When he saw the messenger, not only Yang Xuan was dumbfounded, but Li Mi also felt that he was a little worried. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The messenger sent by Yang Zhiji was a white-haired old man, who looked not eighty but seventy-nine, and walked hobbled to Yang Xuangan's horse with an ox cart.

Yang Xuangan saw that there was something that seemed to be boxy on the simple flatbed ox cart, covered with a piece of green cloth, and guessed in his heart that this might be a gift from Yang Zhiji.

"Little Lao'er meets General Yang. The old man trembled and bowed to Yang Xuangan.

Yang Xuangan waved his hand on the horse and said, "My husband doesn't have to be polite, I don't know what gift you gave to Ben Shuai because Mrs. Yang kept his orders?"

The old man straightened up unhurriedly, took a step to the side, and pointed to the cattle lane: "Yang Taishou's gift is in the car, what it is, the general will know at a glance." ”

"Brother Xuangan, be careful. Li Mi heard the old man say that he wanted Yang Xuangan to go and see the gift by himself, and a trace of vigilance arose in his heart.

Yang Xuangan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have my own opinions." ”

With that, he took a few steps forward, put the steel spear hanging on the horse in his right hand, and gently picked up the green cloth covered by the ox cart.

After the green cloth was lifted, a stone tablet appeared underneath. When Yang Xuangan saw the style of the stele, his face changed greatly, and he was busy looking at the words on the stele, and when he saw the words in the stele clearly, "The Tomb of Yang Gong Su in the History of the Duke of Sui and Chu", his eyes were dark, and he almost fell off the horse.

"Dashuai!" the left and right relatives were shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

Yang Xuan felt a certain sense of certainty, jumped off the horse steeply, strode to the old man, grabbed the placket of his chest and lifted it in the air, his face was distorted and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Old horseman, why is my father's tombstone in your car?"

The old man's expression was still calm, and he said slowly: "Yang Taishou heard that you were plotting rebellion, and he has ordered the excavation of your Yang family's ancestral grave, and the ancestors of your Yang family will be crushed and ashes. The family of the rebellious ministers and thieves should never be able to live forever!"

"How dare a dog thief do this? I won't kill you, I won't be a man!" Yang Xuangan roared like thunder, his blood-red eyes stared at the old man and said, "Who are you? Why do you dare to appear in front of Ben Shuai?"

The old man sneered: "The old man is just an old man from Hongnong, and he is already in his last years, so why is he afraid of death?"

"Since you have come to seek death, Ben Shuai will fulfill you!" Yang Xuan screamed, and threw the old man on the ox cart with both arms.

He was already very strong, and in a fit of rage, he smashed the ox cart to the ground, and the old man broke his tendons and died on the spot.

"The whole army listens to the order!" Yang Xuangan flew on his horse and raised his gun and shouted wildly, "Immediately turn to attack Hongnong, and after capturing this city, all the women's gold silks will be used by you!"

When the rebel soldiers heard this order, their eyes lit up with greedy flames, and they suddenly responded: "Obey the order of the commander!"

Li Mi was shocked, hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the reins of Yang Xuangan's horse, and eagerly persuaded: "Brother Xuangan, this is obviously Yang Zhiji's plan to lure the enemy. How can a general be a teacher because of a moment of anger? Don't forget that we don't have much time......

"Let go!" At this moment, Yang Xuangan's face was no longer furious, only a trace of coldness remained, "As a descendant of the Yang family, if you can't snow this shame, how can you be a human being?"

Li Mi was stunned and speechless, and the hand holding the reins of the horse was finally powerless to let go.

Yang Xuangan didn't say a word, added a whip hard, and led the army that had been impatient because he coveted the golden silk of the woman he promised, and went straight to the direction of Hongnong.

"Sir, this Yang Xuan is so ignorant of current affairs!" Wang Bodang, who stayed by Li Mi's side loyally, was indignant, "I heard that he raised an army against Sui, and Mr. immediately gave up everything and rushed to offer him advice, but this person repeatedly abandoned Mr.'s golden and good words, and he deserved to be defeated!"

Li Mi shook his head and said nothing, and only after a while did he say a little lonely: "Bodang, let's go!"

