Volume 2 Sui Yang's Accession to the Throne Chapter 81 Yang Xuangan's Rebellion (2)
After Li Yuan heard about Zhao Yuankai's incident, he sighed softly, and only wrote in the recital to Yang Guang that Lord Zhao Yuankai was exhausted when he was guarding Jiangzhou, and after the rebellion was quelled, he was busy rewarding the army, and finally died of overwork. In addition, he also told Yang Guang about building a high wall of the rebels' corpses, pointing out that the reason why he did this was because he wanted to warn the people of the world not to be delusional and act arbitrarily. After Yang Guang saw Li Yuan's recital, he laughed. Go to the harem immediately to find Empress Xiao.
"Zitong, Zitong, where are you? Come out of here! I have good news for you. ”
"Your Majesty, what's the good news?"
"Li Yuan quelled the rebellion in Jiangzhou, not only quelled, but also built a wall of the rebels' corpses, which really made me happy!"
"Your Majesty, Li Yuan disposed of the rebels like this, I'm afraid this is 。。。。。。"
"Zitong, I know what you want to say, yes! This may lose some popular support, but it can stop greater turmoil, and Li Yuan is also showing his loyalty to me by doing this, if he wants to rebel, will the people of Longmen in Hedong follow him! Passed the decree and named Li Yuan as the envoy of Hedong Xuanfu. Zhao Yuankai was loyal to the country, and now he died in office, and he was rewarded with a thousand taels of silver to pay for it. When Empress Xiao heard Yang Guang's words, although she was happy for Yang Guang in her heart, she always felt that a great disaster was coming. After Yang Guang named Li Yuan as the envoy of Hedong Xuanfu, he felt that the people of the world had changed one after another, and ordered that Shangshu Weiwen of the Criminal Department was promoted to the envoy of Hebei Xuanfu, and he was stationed in Zhuozhou, Hebei, and was responsible for the support of the Liao army. This time, Yang Guang personally took command, personally drove the expedition, and led an army of more than 200,000 to set foot on the land of Liaodong again. Liyang, Henan, Yang Xuangan's official residence of Xuanfu. Yang Xuangan is handling official business before the public case.
"My lord, this is a military report from Liaodong, the emperor has come again, this expedition is going well, but the supply of grain and grass must be timely."
"Okay, I know, you go and tell the angel that the grain and grass have been transported from Jiangnan, but there is a lack of soldiers to escort them, and there are many pirates and pirates on the waterway, so please send Yang Xuanzong and Yang Wanxiang, the younger brother of the emperor's generals, to Liyang to assist Weichen in handling the grain and grass." After speaking, he glanced at his subordinates, and his subordinates immediately took out a box of silver.
"Lord Yang, this is?"
"I hope that the Lord will do this in front of the emperor!"
"Ahh Lord Yang is polite, by all means! ”
The envoy came to Yang Guang, who was upset because the recent military operations had gone well, but the food and grass supply was not enough, and he temporarily stopped advancing. After listening to the tried, I had some doubts in my heart. 'Fight tiger brothers, father and son soldiers on the battlefield. This Yang Xuangan would not be thinking if he was behind me. But the arrow was on Hyun, so it had to be fired. Now the military operations in Liaodong are more important than anything else, and grain and grass are the top priority.
"Alright! Passed the decree, ordered Wu Benlang to send Yang Xuanzong and Ying Yanglang to Yang Wanxiang to Liyang as soon as possible to assist his brother in escorting grain and grass, hoping that they would live up to my expectations and admire this. After the holy decree was delivered, Yang Guang wrote down three secret decrees and secretly sent them to Zhuozhou, Chang'an, Luoyang and other places, and secretly arranged them before he was relieved.
"Big brother, big brother, we're back."
