Chapter 734: Self-reliance
During the mutiny last night, Yang Xiu's father and son were locked up in the Xiaoguo military camp.
At this time, Yang Xiu was only forty-four years old.
But Sima Dekan and others all think it's inappropriate, after all, if Yang Xiu is not easy to control, then this Yang Xiu is even more difficult to control.
"Yang Hao, the king of Qin, is usually humble, why don't you set him up?"
Yu Wenzhi said at this time, he protected Yang Hao, in addition to Yang Hao is a royal family, but also because Yang Hao has always had a good relationship with him. Yang Hao was the son of Emperor Yang Guang's brother Yang Jun of Qin, who died of illness in the twentieth year of the emperor's reign.
Yang Hao is Yang Jun's eldest son, but because Yang Jun's illness and death were actually poisoned and murdered by Yang Hao's mother Cui Fei, Cui was later given to death. Although Yang Hao has to inherit the throne, he actually has no office and no power.
Yang Hao has been a man with his tail between his legs all these years, and he was involved in Yang Xuangan's rebellion before and was dismissed.
"Then set up Yang Hao, and the rest of the clans and relatives, whether old or young, will not be left."
Sima De thought that he could let Empress Xiao issue an edict to establish Yang Hao as the emperor, and then live in another palace, send troops to guard it, and only let him sign and issue an edict.
"Yes!"
Yu Wenhua also thought that it would be better for Xiao to come forward and make Yang Hao the emperor, so it was decided that such a big matter would be made. Since Yang Hao has been established, then the emperor's grandson Yang Qi naturally can't stay, and Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, and his seven sons, as well as several sons of Qi Wangyun, can't stay either.
In addition, the relatives of the emperor such as the Dugu family were killed because Dugu Sheng and Dugu Kaiyuan resisted before, so they were all killed.
Without waiting for the new emperor to ascend the throne, Yu Wenhua immediately divided the hundred officials.
He took his younger brother Yuwen Zhihe as the left servant of Shangshu, Yu Wenshi and as the internal Shi Ling, Sima Dekan as the left Xiaowei general, and Yuan Li as the right Xiaowei general.
For the rest of the rebels and rebels, they will all be promoted to knights.
For Li Yuan, Shen Guang, Chen Ling and others in the Jiangbei camp, Yu Wenhua also awarded Li Yuan as a speaker, Chen Ling as the right servant of Shangshu, and Shen Guang as the general of Zuo Yiwei, and summoned them to the court to meet the Son of Heaven.
On the other hand, Yu Wenhua asked Sima Dekan, Yuan Li, Zhao Xingshu, Chen Botu and other Xiaoguo generals to strengthen the city defense and prepare to fight the Jiangbei Army.
And secretly, he also detained the families of some generals in the Jiangbei camp, and used this as a threat to force them to return.
On the other hand, he added Pengcheng's Laihu'er as Taibao, Jin Shangshu Order, and awarded the right Yiwei general to let him return to the court. Because Laihu'er had several sons in Jiangdu, they were all in his hands at this time, so he asked one of them to go to Pengcheng to announce the decree.
Jiangbei camp.
It is only fifty miles away from Jiangdu City.
Chen Ling and Shen Guang were the commanders, and they led 50,000 Xiaoguo troops to intercept Du Fuwei here.
When Li Yuan, with his son, son-in-law, and some relatives and friends who accompanied him in the middle of the night, hurriedly fled here with the support of hundreds of Ding tribes, Shen Guang thought it was Du Fuwei's roundabout night attack.
I finally confirmed my identity.
"Why did Tang Gong come here late at night?"
Chen Ling asked in surprise.
"Could it be that the partial division of Du Thief Gaoyou has already attacked Jiangdu?"
Li Yuan gasped.
"Du Thief's partial division is still stationed in Gaoyou, northeast of Jiangdu, and it has not been down for the time being, but Jiangdu's Xiaoguo has rebelled."
"Yu Wenhua, Sima Dekan, Yuan Li, Pei Qiantong and others are making trouble."
