Chapter 133: Exhaustion

. Shumilou.CoM.Shumilou.Co

Although Liu Ziyi seemed to have the upper hand, there was no other main force in the south except him, so there was no support, and the battle was fought very hard, and the soldiers' morale was low.

Although Lin Shihong strongly advocated fighting to the death, the limitations of the peasant ideology were also highlighted here.

Lin Shihong couldn't refuse, so he had to deal with the useless funeral while confronting Liu Ziyi, so the war was stalemate.

Because of the war in the south, Yang Guang almost stopped all shore activities, and the people waited for non-emergencies, eating, drinking, and lazing all on the ship.

Everyone complained bitterly, but no one dared to protest with Yang Guang, after all, now that the world is turbulent and the Great Sui River is in danger, who can take care of their own feelings.

Just as the fleet was about to arrive in Jiangdu, the bad news finally fell from the sky, almost crushing Yang Guang.

After going to court on this day, the court was very quiet, Pei Ju and other ministers had red eyes and sad expressions, Yang Guang chuckled in his heart, pretended to sit calmly, and asked, "Do you have something important to tell you?" ”

It was still a deathly silence, Yang Guang frowned and said, "Could it be that Lin Shihong has made some moves again?" ”

Referring to Lin Shihong, Yu Wenhua took a step forward and said cautiously: "Back to Your Majesty, that Lin Shihong is very cunning, after the master begged to die, he used revenge as a reason to cover up his Zhaozhao ambitions, and took advantage of the geographical advantage to fight with Liu Ziyi in Pengli Lake, Liu Ziyi is not, invincible, has been killed!" ”

Yang Guang's face became as white as paper, his eyes were cold, as if he could kill at any time, and it took a long time to hold back the grief and indignation in his heart and ask, "What about Lin Shihong now?" ”

After Peng Lihu won the first battle, because he begged for revenge for the master, he won the hearts of the people, and the military prestige was greatly boosted, and the number of troops has reached more than 100,000 people. And after that, he conquered Qianzhou and proclaimed himself the king of Nanyue. Yu Wenhua said, the beads of sweat on his head had fallen, and he couldn't help but look up at the emperor.

"All in all, don't delay!" Yang Guang said annoyedly.

"Yes, yes!" Yu Wenhua and continued: "Lin Shihong is not willing to accept the title of King of Nanyue, and now he has called himself the emperor, the country name is Chu, the year name is Taiping, and at the same time appointing the same party Wang Rong as the Sikong, and the thieves from all over the country competed to kill the county guard of the Sui Dynasty, so as to invite Lin Shihong to take credit, Lin Shihong was named his official one by one, and his younger brother Lin Yaoshi was named the king of Poyang, as if becoming a court. ”

"It has clearly become a court!" Yang Guang slapped the dragon chair suddenly, and Yu Wenhua was immediately so frightened that he didn't dare to squeak, "This Lin Shihong once became a villain, presumably Jiujiang, Linchuan, Yichun and other counties will not be protected!" You and others boast of reading through the military books, why have they been defeated one after another, and this old department of more than 10,000 instructors has grown into a 100,000-strong army in less than two months! What kind of face do I have to live in the world again, it is better to judge myself to thank the world! ”

Your Majesty, by all means!

The civil and military ministers knelt down one after another, crying bitterly, Yang Guang waved his hand impatiently to signal them all to get up, and sighed: "Properly settle Liu Ziyi's family, as for Lin Shihong, there are no available troops in the south, and you can't use the soldiers and horses led by the court to suppress the rebellion." I heard that Zhang Shan'an, the thief of Fang and the county, is a sinister and greedy person, who can spread rumors and sow discord between him and Lin Shihong, so that he can fight with each other, and we can take advantage of the fisherman. ”

Your Majesty!

Another compliment in unison.

Yang Guang waved his hand and said, "If there are no other matters, you can retreat from the court by yourself." ”

After speaking, Yang Guang rubbed his forehead and stood up, planning to leave, because he was really upset. But what he didn't expect was that no one left, and they all stood on the ground like wood with cold faces.

Yang Guang asked suspiciously: "But there is still something important to play?" ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, no one answered, and several old ministers cried.

A Lin Shihong made Yang Guang very annoyed, the scene in front of him said, there are worse things than this? Could it be that where the thief has become the climate again?

Yang Guang didn't ask, and the ministers didn't take the initiative to explain, so everyone just stood like this. In the end, Yuan Ziyan sighed and said, "Your Majesty, no matter what happens, you should take the initiative to face it, after all, it is irreparable." I think something went wrong in the north. ”

"Purple Smoke Girl is wise." Pei Ju finally spoke in a hoarse voice, then stepped forward, knelt heavily and kowtowed, and the rest of the ministers also kowtowed together.

Yang Guang's face was pale, and he really didn't dare to guess what was going on in the north, Pei Ju burst into tears before he spoke, and said in a choked voice: "Your Majesty, mourning!" ”

Yang Guang seemed to have guessed something, and suddenly sat back on the dragon chair, stunned.

"Master Pei, since it has reached this point, you don't have to hide it, say it early, and make plans early." Yuan Ziyan said again.

