The 19th year of the emperor's reign, April 20.

Yang Guang stood on the five-story deck of the hundred-foot-tall Wuya battleship, which was heading against the wind.

The white flag swept with the wind above Yang Guang's head, hunting sounded, and the river wind blew the white cloak on Yang Guang's body and pumped it on his face. Yang Guangwei, who was dressed in white linen, wore filial piety for his father, and under the blue sky, 100,000 Yangzhou troops set off from Yangzhou and marched in parallel by water. The whole army of Yangzhou Army was dressed in linen and filial piety, and marched towards the Beijing Division, like a white cloud moving.

Yang Guang looked at the vast river, looked at the thousands of sails on the river, and the hundreds of troops on the shore. All the soldiers mourned for the emperor, Yang Guang was heroic for this expedition, he always thought that the emperor and empress valued him more and recognized him more, he always thought that the emperor and empress had always been ready to let him replace Yang Yong to inherit the dynasty. But the damned Yang Xiu actually dared to kill the monarch and his father, and dared to usurp the throne and seize power. And Yang Yong shamelessly dared to succeed to the throne in Taiyuan. No, this empire is his, this world is left to him by the previous emperor, and no one can take it away.

"Jianping, is there any news from Hedong?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the news I got yesterday was that Yang Lin led an army of 200,000 all the way south and had already fallen under the city of Mayi. Du Yan, the governor of Shuozhou in the city of Mayi, closed the city and refused to accept it, and Yang Linbing came to the city, forcibly broke through the pass and captured Mayi, and relieved Du Yan and 10,000 defenders of Mayi from their ordnance. From this point of view, Yang Yong was already suspicious of Yang Lin, and secretly took precautions. And Yang Lin is also at odds with Yang Yong, although Yang Yong was crowned the prince of Yang Lin, but he refused to let Yang Lin lead his troops into the pass, obviously to prevent Yang Lin, Yang Lin forcibly broke through and captured the city. also shows that Xiàn is tough, and it is clear that he is unwilling to join Yang Yong. Chen thinks. After all, His Majesty is Yang Lin's biological father, and his blood is dissolved in water. How can it be better than Yang Yong, the person who murdered his biological mother, Concubine Yuan. What's more, Yang Lin is also a smart person, Yang Yong is just a mediocre person, and if he follows Yang Yong, he will end up defeated sooner or later. And His Majesty is wise and praised by the world, and his support for His Majesty is not a wise choice. ”

These days, Yang Guang has to ask questions about Hedong several times a day, especially about Yang Lin's movements. It's a few questions a day. Even on the march, Yang Guang was the same, and today on the battleship, Yang Guang had already asked for news about Yang Lin for the seventh time. Every time, Zhang Heng tried his best to reply respectfully and seriously, not daring to be impatient, and even had to make some favorable analysis as much as possible every time.

Yang Guang is now a little obsessed with Yang Lin's situation, and if he doesn't get Yang Lin to officially support him for a day, Yang Guang will feel uneasy for a day. I can't eat well and I can't sleep.

Yang Guang is about to go a little crazy, but he doesn't blame Yang Guang for being like this. Yang Lin has two or three hundred thousand soldiers and horses, occupying Youzhou Mansion and the Daibei region, which can be described as a strong army. Especially now that Yang Yong is close to him, if Yang Lin can stand up and firmly support himself. Then Yang Yong will be finished, not to mention competing with himself to seize the key Jingshi. It's hard for him to even leave Taiyuan. With Yang Lin's support, there is no suspense at all in this war for the throne. As soon as his soldiers and horses arrive at Wuguan, I believe that the guards of Guancheng will immediately open and close to greet him. Not in March. He will be able to quell the rebellion of the world. But if Yang Lin refuses to express his attitude, or if Yang Lin simply joins Yang Yong, then there will be a big trouble, although he doesn't believe that Yang Lin will choose to work with Yang Yong in the end. But he couldn't wait for the exact news, and he just couldn't feel at ease.

