Yang Xuangan deployed 30,000 elite soldiers on the front line of Pujin Pass, Tongguan and Guangtongcang, commanded by Yang Xuanjing, Yang Ling was accidentally killed, Yang Xuangan also knew that Yang Xuanjing should be transferred back, and he could no longer be put in charge of the army, but Yang Xuangan had too many concerns and did not make a decision for a long time.

20,000 troops were deployed outside Pujin Pass, which can not only defend the enemy army from crossing the river from Pujin Pass, but also defend against the enemy going north, the strategic position is extremely important, Yang Xuanjing's marching marshal tent is set up in Pujin Pass, and Li Yuan's army goes east to Hanoi County, so that the defenders who have been tense are relaxed.

Yang Xuanjing learned the news that his son Yang Ling was killed by Yang Xuangan three days ago, although Yang Xuangan apologized to him, but he missed, although Yang Xuangan was willing to meet all his requirements, but this could not save his son's life.

Yang Xuanjing locked himself in the big tent and cried for a day, hated all night, and the rest of the time he was thinking about his request, he wanted a palace concubine, this was his long-cherished wish for many years, he wanted gold treasures, land, and beautiful houses, and he also wanted to live in the palace for a month, and there was power, he wanted the prince, and he wanted Shangshu to shoot the left servant.

He has turned the grief of losing a child into a ** for women, money, and power.

At this time, the voice of the pro-soldier came from outside the tent, "General, there is a sale at the door." ”

This is Yang Xuanjing's special term, which means that there are goods coming to the door, originally Yang Xuanjing didn't see anyone, but three days have passed since the news of his son's death, and his pain of losing his son has faded a lot.

"Come in!"

The two soldiers walked in carrying a sandalwood box, and it was obvious that the box was quite heavy, and there were a lot of goods, and the box itself was worth a lot of money.

The soldiers put the box on the table and opened it, the jewels and gold flashed inside, which illuminated Yang Xuanjing's eyes, and he slowly stepped forward, and more than twenty heavy pieces of gold weighed three or four catties. The dagger studded with gems, all kinds of gems and jewelry dazzled him, and his eyes showed greed.

A pro-soldier stepped forward and whispered a few words in his ear, and Yang Xuanjing's eyes narrowed. If you want to be an official, isn't it simple?

"Let them in!"

Soon, the soldiers brought in the master and servant, who was a man of great stature, with a round waist, and according to the rules, he could only stand at the door of the tent.

And the master is seventeen or eighteen years old. The brocade robe and golden crown, the appearance is handsome and chic, holding a feather fan, and he looks like a talent, even Yang Xuangan immediately liked this kind of appearance.

They were all strictly searched, without any weapons on their bodies, and the young man stepped forward and gave a deep salute, "See General Yang!" ”

"What's your name?" Yang Xuanjing's tone was very soft. A smile on his face.

The young man said respectfully: "My surname is Li, and my single name is 'Dou', and my ancestral home is Zhao County, Hebei. ”

"Zhao Jun Li. That's one of the seven hopes! ”

"The ancestor is just a broken child of the Li family, and he went to Wuchuan Town to defend the border during the Northern Dynasty, and his father later did business in Taiyuan and gradually developed."

Yang Xuanjing nodded, it turned out that he was the son of a businessman, he had money but no power and no status, no wonder, when he heard that the other party was the son of a businessman, Yang Xuanjing's tone was a little more arrogant.

"What do you want to do?"

"It's my father who wants to be an official, and I don't know the specifics of the villain. My father put a letter in the box, didn't the general see it? ”

"Letter?" Yang Xuanjing was stunned, he opened the box and looked for it, but he didn't see any letters.

"Where is the faith?" Yang Xuanjing asked with a frown.

"I remember!"

