Volume 1 Chapter 350 Troubled times have come

The proud Ben Gongzi returned to this fox friend and dog friend, and Li Yaoguang poured three glasses of wine in one go, and seemed to have regained his composure, sweat, this amount of wine really made me speechless.

While eating food, tasting wine, and enjoying the beautiful scenery of autumn, everything seems so harmonious, the only discordant thing is that Li Xuanba and Liu Hongji began to play a game of horn and tangle again, well, and Han Shige has taken off his shirt, revealing a strong and black-haired body, it seems that this guy is ready to challenge the winner.

"Such a beautiful view, such a delicious wine and food, it is really memorable." Tang Jian was very emotional.

"Yes, it's a pity, under such a view, in the world, I don't know how many people in Ludao can be as comfortable as us." Li Shimin shook his head, with an expression of concern for the country and the people.

"According to the news that came, Yang Guang was already preparing to make peace with Goguryeo." Tang Jian took a sip of wine, smacked his lips and smiled.

"After fighting for so long, even the Liao River has not been crossed, and the soldiers have no fighting heart, they will have no courage, everyone thinks of returning, poor Guande Wang Rongma has been a lifetime, and now he is actually dying in a foreign land." I nodded, a little gloomily.

The news I just received the day before yesterday, King Guande was originally sick and went out, I don't want to, after going to Zhuo County, the sick body is getting heavier, is it to take action, Tunnel stayed in Zhuo County to recuperate, but unfortunately, in the middle of June, the old and frail King Guande finally failed to support the end of the war, and passed away.

And Yang Shidao had already hurried away, and his brother Yang Gongdao also went straight to Zhuojun from Chang'an, hoping to pick up his father's body and return to his hometown for burial.

Along with this gloomy news, there are a lot of things, Yang Guang's northern expedition to Goguryeo, asking for 500,000 conscriptions, and he led 200,000 elites to go first, but by mid-June, the 500,000 troops recruited were not even half enough, and many counties rebelled one after another, and even many conscripted soldiers raised anti-flags locally.

And at this time, I finally received good news, that is, Qu Tutong led the elite of Guanzhong, slowly advancing, although there was no big victory, but it has been pressing Liu Jialun and Ji Hu to retreat step by step, and finally, when the army arrived in Yan'an County, the army stopped.

To make the enemy mistakenly think that the officers and soldiers were cowardly, and even in order to convince these rebels, Qu Tutong even announced that he would withdraw his troops because of lack of food, so as to make the rebels relax their vigilance. At the same time, Qu Tutong secretly led his troops to Shangjun (Zhiluojiao, now Fuxian, Shaanxi).

However, Liu Jia did not know the enemy's situation, so he led his troops to the south and camped seventy miles away from Qu Tutong's army. At this time, taking advantage of Liu Jia's carelessness and exhaustion, the army was tired. Qu Tutong led the elite to attack his camp at night. At that time, he killed Liu Jialun and rebelled more than 10,000 soldiers.

Tens of thousands of old and weak rebels were taken captive, and Jingguan was built in Nanshan Mountain, Shangjun, so far, Liu Jia's department became a plate of scattered sand, scattered and fled, and Liu Harrier, the leader of Najihu, did not even dare to fight with Qu Tutong, retreated hundreds of miles, and went to Lishi (Luliang Mountains).

Although Qu Tutong won a great victory, however, the wind of rebellion and uprising in the entire Great Sui Dynasty intensified, and Qu Tutong's great victory did not help the overall situation at all.

This is history, a history that has made countless people in later generations beat their chests, but they are powerless to change it. And all I can do so far is to work hard to recruit displaced people and silently develop and strengthen myself. For my future, but also for the future of China.

Standing on the dock, once again bidding farewell to his mother, sister, and Li Yaoguang and other people, they stayed here for nearly two months, and finally left, looking at their distant figures, I was really reluctant, but now, there is no way, those who are officials are not allowed to bring their families, this is the custom. It's okay to come and see it once in a while, but if you stay too long, Ben Gongzi will definitely be impeached.

"Childe, I can't see the ship anymore, let's go back." Beside me, Sister Qingxia's voice came, I looked at the level of the sail that had disappeared, turned around, smiled at her and nodded, took a long breath, turned over and jumped on the horse's back, and galloped away into the distance.

On July 17, Yang Guangchejia temporarily stayed in Huaiyuan Town, because of the chaos in the world, many of the soldiers who were requisitioned had not yet arrived, and the Goguryeo Kingdom that wanted to resist the overall situation in a corner had already been tired and tired, and at this moment, Laihu'er passed the sailor division and led the army to reach Biyu City, Goguryeo people were shocked and hurriedly sent troops to meet the enemy, but they were defeated by Laihu'er, and they marched towards Pyongyang, the royal city of Goguryeo, to force confessions.

The king of Goryeo, Gao Yuan, was frightened, and on the 28th, he sent an envoy to beg for surrender, and took down Hu Sizheng, the servant of the Great Sui Army who had defected to Goguryeo, and escorted it to the Great Sui.

Lai Hu'er summoned his subordinates and said: "The army has gone out three times, but it has failed to pacify Goryeo, and I will not be able to come again when I go back this time. Now Goryeo is indeed exhausted, and with so many of our troops, we will be able to defeat Goryeo. Wouldn't it be nice that I plan to march into the army to directly encircle Pyongyang, capture Gao Yuan, and return triumphantly? ”

So he came to Hu'er to ask Emperor Yang to go on the expedition, but refused to return with the edict. Changshi Cui Junsu tried his best to obey the class teacher, but he didn't agree, saying: "Goryeo can't support it anymore, the emperor completely believes in appointing me, and I can completely decide this matter for myself." I'm outside the imperial court, and I should decide for myself if there is something, and I'd rather capture Gao Yuan and return and be punished, but I can't give up this chance to succeed."

