Chapter 188 [Uprising]
Yang Xuangan rode his horse and rushed over. Many people remembered the previous scene, this scene was widely circulated by the roadside society, and when later generations talked about it, they often used another person's name to describe Yang Xuangan: Strength can resist the overlord of Dingchu. The Sui army was defeated. Wei Wensheng can no longer pose a threat to Yang Xuangan, but Yang Xuangan is not a complete victory, and a person's death casts a shadow over the victory. His younger brother Yang Xuanting was killed by a stray arrow in a charge, Yang Xuanting's death not only meant that Yang Xuangan had lost a fierce general, but also meant that Yang Xuangan's goal was getting farther and farther away from him.
At the time of the incident, Yang Xuangan's two brothers were on the front line in Liaodong, did not escape back in time, were beheaded by the Sui Dynasty government, and now another one has been killed. I have lost three brothers to avenge my father, is this what my father wants to see? Is this qiē worth it? Whenever he thought of this, Yang Xuangan fell into deep pain and confusion. When Yang Xuangan and Wei Wensheng were at war, there had been some changes in the eastern capital of Luoyang. The person in charge of the Eastern Capital is Fan Zigai. Compared with Pei Hongce, Yang Xuangan, and Wei Wensheng, he is a real general. In order to conquer Goguryeo, Yang Guang transferred military generals from all over the country, and finally left a big sword shaker for the base camp of the eastern capital. But Fan Zigai's big knife couldn't be shaken off, because the officials in the Eastern Capital looked down on him.
Fan Zigai was only recently transferred to the central government, and he had been serving in Lingnan before, and he belonged to the rural cadres. As for the difficult problem of how to adapt to the new environment of airborne officers, Fan Zigai easily solved it. He found Pei Hongce, who had recently retired from the front line, and ordered him to lead his troops into battle again. Pei Hongce directly refused. He's already scared, and the pros don't go out. Why let him go out with a contract foreman and work hard. Pei Hongce told Fan Zigai that even if he killed me, he wouldn't go out.
Thereupon. Fan Zigai beat Pei Hongce to death. Is there anything else you don't accept? The people of Luoyang soon united in the left-behind team centered on Fan Zigai and unified their understanding: the city is there, the people are there, the city is dead, and the people are dead. The soul of a military town depends on the will of its guards. Even though there were high walls and deep pools in Luoyang before, after this moment, Luoyang City can be called impregnable.
Fan Zigai not only strengthened the defense, but also frequently sent small detachments to attack Yang Xuangan's camp. Sabotage Yang Xuangan's plan of action. Yang Xuangan was not aware of this transformation at the first time, he was immersed in the continuous battles, and did not know that under the glory of victory, the shadow of defeat lurked.
Victory has begun to move away from Yang Xuangan. After winning a few battles, Yang Xuan felt a great momentum, and thousands of people came to join the gang every day. It can be described as a great good. The team grew day by day, but the forest grew bigger, and there were all kinds of birds. How to maintain the purity of the troops when the troops are growing has become a very important issue, and Li Mi found that a person with a less pure mind was mixed in.
During the battle against Luoyang, Yang Xuangan captured a Neishi Sheren named Wei Fusi. Yang Xuangan personally rebelled and invited him to join the rebel army. Wei Fusi was not ambiguous, and he didn't even get on the tiger chair. He surrendered to Cheng and entered Yang Xuangan's staff team. Li Mi quickly noticed the man. When the following incident happened, Li Mi could finally be sure. Wei Fusi is in Liangshan, and his heart is in the imperial court. Yang Xuangan asked Wei Fusi to draft a letter, but Wei Fusi directly refused.
This is strange, people who have read the Water Margin know that going up the mountain to join the gang, in order to show one heart, is to sign a life and death certificate, Wei Fusi's official residence in the Shi Sheren, what he did was the work of drafting documents, and he didn't let you take Yang Guang's head, and it was not too much to write a letter of honor. Li Mi found Yang Xuangan and pointed out that Wei Fusi was definitely not his own person, and such a person should immediately clean up the revolutionary ranks, that is, pull them out and behead them.
Yang Xuan stared at Li Mi strangely: "No, is this necessary?" As soon as these words came out, Li Mi already understood that Yang Xuangan was bound to lose, and the reason for his defeat was not whether to kill or not kill a Wei Fuhei, but in Yang Xuangan's heart. In Li Mi's view, the eldest husband stands in the world, and those who want to do what they want to do must ask themselves two questions. 1. What is my heart pursuing? 2. What kind of effort am I willing to put in to achieve my wishes?
