Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 535 Luo Cheng's Rebellion
At the end of the ninth year of the great cause.

The Sui Dynasty was also in the midst of wind and rain.

Shenzhi Zhengshi and Minister of the Ministry of War Luo Yi sat in his office and looked through the compiled information on anti-thieves from all over the world, which was collected by the staff of the Ministry of War.

As one of the four divisions of the Ministry of War, in addition to being in charge of the citation, verification, rewards and punishments, pensions, and military inspections and tests of military officials, Luo Yi is also in charge of the map of the world. According to Cheng's suggestion, a group of personnel was recruited under the staff to be engaged in intelligence collection work full-time, and they were also tasked with secretly assassinating enemy generals and officials.

"In Gaojibo, Qinghe County, Hebei, there is Zhang Jin, who is called the Supreme King; in Douzigang, Pingyuan County, there is Dou Jiande, the King of Changle; the King of Shanggu, Xuba, is called the King of Mantian."

There are three kings in Hebei, and these three kings are no worse than the previous King Yan and Zhao Wang. These people are not weak, and they all claim to have hundreds of thousands of people. It is true that there are more than one hundred thousand people gathered. Although most of them are mobs, many are old and weak, and there are only more than ten thousand bandits who can fight, it is amazing enough.

Also.

In the land of Hetao in Guanlong, Bai Yusuo, a Lingwu man, plundered herd horses, hooked up with Turks, and took the name Nu Shanyu.

Tang Bi, a man of Fufeng, embraced Li Hong as the emperor and called himself the king of Tang.Xiang Haiming, a monk in Fufeng, even claimed that Maitreya came to the world, gathered tens of thousands of monks and nuns, and wanted to build a Buddhist kingdom, attracting countless believers to follow.

Liu Jialun of Yan'an claimed to be the emperor.

King Liu Miao, a native of Lishi, called himself the Son of Heaven.

Poyang people drilled and begged, claiming to be the king of Yuanxing.

In addition, Peng Xiaocai of Donghai, Zuo Xiaoyou of Jianghuai, and Lu Mingyue of Zhuojun, although they have not yet become king, their strength is already very strong.

These are the anti-kings who have more than [-] thieves. Those with less than [-] people are not on this list.

"After killing the Overlord of Chu, another Emperor Wu came, and after killing Emperor Wu, so many other emperors, Maitreya, and Sons of Heaven came again. The world is really in chaos."

Luo Yi sighed, although the emperor has appointed eight conciliatory ambassadors to let them supervise the bandits in the governor's area to quell the chaos, but now the bandits are suppressing more and more.

Fortunately, after the emperor's edict to stop the Eastern Expedition was issued, it still had some effect. At least the people everywhere were very happy, and felt that they saw a little hope of living again.

But at this time, the emperor didn't want to rest and recuperate, but he still wanted to make a fuss.

Although the Eastern Expedition was not over, the emperor decided to go back to Daxing in Guanzhong this year to sacrifice to the Taimiao, announcing the victory of his Eastern Expedition, and Koguryo had surrendered. By the way, he would go north to Saibei next year to meet Shibi Khan.

"Why has no one persuaded His Majesty?"

An official said to Luo Yi.

"Why didn't you persuade me? Yesterday, I persuaded your Majesty, saying that Goguryeo was conquered three times, and the people suffered a lot. Your Majesty should town Fuguan and let the people do their best. In three to five years, the four seas will be a little richer, and then patrol the province. It's the right thing to do."

What this famous magician said was actually very insightful. The current task of the Sui Dynasty should indeed be to recuperate and persuade Sang Kenong to regain his vitality and win the hearts of the people.

But the emperor couldn't listen to such good words.

Not only did he not listen to it, but he was also very unhappy. He thought that if he conquered Goguryeo three times, he would defeat Goguryeo and eliminate the disaster on the northeastern border. Same as Tuyuhun.

But he didn't think about it. Although the Sui Dynasty wiped out Tuyuhun in the northwest a few years ago and set up four counties, in the past few years, the Tuyuhun people have not been stable at all. They are rebelling everywhere. After the establishment of the four counties, not only did the court not receive any real benefits, but the entire Guanlong area was dragged into the quagmire by the four counties.

Countless Guanlong Mansion soldiers had to take turns to fight to quell the chaos, and countless Guanlong people had to transport food.

But the emperor seemed to turn a blind eye to it, and only knew to praise the achievements of destroying Tuyuhun and the greatness of setting up the four counties every time.

Therefore, after Yu Zhi told the truth a few more words, he made the emperor very unhappy. Seeing that the emperor was like this, he was also disheartened, and asked to go back to his hometown to farm the land on the grounds of illness, but the emperor saw that he was still playing with me. ?

Then he also lost his temper and ordered people to arrest him and throw him into prison.

I don't know if Yu Zhi was really sick, or if someone deliberately flattered the emperor, but the master just entered the prison and died without a day.

Luo Yi looked at the thing in front of him again, finally signed his name on it, and then submitted it.

Purple Palace.

Yang Guang was extremely dissatisfied after reading Luo Yi's memorial.

"Haven't I already sent eight consolation envoys to suppress the rebellion and bandits? Some clowns would dare to proclaim themselves kings and emperors, but in front of my million soldiers in the Sui Dynasty, they are nothing more than morning dew."

Even the rebellion of top nobles like Yang Xuangan was flattened in March, Liu Yuanjin seized the land of the seven counties, and was captured and killed by Luo Cheng in the first battle, so Yang Guang always believed that even if there are indeed many bandits in the lower levels now, But it's just a small problem.

"How is the preparation for moving back to Xijing? Did Yuan Taizuo come?"

After the emperor issued the order to stop the Eastern Expedition, he had already conferred the title of King of Joseon on Yuan Tae-joo, who had surrendered, and ordered him to come to Luoyang for an audience.He also planned to bring Yuan Taizuo, Murong Shun of Tuyuhun, Luo Khan of the Western Turkic, Shibi Khan of the Eastern Turkic, and Khitan Khan Dahe Duoluo to sacrifice to the Taimiao.

"Your Majesty, things have changed."

"There has been a change, what has changed?" Yang Guang was annoyed when he heard it. He attached great importance to this matter. Before the soldiers and civilians refused to recruit again, he had no choice but to accept Goguryeo's request to surrender. From the emperor's point of view, Goguryeo really surrendered. Because they had to finish the game if they didn't surrender, he thought that Yuan Shi would definitely have to come to worship if he issued an edict.

After all, if the Goguryeo power official who just killed the king cannot get the canonization and approval of Yang Guang, he will be unstable as the king of Joseon.

"Returning to Your Majesty, Yuan Shi said that it was cold and the road was far away, and he was old and weak, so he could not come to Luoyang to see him in person, so he sent an envoy to come to congratulate him on his behalf."

Yang Guang's complexion changed rapidly, becoming extremely ugly.

Yuan Taizuo dare not come.

At the end of his northern tour of Turks and the end of his interview, he asked Xi, Khitan, Shiwei, Mohe, Goguryeo and other elders to come to visit him, but Gaoyuan, the king of Goguryeo, refused to come.

So Yang Guang began to prepare for the Eastern Expedition on the grounds that he was not a minister.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Taizuo dared not come.

"Your Majesty, Xu Guogong asked to see him, saying that there is an urgent military report."

"Xuan."

Yang Guang spat out a word coldly.

Yu Wenshu strode in.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong, Luo Cheng rebelled in Liaodong!"

When the emperor heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

"Impossible, how could Luo Cheng betray me?"

"Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely true!"
