Chapter 354: The Eight Directions Wind and Rain Will Meet Yangzhou
After the Dingshi army broke through the Dongling Pass, there was no danger in front of the pass, and it drove all the way to Jiangdu.
On this day, the army was marching rapidly, and a small colonel suddenly came to report that an envoy from the imperial court had arrived, and there was an edict to be passed on today.
Li Jing thought for a moment, and ordered the messenger to step forward.
Not long after, a eunuch came to Li Jingma under the guidance of the small colonel. Perhaps knowing that the current Great Sui Imperial Court is in decline, or perhaps because he has seen the majesty of the Dingshi Army with his own eyes, this eunuch did not dare to put on an angel's shelf, trembling and sincerely fearful in front of Li Jingma, after saluting, he held a scroll of holy decree with both hands and presented it.
Li Jing took it casually, and when he opened it to look at it, he saw that it was actually a copy of Yang Guang's guilty edict. In the edict, he frankly admitted his many immoral deeds since he succeeded to the throne, although there were inevitably words to avoid the important and trivial, but in the end, he was shocked to know that his sins were monstrous, and he was no longer worthy of being a king, and he was willing to give up the flowers and rivers of the Great Sui and pay for his crimes. He is allowed to bind himself, hang the jade seal around his neck, and assemble the world's heroes in the school field in Jiangdu City, if anyone can overwhelm the heroes with martial arts, he is willing to dedicate the jade seal and the head on his neck to this person, and this person is the lord of the world from then on.
After sending the messenger away, Li Jing was silent for a while. All the generals gathered around Li Jing to ask for details. Li Jing recounted the contents of the edict, Qin Qiong first understood the joints, and scolded angrily: "That Yang Guang's vicious tricks, this is obviously to lead the world's heroes to kill each other!"
Li Jing sighed: "This is Yang Guang's trick, even if everyone knows his tricks, but who can be exempt from selfishness among the heroes in the world? Who doesn't covet the position of the Ninety-Five? Therefore, this tragic incident is inevitable. I am more worried about one thing, with that Yang Guang's temperament. I expected that after the heroes killed each other, the victor would not want to get the heads of Yuxi and Yang Guang. ”
"How can that be a good life?" Qin Qiong was a little anxious. "According to the teacher's intentions, how should we deal with it?"
Li Jing said in a deep voice: "I don't know what Yang Guang's arrangements are, and there is no good way to be a teacher for a while, so I can only see you when the time comes." ”
The Dingshi army continued to march, and when it was about to reach Jiangdu, it encountered another group of men and horses on the road. Li Jing sent someone to investigate, and learned that it was the righteous army of Li Zitong, the king of Shouzhou, and he thought that Li Zitong's marshal Wu Yunzhao was his old acquaintance, so he personally went to the front to meet him.
The two sides met and exchanged pleasantries. Li Zitong smiled at Li Jing and asked, "Has Marshal Li ever received that Yang Guang's edict?"
Li Jing snorted: "I have received it, this edict is just a trick used by Yang Guang to provoke the heroes of the world to kill each other, how can Li Jing believe him?"
Li Zitong applauded and praised: "Marshal Li's opinion coincides with Xiao Wang! How can that faint king's trick be hidden from the eyes of the heroes of the world? Xiao Wang has already decided that after going to Jiangdu to see that faint king, regardless of 3721, he will behead his head first!"
Li Jing smiled and said, "In this way, Li Jing is looking forward to the feat of the prince!"
Then Li Zitong first offered to leave, and Li Jing gave him away. Please Shouzhou Army take the first step.
Looking at the Shouzhou Army, which left behind the elite generals and was quite wary of his own side, Li Jing sighed and said: "The most volatile person in the world is better than the hearts of the people!"
Under the city of Jiangdu, rebels from all sides came one after another. They all kept a safe distance from each other, and in a few days no less than half a million horses had gathered, surrounding a city from all sides.
Just look at the mutual vigilance of the rebels when they set up camp with each other. Li Jing knew that it was impossible to unite everyone, so he didn't bother himself. is just in his own battalion, just waiting for Yang Guang in the city to make a move.
On that day many messengers came out of the city. Inform the leaders of each family to the camps separately, saying that tomorrow is the time of the conference, because the space in the city is limited, there is no room for these hundreds of thousands of horses, and each rebel army can only have no more than 500 men and horses into the city.
I have to say that Da Sui's trick is extremely damaging. Because of the urgency of time, the leaders of the rebel armies, who were already with different intentions, had no time to communicate with each other and form a tacit understanding. Early the next morning, many people were still waiting, but as several rebels who were desperate for Yuxi and Yang Guang's head rushed into the city first, the rest of the people couldn't hold back any longer, and ordered 500 elite soldiers to enter Jiangdu as required.
In the end, only the Dingshi Army remained outside the city and did not move, and Wei Chigong came to Li Jingma a little anxiously and said, "Master, everyone else has entered the city, when will we act?"
Li Jing looked at the sky, nodded and said, "It's almost over, let's go!"
Wei Chi Gong hurriedly went to deliver the order, and in an instant, five hundred elite iron horsemen gathered behind Li Jing.
With Li Jing waving his hand, the group urged the horse to come to the city gate of Jiangdu. After Li Jing made someone report his origins, the defenders divided the two sides and let Li Jing and others enter Jiangdu.
There was a special person in the city who led Li Jing and the others to a huge school field. At this moment, the surrounding area of the school field has been crowded with all kinds of rebels, among which a high platform has been erected, on the platform Yang Guangduan sits on a dragon chair, his body is bound by yellow silk, and there is a seal tied to yellow silk hanging on his chest.
"Everyone!" Yang Guang on the high platform opened his mouth, he also practiced martial arts in his early years, although he was hollowed out by wine in recent years, but he still had a few points of foundation. Now when it comes to raising his voice, the tens of thousands of people in the audience can hear it clearly, "I have made it clear in the edict about today's events, if any hero can overwhelm the audience, please come to the stage and take my head and this jade seal representing the Great Sui River!
Although everyone's hearts were hot, they still retained some reason after all, remembering the truth that the rafters rot first, and they didn't want to be the first to end up and become the target of the public.
Yang Guang shouted three times in a row, but no one answered outside the venue, and the scene was quite embarrassing.
Yang Guang couldn't help laughing: "Since everyone is so humble, I can't say that I just need to leave the head and jade seal on my neck temporarily!"
"Wait!" After all, someone couldn't hold it back, urged the horse to come to the field, and shouted, "A certain Sui Bucai, if you want to take the head of the faint monarch and the jade seal, who dares to come to fight me!"
When everyone watched, it was Liu Wuzhou's vanguard general Zhen Zhai'er, who was good at using a Xuanhua board axe, known as a brave general.
Someone opened, and naturally there were indispensable people cheering, and then Wang Shichong, Wang Bo, and Xu Yuanlang successively sent generals to compete with Zhen Zhai'er, but they died under Zhen Zhai'er's axe.
At the beginning of the competition, there was a death, and many people of insight knew that today's scene would only be difficult to do.
Zhen Zhai'er, who had won three battles in a row, was proud in her heart, and was urging the horse to trot in the field, holding the axe high and fighting fiercely, when she suddenly heard a person sneering: "The pearl of rice grains, also shine brightly, wait for the son to come to meet you!"
