In the twentieth year of the opening of the Great Sui Dynasty, just after April, the Turks on the steppe began to move. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After Datou Khan established himself as the Great Khan of Bujia, he rectified the Eastern and Western Turks, and his strength increased greatly, and he learned that the internal party strife in the Sui Dynasty was continuous, and the high-level of the temple was in internal strife, so he led an army of 200,000 cavalry to invade the northwest border of the Great Sui.

Emperor Wen of Sui was furious and distributed an edict, ordering Yang Guang, the king of Jin, and Yang Su, the prince of Yue, to lead 100,000 troops out of Lingwu Road, and Yang Liang, the king of Han, and Shi Wansui, the general of Han, to lead 100,000 troops out of Mayi Road to jointly block the invasion of the Turkic army.

All the frontier prefectures and towns are on standby, ready to support the army at the front. It didn't take long for Emperor Wen of Sui to mobilize Sun Sheng, the general of the Hussars of Zuoxunwei, to set out from Dali City, commanding a part of the Turkic army to surrender, and was appointed as the head of the march to Qinzhou.

This Changsun Sheng is an expert in dealing with Turkic issues, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty sent Changsun Sheng as the deputy envoy of Gongyu Wenqing of Runan, escorting the princess of Qianjin to the tooth banner of Shabalu Khan, and stayed for a long time, taking the opportunity of hunting to inspect the Turkic customs, the situation of the mountains and rivers, and the strength of the tribes.

After the establishment of the Great Sui State, the Turks invaded the border, a big headache, Changsun Sheng analyzed the internal situation of the Turks, and put forward a proposal of "distant friendship and close attack, separation from the strong and weak" in response to this situation, leading Emperor Wen of Sui to be heavy, Changsun Sheng used a strange plot to split the Turks into the east and west, and the internal fighting was endless, weakening the strong enemy of the Great Sui.

Later, he continued to use tactics to urge Dulan Khan to kill and harm the princess of Dayi, and then attracted the Khan of Qimin to join the Sui as a vassal, escort Princess Anyi to marry, etc., every step changed the situation of the Turks and developed towards the favorable side of the Great Sui.

This eldest grandson Sheng himself is also a handsome figure who can write and martial arts, and is now close to fifty years old, with a square face, a long hair under his chin, a graceful demeanor, extraordinary manners, wearing a suit of armor, leading the Turks to belong to various tribes of foreign races as the vanguard, and the cavalry of the Western Turks has the upper hand in two battles.

Although Yang Guang is the commander of the three armies, it is Yang Su who really gives military orders, he is only the nominal commander-in-chief, sitting in the rear, and controlling the progress and victory of the army's operations.

The reason why he still has to lead an expedition at this juncture of seizing the heir, Yang Guang, the king of Jin, just wants to hold the military power, so that if the division goes back, the inside and outside are under his control, and he does not worry about Emperor Wen not abolishing the prince, it is really not possible, and it is not impossible to forcibly change the palace to seize power.

In this vast field, the vanguard barracks stretched for several miles, with flags fluttering, groups of war horses, spears like forests, and cold light flickering.

"General Changsun, the vanguard won two battles, this king was very happy when he heard it, and he personally came over to reward General Changsun!"

Eldest Sun Sheng bowed his hand and said politely: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, how can you come to the front line in person to reward?" Besides, two small battles are not a big deal. ”

Yang Guang is now the time to encircle the eldest grandson, so he is very serious to the eldest grandson, and said with a smile: "The eldest grandson general Mo Qian can make the powerful Turks, in ten years, fall apart, and the strength is not as good as before, it is all the general's work." ”

Changsun Sheng smiled and said a few words of humility, and the conversation with Yang Guang was at least very harmonious on the surface.

"What do you think of our odds of victory? Can the Datou Khan be completely defeated? "Yang Guang is very concerned about the battle situation, if he can win a big victory, his aura is bound to increase, the day of triumph is the time to bring power to the ministers to recognize, so that his father and the emperor will abolish the crown prince.

Changsun Sheng's expression was a little strange, and he shook his head and said: "This time the Turks are coming, a little strange, very hasty, and the troops are insufficient, not at all the claimed 200,000, and the Datou Khan has no intention of fighting with us at all, the Khan is set up a hundred miles away, which is very different from the previous situation of scheming and supervising the war, according to my understanding of several Turkic Khans for many years, this time they are not really invading the Sui, but a kind of intimidation, strategic layout, and have not yet prepared for a complete war with the Sui army." ”

"Could it be that the Datou Khan has not completely subdued the royal tribes of the steppe?"

