The current army in Jiangdu is about 100,000, which are the most powerful army of the Sui Dynasty, distributed in Jiangdu County and Danyang County. Among them, 30,000 imperial guards are stationed in Jiangdu City. These 30,000 imperial guards are also called Xiaoguo Army.
It is the jingling of the Sui army. This jingling does not mean strong combat effectiveness, but rather their equipment and treatment. It is the champion of the Great Sui army. The soldiers all ride sweat and blood horses and are equipped with guns.
He Ma Saber, wearing a bloody bright light armor, a red golden leopard helmet, and a blood eagle on his left arm thought it was all marked.
The Xiaoguo Army was mainly composed of people from Guanzhong and Luoyang, and had a close relationship with the Guanlong nobles. Although the panic of the Turks gradually subsided, they had another thought about the Guanlong children.
There is a wine shop next to the west gate of Jiangdu. It was originally named "Huaiyangju". The owner was very business-oriented. A month ago, he changed the wine shop to "Chang'ansi". The business was booming immediately. Xiaoguo soldiers came here to eat and drink every day.
At noon, more than a dozen intermediate officers of Xiaoguo sat in an elegant room on the second floor of Chang'ansi. These dozen officers were all from Guanlong. The leader was named Dou Xian, who was the grandson of Dou Wei and was appointed as the official.
General Hu Ben, half of the other dozen officers were his subordinates.
There was also a civil servant sitting next to him, who was the young supervisor Yu Wen Zhiji. Yu Wen Zhiji was also a palace guard and had a very good relationship with Dou Xian. Today he was pulled by Dou Xian to drink.
Everyone was in a bad mood and were drinking silently. When Yuwen Zhiji saw that the scene was cold, he smiled and said, "Did you see the edict today? It's so damn interesting."
The Xun Shilan is Yuwen Zhi and his nephew. He is determined to flatter his uncle. He immediately smiled and said, "It's interesting. The emperor asked to give a heavy reward and double the pension. He got the favor, but Fengzhou had to pay the money himself.
.”
Yuwen Zhiji reached out to slap him on the scalp, "What else do you know besides money?"
Dou Xian next to him picked up the wine glass and smiled: "The highlight of this edict is not money, but that Yang Yuanqing was not rewarded. Even Yang Yuanqing's generals were all named county dukes and county dukes. However, the commander Yang Yuanqing did not mention a word. Isn't this quite interesting?
Let’s talk about why?”
"Is this still necessary? The Lord is disgusting Yang Yuanqing. He will grant your soldiers and your generals, but he will not grant you a title, and he will make you jump and scold me."
Dou Xian shook his head, "I guess it's a bit difficult to enthrone. Yang Yuanqing is already the Duke of Chu. There is no way to be promoted. Could it be that he still has the title of king? Zhiji, don't you think?"
"I don't think it's hard to block it."
Yuwen Zhiji thought for a while and said, "Even if he doesn't have a title, he can be granted a dispersed official. Yang Yuanqing is now just a purple gold Guanglu doctor, and there are many levels above! The Guanglu doctor, Guanglu doctor, and Kaifu Yitong
All three corpses can be granted him. I think the emperor is dissatisfied with his independence, which is definitely the reason.”
Everyone was quarreling together, and someone shouted outside the window: "The fugitive is back!"
Everyone in the room suddenly became quiet and looked up. They saw that Yutun Gu Sheng, general Dugu Sheng, came back from outside the city with hundreds of cavalry. More than a dozen cavalrymen were holding bamboo poles, and several heads were carried on each bamboo pole.
Blood dripped, and looked particularly ferocious. This was the head of Xiaoguo soldier who wanted to escape back to Guanzhong and was chased by Dugu Sheng.
Dugu Sheng was not a member of the Dugu family. His father's surname was Li, and he was a general of Dugu Xin. He was given the surname Dugu. He was ordered by Yang Guang to pursue Xiaoguo and flee to the flee. It was quite effective.
