Chapter 714: Dendrobium

Yuanshou died just like that!

The army continued to drive, and Yuanshou's body was transported back to Chang'an.

Things are not over

In the second month, Renxu, King Xiong of Guande passed away.

Another minister died on the way to march, adding countless shadows to nothing. But everyone still had the will to win.

Sitting on the straw cart, Zhang Bairen pondered in his heart, and soon said to Zuo Qiu Wuji beside him: "Where is the Minister of War?"

"The Minister of War has been waiting for a long time!" Zuo Qiu Wuji said.

"Call him here!" Zhang Bairen sighed.

Duan Wenzhen, Minister of War

The Minister of War came over and bowed to Zhang Bairen: "I have met the Grand Governor."

"Come up and sit down, don't be polite," Zhang Bairen looked at Duan Wenzhen with a gray beard and sighed softly.

Duan Wenzhen immediately got on the straw cart and said, "The lower-ranking official asked to see the governor, so he had important matters to discuss with the governor."

"What's the matter?"

Zhang Bairen holds straw in his mouth.

"Governor, now there is not much food and grass, so you have to urge Your Majesty to urge him. Moreover, a million troops marched eastward, traveling through mountains and rivers for hundreds of miles, were already exhausted. It is right to use thunder to attack Goguryeo. It is justified that Goguryeo crushed before he could react. Now using upright means can add more killing. For the sake of useless reputation, I, the Great Sui Erlang, have killed countless people again! It is worthless! As long as I can destroy Goguryeo, I can shock the world. Why do I have to use any means to deter the outside world?" Duan Wenzhen said muffled: "This kind of delay will cause the people to suffer money, and the people will suffer countless casualties, but they will end up falling."

"Your Majesty may not be able to listen to me," Zhang Bairen sighed.

"How can the governor know if he doesn't try it? Is the governor unwilling to even give it a try for the countless tragic deaths?" Duan Wenzhen stared at Zhang Bairen.

Zhang Bairen was unwilling to persuade him because he knew what Yang Guang meant. Not only did he want to conquer Goguryeo, but he also wanted to take the opportunity to abolish the vitality of the aristocratic families and buy time for the Sui Dynasty.

Duan Wenzhen was not afraid at all, and his eyes were unquestionable.

Zhang Bairen sighed helplessly: "Well, I'll give it a try."

Yang Guangche chased

Zhang Bairen sat opposite Yang Guang

"Your Majesty, food and grass are a big problem. You must never make any mistakes. Your Majesty still needs to be cautious," Zhang Bairen said with a serious expression.

After hearing Zhang Bairen's words, Yang Guang nodded: "Don't worry, my dear family, no matter how brave the aristocratic family is, they definitely do not dare to tamper with this matter."

Obviously, Yang Guang did not listen to Zhang Bairen's words.

Zhang Bairen was helpless, but he also understood Yang Guang's mood at this time. The military strength of Goguryeo dozens or hundreds of times the Sui Dynasty was a crushing advantage. For Yang Guang, the conquest of Goguryeo was no different from playing.

"Goguryeo's small country, Your Majesty's move is too exhausting the people and the money, I'm afraid..." Zhang Bairen was trying to persuade him again.

Before Zhang Bairen finished speaking, Yang Guang shook his head: "You should know what I mean."

What else can Zhang Bairen say?

After getting off the carriage, Duan Wenzhen, the Minister of War, looked at Zhang Bairen and came up: "Governor, how about it?"

Zhang Bairen shook his head with a gloomy face: "Mr. Duan needs to prepare early."

Duan Wenzhen's face suddenly turned as gloomy as water, and he turned around and walked towards Yang Guang's carriage. Before Zhang Bairen could greet him, Duan Wenzhen had already climbed onto Yang Guang's carriage.

Duan Wenzhen has a great status and is well-deserved and has been granted the title of honor. He was pardoned by the court as the Marquis of Xiang of Beiping and was appointed as the Minister of War. He was Yang Guang's absolute confidant.

Zhang Bairen sighed helplessly, and not long after, he heard the sound of disputes coming from the carriage. Duan Wenzhen was indeed a loyal minister and dared to argue with Yang Guangdingniu. If it weren't for his loyalty, Yang Guang wouldn't have believed him.

Duan Wenzhen said fiercely: "Your Majesty is favored by the Turks too much. He is in the frontier and is fed by military food. The nature of the Rong and Di is greedy and will cause trouble in the country in the future. It is advisable to send the troops to go out of the frontier, and then set up beacons and guard the border towns. The order is serious. This is the long-lasting strategy. I secretly see the clown in Liaodong, who has not been punished for severe punishment, and has been sent far away to six divisions, and has been working hard for thousands of people. However, the barbarians are deceiving, and they must be prepared for the deeds. They should not be allowed to accept the money immediately. The water is sloppy and the land is not flooded. Only I wish to strictly enforce the army, and the Star Chi is in a rapid way, and the water and land are in front of him. If it is unexpected, then the isolated city of Pyongyang can be pulled out. If it is rooted, the remaining city will be defeated. If it is determined from time to time, it will be difficult to encounter Qiulin. If the troops and food are exhausted, the strong enemy will be in front of him. After the Marine is out, hesitating and undecided is not the best strategy."

