Chapter Five Hundred and Eighth Emperor's Station in Heluo Suppressing Poyang
In the Sui Dynasty, which had just ended the confrontation between the Jin and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the powerful families under its command did not respect the emperor at all. Especially when the emperor was weak, they were eager to step on the emperor's bones to increase the family's strength to a higher level.
After Yang Guang was besieged in Yanmen County, the top powerful forces such as the Dugu Clan and the Yuwen Clan, instead of resenting the Li Clan for his treacherous act, were on the contrary very angry that they were too slow to take action and let the Li Clan pick him up.
The biggest bargain.
After all this trouble, Yang Guang's reputation as an emperor has been trampled into the mud. If he didn't have hundreds of thousands of elite guards of the Sui army in his hand, he would have been promoted to some careerists long ago.
A stepping stone.
Because of the unification of Leihu and the six counties of Jiangdong, the Yuwen Clan and the Dugu Clan at this time were much more anxious than they were at the same time in the original work of Shuanglong of the Tang Dynasty.
Seeing that Yang Guang has lost control of the world, this is a great opportunity for the Sui Dynasty to lose its deer and the whole world will chase it away. However, Lei Hu is far ahead of the three gates of the North, and the top officials of the three gates cannot help but
I was alert and wanted to catch up.
As a result, Li Clan took the lead and played it very well. Even if Yang Guang felt unhappy when he was used as a stepping stone, he had no choice but to help Li Clan, who was already gaining momentum. As time went by, Li Clan's strength would only become stronger and stronger.
If the Yuwen clan and the Dugu clan don't catch up, they may completely lose their chance in the future battle for world hegemony.
This is not the result the two families want to see.
The Li Clan can step on Yang Guang and rise to power, the Dugu Clan and the Yuwen Clan can do the same.
It's a pity that Yang Guang didn't give them a chance to make a move. Apparently, the siege of Yanmen County consumed all his last courage. After returning to Daxing safely, he noticed the changes in the environment, and there were more and more people with malicious intentions around him.
With a look in his eyes, the Sui Emperor, who was so happy about his success, ran to stay in Dongdu again.
Unfortunately, I don't know if Yang Guang is neurotic or has been stimulated by something. He feels that Dongdu, which he has worked so hard to build and operate, is no longer safe, so he actually wants to go to Jiangdu to avoid trouble.
It can only be said that the three expeditions to Goguryeo did too much damage to the Sui Dynasty. There were many rebels in Heluo land alone, and Wagangzhai among them was even more powerful, shaking the foundation of the Sui Dynasty's rule in Heluo land.
.
Not only that, the important generals in various places also showed signs of being out of control. Except for the towns and garrisons in Guanzhong and Heluo, the officers and soldiers in other places no longer listened to the greetings.
This is definitely a heavy blow to Yang Guang, who is so happy about his success.
Different from the official history and the original work of Shuanglong of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Guang did not go to Chengjiangdu.
It's not that he is unwilling, after all, Jiangdu was his fiefdom before he ascended the throne. He has been running it for nearly ten years, and Yang Guang's foundation there is still quite strong.
Unfortunately, Jiangdu's neighbor is Wu Guogong Lei Hu, who is known as the best prince in the world.
If before the third expedition to Goguryeo, Yang Guang was still confident that he could use his strength to intimidate Lei Hu from taking any rash actions, but now he did not have such capital.
It was not the reduction of the military power in his hands, but the collapse of the imperial majesty, which made Yang Guang no longer confident enough to suppress Wu Guogong, who was unparalleled in his personal martial arts and whose strength was also regarded as the first prince in the world.
Jiangdu is on the edge of the Yangtze River. The current Yangtze River waterway has probably fallen into the hands of Wu Guogong Leihu. If Yang Guang still goes to Jiangdu to avoid trouble, he must always be on guard against threats from the south of the Yangtze River.
Although Lei Hu showed enough respect for him in the previous exchanges, Yang Guang didn't want to gamble on Lei Hu's loyalty at all. He didn't want to die yet, so under the persuasion of his officials, he immediately turned off and headed to Jiangdong.
Thoughts of avoiding disaster.
Yang Guang's influence in the eastern capital was quite large. At least the raging development momentum of Wagang Village was easily suppressed by the hundreds of thousands of elite Sui troops who followed the emperor.
Even if this guy does nothing all day long and only knows how to live and drink, there are still capable people in the royal family. The mountain king Yang Lin alone is enough to suppress Heluo and make the rebel forces in Heluo land suddenly
been contained.
Generals such as Zhang Xutuo also emerged one after another. Yang Guang had the title of orthodoxy and was ranked first in the world in terms of military power alone.
After all, the Eastern Capital is not the great prosperity of the Western Capital. The Guanlong Military Group is not strong enough. This is the world of Shandong's aristocratic families. Yang Guang is still not happy here, but his life is quite safe.
Because Yang Guang did not go south to Jiangdu, the strength of the official army in the Heluo area increased instead of decreasing. The scattered Sui armies gradually gathered together, seriously compressing the living space of the rebels in the Heluo area.
Even if Li Mi joined Wagang Village, there would be no way to reverse this trend.
…
Lei Hu was currently in Yuzhang County. While listening to reports from his senior officials on the reception situation here, he was preparing to personally deal with Lin Shihong, the biggest obstacle to the Poyang Gang.
With Yang Guang's Holy Purpose in hand, the official reception work was very smooth. However, Yuzhang County is not a later generation, and the development intensity is not enough. The government's influence here can only be said to be average.
