Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 200

The 5000 people left by Qiao Zhongkui are all his direct descendants, with mixed foot and horse.

How to arrange this army also needs to be discussed carefully.

Although Wang Yichen's chess piece has been placed on Pei Wen'an's side, it is still unknown whether it will work or not.

So after discussing with Yang Su and others, Yang Ming planned to use Qiao Zhongkui's troops to go east and pursue Pei Wen'an.

Although Pei Wen'an has been defeated now, he still has nearly 2 cavalry in his hands, which is an unstable factor. The cavalry is highly mobile, and Yang Ming is worried that Pei Wen'an will harass his army going north.

Therefore, Qiao Zhongkui's task was to find a way to hold Pei Wen'an back. Yang Ming deliberately concealed his surrender to the court, but he declared to the outside world that the main force defeated Qiao Zhongkui's troops in Yuxiang, and the latter led the rest of his troops to flee eastward.

I just don't know if Pei Wen'an will believe it. No scouts from Pei Wen'an have been found in the surrounding areas of Hedong County. Presumably, the news has not leaked out. As long as Qiao Zhongkui marches fast, there is still a chance to deceive Pei Wen'an.

As for Qiao Zhongkui's eldest son, Qiao Chunji, Yang Ming granted him permission to participate in major military affairs.

This person knows a lot about Yang Liang's arrangements,

"Pei Wen'an's defeat, this time going north, only Huo Yi has troops stationed, but the number is not many, only five thousand."

Qiao Chun pointed to the map and said, "But the king of Han will soon receive the news of Pei Wen'an's defeat, so he will probably send a large army to the south to guard Huoyi. As long as Huoyi can be captured, the Jinyang defenders will not be enough. Fear too."

In the Shanxi region, Pei Wen'an had consumed half of the soldiers that could be recruited. With Qiao Zhongkui's surrender, there were indeed not many soldiers in Jinyang.

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 said, "A few days ago, my father received news that General Liu Jian had sent troops from Jingxing (Jingxing County, Hebei Province), and the capture of Xindu County was blocked. Jizhou Governor Wei Yuancheng temporarily recruited the family There are more than [-] children and civilian husbands, and they stick to Xindu. The two sides are still in a confrontation stage. If Xindu cannot be taken down, he has no way to go east.”

Xindu County, also known as Hengshui City, Hebei Province, is the capital of Jizhou.

In ancient China, there was Kyushu, the land of Han. This name first appeared in the Xia Dynasty. Dayu cast Jiuding, which symbolized the land of Kyushu in the world, so the name Kyushu gradually became the synonym of ancient China.

Among them, Jizhou is the head of Kyushu, with a very large territory. Hebei, Shanxi, northern Henan, Liaoning and parts of Inner Mongolia all belong to Jizhou.

At the beginning of the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, the position of governor of Jizhou was a real frontier official, but Yang Jian thought that this position had too much jurisdiction, so he reduced it every year. Only half of Hebei is left.

If you can't pass Xindu County, you can't enter Shandong. That's why Qiao Chun said that Yang Liang won't leave.

As for the 5000 surrendered troops received from Qiao Zhongkui, after being mixed with Shi Wansui's troops, a total of [-] troops were divided into three parts, one for Shi Wansui, one for Yang Yichen, one for Li Jing, and one for Shi Wansui. Chief.

The grain and grass supplies in the rear have successfully crossed the river, and began to be sent to Hedong County continuously. After Yang Ming set off to the north, there will be nearly [-] civilians who will be responsible for escorting grain and grass in the rear.

On the way, Yang Ming received the military report from Guo Yan. After the surrender, Guo Yan's troops had exceeded [-]. Changsun Sheng had successfully captured Linfen County, the capital of Jinzhou, and further north was Huoyi.

Huoyi is a strong city, and it is not easy to fight. Changsun Sheng has [-] cavalry under his command, and it is not suitable to attack the city, so he bypasses Huoyi, continues northward, and marches into Fenzhou.

After Yang Ming, Yang Su and others conspired together, they directly ordered Guo Yan to attack Huo Yi.

If you don't fight, you don't know how many guards Huo Yi has. Even if Yang Liang sends a large army to help, Guo Yan's 4 troops can still hold out.

After eating in Linfen County, Guo Yan headed north the next day without encountering any obstacles. Two days later, he arrived at the city of Huoyi.

The siege battle began.

Huoyi is a very critical place, located in the middle of the south of Jinyang and the north of Hedong.

Going to the north, it is the gate of Jinyang, and fighting to Guanzhong, it is also the gateway of Guanzhong, a place that must be contested for the Zhenger Eight Classics.

Guo Yan used local materials to build climbing ladders, surrounded the county on three sides, and issued an order to siege the city in the early morning of the next day.

It was at this time that he received a report from scouts that most of the rebels were heading south from Jinyang. Calculating the time, he could reach Huoyi within a day.

Guo Yan ordered the siege to continue, and he led a Chinese army of 2 people to line up in the east of the county.

One day later, Zhao Zikai and Guo Yan, who were heading south, met each other.

But what Zhao Zikai didn't know was that behind his ass, there were [-] elite cavalry from the imperial court.

When he received the news, it was too late.

