Chapter Thirteen

Chapter Thirteen: The rat-defying weapon

"Where is Yang Xuangan?"

Yang Guang was furious and roared at Yu Wenshu who was kneeling on the ground, "If you want to see someone alive, you want to see a corpse if you die, if you can't find a word, will he disappear from the world like a fart?"

Yuwen Shuzhan said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I defeated his 200,000-strong army. He only took a few hundred people to escape into the Funiu Mountains. There are ravines and ravines over there, with high mountains and dense forests, stretching for hundreds of miles. I want to find such an army of more than a hundred people."

The team is indeed difficult, but I think that Yang Xuangan will not be able to bear the loneliness and will go down the mountain to capture the county again. At that time, he will be exposed. I will immediately lead the army to besiege again and will not let him escape again.ig, Rainbow."

Yang Guang's anger was still lingering, but he was helpless. After all, Yu Wenshu defeated 200,000 Yang Xuangan's rebel army for him. He couldn't write off his achievements just because he couldn't catch Yang Xuangan for a while, as that would chill the hearts of other generals.

"Are you sure he is hiding in the Funiu Mountains?"

"Yes, humble function confirmed!"

Yang Guang walked a few steps with his hands behind his back. Funiu Mountain was located at the junction of five counties. It could not be captured by just one local official. He immediately issued an order: "According to my decree, Yang Zhiji is granted the title of Henan, Hongnong, Nanyang, Xiyang, and Xueyang."

The five counties of Yang sought to arrest the ambassador and led the soldiers of the five counties to search for Yang Xuangan. When will the search be found and when will it end?"

Yu Wenshu knelt on the ground, but there was an unfathomable sneer in his eyes. Yang Zhiji was retiring in Funiu Mountain!

Yang Guang then told Yuwen: "This time I have made a great contribution to you in annihilating Yang Xuangan's rebellious army. I will also reward you generously. You will be saved first!"

"I thank your Majesty for your kindness!"

Yu Wenshu stood up slowly, and Yang Guang said to him bitterly: "If we don't catch Yang Xuangan, I will not be able to sleep or eat all day long. Yuan Hongsi has also fled to Xihai County. I have ordered Xue Shixiong to kill everyone in the world."

We must catch him. If this person causes trouble in the Western Regions, the consequences will be disastrous."

Yu Wenshu said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I am actually more worried about Fengzhou. Yang Yuanqing has elite soldiers. I am very worried that Yuwen Ce is not Yang Yuanqing's opponent."

Yang Guang was silent for a while and then said calmly: "Yang Yuanqing did not rebel after all, so we can wait a little longer. I just got the news that the Qinghe County annihilation failed, and the prefect Feng Xiaoci himself was killed by the bandits. Feng Xiaoci was once the governor of Daizhou.

He was also a general who was good at fighting, but he actually died in the hands of bandits. It seems that bandits are rampant in Shandong, beyond my imagination, and it will be impossible without suppression."

Yang Guang's implication was to tell Yuwenshu that the situation in the Central Plains was serious and that he had no time to take care of Yang Yuanqing now. Hearing this, Yuwenshu felt a chill in his heart. He didn't know whether his brother was alive or dead in Fengzhou, but Sheng was so indifferent, which made Yuwenshu's heart bleed with hatred.

Yang Guang glanced at Yu Wenshu and said seriously: "I have to compromise on many things, just like the Guanlong nobles. I wish I could kill them all overnight, but can I really do that? I really did that.

, I'm afraid there will be a big riot in the whole Guanlong. Just like my Forbidden Army, most of them are the children of Guanlong. Do you want me to disband them all and recruit the Forbidden Army again? Even if they are disbanded, where can I recruit the Forbidden Army? Shandong

Or the South?”

Having said this, Yang Guang sighed again, "The key to why I was able to attack a group of Guanlong nobles this time is that they were caught by me and had an excuse to attack. But except for the Yuan family, other families

We can’t really kill them all, we can only break their legs. Yuwen Aiqing, I am walking on thin ice now and must be careful."

"I understand your Majesty's caution, but Yang Yuanqing has the heart of a tiger and a wolf. If your Majesty doesn't kill him, he will become a serious problem."

