Traveling through Yuhuatian, the start of the Sunflower Collection is complete

During the Ming Dynasty's Western Expedition, Jingmen Pass on the eastern border of the Sui Dynasty was lost. As soon as the news came out, the entire Sui Dynasty was shocked.

  Countless people are at a loss and are in fear all day long.

  Many forces close to the east moved westward overnight, for fear of being looted and killed by the Ming army.

  Since ancient times, when dynasties have been defeated, the people have suffered the most.

  But then the Ming Dynasty's Western Expeditionary Army entered the country, but only incorporated the local government and did not disturb ordinary people, so it did not cause much turmoil.

  However, the Sui Dynasty court was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot at this moment and didn't know what to do...

  Sui Palace.

  When he learned the specific circumstances of the fall of Jingmen Pass, Yang Guang was furious.

  "Three hundred thousand troops were stationed, but Uncle Wang surrendered without a fight. Does he want to betray me and the Sui Dynasty?!"

  "And this Yuwen Tuo, I trust him so much, but he actually let me down!"

  "Everyone deserves to die, everyone deserves to die!"

  Above the court, all the civil and military officials looked horrified. They listened to Yang Guang venting his anger, but no one spoke.

  The final foundation of the Sui Dynasty was the [-] elite soldiers led by Yang Lin and the Grand Master Yuwen Tuo.

  They thought that this time Yang Lin and Yuwen Tuo came to Jingmen Pass in person, they would be able to repel the Ming army and defend the Sui Dynasty.

  Unexpectedly, within half a month of dispatching troops, Jingmen Pass was lost.

  Yuwen Tuo was defeated, and his backer king Yang Lin surrendered without a fight.

  The Ming Dynasty easily entered the territory of the Sui Dynasty without sending a single soldier. At this moment, it was heading towards Luoyang.

  How can they remain calm after hearing this news? !

  Even Yang Guang's incompetence and rage were subconsciously ignored by them.

  At this moment, most officials were considering their retreat.

  The border pass has been broken, and [-] elite soldiers have been defeated. The Sui Dynasty will definitely be unable to defend it.

  At this time, should we flee before the Ming army arrived in Luoyang, or should we wait for the Ming army to arrive and surrender to the Ming Dynasty?

  Many people's eyes flickered, thinking secretly.

  "His Majesty!"

  At this time, Prime Minister Dugu Feng stepped forward and said: "According to the intelligence, the Ming Dynasty broke through the customs and entered the country. No city or pass along the way dared to send troops to stop it. At this time, it had only been three days since the Ming Dynasty broke through the customs. Almost the entire eastern region had fallen. Many people even took the initiative to surrender to the Ming Dynasty."

  "If this continues, within five days at most, the Ming Dynasty's Western Expeditionary Army will attack Luoyang. Your Majesty, please find a way to stop the Ming Army as soon as possible. Otherwise, our country, the Sui Dynasty, will be in danger!"

  Dugu Feng lowered his head, his voice extremely heavy.

  He had said before that Yang Guang should be prepared for defeat in advance.

  But Yang Guang believed too much in Yuwen Tuo and Yang Lin, believing that as long as they were there, they would be able to defeat the Ming army and defend the border. He had even dreamed of repelling the Ming army and then counterattacking the Ming Dynasty and unifying the world.

  But when the news of the defeat came, Yang Guang's dream was shattered. In Dugu Feng's heart, he was actually full of resentment and helplessness towards Yang Guang.

  But his status is different, and he cannot choose to retreat like other officials.

  He was not only the prime minister of the Sui Dynasty, the head of the officials, but also the brother-in-law of Yang Guang, so he was considered a relative of the emperor.

  Because Yang Guang's first wife, Queen Dugu, is his biological sister.

  Therefore, anyone can have a way out and escape, but he cannot escape.

  His life and death can only be tied to Yang Guang.

  It's useless to complain now. We can only try our best to think of ways to solve the current crisis.

  Hearing this, Yang Guang looked at Dugu Feng and sighed: "I regret that I shouldn't have listened to what the prime minister said, because I believed in Yuwen Tuo too much!"

