The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 221 Fate
Guanbei in late autumn is full of chills.

Yesterday, Yang Tong and Fang Xuanling parted ways in Pinggao County, the prefecture of Pingliang County. Fang Xuanling inspected the newly acquired Honghua County on his behalf, while he himself inspected the southern part of Pingliang, and made an agreement to meet in Yan'an.

The place where he lives is Pingliang County, which is only a line away from Li Tang's Anding County. There are currently [-] defenders here. Because there are no generals stationed here, and Yang Tong deliberately keeps a low profile, so no one knows that he is from the Sui Dynasty. The King of Qin didn't even know that the five thousand cavalry were the Xuanjia Army. Whether they were soldiers or local officials, they all thought they were normal garrisons.

Yang Tong lived in the inner courtyard of the mansion, and his bedroom was a three-story attic, covering a rather large area.

It was chilly outside the house, but it was as warm as spring in the attic. On the bed under the light gauze curtain, Yang Tong was half lying on the bed, looking at the scenery outside the window with a satisfied face.

Since embarking on the road of fighting for hegemony, the military and political affairs in my mind will fade away only when I share the warmth with my wives.

Shui Tianji was lying in his arms, silently watching her thoughtful husband, as long as she was with him, Shui Tianji would feel an unspeakable satisfaction in her heart.

"Husband, what are you thinking?"

Shui Tianji's voice broke the tranquility in the room, a jade arm propped up the soft and beautiful body, letting the silk quilt slip off the smooth and satin-like skin, not caring about the flawless jade body, Let the room lose color.

"Be careful of catching a cold."

Even though he has been married for many years, Yang Tong is still amazed by his wife's alluring beauty. He pulls the silk quilt to cover Shui Tianji, and the originally cold and fierce lines soften the moment he looks at Shui Tianji.

Shui Tianji smiled sweetly, she was able to swim in the icy river for an hour in the ice and snow, so what was the coldness?It's just that for women, a tough man who releases his tenderness to himself has the temptation of poppies.She enjoys and loves her husband's tenderness.This is also the reason why she is unwilling to retire. Only as a general in the army can she fight the world with her husband, and only on the way to the army, her husband is her husband alone.

"Let's talk about anything."

"My husband is going to go to war?" Shui Tianji snuggled tightly into Yang Tong's arms, with a hint of excitement in her eyes.She has a heart like dust and has known each other for many years, it is difficult to hide some of Yang Tong's thoughts from her.

From the moment she opened Fang Xuanling, Shui Tianji felt that Yang Tong was going to take risks. When she knew that Li Tang's territory was dozens of miles away, she had already guessed Yang Tong's intentions.
"It's not an expedition, it's just a trip to Chang'an to scare my cheap father-in-law!" Yang Tong said with a smile: "There is a legend that there was a king of Qin who defeated [-] "heroes" with three thousand Xuanjia troops! I want to see Can I, the King of Qin, lead five thousand Xuanjia troops to the enemy's capital?"

Shui Tianji was surprised: "One is the King of Qin, and the other is the Xuanjia Army?"

"correct!"

"Will it be too risky?" Shui Tianji got up excitedly, and the silk quilt slipped off, revealing a unparalleled and wonderful body!
Yang Tong took advantage of the situation and took out a handful. The soft and fragrant nephrite jade is full and grippable, and it feels wonderful...

Shui Tianji let out a low cry, retracted into the quilt, and said with a pretty face flushed, "What are you doing!"

Yang Tong took it for granted, "Touching one's wife is justified, so could it be that he violated the laws and regulations?"

Another joke!
The couple got up to wash and wash, and had breakfast. Yang Tong told Luo Shixin his plan, and then said: "There was a peace treaty in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and Li Yuan saw that we were not in Pingliang, and Honghua didn't have much force, so the focus is on the south." And the Hexi area. Guanzhong currently has less than 10 troops, and these 10 people are divided into various places, and Chang'an has less than [-] troops. We can definitely go to Guanzhong to play."

Luo Shixin was taken aback, and said worriedly: "Your Highness is a rich man, isn't this too dangerous?"

Yang Tong shook his head and smiled, "We only have [-] cavalry, so of course we won't be his opponent! Our mounts are all hard-working Liaodong horses, and they are equipped with three treasures of cavalry. It is very easy to escape."

"Alright!"

Luo Shixin was also a daring guy, he was strengthened by Yang Tong's courage, and he said proudly: "At worst, Master Yang and the others will scold him."

"Just say I forced you!"

"That's what I thought!"

