Although it was Yang Daji who came here on his own initiative tonight, the series of things that happened after that were all beyond his expectation.
When Yang Wen'an was stabbed and injured and fell to the ground, he was stunned on the spot.
Before he could react, there were shouts and shouts, and other soldiers outside came over to kill him.
"Kill Yang Wen'an, Yang Wencan!"
This was not an order from Yang Daqi, but when he looked back in the chaos, he could no longer find who was stirring up trouble.
His men rushed into the mourning hall, and there were also people in the mourning hall who came to kill Yang Daqi.
"Third uncle?! What are you doing?!"
"Yang Dacheng, you colluded with Li Xia to kill the commander!"
"I don't……"
Yang Dajie drew his sword and blocked it twice. He had some doubts in his heart that he might have guessed wrong. Maybe it was not Yang Wen'an who killed Yang Dayuan.
"Stop fighting, we fell into Li Xia's trap..."
He looked at Zhong Jie and guessed that Zhong Jie was secretly seeking refuge with Li Xia, deliberately stirring up trouble and driving a wedge between him and Yang Wen'an.
Turning his head, he saw Zhong Jie shouting "Protect the deputy commander" and rushing towards him. At the same time, a knife was coming out of Zhong Jie's heart, with blood still dripping from the tip of the knife.
The body fell down, and Yang Daqi saw one of his own soldiers shouting "Kill Yang Wen'an" while the knife in his hand was slashing at other soldiers.
There are several such people in the team.
Yang Daqi was shocked and couldn't figure out what was going on.
In this moment of distraction, he felt a pain in his back, and he had been stabbed. That is to say, his armor was thicker than Zhong Jie's, so it did not kill him for a while.
Yang Daqi slashed away the man who had injured him with his backhand. Looking around, he saw that more and more soldiers were surrounding him, but no one in the mourning hall believed in him.
"Walk!"
Although his talents are not as good as those of his brother and nephew, after all he has served in the army for many years, he can still quickly see the situation clearly and retreat decisively.
~~
When things developed to this point, Yang Wencan finally recovered from his shock.
He jumped up excitedly, pointed outside the mourning hall and shouted: "Chase! Chase! It was the third uncle who colluded with Li Xia to kill my father! The third uncle is a traitor!"
When the generals in the hall saw Yang Daqi retreating, they recovered from their shock and looked at Yang Wen'an one after another.
Obviously, they only followed Yang Wen'an's lead.
Yang Wen'an was originally the most outstanding of the Yang family's children, and he made great achievements in battle at a young age. When he retreated from Sichuan and Sichuan with Brother Mo, he defeated the Lu family's army with only 500 cavalry.
This time, from the moment Yang Dayuan went to see Li Xia, he was the only one who kept calm. He asserted from the beginning that Li Xia was not trustworthy and decisively decided to kill Li Xia. Unfortunately, he was stopped.
After Yang Dayuan died, everyone insisted that the murderer was Li Xia. Only Yang Wen'an was still doubting and interrogating. Even the important officials from Yanjing dared to question.
Despite the turmoil, only his performance can be called loyalty, filial piety, bravery, wisdom and trust...
At this time, in the eyes of everyone, Yang Wen'an raised his hand covering the wound. His palm was bloody, but he still stopped the noise in the hall.
"Take down the third uncle, but don't hurt his life. Let me ask him clearly."
"yes!"
"The most urgent task at the moment is the night attack by the Song army. Please defend the city with all your strength. I will be there soon after I have bandaged my wounds."
"Don't worry, Commander. The ditch is deep, the walls are high, and there are enough arrows. The Song army can't attack..."
The word "marshal" is really too heavy for a twenty-three-year-old young man.
Today, we can count on one hand all the people who have taken up the post of marshal at this age, such as Li Xia and Wang Weizheng.
After his father Yang Daquan died in battle, he got a mere martial arts official, who was the 30th rank among the 53 ranks of military ministers...
Yang Wen'an bound his wounds and put on the armor that originally belonged to Yang Dayuan.
Very heavy.
But he is tall and can bear it.
He is more powerful than Yang Dayuan.
He put on his armor and walked towards the city. Soldiers came one after another to report.
"Commander, Yang Daqi opened the city gate and let the Song army enter the west city..."
Yang Wen'an frowned, not daring to delay any longer, and personally led the troops towards the west city.
Although he was young, he was indeed a fierce general, and he had the advantage of the location and the people. After fighting fiercely for more than an hour, he finally drove the Song army back from the city.
Zhang Jue had no intention of occupying Semen Village this time. His main purpose was to harass. He took advantage of the situation and burned two armories, and withdrew before reinforcements from other Mongolian villages arrived.
This was considered Yang Wen'an's first victory as commander-in-chief, but his face looked a little gloomy.
Because Yang Dajie fled with Zhang Jue.
Yang Wen'an stretched his bow and aimed into the darkness for a long time, but found no target, so he shot casually.
A horse neighed in the distance, and then the Song army retreated faster...
~~
"I never thought that it was Yang Daqi who colluded with Li Xia to kill Marshal Yang."
"It's now clear that Li Xia was prepared. He first bribed his third uncle and used his third uncle to trick his second uncle into meeting him."
"Afterwards, Marshal Yang failed to be persuaded by him and he shot Marshal Yang."
"Yes, I was originally wondering why he killed the second uncle? It turned out that he failed to persuade him to surrender, so he planned to help the third uncle to take over the army."
