Chapter 124: Taiyuan stays behind

Although the total solar eclipse on the first day of May did not last long, it had a great impact on people's hearts. Because the emperor is known as the Son of Heaven, and now that the heavens have been "eaten", it is certain that the Son of Heaven should also be replaced.

Therefore, after the first day of the fifth month, there was a sudden increase in rebellions in various places.

Yang Guang himself after this incident, is also restless, since the Yanmen Pass was besieged, Yang Guang has not slept a day, on the first day of the first month of last month, the west courtyard of the palace Daye Hall caught fire, Yang Guang in his sleep thought that the thieves were coming, hurriedly fled into the West Garden, hid in the grass, and came out after the fire was extinguished.

After that, he often woke up every night with palpitations, and had to be caressed by several women before he could sleep.

After the total solar eclipse, Yang Guang didn't want to stay in Luoyang anymore, he wanted to go to Jiangdu to relax.

The Southern Dynasty was pacified by Yang Guang in name, when he was not yet the prince, he was the governor of Yangzhou, and stayed in Jiangdu for more than ten years, so he had a deep affection for Jiangdu, Yang Guang had to visit Jiangdu almost every year after he ascended the throne, but he didn't go this year, just to relax.

However, Yang Guang's dragon boat was burned by Yang Xuangan in the ninth year of the great cause and had to be rebuilt, so Yang Guang ordered Jiangdu to supervise the construction of the dragon boat, which must be built within two months, otherwise the head will fall to the ground!

On this day, Yang Guang asked the courtiers around him about the situation of the thieves, and Zuo Yiwei's general Yuwen said: "It is gradually decreasing. Yang Guangdao: "How much less than in the past?" Yu Wenshu replied: "Not as much as one-tenth of the past." ”

Su Wei was hiding behind the pillar at this time, Yang Guang called Su Wei to the front of the seat and asked him, Su Wei replied: "I am not an official in charge of this area, I don't know how many thieves there are, but the thieves are getting closer and closer to Beijing." ”

Yang Guang asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

Su Wei said: "In the past, thieves only occupied Changbai Mountain, but now they are close to Bishui. Besides, where are the servants who used to be rented and transferred? Aren't people all thieves? Recently, I have seen that none of the thieves in the previous performance are true, so the measures are inappropriate, and the thieves cannot be eliminated in time. Moreover, when he was in Yanmen before, he had promised to stop the expedition to Liaodong, and now he has requisitioned soldiers, how can the thieves be quelled? ”

Yang Guang was unhappy when he heard this, and walked away.

Soon on the fifth day of May, many of the officials paid tribute to the treasures, but Su Wei presented the "Book of Shang", and some people slandered Su Wei and said: "There is "Song of the Five Sons" in the "Book of Shang" (this is a poem lamenting the death of the emperor), and Su Wei's meaning is very disrespectful. ”

Yang Guang was even more angry. Soon after, Yang Guang asked Su Wei about the conquest of Goryeo, and Su Wei wanted Yang Guang to know that there were many thieves in the world, so he replied: "If you want to conquer Liao again, you don't need to gather any more soldiers, as long as you pardon the thieves in the world, you can naturally get hundreds of thousands of people, and then send them to the east, these people are happy to be pardoned for their sins, and they will compete for meritorious service, and Goryeo can be wiped out." ”

After Yang Guang heard this, his face was long, and he waved his hand to let Su Wei retreat, and Pei Yun on the side said: "Su Wei just likes to exaggerate, where are there many thieves in the world?" ”

Yang Guang said: "This old guy is extremely treacherous, and he uses thieves to scare me, I want to ask someone to hit him in the mouth, but I just put up with it for the time being." ”

Pei Yun knew Yang Guang's intentions, so he asked Zhang Xingben, a commoner in Henan, to play: "When Su Wei was in charge of the selection of officials in Gaoyang in the past, he indiscriminately granted official positions, feared the Turks, and asked to return to Beijing. ”

Yang Guang ordered someone to conduct a review and verification, which constituted a crime, so Yang Guang issued an edict to count Su Wei's charges and remove him as a civilian.

More than a month later, someone reported that Su Wei and the Turks secretly colluded to plot misdeeds, and the matter was handed over to Pei Yun to be investigated and prosecuted, and Pei Yun sentenced Su Wei to death. Su Wei couldn't defend himself, but only went to the peak to apologize.

After Yang Guang watched Su Wei's recital, he remembered Su Wei's previous achievements, and finally couldn't bear to kill him, and sent someone to release Su Wei, but only removed Su Wei's three generations of children and grandchildren from their official positions and titles as commoners.

In June, Wang Xuba, the "King of Mantian" of Shanggu County, led more than 100,000 people to attack the Flying Fox Pass occupied by Li Yin, and wanted to enter Hedong from the Flying Fox to plunder.

However, no one expected that not long after the rescue letter was sent, Wang Xuba actually died in the middle of the arrow, and more than 100,000 subordinates were suddenly scattered, and they ran away overnight.

After Li Yin learned of this situation at first, he thought that the enemy army was playing some tricks, and after sending people to seriously investigate, he was convinced that the news was correct.

This is the case in this era, a person who is still majestic one moment may hang up the next moment, and he doesn't know how to hang up, Li Yin doesn't know which soldier shot Wang Xuba, and he can't find anyone if he wants to reward people.

Most of Wang Subha's men eventually took refuge in another rebel leader in Shanggu County, "Lishan Fei" Wei Dao'er.

Wei Dao'er was naturally very happy to get more than 100,000 people out of thin air, but he was also worried about food because of this, a total of 200,000 people, and the food consumed every day was too much.

Wei Dao'er's other general, Zhen Zhai'er, saw a big opportunity from this, and suggested to Wei Dao'er: "General, why don't you let me lead some of them into Hedong to grab grain and strengthen our name in Lishanfei?" ”

Wei Dao'er also felt that it was the best way to divide the troops for today, so he agreed to let Zhen Zhai'er lead his troops into Hedong, and Zhen Zhai'er took people on the road with an excited face.

In this world, there are soldiers who are the king of grass, and after Zhen Zhai'er came out of Wei Dao'er's department, he planned not to come back, but the name of "Lishan Fei" was already very loud, and Zhen Zhai'er planned to continue to use it.

Most of the troops led by Zhen Zhai'er were Wang Xuba's original team, and Wei Dao'er naturally would not let Zhen Zhai'er take away his descendants so generously.

Zhen Zhai'er originally planned to break through the Flying Fox Pass and enter the Hedong region from the Flying Fox Pass, but his subordinates had just experienced the unprovoked tragic death of their own "Mantian King" in the Flying Fox Pass not long ago, and the shadow in his heart had not disappeared, so they all strongly opposed fighting the Flying Fox Pass again.

Zhen Zhai'er had no choice but to continue walking north, took a big bend, bypassed the Taihang Mountain, entered Mayi County from the grassland, and then plundered all the way south until the vicinity of Taiyuan County.

At this time, it was close to July, the imperial court sent the tiger general Pan Changwen of Taiyuan County to meet the enemy, Pan Changwen was defeated and died, Zhen Zhai'er took advantage of the situation to continue to plunder to the south, the court was shaken, and Li Yuan was appointed as the Taiyuan guard, with the county Cheng Wang Wei and Wu Yalang general Gao Junya as the deputy general, leading the army to recruit Zhen Zhai'er.

Li Yuan immediately sent someone to tell Li Yin this happy news, and Li Yin did not say a word, and immediately personally led 5,000 cavalry south to Jinyang to assist Li Yuan in pacifying Zhen Zhai'er.