  Dugu Feng interrupted in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, it is useless to talk more at this time. We should put national affairs first!"

  Yang Guang nodded, but there was a flash of sadness and helplessness in his eyes, and said: "All the [-] troops on the border surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. Even Uncle Wang and Yuwen Tuo, whom I rely on most, were defeated. What can I do now?"

  When Dugu Feng heard this, he also fell silent.

  Immediately, he raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, for the current plan, we can only move the capital!"

  "Move the capital?!" Yang Guang frowned slightly and said, "Where can I move to?"

  "Chang'an!"

  Dugu Feng said decisively: "If you want to defend our country in the Sui Dynasty and repel the Ming army, the last way now is to avoid the edge temporarily and wait for time to gather the remaining troops from various places to fight to the death with the Ming army!"

  Yang Guang thought for a moment and sighed: "I didn't expect that I still have to go back to Chang'an..."

  Chang'an was the first capital of the Sui Dynasty. Later, after he ascended the throne, the capital was moved to Luoyang.

  Unexpectedly, I would have to go back in just ten years.

  For a moment, Yang Guang felt mixed feelings in his heart.

  Dugu Feng said: "Your Majesty, if you insist on defending Luoyang, you will definitely not be able to defend it with the [-] forbidden troops in the city."

  "Only by moving to Chang'an and dragging troops from all over the place to gather together can we have a chance of survival!"

  Yang Guang took a deep breath, nodded and said: "Okay, just follow what the prime minister said, move to Chang'an!"

  Dugu Feng said: "Your Majesty still needs to issue an order as soon as possible to order the armies from all over the country to go to Chang'an. In addition, Luoyang cannot just give up. I suggest that the [-] forbidden troops in Luoyang be left to guard the city to delay the Ming army's westward advance. Let the armies from all over the country have time to come to Chang'an!"

  "The prime minister is right."

  Yang Guang pondered for a moment, then looked at someone in the palace and said: "Yu Wenhuaji, I will hand over these [-] forbidden troops to you. You will lead these [-] forbidden troops to resist the Ming army, at least until the armies from all over the country gather in Chang'an. Only then can we evacuate!”

  "what?!"

  Yu Wenhuaji was immediately shocked, and then he knelt down quickly: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to take on this important task. Please choose someone else!"

  Now that it has been decided to move the capital, Luoyang has been abandoned.

  Staying here is tantamount to waiting for death.

  How could Yu Wenhuaji not see this?

  But what he didn't expect was that Yang Guang would be so heartless and wanted him to stay in Luoyang to resist the Ming army.

  Doesn't this make him die? !

  "Um?!"

  Yang Guang's face darkened, a cold look flashed in his eyes, and he said: "What? You want to resist the order?!"

  Yu Wenhuaji's body trembled and he said in a solemn voice: "Wei Chen doesn't dare, but Wei Chen is worried that he will not be able to complete this important task and disappoint His Majesty..."

  Yang Guang waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, you can delay it as long as you can. I will leave Yuwen Chengdu to help you. You and your son will stay together. It should be able to delay it for a while."

  Yu Wenhua was stunned for a moment, and then felt a deep chill.

  If Yuwen Chengdu is also left behind, both father and son will die!

  But now, how could he dare to refuse? He could only grit his teeth and accept with his hands raised: "I accept the order!"

  Yang Guang nodded, then looked at Dugu Feng and ordered: "Prime Minister, I will leave the matter of moving the capital to you. Make arrangements as soon as possible and set off immediately!"

  "According to the order!"

  Dugu Feng bowed his hands, then stood up, glanced at the pale Yu Wenji next to him, sneered, and strode away.

  Yang Guang also stood up and announced his resignation, and then hurriedly left.

  The officials had different thoughts, but they did not dare to hesitate and immediately went to prepare. Soon, only Yu Wenhuaji was left in the palace.

  "Ta Tata..."

