Evaluation of Su Yang in Sui Dynasty

Su Yang (? —606.8.3 1), the word Chu Dao, was born in Huayin, Hongnong (now Huayin, Shaanxi), a powerful minister and poet in Sui Dynasty, an outstanding strategist and commander-in-chief.

Su Yang was born in the gentry, and his grandfather was Yang Xuan, a general and a doctor in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Father yangfu was the secretariat of Fenzhou in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Su Yang's "Less, More Ambitious, More Informal" (biography of Sui Shu Su Yang). At that time, many people were unknown, but Yang Kuan, the servant of his uncle Yang Kuan, a minister of the Northern Wei Dynasty, was different. Every time he mentioned Su Yang in front of future generations, he always said, "Being a Taoist is an extraordinary tool, and you can't catch it" (Biography of Sui Shu Su Yang).

After studying under Niu Hong, a stable man (later appointed as the official minister of the Sui Dynasty), he was knowledgeable and accomplished in literature and calligraphy. The history book says that he "studied tirelessly and learned a lot." Good at writing, working in the grass, paying attention to the angle of the wind. A beautiful woman must have a beard and a great figure "(biography of Sui Shu Su Yang). At that time, Yuwen Hu, the official of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, was in charge of state affairs and introduced him as the Chinese and foreign press agency. Later, he turned to Cao and added the viceroy.

In March of the seventh year of the Northern Zhou Dynasty (A.D. 572), Yu Wenyong, the emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, was in charge of the state affairs, and Su Yang was implicated because he was reused by Yuwen Hu. At this time, Su Yang died in Beiqi with his father yangfu, but he was not pursued by the court, so he appealed to the court. Emperor Wu of Zhou ignored it. Su Yang repeatedly served on the table, and Emperor Wu of Zhou was furious and ordered Su Yang to be killed. Su Yang said with a loud voice, "When I became a minister, there would be no way. When I die, I will be separated" (Biography of Sui Shu Su Yang). Hearing this, Emperor Wu of Zhou took Su Yang with new eyes, pardoned his innocence, and posthumously awarded his father as a general, loyal and strong. Worship Su Yang as a cycling general and the third division of Yitong, and gradually have a good impression on him. Emperor Wu of Zhou also ordered Su Yang to draft an imperial edict, which was flowery in words. Emperor Wu of Zhou praised: "Be good at encouraging yourself and don't worry about getting rich." However, Su Yang replied, "I am afraid that wealth will force me, but I have no intention of seeking wealth" (Biography of Sui Shu Su Yang).

In July of the fourth year of Jiande in the Northern Zhou Dynasty (575), Emperor Wu of Zhou led an army to attack the Northern Qi Dynasty, and Su Yang requested to lead his father's old army as a pioneer. Therefore, Emperor Wu of Zhou gave him a bamboo strategy, saying, "We should focus on the overall situation, so we will give it to you" (Biography of Sui Shu and Su Yang). Su Yang joined Yu Wenxian, the king of Qi, in attacking Heyin of Beiqi (now northeast of Luoyang, Henan Province), and sealed 500 households in Qinghe County. In the same year, he was awarded Dr. Si Cheng.

In October, the fifth year of Jiande in the Northern Zhou Dynasty (576), Su Yang once again followed Yu Wenxian to attack the Northern Qi and Kejinzhou (to rule Baimacheng today in Linfen, Shanxi). Yu Wenxian was in Harajuku, An Lushan, and the Northern Qi Emperor Gao Wei led the troops from Jinyang (now Taiyuan, Shanxi) to Jinzhou. Yu Wenxian heard that the main force of the Northern Qi army had arrived, so he was afraid and fled overnight. As a result, the Northern Qi Army caught up and the Northern Zhou Army was defeated. Su Yang and a dozen young soldiers tried their best to fight hard, and Yu Wenxian helped them out. Since then, Su Yang has repeatedly made meritorious military service. After the demise of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Su Yang, together with the government, changed it to Anxian County, with 1500 families, giving them millet, silk, handmaiden and miscellaneous animals.

In October, the sixth year of Jiande in the Northern Zhou Dynasty (577), Emperor Chen heard that the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Northern Qi, that is, he seized the opportunity to compete for the Huaibei area, so he sent a famous Wu Mingche to lead the army to the Northern Expedition. Wu Mingche's army arrived in Lvliang (now southeast of Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province) in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, defeated Liang Shiyan, general manager of Xuzhou, and entered Pengcheng (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province). In February (578), the seventh year of Jiande in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he led the general Wang to the rescue, finally defeated Chen Jun and captured Wu Mingche alive. Su Yang is in charge of East Chuzhou affairs. His younger brother, Yang Shen, was named Hou. Chen built a new city at the temple entrance, then demolished it and destroyed all the cities he built.

