Chapter 489: Conquest of Baiyunwu (2-in-1)
Wen Sheng's trip to Fengjing successfully rescued Du Yuanpu and others, and when he returned to his own territory, the morale of the Ji family army was greatly boosted, and Yang Yansuo drove the court people out of Yezhou in one fell swoop.
Yang Yan sorted out the remnants and stationed at the junction of Yongchang and Yezhou, without any other action, he was waiting for Yang Haoyu's order.
As for the Lishui side, because the enemy was on the defensive, they did not take the initiative to pursue, and the battle stopped for a while, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.
There was no Du Yuanpu and others in the capital, the news came slowly, many secrets in the DPRK and China could not be known, and Li Chengyun could not do it, so Mi Jingyang organized another manpower and quietly contacted those powerful families who were familiar with them.
Not only must he keep an eye on Yang Hao and the courtiers who fell to him, but he must also pay close attention to the movements of the Tan family.
It is said that it has been several days, the Tan family should be funeral, should be buried, and Mrs. Tan's funeral should be completed, Mr. Tan Wu has not appeared yet, and several grandchildren are trapped in Jiangbei, Tan Mengzhou cannot ignore it.
In mid-September, the Empress Dowager took the young emperor back to her parents' home to visit relatives and live for a long time.
Yang Haoyu ordered one after another to summon Zhu Ziliang in the pass to Beijing to face the saint, but Zhu Ziliang dragged on the grounds that the war with Nanchong was tense.
Yang Haoyu didn't react to this, as if he acquiesced to what Zhu Ziliang did, and turned his head and began to drastically change the generals of Suzhou and the western border, and most of the new ones were related to the Tan family.
Zhang Yuanzhong, the former commander of the Suzhou Soldiers and Horse Guard, was suspicious of the transfer, so he delayed it for some reason, and was taken down on the spot by the Qincha sent by the imperial court and escorted back to Beijing for questioning.
Qin Cha is a fresh face, and he only says that his surname is Hua. He was accompanied by several musicians, and more than a dozen good players accompanied him for protection.
For a time, all the generals in the northwest were awe-inspiring, and no one knew that this was a change in Fengjing. The regent Yang Hao was afraid that he couldn't count on it, and the whole family of the old generals of Emperor Jianzhao was in Beijing, so there was no need to follow the funeral, and they handed over their military power and changed places to retire.
After the imperial court dispatched troops, it actually cut off the retreat of the army of Jilu.
Following the will of the young emperor, Mr. Tan Ruibo and Mr. Tan Er, Tan Ruide, were given official positions and titles respectively. Ordered Yang Haoyu and Tan Ruide to be the Qincha, go to the garrison of the army of Jilu State, and meet again with Temur, the marshal of Jilu State. Negotiate the discharge of troops.
The initiator of inviting these plague gods to come to Daliang was Yang Haoyu, so he was indispensable for negotiations.
The Great Liang is already chaotic enough, and the imperial court does not want to add another war with the Jilu State, so this meeting is ready to be both soft and hard. It is better to agree to some unreasonable demands of the other party. I want to send these plague gods away, too.
The change of generals is one thing, Mr. Tan Er did not go on an adventure alone, he also brought a group of thousands of elite soldiers, and many division commanders of Xuanyin Pavilion were among them.
Talking about the verdict here, Tan Jinhua, the eldest son of the Tan family, personally led a temporarily formed army out of Fengjing, all the way south, and went straight to Guanzhong.
Guanzhong is close to Yezhou, and the disc newspaper is unimpeded. The news came much faster.
It is said that when Tan Jinhua left Beijing, he invited the Holy Decree to go to Guanzhong to arrest the rebel thieves Zhong Tianzheng and Yang Haojian. The little emperor also specially issued a holy decree to Zhu Ziliang, ordering him to assist Tan Yaohua according to the situation.
And the Tan family seems to have really mastered Zhong Tianzheng's whereabouts.
