Chapter 1650 Breaking Jinyang

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although Zhao Wenke is ambitious, he sees reality clearly.  The only bargaining chip he has now is Jinyang City. Of course, selling it to the Sui army is the best way to trade. Otherwise, what use will it be worth relying on only the three to five thousand remaining soldiers.

    Zhao Wenke secretly sent his confidants to Zhang Wenyuan's army, after receiving Zhang Wenyuan's promise to "let bygones be bygones, and reward meritorious deeds."  On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Wenke ordered people to open the gates of Jinyang City and let the Sui army enter.

    The Sui army then captured Jinyang City.

    On this day, Li Yuangang entered Guanzhong.

    The Sui army entered the city and encountered little resistance.  In fact, Li Yuanji escaped from the battlefield and lost the hearts of the people.  As everyone said, the Li family themselves cannot fight to the death, so why should they be asked to die.

    The Tang military officials headed by Yu Wenxin were directly captured by Zhao Wenke and his troops and escorted to Zhang Wenyuan.  Zhao Wenke was the main general in the city. His defection left the Tang army with no chance to resist.

    The captured Yu Wenxin was dejected and had no intention of resisting.

    "I tried my best, but bad luck is not a crime of war."

    Yu Wenxin was escorted to Zhang Wenyuan. Although he did not resist, he bowed his head and remained silent.

    Zhang Wenyuan heard that Yu Wenxin admonished Li Yuanji in the city and admired him very much, so he said: "If Li Yuanji listens to Yu Wengong, I may not be able to enter the city."

    When Zhang Wenyuan said this, Yu Wenxin felt even more uncomfortable, and his resentment towards Li Yuanji deepened.

    Seeing this, Zhang Wenyuan extended an olive branch to Yu Wenxin.

    Yu Wenxin was the nephew of Yu Wenbi, the former Minister of Rites. After Yu Wenbi was killed by Yang Guang, all his nephews and sons were dismissed.  Yu Wenxin also wanted revenge when he participated in Li Yuan's rebellion.

    So Yuwen Xinnai said: "Yang Guang and I have a hatred as deep as the sea. I wish I could kill Yang Guang. How can I serve Yang Sui?"

    Zhang Wenyuan didn¡¯t take it seriously.

    "In the past, Shangshu Yuwen, Gao Xiangguo and He Ruobi were both sinned by the emperor and ordered to be executed. No one dared to speak. Only Duke Wei spoke uprightly and spoke for the three of them. Although Shangshu Yuwen was not saved, he still tried his best.

    "Now if Duke Yuwen is under the command of Duke Wei, he will also be repaying his kindness."  And if you are not serving in the court, how can you be considered serving the emperor?  It was Mr. Yuwen who was too rigid.  "

    When Huang Mingyuan went to remonstrate with Yang Guang outside the Great Wall, his main purpose was to save Gao Jiong, but he also indirectly helped the other two people, although he did not save them from death.  Otherwise, not only will they die, but their families will also be exiled.

    Yu Wenxin was shocked, hesitated for a moment, and then agreed to submit.

    "If I am not abandoned by Duke Wei, I am willing to serve under Duke Wei and do my best."

    Since it is impossible to assist Li Yuan to destroy the Sui Dynasty, it is not feasible to assist Huang Mingyuan to destroy the Sui Dynasty.

    After Yu Wenxin surrendered, he did his duty and helped Zhang Wenyuan persuade Liu Zhenghui and others to surrender.

    Liu Zhenghui was born in the Liu family in Henan. He was originally from the Xiongnu clan and was a descendant of Liu Kuan, the brother of Liu Kuren, the leader of the Xiongnu during the pre-Qin Dynasty.  Liu Zhenghui's father Liu Tan once served as Minister of Dali, but he was not from Guanlong. Instead, he was an old minister of the Northern Qi Dynasty. His great-uncle Liu Huanjun once served as the minister of Zhongshu in the Northern Qi Dynasty.

    Historically, Liu Zhenghui was also captured by Liu Wuzhou, but he was loyal and unyielding. Although he was captured, he still did not forget to secretly inform Li Yuan of the enemy's military situation.  However, the situation in Li and Tang Dynasty at this time was different from history. Jinyang was lost and the situation was precarious. The Sui Dynasty was the orthodoxy, so Liu Zhenghui also chose to surrender to the Sui Dynasty.

