Chapter 43: The Beginning of the Turmoil (3)
It is said that after Yang Liang received an edict from Emperor Wen to summon him to Beijing more than ten days ago, he summoned his cronies to discuss:
"Everyone, my father ordered someone to issue an edict to summon this king to Beijing for a reunion, so I summoned you all over and discussed, do you think this king's entry into Beijing is a blessing or a curse?"
"Lord, you are the emperor's own flesh and blood, now the emperor is old, and he has experienced the death of the queen, the prince was deposed and other things, and needs the comfort of relatives, so I think the prince doesn't have to think so much!" Speaking is the governor of the state Sima Huangfu birthday, he is today's celebrity, in the Northern Zhou Dynasty there is a wise in the world, Emperor Wen after the Zen and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, once served as the imperial history of the official, repeatedly on the issue of the country's displaced people, and the country's magnates violated the law, by some illegal officials called cool officials, the children of the family bureaucrats are very jealous of him. When Yang Liang, the king of Han, was just appointed as the governor of Bingzhou, Emperor Wen chose a famous teacher for him, selected him, and ordered the king of Han to pay a disciple salute to him. Therefore, Huangfu Dan has always regarded himself as the teacher of the Han King, and the Han King is very disgusted with him, but his reputation is outside, and he handles local government affairs and Xing Prison money and food in an orderly manner, and Yang Liang has to discuss some things with him. But there are still two words of disgust written on his face.
"What do you think about the rest of you?" Yang asked the others unhappily. Rest of you here, you look at me, I'll look at you. After talking about it for a long time, it was Yang Liang's closest subordinate Wang Xianqi who stepped forward to persuade Yang Liang.
"Lord Wang, a few of us discussed it together, and I think that Lord Huangfu is reasonable, and there are 。。。。。" Wang Xianqi paused deliberately, Yang Liang understood what he meant, and let him murmur in his ear: "Lord Wang, I feel that the prince entered Beijing this time just to play the family card for the saint, and the prince happened to have the advantage of the location by the emperor's side, so Yang Guang must not be allowed to take advantage of it." Yang Liang nodded after hearing this. Then he ordered to pack up, arrange his entourage, and purchase birthday gifts. He also ordered that during his absence, the civil logistics would be handled by the emperor, and the generals in the military camp would negotiate and solve it on their own. All the subordinate officials leaned over to receive the order.
Yang Liang led his entourage all the way to Tongguan. When he was about to enter the customs, Yang Liang felt very tired, and when he saw it, he said to his subordinates: "Let's rest for a while!" The people below are all very good at observing words and feelings, and a clever one said to Yang Liang:
"Lord Wang, I saw a restaurant in front of me, why don't you go in and sit down?" Yang Liang nodded with satisfaction. When the group came to the restaurant, the bartender saw so many people and hurriedly greeted them.
"A few guest officers, please inside. I don't know what to use! Yang Liang has been a prince and commander for many years, and he has developed the habit of being condescending, and he doesn't care about those little people, so he ignored him and walked directly inside, and the attendant behind him said to the bartender:
"Give our son-in-law the best wine and food, arrange the most quiet and elegant box, and call two little ladies who sing songs to entertain our son-in-law.
"Yes! The little one understands! We have the northwest Lie just shipped from Longxi, that taste, you still want to drink after you drink it. In addition, there are two little girls singing songs downstairs in our shop, which are very pure, and Bao Ye is satisfied。。。。。。 Before he finished speaking, Yang Liang's entourage looked at his face with an impatient look, and directly pushed the bartender: "You're fucking endless, don't hurry up, our master is impatient." The bartender rubbed his buttocks, nodded and went to get busy, and after a while, two handsome singers and a table of wine and food were served, Yang Liang tasted the wine, ate the dishes, and listened to the song; Although this kind of rural wilderness is not on the table of the official court, Yang Liang is now like a person who is tired of eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and suddenly eats some wild vegetables and vegetarian food, which has a different taste. While he was eating happily, he heard outside the door:
"Boss, hurry up and serve wine and food, uncle, we are already very hungry and tired when we deliver the imperial court military report, hurry up!"
