Day 290 Accepting disciples(1/2)

Luo Shixin was sailing on the Yellow River, approaching the other side. He changed his mind and asked the boatman to flow south along the Tongji Canal. He had no clear purpose. He seemed to just want to stay away from this sad place, but Xingyang and Jiyin counties were occupied by Wagang, which strangled the river channel of Tongji Canal. Now the water and land routes are full of bandits.
The Wagang did not fish in the dry pond, nor did it cut off traffic. Instead, it allowed merchants to travel. Just crossing the river and collect taxes, so naturally it would make a lot of money.
When he was about to arrive at the Tongji Canal, Luo Shixin did not want to contact the bandits in Wagang, so he simply went down the Yellow River and arrived near Jindi Pass. He found that the flags were waving, all of which were the banners of the Great Sui Dynasty. He asked in surprise: "Boatman. Which of the love soldiers here are there?"
The boatman was an old man over fifty years old. His beard was gray and his muscles were strong. When he heard Luo Shixin's question, he sighed and said, "This is the army led by the Taipu Qing Lord Yang. I was ferrying on the Yellow River. I watched Lord Yang take his troops to Shandong first. I heard that he was going to attack Dou Jiande. But within a few days, he turned around and attacked Wagang. I believe everyone knows that the terrain here is more important. Wagang has blocked Xingyang and the emperor cannot come back. How can I not be anxious?"
Luo Shixin didn't expect that a boatman knew a lot. He asked in a low voice: "Why is Lord Yang stationed here? Could he..."
"Wagang is too powerful now. I heard that they opened warehouses and released grain. In the past few months, nearly 200,000 bandits have gathered. The momentum is simply amazing. Lord Yang has only tens of thousands of soldiers. How can he fight?"
Luo Shixin said lightly and stopped asking.
The boatman's eyes were blurred and he went down the river. He just needed to take the helm and talked, "If you want to talk about this Lord Yang, you are also a capable person. But compared to General Zhang, it's still a little worse than that..."
Hearing the three words of General Zhang, Luo Shixin felt unbearable pain in his chest with a heavy blow, and gently stroked his chest. He looked at the vast river.
"General Zhang is brave and resourceful, and has never been defeated. If he is still there, even if there are only tens of thousands of people, he will not take everyone in Wagang seriously. As long as he attacks, why should Wagang be afraid? It's a pity that he died in the battle at Dahai Temple. But it's said that... he died in the battle because his subordinates betrayed him. General Zhang has three powerful generals... Luo Shixin, Cheng Yaojin and Qin Shubao. They were all very trusted by General Zhang. But they didn't expect that they would betray General Zhang. They plotted against General Zhang in Dahai Temple, which made General Zhang die. It was really a scorpion-hearted heart. Pigs and dogs were not as good as! Such people, even if they succeeded for a while, God would not like him. They would probably take it away."
The boatman said this, he was excited and spitting everywhere.
Luo Shixin looked confused, but nodded, "Boatman. You are right. Luo Shixin is originally despicable and shameless. Pigs and dogs are worse than land beasts. But I think he is alive. I am afraid he is even more sad than death!"
The boatman focused his attention. "The guest official said it was extremely true, and he was scolded by thousands of people. This feeling was even more uncomfortable. By the way, I don't know where the guest official was going?"
Luo Shixin looked at the water surface that was far away from the sky and said for a while: "Let's talk about it after passing Liyang."
When the boat arrived in Liyang along the river, Luo Shixin got off the boat and walked south swayingly.
Along the way, my physical strength gradually recovered, but my sorrow did not decrease at all.
Although he had money in his pocket, he just dug some wild vegetables and hunted for a living. The journey was so hard that he felt like beggars.
But Luo Shixin has been practicing martial arts since childhood and has a very good foundation. When he arrived in Dongping County, he had already recovered his energy. However, he was still thin and haggard.
On this day, I arrived at a village. When I passed by a restaurant, I heard the spits flying in it. "If you want to talk about this hero of the world, it must be Li Mi. Although Zhang Xutuo claimed to be the number one general of the Sui Dynasty, he was frightened after all. After all, he was in the hands of Li Mi, and he was still unable to save his life."
One person continued: "Li Mi is very strong, but Brother Xu is not bad either. During these days, Brother Xu has raised his flag and followed him. Let's go to Brother Xu now. I heard that Brother Xu is so skilled in martial arts. Even if Zhang Xu does not die at Li Mi's hands, he will die at Brother Xu."