In June of the first year of Zheng Xuan in the Northern Zhou Dynasty (578), Emperor Wu of Zhou died and Xuan Di succeeded to the throne. After Xuan Di acceded to the throne, Su Yang attacked his father Lin Zhen and took his brother YueYang as An Chenggong. In the first year of the Northern Zhou Dynasty (579), Su Yang and Wei Xiaokuan, the last pillar country, attacked Chen Huainan (referring to the area south of Huaihe River). Among them, Su Yang led the troops to conquer Xuyi (now the northeast of Xuyi, Jiangsu) and Zhongli (now the northeast of Fengyang, Anhui).

On May 11th, the second year of the Northern Zhou Dynasty (580), the Northern Zhou Emperor Xuan Di Yu Wenzan died of illness. When Zhou Jingdi was young, he left the dictatorship of Prime Minister Wendi. Su Yang knew that Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty won the hearts of the people and had the intention of being proclaimed emperor, so he threw himself at himself and was deeply satisfied with it. Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty also knew Su Yang's talent and attached great importance to him, and soon made Su Yang a bianzhou secretariat.

On his way to Luoyang, Su Yang knew that Wei Chijiong, the manager of Xiangzhou (ruling Yecheng), and other troops were sent against Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty. Wei Chijiong was originally the nephew of Yu Wengong, the emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and he was very important. Emperor Wen of Sui was afraid that he had different plans. In the name of burying Xuan Di, he summoned his son Wei Chidun to the DPRK. Wei Xiaokuan was appointed as the general manager of Xiangzhou and went to Ye (now southwest of Linzhang, Hebei Province) to replace Wei Chijiong. In June, Wei Zedong openly opposed Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty for fear that his autocratic power would be detrimental to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Yu Wenzhou, the secretariat of Yingzhou, was imprisoned to welcome Wei Chijiong, which prevented Su Yang from moving forward.

On July 10th, Emperor Wendi of Sui sent troops to Guanzhong and appointed Wei Xiaokuan as the marching marshal. , Longgong Liang Shiyan, Le Anyong, Hua Zheng Wen Xin, Puyang Gong Yu Wen Shu, Wuxiang Gong Cui Hongdu, Longxi Xun and others are all marching generals, leading troops to crusade against Wei Chiqiong. He bowed to the general and led the troops from Hanoi to attack Yuwen Zhou and break it. Moved to Xuzhou, carried out in Guo Jia, sealed Qinghe County, and 2,000 households in the city. His brother is also called Lin Zhengong.

In February of the first year of the Northern Zhou Dynasty (58 1), Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, the prime minister in charge of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, abolished Zhou Lisui, changed the yuan to open the emperor, and increased Su Yang as a foreign country. And participated in the revision of the laws of the Sui Dynasty. In the fourth year of the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (584), he paid tribute to the empire. Because his wife Zheng is a shrew, she once quarreled with him and said, "If I were the son of heaven, I would be the queen" (Biography). As a result, he was denounced by his wife, and Su Yang was found guilty and dismissed.

This experience almost ruined Su Yang's future. Fortunately, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty has been preparing to destroy the Chen Dynasty and unify China. Su Yang has proposed to attack Chen Zhice several times. After being dismissed from office this time, Su Yang was not idle, and proposed to crack down on Chen Zhice. In October (585), the fifth year of the Emperor's reign, Su Yang was appointed as the secretariat of Xinzhou, running in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and giving millions of dollars, 1,000 knots and 200 horses.

In the seventh year of Jian 'an (587), Zuo Fu of Shangshu shot Gao Jiong, He Ruobi of Wu Zhou, Gao Gai of Gwangju, Cui of Gwangju, etc., fighting for the policy of pacifying Chen. Su Yang built "Infinite" in Yong 'an (Badong County, now Fengjie East, Sichuan) (the building is five stories high and more than 100 feet high; Six wooden poles are placed on the left, right and back, which are 50 feet high and can accommodate 800 soldiers. Warships such as "Huanglong" have been strengthened to prepare for the elimination of Chen. And deliberately floated the shipbuilding waste in the river to shock Chen people.

In March of the eighth year (588), Emperor Wendi of the Sui Dynasty issued an imperial edict listing Chen Houzhu's crimes, and sent 20 letters to expose his crimes, and distributed 300,000 letters in the south of the Yangtze River to win the hearts of the people. In October, Emperor Wendi of Sui established Huainan Province in Shouchun (now Shouxian County, Anhui Province), and the King of Jin was the prefect, responsible for destroying Chen. Su Yang,,, for the March marshal, Gao Jiong for marshal, right servant for syma. The centralized water army is 50,000/kloc-0,000/.8,000, which is unified in, facing the sea in the east and Bashu in the west, with standard ships spanning thousands of miles. Attack Chen from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to the lower reaches in eight ways. Among them, Su Yang commanded the main force of the water army, went out of Badong County, went downstream and eastward, and was responsible for destroying the Chen water army along the Yangtze River and the coast. 1 1 month, Emperor Wen of Sui swore to Dingcheng (now Huayin East, Shaanxi Province) to prepare to cross the river to reach the north bank of the Yangtze River and complete the attack preparation.

