The territory of the Sui Dynasty was wider than that of the previous dynasties.
But the Great Sui Dynasty was not just the world of the Yang family. Many people knew it and understood in their hearts that the Central Plains was actually the world of the Guanlong family.
Five surnames and seven hopes, these aristocratic families control almost nine out of ten of the world's military forces, and even have inextricable connections with the great masters.
Before, Yang Guang didn't care at all about rebellions in various places, or even ignored them. Was it because those poor people had nothing to do with them?
Except for their bodies, which are riddled with holes due to hard work day and night, they have nothing but armor, weapons, horses, and martial arts skills. What can they use to rebel?
Even their rebellion is just a joke in the eyes of some people.
Of course, in the eyes of real generals, those rebels are also credited for their movement. A team of cavalry can even defeat ten thousand with one charge.
But when he received the report of Yang Xuangan's rebellion, Yang Guang, who had always been in a calm mood, suddenly started to panic.
Yang Xuangan would rebel. Does this mean that the Guanlong family abandoned him and the Sui Dynasty?
Without interrogating the King of Korea, Yang Guang directly ordered Li Shimin to behead Gao Yuan, who was kneeling to beg for mercy, and then quickly retreated.
They even sent Yu Wenhua and others to lead the vanguard team, traveling with light vehicles and horses, and went back to quell the rebellion first.
This time, he was really scared.
Because they were rushing too hastily, many soldiers and generals who were seriously injured and who were running slowly were abandoned. Along the road, there were countless ordnance, baggage, food and grass.
One day, Pei Ju stood on the side of the road, shook his head, sighed, and left midway.
This great Sui Dynasty is about to end.
…
When he went to Chunmen, Yang Xuangan raised his arms and shouted, "Hey, the villagers in Luo competed to send cattle and wine to express their condolences to Yang Xuangan. Other people watching the excitement immediately gathered and presented eggs, vegetables, grains, etc.
After delivering the cattle and wine, some poor people returned to Yang Mansion to change their clothes, drink wine and eat meat.
Routines have been popular since ancient times.
Yang Xuangan stood on the high platform, feeling very excited.
"I am alone in the Shangzhu Kingdom. My family has a huge amount of gold. I am so rich and noble that I have nothing to ask for.
Now, I don’t care about destroying my family and annihilating my clan, just to relieve the world’s urgent needs and save the lives of the people.”
Immediately, all the people cheered and followed like a crowd. Soon, the Yang family's rebel army numbered hundreds of thousands.
However, since the period of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty has had a strict weapons management system, so these armies are just superficial. Many people may have only two kinds of sharp weapons in their hands: big wooden sticks and small wooden sticks.
It's miserable.
However, when times come, heaven and earth all work together.
Soon, Sui general Da Xiyi led five thousand elite troops to suppress the rebellion and intercept the Yang family rebels.
A few days later, facing tens of thousands of unarmed civilians who could not even run, the five thousand elite soldiers collapsed without a fight, leaving behind countless weapons, armor, and horses.
Li Mi and the generals looked a little dumbfounded.
Then Pei Hongce of Henan Zanzhi led his army to fight against Yang Xuangan. He didn't even fight, but he threw away his armor and weapons and fled madly.
Li Mi suddenly felt his heart surge.
Originally, he thought that his lord's choice to fight Luoyang was a bad idea. But if subsequent battles were to be fought like this, it would really be a better idea.
From the power of the dragon!
A few days later, when I arrived in Luoyang, Yang Xuangan was very brave and powerful. Every time he fought with the troops coming to suppress the rebellion, he personally waved his spear, took the lead, and shouted "Zha Zha", which shocked the enemies.
The world compares him to Xiang Yu. He is good at comforting and leading troops, and his soldiers are willing to fight to the death for him, making him invincible.
Yang Guang was even more anxious when he received the news. He sent out imperial edicts to suppress the rebellion one after another. Soldiers and horses from all over the Sui Dynasty were rushing to Luoyang.
Although the merit of following the dragon is a great achievement, some generals and other governors have almost reached the end of their lives. If they join the rebellion again and they are still the same officials, then why do they still rebel?
Catch the thief!
Among them, Wei Xuan, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, led tens of thousands of people to rescue Luoyang from Guanzhong. He led his troops almost non-stop.
run.
When passing by Huayin, Wei Xuan, as a relative of Yang Xuangan, had a deep brotherhood, and suddenly remembered that the tomb of Yang Xuangan's father, Yang Su, was nearby.
As a relative, he naturally came to pay homage and knew the location.
Anyway, rebellion is a serious crime of treason. It is better to gain advantage than to gain advantage from outsiders. So Wei Xuan dug up Yang Su's grave, dug out the bones, crushed them and spread the ashes.
After doing this, Wei Xuan was satisfied and wrote a memorial to Yang Guang to thank him, and then rushed to Luoyang without stopping.
In less than half a month, Wei Xuan sent 20,000 infantry and cavalry across the Jian River to challenge the rebels. Yang Xuangan pretended to fail and Wei Xuan pursued him. As soon as the ambush came out, all the front troops were wiped out.
