Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 851 Luo Su saw Dou Jiande
Luo Su looked at the scene outside the car with some emotion. Back then, Chen She rose from a commoner to become King Chen in just a few months.

"The so-called king is just a person raised high by the people!"

Luo Su looked at the poor people who were worshiping and flocking to Changbai Mountain like a tide. This Changbai Mountain was not the one in Liaodong, but in Qidi.

Qi has been a rebel army since ancient times. Wang Bo led his troops to attack the Sui Dynasty's officers and soldiers in Qi County and other places.

Luo Xuanjing clenched his fists and beat Luo Su's legs, which were numb from sitting for a long time, while asking: "Ancestor, should we go to Qi County to meet this Chishiro?

If the rebellion against the Sui Dynasty was a general trend, then Zhenlong must be among them, why not meet all the famous rebel leaders in the world. "

As the carriage headed east, Luo Su said: "The Sui Dynasty is still extremely powerful, and now it has raised a flag of rebellion. With Yang Guang's slight edict, this is probably what will happen to Chen She.

However, there are many heroes in Shandong and chaos in Qi. Among the heroes who will compete for supremacy in the world in the future, there will definitely be people from Qi. We can go and take a look at those heroes and see who has the appearance of a king. "

Luo Su thought that with the current strength of the Sui Dynasty, it would be easy to suppress the rebellion.

But all the way eastward, he never saw the central court's large-scale suppression of bandits. Yang Guang didn't pay attention to these rebellions at all. He was still preparing for the great cause of conquering Liaodong!
Luo Xuanye was shocked to ignore the rebels and asked Luo Su: "Ancestor, why is this?
The civil upheaval was raging, like adding fuel to a raging fire in a cauldron, burning the Sui Dynasty. Why didn't Yang Guang react at all?
Isn't he worried about the overthrow of the country? "

Luo Xuanye felt a little uncomfortable listening to Luo Su and Luo Xuanjing discussing their marriage, and then heard Luo Su calling his name.

This force will become the foundation of the new dynasty. "

Luo Su only met Yang Guang once, but he understood why Yang Guang was like this. He said with a touch of ridicule: "Because from the collapse of the late Han Dynasty to the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, the world was divided.

Not only Yang Guang, but also Li Yuan, whom we have met before, also thinks so.

As a result, these rebels were living quite well, and it was completely invisible that they were rebelling within such a powerful dynasty.

Luo Su was stunned, then lightly tapped Luo Xuanjing's forehead with his knuckles, and said with a smile: "You are such a good sister, but I always remember your fifth brother."

The land of Shandong is turbulent, and the power of example is infinite. Wang Bo's current situation makes heroes from all over Shandong no longer tolerate it. It is really the sentence in "Wuxiang Liaodong's Death Song" "Instead of dying in Liaodong, what's the point of beheading?" What about the scary ones?”

Among these people, the probability of a real dragon is quite high.

When Luo Xuanjing heard Luo Su talking about Li Yuan, he said: "Old ancestor, that girl from the Li family has been a few years old. Shouldn't it be time for the fifth brother to get married?
But when I promised to marry at that time, I never expected that the relationship with the Sui Dynasty would turn into this kind of relationship. The fifth brother, a legitimate son of the Luo family, openly appeared in the Tang Dynasty's public house and married his legitimate daughter. It seems..."

I get it, it must come at a price! "

Li Yuan's character only values ​​his authority and relatives. If he really embarks on the road of fighting for the world, failure will be his most likely outcome.

Breaking the contract is of course not an option.

These people, ignorance is not the cause of destruction, but arrogance must be.

The last peasant uprising was the Taiping Army, but the Taiping Army was too special. The nobles blamed it on Ah Xiao being too powerful and did not think it was a problem with the Han court.

Luo Su directly sentenced Li Yuan to death and said: "Li Yuan is not good. If the conditions are suitable and he is of noble birth, he may have a chance to separatist parties, but he is far from unifying the world.

……

Luo Xuanjing blinked his big eyes and pretended not to know anything.

The imperial court gathered a large army in Zhuojun, but on the border of Hebei, there were rebels roaring in the mountains and forests, often descending from the mountains to plunder.

Especially those heroes who were born in the ruined nobles or the middle and lower-level officers of the empire, these people are more likely to gain momentum. "

In the divided countries of the world, the court responded to rebellions very quickly, and the world was actually a game for the powerful.

Luo Xuanjing's mind turned much faster than Luo Xuanye's, and asked again: "Ancestor, what if this Li Yuan is a loyal minister of the Sui Dynasty?"

I am going to reform the imperial examination system of the Sui Dynasty and carry it forward.

