Yang Xuangan led dozens of personal guards and cavalry to run along Suzaku Street towards the city gate, and at this time, someone behind him shouted: "Duke Chu stops!" ”

Yang Xuangan grabbed the reins, looked back, several people galloped on horseback in the dark night, and only when they got close did they recognize that the person who was the leader was his staff member Xie Sili, he slowly strangled the reins, at this moment, he felt a little sorry for Xie Sili in his heart.

"Is there anything wrong with the sir?"

Xie Sili stepped forward and bowed, "Duke Chu, Chang'an will definitely not be able to be saved, and he must be evacuated immediately." ”

Yang Xuan sighed, "Where else can I retreat now?" ”

"Duke Chu, Ding County is empty, you can immediately withdraw to the county, go to Hanzhong in the Meridian Valley, and then Tu Bashu, Chu Gong still has 50,000 troops in his hands, with Hanzhong and Bashu as the foundation, and he can also try to make a great cause."

Yang Xuangan was silent in thought, and Xie Sili hurriedly said: "Duke Chu, don't hesitate anymore, now there is only Beicheng to go, and it will be too late to hesitate." ”

Yang Xuangan shook his head slowly, "Most of my soldiers are children of Guanzhong, their parents, wives and children are in Guanzhong, they will not go to Bashu with me, besides, I Yang Xuangan has two incidents and failed twice, this is the will of God, I don't want to lead the military disaster to Bashu again, I was born in Chang'an, even if I die, I will die in Chang'an, thank you Mr. for your kindness, Xuangan has failed Mr." ”

Yang Xuangan turned the horse's head to leave, and Xie Sili finally couldn't help shouting: "Duke Chu, this is what your son Yang Yuanqing meant, he hopes that you will not die in Guanzhong, live!" ”

Yang Xuan was shocked, slowly turned his head, a trace of tears flashed in his eyes, bit his lip, and said to Xie Sili in a trembling voice: "Tell Yuan Qing for me, treat his two brothers well, this is my only plea for him!" ”

After speaking, Yang Xuangan whipped his war horse and ran towards the city gate, his figure gradually disappeared into the darkness, Xie Sili let out a long sigh, "Everyone says that Xuangan is crazy!" ”

He turned his horse's head and said to his two attendants, "Let's go!" ”

The three of them rode in the direction of the palace.

In the old house of the Yang family in Chang'an, nearly twenty children of the Yang family gathered in the inner hall, and Yang Xuanjing, who was brightly lit and mixed into the city, said to more than 20 clansmen: "I have been named Jian Guogong by Tang Gong, Fufeng County Taishou, all clansmen, Tang Gong is generous and benevolent, and promises to rebuild Hongnong Yang's ancestral hall, this is an opportunity for the revival of our Yang family. ”

There was a sound of stealing in the inner hall, and Yang Xuanzhong, Yang Xuanjing's brother, stood up and said, "Big brother, don't say it anymore, we all understand, I don't know what Duke Tang needs us to do?" ”

Yang Xuanjing glanced at everyone and asked, "There are people who are willing to follow Xuangan, but I won't force you to leave." ”

None of the more than 20 people moved, Yang Xuanjing nodded and said to everyone: "Since this is the case, I will say it bluntly, there is no treasure that has fallen from the world, we must make a contribution, all of you here, how many people have an army in their hands?" ”

There were more than a dozen people raising their hands, and Yang Xuanjing quickly estimated in his heart that the children of the Yang family had about 20,000 troops in their hands, so he said: "Duke Tang asks us to protect the imperial city and palace, as well as Zuozang Taicang, maintain order in Chang'an, prohibit random soldiers from looting, and open the city gate as soon as possible." ”

At this time, brothers Yang Jun and Yang Rong walked in, and Yang Xuanjing asked them, "How is it, is your father willing to surrender?" ”

Yang Rong said hatefully: "I said surrender, he actually wanted to kill me, the relationship between me and his father and son has been severed, we listen to the second uncle, I can take away half of the guards around him." ”

Yang Xuanjing nodded, his eyes fell on Yang Jun again, Yang Jun handed a gold medal to Yang Xuanjing, "This is his gold medal for troop transfer, with this gold medal, you can transfer Yang Wei and Yang Xuan's award to rescue Chang'an." ”

