Chapter 13: Attacking the Rat

"Where is Yang Xuangan?"

Yang Guang was angry and roared at Yuwen Shu who was kneeling on the ground, "I want to see people alive, and I want to see corpses when I die. If you can't find a word, will he disappear in the world like a fart?"

Yuwen Shu said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I will defeat his 200,000 army. He only led hundreds of people to escape into the Funiu Mountain area. There are ravines and mountains, dense forests, and hundreds of miles. It is indeed difficult to find such a team of more than 100 people. But I think that Yang Xuangan will definitely not be able to withstand the loneliness and go down the mountain to capture the county again. At that time, he will be exposed. I will immediately lead the army to siege and will not let him escape again. """

Yang Guang's anger was not gone, but he had no choice but to do anything. Yuwen Shu defeated the 200,000 Yang Xuangan's army for him. He could not wipe out his credit just because he could not catch Yang Xuangan for a while, as that would make other generals feel disappointed.

"Did you confirm he is hiding in the Funiu Mountain area?"

"Yes, the function is confirmed!"

Yang Guang walked a few steps behind his back. Funiu Mountain was located at the junction of five counties. It was impossible to catch it by only one local official. He immediately ordered: "Transfer my order to grant Yang Zhiji the ambassador to the five counties of Henan, Hongnong, Nanyang, Xiyang and Jingyang. He led the soldiers of the five counties to search for Yang Xuangan. When will the search be reached and when will it end!"

Yuwen Shu knelt on the ground, but there was an unpredictable sneer in his eyes. Yang Zhiji should be in Funiu Mountain for retirement!

Yang Guang said to Yuwen Shu again: "This time I will make great contributions to the Yang Xuangan Rebellion Army. I will reward you with great rewards. You should calm down first!"

"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"

Yuwen Shu slowly stood up, and Yang Guang then said to him hatred: "If you don't catch Yang Xuangan, I will be restless all day long, and Yuan Hongsi has fled to Xihai County. I have ordered Xue Shixiong to catch him regardless of the world. If this person causes chaos in the Western Regions, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Yuwen Shu said carefully: "Your Majesty, I am actually more worried about Fengzhou. Yang Yuanqing holds elite soldiers. I am very worried that Yuwen Ce is not Yang Yuanqing's opponent."

Yang Guang was silent for a while before he said lightly: "Yang Yuanqing did not rebel after all, so he can slow down. I just got the news that Qinghe County had failed to wipe out, and the prefect Feng Xiaoci himself was killed by the bandits. Feng Xiaoci was once the general manager of Daizhou and was also a general who could fight. He actually died at the hands of bandits. It seems that the bandits in Shandong are rampant, beyond my imagination, and it is impossible not to suppress them. (")"

Yang Guang's implication was to tell Yuwen Shu that the situation in the Central Plains was serious and he had no time to take care of Yang Yuanqing. He felt a chill in his heart. His brothers were not aware of their life and death in Fengzhou. The emperor was indifferent and hated Yuwen Shu's heart to death.

Yang Guang glanced at Yuwen Shu and said earnestly: "I have to compromise on many things, just like the Guanlong nobles. I wish I could kill them all overnight. Can I really do that? If I really do that, I am afraid that there will be a big riot in Guanlong. Just like my imperial guards, most of them are Guanlong's children. Do you want me to disband them all and recruit the imperial guards again? Even if I disband, where can I recruit, Shandong or South?"

Speaking of this, Yang Guang sighed again, "The reason why I can attack a group of Guanlong nobles this time is that I have caught the handle and have excuses to do it. However, except for the Yuan family, other families cannot really kill them, so they can only break their legs. Yuwen Aiqing, I am walking on thin ice now and must be careful."

"I understand Your Majesty's caution, but Yang Yuanqing is a tiger and wolf-like heart. If Your Majesty doesn't kill him, he will be a big trouble."

Seeing that he had been talking for so long, Yuwen Shu still insisted on urging Yang Yuanqing, he couldn't help but feel a little angry and slapped the table and scolded: "What do you want me to tell you? What should you force Yang Yuanqing to rebel? What should the Pei family do? What should the Shandong gentry do? The Guanlong nobles also rebel. Can I still bear it if the Shandong gentry rebels?"

