The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 864

Han Chang'an City is about [-] miles away from Daxing City. It was also the capital of the Sui Dynasty at the beginning of the founding of the country. However, Han Chang'an City was dilapidated and dilapidated due to the accumulation of urban sewage for hundreds of years. Drinking water supply has also become a problem. In addition, the Wei River changes from time to time, and Han Chang'an City is in danger of being flooded. Therefore, it cannot meet the needs of a unified national capital. Therefore, Yang Jian asked Yu Wenkai to build a new building in the south of Longshouyuan and southeast of Han Chang'an City. Daxing City.

Today, Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty, which has been glorious for hundreds of years, has been abandoned for nearly [-] years. The houses in the city are very dilapidated, but the city walls are relatively intact. Originally, only a few thousand homeless refugees lived in the old city, but since Guanzhong After being recovered by the Sui Dynasty, Li Keshi, who was staying behind in Daxing at that time, saw that there were still many dilapidated villages between the two cities. In order to unify the management, he simply resettled some villagers in the old capital and sent people to repair some houses for them. Live temporarily, and then use this as the center to arrange for the refugees who came after hearing the news to settle in other places.

As a result, the old city of Chang’an in the Han Dynasty became a transit point for refugees. Over time, some local people asked the court to resettle them here out of the need for nearby farming. Li Keshi responded to the demands of the people and identified areas with good water quality. The nearby people were resettled here, and the population of the people in the city has exceeded [-]. Some businessmen saw that it was profitable, so they opened shops.

Near noon, the business of several restaurants was particularly prosperous. There was a restaurant called Xingye Restaurant near the east gate. Due to its small scale and not being close to the main street, the business was not very good. The population is large, so no one knows who the current owner is.

However, although the business of the Xingye Restaurant is not good, and the scale of the restaurant is not large, the backyard surrounded by dilapidated courtyard walls is more than ten acres. It is said that this place was originally the residence of a certain prince and nobleman.

After the rich and powerful new owner settled down, he planned to open an inn in the backyard. In order to build the house in time, he hired more than 30 people from other places.

But at noon on the 29th, an event that the people in the city did not expect happened. A heroic female general led nearly a thousand soldiers into the city on horseback, and surrounded Xingye Restaurant.

The Xingye Restaurant is actually the general intelligence station of the Li Tang Dynasty in Guanzhong, and the person in charge is Liu Wenjing's younger brother Liu Wenqi.

This spring, he and his staff went north with the Yizhou refugees. After breaking away from the refugee team, he used the name of the deceased who had obtained the nationality of the Sui Dynasty to buy this wine shop, and then gathered the 'refugees' who were scattered everywhere.

They are not only responsible for collecting intelligence and buying some middle and low-level officials, but also collecting intelligence from all over Guanzhong and sending it to Yizhou.

After Yin Mingyue took down Li Xiaoji's assassin team in one fell swoop last night, she found a roster from Li Xiaoji, which included the intelligence points set up by the puppet Tang Dynasty in Guanzhong, as well as the list of bribed officials.

Xingye Restaurant didn't realize the danger was coming. Several tables of guests were drinking and chatting. Liu Wenqi was sitting at the counter counting something, and the waiters were lazily serving wine and food to the guests.

At this moment, there was a rush of horseshoes outside, and everyone looked towards the gate, only to see a clerk rushing in and shouting: "Master, the army has surrounded us!"

As soon as the words fell, an arrow shot towards the man's thigh, and the man screamed and fell to the ground.

The restaurant was quiet for a while, and then there was a commotion. Liu Wenqi turned around and ran to the backyard. A waiter also quickly fled to the backyard. The diners were dumbfounded and didn't know what happened.

"Whoever dares to act recklessly will be shot and killed!" A large group of soldiers broke into the restaurant through the gate, and blocked the doors and windows one after another.The few waiters who couldn't escape all knelt down with their heads in their hands in despair, and the diners who had just stood up also sat down in fright, and the lobby was suddenly silent.

Yang Qinfang entered with her sword, and said to the trembling diners: "This is the shop where the puppet Tang spyed on our secrets of the Sui Dynasty. I am ordered to come and arrest you. Everyone, don't move around to avoid accidental injury."

Hearing what Yang Qinfang said, the diners were relieved.

"Does anyone know where the shopkeeper went?" Yang Qinfang asked.

"The general, the shopkeeper and some fellows ran to the backyard." A diner said loudly.

These people in troubled times know a truth very well, no matter how capable you are, don't fight against the army, otherwise you will be the one who is unlucky.

