Chapter 2: The Sword of Damolix
"How many years has it been now?" Yang Guang asked faintly.
"Ah, how are you? You okay? Xiao Meiniang asked with some concern.
"I ask you, how many years has it been now!?" Yang Guang didn't have any thoughts of pity and beauty at the moment, so he opened his eyes and said in a deep voice.
"Back to the supreme, it is now the fourteenth year of the great cause!" Xiao Meiniang only got Yang Guang drunk and replied according to his words.
Fourteen years of great cause! Fourteen years of great cause! Fourteen years of great cause!
Yang Guang swallowed his phlegm heavily, then his body suddenly moved forward, stretched out his hands, tremblingly grabbed Xiao Meiniang's jade arm, opened his mouth, stared, like a death row prisoner looking forward to the final trial result, and asked in an almost pleading tone: "How many months?" β
"March." Xiao Meiniang replied honestly.
Hearing this, Yang Guang's eyes shrank, and a feeling of despair arose. Even the concubines didn't react, Yang Guang once again sat down on the ground as if he had been drained of strength, and muttered to himself: "March, March of the fourteenth year of the Great Cause!" Hehe, hehehe, hehehe~~! β
In the third month of the lunar calendar, it means that the Qingming Festival has passed, and it is now the month of Bingchen, and Yang Guang died in the month of Bingchen.
In other words, the Jiangdu mutiny may occur at any time, and Yang Guang's life hangs by a thread, and he is in danger!
This mutiny is not an ordinary motley army, but Yang Guang's Central Praetorian Guard, the Xiaoguo Army with the best combat effectiveness in the world!
The Xiaoguo Army was formed in the third year of the emperor's reign, and Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian merged his own pro-army Xiaowei and Guoyi into the Xiaoguo Army, as the Praetorian Guard under the direct control of the imperial army. It is the elite of the elite selected from the government soldiers from all over the country, and all the Xiaoguo sergeants are left arm pattern eagles, called blood eagles. It is known as "standing on the fist, walking on the arm."
Their equipment is also the best of all the armed forces in the country, the crotch is an exotic horse, when fighting, people wear double heavy armor, horses wear special steel vests, wear eagle helmets made of fine iron, and with a unified riding lance and swords, short axes and other secondary weapons.
There is a poem that praises: Daxing beauties lean on the door, and everyone is willing to marry Xiaoguojun.
At this time of chaos in the world, Yang Guang took this luxurious army with him, which can be described as greedy for life and afraid of death. But what is fatal now is that most of these Xiaoguo troops are people from Guanzhong, who have been with Yang Guang all the year round and have not returned home for several years.
Now, Li Yuan raised troops from Taiyuan and captured Guanzhong, coupled with the turbulence of the times and the blockage of roads, the soldiers are very worried about missing their hometown. As a result, there will be desertions in the Xiaoguo army every day, and they will be banned repeatedly. Whether it is killing chickens and monkeys, or using Jiangdu beauties to warm their beds, these simple Guanzhong men all want to go home.
It doesn't matter if they want to go home, the key is that Yu Wenzhi wants to do something, coupled with the planning of Sima Dejia, Pei Qiantong and others, taking advantage of the eagerness of the Xiaoguo soldiers to miss their hometown and not be able to return and their dissatisfaction with the imperial court and even Yang Guang himself for many years, a mutiny is brewing that is enough to shake the earth and change the dynasty!
This mutiny against Yang Guang himself has begun to be carried out quietly, like the sword of Damorix hanging above Yang Guang's head, which may be cut down at any time!
Before Yang Guang could recover his strength, all the concubines and concubines rushed up and said coquettishly:
"Supreme, what's wrong with you? Supreme! β
"Supreme, are you alright? It's scared to death of the concubine! β
"Supreme, does it hurt?"
"Supreme, get up, it's cold on the ground!"
γγγγγγ
In normal times, if Yang Guang is surrounded by so many beauties, he is willing to spend ten years of his life!
But now, the price of so many beauties is that they may be hanged tomorrow.
It is said that the red face is troublesome, this will be believed!
"Get out!" Yang Guang was like an enraged lion, suddenly kicked up violently, and roared like thunder: "Get out of here!" The farther you roll, the better! β
"Supreme!?" Xiao Meiniang rarely saw Yang Guangfa have such a big temper, and thought something was wrong, so she was worried.
The concubines were also caught off guard, and they all asked the emperor what was wrong, if there was anything wrong, what happened, and so on.
"Get out! Get out of here! Yang Guang roared angrily as he picked up the dragon staff in his hand and beat the concubines violently.
"Bang Bang!"
Yang Guang didn't want to hear a word at the moment, he just wanted to be quiet. As soon as he picked up a life from the hands of Lord Yama, he immediately knew that he would die next, and he was probably in an extremely bad mood if he was anyone.
