Chapter 13 Recover Qi County

In Jiangdu Palace, Yuwen Shu hurried to the imperial study room. He was uneasy. He had heard a detailed report on Yang Xuangan's comeback, but he never expected that his son Huaji would fall into Yang Xuangan's hands, which shocked and angry. But at this time he was even more worried about how to explain to Yang Guang.

Yuwen Shu didn't sleep all night last night and thought about dozens of reasons, but all the reasons had loopholes, so there was no time to let him think about it anymore. Early in the morning, Yang Guang sent an eunuch to announce him, and he could only grit his teeth and hurried to the imperial study room.

In front of the imperial study, the eunuch Li Zhongliang looked frightened and did not dare to say much to him. It can be seen that Yang Guang was furious. Yuwen Shu sighed, "It's a blessing or not a disaster," he couldn't escape it. He could only face the reality."

"The State of Yuwen Xiangguo has arrived!" The little eunuch reported to him at the door.

"Supreme him in!"

Yang Guang's cold voice came from the room, which made Yuwen Shu feel a glimmer of hope. At least Yang Guang did not directly call him to drag him down and beat him with a stick, and was willing to listen to his explanation, which means that Yang Guang knew it.

Yuwen Shu walked into the imperial study room and saw Yang Guang standing in front of the window with his hands covered with his face, his face turned ashen, and fragments of porcelain were still on the ground, and a piece of ginseng was embedded in the gap on the floor. Yuwen Shu's legs became weak and he knelt down, "The old minister Yuwen Shu came to take the crime!"

Yang Guang looked out the window with expressionless eyes. The surging anger in his heart seemed to be out of control, burning his heart numb. Yang Xuangan actually captured Guanzhong, which was so crazy that he could no longer describe it as hatred. He was bleeding in his heart, and a deep sense of crisis spread in his heart.

Yang Guang did not look back and said hoarsely: "Yuwen Shu, do you know your guilt?"

"I know my crime, but I don't teach my son strictly, which leads to him causing another big disaster!"

"I didn't talk about Yu Wenji. You were unable to kill Yang Xuangan two years ago, which led to today's disaster. Do you know the crime?"

Yuwen Shu's heart suddenly relaxed. It turned out to be something two years ago. He hurriedly said: "I already knew that he was hiding in Funiu Mountain and Shangluo County two years ago. I searched repeatedly, but I never dreamed that Zhang Ji, the prefect of Shangluo County, would actually cover up Yang Xuangan. Later, it was Yang Zhiji who replaced him, and I really didn't know what happened later."

After pausing, he added: "If I knew, I would not have let Yu Wenhua and go to Shangluo County to suppress the bandits, so that he would cause a big disaster."

Yang Guang turned his head and looked at Yuwen Shu. In fact, he had another idea in his mind. Two years ago, Yuwen Shu and Yang Xuangan had a deal. He deliberately let Yang Xuangan go, and this time he specially sent his eldest son Yu Wenhua to cooperate with Yang Xuangan to rebel.

But Yang Guang finally let go of this idea. If he did this, it would be of no benefit to Yuwen Shu. Yuwen Shu would not be so stupid, and Yuwen Shu could help anyone, but he would not help the Yang family.

Yang Guang nodded, "Yu Wenhua and I am very disappointed."

Yuwen Shu was happy. He felt that his disaster had passed and the rest was a small blame. He sighed and said, "Your Majesty also knows that he is indeed a stupid person. I am old and wanted him to make some achievements. I gain a future. Then I thought of him going to the weak bandits in Shangluo County, but I didn't expect... Alas! I hate him even if I have such a son!"

Yang Guang's expression relaxed a lot. Isn't it the same with his own son Yang Ming? He could understand Yu Wenshu's mood. Yu Wenshu is indeed a stupid and incompetent person. It's not that Yu Wenshu took the initiative to help Yang Xuangan, he doesn't have the courage yet.

The incident has happened, and it is useless to blame Yuwen Shu now. He summoned Yuwen Shu not to blame him. Yang Guang said coldly: "Yu Wenhua and caused a big disaster. If you are his father, you have to deal with this evil. I will give you a hundred thousand troops. Within two months, I will completely wipe out Yang Xuangan and come to see me with his head. I will spare your father and son, otherwise I will be punished by the crime!"

Yuwen Shu was completely relieved. Yang Guang was willing to give him 100,000 troops, which means he still trusted him, and then this matter could be made up. He immediately bowed and bowed, "Old minister obeyed the order!"

In the afternoon of the same day, Yang Guang issued an order to grant Yuwen Shu the Grand Marshal Pingxi, and Qu Tutong as the deputy commander. The two led a large army of 100,000 to Guanzhong to wipe out Yang Xuangan. Yang Guang's eyes were staring at Yang Yuanqing again. Will he lead his army south and meet with his father? This is what Yang Guang is most worried about.

...........

Yang Yuanqing, the Fengzhou General Administration Office, also stood in front of the window and pondered. There was a letter on the table, which was written by his father Yang Xuangan, who invited him to lead his army to Guanzhong, and the father and son jointly promoted the righteousness and captured the Yang Sui world.

This letter put Yang Yuanqing in a dilemma. He knew that Yang Xuangan's second rebellion was no longer popular. Although he had occupied Guanzhong, it did not mean that he could seize the world. In the era when the Sui Dynasty was deeply rooted in power groups and clans, it was almost impossible to seize the world by force alone. If he surrendered to Yang Xuangan, it would mean that he gave up the Shandong gentry. This huge political cost forced him to be cautious.

