Chapter 1011 Defection
The dark clouds were low, and it seemed that it was about to cross the city tower at any time under the twilight. However, it seemed damp and cool. Yang Fuguang was still on the city tower, facing the wide moat that was gradually rising. The guards sent his dinner to the city tower. As one of the most prominent two Yangs in the Chang'an court, the world's military commander, Privy Councilor and General of the Left Jinwu Guard, the supper was nothing more than a salted duck egg, a plate of lean meat and stir-fried green beans, a bowl of seaweed soup, two green onions and two pancakes, which was simple. His appetite was poor, and he couldn't eat it after only a little bit, and he drank another glass of warm rice wine. He liked this kind of wine, especially the two steps of warm wine and sifting wine, and liked to do it by himself. However, today, this hobby before drinking had to be done by the guards for him. He was so weak that he even struggled to do such small things.
After drinking the warm and herbs added to the rice wine, the heart-wrenching cold and pain finally disappeared. He felt the long-lost comfort and relaxation. Before the night was dark, he fell asleep in his wheelchair. The guards pushed him down the high city tower and returned to the Yang Mansion in the city.
Although Yang Fuguang was guarding Luoyang, he did not live in the palace. On the contrary, he sealed the palace city and sent troops to guard it. He did not allow soldiers and civilians to break into the palace and protect the Luoyang Palace intact. Even he himself only lived in the outer city of Luoyang. The guards pushed him through the tall rich gate, the winding Langfang, passed through a row of carved beams and pillars, passed through the elegant moon gate, and came to the innermost main house. There was a large bed covered with a duck down mattress on the surface. When the guards picked him up from the wheelchair, they felt as light as nothing. He became much thinner again, and he shook his head and sighed softly to the haggard master.
After personally lying on the bed, the tall and fierce guards retreated out as lightly as a hunter. His room was next to Yang Fuguang's bedroom. Yang Fuguang's inner courtyard was guarded layer by layer, but he was the only one guard in the small courtyard. No one was allowed to enter without any entry. Those who entered without entry were dead. King Yang believed him, but he did not dare to believe anyone easily. Qin's assassins were unparalleled in the world. Countless heroic generals had their heads cut off in their dreams.
He did not rest, but took out a whetstone and a rag from the edge of the bed, then fetched a basin of water, walked under the pear tree in the yard, and began to work seriously and orderly.
He began to sharpen the guys. His weapon was a Xuanhua axe. Plus two short-handed double-edged battle axes, and two small-handed axes. With these five axes, he also had the hunchback of the Five Axes. Although the five axes had never left Yang Fuguang to command the troops alone, his five axes had once drank the blood of many people. Some were ordered by the King of Yang, and some were the blood of those who wanted to be unfavorable to King of Yang. He regarded himself as nothing
General, he always regarded himself as Yang Gong's closest guard. Twenty years ago, Yang Gong saved a group of horse thieves outside Xuzhou City, Zhongwu, Henan, who was just a woodcutter at the time, and he vowed to protect him with the axe in his hand for the rest of his life. Twenty years have passed. The firewood chopping axe in his hand has become a set of five sharp treasures now, but he has never forgotten his vows back then. He has always protected King Yang.
While grinding the axe, Tian An thought of Mr. Yang. Mr. Yang's illness did not come suddenly. In fact, he could see that Mr. Yang had been working hard for the Tang Dynasty in recent years and devoted himself to the Tang Dynasty. Especially since he went to support the King of Shou Chang'an to become emperor, he had not stopped for a moment. This time, the illness was just because he had overdrawn too much effort before, and now it broke out together. He clearly felt that every time he hugged Mr. Yang, his body was getting thinner and thinner. His body had completely crossed. Even if he kept holding on, it would be difficult for a month.
He remembered that before he followed Mr. Yang, the days before his father died of illness were the same as Mr. Yang. He looked thin every day and soon became thinner, and in the end he was only skinny and boneless, leaving less than fifty kilograms.
