Wu Yizong's troops pressed the border, and King Xi was shocked when he heard the news.

After he ambushed Sun Wanrong, he immediately wrote a letter of state, sending someone to Qi Dazhou Emperor Bixia, bitterly stating his mistakes, saying that because his territory was close to the Khitans, in order to avoid being attacked by the Khitans, he had to compromise with Sun Wanrong against his will, and falsely made a false alliance with the snake. Now he sent troops to help the imperial court quell the rebellion, and in order to show his heart, he asked the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty Bixia Hongen for forgiveness.

However, there has been no information after the table was handed out, and as a result, Wu Yizong, as the prince of the Zhou Dynasty, the nephew of the emperor, and the generalissimo of the Fourth Road Expedition to the Great Great, now led his troops and horses to approach the border of Xi State, and King Xi learned that he naturally thought that the empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty refused to pardon him, so he had to send someone to beg the Turks for protection in a hurry.

After the Turks plundered the "eagle's beak", they returned to the Turks with the captive Khitan and countless supplies and weapons, because these captives and supplies were dragged down and the walking speed was not fast, so Moon escorted these captives and supplies back to the west, and Chekbili and Seljuk led the light cavalry to break off.

This time, they walked very slowly, and King Xi's messenger soon caught up with them. When Chekbili and Seljuk heard that King Xi was willing to join the Turks, and from then on abandoned Wu Zhou and changed to the Turks, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, this was really the biggest harvest of this Eastern Crusade, they immediately agreed, and sent someone to escort King Xi's envoys to see Mo Si.

When he heard that the Zhou army was pressing the border and intended to invade the Xi people, he personally led 20,000 elite horsemen to return, entered the territory of the Xi people, and confronted the Chen soldiers of Wuyizong.

Wu Yizong was arrogant at first, and after he figured out that the soldiers and horses on the opposite side were not Xi people, but Turkic people, he was so frightened that he immediately withdrew his troops and retreated to Youzhou.

When he fled back to Youzhou, the generals and Wu Youyi heard that he had sent troops to attack the Xi people without authorization. At this time, it was too late to stop it, the Xi people had already joined the Turks, and the entire Raoledu Governor's Mansion had become Turkic territory, and the people of the ten states of the Xi nationality had all become Turkic vassals.

What's worse is that the Songmo Governor's Mansion is far north of the Raole Governor's Mansion, because the Raole Governor's Mansion is attached to the Turks, and the Wuzhou Imperial Court has no way to fly over this Turkic territory to rule the Songmo Governor's Mansion, so the Khitan Six Divisions are equivalent to also breaking away from the imperial court, and there is only one way to annex the Turks in the future.

What is even more unexpected is that after this series of changes. Living in the eastern corner, separated from Goryeo by a river, the Tatar tribe has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

The leader of the Ya tribe, Da Zuorong, is brave and good at fighting, and is resourceful, and has long unified the Ya tribes, and he has always wanted to be called Wang Jianguo. It's just that the Khitan is strong, so it is attached to the Khitan. Don't dare to be king. The Khitan was attached to Wu Zhou. They were attached to the Khitan, which was equivalent to the vassals of Wu Zhou.

Now the six Khitan tribes are scattered, and they have no time to take care of them, and the Xi people are all attached to the Turks, and the Central Plains Empire is blocked by the Xi people who belong to the Turks, and they cannot form a deterrent to them. Da Zuorong was overjoyed, and immediately took advantage of the situation to establish a state, proclaimed himself king, and established the Zhenguo (i.e., the Bohai Kingdom)

Because of a stupid move by Wu Yizong. In one fell swoop, the Wu Zhou dynasty lost a large part of the entire southern Hebei Province and its people, and gave birth to a Bohai state, which was really unexpected. Wu Yizong finally knew that he had made a big disaster, and he personally went to Wu Youyi's Chinese army tent to plead guilty, kneeling on the ground and crying.

