Chapter 891: Dinghuai Nan (11) (3rd Update)

After the dawn, the melee in the city continued, and there were fallen Huainan soldiers everywhere.

Before this, they may still be cousins who drank together and called each other, but last night they were their own masters, swords and soldiers faced each other, and died on the streets of Yangzhou.

The people hiding in their homes still didn't dare to go out, and when they opened the doors and windows to see the corpses everywhere outside and the streets stained red with blood, they were so frightened that they immediately closed the door.

Not far from the back gate of the Jiedu Embassy, Liu Xin led the state soldiers under his command and the personal soldiers of the Jieshuai's Mansion, and finally defeated Zhang Hao and recaptured Yang Xingmi's body.

However, at this time, Yang Xingmi has been trampled by the rebels and is not human, and a generation of heroes has ended up like this, which can be regarded as extremely desolate.

"Jie Shuai, the last general is incompetent, it's too late!"

Liu Xin threw the knife aside and knelt in front of Yang Xingmi's corpse, crying grief-stricken and full of self-blame.

Beside him, there were also a lot of Huainan soldiers who knelt down, but all of them were covered with blood, some were enemies, and some were their own.

After sorting out Yang Xingmi's body, Liu Xin picked up a knife and came to Zhang Hao, who was being escorted by Liu Xin's men at this time, obviously defeated and captured.

Liu Xin picked up the knife, put it on Zhang Hao's neck, and said coldly, "Zhang Hao, we are all old men who followed the Jieshuai to lay the foundation of Huainan, even if you seek another career, you shouldn't kill Jieshuai." ”

"Hahaha, hahahaha!" Zhang Hao, who was wearing a cloak, couldn't help but laugh, "If this is all Xu Wen and Yan Keqiu's conspiracy, do you believe it?" I, Zhang Hao, although I raised an army against Jieshuai, I didn't want to go to a dead end with Jieshuai, but I definitely didn't mean to kill Jieshuai.

Why should I kill him? What's in it for me to kill him? ”

"To this day, you are still quibbling, are we really blind? Yes! Liu Xin scolded, "Also, let me ask you, where is Xu Wen, aren't you together?" ”

Liu Xin also remembered Xu Wen, but when he got the news, his left and right teeth were reversed, but he didn't see Xu Wen's right tooth until now.

"Only now do you think of Xu Wen? Don't you think it's over? Kill me, and you'll all die! Zhang Hao sneered.

"Do you really think I don't dare kill you?" Liu Xin shouted.

At this moment, there was a strange movement in the distance, and soon his men ran towards him.

"Qi Qi Changshi, it's not good, the army of the imperial court is here!"

"What? The army of the imperial court? Liu Xin looked at Zhang Hao, "You also called the army of the imperial court?" ”

"Haha, you're done. If I were you, run now, this Yangzhou and this Huainan have changed. Hahaha! ”

In the panic of a group of Huainan soldiers, a pair of Jiangnan Daozhou soldiers and sailors who were marching in a neat queue appeared in front of Zhongrao under the leadership of Huainan Youya, and began to take over Yangzhou City in an all-round way.

"Kill!"

Seeing Liu Xin and the Huainan army behind him, Xu Wen directly ordered an attack, at this time, he naturally had to be ruthless and kill all these people to show his loyalty to the imperial court.

"Kill!"

The shouts of killing sounded again in Yangzhou City, but by this time the situation was already one-sided, and with more than 10,000 imperial troops marching into Yangzhou, the outcome of the battle was already doomed.

Zhang Hao was killed in the chaos, Liu Xin finally killed himself in front of Yang Xingmi's body, and Yang Xingmi's wife and concubines and heirs were all killed by the rebels in the melee last night.

In order to clear up the opposition, Xu Wen even ordered the slaughter of Yang Xingmi's diehard personnel in the city, and the whole of Yangzhou fell into chaos

Regarding Xu Wen's massacre, Shi Ling did not interfere, which was naturally a good thing for the imperial court.

There were also many defeated soldiers who took advantage of the chaos to escape from Yangzhou City and spread the news to Chuzhou, which was close to Yangzhou, and Luzhou, Hezhou and Chuzhou learned the news even later.

When Liu Cun learned the news of the change in Yangzhou, he was very anxious and led thousands of people to kill Yangzhou.

But not long after he set off, he learned that Zhang Hao and Xu Wen rebelled, Yang Xingmi was killed by Zhang Hao, and Liu Xin was killed in battle.

There is no doubt that this sudden change caught Liu Cun off guard, and after learning that the imperial army had entered Yangzhou City, he even wanted to send troops to Yangzhou.

In the end, Liu Cun led his army back to Chuzhou, and then spread the news to other states in Huainan, mainly Luzhou.

The mutiny in Yangzhou soon spread to the other states of Huainan, and even Jiangnan Province soon learned the news.

