Chapter 1355 Suppression
Although there are only one thousand elite cavalrymen, the team is actually not small.

There are more than a thousand combatants, three thousand war horses, and more than a hundred people who carry out logistics work with the army. These are all necessary configurations.

At the same time, in order to deal with the situation of overestimating himself, Wang Yan made a mixed organization of the one thousand elite cavalry, half of which were heavy cavalry with armor and the other half were light cavalry with flexible movements.

In this way, we can attack or defend, and everyone can be safe.

Wang Yan was not afraid of his own death, but he was afraid that his subordinates who happily followed him out to earn credit would die too tragically.

In fact, if he had not been worried about Yang Guang being too suspicious, he could have put down Yang Liang's rebellion alone. The reason was very simple, Yang Liang had many of his men.

But accidents are inevitable. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. He is not such an arrogant person. After all, although he is not afraid of trouble, he prefers to take it easy.

Of course, the result was not beyond Wang Yan's expectations. Overall, it was still very easy...

Yang Liang overestimated his own strength. He thought that as long as he raised his arm and called out, all the territories under his control would respond. However, this was not the case. Only a small number of people actually responded to him.

Regardless of the various contradictions in the current Sui Dynasty, it is still very prosperous and shows that it is thriving. People with brains will not rebel at this time.

Even if they were smart enough and looked at their strength, the Sui Dynasty had fought wars in the north and south over the years, destroyed the Turks, and had great military power. Yang Liang would not be more difficult to fight than the Turks, and he couldn't even establish his own regime, so what kind of rebellion could he have?

Therefore, most people choose to wait and see what kind of situation Yang Liang can create, and then make a decision.

Wang Yan also received news halfway that Yang Liang was so angry that no one followed him in the rebellion that he fell ill. It was not Yang Liang's fault, as the reality was too harsh and cold. Yang Liang, who had been doing well, could not bear the blow and had expected failure, so it was reasonable for him to fall ill.

But success or failure would not be affected by Yang Liang's pain. Wang Yan did not encounter any decent resistance along the way. Except for the time when he first arrived, it took him three days to defeat more than 10,000 rebels with more than 1,000 people, and then there was no more resistance.

The horses trotted along the way, and wherever they went, the city gates opened and surrendered.

Wang Yan's method of handling the situation was straightforward. Whenever he arrived at a place, he would spend two or three days collecting the opinions of the people and soldiers on the local officials and generals. He would kill all the generals who were evaluated badly and promote people to replace them on the spot. As for the civil servants who were in charge of the government, some of them were killed if they were too bad, and the rest were imprisoned, waiting to be investigated for major cases and punished by relatives.

Then some soldiers were left to maintain local order, and the rest were directly recruited, and some were promoted to positions. Then the soldiers were spread out to take over other rebellious areas.

At this time, the news of how Wang Yan dealt with the civil officials and military officers had spread everywhere. Of course, these people did not surrender, but it was useless. If they did not surrender, the middle and lower-level officers and grassroots soldiers would help them surrender.

When Wang Yan arrived at the place, he accepted the surrender and beheaded them immediately. Some people could still survive. Officers and soldiers had to surrender voluntarily. All kinds of generals and officials, except those with good reputations, could not survive. Their entire families were killed directly. It was straightforward and cruel.

So everyone was honest, and they had expressed their willingness to surrender long ago. Those who felt that they had a bad reputation also gathered together and were imprisoned by soldiers. Only some generals who held military power and knew that they would die refused to obey, and there were always some chaos, but they were also trapped in the vast sea of ​​soldiers, and none of them survived.

Wang Yan was so calm and leisurely that he slowly led his growing army northwards, slowly approaching Taiyuan.

When he arrived in Taiyuan, he saw a large number of local tycoons, officials, and generals, such as Li Yuan, and even officials and generals from other places, who came out of the city to greet him, and the city gates were wide open.

Wang Yan knew about this situation. Those who had not followed Yang Liang in the rebellion before could no longer sit still after seeing Wang Yan sweeping across the country effortlessly. So they were sensible enough to take the initiative to attack Taiyuan and show Yang Guang their absolute support.

This is how Li Yuan was rescued. It is said that Yang Liang rebelled and Li Yuan did not support him, so Li Yuan and his entire family were placed under house arrest by Yang Liang.

At this point, Yang Liang's rebellion was basically over. The only thing left was to settle the accounts later. Only after the accounts were settled would the matter be truly over.

Wang Yan slowly led his troops forward on horseback, looking down at the people below him from his horseback: "Lord Tang, what does this mean?"

Li Yuan ignored Wang Yan's rebellious attitude at the moment and bowed his hands to greet him: "Greetings, Lord Danyang. This is a loyal minister of our Great Sui. He suppressed the rebellion for our Great Sui, saved our people from suffering, and protected the peace and tranquility of our Great Sui."

