When the county soldiers of Chang'an County surrounded the Yang County Command, the Yang Party knew that everything was over.

Those soldiers who trembled when they saw themselves were ordered by the ferocious Jing Zhaoyin to hold torches to surround their house!

"Master, we're going to escort you out the back door!"

A few loyal family members raised the blade under the leadership of the old servant, with a determined look on their faces, they didn't know if they could survive, but they wanted Yang Dang to live.

"Run? Where else can I go? ”

Yang Dang, who was high-spirited and wise, looked lonely, and he had exhausted his organs, but after all, he was blinded by Ma Yue's harmless wine banquet.

The banging at the door became louder and louder, and the noise outside and the torches illuminating the wall made Yang Dang's heart no longer quiet.

The world is big, where else can he go?

"As long as I get out of this door and lose it all, where else can I go? The huge division is a place for the Yang Party? ”

Frustrated, he waved his hand, stood on top of the hall, took down the Han sword hanging on the wall, and sat down. Looking at the old servant with a saber kneeling in the hall, he waved his hand weakly and said, "Let's go, I'll ...... Confessed. ”

The old servant with the saber kowtowed to the ground violently, and the old tearful face clenched his teeth, "Master, if you don't leave, it's too late!" ”

He had ordered more than 40 family members in the house to stand against the gate, but he also knew how long he couldn't hold it.

Everything in the house is in a mess, like Yang Dang's chaotic heart.

At this moment, the young son of the old servant rushed in from the back house with a knife in his hand and a bag full of gold and silver, and took a group of soldiers to protect Yang Dang's three wives and concubines and children. If you go out now, you will go to the mountains, go to Daze, and there will still be a place for us, even bandits, and it is better than dying today! ”

"I, Yang Dang, how can I become a bandit!"

The old servant knew that the Yang Party had ordered Yang Fang to relocate the children of the clan to another place, and hurriedly said: "Master, there is also the clan, the children of the clan, we will escort you to meet with the children, change your name and surname, and then try again, the incense of the clan cannot be extinguished!" ”

Clans, I still want clans!

Yang Dang stood up suddenly, "Go!" Rush out! ”

The horses in the stable were dragged away by the housekeepers, and more than a dozen horsemen and soldiers carrying swords carefully opened the side door, but as soon as they opened the door, a field of arrows was like locusts, shooting the two housekeepers to the ground.

"Rebel Yang Dang, quickly open the door and surrender!"

Suddenly, the shouts of the soldiers outside the door, the wails of the arrows at the door, and the cries of the children inside the door converged together, making people upset, and this group of soldiers was like grasshoppers on a pot, running back and forth in the house without a head or tail.

Listening to the wailing outside the door, Yang Dang's heart was even more gloomy, yes, with Ma'er's careful mind, he was as quiet as a virgin, once he made a move, it was like thunder, where could he leave him a little chance to fight back?

"These bastards!" The old slave stomped his feet angrily inside the door, "Who hasn't received the favor of the master on weekdays, but now it's good, one by one changes his face faster than turning a book, and he is a son of man in vain!" ”

Do you have a grudge against them? Yang Dang asked himself, so far, all the fault is that he didn't do it earlier, if he could pass the collected things to Luoyang before the banquet, maybe he would have changed the offensive and defensive situation now.

Resentment is resentment, I am too greedy for vanity, I believe in the false and polite respect from Jing Zhaoyin's wine banquet, and I call you a brother and a brother on the surface, who knows that there is a wolf heart and dog lungs behind it!

"Bang!"

The door finally opened.

The county soldiers with swords, bows and crossbows rushed into the house, surrounded the unarmed family, the family who blocked the door was so frightened that he squatted on the ground and did not dare to come out. In front of him is Peng Shi Sun Wei, behind him there is Ma Chao Bao out, and the four of them are dressed in armor and sharp, like the current enemy.