The man was happy, but as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a beggar-like man standing in front of his ground. He was shocked and said disgustedly: "What are you doing?"
Luo Shixin slapped it with a punch. The whole table was scattered, and four people sat around the table. Seeing this, they all jumped up and said angrily: "Boy, what are you doing?"
Luo Shixin said in a desolate voice: "Who said that General Zhang had a false reputation just now?"
"I said it, what can you do?" A man shouted loudly with a big head.
"I don't allow it!" Luo Shixin just stretched out his hand and grabbed his chest. He waved his arms and waved it out. The man flew up in the air and hit the wall heavily. He vomited blood and fainted.
Everyone was about to come forward, shocked and unable to move. They saw Luo Shixin's face haggard. It seemed like a gust of wind could blow down. Who would have thought that he had such great strength?
"What are you going to do?" everyone asked.
Luo Shixin sneered, "You can say that General Zhang is so arrogant because of your few pieces of information? No one dares to say that when General Zhang is alive, and no one can say that he is dead. I will hear you rats mention General Zhang's name again and cut off your tongue." He walked out. Everyone looked at each other, and suddenly one of them shouted in a low voice: "He is Luo Shixin, a subordinate of General Zhang. I recognize him. In front of the Dahai Temple, he stole General Zhang's body and killed countless people. No one dared to stop him, but he was very strong at the beginning, but now he has not seen him for several months. Why has he become so thin?"
Everyone shivered and asked, "Didn't he betray Zhang Xutuo? Why did he come to protect Zhang Xutuo again?"
"The rumors cannot be believed all of them. I guess these are all rumors that Wagang is provoking dissent. Although Zhang Xutuo is dead, Luo Shixin is still trying his best to defend himself. How could he betray Zhang Xutuo?"
There were many different opinions. There was no consensus. Luo Shixin had heard it for a long time, but he strided forward. He did not look back, but his eyes were filled with tears.
Seeing a blacksmith shop not far ahead, dinging at the iron tool and sparks flew everywhere, Luo Shixin slowly walked forward, took out a ingot of silver and put it down, and said in a deep voice: "Put something for me."
The blacksmith glanced at Yinzi. "I don't know what the guest officer wants to build?"
Luo Shixin was as calm as a mountain. He said word by word: "Deadly spear!"
Jinti Pass is not far away. The army of love soldiers set up camps, deep ditches and high brigades. They are backed by the Yellow River, but they do not go out to fight.
Now that Jindi Pass is occupied by Wagang, Wagang sent a team of troops to set up camp in Anzhai. They depend on Jindi Pass and lie on the corners and vaguely form a siege. However, all the bandits were very afraid of the love soldiers. Among these famous generals of the Sui Dynasty, in addition to Zhang Xutuo, Yang Yichen has also been a disheartening figure over the years. As for Pei Renji and others, they are a little worse.
Yang Yichen personally led his troops to attack Wagang. Although the bandits were on guard, they were no longer too afraid. After all, Zhang Xutuo of the Great Sui Dynasty was all at the hands of Wagang. What is the mere Yang Yichen? But even if it were, the bandits still dared not go to the camp. They just siege from afar. Besides, the leader of the Wagang village and the Duke of Pushan had already issued orders and were not allowed to be ordered. No matter how Yang Yichen fought, they would not fight. They would only be siege.
But Yang Yichen has not only not fought for battle, but also the drums in the army have not sounded a few times. It really makes everyone wonder and not understand why.
Yang Yichen had not closed his eyes for several days and nights. He frowned and looked into the distance. He only saw bandits everywhere. He was so powerful that he was secretly shocked.
Since Wagang conquered Jindi Pass and occupied Xingyang County, he not only opened warehouses and released grain, but also had a lot of elite equipment.
Nowadays, the people of Wagang are no longer as poor as before, and they are holding rust knives and wooden sticks. They are scattered with one blow. Even if Yang Yichen has experienced many battles, he has to do it carefully.
But although there were many Wagang, he was most worried about it, but another thing. This place is not far from Dahai Temple. Thinking of this, Yang Yichen sighed lightly.
There was a major general standing beside him. Although he had an ordinary appearance, his armor was bright and he looked heroic. The major general kept staring at Yang Yichen, full of admiration. He heard him sigh. He couldn't help asking: "Mr. Yang, don't know what to worry about? Although there are many bandits, we can't fight steadily. We may not be able to wipe out it, let alone Mr. Pei, and there is Yang in the city of Xingyang. As long as we stick to this place, we are all strong. If we station here, it will be difficult for Wagang to develop. We cannot take the Dongdu. At that time, if the reinforcements of the Great Sui Dynasty come to the local dialect..."
