Zhu Changxiao's version of the Sui Dynasty

Yang Tong, the king of Yue, thought twice, ignored Yuan Wendu's suggestion, adopted Duan Da's strategy, and sent troops to suppress the thieves.

The military order was soon handed down, and Liu Changgong was ordered to be the main general of the Eastern Capital Hu Benlang, and Pei Renji, the governor of Bishui Pass, as the deputy general.

Liu Changgong and Pei Renji, the two generals, went straight to Xingluo out of Bishui Pass, walked for a long time, Liu Changgong sat on the horse, and said to Pei Renji: "I and General Pei divided the army into two roads, I take the Shizi River, you go to Hengling, two days later, meet in Xingluo." "

Pei Renji said: "Now the Wagang thieves have a lot of soldiers and enough food, so they can't enter lightly. "

Liu Changgong asked, "What is the general's opinion?"

Pei Renji said: "Shizihe and Hengling are both dangerous places, if we set up an ambush at the same time, our army will be defeated." It is better to join forces all the way, one before and one behind, and take care of the front and back, which is the best policy. "

Liu Changgong said with a smile: "General Pei is too worried, His Royal Highness the King of Yue has an order, and the two roads go hand in hand, and the hungry people are not enough to worry about." "

"This ......

".

Liu Rengong said: "Don't hesitate, quickly divide the troops and attack Xingluo together!"

Although Pei Renji muttered in his heart, he was a deputy general after all, so he had to reluctantly obey the order, leading all the way to divide the troops and detour to Hengling.

Pei Renji's people walked to Hengling, and there was a military advisor under his command, Jia Yanfu, who was in his twenties, with a bit of bookishness, looked around, and saw that Hengling Mountain was steep, and sat on the horse and said: "General Pei, the terrain of Hengling is complicated, and if there are ambushes, it is difficult to escape. "

"Hmm...... Ordered the soldiers to stand by and not to rush into the army. Pei Renji didn't dare to cross the Hengling easily, but just sent people to the mountain stream to investigate.

The soldiers who were exploring the road had not yet returned, only to hear a rush of horses' hooves, coming from afar, it was Liu Changgong's fast horse captain, galloping in.

"General Pei——! it's not good. "

The lieutenant flew off his horse and knelt down in front of him, and Pei Renji asked, "What is General Liu's send?"

The lieutenant said: "General Liu was ambushed by thieves and started a battle west of the Shizi River, please ask the general to rescue quickly." "

"Huh?" Pei Renji knew that something was wrong, and immediately ordered the rear team of the soldiers to change to the front team, withdraw from Hengling, and immediately divert to Shizihe.

Pei Renji led the cavalry to Shizi River, and when he encountered Liu Changgong being trapped and encircled, Pei Renji shouted: "Destroy the thieves at this time." With a shout, everyone killed.

Facing the

killing, it was Zhai Rang, the leader of Wagang, "The court dog official, take your life!" Zhai Rang did not say anything, and took Pei Renji directly, and the two fought for more than a dozen rounds, Zhai Rang realized that Pei Renji was by no means an idle person, and fought for four or five rounds, Zhai Rang knew that he was not an opponent, so he had to retreat and withdraw his troops in a hurry.

When the Wagang rebels saw that Pei Renji was brave, they retreated one after another, and only then did they relieve the siege of Shizihe. Liu Changgong was discouraged and said to Pei Renji: "I regret not listening to the general's words, and I was defeated." "

Jia Yanfu persuaded on the side: "The thieves are capricious, and they must return to Bishui Pass as soon as possible to avoid a sneak attack." "

"What Jia said in the army is extremely true, the general should not stay here for a long time. "

Liu Changgong and Pei Renji led their troops back to Bishui Pass, Liu Changgong did not dare to stay for a long time, and said to Pei Renji: "This battle is lost, more than half of the losses are lost, I must go back to Luoyang and ask His Royal Highness the King of Yue for guilt." "

Pei Renji said: "Now that the Wagang army has won the hearts of the people, and the officers and soldiers are short of grass and food, I think that many soldiers are war-weary, and I hope that the general will see His Royal Highness the King of Yue and allocate money and food for a protracted war." "

"General Pei, don't worry, I will definitely tell you on my behalf. Liu Changgong said.

Liu Changgong left Bishui Pass, quickly returned to the eastern capital, met Yang Tong, the king of Yue, and rushed to the Qianyang Palace to ask for guilt, Yang Tong, the king of Yue, asked: "The two armies are fighting, why are they so miserable defeated?"

