    Yang Guang is still brooding about this failure.

    However, this failure at least exposed Yang Guang's military shortcomings.  Although he still wants to conquer Goguryeo again, the obstacles he will face are much greater than the last time. If Huang Mingyuan openly opposes it, the result is still unknown given Huang Mingyuan's reputation and status.

    Therefore, Yang Guang was a little cautious in his attitude towards inquiries, for fear that Huang Mingyuan would object.

    In his heart, Huang Mingyuan is unwilling to fight this battle, because the current Da Sui people's livelihood is withered, and the most important thing is to rest.  But in fact it was impossible for Yang Guang to recuperate, and in order to frighten the four enemies and maintain his hegemony, this battle had to be fought.  At this time, the Sui Dynasty was just like the United States in later generations. In order to maintain deterrence, it often had to do things even if it knew it was forbidden.

    Rather than opposing Yang Guang and letting him act recklessly, it is better to take the conquest of Goguryeo into his own hands.

    Huang Mingyuan immediately said: "The emperor knows clearly that Liaodong must be conquered again, and it will be conquered with great fanfare, and we will definitely win."

    Yang Guang was a little surprised, because Huang Mingyuan had always opposed his conquest of Goguryeo. Unexpectedly, after this defeat, Huang Mingyuan changed his temper.

    Yang Guang asked hurriedly: "Didn't Mingyuan always not support the conquest of Goguryeo?"

    That was before, and you didn¡¯t lose the battle. Now that you have lost the battle, of course you have to clean up the mess.

    Huang Mingyuan said: "Emperor Mingjian, attacking Goguryeo at this time is not just about conquering a country, but about reshaping the prestige of the Sui Dynasty over the grasslands, the Western Regions, and the Longyou countries. The court must not only fight this battle, but also fight it successfully  We must let everyone in the world know that the Sui Dynasty is still an invincible and powerful army. Only in this way can we continue to frighten the barbarians from all directions, subdue the unsubordinates, and maintain the stability of the border areas."

    In history, why did Khan dare to fall out with Yang Guang and almost capture Yang Guang alive? Isn't it because the three expeditions to Goryeo during the Sui Dynasty failed, which gave the Turks hope of overthrowing the Sui Dynasty.  When you are prosperous, countless people will chase you and call you daddy; but when daddy is no longer daddy, those sons will fall out faster than anyone else.

    The banner of the Sui army was built by Huang Mingyuan during his northern expedition to the grassland, and he drove thousands of miles to seal the wolf in Xu. It was also because of this banner that Huang Mingyuan became the prime minister in his twenties and became famous all over the world. Therefore, not only Yang Guang  This flag cannot be allowed to fall, and the same goes for Huang Mingyuan.

    At this time, Yang Guang was overjoyed after hearing Huang Mingyuan's words. The failure of the expedition to Goguryeo had cut off his dream of being the commander-in-chief.  He originally intended to let Huang Mingyuan go to conquer Goguryeo for the second time to save his face. Now he was even more happy to hear Huang Mingyuan's enthusiastic attitude.  Although he himself failed, he had more confidence in Huang Mingyuan than in himself.

    Yang Guang asked urgently: "How does Mingyuan think we can win the next Eastern Expedition?"

    Huang Mingyuan didn't hide his secrets at this time, and said: "I have said before that the biggest problem in the expedition to Goguryeo is not the small number of troops but the large number of troops. The number of troops and horses doubled, and the difficulty of transporting grain and grass increased by more than ten times. Therefore, in ancient times, victory was won with a small number.  If there are too many, the grain roads will be broken and they will collapse. Liaodong is remote and the transportation of grain is inconvenient. The soldiers each bear three stones of supplies. Is this for fighting or transportation? Therefore, our army already had major hidden dangers before the war.

    I asked myself to be the general manager of Youzhou, and mobilized troops from various places to prepare for the invasion of Liao.  At the same time, Youzhou is close to Beilu, which can also deter the barbarians.  When next spring, everything is ready, we can attack again.  This time to attack the Liao Dynasty, I asked you to take 200,000 horses as the vanguard and attack from Youzhou. The emperor could lead his troops behind.

