Chapter 7 The Wings Are Completed

Xie Sili quickly walked to Yang Xuangan's study room. The little boy went in to report to him and came out for a moment and said, "Mr. Xie, Master, please come in!"

Xie Sili walked into the study, but unexpectedly found Yang Jun was there. When Yang Jun saw him coming in, he turned his head and ignored him. Xie Sili stepped forward and saluted, "See Mr. Yang!"

Yang Xuangan smiled slightly and said, "Just just got the news, a team of guards entered Wuguan. As early as tonight, they will arrive in Shangluo County as early as tomorrow morning. It should be that your strategy has been successful. They are here to arrest Pei Renji. As long as Pei Renji leaves, ten thousand troops will be used by me. This strategy is indeed very clever."

"I was praised by Mr. Yang, but I was just a lucky success!"

Yang Xuangan was very satisfied with Xie Sili. He removed Pei Renji by a clever counter-split strategy. He also knew that this strategy seemed simple, but there were still many arrangements in the middle, such as how to imitate Pei Renji's handwriting, how to send memorials, etc. This shows that the Xie family in Dunhuang has quite a way in the capital, and he wants to use the resources of the Xie family.

"That gentleman's opinion, if I get this hostage, when will it be more appropriate to start a business?"

Xie Sili thought for a while and said, "I heard that there is a rumor about the emperor inspecting Jiangdu, but I don't know whether this rumor is true or false. If the emperor really goes to Jiangdu, I suggest that when the emperor goes to Jiangdu, I will rebel again. During this period, you can use Yu culture and threaten Yuwen Shu, block the news for us, and even convey information to us."

Yang Xuangan nodded, and he also thought so, "Since everyone's ideas are the same, then do this according to this idea. In addition, the Sui Dynasty had about 70,000 troops in Guanzhong, including 50,000 in Chang'an, 10,000 in Tongguan, and 10,000 in Fufeng County. Jun'er's meaning was to seize Tongguan first, cut off the reinforcements from Luoyang, and then turn around to attack Chang'an. What about the gentleman's opinion?"

Xie Sili shook her head, "It's actually meaningless to seize Tongguan. The Yellow River will freeze in another month. The Sui army can come from the Yellow River. Moreover, if they seize Tongguan first, it will alarm Chang'an. Chang'an will defend it, making it difficult for us to conquer and make it difficult for us to conquer the Yuan family. Soldiers are very important. We should first use Yu culture and seize Chang'an, then occupy Guangtong warehouse, open the warehouse and release grain. Recruit the troops from Guanzhong, and finally consider Tongguan."

Yang Jun originally ignored Xie Sili, but Xie Sili completely denied his plan. He couldn't help but say in anger: "With Wei Xuan leading 50,000 elite troops in Chang'an City, we only have 15,000 people. How could he be his opponent? According to your plan, even if the surprise attack succeeds in the end, he will still be defeated by him. What's the point?"

Yang Jun stood up and bowed to Yang Xuangan, "Father, we should recruit soldiers from Shangluo first and recruit more than 100,000 people. We will first attack Tongguan. At this time, the Yellow River has not frozen yet. We will cut off the reinforcements, then seize Guangtong Cang and open the warehouse to recruit soldiers. At that time, we will have 200,000 troops and finally attack Chang'an. One battle can determine Guanzhong."

Xie Sili's plan was actually formulated by Yang Yuanqing, and he repeatedly discussed it with everyone in the General Administration Office. It was the only feasible way for Yang Xuangan to succeed in rebellion. Xie Sili sneered, "So what if you recruit 200,000 soldiers? Just a group of mobs, can you compete with the 50,000 elite troops of the Sui army? Furthermore, if you cannot conquer Tongguan and be attacked by Tongguan and Chang'an defenders, how likely are you to win?"

After his failure two years ago, Yang Xuangan had a deep understanding of the combat effectiveness of recruiting troops. He felt that Xie Sili was justified, so he waved his hand to stop Yang Jun's rebuttal and said to Xie Sili: "Sir, please continue to say it!"

Xie Sili said: "This uprising is different from the last uprising. Last time, Mr. Yang occupied Liyang Cang, he raised his arms and responded. But this time, Mr. Yang thought he had a great appeal. Will the people of Guanzhong doubt the failure last time? If they have any doubts, how many troops can they recruit? If they only recruit tens of thousands or even thousands of people, Mr. Yang's identity was exposed at that time, how can he protect himself?

So I think that Yang Gong’s comeback this time is actually at a great disadvantage. If he wants to turn his disadvantages into advantages, he can only use surprise troops, use Yu Culture and seize Chang'an first. As for Wei Xuan’s 50,000 defenders, we can adapt to the situation. The strange plan cannot be predicted in everything, and can only respond to changes temporarily."

"According to your words, are you just betting?" Yang Jun said hatefully.

Xie Sili sneered, "Mr. Yang is just a bet on the rise?"

Yang Xuangan pondered for a moment and said, "I have fully understood the plan of sir, so I can think about it again."

Xie Sili gave a li, then left, looking at Xie Sili's back, Yang Junyin: "Father, I think this person's identity is suspicious."

"Don't think about it all!" Yang Xuangan scolded his son unhappily.

