Chapter 563: The Attitude of the Guanlong Nobles
Time is pulled back to the first month of the ninth year of the Great Cause, and the spring cold has not completely subsided, Yang Guang can't wait to recruit a million troops, and once again start to conquer Liaodong Kingdom.
This time, Yang Guang learned from the experience of the first defeat, and did not strictly restrict the rights of the front-line generals, and stopped the offensive without asking the other side to surrender.
Therefore, this time to conquer Liaodong, the war went smoothly at the beginning. But it was soon blocked under the city of Liaodong.
Yang Guang ordered a million man-made cloth bags, which contained soil, to pile up a 30-meter-wide Yuliang Avenue that was higher than the city wall, and directly climbed over the city wall to enter the city.
He also ordered the man to make an eight-wheeled chariot above the city wall, and ordered the archers to shoot down on the city.
If Yang Guang could use this plan for the first time to conquer Liaodong, Liaodong City would have been broken a long time ago, of course, if Yang Guang could not command blindly for the first time, Liaodong might have been destroyed.
But history has no ifs.
Yang Guang was ready and wanted to attack the city, but at this time, the news of Yang Xuangan's rebellion, the son of Yang Su, the Duke of Yueguo, came.
Yang Guangda, who got the news, was shocked.
He didn't care about the rebellion of those low-level people, because he knew that even if those low-level people revolted, they didn't have sharp knives and guns, they didn't have solid armor, even if there were tens of thousands of people, they were just a rabble, and they only needed one or two thousand soldiers, or even hundreds of soldiers, to defeat them.
But Yang Xuangan is different, he is the top nobleman of the Great Sui, and he is the noble gate valve, and his rebellion shows that the noble gate lord has a different heart for the Great Sui.
Yang Xuangan, as a top nobleman, was in a high position in the Sui Dynasty, unlike those ordinary people, Yang Xuangan had enough appeal, he raised his troops and raised his arms, and there may really be a gate lord clan that will follow.
After understanding the seriousness of the matter, Yang Guang did not hesitate at all, even if he was only one step away from breaking through Liaodong City, he still withdrew without hesitation, and even did not even take care of the mountains of ordnance and military materials, and directly ordered the army to return to Luoyang as quickly as possible.
It has been several years since the uprisings in various parts of the world, and Yang Guang has never taken it to heart, but Yang Xuangan rebelled, but Yang Guang was like a great enemy.
Yang Xuangan thought that by capturing Luoyang, he could achieve victory, so he led his army to attack Luoyang. His army did not have much combat effectiveness, and many of them were civilians who had just laid down their hoes.
However, its march went surprisingly smoothly and met little resistance. Soon came to Luoyang City, and even many children of the scholar clan took refuge in him.
This made Yang Xuan feel that as long as he attacked, Luoyang would be overcome. As a result, reality gave him a cold slap in the face.
The soldiers in Yang Xuangan's hands were not well trained, and they did not build siege equipment, so they could not break through Luoyang in a short period of time.
And at this time, Yang Guang, who hastily withdrew his troops from Liaodong and returned, led his army back, and in the face of the elite of the Sui army, Yang Xuangan was not an opponent at all.
If it can abide by the book presented by the strategist and go north to cut off the back road of the Sui army, as long as it holds on for a period of time, the Sui army will naturally collapse, and if it can enter Guanzhong westward, relying on the identity of Guanlong nobles to obtain the support of the Guanlong gate valve, it can also occupy Guanzhong.
As a result, Yang Xuangan chose the lowest strategy and attacked Luoyang. It can only be said that his military level is far below his status.
He didn't expect that Yang Guang's speed would be so fast, Yang Xuangan was not ready to rebel at all, and he didn't even think about how to deal with Yang Guang's return with his army.
Soon Yang Xuangan was defeated, and even he himself was killed.
Yang Xuan's anti-Sui was quickly pacified, but Yang Xuan's anti-Sui made Yang Guang's heart frightened, followed by boundless anger.
After Yang Guang learned that many children of the Shi clan had joined Yang Xuangan's rebels, he directly ordered all those who joined the rebels to be killed. He wants to make those warriors and gatekeepers fearful with killing.
In addition, Yang Guang ordered people to vigorously track down the people involved in the rebellion, and thousands of people were killed, and there was a reason for killing these people, but then Yang Guang opened the warehouse and released the grain, and the people who received the grain were also killed.
Not only those scholars, but even the Guanlong nobles thought that Yang Guang was crazy.
Yang Xuangan's betrayal made Yang Guang more and more suspicious, and he became suspicious of those officials in the imperial court, wondering if these people were going to rebel.
Everyone in the entire Sui Dynasty court was in danger, and many people began to show their loyalty in various ways, these people may be real Sui Dynasty officials, or some conspirators and careerists, but now they all just want to survive in this turbulent court.
When Yang Guang's series of operations in Luoyang reached the ears of everyone in the Wang family, Wang Xuanjing couldn't help but say: "Is Yang Guang's brain flooded?" ”
"Yang Xuan felt troubled, he didn't go to appease the Shi clan gate lords, why did he even kill those people who received food?"
"Does he think that killing alone can settle the world?"
Wang Xuanze's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "He is the most typical aristocratic thinking, he has no people in his heart at all, he is very smart, but now he is hopelessly stupid, he has buried this country." ”
Wang Xuanze and his entourage entered Guanzhong, and the situation in Guanzhong was slightly better than that in Guandong, because this was the basic plate of the Guanlong nobles.
The vast majority of the land in the entire Guanzhong is Guanlong nobles, or people who are attached to Guanlong nobles, even if Yang Guang is dizzy, he still needs to give some face to Guanlong nobles.
After Wang Xuanze came to Guanzhong, he went to visit several old families, after Yang Guang ascended the throne, many people were liquidated, Gao Gong, the Duke of Qi was one of them, Gao Gong was ordered to kill by Yang Guang, and his children were also implicated.
The son was exiled, but he was guarded by the Wang family and the Gao clan along the way, and the Gao family was lonely.
Of course, even if they are lonely, the Gao clan has a lot of power. Of course, in addition to the Gao family, there is also the He Ruo family.
He Ruo's relationship with the Gao family is good, and the relationship with the Wang family is average, but they both hate Yang Guang to the core, and He Ruo's is also a member of the Guanlong aristocracy.
Originally, the head of his family was He Ruobi, a general of the Sui Dynasty, and soon after Yang Guang ascended the throne, He Ruobi, Gao Gong and others were killed by him, but He Ruo's family was not affected.
The Wang family came here to see the attitude of the Guanlong nobles towards Yang Guang.
After the head of the He Ruo family was killed, the status of power was reduced a lot, and the He Ruo family has always wanted to revive the family.
The Wang clan sent people to make some contact with He Ruo's family on the pretext of some trade in goods. Although Guanzhong is rich in products, it is still very interested in the goods of the south.
The most traded by the Wang and He Ruos were salt, sugar, and iron ingots. The two sides just made a deal and left, seemingly saying nothing.
A clan brother of the Huainan Wang clan who was in charge of the transaction asked, "Big brother, what does He Ruo mean by this?" ”
"They've made it clear." Wang Xuanze said with a smile.
The Huainan Wang clan was also wanted by Yang Guang, and until now, the Wang clan had not received any news that Yang Guang had sent people to hunt them down.
Obviously, none of the Guanlong nobles leaked the news of the Wang family to Yang Guang. In this case, are these Guanlong nobles still loyal to Yang Guang? For Yang Guang, loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal.
Now, although these Guanlong nobles have not rebelled now, they are already thinking about rebellion.
