The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 971 Yang Guang Helps Tang Jun Anonymously

As the sky was getting brighter, Yang Guang left Shu County with a gang of gangsters, and he only needed to walk more than a hundred miles to reach Ziyang County.Yang Guang, Yang Yichen, Li Zhi and others who ran for most of the night were still calm and composed. The number of gangsters who had vowed to hang out with Yang Guang before had been reduced by more than half. They either fell behind during the run or walked away by themselves.This was also expected by Yang Guang. He said: "The pursuers have not shown up so far, and we know that we are safe. Everyone has been running all night, so we can take a break!"

"Old Yang, are we going to Ziyang City?" A leader came to Yang Guang's side and said, "I heard that Ziyang City was captured by an army led by a hero, and they are opening warehouses to release grain and recruiting troops. .They are so powerful that they will probably be able to attack Chengdu in a short time."

"We are going to Ziyang, but we are just passing by. As for the heroes in Ziyang City, if you want to join him, just go." Yang Guang shook his head and laughed.What hero?Nothing more than a shallow-sighted, stupid and stupid refugee leader.Although Yang Guang was a little surprised by the victory over Ziyang City, Ziyang City was so close to the capital of the Tang Dynasty and several heavy troops from the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Far.

Such a low-level idiot has no way to compare with Wang Bo, Xu Yuanlang, Zuo Xiaoyou, Lu Mingyue, etc., let alone Zhai Rang, Li Mi, Dou Jiande, Xue Ju, Zhang Jincheng, Gao Shida, etc. thief.

As for the "heroes from all over the world who have defected one after another", they are just rushing to "open warehouses and release food".However, [-]% to [-]% of the current grain in Sichuan is controlled by the honorable nobles of the Tang Dynasty, and the remaining [-]% is in the hands of Li Shimin and the army. Ziyang City is not far from Chengdu City and the Sui Army camp. How can Li Shimin, who suffers from lack of food Maybe hoarding a lot of food in this unsafe city?

Such a place is about to become a city that the two armies of the Sui and Tang Dynasties are fighting for, and this "hero" not only retreated without seeing him, but fled to the mountains and forests, and even recruited troops in the cracks between the armies of the two dynasties in an attempt to become self-reliant. How stupid is that? How arrogant and arrogant people would do this.

Go to him?It's better to find a mountain vine and hang it on a tree with a crooked neck, more or less the whole body can be left behind.

"Mr. Yang! I want to be with you, can I?" Xue Li sat down beside Yang Guang, and asked cautiously, "I have nothing else but strength."

Yang Guang glanced at him very unexpectedly, and asked in surprise: "If I remember correctly, you said you were going home yesterday, why didn't you go home?"

"Actually, the so-called family is only me." When it comes to family, Xue Li's mood becomes very depressed: "My father passed away early, and my mother also died of illness after entering Sichuan; there are a few acres of fertile land in the family, but it is barely enough. I am full, but now that the tax has increased several times, it is not enough for me to eat alone. The reason why I took the prey fur to sell in Chengdu, instead of selling it in Xingle County, is to hope for a good price, and you know the result Instead of going back to starve to death, it is better to follow Mr. Yang to do something big."

"Why do you want to follow us?" Yang Guang glanced at Xue Li and said, "Now that the Sui army has hit Xingle County, your hometown, you can go and join the Sui army, and the Emperor of Sui is in Luo County. If you work hard, you might even get him to meet you, and with your ability, you may not be able to get his attention, if you can enter Luoyang Xuegong Wu Academy to study in the future, your future is limitless."

"I'm just a poor boy. I don't have such big ambitions, and I don't think I'm lucky enough to be received by Emperor Shengwu. Instead of looking for opportunities that are impossible to realize, I'd rather be with Mr. Yang." Xue Li looked at it with some embarrassment. Looking at Yang Yichen, he said very frankly: "Although I don't know what Elder Yang is planning, I know that you are a person with real skills, otherwise you would not have such a powerful follower, so I want to follow Elder Yang and follow him." You guys learn something."

