After Zhang Xutuo died in the battle of Dahai Temple, Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin surrendered to the Wagang army with 500 remnants of the army as a last resort; Luo Shixin fought with his last courage, cleaned up more than 3,000 Zhang Sutuo's defeated troops, and retreated to the Tiger Prison Pass.

On this day, because Yang Guang listened to Yu Shiji's slander, he finally sent a letter to recall Yang Yichen, who had won one after another.

On this day, Lu Sheng, with more than ten guards and Su You's greetings, finally came to Mayi to see Li Jing.

After Li Jing heard the news that Su You wanted to crusade against Goryeo, he was full of praise in his mouth, and he longed to grow a pair of wings to join his army, but when he heard the news of Wagangzhai, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Li Jing has always been a soldier, protecting the foundation of the Great Sui, and when he suddenly heard that Su You rebelled, he still couldn't react.

As for Su You's base in Wagang, Li Jing was even less optimistic, and after thinking for a while, he finally couldn't help but say, "The personnel in Wagang Village are too complicated, and sooner or later there will be chaos"

Lu Sheng naturally felt the same as Li Jing's prophecy, and immediately nodded, "Mr. did not force Juncheng to go to Wagang, but just specially asked the villain to remind him, he must pay attention to Li Yuan and Liu Wuzhou, Sir is worried that they will defect to the Turks and rebel." ”

Li Yuan nodded, didn't say anything more, Lu Sheng's words had been brought, and he said goodbye.

Before leaving, Lu Sheng left Li Yuan with twenty hands/thunder, and told Li Jing the basic usage, Li Jing didn't take these strange/obscene skills seriously, but for Su You's kindness, he still felt five feelings.

After sending Lu Sheng away, when Li Jing turned back to the living room, the red girl had already walked out with a son and a daughter, looked at Lu Sheng who was far away and frowned, "Hengbo is also unwilling to lie dormant, it seems that the world is going to be in chaos."

"The world has already been in chaos, and now this thief" Li Jing shook his head and reached out to pick up his five-year-old son.

"It's different now, it used to be just a small fight among the rioters, but now that Li Mi has gone to Wagang, the nature of this incident is different, I heard that the treasure of Wu'an County Shouyuan is also reversed?" The red-whisked girl was a little worried, she naturally heard Lu Sheng's words of advice to Li Jing just now.

"The Yuan Treasure has been exterminated." Li Jing said with a wry smile.

The uprising of Yuan Bao was like a flash in the pan, and his occupation of Liyang Cang seemed to be just to echo Li Mi's sweep of Xingyang County, and after he was exterminated, his book Zuo Wei Zheng defected to Li Mi.

Since Li Mi killed Zhang Xutuo in Dahai Temple, the power of the Wagang army has expanded rapidly, and the number of troops has reached 600,000 within a few days, becoming the largest rebel army in the Central Plains in one fell swoop.

Because the secret weapon that Li Mi brought from Nanzhong had been exhausted, he could not replicate the successful experience of taking Jindi Pass and taking Tiger Prison Pass again, so the direction of expanding his power could only be to the south or east.

Because of Li Mi's outstanding military achievements, Zhai Rang allowed him to establish an independent system, and Li Mi thus raised the banner of Pushan Gong and established Pushan Gongying. Li Mi thus marched all the way east, and officials from various counties and counties in Henan surrendered to him one after another.

When Dongping County was conquered, Dongping Shuzuo Junyan also surrendered to Li Mi, and at this time, Li Mi's Pushan public camp had 300,000 people, far exceeding Zhai Rang's 200,000 horses.

The so-called one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and the internal war between Li Mi and Zhai Rang is imperative.

At this time, the news that Zhang Xutuo was ambushed and killed by Li Mi in Dahai Temple finally reached Jiangdu.

"Zhang Xutuo sacrificed his life for the country!"

Some of the people who heard the news cried and some laughed; The remaining part was as sweaty and frightened as Yu Shiji.

Yu Shiji was holding the battle report from the front line in a daze, his face was pale, his lips were dry, and the sweat of the size of a bean rolled from his forehead to the corners of his mouth, although it was snowing heavily outside at this time.

When Yu Shiji was at a loss, he suddenly heard someone stepping on the snow outside the house, but he didn't bother to get up and lift the curtain for the visitor.

What a pleasant life is to sit around the fireplace on a winter afternoon?

But now

When he saw that the person who opened the curtain and entered was Pei Yun, Yu Shiji seemed to grasp the straw that saved his life, and he wanted to speak again and again, "Pei Yushi"

Pei Yun's face was no better than Yu Shiji's, obviously he had also heard about Zhang Xutuo's practical training; Although he also had no friendship with Zhang Xutuo, after hearing the news of Zhang Xutuo's death, he was more uncomfortable than his dead father.

"How do you plan to explain to Your Majesty?" Pei Yun pretended to pick up the teacup easily, stared at Yu Shiji and smiled.

"General Zhang is the pillar of the country, he is now sacrificing his life for the country, I am afraid that His Majesty will not be able to withstand this blow" Yu Shiji shook his head, and asked rhetorically, "Or, let's let Yu Wenshu"

Originally, the imperial court had the saying of five nobles, which was equivalent to Yang Guang's cabinet members, but Su Wei was rectified by Pei Yun long before he went down to the Jiangdu; In addition, there are Yuwenshu, Pei Shiju, Pei Yun and Yu Shiji left.

Of course, Yu Shiji didn't dare to pit the people of the Pei family in front of Pei Yun, so the first and only goal he thought of was Yu Wenshu.

Pei Yun shook his head helplessly, sighed and said, "Yuwen Shu is seriously ill and can't get up, this old fox"

Yu Shiji was stunned for a moment, he couldn't imagine that Yuwenshu was cunning and cunning, and he actually withdrew at a critical moment, what else could he do except scold the "old fox" in a low voice with empathy?

