Traveling through the troubled times of Sui and Tang Dynasties

At the north exit, there were crowds of people, surrounded by people, but they did not dare to take half a step forward.

In the encirclement, a man was wearing a golden helmet and gold armor, holding a phoenix wing and gold-plated iron in his hand, and single-handedly angered everyone. At his feet, there were already many corpses of rebels lying here and there.

So majestic, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.

It was Yuwen Chengdu who was supposed to heal his wounds in the Eastern Capital!

How did Yuwen Chengdu appear here?This has to start with the fact that he felt that his body has recovered a few days ago.

After dozens of days of recuperation and decoctions, Yu Wencheng gradually felt that his strength had returned to his body, and his injuries were relieved.

It is an eventful time right now, not to mention that the emperor said before leaving that if he recovers from his injuries, he will hurry to meet him.Therefore, he didn't dare to delay, so he prepared to pack his bags and lead the army to escort him.

I never thought that just as I was about to walk out of the gate, someone stopped me.

The one who stopped him was none other than Sima Xin, his trusted bodyguard who had been by his side for many years, and the deputy commander of the Golden Snake Guard.

Sima Xin said that he would not let him leave. At first he said that his injuries were not recovered and he needed to rest. Then he said that the emperor might have arrived in Yangzhou at this moment, and he will return to the Eastern Capital in a few days. General, why are you still going?What's more, there are so many people serving the emperor, general, you should sneak in for a while, anyway, you don't want him to leave the palace anyway.

Having spoken in a hurry, Yu Wencheng noticed something strange. After repeated questioning, Sima Xin knelt down with a plop, and begged bitterly: "General, don't go! If you go, the Prime Minister will definitely forgive you when you come back." But I."

"Father told you to stop me?"

Sima Xin bit the bullet and nodded.

"Get up. At the beginning, my father asked you to stop me and not let me accompany the driver because I was seriously injured. My father was afraid that I would make a mistake. Now that I am in good health, even if I go to accompany the driver, my father will not blame me. With you." Yu Wencheng finished speaking with Yan Yuese and was about to leave the mansion again.

"General, you can't go! No matter whether you are in good health or not, you can't accompany the driver." Sima Xin knelt on the ground, and flew over to hug Yu Wencheng's calf.

Yu Wencheng was suspicious: "Why?"

"Why can't I accompany you? I was the general Tianbao of the Sui Dynasty, the commander of the imperial guard of the Golden Snake Guard."

Sima Xin was so questioned that he didn't dare to look into those sharp eyes. He just lowered his head and hugged his calf: "General, even if you kick me away, you won't be able to leave." Going out of this gate, there are still guards outside the gate, and they all obey my orders. The prime minister has an order, you must stay in Dongdu and wait for his secret order."

"Secret order? What secret order?" Yu Wencheng frowned, full of doubts, "Why did father stop me?"

Sima Xin remained silent.

"Tell me! Are you my father's man or mine? You don't even obey my orders."

Sima Xin bit his lower lip tightly and said nothing.

Yu Wencheng sighed deeply, and said coldly: "Since I can't order you, you can go, leave the Prime Minister's Mansion, and leave the Golden Snake Guard." After finishing speaking, Yu Wencheng turned around and wanted to leave.

"General!" Sima Xin half-kneeled on the ground, stepped forward to block his way, bit his lips, closed his eyes tightly, and growled: "The prime minister wants to make trouble on the emperor's way south, and he is afraid that the general will not allow it. He wanted to stop him, so he ordered me to wait in the mansion to watch the general, and once the prime minister succeeds in his attack, I will immediately lead the army to occupy the eastern capital and wait for the prime minister to return and proclaim himself emperor."

After Sima Xin finished speaking, he closed his eyes tightly and didn't dare to open them. After hearing nothing for a long time, he opened his eyes hesitantly, and saw the general standing there with a pale complexion, his eyes glazed over, and his expression was disbelieving.

