……

In the second year of Chengtian, August 1.

Five days earlier, the Empire had landed on the Taedong River on the peninsula to attack Pyongyang's naval division, and the army was almost wiped out.

Five days later, the Empire's army, which was attempting to attack Marudu in the area around the Cheongcheon River, was also severely attacked.

The seven greedy wolf guards secretly sent to Goguryeo by Yang Kuan, the Son of Heaven, played a great role in this.

After the seven greedy wolf guards left Liaodong, they defected to the king of Goguryeo, the one who was upright.

It was naturally difficult for the Infant Yang King to believe that these seven greedy wolves were well-intentioned, for fear that they were sent by the Sui State to play Infernal Affairs.

The seven greedy wolf guards only said one word, and they reversed the attitude of the Infant Sun King - what do you covet?

The Infant Yang King couldn't help but think, "Yes! What do I have? Even if the Sui army lost more than 200,000 naval troops, the basic momentum of the enemy and our outnumbered people did not change at all, and more than 1.1 million foot soldiers and cavalry wanted to defeat Goguryeo, so how could they play conspiracy and tricks? So he warmly entertained the seven greedy wolf guards and reused them......

On July 22, while the soldiers and horses of the Sui army on the waterway surrounded Pyongyang, the soldiers and horses of the Sui army on the land route also hit the banks of the Liaoshui River, and the Son of Heaven ordered the construction of three bridges for the army to cross.

The left general Wei Xiaokuan did not need to be so troublesome, the location of the Sui army was no more than the tail of the Liao River, and it was a two-day journey to step into the hinterland of Goguryeo.

The Son of Heaven did not allow it, and said that this move showed the majesty and strength of the empire. It can make the Goguryeo people frightened.

As a matter of fact?

The Son of Heaven gave the Goguryeo army time to prepare so that they could counterattack.

The bridge built on the Liao River has not yet been repaired to the other side. The Goguryeo army, under the command of seven greedy wolf guards, launched an attack on the Sui army. and effectively repelled the Sui army and damaged the bridge.

The Son of Heaven was not discouraged, and continued to build the bridge, repeated it three times, and finally repaired it.

The Sui army crossed the river and surrounded the Goguryeo frontier bridgehead Xinbin City, and conquered it in one day.

On the day of July 25, the soldiers and horses of the Sui army on the waterway were defeated, and the soldiers and horses on the land route came to the Qingchuan River, which was only thirty miles away from the capital of Goguryeo, Maru.

The courtiers of the empire all thought of it. It didn't take ten days, and Goguryeo's demise was imminent.

Something happened!

More than one piece!

One.

The rebels against the conquest of Goguryeo in the empire intensified and grew terrifyingly.

Two.

The swarms of the rebels were all over the place, directly directing the grain and grass transportation lines that had been good some time ago, but they were intercepted and harassed one after another, and it was difficult to transport grain to Liaodong Prefecture.

Three.

The supply of the Sui army, even if there was a fault for a while, at least Youzhou, Zhaozhou, Yanzhou, and Liaodong Prefecture were close to each other. It can mobilize reserves for emergency response and ensure that soldiers fill their stomachs. However, as the army entered the territory of Goguryeo, the logistics supply of the Sui army was ambushed by Goguryeo in the advice of the seven greedy wolf guards. To solve this problem. The Son of Heaven ordered each soldier to bring his own food. This greatly increased the burden on the soldiers, many of whom threw down the food they had brought with them in order to lose weight. Wait for the Sui army to reach the Qingchuan River. Supplies have been strictly scarce.

Problems broke out on all sides, and the Sui army had to stay in the area of the Qingchuan River. This pause...... Broken!

The seven greedy wolf guards teamed up with the Goguryeo general Eulji Wende, taking advantage of the gap in the Sui army. Hundreds of thousands of people were called upon to build dikes and dams in the upper reaches of the Qingchuan River to store water.

On July 29, the Sui army received an order from the Son of Heaven to cross the river and attack Marudu, and finally set off.

When the Qingchuan River was very shallow, the Sui army thought it was caused by the summer heat and drought, and did not hesitate to wade across the river.

When the Sui army crossed the river, Yizhi Wende opened the sluice gate to release water.

The water and fire were ruthless, and tens of thousands of Sui troops were drowned and drowned.

Eulji Wende then led the Goguryeo army to launch a fierce attack on the Sui army, which had been in a disorganized and disorganized formation.

The battle lasted from dawn to sunset, and the 300,000 soldiers sent by the Sui army this time were killed and wounded, more than 100,000 were killed and wounded, and most of the remaining people were scattered and secretly escaped, and there were only less than 3,000 people who really returned to the camp in Liaodong!

It's night.

The north, which had not rained much all summer, ushered in a continuous heavy rain.

……

……

In the second year of Chengtian, August 8.

Less than two days apart, the empire lost two battles in Goguryeo with more than 100,000 casualties, which spread all over the country and caused unprecedented heated discussions.

Some people are worried about the safety of their relatives, some people are scolding the generals of the unified army for being stupid, some people are slandering the Son of Heaven for being stubborn, and some people wonder if there is still a need to continue to fight that small country.

