The carriage stopped in front of the mansion, Yang Yuanqing jumped out of the carriage and walked quickly in front of Lao Bu, "Su Lie, is it you?"
The young general waiting at the door was Su Lie. He turned over and dismounted and bowed to Yang Yuanqing, "General Yang, I want to go to Dali City with you!"
"Do you want to join the army?" Yang Yuanqing asked.
“That’s right!”
After pondering for a moment, Yang Yuanqing asked again: "Do your father agree?"
Su Lie lowered his head and stared at the ground. After a while, he slowly said: "I left home since I was twelve years old and traveled everywhere in the world. My father never asked."
"But you go to Inuli City differently, you may die because of it..."
"If a man dies in the battlefield, he will die as much as possible."
"No! Listen to me." Yang Yuanqing stopped him, "Entering the army is different from traveling. Once you join the army, you will no longer be you. You will even spend your whole life in the frontier, if one day you
If you want to leave the army, you will face the misfortune of being executed as a deserter. The suffering of being a soldier is not something you can imagine. You travel to the city of Italy. As the master, I welcome you, where are you staying for a year or two
There is no problem, but if you want to join the army, I hope you can be cautious."
"Young man, you can go and experience a couple of rooms first, and then decide." Yang Su pulled the curtain next to him and smiled.
Yang Yuanqing quickly introduced Su Lie to his grandfather, "Grandfather, this is my friend, from Guyuan County, surnamed Su and his name are one year younger than me, and he is Li Jing's apprentice. He had been to Dali City a few months ago and also participated.
Battle of Lehu."
When Su Lie heard Yang Yuanqing call him grandfather, he knew that the old man was Yang Su, the most powerful minister of the Sui Dynasty. He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to investigate, "Su Lie, I, see Yang Taipu!"
Yang Su nodded and said to him with a kind heart: "A real man should have a great ambition. Yuan Qing joined the army at the age of ten, and at the age of fifteen, he fought on the battlefield. Although he was my grandson, he did not get any of it.
Preferential treatment, if you have ambitions, you can go the same path as him.”
Su Lie nodded, "I will remember Yang Dapu's words in my heart."
Yang Su stroked her beard and smiled, waved her hand, and drove to the mansion. When her grandfather's carriage entered the mansion, Yang Yuanqing smiled and said, "I am on the order of the emperor to go to Hebei to perform secret missions, and may have the worries of life.
Would you like to go with me?"
"If I could take me there, of course I would go there!"
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll pack up, and we'll set off right away."
Yang Yuanqing entered the mansion and prepared. A quarter of an hour later, he brought eighteen Yang Su's iron shadow guards out of the mansion. Everyone turned over and turned their horses and turned their carriages to the Mingde Gate in the east of the city and rushed towards the clouds that had just come out.
The morning glow, twenty war horses ran eastward like lightning.
In the Jinyang County, Taiyuan Prefecture, in the Bingzhou General Administration, King Yang Liang of Han was walking back and forth in the room with his back. King Yang Liang of Han was Yang Jian's fifth son and Yang Jian's favorite son. His fiefdom was not only Bingzhou,
It also includes the vast land of Jizhou, which extends Yang Liang's jurisdiction to the sea, which is the former former land of Northern Qi.
Since Yang Guang was crowned as the crown prince, Yang Liang's door of ambition has also been opened. If it weren't for the eldest son, why would he have no chance? As Yang Jian's favorite youngest son, Yang Bi believes that he is the replacement.
The best candidate for the elder brother to ascend the throne, soon, King Yang Xiu of Shu was convicted, and Yang Liang was extremely uneasy.
It was from that time that Yang Liang used the excuse of defending against the Turks to recruit soldiers on a large scale, build weapons, and recruit desperadoes.
His ambition was finally noticed by Yang Jian. At this moment, a group of Turks attacked the border, and Yang Liang's army failed to fight against the Turks. Yang Jian used this as an excuse to sue more than 80 confidant generals of Yang Liang and exiled them.
Lingnan severely attacked Yang Liang's power.
Just when Yang Jian was preparing to further reduce the vassal states, unfortunately he died in Renshou Palace, which allowed Yang Liang to escape, and at the same time made him think that his time had come. Tan Liang finally made up his mind to raise the flag to seize the throne.
At this moment, in addition to Yang Liang's confidants, there was also a man in black in his thirties standing in the room. The man was a messenger from the capital. He did not bring any evidence and his master would not let anyone.
The handle fell into Yang Liang's hands, and the man in black was just to tell the information or not. It was up to Yang Liang to decide whether he believed it or not.
