Hedong, Taiyuan.

After Yang Yong proclaimed himself emperor in Taiyuan, he set Taiyuan as the northern capital, and took the Jinyang Palace in the west city as the northern capital palace city, and listed the Jin Temple as the royal inner garden. Many mansions and mansions in Xicheng were all requisitioned by Yang Yong, and then given to the military generals of Yuan Zuo Wenchen who supported him as emperor in Taiyuan. Gao Gong, as the minister of the new dynasty's Yuan Zuo Shouxun, was crowned by Yang Yong as the Taishi and Taiwei, ranked as the third division and the third duke, and was also promoted to Shangshu Province Shangshu Ling, Qi Guogong, plus Zhuguo, 5,000 households in Shiyi, 3,000 households of real food, and the third son of Gao Gong was named the county duke, and the five grandsons were all county dukes regardless of their age. Posthumously presented Gao Gong's father Gao Bin as the Taibao, and the governor of thirteen states including Xinzhou in the Jin Dynasty. And specially given Gao Gong praise and worship nameless, from now on, although there is guilt, but not rebellion, even if there are a hundred deaths, do not ask.

The mansion that originally belonged to the Taiyuan Wang's Beppu is now hanging the plaque of the Taishi Mansion, the halberd in front of the door, a bronze lion squatting on the left and right, the vermilion lacquer gate, and even a new stone carved tall triple archway on the street, which is engraved with the various official titles of the emperor and the title of the emperor.

These extreme glories, but Gao Gong was not very happy.

For more than ten years, he has worked hard to protect the prince, and now the prince has finally sat on the dragon chair and become the emperor, but he can't be happy.

The reason is very simple, Yang Yong is not the only emperor, in addition to Yang Guang and Yang Xiu, there are two emperors, one occupies Guanzhong and the other occupies Jiangdong. The most terrible thing is that the newly canonized imperial grandson is not the emperor's own son, but Yang Guang's illegitimate son, and now Yang Guang has also canonized Yang Lin as the crown prince. Gao Gong sat at his desk with a map in front of him.

On the map, draw in circles. Full of marks.

A huge Great Sui Dynasty, but now there are three emperors.

Ay. Gao Gong let out a long sigh. He believed that the emperor was killed by Yang Xiu, and the reason. It's pretty much clear now. When the emperor heard of the great victory of Daibei, he planned to start ending the system of governorship and abolishing the system of dividing the prince into towns and regions and unifying the prefectures and leading the people. It was changed to implement the three-level system of provinces, prefectures and counties by Taisun Tiyì, and continued to be feudal. Following the division of the four sons of the Han King and the emperor's brother, this time the emperor planned to directly abolish the Qinzhou Governor's Office, and then seal Yang Xiu, the Shu King of Qinzhou, to Ryukyu Island in the East China Sea as the Ryukyu King. Gao Gong was very supportive of these measures of the emperor. If it weren't for Yang Xiu's audacity to kill the emperor and usurp the throne, then after the victory of the Northern Expedition. If the policy is implemented, within a few years, the kings of the Great Sui clan will be divided into southern Xinjiang, and all the governors will be abolished, and the provinces will be established, and the military power will be returned to the central court. At that time, when the crown prince succeeds to the throne, the world will be peaceful, and the succession will be stable. And there will never be a situation where kings are emperors and divide the world.

Yang Xiu was proclaimed emperor in Daxing, and he now controls the Jingshi and most of Longyou. The rest of the area on the right side of Long. Now it is occupied by Yang Su's army, Yang Su and Shi Wansui have 150,000 Western Route Army in their hands, but he has just been defeated in Lingzhou. Although he defeated more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, he also lost 80,000 horses. The cavalry allocated was almost completely lost, and now the Turkic army with the captured troops was less than 100,000. However, although the vitality of the Western Route Army was seriously injured. But the names of Yang Su and Shi Wansui are also quite Xuanhe. Yang Xiujing usurped the throne by killing the king, taking advantage of the opportunity of the first move, and it coincided with the kings going out of Beijing, and the generals were outside, he controlled most of the areas of Guanlong, but Yang Su and Shi Wansui ignored Yang Xiu at all. So far, Yang Xiu's edict has not been received, but because Yang Su and Shi Wansui each supported the King of Jin and the crown prince, the Western Route Army is now divided into two parts, Yang Su and Shi Wansui each lead an army, Yang Su is stationed in Lingzhou, and Shi Wansui is stationed in Liangzhou. Yang Su occupied Lingzhou and Fengzhou in Hetao, and Shi Wansui occupied Liangzhou, Ganzhou, and Lanzhou, and they refused to recognize Yang Xiu.

