Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 734 Self-reliance
During the mutiny last night, Yang Xiu and his son were imprisoned in the Xiaoguo barracks.

Yang Xiucai was 44 years old at this time.

But Sima Dekan and others thought it was inappropriate. After all, if Yang Tan was difficult to control, then Yang Xiu was even more difficult to control.

"Qin King Yang Hao is usually humble, how about setting him up?"

Yu Wenzhiji said at this time that he protected Yang Hao not only because Yang Hao was from the royal family, but also because Yang Hao had always had a good relationship with him.Yang Hao was the son of Emperor Yang Guang's brother Qin Wang Yang Jun. He died of illness in the 20th year of Kaihuang.

Yang Hao is the eldest son of Yang Jun, but Yang Hao's mother, Concubine Cui, was poisoned and murdered because of Yang Jun's illness, so Cui's family was bestowed to death.Although Yang Hao had to inherit the throne, he had no position or power.

Yang Hao has always been a man with his tail between his legs these years. He was involved in Yang Xuangan's rebellion before and was convicted and dismissed.

"Then establish Yang Hao, and the rest of the clan and relatives, no matter how old or young, will not stay."

Sima Dekan thought that Empress Xiao could order Yang Hao to be the emperor, and then live in another palace and send troops to guard him, and only let him sign and issue the imperial edict.

"Can!"

Yu Wenhuaji also thought that it would be better for Xiao to come forward and establish Yang Hao as emperor, so he decided on such a big matter.Now that Yang Hao was established, the emperor's grandson Yang Tan would naturally not be able to stay, and the king of Shu Yang Xiu and his seven sons, as well as the sons of the king of Qi, could not keep any of them.

In addition, the royal relatives, such as Dugu's family, were killed because Dugu Sheng and Dugu Kaiyuan resisted before, so they were all killed.

Before the new Emperor Yong came to the throne, Yu Wenhuaji immediately distributed all the officials.

He took his younger brother Yuwen Zhiji as Shangshu Zuopushe, Yuwenshiji as the internal history order, Sima Dekan as the general of Zuo Xiaowei, and Yuan Li as the general of You Xiaowei.

For the rest of the rebellious followers, they will all be promoted to rank.

For Li Yuan, Shen Guang, Chen Leng and others in Daying Jiangbei, Yu Wenhuaji also conferred Li Yuan as Nayan, Chen Leng as Shangshu Youpushe, and Shen Guang as Zuoyiwei General, and called them to the pilgrimage to meet with them. emperor.

On the other side, Yu Wenhuaji asked Sima Dekan, Yuan Li, Zhao Xingshu, Chen Botu and other Xiaoguo army generals to strengthen the city defense and prepare to fight the Jiangbei army.

In private, he also detained the family members of some generals of the Jiangbei camp, using this as a threat to force them to surrender.

On the other hand, he also named Lai Huer from Pengcheng as Tai Bao, Shang Shuling of Jin Dynasty, and gave him the title of General You Yiwei, allowing him to return to the court.Because Lai Huer had several sons in Jiangdu, all of them were in his hands at this time, so he sent one of them to Pengcheng to proclaim the decree.

Jiangbei Camp.

It is only fifty miles away from Jiangdu City.

Chen Leng and Shen Guang were commanders, commanding [-] Xiaoguo troops to intercept Du Fuwei here.

When Li Yuan fled here in the middle of the night with his son and son-in-law and some accompanying relatives, friends and officials, supported by hundreds of Dingbuqu, Shen Guang thought it was Du Fuwei's devious night attack.

Finally confirmed the identity.

"Why did Mr. Tang come here late at night?"

Chen Leng asked in surprise.

"Could it be that Du Zei Gaoyou's partial division has already invaded Jiangdu?"

Li Yuan panted heavily.

"Du Thief's partial division is still stationed in Gaoyou, northeast of Jiangdu, and has not been dispatched yet, but Xiaoguo of Jiangdu has rebelled."

"Yu Wenhuaji, Sima Dekan, Yuan Li, Pei Qiantong and others are making trouble."