Thankfully, the information available so far indicates that the prince seems to be leaning more towards them. Although he has not yet responded to the emperor's canonization edict, he has already forcibly broken through the pass and taken Ma Yi, such an act is indeed worthy of their joy, at least this is already a symbol of Yang Yong and Yang Lin's public break, maybe after a while, he will receive an urgent report from Hedong, Yang Lin has sent troops to attack Yanmen Pass.

Yang Guang will definitely be a good emperor, more suitable than Yang Yong and Yang Xiu to inherit the Great Sui, and having Yang Guang to inherit the world will bring sustained prosperity and prosperity to the world. The world needs a capable Son of Heaven, a Son of Heaven like Yang Guang, not a mediocre monarch like Yang Yong, a tyrant like Yang Xiu. And since he chose to support King Jin back then, his fate and the fate of his family have long been bound to King Jin. Yang Guang called the emperor and awarded him the imperial history doctor, once the emperor failed to compete for the throne, although he did not say that the nine clans of Zhulian were killed, the exile of his relatives was inevitable, and the family would also decline.

Back then, the King of Jin asked Yi Feng to return to Yanshan, because Yi Feng had told the King of Jin at that time to let him return to Yanshan, gather and integrate the Yanshan Alliance, and become a force that could play an important role at a critical time. Yang Liang, the king of Han who can keep an eye on the state, is a strange soldier when he is at the critical moment of seizing the throne. Who would have thought that Yang Lin's words at the beginning have now become a fact. Not only has it become a fact, but it is far from being a chess piece to speak of, and he has become a force that no one can ignore. Even in today's chess game, he has become a crucial chess piece, a chess piece that can completely influence the situation in the world.

In Zhang Heng's opinion, it is really unexpected that Yang Lin can come to this point. He can say with certainty that when the King of Jin promised Yang Lin to let him return to Yanshan, he would never have thought that this illegitimate son who had been living among the people for many years, the leader of a pony thief in the green forest, would have such a great influence due to fate. In his opinion, Yang Lin should not hesitate, the three princes who are called emperors, who is strong and who is weak, can be known at a glance, and he is the illegitimate son of King Jin, let alone hesitate. He felt that Yang Lin had made a mistake, made a big mistake, and now his hesitation, his ambiguity, his attitude must have annoyed the emperor. Now the emperor may only be able to keep these grievances in his heart for the sake of victory, but once the emperor quells the rebellion in the future, Yang Lin will definitely have a tragedy at that time.

"Maybe no matter how Yang Lin looks like him, in the end, he will inevitably hide his bow, after all, he is only the emperor's illegitimate son, even if the emperor is willing, Empress Xiao will definitely not want Yang Lin to snatch his son's crown prince." Zhang Heng secretly thought in his heart, it seems that he has to pay attention to it, and he has to keep a little distance from Yang Lin in the future, otherwise, he will definitely be implicated. He supported King Jin all these years. He was already very tired from being involved in this battle for the heir, and he didn't want to succeed after that. Get involved in a war for the prince again.

Hedong, Hedong.

What is the situation in Hedong now? Did Yang Lin fight with Yang Yong?

Yang Guang's mind quickly turned to the Hedong side, and he even felt that it would be better if the Turks had simply defeated Yang Lin at the beginning. At least without Yang Lin's unstable factor, the situation is clearer and clearer, and he doesn't have to worry as much as he does now.

A speedboat rowed quickly from the rear.

"Shengshang, news from Hedong, news from Hedong has arrived." As soon as the people on the speedboat boarded the battleship, the officers who had already received the news could not wait to shout the news loudly to the fifth deck. I don't even care about losing my honor because of this.

"Hurry up and report it. No, I came down myself. When Yang Guang heard the news, his face was excited, he had waited too long.