"Father, I have no random thoughts. How could this person know that Yang Guang was going to Jiangdu? How could this counter-espionage plan be successful without a great force? Will the Xie family in Dunhuang have such great strength? And to put it bluntly, this person is just a unknown origin. If my father believes in him like this, he will be harmed by him sooner or later. Father, Wei Fusi's lesson is not far away!"

Yang Xuangan was not a person with strong will. Yang Jun's persuasion made him slightly suspicious, but he recognized Xie Sili's plan.

"It depends on father and son soldiers to go to battle. I understand this principle, but two people are indeed capable. I will use them first. When I seize Guanzhong, I will not give them power. Then I will try my best to activate the tribe members."

Yang Jun wanted to be the father's words. After all, he was afraid that Xie Sili would take away his power. He bowed deeply, "Father is wise!"

.........

Since Pei Renji arrived in Shangluo County, he has been living in the military camp. Yu Wen and he went to the city to have fun every day, but he was not a step away from the military camp. He was not ashamed to be with Yu Wen and such people. At this time, he was sitting in the tent reading. Suddenly, there was a burst of rapid running sounds outside the tent. A personal soldier rushed into the tent and shouted in horror: "General, it's not good!"

"What's the matter panic?" Pei In-ki said a little dissatisfied.

"A group of guards came from the barracks. I heard that they were here to capture the general. They had sent people to the city to find Yu Wenji."

Pei In-ki stood up in shock, "Are you taking it seriously?"

"It is indeed here to capture the general, and it is the soldiers in the central army's tent that came to report the news."

Bae In-ki's heart was suddenly in chaos. The news was so unexpected that he was here to arrest him. Why, was it Yu Wenji, but... it wasn't!

He was puzzled, but he didn't know what to do? At this moment, a personal soldier rushed over and said, "General, someone in the military camp asked for a visit, he brought this."

The personal soldier raised a short sword in his hand. Pei Renji recognized it at a glance. It was his short sword of his son Pei Xingyan. He was surprised and immediately said, "Come in!"

After a moment, Xie Sili walked in and bowed calmly and said, "Xie Sili, the Fengzhou Army, met with the old general Pei!"

Pei In-ki looked at him, "Are you coming from Fengzhou?"

Xie Sili smiled slightly, "I'm from the capital."

Pei In-ki sighed, "You came here very coincidentally. I happened to be in trouble. The Lord sent someone to arrest me."

Xie Sili smiled and said, "Actually, I came for this matter. Our people received news that was not conducive to General Pei, so I came to rescue the general."

"What news?" Bae In-ki asked as he stared at him.

"Can you know why the Lord sent someone to arrest the general?"

"I don't know, you said?"

Xie Sili said calmly: "This is actually because the general knows too much Yu culture and the background. Yuwen Shu wanted to get rid of the general. Yuwen Shu told the emperor that the general was preparing to support troops in Shangluo County to rebel independently. The emperor believed it and sent someone to arrest the general and go back to interrogate him."

Pei Renji was furious, "Wuwen Thief dared to frame me, I want to go back to confront me!"

Xie Sili sighed, "Will Yuwen Shu give the general a chance to meet the saint? He has bribed these dozen guards and are ready to kill the general on the road, and then say that the general rebelled, Yu Wenhua and another report of the general's rebellion, and the general is injustice."

Pei Renji stayed for a while, and he sighed slowly and sat down dejectedly. Xie Sili advised him again: "The general's son is a general in Fengzhou. Why doesn't the general go to Fengzhou? Yang Yuanqing has also been recognized by the court. General Pei's rebellion is not considered a rebellion when he goes to Fengzhou. He has a reputation and can save his life. Why don't the general do it?"

"We have sent someone to pick him up the general's family. It's absolutely safe. Please rest assured."

Pei In-ki was silent for a long time, and then a personal soldier rushed over again, "General, Yu Wen-he has been back, he asked the general to go to the meeting."

Pei Renji finally made up his mind. Since Yuwen Shu wanted him to die, how could he be killed? He stood up and said, "Go and invite General Zhao, General He and General Liu, and order the personal soldiers to prepare, and we will go out of the camp immediately."

A quarter of an hour later, Pei Renji led his several of his confidant generals and two hundred personal guards to flee the barracks on horseback and ran westwards. He went to Fengzhou to surrender to Yang Yuanqing.

.........

The next day, Yu Wen and Xing Chong rushed to the county yard, and a entourage led him into the backyard, "General Yuwen, a wealthy businessman is willing to donate 5,000 taels of gold to the general for military expenses. He wants to know the general, so please help him."

Yu Wen and his joy were so happy that they couldn't even close their mouths. Five thousand taels of gold were rewarded with great harvests!

"Haha! I can recognize him as a fake, where are the others?"

"General Yuwen asked the wealthy businessman to be in the guest room, and the prefect Zheng talked with him."

When Yu Wenhe walked into the guest room, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere was wrong. There were more than a dozen big men standing in the guest room. He turned around and left, but the door was locked from outside.

At this time, two people walked out of the inner room, one was the prefect Zhang Ji, and the other was a little familiar, but Yu Wenhua could not remember it for a moment.

"Yu Wenji, we haven't seen each other for a long time." The man behind him sneered coldly.

Yu Wenji rubbed his eyes, his mouth wide and could not be closed. He took two steps back in horror and pointed at the person who came: "You are... Yang Xuangan!"

"That's it! Yu Wenji, are you safe?"
