Chapter 513: Cutting the Weeds and Eradicating the Roots

(Thank you for the support of the King of the Emperor, writing a lifelong promise, and Jishi Fan Shen V, thank you!) )

"His Majesty the Emperor has already controlled Bintian." Yu Wenhua, who walked into the hall wet, and the first sentence surprised Zhang Heng and the three of them. "King Yang Hong of Jing colluded with Zuo Yiwei's general Yuanshou to rebel against him, although we discovered the conspiracy and risked our lives to fight the rebellion, but His Majesty was still killed by Yuanshou's son, Yuanshou's inner Shisheren."

Zhang Heng stared at Yu Wenhua, as if he wanted to eat people. If he hadn't met Yang Qing first, maybe he would have really believed his words, at least three points would have believed it. But now, Yu Wenhua and the words that came out of his mouth, he didn't believe a word. He endured the anger in his heart and let out a long breath, "King Jing and Yuanshou are in trouble? Didn't we leave three Praetorian Guard battalions of nearly 10,000 elites stationed in Jiangling City to guard the palace and guard His Majesty, how could we let Yuan Min kill the king? Also, what is the situation in Gangneung now? ”

"Yuan Min and the thieves colluded to www.uuxs.cc buy several guards in the palace of His Majesty, took advantage of the chaos outside the palace, and hanged His Majesty with a silk scarf." Yu Wenhua tried to keep his composure, "We discovered King Jing's attempt, closed the city gate in time, and then fought the rebels to the death in the city, killing Yang Hong, Yuan Shou, Yuan Min and other rebels. Later, my father sent a message to the rebels with the heads of three people, and announced that the rest would not be blamed for the past anyway, and pacified the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou outside the city. At present, Jiangling City has been pacified, and only Yang Qing, the son of Yang Hong, has escaped, and we estimate that he has defected to Chang'an. If he could, Yu Wenhua and 10,000 were reluctant to come on this trip, and he was more worried that Zhang Heng and the others would not believe their lie at all. If Zhang Heng and the others have to be held accountable and loyal to the emperor at that time, then he will die in the place where he is buried. But his father said to him very calmly. So far, this is the only way, and he also believes that Zhang Heng and the three of them know how to choose. This Gangneung turmoil. The father didn't know about it at first, but afterwards. Sima Dejiao and Yang Wei both said that they would push his father out to lead everyone, and his father was in a high position, the key was that only when his father came out could he be qualified to talk to Zhang Heng and the three on an equal footing. Father's words, Zhang Heng and the three of them may consider it carefully.

Although this is a clumsy lie, if Zhang Heng and the three of them were smart, they would not have exposed it, this is what his father said to him before he left. Let him come in person, it is also his father to show his sincerity.

Guo Yan picked up his wine glass. I drank the full glass of wine, and my eyes turned red. "Did your father personally command the Gangneung Rebellion that was quelled?"

"Yes, if it weren't for the critical moment, there were loyal people who risked their lives to report Yang Hong's conspiracy to betray the party, we wouldn't be able to stop it in time. And if it weren't for the father of the family, he would not have been able to mobilize the battalions of the Jianghuai Army in Jiangling City. It's a pity that in the end, although we prevented the Jingzhou soldiers from entering the city, and killed Yang Hong Yuanshou and other rebels who wanted to cooperate in the city, we finally missed a Yuan Min. I didn't expect this thief to be so rampant, and he actually entered the palace alone and colluded with His Majesty to kill the king. In fact, this rebellion was simply planned by some middle-level officers in the Yangzhou army. The Jingzhou soldiers didn't think of rebelling at all, and Yang Hong was even more unguarded when they besieged the Jingwang Mansion. And the emperor died at their hands. was led into the palace by Zhao Xingshu and hanged directly with the emperor's belt. Unrest began. My father was 'protected' by him in the house, and he couldn't communicate with the outside world at all. Until the matter is decided. Yu Wenhua and Sima Dejiao and other talents came to the mansion to meet Yu Wenshu with the heads of Yang Hong, Yuan Shou and the 'monarch killer' Yuan Min. My father understood the cause and effect of the whole turmoil at a glance, and with a long sigh, my father began to propose that he must immediately send someone to contact the 100,000 Huainan troops outside, and he must explain to them the situation, and then surrender to Luoyang with the land of Jingxiang. Father's attitude afterwards has always made Yu Wenhua feel that in fact, his father is not ignorant of their plan, but more like his father has known about Yiqiē for a long time, but he does not interfere, and it seems that his father has been waiting for this result.