/kloc-In early February, according to Sui and Chen's plan, we first led a boat division to attack from Badong County to the east, to the Three Gorges and to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. When the army arrived at Liutou Beach (also known as Hutou Beach, now northwest of Yichang, Hubei Province), Chen Xin led more than 100 Qinglong warships, with thousands of soldiers, and held fast to the Wolf Tail Beach ahead (now northwest of Yichang, Hubei Province, in the middle of the Yangtze River) to stop Sui Jun. The Wolf Tail Beach was steep and fast-flowing, so it was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and all the generals would suffer. Su Yang thought: "Winning or losing is a matter of one stroke. If you get off the boat during the day, you will see me and the beach will flow quickly. If you can't control people, you will lose your convenience "(biography of Sui Shu Su Yang). So I decided to take the policy of land and water cooperation and converging attack, and take a night attack to defeat it. Su Yang led thousands of Huanglong warships, using the darkness of night to make soldiers enter and make a positive breakthrough; Get out of the way and attack the infantry from the south bank of the Yangtze River with the third division of Wang Chang; General Liu Ren 'en led his armor from Jiangling (now Hubei) to the west and attacked Chen Jun's Baisha (now Yichang East) along the north bank of the Yangtze River. Sui Jun went hand in hand with land, and at dawn the next day, he defeated Qi Ting and his men in one fell swoop. Qi fled, and all his men were captured. Su Yang didn't kill or humiliate the prisoners, but after being comforted, they were all released. Are you kidding? Chen Ren is happy. In this campaign, the right attack opportunity was chosen, and the water army raided, and the infantry and cavalry on both sides of the strait complemented each other, making a quick decision, which created favorable conditions for the development of the war situation to annihilate Chen. Implementing the policy of preferential treatment for prisoners is conducive to winning more Chen Bing.

Su Yang led the water army to continue down the river, and at that time, "the ship was submerged by the river, which was a glorious day" (Biography of Sui Shu Su Yang). Su Yang sat on a big ship as an equal, commanding. Chen people looked at him in fear and said, "Duke Qinghe is also a river god" (Biography of Sui Shu). Chen Huiji's secretariat Chen Jingzhou sent Nankang Shilu Town to guard the pavilion (now the mouth of Xiling Gorge of the Yangtze River), cut holes in the rocks on both sides of the river and tied three iron cables on the river to deter warships. In order to stick to the canyon, he donated all his possessions to the army, so Chen Jun's fighting spirit was high and his defense was very strict. In the first month of the ninth year of Jian 'an (589), he divided his troops to cooperate with the general's army and stormed Chen's camp on the shore. Su Zhong led the army to resist according to risks and fought fiercely for more than forty times. Sui Jun suffered heavy casualties and more than 5,000 people died. In order to get credit and reward, Chen Jun cut off the nose of the deceased, which aroused Sui Jun's anger, fought to the death and won many times. All the captured soldiers Chen and Chen were released. Under the fierce attack, Lu was forced to abandon the camp gate and flee. Su Yang ordered his soldiers to destroy the chains of Lanjiang River and continue down the river.

Lu retreated to Jingmen Yanzhou (now in the middle of the Yangtze River near Zhijiang, Hubei Province), relying on the danger of Jingmen Mountain to deter again. Yang Supai sent Bayan foot soldiers 1000 who were good at sailing, took four "five-toothed" warships, smashed more than Chen warship 10 with poles, captured more than 2,000 people, and defeated the army again. Lu fled alone. Chen Xinzhou, who was stationed in Anshucheng, Jiang Nanan (now the south bank of the Yangtze River northwest of Yidu, Hubei), also abandoned the city and fled. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Chen Huiji, who was stationed in the public security (now in northwest Hubei), burned her savings, led 30,000 troops and more than 1,000 warships, and retreated to the east downstream in an attempt to build health (now in Nanjing), but was stopped by the king of Qin in the west of Hankou (now where the Hanshui River in Hubei enters the Yangtze River). East of Baling, no one dares to keep it. Chen Xiangzhou secretariat, Wang Yueyang Chen Shushen also fell to Su Yang. In this campaign, Su Yang and Liu Ren 'en cooperated with the water army and infantry to break Chen Jun's Jiang 'an stronghold first, and then joined the water army warships to crush the enemy. Sui's large warship "Infinite" and heavy racket equipment showed their power in the battle. The policy of preferential treatment for prisoners has a positive effect on disintegrating the Chen army and cooperating with military strikes. At this point, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River were controlled by Sui Jun, which prevented Chen's army from helping the East and ensured the main force of the lower reaches to cross the river.

After Sui Jun won the battle of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, Su Yang led the main force along the Yangtze River to the east, and joined forces with Yang Jun, the king of Qin, in Hankou (at that time, Sui Jun, the downstream, had already fallen to Jiankang), and at the same time, he sent troops south to expand the results. In early February, Zhou Xue and Liu Renen were sent to attack Xiangzhou. Defeat Chen Xiangzhou who went out of the city to fight, help defend Chen, Fan and others, and capture Chen Shushen alive. Liu Rensi's army captured Wu Juye in Qiao Heng (now Changde, Hunan). The pacification of Xiangzhou and other places prepared a base for Sui to March into Lingnan.