Yuwen Shu was so scared that he fell to the ground and kowtowed to confess his guilt, "I am short-sighted, please forgive me!"

"You are really stupid enough, step back!"

Yuwen Shu slowly retreated, and Yang Guang was upset. Of course, he wanted to dismember Yang Yuanqing's corpse, but he was afraid of the rat. He was not afraid of Yang Yuanqing, but he was afraid of the Shandong gentry behind Yang Yuanqing. Now he had to rely on the Shandong gentry to make him in a dilemma.

Yang Guang picked up a memorial from the table. This was an emergency memorial sent by Yang Shidao. He already knew that Yuwen Ce was killed. He knew that this was Yang Yuanqing's warning to him. This made Yang Guang both annoyed but helpless. Yang Yuanqing sent Yang Shidao's gifts out of Fengzhou, which made Yang Guang see Yang Yuanqing's compromise with him. (Sacred Temple)

In his memorial, Yang Shidao also advised him to maintain this delicate balance with Yang Yuanqing for the time being, and not to break it easily. He waited to pacify the Central Plains and relieve the threat of Guanlong nobles, and then turned back to deal with Yang Yuanqing slowly. Yang Shidao's suggestions reached Yang Guang's heart.

.........

Yuwen Shu returned to the mansion in a depressed mood. He estimated that his brother Yuwen Ce was in danger, which made him feel regretful and annoyed. He did not want his brother to serve as the chief supervisor of Fengzhou. He was planning to serve as the chief supervisor of Youzhou or the chief supervisor of Liangzhou. However, Yu Shiji misunderstood his meaning and recommended his brother to serve as the chief supervisor of Fengzhou and go to the tiger's mouth to seize food. At that time, he led his army to suppress Yang Xuangan, which led him to not be able to dissuade him.

But regretting at this time is useless, I just hope that my brothers can escape from Fengzhou.

Yuwen Shu went back to the study and sat down. The eldest son Yu Wenhui brought him a bowl of butterfly juice. "Father doesn't seem to be in a good mood?" Yu Wenhuihe asked carefully.

Yuwen Shu picked up the bowl, took a sip of butterfly and sighed: "Oh! Today the emperor said that I was not trying my best to attack Yang Xuangan, so I scolded me."

"Father, Yang Xuangan is already at the end of his journey, and the emperor is too worried."

Yuwen Shu stared at his son with a sharp look. He put down the bowl and said calmly: "What do you know? Yang Xuangan will make a comeback if he doesn't die in one day. He is no better than those bandits. This person has great political appeal, so Yang Guangcai is like being on pins and needles. He must kill him to be at ease."

Speaking of this, Yuwen Shu sneered again and said to Yu Wenhua: "It's not that I can't kill Yang Xuangan. I deliberately let him go and leave a hidden danger for Yang Guang. I don't want Yang Xuangan to be finished so soon. Only by leaving him will the court continue to stir and our Yuwen family will have a chance. Do you understand?"

Yu Wenji suddenly realized that his father was deliberately leaving behind the hidden danger of Yang Xuangan. He thought about it and asked again: "This time the Yang family and the Yuan family rebelled, why didn't his father seize this opportunity?"

Yuwen Shu shook her head, "You have also seen the fate of Yuanshi and Yang Xuangan. Although it is so powerful, it is quickly extinguished. The key is that it is not the time yet. It is like cooking a pot of soup cakes. You have to wait for the water to boil before you can put the soup cakes down. The water has just been a little hot, and we must wait patiently."

Yuwen Shu took a sip of butterfly, squinted her eyes and said, "It won't be too long."

At this moment, the butler shouted in horror from outside the door: "Master! Go to the door quickly, Master, he..."

Yuwen Shuteng stood up, and the news of his second brother came, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart. He quickly walked to the gate, and a group of Yuwen Ce's followers knelt down and cried, "General..."

"Stop crying!"

Yuwen Shu said viciously: "Where is my second brother?"

"General, right at your feet."

Yuwen Shu then found a wooden box under his feet. He was so shocked that he took a few steps back, "This is..."