Because he had dealt with Wang Yan before and had a high enough status, Li Yuan was brought in to entertain Wang Yan. Of course, he was also responsible for discussing with Wang Yan how to deal with the issue afterwards.

Wang Yan was fully responsible for suppressing the rebellion. In an emergency, Wang Yan could make the final decision on all matters here. Of course, whether Yang Guang would cause trouble in the future was not clear, but at least his words counted now.

So many people in front of him hoped that Wang Yan would show mercy. The big families were closely connected, and Wang Yan had killed a lot of them before, so he really couldn't kill them anymore.

Wang Yan smiled noncommittally, got off his horse, and under Li Yuan's introduction, he got to know the group of people. The more prominent ones were Yang Yichen and Zhou Fashang, both of whom were famous generals and were quite powerful.

However, they all paled in comparison to Wang Yan.

After all, Wang Yan has an outstanding military record and is a close minister to the emperor. He has reached the top, and these people are three levels behind Wang Yan.

Wang Yan's attitude towards them was quite good and he was very friendly with them. After arranging for the army to be stationed there, he took over the city defense and went into the city with his troops.

In the Prince of Han's Palace, he saw Prince of Han Yang Liang, who was under house arrest and lying on his sickbed.

At this moment, Yang Liang was very weak and pale. He had not yet recovered from this illness, but he was struck down by a bigger blow. It could be said that this was adding insult to injury.

Wang Yan bowed politely and said, "Greetings, His Royal Highness the King of Han."

Yang Liang leaned tiredly on the bed and gave a mocking smile: "How does Yang Guang plan to deal with me?"

"Nothing. Take good care of yourself. When you are well, I will send you to Daxing to await His Majesty's decision." Wang Yan waved his hand, "Don't even think about it. Eating and drinking well is better than anything else."

There was not much conversation with Yang Liang. After checking Yang Liang's condition, that was it. Then Wang Yan went to see a large number of Yang Liang's subordinates who were imprisoned by Li Yuan and others. He also asked his troops to find the previously determined list and compare them one by one. It would be another matter whether those who were there would be killed or not, but those who were not there must be found and killed.

After watching it all, Wang Yan went to attend the banquet with Li Yuan and others.

There were good food and wine, a band and dancers, fighting scenes with warriors, and a large group of people toasting each other, even praising Wang Yan and praising him to the sky.

Afterwards, a woman was arranged to help Wang Yan take a bath and go to bed, and Wang Yan gladly accepted it.

So on the next morning, Li Yuan found where Wang Yan was staying alone. He saw Wang, wearing a black cotton jacket and with disheveled hair, drinking tea and basking in the sun in the yard.

"Duke Danyang is really in a good mood." Li Yuan came up and praised him. Wang Yan chuckled and said directly: "It's not me who is in a hurry, how can you be in a bad mood? Duke Tang, please sit down."

Li Yuan smiled bitterly and sat opposite Wang Yan, watching Wang Yan fiddling with the tea set: "I didn't expect that Lord Danyang could come up with such an elegant idea."

He was talking about the process of brewing green tea and the corresponding utensils.

In fact, when people still drank tea before, there were many things needed for it. The literati just liked to make simple things complicated and think they were elegant.

The process of brewing green tea was undoubtedly developed by scholars and officials. Wang Yan was used to it and was just repeating what others had said.

But today's scholars and officials all feel disgusted. After all, such an elegant thing was done by a common man. There are countless people who, every time they brew tea with a few good friends, have to curse Wang Yan to feel comfortable.

"Maybe I'm too idle." Wang Yan said with a smile, "Mr. Tang also knows that my family is not tolerated by the rich and powerful. Every day, I am thinking about these useless things, just killing time."

Li Yuan gave a dry laugh and didn't respond. He drank tea with Wang Yan and talked about useless things.

Seeing Wang Yan responding with a smile, Li Yuan finally couldn't hold it in anymore. He coughed twice to clear his throat and started talking about serious matters.

"I wonder how Duke Danyang plans to end this?"

"Just tell me, what do you think?"

"No, no, no, Duke Danyang misunderstood. It's not us, but them." Li Yuan waved his hands repeatedly and directly got rid of the relationship. "It's just that I have had contacts with Duke Danyang and can talk to him. They pushed me to talk. What they mean is that this is the end."

After saying that, Li Yuan drank his tea, as if he didn't care at all, as if nothing had to do with him.

"Mr. Tang should know that the rebellion of the King of Han is a major event, and Your Majesty has only been on the throne for a short time. Such matters are definitely not something that I can decide on, but are ordered by the Emperor."

"I don't know what the emperor's order is?"

"Since then, all of Bingzhou must support Your Majesty and be of one mind with Your Majesty."

Li Yuan understood that most of those who followed Yang Liang in rebellion would die.

