It turned out that according to Pan Wencai's strategy, Fang Shuyun planted four soldiers who had always been witty and resolute among the dozens of heralds in advance, and changed the people's clothes.

Since the soldiers who left the city were all old and weak soldiers who were temporarily selected from all over the city, and they did not know each other very well, the four of them mixed into the city with the convoy unconsciously.

After the four of them entered the city, they did not stay much at the east city gate, and immediately looked for an opportunity to slip away, found a secluded small hotel to stay, stayed until late at night, left the hotel gently, and went straight to the west city gate. The soldiers in the city were busy distributing food, and they couldn't take care of other things.

As Pan Wencai expected, sure enough, tonight's west city gate was different from the east city gate, which was heavily guarded, and there were only four sentries standing on both sides with spears under the city gate, drowsy. The other guards were even asleep in the towers or on the walls.

At the top of the gate tower there were two sentries, walking back and forth, guarding the guard. In the darkness of the night, I saw two sentries coming together from time to time to chat a few words.

Under the cover of night, the four rebel soldiers easily avoided the eyes and ears of the sentries at the head of the city, sneaked under the city gate, and the four of them worked together, one by one, and cleanly eliminated the four sentries, opened the city gate, cut the rope of the drawbridge, and the drawbridge fell with a "hula".

The 100 heralds who had been ambushed in the grass outside the West City Gate quickly rushed into the city and lit fireworks. When the defenders on the wall react, there will be no time to resist.

Relying on the cover of night, Pan Wencai's department of the Liaozhou Righteous Army, which had been waiting a little far outside the city, saw the fireworks signal, and thousands of horses galloped, rushed up, and rushed to the west gate in the blink of an eye.

The west city gate was declared lost, the rebel army entered the city, the defenders in the city hurriedly responded to the battle, where to resist, and after a while, the other city gates were also combined by the righteous army, and fell one after another.

Fang Shuyun and Yang Bingzhang's troops of the Haizhou Righteous Army entered through the East City Gate, Liu Yizhou, the leader of the Southern Hebei Righteous Army, entered through the South City Gate, and Wu Hongyan's Department of the Xishan Prefecture Righteous Army entered through the North City Gate.

When the day was about to dawn, several armies would meet in front of the palace hall of the imperial capital, and Wang Baisong, the general who defended the city, fought hard all night, his robe was dyed red, and he was surrounded by the righteous army.

Fang Shuyun shouted at Wang Baisong and persuaded: "General, when the emperor is mediocre, the officials in the court are corrupt and corrupt, and they deceive their superiors and subordinates, resulting in natural disasters and man-made disasters, and the people are not able to make a living. Our rebel army is doing the right thing for the heavens, eliminating violence and peace, and seeking prosperity and peace for the people of the world. I have heard that General Wang loves the people and cherishes the people, is honest and honest as an official, and is upright, unlike those dog officials, why don't the generals conform to the general trend and abandon the darkness and turn to the light! ”

Wang Baisong shouted with his sword and shouted that the righteous army should not step forward, and Fang Shuyun motioned to the soldiers to take a few steps back.

At this time, dawn broke in the east, and a blood-red sun erupted.

Wang Baisong looked at the rising sun and sighed, then turned back and bowed to the south a few times, and then said: "Wanyun, I'm coming!" A few tears flowed from his eyes, and he killed himself with a horizontal sword.

Seeing this, Fang Shuyun couldn't help but sigh at the emptiness, and even exclaimed pity, and ordered Wang Baisong to be buried with courtroom etiquette.

Every morning, some people go to a new day full of hope, while others prefer to go back to their dreams.

On April 29, 969 of the Yellow Dynasty, Fang Shuyun was proclaimed emperor in the capital of the dynasty with the support of the Zhonglu Righteous Army, established a new dynasty, and was called the emperor of the dynasty. The new calendar is: April 29 of the first year of the Qing Dynasty. The territory of the dynasty was bordered by the west in the west, including the northern counties and the prefectures of the East China Sea.

Zhao Jiangxi, the former emperor of the Yellow Dynasty, retreated to the south of the Yangtze River, and set the capital Chaoyuan to be bounded by the Jianghuai River, which formed a situation of confrontation between the north and the south.

After Fang Shuyun became emperor in the north, he was well aware of the hardships and sufferings of the people, so the first thing he did was to order all prefectures and counties to open warehouses and release grain, and give relief to the people, and later issued an edict to amnesty the world.

