Chapter 0023: Go to Hancheng
Yiyang, at the beginning of Kaihuang, Yiyang County was abolished and became Yiyang County, which belonged to Henan County. At that time, the Yang family suggested that Yang Xuangan attack Hongnong. If he could not conquer it, he should occupy Yiyang. This only shows that the army in Yiyang City was sparse and the defense was weak. Unfortunately, Yang Xuangan did not have time to capture Yiyang, and was blocked by Yuwen Shu in Huangtianyuan.
"I'm afraid Hancheng will have a hard time." Yang Ruoxi did not object to Li Yu.
Hundreds of thousands of troops led by Yuwen Shu and other generals have gathered around Luoyang. In such a small place, if one is not careful, these hundreds of rebels will surely be discovered and they will surely die.
"Don't worry, don't we have people?" Li Yu glanced at the carriage not far away, a hint of pride appeared on his lips, and said: "Although Hancheng belongs to Fengyi County, our governor is different. He is a royal family member. For this reason, the governor of Hancheng dare not do anything to him. He can only open the city gate respectfully. Moreover, to the east is Mianchi, Xin'an Posthouse, and then Luoyang. If we go south to Hancheng, we can also confuse the enemy a little ."
Yang Ruoxi nodded, a hint of fatigue appearing on her face.
Li Yu did not speak. Yang Ruoxi was undoubtedly strong. Not only did she follow the army, but she also did not ask about Yang Xuangan's ending. Everyone knew that if there were really pursuers thousands of miles away, it meant that Yang Xuangan's ending was not good. But Yang Ruoxi did not even ask, but hid the sadness in her heart.
"Sir Governor, we will be able to reach Hancheng in two hours. We will need your cooperation then." Li Yu drove his warhorse to Yang Zhiji's carriage and said with a smile.
"Rebel, forget it." Yang Zhiji's face was gloomy. He sat cross-legged in the middle of the carriage and glared at Li Yu viciously. However, the two daughters beside him showed fear on their faces.
"Governor Yang, don't forget. Now that you are with us, even if you are not a rebel, you are a rebel. Your youngest son is in the carriage behind. Tsk tsk, I heard that Governor Yang has only one son. If anything goes wrong, I wonder if the governor will have the face to meet the ancestors of the Yang family in the afterlife."
"You." Yang Zhiji's face darkened, and he couldn't help but glare at Li Yu. He felt very aggrieved because he only had one son, Yang Daoxuan. This time, even his only son was captured by Li Yu, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.
"Sir Yang, don't worry. The Duke of Chu has been defeated and may even have died in the battle. We are just trying to survive. Once we get to a safe place, Li Yu will naturally release your family. At this time, you can give us a ride. As long as we handle it well, the world will not know about this, right?" Li Yu said with a smile.
"No matter how fair your excuses are, they can't hide the fact that you are rebellious." Yang Zhiji said with a cold snort.
"If you don't cooperate, don't blame me. Hehe, even if we die, I'm afraid that we brothers will enjoy ourselves before we die. By then, not only will the governor die and his family be wiped out, but the whole world will know what happened to your family." Li Yu swept his eyes over Yang Zhiji's two daughters, scaring them so much that they screamed.
"You, although Li Zixiong is a rebellious person, he is an upright person. How could he have a son like you?" Yang Zhiji couldn't help but glare at Li Yu.
Li Yu burst into laughter when he heard this. He knew that Yang Zhiji had agreed to his suggestion. Everyone has selfish motives, and Yang Zhiji is also selfish. His selfish motive is his son. Unfortunately, Yang Zhiji was too naive and thought that the matter was over. In fact, there was a first time and a second time. After passing Hancheng, things will not be so simple.
"Let's go to Hancheng." Li Yu turned his horse's head and urged everyone to go to Hancheng.
Outside Hancheng, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and a cloud of dust rose into the sky. Hundreds of cavalrymen were galloping over, escorting two carriages. Above Hancheng, the soldiers guarding the city had already opened the city gate.
"His Royal Highness Prince Cai has arrived, why don't you open the city gate?" Li Yu shouted as he ran over with a sword in hand . Li Gu and others behind him just quietly guarded the carriage, like guards.
"King Cai?" The soldiers on the city wall did not dare to neglect it and quickly informed the county magistrate and the county lieutenant. They did not make any defense, because the soldiers under the city were wearing armor, with a resolute look, and standing there on war horses, which put great pressure on everyone. This was definitely not a rebel.
"There is the governor below the city. Your humble servant, Hancheng Magistrate Zheng Yuanwu, is here to greet you." A middle-aged man had appeared on the city wall at some point. He was none other than Hancheng Magistrate Zheng Yuanwu, a member of a branch of the Xingyang Zheng family. He was the county magistrate in Hancheng, and beside him were the Hancheng County Magistrate and the County Lieutenant.
The door opened. Yang Zhiji looked unhappy. He stood on the carriage and looked at Li Yu in front of him with angry eyes. Then he bowed and said, "Yang Zhiji greets you all. I have resigned and am going to Jiangnan. Please open the city gate when passing by this precious place."
"Ah, it's really His Royal Highness Prince Cai." Zheng Yuanwu had met Yang Zhiji before. Seeing the other party's appearance, he was delighted and quickly said to the county magistrate and county lieutenant beside him: "It's really His Royal Highness Prince Cai. Come on, follow me to greet him." Then he walked towards the city.
"Sir, why did His Royal Highness Prince Cai resign?" the county magistrate couldn't help but ask.
" He is from the royal family, and he doesn't even care about the position of a prefect. How can a prefect have the prestige of the King of Cai? Look at the guards around him. Tsk tsk, the princes of the royal family are different from us!" Zheng Yuanwu couldn't help but say. There was a lot of envy in his words.
"That's right. Look at the guards around His Royal Highness Prince Cai. They are very impressive. They are veterans of the battlefield. If they want to attack the city, they can capture Hancheng in one round." The county lieutenant couldn't help but admire. He was also a person who had gone up the mountain to suppress bandits, so he naturally recognized that the soldiers around Yang Zhiji were extraordinary.
Li Yu rode his warhorse back to the carriage, and watched the gate of Hancheng slowly open before he said to Yang Zhiji: "Sir, you'd better stay in the carriage. Let me handle the things outside!" Who knows if Yang Zhiji's brain will be out of control, what if he reveals his identity! If something happens at this time, it will be bad. He is not afraid of fighting, but he is worried about the 400 elite soldiers around him. Losing one is a huge loss for him.
"Humph!" Yang Zhiji snorted coldly, shook his sleeves, and had no choice but to get into the carriage. Facing a soldier like Li Yu, Yang Zhiji had no other options. Fortunately, Yang Xuangan did not use Li Yu, otherwise, Yang Xuangan would have entered Guanzhong by now.
