Chapter Seventy-One: A Visit to Yan Zhenyong

With Ahn Kwon Bok's pre-war arrangement, Ancheng's army was mobilized on a large scale, and the hidden army was also exposed, and it was the most powerful with a thousand wolf cavalry.

In order to preserve the strength of the family, the An family, who was friendly to the residents of Anseong, tore off their disguised masks, showed their vicious fangs, raised the scepter of power, and did many unconscionable things.

The next day, Ahn Kwon Bok, as the lord of Anseong, issued two decrees, plunging the entire city of Anseong into turmoil.

"Decree 1: Today, the Tang army is in turmoil, the army is pressing, and if you want to destroy Ancheng, listen to the order of the palace royal family, from now on to participate in the fight against the Tang army, stabilize the country, all the people of Ancheng must actively participate in protecting Ancheng, and those who are warriors should protect their families and defend the country, they must join the army, and those who have more than two men in the family must join the army!"

"Decree 2: As soon as the war sounds, there are 10,000 taels of gold, and it is the responsibility of the people of the whole city to fight against the forces of the Tang army, not the responsibility of the An family, but the responsibility of the whole city, and it is necessary to pay taxes, money and food, and support the An family to fight......"

On this day, for the people who have lived in Ancheng for decades, it is great bad news, and the good impression of the An family has disappeared without a trace.

A team of guards of the An family, wearing armor and holding cold weapons, shuttled through the streets of Ancheng with evil faces, holding household registration books in their hands, knocking on doors door to door.

After the door was opened, they directly robbed people, loaded food, and if they encountered obstacles, they beat them, resulting in dozens of deaths.

For three whole days, the people were miserable, the food production was exhausted, the wives were separated, the families washed their faces with tears, and a sense of grief permeated the city of Ancheng.

And the more than 30,000 people who were captured by the An family only trained casually for a few days, and then they were issued with simple weapons and became the so-called new army, ready to participate in the next war.

It is conceivable that the An family just treats them as cannon fodder, and they don't care about their lives or deaths, all they care about is themselves.

After the enlightenment, the new army naturally did not want to be manipulated by others, and a series of riots occurred, all of which ended in failure, and all of them were killed, and none of them were spared.

The next day, the families of the rebel New Army were escorted to the training grounds, where they were beheaded in front of 30,000 New Army, and their heads were cut off to build a Beijing Temple to show their deterrence.

The new army who watched the whole process had tears in his eyes and murderous intent boiling in his heart, but when he thought of the strong strength of the An family, he felt deeply powerless, and for the safety of his family, he had to make compromises, hold the weapon, and train hard in order to survive on the battlefield.

Jingguan Weizhen Wanjun's heart,

The heart is full of blood and wants to survive;

The city is full of flying flotsam dyed with red frost,

The gloomy clouds can't be blown away!

The people's hearts are rioting, and the An family is ready to fight against the water, either reborn from the ashes or never recover.

............

Leping City, early in the morning, Li Tang saw Gonggong Zhang walking in quickly, still holding a few pieces of information in his hand, and his face was anxious.

"My lord, regarding the latest information about Ancheng, it has been speculated that the An family should send troops. ”

"Troops!"

Li Tang was extremely sensitive to these two words, and immediately took the information to look at it, and after a few minutes, he said lightly:

"It's not that it should, but it's for sure! The large-scale transfer of troops should not be the original intention of the An family, but an external force is pushing the An family to start a war!"

Whether the An family has a rebellious heart or a powerful minister's heart, it must be supported by the people, without the support of the people, it is a castle in the air, which seems to be high, but has no foundation.

And now the An family's cruel and bloody methods to the people prove that the future of the An family is broken, and they no longer need any popular support!

Turning things around, there is only one person who can do this!

Gonggong Zhang hesitated and said, "The palace royal family?"

Li Tang nodded and said: "It should be the idea of the ancestor of the Gong family, the An family has a martial king, and he is uneasy, so he will borrow our hands to weaken the strength of the An family, killing two birds with one stone, what a good strategy!"

I have to admit that Li Tang's speculative skills are still very strong, and he speculated on things with just a few words.

"So what should I do now?" said Gonggong Zhang in a daze.

"Only fight, but also to win!" Li Tang said firmly, and a raging fire of war rose in his eyes.

"But we lack a strong warrior!"

Gonggong Zhang said helplessly in a low voice, without the Martial King, the odds are not great.

Li Tang smiled slightly and said, "If there is no Martial King, we will go to make a king!"

As soon as Gonggong Zhang heard it, information about Yan Zhenyong immediately appeared in his mind, the former general of Luoping City, who governed the army rigorously and was loved by the people, later disagreed with the county government in the government order, and was plotted by the county government, and the united clan drove him out of the position of general and became a poor peasant.

Under the leadership of Gonggong Zhang, Li Tang walked through the busy bazaar and came to an inaccessible area, which was the original old town of Luoping City, which has been abandoned and few people still live in it.

Shuttling through the city of broken tiles and cold kilns, walking on muddy roads, smelling rotten filth, and looking at the messy environment, it is hard to imagine that there is a general living in it.

Walking through a weedy area, you can faintly see a green spot in the distance, and when you walk in, you will find a dilapidated house in front of you, in front of which some vegetables are planted, exuding an attractive luster, in this old town, like a treasure.

"Stop, who are you?"

As he was looking, a childish voice sounded, and next to a plant, a boy held a rusty war knife in his hand, which trembled because of his young age and lack of strength, and looked like he was about to fall.

Behind him, there was a girl, her hands grasping the boy's clothes, and her bright eyes revealed a hint of fear.

"Don't be afraid, children, I'm here to find your grandfather, there is no malice. ”

Seeing this, Li Tang spread his hands and showed a smile like a spring breeze on his face, showing that he had no malicious intent.

"You lie, none of you who wear silk is a good thing. ”

But the boy didn't appreciate it, his eyes were red and revealing murderous intent, and he directly reprimanded angrily.

He vaguely remembered that a long time ago, in the middle of the night, a group of people dressed in luxurious clothes, with many guards, killed their parents, beat his grandfather to vomit blood, and drove them to this deserted place, where they sent people to humiliate them every now and then.

"My lord, do you want to go down and discipline me? ”

When Gonggong Zhang heard the boy's rude words, he was furious in his heart, the king is majestic, how can he allow others to insult, even if it is a child, it can't be!

"Well, since he won't let us go, let's go and wait on the side, so as not to frighten them." ”

Looking at the little boy's immature face, skinny body, and eyes full of fear of the world, a trace of pity flashed in Li Tang's eyes, and in the years of love, he tasted the suffering of the world.

"Yes, my lord!"

Gonggong Zhang didn't dare to refute, glared at the little boy, followed Li Tang to the back of the grass, and waited quietly.

It wasn't until Li Tang disappeared that the boy put down the knife, sat down beside the vegetables, and hugged the little girl and cried.

The strength of the sword raised in his hand is just to hide the fear in his heart.
