Chapter 372: Beheading

When Yang Huilin heard that Li Mao asked to see him, she didn't want to see her, but suddenly changed her mind and decided to meet Li Mao and talk to him.

The guards took Li Mao and Xibao to an inconspicuous side hall in the backyard, where Yang Huilin, who was full of fear and anxiety, lived three nights and nights these days, and her heart was full of illusions of persecution.

In just more than ten days, Yang Huilin seemed to have aged ten years all of a sudden, her face was tired, her eyes were heavy, she was out of breath when she spoke, and her body was full of the twilight of the dying.

There is a lone lamp in the side hall, it is deserted, Yang Huilin is not to save lamp oil, he is afraid of seeing the light now, and he is even more afraid that he will be in the light and let his enemies peep into it.

Yang Huilin had a pile of documents in front of him, he lifted his pale and haggard face from the papers, and glanced at Li Mao with red eyes that were dripping blood, but he didn't say anything.

The two guards carefully searched Li Mao's body and found no weapons.

The two of them looked at Xibao, and their eyes lit up. In the hot summer weather, Xibao was dressed thinly, and his convex and concave figure made the two guards shine with evil eyes.

One hand pressed on Xibao's waist, slid downward, slid over his waist and hips, touched both legs, and reached his heels.

The other hand starts from the waist and goes up, and the scenery along the way is beautiful, and you can't stop.

Xi Bao's face turned from white to blue, and then to black, and when the excited groping hand slid to the sensitive area of his chest, Xi Bao made a decisive move, she reached out and grabbed the black hand, twisted her body, waved her elbow, and the groping pig hand and his master fell to the ground silently.

The action is not dashing, but it is full of lethality.

The guards were shocked, their swords unsheathed, and their bows drawn their arrows.

Yang Huilin was very tired of these senseless entanglements, he waved his hand anxiously, and Zhang He, the soldiers and horses standing behind him, immediately shouted and ordered everyone to retreat.

Yang Huilin pulled left and right, and the documents on the table fell to the ground, these things, he had never disdained before, but recently because he felt that there was no credible and usable person around him, he had to be hard-headed, patient, and review one by one.

These things consumed too much energy and too much enthusiasm, and smeared layer after layer of gray color on his already sensitive and tired body and mind, and Yang Huilin was already overwhelmed.

"You came this time to persuade me to submit to the court?"

Yang Huilin's voice was hoarse and terrifying, as if it came from the crack of the old coffin in the wild grave.

"It's too late to stop."

"It's too late, it's a death to stop it, do you think your master will let me go?"

"Stop at this moment, 100,000 people in Xiazhou can be saved, and the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers can be saved, at least you can be rewarded with a whole corpse."

"Whole corpses? Yang is not rare, it is nothing more than a death, what is the difference between a whole corpse and a severed head? ”

"If you are willing to take a step back, Li Mao is willing to guarantee the safety of Mrs. Yang and several sons with his life."

"It's hard to worry about it, but it doesn't have to."

Zhang Hesenran, the soldier and horse envoy in the ya, who was standing on the side, said: "Madame and several sons have committed suicide by taking poison, and the court is unkind, so Xiazhou can only meet each other in arms." ”

Yang Huilin poured herself a glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, and poured another glass, but this time she choked on it halfway, and when she coughed, her neck was exposed, and Li Mao winked at the person opposite.

The man's hand rose and fell, and Yang Huilin's head was different.

The guards on the left and right were shocked when they saw this, and they screamed, and the guards in the courtyard swarmed in, and the squeaky sound of the bow pierced the eardrum, which was terrifying, and dozens of bows were aimed at Li Mao and Xibao together, this battle, Xibao was a little dumbfounded.

No military orders are allowed to do it without permission, this is the quality that a veteran should have, and dozens of people looked at their only commander, carrying a bloody knife to kill Yang Huilin's new soldier and horse envoy Zhang He.

Zhang He was like a cast of iron, and the generals were losing ground and looking at each other.

"Take the secret edict of the Son of Heaven."