Changsun Sheng said: "Datou Khan self-proclaimed Bujia Great Khan, to unify the entire grassland, in just a few months, it will definitely not be possible, that Tiele, Sijie, Fu and Gu, Hun, Husa, Abba, Servant Bone and other more than ten departments, not so easy to integrate, maybe Datou Khan is to take advantage of this opportunity to send troops, test those tribes to really belong to the army, will send troops according to the covenant, those who do not obey the order, he naturally turned around, and he will go to clean up." ”

Yang Guang was dressed in golden chain mail, majestic, and said in a low voice at this time: "Then how to try it out?" This king doesn't care whether he really invades Sui or not, he just wants to fight a quick battle, achieve a big victory, and let the Turks retreat! ”

He had been away from Wangcheng for a long time, and he was also worried that the situation in Beijing would change, so he couldn't rest assured, and wanted to break the enemy as soon as possible, and then return to Beijing in triumph.

Changsun Sheng pondered for a moment and said: "This is not difficult, the Turks have 10,000 vanguard troops, stationed ten miles away, confronting our army!" According to the Turkic folk customs, the Turks all need to drink the spring water, as long as the poison is sprinkled on the upstream of the nearby spring, the vanguard is not good, and the Datou Khan has no intention of fighting, seeing that the pioneer is demoralized, and there are countless casualties, he will inevitably retire. ”

"That's a good plan!" Yang Guang's eyes flashed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Changsun Sheng then sent scouts to the upstream of the spring to poison, sure enough, many Turkic people and animals were poisoned to death after drinking water, and the people were panicked, thinking that it was the rain and bad water, and the morale of the battle was weaker.

Yang Guangxi went to Yang Su's camp and conspired on how to return to Beijing to coerce Emperor Wen to abolish the crown prince.

The scheming Yang Su, who thought of a vicious plan, forged a letter from the prince's side to Datou Khan, falsely accusing the prince of worrying about being deposed as the prince, trying to collude with the Turks, with the help of external forces, attacking inside and out, and destroying the Sui Dynasty, Yang Yong can still be the lord of the Central Plains, dependent on the Turks, and become the emperor.

When the army triumphed, Emperor Wen of Sui received the advice of Yang Su, Yang Guang, Changsun Sheng and others, and became suspicious, which prompted Yang Jian to make up his mind to depose the crown prince and no longer hesitate.

In November of the twentieth year of the emperor's reign, Yang Yong was sent by Emperor Wen of Sui to take him to the Wude Palace.

In the main hall, there were already full of civil and military ministers, Emperor Wen of Sui was wearing military uniforms, and the guards were lined with swords and guns, as if facing a great enemy.

Such a formation can only be found when the emperor is personally driving, the east of the palace is full of civil and military officials, and the relatives of the royal family are also holding their breath in the west of the palace, and everyone knows what happened next.

The crown prince Yang Yong stood below, and his clothes were already soaked with sweat, but he tried his best to stay calm, thinking that he would not die for his crimes, as long as he lived, there would be a chance to turn back.

At this time, Emperor Wen of Sui asked Neishilang Xue Daoheng to read out the edict of the abolished prince, which had both the grand reasons for abolishing him as a concubine, and many officials knew that these sins of the prince were not unforgivable, and they could not be deposed by the prince and demoted to the extent of being a concubine, but no one would refute anything, except for the neutral faction, most of the people in the court were from the Yang Guang faction.

However, there are also corrupt Confucian civil officials who are not long-sighted, and they can't see the situation clearly, such as Wenlin Lang Yang Xiaozheng stood up and wrote to Emperor Wen of Sui, admonishing: "The crown prince is mistaken by the villain, and it is appropriate to add teachings and not to depose." ”

This scene is quite dramatic, this person obviously knew that the emperor had deposed the crown prince, but he actually told Emperor Wen of Sui in a tone of lesson that "it is not appropriate to depose", and the result can be imagined, after being whipped by Emperor Wen of Sui, he was dismissed from his post and served as a citizen.

Subsequently, Emperor Wen issued an edict to behead Tang Lingze, the left concubine of the prince of the East Palace, and Zou Wenteng, the prince's family order, and Yang Yong's confidant Zuo Wei led Sima Xiahou Fu, the former servant Xiao Zibao, the former chief seal corporal He Zhu, the deputy general made the master craftsman Gao Longyi, and the rate was changed to order Jin Wenjian, the food supervisor Yuan Yan and the left guard general Yuan Min, and the judge Sinong Shaoqing Shi Yuan Heng were all given to death.

He also punished Yan Bi, the general of the cavalry, Cui Junxuan, the prince of Dongjun, Shen Fubao, the captain of the rangers, and Qiu Taiyi, the citizen of Yingzhou, with 100 rods each. At this point, it was announced that Yang Yong's factional group had basically withdrawn from the court hub, and his power was almost exhausted.

And Yang Guang, the king of Jin, was also promoted to the crown prince on this day, took charge of the East Palace, and became the nominal successor of the Great Sui Dynasty!
