Chapter 339 Eighteen families rebelled against the king, and sixty-four roads were born in the dust
During the Shangyuan Festival, the old emperor Yang Jianyan drove and the crown prince Yang Guang ascended the throne.
The national mourning is flourishing, and there are rumors that Yang Jian was actually killed by Yang Guang against Lun.
At first, people didn't pay attention to this rumor. After all, Yang Guang is the crown prince, and in the case of Yang Jian's old age and illness, the legitimate inheritance is just around the corner, so why do you need to risk leaving a lasting infamy?
However, with Yang Guang's cruel and absurd deeds such as killing and abolishing the crown prince Yang Yong and Emperor Naxian's favorite concubine Mrs. Xuanhua during the mourning, the previous rumors were brought up again, and many people were already half-convinced.
The old minister Wu Jianzhang entered the court in linen and filial piety, and accused Yang Guang of perverse behavior after taking the throne in front of the Manchu civil and military forces, and questioned the cause of the emperor's death.
Yang Guang was annoyed and ashamed, and sent an edict to behead Wu Jianzhang and more than 300 mouths in the door, and sent troops to Nanyang Pass to kill Wu Yunzhao, the son of Wu Jianzhang.
But he didn't prevent Wu Yunzhao from getting the news in Nanyang Pass, and after crying, he established himself as the king of Nanyang, and erected a banner to raise troops against Sui. However, in the corner of Nanyang Pass, it is difficult to be a great Sui soldier after all. However, in the tenth month, Wu Yunzhao broke through the siege alone after the defeat of the army, and even his wife and children were lost.
Although Wu Yunzhao was defeated, it opened the prelude to the swarms of the world to rise up against Sui. After Yang Guang sat on the throne, all kinds of bad natures that he had forcibly suppressed in the past in order to win the favor of his parents were no longer concealed in the slightest, and they broke out unscrupulously, and there was no shortage of wine and wealth.
As the Son of Heaven, every thought is related to the lives of the people. In order to satisfy his own **, Yang Guang naturally wants to expropriate in the world, and the corrupt officials who are responsible for the implementation below will only intensify their efforts to take advantage of the opportunity of expropriation to make a windfall, completely ignoring the life and death of the small people. Under the oppression and torment of the imperial court, countless people were ruined and killed, and finally they took risks in desperation, or gathered in the mountains and forests.
this day. Two war horses came down from Wagang Mountain in Huaxian County, Henan, but the two people sitting upright were Li Jing and his uncle Han Baohu.
Looking up at Wagang Mountain, which is often high and forested and the terrain is dangerous, Han Baohu nodded and smiled: "You two boys' vision is not bad, this mountain can be attacked, retreated and defended, it is really an excellent place to hide and use soldiers." If the business is done properly, even if the enemy sends 120,000 horses, it will not be a problem. It is the foundation of life. ”
Li Jing said with a smile: "Mencius once said that the time is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as the people. As far as the nephew knows, now the imperial court has appointed Zhang Xutuo, the former Qi County Cheng, as the ambassador of the 12 counties of Henan to depose the emperor, and moving to Henan seems to be aimed at his cousin. That Zhang Sutuo has won the heart of the army, and he is very good at using soldiers, and has recently captured and killed Changbai Wang Bo, Pingyuan Hao Xiaode, Yongjun Lu Mingyue and others. Although Wagang Cottage is dangerous, it may not be worthy of Zhang Xutuo's soldiers. The niece invited his uncle to come this time, just to ask you to give you some advice or two, so as not to be taken by that Suda. ”
Han Baohu snorted coldly and said, "I don't need you to order this matter. Since the old man has gotten on your thief ship, he naturally has to show some skills. Although Zhang Sutuo is a famous general, the old man may not be vague about him. ”
The two of them were talking and laughing all the way to the foot of the mountain, when they suddenly heard a whistle in the dense forest on the side of the road, and a team of 100 people rushed out to stop the front.
When Li Jing and Han Baohu looked forward, they saw that they were all young and strong soldiers in their twenties and thirties, all of them wearing the same dark color suits, and their upper bodies were covered with armor lined with steel sheets and cowhide. He held a bow and arrows in his hand, and a quiver and a long knife hung from his waist. The two of them, one in their past life and the other in this life, are veteran generals who have led soldiers all their lives. After just a few glances, he judged from the attire, pace, movements, and eyes of this team of minions that they were all elites who could do everything in long-range and close combat.
