Chapter 501 Chaos Night
In the middle of Jinyang Palace and Taiyuan outer city, the right guard, who is responsible for the imperial guards' court, is stationed in the city.
Five thousand soldiers of the Right Guard had gathered together, but Sima Dekan, the general of the Right Guard, did not follow Yang Li's orders and immediately went to siege the soldiers of the Zuo Yiwei Yu Wenhua and the army. Sima Dekan was also from Guanlong, and his father was once an intermediate general in the Northern Zhou army. However, his father died early, and his widowed mother He was left with difficulty to raise him alone. [..com]
At the worst time, although Sima Dekan was young, he had no choice but to follow the butcher to kill pigs to maintain his life. Later, his mother, He and the monk Shi Can, a monk in a nearby temple, helped him to read and write. When he grew up, he joined the army and became a guard guard in the imperial guards. Later, he followed Yang Su, the most powerful Yang Su, to fight, and made many contributions. Later, he followed Yuwen Shu several times to fight, and was finally valued by Yang Guang as a general of the Shi Guard and guarding his left and right. With the help of the Yang family and the Yuwen family, coupled with the emperor's attention, he was able to continue to climb.
By now, he has become the General of the Right Guard, one of the twelve guards, and Duke of Jin. It can be said that all this today is completely a hand-operated move by the Emperor Yang Guang.
"General, the soldiers have gathered, please give me instructions!" After the generals gathered the troops, they came over and reported loudly.
Sima Dekan hunched, stood up, and picked up three letters in his hand. One of these two letters was a handwritten by the King of Liao Yang Lai, who asked him to lead troops to siege Yu Wenji immediately. The other two letters, one of which was a secret letter from Yang Wu, the former deputy general of the Black Iron Guard, told him that the emperor had woken up, and also issued an edict to pass the throne to the King of Yan, and established the eight ministers including Li Yuan as ministers to assist the King of Yan ascend the throne together. Now he asked Yang Wu to write to him in the hope that he could continue to be loyal to the emperor.
The last letter from Yu Wenji is written in a handwritten letter that is nothing more than how Yu Wen Shu cared about him back then. I hope he can now remember the relationship between him and help Yu Wen's family.
Sima Dekan hesitated with these three letters.
What hesitated was not because of the emperor's awakening or the old favor of the Yuwen family who helped him back then. Over the years, he has climbed up step by step, from the bottom to this position, and he deeply understood the hardships of the road to power. What really made him hesitate was the change of the situation. Since Huang Cui woke up, since Li Yuan and others received the edict, the accident was full of variables. The dispute over the throne was bloody and cruel. He would smash it to pieces with one wrong step, and he could not bear to think too much.
"General, the operation has begun, so please give an order!" The general next to him reminded with concern. If you miss the big event tonight, you will not be able to explain it at that time.
After hesitating for a long time, Sima Dekan said in a deep voice, "Send orders to close the barracks, everyone stays in the barracks and waits for the next order. Without the general's orders, no one is allowed to leave the camp. Those who violate the orders will be killed!" After saying these cold words, Sima returned to the house with his precious sword and left the generals looking at each other, but no one dared to disobey them.
Pei Xingyan was still with the King of Liao in the Black Clothing Iron Guard Camp. He sent his guard captain to send troops to gather in Xiande Hall. The guard captain had just arrived at the camp but found that the Black Clothing Iron Guard Camp was in chaos at this time.
In the barracks, except for the soldiers on duty outside, the rest of the soldiers had been divided into two factions, facing each other and attacking each other. The guard captain clearly found that the one on the left was led by Yang Wu, the commander of the former black-clothed iron guard. At this time, those standing beside him were all trusted generals of the former black-clothed iron guard. On the contrary, the one on the right barely resisted were the soldiers and horses commanded by the generals who were appointed by Pei Xingyan as the commander of the black-clothed iron guard.
"Your Majesty the Emperor has woken up. Your Majesty has an order. King Yang Lai of Liao planned to rebel and rebel, and ordered me to wipe out the rebels of Yang Lai. All the brothers in the black-clothed iron guards will listen. As long as you attack Pei Xingyan and other rebels together at this time, your Majesty will not blame you. If you kill the rebels, then your Majesty will reward you with merits. Brothers, let's go together!" Yang Wu held a big bow, and there was always someone on the opposite side. He shot and shouted loudly. Pei Xingyan, who could not resist for a while, was even more panicked, and he retreated more and more in the battle.
