Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The sun is like a fire, and cicadas are chirping enthusiastically on the trees.  Sweat soaked her back, Yang Xiu stood under the tree with her bare chest and back, sipping the cold well water she had just fetched, like a peasant, without the dignity of an emperor at all.  Damn the emperor's majesty, Yang Xiu drank a bellyful of cold well water, and finally felt refreshed for a moment.  He had never thought that there were such hot places and such hot seasons in the world.  He has basically been staying in Shuzhong for many years. Although the place in Shuzhong is a bit remote, it is never so hot in summer, only cool and comfortable.  What's more, even in those hot days, his palace always has a lot of ice cubes, and his Shu palace is luxurious enough, with lotus ponds, rockeries, gardens, waterside pavilions, and he also has a building where you can spray water on the roof in summer.  In the water side summer palace, on hot summer days, a bamboo pipe is connected to the roof to spray cold well water, and then there is a gauze hanging under the eaves, and the water flows down through the gauze.  There are many big trees planted around the hall, and there are many windmills under the trees. The windmills blow the wind onto the through-threaded gauze, and suddenly bursts of cool wind blow into the hall, making people feel like they are in a secluded place.  In the cool valley.  But now under Nanyang City, there is no palace and no ice.  I asked craftsmen to make several windmills, but the wind that blew out was all hot.  Changsun Kong stood on one side, lowering his head and saying nothing. His throat seemed to be on fire, but he did not dare to ask for a bowl of well water.  Yang Xiu looked at him with disgust. He had already known him before he married Changsun.  At that time, they used to play together. His father was the prime minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty at that time, and Changsun Gong's father, Changsun Lan, was a descendant of the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty.  Stand on Yang Jian's side.  At that time, the two families had a close relationship, and their children also interacted with each other and played together.  Yang Xiu and Changsun Kong played very well.  Later, the Yang family won the imperial power of the Yuwen clan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and eldest son Lan participated in the execution of the Yuwen clan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.  As a result, he gained the emperor's trust, and soon he specially betrothed Changsun Lan's daughter to King Yang Xiu of Yue. From then on, the relationship between Yang Xiu and Changsun's family took a further step.  After he became the emperor, the Changsun family was even more favored. The entire Changsun family was granted the title of eight princes, county princes, son-in-law, and more than 500 people who were awarded honors and official titles. This favor was more than  At the beginning of the founding of the Sui Dynasty, the three clans of Li Mu, Yu Yi, and Wei Xiaokuan were more favored.  "Report from the front, Changsun Kuan has been annihilated at Luyang Pass?" "Yes. Your Majesty. Yuan Heng secretly surrendered to the puppet government, switched sides in front of the formation, and attacked my brother from front to back with the rebels, resulting in the annihilation of the entire army." "  Really?" Yang Xiu turned to Sun Hong, the Duke of Xue, "I said that Chang Sun Kuan would be the commander-in-chief, and Chang Sun Kuan would be responsible for supervising Yuan Heng, right?" "Yes, Your Majesty."  Sun Hong, the head of the family, replied.  He is the eldest son of Changsun Lan.  The eldest brother of Queen Changsun, succeeded his father as Duke Xue.  He has five brothers and sisters, three younger brothers and one younger sister. The younger sister was originally the Princess of Shu.  Now that he is a queen, he has inherited his father's title of Duke Xue, and his three younger brothers have also been granted the title of Duke.  Changsun Kuan was his second younger brother and was granted the title of Duke of Guo.  He had just been killed at Luyang Pass.  "Deng Guogong, do you still remember?" "Your Majesty asked Yuan Heng, the Minister of War, to lead the troops to attack Luyang Pass. He made Guan Guogong the deputy commander and asked him to supervise Yuan Heng. We all heard it." Sun Cao, the fourth eldest son of the eldest son family, Deng Guogong  He lowered his head and replied.  Sun Gong, the Duke of Lu, opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, it was Yuan Heng who failed and betrayed Your Majesty. Duke Guan has already served the country with all his loyalty." "Loyalty to the death in battle? I don't need this kind of loyalty. That would be a loss of troops and harming the country. Fifty thousand  None of the soldiers and horses came back, and they were all abandoned to Yang Lin. And is that called loyalty? Almost all the 50,000 soldiers and horses surrendered to Yang Lin. If Changsun Kuan hadn't died in an accident, I guess Changsun Kuan would have surrendered.  Go to court. I have repeatedly told Changsun Kuan that his duty during this trip is to supervise Yuan Heng and that he is my supervisor. But as for him, almost all of the 50,000 troops have defected to the puppet government, but he still doesn¡¯t know anything.  "If you can't even remember your own duties, who can you blame if you die in battle?" His anger made the three uncles of the Changsun family flinch, "It is true that Changsun Kuan failed to fulfill his duties, but he did serve His Majesty."  Yuan Heng and others surrendered, and Changsun Kuan never wavered in his support for His Majesty. " "To be loyal? To be loyal is to send all my 50,000 troops into the enemy's hands, and then to die is to be called loyal."  The eldest grandson brothers were speechless, and they were very hurt by the emperor's words.  "Your Majesty, our eldest grandson family's loyalty to Your Majesty will never waver." "Loyalty is not something you say with your mouth, and what I want is not useless loyalty. When I needed to capture Luyang Pass, you made tens of thousands of troops surrender instead.  I need to take Nanyang City, but you have been attacking for so long, and there is nothing you can do against the 4,000 defenders with a hundred thousand troops." Chang Sun Hong seized this sentence and said, "Your Majesty, I thought the weather was hot now.  , is extremely unsuitable for attacking the city, and now that 100,000 reinforcements have arrived in Luoyang, we have lost another 50,000 soldiers.??.  