Yang Liang stopped and said to the man: "Go back and tell your general that I will send an army to meet him as soon as possible."
Yang Liang then ordered a chamberlain next to him: "Give him ten taels of gold and send him away!"
The messenger thanked him profusely and retreated. Yang Liang waited for him to go away, then he looked up to the sky and laughed, but then said with some regret: "I didn't expect, I didn't expect! Wang Junlin was seriously injured by Luo Yi.
It’s a pity that I couldn’t kill that thief Wang Junlin.”
"Your Highness, I think this matter may not be true." Gao Ying took the lead in saying.
Before Yang Liang could speak, someone snorted coldly: "Mr. Gao thinks this matter is false. Is there any basis or proof?"
The speaker was an old general with white beard and hair. This person was the famous Chen Dynasty general Xiao Mohe. He was already over seventy years old, but he was still as brave as he was in his prime. After the fall of the Chen Dynasty, he was captured by Sui Emperor Yang Jian.
He was granted the title of Kaifu Yitong Sansi and has been following Yang Liang. He is also one of the most active people who supported Yang Liang as emperor over the years. After Yang Liang arrived in the capital, including during the period of house arrest in the capital, Xiao Mo was
He firmly controlled Bingzhou for Yang Liang. Otherwise, even with Gao Ying's assistance, it would not have been possible to control Bingzhou so easily. And now that Yang Liang was about to raise his flag to rebel, Xiao Mohe was in high spirits and was the most active.
But since seeing Gao Ying return to Taiyuan with Yang Liang, Xiao Mohe and Gao Ying have not dealt with each other, and he wants to antagonize the latter whenever he has the chance.
Next to Xiao Mohe, sitting next to him is Yang Liang's first adviser Wang Kun. Wang Kun is the son of the powerful Wang Sengbian. He is about fifty years old, has a three-foot long beard, and has an elegant appearance. He and Xiao Mo
The relationship has always been close.
There are two other people who are also Yang Liang's confidants. One is Qiao Zhongkui, the governor of Lanzhou, and the other is Cao Pei Wen'an, the general manager of the palace. These four people are Yang Liang's four closest confidants, and they are also Yang Liang's support in addition to Gao Ying and his forces.
In addition, his close team is also the basis for him to dare to raise the flag to rebel.
Gao Ying glanced at Xiao Mohe contemptuously and said: "I think this matter is a bit suspicious, because I have fought with Wang Junlin several times, and Your Highness has also dealt with Wang Junlin. You should know that this man is extremely cunning and has great magical powers.
.Although Luo Yi is a rare fierce general in the world, and his martial arts skills are not inferior to that of Yang Guang's number one general Yuwen Chengdu, he is not yet capable of seriously injuring Wang Junlin."
Xiao Mohe, Wang Yan, Qiao Zhongkui, and Pei Wen'an looked at each other. Xiao Mohe frowned and said, "For Duke Gao to think so highly of Wang Junlin, I'm afraid he thinks highly of him!"
Wang Jun also stroked his long beard lightly and said: "I also think this matter is true. Although Wang Junlin must be extraordinary, otherwise he would not have such a great reputation and would not have done such famous things.
But as far as I know, Na Luo Yi is by no means an easy person. Not only is he highly skilled in martial arts and has few rivals in the world, but he is also extremely talented in commanding and training troops. From his status as General Ying Yanglang,
, this can be seen from the fact that his prestige in the army of Hedong County is higher than that of the prefect Lin Hongcai and the chief official Li Shiwu. Moreover, Luo Yi's letter also made it very clear that he seriously injured Wang Junlin in a single fight. Although Wang Junlin had a bad reputation,
Hehe, his poison skills are extremely terrifying, and I heard that he can also set fire, but as for martial arts, I think it is definitely not as good as Luo Yi. Therefore, being seriously injured by Luo Yi, but being able to survive, has lived up to his reputation as a poisonous general. From this,
Inferring, I think it is indeed true."
Yang Liang nodded. Wang Kun's words made sense. He had also heard of Luo Yi's bravery.
"How do you explain why Luo Yi wanted to assassinate Wang Junlin?" Gao Ying's expression remained unchanged, with a calm and calm look, as if what everyone here was going to say was what he expected.
Although Xiao Mohe was nearly seventy years old, his temper was still a bit irritable. Seeing Gao Ying's confident look, he felt disgusted. He snorted coldly and said, "Did Gao Gong fall asleep just now? The one sent by Luo Yi
The messenger has already explained that Luo Yi has reached a deal with Yang Su. After the deal is completed, Yang Su will guarantee that he will become the commander-in-chief of a state's march within three years. But this requires that the assassination of Wang Junlin is successful, but now he is only seriously injured, so Wang Junlin is Yang Guang again.
As an imperial envoy, besides escaping and being loyal to His Highness, does Luo Yi have any other way to survive?"
Gao Ying hesitated to speak, and finally did not say some secret things. He just shook his head and said nothing.
"Okay, in that case, Pei Wen'an, you personally lead an army of 10,000 to meet Luo Yi. The king is about to raise his flag, but he recruits strong generals like Luo Yi. This is actually a sign from God that this king is destined to conquer the world." Yang Liang glanced at him.
Gao Ying gave the decisive order.
"I obey your Highness's will." Pei Wen'an stood up, clasped his fists and ordered to leave. Pei Wen'an was born in the Pei clan of Wenxi County and was Pei Shiju's nephew. However, he was just a concubine. He was conceited and talented, but he was depressed in the family.
However, Pei Wen'an was highly appreciated by Yang Liang. He was responsible for the training and command of the army under Yang Liang's command, and was highly trusted by Yang Liang.
Gao Ying sighed, stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying: "Your Highness, I am not feeling well. Please leave first."
Yang Liang smiled and said: "You have worked hard on this journey, Duke Gao. The mansion in the south of the city was given to Duke Gao by me. In addition, I will also reward Duke Gao with fifty beautiful maids and five thousand taels of gold."
"Thank you, Your Highness." After Gao Ying finished speaking, he turned and left.
Yang Liang looked at Gao Ying's back, a sneer flashing in his eyes.
In the past, he had obeyed Gao Ying's words in Kyoto and on the road, but after returning to his own territory in Bingzhou, his attitude immediately changed.
Xiao Mohe saw what Yang Liang was thinking and said at the right time: "Your Highness, although Gao Ying had a great reputation in the early days of the Sui Dynasty and seemed to control some mysterious forces, he was a loser after all, and he was defeated again and again.
, the prestige is far less than before, and after all, he tried to protect the eldest prince before. It would be fine if the eldest prince died. Now everyone knows that the eldest prince is trapped in the capital pretending to be crazy. If he, Gao Ying, is loyal, he should save him.
The eldest prince is the right one, but he is loyal to His Highness. Of course His Highness is destined by fate. But from this incident, we can also see that Gao Ying's character is really shameless."
Wang Ying smiled and said: "Your Highness, I think what Mr. Xiao said is reasonable. And as far as I know, when Gao Ying was devoted to assisting the eldest prince in planning for the crown prince and the emperor's throne, he used the eldest prince as a puppet.
He has the final say in everything."
Compared to what Xiao Mohe said, Wang Kun's words were even more heart-wrenching. When Yang Liang heard this, his expression changed, but he didn't say anything. He nodded and said: "What the two adults said, this king
I have written it down. But after all, Duke Gao is kind to this king, and you two must not disrespect him."
Xiao Mohe and Wang Kui looked at each other and respectfully said yes.
