In the afternoon of the same day, Yang Xuangan personally led the army to Liyang County.

The famous Liyang Warehouse is located fifteen miles east of the county seat, and it is a grain warehouse larger than the county seat, which stores nearly three million stone grain, which are all military rations to be sent to the front line in Liaodong.

At this time, the Liyang County Commander had already received a report sent by Yang Xuangan, claiming that he had received an urgent military situation, and Zhai Rang led the Wagang bandits to attack Liyangcang, and he led the army to help protect it.

The county commander of Liyang was taken aback, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers and horses in the city to go out of the city with him to greet him.

When he saw that Yang Xuangan really led a large number of soldiers to arrive, he was also overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to bow down and salute: "Inspector Yang's arrival really makes the Pengbi of this county shine." Liyang County ordered Liu Zizhou to meet Lord Yang! ”

Yang Xuangan smiled and returned the salute, noncommittal.

Liu Zizhou still didn't dare to slack off, he only said that most of the high-ranking officials have a good temper, Yang Xuangan, who was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has a lot of official positions than him, especially his position as an inspector of the seven counties, he can mobilize the materials and soldiers in the seven counties of Henan, although he does not have the right to cut first and then play, but he also has the right to supervise and supervise, which should not be underestimated.

At this time, he pointed to the two officials next to him and introduced them to Yang Xuangan: "These two are Bo Huyu, the county magistrate, and Fan Yuan, the supervisor of Liyang Cang. Xia Guan has already prepared a banquet in the palace to pick up Lord Yang! ”

Yang Xuangan laughed at this time, he was about to send someone to arrest Fan Yuan, the supervisor of Liyang Cang, after entering the city, but he didn't think about it...... This guy actually sent it to the door himself. If you take this person, you will be able to know the password and defense loopholes of the defenders of Liyangcang. He could easily take Liyang Cang.

"These three people colluded with the bandits, take them all for me!" He let out a loud shout.

Yang Rong and Yang Jun immediately led several soldiers to rush up, pressed the three officials to the ground, and took out ropes and tied them up firmly.

Liu Zizhou, the county commander, shouted in fright: "Lord Yang, you misunderstood!" We are loyal ministers of the Great Sui, how can we collude with bandits, this is wronged! ”

"Wronged? Let's go down and interrogate slowly! Especially to torture the situation in Liyangcang! Yang Xuangan waved his hand.

As soon as he said this, Hu Yu, the chief bookkeeper, suddenly understood, and he immediately shouted: "Yang Xuangan, do you want to fight Liyangcang's idea?" Isn't it going to rebel? ”

"Hahaha!" Yang Xuangan laughed three times, and then said coldly: "There is no way today, going against the sky, attacking Goryeo, so that the people are not happy, I have decided to set up a new emperor and no longer be loyal to that faint king." If you are sensible and submit to me, I will treat you with the courtesy of a countryman, and if you resist to the end, you will not blame me for turning my face and being ruthless! ”

Liu Zizhou and Fan Yuan were suddenly trembling with fright, their mouths opened twice, but they didn't say anything.

And that Hu Yu scolded loudly: "The Holy Lord treats you well, not only let you be the hereditary Duke of Yueguo, but also made you the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the inspector of the seven counties, but I didn't expect Yang Xuan to feel that you eat the king's favor and did not repay the king's kindness, but did that rebellious thing!" How can you be worthy of your father under the Nine Springs? Poor Yang Su I was so wise that he gave birth to a son who was a traitor, so that he was disgraced after his death! ”

After Yang Xuangan heard this, he was furious, and he immediately shouted to Yang Rong: "Rong'er, drag this bastard who doesn't know what to do and behead him!" ”

Yang Rong laughed fiercely, raised the knife in his hand, and when the knife fell, a bloody human head rolled down in front of Liu Zizhou and Fan Yuan.

Yang Xuangan pointed to the head of Hu Yu on the ground at this time, and smiled at Liu Zizhou and Fan Yuan: "Do you descend or not?" I don't care about killing a few more people! ”

Liu Zizhou and Fan Yuan had long been frightened by the bloody scene in front of them, their legs were weak, and they involuntarily knelt down together and said, "I am willing to serve Lord Yang......

