In mid-April of the eighth year of the Great Cause, Li Zixiong, the general of the Right Wuhou, received an edict to go to Canghai to assist Laihu'er, and Yang Xuangan's group was shocked; Li Zixiong has never led a naval army to fight, so why should he assist in protecting his son, and besides, does the first person in the Great Sui Water War need Li Zixiong's assistance to protect his son?

When Yang Hao brought Yang Chong's words, Hu Shitan, Li Mi, and Yang Xuanting didn't believe it, and they had nothing to say at the moment, and extraordinary people really did extraordinary things; Hu Shitan repented and said, "We should send someone to contact Yang Chong again in February, he will definitely be able to guess Yang Guang's next move." ”

Yang Xuangan said unhurriedly: "The second group of people who went to the Western Regions was led by Yang Qu, and if Yang Chong had something, he would definitely tell him." Bao Heng suddenly asked, "Guess what Yang Chong will do next?" ”

Bao Heng is an old man who follows Yang Su, a genius in Jiangnan, and his knowledge and experience are first-class, precisely because he has always been a domestic slave.

Yang Xuangan and others all think that Yang Chong will either stay out of the matter or obey Yang Xuangan's arrangement, only Bao Heng feels that with Yang Chong's character, he should have other plans. Li Mi was the quickest to react, nodded and said, "Yang Chong does have the ability to occupy the four counties of the Western Regions and capture the Hetao. ”

Everyone is overjoyed, if Yang Xuangan raises troops, Yang Chong will get out of this miracle, no matter what Yang Chong thinks, it has objectively caused a situation where Yang Xuangan is caught between things and Guanzhong, which is of great help to Yang Xuangan's uprising. Yang Xuanting asked, "Since Yang Chong has this plan, why don't you join forces with us directly?" ”

Yang Xuangan shook his head secretly, this younger brother is just a battlefield general; Hu Shitan explained: "Yang Chong didn't know about our arrangement, and if he proposed it, we didn't agree, which would make everyone embarrassed; Yang Chong's approach is that he does not want to be subservient, and no matter what we do, he needs more power, because he sees that no matter who wins between us and Yang Guang, the turmoil in the Great Sui will continue for a while. ”

Yang Jishan reminded: "Big brother, the second brother and the fifth brother should be recalled now, and they can't be delayed any longer." ”

Yang Su's seven sons-in-law, namely Yang Xuangan, Yang Xuanzong, Yang Xuanting, Yang Xuanxian, Yang Wanshuo, Yang Minxing, Yang Jishan, Wu Benlang will Yang Xuanzong, Ying Yanglang will Yang Wanshuo is fighting in Liaodong with the army, Yang Xuangan originally wanted to wait for someone to notify before the move, but it was verified that Yang Guang was aware, and Yang Xuangan also felt that it was good to notify early, even if it had an impact on the incident, it would be too late.

On April 27, the Sui army of the Second Eastern Crusade crossed the Liao River, and on the 29th, Zuo Yiwei's general Yu Wenshu and the general Yang Yichen led the army to Liaodong City. After the Sui army launched an offensive, it erected flying towers, crashes, and ladders under the city of Liaodong, and dug tunnels to cooperate, day and night; However, the city of Liaodong has been strengthened again, and the Sui army has attacked the city for more than 20 consecutive days, and both the attack and defense have suffered heavy casualties.

Yang Guang once again issued an edict to Yang Xuangan, who was supervising the transportation in Liyang, that the supply of front-line materials must be guaranteed. At this moment, the banks of the Yongji Canal are already in chaos, north of the Yellow River Wang Bo, Meng Rang, Du Yanbing, Li Deyi and other thieves have not been pacified, and Jibei Han Jinluo, Zhen Baoche, and Jiyin Meng Haigong have gathered tens of thousands of people to steal; Beihai Guo Fang pre-gathered 30,000 disciples, called himself Lu Gong, captured Beihai County, and plundered away. Yang Xuangan suspected that the secret had been leaked, and Yang Guang was playing tricks, and immediately notified everyone to prepare for the incident.

