Yang Xuancheng and Yang Wei led hundreds of people to flee all the way north, met the Xie brothers in Anding City, and everyone went north together.

Along the way, Yang Xuancheng was depressed, he had three sons, the eldest son Yang Qiao was killed in the attack on Luoyang in the ninth year of Daye, the third son Yang Feng was lost with his wife on the way to leave Anlu County and flee to Shangluo County, and the second son Yang Qian was unfortunately killed in an ambush. ，

"Third uncle, as long as we live, there is still hope, I think Brother Feng should be fine, where must he be hiding with the third aunt? We will find him later. ”

Although Yang Wei also had the pain of losing his father in his heart, he still endured it and comforted his uncle along the way.

Yang Xuancheng sighed and said: "The Hongnong Yang clan has been destroyed in our generation, I only hope that Yuanqing can re-erect the banner of the Hongnong Yang clan for the sake of my grandfather, and don't let the Hongnong Yang clan die from now on." ”

"Third uncle, don't worry! Yuanqing will not let Hongnong Yang disappear. ”

Yang Wei said seriously: "In the future, he will compete for the world, he also needs a family background, I know him, and the Hongnong Yang family will definitely rise in his hands." ”

Yang Xuan's face finally showed a smile, if this was the case, his father would be able to look at him under Jiuquan.

At this time, there was a sudden cheer in front of him, and Yang Xuanyu and Yang Wei were stunned, what was going on? The two of them urged their horses to rush forward, only to see a cavalry team in the distance, about more than 10,000 people, and the banner of hunting and flying was the Red Eagle Banner, the military flag of Fengzhou.

Yang Wei shouted excitedly, "Third Uncle, it's our army, it's the Red Eagle Banner!" ”

Everyone cheered loudly and rushed forward together, and in a moment, the cavalry team galloped in, led by the general's golden helmet and iron armor, the saddle pierced the sky, and the eyes were cold. Majestic, it is Yang Yuanqing, the lord of Fengzhou.

"It's Yuanqing!"

Yang Xuanxuan also recognized it, and the excitement in his heart made his eyes red, and when Guanzhong was dying and dying, Yang Yuanqing still came.

Xie Sili, Xie Yingdeng and Yang Wei stepped forward to salute Yang Yuanqing, Yang Yuanqing sighed slightly: "I just received the Guanzhong Express, I already know about Chang'an, I rushed all the way south." Still a step slower. ”

Yang Xuanyu stepped forward and choked up: "Yuanqing." If you can come, it will be enough to make your father smile at Jiuquan. ”

"Third uncle, I'm sorry to be late."

Yang Yuanqing said apologetically: "Fengzhou has just finished the war with the Turks. It was also devastating, and I also knew that Guanzhong couldn't hold it, but I didn't expect to lose it so quickly. It was over in three days. ”

Yang Xuanyu gritted his teeth and said: "It's all Yang Xuanjing's dog thief who betrayed the master to seek glory, but he had evil retribution, he was killed by Xie Erlang's arrow, as well as Yang Jun and Yang Rong, they were crazy and betrayed their father, this kind of disloyal and unfilial person, Li Yuan actually used them." ”

Yang Yuanqing sneered, Yang Xuangan would die in the hands of the family sooner or later. As early as more than ten years ago, when he was kicked out of the family, he had this feeling, and today it is true, a family without vision will be eliminated by the times sooner or later.

At this time, Yang Yuanqing found Yang Yu in the crowd, and he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed. "Yang Yuanqing, the governor of Fengzhou, see His Royal Highness the Acting King!"

When Yang Yu saw Yang Yuanqing, he suddenly remembered his father who died early, and thought of his father asking Yang Yuanqing to be lonely, his eyes were red, and he jumped off the horse. Kneel down for Yang Yuanqing on both knees and kowtow. said in a trembling voice: "The second uncle is worshiped by his nephew!" ”

Yang Yu's move frightened everyone, but Yang Yuanqing knew in his heart that he had already kowtowed to himself back then, Yang Yuanqing hurriedly helped him up, "Your Highness, please get up, the minister can't afford it." ”

Yang Yuanqing ordered someone to take a carriage, let Yang Yu get into the carriage, and said with a slight smile: "Does Your Highness want to go to Luoyang, or do you want to go to Jiangdu?" ”

"My nephew doesn't know, everything is arranged by the second uncle."

