Yang Guang slowly looked at Yuhang County's distress call, and looked at Xiangyang County's report on the South China Association, his face became more and more gloomy, and a kind of anger that was deceived and concealed burned in his heart, but Yang Guang still restrained the annoyance in his heart, and said to Yang in a soft voice: "You have done a good job in this matter, but don't take it too seriously, this kind of little thief is not to worry, you go!" ”

Yang Yin wanted to mention Yang Yuanqing's matter, but his lips moved, and he didn't speak in the end, so he had to bow down and salute, "Grandson retires!" ”

Yang Yin slowly retreated, waiting for his grandson's back to disappear, Yang Guangcai slapped the table heavily, and said angrily: "Xuanyu Shiji is here to see me!" ”

After a while, Yu Shiji hurried over, he saw the two books on the imperial case at a glance, and his heart suddenly suddenly, and he hurriedly saluted, "See Your Majesty!" ”

Yang Guang grabbed the fold and smashed it at him, "You explain to me, what's going on!" ”

Yang Guang's voice was extremely high, showing the anger in his heart, even if he rebelled without a home, he had never been so angry, the rebellion in the south undoubtedly broke through his bottom line, which made him intolerable.

Yu Shiji wiped the sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly explained: "The ministers of these two books know that the ministers have sent them back and asked them to report them again, and the ministers think that there are some things in this book that are inappropriate and will mislead Your Majesty." ”

"What's wrong, you say!" Yang Guang stared at him viciously.

Yu Shiji thought about it quickly, and said cautiously: "Xiangyang County about the matter of the Nanhua Society, the minister saw that most of his performances were full of speculation, and there were many words like 'maybe, perhaps', and Taishou Wu Qun did not come up with evidence, and the minister called back, so he asked him to come up with evidence and then play." ”

"What about the rebellion in Yuhang County?" Yang Guang's anger calmed down a little.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the minister is the auditor, and he knows the situation over there very well, and the minister thinks that the Yuhang County Dashou has exaggerated in the twists and turns, or he has concealed the facts, and the minister called back and ordered him to rewrite.

"Exaggerating what? Conceal what to say! ”

The reason why Yu Shiji was favored by Yang Guang was that he had a thorough understanding of the emperor's heart, he knew what to do, how to answer, if it was a rebellion in the Central Plains, he would say that he was afraid of affecting Yang Guang's rebellion, afraid of affecting Yang Guang's mood, because Yang Guang himself did not care about the rebellion in the Central Plains.

And Jiangnan rebelled, he must not say this, saying this will only show that there is a problem with his ability to handle government affairs, he must say that he has dealt with it very seriously, but the other party has a problem, so he retreats so that Yang Guang can accept his explanation.

Yu Shiji also explained: "The land in the south of the Yangtze River is rich and the water source is abundant, the grain is cooked twice a year, it is a rich land of fish and rice, where there is a little labor, you can feed yourself, no matter how poor, set up a net by the stream and river, and the fish and shrimp obtained every day are also subsistence If the ordinary people do not eat to the extent of eating, they will not rebel, and it is a bit exaggerated to say that 200,000 rebels in the compromise, unless there is a Jingchen chaotic party in which the people are inciting rebellion against the Sui Dynasty, that is another matter, but there is no mention in the compromise, The minister thought that it was either an exaggeration or a concealment of the facts, so the minister called back and asked the magistrate to play again. ”

At this time, the anger in Yang Guang's heart has completely disappeared, Yu Shiji said very reasonably, he picked up the fold again and read it carefully, there is indeed no mention in the fold that there are officials from Nanchen who participated in the rebellion, but with Yang Guang's understanding of the south, there are many southern scholars who are dissatisfied with the Sui Dynasty, how can they be indifferent?

Yang Guang walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, pondering for a long time, he could tolerate the chaos of Qilu and Yanzhao, but he could not tolerate a rebellion in the south, which would destroy his plan, Yang Guang was especially worried that Nan Chen would resurgence and cause a split between the north and the south again, and he was not ambiguous at all in the matter of the rebellion in the south, and he did not dare to be careless at all.

He immediately said to Yu Shiji: "Regarding the matter of the South China Society, the cabinet can order the magistrates to investigate in detail, and if there are any remnants of the Liang Dynasty, they will all be exterminated, and they must not be soft." ”

"Obey the order!"

