's father Shi Jing was the governor of Cangzhou, Northern Zhou. was "young heroic, good at riding and shooting, and was as victorious as flying. He liked to read military books and was also good at divination" ("Book of Sui - Biography of "). In the fourth year of Baoding in the Northern Zhou Dynasty (564), Northern Zhou and Northern Qi fought in Beimshan, north of Luoyang City (now north of Luoyang City, Henan). The 15-year-old joined the army with his father. He observed the situation on the battlefield and believed that the Zhou army was defeated and ordered the left and right to change clothes and leave. Soon, the Zhou army was indeed defeated, and his father was surprised. In the sixth year of Jiande in the Northern Zhou Dynasty (577), Emperor Wu of Zhou, Yuwen Yong, led his army to Pingqi, and his father Shi Jing died in battle. was appointed as the son of a loyal minister, and was appointed as the three officials of Kaifu Yitong Sansi, and inherited the title of Duke of Taiping County.

In May of the second year of Daxiang in the Northern Zhou Dynasty (580), Emperor Xuan of Northern Zhou Dynasty Yuwen Zan died of illness. Emperor Jing of Zhou Yuwen Yan was young and the left prime minister Yang Jian was dictatorship. In June, the general manager of Xiangzhou (now Ye Town, southwest of Linzhang, Hebei Province) Yuchi Jiong (nephew of Emperor Wen of Northern Zhou Dynasty Yuwen Gong) was afraid that Yang Jian's dictatorship was not conducive to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, so he publicly raised an army to oppose Yang Jian. followed Liang Shiyan, the general manager of the army, to fight. The army arrived at Fengyi (now Dali County, Shaanxi Province), and a group of geese flew over. said to Liang Shiyan: "Please shoot the third person in the journey" ("Book of Sui - Biography of "). So he fired his bow and shot away.

The three armies fell down according to the strings. Seeing that 's shooting skills were so superb, they were all convinced. When the army arrived in Hebei, they met Yuchi Jiong's army. took the lead in every battle and was the bravest of the three armies. In the battle of Yecheng (now southwest of Linzhang, Hebei Province), the official army was unfavorable at the beginning and retreated slightly. The situation was very critical. shouted: "It is urgent, I should defeat it" ("Book of Sui - Biography of "). So he led the way, galloped and fought hard, and attacked dozens of people in a row. With the help of everyone, the morale of the official army was revived and quickly reversed the situation. After suppressing the rebellion, was appointed as the general for his merits.

A few years later, was implicated because of the plot to rebel by General Erzhu Ji, and was sent to Dunhuang (now west of Dunhuang, Gansu) as a garrison. The Dunhuang garrison lord was very brave and often rode alone into the Turks to plunder sheep and horses. No one in the Turks dared to take charge of them. Therefore, the garrison lord was quite conceited and often insulted . was very worried, so he said that he was also good at riding and shooting. The garrison lord ordered him to raid and shooting, and saw that he had some skills, and said with a smile: "The villain must be able to" ("Book of Sui - Biography of "). also rode alone into the Turkic territory, seizing the six animals and returning. The garrison lord changed his attitude towards , often walked with him, and went deep into the Turkic territory for hundreds of miles, named Zhenbeiyi.

At that time, Emperor Wen of Sui was fighting against the Turks in order to complete the great cause of unification. While resisting the Turkic attack, the Sui army had completed its counterattack preparations. In April of the third year of Kaihuang in the Sui Dynasty (583), the Sui army launched a full-scale counterattack. Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian ordered the chief supervisor of Qinzhou Dou Rongding to lead 9 chief supervisors, 30,000 infantry and cavalry, and attacked the Turks from Liangzhou (now Wuwei, Gansu). On May 24, he and the troops of Turkic Abo Khan were in Gaoyueyuan (now northwest of Minqin, Gansu). Gaoyue was originally located in the desert area, dry and waterless. Dou Rongding's army stabbed the horse and quenched thirst; two or three tenths of the dead. Suddenly, he encountered rain.

