Jingzhou Mansion, Xiazhou Yiling Nanjin Pass.

After the great river gushes out from the Nanjin Pass at the mouth of the Three Gorges, there is no longer the obstruction of the high gorge and deep valley. Thousands of miles of the Yangtze River crossed, the extreme eyes Chu Tianshu, the Yangtze River ended the upstream of the rushing agitation, and entered the middle and lower reaches of the plains and boundless water and sky. After passing the Nanjin Pass, starting from Yidu in Shaanzhou in the west of Jingzhou to Baling in Yuezhou at the junction of Jingchu in the east, this 800-mile river road is also called Jingjiang. The Jingjiang River is meandering, and it is known as the "Nine Curved Intestines". To the north of the Jingjiang River is the range of Guyunmeng Daze, to the south is the Dongting Lake, coupled with the Han River in the north, the rich water flow and the fertile soil make it form the Jianghan Plain, the land of fish and rice, and the granary of Jianghan. It is connected to the Jianghuai in the upper reaches of Bashu and the lower reaches of the river, the Central Plains in the north, and the Guanzhong in the west, which has an important position and has become the southern gate of the imperial court.

In the Jingjiang River dozens of miles away to the west of Jiangling, the capital city of Jingzhou, there is a huge alluvial island, because there are more than 100 miles around, and it is called Bailizhou, the terrain is flat, the soil is fertile, but because it is surrounded by the Jingjiang River, the terrain is low-lying, so it is also called the Jiangxin Bailizhou, ten kinds of nine do not harvest, three seasons a year, empty-handed to the year. In the end, this rich land almost became a desert island.

Yang Qing narrowed one eye and exhaled softly, the horn tendon bowstring in his hand had been stretched like a full moon, and when it reached the limit, the entire rhino horn bow made a creaking sound, and the three eagle arrows were already aimed at a fat deer sixty steps ahead.

The fat stag was standing in the middle of a low bush, munching on a tender green leaf, unaware that it had been locked. On this island that has long been deserted. Wild beasts multiply rapidly, and the deer herd has long regarded this place as their own paradise. It doesn't come to mind. Today, Gangneung City has come to hunt with a large group of young nobles from the imperial court.

Yang Qing is going to do it now. Just lightly unhook the finger of the bowstring, and then the crumbling bowstring will eject the bow, and the sharp arrow will travel in a flash of sixty paces, through the tender green leaves, through the stag's shiny brown fur, through the tender flesh, and kill it.

Time passed little by little, and finally Yang Qing shot that arrow. The arrow departed from the string and snapped into the stilt of the tree beside the stag. The frightened stag snapped. Then it jumped away, and the branch next to it shook for a while, and then it raised its hooves and flew away, and fled in a panic towards the depths of the woods, and soon disappeared without a trace.

Yang Qing lowered his hand, looked at the empty forest, and the swaying branches, and showed a chuckle. He put away his bow and stepped forward. He pulled the fine carved arrow from the pole of the tree, held it up in front of him and looked at it a few times, but the arrow was still intact, and he smiled and inserted it back into the quiver.

A young man in leather armor in a hunting suit approached from behind the grass on the side. patted the blades of grass on his body, "With the king's archery, you won't miss." ”

"I couldn't bear it for a while. A life. Yang Qing explained, "You see how peaceful it lives. We're going to kill it all of a sudden. It's too cruel to pick its skin, pull its tendons, and eat its meat. ”

"It's just a beast, my lord. What's more, in the jungle, the weak eat the strong, the deer eat grass, the tiger and the leopard eat the deer, and if the king does not kill it, it will eventually be eaten. In that case, why should Your Highness be like this, anyway, if you don't eat it, someone else will eat it. ”

Yang Qing chuckled, "Having said that, I can't do it." ”

The young man shook his head angrily, "Then I didn't see that the king didn't eat meat, after the deer I hunted in the morning was roasted, didn't His Highness be very happy to eat it, and called the venison tender?" ”

Yang Qing laughed.

"When the interruption continues, it will be chaotic, my lord. Your Highness can't bear to kill a deer now, it's nothing, anyway, this deer will run away at most, and it won't turn back and bring other deer to besiege you. But"

"I'll have to think about that again," Yang Qing interrupted.

