Chapter 220 The Emperor is stupid

The Emperor of Daye began to revenge like a vent of anger!

Wang Rengong, the vanguard general of the Liao army, made military achievements in both campaigns. Because his nephew Wang Zhongbo participated in the rebellion, he was removed from office and title;

The scholar Wang Zhou and Yu Chuo were once the old ministers of the Emperor of Daye when he was a vassal king. After becoming emperor in Yang Guang, he became a confidant and chanted poems with him from time to time. Because he was accused of being a good friend with Yang Xuangan, he was exiled to the border. The two of them were executed after they fled;

Before Yang Xuangan's uprising, the Si Nongqing Zhao Yuanshu secretly let Yang Xuanzong, Yang Xuanzong, escape from Liaodong and returned south. Yang Guang personally visited the interrogation and beheaded and destroyed his family;

King Yang Hao of Qin was also deposed because Yang Xuangan had planned to make him a king.

The handling of the rebels is even more bloody!

Generals Li Zixiong, Duke Li Mi of Pushan County, Yang Jishan, Wang Zhongbo, Wei Fusi and others were captured and taken to Gaoyang. Except for Li Mi who escaped halfway, they were all executed by heavy methods of dealing with "violent and rebellious people". The method was to tie the prisoner and others to the prisoner's neck and put the wheels on the prisoner's neck. First, let officials above the civil and military ranks and above take arrows with bows and shoot them. After ten thousand arrows penetrated, five horses were split into pieces. Finally, the corpse was burned and ashes were burned to prevent their bones from existed. As for Yang Xuangan, who was already dead, except for all his brothers who were implicated and killed, he was also stolen for three days after his death, and then chopped into meat sauce and burned them.

While liquidating Yang Xuangan, Yang Guang also dispatched two generals from the court, two generals with very good surnames. One was Tu Wanxu, who had a surname Tu Wan, and Yu Yu, who had a surname Yu. Although both of them were not famous generals, they were both first-class generals, basically the second generation of Shi Wansui.

Especially Yu Kuluo, who is eight feet long, has extremely strong arms, has a strong voice, and has hundreds of steps in his voice. He often leads several people to "raise fast horses, yell at the sight of their eyes, and they should be invincible; go left and right, and go back and forth like flying"!

Both of them are brave and extremely brave, but both of them have one flaw, that is, their background is bad. After decades of ups and downs, they have not followed a good boss, General Yuwen Yong, King of Han Yang Liang, Duke of Chu Yang Su, all of these bosses are Yang Guang's death revenge.

Yu Juluo is similar. Because of his bravery in the war, he has always been a general under Duke Yang Su of Chu. This time, Yang Xuangan launched a rebellion, and the two escaped this disaster because they were on the border. Yang Guang issued an imperial edict, which ordered the two to lead the army and quickly pacify Jianghuai Liu Shiyuan and others who dared to proclaim themselves emperor.

But there is a saying that wherever there is oppression, there will be resistance. The people began to live in the world because of the continuous construction of the Eastern Capital, the construction of the Grand Canal, and the eastern expedition of Goguryeo. And because of Yang Guang's fierce bandit suppression, the world was full of soldiers, and the army along the way fought everywhere.

Except for a few soldiers who were elite soldiers in the palace, most of the rest were recruited by various places. Most of the time, these soldiers who suppressed bandits became bandits instead.

The weeds cannot be burned, and they grow again when the spring breeze blows.

Yang Guang's harsh strategy finally began to kick off the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

In Gaoyang City, Gaoyang County, in the emperor's temporary palace, the emperor gathered together at this time.

"I'll say, if there are thieves coming up today, are you good plans?"

Yang Guang wore a purple gold crown and sat upright on the dragon throne. Since returning from Liaodong, he has seen more and more haggardness. Only more than 400,000 people have already had frosty temples and their faces are even pale and dark.

As today, the more he killed, the more people rebel, the more people were rebelling. It seemed that the whole world was fighting against him. By this time, he felt exhausted and no longer had the ambition of his succession at the beginning of his succession. All that was left was an indescribable sense of powerlessness.

Na Yan Su Wei was the real tumbler of the Sui Dynasty. When Gao Bing was the leader of all officials, he was already his assistant. He was the Minister of Shangshu Zuo Pushe and the prime minister. He served as the emperor of Yang Guang and his son, and was dismissed several times, but the old boy finally regained the position of prime minister.

