Chapter 268: Separate Development, Great Sui Death Knell
"Big brother, I have already asked the brothers stationed in Tiger Mountain to evacuate. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" A man with a scar on his face stood in front of Cheng Yanjin and said softly.
"Have you cleaned up the finishing touches? Remember to transfer the girl and her family by the way, and don't leave the tail to show the horse's feet at that time. Cheng Yanjin sat on the tiger skin stool in the Biting Gold Trading House in Qingshui Town, which was just passing by by Shuanglong, brewing strong tea and saying word by word.
"Don't worry! Big brother, you don't know what I'm doing, the brothers who showed their faces, the girl and her family were all sent to the second brother three days before the officers and soldiers arrived. I believe that the officers and soldiers will not be able to find any clues? Scar Man said with a confident face.
"Scar Liu, I said you kid, you can't be a little promising. It's still that arrogant look, but I have accurate information, and the person who led the troops this time is not simple. It is said that they are the two godsons of the Yangzhou general, and we must not cause conflicts with each other. Otherwise, our original purpose will be exposed, and you and I will not be able to eat and walk around. Cheng Yanjin's face was a little serious, teaching this henchman a lesson.
Scar Liu immediately turned into a nodding worm, and responded in a loud voice: "Understood, understood." ”
"Well, your kid has also shown up, just stay at home for a short time, I heard that your daughter-in-law is also about to give birth, go to the account and get 2,000 yuan to buy her something to make up for her body." Cheng Biting Jin's current royal means is also hand-to-hand, and the radish stick is added together, which makes this scar brother grateful.
As for Shuanglong, who rushed to Tiger Mountain, he pounced on the air without accident, and there was not even a basic cottage on this Tiger Mountain, which made it clear that it was just an idle barren mountain and wild range. And they searched all over the mountain, and they didn't even see a single figure.
"Ling Shao, have we been tricked? This thing is not right, there are bandits and bandits here. There is a lot of game, and I will give you a roast rabbit leg, which is worthy of being wild, and the taste is different. Kou Zhong complained while handing over a roasted rabbit leg to Xu Ziling.
Xu Ziling smiled and said nothing. Looking at the surrounding environment, and thinking of the strange scene in the town before, I couldn't help but sigh deeply.
"What's wrong?" Kou Zhong looked at Xu Ziling sighing and couldn't help but ask cautiously.
"I think we'll finish eating the game and go back to the business!" Xu Ziling said angrily.
"Ling Shao, you're not kidding! We came to suppress the bandits, but we didn't let out a single fart, so we just left, and the credit was not lost. Kou Zhong, who had secretly received some benefits from the county official, said a little depressed.
"Zhong Shao, don't you feel that we have been stared at since we first came out of the Yangzhou barracks? Even when you were in Qingquan Town, didn't you think that there was a problem with the attitude of those people towards us? And when we came to this deserted Tiger Mountain, all this in front of us is enough to tell us that the other party is not willing to cause conflict with us at all. But with such a generous action of the other party, if we continue to be entangled here, it is estimated that it will not be a problem for people to keep us one hundred and eighty people here? Xu Ziling analyzed it for Kou Zhong word by word.
"Isn't our situation very dangerous? Or let's run for our lives! When Kou Zhong heard this, he also knew that he seemed to have fallen into an extremely large trap conspiracy, but fortunately, the other party seemed to have some concerns about not clashing with them, but it didn't mean that he was afraid of them. I couldn't help but say in a panic.
"That's not necessary, as the so-called military book says, fiction is real, reality is fiction. We should also be calm when we retreat, so that the other side does not see that we have discovered their intentions. Otherwise, I don't think it's going to be easy for us to get out of here. So under Xu Ziling's arrangement, Kou Zhong led the hundred officers and soldiers who came with them to return with a dejected look.
And Cheng Biting Jin, who has been busy making money, has no extraneous branches, so Ssangyong's retreat can be regarded as dangerous.
Compared with Cheng Biting Jin's unscrupulous work, the other group of disciples led by Wei Chigong who came out of the Shenbing Villa were relatively dedicated. The hill where they were located was stuck in the mouth of Yangzhou, where there was originally a group of pirates, but they did not have a good reputation for burning and looting. Therefore, Wei Chigong, who has always been upright, directly wiped out this group of pirates and occupied their original lair. Now it is also developing rapidly, although there are no more than 5,000 people in Cheng Yanjin's department, but it also has a scale of three or four thousand.
And Wei Chigong robs here for a living, but he is also a thief. received the protection money paid by the past merchant ships, but did not do anything angry and resentful. also made a name for himself in the local area, known as the Sea Dragon King Cupola, which is also a pseudonym for Wei Chigong in order to act conveniently, compared to Cheng Yanjin, who is greedy for money and lustful in business, but he is taking a different path.
He Xuewu also corresponds with him every three months, and maintains a close relationship with each other. However, as Emperor Yang of Sui's third expedition to Goguryeo was about to begin, rebellions occurred frequently in various places.
In the tenth year of the Great Cause, Emperor Yang of Sui issued an edict to once again levy the world's troops and attack Goguryeo. In March, Emperor Yang of Sui arrived in Zhuo County, and the soldiers of Sui fled one after another on the road. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty went to Linyu Palace, sacrificed to the Yellow Emperor, and killed the rebels to provoke the drums, but still could not prevent people from fleeing. In the autumn and July of that year, Emperor Yang of Sui drove to Huaiyuan Town. This is the Sui Dynasty has been in turmoil, most of the conscripted troops failed to arrive on time, Goguryeo is also in trouble, the Sui Dynasty came to Hu'er to take the opportunity to march to Pyongyang, Goguryeo King Gao Yuan was afraid, so he sent an envoy to surrender, imprisoned and sent back to Hu Sizheng. Emperor Yang of Sui was very happy and sent an envoy to summon Hu'er to lead the army back. Lai Hu'er thought that this was a good opportunity to break through Goguryeo, and wanted to continue the attack, but the generals obeyed the orders of Emperor Yang of Sui and asked them to return. In August, Emperor Yang of Sui returned from Huaiyuan Town. Yang Gongqing, the handan thief, led his party of 8,000 people to rob the eighth team behind Emperor Yang of Sui's chariot, and obtained 42 horses from Feihuang Shangstable. In October, Ding Mao, Emperor Yang of Sui arrived in the eastern capital, Jichou, and arrived in Xijing. The king of Goguryeo, Gao Yuan, entered the court, but Gao Yuan did not come. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ordered the generals to be dressed up strictly and prepare to conquer Goguryeo again, but in the end they did not make the trip.
These were three expeditions to Goguryeo, and the people mourned. finally sounded the death knell of the originally prosperous Great Sui Dynasty. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty launched a war against Goguryeo, and the three consecutive years of conquest killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Sui Dynasty, as well as the death of a large number of people, huge material losses, excessive expropriation and destruction of the economy of the Sui Dynasty, causing strong dissatisfaction of the people in the country against Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. When Emperor Yang of Sui attacked Goguryeo for the first time, a peasant uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty began. By the time Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo for the third time, a large number of peasant uprisings in various places caused the Sui Dynasty to collapse and exist in name only. The Sui Dynasty's successive campaigns against Goguryeo not only seriously weakened the Sui national strength and led to the misery of the people, but also caused the Sui Yang Emperor to lose the support of the people, and a large-scale peasant uprising occurred at the end of the Sui Dynasty, which collapsed the rule of the Sui Dynasty. During the third expedition of Emperor Yang of Sui, Goguryeo expressed submission on the surface, but did not enter the court according to the orders of Emperor Yang of Sui, and captured a large number of Sui people and did not let them go.
