Ye Mengxiong said in surprise: "I have the same opinion as Brother Quan Gao!" Ye Mengxiong sat forward slightly excitedly and said, "The biggest force in this southwest realm is the Banzhou Yang clan!" My strategy is to subdue the weak first, and then defeat the strong, and those who are not strong and not weak are naturally under control! ”

Wang Jiguang nodded, and then muttered, "That's good! A few years ago, I saw a kind of colorful opera performance in Jingshi, and I think it is the most appropriate way to describe the situation in the southwest! ”

Ye Mengxiong became interested when he heard it: "Please speak." Wang Jiguang groaned: "That kind of color play is that people are stripped naked, rolling on the nail board, and rolling down a few times, there are no wounds on the whole body!" ”

Wang Jiguang continued: "Later, when I went to ask those people, I found out that the mystery lies in this, it turns out that this nail board is not a fatal thing, but at first glance it is just bluffing, but in fact, it can't hurt people at all!" ”

Ye Mengxiong was puzzled when he heard this: "Why is this?" "He's seen the nail board, too, but it was torture performed a long time ago, and it was rumored that he would have to roll the nail board when he beat the drum and told the emperor............ In fact, it is bluffing, there is no such thing, only in the last dynasty there is this rule, and those who skip the level must first roll back to the nail board government to accept it.

But the torture of the nail board does exist, and every time Ye Mengxiong watched it before, it made people open their skin and flesh and flesh and blood, and it was unbearable! Therefore, Ye Mengxiong is really curious about what kind of method can make people roll the nail board unscathed!

Wang Jiguang said with a smile: "Brother Huayun is interested, you can try it yourself, according to the color opera team, as long as the nails on the nail board are dense enough and enough, then people lying on it are like lying on a steel plate, at most it is a little piercing, but it can't hurt people at all!" ”

Ye Mengxiong suddenly realized when he heard this, everyone is a person who has read a book, so he can probably figure it out, there are enough nails, and they basically form a whole, and people are lying on it at this time with the support of other forces, and the nails will naturally not be able to penetrate the flesh!

Ye Mengxiong couldn't help but be amazed, Wang Jiguang said back to business: "In the eyes of the servant, the situation in the southwest is like this nail board!" ”

Wang Jiguang stretched out his hand and compared it to a nail board and said: "Now all the toasts are on the same level, and people are naturally restless when they lie on it, and as long as one toast is a little higher than the others!" It will stab people to the point of bleeding! And this Banzhou Yang is the highest nail on this nail board! ”

Ye Mengxiong nodded thoughtfully, and then sighed helplessly and said to Wang Jiguang: "But you should also see the situation in the southwest, the current Sichuan governor Li Hualong has a lot of protection for Yang Yinglong, and it may be even more difficult for us to bypass Li Hualong to move Yang Yinglong!" ”

Wang Jiguang smiled and said, "That's why I'm here today!" Ye Mengxiong was stunned when he heard this, looked at Wang Jiguang, his eyes lit up and said, "Quan Gao, what do you mean?" ”

Wang Jiguang smiled and nodded: "As far as I know, the reason why the imperial court agreed to Yang Yinglong's request to donate money to atone for his sins was because the Sichuan-Shaanxi White Lotus Sect was very fierce, and the Duke of Qi Guogong had repeatedly lost on the Sichuan-Shaanxi battlefield, but now, the situation has changed!" ”

Ye Mengxiong stroked his beard slightly when he heard this: "Could it be ............" Wang Jiguang nodded and said: "That's right, just before I came here, there were already results on the Sichuan and Shaanxi side, Qi Guogong had already broken through Luoyang City, and now it is estimated that he has captured the head of the White Lotus Sect, and the Sichuan-Shaanxi dilemma has been solved, so naturally Yang Yinglong will not be needed now!" ”

Wang Jiguang took out his appointment letter from his bosom and said: "Li Hualong is about to return to Beijing to report on his work, and during this period, the successor officials have the right to investigate and reconsider the affairs of the former officials!" ”

Ye Mengxiong gasped, and Wang Jiguang said with a smile: "The servant will go to work now, in addition to returning to Beijing as soon as possible to report on his work, what qualifications does he have to stay and stop me from re-examining Yang Yinglong?" Besides, is Li Hualong really willing to do this for Yang Yinglong? ”

Li Hualong landed safely, so he didn't care if Yang Yinglong was dead or alive! Besides, even if he wants to manage, he is no longer the governor of Sichuan, so what qualifications does he have to meddle in the political affairs of the Sichuan Political Envoy Division?

