A few days later, when Yang Guang sent Da Sui Wu Benlang to attack Liyangcang and killed Chen Leng with his troops, he was depressed for many days.Most of his troops are cavalry, with more than 2 troops galloping all the way back from Liaodong. It is the fastest marching army in the south of the Sui court. The one who is slower than his troops is Yuwen, the son-in-law. Soldiers and cavalry troops.

Chen Lingguan worshiped General Wu Benlang, who was also a famous general of the Sui Dynasty. Back then, he led the troops to conquer Liuqiu and opened up more than a thousand miles of territory for the Sui Dynasty.

It stands to reason that Yuwen Shiji's men and horses came from Liaoshui first, and his team is also all cavalry, so they will not be slower than Chen Leng anyway.But when Yuwen Shiji received a piece of news that shocked him, he immediately ordered his men to slow down, allowing Wu Benlang to overtake Chen Ling's team.

On the third day of June, Yang Xuangan rebelled in Liyang and recruited 8000 people from Caofu and Minzhuang to join the army.Immediately afterwards, he waved his troops westward.As a result, Hanoi was not conquered after two days of strong attack. Yang Xuangan led the rebels to turn east and attack Xiuwu.As a result, the county soldiers and civilians of Xiuwu County blocked Lin Qingguan. Yang Xuangan's rebel army lacked ladders, siege hammers and other siege equipment. In desperation, they had no choice but to continue eastward to Jixian Ferry, and collect ships from the ferry to cross south. Yellow River.

After the rebels crossed the Yellow River, they did not attack the cities along the way, but went west along the Yellow River all the way to Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Sui Dynasty.While walking, they kidnapped the people along the way to join the rebel army.After the initial team of 8000 people arrived in Luoyang, the total number of soldiers and horses has reached [-].Yang Xuangan ordered his younger brother Yang Jishan to lead [-] troops as the left army from the south of Yanshi to the west along the Luoshui River, and ordered his younger brother Yang Xuanting to lead [-] elite troops as the right army. People and horses are the rear army, responsible for supporting the various armies.

Fan Zigai, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who Yang Guang stayed in Dongdu, saw that Yang Xuangan's rebels were coming fiercely, so he had to divide his troops to resist them.The result was unexpected, the five thousand government soldiers who faced Yang Jishan thought they were timid to fight, and were beaten to death by the three thousand civilian husbands.Although Pei Hongce had more troops than Yang Xuanting, he lost support from the flanks and had to retreat while fighting. In only three days, the two troops sent by Fan Zigai to meet the enemy lost several times in a row and retreated to the city of Luoyang.

But this news was not surprising to Yuwen Shiji. The reason why he ordered the army to move forward slowly was because of another news.

On the eighth day of the seventh month, Pei Hongce was defeated again, and Fan Zigai beheaded him in a rage, which frightened the generals fighting outside the city. Fan Zigai called everyone into the city, but no one dared to enter!After the generals discussed, they surrendered to the rebels together!Among the surrendered generals were Yang Gongdao, the son of Yang Xiong, the king of Guan, Laiyuan, the son of the great general who came to protect his son, Pei Shuang, the son of Pei Yun, the censor, Han Shie, the son of Han Qinhu, and Yu Rou, the son of Yu Shiji, the internal historian, and more than 40 generals. Children of a family.

There were more than a dozen generals above the fifth rank who surrendered, which made Yuwen Shiji suddenly feel like a big head.

How can we fight this battle?

Almost all the children of the seven great families of the imperial court who stayed in the Eastern Capital surrendered to the rebels. Han Shie, the son of Han Qinhu, was named a general by Yang Xuangan. Ji had no choice but to slow down the team and not touch these people.Because these people are not terrible, what is terrible is that the family behind them is too powerful.The Yuwen family, the number one family in Jianyi's army, did not want to meet these people on the battlefield.Therefore, Yuwen Shiji gave up his first effort to help Dongdu, and the cavalry under his command crawled forward at a speed of less than fifty miles a day.

Fighting against Laiyuan, Pei Shuang and other aristocratic children, the emperor may not be happy if he wins!

Yuwen Shiji's men and horses slowed down, but Chen Ling had to bite the bullet and go up.Yuwenshi and the cavalry had no specific mission, but he was personally ordered by the emperor to attack Liyang City.Therefore, Yuwen Shiji can hide, but he cannot hide.Not only can't hide, but you have to speed up to catch up!He wanted to beat Li Yang down before the reinforcements led by Han Shie and others arrived at Li Yang.

However, to Chen Ling's surprise, Yuan Wuben, the leader of the rebel army guarding Liyang, was originally a little-known little man and a literati. Who would have thought that the military would be so stable!

No matter how Chen Ling sent people to call war in front of the door to lure the enemy, the Liyang rebels just couldn't hold out.For three days in a row, Chen Leng tried his best to lure Yuan Wuben out of the city.In desperation, Chen Ling had no choice but to order a strong attack.It's just that most of his men are cavalry, so it is obviously inconvenient to attack the city.So Chen Leng ordered the soldiers to cut down trees to build a ladder, and also built two battering rams made of giant wood.

In this way, Chen Leng, who should have taken Liyang City easily, had to fall into a hard fight.

