The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 520 Liu Bei's Response to the Strong Enemy in Liaodong
With the auspicious appearance of Zongzong in the vicinity of Luoyang, the voice of the Wang family became more and more loud, and at this time the courtiers put pressure on the emperor Yang Tong.

He strongly advised Yang Tong to let Zheng Guogong Wang Shichong, who has both ability and political integrity, be the emperor. Based on this, Yang Tong was definitely unwilling to give up the Great Sui Dynasty, and refused emphatically.

After Sui Emperor Yang Guang was killed, there were three emperors in this world.

One is that the Li family entered the Guanlong area and supported the acting king Yang You, and the other is Yu Wenhua and Yang Hao and Yang Tong who were supported by Yu Wenhua.

However, among the three emperors today, only Yang Tong is still alive.

It is conceivable that if Yang Tong abdicates the throne, then the Sui Dynasty will really perish!

Therefore, it was in consideration of Zong Zong that Emperor Taizhu Yang Yu resolutely refused, intending to force Wang Shichong to submit with his unyielding will.

However, it is obvious that Wang Shichong is not a good stubble.

In the next few days, in the dead of night, Yang Tong was frequently assassinated outside the palace. Every time when Yang Tong was frightened, Wang Shichong led the guards to escort him.

As he was assassinated again and again, Yang Tong didn't know that this was Wang Shichong's trick.

Its purpose is also very clear, that is to force Yang Tong to abdicate.

It was night, Yang Tong was still assassinated, and Wang Shichong also led the escort at the critical moment, and then he cupped his hands and said to Yang Tong: "Your Majesty, you are frightened!"

"As far as I can see, this group of assassins clearly wants to take His Majesty's life."

"Although there are veterans guarding them all the time, the assassins can't succeed, but there will be a hundred secrets in the end, in case the damned thief will succeed."

"Then His Majesty's life is not guaranteed, so the old minister suggested that His Majesty should follow the policy of the ministers and abdicate!"

"Otherwise, as time goes by, even veteran officials will not be able to protect His Majesty's safety.

For a while, following Wang Shichong's words, Yang Tong's heart sank, and his nervousness spread all over the surroundings.

From what Yang Tong saw, how could he fail to hear the deep meaning of Wang Shichong's words.

Its words show that if you know the current affairs now, you will be able to enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future.

But if you are still stubbornly resisting, then don't blame me for turning my face and denying people. At worst, Wang Shichong will put aside the so-called etiquette and usurp the throne directly.

It's just that after making a difficult decision, Yang Tong has already thought it over clearly. At this moment, Da Sui can't keep it no matter what.

Even if he doesn't let go, Wang Shichong will forcefully usurp the throne. By then, his life will not be guaranteed.

Therefore, under the strong advice of the ministers, Yang Tong finally agreed to abdicate to Zheng Guogong Wang Shichong's edict.

However, Wang Shichong refused on the spot and asked Yang Tong to withdraw his order. How can he inherit the great rule and rule the world?
Of course Yang Tong knew very well that this was Wang Shichong acting to show his loyalty, but he had no choice but to pretend not to know and persuade.

After doing this three times, Wang Shichong agreed to the request for abdication, and reluctantly agreed to proclaim himself emperor and build a country.

One month later, in the winter of 619, Wang Shichong built the altar on the outskirts of Luoyang.

Later, an imperial edict was issued on this day, Wang Shichong personally boarded the high platform, and his Yang Tong stood under Wang Shichong in person, announcing that the emperor would abdicate to Wang Shichong.

After some ceremonies, Wang Shichong finally ascended the throne as emperor, founded Zheng, changed Yuan to Kaiming, and took the following year as the first year of Kaiming.

Thus, with the desolation of Yang Tong, the last emperor of the Sui Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty officially perished and disappeared in the long river of history.

Liaodong County

Just as the war between the Central Plains was in full swing, the northern Liaodong was also full of wars, and its tragedy was no less tragic than that of the Central Plains.

