Chapter 33: Controlling Fuzhou (Part II)
Li Hansheng missed a move, which meant that he had failed, and here Zhu Qi reacted, quickly pulled out a long knife, and slashed towards Li Hansheng. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Li Hansheng saw that the knife was coming quickly and urgently, and hurriedly turned over to dodge. At this time, Yang Lian followed in time, a pair of big hands quickly stretched out, and a grappling hand grabbed Li Hansheng and pinned his hands behind him.
Li Hansheng screamed in pain, and when he wanted to resist, his arm hurt so much that he had to let Yang Lian hold his hand.
"Let go of me." Li Hansheng tried to struggle to resist.
Yang Lian pressed his palm and grabbed his fingers, making it difficult for him to exert force. At this time, several commanders and envoys of the Fuzhou army who were good friends with Li Hansheng shouted one after another, "Let him go." ”
"Why do you take people?"
More than a dozen people were about to surround Yang Lian and ask for someone.
Yang Lian grabbed Li Hansheng, took a step back, and swept towards everyone with a bloodthirsty gaze, and suddenly smiled coldly and shouted, "Come out." ”
There was no beginning or end to what was said, and many people didn't understand the meaning, but soon, they knew what Yang Lian's words meant. From behind the screens placed in the hall, at least fifty heavily armed armor soldiers walked out, holding shining blades in their hands, and their sharp eyes made people know that they were warriors of a hundred battles.
Although there are a lot of Fuzhou soldiers in the hall, they have already laid down their swords, if there was a numerical advantage just now, then now this advantage is gone. Many people looked at Li Hansheng, some felt regretful, some felt lucky, and some secretly clapped their hands.
Pan Sen's eyes were very calm, he had already felt something, so when something really happened, Pan Sen calmed down, and he had already made up his mind to pay attention, since the Fuzhou Army decided to defect to Datang, whether it was Li Hongyi's decision or not, now it seems that Fei Yan (Yang Lian) has the upper hand, and Pan Sen chose to be loyal to Datang almost instantly.
Thinking of doing the Tao, Pan Sen immediately stood up, first arched his hand towards Yang Lian, and then bowed to the others, and said: "Everyone, as Mr. Fei said, Fuzhou is narrow and has few people, and the territory is mountainous, and it is impossible to fight against the Tang Dynasty or Wu Yue with your own strength. Ladies and gentlemen, since the Jiedu envoy has given an order to take refuge in Datang, then change the banner and defect to Datang. ”
Pan Sen's words were partially supported, of course, this part of the people may see the wind and rudder, since Yang Lian has the advantage, why fight with him and sacrifice his life in vain? Taking advantage of the chaos, a few people who were originally standing sat down secretly, looking unaware.
However, there are still a lot of men with a lot of backbone, and they gradually leaned over, they don't believe that Yang Lian will kill people, after all, this is the Jiedu Embassy, they are all Li Jiedu's subordinates, when can outsiders interfere in the affairs of the Fuzhou Army?
More than a dozen people surrounded him, making a tiger's eye. Yang Lian took a step back again, and the dozen or so people stepped forward again to force Yang Lian to release him.
Yang Lian suddenly smiled faintly, one hand still grabbed Li Hansheng, and the other hand snatched the long knife from Zhu Qi's hand, and the next moment, Li Hansheng's head fell to the ground and rolled to the center of the hall. On that head, his eyes were still open, and before he died, Li Hansheng never imagined that Yang Lian would kill him, and he killed him so suddenly.
Blood spurted out, and several people nearby couldn't dodge and were stained. Many people were dumbfounded, looking at the rolling heads on the ground, looking at each other, this, killing people? How dare he kill! Although Li Hansheng is popular, he is a distant relative of Li Jiedu after all, so even if many people are dissatisfied with the short-tempered Li Hansheng, for the sake of Li Hongyi's face, no one will provoke him.
But this person said that he was ordered by Li Jiedu to take refuge in the Tang Dynasty, but he dared to kill Li Hansheng, isn't he afraid of Li Jiedu? In the hall, everyone has their own thoughts, some people guess Yang Lian's true identity, and some people feel that Yang Lian is likely to be punished.
Yang Lian threw away Li Hansheng's corpse, let the blood flow in the hall, and then threw the long knife at Zhu Qi. Zhu Qi stretched out his hand to take it, and his waist was straight.
"Zhu Qi, guard the gate, whoever dares to go out will be killed." Yang Lian ordered.
With Li Hansheng's experience, everyone knows that Yang Lian must do what he says, who dares to question Yang Lian again, Li Hansheng's fate is an example. Although some people were dissatisfied with Yang Lian, the acquaintances stopped talking, retreated to the side, and remained silent.
However, there were still one or two people who were stunned and shouted: "Who are you, you actually dare to kill Commander Li." ”
Yang Lian shook his head, Chen Tie and Zhu Qi pounced, waving long knives in their hands, and the Tang soldiers behind the two also rushed forward, separating these two from the others, although these two people are not bad, but where are Chen Tie and Zhu Qi's opponents? Especially Chen Tie was famous for his bravery in Fujian in his early years, where are ordinary people his opponents? Soon, there were two more corpses in the hall.
"Who else?" Yang Lian said lightly, with a light and breezy appearance, as if human life is just a piece of paper, which can be torn off at any time.