Shen Guang and others were shocked.

"I came here to move you back to King Qin to save you!" Li Yuan said.

"Yu Wenhuaji and Sima Dekan have turned against them? How is this possible? They are all former ministers of His Majesty Yuan Cong, and they are confidantes."

Li Yuan said, "What time is it? How could I deceive you? In the current situation, even King Qi dares to rebel. What is impossible? Hurry up and raise troops, otherwise, I'm afraid it will be too late."

Shen Guang and Chen Leng looked at each other in blank dismay, they both wondered if Li Yuan was the opposite.

After all, the opposite is Du Fuwei's army, he is Luo Cheng's best friend, and Li Yuan is Luo Cheng's father-in-law, besides, the emperor has been suspicious of Li Yuan before.

"Don't be in a hurry, Mr. Tang, take a break, and I'll send someone to inquire about it right away."

Chen Ling and Shen Guang didn't act immediately, they were worried about Li Yuan, and after discussing it, they decided to send a cavalry back to Jiangdu city to see what happened.

"Hey, if you are like this, you must make a mistake."

But the second general Shen Chen couldn't believe Li Yuan either.

"Since that's the case, I just want to remind you one thing. Hurry up and control the cliques of Yu Wenhua and Sima Dekan in Daying Jiangbei, and don't let them take the opportunity to make trouble." Li Yuan said.

Shen Guang patted his chest and said, "My Jiangbei camp is dominated by the Xiaoguo Zuoyi Army, and there are Jianghuai soldiers and horses. There is no Sima Yuwen's party, so don't worry."

Having said that, Shen Guang and Chen Leng left Li Yuan and his group behind, and after sending people to watch, they immediately summoned the generals, and while sending people to Jiangdu City, they began to investigate.

This investigation turned up some things.

There is really a military academy preparing to cause chaos, and they are colluding around.

They originally wanted to wait for the major event in Jiangdu to be settled before starting another incident, so that they could coerce Chen Leng, Shen Guang and the others to accept Jiangdu's will.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuan came suddenly and broke their plan.

This is also due to the fact that most of the soldiers in the Jiangbei Camp were recruited by the Jianghuai Army and the Central Plains. Compared with Sima Dekan and the others who started the incident in Jiangdu mainly from Guanzhong, these people really did not want to escape so urgently. Jiangdu.

By the time Chen Ling, Shen Guang and the others interrogated them clearly, it was already noon.

The emissaries of Jiangdu's decree have all arrived.

"Your Majesty's big move? Will the king of Qin succeed to the throne, Yu Wenhua and assist the government?"

After receiving the edict, Shen Guang was furious.

At this time, he also understood that what Li Yuan said was the truth, but it was a pity that they were still one step too late.

He was extremely regretful, and he was even more furious at the envoy who came to announce the decree, "Pull these rebels out and behead them!"

Li Yuan and others were welcomed over.

"I didn't expect the traitor to be so fast."

Shen Guang cupped his hands to Li Yuan, "Li Xiang, what should we do now?"

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and was also thinking in his heart. In fact, since the rebellion last night, he has been thinking about it, where is he going?

When he escaped from Jiangdu City, he had two choices, one was to flee north to the military camp of his daughter Sanniang in Linyi.Going to Linyi is naturally going to Luo Cheng.

Another option is to go west, to Jiangbei Daying.

In the end, he went to Jiangbei Daying, but it was still a step late.

Now, it's time to choose again.

Yu Wenhuaji has already killed the king, and has taken control of Jiangdu City. He also supported Yang Hao, the king of Qin, and has [-] to [-] soldiers and horses in his hands.

Li Yuan asked Chen Leng and Shen Guang.

"Two generals, what are your plans?"

Without further ado, Shen Guang said, "Naturally, we will gather troops and horses, return to Jiangdu, and kill the rebels."

"And then?" Li Yuan asked.

Chen Leng thought for a while, "Embrace the empress and help the emperor's coffin back to Xijing?"

Hearing the second general's reply, Li Yuan finally made his own decision.