However, after being demoted to a civilian several times, the old man became smart. From then on, he did not dare to speak out for advice and accepted the orders when encountering problems. Later, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the thief Yu Wenhua and the murderer of Emperor Yang, and Su Wei was appointed as the Guanglu official. Hua and defeated, Su Wei surrendered to Li Mi. Li Mi was defeated, and Su Wei returned to Wang Shichong. Shichong proclaimed himself emperor and appointed Su Wei as the Grand Tutor. It can be said that this old man was the most unconscionable person and a typical fence-bearer.

Hearing Yang Guang's name pointing to him, he stood there for a long time, and he didn't know if his conscience suddenly discovered it, or if he felt that if the Sui Dynasty was destroyed, his good days would come to an end. For the first time, he did not say clichés anymore, but said seriously, "Your Majesty, if the thieves are rising today, you need your Majesty to take charge of the capital. Whether you go south to the Eastern Capital or west to Chang'an, as long as your Majesty returns to the capital and then use the strategy of suppressing and pacifying, the bandits will be able to settle down soon."

"Now, the most serious bandits in Shandong are in Hebei and Shandong. Your Majesty can issue an order to exempt the money, grain and taxes from the two places for three years, and then issue an order to open warehouses in various places to revive disasters. It also issued an order to apply for bandits from various places to return to their hometowns to register for farming, and the past crimes will no longer be pursued. Then, these bandits will inevitably collapse in one go. And... and..."

Yang Guang narrowed his eyes tightly. He just asked casually, and he didn't expect that the old man who only knew how to flatter Wang Feng would say anything. But he didn't expect that the old man would be abnormal today, saying one thing and two things and three things. Looking at his irritable look, he said that he wanted to know what else he could say, so he came.

Su Wei bent over, his face turned red at this time, but his heart was filled with regret. Why couldn't he hold back? He knew who Yang Guang was. He followed his crystal, and those who went against others would die.

Although he and Yuwen Shu, Pei Yun, Pei Shiju and Yu Shiji, the four closest ministers, were collectively called Wugui, he knew best that among the five people, he was just a puppet. Although he was named the prime minister, in fact, Emperor Yang Guang just saw that he did not object to anything and blindly obeyed the emperor's wishes.

"Why, don't you have a lot to say? Why don't you say halfway but stop saying it?" Yang Guang's faint words revealed endless majesty, especially recently, after seeing Yang Guang punishing his former colleagues who rebeled, everyone had a deep fear of Yang Guang.

Su Wei was frightened and knelt on the hall, tremblingly, "And, as long as your Majesty declares the world to stop large-scale engineering corvee service from now on, and stop conquering Liao, and no longer recruiting soldiers to attack Goguryeo, then the people of the world will definitely praise you. After a few years of rest, my Great Sui Dynasty will surely enter the prosperous era of the rule of the founding emperor again!"

After hearing Su Wei's words, Yang Guang's face turned completely dark. Although Su Wei's words were reasonable, he also knew that if he did that, the current chaos in the Sui Dynasty might be solved in a few years.

But in this way, it means that Yang Guang admitted to everyone in the world that since the great cause, what he did was wrong. If he was willing to accept such a result, he would no longer believe in his mistakes. Even if he knew it was wrong, he would make mistakes to the end.

Looking at Su Wei lying in the hall, Yang Guang's pupils widened. It seemed that he had already become a prime minister who had already become a vocal worm, and it was not as simple as he thought. Thinking of this, his eyes narrowed, and Pei Yun and the others who had been paying attention to all this could not help but smile. They knew that every time the emperor narrowed his eyes, it was a sign of the emperor's furiousness.

Su Wei is Na Yan, this is a position with a high position and power. Although Pei Yun and Pei Shiju have always been close to the emperor, their official positions are not high. At this time, they all had the idea of ​​taking Su Wei and replacing him. After all, they would be the prime minister when they sat in that position.

An eunuch walked into the hall and said a few words softly in the ear of the hall prison. After hearing the back hall prison, he immediately lowered his head to Yang Guang and shouted, "Your Majesty, Huang Ying, the official escort, has returned from Liaodong and is waiting to see him outside the hall."

When he heard that Huang Ying, the communications clerk sent to Liaodong to issue an order, was outside, Yang Guang threw Su Wei's incident aside, stood up and said, "Come in quickly, hurry!"

He had lost contact with Liaodong for more than two months, and Yang Guang wanted to know the situation in Liaodong too much. He was full of expectations for the young general Chen Kefu who rose like a star. The young general who he had pushed up with one hand was invincible and defeated. I wonder if this time he stayed in Liaodong brought him good news.

