Yang Guang slowly looked through the memorial for help from Yuhang County and the report of Xiangyang County on the South China Association. His face became more and more gloomy. A kind of anger that was deceived and concealed was burning in his heart. But Yang Guang still restrained the anger in his heart and said to Yang Wen softly: "You have done a good job in this matter, but don't take it too seriously. This kind of thief is not worth worrying about. Go!"

Yang Qing wanted to mention Yang Yuanqing's incident, but his lips moved, and finally he did not speak. He had to bow and bow, "Grandson leaves!"

Yang Qing slowly retreated and waited for his grandson's back to disappear. Yang Guang slapped the table heavily and said angrily: "Xuan Yu Shiji is here to see me!"

After a moment, Yu Shiji rushed over. He saw two memorials on the imperial desk at a glance. He suddenly felt a sudden sigh of relief in his heart, "See Your Majesty!"

Yang Guang grabbed the memorial and smashed it hard at him, "Explain to me, what's going on!"

Yang Guang's voice was extremely high, showing his inner anger. Even the Yuan family rebelled, he had never been so angry. The rebellion in the south undoubtedly broke through his bottom line and made him intolerable.

Yu Shiji wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly explained: "I know that these two memorials have been beaten back and asked them to report them again. I think that something in this memorial is inappropriate and will mislead Your Majesty."

"What's wrong, tell me!" Yang Guang stared at him viciously.

Yu Shiji thought quickly and said carefully: "I saw that Xiangyang County had mostly speculations about the Nanhua Society. 'Maybe, maybe' there were many such words, and the prefect Wu Qun did not provide evidence. When I beat him back, I asked him to provide evidence and then submit the memorial."

"What about the rebellion in Yuhang County?" Yang Guang's anger calmed down a little.

"Report to Your Majesty, I am a native of Kuaiji and know the situation there. I believe that the prefect of Yuhang County has exaggerated words in the memorial, or it is just concealing the facts. I will fight back and order him to rewrite it."

"What did you exaggerate? What did you hide? Say!"

The reason why Yu Shiji was favored by Yang Guang was that he had a thorough understanding of the emperor's heart. He knew what to do and how to answer. If it was the Central Plains rebellion, he would say that he was afraid of affecting Yang Guang's rebellion. He was afraid of affecting Yang Guang's mood, because Yang Guang himself did not care about the Central Plains rebellion.

When Jiangnan rebelled, he would never say this. Saying this way would only show that there was something wrong with his ability to handle government affairs. He had to say that he had dealt with it very seriously, but there was something wrong with the other party's memorials, so he returned it so that Yang Guang could accept his explanation.

Yu Shiji also explained: "The land in the south of the Yangtze River is rich and the water source is sufficient. The grain is ripe for two a year, and it is a rich land of fish and rice. Generally, some labor force can support themselves. If you install a net by the stream and river, you can make a living every day. If ordinary people do not have the level of eating, they will not rebel. The memorial said that 200,000 people rebelled. I think it is a bit exaggerated. Unless there is a Southern Chen rebellion in it, it is another matter. However, the memorial does not mention it at all. I think it is either exaggerating or concealing the facts. So I will fight back and ask the local officials to report the memorial again."

At this time, Yang Guang's anger had completely disappeared. Yu Shiji said it very well. He picked up the memorial and read it carefully. The memorial did not mention that there were officials from Southern Chen participating in the rebellion. However, based on Yang Guang's understanding of the south, there were a large number of southern gentry who were dissatisfied with the Sui Dynasty. How could they remain indifferent?

Yang Guang walked a few steps behind his back and pondered for a long time. He could tolerate chaos in Qilu, Yan and Zhao, but could not tolerate rebellion in the south. That would destroy his plan. Yang Guang was particularly worried that the resurgence of Nanchen would cause another division between the north and the south. He was not vague at all and did not dare to be careless at all in the rebellion in the south.

He immediately said to Yu Shiji: "With matters about the South China Association, the cabinet may issue a document to order the local officials to investigate in detail. If there are any remnants of the Liang Dynasty, they will be wiped out and must not be lenient."

"I obey the order!"

Yang Guang thought for a while and said, "Transfer my order to order the Zuotun Guard General Tu Wanxu and the Minister of Rites Yu Juluo to lead 30,000 troops to Jiangnan to wipe out the rebellion."

