"Thank you for the emperor's kindness, I'll talk about these things later, let's see how to stop the rebellion first, if the emperor loses his life, my Hubu Shangshu will be a convenient thing in their eyes."

Yang Congyi hurriedly waved his hand, he didn't plan to really go to the Jin Kingdom to be an official, and he couldn't believe it all if he finished Yan Liang.

"What Brother Yang said is that it is important to thwart the rebellion first. I wonder what Brother Yang thinks? Wan Yanliang invited the other party to sit down.

The two sat down one after another, Yang Congyi thought for a while and asked, "Does the emperor have a guard army that he can absolutely trust and personally control?" In such a delicate situation, once someone rebels, probably the vast majority of the army will choose to wait and see, and when they find out which side has the absolute upper hand, they will join which, so the emperor must have an army in his hands that is enough to crush the rebel forces! ”

"Don't hide it from Brother Yang, my personal guard army is the most elite army of Dajin, but now it is not in the camp, I left the camp at noon today and went to Taizhou, and I can come back tomorrow evening at the earliest. Aside from the hard army, I have not personally commanded any other army, including the nearby Pro-Guards. Now that I'm really alone, what should I do? Wan Yanliang sighed.

"Pro-Guard Hard-Armed? Since it is a pro-guard army, why do you want to go to Taizhou instead of guarding the camp? Yang Congyi asked.

"The commander of the hard army, Agunai, said that he wanted to take the hard army to take Taizhou and get some benefits for the soldiers."

"Since it is a camp guard, there must be a reason for leaving suddenly. Maybe the hard army to attack Taizhou is also instigated, then the people who instigate him must be people who want to conspire to rebel, they are afraid of defending the hard army, so they will instigate them to go to Taizhou to reap benefits, and after the defense of the camp is weak, they will have the opportunity to kill them. If I can't find other troops to protect the camp, I suggest leaving immediately, go to Taizhou to find out who is plotting to rebel, and then lead the troops back to the camp to arrest the rebels and ask them for guilt. ”

"Go to the hard army? If they can listen to others instigating them to leave the camp suddenly, and create opportunities for the rebels, will they not participate in the rebellion? Isn't it self-defeating to go to them at this time? ”

"No, if the hard army is involved in the rebellion, why should they lead the troops to Taizhou at the time of the rebellion, and directly win the emperor in one fell swoop, isn't it good to take the first credit? Why give the first credit to others? There is only one explanation for the departure of the hard army, that is, they were lured and deceived by profits, and they were deliberately transferred out of the camp. At the moment, since there is no other army to trust, finding a hard army is definitely the best choice. ”

"What you say makes sense, but I'm still a little worried."

"You can personally command the hard army, what are you worried about? It's already very late at night, maybe the rebels will start a rebellion immediately, and if they don't leave, when the rebels rush over and surround the camp, I'm afraid it's too late to leave! Without further ado, make a decision sooner rather than later! ”

Who is a loyal minister and who is a rebel minister, it is difficult to determine, at present, it seems that there is indeed no other safer way than to find a hard army, Wan Yanliang finally nodded after a fierce struggle in his heart.

Then the two dressed up in disguise, pretended to be hard military captains and chamberlains, and left the camp of Guishan Temple on the grounds of "being ordered to Taizhou to pass the order", rode horses at night, and went straight to Taizhou.

It was night, at dawn, the military department Shangshu and the head of the Shenwu army Wan Yan Yuanyi, the head of the Wusheng army Shan Shousu, Meng'an Tang Kuo Wuye, Mou Ke Lu Bao, Lou Xue, Wen Du Changshou and others led more than 30,000 soldiers to attack the camp of Guishan Temple.

When the rebels entered the camp, they killed anyone they saw, from the guards to the chamberlain, they did not leave anyone alive, and within a quarter of an hour, there was no one to resist in the camp.

"My lord, I'll hide inside after Yan Liang!" Meng'an Tang Kuo Wuye stretched out his hand and pointed to a house five feet away.

"Kill!" Wanyan Yuanyi did not hesitate and immediately ordered.

"And what about his concubine? Killed too? Tang Kuo Wuye's eyes rolled, with bad intentions.

"Don't kill women, lest you be vindicated."

"Okay, that's exactly what I want." Tang Kuo Wuye said with a smile.

"I advise you, don't beat their ideas, I think women are everywhere, they are concubines after all, and they will be sent back to the north after the matter is completed, and listen to the fate of the new emperor." Wan Yan Yuanyi warned coldly.

"Okay." Tang Kuo Wuye sighed helplessly.

Wanyan Liang has so many beautiful concubines, if you can kiss Fangze and sleep with one or two, it will be worth dying, it is not easy to succeed in the public of the imperial court, and it is a long way to return to the north, there will always be a chance.

Tang Kuo Wuye thought of this, and felt a lot better, and immediately yelled: "Kill!" The rebellious ministers and thieves let us die, and we can't let him live! Kill him, and I'll take you to Liaoyang to join the new emperor! Kill! ”

After shouting to urge the horse forward, before he could get close to the house, the black rain of arrows fell first.

After a few rounds of arrow rain, he shouted to stop.

Wan Yanliang's house, there was no movement.

"Search! Drag Wan Yan Liang out! Tang Kuo Wuye gave an order, and hundreds of soldiers rushed in with knives.

After a while, a general came out and reported in a low voice: "General, I didn't find anything inside, only the chamberlain and the maid!" ”

"What? Look again! It's such a big place, where can you run, dig three feet into the ground, and find him! Tang Kuo Wuye was shocked.

