The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 41: One Stone, Three Birds

Chapter 41

Yang Emperor Yang Guang adopted Yu Wenhuaji's strategy. After sending the backer Yang Lin to the capital, he sent the four best generals in the capital to guard the four gates. How can he use a knife if he doesn't escape from the city?

At this time, someone came to report that Yang Yong fled to the east gate and killed many officers and soldiers. The general who came to protect his son was injured and failed.However, don't worry, Your Majesty, Ding Sima, Yu Wencheng and Lai Huer led the cavalry and chased them out.

"Ah?" The two were dumbfounded when they heard it, Yang Guang was furious, and cursed with a shake of his dragon robe, "Trash, it's all trash!"

Yu Wenhuaji also wiped the sweat from his face, feeling dull, because he was the one who came up with all these ideas, and he also ordered these generals who defended the city. After tossing for a long time, he still let Yang Yong run away, he felt inconceivable .

He rolled his eyes, bowed cautiously and saluted: "Your Majesty, calm down, Yang Yong has not been idle in the past few years, Wansui has seen him these days, how amazing he is, let alone keep him. However, he escaped by chance this time, in Wei Chen's opinion, it might not be a bad thing."

Speaking of this, Yu Wenhuaji paused for a moment, seeing that Yang Guang didn't lose his temper but ignored him, he continued to speak boldly, "Your Majesty, please consider that Yang Yong's move is a blatant rebellion. We don't have to worry about it. Kill him. In the whole world, is it the king's land, and the guests of the people are the king's ministers. He is a traitor and only has a life-and-death leader Gongye. Where can the two escape? There are many passes along the way, and there are dogs and others. The general and Ding Sima are chasing after him closely, and it is impossible for him to escape, Your Majesty, please rest assured and just wait for the good news."

After Yu Wenhuaji finished speaking, the anger on Yang Guang's face gradually diminished.The two of them waited until the scheduled watch time and reported the news that the three generals had escaped and returned. Yu Wenhua was very happy, and Yang Guang was full of expectations to see him overnight.

Ding Yanping, Yuwen Chengdu, and Lai Huer were all exhausted, traveling five or six hundred miles back and forth, especially Ding Yanping, the two-gun general, who was getting older, and the old man couldn't bear it.But when they heard that Wansui had seen him overnight, the three of them rode their horses and followed the eunuch into Yangxin Palace without even having time to drink their saliva.

After entering the palace, the three knelt down and kowtowed, shouting long live.

Yang Guang's face was calm, he waved his sleeves and said, "Aiqing is flat, how is it? Have the rebels Yang Yong and Gongye Chang been arrested and brought back?"

The three of them didn't dare to stand up, and kowtowed upwards, all with embarrassing faces, and finally Ding Yanping said: "Return to Your Majesty, I'm waiting for you to be incompetent."

"Huh!" Yang Guang had noticed the expressions of the three people early on, and knew that there would be no result, so he snorted and turned around, giving the three of them a buttock.

Lai Hu'er's hands were still tied, and the man ran from his east gate, so he hurriedly knelt and crawled half a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, Rong Bing..." Lai Hu'er recounted the incident in detail, and it was inevitable in the middle Yuwen Chengdu made some additions. In the end, the two agreed that when we wanted to lead the army to attack the city and take out the thieves, it was Ding Sima who stopped us, so we had to come back and ask for an order to make a decision.

Ding Yanping, who was kneeling, heard that these two boys are white-eyed wolves. If the old man hadn't restrained you along the way, you might have killed many innocent people. Wouldn't it be for your own good not to let you attack the city?Now you two are putting all the responsibility on the old man, it is really unreasonable!

When Ding Yanping was in a hurry, and he was exhausted all the way, the old man coughed several times.

Yang Guang didn't know right from wrong, he had a problem with him, he turned his face and said, "Is Ding Aiqing in poor health? If so, go back to your hometown to recuperate, I will send you two imperial doctors later."

