This night, in Chang'an City.
Among the hundreds of people in the entire Dong Mansion, including the guards and servants, all of them died except for a few people who were left behind intentionally. Afterwards, the entire Dong Mansion was burned to the ground, and everything was reduced to ashes.
This night, in Chang'an City.
Sui soldiers broke into more than a dozen aristocratic families, including the Ding, Ma, Fu, Zhang, Huang and other aristocratic families. All men, women and children, old and weak, were taken to prison for execution. take into custody.
That night, every door in Chang'an City was closed tightly, and countless people stayed inside their homes and did not dare to move rashly, for fear that they would suffer disaster if they were not careful.
However, except for the Dong family, there were no other bloodshed incidents in other families tonight.
It was because of Mao Xiang's special arrangement in the Dong's Mansion that the two sides were killed in a bloody battle.
But those other aristocratic families are, to put it nicely, various big and small aristocratic families, serving as ministers of the imperial court, but in the final analysis they are just mascots of the imperial court and have no use at all. Mao Xiang naturally had no interest in arranging things for these aristocratic families.
Zhangguan is only about 300 miles away from Chang'an. The scouts were working hard, changing men but not horses, and they were there in ten days.
Therefore, what happened in Chang'an quickly reached Yang Jian.
The first one to arrive was Yang Pu, one of the three earliest people to set out. Yang Pu worked really hard to get to Tongguan as soon as possible, without even taking a break during the journey. When Yang Pu arrived at Tongguan, Yang Pu felt that his body was about to fall apart.
But Yang Pu didn't know what happened next, so he only told Yang Jian the part he knew and showed Yang Jian the two pieces of cloth they got.
After that, Yang Pu stood beside him with his mouth and nose in mind, without saying a word. Yang Jian will make a decision on what to do specifically. If Yang Jian has made a decision in his heart, no matter how much others say, it may not be useful.
And if Yang Jian wanted to ask him for advice, there was no need for him to take the initiative.
Sure enough, although Yang Jian did not immediately take action against Wu Wenhua, he ordered to change the people who guarded the city gate, and let the two brothers Wu Yunzhao, Wu Tianci and Lu Gu guard the gate together.
With these three people here, even if Wu Wenhua really has any problems, he will never be able to open the door in a short time. And this period of time is enough for others to come and support.
As long as the door remains closed, there will be no real crisis in Tongguan.
However, Yang Jian had just given the order to change the gatekeepers, and two scouts had already arrived, bringing Yang Jian the latest situation in Chang'an.
"Zhaoxuan, Chudao, what do you think of this matter?" Yang Jian couldn't help but rub his tired eyes, and passed the two letters in his hand to Gao Juong and Yang Su for review.
After these two letters were sent, Yang Jian immediately ordered the two of them to be sent. As for the others, Yang Jian has not summoned them yet. At the moment, it is better to keep the number of insiders in this matter to a minimum.
Moreover, Yang Jian himself knew very well that except for a few think tanks, even if others were summoned, they probably wouldn't be able to help him much!
After Gao Jong and Yang Su checked it, they also felt dizzy. Regardless of the differences in details and processes between the two letters, the final result points to one thing: the Dong family in Chang'an City has been destroyed. Moreover, there is a high probability that it was caused by Yang Yong falling into the enemy's scheme.
Moreover, after reading these two letters, the two people's moods were also different. Between Yang Yong and Yang Guang, although Gao Yan did not blatantly take sides, he was more willing to support Yang Yong.
Compared with Gao Jong, Yang Su's choice was exactly the opposite. He secretly had a close relationship with Yang Guang, and had even given some hints to Yang Guang. He was one of Yang Guang's supporters. However, due to Yang Jian's reasons, everything was hidden in the dark.
"My lord, the top priority is to solve the problem of General Wu Wenhua first!" Gao Jiong cleared his throat and stepped forward first.
In any case, regardless of whether Wu Wenhua is really rebellious, once what happened in Chang'an City reaches Wu Wenhua's ears, Wu Wenhua's rebellion will be a foregone conclusion.
Therefore, at this time, if we continue to break up, we will suffer the chaos, and we must be ruthless to solve this Wu culture.
Moreover, Gao Yan took the initiative to focus all his attention on Wu Wenhua for the first time, also to help Yang Yong. This can be regarded as buying more time for Yang Yong, letting Yang Jian deal with Wu Wenhua's affairs first, and he can also take advantage of this free time to help Yang Yong think of any ways to recover.
"Yes, my lord, now that Chang'an has happened, Wu Wenhua's rebellion has become a foregone conclusion. My lord must make a quick decision!" Yang Su on the side agreed, but between words, he couldn't help but think about the Chang'an incident. The tone of these words was subtly emphasized.
Yang Su, a military strategist during the Sui Dynasty. He was versatile in both civil and military affairs and had extraordinary courage, and he made great contributions to the establishment and stability of the Sui Dynasty.
As a general, he can gallop around and fight decisively on the battlefield; as a prime minister, he can manage the world and stabilize the country. He is truly a rare talent.
It is a pity that when he became more and more powerful, he was nepotistic and rejected dissidents, and was ridiculed by future generations.
As a military strategist and politician, his merits and demerits are so clear; as a flesh-and-blood individual, he is so open-minded and capricious.
After hearing Yang Su's words, Gao Jun couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows and glanced sideways at Yang Su, but in the end he didn't say anything more.
"Go and tell Yang Jian to come and lie down!" Yang Jian couldn't help but feel a hint of tiredness in his tone, but it was fleeting, as if it had never appeared before.
Yang Jian didn't want to pay attention to Yang Yong's problems that were vaguely revealed in these two letters. After this battle is over, if Yongzhou is still under his control, Yang Jian will naturally have plenty of time to deal with Yang Yong's affairs.
But thinking too much about Yang Yong at this time would only be asking for trouble.
During these days, Yang Jian didn't receive any good news here. First, the reinforcements from central Shu that had been discussed were abandoned due to the invasion of the southern barbarians.
Then, there was bad news again in Liangzhou. At this time, Yang Jian already knew the news that Bai Qi had won a great victory in Liangzhou and that Fu Jian and other princes' forces were severely weakened.
Now, this incident in Chang'an City has been reported again.
Thinking of this, Yang Jian couldn't help but laugh at himself, thinking that the second most powerful general in the Sui army did not die on the battlefield, but now he was about to die in the hands of one of their own people.
