Chapter 219: Rebel and claim to be the emperor

Princely general Xiangning has seeds?

This has basically been a slogan that all rebels have shouted since the Qin Dynasty. This slogan was shouted by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, and they failed. In the next thousand years, there are still many people who have shouted, some succeed and some fail.

And now, Yang Xuangan, the first cattle man who shouted this slogan in the Great Sui Dynasty, has been exhausted and desperate.

Yang Xuangan rebelled, Li Mi conspired, and the general Li Zixiong also escaped from the Goguryeo front line and returned to participate in the rebellion. There are countless other thieves, and some of them are ambitious, thinking of supporting the dragon's merits, so as to seek a wealth in the new dynasty. Some are declining nobles and are unwilling to fall into the Sui Dynasty, so they are reversed.

But more of them are those ignorant Shengdou small people, in the troubled times, these people are just a wall of leather. Whichever way the wind blows, they can only helplessly follow which way, just to live under the knife for a few more days and have something to eat.

Yang Xuangan's timing was good, it was when the whole country's soldiers were in the open sea, and the domestic was boiling over the construction of the canal and the conquest of Goryeo. It's a pity that in the end he still failed. After besieging the eastern capital of Luoyang for more than a month, Yang Xuangan went from the initial few hundred families to dozens of generals in the end, with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and even many nobles of the Great Sui had already taken refuge in him.

It's a pity that the old man who stayed behind in the eastern capital Fan Zigai was defeated by him one after another, but this old man relied on the high walls of Luoyang to hold the war-free card from then on. When it was nearly September, Xijing stayed behind, and the general Wei Wen, known as the Huā sword general, raised 50,000 soldiers and horses to march eastward, and the general of the navy division came to protect his son and personally commanded 100,000 sailors and horses, and went north along the Grand Canal. What's even worse is that Yang Guang has returned from Liaodong.

The generals Yu Wenshu, Yang Yichen, and Qu Tutong commanded 100,000 elite iron cavalry and had already gone south. Moreover, the generals who stayed near the eastern capital also surrounded them on all sides with more or less soldiers and horses.

At the last moment, Yang Xuangan convened the generals to discuss secretly. General Li Zixiong was the first to say, "The reinforcements of the eastern capital are beneficial, our army is defeated, and we can't stay for a long time, so it's better to go straight into the Guanzhong, open the granary to revitalize the poor, and the three auxiliaries can be referred to depending on the command, according to the treasury, the east and fight for the world, and the cause of the overlord." ”

Dongdu couldn't stand still, and everyone was already thinking about running away.

Immediately afterwards, Li Mi also said, "Yuan Hongsi holds a strong army in Longyou, which can be said to be the opposite, and sends an envoy to welcome the public, so he can enter the customs and can be unskilled." "That is to say, let's spread rumors that this Yuan Hongji (that is, Hu Sizheng's relative who fled to Goguryeo) is going to rebel, and then pretend to be an official and soldier to deceive Kaitong Pass, and then take Chang'an directly!

When everyone heard this, they all nodded in agreement, but they didn't know that Yang Guang had already taken the lead at this time, and sent Li Yuanhonghua to stay behind to control the thirteen counties of Guanyou and Longxi.

If this strategy can be strictly implemented, the ownership of the world is really unknown, because its operability is indeed strong! If Yang Xuangan successfully takes Tongguan and approaches Chang'an, it is difficult to say whether he can capture the sky, but at least he will not be defeated so quickly and completely.

However, in order to execute this strategy perfectly, two conditions must be met, one is fast, and the other is yīn! If you are fast, you can get rid of the government army: yīn, you can capture Tongguan in a short time.

You can't have one without the other!

On the same day, Yang Xuangan and others hurriedly marched westward with the soldiers and horses, and to put it bluntly, they ran away.

It's a pity that I ran to a place called Xiannong halfway through, which is Yang Su's hometown. Yang Xuangan heard that the local Taishou actually burned his house, and he was furious and besieged Hongnong County, attacking for three days in a row, but before the city fell, the iron cavalry of Yuwenshu, Yang Yichen, and Qu Tutong had already caught up.

Yu Wenshu, Yang Yichen, and Qu Tutong are not famous generals, but they are all veterans who have led soldiers for half their lives.

The cavalry under his command are all Yang Guang's internal army guards, 100,000 people against a group of rebels composed of poor people who have just washed their feet ashore, chopping melons and vegetables, like all predecessors in history, Yang Xuangan's more than 100,000 horses were scattered, and the killed crying father shouted mother, and finally in the chaos, Yang Xuangan and others only had more than ten horsemen who fled from the battlefield.

After running for a day and a night, the remaining ten or so riders all deserted and ran away.

Standing on the bank of a nameless river, this once the richest and richest son of the Great Sui was full of hair and muddy water at this time. He raised his head and looked silently at the white clouds in the autumn, and the lonely flying geese, the cool breeze swishing across his face and blowing away his hair!

At this time, he was discouraged, and turned his head to the last person beside him, his younger brother Yang Xuan, and said, "It's a failure, I can't be humiliated, you can kill me!" ”,

In the oppressive silence, Yang Xuanzong pulled out the horizontal knife, closed his eyes, and then slashed hard! A great head rolled on the grass, so sad that no one witnessed his last moments except a few unknown insects in the grass. With the landing of Sui's head, the largest rebellion in the Great Sui came to an end.

Although Yang Xuangan was dead, Yang Guang had no intention that this matter would end like this.

