Chapter 128: Conspiracy
In May of the ninth year of the Great Cause, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty crossed the Liao River again, and unlike the last time, this time he did not remotely command the generals from all walks of life, giving the generals a lot of power. He sent Yuwenshu and the general Yang Yichen to lead the army to capture Pyongyang, and sent Zuo Guanglu's doctor Wang Rengong out of Buyeo Road to capture Xincheng, and he himself led a large army to directly attack Liaodong City, which almost wiped out Yang Guang's glory at the beginning. Here, the army of Gao Yuan, the king of Goguryeo, was stationed here to resist Yang Guang's attack. The two sides fought fiercely under the city of Liaodong for nearly half a month without any result, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. Liaodong City was still in the hands of Goguryeo, and Yang Guang was hesitant under the city.
"His Majesty the Emperor is in a hurry." Li Xin rode on the Yuyezhao lion, with thousands of cavalry behind him escorting grain and grass, through the pontoon bridge on the Liao River, and marched towards the city of Liaodong. As the war progressed, the demand for grain and grass in the front-line army was also increasing, and the grain transportation team in Li Yuan's hands was also very compact.
"Keming, is there no news from Shen Qianqiu yet?" Li Xin asked with some concern.
"General, there is news even if there is no news!" Du Ruhui glanced around and said: "My subordinates have already told Shen Qianqiu that the matter of Liyang is reported every day, and now there has been no news from Liyang for two days, that is, the incident has happened, Yang Xuangan has blocked all the roads to the north, and our people will not be able to come for a while." Ten days if it's slow, a few days if it's fast, and there's bound to be news. ”
"Hey! His Majesty the Emperor was too anxious. Li Xin shook his head and sighed.
"General, where do you look?" Du Ruhui suddenly pointed to the woods in the distance and said.
"Probably the sentry who sent out!" Li Xin glanced at the woods and saw dozens of people sitting there, dressed in the bright light armor of the imperial court, and said indifferently. Yang Guang was born in war in the end, and he attached great importance to sentinels, especially on the enemy's borders. It's normal to put a sentry here.
"Not quite right, where is there a Lang general who came out as a sentry?" Du Ruhui shook his head and said, "And they are still of the same rank as the generals, they are all tiger generals." ”
Li Xin looked over, the person at the head was holding a long lance, and the armor and helmet on his body were really the same as himself, and he was also a tiger general, and he was also surprised in his heart, and finally shook his head and said: "Keming, in the army, General Lang who commands more than 10,000 soldiers and horses is nothing, and General Lang comes out to watch the terrain and leads the sentry is nothing." This is after the army, what, do you think it was the Goguryeo people who impersonated? ”
"It's not, just feeling the look in their eyes?" Du Ruhui shook his head and said.
"Eyes? Could it be that they are trying to kill me? Li Xin said disdainfully. Although his strength is relatively small now, he really wants to fight, Li Xin is really not afraid of anyone, it is a big deal to kill back to Huaiyuan Town, burn the grain and grass cleanly with a fire, everyone is a hundred, he leads the army to hide in the mountains, and waits for the opportunity to kill the world again.
"I'm afraid I'm mistaken." Du Ruhui shook his head when he thought about it, although there were many people in the Guan Long family who wanted to kill Li Xin, but they only wanted to kill Li Xin with the hands of Yang Guang, but they wanted to use soldiers and horses.
"That's Li Xin?" Yang Wanshi looked at Li Xin's eyes red, and said coldly: "It looks good, but I don't know how good my skills are?" ”
"What do you want to do? Don't forget jì, fifty miles away is the big camp, and if there is a little thing here, it will be discovered by the faint king, and we won't be able to leave if we want to. Yang Xuanzong said dissatisfiedly. As Yang Xuangan's younger brother, they naturally knew that their brother had rebelled, and now they wanted to escape back to the Central Plains and follow Yang Xuangan to establish a thousand years of meritorious service.
"Brother, there are as many as 3,000 people gathered together, can't we kill a single Li Xin? I took a look, he led the army out to escort grain and grass, and there were only a thousand people, what are you afraid of? Besides, he ordered someone to pass the book to Li Yuan, let him lead the army to come, and kill Li Xin together, as soon as Li Xin died, those people under him must have no heart to fight, and they just solved it together, and then burned the bridge, grain and grass, waved the army to occupy Linyu Pass, and trapped Yang Guang here. Yang Wanshi said loudly.
"This?" Yang Xuan thought for a while, and finally said: "This place can't be moved, let's cross the river, there is a high post by the river, and we ambush Li Xin there." After Li Xin crossed the river, we first besieged him, then burned the bridge, and then ordered someone to pass the book to Li Yuan so that he could help. Kill Li Xin together and occupy Linyu Pass. The 3,000 people brought by Yang Xuanzong this time are all his cronies, and more importantly, these people don't want to die in Liaodong, after all, Wang Bo's song of death in Liaodong shocked the land of China, who would dare to come to Liaodong. These people are all thinking about killing back, but against Yang Guang, it is not impossible for the military spirit to be used for their own use.
"Brother, let's do it! Li Xin's thief killed Yang Ning, and now that my brother's side has acted, we are going to make trouble here, and it is best for Yang Guang to fight without intention. Yang Wanshi's eyes were crazy, looking at Li Xin's army in the distance, a thousand cavalry and hundreds of people were transporting military rations, and he couldn't wait to lead the army to kill it now. In his opinion, Li Xin just took shit luck, so he will have today, no matter how powerful the soldiers under his command are, they are not the opponents of his own people, you know, the soldiers under his command are piled up with money, they are all characters who kill people without blinking, and they will kill a Li Xin to be captured.
"Okay, immediately send someone to inform Li Yuan and ask him to send troops to help." Yang Xuanzong finally thought about it and said, "What did Hu Sizheng say there? Let him go to Goguryeo, and when you leave, will he go? ”
"Let him go to see the King of Yingyang, come up with some ideas, let him help those guys in Goguryeo, just hold Yang Guang, after all, he knows the truth of our army." Yang Wanshi sighed slightly: "It's still very awkward to think about it, that Goguryeo is also our feud, now let Hu Sizheng help him, although it is against Yang Guang, but in the end it is our Han people who die." ”
"Hmph, first cheapen those rabbit cubs in Goguryeo, wait until we kill Yang Guang, the eldest brother sits on the throne, and then come to conquer Goguryeo." Yang Xuanzong snorted coldly and said: "Let's go, let's go prepare first, it was already afternoon when Li Xin came back, hehe, the army has been fighting all day, even if Yang Guang finds out, how many soldiers and horses can be sent?" ”
"Okay, hehe, Li Xin, I want to see how powerful you are, you dare to kill the descendants of my Yang family." Yang Wanshi saw that Yang Xuanzong had agreed, and he was very happy in his heart, the Yang family has a family history, Yang Xuangan is extremely brave, and the same is true for Yang Xuanzong and Yang Wanshi, especially Yang Wanshi, whose martial arts are not inferior to Yang Xuangan at all.