Yang Tong: "..."

……

There are two main roads to enter Guanzhong from the north, one is Xiaoguan Road, which enters Guanzhong through Tanzheng Gorge from Pingliang; the other is Maling Road, which goes south along the Maling River, and these two roads finally merge at Jing River Two for one.

However, these two roads are rough and full of gravel, suitable for infantry to enter, but not suitable for cavalry. However, after historical changes, cavalry of northern nomads also used these two roads to enter Guanzhong many times.

This time, the Xuanjia Army led by Yang Yu entered the Guanzhong from Xiaoguan Road. Under the leadership of their guide, they walked in the wilderness, which was difficult to walk, so as to avoid the towns. Unknowingly wiped out at night, the horses are equipped with slaps, the gravel does not cause any harm to the horses, but the marching speed is slower.

Guanzhong adopted a defensive policy of tight outside and loose inside. When Yang Tong and the others avoided the first line of defense of the Tang army, they had actually succeeded.

Five days later, in the evening, Yang Tong led the Xuanjia Army to Wugong County, west of Chang'an City, and swaggered into Li Tang's idle barracks.

Because Wugong County was the only way for Li Tang to go west, Li Shimin's army often went back and forth between Chang'an and Tianshui. The officials and people were not surprised by the five thousand cavalry, and they warmly entertained them for one night.

After completing the supply of arrows in the barracks, they lined up on the official road in the early morning of the next day. Everyone looked very leisurely, as if the frontier army had just returned from defense. As soon as the sky was dawn, they had already arrived at the tall and majestic Chang'an Five miles away from the city, there are people coming and going.

Because of Li Yuan's strict army discipline, he never offended the common people, so the passers-by were not at ease with this cavalry, and from time to time the relatives were envious of the majesty of this cavalry, and asked the general to allow them to join the army.

Luo Shixin looked surprised and unbelievable. If they were anywhere in the Sui Dynasty, they would have been stopped long ago, but when they were five miles away from Li Tang's capital, there was no one to interrogate them. This is too casual.

He whispered regretfully: "It's a pity that our number is too small. If we have 1 horses, we can definitely enter the Chang'an Daxing Palace and take away Li Yuan and his ministers who are going to court." Yang Tong pinched his clean chin and lowered his head The voice responded: "Chang'an City is a square and square board, about twenty miles from east to west. The Daxing Palace in the middle of Chang'an City is about six miles from east to west. If we enter through the Kaiyuan Gate, we only need to follow the After walking for seven li on the main street, you will arrive at the Anfu Gate between the Imperial City and the Miyagi. Not far from this gate is the Yongan Gate that enters the Miyagi! After successfully entering this gate, there is almost no dangerous place to guard in the Miyagi. As long as we penetrate the palace city, we can leave Chang'an through Xuanwu Gate. Moreover, the palace city is not long, only about three miles. Based on this calculation, the distance we need to travel is at most about fifteen miles!"

"Do this vote! You can definitely take Li Yuan and his ministers away." Luo Shixin blushed with excitement.

Yang Tong's heart was beating wildly!

He came to Guanzhong just to intimidate Li Yuan and fight his arrogance, but he didn't expect to encounter such a huge opportunity so easily!

However, he was entangled. He clearly knew that this was a good opportunity, but if he got stuck, his five thousand people were really not enough to fit his teeth.

Don't go in, and miss opportunities that will never come.And the chance of success is at least [-]%.

After thinking for a while, Yang Tong let out a long breath, shook his head resolutely and said, "Absolutely not, the gains outweigh the losses by entering Chang'an."

"Why not?" Luo Shixin was anxious.

Yang Tong thought about what he was thinking and said: "When we stormed Hougong City, the gate of Chang'an was closed tightly, and the gate of Xuanwu was thick and tall, so we may not be able to take it down. Even if we capture Li Yuan, we still have to hand me over in the end." , to leave Chang'an safely, it is no different from whether you can catch it; but if you can't catch it, or Li Yuan is not in the palace, then we are all finished!"

Luo Shixin thought about it for a while, and felt that it made sense, so he didn't say any more.

At this time, a group of brightly dressed cavalry came from a distance. They carried eagles and led hounds, and they looked like they were out hunting.

Walking in front was an ugly monster in gorgeous brocade robes. He was Li Yuanji, King of Qi of Li Tang.

Ever since he arrived in Chang'an, Li Yuanji had been hidden by his father. He was neither allowed to train soldiers nor let him lead soldiers. , Don't just sit around all day long, for these things, he is also in the left ear and out the right ear, but as Li Shimin's prestige grows, and he is in charge of more than [-] troops, he begins to be unconvinced.

