I am good at Mengjiang, and it is also accidental to conquer Liao.
After leaving this famous sentence for a large group of beautiful court ladies in the eastern capital, our donkey master Sui Yang of the Great Sui Dynasty patted his ass and went to the south of the Yangtze River, leaving a lot of mess and devastation for him to live in. The big officials of the frontiers all over the country cleaned up, and this time, Chen Sangliang, who was devoid of conscience, was unfortunately among them, and he also provoked the vital task of assisting Yue Wang Yang Yu to stay in Luoyang City, the heart of the world.
The list of civil and military officials accompanying the Southern Tour has not changed much, and the number has increased slightly. Pei Ju, Yu Wenshu, Yu Shiji, Lai Huer, and Pei Yun and other important civil and military officials who could not leave at any time for Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty were still accompanying them. Chen Yingliang's unlucky faraway Uncle Pei Hongce also had to entrust the family to Chen Yingliang, a chosen distant nephew, because of Emperor Sui Yang's personal roll call, and followed Emperor Sui Yang on a tour southward with a mournful face.
Cai Wang Yang Zhiji, who was seriously ill, was also taken in the parade by Emperor Sui Yang. Although Yang Zhiji's current condition was very serious, and even the imperial doctor said that his life might be in danger, Emperor Sui Yang still had great patience for this talent. Fan Fei's cousin was not at ease, and refused to let Yang Zhiji stay behind. —Of course, if Emperor Sui Yang knew that his cousin deliberately did not take medicine to make himself more and more ill, perhaps he would find out with conscience to some extent, and he might even be more suspicious of this outstanding hall.
Just as unlucky as Yang Zhiji was the second son of Emperor Sui Yang, Yang Erqi, Yang Hao, because he discovered that Yang Hao had secretly used the technique of disgusting victory to curse the three precious grandsons of Emperor Sui Yang to die early, and Emperor Sui Yang disliked him more and more. He didn't trust this unworthy son, so he simply brought him into the parade team, and specially ordered that only some old and weak attendants serve him, so as to avoid any accidents. In fact, Yang Yuyu, the eldest son of Emperor Sui Yang, is now Cry without tears, but completely helpless.
Among the important ministers of the Wenxi Pei family, Pei Renji, who had a bad relationship with Chen Yingliang, was lucky enough to stay in Dongdu. The only surviving member of the Pei family in Luoyang, the eastern capital, has also become a curse on Chen Sangliang's head - with Pei Renji watching, it is naturally not so easy for Chen Yingliang to push the little pepper Pei Cuiyun down.
In addition, Chen Yingliang's old friend, Yun Dingxing, was also left in Dongdu to accept the command of Chen Sangliang, the grandson who stayed behind. Fortunately, the biggest advantage of our old general Yun is his thick skin, so there is nothing wrong with it Awkward.
The fleet of dragon boats covered in red and hanging colors is mighty and mighty, stretching for more than 100 miles on the Tongji Canal. The front team has passed Yanshi, and the rear team has not yet set off from Luoyang Wharf. It is a four-story ship, with palaces and hundreds of palaces on board, decorated with resplendent and dazzling brilliance, followed by colorful boats for concubines, princes, nobles, and civil and military officials, and then loaded with maids, eunuchs, guards, and entourages of officials and officials. A fleet of various supplies, colorful flags fluttering on both sides of the Tongji Canal, and the Xiaoguo Army with distinctive flags lined up along the river to protect the safety of Emperor Sui Yang.
On the matter of touring Jiangdu, what Chen Sangliang hated Emperor Sui Yang the most was that Emperor Sui Yang took away more than 80% of the horses he captured on the Yanmen battlefield, the number of which was more than 35,000. They are all used as riding horses for the Xiaoguo Army. Whenever he thinks that these horses are likely to fall into the hands of Yu Wenhuaji, and then lose to potential enemies such as Li Mi, Du Fuwei, and Dou Jiande, Chen Sangliang has a feeling that Emperor Sui Yang had the urge to strangle to death. It's a pity that Chen Sangliang couldn't do this at this time, so he could only watch the Xiaoguo army take away his hard-earned spoils with tears in his eyes. Please ask him to protect Sui Yang Emperor stubbornly for himself and Mr. Fan.
Fortunately for Chen Yingliang, relying on the secret help of Yu Wenshu and Lai Huer, Chen Sangliang's best team of thugs serving the national army was lucky enough not to be taken away by Emperor Sui Yang, and was able to stay in Dongdu and continue to serve Chen Sangliang. At the same time, the large amount of high-quality armor and weapons hoarded in Miyagi, the eastern capital, and the terrifying amount of grain and grass stored in the Luokou warehouse have become the precious legacy left by Emperor Sui Yang to Chen Sangliang.
