After Li Jing captured Nanhai County, Gao Buer immediately sent a fleet of five sea ships to the south, not only to transport grain and grass, but also to allow Li Jing to attack Jiankang by sea, and at the same time he was also ready to lead his troops to the south by land. But a major event happened in Jiangdu, Yang Guang was killed by Yu Wenhua.

When Yang Guang toured the south, the army led into the capital were all children of Guanzhong, and his parents and brothers were in the north, and it was almost two years, and he did not see the emperor have the intention of returning to Beijing, and heard that Guanzhong was stolen by anti-thieves, and the army was homesick, and there were many escapees, but they were captured and killed by Yang Guang.

No one dared to run away, but the more oppressed they were, the more they resisted. Slowly, the generals of the forbidden army also have those who are ready to move.

Among them, Sima Dejiao, the general of the five Benlangs, was the most active, and he took advantage of the eagerness of his subordinates to return to the north, on the one hand, to win the hearts of the people, and on the other hand, to send people to other military camps to carry out activities, and successively won over a large number of generals of the forbidden army.

Later, Yuwen Zhihe, Yu Wenhua and the two brothers also joined in.

One day, everyone gathered together, Wu Benlang said to Yuanli: "Many of my subordinates, I heard that the emperor wants to build another palace according to Chang'an, it seems that he does not plan to return to the north, there is no way, he is a good man and is planning to escape, I will report it, Your Majesty will definitely kill them all again, that is equivalent to being killed by me indirectly, if you don't report it, it will be a big crime to find out that you are robbing your family and destroying the door." ”

Another general, Pei Dao: "My subordinates are probably like this, think about it and understand, who doesn't want to go home?" The other generals also chimed in.

When Sima Dejiao saw that the situation was like this, he felt that the time had come, but he said: "As soon as I heard everyone, I was even more panicked, or when the time comes, let's all run together, and Li Yuan, the most unfortunate person who defects to Tang Guogong, can also eat." ”

Yu Wenzhi kicked over a few cases and said angrily: "The big husband walks in the world, how can he send people under the fence, and now the anti-Sui people are all over the world, and we have 1340,000 male soldiers in our hands, if we don't fight, won't we live in vain." ”

Everyone looked at Yuwen Zhiji together, in fact, they have been preparing to oppose Sui, but they have been suffering from not having a leader, Yuwen Zhiji's words are in line with everyone's wishes, since you Yuwen Zhihe proposed it first, then you will be everyone's leading brother.

Yuwen Zhiji was not stupid and hurriedly refused: "I have a lot of bravery, and I can't be a leader, I recommend my third brother Yu Wenhua and lead this head." ”

I'm sorry, I was at the bottom of the line at home, and I've been squeezed by you, and now you think of me, this is a deal to put your head on the waistband of your pants, buddy don't be fooled. Yu Wenhua hurriedly said: "Hua and his qualifications are very shallow, and it is difficult to defeat your lords and generals, in case of any event, in order not to delay our plans, I also ask you to recommend another virtuous." ”

Sima Dejiao said: "Brother Shi's words are wrong, you are my first hero of the Great Sui Dynasty after Yu Wenmou, you have always won Yang Guangqi's respect, regarded as a cronie, we just took advantage of this to successfully take the palace, you also know, the king of Chu in Hangzhou, Jiangnan Gao Buer has hundreds of thousands of troops, Wang Shichong has 50,000 or 60,000 troops in Luoyang, and there is also a Wagang army in the north, if we can't take the palace for a long time, it will be a catastrophe, and please don't shirk." ”

"yes, yes."

"You can barely make it difficult."

"For the sake of the big guys, you should work hard."

Yu Wenhua is used to being high-flying and domineering, and he loves to do things like dogs and people, and now he sees that everyone is willing to respect him as the leader, and it is a steady and win-win deal, and finally he did this leading brother half-pushed.

Everyone agreed to start tonight, with Sima Dejiao leading an army of 50,000 to guard the gates of Jiangdu, not allowing the forbidden army outside the city to enter the city, Yu Wenhua and others led the army to attack the palace, and Pei Tong, who was on duty in the palace tonight, responded.

