Chapter 54: Pengcheng Mutiny

Han Zhili's face changed greatly, he took two steps back, and said in a trembling voice: "Why did Your Highness say this?" ”

"This is true, why doesn't Han like to hear it?" Yang Yuanqing said coldly.

"But...... But ......" Han Zhili wiped the sweat from his forehead, not knowing what to say, if so, his mission would have failed.

At this time, Yang Yuanqing no longer had the heart to ramble with him, he walked in front of more than a dozen boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and said to Han Zhili: "You take these treasures and beauties back, tell Dou Jiande, since he wants to play chess in the world, then take out a little courage to play chess, don't use these childish things to coax me, if he wants Hebei, just defeat me, if he doesn't have the guts, then please withdraw from Hebei by himself, the world is the world, only the strong can live, I, Yang Yuanqing, can I Yang Yuanqing be sent away with a few boxes of jewelry and a few women?" ”

Han Zhili was full of shame, bowed down, and retreated, and the gold, silver, jewelry, and girl were also brought back by him.

At this time, Pei Qingsong stepped forward and said with a smile: "The manager can actually accept these gifts and deceive Dou Jiande, making him think that the manager really has a heart of reconciliation." ”

Yang Yuanqing glanced at him and said coldly: "Then you are too naΓ―ve, who is Dou Jiande, do you think he really thinks that I will reconcile with him?" He is just a delaying tactic, he wants to concentrate the army of Hebei, and then fight me to the death. ”

Pei Qingsong felt the displeasure in the manager's heart, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, Yang Yuanqing ignored him, he stared out the window with his hands behind his back, and said to himself, "Yu Wenhua actually gave Dou Jiande such a generous gift, this is interesting." ”……

In Qi County, Pengcheng County, Yu Wenhua's 100,000 troops were stationed here, while Li Mi's 150,000 troops were stationed in Fuli County in the north, and the two armies had been facing each other across the Tongji Canal for a whole winter.

Yu Wenhua's 100,000 troops were stationed outside the county, and the civil and military officials and puppet emperors and thousands of palace eunuchs lived in the county. Every morning he would hold a morning pilgrimage here, and even if there was nothing to do, he would stay here for an hour, and he would enjoy it every day.

Yu Wenhua also had the idea of taking Yang Guang's palace concubines and concubines for himself, and he even hit the idea of Empress Dowager Xiao, but his advisor Liu Qing repeatedly persuaded him that Xiao was the Empress of the Great Sui after all, and had a high status in the hearts of the army and hundreds of officials. If he dares to move. I am afraid that the soldier will be ashamed and will rebel, or he will be turned away, and he will have no troops to use. This sentence pierced Yu Wenhua's heart, and what he was most afraid of was losing the army, and he was even more afraid of the rebellion. Yu Wenhua had to hold back the evil thoughts in his heart and found a few young palace concubines to sleep with.

On the morning of this day, Yu Wenhua went into the city to attend the court meeting as usual, and not long after he left, more than a dozen generals quietly gathered in the big tent of the rear military camp of Sima Dejiao, the deputy commander of Xiaoguo.

In the big tent, Sima Dejiao said to everyone: "I just got a piece of news that Yang Yuanqing has captured Youzhou and defeated Dou Jiande's 100,000 troops in Zhuo County, and it is only a matter of time before Yang Yuanqing swept Hebei. He is standing in support of Sui, we killed Yang Guang, he will definitely not let us go, I will kill us to buy the heart of the world, and our Yuwen Gong is incompetent, greedy for money and lustful, how can he be Yang Yuanqing's opponent. will inevitably fail miserably in the hands of Yang Yuanqing, we can't rely on this person, think about it, what other way out do we have? ”

More than a dozen generals in the tent were all confidants of Sima Dejiao and directly participated in the palace rebellion. They had their share in forcing Yang Guang to death, and everyone was very frightened. Talking, some people want to surrender Li Mi, some people say they want to surrender Du Fuwei, and some people want to surrender Wang Shichong.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

Adjutant General Zhao Xingshu shouted loudly, he knew that Sima Dejiao must have already had a plan, so he gathered everyone, and he said to Sima Deshu: "Please tell us the general!" What are we going to do? ”

Sima Dejiao nodded, and said to everyone: "If we surrender to anyone now, they will use us to curry favor with Yang Yuanqing, our only way to survive is to hide incognito, hide somewhere in Jiangnan or Lingnan, live the life of a rich man, and enjoy the rest of your life, what do you think?" ”

Everyone nodded one after another, this is indeed a good plan, everyone is licking blood on the head of the knife to make a living, in order to get promoted and make a fortune, since there is no hope of promotion, it is not bad to make a fortune to be a rich man, but how to make a fortune, this is the key issue, everyone looked at Sima Dejiao together, and their eyes showed a look of expectation.

Sima Dejiao saw that everyone was moved by his own words, so he lowered his voice and said: "I think everyone should have a number, Yu Wenhua and the treasures transported from the big ship filled hundreds of ox carts, all hidden in Qi County, and were swallowed by Yu Wenhua and a person, I think at least half of this should belong to us, I mean to take back the treasures that belong to us, everyone makes a fortune and then we each find a way out, with these treasures and money in hand, the rest of our lives are enough to enjoy the glory and wealth, everyone says what, do not do it!" ”

"!"

Everyone shouted in unison, their eyes showed excitement and excitement, and Sima Dejiao hurriedly said, "Shhh With a voice, he said in a low voice: "I have already planned, tonight we will lead the troops out, attack Qi County from the West Gate, and rob the treasure palace maid, and then the West Gate will quickly retreat, find a place to divide the money and women, and we will break up." ”

Everyone was very excited, eager to try, Sima Dejiao found more than a dozen large bowls, poured full of wine, each of them cut their index fingers, each bowl dripped a little blood, everyone picked up the bowl and drank it all, and smashed the bowl to pieces......

