In the fourth year of Renshou in the Great Sui Dynasty, at the end of August 604 AD, one month after the death of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian, King Yang Liang of Han Dynasty only needed a few days to mobilize soldiers and horses from 52 states in Shanxi and Hebei, totaling 200,000 troops, to attack In the name of the treacherous Prime Minister Yang Su, he sent troops to rebel.

The rebels were in the south of Bingzhou City. They swore an oath to launch their troops, flags were fluttering, and drums and trumpets were blaring. The morale of the rebels was extremely high. Yang Liang, the king of Han Dynasty, is wearing a golden chain mail, a phoenix tail helmet with treasures and pearls, lined with red robes, a five-flowered gold horse on his crotch, and a gold and purple electric wind-sweeping sword hanging from his waist, which is really majestic.

The flag platoon officer clapped his horse and galloped, waving his command flag, and passed in front of the formation. The soldiers of the three armies were silent. I heard Yang Liang, King of Han Dynasty, shout loudly:"My dear officers, in the present court, treacherous ministers are in power, deceiving the emperor from above, oppressing the people from below, acting against the will of the emperor, and disrupting the imperial order. I, for the sake of the world, have raised my troops to attack injustice, and the three armies have Go straight to the Wei River!"

The shouting officer led the soldiers and shouted:"Qing Jun, punish the traitors!" The 200,000 troops shouted and cheered, which was deafening and boosted their morale.

At this moment, suddenly a war horse galloped in the distance, riding alone, roaring towards him. Yang Liang, the king of Han, took a closer look and saw that the person coming was none other than Huangfu Dan, Sima Huangfu of the Han Dynasty.

Yang Liang looked at Huangfu Dan and said,"General Huangfu came just in time to follow me across the Yellow River!" Huangfu Dan clasped his fists and bowed, and asked,"Now that I see a thousand-year-old warrior, even though he has unparalleled aura, he is not necessarily The chance of victory is that although the soldiers and horses are good, it is difficult to win. May you serve in the imperial court for a thousand years and keep the integrity of your ministers. When two evils meet, you should choose the lighter one; when two benefits meet, you should choose the right one. I hope you can observe your heart and think about it. If you have a foolproof plan, you dare to remonstrate with death."

Upon hearing this, Yang Liang's face sank and asked:"General Huangfu, what do you mean by saying this?"

"Chitose only has two states, Bing and Ji, but the emperor controls the world. There is a huge disparity in power. The gap is obvious. You must not be reckless. Yang

Liang pointed at Huangfu Dan with a riding crop and said:"If you don't think you are an old subordinate of my king, you should behead your head and sacrifice it to the flag to strengthen the king's power!""

"Chitose, you must not be reckless! Huangfu Dan got off his horse, knelt down and advised again:"Even if Chitose doesn't want to return to the capital, as long as he has a strong army, with the Turks to the north and the Yellow River to the south, he will be a powerful force in a separate state. The imperial court will not dare to offend Chitose.""

"What nonsense! Yang Liang shouted to the guards on the left and right:"Capture Huangfu Dan, wait until I enter the capital, and I will ask you about the crime of rebellion!""

The guards on the left and right pushed Huangfu Dan to the ground, tied him up, and threw him into the death row in Bingzhou. Two hundred thousand rebels followed the Han King Yang Liang and marched southward to kill the capital. This is: the rebellion rises. To the east of the river, the heroic clouds are heading towards Lintong. Ambition is hard to achieve, and ambition is full of ambition. The eagle feathers point to the bowstring, and the sword wields a red blade. There are endless words of heartless brother, and endless disasters for compatriots who commit suicide.

Murong Xia leads the King of Han Yang Liang's message of rebellion was driven day and night, and he rushed back to Daxing, the capital. He staggered to Ning'an Hall. When Queen Xiao Jun saw Murong Ya's expression changed drastically, she asked why.

Murong Ya complained:"Mother, something bad has happened." , King Yang Liang of Han Dynasty rebelled on August 29th."As he said this, Murong Ya handed over the rebellion document of the King of Han Dynasty.

Empress Xiao took the document, unfolded it, and was surprised. She took it and went directly to the Xuanwen Hall to meet the emperor. When she arrived at the Xuanwen Hall, she did not see Emperor Sui Yang. Only the eunuch Wang Wentong was in the palace.

Empress Xiao asked:"Why is only the father-in-law in the palace, where is your majesty?"

Wang Wentong said:"The emperor heard that Mrs. Xuanhua was ill and went to Xiandu Palace.""When she heard that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty went to see Mrs. Xuanhua again, Empress Xiao felt extremely unhappy. She took the maids and palace attendants and transferred to the Xiandu Palace.

