More than 100,000 troops on both sides fought fiercely for a night between Guazhoudu and Yangzhou City, and they were evenly matched.

After waiting until dawn, Wan Yanliang issued an edict again in Yangzhou City, summoning the soldiers of Guazhou to fight the rebellion!

The more than 200,000 troops in the Guazhou camp who did not move received the edict and asked the heralds of the strong army and the accompanying defenders of Yangzhou City, and quickly judged that Wan Yan Liang was still alive and was in Yangzhou City, so a group of generals responded one after another.

As more than 200,000 troops from the Guazhou battalion joined the melee between the two sides, the rebels led by Wanyan Yuanyi and others began to retreat from defeat and retreat westward under the front and rear attacks.

At that time, the scuffle ended, and there were countless casualties.

In the Yangzhou camp, Wan Yanliang was very unhappy.

Fang just came to report, the biggest rebel Wan Yan Yuanyi was not caught, he fled west with an army of 50,000, Tang Kuo Wuye died in the chaos, and he was nowhere to be found, and the biggest rebel masterminds were not caught, only a few commanders who followed their rebellion were caught.

Wan Yan Liang immediately ordered to hunt down Wan Yan Yuanyi and Shou Su, no matter where they fled to, they must be caught and shown to the public!

Soon after, the captured rebellious commanders were sent to Yangzhou City, they knelt in front of Wan Yan Liang and kowtowed and begged for their lives, their foreheads were broken, Wan Yan Liang watched coldly, without the slightest soft-heartedness.

After asking in a few words who had committed rebellion together, he immediately ordered the rebellion to be beheaded.

Then another order was issued, all the lieutenants, officers and above in the rebel army were killed, and ordinary soldiers were spared death.

At around noon, a detailed battle report was sent back to the camp: "From last night to today, a total of 34,683 rebels have been killed outside the camp in Guazhou, including 8 commanders, 274 officers and above, and more than 21,300 people have been captured!" ”

After the face sank like water, this rebellion caused heavy losses to the army, greatly damaged the vitality, and completely shaken the morale of the army, the Guazhou camp became a pot of porridge, and his camp could not move back to Guazhou.

"Your Majesty, the concubines have been brought back to Yangzhou City, will they be sent to the camp immediately?" The guards entered the temple to report.

Wan Yanliang's brows jumped, and then asked, "Where did you find it?" ”

"Wan Yan Yuanyi's Chinese army camp, Wan Yan Yuanyi didn't take them with him when he fled."

"Who else is left but them?" Wan Yanliang's heart trembled.

"No, everyone else in the camp is dead, and the ministers who are at odds with Yan Yuanyi are also killed."

"You don't have to take them to camp, find a place to dispose of them!" Wan Yan Liang said coldly.

"Your Majesty, they are concubines....." The guards were shocked.

"Don't you understand?" Wan Yanliang's eyes widened.

"Yes!" The guards broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly took the order to retreat.

"Your Majesty, it is not appropriate to dispose of it in the city, and it will damage the reputation of the emperor if it is spread out, so you should be more cautious at this time." Seeing that there was no one in the hall, Yang Congyi reminded him.

"Oh, what do you think so?" Wan Yanliang, who quelled the rebellion, was not in a better mood.

"Naturally, it is sent out of the city, find a place where no one is around, and dispose of it quietly." Yang Congyi replied cautiously.

"That's right, then you can do it, do it cleanly." Wan Yanliang nodded slightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yang Congyi was ordered to retire.

Not far from the temple gate, he caught up with the guard and stopped him.

"Lord Shangshu, what's the matter?"

"The emperor handed over the matter of disposing of the concubines to me, where are they now?" Yang Congyi asked.

"It's just east of the city."

"Go, take me there."

Urging the horse away, in less than a quarter of an hour, Yang Congyi followed the guard to a courtyard guarded by guards in the east of the city.

"How many of them are there?"

"Five."

"Find some civilian clothes, and two more wagons." After entering the courtyard, Yang Congyi commanded in a low voice.

The guards answered.

Outside the city of Yangzhou, two carriages galloped eastward, and the two horsemen accompanied the carriage one after the other.

While running, a voice came from the car in front of me: "Lord Yang, where are we going?" Isn't the emperor in Yangzhou, why didn't he send us to see the emperor? ”

"In the event of rebellion, Yangzhou City is not stable, the emperor decided to send you back to Bianjing first for your safety." Yang Congyi replied.

"Lord Yang, can you tell the emperor, we don't want to go anywhere, we just want to follow the emperor." The woman in the car said.

"This is an order from the emperor himself."

As soon as Yang Congyi's words came out, the car immediately became quiet.

Half an hour later, the running carriage came to a halt in a deserted wilderness.

"My lord, is this the right place?" The guard asked in a low voice.

Yang Congyi looked around and saw the barren grass not far away, so he said: "This place is okay, and it will be thrown directly into the grass over there for a while." ”

After speaking, he turned his head and glanced at the coachman, and said in a low voice: "If a few women are easy to handle, dispose of them first." ”

"Yes." Without hesitation, the guards took the order.

The two coachmen were quickly led into the grass, and a moment later the guard walked out of the grass with his bloody knife.

