Chapter 252: The First Expedition Failed, and Wang Bo Revolted

Since Emperor Yang of Sui began to plan to conquer Goguryeo, he ordered horses to be raised east of Kunshan for military service. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info and requisition of the people to transport grain, stored in Luhe, Huaiyuan two towns, the arrival of the carts and cattle have not been able to return, more than half of the soldiers died, the time of cultivation is lost, the emperor since the last year to seek Goryeo, Zhaoshan East to set up a mansion, order to raise horses for military service. The people were also sent to transport rice, which was accumulated in the two towns of Luhe and Huaiyuan, and the carts and cattle did not return, and more than half of the soldiers died, and the cultivated land was mostly barren. In addition, the price of grain is very high, and the northeast is particularly serious, and the price of dou rice has risen to hundreds of dollars. If the rice is coarse, the people shall be ordered to compensate him with rice. He also levied more than 600,000 yuan for the deer coachman, pushing rice and three stones for every two people, the road was dangerous, and it was not enough to eat the people on the road, and when they arrived, there was no food to transport, and they were afraid of being punished and fled. In addition, the officials of the Sui Dynasty were greedy and cruel, and took the opportunity to plunder the people, fish and flesh the people, causing the people to be poor, and the people's materials and people's strength were exhausted. Wang Bo, Dou Ziying, Dou Jiande and other common people and peasants revolted and swarmed, innumerable, and captured the city. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ordered Duwei and Yingyang to hunt down with the county and kill each other, but the peasant uprising could still not be prevented.

Wang Bo, a native of Zouping in Qi County, was the leader of the Sui Wei Peasant Rebel Army. In the seventh year of the Great Cause of the Sui Dynasty, Wang Bo and Meng Rang of the same county launched a peasant uprising based on Changbai Mountain because of heavy military service, calling himself "Zhishilang", and wrote "The Song of Death in Liaodong Waves", calling on the peasants to join the rebel army. The event was between Qi County and Jibei County, and Shandong farmers responded one after another.

"Changbai Mountain is a former Zhishilang, pure red Luo Mian back crotch. The long lance invades the sky and a half, and the wheel knife shines in the sun. Go up the mountain to eat roe deer, and go down the mountain to eat cattle and sheep. Suddenly, when he heard the arrival of the official army, he raised his knife and swung forward. For example, if Liaodong died, he was injured by beheading. ”

According to historical records, it was precisely because of this "Song of the Death of the Waves of Liaodong that the Song of the Death of the Waveless Liaodong" destroyed a dynasty.

"Brother Wang, someone who claims to be the Shadow Gate has contacted us and said that they can provide us with a batch of weapons and food and grass for free." A man leaning on crutches and limping as a Confucian rushed over and whispered to Wang Bo.

"What's the origin of the Shadow Gate, I don't think I've heard of it?" Wang Bo couldn't help but be a little curious, someone sent weapons and materials when he was just righteous, and there seemed to be something wrong with it.

"Big brother, I've heard of this Shadow Gate, and I've been active on the black market before, and it's a lot of money when I make a move. I pondered that it was probably a big force behind the scenes. At this time, a fortune teller beside Wang Bo, a Taoist dressed as a fortune teller, wiped his beard and said guessingly.

"Second brother, what you say makes sense. You help me think about it, whether we can accept it or not. Wang Bo said with some reluctance.

"Accept it, why don't you accept it. Could there be anything worse in our situation now? "This is Wang Bo's military and righteous brother, who is considered a half-immortal. It can be said that many of Wang Bo's calculations after the uprising were due to the attention of this dog-headed military advisor.

"Cripple, you go and bring some brothers to the joint, and be sure to bring that batch of weapons and supplies over." Wang Bo was right to think about it, now they are facing the encirclement and suppression of millions of Great Sui troops, even if they accept it? Even if the other party has a plan, so what? Compared to himself, he can survive, and everything will be talked about later.

As for this Shadow Gate, it was originally the code name used by He Xuewu when he traded bounties on the black market, but with his repeated large-scale actions on the black market, it can be regarded as a bit of fame. He Xuewu, who was determined to be the person behind the scenes, learned that the Wang Bo uprising in history had begun. He plans to invest in it, not because he is optimistic about this uprising, but because he is optimistic about the character of Wang Bo. Being able to fall down and get up again and again is not easy for such a character. If it weren't for the wrong timing of the current world pattern, it would be possible for someone like him to take over the world.

That's why successful people like to make behind-the-scenes investments. I have idle capital to invest, and I look at the strategic vision, and I have long been out of the stage where I am still studying tactics. In addition to this, he also invested in some scattered uprisings, which can really be regarded as casting a wide net.

"Xuewu, how did you give away those weapons and materials for free, and the other party didn't know each other. It's all money. Lu Xiaoxuan on the side also questioned He Xuewu at this time.

But he was coldly replied by He Xuewu: "Are you still short of money." ”

That's right, since getting married, Lu Xiaoxuan can't wait to indulge in gold almost all day long. Their room, even the toilet is golden, which can be imagined how terrible it is.

"Hmph, you have changed your mind, you don't love me anymore, do you think money can buy everything." Lu Xiaoxuan is unreasonable and coquettish.

But He Xuewu looked innocent and helpless, alas, he cooperated with acting and flirting all day long, which was really tiring, but Lu Xiaoxuan was not happy. At this moment, I can't describe the regret in He Xuewu's heart that he regretted why he provoked this little aunt and grandmother in the first place, and now he is guilty.

In the ninth year of the great cause, after receiving the strong support of He Xuewu, Wang Bo led his troops to attack Lu County with complete troops, and at first achieved some victories, but due to paralysis and light enemy, the result was a surprise attack by Zhang Xutuo of Sui Qi County, and thousands of people were killed. Later, Wang Bo regrouped his forces, crossed the Yellow River north, and came to Linyi. Zhang Xutuo chased after him, Wang Bo fought a decisive battle with him, and suffered heavy losses, 5,000 people were killed, and tens of thousands of livestock were lost. After that, Wang Bo and Xuanya, Hao Xiaode and other rebels totaled more than 100,000 people to attack Zhangqiu, and Zhang Xutuo personally led 20,000 cavalry to meet the attack, and the rebel army suffered another defeat.

Wang Bo escaped with only a few dozen of his cronies, and the rest were exterminated.

Helpless, Wang Bo could only obey the attention of the half-immortal, lurk, and occupy the mountain as the king. Secretly develop forces in order to make a comeback. In the following years, Wang Bo mainly fought in the coastal areas of northern Shandong, supporting each other with other rebel armies to resist the Sui.

Many of them were funded by He Xuewu in the name of the Shadow Gate, and due to the continuous wars in the imperial court, his procurement list of armaments and materials was tens of thousands. Due to the rush of time, many of them ordered directly from Shenbing Villa, which made He Xuewu earn a lot of money and achieved a win-win situation for both parties. I remember that a foreigner once said a sentence, no matter what era, making war money is the fastest way to make a fortune.

Now that I think about it, there is indeed some truth, the United States in the past also rose by making war money, and now Russia is also following suit, not to mention ancient times. (To be continued.) )
