Zhu Changxiao's version of the Sui Dynasty

Yan Xun took advantage of the opportunity of escorting grain and grass to go to Xingtai Mansion to assassinate him. As soon as he opened the door and entered the house, he heard two voices asking"Who?"

This sound made Yan Xun stunned for a moment, because he asked questions from inside and outside the house at the same time. Asking"who" twice meant that not only Xiao Jun was aware, but someone outside the house also saw Yan Xun.

Yan Xun had already stepped into the threshold. When he turned around, before he could see clearly who was outside, a stone flew towards him.

"Whoosh!"With a sound, he hit Yan Xun on the head. The person who threw stones outside the courtyard was none other than King Jin's servant Zhao Cai. Zhao Cai was on duty tonight. Zhao Cai originally planned to go around the backyard and go back to sleep. Unexpectedly, it was just the right time. Seeing Yan Xun push the door open.

Zhao Cai usually doesn't wear a sword, so he picked up a stone and threw it at Yan Xun. Zhao Cai was usually in charge of King Jin's carriage and horses, and his arm strength was amazing, so he hit Yan Xun on the head with a stone.

Yan Xun Feeling panicked, he hurriedly retreated and ran towards the darkness."There are assassins, there are assassins!"Zhao Cai shouted in victory, and many guards rushed into the backyard with swords.

Yan Xunyue jumped on the rockery and was about to escape. A light guard also jumped onto the rockery. The two fought for several rounds, but Yan Xun kicked him off the rockery. Yan Xun fled over the wall.

In terms of lightness, many of the guards who guarded King Jin were not as good as Yan Xun. Moreover, they carried swords and armor. Not long after they were chased, Yan Xun disappeared and fled into the night.

The assassin escaped, There was chaos in the Xingtai Mansion. Zhuge Ying, Zhang Heng, Xiao Yu, Zhao Cai and others came to the backyard room one after another. Xiao Jun's face was solemn and earthy, and he asked:"Did the assassin catch it?""

Zhang Heng said:"I have already ordered you to go down, and the whole city is under martial law."

"Who do you think did it? Zhuge Ying said:"

The King of Jin has never had any offense with the local powerful Qiu, and he will not have such grudges." The lower official thought that Yan Xun must have sent someone to assassinate him. Zhang

Heng nodded after hearing this and said to Xiao Jun:"Mr. Zhuge is right, Weizhou is the hinterland and there can be no Northern Qi or Turkic assassins." Being able to plot an assassination with such accuracy must have been done by one of our own people."

After listening to everyone's inferences, Xiao Jun secretly speculated in his heart, and also expected that Yan Xun, sooner or later, the Yan family's father and son would be a serious concern of the court. When he was thinking about it, Xiao Jun said:"If it is really the Yan family's father and son, the enemy is now at hand, everything will be destroyed. Don't scare the snake away"

"obey."

At dawn the next day, all the grain and grass shipped from Qingzhou were handed over to the soldiers of Weizhou. Yan Xun and his soldiers were preparing to return to Qingzhou. Zhuge Ying and others went to see them off. When leaving, Zhuge

Ying said to Zhao Cai:"You last night Where did that stone hit the assassin?"

"It must have been hit on the head"

"Later, you can take a closer look to see if there are any bruises on Yan Xun’s head."

"Sir, it must have been done by Yan Xun?"

"Nine times out of ten, it must be Yan Xun. The King of Jin said that Su and Yan Rong were at odds with each other. They assassinated him last night and defeated the palace guards. I think the assassin must be Yan Xun."

The two were talking, and Yan Xun was seen wearing his helmet and armor and wearing a cloak. He came closer and bowed and said,"The general has counted the food and grass and delivered them truthfully. He is about to leave."

Zhuge Ying and others returned the courtesy and smiled slightly. Zhao Cai, who was standing aside, took a closer look. Sure enough, Yan Xun had a bruise on the end of his right eyebrow, as if he had been injured recently. Yan

Xun led the men and horses away, Zhuge Ying, Zhao Cai returned to his house. When everyone saw Xiao Jun, Zhao Cai said:"When we were leaving just now, there was indeed a bruise on Yan Xun's eyebrow. The assassin must be Yan Xun.""

"Then why assassinate the princess? Zhang Heng asked.

Zhuge Ying stroked his beard and said,"Yan Xun is not trying to assassinate the princess, but he wants to assassinate the king of Jin.""

"This matter must be reported to King Jin early."Xiao Jundao

"The princess was relieved, and the official set off immediately to escort the grain to Youzhou."Zhuge Ying said

"Thank you, Lord Zhuge."

Zhuge Ying left his house and ordered a thousand soldiers from Weizhou Prefecture. After noon, he escorted the grain and grass and returned to Youzhou. This is how it is: Since ancient times, there have been many panics in internal strife, and false alarms have been used to collect military grains all night.

With whips raised, the north commander drove in, looking back to the Central Plains. Jiu Wangxiang.

Zhuge Ying escorted the army rations all the way north to the Lulong Camp. Jin Wang Yang Guang, general manager Yin Shou, Qu Tu Tong, Qu Tu Gai, Yin Shishi and other generals came out of the camp to greet the army.

Zhuge Ying turned over and dismounted, bowed and saluted:"To inform the King of Jin, 700 carts of military rations have arrived. Yang

Guang took Zhuge Ying's hand and said,"The grain and grass have arrived. It's like a long drought and sweet rain. Let's talk quickly in the tent.""

Everyone came to the Chinese army's tent together and sat around. Zhuge Ying said:"When we go to Qingzhou, Yan Rong has evil intentions and forcibly confiscates the people's food and ruins the reputation of the king of Jin."

"snort! Yang Guang stood on his head with his eyebrows raised in anger:"I know that Yan Rong has bad intentions.""

"Your Highness, Yan Xun, the son of Yan Rong, also assassinated the princess."

"What?"

Everyone was shocked and looked at Yang Guang in astonishment. Yin Shou asked:"What's the problem between Your Highness and Yan Rong? As a result, the enemy is facing us and we are harming each other."

"Alas, it’s hard to put it into words."

Looking at Yang Guang's childish face, he knew that Yang Guang was holding back his anger, so he didn't hesitate to ask more questions. Yang Guang remembered that Yan Rong wanted to molest Xiao Jun in Bingzhou Mansion, and Yang Guang was so angry that he couldn't express it in words.

But now that he is in the army, Yang Guang still suppresses his anger slightly,"In the face of a powerful enemy, I, the king, should put aside the past grudges."

Yang Guang waved his hand, signaling for everyone to leave, and returned to the sleeping tent alone.

Seeing nightfall, King Jin's sleeping tent was still brightly lit. Zhuge Ying, who was patrolling the camp, went to the sleeping tent and gently opened the door.

"Mr. Zhuge?"

"Your Highness, why haven't you rested at this late hour? Yang

Guang's eyes were dull and he suppressed his emotions and remained silent. Zhuge Ying asked,"Is it possible that His Highness still hates Yan Rong in his heart?"?"

"Yan Rong has bullied this young king several times. How can I not avenge this hatred?

Zhuge Ying bowed and said:"Your Highness, please calm down. The attack on Huanglong Mansion is imminent now. I hope Your Highness will not worry about personal grudges and delay the war.""

"Um. Yang Guang nodded, moved his hand, and unfolded the map on the desk,"When Sir, I have discussed with the generals that the army will go straight to Huanglong Mansion."

Zhuge Ying smiled:"Now there is enough food and grass, and His Highness's fighter plane has arrived.""

Yang Guang passed down the general's order overnight. At dawn the next day, he ordered the whole army to move forward. Yang Guang and Yin Shou led the army to approach Huanglong Mansion.

Huanglong Mansion's detective horses galloped back to the city. Gao Baoning got the news. He was impatient and told all the generals. Discuss countermeasures.

General Zhao Shuluo thought to himself that he was captured in the previous game and felt useless. He just took this opportunity to avenge his previous humiliation. Zhao Shuluo took the initiative to ask for a fight and said:"Shuluo was originally a vanguard to fight against the Sui army. To avenge his previous defeat, he The humiliation of being captured."

Gao Baoning and military advisor Lu Changqi exchanged glances. Gao Baoning said:"The morale of the Sui army is strong. General Shura had better avoid its sharp edges to avoid repeating the same mistakes."

"this……"Zhao Shuluo was speechless for a moment.

Gao Baoning said:"I ordered Uncle Zu Ying to be the vanguard and mobilize 3,000 troops to fight; I ordered Zhao Shimo to be the rear team and lead 3,000 troops to respond."

The second general received the military order and withdrew his troops. Only Zhao Shuluo felt aggrieved. Holding back his big mouth and lowering his head in silence, Gao Baoning pretended to caress Zhao Xiuluo's shoulder and said:"General Shura, why should you care? It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, but acting on impulse is unstable." Zhao Xiuluo could only hold back his anger and found it difficult to speak.

Pioneer Zu Yingbo led an infantry of 3,000 horses, left Huanglong Mansion and headed southwest. Not far away, the Sui army was approaching from a distance.

The vanguard of the Sui army was named Xue Yao. He was one of Yin Shou's favorite generals. Under his hip was a Zhaoye lion horse. He was dressed in willow leaf armor and a black gold lion helmet. He was holding a gold-backed sword with fish scales. He also led three thousand men and horses to face them. Come.

The two armies met on a narrow road. When Uncle Zu Ying saw the Sui army, he refused to argue. He brandished his golden double phoenix sword and attacked Xue Yao. Xue Yao was unable to dodge and was killed by his horse. When the Sui army saw it, they became frightened and retreated in a hurry.

Xue Yao and Zu Yingbo fought for more than twenty rounds, but it was delayed for a while. The Sui army's rear troops had stopped and waited. Suddenly, the defeated troops in front withdrew one after another. Yin Shou knew something was wrong at a glance, and said to Yang Guang:"The vanguard must be killed." Sure enough, a school captain ran up to him and reported:"To the King of Jin Qiansui and the General Manager, the vanguard officer Xue Yao died in the battle."." Yang Guang glanced around and asked:"Who can fight?"

Qu Tugai said:"At the end of the day, we will go to fight."

Qu Tugai urged the five-flower chasing wind horse and waved the Hengshui River. Come straight at me. At this time, Uncle Zu Ying immediately rode in front of the formation and was feeling very proud. When he saw Qu Tu Gai riding his horse, Uncle Zu Ying said:"The vanguard is dead, why don't you surrender quickly?"

"snort! Qu Tugai said:"What kind of bird are you? How dare you bark here?" Uncle

Zu Ying heard this and was furious. He waved his sword and urged his horse to kill him. Qu Tugai was not afraid and rode his horse to fight. The two of them fought in a cross-circle, but within ten rounds, Qu Tugai killed Uncle Zu Ying with a spear. This is it:

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, armies and horses were overwhelming. Who wouldn’t know Qu Tu Gai?

He went straight to the Yellow Dragon to cut down the bamboo and quinoa, and his iron hooves swung to sweep away the dust.

The Sui army’s flag was victorious, and people were shocked. Qu Tu Gai waved his big spear and shouted loudly:"The remnants of the Northern Qi Dynasty are nothing to worry about. Kill them!"Qu Tugai rode his horse forward, and all the soldiers followed him. They rushed the Northern Qi soldiers into pieces and dispersed in a rush.

This time the Northern Qi soldiers were defeated and fled. Zhao Shimo, who was in the rear to support him, had just arrived. When he arrived, he saw the defeated troops retreating and asked,"Why are you so alarmed?"

A soldier replied:"The pioneer Zu Yingbo was killed."

"ah!"Zhao Shimo thought to himself, Uncle Zu Ying is Gao Baoning's confidant general. If he is defeated, it will be a disaster. Even if I fight hard, I will die. Besides, Zhao Xiuluo was captured and not harmed before. They are all from the Central Plains. Why bother? Following Gao Baoning, he worked for the Turks all day long.

Zhao Shimo was timid by nature. After thinking about it, he said to his opponent:"The Sui army must have generals coming, and Uncle Zu Ying can't stop it. If Huanglong Mansion is lost, how can he follow the Turks?" Nomadic?"

Upon hearing this, most of the soldiers in Huanglong Mansion were Han people. They had been farming for generations. How could any of them be willing to follow the nomadic Turks? They all said,"I am willing to follow the general."

"I want to surrender to the Sui lord and return to the mainland. Those who are willing to follow will surrender together. Those who are unwilling to follow will return to Huanglong Mansion and wait for the decisive battle with the Sui army."

All the soldiers asked to defect and submit to the Sui Dynasty. Zhao Shimo was overjoyed and led his soldiers to the front of the Sui army's formation to defect and surrender. Yang Guang and Yin Shou heard that the Northern Qi general Zhao Shimo had led his troops to submit and greeted them personally.

They saw Zhao Shimo holding a helmet in his arms, He knelt down on one knee and said:"The power of the Lord Sui has made the soldiers of the three armies look in fear. Now I am willing to put down the war and surrender with all my heart. Yang

Guang got off his horse, helped Zhao Shimo up, and said to everyone:"Brothers, there is no need to put down your weapons. Huanglong Mansion is still in the hands of Gao Baoning. I am willing to work with you to attack Huanglong and drive away the barbarians.""The surrendered soldiers cheered, turned their swords and guns, and marched to Huanglong Mansion in Yingzhou. Uncle Zu Ying was executed, and Zhao Shimo defected halfway. The news reached Huanglong Mansion, which made Gao Baoning furious and incomprehensible. Zhao Shuluo looked anxiously on the side and stepped forward to speak. He said:"My lord, don't be impatient, the general is willing to lead the troops to fight."

Gao Baoning's heart trembled, thinking about what to do if Zhao Shuluo also switched sides. Military advisor Lu Changqi said from the side:"It's easy for the Sui army to attack the city, but running thousands of miles is not their strong point. It's better to abandon Huanglong Mansion. And went to Khitan. Gao

Baoning let out a long sigh and said,"I originally wanted to return to the Central Plains and restore the Qi Kingdom, but I never thought that today, even Huanglong Mansion would not be able to be saved. Instead, I would go far away and join a foreign race." Zhao

Shuluo said:"There are still more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and they can hold on for several days. Once they leave Huanglong Mansion, they may never return!""

Military advisor Lu Changqi wanted to defect to the Khitan, so he warned:"General Shura was captured the previous time, and the Sui army refused to harm him. Even if he was captured again, he would still be safe. But my lord is different. Once captured, he will die without a burial place."

This sentence made Gao Baoning take a breath and thought to himself that what Lu Changqi said made sense. He and Zhao Shuluo were in different situations, so he sent an order to everyone to pack up their belongings, take their families, and flee to Khitan together. This led to:

Abandoning home and ruining the country, I wandered into desolation. After three journeys, I was depressed and missed my hometown in Han Dynasty. The locust trees were green in the gentle breeze of Eastern Xia, and the roads in northern Xinjiang were filled with snow and flying awns.

It was hard to follow the cold soil, cattle and goat cheese, but I was willing to return to my hometown for the fragrance of rice. The mutiny and border crossing eventually led to chaos, and people's hearts naturally It has the effect of promoting return of frost.
