    Yang Xuangan didn't care about Li Mi's feelings, he was going to march towards Luoyang.

    Yang Xuangan may have experienced a lot of battles, but after all, he had been around Yang Su and had been in charge of a political party, so he knew his current situation.  If his men were all Fengzhou cavalry like Huang Mingyuan, who could raid thousands of miles and gallop around, there was nothing he wouldn't dare to do. With the help of his troops and a group of farmers who had never experienced battles, they could raid thousands of miles and not break up even after walking a hundred miles.  Even if he was lucky, his surprise attack was nothing.

    The current Yang Xuangan is not comparable to an armchair warrior like Li Mi. Of course, Li Mi is more talented. Through this rebellion, his military skills were quickly upgraded. He was lucky enough to survive and eventually became a tycoon. That is another story.

    After swearing the oath, Yang Xuangan concentrated almost all his main forces and marched towards Luoyang. As for Liyang, it didn't matter whether he defended it or not.  If Luoyang cannot be captured, everything is in vain.

    After leaving Liyang to Yuan Wuben, Yang Xuangan led his troops to march along the Yongji Canal from the waterway.

    At the same time, Yang Xuangan ordered his younger brother Yang Xuanting to lead his troops as a partial division to attack Hanoi County directly.  Yang Xuanting led 3,000 men and horses, with light chariots and simple followers, all the way to Hanoi County (now Qinyang City, Henan Province), which was governed by Hanoi County. Then, Tang Yi, the governor of Huaizhou (Hanoi County) appointed by Yang Xuangan, blocked the city.

    Tang Yi was a good friend of Yang Xuangan and an old minister of the Yang family. He was an official of the Princess of Hanoi and escorted grain and grass to Liyang.  Yang Xuangan made trouble and also called this former friend.  Although Tang Yi has a low official position, he is not stupid. He has good relations with everyone, but he cannot risk the fate of his family to follow Yang Xuangan in rebellion.

    Especially since he didn¡¯t think Yang Xuangan could succeed.

    This Tang Yi is also smart, at least he looks much smarter than You Yuan.  Tang Yi knew very well that now that he was in Yang Xuangan's hands, he had no control over his life or death.  If he would rather die than obey, although he might gain the title of an important minister, he would be nothing more than a dead soul under the knife of Tu Zeng Yang Xuangan, but he could do more while alive.

    Tang Yi was not from a high background. He worked as a county official when he was young, and later worked as a junior official in Yang Su's army. He had to work hard all the way to get to where he is today. Therefore, he was more flexible in mind and courageous, and he dared to think of anything.  Dare to do it.  Tang Yi decided to pretend to submit to Yang Xuangan, then took the opportunity to escape and went to Luoyang to report the news.  If he can succeed, his chance to change his life will be just around the corner.

    Yang Xuangan regarded Tang Yi as a brother, but he didn't know that Tang Yi had already regarded him as a stepping stone on the road to promotion.  Yang Xuangan stabbed his brother in both sides, and Tang Yi wanted to stab him in both sides.

    After Tang Yi pretended to submit to Yang Xuangan, he actively offered advice and suggestions to please Yang Xuangan.  Yang Xuangan had no one available at this time. Seeing that Tang Yi was so loyal, he appointed Tang Yi as the governor of Huaizhou.

    Tang Yi was very active among the rebels. After Li Yangcang fell, he was very familiar with the situation in Hanoi, so he asked for orders to go to Huaizhou, take Yang Xuangan's place as a pioneer, capture Huaizhou, and threaten Luoyang.

    Yang Xuangan was very happy. Although Tang Yi was not a big official, he had been an official in Hanoi County for many years and was very powerful.  Therefore, he gave Tang Yi a thousand men and horses to march westward.

    Most of these thousand troops were from the defenders of Liyangcang.  Except for the commander-in-chief who was Yang Xuangan's confidant, many of the generals below him were not Yang Xuangan's people. They were helplessly coerced after all the upper-level officials were killed.

    Although Yang Xuangan cleaned up Shangguanzheng's confidants in the army, he had no time to deal with the lieutenants, captains and others below him.