"The boy has good eyesight." Yang Guang smiled dumbly. Xue Li's little tricks naturally couldn't be hidden from him. He knew that this kid mainly wanted to imitate Yang Yichen's skills, because the general of the Tang army who almost killed Xue Li was hit by the unarmed Yang Yichen. Damn it, this huge gap also made Xue Li want to learn art.

"Old Yang." Xue Li looked at Yang Guang uncertainly, "Are you agreeing or not?"

"Follow if you want. Whenever you want to leave, we won't stop you." Yang Guang said indifferently, "But the most urgent thing is to find a place to sleep. When you wake up, you can go to Ziyang City." .”

"Good!" Xue Li said excitedly.

Compared with Xue Li, the others have different ideas. Everyone is a temporary team put together because of the belief of "going out of the city". Now that they have successfully left the city, the common goal has disappeared all of a sudden, and it is time to part.Except for a few people who have the same thoughts as Xue Lihuai, most people tend to take refuge in the Ziyang City Rebel Army. After all, the Ziyang Rebel Army is opening warehouses to release food and recruit talents. attraction.As for the future?Let's talk later when we are full.

Soon, everyone found an uninhabited abandoned village in the upper reaches of Zishui. It seemed that it had been abandoned not long ago. After each found a place to live, they all fell asleep.

It wasn't until noon that Yang Guang woke up leisurely. Except for dozens of people led by him, Yang Yichen, and Li Zhi, only Xue Li, Zhou Qing, Jiang Xingba, and Li Qinghong were left, and the others had disappeared without a trace. film.

Of course, it was because Yang Guang didn't care about these people. If Yang Guang didn't let them go, the guards led by Li Zhi would have already killed corpses all over the ground.

"Before dawn, this group of people talked well, but now they leave without saying goodbye!" Xue Li said indignantly.

"As expected, leaving without saying goodbye is actually the best result, which will save everyone embarrassment." Yang Guang calmly washed his face, and said to Li Zhi: "Xiao Li, give everyone some food."

"Here!" Under the amazed gaze of Xue Li and others, Li Zhi took out a few pancakes from his bag, and there was even shredded pork inside, which seemed to be quite advanced, and so did the others.

In this scene, only Xue Li, Zhou Qing, Jiang Xingba, and Li Qinghong stared.

"Old Yang, so you still have something to eat?" Xue Li took a meat pie from a guard, took a bite, and said vaguely.

"I seem to have never said that there is no food." Yang Guang said with a smile
"Then last night..." Thinking of Yang Guang's stomach rumbling last night despite being hungry, Xue Li was a little puzzled.

"Although our food is enough for hundreds of people, what will we do after sharing? What should we do and what will we eat?" Yang Guang said indifferently: "And these people are destined to leave, and we will never see each other again. Do you think they will be grateful to me?" ?"

"I don't think so. But it's Mr. Yang's food, why give it to them..." At this point, Xue Li was suddenly stunned.He naturally understands the reason why money is not revealed. If Yang Guang took out these food last night, I am afraid that those people would not only not be grateful, but think that Yang Guang and the others have more, so they would feel malicious and seek Yang Guang. Trouble.

"Enlightened?" Yang Guang glanced at Xue Li with a half-smile.

Xue Li smiled wryly, "I've been taught."

"Hurry up and eat when you realize it. We have to go on our way in a while. We have to rely on this food until we reach our destination." Yang Guang sighed. You should stay in Luo County honestly and in peace, and eat a few delicacies cooked by your granddaughter-in-law every day, wouldn't it?He is an old man, so why did he have to come here to suffer these crimes?It's true that you can live if you do evil, but you can't live when you do evil yourself.

But things have come to this point, no matter how hard and tired we can only go on.

……

After hastily clearing up the food in their hands, the group started on their way again, and they didn't arrive near Luoxia Valley where Du Zhenglun and Qin Chong ambushed Han Liang until sunset.However, this place has now been blocked by Tang army scouts, because Han Liang, who was about to retake Ziyang City, had already arrived here the morning before yesterday.

