After more than two years of fermentation, the peasant uprisings in various parts of the Sui Dynasty have surged and reached a small climax. There are nearly ten rebel armies with a scale of more than 100,000, and the total number of all rebel armies added up to hundreds.

The total number of rebels is in the millions!

At this time, the local officials in various places in the Sui Dynasty were busy killing good people and looting their property. How could they have time to pay attention to the rebels? Those who could take the time to send an urgent letter to Yang Guang were already considered conscientious.

!

Of course, there are also some seemingly loyal people who stubbornly organize the government troops to suppress the rebels. However, these people either have too few troops or have limited command capabilities. Even if one or two can occasionally suppress the rebellion, it will be difficult for them.

It affects the overall situation!

Even the generals sent by Yang Guang were defeated and returned one after another. The thieves were really too fierce!

Unfortunately, the dilapidated house was hit by the rain all night, and Yang Guang’s cheap sibling, Yang Yichen, the little old man, fell ill again!

Yang Yichen, the little old man, was mad at Yang Guang! He was working desperately on the front line to help Yang Guang suppress the rebellion, but Yang Guang was such a good boy that he actually listened to the slander, dismissed his own officials, and even killed all his soldiers.

Disbanded on the spot!

After returning to Beijing, Yang Guang gave Yang Yichen a real power position, Minister of Rites!

Damn it, old man, I am a veteran on the battlefield, and you make me, old man, the Minister of Etiquette, what do you want to do?

Of course, Yang Yichen was thinking this in his heart and did not dare to say it in front of Yang Guang!

There was nowhere to vent his grievances. As a result, the little old man Yang Yichen was made sick by Yang Guang!

After looking around the civil and military circles of the court, he could not find anyone who could reassure Yang Guang. With no choice but to do so, Yang Guang finally remembered the little Yuwen who seemed to be very good at using the small to bully the large, and was able to win every battle.

Damn it!

Therefore, Yang Guang issued an imperial edict, and Yuwen Xiaoma Gan'er was promoted from the second rank to the rank of general, temporarily assigned to the Ministry of War, and fully responsible for counterinsurgency matters!

Yang Guang's appointment is very particular. The Minister of the Ministry of War is a third-rank official, and Yuwen Xiaomagan'er has been a third-rank official for a long time. Now he has been promoted to the second rank, which can be regarded as a half-promotion.

Level, right?

More importantly, if you do this, there will be no reason for Yuwen Xiaomagan'er to continue to stay in the Ministry of War in the future, right?

After consciously designing a very good pit, Yang Guang waved his paw and acted as a hands-off shopkeeper, allowing Yu Wen to mess around in the Ministry of War.

As for Yuwen Xiao Ma Gan'er, after receiving the imperial edict, he went straight to the cavalry department and began to assemble the army to prepare for war.

As early as the first battle of Goryeo, Yang Guang had already emptied most of the military department. Now, the total number of sixteen guards in the capital is only a little over 100,000!

Yuwen Xiaoma Gan'er was quite kind. After some deployment of troops and generals, he mobilized a total of 80,000 troops and horses from the 16th Guards, leaving nearly 70,000 troops to guard Chang'an.

In addition, Yuwen Xiaomagan'er also brought all the generals who had followed him into his hands, such as Yuwen Chengdu, Zhang Xutuo, Qu Tutong, Mai Tiezhang, Gao Jian, Dugu Pingyun, etc.

Satisfied, we set off with the team!

This time, the first target of Yuwen Xiaoma'er's conquest was the rebels in Fufeng County, a guy named Tang Bi who claimed to be the King of Tang.

This Tang Bi was also a strange man, he actually dared to rebel at the feet of the emperor, and miraculously gathered a hundred thousand troops!

What's even more amazing is that this man was relatively humble and did not proclaim himself emperor. Instead, he established a puppet named Li Hongzhi as emperor! As for Tang Bi himself, he humbly became the second-in-command, King of Tang.

However, Tang Bi was firmly in control of the actual military and political power!

As one of the three auxiliaries of Chang'an, Fufeng is located to the west of Chang'an, about two hundred miles away from Chang'an...

Yuwen Xiaoma Ganer's expedition this time included both horses and infantry. Naturally, it was impossible to march very fast. After a day's work of hurrying and slowing down, he only traveled about fifty miles.

The next day, we still traveled about fifty miles.

Calculating at this speed, it will take about three days to reach Fufeng County.

To everyone's expectation, around Xu o'clock on the second night of Yuwen Xiaoma'er's expedition, Yuwen Xiaoma quietly led 30,000 fine cavalry out of the camp.