There was silence in the hall, three people died, and if they came out again at this time, they would also die. No one would do something meaningless when they knew they would die, so people chose to be silent.
Yang Lian squinted his eyes and looked at everyone, the silence of the Fuzhou generals did not mean that they had taken refuge in the Tang Dynasty, Yang Lian still had a task to do. At this time, Pan Sen took two steps, stopped more than ten steps away from Yang Lian, saluted very respectfully, and said, "Mr. Fei, we are all willing to take refuge in Datang." As he spoke, three or four people stood behind Pan Sen, bowing in the same way.
"Good." Yang Lian laughed, glanced at everyone, took out Li Hongyi's talisman and the seal of the Jiedu envoy, shook it in front of everyone, and said: "This is Li Jiedu's talisman and seal, who still doubts it now?" ”
"No doubt, no doubt." Everyone said gossip, but whether it was sincere or not, it was worth recalling.
"Huh." Yang Lian smiled again and said loudly: "This is an extraordinary period, please be wronged, first live in the Jiedu Embassy Mansion for seven or eight days, and when the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses enter the city, I will release you." ”
With Yang Lian's words, most of the people put their minds at ease, and a few also felt that since there was no danger to their lives for the time being, they might as well be humble and wronged first, and wait for the opportunity to find the festival envoy. Chen Tie escorted everyone towards the prepared house.
When Pan Sen passed by Yang Lian's side, he stopped and said, "Mr. Fei, I am willing to serve Mr. Fei." ”
Yang Lian smiled, nodded, and said, "Very good, I'm very welcome." ”
Pan Sen's face was happy, and he was about to speak, but Yang Lian said again: "But now I still have to grieve General Pan and stay for a few days." ”
These words made the smile on Pan Sen's face freeze, and it seemed that Yang Lian was very vigilant. Pan Sen shook his head, sighed, expressed understanding, and walked away with the crowd. Originally, the dungeon was the best choice, but Yang Lian imprisoned the guards of the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion here, and it was already overcrowded. Moreover, most of the people imprisoned now are commanders and capital heads, and these people themselves have a certain organizational ability, and if they are allowed to be together, it will not be beautiful if there is a riot.
More than 30 people were locked in a room, Yang Lian sent someone to guard it, and locked the door, and then walked towards Li Hongyi's place when the matter was done.
Li Hongyi had illusions in his heart at this time, hoping that his subordinates could see the clues and save his life, but when Yang Lian came in with someone and Zhu Qi threw the head in his hand on the ground, Li Hongyi's heart suddenly cooled. Li Hansheng is his distant relative, and now he has been beheaded, which proves that Yang Lian is ruthless on the one hand, and on the other hand, it proves that the officials of the Fuzhou army should be controlled by Yang Lian. Such a situation is very difficult for Li Hongyi. What to do next, he didn't have a score in his mind at all.
Alas, now it seems that there is only one step at a time.
In Fuzhou City, there seems to be no movement, but who knows that too many things have happened in the palace due to the festival? On the wharf, the soldiers of the Fuzhou Army were patrolling, and the bags of grain were mouth-watering. Wei, no one dares to take food secretly.
Around the wharf, there were many people going around, they heard that a lot of grain had been transported from other places in the past two days, and they were hungry for food and clothing, but no one dared to grab it, after all, the long knives carried by those soldiers on their waists were not used to see.
In the crowd, a beggar-like man watched the soldiers on the dock from time to time, and listened to them talking. The beggar's ears and eyes were very sensitive, and soon he heard the soldiers say that before dawn, the Jiedu envoy summoned the commander of the Fuzhou army, the first-class general, and two or three hours had passed, and he still did not see any trace of them, and he did not know what had happened.
The beggar was a man with a heart, he realized something, quickly got up, disappeared into the dock, walked for most of the hour, and when he arrived at the county office, the beggar pretended to beg and walked forward. At the entrance of the county office, several officials were chatting. Although the county order of Fuzhou City is in name, but the size is finally an official, after going to the Jiedu Embassy this morning, he has not returned yet, and I don't know what happened to the Jiedu Envoy? But the county order did not come back, and these officials did not dare to inquire about the Jiedu envoy's mansion, but they discussed it in private.
The beggar listened, this Fuzhou City is not only the military generals who went to the Jiedu Embassy, but even the civil officials also went, and it seems that something big happened to the Jiedu Envoy. The beggar quickly left and ran towards the Jiedu envoy's house. When they arrived at the Jiedu envoy's house, the beggar did not rush closer, but observed from a distance and listened to the discussion of the people.
If something happened to the Jiedu Embassy, there would always be some news, and the beggar was begging while quietly inquiring, and he found that the guards at the Jiedu Embassy suddenly increased, and the patrols were more frequent than usual. This means that something happened in the palace of the Jiedu envoy. Moreover, the beggar overheard the patrol soldiers talking, and found that their accents were not very pure Fuzhou accents, and there were even a few people who spoke with accents from the Jiangnan area, which seemed to be from Jinling.
The beggar felt faintly uneasy, and whatever happened, he had to pass it on, and the beggar got up, hurried away, and returned to his lodgings, where he quickly wrote a letter, sealed it with wax pills, tied it to the pigeon's legs, and quickly let it out. (To be continued.) )
