Chapter 145: The Great Era is Coming

Before the thieves of Xie Xiang and others arrived in Yangxin, Yangxin's county order fled in the wind; Kan Ling and his men took the opportunity to occupy Yangxin County. On the evening of the same day, taking advantage www.biquge.info of the carelessness of Xie Xiang and others, Kan Ling led 1,000 people to attack the camp of the thieves.

This night, only the corpses killed were all over the field, the thieves trampled on each other, countless dead and wounded, Kan Ling fought four people with one man, and still killed Wang Liang and Zhang Dabiao; Xie Xiang and Li Wan saw that the general trend had gone and gave up their weapons and surrendered.

Kan Ling got more than 20,000 thieves in the first battle, and the military prestige was greatly boosted, taking advantage of the situation to control the whole county of Yangxin, and laying a nail for Liangshan in the north of Shandong.

Then Kan Ling reported to Zhang Xutuo, and Zhang Xutuo was overjoyed when he heard that there was such a fierce general under his command; Urgently dispatch Kan Ling to the account to listen to the order.

Kan Ling was ordered to leave Li Wan and these soldiers to garrison here, and he took Xie Xiang to see Zhang Xutuo.

Zhang Xutuo was overjoyed when he saw Kan Leng, and tested his martial arts again, and found that he was not inferior to Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao at all; thought that he had found a replacement for Qin Qiong; The book is Kan Leng's expression.

Lord Sui is also worried now, Yang Xuangan has not sent military rations for a long time on the grounds that it is difficult to transport military rations for many thieves; Their army has been difficult to advance in Liaodong.

Today received a good news from Zhang Xutuo, Yang Guangxi ; He felt that the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs could still give him some good news, and the others either asked the court for things by suppressing bandits, or they couldn't pay taxes and tribute because of bandits. Look at Zhang Xutuo, the robbers in Shandong are about to be wiped out by him.

Now the fastest development, the threat is Wagang Mountain, Henan, Yang Guang decided to send Zhang Xutuo to Henan to suppress bandits; After all, he is still the ambassador of the Twelve Provinces of Henan! So Yang Guang ordered Kan Ling to be a staff member and follow Zhang Xutuo to exterminate Wagang Mountain.

As soon as his holy decree was issued, a grain supervisor came to report that the supplies in the rear had not arrived for more than ten days, and the grain and grass in the army were about to run out. Yang Guangfu once again ordered Yang Xuangan to transport military rations; As a result, he got a news that surprised him: Yang Xuangan's younger brother Wu Benlang, who came to Liaodong with the army, sent Yang Xuanzong and Ying Yanglang to Yang Wanshuo, and fled from the army, and his whereabouts are unknown.

Yang Guang was shocked, he had already felt that Yang Xuangan had rebelled! In his eyes, the peasant revolt was just a swarm of flies, a disease of mustard moss; Yang Xuan felt that these people were favored by the emperor in the world, and they also rebelled against themselves, and these people were the biggest troubles.

Yang Guang hurriedly sent his men to find out the exact news, and ordered Yang Tong, the king of Yue, who stayed behind in Luoyang, and Yang Yu, the acting king of Chang'an, to secretly investigate the matter.

His holy decree has not yet been passed back, and on the third day of June of this year, Yang Xuangan falsely claimed that the general of the right Xiaowei in Donglai Haikou came to protect his children and rebelled, led the troops to occupy Liyang, closed the city gate, and asked for a man. and sent a document to the nearby counties, in the name of crusading against Laihu'er, ordering all counties to send troops to gather in Liyang.

Yang Xuangan appointed Zhao Huaiyi as the assassin of Weizhou, Wei Yuanwu of Dongguang County as the assassin of Lizhou, and Tang Wei, the chief secretary of Hanoi County, as the assassin of Huaizhou. And selected more than 5,000 strong transporters, more than 3,000 boatmen, killed three animals and swore an oath, and raised troops against Sui.