"Hey! It's coming, and it's going to be good right away! The bartender and the shopkeeper immediately greeted the official errand, and the other guests hurriedly checked out and left.
"Hey! I said, what the hell are the princes and princes of the emperor, they are born as phoenixes and dragon grandchildren, eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, live in thousands of mansions, wear silk and satin, and sleep like peerless beauties. Hey! I'm fucking full and have nothing to do, and I'm going to rebel, damn it, I have to blame for finding out early. What is the name of Changning Wang Yang Yan, fucking going to murder Qincha, but he was killed by someone else first, and the one called Yang Yun locked himself up, and wanted to enter Beijing to ask for guilt, but he was also killed on the way, fucking blessed and don't know how to enjoy, live and suffer! When Yang Liang heard this, he ran downstairs directly, grabbed the one who spoke and asked:
"What did you just say, tell me again. Hurry up! The man was so uncomfortable that he was caught, "You let go, fucking let go." When the tolerance who was with him saw it, he directly pulled out his knife and was about to cut people, but Yang Liang's entourage stopped them and slapped them directly.
"Bastard, in front of you is His Royal Highness the King of Han, you dare to draw a knife against His Royal Highness the King of Han, I don't want to live anymore." Yang Liang's entourage hurried in front of Yang Liang and shouted loudly at the tolerance. When the tolerance heard this, they hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed. Yang Liangli ignored them, but still grabbed the man and asked:
"Say! Say what you said again, say it quickly! That tolerance was held by Yang Liang by the collar, and his neck was about to die. Yang Liang's face was as blue as the King of Yama. "Tell me quickly, tell me quickly!" The attendant reminded him, "Lord Wang, his neck is about to break!" When Yang Liang heard this, he threw him to the ground, and the man fell to the ground, not daring to reply, and repeated what he had just said, Yang Liang shouted badly. immediately asked the entourage to go back to the state together, and did not return to Beijing. After returning to Bingzhou, Yang Liang secretly instructed Wang Xianqi and Zheng Gang, and immediately summoned his subordinates:
"Ladies and gentlemen, for the sake of his crown princeship, Yang Guang disregarded brotherhood, colluded with Yang Su and did not hesitate to frame the king, and after the queen was cut off, he would force his father to abdicate. Can you advance and retreat with this king, and share the glory with you after the success of the great cause? When everyone heard this, they were all surprised. Huangfu first said:
"The prince must not be like this, I think that the prince only needs to enter Beijing again to explain to the saint, the saint is your father, and he has always been discerning, and he will not punish you for your sins because of some gossip。。。。。。" Yang Liang was tired of his clichés, and drank directly:
"Someone! Escort this traitor who disturbs the morale of the army to this king, and on the day this king sends his troops, he will use your head to sacrifice the flag! As soon as Yang Liang's words fell, Zheng Gang and Wang Xianqi walked in with a large number of guards, grabbed Huangfu Dan and dragged him out, and Huang Fu was still shouting when he left:
"Lord, don't do such a rebellious thing! I'm sure I'll be ruined! Rajah. Rajah...... After his voice was inaudible, Yang Liang asked the others.
"Alright, what about the rest of you?" Who else would dare to express their objections! Wang Fei has just come to the Han Palace, and he has just returned to the Taiyuan Wang family, so he has always wanted to show his talent in front of Yang Liang and consolidate his family status.
"Lord, since the Holy Lord has passed down the message, it must be something that has happened in the capital, and the prince should immediately raise troops to serve the king and protect the emperor's left and right, so as to be the righteousness of the son of man!"
"General Xiao, what is your opinion?" Yang Liang asked his most important general, Xiao Moke. "Lord Wang, everything will be arranged by the prince."
