Yang Xuangan gave the order, the whole army marched westward, and went out to fight to protect Lai'er, wasn't Donglai in the east of Liyang? Yang Xuangan accepted Li Mi's strategy of attacking the eastern capital, but neither Yang Xuangan nor Li Mi had led troops to fight, and they didn't know what an attack was.

First of all, Yang Xuan felt that he wanted to cross the Yellow River from Linqing Pass, which was directly south of Liyang, and the guards and local residents of Linqing Pass were alert to the wrong situation, so they shot with bows and arrows to prevent people from crossing the river. Yang Xuangan could only cross the Yellow River in Jijun further west, and Yang Xuangan's army marched forward in chaos like rushing to the market, and all the cities along the way were all on guard.

Yang Xuangan's troops only have a shield made of willow wood and a single knife, and there is no way to attack the city, so it is incredible to attack Luoyang, because Luoyang is the best fortress in the country of the Sui Dynasty at this time, in fact, as long as all the cities are tightly guarded, ignoring Yang Xuangan, it will not take ten days and half a month, Yang Xuangan's rabble can only be disbanded.

The problem is Yang Guang's personality, if he sits back and watches the thieves mess around, he will definitely be questioned. Therefore, Fan Zigai left behind in the eastern capital and sent Henan Ling Daxi to lead 5,000 people, and Henan Zanzhi Pei Hongce led 8,000 people to meet Yang Xuangan's troops respectively.

The people brought by Yang Xuangan have no military training, and the army sent out by Fan Zigai has not received military training, the difference is that the people are all strong men who have contributed their strength, but what comes out of Luoyang City are citizens and businessmen, Fan Zigai has the responsibility to defend the city, so he naturally refuses to let the only real soldiers in his hands fight. As a result, God gave Yang Xuangan 13,000 weapons and equipment, only Pei Hongce fled back with a dozen cavalry, and the rest were either killed or surrendered to Yang Xuangan.

Things in the world are so wonderful, when Yang Xuangan's troops put on captured military uniforms, held the seized weapons, waved flags, and their armor appeared clearly outside the north gate of Luoyang East City. The people on the periphery of Luoyang thought that Yang Xuangan was the king's master, and the fathers and elders competed to present beef and wine, and the young people went to the camp to serve in the army, and in a few days, they gathered 50,000 people.

So Yang Xuangan ordered to start attacking Luoyang City, and Fan Zigai was a veteran of battles, so he improvised to stop the offensive of Yang Xuangan's army. However, Fan Zigai did not dare not go out of the city to fight, and when Fan Zigai ordered Pei Hongce to lead the troops out of the city again, Pei Hongce refused, because unless Fan Zigai sent his own soldiers out, he would simply go to death. The only thing Fan Zigai could do was to ask his subordinates to drag Pei Hongce out and cut him down, otherwise there would be no way to continue the defense work of Luoyang City.

This frightened the children of those pampered officials in Luoyang City, and as a result, more than forty people ran to surrender to Yang Xuangan, including Yang Gongdao, the son of Prince Yang Xiong, Han Shiyu, the son of the famous general Han Baohu, Lai Yuan, the son of Lai Hu'er, Zheng Yan, the son of Zheng Shanguo, Dali Qing, Yu Rou, the son of Yu Shiji, Pei Shuang, the son of Pei Yun, and so on.

Chang'an sent Wei Wensheng to lead 40,000 horses to support the eastern capital Luoyang, and when Wei Wensheng passed through Yang Su's hometown Huayin, he dug up Yang Su's grave and burned Yang Su's body. Wei Wensheng's move was to express his loyalty to the imperial court on the one hand, and on the other hand, to declare his determination to die to the soldiers, because this time he had formed a blood feud with Yang Xuangan.