Wang Jiguang's eyes narrowed slightly: "Since the imperial court let Yang Yinglong go because he proposed to go to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions, now that the battlefield is gone, and the battle is over, the previously decided meritorious crimes will definitely not count!" Is there any reason not to re-examine it? ”

Ye Mengxiong slapped the table and said, "Okay!" What Brother Quan Gao said is very true! This time, without the help of Li Hualong's old horseman, I want to see if Yang Yinglong will die! ”

Ye Mengxiong said excitedly to Wang Jiguang: "Recently, Yang Yinglong has been arrogant and domineering, because he has a grudge against the five divisions and seven surnames because of the fact that the five divisions and seven surnames joined me to play together, so during this time, he has repeatedly violated the five divisions and seven surnames, and instigated the Miao people to burn and loot with him, and even exterminated two families for this!" Now that everyone in Banzhou is in danger, you can discuss Yang Yinglong again in this matter! You and I ordered him to investigate at the same time, and he had to come! ”

Wang Jiguang got up and hugged his fists and said: "Since this is the case, then let's make up our minds, three days later, Brother Yunhua, let's see you in Chengdu!" ”

"See you in Chengdu!"

…………

Tian Jiucheng, who had messy hair and a gray face, looked at the soldier in front of him with a pale face and scolded angrily: "What did you say? ”

The soldier was also disgraced, and when he heard this, he choked up and cried: "Back to Your Majesty, the front, the front and the back river defense line............ Lost! Maitreya Buddha was captured by Yan Jun! ”

Tian Jiucheng was furious when he heard this: "Impossible! No way! As he spoke, he swung the sword in his hand desperately, and the people around him saw that he was so crazy, and they all hurriedly dodged.

Tian Jiucheng looked at the soldier with blood-red eyes: "Impossible!" The Houhe defense line is rock solid! How could it be so easy to fall? You lied to me! You're lying to me!! ”

The soldier hurriedly kowtowed in fear and said, "It's true, Your Majesty! The little ones see it with their own eyes! As soon as the Yan army swarmed up, there were two wings from the upper and lower reaches of the Houhe River, and our army couldn't resist it at all! It was washed away in an instant! I couldn't stop it at all, and now the Yan army has come towards our army camp! ”

Tian Jiucheng originally wanted to be stiff-mouthed, but when he heard the last sentence, he immediately wilted, and his face was gloomy and he pursed his mouth tightly, He Miaoshun hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to retreat!" Otherwise, the Yan army will come up after a while, and there will be no resistance here! ”

Tian Jiucheng waved his knife and shouted: "No one is allowed to retreat lightly!" I will not retreat! I'm here! Waiting for them right here! I'm going to fight them to the death! ”

He Miaoshun hurriedly hugged Tian Jiucheng and cried: "Your Majesty! Time to go! You can't hold it here! The green mountains left behind are not afraid of no firewood! Let's get out! ”

Tian Jiucheng gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Get out!" Our heavenly army is invincible and invincible! How could it be defeated at the hands of the mere Yan army? A bunch of straw bales! What's so scary? I am the Son of Heaven! Have you forgotten the courage given by your mother! ”

He Miaoshun and other generals were almost speechless when they heard this, what is the use of mentioning a childless mother now............ What old mother can stop Yan Jun's swords and guns now?

At this time, Zhou Junchen, who was also disgraced, hurriedly hugged Tian Jiucheng and said, "Your Majesty! Even if it's a decisive battle, this is not the right place! Retreat to Mamian Mountain! Let's go back to Mamian Mountain, where there are still some baggage that may be able to stop the enemy! Here, we can't stop the cavalry of the Yan army! And the brothers are already running out of ammunition! Your Majesty! Retreat! ”

Tian Jiucheng, who was furious, could only hold back his anger when he heard this, and thought for a long time with a calm face, before he nodded and said, "Okay!" Then the soldiers will face the mountain! There is the nest of our fortune, right there, I want to fight to the death with the Yan army! ”

Zhou Junchen, He Miaoshun and the others didn't care about flattering Tian Jiucheng's bragging, and when they heard that Tian Jiucheng agreed to retreat, they hurriedly dragged Tian Jiucheng and fled towards Mamian Mountain!

