After that, Li Mi defected to Zhai Rang in Wagangzhai and recruited a large number of people, making Wagangzhai stronger and stronger. After that, Li Mi even designed to ambush Zhang Xutuo.

After that, Li Mi's reputation became even greater, and he established his own camp office, commanding his own subordinates alone, known as the Pushan Public Camp.

And Pei Yuanqing's father, Pei Renji, was worshiped by Yang Guangbai as the new ambassador of Henan, replacing Zhang Xutuo to lead his subordinates, and moved to the tiger prison to guard.

Poyang's thief handsome master begs to call himself the king of Yuanxing, and the name of the founding year is Shixing. He led his troops to capture Yuzhang County and appointed fellow villager Lin Shihong as a general. Emperor Yang issued an edict to govern the book and serve the imperial history, Liu Ziyi led his troops to crusade against the master beggar. The master died in the middle of the begging, and Lin Shihong replaced him as the commander of the troops. Lin Shihong and Liu Ziyi fought at Pengli Lake, and Liu Ziyi was defeated and died. Lin Shihong's army was mighty, with more than 100,000 troops. In December, Renchen (the first ten), Lin Shihong proclaimed himself emperor, the country name Chu, and the founding year name Taiping. So Lin Shihong captured Jiujiang, Linchuan, Nankang, Yichun and other counties, and the heroes from all over the country competed to kill the county guard of the Sui Dynasty, and responded to Lin Shihong with the entire county. The vast area from Jiujiang in the north to Panyu in the south is owned by Lin Shihong.

Emperor Yang issued an edict appointing Li Yuan, the general of the Right Xiaowei, as the defender of Taiyuan, appointing Wang Wei, the general of Hu Benlang, and Gao Junya as Li Yuan's deputy general, and led the army to crusade against Zhen Zhai'er. Encountering Zhen Zhai'er in the Bird Mouse Valley, Li Yuan only had a few thousand people, and the thief army surrounded Li Yuan several times. Li Shimin led the elite soldiers to rescue Li Yuan and rescued Li Yuan from the crowd, just as Li Yuan's infantry arrived, the two armies attacked together, and Zhen Zhai'er was defeated.

Zhang Jincheng, Hao Xiaode, Sun Xuanya, Gao Shida, Yang Gongqing and others plundered Hebei and captured the counties, and the generals of the Sui Dynasty were defeated one after another. Yang Shanhui fought with thieves more than 700 times before and after, and he was never defeated.

Emperor Yang sent Yang Yichen, the imperial servant, to crusade against Zhang Jincheng, Zhang Jin said that he camped in the northeast of Ping'en County, Yang Yichen led his troops to the west of Linqing County, and camped according to the Yongji Canal, which was forty miles away from Zhang Jincheng's camp, with deep ditches and high bases, and did not fight with Zhang Jincheng. Zhang Jin said that he led his troops to the west of Yang Yichen's camp every day to fight, and Yang Yichen wore armor and led the soldiers, and agreed to fight with Zhang Jincheng, but he did not fight. Until it was getting late, Zhang Jin said that he had to lead the army back to the camp and come back early the next morning, so after a month, Yang Yichen did not go to war.

Zhang Jin said that he thought Yang Yichen was cowardly, and approached his camp several times to insult him, and Yang Yichen said to Zhang Jin: "If you come tomorrow morning, I will definitely fight you." Zhang Jin said that because of this, he underestimated the enemy and was no longer on guard. Yang Yichen selected 2,000 elite cavalry, crossed the river from Guantao at night, and entered Zhang's camp to attack his family and baggage while Zhang Jincheng led his troops to leave the camp. Zhang Jin said that when he heard the news, he led his troops back, Yang Yichen attacked from behind, Zhang Jin said that he was defeated, and only fled to the east of Qinghe County with the people around him. More than a month later, Yang Shanhui crusaded against and captured Zhang Jincheng, and the officials set up a wooden pillar in the middle of the city, hung Zhang Jincheng's head, spread his hands and feet, and let those who had enemies with him cut his flesh. Zhang Jin said that when he was not dead, he kept singing. Emperor Yang issued an edict appointing Yang Shanhui as the commander of the Qinghe River.