  At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and a handsome young man wearing golden armor strode in. He looked at Yu Wenhuaji and said, "Father, what did your Majesty say?"

  Yu Wenhuaji looked at the young man with a dejected face and said in a trembling voice: "Chengdu, your Majesty has given up on us!"

  Yuwen Chengdu was stunned for a moment and said, "What did father mean?"

  Yu Wenhuaji gritted his teeth and looked in the direction Yang Guang left, saying: "That old guy from Dugufeng proposed to move the capital to Chang'an. Your Majesty asked you and me, father and son, to lead the imperial army to stay in Luoyang to resist the Ming Dynasty's Western Expedition and buy them time! "

  "what?!"

  Yuwen Chengdu's expression changed: "How could this be so?! Doesn't this mean we are going to die? How could His Majesty give such an order?!"

  "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

  "I'm going to find your Majesty!"

  Yuwen Chengdu gritted his teeth and said before leaving.

  "Chengdu!"

  Yu Wenhuaji shouted loudly, stopped Yuwen Chengdu, and said: "Why don't you understand?! Even if you are usually favored, but now, Sui Dynasty is facing life and death, how much do you and I, father and son, still have in his heart?" How much? No matter how heavy it is, can it be more important than his life?!"

  "We have become abandoned!"

  Yuwen Chengdu was shocked, and there was a hint of unwillingness in his eyes, and then he said: "Father, what should we do now?"

  A trace of resentment flashed in Yu Wenhuaji's eyes, and he said sternly: "Since he is unkind, then don't blame us for being unjust!"

  "We will stay in Luoyang. When the Ming army comes, we will surrender to the Ming army and tell the Ming army their plan. When the time comes, you and I will make up for our mistakes. In addition, in Chengdu, if you are brave enough to win the three armies, we will definitely be able to save our lives." Maybe it can be reused!”

  Yuwen Chengdu said solemnly: "Father, is this really necessary?"

  Yu Wenhuaji looked fierce and said: "This is the only way!"

  Four hundred miles east of Luoyang.

  The densely packed army marched toward Luoyang.

  Among them were the main force of the Western Expedition led by Sun Chengzong, and the Jianghu coalition led by Yu Huatian.

  In addition, Sui's patron Wang Yang Lin, generals Han Qinhu, Lai Hu'er and others were also among them.

  At this time, Yuhuatian, Sun Chengzong, and Yang Lin were riding ahead with different expressions on their faces.

  Yuhuatian was very calm, and Sun Chengzong's face was full of excitement and excitement. On the other hand, Yang Lin was depressed and his expression was extremely complicated.

  In just three days, the army broke through dozens of cities without encountering any resistance. Wherever they went, they surrendered one after another.

  All of this depends on Yang Lin.

  As the patron king of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Lin held a high and powerful position, and even Yang Guang respected him extremely.

  Therefore, it has a deep prestige among the people everywhere.

  Yang Lin knew that the Sui Dynasty was no match for the Ming Dynasty, and continuing to resist would have no effect except death. So under Yuhuatian's persuasion, he followed the army to Luoyang, and played the role of persuading surrender along the way.

  Every time he arrived at a city, he persuaded the defenders in the city to give up resistance.

  Not to mention, it saved a lot of effort.

  So Sun Chengzong was extremely excited.

  He had never thought that attacking the Sui Dynasty would be easier than attacking the Song Dynasty.

  Apart from the battle with Yuwen Tuo at Yuhuatian in Jingmen Pass, there was no other obstacle.

  If this continues, I'm afraid we can really take down the Sui Dynasty without any blood!

  By then, Ming Dynasty would be one step closer to unifying the world. How could he not be excited about this? !

  But to Yang Lin, his behavior was tantamount to betraying the Sui Dynasty.

  But he also knew that in the Sui Dynasty at this moment, the sun was setting in the west, and there was no use in resisting except for dead people in vain.

  For the sake of the people and to avoid additional casualties, he had no choice but to surrender.

  "Your Majesty, fifty miles ahead is Hangu Pass." At this time, Sun Chengzong looked at Yuhuatian and said.