Yang Liang stopped and said to the man: "Go back and tell you the owner of the family. I am very grateful for his news. I will remember his favor."
Yang Liang ordered a Shiwei, "Reward him ten taels of gold and send him away!"
The man in black thanked him for his gratitude and retreated. Yang Liang kept waiting for him to walk away. Then he smiled proudly and said, "I didn't expect that there was a conflict within Yang Guang. Do you think it's true?"
There were four people sitting in the room, headed by a veteran with white hair and beard. This person was Xiao Moha, the famous general of the Chen Dynasty. He was already seventy years old, but he was still brave and strong. After the Chen Dynasty was destroyed,
He was named the Kaifu Yitong Sansi by Emperor Yang Jian of Sui and has been following Yang Liang. This time, Yang Liang delayed the rebellion. He was an active promoter. The person sitting next to him was Yang Liang's adviser Wang Juan and Wang Xiangshi
The son of the hero of a generation, King Sengbian, was about fifty years old, three feet long beards and elegant in appearance. He had the best relationship with Xiao Maha.
There are also two people who are also Yang Liang's confidants, one is Qiao Zhongkui, the governor of Lanzhou, and the other is Pei Wen'an, the general manager. These four people are Yang Liang's four confidants and the basis for Yang Liang's rebellion.
"I think this is a bit suspicious."
Xiao Maha frowned and said, "I can't imagine how Yang Guang could let an unknown young general do this big thing? Is it because this person is Yang Su's grandson?"
Wang Juan gently stroked her long beard and said, "I think this is true. Although yang Yuanqing is Yangsu's grandson, I think he must have something extraordinary, and yang Guang will give him this important task.
From the fact that Yang Guang appointed the steady and experienced Yang Su as the head coach, but not the most favored Yuwen Shu, we can see that Yang Guang was very cautious. His appointment of Yang Yuanqing to do this was not a temporary heartbroken, and
This inference is true.”
Yang Rong nodded, Wang Juan made a point, with Yang Guang's caution, he would not send him to Youzhou just because Yang Yuanqing was the grandson of Yang Su. If Yang Yuanqing was an incompetent person, Yang Su
He would not agree with Yang Guang's consent, as this person must be outstanding.
At this time, Lanzhou Governor Qiao Zhongkui smiled and said, "I know a little about Yang Yuanqing."
Yang Liang suddenly turned around and stared at him and said, "Tell me, what's going on with this person."
"This person is the garrison of Dali City, Fengzhou. Five years ago, when he was a 10-year-old boy, he was admired by the late emperor for offering a plan to pacify Hu in the Taiye Hall. He went to war with the army. In the battle of the 19th year of Kaihuang, he was seriously injured by Datou.
Khan seized his king's flag and became famous in his battle."
"So it was him!" The others reacted, and they all heard about it. Yang Liang even knew that Yang Yuanqing was deeply loved by his father and was rewarded with him with the Golden Lin Sword.
"If it was him, I would send troops to intercept him immediately!" Yang Liang said decisively.
Wang Juan smiled, "Your Highness, I suggest that we don't need to interfere in this matter."
Yang Liang was stunned, "Why is this?"
Wang Di said without any haste: "Actually, this is a good thing. Didn't Dou Kang always hesitate? As long as we tell him about this, he will know that Yang Guang has already dealt with him and let him deal with Yang Yuanqing.
, wouldn’t he be determined to follow His Highness?”
"Wang Chanjun is indeed brilliant?"
Yang Liang praised repeatedly: "Let Dou Kang see with his own eyes how Yang Guang deals with him, and he will know how he should choose."
Xiao Mohe next to him was a little worried, "What if Dou Kang can't deal with Yang Yuanqing?"
Yang Liang sneered, "Yang Yuanqing has no soldiers or soldiers. If Dou Kangruo can't even deal with this person, what kind of face does he have to be the general manager of Youzhou?"
After the discussion, everyone retreated, but Pei Wen'an, the general manager, stayed. Yang Liang saw that he stopped just now, and knew that he had something to say. He took a sip of tea and then slowly said: "You
Is there anything else to say?”
Pei Wen'an was born in the Pei family of Wenxi County, but he was just a concubine. He was arrogant and talented, but he was depressed and unsuccessful in the family. However, Pei Wen'an was highly appreciated by Yang Liang and planned to manage 50,000 si soldiers for Yang Liang.
Pei Wen'an bowed and said, "Your Highness, I want to remind you of your highness for two things."
"You say! I'll listen."
"The first thing is that Bei Zhi wants to remind Your Highness that Xiao Mohe and Wang Juan are from the Chen Dynasty after all, so you should not value them too much. Bei Zhi doubts them..."
