May.

There is a plum wind.

This is the rainy season, and it is also the time when the trade winds, which can be used by seafaring, appear. Luo Cheng's soldiers and horses crossed the Miaodao Islands, passed through the Bohai Strait, and returned to Donglai.

The ships entered the port, and the soldiers were divided into two routes.

One route was personally led by him, and the army of 30,000 left Donglai and marched towards Bohai Qi County. On the other hand, thousands of light horsemen led by Cun Xiao marched westward along the Jishui and the Yellow River.

And in the north.

Xue Shixiong commanded 20,000 Xiaoguo troops as the vanguard, and rushed back to Guanzhong day and night, and Wang Rengong led 8,000 people as the vanguard, and had already passed through Linyu Pass.

Li Mi was stuck in Hejian County.

Here, Cheng Du Ruhui of Qinghe County, Cheng Yang Shanhui of Pingyuan County, as well as government soldiers and county soldiers from various counties in Hebei, all gathered in the river.

They gathered about 30,000 horses, blocked the canal, set up heavy fence camps, and blocked Li Mi's way.

The eastern capital is Luoyang.

Fan Zigai, who stayed behind in the eastern capital, once again recruited a force of 20,000 soldiers and horses and rushed to the Tiger Pass.

In Daxing, Xijing, Wei Wensheng, the left-behind guard in Xijing and the secretary of the Criminal Department, also recruited 40,000 soldiers and horses and rushed to the Tiger Prison urgently.

Passing through Huayin County, Wei Wensheng ordered the march to be stopped.

Yang Xuangan's father Yang Su was buried in Huayin after his death, Wei Wensheng led the troops to dig up Yang Su's grave, and dug up the bones of Yang Su who had been buried for several years.

This move seems a bit ridiculous.

But Wei Wensheng is breaking the cauldron and telling his subordinates that now we have crushed Yang Xuangan's bones and scattered ashes, and bulldozed the graves of the ancestors of the Yang family, so don't think about other small abacus.

Don't think about the two ends of the first mouse, don't think about being like Wei Fusi and others, who can't work hard, and all kinds of riding on the wall and swaying. You have all dug up the ancestral grave of the old Yang family, and you have all contributed to Yang Su's broken bones and ashes, so don't think about going to Yang Xuangan in the future.

After beating Lao Yang's bones and scattering ashes, Wei Wensheng also engaged in a pre-army mobilization.

He set up an altar to worship the first emperor.

"The Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, the History of Jingzhao Nei, and the Eastern Capital stayed behind to guard Wensheng, and took the liberty of announcing to the gods of Emperor Gaozuwen: Since the royal family inherited the mandate of heaven, it has been more than 30 years now, and martial arts and virtues have gradually influenced overseas. Yang Xuangan lived up to the grace of the saint, made himself a pig and a dog, gathered bees and flying ants, and committed my royal teacher. ”

"Your Majesty and I have been blessed for two generations, serving the country wholeheartedly, leading the people of Xiong Zhen, and aiming to exterminate the rebel party. If the society lasts for a long time, Yang Xuan should be allowed to feel that these ugly creatures are broken like ice cubes, and if the general trend of the Sui Dynasty has gone, please let the old minister die first! ”

Wei Wensheng's set of works was good, and the soldiers from Xijing all sobbed.

Hu Benlang suggested that Zhang Jun should go out of Tongguan and not rush to Luoyang Tiger Prison, but go southeast, pass through Xiangcheng to Yingchuan, and go around to the south of the rebels to flank the rebels with the officers and soldiers of Tiger Prison Pass.

Wei Wensheng felt that it was very reasonable, so he led an army of 40,000 troops, passed through Hongnong and Xiangcheng, went straight to Yingchuan, and rushed to Xuchang. When passing through Hongnong County, Hongnong guarded Yang Zhiji and summoned 10,000 soldiers and horses to accompany him. Yang Zhiji is also a member of the Sui Dynasty clan, and he is very attentive to exterminating the rebel party.

Xingyang.

Yang Xuanting fell from the ladder and was snatched by the soldiers, but he was already dead.

They sent Yang Xuanting's body to Yang Xuangan.

Yang Xuangan didn't expect that the brother died first.

The rebels, who were already unable to attack, fell to the bottom of the momentum.