  Yuhuatian nodded slightly.

  The Great Sui Dynasty was the old land of the Great Qin Dynasty. After passing Hangu Pass, you entered the central part of the Great Sui Dynasty, which was also the most prosperous area of ​​the Great Sui Dynasty.

  Yuhuatian glanced at Yang Lin next to him and said, "When we get to Hangu Pass, we will rely on the old prince."

  Yang Lin looked complicated and remained silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "I will try my best to persuade the general of Hangu Pass, and I also ask King Wu not to harm the people and soldiers of Hangu Pass."

  Yu Huatian said calmly: "Don't worry, the old prince. As long as the old prince can persuade the commanders of the city gates to give up resistance and allow the Ming Dynasty to successfully take over the Sui territory, I can do what I promised the prince. After all, I am not a murderer." people."

  Yang Lin nodded and stopped talking.

  Yuhuatian was also happy to be quiet. He turned to Sun Chengzong and said: "After passing Hangu Pass, I will not be with the general. The general will continue to lead people westward. I will go to the north to meet the Li clan for a while."

  "Yes, Your Majesty." Sun Chengzong nodded.

  At this moment, he has successfully broken through the border and entered the country, and Yang Lin has persuaded him to surrender all the way. If he still cannot capture the Sui Dynasty, he is not worthy to be the commander of the army.

  Therefore, he was not worried when he heard that Yuhuatian was leaving.

  However, when Yang Lin heard this, his eyes moved slightly, and he cupped his hands towards Yuhuatian and said, "I have an unkind request, and I hope King Wu can agree to it."

  Yu Huatian nodded: "The old prince is too polite, but it doesn't matter."

  Yang Lin's eyes flashed with fierceness, and he said: "If King Wu wants to attack the Li clan, please don't show mercy to King Wu!"

  Yu Huatian was slightly stunned, a little stunned. He didn't expect Yang Lin to be so hostile to Li Clan.

  After coming back to his senses, Yu Huatian shook his head and smiled, saying: "If this is the case, I'm sorry that I cannot agree."

  "Why?!" Yang Lin looked at Yuhuatian with hatred in his eyes.

  Of course, his hatred was not directed at Yu Huatian, but at Li Clan.

  In his opinion, if the Li Clan had not rebelled, the Great Sui Dynasty would not have been in turmoil, let alone what it is today.

  In his heart, his resentment towards Li Clan at this moment was even greater than that of Ming Dynasty.

  That's why Yuhuatian didn't have to show mercy to Li Clan.

  Even if the Sui Dynasty was overthrown, he would not let that thief Li Yuan have an easy time!

  Yu Huatian said calmly: "I have already said that what I want is a complete Sui Dynasty, and I have nothing to do with Li Clan. As long as Li Clan can be like the old prince and live up to his stubborn resistance, I will treat everyone equally. .”

  "What's more, the time has come now, why should the prince hold on to the past?"

  Saying that, Yu Huatian glanced at Yang Lin and said, "Also, does the prince think that without the Li clan's unrest, the Sui Dynasty could stop my Ming Dynasty's Western Expedition?"

  Hearing this, Yang Lin was slightly startled. He wanted to refute, but thinking of Yuhuatian's terrifying strength, he could only remain silent in the end.

  Li Clan couldn't even stop Yuwen Tuo, so how could he stop Daming?

  Everything was just a matter of unwillingness in his heart.

  Yuhuatian glanced at him, said nothing, and continued on his way.

  But at this moment, there was a rapid sound of horse hoofbeats, and a Jin Yiwei spy came in a hurry, cupped his hands and said: "Prince Qi, we have just received an urgent report. Yang Guang wants to move to Chang'an and summon the remaining troops from all over the Sui Dynasty to join us." The army is engaged in a decisive battle. At this moment, only Yu Wenhua and his father and son are left to defend the city in Luoyang."

  Yu Huatian frowned slightly, looked in the direction of Luoyang, then narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "It seems that Yang Guang is still determined to give up..." (End of Chapter)