Wei Wensheng has no strategy in the art of war, he will only ask the soldiers to charge bravely, and Yang Xuangan failed in several battles, Wei Wensheng severely punished the retreating soldiers, the soldiers were dead when they moved forward, and they died when they retreated, and in the end they could only tie white cloth strips on their heads, sit on the ground blankly, ignoring the progress of the battle, and Wei Wensheng's army was almost wiped out.

Yang Xuangan's army continued to win victories, and the number of surrendered people who automatically came to serve increased every day in thousands, and it didn't take long for Yang Xuangan to have more than 100,000 horses. But at this time, the troops of the expedition to Liaodong had also rushed back one after another, and the forward was led by Qu Tutong and stationed in Heyang, followed by Qu Tutong was Yuwenshu.

Yang Xuangan wanted to divide his troops to prevent Qu Tutong from crossing the Yellow River, but Fan Zigai desperately sent people out of the city to attack Yang Xuangan's camp, and successfully delayed the movement of Yang Xuangan's army. So Qu Tutong successfully crossed the river and Fan Zigai formed a situation of attacking Yang Xuangan from east to west, and Yang Xuangan fought on both sides and began to suffer defeat.

Li Mi offered advice to Yang Xuangan, asking Yang Xuangan to deceive the troops that Yuan Honghei, the left-behind guard of the thirteen counties of Longyou, had also raised troops, and invited Yang Xuangan to go to the alliance with Hangu Pass. Yang Xuangan also knew that Luoyang City couldn't stay, and he couldn't go if he didn't go, so Yang Xuangan ordered the whole army to lift the siege of Luoyang and go west to Tongguan.

When Yang Xuangan's army advanced to Hongnong County, because Hongnong had a lot of grain in stock, Yang Xuangan wanted to attack, Li Mi desperately dissuaded, Li Mi said to Yang Xuangan: "You are now deceiving the troops to move west, the chasing army is not far behind, if you don't reach Tongguan in time, the army will be surrounded in the wilderness, and there is no danger to defend and it will be scattered in a hurry." ”

Yang Xuangan heard that he agreed at that time, but when he passed through Hongnong City, Yang Zhiji, the prince who defended the city, scolded Yang Xuangan loudly at the head of the city, and Yang Xuangan couldn't help but order the siege of the city, and this fight was three days. Li Mi said to a close friend: "Yang Xuan loves rebellion, but he doesn't know how to succeed, and now we have become a turtle in an urn." ”

When Yang Xuangan found that he couldn't beat Hongnong City, he had to lead the army to continue westward, but precious time was lost, and in Pandou, Yang Xuangan's army was surrounded by Yuwenshu, Laihu'er, Qu Tutong, and Wei Wensheng, and Yang Xuangan's army failed in three battles in one day.

Yang Xuangan's army did the final decisive battle in Dong Duyuan, ten miles west of Pandou, and it was defeated and collapsed, Yang Xuangan only led a dozen cavalry to break through, and in the end only he and his younger brother Yang Jishan were left, Yang Xuangan said to his younger brother: "I can't be caught and killed, you help me end my life." Yang Jishan committed suicide after drawing a knife and hacking Yang Xuangan to death, but he did not succeed in his death and was arrested by the pursuers.

Yang Xuangan rebelled, and in less than two months, he lost the lives of the whole clan, and Yang Su's seven sons and all his grandsons were all killed. Li Jing only had time to participate in the siege of Dong Duyuan, and after the whole incident, Yang Guangxing rewarded the meritorious personnel, and Wang Rengong was named the county guard of Mayi, which was a big fat shortage, because Mayi was the largest horse trading market in the country.

Originally, according to Li Jing's merits, Li Jing should be crowned governor, and the emperor instructed Li Jing to be ranked under Wang Rengong and be a general guard, but Wang Rengong pondered for a while, and finally gave Li Jing the position of Juncheng. Anyway, there is no general guard in Mayi County, and Li Jing is actually still a general guard, and his position is one level lower so as not to have any opinions from the emperor.