Although Wu Youyi was so angry with him that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, but the matter had already happened, and there was no way to recover, if the matter spread, the entire Wu family would be attacked. In desperation, Wu Youyi had to invite all the generals such as Lou Shide, Li Duozuo, and Sha Zhazhongyi, and asked them to keep their mouths shut with both soft and hard.

Although it is impossible to hide all this matter, as long as there is no official confirmation, even if there is some discussion among the people, how long can it last?

Lou Shide and others have been guarding the border all year round, fighting with the enemy for every inch of land, for the territory, for the population, and fighting with strong enemies such as Tibet and Turks for a lifetime, and have shed a lifetime of blood, seeing Wu Yizong so bastard, they really can't wait to cut this bastard with a thousand knives to eliminate the hatred in their hearts.

However, this world belongs to the samurai, the empress's partiality to the samurai family is well known, this matter is reported to the court, Wu Yizhong will not be executed, in order to give the people of the world an explanation, the biggest possibility is to send him to the place to do a state assassin history, scourge the people for a few years, and then return to Beijing when the wind is calm.

But what about them?

From now on, they will become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the samurai, and they will never be at peace again.

In desperation, several veterans remained silent.

Wu Youyi pacified several generals and covered up the cause of this series of incidents as much as possible, but he did not dare to deceive Wu Zetian, he had always maintained neutrality between Wu Sansi and Wu Chenghei, and was directly attached to the current emperor, how could he dare to hide it. So after the matter was done, he wrote down the story as a secret music and sent someone to the capital on a horse.

Yang Fan was going south at this time, and he didn't know that there had been a drastic change in the north, because Wu Yizong's handling was careless, and a large area of the country that his ancestors had shed their blood had been lost.

Day and night, when the spring breeze just blew through Luoyang City, and the city was full of poplars, he finally came back.

Yang Fan's car drove in from Anxi Gate in Luoyang North City, all the way through the workshops, until it went out of Yuji Fang, and came to the bank of the Luoshui River, then turned to the west and rushed to Tianjin Bridge along the willow bank of the river embankment.

Along the way, there were more and more pedestrians in front of me, and then later, people were jammed on the road, and the car could not move forward at all.

Although Luoyang is prosperous, there were not so many people in the past, I don't know what happened today, it is far from Tianjin Qiaotou, and the road is already shoulder to shoulder, and it is difficult to move an inch.

Yang Fan was anxious to go home to visit his wife and son, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help poking his head out, only to see the crowds in the distance, and the whole street was congested, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "What happened?" ”

At this time, the guards of the "Succession Hall" who were secretly guarding Yang Fan had already stepped forward to investigate, and they came back after a while to report: "Ah Lang, the Son of Heaven ordered the execution of prisoners at the bridgehead of Tianjin, and the people rushed to watch, but it was crowded. ”

Yang Fan chuckled in his heart, on the day of the execution of Lai Junchen and Li Zhaode, the crowding in the street market was no more than this, who is this killing today, and it has caused such a big battle!

Yang Fan hurriedly asked, "Who does the emperor want to execute?" ”

The guard said: "The one who executed was Yan Zhiwei, the general of the Leopard Taowei!" ”

This surname is rare, but Yang Fan is a little familiar when he hears it, and after thinking about it carefully, he asked abruptly: "But Yan Lide's grandson?" ”

The guard said, "Exactly! ”

This Yan Lide was a master craftsman in the early Tang Dynasty, good at architecture and painting. Tang Taizong's Zhaoling was designed and supervised by him, and Lingyan Pavilion was also built by him, and "Lingyan Pavilion Heroes Twenty-four People" and "Eighteen Bachelors of Qinfu" are all from this person's hand, so although he doesn't know his grandson Yang Fan, he knows a lot about this famous master who has long passed away.

Yang Fan exclaimed: "What crime has this General Yan committed?" ”

The guard said: "Yan Zhiwei committed the crime of collaborating with the enemy, and the Son of Heaven issued an order to shoot it together, so the scene is rare, so the people are vying to watch!" ”

Yang Fan frowned when he heard this, and he didn't know how this person was the enemy. It provoked the Son of Heaven to move this thunderous anger and come up with such a means to vent his anger.

