"I only know that I can protect the leader and lose it to the ground today."

October of the 12th year of Daye was definitely an ominous month for the Great Sui Dynasty. On the sixth day of the 10th month, Yuwen Shu, who had been in charge of the world for more than ten years, suddenly died of illness on October 17th, Zhang Xutuo, the pillar of Shandong Province.

Dead in Dahai Temple, and on October 29th, after leaving this last word, Yang Zhiji, the most dedicated and low-key prince of the Great Sui Dynasty, also passed away. In just one month, three people were against the Great Sui Dynasty.

The important officials who had an irreplaceable role in the court passed away one after another, covering the Great Sui Dynasty, which had already gradually moved to a downward trend, with a mysterious veil.

However, the situation has reached this point, Emperor Yang of Sui was still working hard to perform his tricks. Just because of Yu Shiji's slander, Emperor Yang of Sui actually issued an order to disband the rebel army of Yang Yichen, the pillar of Hebei, and forced Yang Yichen to come.

Jiangdu entered the court as an official. Poor Yang Yichen, who was as famous as Zhang Xutuo, had just wiped out Gao Shida and Zhang Jin, two giant bandits. He was preparing to concentrate all his efforts to wipe out Dou Jiande, who had been beaten to the end of the road, but had to disband himself with tears.

The elite troops under his command went south to Jiangdu in one step and three times.

As a result, not only did the thief in Hebei immediately re-emerge, but Dou Jiande also ushered in a golden period of his development. He first collected the remnants left by Gao Shida and Zhang Jincheng, and then adopted a policy of mercy to target the officials he captured.

All the gentry treated them well and appointed officials, which caused counties and counties in various parts of Hebei to surrender and surrender to Dou Jiande. In a short time, more than 100,000 rebels were reorganized. The situation in Hebei that Yang Yichen finally broke out was completely put to the ground.

flow.

Emperor Yang of Sui could ignore the lives of the soldiers, civilians and people in Hebei, but Emperor Yang of Sui, who was in Jiangdu and had to contact the north, could not ignore it. Like in history, he received the Dongdu sent Pei Renji to reinforce.

After the news of Hulao Pass, Emperor Yang of Sui indeed enthroned Pei Renji as the ambassador for arrest in Henan, and incorporated Zhang Xutuo's old subordinates, and presided over the military operation to fight against the Wagang Army.

A little different from history, Emperor Yang of Sui did not know that his nerve was wrong, so he even enthroned Wang Shichong as the ambassador of Huaibei and the remnant of Pengcheng, and asked Wang Shichong to be responsible for the fight against the treason army in Huaibei counties and consolidate the north of Jiangdu County.

Safety. Although Wang Shichong knew that it was a mess, he did not dare to disobey the order, so he could only go north to Pengcheng to take office. Fortunately, Emperor Yang of Sui had expressed his compassion and asked Wang Shichong to take his direct descendants to Pengcheng north.

To suppress the thieves, Wang Shichong's capital is still there.

Pei Renji was indeed an unreliable person. After confirming the news that Pei Renji was ordered to incorporate the rest of Zhang Xutuo's troops, Chen Yingliang immediately wrote to Pei Renji, using the excuse that he had a deep friendship with Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin, he directly asked Pei Renji for these two members.

The powerful general, Pei Renji not only used the excuse of refusal to war, but also wrote to Emperor Yang of Sui that it was weak. He obtained the agreement of Emperor Yang of Sui to transfer the 10,000 Dongdu troops he brought to Hulao Pass to the Henan battlefield to listen to and revoke them.

After Chen Sangliang allocated 10,000 troops to him, Chen Sangliang was so angry that he was filled with smoke, but he had no choice but to do anything about it.

But fortunately, after losing the eastern corner and gaining the samurai, the backer of Yuwen Shu, the old loach Yun Dingxing took the initiative to actively approach Chen Yingliang, the new prince of the imperial court, and took the initiative to ask Chen Sangliang to train the Zuotun Guards for him.

