When the commanders and officials in Yangzhou City saw Yan Liang, they immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed in shock, and complained that the rebellion had nothing to do with them, and they only got the news that there was a change in Guazhou around noon!

At this time, Wan Yanliang listened to Yang Congyi's suggestion, and did not go on a killing spree, but let them continue to stay in the city, continue to garrison, and not leave the city.

Soon after, dozens of cavalry troops left the city, with Wan Yanliang's handwritten edict to go to the Guazhou camp, and summoned the commanders of all armies to come to Yangzhou City to face the saint.

At night, the lights inside and outside the city of Yangzhou are bright, the bonfires on the city are blazing, and the torches under the city form a fire dragon.

The temporary camp in the city, the generals are sincerely afraid, see the Dajin Emperor!

Wan Yan Liang sat in the hall and glanced at the kneeling generals of His Highness one by one.

After a moment of silence, he said loudly: "Regardless of whether any of you are involved in the rebellion, if you can come to Yangzhou City tonight, I will forgive you for your crimes!" Get up! ”

"Thank you for the emperor's grace not to kill, from now on, the minister will definitely follow the emperor wholeheartedly, shattered his bones, and smeared his liver and brains!" When the generals heard this, they were exempted from responsibility, and immediately knelt down to thank the emperor for his kindness, and each showed his loyalty.

"Then who can tell me who the rebels are?" Wan Yan Liang was dumbfounded.

Someone immediately reported: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that it was Yan Yuanyi, the secretary of the military department, Shan Shousu, the chief of the Wusheng army, and Meng'an Tang Kuo Wuye and others, who led 50,000 or 60,000 people to attack the camp of Guishan Temple at dawn this morning. Fortunately, the emperor is not in the camp, otherwise it would be unimaginable! ”

"Oh, who else but them?" Yan Liang asked again.

"There should be Yan Yuanyi's son Wang Xiang, after hearing that Yan Yuanyi led the rebels to attack the camp, the Xiao cavalry army commanded Da Pan to lead the troops to the rescue, but was dissuaded by Wang Xiang, saying that the emperor was gone, and it was too late, so he stopped the rescue operation." A general hurriedly replied.

"Xiao Cavalry Dapan? Where is he? Did it come? Wan Yanliang's heart warmed, there was an accident in the camp of Guishan Temple, and there were still people who were willing to save him, he was not alone.

There were dozens of commanders of His Highness, but no one answered, and everyone turned their heads to look around, but there was no trace of him.

Wan Yan Liang's heart trembled, did he not receive the edict, or did he not want to come to face the saint? Or is there something else?

At this time, it is imperative that the rebellion should be quelled as soon as possible, and it does not matter who is more loyal than whom, as long as the rebellion can be quelled, it is the person who can be used.

"Okay, that means that the rebels who launched a rebellion this time and tried to kill me were Wanyan Yuanyi, Tu Shan Shousu, Tang Kuo Wuye, Wang Xiang and others. Now that the rebellion is clear, who wants to arrest them for me? Wan Yanliang's fierce gaze swept over His Highness.

"The minister is willing to take down the rebellion!"

All the generals asked for their lives almost at the same time, no one was far behind, no one dared to lag behind, if the emperor was unhappy, maybe it would be a disaster of killing his head immediately.

"Okay, you guys go together! Remember, I want the living, not the dead! "Wan Yan Liang doesn't believe it, only three or five people such as Wan Yan Yuanyi and Wang Xiang participated in the rebellion, if they can capture the camp with 350,000 people, then the 450,000 troops are all decorations?

"Obey orders!"

The generals commanded in unison.

"Go! Before noon tomorrow, I will see the rebel kneel before me! Wan Yanliang's eyes widened angrily.

The generals were ordered to leave, walked out of the palace gate, and as soon as the cold wind blew, they realized that they had already sweated through their clothes, and they couldn't help but secretly rejoice, and then they didn't say much, and immediately went out of the city, and led the troops back to the Guazhou camp at night.

Guazhoudu camp, a certain camp, is also in a state of tension and panic at this time.

"My lord, Wan Yanliang is really alive, is he really in Yangzhou City?" There was an inquiry from the commander-in-chief.

"It's all rumors, Wan Yanliang, who has done a lot of evil, has died in Guishan Temple this morning, where can he still appear in Yangzhou City? Either the Song people set up suspicious formations, or some diehard loyalists in the army used his name to collect the army, and then returned to Bianjing to support Wan Yan Liang's son Wan Yan Guangying. At this time, we must be absolutely calm, we have killed Yan Liang, and his diehard loyalists and Wan Yan Guangying are enemies, if they gain power, it will definitely be us who will die. Since he killed Yan Liang and decided to return to Liaoyang to join the new emperor Wan Yan Yong, there is no room for repentance! Think about it, with his beautiful temperament, just because of differences of opinion, how many ministers he killed, let alone attacking his camp? If there is a father, there must be a son, Wan Yan Liang is extremely cruel, how good can his son be? So I advise you, hurry up and dispel the idea of luck, for us, there is only one way now, lead the army back to the north, and defect to Yan Yong, if you can kill Yan Guangying by the way, of course, it is the best, and when you go to Yan Yong, you will have another gift! Wanyan Yuanyi stopped the rumors, cleared up the doubts, and coerced everyone to go all the way to the dark.

