In August of the ninth year of Daye, Li Po, on behalf of the Heng'an town army, warmly received the visitors from the north. He had a good chat with the guests, gave each other gifts, and almost kowtowed.l
The visitors thought they had received a promise from Heng'an Town, so they did not plan to stay in Yunnei City any longer. They wanted to walk a little further before the heavy snow came in winter and return to their master.
Of course, he didn't forget to ask how the guys stationed in Yunnei City were doing. He wanted to ask his family to go back, but Li Po told him that he had sent all the people he captured to Jinyang.
There is no other way. If you don't come two days earlier, according to the rules, all Turkic people will be sent to Jinyang.
The Turks were very talkative and expressed their understanding. Li Po felt that this guy seemed to be wishing that his family could not go back. The Turks' internal fighting seemed to be no worse than that of the Sui people.
After sending the Turks away, Li Po thought about it after he came back and felt something was wrong.
Afterwards I figured it out, and I led others to do a lot of hard work. It seems that when it comes to dealing with the Turks, what I am doing now is no different from what people did before.
This is just so frustrating.
But this man, it’s not easy to find excuses for yourself. Li Po soon recovered from his inexplicable emotions. This is called hypocrisy. How can we be the same as those damn people?
Those guys are colluding with the enemy's country and betraying the country for glory.
However, soon he won't have to worry about it anymore.
The war situation in Henan took a turn for the worse, and the Northern Expedition army returned. Yu Wenshu, Lai Hu'er, and the defenders of Luoyang, together with Wei Wensheng's troops and Qu Tutong's troops, finally surrounded the exhausted Yang Xuangan rebels on the ground east of Tongguan and west of Luoyang.
superior.
Yang Xuangan was defeated and died. Sui Emperor Yang Guang was in Luoyang City. Breathing heavily and staring with red eyes, he began to purge the rebels.
In the winter of the ninth year of Daye, Yang Guang did almost nothing else but compete with Yang Xuangan's remaining members.
From Chang'an, to Luoyang, and then to Lianghuai, heads rolled down, killing people in a frightening manner. Countless people were implicated in crimes. Even the common people who got food because Yang Xuangan opened a warehouse to release food did not escape. They were all executed.
Trap and kill in the south of Dongdu City.
After this war, Henan became almost the same as Shandong. The population dropped sharply, the people were displaced, and the grain-producing land in Henan gradually became desolate.
But this was just the beginning. In the following years, the people of Henan suffered even worse than the people of Shandong.
The killings continued, and then Tu Wanxu surrounded Liu Yuanjin's rebels in Huangshan and defeated them. He beheaded Guan Chong and killed countless prisoners.
However, the rebels rose up in large numbers, were defeated and reunited to fight in the Huaihe River.
Wang Shichong, the Prime Minister of Jiangdu County, led two Huai soldiers to defeat Liu Yuanjin again in Wu. Liu Yuanjin and others were defeated and died.
Wang Shichong appeared bathed in blood and stepped on countless corpses.
After he defeated Liu Yuanjin's rebel army, he saw that the rebels were scattered and could not continue to suppress them. At this time, he did a very wise thing, that is, he burned incense and swore that as long as the rebels were scattered, they would surrender to him.
As a result, the Lianghuai rebels joined one after another.
Wang Shichong was wise. But Emperor Yang Guang was almost crazy. He cut Yang Xuangan's body into pieces in Luoyang and then burned it. If he had the ability of the Lord of Hell, he would definitely send Yang Xuangan to the eighteenth level of hell and return him to the furnace.
After that, they used torture to kill Yang Xuangan's still alive brothers one after another. If Wei Wensheng hadn't sent troops to rescue Luoyang, he had dug up Yang Su's grave and dug out Yang Su's body in order to strengthen the morale of the army.
If he was beaten to death, Yang Guang would probably have done a more perfect job.
At this time, it can actually be seen that this man is not very clear-headed anymore, and has become crazy to the point of violence, as if the blood of the ancestors of the Yang family has suddenly revived in him.
When Wang Shichong surrendered the Lianghuai rebels, Yang Guang's edict also came to him, ordering him to annihilate the rebels and leave no one behind.
Wang Shichong immediately sat down on the wax, and before the oath had finished, Wang Shichong turned his face.
He trapped and killed tens of thousands of rebels who surrendered in Huangtingjian, and by the way, he also took the blame for Yang Guang. However, this man was very capable of turning his back and being ruthless. Even if he takes the blame, he will not be freed.
However, the consequences of this move were very serious.
Lianghuai, which had been gradually calming down, once again set off an anti-Sui war. This time, no one could extinguish it, because the last bit of credibility of the government and army was destroyed in the roar of tens of thousands of innocent souls.
At this time, the soldiers who had conquered the Liao Dynasty returned to their homeland one after another, and then countless people joined the rebel army. When the rebels from various places faced off against the officers and soldiers, they no longer had no ability to resist.
This was particularly evident in the wars that followed in the following years.
What is absolutely unexpected is that Sui Emperor Yang Guang immediately recruited troops to conquer Goguryeo again on the grounds that Hu Sizheng, the Minister of War, had defected to Goguryeo.
We have to appreciate the emperor's persistence and bravery. At this time, in fact, as long as you are a normal person, you will not be able to understand what the so-called emperor's heart is.
In winter in the Northland, there is heavy snow and the roads are blocked.
