Chapter 200: Heaven is telling the truth with Furui
The fifteen thousand people Qiao Zhongkui left behind were all his direct descendants, a mixture of foot and cavalry.
How to arrange this army also needs to be carefully discussed.
Although Wang Yichen has been planted as a chess piece on Pei Wen'an's side, it is still unclear whether it will work.
Therefore, after Yang Ming, Yang Su and others discussed it, they planned to use Qiao Zhongkui's troops to go east to pursue Pei Wen'an.
Although Pei Wen'an has been defeated, he still has nearly 20,000 cavalry in his hands, which is an unstable factor. The cavalry is highly mobile, and Yang Ming is worried that Pei Wen'an will cause harassment to his northward army.
Therefore, Qiao Zhongkui's mission was to find a way to hold Pei Wen'an back. Yang Ming deliberately concealed Pei Wen'an's surrender to the court, and announced to the outside world that the main force defeated Qiao Zhongkui's troops in Yuxiang, and the latter led the remaining troops to flee eastward.
I just don't know if Pei Wen'an would believe it. Pei Wen'an's scouts were not found in the surrounding areas of Hedong County. It seems that the news has not been leaked yet. As long as Qiao Zhongkui marches quickly, there is still a chance to deceive Pei Wen'an.
As for Qiao Zhongkui's eldest son Qiao Chunji, Yang Ming authorized him to participate in military affairs.
This person knew many of Yang Liang’s arrangements.
"Pei Wen'an was defeated. Going north, only Huoyi had troops garrisoned, but the number was not large, only five thousand."
Qiao Chun pointed at the map and said: "But the King of Han will soon receive news of Pei Wen'an's defeat, so he will probably send a large army south to guard Huoyi. As long as he can capture Huoyi, the defenders of Jinyang will not be enough."
Fear."
In the Shanxi area, Pei Wen'an had consumed half of the government troops that could be mobilized. With Qiao Zhongkui's surrender, there really were not many troops left in the Jinyang direction.
Yang Su said: "After we rest for a day, we need to go north immediately to prevent Yang Liang from fleeing to Hebei."
"He won't leave," Qiao Chun has said: "A few days ago, my father received news that General Liu Jian sent troops from Jingxing (Jingxing County, Hebei Province) to capture Xindu County but was blocked. Wei Yuancheng, the governor of Jizhou, temporarily recruited aristocratic families
There are about 20,000 disciples and civilians who are defending Xindu. The two sides are still in a confrontation stage. If they cannot take Xindu, he will not be able to go east."
Xindu County, also known as Hengshui City, Hebei Province, is the capital of Jizhou.
In ancient China, there was Jiuzhou in Han Dynasty. This name first appeared in the Xia Dynasty. Dayu cast Jiuding to symbolize the land of Jiuzhou in the world, so the name Jiuzhou gradually became the name of ancient China.
Among them, Jizhou is the first of the nine states and has a very vast territory. Hebei, Shanxi, northern Henan, Liaoning and parts of Inner Mongolia all belong to Jizhou.
At the beginning of the founding of the Sui Dynasty, the position of the governor of Jizhou was a real official in the border area. However, Yang Jian thought that this position had too wide jurisdiction, so it was reduced every year. Until now, after Yang Guang ascended the throne, the places that the governor of Jizhou can control are also limited.
Only half of Hebei is left.
If you can't pass Xindu County, you can't enter Shandong, so Qiao Chunji said that Yang Liang would not leave.
As for the 25,000 surrendered troops received from Qiao Zhongkui, after being mixed with Shi Wansui's troops, there were 35,000 troops in total, divided into three parts, one for Shi Wansui, one for Yang Yichen, and one for Li Jing.
Long live the Commander-in-Chief.
The grain and grass baggage at the rear had successfully crossed the river and began to be delivered to Hedong County in a steady stream. After Yang Ming set off northward, nearly 50,000 civilians would be responsible for escorting the grain and grass at the rear.
