The first thousand one hundred and ninety-eight chapters
The mutiny in Mawei Post was undoubtedly a earth-shaking earthquake for the Fourth Army of Beiya, which should have been the duty of loyalty to the Lord and Guard. Because the army was short of food, or was unwilling to leave their families and flee west to Shuzhong, thousands of soldiers were fleeing in just three or four days. In the subsequent turmoil, the soldiers in the army coerced Chen Xuanli to take the lead, forcing Yang Yuyao to commit suicide, and then after the arrival of Shuofang and Anbei army, they killed Yang Guozhong angrily, and finally expressed their anger.
But when Du Shiyi and Guo Ziyi led the army to Chang'an to quell the rebellion, Chen Xuanli led the four northern yamen troops to stay at Mawei Post to reorganize the army and escorted the dragon and phoenix grandsons back to Chang'an, the number of people not only did not increase, but fled no less than thousands. Some were worried that the emperor would settle the responsibility of the mutiny, some were dissatisfied with the responsibility of the emperor's imperial guards, and they would rather go to Shuofang or even Anbei to the army, while others took advantage of this chaotic world to plan to do some business without capital... In short, when they finally returned to Chang'an, this imperial guard, which had been carefully built by many emperors, not only had its troops sharply reduced, but also had completely lost its military spirit.
Among the four Beiya Armys in history, only more than a thousand people finally followed Li Longji to Bashu, and only more than a hundred people followed Li Heng to Lingwu, and all the others fled on the way. Although the general trend has been fundamentally reversed, although there are still more than ten thousand people left in the North Ya Army, what will happen if the imperial guards lost the trust of the emperor? Not to mention that the soldiers at the bottom are worried about the future, the generals and schoolmen above also feel that the career is hopeless. Because of this, when the palace secretly sent a generous reward several times, and promised to be the past without refusing to the past, they finally concealed Chen Xuanli and won over a group of soldiers or two.
Now, the two groups of soldiers and horses, without having enough time to react, left the palace and drove directly into Pingkangfang and Xuanyangfang adjacent to the east city and facing each other from north to south.
Two murderous soldiers suddenly appeared in the city in broad daylight, causing an uproar. Especially when someone discovered that the imperial guards surrounded the Cuizhai in Pingkangfang and Duzhai in Xuanyangfang, there were countless people hurriedly reporting the news from all directions. When things developed to this point, everyone realized that the world might change again in Chang'an City.
"General, do you really want to rush in?"
In front of Du's house, General Zuo Yulin Wei Guang looked around and saw the faces and eyes of many soldiers showing fear. He couldn't help but spit out and said viciously: "This Tang Dynasty is Your Majesty's Tang Dynasty. Don't forget that you have already given me a large reward. At this time, if you advance but not retreat, you dare to hesitate, kill Wuxuan to break the door for me."
With Wei Guang's encouragement, several soldiers finally plucked up the courage to rush forward and smashed the door of Du's house with a big axe in their hands. The banging sound seemed to be in everyone's heart. Some people couldn't bear to turn their heads away, but more people licked their lips, thinking in their hearts that if they really captured this place later, they could find how many gold, silver and treasures they could get from it. After all, Du Shiyi has been out of town for many years, and he is a very good at managing the business in the rumors. Needless to say, the wealth in the family is rich.
However, for Wei Guang, who was ordered to capture Du's house today, what he felt was worried about at this moment.
All he could control was more than 500 direct troops, and the same was true for Liu An, who went to Cui's house on the other side of Pingkangfang. He captured this kind of residence in Chang'an and was built by the Ministry of Works. Such a little troops must be enough. However, in such an emergency, no one answered or scolded him, as quiet as if there was no one there, and he really couldn't feel at ease. You know, this time he could hold his head in his hand. If Li Longji had not given the temptation of a town's governor, if he hadn't known that Du Youlin was here, he would never have taken this trip.
Just now he told his subordinates that there is advancement but no retreat, and now is not the time to hesitate.
"I'm still standing there. If four are not enough, eight are going to go. I don't believe that this door is made of stone. I'll climb over the wall and go in."
With his order, someone finally joined in with a loud shout. The soldiers who had just smashed the door with an axe in the first round came back panting and wiping their sweat while watching their companions swing their axes and smashing them on the door, watching a person raising a ladder and climbing over the wall. But as the first person got on the wall, the action suddenly froze.
"General, there seems to be no one inside"
If only one person said this, Wei Guang would definitely scold him angrily, but as several people who had climbed to the wall said this, his heart unknowingly sank. No one in the Du family? Did they all retreat to the same defense, or did they have learned that the news was hidden? If it was the former, then after a strong attack, they would always find clues, but if it was the latter...
Wei Guang didn't dare to think about that possibility anymore, and he curled his mind and shouted loudly: "It is impossible that your Majesty ordered the Gao Da General to send an order to Du Youlin, and let him send troops to the Sixteen Kings' House to garrison him and let him go home to reunite with his father. Someone had seen him with his own eyes before. It was impossible that no one would be left. He would definitely be a fraud. Attack and take him down."
