The next day, Yang Tong summoned the children of the Luoyang left-behind family and the civil and military officials of Luoyang, and announced the news that Yang Xuangan was advancing towards Luoyang after conquering Wei County. There are also people in the province who recommended themselves to Yang Dong and are willing to fight against Yang Xuangan. Regarding everyone's reaction, Yang Tong already knew what to expect in the process of discussing with Fan Zigai.

"In order to prevent Yang Xuangan from continuing to advance south, this king intends to send another general to quell the rebellion, you have a suitable candidate." At this time, Fan Zigai came out of the class and said:

"Your Royal Highness, the old minister recommended Han Shige, the son of the former Shangzhu State and the great general Han Baohu, to be a general, General Han has been brave since he was a child, and his family has a long history, so he should be the right person."

"Oh! General Han, would you like to? Hearing Yang Tong's title, Han Shige knew that he couldn't escape this errand.

"Your Highness rest assured, the minister is willing to receive the order."

"Good! Aiqing is really a pillar of the country. He ordered Henan Ling Daxi to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to resist Yang Jishan's attack, and to be the supervisor and Henan Zanzhi Pei Hongce led 8,000 people to meet Yang Xuanting. General Han led 5,000 elite troops to meet Yang Xuangan's frontal attack. "Fan Zigai sent Han Shige as a general to prevent some Luoyang nobles from colluding with Yang Xuangan, he has a sinister intention, when Han Baohu died unclear, Han Shige's heart must have some resentment, if he is loyal to the imperial court, so that even if he dies in battle, Fan Zigai can ask the imperial court for him some compensation, if he is not loyal to the imperial court, it is just used to combat the arrogance of the Luoyang family. It can also cut off the hidden dangers of Luoyang City.

"In addition, there is one more thing today, isn't there a saying that the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and now the treasury is a little empty, and I hope you will help." Hearing Yang Dong's words, the ministers of the family in Luoyang complained bitterly, this is a plan discussed by Yang Dong and Fan Zigai, let the ministers of the family in Luoyang give money and grain to beat Yang Xuangan, in order to make them turn against Yang Xuangan, even if they surrender to Yang Xuangan in the future, there is no grain and grass to support the rebellion, and when Yang Xuangan does not sit firmly, in order to win people's hearts, they may not do anything to them, but who can guarantee that they will not settle accounts in the future. Thinking of this, some of the leading figures of the ministers of the family already had a plan in their hearts.

"It is the duty of the minister to serve the court, and the minister is willing to donate 5,000 taels of silver and 1,000 stone of grain."

"The minister is willing to donate 10,000 taels of silver and 3,000 stones of grain."

"The minister is willing to donate fifteen thousand taels of silver and fifteen hundred stone of grain。。。。。。。." Looking at the enthusiastic donations of those ministers, Yang Tong's heart was very comfortable.

"Good! Your performance, this king remembers, on the day of the return of the emperor's grandfather, this king will definitely want to ask for credit in front of him. ”

"Your Highness!"

Yang Xuangan's soldiers are mostly people who have not received formal training, holding a single sword and willow shield, and there is no bow and arrow armor, but the morale is high, coupled with the courage of the Yang brothers, and the Sui soldiers are well-equipped but demoralized, so Da Xi's goodwill army collapsed without a fight, Pei Hongce's army was defeated in five battles, and only fled back to the city with more than ten horses, Han Shige was directly surrendered to the enemy before Li Mi's persuasion, Yang Xuangan immediately ordered Han Shige to capture Rongyang, and won the largest granary in the Central Plains for his army, because Rongyang is the nest of the Zheng family, in order to successfully capture Rongyang, Yang Xuangan wrote a letter to Han Shige, asking him to send someone to secretly hand over the letter to his uncle while attacking Rongyang, Zheng Yuantong of Zheng's fifth room, Fan Zigai killed Han Shige's full door under the pretext of killing Han Shige, the minister of the Luoyang family was frightened stupid by Fan Zigai's butcher's knife, Yang Tong also promised the Luoyang left-behind family with the bloody butcher's knife that if the rebellion subsided, they would report their performance to Yang Guang during the incident, and the heart of the minister of the Luoyang family slowly quieted down under the combination of Yang Tong and Fan Zigai's soft and hard work. When the people around Luoyang saw the repeated defeats of the Sui army, they all thought that Yang Xuangan would sit in the world, and immediately a large number of people brought cattle and sheep and good wine to reward Yang Xuangan. Every day, thousands of people come to Yang Xuangan's barracks to serve. Some convicted officials of the Sui Dynasty also began to defect to Yang Xuangan, and Yang Xuangan was greatly pleased. All the way to Shangchun Gate in Luoyang, the number of troops has reached 100,000, Yang Xuan was very happy, and ordered to kill cattle and sheep to reward the three armies. During the banquet, Yang Xuangan said to the people and officials who came to surrender:

"As a Shangzhu country, my family has a huge amount of gold, and I want nothing when I am rich and expensive. Now I don't care about destroying my family and clan, just to relieve the suspense of the people of the world and save the lives of the people of Limin. After Yang Xuangan finished speaking, there was a sound of cheering around him, and Li Zixiong, the former general of the Sui Dynasty's Zuo Wuwei, got up and said to Yang Xuangan:

"The general hangs the people and punishes the crime, crusades against the tyrant Yang Guang, and now Luoyang Gongke is about to take advantage of this glass of wine to ask the general for his life, and ask the general to claim the throne, lead the king's division, remove the tyrant, and settle the world." As soon as Li Zixiong finished speaking, Wei Fusi, a member of the Sui Dynasty who had just been captured, also knelt down and coaxed together, and some of the other people who had just surrendered and Yang Xuangan's other six brothers immediately knelt down to Yang Xuangan, asking Yang Xuangan to ascend the throne as soon as he captured Luoyang. After the dismissal, Li Mi said to Yang Xuangan alone:

"General, this Li Zixiong and Wei Fusi have ill intentions, now Luoyang has not been conquered, Yang Guang is not dead, there is a small court in Chang'an, Li Zixiong wants you to be the emperor, this is to point the spearhead of the world at you, and Wei Fusi, when you first started the army, you asked him to help you draft the uprising documents, he didn't do it, you let him give advice, he shirked, and now he is so enthusiastic about your emperor, I think he is a spy who has mixed into our army. You must beware of these two people! Yang Xuangan listened to Li Mi's words and laughed.

"Master, you have a lot of heart! In the future, everyone will be in the same palace, and we must still unite sincerely! Li Mi found that Yang Xuangan had not yet sat on the dragon chair, so he put on the emperor's prestige, and he was very disgusted, so he had to withdraw from Yang Xuangan's camp. He turned around and spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm.

"Phew! You have not succeeded in rebelling now and put the emperor's score, I think you will fail sooner or later, and I will wait to be a prisoner. "Li Mi left Yang Xuangan's camp, and Yang Xuangan secretly said in his heart: 'Dharma Master, even if you have the talent of prime minister, I will be the future emperor in the future, and there are some things that you can't let alone have the final say.'

In the city of Luoyang, the whole city is under martial law, because Han Shige defected to the enemy, Yang Tong invited all the families of the civil and military officials in the city into the Luoyang Palace in the name of preventing spies from secretly coercing the ministers, and the ministers knew that Yang Tong was taking them hostage, but one by one they still shouted that the prince was wise. In addition, in order to strengthen the defense of Luoyang, Fan Zigai did not return home every day, and patrolled the four gates of Luoyang day and night, constantly comforting the officers and soldiers. Yang Xuangan also knew that Fan Zigai was the core figure of Luoyang's defense, and he came to Shangchun Gate on this day.

"Please Fan Laoshangshu come out and speak!" The soldiers defending the city did not know who he was.

"Which one are you?"

"Under Yang Xuangan! Ask to see Fan Laoshangshu and ask him to come out and speak. When the surrounding soldiers heard that it was Yang Xuangan, they all looked at him curiously.

"That's Yang Xuangan, doesn't he say that he looks like Xiang Yu Guan Gong, one foot and three feet long? Why isn't it that high! ”

"Didn't he say he had a pair of wings behind him? Can you go straight to the skies? How is it not. ”

"Go, isn't it a goblin if you have wings?" The soldiers in the city were talking nonsense, but they didn't see that Fan Zigai had come.

"Bang!" Fan Zigai coughed twice, and when everyone saw him, they were a little overwhelmed. Fan Zigai didn't say anything, and walked directly to the city tower.

"Traitor, Fan Zigai is here, if you have something to say, say it quickly! If there's a fart, let it go! As soon as these words came out, the soldiers of the Sui army on the city tower laughed, and even the guards around Yang Xuangan also felt funny, and they didn't dare to hold back, but their bodies were still trembling. Yang Xuan felt a little annoyed in his heart, but now was the time to buy people's hearts.