Yang Guang thought for a while and said: "Spread my will, and order the general of Zuotunwei, Tu Wanxu, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, each leading 30,000 troops, to go to Jiangnan to suppress the rebellion." ”

Yu Shiji was taken aback, "Your Majesty, is it proper for Yujuluo to lead the troops?" ”

Yang Guang shook his head and smiled: "Without the water in Fengzhou, he can't toss this fish." ”

"Your Majesty sees people thoroughly, and he is really clever!"

Yu Shiji flattered, and asked cautiously: "Then Yang Yuanqing, is Your Majesty ......?"

Yang Guang pondered for a moment, sighed and said: "There are priorities, his affairs are not urgent, first wipe out Yang Xuangan's rebellion and homeless rebellion, and then after pacifying the south, I will go back and clean him up." ”

In the middle of July of the ninth year of the great cause, Yang Guang's main force crossed the Yellow River from Lishi County into Longyou, the general Xue Shixiong and the general Xin Shixiong each led an army of 50,000 to kill Honghua County, Shuangxiong exerted force, defeated the 60,000 Guan Long soldiers recruited by no home in Honghua County, Wuji, the brother of Wushou and the second son Yuan Shangjun were killed, and the 100,000 army immediately killed to Fufeng County, Wuhong Juan led the army of 80,000 to meet the battle outside the Great Earthquake Pass, the three battles were defeated, the army was scattered, Wuhong Juan knew that the general trend had gone, and led more than 10,000 people to flee to Xiping County in panic......

At the same time, the general Qu Tutong led 50,000 troops to attack Fufeng County, Fufeng County was empty, and it was defeated in a battle, the army surrounded Renshou Palace, Wushou committed suicide by taking poison, and the puppet emperor Yang Xiu surrendered, but Qu Tutong was beheaded at the foot of Renshou Palace Mountain for the crime of impersonating the royal family, and more than 30 civil and military officials were sent to Zhuo County for disposal......

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty immediately ordered the purge of the Guanlong clan, and all those involved in the homeless rebellion were all killed, and more than 1,000 Guanlong households were raided, and nearly 50,000 people were killed, including more than 2,000 Guanlong nobles...... was also dismissed and killed.

Among them, Li Yuan was rewarded for being the first to condemn the rebellion of the Wu clan and beheaded Yuan Shangwu, and the Dugu clan was a relative, and at the same time did not participate in the rebellion of the Wu clan and was spared, and the Dou family was also spared because of the meritorious service of sending troops to defend Chang'an.

The rest of the Hou Mochen family, the Yu family, the Yuwen family, the Zhao family, etc., were all hit hard.

In the eastern part of the Kanto, Yang Xuangan's 200,000 army attacked Tongguan, but was Hu Benlang's general Song Laosheng led 5,000 Sui troops to defend Tongguan, Yang Xuangan's army attacked for eight days and eight nights and failed to break through Tongguan, and at this time Yuwenshu's army and Laihu'er's army chased after, the two sides fought outside Tongguan, Yang Xuangan's army training and equipment were far inferior to each other, Yang Xuangan was defeated in seven battles, Li Zixiong was killed, and Yang Xuangan led tens of thousands of remnants of the army to Hongnong County to flee.

The Sui army divided its troops into two routes, came to Hu'er and marched into Guanzhong, and Yuwenshu continued to pursue and kill the remnants of Yang Xuangan, but in Hongnong County, Yang Xuangan got the help of the Yang clan and captured Zhuyang Pass, Yuwenshu pursued with light troops, and the supply line was cut off by Yang Wei with 500 Yang soldiers, so that Yuwenshu was cut off from food, and he could not attack Zhuyang Pass for a long time, so he was forced to retreat to Lushi County.

The remnant sun is like blood, the fiery afterglow shines on the broken wall of Zhuyang Pass, Yang Xuangan sits on a female wall, looking at the reckless Funiu Mountains in the distance, his heart is infinitely lost, recalling the scenery of the army, and the high spirits when he attacked Luoyang, at this time he is as depressed as a lost dog, less than 10,000 of the 200,000 army remain, although the Yuwenshu army is defeated, but the strength is far stronger than him, once his supplies arrive, he will still be defeated, Yang Xuangan sighed for a long time, where should he go?

