Chapter 487 Conspiracy
(Thanks to Jiang 1, the Chinese Tiger Army, Zui Xiao, capital c, Olytis Warhammer's total war for your support, thank you very much!)
The northern capital is Taiyuan, the original western city is now the imperial city, and the Jinyang Palace in the imperial city. ←
Before the new emperor's death was over, Yang Yong in the hall had already given up his mourning clothes. He even took off his clothes on his body and lay naked in the hall with his head resting on the white and tender thighs of a beauty with only a gauze. The other two young beauties were just veiled, half-folded and half-covered, and they knelt on both sides beside him, gently tapping his thick and hairy thighs for him.
The precious ambergris is burned in the copper crane incense burner in a corner of the hall, adding a bit of intoxicating and lewd atmosphere to the hall.
A sound of light footsteps came from afar, and a beautiful man in red robe stepped into the hall, walked to Yang Yong, and handed a letter.
"Is it Yang Xiu's letter again?" Yang Yong swallowed the wine that a beauty leaned over and fed him to him, shook his head, sneered disdainfully, and reached out to take the letter from the woman in red robe. In his early years, Yang Yong secretly established his own Black Iron Guard, who made many contributions, but few people know that he actually had another secret force, that is, the Red Iron Guard composed of beautiful women. These women were all selected and recruited from various places, and secretly trained in the name of cultivating maids in the East Palace, becoming a secret force in his hands.
The letter was sent back by Yang Xiu from Daxing, and the content was also very concise.
"His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty ordered the decree of the crown prince and re-elected the title of King Huai, feudal Huainan, and established the capital of Yangzhou to protect the vassals of the imperial court. He specially ordered the King Huai to lead his army to attack Yang Guang in the south and be loyal to the country. This brother's opportunity to redeem his merits and demerits is also a matter that his wife and children have been looking forward to. The brother should immediately go south and advance eastward, and hope for the three brothers. Go eastward immediately, advance eastward, advance eastward! When the brother captured Yang Guang for the country, it was the time when I sent my brother's family to reunite with him."
Yang Yong looked at it for a while and returned the release to the woman in red robe, "It's burned!"
Yang Yong did not bring his family with his army during this Northern Expedition. When Yang Xiu attacked in Beijing, all the Eastern Palace fell into Yang Xiu's hands. His four beautiful concubines, ten sons, and many beauties fell into Yang Xiu's hands. Yang Xiu threatened his wife and children, making him surrender to Daxing, and asked him to lead troops to attack Yang Guang in Yangzhou. Yang Yong believed that Yang Xiu could do everything. He killed the emperor, so what else could he not do in the world? This kid was named King of Yue in his early years, and later changed to King of Shu, and he was always in charge of Shu. The sky was high and the emperor was far away.
No one cared about it, so he developed a cruel personality. The late emperor once told the queen at a royal party that Yang Xiu's temper would definitely not end well. When I was alive, I should not have to worry. But after I died, his brother succeeded to the throne. Yang Xiu would definitely rebel. However, Yang Jian still did not see through Yang Xiu completely and underestimated his cruelty and madness. He actually killed the lord and the father and usurped the throne. Yang Yong had heard of many cruel actions by Yang Yong in Shu before, such as sometimes for fun, he actually had a death row prisoner, and so on.
He felt Yang Xiu's threats, but he could not agree. His wife and children are naturally important, but how can they be more important than the throne? A woman can be remarried when she is gone, and a son can be reborn when she is gone, but there is only one throne in the world.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" A loud shout came from outside. An official in a purple robe rushed in from outside, tripped under his feet, and knelt on the ground. "There are many palace maids outside wearing armor and swords coming over!"
The sound of footsteps came from outside, but it was not confusing, but the sound of footsteps was neat.
Yang Yong was still calm on the beauty's white legs, "What's the matter? The beauty who came here is my red robe guard, and I summoned her."
"I am ignorant and disturbed Your Majesty and was sentenced to death."
Yang Yong raised one hand and waved his hand, "Those who don't know are innocent, I ask you, how are they?"
"What?"
"I ask you how my red-robed guards?"
"It's very beautiful!" Liu Zhen, the former scholar of the East Palace who was newly appointed as the Minister of Internal Affairs, quickly replied.
Yang Yong laughed loudly, "They are not just beautiful, but the most powerful killers. Just now, Prime Minister Gao had sent someone to send back the news that the prince had left Mayi and left the army of 200,000 outside the pass. He led the guards to follow Gao to Yanmen Pass. Tomorrow, the prince will enter the court. Tomorrow, I will summon the prince in Jinyang Palace. At that time, these beauties will perform a sword dance for His Highness the Prince and dance the sword for the prince." Yang Yong said that the word "Criminal" was gritting his teeth, and when he talked about sword dancing, he showed a smug smile on his face.
"Yang Lin's swordsmanship is said to be good, and his spear skills are especially good. He once got the name of a white horse and silver spear in the green forest on the block. Later, he killed Tieler people in Huaihuang and got the name of Yi Hu. Don't underestimate the enemy's carelessness!"
The beautiful man with red robe who came in to deliver the letter just now stood there coldly, and replied in an equally frozen voice, "I have been waiting for hard training for many years, and I have been waiting for a long time, and the sword has long been sharp!"
Yang Yong nodded, "What I want is this confidence, but remember, what I want is you to subdue and capture the prince, but don't hurt his life. Although I hate this evil bastard, he is more useful to live now than to die. I don't want him to die immediately. Then the 300,000 troops under his command would be a big trouble, do you understand?"
"Yes." The woman in red robe replied.
