Yang Xuangan, his father is the famous Yang Su of the Sui Dynasty, in the process of pacifying Chen Guo, supporting Yang Guang, and suppressing Yang Liang's rebellion, Yang Su made great contributions, but also caused Yang Guang's jealousy, for the happiness of future generations, Yang Su did not see a doctor or take medicine when he was sick, so that he was seriously ill and died, so that he could barely exchange for the peace of Yang Xuangan's brothers.
After Yang Su died of illness, Yang Su's younger brother Yang Yue was very dissatisfied with Yang Guang's meanness and widowhood, and only made a few complaints in front of Yang Su's grave, and was demoted to a place.
As early as the time of Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Xuangan was already an official in the same dynasty as his father, and participated in the government as a pillar state, after Yang Su's death, Yang Xuangan attacked the Duke of Chu and moved to the Ministry of Rites, Yang Guang's love for him was no less than that of Yang Su before the seizure of the throne.
Yang Xuangan. Yang Xuangan is not Yang Su, his ambition is very big, from the Western Wei Dynasty to the Northern Zhou Dynasty to the Great Sui, the Guanlong nobles are used to seeing the alternation of imperial power, the division of dynasties, in the aristocratic circle, there is no one among the younger generation who can compare with him, his status is very high, his popularity is strong, and he also wants to addict the emperor.
And Yang Su's death intensified Yang Xuangan's hatred for Yang Guang, if Yang Xuangan only had the idea of usurping the country before Yang Su's death, after Yang Su's death, Yang Xuangan couldn't wait to put it into practice.
Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty gave him the best opportunity, the first expedition to Goguryeo, the loss of the army, the people are not happy, some people in Shandong even pulled up a team to rebel, only half a year later, Yang Guang began the second crusade against Goguryeo, deserters everywhere, the people resentment boiled.
However, Yang Xuangan unexpectedly became the logistics steward of the million-strong army, and was ordered to Liyang to supervise the transportation of grain and grass.
Liyang is very far away from the front line, because Yang Guang has been worried about the front line of the war, he does not care much about the things in the rear, and Yang Xuangan, who is responsible for supervising the transportation of grain and grass, also detains the grain and grass on the grounds that bandits are rampant, causing the victorious Sui army to stop in Liaodong City.
Temporarily trapped a million army with the problem of grain and grass, Yang Xuangan then recruited thousands of soldiers and horses, and raised troops in Liyang, and the reason for raising troops was very simple, resist.
Yang Xuangan mutinied!
The people enthusiastically participated, they have lived too hard in the past few years, rather than living in constant oppression, it is better to go to the battlefield to fight, maybe they can get ahead, and glorify their ancestors.
The reason why Yang Xuangan dared to rebel with thousands of people was not only because he saw through Yang Guang's tyranny, but also because he had an extremely dependent person, Li Mi.
Li Mi is a genius recommended to Yang Xuangan by Yang Su before his death, compared with Li Mi, Yang Xuangan is simply a big boss, he introduced Li Mi as a close friend, asked about everything, when he raised troops in Liyang, he invited Li Mi to join as soon as possible, and Li Mi is also a very ambitious person, of course, he will not miss this opportunity to become famous.
Li Mi. Li Mi gave Yang Xuangan three ways out.
The best policy: take advantage of Yang Guang's opportunity in Liaoning, quickly march into Jizhou with lightning speed, cut off his back road, Yang Guang is already sleepy at this time, lack of food and grass, and there is Goguryeo behind him, just stop him for a few days, the million army will be self-defeating, and Yang Guang will inevitably be captured.
Medium strategy: march into Guanzhong, occupy Chang'an, rely on the power of the Guanlong nobles to confront Yang Guang in Tongguan, and if successful, you can divide the world equally like the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou.
Strategy: With elite troops, raid the eastern capital Luoyang, Luoyang is already the core of the world at this time, and the shock of occupying Luoyang for the world is obvious, but Luoyang is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, once it cannot win quickly, it will definitely lead to defeat.
But in Yang Xuangan's view, Li Mi's next policy is the best policy, in Yang Xuangan's words: "Luoyang, which is close at hand, can't be beaten, so how can we fight the world?" ”
Typical Zhang Fei-style thinking!