Jiangdu Palace, it was his cronies who carried out the task of guarding the emperor's safety, and the leader of Xiaoguowei was Sima Dejia, so the time had passed, and Yu Wenhua and others occupied Jiangdu Palace without blood. At this time, Yang Guangzheng was feasting with a group of concubines, and when he saw Yu Wenhua and others coming in wearing armor and holding swords, although he was shocked, he still said with an unchanged face: "It's so late, the secretaries have not been summoned, what is the matter?" ”

Yu Wenzhi said: "Yang Guang, don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, you kill your father and adulterous mother, you are not as good as a beast, and you are so happy, and the people of the world are miserable, today we execute you on behalf of justice and the people of the world." ”

Yang Guang pushed away the beauty in his arms, got up and said, "Your Yuwen family can't get out of my affairs, do you want to drag your old father out of the grave and whip the corpse." Besides, since I ascended the throne, have I ever owed you the Yuwen family? ”

Yu Wenhua and Ben are people of wine and meat, and they were a little instigated by Yang Guangyi's question, and they dodged back, and Yu Wenzhi was extremely despised.

Yu Wenzhi raised his head and said to Yang Guang: "When death is coming, we won't say much about the grievances of our brothers, you take your life." ”

"Wait!" Yang Guang stopped: "I am incompetent as an emperor, so that the army of cronies is against me, but after all, I am the emperor, and I must die decently, and I don't have to work hard for you." ”

With that, he took out the poison that had been prepared in his sleeve and drank it in one gulp, ending his controversial life. After Yang Guang's death, Yu Wenzhi and other Dasuo Palace slaughtered all the royal family members, but they did not find Empress Xiao and her prince, and everyone did not have time to find it again, so they immediately hung Yang Guang's body at the gate of Jiangdu Palace, and at the same time spread the message to the army in Jiangdu to stabilize the morale of the army.

Hearing that the emperor was killed by the rebellious ministers and thieves, the army loyal to the emperor in the Jiangdu forbidden army immediately raised troops to attack the city, but the disparity between the strength of the enemy and us was huge, and the last part crossed the river to Hangzhou to join the king of Chu, Gao Buer, and part went to Luoyang to join Wang Shichong.

And with the army south, there was also Yu Shinan, one of the twenty-four heroes of the Tang Dynasty, and soon after, the troops loyal to the Sui court in the world gathered in Hangzhou, and the troops of Gao Buer's subordinates increased greatly, with as many as 2440,000.

Five days after Yang Guang was killed, Yu Wenhua and Yang Hao, the son of King Qin Xiao, became puppets, and he proclaimed himself a hussar general, dominating the palace, and laughing at Yang Guang's harem. Wang Shichong, who was in Luoyang, was not far behind, and directly supported Yang Tong as the emperor and fought against him.

Five days later, Empress Xiao returned to Hangzhou and asked Gao Buer to take her to collect Yang Guang's body, Gao Buer thought about it for a long time, and in order to stabilize the army's heart, he personally led an army of 100,000 Chen soldiers on the south bank of the Yangtze River, demanding Yu Wenhua and returning Yang Guang's body, and if he did not agree, he would go to war.

Yu Wenhua had to balance the internal contradictions on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had to face Wang Shichong and Wagang Army, so he had no skills, so he prepared a thin coffin for Yang Guang and gave it to Gao Fuji.

After welcoming Yang Guang's corpse, he carried out a simple funeral according to the request of Empress Xiao, and then Empress Xiao refused the request of the Sui Dynasty to cross the river and the officials to preside over the overall situation, and went overseas.

Before leaving, Empress Xiao said to the officials: "Your Majesty has died, the Great Sui Mansion will fall, you will follow the King of Chu closely, if you have other plans, you will not be embarrassed if you want to come to the King of Chu, and you will cherish each other." ”

As soon as Empress Xiao left, all the officials immediately gathered in the palace of the king of Chu, and waited for Gao Buer to take the idea, and after Gao Buer and them analyzed the general trend of the world, he appeased them to stabilize first, and then pacified the rebellious ministers and thieves in the south first, and then considered the Northern Expedition.

Everyone also knew that Gao Buer had been marching south in accordance with Yang Guang's will, and victory was in sight, and the Northern Expedition was indeed not the right time at this time, so they all agreed with Gao Buer's opinion and agreed to obey the orders of the King of Chu.

In this way, the officials who defected from the Sui Dynasty did solve the embarrassing situation that Gao Buer had no one available, and all the counties that had been pacified in the south needed to send officials, and those with excellent character and intelligence were selected to immediately let him take office, and at the same time appointed Yu Shinan as the general of the former army.
