Yang Guang fell to the ground and twisted his ankle. It was in pain, but the arrow was ruthless and still fell down. He almost shot him several times, which scared him so much that he rolled and crawled. The crown on his head was also thrown away, and his head was dispersed, making him feel extremely embarrassed.

At this time, a child's cry suddenly came. Yang Guang looked up and saw that it was Yang Gao, the youngest son who followed him to the city gate in the morning. He was waiting under the city gate just now, following some ministers and the guards were too suddenly. The ministers and the guards were not mentally prepared. In danger, the first consideration was to hide themselves. Yang Gao was too young and ran and crawled, and he was so scared that he cried.

In desperation, Yang Guang's father's love emerged, he staggered over, hugged his youngest son, and then curled up under the stone stairs to avoid the wandering arrows.

He also felt sad and sad when he heard the cry of the child in his arms. In the end, it was his turn to be trapped in this Yanmen County. The Turkic army could be able to be in the city at any time. At that time, the people in the city would be slaughtered and no one could survive.

A few days ago, Yang Guang was full of confidence and energetic, feeling that he had accomplished his great cause and was about to be famous for his eternal period. In the world, there was no country that dared to be hostile to the Great Sui Dynasty and clamored to surrender to his heroic rule. In this fantasy, he suffered an unprecedented heavy blow and shattered his dreams in an instant.

Now even he doubted himself, and his will suddenly fades away, feeling that life and death are impermanent. He has been busy for ten years and has not enjoyed it well. He works hard for the country all day long, and wants to do some big things, and spends all his energy and effort, and often reviews memorials very late. Yang Guang felt that those busy days and nights were not worth it. Life was short, so it was free and worry-free to squander.

In an instant, the big inner guards and Qianniu prepared men found Yang Guang's hiding place and surrounded him with shields. The sound of armor leaves sounded, protecting Yang Guang and Zhao Wang Yang Gao, and temporarily avoided the disaster in front of him.

Yanmen County, Gan County, is the southernmost city at Yanmen County, and further south is Taiyuan County.

The entire Yanmen County is in the cracks between the mountains, and this is even more so in Wang County. It is like a gourd mouth, with mountains on both sides of the east and west, and flat rivers between the two mountains. A Hutuo River flows from north to south through this narrow plain. Therefore, the ancients said that this place is "a total battlefield of millions of mulberry fields, and hundreds of two rivers and mountains are full of red soil". It has always been a battle of military strategists, so it is also known as the "key of the Three Jins".

Yang Hing led 30,000 troops, and was once the rear army of the Five Route Army. He is currently defending Liangcheng and has a complicated mind. He follows two generals, Yuan Wuda and Xu Hongren, looking at Yanmen Pass in the north, each with his own thoughts.

"It's not like what happened to the father, can you persevere?" Yang Ming sighed, but no one knew whether he hoped his father would persevere or could not.

Yuan Wuda said something in his words: "Your Highness, since the crown prince returned to heaven, Your Majesty has not established a crown prince for a long time. Logically speaking, the eldest son of the legitimate son is dead and the second prince can inherit the throne, but Your Majesty is hesitant. Seeing that the eldest grandson of the emperor has grown up, Your Majesty is in a bad situation."

"Hmph, it's not just not good. I've been imprisoned in the past few years and I won't let the king participate in any major military affairs. Those ministers who showed good things to me in the past probably have forgotten me."

After Yang Zhao's death, all the civil and military ministers thought that Yang Guang would make Yang Xiao the crown prince, so they all took the initiative to show their kindness and came to visit and expressed their loyalty to the future lords. This is beyond reproach. After all, Yang Guang had few descendants, and once Yang Zhao died, the second prince Yang Xiao should be qualified to be the throne.

But Yang Guang, who was suspicious of being too heavy, was worried that his authority would decline when he was alive, and he was disappointed with his second son's arrogant and domineering personality and his humble personality. After several contradicts him, Yang Guang had no intention of making Yang Ming the crown prince again, so this matter has been unresolved.

The ministers in the court were confused and were thinking about the sage's intentions in private. Some people analyzed that Yang Guang intended to wait for the emperor's eldest grandson to grow up and pass on the throne to the emperor's grandson, so that he could continue to be more in power. The next heir was young and was not in a hurry to inherit the throne, so there would be fewer conflicts between the two, so there would be no need to worry about not being able to wait to usurp the throne.

Xu Hongren lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, several reinforcements have arrived and are about to arrive at Xinkou, the junction of Taiyuan County and Yanmen County. There will be a reorganization of the army. The Turkic army will attack Taiyuan County from Yanmen County. The heroic pass at Xinkou is the last barrier. If our army retreats from Wancheng to Xinkou, we will gain a greater foothold and control those armies, with a strength of 100,000. Once all Yanmen County in front falls, we will support Your Highness in Taiyuan. At that time, use various armies to resist the Turks entering the Central Plains. Your Highness will have a higher reputation and control the ministers."

Yang Qing's eyes moved, but he quickly shook his head and said, "Now the way to Xinkou has been cut off by the Turkic army. If we want to withdraw, we have to break out. Life and death are unpredictable. When the reinforcements from the rear come out of Xinkou and arrive at our city, we will make a decision."

He was hesitant, one was worried that there would be huge risks in the breakthrough, and the other was under Yang Guang's pressure for many years. He wanted to usurp power this time. He was worried that if his father did not die in front and survived, his situation would be even worse. Third, Yang Tong and Yang You were in Dongdu and Xijing. It was still unknown whether he could eliminate these two nephews after he took control of the military power. There were too many variables that made him dare not make a decision immediately.

Yuan Wuda and Xu Hongren looked at each other and secretly shouted, "It's a pity that both of them were generals in the Imperial Guards. They also heard in private that rebels from all over the country were rising and it was very uneasy. If Yang Guang continued to do this, they would not have a good life and would die and not see the future. They hoped to encourage Yang Ming to take a chance. They had the merit of becoming a dragon, and not to mention their promotion and wealth, they could also let the court know about the rebellion earlier, so that the court would not perish. They were all the guards and generals who suffered.