The Governor of Liaodong County is Liu Bei from Zhuo, who was originally under the jurisdiction of Luo Yi, the king of Yan. However, when he took office for a few years, Liu Bei resorted to means to break away from Luo Yi's jurisdiction.

Although today's Liaodong is nominally affiliated to the Yan Army, in fact, Liu Bei has long since become independent and formed a faction of his own.

However, Liaodong at this time encountered an unprecedented crisis.

Because, the powerful Manchu Qing army swept towards Liaodong several times, and the situation in Liaodong today is extremely critical.

The Qing Dynasty was created by Nurhachi, who was born and implanted as the leader of the Liaodong fishing and hunting people.

It has to be said that Nurhachi's methods are as tough as skin, and it took a few short years to unify the fishing and hunting people.

Then he opened up the territory to the north and entered the territory of Mohe one after another. He was almost victorious all the way, and soon conquered a large area of ​​land.

It successively established bases in Anche Gubu and Sumobu, and continued to expand northward.

Because the conditions in the area where the fishing and hunting people live in Liaodong are extremely cold and hard, this has also formed the sturdy folk customs here.

They are extremely brave and extremely determined, so this is also the key factor for the Manchus to sweep all the ministries of Mohe.

Not only that, after sweeping all the ministries of Mohe, Nurhachi imitated the Jinren, popularized Chinese in the territory, wore Hanfu, and practiced Sinicization.

Also because of Zong Zong's Sinicization measures and reforms, the Manchus took root in the Northeast step by step, and their strength became stronger and stronger.

Afterwards, Nurhaci took his son Huang Taiji as the main general and Dorgon as the deputy general, and led the army to the south, taking Goguryeo and other peninsulas.

It took nearly three years before Huang Taiji officially led the army into its capital, Pyongyang, and Koguryo was officially destroyed.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Taiji sat in Pyongyang, dispatched various armies, and continued the crusade!

Within a few months, the Manchus successively invaded and occupied Baekje, Silla and other countries, and formally divided the peninsula under their rule.

For a time, Nurhachi, who integrated the forces of the peninsula and the northeast, was unprecedentedly powerful. Sitting on the northeast half, his strength was extremely strong.

The most important thing is that Nurhachi has done something that the Sui Dynasty has not done since the founding of the country.

That is the successful destruction of Goguryeo. This move can be said to have greatly shocked the Nurha Red Army.

Therefore, as his strength became stronger, Nurhachi also formally imitated the Han people and established the country as emperor.

In the end, Nurhachi established a country in the inner city and proclaimed himself emperor. The name of the country was "Qing", and the history contained the Qing Dynasty.

After proclaiming himself emperor, Nurhachi's primary goal was Liu Bei who was entrenched in Liaodong.

Because the Manchu Qing Dynasty dominated the northeast, Liu Bei was the biggest stumbling block if he wanted to go west and enter the pass to seize the Central Plains.

Only by capturing Liaodong can the road to the customs be opened, and then enter the Central Plains.

Since this battle was the first battle after the founding of the Qing Dynasty, its significance is of great importance and cannot be underestimated.

Therefore, in this battle, Nurhachi mobilized 20 troops, divided them into three groups, and marched towards the third front of Liaodong.

Among them, with Dorgon as the main general and Aobai as the deputy, the [-] army went straight to Anshi City, an important town in eastern Liaodong.

The second route, with Duoduo as the main general, led an army of [-] to march towards Tongding Town, so as to make a breakthrough to the western part of Liaodong.

As for the third route, with Daishan as the main general, he also used [-] troops to pass through Huaiyuan Town, preparing to break through Liaoxi County.

Among them, the most important main force is still the main force led by Dorgon, and the other two are supplementary.

After all, in order to seize the entire territory of Liaodong, Anshi City, an important town, must be taken, otherwise the connection between the peninsula and Liaodong would not be possible.

