The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 87 The Wind
The news spread that Li Yuan had seized most of the east of the river with a destructive force, which greatly boosted the morale of all kinds of anti-kings.

Wagang took the lead in action!The main generals from all walks of life led their troops to sweep across the counties, as if entering an uninhabited land, they successively attacked the two counties of Huaiyang and Runan, and the anti-army forces increased greatly.

Wherever soldiers and horses went, local tyrants, thieves and grassroots came to vote one after another. Li Mi would not refuse anyone who came, and all of them were appointed officials and titles. In this regard, he was as bold as Li Yuan.Although most of them are Wuhe, it also strengthened Wagang's momentum.

An altar was set up in the southern suburbs of Ruyang County, Runan County, to sacrifice to heaven and ascend the throne.Appoint Fang Yanzao as Zuo Changshi, Bing Yuanzhen as You Changshi, Yang Defang as Zuo Sima, and Zheng Detao as Right Sima.Zhai Rang was awarded the official title of Situ, and he was named Duke of Dongjun.Shan Xiongxin was appointed as the general of Zuo Wuhou, Xu Shiji was appointed as the general of Youwuhou, Zu Junyan was appointed as the secretary, and the rest were awarded official positions according to their ranks.

But at this time, there was an irreconcilable contradiction within Wagang. The reason was that Li Mi followed the route of the king's teacher. The name is not a criminal!Although the military law has been established, at least half of the [-] people are Wagang veterans. Most of these people are rogues and desperadoes. Everywhere they went, it was like locusts crossing the border, killing, burning, and looting... Li Mi couldn't bear it, so he pushed them out to sacrificial knives.

Some of Zhai Rang's old ministries said that Li Mi was called Zhengjunfa, but he was actually weakening Zhai Rang's influence. After he killed all his old brothers, it would be Zhai Rang's turn to be the former leader. leadership.Zhai Rang was right when he thought about it, so he recruited his old brother and started to fight against Li Mi. The Wagang Army who worked together gradually formed two factions. Although nothing can be seen in the short term, once conflicts arise, they will grow like weeds!
Li Mi thought that he had shocked Xiao Xiaoshu's generation, Xi Ke Yingchuan, Huai'an, and Fuyang three counties!So far, everyone knows Li Mi's strategy. He sent a general to confront Wang Shichong in Xingyang, leaving him helpless. Then he passed through Xiangcheng County and gave Dongdu a fatal blow from behind.
Yang Tan, who stayed behind in the Eastern Capital, appointed Duan Da and Liu Changgong as the guards of Xiangcheng. This time, the two generals lived up to Yang Tan's expectations. One stopped the new Wei general Shan Xiongxin at Luyang Pass, and the other suppressed Li Mi's army in front of Jicheng County. outside.

……

When Wagang stopped the army and killed the Quartet, Du Fuwei, who had reached a tacit understanding with Li Mi, developed southward with a look of contempt. Yang Guang hurriedly sent General Chen Leng to attack Du Fuwei. Du Fuwei led the crowd to fight, and Chen Leng stood firm. , be cautious.Fu Wei gave her women's clothing and called it "Chen Lao". Chen Leng was enraged and went out to fight, but was defeated.Du Fuwei took advantage of the victory to enter Liyang, claiming to be the general manager, and taking the auxiliary public shrine as his long history, he merged the rebels from various ministries in the Jianghuai area, and occupied the vast area of ​​​​Jianghuai.

……

At the same time, Xiao Xian proclaimed himself emperor and set up hundreds of officials, all in accordance with the old rules of the Liang Dynasty.Posthumously, his father Xiao Cong was Emperor Xiaojing, his grandfather Xiao Yan was King Zhonglie of Hejian, and his father Xiao Xuan was King Wenxian.Dong Jingzhen was named King of Jin, Lei Shimeng was named King of Qin, Zheng Wenxiu was named King of Chu, Xu Xuanche was named King of Yan, Wan Zan was named King of Lu, Zhang Xiu was named King of Qi, and Yang Daosheng was named King of Song.General Wang Shichong of the Sui Dynasty attacked Xiao Xian. At that time, Lin Shihong occupied Jiangnan.Xiao Xian sent general Su Hu'er to attack Yuzhang County, and Yang Daosheng to capture Nanjun County, and Zhang Xiu made a decision on Lingbiao.In a short period of time, the territory extending from the Three Gorges in the west, Jiaozhi in the south, and Hanshui in the north, all belonged to Xiao Xian, with a force of 40.