    The minister led his troops straight to Liaodong City, and then along the Liao River and Daliang River, they gradually penetrated deeper and defeated the cities.  And the emperor's rear army can take over various places along the way.

    Our army slowly planned to force the main force of Goguryeo to fight with us, first taking over various parts of Liaodong, and finally concentrating our forces on the Yalu River side, and then launched a fatal blow.

    At the same time, in order to ensure the smooth flow of food channels.  The navy soldiers should open up a route from Donglai to Tongding Town, and then transport troops and food to various mountain cities through rivers such as Liao River, Daliang River, and Yalu River.

    Taking the minister, such step -by -step camps, gradually eating, can destroy Goguryeo in two years.  "

    Yang Guang was originally happy when he heard Huang Mingyuan's deployment, but when he heard Huang Mingyuan said that it would take two years to destroy Goguryeo, he felt a little disappointed.

    It would take another two years, and he couldn't wait any longer.

    As soon as Huang Mingyuan finished speaking, Yang Guang hurriedly asked: "Mingyuan, is it too long to destroy Goguryeo in the past two years?"

    Huang Mingyuan said: "Sage, you must know that haste makes waste. Goguryeo is also a prosperous country in the east of the sea. It has a vast territory and hundreds of thousands of troops. It is difficult to win in a hurry. The Sui Dynasty attacked Liaodong this time not only to destroy its country, but also to  We must take over the land, serve its people, and regain the homeland of the Han and Wei dynasties. Therefore, we must not only defeat the enemy, but also calm the people. Many things must be done.??, it is definitely not something that happens overnight.  "

    Hearing Huang Mingyuan's reply, Yang Guang had no choice but to say: "Leave everything to Mingyuan, I can rest assured. You just do everything, and I will follow it. It's just that Wan Wang Mingyuan will remember my worries."

    Huang Mingyuan immediately knelt down and said, "Please rest assured, saint, Mingyuan will fulfill his mission."

    Yang Guang stood up and walked quickly to Huang Mingyuan, helped Huang Mingyuan up, took Huang Mingyuan's hand and said, "I have a bright future, so I don't have to worry about big things."

    ¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤

    Everyone miraculously discovered that after Yang Guang met Duke Wei once, his mood immediately changed and his spirit became much better.  Everyone couldn't help but admire the magic of Wei Gong. Many people wondered whether the emperor would let Wei Gong go to conquer Goguryeo again. With Wei Gong in command, they would have a chance to take revenge.

    Soon, the emperor issued an order to remove Yu Wenshu, Yu Zhongwen and others as civilians; the other generals were removed from their posts and remained in office for their crimes and meritorious service; Liu Shilong, the former minister Youcheng, beheaded in front of the army to thank the world.

    Everyone who was originally worried breathed a sigh of relief. Although the generals were removed from their posts, they remained in their original posts. As long as they did not leave their posts in the future, they would have the opportunity to perform meritorious services in the future, and their posts would usually be restored soon. Such a punishment was hardly considered a punishment.  .

    And the death of Liu Shilong also made the officers and soldiers of the three armies shout "Long live". After all, in the hearts of the generals, the one who messed up the three armies was Liu Shilong, who talked about the emperor's will all day long.

    Then Yang Guang rewarded the officials for their meritorious service in the Liaodong campaign.

    Because of the defeat in Liaodong, everyone thought that the emperor would not award any more rewards, so this belated reward made everyone overjoyed.

    Yang Guang issued an edict: granting Su Wei the title of Fang Gong; Zhao Yuanshu the title of Ge Gong; Yang Da the title of Shi'an Marquis; Li Jing the title of Yuanqiu Marquis; Duan Wenzhen the title of Beihai Marquis; Guo Rong the title of Pucheng Marquis; Liang Mo the title of Anding Marquis; and Zheng Yanqing.  For Dingtao Hou¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤

    The emperor finally did not erase the merits of the generals because of the failure of the expedition to Goguryeo.  In fact, this is also a method used by Yang Guang to divert the attention of the generals with this reward.

    Soon the news spread among the armies that Duke Wei was going to go to Goguryeo in person. Everyone was happy when they heard it, and the haze of the previous defeat was also cleared away.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
