Chapter 429 Yang Guang’s stroke

When King Yang Ming of Liao heard this news, his worry and anger flashed through his heart, and then his heart was filled with emotion.

The Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty had three sons, two legitimate and one illegitimate. Yang Hung was the legitimate but not the eldest son. When Prince Yang Zhao was the prince, he never thought there was anything wrong with him. But later, Yang Zhao died suddenly. He became the emperor's only son and also the legitimate son. Not only did he feel that he must be the heir to the throne, but everyone inside and outside the court also felt that he would inherit the position of Emperor Emperor in the Sui Dynasty in the future.

From that day on, although he was not the prince, he was more flattering than the prince. Countless people began to show kindness to him, and no matter what he wanted, he could always get it. But sometimes it was always too early to be happy. When he felt that he was already under the Sui Dynasty and above ten thousand people, the emperor was angry at his behavior.

Not only did he execute a large number of his confidants, he was also imprisoned in the palace and could not see the light of day. At that time, he thought that in this life he might have demoted his uncle, King Yang Xiu, to a commoner, and not be able to meet his wife. He only ordered him to drive the maids of ethnic minorities, which was more miserable than this.

Unexpectedly, after the emperor finally made Yang Gao, the eight-year-old concubine, the prince, he felt compassion for him, let him go out of the palace, and sent him to the Kuhan Liaodong to become the King of Liao. But he didn't expect that this idle prince didn't have long been. As Chen Kefu rebelled, the King of Liao lost his fiefdom and could only stay in Kyoto.

Now when he heard that the prince's younger brother, who was only over eight years old, was actually being taken away by the Turks, he was not sadness of brotherhood, but happiness. He was already praying in his heart, hoping that the prince's younger brother who knew nothing would die in the hands of the Turks. In this way, he would be the emperor's only son. No matter what, he still had great hope of inheriting the throne.

Although he didn't want to save the prince in his heart, on the surface he didn't dare to spill out the little thoughts in his heart. After years of ups and downs, Yang Ming hadn't learned anything else, but he had learned to hide his thoughts.

Holding his father's hand, Yang Hing nodded, "Father, please rest assured. My son will immediately lead troops to rescue his mother and the prince. However, there must be no soldiers and horses in Yanmén City, so I can only lead the 30,000 soldiers and horses brought to Han County to pursue him, and the eight thousand soldiers and horses in the city will still stay in Yanmén City."

Yang Guang coughed a few times, his eyes flashing, "Okay, okay, after all these years, you have matured. My father is very happy, go ahead, no matter what, you must rescue your mother and prince. Even if necessary, you can promise Shibi that as long as he releases your mother and prince back, I will no longer pursue his actions of going south to siege me."

"Son Master obeys the order" Yang Qing bowed to Yang Guang, and immediately gathered the 30,000 troops who had just entered the city and drove out of the city to chase the Turks.

However, although Yang Ming was very active in front of Yang Guang, as soon as he left the city, he kept sending scouts along the way, and the army was also stopping and stopping, afraid that they would not be able to escape. When it was dark, they had only left Yanmén City less than thirty miles. At this time, the Turks had already been galloping north for a day and ran hundreds of miles.

"Report"

"Your Majesty, General Pei Renji, the General of the Right Martial Guard, led 100,000 troops to protect the vanguard, and the vanguard has arrived at the city."

Yang Guang lay in the room of Feiyun Temple and nodded when he heard the news.

"Transfer my will and asked Pei Renji to transfer all cavalry from the army without having to stop in the city. All cavalry immediately lightly cavalry to the north and pursue the Turkic army. Tell Pei Renji that the Turks kidnapped the queen and the prince and asked him to rescue the queen and the prince."

Although Yang Hing had sent Yang Hing to rescue him before, Yang Hing's troops were all infantry. At that time, the war horses in Yanmén had already been killed and eaten up when the food was exhausted. Now that the infantry chased the cavalry, Yang Guang did not have any hope. The queen and his wife have been in love for many years, and no matter what, he could not let the queen be captured and taken to the grassland. As the crown prince of a country, he could not fall into the hands of the Turks.

Pei Renji, the general of the Right Martial Guard who had just arrived, dared not stop at all as soon as he received the imperial edict. He led the General of the Right Martial Guard to the Yan Mén to see him. He had already led 30,000 cavalry northward with his two sons and led 30,000 cavalry northward to pursue the Turks.

