Chapter 1836 A wave of escape

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Led by Li Shijiu and Liu Laohu, a group of more than 30 people actually escaped from the missing fence in the northwest of the camp.  Although they didn't know what was waiting for them, they finally set foot on the road home.

    ???????????????????????????????????? However, as the first ones to take advantage of the situation, they took advantage of a situation that was not taken seriously by the court and successfully escaped. However, the following followers did not have such luck.

    News that the imperial court had moved the capital to Danyang had spread throughout the three armies, including news that Yu Shiji wanted to kill Xiaoguo Army soldiers who were originally from Guanzhong.

    As soon as this news came out, the three armies were in chaos and people were panicked. Many people embarked on the road to escape in order to go home and survive.

    So a group of people followed suit, and there was an endless stream of people who escaped privately.

    Of course, the imperial court cannot let this situation go unchecked. Otherwise, if all the 100,000 Xiaoguo troops have fled, they will not be able to defend the imperial court.

    No one dared to hide this news, and it was quickly sent to Yang Guang.

    Yang Guang was also shocked after hearing this.  When moving the capital to Danyang, his biggest reliance was the more than 100,000 Xiaoguo Imperial Army in his hands. Otherwise, if he went to Jiangnan alone, he would probably become a plaything in the hands of the Jiangnan family.

    So Yang Guang immediately ordered all ministries to strictly prevent officers and soldiers from escaping. Anyone caught fleeing would be executed immediately.

    Yang Guang was used to using violence to solve problems, so when faced with a sudden crisis, he immediately wanted to use violence to solve problems, but he forgot that the Xiaoguo Forbidden Army was both an enforcer and a prisoner.  It's very frustrating.

    So Yang Guang personally pushed his own forbidden army to oppose him.

    "And since Yang Guang ordered "to kill the fleeing officers and soldiers," the number of fleeing people has not only not decreased, but has increased significantly.  Yang Guang's order seemed to further prove the authenticity of the previous rumors. Some people who were waiting for the government to clarify the rumors finally decided to take risks.  &#29306&#22914&#32&#122&#104&#117&#105&#115&#104&#117&#107&#97&#110&#46&#99&#111&#109&#32&#29306&#22914

    At first, most of the people who fled were soldiers and middle- and lower-level officers, but soon the trend spread to the upper echelons of the Forbidden Army.

    Soldiers want to go home without anyone to rely on, let alone mid-level and senior generals.

    Dou Xian, the general of the Yuwen Association, Huben Lang, is one of the representatives.

    Dou Xian's identity is very special. He is the son of Shenwu Gong Dou Yi. He also has a sister who married Tang Guogong Li Yuan.  So Dou Xian is actually Li Yuan's brother-in-law and Li Shimin's biological uncle.

    After Li Yuan rebelled in Hedong, Dou Xian's identity became a bit embarrassing.

    Of course, Li Yuan's surname is Li, and his rebellion cannot involve Dou Xian, whose surname is Dou. Otherwise, if he is dealt with because of his in-laws, then the entire Guanlong can be implicated.

    But because of Dou Xian's close relationship with Li Yuan, his military power was restricted, and he himself was uneasy.

    At the beginning of this year, he learned through a letter circulated by the Dou family that after his brother-in-law Li Yuan entered Guanzhong, the entire Dou family took refuge in Li Yuan.

    Dou Xian was shocked when he heard the news.

    Li Yuan rebelled and could not be dealt with, but if the Dou family became a thief, Dou Xian would be killed.

    So Dou Xian tossed and turned, thinking about the solution, and finally decided to escape back to Guanzhong.  Before the Jiangdu court knew the news, he quickly returned to Guanzhong. In the future, his brother-in-law Li Yuan would treat him badly.

    If Dou Xian escaped alone, he might still succeed.

    But with the war in chaos, how could he dare to leave alone, so he decided to lead hundreds of his followers to escape, so that he could have someone to look after him on the way.

    "But if many people want to escape, they have to bring food and weapons, which is very troublesome. And after such a hassle, Dou Xian's escape was exposed.

