Chapter 713: Great Chaos (3)
After the fire merged with the Turks and fought two more battles with the Qiang people, the Tuyuhun warriors around Zhu Shile had more than 1,500 people, and they became a force to be reckoned with in Guzang City.
Speaking of which, the main ethnic groups in Guzang are actually four, the Sui people (which can also be said to be the Han people), and the Qiang people, these two are deeply rooted in the northwest and have a large number of people.
Outside of them are the Tuyuhun and Turkic people, the Turks have the smallest number, almost all of them are the eastward migration tribes of the Western Turks, some nobles are unwilling to graze with the clansmen in Huiningchuan, come to settle in Guzang to enjoy the blessings, and by the way, also strive for some official positions in the Liang Kingdom.
Don't look at Daduque's performance is very arrogant, but in the chaos, they were the first to suffer the catastrophe, and even Daduque was killed, showing that the Western Turkic eastward migration tribe was just like that, and they had a firm foothold in the northwest, and they wanted to get involved in the disputes in the northwest, and they were kicked out in minutes.
Tuyuhun is more powerful, but it still can't be compared with the Qiang and Han people, otherwise it won't be caught up to the highlands, and now it's like a headless fly.
In fact, the turmoil in Guzang was only carried out between the Han and Qiang people, and everything else was a petty fight.
And the reason why when the chaos broke out, the demons danced wildly, which made Guzang look so chaotic, was because the Qiang people were numerous, but they belonged to different tribes, and without prior agreement, they were scattered in the city, as if it was just an instant, and the entire Guzang was dragged into the war.
In fact, the Han people have the largest number of people, and the people's hearts are also uneven, some close their doors and guard their households, just hoping to live until the time when the chaos is calmed down, some people are like the main Shile, taking advantage of the fire to rob, and more people are listening to the rumors, and seeing the Qiang species, they immediately picked up the knife and gun, and entangled with the Qiang people.
It can be said that the chaotic image in Guzang City was created by the Qiang and Han people, and they were the ones who suffered the most.
Don't look at the Tuyuhun people gathering more and more people, but the situation is getting less and less beautiful, whether it is the Han people or the Qiang people, they are all gathering, as if they are waiting for the decisive moment, or the arrival of the final word.
The east and north of the city are places where the Han people live, and under the leadership of the Weifu army, a large-scale purge of the Qiang people has begun at this time.
And this kind of scene that can be said to be premeditated ethnic cleansing is very terrible, and the cruelty is better than that of Bai Yusa's rebellious army, and no normal person wants to be in it, which is undoubtedly one of the epitomes of the war in the northwest.
In the west and south of the city, the Qiang had the upper hand, and their actions were no worse than those of the Han Chinese, but their actions were frantic and unplanned.
Looting Han Chinese property is the theme, and then killing and some bestiality ......
The Tuyuhun people led by the main Shile were running around the city, constantly clashing with the Qiang people, and the main Shile finally felt that something was wrong between the march to the palace, the number of the Qiang people was increasing, but the Han people did not seem to have moved.
So he immediately led the people wisely and did not go to the palace, and they were unwilling to leave the city from top to bottom, so the prince's mansion became their destination.
Well, in fact, they are here to rob, the mansions of the dignitaries in Guzang City are their targets, the prince's mansion is particularly conspicuous, and it is said that the prince is dead, and under the panic of the people, it is easy to attack it.
The Tuyuhun people, who lack political goals, and other tribesmen who take advantage of the fire to rob, are actually the groups that have caused the most damage to Guzang.
Fan Wenjin didn't have the slightest intention of eliminating violence and peace, otherwise, with the elite around him, even if he didn't ride a horse, it would be more than enough to kill these rabble gathered by Lord Shile.
But when the main Shi Le led people to rush into the prince's mansion and began to rummage through boxes and cabinets to find goods, food and other things, Fan Wenjin led people to exit the mansion that was about to become a nest of the Tuyuhun people from the other side.
"Go to the palace ......"
Unlike the main Shile, Fan Wenjin's purpose is very clear, as long as Li Yun and the others are not fools, they should be prepared, if they can't control the palace at this time, then this chaos is a self-digging grave.
Of course, if the luck is too bad, or Li Yun and the others are too incompetent, or let An Xiuren and the others control the situation, then they can only admit it, because at this time, it is a great risk to lead people out of the city and to the palace......
But at this time, Fan Wenjin also had a grievance, whoever gave someone an idea, he would be thrown aside and ignored, he would not be satisfied, and there was no rumor before the chaos, and I don't know what Li Yun and others were planning, did they want him, the messenger, to bury the prince Li Boyu?
Fortunately, Li Yun was not so unreliable, and before Fan Wenjin and his party left the Prince's Mansion, when they caught a few "guides" and asked them to lead the way to the palace, Guan Shi and people came out.