Chen Sangliang had the final say in the appointment and promotion of generals at all levels. In fact, the power of Zuotun guards was handed over to Chen Sangliang, and the garrison outside Luoyang City was finally controlled by Chen Sangliang. Chen Sangliang's this

He was a little satisfied. However, out of contempt for Zhu Can's atrocities, Chen Sangliang still did not value it and promoted Zhu Can, who was also constantly taking the initiative to move closer to him. Zhu Can gradually became full of resentment towards Chen Sangliang.

In addition, Chen Sangliang also received a good news during this period, that is, after hard work, Emperor Yang of Sui finally appointed Gao Shilian as the prefect of Hongnong. Chen Sangliang's third cave of the three caves of the cunning rabbit was finally completed. When it was a critical moment, the family could

With an extra way out, the abundant money and grain in Hongnong Palace and the nearby Changping Warehouse can also become Chen Sangliang's pocket at any time.

In this way, before we knew it, time had already entered the gate of the thirteenth year of Daye. However, for the Sui court, this was also an ominous year. As soon as the first month of the year entered, Chen Sangliang received Taiyuan.

The bad news came from the side. Gao Junya, Fan Zigai's right-hand assistant, accidentally fell into a trap during the fight against the rebel Zhen Zhai'er. She was surrounded by Zhen Zhai'er in the Queshi Valley in Xihe County. She was defeated and died.

The entire Sui army in Taiyuan was wiped out, and Fan Zigai, who was plagued by old and sick, had no choice but to write a letter to Emperor Yang of Sui and ask for help.

After receiving this news, Chen Sangliang was extremely conflicted. He was willing to volunteer to replace Fan Zigai to guard Taiyuan, but he knew that Emperor Yang of Sui would definitely not agree, and he was reluctant to give up Luoyang, the eastern capital, which had gradually established a foundation.

When I went to Taiyuan to start over, I was determined to ask my cousin Li Jing to serve Fan Zigai as deputy, but I was still unsure. At the same time, I was also a little cautious and could not make up for this idea.

In contrast to Chen Sangliang, after Chen Sangliang heard the news of Gao Junya's death and Fan Zigai asking for help, Fang Xuanling showed joy and immediately said to Chen Sangliang: "Brother, this is a

A good opportunity, if you operate well, you can not only further control the Dongdu army, but also take the opportunity to expand the size of the Dongdu army."

"How to act?" Chen Sangliang asked quickly.

"Your brother might as well submit a memorial and recommend Yun Dingxing to lead a Dongdu army to quell the thieves in Taiyuan." Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "In this way, without the Yun Dingxing link, you will be able to control it further

When Yun Dingxing led his army northward, the strength of the Dongdu was weakened, and you had an excuse to ask Your Majesty to allow you to expand your army, recruit new troops to train with your own hands, and appoint generals at all levels. The new army will only listen to you.

I won't listen to others."

Chen Yingliang was overjoyed when he heard this and slapped the table and said, "It takes two birds with one stone. Although it takes some effort to do this, it will definitely be used to use the relationship between Pei Zuoxiang and Lai Zhuguo. It will cost a lot, but as long as it can be successful, these costs will definitely be worth it."

Having made up this idea, Chen Sangliang immediately started to implement it. While recommending Yun Dingxing to lead his army to reinforce Fan Zigai, he took the opportunity to request the expansion of the Dongdu army, while writing letters to Lai Huer and Pei Ju to explain the situation to them.

Gifts were given to them and they begged them to mediate, and then arranged money for Xiangmin, who was good at treating guests and giving gifts, to go to Jiangdu to operate bribes. Qian Xiangmin, who has been promoted to the sixth rank of essay, is greedy for life and fears death, and as always, he doesn't want to go, but see Chen

Sangliang's attitude is firm, Qian Xiangmin dared not refuse, so he could only beg Chen Sangliang: "It's okay to stay behind, Xiaguan goes to Jiangdu to handle the job, but his journey is very dangerous now. Xiaguan wants to ask you to join He Ersang.

