The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 44

"Fifth brother, you are the head of the family. Brother Yu will go for you to send troops to fight. You can just sit in Jinyang and listen to the victory." Yang Yong saluted when he saw that the King of Han really wanted to send troops to attack the faint king Yang Guang. .

Yang Jie, the king of the Han Dynasty, was happy: "Xiao Wang knows that brother Wang is both civil and military, and he was invincible in the battlefield. In this case, Xiao Wang will leave this journey to you, and let Qiao Zhongkui lead [-] troops as the vanguard. You are the marshal. , Guo Liang is the military adviser, General Gongye is the deputy general of the army, Liu Ping is escorting food and grass, and we set off according to the original plan!"

The plan for dispatching troops was decided in this way. When Yang Jie announced his withdrawal from the palace, suddenly a soldier came in and knelt down to report: "Prince Bing, Wu Jianzhang, the loyal and filial king, has arrived in Puzhou under the imperial edict. Inspector Li, please make a decision."

Yang Yong was shocked when he heard that, King Zhongxiao is here?Yang Guang and the others reacted very quickly. No need to ask, they must have come for themselves. Thinking of this, Yang Yong looked at Yang Jie.

Yang Jie was stunned and said, "Wu Jianzhang? How many horses have he brought? Why is he here?"

"More than a hundred riders, they only said that they want to see the king's edict, and the other villains don't know." The reporter replied kneeling on one leg.

Guo Liang, the military advisor, went out to salute and said, "My lord, don't ask, he's here for the side-by-side king."

"Oh, if that's the case, what else is there to decide? Put Wu Jianzhang in prison, and when the army rises the day after tomorrow, use him to sacrifice the flag!"

"Follow the order." Just as the soldier was about to go out, Yang Yong's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly stopped him: "Wait a minute. Brother, don't be reckless. It's not too late to call over to hear what he has to say before making a decision."

Yang Yongxin said, this Wu Jianzhang is a virtuous minister and good general, there is a folk legend that Wu Jianzhang scolded the palace.What's more, this old man and my benefactor, Old Yang Lin, are inseparable. Yang Lin even wrote to him before leaving Beijing, asking him and Li Yuan to cover me. If he killed him indiscriminately, I couldn't bear it.

"Okay, since Brother Wang said so, let's announce him." Saying this, Yang Jie leaned back.

The soldier agreed to send an order to go.At this time, Yang Jie gave an order, and dozens of swordsmen and axes rushed in to line up the hatchback. Immediately, the hall was shimmering with cold light and full of murderous aura.

Yang Yong knew that this was Yang Jie who wanted to show off Wu Jianzhang, and thought, Yang Jie really dared to do it, his territory is not small, how many soldiers did he have under his command? Just look at the 40 soldiers he sent out just now. If Yang Guang can really be overthrown this time, it is estimated that Yang Jie will be better than Yang Guang as the emperor.

However, according to historical records, the King of Han was finally defeated. Oh, how did he lose?No matter that much, what if the historical records are wrong.The point is that the 20 troops let Lao Tzu be the marshal, which is really enjoyable. I have to have a fight with Yang Guang even if I try my best!
Yang Yong was thinking wildly in his heart, and after waiting for more than half an hour, Wu Jianzhang came to the hall with his whole robe shaking. Seeing that the formation was full of knives and axes on both sides, with raised eyebrows, all the civil and military men glared at him, Wu Jianzhang frowned, Then swaggered in.

Seeing Yang Jie, the king of Han, sitting upright on top, and Yang Yong sitting next to him, he was taken aback, then bowed his hands and saluted and said, "King of Han, are you okay here?"

"Doo! Bold Wu Jianzhang, why didn't you kneel when you saw our prince?" the doctor Jia Yu shouted.

Wu Jianzhang put his face down and said: "King Zhongxiao is also a king, and King Han is also a king. Both of us were granted the throne by the previous emperor. Why should this king kneel down? This king came with the emperor's imperial edict this time, and you are still waiting for me?" Why don't you kneel down and accept the edict, when will you wait?" Wu Jianzhang said, taking out Yang Guang's edict from his sleeve.