Luo Xuanye and Luo Xuanjing were taught, and for them, Luo Su's words were the truth.

There was no large-scale peasant uprising sweeping the country.

Luo Xuanjing looked at Luo Xuanye with some surprise as the holy mark disappeared and said: "Fifth brother, the holy mark has really disappeared. Ancestor, since we can make the holy mark disappear, why did we use cloth tape to cover it before?

Just because he has no room for people, he is not a qualified founding king.

The officials in various places were so overwhelmed that they simply had no ability to annihilate them. The imperial court was also busy with the Liaodong war and had no time to take care of it.

It is no longer the time for the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. We cannot just use relatives. Moreover, even the Great Zhou Dynasty also has a force named Jiang headed by Tai Gongwang.

This is a limitation caused by the times.

Too provocative, no fewer than ten rebel armies rose up seemingly overnight in Hebei and the east of Xingyang, the land of Guandong in the Han Dynasty.

The Luo family made a huge promise, and never broke an engagement when it came to marriage.

For example, Yang Jian was a noble usurping power and seizing the throne.

Only a turbulent peasant uprising that makes the whole world change its color can make the world see the power of the people.

Unless his relatives are like when our great state was established in Zhou Dynasty, with endless appearances of Tianzong, famous ministers, and divine generals, then there is still hope. Instead of paying attention to Li Yuan, it is better to pay attention to the surging rebel army in Shandong today.

The azure light is brilliant, and the sacred mark disappears!

Yang Guang's education and experience since childhood were all about aristocracy.

Therefore, only nobles would attract his attention. The rebellion of these ordinary people would not be taken seriously by him.

The model for the founding monarch was Emperor Han Gao, who wanted to recruit talents from all over the world.

Luo Xuanjing then took a closer look, "Old ancestor, do you think Li Yuan will have any advantages if he acts righteously?"

Luo Su and Luo Xuanye sneered at the same time. Even Luo Xuanye could tell that Li Yuan was a loyal minister. If he was a loyal minister, would Yang Guangneng still not know that Li Yuan had met a direct descendant of the Luo family?

He turned around and saw the car curtain lifted, and his ancestor Wen Gong pointed at the sacred mark between his eyebrows.

Because the imperial court gathered a large army in Zhuo County, Luo Su walked all the way to Hebei. There were bones on both sides of the road, corpses lying on the ground, no one was cleaning up, and people in ragged clothes were escorting grain and grass on their way.

In a year other than a major famine, the people living in the empire could be so miserable. Yang Guang's exploitation and oppression were really frightening.

"Ancestor, Yang Guang has assembled more than one million troops this time. He is really..."

Luo Xuanye didn't even know what words to use to describe Yang Guang.

This should be the first truly million-strong army in history!
Yang Guang recruited twelve armies on the left and right, totaling twenty-four armies. Each army had 4,000 cavalry and 8,000 infantry. These were the elite parts.

Those ordinary infantry are not included in the calculation.

The most elite siege troops are not included. This army is the most powerful army in the past and can conquer all countries on the plains and grasslands in the world.

But countries in the mountains are not included in this list. No matter how powerful Yang Guang's army is, they cannot move mountains and fill seas.

A steep mountain can support an army of 100,000 or even a million people. This army that makes Yang Guang so confident may not necessarily have an advantage in the terrain of Liaodong.

Luosu's wheels were rolling, and the people outside were muttering to defect to Sun Anzu, who was one of the most famous rebel leaders above Hebei. He fought against the government in swamps and lakes, and often came out to plunder, making the local government miserable. Word.

When Luo Su and his party arrived at the border of Zhangnan County, they saw that the place had not been looted by these rebels and was quite tidy. Luo Xuanjing thought that the local Sui Dynasty county government was capable of governance.

Luo Su said directly: "There are people here who have colluded with the rebels, so if they don't come to plunder, the government will notice."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard several screams, and then several officials walked out of a house and shouted to everyone around them: "This is the fate of colluding with bandits!"

Luo Su and the others followed the officials. When there were no people around, Luo Xuanye stepped forward and captured them. After questioning them for a while, the frightened and inexplicable people were like pouring beans from a bamboo tube. Tell the whole story.

"What we killed was Dou Jiande's family. He was a warrior in the village and managed two hundred people.

Sun Anzu, a big thief who now dominates the county, was unwilling to respond to the court's call and go to Liaodong. The county magistrate punished him, so he killed the magistrate in anger and became a bandit.

There are rumors that Dou Jiande once took him in, and it was Dou Jiande who recruited Sun Anzu to become a bandit.

And every time those rebels came down to plunder, they always avoided Dou Jiande's hometown.

