The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 751 Invite Shen Guang to Kill Li Yuan
Taihe Village is built in a valley in Emei. The entrance is a narrow path with cliffs on both sides. In front of the entrance is a torrential river.Yuan Ziyan, dressed as a male Taoist priest, stood on the south bank, carrying an ancient sword on her back, looking chic and elegant, with a radiant appearance.With eyes like deep pools, looking at the terrain on the other side, thinking about how to attack with less effort if they meet each other in the future.

The river in front of her was fast-flowing, about five feet wide, and only one iron bridge connected the north and south banks.Although the bridge deck is relatively spacious, once the planks are removed, the three bare iron cables cannot pass people at all.Even if the attacking side is paved with wooden boards, there are many fights on both sides of the opposite bank, and there is another gate behind it. As long as the soldiers guard it, they can attack the invading enemy with the word 'pin'.Therefore, although there is no city wall on the other side, it is stronger than the city gate.

The design of the three iron cables across the river also shows the sinister intentions of the designers. Because of their existence, the attacking side must first consider this point of attack, which also means that the soldiers have become living targets for the opponent.

Apart from this 'road', Yuan Ziyan thought for a long time, but still couldn't think of a way to break the door. Perhaps the best way is to block the door, and when they run out of food, the interior will be chaotic, but it is too time-consuming, and since the other party chooses Standing here, there must be another exit.

Just when Yuan Ziyan was bored, the gate on the opposite side suddenly opened, and a group of cavalry came quickly towards this side.

Seeing the opponent's uniform armor and neat steps, Yuan Ziyan was secretly surprised. This is obviously a well-trained soldier, completely different from the mob she imagined.

"Is it Fairy Yuan who came?" A burly general said loudly.

"I am Yuan Ziyan, and I dare not be called a fairy."

The general clasped his hands and said, "By the order of the chief, I invite the fairies to enter the mountain."

"Please lead the way." Yuan Ziyan was extremely courageous. She immediately rode her horse onto the chain bridge and followed the soldiers into the cottage.

A group of people walked for three or four miles, and suddenly they saw a large area of ​​farmland in front of Yuan Ziyan, but the other party did not stop, but headed towards the vast mountains.

Only now did Yuan Ziyan understand why the Taihe Army was not afraid of the Tang Army gathered in Meishan, because the Taihe Army's camps were built in the mountains, and if there were no acquaintances to lead the way, even if the Tang Army broke through the mountain gate, it would be easy to get lost in the chaotic and disorderly environment. mountain trail.

The opponent obviously built some kind of death formation full of murderous intentions based on the mountain.This also made her more curious about the identity of the leader of the Taihe Army.

Followed this team of soldiers for nearly half an hour before arriving at the destination. The cottages are located in the mountains, and the wooden houses with unique styles are built according to the mountains. There are many old people and children here, but they are not afraid of them. Life, and there is no panic of the people in troubled times, giving people a scene of living and working in peace and contentment.

"The chief is waiting inside, fairy, please come in." When they came to the hall, the leading general stretched out his hand to guide them.

"Thank you, General." Yuan Ziyan saluted generously, and walked into the hall full of expectations.But in the empty hall, there is only one heroic man sitting on the main seat. He is playing with a delicate dagger boringly, giving people the feeling of being foolish...

When Yuan Ziyan saw the appearance of the other party clearly, he stopped all at once, and those big black and white eyes were full of inconceivable color, "Li Guogong?"

"Uh..." Shen Guang, who thought Yuan Ziyan didn't know him, lost his mind for a moment when he heard his title pop out from the other party's mouth, and then said lazily, "What Li Guogong?"

"On the day the Holy Majesty was enthroned, I went out of the city to worship the sky. I was lucky enough to meet Li Guogong in the crowd. Don't lie to me, Li Guogong." Yuan Ziyan said speechlessly.

"So that's how it is..." When he was still in Yecheng, Shen Guang was an intelligence chief, so he naturally knew Yuan Ziyan, who was pretending to be a ghost, and now she was exposed by her, but he didn't feel embarrassed. He sat upright, put away the dagger, and said with a smile : "Fairy Yuan, please sit down."

"Thank you, Li Guogong." Yuan Ziyan sat down.

"Why did Fairy Yuan come here?" Shen Guang asked curiously.

"I came here especially for Duke Li." Although Yuan Ziyan was very surprised, finding Shen Guang by accident was a huge gain. A good general.Because she has been in Yizhou for a year or two, she has also attracted many bureaucrats for the Sui Dynasty, but she herself does not know how to fight, and she has no generals who are good at fighting to help her lead troops, so I heard that the Taihe Army fought a few beautiful battles. After the battle, she rushed to find the general, but she was also worried that the leader of the Taihe army would not be willing to be subordinated to others. Once he had a strong force, it would not be a good thing for Tai Sui.Since the leader of the Taihe Army was actually Shen Guang, she was relieved.

Shen Guang couldn't laugh or cry after hearing Yuan Ziyan's reason for coming, and said to himself that I am not a big leader, and I can't even be regarded as a gray grandson here.But he didn't explain, but asked: "How many people does Fairy Yuan have?"