And Yang Guangzhong returned to Yangzhou, the old nest that had been in charge for eight years, seized Yang Jun's military power, and established himself as emperor. And today, the Taiyuan Imperial Court received another news that Yang Hong, the acting governor of Jingzhou, King of Hejian, had officially fallen to Yang Guang. The land of Jingxiang Jianghan suddenly belonged to Yang Guang, and in this way, Yang Guang's eldest son, Han Wang Yang Zhao's Yizhou Grand Governor's Prefecture, was also connected with Yang Guang's prefectures and counties, and the south of the Yangtze River almost belonged to Yang Guang, and Huainan and Jingxiang in the north of the Yangtze River also basically belonged to Yang Guang.

The rest of the Taiyuan court now controlled the Hedong region south of Yanmen Pass, as well as the whole of Henan, as well as the southern part of Hebei.

And the northern part of Hebei, Hebei Daibei, is controlled by the crown prince Yang Lin.

Three emperors, the territory of the world was divided into four large pieces, as well as two small pieces west of the Longyou River.

In general, it is actually Yang Xiu, Yang Yong, Yang Guang, and Yang Lin The four major forces, Yang Suyuan is Yang Guang's first line, and Shi Wansui is the prince's first line, but at the moment, the two are in the northwest, and their attitudes are unpredictable.

Among the four major forces, in terms of territory, it is undoubtedly Yang Guang who owns the largest, Jiangnan, Huainan, Jingxiang, and Bashu all belong to Yang Guang, and basically the territory of the three major governors of Yangzhou, Yizhou, and Jingzhou has been taken over by Yang Guang. However, the large territory in the Lingnan region has not yet expressed its position and seems to remain neutral, but Lingnan is mostly slang and aborigines, which cannot affect the overall situation today, and can be ignored for the time being.

In terms of military strength, there is no doubt that Yang Yong and Yang Lin are comparable, the number is comparable, and the elite is also comparable. Yang Yong has about 250,000 soldiers and horses near Taiyuan, another 20,000 Turkic troops, and then there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Henan and Hebei. But Yang Lin is also strong and strong, there are 200,000 outside Yanmen Pass, plus those who remain behind, there are also no less than 300,000. Among them were 130,000 Turkic troops. In addition, Yang Lin also took custody of the Khitan and other Sanfan, and Sanfan had tens of thousands of Hu soldiers. In terms of the courage of the soldiers and the excellent armor, Yang Lin is no worse than Yang Yong.

The weakest is Yang Xiu, who occupies the Jingshi, kills the monarch and usurps the throne, and now he is barely controlling Guan Long, but if he really wants to fight, Yang Xiu will definitely be the first to finish. When the rebel army arrives, there will definitely be many officials who will rebel against the water and soldiers will revolt. But from the other side, the situation is not so simple.

The two parties with the strongest troops, Yang Yong and Yang Lin are close together, originally father and son, but now it is possible to divide life and death first, it is a situation where the strong and the strong are competing and both are defeated. in this regard. On the contrary, Yang Guang has a great advantage, and he monopolizes half of the south. Although the soldiers are not as good as Yang Yong and Yang Lin, the local food is rich and rich. And there is still a high prestige among the people of the world, and there are many supporters among the aristocratic officials. Now he is still Yang Lin's biological father, if Yang Lin finally throws himself to him, even if he fights with Yang Yong in Hedong first, then Yang Guang is very likely to enter the customs one step earlier to rebel, kill Yang Xiu, and seize the Jingshi.

