The change in grain prices in Luoyang was very dramatic, and when the grain price was pushed up to 700 yuan of rice, it was not actually a shortage of grain, but more of a psychological shock, and people's worries about the chaotic situation. ()

On the one hand, they have to see the attitude of Yao Ji Mixing, on the other hand, they think that the price of grain will be higher, the reason is very simple, Chang Ping has been snatched up, can no longer carry out the task of stabilizing food prices, and if the replenishment of Chang Ping requires the approval of the emperor, at this time the emperor is not in the capital, time comes and goes, at least ** days.

The price of grain rushed to 800 yuan of rice, and the merchants had full confidence, but Yang Yuanqing and the Dugu family reached a settlement, and the grain price of Yao Ji Rice Store and Zhang Shengji Rice Store fell sharply from 700 yuan to 400 yuan of rice, and then plummeted to 200 yuan the next day.

20,000 stone of the 30,000 stone grain in Yang Yuanqing's manor was also sold to seven big grain merchants at a price of 350 yuan per bucket, and there was still 10,000 stone of grain left.

As the situation gradually turned calm, Yang Yuanqing also took time to go to the manor in Yanshi County to deal with some money and food matters.

Early in the morning, Yang Hui, the king of Qi, got the news that Yang Yuanqing went to his manor, and the opportunity he had been waiting for for two days finally came.

Yang Xuan rushed to the Taoist temple in the backyard, and as soon as he entered the room, he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and said: "Master, as you expected, Yang Yuanqing left the capital and went to Yanshi Manor, with a total of more than 200 guards. ”

"Good!"

At this moment, he waited for two days, and finally came, Pan Dan squinted his eyes proudly, "As long as Yang Yuanqing leaves Luoyang and leaves the protection of the army, his death time will come, Your Highness, the rest is up to you." ”

Yang Yun's eyes shot an extremely resentful gaze, "I have already arranged it, this time he doesn't want to escape from my palm again." ”

The grudge between them for many years will be completely resolved this time.

.......

It is very close from Luoyang to Yanshi County, only dozens of miles apart, and there is an old city of Luoyang that has been destroyed for decades.

Yang Yuanqing's manor is located in the southwest of Yanshi County, there are hundreds of hectares of Shangtian, there is a hill and a large forest, it is an extremely beautiful mountain villa, this was originally an imperial village, the world Yang Guang rewarded it to Yang Yuanqing in the first year of the great cause.

The entire hill is also covered by forest, and at the top of the hill is a small courtyard with only one acre of land, which is the owner's residence.

In the afternoon, two cavalrymen galloped into the manor one after the other, speeding towards the hill, bringing with him the latest information that Yang Yuanqing was waiting for.

Like Yang Jun, Yang Yuanqing is also waiting for this last moment to come, at this moment in the room, Yang Yuanqing is studying Yang Jun's march route in front of the map with several iron guards, in fact, Yang Yuanqing has already studied many times, he already knows it, and it is precisely in this way that he bought the inner servant Li Zhongshun and asked him to give advice to the demon Dao Pan Dan, so that the other party can make a dangerous move, and send a private army to hunt themselves, when they find that it is useless to assassinate with assassins, they will inevitably use the army to assassinate, and the demon Dao will never understand the consequences of sending an army. ,

"General, Shaomu Mountain, Chongsong Mountain and Baihua Valley are trained in a line, just between Yique County and Yanshi County, generally go to Luoyang South first, and then diagonally insert into Yanshi County, but I am familiar with the road over there, although the mountain is high and steep, it is difficult for the army to climb over, but there are also mountain trails in the middle, will they pass through the valley?"

Yang Yuanqing stared at the map, and for a while, he shook his head, "Although there is this possibility, but Yang Jin's intention is to intercept and kill me, Yanshi and Luoyang are very close, and they can go back and forth on the same day, if they pass through the valley, they will lose the opportunity to intercept me halfway, so the route that Yang Jin arranged for them must be to take Luoyang, and then take the official road to cut off my back road, it must be like this!" ”

Yang Dalang was a little worried: "But after all, there are only a hundred people around Gongzi, although everyone is strong in martial arts, but I still feel a bit risky, if it really fights, there will definitely be casualties." ”

Yang Yuanqing looked at him strangely, "Do you think I'm going to fight with him?" ”

"Isn't it?" Yang Dalang was stunned.