The young man patted his forehead with a look of sudden realization. Apologetically: "I hid the letter on the wall of the box, it is not easy to find, I will take it to the general." ”

The young man stepped forward, groped with his hand on the wall of the box, and really found a crack, but the change happened suddenly, the young man grabbed the dagger inlaid with gems in the box, the scabbard was withdrawn, and a cold dagger appeared in his hand, the cold light flashed, and the dagger was against Yang Xuanjing's neck, and the long sword at his waist was pulled out and thrown aside.

"Don't move, if you move, I'll kill you!"

Yang Xuanjing was stunned, and several personal soldiers in the tent shouted and pounced, but Li Shimin dragged Yang Xuanjing back a few steps, "Tell them to put down their weapons!" ”

The sharp stinging pain in his neck brought Yang Xuanjing to his senses, and he shouted in a trembling voice: "Don't mess around! Put down the knife. ”

Several pro-soldiers stopped, had to slowly put down the knife, at this time, the figure of Wei Chi Gong at the door of the tent was as fast as lightning, he picked up a knife from the ground, waved several knives, and the screams sounded, several pro-soldiers were separated, and a human skull rolled to Yang Xuanjing's feet, so frightened that Yang Xuanjing's legs trembled.

"You are.... Who? ”

"Didn't I tell you?"

The young man smiled slightly: "My surname is Li, my name is Shimin, in fact, you saw it when I was ten years old." ”

Yang Xuanjing was frightened and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"It's very simple, surrender to us, I will protect you from being a high-ranking official and rich all your life, if you don't want to, I will use your head to repay the merits."

Yang Xuanjing only felt incredible, did he break into the big tent and capture himself like this? But everything in front of him was so real, at this time, the tent door was crowded with hundreds of Yang Xuanjing's personal guards, holding swords and confronting Wei Chigong viciously, but no one dared to step forward.

At this moment, a messenger broke up and rushed in, and reported in a loud voice, "General, an army of about 10,000 people has come from the north, and it has reached us two miles away. ”

Li Shimin sneered and said: "Yang Xuanjing, I will give you one last chance, let your soldiers surrender and serve us, I will promote you as the prince of the country and give you wealth, otherwise, today next year will be your death day, you choose!" ”

Yang Xuanjing remembered that his son was innocently killed, and the hatred in his heart suddenly surged up, and he let out a long sigh, "It's Yang Xuan who feels unkind, it's not me who is unjust, I am willing to surrender to Tang Gong." ”

Li Shimin was overjoyed, "You give the order immediately!" ”

"Pass my order, the three armies lay down their arms and surrender to the army of the Duke of Tang...... With Yang Xuanjing's surrender to Li Shimin, the east gate of Guanzhong was opened, Li Yuan immediately returned to the army, 150,000 troops entered Guanzhong from Tongguan, occupied Guangtongcang, and advanced to Chang'an, at the same time, the Dou brothers of Fufeng County defended and attacked, and led the army to attack Yi County, Yang Xuanxuan and Yang Wei led 50,000 troops to fight against Dou Kang's army, but was attacked from behind by Li Yuan's daughter Li Xiuning led 80,000 righteous troops, Yang Xuangan's army was defeated, and Yang Xuanxuan and Yang Wei led the remnants of the army to retreat to Shiping County.

There was a great chaos in Guanzhong, and all the great families and clans organized armed forces to occupy the county seat to welcome Li Yuan into Guanzhong, in just three days. Weinan, Xinfeng, Gaoling, Fuping, Sanyuan, Huayuan, Yunyang, Jingyang, Tongguan, Shangyi, Juxian, Lantian and Fengyi counties have responded to the incident and changed their courts. Killing the children of the Yang family appointed by Yang Xuangan and raising the flag to welcome Li Yuan into the customs, the children of the nobles of Guanlong were excited and rushed to Yuanmen to serve, which was in stark contrast to the coldness when Yang Xuangan entered the customs.

Chang'an has become an isolated city, and only Yang Xuangan personally led 50,000 troops to defend the city.

