After coping with Xiao Huanghou’s return to Danyang from Yangzhou, Xiao Xian met his wife, Princess Yang Jieying of Nanyang, who came back in a hurry, and entered the palace to ask Yang Guang to intercede for her husband because she was afraid of Yang Guang’s heavy responsibility. Xiao Xian really didn’t know it, but Yang Jieying kept it from Xiao Xian and rushed to Xiao Xian privately. According to the current situation, it can be judged that Yang Guang did not dare to be heavy-handed with him.
However, he is still very grateful to his wife, especially after thinking about Yang Jieying’s intercession, which can better show his Xiao Xian’s "dying and going to the hospital" and reflect his panic when Xiao Xian heard about it. From the perspective of the bureau, it is also good for his acting skills, otherwise it will seem a little scared as if he had expected it.
From public to private, Xiao Xian didn’t dare to conserve energy and Yang Jieying had a showdown. He said that he would lead troops to the Western Expedition to quell the chaos in the day, and then he would do his best to wait on his mother with all kinds of flowers and live. He was almost too tired to straighten up the next morning, but he still had to support his horse to go out.
Fortunately, the army can ride horses by boat before starting from Danyang to Wuchang County, but it is necessary to set up a pse station in this section from Danyang out of the city to Caoxiexia Wharf, and Xiao Xian is also safe. Last night, the boat was able to rest after a short walk.
Counting carefully, he is 32 years old, and time waits for no man. Although he has risen faster than the same period in history for several years because of various operations after crossing, he always feels that the good time is not enough-Xiao Xian started his army at the age of 36 and lasted for two years with nothing. At the age of 30, he was defeated by Li Yuan and was caught in Chang’ an.
I think that Yang Guang was about thirty-five years old when he became emperor, and he already felt that it was too late to be enthroned. In the rest of his life, he didn’t finish repairing the Great Wall, digging canals, promoting imperial examinations, annihilating the four barbarians, and expanding the territory … and so on. Xiao Xian asked himself if he wanted to do something less than Yang Guang, and he didn’t know if he would be eager to achieve the second Yang Guang in his later years.
Sometimes whenever I think about this question, Xiao Xian can’t help but assume in my heart that from this perspective, although the original history of Li Shimin’s killing brother won the position, it is still a little good for the stability of the country, because all the imperial clan brothers who participated in the national war often have the problem of exultation because they have seen more and experienced bloody storms. If they became emperors and didn’t make their own achievements, they almost refused to stop, such as Li Shimin’s crusade against Turks and Goguryeo; Zhao Jiong’s crusade against Qidan was defeated, which led to the tragic disaster of Gaoliang River. Zhu Di is going to do things like cutting Mobei five times.
If history makes Li Jiancheng emperor, he will be in his forties according to his age and life span. Maybe he will become eager for quick success and instant benefit just like Yang Guang, and Li Shimin is twelve years younger than his brother. The theoretical mentality will be better.
Gossip Hugh flocculant said Xiao Xian paranoia army has been collected and ready to go at any time-prepared so fully, of course, it is Xiao Xian’s recent strict rule of the army, so that hand generals such as Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Weichi Gong, etc. will be able to restrain the troops to prepare for war at any time, but the actual nature is that Dong Jingzhen and Lei Shimeng are thieves, and Xiao Xian supports them through secret joint trading through Wu Shihuo’s foreign officials. It is naturally very fast to let them be forced to trigger when the Xiao Xian army reacts.
After the review of the army, a warship was boarded at Caoxiexia Ferry. In total, there were more than 500 large-scale warships, all of which were the core elites of the imperial navy brought out by Xiao Xian over the years.
The only thing that makes people feel a little unusual is that this time, all the warships are pursuing a large volume of sand boats, and a small number of warships with five teeth were left in the early years of the imperial court, but there was no wheel Ge gradually developed in recent ten years.
