Chapter 479: Raising Troops to Rebel

(Thank you very much for your support, Mouse Love, Eternal Dreams, 1st Guards Tank Brigade, Profyellow, Olytis!) )

At the beginning of April of the 19th year of the opening of the Great Sui Dynasty, under Huaihuang City, Yi Feng led 70,000 Turkic troops and 30,000 Han troops who surrendered out of the fortress, and formed a counter-encirclement with the soldiers and horses in Huaihuang City against the Nili Department. More than 100,000 soldiers and horses outflanked the less than 50,000 Nili troops, and the dense army set up camp one after another. And around Nili, there are dozens of military forts on Huaihuang, and he has been completely encircled.

And at this time, Yi Feng suddenly received an urgent report from Youzhou City, and the Great Sui Emperor had died.

After receiving this news, Yi Feng was extremely shocked.

In the large camp of the Chinese army, Yi Feng convened a high-level meeting, which was attended by generals of all armies and battalions, as well as civilian officials above the seventh grade. The atmosphere in the military tent was very depressing, and everyone was silent, as if they were still digesting this unbelievable fact. The information is an urgent letter from the flying pigeon sent back by the special science and technology Daxing Department, and the letter is sent back to Youzhou by the flying pigeon, and then sent from Youzhou to Huaihuang. Tekko's intelligence-gathering ability was very strong, and just two days earlier, on the last day of March, when Yi Feng launched the final assault on Kuhezhenbu in Yanzhou, something even bigger had happened in Jingshi.

The branch of the Tekejing Division sent back a hundred thousand urgent secret letters, and the emperor died suddenly that night.

And then this is not the most shocking, the most shocking thing is that after the emperor died, Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, urgently summoned hundreds of officials to enter the palace, and then announced the emperor's edict to the hundred officials. In his edict, the emperor decreed the abolition of Yang Yong's position as the crown prince, and at the same time abolished Yang Lin's position as the grandson, and the emperor renamed Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, as the crown prince in the edict. The edict was succeeded by the new crown prince Yang Xiu.

No one thought that such a thing would happen, the emperor died too suddenly, and the emperor's edict became more and more unbelievable, and Yang Yong and Yang Lin were suddenly abolished without the slightest warning, and then Yang Guang was not established. But Yang Xiu was appointed as the new prince. If the emperor is still alive, then although this change of prince is a little incomprehensible, after all, it can be reluctantly accepted, but now the emperor died suddenly, and then there was such an edict, who can believe it?

Hundred officials were skeptical.

can face the doubts of hundreds of officials. Yang Xiu had already expected it, he sent troops to blockade the palace, pretending to be the emperor's edict, and sent people to change the deployment of the guards of the Beijing division, and took over the defense of the palace and the Beijing division. And leave the hundred officials in the palace.

On the first day of the fourth month, Yang Xiu Chen Bing gathered a crowd and issued a murderous letter of the emperor's death, mourning for the Daxing Emperor, and at the same time taking the emperor's throne. On the same day, Yang Xiuzun Queen Dugu was the queen mother, the daughter of the eldest grandson Lan was canonized as the queen, and the concubine Yang Ming was canonized as the crown prince. At the same time, Yang Yong was renamed the acting king. Yang Lin was the king of Zhao, and summoned the second king of Zhao and the king of Jin to return to Beijing.

Teko was well-informed, and only a day later. The great changes in the capital division of Daxing had already been passed into the hands of Yi Feng, and at this time, the envoy sent by Yang Liang had not yet left the customs.

After the news was reported to Zhu Wenwu, everyone's first reaction was impossible, and the second reaction was that it was absolutely impossible. All people can't accept the fact that the emperor, who had just turned sixty, died suddenly and violently without warning, and when the emperor was dying, he actually abolished the crown prince and grandson and renamed the king of Shu as the crown prince. What's the joke about?