Although there are only a bunch of rioters in the city, they have the advantages of the city wall and are large in number. Han Liang, who has only [-] soldiers, is not in a hurry to start a battle. Yin Kaishan's follow-up army came and attacked again.

And Qin Chong in the city is now at a time when he is full of ambition and infinitely expanding. Since he occupied Ziyang City, he has followed Du Zhenglun's original proposal to open a warehouse to release grain. In a few days, his "army" expanded to 6 or [-] people. This is because Han Liang, who borrowed county soldiers from Yang'an, returned too quickly; People from several counties all came here.

I heard that Han Liang only had 2000 people, and Qin Chong, who had an "army" of tens of thousands, didn't pay much attention to him, and didn't bother to take him seriously.

In the morning of the next day, Qin Chong led an army of [-] out of the city, intending to defeat Han Liang again with an absolute advantage. However, this time, Han Liang, who had few troops, pressed him to the ground and ruthlessly ravaged him. Qin Chong, who recognized the reality, has closed the gate of the city tightly since then, assuming a posture of rejecting the city.

When Qin Chong did this, Han Liang, who was traveling lightly, had nothing to do with him. Breaking Ziyang City was actually not difficult. The difficulty was that Li Shimin told him to break through in a short time, but seeing Qin Chong's posture, he wanted to quickly It may not be easy to regain the city.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Han Liang rubbed his forehead with a headache. Ziyang City is the southern gate of Chengdu Plain. All dynasties have attached great importance to this pass. It can be regarded as a strong city. Although it was only occupied by a group of rioters, he There are only [-] soldiers now, and even with the addition of Yin Kaishan's [-] soldiers, it will be difficult to break through in a short period of time; if we knew this, we should not have fought so fiercely, and should have lured Qin Chong out for a decisive battle.It's all right now, after Qin Chong told him to deal with him severely, even though he was honest, he wouldn't leave the city even if he was killed.

Just when Han Liang was thinking hard about countermeasures, a personal guard came in and saluted: "General Qi, ten people came from outside the tent, claiming to be members of the Crown Princess clan, and they heard that the war is deadlocked, so they came here to help."

"Crown of the Crown Princess?" Han Liang raised his eyebrows. The Crown Princess is naturally Dugu Mingxiu from the Dugu clan. The Dugu clan originally supported Li Yuan's army and the main force of the country, but Li Yuan did not hesitate to let the Dugu clan get more support. Li Shimin divorced his wife and remarried, but after Li Yuan's defeat in Xiangyang, the nobles of Guanlong were very disappointed and began to have different ambitions. In the end, the Dugu faction was bloodbathed. From the head to kill the heroes.

However, it is not his turn to be concerned about this kind of matter. Han Liang only knows that the crown prince Li Shimin is now the actual ruler of the Tang Dynasty, and the crown princess is already the mother of the Tang Dynasty to a certain extent. It's better to offend, not to mention that the other party is here to offer advice, so it's okay to listen to it, if it can really help yourself, that would be great.

Thinking of this, he immediately said: "Please come in."

"Here!"

After a while, Yang Guang, Yang Yichen, and Xue Li followed the Tang army soldier and came to Han Liang's Chinese army tent in a grand manner.

When Yang Guang heard that the Tang army was blocking the road, he broke up his team into pieces. After setting up the assembly point, Yang Guang led a group of people to walk along the official road, while Li Zhi and others went over mountains and mountains. He had been silent for many years, very few people knew him, and the people who knew him in Sichuan were all in Chengdu, and he was not afraid that Han Liang would recognize him, so he came here blatantly, and he bowed slightly: "Duguying sees the general. "

"Mr. Dugu is so polite!" Han Liang saw that Yang Guang's temperament and demeanor gave people a feeling that he was as tall and straight as a green pine, and as clean as ice and snow. At first glance, he was a person of noble origin. It may not be false to say that he is a child of the Dugu family, so Not daring to be negligent, he returned the courtesy and asked, "Since Mr. Dugu is a member of the Crown Princess clan, why did you come here?"

