(Thank you hejin、Nickname original、Mouse love mm、Headache is not good for your support.,Thank you.") Summon a guaranteed monthly pass! )

Yang Zhao immediately ordered that the 50,000 army would camp under the pass, and he and Wei Baoluan and dozens of generals and more than 100 guards entered the pass.

After Liang Gang welcomed Yang Zhao into the customs, he held a banquet and entertained him, and set up more than ten tables of banquets in the front yard of the town's general's mansion, and sent people to entertain and arrange Yang Zhao's guards. When the wine was half-drunk and the food was full of five flavors, Liang Gang suddenly dropped his glass, and immediately a large number of heavily armed sergeants poured in from all sides, holding guns and swords, and surrounded the town general's mansion.

Yang Zhao was startled and asked Liang Gang, "What does the general mean by this?" ”

Liang Gang ignored him and shouted to the left and right, "The traitors and thieves are here, where are the loyal soldiers?" ”

The guards of the Sword Pavilion stepped forward and stabbed straight with their guns, and several generals of the Yizhou Army avoided them and were immediately stabbed to the ground. Yang Zhao picked up a few cases in front of him and swung them violently, smashed open a few spears that stabbed in front of him, and shouted, "Why is General Liang against me?" ”

But no one paid attention to his response at all, the defenders of the Sword Pavilion stepped forward together, the spears kept stabbing out and retracting the stabbing out, in the small hall of the town general's mansion, there was no room for Yang Zhao and others to move and move, and in the blink of an eye, they had fallen one after another, although Yang Zhao was brave and powerful, but he attended the banquet, and he had already removed the sword, and at this time he barely supported for a while, and finally ♂ was stabbed by several spears, fell to the ground, and bled nonstop.

"How can you do that?" Yang Zhao covered his abdomen, which was constantly bleeding, but he could cover one place, and he bleed in several places, and the bleeding could not be stopped.

A white-haired veteran walked out behind Liang Gang, holding a big knife, and slashed several people just now. At this time, he stepped forward with this bloody big knife, "Edict to rebel!" "Finished. Pick up the big knife violently, and the knife falls. Yang Zhao's head fell to the ground. He lifted a knife and knocked down the golden crown on Yang Zhao's head, and picked up Yang Zhao's head from the ground, "Childe, Yang Zhao's head is here." ”

Liang Gang nodded, took the head in his hand, walked to the Yizhou generals who were still resisting, and shouted, "Liang Gang was edicted to rebel, and the head of the rebel minister Yang Zhao is here." The rest of the returnees don't ask! The generals of Yizhou hurriedly knelt down and called for surrender.

Yang Zhao was killed here, and a report came from outside over there that Yang Zhao's hundred guards had all been killed.

"What now? There are still 50,000 Yizhou troops under the pass! The white-haired old man asked.

"Don't worry." Liang Gang said, "After a while, I will carry Yang Zhao's head out of the customs, and then read out the edict of His Majesty, believing that the matter will be resolved naturally." ”

"It's too dangerous, let me go." The white-haired old man said that this old man used to be Liang Gang's father Liang Shiyan's companion when he was a teenager. Later, he became Liang Shiyan's personal guard, a general, and a powerful man. Every time Liang Shiyan went on an expedition, Liang Mo charged for it. Later, because of his repeated military exploits. The Northern Zhou Dynasty was sealed as the opening of the palace. After entering the Sui Dynasty, Liang Shiyan did not have many opportunities to lead his troops to the expedition, so he followed Liang Gang again. He went out to the north to conquer the Turks many times, and was promoted to the rank of general. Liang Gang went into exile. He took the initiative to follow the line, and he has been loyal to the Liang father and son over the years. Now. has no official and no position, and only follows Liang Gang as a general. Although he is old, he has just cut several Yizhou generals with a big knife, and he is getting stronger.