I will serve as a follower. That kid is a ghost elf, familiar with thieves, good at disguising himself and negotiating with thieves. With him as a stole, you can be less dangerous."

"He Er is not in Dongdu, I will send him to Xingyang County Duke." Chen Sangliang shook his head and said, "But don't worry, I will arrange a few soldiers who are as skilled as He Er to protect you.

It’s okay to come and go, and take off the boat from Yingchuan to Liangjun, which is less dangerous."

"Why did He Er go to Xingyang?" Qian Xiangmin was a little puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask. Seeing Chen Sangliang arranged for Zhou Dao, he didn't say much, and took the envoy and said goodbye and went out.

It was also a coincidence that Qian Xiangmin, who was carrying heavy responsibilities, had just left Dongdu. He Er, the little bandit soldier who Ma Sanbao rescued on the battlefield, returned to Dongdu. He came directly to Lushunfang to ask for a meeting with Chen.

Sangliang. Chen Sangliang was overjoyed when he heard the news and immediately summoned He Er. As soon as he met, he asked, "How is it? Have you found out about General Mulan and Wang Xuance?"

"I found out." He Er's tone was a little low, and he said, "But staying behind is not good news."

"What? Have they sacrificed their lives for the country?" Chen Sangliang's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

"That's not." He Er shook his head and replied weakly: "They were all captured and rebelled."

"Catched and rebelled?" Chen Sangliang was shocked and blurted out: "It is impossible that Mulan and Wang Xuance are not like that."

"Leave the blame and forgive them, they have really been rebellious." He Er continued to shake his head and said powerlessly: "The villain disguised himself as a refugee and mingled into the thief team of Wagang. He found out clearly that General Mulan surrendered to Wagang after being captured.

The thief also married the sister of Shan Xiongxin, the head of the thief in Wagang. On October 20th, the thief in Wagang buried the general Zhang Dashen. General Mulan also led other captured soldiers from Qi County to mourn Zhang Dashen to give him filial piety to the funeral of Zhang Dashen."

"Mulan married Shan Xiongxin's sister?" Chen Sangliang's eyes almost popped out of his eyes, thinking that, that's it? The atmosphere of the Sui Dynasty has been open to the point where Lily can get married?

"It's true that they are still very loving. They always go out and go out together." He Er nodded and said, "Also, the villain also heard that after General Zhang was buried, there will be a newcomer immediately.

Many soldiers from Qi County cursed General Hua Mulan in public, and then fought with the Wagang thief with bare hands and dozens of people were killed in front of General Zhang's tomb."

Chen Sangliang was silent, unable to bear to imagine the tragic scene in his mind. The soldiers of Qi County were covered in mourning clothes, making Zhang Xutuo feel at ease, and then rushed to the fully armed Wagang army with bare hands and fulfilled their lives.

Their loyalty to the country and their respect for Zhang Xutuo………

"There is also Wang Xuance. The villain took a lot of effort to find out his whereabouts." He Er lowered his head and said, "He entered the Pushan Camp of the rioter Li Mi and served as a documentary under Li Mi's tent. I heard that he still had a job as a member of the sect.

Very loved by Li Mi.”

Chen Sangliang raised his head suddenly, and the eyes of Triangle were also shot out. After a moment of calculation, Chen Sangliang immediately ordered Yuan Tiangang next to him, "Mr. Yuan, immediately destroy all official documents and letters related to Wang Xuance, and send a command to the whole mansion.

, In the future, no matter whether inside or outside, you are not allowed to mention the name Wang Xuance again, as if this person has never appeared in my house."

"Is it necessary to stay here?" Yuan Tiangang said: "Wang Xuance is just a small library you temporarily appointed. He hasn't stayed under your account for a few days. He will not be involved in you anyway. Why be so troublesome?

