Zhang Guangtao ate people's soft mouths, took people's hands short, and began to go around to introduce the two of them to these generals under the command of the Hedong Jiedu envoy.

It just so happened that the bribe materials such as pepper and gold sent by Li Siye from Chang'an had arrived, and they could buy every general with confidence.

In these days, the two of them dressed up as vendors, wandered around the major wine shops in Taiyuan City, spent a lot of money and money to entertain the generals of the Hedong Army, and then staggered at the banquet, called friends, and packed a gift for each person after eating.

"King Yong, a small envoy who was born in the Anxi Protectorate, is also like us, who worked the battlefield and slowly accumulated meritorious achievements, and knows the hardships of our low-level generals. Deng Jingshan is a scholar like him, it doesn't mean that he is bad, it's just that they don't distinguish between grains and grains, and they can't understand you. The soldiers pinned their heads to the belt and did it with him, but they ended up eating moldy rice for the big guys, which is something that people can do? During the period when King Yong was in charge of the Hexi Army, not to mention people, even the horses were fed with moldy rice, and the horses had to be severely punished. If you don't show compassion for the soldiers, you can't talk about treating everyone harshly. ”

The generals of the Hedong Army sitting around the desk just lowered their heads and drank when they heard this, and sometimes some people sighed. There was a hearty young general named Huang Baojie at the banquet, he was the loudest when he was drinking just now, and at this moment he took off the knife on his waist, threw it on the desk and said: "This matter is not once or twice, I think this Deng Jingshan simply looks down on us, he treats us as his livestock, rather than being bullied by him on his head, it is better to mutin and kill his mother!" ”

When everyone heard this, their faces turned like earth, and they all covered his mouth and said: "Don't you dare to talk nonsense, Deng Jingshan is the envoy of the Hedong Festival who was personally appointed by the imperial court, who dares to commit such a big disrespectful sin." ”

"If it's the other way around, what can the court do? The old emperor's Guanzhong was occupied by the family, and he went to Jiangdong to take care of himself, where could he still take care of the affairs of Hedong, seeing that there was no way out with Deng Jingshan, it was better to ask for a way out for his brothers. ”

The two cronies watched from the sidelines, feeling that their incitement had reached the point of fire, and they just needed to get stern approval.

At the moment before the curfew, everyone finally dispersed the banquet and prepared to leave, Huang Baojie and Zhang Guangtao led the horse and walked on the same road, the two had just walked a few steps, and Yan Zhuang's cronies hurriedly caught up and said: "General Huang, General Zhang, please stay." ”

"What's the matter with the gentlemen?"

Two cronies stepped forward and said to Huang Baojie: "I heard General Huang's generous words at the table just now, and I was very impressed and appreciative in my heart. Now King Yong occupies Chang'an, enshrines His Majesty the Emperor Yuanshuo as orthodox, and now occupies Longyou, Hexi, and Guanzhong, and will be able to quell the rebellion and dominate the world in the future. Why don't the general turn to King Yong, and he will not lose the position of marquis in the future. ”

Huang Baojie raised his head and poured a sip of stuffy wine, sighed and said: "Who doesn't want to find a way forward for themselves, but there is no way." ”

"There is no way to say, the former King Yong sent the servant Yan Zhuang to Taiyuan to persuade Deng Jingshan to surrender, but he was unreasonably beaten by this guy, and now Zhao Jiayan is lying outside Taiyuan with injuries. If the general intends to return to the imperial court and to King Yong, I am willing to introduce the general. ”

Zhang Guangtao had already been bribed, and he also helped them incite Huang Baojie: "The two virtuous brothers have such a way, why didn't you tell me earlier, I am willing to follow you to see Yan Shizhong and find a way out for myself." ”

Huang Baojie saw that his friend also intended to work with him, so he also took the initiative to ask: "Please also ask the two gentlemen to introduce us to Yan Shizhong." ”

The two were overjoyed, and after saying goodbye to Huang Baojie and Zhang Guangtao, they hurriedly ran out of Taiyuan City to Zhaojiayan Village, and reported to their own family's Ah Lang.

Yan Zhuang lay on the clay kang, his back was bare with a scar, and he gasped and asked the two: "These fires we added, has the time come yet?" ”

"The time has naturally arrived, otherwise we wouldn't dare to lead these two people to you, they can incite their subordinates and the generals in the city to rise up and kill Deng Jingshan, but they need the court to give them a name."

Yan solemnly stroked his beard happily and said: "There should be an end to this matter, find someone to clean my official robes, and tomorrow I will personally face the two generals."

