Nine years of great cause, mid-June.

"As a pillar country, my family has a lot of money, and as for wealth and wealth, I don't want anything. Today, he doesn't care about destroying his family and clan, but he solves the urgent need for the world and saves Li Yuan's life! ”

Yang Xuangan swore to the sky and bought a cow wine feast, and everyone was happy.

So he falsely claimed that the governor of Dadu had come to protect the rebellion, and he needed to gather soldiers and horses to enter Liyang City. Distributed corn and armor, selected Ding Zhuang, and won 8,000 people, who swore to the heavens, and raised troops against Sui in the name of crusading against Laihu'er.

Li Mi offered three strategies:

The best strategy was to attack Zhuojun (present-day Beijing) and choke Yuguan (present-day Shanhaiguan), so that the Sui army was scattered outside the pass;

The middle strategy is to directly take Daxing, occupy Guanzhong and confront the faint king, and become a situation of contention between the east and the west.

The next strategy is to attack Luoyang, the center will blossom, and the families of the captured officials will be dispersed.

Everyone said that it was too dangerous to fight Youzhou, too far to enter the customs, and it was the most realistic to attack Luoyang, so they asked for battle.

After Yang Xuangan heard this, he laughed and said: "These three strategies, it is clear that the next policy is the best policy, and now our family members are in Luoyang, only by laying down the eastern capital and having it according to it, can we command the world enough." At that time, there will be the eastern capital city in hand, and then it can be attacked and defended. ”

So everyone agreed.

Gao Si had sent people to Luoyang before, and the goal was to successfully bring his family out to ensure that he had no worries about the future.

Rebellion, a felony since ancient times, has always been a nine clans. Therefore, even if the eldest brother Yang Xuangan planned to raise troops, if he failed, he would not be able to escape the involvement.

Inevitably, it will be another guillotine.

Fortunately, during this period of time, his injuries have healed, and he has practiced Taoist martial arts hard, but he has his own way to break the game.

"Big brother, I suggest choosing the best strategy. You think, Xiang Yu broke the cauldron and sank the boat, fought a giant deer, broke 400,000 Qin soldiers in a war, and the princes did not dare to look up, they all knelt on the ground and walked on their knees, so they were called the overlord of Western Chu. ”

Gao Si walked up the hall, facing the full house of kings, and he pointed to the map of the territory in front of him, and said to the crowd.

"Wrecked? I've read the historical records before, but that's just a fallacy of Sima Qian. Take it straight to Youzhou? Yang Xuangan snorted and dismissed Gao Si's suggestion.

Li Mi also knew about this example, but no one used it after Xiang Yu, even if he didn't believe it in his heart, he only smiled and said, "Then attack Luoyang." ”

There are many people present.

Seeing that the strategy had been decided, Gao Si did not talk about it again.

Soon, the army gathered and set out, with a team of 8,000 to 10,000 and then more than 100,000, marching towards Luoyang.

The Yellow River is turbulent, the dragon boat is sent to the south, and the bow of the boat is all hung with the big flag of Chu characters.

After reaching the other side, the front army has been dispatched.

A Yuejia swordsman galloped back from the front, and in a blink of an eye, he came to Gao Si, and said respectfully: "My lord, the prince has an order, and all the dragon boats will be burned to prevent retreat." ”

Gao Si nodded at him, turned his face and ordered: "Yu Shinan, Li Baiyao, the people have been crossed, and the order is to be scuttled and burned." ”

"The order has arrived, go back and restore your life." Gao Si felt that the dragon boat was also built with good materials, so he wanted to secretly save some of it, but he didn't want to be known by his uncle Yang Xuangan.

"In that case, the last general will take his leave." The Yue armor swordsman saluted Gao Si, but the person did not leave.

Although Gao Si is the son-in-law of the Yang family, he is not a close confidant of Yang Xuangan, the Duke of Chu, and the person's state is clearly distrustful, as if he is sneering silently: "Look, this is a wolf cub who can't be raised." ”

After thinking about it for a while, Gao Si took out the seven-star sword first, tuk tuk tuk, and slashed on the nearest dragon boat in succession, and then took the torch handed over by his entourage, and ignited the dragon boat with a bang.