For this problem, if the Xiao Xian Army Navy commanders are asked by the amateur military colleagues, the unified official explanation is naturally due to the fact that the wheels of the Ge are quite wasteful and the manpower can pedal on the water wheel to inform the small whistle boat; And this time, the army went out with a total force of more than 50 thousand people, so it is not cost-effective to transport by wheel Ge on such a scale.
Actually, this standard answer is a bit redundant, because most of the generals who came to see Xiao Xian off are amateurs to the water army, especially those who came to Xiao Guojun, including Yu Wenhua and Sima Dekun, but they don’t know anything about the water army. These people will come to pay tribute to the war ceremony, which is obviously commanded by Yang Guangyu.
……
At the Caoxiexia Ferry, Sima De and Pei Qiantong looked at the fleet in a secluded place, and silently calculated it again. This time, Xiao Xian sent troops to mobilize the troops of "Ma bu" or horse stance just look.
"Xiao Xian was scolded by the bad king this time, and he dared not contribute. Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Weichi Gong and others brought all twenty thousand cavalry troops to attack with the army.
It seems that Jiang Dongjun has not left any cavalry units near Danyang, but the step army has been transferred out of Xiao Xian to do Wuchang, and a thief who was sent to Fujian to destroy Lin Shihong fled into the remnants of Wuyishan. Although the size of the step army is still not small, it will be green and yellow. I don’t know how to get rid of forty thousand troops and leave twenty or thirty thousand people near Danyang at most. "
"Duke Sima is not bad. Now Jiangnan soldiers can mobilize 20,000 or 30,000 troops, and all of them have to cross the river in a hurry. They want our news to be blocked. After a few days of hands-on, it is assumed that Fan Wenchao’s Heluo soldiers will be strictly neutral and there will be Zhang Tonger’s Jianghuai soldiers with us. Then they are far from our Zhongjun opponents!"
"Yes, it’s now or never. Today, I will have a showdown with General Yuwen. In four days, the expansion of rumors in the army will make all the officers of a captain in the army know that the bad king has brewed poisonous wine, etc. After the Mid-Autumn Festival officially announced the move to the capital, we will wait for our reaction. Any military distribution team who tries to admonish the bad king will persuade the famous banquet to appease the opposition generals!
When rumors are brewing and people’s hearts are thoroughly mastered, we will start work on the eve of Mid-Autumn Festival. According to the marching speed of the Xiao Xian army now, we should just arrive in Wuchang County five days later. When we start work here, the outside world knows that Xiao Xian has entered Yueyang County and the rebels are fighting.
When the time comes, the rebels will surely have not lost their momentum in the first battle. If Xiao Xian wants to win quickly, it is an idiotic dream. If the army wants to retreat, it will not be easy. I am afraid that we will arrive at the big picture when we are not fully waiting! "
Chapter 47 The Great Escape
Five days later, on the eve of Mid-Autumn Festival
In the past five days, Yang Guang still didn’t have an angel to continue to firmly and formally decide to take high-handed measures against the resistance forces before moving the capital to Danyang. In the past few days, another senior general named Dou Xian of Xiao Guojun, who was a corps commander, was killed by Yang Guangzhi. Of course, it was because this Dou Xian actually organized hand soldiers to flee in an organized way, and because Yang Guang sent several generals to kill him, he arrested Dou Xian and put him to death.
Although this Dou Xian is a middleman, he is already a relatively moderate in Xiao Guo’s military forces. Before his death, Dou Xian had already passed Xiao Guo’s military department’s increasingly fierce rumors these days. He was aware of the tense atmosphere because he was relatively timid and did not dare to rebel. Even at this point, he still dared to flee to passive resistance and did not dare to resist by force. It was precisely because he knew that this person was weak that Sima De and Yu Culture had never dared to woo this guy before. Who knew that he was killed like this?
This is the last straw that overwhelmed Xiao Guo’s loyalty in the army-even the senior generals at the rank of Lang General fled with thousands of soldiers. Who should it be? If there are more senior generals fleeing again, Yu Wenhua will have to flee in person to be qualified to escalate the situation.