& It's a question of determination and struggle. If you want to successfully realize your ideals, you must be strong and your determination must be firm, because only a strong ** can give you a direction, and only with all your efforts can you finally reach the end.
In order to win, you must be bold and courageous, but this is still not enough. You have to take a way that you might get close to the target, and sometimes it can be a little impersonal. What doesn't come to this, what is it like this first, how can such an awareness win? Coming out of the Chinese military tent, Li Mi sighed and told his cronies: "The Duke of Chu is good, but he can't hope for victory, and we are about to become prisoners." ”
Soon, Li Mi became even more determined in this idea. Yang Xuangan called Li Mi again, and asked him a question with a smile: "How do you think I am the emperor?" "What?! Li Mi was almost crazy, he stared at Yang Xuangan, as if looking at a prehistoric monster.
In fact, it is strange that the general uprising will have a name, such as Huang Chao is called General Chongtian, Li Zicheng is called King Chuang, Yang Xuangan did not make a well-known title, this is a pity. But in one step, it is not that there are no people who have been emperors in less than a month after the incident, but you will never remember who they are, because those are the fastest dead.
Li Mi asserted that Yang Xuangan's unrealistic idea was vetoed, and warned him again that it was best to attack Chang'an as soon as possible, pacify Guanzhong, and take a base that could be attacked and retreated. Yang Xuangan showed his signature laugh again, saying that the matter of being the emperor was forgotten. It's over, Yang Xuangan is no longer saved.
Li Mi had already seen the shadow of failure, but he was not like Yang Xiu in the Three Kingdoms, as soon as he found out that something was wrong, he asked his subordinates to pack their luggage. didn't scold Fan Zeng twice because his plan was not used: the erector was not enough and the plan was not enough, and then slapped his ass and left.
Li Mi chose to stay on Yang Xuangan's big ship, which was about to capsize. Because he is not only Yang Xuangan's mastermind, but also Yang Xuangan's friend. If Yang Xuangan is about to win, I can leave, but if he is going to be in trouble. I can't leave with nothing.
Sharing adversity is the value of friendship. "Maybe. Yang Xuangan still needs me. Li Mi thought. And it was, and it didn't take long. Yang Xuangan invited Li Mi and said the common lines used by people who are confused in history books: "Ji will be released?" Yang Xuangan finally found that the shape was no longer good. Yang Guang is back.
On June 28, Yang Guang, the second emperor of the Sui Dynasty, made a difficult decision, he summoned the senior generals of the Sui Dynasty and ordered: "Throw away all military resources and retreat!" "Liaodong City is in front of him, but Yang Guang can't take care of it anymore, and he won't go home to clean up the portal. Even if he takes Liaodong or even breaks through Pyongyang, Yang Guang can only face a plate of kimchi in the second half of his life.
Along the way, Yang Guang was already angry to the extreme. At this time, Yang Xuangan was not the only one in the Great Sui Dynasty, and in Shandong, there were several peasant uprisings. Regarding the peasant uprising, Yang Guang didn't pay attention to it, but he still understood it. After all, it is understandable that he requisitioned their grain and pulled away their strong men.
But Yang Xuangan, why did you rebel against me? Your one qiē. Your father's qiē and your family's qiē were all given by me, and you actually came to rebel against me. I can give you a qiē. It is also possible to take away a qiē from you, including life! A few days later. Yang Guangwolf bèi reluctantly withdrew to Zhuo County, and the first thing he did after washing his face. It was the fate of Yang Xuangan to be punished.
Although Yang Guang had already made people angry, the government system of the Great Sui Dynasty was not paralyzed, and the galloping fast horse quickly passed Yang Guang's orders out. Thousands of miles away, several soldiers and horses moved together, and rushed to Luoyang City together, participating in this big operation to clean up the portal are Wu Benlang General Chen Ling, Wuwei General Qu Tutong, Zuo Yi General Yu Wenshu, and Right Xiaowei General to protect the children.
The above are not the scholars of the Criminal Department, the construction foreman, these are the real famous generals of the Great Sui Dynasty. Things evolved into what Li Mi warned back then: Luoyang could not be attacked, and the enemy army was in all directions. “
Now there's only one last option! After facing Yang Xuangan's inquiry, Li Mi pondered for a while and said his last plan: "We let out the rumor that someone in the pass has answered, and someone has been sent to greet him, so as to boost morale and lead the army into the pass!" "This plan is exactly the one of the thirty-six plans. Faced with the reality that it was about to collapse, Yang Xuangan finally chose to believe Li Mi once.
