Su Wei.
" Moreover, as Huang Mingyuan serves as the military guarantee for the grassland, Yang Jian also has to consider the relationship between the people he sends and Huang Mingyuan, and Su Wei does his part.
??The court would not avoid Huang Mingyuan for this kind of thing. Huang Mingyuan had already expected this, so he didn't take it seriously.
Pei Yun may have thought that Huang Mingyuan would be unhappy with someone picking peaches, but in fact Huang Mingyuan didn't care about the name. What Zhu Hu feared was him himself. After all, no matter who comes, they can't get around Huang Mingyuan.
Huang Mingyuan said: "With Prime Minister Su here, we should have no worries about the alliance."
But he didn¡¯t want to talk to Pei Yun. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