Sumian Mountain is the place where Tian Jiucheng and others secretly trained when they had not yet had an incident, and at that time, they also relied on deceiving some nearby Yi tribes and poor people, gathering people to hide in Sumian Mountain to make arrows miss, and train to prepare for war.

It's just that at that time, Wang Jingangnu was in charge of these things, and they rarely came to Masian Mountain very often, so it took a lot of effort to find their previous station.

He Miaoshun saw that most of the facilities here had been abandoned, so he hurriedly called someone to repair them, and took stones from the mountain, and prepared to resist the attack of the Yan army here.

He Miaoshun reported this to Tian Jiucheng, Zhou Junchen stood beside Tian Jiucheng with a sad face, and Tian Jiucheng sat there looking very depressed, and lowered his head for a long time when he heard the words, and then nodded slowly: "You can arrange it yourself............"

He Miao went out to arrange by the way, and this time the arrangement was not completed until the evening, and it was still very cold at night, not to mention that in the ravine, the soldiers were hungry and cold, their clothes were thin, and they shivered in the cold wind.

He Miaoshun reluctantly shrunk his neck to find Tian Jiucheng, but saw Tian Jiucheng standing on a high place, looking at the sky with his hands behind his back and crying, He Miaoshun couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Your Majesty! It's cold in high places, please come down! ”

Tian Jiucheng didn't seem to hear it, he just stood there like a statue, if it weren't for the tears that kept falling from the corners of his eyes, I am afraid it would really be like he had frozen to death!

"The lights were warm last night, how many heroes were drunk, where did the wine wake up today, the dream was scattered, the poor country and the mountains were buried, and the heroes were buried, and the men's tears were waved!"

Although He Miaoshun couldn't understand what Tian Jiucheng was saying, he could hear the sadness in it, and when he thought of the situation of everyone at this time, he couldn't help but kneel down and howl sadly.

Zhou Junchen on the side also knelt down and cried, you said that he was doing a good job as the prefect of Hanzhong, why did he rebel? Well, now, who knew that the White Lotus Army was so useless? Although it did block the Yan army for a long time, but now it has ended up like this!

Thinking about the parents, wives and children who have just been brought to Hanzhong to enjoy happiness, it is estimated that they have now fallen into the hands of Yan Jun, and they are estimated to have been imprisoned!

Before he came, his father had been persuading himself that the rebels had no future at all, and it was better to look for an opportunity to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, but he thought that the White Lotus Army was huge, although it could not really attack Shenjing, but it was probably not a problem to split Sichuan and Shaanxi!

What's the fun of being a prefect all your life? Although the Han and Ming courts don't look very good now, who didn't start from the end of the day?

He is now the prime minister of Han Ming! When the Han and Ming Dynasty really occupied the land of Sichuan and Shaanxi and established a country, wouldn't he really become a prime minister above 10,000 people under one person? This is a position he will never reach in his life!

So Zhou Junchen couldn't resist the temptation, he still felt that the White Lotus Army had a future, who would have thought that it would be defeated so quickly! The position of his prime minister is not hot yet!

The more Zhou Junchen thought about it, the more sad he became, and he couldn't help but cry out with sadness, and after the three of them cried for a while, Tian Jiucheng put away his tears, and then said to He Miaoshun: "Scatter all the food and clothes in my tent, and let the brothers eat and dress well." ”

He Miaoshun wiped his tears, Tian Jiu sighed, and then said to Zhou Junchen: "Prime Minister, I have decided to fight to the death with the Yan army tomorrow. ”

Zhou Junchen was still sobbing and wiping his tears, you are fighting to the death, no matter how much you fight to the death, can you still repel the Yan army? At this time, in fact, they all knew in their hearts that even if they fought to the death, it would be impossible to repel the Yan army!