Back in the army, Su Yang was named Lord of Jue Camp because of his outstanding military exploits, with 3,000 households in the city and 1,000 households in Changshou County. Taking his son Yang Xuangan as an instrument, he made Yang Xuan the Duke of Qinghe County. Give things ten thousand yuan, millet mangoku, gold and silver treasures, and fourteen prostitutes to Chen. Su Yang went on to say, "Ceng Zi, the mother of scenic spots, is not allowed. Contrary to Wang Yi, the former was sealed in Ying, and I don't want to agree with it (Biography of Sui Shu and Su Yang). So he changed his name to Lord Yue. June, white; In July of the 10th year of Emperor Kai (590), it was transferred to the order of literature and history.

Jiangnan since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, aristocratic men have been oppressing cloth. After the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen and unified China, the southern gentry were dissatisfied with the restrictive policy implemented by the Sui Dynasty, so they took advantage of the public's panic about the rumor that Sui wanted to immigrate to Guanzhong and took the opportunity to incite rebellion. Ten years in November, Wu Zhou (now Jinhua, Zhejiang), Yuezhou (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang), Suzhou and Shenyang were attacked. They all opposed the Sui Dynasty, claiming to be the son of heaven and appointing officials. , Li Cheng (now Nanjing Zhongshan), Le 'an (now Zhejiang Xianju West), Cai Daoren, Wenzhou Shen, Quanzhou (now Fuzhou), and other places. , claiming to be the viceroy, rose up and captured the counties, so the counter-insurgency action generally spread to the whole territory of the original Chen. Tens of thousands of people are big and thousands of people are small, echoing each other and killing officials in the Sui Dynasty. In the face of such a grim situation, Emperor Wendi of Sui ordered Su Yang to lead the army in counterinsurgency as a marching general.

Su Yang led an army to cross the river from Yang Zijing (now Yangzhou South, Jiangsu Province), and first defeated the rebel Zhu (who claimed to be the secretariat of South Xuzhou) at Jingkou (now Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province). Then he defeated Gu Shixing of Jinling (now Changzhou, Jiangsu), and Gu Shixing led his commander Bao to other places. Su Yang broke it and captured more than 3000 people. Wuxi, Pingzhi, Lu Ye was attacked again. At that time, Shen Xuanheng and Shen Jie were besieging Suzhou, and Huangfu's secretariat was repeatedly defeated. Yang rushed to defeat it. Shen Xuanheng fled to Nansha, Liu, and Su Yang attacked Liu in Songjiang, breaking it, and captured Liu and Shen Xuanheng alive. The rebels Shen Xue and Shen Nengjian held their positions, attacked and pulled them out.

Gao Zhihui (self-proclaimed secretariat of East Yangzhou) led the troops to Daying (now Qiantang River) on the east coast of Zhejiang, and he was stationed at the key point. Fiona Fang is a hundred miles away, and there are thousands of ships covering the river, clamoring for it. The son-in-law suggested to the wet nurse, "Wu people are tired and sharp, and they are good at boating." A dying thief is hard to compete with. The public was attacked on all sides, so he didn't meet the challenge. He took a leave of absence and dived across the river to cover its walls, so that he couldn't fight. This Han Xin defeated Zhao Zhice (Biography of Northern History and Lesire). Su Yang listened to his words, and ordered him to lead hundreds of light warships, sneak into Zhejiang, raid with surprise attackers, and burn the camp behind Gao Zhi, which made him afraid and uneasy; Su Yang took the opportunity to lead the army to attack from the front and defeated the highly intelligent army. Later, Shi Wansui, the general manager of Yang Supai's March, led two thousand troops to capture Wuzhou. From then on, he led the main force to pursue the wisdom of fleeing to the sea by sea and took Wenzhou directly. High wisdom to fight, Su Yang defeated it and captured thousands of people. Then pacify Cai Daoren and Wang Wenjin. After defeating Shen in Wenzhou, he moved from land to Tiantai and Linhai (now Zhejiang) to pursue the anti-Sui skirmishers, fighting 100 times. Gao Zhi retreated to Fujian and Vietnam.

At this time, Emperor Wendi of the Sui Dynasty ordered Su Yang to enter the DPRK, taking into account the time of the commander-in-chief of the Sui army. At the same time, Yang Xuangan, his son, was added as an official residence, and 3,000 colored objects were given. Su Yang, on the other hand, thought: "If you don't kill thieves, I'm afraid it will be a future trouble" (Biography of Sui Shu Su Yang), so he wrote to ask for an extension to return to Beijing and continue to fight bandits. Emperor Wendi of Sui appreciated Su Yang's move very much, so he wrote a letter saying: "I care about the people, forget to eat and sleep every day, and I am deeply satisfied with losing everything." Outside the river, they are crazy and cunning, and they are rebellious. Although they were eliminated, the people did not stop them. There are still thieves who escape to the cave, fearing that they will get together and disturb the whole life again. In the history of the country, it is better to be a private soldier and general marshal, to spread the wind, to be inspiring and mighty, to capture the defeated and to comfort. Military and Political Committee "(Biography of Sui Shu Su Yang). Su Yang continued to lead the army from Huiji (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang) to Quanzhou by sea.