Cui Junsu told everyone: "If you follow the marshal and disobey the emperor's edict, you will definitely be played as the emperor, and we will all be punished." "The generals were terrified and demanded to return. Only when I came to Hu'er did I accept the edict of the class teacher.

On the fourth day of the eighth month, Yang Guang, who was full of regret and reluctance, but had to withdraw from the army, finally returned to the dynasty from Huaiyuan Town. And who would have thought that Yang Gongqing, the handsome thief, would be so bold that he led his 8,000 people to rob the baggage team behind the military chariot of the Son of Heaven, and actually snatched 42 good horses from the Feihuang stable.

Yang Guang was furious and ordered the army to search for the enemy's traces everywhere, but unfortunately, except for some unlucky bandits, Yang Gongqing could not be found at all, so he could only continue to move south.

In winter, on the third day of October, Emperor Yang arrived in the eastern capital, and after staying in the eastern capital for ten days, he returned to Chang'an, Xijing, on October 25.

He sued the temple with the envoy of Goryeo and the political sacrifice of Husi, and still recruited the king of Goryeo, Gao Yuan, to enter the pilgrimage to see him, but Gao Yuan refused. So Emperor Yang ordered the generals to prepare their suits, intending to attack again, but they failed to make the trip.

On the second day of the first month of November, Yang Guang ordered Hu Sizheng to be executed outside the Jinguang Gate, and executed Hu Sizheng according to the method of executing Yang Jishan, and boiled his meat for the officials to eat. After that, the bones of Hu Sizheng were collected together, incinerated and discarded.

On November 21, Liu Miaowang, the leader of the Hu people in Lishi County, led a rebellion, proclaiming himself the Son of Heaven and having tens of thousands of troops.

And Wang Deren, the thief marshal of Jijun, has tens of thousands of people and is a thief in Lin Shushan.

Peng Xiaocai in the East China Sea plundered Yishui. Peng Shou stayed behind Dong Chun to lead the army to crusade and captured Peng Xiaocai, but unfortunately, although Dong Chun won many battles, the world was full of smoke. The minister of civil and military affairs in the court framed Dong Chun for cowardice, which caused local instability, and Yang Guang was angry and ordered Dong Chun to be beheaded in the eastern capital.

Dong Chun's death not only made all the generals in the world feel cold, but also made people see Yang Guang's irascible personality clearly

Changbai Mountain thief Shuai Meng Rang plundered the counties from Changbai Mountain, he arrived in Xuyi, with more than 100,000 people, occupied the Duliang Palace, and used Huaishui as a strong barrier. King Shichong of Jiangdu County led his troops to resist Meng Rang, and he used five fences to block the dangerous places, pretending to be weak. Meng Rang said with a smile: "Wang Shichong is a grammar official, how can he lead troops?" Today I want to capture Wang Shichong alive and enter Jiangdu City with great fanfare."

At that time, the people built forts to defend themselves, and there was nothing left to loot in the wilderness, and Meng Rang's troops gradually starved, so Meng Rang left a small number of troops, surrounded five fences, and divided his troops to the south to loot. Wang Shichong took advantage of the other party's slackness, waved his army to attack, and broke Meng Rang, Meng Rang only escaped with a few horses, and Wang Shichong won more than 10,000 heads.

Qi County thief commander Zuo Xiaoyou led his troops of 100,000 people to guard the squatting dog mountain. Zhang Xutuo, the commander of Qijun County, got down the military camp and forced to squat on Dog Mountain, and Zuo Xiaoyou was desperate and had to surrender. Zhang Xutuo Wei Zhen Dongxia, because of his meritorious promotion to the general guard of Qi County, concurrently served as the ambassador of the 12 counties of Henan Province to depose the arrest.

Zhuojun thief marshal Lu Mingyue led more than 100,000 troops to garrison in Zhu'a County, Zhang Xutuo led 10,000 soldiers to intercept Lu Mingyue, the two sides held each other for more than ten days, the official army was about to run out of food, and when he was about to retreat, Zhang Xutuo said to the soldiers: "The thieves saw us retreating, and they must lead all the men and horses to pursue, if they attack and occupy the camp of the thieves with a thousand people, they can achieve a big victory, this is indeed a dangerous thing, who can go?" The people did not dare to answer. Only Luo Shixin and Qin Shubao, a native of Licheng, asked to go.

So Zhang Xutuo abandoned the camp fence and retreated, and sent Luo Shixin and Qin Shubao to lead 1,000 troops each to ambush in the reeds. Lu Mingyue concentrated all his men and horses to pursue Zhang Xutuo, Luo Shixin and Qin Shubao led their troops to gallop to Lu Mingyue's camp, the camp gate was closed, the two climbed over the fence to the walled tower, and each killed a few people, and Lu Mingyue's camp was in chaos.

The two killed the soldiers guarding the camp gate and let the officers and soldiers outside in, and took advantage of the situation to set fire to more than 30 barracks of Lu Mingyue, and the flames soared to the sky. Lu Mingyue quickly galloped back to the camp, and Zhang Xutuo returned to the army to attack hard and break Lu Mingyue. Lu Mingyue led hundreds of cavalry to escape, and Lu Mingyue's troops were captured and killed countless by the army. Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao, the hero of the Sui Dynasty who I have admired for a long time, finally appeared during the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty.