"You have to hear it clearly. I want Yang Lin to live. I want him to live forever. Let him just look at me, watch me wipe out all the traitors, and watch me rule the world."
"yes."
"Okay." Yang Yong nodded, "You go and prepare. There is still one day for you. In a day, I will see Yang Lin kneeling in front of me."
April 16th, sunny.
In the darkness before dawn, drums and bells were heard in the distance.
Yi Feng faced the map spread on the mat and pointed it at the sword, while the others knelt around.
"Yanmen Pass is still three hundred miles away from Taiyuan, and the two states of Xin are separated by the middle. Among them, there are extremely dangerous Shiling, Chitang and Tianmen Passes to the north of Taiyuan. And even Taiyuan City is still extremely dangerous and is the most powerful fortress in the north. We must have a detailed plan!"
"There are still 50,000 soldiers and horses outside Taiyuan, and there are 100,000 soldiers and horses in Taiyuan City. There are also 100,000 soldiers and horses in Yanmen Pass, and they are led by Han Shuai. Now, all of these 100,000 soldiers and horses have been submitted to His Highness. The 50,000 soldiers and horses outside Taiyuan are led by the new Minister of Personnel, the left and right general Yu Wenbi, the chariot and cavalry general, Yan Pi, stationed in Shiling Pass, and the cavalry general, and the cavalry general.
The army Shen Fubao stationed in Chitang Pass, and the general He Feng stationed in Tianmen Pass. He Ruobi led 100,000 troops in Taiyuan, among which Cui Junchuo and Xiahou Fu divided the troops outside the city." Gao Yang reported on the defense situation in Taiyuan. It can be said that Gao Yang sold out Yanmen Pass, and Han Sengshou led 100,000 troops in Yanmen to surrender, which had lost the most important layer of barrier in Taiyuan.
"He Ruobi is the top priority." Liu Wenjing said.
"He Ruobi won't be a problem." Gao Feng was very confident.
"It's better to be cautious, there is only one chance. If an accident happens and the prince flees in panic, it will be a pity for us." Yi Feng said. Although there is no Yang Yong, Gao Yong and He Ruobi and others can seize Taiyuan and take control of the middle official army. However, Yang Yong's identity is very important, especially when the kings are fighting for throne at this time, Yang Yong represents orthodoxy. Yi Feng controls Yang Yong and takes his banner to fight against rebellion, it will be easier and can get more support. If Yang Yong runs away and causes a scene of father-son dispute, Yang Guang will take the matter of his illegitimate son. Although Yi Feng is still Yi Feng, in terms of the name of the great righteousness, in terms of public opinion, he will not be able to gain a comprehensive advantage over Yang Xiu and Yang Guang. Yang Yong is stupid, but now he has great value in use and will help take over Yang Yong's court's troops and territory.
"What does Your Highness mean?" Gao Yang asked.
"Don't contact He Ruobi for the time being. We will quickly march towards Taiyuan as soon as it dawns. Let's talk about it when we reach Shiling Pass in Xinzhou. Perhaps if we are lucky, we can march smoothly to Taiyuan City under the names of Prime Minister Gao and Han Shuai. Then we will talk to Marshal He Ruo. I believe he should be able to support us." Yi Feng said with a smile. Although the three passes of Taiyuan are dangerous, they can still pass Yanmen Pass? With traitors like Gao Feng and Han Sengshou, the defense on the outer edge of Taiyuan can be said to be of no use.
Han Sengshou told Yi Feng, "If He Ruobi doesn't know the current affairs at that time, we will go directly to Taiyuan City. There are our people in Taiyuan City, who can work inside and outside to directly control the emperor and ask him to issue an edict to He Ruobi to hand over the military power."
It was a little dawn, and Yanmen Pass City, a group of soldiers and horses were moving, with neat teams, shiny armor, spears like forests, and flags like seas.
Nearly 300,000 troops gathered together and headed south.
Shiling Pass at the border of Xin Dai, the extremely dangerous pass among the three passes of Taiyuan. The important pass between Yanmen Pass and Taiyuan did not play a role in blocking Taiyuan. The army stopped advancing twenty miles outside the pass. Gao Yang and thousands of horses shouted at the city under the city, saying that they were asking the prince to enter the court at the emperor's will. The guards at the pass had no doubts and asked someone to open the city gate. Gao Yang led his troops into the pass, and then took over the city. The army behind him arrived, and the city changed hands.
The same is true for Chitang Pass, and then Tianmen Pass, the same trick is repeated.
On April 18, Yi Feng led a large army to the north of Taiyuan City under the moonlit night.
Gao Yang was riding a horse and fell behind Yi Feng. Looking at the Taiyuan Xiong City shrouded in the night, Gao Yang said, "Master He Ruo will contact the inner responders in the city and open the city gate. I will personally go to the camp outside the city to explain Marshal He Ruo."
"In fact, the prime minister doesn't have to go there in person. A handwritten letter is enough. Even if He Ruobi can't see the situation clearly, as long as we open the Taiyuan city gate first, how can he turn the world back?" Yi Feng said.
"The old minister is sure. If I go there in person, He Ruobi should be able to understand the situation."
Han Sengshou led Li Jing to the foot of Guan City, and the city was quiet. Li Jing's eyes were like swords. Han Sengshou waved his hand, and the two cavalrymen lit the torches and began to shake the flames.
A moment later, three lanterns rose from the city gate.
"It's ours. Your cousin Xiaoji is on duty tonight." Han Sengshou said to his nephew.
Li Jing nodded, "The nephew is very happy that my uncle made the right choice."