But even if they learned the news, the other seven states of Huainan could not effectively organize an army counterattack.

Zhu Yanshou, the Shouzhou Assassin, An Renyi, Li Shenfu, and Ma Bujun, who commanded Zhou Ben, went to Luoyang, and Huainan of the Assassin fell into a situation where the dragons were leaderless.

Even if Liu Wei is quite prestigious, he can't command the other six states.

Like Shouzhou and Hezhou, they will definitely not listen; Gwangju and Shuju are too far away for some whips to reach; The army of Chuzhou listened to Li Shenfu, and although they were also loyal to Yang Xingmi, the dragons were leaderless and did not dare to move.

Among the armies of these states, Chuzhou and Shouzhou were the strongest, mainly to guard against the imperial court. The former had an army of 30,000, the latter had 15,000, and the soldiers and horses of the other states were also several thousand, not less than 10,000.

And the soldiers and horses around Yangzhou were either defeated or absorbed by the imperial court and could not be helped.

。。。。。。

"Sin Shouzhou Assassin Shi Zhu Yanshou, see Your Majesty!"

Ziwei Palace, the Kyushu Pond in the northwest corner, Li Ye is fishing here, and a group of ministers are waiting on the side, and there is also Zhu Yanshou, the assassin of Shouzhou.

Jiuzhou Pond is an important royal pond garden in Ziwei City, which was built in Sui and used in the Tang Dynasty. Jiuzhou Pond is named after Jiuzhou like the East China Sea, covers an area of square meters, the water depth is more than 3.4 meters, the embankment is bent, there are several islands in the pond, birds and fish swim, flowers are planted.

When the Sui Dynasty built Ziwei City, Yu Wenkai introduced Gushui into Ziwei City and built many ponds and marshes according to the water, the largest of which was Jiuzhou Pond located in the northwest corner of Ziwei City in the Sui Dynasty.

When Li Ye rebuilt Ziwei Palace, he also restored these ponds and marshes, and it was quite good to have nothing to play or fish.

"Sinners?" Li Ye held the fishing rod and chuckled, "Why does Zhu Aiqing call himself a criminal minister?" ”

"The minister was stupid for a while, and it was a big crime to follow Huainan Jiedu to make Yang Xingmi divide one side and confront the imperial court." Zhu Yanshou replied.

"Against the imperial court, that is a rebellion, and Zhu Aiqing may understand the consequences of rebellion?" Li Ye smiled.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister understands. The minister knew the sin deeply, so he abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, returned to the court, and served the court and His Majesty. ”

Li Ye smiled and didn't say anything, but looked at the water in front of him, because his fishing rod reacted, and it seemed that a fish had been hooked.

The fish under the water should have bitten the hook and couldn't break free, fluttering in the water, but Li Ye had no intention of pulling up the fishing rod.

"Your Majesty, the fish has been hooked!" Zhu Yanshou next to him couldn't help but remind.

"Oh!"

Li Ye 'reacted', and began to pull up the fishing rod in his hand, I don't know if the fish is too big, or Li Ye has no strength, anyway, the waves in the water are quite big, but unfortunately the fish just can't pull up.

Zhu Yanshou hesitated for a while, and then walked into the water in front of everyone, which frightened the surrounding ministers, eunuchs, and palace maids.

Zhang Wei wanted to reprimand, but Li Ye waved his hand to stop him.

Zhu Yanshou, who entered the water, caught the fish that bit the hook, it was really a big fish, it should be almost a catty, and it was still a carp.

After catching it, Zhu Yanshou took the fish off the hook, then slowly floated ashore, came to Li Ye, and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty's fish!"

Looking at Zhu Yanshou's performance, Li Ye was really a little surprised, handed the fishing rod to Zhang Wei next to him, and smiled, "This fish is rewarded to you!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhu Yanshou hurriedly thanked him.

"After eating the fish, let's leave Luoyang and cooperate with Right Xiaowei to take over Shouzhou." Li Ye commanded.

"Your Majesty wants to use troops against Huainan?" Zhu Yanshou was a little puzzled.

"With soldiers, there's no need for that." Li Ye shook his head, "After you entered Luoyang, Zhang Hao and Xu Wen launched a mutiny, Yang Xingmi was killed, and at this time the imperial army's army had already controlled Yangzhou.

Your task is to cooperate with the right Xiaowei to absorb the Shouzhou army, and then wave your army south to take over Luzhou and other places. If you perform well, the post of marching Sima of Fujian Province is about to be replaced, and you can go to Fujian Province to take up your post at that time. ”

"Thank you, Lord Ron!"

Hearing that Zhang Hao and Xu Wen actually launched a mutiny to kill Yang Xingmi, Zhu Yanshou began to curse in his heart, these two guys actually stole the limelight.

However, it is not bad to be a marching Sima in Fujian Province, but he is a third-grade member who masters a soldier and a horse.