Yang Xuangan sent troops to Luoyang in three ways, and the Luoyang guard general Fan Zigai sent Da Xi Kindness and Pei Hongce to meet the attack, but Da Xi Kindness ran away as soon as he arrived on the battlefield, and Yang Xuangan, who was lacking **, did not get a lot of equipment without an arrow, Pei Hongce fought with Yang Xuanting, did not fight, and also lost his armor and fled in a hurry, and let Yang Xuanting's army collect a lot.
In order to establish military prestige, Fan Zigai slashed Pei Hongce, who had lost the battle, which scared the soldiers of Luoyang City, and no one was willing to stand up for battle anymore, some people were worried that Fan Zigai would be angry and kill people indiscriminately, so he simply defected to Yang Xuangan, who was on the rise, and Yang Xuangan, who was on the rise, suddenly felt that he was omnipotent.
However, Yang Xuangan did not capture Luoyang City as scheduled, but was trapped here, Li Mi's previous surprise attack on Luoyang was beaten by him into a tough battle, Yang Guang's million army could not defeat a Liaodong City, not to mention that Yang Xuangan attacked Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Great Sui.
When Yang Xuangan was dragged in Luoyang City, Wei Wensheng had already dug up Yang Su's grave, and after crushing the bones and ashes, he took an army of 70,000 people east out of Daxing City and ran towards Yang Xuangan, and the crusading army that came to Hu'er had also withdrawn from the Goguryeo front line and surrounded and suppressed Yang Xuangan under the instruction of Yang Guang.
Yang Xuangan's real crisis has come, he re-examines the battle situation, and targets Wei Wensheng, who is the first to reach the battlefield, in the first battle against Wei Wensheng, Yang Xuangan rushed left and right, defeated the Sui army, and killed tens of thousands of people.
The short victory did not give Yang Xuangan much time to celebrate, Qu Tutong's army has arrived on the north bank of the Yellow River, Qu Tutong is not Wei Wensheng, he is the general of the Great Sui, his ability is very strong, in order to deal with Qu Tutong, Yang Xuangan had to divide his soldiers and horses into three.
Qu Tu passed the army to the Yellow River.
Yang Xuangan's strength was originally at a disadvantage compared to the Sui army, and now it is divided into three, and the battle situation is very unfavorable.
Yang Xuangan claimed to have broken through the eastern capital Luoyang, and led his soldiers to Daxing City.
But he was dragged to Hongnong again, and Yang Zhiji, the general of Hongnong, only scolded Yang Xuangan for a few words, and took food as the **, so he left Yang Xuangan's army under Hongnong City, Yang Xuangan was very dissatisfied with the unwarranted humiliation, and immediately ordered to attack Hongnong to vent his personal anger.
No matter how much Li Mi persuaded him, Yang Xuangan didn't listen, he was already carried away by anger and gave up thinking.
Attacked Hongnong for three days, Yang Xuangan still did not capture, at this time he came from the anger **, and began to continue to advance westward, and Qu Tutong, Laihu'er and others behind him had already caught up, and there was no chance to enter Guanzhong at all.
Come to protect the child. Yang Xuangan had no choice but to fight a decisive battle with the Sui army, with a small Bo Da, Yang Xuangan had no chance of winning, so he could only flee with his younger brother Yang Jishan, under the persuasion of Yang Xuangan, Yang Jishan killed him with a knife, and was captured by the Sui army when he committed suicide.
Although Yang Xuangan is dead, Yang Jishan is alive, and he thinks that Yang Jishan, who stabbed Yang Xuangan, can get Yang Guang's forgiveness, but he was very wrong, Yang Xuangan rebelled, and the worst death was his younger brother.
Yang Xuangan's other brothers, friends and subordinates who did not participate in the rebellion were all purged, and Li Mi and Wang Bodang, as Yang Xuangan's close comrades-in-arms, were of course also taken to Chang'an and ready to be sentenced to death at any time.
Li Mi is a smart man, he is not willing to die, on the way to escort, Li Mi bribed the escorted ** with a lot of money, so that they relaxed their vigilance, and from time to time they had to invite them to drink wine and eat meat, when the escort ** was drunk, Li Mi and Wang Bodang quietly left, and wandered into the rivers and lakes.
And Yang Guang, after defeating Yang Xuangan, began to think about the conquest of Goguryeo again.