At the end of September, this new army inflicted heavy losses on Zhong Tianzheng's men and horses on the shore of Tiannu Lake, and captured Yang Haojian, who had been on the run.
After Tan Jinhua's interrogation, he ordered someone to cut off Yang Haojian's head and send him back to Beijing as soon as possible.
The fight here was lively, Zhu Ziliang watched the play across the lake, and did not move.
He also wanted to reap the profits, but he didn't know that the Tan family had already calculated him.
As soon as Yang Haojian died, Tan Jinhua couldn't care about finding Zhong Tianzheng anymore, so he took his men and horses to Zhu Ziliang's camp with a secret purpose, and at the same time, a team of assassins in Zhu Ziliang's camp fell from the sky.
This time, except for Tan Mengzhou and Mr. Tan Da, who are in charge in Beijing, the children of the Tan family are almost out of the nest.
If Mr. Tan Wu, Tan Kanghua and others were not dead, they would be in Baiyunwu if they were not in the hands of Zhu Ziliang, and Zhu Ziliang was at least an insider. Therefore, Tan Lao Guoshi sent the third and fourth sons together, and there was a strict order before leaving, and Zhu Ziliang must be captured alive.
This team of assassins was led by Mr. Tan San, and the attendants were all experts from all major sects of the rivers and lakes who had won the trust of the Tan family for many years.
Zhu Ziliang was attacked suddenly, and the personal guards around him were suppressed by Mr. Tan Si with the sound of the piano, unable to move, and were bound one after another, and Zhu Ziliang was directly stunned by Mr. Tan San's "vibrating rope ringing bell".
Such a smooth success, everyone is overjoyed.
Although there are many subordinates of Zhu Ziliang outside, they are not all rebellious, the Tan family has dispatched so many masters this time, and they can be completely suppressed, just wait for Tan Jinhua to lead the army to arrive, you can read out the secret decree, control all the generals, and screen them one by one.
Mr. Tan San's attendant stepped forward to drag Zhu Ziliang up and tie him up.
At this moment, two people suddenly jumped up from among the attendants who fell to the ground.
One raised his sword and stabbed at Zhu Ziliang, and the other rushed straight at Mr. Tan San, who was close at hand.
If Wen Sheng was present, maybe he would remind everyone in the Tan family that the martial arts practiced by those Great Zhou Yu in Baiyunwu seemed to be able to resist the attack of the musician, but at that time, the Tan family was used to the sound of the piano and the other party gave the head, so many attendants did not react.
Fortunately, Mr. Tan San suddenly saw a white light flashing in front of him, and the sharp wind hit his face, and he subconsciously raised the piano to block it.
The extremely precious Yaoqin that had followed him for many years in his hand was struck by the waist and broken into two. That's not all, the opponent's long sword was castrated, and he cut off half of his arm.
For a while, blood splattered three feet, Mr. Tan San screamed in pain and fell backwards.
At the same time, Zhu Ziliang was also pierced through the chest by the people of Baiyunwu and nailed to the ground.
The sudden change occurred, Mr. Tan Si exclaimed in shock, with a force in his hand, the strings of Yaoqin were broken by him a few times, and finally the two of them were relieved and failed to continue the murder.
Only then did the many attendants of the Tan family react, and the two of them went up to hug Mr. Tan San and immediately rescued them, and as soon as the rest of the people rushed up, they wanted to surround the two people in Baiyunwu.
The two men looked at each other and rose to their feet.
There were so many good people in the audience who couldn't stop the people, and they rushed out of the tent. Mixed in with the ordinary soldiers, he disappeared without a trace.
It's important to save people first.
Mr. Tan Si looked at the third brother who was covered in blood, and only felt his ears ringing and his heart beating. There was a blackness in front of him.
The third brother broke his arm, how will he play the piano in the future? Decades of hard work have come to naught, and he may be able to withstand the blow?
Who is to blame, blame the attendants for their poor guards? The attendants saw that the third brother was crippled, and they all felt like mourners, so they didn't have to punish themselves, and they naturally suffered after they went back.