Since Mrs. Xuanhua returned to the capital, she has been living alone in the Xiandu Palace, feeling melancholy and unhappy. Although her body was not strong, she became sick. Although she was a sickly beauty, her beauty still surpassed the queen's, which made Yang Guang come to accompany her every now and then.

Queen Xiao Jun came to Xiandu Palace, and Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty was sitting with Mrs. Xuanhua Beside the bed, holding a book of poems in hand, the two of them were discussing poems, and the conversation was very affectionate.

At this time, Queen Xiao arrived, which inadvertently embarrassed the two of them. Queen Xiao Jun bowed and said:"I have seen your Majesty.. Then, Xiao Jun knelt on his knees and said,"My child, please pay homage to Mrs. Xuanhua." This kneeling made Xuanhua even more embarrassed, and he said:"Xuanhua should worship the queen. How can I bear the queen's worship to me?""

"Madam is the mother and concubine of a child. She has different seniority, so she should kneel down and worship her. Emperor

Yang of the Sui Dynasty was troubled and couldn't express his pain, so he could only say:"Queen, Madam, don't be too polite. If you have anything important to do, please tell me quickly.""

Queen Xiao said:"Someone in Bingzhou sent a secret message, and the King of Han rebelled."

"What? Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was shocked:"Qu Tutong just said yesterday that the King of Han will return to Beijing to take office in five days. Is the Queen's news true or false?""

"The King of Han's seal and proclamation are here. Xiao Jingyan, the maid next to him, held up a letter from the King of Han. Yang Guang unfolded it, took a look at it, and said angrily,"Young thief Yang Liang, how dare you bully me!""

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty lifted up his dragon robe, ignored Mrs. Xuanhua, and left angrily, heading to the Xuanwen Palace.

When Queen Xiao saw the emperor leaving, she waved away the people in the palace, sat beside Mrs. Xuanhua's bed, and held Xuanhua in her hand. Mrs. Hua put her hands on her hands and comforted her:"Since Your Majesty has a special liking for Madam, it would be better for Madam to move to the inner palace, so as not to be unable to find the Emperor in case of emergency in the DPRK.

When Mrs. Xuanhua saw that Xiao Jun had no intention of jealousy or hatred, she had tears in her eyes and felt guilty. She said,"The queen saved my life back then and treated me as a sister. I wonder if she can do the same as she did back then?" Empress Xiao looked helpless, lowered her head and said nothing. She hesitated for a moment and then said:"There are differences in seniority. We can't mess with it again. Let's not change the title for the time being." Mrs.

Xuanhua asked with a face full of shame and a bit of guilt:"Your Majesty is here to have fun. The Queen not only does not blame me, but also cares about my concubine's body. Don't you ever hate me?" Empress Xiao

, with the temperament of an elder, took Mrs. Xuanhua's hand and comforted her:"The late emperor has said that he wants the child to be raised by his mother and concubine. How dare he neglect it." It was only because of the late emperor's legacy that Xiao Jun always kept it in mind and should take care of his mother and concubine."

The more Empress Xiao regarded Mrs. Xuanhua as her concubine, the more bitter Mrs. Xuanhua felt. After some comfort, Mrs. Xuanhua agreed to move into the inner palace, and Xiao Jun left the Xiandu Palace. Really It can be said that there are many beauties in the palace, and Xuan is as gorgeous as a flower. It is the only beauty in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the talents and sentiments make the emperor's family sad.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty returned to the Xuanwen Palace and immediately summoned hundreds of officials to go to court to discuss the strategy of retreating from the enemy..

After the civil and military ministers came to the palace, Emperor Sui Yang took the message of the Han King's rebellion and asked:"Dear ministers and ministers, today I received a message that the King of Han mobilized 200,000 rebels in Jizhou and Bingzhou to rebel."

Hearing this, His Highness exclaimed. Yang Su, the Duke of Yue, thought that his plan was perfect, but he unexpectedly angered the King of Han, Yang Liang. Yang Su came out and said:"The strategy of reducing the vassal failed, and the humble ministers cannot escape their responsibility."

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty said:"The reason why the king of Han rebelled was to side with the Qing emperor. I understand that this is just a pretext, and the ultimate goal is to seize my throne.

Yang Su said:"Your Majesty, it is urgent to mobilize troops early to resist the rebels." Emperor

Yang of the Sui Dynasty clenched his fists and beat his legs, and said in frustration:"Yesterday, I said that I would return to the court in five days. In just a few days, the 200,000-strong army is like a divine soldier descended from heaven.""

Yu Wenshu also went out and said:"The situation is urgent. Your Majesty must not hesitate. You should immediately mobilize the troops and horses of the capital and join the imperial army to prepare to resist the enemy. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty said:"It's all correct. Yang Liang raised troops to rebel in the name of attacking the Duke. It seems that to quell the rebellion, the Duke himself needs to fight.""