Faced with Han Liang's cross-examination, Yang Guang just smiled and said calmly: "General Hui, I originally hid from the world in Mount Emei. I was invited by the princess to go to Chengdu for a reunion. When I came back, it was during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The army blocked the road, so they planned to take a detour from Ziyang, enter Longshan, and then go to Meishan. Unexpectedly, they met soldiers from Luoxia Valley, and heard that the general was going to capture Ziyang City, so I came to help."

"Mr. claims to be a member of the Crown Princess' clan. I shouldn't have questioned you, but I also know that the Dugu family has a great business and a prosperous population. Many children of the Dugu family conspired to rebel in Xiangyang and were caught by the sage. But Dugu Qingyun, Dugu But Yanyun flooded our Tang Dynasty's more than [-] troops in Gucheng, and Dugu Wudu almost reached Chengdu!" Han Liang snorted coldly and said: "Mr. Yanzhi is not Dugu Qingyun, Dugu Yanyun, Dugu Wudu and others?"

"It's really hard to prove your innocence. But this old man has a guide issued by the court." Yang Guang turned his head to look at Yang Yichen. Yang Yichen handed over the guide he had prepared to the side guard, and he presented it to Han Liang.

Yang Guang and Yang Yichen have been in Yizhou for so long, so there are a lot of these things.

Han Liang took it and saw that it was indeed a real guide, and his attitude became a little gentler: "Come on, let's take a seat."

"Thank you, General." Yang Guang was not polite, and sat down generously, without panic from the beginning to the end, perhaps because of his relieved behavior, which made Han Liang look a little higher. The other party is so handsome, maybe There is really a plan to break the city, so I couldn't help asking: "Mr. Dugu said before that he would help me break the city, but I don't know how to do it like this?"

"The city is just a bunch of refugees. It is said that the mob thinks highly of them. It is not difficult to break them."

Yang Guang's plain voice revealed Taotian's self-confidence, but he didn't say anything about the plan to destroy the city, but instead asked: "General Han, how much food is there in Ziyang City?"

"Probably enough to feed our army for a month, but after these rioters opened warehouses to release food, many people came here upon hearing the news. If the tens of thousands of people in the city ate and drank, they might not be able to last for five days. In fact, even If they save food, it will be exhausted within ten days at most." Speaking of this, Han Liang already understood Yang Guang's meaning, frowned and said, "But I hope to destroy the city before Yin Xiangguo arrives, and I can't wait that long. "

"Does the general think that the leader of the bandits will distribute the food in the city equally?" Yang Guang asked again.

"It's impossible." Han Liang categorically denied that as long as people have the concept of closeness, when food is running out, everyone, including him, will give priority to relatives, friends and soldiers, and it is impossible to achieve absolute fairness , let alone vagrants and disorderly people with little knowledge.

"Since the general thinks so, it's easy to handle." Yang Guang said with a smile: "The general only needs to have people cook meat outside the city, and tell the refugees in the city that as long as they surrender, they don't care about their faults, and they can still eat enough." Rice; those who are willing to donate the pass will be rewarded heavily, within a day, Ziyang will be destroyed!"

"It's that simple?" Han Liang was dumbfounded.

"Does the general think it is difficult?" Yang Guang said with a smile: "Food is a powerful weapon against a group of hungry and crazy people. It is [-] times sharper than knives, guns, swords, halberds, and strong bows and crossbows."

"Oh, I'm so stupid. How could I not have thought of such a simple and practical principle, thanks to my master." Han Liang slapped his head in surprise and joy, walked a few steps in the tent, and asked Fu Xu Smiling Yang Guang saluted, and said excitedly: "Mr. Haojiao learned that I was hungry and crazy before, and that's why I rebelled against that bastard Yang Guang. They all said that the tiger father is a dog son. Put this on Yang Jian, Yang Guang and his son." , is absolutely right."

"..." The smile on Yang Guang's face froze, and he snorted coldly: "You know what. Although the Sui Dynasty unified the world, the contradictions for hundreds of years also concentrated in the Sui Dynasty, so Emperor Wen made drastic reforms, and Emperor Wen The restructuring itself has already touched the interests of the nobles. All of them have been alienated from the royal family of the Sui Dynasty. After the death of Emperor Wen, Yang Guang will have to bear the consequences of his strong medicine. If we go ahead and take more radical measures to reform the system, after Yang Guang, the world will still be in chaos."