Changsun Sheng led the main force of the cavalry and killed a carbine from the direction of Fenzhou. When Zhao Zikai's retreating army appeared in sight, Changsun Sheng immediately ordered the army to attack the formation.
It is double-teaming again, and it is a north-south encirclement formed by an absolutely superior force.

Zhao Zikai was defeated, and he himself was defeated and committed suicide.

Since then, the counter-insurgency army has gone north without any obstacles.

Seven days later, Yang Ming personally led an army of 15, encircling the majestic 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 made an explanation that Yang Liang could not kill him.

So Yang Ming hoped that the other party would surrender honestly. In fact, according to historical records, Yang Liang also surrendered the whole city after seeing that the situation was over.

After all, he is Yang Guang's younger brother. Although he is a rebel, he knows that there is still a way to survive if he surrenders. If he does not surrender, he will definitely die.

Four days later, Yang Liang left Jinyang City with 500 members of his family.
And Yang Ming was waiting for him not far outside the city.

Riding out from the formation, Yang Ming led 1000 personal guards and rushed towards Yang Liang.

"Uncle Wu, what is the reason for this?" After Yang Ming got off his horse, he smiled bitterly at Yang Liang and said:
"Father is sympathetic to the brotherhood, and specially ordered me to invite Fifth Uncle to return to Daxing."

"When is he going to kill me?" Yang Liang tentatively asked with a hopeless face.

Yang Ming said with a smile: "Where did Uncle Wu say that we are a family, even though Uncle Wu made such a big mistake, but my father is kind, how can I bear to attack my brother."

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 the Chinese army with 6 people, carried Yang Liang's family members with them, and returned to Daxing first. Shi Wansui and Changsun Sheng were responsible for cleaning up the rest of the mess.

Yang Ming wanted to train Li Jing, so he ordered him to march into Hebei with an army of [-].

He specially ordered that the soldiers entering the city should not disturb the palace of the king of Han.

As for Pei Wen'an, the end was more miserable. A wandering lone army, already dispirited, received the news that Jinyang had fallen and the King of Han had been captured. His subordinates chopped off his head and sent it to Qiao Zhongkui. The head was dedicated to Yang Ming in Fenzhou.

Pei Wen'an didn't die at his own hands, Wang Yichen knew that if he went back, his life would definitely be lost, so he fled eastward with a dozen or so people and disappeared.

It took Yang Ming 34 days to lead the army to put down the rebellion as the Generalissimo of the march. As long as Yang Liang was captured alive, the rest would be easy to clean up.

The good news has been dispatched in advance.

A cavalry team of 200 people and [-] horses traveled all day and night to the capital.

The sergeant in charge of passing the good news, with the yellow flag and the handsome flag on his back, 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 big bosses who had been staying in the yamen for more than a month got up one after another.

"Report!"

"King Qin captured Jinyang, against Wang Yang Liang, surrender!"

Gao Jiong and the others were overjoyed, and said to the captain, "Don't stop, keep shouting, hurry to Daxing Hall."

In the main hall, Yang Guangda, who received the news, was overjoyed and directly rewarded the captain who sent the good news with a thousand bolts of silk.

"Prince,"

Yang Zhao was overjoyed to come out: "My son is here."

Yang Guang was in a good mood, he laughed and said, "You will go to Chang'an Station tomorrow and wait until your younger brother comes back, so I can welcome him back to the palace."

"I understand, my son, I should personally lead the horse and hold the whip for Brother Ming," Yang Zhao promised 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 biggest rebellion came to an end. Everyone knew very well that the small rebels in Hebei and Shandong would not be successful at all, and they would all be wiped out in a short time.

Yang Guang ordered that all officials of the fifth rank and above be invited to the banquet for three days in the Daxing Hall.

On Zhuque Avenue, the street was sprinkled with water and hung with red silk, waiting for Yang Ming to return to Beijing.

Qin Wangfu, the former Hedong Wangfu, has changed the door plaque 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 asked people to take it down and inscribed the door plaque himself.

Yes, among the five brothers, Yang Guang is the best in literary talent and calligraphy. To be honest, there is not much better than him in the Great Sui Dynasty.

This is his hobby. When he was in Jiangdu, whenever he was free, he would read and write.

After Pei Shuying received the good news, she immediately ran to the outside of Yang Yinjiang's delivery room. Granny Wen had been in for a day, and Yang Yinjiang's painful screams could be heard from time to time.

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 off his forehead, waiting for Queen Xiao's inquiry.

The one inside is pregnant with His Majesty's first grandson. If something unexpected happens, His Majesty will be furious, and many people will die here.

The last thing a court physician wants to do in his life is to deliver babies for the royal family.

Empress Xiao held the Buddhist beads in her hand, and kept chanting the blessings of the Bodhisattva. Half an hour ago, there was a word from inside that the princess's amniotic fluid broke.

"Bodhisattva bless, Bodhisattva bless, mother and child are safe."

In the fourth year of Renshou, on October 29, at the hour of Yin, Princess Yuwen of Qin gave birth to a son.

This is the first grandson of Emperor Yang Guang. He personally visited the Qin Palace and named the child Yang Rui.

The auspicious person is auspicious, and people are kind, and God is telling them with Furui