Yu Wencheng's head exploded with a bang, he staggered a few steps, retreated to the carved chair, supported the back of the chair, and barely stopped.

The voice was as thin as a gossamer: "You said that father...wanted to rebel? Impossible, I don't believe it."

Sima Xin pursed his lips, said what should not be said, and said without any scruples: "Even if I have a lot of courage, I would not dare to deceive the general. Before leaving, the prime minister said that if he When the news of the success of this attack came out, I was asked to tell the general what happened. At that time, the matter is a foregone conclusion, if the general still recognizes him as his father, please control the army and occupy the Eastern Capital, so that the prime minister has no worries."

"What if I refuse?" Yu Wencheng asked coldly.

Sima Xin frowned: "Then, I will temporarily control the general, use the general's military talisman to dispatch troops, occupy the Eastern Capital, and welcome the Prime Minister to triumph. At that time, General, you will also be the future Crown Prince."

"Hahaha...His Royal Highness...does he think I want the title of His Royal Highness?" Yuwen Chengtu raised his head and laughed until tears were streaming down his face.

"General..." Sima Xin looked worriedly at the person in front of him.

Yuwen Chengdu said with a gloomy expression: "Since I was a child, my father taught me that the late emperor and the emperor have shown great kindness to my Yuwen family. My Yuwen family, originally surnamed Poyetou, and my ancestors have been servants of the Xianbei clan Tangdougui for generations. How could my grandfather get rid of his slave status and become an official if he was not appreciated by the first emperor? In my father's generation, the emperor's kindness is great, and my father is expected to be an excellent minister. I will be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and I will repay the emperor's kindness after death , These are all in my heart, I am grateful, and I will never forget them for a moment. But now he tells me that he wants to rebel like the gang of thieves! If the gang of thieves are forced to rebel, what about him? Even though the emperor is wrong in every possible way, he is fatuous and incompetent, but he has never treated his father badly, why should he be so rebellious and owe the emperor's kindness?"

Yu Wencheng smiled bitterly and said: "He is now telling me with actions that what I did before was wrong, I should not be loyal to the emperor, I should not swear allegiance to the death...Then what have I done all these years, and what am I doing? alive?"

"On one side is filial piety, on the other side is loyalty to the emperor. Loyalty and filial piety have been a dilemma since ancient times..." After Yu Wencheng finished speaking, he closed his eyes deeply, and two lines of tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

"General..."

Sima Xin knelt aside silently, not daring to say anything.Just when he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the general would compromise on this, he suddenly heard a firm voice in his ear: "Come on, pass on my order, quickly mobilize the troops, and follow me to escort—"

"General!" Sima Xin fell to the ground, looking at the person in front of him in amazement.

Yu Wencheng coldly shouted: "Offenders will be killed without mercy."

Yuwen ordered an army of 30 troops in Chengdu, and hurried all the way, fearing that his father would be confused for a moment and do something rebellious, and only hoped that he could recover before the big mistake was made.

I never thought that the plan could not keep up with the changes.Before Yu Wenhua could implement his plan in the future, Yang Guang and him were surrounded by smoke and dust from the 64th Route against the king and the [-]th Route on Guyun Peak.

At this time, it is absolutely impossible for Yu Wenhuaji to make a move.

But Yu Wencheng originally led the army to stop his father's rebellion, but turned into a real rescuer by accident.

The army went down the Bian River and traveled overnight for three days and three nights. Meteor scouts immediately reported that not far ahead, about twenty or thirty miles away, they found the emperor's dragon boat.

Yu Wencheng shouted violently: "Order the army to advance at full speed."

Who would have thought that just after arriving at the dragon boat, he was told that the emperor had gone up the mountain with his ladies and ministers of civil and military affairs for fun.

Yu Wencheng frowned and looked around, and said to himself: "This place is surrounded by mountains and shaded by greenery, it is the most suitable place for ambushes."

"Which mountain is the emperor on? How long have you been up there?"

