The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 90

While the Xiaoguo Army loyal to Yu Wenhuaji was slaughtering the generals of the Sui Dynasty who helped Jiangdu City, Shen Guang and other small Sui Army General Youtunwei, who broke out from the siege, finally entered Jiangdu under the support of Dugu Sheng. city.

Dugu Sheng is a relative of the emperor and an important force of the Dugu family in the Xiaoguo Army, but he is a very upright general, loyal to his duties, and extremely hates Yu Wenhua and other rebels. Three thousand Xiaoguo and more than a thousand famous house slaves, seeing the critical situation, the old general even personally raised a gun to kill the enemy, firmly holding the south gate!
After Shen Guang and others successfully entered the city, they jointly killed the rebels in Nancheng. In less than half an hour, thousands of corpses piled up into a mountain of corpses two feet high!Then Dugu Sheng continued to defend the city, while he led two thousand soldiers to attack Jiangdu Palace!
Yu Wenhua and others found out that the news had leaked, so they sent [-] main forces out to the periphery, intending to annihilate the reinforcements and then force the palace in the middle of the night. If you have time, you can coordinate in the middle, mobilize loyal people to guard the key points, and keep a clear path for a support army.

Although the number is small, it should not be underestimated.

Palace!

Zhao Wang Yang Gao was the first to discover the anomaly. He practiced archery and martial arts every day before dinner. Today, he shot ten arrows in a row and hit the bullseye. He ran excitedly to show off to his father, but unexpectedly learned that all the guards were on vacation. This shocked Yang Gao, even if it is a holiday, it is impossible to rest all of them, at most only half of the holiday.

Although he was young, but the royal children had always been wise, coupled with the instability of the current situation, he immediately noticed something strange. When he remembered what Empress Xiao had sent people to secretly warn him many times, his whole body was not well.

He ran all the way to Yang Guang's imperial study.

After Yang Guang left government affairs, he usually hid in the imperial study as an ostrich. Reading here was a rare and pleasant time for him.

"Father!"

Yang Gao rushed into the imperial study room like a gust of wind. At this moment, he was extremely anxious, and he couldn't care less about the gentleness and respect that a prince should have.

"What's the matter?" Yang Guang hated being interrupted when he was reading, but he couldn't get angry at his children and grandchildren.

Yang Gao hurriedly said: "Father, have you given all the guards in the palace a holiday?"

Yang Guang shook his head in a daze: "How could I issue such an imperial decree? Isn't this entrusting my life and death to others?"

Yang Gao became more anxious immediately, and said loudly: "I found out that none of the guards had disappeared. They said that you let them all go on vacation, so everyone went to the city."

"what?"

Yang Guang was startled and furious. Who is so bold to fake the imperial decree? He asked angrily, "Who passed the imperial decree?"

"My son doesn't know?" Yang Gao had just finished speaking when he heard someone shouting outside: "Stop, don't go forward!"

There were dozens of personal guards around Yang Guang's imperial study room. It was their voices, and then someone shouted outside: "My lord, my ministers are Yang Yichen and General Shen Guang. The Xiaoguo army in the North Camp has completely rebelled. Shen The general led an army of [-] to rescue him, but was gathered and annihilated by more than [-] rebels in the forest in the south city, and Lai Huer and Chen Leng died in battle in the east city."

"what?"

Yang Guang stood up in surprise and walked to the window. Dozens of people were confronting his guards, and the leaders were Yang Yichen and Shen Guang, who were covered in blood.

Yang Guang's face changed greatly: "The two lovers came up to talk."

What time is it, and you still come up to talk?

Yang Yichen jumped into a rage and said, "Generals Mai Mengcai and Qian Jie defend the gate of the palace with ten times as many enemies! Dugu Sheng defends the south of the city. Once the rebels outside Jiangdu enter the city, it will be too late."

At this moment, there was a shout of killing from a distance, from the main gate, Yang Guang couldn't sit still any longer, he quickly took out two swords, and after giving one to Yang Gao, the father and son rushed downstairs: "Hurry up and take the Queen and Concubine Xiao."

"My lord, I have sent [-] old men to pick up the empress! Let everyone gather in front of the palace gate!"

"Let's go then!"

"Please Your Majesty and Your Highness put on armor!" Yang Yichen waved his hand, and the two guards presented two sets of Mingguang armor!

Yang Guang was taken aback for a moment, and then he and Zhao Wang Yang Gao let the guards wear armor,

Dressed neatly, a group of people ran wildly all the way, Yang Guang asked: "Who is plotting rebellion?"

"Yu Wenhuaji is the leader, Yuwen Zhiji, Yuan Min, Sima Dekan, Zhao Xingshu, Ma Wenju... Linghuda, Pei Qiantong and others all participated! I heard the secret report of General Mai Mengcai who sneaked into Yuwenhuaji's camp, Only then did General Shen, General Dugu, General Lai and the others be notified in advance..."

"Sneak in?" Yang Guang heard a key word.

Yang Yichen said: "Exactly! His Royal Highness the King of Qin once sent a letter from his family to the empress, saying that someone in the Peking Camp was planning to do something wrong, but the sage didn't believe it at the beginning! The empress and I passed the message through the ducks in the Yu River, and it was at that time that Mai Meng entered. I went to the Peking University Camp and secretly inquired about the news..."

At this time, Yang Guang also remembered that when Yang Yichen sent a message to himself through a court lady, he not only refused to listen, but also reprimanded the queen, saying that she alienated his relationship with Xiaoguojun, and then sent the poor court lady to give birth. shoot!