Shen Guang and the others were shocked.
"I came here to move you back to King Qin's rescue!" Li Yuan said.
"Yu Wenhua and Sima Dekan are against them? How is this possible, they are all His Majesty's former ministers, and they are hidden henchmen. ”
Li Yuan said, "When is it, how can I deceive you, in this situation, even the King of Qi dares to rebel, what is impossible, hurry up and raise troops, otherwise, I am afraid that it will be too late." ”
Shen Guang and Chen Ling looked at each other, and they both wondered if Li Yuan was the opposite.
After all, the opposite is Du Fuweijun, he is Luo Cheng's sworn friend, and Li Yuan is Luo Cheng's father-in-law, in addition, the emperor has been suspicious of Li Yuan before.
"Please don't worry, Gong Tang, take a break, I'll send someone to inquire."
Chen Ling and Shen Guang didn't move immediately, they were worried about Li Yuan, so they discussed it, and only decided to send a cavalry back to the Jiangdu City first to see the movement.
"Well, if you are like this, you will be mistaken."
But the second general Shen Chen couldn't believe Li Yuan either.
"In that case, I only remind you of one thing, hurry up and control the Jiangbei Ying Liyu Culture and the friends of Sima Dekan and others first, don't let them take the opportunity to make trouble." Li Yuan said.
Shen Guang patted his chest and said, "My Jiangbei battalion is dominated by the Xiaoguo Left First Army, and there are Jianghuai soldiers and horses, and there is no Sima Yuwen's party, so you can rest assured." ”
Having said that, Shen Guang and Chen Ling left Li Yuan and his gang, and after sending people to watch, they immediately summoned the generals and began to investigate while sending people to Jiangdu City.
This check, sure enough, something was found.
There are really military schools that are preparing to make trouble, and they are colluding in all directions.
They originally wanted to wait for the big matter on Jiangdu's side to be decided, and then start an incident, so that they could coerce Chen Ling and Shen Guang to accept Jiangdu's will.
Unexpectedly, Li Yuan suddenly arrived and broke their plan.
This is also due to the fact that most of the soldiers in the Jiangbei battalion are recruited by the Jianghuai Army and the Central Plains, compared to Sima Dekan's Xiaoguo who mainly came from Guanzhong in Jiangdu, these people really don't want to escape from Jiangdu.
By the time Chen Ling and Shen Guang interrogated them clearly, it was already noon at this time.
The messengers of Jiangdu have arrived.
"Your Majesty? The edict of King Qin succeeded to the throne, Yu culture and auxiliary government? ”
After receiving the edict, Shen Guang was furious.
At this time, he also understood that what Li Yuan said was the truth, but it was a pity that they were still a step late.
He was so sorry that he was even more furious at the messenger who came to announce the decree, "Pull these rebels out and behead them!" ”
Li Yuan and the others were welcomed over.
"I didn't expect the traitor to be so fast."
Shen Guang bowed his hand to Li Yuan, "Li Xiang, what should we do now?" ”
Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and he was also thinking in his heart, in fact, since the rebellion last night, he had been thinking about it, where was he going to go?
When he escaped from Jiangdu City, he had two choices, one was to flee north to the military camp of his daughter Sanniang in Linyi. When you go to Linyi, you naturally defect to Luo Cheng.
Another option is to go west, to Jiangbei Daying.
In the end, he went to the camp in Jiangbei, but he was still one step late.
Now, it's time to choose again.
Yu Wenhua has already killed the monarch and controlled Jiangdu City, and also supported Yang Hao, the king of Qin, with fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses in his hands.
Li Yuan asked Chen Ling and Shen Guang.
"Two generals, what are you going to do?"
Shen Guang said without saying a word, "Naturally, we will gather our soldiers and horses, kill back to Jiangdu, and kill the rebels." ”
"And then?" Li Yuan asked.
Chen Ling thought for a while, "Embrace the queen and help the emperor's coffin return to Xijing?" ”
Hearing the second general's reply, Li Yuan finally made his own decision.