I think it is better for us to retreat to Wuguan for the time being and wait for the weather to cool down before sending out troops to fight. At that time, we can unite the troops of the Turks, Tuyuhun, Tubo, and Goguryeo tribes to come out of the pass together.  " " Withdraw troops?  Yang Xiu sneered, "Retreat. If we retreat at this time, how much morale do you think our troops still have? Maybe as soon as I announce my retreat, some people will rebel and rebel."  " "But now Yang Lin is coming too fast and with great momentum, and we can't take Nanyang City. When Yang Lin's army arrives, we will be in an extremely disadvantageous situation.  " Changsun Hong advised. "Then you take Nanyang City for me immediately. You have an army of 100,000 people and 100,000 civilians and craftsmen. Why can't you even take Nanyang City, which is guarded by only 4,000 people?  Is Nanyang City some kind of great city in the world?  Or should we say that the guard in Nanyang City is a famous general in the world?  "Yang Xiu glared at Changsun Hong. Although Nanyang City is also very tall, it is by no means as big as Chang'an, Luoyang, Xiangyang, Jingzhou and other big cities. The guard of Nanyang City is just Guo Yan's son, a young boy. If it were Guo Yan, he wouldn't be the same.  It made him so angry. A unknown boy led three thousand guest troops to guard Nanyang City. Why couldn't a hundred thousand troops be attacked? Even if they were filled with men, they would have already taken over.  Changsun Hong's eyes were as wide as a bull's eye, "Your Majesty, my God, although Guo Zhen is unknown, he does have some ability as Guo Yan."  Although there were only 4,000 soldiers in the city, Guo Zhen recruited all the young men in the city, and even the women came to the city to assist in the defense, so they could not be treated as just 4,000 soldiers.  In particular, these rebels knew that Yang Lin was coming with his army, so they were extremely tenacious.  What I am most worried about is that even if we take Nanyang City, Nanyang City cannot be defended. When Yang Lin's troops arrive and Guo Yan of Xiangyang goes north again, we will be trapped in Nanyang.  Nanyang City is like a cage. What we have to do now is not to smash open the cage and lock ourselves in, but to leave immediately.  " "I vow not to retreat until Nanyang is captured.  " "Your Majesty, think twice.  After returning to Guanzhong, we still have Guanlong, Shuhan, and Hexi. If we defend carefully, we will definitely be able to separate one side.  Then rest and recuperate, recharge your batteries, wait for ten years, and then leave the pass, without having a chance to seize the world.  Thinking back to the beginning, Yuwentai not only occupied a corner of Guanzhong, but Guanzhong was even more destroyed at that time, with only 30,000 soldiers. However, Gao Huan occupied the land of Guandong, which was vast, the people were rich and the army was strong. But in the end, the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasty several times  In the battle, Gao Huan failed to defeat Yu Wentai in one fell swoop.  In the end, the Yuwen family established the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Gao family established the Northern Qi Dynasty. After decades of confrontation, the Northern Zhou Dynasty finally destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty. The three kingdoms were the weakest at the beginning, but later became the strongest in the world.  Your Majesty, we are much stronger now than when Yu Wentai first entered Guanzhong. We have Shu, Bahan, and Longyou and Hexi. We must endure for the time being, hide our capabilities and bide our time, and it will not be too late to make a comeback in the future.  " Yang Xiu listened to Chang Sun Hong's persuasion and was not moved at all. " He is not stupid. Chang Sun Hong's words can only be heard superficially. Maybe he can talk to his officials and soldiers to boost everyone's morale.  . But Yang Xiu himself knew very well that the current situation was completely different from when Yuwentai and Gao Huan were fighting each other. The Northern Wei Dynasty had just gone through six years.  A series of major rebellions such as the Zhen Uprising, Hebei Uprising, Shandong Uprising, and Guanlong Uprising had already caused chaos in the world. Although Gao Huan controlled the Guandong area, it was still very unstable internally. Although Yuwentai only had three people in Guanzhong at the beginning.  Thousands of soldiers, but all the generals under his command were from the Wuchuan Group. They all worked together and persevered, and this was how the Guanzhong region was stabilized. Only then did Yu Wen succeed the Zhou Dynasty and counterattack the Northern Qi Dynasty.  Is it the same? No matter how he promoted it, his reputation as a regicide and usurper of the throne was still lingering. Even in order to consolidate his control over Guanzhong, he had to deprive almost all the wealthy officials of Guanzhong of their official positions and kick them out.  These people are a hidden danger and may break out at any time. In addition, although Yang Lin supervises the regent in the name of the prince, he was the grandson of the late emperor, and Yang Yong was the first.  The crown prince canonized by the emperor, so now Yang Yong of the Luoyang court has succeeded, and Yang Lin is the prince of the supervising country. It can be said that he has occupied the name of orthodoxy. In addition, Yang Lin is very good at using methods, which has made the entire Guandong region and even the Jiangnan region now.  After surrendering to the Luoyang court, Yang Lin had strong troops and horses, which solved the hidden danger of the Turks in the north. He also got a large number of Turkic cavalry to help him. At this time, he fought hard with Yang Lin for Jingxiang. If he won, he would be able to defend the Shuhan area. That would be possible.  There is a possibility of a long-term confrontation between the separatist forces. If this time the troops are sent to fight for Jingxiang, then Bashu Hanzhong will not be able to hold it at all. When the time comes, Yang Xiu will never retreat. He would rather be in Nanyang.  Even if you fight to the death with Yang Lin, you will never retreat into the Guanzhong. You will be surrounded by enemies, betrayed by your relatives, and die miserably. "Don't say anything. If you think you can't do it, just get out of the way. I will personally command the siege.".  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