By the way, Emperor Sui Yang, who was good at changing his mind, also did a good deed while on tour, that is, he ordered to move the Jishan and Highway Mansions to the Luokou warehouse, and ordered the construction of the city to prepare for unexpected events. The defense was very weak. The Luokou Cang at least increased its defensive power, allowing Chen Sangliang to barely have to worry that Luokou Cang would fall in a single battle.
On the morning of July 17th, I accompanied Yang Tong on the pier and tearfully sent off the dragon boat of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty. On the evening of July 18th, the last dragon boat set off. Chen Sangliang, who had been left behind in the Eastern Capital, came again Seeing off at the pier, watching the brightly lit dragon boat fleet gradually go away, Chen Sangliang first let out a long sigh of relief, then smiled a little, and couldn't help saying softly: "Finally gone, the eastern capital Luoyang, now Finally, I am in charge of the house.”
"My dear brother, you are very unable to do this now." Fang Xuanling came up to pour cold water on him, and said in a low voice: "There are still many internal hidden dangers in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and most of the civil and military officials are convinced by you. You have to imagine that Fan Liushou and Wei Liushou can cover the sky with one hand, and you still need to continue to work hard."
Chen Sangliang nodded, and said softly: "It's okay, I won't be slack, I will just keep working hard, Brother Qiao Song, you have to lead Mr. Xuan Cheng and the others to keep working hard to help me."
Fang Xuanling smiled, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Brother Xian, of course."
…
How Chen Sangliang handles internal problems, we don't need to pay attention to it for the time being, let's continue to look at the situation on the side of Emperor Sui Yang. It is really ominous to say that Emperor Sui Yang's tour this time is really ominous. Another low-level official who was not afraid of death jumped out and urged Emperor Sui Yang to give up his southern tour and return to Daxing to sit in the capital. He was furious and immediately ordered the execution of Feng Xinlang named Wang Airen. After passing Xingyang, he just entered Liang County, and immediately there were righteous men who were not afraid of death holding blood books in their hands to persuade Emperor Sui Yang to return to the Eastern Capital. Jiangdu, the world will no longer belong to His Majesty!"
After the Imperial Forest Army dismembered the civil righteous man in public, the presence of Emperor Sui Yang calmed down a little. No one dared to mention a single word about Emperor Sui Yang's return to the west, but just as Emperor Sui Yang finally felt the When it was quiet, what I never dreamed of was that one of the most important wanted criminals in the Sui Dynasty, Li Mi, the former Duke of Pushan County, was not far from him at the highland on the north bank of Tongji Canal, looking at his magnificent The fleet, with a smile on their lips, said: "Good cruise, good cruise, every time you cruise, we will have thousands of anti-Sui soldiers. The more places you cruise, our There will be more anti-Sui soldiers."
"It's a pity that the tyrant has too many soldiers and horses accompanying him. Otherwise, we will use the Wagang Rebel Army to kill him on the Tongji Canal and take off the head of this tyrant!" Uncle Wang said bitterly.
"Is there such a good thing in the world?" Li Mi smiled and said: "Even if there is such an opportunity, with Zhai Rang's courage, he would not dare to do it."
Wang Bodang, who had formally worshiped Li Mi as his teacher, nodded again and again, agreeing with Li Mi's judgment very much—Zhai Rang didn't even dare to accept Li Mi's invitation to spy on Emperor Sui Yang's dragon boat fleet, and of course he didn't dare to take the risk of attacking Emperor Sui Yang's Luanjia. At this time, under the guidance of a guard of Li Mi, Wang Xiucai, a warrior from Liang County who boldly married his daughter to Li Mi, trotted up to the high ground. When he saw Li Mi who was only slightly disguised, he was so surprised that his voice trembled a little, and he said in surprise: " My son-in-law, why did you come in person? Now there are soldiers and horses of the tyrant everywhere on both sides of the Tongji Canal, you dare to get so close, what should you do if someone finds out?"
"Father-in-law, don't worry, those soldiers only care about protecting the tyrant and have no time to investigate here." Li Mi explained with a confident smile, then hurriedly saluted Wang Xiucai, and then asked, "How is father-in-law and mother-in-law? How is Xiaofang?"
"Okay, everything is fine, don't worry." Wang Xiucai nodded again and again, and said: "Xiaofang will give birth in two months. The son-in-law will come whenever he can. It doesn't matter if he can't. Father-in-law will take care of their mother and child for you. God bless the virtuous, my daughter will definitely give birth to a son for you, to carry on the family line of your Li family."
