It only took a little more than a day for the messenger sent by Yang Wu to reach here, and at the same time, Tian Yan's head was also reached.
When he saw Tian Yan's somewhat hideous head, Yang Xingmi's first reaction was not overjoyed, but burst into tears.
The two have known each other since childhood, they are fellow villagers, and they are about brothers, and they have a deep friendship. Later, when he was a little older, he and Tai Meng, Liu Wei, Tao Ya, Li Yu and others took advantage of the chaos in the world to establish a small gang in Luzhou, Yang Xingmi because he was the oldest among the people, and he was sincere and extremely righteous, so he was convinced by the rest of the brothers and was pushed to be the leader of this small gang.
And Tian Yan because of his Yaxing and many strategies, in that era, everyone was still ignorant and did not know how to train the army, how to expand the power, how to lead the troops to fight, it was Tian Yan who gave advice to Yang Xingmi behind the scenes, so that Yang Xingmi's small gang was able to get through the initial difficulties and began to expand its strength. And Tian Yan has become more and more prestigious in this small gang and has become the second-in-command second only to Yang Xingmi.
Later, they were recruited as soldiers, because they offended their bosses, and were assigned to Ningxia to guard the border, where Yang Xingmi met Li Shenfu, a native of Hebei, who was also guarding Ningxia and was only a small soldier, and convinced him and absorbed him into his own small gang, so that he would follow him in the future.
Later, after Yang Xingmi returned to Luzhou with his small gang, because the boss who offended him was unwilling to let them go, he simply killed the officials and rebelled, claiming to be the commander of the eight battalions.
And Tian Yan was also appointed as the second best of Ma Bujun after Yang Xingmi because of his great contribution to the small gang, which can be regarded as officially establishing his second-in-command status.
After that, Zhu Yanshou, Xu Wen, Zhang Xun, Li Jian, Liu Jin, Wang Maozhang and a series of later Huainan generals came to vote one after another, coupled with the loyalty of a large number of outstanding scribes such as Yuan Xi, Dai Yougui, Gao Mian, etc., Yang Xingmi's strength expanded rapidly, and he gradually got rid of his dependence on Tian Yan.
However, at that time, the relationship between the two was still very good, and they worked together for a common cause. They sent troops everywhere together, occupied several states around Luzhou, and later defeated the armies of Bi Shiduo and Qin Yan together, and captured Yangzhou for the first time.
However, not long after the capture of Yangzhou, the Caizhou general Sun Ru came to Huainan with his cannibalistic army, and under Sun Ru's attack, Yang Xingmi could not resist it, so he had to retreat to Luzhou. At this time, Yuan Xi made an important suggestion to him, that is, to attack Xuanzhou and use Xuanzhou as a foundation to fight against Sun Ru.
Tian Yan led the army to successfully carry out this operation, defeated Zhao Qi, the assassin of Xuanzhou at that time, and conquered Xuanzhou City. And Zhou Ben, Li Decheng and other generals of Zhao Qi also defected to Yang Xingmi during this period.
Later, Yang Xingmi took Xuanzhou as the foundation, quickly occupied the surrounding states, and expanded his power.
However, while this series of victories greatly increased Yang Xingmi's strength, there were also signs of internal division. Tian Yan felt that he had contributed the most in this series of battles, but because Yang Xingmi's subordinates had more and more talents, and they were becoming more and more sufficient, he felt that his position was threatened by other generals, and began to form gangs in the army.
And Yang Xingmi no longer trusted Tian Yan as much as before, and later even took the opportunity of Tian Yan's defeat to remove him from his post in the battle with Sun Rujun. It's a pity that at this time, Tian Yan had a deep foundation in the army, and it didn't take long for Yang Xingmi to reinstate Tian Yan at the request of his generals.
After Yang Xingmi defeated Sun Ru and unified Huainan, in order to commend Tian Yan's merits and avoid the immediate split of Huainan, Yang Xingmi appointed Tian Yan as the assassin of Xuanzhou, and later further became the envoy of Ningguo.
After each became a party to the festival, the original friendship between the two became more and more estranged with the struggle for power, which eventually led to a complete break today.
Yang Xingmi sat in a daze, thinking about the past, looking at the familiar and strange head of the old man in front of him, at this time, what betrayal hatred, what power struggle, what deceit, all of it didn't matter, this overlord of Huainan cried like a child at this time.
Although he hated Tian Yan's rebellion, Tian Yan was his old brother for many years after all, and now that he is dead, how can he not be grieved with his love and righteousness character.
"King, King......"
On the side, Yan Keqiu and Gao Mian shouted softly, making Yang Xingmi gradually come back to his senses.
"Tian Yan is my brother, although he rebelled against him and committed a great crime without forgiveness, but now that he is dead, with his past merits, it is enough to pardon his family."
"The edict of the orphan, Tian Yan's mother is old, let her go back to Luzhou to retire, and all parties must not be disturbed. The rest of Tian Yan's family members were also pardoned and demoted to concubines. Yang Xingmi suppressed his grief and ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes." Yan Keqiu bowed to the two of them.
In addition, the head of Tian Yan was sewn together with his body and buried with the rites of the common people. By the way, there is also Kang Ru, who was alone in the past, and made Kang Ru die, but now Tian Yu is defeated, and he should bury Kang Ru with a good life. Mr. Yan, can Kang Ru have any descendants left? ”
"After that, they were all killed by Tian Yan."
Yang Xingmi was silent, and sighed after a while: "It's a pity." ”
"Now that Xuanzhou has been decided, and the rebellion has been quelled, how should the meritorious generals reward the king should also be decided, right?" Gao Mian on the side hurriedly asked.
"Don't rush yet!" Yang Xingmi shook his head and said: "This time to counter-insurgency, except for Shouzhou, which is presided over by Li Chengsi, and Lone has been rewarded, the rest of Runzhou and Xuanzhou are all presided over by Wu'er. Therefore, this time to reward the meritorious soldiers, let Wu'er make his own decision. ”
Yan Keqiu and Gao Mian glanced at each other, obviously a little surprised, but he didn't expect that he even planned to let Yang Wu decide this kind of thing, it seemed that he wanted to help Yang Wu further control the army.
But this is also a good thing, the most important thing in the troubled times now is the army, and Yang Wu can control the army in advance It will also be of great help to him to take the throne in the future, and it will be of great benefit to maintain the stability of Huainan.
Yang Xingmi looked at Gao Mian and the others, and continued: "The two gentlemen have been by Lone's side, and they should know that Lonely's health has not been good recently, and he is still old in the end. Fortunately, Wu'er performed well and did not disappoint Lone, so in the future, Lone will gradually transfer the power of Huainan to him, and this time is just the beginning. In the future, if there is a case, you should also be a good student to assist him, and you must not be lazy. ”
"Obey your orders!" Yan Keqiu and the two hurriedly bowed down.
