On the twenty-first day of the first lunar month of the fifth year of Longxing in the Sui Dynasty, Yang Gongren, the governor of Jingzhou in the Sui Dynasty, summoned the generals at all levels of the Jiangling garrison on the pretext of having a purpose to support Bashu in the war. He suddenly launched a mutiny and killed Chang Shi and the Jiangling garrison who refused to obey.
Yang Gongren immediately ordered that the Sui army flag on Jiangling City be changed to the flag of the Tang Dynasty, calling himself the King of Chu of the Tang Dynasty, and leading the Ministry of War.
After the mutiny, Yang Gongren quickly sent his confidants to lead the army northward, hoping to quickly capture Xiangyang and guard the Han River before the news leaked out.
Fortunately, the rebels were not united. Not long after they left Jiangling, someone left the team and rushed to Xiangyang to report the news. Xiangyang guard Mai Mengcai immediately closed the city gate and saved Xiangyang City.
As soon as the news of the Jiangling Mutiny spread, the whole of Jingxiang was shocked.
. . . . . . . . . .
Snapped!
Yang Gao looked unkind and slapped the table hard. Yang Gongren's mutiny really caught him off guard. Only then did he remember that Yang Gongren and Li Yuan had a close friendship in history, and that he and his brother Yang Shidao had become prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty.
The impact of Yang Gongren's rebellion was extremely bad. A high-ranking local official in the imperial court and a clan member actually rebelled against the Sui Dynasty and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Yang Gao's prestige.
Jiangling's geographical location is also extremely important. It controls Bashu in the west. If the rebellion in Jiangling expands, it will inevitably affect the war between Bashu and Li Shimin.
Liu Bowen, Fang Xuanling, and Chen Ping also realized the seriousness of the matter and advised Yang Gao that Yang Gongren's rebellion should be put down quickly.
"I have sent a message to Yang Yanzhao on a flying pigeon, ordering him to quickly lead his army south to put down the rebellion!"
At present, Li Jing's main force is confronting Li Shimin at Jianmen Pass. Qin Qiong and Di Qing's troops heading south are still resting and reorganizing. After all calculations, they can only use Yang Yanzhao's troops. Seeing that Yang Gao has taken emergency measures, Liu Bowen and others immediately Resigned.
"In order to support major battlefields in recent years, I have transferred many outstanding generals from Yang Yanzhao's command. This time, I will leave a considerable number of generals to garrison and guard Guanzhong. It seems that I need to summon a few new generals to inject new strength into Yang Yanzhao's regiment. blood."
Yang Gao thought to himself, then opened the system and sent the command: "Check the existing soul points for me, I want to summon."
"Ding dong, the current host has 482 soul points. Please give instructions to the host."
"482, can be summoned twice."
Yang Gao touched his chin and thought secretly.
The summoned characters could not be implanted in the area according to Yang Gao's wishes, but Yang Gao then thought about it. Yang Gongren had just raised the flag of rebellion, and people were not unified. He still needed time to organize and squeeze out thousands of people to attack Xiangyang. Already the limit. Even if the summoned characters are elsewhere, Yang Gao still has time to dispatch them to the front line for support or to garrison in Nanyang.
Of course, if the summoned character happened to be under Yang Yanzhao's command, it would be Yang Gao's luck.
"Use two hundred soul points to summon, focusing on force."
"Ding dong, the host uses 200 soul points to summon the force. The character is being selected for the host to summon. Please wait patiently..."
"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for acquiring Wei Boyu, a famous general in the mid-Tang Dynasty, with a command of 88, a force of 97, an intelligence of 74, and a politics of 69. The current implanted identity is the captain of the Jiangdu Imperial Guard."
Yang Gao didn't know Wei Boyu very well, but he vaguely remembered that he was a general who quelled the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty. Judging from this, this fourth dimension was probably between him and Li Siye, a fierce general of the same period.
