"Is this message really accurate? Do you want to use a few spare lines to cross-confirm, after all, this matter is very important, but there must not be any negligence and omission. This is the first time Li Wenyuan has confirmed the authenticity of Yang Guang's death to Qiu Niang today. He knew the fact of Yang Guang's death at this moment, and he was a little overwhelmed. Although he knew that Yang Guang would be killed by his own men sooner or later, he had done so much since he crossed over. Presumably, history should have some small fluctuations anyway, but history has once again shown Li Wenyuan his terrible inertia. In the fourteenth year of the Great Cause, Yang Guang was forced into the palace by Yu Wenshu's son Yu Wenhua and the mutiny launched by the accompanying Guanzhong guards in his Jiangdu palace, and after the idea of wanting to commit suicide by drinking was decisively rejected by Yu Wenhua. Yang Guang relieved the Bai Lian he was carrying with him and handed it to Linghu Xingda, who was ordered by Fengyu Wenhua to come forward to take his life, and then was killed by Linghu Xingda with Bai Lian.

"We've used a lot of back-up lines, and we've even lost a dozen people to confirm the authenticity of this piece of information. This news is absolutely true. Yang Guang is indeed dead. After hearing Li Wenyuan's question, Qiu Niang also frowned and said to Li Wenyuan. For this matter, the night owl had corresponding arrangements and plans a long time ago. The emergency measures for this matter have been implemented since Yu Wenhua and led his troops to force the palace. Now Qiu Niang is still waiting for the people in Yang Guang's Jiangdu Palace to pass back the final result.

Li Wenyuan looked at Qiu Niang, knowing that no matter how much he urged, there was no better way, so he sat back at his desk again, frowning and began to think about what to do next. But Li Wenyuan didn't think about it for too long, and the sound of hurried footsteps outside the house interrupted Li Wenyuan's thoughts, and a night owl almost broke into the door and hurriedly came to Qiu Niang, handed over a letter-like thing with both hands, and said to Qiu Niang: "Master Mother, the news has come back from the direction of Jiangdu Palace, and now it is all here, please take a look." ”

After Li Wenyuan heard this, he also hurriedly stood up and came to Qiu Niang's back, watching Qiu Niang open the letter in front of him little by little, Li Wenyuan's heart couldn't help but hang in the air. Unlike the official documents that Li Wenyuan usually handles, the letters are all written in traditional characters, which seems quite laborious. All the information conveyed in Night Stalker is in simplified Chinese characters, so Li Wenyuan can also recover his reading speed of one glance and ten lines when he reads at this time. At this time, the meaning of the letter was very brief: "Yang Guang died, and Yang Qi escaped." After the ban on Jiangdu is lifted, Yang Qi can be sent to the Western Regions on a certain day. Empress Xiao will have time to contact this fashion in the future, but for now, her life is safe. ”

After reading what this letter said, Li Wenyuan's hanging heart can be regarded as returning to its original position. In any case, Yang Guang and Empress Xiao had three princes: the eldest son Yang Zhao died early due to physical problems, and the second son Yang Xuan and the third son Yang Gao were no longer suitable to be puppet emperors at this age, so these people were not in the rescue list arranged by Li Wenyuan in advance. The whereabouts of Yang Zhengdao, the widow left by the second prince Yang Yun, are unknown at this time. The night owl who is short of manpower naturally has no time to take care of him anymore, so now in the royal family of the entire Sui Dynasty, only the three imperial grandsons left by Yang Zhao, the eldest son of Emperor Yang of Sui, are the most recognized by the world, but now the eldest emperor's grandson Yang Yu is set up as the emperor on Li Yuan's side and strictly guarded, even the night owl cannot completely guarantee that Yang Yu will be rescued alive. The second emperor, Sun Yang Tong, is now supported by Wang Shichong as a puppet emperor in Luoyang, and now he is followed by a large number of civil and military officials of the Sui Dynasty, and there is Wang Shichong, a famous general who has just defeated Wagang Mountain, who controls the government. Therefore, if he wants to bring Yang Tong to the Western Regions to be a puppet emperor at this time, he must be unwilling to do it himself, anyway, he is a puppet emperor, why should he abandon the prosperous Luoyang City and go to the Western Regions, which has always been bitter and cold in the eyes of the world, to suffer? So Li Wenyuan gave up on these two early, and instead set his sights on Yang Guang's eldest son, the third grandson.

Li Wenyuan is not ready to jump out and claim the emperor right now and become the target of the people of the world, and he has lost the support of the people in vain. Therefore, it is necessary to follow the example of Wang Shichong and Li Yuan, who supported the descendants of the Sui Dynasty royal family as puppet emperors, and also to play a drama of blackmailing the Son of Heaven to order the princes. It's a big deal to let the virtuous after conquering the world, this thing is not without precedent. Therefore, Li Wenyuan is also at his fingertips for this method at this time, and the configuration of his night owls in Jiangdu is focused on the need to rescue Yang Qi as soon as there is a change in Jiangdu Palace. All in all, Yang Qi must not be killed by Yu Wenhua in the palace change as in history.

"We have been carrying out the plan of exchanging Han people for Hu soldiers to various forces in the Central Plains for some days. Recently, quite a few more prisoners have been captured on the Western and Eastern Fronts. I don't know what the reaction of those forces in the Central Plains is to the Hu soldiers provided by our plan? After Li Wenyuan looked at the letter repeatedly, he handed it back to Qiu Niang, and then asked Qiu Liang a question that seemed to be unrelated.

Qiu Niang couldn't help but be stunned when Li Wenyuan asked her like this, but she quickly retrieved the information that Li Wenyuan wanted in her mind: "It's not bad, the prisoners in the previous inventory have been almost bought by those Central Plains forces." At the beginning, we gave a price of three Hu soldiers for one Han family, and later the price has increased to one Hu soldier in exchange for five Han families, but even so, the Hu soldiers we released each time were quickly sold out. ”

"What about military rations? The Central Plains has been in chaos for so long, and it has been calling all day long. Except for Li Yuan, who was supported by those Guanlong nobles and did not have a shortage of military rations, the remaining forces should more or less have the problem of insufficient supply of grain and grass. Li Wenyuan carefully calculated the days, it has been one or two years since the world was in turmoil, and even if there are one or two forces that can still guarantee spring planting and autumn harvest, but judging from the situation where banditry is rampant in various places, the overall supply is still in short supply.

"The military food trade has not been opened by our night owls, after all, the official warehouses of the Great Sui in various places are enough for the people who are now surviving in the Central Plains to eat for another three or five years. At this time, even if the military rations were released, they would not be able to sell them at a price, and if they were not forced to do so, those people would never exchange their own farmers for Hu soldiers. Qiu Niang did not hesitate to say directly to Li Wenyuan.