These have nothing to do with Yang Xuangan, and he is currently discussing with others.

What to explore?

Rebellion!

Since Pan Qiaoyun told Yang Xuangan that there is a nursery rhyme in Luoyang "Two Yangs, who is the longest", he has been terrified every day, and the slightest wind and grass can make him think that it is a precursor to the destruction of the Hongnong Yang family by the Son of Heaven.

Especially a few days ago, Wu Fan added some material to Yang Xuangan......

Hongnong Yang's strength should not be underestimated, how could he not have his own intelligence channels, listening to the reports of the people around him that the Huang Men Guard was active frequently, and his intentions were very unclear, Yang Xuangan suddenly became furious.

The first thing Yang Xuangan did was to ask people to go to Hongnong to invite the elders of the Yang clan and ask for their opinions. Secondly, he contacted the six younger brothers of the three concubines and the three concubines. Finally, help gather your best friends on weekdays......

Rebellion is such a thing, if you don't do it, you have to lose your head, and Yang Xuangan is not stupid, so the people who discuss with him are very, very close people, there are only nine in total.

Yang Xuangan sat in the first place, looked at the others with grim faces, and said: "The danger that has not been encountered in a hundred years is imminent, everyone expresses their opinions, I don't want the Yang family to perish in our generation." ”

The crowd was silent.

Long.

Yang Xuanzong, who was most similar to Yang Xuangan, spoke: "I worked with my fifth brother Wanshuo in Liaodong and participated in the imperial ...... After the defeat of the Qingchuan River, he secretly led 500 of his henchmen back. ”

Yang Xuanzong is the second son of the late Yang Su, the Duke of Yueguo, and the second brother of Yang Xuangan. And Yang Wanshuo is the fifth, and both of them are tiger generals. followed the Son of Heaven to crusade against Goguryeo, and was recruited by Yang Xuangan's secret letter.

Yang Wanshuo has a beautiful face. is more like a literati, and he was also clever in the past, and now he hesitated to say: "I always feel ...... Feel...... The real purpose of the Son of Heaven does not seem to be to defeat Goguryeo. But I can't think of any other reason......"

"No matter what the Son of Heaven thinks, the situation of the Yang family is clear at a glance!" The person who spoke out was the only outsider in the room, Zhao Huaiyi, the Taishou of Jijun, who, like Yang Xuangan, was in charge of the rear supply line of the empire's attack on Goguryeo, as the second checkpoint. He is Yang Xuangan's best friend: "When the interruption continues, it will be chaotic!" Shandong, Hebei and other places have countless people who have changed their minds, and the number of participants is as high as one million, is it not enough to show that the people are turning their backs? ”

Yang Wanshuo agreed: "Instead of waiting for death, it is better to fight to the death!" ”

Zhao Huaiyi said again: "Xuangan! Don't hesitate! You are from the Hongnong Yang family, your status is noble, you climb the heights, and you don't have to worry about no one responding! He stood up and bowed. Said earnestly: "If you don't have a king, you won't be a minister!" The son of the Yang family was ruthless and brutal...... The people of Lebanon are suffering and are in dire need of relief! Zhao is not talented and cannot support justice. Only assist Ming Gong, clear the world, and set things right. There is also a Lang Lang Taiping in the world! ”

Yang Xuangan slapped the table and said, "Okay!" ”

……

……

Chengtian two years. August 9th.

Wang Bo and Meng Rang's rebel army collapsed internally due to Zhang Xutuo's fierce suppression. The two went their separate ways.

Twenty days ago, Wang Bo crossed the Yellow River and headed north.

Zhang Xutuo failed to continue the pursuit this time, and he encountered a bigger problem.

The empire attacked Goguryeo, dispatched soldiers and people, and made the people in Jizhou and Qingzhou unemployed, the land was barren, and the heavens were not beautiful. There is a shortage of grain in the north, and the south has also been greatly affected by the great uprising of the restoration of the Southern Liang this year, and it is still acceptable for self-sufficiency, but it is difficult to give it to the north...... Gradually, famine developed.

The eastern county where Zhang Xutuo arrived is almost the strictest place.

Zhang Xutuo decided to open a warehouse to release grain and provide relief to the victims.

The officials and subordinates of Dongjun all believed: "We must wait for His Majesty's edict, and we can't open a warehouse to give grain without permission." ”

Zhang Xutuo said angrily: "Your Majesty is far away, and it will take a few days, more than ten days, to send envoys back and forth. The people are in a hurry, and if they wait for the report to go up, the people will fill in the pit! If I am condemned by this, I will die without hatred. ”

Thereupon.

Chop first and then play, open the warehouse and release the grain.

Zhang Xutuo couldn't stand the numb eyes of the people due to hunger, he joined the army when he was in the desert in his hometown and couldn't eat, he knew better the virtues of some corrupt officials, so during the whole period of opening the warehouse and releasing grain, he supervised with a long knife and did not give anyone a chance.

Wang Bo got a chance to breathe, and united with his colleagues in Yangping County, Jizhou, Sun Xuanya, Shi Qinyi, and Hao Xiaode.

