Chapter 175: The Dugu Clan Rises Troops

、、、、、、、、、、

Seeing that the power of the Yuan clan had risen sharply after the army, Dugu Luo, who had already been preparing to go, was also a little breathless. He also started an incident in Longxi County on June 10.

Dugu Luo's first banner was to crusade against the rebel Yuan clan. Then he ordered Dugu Zhen, Dugu Kuan, Liang Shidu and others to lead their troops into the neighboring counties of Jincheng, Anding, Pingliang, Tianshui and other counties, saying that they wanted to obtain the food and weapons in the treasury. to recruit the army of King Qin.

The county guards of the above four counties have a close relationship with the Dugu family, and they know that Dugu Luo is the uncle of the saint, so they all promise to let the soldiers and horses of the Dugu clan enter.

After Dugu Luo and others entered the four counties, they immediately put the county guards under house arrest, and then incorporated the soldiers of the four counties.

Immediately, they took out the weapons and equipment from the treasury and armed their newly recruited troops. At this time, the four county guards knew that they had fallen into a big trap. The Dugu clan also rebelled.

But it's too late to regret it. After Dugu Luo obtained the food and weapons of the four counties, he already asked for people, food and food, weapons and equipment were readily available, and the number of troops under his control reached 150,000. Even if he led the army to march to Guanzhong, he was ready to take the western half of Guanzhong in one fell swoop, and divide and rule with the Yuan clan with Xianyang as the boundary.

Originally, he thought that he could occupy the counties of Guanzhong as if he occupied Longxi. Unexpectedly, Jincheng Captain Xue Ju and his son Xue Rengao had fled to Chang'an and reported the matter to Yang Yu, the acting king.

Yang Yu then ordered that all counties in Guanzhong were not allowed to let Dugu Luo enter the city. Let Dugu Luo only enter the Guanzhong by attacking strongly.

Annoyed and angry, Dugu Luo ignored Liang Shidu's opposition, raised the banner of anti-Sui, announced his response to the Yuan clan, and supported Yang Jun, the king of Qi, as the new emperor of the Great Sui. and launched an attack on Guanzhong County.

Under the left and right attacks of the Dugu clan and the Yuan clan, most of the counties in Guanzhong fell, and only Chang'an, Tongguan, Luochuan and other cities were still controlled by the Sui army, and the world was shaken.

……

In June in Liaodong, it rained heavily, and the 200,000 Sui troops had stopped attacking the Yalu River and were on standby, waiting for notice.

Yang Guang stood at the door of his big tent, looking at the prairie in the rain and the mountains looming in the distance, but his heart was extremely annoyed.

His plan to lure the snake out of the hole was not unsuccessful, and the Guanlongmen valve really rebelled. Yuan's rebellion was expected by him, after all, as early as a few years ago, Yuanshou began to buy and sell grain, hoarding a large amount of grain, and even controlling the price of grain in some places. This made him very vigilant, and some of the younger brothers of the Yuan clan were not promoted because of this.

Therefore, if the Yuan clan wanted to rebel, Yang Guang would not be surprised.

But what he never expected was that the Dugu clan was also reversed. You must know that his mother, Yang Jian's wife, Queen Dugu, is the sister of Dugu Luo, the current head of the Dugu Valve. This uncle, whom he has known since childhood, also rebelled, which made it difficult for Yang Guangshi to accept it.

After a long time, Yue Zeng said to him cautiously: "Your Majesty, all the main generals in the army, as well as the important ministers of the court and the accompanying court, are waiting outside the camp, should this meeting be postponed?" ”

Yang Guang came back to his senses from his contemplation, and he immediately said sharply: "Open!" Why don't you open it? Notify them to come in immediately. I was only halfway through this expedition to Goryeo, and these young people couldn't help but make trouble. I was about to let them know what would happen to the rebels! ”

Immediately, he flicked his sleeves and turned to sit on his dragon chair in the big tent.

Yue Zeng said to the two little supervisors waiting outside the tent with a sigh of relief: "Inform the adults and generals at the gate of the camp to enter the big tent quickly!" Your Majesty is going to a meeting! ”

The two prisoners answered, and then hurried away.

A moment later, dozens of important ministers of the court and generals of the army strode into the big tent, and then bowed down together and said, "Ministers, see Your Majesty!" Long live our emperor! Banzai! Hooray! ”

Yang Guang reluctantly smiled at this time, and waved his hand and said, "All the Qing family is flat!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The ministers stood up and shook the rain off their bodies.

"Zeng Province, I ordered someone to move the chair and show it to you!" Yang Guang commanded.

Yue Zeng hurriedly beckoned the guards and prisoners in the tent, brought dozens of chairs, and asked the ministers to sit down.

After everyone sat down, Yang Guangfang said in a deep voice: "The reason why we canceled the march today is that we will continue to march. It's because I received an urgent report from China. The Yuan clan was in Hedong, and the Dugu clan rebelled in Longxi. These two rebels are in the same stream and march towards Guanzhong together, and most of the land of Guanlong has fallen into the hands of thieves at present......"

After that, he ordered Yue Zeng Province to explain the current situation in the country in detail.

When the ministers heard this, they were all shocked, but they did not expect that this expedition to Goryeo would encounter the same situation last year. And Yang Xuangan was the only one who rebelled last year. But now it is the Yuan clan and the Dugu clan who rebel at the same time.

Both of them are famous families in the Guanlongmen valve. The Yuan clan was the original Northern Wei royal family, and the Dugu clan was Yang Guang's mother's family. These two families rebelled, and the momentum and influence were much greater than that of Yang Xuan, who was born in the Hongnong Yang family.