So the county magistrate thought that he had colluded with Sun Anzu and asked us to arrest him. His family wanted to tip off the news, so we killed his family members. "

After listening to this story, Luo Su knew that Dou Jiande must have colluded with the rebels. The two hundred people in the imperial court would have to fall into the trap now.

The collapse of an empire starts with the hearts of the people. When people from all walks of life in the empire abandon the empire, that is when the empire will perish.

The current Sui Dynasty, because of Yang Guang's cruelty, has lost the support of the people at the most basic level. Millions of people are looking forward to the demise of the Sui Dynasty.

Now it is Dou Jiande and other low-level officials who are beginning to collapse.

Those farmers who put down their hoes and picked up their swords, as well as petty officials like Dou Jiande, had relatively low combat effectiveness. Compared with the powerful Sui army, they were even more incomprehensible. These people were just seeking their own survival. Higher aspirations.

He would not think about competing with Yang Guang for the dominance of the empire.

However, the rebellion of the people represented the gradual collapse of the Sui Dynasty's economy, and the collapse of the petty officials meant that the political order began to lose control.

When taxes cannot be collected and troops cannot be raised, that is when the empire will truly collapse.

Luo Su traveled around the world, and naturally he didn't just wander around. He wanted to master first-hand information and calculate the subtle changes in the world situation during the Sui Dynasty.

Luo Xuanye came over and said, "Ancestor, someone is looking at us furtively."

"bring it here."

After receiving the order, Luo Xuanye rode his horse past and pulled out the horse's spear in an instant.

The middle-aged man didn't expect that he would be discovered even if he was watching in such a secret way. He tried to escape but found it impossible, so he tried to resist with a knife, but was captured by Luo Xuanye in shock after just a few moves.

Luo Xuanye carried the squirming man back to Luo Su and pressed him directly to the ground. He probably knew that he couldn't resist, so he stopped twisting and accepted his fate.

"Dou Jiande!"

The several officers who were kneeling on the ground took one look at the man and screamed in surprise.

They never expected to see the target of their trip here, and Luo Su couldn't help but glance at Dou Jiande. Is it such a coincidence?
After shouting out Dou Jiande's name, several officials lowered their heads with a guilty conscience. After all, they had just killed Dou Jiande's family.

Dou Jiande's heart sank when he saw the expressions of several people and stared at these officials. Luo Su pointed directly at a few people and said: "Dou Jiande, right? Just now these officials went to your home to arrest you. Your family members have been killed when you were not here."

Luosu's directness shocked several people.

Dou Jiande's face turned red almost instantly, and he struggled frantically to free himself from Luo Xuanye's hand. Luo Su gave a look, and Luo Xuanye let go of his hand. Dou Jiande rushed over, and stabbed the first one to death with the knife in his hand.

Several other people immediately resisted.

Dou Jiande roared angrily and rushed forward without hesitation. He was famous for his bravery as a leader of two hundred people. If he couldn't defeat Luo Xuanye, could he also defeat these officials who only knew how to roam the countryside?

Luosu and the other three stood nearby watching the show, watching with their own eyes Dou Jiande fought five people alone, and killed all five of them with just a little injury. Blood flowed everywhere. Before the officials died, their faces were full of blood. A look of unwillingness.

After killing these five people, Dou Jiande knelt directly in front of Luo Su and cried bitterly: "Dou Jiande thanks you so much for your kindness and kindness, allowing me to kill my enemies with my own hands. If you want to kill me, Jiande will never give up."

Dou Jiande looked quite heroic. Luo Su asked casually: "If you kill the official, you will no longer be an official in the Sui Dynasty. I heard that Sun Anzu is a friend of You, so you must be going to join him."

Dou Jiande nodded with some despair in his eyes.

Luo Su asked with great interest: "When you persuaded Sun Anzu to go up the mountain, how did you persuade him?"

Dou Jiande lowered his head and said: "At the beginning, I advised him that the emperor was not considerate of the people's sentiments, and the world had suffered excessive losses in the past few years, but he still insisted on conquering Liaodong. The world was about to be in chaos. When a man is born in this world, he should make achievements and not hide in Tibet. It is better to take action and wait for the world to change."

Luo Su asked: "What you said is very correct, why don't you implement it yourself? It eventually led to today's disaster, alas."

Dou Jiande choked up again when he heard this, with countless regrets in his heart.

In fact, before this, Sun Anzu had been asking him to go up the mountain, but he was unwilling to fall into the trap of becoming a bandit before because he could still hang out in the officialdom of the Sui Dynasty. Now the Sui Dynasty helped him make the decision. There is no other way to go.