Li Baiyao followed, and the commander chiseled or set fire to dozens of exquisite and gorgeous dragon boats, and hundreds of large ships sank immediately.

"Drive!" The whip whistled, and the soldier rode away.

"Brother Gao, this last dragon boat was secretly left." Jia Yuandu came out of nowhere and said with a grin.

"Peng Stone!" Gao Si shouted.

"The last general!" Peng Shishi squeezed forward from behind, looking excited.

"You and Yuan Du will take a team of people to escort Mr. Yu back to his hometown in Jiangnan." Gao Si suddenly ordered, and then clasped his fists at Yu Shinan and saluted: "Brother Yu, this is the only thing that the junior brother can do at the moment, please!" ”

From Bianliang on Youzhou Road, along the way, Yu Shinan was silent, looking at the scenery from the boat, full of depression.

Along the way, the fertile fields are barren, the people are homeless, and the desolate scenery is still haunting my mind. Since the great cause has been in its prime, the people's grievances themselves have accumulated to the peak. Yu Shinan was worried in the dark center, and only hoped that the Holy Son of Heaven would pacify Liaodong as soon as possible and rest with the people.

Gao Si also said before that if you want to conquer the barbarians of Goryeo in Liaodong, you must open the border for ten years, exhaust the enemy for ten years, and counterattack for ten years to be effective.

The Central Plains was divided for hundreds of years, and how many living beings died in the war, and finally Yang Kaihuang descended from heaven to end the split, so that the people finally had a peaceful life for decades, and now the prosperity has come to naught.

Yu Shinan is a smart person, so he naturally knows that Gao Si gave him a boat to let him return, which is to save his intentions. The friendship of a gentleman does not involve personal ambitions.

Now, Yang Xuangan's rebellion will inevitably lead to a defeat in the second expedition to Liao!

So, under such a personal friendship and the conflict between his family and country, after thinking about it for a while, Yu Shinan made a decision.

"Chongde, do you know that I will never return to Jiangzuo's hometown when I leave on this trip. A certain will inevitably fly to the Son of Heaven, report Yang Xuan's rebellion, and urge the army to return to the division to quell the rebellion! Yu Shinan stared at him and said loudly.

After many days of contact, Gao Si knew that although Yu Shinan was a scribe, he was no less fierce than a military general, and he had expected his behavior as early as possible.

Hearing this, Gao Sichang smiled and said, "Therefore, I specially selected two young generals for my brother to be guards." Then he pushed Jia Yuandu and Peng Shi up.

This kind of calm and generous, and long-term vision style is really incomparable to those ordinary children, and the demeanor of a general is gradually prepared.

has friends like this, Yu Shinan can't help but sigh that Gao Si has a bumpy fate, and thinks that they may meet each other on the battlefield in the future, and he can't help but feel a little gloomy in his heart.

"Take care, I don't want to see the name of the beheaded thief in the Imperial Court's Lubujie report." Forced to suppress his personal feelings, Yu Shinan hugged his fists before leaving.

Gao Si held the seven-star sword in his hand, horizontal in front of his chest, and said loudly: "I rely on the three-foot sword to determine thousands of miles of rivers and mountains!" ”

A quarter of an hour later, Yu Shinan, surrounded by Peng Shi and Jia Yuandu, left with the sailors of the ship, went north along the canal, and went straight to Liaodong, reporting that Yang Xuangan, the prince of Chu, the son of heaven, had raised troops to make a disturbance in the army.

Gao Si took 3,000 men and horses from the rear camp and more than 300 generals and their families to protect them, each riding in a carriage, and slowly rushed to the front army.

The first city to arrive was Hakuba Prefecture.

In sight, it was a dead body, and under the body of the deceased was a large river of blood, and in the distance, it was close to the ruins of the county seat. At this time, it was already the middle of June, and under the scorching sun, some corpses in the moat began to smell.

"Bang-" At the head of the city, a naked girl jumped down, bursting like a watermelon, and the next moment a piece of land was dyed red, although it was far away, but it could also feel the unwilling humiliation and sadness.

Gao Si stared at all this in front of him with wide eyes, his heart couldn't be calm, he turned his face, and he said to Wei Chigong: "Jingde, bring the available men and horses into the city, disturb military discipline, kill." ”

"What a bunch of inhuman brutes." Gao Si was silent for a moment, and scolded angrily.

