What Yuwen Chenglong is busy with is naturally digging holes to trap those aristocratic families in the North!
Half of the chaos in the world at the end of the Sui Dynasty was caused by Yang Guang, the pig-headed emperor! The other half was due to the serious annexation of land by aristocratic families, which left the people at the bottom with no way to survive! Among them, Shandong, Henan, Hebei and other places were the main ones.
most!
Therefore, Yuwen Chenglong has quite a dislike for these aristocratic families in the North!
Now, under the rule of Yuwen Chenglong, the territory has greatly increased, and the population has also increased a lot, and the vast majority of these new populations are refugees! Real refugees who are so poor that they have nothing!
If you want to provide these refugees with a stable source of livelihood, the best way is to allocate land to everyone! [
So, naturally, Yuwen Chenglong would have conflicts with these aristocratic families in Jiangbei!
In addition, regarding the issue of power distribution, Yuwen Chenglong also has irreconcilable conflicts with these family members!
As a tycoon, Yuwen Chenglong naturally does not want any state-within-a-state situation to appear under his rule! And those noble families, accustomed to being emperors, are not willing to hand over their territory to an outsider like Yuwen Chenglong!
The contradiction seems irreconcilable, so the only way seems to be to fight with fists and use a knife!
Knowing that Yuwen Chenglong was powerful and could not compete with the power of a single aristocratic family, it took almost no time for these aristocratic families to connect together.
First, the big and small families in Henan, Shandong, Hebei and other places were connected in series. Then, under the connection of super powerful families such as the Zheng family in Xingyang, the Cui family in Qinghe, and the Lu family in Fanyang, all the powerful families were connected into one and formed.
A super family alliance was formed.
After the great alliance of these aristocratic families, their sphere of influence has spanned both sides of the Yellow River, with a radius of no less than two thousand miles.
But despite this, these aristocratic families still do not have the courage to face Yuwen Chenglong.
It, Yuwen Chenglong is so cruel!
In the early years, Yuwen Chenglong went on a killing spree in Liaodong. After killing Korean Bangzi to the point of extinction, no matter whether it was friends or foes, everyone was terrified of Yuwen Chenglong!
Now that these aristocratic families want to rebel against Yuwen Chenglong, they naturally don't want any surprises, otherwise the price will be too high!
They feel that it is not safe enough. The first thought that comes to these aristocratic families is to seek external support.
Nowadays, there are only a few people like Li Mi, Wang Shichong, Li Yuan, Liu Wuzhou, Luo Yi and others who can still hope to compete in the world. These aristocratic families naturally set their sights on these princes.
And because there are too many aristocratic families involved and everyone has different opinions, it is difficult for everyone to reach an agreement.
As a result, just when these family alliances were hesitating, Youzhou Luo Yi was annihilated by Yuwen Chenglong, and a few days later, Li Mi of Wagangzhai was also miraculously defeated by Wang Shichong of Luoyang!
At this point, the only real great princes left were Wang Shichong of Luoyang, Li Yuan of Guanzhong, and Liu Wuzhou of Bingzhou.
Currently, Wang Shichong in Luoyang has the strongest military strength. After incorporating the Wagang Army, Wang Shichong's military strength has reached nearly 300,000.
Li Yuan and Liu Wu each raised nearly 200,000 sergeants under the crazy conscription. However, after the two men's efforts, there is basically no strong population in Guanzhong and Bingzhou areas!
As for the other slightly lower-level princes, such as Li Gui of Xiliang and Liang Shidu of Shuofang, their military strength is basically around 100,000. If a miracle happens, these guys will at most just be a sideshow, acting as a sidekick or something, competing for the top spot in the world.
.There is nothing wrong with them![
Of course, there is another guy who seems to be extremely powerful, capable, motivated, and capable of affecting the situation in China, and that is the Khan of East Turkistan, Qilifa. That is Khan of Chuluo!
It's a pity that this guy is a barbarian outside the Great Wall after all. It's impossible for those family members who pride themselves on being superior to take a fancy to these prairie barbarians unless they are desperate!
The situation suddenly changed. The territory under Yuwen Chenglong's rule continued to expand, and it was about to sweep the world. These aristocratic families finally panicked and gathered together several times to hold meetings to discuss countermeasures!
But after all, there were so many people talking and it was difficult to reconcile them. After nearly a month of meetings, everyone still couldn't reach an agreement on who to turn to in the end.
The Hebei family's proposal was to surrender to Liu Wuzhou. In any case, he was a true northerner and a fellow villager, so it was easier to talk to him!
The aristocratic families in Henan are more optimistic about Wang Shichong, because they are closest to Wang Shichong, quite close to each other!
As for the aristocratic families in Shandong, they think they should seek refuge with Li Yuan because many of them have some secret connection with the Li family!
After several discussions, the temporarily put together alliance of aristocratic families finally could no longer maintain it, and it was declared broken and split into three. Afterwards, the aristocratic families in the three places went back to their respective families and went to find their mothers!
Fortunately for the aristocratic families in Hebei and Henan, they are all close to the targets they want to seek refuge with, so it is really easy to hook up with them.
But the Shandong clan is not so lucky. There are more than two thousand miles between them and old bastard Li Yuan. It is still quite difficult to hook up with each other! Moreover, even if they hook up, such a long distance,
Li Yuan, the old bastard, can’t possibly give them substantial support!
After pondering over and over for a long time, these Shandong aristocratic families decided to temporarily cease their activities and wait until old bastard Li Yuan has defeated Liu Wuzhou, and then sends his troops eastward to destroy Wang Shichong!
On the other hand, the noble families in Hebei also encountered a little trouble. Because, at this time, Liu Wuzhou was busy competing with the old bastard Li Yuan for Guanzhong! Although he received the winks from the noble families in Hebei, Liu Wuzhou was not there for the time being.
Think about it! Therefore, the Hebei clan had to temporarily postpone the time of rebellion!
On the other hand, the noble families in Henan not only successfully colluded with Wang Shichong, but also quickly received Wang Shichong's promise to increase his official position. Not only that, Wang Shichong also prepared a preliminary intention to send troops, which was probably to fight against these noble families in Henan.
Attack from inside and outside, trying to defeat Yuwen Chenglong in one fell swoop.
He had just defeated Li Mi and successfully ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. At this moment, the Henan clan came to his door, which just made Wang Shichong's already high confidence soar to the limit again.
So, Wang Shichong hurriedly organized his troops and horses, then marched eastward boldly, heading straight for Hulao Pass to attack. At the same time, Wang Shichong urgently ordered the Zheng family of Xingyang, the Xun family of Yingchuan and other aristocratic families outside Hulao Pass to immediately start a rebellion to cooperate with him.
In fact, Wang Shichong's order is rather insidious. Such an arrangement is basically equivalent to letting the aristocratic families in Henan seduce hatred from the front, while Wang Shichong himself takes advantage from behind!
But now, these aristocratic families in Henan know that they are being used as a weapon, but they have no choice but to rush forward!
Otherwise, once the winner is decided between Wang Shichong and Yuwen Chenglong, no matter what the result is, these aristocratic families will not be able to reap the benefits!
At this moment, the only hope of these aristocratic families is that Wang Shichong can break through Hulao Pass and enter Henan before he is eliminated by Yuwen Chenglong!
With a bit of despair and a bit of tragedy, the Henan clan finally started a massive rebellion!