Glancing at the family with his head on the ground with his head in his arms, Ma Yue slowly shook his head and said softly: "Search! ”

Dozens of county soldiers went on a rampage, rushed into the house and pulled out the women, children, and old men, but in a moment the atrium knelt on the ground. Ma Yue raised his head, and the branches and leaves of the camphor tree in the yard that allowed the four people to hug were luxuriant, and the roots of the tree had already been covered with yellow leaves before they entered the autumn.

Walking leisurely to the backyard, he saw Yang Dang and his family under the heavy protection of the family soldiers.

Through the heavy figures, the family soldiers and the county guards came out with swords, confronting each other, Ma Yue looked at Yang Dang's face full of anger, regret, ferocity and distortion more than ten steps away, and showed a peaceful smile.

Pushing aside the crowd, Ma Yue stood at the front of the county guard, facing the swords of the Yang Mansion soldiers, as if these men holding swords were all pinched in the earth, these people holding knives and riding horses seemed to cease to exist in Ma Yue's eyes, and there was only one person in his eyes, Chang'an Ling, Yang Dang.

"Yang County Order, this ...... Why bother? ”

"Shaft, you have such a vicious heart!"

"Let them put down their knives." Reaching out and tapping the blade of the soldier in front of him, Ma Yue shook his head slowly, "I don't want to kill." ”

Looking at these people holding knives, their trembling hands and frightened eyes, Ma Yue seemed to see himself as a teenager, fearful, sensitive, and nervous. It's as if the slightest wind blows and you go crazy.

The sword in Yang Dang's hand drooped slowly, he didn't have the slightest heart to resist, with a helpless wry smile on his face, it was an extremely lonely expression, he opened his mouth with difficulty, and asked, "Baling, how is Baling?" ”

Ma Yue didn't speak, and shook his head.

Yang Dang's face is like ashes, his whole life is to make the clan strong, for the next generation, for future generations, to be an upright person, no need to look at people's faces and snort. But today, looking back on the way we came, every step has been so insignificant. For the self-made young man in front of him, he suddenly felt that he was so insignificant, and he couldn't resist at all.

Although he was close at hand, Yang Dang didn't even have the courage to draw his sword and divide life and death.

He was on the wrong path.

He suddenly admired this young man, mighty, brave, cunning, wise, humble, and decisive. I'm not bad at all, but after all, I have lost a little bit of luck that people rely on.

Luck!

"Put down your sword, you won't kill them?"

The smile on Ma Yue's face was gone, and he couldn't bear it, but he still nodded.

"Do you think I'll still believe you?" Yang Dang roared, his long sword pointed directly at Ma Yue, but his arm was trembling, "I will never believe you again!" ”

"You don't have a choice. I walked out of the house and attacked without putting down my weapon. Ma Yue turned around, no longer glanced at Yang Dang, and looked up at the towering deciduous old trees in the yard. touched Ma Chao, who was guarding beside him, pulled out a little smile in front of him, and said, "Leave it to them here, Chao'er will accompany your uncle to go around the city." ”

Yang Dang glanced at the old servant and roared angrily: "Ma Yue! If I die, you won't live long! ”

It's a pity that Jing Zhaoyin, who was wearing two crotch armor, didn't look back, and didn't even give him a sneering look, but the majestic back seemed to bring endless ridicule to Yang Dang.

Walking out of the mansion gate, he heard the sound of weapons landing in the courtyard, and Ma Yue let out a long breath and stepped on the horse.

Before riding his horse away, he glanced at the inscription on the gate of the mansion, the lacquered wooden door, and the eaves of the tiles carved with birds and animals.

"Uncle, what will happen to those people?"

The uncle and nephew, who were about the same age, led their horses and walked slowly on the grass outside the city, one in front and the other in the back.