"Second brother, fifth brother, you are back. All right! It's good to come back, come into the house, wash the dust, and the eldest brother will open a table to pick up the wind for you immediately. ”
"Thank you, big brother." In the evening, the Yang Xuangan brothers were in the study, as well as Wu Benlang's general Wang Zhongbo, Jijun Zanzhi Zhao Huaiyi, Dongguang County Wei Yuan Wuben, Hanoi County Chief Bookkeeper Tang Yi and others, Li Mi and Laihu'er's son Lai Yuan also secretly rushed to Liyang from Chang'an.
"Second brother, fifth brother, how is the situation in Liaodong now!"
"Since the last fiasco, Yang Guang has learned a lesson, except for the major policies, other things are handled by the generals, and the chickens and dogs in the passing cities are not left, and they are not given a little room to breathe, even if they raise the white flag and surrender, they will be killed."
"Humph! I still understand this faint, but I'm afraid that the resistance of the Goguryeo people will be more fierce! ”
"Yes! And also sent a small force to sneak attack the grain and grass of our garrison, if it weren't for this, how could Yang Guang often send people to urge! ”
"This is still a good idea given to me by Brother Wang and Brother Zhao! Let me delay the escort of grain and grass, so that the main force of the Great Sui will be dragged in Liaodong, and Yang Guang will starve to death in Liaodong, and I will have no time to scruple to go to the Central Plains. Li Mi, why didn't Li Jing come with you, how is the movement in Chang'an! Yang Xuangan talked about Li Jing, and Li Mi's face shook inadvertently. Yang Su valued Li Jing's talent, whether it was returning home from the last dynasty or excluding the counterinsurgency on weekdays, he was inseparable, Li Jing also respected Yang Su like a teacher, and repeatedly helped Yang Su solve problems, after Yang Su's death, Li Jing built a grass house in front of Yang Su's tomb, and guarded the tomb for Yang Su for three years together with Hongfu, after three years, Li Jing and Hongfu lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain, Yang Xuangan saw that Li Jing lived a frugal life, and often wanted to send him some gold and silver clothes in the name of visiting old friends, but Li Jing was politely refused, and Yang Xuangan respected Li Jing more and more. And Li Mi came to Liyang immediately after receiving Yang Xuangan's letter, and did not go to Li Jing in the first place.
"Oh! Li Jing happened to be absent, and I heard that he went out to travel with his wife. ”
"Hey! It's a pity, when my father was there, he said many times that he had the talent of a prime minister, and if he could participate, we would definitely get twice the result with half the effort. "When Li Mi heard this, he felt very uncomfortable, and secretly said in his heart: 'I must help Yang Xuangan ascend to the throne of God, and then let the people of the world know that I, Li Mi, also have the talent of a prime minister.' But what he has to do now is how to make Yang Xuangan agree with his status.
"Brother Xuangan, forget it! Li Jing will not have the same heart with us, although he has a grudge against the imperial court, but his loyal and patriotic thoughts will not rebel with us, rather than spending time to let him rebel with us, it is better for us to do it ourselves, the less one person knows about us, the safer we are. Yang Xuan thought about it for a while, and felt that what Li Mi said was also right, Li Jing's uncle Han Baohu's death was unknown, and there were even rumors that Han Baohu's death was assassinated by Emperor Wen and Yang Su, and when his father was alive, Li Jing was in Yang Mansion for a long time, but he did not have a word of resentment towards his father and the court, on the contrary, when his father encountered problems, Li Jing helped Yang Su solve problems many times as a disciple of the house, Yang Su once said that he had many disciples in his life, but the most intimate was Li Jing, but he also secretly said to himself that Li Jing was Wang Zuozhicai, but the orthodoxy is quite strong, and it can be said that the world will be peaceful in the future, but if it is a confidential matter, it must not be revealed to him. Maybe it's my wishful thinking! ’
"Forget it, I don't want to do this, now that we're about to get into trouble, you have a good plan." Li Mi knew that his chance to display his talents had come.
