Chapter 128: The World Will Be in Chaos (1)
My own business is not an outsider in this virtual world, and the doubts I had when I first came to this world have gradually become clear in the chaos of the situation.
In the imagination, the operation of the Sui Empire is like a huge wheel, inch by inch rolling the people of the world forward, in this process, no one has the strength to stop this giant wheel, before Wang Bo's uprising in Changbai Mountain is just a mantis arm as a car, before the climate has not formed was run over, rolled into powder. I initially thought that Yang Xuangan's rebellion would be the same, and when I talked about it with Wang Jue in the Yin of the Mountains before, it was the same, Yang Xuangan's heart was too small, and it was not enough to become a big thing. I don't know why, it feels obvious, Yang Xuangan may fail, but the rebellion will not stop, and my intuition tells me that the end of the Sui Empire is coming.
Yang Xuangan's plan was very clear, he first announced that the general who commanded the naval army would come to protect the rebellion, send documents to the neighboring states and counties, and respond to the more than 10,000 people who came, and Yang Xuangan began his road of seeking the country with more than 10,000 people.
Because Yang Xuangan usually is a corporal of Lixian, and he also likes to pretend to make friends with talents, there is one person, Li Mi, who also has a premonition that the world will be chaotic, so he rushed from Chang'an to Yang Xuangan's tent to act as a military advisor and give advice to Yang Xuangan.
It's a pity that Yang Xuangan didn't listen to any of his suggestions, because according to the news that came his self-righteous idea was to occupy Luoyang, control the families of the officials in the DPRK and China, and then spread the word to force them to submit.
However, since Luoyang is known as the eastern capital, it is equivalent to a small imperial court, before Yang Guang went to Liaodong, the king of Yue, Yang Tong stayed in the eastern capital, and Fan Zigai, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was the main matter, although the defenders of Luoyang were weak and not enough to deal with Yang Xuangan's troops, but it was more than enough to resist for a period of time.
In fact, Yang Xuangan divided his troops into two routes, marched from north to south respectively, and quickly killed under Luoyang City, and stationed at Shangchun Gate in the east of Luoyang City, preparing to attack the city.
A hundred-legged insect that dies but does not stiffen.
Although the resistance army sent by Fan Zigai was defeated and retreated, it at least delayed Yang Xuangan's schedule to advance into Luoyang. At this time, Yang Yu, the acting king who stayed in Daxing City, also sent Wei Xuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, to lead 70,000 troops to rescue Luoyang.
In the eyes of the imperial army, Yang Xuangan's tens of thousands of people were not worth mentioning at all, and Wei Xuan's reinforcements also had the same mentality when they rushed to Luoyang from Tongguan.
Yang Xuan felt that it was not enough to become a big thing, but he was clever, and he took advantage of this point of the Sui army to kill Wei Xuan's front army with a trick of defeat. Wei Xuan had to temporarily avoid the edge and garrison outside the city.
In this way, the inside and outside of Luoyang City happened to form a pincer attack on Yang Xuangan. Yang Xuangan had no choice, only to capture Luoyang as soon as possible to gain a foothold, but Fan Zigai was stationed in the city, and he struggled with his weak troops, and the rebels did not have the equipment to attack the city, so they could not attack Luoyang City at all.
Yang Xuangan was a month late in the news of the rebellion in Liyang to Liaodong Yang Guang, Yang Guang was bent on conquering Liaodong, did not bother in the rear at all, and now the backyard was on fire, he had to withdraw his troops in a hurry, and the Second Eastern Crusade ended in failure.
Although the army of the expedition to Liaodong did not achieve victory in the confrontation with Goguryeo, the bravery of the troops was not to be underestimated, and the generals Yu Wenshu and Qu Tutong each led reinforcements south, and all the troops retreated, and as soon as the reinforcements arrived, Yang Xuangan was undoubtedly defeated.
Yang Xuan felt that with the danger of the Yellow River, Qu Tutong would block Qu Tutong in Hebei and prevent him from crossing south, but his strategy could not be realized, because the rear was restrained by the forces from the city.
Qu Tutong's army still crossed the Yellow River, and Yang Xuangan hurriedly retreated north and turned to attack Chang'an, that is, Daxingcheng.
Luoyang City was already in danger when Yang Xuangan besieged the city, many of the residents in the city fled, and Ding Yuer also closed the teahouse and came to Daxing City.
Under such chaos, the people in the capital still do whatever they should do, and the business of Zui Hongjian has become better.
Few people living in the capital know about the people's suffering, and I am the same.
Not long after Yuwen Zhiji's incident passed, another gust of wind spread in the streets. It is said that the Son of Heaven is immoral, and the virtuous should replace him. This virtuous person is Yang Jin, the king of Qi.
To tell the truth, since the death of Yang Zhao, the prince of Yuande, Yang Guang has never set up a prince, if you come in order, the person who will inherit the unification in the future should be Yang Yong, who is ranked second. But after so many years, Yang Zhao's sons have grown up, and Yang Guang has no intention of letting Yang Yin be the heir.
The last time the plan on the bank of Zhangshui, Yang Jun's matter was revealed, although he pulled a mess of reasons to shirk it, Yang Guang did not worry too much about Yang Jun because of the pain of losing his son not long ago, but Yang Guang's ambition has always been aware of it.
This time it coincided with Yang Xuangan's rebellion, which was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. I knew that this matter would inevitably reach Yang Guang's ears in the end.
I sat in the hall of the teahouse and listened to the people around me discussing current affairs, but in fact, speech was still free at this time. People did not dare to say it blatantly, but the whispers continued.
When Yang Guang returned to the capital, Yang Xuangan's rebellion had been put down, and my former superior, Yang Yichen, intercepted Yang Xuangan on the road from Daxing to Luoyang.
Of course, this is the official circulating claim. In fact, according to the people who came to drink tea, Yang Xuangan was killed with blood splattered three feet, and there were dozens of sword wounds on his body.
Except for Yang Xuangan, several of his younger brothers failed to escape, and they were all captured by officers and soldiers with scars. I thought about it, and I already understood a little in my heart, and knew that this matter was very likely to be related to Qiu Budu.
Yang Guang was of course very wary of the rumors about "King Qi replacing him", but he did not fully believe it.
The layout of the Yan Wang's Mansion is much simpler than that of the Qi Wangfu, and the Yan King Yang Qi is still a child, sitting in the study and writing. He has the legacy of Prince Yuande, he is very sensible at a young age, and he is gentle and polite, Yang Guang and Empress Xiao like this grandson the most.
He wrote very seriously, and when I looked at him, I unconsciously remembered myself when I was eight or nine years old, thinking that I was much luckier than him, at least when I was his age, no one would think about what to do to me, let alone what to do with me.
I thought about it, moved my footsteps hard, and kicked down a flower pot.
Yang Qi in the room was startled suddenly, but then calmed down and walked out of the study in a hurry. Behind him, there was the footsteps of the guards in the house, neat and orderly, not chaotic at all.
I didn't wait for Yang Qi to make a move, so I kicked the door open and rushed in.
Yang Qi's eyes were a little flustered, but he still said: "Who dares to ......?"
Before he could finish his sentence, I slashed at him.