Huangfu was the first to speak, "Why was the King of Shu in Beijing at that time?" "This old minister. It was originally an auxiliary minister selected by the emperor to Yang Liang, but unfortunately Yang Liang never listened to his teachings. After the Taiyuan Change, he followed Yi Feng's side and relied on him a lot, and now he is very dutiful and considerate of Yi Feng.

Instead of Yi Feng, it was Li Mi who answered, and after receiving this shocking letter, he immediately made a lot of preparations, and found a lot of useful information from the information reported by the intelligence department during this time. According to intelligence, Emperor Daxing Zhao Shu King entered Beijing a few days ago, according to intelligence, Emperor Daxing Zhao Shu King entered Beijing to let the King of Shu feudal southeast, build the Ryukyu Kingdom on the Ryukyu Island in the sea east of Fuzhou, and change the title of King Shu to the King of the Ryukyus, and then the imperial court removed the Qinzhou Governor's Office, and set up the Longyou Province in Longyou, and sent the political envoy, the criminal envoy and the commander to take charge of the civil affairs, justice and soldiers and horses of the Longyou Province, and to rule the Longyou states. Then, the sudden death of Emperor Daxing immediately occurred, and the edict of King Yi Shu was the crown prince to inherit the throne. ”

"This is an edict!" The grandson washed the horse Li Gang and immediately shouted loudly, "The king of Shu plotted against the king and usurped the throne, Your Highness, please ask Your Highness to mourn immediately, let the three armies take filial piety and clothe linen, and raise troops to kill Yang Xiu's traitor!" ”

Accidents are always everywhere, Yi Feng thought to himself, kneading his temples. Who would have thought that the crown prince and the king of Jin fought fiercely, and occasionally the king of Han was mixed in it, and then counting him, the imperial grandson, everyone thought that this was complicated enough. Finally, King Han was out, and at this time, no one could have imagined that the King of Shu suddenly jumped out, and then he was so bold and crazy.

Kill the king and seize the throne.

What a bold guy, Yi Feng can only give such an evaluation of Yang Xiu's crazy move. Bold, and stupid. Even if he took advantage of an empty opportunity, succeeded in killing the king, and controlled Jingshi, he didn't have the slightest chance of winning, and Yang Xiu was killing himself. Yang Xiu has been stationed in Shuzhong since the founding of the country, and he has been gone for nearly 20 years, and he may have managed a lot of forces in Shuzhong, but in Gyeonggi, it is not enough to see at all. This time, it was just because the soldiers and horses in the DPRK and China were all outside, and the prince, Jin, king, grandson, and prime ministers and generals were basically outside, so he had such a chance.

Yang Xiu killed himself, and Lou Yifeng didn't care or care, but his crazy behavior had completely disrupted the current situation.

Anyway, the emperor died.

"Your Highness, we should now immediately send troops south to fight the rebellion." Yang Xiong also spoke on the side. As a very powerful person in the clan, after he was shocked, he had already begun to quickly think about the current situation. Undoubtedly, the emperor's death and deathbed edict are full of doubts, and Yang Xiu will not be able to sit in that position at all even if he is called emperor. Next, it must be the kings who raise their troops and return to Beijing, and a real battle begins, and whoever is strong will be the winner. Without the intervention of the emperor, it was all up to their respective strengths. In Yang Xiong's opinion, there is no doubt that the crown prince and grandson are stronger. King Jin had always had a big win, and that was because the emperor and his wife were inclined to him, but now that the emperor is dead and the empress is accused of being at the hands of Yang Xiu, her opinion is no longer important. Now, it's up to you to see who is strong.

The prince and Gao Gong hold the middle route army, with 250,000 soldiers and horses, although Taisun's East Route Army does not have many soldiers and horses, but Yang Xiong is very clear about the strength in the hands of Taisun now, hundreds of thousands of Huaihuang army, plus tens of thousands of Youzhou army, and now the newly surrendered 70,000 Turkic army, Taisun's hands are no less than 200,000 soldiers and horses. If the crown prince and the grandson join forces, then the king of Jin is not an opponent at all, and Yang Xiu is not an opponent. After calculating the gains and losses, Yang Xiong already knew which side he should stand on.

