In July, the north is breezy in the morning and evening, the dry air has a hint of wind and frost, and the weather is far less pleasant than that from the south of the Yangtze River.

For the defenders of Luoyang, today's sunrise is destined to represent an extraordinary day.

Looking from the head of Luoyang City, the soldiers defending the city saw the smoke and dust billowing not far away, and groups of men and horses were coming towards the city gate, and the neat pace made the hearts of the soldiers defending the city tremble.

"Emperor Sui's Qinwang army has finally arrived!" The soldiers had long heard that Yang Guang personally led 70,000 Jiangnan troops from Yangzhou to the imperial capital Luoyang, but they didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Some sharp-eyed soldiers have already seen the most eye-catching position of the army coming from afar, the big military flag with the word "emperor", and there is only a military flag that Yang Guang can use in the world today.

Since Luoyang was occupied by Wang Shichong, the soldiers defending the city heard the news that Yang Guang drove to Luoyang in person, and the soldiers did not think that Yang Guang was a threat, but in the past few days, Yang Guang's army was like a bamboo, rushing to Luoyang from Yangzhou in a straight line, and those anti-Sui forces along the way were powerless to stop it.

Luoyang has been basically recovered, the anti-king was killed, the momentum of the Great Sui court was unmatched for a while, and Yang Guang reshaped the name of the wise and martial arts.

The defenders of Luoyang originally didn't believe that Yang Guang, a faint king, would charge into battle, but there were many rumors, and the soldiers began to be skeptical.

It is rumored that Yang Guang, the faint king, has the courage of ten thousand people, and he marched all the way, and no one in the rebel army can be the enemy of the king, no matter how high the city wall is, he can't stop his light skills, and no matter how many soldiers can't stop his sword.

Yangzhou to Luoyang a total of fifteen cities rebelled against the Sui, but none of the cities can stop Yang Guang, it is rumored that he always jumped on the city wall alone, all the way to the inner city, opened the city gate, let the Sui army enter the city, so the Sui army marched extremely fast, not a day to the next city.

When the Sui army in the distance came to Luoyang City, all the soldiers defending the city saw that the army was in front of one person, riding a pure black war horse, wearing a golden crown of nine dragons, wearing a black armor, with an imperial atmosphere, which made people unforgettable at first sight.

Although the soldiers guarding the city had not seen Yang Guang, when they saw the person coming, everyone knew his identity.

Yang Guang rode a war horse and slowly came to Luoyang City, no one from the army behind him followed, they did not care about Yang Guang's safety, but knew that no one in Luoyang City could threaten Yang Guang, this is a fact that the whole army knew after even fifteen cities.

After Yang Guang came to the city alone, he shouted towards the city gate:

"Wang Shichong came out to see me!"

Yang Guang's voice was not loud, but all the people in Luoyang City heard his voice, far away in the imperial city in the center of Luoyang, Wang Shichong also heard Yang Guang's voice, and he was so frightened that he almost fell off the dragon chair.

Wang Shichong is a middle-aged man in his fifties, but his face is extremely haggard, and he is even more frightened when he hears Yang Guang's voice.

"Your Majesty is here, Your Majesty is here to kill me!"

A white-haired old woman next to Wang Shichong stepped forward and comforted: "Don't panic, Lord, Luoyang City has thick walls, and all the sons of the faint monarch are in our hands again, he doesn't dare to mess around!"

"You Chuhong, if I hadn't been bewitched by you, I wouldn't have betrayed Your Majesty, now that Your Majesty has killed, how can we be good!"

The white-haired old woman is You Chuhong, the actual controller of Dugu Valve, and Dugu Feng's mother.

"Lord, the faint monarch is perverse, your rebellion against Sui is what everyone expects, besides, there are 200,000 defenders in Luoyang City, how can you be afraid of him Yang Guang!" Although You Chuhong is old, there is a chilling light in his eyes.

"Besides, the Lord is openly rebelling against Sui, and there is no second way to go!"

Wang Shichong lowered his head in frustration, deeply regretting his original decision.

"I am also Li Lingzhi, otherwise I would not have been instigated by you to rebel against Sui, now that Your Majesty is in the city, everything is over, open the city gate and surrender!"

"Bang!"

You Chuhong stomped his cane on the ground, and the palace was surrounded by loud noises, and Wang Shichong trembled with fright.

"Lord, now we have no choice but to resist to the end, don't forget, rebellion is a great sin for the Nine Clans!"

Wang Shichong said in fear: "If Your Majesty captures Luoyang, will you and I be able to save the Nine Clans?"

"Now we might as well take the initiative to surrender, maybe Your Majesty will be magnanimous and can be dealt with lightly!"

You Chuhong sneered and replied disdainfully: "How can Yang Guang's faint monarch be merciful, instead of expecting his kindness, it is better to make a last fight!"

Wang Shichong's eyes lit up and said, "Does Old Lady You have a strategy to defend against the enemy!"

"Yang Guang's army of King Qin is only 70,000, our army has 200,000, plus Luoyang is dangerous to defend, no matter how powerful Yang Guang is, he can't take Luoyang in a moment, not to mention that we still have the Great Sui royal family in hand, Yang Guang probably won't dare to attack!"

"But I heard that Yang Guangwu is very brave, and he has single-handedly connected fifteen cities, and the army is invincible everywhere he passes!"

You Chuhong said firmly: "That must be a rumor, what is Yang Guang's faint monarch like, don't you know yet?" That must be his ploy to confuse the enemy, and the Lord cannot believe it! ”

"Lord, now you should go to the city tower to face Yang Guang and boost the morale of our army!"

"What!?" Wang Shichong was shocked: "I'm not going, I'm not going, I won't see Your Majesty when I die!"

You Chuhong stomped his cane on the ground again, but this time the sound was not loud, but it had some concentrating effect.

"Don't be afraid, Lord, the old woman will definitely protect your safety, besides, if we bring Yang Guang's son with us, I forgive him for not daring to mess around!"

Wang Shichong's mind was calmer, and he knew that he couldn't hide, so he could only nod and agree, but added:

"Take Yang Guang's crown prince with him as a talisman, and the other princes will be pressed in the palace, in case there is a change in the city tower, kill everyone and bury them!"

You Chuhong glanced at Wang Shichong unexpectedly.

"Sure enough, no one who can get mixed up to this point is a fool!" You Chuhong thought secretly.

Wang Shi pressed Yang Guang's eldest son, and Yang Zhao, the prince of the Great Sui, came to the top of the city tower and saw Yang Guang proudly isolated under the city at a glance.

"Father!" As soon as Yang Zhao saw Yang Guang, he shouted loudly: "Father save me!"

"Shut up!" Yang Guanghu glared at his son, the two were obviously far apart, but Yang Zhao had a feeling of coldness on his back.

"How can the descendants of the Yang family be so weak, even if they die, they will straighten my back!"

Yang Guang's words made Wang Shichong's heart chill, worried that he would blindly attack the city regardless of his son's safety.

"Yang Guang, your son has been pressed in the palace by me, don't mess around, otherwise I will take your prince jealous knife first."

"Humph!" Yang Guang snorted angrily and said angrily: "Wang Shichong, I trust you very much, and handed over the national capital Luoyang to you to guard, but you are not grateful, openly rebelled, and detained the royal family, you are guilty!"

Yang Guang was not angry and arrogant, the emperor's anger was vigorous, and Wang Shichong, who was frightened, almost collapsed to the ground.
