Li Jing pondered for a moment and said, "I think the Sui Dynasty is still orthodox, and the emperor has not lost his morality. Although there are constant rebellion in various places, we cannot think that the Sui Dynasty is about to be over. I don't think so. The rebellion of the people can only be bandits. No aristocratic family is willing to interact with bandits. The Yuan family has introduced the King of Shu Yang Xiu as the emperor. That is just that the Yuan family wants to cover up the ambitions of the Yuan family. Not to mention whether Yang Xiu is true or false, even if he is true, why can he ascend the throne and become emperor? Who can recognize him?"

Speaking of this, Li Jing sighed and said, "The biggest mistake of Xuangan is that he should not publicly support the King of Shu Yang Xiu, which will put him in an injustice. He will have many helps when he is enlightened, but he will have few help when he is lost. I don't like the Yuan family and Xuangan.^//^"

After saying that, Li Jing looked up at Yang Yuanqing, his eyes full of worry. Yang Yuanqing smiled faintly and took a document from the table and handed it to Li Jing, "I just wrote it, Uncle Shi, please take a look!"

Li Jing took the document and he was stunned for a moment, with the words "Anti-de-death edict against the rebel Yang Xuan."

"Yuanqing, you are..."

"I have decided to cut off the relationship between father and son with him, the king is the elder and the father is the superior. First, his disloyal to the king is my destruction for justice. This is my decision after careful consideration."

Li Jing sighed for a while. He didn't know what to say. The father and son had actually come to this point. "Yuan Qing, is there no other choice?"

Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "Actually, this decision was not my first choice, but his first choice. Yang Jun, Yang Rong, all the Yang family members escaped in advance, but he did not notify me, which means that he had given up on me. Uncle Shi, this feeling of abandonment is really bad."

Li Jing lowered his head, he could understand Yang Yuanqing's helplessness.

Yang Yuanqing smiled again and said, "In fact, severing the father-son relationship with him is also my inevitable choice. Only in this way can I get the support of the Shandong gentry. I think that no Shandong gentry wants me to follow him to rebel. Only by completely severing the relationship with the Yang family can I become their hope and represent their interests. Only in this way can I finally win the general trend."

Yang Yuanqing's words made Li Jing feel relieved. He did not misunderstand. Yang Yuanqing's eyes were far-reaching and very strategic. It was indeed the case. Only Shandong gentry or southern gentry could compete with the Guanlong nobles. Obviously, southern gentry could not support Yang Yuanqing, and the marriage between Yang Yuanqing and the Pei family was destined to follow the path of Shandong gentry. Yang Yuanqing was very clear about this and decided that he would break up with the Yang family. Although he was cruel in family affection, this was a wise decision.

"What should you do now? Have you considered it?"

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "I only have two roads, either continue to be the general manager of Youzhou or return to Fengzhou. I am waiting for Yang Guang's attitude now."

Li Jing thought for a moment and frowned slightly, "I think it is unlikely that the emperor will let you continue to be the chief supervisor of Youzhou. The position in Youzhou is too important. With his suspicion, even if you break up with Yang Xuangan, he will not let you take military power again. In fact, I think the chief supervisor of Fengzhou is impossible. At most, he will let you have a free position."

"I know, but after all, he is the king and I am the minister. I always have to be unrighteous and I can be ruthless. Only in this way can I get along with each other in the future. At least I have to give him face."

"Then what are you going to do?" Li Jing still didn't understand.

At this time, Yang Yuanqing's eyes crossed Li Jing's shoulder and looked out of the tent. He saw the gate guard soldiers leading a man in a guard uniform hurried towards the central army's tent.

"I think my answer is here."

Yang Yuanqing quickly walked to the door of the tent, and the person came to kneel down on one knee and said, "Report to the general manager, General Chen has an urgent letter."

He handed over a roll of paper. Yang Yuanqing took it and looked it over, turned around and smiled at Li Jing, "As expected, he transferred Yu Juluo back to the court and asked Yuwen Shu's brother to Fengzhou as the general manager."

Li Jing finally understood what Yang Yuanqing meant, "Did Yuanqing decide to return to Fengzhou?"

"Of course, how can I give up my foundation?"

Yang Yuanqing looked at the sky and it was almost dusk. He immediately ordered, "The whole army is ready to set off."

When the military order was issued, the entire army began to quickly clean up the tent. Yang Yuanqing ordered a civilian officer to take two of his memorials to Zhuo County and hand them over to Emperor Yang Guang, which was his explanation to Yang Xuangan's rebellion.

The military camp was busy, and Yang Jiachen rushed to Yang Yuanqing and asked worriedly: "General, what should we do if Yang Yichen and Wang Rengong's troops attacked?"

Yang Yichen's army is ten miles northeast, while Wang Rengong's army is ten miles southeast, and the three armies are in a font-shaped layout. If Yang Yuanqing makes any movement, the two opponent's army will likely launch an offensive.

Yang Yuanqing smiled slightly, "You don't have to worry about this. Even if you withdraw your troops with peace of mind, you can lead your headquarters to Liaoyuan Warehouse to get some food and take it away. Don't be too much, it's enough for the three armies to eat on the road."

Twenty days ago, Yang Yuanqing took 70,000 good horses at the Liaodong ranch, so that his soldiers could be matched with two horses or even three horses, with extremely strong mobility. Yang Yichen only had 15,000 cavalrymen, and Wang Rengong only had 10,000 cavalrymen. Both of them knew that Yang Yuanqing had taken 70,000 war horses, but they were indifferent and did not go to the ranch to get horses. This was a tacit understanding. Many things need not be said, and the three of them were given a naive heart. Yang Yuanqing knew very well that Yang Yichen and Wang Rengong had decided to let them go.

