Zhu Changxiao's version of the Sui Dynasty

Li Mi (also known as Xuansui) revealed his plan for rebellion, which surprised Yang Xuangan. Yang Xuangan, who had never had any thoughts of rebellion, looked out the window and closed the door, saying to Li Mi:"Xuansui can't talk nonsense. If it spreads,……"

Li Mi was not afraid and explained:"The current dynasty is in chaos and the world is in trouble. It is a good opportunity to cause trouble."

Yang Xuangan frowned and thought for a while, and said,"No, no, absolutely not."

At first glance, Yang Xuangan still felt so emotional. Not daring to agree, Li Mi said:"Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has made outstanding achievements on the surface, but in fact, the party has been fighting endlessly."

"How can you see it?"

Li Mi continued:"After the death of your Majesty the Duke of Yue, the Guanzhong faction relies on Su Wei and Yu Wenshu. Among these two people, one is a good person and the other is a conspirator. However, they are old and will no longer be capable.. The Jiangdong faction relied entirely on Yu Shiji and Pei Yun. One of them was a sycophant, the other was a cruel person who abused the law and was of no great use. The Queen's Party originally included Zhuge Ying, Xiao Cong, and Xiao Jue, who were quite talented, but they fell one after another and died. From this point of view, except for a group of warriors, the emperor has no one else capable"

"Oh..." Yang Xuangan was deeply touched after hearing this,"What Xuansui said is not unreasonable. If a king has no wise ministers, he will surely suffer from internal troubles."

"Your Majesty, you have the food and fodder for a million-strong army in your hands. This is the lifeblood of the Sui Dynasty." Li Mi advised.

"Still not possible." Yang Xuangan was conflicted, and waved his hand again, and said to Li Mi:"The entire area around Dongdu is under the jurisdiction of Fan Zigai. Fan Zigai has never seen any formations, so he cannot act rashly."

Li Mi smiled and said:"Don't worry, sir, Fan Zigai is a wise man. He is honest and rigorous in both civil and military affairs of the court. He never colludes with the three factions. Therefore, he has no connections in the court and it is difficult to command everyone. Therefore, he will never be able to enter the Shangshu Province in his life."

"this……"

"The sage said:"If God doesn't take it, you will suffer the consequences; if you don't welcome it when the time comes, you will suffer the consequences." 'Master Shangshu is the son of the Duke of Yue. He is from the Yang family of Hongnong. He is the fourth generation of the Third Duke. He has a prominent family background. He is in charge of military supplies externally and participates in military aircraft internally. When given an order, who in the world would respond?"

Under Li Mi's thorough analysis, the bud of rebellion in Yang Xuangan's heart was finally shaken and gradually revealed. He said to Li Mi:"Let's see how the war in Goguryeo goes, wait for the opportunity."

The two of them have secretly decided to wait for the news from Zhuo County. They will act according to the opportunity and secretly plot to rebel. This is what they are: thousands of generals and millions of soldiers, and few political officials are wise.

Even though the iron heel is strong, the government is in panic and shakes the two capitals.

The Ministry of Rites Yang Xuangan, the minister, followed Li Mi's plan and pretended to delay, sending some military rations piecemeal, but the majority of the grain and grass was still in his hands.

Because Yang Xuangan delayed the delivery of grain and grass, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty who was far away in Zhuojun could only He could rest and reorganize his troops and wait for the opportunity. At this time, there were still more than 700,000 troops in Zhuo County, and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was planning to use these more than 700,000 troops to attack Goguryeo.

On this day, Yu Shiji suddenly came in a hurry to see him and sent him The empress wrote the memorial in her own hand. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty opened the memorial and said to Yu Shiji:"The empress said that bandits and bandits were frequent along the way, and she advised me to call off the troops and call a truce."

"What do you think of me, dear?"

Yu Shiji raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at Yang Guang's eyes secretly. He did not dare to give advice and said against his will:"Wei Chen believes that the breeding of thieves is small, and the crusade against Goguryeo is big. Don't lose the big because of the small."Yu Shiji understood that it would be okay if Queen Xiao Jun remonstrated, but if the ministers remonstrated, they would not speak to Emperor Sui Yang's heart and would definitely offend Long Yan.

Reading the emperor's eyes and speaking was Yu Shiji's strong point. He knew that Emperor Sui Yang had no intention of suppressing the bandits. , focused on defeating Goguryeo. Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger, assisting the emperor, and everything must be left to his own devices.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was very pleased with Yu Shiji's words:"Yu Aiqing knows my heart best, and immediately drafted an edict, ordering me to protect my son and order the Qi navy before leaving the east. Lai; ordered Yang Xuangan to transport military supplies as soon as possible, and all armies set off. I will march again in April this year."