After the Tongshi House declared the emperor's will in Liaodong, he stayed for only two days and hurried back to the Central Plains with several carts of rare treasures sent by Chen Kefu and others. In addition to him, Chen Qing, the general under Chen Kefu's tent, was also accompanied by him.

"I will meet your Majesty, long live my emperor!" Huang Ying was moving quickly along the way, in order to tell the emperor the good news from Liaodong as soon as possible. He knew that such good news might also benefit from some good news by then and get a reward or something.

"Let me tell me, what's going on in Liaodong now? Where is Chen Kefu now? Everything is OK?"

"Your Majesty, great victory, great victory!"

Huang Ying said to Yang Guang excitedly with joy.

From the emperor to the officials, everyone was a little surprised by Huang Ying's loud victory. Chen Kefu just left behind with ten thousand people to Liaodong. Where did this great victory come from?

"Where did the victory come from? But did Chen Kefu take the Liaodong City?" Yang Guang asked excitedly. In his opinion, when he withdrew his troops, Liaodong City had almost been fought, and the defenders in the city were consumed. If Chen Kefu took the opportunity to take it, it would be very likely.

"Your Majesty, you not only took the Liaodong City! When I received the order from Your Majesty that day, I rushed to Liaodong without stopping. It was already the end of August. As soon as I arrived at Liaodong City, the Duke of Liao was the leader of the Liao Kingdom to return to Liaodong City. The little minister learned that General Chen not only took the Liaodong City, but also fought against the Goguryeo people for several consecutive games within a month, winning several consecutive games!"

Yang Guang was so excited that he couldn't sit still. He stood there and asked, "Let me tell me the details!"

Huang Ying pointed to Chen Qing beside him and said, "Your Majesty, this is Chen Qing, the general under General Chen. It is better to leave the heroic deeds of the Duke of Liao in Liaodong than to give them to General Chen."

Yang Guang said happily, "Okay, give this warrior a cushion."

This was the first time Chen Qing entered the Emperor's Golden Palace and faced the emperor directly. He was also full of nervousness and stuttering when he opened his mouth. However, when he talked about their achievements in Liaodong, he became smoother and smoother. Even when he talked about the latter, he couldn't help but stand up, pointed at him, and tried to compete. What Chen Kefu did in Liaodong was already thrilling and full of ups and downs, but at this time, in Chen Qing's mouth, it had become like a legendary story.

The ritual officer in the hall winked at Chen Qing from time to time and signaled that he was rude in the hall. However, Chen Qing, who was speaking at this time, still remembered these things. Even the ministers and emperor Yang Guang in the court were completely drunk in his narrative and did not care about whether it was rude or not.

At night, he captured Liaodong City, reorganized the strong people, led snakes out of the cave, closed the door and beat dogs, took the initiative to attack, and ambush Jinshan, with the momentum of great victory, successfully shattered more than 100 Liao people's mountain cities on the Liaohe line. He defeated more than 70,000 Liao people, captured more than 400,000 Liao people, and millions of food, grass and equipment.

This result was beyond everyone's expectations. It could even be said that everyone's chin was shocked, especially Pei Yun and Pei Shiju, which was like seeing a ghost in broad daylight.

What happened when Chen Kefu stayed in Liaodong? He only brought 10,000 cavalry and 400,000 civilian craftsmen to burden him. But as a result, they not only did not wait for the news that Chen Kefu was defeated or died, nor did they wait for the news that Chen Kefu was besieged by the Liao *** army. Instead, they waited for such news, which was incredible.

But they absolutely believe that such news is true. This is not only the news sent back by Chen Kefu, but also Huang Ying, a public affairs clerk who had just been sent back to Liaodong City. No one dared to lie because it was the crime of deceiving the king.

After talking for a long time, Chen Qing finally explained the details of Liaodong over the past month. However, there are many places that have not been said, such as the more than 10 million stones of grain accumulated in Liaodong City, all kinds of armor and equipment piled up in Liaodong City, and nearly 100,000 war horses. Chen Qing passed by these places in a very vague area, only saying that many were seized, more than one million.

The ministers and emperors in the court should understand it as more than one million, or as millions, but of course it is actually more than ten million. The war with the Khitans and the Marines was not mentioned, but simply mentioned that when attacking Fuyu, the Khitans and Marines sent troops to help.

But even so, Yang Guang said in disbelief, "So, Chen Pojun stayed in Liaodong, not only took Liaodong and defended the new city, but also defeated the entire Liaoshu line? Hundreds of large and small mountain cities on the Liaohe line have been captured? More than 400,000 Liao people on the Liaohe line have been captured, and even millions of money, grain and equipment have been seized?"