"Dong'er found it secretly?" Yang Guangda was surprised.

"It was because His Highness the King of Qin reminded me that I secretly summoned the two thousand old troops in advance. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to break in at all."

"Aiqing, what happened to Da Sui today?"

Yang Yichen told everything he knew.

The more Yang Guang heard it, the more surprised he became.

It is really amazing what Yang Yichen said. At the beginning, it was said that the Wagang Army's million-strong army occupied the Central Plains, and Yang Tan and Wang Shichong were trapped in Luoyang.Then Liu Wuzhou rebelled, and Li Yuan used war to support his great strength.

Then Li Yuan married the Dugu family, Yang Tong wiped out Liu Wuzhou, and fought with more than 30 Turkic soldiers in Mayi!
Li Yuan waited for an opportunity to rebel, and powerful people from all over the country gathered to take down the counties and counties of Hedong Road south of Taiyuan in one battle!

Song Laosheng, the guard general of Huoyi, died in battle, and the [-] elite troops in Guanzhong were wiped out!Tu Qutong and Li Yuan confronted each other in Hedong, but Li Yuan took advantage of the freezing of the Yellow River, crossed the Yellow River from Longmen, and went straight to Guanzhong!
Yang Tong also repeatedly reported that Wang Shichong used the war to consume the loyal Sui army. He had a ulterior motive and asked to be dismissed, but Yang Guang didn't know it at all!
……

Yang Guang couldn't even imagine that Shen Guang, who thought Jiangdu, where singing and dancing was peaceful, actually said that there were rebels fighting twenty miles away.

Among the many anti-kings in the world today, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers, no fewer than a dozen.

Listening to the two talking so much,
Yang Guang spat out a mouthful of blood.

He felt that he had lost too many things!I also know that the world of the Sui Dynasty is hopeless.

"Father!"

"Holy!"

Everyone was shocked!

Yang Guang heard the sound of killing outside getting closer and closer, and his mind suddenly cleared up. He smiled slightly and said, "Yang Aiqing, Shen Aiqing! Jiangdu Palace can't be defended anymore. The target of the bandit army is me. With me here, everyone escapes." Don’t go out. You, Mai Mengcai, Qian Jie, and Dugu Sheng are the last loyal ministers of Jiangdu. You should not die at the hands of the rebels. This world is broken by me, so let me take care of it. You escort King Zhao , Empress, and Concubine Xiao went north to Jizhou...to assist the Dong children to revive the mountains and rivers!"

Yang Yichen was shocked, and said: "My lord, General Zhang Zhenzhou has quietly dispatched ships into the city. As long as we get out of the palace, we can board the ship and head north together."

"I'm not leaving!" Yang Guang sighed, "Since the Yanmen siege, I hid in Chang'an, Luoyang, and finally in Jiangdu. "

He pulled off his armor, tore off half of the dragon robe, swung his sword and chopped off the middle finger of his right hand, and wrote a letter in blood.

"Aiqing, this is the edict I gave to Dong'er. After my death, he will be the third generation of Sui Dynasty! Only Dong'er can revive the Sui Dynasty today." Yang Guang's expression remained unchanged from the beginning. Looking at the blood book, he handed it to Yang Yichen with a smile: "I have pursued the heroic spirit of the emperor all my life, and I finally came out of this last edict! This calligraphy is magnificent, even Er Yu is not as good as it! Haha..."

Knowing that Yang Guang must have left, Yang Yichen laughed loudly and said, "Why is there so little of me, Yang Yichen? General Shen! The old man knows that you are very skilled, so the Queen and King Zhao will entrust you. In addition, Mai Mengcai, Qian Jie's troops will definitely be able to withdraw to Jizhou!"

Yang Guang glanced at Yang Yichen, sighed, and didn't say a word.

"My lord, my lord!"

In Shen Guang's heart, he hoped that the two of them could live on. Yang Guang treated him well, and he would never forget him every time he was rewarded. He has never repaid this kindness. The same is true for Yang Yichen. Will give pointers.

One has the grace to know him and the other has the virtue of teaching him. He is really willing to use his life to escort the two to leave.

Yang Guang waved his hand and said: "Let's go! Let Mai Mengcai, Qian Jie, and Zhang Zhenzhou leave together! You are the talents I trained for the third generation. You are full of vigor and vitality. Your lord is the wise and mighty King of Qin." , not my dead bones in the tomb!" Speaking of this, he said to Yang Gao: "Gaoer, be a good prince."

Yang Gao shook his head: "I won't leave, I want to be with my father."

"Bastard!" Yang Guang slapped Yang Gao severely, and cursed: "I can die, but you juniors can't die."

Yang Gao knelt down, "Although Chu has three households, if Qin dies, Chu will die, and if Yang has a son, the world will be Sui! We have three king nephews in the Sui Dynasty. I am the son of Emperor Daye, and I am not afraid of death. Coward, I am willing to die with my father!"

"Good! Good! Good!" Yang Guang said good three times in a row, and said to Shen Guang: "Shen Aiqing, let's go! King Zhao wants to defend the country with our old brothers! Tell Dong'er what King Zhao said: Although Chu is three Hu, the death of Qin will lead to Chu, and Yang Yiding will lead to Sui in the world!"

"The minister also stays."

"You have your mission..."

"Here!" Shen Guang was so helpless, he kowtowed nine times to the three of them, hid the blood book close to his body, and rushed into the night alone.

Yang Guang smiled at Yang Yichen, "Have we not fought side by side for a long time?"

"For a long time!"