Before Pei Wen'an finished speaking, Yang Liang interrupted him impatiently, "I know this in my heart. Now that the war is in progress, don't doubt the general randomly and tell me the second thing about you!"
Seeing that Yang Liang was unwilling to listen to this matter more, Pei Wen'an felt helpless and had to say again: "The second thing is that Hu Zhi suggested to attack the capital quickly."
Yang Liang was very interested in this suggestion. He immediately sat up and said, "You can say more specific."
"Your Highness, it is still time for Yang Guang to gather troops. We should seize this opportunity and lead the jingzhi to attack Guanzhong, first defeat Puzhou, then seize Pujin Pass. Your Highness leads a large army and then stations troops in Bashang, and waves to the west of the capital.
If you decide, the capital will inevitably be shocked. The court and the upper and lower levels will suspect each other. We will use our benefits to persuade the capital defenders to surrender. Within ten days, major events will be settled. I wonder what Your Highness thinks?"
Yang Liang pondered for a moment, but he was still a little hesitant. Two days ago, Wang Juan advised him to seize the former territory of Northern Qi, because most of his soldiers and generals were from Guandong, and it was easier to obtain their support from the former territory of Northern Qi, but Pei Wen'an's suggestion made him a little more
If you can capture the capital within ten days, you can try it.
"Your Highness, you might as well give it a try. No, let's make a long-term plan."
Yang Liang finally made up his mind, "Okay! I will appoint you as the pioneer, act according to your plan, and seize Puzhou and Pujin Pass for me."
In the dark night, a carriage drove away from the General Administration Office. Xiao Maha and Wang Ling sat in the carriage. Xiao Maha was once the general of Wang Sengbian, the father of Wang Xiang. Although Xiao Maha surrendered to Chen Baxian, the king
Monk Bian was killed by Chen Baxian, but it was a thing of fifty years ago. At this time, they were both old ministers of the Southern Dynasty, and they were all full of nostalgia for it. They thought that the power of the Sui Dynasty made them think of restoring the country in the end.
It was just a dream, but at this time, Yang Liang's rebellion brought a glimmer of hope to their dream of restoring the country.
"With my strategy and my courage, I think how much hope is there for our great cause of restoration?" Xiao Maha's thick eyebrows became a heavy black line.
Wang Juan shook the feather fan and smiled: "The key is that Yang Liang can't really seize power successfully. If he seizes the imperial power, then he will be the Emperor of Sui. If we want to restore the country, it will only be the moon in the water, so I advise you
Yang Liang seized the Northern Qi territory and formed a tripod with Yang Guang. Then the old general led his army south, nominally seizing Jiankang for Yang Liang. As long as the old general's army crossed the river, we waved our arms and cheered up, the southern Chinese people
We will definitely raise the flag to respond, and then our great cause of restoration will be half successful."
"The key is to stop Yang Liang from entering Guanzhong west and forming a tripod with Yang Guang at the same time, that's it!"
"Yes! This is not a requirement. Secondly, I have to find the descendants of Emperor Chen. I have sent my confidant to search in the south and I should gain something."
Xiao Maha sighed a long time, his heart full of infinite nostalgia for his homeland. He is a famous Chinese family, how could he become a slave to the Xianbei dynasty?
"One more thing."
Wang Juan pondered for a moment and said again: "Please send someone to intercept Yang Yuanqing."
"Why?" Xiao Maha asked in confusion.
Wang Juan said coldly: "If Yang Yuanqing is killed, Yang Guang will know that the situation is critical and will inevitably send heavy troops to defend. Yang Liang's plan to attack the capital will also become a bubble, so he has to choose separatist. Only when he is separatist can we
Have a chance."
In the vast Central Plains, the Taihang Mountains are like a giant dragon that stretches across the north and south, stretching for thousands of miles, separating Hedong and Hebei into two.
Over the past thousand years, the road across the Taihang Mountains has gradually formed eight important passages, known as the Eight Passes of Taihang, among which Jingxing is the most important. It is a direct passage connecting Taiyuan Prefecture in Hedong and Youzhou in Hebei. It has been a must-have for military strategists since ancient times.
A place to fight for.
There is an important pass on the east and west of this passage. It is Jingxing Pass to the west of Taihang Mountain, controlled by the army of King Yang Liang of Han, and to the east of Taihang Mountain is Tumen Pass, guarded by Youzhou Army, and travels east and west every day.
Countless merchants and people passed through this strategic path.
At noon that day, a team of more than 20 people arrived in Jingxing Town. More than 20 servants were guarding a carriage with lace inlaid. It was obvious that it was a wealthy woman traveling...