"The killer of the monarch, and the murderer of the monarch, is there still loyalty in this world?" Duan Da roared, "Your father sent you over, what else do you have to sue us." ”

"My father asked me to come down, firstly, to spread the news of the changes that happened in Gangneung City, and secondly, on behalf of my father, I asked the princes to immediately lead the army back to Gangneung. Jiangling City is now calm on the surface, but there is an undercurrent below, tens of thousands of Jingzhou troops are not honest, many generals are already planning to rebel against Chang'an, Jiangling Huainan army is small, and it is necessary to ask Zhu Gong to lead the army back to stabilize the situation. ”

Guo Yan snorted coldly, "Stabilize the situation? The emperor is dead, the crown prince is also dead, and His Majesty has the only son left, but it is in the hands of Yang Xiu. You say, what kind of situation is there to steady, and what situation is there to speak of. ”

"Your Majesty is not just Yang Xuan's son." Yu Wenhua lowered his voice, "Everyone knows that the crown prince of Luoyang, he was also once made the crown prince by His Majesty. In this way, Prince Yang Zhao died first, His Majesty and Bintian, and everyone in Jiangling City agreed that we should be loyal to Crown Prince Yang Lin, and Empress Xiao also meant this. ”

"That's what Empress Xiao meant?" Guo Yan almost couldn't hold back his laughter. Of course, the three people present know that Yang Lin is actually Yang Guang's illegitimate son, and even now the news has gradually spread, but most of the outside world thinks that this is just a rumor. But even if they knew, how could Empress Xiao be willing to let them submit to Yang Lin? Empress Xiao's only son is now in Chang'an, and she should let them return to Chang'an in exchange for her son's life.

Duan Da said unceremoniously: "Is the queen still alive?" ”

Yu Wenhua was angry after being exposed on the spot, but he still answered honestly, "When Yuan Min killed the king, the queen was also there, and it was His Majesty who asked the traitor not to hurt the queen, so the rebellion did not hurt the queen." ”

"If you don't cut the grass and don't eradicate the roots, there will be endless troubles." Zhang Heng took a sip of wine, "Since you have done the first year of junior high school, don't be afraid to do eleven." ”

Yu Wenhua tried his best to believe what he had just heard, "You mean to get rid of the queen?" ”

"Yuan Min killed the monarch and murdered the queen." Zhang Heng said in a low voice, "Even the emperor dares to kill the rebellion, how can he let the queen go." ”

The emperor is dead, and that's enough to change a qiē. The three dragons competed for the position, and now it turned out to be Yang Guang the first to go out, and the rest. They're just trying to choose one or the other. Almost without hesitation, they knew who to choose just like Yu Wenshu. Since you want to vote for Yang Lin. Then you can't take Empress Xiao to vote. Anyway, they already know in Yu Wenhua's words. Empress Xiao was present when the emperor died, even if the matter of Yuan Min's murder of the monarch was too unscrupulous, it could not be revealed, let alone uncovered by Empress Xiao. Besides, Empress Xiao is not Yang Lin's mother-in-law, and their relationship is not even good, not to mention that Empress Xiao has a son. It's good for the Jianghuai army to raise Jingxiang and join it, and there is no need to bring a hidden danger. To do things, you have to do it cleanly. Then the new monarch will like it.

"Princes, can you immediately lead the army back to Jiangling?"

"We will go back, but not all. Since you want to return to Luoyang, you have to guard Jingxiang and attach Jingxiang together. And I believe that when Yang Xiu of Chang'an learns that His Majesty has been killed, he will definitely immediately send people to surrender, and whether we are willing to surrender or not, he will immediately lead his troops out of the customs to fight for Jingxiang. General Yuwen. We'll discuss it carefully in a moment, and decide who should bring some of the soldiers back first. But more soldiers and horses have to stay here, and we have to hurry up and set them up. to cope with Yang Xiu's arrival. We can't wait for Yang Xiu to defeat us and flee to Luoyang empty-handed. ”

Jingxiang area, also known as Shannan area. Under the subdivision, it can be divided into Shannan and Dong. and Shannanxi, that is, Shandong and Shanxi. Shannandong refers to the area north of the Yangtze River and southwest of Henan. Shannanxi is divided from Shannan, referring to the Ba and Han regions. Shannan area is extremely important to the imperial court of Guanzhong, Shannan and Jiannan, that is, Jingxiang and Shuhan are extremely important to Guanzhong, and its importance is to make Guanzhong Bashu Jingxiang as a whole, which not only protects the security of the southwest region of Guanzhong, but also the Shuzhong Plain and the Jianghan Plain are also important grain-producing areas, providing grain tax guarantee for Guanzhong. The ancient Qin Dynasty, it was precisely because of the annexation of Shu that it was able to rise and eventually dominate the world. Yang Xiu is based in Guanzhong, if there is no Shuzhong, there is no room for retreat, and if there is no Jingxiang, it can only be trapped in a corner.

Therefore, Zhang Heng could expect that Yang Xiu must have been preparing for a long time, and he was going to have a big battle with the Jianghuai army. Now that Yang Guang was suddenly killed, after getting such news, how could Yang Xiu not immediately turn it into an attack and come to snatch Jingxiang? Although the core of the Jingxiang region is in Jiangling, the most important place for soldiers to fight is Xiangyang, Hanshui in the north, and Jingmen between Xiangyang and Jiangling. Xiangyang guards the Han River, and Jiangling guards the Great River, these two points control the only way for the Guanzhong army and the Bashu army in the upper reaches to go south and east. Keeping these two strategic points will allow you to control Jingxiang. If the whole army retreats to Gangneung, then draw the ground as a prison, and at most hold the city of Gangneung.