Tang Kuo Wuye said peacefully: "What the Metropolitan Governor said is that we have already killed Yan Liang, and it is impossible to turn back!" Now all the rumors are coming, just to shake the morale of the army and create panic. Some people want to die and follow Yan Liang and want to be martyred for him, so we can fulfill them, and when it is dawn, we will clean them up one by one. When we go back to Bianjing to kill his son and prepare a big gift to the new emperor of Liaoyang, which of us can't be promoted to a few levels? Everyone has the opportunity to be promoted to the rank of knight, why bother to die for the merciless Wanyan Liang! ”

Tushan Shousu also said: "Yes, it is imperative that we immediately quell the rumors and unify the whole army to return north." And if you want to quell the rumors, it's not enough to rely on one mouth, Wan Yanliang's diehards must be killed, they are now in Yangzhou City, I propose to immediately send a large army to surround Yangzhou City and wipe them out! Then we will lead the army back to the north with peace of mind, otherwise along the way, they will make a fuss today, and a fuss tomorrow, it is estimated that before they return to Yanjing, hundreds of thousands of troops will be dispersed, and then what will we take to meet the new emperor? ”

"What if Wan Yan Liang is really in Yangzhou City, what should we do? I heard that dozens of military commanders have taken people to Yangzhou, so there shouldn't be a holiday, right? The leader asked.

The people who are hesitating now are all people who did not directly participate in the rebellion and attacked the camp of Kameyama Temple, and they are vacillating at this time. Although they did not directly participate in the rebellion, when Guishan Temple was attacked, they did not have any intention of rescuing, and it was precisely because of this that they entered the camp of Wanyan Yuanyi and others.

It's just that at this time, they still have some luck psychology, hoping that Wan Yanliang is still alive, hoping that nothing will happen, because they did not participate in the rebellion and did nothing.

"Wan Yanliang is already dead, and he is burned to ashes! Take 10,000 steps back, even if it wasn't him who killed him in the camp, do you think that if you go to him now, he won't kill you? Where were you when the Kameyama Temple camp was attacked? Do you dare to tell him that you are watching in the dark and not moving? Do you dare to say that you went to the rescue? If he lives, you will definitely die! You should be glad we killed him! Tang Kuo Wuye threatened loudly.

"What about the dozens of troops gathered in Yangzhou City? It is estimated that there are more than 100,000 of them, and it is really a lot of trouble to avenge Wan Yan Liang. Another general asked.

"What are you afraid of, they only have a hundred thousand people, but we have three or four hundred thousand troops, and the number of troops is three or four times that of them, why should they fight us? Early tomorrow morning, we will go to Yangzhou City together to see if they want to live or die. If you want to live, you quickly flee back to Bianjing and go to find Yan Guangying, but in the end, you can't escape death, if you dare us to face each other, tomorrow will be their death! Tomorrow I will give them another chance, whether they want to die or live, and give them another choice. Those people in Yangzhou City, their army is much smaller than ours, and their combat effectiveness is not as high as ours, so there is no need to worry at all. Wanyan Yuanyi further demagoguery.

"My lord, there seem to be many people in the camp in Guazhou who have not gone to Yangzhou or joined us, and there are more than 100,000 people in this part, are they hidden dangers? Do you want to win them over first, or take a few first, and make an example of them? "Another general asked a question.

"That's a real problem. They don't care about Wanyan Liang's life or death, and they don't seem to care too much about the new emperor of Liaoyang, I don't know if they have another candidate in their hearts. Now these hundreds of thousands of people are standing still in the Guazhoudu camp, which is not good news for us, if they copy our back road when we go to attack Yangzhou, then we will be in danger! "Plain and conservative agreed.

Wan Yan Yuanyi was silent for a moment, and then said: "I'll go talk to these people, no matter what they think, they are not all the way to Wan Yan Liang's followers, they can be fought for." At present, we have not returned to the north, and Wan Yan Guangying in Bianjing and those who follow Wan Yan Liang are all a threat to us, and it is possible to cooperate with them. In my judgment, they should at most watch the play on the side as before, and they will not intervene in our fight with those people in Yangzhou City right now. ”

"What the adults said is reasonable, they are hiding in the camp, and now the situation is not clear, how can they run out and cause trouble, or focus on Yangzhou City, how to solve them, so that they can go back to the north with peace of mind." Tang Kuo Wuye should be and said.

While everyone was discussing, a guard suddenly came in to report: "My lord, a large number of troops have appeared in the direction of Yangzhou City, and they are coming towards the camp!" ”

"The people of Yangzhou City took the initiative to attack?" Some generals were shocked.

"What's the panic, there are only 100,000 people in total, how many can come?" Wanyan Yuanyi is worthy of being an important minister, and he is still calm at this time.

After he looked around at the generals, he ordered in a loud voice: "Everyone, the enemy is coming, and this battle must not be lost!" You go back to reorganize the army at once, and we will fight the enemy outside the camp and decide the victory or defeat in one battle! ”

"Okay, it's a battle to decide!" Tang Kuo Wuye took the lead, and the generals responded one after another.

In the night, outside the camp in Guazhou, a scuffle soon began.
