Chapter 290: A Threat from Chang'an

Mutiny overnight, Yang Yue imprisoned Yu Wenheng and Mu Qianjun, and was in charge of 300,000 troops in Youzhou.

In this way, there was no bloody situation in Youzhou City, on the contrary, the next day Youzhou City returned to calm.

At dawn, the situation of King Xiaoyao and Chang'an was urgent, and he needed to return to Chang'an to assist the King of Qin and the King of Shu against the Yuwen family, and to reward the Youzhou army at the end of the year, take a carriage and leave Youzhou in a hurry.

At the end of winter, before the end of the year, Yang Yue convened the military generals of Wenchen to discuss the affairs of the coming year in Youzhou Mansion.

At this moment, in the palace, it is extremely lively, at least, Lin Kaiyue, Li Xuanqi and others, who understand Yang Yue's ambitions, are all elated.

Wenchen military generals gathered, Yang Yue's cronies, Li Xuanqi, Fan Hengwen, Lin Kaiyue, Zhang Xuanheng, Wei Jiyan, Yan Yuefeng, Flying Cavalry Generals, Xiao Chen, Zhao Xuanhu, Chang Fengchun, Ye Qinghu, Lu Dingyuan

Hu Benjun generals, Xu Lin, Li Lei, Sima Kuo, Yang Hui. Li Chongliang, plus, Xiao Yun, and Wen Renyu, the younger brother of Wen Renyu.

Nowadays, most of these people have all been loyal to Yang Yue, and only Wen Renyu has little contact with Yang Yue, but today, Yang Yue still summons Wen Renyu to come.

When Yang Yue appeared in the study, all the civil ministers and military generals saluted him with their fists in unison.

Moving to the seat, Yang Yue raised his hand to signal everyone to sit down, and said: "Last night's incident, I believe that your hearts are like mirrors, now, the Youzhou army is all under the control of this king, and these forces will be the foundation for this king to compete for the position of prince."

"Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince, with this army, the prince will definitely stand out among the princes in the future and seize the position of the prince strongly!" Li Xuanqi got up and hugged his fists directly.

He knew very well that no matter what Yang Yue did in the past, he might still be canonized as the crown prince by the emperor, however, last night's mutiny was completely a challenge to the emperor's authority, and Yang Yue had no hope of being canonized by the emperor as the lord of the East Palace.

Yang Yue wants to be the prince, I am afraid that it is not easy, if you want to ascend to the highest position, I am afraid that you will need to pay a heavy price, father and son meet each other, brothers-for-tat, inevitable!

Hearing this, Yang Yue waved his hand and said: "The matter of the prince is the goal of this king in the next few years, and it is a top priority, and there are three things that must be solved quickly!"

"Dare to ask the prince, those three things?" Fan Hengwen asked.

The mutiny to seize Youzhou is a matter of great importance, I believe that the king of Xiaoyao will return to Chang'an, the news will definitely spread, and the emperor is bound to send troops to suppress it strongly, this is a top priority, Fan Hengwen privately thought.

Yang Yue coughed lightly, got up and walked to the bookcase, and said: "Last night's mutiny, in order to seize Yuwen Heng, Mu Qianjun's military power, completely control the Youzhou army, however, in last night's mutiny, Yuwen Heng rebelled first, and this king rebelled later, so, Yuwen Heng has rebelled, Yuwen family is ready to move in Chang'an, this king guesses, Yuwen Heng's Youzhou rebellion is transmitted back to Chang'an, Yuwen family must be in a hurry to jump over the wall, full of rebellion, this is the most important of the three things, and it needs to be solved urgently!"

Suddenly, Li Xuanqi, Fan Hengwen, and Xiao Yun stood up one after another and walked to the center of the study, Xiao Yun couldn't help asking: "Lord Wang, Yuwenheng really rebelled last night!"

"At this time, it is true, fortunately, this king learned the news in advance, otherwise, the victory or defeat is unpredictable!" Yang Yue bowed his head, and his heart palpitated.

Xiao Yun did not hesitate, and continued to ask: "So, how does the prince resolve the harm caused by the Yuwen family's rebellion?"

"This king is in Youzhou, and he has just seized the military power in Youzhou, and he has rebelled and returned to Chang'an, and he is afraid of being imprisoned. However, whether the ministers of Chang'an can deal with the waves caused by the Yuwen family's rebellion, this king does not dare to predict, so he is in a dilemma." Yang Yue told the truth, which was also his inner concern.

