is full of flawed reasons, but it can't be concluded because of this, it is Yang Chong's person; Li Jing, who had just been appointed as the secretary of the Acting Palace, said: "It is pointless to pursue this now, the key is the tens of thousands of people who are not right. On the surface, in the two wars, Tang Guogong gave Wuduan a huge amount of damage, but from Wuduan'er's point of view, except for Chai Baochang's people, more than 20,000 people under his command are now veterans who have escaped and fought bloodily, and the armor has also increased to seven or eight thousand sets, and the combat effectiveness has only increased but not decreased. ”

Although they didn't get along for a long time, Zhang Jin admired Li Jing very much, and believed that Yang Chong, who could recommend Li Jing to Yang Yu, the acting king, was actually not in a hurry to rebel as Wei Xuan guessed, but was forced to constantly protect himself. Zhang Jin tentatively proposed: "Since Yang Chong and Wudu'er have an old relationship, it is better to let Yang Chong send someone to find Wudu'er and persuade these tens of thousands of people to go to Zhangye and return Li Yuan's five thousand sets of armor and weapons." ”

Wei Xuan categorically vetoed: "No, if Yang Chong secretly instructed Wu'er, what he wanted was this opportunity." Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and now King Liu Miao will fight to the death with Wu Duan'er, and order Li Yuan to continue to chase and kill. ”

Wei Jie provided a piece of news: "Six days ago, a caravan escorted by 2,000 people under King Liu Miao was attacked on the road from Lishi to Wuyuan, and a group of more than 2,300 people were killed, and 70 truckloads of grain, tea, porcelain, and cloth were all looted. According to the Turkic report, the robbers were large groups of cavalry, retreating in the direction of Helan Mountain, and it is said that there were several caravans along the way, and the robbers did not commit any crimes, and when they bought donkey carts and mule carts in a bazaar, the robbers paid according to the price. The Turks estimated that the massacre of Liu Miaowang's caravan should have been a revenge or a warning. ”

Gu Yi asked, "What do the officials and soldiers of the counties and counties along the way do to eat, so that the robbers can return to Helan Mountain?" ”

Seventy carts of goods, and then donkey carts and mule carts, must be more than 2,000 people's weapons and other trophies, so vast, how can the Sui army along the way not see. Wei Jie didn't answer, looking at the Yin World Master; Yin Shishi coughed and said: "Duke Wei, this is the plan that Guo Rong discussed with you, he concentrated five thousand elite soldiers near Helan Mountain, just waiting for Zong Luohu's brigade to leave and attack Barma Village; Then wait in the mountains for Zong Rahu to come back and ambush him. ”

Wei Jie smiled: "General, so many days have passed, at least the good news of the attack on the cottage should come, right?" ”

As he spoke, Yuan Wuqian walked in and said with a gloomy face: "The battle report of Beidi County has reported that the five thousand people who attacked Helan Mountain have disappeared, and in the past five days, three groups of people have been sent into the mountain to look for them, but no trace has been found. But from the mouth of a hunter, I learned that there had been a fierce battle in Barge Horse Village, and the hunter also said that there were tens of thousands of people in Barge Horse Village. ”

"Tens of thousands." The Yin World Master almost jumped up: "How did the spies from the Northland County investigate, didn't they say that there were only three thousand people?" ”

Yuan Wuji reluctantly handed over the official document and said: "There are only 3,000 people stationed in Barge Horse Village, but Barge Horse Village is blocked at the intersection, in fact, there is a small meadow sixty miles northwest of Barge Horse Village, and there is also a cottage where thousands of people are stationed, as well as displaced people who run from the east. It should be that when Zong Luohu goes out, the meadow will send someone to take over the defense of the barge horse village. ”

In the end, the discussion was fruitless, so it was better to wait for Guo Rong and Li Yuan's detailed reports to come before making a decision; Everyone dispersed, Wei Xuan was haggard, and after bidding farewell to Yang Yu, the acting king, he went out of the palace gate and got into the carriage to go back. The carriage was majestic all the way, and the pedestrians avoided the road one after another, Wei Xuan leaned on the cushion, listening to the ticking of the horse's hooves, and suddenly a nursery rhyme came: "Yang flowers fall, plum flowers bloom; Peach and plum, there is the world. ”

Wei Xuan's body shook suddenly, the child's voice was immature and clear, and the sound was in his ears. This proverb, which was rumored to be the Son of Heaven as early as the time of Emperor Wen, was resurrected again in the children's voice. When the world is about to die, there will be all kinds of folk songs, like a gust of wind rising up, blowing all over the sky and dust, making people's hearts beat; Up to the officials and nobles, down to the common people, they all began to talk about it, and finally even similar lyrics circulated in the Qinglou.