Later, Li Mi arrived from Chang'an and was appointed as the mastermind by Yang Xuangan; He offered Yang Xuangan three plans: upper, middle and lower; The best strategy is to attack Zhuo County, choke Yuguan, and make the Sui army disperse outside the pass; The middle strategy is to capture Chang'an, occupy Guanzhong and confront Emperor Yang of Sui; The next strategy is to attack Luoyang.

However, Yang Xuangan decided to use a plan, he mistakenly thought that only by defeating the eastern capital could he increase morale and capture the families of civil and military officials as hostages, so he burned the dragon boat in Liyang and led his troops to Luoyang, the eastern capital.

Yang Xuangan's response to this group of soldiers flocked like a street market, and even after some of the exploits of the Sui Dynasty, such as Han Shixu, the son of Han Baohu, also responded with troops.

Although most of Yang Xuangan's soldiers were farmers, their morale was high, and the Sui army fled in despair, and by June 14, Yang Xuangan's army of 50,000 had surrounded Luoyang.

Yang Xuangan went to the spring gate (north gate of Luoyang), pointed to the sky and swore to everyone: "As a Shangzhu country, my family has a lot of money, as for the wealth, I have nothing to ask for. "Everyone is excited, and there are thousands of people who join the camp every day.

Yang Xuangan and Han Shixuan are both fierce generals in the world, and they must be the first in every battle; The soldiers under his command were also greatly invigorated, and the Sui soldiers killed suffered heavy casualties; However, Fan Zigai, the general who followed Yang Tong to guard Luoyang, was not simple, he refused to defend randomly; Yang Xuangan was unable to break through the city for a while. The two armies were at a stalemate.

Yang Guang, who was still in Liaodong, hurriedly ordered to return to the army, and ordered the army of the world to go to encircle and suppress Yang Xuangan, and the second expedition to Goguryeo ended without a problem.

Hua Dao general Wei Wentong, Hu Benlang general Chen Ling, left Yiwei general Yu Wenshu, right Hou Wei general Qu Tutong galloped to aid the eastern capital; Laihu'er in Donglai also stopped attacking Goryeo, and returned to the west, and then Wang Shichong, a palace supervisor of Yangzhou, recruited tens of thousands of horses and horses to go north and enter Henan; They formed a counter-encirclement posture against Yang Xuan, who was besieging Luoyang.

Yang Xuangan's army was in an unfavorable situation of being attacked from all sides, so he regretted it; On July 20, Yang Xuangan accepted Li Mi's suggestion, lifted the siege of the eastern capital, and led his army westward, preparing to seize Guanzhong and fight against Yang Guang.

Yang Xuangan's army marched west to Hongnong, and Hongnong guarded Yang Zhiji to design and let the elders of the Yang family go to see Yang Xuangan and said to him: "Hongnong Palace is empty, and there is a lot of food, so it is easy to fight. In this way, the advance can eliminate the enemy's grain, and the retreat can occupy Yiyang's territory. Yang Xuangan agreed, stayed to attack Hongnong Palace, and fought for three days, but he couldn't beat it.

At this time, Wei Wentong, the general of the flower knife, arrived with his troops and blocked Yang Xuangan's westward advance. Yang Xuangan ordered his younger brother Yang Xuanting to lead his troops to attack Wei Wentong.

As soon as Wei Wentong's army arrived, he had not yet built fortifications, so he and Yang Xuanting set up a battlefield in Beibi Mountain. After more than a dozen battles, Wei Wentong was defeated, and most of his soldiers were lost. In the end, Wei Wentong broke into the enemy formation alone and killed Yang Xuanting in a million troops before forcing the enemy army back.

At this time, the pursuers from all walks of life arrived one after another, and laid down a battlefield of fifty miles in Ruxiang and Shangpandou; Yang Xuangan was defeated several times and was forced to lead more than a dozen people to escape alone.

When he arrived at Jialushu, Yang Xuan felt embarrassed and walked alone with his younger brother Yang Jishan. He knew that he would inevitably die, and said to Yang Jishan: "Things have failed." I can't let people kill me, you can kill me. Yang Jishan drew a knife and hacked Yang Xuangan to death, and then prepared to commit suicide, but he was captured by the pursuers before he died, and was sent to the palace of Emperor Yang of Sui with Yang Xuangan's head.

