Soldiers are fast.

Yang Xuangan once told Li Mi that he is not as good as Li Mi in terms of planning, but Li Mi is not as good as him in terms of two battles against the commander and fight, this is the truth.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, the more than 200,000 troops gathered, Yang Xuangan also went through simple selection and training, and he began to send troops.

Li Mi led an army of 50,000 to the left, went north along the canal, went to capture Zhuojun, and blocked Linyu Pass.

Wang Bodang and Wang Bo led an army of 50,000 to the right, crossed the Yellow River and went south to attack Qi County, occupy this strategic high ground in the east of Henan, and block Luo Chengxi from coming west.

Then Yang Xuangan personally led 100,000 troops to the Chinese army, and his brother Yang Xuanting was the vanguard.

The three armies of soldiers and horses each went out of Liyang.

Yang Xuangan's command, although it claims to be 100,000, is actually just a rabble, including about 3,000 government soldiers, 5,000 county soldiers, and about 10,000 incorporated anti-army, and the rest are mostly composed of Jianghuai sailors and local people who were coerced and deceived.

In addition to some equipment from the government soldiers and county soldiers, most of the other subordinates wore cloth armor made of temporary sails, and their hands were mainly spears.

Not even a few, even the spear is just a sharpened stick.

There was no bow, no armor, and most of the soldiers carried a single sword, or only a sharpened spear, and a wooden shield made of willow, or even simply a pot lid as a shield.

However, the morale of this army is good, they all think that they are not a lone army rebelling, and they feel that there are so many brothers such as Luo Cheng, Luo Yi and Zhang Xutuo who rebelled.

Besides, they are not short of food.

Liyang Cang millions of stone grain, let them take it, many people who had not eaten enough before, after eating dry food for a few days, their confidence increased greatly, and they felt that they had a very promising future with the overlord of Chu.

Before leaving, Yang Xuangan did not forget to mobilize and boost morale.

"I, Yang Xuan, feel that as a Shangzhu country, my family has a huge amount of gold, and as for the wealth, I am already a minister. But now he is raising troops regardless of the destruction of the family and the clan, which is to relieve the danger of the world and save Li Yuan's life! ”

The vast majority of the people don't understand so much, they just think that this is quite reasonable, after all, Yang Xuangan, as the Duke of Chu, is also the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and has the official rank of a product, and he is still the patriarch of the Yang clan of Hongnong, and who doesn't know the wealth of the Yang family.

The morale of the rebels is like a grandeur.

Yang Xuan sensed Liyangcang and marched all the way to the eastern capital, and the local people along the road joined one after another, and even many Haoqiang clans also responded. It's not that these powerful clans don't understand, but they have other ideas.

At that time, the Yang family's world was not given by God, and it was also taken from the Yuwen family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Yuwen family was taken from the Yuan family of the Wei Dynasty, so they know better the inside nature of this power, whoever has the biggest fist is the king.

Now that Yang Guang'er is conquering Liaodong, the heavens are angry and resentful, and Yang Xuangan, the Duke of Chu, whether it is his personal prestige, reputation, ability, or the strength and influence of their family, it is extremely good, who can say that Yang Xuangan will not be the next Yuwentai, not the next Yang Jian?

From the dragon is still very tempting, many people are not optimistic about Yang Guang, especially at this time, under all kinds of wrong news, as soon as he heard that even a god of war like Luo Cheng was reversed, then Yang Guang must be cold.

Kanto boils.

People from all over the country, just like going to the big gathering, left their work at home and ran to Yang Xuangan, anyway, they had to transport grain to the Eastern Expedition.

It costs a few stones on the road to transport a stone, which is to transport grain, this is a bankruptcy.

However, some people think that Yang Xuan can't do anything, and thinks that the world will still be a great Sui.

For example, Tang Yi, the chief bookkeeper of Hanoi County, who was awarded by Yang Xuangan as the history of Huaizhou Thorn, originally went to Liyang with the people of the county to transport grain, but he was unlucky enough to encounter Yang Xuangan's troubles, and then he was detained.