The general in charge of guarding the dragon boat did not dare to neglect, and replied respectfully: "The emperor is about seven or eight miles away from Siming Mountain."

Yu Wencheng was startled: "Tell me again, what kind of mountain is it?"

The man didn't understand why the general was so excited all of a sudden, so he just repeated it again in a daze: "It's Siming Mountain."

The man's words suddenly sounded in Yuwen Chengdu's mind: "Yuwen Chengdu, you promise me that no matter what, you will not go to Siming Mountain."

Suddenly, his eyes seemed to open up, and he understood the meaning behind Luo Cheng's promise that he asked him for no reason.

"Siming Mountain is far away from Bianhe River, why would the emperor suddenly want to visit Siming Mountain?" Yu Wencheng asked with a glimmer of hope.

The general replied: "Siming Mountain is very famous in the local area. Not only because of its many mountains and spectacular scenery, but also because there is a quiet temple on Siming Mountain, which is located on the main peak, Guyun Peak. It is extremely effective, and the emperor does not know from which empress he heard the news, but he insisted on going up the mountain to worship. Therefore, the backer king brought more than ten thousand people up the mountain together, and ordered me to wait here."

Having basically come to a conclusion in his heart, Yu Wencheng stared at the distant mountain with blazing eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, how long have you been away with the King of the Mountain?"

"Your Majesty has already set off at about six o'clock. It's getting dark now, and I'm afraid he will stay overnight on the mountain. I'm still waiting for news."

"Don't wait, come up the mountain with me."

"General, this is against the rules, the King of the Mountain ordered me to wait here—"

"Gather the army and follow me up the mountain to protect the driver. I suspect that there are rebels in ambush on the mountain, intending to intercept and kill the emperor."

"Ah? This is unlikely, I have not received any news..."

"If the emperor is really under siege, we are in dire straits at this moment. Rescuing soldiers is like putting out a fire. Go down and prepare immediately, and we will enter the mountain immediately. If nothing happens, the king of the mountain will be held accountable afterwards, and I will fully bear it."

"Subordinates obey!"

Yu Wencheng raised his head and took a deep look at the high mountains in the distance, smoky and erratic, but he was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery at the moment.

"General? General?"

"Huh?" Yu Wencheng returned to God.

"General, the army has been mobilized, do you want to enter the mountain immediately?"

Yu Wencheng remained silent for a long time.

"General, shall we enter the mountain now?"

Yu Wencheng clenched his hands hanging on both sides into fists, suddenly stretched out his right arm, and waved forward: "Enter the mountain!"

Under the setting sun, there was a figure who looked particularly lonely. He lowered his eyes and said silently: I'm sorry, Luo Cheng, I still broke my promise after all.

As expected, when Yuwen Chengdu went up from Beishan Pass, he encountered the army of Daliang King Xiaoliang who had disturbed the army's morale by Li Yuanba.

The leader of the dead Daliang King and Xiaoliang King's army is like a frightened bird at this moment. Seeing that Yu Wencheng is so brave, with one enemy against a hundred, he is invincible all the way, how dare he stop him, they all give way.

Yu Wencheng held a gold-plated phoenix wing and opened the way in front of him. The army followed closely behind and reached the halfway up the mountain without any effort.

At this time, the news was also received in the base camp of the Great Demon Kingdom on Shibapan, the only way to go to Shangguyun Peak.

Xu Maogong frowned slightly, but he didn't expect that Yu Wencheng was not escorting Yang Guang, but now he brought an army to rescue him.

If he had known that he was not on the mountain, he should have ordered Luo Cheng to stand on the front line against Li Yuanba, and he would not have killed so many soldiers in vain. Maybe by now, Yang Guang's head had already been taken.

Xu Maogong was very regretful.

But right now, the battle is imminent, and Yuwen Chengdu must not be allowed to rescue successfully. If this great opportunity is lost, Yang Guang will not be killed until the year of the monkey.