    Not long after Dou Xian left the military camp on the pretext of inspection, the news was reported to Yuwen Xie.  The Yuwen Association sent people to hunt down and reported it to Yang Guang.

    Yang Guang was furious after hearing this. Dou Xian was considered an old minister.  He asked himself that he treated Dou Xian well and did not involve him because of Li Yuan's affairs. In the end, this was how Dou Xian treated him.

    So Yang Guang immediately ordered Yuwen Chengdu to lead the fine cavalry to pursue and capture Dou Xian alive.

    It was also Dou Xian's unlucky situation, as he was unfamiliar with the terrain and was overtaken by Yuwen Chengdu who followed his escape trail.  There was a scuffle between the two sides, and Dou Xian was captured alive by Yuwen Chengdu.

    Yang Guang was also angry with Dou Xian and ordered Dou Xian to be dragged to the North Camp, tied to a flagpole, and ordered to be shot by soldiers.  He also ordered everyone to cut off Dou Xian's flesh and eat it.

    Many people couldn't bear it, so they begged for mercy for Dou Xian and severely reprimanded Yang Guang.

    "The crime of Dou Xian is not tolerated by heaven and earth, and is outraged by both humans and gods. If the punishment is the same as usual, how can the traitor, minister, and rebellious son be punished?"???  "

    Yang Guang plans to use Dou Xian's head as a warning to others.

    So he still couldn't understand his hatred and ordered people to collect Dou Xian's bones, burn them and scatter them cleanly.

    Yang Guang's thunderous methods shocked the three armies, but also made everyone angry.  They just wanted to go home, why did the emperor have to stop them.

    So even though Dou Xian died, his escape was still unstoppable.

    Seeing this, Yang Guang really had no choice.

    At this time, Pei Ju, who had been silent for a long time, suggested to Yang Guang that the Forbidden Army soldiers would flee one after another because they were homesick, so why not allocate Jiangdu widows and unmarried women to the soldiers, let them have families in Jiangdu, and give them land at the same time.  Once you have a home, you have care, and these people will not run away.

    Yang Guangda was so happy that he followed it.

    In fact, Pei Ju has gradually faded away from the court in the past two years.

    On the one hand, the Pei family is too prominent, with a double family, and with Huang Mingyuan as his son-in-law, it is difficult not to be feared.  And if he takes the initiative to retire and use all family resources on Pei Yun, it will not affect the family's status.

    On the other hand, what Yang Guang did really scared him. Pei Ju had been in the officialdom for a long time and was shrewder than a fox. His ability to adapt to the wind was unparalleled in the world. Just supporting Yang Guang as emperor and choosing Huang Mingyuan as his son-in-law were enough.  I can brag for a lifetime.  The country of the Sui Dynasty was in turmoil and in the midst of a storm. If you didn't stay low-key and dormant, you wouldn't know how you would die. ãá reduce 75z w.co*m ãá

    Just like Yu Shiji, Pei Ju despised him from the bottom of his heart. This kind of person looked at the scenery, but he would never die well.

    Pei Ju¡¯s words this time were not to help Yang Guang solve the problem of soldiers fleeing.  But because of Yang Guang's strong suppression, it was easy for the Forbidden Army to cause chaos.  He showed favor to the Forbidden Army in advance to protect himself.

    Sure enough, after hearing Pei Ju's suggestion to the emperor, all the soldiers of the Forbidden Army were grateful to him.

    But this suggestion only treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and it doesn¡¯t even deal with the symptoms.  The main reason is that there are so many widows and unmarried women in Jiangdu, and the government's forced marriages only intensify the conflicts among the people.

    And the bigger problem is that Jiangdu has no land to grant.

    The surrounding manors are all the land of officials and wealthy families. How can any of them be given to soldiers?  So after the court's policy was issued, there were no conditions for implementation.

    Therefore, the officers and soldiers who can actually marry a wife and receive land are very rare.

    But the officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army did not see it that way. They only thought that the emperor and the court had deceived them again.  This caused some people who were originally stable to become chaotic.  Mi He Mi