Guo Xuan, the general guard of Zhuo County, led more than 10,000 people to crusade against Gao Shida. Gao Shida thought that his talent and strategy were not as good as Dou Jiande, so he promoted Dou Jiande to be the military commander and handed over the military power to him. Dou Jiande asked Gao Shida to guard the baggage, and selected 7,000 elite soldiers to fight against Guo Xuan. He betrayed him by pretending to have a conflict with Gao Shida, and sent someone to ask Guo Xuan to surrender, expressing his willingness to be Guo Xuan's vanguard and attack Gao Shida to atone for his crimes.

Guo Xuan believed Dou Jiande and led his troops to follow Dou Jiande to Changhe County, and no longer guarded against him. Dou Jiande suddenly attacked Guo Xuan, killed thousands of people, and beheaded Guo Xuan's head to Gao Shida. The rest of Zhang Jin's claim was also attached to Dou Jiande. Yang Yichen took advantage of the victory and marched to the plains, intending to enter Gaojibo to crusade against Dou Jiande. Dou Jiande said to Gao Shida: "I have observed a lot of Sui generals, the one who is good at using soldiers is Yang Yichen, now he has destroyed Zhang Jincheng to take advantage of the victory, unstoppable, please lead your troops to avoid him, so that he can't fight, it takes time, and the soldiers are tired and tired, and then we take the opportunity to attack him, Yang Yichen can be broken, otherwise, I'm afraid you are not his opponent." Gao Shida didn't listen, he left Dou Jiande to guard the camp, and he led the elite soldiers to meet Yang Yichen, and after winning a small victory, he drank freely.

When Dou Jiande heard this, he said: "Donghai Gong was arrogant and arrogant if he failed to defeat the enemy, and the disaster was coming soon. Five days later, Yang Yichen broke Gao Shida, killed Gao Shida in front of the battle, and pursued him with victory, approaching his camp. The defenders in the camp were scattered and fled, Dou Jiande only fled with more than 100 cavalry, and arrived in Raoyang County, taking advantage of Raoyang County's defenselessness, capturing Raoyang and collecting 3,000 soldiers. Yang Yichen killed Gao Shida, thinking that Dou Jiande was no longer enough to cause trouble, so he led his troops to leave. Dou Jiande returned to the plains, collected the stragglers of Gao Shida's department, collected and buried the dead, mourned Gao Shida, and the military prestige was greatly revitalized. Dou Jiande called himself a general. Originally, the thieves captured the Sui officials and the children of the scholar clan and killed them, but Dou Jiande treated them well, so some of the Sui officials surrendered to him, and Dou Jiande became more and more powerful, with more than 100,000 elite soldiers.

Yu Shiji, the servant of the internal history, was disgusted by Emperor Yang to hear about thieves, so the generals and counties around the country were defeated and asked for help, and Yu Shiji deleted and processed them, and did not report them truthfully, but said: "The rats, thieves, dogs, and thieves, the county officials are searching and chasing, and they are about to be completely eliminated." I hope Your Majesty doesn't take it to heart" Emperor Yang thought so, and sometimes scolded the messenger who reported the truth with a cane, thinking that what he said was a lie. Therefore, thieves are all over the sea, conquering the counties, and Emperor Yang does not know the way.

Yang Yichen defeated and collected hundreds of thousands of thieves in Hebei, he wrote the situation on the table to play Emperor Yang, Emperor Yang sighed after reading it: "I haven't heard of thieves to such a point, why are there so many thieves surrendered by Yang Yichen?" Yu Shiji replied: "Although there are many thieves, there is nothing to worry about, Yang Yichen defeated the thieves, but he has a lot of troops, and the generals have been outside the court for a long time, which is the most inappropriate." Emperor Yang said, "What you said is true. So he sent people to recover Yang Yichen and dismiss his soldiers, so that the thieves became strong again.