    This time the Sui army gained a lot from breaking the city.  As the command center of Hedong Yuhu, Jinyang City can be called the largest city in the north.  Since the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Qi Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Great Sui Dynasty have been operating here for more than 30 years. Jinyang has abundant storage.  Moreover, there is Jinyang Palace in Jinyang City. In order to support Li Yuan's army, Pei Ji gave Li Yuan 500 maids at one time, 90,000 dendrobium (stones), 50,000 pieces of miscellaneous colors, and 400,000 pieces of armor.

    Coupled with the various materials stored in Jinyang itself, they are piled up like mountains.

    Li Yuan raised troops and consumed a large amount of supplies. However, before Li Yuan went south, in order to enable Li Yuanji to hold on to Jinyang, he did not bring many grain stores and ordnance with him.  In Li Yuan's estimation, it should be possible to defend Jinyang City for more than half a year, and within half a year, he had occupied Guanzhong and was able to move north to support Jinyang.

    Li Yuanji "doesn't feel bad for betraying his father." When he escaped, he directly handed over Jinyang, which was rich in supplies.  The Sui army seized a total of nearly 200,000 shi of grain, hundreds of thousands of ordnance, and countless horses and armors, which directly supplemented the Youtun Guard and Huben Guard armies.

    When the Sui army occupied Jinyang, the most worried person was actually the Wang family of Taiyuan.

    After all, Li Yuan was able to rebel in Taiyuan before without the support of the Wang family, but now Li Yuan's rebellion failed and the Sui army came.

    If the Sui army treats the Wang family as a co-conspirator, the Wang family in Taiyuan will probably perish.

      Taiyuan Wang family is divided into Jinyang Wang family and Qixian Wang family. Among them, each Jinyang Wang family is prominent. Later, there were five surnames and seven families. Among the ten most prominent families, the Wang family was the Jinyang Wang family. The Northern Wei Dynasty Zhongshu Ling  The branch of Wang Qiong¡¯s fourth son.

    The Wang family in Qixian County did not appear after the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and later generations mostly pretended to identify them. Therefore, in order to revitalize the family, they participated in Li Yuan's rebellion more actively.  Li Yuan's brother-in-law Wang Yu is the Wang family in Qixian County.

    At this time, Wang Yu had been captured by the Sui army. As a person who directly participated in the rebellion, his family was also destroyed.  Many people from the Wang family in Taiyuan participated in Li Yuan's rebellion, and they were also arrested and their homes confiscated.

    Someone else might have given the Wang family this face, but there was no need for the army under Duke Wei.

    At this time, although the Sui army had not yet taken full action against the Wang family, the Wang family was worried, fearing that they would follow in the footsteps of the Fan Yang Lu family.  If there is one, there are two. Huang Mingyuan can definitely do this kind of thing.

    Seeing that the Sui army had no attitude, Wang Shao, the leader of the Jinyang Wang family, couldn't sit still anymore, so he went to visit Zhang Wenyuan.

    Wang Shao is the great-grandson of Wang Qiong and was born in the Wang family's family in Jinyang.  He once served as secretary and young eunuch, specialized in the history of the country, and compiled "Notes on Daily Life". He was a great master of his generation.

    Wang Shao was in his seventies and in poor health. He would never have taken action in person unless he was really worried.

    When Wang Shao saw Zhang Wenyuan, he did not put on airs, but looked like a kind old man. He explained to Zhang Wenyuan the Wang family's loyalty to the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and hoped that the Sui army could release some of the captured Wang family children.

    Wang Shao was well-known, so Zhang Wenyuan was very polite to him, but he didn't have to say how to deal with Wang. He had to give Wang Shao good words to comfort him, but he didn't give Wang Shao any accurate words.

    Finally, seeing that Wang Shao had a good attitude, he deliberately said: "Duke Wei once told me about the Jinyang incident. Anyone who is involved in the rebellion, regardless of status, would rather be in vain than indulge in it."

    Wang Shao was a little stunned after hearing this. Huang Mingyuan was going to kill him.

    "Gong Wei still respects the prince. After all, he was taught by the prince. Duke Wei asked me to tell the prince that when the family is big, there will always be some unfilial descendants. Rather than waiting for them to make big mistakes, it is better to clean up early. For some  He still values ????a family that knows its mistakes and can correct them."

    After hearing this, Wang Shao understood a little. Whether the Wang family lives or dies depends on his choice.

    When Wang Shao returned to his residence, he sent his eldest son to Hebei. If he had not been ill, he would have gone there himself.  Wang Shao had a premonition that if he didn't go this time, there would probably be no Wang family among the big families in the future.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
