In July of the twelfth year of the Great Cause, Yang Guang visited Xingjiangdu for the third time.

In the fourteenth year of the Great Cause, that is, in the second year of Yining of the Tang Army, in the late spring of March, when Li Shimin and Li Yaoshi led the army to the west of Luoyang, Yang Guang had been in Jiangdu for 20 months, but he had no intention of leaving at all.

Most of the officers and men accompanying him came from the north, and everyone was looking forward to returning north as soon as possible.

Yang Guang knew that the world had long fallen apart, and the rivers were declining.

The 50-year-old emperor refused to face the decadence he had inflicted, and could only escape reality by becoming more and more obscene and indulging in wine.

At this time, he was determined to lose, and he had a premonition that the end was approaching, so he often took a self-portrait in the mirror, and sighed to Queen Xiao and his close ministers: "Good head and neck, who should cut it!" ”

In March of this year, Yu Wenhua contacted his brother Yu Wenzhi and digital courtiers, went straight to the emperor's inner room, and captured Yang Guang.

Yang Guang said angrily: "I do have a negative impact on the people. As for your generation, you have both glory and luxury, why is this so! Who is at the head of today's events? ”

Yu Wenhua did not answer, and only ordered Feng Deyi to read out the guilt.

Yang Guang angrily reprimanded: "Feng Qing is a scholar, how can he be the same as them? ”

Feng Deyi was so ashamed for a while that he didn't dare to speak.

Yu Wenhua and ordered people to kill the royal descendants around Yang Guang, and the blood splashed directly on the emperor's robe; Then he ordered Yang Guang to be killed.

After the emperor collapsed, Yu Wenhua and Yang Xiu, the fourth son of Emperor Wen of Sui, could not get the consent of everyone who started the incident.

So he set up Yang Hao, the son of Yang Jun, the third son of Emperor Wen of Sui, as the emperor, and punished the rest of the royal family.

He ordered Chen Ling to guard the Jiangdu, and he led the fleet, which had long been without food and wages, to rob houses and houses all the way, and leave Jiangdu along the canal.

Yang Guang died, and Empress Xiao ordered the palace people to take down the bed mat and wrap the body, and then dismantle the bed board to make a coffin and bury it hastily.

After Yu Wenhua and led the army to leave, Chen Ling found the emperor's coffin, prepared the etiquette of the Son of Heaven, and buried it under the platform of Wu Gong in the west of Jiangdu Palace.

He also buried the princes who died at that time on both sides of the tomb.

It was not until the seventh year of Wude, after Pharmacist Li exterminated Fugong Qi, that Li Tang reburied Emperor Yang of Sui in Leitang, Yangzhou.

That's a later story, and that's at the time.

The news of Yang Guang's murder spread to the eastern capital of Luoyang, and Wang Shichong and several important ministers supported Yang Tong, the king of Yue, as emperor.

The news came to Chang'an, Xijing, and Li Yuan responded to the story and gave a perfunctory courtesy.

The puppet emperor Yang Yu obeyed Li Yuan's wishes, promoted him to the throne of Xiangguo, led Baikui, and awarded the gift of Jiuxi.

"Jiuxi" is the highest reward awarded by the emperor to important ministers after the two Han Dynasty and the two Jin Dynasty, including nine kinds of ritual utensils that can only be used by the Son of Heaven.

He was once subjected to Jiuxi's important ministers, such as Wang Mang, Cao Cao, Sima Zhao, Yang Jian, etc., and later either himself or his children usurped the throne.

At this time, Li Yuan clearly expressed his readiness to practice Zuo.

He ordered all military horses from all walks of life to return to Beijing immediately, in order to prepare for the conquest of the national thief Yu culture.

At that time, Li Jiancheng sent a letter to Guguan and had not yet arrived at the front line; Li Yuanji in Taiyuan; Liu Wenjing in Tongguan; Li Xiaogong in Shannan; There are also Zhan Jun and Li Zhonggon in Bashu. They received the edict and immediately returned to Chang'an.

Only Li Shimin is now on the front line west of Luoyang.

What he is facing is not only Wang Shichong of Luoyang.

At that time, Li Mi had two warehouses in Liyang and Luokou, and was leading the Wagang army to besiege Luoyang. And the Tang army came west and had already confronted Li Mi in the north of Luoyang.

In addition, Yu Wenhua left Jiangdu along the canal, and after arriving in Xuzhou, due to the lack of waterway, he changed to a land route and came from the southeast towards Luoyang.