This is the sign of "Li should be the Son of Heaven", the palace of Zhuo County was slaughtered, and Angada persuaded Yang Guang to kill all the people surnamed Li in the world, although Yang Guang did not adopt it, but for the people surnamed Li, he was already suspicious. Yu Wenshu, who came back from the front line to report on the war, provided Yang Guang with a candidate to kill chickens and set an example: "Li Hun, the general of Zuo Wuwei, has very different tastes in recent years, and often consults with Li Min and Shanheng day and night, or sleepless. Li Hun is an important minister of the imperial court, his family is prosperous, and he is in charge of the forbidden army, and I hope His Majesty will check it. ”

If others say Li Hun, Yang Guang has to think about it; But Yu Wenshu is Li Hun's brother-in-law, when Li Mu, the Duke of Shen Guo, died, it was all thanks to Yu Wenshu's help that Li Hun was able to stand out among the brothers and inherit Li Mu's title as the youngest son. What Yang Guang didn't know was that in order to establish an heir, Li Hun had promised to give half of the Yulu to Yuwenshu, but it was only two years after the fact, so Yuwenshu held a grudge.

Li Hun, Li Min and Yang Xuan, the king of Qi, were coming north with the army and stationed in Huaiyuan Town. ”

It's not easy to find a reason, Yuwenshu arranged for Wu Benlang to write to Pei Renji to Li Hun and others before leaving the next day, Zhuo County, Luoyang, and Chang'an immediately began to arrest people, Yang Guang ordered Zuo Cheng Yuanwen to be in Luoyang, and the imperial historian Pei Yun to try the case together in Zhuo County. The two asked for a month, but they still couldn't get a testimony, Yang Guang was even more angry, as soon as he was involved in the five surnames and seven Wangzhong, his words were not listened to, where was the dignity of the emperor.

It dragged on until July, when the soldiers came to protect the children to force Pyongyang, and the king of Goguryeo, Gao Yuan, was afraid, so he sent an envoy to ask for surrender, imprisoned and took the initiative to send it back to Hu Sizheng as a gift. In fact, the Sui army was also in difficulty, the country was in turmoil, and half of the conscripted troops failed to arrive, so Yang Guanghe took the opportunity to announce that considering the surrender of Goguryeo, the Eastern Crusade would be ended, and the edict would return to Hu'er and other armies. When Yu Wenshu saw him in Huaiyuan Town, Yang Guang decided to hand over Li Hun's case to Yu Wenshu.

Yuwen said that Chengzhu was in his chest, and when he went to the prison, he found Yuwen Eying, the wife of Li Min, who would be a master craftsman, and said: "Madame is the niece of the Son of Heaven, why don't you have a good man in the future!" Li Min and Li Hun, the name is a demon, the court must be killed, no one can save it, Mrs. should strive to protect herself, if she can be the first Li Min, she will be fine. ”

Yuwen Eying is a little woman who grew up with a golden key, how can she understand these scheming, coupled with a few months of captivity, she was really scared, so she asked Yuwen Shu for advice, and Yuwen Shu taught her word by word, and let Yuwen Eying write it down and seal it. The chapter said that Li Hun had consulted with Li Min, saying that Li Min's nickname was Li Hong, and he should be the Son of Heaven; The two thought that Yang Guang was a good soldier and died in the Sui Dynasty, and they were ready to arrange for the children of the Li family to lead the troops and horses, waiting for the opportunity to attack the imperial camp and subvert the Great Sui.

Yang Guang watched the concerto, a heart fell into his stomach, and he squeezed out a few tears and said to Yuwen: "The Great Sui River will fall several times, and it is all thanks to the efforts of the father-in-law and has been preserved. So Yang Guang issued an order to punish Li Hun, Li Min and other thirty-two clans, both young and old, all of them migrated to Lingnan, and Yuwen Eying gave poisoned wine and died.