"Oh... obey the decree. The old minister resigns." Ding Yanping understood that this was Long Live's punishment for himself and his official position.

I said in my heart, well, I will recuperate when I return to my hometown to recuperate. The old man is not willing to be a big Sima anymore!You ascended the throne before the bones of the former emperor were cold. After ascending the throne, you did not implement benevolent government, but started building large-scale construction projects, listened to slanderous rumors, punished your opponents, loyal words were harsh, and you insisted on doing your own way.

Thinking of this, Ding Yanping left the palace and returned to the mansion after thanking him for the gift, shed a few sad tears, packed his things overnight and left Beijing with his wife and servants to go back to his hometown Xiangzhou.

Yang Guang dismissed Ding Yanping, and Yu Wenhuaji was very happy. With a few words of enlightenment from him, Lai Huer and Yu Wencheng were both innocent but meritorious. Yang Guang comforted the two of them. Gong went back to rest.

"Aiqing, Yang Yong went to the King of Han, what can I do?" Yang Guang said worriedly.

"Your Majesty, I'm just about to talk about this. The King of Han was granted a reward by the late emperor. He has territory in Shanxi, Shandong, and a part of Henan, a total of 52 prefectures and counties, and these places are all rich in water and grass and rich in economy. In particular, Jinyang, where he sat, has been an important place for military strategists since ancient times. Recently, my ministers also heard that the king of Han regarded the capital as a pretext, recruiting troops, buying horses, accumulating grass and grain, and casting weapons wantonly in the name of fighting against the Turks. If the King of Han has the heart to disobey, Jinyang is so close to the capital, Daxing City will be in danger."

"Aiqing's words are reasonable. I also heard that when the father was here, he often praised the fifth younger brother for his strategy. Could it be that he really has an objection?" Yang Guang had this problem in his heart for a long time. Very close, Yang Yong happened to run to his territory again, and Yu Wenhuaji fanned the flames again, making Yang Guang even more uneasy.

Yu Wenhuaji bowed again and saluted: "Your Majesty, be prepared. Now the time is right, Yang Yong fled to Puzhou, Your Majesty can formulate a Taoist order, let the king of Han capture the rebels Yang Yong and Gongye Chang, and personally escort him to Puzhou. In the capital, it was said that His Majesty misses his younger brother very sincerely, and promised to reward him face to face. According to my ministers, the King of Han would not dare to come. At that time, His Majesty’s military crusade will be justified. Ping Jinyang, get rid of the King of Han and the Yang Yong's danger can be said to kill two birds with one stone, so His Majesty can rest easy."

"Well, good." Yang Guang couldn't stop nodding his head when he heard this, "What Ai Qing said is exactly what I want, so who should I send to issue the edict?"

"Your Majesty, I have already thought about it a long time ago. I must get someone with high morals and high prestige. That way, it will show that Your Majesty respects and is sincere to the King of Han. King Zhongxiao can take on this important task."

"Okay, Zhunqing's play."

After the two conspired, they made a decree overnight, and sent Eunuch Wu to Prince Zhongxiao's mansion the next day.

Wu Jianzhang grinned after receiving the order, because what happened in the capital yesterday was earth-shattering, of course he knew it.

Because Wu Jianzhang was upright by nature, he had a close relationship with the backer king. Before he left, the backer king was worried about Yang Yong, so he sent a secret letter to him, asking him to protect Yang Yong, telling him that he was of royal blood and would not be harmed by traitors.

As soon as the backer king Yang Lin left Beijing, Yang Yong turned against him and rushed out from the east gate. Even the general guard was injured. As a result, the three generals and their cavalry chased for a long time, but returned without success. Finally, Yang Yong fled into Pu Zhou, these have already been reported to him.