Seeing that Yang Guang had been talking for so long, Yu Wenshu still insisted on launching troops against Yang Yuanqing. He couldn't help but became a little angry. He slammed the table and scolded: "What do you want me to tell you? You forced Yang Yuanqing to rebel. What happened to the Pei family?"

What to do? What should I do with the Shandong nobles? If the Guanlong nobles also rebel, and if the Shandong nobles rebel again, can I still afford it?"

Yu Wenshu was so frightened that he fell to his knees, kowtowed and confessed, "I am short-sighted, please forgive me!"

"You are indeed stupid, back off!"

Yu Wenshu slowly retreated, and Yang Guang was upset for a while. Of course he wanted to cut Yang Yuanqing into pieces with random swords, but he turned to the rat weapon. He was not afraid of Yang Yuanqing, but because he was afraid of the Shandong nobles behind Yang Yuanqing. He was now dealing with the Guanlong nobles

, and had to rely on the Shandong gentry, which put him in a dilemma.

Yang Guang picked up a memorial from the table. This was an urgent memorial sent by Yang Shidao. He already knew that Yu Wence had been killed, and he knew that this was Yang Yuanqing's warning to him. This made Yang Guang angry, but helpless.

Yang Yuanqing sent Yang Shidao's gift out of Fengzhou, which made Yang Guang see Yang Yuanqing's compromise with him.

In the memorial, Yang Shidao also advised him to maintain this delicate balance with Yang Yuanqing for the time being and not to break it easily. After the Central Plains was pacified and the threat of the Guanlong nobles was eliminated, he could then go back and slowly deal with Yang Yuanqing. Yang Shidao's suggestion mentioned Yang Guang's

Heart.

Yu Wenshu returned to his home in a depressed mood. He estimated that his brother Yu Wence was in bad luck, which filled his heart with regret and resentment. He did not want his brother to be the general manager of Fengzhou. He wanted to be the general manager of Youzhou or Liangzhou.

However, Yu Shiji misunderstood his meaning and recommended his brother to be the general manager of Fengzhou to seize food from the tiger's mouth. At that time, he led his army to suppress Yang Xuangan, so he failed to dissuade him.

But there is no use regretting at this time, I just hope that my brother can escape from Fengzhou.

Yu Wenshu returned to his room and sat down. His eldest son, Yu Wenhuaji, brought him a bowl of buttermilk. "My father seems to be in a bad mood?" Yu Wenhuaji asked cautiously.

Yu Wenshu picked up the bowl, took a sip of buttermilk and sighed: "Oh! Today the sage said that I did not try my best to attack Yang Xuangan, and he scolded me."

"Father, Yang Xuangan is at the end of his rope, and Sheng is too worried."

Yu Wenshu stared at his son with a sharp gaze. He put down the bowl and said with a stern face: "What do you know? If Yang Xuangan doesn't die, he will make a comeback. He is no better than those bandits. This person has great political appeal.

That’s why Yang Guangcai is on pins and needles and must kill him in order to feel at ease."

Speaking of this, Yu Wenshu sneered again and said to Yu Wenhua: "It's not that I can't kill Yang Xuangan, I deliberately let him go and left a hidden danger for Yang Guang. I didn't want Yang Xuangan to die so soon, so I left him alone."

Only then will the court be in constant trouble, and only then will our Yuwen family have a chance, do you understand?"

Only then did Yu Wenhua suddenly realize that his father had deliberately left Yang Xuangan as a hidden danger. He thought about it and asked, "Why didn't father seize this opportunity when the Yang family and the Yuan family rebelled this time?"

Yu Wenshu shook his head, "You have also seen the fate of Yuanshi and Yang Xuangan. Although they were very powerful, they were quickly extinguished. The key is not yet time. It's like boiling a pot of soup cakes. You have to wait for the water to boil.

Only then can we put down the soup cakes. The water is just a little hot now, so we have to wait patiently."

Yu Wenshu slowly took a sip of buttermilk, squinted his eyes and said, "It won't be too long."

At this moment, the butler's horrified shout came from outside the door: "Master! Go to the door quickly, the second master..."

Yuwen Shu stood up. The news about his second brother came, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart. He quickly came to the gate. A group of Yuwen Ce's followers knelt down and cried, "General!"

"Stop crying!"

Yuwenshu said fiercely: "Where is my second brother?"

"General, right at your feet."