At that time, Wang Guoqing, a native of Quanzhou, was a Nan 'an Haozu, who killed the secretariat Rickas. According to the state civil strife, the fleeing rebels are attached to him. Wang Guoqing thought that the sea was dangerous, but the Sui army mostly came from the north and was not used to naval battles, so they were unprepared. Su Yang led the navy to cover by sea. Wang Guoqing was so scared that he abandoned the state and fled. His troops either entered the island or guarded the creek cave. So Su Yang sent a general to go hand in hand with land and water. A secret message was sent to Wang Guoqing: "Your crime cannot be punished. Only by cutting off wisdom can you stop blaming (Biography of Sui Shu Su Yang). Wang Guoqing seized Kochi and sent him to Sui Jun. Su Yang beheaded him, and everyone else surrendered. At this point, Jiangnan was completely settled. In this war, Su Yang declined the imperial edict of returning to the DPRK to recuperate, insisted on eliminating all evils, pursued and eliminated the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River, and played a positive role in consolidating the unity of the Sui Dynasty and developing production. Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty sent the left general Dugu Tuo to meet Sui Jun as a reward. When he returns to Beijing, the questioner will arrive. Emperor Wendi of Sui presented the Yang Xuan Award as an instrument, giving 40 Jin of gold and a silver bottle. In fact, he gave him 3000 yuan, 200 horses, 2000 sheep, and 100 hectares of public land.

In December of the twelfth year of Emperor Kai (592), Yang Suwei was the right servant of Shangshu, and he was the same clan as Gao Jiong, the left servant of Shangshu.

Su Yang was withdrawn and argumentative. Among courtiers, he pushed Gao Jiong, praised Niu Hong, accepted Xue Daoheng and despised Su Wei. Most of the other major subjects were bullied by them. Its talent style is better than that of Gao Jiong, but the way to run the country is not as good as that of Gao Jiong.

In February of the 13th year (593), Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty built Renshou Palace in the north, and ordered it to be supervised. Su Yang invited the secretariat of Laizhou, Yuwen Kai as a proofreader, and the clerk named Deyi as a civil affairs supervisor. In order to consolidate his political interests and please Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, Su Yang built a palace in the Yi Valley, worshiped the pavilion and turned to visit relatives. And "the service is urgent, Ding Fuduo is dead and exhausted. He pushed and filled, and covered the pit with mud and stones. In this way, he was built on the ground. Tens of thousands of the dead "("Zi Tongzhi Jian "Volume 178).

In March of the 15th year (595), Renshou Palace was built, and Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty went to Renshou Palace. It was a hot day, "It's better to learn to burn it than to die" (Book 178). Its brutality is outrageous. Prior to this, Emperor Wendi of Sui sent Gao Jiong to inspect, and Gao Jiong truthfully reported: "It is quite beautiful, which is a great loss for people" (Biography of Sui Shu and Su Yang), which displeased Emperor Wendi. When Emperor Wendi of the Sui Dynasty arrived at Renshou Palace, he was furious when he saw how luxurious the palace was: "Urge people to leave the palace and make enemies for me" (Book 178 of "Learning from Mutual Aid"). Su Yang was very scared and worried that he would be blamed. She was at a loss, so she asked Feng Deyi for advice. Feng Deyi is evil and scheming, so he said to Su Yang, "Don't worry about the public. When the queen arrives, there will be a letter of gratitude. " Su Yang immediately visited the Queen Dugu at the north gate and said, "The laws of the imperial court have left the palace and the pavilion. Now the world is at peace. What is the cost of building this palace? " (Biography of Sui Shu Su Yang)! The next day, Emperor Wendi summoned Su Yang to ask him, while the Queen Dugu defended Su Yang: "As we all know, my husband and wife are too old to entertain themselves. It is unfilial to decorate this palace "(Zi Tongzhi Jian 178)! As a result, Su Yang was not convicted, but got one million dollars and three thousand silks. From then on, Su Yang won the trust of Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty. On the other hand, Su Yang relies on money to bully others, but only rewards Feng Deyi who helped him. From then on, Feng Deyi became Su Yang's confidant. Su Yang often talks with him about the position of Prime Minister. He is very tired all day. He also caressed his bed and said, "Lang Feng must be my seat" (Book of Capital and Rule, Volume 178). Feng Deyi was promoted as a folk historian by Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty on the recommendation of Su Yang.

Since the early years of Sui Dynasty, Sui adopted the plan of Sheng and always used deviant tactics to deal with Turks, which led to a long-term internal scuffle. In the seventeenth year (597), Emperor Wendi of Sui allowed Tuli Khan, the younger brother of Dulan Khan, to marry Princess Anyi, and deliberately gave him generous courtesy to alienate Dulan Khan. Dulan Khan fruit was angered, so he cut off the tribute many times and harassed Suibian.