Speaking of this, the major general kept his mouth and felt panic, thinking to himself that Wagang became famous in the battle. Now it is really powerful. All counties are in danger. It is impossible to send troops to rescue them. However, there are countless elite soldiers in the East Capital. It seems that only the East Capital sends troops to resolve the crisis here. But the emperor is far away in Yangzhou. Without orders, how could the East Capital send troops easily? But even though there are hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in the East, they are also very mocking.
Yang Yichen looked at the major general and whispered: "Runfu. What you said is that if the emperor was still in Dongdu, with his always majesty, what's the difficulty of quelling the crisis here? I sighed for this. Runfu, General Zhang... He died at the beginning... We must be careful of the lessons of the past."
The major general's eyes showed a gloomy look. He whispered: "My father followed General Zhang. Afterwards, General Zhang rushed in and out of the bandits, as if he had entered a no-man. But later he rescued his father. But because... because he was concerned about the whereabouts of the three generals under his command, he turned back to the siege of the bandits. But he didn't expect that he..."
The major general choked up when he talked about this. "My father was also seriously injured in front of Dahai Temple. He was rescued by General Zhang and then broke out of the siege. Later, he heard that General Zhang died. He became sick and died of depression."
There were tears flashing in Yang Yichen's eyes, and he whispered: "I know. Ling Zun is a man, so are you. You have not let down General Zhang's trust! When I heard the news of General Zhang's death, I was shocked first and then sad. I stopped moving here today..."
The major general is Jia Runfu, and his father is Jia Wuben. Jia Runfu has been following Yang Yichen, but Jia Wuben is the deputy general under Zhang Xutuo. Jia Runfu was sad and suddenly asked, "What is the point of not moving the troops?"
Yang Yichen sighed softly. "The bandits are so powerful. We should not act rashly. We are ambushed by the bandits. One of the most important points is. What can we do if we defeat the bandits? If the emperor does not turn to Dongdu, the bandits can reunite again. If we want to fight again, it is afraid that it will not be so easy."
Jia Runfu sighed lightly. "It turns out that Lord Yang is so far-sighted. I wonder what tricks he has?"
Yang Yichen brows tighter and said in a deep voice: "Actually, I have asked the emperor for an order. Please make sure to return to Dongdu this time, otherwise the bandits will be difficult to eliminate."
When Jia Runfu heard this, his face changed slightly. He whispered: "Master Yang. Master... Master has never liked people like this... I'm just afraid that Master Yang will cause trouble."
He originally wanted to say that the disaster of death was a taboo, but he didn't dare to say it. Yang Yichen knew it! He patted Jia Runfu's shoulder gently. Yang Yichen sighed, "Runfu. It's meaningless to die for many soldiers. General Zhang Gu Xi's lives. These soldiers also followed me to fight in the east and west for many years. How could I bear to die easily? If I could exchange my life for the lives of these soldiers, I wouldn't be able to die!"

"Will Yang Yichen want to rebel?!" Yang Guang angrily slapped the table and threw the memorial in his hand on the ground.
The ministers were astonished and looked at each other.
After Yang Guang arrived in Yangzhou, he did not ignore the government affairs. In fact, he also cared about the situation in the world.
After all, this is his world. When he went from Dongdu to Yangzhou, he was persistent in the land like a cow. He advised him not to go south to avoid being beaten to death by him. He was thrown into prison by him! He only thought that when he arrived in Yangzhou, Chen Xuanhua and put down the bandits. Since then, he has been at ease with Chen Xuanhua to traverse the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Sui Dynasty!
Unexpectedly, the world was already out of control in just half a year.
The death of Zhang Xutuo was like a blow to him. After hearing that Zhang Xutuo died, he was almost invincible. He placed a hope on Yang Yichen. He hurriedly summoned him to turn back from Shandong and attack Wagang. Over the years, Zhang Xutuo and Yang Yichen had almost defeated everything and were invincible. He only thought that he would be pacified soon. He did not expect that the letter from Xingyang Express today was Yang Yichen. It turned out that it was Yang Yichen who asked him to return to the Dongdu and appease the world.
Now that the bandits are rampant, he is a little timid even if he wants to turn around. When he went south, Xiao Buyi, Yang Yichen and others were driving the way for him to attack the bandits. It was vast and spectacular, and the bandits also fled in sight. Now that the bandits are everywhere, he has no confidence to turn back to the Dongdu!
