Chapter 2 Betrayal (Part 2) Zhang Xutuo, the general of the Shangzhu Kingdom and Dr. Zuo Guanglu, actually risked his own life to rescue his subordinates. Pei Ju, Yu Shiji, Feng Deyi and others looked at each other and were helpless.
I believe what Dugu Lin said is true. In the eyes of these "extremely intelligent" civil servants, the old general's move can be said to be chivalrous, but the word "crazy" can also be used to describe the fact that a noble person in a position of power is doing nothing for those cheap people.
Soldiers who are like dirt "commit suicide". This kind of behavior is really incomprehensible to them and they absolutely cannot do it.
But at this moment, all the civil servants' faces were full of sadness. In any case, Zhang Xutuo had a deep prestige among the generals. There was no need for them to offend a large group of soldiers for the sake of a dead old man. Moreover, Yang Guang was on the hospital bed.
Already reduced to tears, as "loyal" confidants, Yu, Pei and others had no reason not to shed a few cheap tears with their master.
"It's me, it's me who is confused. I'm sorry for Old General Zhang!" Yang Guang sobbed and cried for a long time, blaming himself in a hoarse voice. "Old General Zhang has always been cautious in using troops. If I hadn't repeatedly issued orders to urge the old general to put down the rebellion as soon as possible.
…….”
"Your Majesty, please express your condolences for the death of a man who cannot be resurrected. The most important thing now is to give General Zhang a posthumous honor to express his gratitude to the children of Anqi County!" Yu Shiji was afraid that the generals would continue to pursue him, Pei Ju and others in front of Yang Guang for lying about military information and deducting money.
We can’t wait to advise on the evil deeds of officers and soldiers in various places such as supplying supplies.
Lai Hu'er has always admired Zhang Xutuo, but he was misunderstood by Yang Guang just now. He was full of grievances and had no place to notice. At this time, Yu Shiji still showed up with a shy face to be a good person. He was so angry that he rushed forward and grabbed him.
The other party's neck collar roared: "Bitch thief, don't you feel guilty at all?"
Yu Shiji was a standard Jiangnan scholar. His stature was half shorter than that of Lai Hu'er, and his width was almost half that of his opponent. He used force to protect Lai Hu'er's opponent, but he wanted to escape, but he was helpless and powerless, like a hooked creature in mid-air.
He stretched out his hands and kicked his legs like a crab, calling for help, "Let go, let go... Your Majesty, help..."
"Come here, general. Don't be rude in front of His Majesty!" Pei Ju, the Huangmen minister who was in charge of government affairs, raised his eyes and shouted angrily.
"I'm just rude. What can you do? That's all. Today I will kill you national thieves for Your Majesty to honor General Zhang's soul in heaven and then commit suicide in front of Your Majesty as a token of gratitude!" Lai Hu'er's eyes were red and he held up one hand.
Carrying Yu Shiji, who looked like a dead crab, he strode towards Pei Ju, the servant of Huangmen.
Feng Deyi, the admonishing doctor who was on good terms with Pei Ju, Yu Shiji and others, and his secretary Lang Yuanchong and others tried to break up the fight, but Lai Hu'er bumped him with his shoulder, and they immediately turned into gourds. The guards commander Yu Wenhao and Xiong Wu
Yu Wenshiji, the commander of the battalion, Dugu Lin, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, and others were not accustomed to seeing Pei Ju, so they simply turned cold and watched the excitement. Pei Ju, the Huangmen servant, asked himself that he did not have the ability to compete with Lai Huer with bare hands, so he had to walk around the pillar in a hurry.
Hu'er carried Yu Shiji, who was already fainting, and chased after him. He wished he could pile the two of them together and take out the heart and liver on the spot to see what color it was.
The incident happened suddenly, and Yang Guang also lost his position. He wanted to stop and protect his son, but he felt so confused that the other party had just questioned Pei and Yu. He could clearly hear the words of Pei and Yu. Only a peerless warrior could deter the rogue bandits.