Raising the troops, Yang Xuangan announced the good news that someone in the customs had answered, and Yang Xuangan also invited several villagers to tell everyone that this was the brother of the old Yang family from his hometown Huayin County, and this time he made a special trip to deliver the news.
Morale was finally restored, and the army set up camp to the west, and along the way, Yang Xuangan also created a zào sex to play Li Mi's trick of hiding the sky and crossing the sea, claiming that the eastern capital had been breached, and now the eastern capital was defeated Xijing (Chang'an). This is bullying the Sui and Tang governments for not allocating mobile phones to officials.
The march was very smooth, and even Fan Zigai didn't understand Yang Xuangan's movements, and he didn't organize an effective blockade. Soon, the army marched to Hongnong Palace. Hangu Pass is in front of you, and after the pass is the pass that can win the world. Here, Yang Xuan felt a warm welcome. It is estimated that Yang Guang's expropriation and tyranny have provoked Hongnong's father and fellow villagers, and everyone came to welcome Yang Xuangan with cow wine, and strongly asked Yang Xuangan to take a moment to go to them to fight local tyrants and divide property.
They provided information: the city was empty of defense, and there was a lot of food and grass in it, so it would be a pity not to attack it. The people were so enthusiastic, but Yang Xuan felt disrespectful, so he decided to go to the city to have a look. Yang Xuangan finally made the last fatal mistake in his series of mistakes.
In hindsight, those fellow Hongnong were sent by Yang Xuangan's opponents to play with him. The opponent is Yang Zhiji, the Shou of Hongnong County. At this time, he was eagerly looking forward to Yang Xuangan's arrival. Yang Zhiji, Feng Cai Wang, Yang Guang's cousin, was the county guard of Hongnong at this time.
When he heard that Yang Xuangan's army was heading west, he immediately guessed that Yang Xuangan was going to seize Chang'an, as a halfway county guard, it was none of his business, and according to records, Emperor Yang Guang had always been unkind to his brothers, and a few years later, when Yang Zhiji was sick, like Yang Su, he gave up treatment. Before he died, Yang Zhiji breathed a sigh of relief: "Now, I can finally save my head and go underground." ”
Yang Zhiji could have turned a blind eye and let Yang Xuangan pass, but he finally decided to drag Yang Xuangan back. At the head of Hongnong City, when Yang Zhiji saw that Yang Xuangan really led the troops to attack the city, he showed a sly smile, and then, in a heavy mood, he gave a warm welcome speech to Yang Xuandao who came from afar.
Yang Xuangan's ancestors and eight generations strongly felt this enthusiasm. Because Yang Zhiji mentioned them in his speech, the specific content is hurtful and will not be provided. Yang Xuan was furious. But Li Mi is going crazy. My uncle, this is not a training. You can easily fight a rabbit or something, we are secretly going to attack Chang'an.
What kind of effort did you run to Hongnon Miyagi to compete with people? He immediately found Yang Xuangan and reminded him that this was the other party's agitation plan, and now he had to hurry forward and seize the Chang'an barrier Tongguan, and there was no time to waste here. This is the last construction that Li Mi gave Yang Xuangan.
Yang Xuangan almost roared and gave an answer: "This person is unbearable, what face do I not attack?" "Siege! Take down Hongnong! A fierce assault began, but the small city of Hongnong was not so easy to take.
Although Hongnong is a small city, it has always been said militarily that there are not many city gates. The walls were not long, and only a small number of troops were needed to hold them, but the besieging side, which had the advantage of numbers, was unable to deploy its troops, and it was quite difficult to attack. After several attacks, Yang Xuangan was defeated, and looking at the stubborn Hongnong City, he finally found a breakthrough.
Set! Burn the gates! Obviously, the gates of Hongnon Miyagi were not fireproofed, and they easily burned. It didn't take long for the entire city gate to be engulfed in flames. It was only a matter of time before the gates were reduced to ashes.
Yang Zhiji had just spoken so fast in the city, but he didn't expect the effect to be too violent, and Yang Xuangan was already desperate. Yang Zhiji was in a hurry in the city. I probably thought that I should usually do a fire drill.
The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and Yang Zhiji looked at the fiery city gate. It seems to be in a desperate situation, but suddenly. He shouted to the soldiers: "Quick, pile firewood on the fire!" The subordinates were stunned for a moment. But when they came to their senses, they understood what the leadership meant. The firewood was piled up at the city gate, and the flames at the city gate became even more intense under Yang Zhiji's joint initiative. Now, I can't go out, and you don't want to come in. The fire burned for three days.