"Brothers, don't listen to Yang Wuhu's words. Your Majesty's fainting and awakens after several months. How could he wake up suddenly now? What's more, the King of Liao is Your Majesty's only prince now. Even if Your Majesty wakes up, he will pass the throne to Your Highness. How could he say that Your Highness rebelled? The current situation is clearly that Yang Wu has intervened Na Yu Culture and others to rebel. Brothers, stand by side. Hold on for a while, Your Highness's reinforcements will arrive." As soon as the general finished speaking, he heard only the sound of horse hooves coming from outside.
"Our reinforcements have arrived. Brothers, come together to kill Yang Ni, and make meritorious rewards!" The general excitedly carried his long halberd forward.
Suddenly an arrow flew to the general's eyebrows like lightning. The general's eyes fell down with disbelief. In the aftermath, he saw that the army had arrived on horseback. Seeing that Kai Zao was the Xiaoguo Army of the Zuo Beiyi Mansion.
But he clearly remembered that Li Jiancheng and his father Li Yuan from Xiaoguo Camp had already defected to the King of Liao, why did he attack him now?
Li Jiancheng arrived with five thousand men and joined the second brother Shimin's father-in-law Yang Wu and other generals. For a moment, he was like cutting melons and vegetables. Although the black-clothed iron guards were the strongest soldiers in the army, these people were not the former black-clothed iron guards. They were just recruited from the army behind Taiyuan City. In the chaos, they lost their generals and commanders. They could no longer support them before and kept retreating. They were attacked by Li Jiancheng for a while and immediately completely disintegrated and fled everywhere.
It seemed outside the hall, Pei Xingyan led his black-clad iron guards to directly kill the two brothers Yuwen Chengji. The two sides had disagreements and fought in a regiment. The soldiers and horses on both sides were equal, and the elites were similar. In the palace, there were no heavy weapons, and there were not even war horses. These guard soldiers in gorgeous armor were dressed in shining bright light armor, with long shields as walls, swords as snow, and spears as forests.
Pei Xingyan picked up several Zuoyi Guard soldiers in the horse spear, and soon he killed him in front of the brothers Yuwen Chengji. However, the brothers Yuwen Chengji were not panicked and rushed forward with the spears. The two sides fought back and forth. Pei Xingyan won the courage, but the brothers Yuwen won the tacit understanding, and the winner was hard to tell for a moment.
The Liao King Yang Lai, who was watching the battle behind, had not seen Sima Dekan's right guards and Li Jiancheng's Xiaoguo army arrived. He also felt a strange feeling in his heart. Looking at the bloody soldiers fighting in front of the hall, he hurriedly took out a golden arrow with his name engraved. You can quickly hold this arrow outside the palace city and let Yu Su, Yu Rou, Yu Hui and Yu Xi immediately lead 20,000 people into the palace to clear out the rebellion."
Yu Su and the other four were all the sons of Yu Shiji. They were both civil officials and did not command troops. However, they were all responsible for contact outside the palace tonight. As long as the command arrow was passed to them, they could immediately move in quickly.
The lieutenant led a team of people and horses with golden arrows and had just left Xiande Hall. After turning a few palace gates, a group of people suddenly came out of the slanting stalker. The first general, more than meter tall, was a red charcoal fire dragon horse, and a powerful unpopular weapon in his hand, called Jin Keng.
The horse was like a dragon and a tiger. A flash of lightning was running towards him. Before the lieutenant could react, he was stabbed into the horse by Yuwen Chengdu. A soldier on the side had already found Yang Lai's arrow from the lieutenant.
Yuwen Chengdu easily grabbed the command arrow, but there was not much smile on the face of Jinshe. He nodded, held the blood-dropped phoenix wings and pointed to the direction of the main hall, without saying a word, and took the lead.
The soldiers arrived at the entrance of the main hall. In front of the hall, the two brothers of Yuwen Chengji and Pei Xingyan were fighting with each other. Yuwen Chengdu waved his clang and pointed to "Kill!" The order was simple but powerful. The soldiers behind him rode their horses and spears straight forward.
Hesitating for a sharp arrow, Yuwen Chengdu quickly cut open the fighting horses on the battlefield with his men and horses, and took his men and horses straight for Yang Lai and others. Yang Lai and others there had long seen that the situation was not good. They did not wait for reinforcements, but waited for the general of Tianbao first. For a while, they rode their horses and rushed out of the palace city desperately.
Yuwen Chengdu did not fight against those who left behind the rear, and waved his phoenix wings and asked Jin Keng to fight for a bloody path, chasing him reluctantly.
Yang Lai was as anxious as a dog that was stranded. He never expected that everything would suddenly turn out like this. On the horse, he ran wildly, while following the guard's persuasion, he abandoned the dazzling armor and helmets on his body, and immediately changed into an ordinary small school armor.
