Chapter 422: Righteous armies are everywhere

"Changbai Mountain's former Zhishilang, pure red Luo brocade crotch. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info long invades the sky and a half, and the wheel knife shines in the sun. Go up the mountain to eat roe deer, and go down the mountain to eat cattle and sheep. Suddenly, when he heard the arrival of the official army, he raised his knife and swung forward. For example, if Liaodong dies, what is the injury caused by beheading! ”

This "Song of the Death of the Waves of Liaodong Wave" is written by Wang Bo, a native of Zouping, Qi County, in the seventh year of the great cause, due to the heavy labor in Shandong, there was a famine everywhere, which made the people of Qilu miserable, Wang Bo and Meng Rang, a native of the same county, gathered fugitive peasants in Changbai Mountain between Zouping and Zhangqiu, and raised the banner of righteousness against Sui.

In the following year, Yang Guang conscripted millions of troops to fight against Goguryeo, and Wang Bo took the opportunity to write this poem, calling the masses to refuse to go to Goguryeo and not to die in Liaodong. In just over a year, the ranks of the rebels have grown to tens of thousands, making them one of the largest rebels at present.

Driven by the uprising in Qilu Changbai Mountain, the rebel armies in various places also sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, one after another, taking advantage of the imperial court to mobilize a large number of military forces to expedition to Liaodong, when there was no time to look inward, they developed and expanded, killed the surrounding counties, opened warehouses and released grain, gathered the people, distributed weapons, and instantly pulled up the armed team.

Now it is the seventh day of the ninth year of the great cause, the development of the righteous army is in full swing, and gradually there is a spark of the prairie momentum, the largest ones are Hebei Gaojibo Dou Jiande, Sun Anzu, Wagang Mountain Zhai Rang, Liyang Du Fuwei, Fugong Tuo, Juxian Zhang Jincheng, Bohai Gao Shida, Yuhang Liu Yuanjin and other dozens of people, mainly concentrated in Hebei, Shandong, Jianghuai area.

The leaders of these rebel teams are often strong and strong, with a green forest background, brave and chivalrous, not the lord of peace, and are squeezed by the government to a certain extent, so naturally the officials force the people to rebel and dare to take the lead in doing big things.

When Yang Xuangan raised his army, he sent people to send letters to these rebel teams, asking for mutual cooperation and response to his rebellion against the imperial court, but these so-called rebel leaders reacted mediocrely, and the reasons were more complicated.

First of all, there is a huge gap between the background and the family, these leaders of the rebel army are all from poor families, most of them are bandit leaders, although there are also people who have served as small officials in the local area, but the level is very low, and there is no sense of subordination and loyalty to the court, but with the nature of the underworld green forest, Yang Xuangan, the court official with the identity of the pillar country, itself is a little resistant, and feels that the court nobles are all a hill, and do not actively wish him.

Secondly, these leaders of the rebel army can't trust Yang Xuangan, and no one knows the truth or falsehood of your rebellion against Sui, and they are all worried that if he succeeds, he will turn around and clean up these rebel teams, so he doesn't want to get involved, so they don't want to get involved and let them fight between the gate forces and the royal family, and their interests and positions are different from Yang Xuangan's.

Third, the leaders of the rebel army have the mentality of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, hoping that the imperial army and these aristocratic armies can fight fiercely, lose both, and the gate valve collapses, so that they, the heroes from poor backgrounds, have the opportunity to do great things. In addition, there is also a wait-and-see attitude in it, all of them see that the army of the Great Sui Imperial Court is strong and strong, and the righteous army does not dare to come out to meet the enemy, and they are all hiding in the mountains to fight guerrillas, so they are all paying attention to Yang Xuangan's army, how long can it be supported under the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court, and no one dares to jump out first and be the first bird.

These complex psychology made these leaders look at Yang Xuan's army and defeat indifferently, and missed a great opportunity to join forces. When Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty returned to Luoyang, he accepted the proposal of the ministers and began the first deployment of domestic encirclement and suppression of bandits.

Zhang Xutuo, who is close to fifty years old, was originally the county of Qi County, and had followed Shi Wansui and Yang Su to fight the Turks, and pacified the rebellion of the Han Dynasty, and was a brave general.

But this time, he finally got an opportunity to lead the three armies as the commander, suppress bandits in various places, serve the country, and can display his military capabilities.

Zhang Xutuo has a very high martial arts, a strong personality, brave and strategic, with more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, from Luoyang back to Qi County.

This time, as the division of King Qin, he temporarily recruited soldiers and strong men in Qi County, and went to Luoyang to relieve the trap of the Eastern Capital, but it was a little later, Yang Xuangan had withdrawn from Luoyang, and in the Hongnong area, he was besieged and killed by Yang Yichen, Qu Tutong, Chen Qi, etc., although he defeated some rebels who gathered along the way, and collected many escaped thieves, but the military merit was certainly not as great as the generals who surrounded and suppressed Yang Xuangan.

Now Zhang Xutuo has received Yang Guang's order and handwritten order, and he has been appointed as a solicitor in Shandong, and he can form an army of less than 100,000 in Qi County to suppress the rebellion and bandits in Hebei and Shandong, mainly against Wang Bo, Meng Rang, Hao Xiaode and others.

When Zhang Xutuofu arrived in Qi County, he immediately opened a warehouse and released Liang, prepared military salaries, refined weapons and battle armor, recruited local strong men to join the army, and defended the peace near Qi County.

This recruitment, within a radius of 100 miles, is eager for able-bodied strong men, because once they join the local army, not only can they not have to go on an expedition to Liaodong, or be transferred to other labor, but they can also be exempted from the heavy taxes at home, their own food and clothing, and a little military salary, which is naturally cost-effective. Besides, most of the armies that rebelled in various places occupied the mountains as kings, robbed houses, seized by force, and harmed one side, and were not any rebellious troops, but they were all real benevolent and righteous armies, which could be called righteous teachers.

Zhishilang Wang Bo, after learning the news, his face changed greatly, and he immediately allied with Meng Rang to prepare to resist Zhang Xutuo's encirclement and suppression soon after.

In addition to Zhang Xutuo, Yang Yichen in the court was sent to Fufeng and Stability, because there was a demon thief Xiang Haigong, gathered a crowd to make trouble, plundered one side, and went to suppress it. Li Yuan was transferred to Honghua County, and Wang Rengong was transferred to Mayi, both of which were to guard the local area and be responsible for recruiting nearby thieves.

On this day, Shen Guang returned to the village and had completed the task of delivering letters given to him by Luo Zhaoyun.

"Brother Shen, I heard that the codex and sword spectrum of the last sword saint in the Ghost Valley fell into the hands of Xiahou Ming, he is currently fleeing in Taihang Mountain, and many ranger swordsmen are going, if they want to win the sword spectrum, I have been lacking a complete breathing method, I want to try my luck, can you go with me?" Luo Zhaoyun said straight to the point, and did not shy away from Qingshuang's side.

Shen Guang pondered for a while, his eyes flickered, and finally said: "You can go and fight, I am also very interested in the sword spectrum of the Guigu faction, I heard my father-in-law once said that the Guigu faction during the Warring States Period was very powerful, not only out of Zhang Yi Su Qin, Pang Juan Sun Bin and other vertical and horizontal families, the art of war, stirring the storm of the Seven Kingdoms, vertical and horizontal, the martial arts of the Guigu faction is also very powerful, Guiguzi once watched the ape in the mountains work and rest, created the back boxing method, and the top breathing technique, the sword spectrum is named the Hundred Steps Flying Sword, which is quite powerful, if you can observe it, you can cultivate your own martial arts, There are definitely great benefits! ”

"Hmph, the hundred-step flying sword, it's just a rumor, don't be unrealistic." Qingshuang hummed softly.

Luo Zhaoyun didn't think so, he just wanted to get the complete breathing method of the Guigu faction, break through to the next level, with the innate Gang Qi, not only improve the force, but also prolong life, resist wind and cold and disease, when fighting for dominance in the world, not only has there been a trace of security, cold arrows, poisonous wine plots, etc., can be resisted, without fear of being assassinated, it is the real freedom, otherwise, you have to protect hundreds of places in and out of the place, and you don't dare to go out and show up at will, it's too aggrieved.

In addition, he also had an idea, he finally traveled back to ancient times, and learned that there was the power of the rivers and lakes, and he really wanted to see it with his own eyes, are these so-called ancient martial arts sects the martial arts sects in film and television dramas? Is there a martial arts alliance leader, what are the rivers and lakes like? This is something that Luo Zhaoyun is very interested in.
