Trees move to their nests and die, while people move to their nests and survive.

 Judging from the current situation in Guanzhong, if Yang Guang continues to stay, he will be swallowed up by Li Shimin sooner or later. This is a general trend and cannot be reversed by personal ability.

If Yang Guang wanted to take revenge, he had to ensure that he would not be annexed, so the only way was to leave Guanzhong and retreat to Liangzhou to recuperate.

Although Dong Zhuo moved Yellow Turban prisoners of war to Liangzhou several times, and also accepted a large number of refugees and Qiang people, the total population of the 89 counties in Liangzhou's ten counties and two vassal states was only less than two million, which was far less than that of Yongzhou's three More than five million people in 38 counties.

Yongzhou did not originally have such a large population, but due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion that ravaged Guandong, a large amount of time to move westward, the Han Dynasty's move of the capital to Chang'an, and Dong Zhuo's reforms, the total population increased so dramatically.

Of course, the population of more than five million was before that, and with the outbreak of the Guanzhong war, the entire Guanzhong became a battlefield.

Although Yang Guang and Li Shimin were extremely restrained, they would still inevitably cause damage to Guanzhong. The total population now may have dropped to more than four million.

Even if Guanzhong only has a total population of four million, its heritage is still not comparable to that of Liangzhou, not to mention that Liangzhou also has two other forces, Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Yang Guang wanted to rely on the weak Liangzhou to defeat Li Shimin, who owned Yongzhou and Hanzhong. This was undoubtedly extremely difficult, so he wanted to increase the foundation of Liangzhou by moving the people in Guanzhong.

Yang Guang wished he could just move away one million people, but the land he conquered could not accept so many people. It was impossible for Li Shimin to watch him dig up the roots of Yongzhou without being indifferent, so in the end Yang Guang only moved away five hundred thousand people. surname, and this is already the limit that his territory in Liangzhou can digest.

Yang Guang's initiative to withdraw to Liangzhou had a considerable impact. This proved that he lost to Li Shimin, and he also wanted to completely break away from the Liang army and take up the banner of the Sui Dynasty and go it alone.

Most of the Sui team members left by Yang Jian to Yang Guang were very loyal, but there were also many people who left Yang Guang because of this.

Yang Jian had nothing to do with Yang Jian, but he had a good sense of Yang Guang, so he obeyed Yang Guang's orders.

After the Guanzhong War started, more than one member of the Yang family came to persuade Yang Jian to join Li Shimin. However, Yang Jian saw that Yang Guang had just lost his father and couldn't bear to leave Yang Guang. He was also worried about leaving a lasting impression, so he did not leave.

Yang Jian thought that if he assisted Yang Guang in entering Guanzhong, he would be the number one hero of the Sui army, and his family would definitely be loyal to Yang Guang by then.

But Yang Guang still lost to Li Shimin in the end, so Yang Jian would naturally not abandon his family for him, not to mention that the person he loved was still in Chang'an.

Yang Jian asked himself that he had done all his kindness to Yang Guang. Without him, Yang Guang would have been defeated by Li Shimin long ago. Therefore, although he was ready to leave Yang Guang, he did not hide it.

What Yang Jian didn't expect was that even though Yang Guang hadn't said anything yet, there were differences among his sworn brothers.

“Third, fourth, fifth and sixth, you said you want to stay and follow Yang Guang?”

Yang Jian had a look of disbelief on his face. He simply couldn't believe that his sworn brother would actually leave him to follow Yang Guang, who had a slim future.

 “That’s right.”

Li Huanzhang, the third among the six Meishan brothers, stood up and said in a deep voice: "Second Master, King Sui is very kind to us. He is a rare wise master. My brother has decided to be loyal to him and never betray him."

"What about you?" Yang Jian asked with a serious face.

The fourth child, Yao Gonglin, the fifth child, Guo Shen, and the sixth child, Guo Shen, looked at each other. Guo Shen stood up and said, "Second Master, you also stayed with us. The most important thing to my lord is you. If you If you stay, one person will definitely be better than ten thousand people.”

 “Yes, Mr. Er.”