The owner of Wagang Village is Zhai Rang, a native of Dongjun, the original Dongjun Fa Cao, a strong man who eats both black and white, and Zhai Rang deserves death for a crime in the seventh year of the great cause, fortunately the jailer Huang Junhan thinks that Zhai Rang is not an ordinary person, and cooperates with Xu Shiji to save people in the middle of the night, Zhai Rang has the opportunity to escape to Wagang as a thief. Later, Zhai Rang's friend Wang Bodang also led the crowd up the mountain, and a group of brothers gathered in the Wuthering Mountains and forests, drank wine and ate meat in large bowls, but they were also at ease.

Because Xu Shiyun persuaded Zhai Rang, he said that Dongjun was a township for the two of them, and most of the people in the county knew each other, so it was not appropriate to invade and rob them; Zhai Rang led the crowd into the realm of Xingyang and Liangjun, robbed ships in the Bianshui Valley, and plundered merchants and passengers. The supply of cottages is abundant, but Zhai Rang has to deal with Han Xiangguo, a big man in Liang County, and today Han Xiangguo invited him again, which made Zhai Rang have a bad feeling.

Han Xiangguo is more than six feet tall, burly and handsome, over forty years old, his abdomen gradually bulges, and he laughs amiably: "Lord Zhai Zhai, Han has something to ask for today." ”

Zhai Rang is not an ordinary person, like thousands of other aspiring people in the world, he seems to be fierce and good at fighting, but he is not confused at all, Han Xiangguo has to ask for something, which one is easy to do. Zhai Rang asked politely, "Brother Han has something to say." ”

Han Xiangguo smiled and handed Zhai Rang a letter, which was Yang Xuangan's order to inform Han Xiangguo to raise troops; Han Xiangguo always had a smile on his face, but Zhai Rang understood that as long as he didn't say a word, Han Xiangguo's pre-ambushed manpower would come out from everywhere and cut himself and Xu Shiji into pulp. Zhai Rang really felt a little nervous, and handed the letter to Xu Shiji, who was standing behind him.

Xu Shiji read the letter unhurriedly and asked, "How many people does Brother Han have?" ”

Han Xiangguo said casually: "More than 30,000 people." If I open a warehouse and release grain, I believe that tens of thousands of people can be recruited in a few days, and the weapons are ready-made. ”

Now the homeless people are everywhere, and when there is no way to live, they can change their children and eat, as long as anyone can give their mouths full to eat, there are many people who are willing to give up their lives; Xu Shiji was shocked that Han Xiangguo's weapons were ready-made, and the weapons began to be controlled in the third year of the Great Cause, that is, Wagangzhai had clearly rebelled, and one-third of the people belonged to the uncovered pole, and they were still holding wooden sticks and hoes, and Han Xiangguo could prepare tens of thousands of weapons, what kind of energy and courage.

Xu Shiji is actually very tormented these days, Yang Chong and Shan Xiongxin's deeds in the Western Regions are very clear through the Cui family and folk paths, saying that he does not regret refusing Yang Chong's solicitation back then is fake, but Xu Shiji's biggest worry is that once Zhai Rang and Wagangzhai can't support it, what will he do? Yang Xuangan's letter was like a life-saving straw, igniting Xu Shiji's hope, but there were still some things to ask clearly, Xu Shiji asked calmly: "Brother Han, if the army of the Son of Heaven retreats from Liaodong, what good ideas do you have." ”

"Good idea." Han Xiangguo felt it, and seemed to want to express his sorrow at one time: "Brother Xu, Han doesn't speak, no; What Han believes in is Xiao Yue Guogong, he has been operating in the DPRK for many years, since he dares to do it, he must be fifty percent sure. The emperor will Xiangning have a kind of Yang Chong, who was born in a poor family, and piled up one after another human head landscapes in the Western Regions, who would have thought in advance that sometimes, desperate situations can survive. ”

Yang Chong, Xu Shiji's eyes flashed in front of him again, the figure of the weak young man flashed again, Xu Shiji clenched his fists, turned back to Zhai Rang and said, "Big brother, bet." ”

Zhai Rang didn't expect Xu Shiji to be so excited, so he stood up and stopped for a long time before saying, "Brother Han, I promise you and Xiao Yue Guogong to raise troops together." ”

Han Xiangguo laughed, Zhai Rang and Xu Shiji are both people who do what they say, they finally won Wagang, Li Mi saw it really accurately, these reckless and reckless things are ambitious and righteous.