    Most of the people are not willing to follow Yang Xuangan in rebellion, so there are many who work hard but do not contribute.  Tang Yijiu was at the grassroots level and was good at winning people's hearts. Seeing that many captains had different ideas, he actively attracted these people and used them for his purposes.

    After Tang Yi arrived in Xiuwu County (now Xiuwu County, Jiaozuo City, Henan Province), he immediately prepared to rebel.

    He first pretended to invite the general sent by Yang Xuangan to assist him to drink, and then got him drunk and killed him.  After that, Tang Yi, with the help of several other generals in the army who were unwilling to rebel, captured the entire army and declared that he was rebelling anyway.

    Then Tang Yi quickly ordered people to go to Luoyang and Chang'an to deliver the letters.

    Yang Guangdong campaigned, so his second grandson Yang Tan, King of Yan, and Fan Zigai, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, stayed in Luoyang.  The King of Yan, Yang Tan, was young, only ten years old. At this time, Fan Zigai held the real power in Luoyang City.

    Tang Yi knew that the troops in Xiuwu City were depleted and there were no soldiers and horses, so he could not hold on, so he rushed to the county city of Hanoi.

    The officials in Hanoi County were shocked when they heard that Yang Xuangan had rebelled. They had long wanted to flee before the rebels arrived, let alone resist.

    Tang Yi also knew the character of this group of people and did not expect them to be able to defend the city.  Seeing that the officials in the city were fleeing, he teamed up with his friend Sima Liu Gan, the eagle in the city, and personally took over the city of Hanoi, and then deployed his troops to actively defend it.

      It has to be said that Tang Yi gave Yang Xuangan a fatal blow.

    If Tang Yi had not rebelled, but instead offered Hanoi to Yang Xuangan, Yang Xuangan could have taken the opportunity to cross the river from Heyang, go straight to Mengjin, cross Mang Mountain, and appear unexpectedly at the foot of Luoyang City.  It's really hard to predict who will win and who will lose.

    It¡¯s a pity that Tang Yi directly exposed Yang Xuangan¡¯s rebellion to everyone.  Historically, if Yang Xuangan chose to raid Guanzhong, he would probably be killed directly under Puban City.

    Yang Xuanting's three thousand troops marched straight in and reached the Hanoi city without any obstruction. All the county towns along the way were ordered by Tang Yi to close the city gates tightly.

    Yang Xuanting didn't care about these county towns, he only wanted to come to Hanoi City.

    He didn¡¯t know the news that Tang Yi had betrayed him. When he heard that Tang Yi had entered the city, he thought he could win without fighting this time.  When he came to call the door, he saw that the gate of Hanoi City was closed tightly, and only Tang Yi was yelling abuse at the top of the city.

    Tang Yi originally thought about welcoming Yang Xuanting into Hanoi City and taking the opportunity to trap him, but later he felt that the morale of the soldiers in the city was low, and he didn't know how many people were thinking of rebelling.  He was afraid that if the enemy really entered the city, it would not be certain who would trick whom, so Tang Yi chose a safe method and defended himself in the city.

    Yang Xuanting¡¯s three thousand troops came from afar and did not carry any siege equipment. How could they attack Hanoi City?  Therefore, although he hated Tang Yi's rebellion very much, he had no choice but to let people come forward to scold him.

    Tang Yi knew that he was outnumbered and refused to fight.

    Yang Xuanting hated Tang Yi so much that he had people build siege ladders and prepare to attack the city.  Tang Yi had made sufficient preparations at this time. As soon as the opponent approached, wood and rocks would roll down on the city, and the rebels would not be able to get close to the city.

    Yang Xuanting did not have enough troops, and there were not many crossbowmen available, and there were no other preparations for siege.  He stayed under the city of Hanoi for a day. Not only did he fail to shake the city, but he lost hundreds of people.

    Yang Xuanting looked at the city of Hanoi and had no choice but to worry about delaying the meeting with his brother, so in the end he had to take a detour in frustration.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