……

On the second day, Huang Baojie and Zhang Guangtao, in order to avoid people's eyes, deliberately dressed up and went out of Taiyuan City, and followed Yan Zhuang's cronies who were guarding outside the door to Zhaojiayan.

In order to show the prestige of the official and the importance of the two, Yan Zhuang insisted on wearing an official robe with an injury, and ordered someone to buy a Hu bed elsewhere and let him sit on the Hu bed in front of the cave.

When the two came to the courtyard, they saw Yan Zhuang sitting on the bed wearing a purple robe, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and crossed his hands and said: "Huang Baojie, the commander of the last general Tianbing Army and Horse Military Camp, and Zhang Guangtao, the deputy military envoy of the last general Tianbing Army, see Yan Shizhong." ”

Yan Zhuang hurriedly stepped forward to help the two up, and said with a kind smile: "The two generals get up quickly, you are loyal and brave, I have already repaired the book and went to Chang'an to report to King Yong, and a holy decree will be sent in a few days. ”

Huang Baojie stood up and crossed his hands and said: "Huang Baojie has admired King Yong for a long time, and he has long been willing to return to the court, but there is no way to report the country for a while, and now the two of us are willing to lead the people to raise an incident and return to King Yong and return to the court." ”

"Very good, the two generals will wait for good news."

……

Three days later, they came to Zhao Jiayan again, knelt down in front of Yan Zhuang with a solemn expression, and the atmosphere was tense for a while. Yan Zhuang also coughed to show his solemnity, took out the yellow silk book from his arms, and read aloud: "Your Majesty! Huang Baojie, the commander of the Hedong Heavenly Soldier Army and the horse army, and Zhang Guangtao, the deputy military envoy of the Heavenly Soldier Army, abandoned the darkness and surrendered to the light, and his loyalty and righteousness were commendable, and he was specially awarded the Huang Baojie Hedong Jiedu envoy and the imperial history doctor, and he was given the title of Guiyi Marquis, and he was given the title of Yiyi Thousand Households, Zhang Guangtao was the deputy envoy of the Hedong Jiedu and the imperial history of Zhongcheng, and he was given the title of Qi County Uncle, and there were 700 households in the food area. The edict is on the right, please follow it. ”

The two of them bowed to the ground with their hands and kowtowed, "I will wait for Your Majesty Longen." ”

Yan Zhuang stepped forward, put the holy decree in Huang Baojie's hand, helped him up and said, "Doctor Huang, Zhang Zhongcheng, we will be colleagues in the DPRK and China in the future, and the two of you will have to work hard." ”

Huang Baojie's eyes burst with the essence of ambition, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Lord Shizhong, rest assured, King Yong has been so kind to us, we dare not die to repay us." ”

……

Only six days have passed, and the red sun on the head of Taiyuan City is about to burn out the last afterglow, and then it is about to sink into the ground.

Without anyone noticing, the adjutant general Zhang Guangtao replaced the soldiers patrolling the city with cavalry under Huang Baojie, and then waited for the sky to darken.

The drums of the curfew rumbled, and Huang Baojie used this as a signal to block the two alleys in front and behind the Hedong Jiedu Envoy's mansion, and only let in the angry soldiers they had instigated.

"Brothers, haven't you eaten enough moldy rice, Deng Jingshan oppressed us so much, such a person is not against him, when will he rush into the Jiedu Envoy's mansion with me and kill Deng Jingshan!"

Most of the soldiers of the Hedong Army were instigated by them, and they rushed to kill the Jiedu envoy's mansion, and most of Deng Jingshan's personal guard battalion also escaped and scattered, and only the 500 guards around him held the gate of the courtyard.

The soldiers held crossbows in their hands and fired arrows into the courtyard to shoot the guards who held on, and Huang Baojie personally commanded dozens of people to sharpen the trunks of the trees and slam them into the gate.

"Bump!"

Deng Jingshan stood in the courtyard in a frightened manner, his mouth began to turn white, and his fingers trembled and asked, "Who is gathering a crowd to rebel?" ”

"It was Huang Baojie, the commander of the cavalry, who instigated the soldiers to mutiny."

He finally felt the fear, took two steps back, leaned against the wall, and muttered, "Quick, hold the yard." ”

"Knock knock! Click! "The latch of the gate could not withstand the force of the wooden pillar, and was smashed in two, and the gate opened to both sides, and the rioters poured in like flowing water, and they slashed and killed people when they saw them, and the pro-soldiers resisted to the death, and were killed and fell in a pool of blood.