Yang Xuangan was already desperate, and Yang Xuanjing's surrender made him feel cold. He locked himself in the study, for a whole day, no one was seen, there was no light in the study, it was dark, only Yang Xuangan sat alone in front of the window, holding a sword, which was left to him by his father Yang Su. It is also his only spiritual sustenance.

Holding the sword, he could feel his father's spirit still alive, and then he remembered his father's words. "Don't take Guanzhong, take Shandong as the foundation, and contact the Shandong Shi clan to resist Guanlong."

Yang Xuangan sighed softly, his father's eyes were sharp and his thoughts were correct, but how could he do it? He's in Shangluo County, does he have any other way to go besides taking the middle road?

He thought of his own family again, and for so many years, he had been defending the interests of his family's sons-in-law. The descendants are distinct, the heirs are heavy, and he always thinks that the basis for him to seize the world is the family son-in-law, but in the end, he was defeated in the hands of the family's son-in-law, Yang Xuanjing. Why did he betray himself?

Yang Xuangan's anger and remorse were burning at the same time, he should have listened to Zhang Ji's suggestion, and used the fastest and fastest means to deprive Yang Xuanjing of his military power, his soft-heartedness and indecision eventually caused a catastrophe, and the remorse in his heart made Yang Xuangan almost spasm.

"Father!"

At this time, the figures of two sons appeared outside the door, and Yang Xuan sighed, these two sons were the only ones he couldn't let go.

"Come in!"

The door opened, Yang Jun and Yang Rong walked in, the two of them were also worried, different from Yang Jun's high position, Yang Rong was very low-key in the past two years, he was deeply hit by his mother being driven back to the Zheng family by his father, and he himself had no ability, and he served as the commander of Yang Xuangan's right, and he was actually one of the leaders of the pro-soldiers.

"Father, we're going to think of a way back for ourselves." Yang Jun stepped forward and whispered.

Yang Xuangan nodded, "I know, if I am defeated, you two brothers will go to Fengzhou!" In any case, he is your brother, there is no bitter hatred between you, at least he can give you a piece of wealth, so that you can live, this is the last hope for the father. ”

Yang Jun bit his lip, he would rather die than go to Yang Yuanqing, he didn't say anything, but gave his brother a quick look, Yang Rong snorted: "Father.... We can also ask Tang Gong... Surrender. ”

"What did you say!"

Yang Xuan was furious, he suddenly stood up and scolded, "You rebel, you actually asked me to surrender to Li Yuan, take away my inheritance, rob me of Guanzhong, kill my people, such a deep hatred, you actually let me surrender, you get out!" I, Yang Xuangan, don't have a cowardly son like you. ”

Yang Rong also let go and shouted: "Those who know the times are Junjie, the general trend of Guanzhong has gone, I asked thirty generals, and everyone expressed their willingness to surrender, why does my father want to sail against the current?" ”

Yang Xuangan was almost mad, drew his sword and slashed at Yang Rong, "You dare to mess with my army's heart, I will kill you as a rebel!" ”

Yang Jun hugged his father's waist and shouted, "Second brother, go quickly!" ”

Yang Rong thought of his mother, he glanced at his father with great resentment, turned around and ran out.

Yang Xuangan shook off Yang Jun, and when he saw that Yang Rong had run away, he was so hateful that he inserted his sword into the scabbard, and turned his head to glare at his eldest son, "Don't you want me to surrender too?" ”

Yang Jun was frightened, and hurriedly said: "The child just wants to persuade his father to cheer up, to stabilize the morale of the army, and to prevent people with ulterior motives from taking advantage of his father's absence to make trouble." ”

This sentence made a little sense, Yang Xuangan nodded, hung the sword on his waist, passed the long lance in front of him, and walked quickly to the outside of the study, Yang Jun's eyes were fixed on his father's desk, he slowly opened the drawer, and the gold medal was lying quietly in the drawer......
