Chapter 507: When the country is in chaos, there will be evil spirits

The Great Sui Dynasty is over!

This was the first thing Song Que said when he appeared in front of Lei Hu again.

Lei Hu nodded silently. Anyone who saw an empire that was originally extremely powerful, went from prosperity to decline, and then from decline to destruction in just ten years, could not help but sigh.

Especially the people and forces involved will have a deeper and clearer understanding of the changing situation.

The interesting thing is that through such opportunities, Lei Hu can often enter a mysterious state of enlightenment. Through the changes in the fortune of the dynasty, he realizes the truth of heaven and earth, and his soul power is significantly improved.

Every time he entered such a mysterious state, he seemed to feel more in tune with this world. It was so wonderful that he couldn't extricate himself.

At the same time, the opportunity to peek into the core secrets of a world also made him addicted and unwilling to wake up.

It's a pity that he has a lot of things going on at hand, and when the situation is about to collapse, there is no chance for him to relax.

"The Li Clan can't wait to take the lead. I wonder what the Dugu Clan and Yuwen Clan are thinking?"

Putting away the trace of dissatisfaction in his heart, Lei Hu said leisurely with an expression of watching a good show: "I'm afraid those two families will be so angry that they vomit blood!"

It's not that he's so angry that he vomits blood, but it's certain that he's extremely angry.

Li Clan made such a move, and it was obvious that he had gained enough benefits. At the same time, it also made people see Li Clan's strong strength and heritage.

You must know that Yang Guang suddenly went north to leave the pass, but the Turks seemed to have known about it for a long time. Hundreds of thousands of cavalry directly trapped Yang Guang in Yanmen Pass.

There are so many doorways here, it makes people shudder just thinking about them.

You must know that the Turks are nomadic people. They are people in peacetime and soldiers in war. If they want to recruit hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, for the Turks, it is almost an overwhelming force. On the grassland that stretches thousands of miles, they have to arrive one or two months in advance.

Mobilization cannot begin.

If Yang Guang had not known the information when he left the customs and was prepared, how could he have surrounded Yang Guang at Yanmen Pass so easily?

It's easy to imagine how broad Li Clan's connections are and how deep his hidden strength is.

Based on the situation during the Sui Dynasty, spying on the emperor's traces was not a big deal. It was possible to detect Yang Guang's intentions months in advance. This ability was not something ordinary people could do.

As mentioned before, Yang Guang couldn't sit still after becoming emperor. He ran around like a chief of a nomadic tribe alliance. It can be said that the Hu Feng habits in him were quite strong.

There is a local expressway connecting Guanzhong to Yanmen County. Even if the speed is slower, it will only take a month. It can be seen that before Yang Guang set off, Li Clan had already received the news and made arrangements.

Hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops suddenly attacked Yang Guang's imperial patrol in the north and broke through the thirty-nine cities of Yanmen Pass. The offensive was in full swing and looked like it was going to kill Yang Guang.

If there is nothing fishy in it, even a fool would not believe it!

The fighting power of the Great Sui frontier army is quite strong, and it also has city defense. Although the Turkic army of hundreds of thousands has a large number of people, it cannot defeat dozens of cities in a short period of time, unless the Martial Lord Bi Xuan and the Demon Commander Zhao Deyan and others

This is only possible if a top expert takes action himself.

But Bi Xuan and Zhao Deyan were very arrogant, and I had never heard of them taking such measures recently.

This makes people suspicious.

Yang Guang's expedition to Goguryeo has long ended, and the dispatched border troops have also been stationed in their respective places. They are not the cowards at the end of the centuries-old dynasty. Looking at the entire East, they are also an armed force with quite strong combat effectiveness.

Then, a scene that left people speechless happened.

The Sui army on the side had no time to rescue them, or they were blocked by some forces, but it turned out that a small white man, Li Shimin, led some generals, and the Sui army of the Yun Dingxing tribe who had been recruited midway came to the rescue.

It is recorded in the history books: In September of the eleventh year of Daye, on the long white official road leading to Yanbei, General Yun Dingxingqin, the garrison guard general, came to the rescue. At this moment, Li Shimin broke into the military camp and shouted: "General Yun,

I, Li Shimin, have a clever plan to report."

Yun Dingxing had no doubt that he had it, and he also knew that Li Shimin was the son of Tang Guogong Li Yuan. He hurriedly asked people to let him come over and asked: "My nephew, if you have any clever ideas, please tell me!"

Li Shimin was confident and confident and said: "If you dare to raise troops to surround the emperor at the beginning, it will be said that I am in a hurry and cannot go to help. It is better to have banners for dozens of miles during the day, and at night to echo the gongs and drums. The captives will be told that reinforcements are coming, and look out for the wind."

Escape. Otherwise, I will be outnumbered and if an army comes to fight, we will not be able to support them."

When Yun Dingxing heard this, he clapped his hands and shouted: "It is true that a hero comes from a young age. He builds more flags and drums to serve as a suspect. This is a wonderful plan. Do it immediately!"

What a big joke. Not to mention that Li Shimin was just a white man at the time. Why should Yun Dingxing, a third-rank official, listen to him? Li Shimin was the only one who followed his lead and was willing to obey Li Shimin, a sixteen-year-old boy who had not shown any talent at all.

Just talk?

Not only that, how did Li Shimin get close to the central army of Yun Dingxing?

