The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 54 Yu Wenhua and His Advice
Yue Wang Yang Su and Pu Shangong Li Mi returned to the capital with the remnants of the defeated generals. Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang was shocked when he received the report.

Yang Yong's group is the closest to the capital and poses the greatest threat to the capital. Therefore, I have sent them the most and strongest soldiers, and they have the greatest hopes.Unexpectedly, they walked fast and came back in a hurry. They returned in defeat after only three days. With so many elite soldiers and strong generals, only five or six thousand people returned?

Now Yang Guang was like five thunderbolts, he quickly ordered someone to invite Yu Wenhuaji to the palace to discuss matters.

At this time, Ding Wenhuaji also got the letter, and was shocked, Yang Yong is so good?It seems that this person is not only brave, but also has the same prestige in leading troops!
Yu Huaji couldn't tell whether Yang Guangxuan was a blessing or a curse at this time, because he sent all these soldiers and horses, and he ordered the generals, so of course he couldn't escape the victory or defeat.If Yang Guang came to investigate the responsibility and hold the leader accountable, Yu Wenhuaji would be ruined.

Therefore, he was apprehensive, and when he saw Yang Guang, he pretended not to know anything, knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I don't know where Xuan Weichen is coming to serve at this time?"

"Qing Ping." Yang Guang shook his sleeves and walked straight back and forth, "Did Ai Qing hear that King Yue and Li Mi came back after being defeated, and they were waiting outside the city with their remnants. When he raised his troops, he took [-] The Huben Army, together with the generals who passed through the border, has a total strength of no less than [-] troops, but within three days, they only came back with less than [-]! Such a disastrous defeat, what can I do, what can I do?"

Yu Wenhuaji paused for a while and saluted and said: "Your Majesty, please lie down and apologize. The King of Yue has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he is invincible. He also has several sons, all of whom are accustomed to fighting. Uncle Wang was helping out, how could there be such a disastrous defeat so soon? This is not what I expected."

Just as the monarchs and ministers were talking, the eunuch who reported the incident came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the servant just got the news that Yang Yong came here with an army of 20 to hunt him down, and he is less than eighty miles away from the capital..."

"Huh?" Yang Guang and Yu Wenhuaji were a little dumbfounded. Both of them were military generals. For a 20-strong army, this distance can be reached in the blink of an eye.

Yang Guang's face turned pale, Yu Wenhuaji wiped off his sweat, and hurriedly saluted: "Your Majesty, the matter is urgent, the city is empty, there is no news of the capture of the king from all walks of life, and the battles of the soldiers and horses failed." , His Majesty, hurry up and send an edict to ascend to the palace for discussion!"

Yang Guang saw that this was all he could think of, so he asked the eunuch on duty to deliver an order to let people ride fast horses to Xuanyue King Yang Su and Pu Shan Gong Li Mi to the Golden Palace to face the saint, Yu Wenhuaji quit the palace, and hurried to the Golden Palace.

Yue Wang Yang Su and Pu Shan Gong Li Mi did not dare to be negligent after receiving the imperial decree, and ordered Yang Gan to take good men and horses, and then the two of them rode fast horses to the Wuchao gate. .

At this time, the Jingyang bell in the imperial city rang three times in a row, and it was approaching the night of the ascension to the palace, and all the civil and military officials rushed to the golden palace in a panic.

When all the civil and military officials arrived, Yang Guang sat on the dragon chair. Just as the civil and military officials were about to pay respects, Yang Guang shook his dragon robes like last time and said, "Your servants are welcome. I heard that Yang Su and Li Mi were defeated, and the rebel Yang Yong led an army to the capital, let Yang Su and Li Mi talk about the situation of this dispatch."

Yang Guanglian also stopped calling "Aiqing" and called her by his first name, obviously dissatisfied with the results of the two battles.

The two hurriedly got out of work and knelt down, kowtowing: "The old minister obeys the order, and the minister accepts the order!..." Yue Wang Yang Su complained, and Li Mi added that the two of them combined with each other to tell the battle situation of the past two days. He excused himself from responsibility, and shifted the main responsibility for the defeat to Wang Bodang's defection.

