The Rise of The Mythical Dragon

Chang'an, Duke's Mansion of Tang Dynasty

In the meeting hall at this time, Li Yuan was holding a report in his hand and was so excited that his hands were trembling slightly as he read it.

The counselors and generals standing in the hall looked at it with confusion on their faces, wondering what exactly was written in the report in the hands of Duke Tang.

A few days ago, the military report came in, saying that Yu Wenhuaji did not divide his troops into Jinyang, but instead attacked Tongguan with hundreds of thousands of troops.

This incident shocked many people, especially since Tongguan only has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, so it may not be possible to defend it.

In addition, the reinforcements have been delayed, and what everyone is thinking now is, has Tongguan been lost?

But looking at Li Yuan's expression that didn't look like him, no matter how many doubts he had in his heart, he could only wait slowly.

I saw Li Yuan put the report in his hand on the table and looked at everyone with shining eyes.

"Victory at Tongguan!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone below was stunned for a moment, and then the expressions on their faces became wonderful.

"Congratulations to Mr. Tang!"

Along with a chorus of congratulations, Li Yuan's face was suddenly filled with a smile.

"Li Yang led his army thousands of miles to help and defeated Yuwen Chengdu in one fell swoop!"

While everyone was amazed, they also became interested in Li Yang, the daughter of Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Dynasty.

It is true that Li Yang has been leading troops abroad in the past few years, but most of them have been sending troops to suppress bandits and stabilize the rear. It is really incredible that hundreds of thousands of troops were suddenly defeated.

Liu Wenjing was stunned for a moment, then said: "It is really gratifying that your noble lady has such power, but when General Li left, he only had a few thousand soldiers and horses..."

Liu Wenjing didn't say much, but she was obviously very curious about this matter.

Li Yuan smiled slightly and said, "There is a fierce general in Li Yang's army. He is Yuanba's master, General Long Ao."

Everyone was stunned, obviously they had rarely heard of this name, but thinking about the Tang Dynasty Duke Yuanba, he was a fierce man in the world, and someone who could teach such a skill must not be far behind.

But what everyone didn't know at this time was that Long Ao descended from the sky on a white tiger and defeated the Sui army in one sentence.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan smiled and said: "In this battle, General Long killed Yu Wenhuaji in one fell swoop. Hundreds of thousands of troops were destroyed in an instant. The Sui Dynasty no longer had the energy to deal with us."

Everyone was shocked when they heard that Long Ao killed Yu Wenhuaji in one fell swoop.

Liu Wenjing stepped forward and said, "Tang Gong! Is this Yuwen Chengdu?"

Li Yuan was slightly stunned, and then said: "The report said that this person escaped by luck."

Liu Wenjing's face was filled with joy, and she bowed and said: "Congratulations to Mr. Tang, this is a happy event!"

Li Yuan's face was full of confusion. Could it be a good thing that this person ran away? Looking at Liu Wenjing, Li Yuan said, "Tell me about it."

After coughing softly, Liu Wenjing said: "The Sui Dynasty suffered too many losses in this battle, and Yu Wenhua and his body died. Yu Wen Chengdu must be resentful. But after the defeat, someone needs to be punished. This Yu Wen Chengdu will be The first choice among them, if Yang Guang is punished, I am afraid that it will arouse Yuwen Chengdu's rebellious heart, and Yang Guang will definitely be threatened. "

Hearing this, Li Yuan was slightly startled, and subconsciously turned his head to look to the other side.

When everyone saw this, they looked over and saw a man kneeling quietly on the side of Mr. Tang.

Everyone was curious but did not dare to say anything because the person in front of them was no ordinary person.

"National Preceptor, do you see?"

Yuan Tiangang slowly opened his eyes and glanced at Liu Wenjing, and then said: "Master Liu is right, this matter is very likely to happen, but what Pindao wants to say is another matter."

Li Yuan was stunned and said: "The Imperial Master made it clear."

"Whoever wins Long Ao wins the world."

As soon as the words fell, everyone was in an uproar. Liu Wenjing, who had just received the approval of the national master, also had a happy face. When she heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned.

This Long Ao is really so powerful! ?

Li Yuan's eyes flashed and he asked: "The Imperial Master has seen Long Ao?"

