After killing Wang Bodang and letting Shan Xiongxin and the others go, Luokoucang was quiet for a while.
In addition, after the defeat of the Tile Gang Village, they had also stopped and reduced their range of activities. In recent days, there had been almost no signs of the Tile Gang Village's soldiers.
"It seems that the military counselor's counter-plot has worked.”
In the meeting hall of Luokoucang, Yang Ji revealed a meaningful smile.
Otherwise, the Wagang Village would have led their army here and vowed to avenge Wang Bodang.
There was absolutely no need to reduce the scope of their activities, ignore Wang Bodang's life and death hatred, and turn to take strict precautions against the Sui army.
"Royal grandson, if that's the case, should we pursue and annihilate the entire Wagang Village?”
Deputy General Wang Shichong cupped his hands and stepped forward.
Taking advantage of the internal strife in the Wa Gang Village, if they attacked with all their might, it was very likely that they would take down the entire Wa Gang Village in one fell swoop. Once the Wa Gang Village was destroyed, it would also have the effect of killing the chicken to warn the monkeys.
"No."
However, Yang Ji shook his head.
Most of the people in the Tile Gang Village were loyal to the martial world. Although there was internal strife, if they encountered external enemies, they could still work together to resist them.
If he wanted to drive a wedge between them and lead the army to attack, Yang Ji might as well not adopt Fang Xuanling's plan.
In addition, the objective of this battle against the Wagang Village had already been achieved, so why did they have to do something unnecessary?
Attacking the most powerful and strongest rebel army in the Wagang Village would have the effect of killing the chicken to warn the monkeys.
In addition, Luokou Cang was also firmly occupied by the Sui army, removing the greatest threat. They only needed to stay here.
At this moment, the Tile Gang Village could be developed by him. Under the counter-plot, Li Mi would take the initiative to weaken the strength of the Tile Gang Village. When he attacked again in the future, he would be able to take it down easily.
"If we attack, we will lose the meaning of the counter-spy tactic. The essence of the counter-spy tactic is to divide the strength of the Tile Gang Village.”
Fang Xuanling said.
Wang Shichong finally understood the logic behind this.
"Now that the battle against the Wagang Village is over, we should return to Luoyang, the eastern capital.”
Yang Ji stood up.
"Leave 10,000 soldiers stationed in Luoyang here. The rest of the army will return to Luoyang, the eastern capital.”
In the end, Yang Ji issued an order.
Following the order, Li Cunxiao and the others began to gather the army and prepare to leave Luokou Cang immediately.
After the army had gathered, their current strength was displayed. After the battle at Wagang Stronghold, the Luoyang garrison had lost about 10,000 soldiers, while the Sui soldiers and the Black Armor Army had almost no casualties.
After leaving behind 10,000 soldiers stationed in Luoyang, Yang Ji still had about 50,000 soldiers left.
"Let's go!"
The army gathered at the gate of Luokou Cang. With Yang Ji's command, the sound of hooves rang out.。
The first step to quelling the rebellion was completed. After that, it was time to clear out the remaining rebel forces.
After the army left, the remaining 10,000 troops stationed in Luoyang and the troops stationed in Luokou Cang immediately began to defend the city.
After all, with the departure of the imperial grandson, the Tile Garrison Army might make a comeback.
"With the departure of the Crown Prince of the Sui Dynasty, the crisis of the external invasion of the Tile Gang Village has been resolved. However, I'm afraid that the internal strife will not be resolved in a short period of time.”
At the Wa Gang Village, Xu Shiji gazed into the distance at the snake-like official road and sighed.
He had seen the retreat of the Sui army very clearly, but he had no intention of attacking Luokou Cang.
Even if he did, Li Mi would not trust him.
……
Rumble!
Countless warhorses were galloping on the official road near Luoyang.
The dust that covered the sky could not hide the sharpness of the Sui army's armor.
The sound of hooves was like thunder. The Sui army returned the way they came, and their speed was not much different from that of a rapid march.
Therefore, Yang Ji's return to Luoyang, the eastern capital, would not take too long.
At this moment, the city gate of Luoyang was clearly visible.
"The imperial grandson is back?"
"This is the imperial grandson who defeated the Turks. He truly has an extraordinary bearing!”
On the official road of Luoyang, when they saw the caravan of merchants from the Sui army, they hurriedly made way for them.
Many people immediately saw the mighty Huang Taisun, who held the Dragon Stripe Overlord Halberd in his hand.
"The imperial grandson is about to return triumphantly!"
The soldiers guarding the city far away on the official road rode fast horses and shouted loudly outside Luoyang.
This news was then transmitted from the city gate to the city and then to the main hall of the Imperial Palace.
Upon hearing this news, Yuwen Huaji, Su Wei, and the others hurriedly walked out of the Imperial Palace and headed to the city gates of Luoyang to welcome the Imperial Grandson.
Whoosh.
When the officials arrived, the neighs of the Dark Stallion horses could be heard clearly.
In the next second, Huang Taisun, who was wearing black armor and a black cloak, appeared in front of everyone with an army of 50,000.
"We welcome the triumphant return of the imperial grandson!”
The officials hurriedly cupped their hands and bowed.
Regarding the battle at Luo Kou Cang, it had actually been sent to Luoyang, the eastern capital, at the first possible moment.