When Xu Heng heard this, he sighed.
It was not Yang Dajie who was sighing.
In the past, there were rarely such power struggles in the families of princes, because the Mongolian Kingdom was constantly expanding. As long as you had the ability, there was no need to fight for power at home.
Now there are three big changes.
First, after the Li Fen Rebellion, Kublai Khan began to reduce the power of the Shihou family. This approach can be said to have personally provoked internal strife in the Shihou family.
Second, the struggle for the throne of the Mongolian Khan has not stopped, and the brothers of the Golden family are fighting. The kings have taken sides one after another, and the internal fighting has become more intense.
Third, Li Xia invaded Guanlong and Hexi, which curbed his external expansion; this time he rushed to attack Li Xia, but then retreated temporarily, which caused confusion among people and triggered internal strife.
If the external enemies are not strong, this kind of internal fighting in the noble family is a good thing.
But Li Xia is obviously keeping an eye on this matter and making a fuss about it, determined to take the opportunity to stir up trouble.
Xu Heng realized that after returning to Beijing, he must persuade Kublai Khan to change his strategy of weakening the power of the prince again.
After coming back to his senses, he continued Yang Wen'an's words and commented on Li Xia casually.
"Excellent in assassination and instigation, an assassin and a powerful spy will never be able to get on the stage."
"yes."
In Yang Wen'an's eyes, the difference between Li Xia and Kublai Khan is not actually here.
The difference is that Kublai Khan has the accumulation of three generations, and the foundation accumulated by Genghis Khan, Tuo Lei, and Meng Ge can only be described as terrifying.
Li Xia didn't.
Plus Kublai Khan was even more generous.
That's it, everything else is empty.
He didn't mind Li Xia's background as an assassin, but he didn't care about his reputation or feelings.
After resigning to Xu Heng, Yang Wen'an walked towards the mourning hall again.
Yang Wenzhong was kneeling there.
"Brother."
"Come with me, if you have something to say."
"That's it again."
"Let's go, don't interview me in front of my uncle."
…
The two brothers walked up to the lookout, not afraid that anyone could hear their conversation.
Yang Wenzhong turned his back to Yang Wenan and said, "I might kill you."
"If eldest brother kills me, my uncle's hard work will be ruined."
"Do you still know about your uncle's hard work?"
"On the night of surrender, in Dahuo City, my uncle told us, didn't he? Now that we have chosen this path, we must go on and keep our family prosperous."
Yang Wen'an said, holding on to the railing and looking at the night sky. He was not on guard against his brother. He sighed and said: "After Li Fen's rebellion was settled, someone must have told my brother that His Majesty intends to promote some young generals, and he is worried about his uncle."
Ah, especially so close to Li Xia."
Yang Wenzhong did not answer.
"Brother can guess that it's me, and the reaction is like this, which means there are people from His Majesty around me, so they should be able to understand me."
"No matter what, you shouldn't kill your uncle."
"When my father died in the war, my eldest brother was seven years old, right?"
"Um."
"I don't recognize my father. I only remember that my uncle said he was loyal and loyal. This loyalty lasted my whole life, but on the day of surrender, it was replaced by preservation..."
"This is no reason for you to take action against the relatives who raised you!"
"My uncle told me. He said to go with the flow, so we abandoned the loyalty that my uncle had said all his life and went with the flow. What happened? Brother Meng died. On the way out of Sichuan, we had to say that we
The Yang family is no longer the dogs of the Song Dynasty. Look at how well those Mongolian princes are living. It’s not worth it for us to sacrifice our lives for the Song Dynasty. Big brother, remember? My uncle is envious of the princes and hopes that the Yang family can be like that.
.When he was a prince, he was a prince, but in the end he regretted it, and everyone’s work was in vain? Yesterday he said he wanted to be a local emperor, and today he said he wanted to go back to being a dog. Who can agree?!"
"Everyone?"
"What else? I didn't want to touch my third uncle, but someone reported it to me as soon as he became suspicious. Otherwise, do you think I can do it alone? Can I do it flawlessly by myself? Do you think you are the only one who can see it?"
"you……"
"I have been chosen. From His Majesty to Mr. Lu Zhai, to the officers and men of the army, they all chose me." Yang Wen'an sighed: "I have no way out."
Yang Wenzhong was silent, turned his back helplessly, looked at the dots of fire in the continuous fortress, and did not answer for a long time.
Should I avenge my uncle?
He was distracted as he thought about it.
Surrendering is not scary. What is scary is that the bottom line that you hold on to in your heart retreats again and again, as if it has retreated into a big rout, and your faith has collapsed.
After a long time, Yang Wen'an saw that his brother was silent and knew that his brother had figured it out, so he raised his hand and patted his shoulder.
"Brother, since you understand, just help me. Why bother yourself?"
"What makes me sad is that we brothers treated our uncle like this."
"My uncle was really wrong this time. Since his lifelong loyalty has been ruined, and he only cares about his interests, he should stop looking forward to fame. Otherwise, he will end up making a mistake by focusing on one thing and not the other."
"A broken mirror can never be put back together again?"
"There is no turning back when the bow is drawn."
After a while, Yang Wenzhong asked again: "My third uncle has escaped, what should I do?"
"I really didn't expect it, but it doesn't matter. It's confirmed that he colluded with Li Xia..."