On the second day of the fifth month of the ninth year of the Great Cause, Yang Xuangan officially announced the rebellion against Sui after taking Liyang, and he also called on the people of the world to raise the banner of righteousness, overthrow the faint monarch Yang Guang, and support the new monarch he established - Yang Xiu, the son of the former prince Yang Yong.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Xuangan, under the leadership of Fan Yuan, took Liyangcang without wounding a single soldier, and the guard general Zhao Huaiyi surrendered. He then opened a warehouse to release grain and relieve the hungry, and the hungry people in the vicinity were grateful, regarded them as reborn parents, and enthusiastically joined his rebels.

In less than ten days, Yang Xuangan's troops grew from less than 30,000 to more than 100,000. He soon took control of more than 20 county seats, and his prestige was great.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Xuangan divided his troops into three routes according to the plan drafted before, and marched towards Luoyang from the east, north, and south, and the Sui army was almost crushed at the touch of a button, and it was vulnerable to a single blow.

Under the influence of Yang Xuangan, Wang Shu, who had been hiding in the mountains, rose up again and attacked the nearby county seat, and the Shandong area was suddenly restless.

Zhai Rang's Wagang army also began to attack Dongping County, connecting more than ten county seats, and its prestige was on par with Yang Xuangan.

And Du Fuwei of Jianghuai, with the support of his sworn brother Fu Gongzuo, raised an army against the Sui, known as the Jianghuai Army, defeated Chen Ling, the general of the Sui army who came to exterminate him, and connected the seven county towns in the north and south of the Jiangbei River.

However, the situation in the Central Plains has changed abruptly, and the news has not yet reached the front line in Liaodong. The Sui army was still preparing to continue the battle against the Goryeo army.

In the north of the camp of the Sui army in Liaodong, there is a large tent with a dome of 20 zhang in diameter. From the two big characters of "Yuwen" fluttering on the flagpole at the door of the tent, it can be known that this is the big tent of Yuwen, the commander of the North Route Army of the Sui Army.

It's just that now the Three Route Sui Army has joined the division, and the command of the Northern Route Army has also returned to Yang Guang's hands.

At this moment, Yu Wenshu in the big tent was talking with his Sun Yu civilization. A day earlier, they had already received news that the boat crossing the river was almost completed, and Yang Guang also ordered the whole army to prepare for crossing the river.

"Ming'er, this attack on Black Rock City, you and Chengdu have made a great contribution, one for reinforcements, one for siege, and the army unanimously believes that the two of you have made the first and second merits. It is estimated that after the end of this expedition to Goryeo, the two of you will be promoted to Eagle Yang Lang General. Yu Wenshu said with a smile at this time: "Your eldest brother is only twenty-one years old, and you are only sixteen years old, everyone praises me Yu Wenshu has two good grandsons, and he is a general!" ”

"Grandpa has won the prize, and grandchild is just a fluke victory, and he uses more stratagems, unlike his eldest brother, but completely relying on his own martial arts to fight for his feats." Yu Wenming sneered.

"Ming'er, when you say this, are you joking that your eldest brother only has the courage of a horseman?" After Yuwenshu heard this, he laughed and laughed.

When Yu Wenming heard this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "The eldest brother, whether it is martial arts or character, as well as his righteousness towards his brother and his sense of responsibility for the family, are the best among our children in this generation!" Big brother has always been one of the people I respect the most! ”

Yuwenshu smiled slightly at this time: "Don't get excited Ming'er, grandpa is just joking with you." Of course, I know the relationship between you and Chengdu. ”

Speaking of this, he restrained his smile and sighed: "Alas, it would be nice if the children of the Yuwen family were united and friendly like your brothers. ”

Yu Wenming knew that his grandfather was talking about Yu Wencheng, Yu Wenjie and others, who did not make any contributions during the two expeditions to Goryeo, but they were ambitious and wanted to be the head of the family in the future. The two knew that they could not compete with Yu Wenming and Yu Wen Chengdu brothers in terms of military exploits. He put his idea into studying literature and participated in the imperial examination.

Although their exam results were not very good, with the help of their father, they relied on the connections accumulated by the Yuwen family since the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Yu Wenjie got the position of Huayin County Order, and Yu Wencheng got a position of Taifu Temple because he was the grandson of the emperor. can be regarded as stepping into officialdom.

It's just that the ambitions of the two are too heavy, and they both peep into the position of the head of the family, so that their minds are spent on currying favor with Yuwenshu and befriending the ministers of the court, but they ignore their own martial arts cultivation and learning the art of war, which is also what worries Yuwenshu.