Li Mi was dissatisfied with King Yue's remarks, but he did not dare to refute in front of the emperor and ministers of civil and military affairs.

When Yang Guang heard this, he was furious, and he slapped the Long Shuan and shouted: "What a thief Wang Bodang, I treat him well, and I appointed him as the deputy vanguard of the army before he has made any achievements. I didn't expect that he turned out to be a soft bone. He surrendered to the thief. Pretending to be a fraudulent city, punishing and killing the officials ordered by the court, is that okay? Come, pass on my order, go to his hometown in Henan to arrest the rebel Wang Bodang, and exterminate the nine clans!"

"Observe the decree!" The head official of the palace promised to draw up the decree and went.

After Yue Wang Yang Su and Li Mi finished playing, they knelt there and didn't even dare to lift their heads. I don't know if Yang Guang would pursue their responsibility, especially Pu Shangong Li Mi, who was worried about himself and Wang Bodang. An indescribable hatred.

"Let's make peace with the two Qing families." Yang Guang finally threw out a sentence that reassured the two of them.

"Thank you, long live." Both of them knelt down until their knees were a little numb, especially Yue Wang Yang Su, who was getting older and recovering from a serious illness. He had been fighting and marching in a hurry for the past two days. He was defeated again and had no rest.I wanted to make some meritorious deeds to compete for favor in front of Yang Guang, and build up my image in front of civil and military officials, but I didn't expect to make a shit again. I was extremely upset and my body couldn't bear it, and I almost fainted.

Yang Guang pretended not to see it, and asked the civil and military officials: "Everyone, you understand that Yang Yong and the King of Han colluded and threatened the capital. What is the strategy for you to retreat?"

Yang Guang asked three times and no one answered, and Yang Guang was even more unhappy: "Du, raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while. With the salary of the country, you should repay my kindness and share my worries for me. Now that the country is in crisis, you keep silent. , can’t you just look at me and laugh?!”

Li Mi took the courage to go out of the class and salute: "Your Majesty, Yang Yong's troops will soon arrive at the capital. Now the capital is empty, and there is no news of the masters who captured the king from all over the place. According to my opinion, Your Majesty is still hiding." Alright, take a step back, wait for the master who captured the king to arrive, and then we will fight back to suppress the bandits, and I am willing to swear to the death to keep His Majesty out of the city."

Yue Wang Yang Su also hurried out of the class and saluted: "Your Majesty, what Pu Shangong said is reasonable, and the old minister is willing to swear to the death to keep His Majesty out of the city."

"Are you telling me to run away? I am the king of a country, which is detrimental to my majesty, and the Eastern Capital has not yet been built, and there are wars all around. Where can I go? I am not going anywhere!" Yang Guang heard Not happy, Daxing City is his comfort zone, once he leaves, he will have to live a life of homelessness, of course he doesn't want to.

Tianbao general Yu Wencheng couldn't bear it any longer. He had wanted to ask for an order a long time ago, but when he saw his father Yu Wenhua and Chong secretly shaking his head and winking at him, he couldn't bear it anymore. Now seeing the emperor being so embarrassing Getting angry, he couldn't bear it anymore, and knelt down when he got out of the class: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I would like to lead a team out of the city to resist the thieves, so that Daxing City will be safe and sound!"

Yang Guang was happy when he saw it: "Oh, Xiao Aiqing is commendable for being loyal and brave. I think it must be you. How many soldiers and horses do you plan to bring? Where will you meet the enemy?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, [-] elite soldiers are enough to kill Yang Yong at the Town God's Temple [-] miles outside Daxing City." Yu Wencheng said nonchalantly.

Yang Guangda is overjoyed, just about to give permission.Yu Wenhuaji was very anxious, and said to himself, little beast, you are really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, although you are brave and invincible, but what is emphasized on the battlefield is wisdom and bravery, not a momentary bravery.The kings of Yue, Yang Su and Li Mi, were brave and resourceful, and they were supported by fierce generals such as the champion of martial arts, Wang Bodang. They had 20 to [-] soldiers and horses, and they were defeated so quickly.You little boy led [-] troops out of the city to block Yang Yong's [-] army, isn't that courting death?
So he hurried out of class and knelt down and kowtowed: "Oh, Your Majesty, this plan is wrong."