It is worth mentioning that Sun Xuanya, if nothing else, this is a woman who does not let her eyebrows.

As the pioneer of the rebel army, Wang Bo had a very high reputation, and in a short period of time, he pulled out a team of more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and gathered the soldiers and horses of the other three, and made an army of 50,000!

Wang Bo took a fancy to the military rations that the Grand Canal was transported north to Youzhou and Liaodong Prefectures, and continuously intercepted them, and won a lot.

Wang Bo distributed military rations to the poor people, and the rebel army swelled to 100,000!

Zhang Xutuo saw that Wang Bo was getting bigger, so he hurriedly waved his army north and continued to pursue him.

Zhang Xutuo used the tiger symbol to order the naval army on the side of the Grand Canal to compete with Wang Bo for the advantage of water transportation, and led 20,000 infantry and cavalry to attack the rebels.

The rebels were uneven, and Zhang Xutuo was defeated.

Wang Bo's army collapsed to Leping, and was blocked by the county soldiers of Qinghe County who protected Cui's family.

Zhang Xutuo and the soldiers of Qinghe County flanked him, beheaded Shi Qinjiao and Hao Xiaode, and defeated the rebels again.

Wang Bo and Sun Xuanya were nowhere to be found, and Zhang Xutuo couldn't find them, so they had to return to Qingzhou.

coincided with Pei Changcai and Shi Zihe leading 20,000 rebels to attack the city and plunder.

When Zhang Xutuo first arrived, he didn't have time to gather soldiers, so he personally led five cavalry to fight the rebels.

The rebels were attracted to it and led their troops to besiege it.

Zhang Xutuo was besieged, with many injuries on his body, and his courage was strong.

Reinforcements arrived in the city, and the rebels retreated.

Zhang Xutuo supervised the army to fight again, defeated the rebels, and Pei Changcai was defeated and fled.

……

……

In the second year of Chengtian, August 13th.

Early morning.

A large number of folds are displayed on the table of Yang Kui, the Son of Heaven.

The defeat of Pyongyang City and the defeat of the Qingchuan River, the two defeats almost achieved the goal that Yang Kuan expected, and the military power controlled by the Shi clan could not be said to have been completely taken back by him, at least the vitality was greatly damaged.

Yang Kui's face was gloomy, and his heart was excited, he felt that it would not be long before the Heavenly Royal Family could completely suppress the family for the first time.

But......

Yang Qi is not without worries.

As Wu Fan had warned earlier, the family would be blinded by momentary interests, and they would eventually sense something wrong and would definitely resist it.

This is the reason why he knew that the situation in the Central Plains was so rotten that it was impossible not to suppress it, Yang Kuan still pretended to be angry and vowed not to return to Goguryeo, so he had to drag it out and refuse to return to the army.

You must know that once Yang Kuan leads an army with a huge base of more than 800,000 to the south, the rebellion in the Central Plains can be quelled in an instant!

Looking at the heavy rain outside the window, Yang Qi was out of his mind for a long time, and suddenly shivered, felt the coldness, and tightened the clothes on his body.

Yang Kuan slowly flipped through the songs, and saw that he had sent a messenger to urge Yang Xuangan to transport grain and grass, and Yang Xuangan said bitter words, he smiled contemptuously. Seeing Zhang Xutuo's generous speech of opening the granary of Dongjun to relieve refugees, he muttered praise. See......

The coolness on his body became more and more obvious, Yang Kui's hand suddenly trembled, and then his whole body swayed, and he fell down with a "bang".

The guards and palace maids who served Yang Kui's surroundings were in chaos.

Yang Kuan, sick.

Evening.

Wu Yong, who has been lurking in Wagangzhai for a long time, has long been integrated into this nest of bandits in the green forest, and sometimes he almost forgets who he is.

It wasn't until someone contacted Wu Yong and told him what Wu Yong should do, and he remembered who he was.

This period of time in Wagangzhai is very sad, and one of the two reasons for sadness is the loss of financial resources.

The empire conquered Goguryeo, and Xingyang was the source and core of the transportation and supply lines, and large quantities of military rations and ordnance were sent from here.

The green forest ringing horse is the green forest ringing horse, how dare you provoke the officials and soldiers lightly?

Another of the two reasons why Wagangzhai has been sad during this period of time is the increase in the number of people.

There are too many people who have fled from Qingzhou and escaped from military service.

Among them are the same people who are the green forest ringing horses, most of these people are the chief of the green forest in the seven states, Shan Xiongxin, who was stuffed to his righteous brother Zhai Rang, the leader of Wagangzhai, and it is not easy to excuse himself, otherwise how will the road look at you and evaluate you?

The lack of money and food, and the mouth of eating is getting more and more day by day, and Zhai Rang is not lightly distressed.

Xu Shixian, a fox man from Dongjun, was seventeen years old, with a burly appearance, a tall figure, and a brave and resourceful figure. His family was originally a rich man, with many servants, thousands of bells, and his father Xu Gai were both benevolent and benevolent people, helping the poor, regardless of their relationship. Seeing the chaos in the world, he was unwilling to be lonely, so he defected to Zhai Rang in the same county. (To be continued......)