Yang Yuanqing smiled and shook his head, "Da Lang, you still don't understand the true intention of my action this time, I'm just a bait, understand?" Now the emperor already knows that his son has a private army, but what does he do with a private army? King Qi hasn't shown it to his father yet, maybe he won't have a chance to show it, this time, I want him to show it himself, let his father see with his own eyes, what does his son want to do with the army? ”

"General, two messengers have arrived!" Yang Sanlang's voice came from outside the door.

Yang Yuanqing's spirits were lifted, he was waiting for the news of the two messengers, he walked quickly to the window, from the window you can see two messengers running to the top of the mountain, one brings him the emperor's whereabouts, and the other brings him the news of Yique's private army.

At this time, Yang Yuanqing felt that he was a master of the nine-dan of Go, calculating the most accurate time, waiting for the last chance to kill.

"General, the scout has arrived!"

"Come in!"

The first to come is to investigate the scouts of Xue Shixiong's army, last night Yang Yuanqing received news that Emperor Yang Guang sent an army of 5,000 people, led by Xue Shixiong, the general of the Right Yiwei, and the army was running fast, and it had arrived in Xingyang early this morning, so I don't know where to go now?

Yang Yuanqing deduced from the time that Yun Dingxing should have reported to Yang Guang, so the army led by Xue Shixiong should be the army that went to Yique County to exterminate the private army of King Qi.

"Report to the general, Xue Shixiong's army has passed the Tiger Prison Pass and is rapidly coming in the direction of Yanshi County, in addition, the humble post also found General Yuwen Chengdu with three thousand tiger guards in the north of Yanshi County, which is now less than ten miles away from us."

This news made Yang Yuanqing stunned, and he immediately reacted, Yuwen Chengdu should have come to arrest King Qi, and his heart suddenly became nervous, and he didn't know where Yique's private army was?

The second scout also walked in quickly, bowed and saluted, "Report to the general, the 1,000 troops from Yique have rested in a forest about twenty miles south of Luoyang, and have not continued to advance. ”

Yang Yuanqing walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, it was obvious that although the king of Qi was stupid, the leading officer was not stupid, he didn't want to pass by Luoyang during the day, obviously he wanted to march again after dark, and he was still twenty miles away from the capital, and he did not reach his expected goal of Yang Yuanqing being ten miles away from the capital.

Yang Yuanqing pondered for a moment, if Zhou Zhong was allowed to do it, although it could also explain the problem, it was better to let Yang Guang's own people do it, which would be more convincing, and Yuwen Chengdu and Xue Shixiong would inevitably exaggerate the serious consequences of the private army entering Beijing in order to get the great merit of blocking the rebels from entering Beijing, so that King Qi would be at the end of his rope and would have no chance to turn over. Templars,

At this time, Yang Yuanqing finally made up his mind and ordered the scout: "Go and tell General Zhou Zhong not to act rashly and wait for my order." ”

Yang Yuanqing said to the left and right Tiewei: "Pack up your weapons and follow me to see Yuwen Chengdu!" ”

.......

Just about ten miles north of Yang Yuanqing's manor, a cavalry team composed of three thousand tiger guards was speeding on the official road, and the general headed by Yang Guang was Yang Guang's confidant guard, the left guard general Yuwen Chengdu, who was ordered by Yang Guang to search the palace of the king of Qi.

At this time, there were still forty miles away from the capital, and they could arrive at the capital at night, and when they passed a small bridge, Yuwen Chengdu suddenly heard someone calling him in the distance, "General Yuwen!" ”

Yuwen Chengdu reined in his war horse and looked for prestige, only to see that on a small road in the south, a cavalry was galloping towards this side, and a few miles away, a group of cavalry was coming along the path.

After a while, the cavalry rushed to the scene and said, "Please wait a moment for General Yuwen, my general will be there soon!" ”

"Who is your general?"

"My general is Yang Yuanqing."

Yuwen Chengdu laughed, how could Yang Yuanqing be here, he waved his hand, "The army is suspended!" ”

The three thousand tiger cavalry stopped, and after a while, the horse ran up the official road from the small road, raised his whip and laughed: "Brother Yuwen, it's been a long time!" ”

Yuwen Chengdu arched his hand and smiled: "Yuanqing, why are you here?" ”

Yang Yuanqing pointed to a small hill five or six miles away in the distance, "Do you see that hill?" There is my manor, I happened to be in the manor today to deal with some private matters, I heard the soldiers say, there is an army crossing, so I rushed over to see, I didn't expect it to be Brother Yuwen, what a coincidence! ”

"Yuanqing's manor was originally here."

