The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 357 "Three Kings and Five Emperors" stand together

Yang Yong's failure to proclaim himself emperor does not mean that others do not proclaim himself emperor. First, Du Fuwei, the Jianghuai hero, proclaimed himself King of Wu after he ruled Jianghuai, and split with Li Zitong.

Then, Xiao Mian, an aristocrat from Luo County, called himself King of Liang, occupied the Jiangnan area in the middle of the Yangtze River, and became emperor. As far as Hanshui, there are more than 40 soldiers under him, and they are not inferior to Du Fuwei in terms of strength.

The two heroes in the Yangtze River Basin took the lead, and Xue Ju, the overlord of the Western Qin Dynasty who was entrenched in southern Gansu and Bashu, was not willing to be outdone, and proclaimed himself emperor in Qinzhou (today's Lanzhou, Gansu).

Then Li Gui of Wuwei was defeated by Li Yuan, retreated to Hexi, and proclaimed himself emperor in Liangzhou (today's Wuwei, Gansu).Although Luo Yi of Youzhou did not proclaim himself emperor, he abolished the title of Youyan King given to him by Yang Guang, and established himself as the King of Beiping. Yang You, that is to say, did not listen to Li Yuan's mercy.

If you count the undefeated king of Shandong Liu Heikai and the king of Yiyong Xiaoyao Yang Yong, so far, in this vast and magical land of China, there is a pattern of "three kings and five emperors".

Of course the talented and powerful Li Yuan did not want to let this situation continue. When Yang Yong and Dou Jiande were fighting, Li Yuan wanted to use his ability to wipe out the princes. He weighed his strength and compared the strength of the princes. Adopting the strategy of annexing the weak and strengthening oneself, after first driving Liu Wuzhou out of Bingzhou, with the help of his daughter Li Xiuning, he successfully disintegrated the alliance between Xue Ju and Li Gui. After Li Gui was defeated and retreated to Hexi, Li Yuan refused to give Li Gui Taking a breather, he sent generals Li Shentong and Chai Shen to guard Bingzhou to prevent Yang Yongbei from committing crimes, and then took his eldest son Li Jiancheng, daughter Li Xiuning, son-in-law Chai Shao, generals Ma Sanbao, Liu Hongji, Yin Kaishan and others to continue to use troops against Li Gui.

Of course, Xue Ju, the overlord of the Western Qin Dynasty, was not idle. He never forgot his hatred for Yang Yong. Ashes, the most proud general, Yan Xingben, was killed in that battle, which made Xue Ju's crusade against Li Yuan return without success.

After Xue Ju proclaimed himself emperor, after several months of preparations, the crown prince Xue Renguo was assigned to Qinzhou. , Zhao Tiancheng and other soldiers came to Shaanxi with 30 soldiers.

At this time, Yang Yong's main force was fighting against Liu Heitai in Shandong, and Xue Ju seized this opportunity. Therefore, his army conquered the city and plundered the land like a broken bamboo. There are more than a dozen states and counties such as Zhouzhi, Zhouzhi, and Liquan. No one can stop where they pass.

Yang Yong got the battle report and complained: "Damn it, Xue's father and son are deceiving people too much. This time, I will settle with him. They must be killed!"

How could Yang Yong forget that five years ago, the Xue family father and son took Xue Renyue's murder as an excuse, took advantage of his expedition to Tuyuhun, suddenly rebelled, stabbed in the back, eliminated dissidents, and killed innocent people indiscriminately. Zhang Jiyao, Wang Zhe and others were murdered one after another. Many innocent brothers in the rebel army were killed and many people were displaced. As a result, all of Shaanxi except Huzhou was seized by their father and son.When the Turkic soldiers invaded the border, Yang Yong almost wiped out his entire army and died in Huzhou.Thinking of these past events, Yang Yong was heartbroken.

Now that Xue Ju raised troops to attack again, Yang Yong couldn't help being furious, and ordered Wei Zheng to lead [-] troops in Luoyang and Xu Maogong to lead [-] troops in Mingzhou. Responsible for military and government affairs in Henan, Hebei and Shandong.

Then Yang Yong led his military adviser Li Jing, the young general Su Dingfang and the "Five Tiger Generals" to march to Shaanxi with 20 soldiers, and of course the four beautiful wives had to follow.

More than half a month later, Yang Yong's troops arrived in Daxing City.Cai Huan, the guard of Daxing City, led people out of the city and knelt down to greet him. Yang Yong helped the generals up and asked about the situation on the front line.At this time, Xiao Meiniang brought Yang Yimeng to Yang Yong and knelt down. Yang Yong pulled up the mother and son, picked up Xiao Yimeng, and kissed her face again and again. The generals greeted Xiao Meiniang, Xiao Meiniang returned the gift.

The family had been separated for half a year, Yang Yuling, Princess Yujing, Li Wan'er, Luo Shiying surrounded them, scrambling to hug Xiao Yimeng, and greet Xiao Meiniang.

Look at the evening, Yang Yong ordered the three armies to rest in Xianyang for one night, and set off tomorrow morning.That night, after Yang Yong's family had a reunion dinner in Yangxin Palace (Yang Guang's dormitory), Yang Yuling took the three sisters and led Xiao Yi to retreat in a dream. Yang Yong and Xiao Meiniang slept on the same bed , Expressing the love of both parties in various ways.

At five o'clock the next morning, the three armies had their battle meal, Yang Yong bid farewell to Cai Huan and Xiao Meiniang's mother and daughter, and sent troops to Xianyang.When the number of soldiers reaches 20, it is boundless, when the number of soldiers reaches [-], the ground is stretched to the sky, and [-] horses walk on the road, winding endlessly, like a giant dragon, with flags covering the sky and the sun flying, the scene is quite spectacular .In the early morning, the guard general Han Cheng led people out of the city to bring Yang Yong's troops into the city. They had just established their foothold when someone sent a report.

When Yang Yong heard that, damn it, you came really fast, this Peng Yue is powerful enough, so he asked his subordinates: "Who is the surname Peng?"

Han Cheng saluted and said: "My lord, Peng Yue, whose name is Chaoxian, is Xue Ju's vanguard officer. This man's ancestral home is Bazhong, and he was a general of Xue's father and son when they took Sichuan and Shu. It is said that most of the prefectures and counties on Xue Ju's road were captured by this person, the prince must pay attention to this person."

Before Yang Yong could speak, Luo Shixin said angrily, "Peng Yue appeared out of nowhere, and I smashed his shit out with one shot!" Then he saluted Yang Yong and asked for orders, "My lord, everyone! Sir, you sit here for a while, how about bringing a team to lift his head at the end?"

Luo Shiying lowered her face and shouted: "Shi Xin, don't talk nonsense, listen to the orders of the prince and the military adviser, don't forget, a proud soldier will be defeated."

As soon as my sister spoke, Luo Shixin didn't dare to speak up.

Yang Yong looked at Li Jing, Li Jing saluted and said: "Your Majesty, we are not in a hurry right now, since Peng Yue is here, he will definitely come to scold him, so we will wait for him in the city." Looking at Luo Shixin, " General Luo, how about giving you the opportunity to make this first achievement?"

Luo Shixin was overjoyed, and saluted Li Jing: "Thank you, military advisor, the final general will definitely fulfill his mission!"