Yang Xuanjing was overjoyed, this was also what Tang Gong wanted, Yang Xuanjing immediately arranged for everyone to act separately, but he pulled his brother Yang Xuanzhong aside and asked in a low voice: "Is Yang Yu in your hands?" ”

Yang Xuanzhong served as the general of the Sixth Rate Mansion of the East Palace, and Yang Yu lived in the East Palace on behalf of the king, which was guarded by Yang Xuanzhong with 2,000 people, Yang Xuanzhong nodded, "He lives in the East Palace and is closely guarded by my subordinates." ”

Yang Xuanjing was overjoyed, Li Yuan ordered him to control Yang Yu, this was his last great achievement, and he immediately said impatiently: "Take me to the East Palace immediately!" ”

At this time, there was also an accident in the East Palace, Xie Yingdeng, who was responsible for guarding the imperial city and the palace city, faked Yang Xuangan's order, and led five hundred elite soldiers to forcibly take over the Xuande Gate of the East Palace, and Xie Sili sneaked into the dormitory where Yang Yu, the acting king, lived with more than a dozen strong soldiers.

Yang Yu was actually placed under house arrest by Yang Xuangan in the East Palace, with only two palace maids and an elderly eunuch around him, and thousands of soldiers were deployed around the palace, commanded by Yang Xuanjing's brother Yang Xuanzhong, and besieged the palace like an iron bucket.

Yang Yu was the youngest of Yang Zhao's three sons, and his body was the weakest, and he knew that he was just a puppet, sullen all day long.

"Your Highness, there seems to be an accident outside?" The old eunuch looked at the fire in the south and muttered to himself.

"Hmmm! It is estimated that Li Yuan has entered the Guanzhong. ”

Yang Yu also heard a little rumor, Li Yuan rebelled in Taiyuan, but whether it was Li Yuan or Yang Xuangan, it was the same thing for him, he no longer had any hope, at this moment, the window behind him 'click! With a soft sound, a man in black jumped in, startling both Yang Yu and the old eunuch.

"Who are you?" Yang Yu asked sharply.

"Shh

The man in black shushed and said in a low voice...... Below is the personal soldiers of the head of Fengzhou Yang, who was ordered by the head of Yang to save His Royal Highness from Chang'an.

Yang Yu hesitated, he didn't know whether to believe it or not, so he looked at the old eunuch as if asking for help, and the old eunuch thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, let's go!" Whether it is or not, it is better than Li Yuan entering the city. ”

Yang Yu nodded, his own soldiers were overjoyed, squatted down and jumped out of the window with Yang Yu on his back, the old eunuch saw Yang Yu go away, sighed softly, and muttered in a low voice: "Your Highness, have a safe journey!" ”

At this moment, the gate of Yang Yu's bedroom 'bang! The ground was kicked away, dozens of soldiers rushed in, Yang Xuanjing rushed forward with a knife, the soldiers rushed into the inner room and study, and immediately rushed out to report: "General, the acting king is gone!" ”

Yang Xuanjing was taken aback, he grabbed the old eunuch's shirt and asked viciously: "Old Zamao, where is the acting king?" ”

The old eunuch smiled slightly, "Your Highness has gone for a walk in the garden." ”

"Nonsense! How could he possibly get out? ”

Yang Xuanjing was also anxious, and yelled: "Say it quickly, don't say that I will kill you." ”

At this time, a soldier rushed in and shouted, "General, I found a group of people running towards the Xuande Gate." ”

"Chase!"

Yang Xuanjing slashed the old eunuch to death with a knife and rushed out, he was anxious, this was the first major task given to him by Li Yuan, if he couldn't keep King Yu, his career would be over.

Yang Xuanjing led more than 1,000 soldiers to ride towards the Xuande Gate, at this time, Xie Sili ran to the front of the Xuande Gate with Yang Yu, and Yang Xuanjing led a thousand people to chase a hundred steps away.

"Stop!" Yang Xuanjing was so anxious that he waved his knife and shouted in the back.

Xie Yingdeng stood at the head of the city, pulled out an arrow, Zhang Yin took the arrow, and aimed at Yang Xuanjing at the front, under the moonlight, he could see it very clearly.

As soon as the string was loosened, an arrow shot out like lightning, and Yang Xuanjing was defenseless, 'Poof! With a sound, a strong arrow pierced his throat, Yang Xuanjing held his throat with his hand, his eyes bulged out, his women, money, career, his Jian Guogong, the head of the Yang family, all the dreams were shattered at this moment, there was only darkness in front of him, his body was weak, and the corpse fell from the horse.