All the generals returned with their own dreams of making a fortune, leaving Sima Dejiao and Zhao Xingshu to continue to discuss the details, and the air in the camp began to become a little tense.

Among the more than a dozen generals who participated in the discussion, Yuwen Mentor is a relatively junior one, although he is also surnamed Yuwen, but he has nothing to do with Yu Wenhua, he is just a descendant of a general of Yuwentai, he returned to his camp tent worriedly, sat in the camp tent for a while, and finally he gritted his teeth, called a henchman soldier, and whispered a few words to him.

The soldier nodded, quietly left the camp tent, and went to the Chinese army tent in the front camp, in the side tent of the Chinese army, Liu Qing was correcting the music for Yu Wenhua, Yu Wenhua and as the prime minister of state for Shang Shuling, he would only listen to the affairs of the court, and would not express his opinions, and finally took the song back to his staff Liu Qing for approval.

In the partial tent, except for Liu Qing. There is also Yu Wenhua's second brother Yu Wenshi and, he was named the inner history of the elder brother, but in fact he had nothing to do all day, he was in a very bad mood during this time, since Yu Wenhua and the murder of the king, his wife Princess Nanyang began to alienate him, and he didn't even see him for a whole winter. His son, Zen Master Yuwen, was also with his mother. Ignoring him, this made Yu Wenshiji's mood extremely distressed, and he had a good relationship with Liu Qing. Talk to him from time to time.

"Today, there is news that Yang Yuanqing has broken through Youzhou, and Dou Jiande has been defeated in Zhuoxian. Brother Liu, this news is very unfavorable! ”

Liu Qing put down his pen and smiled slightly: "Are you talking about the alliance between the lord and Dou Jiande?" ”

Yu Wenshi nodded, sighed and said: "Originally, Dou Jiande had an ambiguous attitude, saying that he could discuss, but he didn't explicitly agree, now that he was defeated in Zhuo County, it is difficult to protect himself, and it is impossible to send troops to help us, and now he sees spring." The decisive battle with Li Mi is coming, our morale is low, will we really be Li Mi's opponents? ”

Liu Qing groaned and said: "I persuaded the lord to retreat a hundred miles south yesterday, and try to delay the decisive battle with Li Mi, as long as it is delayed for another month, our opportunity will come." ”

"Why?" Yu Wenshi asked puzzled.

Liu Qing picked up the teacup and squinted and smiled: "Brother Shi Ji thinks that Dou Jiande is defeated by Yang Yuanqing, where will he retreat?" ”

Yu Wenshi frowned. He was just about to speak, when a soldier reported outside the tent door, "Mr. Qiyu, General Yuwen Mentor sent his own soldiers to say that there is urgent information. ”

"Let him in!"

Moment. Tutor Yuwen's personal soldiers walked into the big tent and knelt down on one knee to report: "My general asked me to report to Mr. Sima Dejiao is going to launch a rebellion tonight, attack the Qixian Palace, and rob the jewels and palace maids, and they have already discussed and decided. ”

This unexpected news surprised Liu Qing and Yu Wenshi at the same time, and Liu Qing hurriedly asked, "When did this happen?" ”

"Just now, the general of my family just returned from discussion, and they all said that they were all Yuwen families, and they couldn't bear to betray the lord, the situation was very urgent, please decide as soon as possible."

Liu Qing nodded, "I know, you go back first, please tell General Yuwen, I will definitely tell the lord about his loyalty, and I will not treat him badly." ”

The soldiers saluted and retreated, and Yu Wenshi frowned, "Brother Liu, do you think this is true?" ”

"I think it should be true, Sima Dejiao originally rebelled for profit, and now he can't get any benefits, the resentment in his heart can be imagined, I persuaded the lord to seize his military power, but the lord hesitated, and now the disaster has come out."

Liu Qing hated iron and steel in his heart, stood up and said: "I will go into the city immediately to report to the lord, and talk to Shi and my brother in detail another day." ”

Liu Qing left in a hurry, Yu Wenshi sighed, in fact, he wanted to go to Tang, with his relationship with Li Yuan, Li Yuan would never treat him badly, but he couldn't leave his wife and children, and he was extremely conflicted in his heart......

"What?"

Yu Wenhua jumped up and said angrily: "I treat him as a confidant, he dares to take my property, is he impatient?" ”

Liu Qing hurriedly persuaded: "The lord is angry, please listen to the words of the humble position." ”

Yu Wenhua slowly sat down, held back his breath and said, "You say, what's the matter?" ”

"I want to say that I can take this opportunity to wipe out Sima Deji's henchmen."

"I don't need you to say this, I wanted to kill him a long time ago, but Zhiji always interceded for him......"

Speaking of this, Yu Wenhuaji's brows suddenly furrowed, he remembered that his brother Yu Wenzhi and Sima Dejiao had a very good relationship, and this matter wouldn't have anything to do with his brother, right?

Liu Qing understood his thoughts, and said in a low voice: "It's hard to say whether the third prince is involved or not, if the lord is not at ease, the third prince can be imprisoned first, and the lord can hand over this matter to the humble position, I only need to use a little trick to wipe them out." ”

Yu Wenhua was originally a person who had no opinions, as soon as Liu Qing said this, he immediately took out his gold medal for troop transfer and handed it to him, "Everything is Mr. Lao!" ”