Li Mao softly reminded Xibao who was in a daze, Xibao woke up, and her cheeks were red, but she was shocked by the scene in front of her. Reaching out to the arms to dig out the secret edict, panicked, one accidentally ripped off the clothes, a pair of jade rabbits jumped out, in the broken peak fort when Xibao and the man mixed all day long, the chest of the two lumps of meat bumps in the way, then wrapped with a cloth belt, crossed the river and entered the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty after seeing that the Han women here are covered with chests, and the women here are all beautiful with big breasts, which touched Xibao quite a lot, she decisively cut the cloth strip of the chest, replaced with a piece of embroidered bright red peony flowers.

The bright red peony on the beauty's chest really brightened the eyes of many people, and the sound of swallowing saliva came and went.

The border troops struggled on the line of death all year round, and they had long seen through life and death, so although the situation was tense, they could still appreciate the beauty of peonies with great interest.

Xibao was shocked and angry, and her face was red and hot, but now that she had come to her senses, she knew that the situation was critical and she couldn't be reckless, so she couldn't bear it, and just glared at the guards fiercely.

If it is a beauty, it is all amorous, and Xibao's fierce gaze not only failed to scare off the pretender, but in exchange for a louder swallowing sound.

Li Mao coughed and reminded in a low voice, "Turn your back." ”

Xibao hurriedly stuffed the secret edict into Li Mao's hand, turned back, covered his chest with his arms, and was busy sorting out his dress.

Li Mao and Zhang He exchanged glances, Zhang He stood on the side of the guards with a bloody knife, and bowed to Li Mao: "The soldiers of Xiazhou respectfully receive the holy oracle. Li Mao held up the secret edict, his eyes swept over everyone quickly, and said in a deep voice: "Xuan Tianzi's secret edict." ”

All the guards looked at each other, including Zhang He's henchmen, looked around and shouted: "Resisting the decree and disrespecting it is a serious crime to exterminate the Nine Clans." Yan Yan put down his weapon, knelt on one knee, and bowed his head.

The crowd threw away their weapons and knelt down to receive the decree.

One of them was not convinced, and stood still, Zhang He shouted: "Do you want to rebel? ”

Without waiting for the man to argue, he slashed his hand and slashed him to the ground.

Seeing that Zhang He had convinced everyone, Li Mao coughed, and unhurriedly recited the secret edict, and after reading it, he was afraid that everyone would not understand what he meant, and explained in the vernacular: "Those who raise troops against the imperial court will have only one end, and that is death!" Now the culprit Yang Huilin is dead, you and other coercion don't care, if you can help me kill Yang Huilin's remnants, it will be a great achievement, glory and wealth, at your fingertips. ”

Everyone was overjoyed, and someone asked: "If you kill Yang Renlin, how many officials can you reward?" ”

Li Mao said: "Six products." ”

The guard said: "The sixth grade is too small, at least the fifth grade." ”

The crowd echoed in unison, shouting noisily.

Li Mao Zhengse said: "The imperial court has its own rules and regulations, how can it be tortured and rewarded indiscriminately? ”

The guard's words were originally a temptation, if Li Mao agreed, it showed that his sincerity was insufficient, and now seeing that Li Mao and Li Mao were unwilling to be accommodating, Fang knew that what he said was true, so he shouted in unison: "A rotten life is very good to take care of, fight hard, go to seek this great wealth, and use him well for a lifetime." ”

Li Mao said: "Since you help the court to fight for thieves, you must obey the laws of the court, plunder the people's property, harass the people, and women, it is a capital crime, you can hear it clearly." ”

This is a military discipline that must be reaffirmed before every war, and as for the leniency of implementation, it depends entirely on the specific situation, Li Mao has no soldiers, and it is such a sensitive period at the moment, so reiterating military discipline is just a formality, just talking, how dare he really implement it? These veterans all knew that there were benefits to be gained, and everyone was eager to try.

