Yang Xuangan then stationed troops in Henan County, preparing to attack the eastern capital Luoyang, and preached to the occupied counties and counties: "As a Shangzhu country, Yang has a lot of gold at home, which can be said to be rich and expensive. Yang now has nothing to ask for, regardless of the danger of being destroyed and exterminated, just to relieve the suspense of the people of the world and save the life of Li Min. ”

The people along the route were glad to hear his incitement, and thousands of people came to his army every day to ask for service. Yang Xuangan's confidence increased greatly, and he couldn't wait to write a letter to Fan Gai, explaining the stakes, hoping that Fan Gai would submit to him, but Fan Gai sternly refused his surrender, and instead stationed troops in the Tiger Prison Pass to prevent Yang Xuangan from entering Luoyang. made Yang Xuan feel that it was difficult to advance for a while.

Half a month later, the situation changed: Chang'an guarded Xuan, led an army of 50,000, and rushed over from Guanzhong to rescue Luoyang on the order of Yang Guang.

Wei Xuangan first used 20,000 infantry and cavalry to cross the Yellow River as the front army to challenge, Yang Xuangan decided to adopt the method of luring the enemy to go deeper, first pretending to be defeated and retreating, and then leading the enemy into his ambush circle.

Wei Xuan didn't know what to do, so he just chased after him, but at this time, Yang Xuangan's ambush rushed out, and the Sui army panicked and almost collapsed. Wei Xuan's front army was all annihilated.

A few days later, Wei Xuangan fought with Yang Xuangan again, and not long after the two armies fought, Yang Xuangan deliberately made people shout: "The official army has captured Yang Xuangan!" ”

Wei Xuanjun thought that his side had won a big victory, and suddenly relaxed. But at this time, Yang Xuangan personally led 8,000 cavalry to attack from the flank, and shouted that he was still there, and Yang Xuangan's army was suddenly demoralized.

Seeing that the enemy commander was still there, the soldiers of Wei Xuan had a big gap in their hearts, and their morale was suddenly frustrated. In the end, Wei Xuan fled with only 2,000 people.

Yang Xuan felt brave and powerful, and every time he fought, he personally wielded his spear, taking the lead, shouting, and the enemies were shocked. People compared him to Xiang Yu.

In the early stage of the uprising, he was good at pacifying and leading the troops, and those soldiers who joined the army were also willing to fight to the death for him, so he was invincible.

Wei Xuanjun was very embarrassed by the pursuit and slaughtered, and he did not gain a firm foothold until he retreated to Pishan.

However, at this time, he also received support from the Sui army from Hedong and Jingxiang.

But although his army increased, his food was somewhat insufficient. So Wei Xuan decided to make a desperate bet and led all the people to fight a decisive battle immediately, and the position was placed in the north.

Because the Sui army was fighting against the water, it was very brave, and Yang Xuangan's army fought more than a dozen times in one day, and the two sides won and lost each other.

Yang Xuangan also suffered a defeat for the first time: his younger brother Yang Xuanting was accidentally killed by a stray arrow from the Sui army, causing his troops to collapse.

In desperation, Yang Xuangan's army had to retreat slightly. At this time, Li Yuan, who was in Xingyang, also sent troops to arrive and killed Yang Xuangan's army from behind, and Li Yuanzhi's Li Xuanba killed Yang Xuangan's younger brother Yang Xuanzong with a hammer in front of the formation. Yang Xuangan's army was suddenly defeated and had to retreat to Liyang.

At this time, Yang Guang had already arrived in Hebei. He then ordered Chen Ling, the general of Wu Benlang who rushed from Jianghuai to support, led a partial division, marched to the city of Liyang, and began to attack Yuan Wuben, who had surrendered to Yang Xuangan.

Then, Yang Guang sent Qu Tutong, the general of the Right Military Guard, to be stationed in Heyang, preparing to cross the Yellow River to attack Yang Xuangan's army.

Zuo Yiwei's general Yu Shu also led 100,000 Sui troops to follow, and Yang Xuan felt that the original good situation was suddenly reversed.

