Chapter 216: Just the Beginning
When the armored soldiers walked into the side hall, the Yin Master knew that his life was over.
During the long night, he thought about surrendering and begging for mercy, but in the end he gave up.
Just imagine, if someone kills his son and relatives, and digs up his ancestral grave, he will definitely cramp and peel the skin of that person, and scatter the bones and ashes.
"Bring the Yin Master out."
Sure enough, it was his turn to be the first one.
Li Yuan sat upright, staring at the Yin World Master with a kind of hatred, and his tone was as cold and hard as ten thousand years of ice: "Liu Wenjing, show him the torture you know. ”
The face of the Yin World Master turned pale in an instant, and his lips moved, and he wanted to kill himself, but he was stopped.
Liu Wenjing moved as early as when Li Yuan's words fell, he quickly stepped forward, unloaded the chin of the Yin World Master, and then picked up the red-hot iron from the furnace and stabbed it at the Yin World Master.
"Ahh
Accompanied by the "zizi" sound of burnt clothes and flesh, an extremely tragic scream sounded in the hall.
"Li Yuan, you rebellious ...... Ah.....h
The pain of burning the flesh made the Yin World Master unable to scold, and only one scream after another echoed in everyone's ears.
Those civil and military generals trembled and huddled together, their hearts were very frightened, and every time they heard a miserable scream, their hearts trembled.
The bright red iron stung their eyes, and they hung their heads and did not look, and covered their ears so that they did not listen.
But the scene of the damn flesh and the terrible screams seemed to be carved into their minds, lingering and unpeaceful.
However, this is just the beginning.
Liu Wenjing used to be the magistrate of Jinyang County, and the torture she was familiar with was not one hundred and eighty, but one or twenty.
He took turns to try it for all the Yin Shi Shi, and if the Yin Shi Shi couldn't bear it and fainted, he would have someone splash him with cold water to wake him up.
If someone in the onlookers was stunned, Li Yuan would also order someone to wake him up.
After half an hour like this, Pei Lin reminded Li Yuan in a low voice: "Tang Gong, if you continue like this, I'm afraid you will die." ”
Li Yuan was silent, got up and said, "Let's do this today, and bury Wei Xuan." ”
------
On the first day of October, Li Yuan sent people to read out the charges of 18 people led by Yin Shishi at the Suzaku Gate, "corrupting the law for bribes" and "disregarding the lives of the people..... The eighteen were then beheaded in public.
Then, Li Yuan organized a court meeting to gather all the officials and generals in Chang'an City and pacify them one by one.
The people of Chang'an saw that the righteous army did not commit any crimes against them, and after the war, they actively restored order in Chang'an and stabilized the people's livelihood, and the fear in their hearts gradually disappeared.
And because Li Yuan abolished all the decrees of the Sui Dynasty and promulgated a new policy of leniency, the people of Chang'an were full of praise for Li Yuan, and gradually sincerely supported Li Yuan.
On the fifth day of October, Li Yuan announced: Respect Yang Guang as the Emperor Taishang, support his grandson Wang Yang Yu as the emperor, change the Yuan Yining, and be the Emperor Gong of Sui. On the seventh day of October, Emperor Gong enshrined Li Yuan as the king of Tang, the prime minister, and the Shang Shuling, and the Wude Hall as the prime minister's mansion;
Feng Li Jiancheng became the prince of the Tang Dynasty;
named Li Shimin as the Duke of Qin;
Feng Li Yuanji was named the Duke of Qi.
On the eighth day of October, Emperor Gong issued an edict, announcing that all military and political affairs of the state would be handled by the Prime Minister's Office, including the decrees and rewards of the imperial court, the appointment and dismissal of officials, etc.
On the ninth day of October, Prime Minister Li Yuan issued a series of appointments: Pei Lin was the governor of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liu Wenjing was Sima, Tang Jian was the secretary, and Duan Zhixuan was the hussar general of Leyou Mansion..... All the generals in the rebel army received different titles according to their merits.
Since then, the situation in Guanzhong has been settled.