Ma Yue turned his head, looked at the serious Ma Chao, and said, "If I don't kill them, I won't kill them." ”

"But if my uncle doesn't kill them, someone will still kill them." Ma Chao looked at Ma Yue stubbornly, "Even if you are escorted to Luoyang alive, you will still be killed by the emperor in the end, right?" ”

Ma Yue smiled and patted Ma Chao's shoulder, untied the saber around his waist and inserted it on the grass with the reins, sat on the ground with his hem in his hands, patted the grass next to him, and said to Ma Chao: "Sit." ”

"Chao'er, what happened in Liangzhou, my uncle knows it. Uncle doesn't blame you. You are brave, but my uncle wants you to have a righteousness worthy of your bravery. Ma Yue paused and said, "Killing is the last step that can be done. It is the last counterattack before the death of oneself, not the abuse of bravery to take the lives of innocent people. Do you understand? ”

Ma Chao sat next to Ma Yue, Ma Yue noticed that he was still holding the iron spear stuck in the ground in one hand, and the young nephew showed an incomprehensible look on his face, and argued: "But there are also uncles who have said that Ci is not in charge of the army." ”

"Ugh." Ma Yue sighed, from such a sentence, you can see what kind of environment Ma Chao grew up in, he knows best what the brothers in the family are, Ma Play has relied on ferocious murder to become a captain from a beggar on the side of the road all his life, Cheng Yin has done the most in addition to the side business of roasting mutton, Li Zhan's bastard is the thief leader who dared to lead the horse bandits to attack the county ten years ago, and Ma Zong's violent temper is even more about to kill people in a glare. The brothers in the family also roughly understood what kindness was for Ma Teng, but they never said a word to Ma Chao.

"Chao'er, the so-called mercy is not in charge of the army, love is not in charge, righteousness is not financial management, and kindness is not an official. It's not that being a general means that you can't be benevolent, it's not that you can't be affectionate and righteous in doing things, you can't manage money when you're righteous, and you can't be kind to be an official. In the words of Sun Wuzi, it is 'thick but not able to make, love but not order, chaos and cannot be cured, such as arrogance, not available', treat soldiers can not be blindly merciful, but to master the degree of grace and power, let them fear, but also let them respect, love them, and punish them when they make mistakes. ”

"Let the enemy, the people, and your own family be clearly distinguished. Whoever can do something for himself must also know by heart. ”

Ma Chao nodded lightly, as if he understood something, but as if he didn't understand anything. The uncle and nephew lay down in the grass outside the city. The afternoon sun was just right, shining on his body warm but not hot, Ma Yue closed his eyes with his arms on his pillow, and his eyelids were warm red.

……

Peng Shi found a compilation of past crimes against Ma Yue and others in the study of the Yang Mansion, and threw them into the brazier, the fire was vigorous, and he let out a sigh of relief with a smile on his face as he watched the handwriting on the book in the basin turn to ashes.

"Ping Pong,"

There was a sound of swords falling to the ground, and when Ma Yue walked out of the mansion, Yang Dang finally ordered the soldiers to drop their weapons, and then the county soldiers tied everyone up and escorted them all to the courtyard.

The county soldiers waited for Sun Yi and Bao to give orders to escort them to the Chang'an County Ya, but they saw Sun Yi, who had a cold face, slowly pulling out a long knife from his waist.

"Jing Zhao Yin has an order, the thief is stubbornly resistant, and there is no forgiveness for killing!"

Everyone was stunned, but the people brought by Ma Yue rushed forward with knives at the same time as Sun Wei shouted these words, and the shouts of killing continued in an instant, and Chang'an Yang Mansion turned into a sea of blood in an instant.

Yang Dang fell, he didn't regret it and didn't blame himself, he had long known that it would be like this, but he still believed it, and he knew that he shouldn't believe his words.

But he still believed it after all.

On the same day of the same month, Baling ordered Han Yan to lead the county soldiers to behead the Yang clan on the charge of resisting the law and rebelling, and the days of Baling Yang's Weizhen Jingzhao began on the day when the Yang Party went to Luoyang.

According to the dictation of the Xiyuan cavalry guard who returned to the capital to return to his life, the court historian wrote such a stroke.

At that time, Chang'an ordered the Yang Party, and his father was a regular servant in the middle, and he was greedy and unrestrained. The more he worships Jing Zhaoyin, the more he gets more than a million cases. The nobles asked for their lives, the more they didn't listen, the more they heard about it, and even the party father, there was a case of edict and poverty, and the party and clan were punished, and Jingzhao was clear. Yue, the beginning of the shock of the capital division. ”