But this timidity turned into anger and burst out, shaking the earth.
Pei Yun and others had known the content of the memorial. They looked at each other and Yang Guang was angry. Seeing that no one answered the ministers, they said furiously: "Do you have nothing to relieve my worries?"
Yu Shiji stepped forward tremblingly, "Return to the emperor, actually, I think... this bandit should not have reached such a rampant level."
Yang Guang was slightly happy, "What if it is according to Yu Aiqing's words?"
Yu Shiji could only pluck up the courage and continue to deceive. "Although there are many little thieves, it is really not worth worrying about. Thinking about General Zhang and Xiao... the one who defeated Wagang was just a slight effort. Yang Yichen experienced many battles, so why is it difficult to pacify Wagang?"
He wanted to say that Xiao Buyi had also pacified Wagang, but suddenly he felt something was wrong.
Yang Guang frowned and said, "Then why did he say that I must go back to Dongdu so that the bandits can be pacified?"
Yu Shiji hesitated. "Return to the emperor. Yang Yichen defeated the thief. He had a lot of troops. In the past, General Zhang was there, but now General Zhang left. He was respectful to his own troops. Most of the time he thought that the emperor could only rely on him to suppress the bandits, and he was arrogant..."
Yang Guang was furious. "Does he want to rebel?"
Yu Shijihuan looked around and saw no one responding. He could only say, "I probably won't be able to fight. But this time I asked the priest to go back to Dongdu by placing the bandits. Maybe what will happen next time."
Yang Guang raised his eyebrows and his anger became stronger. He slapped the table again and said loudly: "Send someone to summon Yang Yichen to Yangzhou immediately and give his military power to Pei Renji for the time being."
Although he was angry, his hand was shaking involuntarily. Yu Shiji only wanted to protect himself, so he could not care much. He respectfully said: "Master, I will do it right away."
Yang Guang's eyes swept over. It had already fallen on Yu Wenji, "Youtunwei, how did you do the things you have told you?"
Yu Wenji hurriedly stepped out and said, "Return to the emperor. Weichen is asking people to do it more quickly. Master Huan said that Master Xu died of serious illness and lacked a lot of magic power. He alone is independent and difficult to hold on. He needs to rely on external forces. I am now destined to go to Yamato to find spiritual herbs and medicines, and..."
Speaking of Yu Wen and wanting to speak, Dodo said, "They must be rushing to deal with it. As long as they find the things that Master Huan needs, they can return Mrs. Chen to the sun. Please wait for a few more days."
Yang Guang was sad about Yuwen Shu's death and was also concerned about what he said at the end of his life. Only then did he grant Yuwen and the title of General of the Youtun Guard. Not only did Yuwen and have a reward, but even his younger brother Yuwen Zhiji was awarded a general as a junior prison official.
However, at this time, the official position was severely vacant and depreciated. Although the two brothers were both high-ranking, they were as timid and cowardly as ever, and Yuwen Zhiji did not even have the chance to go to court.
Yang Guang was quite conflicted at this moment. He wanted Chen Xuanhua to return to the sun as soon as possible. He wanted to wait a few days. After all, the country seemed to be getting more and more chaotic. Chen Xuanhua would only be disappointed when he saw it. At that time, Chen Xuanhua asked him to work diligently and love the people. He agreed immediately, but now it looks not as good as before. How could Yang Guang not be disappointed? It doesn't matter if he disappointed the beloved woman. So after Yuwen Shu's death, Pei Ju and Yu Wen Shu said that the restoration date would be postponed. He was angry, relieved, and hope. Disappointment. All kinds of feelings are complicated. Now not only Yu Wen Wen and he deceived him, but even if he himself is also lying to himself. What can he do if he kills Yu Wen and finally has hope.
His mind was already in chaos. But whether Chen Xuanhua was still alive or not, he seemed to be unable to turn to Dongdu for the time being.
Thinking of this, Yang Guang was upset and turned back into the harem. Empress Xiao came up early and asked softly, "Master, thank you for your hard work in the morning."
Yang Guang suddenly hugged Queen Xiao and did not move for a long time.
Queen Xiao didn't dare to ask. She didn't dare to struggle. She just felt that the emperor was extremely strange today.
After a long time, Queen Xiao felt her shoulders wet. She knew that Yang Guang had already shed tears again!
Yang Guang rarely shed tears, but in recent times, he has cried more and more times. Does this mean that he has become weak?
"Master..." Queen Xiao asked softly, "What's wrong with you?"
To be continued...
