Chapter 107 Right or wrong

Wuguan Road, Shangzhou Prefecture, the brigade of chariots and horses advanced southeast under the escort of the Zhou army. After the Zhou army invaded Chang'an, some people were "invited" to Shannan to "visit" and these people were one of them.

The marriage between the powerful and wealthy in Guanzhong is very common. Five people are found in them, and four of them are probably cornered relatives. The complex interests are entangled, making it difficult for the Zhou army guarding Chang'an to guard.

They took Chang'an with their internal support. Now that they have changed their offense and defense, they also have to be on guard against someone who is the Sui army's internal support. Chang'an City is very large and there are many residents, so it is hard to defend against.

How about a quick knife to cut the mess?

If this is done, it will force everyone to rebel. So after killing those who must be killed, Zhou Jun began to "mobilize" some families with sensitive status and take their families to evacuate to Shannan in batches.

Shangluo City several miles away to the east. Duke of Tang Li Yuan looked at the city in front of him, then looked at the Danshui flowing through the south of the city, turned around and walked towards the carriage next to him. There were three women sitting in the car, one of whom was older and had an extraordinary temperament.

"Mother, I should be resting in Shangluo tonight and heading south by boat tomorrow."

"Um."

Li Yuan's mother Dugu replied with a stern face, and the maid was silent, but his daughter-in-law Dou asked:

"Silang, why did you board the ship here? Didn't Wuguan Road always take the land route?"

"Walking on water can save time and effort, and you won't feel tired when you walk on land?"

Dugu's tone was not good. Since the Zhou army captured Chang'an and her sister Dugu Jialuo was assassinated, she has been in a bad mood. Even her daughter-in-law has not had a good face, but Dou was not scared by her mother-in-law's tone.

"I heard from Siro that his mother seemed to be seasick in Shannan back then, and his wife was worried that her mother was old."

"It's okay, you can stand it."

Dugu's face was slightly slower and he didn't say anything. The carriage had stopped. The convoy heading east met the grain transport team going out of the city and went west, so he had to stop and make way and only then could he continue to move forward after the passage was completed.

It was afternoon, and these grain transport convoys headed west and arrived at Li Yuan and his party's Luoyuan Post Station where they set off today, and they were so hurrying. It seemed that the Zhou army still had to defend Chang'an.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan couldn't help but feel sad. The scene from the night more than a month ago appeared in his mind again.

His aunt, uncle and cousin Yang Yong died that day. His aunt and uncle were assassinated in front of him. The Zhou army who entered the city then attacked the palace fiercely. Except for the royal family fighting to the death, most of the other imperial guards and guards finally put down their weapons and surrendered.

Among them is Li Yuan.

Before the palace was lost, Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo's bodies were transferred to a side hall, and the fire burned down everything. The lost Li Yuan and other guards were locked up for several days.

After the selection and identification, Li Yuan was released and returned home. His mother and wife, who were so anxious that they were crying with joy, but the days that followed were still very depressing, and they were under house arrest by Zhou Jun.

Li Yuan's mother, Dugu, was the fourth sister of Dugu Jialuo, the queen of Sui Kingdom. The Zhou army who entered the city wanted to start a massacre, but for a good reason, they had been afraid for nearly a month, and they passed the first level.

He was arranged to "stay in Anzhou, Shannan," which was nothing. Li Yuan's father, Li Bing, was once the general manager of Anzhou. The family lived in Anlu for several years without fear of being unacceptable to the local environment. The young Li Yuan was still enrolled in Anlu.

The climate, water and soil are all fine, Li Yuan is just worried about what will happen next.

The property in the mansion is in Guanzhong. Although there is a housekeeper who stayed in Chang'an to watch, the chaos is probably over. The mansion has no source of income, and the family will probably not be able to live easily in the next days.

The guards who accompanied Shannan were limited in number, and the accommodation conditions after arriving in Anlu would not be much better. This was still a trivial matter. Li Yuan was worried about what the court's attitude would be.

The court has been in a circle for six years and has become the original court again. Li Yuan has witnessed the cruel power struggle, and the bloody reality has surprised him.

When Emperor Tianyuan of Zhou was reigned, Li Yuan also entered the palace guards like other noble children. Yuwen Yun gave him a very bad feeling. If this person hadn't been too much, there wouldn't have happened later.

Yuwen Yun was assassinated and died, leaving behind an orphan and widowed mother. Yang Jian, as a relative of the foreigners, was in a situation like a beast: if he was a royal family vassal king or other powerful ministers, the young emperor would probably be undermined or even replaced, then the queen mother Yang Lihua and her family would inevitably be cleansed.