Wu Jianzhang was displeased when he heard this, and said in his heart that Yang Yong is an unrestrained child. Since your adoptive father entrusted you to me, you must know these things.If you want to escape from the capital, you can discuss such a big matter with me, and I will think of a way for you, isn't it better than your recklessness?In the end, you rushed out of the city gate without even saying hello. Now that the edict of Long Live has arrived, you have become a veritable traitor, and the old man can do nothing to protect you.

After weighing the pros and cons, Wu Jianzhang took the emperor's edict, not daring to delay, and with his personal guards, he left Daxing City and headed straight for Puzhou.

After Yuwen Chengdu and Laihuer's cavalry retreated, the person in charge at the top of the city didn't dare to hide it, and sent someone to deliver a letter to Lord Inspector.

The governor of Puzhou is called Li Can, Master Li was shocked when he heard that, Long Live sent cavalry to chase the rebels, and they wanted to force their way into the city.But the rebel is Yang Yong, the former crown prince. He is the eldest brother of our lord, or the godson of the king of the mountain. He entered my Puzhou?I can't afford it!This is a big matter, and I have to make a decision for Prince Bingming.

On the one hand, he sent people to look for Yang Yong, and on the other hand, he sent people to ride out of the city on fast horses to Jinyang to deliver a letter to the King of Han.

At this moment, another report came, saying that Ding Sima had been withdrawn by the two guns.When Li Can thought about it, they definitely couldn't let it go. Since they believed that Yang Yong was a traitor, would the Emperor agree if they didn't catch the Emperor?Just wait, there will be news soon.

At this time, it was getting dark, and the subordinates came in to report that the godson of the backer king and his banner officer, Gongye Chang, asked to see him.

When Li Can heard this, isn't this the traitor that the emperor wants to arrest?Two people are quite bold, I'm looking for them.But the two have special identities, and I can't offend the prince before he expresses his opinion, so after he said "please", he led someone to pick them up in person.

After taking Yang Yong and Gongye Chang into the hall, the host and guest sat down separately, and the servants came to offer tea, and after the tea was finished, the cups were put on the table.

It was the first time they met, Li Can took a sneak peek at the two of them, and saw that although they were dressed in government official clothes, they both had the air of a general, and Gongye was fair and mighty, with an extraordinary bearing.Yang Yong looked younger and handsome, his face was as white as jade, with thick eyebrows and bright eyes, a provocative nose, and a square mouth with white teeth.

Li Can watched and felt that Yang Yong had some similarities with their prince Yang Jie.

At the same time, Yang Yong was secretly looking at him.Seeing that Li Can is over forty years old, slightly hunchbacked, not small, with a high hair crown, black beard under his jaw, and a fourth-rank official uniform, which fits him perfectly.

Yang Yongxin said, big brother Gongye is really good, I should just take him out.When I first came here, I left the palace and the capital, I didn’t know anyone, I didn’t have any social connections, and I didn’t know anything about officialdom. If it weren’t for him, even if I could escape from the capital, I wouldn’t It will be such a mess.

At this time, Gongyechang clasped his fists: "Lord Inspector, Mr. Gongye, I have had trouble with our Shaobao. I have acquaintance with General Qiao. Shaobao Qiantui is the brother of the King of Han. We want to see the King of Han and Qiao." General, please Inspector Shi Tongrong."

"General Gongye is very polite. We are all a family. The governor has his own arrangements." After speaking, he ordered a sumptuous banquet to be served. Come to change into suitable clothes, and send Yang Yong and Gong Yechang to the post house to rest.

It was fighting again during the day, and they had ridden such a long distance on horseback. The two of them were really tired, so they lay down and fell asleep quickly.

I don't know how long I slept, but I heard someone shouting outside: "The Wang family has arrived!"

Because the two were fleeing for their lives, even though they were asleep, they still kept a bit of vigilance, how could they dare to sleep so deadly, so the two of them could hear the call clearly, and quickly sat up.

At this time, another loud voice shouted: "Where is my elder brother?"
