June of the ninth year of the Great Cause, late summer.

The Turkic tribes marched south, and the Golden Wolf Banner was stationed in Dali City, Dingxiang County, and the Sui Land was separated from it, in fact, there was only one Great Wall left.

At this time, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui still led his army, marching to Huaiyuan Town, and during the march, there were constantly escapees, making the third expedition to Liaodong extremely slow.

Along the way, they left behind many wooden poles, on which were hung the heads of the fleeing soldiers of the Sui army.

But this time, the cruel methods did not stabilize the morale of the army, on the contrary, the whole army was like a mourner, and there were more and more deserters, and even a formed contingent of Sui troops could not escape.

The roar of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui reverberated in the emperor's chariot.

But over the years, he has made too many jokes with the people of the world, so the people of the world have also begun to joke with him that is not funny, and at the moment when survival is becoming more and more difficult, no one cares too much about the emperor's anger.

The war in Shandong has spread throughout the country, and even though the army is closest to Hebei, the bandits in Hebei are becoming more and more rampant.

The Shandong people fled to Lianghuai, spreading the seeds of resistance farther and farther, and the anti-Sui beacon fire also burned in the south of the Lianghuai River.

Zhang Xutuo's fame is getting bigger and bigger, and he has become a big star in this year.

He ran back and forth in the mountains and wilderness of Shandong, defeating one thief after another, and the severed head was almost higher than Mount Tai.

But in fact, he has not had many soldiers under him, and no one has given him much support, but he has more and more titles on his head.

This is undoubtedly his sorrow. Of course, there is nothing surprising that this firefighter was ostracized.

In this day and now, when the whole world mourns. You're famous, and it's uncomfortable to look at your hard work. If you don't exclude you, who will exclude you?

Many people, I hope that the world will be more chaotic, many people are not pleasing to the eye of Zhang Xutuo, anyway, loyal ministers and good generals, at the end of a dynasty, most of them ended in tragedy, and there were not many Zhang Xutuo.

Shandong has long been bareland. The rebels are always defeated and reunited, never ending, and like a hydra, as soon as they cut off a head, another one can emerge.

Therefore, this mode of only suppressing and not appeasing, except for casting the name of Zhang Xutuo's good fighting, is useless.

Bandits are more and more suppressed, and finally. Even some Shandong clans have already risen up one after another, and some Shandong surnames have begun to appear frequently in the chaotic army.

Henan's Wagang Army gradually grew stronger, and the role of blocking the canal became more and more obvious. Becoming the leader of the Henan rebel army is also just around the corner.

On the contrary, it was the Bai Yusa rebels in the northwest who were in full swing, and in the summer of the tenth year of the Great Cause, they restrained their violent faces. It became quiet.

It's not about how good the rebels are, it's the result of many reasons.

The first. And most importantly, the Kansai military bloc is not blowing out. There are many talented people and correctional people, and it is impossible for the rebels to spread to the hinterland of Kansai.

It's a pity that at this time, the Great Sui treasury has been squandered by Yang Guang and has lost a few grains, and it has become impossible to enter and suppress the rebels.

Moreover, the children of the Guanxi Gate Lords have not seen the shadow of the emperor for a long time, and all kinds of thoughts have come to them, which also involves too much of their energy, and they can't do anything about seeing the rebels in the northwest grow bigger.

The second one, the mixed tribes in the northwest, and the rebels together, soon squeezed the living space of the other tribes.

Tuyuhun, the Qiang tribes, and even some Huns, Xianbei people, and even the merchants of the Western Regions and the Great Sui were all staring at this rebel army with hatred.

Third, the leader of the rebel army, Bai Yushao, was from too low a background, the Sui people called him a slave thief, and all the tribes in the northwest called him Bai Nu'er, and his background as a shepherd undoubtedly slowed him down to continue to expand.

Because like many uprisings, at the beginning, everyone was able to work together, but the more people gathered, the more people were united, and the people's hearts were not in harmony.

Many rebel generals will inevitably think at this time, you are a herdsman, how can He De be the head of everyone? Why don't I sit in that position?

Therefore, this rebel army does not need to be eliminated, sooner or later there will be some internal strife and split.

As a result, this large rebel army, after being rampant for a while, suddenly became weak.

In general, in the summer of the tenth year of the Great Cause, the world was a little more chaotic.

In a formal phrase, it was the peasant uprising against tyranny that was in full swing and seriously shook the foundation of the Sui Dynasty's rule, Balabala.

In fact, at this time, the war in the world has gradually changed from a simple peasant uprising at the beginning to a situation of competing for hegemony in the Central Plains.

The leaders of the rebel army also began to be not satisfied with the status quo of having enough food and good clothes, they wanted more, so they began to strengthen the Latin army, expand the army, occupy the territory, fiercely attack the grain and grass of the Great Sui, and rushed to the road of the princes or warlords.