……

Wang Bo, who is known as the leader of righteousness, tried to go north through Bohai County and create another glories. Jia Wuben, who had been prepared for a long time, took Wang Bo's [-] troops alive.

Yang Gongren ordered the counties along the Yellow River to be on strict alert; Li Jing, governor of Hengshan County, was ordered to sit at Weize Pass and Jingxing Pass to prevent Li Yuan from advancing eastward;At the same time, Su Dingfang and Xue Wanjun went south to regain Loufan County...

In addition, Liang Shidu worked hard in Guannei Road.

Xue Jubing entered Guanzhong, Li Gui went west to Hexi...

……

In the land of China, military disasters are everywhere!
The people howl in war!
...

Jiangdu, it's snowing heavily!
In the city!

Yu Wenhuaji, Yu Wenzhiji and Yuan Min had a drink.

Although the world is full of soldiers, Jiangdu City is still singing and dancing. Although the price of goods is rising rapidly, for these honorable children, they don't have any personal experience.

Yuan Min said suddenly: "The food in Jiangdu is almost gone."

"En!" Yu Wenzhi put down his wine glass, and said, "Now Jiangdu is surrounded by enemies and has become a lonely land. Some counties and counties loyal to the imperial court have no way to transport food even if they have it."

Yu Wenhuaji sighed and said: "Today, dozens of Xiaoguo soldiers escaped, but they were executed by the emperor's order."

Yu Wenzhi shook his head and said, "Stopping killing with killing will only make more people escape."

"Jiangdu has no danger to defend. The Holy Majesty plans to move the capital to Danyang. It's useless! There is no way to defend the food and grass."

The three are full of confusion about the future.

"Wagang is very powerful. It claims to have millions of soldiers. Except for Henan County, all the twelve counties in Henan have fallen. Do you think he can succeed?" Yu Wenzhi asked.

"Maybe! I heard that Wang Bo, Du Fuwei, Dou Jiande, Li Zitong and other anti-kings respect Wagang as the leader and persuade him to advance! The Central Plains and Jianghuai are connected! Jiangdu will surely fall in the first battle! The Holy One will retreat from Yanmen To Chang'an, then to Luoyang, and then to Jiangdu, once Jiangdu is lost, where can we go? Then to the south is the sea."

Yuan Min said: "Li Yuan and his son have made great achievements."

Yu Wenhuaji said: "Yes, this Li Yuan is also a ruthless character! He can pretend to be his grandson for so many years!"

"What do you think we should do? We can't wait to die, can we?"

Yu Wenzhi said: "Wait for Wagang to call!"

Yuan Min said: "If you can't wait, Jiangdu's food can't even survive this winter. Without food and pay, the army that was already in chaos will collapse immediately."

"You can't run away too. Now that the emperor has issued a decree, who dares to escape and kill Wushu!"

Yuan Min said in a low voice, "I heard that all the Xiaoguo soldiers want to escape, even the accompanying officials want to leave."

Yu Wenhuaji nodded and said, "That's true, but what can you do? The emperor is determined not to leave."

Yuan Min said: "Several people will definitely not be able to escape, but if the tens of thousands of Jiangbei camps flee together, who would dare to stop? Who would dare to stop?"

Yu Wenhuaji's eyes lit up: "You mean?"

Yuan Min said: "Brother Huaji is the head of the Jiangbei camp. You should contact more people. Brother Zhiji and I will contact the children of hundreds of officials! Let's run together. Anyway, Guanzhong is our hometown. It is better than here, brother. Your family and relatives are all in Guanzhong!"

After thinking about it, Yu Wenhua felt that this was a good way. Since everyone wanted to escape, he could simply let himself, the general, take the lead.

"Okay, then let's get in touch as soon as possible."

Yu Wenhuaji took the picture. Although his father Yu Wenshu died, the power of Yuwen's family is still rooted in the officialdom and the army
His father was one of the main generals who put down Yang Xuangan, and chased and killed Li Mi until he had nowhere to go. If the Wagang Army went south, the Yuwen family, who had an old grudge with Li Mi, would be doomed. So their brothers were more anxious than anyone else. Fleeing from Jiangdu.

"It's not too late, contact someone now."

"it is good!"

The three hurried downstairs and left separately.