What's more, they don't have a good impression of the Li Tang Dynasty who tried to destroy everyone's peaceful life, so no one is willing to keep anything for them.

"Follow me."

Yang Qinfang ran to the backyard with a group of soldiers, and saw a wooden shed built alone in a corner. Two soldiers went up and kicked open the door, and saw Liu Wenqi, who was full of horror, burning a stack of documents. Two soldiers rushed forward and pinned him to the ground.

"How courageous, how dare you 'destroy corpses and eliminate traces'!" Yang Qinfang stepped forward to scabbard, kicked Liu Wenqi to the ground, put away the documents that had not yet been burned, and ordered: "The He took it away!"

"Here!"

Several soldiers stepped forward and tied up Liu Wenqi.

At the same time, the city of Han Chang'an was being searched and arrested.

Taking advantage of the high mobility of the population in Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty and the convenience of being close to Daxing City, the intelligence personnel of the Tang Dynasty set up many branches here, and used shops, brothels, inns, and martial arts halls as cover. The hands of Mingyue exposed these people. In this city alone, more than 400 undercover agents placed by the Li Tang Dynasty were caught.

About half an hour later, surrounded by soldiers, Yang Tong came to the Xingye Restaurant again. This was the general intelligence station set up by the Li and Tang Dynasty in Guanzhong, and it was also the storehouse of material reserves.

Soldiers have found their underground warehouse and brought out thousands of armors, knives, spears, shields and other armaments piled up in the yard like a hill. In addition, there are hundreds of boxes of Sui gold coins, silver coins and copper coins. Yards in open space.

Yang Tong casually picked up a pair of armor and looked at it, then turned to Yang Qinfang with a smile and said, "Did you find anything strange about these weapons?"

Yang Qinfang replied: "It is exactly the same as our current armor."

"Li Yuan really took great pains! He actually built exactly the same weapons as ours. What do you think he wants to do?"

"I guess they want to learn how to infiltrate the army and act as an internal response." Yang Qinfang said.

Yang Tong said: "Since Li Yuan's ambition for Guanzhong is not dead, Fufeng, Hanyang, Hanchuan and other counties should be his primary targets. It is very likely that there are places where soldiers are lurking or storing ordnance and weapons. Send an order to let the counties The Prime Minister has stepped up efforts to search the counties and counties where he belongs, and must wipe out the puppet Tang forces."

"Here."

. . . . .

Far away in the square of the official residence in Hanchuan County, Li Daliang, the prime minister of the county, was watching the training of the county soldiers. Li Daliang was the grandson of the famous official Li Gang. His father Li Chongjie was emotional and wise when he was young.In the second year of the Kaihuang reign of the Sui Dynasty, he led troops to defeat the Turks in Mayi.In the third year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, he followed Wei Wang Yang Shuang in the Northern Expedition to the Turks, severely defeated Shabolue Khan, became the governor of Shangzhu Kingdom and Shuozhou, and was canonized as the Duke of Wuyang County, which was feared by foreigners in the north.Later, someone framed Li Chongjie for treason, and Li Chongjie returned to the capital. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty ordered him to return to Beijing to defend himself, and later died of illness in Beijing.

Li Daliang was deeply taught by his grandfather and father, and he is also a character with both civil and military skills.In his early years, he followed Sui general Pang Yu and served as a marching soldier Cao.He resisted the Wagang Army together, was defeated and fled back to Luoyang, was punished by Wang Shichong, and sadly returned to Daxing City, and then was recommended by Li Keshi to become the prefect of Hanchuan County.

Thanks to his efforts, Hanchuan County has achieved excellent law and order. The people in the county live and work in peace and contentment, and they don’t pick up lost items on the road. There hasn’t been a single criminal case in the past year, and the occasional small disputes are harmless and worth mentioning.

This also caused him to be relatively free as the county magistrate, and usually spent his time studying and training soldiers, but he knew that this was the turn of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and maybe the county soldiers needed to go to battle, so he would pull the county soldiers out for training whenever he was free.

"Jun Cheng, Jun Cheng!"

Li Daliang was watching intently, but saw a subordinate rushing in hastily.

"Why are you so flustered!" Li Daliang asked.

"The imperial court has sent an order to let us wipe out all the intelligence points of the Puppet Tang Dynasty in the territory." The subordinates shouted excitedly, their expressions were full of excitement.

A smile appeared on Li Daliang's handsome face: "Send down the order and order all the county soldiers to be on standby. We have something to do."