Blame the enemy for being too insidious and cunning.
Mr. Tan San was assassinated. Although there was chaos outside the tent, no one dared to speak in the tent, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "The surname Zhu is still alive!" ”
Really. Xu is the right person in Baiyunwu hurriedly made a move, and lost his head, although the sword pierced Zhu Ziliang through his chest, it did not hurt his heart and lungs. It looked like a lot of blood had been shed. The man has not yet died.
Mr. Tan Si shouted angrily: "Don't save people yet!" ”
Only by rescuing Zhu Ziliang can we know where Baiyunwu's nest is, not to mention that there are so many children of the Tan family who have fallen into the hands of the other party.
People in the rivers and lakes are often injured, and these attendants of the Tan family have all the elixirs in their hands because of their status and status.
After a while, Mr. Tan San woke up, he already knew that he was missing an arm, and he was afraid that he would not be able to play the piano in the future.
But he has perfected the art of sacrificing one's own blow. The strength of the heart far exceeded everyone's thoughts, and he quickly calmed down. found that Zhu Ziliang showed signs of waking up, and he didn't go to recuperate from his injuries, and said: "You must save him and search him, Gu Wensheng can control Fu Lancheng, and so can we." Hurry up and contact Jinhua, Chen Bing Nanhu Road, prepare the boat, and completely eradicate Baiyunwu in one go. ”
Mr. Tan Si was ashamed and said, "Third brother, you can rest quickly, and leave the rest to me." ”
After Zhu Ziliang was rescued, Mr. Tan Si subdued him without much difficulty.
Zhu Ziliang himself also knew that Baiyunwu had obviously given up on killing people and destroying his mouth, he had been used to doing wall grass over the years, and he was controlled by the elixir, so he didn't have any integrity at all, and now he just wants to take everyone to eradicate Baiyunwu and he may die happily.
To the great relief of the Tan family, the missing Tan Kanghua and others were not sent away, and no one from Baiyunwu was killed, and they were still under the control of Zhu Ziliang, and they were all released after Zhu Ziliang's fall.
It went so smoothly that Mr. Tan San and Mr. Tan Si were quite surprised.
But Zhu Ziliang said that he hadn't been summoned by the Lord of Baiyunwu for a few days.
The last time Zhu Ziliang returned to Baiyunwu was in May this year, when Gu Wensheng, Zhong Tianzheng, and Tan Wu were all on the island.
The lord of Baiyunwu ordered him to pull the soldiers to Nanhu Road and design to arrest several young people of the Tan family.
But when he arrested someone, the Baiyun Dock Lord never had a follow-up order, so he had to find a secret place to lock it up first.
Not only that, many people in Baiyunwu have disappeared, and the two people who assassinated him and Mr. Tan San just now were sent by the owner of Baiyunwu to monitor him early in the morning.
After hearing this, Mr. Tan San and Mr. Tan Si couldn't help but look at each other and sigh, their faces gloomy.
Combining what Zhu Ziliang said with Gu Wensheng's words when he asked Tan Ronghua to come back, it is very likely that something happened to the master of Baiyunwu and his cronies, otherwise they would not have been inactive for several months, allowing Zhu Ziliang and Fu Lancheng to be pulled out one by one.
That old man deserved to die at the bottom of the lake, but it's a pity for the fifth child.
The Tan brothers didn't care about screening the generals under Zhu Ziliang's command, so they first controlled everyone and escorted Zhu Ziliang to Baiyunwu.
Zhu Ziliang led the way in front, Tan Jinhua took his own people, plus the brigade that received Zhu Ziliang, and led thousands of large and small ships to surround the nearby lake.
The ship was densely packed with archers.
No matter how powerful you are in Baiyunwu, against tens of thousands of troops, you can only be swept away.
The lake has been blocked, and the remnants of the former dynasty who are hiding in Baiyunwu have nowhere to escape, and they will die if they do not fall.
Zhu Ziliang has been back and forth to Baiyunwu many times before, and there is actually a set of tricks to walk through the maze, and the people in Baiyunwu saw that he was obedient and made him memorize.
At this time, he guided all the way, took the Tan family straight to Baiyunwu, pointed his finger in front and said: "Fourth master, look, there is fog on the lake, in fact, it is not fog, it is just an illusion brought by the maze." Seeing this fog, it means that we are very close to Qianhua Island. ”
Tan Jinhua stood on the bow of the boat wearing a golden helmet and a battle robe, staring at the lake in front of him, and asked rhetorically when he heard the words: "Lost formation? ”
Zhu Ziliang hurriedly said: "Yes, eldest prince, I humbled to the people of Baiyunwu bragging, saying that this maze was set up by Emperor Youdi back then, and no one has been able to break it for hundreds of years. ”
Who wants to die, getting closer and closer to Qianhua Island, Zhu Ziliang can't help but have another glimmer of hope.
If Baiyunwu is really a group of dragons without a leader at this time, after Tan Dagongzi sweeps it away with his soldiers, will he be forced to ask how to make the elixir, so that he can make up for it?
Then he will be loyal in the future, and the rest of his life will only be the head of the Tan family.
Tan Jinhua suddenly waved his hand and fanned the white mist in front of him, sniffed his nose, and said, "This is smoke." ”
Zhu Ziliang also smelled the smoky smell of burnt fire in the air.
Walking a short distance further, as soon as his eyes were clear, Zhu Ziliang stood at the bow of the boat and looked around, and couldn't help but look in a hurry.
The islands of all sizes in front of you show their true faces, but where are there thousands of flowers?
All the islands are scorched black, and the perennial flowers have been burned.
"This ...... How is this ......?"
Tan Jinhua ignored Zhu Ziliang's gaffe and urged: "Order, speed up, don't let the enemy escape!" ”
Half an hour later, the army surrounded Baiyunwu.
Mr. Tan Si told all the soldiers to pay more attention to the underwater water, and not to be caught by the enemy and dive and flee.
The ships approached with archers, and the officers and men in front of them routinely shouted, urging the islanders to put up white flags and surrender themselves.
Before shouting a few words, there was suddenly music on the island, there was a piano and a flute, and everyone in the Tan family changed color when they heard the sound, and there was a musician!
Mr. Tan Si listened attentively for a while, and his expression was solemn: "It's actually "Xi Shengpu"!" ”
There are still people in this world who know "Xi Shengpu", and they are not alone, and they have not heard Gu Wensheng say such important things.
Mr. Tan Si told Tan Jinhua: "Catch it alive!" ”
From the boat, you can clearly see the winding mountain road of Baiyunwu and the dense woods.
Tan Jinhua coldly ordered: "Release the rockets and force them out!" ”
The overwhelming sparks shot into the dense forest, and soon became a prairie fire, the smoke of Baiyunwu was everywhere, and the music in the forest stopped in a hurry, but no one escaped.
Tan Jinhua was still waiting for people to continue to persuade him to surrender, and the closest building on the island to everyone collapsed, and large and small stones rolled down the mountain road.
This was just the beginning, and soon the houses in Baiyunwu collapsed one by one, and even the high walls under the four were not spared.
The entire Baiyunwu was razed to the ground in front of everyone.
Seeing this scene, Tan Jinhua could still calm down, and shouted: "Quickly go to the island to search and see if there are any living people!" ”
The guards of the Tan family rushed to the island at the risk of being hit by rocks, only to drag out more than a dozen unrecognizable corpses under the rocks, and found nothing.
Baiyunwu was too badly destroyed, and in the end, he couldn't find the secret passage that Wen Sheng said.
Even if there is, the fish that escaped to the ground will never see the light of day again, Tan Yaohua was worried about the third uncle's injury after searching in Baiyunwu for two days, and led the army back to Nanhu Road. (To be continued.) )