Wang Yan did not come here just to suppress the rebellion. Judging from the results, suppressing the rebellion was easy for Wang Yan. The more important thing was to purge the entire Bingzhou and strengthen Yang Guang's rule over Bingzhou.

Although Yang Guang had accumulated some experience in Bingzhou, he had been away for a long time. This time, Yang Liang's rebellion made Yang Guang realize that there were not as many people he could use as he had imagined.

So, taking advantage of this good opportunity of Yang Liang's rebellion, Yang Guang sent his most capable Wang Yan to handle the military and political affairs of Bingzhou, and reorganized everything from top to bottom to get a good and obedient Bingzhou.

So Li Yuan was sweating profusely because his family had accumulated wealth here for several years. If Wang Yan expanded it, the foundation that their family had worked so hard to build would be almost gone, and the prosperous Li family would be ruined. That was still a good situation, maybe he couldn't escape either?

Wang Yan consoled him thoughtfully, "Don't worry, Lord Tang. His Majesty has said that if Lord Tang is not involved in the rebellion, then he will not be targeted. His Majesty is very generous and trustworthy, and is definitely a wise ruler. Lord Tang can rest assured."

Li Yuan forced a far-fetched smile, and then cautiously tried to test him: "I wonder if Lord Danyang would be so kind as to show mercy? This matter needs an explanation. Why make a small matter into a big one? I think the people of Bingzhou will be grateful to Lord Danyang, and will not let his hard work go to waste."

"Ah..." Wang Yan shook his head regretfully, "Lord Tang, it's too late to say anything now. You also know that my family is of humble origins, and it is only because of your majesty's trust that we are where we are today. However, along the way, we have never been tolerated by the wealthy and powerful, and my family has no choice but to go down this path to the end.

Now that your Majesty is on the throne, I have received the imperial order. If I don't reassure your Majesty, how can I explain myself when I return to Daxing? I'm afraid that I will be the one who will die. Lord Tang, if you were in my position, would you rather let others die or yourself die?
There is no need to think about it, it must be someone else who died. My family has accumulated a lot of wealth now, and the Sui Dynasty is in its heyday and prospering day by day. Even if my family does not hold power, I still want to die in wealth and leisure.

Lord Tang, you have to understand that this is not because our family is hostile to the big families, nor is it what our family alone wants. Our family has always been just a knife, and the one holding the knife is Your Majesty. But our family has the consciousness of being a knife, and the people were killed by our family. If you have any grudges, come to our family. "

Li Yuan was silent for a while, then shook his head and sighed: "Duke Danyang, it will be difficult for you to last long like this."

"Who knows if it will last long?" Wang Yan said with a smile, "I only know that if I were still the small fry I was before, a figure like you, Duke Tang, would not even look at me. But now you are here carefully begging for mercy. It's fate, Duke Tang, I don't care what will happen in the future. I only know that I am in power now, and I can decide life and death. Even the rich and powerful have to bow their heads when they see me. Why are you teaching me, Duke Tang?"

Li Yuan did not say anything else, because what Wang Yan said was the truth. It was not just bowing his head, it was even kowtowing, but Wang Yan would not do it.

He felt somewhat desperate, because he and they were all meat on the chopping board, and they could only let Wang Yan chop them, and there was nothing they could do.

Wang Yan is the current god of war. He has gathered and purged the rebels. Even the border troops further north that are loyal to Wang Yan have not been mobilized yet. If all are counted, Wang Yan can mobilize nearly 100,000 troops here. What kind of trouble can they cause?

If you don't move, you may live. If you move, you will definitely die.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, and politely said goodbye to Wang Yan and left.

Wang Yan continued to drink tea and read a book, feeling very comfortable.

He is not taking any action now, as he is waiting for information to be collected from all sides. He will also report the situation here to Yang Guang so that Yang Guang can make further decisions.

In fact, it was also because the wealthy families, local officials, and military generals here later attacked Taiyuan and captured Yang Liang. This event was beyond Yang Guang’s plan, so Yang Guang had to reconsider whether to carry out the original plan.

At the same time, this is actually an opportunity for these big investors.

If they could satisfy Yang Guang during this period, they would naturally preserve their foundation. If not, Wang Yan would naturally chop down the butcher knife, and he would do so with a happy attitude.

After all, these people were all recorded in his little notebook. If he didn't kill them now, they would not be able to survive in the future. They would die anyway.

So Wang Yan took charge of Taiyuan, further rectified the army, and temporarily took charge of Bingzhou's political affairs. After nearly a month of hard work, he finally received a reply from Yang Guang, allowing Wang Yan to make his own decision.

Although Wang Yan was prepared to be a knife, Yang Guang's attitude still made Wang Yan shake his head in amusement. This kid has become a bad guy now.

What does it mean that he decides on his own?
So Wang Yan wielded the butcher knife in Bingzhou...

I would like to thank the good brothers who give rewards, vote for monthly tickets, recommend tickets, and read books silently for their strong support!