"Okay, okay!" Yang Yichen was afraid that Yang Guang would violently hurt people, and if he really wanted to do that, he would not even have time to move the rescuers, so he quickly said to Han Liang: "General Han, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, let's make arrangements as soon as possible."

"Mr. is right! I'm going to arrange it now." Han Liang left happily.

Yang Yichen looked at the furious Yang Guang, feeling very helpless in his heart: They all said that they had crossed mountains and mountains together, but this one refused to do it. He insisted that Ziyang City will be destroyed sooner or later, instead of letting Yin Kaishan's soldiers come to destroy the city , It would be better to help Han Liang regain the position of Ziyang guard, so as to establish a friendly and mutual trust relationship with Han Liang, and lay a solid foundation for recovering this strong city in the future.

But now it's fine.

The plan was accepted by Han Liang unceremoniously, and he would scold you in turn. Are you surprised, surprised, satisfied?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
In the early morning of the next day, the refugee soldiers in Ziyang City were sleeping, but they were soon lured awake by the strong smell of meat. One and two crawled out from behind the parapet, rubbing their sleepy eyes, and saw Under the city where the arrows can't reach, rows of tripod pots are roasted on the fire, and a puff of heat rises from the tripod pots, and the smell of meat and wild vegetables permeates Ziyang City.

Although Qin Chong played the banner of opening warehouses to release grain, there was actually not much food in the city. After tens of thousands of people ate a few meals with their stomachs open, there was not much left. Qin Chong was a frightened person who was hungry. The granary was empty, and he immediately turned his back on his words in a hurry. Except for the fellow villagers who had been with him before, those who came after him would be fine if they drank a little porridge every day.

These refugees who are not direct descendants have not even eaten a dry meal for a few days. At this time, looking at the tripod pots outside the city and smelling the smell of meat, their stomachs growled unconsciously; some people forced themselves to struggle. He moved his eyes away from the cauldron, but the more he did this, the stronger his hunger.

Outside the city, Han Liang looked at the chaotic refugees in the city, and asked Yang Guang beside him, "Is there any problem?"

"Refugees are just ordinary people who can't survive..." Yang Guang sighed, and said with a complicated mood: "If it weren't for the astonishing price of food, these people would not take risks. Speaking of which, I really can't blame them. Is the 'imperial court' unable to provide relief?"

Han Liang was silent when he heard the words, he was just an ordinary general, he couldn't handle this kind of thing, he couldn't handle it, he didn't dare to handle it.

Seeing more and more people in the city, Yang Guang said, "It's almost done, the general can let people speak."

"Okay!" Han Liang waved his hand to let a soldier with a louder voice shout out.

The soldier came to the bottom of the city and shouted at Ziyang City: "People on the city listen carefully: my general knows that you are also forced by life, and you have become rebels when you have to, so I don't want to embarrass you, but Ziyang City It is my Tang Dynasty's military important place to defend the Sui army, and I must take it back. The general couldn't bear to do more evil, so he sent me here to spread the word, as long as you are willing to leave the city and surrender, the food can be eaten by you; those who surrendered the city, and Whoever donates the head of a thief will be rewarded with a hundred shi of grain."

The Sui Dynasty is the largest and most powerful economy in the world today. When the decimal system was implemented for weight and length, let alone the Tang Dynasty. Reward", that is,

10 catties/[-] taels, to these frantic and hungry people in the city, this real food is undoubtedly more attractive than real money.

The key is the battle that took place outside the city the day before yesterday. With only 2000 men, the Tang army killed Qin Chong's [-] "elite soldiers" and fled. The refugees realized that the Tang army was a regular army after all, far from being the enemy of their mob, and it also made most people feel timid. However, they killed officials to rebel and seized the city, and they were already in a desperate situation. I can live a few more days with one hand” and now I suddenly heard that the officers and soldiers can let the past go, and as long as they go out of the city, they will have food to eat. People are busy, whispering and looking around.