Indeed, it cannot be regarded as scabies itch, but since three years ago, capable officials and contemporary celebrities such as Pei Ju, Pei Yun, Yu Wenshu, Yu Shiji, Zheng Shanguo, and Feng Deyi have been insisting that the rogue bandits should be destroyed as soon as possible.
The Sui Emperor also denounced Lao Nayan Su Wei, Censor Wei Yun, and Minister of War Zhao Xiaocai for "alarmist" accusations. He even had Jianjie Lieutenant Ren Zong, who was promoted to a higher level, be punished in court...
If what Lai Huer, Dugu Lin and others said is the truth, could it be that what he, the emperor, always believed was a group of sycophants? If most of the civil and military officials in the dynasty were sycophants, wouldn’t he, the emperor, be a coward? If he, the emperor, were mostly sycophants
If it is true that he was a foolish king and the people rose up in rebellion, wouldn't it mean that the Sui Dynasty was already seriously ill?
When he thought of this, Yang Guang was as distraught as Pei Ju and others were crying out in front of his sick bed. He actually turned a deaf ear and felt that everything in front of him was a nightmare. From the moment he first personally conquered Liaodong with his imperial chariot, everything happened in the government and the public.
Everything is just a dream. Mai Iron Staff is not dead, Xin Shixiong is not dead, and the 300,000 elite soldiers who supported the Sui Dynasty are not dead. He, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, accidentally fell asleep in Huaiyuan Town on the bank of the Liao River. As long as
Someone can wake up from a nightmare with a gentle push with his hand
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Eunuch Wen, who was closest to Yang Guang, was the first to realize that something was wrong with him. He leaned into his ear and called in a low voice.
Yang Guang's eyes were still straight, and blood mixed with saliva flowed down from the corner of his mouth. He felt that he was not in the palace, but back to the time when he was in the 510,000-strong southern expedition army. He was full of energy, had a sharp mind, and was able to conquer the city as easily as possible under his command.
Yang Su in literature, Gao Ying in martial arts, He Ruobi, white horse and silver robe, majestic and heroic...
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Eunuch Wen called several times in succession. When he found that Yang Guang was motionless, he increased his strength and pushed Yang Guang's shoulder, "Stop making trouble, Your Majesty, Your Majesty has passed out!" He shouted angrily.
Drink, my heart is filled with despair
The civil and military officials in the room finally realized that Yang Guang was in danger. They did not bother to argue anymore and rushed to the hospital bed. "His Majesty did not faint! His eyes are still open!" Many people immediately recognized this fact, but His Majesty's soul was gone.
There is only one body left!" Everyone came to the conclusion at the same time, but no one dared to say it. They were as frightened as ants on a hot pot.
"Stay away, stay away from His Majesty. No one can make a sound. General Dugu, please fulfill your duty as the commander of the Royal Forest Army!" Duke Wen used his big hand to push away the pillar officials who he usually did not dare to offend, and ordered all the civil and military officials.
Knowing that he was in trouble, he obediently opened a passage and asked the imperial doctor to seize all the time to diagnose and treat Yang Guang. The imperial doctor, who had been frightened to death, knew that if Yang Guang could not be rescued today, he would have to pay for it with all his life and worth.
Regardless of the identity of the other party, he grabbed a handful of silver needles and stabbed Yang Guang's head hard one by one.
It was only half a stick of incense, but for Pei Ju, Lai Hu'er and others, it took tens of thousands of years. Yang Guang's soul finally returned to his body. He sighed long and asked miserably: "What are you doing?"
If we stop fighting, will Yu Qing and Pei Qing die? Did General Lai commit suicide to sacrifice each other?"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I will never dare to do this again!" Pei Ju, who had a bruised nose and face, and Yu Shiji, who had just been slapped awake by Yuwen Shiji, were lying on the ground, crying and apologizing.
"The last general is innocent, please punish me!" Lai Huer did not dare to make Yang Guang angry again, and knelt down in front of the hospital bed, kowtowing to the ground.
