Chapter three hundred and sixty seventh smoke and dust in troubled times
Evil King Wu Xin, five days after leaving Dongdu...≦.…≦
Li Tang took control of the army of Dongdu and completely controlled Dongdu. He officially announced to the world, raised the flag and raised troops, and established Yang Tong, the king of Yue, as emperor. Li Yuan proclaimed himself the king of Tang, and changed the name to Huangtai of Yuan Dynasty. Yang Tong was called the master of emperor Tai, also known as emperor.
Tai Di.
The next day, with the slogan "Fight the unjust, punish the tyrants, and purge the treacherous ministers", the troops marched out of the Eastern Capital.
As soon as this incident came out, the whole world was in an uproar.
Immediately after the Duke of Chu, Yang Xuangan, raised an army to rebel, another important official of the Sui Dynasty raised an army, and he was also the Duke of Tang, a relative of the Sui Emperor.
You must know that when the important ministers of the country raise an army to rebel, the impact will be much greater than that of ordinary rebels. This is one of the main reasons why Yang Xuangan raised an army, which immediately aroused the fury of the Sui Empire and besieged Sui armies from all directions.
This time, the Duke of Tang Dynasty was more powerful. Not only did he steal the eastern capital, but he also made Yang Tong the emperor and changed the reign name. Is Yang Guang, the civil and military emperor, dead?
The even worse impact was that in just a few days, many famous figures soon followed and raised troops and raised flags, giving the illusion that the race had made an appointment.
Tang Bi, Zhang Dabiao, Zong Shimo, Liu Jialun, Zheng Wenya, Lin Baohu, Sima Changan, King Liu Miao, etc., there are more than twenty places, they are either local wealthy families, celebrities, or guards or generals.
Or a first-class force.
Just looking at the identity of the people who raised the army this time, their level is much higher than before, so the meaning is naturally different.
This time, the foundation of the Sui Empire was indeed shaken. Even the Bupo Tiandu, known as the Optimizing Pillar, directly lost one. This was the most deadly and had the greatest impact.
No matter how many troops there were in the Sui Empire, they could not take care of such a large-scale rebellion.
At the court meeting, Yang Guang was furious, and the court issued several imperial edicts.
Yu Juluo, "the most powerful general of the Sui Dynasty and the imperial king of the Nine Heavenly Kings of the Sui Dynasty" who was originally responsible for pacifying the south, was temporarily transferred to Henan County, trying to suppress Tang Guogong as quickly as possible, take back the eastern capital, and reverse the bad influence.
In addition, there were three famous generals, Zuotunwei General Tu Wanxu, Hu Yalang General Gongsun Shangzhe, and Wu Benlang General Chen Leng, who assisted the Yutian King Yu Juluo in besieging Henan County and directed his troops to the eastern capital.
There were so many other newly rebellious forces that the imperial court could not distinguish the strength of the generals, so it could only ignore them for the time being and let the Sui armies from various places closely monitor and resist them.
As a result, the prestige of the imperial court was greatly reduced. More and more forces started to rebel, gradually forming a vicious cycle and setting off a frenzy of chaos.
…
Seven days after Wu Xin left Dongdu.
Liangjun, the Tongji Canal section of the Grand Canal.
After leaving Dongdu, Wu Xinfang traveled day and night, taking turns driving the boat, but still only reached Liangjun, and did not even cover half of the distance from Dongdu to Jiangdu.
Wu Xin seemed to be concentrating on his way. He didn't hear about foreign affairs, but the Phantom Tower kept collecting information from the world and passed it on to Wu Xin, so that Wu Xin knew everything about the world, including which force had rebelled, how big it was, where it was, etc.
We traveled day and night for seven consecutive days and nights, without docking for rest or replenishment.
Most of the people in Wu Xinfang looked tired, but no one complained that they were tired. They shouted that they wanted to go to the shore to rest.
Looking at the vast river from a distance, Changsun Wuji sighed inexplicably: "At the current speed, it will take half a month at the fastest to reach Jiangdu! It will still be a smooth journey. If there is something unexpected, it will take even longer!"
Everyone was silent, looking at Changsun Wuji in surprise and confusion.
Since the last time he went straight to the meeting hall, Changsun Wuji has become much calmer, his rejection has been greatly reduced, and he has begun to do things within the scope of his responsibilities seriously.