Three days later, Yang Xuangan finally admitted defeat, and the skyrocketing fire could not hide the blue color of his intestines, and only then did he remember what he had come for. Impulsiveness is the devil. Ordering the team, Yang Xuangan withdrew from outside Hongnong Palace, and Yang Zhiji did not send troops out to harass him. Three days is enough, and Yang Xuangan can't go far.
On the first day of the eighth month of the eighth month, Yang Xuangan, who was on the road to the end, had just arrived, his eyes were full of blood red, his beard was tangled, and he was no longer as chic as before.
This place is very close to his hometown Huayin, and Tongguan, which can be used as a husband for ten thousand people, is also in front, but Yang Xuangan will never be able to return home, and he will not be able to reach Tongguan. Just a few days ago, not long after Yang Xuangan withdrew from Hongnong Palace, Yuwenshu, Qu Tutong, Lai Hu'er, and Wei Wensheng, who was defeated by him, caught up, and the Hui soldiers launched a fierce attack on him.
Yang Xuangan was defeated in several battles, and earlier today, Yang Xuangan experienced the final decisive battle. Now, can it be said that it is over? Looking behind him, there were only more than a dozen riders. And the sound of the horse's hooves of the chasing is getting closer and closer.
Panic was written on the faces of more than a dozen people, and the breath of death enveloped them. The pursuers finally arrived, and when they found that Yang Xuangan was in front, the pursuers showed a happy expression, and Yang Xuangan's head was no longer a human head, but a military merit and reward. So, they rushed forward with a shout, but they immediately understood that a male lion trapped in the mountains and forests was still a male lion. An angry shout exploded in the air, and Yang Xuangan rode out, with a horizontal spear on his body, and his eyes spewed fire.
"Come, he who takes my head." At this moment, Zhang Fei, who drank Cao Bing at the Shuiduan Bridge that day, came to the scene, and at this moment, on the banks of the Wujiang River, the Han soldiers were frightened, and Xiang Yu, who retreated for several miles, reappeared in the rivers and lakes. Horses are frightened, people are afraid.
After being stunned for a while, the pursuers turned their horses' heads one after another, and after a while, they disappeared without a trace. This person is too cruel, so he should call more brothers. After retreating and continuing to move forward, Yang Xuangan found that there were fewer and fewer people around him. Yes, now I am the target of the pursuers, and there is only one way to die by my side.
Yang Xuangan did not stop the entourage from leaving, and in the end, he only had his younger brother Yang Jishan by his side. Even the horses gave up on fleeing. The mount hissed and fell to the ground. The war horses fought hard for several days without rest, and finally supported
Let's walk. The brothers supported each other on a path they didn't even know. Until the sound of horses' hooves came again. This time, there were obviously more people than the last time.
Yang Xuangan stood up and said to Yang Jishan: Brother, don't go. There you are. The guilt was written on Yang Xuangan's face, and in the confusion, Yang Xuangan's face seemed to appear in front of his father Yang Su's face.
Many years ago, when I was still very young and my father was still very young, my father explained to people over and over again: My son is not stupid. Many years ago, my father led us to ride and shoot in the countryside, and the falcons were freed. Many years ago, my father brought Li Mi to the house so that we could learn from him. Many years ago, my father refused to be healed and chose to die.
One qiē, one qiē, my father is all for this family, in order to protect us, but I led the family you guarded with your life to perdition. Father, I'm sorry, I failed, I'm a big idiot.
Perhaps, the only thing I can do is to give my brother hope. Yang Xuangan pulled out his sword and handed it to Yang Jishan, in order to let his younger brother do it, he made up a sentence that was considered very tragic by later generations.
& Can't stand the humiliation of being killed by someone else, you kill me right now! The story of Yang Xuangan is over, and the first nobleman to stand up against Yang Guang's tyranny has completed his rebellion in two months. He was not a mediocre man, he was generous, brave and good at fighting, and he was very considerate of his subordinates, and many people were willing to fight to the death for him.
But he is not strong enough, he is not decisive enough, his temper is too impatient, and his heart is not ruthless enough, such a person will not be able to make achievements in the field of rebellion. Li Mi is more suitable for this field than he is.
Before that, he was a master, full of strange tricks but not adopted, which was painful, but troubled times will not let a wizard waste, he will finally have a chance to control the situation and thus practice his wisdom.
Of course, according to the principle that the heavens will be entrusted to the people, they will suffer their minds, and he still has a long way to go before he becomes a powerful figure, and this is a journey full of pain and suffering. Only after such a baptism will he wash away the noble man's temperament, so as to truly become a strong man. (To be continued......)
