Chapter 45: Reversal (2)
Pujin Guan Yang Su camp, this day Yang Su heard the report of the defenders of Guan:
"My lord, the rebels in front of the pass have all retreated for some reason, and the pontoon bridge over the Yellow River has been broken, and General Yuwen asked if he wanted to pursue the enemy. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Yang Suyi waved his hand to stop it.
"No, you don't! Tell General Yuwen to immediately send detectives to see if there is an ambush. The guards took the order. A day later, the news of the Taiyuan mutiny reached Pujin Pass, and the scouts sent returned. No ambush was reported. Yang Su wrote a good performance like Yang Guang's report, and asked for some food and ordnance by the way, while continuing to explore the movements of Yang Liang's rebels. He also ordered the people to be summoned to rebuild the Yellow River pontoon bridge. After a few days, the pontoon bridge over the Yellow River had been rebuilt, but Yang Su ordered the whole army not to move, recuperate, and those who dared to speak out to ask for war were immediately beheaded. Although Yu Wenhua, Pei Ju and others under his command were dissatisfied in their hearts, because Yang Su was the boss, they didn't dare to say much, but secretly wrote a secret letter to report to Yang Guang of Chang'an, and Yang Su only smiled slightly after knowing it. But his son Yang Xuan didn't feel good in his heart. On this day, he was bored, and walked to his father's study to ask his father what was going on, and when he walked in, he happened to see Yang Su playing chess with Li Jing, whom he valued a lot.
"Ahh Father, Senior Brother Yao is also here! Yang Xuangan said hello to Li Jing, and wanted to ask his father the reason directly, but he also took into account the presence of outsiders. So he stood at the door.
"Xuangan, if you have something to say, don't spit, like a woman! There are no outsiders here. Yang Su asked impatiently.
The child didn't understand and wanted to talk to his father. Now that the enemy is fighting internally, Taiyuan is in danger, Yang Liang led the army to evacuate, if his father is worried that there is an ambush outside the pass, hasn't the Tancai already explored? There was no ambush. Moreover, we are now well fed, and we should quickly put down his rebellion, so as to redeem the favor of our Yang family in front of the emperor and the crown prince. β
"Humph! Xuangan, you are still too young, lack of experience, and can't hold your breath, you are not as good as a pharmacist in this regard. In fact, when my father got the news, he planned to send troops, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that the time had not come. Being a father is just waiting for the moment. When the time comes, we're going to send troops. β
"But isn't that the timing? If we miss the opportunity, the time will γγγγγγ Before he finished speaking, Yang Su's face changed slightly.
"Xuan Gan, are you doubting your father's decision?"
"Father, the child doesn't dare."
"Okay, the military has been busy lately, you go and rest first! Remember, this is the barracks, don't make this mistake again. Yang Xuan was afraid of Yang Su's majesty and hurriedly retreated. At the door, I heard Yang Su say: "Pharmacist, judging from the chess path, you still know the old man's mind best, come!" Pair with the old man for a few more rounds. After receiving the secret letter from Pei Ju and Yu Wenhua and others and Yang Su's recital, Yang Guang of Chang'an was relieved by Concubine Xiao in advance, so he still doubled Yang Su's food and ordnance, and issued an edict in the name of the emperor to be relieved.

After more than ten days of rapid marching, Yang Liang rushed back to Taiyuan City, only to see that the four gates of Taiyuan were closed, and there were many swords and guns. But it can still be seen that many of them are ordinary people who have not undergone military training.
"Taiyuan soldiers and people listen, I am the Han King Yang Liang, we have broken through the Pujin Pass and Tongguan, Chang'an is just around the corner, you have followed the king for many years, the king asks himself to treat you well, why betray the king, the eldest grandson Xingbu, Dou Lu Yu this king usually relies on you very much, has always loved talent, know that you are bewitched by the emperor's old man, this king is also willing to blame the past, if you are willing to reopen the city gate, this king is willing to re-accept you, and ascend the throne in the future as the emperor, you are still a high-ranking official, the pillar of the court! If the city gate is not opened, when the city is broken, a chicken and dog will be killed. β
The eldest grandson Xingbu was patrolling the city gate, and when he heard Yang Liang's shout, he immediately replied:
"The prince still don't deceive people, the situation of the day forced me to submit to the prince. Now I hope that the prince can wake up, don't leave a name for himself in history, if the prince is willing to stop the army, ask the emperor and the court for guilt, I believe that the emperor will never hurt the prince's γγγγγγ Yang Liang listened, and his lungs exploded. Without waiting to finish speaking, he directly ordered the siege of the city. The main force of Taiyuan City was taken out of the city by Yang Liang, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled, but because it was one of the military towns of the Sui Dynasty in the north, especially Yang Liang's painstaking management for many years, Taiyuan City had thick walls, and there were dozens of artillery pieces on the city alone. Yang Liang was annoyed and ashamed, and ordered to apply fierce fire oil to the bow and arrow, and shot into the city, for a while, the city of Taiyuan was on fire everywhere, the fire burned the sky red, and the cries of the residents inside spread to the outside, and many Taiyuan soldiers in Yang Liang's army heard the cry, and saw the fire in the sky, their hearts were even more painful, and many people cried. Some people even shouted at Taiyuan City.