The murderous spirit in the south was blocked by a Yellow River, and the emperor's anger was blown by the cold wind and could not burn Mayi.
Generally speaking, in the ninth year of the Great Cause, although the chaos there has become a hornet's nest, the people in Jin can still survive as long as they don't commit suicide.
But Li Jing, the magistrate of Mayi County, was filled with gloom. Yang Xuangan died in defeat and did not deserve sympathy.
It can only be said that Yang Su was a hero, but he gave birth to a prodigal son, who lost all his family fortune and the bloodline of the powerful Yang family.
Such a man who was ambitious but had no talent, who had a plan but was partial to deceitful ways, who had a family background but didn't cherish it, died, but he shouldn't have, and he had to bring trouble to his uncle's family.
His uncle, Han Qinhu Hero I, also gave birth to a prodigal son.
After Yang Xuangan's death, the rest of the people were subjected to harsh punishments, and many of the Han family were left without mercy.
Because the Han family has lived in Luoyang for a long time, where the emperor is sitting, there is no way for the Han family to survive.
His uncle treated him very kindly. At this moment, Li Jing really didn't think about himself. He was thinking about the safety of his uncle's family. Unfortunately, he lived in Mayi and was out of reach, so he could only worry about it and couldn't help anyone.
busy.
Facts have proved that his worries are justified. The Han family has indeed been affected, and many of the Han family's children have been killed, but he is also worried too much.
The foundation of the Han family is still there, because there are too many rebels and they cannot be killed. Some of the Kansai children are from prominent families. Even if you go crazy, don't even think about using the knife on these families.
Therefore, the Han family managed to escape this disaster on the premise that the law would not punish anyone, but the loss of their family reputation was inevitable.
Li Jing then thought of the newly admitted student. They had exchanged letters some time ago and they were quite insightful. He felt a little comfort in his heart. It seemed that his daughter had chosen a pretty good son-in-law for him.
At this time, Li Jing actually wanted to talk to someone and wanted to call Li Po back from the north to teach him.
Later, he thought about it and let it go. Years of loneliness had made him accustomed to this feeling. What would happen even if someone was around.
How could he tell a young man the words he had hidden in his heart for many years?
As for the student he was thinking about, he stayed quite honestly this winter and didn't go anywhere. He went back to Maodong, Heng'an Town.
Originally, he wanted to stay in Yunnei City, but Li Bi was afraid that this boy would be a bad learner and hang out in brothels and other places, so he sent a military order to let him return to Heng'an Town to lead the army.
Therefore, Li Po could only run back to Heng'an Town.
In the middle of winter, there isn't much to do. At most, we can check the men and horses occasionally, and then practice again. When the weather gets colder, these are all saved.
The idea of practicing three days in the winter and three days in the summer simply doesn’t work.
Therefore, Li Po lived very comfortably this winter.
Recall that in the winter of the sixth year of Daye, I was half frozen to death. The winter of the seventh year of Daye was spent in Zhuojun. Following such an unlucky emperor, I was really worried to death.
Not to mention the winter of the eighth year of Daye. I went directly to Liaodong to climb the ice and sleep in the snow. The three souls and seven souls were almost frozen into ice cubes.
Therefore, the winter of Daye 9 was the most comfortable.
If you want to eat something, let the cook do it. If you are really hungry, you can also do it yourself.
What did I want to drink? Well, there was nothing good to drink. I tried some frozen wine and made me vomit. It tasted really bad.
Fortunately, there is also Li Bi, and Li Chun is with him, bickering with Li Bi from time to time, and teaching Li Chun a lesson, so he is not so lonely. Otherwise, he would have the heart to find a craftsman and carve out a pair of mahjong tiles for entertainment.
Entertainment.
Of course, there are still military affairs, inspecting the barracks, looking at Wang Qingnong's accounts, and going to the warehouse from time to time, and then caring about the food and clothing of the soldiers, and the day passes.
And the camp of 6,000 people is actually not very quiet. People who are brave and fierce gather together. Today you beat me up and understand that I will take revenge. It is very lively. There are actually people in the brothel in Heng'an Town.
There was a big fight and the building was almost demolished.
More than twenty fierce men were all whipped.
Li Po took a look and said, "Don't be idle anymore. The anger is still so strong in the winter, so let me help you relieve the anger."
So, in October, the six thousand troops in Heng'an Town were divided into six armies, and the arena was set up in full swing.
At this moment, the whole Heng'an Town was boiling.
It also made Li Bi feel again that this guy is really capable of tossing people.
In a great military competition, the stronger one wins.
As long as you think you are not ambiguous, you can participate. You can beat people when you go up. Of course, you must be prepared to be beaten.
Li Po spent a lot of time and thought before formulating a series of rules to prevent these rough guys from breaking their legs and arms, which would be difficult to deal with.
The commotion lasted for almost a month before it subsided. As a prize, the corps commander who had truly won the first place among the three armies was directly promoted to brigade commander, and he also took the other five people who won the first place in the sixth army with him.
Chuguan, the best brothel in Yunnei City, entertained me for a meal.
Therefore, the morale of the Heng'an Army in winter was as high as if it could poke a hole in the sky.
It goes without saying that Li Canjun's prestige in Heng'an Town is high, but Li Po and Li Canjun, who managed a successful martial arts tournament, are full of bitterness.
He came back with a lot of trouble for himself. To be continued.