Pei Yun looked at Yu Shiji and said again, "The reason why I came to find Yu Shilang is because I want to advance and retreat with you." It seems that Zhang Xutuo's death can't be hidden, otherwise we might not have a long pain as a short pain? ”

Pei Yun obviously wanted to confess to Yang Guang, after all, Zhang Xutuo was one of the top cornerstones of the Great Sui, and Yang Guang had recently asked about him two or three times a day, and he couldn't hide it if he wanted to

What's more, some time ago, Yu Shiji also had an idea of recalling Yang Yichen like Yang Guang?

Without Zhang Xutuo and Yang Yichen rushing to kill in front, the thieves in Hebei will resurge, and the Wagang thieves will kill Jiangdu, which is something that can be imagined for you.

Yu Shiji nodded, and hurriedly said with a smile, "The lower officials all listen to Pei Yushi." ”

The two walked out of Yu Shiji's house together and went to Jiangdu Palace together.

When he arrived at the palace gate, he saw that a general secretary was about to go out, and when he saw the two of them, he immediately greeted them with a smile, "Your Majesty is about to summon two nobles, this is a coincidence." ”

Yu Shiji immediately touched a few gold leaves in the purse in his arms, and while handing them to the Nasheren, he asked with a smile, "I don't know why Your Majesty summoned me to the palace?" ”

The sheren took all the gold leaves as ordered, but shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Pei Yun and Yu Shiji followed behind the Tongshi Sheren, and entered the palace with heavy thoughts, just as they saw Yang Guangrong sitting radiantly behind the dragon case and writing

After Yang Guang heard the footsteps, he was also a little surprised when he saw that it was Pei Yun and Yu Shiji coming, but he still immediately sent down the brush, waved his hand and said, "The two Aiqing came by chance, give me a seat."

Pei Yun and Yu Shiji sat tremblingly, and the former immediately asked with some uneasiness, "I don't know what is the matter with Your Majesty's summoning of us?" ”

Yang Guang nodded, and asked with some urgency, "I'm calculating, there should be news of Zhang Xutuo today, right?" I wonder if the two Aiqing have good news for me today? ”

Yang Guang's question, Pei Yun didn't feel strange, because Zhang Xutuo's news had become his daily problem a few days ago; But now, Pei Yun still doesn't know how to speak.

Yu Shiji left his seat, suddenly fell to his knees, and said sadly, "Your Majesty, General Zhang sacrificed his life for the country." ”

The Great Sui Dynasty has always been reluctant to bow down, and the people who bow down are usually only parents and ancestors, or dead people

But after Yu Shiji knelt down, Pei Yun also silently left his seat, knelt down beside him with a "plop", squeezed a few tears and said, "Please mourn Your Majesty"

Yang Guang looked at the shocking behavior of the two courtiers, and was immediately stunned, and it took a long time before asking, "General Zhang sacrificed his life for the country?" Condolences? Which General Zhang"

After making trouble for a long time, Yang Guang didn't know that the General Zhang in Pei Yunyu Shiji's mouth was Zhang Xutuo, which was also because Zhang Xutuo had won a hundred battles before, and Yang Guang never expected that he would die on the battlefield one day.

Pei Yun listened to Yang Guang's puzzlement, and his heart was even more frightened, but he still cried and said, "Your Majesty, General Zhang Xutuo was ambushed in Dahai Temple when he was killing the Wagang thieves."

Yang Guang heard Pei Yun's words, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, but he couldn't laugh, but stretched out his hand and pointed at him, and shouted hoarsely, "En? You are talking nonsense! Pei Yun, do you know the sin of bullying! ”

Yang Guang couldn't believe such bad news, and he didn't dare to believe it, let alone believe it.

Zhang Xutuo won a hundred battles and led 50,000 elite soldiers to kill more than 100,000 rebellious troops, how could he die?

Pei Yun didn't know how to explain to Yang Guang, so he just hit the carpet with his forehead, and blood flowed out after a while.

Yu Shiji also knew that Pei Yun was using self-harm to escape his sins, but how could he do the same?

Looking at Yang Guang, who had just stood up, and staggered down on the dragon chair, Yu Shiji had no choice but to bite the bullet and cry, "Your Majesty, what Pei Yushi said is true. What Weichen said, there is no lie, Your Majesty is still mourning and changing. ”

Yang Guang listened to Yu Shiji's cry, and was finally forced to accept the facts, and immediately closed his eyes slowly, and two tears slowly slipped from the corners of his eyes

As an emperor, although Yang Guang couldn't help but shed tears in front of his courtiers for the first time, he quickly calmed down and immediately ordered, "Come on, summon Pei Shiju and Yuwen to me!" ”

The eunuchs immediately took the order and left, but after a short while, Wang Yi whispered back to report, "Your Majesty, the scribe Ma Yu and ask to see him outside the palace."

"He's hiding from me, what will he do with me?" Yang Guang frowned, and said dissatisfiedly, but he still nodded and said, "Announce him to admonish!" ”

As soon as Yu Wenshi entered the door of the main hall, he cried and crawled in

Yang Guang didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Yu Wenshi and the gourd, so he immediately endured his depression and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Yu Wenshi finally raised his head slowly, wiped a handful of snot, and said slowly, "Your Majesty, my father Yu Wenshu passed away in a moment."

"What!" Yang Guang looked at Yu Wenshi with some disbelief, and immediately lost his voice.

Pei Yun and Yu Shiji, who were kneeling below, were also stunned, and they didn't know whether they were happy or sad for a while, they had wanted to squeeze out Yuwenshu countless times before, but now it was really not the time for Yuwenshu to die!