So Li Yuan's uncle Yang Jian first attacked, killed everyone, and finally replaced him and established the Sui Kingdom.

Then there were years of war. Now that the Zhou army has invaded Chang'an, the revenge Duke of Qi Yuwen Liang also killed the Yang family and several families. Who is right? Who is wrong?

It’s all Yuwen Yun’s fault!

Li Yuan thought so, if Yuwen Yun had not been so troubled that he had even died suddenly, Zhou State would not have undergone a huge change, which would have caused countless civil and military officials to kill each other for this.

His fourth uncle Li Zhang participated in Zhao Wang Yuwen Zhao's action against Yang Jian, but was reported by his nephew and ended up being in a different state of body and head. This kind of situation of relatives in the family slaughtering each other is common during the two years of great changes in the elephant.

Is Li Yuan’s fourth uncle wrong? Or is Li Yuan’s cousins ​​wrong? Who is right and who is wrong?

It’s all Yuwen Yun’s fault!

If there was no such great change, everyone would live a peaceful life, and the country of Zhou would be at its peak, and unification was just around the corner. After a few years, Emperor Tianyuan passed away, and the adult emperor (the prince) Yu Wen Chan succeeded to the throne, and his power would be smoothly transitioned. Li Yuan felt that his uncle and his family would not be forced into a desperate situation.

His uncle and aunt would probably be able to enjoy their old age. His cousin Yang Lihua steadily became the queen mother. His cousin Yang Yong successfully inherited the Duke of the State. His fourth uncle would not be beheaded, so there were so many troubles.

What's the result now?

"Shiro, what are you thinking?"

The voice pulled Li Yuan back from his reverie. When he turned around, he saw that his wife Dou approached him. Then he found that most of the grain transport teams had passed on the road and his team was about to set off.

"It's nothing. I walked past Wuguan Road with my father back then and remembered the past."

"Shiro, where does this valley lead to?"

Li Yuan looked in the direction pointed by Dou, but saw a river valley among the mountains in the north. The river water slowly moved south and poured into Danshui in front of Shangluo City.

"Ah, that's Laojun Valley. From here, you will walk north, namely Juyang County and Yiyang County in Shangzhou. Go north and follow other mountain valleys. You can cross the Qinling Mountains and enter Huashan County in Guanzhong."

"Huashan County? I remember that you can go east to Tongguan or Pujin."

"right."

"Then the Sui army can't follow..."

When Dou talked about the sound of recognizing the image, Li Yuan nodded silently, which was a recognition of his statement.

Wuguan Road does not simply span the Qinling Mountains east and west, and there are other passages to go elsewhere near Shangluo City halfway.

If you walk up the 100-mile mountain road from the northeast valley road of Shangluo City, you can reach the Lu family. You can take a boat there and follow the Luo River for hundreds of miles downstream, and then you can reach Luoyang. In the Laojunyu River Valley in front of you, there is an official road that can cross mountains and ridges northward to enter Huashan County, which is located in Guanzhong.

If we talk about military use, this north-south road is also very important. The Sui army would not have imagined it, and the Zhou army would not have imagined it.

Li Yuan was very moved by his wife's knowledge. Dou's mother, Yuwen, was the princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and her uncle was Emperor Wu of Zhou Yuwen Yong. Dou grew up in the palace since she was a child, and his knowledge was much better than ordinary ministers.

When Yuwen Yong married Ashina, the daughter of the Turkic Khan, as the queen. He was quite cold to the queen at the beginning. It is said that the young Dou family persuaded his uncle to "put the overall situation first", and the relationship between the emperor and the empress improved.

What kind of woman can have such knowledge? My wife!

Li Yuan was very proud to be able to marry such a woman, but he had not made any noise for several years of marriage. Seeing the constant chaotic times, if he had a few more worries, he would be a last resort.

The couple talked for a while, and the team began to move forward. Li Yuan helped Dou get on the car and rode his horse to advance with the team. After passing through the small river flowing out of Laojunyu, when he was about to enter the city, he saw an army camping outside the west of the city.

"Sure enough, the number of troops in Luoyang is to strengthen Laojunyu's defense..."

Li Yuan thought so, the team was getting closer and closer to the military camp. Although he was a little curious, he still didn't look around.

Their identities are both guests and prisoners. There will be no problem following the rules, but if there are small actions that make people notice, it is just causing trouble.

When people are under the roof, they have to bow their heads. Whether it is for themselves or their family, it is better to do less than more than more.

However, a sound of the pipa came, which made Li Yuan involuntarily follow the sound. It was not that the other party played like the sound of nature, but that it was...
