Chapter 219 Rebellion and proclaiming emperor

Are there any sects of kings, princes, generals and ministers?

This has basically been a slogan that all rebels must shout since Qin. This slogan Chen Sheng and Wu Guang shouted, but they failed. In the next thousand years, many people shouted, some succeeded and some failed.

And now, Yang Xuangan, the first great man in the Great Sui Dynasty who shouted this slogan, was at his end of his life and had no way out.

Yang Xuangan rebelled, Li Mi made a plan, and General Li Zixiong also escaped from the Goguryeo front line to participate in the rebellion. There were countless other followers, some of whom were ambitious and wanted to earn the merits of the Dragon. Fortunately, the new dynasty was seeking wealth. Some were declining nobles, unwilling to fall into the Sui Dynasty, so they rebel.

But more of them are those ignorant people who fight to the ground. In the troubled times, these people are just grass on the wall. When the strong wind blows, they can only helplessly follow them, in order to live under the knife for a few more days and have a meal to eat.

Yang Xuangan had a good time to choose. It was when the whole country was in the sea, and the country was in a state of resentment because of the construction of canals and conquering the people. Unfortunately, he failed in the end. For more than a month, Yang Xuangan went from being the first few hundred clans to the end of dozens of generals and more than 100,000 soldiers, and even many nobles of the Sui Dynasty had defected to him.

It’s a pity that although Old Man Fan Zigai, who was left behind in the East Capital, was defeated by him one after another, the old man relied on the high city and strong walls of Luoyang, and Gao Ji’s battle-free card was no longer the same. By nearly September, General Wei Wen, who was known as the Huadao General, raised 50,000 troops to advance eastward. The Navy General came to Hu'er to command 100,000 naval troops and headed north along the Grand Canal. What’s even more terrible is that Yang Guang had already returned from Liaodong.

Generals Yuwen Shu, Yang Yichen, and Qu Tutong commanded 100,000 elite cavalry and had already gone south. Moreover, the left-behind generals near the Dongdu also surrounded them with more or less troops.

At the last moment, Yang Xuangan summoned the major generals to discuss secretly. General Li Zixiong said first, "The reinforcements from the eastern capital have arrived more and more. Our army is defeated several times and cannot stay for a long time. It is better to go straight to Guanzhong and open a granary to boost poverty. The three auxiliary officers can be ordered to establish their commands. They have a treasury and fight for the world in the east. This is also the cause of a king."

Dongdu seemed to be unable to stay, and everyone was already thinking about running away.

Immediately afterwards, Li Mi also said, "Yuan Hongsi was in Longyou, so he could declare his rebellion and send an envoy to welcome the Duke. Therefore, he could enter the pass and help the crowd." This means that we spread rumors that Yuan Hongsi (a relative of Husizheng who fled to Goguryeo) was going to rebel, and then pretended to be an official army to deceive Tongguan, and then went straight to Chang'an!

When everyone heard this, they nodded in agreement, but they didn't know that Yang Guang had already taken the lead at this time and sent Li Yuan Honghua to stay and control Guanyou and the 13 counties in Longxi. When they went at this time, they were just throwing themselves into the trap.

If this strategy can be strictly implemented, the ownership of the world is really unknown, because its operability is indeed very strong! If Yang Xuangan successfully captured Tongguan and approached Chang'an, it is hard to say whether he could seize the world, but at least he would not be defeated so quickly and thoroughly.

However, in order to perfectly implement this strategy, two conditions must be met. One is fast, but Yin! Fast, you can get rid of the government army; Yin, you can seize Tongguan in a short time. Both are indispensable!

On that day, Yang Xuangan and others hurriedly led their troops to move westward. To put it bluntly, they ran away.

Unfortunately, he ran to a place called Xiannong, which is Yang Su's hometown. Yang Xuangan heard that the local prefect actually burned his house, and he was angry and swept the troops to siege Hongnong County for three consecutive days. Before the city was over, the cavalry commanded by Yuwen Shu, Yang Yichen and Qu Tutong had already caught up.

Yuwen Shu, Yang Yichen, and Qu Tutong were not considered famous generals, but they were all veterans who had been in charge of soldiers for half their lives. The cavalry under them were all Yang Guang's inner army guards. Tens of thousands of people faced a rebel army composed of poor people who had just washed their feet and got ashore. They cut melons and vegetables. Like all the predecessors in history, Yang Xuangan's more than 100,000 troops scattered one after another, and they were killed and cried. In the end, in the chaos, only more than ten cavalry of Yang Xuangan and others fled the battlefield.

After running for a day and a night, all the remaining ten riders were gone and they ran away.

Standing on the bank of an unknown river, the once richest young man from the Sui Dynasty was now full of his head and covered in mud. He raised his head and looked silently at the white clouds in autumn and the lonely flying geese. The cool breeze swept across his face and blew away his hair!

At this moment, he was completely disappointed and turned to the last person beside him. His younger brother Yang Xuanzong said, "It's a failure, I can't be killed by others, you can kill me!"

In the depression of silence, Yang Xuanzong pulled out his horizontal knife, closed his eyes, and then chopped down hard! A big head rolled onto the grass, so sad that no one witnessed his last moment except for a few unknown insects in the grass. With the head of the Sui Dynasty, the biggest rebellion in the Sui Dynasty was over.

Although Yang Xuangan was dead, Yang Guang had no intention of finishing the matter.

