Turbulent Times Chapter 1241: The world shakes
In July Yisi (the third day of junior high school), 100,000 Turkic cavalry invaded, Yanmen Pass fell, and the world was shaken. Fortunately, Ying Yanglang of Taiyuan County guarded Taiyuan Gate to his death, temporarily stopping the Turkic cavalry from Bingzhou invasion.
Prince Yang Wei, who was stationed in Luoyang Jianguo, with the assistance of Su Wei and other officials, ordered all the county soldiers north of the Yellow River to go north to deal with the Turks, and at the same time sent an urgent report to Emperor Yang Guang outside Liaodong City.
What shocked the world again was that the Yang family in Hongnong County rebelled, and Yang Su, who had been suspended for seven or eight years, reappeared, and Yang Su issued an edict to the world in his own name, telling his story The reason why he was forced to feign death by the stupid king Yang Guang, and at the same time, he revealed the ten crimes of the stupid king Yang Guang to the world, which won the support of many common people, heroes and scholars.
However, Yang Su easily controlled the entire Hongnong County. With the 20,000 servants, servants, and tenants of the Hongnong Yang family who had been secretly trained for several years, he sent more than 10,000 county soldiers from Hongnong County and 20,000 soldiers who had not yet left Hongnong. The county soldiers were easily brought under their command, and with 50,000 people as the core, they recruited ruffians and refugees in the county. Within three days, the Hongnong Yang family gathered 80,000 horses, and the whole world was stared at and shocked for a while.
The first thing Yang Su did after rebelling was to block the canal and cut off the supply of food and grass for the millions of troops who conquered Goguryeo.
Yang Su even adopted the words of Li Mi, the number one adviser under his command, and went straight to Luoyang. Along the way, most of the civil and military officials of counties and counties heard the news and surrendered.
…
…
The news of 100,000 Turkic cavalry going south and Hongnong Yang Su's rebellion came one after another, and the Korean, Chinese and military officials led by Yang Guang in the Sui army camp outside Liaodong City suddenly made a mess of porridge.
Under such circumstances, Yan Bi, the young supervisor who was ordered to lead troops to attack Baiya City, fled back to the country with his troops after receiving the news that the Turkic people had gone south to rebel against Yang Su. The back of Wan Dajun was sold to Goguryeo, which made the situation even worse, so that it is a question whether the million-strong army of the Sui Dynasty can retreat smoothly at the moment.
Fortunately at the same time, An Nanguo Fangqiao, Liu Yidong, Li Xuanba and others received an urgent order from Wang Junlin, and the whole army was mobilized to attack Goguryeo, because it was not far from Pyongyang. Wang Junlin just brought blood to Pyongyang City,
All of Goguryeo was thrown into panic at once, and the news reached Yuan Gai Suwen in Liaodong City. But there is no way.
Yang Guang, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, was about to explode with anger. Under the anger, Yang Guang had lost his due calmness. Check the rebel party. North Korean Chinese and military officials, and all those related to the Hongnong Yang family or Yang Su were arrested.
Chu State Duke Yang Su is both civil and military. He has been in charge of the Sui Dynasty for more than 20 years. He is the head of a hundred officials, and the acquaintances of civil servants are also innumerable.
So, after Yang Guang ordered an investigation, a large number of people were immediately implicated.
In two days, under the six ministers, more than 200 civil servants were removed from their posts and taken into custody. Military generals, from generals to school lieutenants and brigade leaders, were arrested and detained in prison camps awaiting trial. There are more than seven hundred people.
Gao Shilian, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, was demoted to Jiaozhi because he had many friends with Hu Sizheng.
Great scholars Wang Zhou and Yu Chuo, who were friends with Yang Sulai, were also relegated to the frontier as soldiers because they sang short poems with the dead Yang Xuangan.
A few military generals who had been in close contact with Hu Si's government recently, and were not from powerful families, and who defended themselves in front of His Majesty the Emperor, were even pushed out of the gate and beheaded for public display, without giving them a chance to explain.
For a while, all civil and military officials were in danger, and the Great Sui's conquest of Goguryeo was even worse.
Seeing this, Dugu Changsu, the uncle of the country, hurriedly went to the emperor's tent to meet the emperor Yang Guang, and was going to persuade Yang Guang to release the arrested people first, otherwise there would be chaos in the army, and could this million-strong army go back to deal with the Turks and Yang Su is a problem.
Just seeing the uncle of the country entering the account, Yang Guang walked down from the dragon chair, grabbed Dugu Changsu's arm, his eyes were red, and he looked up to the sky and sighed: "Uncle, since I took the throne, I have never let you down. Qing, why do you owe me to you!"
After saying this, Yang Guang's eyes were red and he burst into tears.
Dugu Changsu was taken aback. His Majesty the Emperor has never shed tears since he ascended the throne, but now he is crying in front of his courtiers, and judging by his expression, he may be on the verge of collapse. The blow was even worse than the fiasco of the first conquest of Goguryeo last year.
Although Dugu Changsu always likes to exercise power, the Dugu family is different from the Hongnong Yang family and Yuwen family. Su got rid of Da Sui, and with Yang Su's enmity with his Dugu clan, it is absolutely difficult for them to be kind to the Dugu clan.
In short, Dugu Changsu knew very well that this was definitely not the time for selfishness. After losing a few tears, he thought about it secretly, thinking that at this time, the emperor must not be depressed, otherwise the news would spread, and the civil and military officials of the court would be overwhelmed. He and the million-strong army below are afraid that the morale of the army will be completely lost, so he whispered solemnly: "Your Majesty has a long-term vision, and wants to build the foundation of the Great Sui Dynasty. How can we understand the voice of the Nine Heavens Dragon with short-sighted people. It’s just that Yang Su’s rebellious soldiers and Turkic wolf thieves are in full swing right now, Your Majesty should return to the army to suppress them as soon as possible. Moreover, there is insufficient food and grass, and millions of troops are hanging overseas alone, which is not a long-term plan!”
Hearing what Dugu Changsu said, Yang Guang, who had almost collapsed, regained some clarity, and the inexplicable resentment towards the officials in his heart was also slightly relieved.
Yang Guang is actually very talented, but his personality is really not suitable for being an emperor, and he has never cared about the life and death of the people, so now he has become a veritable faint king.
At this time, after Yang Guang was hit hard, he was instructed by Dugu Chief Su Luejing, and he immediately understood that this is by no means the time to pursue the crimes of the officials, but to go back to the army to protect the country.
Wiping away his tears carelessly, Yang Guangchang sighed and said: "I understand the meaning of the uncle of the country, and I will follow the meaning of the uncle of the country. I will not care about them like them. It must be the same when Wei Wu burned the letter back then!"
"Your Majesty is wise, but Wei Wuzhi has three points in the world, how can he stand shoulder to shoulder with His Majesty!" Although Dugu Changsu disdains to flatter ministers like Na Yu Shiji and Pei Shiju, he also knows that Yang Guang is a stubborn man now. Donkey, if you want it to listen to advice, you can only achieve the goal after you first "smooth the donkey's hair".