When the guards approached, Yang Congyi glanced at him and ordered him to finish them off quickly, so that he could go back to his life.

The guard received the order, raised his legs and walked towards a carriage behind.

Just after he passed by Yang Congyi, Yang Congyi turned around and stepped forward, and with a wave of the dagger in his sleeve, he cut his throat from behind.

"I'm sorry, but there are some secrets that no one can know." Yang Congyi looked at the guards who were clutching their throats, their faces were full of pain, and they said softly.

The guard, whose throat had been cut, fell to the ground and quickly lost his breath.

Yang Congyi picked up the guard's knife, and then dragged him into the barren grass not far away.

Back in front of the carriage, Yang Congyi opened the door curtain with a knife: "Get out of the car." ”

"What's wrong, Lord Yang?" Three young women in ordinary clothes in the car, looking at the bloody knife, their faces were full of shock, and they involuntarily hid in the car, and one of the slightly more courageous women asked with courage and trembling.

"Something's wrong, get out of the car!" Yang Congyi said.

The three women did not dare to ask any more questions, and flinched and got out of the carriage.

Then Yang Congyi picked up his knife and came to another carriage a zhang away, picked up the door curtain and said, "Something happened, get out of the car." ”

When they were young, the five women found a large patch of blood on the ground, gathered together in horror, their legs trembling, and they could not move.

"Spare me, sir! Please, do well, let me go, I will be a cow and a horse for you in the future! One of the women fell to her knees, tears rolling down her cheeks.

The other women also collapsed to the ground and began to beg for mercy, begging to be spared.

"Do you know who is going to kill you?" Yang Congyi saw several weak women like this, and his heart suddenly softened, and he wanted to kill them, but he hesitated.

"Aren't you an adult?" A woman asked, cautiously.

"No, of course not me. Think about it, if Wan Yanliang really wants to send you back to Bianjing, won't he send more people to escort you? You have been captured by rebellion, he is the Emperor of Dajin, how can you be a person who has been contaminated by rebels, even if you are clean, once you go back, you will inevitably gossip, but his reputation will be ruined. He is the emperor, and there is no shortage of women, so what else do you want? Yang Congyi looked at the five weak women, there was a trace of pity in his heart, and the knife in his hand was really a little unbearable.

"We are innocent, they haven't even touched us with a finger, wronged, beg the adults to call the shots for us!" As soon as the women heard this, they quickly defended themselves and tried to prove their innocence.

"It's useless, those rebellious people are dead, they are running, if they can't catch it, they release some news about you, where will you put your bright face? It's better for him that you're dead. After Yang Congyi finished speaking, he raised the knife in his hand.

When the five women saw the bloody knife raised, their faces changed greatly, and they knelt on the ground and cried: "I beg the lord to spare our lives, we are willing to be cows and horses and serve the lord!" Please, my lord, let us go, and let us do whatever we want in the future! I beg my lord......"

Yang Congyi looked at the five weak women who were crying on their knees, tightened the knife in their hands, and after several attempts, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but finally couldn't do it.

"Okay, you can't go back to Yangzhou City, and if you go back, you will die, come with me, I will give you a chance to live." Yang Congyi put away the knife in his hand.

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! From now on, we will be adults, oxen and horses, serving adults! As soon as they heard that there was a chance to live, the five women thanked each other and promised to cling to and entrust their lives.

"Get in the car and follow me." Yang Congyi waved his horsewhip, drove one carriage away, and turned to another carriage.

When the five women heard this, they immediately dragged their limp legs, hurriedly got into the carriage, and squeezed into a carriage.

With a wave of the horsewhip, urging the horse to leave, Yang Congyi drove the carriage and continued to the east.

Half an hour later, the carriage came to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, where the Jin army was stationed.

Yang Congyi indicated to the defenders that he wanted a boat, and then boarded the boat with five women and headed south along the canal.

An hour later, the boat crossed the canal to the Yangtze River.

"My lord, we can't go forward, the warships of the Song people are too powerful, and once they enter the Yangtze River, it will be dangerous." Seeing that the adults on the ship had no new orders, the team leader opened his mouth to remind.

"You've heard about the big events that happened in the camp in Guazhou, right?" Yang Congyi asked.

"I heard." The squad leader replied carefully.

"The army will soon retreat north, and the official will go to the other side of the Yangtze River to probe the Song court, and then discuss the renegotiation of peace. Armistice and peace, this is a big deal, the Song people will not be unfavorable to us, rest assured, there will be no danger to life, hurry up and cross the river! Yang Congyi explained.

"Yes, sir!" When the team leader heard that he was about to retreat north, he was immediately overjoyed.

After a few moments, the boat picked up speed and headed for the middle of the river.

Not long after, before the ship reached the center of the river, it was targeted by a Great Song Dynasty warship and approached directly.

The soldiers of the Jin Army on the ship were very nervous, and immediately slowed down, not daring to continue forward.

A quarter of an hour later, the Great Song warship flying the apricot yellow flag appeared ten zhang away.

The soldiers of the Great Song warship, who were originally on guard and ready to attack at any time, suddenly saw a piece of white cloth raised on the opposite ship, and when they heard an order, they put down their bows and crossbows one after another.
