    (Thanks to Su Li¡¯s Box, Catkins in the Wind, Feng Sheng Shui Qi 1976, Wandering with the Snail, and pp197623 for your support!) ¡ª¡ª Sitting in the Manna Hall, Yi Feng looked at the words he had written and couldn¡¯t help but feel a little confused  With emotion, the 19th year of the founding of the Emperor did feel a bit turbulent this year.  This year, fortunately, there were no major natural disasters, but wars continued, and they have been fighting since the beginning of the year.  First, in the Northern Expedition, half a million soldiers and millions of civilians were dispatched, and hundreds of thousands of Tibetan soldiers were united.  This battle, the biggest since the founding of the People's Republic of China since the Battle of Pingchen, was indeed a success. The newly united Turks were severely defeated and their vitality was severely damaged. More than 200,000 Turks soldiers and horses were defeated and surrendered to the Sui Dynasty.  The Tiele people also took the opportunity to dominate Mobei, rebelled against the Turks, and established their own khanate.  If nothing else happens, this is a pretty perfect war. It took years of planning and then achieved absolute victory in just a few months.  Unfortunately, a civil strife brought the Northern Expedition to a hasty end, and then various soldiers and horses fought against each other in the Central Plains. Fortunately, Yi Feng quickly emerged in this competition, and won the final victory with "Wrong" and "Wrong", and the civil strife was quelled in March.  But after experiencing a civil strife, the power of the Sui Kingdom seemed to have weakened a lot, and the surrounding countries also began to want to test and provoke the Sui Dynasty.  Goguryeo sent 80,000 troops to cross the Liao River to the west again, and the imperial court had already sent two armies into western Liaoning.  The war in western Liaoning has not yet ended, but Datou has already entangled his troops and united with Tuyuhun to send troops to attack Hexi.  It was already autumn, but the war showed no sign of stopping. Instead, it became more and more intense.  This is a very dangerous sign.  Although the imperial court still has strong military strength, the war is about money.  Every war.  Not only do tens of thousands of generals and soldiers fight in the front, but they also affect countless logistics supplies in the rear.  A soldier is fighting on the front line.  If the war is fought outside the national borders, it may require three to five civilians for logistical support, and the consumption of equipment and food for these soldiers and civilians will require the support of more farmers and craftsmen.  If the war can be controlled within a certain scale and fought well, it will indeed be beneficial. It will open up territory, increase the population, and harvest money, land, people, and livestock.  But if the scale is not controlled, it will be very dangerous.  Once there is a problem with a certain link in the chain.  It can easily affect the entire situation.  For example, if the army is outside for a long time, it will leave the country empty.  Another example is that the army fights abroad for a long time, which will cause heavy casualties to soldiers.  A large number of civilians support the logistics and transportation of grain and grass, and even many civilians manufacture ordnance, etc., which will affect field cultivation, grain harvest, and even the production of other people's livelihood supplies. In short, the total impact will be great.  Yi Feng played with the paperweight on the case.  mused.  He is the emperor and must consider these and the overall situation.  Yang Guang in history, at the beginning of his succession.  The administration in the past few years was actually quite positive, and he was truly civilized and well-known.  A celestial dynasty system was established, and people from all directions came to dynasty.  Build canals and build the Great Wall.  Open trade routes and move the capital.  To destroy Tuyuhun, defeat Linyi, and subdue the Turks is quite an achievement.  But it only lasted less than seven years, and finally the whole country was in rebellion and war broke out.  Why, the chain is broken.  Now there are generals like Li Jing all over the court, and they are all excited. They want to draw their swords and immediately wipe out the four directions and bring down all the Tibetan states that refuse to surrender.  Of course it is good for me to have such positive thoughts, but there is a limit to this.  Excessive enthusiasm will cause the court to lose its stability and rationality, and problems will easily arise if it goes to extremes.  China has always advocated moderation, which means not going to extremes.  The whole country was immersed in the excitement of the Sui Dynasty's powerful armored soldiers and their desire to conquer all directions, but the emperor Yi Feng had to pour cold water on them and put the brakes on them.  The first is the Battle of Western Liaoning. It¡¯s time to end.  Although the army had just begun to enter western Liaoning, Yifeng was already thinking about how to end the war and how to reach a temporary armistice with Goguryeo.  It's not that Yi Feng is worried about not being able to defeat Goguryeo, but that Goguryeo is only one corner of the chessboard in the world, and it's not even the most important one right now.  If there had been no intrusion from Datou, Yi Feng might have reconsidered and decided based on the situation, whether to recover western Liaoning or continue to take advantage of the opportunity to advance to the east bank of the Liao River.  But now, Yi Feng doesn't want to be entangled in Liaodong too much.  Let¡¯s clean up the mess first and talk about the rest later.  