Li Mi strongly opposed fighting with the main force of the Sui army. He knew that although there were more than 100,000 rebels, most of them were deluded civilians and scattered soldiers, making it difficult to compete with the main force of the Sui army.

But Yang Xuangan was hesitant and troubled. At this time, another detective came to report:"Qu Tu Gai was ordered to be the vanguard and is speeding up the march. The vanguard is pointed at Hongnong."

Yang Xuangan clenched his fist and banged the table, saying:"Success or failure." In this one move, I would rather fight than flee."

"The Lord cannot fight decisively……"

Li Mi strongly objected, but Yang Xuangan didn't take these words to heart at all. Seeing that he could not persuade him, Li Mi had no choice but to follow Yang Xuangan and mobilize all his troops to fight against Qu Tutong brothers.

Outside the rebel camp, the rebellious officers and soldiers and the civilians who followed them, known as an army of 100,000, were all well-fed and lined up in front of the camp. Yang Xuangan immediately rode in front of the formation, and soon after waiting, he saw brothers Qu Tutong and Qu Tugai commanding tens of thousands of elite soldiers, swarming in. The two armies lined up for dozens of miles, with flags fluttering, dust flying, and murderous intent.

Qu Tutong was a battle-hardened general. He set up his battle formation and took a closer look at the rebel formation. Although there were many officers and soldiers, most of them were revolting civilians. They had different weapons, including swords, guns, sticks, sticks, spades and oars, and their clothes were chaotic. , mixed.

This uneven rebel army gave Qu Tutong some confidence, and he shouted loudly to Yang Xuangan:"You bold Yang Xuangan, incited the people, bewitched the people, gathered people to rebel, is it a crime?"

"snort! Yang Xuangan replied:"Yang Guang is unethical, resorts to military warfare, has heavy corvee labor, and has lost all people's hearts. I am doing justice for heaven. What crime do I have to do?" Qutu

Channel:"Under the guise of an uprising, it is a major crime to confuse and cause chaos in all directions. Your majesty will be destroyed today!""

Yang Xuangan laughed and said:"What people want should not be trivial. The victory or defeat of today's battle will be recorded in history. After saying this, Yang Xuangan waved his hand and the war drums beat. Yang Xuanting said:"My little brother is willing to take the lead!""

"OK, let’s go to battle!"

Yang Xuanting came out to fight. Qu Tugai, one of the officers and soldiers, raised his arms to fight. The two fought for more than ten rounds. Yang Xuanting was Qu Tugai's opponent. Qu Tugai jumped off his horse. Yang Xuanting folded his arms and ran away. , at this time Qu Tutong put up his bow and arrow,"Whoosh!""With a sound, it hit Yang Xuanting in the back of his heart. With a scream, Yang Xuanting died.

When Yang Xuangan saw that his brother was killed in battle, he was furious and said,"Good thief, take your life!" He urged his horse and raised his sword, and went straight to Qu Tu Gai to avenge him. Qu Tu Gai showed no sign of weakness, and the two fought another battle. They fought for twenty rounds without a winner, but Yang Xuangan was still not Qu Tu Gai. The opponent could only parry, but had no power to fight back.

The younger brother Yang Xuanzang, who was holding the battle, saw that the situation was not good, shouted loudly, and all three armies rushed towards the official army.

Seeing the rebels coming, Qu Tutong also waved his troops towards them. , the shouts of killing startled the sky in an instant, beacon smoke filled the air, swords and swords were shining, the sky was dark and the earth was dark, hundreds of thousands of people were killed, pieces of armor flew horizontally, and blood surged like a fountain. It can be said: the decisive battle on Mansepo in Guanzhong, and the tragic songs were heard on Tongguan Road. The dust wind wolves roared and corpses were thrown into the wild, At dusk, drum birds fell into the river in terror.

Trumpets soared into the sky, swords flashed, and banners blocked out the sun. The cries of murder were harsh. The rebellion against the Sui Dynasty became a prestige, and there were many heroes in the uprising...

In a bloody battle, brothers Qu Tutong and Qu Tugai won a complete victory. , more than half of the 100,000 rebels were killed and Yang Xuangan was defeated and retreated. He left the battlefield and had to find another way out.

Along the way, there were wounded soldiers and no morale. The following people who escaped from the battle were everywhere. Li Mi saw Yang Xuangan riding on Immediately he became dejected, urged his horse to walk a few steps quickly, and caught up with Yang Xuangan. Li Mi admonished him:"Although my lord has lost the battle and still has tens of thousands of soldiers, it is better to go north to the Taihang Mountains to avoid the army.