Zhang Heng shouted outside, and a guard came in.

"Serve wine and food to our guests from afar, and after eating, General Yuwen has to go back on his way."

The wine is wine, crimson in color, and it is accompanied by stewed meat, which Yu Wenhua recognizes at a glance as horse stew, which is probably the most eaten dish on the battlefield. He was not interested in this dish, but a few grilled fish were well done, and they were browned, fresh and crispy. For Yu Wenhua, who galloped all the way and had to be worried, he finally let go of the burden in his heart and came to a delicious meal, which was indeed what he urgently needed now, and he ate it gratefully.

"Don't you eat horse meat?"

"I've eaten it, it's hard to eat." Yu Wenhua and Huidao, in the days when Huai'an City was guarded, although there was no shortage of food in the city, Qu Tutong had a strict order to save food and prepare for long-term defense. Therefore, after every war, people will be sent out to the corpses of the city wall to snatch the dead and wounded horses and dismember and carry them back, and then it is a cauldron to stew, during that time they eat this every day, Qu Tutong and Fang Xuanling also specifically asked all officials to be treated equally, so that everyone can eat horse meat. The horse meat didn't add any seasonings, and it wasn't carefully stewed, it was just a messy stew, and he didn't want to mention the word horse meat anymore.

"These horses are indeed pitiful, and they have to carry knights on their backs, gallop and charge. Once injured, they are immediately abandoned, and even if they are abandoned, they will be slaughtered and skinned for meat. Zhang Heng said with a smile, "Actually, we are the same, we boast of being excellent, but we are just selected as mounts." Once the injury is difficult to treat, it will be abandoned, peeled and bone, stewed meat and soup. ”

Yu Wenhua put down the grilled fish in his hand and carefully pondered the deep meaning of his words.

"I remember that General Yuwen and the crown prince once worshipped?"

"No, the crown prince has bowed to Sima Dejiao and Yang Wei, but not to me."

"It's a pity, if the general has ever bowed to the crown prince, then the future is really limitless."

But isn't it, Yuwen Ji and he secretly thought in his heart that he was the second batch to go to Huaihuang and missed the opportunity to worship Yang Lin. However, at that time, he didn't look down on Yang Lin much, but regarded him as a horse thief, a horse thief born as the illegitimate son of King Jin. At that time, he never thought that after a short period of time, this illegitimate child had come to the point where he is today, to the point where everyone in the world has to look up to him. If he had lowered his posture at that time, maybe he would have had his own place in the Luoyang court now, and he wouldn't have been so anxious now.

"Have you heard, Yang Zhao's fiancée, Princess Lintao County of Princess Guangping's family, was rumored to have disappeared in Luoyang and disappeared shortly after Yang Zhao's engagement. Now it seems that this rumor is true, but the one she ran with is definitely going to shock countless people. Not long ago, this princess of the county appeared in Luoyang, with the crown prince Yang Lin, and there was even news that she had been with the prince for a long time. Duan Da told a piece of grapevine.

Yu Wenhua and his mouth opened wide, and he shouted God in his heart. At that time, Yang Guang, the king of Jin, hit it off at first sight with Yuan, and then became pregnant outside of marriage, but in the end, Yuan married Yang Guang's elder brother, the crown prince Yang Yong, and finally gave birth to Yang Guang's extramarital son Yang Lin. Many years later, Yang Lin recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors from a horse thief to a grandson, and then, he abducted the fiancée of his half-brother Yang Zhao. It's just too messy. I just don't know if this such unrestrained Yuwen Yubo had such a leg with Yang Zhao before he and Yang Lin, if Yuwen Yubo had a relationship with Yang Zhao, and then followed Yang Lin, and even if he became pregnant with Yang Zhao and then with Yang Lin, then if he gave birth to a child in the future, who would it be, wouldn't it be another grievance between Yang Guang and Yang Yong? The more Yu Wenhua thought about it, the farther he became, and he couldn't help but want to high-five and admire the twists and turns of the story, the ups and downs, and the excitement.

"Don't say that." Zhang Heng interrupted Duan Da's words that were full of disrespect to their future monarch, and turned to Yu Wenhua and said, "After you have eaten, you will immediately turn back to Jiangling and tell your father, we will support him, and there will be soldiers and horses returning to Jiangling later." The rest of the army will be stationed in Jingmen, and a department will immediately go north to Xiangyang, arrange defenses, and hold Hanshui, in case Yang Xiu comes out of the pass to capture Jingxiang. Sue your father, contact the crown prince as soon as possible, and remember to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. (To be continued......) R1292
