Chapter 146: Wang Shichong (I)

At the head of Hanjiacang City, Wang Shichong stood on the city tower, wearing a robe and a crown of purple and gold hair, the breeze blew his curly hair, and also blew up a few wrinkles on his face, revealing his tall nose bridge and angular face, at this time, his deep turquoise eyes were focused on the endless camp of the Wei army in the distance, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Wang Shichong, full of words, originally surnamed Zhi, is one of the nine surnames of Zhaowu, and has the blood of the Hu people in the Western Regions. Wang Shichong's grandfather Zhi Yuanyun was originally a wealthy merchant in the Western Regions but died young, and his grandmother then took his father's income to remarry to the Bacheng Wang family, and his father also changed his surname to Wang, which is the origin of Wang Shichong's surname.

Wang Shichong has been smart and studious since he was a child, and has been extensively involved in scripture and history, especially the art of war, fortune telling, and astronomical calendar calculations.

During the Kaihuang period, Wang Shichong participated in the battle of Sui to destroy Nanchen, after the war, he was awarded the false position of Yitong three divisions according to his military merits, and soon filled the vacancy as a member of the military department, during this period, Wang Shichong systematically learned the military and the art of war, and laid a solid foundation for the future campaign.

Wang Shichong is good at making presentations to the imperial court, and is familiar with various laws and regulations, but often uses legal provisions to cheat for personal gain and do whatever he wants. Sometimes, when someone rebukes him, he will use clever sophistry and exaggeration, and his words will be so fierce that no one can make him admit his mistake, even though people know that he is not right.

During the Great Cause period, Wang Shichong was promoted to Jiangdu Cheng and concurrently served as the palace supervisor of Jiangdu. At that time, Emperor Yang inspected Jiangdu many times, Wang Shichong was good at observing Emperor Yang's face, flattering and obeying Emperor Yang of Sui's wishes, and once followed Emperor Yang's wishes to impeach Zhang Heng, the imperial historian, so that Zhang Heng died unjustly. During his tenure as Jiangdu Cheng, Wang Shichong repeatedly looted the people's fat and ointment, made jade carvings and landscape paintings, and falsely claimed to be precious handicrafts from afar and dedicated them to Emperor Yang of Sui in order to compete for favor.

Wang Shichong has a very good way of buying people's hearts, he is good at befriending corporals, likes heroes and heroes, he widely buys people's hearts, and those who commit crimes and go to prison are released by distorting the law, so as to show his personal favor.

In June of the ninth year of the Great Cause, Emperor Yang of Sui made the second expedition to Goguryeo, and Yang Xuangan, the son of Yang Su, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the Duke of Chu, took advantage of Emperor Yang's personal expedition to Goguryeo, and suddenly rebelled in Liyang and attacked the eastern capital Luoyang. At that time, many people from all over the country raised troops under the banner of responding to Yang Xuangan, and there were three rebel armies near Jiangdu: Liu Yuanjin of Yuhang, Zhu Xie of Kunshan, and Guan Chong of Changshu. Later, these three teams joined forces and promoted Liu Yuanjin as the main one, occupied Wu County, called the Son of Heaven, and established a hundred officials.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty once sent the generals Tu Wanxu and Yujuluo to suppress it, both of whom were veterans of a hundred battles, and by the end of the year, the Sui soldiers basically achieved victory, killed Guan Chong, and besieged Liu Yuanjin and Zhu Xie in Jian'an. Due to the continuous battle, the soldiers were tired, and the two generals asked for a temporary truce for a period of time, but they were suspicious of Emperor Yang of Sui, and signaled the relevant departments to investigate the evidence of the two crimes. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was furious, and immediately dismissed Tu Wanxu as a citizen, and Yu Juluo beheaded the public.

