In the second year of Tianze, when the Southern Sui was busy with internal affairs, the other counties were in turmoil.

In the northeast of the Great Sui, a monk named Gao Tansheng killed the county officials and county guards, proclaimed himself the Mahayana emperor, and set up a nun as the queen, which became a laughing stock for a while. However, Gao Tansheng only served as the emperor for three months before he was beheaded by Gao Kaidao, who he recruited.

Gao Kaidao annexed all the soldiers and horses of Gao Tansheng, retreated to Yuyang County, proclaimed himself King of Yan, and was named Shixing in the founding year, relying on the Turkic forces.

Dozens of miles west of Yuyang County is Zhuo County, Luo Yi killed the county guard, claimed to be the governor of Youzhou, and ruled the two states of Youzhou and Ying. But Luo Yi was surrounded by many forces, and after weighing it, he chose to take refuge in Li Yuan's Datang.

Liu Wuzhou occupied Mayi, Dingxiang, Yanmen, Hufu and other counties, Guo Zihe occupied Yulin and Wuyuan, and Liang Shi all sat on Shuofang, Lingwu, Yanchuan and other counties. Especially Liu Wuzhou, who ignored Li Yuan's Tang Dynasty, often harassed the Taiyuan area, and the people were miserable.

From Xiping County to the west to the end of the county were captured by Li Rail, he built the capital Wuwei and established the Daliang Dynasty.

Xue Ju, Xue Rengao and his son occupied the area of Jincheng and Tianshui, falsely claimed to be the descendants of the first emperor, established the Qin State, named Qin Xing, and attacked the Tang Dynasty. At this time, Hedong had been broken, and Li Yuan sent Li Shimin to lead troops to resist, and the two sides were deadlocked.

In the Hebei area, Dou Jiande first designed to defeat Wei Dao'er, annex its territory, and then killed Yu Wenhua, Yu Wenzhi and others who fled to Liaocheng, because he loved the people like a son, and was frugal and simple on weekdays, and when he met Queen Xiao, he regarded himself as a courtier, won the favor of the people of the world, and soon had more than 400,000 soldiers.

In the southeast, although Shen Faxing lost Biling County, he still has more than ten counties in Wu County, Yuhang, Huiji, Dongyang, Yongjia and Xin'an, and his momentum should not be underestimated.

Lin Shihong built Yuzhang City as the capital. The establishment of the state of Chu, there are Jiujiang, Poyang, Linchuan, Luling and other counties, Xiao Milling as a descendant of the royal family of the Liang Dynasty, rebuilt the Liang state, first set the capital Baling, and then moved to Jiangling. Chu and Liang depend on each other. There were wars from time to time, but since the Tang Dynasty became stronger, they became peaceful, secretly preparing food and grass, and recruiting soldiers in order to protect themselves.

There are many miasma and plagues in the Lingnan area, and the people were afraid to avoid this area, but in the troubled times, Lingnan is the only place where there is no war. Zuo Wuwei general Feng Ang after Yang Guang was killed. He returned to Lingnan, gathered the people, got 50,000 soldiers, and appointed himself as the leader.

Feng Ang was not well-known in later generations, but he was a man of martial virtue, who could fight on the horse and govern when he got off the horse. Under his administration, the situation in Lingnan has remained stable.

Jianghuai region. It is bounded by the East China Sea in the north, adjacent in the south, and Liyang in the west. Returned to the Southern Sui, when the various forces were vying for territory, the Southern Sui adopted a policy of recuperation, even if it had elite soldiers and strong generals, it only cleared the threat around the Jiangdu and did not invade other cities.

In the middle of the Great Sui. The Tang Dynasty was the dominant family, from Taiyuan to Mingyang, all of which were its spheres of influence. This is not only due to the good use of Li Yuan's father and son, but also to the chaos of the Northern Sui, Wagang, and Xu Guo

The changes in Luoyang were not expected by Li Xuanba.

Yu Wenhua and killed Yang Guang. led the army back to the north, and along the way he was like a rat crossing the street, no one was welcome, so that in the end, only more than 20,000 people were willing to follow him. What's even more desolate is that Yu Wenhua only cares about carrying gold, silver and jewelry, and the army is short of food and grass, and is about to starve to death.