Yang Xuan felt remorseful at this time, and was busy asking Li Mi to take care of it.

After thinking for a while, Li Mi said: "My lord, Yushu has an army of 100,000, and the fierce generals in the army are like clouds, if his army arrives, our army will be difficult to resist. However, the Qu Tu Tong army was slightly weaker. If he is allowed to cross the Yellow River and join forces with Yushu, then the defeat is certain. It is better to divide the troops and refuse to defend the Yellow River, as long as Qu Tu cannot pass the Yellow River, Fan Gai and Wei Xuan will lose their reinforcements. And before the arrival of the enemy's reinforcements, they defeated Wei Xuan and Fan Gai's army first, and there was still a glimmer of hope for victory. ”

Yang Xuangan thought that this plan was feasible, so he sent his Yang Rong to the Yellow River to resist Qu Tutong.

Fan Gai saw through his plan and kept attacking Yang Xuangan's military camp, so Yang Xuangan hesitated again, worried that after dividing the army, he would not be able to defeat Fan Gai and Wei Xuan's army.

Qu Tutong seized this opportunity, crossed the Yellow River, garrisoned troops in Poling, and threatened the flank of Yang Xuangan's army.

At this time, Yang Xuangan had to divide the army, resisting Wei Xuan in the north, Qu Tutong in the east, and Fan Gai in the west.

A few days later, Yushu led the main force of the Sui army to the battlefield and made contact with Qu Tutong, Fan Gai and Wei Xuanren, and the four Sui armies attacked at the same time and started a major battle with Yang Xuangan.

Due to the strong strength of the Sui army, Yang Xuangan's army was frequently defeated.

Yang Xuan felt helpless, and asked Li Mi again, Li Mi sighed: "Now that the main reinforcements of the Sui army have arrived, our army has been defeated repeatedly, and we can't stay for a long time." Now the Sui army in Guanzhong has long been brought to Henan by Wei Xuan, and it is empty. It is better for our army to go directly to Guanzhong and open the Yongfeng warehouse to help the poor and regather strength. After capturing Guanzhong, it will develop eastward and compete for the world, which is also the only hope. ”

The strategy offered by Li Mi is actually the middle strategy of the upper, middle and lower strategies he offered to Yang Xuangan at the beginning.

It's just that if this strategy is used before the main force of the Sui army returns, it is a good strategy. And now, under the siege of more than 200,000 Sui troops, it is obviously impossible to take the pass. But if he didn't act according to this plan, Yang Xuangan's army would inevitably be completely annihilated.

However, at this time, several people from the Hongnong Yang clan asked to be guides, saying that they could lead Yang Xuangan to attack Hongnong.

And Yang Xuangan and Yang Su's father were originally from the Hongnong Yang family, and he was very happy to see this. So he gave up attacking Luoyang and decided to take Guanzhong in the west.

And Yushu led the main force of the Sui army to follow behind. After arriving at Hongnong, the fathers and villagers of the family stopped Yang Xuangan and said: "Hongnong City is empty, and there is a lot of grain in storage, which is easy to attack. In this way, the head of the family can open a warehouse to help the people and recruit soldiers and horses. ”

Yang Xuan felt that it was true, so he stayed to attack Hongnongcheng. But what he didn't expect was that Pei Xingyan, the guard of Hongnong City, guarded the city well, he fought all day and night, but he couldn't beat it, but Yushu's pursuers chased after him.

Yang Xuan felt helpless, so he had to continue to flee westward, fighting and leaving with the official army, and was defeated by Yushu several times.

He decided to make a desperate bet, mobilized all the horses to set up a battle formation in Dong Duyuan, Yu Shu ordered Yu Chengdu to attack as the vanguard, killed Yang Jun of Yang Xuangan with a boring, and captured the banner of Yang Xuangan's army, and the rebels were immediately defeated.

Yang Xuangan escaped alone with more than a dozen personal soldiers in the mountains and forests and ran to Shangluo.

