The news that the emperor was surrounded by Turks in Yanmen City was sent to Luoyang as quickly as possible.
At this time, only the second son of Yang Zhao, Yang Tan, was in charge of the Luoyang court. Yang Tan was young and weak, and this incident was like a disaster for him, so he was frightened and had no way to deal with it.
And because Yang Guang took away all the important ministers, there were no important ministers in the court. The only people who could make decisions were Wei Jin, the minister of internal history, and Yuan Wendu, the minister of the imperial palace.
¡° However, both of them lack official positions and qualifications, and cannot calm people¡¯s minds at all.
At this time, Luoyang did not have any troops to mobilize, and the military resources in Hebei, Henan and other places had been exhausted. Therefore, Huangfu Wuyi, the Youwuwei general in charge of Luoyang's defense, suggested that he could order all the prefectures and counties to organize their own troops to go to Yan King Menqin.
Although Yuan Wendu felt that it was inappropriate, he had no good solution.
Shangshu Youcheng Zhang Fangyi opposed this policy. He believed that allowing King Qin's troops to be organized in various places would be a ragtag group of soldiers who might not be able to defeat the Turkic cavalry, but would only die in vain. Moreover, it is easy to form an army but difficult to dismantle it. If states and counties are allowed to organize their own armies, local officials will inevitably expand their armies. By then, the states and counties will not be able to lose their power, and it is very easy to form a separatist situation of vassal towns.
Yang Tan didn¡¯t dare to take action at first, but after hearing what Zhang Fangyi said was so serious, he didn¡¯t even dare to make the decision without permission.
Zhang Fangyi suggested that the officers and soldiers from Hebei, Henan, and other places who were suppressing bandits could be ordered to go north to support Yanmen, and that all prefectures and counties should be ordered to defend the city. Wait until the emperor is out of trouble, and then make arrangements to suppress the bandits.
No one could think of a better way, so they had no choice but to follow Zhang Fangyi¡¯s suggestion.
News spread quickly from Luoyang, and the news that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was surrounded by Turks in Yanmen spread throughout the country in the shortest time.
Chang'an, Luoyang, Jiangdu I don't know how many people cheered and were extremely excited; how many people were shocked and frightened, crying day and night.
Those who hated Yang Guang laughed heartily, sang and danced, and even set off a bunch of firecrackers to celebrate. As for those loyal ministers and filial sons of the Sui Dynasty, they were as if they were mourning their heirs, and they wished they could take their own lives in their place.

Chang'an, Dou Mansion.
Since his old friend Dugu Zheng was killed by his good nephew Yang Guang, Dou Kang, who is saddened by the death of a rabbit and a fox, has kept a much lower profile on weekdays. You can't keep a low profile. First there is Dugu Zheng, then Li Hun, Li Min, and Tu Wanxu. In addition, Yuan Hongsi's family and Yang Xuangan's family died in the rebellion. There are not many old brothers left in Guanlong. Who knows? The Heavenly Butcher's Sword came to Dou Kang's head.
However, Dou Kang was not willing to die in such frustration. He had been fighting with Yang Guang and Huang Mingyuan for half his life, and he was unwilling to lose like this.
But Dou Kang was already at the end of his rope.
Usually, they can support some forces to intimidate Yang Guang, but these do not work at all. Yang Guang didn't care at all about the rebellion of these untouchables. He always kept his eyes on the Guanlong family.
Just when Dou Kang was at his wits' end, a young man named Liu Wenjing offered him a plan to kill with a borrowed knife, encouraging Yang Guang to patrol the north and use Turks eager for revenge to deal with Yang Guang.
Dou Kang spent a lot of money on this, and worked hard to cater to the emperor and encourage Yang Guang to go on patrol.
Today, Dou Kang heard that Yang Guang was surrounded in Yanmen and was in danger. Dou Kang couldn't help but be overjoyed. This didn't cost them any effort.
As long as Yang Guang dies, they can re-establish the emperor in Chang'an, and everything can return to the right path, exactly as before.