After a hurried trot, Yang Guang, who couldn't wait, ran directly to the deck on the first floor to listen to the news.

"Report to Your Majesty, the prince has already crossed the Yanmen!" When the messenger saw the emperor coming, he hurriedly knelt down and shouted loudly.

"Yang Lin has already led the army through Yanmen Pass?" Yang Guang's face showed excitement and excitement, and he suddenly felt that a big stone in his chest had hit the ground. The feeling of being relaxed is really indescribably beautiful. "The prince captured Yanmen Pass?"

The messenger suddenly knelt on the ground, "The Yanmen guard will open and close Han Seng Shou." Let the prince enter the customs, and Han Seng Shou and 100,000 Yanmen defenders joined the prince. ”

"Han Seng Shou abandoned the secret and turned to the light? Hahaha! Yang Guang laughed happily, "This Han Seng Shou is also a fierce general." Han Baohu's younger brother, Han Hong's elder brother. The commander of the army has been defeated for many years, which is quite remarkable. At the beginning, I also made many overtures to him, but unfortunately he always refused to pay attention. I never thought that now I was guarding Yanmen Xiongguan, facing the prince, but I surrendered with 100,000 soldiers. Hahaha, but it is not too late to abandon the dark and turn to the light, and it is also a matter of knowing the current affairs. Well, Jianping, how do you say I should reward Han Seng Shou? Yang Guang said to Zhang Heng triumphantly.

The messenger, who was kneeling on the ground, stretched out his hand and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and he was desperate to speak.

"If there is any news, I will reward you with a hundred taels of gold, and I will go down to receive the reward later." Yang Guangfang's way.

"After Han Seng Shou led 100,000 Yanmen defenders to surrender to the prince, the prince led 200,000 soldiers and horses into the pass, and then joined 100,000 Yanmen troops, and Gao Gong took advantage of the situation to march to Taiyuan, and broke through the military towns of Zhuguan Pass along the way"

"Wait!" Yang Guangda shouted, interrupting the messenger's report.

The messenger raised his head and looked at Emperor Yang Guang, whose smile had frozen on his face, in fear.

"Wait, what did you just say, the prince entered the pass and marched to Taiyuan with Gao Gong? Gao Gong, pseudo-phase Gao Gong? It turns out that the left servant of the imperial court shot Gao Gong? ”

The courier chick pecked at the rice and nodded.

"Say, how is Gao Gong in the prince's army?"

It is reported that Gao Gong felt that the puppet emperor Yang Yong was mediocre and incompetent, and the prince Yang Lin was strong and strong, so he thought of retreating, so when the puppet emperor sent Gao Gong to Mayi to reward Yang Lin's soldiers and horses, he conspired with Han Seng Shou at Yanmen Pass, and finally agreed to abandon the puppet emperor Yang Yong and switch to the prince Yang Lin. Therefore, Gao Gong personally went to Ma Yi to see the prince and discuss the matter of surrender, and Han Seng Shou switched to welcome the prince into the customs"

"Wait, wait, stop, the more I listen, the more confused I become." Yang Guang kneaded his temples, "You say, you said that Gao Gong also voted for the crown prince Yang Lin?" ”

"Hui Majesty, exactly."

"Gao Gong also voted for Yang Lin, this is wrong, Gao Gong has always been stubborn, how can he vote for Yang Lin? That's not right. Yang Guang kept chattering, "Then, then, I asked you then!" With his intuition, Yang Guang felt that things were getting more and more wrong, and a terrible feeling rose to his heart.

"Then, the prince and Gao Gong, Han Seng Shou led 300,000 soldiers and horses straight into Taiyuan City, Han Seng Shou's son Han Xiaoji opened the Taiyuan City Gate in the middle of the night to lead the prince's soldiers and horses into the city, Gao Gong alone into the city outside the camp He Ruobi persuaded He Ruobi to press the army still, His Royal Highness the Prince took Taiyuan City without blood, after dawn, the puppet emperor Yang Yong issued an edict to the prince to supervise the regent of the country, and supervise the military inside and outside, and control the soldiers and horses of the world"

Before the messenger finished speaking, Yang Guang had already pulled out the jade head sword with a bang, and chopped off the messenger's head with a fierce sword.