At this point, the real Xiao Guojun has been forced into the point of polarization, either loyal or rebellious, and there is no possibility of fleeing in the middle state to stay out of it, which is completely blocked by Yang Guang’s high-pressure killing.
Xiao Guo, the soldiers in the army, together with leading them to the distribution school, prepared for two days before the atmosphere was suppressed, and outsiders could see that something was wrong.
……
At dusk on this day-that is, at four or five o’clock in the afternoon-Yang Guang’s eldest grandson and twelve-year-old prince Yang Ying were prepared to enter the palace to pay their respects. As a result, when they visited the Fanglin Gate, the city gate outside the East Palace of Jiangdu Palace, his personal bodyguard found that this gate had been relieved by a group of temporarily increased soldiers.
"The change of the Fanglin Gate in the temple is all people I have never seen before, but it’s still necessary to go in the past … The original patrol outside this gate should be the right Hou Weihu Benlang, who will be a Feng Pu musician, Ma Fengpule, and his four Beizhi are all aware that they are not in the right place now."
"The relief? And live "Yang Xian, although twelve years old, has been alert to smell speech and lift the car curtain probe and went out to see it. He really felt that the atmosphere was wrong. After a moment’s hesitation, he said decisively," Let’s go back and don’t disturb them. You can take two smart people around the sluice to see if there is still a file there-if it is not unusual, you can’t know the secret door by patrolling Fanglin Gate every day. "
"It’s BeiZhi’s obedience. I’ll come and go."
Yang Lan, the bodyguard commander, should have Yang Lan’s sedan chair carried away first, and then he took two brothers to detour to find his way. The defenders outside Fanglin Gate were not at all alert to this because Yang Lan had not been too close to Fanglin Gate before. Who knows if he was going to enter the palace or just passed by the side street outside the palace gate?
However, when a tea kung fu guard came back, it was reported that the sluice near Taiyi Pool on the left side of Fanglin Gate was relieved, and sure enough, someone guarded Yang Xian and immediately took him there. However, because there was no boat to meet him, the guards were able to swim with Yang Xian on their backs, and the martial arts of the good guards were still quite good, but it was a hindrance.
After Yang Lan entered Miyagi, it was discovered that the situation was worse than expected. It turned out that not only the patrol outside the siege and the gate guards were replaced, but also the defenses leading to the main gate of Miyagi East and West Gardens were changed. Yang Lan knew that something bad was going on, and he was even more afraid to expose his whereabouts. He directly entered the palace from the East Garden and let people follow him around the Xuanwu Gate in the north of the main hall, and then let his guards report with tokens there.
"Lu and you come here for a while before you take this token, a surname said that the prince was dying of a sudden illness; Begging to see you seriously ill, you can’t start, but you can still look forward to visiting you out of the palace. "
The bodyguard leader naturally wants to obey, but at the moment, he hesitates to wake up like a rhetorical question. "If the temple is really cut off by thieves at home and abroad, it’s a top priority near Xuanwu Gate, but the thieves won’t control things. The two gardens have missed this door, but if they go there, they will die, but if the temple’s whereabouts are exposed, they will be searched … It’s better for the temple to withdraw from Fanglin Gate’s humble position from Taiyuichi Sluice and then report it."
"no! If I leave, if my grandfather agrees, I can’t immediately tell you that I chose this Xuanwu Gate for a reason, but you don’t know that my grandfather came to Jiangdu for a reason. Not only did he rely on Xiao Guojun to lodge in the palace to ban Xuanwu Gate, but he also raised 500 elite soldiers to call’ geishi’, all of whom chose the most supportive to move the capital from Danyang, and his grandfather gave back 500 to make each maid-in-waiting concubine a favor. It is absolutely impossible for these people to betray his grandfather.
If the thief really wants to cut off the news to the Xuanwu gate at most, that is, from the periphery, he can’t kill the door. If you go this time, if the thief really refuses to let you go, you will make a noise, so that the door will make the army hear the noise, so that they will be alert. I will report the change to the emperor’s grandfather, and it will be achieved. "