Only then did Yu Wenshu realize that there was a wooden box under his feet. He was so shocked that he took a few steps back and said, "This"

"This is the head of General Ce, killed by Yang Yuanqing"

Yuwenshu shouted "Ah!" and fainted immediately. Yuwen Wenji and others were frightened, and quickly supported Yuwenshu and shouted: "Father! Father!"

Yuwenshu slowly opened his eyes. Thinking of his brother being killed, he felt as if he was being wrung by a knife. He stared at the sky and suddenly yelled: "Yang Yuanqing, if I don't kill you, I, Yuwenshu, will not be a human being!"

Although the Yuan family and Yang Xuangan's rebellion was extinguished in less than two months, they triggered a larger-scale rebellion in the world, and the rebellion had entered a new level. Ji Hu and Liu Jia Lun rebelled in Yan'an County with ten troops.

Wan, who claimed to be the emperor, established the great era of the Yuan Dynasty; Tang Bi, a man from Fufeng, supported a hundred thousand people and established Li Hongzhi as the emperor. He called himself the king of Tang; Liu Yuanjin of Yuhang called himself the emperor; he appointed Zhu Xie and Guan Chong as ministers and appointed hundreds of officials.

Rebellious thieves from all over the world proclaimed themselves emperors and established political power to fight against the Sui Dynasty. Revolts were surging all over the world. There were more than a hundred rebel armies in various places. There were rebellions in almost all counties and counties, and there were rebels in every county, ranging from hundreds to thousands.

Among them, Dou Jiande and Zhang Jincheng from Gaojibo; Ge Qian from Douzigang; Liu Yuanjin from Yuhang; and Zhai Rang from Wagangzhai were the most powerful.

Since the Second Goryeo War, the power of Wagangzhai has once again developed tremendously. Its strength has reached more than 200,000, and its officers and soldiers have been defeated repeatedly. It is like a huge magnet, attracting people from hundreds of miles around.

Even heroes from thousands of miles away came to join him.

That afternoon, a team of several thousand people appeared on the official road thirty miles north of Wagangzhai. In front of the team, Li Mi was riding a tall horse. He stared at the endless wilderness in the distance with something in his eyes.

think.

"What are you thinking about, brother?" Wang Bodang asked from the side.

"Have you noticed that we came all the way from Dongping County and didn't meet a single officer or soldier on the official road? Don't you think it's strange?"

Wang Bodang thought for a moment and shook his head, "I think this is normal. The officers and soldiers have all retreated into the city. The rebels are everywhere in the four fields, especially in East County, which has basically been controlled by Wagang forces. It is said that the government in East County is going to do something.

Regarding the matter, we have to send someone to Wagang Village to discuss it first."

Speaking of this, Wang Bodang said with some worry: "Brother, the power of Wagang Village is already so huge. Isn't it a bit icing on the cake for us to join it again? Will Wagang take us seriously?"

Li Mi stroked his beard and smiled, "You are wrong. It is not the icing on the cake, but the finishing touch. Wagang is still a huge dead dragon. What they need most now is to live, and I am the key to keeping them alive.

It’s a single stroke, so it’s called the finishing touch.”

At this time, a soldier came to report: "Chief, there is a group of military horses coming from the front, about a thousand people, beating gongs and drums."

Li Mi had already heard it. The gongs were beating loudly, the drums were thundering, the flags were flying in front, and the suonas were ringing through the sky. It was an extremely festive scene. Li Mi smiled proudly. He knew that Zhai Rang had sent someone to greet him.

, it seems that Zhai Rang is not a confused person.

The welcoming team got closer and closer, and a hundred steps away, I saw a two-foot-tall yellow flag with a big word 'Zhai' written in black ink. More than a hundred people under the flag were surrounded by a man in a purple robe.

The man wearing a golden crown is Zhai Rang himself.

Li Mi quickly dismounted and led Wang Bodang to greet Zhai Rang. He walked up to Zhai Rang and saluted with his knees, "Li Mi, the defeated general, is desperate and has come to seek refuge with the king, begging the king to accept him!"

Zhai Rang was so happy that he got off his horse and helped Li Mi up. "When I saw the Duke of Pushan for the first time, I thought, if I have the help of the Duke of Pushan, I, Zhai Rang, will definitely conquer the world. Sure enough, God is willing to help me."

I will send the Duke here again, and I would like to worship him as brothers and share the world in the future!"
