Chapter 89 Palpitations

At night, at Chang'an Palace, Yang Jian, who was writing at his desk, stopped writing because he suddenly felt a palpitation. This feeling made him very uneasy and had not appeared for many years.

As he got up and walked back and forth, Yang Jian felt that he was thinking too much, he sorted out all kinds of thoughts again and thought about the current situation carefully.

The Zhou army crossed the Qinling Mountains along the Wuguan Road and actually broke into the Guanzhong territory. This was beyond his expectations and beyond everyone's expectations.

In order to prevent the Zhou army's method of siege of the sky thunder, Yang Jian allocated a large amount of manpower and material resources to repair various passes on Wuguan Road. As a result, it is now useless and the opponent is unstoppable. He thinks it should be a variant of siege of siege.

In recent years, the Zhou army in Shannan rarely used thunder. Is it because the other party did not have enough raw materials to make it? It is possible, but Yang Jian didn't think so. He judged that Yuwen Liang was hiding his weakness.

The secret recipe for the sky-blasting thunder has never been discovered. Yang Jian felt that Shannan should be accumulating quantity and using it at the critical moment.

What is the critical moment? Either Shannan was attacked by the Sui army and approached the city, or...it was now!

Thinking of this, Yang Jian felt a sense of powerlessness. This strange thing caused his ambition to be setbacks. It was originally a normal setback, but now the Zhou army in Shannan actually came, which was only about fifty miles away from Chang'an City!

When he heard the urgent report, Yang Jian felt angry and the carefully arranged defense line was easily broken by the Zhou army. He even wanted to lead the commander in person, but he soon came to his senses.

What did this lonely army want to do? What can they do?

What if the Zhou army attacked outside Chang'an City? Not to mention that there are a large number of defenders in Chang'an City, the surrounding garrisons can arrive within a few days. The lonely Zhou army has no second fate except being surrounded and annihilated.

The reason why the other party dares to take such a risk is because there are internal supporters in the city!

So he can't be in trouble. If the emperor personally commanded the army, he would give the inner demon an opportunity to take advantage of Chang'an, so he would stay and take charge and deal with those ghosts and monsters.

Who will be the insider? Many, even many people are likely, so Yang Jian decided to kill the wrong one and not let go.

What he wrote now is a list of people who may rebel. These people may be interested in Zhou, or dissatisfied with their own treatment after the founding of the New Dynasty, or speculation, or they may be trying to take revenge.

No matter who it is, I will not let you succeed!

In order to prevent someone from opening the door to treat thieves, Yang Jian has sent his confidants to guard the city gates of Chang'an. Anyone who trespassed will be killed. He also organized people to inspect the city wall to prevent someone from hollowing out a certain section of the city wall in advance to lay the sky thunder.

As for the defenders, he did not make any major adjustments.

When will the Zhou army cross the Qinling Mountains and approach Chang'an? Even the commander of the Zhou army himself is not sure, so they cannot agree on a specific time with the Chang'an's inner circle. If these inner circles want to get into the city defense, they have to wait.

When the Zhou army broke through Lantian Pass, Chang'an was shocked and strengthened the city defense according to common sense, then these people could naturally let some of the troops they controlled join the defenders, and then wait for the Zhou army to come to the city and wait for an opportunity to seize the gate.

Can't give them such a chance!

Yang Jian thought it very clearly that when the verdict is constantly hurt, although there is no evidence, it does not mean ignoring it. No matter whether you are an insider or not, as long as there is suspicion, I must be careful!

The court is stopped and the market is stopped. Whether during the day or at night, except for the imperial guards and patrol troops who maintain order, no one is allowed to appear near key places such as palaces, military camps, arsenals, and granaries. No matter who it is or what his identity is, he will be killed if he breaks the ban.

Even in other urban areas, more than three people are not allowed to travel in groups. No matter the powerful and powerful family, they have to stay at home without the will. Anyone who dares to violate the ban will be punished as a rebellion.

The palace was also very cautious. The queen Dugu personally directed the guards. All palace maids and eunuchs were not allowed to walk around at will. If there were any abnormal actions, they would be killed.

Yang Jian has made up his mind that even if he offended many people, he must strictly implement the ban, which is of great importance. If he is accidentally taken by his deserving, he will lead the Zhou army into the city, then their Yang family will suffer a catastrophe.

Therefore, the royal family has been mobilized and led troops to patrol the city. If there is any difference, you can take action first and then report. Even if it is proved that the wrong person was killed later, you would rather give generous pensions as compensation than be compatible at this time.

Thinking of this, Yang Jian looked at a name on the list, which was his brother Yang Zan, known as Yang Sanlang, and a stubborn donkey.

When the new dynasty was established, Yang Zan was named King Teng, but he had been having trouble with Yang Jian, blaming him for his ungratefulness in the Sui Dynasty, which made the family shame and made the world laugh.

His wife, Yuwen, is the daughter of Zhou Taizu. The Yuwen family's country was taken away, so naturally she felt resentful. She repeatedly cursed Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo and did not die well. Yang Jian asked Yang Zan to divorce his wife, but the other party just twisted her back.

Even though Yuwen was removed from the royal family's family list, Yang Zan still held the same side. He ignored the morality of the family banquet and forced Yuwen to the banquet, which made the scene extremely awkward.

A San, you are dedicated to the Yuwen family and must be one of the Zhou army's internal supporters, right?

But you are also from the Yang family! When the Zhou army enters the city, do you think you can survive? Will Yuchi Jiong let the Yang family go? It’s stupid!!

The five brothers of Yang Jian are the only ones living now, including Sanlang Yang Zan, Wulang Yang Shuang, and King of Guard Yang Shuang, now leading the army to fight in Shannan. In theory, the most reliable royal family in the city is Teng Yang Zan. As a result...

This younger brother made Yang Jian uneasy. If it were someone else, he would have killed him long ago, but how could his own younger brother do it?

Just in case, Yang Jian had sent the imperial guards to "invite" Yang Zan and his wife to house arrest, and all the people in his mansion were detained separately, so this hidden danger was suppressed, but what about the other ones?

All the powerful families and nobles were like those who were in trouble. They could support him, Yang Jian, as the emperor, but now if the situation is not good, they are very likely to turn against each other again, so the only ones who are reliable are the Yang family.

Yang Jian's second son, King Jin Yang Guang, is now in Bingzhou, the third son, King Qin Yang Jun, is now in Luozhou, and King Shu Yang Xiu is now in Yizhou. They all hold military power. Other royal families are in Chang'an, which is in charge of soldiers to defend against the ghosts and monsters in the city.

Prince Yang Yong led his troops to garrison Lantian. With the assistance of Gao Huang, the Duke of Bohai County, he would be as stable as Mount Tai. As long as reinforcements around Chang'an arrive in a few days, the Zhou army would have to retreat, and the inner guards in the city would not dare to have any other ideas.

There will be no problem!

Yang Jian thought so, and he made up his mind to clean Chang'an as soon as the Zhou army retreated. Not to mention the great prison, killing chickens and scaring monkeys is inevitable.