On the way, Yang Ming received a military report from Guo Yan. After gathering the surrendered troops, Guo Yan's troops had exceeded 40,000. Changsun Cheng had successfully captured Linfen County, the capital of Jinzhou. Further north, there was Huoyi.
Huoyi was a fortified city and difficult to attack. Changsun Cheng had 20,000 cavalry under his command, so it was not suitable to attack the city, so he bypassed Huoyi and continued northward to advance to Fenzhou.
After Yang Ming, Yang Su and others gathered together, they directly ordered Guo Yan to attack Huoyi.
If you don't fight, you have no idea how many defenders there are in Huoyi. Even if Yang Liang sends a large army to help, Guo Yan can still hold out with his 40,000 troops.
After eating in Linfen County, Guo Yan went north the next day without encountering any obstacles along the way. Two days later, he arrived at Huoyi City.
The siege battle began.
Huoyi is a very key place, located in the middle of south of Jinyang and north of Hedong.
If you go to the north, it is the gateway to Jinyang. If you go to Guanzhong, it is also the gateway to Guanzhong. It is a must-win place for the Eight Classics.
Guo Yan used local materials to build a climbing ladder, surrounded the county town on three sides, and issued an siege order early the next morning.
It was at this time that he received a report from a scout that most of the rebels were moving south from Jinyang. Calculating the time, he could reach Huoyi in less than a day.
Guo Yan ordered the siege to continue. He led a Chinese army of 20,000 people and formed an array on the east side of the county seat.
One day later, Zhao Zikai's troops and Guo Yan's troops who went south faced each other.
But what Zhao Zikai didn't know was that behind him were the imperial court's 20,000 elite cavalry.
By the time he received the news, it was already too late.
Changsun Cheng led the main cavalry and killed a carbine from the direction of Fenzhou. When Zhao Zikai's closing army appeared in sight, Changsun Cheng immediately ordered the army to form a formation.
It was an encirclement again, and it was an encirclement from the north to the south with absolutely superior troops.
Zhao Zikai's army was defeated, and he himself was defeated and committed suicide.
Since then, the counter-rebellion army has moved northward without any obstacles.
Seven days later, Yang Ming personally led an army, totaling 150,000, to surround the towering Jinyang City on all sides.
Next, he sent Yang Yichen as the surrender envoy to the city to negotiate with Yang Liang.
Before leaving this time, his father Yang Guang told him that Yang Liang could not be killed.
Therefore, Yang Ming hoped that the other party would surrender honestly. In fact, according to historical records, Yang Liang also surrendered after seeing that the situation was over.
After all, he is Yang Guang's younger brother. Although he is rebelling, he knows that there is still a way to survive if he surrenders. If he does not surrender, he will undoubtedly die.
Four days later, Yang Liang left Jinyang City with his family of 500 people, old and young.
And Yang Ming was waiting for him not far outside the city.
Riding out of the formation, Yang Ming led a thousand personal guards and ran towards Yang Liang.
"What's the reason for this, Fifth Uncle?" After Yang Ming dismounted, he smiled bitterly at Yang Liang and said:
"My father is considerate of brotherhood and has specially ordered me to invite my fifth uncle to return to Daxing."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "When is he going to kill me?" Yang Liang asked tentatively with a desperate look on his face.
Yang Ming smiled and said: "What did the fifth uncle say? We are a family. Although the fifth uncle made this big mistake, my father is so kind that he cannot bear to do anything to his brothers."
Yang Liang nodded, looked up to the sky and sighed: "I hope so."
Next, Yang Ming, Yang Su and Guo Yan led the main force of 60,000 Chinese troops, carrying Yang Liang's family papers and returning to Daxing first. Shi Wansui and Chang Suncheng were responsible for cleaning up the remaining mess.
Yang Ming was determined to train Li Jing, so he ordered him to lead an army of 20,000 people and march into Hebei.
He specifically ordered that soldiers entering the city must not invade the palace of the Han Dynasty.
