Chapter 273: Panic 1
When the military horses of the imperial court arrived, the general of Zuotunwei, Yin Shishishi, personally went out and learned that Yang Chong had not woken up and was robbed, and Yinshishi immediately knew that something was wrong, and immediately ordered martial law in the Chang'an area to find Yang Chong. At this time, all the corpses of the people who followed the Quenching Heaven Pavilion were taken away, but it was impossible to eliminate the traces of battle inside and outside the courtyard, dark red blood could be seen everywhere on the ground, there were traces of arrows and stone attacks everywhere on the walls, trees, and stone piles, and the fire in the ditch was still somewhat unburned, emitting a dazzling firelight.
The people of Shannan Villa were so calm and afraid that they could not provide useful clues, only that they were attacked by bandits and were repelled by them; How could the Yin Shishi believe that in the capital of the Son of Heaven in Chang'an, there are no bandits nearby at all, even if they are bandits, what are they doing robbing the Shannan Courtyard, isn't it more convenient to have a hundred craftsmen village, there are herds of cattle and sheep and a large number of goods.
To the relief of the Yin World Master, Zhou Qian and Jiao Jun's eyeliner worked, and they saw the people of the Quenching Heaven Pavilion retreating, and even followed them; With the acquiescence of the Yin World Master, the two of them sent out a large number of secret agents and servants to investigate the clues, and all the points of the Quenching Heaven Pavilion seemed to be empty in an instant, and the people who followed them were either tied up or thrown on the side of the road by pointing acupuncture points.
When Yin Shishi returned to Shangshutai, he saw an urgent letter sent from Luoyang by Fan Zigai, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Yang Xuangan had swept through Henan's army and arrived at Yanshi. Yang Xuangan ordered Yang Jishan to lead his troops from the south of Yanshi to the west along Luoshui, and Yang Xuanting crossed the mountain from the south to attack the eastern capital. The Eastern Capital sent Henan Ling Da Xi to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to resist Yang Jishan, and the general was a prisoner, and Pei Hongce, Henan Zanzhi, led 8,000 local people's troops to meet Yang Xuanting.
Fan Zigai's letter meant that he hoped to recruit the disciples of Louguan Dao Feng Qiquan and Yang Chong's men to go down to the masters of the Shannan Courtyard to reinforce Luoyang, and it was best for Yang Chong to rush there in person, Mozi's city guarding technique was famous all over the world, if Yang Xuangan really killed Luoyang City, it would be used to defend the city. The Yin World Master shuddered and said, "Could it be that Yang Xuangan kidnapped Yang Chong?" ”
Yang Xuangan's father and son have been in a high position in the middle of the court for decades, and there are many eyes and ears, and now Chang'an Luoyang doesn't know how many officials are secretly communicating with Yang Xuangan, why did Yang Xuangan burn the dragon boat in Liyang, leading a group of people who have not received formal training, holding a single sword and willow shield, without bows and arrows and armor, they all dare to march to the eastern capital Luoyang. With the confidence in his heart, from Henan to Guanzhong, there are countless people waiting for Yang Xuangan to defect as soon as he arrives.
Tang Yi, the county guard of Hanoi, faced Yang Xuanting with 1,000 people, five times the number of troops, all of them were well-equipped and well-trained government troops, but they only dared to defend the city, because they were afraid of this. In the city, Tang Yi can still control the situation by relying on years of operation; Once the army left the city, Tang Yi was afraid that he would collapse without a fight, so some of his subordinates immediately cut off their heads and asked Yang Xuanting for credit. The worry of the Yin World Master was that Fan Zigai's plan was known to Yang Xuangan, so he did it.