On the contrary, the leader of the Poyang Gang, Lin Shihong, relied on the power of the gang to become even more famous than the county guard.
According to normal history, Lin Shihong had already sent troops to seize Yuzhang at this time, and was preparing to start a crazy pattern that swept the entire Gan region, and directly established the Chu State in a few years.
But the situation is very different now. Before Yang Guang's third expedition to Goguryeo started, Wu Guogong Lei Hu sent out capable troops to take over Yuzhang County.
This move caught the Poyang Gang and Lin Shihong off guard.
As Wu Guogong's forces took over Yuzhang, the three imperial gangs, namely Iron Gate, Eagle Claw Gate and Ditang Gate, also followed suit in a timely manner, quickly compressing the Poyang Gang's living space.
Lin Shihong was a little hesitant. After all, the strength of the Iron Gate, Eagle Claw Gate and Ground Gate was there, and the Poyang Gang seemed to lack the confidence to merge with them.
He is a veteran and first-class expert, and he has a very secret identity. He is a member of the Yin Kui Sect, and his personal strength is quite strong.
It's a pity that the three major sects such as Tiemen are not vegetarians. Although there are no first-class masters among the three sects, they can invite a large number of first-class masters to help at any time, which makes Lin Shihong have to be wary.
Of course, what he fears the most is Wu Guogong Lei Hu, the world's best master is no joke.
Whether it was the strength of the Poyang Gang or the secret identity of the Yinkui sect, Lin Shihong was very well-informed. He knew the great achievements of Wu Guogong Leihu during the Sui army's second expedition to Goguryeo.
Not only did Fu Cailin, the master of Yijian in Goguryeo, silently and severely inflict a heavy blow, but he also split open the solid wall of Liaodong City with one blow. Such strength is truly respectable and awe-inspiring.
But just because of his hesitation, he missed the last chance.
When Thunder Tiger came to Yuzhang, Lin Shihong did not dare to act rashly.
But he didn't know that the main purpose of Lei Hu's visit this time was to deal with him and the Poyang Gang behind him, and eliminate all the unstable factors under his rule.
Lei Hu naturally knew Lin Shihong's secret identity, and directly sent a message to Lin Shihong through the Yin Kui sect, asking him to surrender directly. Maybe there would be other opportunities in the future, otherwise he would go against Lei Hu, and he would decide what would happen to him.
At this time, the chief helmsman of the Poyang Gang was in a gloomy mood. From the gang leader Lin Shihong down to the gang's central branch helmsman, everyone was gloomy and depressed to the point of almost vomiting blood.
Wu Guogong's warning is no joke. If they make the wrong choice, they will definitely face endless labor camps. They are quite familiar with the labor education policy under Wu Guogong, but the more they understand, the less they dare to try it themselves.
risk.
Even the leader of the gang, Lin Shihong, was quite afraid of reeducation through labor.
Of course, it is unrealistic for him to completely let go of the Poyang Gang. Even if the top leaders of the Yinkui faction ask him to surrender, he will not agree easily.
The power of the Poyang Gang is no joke. The number one gang in Ganland is worthy of its name. Lin Shihong can naturally rely on the power of the gang to become powerful.
Having been the master of one's own affairs for a long time, one naturally does not want to be subordinate to others, even if the other party is the best in the world.
Of course, Lin Shihong was reluctant to give up, but he did not have the courage to confront Wu Guogong. While he tried to make peace with the Yinkui faction, he was also actively making preparations secretly.
But now, he and the middle and high-level leaders of the gang must decide what to do. Otherwise, if the brothers in the gang don't have an idea, they will be as confused as headless flies.
But when it comes to choices involving personal interests, no one present can easily decide, including Lin Shihong himself.
Fight or surrender?
This gathering must be confirmed, otherwise when Wu Guogong loses their patience, even if they finally choose to surrender, they may not get any good results.
There are many heroes under the command of Duke Wu Guo, and there is no need to rely on the Poyang Gang to assist in running Yuzhang County. This makes the Poyang Gang very helpless.
Buzz…
Just when Lin Shihong reluctantly made a decision in his heart, raised his head and glanced at his confidants, and was about to say something, suddenly the air in the main helm lobby began to buzz with a soft buzz.
A terrifying force descended from the sky, instantly suppressing all the Poyang Gang's senior leaders present, making it difficult to stand up, as if a giant mountain was weighing down their hearts.
Lin Shihong felt the most profound. Not only was his soul suppressed at this time, his thinking was almost stagnant, and even the true energy in his body was completely suppressed and it was difficult to use it at all.
His mind went blank, and even his thinking stopped at this moment.
"Have you made up your mind whether to fight or surrender?"
Lei Hu walked in slowly, as leisurely as if he were walking in his own garden. He looked directly at Lin Shihong, who had a stiff face, as if his acupuncture points had been tapped, and said leisurely: "My patience is limited, I will give you ten breaths to think about it, and we will not wait until the expiration date."
!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the pressure on Lin Shihong relaxed and his brain returned to normal operation. He suddenly broke into a cold sweat and did not dare to look at Lei Hu.
Strong, too strong!
From the corner of his eye, he glanced at his subordinates who were still sitting motionless, and his heart suddenly became filled with despair, unable to think of any resistance.
It didn't take ten breaths, Lin Shihong smiled bitterly and said: "Wu Guogong, please show mercy, we are willing to surrender!"
The situation is stronger than the people. If they don't surrender today, they will all die!