Yang Su saw that the matter was brought to his head, but he did not refuse, and said:"I will return to Yang Su, but I will return to Yang Su. Since the king of Han has punished me, I am willing to lead the six divisions to fight against the rebels."

"The capital's troops numbered no more than 30,000, while the King of Han had 200,000. There was a huge disparity between the enemy and ourselves. With a small number, we could fight against a large number. How confident was the Duke of Yue? Yang

Su stroked a handful of horned beard and said:"The King of Han has many soldiers but few generals. Your Majesty has many generals. With many generals at his disposal, why fear the rabble of 200,000 people?""

"Okay, I give you permission to mobilize the generals in all the capital's offices. Matters involving the enemy will be dealt with by the Duke at the right time."Yang Guang passed the order, and Yang Su immediately left the palace to order the generals. On the next day, the Sui army from the capital and the imperial army mobilized from the imperial city gathered under the general stage. There were only more than 35,000 soldiers and horses, but the military generals in the court were like The clouds were lined up in order, and the flags under the stage were ordered to cover the sun. There were many swords and halberds in the military field.

Yang Su, the Duke of Yue, made a town with three thousand soldiers and horses. The army was divided into ten towns, in order: the first town was Zuo Yi. General Wei Yu Wenshu, Second Town Wei Shaoqing Li Yuan, Third Town General Yin Shishi, Fourth Town Zuo Xiaowei General Qu Tutong, Fifth Town Chang'an Ling Qu Tugai, Sixth Town General Yu in front of the palace Juluo, the seventh town's right Xiaowei general came to protect the children, the eighth town's left Wuwei general Duan Da, the ninth town's front general Yu Juzan, the tenth town's front general Mai Tiezhang.

The remaining five thousand soldiers were under the command of the center Army, with General Duan Da as the commander-in-chief of the central army, guarding Yang Su's left and right sides. Yang Su ordered his troops and generals, and the ceremony was spectacular.

At this time, spies on fast horses came galloping over and reported urgently:"Inform the Duke of Yue that the rebels of the King of Han have already invaded." Linpu Jinguan. Yang

Su ordered the three armies:"I ordered Lai Huer to be the vanguard and immediately go to the south bank of the Yellow River to build a ferry and prepare to attack.""Lai Hu'er was ordered to lead his troops first, and the other ministries sent troops in turn, heading straight to the Yellow River ferry. The pioneer officer Lai Hu'er led an infantry of 3,000 horses and arrived at the south bank of the Yellow River first. The soldiers were ordered to immediately cut down trees along the coast, build ferries, and recruit civilian ships from the local area. , sent an envoy to the north bank to see Jiang Ying, the general of Pujin Pass.

Jiang Ying had just received a crusade from the King of Han Yang Liang the day before, and he was very anxious. He was originally a guard at Pujin Pass, checking the passers-by. Collecting exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes from merchant ships at the ferry can be regarded as a lucrative job.

Jiang Ying, the guard general, can be regarded as doing no work and enjoying the peaceful years. Unexpectedly, the 200,000 rebels of the Han Dynasty are now marching south in large numbers, with overwhelming momentum. Jiang Ying was worried about surrendering.

But when someone came to protect his children from the south, Jiang Ying felt a little uneasy and called the messenger into the room. Jiang Ying looked at the urgent document and asked:"Come here. General Guardian, do you have any instructions for sending a letter?"

The messenger said:"General Lai Hu'er is building a ferry on the south bank. He requires General Chiang to make sure the walls are clear at Pujin Pass so that he can wait for work and not go into battle easily. Jiang Ying asked again:"

General, how many days will it take to build the ferry?"

The messenger replied:"In three days, we can transport people and horses across the Yellow River ferry.""

Jiang Ying nodded in agreement and asked the messenger to return to the south bank. After the messenger left, Jiang Ying became entangled. On one hand, the rebels of the Han Dynasty were coming, and on the other hand, the reinforcements coming to protect the children were about to cross the river. Which side should he lean to? ? He started to waver and hesitated. He was in a dilemma all night. When it was just dawn the next day, the guards guarding the pass hurriedly came to report:"Report to General Jiang that something bad is going on. Pei Wen'an, the pioneer officer of the King of Han Dynasty, has led his troops to the pass!""Jiang Ying was shocked. He had calculated that he was in a dilemma. The rebels arrived at Xiongguan overnight. The morning sun wanted to shine brightly, and the evening sky made the shadows gurgling. Bursts of horse hooves passed across the ferry, and a few autumn rains swept over the rivers and mountains. The flags were fluttering and startled thousands of miles away. Don't wait for Nanzhou to arrive at Beiwan.