Yang Guang saw that the ministers present, except for Pei Ju, Pei Yun and other people who knew the inside story, were all frightened, and they only felt angry in their hearts, secretly thinking that these ministers usually talk about the truth, if something big is coming, they will all be scared of the six gods, what is the use of asking these people to come?

So, he deliberately asked: "Now that the situation in Hedong and Guanlong is tense, I don't know what good strategies you Aiqing has to pacify the bandits?" ”

After these words were thrown, the generals in the army were silent, because they were more or less connected to these two families. The power of the Guanlongmen lord in the army is much greater than that of the court. Last year, Yang Xuangan rebelled, and the reason why it did not cause any shock in the army was because Yang Xuangan was born in the Hongnong Yang family, not a member of the Guanlongmen valve. Therefore, when Yang Guang asked questions, the generals in the army spoke enthusiastically, expressing their willingness to lead the army to conquer Yang Xuangan.

But now the rebels are the Yuan clan and the Dugu clan, the two major clans in the Guanlongmen valve, and they have an intricate relationship with these two major valves, so how dare they come forward to meet their former friends and even relatives?

On the contrary, a group of ministers who were not related to the Long family reacted, and they all made generous statements, denouncing the Yuan clan and the Dugu clan for not wanting to repay the king's kindness, but instead rebelling, and asked Yang Guang to return to the Central Plains immediately to exterminate these two rebels.

At this moment, Yu Shiji sneered and said, "All of you have asked to return to your division to quell the rebellion. Yu also understands, but didn't he give up the war in Liaodong again? Last time, it was because of Yang Xuangan's rebellion that it fell short. Is it time to resurrect Goryeo again? ”

Yu Shiji's words immediately calmed everyone down. Now that the situation on the battlefield in Liaodong is very good, it seems that it is about to cross the Yalu River and destroy Goryeo. If the tiger returns to the mountain again, the success will fall short, and in the future, when Goryeo recovers, it will be difficult to destroy the country again.

At this time, Qu Tutong immediately stood up and said, "Lord Yu's words are very reasonable! Qu had also fought against the Koreans, knew that they were cunning, and were good at luring greedy steppe tribes with small profits to take them as their wings. On this expedition to Goryeo, we encountered a coalition of at least five steppe tribes...... Therefore, Qu was willing to lead his headquarters to stay and continue to attack Goryeo! ”

When Yang Guang heard this, he was stunned, he wanted to keep people in Liaodong to continue to attack Goryeo, but he was not Qu Tutong. Qu Tutong can fight well, has no gate valve background, and is loyal to the Great Sui. How could he bear to leave Qu Tutong here to die?

So, he hurriedly glanced at Pei Ju and signaled that he could appear.

Pei Ju understood, coughed twice, and then said slowly: "General Qu is a famous general of my Great Sui, and the troops he belongs to are the elite of the elite. Now that the Goryeo army has stopped seven out of ten, it is a pity to let General Qu stay in Liaodong...... And now that the Yuan clan and the Dugu clan are rebelling, the momentum is huge, sweeping Hedong, Guanzhong, and Longyoudi, and good steel should be used on the blade. Weichen thought that General Qu should be allowed to return to the Central Plains to participate in the war against rebellion! ”

Pei Ju's words were immediately approved by Pei Yun, and he immediately echoed them: "This is very good. The power of General Equ should indeed be used where it is more needed. Not only to quell the rebellion of the two groups of rebels of the Yuan clan and the Dugu clan, but also to quell the bandits in Henan, Shandong, Hebei, Jianghuai and other places in the future, General Qu is also indispensable. Now that Goryeo has been greatly damaged, even if the army is left to continue the attack, there is no need for a famous general like General Qu! ”

The Pei brothers' singing and harmony made Qu Tutong useful, but the other generals in the army listened to it very badly. They didn't say anything, and their eyes that secretly glanced at Qu Tutong were a little hostile.

Moreover, as for the Bae brothers, Goryeo was already vulnerable, and they could destroy the country by sending an army to continue the attack. The generals in the army were unimpressed. For they know that the worm of the foot dies and does not stiffen.

In the previous battle outside Heishi City, the losses of the Goryeo coalition army were indeed large, but most of the dead were the troops of the Xi tribe, Heishui and Sumo, and most of the 50,000 elite troops of Goryeo still remained. In addition, although the Goryeo coalition army was defeated in successive battles, because it was all cavalry, not many people were killed, and most of the soldiers who lost were fleeing.

After fleeing the battlefield, these people have nowhere to go, and most of them are re-summoned after returning to their tribes. Therefore, this is also the reason why the Goryeo coalition army, which still has nearly 100,000 troops today.

Moreover, others are fighting at home, the time and place are favorable, and the people are all on the side of Goryeo, and the Sui army has been fighting continuously for a month since it entered Liaodong in the month, and the soldiers are tired and war-weary. In particular, they heard that the Guanlongmen valve rebelled, which made them even more unwilling to fight.

And after Yang Guang led the main force of the Sui army back to the division, it was impossible to have many troops left in Liaodong. In this case, don't say that you can destroy Goryeo, but I'm afraid that under the attack of Goryeo, it will be good to withdraw safely.

Therefore, the generals all looked at each other, and no one dared to stand up and ask to stay. Instead, he patted his chest in unison, asking to lead his troops back to the Central Plains to crusade against the two traitors Yuanshou and Duguluo.