Hanwang Yang Jie didn't even move his butt, and the others were even more indifferent.

Wu Jianzhang became angry, and pointed at Yang Jie: "King of Han, are you really going to rebel? The world has just been established, the new king has just ascended the throne, the people of the people are suffering, and urgently need to recuperate. Do you want to fight again for your own selfish desires?"

Yang Jie curled his lips and said, "King Zhongxiao, for the sake of you being a veteran of the two generations, I will tell you a few more words today." He pointed to Yang Yong who was sitting beside him, "Rebellion? The Son of Heaven is here! Who is rebelling? How did he, Yang Guang, sit on that dragon chair? What did he do after he sat on it? You are by Yang Guang's side, you should be more aware of these things than this king, right? "

When King Zhongxiao heard it, Yang Jie's words made some sense, but he still grinned and said, "King of Han, you are brothers, and there are some things that old ministers don't want to talk about. But anyway, this is the will of the late emperor, the late emperor Abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones is already an established fact. Why, could it be that the King of Han dared to disobey the will of the former emperor? Although the current emperor has done something wrong, we, the subjects, should strongly advise, be loyal to the country, and plead for the people , and even spattered five steps with blood, but rebellion is treasonous!"

Yang Jie was furious when he heard this, he slammed the table and shouted: "Shut up! Wu Jianzhang, if I give you a chicken feather, you will treat it as an arrow, right? If you take Yang Guang seriously, I think he is not a thing! Tell you, Ben Wang's patience is limited today, for the sake of my brother Wang, I asked you to finish the sentence, you have to seize the opportunity, tell me, what are you doing here?"

Wu Jianzhang was so angry that he hummed: "Okay, King of Han, Yang Yong, I can't persuade you, so you just go your own way, good words are hard to persuade the damn ghost!" Wu Jianzhang started to read Yang Guang's edict aloud , which roughly means:

According to the imperial edict of Tian Chengyun, Yang Yong, the abandoned prince of the previous dynasty, was dissatisfied with the previous emperor, repeatedly committed rebellion, and punished and killed the officials ordered by the court.I think of the brotherhood, treat him with tolerance, and break the rules and successively conferred the titles of Shaobao Qiansui and Zhendian General, and also bestowed him with the eight-treasure camel dragon gun, the treasure of the town.

Nai Yangyong didn't want to repay his kindness, his old habits were hard to return, and he never let go of his evil. He went out of the east gate, wounded the general to protect his children, killed countless officers and soldiers, and fled to the territory of the King of Han.

I hereby tell my younger brother, the King of Han, that Yang Yong's crimes are heinous and unforgivable, and I order you to capture him and personally escort him to the capital for questioning, so as to accuse the dead and comfort the people of the world.And talk about the pain of missing my brother, and give the reward for catching the thief.This!
After Wu Jianzhang finished reading, Yang Yong almost burst out laughing, thinking that the imperial decree was really interesting to read, he seemed to be reading a heavenly scripture, these people have all kinds of shapes, neither kneeling nor worshiping, some standing and some sitting, There were those who stared and those who snickered, and they all watched him perform alone, like reading a text aloud, or playing the piano to a cow.Where is the majesty of the emperor's decree?

"King of Han, I have finished reading the imperial edict, it's up to you where to go, accept the edict!" Wu Jianzhang handed the edict forward with both hands.

Yang Jie sneered and said, "Wu Jianzhang, I understand everything. What is the order? Isn't it for me to tie up Brother Wang and take him to the capital for punishment? Oh, let me go in person and say something to relieve my brother's suffering. Receive the award face to face, bullshit! He is setting the king up, and then he will have to imprison the king or even kill him. Isn’t the fourth brother, the king of Shu, a living example? You think I am three years old A child? How dare you give me such an order, come here, take it down, put it in prison, and sacrifice the flag the day after tomorrow!"

The knife and axe promised, rushed up, took the imperial edict and threw it aside, pushed Wu Jianzhang to the ground, knocked off his helmet, twisted his arms and tied them up.

