Yang Xuangan deployed 30,000 elite troops on the front lines of Pujin Pass, Tongguan and Guangtongcang, and was commanded by Yang Xuanjing. Yang Ling was killed by accident. Yang Xuangan also knew that Yang Xuanjing should be transferred back and that he could no longer hold military power, but Yang Xuangan was worried too much and did not make a decision.

There were 20,000 troops outside Pujin Pass. This place could not only defend against enemy troops crossing the river from Pujin Pass, but also defend against enemies down north. Its strategic position was extremely important. Yang Xuanjing's marshal's tent was set up in Pujin Pass. Li Yuan's army went east to Hanoi County, so that the defenders who had been tense in their hearts could relax.

Yang Xuanjing learned about his son Yang Ling being beaten to death by Yang Xuangan three days ago. Although Yang Xuangan apologized to him, he was just a mistake. Although Yang Xuangan was willing to meet all his requests, this could not save his son's life.

Yang Xuanjing locked himself in the tent and cried for a whole day, hated him all night, and for the rest of the time he was considering his request. He wanted a palace concubine, which was his long-cherished wish for many years. He wanted gold treasures, land, and beautiful houses. He also wanted to live in the palace for a month, and he still had power. He wanted the title of king and the Left Pushe of Shangshu.

He has turned the grief of losing his son into a slap for women, money and power.

At this time, the voice of the personal soldiers came from outside the tent, "General, there is a business to come."

This is Yang Xuanjing's special term, which means that there is wealth coming to the door. Originally, Yang Xuanjing didn't see anyone, but it has been three days since the news of his son's death, and the pain of his loss of his son has faded a lot.

"Come in!"

Two personal soldiers walked in with a sandalwood box. It was obvious that the box was quite heavy and had a lot of money. The box alone was valuable.

The personal soldiers placed the box on the table and opened it. The pearls and gold flashed. The illumination of Yang Xuanjing's eyes made him dizzy. He slowly walked forward. More than 20 heavy pieces of gold weighed three or four kilograms. The daggers inlaid with gems, various gems, and jewelry made him even more dazzled, and his eyes showed a look of greed.

A personal soldier stepped forward and whispered in his ear. Yang Xuanjing narrowed his eyes. Isn’t it simple to be an official?

"Let them in!"

Soon, the soldiers brought in the master and servant. The servant was majestic, big and round. According to the rules, he could only stand at the door of the tent.

The owner was only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a brocade robe and a golden crown, and was handsome and handsome. He held a feather fan in his hand and looked handsome. Even Yang Xuangan immediately liked such a good-looking appearance.

They were all strictly searched. Without any weapons on them, the young man stepped forward and bowed deeply. "See General Yang!"

"What's your name?" Yang Xuanjing's tone was very soft and his face was full of smiles.

The young man said respectfully: "I have the surname Li, and my name is just 'Dou'. My ancestral home is Zhaojun, Hebei."

"The Li family of Zhaojun is one of the seven hopes!"

"The ancestor of the family was just a broken child of the Li family. During the Northern Dynasties, he went to Wuchuan Town to guard the border. Later, his father did business in Taiyuan and gradually developed."

Yang Xuanjing nodded. It turned out to be the son of a businessman, with money, no power or status. No wonder, when he heard that the other party was the son of a businessman, Yang Xuanjing's tone became a little more arrogant.

"What official do you want to be?"

"It was my father who wanted to be an official, but the villain didn't know the specifics. My father put a letter in the box. Didn't the general see it?"

"Letter?" Yang Xuanjing was stunned. He opened the box and searched it, but he didn't see any letter.

"Where is the letter?" Yang Xuanjing asked with a frown.

"I remembered it!"

The young man patted his forehead, suddenly realized his mind, and said apologetically: "I hid the letter on the wall of the box, it's not easy to find, so I'll take it to the general."

The young man walked forward and groped on the wall of the box with his hands, and found a crack. Unexpectedly, the young man grabbed the dagger inlaid with gems, and pulled off the scabbard. A cold dagger appeared in his hand. A cold light flashed, and the snow-bright dagger pressed against Yang Xuanjing's neck. The long sword at his waist was pulled out and threw it aside.

"Don't move, just move it and kill you!"

Yang Xuanjing was stunned. Several personal soldiers in the tent roared and rushed forward. Li Shimin dragged Yang Xuanjing a few steps back, "Tell them to put down their weapons!"

The sharp stinging pain on his neck awakened Yang Xuanjing, and he shouted in a trembling voice: "Don't do anything randomly! Put down the knife."

Several personal soldiers stopped and had to slowly put the knife down. At this time, Yuchi Gong at the door of the tent was as fast as lightning. He picked up a knife from the ground, waved several swords, and screamed. Several personal soldiers were all separated, and a human skull rolled to Yang Xuanjing's feet, which scared Yang Xuanjing's legs trembled.

"Who are you?"

"Didn't I tell you?"

The young man smiled and said, "My surname is Li and my name is Shimin. In fact, you have seen him when I was ten years old."

Yang Xuanjing was frightened and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"It's very simple. Surrender to us. I will protect you from high officials and wealth and prosperity throughout your life. If you refuse, I will use your head to repay me."

Yang Xuanjing only felt it was incredible. Did he break into the tent and capture him? But everything in front of him was so real. At this time, hundreds of Yang Xuanjing's personal guards were crowded with Yang Xuanjing's personal guards, holding a battle knife in his hand, confronting Yuchi Gong fiercely, but no one dared to step forward.

At this moment, a report soldier separated everyone and reported loudly, "General, an army came from the north, about ten thousand people, and they have arrived two miles away from us."

