Yang Ming said very clearly in his note to his father, except for the return of the army, I can't clean up the current situation, which is almost equivalent to forcing Yang Guang.

But will Yang Guang eat his set? That's impossible, Yang Guang is too arrogant, in his eyes, everyone else is wrong, and I can solve the things you can't solve.

So his reply to Yang Ming was only one sentence: Zhaomin knows the city, Tian Sui is nearby, and Yiting Village in Yixian County is all built in the city.

What does this mean? Moving all the people to the city will cut off the source of soldiers for the rebels, and second, the rebels will not be able to get supplies from the people in the countryside, which sounds like a good way, but this "Tian Sui is close to the city" can't do it.

It means that the people who moved into the city were given new fields around the city for them to plant, and there were so many fields?

In fact, it's like a beautiful sentence, there is no possibility of implementation, and forcing people to move is more likely to cause civil unrest, who wants to leave their homes and fields?

As soon as Yang Guang's approval to the prince was sent, there was a big thief in Zhuo County, his name was Lu Mingyue, who gathered 8,000 people and plundered the military warehouse in Zhuozhou.

It stands to reason that Zhuozhou is an important place, and there are military warehouses of the front-line army here, how can there be anti-thieves? In fact, it is inevitable.

It is precisely because you have food that you have a thief, and a thief is not stupid, but also conscious, if you have no food, what am I robbing you for?

The current Zhuojun Taishou Wei Baoluan was already confused, and he was going to lose his head if he lost the military warehouse, so he urgently recruited 3,000 people and chased Lu Mingyue to fight.

Lu Mingyue is not stupid, many of the rebels under his command are deserters or people who have fled back from the front line, and they know the location of the military warehouse, so the process went smoothly, but they didn't grab much, because they couldn't carry it, after all, Wei Baoluan had already chased him in person.

The people are afraid of officials, although Lu Mingyue knows in his heart that there must be more people under him than those in the government, but he also knows that this is a group of rabble, once they collide head-on with the officers and soldiers, they will be easily defeated, so he deliberately avoided Wei Baoluan and ran all the way to Shandong.

Zhuo County, formerly called Youzhou, and then Fanyang County, know what Lu Mingyue's background is.

There is no Yujuluo in Hebei, and now there is no principal, basically a plate of loose sand, I don't know who to listen to, and Shandong, there is Zhang Xutuo.

Zhang Xutuo is known as the firefighting general in history, why? Putting aside Wang Bo's gang of thieves the year before last, let's talk about the current one.

Du Fuwei, who came out of Shandong, went to Jianghuai, Zuo Caixiang had been killed by Zhang Xutuo, and Li Zitong also ran south.

In Zhangqiu County, Qi County, there were two anti-thieves, Pei Changcai and Shizihe.

There are two thieves in Beihai County, one Guo Fangpre and one Qin Junhong.

In Zouping County, Qi County, there was a left filial friend.

There are six in Jibei County, Lu Xingxing, Shuai Rentai, Huo Xiaohan, Wu Hailiu, Han Jinluo, and Zhen Baoche.

Dongping County produced Xu Yuanlang, Du Yanbing, and Li Deyi's uncle thief army.

Donghai County produced a Peng Xiaocai.

These are all from Shandong, described in the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were eighteen anti-kings at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and sixty-four roads of smoke and dust, in fact, it is not an exaggeration, in the official history, there should be more than a hundred anti-thieves.

The early anti-thieves were not terrible, they were all some jumping shrimp, and the really terrible ones were the peaches that went down the mountain to pick peaches later, that is, those gate valve families, and the nobles of the family.

In history, some people divide the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty into four stages, the first stage is the rebellion in Hebei and Shandong, which kicked off the prelude to the chaos, the second stage, Yang Xuangan rebelled, shaking the foundation of the imperial court, the third stage, the thieves annexed each other and strengthened, forming a separation, and the fourth stage, Li Yuan, Wang Shichong, Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou, Luo Yi, Shen Faxing, Xiao Milling and other nobles went down the mountain to pick peaches.

But in this life, the second stage should be gone.

Yang Ming absolutely didn't believe that Yang Xuangan would rebel, your only heir, Yang Yuanqing, is still in my hands, don't you want a son?

The military situation from all walks of life came like snowflakes, and the court became a pot of porridge.

Su Wei was even more angry with Yang Ming, he thought that Yang Ming did not try his best to persuade the emperor, although he also knew that our emperor could not persuade him, but he still put on a face in the court.

Especially when I saw the will sent back by the emperor.

"It doesn't work!" Su Wei said in a bad tone: "Moving people to the city, Tian Sui is close to it, the idea is good, it can't be done at all, the current situation is that there is no need to wait for the people to be moved, people are already following the rebels to attack the city." ”

Yang Gongren is also in a hurry: "The four thousand troops sent out by Huangfu Wuyi in advance have been annihilated, and the weapons have been captured by the rebels. ”

Zhai Rang, who doesn't have Li Mi, is not so good, after all, he is the founder of the Wagang Army, and he is still a little capable.

The first 4,000 troops sent by Huangfu Wuyi were lured deep by others and annihilated, and the total annihilation was literal, but the actual situation was that half of the surrender of Zhai Rang made the latter stronger, but the court wanted face, so it was called total annihilation.

Yang Xuan has done three battles, three great victories, and killed countless people, but he doesn't seem to hurt others.

Why? Rebels are civilians, and there is a constant flow of them.