"Don't listen to their bewitching, everyone knows how high the price of food is. We can't afford it at all. How can these dog officials be so kind? They are clearly tricking us to go out of the city to die." A small leader saw Many people looked at themselves with malicious eyes, and they yelled loudly in fright.

"Everyone, even if you don't believe me, you should trust the Holy One, right? Many of you used to be slaves, or tenants who had no land or freedom. It was the Holy One who was kind and benevolent, and distributed the land to you. How can such a sage who always thinks of the people do harm to you? Now the sage and the prince have made people stabilize the price of food. I believe it will not take long before the price of food will drop to the previous price." The soldier said: "You Originally, ordinary people who kept their own law and order, it was the greed of profiteers that made you unable to survive. Now the court not only ignores the past, but also stabilizes food prices and provides relief to the victims. Why do you bother to embark on the road of rebellion that must die? You also saw the battle the day before yesterday. You are not an opponent of the imperial court's army at all, if the army arrives and launches a fierce offensive, it will be impossible for you to surrender."

Speaking of this, there was a dead silence above and below the city.

"I'm quitting..." A refugee in the city suddenly turned around and walked down the city: "Sooner or later, I will starve to death here, maybe I will go out and surrender, and I will have a meal of severed head."

"If you want to die, I will fulfill you." The leader of the rioters stepped forward angrily, and was about to kill him with a knife.

"It's not certain who will die!" The refugee avoided the knife, hugged the leader's waist with both hands, suddenly lifted his right knee, and pressed it hard against the leader's crotch.The leader of the rioters is actually just a refugee, and his own combat power is not strong. At this moment, he was caught off guard and was kneeled by the opponent.

"Aww." The leader froze immediately, then fell to his knees in an instant, covering his crotch with his hands, and the sad screams of those who heard it were sad and those who saw it burst into tears: "My egg, my egg! It's over... ..."

The sudden shock made everyone dumbfounded. At this moment, all the men felt a strong pain between their legs.

"Hit him!"

But after a short period of confusion, some people who also wanted to go out and surrender rushed forward, swiping all kinds of weapons in their hands, and amidst the miserable screams of the leader, they beat their heads and faces indiscriminately.

The screams gradually became smaller and finally became silent. After killing the leader of the 'Damn', these fierce rioters threw away the weapons in their hands and said loudly: "Don't do it, don't do it! We He was born and died for Qin Chong, but he didn't even give him a dry meal, and following him will only lead to death."

Seeing someone taking the lead, the timid people who were already timid and worried about gains and losses immediately responded as if they had found the backbone. Some people pulled the winch, lowered the suspension bridge, and some went down to the city and pushed open the heavy city gate.

Seeing this situation, Yang Guang outside the city couldn't help frowning. Although he concluded that the gang of rioters had successfully instigated rebellion, he was shocked by their weak will to resist. It seems that following Yang Tong's example in Shu County Li Yuan, who shared the land evenly, made a good move, so even after he lost his power, he still had a reputation and reputation in Shuzhong that Li Shimin could not match.No wonder Dong'er, who has always done things vigorously and vigorously, is still procrastinating and conspiring with the puppet Tang Dynasty that is still alive. Now it seems that this is quite necessary.

At this time, the refugees who left the city, led by the soldiers of the Tang army, began to compete for the food in the big tripod jar, and they ate it. Yang Guang felt his heart move, and said to the excited Han Liang with malicious intentions: "General Han, Your food is probably not enough for these people to eat, you should report this matter to the court as soon as possible, and ask the important officials in the court to allocate food as soon as possible."

"Naturally!" Han Liang nodded and said, "I will immediately report this matter to the imperial court. It is all due to the credit of my husband that I was able to retake Ziyang City without bloodshed, and I will report it together."

"General." Yang Guang laughed. Han Liang said in the name and reputation of Li Yuan and Li Shimin that the price of food fell and the victims were relieved, so that these refugees surrendered without a fight. People must be disappointed with Li Yuan and Li Shimin. When this incident gets out one by one, the father and son's reputation of "love the people like a son" and "help the world and the people" will quickly collapse. Without the support of the people, the fun will be great.

