Chapter 608: Anti-King Surrounding Jiangdu
Three days later, Li Mi set up an altar outside Xingyang City to worship the sky, proclaimed himself the king, named Wei Gong, and appointed Zhai Rang as the Shangzhu Kingdom, Situ, and Dongjun Gong, and other confidants under his command were also granted the title of the title of the Left Chief of the Marshal, Chai Xiaohe as the Right Chief of the Secretariat, Cui Shishu as the Chief of the General Administration, Xing Yiqi as the Record Room, Jia Runfu as the Sima, Zu Junyan as the Gongcao, and Wei Zheng as the Hucao.
Wang Bodang, Xu Shiji, Luo Shixin, Cheng Zhijie, and Shan Xiongxin were named five generals of the Wagang Army, known as the Five Tiger Generals; and Jia Xiong, Wang Junguo, Bing Yuanzhen, Zheng Yong, Deng Bao, You Junda and others were all named generals, with many talents and powerful generals.
In order to appease some old Wagang people, Li Mi also granted some high positions to Huang Junhan, Wang Ruxin, Zhai Hong and others.
After the Tiantian sacrifice to the flag, the Wagang Army officially established the king and prince system, and determined the ranks of superiors and subordinates, and the titles, salary, military discipline and regulations were also formulated in detail.
After Li Mi held great power, he decided to send troops to Hulao Pass and advance to Luoyang to plan a great cause.
The guards of Hulao Pass were Pei Renji and his son, with 50,000 troops. It was the eastern gate of Luoyang, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
After discussion, Li Mi sent Xu Shiji, Shan Xiongxin and Cheng Zhijie to lead troops to attack Hulao Pass.
Bing Yuanzhen was sent to guard Xingluo Cang because he was originally the garrison of the Sui Dynasty there, familiar with the terrain of Cang City, so as not to destroy the granary by other forces.
He also sent Fang Yanzao and Deng Bao to lead troops to conquer the counties and counties near Henan, continue to expand the territory and recruit new soldiers.
In this way, the Wagang Army was as powerful as a rainbow, and its reputation chasing Dou Jiande, becoming the best among the anti-kings of the Central Plains.
At this time, more than 20 rebels including Du Fuwei, Fu Gongtuo, Lin Shihong, Li Zitong, Liu Yuanjin, Shen Faxing, Zhang Qixu, Wei Qilin, Zhao Wanhai and Zhang Shan'an approached Jiangdu County, and wanted to attack them in groups, encircle and annihilate Yang Guang, and completely destroy the Sui Dynasty.
Yang Guang sent the generals on his way to join him and organized the soldiers of Jiangdu County to resist from all directions to Hu'er, Chen You, Zhao Cai, Yu Juluo, Dong Chun, Dugu Sheng, Wang Shichong, Yu Wenhua and other generals to resist the impedance of Jiangdu County and fight against the rebels.
After a few days of fierce battle, the Sui army of various groups had victory and loss, barely blocking the joint encirclement of many anti-kings.
On this day, when Yang Guang learned that Li Yuan had sent troops from Jinyang to attack Daxing City, he was furious and scolded Li Yuan for being ungrateful and even his royal relative rebelled.
Yang Guang and Li Yuan were cousins of aunts. Both of them were Dugu Xin. However, Yang Guang was named Marshal Pingchen when he was in his twenties. He was on duty to command a 500,000 army, destroyed Nanchen, and then served as the chief supervisor in Jiangnan. When he returned, he successfully seized power and ascended the throne as his younger brother. Li Yuan was always low-key, giving people a sense of meanness. He was not a person with great ambitions, so he was not allowed to be promoted. Yang Guang often made fun of Li Yuan and joked that he was a grandmother, which means an old lady.
Unexpectedly, this grandma would be so bold. Jinyang raised an army to abolish him, the emperor and establish a new lord. Anyone with discerning eyes also knew that this was Li Yuan's temporary plan, and his plan must be the emperor himself.
"Everyone in the Li family should have killed it. Why did you miss this big fish?" Yang Guang looked murderous, betrayed by his relatives, and felt like he was teased by appearances. Especially when he thought that Li had a prophecy in the world, he hated Li Yuan even more.
Soon, another news was reported by Yu Shiji, that was that the prophecies and rumors were false, and that Yuwen Shu had thrown it out and said it deliberately in order to deal with the Li family.
"Take it seriously at this time?" Yang Guang became even more angry.
"This news came from the north and began to spread in Jiangdu County. It is said that it will soon be known to everyone in the world. When the Li family saw that the Yang Valve had arrived, they targeted the Li Valve. After all, once these two Valves fell, the Yuwen Valve was the boss of Guanlong." Yu Shiji analyzed.
Yang Guang's face was gloomy and sunny. In order to prevent the rebellion from happening in the country, he deliberately attacked the Li family from the top and bottom. Li Hun, Li Min and others were killed, and there were many involvements. Only then did he realize that it was Yuwen Shu's conspiracy to attack political enemies, and Yang Guang felt like he was deceived.
"Yuwen Shu, this old thing, has caused me to eliminate many Li family members. Killing the wrong Zhongliang and shaking the foundation of the country is really unforgivable!" Yang Guang roared, but Yuwen Shu was dead and had no evidence of death, so he could only expose his anger on his son.
So Yang Guang sent people out of the city and went to the front line to recall Yu Wenhuaji. Yu Wen Zhiji, and cursed on the spot, and wanted to take him out and behead him...
Yu Wenhe was very unjust and kept kowtowing, "Your Majesty, I am unjustly. First of all, what my father did has never mentioned to us, so we are not aware of it. Secondly, this is all rumor. My father is no longer in the world and cannot confront him. I think that it must be because some people hate my Yuwen family, so they will use this trick to frame my Yuwen family. We are loyal to Your Majesty, and the sun and the moon can be seen, and we have no other intentions. Please spare us for the sake of the generations of our Yuwen family's contribution to the royal family."
At this time, Yuwen Cheng also walked into the hall and knelt down to plead, which made Yang Guang take back his life to behead him.
Feng Deyi had received a lot of benefits from Yuwen Shu before, and then stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this incident originated from rumors. Without conclusive evidence, it is difficult to make a conclusion. Moreover, this matter may not be a good thing for the court at present. It can crush the prophecy that Li family should have in the world, so that it can attack Li Mi, Li Yuan, Li Zitong, Li Gui and others, and use prophecies to incite people's hearts."
Pei Ju, the Huangmen Minister, also advised: "Your Majesty, Jiangdu is currently attacked by enemies. Don't kill the imperial generals because of rumors, otherwise it will easily make the soldiers feel disappointed."
Yang Guang calmed down and nodded slightly, feeling that what the few people said was reasonable. He still had to rely on Yuwen Chengdu to defend the palace. The Yuwen family was not small during his accompanying him. He could no longer kill powerful ministers like before, as he did before, and still focus on winning people's hearts.
"Since all the ministers petitioned for the Yuwen family, I also remember the loyalty of the Yuwen clan to the court, and this time I pardoned you for your sins. However, Yuwen Zhi and the three brothers all want to be demoted to the two levels. We don't entrust them to be valued and stay in Jiangdu City." Yang Guang snorted coldly, and his own majesty was revealed.
Yu Wen and his brothers kowtowed and thanked each other, and they were covered in cold sweat, but the resentment in their hearts had accumulated to the point of being boiling.