Yuwen Chengdu's smile slowly disappeared, and he stepped forward and whispered: "Jingzhao Shaoyin Cui Bosu impeached King Qi for many illegal things, and the Holy Lord was furious, so I came to search the Qi Palace, what has Yuan Qing heard of King Qi?" ”

Only then did Yang Yuanqing know that it turned out that Cui Bosu had also impeached the King of Qi, which was beyond his expectations, but now was not the time to think about this, Yang Yuanqing immediately said: "I also have urgent information, the King of Qi has a private army, and there are currently a thousand armored soldiers marching from Yique County to the direction of the capital!" ”

Yuwen Chengdu was stunned, he couldn't believe his ears, King Qi has a private army, and there are a thousand troops marching in the direction of the capital, what does King Qi want to do?

"Yuanqing, is your news true?"

"There is absolutely no problem, I have sent someone to inform Zhou Zhong and ordered him to monitor this army, and now I am also about to rush back to the capital, General Yuwen, you should deal with the private army first, I am very worried that the capital also has his internal response."

Yuwen Chengdu's face was extremely serious, he felt that the situation was much more serious than he imagined, if there was really a private army marching into the capital, it was very likely that the king of Qi had heard some news and had already had the heart of rebellion.

"Let's go! Go and intercept this army first. ”

Yuwen Chengdu whipped violently, the war horse rushed out, Yang Yuanqing followed closely, and the three thousand tiger army sped up the speed of the horse and galloped in the direction of the capital.

.......

Night fell quietly, and in a forest about twenty miles southeast of Luoyang, an army composed of more than 1,000 armored soldiers had already walked out of the forest, quickly entered the official road, and marched north rapidly......

This is an army that the King of Qi has been raising for four years, the first of which is his dead soldiers, and since last spring, they have armor and weapons, they have an establishment, they have officers and soldiers, and they have begun to become an army.

The leader of the army was called Sun Wei, a confidant of Yang Xuan, the king of Qi, who was named the general of Yingyang Lang by the king of Qi and commanded this formidable army.

Sun Wei received an order to go to Yanshi County early tonight morning, there are two roads from Yique County to Yanshi County, one is to take Luoyang, and then turn east to Yanshi, and the other road is to pass through Shaomu Mountain and Songgao Mountain, and enter Yanshi from the south, this road is much more hidden, but the King of Qi ordered him to take the road of Luoyang, because Yang Yuanqing is likely to come back from the manor that day, and he can intercept and kill halfway.

Seeing that it was not far from the capital, Sun Wei became a little nervous, they were disguised as regular soldiers to carry out the mission, and the journey was smooth, but it was too close to Luoyang, Sun Wei was afraid of being recognized, so it was difficult for him to explain what they were doing in Luoyang? This is the capital, and the private army enters the capital, which is the crime of exterminating the nine clans.

He didn't dare to go any further, so he could only hide in the forest and wait until it was dark before setting off.

At this time, it was already dark, and Sun Wei urged the soldiers to march quickly, to walk up to the official road of Yanshi as soon as possible, and leave the capital.

The official road to Yanshi is about ten miles away from the capital, there is a fork called Sanguankou, you can directly enter Beijing to the north, and there is a fork road to the northeast to go to Yanshi.

There are not many pedestrians on the official road, and there are occasional carriages coming and going, but no one dares to approach this army, the armor and weapons they wear are exactly the same as those of the Sui army, and they also have military cards like the Sui army.

The fork in the road was already seen in front of them, and the towering capital was seen in the distance, and they were only ten miles away from the capital.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded behind him like a torrential rain, like a muffled thunder rising from the ground.

.....

Sun Wei was taken aback, he turned his head sharply to look, only to see a cavalry of thousands of people coming out of a forest in the southeast direction behind him, and under the moonlight, the cavalry group was murderous and rushed towards them overwhelmingly.

Sun Wei panicked, he forgot that he was pretending to be the Sui army, and immediately shouted: "Bow and arrow formations to fight!" ”

This private army was an infantry, but it was well-equipped and well-trained, especially all of them were not afraid of death, and did not panic and fled, they took out their crossbows from behind them, lined up in three teams, brushed the crossbow arrows at the ground level, and aimed at the cavalry rushing hundreds of paces away.