The surrender of the regular army to the rebels shows that the majesty of the imperial court is already very fragile.

Yang Ming took a deep breath and said, "With Zhang Xutuo, lead the three provinces of Henan Province, Shandong Province, and Hebei Province to arrest the ambassador, and give the envoy a festival, which can be done cheaply." ”

In fact, it is just a sentence, as long as you can quell the rebellion, you can do anything, including looting the family, and you can open all the official warehouses within the three paths.

It is equivalent to giving Zhang Xutuo the right to be the governor of the three provinces, because Yang Ming knows that in history, Zhang Xutuo can do anything to anyone, but he can't do it in Wagangzhai with Li Mi.

Li Mi can clean up Zhang Xutuo, but Zhai Rang can't.

Zhang Xutuo is now in Shandong, and it can be said that he has been surrounded by rebels, but the rebels, forced by his prestige, did not dare to take the initiative to provoke Zhang Xutuo who was in Licheng.

After all, the example of Zuo Caixiang is in front of him.

And under Zhang Xutuo, there are now two generals, Qin Shubao, who is in charge of Zhuojun's grain and grass, and Luo Shixin.

Why did Qin Shubao come to Shandong, he chased Lu Mingyue down, Wei Baoluan didn't dare to chase too far, so he could only withdraw to Zhuo County, gave Qin Shubao 500 soldiers, and asked him to continue chasing.

What are you kidding, Lu Mingyue has more than 10,000 people under his command, what can I do with 500 people?

So Qin Shubao went to Qi County, looked for Zhang Xutuo, and halfway through Zhangqiu County, fought a battle with the traitor Pei Changcai and won a big victory.

"Right now, Lu Mingyue is stationed in Zhu'a County, Pei Changcai, Shizihe is in Zhangqiu County, and we already have a three-way anti-thief in Qi County," Ai General Xiong Bao said: "If you want to quell the rebellion outside, these three-way anti-thieves must be defeated, Lu Mingyue has the greatest power, we should clean him up first." ”

In fact, at this time, without the authorization of the imperial court, Zhang Xutuo will also choose to act cheaply, and it is not terrible to offend people, but it is terrible that he cannot explain to the imperial court.

The current situation, according to the Book of Sui. According to the Food Chronicle, nine out of ten people who are called the people of the world are thieves.

It means that out of ten people, nine are anti-thieves, exaggeration is definitely exaggeration, and now they are people from Shandong, and three out of ten are thieves.

Zhang Xutuo now knows very well that if he continues to counterbalance the rebellion in a decent manner, the rebellion in Shandong will only intensify, and he can only take the normal road.

How? If you still cherish the people and dare not plunder the civilian population to replenish military supplies, the counterinsurgency is just a joke.

The bones in this are not only soldiers, but also civilians.

So three days later, Zhang Xutuo reorganized his army and went out of the city and went in the direction of Zhu'a.

This is his first level, this level can't be passed, he can't even get out of Qi County, Lu Mingyue is not an ordinary person, there are more than 30,000 thieves under his command, and he is known as 100,000 to the outside world.

Zhang Xutuo, 5,000 people, known as 50,000 to the outside world, soldiers are not tired of deceit, and anyone can tell lies.

The two armies were separated by the walled city, and they faced each other for four whole days, and Zhang Xutuo had no chance to break the walled wall, so he had no choice but to retreat.

As a result, he withdrew, and Lu Mingyue chased him out.

Zhang Xutuo was overjoyed, and the general said: "The thief sees the soldiers, he will come to chase me, and the crowd is out, and the camp is empty, if the camp is attacked with a thousand people, there will be great benefits, this sincerity is dangerous, who can go?" ”

"I would like to do my job," Luo Shixin said with a sinister smile.

This kid is only fifteen years old this year, he doesn't want to be ruthless, everyone else is the head of the gang, he is cutting his nose, last year, this kid has killed more than 1000 thieves, and the guards under his command will cut off the nose of the corpse when cleaning up the battlefield.

Zhang Xutuo immediately made a decision, and ordered Luo Shixin and Qin Shubao to secretly walk around with a thousand people, while he himself continued to hang Lu Mingyue's pursuers.

After running for most of the day, Lu Mingyue received the news that the camp was burned, in fact, he could see the thick smoke behind him when he looked with his eyes.

So he hurriedly turned the horse's head and led the army back to rescue the camp, and Zhang Xutuo also turned around and chased after him, and Luo Shixin and Qin Shubao, who successfully burned down the rebel camp, also killed and attacked Lu Mingyue.

In the face of the front and rear attacks, coupled with the burning of the camp, Lu Mingyue's army was distraught and wanted to run in the direction of the county seat, but the rebels who stayed in the county saw him defeated and did not open the city gate for him.

In this way, Lu Mingyue finally had only a few hundred people left, and followed him to the southwest.

The army under his command died and surrendered, and Zhang Xutuo selected 5,000 strong men from the captives and incorporated them into his command, and his strength increased greatly.

In history, after Lu Mingyue was defeated, he fled to Henan, and after many years, he grew to 400,000 people, proclaimed himself the supreme king, and later died at the hands of Wang Shichong.

This is very powerful, he has been defeated so badly, and he can even make a comeback in the future, I have to say that this person is definitely capable.

Of course, the constant civil strife in the Great Sui also provided him with space to survive and expand.

Wildfires burn inexhaustibly, and spring breezes blow and regenerate.