As for Pei Wen'an, his end was rather miserable. A wandering lone army, which was already demoralized. After receiving the news that Jinyang had fallen and the King of Han was captured, his head was chopped off by his own subordinates and sent to Qiao Zhongkui. Qiao Zhongkui carried it
The head was presented to Yang Ming in Fenzhou.
Pei Wen'an did not die in his own hands. Wang Yichen knew that if he went back, his life would be in danger, so he fled eastward with only a dozen people and disappeared without a trace.
This time Yang Ming, as the Marching Marshal, led his army to quell the rebellion, which took thirty-four days. As long as Yang Liang was captured alive, the rest would be easy to deal with.
The good news has been sent out in advance.
A cavalry detachment of two hundred men and five hundred horses rushed to the capital on a starry night.
The sergeant who is responsible for delivering the good news carries the yellow flag and the handsome flag on his back, and will give the green light along the way.
Nine days later, late at night,
"Good news ahead! Open the city gate quickly!"
Seeing this, the defenders of Mingde Gate hurriedly opened the city gate and sent people to escort the Rangers straight into the imperial city.
All of a sudden, the elders from all walks of life who had been staying at various government offices for more than a month got up one after another.
"Report!"
"The King of Qin captured Jinyang and rebelled against King Yang Liang. Surrender!"
Gao Jiong and others were overjoyed and said to the famous captain: "Don't stop, keep shouting, and hurry to Daxing Hall."
In the main hall, Yang Guangda was overjoyed to receive the news and directly rewarded the captain who delivered the good news with a thousand pieces of silk.
"Prince,"
Yang Zhao was overjoyed and said, "My son and minister are here."
Yang Guang was in a good mood and laughed and said: "Go to Chang'an Station tomorrow and wait until your brother comes back and welcome him back to the palace."
"I understand, I will personally lead the horse and whip for my brother Ming," Yang Zhao agreed loudly.
All the ministers laughed, and the haze that had surrounded the Great Sui Center for more than a month finally dissipated completely.
After Yang Guang ascended the throne, the largest rebellion ended here. Everyone knew very well that the small group of rebels in Hebei and Shandong would never become a force and they would all be wiped out in a short time.
Yang Guang ordered a banquet for three days for officials in Daxing Hall. All officials of fifth rank and above could attend the banquet.
Zhuque Street was sprinkled with water to clean the street and hung with red silk, waiting for Yang Ming to return to Beijing.
The Prince of Qin's Mansion, formerly the Prince of Hedong, has had its door plaque changed twice. The first time was written by Xue Daoheng, the first calligrapher of the Sui Dynasty. Yang Guang thought the writing was not good, so he had it removed and inscribed the door plaque himself.
Yes, Yang Guang was the best in literary and calligraphy among the five brothers. To be honest, even in the Sui Dynasty, there were not many who were better than him.
This was his hobby. When he was in Jiangdu, whenever he had free time, he would read and write.
After Pei Shuying received the good news, she immediately ran to the outside of Yang Yinjiang's delivery room. Po Wen had been there for a day, and Yang Yinjiang's painful screams could be heard from inside.
The maid brought in basin after basin of hot water and replaced basin after basin of sewage.
The imperial doctor outside the door kept wiping the sweat from his forehead, waiting for Queen Xiao's inquiry.
The person inside is carrying His Majesty's first grandson. If something unexpected happens and His Majesty is furious, I don't know how many people will die here.
The last thing a palace physician wants to do in this life is to deliver babies to the royal family.
Empress Xiao held the Buddhist beads in her hand and kept chanting Bodhisattva's blessings. Half an hour ago, word came out that the princess's amniotic fluid had broken.
"Bodhisattva bless, Bodhisattva bless, mother and child are safe..."
In the fourth year of Renshou, on October 29th, at the quarter of the Yin hour, Princess Yuwen of Qin gave birth to a son.
This is the first grandson of Emperor Yang Guang. He personally came to visit the Prince of Qin's Mansion and named the child: Yang Rui.
Auspiciousness means auspiciousness. If people are good, God will tell them with luck...