As soon as Xu Maogong asked who would go to the North Exit to fight against Yuwen Chengdu, at that moment, three heroes volunteered to join Yuwen Chengdu. Who are these three?

They are Wu Yunzhao who was executed by the faint king Yang Guangman, Wu Yunzhao's cousin Wu Tianxi, and the grand lantern festival with Qin Qiong, Chai Shao, Qi Guoyuan and others, who was chased and killed by Yuwen Chengdu. .

These three, no matter which one they slipped out, would be able to stand alone.

Wu Yunzhao has the ancestral marksmanship to protect himself, and his martial arts skills are superb.

Wu Tianxi is also a hero, in terms of strength alone, he is not much worse than Li Yuanba, and his ability to lift a thousand catties with both arms is not a problem.Not to mention standing in front of the battle with a Huntian 鎲 in hand, it is as mighty as a giant spirit god opening a mountain.

Xiong Kuohai was chased and killed by Yuwen Chengdu in such a panic at the beginning, now is a good opportunity for revenge.

Xu Maogong glanced at these three people, nodded lightly and said: "Okay, I will send the three of you to meet Yuwen Chengdu."

The reason why Xu Maogong agreed to these three people to go was because he had other plans.

Luo Cheng is now facing the backer king Yang Lin, even if he were to face Yuwen Chengdu, based on his friendship with Yuwen Chengdu, he might not be so determined to take his life, one would have two.

Yu Wencheng is the number one general in the Sui Dynasty, and he is loyal to the faint emperor Yang Guang, but in fact he is the number one enemy in Wagang Village and must be eliminated.

Since Luo Cheng couldn't do it, let others do it for him.If this other person is from his Wagang village, it is inevitable that there will be estrangement between Luo Cheng and the brothers afterwards.Therefore, it is perfect for outsiders to kill Yuwen Chengdu.

No, Wu Yunzhao, Wu Tianxi and Xiong Kuohai's initiative to ask for a job is particularly timely, and Xu Maogong couldn't wait for it.

When the three generals stepped out of the camp, some people couldn't sit still.

"Military division, I will go too!"

"Yuanqing, why are you joining in the fun? You are still young, and you haven't mastered your kung fu yet. How can you be the opponent of Yuwen Chengdu?" Pei Renji hurriedly called to stop his youngest son.

Pei Yuanqing was dissatisfied from the bottom of his heart: "I have never really competed with that Yuwencheng, it is hard to say who will win and who will lose."

"Yuanqing, don't mess around. Why haven't you guys tried before? Before Yuwen Chengdu conquered our Wagang Village, you fought against him at the gate of the city. You are not his opponent."

Pei Yuanqing's immature face flushed red: "That didn't make it to the end, I still haven't used my last move yet."

What Pei Renji wanted to say was interrupted by Xu Maogong: "Yuanqing, you are here to stand by. If everyone loses to Yuwen Chengdu, it's not too late to make a move."

Pei Yuanqing couldn't express his anger, so he walked out of the tent angrily.

"Yuanqing!" Pei Renji hurriedly ordered his eldest son to follow.

Not to mention that Pei Yuanqing left in anger, but also that Wu Yunzhao and other three generals came to Beishan Pass with high spirits and ambitions. Yuwen Chengdu had already led his army to the mountainside and was heading to Shibapan.

Wu Yun summoned Yuwen Chengdu, and immediately remembered the scene of being chased and killed by him at Nanyang Pass that day. He could no longer restrain his hatred for the Sui Dynasty, and shouted: "Yuwen Chengdu, look at the trick—" and took the lead rushed up.

Wu Yunzhao shook his spear and stabbed it, Yu Wencheng dodged it with his head sideways, pulled back the gold-plated boring, and Wu Yunzhao's spear tip was firmly stuck in the side sharp teeth, unable to move.

Yu Wencheng was in a trance for a moment, Luo Cheng also used the spear, Luo Cheng's marksmanship was even more subtle, several times when the two of them competed, his flank was slickly bypassed by him.

