Chapter 178: Jiangdu Rebellion (I)
Sima Dejiao and the others never thought of killing Yang Guang, they just fled back to Guanzhong with one mind, and after hearing Yuwen Zhiji's words, they were all shocked.
But Sima Dejiao and the others thought about it carefully, and felt that what Yuwen Zhiji said was not unreasonable, after all, if they escaped like this, Dou Xian's experience was close at hand, and they didn't want to let Yang Guang hang his head on the city wall like Dou Xian.
So, after thinking about it again, Sima Dejiao and others agreed with Yuwen Zhiji's opinion.
Zhao Xingshu and Xue Shiliang asked for Xu Gongyu Wenhuahe, the general of the Right Tun Guard, as the leader, because of Yuwenshu's relationship, the Yuwen family has a prestige in the army, and the others also agreed.
After hearing about Yu Wenhua and sex, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he broke out in a cold sweat, he had a good life in Jiangdu, what he wanted, he didn't want to make Yang Guang's rebellion, but although he had the heart to refuse, but seeing that Sima Dejiao and the others were all imposing, if he dared to say half a "no", he was afraid that he would be hacked to death by them.
Yu Wenhua didn't dare not agree, and finally had to choose to follow the arrangement of Sima Dejiao and others.
Sima Dejiao asked Xu Hongren, Zhang Kai and others to go to the Beishen Mansion, and spread rumors to people he knew: "Your Majesty heard that Xiaoguo wanted to rebel and brewed a lot of poisonous wine, and he was going to use the banquet to poison Xiaoguo to death, and planned to stay in Jiangdu only with southerners." ”
After hearing this, the Xiaoguo soldiers were all panicked, and after telling each other, many people had a rebellious heart. If it was an ordinary soldier, out of reverence for the imperial power, it might not be so easy to make the decision to rebel against Yang Guang, but these Xiaoguo soldiers are a bit special.
At that time, in order to stimulate morale, Yang Guang promised a generous reward to everyone in Yanmen Pass, but he regretted it afterwards, and more than 17,000 people worked hard to get their merits, but only a small part of them were rewarded.
The seeds of hatred for Yang Guang by more than 10,000 people were planted at that time.
Later, because of the heavy casualties of Xiaoguo in the battle of Yanmen Pass, Yang Guang took the more than 10,000 people as the backbone, recruited more than 100,000 Xiaoguo, and soon took them to Jiangdu......
Because of their previous hatred for Yang Guang, at this time, under the influence of Sima Dejiao and others, everyone agreed to rebel without any hindrance.
On the tenth day of the fourth month, after thinking that he had been preparing for the rebellion for more than half a month, Sima Dejiao summoned all the Xiaoguo soldiers and announced the plan to launch a rebellion, and the officers all said in unison: "It's all up to the general's orders!" ”
On that day, the wind blew darkly, and at dusk, Sima Dejiao stole out of the imperial stable, secretly polished rusty weapons, distributed armor, and carried out the final preparations before the rebellion.
In the evening, Yuan Li and Pei Qiantong were on duty below, specially responsible for the main hall; Tang Fengyi was responsible for closing the city gates, and Tang Fengyi discussed with Pei Qiantong and others, and the gates were not locked.
This earth-shattering rebellion is about to be launched.
Sima Dejiao and the others did not act in secrecy, so the news that they were about to rebel was learned by Zhang Huishao, the magistrate of Jiangyang County.
Zhang Huishao then galloped to inform Pei Yun, and after Pei Yun discussed with Zhang Huishao, he decided to pretend to be a holy decree to transfer the army outside the Jiangdu to arrest Yu Wenhua, Sima Dejiao and others, and knock on the city gate to rescue Emperor Yang.
After the two discussed this, they felt that the responsibility for counterfeiting the holy decree was too great and they couldn't afford it, so they decided to send someone to report to Yu Shiji, who was the most powerful among the ministers at this time, and Yu Shiji would make that decision, so that he would not be afraid of being punished by Yang Guang afterwards.
However, after Yu Shiji learned the news, he suspected that the rebellion was not true, and he never replied to Pei Yun and others, so Pei Yun, Tang Fengyi and others waited for a long time, but they couldn't wait for the news they wanted, and they missed the last opportunity to save the situation.
At the third watch on April 11, Sima Dejiao gathered tens of thousands of people in Dongcheng, lit a fire and echoed outside the city, and then divided troops to control the main roads everywhere, officially launched a rebellion, Yang Guang suddenly woke up at this time, saw the fire, and heard the noise outside the palace, and asked what happened.
Pei Qiantong of the Suwei Hall replied: "There is a fire in the grass workshop, and the people outside are fighting the fire together." At that time, the main roads inside and outside the palace city had been the first to be isolated by Sima Dejiao and others, Yang Guang believed it after hearing it, and continued to return to the dragon bed to sleep.
Soon, Yuwen Zhihe and Meng Bing gathered more than 1,000 people outside the palace, kidnapped Feng Pule, the waiting guard of the night guard, and deployed troops to guard the streets.
Yang Guang's concubine Sun Yan Wang Yang Qi found that the situation was not right, and entered the palace through the sluice gate by the Fanglin Gate at night, and arrived at the Xuanwu Gate, the Xuanwu Gate in Jiangdu was also like the Xuanwu Gate in Chang'an, for the main road in and out of the palace, Yang Guang had selected hundreds of brave and vigorous officials and slaves, placed in the Xuanwu Gate, called "to the envoy", in case of sudden situations, the treatment was good, and even the palace maid was given to the envoy.
The one who commanded those Xuanwu Gate "envoys" was the Sigong Wei family, although she was a female official in the palace, she was quite martial arts and was good at catering to Yang Guang, so she was very trusted by Yang Guang
Yu Wenhua knew the important surname of Wei, and he colluded with her early on to respond to her. Therefore, on the day of the incident, Wei pretended that the Holy Decree would let all the "envoys" out of the palace, so that at this time in a hurry, none of the envoys from the Xuanwu Sect were present, and they were controlled by Yu Wenhua and the people.
After Yang Qi, the king of Yan, arrived at the Xuanwu Gate at this time, he pretended to the guards and said, "I suddenly had a stroke and am about to die, please let me say goodbye to the emperor in person." ”
Pei Qiantong and the others were not so easy to deceive, and they did not report Yang Qi, but sent troops to lock Yang Qi up.
At dawn on the 11th, all the gates and important streets of Jiangdu City were basically controlled by the rebels, and they began to march towards the palace. Sima Dejiao handed over Pei Qiantong's soldiers and horses to replace those who were still loyal to Yang Guang among the guards of each gate.
Pei Qiantong led hundreds of cavalry from the palace gate to the Chengxiang Palace, and the guards on duty shouted that there were thieves, so Pei Qiantong went back, closed the gates, only opened the east gate, and drove the guards in the palace out, and the guards put down their weapons and went out.
Dugu Sheng, the general of the right guard, was also in the palace of the guards this night, watching the people who drove the guards say to Pei Qian: "Those people's teams, the actions are too strange!" ”
Pei Qian channel: "The emperor is incompetent, greedy Jiangnan does not go, we plan to personally invite him to join us and he will return to Chang'an with us, the situation is already like this, it is none of your business general, you should always be careful, don't act rashly, otherwise be careful of the sword and no eyes!" ”
Dugu Sheng was furious when he heard this, and scolded: "Old thief, what did you say! He said that he didn't care about putting on armor, so he refused to fight with a dozen people around him, and was finally killed by the rebels.