Li Shimin sneered and said, "Yang Xuanjing, I will give you another last chance to let your soldiers surrender and serve us. I recommend you as the Duke of the State and give you wealth. Otherwise, today will be your death day next year, you can choose!"

Yang Xuanjing remembered that his son was killed innocently, and hatred suddenly surged up. He sighed, "It's Yang Xuan who is unkind, but I'm not unrighteous. I'm willing to surrender to Mr. Tang."

Li Shimin was overjoyed, "You order immediately!"

"Tell me my order, the three armies put down their weapons and surrender to the army of the Tang Duke."

...........

As Yang Xuanjing surrendered to Li Shimin, the east gate of Guanzhong opened, Li Yuan immediately returned to the army. A 150,000 army entered Guanzhong from Tongguan, occupied Guangtongcang, and advanced towards Chang'an. At the same time, the Dou brothers of Fufeng County reversed the defense and attacked the army and led their troops to attack Ji County. Yang Xuanbao and Yang Wei led 50,000 troops to fight against the Dou Kang army, but were attacked by Li Yuan's daughter Li Xiuning, who led 80,000 rebels from behind. Yang Xuangan's army was defeated, and Yang Xuanbao and Yang Wei led the remnants to retreat to Shiping County.

In Guanzhong, the great families of various families organized armed forces to occupy the county town to welcome Li Yuan into Guanzhong. In just three days, Weinan, Xinfeng, Gaoling, Fuping, Sanyuan, Huayuan, Yunyang, Jingyang, Tongguan, Shangyi, Xianxian, Lantian and Fengyi County responded to the uprising and changed the gates. The major wealthy families in Guanzhong had money and made great efforts. Killed the Yang family appointed by Yang Xuangan and raised the flag to welcome Li Yuan into the pass. The children of Guanlong nobles were excited and rushed to the gate to serve, which was in sharp contrast with the desertedness when Yang Xuangan entered Guanzhong.

Chang'an has become an isolated city. Only Yang Xuangan has led 50,000 troops to defend the city.

Yang Xuangan was already desperate. Yang Xuanjing's surrender made him feel cold. He locked himself in the study room. He had not seen anyone for a whole day. There was no light in the study room, and it was dark. Only Yang Xuangan sat alone in front of the window, holding a sword. This was the sword left to him by his father Yang Su, and it was also his only spiritual sustenance.

Holding this sword, he could feel that his father's spirit was still alive. At this time, he remembered his father's words, "Don't take Guanzhong, take Shandong as the foundation, and contact the Shandong gentry to fight against Guanlong."

Yang Xuangan sighed softly. His father's eyes were sharp and his ideas were correct, but how could he do it? In Shangluo County, is there any other way he can go besides taking Guanzhong?

He remembered his family again. Over the years, he had been protecting the interests of the legitimate son of the family. The legitimate son was clearly distinguished, and the legitimate son was more important than the legitimate son. He always thought that the basis for his seizing the world was the legitimate son of the family, but in the end, he was defeated by the legitimate son of the family. Yang Xuanjing, why did he betray him?

The anger and regret in Yang Xuangan's heart were burning at the same time. He should have listened to Zhang Ji's advice and deprived Yang Xuanjing of his military power with the fastest and most vigorous means. His kindness and indecisiveness eventually led to a disaster. The regret in his heart made Yang Xuangan almost spasm.

"Father!"

At this time, two sons appeared outside the door, and Yang Xuan sighed. These two sons were the only ones he could not let go.

"Come in!"

The door opened, Yang Jun and Yang Rong walked in. They were also worried. Unlike Yang Jun's high position and power, Yang Rong was very low-key in the past two years. He was deeply hit by his mother being driven back to the Zheng family by his father. He had no ability. He became the right commander of Yang Xuangan, and was actually one of the personal soldiers.

"Father, we have to think of a way out for ourselves." Yang Jun stepped forward and whispered.

Yang Xuangan nodded, "I know, if I am defeated, you brothers will go to Fengzhou! No matter what, he is your brother, there is no deep hatred between you. At least he can give you a wealth and make you live. This is the last little hope for your father."

Yang Jun bit his lip. He would rather die than surrender to Yang Yuanqing. He did not say anything, but quickly gave his brother a wink. Yang Rong stuttered: "Father... we can also surrender to Mr. Tang..."

"What did you say!"

Yang Xuangan was furious, and he suddenly stood up and cursed, "You rebellious son, you actually asked me to surrender to Li Yuan, seize my foundation, seize my Guanzhong, and kill my tribe members. Such deep hatred, you actually asked me to surrender, get out! I, Yang Xuangan, do not have a cowardly son like you."

Yang Rong also took the initiative and shouted: "Those who know the current affairs are heroes. The general situation in Guanzhong is hopeless. I asked the thirty generals, and everyone expressed their willingness to surrender. Why did my father insist on sailing against the current?"

Yang Xuangan was so angry that he drew his sword and slashed at Yang Rong, "You dare to disrupt our morale, I will kill you, the rebellious son!"

Yang Jun hugged his father's waist and shouted: "Second brother, go quickly!"

When Yang Rong thought of his mother, he looked at his father with great resentment, turned around and ran outward.

Yang Xuangan shook Yang Jun away. Seeing that Yang Rong had run away, he was so angry that he inserted his sword into the scabbard. He turned around and glared at his eldest son, "Do you want me to surrender too?"

Yang Jun was frightened and said hurriedly: "The child just wanted to persuade his father to cheer up and stabilize the morale of the army and prevent those who have ulterior motives from causing trouble while their father is away."

This sentence makes a little sense. Yang Xuangan nodded, hung his sword around his waist, walked quickly outside the study, Yang Jun stared at his father's desk, and slowly pulled open the drawer, while lying quietly in the drawer while communicating the gold medal in the army.