When the five axes were polished one after another, and even the blades on both sides of the double-edged axes were sharp enough to be used to shave, Tian An began to put the guy away. The big axe was inserted under the tree, two double-edged axes were placed on both sides of the body under the corridor, and two small axes were inserted into the belt. Then, he began to close his eyes and sit cross-legged in the corridor in front of Yang Gong's door. He had the ability to sit cross-legged with one hand and sleep, and even half-awake. As long as there was a little movement, he could wake up.
Even if this is in Luoyang City, he will never change his habits.
The night is not quiet, with the strong wind and sudden rain, hitting the world under the night.
Luoyang city palace starts from the sky, and the long river flows thousands of doors every night.
The night is dark, the rain is dense, and the wind is tight.
Yang Shouliang wandered on the upper east gate tower at the top of the three east gates of Luoyang City. His armor was neatly slapped and his shoulders were cloaked, which could not hide the ups and downs in his heart at this moment.
Yang Shouliang's confidant Meng Yu and other captains were all dressed neatly, and they all looked solemnly at the upper east gate.
During the period after entering the Xiancheng Gate of Heiguan, Yang Shouliang had already circled the city gate for countless times, and his group of subordinates became more and more nervous.
The rustling rain was getting heavier, but it also made the situation at the East Gate tonight become more and more special, and all the sounds were covered by the sound of the rain.
God really helped me! Yang Shouliang couldn't help thinking, not long after, a team of horses suddenly came to the city in the rain, and it was faintly visible in the sound of the rain. Yang Shouliang nervously leaned his head and watched. Sure enough, he saw the agreed light and was overjoyed. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Open the city gate!"
Two teams of defenders rushed into the rain, twisted up the iron gate and suspension bridge, and opened two huge city gates with large steel nails.
In the rain, a large army appeared from the east, fully armed, and walked up the east gate.
The leader was the governor of Yiwu who had just entered the city at dusk to get the order to fight the military, Wang Chucun, the Shizhong. He rode on his horse, nodded to Yang Shouliang, and his eyes crossed, each of them speechless. Wang Chucun's brother Wang Chuzhi and his generals led their troops into the upper east gate. Under the cover of the sound of rain, they maintained a speed of neither hurry nor slow, and advanced straight westward. Their goal was to lean against Luoshui in the south and Guiyifang in Luoyang Palace City in the west. A mansion next to Taiping Temple in Guijiufang is now Yang Fuguang's mansion.
The troops left for half an hour before entering the city. Yang Shouliang estimated that Wang Chucun's brothers had at least 10,000 people into the city. These people must be the troops they brought in over the past few years, and they had already become the former Nishikawa Shence Army of their private army.
After the troops advanced, Yang Shouliang waved his hand to ask his subordinates to slowly close the city gate.
He was still in a daze, but the Wang Chuzhi brothers had already led the vanguard to the gate of Guiyifang. He could only hear the mounts roaring, and then the defenders guarding in front of Guiyifang ran back and forth, and seemed a little heavy and depressed in the rain.
The choice was very good this night. The heavy rain covered up the movements of Wang Chucun and others. He only reacted when they arrived in front of the defenders and suddenly attacked the defenders, but it was too late. Yang Fuguang was not short of soldiers and horses. But he had just taken these soldiers to attack Shaanxi and Guo, attack Jin Shang, and after he captured the territory of several prefectures and dozens of counties, he had to divide his troops to guard them. This time he hurried back to Luoyang, and many troops were placed in the pass areas of Wulao and Longmen. There were not many soldiers in Luoyang City. One of them was stationed outside the city, and the other was stationed in the city, but he could also guard the Nine Gate, as well as the Imperial City and Palace City.
No one expected that Wang Chucun and Yang Shouliang would collude together, and suddenly came to Luoyang on a rainy night.