Dou Kang poured himself a glass of wine and paid tribute to Dugu Zheng, Li Hun, Yuan Hongsi, Yang Xuangan, and Yang Guang. I hope Yang Guang can go to hell as soon as possible.

On the other side, Wang Shichong, who was suppressing the rebellion in Huaibei, was desperately rushing to Daibei.
After Wang Shichong was transferred back to the central government by Huang Mingyuan, Wang Shichong did not want to stay in the court, so he flattered the emperor and Yu Shiji all day long, asking for release.
Although Wang Shichong was criticized for killing prisoners, Yang Guang admired him very much. So after Wang Shichong's flattery and Yu Shiji's good words, in the summer of the ninth year of Daye, Yang Guang granted Wang Shichong military power and made him a general to conquer the rebels in Huainan.
Wang Shichong took his cronies south to the Huaihe River and selected thousands of refugees from the two Huaihe River to form a new army.
At that time, Meng Rang, a giant thief from Shandong, invaded Huainan. Meng Rang was one of the earliest rebel bandit leaders in the world. Later, after he and Wang Bo collapsed in Changbai Mountain, he moved to Qi County and other places alone. However, he was not capable enough and defeated Zhou Fashang, Zhang Xutuo and others successively for the Sui Dynasty. So Meng Rang plundered various counties while moving south to fight in the Huaihe River area. By the time Meng Rang arrived at Xuyi (ruling the east of Xuyi County, Jiangsu Province today), the number of refugees threatening him had already reachedMore than 100,000 people.
Yang Guang ordered Wang Shichong to march eastward to fight against the bandits and prevent Meng Rang's bandits from going south to Jiangdu.
By the time Wang Shichong arrived at Xuyi, Meng Rang had already occupied Duliang Palace (now Nanduliang Mountain, Xuyi County, Jiangsu Province) and was stationed along the Huaihe River.
After Wang Shichong arrived, he saw that Meng Rang's soldiers and horses were strong and unable to defeat the enemy, so he deliberately pretended to be weak and invincible to show his weakness to the enemy. He also used five fences to block dangerous places to avoid fighting and protect himself.
Seeing this, Meng Rang was full of disdain for Wang Shichong, and laughed at Wang Shichong: "I heard that Wang Shichong is a grammar clerk, how can he lead troops? Today I want to capture Wang Shichong alive and invade Jiangdu City in one go!"
Meng Rang¡¯s men also laughed and looked down on Wang Shichong completely.
Wang Shichong refused to defend himself, so Meng Rang ordered his troops to loot various places. However, due to the war, people everywhere formed villages to protect themselves, and there was nothing to plunder in the wild.
Soon Meng Rang¡¯s food was running out, and his tribe gradually starved. So Meng Rang left a small number of troops behind, surrounded five fences, and sent the main force to the richer areas in the south to plunder.
Knowing that Meng Rang was lax, Wang Shichong suddenly destroyed the wall at night and launched a fierce attack on Meng Rang's army, severely defeating Meng Rang's army. Meng Rang escaped with only a few dozen cavalry. More than 10,000 of his men were killed and more than 100,000 captured.
After this battle, Wang Shichong became famous.
Yang Guang also believed that Wang Shichong had the talent of a general, so he served as the Huaibei ambassador to fight against the bandits in Huaibei.
Wang Shichong worked even harder and defeated several bandits.
At this time, Wang Shichong was preparing to cross the Huaihe River south and enter Huainan. Suddenly hearing the news that Yang Guang was surrounded in Yanmen, Wang Shichong burst into tears in front of everyone, almost as if his parents were dead.
Wang Shichong cried bitterly and said: "The emperor has treated me with such kindness as the sky and the earth are high. Today, Yanmen is covered in dust, and I wish I could replace him with my body. It would be great if I could have wings from my ribs, so that I can fly to the emperor and protect him." "
Wang Shichong¡¯s appearance made people burst into tears, and everyone called him loyal.
So Wang Shichong turned around and headed north to prepare for King Qin. Wang Shichong even ordered the army to advance at full speed. As for him, he was unkempt and had red eyes. He didn't take off his armor every day in order to travel, and he only slept on the mat, looking like a loyal minister and filial son.