In the 19th year of Emperor Kai's reign (recorded in the Biography of Sui Shu and Su Yang in 599 as eighteen years, which was incorrect), in February, Tugu Hunhan reported that Dulan Khan had made siege equipment and was ready to attack the big city (northeast of Urad Qianqi, Inner Mongolia). Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty appointed Hanwang Yang Liang as a marshal (in fact, he didn't go to the front), took Su Yang out of Lingzhou (governing Le Hui, now southwest of Lingwu in Ningxia), left servant Gao Jiong of Shangshu out of Shuozhou (governing Yang Shan, now Shuoxian in Shanxi), and Lord Yan Rong out of Youzhou (governing Jixian, now southwest of Beijing), and attacked the Turks in three ways.

When Dulan Khan learned that the Sui army was coming to attack, he formed an alliance with Big Head Khan and joined forces to attack Tuguyun Khan. In April, Yang met with Datou Khan in the north of Lingzhou. Prior to this, when the Sui generals were at war with the Turks, they all used the array of chariots, cavalry and infantry for fear of the fierceness of the Turkish cavalry. Antlers, thistles and other things are set around the array, and the cavalry stays at the bottom. Su Yang thought: "This is the way to stand on your own feet, not the way to win" (Biography of Sui Shu Su Yang). So he gave up this self-conservative and backward formation, changed his tactics, and ordered the armies to spread out their cavalry positions. Great Khan listened to the exultation and said, "This is a gift from me" (Biography of Sui Shu Su Yang). He dismounted and bowed to the sky, that is, he led more than 10,000 elite troops to Sui Jun. Seeing that the Turks were eager to win, the formation was incomplete, and Zhou Luo, the third master of ceremonies, asked him to lead a fine ride to meet them. Su Yang ordered the army to follow up and defeated the Turks. Khan fled with serious injuries, causing numerous casualties and leaving in tears.

On the other hand, Sui Jun, under the leadership of Gao Jiong, also defeated the Turks. Dulan Khan fled after defeat and was killed by his men. Sui Jun crossed Baidao (northwest of Hohhot, Inner Mongolia) and Qinshan (now Daqingshan, Inner Mongolia) for more than 700 miles, and returned to Li. 10, sui dynasty named the Turkic Khan, and ordered 50,000 people to build Dali city in the northwest of Shuozhou (now Tuchengzi in northwest Inner Mongolia and Linger), which made him attractive to other Turkic tribes and played an important role in splitting and disintegrating Turks and promoting national integration.

In this campaign, Su Yang dared to abandon the old and backward conservative array of mutual defense by car, riding and foot, and boldly used cavalry assault to win a great victory, which once again showed his outstanding military talent. After the war, Emperor Wendi wrote a letter of commendation and gave Su Yang 20,000 horses and 10,000 nails. Plus his son, Yang Xuangan, is a general, and the awards, cases and Yang Jishan are all the same.

Su Yang's "Too many forces, too few plans, taking the opportunity to defect, caught off guard" (Biography of Sui Shu Su Yang). At the same time, the army is strictly managed, and those who violate military orders will be cut without forgiveness and will not be tolerated. Find the shortcomings of soldiers before each battle and then kill them. More than a hundred people at a time, as few as a dozen people. Because of killing too many people, it was "bleeding", but Su Yang was as cool as a cucumber. When the two armies confronted each other, Su Yang shilling took a couple of hundred men to meet them. If they win, that's enough. If you run away after defeat, no matter how many, you will be beheaded. Then send 200 to 300 people to see them, and if they fail, kill them. Therefore, Su Yang's men are in great awe of him, and they all have the heart of death when fighting, so they are invincible and are called famous soldiers. Su Yang was very popular at that time, and Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty obeyed him, so he asked all soldiers who fought for Su Yang to record their exploits. Although other commanders have made great contributions, they have all been condemned by civil servants. Therefore, although Su Yang is tough and fierce, all the soldiers are willing to fight with him because he can be both hard and soft.

In April of the 20th year (600 years), Bukahan led an army to invade Suibian. Emperor Wendi of the Sui Dynasty ordered Su Yang and Yang Guang of the Sui and Jin Dynasties to leave Lingzhou (southwest of Lingwu, Ningxia), and at the same time ordered Yang Liang and Zhu of Hanwang to leave Shuozhou (Shuoxian, Shanxi) for a long time, converging on Buka Khan. In order to cultivate his own power, Yang Guang personally made friends with Su Yang. Su Yang also knew that Yang Guang wanted to take this position, so he voted for him.