The guards of Guiyifang were Yang Fuguang's personal army. An elite force, but even the elite force was caught off guard at this time. He suffered heavy losses. The Wang Chucun brothers continued to advance along the way, and the guards in Guiyifang fell one by one and retreated.
On a rainy night, there was a storm in Luoyang City. The Wang brothers led their troops to tie white towels on their arms, and rushed to the Yang Mansion with swords and guns. Along the way, the Yang Guards in Guiyifang had already lie all over the ground and turned into corpses. There were still a few people fighting, but Wang Chucun had already led his troops to rush into the mansion.
At this time, Wang Chuzhi brought a group of troops to the south along the street, guarded several stone bridges on the Luoshui River, and blocked the connection between Luoyang and Guiyifang in the south. Wang Chucun directly attacked Yang's mansion, and Tian An, the guard Dutou, refused to defend it with one person. The strong mansion gate was shaking under countless weapons. Wang Chucun outside the door raised his sword to command the attack, and He An was wearing iron armor, guarding behind the door like a giant, shouting angrily: "Wang Chucun, King Yang treats you well and trusts you very much, why don't you repay the kindness of appreciation but think you are revenge?"
"Those who know the times are heroes, and those who make changes are - as the general situation is clear today, I can't bear to watch the people in the world fall into water and fire due to the personal interests of the Yang brothers. Follow the trend and inherit the will of heaven and the will of the people. This is what a person with knowledge should do. Tian An, why should you resist to the end and block the chariot? Just use He Dutou to follow the will of the army and the public. Wang will be in front of the King of Qin in the future, and will not lose his glory and wealth!"
Tian An had already opened his eyes wide open, "Don't just talk nonsense, see if I take the head on your neck!"
As the mansion was spoken, the gate of the mansion had been broken, and the two sides began to fight each other in close combat. On the one hand, they were determined to die, and on the other hand, they wanted to change the ship as soon as possible to gain a chance to gain access. Without swords and ruthlessness, the soldiers had no eyes. For a moment, swords and arrows were coming and going, shouts, weapons, screams came one after another, and chaos was intertwined.
Although Tian An had fought with Yang Fuguang for many years, his fighting like today was extremely cruel.
Wang Chucun knew that Tian An was fierce and refused to come forward. He only let his subordinates hit him with strong arches and crossbows. Facing Tian An's angry accusations, he did not feel much guilt. Of course, since he could turn from Yang Fuguang to Tian Lingzi, and later from Tian Lingzi to Yang Fuguang, there would be no difficulty in making a decision on this day. The heroes competed in the Central Plains, and they all became losers, only Li Jing, the winner. The situation was clear, and there was no other possibility. At this point, how could Wang Chucun still follow the Yang brothers to die? What's more, if Yang Fuguang was in good health, maybe he wouldn't have made up his mind so quickly. But yesterday he saw Yang Fuguang himself, and he understood clearly that Yang Fuguang had already exhausted and could not live for a few days. In the current situation of the Chang'an court, if Yang Fuguang was gone again, what else would they fight against Li Jing?
The second town in Hebei is gone, the Hedong town is gone, and the Hezhong town is almost gone. Next is Luoyang and Chang'an. It won't take long to get the whole world to be the ones of Li Sanlang.
There is no possibility of a turnaround, and the court will lose to the end. But Wang Chucun did not want to lose with him. The court could not lose, but the Wang family could not. He took the opportunity to contact Yang Shouliang, who was also full of two hearts. They finally planned tonight's military chaos under Yang Fuguang's nose.
Since the Chang'an court is destined to perish, it is irrescueable, and since Yang Fuguang is already exhausted and the lights are gone, it is better to make use of it. So, I took Luoyang and tied up Yang Fuguang to use it as a letter of fame in order to achieve a good result.
Bang, Tian An finally couldn't stand his head alone, and his body was covered with crossbow arrows and fell to the ground unwillingly.
Chapter completed!