"What else to think about, if it goes on like this, it's too late. Don't you know that Yangzhou has been lost, and seeing that the entire Huainan has been lost is only a matter of ten days and a half months, you and I both know that Huainan has no soldiers and horses left behind. The emperor didn't think about retreating at all, gathered all the soldiers and horses to go to Guanzhong, originally thought that he could succeed, but now, trapped in this Jiangling, he can't enter the pass, and he can't retreat to defend Jiangdong, and we are about to end. At that time, what use will you be the king of the river? "The relationship between the young man and Yang Qing is very close, the name Yuanmin, the new Shi Sheren, his father Yuanshou, the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Marquis of Longcheng County at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, and later changed the title of Yilong County Hou, Kaihuangzhong, as the lord of the Ministry of History, once accompanied Yang Guang to Chen, and also led Yang Guang's marshal mansion, so it is also very close to the King of Jin. Previously, it was the history of Fuzhou in the east of Jiangling, Yang Guang called the emperor, Yuanshou and Yang Hong together responded to the allegiance, and was named the Taifu Siqing and Zuo Yiwei General by Yang Guangjia, and his son Yuanmin was named the Shishe people.

Yuanshou is related to Yang Hong at the same time, and Yuanshou's sister is Yang Hong's wife, so Yuanmin and Yang Qing are actually cousins.

Yuan Min actually has something to do with Yang Lin, his father Yuan Shou and Yang Lin's mother Queen Yuan are of the same clan, and they are party brothers and sisters in terms of generation, although they are a little far apart, but after all, they are of the same clan. Therefore, Yuan Min can actually be regarded as Yang Lin's uncle and cousin. Yuan Min's father, Yuan Shou and Yuan Hong, unanimously supported Yang Guang, but Yuan Min was more active, and seeing that Yang Guang was now bad, he also began to have other thoughts.

Yang Qing raised his eyebrows and said lightly, "Forget it, it's not early, let's go back to the camp first." He turned around and left, and Won Min followed with a bow. The two walked out of the forest together, and several family members were sitting under the trees guarding the horses. Seeing them coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The king and the Yuanshe people are back." ”

Yang Qing and Yuan Min ignored the others, and each got on his horse, and the others hurriedly followed. Yang Qing and the two walked side by side.

After walking silently for a while, Yang Qing suddenly stopped his horse and said to the people behind him, "You can't go back empty-handed, you go and come back with some rabbits and pheasants or something." ”

After those entourages left, Yang Qing turned to Yuan Min and said, "There is important news that I haven't told you yet. ”

"What?"

"The emperor has been in a coma for a long time, and he can't be a director at all, and the emperor has reviewed the music during this time. In fact, it was all approved by Empress Xiao on behalf of her. ”

"Huh?" Yuan Min was shocked, "I've never heard my father say it. ”

"Because before yesterday. No one knew about it, not even my father and Dr. Goshi. Until yesterday. Empress Xiao revealed it without concealment, but it was only to tell me and my father and son, as well as Zhang Duan and Guo Yuwen. Even yesterday, Guo Duan and others led the troops to the battle, in fact, the emperor didn't know about it at all, and it was all a few of us who discussed with the queen to make the decision. ”

"What's the matter with the Emperor?"

"The queen said it was not a big problem, but she needed to recuperate. But I think that the queen refuses to let us see the emperor, which only means that things are more strict, and even I wonder if the emperor can wake up. Yang Qing sighed.

Won Min was shocked. Then he said urgently. "It's all like this, what are you hesitating about, and you can't hesitate now."

"But you know my father, he is loyal to the emperor, after Yang Xiu killed the king, he sent someone to see my father and gave a lot of rewards, but my father directly beheaded the person who came and sent him back. My father now chooses to be loyal to the present. That's certainly not going to change. And your father, who is also a die-hard man, if they are loyal to the emperor, what can we do? ”

I heard that Yang Qing was still there chattering non-stop. Yuan Min strangled his mount violently and sighed: "The more this is the case, the more we need to decide." You and my father are pedantic and die-hard. But in today's world, what's the use of that? It will only bring ruin to the family. At this time, what kind of diehards are you talking about. What are you hesitating about, besides, if your father really wants to talk about loyalty, then after the death of the first emperor, it is the crown prince Yang Yong who is qualified to succeed the unification in the name of righteousness, and your father should also be loyal to the Taiyuan court, why is he loyal to the king of Jin? ”

"My father always thought that King Jin was more talented, and the emperor had always intended to make King Jin the crown prince."

"Aren't you deceiving yourself when you say this, whether the emperor wants to stand up or not, in short, Yang Yong has been the crown prince for nineteen years, and when the emperor dies, it is naturally the crown prince who succeeds him, what is there to doubt about this? King Jing's allegiance to the present day is disloyalty to the emperor. ”

"How can you say that."

"I'm telling the truth."

