When the powerful people in various places began to attack cities and seize land and expand their power, Jiangdu, the current command center of the Sui Dynasty, was shrouded in a bleak atmosphere.

If Yuming's attack on Youzhou was not enough to shake the imperial court, Li Yuan's attack on Guanzhong made many ministers and generals panic. Because no matter how Yang Guang suppressed the Guanlong group, among the forbidden army and ministers, more than half of the people from Guanlong still accounted for more than half. Now that their hometown of Guanzhong is facing a greater threat than the Dugu clan and the Yuan clan rebellion back then, how can you tell them to stay in Jiangdu with peace of mind?

As a result, there was a flight in the Sui army in Jiangdu, which was only a few small soldiers fleeing at first, and then developed to officers, and then to the escape of ministers. Especially some families that are close to Li Valve, such as the Dou family where Li Yuan's wife Dou is located, and the Dugu family where Li Yuan's mother Dugu is located, dozens of people have contacted and fled together.

This made Yang Guang furious, and immediately ordered that all fugitives who were caught, regardless of their official positions, would be executed. At the same time, in order to reassure the soldiers, he ordered them to marry unmarried women and widows in Jiangdu. Whoever marries is given a house to settle down.

But in this way, the surname of Jiangdu City suffered, and many lustful people in the army took the opportunity to rob the people's daughters, and even the daughters with husbands and daughters also rushed into the barracks when they saw their appearance. And those who want to escape are often in the prison with wives and children, how can they have the heart to marry other women now? Therefore, Yang Guang's order can be described as unflattering on both sides, and the entire Jiangdu City is full of complaints.

And at this time, Yuhua thought that his chance to make a move had finally come.

The guard of the south gate of Jiangdu City is Sima Dejiao, this person is scheming, although he has long been dissatisfied with Yang Guang, but he has been silent, but has been trusted by Yang Guang, and appointed him as the guard of the south gate of Jiangdu City, which is important. Yu Huaji's father Yu Shu and Sima Deji's father are fellow villagers, and the two have always had a deep relationship, but they are only less known. Yu Huaji found a way to catch this line and persuaded Sima Dejiao to surrender to him.

In the Xu army camp outside Jiangdu City, Yuhua and Ben were planning how to break through Jiangdu City at the lowest cost and subdue the 100,000 soldiers and horses still in the city.

"Big brother, I have already agreed with Dou Yi, the commander of the forbidden army in the palace, as long as our army reaches the gate of the palace, he will open the city gate and let us in. But he said that he would not kill the king himself. Yu Shihe said in a deep voice.

"It's okay! I won't do anything myself, so I'll naturally ask the dead to do it! Yu Huahe stroked the long beard under his chin and said, "Did Dou Yi make any other requests?" After all, his relationship with our Yu family is only average, and he shouldn't have agreed so happily! ”

Yu Shiji nodded and said, "Dou Yi wants us to let him and all the Dou and Li brothers go back to Guanzhong." Although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone knew that he wanted to take refuge in Li Yuan! ”

Li Yuan's wife is the daughter of the head of the Dou family, Dou Yi's cousin, and it is normal for the people of the Dou family and the Li family to want to take refuge.

"No problem! You can promise him! My Yu family is also one of the Guanlongmen valves, and sooner or later it will be back in Guanzhong! Yuhua smiled faintly, and then asked his younger brother Uchiji, "What is that faint king doing during this time?" Can you perceive it? ”

Uchiji was in charge of collecting information in Jiangdu City, and he smiled and said: "Yang Guang seems to have completely abandoned the Great Sui Jiangshan Sheji, and just locked himself in the imperial study every day, except for Pei Ju, Pei Yun and Empress Xiao and others, no one is seen. I bought a palace maid next to him, according to the palace maid, Yang Guang one morning, when he was looking at the bronze mirror, he suddenly said: 'Great head, but I don't know who will take it', and Queen Xiao, who was present, was startled...... It seems that the faint king also realizes that his life is not long. ”

Yu Huahe was refreshed when he heard this, and then asked, "What is the situation of the soldiers and horses in Jiangdu City?" If we go into the city, how many will be willing to submit to us? ”

For the 100,000 soldiers and horses brought by Yang Guang, he is still very greedy, you must know that this is an elite division that has undergone long-term training and most of them are from Guanlong, not temporary recruits!

"Big brother, rest assured, most of these soldiers are from our Guanlong group, and they are all very dissatisfied with Yang Guang's suppression of Guanlong nobles. If it weren't for the Battle of Yanmen Pass, the forbidden army would have been almost wiped out, and Yang Guang would not have transferred them from Chang'an to Jiangdu. Now there are so many deserters because they are homesick and want to return to Guanzhong. Therefore, as long as the eldest brother raised his arms and shouted as the head of the Yu family, the number one lord in Guanlong, saying that he could take them back to Guanzhong, it was too late for them to support our Yu family, how could they oppose us? "Uchi-ki apparently conducted a thorough investigation.

"That's good!" Yu Huahe stood up at this time and said: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, in order to avoid a lot of dreams at night, things will change again, immediately notify Sima Dejiao and Dou Yi, and say that we will do it tomorrow night!" ”

……

At dusk the next day, Pei Ju was the first to discover the anomaly, and he had to go to Liren City in the eastern district of Jiangdu City every day after dinner, and take a walk to see if there were any treasures shipped from overseas.

