Chang Yuchun noticed Yang Zaixing's angry gaze and said calmly: "This thief's target is Your Majesty. The first goal of us is to protect His Majesty's safety. Now is not the time to show off your personal bravery!"
Even if he ignored Yang Zaixing, he glanced at Wu Yunzhao, who had fallen to the ground, and asked: "Wu Yunzhao, surrender or not?"
Wu Yunzhao was seriously injured, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth from time to time. Knowing that he had no chance, he smiled miserably, "I, Wu Yunzhao, am a man of indomitable spirit. Once I make a move, it will be hard to follow. I will never surrender to the Sui Dynasty until I surrender!" After saying that, he forced his upper and lower teeth hard and bit his tongue to commit suicide on the spot.
"Ding dong, Wu Yunzhao's suicide has been detected. The host will be rewarded with 10 soul points. The current total number of soul points has increased to 97."
"drive!"
After confirming that Wu Yunzhao was dead, Yang Gao put down the drumstick in his hand, got on his horse, rode forward, took a few glances at Wu Yunzhao's body, and said lightly: "This Wu Yunzhao can be considered a man, let's bury him generously!"
Chang Yuchun cupped his hands and said, "I obey the order!"
Yang Gao turned to look at Yang Zaixing again. Although he knew Yang Zaixing's identity, he still pretended to be at a loss, "Who are you? Are you so skilled in martial arts?"
Yang Zaixing hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, this little man Yang Zaixing is the grandson of King Cai Jing, and now he serves as a bodyguard by your Majesty's side."
Yang Gao smiled slightly and said: "It turns out that Aiqing is still my cousin. It's such a pity to only be a bodyguard with such martial arts skills! Yang Zaixing, come forward and accept the title!"
Yang Zaixing immediately took a big step forward and said energetically: "Wei Chen is here!"
Yang Gao cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "Yang Zaixing, you are highly skilled in martial arts, and you have made a contribution to rescue today. I will make you General Zhige, command the six guards, and protect my safety!"
"I thank you, Your Majesty!"

Chang'an, Li Yuan's imperial study.
Prince Li Jiancheng hurriedly entered the room, bowed to Li Yuan and said: "My son, I see my father. I wish my father long life and eternal peace."
"Your Majesty, wake up!"
Li Yuan nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, you should already know about Lord Pei, right?"
Li Jiancheng was stunned for a moment, but he still raised his hands and said, "Father, Mr. Pei is the founding father of our country, so we must save him!"
Li Yuan said with some displeasure: "Xuanzhen and I are friends in need. How could I not help him? It's just that this little brat Yang Gao is very rude, and the conditions he proposed are beyond my ability to agree to!"
Li Jiancheng asked cautiously: "I wonder what conditions Yang Gao offered?"
Li Yuan said angrily: "Fifty thousand stones of grain and grass, and Feng Deyi's head!"
"What?"
Hearing this condition, Li Jiancheng was also surprised. Fifty thousand stones of food and grass was not a problem. Li Tang's founding of the country had the support of all the nobles in Guanlong. The treasury was abundant and the soldiers were well-equipped with food and supplies. Let alone fifty thousand stones, it was half a million. They can also take out the stone.
But the key is Feng Deyi's head. Of course Li Jiancheng understood why Yang Gao wanted to Feng Deyi's head, but Feng Deyi had made an astonishing feat for Li Tang. If he was handed over to Yang Gao, what would happen if he was handed over to Yang Gao? Who else is willing to work for Li Tang in the future? Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng suddenly understood Li Yuan's intention of calling him here. He raised his head and looked at Li Yuan, "Father, do you want to..."
Li Yuan nodded and said: "There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the people. If I bow to Yang Gao's son, who will recognize that our Tang Dynasty is orthodox in the future. So I decided to use troops against Jingxiang, and beat Yang Gao until he behaves Hand over Xuanzhen!"
"Father, no!" Li Jiancheng heard this and quickly dissuaded him, "Father, now my second brother is leading an army of 100,000 to fight Xue Ju in Qianshuiyuan. Xiaogong is also leading his troops south to Bashu. At present, the available troops in Guanzhong are only 100,000. , Nanyang Yang Yanzhao has 80,000 troops, and Wuguan is naturally dangerous. I am afraid that even if all 100,000 of my men in Guanzhong die in battle, I will not be able to take Wuguan!"