"Yes!" Wei Chigong flew out of the battle, led a team of 100 people and rushed forward.

It can be seen that he was also shocked by the sight in front of him, after all, this scene is too miserable, and he looks like he is slaughtering the city.

Bang! The heavy iron whip smashed a chaotic head, and two cries rang out from the city. However, one was screaming, while the other was full of cheers.

Wei Chigong withdrew the steel whip and let the blood splash on his face. However, he was not fearless. He rode into the city, and the bright light armor made a crisp sound on his body.

Three soldiers of the plundering rebels rushed up with swords and wooden shields to intercept them. Although they were still vicious and violent a moment ago, they were very imposing. But how is Wei Chigong's opponent? I saw the thunder whip swing up, with the momentum of thunder, swinging by. With the sound of smashing heads, three of the rebel soldiers fell to the ground and died.

At this time, another group of rebels found that there was an enemy attack, and they also rushed in with a roar. Wei Chigong killed two more rebels who dared to rush over to commit murder. At this time, among the 100 people who followed into the city, one by one followed the main general forward, shouting along the road: "The general has an order, kill the raiders!" ”

The war will make the soldiers become violent, but most people still tremble when they hear this, and as Wei Chigong fights all over the city, Baima County finally calms down.

Gao Si entered the city, and from the immediate scene, there was no scene of welcome in the middle of the road, but it was a different appearance, only to see dozens of surviving people, kneeling on both sides of the street, and it seemed that all of them were soft lambs......

There are subordinates leading horses, and Gao Si walks slowly, heading in the direction of the county government.

On the way into the city, everything he saw and heard was difficult for him to accept.

"Slaughter the city!" This turned out to be an order from the eldest brother Yang Xuangan, and the initiator of the suggestion was Li Mi.

It was only at this time that he finally understood in his heart where the differences between himself and the other party were. Just imagine, a commander who uses the slaughter of the city to intimidate others when he encounters resistance, even if he has courage, will make people afraid in the short term, but in the long run, it will only attract more resistance.

Personally followed Liuzhuang suddenly came to report: "General, let's go." Chu Guogong left Yang Minxing to answer, and Yang Lang will be waiting for you. ”

"Gao Chongde, what are you doing? Not to mention the sluggishness of the march, he also connived at the murder of the black guy under his command! "Yang Minxing was furious when he first met.

Rao was shocked when he entered the city before, and when he saw the chief general of the slaughtering city rebel army at this time, Gao Si couldn't help but feel indignant.

"Boom!" Gao Si kicked the other party down, stepped forward and stepped on it, looking at the other party coldly: "The city you slaughtered?" Daring! The seven-star sword on his waist pointed obliquely, and the killing intent skyrocketed.

"No!" One person hurriedly stopped it, and regarded it as Han Shi'e.

Seeing this, Gao Si became more and more angry in his heart, and when he saw that Han Shi'e also came to stop him, he sneered and said: "I didn't expect Brother Han to stop me too, whether it is life or death, tell me a reason." Otherwise, both of you will have to die! ”

Hearing this, Han Shi'e couldn't help but let out a sigh: "Brother Chongde, you are a woman's kindness." For the way of generals, the first is that the heart is like iron stone, we raise troops against the Sui, the first thing is to train a group of people who dare to fight. Besides, if you don't slaughter the city and reward the soldiers, how can you boost the morale of the army? ”

"This is the case with all the cities that have been conquered, and you will get used to seeing more than you see." Seeing that Gao Si's face was relieved, Han Shi'e had time to save Yang Minxing.

At the same time, another person from outside came in and whispered a few words beside Gao Si, and Gao Si's face suddenly changed slightly.

"From now on, the whole battalion will obey my orders!" Gao Si returned the sword into the sheath, sat on the top position, and couldn't help but suppress Yang Minxing and Han Shi'e.

Coincidentally, Yang Minxing was originally angry, and he was shrouded in Gao Si's killing intent, and he was scared into a cold sweat. Looking at Gao Si arranging the affairs of the camp, he was as orderly as flowing water, and his appearance gradually resembled his father Yang Su, and he couldn't help but soften.

"Yes." Yang Minxing couldn't help but step forward to salute and meet this brother-in-law.