The defeat was like a mountain, and now it was only a matter of time before they were completely annihilated............

Tian Jiucheng wiped his tears and then said to Zhou Junchen: "I have one last thing, please sir." Zhou Junchen didn't want to deal with Tian Jiucheng anymore, but he still cried and bowed slightly.

Tian Jiucheng thought that Zhou Junchen valued love and righteousness, and the monarch and ministers were reluctant to him, so he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart, I didn't go this way in vain, I also became an emperor once, and I got so many "loyal and reliable" courtiers, what more could I ask for............

Tian Jiucheng said to Zhou Junchen: "Tomorrow, I will definitely use all my strength to die with the enemy!" But if the army is defeated in the end............ I also hope that for the sake of you and me, I will be able to collect my body when I commit suicide. ”

When Zhou Junchen heard this, he suddenly felt even more uncomfortable, but after thinking about it, if he committed suicide by cutting his neck, then I took the sword directly and said to Yan Jun that I killed him, wouldn't it be regarded as abandoning the darkness and turning to the light? Maybe you might be able to escape with a chance of survival!

So Zhou Junchen made up his mind in his heart, but he knelt down in pain and begged Tian Jiucheng to take back his life, Tian Jiucheng silently cried and closed his eyes: "Manpower is sometimes exhausted, so I have to think about it early............ If I die, try your best to flee for your life, maybe the Yan army will let you go. ”

Zhou Junchen was even more sad when he heard this, Yan Jun would put a hammer, why did he choose such a place, such a ravine, the Yan army only needs to surround it, and there is no place to run!

Zhou Junchen wanted to give his two mouths, but he couldn't, he could only cry on the ground, and for a while, the faint cry echoed in the ravine of the entire Mamian Mountain............

The next day, when the sky was bright, the Yan army blew the horn of attack, and Song Qing stood on the top of the mountain with his eyes slightly narrowed and watched the Yan army rush towards a lonely "reef" in the ravine like a tide!

Song Qing held his breath, once, twice, three times............ It's broken!

Song Qingmeng opened his eyes, the essence of his eyes flickered, and the Datong army rushed in desperately from that narrow breach as if he had found an outlet!

It was like a surging tide, and the White Lotus Army was like a small dirt bag, which was submerged in an instant! Although He Miaoshun and the others fought back, they were not the opponents of the Datong Army at all!

Soon it was pressed to the vicinity of Tian Jiucheng's "palace", and the Datong Army was just about to annihilate the White Lotus Army in one go, but only heard a loud roar!

Everyone was stunned, and then looked at the roof of the "palace", only to see Tian Jiucheng, who was dressed in a messy dragon robe, holding a sword in his hand, and was roaring hysterically.

The general of the Datong Army said: "Stop!" All the Datong troops stopped their movements at the same time, but they were still surrounding the White Lotus Army, and then the Datong Army looked at Tian Jiucheng on the roof like a monkey.

Tian Jiucheng's eyes were split, and he stared at the officers and soldiers of the Datong Army who looked at him coldly and playfully, he wanted to show a little bravery, so as to leave a good story about Wujiang, the overlord of Chu, killing himself, but he couldn't stop the tears in his eyes!

Only Zhou Junchen, who was close, could see Tian Jiucheng's slightly trembling body, he was desperately suppressing, suppressing the fear of death in his heart!

Tian Jiucheng swallowed his saliva, and then shouted at the soldiers of the White Lotus Army: "Brothers of the White Lotus Sect! I'm sorry for you! I know! I brought you out, and I promised you all a good life............ I, woo woo, I didn't come true! I'm sorry! ”

Although the soldiers of the White Lotus Army were extremely frightened at this time, they couldn't help but shed tears when they heard this, and Tian Jiucheng immediately yelled at the opposite Datong Army: "Which of you is in charge!" Come out! I'm going to talk to him! ”

A general slowly walked out of the military formation and said, "This general is, Tian Rebellion, what do you say?" Tian Jiucheng gritted his teeth and said: "I, I am the emperor of the Han Ming Dynasty, although I have no merit, but I can also be regarded as the son of heaven!" The Son of Heaven shall not die with a sword and an axe! The only one who can kill me is myself! ”

The general of the Datong Army sneered, looked away with disdain and said, "There can only be one emperor in the world, and that is the one in the Forbidden City!" Your Majesty Emperor Han Ming, if you finish speaking, just hurry down and tie your hands and arrest it! ”

Tian Jiucheng laughed hysterically and said, "Surrender? Hahahaha! Surrender! Everyone was staring at him, and Zhou Junchen behind him was even more anxious, are you dead or not............