Yu Wenming just smiled and was noncommittal. Now Yu Wencheng and Yu Wenjie are no longer in his eyes. These two men are no longer qualified to be his enemies. He didn't set his life goal at all in the position of the head of the Yuwen family.

"On this expedition, it seems that the Holy Lord is acting more normally." He said casually. Judging from the current situation, Yang Guang is about to regain the wise commander who went on an expedition to the Chen Dynasty twenty-four years ago and Tuyuhun four years ago.

At this time, Yu Wenshu sighed slightly, and Yu Wenming's words aroused his thoughts again: "In fact, people are not sages, how can there be times when they don't make mistakes." The biggest problem of the Holy One is that he does not listen to the advice of others, and if others persuade him, he will kill people! ”

Yu Wenming was silent for a moment and said: "The Holy Lord is sometimes too ruthless, which forces some people who would not oppose him to the point of being irreversible. ”

Yu Wenshu sighed: "Yes! Several of the sons of the former crown prince Yang Yong were killed, and during his northern tour five years ago, Gao Ying, the then prime minister of the country, advised him to build the Great Wall, and he was almost killed by him. Thinking of the Great Sui Dynasty that the first emperor worked so hard to establish, our group of old ministers who have been working hard since the establishment of the Great Sui Dynasty, thinking of the prosperous years that have finally appeared, have been ruined by the saint like this, and seeing that the building is about to collapse, I am also unwilling! ”

Yuwen Shu said in a tone full of grief and indignation: "Ming'er, you were still young when you built the Great Wall, and you didn't know how to cultivate. But I personally participated in supervising the construction of the Great Wall, and I know the process too well. Do you know how he built the Great Wall? ”

From Yulin to Zhuojun, the Great Wall is more than 1,000 miles long, and he has requisitioned more than one million people, requiring that it must be completed within three months...... It's only been a little time, only 90 days! Do you know how many people died in the end? More than a million people who built the Great Wall died, 500,000, nearly half of the number! ”

"In addition, he also excavated the Tongji Canal and the Yongji Canal, and also required two years to dig through, although I did not participate in the supervision of the construction of the canal, it was Yang Su who did it, but how many people died, I can also calculate, and it will never be much less than the Great Wall. Also, as soon as he ascended the throne, he had to build the new capital Luoyang, and asked to complete the construction of the eastern capital in ten months...... In addition, he also likes to tour the south of the Yangtze River, you say you will patrol. It is not necessary to offer food in a local area. Didn't he think about how much burden he would put on the local community? How much resentment will this cause? He didn't seem to have thought about it. Yu Wenshu said with a look of indignation.

Yu Wenming didn't speak, but he could feel the anger in his grandfather's heart, and the feelings of worrying about the country and the people in the heart of an old minister of the Great Sui.

After pondering for a moment, he slowly explained: "Actually, many things in the Holy Heaven are not bad, but the means and methods of his actions are wrong, and they have caused evil results, just like building the Great Wall, which is to defend against the Turks. However, the saint did not handle some details well, and was too eager for quick success, so that it attracted everyone's resentment. For example, the canal excavation can be said to be a thousand years old, but he demanded that it should be completed in only two years, and the disadvantages fell on the present generation. ”

After Yu Wenshu heard this, he sneered and said, "Yes! He dug canals, relocated the eastern capital, and built the Great Wall...... I can understand that the saint is eloquent and strategic, but he treats the people like mustard, spends extravagantly, and is domineering, didn't he die like this when the tyrannical Qin died? I'm just afraid that he will follow the old path of Qin II. Believe it or not, I think there are already a lot of ambitious people who have plotted to start an incident! ”

Yu Wenming was also speechless, of course, he knew better than Yu Wenshu how the Sui Dynasty died and what people rebelled. Now even his grandfather Yu Wenshu is so dissatisfied with the hardcore loyal ministers of the Great Sui, let alone others.

Da Sui, it seems that it is really in danger.

At this moment, an urgent report from a herald came from outside the camp gate: "General, Your Majesty has notified that all the generals and above have been ordered to hold a meeting in the big tent, saying that there is an urgent military situation to discuss." ”

"Okay! The old man will go right away! Yu Wenshu nodded, then got up and smiled bitterly at Yu Wenming: "Presumably, the boat to cross the river has been built, I hope that after destroying Goryeo this time, Your Majesty will restrain the idea of using troops abroad." Da Sui can't stand the toss anymore......"
