The autumn breeze is bleak, the trees have begun to wither, a cool breeze blows, and the leaves are flying.

At dusk, several crows crowed on an old tree, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the crows scattered and flew away.

There were more than a dozen horsemen who came, and each of them looked unusually tired, and their bodies were stained with undried bloodstains, which I don't know whether they were their own or the enemy's.

The horse in the middle, perhaps exhausted, bent his front hooves and fell, throwing the man on horseback hard.

"Duke Chu!" The others shouted, and immediately reined in their horses and went down to lift the man up.

This person is Yang Xuangan, the Duke of Chu who has stirred up the Great Sui River in the past few months, but at this time, in addition to more than a dozen personal guards around him, only his younger brother Yang Jishan remains.

After Yang Xuangan was helped up by his personal guards, it took a while to regain his footing.

Yang Jishan said: "Big brother, come and ride my horse!" ”

Yang Xuan smiled miserably and shook his head, "There must be enemy soldiers all around, what difference does it make if you ride a horse or not?" ”

He staggered forward as he spoke.

Seeing this, Yang Jishan and his relatives had no choice but to let their horses go and walk on foot with Yang Xuangan.

Everyone's feet stepped on the fallen leaves, making a "salsa" sound, and Yang Xuangan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked, "What kind of territory is around here?" ”

Yang Jishan replied: "This place is called Jia Lushu. ”

"Jia Lu Shu...... After Yang Xuan muttered a few words, he suddenly laughed loudly for a while, "Isn't this the capital of Qiu Chi Wudu Kingdom more than a hundred years ago?"...... Their last two kings, Yang Seng and Yang Wendu, all died here, and God seems to be kind to me, so let me die in a national capital surnamed Yang. ”

Yang Jishan was stunned and said, "Big brother, what are you talking about?" As long as we escape into Guanzhong, we may not be able to make a comeback! ”

Yang Xuan sighed: "Fourth brother, we can't escape, they have already surrounded us!" ”

After Yang Jishan heard this, his face was defeated and he took a few steps back, and he was depressed for a while.

Yang Xuangan pulled out his weapon, handed it to Yang Jishan's hand, stared at him with his eyes and said, "Even if you die, you don't want to endure the insults of others, you kill me!" ”

Yang Jishan shook his head again and again, "How dare I kill my brother?" After killing my brother, what face do I have to go to see my father? ”

Yang Xuan said: "If you kill me, then the faint monarch may spare your life, then our Yang family's lineage can be preserved, let's do it!" ”

Under the coercion of Yang Xuangan's three of us, Yang Jishan finally shed tears, raised his knife, shouted, and separated Yang Xuangan's body with a knife, and the first person who could be called a hero at the end of the Sui Dynasty was killed.

Yang Jishan took out all his strength to sit on the ground, and at this moment, a sound of horses' hooves sounded, and in an instant, Yang Jishan and others were surrounded by groups.

Yang Jishan glanced at the young man in the middle with a dead face, and said with a hollow eye: "You are the son of Tang Guogong, I saw you when I was in Sour Date City." ”

It was Li Yin's department that surrounded Yang Jishan and others.

Li Yin got off the horse at this time, walked to Yang Jishan's side, and gave him a water bladder.

Yang Jishan unceremoniously took the water bladder, poured a few mouthfuls of water, and then said: "Thank you!" ”

Li Yin was always silent, Yang Jishan looked at his eldest brother's head, and then looked at Li Yin, "You said, if I take this head to see the Son of Heaven, will he save me from death?" ”

Li Yin shook his head, "The lightest one, I'm afraid it's also a punishment for car splitting." ”

Yang Jishan smiled bitterly, "In all dynasties, which emperor would spare the rebels?" It's ridiculous that my eldest brother still wants to rely on me to preserve the Yang bloodline! ”

Yang Jishan then looked at Li Yin and said, "For the sake of being a disciple of the Guanlongmen valve, please allow me to make a decision on my own." ”

Li Yin nodded, got up and walked away.

After a while, a soldier sprinkled the heads of the two brothers, Yang Xuangan and Yang Jishan, sprinkled with embalming, and sent them to Li Yin in a special box, Li Yin didn't look at it, waved his hand and let the soldier retreat.

Li Yin looked at the last dozen or so Yang Xuangan guards, and sighed lightly: "Take off your armor, lose your weapons, and run to the northwest, you should be able to survive." ”

The dozen or so guards looked at each other with determination in their eyes, and then suddenly drew their weapons and wiped them all at their necks.

"No!" As soon as Li Yin's words fell, the dozen or so Yang Xuangan's guards all fell, and the dead leaves around them were immediately stained red with blood.

"Well, why bother!" It took Li Yin a while to come back to his senses, then he turned over and threw a fire fold on the dead leaves, and the flames slowly ignited, gradually turning into a raging fire, burning all the corpses there.

……

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and Luoyang, the eastern capital, is a little more lively than usual, and it is not at all obvious that there has just been a big war here not long ago.

In the palace, Li Yin, who had just returned to Luoyang, was kneeling there to answer.

Yang Guangduan sat on the dragon chair in the distance, making it difficult to see Long Yan clearly, and he said at this time: "Li Yin, you have made a lot of contributions in quelling Yang Xuangan's rebellion this time, and I will definitely be rewarded." ”

"The last general will not dare to be greedy, it all depends on Your Majesty's blessings, and the soldiers will work hard!" Li Yin said loudly.

After Yang Guang pondered for a while, he said: "Yang Xuangan and his brother Yang Jishan's bodies, why didn't you bring them back?" ”

Li Yin said: "Back to Your Majesty, the last general is troublesome, so he only brings back a head, and the rest are burned!" ”

Yang Guang said indifferently: "The next time you encounter this kind of thing, you are not allowed to make your own decisions again, I originally planned to divide Yang Xuangan's corpse into five horses, and then display the corpse in the downtown for three days, and finally chop it up and burn it, you are a cheap thief." ”

"The last will be damned!" Li Yin immediately shouted in fear.

Yang Guangdao: "This time, you are young and ignorant, forget it, you are a person I value, so I deliberately woke up, just don't do it again in the future." ”

Li Yinlian claimed that it was.

Yang Guang waved his hand and said, "Okay, I have other things to deal with, so you can go down first!" ”

Li Yin bowed and walked out, and when he was about to leave the palace gate, he saw Pei Yun, the imperial historian, Guyi, the waiter of the Criminal Department, Zheng Shanguo, Dali Qing, and Fan Zigai, who stayed in the eastern capital, Li Yin knew that these four people entered the palace together to meet Yang Guang, but they were afraid that nothing good would happen.

Li Yin's guess was not wrong, the four of them, after meeting Yang Guang, received an order to track down and dispose of Yang Xuangan's henchmen in the shortest possible time.

Before the four of them left the palace, they should say to the four people: "As soon as Yang Xuangan raised his arms, more than 100,000 people responded, and I feel more and more that there are not many people in the world, and as soon as there are many people, they will gather together to become thieves." If we do not completely kill these ill-intentioned people, we will not be able to punish future generations. ”
