Chapter 2 Betrayal (No. 2 Middle School) Seeing Yang Guang suddenly fainted, Eunuch Wen, who was serving him tea and water next to him, was so frightened that he rushed forward in three or two steps, hugged the "Shengtianzi" in his arms, and beat his back for him.
He caressed his chest and ordered someone to go to the imperial doctor immediately.
In the palace, an imperial doctor was on duty every day when he heard that His Majesty the Emperor had fainted. He was so frightened that his legs and feet were weak. He was helped by Dugu Lin, Yu Wenshi and two other people who came to do something, and he rushed there crawling on the ground.
Under the guidance of the imperial doctor, the civil and military officials in the imperial study found Yang Guang on a dragon bed, laid him down on his back, beat his back and stroked his chest, and performed acupuncture and moxibustion for a while. Finally, Yang Guang was brought back from the gate of hell.
"General Zhang will not die in battle, you must be mistaken." After being rescued from a coma, Yang Guang first shed tears and was sad alone for a while, then he managed to pull himself together and told the people who came over to visit him after hearing the news.
The civil and military officials said something without thinking.
"Yes, yes, this news was just sent from Dongdu today. It has not been verified yet. Someone must have made a mistake. Your Majesty, don't worry. I will send someone to find out the truth immediately!" Yu Shiji couldn't bear to make Yang Guang feel sad anymore, so he hurriedly
Follow his tone of voice and perfunctoryly
"There must be a mistake. General Zhang is protected by Qin Shubao and Luo Shixin. Both of them are rare brave generals in the world. How could he let the old general be injured by thieves? You made a mistake. You passed on my order and called Dongdu
Behead the guy who falsely reported military information to the public, go quickly, go quickly!" Yang Guang showed an "innocent" smile on his pale face and ordered at the top of his lungs (this book is an exclusive buyout work of 17k Literature Network, please support genuine subscription)
"I will draft an edict immediately. These scheming guys will be alarmist!" Yu Shiji wiped away his tears and choked up his promise. At that moment, he felt that almost all of his backbone had been taken away. He was not as big and deep-rooted as other powerful ministers.
, The Yu family comes from Nan Chenquan, which has long been wiped out. With Yang Guang's trust, he can dominate the government. If Yang Guang dies at this moment, the glory and wealth of the Yu family will inevitably go with the wind.
"Your Majesty, please express your condolences. General Zhang was indeed killed in battle!" Before Yu Shiji could go out, the general came to take care of his son and came to the bedside. He ruthlessly smashed Yang Guang's fantasy to pieces. "No way, General Zhang."
You won't die!" Yang Guang grabbed the medicine bowl in the waiter's hand and threw it at Lai Hu'er along with the soup inside. "You cruel thief, why are you cursing Old General Zhang to death? He has been in the same palace as you for many years.
, I have never offended you, so why do you hate him and curse him like this!"
In an instant, Yang Guang's pale face turned livid, his eyebrows stood up, his eyes were as cold as a knife, he wished he could stab directly into Hu'er's chest. He refused to believe the news of Zhang Xutuo's death. In today's Sui Dynasty, when it comes to the use of troops,
In terms of fighting ability, almost no one is as good as Zhang Xutuo. If the Wagang army could even kill Zhang Xutuo, who in the government and the public could protect the world of the Sui Dynasty?
Lai Hu'er did not dodge, and was hit on the shoulder by the medicine bowl. He knelt straight down, letting the steaming medicine drip down his sleeves. "If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask General Yuwen and General Dugu."
, the two of them have long wanted to report this news to His Majesty, but they have been summoned by His Majesty!"
Yang Guang's eyes swept over the faces of Yu Wenshiji and Dugu Lin, and he saw the answer from the sad and angry expressions on their faces: "You have all colluded to fool me. You want to go out and make contributions, I will not be fooled by you!"
He smiled, opened his mouth sadly, and sprayed a mouthful of blood onto the dragon robe.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" All civil and military officials turned pale with fright and shouted repeatedly.
"Here, give me a bowl of tea to rinse my mouth with!" Yang Guang spat out the blood in his mouth and let out a cry, "God will not bless the Sui Dynasty, but there is nothing anyone can do! Stop shouting, I won't die for a while!
"
Wen Yidao quickly ordered someone to get ginseng tea and gargled Yang Guang's mouth. After a moment, Yang Guang finally took a breath again, waved his hand towards the guardian, and ordered: "You are flat, I don't blame you, General Zhang."
Why did they die in battle? Where are Qin Shubao and Luo Shixin? Why couldn't they save the old general?"
"General, I got the news from Quan Zi." Lai Hu'er tried his best to sound calm, instead of suppressing his anger, "Someone from Xingyang came to Dongdu this morning to report the news. They are General Dugu's old troops. Details.
General Dugu asked everything clearly!"
As early as two years ago, he and Dugu Lin reminded Yang Guang that although the Qijun soldiers were known to be good at fighting, they were not many in number, and their armor and equipment were not as sophisticated as those of the Fu soldiers. If the imperial court wanted to put down the Wagang army as soon as possible,
If there is a rebellion, we must increase our support for the old general Zhang Xutuo. Even if we cannot transfer elite soldiers from the government to Zhang Xutuo's command, we must at least ensure the daily supply of food, grass and ordnance. Yang Guang handed the memorial to the ministers for circulation.
Finally, they came to the unanimous conclusion that what they said was untrue. The court did not need to spend too much money on the rat and dog thieves. With the bravery of General Zhang Xutuo, they could be wiped out in a short time!