Yesterday, Li Yuanji asked Li Yuan for military power, not only was he rejected again, but he was also asked to serve as a side general beside Li Shimin.

But when he thought of Li Shimin, who was admired by all, and himself, who was hated by thousands of people, Li Yuanji felt a tyrannical impulse in his heart, and he wanted to kill someone.But he didn't dare to do it in Chang'an. Now that he's out of Chang'an, the tyranny in his heart is getting stronger and stronger.

At this time, an old man staggered and couldn't stand still, and fell beside Li Yuanji's war horse. Li Yuanji's war horse hurriedly avoided the side, causing Li Yuanji to shake violently.

Li Yuanji grabbed the old man's hair angrily, drew out his saber and slashed it off.

The passers-by screamed and ran towards the side of the road one after another. Li Yuanji laughed and threw the head into the crowd, causing a crowd to scream in fear.

Li Yuanji wiped the blood off the saber, put the saber back into its sheath, and continued walking as if nothing had happened.

Li Yuanji didn't worry about such a small commoner. If someone reported it, it would be a big deal for the old man to prepare to assassinate the king. Who would let him run into him?
And his bodyguard remained motionless, as if he had already seen this kind of thing.

Li Yuanji, who was agitated all the way, heard the sound of roads coming from ahead, and only then noticed that a group of cavalry was slowly approaching.

There are more than [-] cavalry in this cavalry, and the team is neat and orderly, showing extremely high horse control skills.This team is full of killing spirit, but its power is enough to make people collapse without fighting, and they cannot compete with the domineering momentum.

Li Yuanji was a little stunned. His second brother Li Shimin spent countless financial resources to form a Red Armored Army with a number of [-], and complacently called himself the number one cavalry in the world. He used to think that the Red Armored Army was the most powerful at this time The cavalry, which has always made him extremely jealous, but comparing the Red Armored Army with this cavalry, the difference is too far.

But when did Li Tang have such a powerful cavalry?Seeing that they didn't play any banner, could it be the elite force secretly formed by the emperor?

If you are in command...

Li Yuanji's expression was greatly moved, his ugly face turned red in an instant, and the invincible pride that I have in the world with this army in my hand sprouted in my heart.He rode his horse forward, stood in front of this army, and said proudly: "I am Li Yuanji, King Qi of the Tang Dynasty! The lord will come out and answer!"

Yang Tong and Luo Shixin, who had disguised themselves, saw Li Yuanji and were also stunned. They glanced at each other and saw a sentence in each other's eyes: It can't be such a coincidence, can it?
"The last general, Neiliang, will join His Royal Highness King Qi!" Luo Shixin, who had a beard on his face, stepped forward to salute Li Yuanji under the signal of Yang Tong.

"What a weird name!"

Li Yuanji glanced at 'Waicao Niliang', and then turned his eyes to this majestic elite cavalry. His eyes were as hot as the scorching sun, and no one dared to look at him wherever he looked, and they all lowered their eyes. head.

Everyone was so scared to throw up by his ugliness, how dare they look at Li Yuanji.

But Li Yuanji thought that the other party was afraid of him, so he felt good about himself, so he asked 'Wai Cao Niliang' very satisfied: "General Wo Cao, which army are you in? What's the number? Who's subordinate?"

"This..." Luo Shixin really couldn't answer, because 'Wo Cao Ni Mei' didn't explain it.

"Say!" Li Yuanji's face darkened. Seeing the other party hesitating, he believed in his own judgment more and more. He decided that this was the royal father's secret army, which also strengthened his desire to rule it.

Luo Shixin glanced at the dozens of guards behind Li Yuanji, and said, "Can Your Highness take a step to speak, because we have special identities and have important missions, so we cannot let others know."

"Stay away!" Li Yuanji waved his hand, and when the guards had retreated more than ten feet, he said to Luo Shi in dissatisfaction, "Is it okay to talk now?"

Luo Shixin rode forward mysteriously, pretending to be whispering, and waited until Li Yuanji approached, took advantage of the momentum, and hit Li Yuanji's neck artery fiercely with a hand knife, knocking him unconscious and taking him away !
The sudden change frightened Li Yuanji's bodyguard, who was shot to the ground by a wave of arrows at the moment when he couldn't figure it out.

The successive changes are surprisingly fast, which is unpredictable.

In an instant, dozens of Qi Wang's guards were killed.
