Chapter 608: Anti-King Siege Jiangdu
Three days later, Li Mi set up an altar outside Xingyang City to worship the sky, set himself up as the king, called the Duke of Wei, Bai Zhai Rang as the Shangzhu State, Situ, Dongjun Gong, and the rest of the cronies under his command were also divided, such as Fang Yanzao was named the marshal Zuo Changshi, Chai Xiaohe was the right Changshi, Cui Shishu was the head of the Marshal Mansion, Xing Yiqi was the secretary, Jia Runfu was Sima, Zu Junyan was Gong Cao, and Wei Zheng was Hu Cao.
Wang Bodang, Xu Shiji, Luo Shixin, Cheng Zhijie, and Shan Xiongxin were named the five generals of the Wagang Army, known as the Five Tiger Generals; And Jia Xiong, Wang Junkuo, Bing Yuanzhen, Zheng Ting, Deng Bao, You Junda and others have all been named generals, which can be described as a wealth of talents and fierce generals.
In order to appease some old Wagang people, Li Mi also sealed Huang Junhan, Wang Ruxin, Zhai Hong and others to some high positions.
After the banner of the Heavenly Sacrifice, the Wagang Army was officially established in accordance with the princely system, and the upper and lower levels were determined, and the titles, salaries, and military discipline laws and regulations were also being formulated in detail.
After Li Mi seized power, he decided to send troops to the Tiger Pass and enter Luoyang in an attempt to achieve a great cause.
The defenders of the Tiger Prison Pass are Pei Renji and his son, with 50,000 soldiers, which is the east gate of Luoyang, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
After discussion, Li Mi sent Xu Shiji, Shan Xiongxin, and Cheng Zhijie to lead troops to attack Tiger Pass.
Send Bing Yuanzhen to guard Xingluocang, because he was originally a Sui Dynasty guard there and was familiar with the terrain of Cangcheng, so as not to be destroyed by other forces.
He also sent Fang Yanzao and Deng Bao to lead troops to conquer the counties near Henan, continue to expand their territory, and recruit new soldiers.
In this way, the Wagang army was like a rainbow, and its prestige chased Dou Jiande directly, becoming the leader of the Central Plains anti-king.
.........
At this time, Du Fuwei, Fu Gongtuo, Lin Shihong, Li Zitong, Liu Yuanjin, Shen Faxing, Zhang Qixu, Wei Qilin, Zhao Wanhai, Zhang Shan'an and other more than 20 rebel armies of all sizes approached Jiangdu County, and attacked it in groups, besieged and annihilated Yang Guang, and completely destroyed the Sui Dynasty.
Yang Guang sent the generals in his entourage to organize the government soldiers of Jiangdu County to resist from all sides, and came to Hu'er, Chen Qi, Zhao Cai, Yu Juluo, Dong Chun, Dugu Sheng, Wang Shichong, Yu Wenhua and other generals to resist and fight with the rebels on the periphery of Jiangdu County.
After a few days of fierce fighting, the Sui armies from all walks of life won and lost, and barely blocked the joint encirclement and suppression of many anti-kings.
On this day, Yang Guang learned the news that Li Yuan had sent troops from Jinyang to attack Daxing City, and he was immediately furious, scolding this Li Yuan for being ungrateful, and even his imperial relatives rebelled.
Yang Guang and Li Yuan are cousins, and their maternal grandfathers are Dugu Xin, but Yang Guang was named the generalissimo of Pingchen in his twenties, commanding an army of 500,000 on a temporary basis, destroying Nan Chen, and then being the governor in Jiangnan, and went back and succeeded in seizing power, and ascended the throne as a younger brother, and Li Yuan has always been low-key, giving people a sense of moderation, and at first glance he is not a person with great ambitions, so he must not be reused and promoted, Yang Guang often makes fun of Li Yuan, jokingly calling him a grandmother, that is, the meaning of grandmother.