Wu Jianzhang scolded as soon as he jumped high: "Yang Jie, Yang Yong, traitors! You disobeyed the order, colluded with each other, deliberately conspired against each other, punished the officials ordered by the court, and deserved to be punished for your crimes. You will not end well! "

Only then did Yang Yong recover from the state of watching the play, and hurriedly stopped him: "Slow, slowly. Fifth brother, can you say a few words to Brother Rong Yu?"

"Okay, I'll listen to my brother Wang, let him go first!" Yang Jie said triumphantly.

Yang Yong got down from his seat, walked up to Wu Jianzhang calmly and said, "What is written in this edict?" After speaking, Yang Yong picked up the edict from the ground and read it again.

It turned out that Wu Jianzhang had been reading for a long time just now, because most of the words were in classical Chinese, and Yang Yong really didn't understand the Zichou Yinmao in it.

His action caused a burst of laughter from the King of Han and the ministers of civil and military affairs. These people thought that Yang Yong was playing Wu Jianzhang on purpose.

Fortunately, Yang Yong's classical Chinese literature is not bad. I read it a few times, and I still try to translate some words in my mind.

Yang Yong then took the edict and said to Wu Jianzhang: "My lord, you have been fooled. How much water is in this edict, how many fallacies and heresies are there, others don't know, you don't know? Since I am dissatisfied with the late emperor, I was demoted Why didn't I rebel for four years, why did I rebel as soon as Yang Guang came to the throne?"

"This?" Wu Jianzhang really didn't expect that Yang Yong was not in a hurry, but instead explained the truth to him, and he really couldn't answer this question.

Yang Yong went on to say: "It is said that I killed the officials of the imperial court because they wanted to kill me, and I had to stand up and resist in order to save my life. It doesn't matter whether it is Yang Da, the court captain, or Shi Wu Yuanlong from the Imperial Forest Army. They chased me to my house and wanted my life. Do I have to sit and wait to die? As for the people who came to protect my children, they took advantage of their power and wanted to arrest me for no reason. What is my crime? If I don’t kill them, they will Kill me, I call it justifiable self-defense, he is forcing the people to rebel, you know?"

Yang Yong's nondescript reasoning made people like Wu Jianzhang and Yang Jie dumbfounded, thinking, what is legitimate self-defense?Why is Yang Yong talking so strangely recently?
Then, Yang Jie took the lead in applauding and said: "Okay, Brother Wang is so right, the government forces the people to rebel! If I follow this bullshit decree, I will be killed by them when I get there, so I have to rebel!"

"Besides, this must be a treacherous scheme by Yang Guang and Yu Wenhuaji. The fifth brother is right. As soon as he enters Beijing, he will lose his freedom. They will not only kill us, but also kill you, King Zhongxiao! Why didn't Yu Wenhuaji issue the edict? It is not Yuwen Chengdu, nor Yue Wang Yang Su, but Zhongxiao Wang? So I said, you have been fooled, you are a fool. What kind of loyalty are you doing for him? If you can hang out with us, you will definitely not treat you badly? How about it?"

Yang Yong's words made Yang Jie laugh again: "Wu Jianzhang, you are so lucky, you really met a good man. My brother Wang is so kind, this is your only chance to survive, if you can't grasp it, don't It's my fault that I didn't remind you. Those who know the current affairs are heroes, how about it, will you surrender or not?"

"Bah!" Wu Jianzhang was speechless, and stared at him, "This old man was born as a loyal and filial king, born as a member of the Great Sui Dynasty, and died as a ghost of the Great Sui Dynasty. How can he join forces with you rebellious officials and thieves? Kill him!" Cut it as you like, no need to say more!"

Han Wang Yang was also angry, and stared at him: "Yo ho, old guy, you don't know how to flatter, do you think this king dare not kill you? Come on, push it out now, and cut your body apart!"

Yang Yong couldn't bear it, and stopped him again, and tried to persuade him for a long time, but Wu Jianzhang was determined not to surrender, and scolded them as rebellious officials and thieves, which made Yang Yong lose his patience, and said to himself, my own life, can I die? It's still unknown if I can keep it, I'm still pretending to be a good person to persuade others, I'm really overwhelmed!

When Yang Yong refused to persuade him, Yang Jie became even more annoyed, and shouted: "Push Wu Jianzhang out, and tear him apart!"