The Xuande Gate was slammed shut, Xie Sili and Xie Yingdeng took the acting king Yang Yu, led 500 cavalry to rush into the West Inner Garden, and ran through the valley north of the West Inner Garden in the direction of the old city of Bai Chang'an, this valley was the valley where Yang Yuanqing hunted.

Li Yuan's 200,000 troops have surrounded Chang'an on three sides, launched a siege battle, the city is up and down, the arrows on both sides are like rain, the head of the Qixia Gate is lit by fire arrows, a raging fire is ignited, the smoke is billowing into the sky, the city guard suspension bridge is damaged, the protection is lost, thousands of soldiers hold the giant tree, and hit the city gate again and again, the impact sound is deafening, the city gate shakes, and it is shaking.

Yang Xuangan personally led 4,000 troops to defend here, he commanded the soldiers to move the stone beasts from the town gate of the big family to resist the city gate, he saw that the city gate was crumbling, and he was so anxious that he roared loudly, "Go to the city and shoot with crossbow arrows!" ”

More than 1,000 soldiers rushed towards the city, and at this time, a cavalry rushed over and shouted: "Duke Chu, Yang Huaizhen has surrendered, dedicate Mingdemen!" ”

Yang Huaizhen is the younger brother of Yang Su, is the youngest uncle of Yang Xuangan, once served as a general of the cavalry, Yang Xuangan ordered him to lead 5,000 people to guard the main gate of Chang'an, heard that Yang Huaizhen rebelled, dedicated to the Mingde Gate, his eyes were dark, almost fainted.

But Yang Xuan was unwilling, he waved his lance and shouted: "Follow me!" ”

He led two thousand troops to rush towards Mingdemen, and his brother Yang Jishan also followed behind him, Qixiamen and Mingdemen were not far away, and Yang Xuangan arrived in just a moment.

Yang Huaizhen had just dedicated the Mingde Gate, Li Yuan's army swarmed in, Yang Xuan's eyes were red, he roared, rushed into the enemy group and slashed and killed, like a tiger entering the flock, killing Li Yuan's soldiers' heads rolling, corpses all over the ground, hundreds of people besieged him, and they couldn't stop him, he rushed left and right, killing a few bloody roads.

At this moment, Li Shimin, the commander in charge of the siege of Mingdemen, and his brother Li Xuanba rushed in.

Yang Xuangan suddenly saw a hammer with a big bucket swept towards him, the hammer was fierce and heavy, he was taken aback, shook the lance rod and picked it up, and wanted to borrow the opponent's strength to pick the hammer away, but the wolf teeth on the opponent's hammer hung the tip of the lance, Li Xuanba pressed down Yang Xuangan's long lance with his backhand, and smashed the head with a sledgehammer in his left hand, the hammer was fast and fierce, poor Yang Xuangan couldn't dodge, and was smashed on the chest by Li Xuanba, his bones were shattered, and he died tragically on the spot.

Yang Jishan was so frightened that he shouted, waved his gun to save his brother, but was shot in the neck by Li Shimin with an arrow from the side, turned over and fell off the horse, and the soldiers rushed up and split Yang Jishan's body into pieces.

Seeing that the commander was killed, Yang Xuangan's soldiers knelt down and surrendered, and Li Yuan's army rushed into Chang'an City.

At the end of April of the twelfth year of the Great Cause, Li Yuan's 200,000 troops captured Chang'an City, Yang Xuangan was stoned to death by Li Xuanba under the Mingde Gate, and the rest of the army surrendered.

Yang Xuancheng and Yang Wei were transferred by Li Yuan with the Xuangan Gold Medal to rescue Chang'an City, but they were ambushed by Li Xiaogong's troops halfway, 8,000 people were killed and wounded, Yang Xuan's son Yang Cheng was killed, Yang Xuanxuan and Yang Wei fought their way out of a bloody road, and led hundreds of remnants of the army to flee in the direction of Beidi County.

At this point, Yang Xuangan's whole army was annihilated, Li Yuan occupied Guanzhong, because the acting king had fled, in desperation, Li Yuan had to set up a three-year-old distant royal family Yang Budo as the emperor, and Yang Guang was respected as the emperor.