Who would have thought that this grandma would be so bold, Jinyang raised troops to abolish him as an emperor and set up a new master, and the discerning people also knew that this was Li Yuan's expedient measure, and his plan was definitely to be the emperor himself.
"The Li family should be killed, why did they miss this big fish in the first place." Yang Guang had a murderous face, was betrayed by his relatives, and had a feeling of being teased by appearances, especially when he thought of the proverb that the Li family should have the world, he hated Li Yuan even more.
Soon, there was another piece of news, which was told by Yu Shiji, that is, the rumor was false, and it was thrown out by Yu Wenshu back then, in order to deal with Li Valve, he deliberately said so.
"Really?" Yang Guang was even more angry.
"This news came out from the north, and it also began to spread in Jiangdu County, it is said that it will soon be known to the world, and the Li family is a conspiracy when the world is in the world, and the people of the Yuwen family saw that Yang Valve had arrived, so they aimed at Li Valve, after all, as soon as these two valves fell, Yuwen Valve was the boss of Guanlong." Yu Shiji analyzed.
Yang Guang's face was cloudy, in order to prevent the appearance of rebels in the country, he deliberately hit Li Valve up and down, Li Hun, Li Min and others were killed, and the implication was very wide, at this time it was realized that it was Yuwenshu a conspiracy to attack political enemies, Yang Guang had a feeling of being deceived.
"Yuwen Shu, this old thing, caused me to eliminate a lot of Li people, kill the wrong loyalty, and shake the country's foundation, it's really an unforgivable sin!" Yang Guang roared, but Yuwenshu was dead, and there was no proof that he was dead, so he could only vent his anger on his son.
So, Yang Guang sent people out of the city and went to the front line to recall Yu Wenhua and Yu Wenzhi, and scolded him on the spot, and he was about to pull out and cut off his head.
Yu Wenhua was very wronged, and kept kowtowing: "Your Majesty, the ministers are wronged, first of all, what my father did has never mentioned to us, so we don't know." Second, this is all rumors, my father is no longer alive, I can't confront him, I think that there must be some people who hate my Yuwen family, so they will make this bad move and frame my Yuwen family, we are loyal to Your Majesty, the sun and the moon can be learned, there is no dissent, please read it in my Yuwen family for several generations for the sake of meritorious service to the royal family, spare me and others. ”
At this time, Yuwen Chengdu also walked into the main hall and knelt on the ground to plead for mercy, so that Yang Guang could take back his beheading life.
Feng Deyi had received a lot of benefits from Yuwenshu before, and stood up at this time and said: "Your Majesty, this matter started from rumors, there is no conclusive evidence, it is difficult to make a conclusion, and this matter may not be a good thing for the imperial court at present, it can smash the proverbial curse of the Li family, so that it can hit Li Mi, Li Yuan, Li Zitong, Li Liang and others, and use proverbs to incite people's hearts." ”
Pei Ju, the squire of the Yellow Gate, also opened his mouth to persuade: "Your Majesty, at present, Jiangdu is under enemy on all sides, and you must not kill the generals of the imperial court because of gossip, otherwise, it is easy to chill the soldiers." ”
Yang Guang calmed down, nodded slightly, and also felt that what a few people said was reasonable, he still had to rely on Yuwen Chengdu to defend the palace, and the power of the Yuwen family in the entourage was not small, and he could no longer follow his temper as before, wantonly killing powerful ministers, or to win people's hearts.
"Since all the ministers are petitioning for the people of the Yuwen family, and I also remember the loyalty of the Yuwen family to the imperial court, this time I will pardon the sins of Er, but Yu Wenhua, Yu Wenzhi and the three brothers will all be cut by two levels, let's not entrust it to be reused, and stay in Jiangdu City." Yang Guang snorted coldly, and he was majestic.
Yu Wenhua and his brothers kowtowed to thank him, covered in cold sweat, but the resentment in his heart had accumulated to the point of boiling.