The imperial court is not yet fully prepared for a comprehensive battlefield with Goguryeo. The top priority right now is to stabilize western Liaoning first, then divide the Turks, and then enfeoff the grasslands, thus emasculating this powerful force.  "As soon as the situation in western Liaoning becomes clear, bring Li Jing back to Beijing immediately." Yi Feng issued a secret order to Liu Ying, the commander of the Special Agents Department of the Supervisory Yuan.  "What if Li Jing disobeys the order?" Liu Ying asked. Li Jing is a person with a criminal record, and he is also the deputy envoy of the Privy Council. In today's political structure of the court, the Privy Council is a yamen alongside the political affairs hall. Li Jing, the deputy privy councillor,  The envoy is equivalent to the deputy prime minister.  He is commanding troops outside. If he doesn't obey his orders, Liu Ying will also?Method.  "If he really refuses to obey the order," Yi Feng frowned and sighed, "If it really comes to this, I authorize you to take him down and escort him back to the capital. If he dares to resist, you can treat him as a traitor.  Kill on the ground." It was very difficult for Yi Feng to say this, but now that he has become the emperor, some decisions must be made no matter how difficult they are.  Li Jing repeatedly ignored the emperor's will and the court's strategy, and took power without authorization. This was something the emperor could not tolerate under any circumstances.  Once this hole is opened, the impact will be extremely bad, and the worst thing is that it will affect the implementation of a series of decisions that Yi Feng will make later.  It is impossible to risk the safety of the country for the sake of a talented young marshal.  Liu Ying moved his lips, but in the end he said nothing. If things really come to that point, if Li Jing dares to openly resist the decree with force, no one will be able to protect him.  I believe that if he had some sense, he would know how to choose.  "Your Majesty, Queen, the Queen is about to give birth." Wang Hai jogged all the way into the palace, panting heavily to bring a piece of news.  "How is the situation now? Is there any imperial doctor?" Upon hearing this, Yi Feng stood up quickly.  "The imperial doctor has been called. The queen is in good condition." When Yi Feng rushed to the Li Zheng Hall, the queen had already begun to give birth.  Yi Feng just went inside, and several female officials and doctors came to stop him.  Refuse to let him in.  "I want to accompany the queen in person to give birth." Yi Feng said seriously.  Everyone was a little stunned. This woman never let her husband accompany her when giving birth.  But the emperor's attitude was so firm, and everyone hesitated. In the end, Yi Feng simply flicked his sleeves and went in directly.  After entering, Yi Feng ignored the shock of the female doctor who delivered the baby, walked directly to the bed and sat down, took Li Liyi's hand with both hands and held it.  "I'll be with you." Giving birth to a child is definitely an extremely painful thing for a woman, especially giving birth to her first child, and Li Liyi is still so young, less than 20 years old, giving birth to her first child.  The difficulty can be imagined.  Although she was a queen, the medical skills and conditions of this era were limited after all. Many women in this era died because of giving birth to children.  Dystocia, postpartum infection, etc.  A large proportion of women die in childbirth, and the majority of them die while giving birth to their first child.  Fortunately, Sun Simiao, a miracle doctor, is now in charge of the medical school and the imperial hospital. He has gained a lot of new medical knowledge from Yifeng, which has greatly improved the conditions for the queen's delivery.  Life has been protected in many ways, but it is still very dangerous.  Li Liyi suffered from severe abdominal pain and her whole body was wet with sweat.  Suddenly, the emperor came in and said softly that he would accompany her during the birth.  At that moment she felt extremely happy, and her body even regained a lot of strength.  The birth of this baby went quite smoothly.  Although it took a long time to go back and forth, the baby was finally born successfully.  "Your Majesty, how is the child? Is it a boy or a girl?" Li Liyi's hand was still squeezing Yi Feng's hand tightly. Regardless of her fatigue, she immediately asked the female doctor who delivered the baby.  "It's a prince." The medical officer carefully held the newborn, glanced between the little guy's legs, and happily announced the good news to the emperor and empress.  "Congratulations to Your Majesty and the Queen." Holding this little baby, the female doctor felt as heavy as holding a big mountain.  This is the prince, and the eldest son of the emperor and the queen. If nothing unexpected happens, this will be the future crown prince.  Li Liyi smiled happily. A boy was extremely important to her as the queen. There was not much difference between the royal family and the common people's family. In this era, everyone valued boys the same.  "Why doesn't he cry?" The queen suddenly thought of a question, the smile on her face froze, showing an anxious look, and she struggled to sit up.  Yi Feng quickly held her down and comforted her, "Children will not cry immediately after they are born, but it doesn't matter if they don't cry. Hold the baby's feet upside down and gently pat his back a few times, and he will cry.  "Come out." The female doctor was about to do this, but when she heard the emperor's words, she was surprised. She didn't expect that the emperor knew so much about newborn babies, so she didn't need to ask the emperor and empress for instructions again.  As the emperor said, he lifted the child upside down and patted the little prince's butt a few times.  "Wow wow wow - wow wow wow." The loud cry of a baby sounded.  