"My lord said and laughed, I am not a traitor, but I originally heard that the emperor was in distress in Liaodong, and I originally wanted to go to Liaodong King Qin to rescue the driver, who knew that the soldiers under his command said that the court is now in chaos, out of the faint king, King Qin is not as good as the young lord now, in the lower view of the adult's talent, I think you are succumbed to Yang Guang, as long as you are willing to submit to me, we will assist Yang Dong together, and after the world is decided, how about sealing you a word side by side king! How is the hereditary replacement of children and grandchildren. ”

"Traitor, my Fan Zigai has been loyal and good for generations, how can I be with you, a traitor, what is the king side by side, what descendants are hereditary, what do you think you are, a little snake just grew up and wanted to say that he was Jackie Chan, you are also worthy, what is the auxiliary young master, what is the king of Qin's rescue is a fart, the emperor is now in Zhuozhou, and he will copy your back road in a few days, Chang'an's reinforcements are about to arrive, you just wait to kill the head!"

"Fan Lao Shangshu, Yang Jian won the world with treacherous and deceitful power, Yang Guang killed his father and steamed his mother, and since he ascended the throne, he has built a lot of buildings, reckless and reckless, provoked the anger of the heavens, and the common people sell their sons and daughters, I am now living here with an army of 100,000 troops, and the people in the Gong and Luo areas have dragged cattle and sheep to reward our army, and the hearts of the people in the world have been submissive to me, I think you still don't want to be obsessed, why do you end up with a dead and no place to be buried?" Yang Xuangan thinks that he is eloquent, and what he says is sincere, even if Fan Zigai is hard-hearted, he should be moved by him, but he still underestimates Fan Zigai.

"Enough, traitor, my Fan Zigai is deeply favored by the emperor, and will definitely not be in the same stream with you, and what if you say that you have an army of 100,000, according to the old man, it is just a group of rabble, the old man wants to persuade you, let go of your ambitions, don't mistake the lives of tens of millions of people with the selfishness of one person, people outside the city listen, Yang Xuangan rebelled, whether it succeeded or not, you are all a death, the old man advises you, put down your weapons and go home to farm, don't follow Yang Shun." After speaking, he shot an arrow at Yang Xuangan, Yang Xuangan quickly dodged, and the arrow crossed Yang Xuangan's face, leaving a bloody mark, and Yang Xuangan was furious.

"Old thief Fan, I must kill your whole family after I break through the city. to relieve the hatred in my heart. Give me my orders, and attack the city at once. After the city is broken, everything in the city belongs to everyone, and you can grab it as much as you want. Those who capture Yang Dong alive will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and those who take the head of Fan Zi will also be rewarded with a thousand gold. Yang Xuan was furious when he was injured, and immediately ordered the soldiers behind him. When Li Mi heard this, he immediately persuaded him.

"General, don't do it, Luoyang lives in the middle of the world, there are many families who buy real estate, if we plunder, we will offend the world's families, don't do it!"

"What do you know, Zhuozhou Wei Wensheng's army and Chang'an's Sui army are about to arrive, if we don't capture Luoyang immediately, the world will not be in chaos, and then our army will be attacked from three sides, as long as Luoyang is captured, the world will definitely shake, even if the world is not chaotic, we can also take Yang Tong as a hostage. Kill me. After Yang Xuangan gave the order, the soldiers under his command fell into a complete madness, the two sides rained down arrows, and the fight was inseparable, and the morale of Yang Xuangan's side looked even higher, under the stimulation of gold and silver treasures and beauties, they were even more fierce and not afraid of death. At this critical moment, a fast horse came to Yang Xuangan's side.

"Report! The general, General Han Shige's army was defeated by Rongyang, and Wei Wensheng led an army of 20,000 troops to approach the rear of our army, please make a decision. Hearing this news, Li Mi's heart was even more worried about the battle situation. Yang Xuangan was even more furious:

"Han Shige, this stupid person, has ruined my big thing. Withdrawal! The Sui army on the city tower cheered happily when they saw Yang Xuangan's army retreating. Yang Xuangan returned to the camp tent and saw Han Shige kneeling there with a bandage. I hate to death in my heart.

"Say! What the hell is going on? Han Shige slowly told the story.