A few days later, Liyang City ran out of feathers and arrows, Chen Ling immediately ordered the army to attack, the battering ram smashed open the west gate of Liyang, the imperial army swarmed in, Yuan Wuzhen died in battle, and Yuan Wuben was captured alive.It was only when the army of the imperial court entered Liyang City that Han Shie led 8 horses and came back before he had time to rectify the city's defenses.Facing the menacing rebel army, Chen Ling had no choice but to send someone out of the encirclement to seek help from Yuwenshiji.Yuwen Shiji thought about it and decided to break the siege of Liyang.Compared with so many children from aristocratic families, it is a good choice to fight only one Han Shie.

Yuwen Shiji, who was born in an aristocratic family, knew that the children of those aristocratic families surrendered to the rebels were not forced at all, but just pushed along.Compared with the Sui Dynasty, people from the aristocratic family cared more about the interests of the family.Great Sui can completely collapse the world of the Yang family, but it can never jeopardize the interests of their family.

There has been such a practice since a long time ago. When facing a national crisis, the aristocratic family has always had two plans.Important figures in the aristocratic family stand on the court's side, and they will also send younger generations to join the rebel army.In this way, no matter whether the court wins or the rebel army wins, no one from the aristocratic family will be defeated.

Knowing this well, Yuwen Shiji had to choose to face Han Shie, because in his opinion, fighting Han Shie was better than fighting other people. After all, Lai Yuan, son of General Lai Huer, Yu Rou, son of Yu Shiji, and son of Yang Xiong Yang Gongdao, the power behind Pei Yun's son Pei Shuang is even more astonishing.Just the aristocratic families represented by Yang Gongdao and Pei Shuang accounted for [-]% of the court officials!

Although Han Qinhu is the founding father, his family has gradually declined after all.

So Yuwen Shiji led his [-] elite cavalry, diverted to Liyang.

……

……

The imperial army came back, and the area south of the Yellow River was about to become a whole battlefield.Nearly a million troops fought in a mess here, but all of this has nothing to do with Li Xian.He was like a thief who stole the giant's treasure while the two giants were fighting, peacefully and happily waiting for the next opportunity to come.Because neither the court's men nor Yang Xuangan's men are what Li Xian can challenge now.

But after returning to Juyeze, Li Xian was not idle, but busy and started recruiting troops!His only advantage in this era is his smattering of knowledge about this period of history.Fortunately, Li Xian relied on this half-knowledge and the intelligence of Flying Tiger Secret Agent to complete the previous matter perfectly.Whether it is in Liaodong, Juyeze, Daishan, or Liyangcang.Of course, this has more to do with his unwillingness to be lazy.

What Li Xian has to wait for is the next opportunity.

In the first chance, he brought back [-] powerful soldiers from Liaodong. In the second chance, he successfully captured Juye Ze and killed Zhang Jin and called He Ruozhongshan to avenge him. The food that could not be eaten for several years was shipped out, the fourth chance... No one knew what he planned.

But since Li Xian began to order the recruitment of troops, his generals could more or less figure out that the general's next move would definitely be like a flood.

Now there are many refugees on both sides of the Yellow River, and many of them are healthy people.There are also many rebels, large and small, in Dongping County, and these are the source of soldiers.The so-called places where Yang Xuangan's rebel army passed by were cleaner than a plague of locusts.It was when the summer grain was about to be harvested that he rebelled. As a result, a large number of people were forcibly captured by him. Those who did not want to be thieves could only flee with their families. Large tracts of wheat in the fields rotted in the fields without being harvested.When Li Xian's team drove back from Liyang, the soldiers shed tears looking at the rotting wheat in the field.

"I've never seen such a waste of food!"

Xiong Kuohai squatted in the field and picked up a handful of moldy wheat grains, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and then cursed: "The rebels! They burned, killed and looted from the north of the Yellow River to the south of the Yellow River, and made a big circle from Liyang to Luoyang. Yang Xuan wondered what the hell he was doing! So much food has been wasted, and without waiting until winter, countless people will starve to death!"

Wang Qinian has been working in the food guards, and he is most disgusted with the waste of food.

"Yang Xuan feels that I-fuck-your ancestor!"

Wang Qinian stomped his feet and scolded, this year's weather is good, it should be a bumper harvest year, but because of Yang Xuangan's rebellion, thousands of miles of land was barren and no crops were harvested, and the grain rotted in the ground, but countless wild birds and fields were fattened mouse!The wheat, which should have been golden yellow, was black and rotten in the ground because no one harvested it and because of the wind and rain.

"Rebels!"

Niu Jinda sneered and said, "If this is a rebel army, then the damn Juye Ze Zhang Jin said that eating people's hearts is doing justice for the heavens!"

Liu Heikai patted Niu Jinda on the shoulder and comforted him: "Lao Niu, don't be angry. There is nothing we can do if we are angry now. The imperial court and Yang Xuangan's rebels are about to fight. Let them kill each other. God will Clean them up!"

After returning to Juyeze, Li Xian summoned his generals.Now there is no shortage of food in the cottage, so it has reached the point where it is necessary to expand the army.

"What does the general mean, that the foolish emperor will conquer Goguryeo next year?"

Xiong Kuo Hai suddenly widened his eyes, it was incredible