Luo Su asked again: "You are not an ordinary citizen. From your words, it can be seen that you have far-sightedness. What do you think of Sun Anzu and the rebels such as Gao Shida and Zhang Jincheng who are across Hebei?"

Dou Jiande raised his head and looked at Luo Su and said seriously: "We are said to be rebels, how can we afford the word "righteousness"?

The reason why I don't want to be a bandit is because they don't have anyone who can achieve great things.

In the past year, after they captured the officials and scholars of the Sui Dynasty, they always killed them without hesitation and then took away the gold, silver, cloth, and silk. This was wrong.

Although I don’t read much, I also know that if I want to make a difference, I need to recruit more talented people.

But these people were pushed to the Sui Dynasty.

They soon forgot that they were born in poverty and could not share the joys and sorrows with their soldiers. They had already put on silk and satin on the mountain, and began to treat the people aloofly, just like the officers and soldiers treated the people.

Ugh.

The emperor caused chaos in the world because of his cruel treatment of the people, but they followed the emperor's approach and did not treat the people with kindness and justice, did not seek benefits for the people, and did not allow the people to live a stable life.

Where is this way to win the hearts and minds of the people?

How is this a sign of great achievements?

They were just rampant bandits before the birth of the real dragon, but now I have to take shelter from them, otherwise it would be difficult to survive.

I am just an ordinary person. If I can live one more day, it is just one day. "

Following Dou Jiande's words, Luo Xuanye and Luo Xuanjing looked at Dou Jiande a little differently.

This Dou Jiande is just a small officer in the Sui Empire, but he has such knowledge. Is this what the ancestors said, those classes where real dragons exist?
Luo Su also didn't expect that after asking casually, he would find a knowledgeable person. Moreover, this person also understood the principles of benevolence and righteousness, which was rare.

If Yang Guang knew some principles of benevolence and righteousness, the world would not be where it is now.

He looked Dou Jiande up and down again, reached out and touched it from his waist, and actually took out a piece of jade from the ring. This kind of jade was different from the jade pendant with the name engraved on it by Luo's direct descendants, but it was still a valuable gem.

He handed the jade to Dou Jiande, "You are a hero. Remember what you said today to treat the people benevolently and righteously. This jade is given to you. I hope you will be like this jade in the future, and your heart will always be bright, gentle and smooth."

The world is indeed going to be in chaos. If there are more people like you who understand benevolence and righteousness, the people will probably be better off. See you again. "

Dou Jiande took the jade in a daze and saw a soaring phoenix on the jade, and a word seemed to be written on the back in an extremely ancient font.

This seems to be "Luo"?
Lo!
Only then did Dou Jiande come to his senses. As if he had been struck by lightning, he stared blankly at Luo Su's carriage going away. Only then did he realize that he had actually met the legendary Luo Shi.

I also received a jade gift from Luo Family!
It was like a legend suddenly came to reality, and the next moment, his heart was filled with ecstasy.

……

In the carriage that was driving away, Luo Xuanjing asked, leaning on his cheek: "Ancestor, you seem to value that Dou Jiande very much?"

Luo Su asked back: "Do you think Dou Jiande is not good? Apart from his background, he is much better than Li Yuan. If anyone can create higher achievements, I think Dou Jiande can."

Luo Xuanjing said coquettishly: "Of course people can see that Dou Jiande is better than Li Yuan, at least in terms of benevolence and treatment of talents, he is better than Li Yuan.

But with his background being so poor, and now joining those weak rebels, can he really survive the chaos that will follow?

Since ancient times, most of the rebels have never seen the dawn of victory and will fall in the darkness of dawn. Since you value Dou Jiande, why don't you give him a push?

At least let him save his life. "

When Luo Su heard this, he smiled and said, "Ah Jing.

When Heaven is about to entrust this person with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind and will, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions, so that his mind and forbearance are moved and he can gain what he cannot.

A person who wants to achieve great things must have a strong ability to resist setbacks and be able to accept failure calmly. The reason why I value Dou Jiande is because he was born at the bottom and will definitely encounter failures and setbacks.

This will give him perseverance in his great undertakings in the future.

Besides, Dou Jiande will meet me. Do you think this is just a coincidence?
This may be God's will.

He is a man of great luck, otherwise he would not have met me. Such a person will not die so easily. He will definitely achieve some achievements in the world. "

Luo Su's tone was very calm, but the information revealed in his words made Luo Xuanye and Luo Xuanjing tremble. Even as sons of the Luo family, this was their first time hearing it.

It can only be said that compared with Luo, Son of Destiny, Ancestor Su's favorite cub, Reincarnation of the Heroic Spirit, Su, they know too little.