A quarter of an hour later, the news came, but he still couldn't find Yan Liang, and he disappeared.

Tang Kuo Wuye hurriedly went to Yan Yuanyi and others to discuss countermeasures.

Soon after, the camp of Kameyama Temple began to burn violently in the morning light, and the flames and smoke could be clearly seen from five miles away.

At the same time, a piece of news spread throughout the army: "Wan Yan Liang, who is unscrupulous and obstinate, has died in the fire, and the military department is still the secretary of the military department Wan Yan Yuanyi and the deputy governor of the left leading army, and after the army is reorganized, he will immediately lead the army to return north and defect to the new emperor Wan Yan Yong!" ”

Before the sun rose, Li Tong, the right minister of Shangshu, Guo Anguo, the deputy commander of Zhejiang West Province, Shan Yongnian, the prisoner of the army, Liang Yu, the envoy of the Near Service Bureau, and Daqingshan, the deputy envoy of the Near Service Bureau, were all arrested and then killed.

The 500,000-strong army fell into the panic of the dragons without a leader, and for a while, the rumors were full of rumors, and the pressure on Wanyan Yuanyi, Wang Xiang, Tushan Shousu and others increased greatly.

However, with an army of 500,000 and different thoughts, who would be willing to become a bargaining chip for Wanyan Yuanyi and others to ask for merit from the new emperor?

Just when the camp in Guazhou was in chaos, Yang Congyi and Wan Yanliang galloped all the way and finally arrived outside Taizhou City.

The city of Taizhou has been breached, or it has been taken over by the Jin army, because in addition to the people who were killed, it is rare to see the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty who died in battle, and the defenders are most likely to flee after hearing the news.

The two urged the horse to pass through the unguarded West City Gate and enter the city of Taizhou.

The corpses of the people of the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin army with swords on horseback could be seen everywhere in the city, and all the gates on the street were wide open, apparently having been brutally looted.

Yang Congyi's face was gloomy as water, and his face was no better.

Zongma stopped a group of Jin Jun who had just come out of a compound and had a lot of money in their arms, and said in a deep voice: "Where is Agunai?" Tell him to come to me! ”

Those Jin Jun saw that the people who were blocking the road were rude, and were about to fight back, when suddenly someone knelt on the ground and shouted: "The villain greets the emperor!" ”

The other forbidden soldiers were startled, and when they looked at the person in front of them carefully, their faces immediately changed greatly, and they knelt on the ground and shouted: "The villain greets the emperor!" ”

"Get up! Pass the order down, and the whole army will gather in the west of the city! Wan Yan Liang waved his horsewhip, and his momentum was like a rainbow.

This group of hard-fought soldiers responded to the call, some of them left behind to follow Wan Yanliang, and some of them hurriedly split up to find Shangguan and Agunai.

Not long after, a general led people to gallop, turned over and dismounted three zhang in front of Wan Yan Liang, and then abandoned the horse to come to a zhang away, kneeling and saluting: "Minister Agunai, see the emperor!" ”

Wan Yanliang stared at Agunai kneeling in front of him, and asked in a deep voice, "Agunai, who asked you to attack Taizhou?" ”

Agunai was stunned: "Yesterday, the minister had already made it clear to the emperor, and the emperor agreed, so the minister brought his brothers here." ”

"I'm asking you, who told you that Taizhou has gold and silver treasures, and let you attack Taizhou!" Wan Yanliang's face was gloomy.

"It is Lord Wanyan of the Ministry of War, yesterday morning he told the minister, Taizhou is too close to Yangzhou, still in the hands of the Song people, I am afraid that it is not good for the army to cross the river, he originally planned to send people to Taizhou, but thought of the hard army brothers and the emperor all the way to the south, but failed to make meritorious service, and did not get much reward, so he wanted to give this rare opportunity to the hard army, let us also come to get some benefits, the minister listened to his advice, felt that the hard army has been camping without incident, and it is not that it can not run, and the emperor is on it." Agunai replied in a respectful voice.

"Wanyan Yuanyi!" Wan Yanliang's eyes shrank suddenly, he didn't expect it to be him!

"Why did the emperor come to Taizhou?" Agunai looked at the captain's armor worn by Yan Liang again, and was shocked.

"Agunai, you immediately rectify the hard army and return to Yangzhou with me! Go, give you half an hour! Wan Yanliang did not answer, but ordered directly.

"Minister, obey!" Agunai received the order, and immediately after getting up, he issued several orders in succession, and summoned the whole army to assemble immediately.

Half an hour later, Wan Yanliang, accompanied by Agunai, led 4,500 soldiers of the hard army to ride westward, galloping all the way back to Yangzhou.

But when the large army arrived in Jiangdu County, which was thirty miles away from Yangzhou, the front sentinel sent back the news: "The Guazhou army rebelled, captured the camp of Guishan Temple, and the entire camp was burned. ”

Hearing this news, Agunai was shocked, immediately dismounted and knelt on the ground, kowtowed like a green onion, and swore to take the hard army back to the Guazhou camp to arrest Yan Yuanyi and other rebellious ministers, thieves and rebels, and ask the emperor to punish the crime!

However, Wan Yanliang followed Yang Congyi's advice and did not order Agunai to lead the troops to the camp in Guazhou, but led the army west into Yangzhou together, quietly entered Yangzhou City first, and controlled Yangzhou before making other decisions.

An hour later, the hard army entered the city of Yangzhou, took over the entire Yangzhou, and then summoned the commander of the garrison to face the saint.
