Shi Wansui's head still did not rise, and there was a hint of heaviness in his voice: "General Wang, I just received a military report, Li Guangshi, the leader of the Lingnan Guizhou Slang People's Congress, rebelled a month ago, and the rebellion spread to twenty prefectures and counties, the emperor has urgently ordered the pillar king Shiji to recruit Lingbei troops to quell the rebellion, and Zhou Fashang, the general of Shangkaifu, to recruit Lingnan soldiers to set off first, it seems that we have to move faster here, and we must not lose to Wang Shiji!"

Wang Shichong's head "boomed", but he immediately regained his composure, nodded, and asked, "What's going on?" I know this Li Guangshi, he surrendered to our army back then, and he also made great contributions in suppressing Wang Zhongxuan's rebellion, how could he turn it back in a good way? ”

Shi Wansui sighed and said to the black-faced strong man standing beside him, "Sutuo, let's talk about it." ”

Wang Shichong looked at Shi Wansui's side, only to see a full-body, majestic, eight-foot-long general rushed at Shi Wansui, stood up, this person is about thirty years old, Danfeng eyes, lying silkworm eyebrows, three long whiskers under the jaw fluttering, high nose and wide mouth, eyes like eagle falcons, if it is not for the black face, as if Guan Gong is alive, Wang Shichong saw this person at first glance, and secretly praised in his heart, he is a good man.

The black-faced "Guan Gong" arched his hand at Wang Shichong: "General Wang, the humble position is Zhang Xutuo, the governor of the Xiaoguo army, this time I was ordered by the Ministry of War to rush from Daxing for 800 miles, and inform Marshal Shi of the Lingnan rebellion. ”

Wang Shichong had heard of the prestige of this Zhang Xutuo when he was in Daxing, this person was a native of Hongnong Township, Henan, and joined the army with a weak crown. Zheng Nan Chen. When Pingjiang was in the south of the Yangtze River, he made military achievements. From a soldier to an officer, he later ranked as the champion of the year in the military competition on the fan, joined the Xiaoguo Army, with infinite strength, bravery, and when he was a teenager, he had to teach martial arts and the art of war, and he was a real general of ten thousand enemies. Obviously, he also wanted to stay in the army on the spot and make contributions in this Ningzhou expedition.

Wang Shichong quickly reviewed Zhang Xutuo's background and nodded, now he is more concerned about the situation in Lingnan: "Zhang Dudu, you tell me about the situation in Lingnan in detail, I have the impression that Li Guangshi is very obedient, and he has also seen the power of our army back then, and I remember that he moved his tribe out of Guizhou in the southwest and moved to the vicinity of Panyu to settle down, how can you say that it is the other way around?" ”

Zhang Xutuo smiled slightly: "General Wang may have been away from Lingnan for a long time. I don't know much about the situation there in the past few years, so please let me tell you more about it. Zhang Xutuo then gave an overview of the situation in Lingnan in the past six years:

After Wang Shichong and Pei Shiju pacified Lingnan. Everything was implemented according to the original plan, and Mrs. Xian also personally accompanied Pei Shiju, the governor ambassador sent by the imperial court, to patrol the prefectures and counties of Lingnan all the way, and announced that the chiefs and cave masters of all ethnic groups in Lingnan came to see Pei Shiju to show their loyalty.

Gao Qianli, the leader of the South China Sea, Chen Tan, the leader of Cangwu, Feng Cen Weng, the leader of Gangzhou, Deng Matou, the chief of Lianghua, Li Guangluo, the chief of Tengzhou, Pang Jing, the chief of Luozhou, and Li Guangshi, the leader of Guizhou, all expressed their support for the Sui Dynasty under the leadership of Mrs. Xitai.

These people had more or less participated in Wang Zhongxuan's rebellion, but under the guarantee of Mrs. Xian, Pei Ju only educated and comforted them and let them go back, and still let them lead their own tribes, so Lingnan was finally completely pacified, and there was no name for it in the past two or three years.

As for Li Guangshi, after taking those rebellious tribes to exterminate the three tribes headed by Wang Zhongxuan, because he was an outsider from Guizhou, the weakest was deliberately raised to a very high position by Wang Shichong, and Li Guangshi himself used chicken feathers as an arrow in the process of counterinsurgency, which caused the jealousy and dissatisfaction of other indigenous tribes.