When Yu Shiji heard this, he was secretly happy. As expected, he guessed Emperor Sui Yang's thoughts correctly, so he took the emperor's order and went to draft the imperial edict. In

April 613 AD, the ninth year of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Sui Yang personally commanded the Seventy Tens of thousands of troops went out for the expedition, but Goguryeo still sent troops to guard the Liaohe River and the important city of Liaodong.

In the second eastward expedition to Goguryeo, the primary target was Liaodong City, which was Goguryeo's only stronghold on the west bank of the Datong River. Yang Guang personally led the expedition and came to At the foot of Liaodong City, the vanguard officer Qu Tutong announced:"The Korean soldiers defended the city and did not go out to fight for a long time. If they do not attack by force, I am afraid that the army will consume huge amounts of food.""

"Send orders to attack the city from all sides."

The emperor personally sent the order, and the vanguard officer Qu Tutong ordered to attack the city. The sound of drums was loud and the sound of killing was loud. The Sui army pushed rams, rams, ballistas, and ladders to storm the city. Deputy vanguard Qu Tugai led a group of soldiers. They dug tunnels and sneaked in, and started construction work on all sides until they reached the Liaodong City.

After all, Liaodong City was a forward stronghold that Goguryeo had painstakingly managed. The city was tall and had troops and grain garrisoned, so it was difficult to conquer. The two armies fought with blood and flesh, but the Sui army fought for three days without any results.

The two generals, Qu Tutong and Qu Tugai, were disgraced and returned to the Chinese army's tent in despair. The two brothers knelt down on the ground to plead guilty. Qu Tutong played:"Your Majesty, the enemy's city has been raised day and night. If there is no improvement after a strong attack, the general will eventually apologize. Yang Guang , the leader of Sui Dynasty, had no expression on his face after listening to the report. He raised his eyes and laughed unconsciously:"Why do you two generals blame themselves? Get up quickly." I, the imperial charioteer, will go on a personal expedition, and now I have a plan to destroy the city."

Brothers Qu Tutong and Qu Tugai looked at each other and couldn't guess the emperor's thoughts. Yang Guang said:"The two generals immediately sent an order to sew more bags and transport earth to build them until the earth slope was as high as the city wall. Let the cavalry charge straight to the city."

Qu Tutong and Qu Tugai had never heard of such a plan. They hesitated for a moment and followed the order hesitantly.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty also said to General Feng Xiaoci:"Yesterday, Feng Deyi offered a plan to build an eight-wheeled chariot. , to provide cover for the siege, the blueprint is here, quickly pass the order to build an eight-wheeled chariot to assist in the siege"

"Obey!"Feng Xiaoci received the drawings and built an eight-wheeled chariot according to the drawings.

After a few days, the siege layout was completed. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty told Yuwen:"The other armies are ordered to set off tomorrow and take a detour to approach the Datong River."

On the day when the carriages arrived, brothers Qu Tutong, General Feng Xiaoci and others made full preparations to attack the city. Yang Guang, the leader of the Sui Dynasty, commanded other armies to march around the city and go straight to the Datong River. Liaodong City was immediately captured, with hundreds of thousands of troops Approaching the Datong River again. It can be said that thousands of troops crossed the Liao River, and tens of thousands of troops shook the Datong River.

Who can know the king's wish that he will not return to his hometown if he refuses to fight against Goguryeo.

As the war in Goguryeo becomes increasingly tense during the second eastern expedition, food and grass shipments are also urgent. Immediately, the official sent back from Zhuojun to rush for grain and grass was named Yang Wanshuo, who was Yang Xuangan's cousin.

Yang Wanshuo hurried to the residence of the Ministry of Rites and met Yang Xuangan, Li Mi and others, who were all seated in secret rooms. Yang Wanshuo said:"The emperor killed again. After passing Liaodong, the 700,000-strong army was about to cross the Datong River. Li

Mi heard this and said:"The emperor really did not listen to the queen's advice and insisted on sending troops. In fact, he was resorting to violence and bringing about his own destruction. Why not take the opportunity to rebel?""

"The general trend of the world is in my hands."Yang Xuangan showed a cold smile, left Yang Wanshuo by his side, and sent someone else to report the memorial to the emperor. Yang Xuangan took the generals in his house and went straight to the Liyang camp. A large amount of grain and grass had been stored at Liyang Ferry, and hundreds of people at the Yellow River Ferry A five-tooth warship that had been recruited was already lined up waiting to be loaded with grain and grass.