"You all get up. I know that you are all grieving excessively, so I won't hold you accountable. I won't hold you accountable!" Yang Guang waved his hand and weakly ordered.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Pei Ju and Yu Shiji agreed, and stood aside aggrievedly. Lai Huer sighed in a very low voice, and stood up as well. He noticed that Yang Guang was not prepared to hold Pei Ju and others accountable for harming the country.
Responsibility, I feel unwilling to do so, but I can do nothing about it
This great country belongs to the Yang family, and the other party can destroy it at will. No matter how anxious others are, what can they do?
"Old General Zhang has gone. The top priority now is to send people to clean up the remnants of his command, and then send out capable warriors to avenge the old general!" Yang Guang also saw the disappointment in the eyes of Lai Hu'er and others, and sighed.
tone, said quietly
"Your Majesty, your Majesty!" Pei Yun, Feng Deyi and others all chanted with their hearts in their throats.
"Oh, forget it! Whether I am a sage or not will be judged by future generations!" Yang Guang let out a long sigh again, waved his hand, and stopped a group of scholars from continuing to flatter him. "Yu Qing, please draft a decree for me and confer the title of General Zhang."
For the opening ceremony of the three divisions, the Shangzhu Kingdom, the hussar general, the Duke of Qi, the third son of Yin, the former emperor's temple, and the title will be passed down for three generations!"
"I would like to express my gratitude to Your Majesty on behalf of General Zhang!" All the military generals headed by Yi Hu'er choked up their thanks. In order to express his apology, Yang Guang posthumously awarded Zhang Xutuo the highest positions among civil servants and military generals, and he deserved it.
The treatment he received from the Temple of the First Emperor was equivalent to elevating Zhang Xutuo to the status of the founding father of the country, and the generals couldn't help but feel grateful.
"General Zhang's eldest son should be named Yuan Bei, Chong Mu. Where is he now?" Yang Guang breathed for a moment and asked in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, General Zhang's wife died of illness last year, and Yuan Bei went to Licheng to attend the funeral but did not return, so he was able to survive this time!" Dugu Lin wiped his eyes and replied with a choked voice.
"Yu Qing, send a decree to make Zhang Yuanbei General Huaihua, attack the Duke of Qi to seize his love, and order him to return to Xingyang as soon as possible to command the county troops!" Yang Guang ordered without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, the Eastern Capital has made arrangements to gather the county soldiers!" Pei Ju, the Huangmen servant, warned Yu Shiji in a low voice before he could answer. He thought he was afraid of being guarded, so he carefully moved away from the generals.
The distance between them was played in a voice like a gnat: "When the news of the death of the old general was sent to the Eastern Capital, General Huben Pei Renji had been ordered to go to Xingyang to inspect the general defense duties, and the censor Xiao Huaijing was appointed to supervise the army to calculate the time.
, the two of them have arrived in Xingyang now!"
"It's your Pei family again!" Lai Huer glared at Pei Ju angrily and scolded him.
Pei Ju, the servant of Huangmen, quickly hid away again. When he saw that Lai Hu'er had no intention of attacking, he defended himself in a low voice: "The soldiers are fierce and the battle is dangerous. If General Zhang is brought in again, how can we feel at ease?"
?Besides, Pei Renji has also been a veteran general who has led troops for many years, and his strategies are no longer inferior to those of Yang Gongyichen!"
"I have never heard of such a Pei Huben!" Lai Hu'er sneered and shook his head.
"Okay, don't argue anymore!" Yang Guang patted the sick bed gently and ordered, "Inspecting the school is not a real job, so why argue about it? Let Major General Zhang first attend to the funeral of his father and pass on my will, and order Huben Lang to send Liu Changgong to the hospital."