Although Yang Yichen's surname was Yang, he was later given the surname. His original surname was Yuchi, which was a family of military generals in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. His father was of the same clan as Yuchi Jiong, the general who was dissatisfied with Yang Jian's army. However, his father firmly supported Yang Jian. Later, after entering the Sui Dynasty, he had many military achievements and finally died in the border. Yang Jian adopted Yang Yichen in the palace and was given the surname Yang, and was incorporated into the Zong family. In the early years of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Yichen was always a general at the border and had many military achievements, but he

He had a good relationship with Shi Wanshi, but had a bad relationship with Yang Su. After Yang Suyin plotted to kill Shi Wansui, Yang Yichen entered the court as a civil minister. It was not until he conquered Goguryeo that he once again led troops as a general. In history, in the late Sui Dynasty, he was one of the commanders of the three imperial army that suppressed the peasant army in the Sui Dynasty. He set up countless rebels in the banks of the Yellow River, Hebei, Henan, and Shandong. In the Romance of Unofficial History, Yang Lin, the king of backers, talked about Yang Yichen.

With Yang Yichen leading the 70,000 troops into Yanmén City, Yang Guang's heart finally settled down completely. When only eight thousand people died in the imperial guards, Yang Guang, who was seriously injured, had no sense of security. However, he believed this brother who grew up in the palace with him since childhood.

At night, Yang Yichen's Hebei army replaced the city defense of Yanmén City. The soldiers and people in the city finally ate hot meals again and could sleep well with peace of mind.

As soon as the sky was dawn, several cavalry teams came from the south and rushed into Yanmén City.

"Report"

"Report to Your Majesty, an army of 100,000 people had just crossed the Hutuo River on the Taiyuan border, and was flew with the banner of "Li". Taiyuan stayed behind, and the Duke of Tang led 100,000 reinforcements from Hedong." The scout loudly reported.

Yang Guang heard this but just kept silent. He had the most hope for Li Yuan's Hedong soldiers. It was because Taiyuan was closest to Yan Mén, but Yan Mén was surrounded for nearly a month. He waited left and right but could not see Li Yuan's reinforcements coming. Now that the Turks withdrew their troops, Pei Renji's Hebei soldiers had arrived. Li Yuan's 100,000 Hedong soldiers had just entered Yan Mén County, which made him very unhappy.

Not long after the scout left, another scout came to report.

"Report to Your Majesty, "There are a large number of ships heading north along the Fen River. The front of them has reached Xinkou on the border of Yanmeng. According to investigation, the flags raised by the fleet are the big flags of the name Wang. The ambassador of Jianghuai comforting and comforting, and the remaining subordinates of Jiangdu, Lord Wang Shichong led 100,000 Huainan troops to help. General Wang has already disembarked the ship and led the guards to come. Today, we can arrive at Yanmeng."

When Yang Guang heard the news, he was stunned. Jianghuai was so far away from Yanmeng. The Jianghuai Army led by Wang Shichong has been suppressing peasant rebels in the Jianghuai area, with only more than 50,000 troops. But now, when Wang Shichong received his edict to serve the king, he could gather 100,000 troops in such a quick time, cross the canal and go up the Yellow River to the Fen River to Yanmeng. This loyalty really made Yang Guang feel very moved.

Wang Shichong was just a Hu man, and at first he was just a guard. He used to think that Wang Shichong was very good at doing things, and he could always do the tasks assigned to him, so he kept placing him. Later, he even guarded the Jiangdu he often went to. Unexpectedly, he trained a powerful army in Jianghuai, and the peasant rebels were wiped out.

However, this time, Yang Guang felt that he saw people's hearts over time and loyal ministers. Wang Shichong used to be a little unappreciated in his eyes. After receiving the edict, he had already crossed most of the Sui Dynasty in such a short time, from Jianghuai to Hedong Yanmeng, which made him extremely moved. Compared to the delay of Li Yuan, who was born in a large family and a royal relative, Wang Shichong's performance moved Yang Guang too much.

Yang Guang, who was lying there, thought about Wang Shichong's current official position, and felt that it was time for him to grant Wang Shichong a Duke and a rank of general. If such a loyal minister does not value rewards, should he still reward his subjects who are unpredictable like Li Yuan?