Liren City in Jiangdu is mostly sold by foreigners or merchants engaged in overseas trade. Due to the language barrier, there are often disputes in transactions, and fights and brawls occur one after another. Therefore, Liren City is also a key area of focus for the city guards, and there are two city guards stationed on patrols all year round.

But now it is the peak sales season of the night market, but Liren City only sees merchants setting up stalls and customers buying things, and few city guards are on duty, which makes Pei Ju surprised.

He then went to the city guard guard in Liren City in a huff, and was ready to reprimand the officer on duty. But when they arrived at the guard station, they found that there were only two guards on duty inside. The rest of the people are gone.

After Pei Ju asked, he learned that Sima Dejia, who was in charge of the defense of the eastern part of the city, said that he had been ordered by the emperor to give everyone a day off, so he left a few soldiers on duty at the East City Gate and Dongcheng District, and all of them went home on vacation.

When Pei Ju heard this, he was extremely surprised, because most of the drafted holy decrees had to go through his hands, and he didn't remember when he had approved the holy decree to give the city guards a holiday.

He immediately sensed that something might not be right.

When Pei Ju rushed to the gate of the palace and was about to enter the palace, he was surprised to find that there were more than half of the forbidden soldiers on duty at the gate of the palace than in the past. And in the past, in order to earn performance, Dou Yi, the commander of the forbidden army who has been patrolling the gate, also does not know where to go.

Pei Ju felt even more bad in his heart, he knew very well that Li Yuan's wife was Dou Yi's cousin, and he had suggested to Yang Guang before that Dou Yi should be transferred to another position, and he could no longer be allowed to hold such an important position as the commander of the forbidden army. However, Yang Guang was worried that if he acted like this, he would put all the soldiers from Guanlong in danger and drive them to join Li Yuan or Yuhuaji. So it has been dragging on and not approving it, and now it really has a problem.

At this time, Yang Guangzheng was sitting in the imperial study and looking at the concert, and now there are only dozens of counties in the Jianghuai region that can send the concerto to him, except for the ministers of the DPRK and the central government. Many counties in Henan, Bashu and Guanzhong, although still under the control of the imperial court, were also cut off from Jiangdu. This made Yang Guang feel a little stunned.

"Your Majesty! Something has happened! ”

Pei Ju rushed into the imperial study at a fast speed, and at this moment he was so anxious that he didn't care about letting the prison report.

"Pei Xiangguo, what's wrong?" Yang Guang stood up with a displeased face and asked in a deep voice.

Pei Ju also realized that he had not reported it, which was undignified.

He hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, Weichen wants to ask, have you issued an order to let the city guards and forbidden troops rest on vacation?" ”

Yang Guang was stunned when he heard this, and shook his head again and again: "Now that many soldiers in the city have fled, it is the time to strengthen patrols and defenses, how can I make such a holy decree?" By the way, what exactly happened? ”

Pei Ju was immediately anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Weichen just came back from Liren City and found that there were only two city guards on duty. Wei Chen realized that something was wrong, so he immediately went back to the palace to report to His Majesty, but when he entered the palace, he found that the forbidden army guards outside the palace were less than half, and Commander Dou Yi was not on duty at the door. It's so weird! ”

"What! How could there be such a thing? ”

After Yang Guang heard this, he was immediately shocked and angry, secretly thinking that a false transmission of the holy decree had happened under his nose, and this was worth it?

He immediately asked angrily, "Pei Xiangguo, do you know who sent the holy decree?" ”

Pei Ju shook his head and said, "Weichen doesn't know, the Holy Lord can investigate from the few people who can access the Holy Decree!" ”

Yang Guang nodded, he also knew that the stakes were very high, and he must not be sloppy, and he must investigate quickly.

When he was about to call someone, he heard a report from a guard outside: "Your Majesty, the prince is here!" ”

"Let him in!" Yang Guang said in a deep voice.

A moment later, the prince hurried into the imperial study. He anxiously reported: "Your Majesty, something is wrong! Yuhua and colluded with Sima Dejiao and Dou Yi. His rebels entered the city through the east gate. The army in the city and the forbidden army in the palace have been transferred, and now the palace and the palace are full of his army. Your Majesty, run away! ”

Yang Guang's face suddenly changed greatly, and he asked loudly: "Princess, is this true?" ”

The prince said impatiently: "Your Majesty, the situation is extremely critical, now the rebels are killing Your Majesty, the guards in the palace are afraid that they will not be able to stop for a long time, Your Majesty can leave quickly from the tunnel, and it will be too late if you don't leave." ”

Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "You said that Sima Dejiao also took refuge in Yuhuaji?" ”

Dou Yi's rebellion was expected by him, and he also took corresponding precautions, only giving him a troop transfer of less than five people, and only the forbidden army could be mobilized. But Yang Guang didn't expect that Sima Dejiao also rebelled.

"Yes! The old slave heard that now Sima Dejiao had closed the Jiangdu City, and was arresting ministers, officials and members of the royal family in the city. Your Majesty, hurry up! The prince replied loudly.