Yu Shiji was startled, "Your Majesty, is Yu Juluo properly leading his troops?"

Yang Guang shook his head and smiled, "If he leaves the water in Fengzhou, he can't make a toss."

"Your Majesty sees people thoroughly, and he is indeed brilliant!"

Yu Shiji flattered and asked carefully: "Why is your Majesty over Yang Yuanqing?"

Yang Guang concentrated on his mind and sighed, "There is priority for the matter, and his affairs are not ignorant. First, wipe out Yang Xuangan's rebellion and the Yuan family's rebellion, and then pacify the south, I will turn around and deal with him."

In mid-July 2018, Yang Guang's main force crossed the Yellow River from Lishi County and entered Longyou. General Xue Shixiong and General Xin Shixiong each led an army of 50,000 to Honghua County. The two heroes made efforts and defeated the 60,000 Guanlong soldiers recruited by the Yuan family in Honghua County. Yuanshou's younger brother Yuan Ji and his second son Yuan Shangjun were killed. The 100,000 army immediately rushed to Fufeng County. Yuan Hongsi led an army of 80,000 to fight outside the Dazhen Pass. They were defeated in all three battles and the morale of the army was disintegrated. Yuan Hongsi knew that the situation was hopeless and led more than 10,000 people to flee to Xiping County in panic.

At the same time, the general Qu Tutong led 50,000 troops to attack Fufeng County. Fufeng County was empty and collapsed in one battle. The army surrounded Renshou Palace. Yuanshou committed suicide by taking poison. The pseudo-Emperor Yang Xiu surrendered, but Qu Tutong was beheaded at the foot of Renshou Palace for the crime of pretending to be a royal family. More than 30 civil and military officials were taken to Zhuo County for disposal.

Emperor Yang Guang of Sui immediately ordered the purge of Guanlong clans, and all those related to the Yuan family's rebellion were killed. More than 1,000 Guanlong clans were confiscated, and nearly 50,000 were killed. More than 20 Guanlong clans were also dismissed from office and removed from titles.

Everyone in Guanlong nobles were in danger and each offered their property to protect themselves. Among them, Li Yuan was rewarded for being the first to condemn the Yuan family's rebellion and beheading Yuan Shangwu for his merits. Dugu was a relative of the foreign country, and at the same time he was spared not participating in the Yuan family's rebellion. The Dou family was also spared for his merits in sending troops to defend Chang'an.

The other Hou Mochen family, Yu family, Yu Wen family, Zhao family, etc. were all severely injured.

In Guandong, Yang Xuangan's army of 200,000 attacked Tongguan, but was led by the Tiger General Song Laosheng to defend Tongguan by 5,000 Sui troops. Yang Xuangan's army attacked for eight days and eight nights but failed to break through Tongguan. At this time, Yuwen Shu's army and Lai Huer's army chased him, and the two sides fought outside Tongguan. Yang Xuangan's army was far inferior to each other's training and equipment. Yang Xuangan was defeated in seven battles and seven times. Li Zixiong died in battle. Yang Xuangan led tens of thousands of remaining troops to escape to Hongnong County.

The Sui army divided the troops and came to Hu'er to march into Guanzhong. Yuwen Shu continued to chase and kill Yang Xuangan's remnants, but in Hongnong County. Yang Xuangan got help from the Yang clan and seized Zhuyang Pass. Yuwen Shu was pursuing lightly, and the supply line was cut off by Yang Wei's five hundred Yang family soldiers, which made Yuwen Shu cut off his food. He had to attack Zhuyang Pass for a long time and could not get down. He had to be forced to retreat to Lu's County.

The setting sun was like blood, and the red afterglow shone on the broken walls of Zhuyang Pass. Yang Xuangan sat on a female wall, looking at the vast Funiu Mountains in the distance, feeling infinitely lost in his heart, recalling the scenery when he started his army. He was full of energy when he attacked Luoyang, and at this time he was as down and out as a dog of a family. There was only less than 10,000 left in the 200,000 army. Although Yuwen Shu's army was defeated, its strength was far stronger than him. Once his supplies arrived, he would still be defeated. Yang Xuangan sighed deeply. Where should he go?

"Brother, Yang Wei is here!" Yang Jishan shouted at the mountain road in the distance.