Wu Yunzhao couldn't draw the gun, so he had to use his force with a loud shout, and his strength was no match for Yu Wencheng's opponent, even if the opponent was injured.

Yu Wencheng fought against the trend, Wu Yunzhao's gun body was bent into a semi-arc shape due to the unbearable force, Wu Yunzhao tried his best, and he was not an opponent, his face was flushed.

Seeing this situation, Wu Tianxi cried out inwardly that it was not good.If this continues, Yun Zhao will be injured and retreat at least, or die at worst.

Wu Tianxi didn't hesitate at the moment, and rushed up with a Hunyuan Flowing Gold Barrel in his hand: "Yun Zhao, I'll help you—"

Kuang—a heads-up.

Yuwen Chengdu had no choice but to withdraw the gold-plated boring that he had shared with Wu Yunzhao, but even so, Wu Yunzhao still couldn't bear it, and the weapon was thrown out of his hand, and Yuwen Chengdu knocked it to the ground.

It has been mentioned before that Wu Tianxi's strength is extremely strong, he can lift a thousand catties, which is comparable to Yuwen Chengdu.

With his head-on blow, Yu Wencheng really had a hard time welcoming him.Although he stopped his Hunyuanliu Jinyu and continued to move forward, but that real blow made Yuwen Chengdu's tiger's mouth numb and felt a sudden pain.

Yu Wencheng's hands were full of veins, he pursed his lips tightly, gritted his teeth, and raised his hand angrily, lifting Wu Tianxi's weapon with all his might.

Wu Tianxi didn't seem to expect that there are people in this world who can withstand such a blow from him, and he was also dumbfounded, not knowing how to react.

He was in a daze, but Yu Wencheng was not in a daze, he seized the opportunity, grasped the gold-plated bore tightly with both hands, and spun the weapon, Wu Tianxi's Hunyuanliu Jinlu was entangled along the direction of his weapon's rotation.

When Wu Tianxi realized that something was wrong, the weapon weighing more than 200 kilograms had already been taken off his hands and thrown directly to the ground.

Yu Wencheng heard the sound of the wind, and immediately bent down, avoiding Xiong Kuo Hai's cooked copper stick, and holding the gilt boring to press the horse's head, kicked it behind him, and hit Xiong Kuo Hai's stick being in.

The force was so great that Xiong Kuohai involuntarily took several steps back.

Xiong Kuohai refused to accept, and continued to rush forward with both hands clenched on the stick. Yu Wencheng leaned over and struck. With big eyes, he quickly backed away, but Zheng Feng still scratched the armor on his chest.

The three of them looked at each other with dissatisfaction in their eyes.

Wu Yunzhao wanted to pick up the weapon and go up again, but was stopped by Wu Tianxi, who looked hard at Yu Wencheng, who had not changed his expression, and said, "Withdraw—"

"Chasing—" It turned out that the general guarding the dragon boat was about to chase after him, but Yu Wencheng stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Don't chase after me!" Yu Wencheng was short of breath as soon as he opened his mouth. He felt dizzy and staggered two steps before he stood still.

"General, what's the matter with you?"

"It's okay, it's important to save the emperor, don't delay here." Yu Wencheng calmed down the discomfort in his chest.

Sima Xin knew the inside story, and looked at Yu Wencheng worriedly: "General, your injury—"

Yu Wencheng comforted: "I'm fine, just now Wu Tianxi's blow was too hard, I'm a little uncomfortable."

Sima Xin nodded suspiciously.

"Okay, let's go up the mountain."

Just as everyone was about to go up the mountain, they heard a burst of shouting in the forest: "Yuwen Chengdu, you and I didn't decide the winner that day, let's fight to the death today."

Yuwen went away after hearing the sound, and saw a white-faced young man coming out of the forest with a pair of hammers in his hands, full of energy and murderous aura.