Ever since he learned that Li Tang had officially launched a rebellion, Changsun Wuji felt like he was reborn, his rejection was completely gone, and he began to participate in making plans, clearly siding with Wu Xin.
As Changsun Wuji, he actually had no choice. Even if he left Wu Xin, Li Tang might not dare to take him in, and it would be even harder to reuse him.
Of course, the main reason for Changsun Wuji's change was that Wu Xin had guessed the matter. Facts have proved that Changsun Wuji was wrong, but no one mentioned it, but Changsun Wuji reflected on it himself!
"What are you thinking about?" Gao Shilian scolded, his face darkening.
Changsun Wuji pretended to be innocent and responded naturally: "Nowadays, with wars and smoke everywhere, it is natural to return to your own territory as soon as possible. In addition, the south is the place with the most turmoil. If you don't go back as soon as possible, who knows what will happen then.
What's up?"
Gao Shilian glared at Changsun Wuji, hesitated, looked at Wu Xin and asked:
"My lord! If the court asks my lord to return and attack Li Tang, will my lord return?"
Perhaps everyone in Wu Xin's party did not quite understand Wu Xin's thoughts. Many people even thought that Wu Xin was a loyal minister of the Sui Dynasty, especially Gao Shilian.
After learning that Li Tang had rebelled and stolen the Eastern Capital, Wu Xin did not attack, but borrowed a road and hurried on, and everyone became more alert.
With the wisdom of Gao Shilian and Changsun Wuji, it was naturally clear that Wu Xin also wanted to stand on his own feet, at least to have a foothold and a basis for self-preservation.
To say that Wu Xin wanted to rebel, borrowing a road was far from enough. After all, even if Wu Xin led an army to attack, he would not be able to get back the Eastern Capital and would only die in vain!
"Will the imperial court allow me to return?" Wu Xin asked with a smile.
According to the intelligence from Phantom Tower, the imperial court is now shaken, and many generals have been sent out to suppress the unrest from all sides, but the backer king Yang Lin has not moved.
Based on this inference, the Yangzhou King Conferment Conference should be held as scheduled, otherwise the patron king Yang Lin is definitely the best candidate to suppress the rebellion. Today's Western Capital does not need a patron king to be in charge!
"this……"
Gao Shilian opened his mouth and couldn't respond. He looked at the sky with a complicated expression and sighed:
"In this troubled world, who is in charge of the ups and downs? The people who suffer the most are the people!"
High in the sky, there are all kinds of strange clouds, which add a mysterious color under the light. They are unpredictable and indistinguishable.
"Doing your job well and healing a pure land is the best protection for the people!" Wu Xin reminded.
While he was talking, three figures appeared in the sky, rushing towards them very quickly, obviously aiming at Wu Xin and others.
"The oracle has arrived..."
There was a high-pitched and feminine cry, and the three lotus shadow guards descended.
After the ceremony, instead of declaring an edict, they brought a handwritten edict from Yang Guang. The general meaning was that Wu Xin was appointed as the general of Zhennan, replacing Yu Juluo, the king of heaven, responsible for suppressing the unrest in the south, and fully assisting the patron king Yang Lin.
, hold the king-conferring meeting well.
However, the imperial court did not allocate troops to Wu Xin. Wu Xin needed to recruit troops and suppress the bandits on his own.
"I would like to ask my father-in-law to reply to His Majesty. I will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations, suppress the unrest in the south at all costs, and hold a king-conferring conference to welcome the patron king!"
After reading the letter, he saw his father-in-law looking at him eagerly. Wu Xin knew that he was waiting for his reply, so he solemnly responded.
"Your Majesty takes action, and the thieves should be their leaders. However, Your Majesty moves very quickly. It only took a few days to reach this point!"
The imperial father-in-law kept flattering and praising me.
Wu Xin responded seriously as a matter of course: "There is no way! With the Holy Family on my side, I have a heavy responsibility. I have to rush back at full speed, lest I miss the important event of the Holy One."
"Fortunately, the prince walked quickly, otherwise, it would be difficult to pass through Dongdu now!"
The imperial father-in-law said with a fluke on his face, paused for a moment, and then continued with admiration on his face: "However, this also shows the power of the prince. Even Li Yuan's rebels did not dare to stop the prince!" (To be continued.)