But on the other hand, this is indeed another temptation. Yang Xuangan seized Guanzhong. If he leads his army south again, then there is almost no suspense about their father and son seizing Guanlong. If he can fully occupy Guanlong, this is another advantage.

It was Guan Long's huge temptation that made Yang Yuanqing excited. He wanted to lead his army south, but another equally strong voice in his heart told him that he could not do this!

Yang Yuanqing also sighed. Since he couldn't choose, let his troops help him choose!

Yang Yuanqing turned around and walked out of the room and came to the next door meeting hall. The meeting hall was filled with 47 high-ranking civil and military officials including Du Ruhui, Li Jing, Cui Junsu, Luo Aiting, Yang Sien, Pei Renji, Ma Shao, Yang Jiachen, Su Dingfang, Pei Xingyan, etc., had already sat down.

In the middle of the long table was a cardboard box, and there was a note in front of each person, with a choice on each side, one "entering Guanzhong" and the other "not entering Guanzhong". Each person tear half of it into the cardboard box, and there were a total of forty-seven votes, including Yang Yuanqing's one vote, which is forty-eight votes, all of which were secret ballots. These forty-eight votes will determine the future of the Fengzhou army.

Yang Yuanqing walked into the room, "Have you voted?"

Du Ruhui nodded, "Everyone voted after voting, without any discussion, it was their own choice. Now it's just one vote left for the general manager."

Yang Yuanqing took out his vote, folded it in half, and slowly tear it into two. He looked for a while and finally threw half of the votes into the ballot box.

The reason why Yang Yuanqing did not use the method of voting after the debate, but adopted the secret voting method because Yang Yuanqing hoped that this decision would be based on his own personal interests, rather than the so-called righteousness or strategic advantages and disadvantages.

The Fengzhou Army was not just his army, Yang Yuanqing alone, but also an army of an interest group. Everyone followed him and Yang Yuanqing to fight the country, and they all had their own interests. He could not only consider his own righteousness and his own interests.

If most people choose to enter Guanzhong, then Yang Yuanqing would lead his army into Guanzhong without hesitation. He turned around to the clerk Zhang Liang and Jia Zhengyi and said, "You two start counting votes!"

The two of them hung a piece of white paper on the wall, with A on the left and entering Guanzhong; B on the right and not entering Guanzhong. According to Yang Yuanqing's method, the word "六" is used to indicate the votes.

Jia Zhengyi was responsible for reporting the tickets. Zhang Liang copied the regular words. Jia Zhengyi took out all the notes, sorted them out, and started reporting the tickets, "The first one will not be included in Guanzhong."

"The second picture is not included in Guanzhong!"

......

Everyone in the meeting hall sat upright, staring at the votes on the white paper with all their attention.

"The 48th picture, I won't enter Guanzhong!"

After the last vote was reported, there was a burst of applause in the meeting hall. All forty-eight votes were not included in Guanzhong, and no one agreed to enter Guanzhong, including Yang Yuanqing. Yang Yuanqing felt a little inexplicable touch in his heart. Their hearts had never been so neat.

Although no one said it, Yang Yuanqing knew in his heart that everyone was unwilling to work hard for the Yang Xuangan family. They would rather choose to conquer the world by themselves, including Guanlong people like Du Ruhui, Li Jing, Su Dingfang, and Ma Shao. They also gave up this opportunity.

Faced with forty-eight unanimous choices, Yang Yuanqing made the final decision, "Okay! Since everyone has expressed their attitude, then we won't enter Guanzhong."

...........

Everyone dispersed one after another, Du Ruhui walked into Yang Yuanqing's room and smiled and said, "The manager didn't expect it would be the result!"

Yang Yuanqing nodded and smiled bitterly, "I guess most people chose not to enter Guanzhong. After all, there are many people in Shandong, but I didn't expect it to be so consistent. This makes me very dissatisfied with Yang Xuangan's rebellion."

Du Ruhui sat down and said, "It is mainly because after the failure of the last uprising, everyone has seen Yang Xuangan more thoroughly. This person is indecisive, values ​​tribesmanship and is less than generals, and uses people but is suspicious. He cannot accomplish any major events. Following him, his family will be destroyed and everyone is unwilling to surrender."

"Does Brother Keming think so?"

Du Ruhui shook his head, "I actually opposed it because I think about you."

"Think about me?"

Yang Yuanqing was a little surprised and smiled and said, "Let's talk about it in detail!"

"The reason is very simple. When Yang Xuangan rebelled last time, you issued an edict to fight against the rebel Yang Xuangan, and he had already broken off the father-son relationship with him. If he rebelled this time, if you surrender again, what will the people in the world think of you?"

Yang Yuanqing nodded silently. Du Ruhui said very well. Du Ruhui said again: "Also, even if everyone supports you to surrender to Yang Xuangan, even if you take the world in the future, will the position of crown prince be your turn? If it is not your turn, what should you do? Will Yang Jun spare you? How can you explain to everyone? Yuan Qing, these problems are very realistic. When you were driven out of the clan by the Yang family, Yang Xuangan did not object, which means he also had prejudice against you. I dare to assert that he invites you to Guanzhong now, and he will use you more, rather than a father-son relationship."

Du Ruhui looked into Yang Yuanqing's eyes and said word by word: "If you lead your army to surrender to him, he will definitely kill you and take away your army."

Yang Yuanqing sighed slightly, "I just hope he can hold the restoration of the Guanlong nobles in Guanzhong for me."