Li Mao nodded to Zhang He, and Zhang He immediately issued a specific order: "Zhang Jingwu and Zhu Balai led the left team to capture Yang Renlin immediately, and if he resists, he will be killed; Chen Gong and Zhao Wang led the horse team to capture Yang Honghuan and Zheng Dakun, and if they resisted, they would be killed. Huo Tong led his gang to capture Chang Rongzhen, if he resisted, he would be killed; Gesu went to occupy the bow and arrow storehouse......"

After the assignment was completed, everyone acted separately, and Li Mao didn't see Han Yi and Hu Chuan, so he knew where they were. Zhang He said: "They stayed outside as suspicious soldiers. ”

While speaking, someone brought a huge Kong Ming lantern, and Zhang He said: "Raise the lamp and send a signal." ”

Kong Ming lantern rising, the east of the city, the north of the city, the west of the city suddenly caught fire at the same time, beating gongs and drums, the crowd was noisy, the garrison stationed inside and outside the city of Xiazhou, I don't know what happened, I can only stand still.

Time passed minute by minute, but it was just a cup of tea, but Xibao was already sweating, as if after two or three years, she straightened her clothes, tightened her belt, she pulled out Yang Huilin's saber and held it in her hand, not leaving Li Mao's left and right, loyal and jealous.

Li Mao and Zhang He had been preparing for this mutiny for a long time, calculating every detail, repeatedly deducing the consequences of each step, repeatedly evaluating the possible results, and preparing different response plans.

It looks like everything is perfect and flawless. But when the cards really showdowned, the hearts of the two became empty again.

There is a saying that people are not as good as heaven, and such a large-scale action, if there is a problem in any link, the consequences of the change are unpredictable, this is the will of God, not human power.

All that can be done now is to be patient, wait for success, wait for failure.

After a cup of tea, Huo Tong excitedly carried Chang Rongzhen's head and ran to ask for credit, speaking of killing Chang Rongzhen, it can be regarded as a twist and turn, first Huo Tong relied on a sharp spirit, killed Chang Rongzhen's house, and killed Chang Rongzhen's servants with a knife.

rushed all the way into the inner hall and pulled Chang Rongzhen's wife out of the wall, but Chang Rongzhen could not be found.

Chang Rongzhen has an outhouse outside, and often sneaks over to reunite, but the fatal thing is that no one knows where Chang He's outhouse is.

Chang Rongzhen's original partner cried and made a fuss, but he couldn't say why, Huo Tong was anxious, grabbed her hair, and cut her throat. was angry and wanted to kill his whole family, but Chang Rongzhen came back by himself, carrying a sword in his hand to avenge his wife.

Although Chang Rongzhen is a military official, he is not a military general, and the literati sword is not as sharp as the horizontal sword.

But Huo Tong is not in a hurry to ask him to die, Chang Rongzhen is greedy for money and lustful, and his family is rich in wealth and women, but the old boy is meticulous and hides things better than rats, Huo Tong needs to dig out the good things from his mouth little by little.

Because of this, Huo Tong delayed a little time, but he still got the first credit.

Li Mao was overjoyed, and immediately announced that Huo Tong would be promoted as the captain of the guard from the right prison of Liupin.

In order to control the whole army, Yang Huilin only issued five feather arrows per person in each army, except for the pro-army in the Yanei, and the rest of the bows and arrows must have his warrant to receive them from the bow and arrow warehouse. Without bows and arrows, it is like a tiger without its claws, which can undoubtedly effectively curb the stupidity of the pro-Yang generals in the Xiazhou garrison.

But bad news also kept coming, Zhang Jingwu and Zhu Balai led the left team to capture Yang Renlin, but they pounced, Yang Renlin left his wife and disappeared. Yang Renlin and his brother Yang Huilin sang red face and white face in Xiazhou, and they were quite well-connected, Zhang He was worried that he would incite the garrison to rebel, and his face turned pale with nervousness for a while. Li Mao smiled disapprovingly, and said: "The defeat is like a mountain, even if Yang Huilin is resurrected, it is difficult to turn the tide, not to mention that he is such a lost dog?" ”