Wang Bodang asked in surprise, "Where is the gentleman going to go?"

Li Mi smiled bitterly: "Brother Xuangan has fallen for the enemy's tricks, and he will definitely die if he goes here." Helping him for his teacher is also considered to be a friend, but he is not so martyred. This time, there seems to be a master on the Sui army's side, and the design strategies are interlocking, forcing Xuangan into a desperate situation step by step. In the future, as a teacher, I will have a contest with this person, and avenge today's revenge for Xuangan!"

Yang Xuangan led his troops to Hongnong, only to find that Yang Zhiji had cleared the wilderness and waited for a long time in Shenchi Gaocheng.

Seeing that Yang Xuan felt it, Yang Zhiji immediately sent more than a dozen long, strong, and middle-spirited soldiers with a big voice to stand in a row at the head of the city, and scolded Yang Xuangan's eighteenth generation ancestors from front to back and back to front for several rounds. This scolding is shown in the hands of masters, and it is by no means just blindly foul language, but every sentence, every sentence and word is quoted from the scriptures, which is reasonable and modest.

Yang Xuangan listened to the scolding of the city head, and his face, which had regained his calmness, changed again, and pointed at the city head with a spear and shouted: "If you don't slaughter this city today, I, Yang Xuangan, swear not to be a person!"

Because they were on an urgent march, the rebels did not carry any heavy siege equipment, but cut down trees on the way to Hongnong and built more than a dozen crude ladders.

Hearing Yang Xuangan's order, the rebels immediately carried the more than ten ladders and began to storm the city wall.

Yang Zhiji, who was at the head of the city, looked at the rebels who were densely packed like a large group of ants below, and sighed and said to a person beside him: "A tombstone and a set of scolding words will trap Yang Xuangan's tens of thousands of troops in Hongnong, what kind of person is that golden cicada?"

That person was an envoy sent by Fan Zigai from Luoyang, and he said with a smile: "Jin Chanzi is a merchant from the Western Regions, and now he is only fourteen years old. ”

Yang Zhiji sighed: "It's always my Great Sui that the country is prosperous, and Your Majesty is blessed with all the heavens, so the heavens sent down this young hero to save the crisis." ”

said beautiful words in his mouth, but Yang Zhiji secretly complained in his heart. He was born in the royal family, and knew that the current emperor Yang Guang was suspicious, and he had always been obscure and showed his face as greedy for wine and lust. But now a ploy of the golden cicada forced him to stand up and show his edge, otherwise the bait used to trap Yang Xuangan might really be swallowed.

A tragic siege campaign has officially begun. The rebels had the advantage of troops, and because Yang Xuangan promised to slaughter and plunder the city, their morale was also quite high; the Sui army had a strong city, and Yang Zhiji had made preparations in advance, and all kinds of materials for defending the city were piled up. Yang Xuangan was born in the general's family, and although he was furious, he commanded the rebels to attack the city, but he had a clear eye and was well versed in the way of using troops; Yang Zhiji also showed surprising talent, and commanded the army and civilians to dispatch materials in an orderly manner at the head of the city.

The two sides have their own advantages, and they are evenly matched, one attack and one defense repeatedly tug-of-war, and the fierce battle for three days in a row is undecided.

After spending three days under the city, Yang Xuangan's mind finally cleared up, and he felt that something was wrong and was ready to withdraw his troops and continue to move westward according to the original plan.

But it was too late, and the two Sui armies came from the east and west. One was pursued from Luoyang, and Fan Zigai, who stayed in the eastern capital, was personally in command, and the other was sent from Chang'an to rescue Luoyang, led by Wen Sheng, the guard who stayed in Xijing.

The two-way army and Hongnong Jiancheng formed an unbreakable triangular formation, trapping Yang Xuangan's rebels in the heart.

Yang Xuan felt that the situation was not good, because Li Mi had already left, so he hurriedly asked Yan Wuque and the other four to see if they could help him get out.

When the man went for a short time, he returned in a panic to report that Yan Wuque and the others had disappeared.

Yang Xuan was shocked, and his heart immediately fell to the bottom of the well.
