Zhang Xutuo was defeated and killed, and the news of the annihilation of the elite army he led spread, and the whole world was shaken. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the past two years, Zhang Sutuo has been in the limelight, as if he became the first general to suppress the peasant army at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and he swept away the place where Qilu, Hebei, and Henan meet, and the rebel thieves were killed one after another, and they ended up hating, all because of his record.

It can be said that the lifeblood and national fortune of the entire Great Sui are inextricably linked with Zhang Xutuo.

Now that he had died in battle, the prestige of the Great Sui military had fallen to the bottom, and there was no general left to assess the rebellion within the four seas.

Those who were watching the leaders of the rebel army, the heroes of the green forest, the nobles of the gate lords, and the local eagle generals, were all ready to move, and they were scheduled to raise their anti-Sui.

It can be said that the prestige of the Wagang Army was pushed to a peak all of a sudden.

.........

When the news reached Jiangdu, Yang Guang was playing on the dragon boat and watching the lake and mountains.

Jiangnan Palace, the area is vast, connecting the natural lake, the lakeside pavilion and the palace, with the glaze as the tile, the purple grease coating wall, between each courtyard Qionghua into a forest, the green grass is paved with felt, the pavilion is cast and carved with brass, jade, jade and various beast mascots, lifelike, priceless.

As soon as Yang Guang arrived in Jiangdu, the heart of the great cause had long been diluted, and he had no heroic atmosphere, but became more and more extravagant, and he was most interested in music, poetry, beauties, and wine, and collected hundreds of Jiangdong beauties to enter the palace to serve his various needs.

During the day, Yang Guang took all the concubines and ladies to drink and poems, watch the lakes and mountains, listen to the piano and enjoy the dance, enjoy the joy, and the night is all night long, drunk and dreaming of death, and there are countless maids.

On this day, the sky was clear, the weather was peaceful, Yang Guang led Queen Xiao, and the beauties of the harem to take a dragon boat to the center of the lake to play, at the banquet, singing and dancing were leveled, and the concubines took turns to compete for favor, and they were constantly diligent.

Yang Guang's poems were prosperous, and he also personally filled in a poem like a dream: "The six palaces are more delicate and beautiful, who makes the king idle?" Dancing neon clothes, slender waist and pity. Linger, linger, I don't know heaven and earth! ”

The ladies held and cheered, Yang Guang was satisfied, and he was very interested, walked down the banquet, picked up a new beauty like a flower and jade, and directly entered the royal bed behind the screen of the main hall, and smashed the yellow dragon.

Soon, there was a dinging sound inside, it was the golden bell jade piece on the girl's body, and it was rhythmically ringing with the waves of shaking of the body.

The concubines and palace maids outside laughed unconsciously.

This kind of thing is commonplace, everyone is used to it, the banquet is presided over by Queen Xiao, the women continue to eat, drink and have fun, enjoy singing and dancing, and even guess the boxing order, those who are not strong enough to drink, their faces are full of redness, and they fall asleep at the desk, regardless of the messy clothes, most of the skin is **** infinite.

At this moment, a small boat arrived to deliver an urgent military order.

Yuan Min, the person of the Inner Shi She, and Sima Dejiao, the commander of the guards, were on duty at the door, and when they heard that there was an urgent military situation, they did not dare to slack off, so they were immediately released, and Yuan Min entered the main hall with the guards who gave orders.

Yang Guanggang finished venting, walked out with weak feet, and after taking the intelligence letter and reading it, he directly changed color, and almost didn't cry out in grief and indignation.

Zhang Xutuo was killed in an ambush in Daihai Temple, and the tens of thousands of elite soldiers led by him were all wiped out, and Xingyang was in danger!

That Xingyang is the east gate of the eastern capital, a strategic place, densely populated, and commercially developed, and there is no room for error, so Yang Guang suddenly summoned him and directly burst into foul language, letting these harem women get out.

In the palace, only Empress Xiao dared to stay and share the problem with Yang Guang.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry, at this time, calm down, get along with the strategy as soon as possible, and continue to send people to pacify the Wagang army." Empress Xiao comforted softly.

Yang Guang shook his head and said angrily: "It's easy to say, how easy is it to say, what other generals can be used now?" The dead are dead, the old are old, the waste is wasted, who else can deal with the Wagang Army? ”

"Your Majesty, Qu Tutong, Chen Qi, Yang Yichen, Li Jing, Li Yuan and others are still here, and they may not be able to suppress the Wagang thieves, besides, Luo Cheng is in the northeast, and he can also move south to rescue Luoyang."

Yang Guang sighed: "Do you know, two days ago, there was a report that Luo Cheng was currently blocked by Dou Jiande's army in the four northern counties, which could not be crossed, and there were Khitan, Goguryeo, and Liaoxi Gao rebels behind him, and it was difficult to lead troops out of Zhuo County." ”

Empress Xiao came down silently, after all, she was a woman, and she didn't know much about the military aircraft, so she didn't talk anymore.

Yang Guang pondered for a while, and wrote that Yang Tong mobilized all the troops, material resources, and manpower of the ten counties within a radius according to the situation, and all the government soldiers obeyed the dispatch.

Empress Xiao stood silently aside, looking at Yang Guang, who had lost his ambition and had no choice, and felt helpless and sad, is this still the king of Jin who was determined to be progressive, and the emperor who was eager to establish an immortal cause when he first ascended the throne?

At this moment, Yang Guang is like an ant on a hot pot, only anxious and desperate, and will not do anything more.

But even so, he is also her husband, Queen Xiao sighed lightly, the blessings have been shared, and the difficulties must be shared.

Jinyang City.

After Li Yuan learned the news of Zhang Xutuo's death, his expression was complicated, he was already keenly aware that the best qi of the Great Sui had been exhausted, and soon, for the first time, the morale of the Wagang Army was boosted, and there would be more peasant army uprisings, and the major warlords would no longer wait and see, and they would also stand up and take the banner to resist the Sui and fight for hegemony.

The chaos in the world is likely to come.

Li Yuan did things steadily, and only at this time did he breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, otherwise, Yang Guang's suspicion of Li Valve was like a sword hanging over his head, and he was always frightened, and now, in this situation, Li Yuan was relieved, and he was no longer so afraid of imperial power.

At present, Taiyuan County and Yanmen County are controlled by his people, and they are justifiable, accumulating strength, and they are also waiting for opportunities.

It's just that he can be stable, but his sons are not as scheming and calm as him.

After Li Shimin heard the news, he rushed back to the mansion directly, and happily persuaded his father to start the army as soon as possible, seize the opportunity, set an example, and ordered the nobles and lords from all over the country to defect to the Li family, so that they could do great things and seize the world.

After Li Yuan heard this, he scolded: "Bastard thing, what is the big rebellion, as a noble relative of the court and a minister of the humerus, in this kind of turmoil in the court, we should think about reporting to the country and the people, pacifying the rebels, and turning the tide. ”

That Wang Wei and Gao Shiya were the supervisors of the army, and they were sent to Jinyang by Xijing to supervise Li Yuan's pacification work, which was used to check and balance the local pacification and excessive power.

After Li Shimin listened, he was also angry enough, but he didn't dare to talk back to his father, and after being scolded with blood, he was still unconvinced, and he didn't even listen to it at all, and with anger, he went to talk to Liu Wenjing, Zhao Wenke, Li Daoxuan and other cronies.