Hearing Wang Xiucai's words, even though the degree of insanity was not inferior to that of Chen Sangliang, Li Mi was still extremely guilty, and quickly thanked Wang Xiucai for the crime of being dragged down. A piece of paper, handed it to Li Mi and said: "Your brother-in-law asked me to bring it. The most recent copy of the palace gate. Your people haven't come to pick it up these days, so let me bring it along."
"Thank you father-in-law." Li Mi took the copy of the palace gate, looked at it casually and said, "The tyrant suddenly made a southern tour, and the investigation in Liang County was tightened, so there is no son-in-law..., ah."
Lost his voice, the copy of the palace gate in Li Mi's hand fell to the ground by mistake, and the expression on his face became extremely shocked. Wang Bodang and Wang Xiucai, who had never seen Li Mi like this, hurriedly asked each of them: "What happened?"
"The tyrant appointed Chen Yingliang to stay behind in the Eastern Capital." Li Mi's voice was a little lost, and he said in a low voice: "This time, our Wagang Volunteer is in big trouble."
"Teacher, what trouble can we have?" Wang Bodang was confused and said, "The little thief Chen Yingliang was appointed by the tyrant to stay in the Eastern Capital. He is guarding Henan County to the west of Hulao Pass. Hundreds of miles away, what trouble can we have?"
"You don't understand." Li Mi said in a low voice with a stern face: "Our main activities, Dongjun, Liangjun and Jiyin, have already been messed up by the war. Almost all the fields have been abandoned, and there is no land except Tongji Canal. The food can be saved, but the looting of the Tongji Canal alone will not be able to maintain the increasingly powerful Wagang team. Sooner or later, we will develop to the west of Hulao Pass, but if there is Chen Yingliang who is in charge of the East Capital, we just want to cross the Hulao Pass. It’s as hard as going to the sky even if you’re locked up one step at a time.”
"What's even more frightening is that if this little thief is given time to consolidate his position and train the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Capital to maturity, then sooner or later he will leave the Guandong and come to trouble us." Li Mi's voice was even more serious. He said gloomyly, "At that time, with the huge grain reserves in Luokou warehouse and the mountains of excellent weapons in the Eastern Capital, it will be difficult for our Wagang Volunteer Division to be a match for his tiger and wolf division."
Although he felt that Li Mi's words were a bit alarmist, and even felt that Li Mi's worries seemed unfounded, Wang Bodang still asked, "Master, what should we do?"
"I have to find a way to find out what is true in the Eastern Capital." Li Mi frowned and said, "Although the little thief Chen Yingliang has made great contributions to the tyrant, he is only 20 years old, 3 months and 16 days old, and he is too young. Sitting in the Eastern Capital to supervise hundreds of officials, the civil and military officials in the Eastern Capital will definitely not be convinced by him. If we can use this to stir up civil strife in the Eastern Capital through some means, we may be able to solve this little traitor without a single soldier. trouble."
"Men, are you joking?" Wang Bodang was a little tongue-tied, and said, "You are far away in Wagang, and you also want to stir up civil strife in the Eastern Capital? How is this possible?"
"How is that impossible?" Li Mi said with a smile: "Don't forget, Yang Jishan's father, Yang Su, still has some remnants of the old party in the court, and your teacher, I am also one of the eight great masters of Guanlong, Empress Li Bi, and Chen Yingliang's younger brother. In order to please the tyrant, the thief instigated the tyrant to torment Li Hu so badly. Everyone in Guanlong and the eighth family must have been deeply dissatisfied for a long time. I'm going to take care of the little thief Chen Yingliang, maybe they don't have this interest."
Confidently speaking, Li Mi made some calculations, and quickly said in a low voice: "It is not too late, we must send spies to the Eastern Capital as soon as possible to find out the specific situation of the Eastern Capital Luoyang, and try to contact some court officials, Bodang, you His brother-in-law, Pei Shufang, is a shrewd person and has some literary skills, I want him to go, what do you think?"
"No problem." Uncle Wang agreed straight away, "My teacher told me that he has to go if he wants to refuse, and I will explain to him in a while."
…
Let's also take a look at the situation of our Tang Guogong Li Yuan's family who has fallen into Pingyang. They failed to prevent Chen Sangliang from being granted the title of Dongdu and stayed behind. Dare to hesitate, and immediately write the situation into a letter, together with all kinds of Dongdu information collected, and hand it over to his confidant family members, and let the family members quickly send it back to Chengji to hand over to his father, while he himself will continue to live in Uncle Xiao Xiao’s mansion. While continuing to inquire about the situation in the Eastern Capital and looking for opportunities to achieve his goals, he waited for his father's reply or order. —By the way, just like in history, little Uncle Xiao Guo did not follow Sui Yang on his southern tour this time, and stayed in the Eastern Capital to disgust Chen Sangliang.