"Good! There is a letter of alliance here, if you are willing to follow the side of this king Qingjun, stabilize the society, care for the people, and settle the people, you will sign your name, if you don't want to, this prince will never force it. The door is there, and you can go out by yourselves. "The hearts of all the people present beat their hearts, and they understood that they were now on the thief ship and could not get off. Therefore, they all signed their names on the covenant and knelt in front of Yang Liang to pay their allegiance to Yang Liang:
"We are willing to advance and retreat with the prince, and we have no two hearts."
"Okay, blood wine! We swear to heaven! Yang Liang's guards took dozens of bowls of liquor, cut off the head of a rooster, and poured chicken blood into the wine. Yang Liang picked up a bowl and shouted to the sky:
"My Great Sui Emperor Han King Yang Liang this time is not because of the power of the lord Lu to raise troops, but because the second Yang Guang bullied his parents and harmed his brothers, and now he will be elected by the public, if he can take Yang Guang's place, he is willing to share wealth with all civil and military forces, if he violates this oath, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed." After speaking, he smashed the bowl after drinking the wine, and the other civil and military officials also followed his example and smashed the bowl.
"This king will now appoint Xiao Moke as the left forward general, Yu Gongli as the right forward general, all military deployments are decided by you, Wang Xianqi, you are the general staff of the army, Zheng Gang, you are the commander of the Chinese army. In addition, Taiyuan is the top priority of our border defense, General Changsun Xingbu, Taiyuan's military defense nine hands over to you. ”
"Obedience. In addition, I want to ask for a favor for Lord Huangfu, the army is about to start, and it is unlucky to kill my own people first! The other generals and subordinates also respected Huangfu's birthday, and knelt down in front of Yang Liang to intercede for him. Because the army was about to start, Yang Liang didn't want to affect the morale of his subordinate generals because of this trivial matter, so he got off the donkey. let his own soldiers put Huangfu in prison. He also issued an order to order his subordinate soldiers and horses to stay in Yanmen, Daijun, Shuofang and other places to defend the city, and other armies to come and assemble in the state within ten days, and there must be no mistake. As soon as the generals heard this military order, they were very tempted to tell the king of Han that his troops were empty, and that as soon as the Turks invaded, the people would be in danger. But when they saw the fate of the emperor's birthday, they all shut up. Wang Fei also offered advice to the king of Han:
"Lord Wang, now the families of the main army under your command are all in the Kansai area, so using them to fight the vanguard is bound to be overwhelming, and if you want to occupy half of the Kanto region, you have to use the Kanto people. They are all related to the Kanto clan, and they can get twice the result with half the effort! ”
"No, we should concentrate our superior forces to attack on all fronts now, how can we divide our troops?" Wang Jun bowed his head and was silent. Pei Wen'an, a soldier of the governor's office, joined the army, and offered advice to the king of Han:
"Lord Wang! The area west of Jingcheng is completely under the control of the prince, and most of the troops in the eastern part of the former Northern Qi are the old troops of the prince, so they should send people to contact them for comprehensive mobilization, expand the influence of the land, and send the old and weak soldiers to garrison the pass to ensure the supply of military supplies. Then lead the elite and directly attack Pujin Pass, I am willing to be the vanguard officer to open the way for the prince, the prince led the main force to continue to advance, lightning attack, advance to the east of Bashang, Xianyang. When you get there, the Jingshi is shaken, and you can have a showdown with the imperial court. Yang Liang praised the good plan and implemented it immediately. The general Yu Gongli was sent from Taigu to Heyang, the general Qiliang was sent from Pukou to Liyang, and the general Liu Jian was sent to Jingcheng to threaten the Yanzhao region. Zhuguo Qiao Zhongkui set off from Yanmen. Promoted to Pei Wen'an Committee Zhuguo, and led the army with Qi Dangui, Wang Dan, and Qi Qi Tianbao to attack the Beijing Division. There was still a hundred miles left from Pujin Pass, but an incident blocked the progress of the army, and it also ushered in a turning point for Yang Guang's victory.
