The North has just completed its reunification, and it seems that it is about to fall into division again.

Yang Jian's behavior stabbed the hornet's nest, and the rebels continued to pour out, and there was a call for the clan to call for Yu Wenjian, and in just one month, more than a dozen opposition forces emerged, and they all respected Yu Wenjian as orthodoxy, and they were bound to defeat Yang Jian.

For a while, many of the ministers in Chang'an City who participated in the change of regime panicked, but Yang Jian was not nervous at all, he knew that these people seemed to be menacing, but in fact they were not one heart, although there were hardcore supporters of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but they all had their own small abacus.

The scheming Yang Jian has already seen that the gang of people who are pouring out now is his last stumbling block, as long as he can defeat these opponents and capture Yuwenjian, then the entire Northern Zhou regime can become a bag of goods.

Among these opponents, the most feared by Yang Jian was neither those generals, nor Yu Wenjian, the king of Qi, who was pushed out as the co-master, but Wei Chi Yuan, who was the general manager of the Qizhou march, which was the biggest opponent he feared the most.

As early as Yu Wenyun had just died, and after Yang Jian became the prime minister of Zuoda, he began to worry that Wei Chi Yuan, who had a heavy army in his hands, would become a stumbling block for him in the future, so he sent his confidant Wei Xiaokuanzheng to Jinan City, Qizhou to summon him to Beijing.

But Wei Chi Hui had already seen his bad intentions from Yang Jian's series of behaviors, you can say that it was because of his loyalty to the Northern Zhou, or it can be said that Wei Chi Hui also had his own ambitions, anyway, Wei Chi Hui was not only unwilling to leave Qizhou, but even prepared to kill Wei Xiaokuan.

Because Wei Xiaokuan didn't just go to invite Wei Chi Hui to finish the matter, he was still making another preparation, that is, while inviting Wei Chi Hui to enter Beijing, he was also secretly contacting Wei Chi Yuan's deputy Jin Chang, and once Wei Chi was unwilling to leave his army, he would launch a mutiny and kill him.

What Wei Xiaokuan didn't expect was that Wei Chi Hui actually discovered his actions, fortunately Wei Xiaokuan ran away before he found out that the matter was revealed, otherwise there would be nothing for him to do in the future, but Po Liu Han Li, who went to persuade Jin Chang to mutiny, fell into the hands of Wei Chi Yuan.

After Wei Chi Hui killed Jin Chang and Po Liuhan in a rage, he gathered the civil and military warriors in Qizhou and other places, swore to raise troops, and the governor of Qingzhou, Wei Chi Qin, raised troops to respond to his uncle, with a total of 100,000 troops, so that Wei Chi Hui had more than 300,000 troops in his hands.

Other places in Gongzhou, Shenzhou, Xuzhou, and Dongchuzhou also responded with troops after learning that Wei Chi had raised troops against Yang Jian, and the momentum was extremely huge.

At that time, the territory of the Northern Zhou Dynasty included most of present-day Shaanxi, Ningxia, Gansu and Sichuan, the southwestern part of Shanxi, the western part of Hubei, and the entire Jiangbei region in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

However, the uprising of Wei Chi Hui and others caused the signs of riot and instability in Shanxi, Henan, Hubei, Sichuan, and other large areas east of Shaanxi, and even the military generals sent to suppress them were suspected of being bribed by Wei Chi Hui.

Wei Chi Hui raised troops in Qizhou in the middle of November of the 24th year of the Xia calendar, Sima Xiaonan raised troops in Yunzhou in early December, and Wang Qian raised troops in Yizhou in early January of the 25th year of the Xia calendar, which is known as the "Rebellion of the Three Governors" in history.

In fact, these three people were only the three who were the most powerful against Yang Jian, and there were many others who opposed Yang Jian, but because those rebellions were quickly extinguished, the impact was very small and was ignored.

In the face of the menacing army, Yang Jian was very embarrassed, after all, Wei Chi Hui was a general who was very good at fighting in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, after some thinking, he finally chose Wei Xiaokuan to deal with the strongest Wei Chi Hui, which proved to be his wise choice.

Wei Xiaokuan was actually one of the famous generals of the Northern Zhou Dynasty very early, although his martial arts were not good, but he was very literate, Wen Taowu was extremely good at it, and he could be regarded as a Confucian general in the Western Wei Dynasty-Northern Zhou Dynasty.

As early as when Yuwentai just decided to rebel against Gao Huan, Wei Xiaokuan had become a general of the Western Wei Dynasty, and in the Battle of Yubi (546 AD), he led his army to hold on to Yubi City to block the attack of Gao Huan's army of more than 100,000 people, holding on for more than two months, killing and wounding more than 70,000 Gao Huan.

In the end, this battle became a strategic turning point between the Eastern Wei and Western Wei dynasties, and the invincible King Gao (Gao Huan) finally died under the city of Yubi, so he died of illness and depression, and the battle organized by Wei Xiaokuan became a model of winning more with less, and became famous all over the world.

After selecting the candidate to deal with Wei Chi Hui, Yang Jian used Liangrui to deal with Wang Qian, the governor of Yizhou, and Wang Yi to deal with Sima Xiaonan, the governor of Yunzhou.

At the same time, Yang Jian was still constantly winning over and enlisting the support of other old and important ministers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, among which the representative figure was Li Mu, the governor of Bingzhou.

Li Mu is Yuwentai's savior, and he and Wei Chi are very good comrades-in-arms, the two treat each other sincerely, but Yang Jian coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and held the name of righteousness, and finally Li Mu chose to support Yang Jian, which affected the decision of many Northern Zhou elders.