Dou Xian looked at the bloody heads, his eyes were very complicated, and he was preparing to escape. The Dou family defected to Li Yuan, and his grandfather Dou Wei sent someone to send a letter to him to go back as soon as possible. Although Dou Xian was not arrested for family affairs, he
He had been deprived of military power. He knew that this was just Yang Guang's fear of causing chaos and did not kill him. Once the matter was provoked, Yang Guang would undoubtedly kill him.
Yuwen Zhiji patted his shoulder and asked in a low voice: "Does the plan change?"
Dou Xian shook his head, "No! The number of people who were caught is the only one who has escaped. I still have to leave and leave tonight."
"Okay! Then I wish you a good journey."
After leaving the wine shop, Yuwen Zhiji hurried to Yuwen's mansion. Since Yuwen Shu died in Guanzhong, Yang Guang has no choice but to cherish Yuwen Shu's old achievements, pardoned all his faults, and buried him with a heavy burden, and treated Yuwen Shu's three sons.
He was even more loving, especially for Yu Wen and, not only did he not punish him for cheating him to open the city gate of Chang'an, but also allowed him to regain his post, inherited his father's Duke Xu's Duke, and continued to serve as the General of Zuotun Guard, becoming one of the main leaders of the imperial guards.
.
Although Yuwen Shu was dead, Yu Wenhua and his father did not forget his father's plan of rebellion. At present, his family is all gathered in several Datianzhuang villages in Danyang County. The family soldiers have recruited 30,000, and his uncle Yuwen Xin is fully responsible.
Yu Culture is waiting for an opportunity.
In the room, Yu Wenhua and his adviser Liu Qing discussed the opportunity to revolt. Liu Qing was about 40 years old and had always been Yu Wen Shu's aide. After Yu Wen Shu's death, he was trusted by Yu Wen Shu.
He turned to assist Yu Wenji.
After Yu Wenhe's arrest, he changed a lot, at least he became self-aware. He knew that he was not talented, so he attached great importance to his counselor Liu Qing and almost obeyed his words.
"Mr. said that this desertion incident is an opportunity to raise an army. I still don't understand why I will give up on Danyang's uprising. Please tell me in detail."
Liu Qing stroked his beard and smiled and said, "Actually, it is very simple to say it thoroughly. At the beginning, hundreds or thousands of deserters may not affect the overall situation, but if there is a large-scale escape, such as tens of thousands of deserters, then the entire situation will appear.
The Jiangdu army was about to collapse. At this time, General Yuwen raised his arms and was willing to take everyone back to Guanzhong. I think with General Yuwen and the appeal of the Yuwen family, we will inevitably respond. At that time, tens of thousands of soldiers were holding the emperor.
Who dares to refuse to follow the orders of the princes and command the world? This is more high-level and more powerful than Danyang's uprising. What does General Yuwen think?"
Yu Wenhua and he pondered without saying a word. Danyang started his rebellion and planned it since his father. He had been planning for many years. He was ready and now he was giving up again, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
Liu Qing understood his thoughts, so he took a step back and advised him: "Actually, what I meant is not to give up Danyang, but to slow down the uprising of Danyang, and to solve this end first. If this end cannot succeed, then turn around.
Danyang, too, too.”
Liu Qing's plan was acceptable and he stayed with Danyang as a way out. He nodded and smiled, "Okay! I promised sir, what should I do now?"
"It's very simple. I have two strategies that can be implemented at the same time. Zuo's strategy is to spread rumors and incite soldiers to escape."
Yu Wenji nodded and asked again: "What about You Ce?"
"You Ce is also very simple. Buy the eunuchs in the palace and keep abreast of Yang Guang's movements at any time."
As the two were talking, a personal guard reported at the door, "The Third Master is here!"
