    Only when the world is at peace can the people's hearts be stable, and only when the people's hearts are stable can they win the hearts of the people.  ¡ø¡à Yi Feng even wondered whether he should go to Guanzhong first.  But he quickly shook his head, 120,000 troops were enough, He Ruobi, Yang Xiong, Qu Tutong were all famous generals who had experienced battles for a long time. This was different from the last battle of Daibei.  The Battle of Daibei was a Turkic invasion, and they underestimated the enemy's carelessness.  And if Yang Xiu insisted on defending, it would be normal for him to besiege the city for a year or two.  And even one hundred thousand troops cannot attack it. If you send two hundred thousand or three hundred thousand, it is basically the same as adding fuel. It will not make a big quantitative change, but it will put huge pressure on your logistics.  In the final analysis, Yang Xiu had surprisingly strong control over Guanzhong, and there was no unexpected rebellion.  In this way, Yang Xiu's strength is still very strong. It is difficult to say that as soon as the soldiers arrive, the opponent abandons the pass and flees, waiting for the wind to fall.  And it's not easy to fight head on if it all depends on tackling key problems.  We still have to send troops to Yangzhou. Maybe we don¡¯t need too many troops. We can choose an elite force to go south and capture Huainan. We will defeat Yang Guang with Yang Xiu first, and then we will have a decisive battle with Yang Xiu.  This series of questions made Yi Feng feel upset and felt that the weather was getting hotter and muggier.  He simply didn't think too much. Step by step, he believed that his current situation should be the best among the three families. If even he was so upset, Yang Xiu and Yang Guang would only be more upset.  "Your Highness, good news!" Yi Feng raised his head in surprise at the loud shout, and saw Li Mi striding over with a strange surprise on his face.  He was followed by Liu Wenjing, Pei Ji, Su Xiaoci, Wang Bao and others who walked over happily.  "Your Highness, the memorial of Yang Su, Duke of the State of Yue, has arrived. It is an oath of allegiance to the imperial court." Feng Deyi said with a smile.  He used to be Yang Su's staff and married Yang Su's niece.  Very close to Yang Su.  Now that Yang Su has returned to the court, this is what happened.  It's naturally a good thing for him.  As soon as Yang Su entered the court, he must have a very high status in the court, and he also had an important backer.  "Really?" Yi Feng was pleasantly surprised. He was so happy that he didn't know what to say for a moment. He paused for a while before standing up and said, "Everyone, go to the hall and come over after I change my clothes." After a while, Yi Feng  Feng changed his clothes and returned to the palace.  At this time, my mood became calmer.  Everyone sat in the hall and talked excitedly. Even Gao Jiong, Han Monk Shouyu Wenbi and other important ministers came after hearing the news.  "Your Highness, is it true that Yang Su has surrendered?" Gao Jiong asked.  "I just received the news. I don't know the specific situation yet. The grand master just happened to listen to the details with me." Yi Feng smiled and asked Gao Jiong to sit down with him.  Gao Jong felt a little depressed. He originally recommended Yang Su to the court, but later Yang Su took the route of the queen and became extremely favored by the emperor and his wife, climbing higher and higher.  He finally managed to shoot right, and even started to challenge him.  At the beginning, of the two people in the court, one supported the prince and the other supported the king of Jin.  They are absolutely divided and hostile to each other, even to the point of being incompatible with each other.  Unexpectedly.  Now the two are working together again.  He was surprised that Yang Su was not very determined to follow Yang Guang.  Why did he suddenly switch over now?  "It's Shi Wansui." Pei Zeng smiled and reported to Yi Feng, "According to the news sent back from Longyou by the Military Intelligence Department. Shi Wansui swore allegiance to Yang Xiu, and Yang Xiu named Shi Wansui as the Duke of Wu, Taibao, and Shangshu Youpushe  . Then Shi Wansui moved and mobilized about 50,000 troops from all his subordinates to march towards Lingzhou Yang Su. "I'm not sure yet." "Is this Shi Wansui himself?"  He was quite positive, but I remember that Yang Xiu also promised Yang Su a bunch of rewards, something like being a minister or something like that?  It would be better to act first. Seeing that Yang Guang's situation was not good, Yang Su finally thought of surrendering to the imperial court. "Anyway, is this a good thing?" Yi Feng asked.  "No." Liu Wenjing shook her head.  Yi Feng was a little surprised, "He didn't ask us to send troops to support or anything?" "No. Yang Su said in the memorial that he would kill the traitor Shi Long live for the imperial court and recover Longyou and Hexi for the imperial court." Liu Wenjing replied truthfully.  "The Duke of Yue is very confident. He has 30,000 men against Shi Wansui's 50,000 men. Moreover, he is alone and Yang Xiu from Guanzhong may send troops to reinforce Shi Wansui at any time. Well, his loyalty is commendable and his courage is commendable.  In order to commend loyalty and bravery, the imperial edict granted Yang Su the title of Duke of Chu, with a settlement of 5,000 households, and the title of Grand Tutor. He was also promoted to Minister Zuopushe, and was awarded the title of Marshal of the Western Ping Rebellion. All the generals and officers under his command were decorated with honors.  