If he succeeded in the rebellion in Youzhou, but the Yuwen family succeeded in rebelling in Chang'an and lived in Chang'an, wouldn't it be a reversal of the guest and host, and it would affect the foundation of the Yang family for hundreds of years.

At this time, Xiao Yun fell into deep thought, and Fan Hengwen next to him said: "Lord Wang, the power controlled by the Yuwen clan, including the left and right guards, the left prison guard, now, the right guard is controlled by the prince, such as cutting off the right arm of the Yuwen clan, severely damaging the power of the Yuwen family, if nothing happens, the Yuwen family rebels, and it is completely a moth to the fire and kill itself."

"Things are not as simple as imagined, the Yuwen family is an old family, and it is a military family, and the forces in the Tang Dynasty are intertwined, I am afraid that it is definitely not such a little strength on the surface, otherwise, Yuwen Shi is afraid that he will not dare to rebel." Yang Yue said with a sad face, was silent for a moment, and continued: "The father and the emperor are sick, and the second brother and the seventh brother are in charge of the overall situation of the imperial court, however, the two sides are not in harmony, and it is difficult for them to concentrate their forces and fight against the Yuwen family wholeheartedly!"

At this time, Xiao Yun, who was silent, hurriedly said when Yang Yue's words fell: "Lord Wang, Weichen is worried that the Yuwen family is rebelling in Chang'an, and most of the Khitan people who are secretly married to the Yuwen family will be at the border to respond to the Yuwen family, right, Jizhou, Pingzhou, it is estimated that there will be a war in the near future?"

Yuwen Heng rebelled in Youzhou, just to use the Khitan army to introduce the Khitan soldiers into the Great Wall, and now, Yuwen Heng's rebellion was suppressed, if the Yuwen family and the Khitan are still in contact, according to the agreement, the Khitan will definitely send troops.

In addition, King Zuoxian of the Khitan was escorted to Chang'an, and the Khitan would most likely take revenge, taking advantage of the turmoil in Chang'an, the Khitans sent troops, which is very likely.

"In this matter, don't worry, how many Khitans come, how many kings there are." Yang Yue clenched his fists and said in a firm tone.

No matter how he tosses in Youzhou, it is all an internal matter of the Tang Dynasty, but if the Khitan people interfere in the affairs of the Tang Dynasty, he will never stand idly by!

"The prince is worried about the Yuwen family, and Weichen suggested that the army be sent to Chang'an, if the Yuwen family rebels in Chang'an, they will just kill back to Chang'an." Li Xuanqi said.

Hearing the sound, Yang Yue stepped down from the high platform, came to the map hanging on the screen, observed for a moment, and said: "Youzhou is far away from Chang'an, this king's mutiny in Youzhou has aroused the suspicion of the imperial court, if the army is sent close to Chang'an, I am afraid it will deepen the court's suspicion of this king!"

"Lord Wang, since the court is suspicious, why should the prince care!" Li Xuanqi proposed, "Weichen suggests that the prince send an army to deter the Hedong Jiedu envoy in the name of the Taiyuan Mansion to deter the Hedong Jiedu envoy and the Yuwen family."

Yang Yue did not agree directly, but wandered back and forth in the study, thinking deeply.

After a long time, he raised his head and stared at Zhang Xuanheng, and ordered: "General Zhang, you lead 20,000 right military guards, 10,000 flying cavalry troops, and 30,000 tiger army, and go directly to Weizhou, Xiao Chen, and Xu Lin lead the troops to assist."

Hearing this, Zhang Xuanheng, Xiao Chen, and Xu Lin stood up, clasped their fists together and said, "Don't worry, the prince will never be dishonored!"

Yang Yue bowed his head, did not delay, and continued: "Lin Kaiyue waited for 10,000 right guards, Zhao Xuanhu led 20,000 flying cavalry troops, and Sima Kuo led 30,000 tiger troops, a total of 60,000 troops, and began to reorganize the army, and sent troops to recover the northeast in the spring, open the road to Dandong as soon as possible, and capture Dandong."

"Yes!" Lin Kaiyue, Zhao Xuanhu, Sima Kuo out of the ranks, hugging fists.
