Chapter 555: Wang's Anger Yang Guang deserves to die
The Wang family contributed money and food to support Yang Guang, not because they felt that Yang Guang could really become an emperor through the ages, but because they didn't want to provoke him at this time.
Although the Wang family looks down on Yang Guang and even despises him, there is one thing that cannot be ignored, that is, Yang Guang, who controls the upper and lower levels of the Great Sui Dynasty, has a power that the Huai'an Wang family can resist at all.
No matter how dissatisfied Wang is in his heart, he will endure and give up some of his interests, as long as he does not touch Wang's bottom line, he can talk, but once he touches the bottom line, Wang will fight back strongly.
For example, the current Great Sui is really going to force the Wang family to be in a hurry, and the Wang family will give up the Huai'an foundation and turn it into pieces, and directly use the Mandate of Heaven artifact to directly assassinate Yang Guang.
Yang Guang is now a little arrogant, feeling that the Great Sui is invincible, and he has absolute rights as an emperor. I really feel that I have a constitution in my mouth and can do anything.
At this time, with Yang Guang's hard top, he will definitely be hit by the thunder of the Great Sui. The Wang family is not an iron-headed baby, so he has to touch this mold.
As long as you give him some money and food, you can coax him well, and the Wang family doesn't mind giving more money and food, after all, the Wang family, who has an overseas foundation, doesn't have to worry about money and food at all.
And Yang Guang is so arrogant, regards the people of the world as grass mustard, without a trace of mercy, and continues to expropriate and extort like this, the people of the world are unbearable to oppress, and the whole world will rebel when the time comes.
After all, among the hundreds of millions of people, there has never been a shortage of rebels.
Transporting grain for thousands of miles is death, digging canals is also death, and planning is also death, so is there still a choice?
On the surface, rights are top-down, but real rights are always bottom-up.
What can Yang Guang do even if he is the emperor, without the people who support him, what will he use to maintain a strong Sui Dynasty army, without the army in hand, how many people will obey his orders?
Yang Guang did not see the essence of power clearly, acted recklessly, and will soon be punished.
Soon after the completion of the Grand Canal, Yang Guang couldn't hold back anymore and directly ordered to attack Liaodong. In order to show his national prestige, Yang Guang ordered to lead an army of one million, levy hundreds of thousands of laborers, countless money, grain, equipment, cattle and horses, known as two million troops, and attack Liaodong.
When the news reached Huai'an, everyone in the Wang family was stunned by Yang Guang's operation.
Two million troops to conquer Liaodong?
Others may not know the terrain of Liaodong very well, but the Wang family is very clear about the terrain of Liaodong.
From Youzhou to Liaodong, only Liaoze can pass, otherwise you have to go far from the grassland. It is difficult to pass, and if there are really two million people going there, transportation alone is a big problem.
Moreover, except for the swamps, the cities of Liaodong are all built on the mountains, which can be said to be easy to defend and difficult to attack. An army of one million will not be able to launch a formation at all.
As long as you have a little military common sense, you can understand that sending so many people is completely foolish.
In the hall of the Huainan Wang family, everyone frowned at Yang Guang's operation.
"Big brother, do you think Yang Guang can succeed this time?" A family member next to him asked.
"An army of millions, since the fall of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, has never been, such a large-scale mobilization of troops, attacking a small country, I can't say whether it can win!" Wang Xuanze shook his head slowly.
"Big brother doesn't know?"
"After all, in terms of strength, an army of one million should not lose no matter how you attack a country with a population of one million, but the terrain of Liaodong and Yang Guang's character"
"Yang Guang should lose!" Wang Xuanying suddenly spoke.
"Why?" The crowd asked.
"Because of the grain!" Wang Xuanying sighed and said: "Yang Guang claims to be an army of two million, although it is an exaggeration, but the real number of soldiers and people, there are 1.3 million. ”
"How much food do so many people need, millions of stones are not enough, even if there is a canal, the grain can be transported to Jimen, but from here to Liaodong transportation, you can only go to Liaoze."
"The road in Liaoze is narrow and difficult to travel, and the supply of hundreds of thousands of troops only depends on this narrow Liaoze, how can it meet the needs of a million troops?"
"When the time comes, the food will not be transferred, and the soldiers will be hungry, how can they break through the city and win?"
"What's more, Yang Guang will go to the front line? If you don't go to the front line, how can you know the situation of the war? If you don't know the battle situation, how can you command? ”
"If he's smart, then stay in Jimen and send a general there, so that there may be hope of victory, otherwise."
When everyone heard this, their hearts also felt dull, although Yang Guang was tyrannical and abused the people's power, but the soldiers and people under his command were all the heritage of Zhuxia.
If it is victorious, it is fine, but if it is defeated, how many dead and wounded will the two million army have?
"Bang!" Wang Xuanze slapped the table hard.
"Yang Guang damn it!"
"The family has to do something!" Wang Xuanze said hatefully: "He Yang Guang doesn't treat the people as people, we can't be indifferent." ”
"This time, I will personally lead the team to the north, if the Great Sui is really defeated, I will lead people to collect the defeated army and the displaced people, at least there will be fewer deaths, and leave some vitality for Zhuxia."
"Big brother, if you want to go, the little sister doesn't dare to dissuade you, but if you save the defeated army and the people, how is the big brother going to deal with it?" Wang Xuanying said.
Everyone immediately realized this problem, if these people were put back, the power of the Wang clan would definitely be leaked at that time, but if they were not put back, what should these people do if they made trouble?
"Why don't you send these people to Ryukyu Island?" Wang Xuanjing said.
"No!" And they were all against it.
"It's better to go back like this, if you don't want to go back, you can send it to Ryukyu Island, and if you are willing to go back to the Central Plains, you can enter the cottages we built in various places.
"If the Great Sui is defeated this time, I am afraid that the world will be in turmoil immediately, and there will be smoke all over the world, and we will be dormant for a year or two at most, and then the world will be against us, so there is no need to hide." Wang Xuanze said.
"Brothers, the next step is to prepare enough food, clothing and other materials, and arrange these people."
"No!" Everyone bowed their hands.
Next, Wang Xuanze personally led people to Liaodong, accompanied by several other descendants of the Wang family and five hundred Lin Wei.
After they went north, there were 3,000 navies with hundreds of ships to meet them from the sea.
Because the imperial court was assembled in Zhuo County, the army was numerous, the team stretched for hundreds of miles, and the team carrying grain was endless.
Wang Xuanze led people north is also considered to be one of them, and no one doubts it at all. When everyone came to Hebei and Shandong, there were a large number of people's corpses lying on both sides of the road, and no one even buried them along the way, and a large number of people escorted grain and grass to the road.
Many of the fields on both sides of the road are uncultivated and have been completely deserted.
In such a scene, even if Wang Xuanze was mentally prepared, he still felt angry. It was not a year of great calamity, but the people lived in such hardship.