Liang Gang looked at Yang Zhao's dead head in his hand, and snorted coldly, he was just a child of the royal family who was better than the hands of a woman in the deep palace, although he had some courage and talent, but if he was allowed to lead Yizhou, he would have to fight with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses? That's a bit of a joke. He casually mentioned a few conditions, Yang Zhao actually really believed it completely, and dared to enter the customs with more than 100 guards, such a person is really not enough to die ten thousand times. Yang Zhao didn't know that he had already voted for Yang Xiu.

If it were possible, Liang Gang would not be willing to vote for Yang Xiu. But when his father rebelled and was killed, the Liang family was almost extinct, and it was Yang Xiu's father-in-law who came forward to protect him. Later, he was exiled to Guazhou, and the eldest grandson's family came forward to help the Liang family. Then in the past few years, it was Yang Xiu who secretly operated again, transferred him back from Guazhou, and arranged for him to go to Yizhou, and gradually restored his official position in Wupin. If it weren't for Yang Xiu's trust in him, how could he be guarding such an important pass as the Sword Gate. But Yang Zhao actually believed him so credibly that he gave his life in vain.

Because of these, although there are rumors everywhere in the world that Yang Xiu killed the monarch and usurped the throne, he still has no choice.

Liang Gang raised Yang Zhao's head, took Yang Xiu's edict, and Liang Mo took several guards and surrendered Yizhou generals out of the pass, and announced the emperor's edict to the Yizhou army. Tens of thousands of Yizhou troops finally chose to defect as Liang Gang expected. Among them, Yang Zhao was suddenly killed, and many generals surrendered, or there were a large number of middle and low-level generals in the Yizhou Army who were appointed by Yang Xiushi, and many of these people were loyal to Yang Xiu. Yang Zhao's army of 50,000 was gathered with great effort and walked 500 miles to Jianmen Pass, but he was killed and his subordinates all defected.

"The emperor's edict is that a certain is the marching marshal, commanding the 50,000 Yizhou soldiers and horses, going out of the Micang Road to attack Jingzhou in the south and east, and crusade against the rebellion!" As soon as Liang mastered the Yizhou army, he immediately changed the direction of the attack. Originally, Yang Zhao wanted to go out of the Sword Gate and enter Hanzhong by the Golden Bull Road, and go to attack Dasanguan and enter Gyeonggi. And now, after Yang Xiu let Liang Gang seize military power, he changed to the southeast, first went down the river to Yuzhou, and then continued down the river, directly attacking Jiangling in Jingzhou, and crusading against Yang Hong, the acting governor of Jingzhou, who was attached to Yang Guang.

Ezhou, Jiangxia.

Yang Guang's 100,000 Huainan army advanced by water, and entered the Jingzhou area at this time.

Since the sudden angina attack on the boat that day, Yang Guang has been staying on the boat to recuperate these days, but fortunately, he can sail a big boat in the Yangtze River, and it is quite stable on the boat, which makes Yang Guanghui very good.

"King Jing has gathered 50,000 soldiers and horses to reach Xiangyang." Zhang Heng reported to Yang Guangyu. Since that day, after learning that Yang Lin had become the regent of the Taiyuan puppet dynasty, Yang Guang's first edict was to crown Yang Hong, the king of Hejian, as the king of Jing, and grant the post of governor of Jingzhou, which can be described as well-intentioned. After experiencing Yang Lin's betrayal, Yang Guang could no longer withstand the defection of Yang Hong, an important ally.

"Well, that's good. At this time, the prince should have led 50,000 Yizhou troops out of Jianmen Pass, and the soldiers entered Hanzhong, and they would be able to arrive at Sanguan Pass in a few days. Yang Guang said with some relief, "When we have an army of 150,000 to attack Wuguan, and the prince will attack the pass for the partial division, well, then we will see how Yang Xiu parries left and right." ”

"By the way, the supply of grain and grass must be prepared, fortunately, we were prepared early then. Over the years, he has been secretly accumulating grain, grass and ordnance in Jiangdong, and now he can use it. We must pay attention to the issue of grain and grass. The army does not fight without food and grass, and food and grass are the root of life. Yang Guang reminded.