At that time, Lai Hu'er and Dugu Lin argued hard, but the topic of the argument was brought up by Yu Shiji and others as to whether they had selfish motives. Thanks to Yang Guang, who was still thinking of the hard work of the two, he did not
They were handed over to justice
"Really? Why didn't he come directly to the palace to see me?" Yang Guang hesitated for a moment and murmured. Maybe he also realized that this question was a bit stupid. He smiled miserably and ordered in a low voice: "Here again.
Mu, I don't blame you if you tell the truth. I regret not listening to you now!"
"Your Majesty, my condolences. If General Zhang knew that Your Majesty valued him so much, he would definitely be able to smile!" Dugu Lin took a few steps forward and lowered his head to comfort him. Although he was resentful of Yang Guang deep in his heart, as a minister, he still
You cannot blame your master, "The Wagang Army has always been cunning. They succeeded this time because Qin Shubao and Luo Shixin were not with General Zhang..."
"Where have they gone? Who transferred them away?" Yang Guang asked angrily before Dugu Lin could finish his words.
"Your Majesty, it was Dongdu that sent several ships as offerings. General Zhang was afraid of losses along the way, so he specially sent Generals Qin and Luo to lead the county soldiers to escort them along the canal. Unexpectedly, they had just delivered the fleet.
Before he could return to Xingyang, General Zhang was already in trouble!" Huangmen Shilang Pei Ju was afraid that Dugu Lin would put the blame on himself, so he answered first (this book is an exclusive buyout work of 17k Literature Network, please support genuine subscription)"
It was Mr. Pei who ordered General Zhang to send someone to escort him!" Lai Hu'er's hatred for Pei Ju and others was clearly written on his face. Zhang Xutuo's death made him furious. Today, he risked being burned by both jade and stone.
We also need to expose Pei Ju’s true colors
"Why did the old general say this? It's always unsafe on the canal. You should also know." Pei Ju turned his head and responded loudly.
"Didn't Mr. Pei always say that there are fewer thieves every day? Why do you say it's not safe on the canal!" Lai Hu'er sneered, "If there are fewer thieves every day, why do you have to ask General Zhang to send someone to escort the fleet? If the thieves are so rampant, they have to get Qin Shubao."
If only a brave general like Luo Shixin can intimidate me, Master Pei, haven't you been deceiving me for the past two years?"
"You!" Even though Pei Ju was clever, his face turned pale due to these two questions. Yang Guang was trying to find a scapegoat for Zhang Xutuo's war. If Lai Hu'er bit him, his net worth would be ruined.
My life is in danger today
Seeing that Pei and Lai were about to argue in front of Yang Guang's bed, Yuwen Shiji hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over: "General Lai, please don't get angry, and there is no need for Mr. Pei to be upset. The matter is now over, let's listen to what General Dugu has to say first."
over!"
After all, with the words and deeds of his father Yuwenshu, Yuwen Shiji knew very well in his mind the rights and wrongs of the two sides in the dispute. In his eyes, the reason why Pei Ju, Yu Shiji and others dared to deduct the food, wages and supplies of the children of Qijun again and again must be behind them.
With the tacit approval of His Majesty the Emperor, Yang Guang hoped that Zhang Xutuo could wipe out the Wagang Army as soon as possible. At the same time, Yang Guang was not worried that a team stronger than the imperial soldiers would appear near Dongdu. Because the imperial court held an ambivalent attitude,
Therefore, the children of Qijun have not been able to receive effective support and supplements. Although there are several teams that went to Xingyang to assist the old general in suppressing the bandits, it is rare for them to not hold back the county soldiers. There is no mention of any frontal support.
After many efforts, for more than a year, the combat effectiveness of the county soldiers has actually been gradually declining. Especially after Li Xu was ordered to take office in Hebei, the combat effectiveness of Qijun's county soldiers has dropped to the limit before the collapse. In this case,
Yang Guang also repeatedly issued orders urging General Zhang to end the war as soon as possible, which was equivalent to pushing the old general into the tiger's mouth.
"Two dear friends, stop arguing, what the prince consort said is true!" Yang Guang was unwilling to bring out all the mistakes in the past, so he ordered in an extremely weak voice.
"Huh!" Lai Hu'er stomped her feet vigorously and stepped aside.
"Tsk!" Pei Ju let out an almost inaudible sneer, his face full of contempt.
"The Wagang Army took advantage of the absence of Qin Shubao and Luo Shixin, so they set a trap for Master Zhang and they went down the mountain to provoke them. They took the initiative to fight with the county soldiers and then pretended to be defeated and showed weakness. They were chased for more than ten miles and lured General Zhang to
After approaching Dahai Temple, Li Mi surrounded the old general with ten times more troops and horses!" Dugu Lin wiped away his tears and continued, "The old general had already broken out of the siege, but Li Mi sent people to shout on the top of the mountain that he would be surrounded.
After the old general heard that his brothers were cut to pieces by a thousand cuts, he turned back to rescue the trapped brothers. As a result, Li Mi sent people to intercept half of them every time. Every time the old general broke through, he had to go back to rescue the four such brothers...
..
For Dugu Lin, Zhang Xutuo can be said to be both a teacher and a friend. Zhang Xutuo set an example and taught him the responsibilities on the shoulders of generals. Zhang Xutuo patiently taught him how to win the support of the soldiers. Zhang Xutuo used a
His words and deeds made him put away the innate arrogance of a child of aristocratic family, and began to open his eyes to re-recognize the whole world and the friends around him.
Zhang Xutuo is a model of military generals. Zhang Xutuo is the pillar of the Sui Dynasty. Zhang Xutuo used an iron shoulder to protect the homes of hundreds of thousands of people. Zhang Xutuo died in battle, and his death was unknown...