Wei Xuan stood at the window melancholy, looked at the patrol team as usual, turned his back to the Yin Shishi and said, "It's too late now, the top priority is not to let Yang Chong appear in Yang Xuangan's camp, that will be a blow to morale, and it will even lead to Yang Chong's army in Gaochang being coerced into rebellion." In addition, Zhou Qian said that the person named Tianwu recently traded in Yang Chong's Taiyuan, Longmen and other places, and checked the whereabouts of Tianqi and those trading houses to see if it would be Zhang Guolao's move to take the opportunity to rescue Yang Chong from Chang'an. ”
Yin Shishi and Gu Yi sitting on the chair were shocked in their hearts, if it was Zhang Guolao who saved people, it would mean that Wei Xuan's plan had been leaked, Yang Chong woke up, and it was inevitable to rebel. The two understood that Wei Xuan was doubting himself, and only four people knew about Wei Xuan's plan to kill Yang Chong, except for Wei Xuan and Zhou Qian, who participated in the plan, there were only two more of them; But this kind of thing cannot be explained, and the justification can only be more and more black.
Wei Xuan turned around and said: "Zhou Qian and I know Yang Chong very well, Yang Chong's greatest ability is to recognize goods, whether it is an object or a person, Yang Chong can clearly analyze the value of it." Sikong Xing, Liu Hongji, Shan Xiongxin, Fang Xuanling, and Du Yan all show that Yang Chong's vision is outstanding, because of this, Yang Chong's people in charge of one side should not be taken lightly, Zhang Guolao has the reputation of half an immortal in Liangzhou, we can't be a little sloppy. ”
Gu Yi nodded solemnly and said: "Whether it is from Yang Chong's original intention or not, the news will have a significant impact on the situation in the Western Regions, Lord Wei Jie has returned to Guanzhong, Duke Wei must quickly inform General Yu that they are ready to respond, and arrange for Fang Xuanling and Cui Kaiyuan to temporarily take charge of the military affairs of Gaochang and Yiwu counties." Once Sikong Xing and the others made a decision because of Yang Chong's safety and decided to raise troops, it would be too late. ”
Wei Xuan agreed, and immediately ordered Shu Zuo to draft a decree, the three of them were all experienced officials, and they did not consider sending people to Gaochang to remove officials at this time, which was forcing Yang Chong's old department to rebel, and he could only hope for the loyalty of Fang Xuanling, Cui Kaiyuan and others and the prestige of the general Yu Zhongwen.
The three of them took the prepared will, went to see the acting king Yang Yu for instructions, even though the acting king Yang Yu is a child, the procedure to go still has to go, the acting king Yang Yu listened, did not say anything for a long time, and finally asked the waiter to bring a beautiful carved nan wooden box and said: "I found a name inside the wooden box containing the inkstone. At first, I thought it was a craftsman who left a name, but then I heard from my mother that Li Jing was a celebrity, who had been a Gongcao in Chang'an County, and then successively served as the chief of the palace and the driver of the department, and now he is the Cheng of Mayi County. ”
Li Jing, the three of them were stunned, and the past suddenly sounded like a dream. Li Jing is the nephew of the famous general Han Baohu, who looks burly and beautiful, and abducted Yang Su's domestic prostitute in the mansion of Yang Su, the Duke of Yueguo, when he was a teenager. Although Wei Xuan and the three of them are a little old-fashioned, they all know this story.
Gu Yi has been an official in Chang'an, and Li Jing, who has been a gong cao in Chang'an County, is an old acquaintance, and he arched his hand and said: "Han Baohu once said that Li Jing has the ability of Sun Wu and Wu Qi, and Niu Hong, the secretary of the ministry, praised Li Jing for having the talent of Wang Zuo, and Yang Su, the old prince of Yueguo, also said that Li Jing can sit in his position. The question is why Yang Chong left this name, I understand, Yang Chong is saying that when he has an accident, this person can take over the position. ”
Wei Xuan and Yin Shishi also understood that Yang Chong came to Chang'an this time, and he didn't plan that Wei Xuan would let him go back alive, Yang Chong and Yang Yu had no relationship, and he would not run to the acting king Yang Yu for no reason.
Acting King Yang Yu asked in a low voice: "I heard that Yang Xuangan has hit Luoyang, can you transfer Li Jing to Chang'an?" ”