At this moment, the second edict from Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty came again, urging Yang Xuangan to transport grain again. Yang Xuangan, Li Mi, and their four younger brothers Yang Xuanzang, Yang Xuanting, and Yang Jishan and Yang Wanshuo were both in the camp.

Yang Xuangan said:"The emperor sent someone to urge for food again, how should we respond?"

Li Mi said:"It will take some time to delay the official's opinion."

"Please elaborate. Yang Xuangan said

"Since the Lord is preparing to rebel and must recruit soldiers and horses, why not reply to the emperor? There are many thieves along the canal, so we need to recruit brave soldiers to escort the food and grass."

"Okay, let's follow this plan."Yang Xuangan immediately ordered Yang Xunzong, Yang Xuanting, Yang Jishan, and Yang Wanshuo to secretly release military rations, recruit brave soldiers, and prepare for rebellion. The four brothers went to do it separately, leaving only Li Mi alone. Yang Xuangan asked:"The day when all the soldiers are recruited, it is Xuangan. At the time of rebellion, from Xuan Sui's perspective, how should we fight for the world?"

Li Mi said:"In the end, there will be three strategies: upper, middle and lower, for the lord to choose."

"Come quickly."

Li Mi walked to the map hanging in the central military tent, pointed to the map and said:"From east to north, occupy Zhuojun, blockade Linyu Pass, and block Yang Guang's retreat. In just ten days, all the supplies of the 700,000 Sui army will be exhausted. , If you don't surrender, you will be defeated. If you don't fight, you will die. This is the best plan. Yang

Xuangan nodded, hesitated, and asked,"How about falling into the trap?""

Li Mi said:"Raise your troops to the west, attack Tongguan, capture the capital of Daxing, destroy the foundation of the Sui Dynasty, appease its soldiers and people, and hold on to the danger. This is a plan. After hearing what he said, Yang Xuangan thought for a long time and asked again:"I don't know what to do?" Li Mi said again,"

What's the next move...use elite troops to attack Luoyang, the eastern capital, and give orders to all directions?" However, the city of Luoyang is tall and strong. If it cannot be conquered in a hundred days and the Sui soldiers reinforce it from all sides, there will be endless troubles. This is a trick. Yang

Xuangan listened to the three strategies, pondered for a long time, and said,"Now all the officials and their families are in Luoyang. If we take them first, it will shock people's hearts. If Luoyang doesn't pull out, how can we show off our power?" The public plan is the best policy."

Li Mi said:"This is a risky move. The terrain of Luoyang is a place of four battles, with mountains and rivers blocking it. Once the princes get together, it will be difficult to hold them back."

"The princes are all in Liaodong, why should they be afraid? Xuan Sui, don’t forget, I have the food for millions of people. Yang Xuangan said with a proud smile.

……

In June of the same year when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was on his second eastern expedition, Yang Xuangan raised the flag of righteousness and launched an army to rebel. On the shore of Liyang, the rebels began to provide relief to the poor people. Li people who did not know the truth gathered one after another, and the crowds surged. This move became very popular in a short period of time.

The poor people who were recruited, cheering and supporting, gathered in the Liyang camp one after another with great excitement, responded to Yang Xuangan, received swords and guns, and followed the rebellion.

The Liyang Camp suddenly became agitated, and hundreds of people responded to the call. Yang Xuangan, wearing a helmet and armor, climbed onto the general stand, drew his sword and swore an oath:"The Lord is unrighteous and does not care about the people. He resorts to military violence and chaos in the world. Dozens of people in Liaodong will die." Tens of thousands of plans. Now we are raising troops with you to save the people from harm!"

Under the high platform, everyone cheered. The brave soldiers escorting the grain and farmers, fishermen, and hard laborers were all excited, and they all supported Yang Xuangan as their lord. Yang Xuanzang, Yang Xuanting, Yang Jishan, and Yang Wanshuo organized all the people into an army.

Under the instruction of Yang Xuangan, everyone lit a raging fire at the Yellow River ferry, burned hundreds of five-tooth warships preparing to transport, and cut off the Yellow River waterway.

Yang Xuangan immediately issued a military order, and the rebel army was divided into two groups: north and south. They attacked the eastern capital Luoyang in a pincer attack and raised the banner of the first large-scale uprising in the Sui Dynasty. It can be said that the smoke was lit at Liyang Ferry, and the firecrackers were burned to cut off the food supply. If you defeat Goryeo, you will be a fool. Why not rebel in the Central Plains?