"Mother! Children are not filial! You're good all the way! β
"Daddy! The fire is big, you have to be careful! β
"I'm not a soldier anymore, I'm going homeγγγγγγ" Some people really couldn't stand the inner torture, and rushed directly towards the camp gate, but the officers and soldiers guarding the camp gate were all strictly ordered by the superiors to not allow them to go out.
"The prince has an order, and those who leave the camp without permission will be punished according to the laws and regulations of the army, and there will be no forgiveness for killing!" This angered the sergeants, "Damn, brothers, fight with them." Picked up knives and guns and fought with the sergeant in front of the door, and then, the sergeant next to him didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, they all picked up knives and guns and slashed each other, the scene was immediately chaotic, some places in the camp were on fire, because no one put out the fire, it spread immediately, some sergeants also wanted to take advantage of the chaos to attack the camp where Yang Liang lived, Yang Liang heard the shouting and killing in the camp tent, and came out and was startled:
"It's Yingxiao! Quickly, order all the soldiers to defend the camp to the death, no one is allowed to approach, once they get close, shoot them with bows and arrows, and also, open the camp gate, all the soldiers will exit the camp and wait, all the swords and guns will be put down, everyone will stop slashing, and those who disobey the military order will be shot. The soldiers immediately carried out the order, and many people took advantage of the chaos to escape from the camp. After the camp noise subsided, he looked at the chaos and the dark camp, and then the news that annoyed him came one after another:
"Report to the king! The last general has just checked the remaining strength of the battalions, more than half of the deserters, and now we are short of troops, and we must replenish them immediately. β
"Lord Wang, most of the grain and grass have been lost, and many war horses have been scared away."
"Lord Wang, let's retreat first!"
"Lord Wang, make a decision early!" Listening to the reports of his generals, Yang Liang's hands were clenched, only to feel a sweetness in his chest, and a mouthful of blood spit out.
"Military doctor, military doctor, save the prince!" For a few days, Yang Liang's army has not attacked the city, and the eldest grandson Xingbu is patrolling the city tower.
"My lord, the enemy army suddenly roared and suffered heavy losses, the rebel commander Yang Liang was seriously wounded, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, the rebels have withdrawn from the vicinity of Taiyuan, please decide."
"What! The enemy army had a camp roar, and Yang Liang's life and death were unknown, which was great. We won. When the soldiers and people heard it, they cried, and each pulled the corpses of their relatives out of the city for burial, and the cry reached the ears of the eldest grandson Xingbu, and unconsciously, a few tears also flowed from his eyes.
Yang Liang woke up: "Where am I?" Has Taiyuan City been captured? Xiao Moke stepped forward and persuaded:
"Lord Wang, we are now retreating to Luzhou, and the military doctor has already come just now, saying that you are in a hurry and need to recuperate."
"What! Whoever asked you to withdraw from the army, this king will also enter Taiyuan, and the eldest grandson Xingbu, Dou Luyu, and Huangfu will break the corpses of Wanduan to solve the hatred in the lonely heart. Yang Liang's eyes were full of murder and anger. Ahem! He coughed again with his impatience, and the maid covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and a ray of red appeared on the handkerchief.
"Lord Wang, you can take care."
"If you want the lone king to take care, you should bring their heads to this king, go quickly, pass on the king's military order, and order the states and counties to which the king belongs to quickly assemble the main force and send it to Luzhou, and the king will counterattack Taiyuan."
"Lord Wang, this is too dangerous, if Yang Su waves his army to press over, we will be finished, the last general thinks that it is better to concentrate on defeating Yang Su first and then go straight to Guanzhongγγγγγγ" Xiao Moke also wanted to persuade.
"Needless to say, this king has made up his mind, and if anyone persuades him again, military law will not tolerate it." Xiao Moke still wanted to persuade again, but Wang Jun gently pulled Xiao Moke. And nodded to Yang Liang and replied:
"The ministers receive orders." After speaking, he pulled Xiao Moke and walked out. Xiao Moke took Wang Yan's hand and asked:
"Virtuous nephew, you and I have been friends for many years, don't you know that the prince's decision will put us in a situation from which we will never recover? As courtiers, we should speak up! β
"Hey! Old general, I don't know the consequences of the prince's actions, but don't you see it? The prince has now been carried away by the Taiyuan incident, and we can only calm his emotions first, and then take a step at a time in the future! After speaking, Wang Yan looked into the distance painfully.