A few days later, Wei Xuan fought with Yang Xuangan again. As soon as the two armies fought, Yang Xuangan's people shouted: "The army has captured Yang Xuangan!"
Wei Xuan's army was a little confused. Why did they win before they started fighting? They immediately relaxed. Then Yang Xuangan and several thousand cavalry took the opportunity to attack, and Wei Xuan was defeated and fled.
With the continuous defeat of the government troops everywhere, Yang Xuangan's momentum became more and more powerful, and even the rebels from all over the world respectfully called Yang Xuangan the king, the living overlord, the King of Chu Yang Xuangan.
With the support of unknown wealth from various places, the number of people coming to Yang's army to join the army every day reached more than 7,000.
The world seems to be at your fingertips.
…
Chu Palace.
Li Mi hurried to the study room.
According to his plan, soldiers were valuable and quick. Even if it was a bad move, Yang Xuangan should quickly occupy Luoyang and defend the city to have a chance of survival.
But now Luoyang cannot be captured for a long time. Wu Benlang's general Chen Leng attacked Yuan Wuben in Liyang, Wuwei general Qu Tutong stationed in Heyang, left Yiwei general Yuwenshu sent troops to continue the advance, and right Xiaowei general came to protect his son and then came again.
reinforce.
The war situation was tense. This was what the Sui Emperor most wanted to see, but it was what the rebels were most afraid of encountering.
The Sui Dynasty was supported by grain, grass and military equipment from four places, but they were like water without roots. How could they compete with others?
In front of the door.
Li Mi raised his hand and was about to knock on the door when he heard someone talking inside. It was the original Sui general Li Zixiong.
When you succeed, the world will be full of goodwill towards you. As their momentum grew, Li Zixiong also led his troops from thousands of miles away to defect to them.
Soon the general became a popular figure in front of the King of Chu because of his sincere words, correct attitude and outstanding abilities.
"King Chu, our army is now invincible in battles, but our reputation is not justified. Why not choose a day to ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor?"
【In view of the general environment,
When the time comes, with your divine power that equals that of Xiang Yu, with a raised arms, the world will surely return to its heart. Wouldn’t it be wonderful for our army to sweep across the north and south and establish unparalleled achievements like the Chu army back then?"
…
After a while, Li Mi entered the study.
"Meet General Yang."
Yang Xuangan was very happy to see Li Mi. After all, he was the first person to follow him to help the country. His loyalty and ability were outstanding, and he was a true loyal minister.
"What's going on with Li Qing's family?"
Li Mi said respectfully: "General Yang, it is recorded in history books that Zhang Er persuaded Chen Sheng not to proclaim himself king, but Chen Sheng drove Zhang Er away.
.”
Yang Xuangan laughed loudly, stepped forward and patted Li Mi affectionately on the shoulder.
"You and I have an irreconcilable relationship. You don't have to worry about the distinction between superior and inferior. You can speak freely. No matter what you say, I won't blame you."
Li Mi was relieved and nodded: "The subordinate then said something more, King Chu, if you become emperor at this time, you will definitely die.
Now that Luoyang cannot be conquered for a long time, reinforcements from all over the country are coming quickly. If we still want to survive, we will go straight to Guanzhong and take advantage of the danger to defend it.
If the king tries to dominate the world, everything will eventually come to nothing!"
Yang Xuangan nodded and raised his hand: "Get out!"
Li Mi:???
Not long after, Qu Tutong crossed the Yellow River and garrisoned at "Poling". Yang
Xuangan was divided into two groups, resisting Wei Xuan in the west and Qu Tutong in the east. Fan Zigai sent out troops again, and a great battle ensued, and the rebels were frequently defeated.
At this time, Yang Xuangan finally remembered the middle strategy proposed by Li Mi when he raised his army, and regretted it so much that he issued an edict announcing that he had captured Luoyang and that his strategy was now transferred to Guanzhong.
At this time Li Mi was preparing to escape.
When they arrived at Hongnong Palace, some fellow villagers stopped Yang Xuangan and said, "Hongnong Palace is empty of troops and has a lot of food, so it is easy to capture it. In this way, if you advance, you can cut off the enemy's food supply, and if you retreat, you can occupy Yiyang's territory."
Yang Xuangan agreed and stayed to attack Hongnong Palace. He fought for three days but could not defeat it. The pursuers even reached Shenhou. Only then did he realize that he seemed to have been deceived again, so he ran away again.
If you retreat and fight at the same time, you will lose several times in one day.
By this time Li Mi had been captured.
In the end, only a dozen of the rebels arrived at Jialu Shu. Yang Xuangan screamed to scare off the pursuers, and he walked alone with his younger brother "Yang Jishan".
Standing by the river, King Chu looked far into the distance.
As the sun sets in the west, the sunset lights up the entire sky, and everything is covered with a thin layer of red gauze. In the distance, the smoke of birds slowly emerges from the chimneys of every house, floating leisurely into the sky.