The queen smiled happily, "He cried, he cried, his voice was so loud." "Yes, this boy is very energetic. Although he came into the world a little earlier than the expected date of delivery, he still has a long body.  He is very strong and has a loud voice. He will definitely be able to ride a strong horse and shoot a strong bow in the future. Well, he happens to be ranked third among the brothers. In the future, he might be able to inherit my title of White Horse Silver Spear Yi Sanlang. He can be called White Horse Silver  "It's Yang Sanlang." Yi Feng burst into laughter. This child is strong, even though he has not reached the due date, he has a loud voice and a strong body.He finally breathed a sigh of relief.  Mother and child are safe, very good.  "Your Majesty, the military situation in western Liaoning is urgently reported." Just as he was laughing, a report suddenly came from outside.  Yi Feng¡¯s smile faded, and he began to worry. Could something have happened to Li Jing?  "Your Majesty, I'm very happy. It's a good news. It's really a double happiness." Wang Haixian took the report and trotted in, shouting to Yi Feng with great joy.  "Good news? Did Li Jing's adventure succeed again? What kind of bullshit luck is this?" Yi Feng was surprised and began to marvel at Li Jing's luck.  "Great victory, great victory in Liaodong City. Wuwei Marquis Li Jing made a long-distance attack on Liaodong City and successfully captured Liaodong City, an important town on the Liaohe River." Wang Tong said excitedly while holding up the victory report.  When Yi Feng heard that it was indeed Li Jing's victory, he was so excited that he immediately grabbed the memorial. He really didn't expect that Li Jing's adventure would actually succeed. He had even made a long-distance attack plan for Li Jing before.  Failure, even the worst outcome would be that Li Jing not only failed to capture Liaodong City, but was trapped on the east bank of the Liao River.  But he never expected that Li Jing, with 30,000 troops, traveled a long distance and penetrated deep alone to seize the east gate of Goguryeo, a fortress with two layers of inner and outer walls, and he actually succeeded.  And judging from the time, it seems that Li Jing set off from Songshan and arrived at Liaodong City for about a day or two at this time.  And now that he has received the information from Liaodong, even if the carrier pigeon is sent down from Liaodong City, it should take at least a day after passing through Yuguan, Youzhou, Luoyang and other stations. Doesn't it mean that Li Jing galloped all the way to Liaodong City and then left?  In that way, Liaodong City was captured without any delay?  Yi Feng really wants to know how Li Jing did it.  ??In history, two kings, Yang Guang and Li Shimin, were blocked under that city and could not advance even an inch.  "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the double happiness." Wang Hai's old face smiled like a chrysanthemum.  Yi Feng couldn¡¯t help but laugh, it was indeed a double happiness.  For the first half of the day, he was still worried about the current situation. The war in western Liaoning might get out of control, and the Turks and Tuyuhun invaded again, giving Yi Feng no time to breathe and recuperate.  But half a day later, the queen gave birth to a big fat boy early, and there was a successor to the empire. Although Li Jing, a madman, was hated by Yi Feng, he was now loved by Yi Feng. His adventure was successful.  After carefully reading the good news, Yi Feng had a clearer understanding of Li Jing's adventure.  Li Jing is crazy, so crazy that it¡¯s hard to imagine.  Just like Yi Feng was furious when he heard about Li Jing's advance, the Goguryeo people did not expect that Li Jing would suddenly run a long distance to the east of Liucheng after his victory in Bailangcheng.  What they didn't even expect was that Li Jing, a lunatic, not only got behind them, but also went crazy again. He divided his troops into light cavalry and galloped for 400 miles. He went deep behind the enemy lines alone and directly attacked Liaodong City.  The defenders of Liaodong City also did not expect that Li Jing used the Goguryeo military robes and flags obtained from White Wolf City and some Goguryeo prisoners to easily capture the pontoon bridge left by Gao Yuan when he crossed the Liao River, and then quickly fought his way to the bottom of Liaodong City.  , the same trick was repeated, once again disguised as the Goguryeo army, pretending to be troops transferred back from Yingzhou, escorting a large number of Han prisoners.  The defender of Liaodong City never imagined that the people coming were actually Sui troops escorting some Goguryeo prisoners.  The city gate opened, Li Jing entered the city, and then, there was no more.  The Sui army that broke into the city successfully captured the city gate, and then all the eight thousand old and weak people left behind became Li Jing's prisoners.  Li Jing captured Liaodong City almost without bloodshed. The entire city was not damaged at all, and not even a single one of the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city escaped.  Along with the hundreds of thousands of stones, grain, grass and countless equipment hoarded in Liaodong City, they all fell into Li Jing's hands intact.  Now, Li Jing led 30,000 light cavalry and successfully captured Liaodong City, the eastern gate of Goguryeo.  Yi Feng let out a long sigh, this Li Jing is really a madman, but this crazy adventure was successful.  And this success is extremely important to Yi Feng and the entire Sui Dynasty.  "Move to the Privy Council immediately!" At this time, Yi Feng could no longer even take care of the newly born queen and the newly born eldest son. He unexpectedly captured Liaodong City, so the previous military deployment in western Liaoning had to be readjusted.  (To be continued) Chapter 547 Double Happiness:
