The battle at Gaobiling was the key to determining the entire battle. When Gao Ying's army of hundreds of thousands was defeated at Gaobiling, Gao Ying's defeat was already doomed.
Yang Su immediately ordered that the three armies march towards Taiyuan at the same time. In addition to the Youzhou army that continued to contain the Khitan Japanese company, a total of 200,000 troops approached Taiyuan City in an encirclement manner. At the same time, Gao Ying had another day.
After a long journey, he led the remaining 70,000 troops back to Taiyuan City.
Neither Yang Su nor Gao Ying knew that an unknown coup was taking place in Taiyuan City.
…
…
After Wang Junlin pretended to be Taiyuan City Lang Yu Chengjie and led people to kill Wang Xiong, the second master of the Wang family, Wang Long easily took over all the forces under Wang Xiong, including the Hundred Swords League and Taiyuan Gambling House, and reported to the general in charge of Taiyuan City.
Dong Qingyun wanted someone, but Yu Chengjie disappeared at this time.
Dong Qingyun knew that the Wang family could not offend easily, so he had to entertain Wang Long himself and explain to the latter. As a result, at the banquet, Dong Qingyun suddenly went crazy in full view of the public, and slashed at Wang Long with a knife, but was counterattacked by one of Wang Long's guards.
Killed with one knife.
At the same time, the Wang family in Taiyuan's military and official circles, as well as the civilian forces headed by the Hundred Swords League, began to attack at the same time. Gao Ying's forces were leaderless and were in the wrong. Under Wang's careful planning, they were caught off guard and suffered a huge blow.
Unfortunately, the news of the continuous retreat of the Bingzhou army was spread by the Wang family. Due to various factors, Gao Ying's people lost control of the city gate at the first opportunity. More than half of the army defected, shouting for death.
, the screams continued all night, and at dawn all Gao Ying's confidants in Taiyuan City died.
In this way, the Wang family took control of Taiyuan City. The process was unexpected, but the result was within expectation. Through this incident, Wang Junlin also saw the background and power of the seven sects and five surnames. No wonder the history
Yang Su's son Yang Xuangan easily gathered tens of thousands of troops to rebel.
The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole is behind. When the main force of the Bingzhou army led by Gao Ying was resisting the imperial army on the front line and was retreating steadily, even if he was killed, he would not have thought that Wang Junlin would sneak into Taiyuan, and tried his best to force the Wang family to quarrel with him directly.
Taking control of Taiyuan City, he cut off his retreat.
Not counting the hundreds of remnant soldiers hidden in the valley under Luo Yi, Wang Junlin and his party totaled only a dozen people. In a war between the imperial court and Bingzhou, they were like dead leaves falling into the pond.
There are no ripples. According to anyone's normal logical behavior, no one would take such a strange risk to control Taiyuan City. This kind of thing is unthinkable, but Wang Junlin did it.
And it was done successfully.
After the Wang family took control of Taiyuan City, Wang Long sent troops to break through the fragile gate of the Han Palace.
Today, there are not many imperial guards in the palace of the Han Dynasty. Since Yang Hao, the eldest son of Yang Liang, is just Gao Ying's puppet, the expenses of the palace have been reduced again and again. Gao Ying is not very concerned about the safety of the king's soldiers.
So it was easy to break through the palace gate.
What followed was ruthless killing. No matter the guards, chamberlains, maids, or troops broke into the palace, they killed everyone they saw. Finally, Captain He, who led the team, led the troops into Yang Hao's bedroom. At this time, Yang Hao already knew everyone.
Taiyuan City was under the control of the Wang family. He was so frightened that he hid under the desk in the corner of the palace and huddled up with his head in his hands. When Captain He took him out from under the desk, Yang Hao's crotch was wet and his legs were wet.
He had lost all the strength to stand and was limp and limp. Lieutenant He Du ordered two soldiers to hold him up, one on the left and one on the right, and ushered him out of the Han Palace.
When Yang Hao was "invited" into the Wang family's ancestral home, he seemed paralyzed and his face was frighteningly pale.
After being carried into the hall, Yang Hao first saw Wang Long sitting in the middle. Wang Long was tall, wearing a purple brocade robe, sitting majestically in front of the desk, squinting and reading a book.
Next to Wang Long sat a young man, dressed in white robes, with a face as sharp as a knife, quite handsome. He was leaning in front of the map on the table with a lazy look on his face, looking at something seriously.
In Taiyuan City, Yang Hao had naturally met Wang Long, the famous leader of the Wang clan. There was also this young man. Yang Hao had never seen him in person, but he had seen his portrait several times. Although he was still underage, he
Everyone who had seen it still remembered it, and immediately understood the identity of this young man. He was naturally a highly valued young minister of the Sui Emperor, the Duke of Qin'an County, and the notorious Wang Junlin.
After his father's death, although Yang Hao never left the gate of the Han Palace, Yang Hao was unwilling to be controlled by Gao Ying. Although he played the role of a good baby in front of Gao Ying, Yang Hao was still somewhat shrewd secretly and endured
Because of Yang Liang's legacy, there are still some people and forces loyal to him around him, so some things cannot be done, at least the news is not blocked.
After recognizing Wang Junlin, Yang Hao suddenly understood a lot of things. His face turned pale with fright, he immediately showed a look of panic, and he knelt on the ground with a plop.
"After rebelling against the king, Yang Hao paid homage to Duke Wang and the Duke of Qin'an County."
Wang Long and Wang Junlin raised their heads, glanced at him lightly, and then lowered their heads in unison, continuing to do their own business.
"Qin An Gong, please continue talking." Wang Long said calmly.
Wang Junlin said with a smile: "In my opinion, we need to seal the city gates on all sides, send out scouts to investigate the marching progress of Gao Ying's troops, and prevent the remnants of the Taiyuan City rebels from forming a group and counterattacking us, so
I think it would be best to send three thousand confidants and light cavalry into small groups to patrol the streets and alleys of Taiyuan City day and night. Anyone who finds more than ten people gathered will be killed directly without interrogation."
Having said this, Wang Junlin paused, glanced at Yang Hao below, and continued in a cold voice: "In addition, all those who are not conducive to us gathering the soldiers and civilians of Taiyuan City will be killed."
Wang Long nodded: "What Qin An Gong said is reasonable. Just so, we can take precautions before it happens, defend Taiyuan City for Your Majesty, and cut off Gao Ying's retreat."
Wang Long and Wang Junlin chatted for a long time, but Yang Hao kept kneeling and did not dare to raise his head. The two of them looked at him as if they had not seen him. Their indifferent attitude made Yang Hao feel more and more panicked, and finally his body involuntarily
He started shaking, full of worry and fear about his fate.
After chatting for about an hour about burning incense, Wang Long and Wang Junlin quietly looked at each other and felt that the heat was almost enough. Wang Long then raised his head, as if he had just seen Yang Hao, and said with a look of surprise and surprise: "Hey
?Isn’t this His Highness the King of Han? Ah! Your Highness is His Majesty’s nephew. How can you pay such a courtesy to Wang? If you tell me, wouldn’t it make the world laugh at me for messing up etiquette in the Sui Dynasty? Your Highness, please get up quickly.”
Yang Hao's body trembled suddenly, and his heart became more and more frightened.