Yang Xuangan named him the assassin of Huaizhou and asked him to go back to spread the flame of revolution.

Tang Yi agreed to it in person, but as soon as he returned to Hanoi County, he immediately sent someone to Fan Zigai, who stayed in the eastern capital, to report it. At the same time, he also advised Taishou County Cheng to reorganize the army and mobilize the villagers according to the wartime mechanism.

Fan Zigai in Luoyang City over there was also shocked when he heard it, and at this time all kinds of rumors were spreading, some were brought back by businessmen, and some were rumors that Yang Xuangan deliberately sent people back to spread.

Today is Luo Cheng rebelling in Donglai, tomorrow Luo Yi is rebelling in Liaodong, and the day after tomorrow there is even news that Yuwen Shu killed the monarch and led Xiaoguo south.

All kinds of news came one after another, and people in the Eastern Capital were also panicking.

Fortunately, Tang Yi sent someone over at this time and sent more reliable news.

Eastern capital, Luoyang.

The eastern capital stayed in the mansion, and Fan Zigai had just entered the palace to see Yang Tong, the king of Yue, who was left behind, and he appeased the panicked emperor's grandson.

Back home, Fan Zigai began to study countermeasures.

Fan Zigai, who is over 60 years old this year, is an old minister, his ancestral home is Huainan, his grandfather was the Yuezhou assassin of the Southern Dynasty Liang, and his father defected to the Northern Qi Dynasty during the Hou Jing Rebellion, and later became the official to Renzhou Assassin History.

Although Fan Zigai grew up in the south of the Yangtze River, he was a young man in the Northern Qi Dynasty, he was the king of Wuxing in the Northern Qi Dynasty at the beginning of the army, and later did the county order, and then did the Dongru and North Chen two counties Taishou, until the staff scattered and rode the regular servant, and was named the Marquis of Fuyang.

After entering the Sui Dynasty, he successively served as the governor of eight prefectures and counties, including Zongyang Taishou and Chenzhou Thorn History, plus the two county Taishou who had been in the Northern Qi Dynasty, Fan Zigai had done the post of Taishou or Thorn History of Ten Places in his life, which was quite good.

At this time, he was the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and stayed in the eastern capital.

Although he has served in the local government for many years, he can be an honest official, and he also knows how to govern the army and fight, and he has made meritorious contributions to quelling chaos, so he is a feudal and marquis.

The emperor's comment on Fan Zigai was very good, so during the last expedition to the east, he deliberately let him sit in Zhuojun, and this time let him stay in Luoyang.

Yang Xuan felt that Liyang rebelled, and the people in the eastern capital were panicked, but Fan Zigai was not panicked or chaotic.

After thinking about it for a long time, Fan Zigai made the first disposition, which was to immediately praise Tang Yi and promote him to the county prince, and then let him lead the soldiers and horses of Hanoi County to block Linqing Customs.

Linqing Pass is a gateway city on the canal from Ki County to Hanoi County.

After blocking this Guancheng, Yang Xuan felt that it would be more difficult to enter Hanoi, so he could only cross the Yellow River first, and then have to pass through the Xingyang Tiger Pass to reach the eastern capital Luoyang City.

Tiger Prison Pass is more difficult than a few Hejin bridges from Hanoi to Luoyang.

He immediately issued the second order, ordering Henan to arrest the ambassador, Xingyang Taishou Zhang Xutuo, strictly guard the Xingyang Tiger Pass, and guard the east gate of Luoyang.

At the same time, he urgently reported the situation to the emperor and asked the emperor to send troops.

On the other hand, Fan Zigai did not forget to borrow troops from Chang'an, Guanzhong, and asked Wei Wensheng, who was guarding Chang'an, to lead troops to aid the eastern capital.

After doing this, Fan Zigai urgently formed two more troops and horses, preparing to drive to the front line of Xingyang in Dongjun to block Yang Xuangan.

It's just that there are not many soldiers and horses left in the eastern capital, so there are only 8,000 soldiers and horses on the two roads.

After all this was done, Fan Zigai could only wait quietly for the results.