However, as soon as the order to attack was issued, he heard the sound of killing. He shivered and looked around in a daze. Seeing that the soldiers under his command were all pale and not much better than him, he was immediately completely confused. The soldiers on the wall stood high and looked far away, and someone suddenly shouted loudly: "It's Anbei Forward Camp, and the horse army from Anbei Forward Camp rushed over."
That night during the Chang'an rescue battle, the imperial guards were still staying in Mawei Post to guard the dragon sons and phoenix grandsons, and did not witness the tragic battle with their own eyes. But afterwards, the scene of corpses everywhere, they had heard many officials and civilians in Chang'an City mention it. The most famous joke was Azle and the Forward Camp who killed 1,000 enemies and destroyed 800 themselves. Although this was in the streets of Chang'an City, not the plains outside Chang'an City, he could not boost morale at all, and even his only courage disappeared without a trace. He only knew that this time the incident was exposed.
"Don't be afraid of them when you meet, when you meet on a narrow road, the brave will win." Wei Guang shouted at the top of his lungs, but when he saw countless cowardly and frightened faces, he realized that this was of no use at all, so he could only change his words and said in a hurry, "This is Chang'an, not other places, their actions are like rebellion..."
However, before he finished speaking, he heard a loud shout from the other side, as if it was an explosion in his ear: "As an imperial guard, you dare to privately surround the Du Prime Minister's residence. Are you trying to rebel and cause trouble for your family? You didn't quickly throw down your weapons and kneel down to surrender."
A big hat was suddenly pulled down like this, and then it was a disaster for Yan's family. Not only did Wei Guang's face change drastically, but the soldiers who had just barely held swords and guns suddenly disappeared. Seeing a cavalryman standing out with a large flag from the Anbei Forefront Camp, he had a bright red tassel tied on his helmet. It was Azle himself, and there was a riot in the imperial guards. With a bang, someone threw the weapon on the ground, this movement spread rapidly. In an instant, many people threw the weapon like they threw away the hot potato, and then knelt down.
Facing this scene, although Wei Guang knew that the situation was hopeless, Li Longji had revealed something to him when he went to the left and right Yintai Gate to inspect the imperial guards. Therefore, even with the help of none of them, he still shouted loudly: "Don't be fooled by him. Your Majesty is in the house of the Sixteen Kings at this moment. We are on your order to capture the criminals."
"The King Yong and the King of Xiangcheng were assassinated by Your Majesty, plotting a rebellion and rebellion, and he committed suicide. Your Majesty is now seriously injured. How could he be sought after you any order to capture the inmates, take down Wei Guang, and send him to the Censorate for investigation."
King Yong Li and King Xiangcheng Li Yixing assassinate the emperor? And the father and son were all dead? Wei Guang was shocked by the news. Even though none of his soldiers supported him as the chief general after hearing this, even if a team of cavalry next to Azle rushed towards him, his whole head and heart were still as blurred. Until he was dragged off from the horse and forced to kneel on the ground, he realized what was going on, and he suddenly lost the slightest resistance.
At this time, Azle had just returned slowly. Looking at the gate of Du's house, which was still standing tall under the sword and axe, he breathed a sigh of relief, but did not go in, but said to his side: "Leave fifty people here to guard it, and then go to the messenger to Cui's house in Pingkangfang to see if there is any problem. The rest of the people, put all the weapons of these rioters in hand and take them to the Censorate. If there is any resistance, kill them without any revenge."
After all, the Flying Dragon Rider has to stay in the palace for a long time. It is not good to do such a thing, but he has no scruples.
The back door and backyard of the Cui House in Pingkangfang had just experienced a fight. Although Pingkangfang North is a place where prostitutes gather, there are often many high-ranking officials living in other liufangs, including the old houses of Pei Guangting and Li Linfu, as well as many enter the Zuyuan. The Cui family was named the third rank of Cui Yan and Cui Tai, and had a halberd in front of the door, so they could open the door directly along the street, unlike Du Shiyi who refused this preferential treatment when he was conferred the Duke. However, the imperial guards did not choose to attack the Agtoomen directly on the street, but instead broke into Pingkangfang and surrounded the Cui family's back door.
Faced with such a situation, the pedestrians were afraid of being afraid of it, but when the well-informed person learned that it was surrounded by Cui's house, Shuofang, who had a close relationship with Du Shiyi, immediately sent someone to rescue him. As for the Cui family, Cui Jiuniang happened to go back to the door, and when he heard this, he was not willing to be outdone. He instigated Cui Wuniang and Du Shisanniang to directly reward the servants and try his best to resist the enemy. Even though Azle's men came in time, with the help of his own people and others, the imperial guards actually left more than a dozen bodies in the back door and backyard of the Cui family. When the battlefield was finally cleaned up, the dead bodies carried out from the backyard were pointed at by passers-by, and even a slapped boy asked.
"Uncle, didn't you say that the Northern Access Imperial Guard is the most powerful in Chang'an City? Why can't even beat the Cui family's Ding family?"
Faced with such a question, many people who heard it were sighing, but no one could answer it. When the rebels siege the city, the four troops of the North Gate almost fled. Now there are so many people coming back, but the outrageous things happen today. It is said that the emperor is lucky to be at the house of the Sixteen Kings and was assassinated by the Yongwang and his son. Where is the direction of the Tang Dynasty now?