At this point, Prince Yong Yang has fallen out of favor with Wendi and Queen Dugu. Yang Guang coveted the position of the prince for a long time and knew the reason why the prince fell out of favor, so he deliberately pretended to be himself. He only lives in Xiaofei. When Emperor Wendi came to his residence, he hid his beautiful concubine in another room, leaving only an old lady in coarse clothes to wait on him, and musical instruments were all over the room. Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty thought that Guang Guang was not good at music. Yang guang also bribed the palace, and everyone called Yang guang "Renxiao". The fortune teller said to Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty: Jin is "beyond words", the heir to the throne, and "the queen's love should be matched with it". Blinded by this series of illusions, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty had the intention of abandoning courage. Then, Yang Guang took the opportunity to enter the palace and burst into tears in front of the lonely queen, pretending that Prince Yong Yang was going to kill him. Queen Dugu was furious and cursed Yang Yongru as a "dolphin dog", determined to abolish Prince Yong.

When Yang Guang Town was in Yangzhou, he was in close contact with Yuwen Shu, the general manager of Anzhou, and asked Yuwen Shu to advise him. Yuwen Shu said, "The Crown Prince has lost his love for a long time, and your virtue is unknown to the world. Your majesty, Wang Renxiao, has made outstanding contributions. The Lord loves the inner palace and looks at the king from all over the world. However, for those who abolish the legislature, this is a national event between father and son, and it is not easy to seek. However, the only one who can move the Lord is Yang Suer. A wise man only dates his brother. Tell ya's appointment, please go to Beijing to meet it, and * * * will be abolished "(Biography of Sui Shu and Yuwen Shu). Yang Guangwen was overjoyed and immediately asked Yuwen Shu to bring many treasures back to Beijing.

At that time, YueYang was a young girl in Dali. What Yang does is to discuss with him before doing it. After Yuwen Shu returned to Beijing, he hosted many banquets for YueYang. After drinking the wine, Yuwen Shu showed YueYang his rare treasures. YueYang is greedy for money. Seeing so many treasures, he couldn't put it down. Yuwen Shu offered to gamble with Yang and lost the treasure to Yang. Yang felt a little embarrassed because of his high income, so he went back to Yu Wenshu's house for dinner. Many treasures were mentioned at the dinner, and Yuwen Shu said, "This gift from the King of Jin made the Duke of Syria happy." YueYang was startled: "Who is it" (Biography of Sui Shu and Yuwen Shu)? Yuwen Shu said: "Husbands should be upright and take the right path, so as to consolidate what people and ministers have always done, oppose economic cooperation and justice, and achieve what leaders have ordered. Since ancient times, sages and gentlemen always know the news in time to avoid disaster. The brother of the public, fame and fortune, when using the road, is old. The courtiers are humiliated by the first step, and they can still win! And Chugong did whatever he wanted, gnashing his teeth every time he came to power. Although the public and their owners are bound, there are many people who want to harm the public. Once the Lord abandons his minister, how can the public take refuge? Now, the crown prince has lost his love for the queen, and the master has a heart of dethroning, which is well known. If you ask the king of Jin today, it's in my brother's mouth. If you can make great contributions at this time, Wang will be engraved on the bone marrow, and Si will go to the danger of spawning and become the security of Mount Tai "(Biography). Yang Yueran said, immediately found Su Yang, he felt the same way. Su Yang was overjoyed when he heard this. He clapped his hands and said, "My wisdom is not as good as this. I owe you." YueYang knew his plan and said to Su Yang, "Today's queen's words are useless in the world. Might as well take the opportunity to make a promise as early as possible, so that bandits can only protect Rong Lu and carry on the family line. Moreover, the king of Jin became more and more famous as a courtier, and frugality had the wind of the Lord. With this promise, he can defend the world. Brother, if he hesitates, once he changes, the prince will come in handy and he will be afraid of disaster "(Biography of Sui Shu Yue Yang). Yang Sushen accepted his words and acted according to the plan. In addition, Su Yang often conspires with Yuwen Shu to plan this matter.

A few days later, Su Yang went to visit the Queen Dugu, saying that "the King of Jin is filial and thrifty, with the highest class" to speculate on the Queen Dugu. Queen Dugu said with tears, "That's fair. My son is very filial. Every time he hears the Supreme and my emissary, he will be greeted at the head of the territory. If you break your word, you won't cry. And his bride was poor, so I sent my maid to sleep with her and eat with her. How can you sit opposite Ayun, feasting all day, being close to the villain and being suspicious of your own flesh and blood? Therefore, I am always afraid of secretly killing those poor Ah Yi "(Biography of Sui Shu Yang Yongchuan). Su Yang immediately tried to say that Prince Yong Yang was incompetent after knowing the intention of Queen Dugu. Queen Dugu was overjoyed. She rewarded the field elements and invited him to take part in the abolition.

Yong Yang was worried when he heard the news, but he didn't know what to do. Emperor Wendi of Sui also knew that he was not safe, so he sent Su Yang to the East Palace to observe his movements. Convinced, so he waited for Sue in a dress, but deliberately refused to enter the door, which angered him. Yong Yang was angry to know that Su Yang had insulted him. Yang Susui reported to Wendi: "I am afraid that he will change, and I am willing to guard against it" ("Biography of Yang Yong in Sui Shu")! Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty was more suspicious of Yong Yang.