Yu Wen Zhiji did not wait for Yu Wenhua and agreed, so he pushed open the door and limped in. This was his usual style. He didn't like to report it first and then come in. He was criticized by his father and could not change it.
"Brother, let me tell you something." Yuwen Zhiji said excitedly.
Yu Wenhua frowned. He didn't like his brother's unscrupulous style. He was almost forty years old and was still so frivolous. He held back his anger and asked, "What's the matter?"
Yuwen Zhiji nodded to Liu Qing and smiled and said, "Dou Xian will take 300 people to escape tonight, and he will leave as soon as it gets dark."
"Hmph! Of course he has to leave. The Dou family has defected to Li Yuan. If he doesn't leave, he will be dead."
Yu Wenhe was not very interested in the news about his brothers. At this time, Liu Qing next to him turned his eyes and thought about it. He quickly said to Yu Wenhe: "General Yuwen can immediately report to Yang Adou for Dou Xian's escape.
”
Yu Wenhua and puzzled, "Didn't you say you want to promote a larger-scale escape? Why do you want to report Dou Xian instead?"
Liu Qing narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Yang Guang killed Dou Xian. Others would not think that Dou Xian was killed because of escape, but that Yang Guang was dealing with the Guanlong nobles who defected to Li Yuan. In this way, more people
They would flee in panic, and they were all the Guanlong nobles in power."
Brother Yuwen looked at each other and this plan was indeed vicious.
Liu Qing reminded him again: "General Yuwen must not come forward for reporting the matter. He must ask others to report it. Otherwise, it will affect Xiaoguo's favorability towards General Yuwen."
The Hu Ben Lang General Dou Xian was unable to escape in the end and was reported by Qianniu Wei Yuwen. The guards found the letters Dou Wei wrote to him and his plan to escape in his room. The evidence was conclusive. Yang Guang was furious and ordered
All Dou Xian and 300 people who were preparing to escape together were beheaded.
Dou Xian was the highest official to be killed so far, which caused shock to the court. As Liu Qing expected, the government and the country began to panic.
After the morning court, Yu Shiji came directly to Yang Guang's imperial study. He only heard about Dou Xian's murder in the morning court. He immediately realized that something was wrong. This would only make more people afraid to escape.
The Lord was a little confused when dealing with this matter.
He came to the imperial study room and waited for a while. The eunuch Li Zhongliang walked out, nodded and laughed, "The Lord let the Prime Minister Yu enter!"
"Thank you, my father-in-law!"
Yu Shiji took out more than a dozen golden beans from his arms, put them in his hands with a smile, and walked into the imperial study room. Li Zhongliang narrowed his eyes and looked at the small handful of golden beans in his eyes, and his eyes were smiling into a slit.
In the imperial study room, Yu Shiji had already told Yang Guang about his concerns. Yang Guang stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, not saying a word for a long time. He was also a little upset, and he had made a little mistake.
"Then how should we save this?" Yang Guang finally admitted his mistake. This was something that had never happened before.
"Your Majesty, since Dou Xian was killed for escaping, Your Majesty can make public the evidence of his escape so that everyone can understand that the real reason for his killing has nothing to do with the Dou family's resignation to Li Yuan."
Yang Guang nodded, "Yes, I'll leave this matter to you!"
Yu Shiji hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, the soldiers of Xiaoguo escaped, largely because their family is in Chang'an, and their hearts are not in Jiangdu. If they can make the soldiers of Xiaoguo settle down in Jiangdu, they will not have any concerns.
Hurry up and flee back to Guanzhong."
Yang Guang looked back at him, "What should I do?"
"I suggest that the widow Jiangdu and the unmarried woman be paired with Xiao Guo as his wife, so that they can hold their hearts."
Yang Guang concentrating and pondering for a long time, finally nodded, "I'm sure!"
[In history, it was actually Pei Ju's suggestion to qualify the widow of Jiangdu and the unmarried woman to Xiaoguo as his wife] To be continued