That night, Yang Yuanqing sent him to collect 15,000 stones of grain from the warehouse in Liaoyuan Town, and 40,000 troops. A 30,000 army led 70,000 war horses to evacuate the territory of the Xi tribe. They bypassed Yanshan, went straight west, crossed the land of Xi and Turks, and ran towards Fengzhou.

It was not until dawn that Yang Yichen and Wang Rengong each sent fifty people to chase after him, but Yang Yuanqing's army had already gone far away.

In late June of the ninth year of Daye, twenty days after Yang Xuangan's rebellion, the Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty announced to the world that the "Anti-de-rebellion Yang Xuangan issued an edict to the general manager of Youzhou, Yang Yuanqing, to show that Yang Xuangan had rebelled against his relatives and separated from others, and called on the scholars and people all over the world to fight against the rebels.

The Yuan family's battle in Guanzhong was not smooth. Yuan Hongsi was besieged Chang'an and his morale was affected. Qu Tutong led 40,000 troops to aid Chang'an. The two sides fought fiercely at Baqiao. Yuan Hongsi was defeated and was forced to withdraw his troops to Shiping County to confront the Sui army.

At this time, Li Yuan, the remaining guard in Taiyuan, defeated the 6,000 troops of Yuanshou's eldest son Yuan Shangwu who was preparing to cross the river to the west in Lishi County, and killed Yuan Shangwu. Li Yuan sent someone to send Yuan Shangwu's head to Zhuo County to perform his merits. Yang Guang was very happy and immediately appointed Li Yuan as the Zijin Guanglu Dafu.

This news also hit the Yuan family hard. Yuan Hongsi was once again forced to retreat westward to Fufeng County, and the siege of Chang'an was lifted.

Just when the situation in Guanzhong turned around, Yang Xuangan's advance was extremely smooth. Yang Xuangan's journey was unstoppable, with five battles and five victories, and broke through Hulao Pass. Ten thousand troops immediately rushed to Luoyang, defeating Henan Lingda Xi Shanyi and General Guiding Pei Hongce's army, and their morale was greatly boosted. Ten thousand troops stationed outside the east gate, and the soldiers attacked the city day and night.

At this time, Yang Xuangan's army had reached 200,000, and was a huge momentum. Not only were ordinary people coming to join, but also began to surrender. Yang Xuangan had been blinded by a series of victories. He had forgotten his original plan - to march into Guanzhong, and was determined to take down the capital and break the heart of the Great Sui Dynasty.

In the military camp, Li Mi was worried. He had discovered that Yang Xuangan had made a strategic mistake. The 200,000 elite Sui army was rushing towards the capital day and night, but Yang Xuangan did not find a foundation and was determined to attack the capital. So what if he captured the capital? Will Yang Guang surrender? This will only make Yang Guang turn his attention that should have been placed on the Yuan family to Yang Xuangan, which is a typical fire-burning fire.

Although Li Mi also has selfish intentions, he did not want Yang Xuangan to fail so soon, but Li Mi had no choice but to do anything. Now Yang Xuangan has never seen him. Since Yang Xuangan captured Wei Fu, the Neishisan clan at Hulao Pass, he has used Wei Fusi as his military advisor and completely abandoned Li Mi.

Li Mi hesitated for a long time, and he decided to do his best. He came to the central army's tent, and several soldiers stopped him, "Sir, don't go in again!"

Li Mi bowed, "Please report to Duke Chu, Li Mi asks for an urgent matter."

"Sir, wait, we'll report now."

The soldiers turned around and reported to the Central Army's tent. In the tent, Yang Xuangan was wearing a golden helmet and a strong spirit. A report soldier was reporting to him about the latest news about Zhuo County. Yang Guang announced Yang Yuanqing's manifesto and presented a manifesto to Yang Xuangan. In the manifesto, Yang Yuanqing announced to the world that he had severed the father-son relationship with him.

After reading the manifesto, Yang Xuangan's eyes shot out with anger, "Damn it, a damn rebellious son!"

He tore the manifesto to pieces. Suddenly, Yang Xuangan laughed to the sky again and said to the generals around him: "One day, this boy will kneel down to me and confess his guilt and beg for mercy!"

At this time, the soldiers reported at the door of the tent, "Report to Duke Chu, Li Mi has urgent matters to ask for a meeting!"

When Yang Xuangan's face immediately sank when he heard the name of 'Li Mi, he turned around and asked Wei Fusi: "Did you say I see him or not?"

Wei Fusi was about 30 years old and was the son of Wei, the head of the Wei family in Guanzhong. He was very talented and famous in the Guanlong area. He served as a member of the Neishishe and was captured at Hulao Pass for fear of death, so he surrendered to Yang Xuangan. Yang Xuangan always admired his talent and immediately appointed him as a military advisor and followed him.

Wei Fusi sneered and said, "If he is willing to show sincerity, it's okay for the lord to see him."

Although Wei Fusi did not express his sincerity, Yang Yuanxuangan's face changed. The reason why he suspected Li Mi was because Wang Bodang's five thousand troops never surrendered to him, which made Yang Xuangan believe that Li Mi had a strange intention. In addition, with Wei Fusi as the military advisor, Yang Xuangan never saw Li Mi again.

Yang Xuangan said to the soldiers coldly: "Go and tell him when I see Wang Bodang's army, then I will see him whenever I will."

The soldier came back and told Li Mi that Li Mi stayed silent for a long time and finally sighed, "God's will!"

Li Mi returned to his tent and wrote a letter to Yang Xuangan. Then he placed his seal on the table, took two confidant followers, left Yang Xuangan's camp, rode his horse to Dongping County, and embarked on his own path.