Yuan Tiangang shook his head and thought to himself: "I came from the same sect as my master. Although I don't know Long Ao's true identity, his status in the Dragon Palace is definitely not low."

Thinking of this, Yuan Tiangang said: "This person is blessed with great fortune. If he can be recruited under his command, it will be of great benefit to his future hegemony."

A look of excitement flashed across Li Yuan's face, and then he cupped his hands and said, "I understand, Imperial Master, don't worry, I, the Duke of Tang, will treat you with great courtesy."

…

Jiangdu, Sui Palace.

Throw the fish food in your hand into the pond, and soon a group of fish start to fight for it crazily.

Yang Guang looked at the scenery in the pool with a gloomy expression, but he had no intention of relaxing in his heart.

At this moment, a chamberlain walked in quickly, holding a military report in both hands, his body trembling slightly.

Yang Guang's face darkened, he took the military newspaper, opened it, glanced at it and roared angrily.

"Idiot! Idiot!"

As he spoke, he threw out the military newspaper in his hand.

In the garden, the chamberlains and maids knelt on the ground. Yang Guang took a deep breath and said helplessly: "Summon Yang Linxuan over."

The chamberlain responded in a low voice and hurriedly retreated.

With an inexplicable cold light shining in his eyes, Yang Guang felt that he was helpless in doing things, and there were people who were against him everywhere.

Yang Lin had disbanded his troops and returned to his fields since the unification of the Sui Dynasty. Even though the chaos in the Sui Dynasty continued, Yang Guang refused to use this person.

Yang Lin is a member of the same clan. Even Yang Guang used to call him "uncle emperor". His ability to command troops is unparalleled. If he had military power, he would be a greater threat to him than the rebels outside.

Therefore, Yang Guang has always been very afraid of this person, but now he has no need to use him.

Yu Wenhuaji was defeated and killed, and hundreds of thousands of troops were strangled to death. Yuwen Chengdu was the first warrior of the Sui Dynasty who he personally entrusted, but now he fled back to Jiangdu with thousands of people.

Wang Shichong originally had high hopes for him, but who knew that after forcing Pei Renji away, the cavalry rebelled against the Sui Dynasty and occupied the capital Luoyang, blocking him from the capital.

Everyone has betrayed him, and now only Yang Lin can rely on him.

Yang Guang didn't wait too long, but after a while, Yang Lin walked in wearing regular clothes.

Seeing Yang Lin's old but still energetic state, Yang Guang tried his best to squeeze out a smile on his face.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

Just as Yang Lin was about to kneel on the ground, a pair of hands stopped him. His face was full of surprise as he looked at Yang Guang who was helping him up.

"His Majesty……"

Yang Guang said with a smile on his face: "Uncle Huang is very polite. Now that he is too old, it is better not to practice these vulgar etiquette."

Yang Lin's heart moved, and a gleam of light flashed deep in his eyes, but Yang Guang did not notice it.

After Yang Lin thanked him, he asked: "What is the urgent matter that your Majesty has to recruit old ministers?"

After more than ten years of thanking guests behind closed doors, since the new emperor ascended the throne, Yang Guang has not used him even in two eastern expeditions, which shows that Yang Guang is afraid of him.

It is a lie to say that there is no gap in Yang Lin's heart, but Yang Lin has just looked away.

Upon hearing Yang Lin's inquiry, Yang Guang handed over the military report in his hand and said, "Uncle Emperor, read it yourself."

A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. Yang Lin took the military newspaper and opened it. His expression changed drastically after just one glance.

"Tongguan was defeated!?"

After receiving Wang Shichong's military report before, I felt that things were difficult to change. Tongguan was the top priority of the Sui Dynasty. If Tongguan was captured and Guanzhong was occupied, even if the Sui Dynasty lost this land south of the Yangtze River, there would still be a chance for a comeback.

But now it has failed, which means that Sui Dynasty has not many retreat options.

Looking at Yang Lin's appearance, Yang Guang knew that Yang Lin had realized the seriousness of the problem and could only say: "Uncle Huang, the Sui Dynasty is currently besieged on all sides. Please lead the troops to save the Sui Dynasty from fire and water. !”