The guards under him also knew that the sect master was in a hurry to return home, and seeing that the road ahead was impossible, someone had already summoned a boat under the embankment and promised a lot of profits. Anchored there, returned to Yang Fan's side and said, "Ah Lang." I heard that the court was going to put his family to death. The execution will not end for a while, and Ah Lang is invited to board a boat to cross the river so that he can return home! ”

Yang Fan nodded, got out of the carriage with Anu and Gu Zhuting, went down the river embankment, and boarded the boat. Seeing the crowds of people on both sides of the Tianjin bridge, but there was only one person tied to the bridge, I couldn't help but move in my heart, and ordered: "Go over." I want to see! ”

The boss of the boat won a heavy reward, so there was no reason not to agree, so he hurriedly and diligently rowed the boat over.

On the Tianjin Bridge, a man stood upright in the middle of the bridge, one end of the long rope mixed with hardware silk was tightly tied to his body, and the other end was firmly fixed on the railings of the bridge on both sides to prevent him from falling.

At this moment, the man was already covered with arrows, like a humanoid hedgehog, which was very terrifying to look at.

A court official slowly walked to the side of the bridge, a military general handed over the bow and arrows, the man pulled the bowstring, and saw the bloody humanoid hedgehog on the bridge, even his facial features were difficult to recognize, and his arms couldn't help but tremble.

He shot an arrow, but it was crooked, and the arrow fell lightly into the river, and the military attache next to him patiently handed another arrow, and this time the civil official shot it crookedly, and shot five arrows in a row before it hit the bloody man's body.

The civil official was already sweating profusely, and when he saw the shot, he was immediately relieved, and as if he had collapsed, he was helped down by someone, and another official came up tremblingly, and took the bow and arrow from the general's hand......

This Yan Zhiwei was originally the general of Leopard Taowei, because Wu Zetian promised to make peace with the Turks, and sent Wu Yanxiu to the Turks to welcome his relatives, so that Yan Zhiwei was the envoy, and he also specially let him hang the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.

As a result, as soon as Wu Yanxiu arrived in Turkic, Mo Si put him under house arrest on the pretext that Wu Yanxiu was not the son of the Son of Heaven and that his daughter was going to marry the prince of Li Tang, and he has not been released back so far.

Immediately, he sent troops straight to Hebei, plundered the states, and when the troops invaded Hebei, he also brought this unlucky ambassador to welcome relatives. During the attack on Zhaozhou City, in order to hit the morale of the defenders in the city, Mo Si ordered Yan Zhiwei and the Khitan soldiers to download songs and dances in Zhaozhou City, singing "Long Live Music".

Chen Lingying, the general of Zhaozhou, was furious and questioned him in the city: "Shangshu has a noble position, and he sings for the captives, don't you feel ashamed?" ”

Yan Zhiwei could only reply with a wry smile: "Being forced by others, it's really a last resort!" ”

When Lou Shide and Sha Zha Zhongyi waved their troops into Hebei, the Turks retreated sharply and killed tens of thousands of Zhaozhou people, because Yan Zhiwei had always been obedient and obedient, but let him go.

As a result, Yan Zhiwei returned to the imperial court, Wu Zetian heard about his ugly state under Zhaozhou City, and felt deeply insulting to the country, especially when she promised to make peace, but the Turks reversed themselves and detained Wu Yanxiu instead, which was simply a big slap in her face, and under the annoyance and anger, Wu Zetian's anger was vented on this greedy person who was afraid of death, so there was such an unprecedented execution scene.

By the time an official in Zuihou shot it, Yan Zhiwei had already become a bloodied "hedgehog", because some officials were not good at shooting and could not be accurate, so the arrows were shot all over his body, and it was only because he was tied with a rope that he never fell.

At this moment, an executioner dressed in red suddenly strode forward, followed by an apprentice behind him, holding a red silk lacquer plate in his hand...... (To be continued......)