As soon as he was promoted to a higher rank, all the soldiers were credited with merit and given ten thousand yuan. "Yi Feng was very happy for Yang Su's loyalty.  "Yang Suneng defeated Shi Wansui"??  Should he issue an edict for Yang Su to lead his troops to retreat to Fengzhou, or simply retreat directly from Fengzhou into Hedong?  "Liu Wenjing suggested, after all, Yang Su is just a lone army. Shi Wansui is also a famous general with more troops than Yang Su, and he has Yang Xiu to rely on. Although Yang Su's troops are not many, they are very important. They are on the right side of Long.  Lingfeng occupies the Hetao. Although it is already outside Xiaoguan in the northwest of Guanzhong, with this army of soldiers and horses belonging to the imperial court, it is a threat to Yang Xiu. It can contain Yang Xiu for the imperial court, even at critical moments.  And if Yang Su and Shi Wansui were to fight against each other, with 30,000 fighting against 50,000, even if they could win, there would definitely be a lot of casualties. If they were left alone, they might be killed by Yang Xiu.  . Therefore, it is definitely better to preserve Yang Su¡¯s troops than to fight Shi Wansui. ¡°The edict to Yang Su gave him this suggestion, but the final decision-making power rests with him.  "After Yi Feng thought about it, he had no intention of forcing the order directly. For a person like Yang Su, it is estimated that even if he gives the order, the other party will not necessarily ignore him, so he should let Yang Su make his own decision. "Yang Su's surrender made Yi Feng feel good.  , to wipe away the previous boredom. Later that day, Yifeng held a meeting of important ministers in Jinyong City. At the meeting, Yifeng finally announced the abolition of the general management system and began to implement the provincial system for the actual control areas of the imperial court.  It is officially divided into six provinces: Hedong Province, Hebei Province, Henan Province, Jingdong Province, Saishang Province, and Saibei Province based on the mountain and river situation, with Luoyang as Tokyo and Taiyuan as Beijing. Saishang Province is Huaihuang and Xi in the north of Yanshan.  Part of the southern part of the territory. Saibei Province was originally part of the Sanfan 21st Jidi Prefecture under Youzhou Prefecture. It was originally planned to establish Liaoxi Province, but now Liaoxi Province is occupied by Weichong.  Jingdong Province divided the area east of Bianshui in Henan Province to form Henan Province and Jingdong Province. Each province has a Department of Prosecution and Prosecution, which all command three departments.  There is one chief executive on the left and the right on the left, who are the highest administrative officers of the province. One person is responsible for the military defense of the province. However, the three divisions have clear powers and responsibilities.  The left and right commanders were only a commanding bureau, and could not directly command the provincial troops, imperial troops, border troops, reserve rural soldiers and militia, etc. Their powers were strictly supervised and restricted without transfer orders from the Privy Council.  In fact, the imperial court did not have the right to mobilize more than ten troops and horses. In fact, it was the same as the previous imperial court had senior officers above the generals of hussars and cavalry. They could only command troops after receiving orders. They were usually only responsible for the troops of a province.  Just like the Ministry of War today, it is mainly responsible for administration and logistics. In this way, the original power of the generals to support and command the troops was eliminated, so that the army and officers of the imperial court were like the original soldiers and officers.  The same goes for all the generals of the army. "Li Changya is the chief envoy to Hebei Province on the left, and Li Yuan is the chief envoy to Hebei Province on the right.  Yuan Ya was the chief envoy to the left side of Hedong, and Li Min was the chief envoy to the right side of Hedong.  Yuan Bao was the chief envoy to the left in Henan, and Chai Shen was the chief envoy to the right in Henan.  Gao Di was the chief envoy to the left in Jingdong, and Yang Yichen was the chief envoy to the right in Jingdong.  Xu Deyan is the chief envoy to the left and Li Baiyao is the chief envoy to the right" A series of appointments of provincial officials were announced, and those present stepped forward to listen to the order and express their gratitude. Although they were provincial officials  , which is equivalent to the original general manager level. Each province manages more than ten states, but the separation of the three divisions makes one province have six chief officials of the same level, and the most important military affairs.  In fact, the command department has no power, so the province has far less power than the former general administration. Those in charge of the people can only manage the law, and those in charge of the military can only manage the administrative logistics of the army.  First of all, the only one with more real power is the chief secretary, but he can only manage civil affairs, and even the judicial power has been reduced. Basically, even if he is a larger state governor, there are two more chief ministers.  The most important thing in the first appointment of the chief officers of the three provinces was the appointment of the chief envoy, and even if it was the appointment of the chief envoy, people such as Gao Jiong in the court did not care so much about the chief envoy.  