When Pei Shiju left Guangzhou, the new Panzhou assassin Zhao Ne took office, Li Guangshi in order to maintain his position, in the hometown of Wang Zhongxuan's tribe, he did not hesitate to bribe Zhao Ne with looted property, Li Guangshi was only a small tribe leader of a few thousand households, but in the process of suppressing the rebellion of the three departments, there were more than 100,000 households, Guizhou's hometown and the new territory of the South China Sea added up to thousands of miles of territory, and even Mrs. Xian gradually disappeared in his eyes.

This Zhao Ne is also a huge greed, relying on the high emperor Yuan, he monopolized the power in Lingnan, so he colluded with Li Guangshi, supported and instructed Li Guangshi to vigorously develop his own power, a few years later, not only those tribes in Lingnan who participated in the rebellion could not bear the suffering, even Mrs. Xian's headquarters was mostly harassed by Li Guangshi's doglegs who stayed in Guizhou to watch his hometown.

As a result, Mrs. Xian couldn't swallow this breath, and sent the governor of the palace Shi to Daxing to write to the imperial court, accusing Zhao Ne of corrupting the law in Fanzhou, befriending Qu Shuai, and plotting against him.

Li Guangshi lost his backer, knowing that the catastrophe was coming, he couldn't stop worrying, and overnight he coerced the population tribes of the new territory in the Panyu area (mostly the remnants of the three rebel tribes in the past), fled back to his hometown in Guizhou, and heard that the new governor of Guangzhou of the imperial court, Ling Huxi, was about to lead the troops to take office, and the first task was to arrest himself.

The last time in Wang Zhongxuan's rebellion jumped up and down the dog-headed military division Ren Gui, in recent years in Lingnan like a lost dog, hiding in Tibet, because the Lingnan departments were afraid of the Sui army last time, no one dared to take him in, as a result, Ren Gui had to hide in Jiaozhou Li Fozi, just happened to meet Li Guangshi sent someone to ask for help, so he took his heart and took his cronies to tie up this messenger, fled to Mrs. Xian, surrendered to the Sui Dynasty, and reported Li Guangshi's plan to rebel.

Because Ren Gui's report was very timely, Yang Jian pardoned his sins, and sent Wang Shiji and Zhou Fashang to Xiangzhou and Fanzhou in the starry night, and hurriedly went to Xiangzhou and Fanzhou to recruit and mobilize local garrisons on the spot, and prepare to quell the rebellion together.

After hearing all this, Wang Shichong sighed: "The world is really changeable, when Wang Zhongxuan was pacified, Li Guangshi was a hero of the imperial court, and Ren Gui was a wanted criminal, in just a few years, Ren Gui atonement for his sins and was pardoned, but Li Guangshi became another rebel leader, which is really unbelievable." By the way, what does the rebellion in Lingnan have to do with our pacification of Ningzhou? Why did Zhang Dudu come to report the news? ”

Before Zhang Xutuo could speak, Shi Wansui on the side smiled and said: "Sutuo was specially stayed in the military department before the expedition, at that time, Mrs. Xian of Lingnan had already arrived at the imperial court, the emperor was furious, and sent the imperial history to verify, no matter whether Mrs. Xian's report is true or not, there may be a rebellion in Lingnan, either Li Guangshi or Mrs. Xian, so Gao Servant shot let Ben Shuai leave a powerful person to listen to the news in Daxing, and as soon as there was a military report from Lingnan, he quickly notified Ben Shuai. ”

Zhang Xutuo continued: "Yes, two months ago, before Marshal Shi set off, he ordered the military department of the military department to wait, the land of Guizhou is connected to the earthquake in the area of Qianzhong, and relying on independence for decades, he has been encroaching on the Jiaozhou thief Li Fozi who has encroached on the land of Lingnan.

Therefore, Gao Servant Shooting means that these three forces cannot be allowed to collude together, and when the time comes, a tail will be formed in the south, and if it is not done well, it may cause a super rebellion in Ningzhou, Qianzhong, Lingnan, and Jiaozhou, thousands of miles, and millions of people, and the entire south will be shaken, and if it cannot be quickly pacified, it will affect the war against the Turks. ”

Wang Shichong's face became grim, just a few days ago night, he received a secret report from An Suiyu, the Eastern Turkic Dulan Khan and the Western Turkic Datou Khan had reached an agreement, and joined forces to eliminate the leading party that defected to the Sui Dynasty, it seems that the decisive battle with the Turks is also imminent, two-front combat has always been a taboo, and it is impossible for the imperial court to fight a southern war at the same time at this time.
