Chapter 66: Their Means

Yang Xuanganzhi said: "...... Today, the compilation of the treasure calendar, it is advisable to consolidate the Hongji, but to cut itself off from the sky, and destroy the people and lose morality. After many years, thieves multiplied, and the people withered away. If you are obscene and drunk, your children will be invaded by it, and you will play with eagles and dogs, and all birds and beasts will be free from its poison. Friends fan each other, bribe the public, accept evil words, and Du Zheng's mouth. It was transferred endlessly, the remote service was indefinite, the soldiers filled the ravines, and the bones covered the fields. In the north of the Yellow River, there is no smoke for thousands of miles, and between the Yangtze River and the Huai River, it is a lush grass.

Xuan felt the grace of the world, ranked as a general, and the first public edict said: 'The good descendants will be my assistants, and the evil descendants will be deposed for me.' Therefore, the first will of the people, the lower will be obedient to the people's will, abolish this obscenity, and establish a clear philosophy. The four seas are concentric, Kyushu responds, the soldiers use their lives, such as going to private affairs, the people tend to each other, and the righteousness is fair. Providence is more knowable. The public guards the lonely city, how can it be supported for a long time! I am willing to think of Qianli, take the community as the heart, do not stick to small courtesies, and self-esteem. Who is the country, once it comes to this, the pen is full of words. ”

As far as the letters before the two armies are concerned, Yang Xuangan's letter can be said to be written at a considerable level, and the first half of the letter counts Yang Guang's crimes, which are true and false, and false and true, making it difficult for ordinary people to distinguish and think it is true.

In the second half, he threw out a big killing weapon, saying that the reason why he rebelled was because his father Yang had the edict of Emperor Wen of Sui, which could get rid of the evil descendants for the royal family.

That's why Fan Zigai was so angry after reading the letter.

Looking at Fan Zigai's hideous face at this time, the officials around him didn't dare to take a breath.

Fan Zigai glanced at all the officials, he also knew that the biggest worry in Luoyang now was not outside the city, but within the Xiao Wall, if he couldn't fully control Luoyang in a short period of time, Yang Xuangan would definitely be able to enter the city easily.

If you want to control Luoyang, you must first establish power, and the most rapid way to achieve the effect of Liwei is naturally to kill people.

Fan Zigai looked at Pei Hongce, who had lost the previous battle against Yang Xuangan, "Yang Xuangan is too arrogant, Pei Zanzhi, you will lead the troops to fight again and extinguish his arrogance!"

How can Pei Hongce still have the courage to fight at this time? Immediately and resolutely expressed their unwillingness to fight.

Fan Zigai showed a weird smile on his face, "Come on, take this disobedient person out for me and behead him for public display!" ”

With his order, several armor soldiers rushed in murderously, and then pulled Pei Hongce out, and not long after, one of the armor soldiers came in with a bloody head, and Pei Hongce, who was a dignified member of the fourth grade, died like this.

Yang Wang, a priest of the country and a native of Hedong, immediately vomited for a long time after seeing the head, and said with a blue face: "This is too unusual, how can a fourth-grade master say that he will kill?" This Luoyang is not your surname Fan! ”

Fan Zigai looked at Yang Wang again, "You also want to try the taste of the head falling to the ground?" Then I will fulfill you! ”

Saying that, he waved his hand to the armorer, Yang Wang immediately broke out in a cold sweat, he was just a momentary distraction, but he didn't want to give his life like this, so he immediately kowtowed to Fan Zigai and begged for mercy.

Killing people, the most important thing is to grasp the scale, if you kill everyone in danger, then this Luoyang City will probably be opened tonight.

So, when Yang Wang knocked his head and bled out, Fan Zigai promised to spare him from death.

From this day on, the generals and officials of the Eastern Capital were shocked and respected, and they did not dare to look directly at Fan Zigai anymore, and Fan Zigai was banned in the Eastern Capital.

On June 21, Yang Xuangan had 60,000 troops, and then used all his forces to storm Luoyang City, but the eastern capital had sufficient troops, with a population of nearly one million, and Fan Zigai's control at this time was greatly strengthened, enough to defend.

Therefore, Fan Zigai led his troops to hold on for many days according to the military situation, but Yang Xuangan still couldn't conquer the city.

However, those high-ranking officials who were recruiting troops to rescue the Eastern Capital did not dare to enter the city after hearing the news of Pei Hongce's execution, and took refuge in Yang Xuangan one after another.

Among them, Han Shige, the son of the famous general Han Baohu, Yang Gongdao, the son of Yang Xiong, the king of Guan, Yu Rou, the son of Yu Shiji, Lai Yuan, the son of Laihu'er, Pei Shuang, the son of Pei Yun, Zheng Yan, the son of Zheng Shanguo, Dali Qing, and Zhou Zhong, the son of Zhou Luo, and more than 40 people, Yang Xuangan awarded them all the positions that his cronies wanted.

After this incident, the momentum of Yang Xuangan's army skyrocketed again, causing more people to come to defect, so Yang Xuangan's people fought more and more, and soon the number of troops reached more than 100,000.

……

Liaodong City could not be captured for a long time, Yang Guang was worried that he would rebel since he learned that Yang Xuangan's brother had fled, but he was unwilling to withdraw his army, so he had to send people to inquire about the information, and on the other hand, he adopted Su Wei's strategy, and sent people to make more than one million cloth bags, each cloth bag was filled with soil, and planned to use the cloth bags to pile up into a ramp thirty steps wide and as high as the city wall, like a fish's backbone, so that the soldiers could attack the city.

Yang Guang also ordered someone to make an eight-wheeled building car, which was higher than the city wall and set up on both sides of Yuliang Road, intending to shoot down to kill the people in the city.

As soon as these two methods came out, the pressure on the Goryeo army in Liaodong City suddenly doubled, and they gradually became a little unable to resist.

Liaodong City was in danger, and the Sui army was about to break through this blood-stained city, Yang Guang's face finally showed a smile, but at this moment, the official document reporting Yang Xuan's rebellion was finally delivered to him.

Yang Guang was frightened, he could turn a blind eye to those rebellions across the country, because he knew that those rebellions were not a big threat to his throne, and a group of mud-legged people would grab something and kill some people, what else could they do?

Yang Xuangan is different, Hongnong Yang has been a top wealthy family since the Western Han Dynasty, and his father Yang Su is a powerful figure in the world, if Yang Xuangan can get Luoyang or Guanzhong, there will definitely be many other people who fall to him.

At that time, it is impossible to say who will sit on the throne of this emperor.

Yang Guang asked Nayan Su Wei to enter the tent, told him about Yang Xuan's rebellion, and then said worriedly: "I'm afraid this son is going to become a big disaster." ”

Su Wei said: "Yang Xuangan is careless, there is no need to rebel for him, as long as he captures Luoyang or enters Guanzhong, let the reinforcements join the siege, he will definitely be defeated." After Su Wei said this, he frowned and said, "However, I'm afraid that this matter will gradually become the source of shaking the foundation of the country." ”

Yang Xuangan was the first wealthy nobleman to rebel against the Sui Dynasty, but I'm afraid it was not the last, the rebellion of ordinary people could not shake the foundation of the Sui Dynasty, but if the wealthy nobles everywhere participated in the rebellion, this day would change greatly......