There is another very important reason why these Northern Zhou elders decided to choose Yang Jian, that is, although the strength of the Northern Zhou Dynasty can already unify the world, the northern Turks are still there, and a more powerful Xia regime suddenly appeared in the northeast. Reading the book

Once the Northern Zhou Dynasty fell into a long-term war, I am afraid that the Xia State would not be there to watch, and it is very likely to take advantage of the civil war in the Northern Zhou Dynasty to march into the Central Plains.

As many veterans of the Northern Zhou Dynasty chose to support Yang Jian, Yang Jian gradually changed from a draw with the three governors at the beginning to gradually gain the upper hand, and other forces that originally had a wait-and-see attitude fell to Yang Jian when they saw this, so his strength became stronger.

Although Li Mu took refuge in Yang Jian, his nephew suddenly told Wei Xiaokuan's generals Liang Shiyan, Yu Wenxin, and Cui Hongdu that they had taken bribes, and Zheng Yi and Liu Fang, who were important ministers, were ready to remove a few people, but Yang Jian was worried about the disadvantages of being easy to general.

In the end, it was Li Delin who proposed to use Gao Zhen as a supervisor to inspect their behavior on the front line.

Gao Zhen is a subordinate of Yang Jian's father-in-law Dugu Xin, after Zhao Gui rebelled, Dugu Xin was also forced to commit suicide because of his knowledge, and he has been following Yang Jian since then, so Yang Jian listened to Li Delin's advice, and only sent a prison army, but did not change generals.

After Gao Hui came to Hayang, where Wei Xiaokuan was stationed, the army soon set off and followed the Yellow River army to the Jeju area where Wei Chi Hui was marching.

Wei Xiaokuan and Wei Chi Hui led a large army to launch a large-scale battle between Jeju, Liangzhou, and Yecheng, in an area of thousands of miles north and south of the Great Henan.

Fortunately, the vast majority of the people here were evacuated by Wang Yong at the beginning, so there were not too many casualties, although some people from the Northern Zhou Dynasty have migrated here, but the number of people here is still very small compared to the dense population in the past.

This fight was more than a month, although Wei Chi Hui had strong troops and Yu Wenjian as the banner, but Yang Jian's side mastered the horse breeding land and the most cavalry in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and there was also a strong boat division to assist, so after more than a month of fighting, even if Wei Chi Hui was good at fighting, he began to show defeat.

Facts have proved that Wei Xiaokuan's strength is incomparable, as long as he grasps Wei Chi Yuan's weaknesses, he immediately grasps these weaknesses, and then quickly expands these advantages, and soon Wei Chi Yuan is defeated under Wei Xiaokuan's attack and retreats to Jinan City.

Finally, in the middle of February of the 25th year of the Xia calendar, Wei Xiaokuan used the gunpowder produced by the Northern Zhou Dynasty to blow up a section of the city wall of Jinan, and the army successfully entered the city.

With the defeat of Wei Chi Yuan, Yang Jian breathed a sigh of relief, the most difficult opponent had been completely defeated, so the remaining two were not far away.

Only half a month after the defeat of Wei Chi Yuan, in early March, Sima Xiao, the governor of Yunzhou, fled to Nanchen after the defeat of the army, so Yunzhou Ping, followed by the defeat of Zhou Jing Emperor Yu Wenyan's father-in-law Wang Qian in mid-March, Yizhou was pacified, and the three governors all failed.

During the war, Yang Jian took various methods to defeat the neighboring countries such as the Turks, Xia and Nanchen, first marrying the princess of Qianjin and pro-Turkic, so that Sha Bolu Khan, who was already extremely hostile to the Xia State, helped the Sui Dynasty contain the Xia State to prevent the Xia State from taking advantage of the fire to rob.

Then he feinted with a large army in Jiangbei in Jingkou and Jiankang, pretending that the army could cross the river and go south at any time, so as to intimidate Nan Chen and prevent Nan Chen from interfering in the war in the north, so it only took less than a year for Yang Jian to completely defeat all opponents.

Yang Jian, who had done all this, looked around at the Central Plains and there was no country left to defeat him, but he was proud but he didn't know that all this was happening under Wang Ze's nose, and almost every decision he made would be known by Wang Ze.

At this moment, Yang Jian had already begun to prepare to officially seize the fruits of the Northern Zhou regime.

But at this time, Yang Jian was very depressed to find that his daughter Yang Lihua, who supported him in power, became his enemy again at this moment, she was like a female beast protecting her calves, guarding Zhou Jing Emperor Yu Wenyan, who was only eight years old.

Although Yu Wenyan is not Yang Lihua's biological son, but because his mother died early and was raised by Yang Lihua, he is like his own son, Yang Lihua resolutely opposes Yang Jian's usurpation, although in the end he was forced to helpless, but also insisted on leaving Yu Wenyan's life.

Although Yang Jian cherishes his daughter, what is all this in front of the emperor's power? Soon, he ignored the opposition of Li Delin and others, and killed the Northern Zhou clan, just like when Yuwen Yong killed the Northern Qi clan in Yecheng.

In the summer of the twenty-fifth year of the Xia calendar, Yang Jian forced Emperor Zhou Jing Yu Wenyan to take the throne, and Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty from then on, with the name of Kaihuang, and the eldest daughter Yang Lihua who opposed Yi Quan was Princess Leping, and the eldest son Yang Yong served as the governor of Luzhou and Xiaozuka Zai, with Dugu as the queen.

It only took less than a year for Yang Jian to usurp power and establish a powerful empire of his own, but after becoming the emperor, he realized that he had dug a big hole for himself.

This big pit is nothing else, but the princess who married the Turks in the first place, actually instigated the Turks to attack her!