”

"It must be so troublesome." Chen Yingliang said firmly, "Also, Wang Xuance's room is sealed immediately and no one is allowed to open it."

Seeing that Chen Sangliang was determined, Yuan Tiangang then agreed and went down to make arrangements. Chen Sangliang praised He Er a few more words, sent him down to receive the reward and rest, and then sat back in his seat, crossed his legs and thought in his mind.

He said intimately: "Wang Xuance, I believe that you, a little guy who destroys one country and refuses to be the king of your own will not betray me. And Mulan, what was the scene when you and the little girl named Dan entered the bridal chamber?

”

After thinking about this, Chen Sangliang, who is a bad person, naturally appeared in his mind. Some scenes of children in good children's videos that are not suitable for children, and then he even had an excited reaction, "Use your mouth? Or use your hands? Don't put it there.

Break it."

As the days passed day by day, the disadvantages of Emperor Yang of Sui living in Jiangnan gradually emerged. With the long and frequent blocking of the road, it was increasingly difficult for the banned officials from all over the Sui Dynasty to contact Emperor Yang of Sui.

The contact messengers sent to Jiangdu are often intercepted and killed on the road, and Emperor Yang of Sui has become increasingly difficult to control and command all over the country. The calls for Emperor Yang of Sui to return to both capitals are getting louder. Unfortunately, our donkey emperor not only ignores it at all.

, even had the idea of ​​moving the capital to Danyang (Nanjing), and put it into practice directly, and issued an order to build a palace in Danyang to prepare for moving the capital. Any civil and military officials who advised him were either exiled or beheaded, and opposition was violent.

After stopping, the Sui Dynasty was completely broken.

It's pretty good. Although Chen Sangliang sent Qian Xiangmin to Jiangdu encountered several dangers on the way, he finally arrived in Dongdu safely and presented Chen Sangliang's gifts and letters to Pei Juhe and had been promoted to Zuo Yiwei.

In front of the general Lai Hu'er, while Pei Ju and Lai Hu'er were gradually discouraged by the state affairs and political situation, they also gave Chen Sangliang some face, and spoke in front of Emperor Yang of Sui and helped.

Chen Sangliang persuaded Emperor Yang of Sui to agree.

What surprised Pei Ju and Lai Huer was that when they mentioned this incident in front of Emperor Yang of Sui, Emperor Yang of Sui said with some dissatisfaction: "Why did this Chen Yingliang delay doing things so much? Now he has made the memorial of Taiyuan's accuser urgent.

Sent?"

"Your Majesty, do you already know the military situation in Taiyuan?" Pei Ju asked in surprise.

Emperor Yang of Sui nodded and said casually: "The day before yesterday, Yu Shiji had already submitted the report of the prefect of Xihe to me, and this matter was mentioned above."

"When was Yu Shiji so enthusiastic about the Taiyuan war?" Pei Ju was puzzled and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty forgives the crime. Chen Liushou sent the emergency document from Taiyuan was issued by Fan Liushou. Xihe County is located in the south of Taiyuan, so the speed is to

It's slightly slower than Xihe County."

Emperor Yang of Sui thought about it carefully, but did not continue to care. He said casually: "Since you mentioned this, let's discuss it by the way. Yu Shiji recommended Duke Tang to me and went to Taiyuan to assist Fan Aiqing in quelling the thieves and chaos.

, What do you think?"

"Duke Li Yuan of Tang?" Pei Ju and Lai Hu'er were both shocked.

"Yes, Duke Li Yuan of Tang." Emperor Yang of Sui said casually: "Although Li Yuan was guilty before, he had already lost all his money to atone for his sins. For more than a year, he has been thinking about his mistakes and has no mistakes anymore. He is a royal relative.