"Big brother, Yang Wei is here!" Yang Jishan pointed to the mountain road in the distance and shouted.

Yang Xuangan stood up, he also saw that a group of soldiers were coming towards Zhuyang Pass, the tall and fat Yang Wei was riding on a camel, with iron helmets and iron armor, holding two sledgehammers, majestic, and a young general beside him, his face was as white as jade, his face was delicate, wearing bright silver armor, holding a bright silver spear, a treasure carving bow on his back, riding a majestic white horse, heroic, which surprised Yang Xuangan, who is this person?

After a while, Yang Wei entered the pass, and he brought the young general forward to meet Yang Xuanli.

Yang Wei knelt down and saluted, "Yang Wei knocks to see the head of the family!" ”

Yang Xuan hurriedly helped him up, and said with emotion: "Wei'er, this time thanks to you for cutting off the Yuwen Grain Dao, otherwise the Yang family will be wiped out." ”

Yang Wei said with a smile: "I was ordered by the chief manager to stay in Hongnong, just waiting to pick up the head of the family." ”

"Yuanqing!"

Yang Xuangan was stunned, he saw Yang Wei nodded, Yang Xuan's nose was sour, tears welled up in his eyes, only when he failed and fell down, Yuanqing's help to him made him doubly moved, he thought that Yuanqing really broke off the father-son relationship with him, but he didn't expect that Yuanqing actually helped himself at a critical time.

"How did Yuan Qing know that I would go this way?"

Yang Wei scratched the back of his head and said a little embarrassed: "I said, don't be angry." ”

"Say it! I'm not angry. ”

"Yuanqing knows that the head of the family will not attack Luoyang, and he will enter the Guanzhong, if he enters the Guanzhong, I will not care, go back to Fengzhou directly, if the head of the family cannot enter the Guanzhong, the head of the family will definitely go to Hongnong County, and I will wait for the opportunity to help."

Yang Xuangan sighed in his heart, it turned out that Yuanqing knew that he was going to lose, alas! Knowing today's defeat, it is better to bury him at the beginning and bear it.

Yang Wei took out another letter, "This is the letter that Yuan Qing asked me to hand over to the head of the family." ”

Yang Xuangan took the letter, but he was not in a hurry to look at it, his eyes looked at the young general behind Yang Wei, and asked, "......Who is this general?"

The young general knelt down on one knee and said: "Under Xie Yingdeng, Xie Hong's nephew, I heard that the Duke of Chu rebelled against the faint monarch, and Xie Yingdeng was willing to follow the Duke of Chu against Sui." ”

Yang Xuangan knew that Xie Hong, who was deeply literate, lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain, and Yang Guang recruited him repeatedly, but he just refused to enter the office.

Yang Wei said with a smile on the side: "General Xie is strong in martial arts, unparalleled in his arrows, and he gathered righteous people to oppose Sui in the area of Hongnong County, I met him on the road, and it was his strategy to cut off Yuwen's grain road." ”

Yang Xuangan hurriedly helped Xie Yingden up, and said apologetically: "The Sui army is strong, I am unfortunately defeated, and the day is not safe, is General Xie still willing to follow Xuangan?" ”

Xie Yingdeng said with a smile: "The ancestors of the former Han Dynasty were repeatedly defeated by Xiang Yu, but the next battle was successful, and Liu Bei was defeated repeatedly, but in the end it became a great cause. ”

"Well said!"

Yang Xuangan got Yang Wei and Xie Yingdeng, and his confidence gradually recovered, he opened Yang Yuanqing's letter and read it carefully.

"Father is on the 'Yuanqing kowtow, when my father saw my letter, it should be the defeat of Tongguan, Yang Wei came to help, Yuanqing thought, although the army was defeated, but the road is not endless, the father can be stationed in the mountains, ploughing in the field, but this can escape the catastrophe, the father is the nail in the eyes of Yang Guang, different bandits who gather in the mountains, must not attack the county again, Zhao Li in the world, Shanluo County eight mountains and one water, the terrain is complex, it is the land of the hidden dragon, the father can hide here, three years later, two years soon, the world is in chaos, the Sui army takes care of this and loses the other, the father can take the pass again, in order to ...... great cause"

Yang Xuan's heart fluctuated, but his eyes became extraordinarily bright, and this time, he decided to listen to Yuan Qingzhi's advice.