Other than shock, there was no other reaction from the ministers. It was really suffocating.
"You're too polite."
Yang Ji tightened the reins in his hand and said indifferently.
Li Yuan looked at Li Xiu Ning and Li Shi Min and felt gratified.
After that, Yang Ji's army was stationed in Luoyang City while he and his ministers headed toward the Imperial Palace.
After returning to the Imperial Palace, Yang Ji first returned to the Eastern Palace to bathe and change his clothes. After that, he would hold his first court meeting since his return.
After bathing and changing his clothes, Yang Ji changed into a dragon robe with four dragons and five claws. He lost the imposing aura of a soldier and instead had the dignity of an emperor.
When the internal supervisor saw this, his body trembled slightly. He did not dare to look up at Huang Taisun. This was called the majesty of an emperor.
"Head to the main hall."
Yang Ji's voice was calm. At this moment, his body was not as burly as when he was wearing armor. Instead, he looked a little thin.
However, no one believed that the current Huang Taisun did not have any dignity. Instead, they believed that the dignity of the current Huang Taisun was even greater than when he was dressed in military attire.
"Ji 'er."
Just as he was about to head to the main hall, Yang Ji heard Imperial Grandmother's call.
When Yang Ji was in power, Empress Xiao had been worried. Now that Yang Ji had returned, she naturally hurried to visit him.
"Are you injured?"
Empress Xiao asked with concern after seeing Yang Ji in his dragon robe.
She was deeply afraid that her favorite grandson would be injured in the battle.
However, looking around, Yang Ji's skin was fair and not like a soldier's body at all. There was no scar at all. Since ancient times, only Zhao Zilong of the Three Kingdoms could do this.
"I'm sorry to have made imperial grandmother worry. Ji 'er is fine, and he isn't injured anywhere.”
Yang Ji smiled.
That smile was very different from his usual self. There was no sharpness or pressure, as if he was really the grandson of the royal grandmother.
"Imperial grandmother, Ji 'er still has to hold the court meeting. After the meeting ends, I'll come and accompany imperial grandmother.”
After exchanging pleasantries, Yang Ji held Imperial Grandmother's hand and said.
"Just like your grandfather, he only knows how to be busy. However, now that Ji 'er is the imperial grandson, he should indeed prioritize state affairs.”
Although Empress Xiao complained, she still let the imperial grandson quickly preside over the court meeting.
At this moment, in the main hall, all the officials had arrived. Yuwen Huaji and the others lowered their heads and pondered.
Today, the Imperial Grandson had made a lot of achievements, which was why he was named the Imperial Grandson, which dealt a heavy blow to the rebel army's arrogance.
Most importantly, the most troublesome of the rebel forces, the Wagang Village, was defeated by Huang Taisun in less than half a month.
Taking into account the time spent on the march, they had probably defeated the 150,000 troops of the Tile Gang Village in just 10 days.
Before Huang Taisun, King Reliance Yang Lin had fought against the Tile Garrison Army for quite some time, but he had never managed to achieve a great victory.
Now that Huang Taisun had done it, the meaning behind it was obvious.
At this moment, Yuwen Huaji's seemingly calm face was filled with surging waves in his heart.
"It seems that Great Sui is not as simple as we thought.”
Yuwen Huaji thought to himself.
Whether it was the talent displayed by the Emperor's grandson or the shocking West Ocean army, they could all be said to be the foundation of Great Sui.
Previously, Yuwen Huaji and the others had not thought of this at all. Therefore, when they saw the crumbling dynasty, they naturally had some small thoughts.
Not only Yuwen Huaji, but even Luoyang Manager Wang Shiyun and some other powerful families were the same.
But now, no one had such thoughts. No one was willing to end up like the Wa Gang Village and Shibi Khagan.
" From the performance of the imperial grandson, not only is the Great Sui's foundation still deep, but the royal family also has successors. Such a Great Sui should serve and create another prosperous Great Sui.”
Pei Ju thought to himself.
As for Li Tongke, Su Wei, Xiao Yu, and the others, there was naturally no need to say much. They were old officials from the late emperor's era, and their interests were closely related to the royal family.
Seeing that the imperial grandson had such talent, he naturally made up his mind to serve him well.
In addition, Li Yuan, who had chosen to serve Huang Taisun with all his might from the start, was probably the biggest winner in this situation.
This was because he had served the earliest, and his children were all working under the imperial grandson.
This made the ministers envious, but it also brought about a trend of expressing their attitude early on.
Ta Ta.
Just as the ministers were having their own thoughts, footsteps suddenly sounded.
Immediately after, the imperial grandson walked out of the imperial passage surrounded by the inner prison.
He had his hands behind his back and his expression was calm. His imperial appearance once again shocked everyone.
Yang Ji walked straight to the seat that belonged to the Emperor's grandson.
"Ascension!"
After Yang Ji sat down, the head of the internal supervision also shouted. The first court meeting of the triumphant return of the Emperor's grandson began.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
The ministers shouted and all bowed in unison.
Yang Ji narrowed his eyes slightly. The voices of the officials today seemed to be much louder than when he first attended the court.
"There's no need to be so polite."
Yang Ji deliberately dragged out his tone.
From his tone, the entire court became solemn and solemn. In addition, the court session would proceed according to Yang Ji's rhythm.
In other words, Yang Ji was going to try to take control of the central court today.