Yang Guang was upset, and said to himself, what are you doing?You have sent out all the generals in the city who are used to fighting. The capital is empty, there are not many soldiers, and there is no good general. Although Yu Wencheng is young, he is very brave. Yang Yong is not his opponent. Let him lead his troops to resist Yang Yong. Yong couldn't be more suitable, but you obstructed it. Could it be that you have two minds?
So she lowered her face and said, "Oh, Aiqing, what's wrong?"

Yu Wenhuaji hurriedly saluted and said: "Your Majesty, it's not that you are a weak minister. Please think about it, Your Majesty, Yang Yong's 20 soldiers are overwhelming, the capital is empty, and there are no good generals. The Imperial Forest Army is to protect the imperial city. In this way, there are all soldiers in the city that can defend against the enemy." There are only 5 people, such a large city, [-] Malay guards are already stretched.

Once Gouzi Chengdu leads the troops away, there will be fewer soldiers in the city. Who will protect the safety of Daxing City?Who will be responsible for your safety, Your Majesty?Yang Yong has twenty soldiers and horses this time. Although Gouzi is very brave, he is young and ignorant after all, what if he falls for their tricks? "

Yang Guang was speechless when he heard that, he clicked his tongue and said, "Then according to Qing's opinion, how should we defend against the enemy?"

"Your Majesty, according to my opinion, not only can't send troops, but all the soldiers must be withdrawn to the city, defend the city, and wait for help. In a few days, the king's capture divisions from all over the world will definitely arrive. By then , we should cooperate from inside to outside, the bandit soldiers can be broken, and the traitor Yang Yong will be captured." Yu Wenhuaji said, since you don't want to leave this comfort zone, then you have to stick to it.

"Aiqing's words are reasonable, so let's follow Aiqing's words." Yang Guang was in a mess now and had no idea. Hearing what Yu Wenhuaji said was reasonable and well-founded, he had no choice but to play it.

Soon, all the military strongholds near Daxing City withdrew into Daxing City. As soon as they withdrew to the city, Yang Yong's army rushed there, and soon surrounded Daxing City with water.

The capital shook.At this time, Yang Guang and other monarchs and ministers who had not yet announced their retirement from the palace were also reported. Not to mention the common people, all civil and military officials were panicked.I didn't expect Yang Yong's army to come so quickly. It seems that those who come are not good, and those who are kind don't come.

Yang Guang led all the civil and military officials to the top of the city overnight, and saw Yang Yong's barracks for dozens of miles below, tents were next to each other, the lights were bright, the flags were flying, and even the flags could be seen clearly.

This time Yang Guang also panicked. He even regretted not accepting Li Mi's suggestion of abandoning the city and fleeing. He was even more uncertain: "Prime Minister, why is this Daxing City law-abiding? With Yang Yong's 20 troops, only five of us can defend the city." Wan, if they want to attack by force, can they hold it? How about sending my imperial forest army out of the imperial city to defend the city, and then mobilizing the common people to go to the city together? Or send a general to break through the siege and call for help?"

It was already dark at this time, how could Yang Guang have the heart to go back to the palace to enjoy himself, and continued to ask Ji Yu Wenhuaji, and now Yuwen and his son have become Yang Guang's entire hope and spiritual sustenance.

Yu Wenhuaji rolled his eyes on the top of the wall, he was not sure now, and said to himself, Yang Guang, if you ask me if I can hold it, who should I ask?The Imperial Forest Army, the common people, all go to the city to defend the city?It's no wonder if it's not messed up, besides, where will the common people be organized in a short time?

Yu Wenhuaji's eyes suddenly lit up, and he saluted upwards: "Your Majesty has it! Tonight, Yang Yong came from a long way away as a tired army, and he must not be able to attack the city. I have a plan, so that Yang Yong can't think of Shu, and he will be in a mess. , so if it can be delayed for three to five days, the masters from all over the world will definitely arrive, and the problem will be solved."

Yang Guang was overjoyed when he heard this: "Oh, Aiqing, what's your plan, tell me quickly?"