Zhang Heng said with a smile. "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we have stored a lot of grain and grass in Shouzhou, Yangzhou, and Hongzhou over the years, and now the grain and grass are being transported to Hongzhou through the Guò River, and then from Jiangxia to the north along the Han River, all the way to Xiangyang. There is absolutely no problem with grain and grass, the waterway is smooth, and the reserves are abundant, and this is about to be the summer grain harvest again, and then there is no need to transport grain from the distant Jiangdong at all. You can directly eat on the spot, and you don't have to worry about transporting it. ”

"Yang Xiu usurped the throne, and it is said that now he is in Beijing Hulai, and he has been relieved of the official positions of many children of the big families, which is self-defeating. As soon as the rebel army arrived, Guanzhong would inevitably fall to the wind, and the generals would definitely open the city to greet them. ”

"Hehe, I hope so." Yang Guang also felt that the shape was good, but he was still modest. There is mainly Yang Lin, a son of evil. What does he want to do, does he want to fight for the throne? Where did he get this kind of confidence, and why should he fight with me?

"What is Yang Lin's rebel doing now?" Yang Guang asked.

"I haven't received today's information yet, but it's estimated that it will arrive soon."

While talking. Sure enough, there was information from Hedong.

Zhang Heng took the information and opened it to watch, Yang Guang deliberately pretended to be calm, but he looked at Zhang Heng frequently. Waiting for him to debrief.

"Your Majesty, that's good news."

"Oh. What good news. ”

Zhang Heng handed the information to Yang Guang with a smile on his face, "It is reported." Yang Lin and Gao Gong and others seem to be at odds, so He Ruobi was sent to lead the Guanzhong soldiers to attack Guanzhong alone, Yang Lin is obviously a plan to kill people with a knife, and wants He Ruobi and Yang Xiu to tear each other apart and lose both, and then sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman. In addition, Yang Lin also disbanded the original government soldiers in the Kwantung region, on the grounds that he actually returned to his hometown to harvest wheat. Zhang Heng had a ghostly expression on his face, "Obviously, Yang Lin is taking the military power of Gao Gong and other former princelings." ”

"Let them fight in the nest." Yang Guang was happy in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended not to care.

"There's even better news." Zhang Heng said excitedly, there is some bad news these days, but today is really good news.

"The governor of Yingzhou Wei sent someone to contact Gao Yuan, the king of Goguryeo in Liaodong, and officially handed him the edict of His Majesty. Gao Yuan had officially agreed to His Majesty's request, and he decided to send troops to attack Youzhou. ”

Yang Guang snorted coldly with some disgust, "These ill-intentioned kings of Fan have long coveted my China, since the Wei and Jin dynasties, Goguryeo has taken advantage of the civil strife in our Central Plains and has continued to encroach westward for hundreds of years, and the four counties of Liaodong in the Han Dynasty have basically been occupied by them. This time, Gao Yuan must also want to take advantage of the civil strife in the court to fish in troubled waters. ”

"Your Majesty, this is just a temporary expedient measure. When we calm down the civil strife, we will send troops to Liaodong again, and Gao Yuan will vomit all the food he has eaten today, and even let him swallow everything that is profitable. We also want to collect all the four counties of Liaodong in the Han Dynasty, and even simply recover this Jizi Korea, directly destroy Goguryeo, and then destroy Silla and Baekje on the Samhan Peninsula together, expand the territory, and put Samhan forever under the ownership of China. ”

When Yang Guang heard this, he was really happy. Although he is still fighting for the throne, Yang Guang is already thinking about how to govern and govern the world after quelling the civil strife. He has already thought about it these days, and next year will be officially set as the first year of the great cause, and then move the capital to Luoyang, the center of the world, and then dig a canal from Luoyang to Yangzhou, and transport the grain and grass taxes from Jianghuai to the capital. Then, the conscription of soldiers and horses to the northern expedition to the Turks again, although the northern expedition was victorious, but because Yang Xiu killed the king, the guide zhì failed to complete the work, and then the northern expedition must be made again to destroy the Turks. He had even already thought that when the time came, he would personally lead the Northern Expedition and personally drive the expedition, and Yang Yong took the position of commander of his Northern Expedition, but in the end, he had to destroy the Turks. After the destruction of the Turks, the next one was to conquer Liao. In the eighteenth year of Gao Yuan's invasion, the fiasco of the imperial court's 300,000 troops to conquer Liao made him angry, although this time he took the initiative to borrow troops from Gao Yuan, but it was just an expedient measure. After quelling the civil strife, it will be time to settle accounts with Gao Yuan.

