Shi Jingtang sent the Forbidden Army general Li Jinquan and a thousand cavalry to Anzhou, promising not to hold him responsible for the mutiny and appointing him as the governor of Tangzhou. To appease Anzhou and stabilize the rear.
After a brief period of chaos, the situation of the war became clear again: the main frontal battlefield was still Huazhou; the secondary battlefield was Sishui Pass. Like Wang Hui, all the heroes in the world are closely watching the situation in Huazhou and Si Shuiguang. Once Fan Yanguang makes good progress, they may launch a mutiny to seize power, and then surrender to Fan Yanguang one after another in order to gain official status as the "Founding Father" Enter the nobility and enjoy the glory and wealth.
Fan Yanguang is the main conflict with Shi Jingtang, and as for Lou Jiying, the three Wen brothers, etc., they are all fence-sitters who can't be burned out by wild fire and revived by spring breeze.
But on the front line of Huazhou, a big chaos almost happened.
When the news came that Huazhou Fu Yanrao was good at killing Bai Fengjin, the fighting will of the main force was also dangerously shaken. The soldiers persuaded the coach Yang Guangyuan to take the lead and expressed their willingness to support him as emperor.
This scene is very similar to "Mingzong's entry into Wei". Fan Yanguang is equivalent to Zhao Zaili, and Yang Guangyuan is Li Siyuan.
However, Yang Guangyuan was filled with righteous indignation and scolded his subordinates, "Since ancient times, has there ever been a bald emperor with broken arms or a crippled queen? The emperor is not used by you for speculation, but for loyalty! The surrender of Jin'an Village was really forced. If two people were born today, The heart is the real rebel!" So no one among his subordinates dared to speak nonsense.
When these words reached Bianzhou, Shi Jingtang was so moved that he burst into tears.
Yang Guangyuan was from Shatuo. His father's name was Ah Dichu, and he was a squad leader under Li Keyong. Yang Guangyuan's original name was A Tan. When he grew up, he only had the character "tan" as his first name and no surname. After Li Siyuan ascended the throne, he changed his name to "Li Yu". Although "tan" (sounds the same as "tan") and "亶" (sounds the same as "gall") have different pronunciations, they are written similarly, so he also wanted to avoid taboos, so he changed his name to "Yang Guangyuan" ".
In his early years, he fought with Zhou Dewei in Youzhou, broke an arm, and was abandoned. He also suffered from severe hair loss due to a skin disease, which he mocked as "bald and broken arms."
However, Yang Guangyuan was a ruthless man from Shatuo. Even if he broke an arm, he was still braver than a person with intact limbs, so he was re-employed and joined the army with one arm.
During the expedition against the royal capital of Dingzhou, this one-armed general captured the famous Khitan general Zila and more than ten people alive, which shocked the Khitan. There is a rumor among the Khitan army that there is a one-armed ruthless man in the Central Plains.
Yang Guangyuan was then stationed on the northern border and had a long-term confrontation with the Khitan.
During the Hedong War, Li Congke ordered Zhang Jingda to take command, with Yang Guangyuan as his deputy. After being besieged Jin'an Village, with no food and grass and no reinforcements, Yang Guangyuan and his generals persuaded Zhang Jingda to surrender. Zhang Jingda refused to surrender, so he was killed by Yang Guangyuan and others, and then surrendered to the Khitan.
When Yelu Deguang saw Yang Guangyuan, he deliberately teased him and sincerely set a trap for him and made a fool of him. Yelu Deguang first looked him up and down, then nodded and said in a tone of appreciation and admiration: "It is indeed well-deserved. , he is a ruthless person!"
Yang Guangyuan was secretly happy, and then he pretended to be humble and asked Yelu Deguang for advice: "How do you know that I am a one-armed ruthless man?"
He thought that Yelu Deguang would say some touching words about heroes cherishing heroes. Unexpectedly, Yelu Deguang said sarcastically in a tone full of sarcasm and ridicule: "You don't need cheese and salt as condiments, but you eat ten thousand war horses. You are really cruel."