Liu Changgong secretly thought that if he lost the battle and lost his troops, he would be questioned, so it was better to put the blame on Pei Renji and protect himself first, so he said: "The last general has repeatedly dissuaded Pei Renji, divided into two teams, and took care of each other. However, Pei Renji was greedy for merit and made a detour to Hengling, which led to the attack of the last general Shizihe, and he was helpless and failed miserably. "

After all, Yang Tong, the king of Yue, was young, where did he understand the hidden situation, and asked: "Pei Renji has a heavy responsibility and is disappointed, according to the general's opinion, how should Pei Renji deal with it?"

"Order Pei Renji to go to war and make up for his mistakes. Liu Changgong said.

Yang Tong, the king of Yue, nodded, and according to what Liu Changgong said, he sent a messenger to Bishui Pass, and ordered Pei Renji to immediately go out of the pass to defeat the Wagang army. That's it:

Confusing black and white is all shirked, just afraid that incompetence will be condemned.

Bishui Xiongguan often cries tears, there are always more villains than heroes.

Besides, Pei Renji waited for work and held on to Bishui Pass for two days, but he did not see supplies from the imperial court, and finally just waited for a holy decree to order the soldiers of Bishui Pass to attack and defeat the Wagang army.

Pei Renji took the holy decree, sighed for a long time, hesitated, and the military advisor Jia Yanfu sat in the lobby of the Chinese army, and he was also suspicious, Jia Yanfu said: "Liu Changgong returned to Beijing, but he didn't see the food and salary arrived, but he urged the troops. In the next place, he felt that His Royal Highness the King of Yue did not know the facts of the war. "

Pei Renji's eyebrows tightened, his heart was uneasy, and he said: "There are no more than 10,000 thieves in Wagang, they seized Xingluocang, and broke Liu Changgong, opened the warehouse and released grain, which won the hearts of the people. Now there are more than 100,000 people who rebel outside the customs? Isn't it self-defeating to go out of the customs and fight fiercely? What does the king of Yue think?"

Jia Yanfu said: "So far, General Pei is in a dilemma, going out of the customs is to send him to death, and not going out of the customs is waiting for death, this official has really done it." "

"I think I, Pei Renji, is still in China, and my ambition has not been rewarded, but I am the only one to die in advance and retreat, what is Mr. Jia's good strategy, and I hope to teach me. "

"I heard that Zhai Rang, the leader of the Wagang Army, worshiped a military advisor named Li Mi. "

"So what?".

Jia Yunfu said: "When the thief Li Mi served in Yang Xuangan's army in the past, the lower official had been a pen official with him for several months, and he had some friendships. "

Pei Renji hurriedly blocked it with his hand, looked at no one around, and asked in a low voice: "This matter is not a child's play, must not talk nonsense?"

"General, the world has long been in turmoil, and now the emperor has abandoned Erjing and gone to Jiangdong, and half of the Great Sui is already in danger. There are thieves in front, no reinforcements in the back, lack of food and silver, how many days does the general think Bishui Pass can hold on?".

"Alas......" The helpless Pei Renji fell into deep thought, Jia Yanfu saw that Pei Renji was moved, and came in and said: "I heard that Li Mi was born differently from other anti-kings, and his great-ancestor was Li Bi, a famous general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, from a family of eunuchs. "

"Oh?" Pei Renji suddenly asked, as if he had a life-saving straw, "Can the generals of the official army eat in Wagang Mountain?"

"The general doesn't have to think about it. "

Pei Renji nodded and advised: "In this case, tonight you will go to Li Mi's camp to surrender, I will cut off the head of the envoy of the Eastern Capital, and switch and surrender after dawn." "

The two had discussed and decided, and Jia Yanfu went out of Bishui Pass overnight and went straight to the Wagang army camp.

At this time, the Wagang army won one after another, and the poor people outside the pass competed to join them, and the people's desire was great, and the prestige was shocked. At night, the camp of the rebels was brightly lit, and the soldiers of the rebels were busy counting the spoils.

Zhai Rang and Li Mi, the two leaders of the uprising, were also in the camp of the Chinese army, counting the rosters and discussing the future war. Suddenly, a minion came to report: "There is a secret envoy in Bishui Pass who wants to see him." "

Li Mi was overjoyed and smiled at Zhai Rang: "It must be difficult to hold on to it, either to negotiate peace or to return to obedience." Zhai Rang was overjoyed and immediately ordered someone to invite Bishui Guan to envoy.