"Where did the two friends come from, and why did they get to our Wagang Mountain?" asked one of the minions in the lead, stepping forward and clasping his fists.
When Li Jing was about to step forward, Han Baohu took a step ahead of him and urged him to step forward, and shouted: "Who is the old man, you boys are not qualified to listen." Hurry up the mountain and tell Han Shige. He said that his old son was here, and asked him to go down the mountain immediately and kneel down to pick him up!"
The leader didn't know what was going on, he just thought that the old man in front of him was talking wildly, and he couldn't help but be angry, and he was about to open his mouth to scold. Suddenly, Li Jing, who was behind Han Baohu, raised his right hand and showed a six-inch long purple bamboo arrow. He was still clever, and just about to say something, he took it back, and his face changed and he smiled: "Since this is the case, please wait at the bottom of the mountain, and the little one will immediately go up the mountain to inform the owner of the village." ”
After saying that, he instructed the soldiers behind him to watch carefully and not to wait for the people who came, and he himself ran up the mountain like a fly.
After a while, only the sound of horses' hooves on the mountain was heard, and a red charcoal horse rolled down from the mountain like a cloud of fire, and in an instant it had arrived in front of Han Baohu's horse. Immediately, a hero with a tiger body and a wolf waist and an iron face and short beard turned over and came first, pounced on the dust and kowtowed again and again, and said: "No, I will meet my father!"
Han Baohu and his son have not seen each other for several years, and seeing that his son's demeanor and bearing are very different from when he was by his side, it is obvious that he has gained a lot from his experience over the years. He was relieved in his heart, but he was used to being a strict father and couldn't pull his face to get close to his son for a while, so he only snorted lightly: "That's it, go and see your cousin." ”
Over there, Li Jing also got off the horse early and stepped forward to greet Han Shige.
Han Shige smiled and said: "Cousin, you are very unkind, and after throwing this cottage to a foolish brother, you will go to the four lakes and the world on your own." Now that you, the main master, have returned, you have to take over the position of the owner of the village as soon as possible, and the foolish brother can only lead the troops in the future, and the other messy things will be yours. ”
"This ......" This Wagangzhai was originally one of the Fuzi arranged by Li Jing, and now it is also due to receive it in his hands, but he was worried that his uncle would have some ideas, so he couldn't help but hesitate slightly.
Han Baohu has lived for decades and has never experienced anything, so he understood what Li Jing was thinking at that time, and reprimanded on the side: "It's all a family, how can you use such a mother-in-law and mother? In the future, we will have to do great things, and he will not be able to carry the burden of the leader. This matter can be decided by the old man at a glance, in the future, you will be the master of Wagang, and our father and son will help you. ”
Li Jing was moved in his heart, and bowed deeply to the old man and said, "Thank you, uncle!"
When he arrived at Wagang Mountain, Han Shige held a feast for his father and cousin, and explained the abdication to the big and small leaders in the village in public at the banquet. First, he has always been good at the cottage, secondly, Li Jing's name is also loud enough, and thirdly, they are close relatives, and it is not the turn of outsiders to make irresponsible remarks, and they have successfully completed the handover.
After Li Jing took over the helm of Wagangzhai, he first wrote an article against the tyrant Yang Guangyu, so that people could spread it all over the world. At the end of the article, there are more words: "The waves of the East China Sea are inexhaustible, and the bamboo of the South Mountain is exhausted, and the sins of the book are endless", and called on people of insight from all over the world to go to Wagang Mountain to join the great cause of Kuangzheng and eliminate violence.
As soon as this article came out, there was a sensation in the sea, and heroes from all over the world responded, anxious like thirsty horses running to the spring, hurried like hungry birds into the forest, and went to the mountains to join in.
At that time, the anti-Sui forces that were only famous and surnamed claimed to have "18 anti-kings and 64 roads of smoke and dust", and the Great Sui, which was climbing to the peak of its prosperity, fell into a stormy situation in a blink of an eye. (To be continued......)