At the same time, Queen Dugu also sent people to collect Yong's faults, polish them and report them to Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty. Yang Guang also ordered the Military Section of the Governor's Office to bribe the minister of the Orient, Wiki, to observe the movement of Yong Yang and report to Su Yang, so "internal and external slander, negligence is heard every day". Yuan Chong, the Taishi Gong, also said to Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, "I will observe astronomy, but I will abolish the Crown Prince." Emperor Wendi of the Sui Dynasty said, "The mysterious image has been seen for a long time, and the ministers dare not speak" (Zi and Jian, volume 179).

In September, Emperor Wendi summoned ministers in Daxing Hall, arrested several people, including Tang, the son of the prince, and ordered the accusation of the East Palace to be announced. Su Yangxian said, "I sent a gift to Xiang Jing, asking the Crown Prince to investigate Liu Jushi's figurehead. The prince was appointed by the imperial edict, and his flesh and blood soared. The minister said:' The laity party has tried its best to abide by the law, where can it send me to beg! I am right-handed, but I don't trust you. I'll check it myself. What does it have to do with me? "There is another cloud:' I was punished for failure in the past, and now I am the son of heaven, not as good as a brother. If I fail in this or that, I can't do it myself. He sighed deeply, looked back at the cloud and said, "I don't feel well." (Zi Zhi Tong Jian Volume 179). "

Emperor Wendi went on to say: "This son has been unwilling to inherit for a long time, and the queen has been urging me to abolish it. I was born in cloth and lived on the land for a long time. I hope to change gradually and endure it until now. The smell of courage refers to the queen's servant, saying,' It's all mine.' What a strange thing to say! When his wife died, I deeply suspected that she was poisoned. I tasted the blame and bravely said,' It will kill Yuan Xiaozhi.' This desire to hurt me is angry. When Changning was born, I adopted with the queen, cherished each other and even gave it to me. And Genting Xingnv, born out of wedlock, think about this origin, why is it a body! Yesterday, King Jin married the butcher's daughter, and his son was a good butcher. If there is no class today, it will be a mess. Although I am ashamed of Yao Shun, I will not make friends with the black sheep of my family name! I am always afraid of its harm, such as defending the enemy; Today, I want to abolish it to protect the world "(Zi Jian, Volume 179)!

Wu Yuan, the general of Zuo Wei, earnestly warned, "If you abolish major events and carry out the imperial edict, you will regret it. It's no use slandering, your majesty. " Emperor Wendi of Sui should not tell Wiki about Yong Yang's crimes. When Emperor Wendi of Sui heard about it, he locked Yong Yang up and recruited his henchmen. At the same time, Su Yang's dance is clever and contemptuous, and she practices to become a prison.

A few days later, a company told Yang that Hao Yuan was a brave comrade and he was arrested and put in prison. Su Yang also forced Yong Yang to confess that he wanted to raise thousands of horses for rebellion, and bravely defended himself, saying, "It's against me to steal tens of thousands of horses from the public and prepare thousands of horses for the prince bravely" (History as a Mirror 179)! Su Yang also showed the clothes and toys in the East Palace to the officials to show Yong Yang's crimes.

In October, Emperor Wendi summoned officials of civil and military affairs in Wude Hall, and abolished Yong Yang as Shu Ren. Yong Yang's eldest son, Wang Ning Yang Yan, is the eldest grandson of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty. He complained to Su Wei in the above table, and his words were mournful. Wendi was very moved. Su Yang also defiantly said, "It is not appropriate to pay attention to the fear of the sacred heart" (Zi Jian, Volume 179).

Soon, under the auspices of, Hao Yuan and Tang were beheaded. Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty also rewarded those who made meritorious deeds to abolish the Prince, giving Yang Suwu 3000 pieces, zhou yuan and YueYang each 1000 pieces. Since then, Su Yang has gained the upper hand.

In the same month, Shi Wansui, the Duke of Taiping, conquered Dajinshan (today's Daqingshan in Inner Mongolia) and won the dynasty. Su Yang was jealous of his achievements and slandered Shi Wansui in front of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty: "The Turks were originally descended, not bandits at first, but came to the frontier to raise livestock" (Biography of Sui Shu and Shi Wansui). Therefore, he buried his own work and did not praise it. At this time, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty began to return to Beijing from Renshou Palace, and just abolished Prince Yong Yang, so he was on guard against the change of the Eastern Palace. Emperor Wendi of Sui asked where he was now, when he was in the court, but when he saw that Emperor Wendi was angry, he deliberately said "Long live the visit to the East Palace" (Biography of Sui Shu and Shi Wansui). Anger Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty. Emperor Wen of Sui believed it and immediately ordered Shi Wansui to be summoned. At that time, hundreds of soldiers went to war in North Korea for justice, and Shi Wansui said to them, "Today, I speak for you, and it's time to decide" (Biography of Sui Shu and Shi Wansui). When Shi Wansui met with Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, he said, "Soldiers have merits and were suppressed by the imperial court" (A Mirror of Resources and Tongzhi 179)! Angry words, arrogant. Emperor Wendi became more and more angry, which made the samurai