The morale of the Sui army was greatly boosted. Dou Rongding took advantage of the situation to force the army to attack and defeated Abo's army many times. joined the army at this time and asked for a reward and atonement. Dou Rongding heard his bravery several times, so he sent someone to propose to the Turks on the 25th: "What is the crime of the soldiers? I'll order them to be killed, but each should send a hero to decide the victory or defeat" ("Book of Sui - Biography of "). Abo Khan responded and sent a cavalry general to challenge. Dou Rongding sent Wansui to fight, and Wansui rushed to take the battle and returned. The Turks were shocked and did not dare to fight again, so they asked to negotiate peace and retreat. Therefore, they were appointed as the general of Shangyi and the general of the chariot and cavalry.

In the ninth year of Kaihuang in the Sui Dynasty (589), he was awarded the founding of the State for participating in the battle to destroy Chen in the Sui Dynasty.

Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the aristocratic families of noble families have been bullying poor families. After the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen and unified China, the southern gentry and powerful people were dissatisfied with the restrictive policies implemented by the Sui Dynasty, so they took advantage of the people's fear of the rumors about the Sui Dynasty's desire to immigrate to Guanzhong and took the opportunity to incite rebellion. In November of the tenth year of Kaihuang in the Sui Dynasty, Wang Wenjin of Wuzhou (now Jinhua, Zhejiang), Gao Zhihui of Yuezhou (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang), and Shen Xuanyi of Suzhou all raised troops to rebel against the Sui Dynasty, claiming to be the emperor, and appointing hundreds of officials, and raising troops to capture prefectures and counties. The rebellion was mostly spread throughout the original Chen territory. The large scale was tens of thousands and the small ones were thousands, echoing each other, killing officials of the Sui Dynasty. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, appointed the inner historian to lead the army to suppress the rebellion.

After Yang Su first defeated Gao Zhihui, he sent (who was the general manager of the army) to lead an army of 2,000 to attack Wuzhou. Yang Sue led his main force to pursue Gao Zhihui who escaped into the sea from the sea and headed straight to Wenzhou. led his army to advance from Dongyang (now the upper reaches of Jinhua River in central Zhejiang Province) to pacify Taoist Cai, Wang Wenjin, crossed the ridges and the sea, fought for more than a thousand miles, and after more than 700 battles, he defeated countless rebels. 's army has not been heard of for dozens of days.

, far and near thought that his troops had already had a full army. Due to the obstruction of land and land traffic and the messenger was blocked, had to put a letter in a bamboo tube, float on the water, and go down the river. After a person who fetched the water obtained the bamboo tube, he reported it to Yang Su. Yang Su was overjoyed and reported it to Emperor Wen of Sui. After receiving the report, Emperor Wen of Sui was amazed and gave 's family 100,000 yuan, and was appointed as the general of the left leader. Yang Su's army also continued to pursue the anti-Sui scattered soldiers, captured Gao Zhihui, and quelled the rebellion.

Nanning Prefecture (Zhiwei County, now west of Qujing, Yunnan), the leader of the Qiang tribe, Cuan Hui, was appointed as the governor of Kunzhou (regarded near Majie, Xijiao, Kunming City, Yunnan). Later, he rebelled against the Sui Dynasty. In February of the 17th year of Kaihuang in the Sui Dynasty (597), Emperor Wen of Sui, , became the general manager of the army to attack Cuan Hui. led his troops to pass through the Qingluo River (now Dayao, Yunnan), Landong (now north of Yao'an, Yunnan), Xiaobolan, and Dabolan (both places are both southeast of Xiaguan, Yunnan) and entered the Nanning Prefecture area. Cuan Hui was still dangerous and defended, and was defeated by . The Sui army traveled hundreds of miles and passed the Zhuge Liang memorial to the monument, and saw the inscription engraved on his back: "Long live after I will surpass me" ("Book of Sui - Biography of "). ordered the left and right to turn upside down, and continued to advance westward, crossing the Xier River (now Erhai Lake, Yunnan)

, entered the canal and Buchuan (located in the northeast of Xiaguan, Yunnan), and fought for more than a thousand miles, defeated more than 30 Qiang tribes in the southwest, and captured more than 20,000 people. The Qiangs were very scared, and Chuan Fu was forced to surrender again. He presented jewelry and jewelry, expressed his willingness to listen to the constraints, and carved stone inscriptions to praise the sacred virtues of the Sui Dynasty. sent an envoy to report to ask for Cuan Fu to enter the court. Emperor Wen of Sui approved his report. However, Chuan Fu had two ambitions and did not want to follow the army to enter the court, so he bribed with Jinbao, so returned. At that time, Shu King Yang Xiu was in Yizhou (now Chengdu, Sichuan Province). He knew that he had received bribes and sent people to ask for it. heard about this and sank all the gold treasures he obtained at the bottom of the river. Yang Xiu had nothing to gain, so he had to give up. was in pacifying the tribes in the south and entered the Shangzhu Kingdom. Because of his friendship with King Yang Guang of Jin, he also supervised the military affairs of the King of Jin.