Zhang Heng's construction was good, and after destroying Goguryeo, he destroyed Silla and Baekje, not only recovering the homeland of the Han Dynasty, but also expanding the territory, and dividing the entire Sanhan into the territory of the Sui.

"Is there any news from the men sent to Tieler?" Yang Guang not only sent people to borrow troops from Goguryeo, but also borrowed troops from the newly established Mobei Tiele Khanate. Of course, Yang Guang did not admit that he borrowed troops, in his words, he was the lord of the world and issued an edict to the subordinate king of the Quartet, asking them to bring troops to the king of Qin.

"Not yet, I guess it's too far away, and the good news is still on the way."

"There are Goguryeo troops, and now there is a fire in Yanglin's backyard, see how proud he is." Yang Guang snorted coldly.

Zhang Heng also said with a smile, "Yang Lin and Gao Gong are fighting, this side has just disbanded the government soldiers in Kwantung, and here General Wei has taken Goguryeo's Qinwang soldiers and horses to attack Youzhou, I don't know how Yang Lin will look after hearing this news." It's a shame I can't see it with my own eyes, it must be very exciting. ”

"Hahaha." Yang Guang couldn't help but laugh at his words, "If Tie Le also led his troops south to King Qin and directly attacked Yang Lin's lair, then I was afraid that Yang Lin's expression would be even more exciting." ”

"Hahaha, yes."

I was smiling happily, and someone was in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, King Jing has an urgent messenger coming."

"Oh, Xuan."

The messenger hurriedly boarded the deck, "Your Majesty, Prince He Prince"

"What's wrong with the prince, speak well." Zhang Heng scolded on the side.

"The prince is gone!"

Yang Guang was stunned.

The death of the emperor is called collapse, the death of the princes and princes is called Xue, the death of the doctor is called death, the death of the scholar is called death, and the death of ordinary people is directly called death.

The prince is dead, doesn't that mean that the prince is dead?

Yang Guang felt that his heart began to hurt again, "The prince is gone, which prince is it?" "He is still holding a little luck now, after all, he has sealed two princes, and Yang Yong can be regarded as a waste prince.

"His Royal Highness Yang Zhao, the crown prince, was murdered by Liang Gang, the guard of the Sword Gate, at Jianmen Pass three days ago."

"Liang Gang, who is Liang Gang?"

"At the beginning of the dynasty, the son of Liang Shiyan, he had already expressed his allegiance to the prince, but when the prince led the troops to the pass, he invited the prince to enter the pass, and took the opportunity of the banquet to set up an ambush and murdered His Highness."

"The son of the rebel thief, how is this possible, didn't the prince bring 50,000 Yizhou soldiers and horses, how many soldiers and horses can there be in Jianmen Pass?" Yang Guang asked.

The messenger replied, "On the grounds that the pass is too small to accommodate the army, Liang Wei asked His Highness to station the army in the pass, and then only asked His Highness and other generals to enter the pass. ”

"Dog thief!" Yang Guang screamed in pain, and the angina pectoris became more and more severe, as if the whole person was going to suffocate. "Dog thief"

Zhang Heng hurriedly stepped forward to support Yang Guang and asked the messenger, "What is the current situation of the Yizhou Army?" ”

"The Yizhou army defected and voted for Yang Xiu, and now Liang Gang is leading the 50,000 Yizhou army, and he is taking the Micang Road to kill Jingzhou."

Burst!

Yang Guang spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and the whole person screamed, fainted to the ground, and lost consciousness.

"Imperial Doctor, Rapid Imperial Doctor!" Zhang Heng shouted. (To be continued......)