On that day, Yang Guang received an urgent report from the Dongdu, and led hundreds of thousands of troops, following Yuwen Shu's vanguard's army to advance into the Central Plains. However, after passing Beiping County and arriving at Zhuo County, he arrived at Hejian County, and once again came to Dongdu, news came again that Yang Xuangan had already taken his troops to Chang'an.

When Yang Guang saw that the siege of the Eastern Capital had been lifted, he simply was too lazy to go to Luoyang again. He was so frightened that he had not even had a good sleep for more than a month. What's more, in his heart, when the victory of the Liao Dynasty was completed, he was defeated by Yang's rebellion, which made him feel willing. Finally, he simply ordered the entire army to turn from Hejian County to west, and the entire army entered Boling County, where he stationed.

According to his intention, once Yang Ni was pacified, his army could immediately go north again and march eastward to siege Goguryeo. For this reason, a special order was specially changed to Boling County to Gaoyang County, and the temporary emperor's residence was stationed.

In September, Yuwen Shu sent back the news of good news, and the rebel Yang Xuangan's rebels were destroyed. Yang Xuangan died. General Li Zixiong, Duke Li Mi of Pushan County, and several younger brothers of Yang Xuangan were all captured and were sent to the emperor's camp.

Several culprits have been arrested, but Yang Guang did not even intend to let go of the people below. He issued an order to stay in Dongdu and stay in Fan Zigai, the censor Pei Yun and the two of them were responsible for liquidating the rebels. Pei Yun was originally a stingy man. At this time, in order to clear his son's guilt, he also participated in the rebels' crimes. He showed his efforts in this purge. Although he had seen Fan Zigai, who had seen seventy years, was a real murderous devil. In history, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he led his troops to the Jianghuai area in Shandong to quell the peasant uprising. This old man completely implemented the Three Lights Policy.

He robbed, killed, burned them all, and underwent the bandits. During his tenure, he was in charge of the liquidation, and was extremely fierce. "The more than 30,000 people killed were all destroyed, and the more than half of them died in vain, and more than 6,000 people were moved. Xuangan encircled the eastern capital and opened a warehouse to provide relief to the people. All those who received rice were pitted to the south of the capital."

He killed more than 30,000 people at one time, confiscated everyone's property, and exiled more than 6,000 people. Even when Yang Xuangan surrounded the Eastern Capital, all those who had received the food released by the rebels opened the warehouse were killed in the south of Luoyang City. This was a nasty massacre and a purge.

Yang Guang, who was from the main hall of Gaoyang Palace, listened to the handling results of Pei Yun and Fan Zigai, said coldly, "After a cry of Xuanyan, he followed 100,000 people, it is better to know that there are not many people in the world, so they will gather together to steal. If they are not punished, they will not be able to punish the queen."

As Yang Guang said, the ministers in the hall were shocked and sweated. Pei Yun and the others killed more than 30,000 people at one time, but the emperor actually thought it was not enough. He actually wanted to kill all the more than 100,000 people who participated in the rebellion. He also said that there were too many people in the world, and it was easy to gather together and rebel.

The tumbler in the political arena Nayan Su Wei just secretly glanced at Yang Guang and saw the emperor Yang Guang's thoughts in his heart. Yang Guang was afraid at this time. No matter how strong Yang Guang was in the past, he never did such a thing.

Killing 100,000 people at one time and having to hold their families together, these are hundreds of thousands of people. The emperor was afraid. This rebellion was different from those mud-legged people making small fuss. This was a rebellion that shocked the Yang family. For Yang Guang, who has always been conceited and stubborn, he finally felt a sense of out of control. Therefore, he now wants to use terrifying and bloody killing to shock the world, and also use this horror and blood to conceal his inner fear.

Returning to the Central Plains from Liaodong, although Yang Xuangan had been wiped out, more rebellions began. Over the past period of time, rebels have raised troops in various places to respond to Yang Xuangan. Liu Yuanjin, a native of Yuhang, raised troops in Jiangnan, and tens of thousands of followers. Just a few days ago, this guy had joined forces with the rebels led by Zhu Xie and Guan Chong of Wujun, and the troops reached more than 100,000. What made Yang Guang even more unable to calm down was that the rebels actually recommended Liu Yuanjin as the emperor, Zhu Xie and Guan Chong as the servant, and arranged hundreds of officials. The rebellion parties in Piling, Dongyang, Kuaiji, Jian'an and other places arrested local officials in response to the rebellion.

Since the seventh year of Daye, Wang Bo, a Shandong native, was the first to rebel, although he was like a rebellious rebel, like a bamboo shoot after a rain, he basically either called himself a Zhishilang, a general, or a leader. There were not even people who dared to be king. Now, a rogue gangster dared to be emperor in a noble way, and set up all officials to kill officials to rebel and separatist areas.

Most of the poor people who killed officials and rebelled in the past were just hiding in the deep mountains and forests. To put it bluntly, they were just a group of bandits and robbers. But now when they were called emperor and established hundreds of officials, their nature was completely different. Liu Shiyuan's behavior had completely deeply touched the fragile string in Yang Guang's mind.

When a man is angry, blood splatters five steps. When he is angry, he will inevitably be blood flowing, and the nine provinces are shaking, causing a sea of ​​corpses, blood and blood. After a series of commands, the Sui Dynasty began to enter the darkest bloody era.
