Chapter four hundred and seventy seventh Jiangdu conspiracy
One night passed.
Under the command of King Wu, the imperial army was still entangled with the rebels like candy, chasing them for hundreds of miles, with a relentless attitude.
However, a shocking change occurred in Jiangdu City...
Jiangdu City.
As the sun set, Yang Guang, Yang Lin and others returned to Jiangdu City and met Empress Xiao, Prince Yang Zhao, Duke Xu and Zuowei General Yu Wenshu and others. They finally felt relieved and felt a little sense of security.
.
This trip south gave Yang Guang a lot of gains, especially the "King Conference" that wiped out most of the anti-military forces. However, at the same time as the gains, it also dealt a heavy blow to Yang Guang. He was continuously assassinated and ambushed, and he was in critical condition every time.
, made Yang Guang clearly aware of his own lack of personal strength and the decline of the prestige of the Sui Empire.
Especially the Hanjiang ambush battle made Yang Guang see the power of the public enemy in the world, and he felt extremely heavy and had a sense of crisis that made him suffocate.
Today, Yang Guang only wants to return to the Western Capital as soon as possible, so that he can truly feel relieved and feel a sense of security.
However, everyone knows that the road back to the Western Capital will never be smooth, but will be extremely dangerous.
Apart from anything else, those forces that were severely damaged in the "King Conference" and appeared in the Hanjiang ambush battle will never allow Yang Guang to return to the Western Capital smoothly. Otherwise, it will be their doom by then, and it will be Yang Guang's turn to liquidate them!
The bright moon is rising, the full moon is hanging high, and the clear moonlight spreads all over the earth, covering Jiangdu, one of the three capitals, with a layer of bright light, shining brightly.
After successive battles, as soon as he arrived in Jiangdu, Yang Guang immediately held a meeting to discuss the arrangements for returning to the capital, and issued an edict to return to the Western Capital as soon as possible.
"General Yuan, General Linghu, General Pei!"
The meeting ended and most people left mentally exhausted. As soon as the ministers arrived at the gate of Jiangdu Palace, Xu Guogong Yu Wenshu brought his sons Yu Wenhuaji, Yuwen Zhiji, etc., Chao Yuanli, Pei Qantong, Linghu Xingda and other imperial ministers to greet them.
He said, paused, smiled and invited:
"On this trip to Yangzhou, several generals have worked hard and made great achievements. I have prepared a little wine and some entertainment. Can any of the generals be willing to reward me?"
"Now?!" Pei Qantong asked with a frown. Yu Wenshu knew that they were quite tired at this time and just wanted to have a good rest, so he invited them at this time?!
In addition, the Holy One wants to return to the Western Capital as soon as possible. Then they are very busy and don't have much time to rest. Naturally, they must cherish their time!
"Now! I have been making arrangements for a long time and have spent a lot of time and energy. How about asking a few generals to give me some thin noodles?"
Yu Wenshu nodded affirmatively and offered a sincere invitation with a pun.
Yuan Li, Pei Qantong and others looked at each other, but after all they were too timid to save Xu Guogong's face and nodded.
Jiangdu City, Yuwen Mansion.
As one of the most prestigious and powerful families in the Sui Empire, the Yuwen family had mansions in many important cities, including Jiangdu, one of the three major heavenly capitals, so naturally there was one.
"The arrangements are being made in the front hall now. How about you go to the back house and have a chat first?"
Entering Yuwen Mansion, Yu Wenshu did not take everyone to the reception hall of the front mansion, but greeted them again.
Pei Qantong and others naturally had no objections as the guest did as he pleased.
After a while, everyone arrived at the back house of Yuwen Mansion. As soon as they stepped in, Yuan Li and others stopped in their tracks and their expressions changed slightly.
At this time, several people had gathered in the palace. Wang Shichong, who was handsome and handsome, and Ma Wenju, who should have been in Jiangdu Palace, were two important officials of the Sui Dynasty who should not have been here.