All the rebel soldiers were also rewarded, among them: Pan Wencai was named the king of Liaozhou, Liu Yizhou was the king of southern Hebei, Yang Bingzhang was the king of Haizhou, and Wu Hongyan was the king of Xishan Prefecture.

This night, after the celebration banquet, Fang Shuyun sat alone in the Jinluan Palace, took out an object from his clothes, and fell into contemplation, but that thing was half a copper coin, which happened to be a pair of Wen Yinan's synthesis.

Fang Shuyun saw things and thought about people, so he picked up the imperial pen and personally repaired a book to Wen Yinan, which filled the entire two pages, and the letter read: "...... The legacy of your ancestors and my ancestors will be fulfilled now. Now, the dynasty was established, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, and I respectfully invite my brothers to go north to enter the dynasty to achieve a great cause and benefit the people. ”

Fang Shuyun invited Wen Yinan to enter the court, but he knew that Wen Yinan was a person, he didn't like officialdom, and he was not good at fame, so this secret letter should not be sent to the new dynasty to be served, but it was necessary to find someone else to express that this invitation was not the order of the court and the covenant of officialdom, but it was actually a brother's invitation and a private invitation.

Fang Shusheng couldn't think of a suitable candidate, so he stood up and paced back and forth on the huge hall. Suddenly, Fang Shuyun looked at the python dragon yellow robe he was wearing and suddenly had an idea, he remembered a person, this person was called Gao Hongsheng, who was in the silk business in the Hedong area.

In the early days of Fang Shuyun's Haixiang Uprising, Gao Hongsheng donated money and materials many times to support the activities of the rebel army. Later, after Fang Shuyun led the main force of the righteous army to leave the area of Haixiang in Hedong, the two did not contact each other again.

Speaking of which, Gao Hongsheng and Fang Shuyun have another unknown relationship, that is, Gao Hongsheng's uncle is Gao Maosheng, a close comrade-in-arms who once followed Fang Shuyun's father Fang Wenda, because of this relationship, the friendship between the two is even more different.

Fang Shuyun also invited Gao Hongsheng to join the righteous army and work together for a great cause, but Gao Hongsheng was loose by nature, liked freedom, and was unwilling to be restrained, let alone fight and kill. He funded Fang Shuyun, firstly because of his personal feelings, but also because of his deep hatred for the corruption of the officialdom of the previous dynasty and the ruthless oppression of the people.

Thinking of this, Fang Shuyun made up his mind and immediately sent someone to Haixiang, Hedong to secretly visit Gao Hongsheng.

Early one morning, a dark-faced man came into the silk shop of the Gao family in Haixiang, and a young man stepped forward with a smile and asked:

"Morning officer, what do you think you need?"

"Your shopkeeper is called Gao Hongsheng?" The man asked.

The young man looked the man up and down, and thought, "Look at this person's appearance, he doesn't look like a local, but how can he know the name of my boss?" So he asked with a smiling face:

"May I ask where the guest officer came from, his honorable name? I'll tell you about my master. ”

"Just say that a friend surnamed Fang in your hometown came to ask to see you." The black-faced man said.

When the young man heard this, he knew that this person had a strange origin, so he asked him to wait in front of the counter, turned around and ran into the back hall to report Gao Hongsheng.

The young man ran into the back hall and didn't see the boss, so he ran to the back garden, and sure enough, he saw Gao Hongsheng repairing flowers and cutting grass in the yard, and was busy reporting the fact that there were customers in the store who asked to see the boss by name.

But seeing that this Gao Hongsheng had three strands of long hair floating under his chin, and was born old and elegant, after listening to the man's words, he threw away the scissors in his hand and said, "Hurry up and invite the guests to the study, make high-quality tea and serve the students, and I will be there immediately." ”

"Yes." The young man replied.

Gao Ling, the youngest daughter of Gao Hongsheng, who was accompanying Gao Hongsheng to repair flowers and cut grass, wondered in her heart: "What kind of person makes my father, who has always been unhurried, so nervous?" ”

said that Gao Hongsheng came to the study, saw the black-faced man, and after greeting him with his fists, he ordered the other guys to retreat, and only him and the visitors were left in the room.

The man took out two letters sealed with vermilion lacquer from the placket of his clothes and handed them to Gao Hongsheng, who looked at the seal, stood up from his seat in a panic, knelt down on his knees and bowed.