Yang Guangxia aimed to divide Yang Xuangan's body in Luoyang, and violently corpse for three days, and then cut his flesh into pieces and set him on fire. The remnants were all quelled; Yang Xuangan's brothers, Yiyang Taishou Yang Xuanxian, Yang Wanshuo, and Yang Minxing, were all killed.

Although this rebellion was extinguished in just over a month, it caused a great split in the Sui ruling group, and more than 40 people including the children of nobles and bureaucrats, such as Yang Gongdao, the son of Guan Wang Yang Xiong, and Han Shige, the son of Han Baohu, came to the army, and Zhao Yuanshu, the doctor of Guanglu, and Hu Sizheng, the squire of the military department, also conspired with him. The foundation of the Sui Dynasty was completely corrupted, and its control over the local area was almost equal to zero, and it entered the era of warlord warfare.

Cheng Yanjin looked at the battle report sent back by Shang Huaizhu, and his mood was agitated; The great era has come, and Liang Shanjun can finally show his minions to the outside world. "Drumming, Jujun!" Cheng Yanjin shouted at Dong Qiang, who was close to him.

This Dong Zhuang is the father of Xiao Ni, who was rescued by Cheng Bitingjin's medical team among the refugees in Zhu'a County. After their daughter was rescued, they were homeless and came with Liangshan. Dong Zhuang is tall and strong, and knows some martial arts, and has passed layers of screening to become Cheng Yanjin's personal follower.

"Knock knock!" Dong Zhuang beat the drum fiercely; The big and small leaders of Liangshan came to the Juyi Hall one after another.

Cheng Yanjin sat in the middle, and everyone was on both sides in order; When everyone arrived, Cheng Yanjin first reported on Yang Xuangan's mutiny and the impact of this mutiny on the Sui Dynasty. Then he said to Qin Qiong: "Second brother, have we completed the expansion of our brigades in Liangshan?" ”

Qin Qiong nodded and said: "Don't worry, as soon as our recruitment notice is posted, there will be a cloud of applicants, not only the recruitment of each main battle brigade has been completed, but even the reserve brigade is already full!" There are still a lot of people clamoring to join? ”

Cheng Yanjin said hello; continued: "In the next period of time, our main task is to train troops; I plan to complete this process in two phases in half a year.

The first phase lasted for three months, mainly to train the soldiers and horses, so that the recruits could become familiar with the fighting methods of the Yangsan army; Let them become qualified soldiers.

In the second stage, I will arrange for the brigades to attack in turns, and this time the range of sorties will not be very large, mainly to let the troops see blood and turn them into warriors on the battlefield.

Please ask the second brother to arrange the training work of each brigade and do a good job of supervision and inspection; Please ask the third brother to formulate a plan of action, and it is time for our Liangshan army to attack! ”

Qin Qiong and Li Jing agreed to bow down to receive the order, and all the generals were also gearing up to hold back their strength to perform well.

After the meeting was over, everyone left, Li Jing stopped Cheng Biting Jin and said, "Biting Jin, I want to take a few days off to go to Henan?" ”

Cheng Yanjin was stunned and said, "Is there something wrong with the third brother?" Please be clear. Li Jing smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I don't know what my cousin Han Shixu thinks?" Will it rebel with Yang Xuangan? I heard that he was defeated and fled in chaos, and I wanted to look for him in Henan; After all, my uncle Han Baohu has nurtured me, and I have to repay it! ”

Cheng Biting Jin said with a smile: "I often hear people say that Han Shicao has the style of a father, and he must go first if he doesn't fight; He is a rare general. Since he has this relationship with the third brother, we can't help but save him! In this way, I will let Shang Huaizhu's Tianting troops scatter their hands to inquire, which is better than our purposeless random search.

During this period of time, I just wanted to go to Caozhou to have a look, and the third brother went with me, and we will go to Henan as soon as there is news. Hearing this, Li Jing nodded and thanked Cheng Yanjin, and walked out of the Juyi Hall.