One call echoes the anger of a hundred people, and tens of thousands of people rise up and share the anger. The great righteous deeds are carried out, and people are surrounded by wind and fire.

He quickly reported to Luoyang, the eastern capital, and learned that Yang Xuangan had rebelled. Fan Zigai, who was left behind in the eastern capital, was extremely frightened and hurried to Qianyang Palace to pay homage to Queen Xiao Jun.

Seeing Fan Zigai's head full of sweat and his face anxious, Empress Xiao asked:"Master Fan

, what's the important matter?" Fan Zigai said:"I'd like to express my gratitude to you, my Majesty, something serious has happened. Yang Xuangan, the Minister of Rites, has rebelled."

"ah?"Xiao Jun refused to listen. When he heard this, it was like five thunderbolts. He was shocked. Xiao Jun calmed down a little and asked:"Immediately summon the generals in the east capital city and wait for the order in Qianyang Palace."

Queen Xiao passed down the edict, and Fan Zigai immediately took the order to pass on the edict and summon the civil and military officials of the Eastern Capital.

After a short wait, the summoned officials arrived one after another. Queen Xiao Jun was sitting upright, and all the civil and military officials had arrived. On both sides of the queue, Fan Zigai said:"Your Majesty, you are a thousand years old. All the officials from the Eastern Capital have arrived.""

"Mr. Fan, please inform everyone of the emergency ahead.

Fan Zigai took out the emergency report and read:"On the third day of June in the ninth year of Daye, Yang Xuangan, the Minister of Rites, led the Liyang thieves to rebel on the pretext of raising military supplies." The troops were divided into two groups and headed straight to Luoyang, the eastern capital. Upon hearing this , all the officials started talking, whispering and discussing. The minister Pei Hongce stood up and asked,"We are fighting all the way from Liyang. Is there no one to stop us along the way?"

Fan Zigai said:"All the troops stationed along the way were transferred to Zhuojun. There is no force to stop them.""Everyone knows that the current situation is shocking and dangerous.

Xiao Jun asked:"My dear friends, the situation is critical, the rebels are surging, and time is not waiting for us. Is there any strategy to quell the chaos?"

Yu Juluo was the first to stand up, bowed and said:"My queen, don't worry, there are only a few rebels, they are not worth mentioning. I have three thousand elite soldiers to destroy the rebels. Pei Hongce bowed and said:"

General, please don't lie. Yang Xuangan's rebellion was definitely not a spur of the moment. It must have been premeditated. The subordinates thought that it was better to divide the troops and attack and ask for help from everywhere." Fan Zigai also said:"

Mother, in the east of the capital, there must be no generals in charge. Yu Juluo can stay behind to stabilize the morale of the army. Then order Pei Hongce and Da Xi to lead an army each and attack separately.""

"Okay, Ai Jia will play it accurately.

Empress Xiao said to Fan Zigai again:"Publish the decree of Ai Jiayi again, urgently report the soldiers and horses of all states and counties, and summon the troops of King Qin from all over the world to relieve the siege of Dongdu.""Everyone took the order and acted separately.

Everyone dispersed. Yu Juluo saw that Pei Hongce and others had their own missions to fight the rebels. Only he, as a general, could not go out to fight. He felt very dissatisfied and left Qianyang Palace in despair. At this time, I heard someone calling softly from behind:"General Yu, please stay."

Turning around and seeing it was Hu Si Zheng, the Minister of War, Yu Juluo asked:"Master Hu Si, what's the matter?"

"Please take a step to speak."Hu Si Zheng led Yu Juluo to the side, and looked around. When he saw that there was no one around, he said:"Yang Xuangan rebelled, and the people responded. The attack is menacing, and the good or bad is unpredictable. I don't know how the general will respond? Yu

Juluo pulled his face, sighed and said:"I am a general, I am just a bandit, so why should I care about you?" However, neither the Queen nor Fan Zigai sent me to fight, which is frustrating."

Seeing that Yu Juluo was in a bad mood, Hu Sizheng's eyes flashed and he whispered:"Don't you know the reason, general? Yu

Juluo was confused and asked:"What do you think is the reason?""

"Since your second brother Yuju Zan came to trial, the general lost his military power in Liaodong and was transferred back to the capital, without being reused. It can be seen that the emperor and queen are already wary, and the general must be on guard."

Hearing what Hu Sizheng said, Yu Juluo took a breath of cold air unconsciously, and then he came up with:

General Chongtong is rebellious, cooperating with foreign soldiers to act as internal responders.

There is no weak talent among the thousands of Empress Xiao, let's see if they can be eliminated in one battle Traitor!