In the following year, Yang Guang sent troops to crusade against Goguryeo, at this time it was already full of mutants, most of the summoned troops did not arrive at the meeting place, and Yang Guang would not fight without a million troops, so he had to appoint Laihu'er as the marshal and stayed in Huaiyuan Town.

This time, the Goguryeo army was defeated and advanced to the banks of the Yalu River, and the shrewd Goguryeo king sent Hu Sizheng in a prisoner cart and sent envoys to ask for reconciliation. Yang Guang was too happy, and immediately issued an edict to order Hu'er to withdraw the army. Since Goguryeo did not surrender the letter, Lai Hu'er knew that Goguryeo was cheating and insisted on continuing the attack, but unfortunately no one on the left and right generals wanted to fight, so Yang Guang's third expedition to Liaodong ended hastily.

Due to Yang Guang's three expeditions to Liaodong, a large number of war horses and transport pack animals were consumed, so they had to buy supplies from the nomads, so the livestock trade in Mayi was unprecedented. In order to sell their livestock at a good price, the Turks bribed Wang Rengong lavishly, and Wang Rengong made a lot of money, and the relative Turks became rich. Since Ashina Rangan returned to the Sui Dynasty, the Turkic people in the area were able to devote themselves to grazing and breeding livestock because there was no war, and the population grew by leaps and bounds after living a comfortable life. By the time Ashina Rangan's son Ashina Duji succeeded him as Turkic Khan, the Turks had hundreds of thousands of armed forces.

Pei Ju, the general in charge of running the Western Regions, saw that the signs were wrong, and suggested that the emperor Yang Guang marry the princess to Ashina Jiji's younger brother Ashina Ji, and named him the Little Khan to divide the Turks, but Ashina Jiji did not dare to accept it. Pei Ju saw that there was a strategist named Shi Shu Hu Xi who was quite knowledgeable by Ashina's side, so he lied and said that he would negotiate trade between the two countries with him, and when Shi Shu Huxi came, he would kill him.

It just so happened that Yang Guang wanted to go to the outside of the Saiwai to inspect, so he ordered Li Yuan to serve as the comfort envoy of Hedong and go to Taiyuan to take care of the preparations first. Yang Guang arrived in Taiyuan to Fenyang Palace to escape the summer, and when Yang Guang arrived at Yanmen. The whole army has long been mobilized to ambush in the nearby Ashina Duji to surround Yanmen, and launched a full-scale attack, Yanmen County belongs to the forty-one cities, in addition to Yanmen City, the queen of Qi Yang Xuan held the south of the county, the remaining thirty-nine were captured by the Turks.

There were still 150,000 soldiers and civilians in Yanmen City, and there was enough food for twenty days, but Yang Guang had never fought under a disadvantage, and hugged his youngest son all day long and wept. Yuwenshu actually advised Yang Guang to select thousands of cavalry to break through, and the stupid general only cared about fleeing for his own life, but fortunately, Da Nayan Su Wei and Hubu Shangshu Fan Zigai tried their best to stop it, because cavalry field combat is a Turkic specialty, and it is difficult to imagine what it would be like to be chased and killed by the Turks all the way in the open land for hundreds of miles.

At this time, Li Shimin was a small officer under Yun Dingxing, because the Turkic army was numerous, the number of rescue troops in the Sui Dynasty was scarce, and the hard attack must have suffered heavy sacrifices.

On the other side, Mayi County in the north also received a call from King Qin, but now Mayi is alone and in danger, Wang Rengong asked Li Jing what to do? Li Jing said: "I will lead 2,000 cavalrymen who are good at archery to Yanmen to support. ”

It is natural for the chief officer to guard the city, and the deputy chief officer to go on the expedition, but Wang Rengong is already a wealthy man, he knows that Li Jing is deeply strategic, and Ma Yi has to rely on Li Jing to protect it.