Of course, there is nothing to say about this, and those who have read history know that this is an inevitable process in times of war.

There is no need to give them too much praise and disapproval, especially in such a chaotic time of war.

As the lowest people, this is undoubtedly hell, displaced, and destined like chickens and dogs, but for those who are "ambitious", this is the best year, and the opportunities are innumerable.

Li Po is not a person with big ambitions, so this summer, he didn't think about wealth and glory, nor did he think about the princely hegemony, he just took more than a hundred people and fled back to Mayi in embarrassment.

The defenders of this section of the Great Wall in Yunnei have long been incorporated by Heng'an Town.

These hardships are no better than the defenders in the military villages on the grassland in the clouds, and they live the same hard life as the poor people.

They are not righteous soldiers, they are the lowest part of the Great Sui army in the Northland.

Even the business travelers who came and went were unwilling to deal with them, which showed their low status, and their role, needless to say, they could not defend the Great Wall, let alone the first line of defense of the territory of the Great Sui, but only played a role in lighting a beacon fire and warning others.

Therefore, Heng'an Town just sent them some food, plus clothing, etc., and hundreds of Great Wall defenders threw themselves into the arms of the Heng'an Town Army without hesitation.

Acting State Governor's Office? To hell with him......

And this is also one of the prerequisites for the Hengan Town Army to be able to get out of the fortress.

When these bitter haha saw a team of guys who couldn't see much of their original color, galloping on war horses, if it weren't for the fact that there were too few people in this team, they would definitely light the beacon fire and ...... immediately fled to Heng'an Town.

To be precise, there were only one hundred and twenty-four soldiers of the Sui army who followed Li Po back to Heng'an Town.

On the way, people died of serious injuries one after another, every day, even if they returned to Heng'an Town, more than half of them fell ill one after another, and finally more than a dozen people died.

In these days, human life is so worthless.

Going out for 500 and coming back in the early 100s, the casualties were heavy, you can imagine.

They didn't come back too late, a group of people had already returned without incident, and the casualties were negligible compared to them.

But this is not a number game, back in Heng'an Town, Li Po just said to Li Bi, who came in a hurry, we met the Turks, and then fell into bed and fell asleep.

Needless to say, Li Chun's frightened soul was about to fly, and he never moved anywhere since he stayed by Li Po's side.

Li Bi was a little better, but he was also bluffed, in Liaodong they walked for almost half a year, traveling thousands of miles, but they had never seen Li Po so embarrassed.

In addition to regretting it in her heart, she also complained a little about her father, knowing that the Turks were going south, and she had to send people from Heng'an Town to take risks, if the people were gone, what should she do?

Afraid, even the plan to continue to get out of the jam was delayed.

What is especially odious is that the people who came back are almost the same as Li Po, and they all sleep like dead pigs, and some people even directly have a high fever, because the wounds on their bodies have suppurated.

As a result, the doctors in Hengan Town and Yunnei City are busy again.

Li Shenjun of Hengan Town lay down on the bed again, which was too worry-free, but it was almost the same as last time, there were very few wounds on this body, but there were some losses in the body, and if you make up for it for a while, you can jump up and down.

Li Po's sleep is a day and a night, and the one he sleeps is called a resounding breath, except that he is still breathing, he is almost like a dead man, even if he is stripped of his essence again, he has not woken up.

I was so tired that I didn't dare to stop along the way, dozens of war horses ran to death, and people were almost in a trance when they were tired, so they returned to Heng'an Town.

When they arrived at their own realm, as soon as their minds were relaxed, fatigue overwhelmed people's minds like a tidal wave.

By the time Li Po opened his eyes again, it was already the evening of the next day, and there was a strong protest in his stomach, which was no worse than the anti-Sui peasant uprising.

So, he pushed it away and pounced on him with disgust, and began to drop golden beans, and Li Chun, who was a little incoherent, gave her a slap on the head.

"If you're hungry, hurry up and get something to eat, and you'll know how to cry, and when you starve me to death, you should laugh, right?"

Li Chun, who has long been familiar with Li Po's bad mood and likes to be angry with people's virtues, broke into tears and laughed, and disappeared with a swish.

Li Po was still muttering, this bear child, just being tall and not having a heart, didn't know how to bring a piece of clothing first?

Then, holding his gurgling belly, he threw himself back on the bed, and let out a long sigh of comfort, thinking in his heart, this is nine deaths and one life, yes, our luck is still there, it must be a great disaster and there will be a blessing if you don't die.

Then he remembered his cheap teacher, and scolded in his heart, that old boy is not a thing, he has been following him, and he may not be able to get much on it, but this danger is really not small.

After that, I have to think about how to stay away from him as much as possible. (To be continued.) )