The general manager is not even as good as the middle general manager, and can barely be regarded as a small general manager, so there is nothing to fight for. There is nothing to be happy about if you get it. However, Yi Feng still worked hard for the first batch of chief ministers.  , especially the left chief envoy who is slightly higher than the right chief envoy, uses his own people, such as father-in-law, uncle, foster father, teacher, etc. who are absolutely trustworthy, while the right chief envoy arranges for former officials such as Li Yuan, Yang Yichen, etc.  After the governors of Youzhou Prefecture appointed the chief envoys of the six provinces, they also appointed the provincial governors and capital commanders, which were not considered important positions of real power. Next, a group of state governors and state capitals were appointed.  Captain. Many former governors were replaced and replaced by others. The position of captain is actually the same as that of the provincial commander. It is called to be in charge of the military of a state, but in fact it is only in charge of the logistics and administration of the troops of a province.  Affairs, which was to replace the original Central Controller.??In terms of grades, for the newly established provincial officials, the left and right chief envoys are both of the third rank, the left and right inspectors are of the third rank, and the left and right commanders are of the fourth rank.  The rank of the governor of the state declined, with the highest being the fourth rank, the lowest being the fourth rank, and the captain being the fifth rank.  In the end, the Taiyuan court established six new provinces, and under the six provinces, there were a total of 100 states and 437 counties, occupying one-third of the states in the Sui Dynasty, but it was the most elite Guandong region, with nearly half of the population.  , the Taiyuan court can be said to be very powerful.  After a series of appointments were read out, Yi Feng glanced at Gao Jiong. Gao Jiong fell into meditation like an old monk, slightly closing his eyes, and did not come out to raise objections. This result made him very satisfied.  Gao Jiong must have understood very well that abolition of the general control was a good thing for the court. On the other hand, if the general control was retained, basically all the general managers of the states in Guandong would be Yang Lin's people. Now that provinces are established,  The imperial court centralized power, and the Shangshu Province actually had stronger control over local areas than before.  "Now Yang Xiu is sending troops to fight Yang Guang in Jiangling. At this time, the two rebels are fighting, and we can't sit idly by. Marshal He Ruo is storming Pujin Pass, and General Li Jing is sending troops north to fight Goguryeo. Although troops are used on both sides, now is the opportunity  It is rare and should not be missed. Therefore, I decided to immediately form a southern expedition camp to head towards Huainan, break Yang Guang's old nest, regain the land in Jiangdong, and deal with Yang Guang as soon as possible. " There was a moment of silence in the palace, and Gao Jiu couldn't help but open his eyes.  Eye.  He didn¡¯t expect that Yi Feng would act so frequently. He had just introduced the provincial system, abolished the general manager¡¯s office, and sent Li Jing northward. Without stopping at this moment, he was actually deploying troops to the south again.  In this way, will the three-way deployment of troops be too tense?  "I wonder who your Majesty plans to send to lead the southern expedition?" Gao Jiong asked.  Yi Feng looked at Gao Jiong and replied, "I plan to personally lead the troops south to Huainan. After recovering Yangzhou, I will send troops to Jingzhou." "Your Highness will personally lead the troops south, but the court cannot do without His Highness?" Gao Jiong was a little surprised.  Although Yi Feng is the prince, he is the regent of the country. The emperor has been ill, so he has been recuperating and unable to govern. Therefore, the prince oversees the country and regents. But if the prince leads the troops to go to war, who will entrust the government of China to?  If we take over, do we need to establish a supervisory state or a regent?  But the prince's eldest son is only half a year old, right?  "The words of the Grand Master do make sense." Yi Feng looked thoughtful, and then said, "Your Majesty has been unwell and it is difficult to manage the government. I really can't do without the imperial court. Well, the Southern Expedition is indeed important, and I can't  Wait. How about letting Privy Envoy Wang Bao serve as the marshal of the Southern Expedition, and let Taishi serve as the marching commander Shi to help Privy Envoy Wang command and coordinate the Southern Expedition? " Gao Yan was stunned for a moment. He looked at Yang Lin and understood what Yang Lin just said about going south.  Personal expedition is just a rhetoric, the purpose is to wait for his words, and then let yourself go to the expedition.  The prince wanted to leave the court. Gao Jiong's thoughts kept changing. The words of rejection came to his lips several times, but he still did not say it out in the end.  "I am willing to go and serve the country." Yi Feng immediately showed a smile on his face, "Then there will be Grand Master Lao. I will see him off in person tomorrow and wish him a triumphant return." ps: Please vote for me, brothers!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