But, that's just the beginning.
Li Yuan unfolded the map, looked at the nearest Hedong County, and said to Li Shimin: "Erlang, you lead 10,000 elite soldiers to set off tomorrow and take Hedong for me as soon as possible." ”
Li Shimin received the order and immediately went to reorganize the army.
Wang Yu stepped up and asked Li Yuan: "Aya, when will you send troops to Jinyang to pick up the eldest sister-in-law and them to come to Chang'an?" ”
Li Yuan stared at Yutu without raising his head: "When Erlang takes Hedong County, I will send someone to Jinyang." ”
When will that be?
Wang Yu didn't want to wait, so he slapped his palm on the map, blocking Li Yuan's sight.
Li Yuan had to raise his head to look at her: "What are you doing?" ”
Wang Yu said: "From Chang'an to Jinyang, it will take several months to come and go, not to mention that the eldest sister-in-law has to pack up their things when they receive the letter, and they have to delay for several days."
"It's better for Aya to send someone to Jinyang now, anyway, the second brother went to Hedong, Hedong will not be a threat to us, and the route of the eldest sister-in-law and their way into Beijing is very safe.
"If you go now, you can still rush to Chang'an for the New Year and have a reunion."
Hearing the last three words, Li Yuan's eyes flickered, and he muttered, "Okay, I'll go and arrange people." ”
"By the way, Aya, Li Jing's family is also in Jinyang, so it's better to let them follow their eldest sister-in-law to Chang'an, so that the soldiers can rest assured."
Li Yuan thought about it and agreed.
It's just that in this way, more people will have to be sent to Jinyang.
Wang Yu was very happy and immediately told Li Jing and Tang Jian the news.
--------
The general trend of Chang'an has gone, but the news has not yet reached the eastern capital of Luoyang.
At this time, Yang Guang sat on the Luan car and was preparing to return to Luoyang from Luokou.
As soon as Luan drove to the city gate, there was a commotion outside.
Yang Guang frowned: "What's the matter?" ”
An answer came from outside: "Your Majesty, the Wagang rebels are coming. ”
"What?"
Yang Guang lifted the curtain and looked at the city gate, where Wang Shichong ordered the city gate to be closed.
After the city gate was closed, Wang Shichong trotted over: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I have made preparations and deployments, and Luokou cannot be lost."
"It's just that Your Majesty can't go out of the city today, so let's go back to the Commander's Mansion to rest first."
Yang Guang turned his head slightly, listening to the sound outside, and the sound of horses' hooves came faintly, and there were quite a few people.
"Let's go back."
After sending Yang Guang away, Wang Shicheng immediately went to the city and looked into the distance.
The shadows of the trees are moving, the flags are waving, and the black and dark pieces are moving towards Luokou quickly like a locust plague, which is very terrifying to watch.
Although Wang Shichong made a guarantee to Yang Guang, he still had no bottom in his heart, and since he fought with Li Mi, there have been few victories.
Soon, Li Mi led 200,000 Wagang troops to Luokou City, and without saying a word, he directly set up a formation to attack the city.
This Luokou City was built by Li Midu, and he knew very well that if Wang Shichong strengthened his defenses, he would roughly strengthen those places.
Therefore, Li Mi did not organize a sneak attack, and directly ordered the 8,000 troops to attack the southwest gate, with the archers covering, followed by the infantry, and the cavalry mobile reinforcements.
"Avenge the big boss, kill—"
"Avenge Situ, rush—"
"Kill—"
Seeing the soldiers venting their anger on Sui Jun, Li Mi was very satisfied, and his expressions of rushing back and forth were filled with hatred with everyone, and even became hideous to the extreme.
"The city gate is broken, rush-"
The soldiers of the Wagang Army poured into the city gate like a tidal wave with blood and water.
Under the cover of the guards, Wang Shichong ran to the commander's mansion: "Your Majesty, Luokou can't hold it, and the minister will escort you back to Luoyang immediately." ”
Yang Guang's face changed greatly......