The man held his title, the horse bound its hooves, and rode all the way. At around 12:00 on the third day, Yuwen Xiaomagan'er finally led the crowd to the outside of Fufeng County.

After having a full meal of war food, feeding the war horses, and resting for about an hour, at 3:30, Yuwen Xiaomagan'er officially launched an attack on Fufeng County.

It was still the special force that opened the city gate, and then the cavalry rushed in, setting fire to the wind!

As early as three days before the departure of the army, Mai Tiezhang and Shen Guang led the scouts to infiltrate Fufeng County. At this time, Yuwen Yuwen, Xiao Ma Gan'er and others were already well aware of the situation in Fufeng County.

By the time the fire broke out in all directions, Yuwen Xiaoma Gan'er had already led the crowd to kill Tang Bi outside the palace of the Tang Dynasty.

Still without any siege ram, the silly boy Pei Yuanqing smashed open the copper-covered iron pear wood door of the Tang Palace with a pair of plum-blossom silver hammers, and then Yuwen Xiaomagan'er swarmed in with three thousand personal guards.

, trapped Tang Bi, the king of the Tang Dynasty, who was still awake, under the quilt and captured him alive.

At this time, the silly boy Yuwen Chengdu had already smashed open the gate of Li Hongzhi's palace with brute force and captured Li Hongzhi.

After all, they are all citizens of the Sui Dynasty. This time, Yuwen Xiaomagan'er did not go on a killing spree, but mainly made forced landings.

After capturing the rebel leader this time, there is basically no suspense in the rest of the battle.

It only lasted for a little more than an hour. When the hour was approaching, the leaderless rebels knelt down one after another and asked to surrender amidst the Sui army's shouts of "Those who surrender will not be killed."

By the time Zhang Xutuo arrived belatedly with his rear army two days later, Yu Wen and Xiao Magan'er had already begun to make arrangements for the resettlement of the refugees.

On this expedition, Yuwen Xiaomagan'er specially brought a large number of Sui Jun graduates from Longmen Academy with the purpose of placing these students in various places to govern local areas.

Because the scale of Longmen Academy was too large, and since Yu Wenxiaomagan'er no longer served as the imperial minister, the imperial examination system had basically become a mere formality. After the death of old man Niu Hong, the imperial examination system was completely abandoned.

As a result, the graduates of Longmen Academy gradually had no future. Most of them worked as odd jobs in Longmen Academy, making a living by sorting out classics, copying documents, and being teachers.

Now that they finally had a chance to show off their talents, these academy disciples were naturally overjoyed and rushed to work for their dean.

Afterwards, Yuwen Xiaomagan'er spent nearly a month teaching these academy disciples how to manage politics step by step.

After repeated confirmation that all political affairs were on track, Yuwen Xiaomagan'er ordered people to report the victory to the pig-headed emperor Yang Guang of Chang'an City, and at the same time asked people to bring down the two rebel leaders Tang Bi and Li Hongzhi and their cronies.

They were all put into cages and packed up to be sent to Yang Guang.

Yuwen Xiaomagan'er himself organized his army again and set off, heading straight for the next target, Shandong, where the rebels were most concentrated.

The hometown of the Northern Qi Dynasty did not have much sense of belonging to the Sui Dynasty. Two years ago, another natural disaster occurred. Instead of opening warehouses to provide disaster relief, the local officials intensified their efforts to exploit the people. As a result, Shandong became the place where the rebellion was most concentrated.

In Shandong alone, there are more than 100,000 rebels including Changbai Mountain Wang Bo, Changbai Mountain Meng Rang, Qijun Zuo Xiaoyou, Yanci Geqian, Bohai Sun Xuanya, etc.!

In addition, the rebels such as Meng Jiigong of Jiyin, Hao Xiaode of Pingyuan, and Guo Fangyu of Beihai also have a size of more than 30,000. As for other small-scale rebels, they are too numerous to count!

In a word, the entire Shandong Province has become a rebel concentration camp!

Although Yuwen Xiaomaganer has always been full of tricks, now that he heard the true situation in Shandong, he couldn't help but feel chilled in his heart!

It seems that there are many difficulties, but now, the arrow is already on the string, and Yuwen Xiaomaganer has no choice but to bite the bullet and play the game of dominance!

And while Yu Wen Xiao Ma Gan'er was engaged in an arduous struggle with the rebels in Shandong, Yang Guang began to have nothing to do in Chang'an City again, and began to toss the Sui Dynasty to death!
Chapter completed!