Originally, Yang Yong was the crown prince, and Yang Xiu usurped the throne. After the extermination of Yang Xiu, naturally Yang Yong succeeded to the throne most justifiably, and at the same time had Hebei, Hedong, Henan, and the middle and east routes of the Northern Expedition, which had the most advantages, and there was no doubt about taking over the world. But now, the problem lies with Yang Lin.

It became confusing again.

Yang Lin supports Yang Yong, so Yang Yong has an absolute advantage over the other two brothers. If Yang Lin supports Yang Guang, Yang Yong will immediately be at an extreme disadvantage.

Gao Gong took out the handwritten letter from his bosom again. I took a closer look.

Gao Gong and the prince are sons and daughters, and he has been the core of the princeling party for many years, and the relationship with the prince is too close. In short, he and the prince share weal and woe. One is prosperous, and one is lost. But now, Yang Yong is going to be finished.

Couldn't get Yang Lin's support. Moreover, he became Yang Lin's opponent, and Yang Yong did not have the slightest chance to win in this battle for hegemony among the kings. Yang Yong finished. His Gao family also has to follow.

Is it too late to switch to Yang Lin now? I switched to Yang Lin by myself. Can he really believe in himself, will he cross the river and tear down the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey in the future? Can Yang Lin accept himself? The more Gao Gong thought about it, the more terrible he felt, and he unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat. It was difficult for him to confirm whether the promise made by Yang Lin on the letter was true or false.

Good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose the lord to serve. Gao Gong looked down at the letter again, looked at the two sentences in it, and recited it in a low voice, over and over again.

Three days later, the gate closed.

Gao Gong stood on the gate and looked into the distance, next to him was Han Sengshou, the guard of Yanmen.

"Han Zhuguo, do you think that if my Taiyuan army fights with the Huaihuang army, what will be the victory?" Gao Gong asked.

Han Seng Shou has an iron-armored brocade robe on his body, a sword hanging from his waist, a long beard, and his courage has not diminished. In the face of Gao Gong's question, he stroked his long beard for a long time before replying, "Yesterday, a certain Yi disguised himself and went to observe the prince's military camp carefully, and there was no flaw. It is said that the crown prince not only gave all the soldiers under his command high salaries and generous rewards, but also bought some kind of insurance for each general, and if the war was killed, he could also get an additional salary of up to 60 months. The Huaihuang army is not afraid of war, and even wants to fight, what do we use to fight them? Besides, even if we win, it will definitely be a lose-lose situation, and we will still lose at that time, and we will not be able to compete with others for the world at all. ”

"yes." Gao Gong also sighed. "Therefore, I plan to welcome the prince into Jinyang, and the prince will supervise the military and state affairs, lead the army to rebel, and pacify the country."

"What?" Han Seng Shou thought he had heard it wrong and asked in surprise.

Gao Gong repeated, "The old man wants to welcome the prince into the customs and supervise the military and state affairs." ”

Han Seng Shou heard it clearly, but he was still shocked. "Overseeing military affairs? Xiangguo is desired? Han Seng Shou didn't dare to say the latter words for a while, but those words came from Gao Gong's mouth, which was too unbelievable.

"You and I welcome the prince into the customs, put the emperor under house arrest, let the prince supervise the country and lead the army, and after pacifying the two puppet emperors, then let the emperor take the throne, pass on the prince, and retire to the emperor!" Gao Gong made his words clear this time, without the slightest doubt. "Han Shuai would like to be with the old man?"