Seeing that the city gate was open, Han Liang immediately sent troops into the city. Although there were still a large number of refugees in the city, how could these people be the opponents of Tang Jun?Not even a decent response.

At this time, Qin Chong, who didn't know that the city was lost, was still sleeping carefree, that Uncle Mo suddenly broke in and shouted anxiously: "Boss, something is wrong!"

Qin Chong was woken up, and yelled, "Howling for what? Could it be that the sky is falling?"

"It's worse than the sky falling." Uncle Mo said with a mournful face, "Boss, the officers and soldiers have already entered the city!"

"Eh?" Qin Chong was stunned, and it took him a long time to react. He said angrily, "Didn't I deploy [-] 'elite soldiers' on the city? How could the Tang army be able to attack?"

"Boss, it's true!" Uncle Mo sighed, "The officers and soldiers used food as bait, and the soldiers in the city surrendered en masse."

"Tang Jun is too cunning and immoral! And those bastards are all white-eyed wolves who eat inside and outside." Qin Chong cursed:
"Boss, the officers and soldiers are coming here, what should we do now?" Several subordinates rushed in and reported anxiously.

"What else can we do? Of course it's important to escape!" Qin Chong said as a matter of course, while putting on his clothes: "I heard that Niujia County is also occupied by a group of heroes, so let's go and join them."

"The chief is wise." Everyone heard that it was not hard work, and they all smiled. Qin Chong gathered all the cronies in the government office, and a group of people took some property and food. Taking advantage of the chaos in the city, they opened the east gate. , and fled in the direction of Niutang County.

……

"This thief runs quite fast!" When Han Liang heard that Qin Chong had escaped, he shook his head regretfully, but he didn't take it too seriously. The person called 'Ugly Military Division', because he was making plans in secret, and he didn't expect that there was such a number one person among the refugees, he threw Ziyang carelessly.

That Qin Chong has some martial arts skills, but his ability to command troops is a mess, appalling, of little value, he just runs away, it doesn't matter.The top priority is to restore the smoky mess of Ziyang City as soon as possible, so as to meet the upcoming decisive battle of the Sui and Tang Dynasties
"General, Mr. Dugu, please see me." As soon as he returned to the mansion where he had been away for three days, some soldiers came to report to Yang Guang asking to see him.

"Please hurry up!" Han Liang has no intention of underestimating Yang Guang now. Ziyang City, a fortified city, was broken in less than two hours after the other party said a few words. The ancient Kong Ming, if he is willing to serve the imperial court, he must be the mainstay.

After a while, Yang Guang walked in with Yang Yichen and Xue Li, cupped his hands and said, "See General."

"Excuse me sir." Han Liang smiled and said, "Thanks to sir, I was able to take back Ziyang City."

"The general is serious. In fact, the people in the city have no desire to resist after the general fights. The reason why they have persisted until now is that they have no choice. Now that there is a way out, surrender is a matter of course." Yang Guang said realistically. After that, he explained the purpose of coming to meet: "The matter in Ziyang is over, and the old man is here to bid farewell to the general."

"Why do you want to leave, Mister?" Han Liang reluctantly asked, "With Mister's wisdom, there must be a lot to accomplish."

"I don't want to be an official, otherwise I would have held an important position in Chengdu." Afraid that the other party would force him to stay, Yang Guang added with a hidden smile: "After all, the princess is the younger generation of the old man!"

"That's true!" Han Liang smiled knowingly, and then sighed again, "Since the master's ambition is not here, I can't force him to stay. I don't have anything here to show my gratitude, so let someone prepare some food. , talk about your heart."

Yang Guang has a large number of people, and now that food is a hard currency in Sichuan, he naturally would not foolishly refuse, and quickly said: "In this case, the old man will be disrespectful."

After some emergency preparations, the soldiers not only brought a lot of food, but Han Liang also had some donkeys brought in for Yang Guang and the others to travel.After Yang Guang thanked him, he took the pass token, and the group went straight out of the east gate.
