Chapter 61: Vote from all directions

As the days passed, Zhang Xiao became more and more confident in being able to capture Chang'an.

Similarly, Zhang Xiao relied more heavily on Bi Tai, a little-known thinker.

Bi Tai said to Zhang Xiao that the strategic concept of "attacking Tongguan and coercing Chang'an" has begun to reap.

Before the defeat of Tongguan, Zhang Xiao was just a well-known anti-king all the way, and because Zhang Xiao attacked Tongguan, he naturally became the leader of the peasant rebel army without Zhang Xiao realizing it.

For example, the two said that the number one thief in the world, Wang Bo, the "Zhishilang" of Changbai Mountain, only had thousands of men under his command, and he did not even take down a county seat.

Later, the three famous anti-thief strengths, Dou Jiande, Zhai Rang, and Du Fuwei, some have not yet rebelled, and some of them can't even compare to Wang Bo.

However, Zhang Xiao was able to capture Tongguan, and immediately made a judgment.

If you don't count Yang Xuangan, a "noble child", Zhang Xiao can be said to be the anti-king of today's No. 1 character.

is still the same sentence, heroes create the times, the times create heroes, Zhang Xiao just occupies the so-called situation.

If it weren't for Yang Xuangan's rebellion and attack on the capital Luoyang, which attracted all the attention of the Great Sui, and the soldiers and horses were concentrated near Luoyang, when Zhang Xiao occupied Mianchi County, he would face the crushing of the Sui Dynasty's army.

Strictly speaking, the Sui Dynasty was still very strong, and if it weren't for the fact that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was too strict in "making death", it had reached a situation of art, and the Sui Dynasty would have at least a few hundred years of national glory.

In a sense, the fall of the Sui Dynasty is also a wonder in the world.

Because the people of the world did not rise up because of hunger, the Sui Dynasty had just been established, and the land annexation was not so eye-catching, so the people were still able to eat half full.

However, when the problem was the case, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty fought in the east and west, went down to the south of the Yangtze River, and dug the Grand Canal, which resulted in the forced labor to the unprecedented Cheng dù, and nine out of ten households among the people in the world suffered unspeakably because of various kinds of forced labor.

This time in the second expedition to Goryeo, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who died were not concerned, but the dead people were counted in millions.

The little family wealth that Emperor Wen of Sui accumulated for Emperor Yang of Sui was almost squandered by Emperor Yang of Sui.

After Zhang Xiao came to this world, he gradually understood that Emperor Yang of Sui was indeed a promising monarch, and he did so many great things when he was only thirty years old.

But in the same way, if the Sui Dynasty does not die, it is also without heavenly principles.

A spark can start a prairie fire.

Yang Xuangan's fire almost burned the fire of the Sui Dynasty's family gatekeeper class, but Zhang Xiao burned the flame of the people of the world.

Therefore, people from all walks of life in the world have come to vote.

Not to mention anything else, the surrounding cottages all took Zhang Xiao as the leader of the alliance and responded one after another.

For example, the most powerful of them are Wu Yunzhao, the owner of Tuoluo Village, and Wu Tianxi, two brothers, both of whom are first-class and top powerhouses, and if they join forces, they will be considered grandmaster-level powerhouses, and he has 3,000 people under his command.

In addition to the Wu family brothers, there are also Liangzhou Li Liang with 10,000 horses, which is the largest number of people.

Exceptionally, Zhai Rang of Wagang and Zhu Wei of Nanyang all wrote letters one after another, with the intention of forming an alliance with Zhang Xiao.

Luo Sixing, Pu Xianggang, Shen Linshan, Zai Kang and other unknown bandits and grass cobs have all defected, many thousands, and few dozens.

Coupled with the 60,000 horses recruited by Zhang Xiao himself, Zhang Xiao now has nearly 200,000 available soldiers.

Even Zhang Xiao himself couldn't figure out the specific numbers, because they were blowing very loudly.

Of course, quantity is one thing, quality is another, and most of them are actually "chopping wood for soldiers and rising from the pole", which is simply unorthodox.

In fact, if it weren't for Zhang Xiao's foresight to lay down the important grain production base of Luoning County, with enough squandered grain, the group of people under his command would have dispersed long ago.

Providence is like a knife, people's hearts are unpredictable, and Zhang Xiao can't figure out what these conspirators under his command are thinking.

The Wu brothers are better, and the blind can see that the two of them rebelled in order to avenge and overthrow the Sui Dynasty, so they can be regarded as having the same heart as Zhang Xiao.

As for Li Liang, the king of Daliang, just by his name and what he did, I know that his mind is the same as Liu Bang's, "a big husband should be like this", and he wants to be the emperor, although he can obey Zhang Xiao for the time being, but he will inevitably part ways after a long time.

These are at least barely heroes, but there are a lot of ghosts and ghosts.

For example, a strong man who claims to be "good in the two mountains", has only 1,000 people under his command, and they are all crooked melons and cracked dates, but the shelf is bigger than Yang Guangdu, so he asked Zhang Xiao to receive him in person.

And what he did made Zhang Xiao want to stab him to death with a sword, but then he couldn't stand it anymore, so he let his personal guard captain Xiong Kuohai pull out to practice well, so that he couldn't see it and was not bothered.

The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, Zhang Xiao knows that since he conquered Tongguan, his subordinates have become a bottomless pool, and it is normal for them to become turbid.

Because Zhang Xia's strength has become very strong, it will lead to the emergence of this situation.

I have to say that Bi Tai's vision is indeed very good, after attacking Tongguan and then creating the momentum of attacking Chang'an, people from all walks of life are indeed like-minded.

In addition to allies, there are also countless people from all walks of life who directly defect to Zhang Xiao.

Among them, the famous ones are "Red Spirit Official" Shan Xiongxin, Xingyang Zhang Liang, Shanggu Wang Junkuo, Changping Li Shicai, Huaiyang Wei Liuer, Li Deqian, Zhang Qian, and Wei County Li Wenxiang.

In addition, under the recommendation of Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, a heavyweight, also joined Zhang Xiao's forces and became the director of the secretariat.

In addition to heavyweights like Du Ruhui, there are many ordinary talents, and interestingly, most of these people are "Jinshi" who stood out in the imperial examination.

It is precisely because of the existence of these talents that Zhang Xiao has completely come out of government affairs.

After all, Zhang Xiao thought that his ability was not enough, so he was willing to delegate power, and in terms of government affairs, he directly handed over to the "Military Aircraft Department", "Secretariat", and "Parliamentary Office" to deal with, and rarely asked about their situation, but Du Ruhui and others always brought a batch of documents like Zhang Xiao to ask for advice.

Zhang Xiao can feel that his current power can be said to be thriving, and Zhang Xiao even has a feeling that even if he doesn't have the secret passage of Yang Gong's treasure house, he has the ability to break through Chang'an.

(Thanks to "a pot of sake who drinks", "Misty Rainbow Lee" two brothers for the reward, if there are two more brothers to reward, I will add a more chapter tomorrow, and if you want to be a trick in the book, tell me, as long as the name is not too curious, I will add.) )