After Han Sengshou's initial shock, he quickly weighed Gao Gong's suggestion, and after half a sound, he had to admit that Gao Gong was worthy of being the prime minister who had been in charge of the government for nearly 20 years, and the proposed proposal was good. The current relationship between the emperor and the crown prince is good if it doesn't fight, and it is almost impossible to get the prince's support. But if they really do what Gao Gong planned to do, it would be very feasible. The two or three hundred thousand soldiers and horses controlled by the Taiyuan court did not necessarily have much loyalty to Yang Yong, if they supported the prince into Taiyuan and put the emperor in the air, this would be no problem. And the emperor is elevated, the crown prince Yang Lin is equivalent to combining the soldiers and horses of the Taiyuan court and the soldiers and horses of Youzhou Mansion, and in an instant, the strength of the Taiyuan court can look down on the kings.

When these two forces merge, the final winner must be the prince, and as the one who chooses to support the prince, he will also have the last laugh. The glory and wealth of the family, and the fame and fortune of the individual have all been preserved. It can also make a lot of money from it. Why didn't he think of it before, but Han Seng Shou smiled secretly in his heart. Without Gao Gong taking the lead, this plan would have been difficult to implement. After all, this goose gate is closed. He is a marshal, but not all the generals below are his people. But with Gao Gong taking the initiative to take the lead in planning this matter, it was completely different.

"I am willing to advance and retreat with Xiangguo!"

"Okay, wealth and nobility together, share honor and disgrace, for our family!" Gao Gong nodded to Han Seng Shou.

The prime minister of the Taiyuan court and the marshal reached a consensus together, and the next thing was much simpler. Gao Gong and Han Seng Shou both had a lot of henchmen in the army, and the two of them each found them separately in turn, and then told them about the plan after testing the reliability. Then they will be in control of the mobilization of troops. Soon, Gao Gong and Han Seng Shou had completely controlled Yanmen Pass, controlled the army in Yanmen Pass, and replaced them with reliable people in key positions.

Mayi City.

"The Duke of Qi is in accordance with the emperor's will and comes to reward the army."

"Oh?" Yi Feng was reading letters, letters from Jingshi, almost every other day these days, a letter would be sent from Beijing. It was either written by Li Liyi or Xiao Sumei, and sometimes there were letters from the Yuan family or the Li family. The people who sent the letter were all people from the Yang Xiu faction. Its intentions are already undisguised. However, for Yang Xiu's public threat, Yi Feng was unmoved. Liu Bang could throw his children out of the carriage in order to escape, Xiang Yu arrested his father and wrote to him to stew and eat Daddy Liu. He even wrote back that he remembered to share his piece. Yi Feng didn't dare to say that he could do that like Liu Bang, but now at this time, it would not be because his wife and concubine were in Yang Xiu's hands. Therefore, he was allowed to direct the transfer. Yi Feng didn't reply to Yang Xiu in a letter, but he organized a group of elites from the three special operations units of the Flag Guard, the Logistics Regiment and the Flying Tigers. Let them cooperate with the three intelligence departments of the special branch and go to the capital division together. Organize and implement rescue operations.

"The army doesn't have to work hard to get there, it seems that the letter has worked." Yi Feng smiled slightly and said to Li Mi.

"Your Highness thinks Gao Gong is willing to support us?" Li Mi said excitedly.

"If not, why did Gao Gong come. Let's go, come with me to meet Gao Xiangguo. Yi Feng laughed.

Not long after, Gao Gong came with Han Seng Shou, both of them were dressed in Liang Guan's shirt and jade belt, hanging a purple gold fish bag, and hanging a jade head sword at the waist, and the dress was extremely elegant. Far away, Gao Gong and Han Seng Shou asked Yi Feng to luggage, "The minister greets His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"Gao Xiang, Han Shuai, there are two people here, please sit down quickly." Seeing the attitude of the two, Yi Feng had already confirmed his guess more and more in his heart, and his face was full of smiles at the moment. After a period of polite and incomparably cold noise between the two sides, Gao Gong finally ran to the topic, "The ministers and others are specially here to welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince into the court, supervise the country's governance, lead the army to rebel, stabilize the world, and restore peace to the world." ”

"Is this what the emperor meant?" Yi Feng asked.

