For Yang Yuhuan, the fate of her life so far only depends on three nights.

The first night was the Mid-Autumn Festival after the performance in the Eastern Capital, she was summoned into the palace by Yang Rui, originally thought that the emperor was moved by her beauty and could accompany the king for a long time, but was sent by Yang Rui to monitor Yang Ping'an.

On the second night, that is, the night of the Horse Mansion, in order to be able to get close to Yang Ping'an justifiably, monitor Yang Ping'an, and complete her task, she skillfully used her sister Xie Aman and Li Dai Taozhuang to deceive Yang Ping'an's remorse and trust.

The third night was last night, when Xie Aman came all the way to find Yang Ping'an with a baby girl in her arms and appeared in front of her, she knew that she was finished, and her life was over.

Because she really fell in love with Yang Ping'an, this relationship is too heavy, and the position of the queen of the world cannot be shaken.

"You go, I don't want to see you again, and don't let me see you in Yangzhou again."

Yang Ping'an easily exposed her lies, and finally dropped this sentence coldly without half emotion, which means that there is no room for maneuver between the two of them, or that Yang Ping'an is a stranger to her.

Since then, one of her hearts has died, and she doesn't know how she left the Taishou Mansion, just walking aimlessly, until she came to the bank of the Yangtze River.

The sun is shining, the sky is blue and the clouds are white, the grass and trees are green and lush, and there is a picture of birds singing and flowers everywhere outside Yangzhou, but such a picture is particularly sour in her heart.

The heart is dead, so what is the use of living?

Tears hazy his eyes, Yang Yuhuan stood on the bank of the Yangtze River, feeling the turbulence of the waves under his feet, and finally looked back at the direction of Yangzhou, and then closed his eyes.

Jump, and everything is over, and there will be no more pain.

Xianggong, if there is an afterlife, I am willing to be a slave and a maid by your side, and never betray again.

It was the last thought in her mind, and then she fell headlong.

A purple figure suddenly appeared, swept over quickly, jumped down and grabbed Yang Yuhuan, slammed on the stone wall with both feet, jumped up and jumped onto the shore.

Yang Yuhuan didn't even get his clothes on the river.

"You, who are you, why did you save me?" Yang Yuhuan cried loudly, death was her last wish, but God couldn't even satisfy her wish, and was rescued at the last moment.

She didn't care who saved herself, what purpose she had, she just wanted to die.

turned around and ran, ready to jump into the river again, but just as she was about to provoke, the voice of the purple-clothed man came from behind her: "If you die like this, you won't get Yang Ping'an's forgiveness, and you will never have a chance to return to Yang Ping'an." ”

With Yang Ping'an's understanding, Yang Yuhuan no longer counted on it at all, because she knew what kind of pain she had brought to Yang Ping'an, and she only said that the daughter born to Xie Aman died because of this, and Yang Ping'an would probably never forgive her.

But the last words of the man in purple made her heart ignite a bubble of hope, and she stopped and turned her head to look at the masked man in purple, her eyes full of doubts.

The man in purple understood her thoughts, and said lightly: "Don't worry, that baby girl is not Yang Ping'an's daughter, when Xie Aman escaped from Nanjing, she was dropped, at that time she only cared about running for her life and had no time to check, now that she is safe, it must be easy to see that the baby girl is not her daughter." ”

"Really, really." The bubble of hope in Yang Yuhuan's heart began to grow, and seeing that the other party did not answer, he knew that he was disdainful of answering his own question, so he immediately asked again: "Engong, you said that I can still return to Xianggong." ”

This is the question she is most concerned about, there is only one person left in her life, if there is no Yang Ping'an, then there is no identity difference between her life and death, and it is even better to die, at least she doesn't have to bear the feeling of being cut like a knife every moment.

The man in purple nodded: "That's right, as long as you listen to me, there is still a future between you and Yang Ping'an, you have been by his side for so long, you should be able to see that he never cares about the status of a wife and concubine, as long as it is his woman, he will take care of it carefully and considerately." ”

"So what should I do?"

"Come with me, and I'll tell you every step of the way, and when the time comes, I'll help you get back to him."

"Wait a minute." Yang Yuhuan suddenly thought of something, "What kind of person are you, what do you want to do to my husband, if you don't make it clear, I will never go with you, I would rather die than be used again to hurt my husband." ”

"Huh." The man in purple smiled, sounding very happy, "Yes, yes, you can say this, it seems that last night's incident touched you a lot, if you could have understood this truth, and honestly make it clear to Yang Ping'an, with his surname, you will never blame you."

It's a pity, it's his fate, and it's a good thing for him to come back to him later, because then you can help him in the future. ”

"Where are you taking me?"

"Eastern Capital."

"Why do you want to go to the Eastern Capital?"

"Because his real battlefield is there."

Yang Ping'an didn't know that anyone would say that his real battlefield was in the Eastern Capital, and in his opinion, it could be his real battlefield anytime and anywhere.

Just like now, not a few days after Xie Aman returned, he received another urgent report, [***] urgent.

[***] There have been heavy troops over there, there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and Xu Yuan, Kong Haoxia, Li Linfu, and An Lushan are all over there, Yang Ping'an once thought that what he needed to worry about was Xue Yufeng, who went to help Hailing, but how did he know that [***] was in an emergency for the second time.