Pei Ju nodded, and said with great sadness: "Your Majesty, Zhai Rang and Li Mi were defeated all the way before, which was really to lure the enemy deeper. Li Mi sent more than 1,000 elite cavalry to ambush in the woods of Xingyang Dahai Temple, while Zhai Rang led the main force to meet the enemy from the front. Zhai Rang was a defeated general under General Zhang, General Zhang pursued more than ten miles all the way to the sea temple, and after the Wagang ambush suddenly rose, Zhai Rang and Li Mi were naturally not a problem, plus Xu Shixian, Wang Bodang and others surrounded our legion, General Zhang, therefore, fell! ”

As soon as the words fell, a deafening cry sounded in the court, Yang Guang couldn't believe it, gritted his teeth and said: "I don't believe your words, of course, it was Zhai Rang and others who used it, but General Zhang has been on the battlefield for a long time and has a good ability, let alone the cavalry, even if it is surrounded by tens of thousands, there will be a chance to escape, why did it fall!" ”

"Your Majesty!" Pei Ju knocked his head a few more times, and wailed: "General Zhang is brave and invincible, he was originally a powerful enemy to get out of trouble, but his subordinates were all besieged. General Zhang loves soldiers like a son, and rushes into the encirclement again and again four times to carry out rescue, so that the war horses are shot by the rebels, and General Zhang still tries his best to fight after falling off the horse, and finally because of exhaustion, he was beheaded and killed by Li Mi and others! ”

"Your Majesty, General Zhang is loyal and brave, and he is really a model for us!" Yu Shiji and others also cried in agreement.

"General Zhang deserves to be the first warrior of the Great Sui." Yang Guang said something with a calm face, and then a mouthful of blood arrow spurted out, the corners of Yang Guang's mouth twitched a few times, rolled off the dragon chair, and passed out on the spot.

The fall of Zhang Xutuo, the pillar stone of the Great Sui, made everyone sad, crying all night, for several days. Yang Guang's old illness finally broke out at this moment, and he fell into a severe coma, with a fragile pulse, like an old man who was about to die.

The imperial doctors panicked and didn't dare to make up their minds, so they had to find Empress Xiao and secretly report this phenomenon.

"Bold, Your Majesty's dragon body has always been Antai, why did it reach your mouth and become an incurable disease?" Empress Xiao got up in annoyance and scolded loudly.

Several imperial doctors knelt down in unison, and the first one said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, how dare we deceive the queen with such a big event today." Your Majesty's dragon is strong on the outside and weak on the inside, presumably it is supported by fierce medicine, and now that General Zhang has fallen, His Majesty is exhausted, and only then has some clues revealed, and I hope that the queen will be clear! ”

"Look at the Empress Mingjian!" The rest of them prostrated until their foreheads were bleeding.

Empress Xiao sat down godlessly, overshadowed, in fact, she had expected this result, first Yuan Ziyan took a handkerchief coated with medicinal powder for the emperor to use, and then secretly went out of the palace and asked his father to bring strange pills, now looking back, all the truth is revealed.

That is, the emperor has long had a stubborn disease, and he knows that he is unable to return to heaven, so he has been struggling with forbidden drugs to maintain it. Thinking of this, Empress Xiao cried sadly, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is such pain in your heart, why didn't you tell your concubine earlier? Although the concubines cannot cure His Majesty's illness, they can also share the pain with His Majesty, so why bother to support them alone.

"How long does Your Majesty have to live?" Empress Xiao wiped the tears on her face and asked coldly.

"Back to Niangniang, say two more years, say less about one year, Your Majesty's dragon body is damaged in all five parts, with all due respect, it may die at any time!" After the imperial doctor finished speaking, his body fell to the ground, he didn't dare to speak, let alone raise his head, his clothes were wet with sweat, and the originally mild weather was now like falling into an ice cellar, and the cold was pressing.

Empress Xiao's expression was stunned, the light in her eyes completely disappeared, and she was out of the gods for a long time before she let out a long sigh and said coldly: "This palace knows, this news must not be leaked, otherwise this palace will definitely punish him for the nine clans!" ”

"But it's up to the mother!" The imperial physicians hurriedly expressed their determination.

Empress Xiao nodded, waved her hand and asked them to retreat, distraught. The imperial doctors rushed out, but they met Yang Xuan, the king of Qi, at the door, and hurriedly made a move.

And Yang Jun seemed to be in a good mood, to be exact, a little excited, he walked into the door with one foot, looked up and saw his decadent mother, thought for a moment, and then retreated, turned around to find his wine and meat buddy, Yuwen Chengtoe.

At the bottom of a colorful boat, two pretentious, but ambitious young men got together, and no one knew what they were talking about, but in the end their laughter spread far and wide, and they drank all night, as if it were a New Year's holiday.

Feng Ge was very close to this colorful boat, Queen Xiao vaguely heard her son's laughter, pricked up her ears and listened again, the more she listened, the more she looked, and hurriedly got up and came to the window. The general has fallen, the emperor is too sad and still in a coma, why is this child so ignorant? Does he still want to offend Long Yan and not want the position of prince in the future?

Everything outside the window is the same, there is no shadow of Yang Jun, the king of Qi, on the color boat, everyone is dutiful, and the lights in Yang Jun's room are also extinguished.

Hey, Empress Xiao shook her head, thinking that she was too worried and hallucinated, and she must have heard it wrong. Why is it that now, she doesn't even believe in her own son? If Yang Jian knew the news of his father's serious illness, he would definitely be grief-stricken, right?