The three thousand tiger army led by Yuwen Chengdu had just arrived, and they had only waited for less than a quarter of an hour before this private army appeared in front of them.

Yuwen Chengdu was eager to make meritorious contributions, and shouted: "Kill them and defeat them!" ”

Yang Yuanqing found that the other party had listed a crossbow array, he caught up with Yuwen Chengdu, and said hurriedly: "The other party has a crossbow, don't rush hard!" ”

Yuwen Chengdu stared deeply at the enemy troops on the official road in the distance, he bit his lip tightly, and resolutely shouted: "Kill me!" ”

The horses of the three thousand tiger cavalry galloped on the field, and in the night, a black storm rolled up on the flat ground, and swept away towards the thousand rebels on the official road with a devastating momentum.

"Shoot!"

There was a sound of crossbow planes crashing, and a thousand crossbow arrows rose into the air, like a black net flying in the air, overwhelmingly shooting at the cavalry that had rushed to a hundred and fifty paces away

The cavalry raised their shields to meet each other, and the dense rain of arrows roared into the cavalry group, a miserable scream sounded, about 100 cavalry arrows rolled to the ground, and then the second round of arrows arrived, and the cavalry continued to fall down with arrows, and the cavalry galloped, and rushed to fifty paces away in an instant.....

Sun Wei saw that the other party was a cavalryman, and they had no way to retreat, so he also crossed his heart, raised his sword and shouted: "Kill a bloody road, kill them!" ”

This private army was once the dead soldiers of the King of Qi, all of them were outlaws collected from all over the world, after several years of training, they were more fierce, with extremely strong combat effectiveness, at this time they all understood that they had no way to retreat, the wildness in their bones suddenly exploded, raised their spears, screamed and rushed to the cavalry.

The Tiger Benwei is Yang Guang's personal guard, the most elite soldiers selected from the millions of troops, all of them are strong and burly, the armor is strong, the war knives are sharp, the war horses they ride are also the best horses in a hundred, the killing machine in their hearts also broke out, wielding war knives and spears, rushing into the enemy group like a storm, and the screams suddenly sounded......

The two armies fought bloodily ten miles south of the capital, the cavalry slashed with swords, spears rushed to kill, flesh and blood splashed, human heads rolling, the official road and the surrounding fields were stained red with blood, and patches of viscous blood merged into streams, and corpses and severed limbs were everywhere.

Yang Yuanqing and Yuwen Chengdu from one south and one north, to the most dense group of enemies to kill, Yang Yuanqing long lance assassination and chopping, unstoppable, where the corpses are piled up, the blood mist is filled, like a killing god descending to earth, even the most fierce dead man saw him, his legs trembled with fright, turned around and fled, followed by his nine iron guards, all the way to kill, invincible.

Yuwen Chengdu also killed a bloody path, his giant boring flew and slapped, the enemy was beaten to the point that his brain was bursting, his flesh and blood were blurred, and the two enemy groups converged, they looked at each other, and they both looked up and laughed.

"General Yuwen, as the commander-in-chief, don't you go to command the battle?"

Yuwen Chengdu said with a smile: "There are only more than 1,000 rats, don't work hard, the three thousand tiger army has its own tiger Benlang general command, I haven't opened the killing ring for a few years, don't be verbose!" ”

"Okay, let's fight our way out of the encirclement and see you on the periphery!" As if they had a tacit understanding, the two of them waved their weapons at the same time, one east and one west, and each killed in the dense enemy group.....

3,000 cavalry had an absolute advantage over 1,000 infantry, although these private soldiers were all fierce and not afraid of death, but under the impact of the powerful cavalry, they were gradually unable to support, and they were divided and surrounded by cavalry, and eliminated one by one.

At this moment, another army appeared in the northeast, and it was the general Xue Shixiong who arrived with 5,000 cavalry, and they surrounded the rebels from the west.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, Sun Wei, the commander of the private army, couldn't help but sigh, drew his sword and committed suicide, the commander died, and the remaining hundreds of rebels finally collapsed, they surrendered on their knees, begging for mercy, Yuwen Chengdu ordered to stop the killing, and all the remaining prisoners were taken alive.