Guan Shi brought hundreds of people, covered in blood and murderous, and was overjoyed to see Fan Wenjin, "Fortunately, it's not too late to come...... Fan was frightened, and Guan Shi's sin was also ......"
He felt quite ashamed, Li Yun, Guan Shi and others put the safety of the envoys in his hands, but the big change was too protruding, and the situation they expected was too different, and they were almost not caught off guard, Guan Shi finally gathered these horses, and then rushed over.
How many people were killed along the way, and who they killed, Guan Shi himself actually didn't know clearly, he only knew that he was rushing forward, and everyone who stood in the way was rushed by them.
Fan Wenjin saw that he was so embarrassed, and he couldn't care much about it at all, so he immediately asked, "An Xiuren has been ambushed?" ”
Guan Shi asked people to surround the envoy and the servants, and replied embarrassedly, "When I came, I heard that Li Neishi had led people to surround the household, so few people should have escaped...... I don't know the rest. ”
Fan Wenjin said helplessly, just like you, it is very likely that An Xiuren will be put to death and then reborn.
And no matter how he mutters, he can't change his involuntary situation, the so-called strategizing, most of the wise and resourceful people who win thousands of miles away are actually like this, after making an idea, the good or bad is up to the sky, and even whether his life can be saved is between the two.
Along the way, Fan Wenjin really saw how messy Guzang was at this time.
In the streets and alleys, countless people with knives and swords, scurrying around, shouting and screaming all the way, people with liver and brain can be seen everywhere, and the team is also attacked and harassed from time to time, you can't tell who is shouting and shouting and killing, and who is crying for survival.
This is still in the imperial city, and it is conceivable that the scene on the other side of the city will only be more chaotic than here.
The Prince's Mansion is not too far from the palace, otherwise Fan Wenjin doubts that their group is so conspicuous that they can still enter the palace.
Before they reached the palace, another group of men and horses gathered, so there were more than a hundred cavalry in the ranks, and with them opening the way in front, the march was smoother and the danger was much less.
The general who came to meet the group brought the latest news, An Xiuren was dead, An Xinggui had escaped without a trace, and everyone was gathering in the palace, pushing Li Mao as the leader, preparing to send troops to quell the chaos.
Fan Wenjin is sure in his heart, An Xiuren is the head of the Qiang people, or the head of the household department, and he also leads the military power of the outer city, and is undoubtedly one of the founders of the current situation in Guzang, as long as this person is dead, the Qiang people are leaderless, and it is not difficult to defeat them.
He actually wanted to come up with another idea here and let people arrest An Xinggui back, otherwise once this person escaped back to Li Tang, maybe he would lead Qu Tutong into the northwest, look at Guzang's current appearance, is he still capable of blocking Qu Tutong's army?
It's a pity that no one wants to listen to him anymore, and everyone is gearing up for a battle to decide.
Li Liang's palace is very new, and some places have not even been completed, showing how new this freshly baked Daliang Dynasty is, and the high and raised Jade Maiden Platform is built on the square in front of the palace.
It was also chaotic, the square had been stained red with blood, and countless heads had been piled up to form a terrible view of the capital, where the victors were purging dissidents.
There are also some poles erected in the square, and there are also bloody human heads hanging on them, maybe An Xiuren is among them, right? Who knows, anyway, if the fairy comes at this time, she will definitely be frightened and turn around and run, and then don't bother to deal with these angry mortals.
The soldiers unsheathed their swords and guns, and regarded the palace as a barracks, with three steps, one post, five steps, and one sentry, and the idlers and miscellaneous people could not approach at all.
The people in the square shouted horses, obviously Li Yun and others had gathered a considerable military force, and were preparing to "send troops to quell the rebellion" and give the opponent a final blow.
Fan Wenjin entered the palace in shock, and soon received a warm reception, and met the emperor's brother Li Mao, a very stocky northwestern man, who was estimated to be likely to take over the emperor's throne later.
Fan Wenjin was almost dizzy and was given an official position, the Shangshu of the Daliang Household Department, and the right servant of the Shangshu, a position that Fan Wenjin almost never dreamed of before.
This is ......
He didn't even have time to think about it, Li Mao regarded himself as the emperor like this, right, he had already been pushed to stand with Cao Zhen and the others, and Fan Wenjin, who was disturbed by everyone's congratulatory voices, was uneasy, and the smiling faces looked so ill-intentioned.
In fact, his keen instincts played a role......
When he introduced Li Mao to the generals who wore helmets and armor, he knew that he had been used again, and the prestige of the Han king had finally played a substantial role, and the attitude of the generals was obviously more enthusiastic about him than that of the ministers.
This is not the end, the chaos gradually subsided that night, and the news of Li Mao's death suddenly reached Fan Wenjin's ears......
(During the annual meeting, Acao may have to break off, there is still time code when on vacation, and the annual meeting can only be arranged by others, about three or four days, please forgive me.) )