Seeing that all the concubines were involved in the obscenity of their sticks, only Xiao Meiniang was still standing in place, looking at herself worriedly, Yang Guang was angry, pointed at Xiao Meiniang with a dragon staff, and shouted with all his might: "What? Can't you hear me? Or are you not listening to me anymore!? β
Seeing this, Xiao Meiniang finally understood the seriousness of the situation, but due to Yang Guang's majesty, Xiao Meiniang had to suppress the doubts and worries in her heart, and said: "The Supreme is angry, and the concubine is retired!" β
After everyone retreated, Yang Guang sat alone by the lake, looking at the lake in a daze.
The willows on the river bank fluttered, and the spring breeze blew on the lake one after another, wantonly blowing a bunch of bangs hanging down by Yang Guang.
The artistic conception is very beautiful, but the spring breeze can't bring the thoughts of distant relatives, let alone Yang Guang's sorrow.
Yang Guang thought of what happened to him, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and had the urge to cry.
Looking at the rippling blue water of the lake, thinking of his encounter when he went to the sea to play, Yang Guang was speechless.
Let's cross it, why can't it be worn to the heavenly khan Li Shimin, dominate the territory, dominate the world, and create a great rule of Zhenguan.
At the end of the day, I put it on the samurai, and I don't have to do anything, just give birth to a good daughter.
can make people, why is it Yang Guang, the Emperor Yang of Sui who lost the country!
And it is still the fourteenth year of the great cause, in March, Yang Guang on the eve of the change in Jiangdu!
It's not that I don't want to save my life, but the Great Sui Empire at this time, this giant dragon boat, is crumbling in the wind and rain.
The Great Sui Empire, as one of the most powerful eras in Chinese history, as the shortest-lived unified dynasty in Chinese history, and as the most powerful country in the world at that time, in his last days, it was no different from the late period of the previous dynasty and the descendantsγγγγγγ
At this time, in this land of 9,300 miles from east to west and 14,815 miles from north to south, a group of heroes rose together and there were many princes, such as: Li Mi of Wagang, Li Yuan of Guanzhong, Xiao Milling of Jingzhou, Dou Jiande of Hebei, and Xue Ju of Longyou, who sat on thousands of miles of fertile land and hundreds of thousands of armors; Small such as Youzhou Luo Yi, Ma Yi Liu Wuzhou, Mantian Wang Xuba, Jiaozhou Lin Shihong, Huainan Du Fuwei, Huaibei Li Zitong, Shuofang Liang Shidu, Wujun Shen Faxing, Liangzhou Li Liang tens of thousands of elite soldiers, separating one side; Other generations such as Yuyang Gao Kaidao, Shanggu Gao Tansheng, Zhishilang Wang Bo, Nanyang Zhu Cang, Taihang Wang Junkuo, Lin Shu Wang Deren and so on are countless.
There are only a handful of territories under the control of the Great Sui Empire, except for the two large areas of Jiangdu and Luoyang, the rest of the territories are either cut off from roads or independent.
At this moment, the Great Sui Empire, except for Yang Guang, whose banner has not yet fallen, has actually existed in name only!
Suddenly, Yang Guang had an idea, as if he had been reborn, and screamed: "System! β
"Haha! How did I forget the system, God let me travel to the end of the Sui Dynasty and regain my life, you have to give me some benefits! β
"You have to match me with an excellent high-configuration system, plus a sweet voice, but a slave can be cold and the best secret! In this way, life is simply not too pretty! β
Thinking of this, Yang Guang sat directly by the lake, waiting for the awakening of the system.
γγγγγγ
Half an hour later, Yang Guang waited a little impatiently, and wondered in his heart, does this system need special conditions to awaken?
For example, blood sacrifices, such as encountering life-threatening conditions.
Thinking of this, Yang Guang took out a red lead pill from his cuff and looked at it in a daze, wondering whether to eat it or not!
This red lead pill is a strong poison, and after eating it, the person immediately loses consciousness, bleeds to death, and ends without pain.
This is the predecessor Emperor Yang of Sui specially prepared by his side, because Emperor Yang of Sui knew that he would die one day, in order to avoid pain, so he often kept this poison by his side in case of emergency.
γγγγγγ
After a few hours, the sky was completely dark, the lake was quiet, as silent as a pool of stagnant water, and the willows also rested, shining in the moonlight, and Yang Guang did not have the courage to eat the poison after all.
If you want to commit suicide, this kind of thought is easy to get up when you are discouraged, and when you take action, your body is really stiff, and your desire to survive is strong! I was finally reborn, it's too late to cherish it, how can I be willing to commit suicide!
What's more, in Yang Guang's view, suicide is a manifestation of proving his cowardice and incompetence, and the arrogant Yang Guang does not want future generations to record: In the fourteenth year of the great cause, the world was in turmoil, and the emperor was unable to control the situation, so he committed suicide by poisoning under fear and died at the age of 50. He said, "Yang." β
At this time, in a dark place, a pair of wolf-like eyes quietly stared at Yang Guang, who was in a daze, and the soles of his shoes were sunk by an inch, showing that he had been observing for a long, long time.