Yang Guang also argued after hearing this: "I, the Great Sui Dynasty, did I take the mere Turks seriously? It is impossible to take the beacon fire too much, but it encourages the Turks' arrogance. The foreign races in the frontier rely on expedition rather than defense, which is the worst way to do so."

In fact, sometimes Zhang Bairen had to admire Yang Guang's mind. Although the frontier had no defenses, the Turks did not dare to go south. Now the surrounding alien races have been afraid of being beaten by the Sui Dynasty, so how dare they go south to rob? They all rely on the Great Sui Dynasty to make a living.

This is the emperor's vision and mind, and Duan Wenzhen is still a little bit short of it.

"Duan Wenzhen, do you dare to offend Your Majesty? Is it okay to live a tired life?" He heard a angrily scolding, and the military officer Lang Hu Sizheng suddenly scolded him.

The military officer, Hu Sizheng, is the grandson of Chun. Many people have never heard of Hu Sizheng, but if I talk about Hu Sizheng, everyone will understand the importance of this person in the Great Sui Dynasty.

Hu Sizheng, Zu Chun, Wei Taibao, Shangshu Ling, and Changshan Wenxuanwang, his family background was extremely prominent. His father was the attendant of the Sanqi and the Duke of Xincai County. It was only natural for him to enter the court.

In history, Hu Sizheng started as a guard for Yang Guang, but later because Zheng was wise and had a good military merit. Even Yang Su liked him quite a lot, which shows that this person's methods were made. In his great cause, he was the Shangshu Jianlang. The most amazing thing about this person is that every time he reported something, he never missed Yang Guang's intentions. He was always in the emperor's heart, so Yang Guang liked him very much. Even Yang Xuangan often had good friends with him, so why is this person the key?

Because Yang Xuangan rebelled, he discussed it with him. Then he turned around and sold Yang Xuangan and reported it to Yang Guang.

It can be said that without Hu Sizheng, Yang Xuangan might not have rebelled.

At this time, Yang Guang was deploying troops in the Eastern Expedition. Such a big show was all out of this person. This person was responsible for military affairs, which was definitely the most important position and had never been dealt with with Duan Wenzhen, the Minister of War. The two had too much power conflict, and they were simply incompatible.

Upon hearing Hu Sizheng's reprimand, Duan Wenzhen said with a gloomy expression: "Your Majesty, Hu Sizheng is sinister and indifferent, and you should not entrust it with a confidentiality. Your Majesty such a villain needs to kick him away."

"Your Majesty, Duan Wenzhen actually slandered his subordinates. Please ask Your Majesty to take charge!" Hu Sizheng looked at Yang Guang and kept screaming.

"Bang!"

Before Yang Guang could speak, Zhang Bairen had already stepped forward and slapped his mouth, making Hu Sizheng's eyes look like stars: "Your Majesty is talking to the Minister of War, where is there a place where you interrupt."

"Zhang Bairen, you dare to hit me!" Hu Sizheng covered his face blankly and looked at Zhang Bairen in disbelief.

"I not only dare to hit you, but I also dare to kill you with one sword. Do you believe it?" Zhang Bairen's voice was cold.

"Your Majesty!" Hu Sizheng cried out sadly.

"Enough!" Yang Guang angrily rebuked: "Go down, don't discuss this matter anymore, I will make a decision in my heart."

Seeing Yang Guang getting angry, Zhang Bairen turned around and left. Duan Wenzhen, the Minister of War, followed Zhang Bairen, as if he was aged several decades. His body instantly hunched over, and his spirit was completely lost: "Your Majesty is dedicated to Huosi's politics. This Eastern Expedition is mostly caused by the trouble of the people and money. It is ridiculous. My Great Sui Dynasty was destroyed by such villains. It is really ridiculous! It is ridiculous! The governor should retain his useful body and make plans in the future. If Goguryeo makes a mistake, the Great Sui Dynasty will surely perish!"

Poor Duan Wenzhen is Hu Sizheng's boss, but he is not as favored as the other party. He still has to be angry in front of Yang Guang. This cowardly aura can kill people.

Zhang Bairen's face was gloomy, and for the first time he felt the terrible struggle for power in the court.

Duan Wenzhen seemed to have become more than a teenager. He followed Zhang Bairen to the thatched cart and faced the north wind for a long time without saying a word.

Not long after, the guards beside Yang Guang came to pass the order: "Duan Wenzhen received the order."

Duan Wenzhen looked at the eunuch and got off the carriage: "Duan Wenzhen received the order!"

"Your Majesty has an order. Duan Wenzhen is the general of the left guard and goes out to the southern Jiangsu road. I'm here!"