It implies that he had 50,000 elites and 10,000 horses, but he did not dare to resist and surrendered.
Immediately, Yelu Deguang laughed "haha", and Yang Guangyuan was ashamed and bowed down in embarrassment.
After Yelu Deguang smiled, he glanced at him sideways with contempt and asked contemptuously: "Hey, you ruthless man, are you afraid?"
"Very scared."
Yelu Deguang was satisfied and continued to insult him, "What are you afraid of?"
At this time, another of Yang Guangyuan's abilities appeared on the stage of history-possession by the movie king.
Yang Guangyuan looked sad, with an expression of concern for the country and the people, and no self-interest but benefit to others, "I'm afraid that our emperor will be caught outside the Great Wall and be humiliated."
The Lord is worried about the labor of his ministers, and the Lord humiliates his ministers to death.
Yelu Deguang was in awe of Yang Guangyuan, but he didn't expect that he was still a loyal minister! So he said: "You can pull him down! We Khitan don't have that much food to feed your monarchs and ministers. Don't think too much. The people of the Central Plains still have the final say in the Central Plains. You can serve your new master (Shi Jingtang) well in the future."
When Yelu Deguang helped Shi Jingtang form a cabinet, in addition to naming Sang Weihan, Zhao Ying and others, he also specifically mentioned Yang Guangyuan, saying that this man is brave and invincible and very loyal, and you must make good use of him.
Therefore, Shi Jingtang appointed Yang Guangyuan as the military envoy of the Xuanwu Army in Bianzhou and the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army (the commander of the guard Ma Bu Army). After being trained by Yelu Deguang, the best actor Yang Guangyuan is well versed in expression management, so he often looks unhappy, as if he has someone to hate.
Shi Jingtang thought he was dissatisfied with the reward, so he sent someone to talk to him privately and asked him insinuatingly what he was dissatisfied with.
Yang Guangyuan then showed off his acting skills again, saying that he was already extremely rich, what else could he be dissatisfied with? It's just that Comrade Zhang Jingda deserved to die, but now I am living an ignoble existence, feeling extremely ashamed and suffering. It is really worse than death!
In and out of words, he said that he was as loyal as Martyr Zhang Jingda, but he was thinking of the lives of fifty thousand brothers, violated his original intention, surrendered with hatred, and was willing to be humiliated.
Shi Jingtang further believed that Yang Guangyuan was a loyal minister who could take the overall situation into consideration. After all, without Yang Guangyuan's timely surrender, the 50,000 people in Jin'an Village would have consumed many fresh troops from Hedong. If Zhao Dejun and others came to support and the Khitans returned north ruthlessly, the consequences would be really unimaginable.
As a result, Shi Jingtang respected Yang Guangyuan even more.
Yang Guangyuan was bald and had broken arms, and his wife had disabled legs and feet, so Yang Guangyuan used the words "Emperor with a bald head and broken arms" and "Cripple Queen" at the Huazhou front to teach the generals to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, which made Shi Jingtang burst into tears with gratitude. From then on, "Youjia" Favored."
This "great loyal minister" will also have some spectacular deeds in the future, which will be detailed later.
Yang Guangyuan stabilized the morale of the frontline troops, and then launched a decisive battle with the main force of the Weizhou rebels. Yang Guangyuan repeated his old tricks and used the old idea of the Hedong War - luring the enemy deep and catching the turtle in the urn. This time, he succeeded.
Sun Rui and Feng Hui fell into Yang Guangyuan's temptation and rushed forward, crossing the river to catch up. Yang Guangyuan seized the opportunity and attacked the thieves halfway across the river. Three thousand of the 20,000 rebels were killed in an instant. Sun Rui had already lost the morale of the army. Now, the army collapsed instantly and fled in all directions. Many people were drowned. Sun Rui and Feng Hui fled back to Weizhou.
Huazhou and Liyang front lines achieved great victories. Yang Guangyuan took advantage of the victory to pursue and surrounded Weizhou.