"Li Guogong, I have already received [-] to [-] Liao people. These people are all in Qianwei, Yuexuan, and Luchuan." Seeing that Shen Guang looked at her and said nothing, Yuan Ziyan thought he looked down on her, and quickly explained: " Although these Liao people are not a regular army, they are all brave and good at fighting. They are best at fighting in the mountains, and all kinds of poisonous arrows are hard to guard against.

Shen Guang said quickly: "Fairy Yuan, I'm not doubting the combat power of the Liao people, but I'm surprised by this number."

"My father is very convincing in this area. I got so many people's help because of him. It has nothing to do with me." Yuan Ziyan told the truth.

"I heard that there are as many as 60 million Liao people, and there are more than [-] young and strong people. If these people can be united together, it will be a huge force. Even if it takes Yizhou, it will not be a problem." Shen Guang suddenly thought of the occupation of counties and counties that he told Yang Guang before, and said excitedly: "Can you persuade them all to surrender?"

"It's hard." Yuan Ziyan shook his head and said: "The Liao people have suffered too much. They think that the Han people are despicable, cunning, and treacherous. This is one of them. There is very little land. Even less land falls on the Liao people. They can only stay in the mountains. They can only risk their lives in the mountains to hunt wild animals and gather herbs in exchange for food. They barely keep their families alive, but they are still oppressed by profiteers. With such a big problem, there is no way to make all the bureaucrats obey orders."

"In the Sui Dynasty, all people were treated equally, and there was no national distinction. Liao people could not only get the same size of land, but also be officials and generals. This is the most basic national policy of our Sui Dynasty. Don't you know?" Shen Guangben was free and easy. People who don't care about it don't bother to call out 'Fairy Yuan' one by one.

Yuan Ziyan obviously felt the change in Shen Guang's attitude towards him, and said helplessly: "I said it, but they just don't believe it. In the final analysis, our weight is not enough to represent the court."

"That's it..." Shen Guang thought for a while, and asked Yuan Ziyan: "Then tell me, what is their attitude towards the imperial court's policy?"

"Of course it's extremely welcoming."

"It's easy to handle. I can ask the holy majesty to issue an edict." Shen Guang smiled slightly, feeling a little rejoicing in his heart: Fortunately, the holy saint had the foresight to give the old saint ten blank edicts, which finally came in handy.

"Is it just in time?" Yuan Ziyan frowned and said, "I have a plan here, which may require a lot of people."

"It's too late, of course it's too late." Shen Guang put gold on Yang Tong's face and said: "The Liaoren are also the people the Holy One wants to win over, and the imperial decree has already been prepared, but I haven't found an influential chieftain of the Liaoren, so I haven't seen it yet. issued."

"That's okay?" Yuan Ziyan's face was full of surprise, thinking that this edict is too casual, right?

"The Holy Majesty is not a person who sticks to the rules, otherwise he would not have achieved what he is today. In his words, this is called 'special handling of special matters'." Shen Guang explained.

Yuan Ziyan nodded, believed what Shen Guang said, and said, "This will be easy."

Shen Guang asked: "Didn't you say you have a plan? Let's hear it."

Yuan Ziyan smiled: "Actually, it's nothing, just kill Li Yuan."

"Are you joking?" Yuan Ziyan's words were like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, making Shen Guang dumbfounded:
Just kill Li Yuan and pay it back?

How big is this girl?

Shen Guang, who was only in his 30s, suddenly felt old.

"I think so." Yuan Ziyan said: "Yizhou has the danger of four fortresses, and it is difficult for the outside army to attack, but the strong castle is often, always easy to attack from the inside. In my opinion, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin Li Yuanji and Li Yuanji are all ambitious people, if Li Yuan dies halfway, the puppet Tang Dynasty is very likely to be divided into three parts, and in this way, Yizhou will be recovered more easily."

Shen Guang nodded when he heard the words, "Your idea is actually very good, and it is a pity to succeed. I think you father and daughter have been planning for a long time, right? Do you have any specific plans?"

"No." Yuan Ziyan shook his head, and said with some embarrassment: "I came up with it myself. When I was waiting in front of the cottage, I felt that this cottage is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The best way is to break it from the inside."

Shen Guang was startled, and then looked at Yuan Ziyan with an unbelievable expression, "I understand, after you saw me, you wanted to join hands to kill Li Yuan and split the puppet Tang Dynasty?"

"Exactly."

"Li Yuan is surrounded by tight guards, do you think it's possible?"

"Maybe." Yuan Ziyan said his own: "Li Yuan is taking the Yangtze River waterway. Due to the rapid flow of the Yangtze River and the reefs in the river, it is not the boatmen who have been walking on the river all the year round. There are many experienced boatmen, but every night they drop anchor to rest, and Li Yuan is on board, so we can take advantage of the night to dive and board the boat."

"The fleet is mighty and mighty. There must be many soldiers on both sides of the strait. How can this get into their team?"

"Now it's a rainy season, which has caused the Yangtze River to soar. The fleet carries a lot of money, food and property, which is extremely heavy. If you want to go upstream, you can only use a lot of trackers, and you can get in."

"This idea is very good." Shen Guang was persuaded by Yuan Ziyan. Although the old emperor wanted to save Li Yuan's life, it was still possible to burn the fleet.

If Li Yuan died in the fire, he can't be blamed.