Yi Feng was also thinking about the situation in front of him, how he should decide. Do you want to unite the crown prince?

"Yang Xiu is a monarch killer, everyone will be punished, please ask Mr. Xue to write an article to reveal Yang Xiu's crime of killing the monarch and usurping the throne to the world, so that the world can discuss it." No matter what decision you make, there is no doubt about one thing, and that is to deny Yang Xiu. Regardless of whether Yang Xiu killed the monarch or not, whether there is evidence or not, these are not important, the important thing is that Yang Xiu must be denied as soon as possible.

"Do you want to send a mourning to the whole army at once?" Liu Wenjing asked.

Yi Feng groaned, and finally shook his head, "No, don't mourn for the time being, wait for the envoy of the Jingshi to come and inform you, and then we will take the mud profit first." ”

At this time, Yi Feng still had to deal with the Nili Army, which surprised everyone. However, Yi Feng felt that there was nothing wrong with this, the crusade against Yang Xiu was not in a hurry, and he had to make comprehensive arrangements, and now that Nili had been surrounded by him, it would be halfway to let go at this time. When it comes to the meat of the mouth, how can you just give it up, and once the news of the emperor's great trip is announced, maybe the morale of the army will drop greatly, and Nili may resist again after discovering it. What he wants is the momentum he has now, to force Niri to surrender. For this reason, he is willing to offer some preferential conditions to Nili.

Yi Feng personally set the conditions for surrender, and asked Liu Wenjing to take Nili's brother Poshi to surrender.

The generals withdrew, and Yi Feng was alone thinking about the situation in front of him, how should he take the next step?

As Yang Xiong said, if he joined forces with Yang Yong at this time, then the two of them had nearly 500,000 troops, and no one could stop them. Whether it is Yang Xiu or Yang Guang, they can't stop this huge force. But there is also a problem, does he want to single-handedly send Yang Yong to the throne of the emperor? If he helped Yang Yong win the throne, Yang Yong would not thank him. Once Yang Yong controls the situation, he may say that he will cross the river and dismantle the bridge to unload the mill and kill the donkey.

From now on, every step counts, and Yi Feng has to think carefully before deciding.

Li Mi entered the tent, "Your Highness." ”

Yi Feng nodded to him, and Li Mi cautiously looked around, "Your Highness, if you keep interrupting, you will suffer from it." His Royal Highness now has 200,000 elite soldiers and strong generals, and has the latest news, if we rush south now, we will definitely be able to reach Datong before Gao Gong gets the news from Beijing. ”

"Master, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"Your Highness, the minister has three strategies, which can be used for His Highness's reference."

"What's the best policy?"

"Of course, the best strategy is to strike first, Your Highness, we have to act immediately. While the prince is still in Taiyuan, Gao Gong He Ruobi and others still don't know the news in Beijing. Li Mi looked at Yi Feng, his eyes flashed with ferventness, he lowered his voice, and whispered eagerly, "We were able to rush to Shuozhou with lightning speed, control Gao Gong and He Ruobi to seize the military power of the Middle Route Army, and then we went south to Taiyuan, and then controlled the prince." Then take the prince to the south, and the king of Jin in Jinzhou is also in his hand, and then His Royal Highness has an army of 500,000 in his hand, and in the name of the prince and the king of Jin, the army is under the city of Beijing, eradicating Yang Xiu's rebels, and then supporting the prince to succeed to the throne. Although the crown prince ascended the throne at that time, the entire Jingshi was in the hands of His Royal Highness. At that time, His Royal Highness coerced the Son of Heaven to order the world, and after the situation was stabilized, let the Emperor Chan be located in His Royal Highness, and it would be a matter of course.