It stands to reason that Wang Shichong should be further south now, responsible for suppressing the southern rebels. As Yang Guang's close ministers, they did not receive news from Yang Guang to recall Wang Shichong. In other words, Wang Shichong sneaked in on his own, and the charges may be serious or minor.
Ma Wenju is the commander-in-chief of the imperial court. It is his turn to be on duty today and tomorrow. He should stay with Yang Guang at this time, let alone appear here.
What made Yuan Li, Pei Qantong and others feel chills on their backs and numb scalps was...
The Taoist Immortal Ziyang Zhenren and the Shaolin Temple Huixin Divine Monk, who were supposed to be chased by the Evil Martial King Wu Xin, were actually present.
In addition, there are the Five Gods of the Righteous Way: the Water God, the Fire God, the Medicine God, and the Ghost Emperor of the Four Demons of the Demon Sect, as well as famous figures such as Wang Xin, the Confucian scholar of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and Wen Zhongzi Wang Tong.
"Hongmen Banquet! The Yuwen clan rebelled..."
Yuan Li, Pei Qantong and others' expressions suddenly changed, their hearts thumped, and they thought immediately.
They looked at each other in shock, and instinctively looked back. No one was blocking them behind them. However, looking at the lineup of people in the hall, it was impossible for them to get out of Yuwen Mansion.
What makes people sigh is that recently, the pillar of the Yuwen clan, the Sky Demon Yuwen Chengdu, is loyal and courageous, and will protect the master to the death. For Yang Guang, he even risked his life several times. He is definitely a representative of loyal ministers. However, the Sky Demon's
However, the family secretly colluded with the rebels and made it clear that they wanted to rebel, and it would not be short-lived.
"How many generals are here? I have long admired your name, please take a seat!"
Yuan Li, Pei Qantong and others looked at each other in shock and panic. The immortal Ziyang Zhenren greeted him kindly, which made people feel impressed and their goodwill greatly increased.
"..."
Yuan Li and others opened their mouths, but in the end they said nothing. They entered and took their seats in silence with ugly and heavy faces.
Say hello to the rebels? If it is leaked, it will be the same as rebellion.
Frankly speaking, most of the people, including Yuan Li and Pei Qian Tong, wanted to leave. However, they were not stupid. Do they still want to leave after seeing the people in the hall?!
This time, they were completely fooled by Xu Guogong Yu Wenshu!
For a moment, the atmosphere was quite solemn and depressing, and Yuan Li and others' hearts were beating like drums!
"Amitabha! The tyrant is innocent and the whole world will punish him. With the wisdom of all the generals, can Yang Guang overcome many disasters and return to the Western Capital this time?"
During the silence, the taciturn Huixin Divine Monk announced the Buddha's name and asked in a calm tone and with a look of asking for advice.
It's calm, it's asking for advice, but it's clear and unquestionable!
Apart from anything else, just with the power and strength represented by everyone present, it would be impossible for Yang Guang to return to the Western Capital smoothly, and the possibility of returning safely is extremely slim.
The expressions of Yuan Li, Pei Qantong and others changed drastically. Some people hesitated to speak, but sighed secretly and remained silent.
Silence equals acquiescence. Frankly speaking, seeing the lineup in front of them, they really don't think much of Yang Guang!
Not only Yuan Li, but also Pei Qantong and others, many imperial soldiers, holy guards, etc. also have similar mentality.
Just from Yangzhou to Jiangdu, nearly half of the imperial army and holy guards were lost. Now we have to return from Jiangdu to Xidu, from south to north, from east to west, how many people will eventually return to Xidu?!
"I guarantee it in the name and reputation of Chunyang Palace and Taoist Immortal! In one sentence, as long as the generals comply with God's will and let Yang Guang stay in Jiangdu, the generals can protect their lives, status, wealth, and wealth.
The road is far better than today!"
During the silence, Master Ziyang frowned and spoke with a solemn and solemn face.
who is he?!
Taoist Immortal Ziyang Zhenren! (To be continued.)
