The next step was to further punish Gao Ying's remnants in the army. Many of these people also expressed their loyalty to Wang Long, but they still had to be eliminated. Wang Long showed his cold-blooded and ruthless side, and everyone who interacted with Gao Ying
All the lieutenant generals who were deeply in love and had close relationships were killed.
After issuing a series of orders for a long time, Wang Long breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his forehead tiredly.
Until this moment, Taiyuan City was firmly under control, and the more than 60,000 troops outside the city were basically in Wang's hands. Next, they were waiting for the arrival of the army led by Yang Su.
Under Wang Junlin's intentional actions, no one except Wang Long and Wang Junlin's side knew that Wang Junlin was behind this whole process.
…
…
Just after Wang Long burned Gao Ying to death and took control of more than 60,000 troops outside the city, an army rolled in from the east and south of Taiyuan City. Naturally, the one coming from the south was the main force of the 100,000 counter-rebellion army led by Yang Su, Yang Yicheng
The 50,000-strong army under his command is following Yang Su's secret order, looking for Wang Junlin everywhere, trying to kill Wang Junlin in the name of wiping out the remnants of the rebels. Therefore, the army coming from the east can only be the Youzhou army.
This time to suppress the rebellion and merge the state, Li Zixiong was appointed as the general manager of Youzhou, commanding the 80,000 troops of Youzhou to contain the Khitan Rilian Department. The chief historian was Yu Wenhuaji. Because of Yu Wenhuaji's background, although Li Zixiong was a senior official, he had no influence on Yu Wenji.
Wen Wenji did not have much restraint, and he knew that the dispute between Yu Wenshu and Yang Su in the court had begun, and that he, Li Zixiong, had already been marked by Yang Su, which led to an irreconcilable conflict between him and Yu Wen Ji, and Yu Wen Ji
He was also known to be ruthless and difficult to deal with, so in order to prevent the feud between the main and deputy generals from affecting the war situation, Li Zixiong simply sent Yu Wenhua and his 20,000 troops to form an army on his own.
…
…
More than thirty miles east of Taiyuan City, Yu Wenhuaji rode a tall horse, looked at the outline of Taiyuan City in the distance, and said: "Shen Guang, if your master fails to control Taiyuan City as agreed, what will your master say in the letter?"
The property mentioned in the Qilian Mountains of the Western Region belongs to my Yuwen family. I hope your master will not regret it when the time comes, otherwise you will definitely die. I will not let your master go. After all, I rule without permission.
The army left Youzhou and came to Taiyuan City, which is already a violation of the military order of the old man Li Zixiong. If the old man files a complaint against me, I won't be afraid, but it will be very troublesome."
Yes, the army coming from the east right now is the 20,000-strong army led by Yu Wenhuaji. Yu Wenhuaji appeared near Taiyuan City at this time and rushed towards Taiyuan City. It was the one who had disappeared these days.
Credit goes to Shen Guang.
Shen Guang actually brought a handwritten letter and a few words from Wang Junlin to convince Yu Wenhuaji.
At this time, Shen Guang was half a step behind Yu Wenhua on horseback, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Don't worry, Mr. Chang Shi, my father-in-law has never failed in such a big event since his debut. We are not far from Taiyuan City now, and we will know soon.
The result..."
Before he finished speaking, a group of knights came from the direction of Taiyuan City and galloped towards them. The leader was none other than Shan Xiongxin. Shen Guang quickly said to Yu Wenhuaji: "Lord Chang Shi, maybe we have it now."
As a result, this team of knights was sent by my father-in-law."
When Yu Wenhuaji heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He wanted to make great achievements in countering the rebellion this time, but the barbarians from the Khitan Japanese Company never dared to act rashly. As a result, he had not made any achievements until now, and watched Yang Su successively make great achievements in Bingzhou.
The victory made him jealous to death. It was in this state of mind that he was moved by Wang Junlin's deal, risked disobeying the orders of his superior Li Zixiong, led the army from Youzhou into Bingzhou, and went straight to Taiyuan City
.If Wang Junlin succeeds, he will easily obtain military merit that is no worse than Yang Su.
"Let them come over." Yu Wenhuaji urgently ordered the soldiers in front of him, and the soldiers blocking Shan Xiongxin and his party immediately moved out of the way.
Shan Xiong urged his horse forward alone, glanced at Shen Guang, and then said to Yu Wenhua and cupping his fists on the horse: "I am a close confidant of Duke An of Qin, and I was ordered to deliver a secret letter from my father-in-law to General Yuwen."
Yu Wenhuaji was unhappy when he saw that Shan Xiongxin did not dismount his horse and kneel down, but he was anxious to know the situation in Taiyuan City, so he did not care. Instead, he said in a hurry: "Hurry up and submit the letter from Duke An of Qin."
Yu Wenhuaji's bodyguard had already stepped forward to take the secret letter from Shan Xiongxin. When Yu Wenhuaji opened it and read the contents of the letter, he was immediately ecstatic, laughed, and said: "Qin An is really good at it. Go back and tell Qin An." Sir, as long as he doesn't break his promise, I will definitely help him get rid of that old thief."
Shan Xiongxin clasped his fists and said, "As a humble official, I must pass down General Yuwen's words to my father-in-law verbatim."
After saying that, he nodded to Shen Guang, turned his horse's head, and led the other five swordsmen back to Taiyuan City to recover.
"Report! General, Yang Su's army is less than fifty miles away from Taiyuan City." A close spy came on horseback, knelt down on one knee in front of Yu Wenhua and reported loudly.
Yu Wenhuaji looked solemn and solemnly said to a general on his left: "General Dou, you lead the infantry to go behind, and I will lead the eight thousand cavalry to go first."
The general surnamed Dou was a Yingyanglang general and a general in Yuwenshu's army. He was regarded as a close confidant of Shangyu Wenhuaji. He was also very aware of the transaction between Yuwen Wenji and Wang Junlin and immediately greeted him respectfully.
Yu Wenhuaji did not dare to waste time and immediately led eight thousand cavalry to gallop towards Taiyuan City.

Fifteen-year-old Yang Hao experienced the tragic death of his father and was made a puppet by Gao Ying. He has grown up a lot in the past few months, and he has become quite mature at such a young age. He knew very well that Wang Junlin and Gao Ying wanted to use him. He had to do something, but he couldn't resist or refuse in any way, otherwise either Wang Junlin or Wang Long could kill him easily.
Today, he still lives in the Hanwang Mansion, but he locks himself in his room and sees no one all day and night. His heart is full of fear, because he knows that his value is almost gone, and the best ending waiting for him is to be killed. He was sent to the capital, and his second uncle, the emperor, spared his life and placed him under house arrest until he died of old age.
In the room, Yang Hao was drinking glass after glass of wine and was very drunk. Next to him sat a stunning young girl of similar age to him. She was the wife Lu who married Yang Liang when he was still alive. .
The little wife acted very gentle and virtuous, and was persuading Yang Hao softly: "Husband, don't worry too much. Whether it was the father-in-law or Gao Ying's rebellion, my husband was not involved. Your Majesty is wise and will definitely not kill my husband. Maybe Your Majesty, in order to show off to the world, my husband can still maintain wealth and honor, so please don’t worry, husband."