The next year, Cuan Hui rebelled again. King Yang Xiu of Shu impeached to accept bribes and indulge the thieves, causing border troubles and no moral integrity. Emperor Wen of Sui ordered the matter to be investigated strictly and found that it was true, and his crimes should be killed. Emperor Wen of Sui asked him: "I have received the thief from Jin and released the thieves, and I have to work hard on the horses. I think the soldiers are exposed, and I am not sleeping and unwilling to eat. Is you a minister of the country?" defended him: "If I keep Cuan Hui, I am afraid that there will be changes in the state, so I will stay for custody. I will return to Lushui and the imperial edict has arrived. Therefore, I will not enter the court, so I will not accept bribes." Emperor Wen of Sui was bullied and said furiously: "I regard you as a good person, why is the official position and the salary of the country?"

He also told Yousi: "They will be killed tomorrow" ("Book of Sui - Biography of "). was afraid and accepted the crime, so he bowed his head to Emperor Wen of Sui. The left servant Gao Yang and the left guard General Yuan Min and others had confessed their guilt, so they also pleaded for him: "xiong skipped people, and every place where he used troops to use troops, he always led the troops. He was especially good at pacifying the emperor, and the generals of the emperor were dedicated to his efforts, even though the famous generals in ancient times failed to pass" ("Book of Sui - Biography of "). Emperor Wen of Sui was angry and demoted him to the people. A year later, he was restored to his official position and appointed him as the governor of Hezhou (now northeast of Linxia, ​​Gansu Province), and was also in charge of the general marching in order to prevent the Hu people from invading.

In the 19th year of Kaihuang in the Sui Dynasty (599), the Turkic Dulan Khan was killed by his subordinates, and his tribe was in chaos. In order to save the Turkic decline, Datou Khan established himself as Bujia Khan, and led troops to invade the border of Sui in April of the 20th year of Kaihuang (600). Emperor Wen of Sui ordered King Yang Guang of Jin and the Right Pushe Yang Su to leave Lingzhou (managing Huile, now southwest of Lingwu in Ningxia), and King Yang Liang of Han and went out of Shuozhou (managing Shanyang, now Shuo County in Shanxi), and jointly attacked Bujia Khan. led the country Zhang Dinghe of the country, the general Li Yaowang, and Yang Yichen went out of the frontier, and the army reached Da.

Jinshan (now Daqingshan, Inner Mongolia), encountered the Bujia Khan's army. Bujia Khan sent someone to ask, "Who is the general of the Sui Dynasty?" The scout cavalry reported, "Have you been Shi." Bujia Khan asked again, "Is it not the Dunhuang garrison soldiers?" The scout cavalry said, "Yes" ("Book of Sui-Book of Sui-Biography of "). Bujia determined that the commander of the Sui army was , who was so powerful that Dunhuang that year, and hurriedly led the army back. waved his horse and chased for more than a hundred miles, defeated the Turkic army, and killed thousands. He continued to follow and chase hundreds of miles into the desert, and returned triumphantly.

After returned to Beijing from Dajin Mountain, Yang Su was jealous of his achievements and slandered in front of Emperor Wen of Sui, saying, "The Turks had surrendered, but they were not a bandit at first, so they came to the frontier to livestock and livestock" ("Book of Sui - Biography of "). So he buried his achievements and did not praise him. stated several times, but Emperor Wen of Sui still had not awakened. At this time, Emperor Wen of Sui first returned to the capital from Renshou Palace and had just abolished the crown prince Yang Yong, so he strictly prevented the Eastern Palace from forming cliques and planning changes. Emperor Wen of Sui asked where he was now. At that time, was in the court, but Yang Su saw that Emperor Wen of Sui was angry, he deliberately said: "Longsui visits the Eastern Palace."