As soon as Jia Yanfu entered the big tent of the Chinese army, he was recognized by Li Mi at a glance, Li Mi stretched out his arms, rushed forward and hugged Jia Yanfu and said: "I have been waiting for Yanfu for a long time, and I really came uninvited." Jia Yanfu met with Zhai Rang, the leader of Wagang, and sat aside.

Li Miyan said: "When Yan Fu comes here, he must abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and do righteous deeds together." "

Jia Yanfu said: "I not only have to follow the two leaders to raise righteousness, but also to introduce one person and help the two leaders." "

"Who's the referral?".

"Pei Renji, the general of Bishui Pass!".

Zhai Rang and Li Mi were stunned for a moment, and the two of them were surprised in their hearts, Li Mi asked: "Pei Renji, as the main general, has the courage of ten thousand people, among the millions of troops, taking the head of the general, like probing the bag and taking things, does he really have the heart of obedience?"

Jia Yanfu said: "The two leaders don't know, the emperor drove out of the customs, Xijing Daxing was governed by the emperor's grandson Yang Yu, the eastern capital Luoyang was governed by the emperor's grandson Yang Tong, and the two little emperors and grandsons were in the court, how could they control the ministers and distinguish between right and wrong? Now Pei Renji's food and salary have been interrupted, and Yang Tong has sent an order to send troops, which is already extremely embarrassing, so he has a heart of obedience. "

Zhai Rang and Li Mi were on the occasion of recruiting talents, praised them repeatedly, and invited Jia Yanfu to go to the front of the pass together, recruit Pei Renji, and recover the Bishui Pass.

The next day, hundreds of thousands of rebel troops roared in, and there was a sea of people in front of Bishui Pass. Pei Renji came to the head of the city and looked down at the city, the rebel army was menacing, and then looked at the officers and troops on the left and right, all of them were looking forward to it. Pei Renji had long been disheartened by the eastern capital of Luoyang, and ordered the gate to be opened and surrendered.

The city gate opened, and an army lined up on both sides, and Pei Renji urged the horse out of the pass, but he did not bring weapons. When he came closer, Pei Renji took off a human head from the saddle, threw it on the ground, and then hugged his fists and said: "The messenger of the Eastern Capital has been beheaded, and Pei Mou has dedicated his way to Shun." "

Pei Renji turned over and dismounted, kneeling down to bow to the leader of the Wagang Army. Zhai Rang, Li Mi and everyone also dismounted to help Pei Renji, and the rebel army entered the Bishui Pass together. That's it:

The Great Sui Dynasty was crumbling, and the anger of 100,000 hungry people was high.

The sparks are burning all over the world, and the hearts of the people are attached to the tiger prison.

The Bishui Pass was lost, the reputation of the Wagang Army was greatly enhanced, and the anti-Sui rebel armies from all walks of life defected to the Wagang Army.

Lost the danger, the Wagang army marched into the hinterland of the Central Plains, and for a time the eastern capital Luoyang was in an emergency, and the military department quickly reported and sent it to the Jiangdu Palace.

At this time, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and the Manchu Dynasty were on the road, and it was Xu Guogong Yuwenshu who was in charge of the affairs of the military department.

The defense of the eastern capital of Luoyang was attacked by the rebel army, and Yu Wenshu felt like a demon in his heart, holding the report tightly in his hand and looking out uneasily.

Yuwenshu's two sons, Yu Wenhua, Yu Wenzhi, and saw that their father's face was wrong, so they went to inquire, Yuwenshu sat on the carriage worriedly, and sighed: "Before leaving the customs, the old man promised the emperor that the thieves had been wiped out, and now the Wagang thieves have taken the Bishui Pass, and it seems that the eastern capital is in danger." "

Yu Wenhua said: "If the eastern capital Luoyang is really lost, I am afraid that the emperor will not be able to spare his father." "

"Yes, that's what the old man is worried about. "

Yuwen Zhiji said: "The emperor has a temperament, listen to the joy or not the worry, this matter must not be passed on to the emperor." "

"Hmm. In desperation, Yu Wenshu put away the military department, concealed the military situation, and told his two sons to keep their mouths shut and not to pass on the true battle report.

Although an urgent performance of the loss of Bishui Pass was detained, the urgent documents were one after another, and the eastern capital Luoyang was in danger and imminent, and the unfavorable news was finally paper-incapable.