Tian Jiucheng looked up to the sky and sighed, looked at the sun and suddenly roared: "I'm dead!" Bear all the sins! It has nothing to do with the soldiers! If you are really the teacher of kings, don't kill innocents indiscriminately! Cut them some slack! ”

The general of the Datong Army was silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "I can't make decisions about this matter!" Tian Jiucheng sighed helplessly, and then said softly: "I tried my best............"

Then he raised his sword and was about to wipe it off his neck: "I! Bintian goes too! Everyone exclaimed in shock, and Zhou Junchen was even more excited and almost stood up!

Who knew that Tian Jiucheng's sword was swiped his neck! Hard! A wipe! One............

Tian Jiu stood there like a stone statue, sobbing and trying to wipe it off, but found that his arm was extremely stiff and couldn't move at all!

He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and stomped his feet! Stomp your feet!

Still can't get started............

Zhou Junchen on the side clenched his fists tightly, his heart was extremely nervous, and he even wanted to step forward to do it for him!

The Datong generals below looked at the distance even more boredly, clasped their hands on their chests and said loudly: "Hey! Are you dead or not? ”

Tian Jiucheng stood there in a daze, and after a long time, he threw the sword in his hand to the ground in a decadent manner, knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, and said sadly with a frustrated forward bend: "I don't dare to start............

"Cut ............"

The generals of the Datong Army couldn't help but roll their eyes and let out a disdainful voice in unison, and the general sneered and said disdainfully: "Don't dare to do it, what the hell are you doing blindly?" Come on! Kill it! Let's do it for him! ”

"Don't! Other! ”

Zhou Junchen stepped forward anxiously, hurriedly picked up Tian Jiucheng, who was crying bitterly, and shouted: "We surrender!" We have fallen! ”

As he spoke, he slapped Tian Jiucheng in the face one after another: "Say it quickly!" Say it quickly! Say you surrendered! Say! ”

Tian Jiucheng was hazy and in a trance, and when he heard the words, he could only cry weakly: "I've descended!" I, surrendered! ”

"He said he had descended! He said he had descended! ”

Song Qing looked at everything that was happening below, the Datong army had stopped attacking, and on the contrary, those rebels of the White Lotus Sect raised their weapons and walked out honestly in a row.

Song Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then saw the herald under his command hurriedly running over to Song Qing and said, "Guogong! The White Lotus Army has surrendered! The thief Shoutian Jiucheng He Miaoshun and others have been arrested, please command! ”

Song Qing was completely relieved when he heard this, and he had been worried for this time, because the Sichuan-Shaanxi White Lotus had not been resolved for so long, and there was a lot of criticism of him from the government and the opposition, and now he could finally breathe a sigh of relief for the time being............

Song Qing knew that he didn't know how many reproaches were waiting for him when he went back, but at the very least, now this matter has finally been resolved!

Song Qing said in a deep voice: "Tian Jiucheng, Gao Fuxing, He Miaoshun, Zhou Junchen, and other leaders of the rebellious party are all taken into custody in Chu County, and Ling Chi will be executed in Chu County in public tomorrow!" As for the rest of the party, it will be decided! The dismissal will be carried out in front of the spirit of the magistrate of the county! ”

This has long been an order of the imperial court, and it is impossible for so many tens of thousands of people to really be killed, only the head of the thief and the high-level are killed, and the rest of the dismissal is, as for the county order, when the Song Qing Dynasty recovered the county, he heard the old folks of the county say about him, and there are many admirers for such people, so they are naturally buried thickly.

After ordering all this, Song Qing looked at Tian Jiucheng who was pulled out by a group of soldiers in the distance, and couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, where the dragon flag was finally kicked down by the soldiers of the Datong Army and slowly fell into the valley............

The Han Ming Dynasty, after a few months of continuous national glory, perished............