You must know that the Sui army's border troops at this time were quite elite. Even if Li Yuan came in person, he could not approach easily without the court's order. Otherwise, if he was shot by a spy, his death would be in vain, let alone a white Li Shimin?

At that time, there were more than 200,000 Turkic troops, and they stormed Yanmen Pass for a month. The might of the army was obvious to all, so how could they retreat so easily?

Moreover, the Turkic cavalry had a huge advantage over the Sui soldiers and horses, that is, all the Turkic soldiers and horses were cavalry, while the Sui Dynasties were mainly infantry, and the number of cavalry was far outnumbered. Therefore, if the Turks wanted to retreat, the Sui soldiers

It was impossible for the cavalry to pursue them at that point, and even if they did, they would be beaten by meat buns and never come back.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for the Turks not to understand the situation, and to retreat just because of the slightest suspicion is simply a joke.

It is said that although Yang Guang pioneered the imperial examination, he gave poor scholars a chance to advance.

It can be seen from the small number of people who took the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty that the power of the aristocratic families still occupied the most important resources at this time. Even Yang Guang had to compromise with the aristocratic families many times, otherwise Yang Xuangan's rebellion would not have targeted Yang Xuangan alone.

.

At that time, Li Yuan was responsible for suppressing bandits in Hedong and Shaanxi. The tens of thousands of troops under his command were also elites, many of whom were Li clan's private soldiers, and their combat effectiveness was considerable.

At this time, Luoyang, the eastern capital, and Daxing, the western capital, were both located in elite areas and the center of the empire. Although banditry was present here, it was definitely not serious.

Unlike the Lu region where military service and labor were the most severe in the past, the people there were severely harmed. At this time, it can be said that rebellion was everywhere and there was smoke billowing everywhere.

The core territory of the Sui Dynasty was not completely in chaos because of its solid foundation.

Most of the hundreds of thousands of troops under Yang Guang's command are scattered in this area, and the situation is not bad.

However, during the siege of Yanmen County, the Sui Emperor, who was so happy with his achievements, was severely deceived.

Yang Guang has been besieged for so long, and Li Shimin, Bai Ding's son, has arrived. How is it possible that Li Yuan's army has been silent all this time?

Needless to say, even an idiot can see the trick here, it's so obvious.

According to the past situation of the Turkic invaders, after knowing that the soldiers and horses of the Sui Dynasty were coming for reinforcements, they should at least confirm carefully. Isn't a major military matter a piece of cake?

But the final result was that Shi Bi, as the overlord who commanded the grassland, was deceived so easily and actually retreated!

This action, no matter how you think about it, is full of conspiracy. Anyone who is not stupid and has some understanding of the strength of the Beidi family will know that the beginning and end are definitely deliberately letting things go!

There is no personal relationship between countries, and everything is based on interests. They can send troops early and finally give up the temptation to capture the Sui Emperor. The benefits that need to be paid are definitely not small!

Thinking about the person who gained in the end, the emperor was besieged at Yanmen Pass for a month. It was during this time that Li Yuan succeeded in suppressing the rebellion, and his strength increased by an unknown amount.

If the mastermind behind this was really the Li clan, it would be very easy to understand the sudden retreat of hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops.

At that time, Li Yuanming's physical strength was not very strong, or it could be said that it was all soft power such as potential connections, which had not been fully transformed into hard power such as soldiers and horses.

If Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty died suddenly or was captured by the Turks at that time, the Sui Dynasty would immediately fall apart. No matter how powerful the Li family's secret power was, it would not be easy to clean up the mess. Maybe one bad move would result in a failure.

, and finally the entire Li family was included.

But if Yang Guang had not died, any unexpected situation would not have occurred. Just like now, Li Clan's apparent strength only began to expand rapidly after Emperor Yang Guang was surrounded by Yanmen Pass.

Not only that, in order to build momentum for the Li clan, the Turks actually worked hard enough. The Turks would invade again the next year. As a result, Li Yuan and Wang Rengong joined forces and could keep them away with just a few thousand troops. It was easy.

It was as easy as child's play to repel the Turkic army.

If the Turkic cavalry is really so easy to deal with, then when the Sui Emperor was besieged at Yanmen Pass, the hundreds of thousands of elite Sui troops who followed him were all useless? And in the process of the Li clan's growth, the Turks have always been helping openly and covertly.

.

It was not until later that the Li clan unified the north and its power expanded. There was a huge conflict between the interests of the two sides, and they gradually began to turn against each other.

Not to mention national interests and righteousness, there is no concept of the country for the clan forces. They only follow their own family, and all actions are based on the interests of the family.

Besides, the Li Clan are originally barbarians, so it’s not surprising at all that they have secret connections with the Turks.

These are the more detailed information that will be sent to the hands later. Even if there is still a gap between everything Lei Hu analyzed and the facts, it is estimated that they are not much different from the facts.

Needless to say, Li Clan must have been stimulated by the unification of the six counties in Jiangdong, otherwise he would not have played so high and without a bottom line.

"What does Li Yuan want to do?"

Yuwen Clan Leader Yuwen Shang and Dugu Clan Leader Dugu Feng both looked very ugly at this time. In the internal meeting of the extremely slim clan, they all gritted their teeth and wished they could eat Li Yuan alive, this guy who broke the rules.

Li Clan was gaining momentum, but Yang Guang, who was on guard, would not let them plot easily anymore.