, it is also very reliable in military affairs, and has always been loyal and capable. Doing wrong things is just to compete for merit with Chen Aiqing. Therefore, Yu Shiji advised me to give him a chance to redeem his sins, go to Taiyuan to serve as an official position, and lead the army under the supervision of Fan Aiqing

Pacify the thieves in Taiyuan.”

The expressions on Lai Hu'er and Pei Ju's faces changed. After a little calculation, Pei Ju decided to do his best and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I dare to remind you that the Duke of Tang made a big mistake in Yanmen. The reason

It was his son-in-law who forced Chen Liushou to retire from his marriage, which hurt his face and held a grudge against Chen Liushou, which led to what happened later. Duke Tang was so in this mind, and your Majesty, you once forced him to lose everything, so be careful."

"Your Majesty, what Pei Pushe said is very true." Lai Hu'er also quickly said: "Taiyuan and Jiangdu are three thousand miles apart. Even if it is five hundred miles apart, it will take more than six days to send the news to His Majesty. In such a great place, Your Majesty should be more cautious."

Emperor Yang of Sui was already a little worried about re-appointing Li Yuan. After hearing Pei Ju and Lai Hu'er's advice, he immediately gave up this idea. When he picked up Chen Yingliang's memorial and looked at it carefully, Emperor Yang of Sui asked again: "Chen Aiqing I recommend Yundingxing to quell the war and expand the Dongdu army to supplement it. What do you think?"

"I think it's very appropriate." Pei Ju said quickly: "General Yun has always been known for his talent, has made great achievements in military and political affairs, and has been grateful for his long-term honor and always thinks of repaying him. If Your Majesty regards him as his general, he will lead him to the The army went north to reinforce, and the thieves in Taiyuan were in chaos. I think it should be able to pacify quickly."

"I also think that Dongdu should expand some troops." Lai Hu'er also said: "Dongdu is located in the heart of the world, and the road connects the counties of the Great Sui Dynasty. No matter where your Majesty uses troops, it is the most important to dispatch troops from Dongdu. Conveniently, Pei Renji, the Henan envoy to arrest, had taken away 10,000 troops from the Eastern Capital. If His Majesty sends Yun Dingxing to the north to reinforce Fan Liushou, the Eastern Capital's troops will inevitably be more empty. Now, the Eastern Capital's army will be expanded in advance, and we can prepare for the future. effect."

The bosses of civil officials and generals agreed. Of course, Emperor Yang of Sui didn't say anything more, and immediately made a decision: "Okay, let Yun Dingxing lead his army 10,000 north to reinforce Fan Zigai, to quell the thieves and chaos in Taiyuan, and the Dongdu army The scale has been expanded to 100,000."

Hearing Emperor Yang of Sui's decision, he accepted many gifts from Chen Sangliang, and of course laughed. However, some people laughed and some people cried. Yu Shiji, who was already preparing to formally recommend Li Yuan at the court meeting the next day, had no choice but to do anything. In addition to giving up, he had to secretly inform the news to the representatives of Guanlong clans in Jiangdu City. The representatives of Guanlong who spent a lot of money to bribe Yu Shiji's suggestions were also helpless, and he could only send the news to him through his own channels. Li Yuan, who was far away in Cheng Ji, was of course furious when he was like this.

"I have had a grudge against Chen Yingliang, a common man, must have had so much money in his previous life. It was difficult for Yang Guang's child to change his attitude towards me. He was only one step away from being able to succeed. He was actually disturbed by this ordinary man who introduced Yundingxing. If Chen Yingliang's young man is not cut into pieces and executed by Lingchi, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart."

"Father, it's time to make up your mind to not take over Taiyuan by official positions, so you can only use force to use that old man Fan Zigai had no morale in Taiyuan at all. He was so sick that he couldn't even go to the military camp. Gao Junya was dead, and Wang Wei wanted to Assisting Fan Zigai in governance, he also has to worry about Taiyuan city defense. He does not have enough control over the Taiyuan army, which is a great opportunity for us to take action.”