"Brother Xuangan, there are three strategies in the upper, middle and lower, the upper strategy is to attack Zhuojun, defeat Wei Wensheng, occupy Youzhou, strangle Yuguan, cut off the Sui army's grain and grass military aid, and then attack Yang Guang with Goguryeo, so that the Sui army is scattered outside the pass; The middle strategy is to capture Chang'an, occupy the Guanzhong Plain, hold Tongguan, and use it as a base to confront Yang Guang; The next strategy was to attack Luoyang, but Luoyang was located in the Central Plains, and it had nothing to do with the danger to defend, and after it was captured, it was attacked by the Sui army from all directions. After Yang Xuan heard this, he laughed.
"Dharma Master, the next policy you said is exactly the best policy, first, Chang'an is thousands of miles away from Liyang, even if we have an incident now, most of the soldiers recruited are displaced people and prisoners in Henan, you let them leave their hometown to attack Chang'an, thousands of miles away, the army is not aligned, two, starting from the first emperor, Luoyang is also the national capital, and after Yang Guang ascended the throne, he is more in Luoyang, the family members of the hundred official families are mostly in Luoyang, Yang Tong is just a child, Fan Zi is difficult to support alone, after capturing Luoyang, one can show the power of our army, Second, we can take those family members as our military hostages, even if the world's families and court officials are not used by me, they will have some scruples, so it is decided, have a good rest tonight, tomorrow, we will immediately raise troops, control the whole city, and then since Hu'er rebelled in Liaodong, gather troops and march to Luoyang. ”
"Yes!" And they all received their orders together. Tang Yi, the chief secretary of Hanoi County, returned to his room and couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.
"Yang Xuangan is about to rebel, will they succeed just by virtue of them? The Great Sui World is indeed a pile of dry firewood, just a little spark, but can Yang Xuangan succeed? It's better to go with the flow! ”
The next day, Yang Xuangan summoned all the civil and military officials in the surrounding states and counties of Liyang in the name of receiving the emperor's secret decree.
"The emperor sent an envoy to Liyang to deliver a decree to the official, saying that Hu'er was afraid of being condemned by the emperor because of the delay in military affairs, and there were signs of rebellion, so he ordered me to lead the troops to meet him, and you should quickly go to King Qin with the official."
"Ahh How can this be, Lord Yang, you said that Laihu'er rebelled, why did Lai's son, Laiyuan, be here, did you rebel with Laida. After Yang Xuangan finished speaking, an official immediately raised questions, and after Yang Xuangan heard it, he immediately changed his face.
"I think you are a spy who is a thief to protect your son, come and cut this spy for me." After a while, a dead human head was presented.
"Do you have any objections?"
"I'm not waiting, please ask General Yang to order." Lai Yuan, Wang Zhongbo, Zhao Huaiyi, Yuan Wuben, Li Mi and others immediately responded. The other people didn't dare to have any objections when they looked at the knives and guns in the hands of the guards around them, and they were all willing to obey Yang Xuangan's orders.
"Good! Also, this official heard that someone colluded with Laihu'er, just in case, and for the convenience of scheduling, I want to adjust the staffing from the new, the three assassins of Lizhou, Huaizhou and Weizhou are now please hand over the official seal immediately, write an acting appointment document, and temporarily grieve in my mansion, now I appoint Dongguang County Wei Yuanwuben as the acting Lizhou Assassin, Zhao Huaiyi as the acting Weizhou Assassin, and Hanoi County Chief Clerk Tang Yi as the acting Huaizhou Assassin, you are now immediately to the respective territorial councils, there must be no mistake. Li Mi, this official appointed you as the marching Sima, responsible for military planning, Yang Xuanzong, Yang Xuanting, Yang Xuanxian, Yang Wanxiang, Yang Minxing, Yang Jishan, Wang Zhongbo, this official appointed you as a general, rectify the soldiers and horses, and when the grain, grass, soldiers and horses from Weizhou, Huaizhou and other places come together, they will immediately start the army, and the king will rescue them. ”
"Yes!" After Tang Yuan returned to Hanoi County, he immediately found a fast horse and went out of the city under the pretext of having an urgent military situation, and when Yang Xuangan found out, it was already too late.
Ask for a red ticket.