For a while, with the attack of the Qing army with a scale of 20 cavalry, the roads were full of Manchu soldiers all over the mountains and plains.

Not only that, but the military formations are orderly, the flags are erected, and the morale of the army is high.

Its army was unstoppable, and the sound of endless elite war halberds echoed in Liaodong.

······
Liaodong Prefecture, Xiangping City
At this time, Liu Bei learned of the elites who were attacking the Manchus through spies, and he couldn't help but feel haggard and feel troubled.

Because Liaodong is located at the northern end, the weather here is very cold, the land is narrow and the people are sparsely populated, the expanded army under its command has been maintained at 12 standing corps.

In fact, the 13 legions are extremely difficult for Liaodong. If Liu Bei had not been practicing benevolence and righteousness in the territory, the people in the territory would have risen up.

Therefore, relatively speaking, Liu Bei was quite afraid of the massive attack of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

After all, the good news of the Manchu Qing sweeping across the country in recent years is like a boulder hitting Liu Bei's heart, almost out of breath.

After waiting for a long time, generals headed by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, as well as counselors such as Pang Tong and Li Qin came one after another.

Just when everyone was about to discuss, another man in a brocade suit with a rustic appearance stepped forward.

"Brother, I don't know what happened, so mobilizing teachers and mobilizing people, why don't you invite my brother?"

After finishing speaking, the man went straight to the empty space next to him and sat down, while the two scholars who followed him stood standing behind him.

This person is Liu Bang who was born randomly, and the implanted identity is Liu Bei's younger brother.

For his younger brother, Liu Bei also has a headache, and he seems to be ignorant and incompetent on weekdays.

But Liu Bei observed that his heart was full of ambitions.

No, when he heard that the Manchu Qing army was coming, Liu Bei came here excitedly before he had time to summon him.

However, since then, Liu Bei has also sat cross-legged as the master, and began to discuss with everyone how to deal with the siege of the Manchus.

"Brother, I and my third brother have already heard about the news of the Manchu attack this time. I don't know how big brother is going to deal with it?"

During the banquet, Guan Yu, who had red phoenix eyes, crouching silkworm eyebrows, and a face like jujubes, and was dressed in a dark green robe, asked first.

Hearing this, Liu Bei said slowly: "Eastern Liaodong is narrow and sparsely populated, but the Manchu Qing swept the peninsula and the entire territory of Mohe in the northeast."

"Now the power is extremely strong, it cannot be underestimated!"

"Up to now, I don't have a good plan to meet the enemy, so I specially summoned you here to discuss."

For a while, all the generals under his command were thinking in distress, how to deal with the enemy!
At this moment, even Pang Tong and Li Mi, who were known as Jingtianweidi at that time, did not think of a strategy against the enemy.

The reason is that the strength of the two sides lies there, which cannot be compensated by manpower.

In fact, after Liu Bei stabilized Liaodong, why didn't he have the thought of expanding the territory?
However, his thousands of ambitions were defeated by reality.

When Liu Bei conquered Mohe in the north, the soldiers under his command could not withstand the severe cold and low temperature in his territory, and ended in failure.

Although the temperature in Liaodong is also low, compared to the territory of Mohe, it is completely different!

As for the development to the south, when Xiang attacked Goguryeo, he was firmly blocked by Yuangai Suwen from Goguryeo and was not allowed to enter.

The territory of Goguryeo was originally a barren land, not to mention the complicated terrain, but there were endless streams of wild animals and poisonous insects in its territory.

Therefore, after several years of wasting, Liu Bei was still huddled in Liaodong, making no achievements.

Until the birth of the Qing Dynasty, it took only a few short years to conquer Mohe in the north and the peninsula in the south.

Today, the strength of the Manchu Qing has long surpassed that of Liu Bei's group, but Liu Bei's army has no idea about the invasion.

After all, the combat power of the soldiers of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties has already been seen.

Especially the Eight Banners created by Nurhachi, it is the elite among the elite.