"No, this is the meaning of the minister and Han Shuai, and it is also the meaning of the 100,000 defenders of Yanmen Gate, I believe that other soldiers and officials also agree with the minister's opinion. He also asked His Royal Highness to lead the commander into the customs and enter the government. ”

Yi Feng smiled, "Please let me enter the government, what about Your Majesty?" ”

"Your Majesty has such a virtuous prince as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to rule the universe on his behalf, so you can enjoy the beauty singing and dancing with peace of mind." Gao Gong looked at Yi Fengdao with high eyes.

"What is Marshal He Ruo's attitude?" Yi Feng asked again.

"For the time being, I haven't mentioned this matter to Marshal He Ruo, but the minister believes that as long as His Highness leads his troops into the customs, Marshal He Ruo, who is stationed in the northern capital, will naturally open the gate of Taiyuan City to welcome His Highness into the court."

"Hahaha!" Yi Feng couldn't help laughing at this time, he just wrote a letter to Gao Gong, explaining the current situation, he didn't expect Gao Gong to be so cooperative, he is really a man who knows the times. "Gao Xiang, you have to worry about state affairs and plan for Lonely. Thank you Han Shuai too, thank you here. ”

"Without further ado, please also ask Your Highness to immediately lead the army into the customs, so that you can take over the state affairs as soon as possible, clear the world, calm the world, and return the dawn of the world to the people of a peaceful and prosperous world." Gao Gong stood up and bowed in salute.

"yes, okay."

Yi Feng immediately issued an order, allowing Dou Jiande and Li Jing to lead a military army and horses to follow Han Seng Shou into Yanmen Pass, and he and Gao Gong came later.

For Gao Gong, Yi Feng still kept a careful waist, he kept Gao Gong by his side first, which can be regarded as a hostage, and specially told Li Jing and Dou Jiande that when they let them enter the customs, they should first send a careful reconnaissance, and be careful of traps and traps. No one can guarantee whether Gao Gong is a deception.

Yanmen Pass.

Li Jing was very cautious, although his own uncle came to lead the way, but Li Jing did not have the slightest carelessness. Along the way, many scouts were sent to be very careful, and every time they passed through a fort and a fortress, they all asked to immediately send troops to take over, although Han Seng Shou was a little dissatisfied in his heart, but he was all satisfied. When he finally arrived at the Yanmen Pass, Li Jing first sent a regiment of scouts to enter the pass first, and after careful investigation found that there was nothing to do, he also sent a battalion into the city first, took over the gate, and waited for a normal time before personally entering the pass with the vanguard army. After entering the customs, it was still the same as before, sending troops to take over Yanmen Pass, and then returning to Yang Lin.

When the news that Li Jing had taken over Yanmen Pass came back, Yi Feng had just walked less than ten miles with a large army, and he walked for a while to rest for half a day. Gao Gong saw that the prince didn't fully believe in himself, and he didn't know what he was doing at the moment, so he accompanied Yi Feng to talk all the way. When Yi Feng heard that Li Jing had finally taken control of Yanmen Pass, he finally let go of his heart completely, Yanmen Pass was given to himself, and Yang Yong couldn't play so big.

"Pass my order, speed up, and have lunch in Yanmen Pass!" Yi Feng shouted with a smile, "All the soldiers will give ten thousand dollars!" ”

As soon as Yi Feng's words fell, the soldiers nearby cheered excitedly. Soon, from Yi Feng's side, several herald cavalry have galloped, they each hold an apricot yellow flag, on which is temporarily embroidered on the black characters, "all soldiers are given money ten thousand", holding the flag, they galloped along the road, along the road, the handwriting on the banner is extremely conspicuous, all the marching soldiers who saw it, all cheered, and suddenly their morale increased greatly, all of them walked like flying, morale was like a macro, and the loud military song was flying, straight to the clouds!

Before noon, Yi Feng had already led a large army to Yanmen Pass, Li Jing, Dou Jiande, Han Seng Shou and other generals came out of the pass early to welcome, Yi Feng rode a tall and sturdy white horse, waved to them, and rode into Yanmen Pass with great joy.

As soon as the Yanmen Pass passed, Taiyuan was already beckoning to him.