After passing through the numerous palace gates, he finally arrived outside the palace gates across the city. However, he was shocked to find that outside the palace wall was even more chaotic at this time. In the dark night, countless torches were shaking around, and countless soldiers were running around and chasing. Yang Li's first impression when he saw this scene was that Li Yuan did not defend the city, and let other people outside the city rush into the city.
But just a quick glance, he had already seen that there were many soldiers guarding him in the fire. Looking around, the general guarding the general under the fire was Li Yuan, Duke of Tang.
If you look closely, the troops and horses that were constantly besieging themselves were the armor banner of the Hedong Army.
Yang Lai felt a mouthful of blood surge into his throat, and his throat became sweet, but he was already shocked and vomited blood.
Seeing this scene, Pei Yun and others, who were all soldier-like, also understood completely. They were all fooled by the old fox Li Yuan.
"Your Highness, you can no longer stay in Taiyuan City. The most important thing now is to leave the city immediately, join Pei Renji, Yang Yichen and other generals, and lead troops to counterattack Li Yuan. There is still a glimmer of hope." Although Pei Yun said this, he also understood in his heart that Li Yuan, the old fox, had not moved. Since he had taken action, how could he have no other arrangements? Now that they drove out of the city, I am afraid that Pei Renji and his army would be in danger.
Yang Lai's face was as white as paper. At this time, his mind was already in chaos. He nodded and agreed to leave the city. But before leaving, he did not forget to say to Shiwei beside him, "Where is Li Yuan's third daughter Li Xiuning? Where is she?" Now his heart was filled with anger after betrayal. He could not do what to do with Li Yuan for the time being, but he just wanted to immediately pull Li Yuan's daughter and throw it to the soldiers and dirty it.
The guard searched around for a long time and said hurriedly, "I'm afraid I'm still in the palace now. I'm leaving in a panic and didn't even bring it together."
Yang Lai also sent someone to bring him, but Xiao Yu said anxiously, "Your Highness, time is tight, so don't care about a woman anymore. Just wait for the city we left to assemble a large army and then counterattack Li Yuan. When Li Yuan is defeated, every woman in the Li family will be left to His Highness to deal with it."
Yang Lai looked at Li Yuan's soldiers and horses, and was also panicked. He hurriedly gathered some of the soldiers and horses, and took the troops to the north of the city like a gust of wind. Li Yuan's soldiers and horses desperately intercepted them, but Yang Lai and others were also trapped beasts and were very fierce in their hearts. Yuwen Chengdu behind finally gathered two brothers and rushed to the west gate with Zuo Yiwei's soldiers.
Although Li Yuan's Hedong soldiers were combined, there were more than 100,000 new soldiers from various places and recruited, Li Shimin had already taken most of them out of the city before.
At this time, Li Yuan brought another 40,000 people to attack Yang Lai's troops outside the palace, and there were not many troops left behind in each city gate.
Yang Lai attacked the north gate, Yuwen Chengdu attacked the west gate. Before Li Yuan's reinforcements arrived, the two troops had already broken through the gate and left the city. When Yang Lai arrived at the Hebei Army Camp in the north of the city, it had become an empty camp. The empty camp was full of fire, and all the logistics food and grass were burned to Yijin. However, Li Shimin took advantage of Pei Renji to attack Wei Wensheng's camp and set fire to the Hebei Army Camp.
When Yang Lai and others arrived in front of the Guanxi Army camp, the place had already become a melee. Previously, Pei Renji gathered nearly 200,000 troops outside the city and attacked more than 100,000 troops from Wei Wensheng Guanlong Group.
Although Wei Wensheng had few people, he was prepared for it. Pei Renji failed to attack and attacked hard. The two sides fought together, and there were heavy casualties in the dark. When the two teams were both injured, Li Shimin, who was supposed to attack Wang Shichong, joined forces with Wang Shichong to fight 150,000 troops and suddenly broke out from both sides.
Outside Taiyuan City, by the Jinshui River, the mountains and fields were filled with fire, and everything I heard was full of screams of tears. The radius of dozens of miles was like a ghost realm, with screams and wailing everywhere, and horses neighing and people howling.
Standing by the Jinshui River, Yang Lai was completely shocked. Seeing this extremely chaotic battlefield by the Jinshui River, he understood that he had lost, completely lost. At this time, not to mention Li Yuan who gathered a large army to counterattack Taiyuan City, it would be even more difficult to find Pei Renji and others.
The three brothers of Yuwen Chengdu who rushed out of the city on the other side were also shocked. Even Yuwen Chengdu, who had always been extremely calm and had no feelings of joy and anger, couldn't help but shrink his pupils, and a little panic appeared in his eyes.
The world is in chaos!!!