Yang Qingdao: "My father supports today, how can I switch to Luoyang?" ”

Yuan Min sneered, "What kind of world is it now, if it is just to compete with Yang Xiu for the world, then I will naturally support Jinshang." But isn't there a Luoyang court, and you know the current situation, Yang Lin is the regent of the Luoyang court, with heavy troops, and he has won the hearts of the people of Kwantung. The emperor is now unconscious, and we don't even know if he has died, in a short period of time, the prince is dead, Yizhou is lost, and now even the emperor's Longxing land Yangzhou has been lost, only this Jingxiang is left, this is a sign of defeat, we must make a decision as soon as possible and arrange a retreat. ”

The emperor died, the world was in chaos, and Yang Guang, who might have been able to replace Yang Yong as the crown prince, did not go well in this struggle for the throne.

Not only is it not smooth, but it can even be described as a worrying prospect. Yang Guang proclaimed himself emperor in Yangzhou, and then raised troops to march westward, at that time Yang Yong and Yang Lin were still in Taiyuan, and Yang Xiu was a monarch killer, and the shape was very beneficial to Yang Guang. Therefore, Yang Guang led the Jianghuai soldiers and horses to the west, and did not even plan to send troops to stay in the Jianghuai, at that time, Yangzhou thought that when they rebelled against the army, the hundreds of officials and soldiers in Guanzhong would inevitably respond in groups, slaughtering Yang Xiu to meet them. But this is not the case, the prince Yang Zhao led 50,000 Yizhou soldiers out of Shu, but was booby-trapped by Yang Xiu's men in Jianmen, and 50,000 Yizhou soldiers defected, followed by Shuzhong Yizhi. Then Liang Gang also led the Yizhou soldiers to Jingzhou, making it difficult for them to march westward with the whole army, but when they returned to the division and wanted to destroy him first, the other party did not confront them head-on at all.

Now the soldiers and horses are trapped in Jingzhou, but the emperor is unconscious, and there is such bad news from Huainan.

During the period when they were trapped in Jingzhou, during the time when the situation in the Yangzhou court was deteriorating, although the Taiyuan court also experienced great changes, and the crown prince Yang Lin entered the customs and put the emperor Yang Yong under house arrest, but they did not fight among themselves, but merged into one and greatly increased their strength. Yang Lin not only dispatched more than 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack the fortifications, but even quickly divided his troops to take over the counties of Guandong, and then quickly went south to Luoyang, although Yingzhou Wei Chong was loyal to Yang Guang and successfully borrowed a large army from Goguryeo, but Yi Feng immediately sent 100,000 soldiers and horses to block them out of the pass. Then Yi Feng still had the strength to send a large army south, and broke their two heavy towns of Shouzhou and Yangzhou, which had little defense, and saw that the entire Huainan would be lost, and then the vast and defenseless states and counties in the south of the Yangtze River would fall and lose.

The situation has become so bad that it is already hopeless.

As a child of a wealthy family, a nobleman of Guanlong, Yuan Min is a royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty, although the Northern Wei Dynasty has been destroyed for decades, and has experienced several dynasties later, the Yuan family is still a wealthy family.

If there is no civil strife, it will continue to be in the prosperous era of the Great Sui, then he will rely on the power of his family to be an emperor's guard in the Qinxun Yiwei, and then go to the court to be a low-level subordinate official, or a county commander or something in other counties, if you are lucky, you can be a general when you are in your thirties, maybe you can be a thorn or a manager in your forties, and after the age of fifty, you can enter the court and move to the Jiuqing or the sixth department. Even if he can become a scholar or even a general before sixty years ago, he may be able to further promote to the title of county duke or county duke on the family marquis who attacked the title, bringing infinite glory to the family.

But if there is chaos today, there are three emperors in a country.

If you are on the wrong team, if you end up on the side of the loser, not only will the glory of the family's inheritance for more than a hundred years be gone, but even whether the family can be preserved.

Who will own the world in the end?

According to Yuan Min's clever mind analysis, these three emperors today will not be the victors, and the one who is most likely to end this chaos and ascend to the supreme position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan is now the regent of Luoyang, Yang Lin, the crown prince of the supervising country.

Yuan Min feels that in this situation, there is no longer a need to wait and see, and he must make a decision and make a choice immediately.

Why can I see it so clearly, but my father can't? Yuan Min sighed in his heart, why did his father follow Yang Guang like a fan. If it was two months ago, he really felt that Yang Guang had the best chance of winning the world, but now, hey, I don't know if the emperor is dead or alive. But his father wouldn't listen to his advice at all, Won Min shook his head, he wouldn't listen. (To be continued......) R1292