Subsequently, Emperor Yang of Sui appointed Wang Shichong to command the attack on Liu Yuanjin, and recruited tens of thousands of recruits in the Jianghuai region, called Jianghuai strong soldiers, all of which were handed over to Wang Shichong's command. These Huainan soldiers later became Wang Shichong's children's soldiers, which was the capital of his start. Wang Shichong attacked Liu Yuanjin and Zhu Xie with a fresh army, and won all the battles, Liu and Zhu were killed in battle, but there were still many remnants scattered everywhere as thieves.

Wang Shichong had a trick, found an auspicious day of the zodiac, and personally went to the Buddha statue in Tongxuan Temple to burn incense and swear, agreeing that as long as the rebels surrendered, they would live. When the rest of Liu Yuanjin heard about it, they surrendered one after another, and in less than a month, Wang Shichong pacified Wu County. Unexpectedly, Wang Shichong was treacherous, and after the overall situation was decided, Wang Shichong killed all the more than 30,000 people who surrendered. He even cut off the head of the Buddha in public to show his contempt for Buddhism.

In the tenth year of the Great Cause, Meng Rang, the commander of the rebel army of Qi County, set out from Changbai Mountain in Shandong Province to invade various prefectures and counties, and reached Xuyi, where it grew to more than 100,000 horses. Wang Shichong led the troops to resist, taking Duliang Mountain as a stronghold, setting up five barracks, the enemy and us were relative to each other without fighting, and also threatened to retreat, and the troops showed that they were tired and had no combat effectiveness. Meng Rang said with a sneer: "Wang Shichong is a petty official who only understands the provisions of the law, how can he lead troops to fight?" I will capture him alive and fight him until I go to Jiangdu. ”

At this time, the local people all lived in the army barracks, there was nothing to grab everywhere, and the rebels slowly ran out of food, and they were troubled by the barracks blocking the road, and they could not march to the south, so they divided their troops to surround Wang Shichong's five barracks. Wang Shichong sent troops to fight every day, pretending to be defeated on the surface, and ran back to the camp gate. After doing this for several days, Meng Rang looked down on him even more, so he slowly sent men and horses to the south to search for property, leaving only enough troops to surround the camp fence. Wang Shichong knew that the enemy had relaxed his vigilance, so he filled in the stove pit in the barracks, removed the tents, set up a phalanx, faced outward on all sides, pulled out the fence and attacked, fought hard, and defeated the enemy, Meng Rang quietly fled with dozens of people, killing more than 10,000 people and capturing more than 100,000 people.

Emperor Yang thought that Wang Shichong had the talent and strategy of a general, and sent him to lead his troops to crusade against various small groups of rebels, and all the places he went were wiped out.

In the eleventh year of the Great Cause, the Eastern Turkic Shibi Khan mobilized more than 400,000 Turkic wolves to ride in Yanmen to besiege Emperor Yang of Sui. After Wang Shichong heard about it, he led all the people of Jiangdu to Yanmen to prepare to save the country. On the way, Wang Shichong was unkempt in the team, crying so much that he lost his normality, did not take off his armor day and night, and lay on the grass to sleep. When Emperor Yang heard this, he thought that he was loyal and commendable, and trusted him even more.

In the twelfth year of the Great Cause, Wang Shichong made a bronze screen to Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and won the favor of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, and was immediately promoted to the head of the Jiangdu. It's ridiculous, Wang Shichong's resume and military exploits are not promoted, but he gave gifts out of the way.

At that time, he was an old thief in Changbai Mountain, who had been a bandit for many years, and took more than 100,000 people to operate in the area of Douzikang, and was killed by Yang Yichen, the servant of the Emperor, and then, Wang Shichong led the troops to attack the remnants of Geqian's team and annihilated them.

In the thirteenth year of the great cause, the giant Kou Lu Mingyue turned to plunder Henan, as for Huaibei, with 400,000 people, the momentum was extremely huge, and he called himself "the supreme king." "Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ordered Wang Shichong to lead his troops to conquest, and fought with him in Nanyang, broke it, cut the bright moon, and the rest were scattered. When the class teacher returned to Jiangdu, Emperor Yang was very happy and personally raised a glass to reward him.