Yang Gao immediately made a stroke of his pen, and Wei Boyu, the captain of the imperial guard army, was highly skilled in martial arts. He was specially promoted to a partial general and transferred to the command of Yang Yanzhao in Nanyang.
"Use another 200 soul points to summon, focusing on force."
"Ding dong, the host uses 200 soul points to summon the force. The character is being selected for the host to summon. Please wait patiently..."
"Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for acquiring the famous Southern Song Dynasty general Han Shizhong, with a command score of 97, a force of 98, an intelligence of 81, and a politics of 78. The current implanted identity is General Yang Yanzhao."
"Han Liangchen is here, hahaha, okay!"
When Yang Gao heard this, he immediately became happy: "My luck is good. I directly planted Han Liangchen under Yang Yanzhao, which saved me a lot of effort."
Among the four generals of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhang Jun was greedy for money and framed Yue Fei, which was disgraceful. Liu Guangshi was even more of a runaway general, and only Han Shizhong was qualified to be on an equal footing with Yue Wumu.
Han Shizhong was born in Pinghan, and he fought against Xixia and pacified Fangla. He traveled north and south, resisted the Jin soldiers, and became famous. In the Battle of Huang Tiandang, 8,000 soldiers defeated 100,000 Jin soldiers, forcing Jin Wushu to almost despair, which greatly encouraged the people of Jianghuai to resist Jin soldiers.
Han Shizhong managed the army strictly, and his Han Jiajun was as famous as the Yue Jiajun. He transformed ordnance and created tactics. His contribution to the Southern Song Dynasty was no less than that of Yue Wumu.
It is a pity that the court was incompetent, treacherous ministers were in power, and the generals were late in life. They were repeatedly attacked by Qin Hui's gang. The next generation of famous generals withdrew from the stage in frustration. They called themselves Qingliang laymen and indulged in visiting the West Lake, which was regrettable.
. . . . . . . . . .
The words were divided into two parts. After Yang Yanzhao received Yang Gao's flying pigeon letter, he did not dare to hesitate. In fact, he was also ready to go to war. He left Master Shang and Xin Wenli to guard Nanyang, while Hu Yanzan and Zhou Ben were in charge. In Wuguan, with his younger brother Yang Yansi as the vanguard and Xu Wei as the military advisor, accompanied by generals Han Shizhong and Qu Neng, they led 35,000 elite soldiers south to put down the rebellion.
The dead of winter has passed, and although there is still a bit of chill in the air, Yang Yanzhao's Nanyang Corps has been recuperating for many years. Watching the other major corps making contributions on the battlefield, it has already been gearing up to wait for the wind, and the cold wind has not stopped it at all. The officers and men should never cease to have the desire to make meritorious deeds.
Pioneer Yang Yansi's troops advanced rapidly, crossing the Han River in a few days and arriving at Xiangyang City. After hearing that the guard general Mai Mengcai said that the rebels attacking Xiangyang had looted many villages and towns outside the city yesterday, they immediately led two thousand elite cavalry in pursuit.
After a day and night of fighting, Yang Yansi's troops caught up with the rebels, and a melee broke out between the two armies.
Yang Yansi bravely defeated the three armies and challenged eight rebel generals in front of the battle line. The rebels were all frightened and were defeated by Yang Yansi's army. This battle immediately shocked the hearts of Jing Xiang.
Yang Yanzhao also led his army to Xiangyang and began to discuss how to quell the Jiangling rebels.
"Everyone, His Majesty's imperial edict orders us to quickly put down Yang Gongren's rebellion. We must not let the Jiangling rebellion spread to Bashu and affect General Li Jing's operations!"
Yang Yanzhao sat in the upper seat, looked around the generals in the hall, and finally turned his attention to Xiangyang guard Mai Mengcai: "General Mai, you have been stationed in Xiangyang for a long time, adjacent to Jiangling, and you know the situation in Jiangling best. Why don't you go first? Let’s talk.”