However, the sending of Li Linfu still has an effect in the end, at least he found out that the leading soldier who led the troops to attack [***] was Gao Xianzhi.

If it was Gao Xianzhi, it would be understandable that the situation over there continued to be critical.

Guo Ziyi of Chuzhou made it clear that he would not send troops to rescue [***], Yang Ping'an had to order 5,000 soldiers and horses to go to the rescue in person, and the battle situation of [***] is no longer about the number of soldiers and horses to determine the victory, but the generals' wisdom.

He wasn't sure he would win Gao Xianzhi, but he was the only one left in Yangzhou.

Told Yang Guozhong to close the city gate, guard Yangzhou, not rush to battle, carefully guard against the tricks of the Zhou army, lose the base camp Yangzhou, and then Yang Ping'an led 5,000 cavalry to rush to [***].

Although Yang Guozhong lacked great wisdom, he also knew that Yangzhou was an important surname for Yang Ping'an, and after Yang Ping'an led the troops to leave, he abided by Yang Ping'an's orders, closed the city gate and imposed martial law in the city, and sent a large number of sentry spies to investigate the movements of the surrounding Zhou army, so as to prevent the Zhou army from stealing the city.

The situation was indeed very bad, and it was surrounded by the Zhou army on all sides, which surprised Yang Ping'an, who rushed over from Tianchang.

[***] The defenders were 100,000, An Lushan brought 30,000 from Yangzhou, Li Linfu brought 10,000 from Tianchang, but there were 150,000 soldiers and horses.

According to the intelligence, the Zhou army that attacked [***] was only 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the strength of the two sides was equal, even if the Zhou army was powerful and defeated the Tang army, even if it was 150,000 pigs, it was impossible to kill them all in such a short time.

The Zhou army besieged the city on all sides, with only tens of thousands of people on each side, and the Tang army in the city had to have at least seventy or eighty thousand left, how could they be so willing to be surrounded inside.

Looking at the scene outside Yangzhou City, Yang Ping'an was very distressed, there were too few people he brought, and five thousand soldiers and horses couldn't rush over at all, unless the defenders in the city came out to meet him.

He observed outside the city for three days, and there were no defenders in the city, and the Zhou army did not attack the city, as if the two sides had reached some kind of tacit understanding, you surround yours, I will pass mine, and no one should provoke anyone.

But such a stalemate is extremely unfavorable for the [***] defenders.

The grain in the city is far less than Yangzhou, so many soldiers and horses trapped in the city how long can people eat horses and chew.

Yang Ping'an was anxious in his eyes, but he didn't have the slightest way, he had to be careful to hide the soldiers and horses so as not to be discovered by the Zhou army's outposts.

No matter how carefully you hide it, you will eventually be discovered.

On the fifth day when Yang Ping'an came to [***] outside the city, his 5,000 soldiers and horses were forced into a narrow valley by the Zhou army, and 20,000 Zhou troops were blocked at each end of the valley, and there was no way out.

Originally, Yang Ping'an was leading the soldiers and horses to get rid of the Zhou army chasing behind them, but the Zhou army seemed to have discovered them early in the morning and stationed troops and horses on the route where they might escape.

These soldiers and horses don't need much, as long as there are two or three thousand in each batch to delay them, Yang Ping'an will not fall into this kind of trap, he can only choose the road that is not blocked by the enemy in the shortest possible time, he thought that he could use the valley to ambush the pursuers, but in addition to the valley, seeing the Zhou army waiting outside the valley, Yang Ping'an knew that he had been tricked.

The Zhou army had already chosen this valley, stationed troops and horses at the other end, surrounded him on all sides, deliberately left only one road for him, and forced him into the valley.

Nima, Xu Yuan, Kong Haoxia has also become a pig-like teammate.

Yang Ping'an hated him in his heart, and the Zhou army surrounded him and mobilized fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses, but the Tang army in the city still did not move...... Your sister, can't you see the emptiness of the Zhou army outside the city?

scolded Xu Yuan and his vote, and then Yang Ping'an began to think about countermeasures, and after a night, he was very miserable to find that in the face of a famous general like Guo Ziyi, he had fewer enemies and more enemies, and there was no chance of winning.

The only thing worth being safe is that it is not easy for the Zhou troops at both ends of the valley to attack, because the terrain is narrow, and they cannot use the superior forces to form a formation, which is beneficial to them in a short time.

But after a long time, there is not enough food and grass.

Do you have to admit defeat like this?

Sitting in the big tent, Yang Ping'an couldn't think of a good plan, and at this time, a soldier came to report, saying that Zhou General Gao Xianzhi was outside the valley, and he wanted to see him by name.

This guy wants to see what I'm doing again.

Yang Ping'an actually didn't have too much pressure, even if this battle was really lost, it didn't matter, Gao Xianzhi was his acquaintance, and he would definitely not hurt his surname, but he didn't want to destroy his image as the god of Yangzhou, and he didn't want to sit back and watch his five thousand soldiers and horses die in vain.

Turning over his horse, he was about to lead the troops out of the valley to meet Gao Xianzhi, when Xie Aman, who was dressed as a man, suddenly rushed out of the tent and grabbed his horse's head.

"Aman, what are you doing?"

"Xianggong, take me there, I will go with you, you said, you and I are husband and wife, we can't be together in life, and I am willing to die in the same cave."