No people took the initiative to offer food because of his status as an emperor, so he only plundered like a robber, and the eastern capital was in chaos. So someone offered advice to attack Liyang.

The eastern capital and Luokou cities are strong, and 20,000 soldiers are simply not enough to fill them, but Liyang is different! But they ignored the main general who guarded Liyang Cang!

Li Mi killed Zhai Rang, and there was a gap with the old department of Wagang, especially Xu Shiji, who was stubborn and outspoken, and was sent by him to guard Liyang.

Xu Shiji knew that the Xiaoguo army was brave in battle, and the soldiers under his command were all newly recruited soldiers, and the head-on battle was not the opponent of Yu Wenhua at all, so he took the initiative to give up Liyang City, retreated to Liyang Cangcheng, and sent people to Luokou for help.

It was under such conditions that Li Mi was worried about being attacked by the enemy, so he accepted Yang Gao's offer and agreed to submit to the Northern Sui court.

Of course, Li Mi's Wagang army had hundreds of thousands of people, how could it be possible to truly submit to the imperial court with less than half of its own troops? He just adopted a delaying tactic, intending to eliminate Yu Wenhua and then re-attack Luoyang.

Li Mi got Yang Gao's promise, personally led tens of thousands of elite soldiers, stationed in Qingqi City, and Xu Shiji echoed from afar with the beacon fire.

Xu Shiji is worthy of being a general, he ordered people to dig a trench under the city wall, and forcibly made the city wall of Liyang a few meters higher. But without siege equipment, even if the Xiaoguo army can defeat one enemy and ten, there is no way to face the tall city walls.

Yu Wenhua was depressed and worried, pulling his hair in strands, there was less and less food and grass, and the place that could be grabbed was also gone, what should I do next?

At this time, a letter sent by Li Mi was like a warm sunshine, which warmed Yu Wenhua's heart, because Li Mi's letter said that he wanted to reconcile with Yu Wenhua and agreed to give him a large amount of food.

Yu Wenhua believed it, in order to win people's hearts and let the soldiers eat boldly with confidence, the already small amount of food soon bottomed out.

If it goes on like this, without waiting for Li Mi to attack, Yu Wenhua and himself will starve to death, this is Li Mi's strategy. But the hundreds of thousands of people in Wagang are not monolithic, and some people defected to Yu Wenhua and told Li Mi's conspiracy.

Yu Wenhua and furious, personally led the whole army, forced the Yongji Canal, and at the foot of Tong Mountain to fight with Li Mi, Li Mi saw that Yu Wenhua and stupid, and did not put him in his eyes, and gladly led his troops to fight.

It turns out that pride is a bad habit.

The two armies fought for six hours, and the Wagang army was defeated, and the defeat was very complete, and Li Mi was also shot by a stray arrow, fell off his horse and passed out.

Fortunately, Cheng Yanjin appeared in time, rescued Li Mi, gathered the soldiers, and re-engaged the Xiaoguo army.

The Xiaoguo army fought for six hours in a row, the people were sleepy and the horses were lacking, and most of the Wagang army were soldiers who had been scattered before, and the physical strength was not much.

After the first battle of Tongshan, the Wagang army and the Xiaoguo army were both defeated!

After Yu Wenhua withdrew his troops, because of food and grass, he could only go north to Wei County, and after being repulsed, he was defeated and took Liaocheng and died in the hands of Dou Jiande.

On the other side, Li Mi led his army back to Kim Yong City, ready to rest and recuperate, and then led his army to attack Luoyang in the name of the auxiliary government of the court.

The ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny.

Without waiting for Li Mi to enter the court, Wang Shichong personally led 20,000 Jianghuai troops and 2,000 cavalry to garrison the south bank of the canal, erect three bridges on the canal, and prepare for a decisive battle with the Wagang army!

What surprised Li Xuanba was not these, what surprised him was that Yang Gao was still alive! Wang Shichong actually didn't stand on his own! (To be continued.) )