Yang Xuangan said:"I raised an army to rebel against the Sui Dynasty. Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists. If I flee into the mountains, wouldn't I be like a bandit? Xuangan will never flee into the mountains." Li

Mi sighed and advised:"The officers and soldiers are in full swing. It is difficult to retreat from the enemy if we pursue them all the way.""

The two men were discussing, and Yang Xuangan's younger brother Yang Jishan came on horseback and said,"I'm telling you, brother, Lai Hu'er has led his troops to land at the Yellow River ferry and is pursuing us. Before Li

Mi opened his mouth, Yang Xuangan said:"We came just in time. The navy came to protect our son from thousands of miles away. They traveled day and night without stopping. We took advantage of his fatigue to attack him in one fell swoop.""Then he turned his horse's head to convey the order to the soldiers. Yang Xuanzang and Yang Jishan were the vanguard and came to protect the children.

Yang Xuanzang and Yang Jishan led the troops forward and advanced along the mountain road. They saw several inscriptions carved on the stone walls on the mountain:"Guo Yangling"". The mountains are covered with grass and thorns.

Yang Xuanzong looked at the three words"Guoyangling" and thought to himself that my Yang family was rebelling. This is"Guoyangling" and it will definitely help me climb over this mountain. To Yang Jishan He said:"Eldest brother asked us to go forward. This mountain is called 'Guoyang Ridge'. The name of the mountain is auspicious, so we can enter the mountain from here.""

The large group of people walked into 'Guoyangling'. Yang Jishan looked around and advised:"I think this mountain is dangerous and cannot be entered any further."

"Why? Yang Xuanzong asked

"The characters for sheep and Yang have the same pronunciation. This place is too steep to pass, and it is not known yet. The name of the place is ominous, so it is better to find another way.

Yang Xuanzong said:"Are you afraid of coming to protect your child?" Lai's father and his son were tired from the march. They expected that he might not be able to reach Yangling first, so they boldly entered the mountain without any worries."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of fallen leaves and branches, and suddenly saw ambushes appearing on all sides. Yang Xuanzong reined in his horse and shouted:"No! There is an ambush in this mountain!"

In an instant, there were loud shouts and flags waving in all directions. It was the reinforcements coming to protect the children who were ambushing them here. With their swords in their hands, the guardians shouted orders from the top of the mountain. Arrows and crossbows rained down from all directions, shooting at the rebels. The mountain road was narrow and the team was long. , it was chaos, with countless casualties. Yang Xuanzang and Yang Jishan retreated in a hurry, but were squeezed into the crowd by the accompanying soldiers, staggering. When

Lai Huer saw the chaos of the rebels, he raised his halberd and shouted to the soldiers:"Kill the rebels, just Today!"The officers and soldiers under his command rushed out together and fought towards the mountains. They beat the rebels and made them run away with their heads covered. They were defeated like a mountain. When

Yang Xingan saw the chaos in the front army, he had to hurriedly send an order to withdraw the troops. Suddenly he heard the sound of horse hooves, and the Sixth Young Master Laizheng led the cavalry to rush out from the fork in the road. The rebels panicked and were attacked by the horses. They were cut in two, making it difficult to see the head and tail. Another easy kill, Yang Xuangan returned in defeat, losing countless soldiers.

Yang Xuangan retreated all the way, not knowing where to go. After traveling far, he saw Yang Jishan rushing towards him, Xuangan asked:"You are so panicked, what happened?"

"Brother, we were ambushed by people who came to protect our children."

"Then where is Yang Xuanzang?"

"The retreat is chaotic, and I am afraid that I will either die or be captured at this time."Yang Jishan said.

At this time, a school captain came and reported to Yang Xuangan:"Your Majesty, Wei Wensheng is leaving Daxing, and Li Yuan is leaving Hongnong. There is Qu Tutong blocking the road in front of him. Please make a decision, Lord."

"Ah!" Yang Xuangan exclaimed:"The big thing is over."

Yang Jishan said from the side:"The way to protect our children has been blocked. I heard that there is a road ahead to Jialu garrison, so we should go to Jialu garrison to take refuge first."When things came to this, Yang Xuangan had no choice but to do this. Everyone turned their horses and headed towards Jiali garrison.

Before they had gone far, another scout came to report:"My lord, something bad happened! Wei Wensheng's general Yin Shishi led his troops to pursue him. Seeing that Yang

Xuangan was desperate, Li Mi clasped his fists and said,"My lord, the situation is over. Wei Fusi and I are blocking the Yinshi master. My lord, please run for your life. Take care and take care of yourself.""

Yang Xuangan, who had fallen into despair, nodded in frustration, said goodbye to Li Mi and Wei Fusi, and divided his troops into two groups. Yang Xuangan led the remaining soldiers to Jiarushu.