"Infinite souls cannot be summoned. The sun sets in the west and the water flows in the east." Yang Xuangan sighed quietly and handed the long knife in his hand to his younger brother.
"Everyone in the world says that I am the living Xiang Yu. I was defeated by the river today, but I am not living up to the name of Xiang Yu, hahaha.
If you chop off my head, then Yang Guang may spare your life because of my Yang family’s military exploits!”
"Wars are rising all over the world, and the emperor is innocent. I, Yang Xuangan, am the number one rebel in the Sui Dynasty. I will definitely leave my name in history. Even if I die, I will be honored! Hahahaha~"
Yang Jishan burst into tears, cut off his eldest brother's head, and then committed suicide.
It is better to die happily if you live a life of pampering and begging for mercy after losing and being insulted by the enemy.
At this time, Li Mi was rescued by martyrs while being escorted, and finally escaped and ascended to heaven.
Opportunity awaits those who are prepared.
…
Pegasus Ranch.
The climate here is mild, the soil is fertile, and the products are abundant.
Among them, the wilderness where Pegasus Ranch is located has particularly rich pastures. It is surrounded by mountains and encompasses more than ten square miles of fertile fields. There are only two east and west gorges for entry and exit, and there are city walls and fortresses, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
"Uu~"
Song Shidao took his sister and the cat with him, galloped on his horse, and finally arrived at the Pegasus Ranch, which he had cooperated with the Song family for a long time.
After Yang Xuangan was suppressed, Yang Guang learned the hard way and felt that it was because he was too kind to those people that he allowed them to rebel one by one.
So they directly made a rule: Yang Xuangan would kill everyone involved, whether they were relatives of the emperor or noble families, and then he would kill as many as 30,000 people at once.
Later, gatherings of many people were prohibited. All families who had been involved with the gangsters would be convicted.
How can we judge that this is related to gangsters? It's just a matter of a few words from a low-level official. How fat is this?
Therefore, under Yang Guang's series of measures that he believed to be extremely clever and resourceful, more and more people in the world rebelled.
You can't survive here. If you rebel, you can still have a full meal. Of course you rebel. And others have rebelled, so why don't you rebel?
The ministers were very anxious, how could the good Sui Dynasty be like this? Fortunately, the sergeants were still there and the granaries were still full, so it seemed that they could still be saved.
So several important ministers quickly warned Yang Guang that at this time, he should adopt benevolent policies, issue edicts to comfort him, and open the granaries.
Governing a big country is like cooking a small dish. You must not rush it.
Yang Guang was immediately furious. I, the Sui Dynasty, He Qing Haiyan, the world is peaceful and prosperous forever, how can anyone rebel?
Impossible! This minister must be lying to him!
So Yang Guang wanted to behead those ministers. The ministers were speechless and began to sing praises one by one.
Yang Guang was then satisfied that the weather was hot, so he led his ministers, troops, and concubines to Jiangdu to escape the summer heat.
During the journey, a thousand beauties were selected on the dragon boat, and they were asked to put on white clothes and stretch themselves in front of the boat. While Yang Guang was watching on the boat, he fell in love with Wu Jiangxian, the "legendary girl", and immediately took her as his concubine.
"The ancients said that beauty can be eaten, like a fairy, it can really cure hunger!" Yang Guang laughed heartily and said to the ministers waiting nearby.
The ministers felt uncomfortable and miserable. While they watched the once prosperous Sui Dynasty turmoil, they had to drink and have fun with Yang Guang, and sometimes even enjoy the concubines.
Every time they got up, some of them even felt that they were too sinful, but they started to look forward to the next banquet again.
I have to admit, if it's just about having fun, it's really comfortable.
But the rebels in the world, after they had eaten and drank enough, were still frightened at first. If the imperial army arrived, they would never be able to defeat them.
But after a while, I found that no one came to fight them. This was not bad, so they started recruiting troops one by one.
The prices of food, ordnance, and horses in various places began to soar. The Song family, in particular, made a lot of money.
Song Zhi was so busy that in the end he had to take medicine and run back and forth just to cope.
But every time I go to the boat and see my niece eating, drinking and having fun with Mr. Le, she won't stand up if she can lie down, and I immediately feel unhappy.
Whose family does this belong to? Who spends the money he earns?
It’s an eyesore, it’s an eyesore!
Then, Song Yuzhi was kicked out and went to Pegasus Ranch with Song Shidao to reserve war horses for the next three years.
The little yellow cat was not kicked out, but Song Yu was tempted to come over because she had a beautiful sister at Pegasus Ranch.
"Second brother, have you arrived at Pegasus Ranch? I want to sleep and eat delicious food, but I'm tired!" Song Yuzhi lay lazily on the horse, showing no grace at all.
The little yellow cat sat on the little shovel's face: "Meow?"
【Where's my sister? Where's my pretty sister?】
Song Shidao:......
He really couldn't understand why the great grand master was like this.
Is it so interesting to eat, drink and have fun every day?