Li Zitong didn't expect this result, he originally wanted to use Yang Xuanting to boost morale, but it turned out to be a big drop in morale, and he also folded a fierce general.

"Overlord, now that morale is low, and troops from all walks of life are coming, I think the top priority is to revitalize morale. I suggest that the overlord be called the emperor and build the dynasty, divide the hundred officials, and reward the soldiers, which can also greatly improve morale. ”

Yang Xuan was a little hesitant after hearing this.

He wanted to ask Li Mi, but Li Mi was in Hebei and wanted to ask his brothers, but the second brother had just died, and the rest of the brothers were divided into four places.

In the end, Yang Xuangan was still a little moved.

"It's okay, then the founding of the country is called Dachu, the year is called Jianwu, there are three provinces and six departments, nine temples, five prisons and twelve guards."

Yang Xuangan made people hurriedly prepare things to be called emperors, such as the Temple of Heaven for worship, the altar of earth for worship, etc., but now under Xingyang Pass, there is not even a city.

This is indeed too hasty to claim the title of emperor.

Yang Xuan couldn't care about this, if there was no palace capital, then build a simple wooden house for the palace.

The edict posthumously crowned his father Yang Su as the Taizu of Chu, posthumously crowned his biological mother as the queen mother, and posthumously earned Yang Xuanting as the king of Wei.

Then worship Li Mi as the left servant of Shangshu, seal Wei Guogong, worship Li Zitong as the general of the left guard, and seal Zhao Guogong.

Yang Xuangan crowned eighteen brothers as kings in one go, and more than 30 generals who followed the rebellion as national dukes, dozens of county dukes, more than 100 county dukes, and as for Hou Bozinan, there were thousands of them.

As soon as these edicts were issued, there was bad news from there.

Fan Zigai crossed the river from Luoyang to Hanoi, and then to the north of the army. Wei Wensheng came to Xuchang, Yingchuan, obviously to block their south, plus the new news, Luo Cheng had landed in Donglai and was heading west.

It's going to be surrounded on all sides.

"Zhao Guogong, how do you think I should deal with it now?"

Just announced to the world, Yang Xuangan, who claimed to be the Emperor of Chu, couldn't help but panic.

"Your Majesty, the enemy is surrounded on all sides, and I should divide my troops to resist it. As long as I can block them, then once my side breaks through Xingyang, then I can go straight to the empty Luoyang, which is a good thing. ”

Up to now, Li Zixiong can only be so dead that the pig is not afraid of boiling water.

"Please give an order to your majesty and continue to storm the Tiger Prison Pass!"

In the end, Li Zixiong suggested that the emperor summon Wei Guogong and the left servant Li Mi back.

"If Wei Guogong is ordered to lead an army to defend the Yellow River, it is better than to attack Zhuojun."

In fact, everyone knew that the plan to go north to capture Zhuojun and block Linyu Pass had failed, because Wang Rengong had already arrived at Zhuojun with 8,000 cavalry.

If you go north, it's too late.

"Okay, I'll go to Wei Guogong."

In Hejian County, Li Mi led the army to launch several attacks, but the camp gates of the official army were one after another, and there was another one behind the breakthrough, and the 50,000 horses under his command were also a rabble, although they had gathered a crowd of 100,000 when they arrived in Hejian, but the quantitative change failed to cause a qualitative change. In the face of the heavy camp strategy of the official army, Li Mi was powerless.

When he saw the envoy from Xingyang, he heard that Yang Xuangan had been proclaimed emperor, and Li Mi was shocked.

"Defeat today!"

"In the past, Chen Sheng wanted to be the king, and he admonished him; Wei Wu will ask for Jiuxi, Xun Yu stops. Since the beginning of the army, although the frequency has been repeated, as for the counties, there has been no follower; The eastern capital is still strong, the world rescues the soldiers, the Duke of Chu should stand up and fight, and he is eager to be self-respecting, how can he show that people are not wide! ”

Li Mi let out a long sigh, and his heart was like ashes.

The officials and troops surrounded them on all sides, and at this time, they didn't want to break through the siege as soon as possible, but they set up a draft team under Xingyang Pass to build the country and call the emperor, saying that they were lonely and widowed.

"Withdraw!"

Li Mi waved his hand unwillingly, "Go back to Henan!" ”