Yang Yuanqing sighed and said: "I promised your father back then, to ensure the safety of your three brothers, Luoyang was forced by the Wagang army, Wang Shichong was defeated in both battles, making Luoyang a critical situation, and Jiangdu has been isolated from the Central Plains, unless it is by sea boat, but I estimate that it will not last long, I am also worried about the safety of your eldest brother and second brother, for your safety, you first go to Lingwu County or Wuyuan County to live temporarily, and when the world is quiet, I will send you back to the Central Plains." ”

Yang Yu nodded, "My nephew listens to the second uncle's arrangement!" ”

Yang Yuanqing beckoned, and the general Yang Jiachen stepped forward to listen to the order, "Please give instructions from the general manager!" ”

"You lead 5,000 troops to escort His Royal Highness to Jiuyuan County, hand him over to the eldest lady and Mrs. Jiang, and let them take good care of His Highness."

"The last general obeys!"

Yang Yuanqing said to Yang Wei and Yang Xuan again: "Third Uncle and Yang Wei should also go back together!" ”

Yang Xuanyu was stunned, "Yuanqing, aren't you going back?" ”

Yang Yuanqing shook his head and said coldly: "How can there be such a cheap thing in the world, if you don't charge Li Yuan a little interest, will I let him go?" ”

"It's good!"

Yang Xuansheng was strengthened by Yang Yuanqing's courage, and smiled with satisfaction: "I don't advise you either, you should be careful yourself." ”

"Third Uncle take care all the way!"

Yang Yuanqing watched five thousand cavalry escort Yang Yu's carriage gradually moving away, and then smiled at Xie Sili and Xie Yingdeng: "After so many years, it's been hard work. ”

Xie Yingdeng sighed and said: "It's not hard work, it's just that I feel very sad to see Yang Xuan feel that it was so easy to establish a foundation, and finally lose it." ”

Yang Yuanqing comforted him and said: "Li Yuan is the grandson of Li Hu of the Eight Pillars Kingdom, plus he is very good at attracting people, the Guanlong nobles and most of the Guanlong clans will support him, this is the fundamental reason for him to win, he is not representing himself, behind him is the entire Guanlong force, it is reasonable for him to seize Guanzhong." ”

Xie Sili said worriedly: "Li Yuan is powerful, does the chief manager really want to compete with him?" ”

Yang Yuanqing shook his head and smiled: "He is now in his heyday, I only have 5,000 cavalry in my hands, of course he is not his opponent, but he colluded with the Turks, used the Turkic army to contain me, and almost destroyed the entire Fengzhou, I can't help but breathe this evil breath." ”

Yang Yuanqing turned his head and beckoned, and a man came up from behind him, this person was about forty years old, wrapped his head in a turban, wearing a black satin robe, and was not a Fengzhou soldier, he saluted Yang Yuanqing, "See Chief Yang!" ”

Yang Yuanqing introduced to Xie Sili with a smile, "This patriarch of the Liang clan of Lingwu County is named Liang Shizhong, and his younger brother Liang Shi is a henchman of Xue Ju in Longxi. ”

Yang Yuanqing took out another letter and handed it to Xie Sili, "Annoying the envoy Jun will go to Xue Ju's department again for me and give this letter to Xue Ju." Master Liang will go with you. ”

Xie Sili understood what Yang Yuanqing meant, and he took the letter and said, "The humble position will not disappoint the manager. ”

Yang Yuanqing bowed his hand to Liang Shizhong again, "Everything has Mr. Lao." ”

Liang Shizhong hurriedly bowed down and said, "Chief Domeng Yang takes care of my family, and it is appropriate to serve the chief manager. ”

Xie Sili and Liang Shizhong said goodbye to Yang Yuanqing, took a dozen people, and went to Longxi County, Yang Yuanqing arranged everything, and then smiled at everyone: "Now we are in the customs." Congratulations to Li Yuan! ”

There are two roads to enter Guanzhong from the north. One is Xiaoguan Road, which enters Guanzhong by taking the Danzheng Gorge from Pingliang County, and the other is Maling Road. That is, along the Malingshui River valley to the south, these two roads finally merged into one at Jingshui.