"Ancestor, where are we going?"

Luo Su pointed to the north, "Let's see how powerful this unprecedented army of one million people is, and see if Yang Guang can capture Liaodong."

……

Yang Guang's army finally assembled in Zhuojun despite various disturbances.

He looked at the army with no end in sight, his eyes full of high spirits. How could anyone in this world resist such an army?

Yang Guang asked the army to march out in Jicheng. How many did this army have?

He sent out an army every day, and the two armies were dozens of miles apart. They set out accordingly and moved forward like a long snake, because there were too many armies. If they didn't move in this way, they would not be able to move at all.

Just the flag can travel a thousand miles!

The distance from Chang'an to Luoyang is only a thousand miles, but the march length of the army is from Luoyang to Chang'an. Just think about it, this is something that no one with a normal mind can do.

Yang Guang personally led the expedition, so naturally there were a large number of officials accompanying the army. He moved the entire court here, including all six ministries from the three provinces. The team of court officials alone was nearly a hundred miles long.

When Luo Su and the others came to Zhuo County and learned about these things, even Luo Xuanjing, who didn't know much about military affairs, couldn't help but said: "Is Yang Guang looking for death?
How many people would die if such a long marching team encountered an ambush? "

No one answered her words, because the answer was obvious, and the whole army might be destroyed. This was no exaggeration, because there were only two roads into Liaodong from Jicheng.

One is the road that goes through the mountains and Lulongpinggang. However, there is an obvious problem when passing through the mountains. It is difficult to find water sources. It is very likely that the army will run out of water while walking. At that time, wells will need to be dug on the spot. If they can't find it, the whole army will basically be destroyed and die in the mountains.

The Yan State often used this road to reach Liaodong with small armies.

The other one can accommodate a large number of troops entering and exiting, and that is the Western Liaoning Corridor.

But the road is not completely open yet. It can be passed in normal seasons, but if it rains heavily or the tide rises, the Liaoxi Corridor will be flooded.

If the army suffered a defeat in Liaodong, a heavy rain would cut off the road to Liaodong, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

There is still a way to attack Liaodong Kingdom by water. However, with the current shipbuilding technology, it can still sail on the Yangtze River and Yellow River. If it enters the ocean, it is highly likely that something will happen.

Under such circumstances, Yang Guang dared to send so many troops to conquer the Liaodong Kingdom, trying to defeat the Liaodong Kingdom with absolute force. Isn't this a mental problem?
When Yang Guang pacified Jiangnan, it was a must-win situation.

Because of the logistics of the Sui Dynasty's army, they could attack continuously and could not be intercepted. It was a pure war of fighting for national strength.

Now, Luo Su could almost conclude that there would be problems with the food and fodder for the Sui army.

Luo Su came to Zhuojun to see if it was possible for Yang Guang to conquer Liaodong.

After all, this million-strong army is an unprecedented military strength. Perhaps the Liaodong Kingdom is directly afraid of the military power and surrenders.

But Yang Guang's tricks one after another made Luo Su almost certain that the Sui Dynasty was really going to be defeated.

"The popularity of teaching as a teacher in recent times has never been seen before."

"The armies in recent times were so brutal that they were unprecedented."

These two sentences, which were only recorded in history books, sent chills down the spines of Luo Xuanye and Luo Xuanjing, just like the legendary judge's verdict.

"Ancestor, does the Sui Dynasty really have no chance? Those generals may be brave and good at fighting, and they can defeat the Liaodong Kingdom."

Luo Su shook his head with a cold face. He recalled the story of King Zhou Li's southern expedition to Chu. Didn't King Zhou Li have any loyal ministers around him at that time?
I can see through everything, isn't it because King Zhou Li disobeyed and had to leave?
Didn't anyone advise King Zhou Li when he was conquering Chu?

But in the end, King Zhou Li died in the rebellion, including the most elite Sixth Army of the Emperor in Zhou Dynasty.

Yang Guang, this stupid emperor who loves great achievements, will he listen to the advice of the ministers who follow the army?
He will not!
----

People never learn good lessons from history, and the great success of Emperor Ruili of the Han Dynasty did not give the slightest warning to Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.

Emperor Sui Yang completely ignored the numerous social crises in the Sui Empire and the world that was already at war. The extremely conceited, arrogant, and success-loving Emperor used his powerful power to control the most powerful car in the history of the Sui Empire. The chariot rushed onto the track of the Liaodong War.

How could he know that this would be the prelude to the demise of his empire? The Han Empire had Jingnan princes, but the Sui Empire could only watch it fall into the abyss! ——"The Rise and Fall of the Sui Empire"