Wang Rengong said to Li Jing: "Wei Mulan can fight habitually, you can ask him to go with Captain Yingyang Liu Wuzhou, whether the city of Mayi can be defended or not depends on you, you can't go out of the city easily." ”

So Wei Mulan led 2,000 elite cavalry and Liu Wu out of Mayi City together, facing hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops all over the mountains, Wei Mulan and his entourage could only sneak forward in a roundabout way, arrived outside the city of Yanmen, and after a night of full rest, at dawn Wei Mulan's whole army launched a surprise attack on the Turkic army besieging Yanmen City. The cavalry with the lance was in front, and the cavalry with the bow was behind, and they fiercely attacked and advanced in the direction of the gate of Yanmen City.

Wei Mulan wore a bright red battle robe as an indicator, and the whole army went there wherever he went, stabbing and shooting wildly. The Turkic army did not expect that there was a fierce god behind it, and the soldiers defending the city of Yanmen saw the reinforcements killing to thunder, and they also sent troops out of the city to help the battle, and there was a scuffle outside the city of Yanmen.

Yang Guang was told that he hurried to the city to watch the battle, and saw a red-robed general from a distance, who was good at archery, shooting left and right, and the enemy fell to the ground one after another.

Wei Mulan's army broke through the encirclement of the Turkic army and entered Yanmen City, Yang Guang was besieged by the Turks for nineteen days, worrying and worrying every day, Yang Guang can finally breathe a sigh of relief now.

The eastern capital of Luoyang stayed behind Qu Tutong to lead 200,000 reinforcements to advance to the pass south of Yanmen. The next morning, the soldiers and civilians of Yanmen City woke up, and not a single Turkic soldier outside the city wall could be seen. The Turks are not fools, the Central Plains are not afraid of losses, the Turks die one less one, there is no advantage to take advantage of, and when to wait.

Li Jing and the others walked south, and when they woke up one morning, they found that everywhere they could see was full of mutants, with more than 5,000 people, and there were not enough bows and arrows to stop so many people from attacking. Just when everyone was disheartened and their faces were pale, a burst of dust rose in the northwest.

Lishan flew 100,000 people to attack Taiyuan County, the guard general Pan Changwen was killed, Li Shimin privately led his subordinate 500 cavalry to the rescue, and at this critical moment, saved the lives of Li Jing and his party. However, the army is state, and Li Shimin cannot escort them south, so he can only leave bows and arrows for them.

Li Jing had to pass through Jinyang City again when he returned to Mayi, and as soon as Li Jing entered the Taiyuan County boundary, he saw that troops were being recruited everywhere, and Li Jing was also an important member of the frontier, knowing that without the order of the imperial court, the magistrates were not allowed to recruit troops on their own, and he felt that something was about to happen. So when he entered Jinyang, he first quietly inquired about what was going on, and it turned out that his subordinate Liu Wuzhou rebelled, attacked and killed Wang Rengong, surrendered to the Turks, and occupied the entire Mayi County, not only defeated the Yanmen County Guard's crusade against him, but also laid down Yang Guang's palace Fenyang Palace, and then surrounded Yanmen City.

How could this be? Li Jing had no shirk of his duty and hurried to Jin to pay homage to Li Yuan, hoping to send troops for him Li Jing to recover his territory. However, Li Yuan actually said that there were no soldiers in his hands and were recruiting, Li Jing knew that the huge Taiyuan was left behind to govern five counties, and he had just fought with Lishan Feibianmin, so it was impossible to have no soldiers.

At this time, Li Jing was alone in Jinyang, with no soldiers and no generals, only a few attachés to follow, and he was helpless for a while. A few days later, Li Jing saw that the envoys of Yanmen County were constantly appearing in Jinyang, and Li Jing talked to them in the post station, only to know that Li Yuan had not sent a single soldier from beginning to end. Li Jing, who was deeply strategic, knew that the big thing was not good, Li Yuan wantonly recruited soldiers, but he sat back and watched his territory in danger and did not save it, there was only one possibility, Li Yuan himself was going to rebel.
