Chapter 493: Sleepy Dragon
Yang Guang fell to the ground and twisted his ankle, the pain was unbearable, but the arrow was ruthless, still falling overwhelmingly, and almost hit him several times, so frightened that he even rolled and crawled, the crown on his head was also lost, and his hair was scattered, extremely embarrassed.

At this time, suddenly there was a child's cry, Yang Guang looked up and saw that it was Yang Gao, the youngest son who came to the city gate with him in the morning, just now under the city gate, following some of the courtiers to wait, under the fire of ten thousand arrows, it was too sudden, the ministers and guards were not psychologically prepared, and the first consideration in danger was often to avoid themselves.
Yang Guang was in a hurry, and his father's love surged out, staggered over, hugged his youngest son, and then curled up under the stone ladder to avoid the arrows.
He heard the cry of the child in his arms, and he also felt a sadness and sadness, ten years of great cause, in the end, it will be this kind of fate, to be trapped in this Yanmen county city, at any time the Turkic army can be on the slope of the city, then the people in the city will be slaughtered, and no one will be able to live.
A few days ago, Yang Guang was still full of confidence and high spirits, feeling that he had completed the grand cause and was going to leave a name for eternity, and within the four seas, there was no longer a state that dared to be hostile to the Great Sui and shouting, and all of them submitted to his heroic rule.
At the moment, even he doubts himself, his will is suddenly defeated, he feels the impermanence of life and death, he has been busy for ten years, he has not enjoyed it, he has worked hard for the society all day, wants to do some big things, exhausts his energy, and often reviews and folds until late, Yang Guang feels that those busy days and nights are not worth it, life is short, and it is chic and worry-free to squander.
In an instant, the guards and Qianniu guards found Yang Guang's hiding place, surrounded him with shields, and the hula armor rang loudly, protecting Yang Guang and Yang Gao, the king of Zhao, in it, and temporarily escaped the catastrophe in front of them.

The county seat of Yanmen County is the southernmost city of Yanmen County, and further south is Taiyuan County.
The whole Yanmen County is in the gap between the mountains, Lao County is even more so, like a gourd mouth, the east and west sides are mountains, between the two mountains between the flat river, a Hutuo River flows through this narrow plain from north to south, so the ancients said that this place "tens of millions of mulberry fields total battlefield, one hundred and two rivers and mountains are all terracotta", has always been fought for by soldiers, so it is also called "the lock and key of the three Jin Dynasty".
Yang Xuan commanded 30,000 horses, was the rear army of the Fifth Route Army, and is currently sticking to Laocheng, with complicated thoughts, he is followed by Yuan Wuda and Xu Hongren, two generals, looking at Yanmen Pass in the north, each with his own concerns.
"It's not what happened to my father, can I persevere?" Yang Jun was sighing, but no one knew whether he hoped that his father would persist or not.
Yuan Wuda said in his words: "Your Royal Highness, since the crown prince returned to heaven, His Majesty has not set up a prince for a long time, it stands to reason that the eldest son is deceased, and the second prince can inherit the throne, but His Majesty hesitated, seeing that the eldest grandson of the emperor has grown up, His Royal Highness is in a bad situation." ”
"Hmph, it's not good, I've been imprisoned for the past few years, and this king is not allowed to participate in any major military affairs, and the ministers who showed favor to me in the past probably have long forgotten me."
After Yang Zhao's death, the ministers of civil and military affairs all thought that Yang Guang would establish Yang Jian as the crown prince, so they all took the initiative to show goodwill, visited the door, and said that they would be loyal to the future monarchs, which is beyond reproach, after all, Yang Guang has few heirs, and as soon as Yang Zhao died, the second prince Yang Jin should be qualified to take over the unification.
Yang Guang, who was suspicious of the growing day, was worried that when he was alive, his authority would decline, and he was disappointed in his second son's arrogance and domineering and humble character.
Some people analyzed that Yang Guang intended to wait for the eldest grandson of the emperor to grow up and pass on the throne to the emperor's grandson, so that he could continue to reign more, and the next successor was young and not in a hurry to inherit the unification, so there would be a lot less contradictions between the two, and there was no need to worry about waiting to usurp the throne.
Xu Hongren lowered his voice and said: "Your Highness, the reinforcements have already arrived in several teams, and they are about to arrive at Xinkou, the junction of Taiyuan County and Yanmen County, where the whole army will be organized, the Turkic army will attack Taiyuan County from Yanmen County, and the Xiongguan at Xinkou is the last barrier, if our army retreats from Laocheng to Xinkou, the foothold is greater, and the control of those armies will reach 100,000, once all the Yanmen County in front of it falls, we will support His Royal Highness in Taiyuan, and when the time comes, use all the armies to resist the Turks from entering the Central Plains, His Royal Highness's prestige will rise and control the ministers. ”
Yang Xuan's eyes moved, but he quickly shook his head and said: "Now the road to Xinkou has been cut off by the Turkic army, if we want to withdraw the army, we have to break through, life and death are unpredictable, wait for the rear reinforcements to leave the pass from Xinkou and arrive in our Laocheng, and then make a plan." ”
He hesitated, first, he was worried that there was a huge risk in breaking through, and second, he had been under the pressure of Yang Guang for many years, and this time he wanted to usurp power, and he was worried that if his father did not die in front of him and survived, his situation would be even worse. The third is that Yang Tong and Yang Yu began to stay in the Eastern Capital and Western Kyoto to stay in the auxiliary government, and if he took control of the military power, it was still unknown whether he could eliminate these two nephews, and there were too many variables, so he did not dare to make a decision for a while.
Yuan Wuda and Xu Hongren glanced at each other, and secretly shouted that it was a pity, both of them were generals in the Praetorian Guard, and they also heard in private that rebels were rising everywhere, and it was not very peaceful.