"This is General Ce's head, Yang Yuanqing..."

Yuwen Shu screamed, and fainted immediately. Yu Wenhua and others were frightened and hurriedly supported Yuwen Shu and shouted: "Father! Father!"

Yuwen Shu slowly opened his eyes, thinking that his brother was killed like a knife, he stared at the sky and suddenly shouted: "Yang Yuanqing, if I don't kill you, I, Yuwen Shu, will not be a human being!"

...........

Although the rebellion of Yuan and Yang Xuangan was extinguished in less than two months, they triggered a larger rebellion in the world, and the rebellion had entered a new realm. Jihu and Liu Jialun rebelled in Yan'an County, with 100,000 troops, proclaimed himself the emperor and the great times of Jianyuan; Tang Bi, a native of Fufeng, supported 100,000 people and appointed Li Hongzhi as the emperor, he called himself the King of Tang, and Liu Yuanjin of Yuhang claimed to be the emperor, and appointed Zhu Xie and Guan Chong as the ministers of Shangshe, and appointed hundreds of officials.

The rioters in various places established themselves as emperors, established regimes to fight against the Sui Dynasty, and the world was rebellious. There were more than a hundred troops in various places, and almost all counties had rebelled, with rioters in counties ranging from hundreds to thousands to tens of thousands to tens of thousands. Among them, Dou Jiande and Zhang Jin from Gaojipo; Ge Qian from Douzigang; Liu Yuanjin from Yuhang and Zhai Rang from Wagang Village were the most powerful.

Since the Second Goryeo War, the power of Wagang Village has once again developed tremendously, with more than 200,000 troops and defeated officers and soldiers repeatedly. It is like a huge magnet, attracting people within a radius of hundreds of miles to join, and even heroes thousands of miles away come to join.

That afternoon, a team of thousands of people appeared on the official road thirty miles north of Wagang Village. In front of the team, Li Mi rode on a tall horse. He stared at the endless wilderness in the distance, with thoughtful eyes in his eyes.

"What are you thinking about with your brother?" Wang Bodang asked.

"Did you find out that we came all the way from Dongping County and didn't meet a soldier on the official road. Don't you find it strange?"

Wang Bodang thought for a moment and shook his head, "I think this is normal. The officers and soldiers are all huddled into the city. The Fourth Field Army is already under the rebel army, especially Dongjun, which is basically controlled by the Wagang forces. It is said that what the government in Dongjun has to send people to Wagang Village to discuss what to do."

Speaking of this, Wang Bodang said with some concern: "Brother, the power of Wagang Village is already so huge. Let's join it again. Is it a bit icing on the cake? Will Wagang pay attention to us?"

Li Mi stroked her beard and smiled slightly, "You said it wrong, it's not just adding icing on the cake, but adding the finishing touch. Wagang is still a huge dead dragon. What they need most now is to get alive, and I am the most important thing to make them live, so it is called adding the finishing touch."

At this time, a soldier came to report: "Chief, a team of troops came from the front, about a thousand people, coming with drums and drums."

Li Mi had already heard it. The sound of gongs shook the sky, the sound of drums was like thunder, the flags were flying in front of him, and the sound of suona was resounding throughout the sky. It was an extremely celebratory scene. Li Mi smiled proudly. He knew that Zhai Rang sent someone to greet him. It seemed that Zhai Rang was not a fool.

The welcome team was getting closer and closer, and a hundred steps away, I saw a big "Zhai" written in black ink on the yellow flag two feet tall. More than a hundred people under the banner surrounded a man wearing a purple robe and a golden crown, which was Zhai Rang himself.

Li Mi quickly dismounted and took Wang Bodang to meet him quickly. He walked to Zhai Rang and saluted with his knees, "The defeated general Li Mi is desperate and comes to surrender to the king and beg him to include it!"

Zhai Rang was so happy that he was furious that he turned over and dismounted and helped Li Mi up. "Last time I met the Duke of the County, I thought that if I had the assistance of the Duke of Pushan County, I, Zhai Rang, would definitely win the world. Sure enough, the heaven was willing to fulfill my Wagang and send the Duke of the County again. I would like to be my brother with him and share the world in the future!"
