    The news of the attack on the envoy soon spread to Luoyang, and everyone in the court and the public heard about it, and the whole court was in an uproar.  In fact, although the Great Sui Dynasty is now in crisis, thanks to the Sui army's repeated defeats, the whole court is proud of the power of the Great Sui Dynasty, and no one thinks that any country dares to provoke the Great Sui Dynasty.

    And the Yiwu killing incident was like insulting Yang Guang in front of him and slapping Yang Guang hard on the face. How could a proud and arrogant person like Yang Guang endure it?

    Send troops!

    Send troops!

    Yang Guang has never had an overnight feud here, he must destroy Yiwu country.

    In fact, compared to Sui Dynasty, Yiwu is just the difference between an elephant and an ant.  It was easy for the Sui Dynasty to send troops, and it was not difficult to destroy the Yiwu Kingdom. It was difficult to travel thousands of miles from Chang'an to the Western Regions.

    From Chang'an to the west to Yiwu, it is a journey of more than 4,000 miles, and along the way we have to pass through obstacles such as rivers, mountains, deserts, and Gobi.  Taking an army of 10,000 people as an example, it would take almost two months to reach Yiwu from Chang'an City.  The food consumed in the past two months has gone to sea. For every stone of food and grass transported from Chang'an to Yiwu, at least more than half will be consumed on the road.  To meet the food supply for an army of 10,000 people for at least one month, the imperial court had to send 50,000 civilians to transport food for them.

    It¡¯s not that the Great Sui Dynasty couldn¡¯t afford this kind of consumption, but it was not worth it for a small Yiwu country.  Besides, who can guarantee victory in an expedition across mountains and seas?

    Imagine a lone army traveling four thousand miles to attack an enemy country. The environment is harsh, the baggage is insufficient, and there are almost no supplies along the way.  If he fails, he may be trapped directly under the city by the opponent.

    Although everyone was scolding Yiwu, in fact no one dared to persuade Yang Guang to attack, and no one was willing to lead troops to attack Yiwu, even if everyone knew Yang Guang's thoughts.

    Seeing everyone pretending to be dead, Yang Guang was furious. In the civil and military court, no one could share his worries.

    In the end, Huang Mingyuan sent a letter to Yang Guang from Chang'an, requesting the imperial court to send troops to attack the country of Iraq, and presented his own strategy.

    In the letter, Huang Mingyuan stated to Yang Guang the pros and cons of the Sui army's attack on Yiwu. He believed that although the army's attack on Yiwu was extremely dangerous, it could still achieve unexpected results.  Once the Sui army conquers Yiwu, the Sui Dynasty will have a stable foothold in the Western Region. By then, whether it is entering the north of the Tianshan Mountains or entering the south of the Tianshan Mountains, it will have a stable base for advancement, and its benefits will be much greater than the input and output.  .

    In other words, in the face of the benefits that the Western Regions could bring to the Sui Dynasty, these investments were insignificant. Even if the entire expeditionary army was annihilated, the imperial court could still continue to organize troops to attack until they conquered Yiwu.

    Because it¡¯s worth it.

    Huang Mingyuan uses military skills to pursue safety, but when it comes to taking risks, he will never restrain his hands.

    Huang Mingyuan also suggested that if Yiwu is captured this time, a new city can be built here and troops can be left to garrison.  The army used this place as its attack point and continued to encroach on the land of the Western Regions to the west and north, eventually reaching the power and power of the Protector of the Western Regions during the Han Dynasty.

    In order to prevent the soldiers from thinking about their hometown, Huang Mingyuan proposed to recruit athletes in Guanzhong and Sanhe to participate in the Long March.  It was also suggested that those who were willing to be Long March athletes should be recruited from among the garrison soldiers and clients. In addition to ordinary treatment, they would be exempted from taxes for many years. If their families were willing to go, they would be given land and houses, and household food and spring and winter clothes would be provided by the government.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????.

    Yang Guang was overjoyed to see Huang Mingyuan's memorial, and he also agreed with his opinions on Long March athletes.  If we simply recruit soldiers from the government, it will indeed be difficult to make these people with families stick to the local area. However, purely recruiting soldiers can solve this problem.