, Guanglu Shaoqing Fang Er led his troops to fight against the thieves in the near future. If he misses the opportunity again, he will raise his head to see me and order General Wang Shichong of Guide to lead the Jianghuai troops to march north, and work together with Liu Changgong to fight against the thieves. Order the Ambassador of Hebei
Taichang Shaoqing Wei Ji, Henan Ambassador Hu Yalang sent Wang Bian and other commanders to Xingyang to besiege the Wagang Army!" In one breath, he picked up all the soldiers and horses he could think of near Wagang Mountain and threatened fiercely.
Cut off Li Mi's head with all the strength of the country
"Your Majesty, if this happens, I'm afraid Jiangzuo's troops will be empty!" After listening to Yang Guang's frantic deployment of troops and generals, Lai Hu'er didn't bother to accuse Pei Ju of manipulating power and harming the country, so he hurriedly reminded him.
Currently, the soldiers and horses near Jiangdu include the Royal Forest Army led by Dugu Lin, the Xiongwu Camp led by Yu Wenshi and the Jianghuai County soldiers commanded by Wang Shichong. The combat effectiveness of the three armies is Xiongwu Camp, but the other two forces join forces and can just contain Yuwen.
If Wang Shichong leads his troops northward, the power of the family will be broken. Once the Yuwen family plots evil, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Without Wang Shichong, I'm afraid Li Mi will take the opportunity to escape again!" Yang Guang hesitated for a moment, then understood that he came to protect the children out of kindness, and said tiredly
He needed to rebuild his prestige through a great victory. Pei Ju, Yu Shiji and others did make mistakes in reporting good news but not bad news, but Yang Guang knew that if he punished these civil servants for this, it would be equivalent to admitting to the world that the Sui Dynasty's politics had been corrupted.
It was getting out of hand. Moreover, he had personally given the order to Pei and Yu to "categorize the memorials and pick up the pleasant news and send it to the palace." The fault could not be placed on others, so he had to quickly punish Li Mi.
Pulling out the poisonous thorn will prove that his previous mistakes were not serious. Pulling out Li Mi will also frighten other rebels in the world...
"Your Majesty, I recommend a person who can replace Wang Shichong and the other generals to annihilate the Wagang bandits on his own!" Pei Ju's mind was rarely broad-minded, and he was willing to actively agree with Lai Huer's suggestion to retain power. He also didn't want the people near Jiangdu.
The balance of military power is broken and before the world changes hands, nothing is as important as his own safety!
"Pei Qing, please speak!" Yang Guang glanced at Pei Ju with a dull look and ordered listlessly.
"Your Majesty, why don't you send the champion general to the south? If he goes to Xingyang to command the troops of Qi County, no one will be dissatisfied with his bravery, and the Wagang bandits will be wiped out in a day!" Pei Ju stepped forward and said loudly
"I just thought about it, but the champion general is currently fighting fiercely with the bandits in Hejian! Besides, the six counties of Hebei have been initially decided. Once he leaves, there will probably be changes in the local area." Yang Guang's eyes brightened obviously, and then quickly dimmed.
It is indeed an ideal choice to transfer Li Xu to the south to suppress thieves, but Li Xu's power is already very great. If Xingyang and other places are handed over to him, his jurisdiction will span Henan and Hebei, and his power will be far away.
More than any other wealthy family, directly transferring Li Xu from the Comfort Ambassador of the Six Counties to the Tongshou of Xingyang is tantamount to reducing the power in his hands. If a person has just made new achievements but his power is reduced for no reason, I am afraid he will not do his best.
"Your Majesty can order General Li to quell the bandits in Hejian, and use the post of ambassador to comfort the six counties and the champion general to review the power of ambassador to fight against thieves in Henan Province!" Pei Ju quickly guessed Yang Guang's true thoughts and suggested in a low voice.
"It's Mr. Pei after all!" Feng Deyi and others who were worried about state affairs admired the word "inspection". It not only solved the official position arrangement for Li, but also dealt with the thoughts of the Holy Lord. Except for Pei Ju, no one else could think of it.
!
These two words are used wonderfully, what a wonderful thing!