Four of the six Meishan brothers decided to join Yang Guang. The main reason was that the four of them had killed senior generals of the Tang army in the Guanzhong War. They offended Li Shimin more severely. In addition, Yang Guang's sincerity in wooing them, It really moved the four of them, so they decided to leave Yang Jian and join Yang Guang.

After Yang Jian was silent for a long time, he finally sighed and said: "Different ways do not lead to mutual conspiracy." In the end, Yang Jian only took Kang Anyu, the eldest of the six Meishan brothers, and Zhang Boshi, the second brother, to leave the Sui army. Yang Guang met with tears in his eyes. Although Yang Jian was sent away, he still failed to keep Yang Jian.

Yang Guang was extremely conflicted about whether to let Yang Jian leave.

Yang Guang naturally did not want Yang Jian to leave. After all, Yang Jian was the most powerful general in the Sui army, and only Yang Jian could fight against Li Yuanba.

 But Yang Jian wanted to leave, and Yang Guang couldn't stop him at all. In addition, Yang Jian was not his subordinate at all, and he had only helped before, so he had no reason to keep Yang Jian.

The Yang family has already taken refuge with Li Shimin, so Yang Jian's departure is most likely to fall into the arms of Li Shimin, and Li Shimin is Yang Guang's biggest enemy.

Shi Wansui and Wu Yunzhao both suggested that they would rather get rid of Yang Jian than take advantage of Li Shimin, otherwise they would have to face Li Yuanba and Yang Jian.

 Yang Guang rejected this plan after weighing the pros and cons, because he was not absolutely sure that he could keep Yang Jian. After all, for a strong general of Yang Jian's level, the number of people did not have much effect.

Yang Guang actually considered the method of poisoning, but still rejected it.

Yang Jian is different from Li Yuanba. He is not only a fierce general, but also a general with both civil and military skills. He must not eat anything given by Yang Guang at this time. Once discovered, the two sides will really forge an undying feud. .

In addition to these, Yang Guang is also afraid that killing Yang Jian will chill the Meishan brothers who have taken refuge in him. They are also capable generals.

Yang Jian guessed that Yang Guang might be tough or even shady in order to keep him, but he didn't expect that he hadn't encountered him even ten miles away from the camp, and he couldn't help but understand why the four sworn brothers followed Yang Guang.

“King Sui, Yang Jian hereby swears that no matter who he is loyal to in the future, he will never be your enemy. If he violates this oath, he will be struck by thunder from the sky.”

Yang Guang couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw Yang Jian swearing such a vicious oath. At least he wouldn't face Yang Jian and Li Yuanba at the same time in the future.

What Yang Guang didn't know was that Yang Jian's departure was just the beginning. Later, Hou Yi also left a letter and left, and led three thousand elite soldiers under his command to detour to Longxi and enter Shu to join Liu Ji.

Yang Jian and Hou Yi left one after another, causing the Sui army that lost Guanzhong to be in turmoil. Even Lu Bu in Liangzhou had the idea of ​​​​leaving.

"My lord, what are you still hesitating about? When Ding Shijun died in the battle, we were forced to surrender. Moreover, we were not reused after the surrender, so lord, why do you continue to work for Yang Guang?" Wei Xu advised.

"Yes, our family is still in the hands of Qin Hao. After all these years, we have not been intimidated at all. Although Qin Hao took away our Jingzhou, he has indeed done his best to our family." Hao Meng said.

"My lord, now that Dong Zhuo is dead and Liangzhou is divided, this is our best opportunity to break away from the Liang army. My lord, you must not miss it." Cao Xing said.

When Dong Zhuocai died, Lu Bu wanted to leave the Liang Army, but Yang Jian was too strict with him and he couldn't find a chance to leave.

The Sui Dynasty is now on the move, and has no energy to continue to monitor him, so Lu Bu will naturally not miss this good opportunity.

Looking at these old brothers, Lu Bu stood up and said solemnly: "Immediately break camp, go to Hetao, and join Qin Wen."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　)

In this way, three thousand Jingzhou troops, led by Lu Bu, marched all the way to the northeast of Hetao.

At this point, the three super generals possessed by the Sui Army have all left the Sui Army and defected to others.