As soon as Wang Shichong arrived there, Guanzhong's Xijing Chang'an remained behind. Wei Wensheng, the general of the right imperial guard, led 60,000 Guanzhong jingling to Loufan day and night. The civil and military officials of the other officials, the powerful families, also recruited troops to serve the king, either on the road or in Hedong. There were a bunch of soldiers and horses everywhere on the roads and mountain roads in the Central Plains. Not to mention those soldiers and horses that had not arrived yet, just the soldiers and horses of Pei Renji, Li Yuan, Wang Shichong, Wei Wensheng, and the remaining soldiers and horses of Liao King Yang and Yan Mén, the entire Yan Mén had an army of 400,000 at once. Although more than 300,000 of the 400,000 people had recently been temporarily recruited, the number was just as shocking.

The wind storms and clouds surging, soldiers gathered, flags were like seas, spears were like forests, and swords were as strong as snow.

Three days later, Pei Renji and Liao King Yang Xiao returned to Yanmén with 60,000 troops, but found nothing. The Turks had already left Mayi.

The furious Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty inspected the 500,000 troops who had arrived in Yanmén City that day. He prepared to raise all the 500,000 troops and immediately rushed north to march into the Turkic grassland, rescued his wife and children, and slaughtered every man on the grassland.

Yang Guang stood above the city, looking at the endless army below, and felt endless in his heart. He pulled out his sword at the emperor's waist, and Yang Guang shouted loudly, "Today I swear here that in my lifetime, I will completely kill everyone in the grassland Turkic people..."

With a "clang", the sword in Yang Guang's hand fell onto the bluestone slab at the top of the city, and the sword with gold-cutting and broken yù made a pleasant sound on the ground.

Yang Guang was halfway through his speech, his mouth was open, his mouth trembling and opened and closed, but for a long time he couldn't say a word. Wang Shichong, who was standing behind Yang Guang, saw something was wrong. As soon as he lifted his body, Yang Guang was already stunned, and he could no longer stand steadily, and he fell straight back.

"His Majesty"

Wang Shichong had the sharpest eyes. When he saw Yang Guang's body shaking, he had already rushed forward and stretched out to catch the fallen emperor Yang Guang.

Looking at Yang Guang again, Wang Shichong only felt that the emperor was staring at him with his eyes constantly, as if he had a thousand words to say to him, but he could only make meaningless sounds from his mouth.

"Quickly pass on the imperial doctor"

At this time, other ministers rushed over, helped the emperor to the soft couch, and hurriedly sent it back to Feiyun Temple.

The 500,000 troops under the city were all stunned. I don’t know why the emperor inspected the military horses, but suddenly stopped halfway. After standing for a while, he rode a horse out of the city. When everyone saw the one-armed appearance, they knew that it was Li Shimin, the general of Zuotun Guard who had made many military achievements when Yan Mén besieged the city.

"Your Majesty has been working hard for a long time and is exhausted. Now he has returned to the city to rest. The officials in charge of the government have ordered that the soldiers of the army be temporarily disbanded and the generals of each department will be taken back to the military camp and wait for the military order." After saying the order, he returned to the city without looking back.

Li Shimin rushed back to Feiyun Temple and saw his father Li Yuan and others standing outside the emperor's house with frowns. He couldn't help but ask, "Father, how are your majesty?"

Li Yuan pulled Li Shimin to a corner and sighed, "The imperial doctor has taken turns to diagnose it. Your Majesty was injured by an arrow, which hurt his heart. He had been injured several times before and encouraged the three armies to defend the city. Later, the empress and the prince were taken away by the Turks, which made His Majesty even more angry. In addition, he has not had a good rest in the past month, so His Majesty's body has long been unable to be kidnapped. The imperial doctors had just treated him and said that His Majesty had already suffered a stroke. Now half of his body can no longer move, and he can't even speak."

When Li Shimin heard that the emperor had a stroke, he was also shocked. The emperor was still inspecting the three armies and said that he would invade 500,000 troops to attack the grassland and destroy Shibi Khan. But in a blink of an eye, he fell down. He said somewhat disbelief, "Your Majesty was trapped in the city before. It was so difficult, but it was still fine. Why did you say that you would have a stroke?"

Li Yuan sighed and said softly in Li Shimin's ear, "I just said that Your Majesty's situation is already very dangerous. If you are not good, you may be powerless to turn things around. Erlang, you are now the General of Zuotun Guard beside Your Majesty, responsible for guarding Your Majesty and being by your side. From now on, you must always pay attention to the situation around Your Majesty and must not leave easily. It would be fine if Your Majesty can pass this level. If you can't hold on, you are afraid that the world will change again."