Its outpost is south of Luoyang, and it is gradually approaching the Tang army. Therefore, Li Shimin's Tang army was attacked on three sides.

Compared with Chang'an, the distance from Jiangdu to Luoyang is much closer.

Therefore, Luoyang got the news of the change in Jiangdu, and it was also a few days earlier than Chang'an.

As soon as Li Shimin received the report, he expected that his father would withdraw his troops in preparation for the grand ceremony.

But at this time, if he suddenly returned to the teacher, he would be attacked by Wang Shichong, Li Mi, Yu Wenhua and the three parties. How should the withdrawal proceed?

Li Shimin naturally wanted to discuss with Pharmacist Li.

At that time, the Chinese army had left Xin'an and Yiyang and was stationed forty miles west of Luoyang City.

Pharmacist Li took advantage of the dust accumulated on the case in the account, and sprinkled a simple map with his hand to analyze the situation of the enemy and the enemy, and suggested luring Yu Wenhua and attacking Li Mi's granary.

After Li Shimin praised the "incisive", Pharmacist Li pointed out that the withdrawal of troops must be guarded against Duanda, so Li Shimin then asked how to return to the division?

Pharmacist Li pointed to the southwest of Luoyang on the map: "There are four tombs of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty kings in the mountains in this area, and one mountain in the west is independent, which is the tomb of the Zhou Ling king; The three mountains in the east are side by side, and the king of Zhou Jing, the king of mourning, and the king of Jing are buried, which is the "Mausoleum of the Three Kings". The mountains in its place are winding and undulating, which is "Zhou Mountain"; There is also "Zhou Valley" under it, which is the Eastern Zhou Dynasty Caiyi. Its valley is intricately intertwined, and each valley can hide 10,000 people. Back then, Sun Jian set up an ambush here and defeated Dong Zhuo. ”

Li Shimin nodded frequently.

I only heard Pharmacist Li continue: "Duan Da is suspicious and indecisive, but he is brave and aggressive. If I set up camp, he will come after him, and he will lead him into the valley. I first set up an ambush in the valley, and mixed the banners of Yuwen, Li Mi, and Wang Shichong..."

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but praise loudly.

Duan Da's temperament is wandering and cowardly, and the Book of Sui says that he is "light on thieves, and his name is 'Duan Ma'".

Pharmacist Li only said "suspicious, guessing, indecisive", which is really polite.

What's more, he and Wang Shichong are still suspicious of each other!

Therefore, this arrangement, Duan Da must be successful.

Li Shimin suddenly felt for a moment, and only then did he appreciate the mystery of Li Yaoshi's hills and ravines and the wonder of the art of war, and he was greatly overwhelmed at the time, and bowed solemnly: "Mr. is really a god and a man!" ”

Pharmacist Li hurriedly bowed down and returned the salute.

Two days later, the ambush was completed.

The Tang army retreated, Duan Da found out, and sure enough, he led his troops to chase after him.

He entered the Mausoleum of the Three Kings, first met Yuwen Qi, and then met Li Mi Daxu.

But seeing the mountains and smoke barriers everywhere, every time the valley is roundabout, there are deer and horses resisting.

Duan Da is old, his eyes and ears are dizzy, and he seems to see all the ways out, but he is obstructed layer by layer.

was advancing and retreating, and he heard Wang Shichong's horn, a mountain and valley, mixed with the noisy cry of "capture Grandma Duan alive".

Duan Da rushed around indiscriminately, his own soldiers and horses were mixed, and the number of dead and wounded was unknown.

At this time, I saw Tang Shi's banner overturned, the drum unveiled the sky, above the top in front of him, under the crank umbrella, Li Shimin and Li Yaoshi were sitting opposite each other and raising their glasses, drinking happily.

Duan Da was furious, slapped his horse and rushed violently, and he actually lost his horse's front hoof. The soldiers struggled to rescue him and fled in disarray.

Tang Shi's team galloped in light horses and chased Duan Da directly to Luoyang City, but he did not take it seriously.

The defenders of the eastern capital closed the west gate in a hurry, not daring to fight again.

The news of Duan Da's defeat reached Wang Shichong, Li Mi, Yu Wenhua and their ears, and no one dared to chase after the Tang army, so Li Shimin calmly returned to his division.

Duan Da was completely annihilated in this battle, and he was only spared.
