The eastern capital is Luoyang.

Although Yang Tong, the king of Yue, is nominally the most powerful in Luoyang City, he is only nine years old now, and he is basically an ornament, and the real master is Fan Zigai, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Fan Zigai, the word Huazong, Lujiang people's clan, successively served as Zongyang Thorn History, Chenzhou Thorn History, Wuwei Taishou, Zhuojun Stay-behind and other positions, known for his honesty and prudence, quite won the trust of Yang Guang.

"Fan Shangshu, Yang Xuangan is approaching Luoyang, what should we do?" Yue Wang Yang Tong asked Fan Zigai in a little panic at this time.

A few days ago, when I got the news from Tang Yi, the chief bookkeeper of Hanoi, that Yang Xuan had reversed, Fan Zigai was also very panicked.

But now many days have passed, so he can handle things calmly, "Your Highness, Luoyang is the city's heroic city, as long as we continue to recruit soldiers for defense, Yang Xuan will not be able to capture Luoyang, and the rescue letter has been sent, as long as it is delayed until the rescue soldiers arrive, the victory will be ours!" ”

"Lord Fan's strategy is also too passive, Yang Xuangan claims to be 100,000, but in fact it is only 20,000 or 30,000, and he is still divided, as long as he has 5,000 people with me, I will definitely be able to destroy one of them!" Someone said it arrogantly at this time.

This person's name is Da Xi Shanxin, he is a Xianbei person, Da Xi has produced several famous generals since the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Da Xi Wu, Da Xi Changru and so on are all famous figures, but now, Da Xi is not a famous general, and there are few generals who lead the army.

This Da Xi is not a military general who leads the troops, and his current official position is the county commander of Henan County and Henan County.

Henan County Decree is not a small official, according to the Sui system, Daxing, Chang'an, Henan, Luoyang four county decrees, are all positive five products, and Henan County is near the left of the Son of Heaven, as long as there are political achievements, it is easy to be appreciated, and there is a great chance of promotion.

Although Da Xi is kind and does the clerk, he is dedicated to restoring the martial arts name of Da Xi Clan, but he has never had a chance, and now he heard that Yang Xuangan touched a nail in the small Sour Zao County, and divided his troops, and most of the soldiers were holding single knives and willows, and there were not many bows and arrows and armor. I felt that this was an opportunity to make the Daxi clan's martial name shake the world again, so I volunteered.

Fan Zigai was deeply suspicious of Dasi's good-natured military talents, but under Dasi's kind and bitter request, he reluctantly agreed, and Dasi's goodwill took the order and left.

Henan Zanzhi (Zanzhi is the later Juncheng, from the fourth grade) Pei Hongce pondered in his heart at this time: "If you really let Da Xi Kindness this guy defeat one of Yang Xuangan's armies, then he won't sit on my head?" ”

After thinking of this, Pei Hongce also took the initiative to ask Ying, to meet Yang Xuangan's army, and was willing to make a military order, Fan Zigai thought to himself, since they all agreed to Da Xi's goodwill to fight, it was not good for him to be alone, so he also agreed to Pei Hongce's request.

Da Si led 5,000 soldiers to cross Luoshui and set up camp at the Nanhan Wang Temple on the bank of Luoshui, preparing to meet Yang Jishan's 3,000 men.

The next day, Da Si goodwill got to visit Malay to report that Yang Ji's good soldiers were about to arrive, and Da Si goodwill immediately arranged troops and waited for the battle.

At this time, Da Si is kind and full of confidence. Because he has the advantage of numbers, and he is waiting for work, there is no possibility of defeat at all, "Let me spread the name of the good war of the Da Si clan again in the world today!" ”

Finally, Yang Jishan's soldiers arrived, and the two sides had just confronted each other, and Da Xi was about to convey the order to attack, but found that his soldiers had fled backwards.

"What happened??" Da Si Kindness was momentarily stunned.

"My lord, let the law enforcement team dispatch and stop the rout, otherwise it will be over!" The Henan county lieutenant on the side shouted anxiously.

"I didn't ...... That's right, where is the law enforcement team? When Dasi came back to his senses, he shouted, but no one responded, and it seemed that the face enforcement team had fled.

At this time, after Yang Jishan saw the fighter, he immediately commanded the army to cover up, and Da Xi had no choice but to flee in a hurry under the cover of the personal guards. Yang Jishan continued the pursuit and captured a large number of armored weapons.

The reason why these Sui troops fled without a fight was because they had no fighting spirit at all, and although Yang Su had been dead for many years, his influence on the army was still there, so they were unwilling to fight Yang Su's son, so they fled without a fight.

This is something that Da Xi didn't understand when he died.

The situation was similar to that of Pei Hongce, who led 8,000 elite soldiers to Baisimaban and faced Yang Xuanting's 4,500 men, but was defeated in the first battle, abandoning most of his armor and weapons.

Yang Xuanting did not pursue, Pei Hongce retreated three or four miles, collected stragglers, and rearranged to wait for Yang Xuanting's army.

Yang Xuanting led the army to arrive slowly, the soldiers sat down and rested for a long time, and suddenly rose up to attack the Sui army, Pei Hongce was defeated and retreated, and in this way the two sides fought five times.

On June 16, Yang Xuanting arrived in front of the Sun Gate in Luoyang, Pei Hongce only fled into Luoyang with more than ten cavalry, and no one returned, all of them surrendered to Yang Xuanting.

After these two battles, the prestige of Yang Xuangan's army soared, and there was an uproar in Luoyang City, exclaiming that Yang Xuangan's army was invincible, and people's hearts became floating.

On the 17th, Yang Xuangan soldiers went to the spring gate, stood on the high platform and swore an oath: "As a pillar country, I have accumulated a huge amount of family assets, as for wealth and nobility, I have nothing to ask for, and now I ignore the disaster of extermination, and resolutely raise the flag, without him, but for the world to solve the urgency of hanging!" ”

Yang Xuangan's words achieved a very good effect, as soon as he finished speaking, bursts of cheers suddenly sounded around him, and the fathers and elders competed to offer cattle and wine, and after that, the young strong men came to the gate of Yang Xuangan's military camp to ask for service, and there were thousands of people every day.

Not only ordinary people have taken refuge in Yang Xuangan, but the big families in Luoyang City are no exception.

Wei Fuhei, the governor of Jingzhou and the second son of Wei Shikang, the concubine of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, only brought a dozen people on this day, and then went out of the city to "fight" Yang Xuangan's army, and was captured by Yang Xuangan without accident.

Yang Xuangan treated Wei Fusi with courtesy, and after a little persuasion, Wei Fusi agreed, so Yang Xuangan asked Wei Fusi and his cronies Hu Shitan to jointly take charge of the army's official documents.

The reason why Wei Fusi was able to sneak out of the city gate so easily was because Fan Zigai did not have enough control over Luoyang.

Fan Zigai had always been a local official before, and he was only transferred from Zhuo County to the Eastern Capital as a Beijing official this year, which made many old officials in the Eastern Capital very contemptuous of him, so he rarely reported to Fan Zigai for instructions in military deployment and other aspects.

On this day, Yang Xuangan asked Wei Fusi to write a letter to Fan Zigai, counting the sins of Emperor Yang, Fan Zigai read the letter angrily, and immediately exploded, and tore Yang Xuangan's letter to shreds in a few clicks.