On the same day, Yang Guang led hundreds of thousands of Wen troops after receiving the urgent report from the Eastern Capital, and followed the Yuwen Shu forward army into the Central Plains. However, after passing through Beiping County, arriving at Zhuo County, and all the way to Hejian County,

News has come from the eastern capital again, and Yang Xuangan has gone to Chang'an with his soldiers and horses.

As soon as Yang Guang saw that the siege of the eastern capital had been lifted, he simply didn't bother to go down to Luoyang again. This journey was terrifying, and I didn't even sleep well for more than a month. What's more, in his heart, when the conquest of Liao was completed, he was defeated due to Yang Yi's rebellion, which made him so willing. In the end, the whole army was ordered to move westward from Hejian County, and the whole army entered Boling County and stationed there.

According to his meaning, once Yang was pacified, then his army could immediately go north again and conquer Goguryeo in the east. For this reason, it is specially decreed to change Boling County to Gaoyang County and station it for the temporary emperor.

In September, Yuwenshu sent back the good news, the rebel Yang Xuangan's rebels were annihilated, Yang Xuangan died, and the general Li Zixiong, the prince of Pushan County, Li Mi, and several younger brothers of Yang Xuangan were all captured and sent to the emperor's camp.

Several first offenders have been caught, but Yang Guang doesn't even plan to let go of the people below. An order was issued to order the eastern capital to stay in Fan Zigai, and the imperial historian Pei Yun and the two were responsible for liquidating the rebels. Pei Yun was originally a black-bellied person, and at this time, in order to clear his son's guilt for participating in the rebels, he showed his hard work for this purge. And the eastern capital stayed behind Fan Zigai, although he had seen seventy, but this old man was a real murderer. Historically, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he led his troops to quell the peasant uprising in the Jianghuai area of Shandong.

Robbing, killing, and burning, during his tenure of suppression of bandits, he was thousands of miles away from people. And now, he is in charge of the liquidation, and he is also extremely ferocious, "The 30,000 people he killed, all of them have no family, half of the dead are in vain, and 6,000 are the exiles." The siege of Xuangan is also in the eastern capital, and the warehouse is opened to give relief to the people. Whoever receives rice is in the south of the capital. "At one time, Xìng killed more than 30,000 people, confiscated everyone's family property, and exiled more than 6,000 people.

Even when Yang Xuangan besieged the eastern capital, all those who had received the grain from the rebels were all killed in the south of Luoyang City. This is a massacre of Chiguoguo, a great purge.

Yang Guang, who was in the main hall of the Gaoyang Palace, after listening to the results of Pei Yun and Fan Zigai's treatment, his expression was heavy, and he said coldly, "There are 100,000 people in the Xuangan Palace, and there are not many people in the world. If you don't do it, you can't punish it. …,

As soon as Yang Guang's words came out, the ministers in the entire hall were shocked into a cold sweat.

Pei Yun and the others killed more than 30,000 people at one time, and the emperor was not enough. He actually wanted to kill all the more than 100,000 people who had participated in the rebellion. also said that there are too many people in the world, and it is easy to get together and rebel.

The political tumbler Nayan Su Wei just secretly glanced at Yang Guang, and he already saw Emperor Yang Guang's thoughts in his heart. Yang Guang was afraid at this time, no matter how strong Yang Guang was in the past, he had never done such a thing.

Once xìng kills 100,000 people, and they have to sit their families together, which is hundreds of thousands of people. The emperor is afraid, this rebellion is different from those mud tuǐ people who are making small fights, this is already a rebellion that shakes the Yang family. For Yang Guang, who has always been conceited and self-serving, he finally felt a sense of loss of control. Therefore, he is now going to use horrific and bloody killings to deter the people of the world, and he also uses this terror and bloodshed to cover up the fear in his heart.

Returning to the Central Plains from Liaodong, although Yang Xuangan had been exterminated, there were more rebellions. During this period of time, rebels from all over the country have risen up in response to Yang Xuangan.

Liu Yuanjin, a native of Yuhang, raised troops in the south of the Yangtze River, with tens of thousands of followers, just a few days ago, this guy had joined the rebels led by Zhu Xie of Wujun and Guan Chong of Biling, and the number of soldiers and horses reached more than 100,000.

What made Yang Guang even more uncalm was that the rebels actually promoted Liu Yuanjin as the Son of Heaven, Zhu Xie and Guan Chong as servants, and appointed hundreds of officials. In response to the rebellion, the rebels in Biling, Dongyang, Huiji, Jian'an and other places arrested local officials.

Since the first rebellion of Wang Bo, a native of Shandong, in the seventh year of the Great Cause, although traitors who rebelled have sprung up one by one. But basically, one by one either calls himself a Zhishiro, or a general, or a leader. There is no one who even dares to be the king, and now, a scoundrel and hooligan dares to claim the emperor in a grand manner, and sets up hundreds of officials, kills officials and rebels, and divides the locality.

In the past, most of the poor people who killed officials and rebelled were still hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, to put it bluntly, they were a group of bandits and robbers. And now that he is called the emperor and a hundred officials, the quality is already completely different. Liu Shiyuan's behavior has completely and deeply touched the fragile string in Yang Guang's brain.

The puppet was furious, and blood splattered five steps. And when he Yang Guang is angry, it will inevitably be a bloody stream, Kyushu will shake, setting off a sea of corpses and blood, and a bloody rain. One after another orders were handed down, and the Great Sui Dynasty began to enter the darkest and bloody end era.