However, the terrain of these two roads is rugged, suitable for nomadic cavalry to enter. It is not suitable for the passage of heavy vehicles, and in history, the northern nomadic cavalry has used these two roads to kill in the pass many times.

This time, Yang Yuanqing led 5,000 cavalry to enter Guanzhong from Xiaoguan Road, they used the night march, very hidden, and only three days after the break of Chang'an City, Guanzhong was in chaos, full of bandits who went to surrender to Li Yuan, and the county officials had not yet had time to appoint. The defenders of the passes had fled, and the new defenders had not yet arrived, and no one had noticed this unusual cavalry.

Two days later, in the early morning, Yang Yuanqing led 5,000 cavalry to Sanqiao Town, ten miles west of Chang'an City.

Five thousand cavalrymen lined up on the official road and walked slowly, looking very leisurely, as if the Chang'an garrison had just returned from training, and Chang'an City was three miles ahead. The tall city stands majestically, people come and go around him, Li Yuan and the military and people in Guanzhong have twelve laws, and the military discipline is strict, and the people of Guanzhong do not commit any crimes. Therefore, the pedestrians and merchants who came over did not pay attention to this cavalry, and from time to time there were young children who envied the majesty of this cavalry. Ask the generals for permission to join the army.

At this time, an ox cart slowly came in the distance, and there was an old man sitting in the ox cart, wearing a small black gauze hat, wearing a green robe, with a thin face, although he looked seventy years old, he was in good spirits, his complexion was ruddy, and his body was well maintained.

However, the old man was full of anger at this time, and scolded in a low voice all the way: "What kind of generosity and benevolence, clear narrow-mindedness, remembering old hatreds, is a person who sells his reputation and reputation, and this kind of mind still wants to fight for the world?" Who is the old man, he actually used a doorman to receive him, what Li Shude, Li Shude is almost the same! ”

He was angry all the way, but the ox cart almost collided with the cavalry next to him, shaking him for a moment, and the old man noticed that there was a team of cavalry passing by beside him.

He saw that there were more than 5,000 people in this cavalry, the cavalry was tall, the war horses were strong, the armor was distinct, the bow and knife were sharp, and the team was neat and orderly, showing that the cavalry had extremely high horse control skills, this was a very powerful cavalry, the old man was a little stunned, when did the Central Plains have such a powerful cavalry?

At this time, he found that this cavalry was actually using the red flag of the Sui Dynasty, not Li Yuan's white flag, he was even more puzzled, just at this time, Yang Yuanqing passed by, the old man saw him at a glance, his eyes widened, he rubbed his eyes a little disbelief, it was Yang Yuanqing, the old man was so shocked that he blurted out, "Yang Yuanqing!" ”

Yang Yuanqing looked back and saw him, and he was also stunned, "Old Su Ge!" ”

This old man sitting in the ox cart turned out to be the old Xiangguo Su Wei, Yang Yuanqing was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Yuanqing see Su Ge Lao!" ”

This old man is Su Wei, the famous minister of the Great Sui, he was dismissed by Yang Guang because of the Li Jing case a few years ago, and has been idle at home in Wugong County. He came to Li Yuan to ask for an official, but Li Yuan remembered the old hatred of being demoted to Mayi County, and under the pretext that he had not gotten up yet, he only sent a warrior Tong to join the army to interview him, which made Su Wei deeply humiliated, so he left angrily, but he met Yang Yuanqing's army on the way home.

He was stunned, didn't react for a long time, pointed at Yang Yuanqing and stammered: "Manager Yang, you also surrendered to Li Yuan?" ”