Yang Xuangan stood up, and he also saw a team of soldiers coming towards Zhuyang Pass. The tall and fat Yang Wei was riding on a camel, holding an iron helmet and armor, holding two sledgehammers in his hand, majestic. He was also followed by a young general, with a white face as white as jade, a pretty face, wearing bright silver armor, holding a bright silver spear, and a treasure-carved bow on his back, riding a majestic white horse. His heroic posture surprised Yang Xuangan, who was this person?

After a moment, Yang Wei entered the gate and he brought the young general to meet Yang Xuanli.

Yang Wei knelt down and bowed, "Yang Wei bowed to the head of the family!"

Yang Xuan quickly helped him up and sighed: "Wei'er, thanks to you who cut off the Yuwen Shu's grain channel this time, otherwise the Yang family would have wiped out the entire army."

Yang Wei smiled and said, "I am staying in Hongnong under the order of the general manager, just waiting to pick up the head of the family."

"Yuan Qing!"

Yang Xuangan was stunned. Seeing Yang Wei nodding, Yang Xuangan's nose suddenly felt sour and tears filled his eyes. Only when he failed and fell into disgrace did Yuan Qing's help to him move him even more. He thought that Yuan Qing had really cut off his father-son relationship with him, but he did not expect that Yuan Qing would help him at the critical moment.

"How did Yuan Qing know that I would go here?"

Yang Wei scratched the back of his head and said embarrassedly: "I said, don't be angry at the head of the family."

"Tell me! I'm not angry."

"Yuan Qing knew that the head of the family would not attack Luoyang, so he would definitely go to Guanzhong. If he entered Guanzhong, I would not have to worry about it and go back to Fengzhou directly. If the head of the family could not enter Guanzhong, the head of the family would definitely go to Hongnong County, and I would wait for an opportunity to help."

Yang Xuangan sighed in his heart, it turned out that Yuan Qing knew that he was going to lose, alas! If he had known today's defeat, he would rather bear it after hearing him and not speaking.

Yang Wei took out another letter, "This is the letter Yuan Qing asked me to hand it over to the head of the family."

Yang Xuangan took the letter, but he was not in a hurry to look at it. He looked at the young general behind Yang Wei and asked, "This general."

The young general knelt down on one knee and said, "He is Xie Yingdeng, Xie Hong's nephew, heard that Duke Chu resisted the foolish monarch, Xie Yingdeng was willing to follow Duke Chu to rebel against Sui."

Yang Xuankang knew that Xie Hong was profound in literature and lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain. Yang Guang repeatedly recruited him, but he just refused to enter the officialdom.

Yang Wei smiled and said, "General Xie is very skilled in martial arts and has unparalleled magical arrows. He gathered righteous men to fight against the Sui Dynasty in Hongnong County. I met him on the road. Cutting off the grain road of Yuwen Shu was his plan."

Yang Xuangan quickly helped Xie Yingdeng up and apologized: "The Sui army is strong, and I am unfortunately defeated. The day is in danger. Will General Xie be willing to follow Xuangan?"

Xie Yingdeng smiled and said, "In the past, Emperor Gaozu of Han was defeated by Xiang Yu repeatedly, but the battle at Gaixia was successful. Liu Bei was defeated repeatedly, but in the end he achieved great achievements. Yingdeng thought that victory and defeat were common affairs of military affairs. As long as Duke Chu worked hard to govern, he would be able to make a comeback in the end."

"Well said!"

Yang Xuangan got Yang Wei and Xie Yingdeng, and his confidence gradually recovered. He opened Yang Yuanqing's letter and read it carefully.

'My father was here, Yuan Qing kowtowed. When my father saw my letter, he should have defeated Tongguan. Yang Wei came to help. Yuan Qing thought that although the army was defeated, the road was not over. My father could station troops in the mountains and farm in the fields, but this could escape the disaster. My father was a nail in Yang Guang's eyes. Different bandits gathered in the mountains. Do not attack counties again. Zhaoluo was in the world. The eight mountains and one water of Shanluo County, and the terrain was complex. It was a place where the hidden dragon was hidden. My father could hide here. It was three years later, and two years later. The world was in chaos. The Sui army lost one another. My father could take Guanzhong again to seek great cause.'

Yang Xuan's heart was fluctuating, but his eyes became particularly bright. This time, he decided to listen to Yuan Qing's advice.