When he reached Jialuzhu, he saw that there were only a few soldiers and horses left. After a while, many revolting people had no intention of fighting and fled in all directions along the way. Yang Xuangan looked exhausted and said listlessly to Yang Jishan:"I, the Yang family of Hongnong, are ancestors of the fourth and third generation. I must not be insulted by others. You can kill me.". Yang

Jishan cried:"For the current plan, my brother should hide in the mountains and forests in order to make a comeback in the future." Yang

Xuangan pulled out his sword and handed it to Yang Jishan, saying:"We have been defeated so far. I just want to die!""

Looking at Yang Xuangan's eyes as if he were dead, Yang Jishan took the sword with trembling hands. In desperation, Yang Jishan dropped the sword with tears in his eyes and chopped off Yang Xuangan's head. This is: It is said that many people will die in the Sui Dynasty, and everyone will be panicked if they rebel..

After the victory, the hatred of defeat still lingered, and the end was short-lived.

Yang Xuangan was dead, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court arrested the rebel cronies and wiped out the remaining troops. The good news was delivered quickly, and Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty returned to Luoyang, the eastern capital.

Queen Xiao Jun , Fan Zigai and other officials from the Eastern Capital came out of the city one after another. Although there were still some defeats after the battle outside the city, the court successfully quelled the chaos, and the joy of victory had washed away the bad luck. Empress Xiao personally greeted them, and the couple had not seen each other for a long time. , Yang Guang said:"The Queen was trapped in the Eastern Capital for a time, and it was all my fault."

"Your Majesty, why should you blame yourself? Now that we are facing internal and external troubles, and you are a concubine, you should stay with your Majesty, share the same hatred, and tide over the difficulties even in times of great difficulty."Xiao Jun said. After hearing this, Emperor Sui Yang was overjoyed and entered the city hand in hand with Queen Xiao Jun. Back in the palace, the couple sat across from each other, and Emperor Sui Yang said:"Yang Xuangan raised his troops to rebel, and he responded with a hundred responses. The momentum was huge and really hateful. Knowing today, the Yang Su clan should have been killed long ago"

"My concubine has another opinion. Queen Xiao said:"Yang Xuangan raised his arms and shouted, there were as many as one hundred thousand people who followed the chaos." The people rose up in rebellion, which shows what the people's support is. Now that the people's support is against them, Your Majesty should still put the people first and not lose the people's support."

"Um. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty said:"The Queen's words are very reasonable. I have my own conclusion.""

After listening to Xiao Jun's words, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty felt underestimated from time to time. He walked out of the palace thinking repeatedly, and ordered the palace servants Xuan Pei Yun and Yu Shiji to come to the imperial study. After receiving the decree, Pei Yun and Yu Shiji came to the imperial study. Paying homage to the Emperor. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty said:"One hundred thousand people followed Yang Xuangan's call. I just know how many people there are in the world. If there are many people, they will form gangs and become thieves. If they are not punished thoroughly, there will be endless troubles."

When Pei Yun and Yu Shiji heard this, they glanced at each other and couldn't help but shudder. They secretly thought about how the emperor was so unpredictable that he complained about the large number of people. It was really ridiculous.

Yu Shiji bowed and said:"Ignorance. There are only a few thirty thousand civilians, and no fewer than a thousand officers and soldiers are involved. The involvement is too huge and should not be done rashly.

Pei Yun also said:"Throughout the ages, the law has not punished everyone. It is better to punish all the nine clans of Yang Xuangan." People, we still need to take a long-term approach."

"snort!"Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty smashed his big hand on the Long Bookcase and shouted:"If the fire is not extinguished, it will start a prairie fire; if the waves don't stop, it will be overwhelming! I want to order twelve soldiers and horses to wipe out the banditry in the world."

Pei Yun and Yu Shiji saw that Yang Guanglong was so angry that he didn't dare to defend himself. They hurriedly knelt down and even claimed that they were right. They didn't dare to speak for the people anymore, so they had no choice but to let it go and obey the orders.

Yang Xuanzang, Yang Jishan, Wei Fusi, Li Zixiong and others were captured one after another, and all of them were executed without going into details. However, the number of people implicated in Yang Xuangan's rebellion was huge, and the number was staggering. Not only did the imperial court not treat the people leniently, but it investigated them rigorously.

In one moment, the two capitals were separated. Across the country, mournful voices spread, and the people were in dire straits. More than 30,000 people were beheaded for questioning, more than 6,000 people were exiled thousands of miles away, and countless people were wronged. Corpses were everywhere, and blood flowed into rivers. It can be said that between the two capitals, 30,000 people were seen in the distance. The corpses reflect the sky with sorrow.

If you don’t know where the people’s hearts are, how can you kill indiscriminately and with dignity?