But what he didn't expect was that Yushu sent elite cavalry to speed up the pursuit with one person and two horses, and soon caught up with Yang Xuangan.

Yang Xuangan fought with the pursuers in Jialushu, and although he repelled the enemy, all his men were killed, and only his brother Yang Jishan accompanied him. However, there were shouts and killings all around, and the Sui army began to advance to the mountain.

Yang Xuan felt that he would inevitably die, so he said to Yang Jishan: "The incident has been defeated, I can't die at the hands of the Sui army and be humiliated, Jishan, brother is willing to die at your hands." ”

After Yang Jishan cried bitterly, he had to tearfully draw a knife and hack Yang Xuangan to death, and then committed suicide himself. But when he swung his knife and slashed his neck, he was knocked off by Yu Chengyi, who had just found them.

So he was captured by Yu Chengdu and sent to Yang Guang's palace with Yang Xuangan's rank.

After Yang Guang returned to Luoyang, the eastern capital, he ordered Yang Xuangan's body to be divided and exposed to the sun, and then his meat was cut into pieces and set on fire. Yang Xuangan felt that the rest of the party was all quelled by Yushu, Wei Xuan, Fan Gai, Qu Tutong and others.

Yang Xuangan's younger brothers Yang Xuanjiao, Yang Wanshuo, Yang Minxing, and his son Yang Rong were all killed. In the court, the ministers requested that Yang Xuangan's Yang surname be changed to Xiao's surname, and Yang Guang also issued an edict to agree.

And the reason why Yang Guang took such revenge on Yang Xuangan was not only because he caused his own war to destroy Goryeo fall short, but more importantly, Yang Xuangan was the first head of the family to rise up and rebel. This inevitably shook the foundations of the Sui dynasty's rule.

After Yang Xuangan raised troops, Liu Yuanjin, a peasant from Yuhang, also raised troops in response, causing a great split in the Sui ruling group, and a large number of nobles and bureaucrats surrendered to Yang Xuangan. For example, more than 40 family disciples such as Yang Gongdao of Guan Wang Yang Xiong and Han Shige of Han Baohu all joined Yang Xuangan's army.

In the imperial court, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, Zhao Yuanshu, a doctor of Guanglu, and Hu Sizheng, a waiter of the Ministry of War, were also found to have conspired with him. Zhao Yuanshu was immediately beheaded and punished by the nine clans. Hu Sizheng could not be executed because he had fled to Goryeo, but Yang Guang also ordered all his family members to be arrested and imprisoned, just waiting for the autumn queen to be beheaded.

Because the nephews or relatives of many important ministers in the court voted for Yang Xuangan, Yang Guang also carried out a purge of the officials in the court, and all the courtiers who were close to Yang Xuangan and Yang Su were dismissed or exiled.

And Yushu was appointed as the secretary of the military department because of his great contribution in the battle to extinguish Yang Xuangan, and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the secretary of the Ministry of Officials are still Pei Yun and Pei Ju.

Wei Xuan was promoted to the secretary of the criminal department because of his merits, Fan Gai was also promoted to the secretary of the household department because of his merits, and Yu Shiji served as the secretary of the Ministry of Works. The six of them formed a new cabinet class, and Pei Ju concurrently served as the right minister and became an official.

This is also Yang Guang vigorously promoting an old minister like Yushu who is a Guanlongmen valve, and at the same time, he does not forget to balance with the Shandong scholars. After all, he was mainly not at ease with the Guanlongmen valve.

"General Yu, I only brought two guards with me, so I walked faster. In fact, there are 10,000 soldiers behind, led by General Zhang, and it is estimated that they will arrive in Liaodong in the next few days and serve as Liaodong's remaining guards. Yue Zeng Province revealed Yang Guang's arrangement at this time.

"General Zhang? Which General Zhang? After hearing this, Yuming was stunned for a moment, and then asked with interest. He also knew that before he went back, the imperial court would definitely send someone to replace him. After all, if you want to attack Goryeo again in the future, a fortified city like Liaodong City still can't be lost.