The messenger's headless neck spurted red blood, more than a foot high, and the blood spurted into the sky and then sprinkled like mist, staining Yang Guang, who was standing there with a sword like a sculpture, red. Yang Guang still maintained the posture of waving his sword, and kept shouting in his mouth, "This is impossible, this is impossible, this is all fake, fake, this person is a spy and spy sent by Yang Yong, and he is here to disturb the morale of our army!" ”

The river is choppy, the sails are building, the river wind is blowing, and the blood mist falls on the face and slowly gathers into a stream, flowing into the corners of Yang Guang's mouth, it is so fishy, so astringent, so bitter!

Looking at the turbulent rivers and mountains, thinking of the sudden deterioration of the situation, Yang Guang's heart suddenly felt a violent cramp for no reason. The sword bell in his hand fell on the deck with a bang, Yang Guang pressed his heart tightly with one hand, and held the railing of the battleship with one heart, and his body was stiffened.

Among the people who were still in the shock of the emperor's outburst and murder, Zhang Heng was the first to notice that something was wrong and immediately took a step forward, but he had already seen that the emperor's face was as white as misery, and beads of sweat were dripping from his forehead.

He couldn't help but panic all of a sudden, hugged the emperor, and shouted with a crying voice, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, where is it uncomfortable?" After shouting a few words, Yang Guang didn't respond, and hurriedly roared at the guards behind him: "Don't pass the imperial doctor yet!" ”

Yang Guang clenched his teeth, and finally took a long breath, he struggled hard to stand up, half leaning on Zhang Heng, half leaning on the railing, "I'm fine, I'm fine, I just suddenly feel a little dizzy." Don't panic, make everyone panic, take a Liaodong old mountain ginseng for me, and it will be fine with a little ginseng. ”

Although it was on the march or on the battleship, after Yang Guangyang became emperor, the imperial doctor also appointed a group of people who were proficient in medical skills, and this time the troops were also on the march. A moment later, a group of doctors had already rushed over with their own medicine boxes on their backs.

In addition to the imperial doctor, the ship is also equipped with many precious medicinal materials, including the century-old ginseng of Liaodong that Yang Lin once presented to the emperor, which is extremely precious. The doctor took a ginseng whisker and gave it to Yang Guang, and he didn't even need to prescribe medicine and injection, and Yang Guang felt much better after a while.

"Your Majesty, the minister sent His Majesty back to the cabin to rest, do you want the ship to dock and go ashore to the city to recuperate?" Zhang Heng asked.

"Just go back to the cabin and lie down for a while, don't give the order to stop the army, don't land on the shore, continue to march, I'm fine." Yang Guang gritted his teeth and held on, enduring the colic pain and nausea in his chest and the feeling of dizziness in his brain, at this time, he must not fall. Yang Lin betrayed him, that unreliable illegitimate son, the more this time, the more he needs to compete for time, to attack Guanzhong first, and he must race against time.

Zhang Heng helped Yang Guang back into the cabin, Yang Guang lay on the bed, and pulled Zhang Heng who was about to retreat, "Jianping." ”

"Holy."

"The news of the immediate blockade of Hedong can't be spread, and in addition, the unfeeling of my body can't be spread out, so let everyone continue to march, and we have to speed up and rush to Xiangyang as soon as possible to join the king of Hejian, and we must take the Jingshi before Yang Lin!"

"I understand." Zhang Heng looked at the pale emperor, his heart was heavy. The long-awaited news from Hedong finally came, but it couldn't be believed, and it would be such a result in the end, hey! (To be continued......) R1292
