Turbulent Times Chapter 721: Yang Hao’s fear

The battle at Gaobi Ridge was the key to determining the entire battle situation. When Gao Ying's army of more than 100,000 troops was defeated in Gao Bi Ridge, Gao Ying's defeat was already doomed.

Yang Su immediately ordered that the three armies march towards Taiyuan at the same time. Except for the Youzhou army that continued to contain the Khitan Rilian Department, a total of 200,000 troops approached Taiyuan City in an encircling manner. At the same time, Gao Ying led the 70,000 remnant army back to Taiyuan City with one day's journey away.

Neither Yang Su nor Gao Ying knew that an unknown coup was going on in Taiyuan City.

…

…

After Wang Junlin pretended to be Taiyuan Chenglang Yu Chengjie and led people to kill Wang Xiong, the second master of the Wang family, Wang Long easily took over all the forces under Wang Xiong's command, including the Hundred Swords League and Taiyuan Gambling Square, and reported to the person in charge of Taiyuan City. The guard Dong Qingyun was an important person, but Yu Chengjie disappeared at this time.

Dong Qingyun knew very well that the Wang family could not offend easily, so he had to entertain Wang Long himself and explain to the latter. As a result, at a banquet, Dong Qingyun suddenly went crazy under the eyes of everyone, raised a knife and slashed at Wang Long, but was killed by a counterattack by one of Wang Long's guards.

At the same time, Wang's army and officials in Taiyuan, as well as the civilian forces headed by the Baidao League, began to attack at the same time. Suffering a big loss, coupled with the news that the Bingzhou army was retreating steadily, the Wang family deliberately spread the news. Due to various factors, Gao Ying's people lost control of the city gate at the first moment, more than half of the army defected, and the screams and screams continued all night. At dawn, Gao Ying's confidantes in Taiyuan City All died unexpectedly,

In this way, the Wang family took control of Taiyuan City. The process was unexpected, but the result was expected. Through this incident, Wang Junlin also saw the background and power of such a noble family as the seven clans and five surnames. No wonder Yang Su's son Yang Xuangan gathered tens of thousands of troops to rebel in history.

The mantis catches the cicada, the oriole follows. Gao Ying commanded the main force of the Bingzhou army to resist the retreat of the imperial army on the front line. Even if he was killed, Wang Junlin would sneak into Taiyuan. retreat.

Not counting the hundreds of remnant soldiers brought by Luo Yi hiding in the valley, Wang Junlin and his party only consisted of a dozen or so people. In a battle between the imperial court and Bingzhou, it was like dead leaves falling into a pond. There is not even a single ripple. According to anyone's normal logical behavior, no one would take such a risk to control Taiyuan City with this kind of person. Wang Junlin did this kind of thing that he didn't even dare to think about, and he did it successfully.

After the Wang family took control of Taiyuan City, Wang Long sent troops to break through the fragile gate of the Han Palace.

Nowadays, there are not many guards in the Palace of the King of Han. Since Yang Hao, the eldest son of Yang Liang, is just Gao Ying's puppet, the cost of the palace is always reduced. Gao Ying is not too concerned about the safety of the king's soldiers Shangxin, so it is easy to break through the gate of the palace.

What followed was ruthless killings, no matter the imperial guards or internal servants, maids, the army broke into the palace and killed everyone they saw. Finally, the leader of the team, He Duwei, led the troops into Yang Hao's bedroom. At this time, Yang Hao It is known that Taiyuan City, the capital, is controlled by the Wang family, so scared that he hid under the table in the corner of the bedroom, curled up in a ball with his head in his arms, when Captain He lifted him out from under the table, Yang Hao's crotch was wet a lot, His legs lost even the strength to stand up, and they were limp and drooping weakly. Lieutenant He Du ordered two personal soldiers to support him, one on the left and one on the right, and invited him out of the Han Palace.

When Yang Hao was "invited" into Wang's ancestral house, he seemed to be paralyzed, and his face was frighteningly pale.

Being carried into the hall, Yang Hao saw Wang Long sitting in the middle at first sight. Wang Long was tall and dressed in a purple brocade robe. He was sitting dignifiedly in front of the table, squinting his eyes and reading a book. .

Beside Wang Long, there was a young man in a white robe, his face was as sharp as a knife, quite handsome, he was leaning lazily in front of the map on the table, looking at something seriously.

Also in Taiyuan City, the well-known suzerain Wang Long and Yang Hao have naturally met. And this young man, Yang Hao has never seen him in person, but he has seen his portrait several times. Although he is not yet an adult, everyone who has seen him still remembers it. He immediately understood the identity of this young man. He is naturally His Majesty the Great Sui Emperor's highly respected young courtier, Duke of Qin'an County, and the famous and vicious Wang Junlin.

After his father's death, although Yang Hao has never been out of the gate of the Han Palace, Yang Hao is unwilling to be controlled by Gao Ying. Although he plays the role of a good baby in front of Gao Ying, Yang Hao is still a bit shrewd in secret Yes, he has endured Yang Liang's legacy, and there are still some people and forces loyal to him around him. Some things cannot be done, at least the news is not blocked.

After recognizing Wang Junlin, Yang Hao suddenly understood a lot of things, his face turned pale with fright, he immediately showed panic, and knelt down on the ground with a plop.

"Yang Hao, after rebelling against the king, pays homage to Mr. Wang Laoguo and Mr. Qin'an County."

Only then did Wang Long and Wang Junlin raise their heads, glanced at him lightly, then lowered their heads at the same time, continuing to do their own business.

"Qin Angong, continue talking." Wang Long said calmly.

Wang Junlin said with a smile: "In my opinion, the next step is to seal off the city gates on all sides, send out scouts to investigate the marching progress of Gao Ying's troops, and prevent the remnants of the rebels in Taiyuan City from gathering to attack us. Counterattack, so I think it is best to send three thousand confidant Qingqi into pieces, patrol the streets and alleys of Taiyuan City day and night, and anyone who finds more than ten people gathered will be killed without interrogation."

Speaking of this, Wang Junlin paused for a moment, glanced at Yang Hao below, and continued in a cold voice: "Besides, all those who are not conducive to our gathering the soldiers and civilians of Taiyuan City will be killed."

Wang Long nodded: "Qin Angong's words are reasonable, just as they are, so we can prevent them from happening before they happen, and guard Taiyuan City for His Majesty, cutting off Gao Ying's retreat."

Wang Long and Wang Junlin chatted for a long time, but Yang Hao kept kneeling and did not dare to lift his head. The two of them treated him as if they had never seen him. Their indifferent attitude made Yang Hao feel more and more panicked. His body shook involuntarily, full of worries and fears about his fate.

After chatting for an hour or so, Wang Long and Wang Junlin looked at each other quietly, feeling that the fire was almost enough, Wang Long then raised his head, as if he had just seen Yang Hao just now, with a surprised and unexpected expression on his face : "Eh? Isn't this His Highness the King of Han? Ah! Your Highness is His Majesty's nephew, how can you show such a great courtesy to Wang, and if you tell the world, won't it teach the world to laugh at me, Da Sui, for breaking the rules of etiquette? Please hurry up, Your Highness."

Yang Hao's body trembled suddenly, and his heart became more and more panicked.