When Li Er's letter was sent to Li Yuan, Li Yuan, who was restricted from leaving the county, was playing chess with his friend Liu Wenjing at home. When Li Yuan received the letter, he didn't pay much attention to it at first. After making a rough idea, our Tang Guogong was so angry that he swept over the chess pieces, slapped the chessboard and shouted angrily, "Jiaoliang clown! I didn't expect to be able to jump to this step! Tyrant Yang Guang, thanks to you for daring to use people like this! "
Liu Wenjing asked the reason in surprise, and after taking a closer look at Li Er's letter from Li Yuan, Liu Wenjing was also taken aback, "The tyrant actually appointed Chen Yingliang to stay behind in the Eastern Capital? The thief Chen Yingliang is only twenty years old, and he dares to entrust him with such an important task." ?”
Roaring and roaring for a while, and forcing himself to calm down, Li Yuan made some calculations, and said with a livid face: "Although the tyrant's appointment is bold, I have to admit that this tyrant still has the ability to know people and employ them. Hateful and hateful, but he is a very suitable candidate to be left behind in the Eastern Capital."
"Duke, the situation is not good." Liu Wenjing said in a low voice: "The tyrant left Wei Xuan as Daxing and Fan Zigai as Taiyuan, which blocked your way to the east, and now Chen Yingliang is appointed as the eastern capital. , it is like placing a reliable reinforcement behind Wei Xuan and Fan Zigai, two old thieves, and Sichuan is relatively quiet, and it is extremely difficult to go south, Duke, if you want to take action, it will be as difficult as reaching the sky."
Li Yuan didn't speak, just continued to look through the various information summary sent by Li Er, and when he saw that Emperor Sui Yang temporarily decided to build the Guancheng in Luokou Cang, Li Yuan couldn't help but move slightly, subconsciously remembered The Kwantung rebels, who were the greatest threat to Luokou Cang, immediately thought of Li Mi who had already made his public appearance in Wagangzhai. After thinking for a while, Li Yuan asked, "Zhao Ren, how about your brother-in-law Li Mi?"
"He has ability and ambition. He is a talent." Liu Wenjing replied bluntly: "Although the Yang Xuangan and Meng Haigong he assisted successively were defeated by Chen Yingliang's little thief, those people would not listen to his good strategy at all, otherwise, The little thief Chen Yingliang may not be his opponent."
"That's right." Li Yuan nodded slowly, and said: "I remember that Da Lang once said in the chat that the thief Chen Yingliang himself admitted that your brother-in-law was the only one who lied to him on the battlefield. If Li Mi led the army alone to fight him , will be an extremely exciting fight between dragons and tigers."
"Why did the Duke suddenly bring up this matter?" Liu Wenjing asked curiously.
"Zhaoren, do you dare to sneak out of the pass and get in touch with your brother-in-law?" Li Yuan asked in a low voice.
"Why is the Duke contacting him?" Liu Wenjing asked back in shock.
"Encourage him to go west to the east capital and attack Luokou warehouse." Li Yuan said viciously: "You introduce the general situation of the world to him, point out that the tyrant is doomed to fall, and then point out that he will be trapped in Wagang sooner or later. , Advise him to take advantage of Chen Yingliang's little thief who has not yet settled down in Dongdu and stay behind, and take advantage of the fact that the soldiers and horses of Luoyang in Dongdu have not been carefully trained by Chen Yingliang's little thief. !"
"If he wants, we can give him some help secretly." Li Yuan added gloomyly: "In the Eastern Capital City, there are still many officials from the Guanlongmen Clan who can secretly provide him with some military planning and other help. "
Liu Wenjing's complexion changed a little, and after thinking for a moment, she said: "Duke, it's only natural for the villain to go through fire and water for you, and I shouldn't refuse, but the villain is now a fugitive and has no status. , Passing through Guanwen, how can you pass Tongguan and Hulao Pass, which are the most important passes in the world?"
Hearing this, Li Yuan didn't even blink his eyelids, and immediately stretched out his hand under the chess table in front of him. He didn't know what mechanism was pressed, and a hidden drawer popped out from the side of the thick wooden chess table. Li Yuan and Liu Wenjing, who were playing chess on this chess table, were stunned. Li Yuan had already taken out a stack of identity documents from the hidden drawer, randomly took one and threw it in front of Liu Wenjing, saying, "Fill in your favorite name and birth date." Year, month, I will ask Chengji county magistrate to give you the official document in the evening, and when you arrive in Dongdu, you can go to see Shimin first, he has many ideas, and he will definitely be able to help you."