When Emperor Yang arrived in Jiangdu, where the officials of Jiang and Huai counties met, Emperor Yang asked how many gifts were offered. Those with more courtesies were promoted to county officials and county guards, and those with less courtesies were arbitrarily dismissed from official positions. King Shichong of Jiangdu County offered a bronze mirror screen and was promoted to Tongshou; Zhao Yuankai, the Cheng of Liyang County, presented rare delicacies and was promoted to Jiangdu County. Therefore, the county officials competed with the people to exploit them wantonly in order to enrich the offerings. The people were plundered by thieves on the outside, persecuted by county officials and thieves on the inside, and had no livelihood, and there was no food to eat, so the people began to pick and peel the bark and leaves of trees to satisfy their hunger, and some people pounded straw stalks into pieces for food, and some boiled soil to eat, and when they had eaten up everything they could eat, they ate each other. However, the grain in the government warehouses was still as abundant as ever, and the officials were afraid of the criminal law and did not dare to take food to help the hungry. Wang Shichong also secretly selected Jianghuai folk beauties for Emperor Yang to offer, so he was even more favored by Emperor Yang.

The thief Shuai Geqian of Hejian County has more than 100,000 people, occupies Douzi Yin, and calls himself the king of Yan. Emperor Yang ordered Wang Shichong to lead his troops to attack Ge Qian and kill him. Ge Qian's subordinates Gao Kaidao collected the remnants of the Bohai people, invaded the Yan land, and the army was revitalized again.

At the beginning, Emperor Yang planned to conquer Goryeo, and the equipment and military reserves of the Sui army were accumulated in Zhuo County. Zhuo County is rich in population and products, and there are tens of thousands of Sui troops stationed there. In addition, there are many treasures in the Linshuo Palace, and thieves from all over the world have come to plunder each other. The left-behind official Hu Benlang will Zhao Shizhu and others can't resist, only Hu Benlang will fight alone with Luo Yi, a native of Yunyang, and there are many thieves who have been defeated before and after, Luo Yi's prestige is getting heavier, and Zhao Shizhu and others are secretly jealous of Luo Yi.

Luo Yi was about to rebel, he first publicized it widely to provoke his subordinates, he said: "We have begged the thieves several times to make meritorious contributions, and the grain in the warehouses in the city is piled up, all in the hands of the left-behind officials, but we are not willing to scatter a little to relieve the poor and needy people, what will we rely on to encourage the soldiers in the future" Everyone was extremely angry and resentful. Luo Yi led the army back to the city, and the county went out of the city to greet Luo Yi, Luo Yi arrested the county and lined up to enter the city. Zhao Shizhu and the others were frightened, and they all came to obey orders. So Luo Yi distributed the supplies in the warehouse to reward the soldiers, and opened the granary to give relief to the poor people. Zhuo County obeyed Luo Yi, Luo Yi killed Bohai Taishou Tang and several others who rebelled with him, Wei Zhenyandi, Liucheng and Huaiyuan all attached to Luo Yi. Luo Yi deposed Yang Linfu, the Taishou of Liucheng, changed the county to Yingzhou, and appointed Xiangping Taishou Deng as the governor, and Luo Yi claimed to be the governor of Youzhou.

The Turks invaded the northern borders of the Sui Empire several times. Emperor Yang issued an edict ordering Jinyang to stay behind, and Li Yuan led the Taiyuan Dao army to fight against the Turks with Wang Rengong, the Taishou of Mayi. At this time, the Turks were in a period of strength, and the Sui army in Taiyuan Province and Mayi County was less than 5,000 people, and Wang Rengong was worried about the lack of soldiers. Li Yuan selected 2,000 soldiers who were good at riding and archery, and let these Sui soldiers eat and live exactly like the Turks, and when the Sui cavalry and the Turks met, they waited for the opportunity to attack the Turks, so that the Turks were quite afraid of Li Yuan after repeated victories.

In March of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, Ben Gongzi received a letter from Taiyuan, the letter was written by Li Shimin, and the letter was sent by Li Shimin's henchmen, and the content of this letter made Ben Gongzi breathe a sigh of relief, and finally it was about to start.

The letter described in detail Li Yuan's current mentality and outlook for the future, well, combined with the actual situation, he hopes to be able to raise troops to rebel around the middle of this year, but now, there is a key issue, and Daddy Li Yuan is still hesitating.

Just last month, when the Turks invaded Mayi, Li Yuan sent Gao Junya to lead his troops to fight against the Turks with Wang Rengong, the Taishou of Mayi. Wang Rengong and Gao Junya were not at war with the Turks, and Li Yuan was very worried for fear of being punished together. And Li Shimin and Pei Lin took advantage of the situation to persuade them, but Li Yuan was still hesitating.