    Yang Guang immediately ordered the recruitment of 15,000 soldiers from the army in Guanzhong, Sanhe and other places and from Liangjiazi for the Western Expedition.

    The people of Sanhe have been suffering from Yang Guang for a long time.

    In the fourth year of Daye, on the first day of the first month of the lunar month, Emperor Yang issued an edict to mobilize more than one million troops from all armies north of the Yellow River to dig the Yongji Canal, diverting the Qin River south to the Yellow River and north to Zhuo County.  There were not enough men, so women began to be exploited.

    Therefore, when the recruitment order was issued, the common people who could not survive joined the recruitment one after another, and soon fifteen thousand people were recruited.

    Although we have good soldiers, we also need good generals.  However, in this Western Expedition, the generals of the DPRK and the Central Government were actually unwilling to participate.

    This battle is really useless to everyone, and the victory will not bring much credit. However, this battle is far away from the desert, but it is easy to fail.  And even if he wins, the general will probably be appointed as the local guard, and he will not be able to return to Luoyang in his lifetime.

    Not many people want to go to the Western Regions to eat sand.

    At this time, Huang Mingyuan wrote another letter requesting the emperor to recruit his younger brother Huang Mingliao, the prefect of Hengshan County, to serve as the governor of Hengshan County.Recruiting coach.

    Everyone is puzzled by this.

    Hengshan County is a Shangjun. Huang Mingliao served as the governor of a place at a young age. All political affairs were handled by one person. He could be said to be the local emperor of the place.  After a few years, if you have your elder brother to rely on in the court, whether you go to Beijing as a general of the first guard or be sent to the outside as a governor of a state, it will be all right. Why go to the Western Regions to eat sand.

    Chen Yuan also advised Huang Mingyuan that this move was very inappropriate.

    Hengshan County is located in the key points of Hedong and Hebei as well as Youzhou and Daibei. Huang Mingyuan is here. When the time comes, whether Huang Mingyuan goes south or north, or west or east, it will be like entering a deserted land. If he loses this place, it will be painful.  Lost an arm.

    However, Huang Mingyuan¡¯s attitude is very firm. Hengshan County is important, but the Western Region is even more important.

    In fact, what Huang Mingyuan did not say is that once the world is in chaos, Hebei will be the most corrupt area.  By then the whole of Hebei will rebel, and even the most powerful generals will be unable to do anything if they get here.  Therefore, Huang Mingyuan hoped that his younger brother would get out of here as soon as possible to avoid falling into the quagmire of the peasant army.

    As for Huang Mingyuan's base area, it has gradually been transferred to Guanbei and Hedong with the release of Fengzhou generals.  In the history of the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Hedong was the place with the least damage.  In fact, not counting Fengzhou and Anbei, Huang Mingyuan had two prefects and eight county lieutenants in Guanbei, Hedong and other places, and the children of Fengzhou were spread on both sides of the Yellow River.  If there is really chaos in the world, Huang Mingyuan will compete with Li Yuan for this base area.

    No one knows what Huang Mingyuan is thinking, but seeing that Huang Mingyuan has pushed his own younger brothers to the hot potato position of coach of the Western Expedition, no one can't help feeling Huang Mingyuan's loyalty.

    Yang Guangma was so happy that he gave Huang Mingyuan a thousand pieces of silk.

    Huang Mingyuan actually knew the difficulty of this Western Expedition, not in the battlefield, but in the marching and supplies along the way.  Huang Mingyuan would not cheat his younger brother, so he asked Yang Guang to appoint Huang Mingliao as the prefect of Dunhuang County.  Half of Dunhuang County is outside Yumen Pass. If Huang Mingliao takes control of Dunhuang County, he can carry out sufficient repairs here and get local support from Dunhuang. Even if the army is defeated, the probability of successfully retreating to the pass will be greatly increased.

    Without this position, Huang Mingyuan did not believe that Dunhuang County would obey the deployment and honestly support the Western Expedition.  I'm afraid that the Western Expedition army will be regarded as enemies passing through the border.

    Yang Guang naturally refused to accept anything.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
