Chapter 54: Crying on Who's Island XII
From the late autumn of the first year of Changqing to the late spring of the second year of Changqing, under the siege of the rebels, Shenzhou, a small projectile city, has held out for nine months!
Today, Shenzhou is a lonely city, and there are no mountains. There are only rebels, rebels in dense turns.
The Deep State, a small projectile city, a lonely city surrounded by heavy surrounds, is like a lonely boat in the stormy waves. Deep State, how much longer can you hold out?
It doesn't matter how long it lasts. The peace agreement has been completed, and the reinforcements, the reinforcements of Chang'an, are destined not to appear and will never appear again. Chang'an, just like that, abandoned Shenzhou, abandoned Niu Yuanyi!
From Tian Hongzheng to Tian Bu, from Tian Bu to Niu Yuanyi, Chang'an abandoned one loyal minister after another. Facts, bloody facts, have extinguished the last vestiges of loyalty in some feudal towns. From now on, Hebei, the whole of Hebei, no, even to say, all the feudal towns of the empire, there will be no more loyal ministers and righteous people!
Decades later, when the empire was once again in turmoil, the emperor of Chang'an once again turned his begging eyes to the feudal towns, but the feudal towns all turned away indifferently. They still clearly remember how Tian Hong died back then! How did Tian Bu die! How Niu Yuanyi was abandoned!
Facing the cold wind, standing at the head of Shenzhou City, Niu Yuanyi suddenly remembered Zhang Xun, Zhang Xun who was guarding Suiyang. Could it be that he is going to become the next Zhang Xun?
No, back then, Zhang Xun's death was meaningful and valuable. Because, he managed to stumble the advance of the rebels and buy precious time for the empire. But what about me? Aside from being as tragic as Zhang Xun, what else do I have left? There is no point, there is not the slightest meaning! Such a death, even if it is tragic and tragic, will not help. No! I want to live, I want to keep my useful body, to fulfill Li Yu's trust, no matter how painful the price is!
Abandoning his wife, Niu Yuanyi single-handedly broke out of the siege and fled to Shannan Dongdao.
Niu Yuanyi is very fierce and fierce, and the rebels can't stop it, and they can't stop it.
Niu Yuanyi's subordinates are also very fierce and fierce, but after all, they are still a little bit worse. So, in the end, they were still trapped in the city.
With all his efforts, he finally broke through Shenzhou City, but he only took the culprit Niu Yuanyi! Wang Tingcuo was very angry, the consequences were very serious, not serious, but harsh: more than 180 people under Niu Yuanyi, headed by the general Zang Ping, were taken to the improvised execution ground by one and beheaded one by one.
That day, from sunrise to sunset!
Blood, the blood of people with lofty ideals, in the Deep State, flowed into a small red river!
On the street, there are more than 180 corpses, more than 180 headless corpses!
In the sky, the goshawk is circling!
Hell! Wang Tingminao, who is good at creating hell on earth, has once again created a terrible hell on earth!
In view of the fact that it is not easy for Mr. Wang Tingcao to kill people and set fires, and it is especially hard to create hell on earth again and again, Chang'an decided to reward! Reward! As a result, the murderer Wang Tingcuo got an official title from Chang'an, an official title called Jian Xiao Sikong.
This is basically the highest honor for officials in the Tang Dynasty, although it is only a fictitious title.
Before that, another murderer, Zhu Kerong, had already gotten the same position.
The Battle of Hebei ended here. In addition to the dripping blood and the devastation, there is only a painful memory, a painful memory that future generations cannot bear to touch.
History, however, is history after all. Whether it is the magnificent Tang Dynasty or the infinitely poignant late Tang Dynasty, it is history, living history. Since it is history, and it is living history, we can only face and face this history squarely, and we have no choice. Because, a real warrior, dare to face the bleak history and dare to face the dripping blood!