"Of course I know that Wuguan is naturally dangerous and Nanyang is difficult to get to!" Li Yuan glared at Li Jiancheng with great dissatisfaction, "I decided to send troops to Jingxiang, but I didn't say that we were going to Wuguan City for a head-on confrontation. I planned to let you lead the army out. Shangyong, attack Jingxiang!"
"Shangyong?" Li Jiancheng's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Could it be that the father planned to let his son lead an army to capture Xinye, cut off the connection between Yang Yanzhao's tribe in Nanyang and Xiangyang, and trap them in Nanyang for life and death."
The dissatisfaction in Li Yuan's eyes finally disappeared, "Assuming you still have some foresight, now Yang Gao'er's army is conquering the south of the Yangtze River. As long as we move smoothly and trap Yang Yanzhao to death in Nanyang, it will be difficult for Yang Gao'er not to admit defeat!"
Li Jiancheng asked again: "I wonder who my father plans to ask to assist his son?"
Li Yuan stroked his beard and said: "I have decided to let my nephew Zicheng serve as your deputy. The two of you will lead 30,000 elite troops to attack Xinye. I will also let your uncle Shen Tong lead the army to station in Shangluo to contain Yang Yanzhao. In this battle, This is my first confrontation between the Tang Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty, please don’t let me down!”
Li Jiancheng held up his hands and said, "My son will never let my father down!"
Li Yuan nodded and said, "Then I will wait for the emperor's good news!"

Jiangnan, Hailing City.
After Wu Yunzhao committed suicide, there was no longer any resistance to the Sui Dynasty in Hailing County. Yang Gao then appointed Wang Shouren as the governor of Hailing County, leaving Qin Ming and Niu Jinda, who were seriously injured, to guard Hailing, while the army Leave Hailing and head towards Wujun.
On the other hand, Lai Hu'er, who had quelled the banditry in Fanyang Lake, also led 50,000 elite troops to cross the river and sail northward. They sailed thousands of miles, covered the sky with flags, opened the way with two five-tooth warships that were like giants in the country, and headed up the river. , heading straight towards Jinling City, which is known as the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties.
The force that now occupies Jinling is the recently restored Nanchen Dynasty. The new emperor of the Chen Dynasty is Chen Shen, the fourth son of the former Empress Chen. However, although Chen Shen is the emperor, he is actually just a puppet. He is really The real power of Jiangnan is in the hands of the Xie family, Shen family, Yuan family and other Jiangnan dignitaries who support him.
However, most of these dignitaries were experts in civil wars and outsiders in foreign wars. When they heard that the powerful Lai Hu'er commanded 50,000 elite soldiers to kill him, they were completely in chaos. A few timid ones even Start packing up your belongings and run away as soon as there is a war.
At this moment, the splendid Taiji Palace in Jinling City was already as noisy as a vegetable market. All the courtiers were already quarreling about the coming to protect the children and lead the troops to attack, and they paid no attention to the emperor Chen Shen who was sitting on the dragon throne.
Chen Shen was wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the dragon chair. Although he didn't say a word, the anger in his heart was already burning. He kept looking at the courtiers in the hall who had no scruples about making loud noises with his angry eyes. Deep in his heart, Suddenly a feeling of sadness came over me.
After the news of Yang Guang's death came out, a group of Jiangnan nobles found him who was idle at home, and kept saying that they would help him rebuild Dachen. Chen Shen was naturally overjoyed when he heard this and agreed to them without saying a word.
But after the Chen Dynasty was reestablished, Chen Shen realized how naive he was. These nobles who he originally regarded as loyal ministers and good generals simply regarded him as a decoration. The eunuchs in the inner chamber around him and even his queen and concubines were all He was from a noble family in the south of the Yangtze River. No one was willing to be loyal to him, and his actions were subject to various restrictions. The only thing he could do was probably put his seal on the imperial edict that had been drafted by the major noble families.
