Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 260 Blood Fire Qingyuan Palace
The screams, the sound of fighting, and the clash of weapons resounded outside Cao Yijin's bedroom in Qingyuan Palace.

The three brothers Cao Yuande gathered four hundred warriors, together with one hundred Khotan warriors of Tiansheng Princess of Khotan, launched a surprise attack on the more than [-] Uighur warriors controlled by Tiangong Princess Li.

The two sides fought fiercely in Qingyuan Palace, and the poor Cao Yijin, who had suffered a stroke and could not speak, was carried by the rebel army to avoid him.

The fighting parties started chasing each other from house to house. In this dark night, this kind of court fighting seemed especially cruel.

Finally, in Yinshi, the three Cao brothers who had a larger number won the victory, but they also turned Qingyuan Palace into ruins. In the raging fire, Li Shi, the desperate Uighur princess, set herself on fire and died.

Her two sons and two daughters born to Cao Yijin, the oldest was 16 years old and the youngest was nine years old, were all ruthlessly beheaded.

Three hundred and seventy Ganzhou Uyghur warriors and the Shazhou Uyghur desperadoes captured by Tian Princess Li were also all killed.

"Pei Sheren! Fortunately, Pei Sheren took the initiative to capture and kill this wicked woman! It's unbelievable that this wicked woman has raised more than a hundred Uighur desperadoes in the Qingyuan Palace, and her heart is to be punished!"

In the bloody water, Cao's second brother, Cao Yuanshen, laughed and ran towards Pei Yuan, it was really thrilling.

The three Cao brothers originally thought that Princess Li had only 400 warriors, but it turned out that there were nearly [-] people.

Pei Yuan also heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, his head was finally saved, and he finally understood the despair that Huan Fan had been trying to persuade Cao Shuang not to listen to.

It was like watching himself go to a dead end and there was nothing he could do. Fortunately, Cao Yuande made the right decision in the end.

In Qingyuan Palace, in an inconspicuous corner, a generation of heroes overthrew the Guiyi Army of the Zhang family and established the Guiyi Army of the Cao family, and brought the Guiyi Army, which was in danger at that time, into the once again prosperous Guiyi Army. On the crude wooden board, like a dead body.

Not far away, his eldest son Cao Yuande just led the warriors to end the fire with his wife, Uighur Princess Li Shi. The price was that after Li Shi committed suicide, her two sons and two daughters were also eradicated.

"Ah Weng, don't cry! Yanxi is with you!" Everyone, all the second and third generations of the Cao family were busy liquidating and chasing after them. Only Cao Yanxi and Princess Tiansheng sat kneeling beside the wooden board.

Cao Yanxi kept wiping away tears for Cao Yijin, who was unable to move or speak, with a towel.

"Nineteenth sister, you stay here to guard Ah Weng, and I will go find Yeye and the others!" Princess Tiansheng said to Cao Yanxi, and the relationship between the two of them was very close.

Because before Princess Tiansheng got married, Zhang Zhao had already laid down Shule for the Khotan Jin Kingdom, and she knew exactly what status this cousin, who had no blood relationship but was far superior to blood relatives, held in her father's heart.

When everyone in the Cao family thought that Li Shengtian would not choose between the Cao family and Zhang Zhao, Princess Tiansheng knew that her father had actually made a choice long ago.

However, Princess Tiansheng doesn't care about this, since her uncle Cao Yuande succeeds to the position of Jiedushi of the Guiyi Army, I am afraid that it is not beneficial for her to have her cousin Zhang Zhao succeed to the throne.

Because she is Zhang Zhao's biological cousin and sister-in-law is Zhang Zhao's regular wife, they are far closer than an uncle and father.

Princess Tiansheng was about to go out when a group of people rushed in from the hall. Cao Yuande and the others finally remembered that the old father was still in the corner.

"Father, my child is unfilial and disturbed my father! There is nothing I can do about it, my child! If I don't do anything, people will kill me!"

A group of people cried and began to perform hard, maybe there is a bit of truth mixed in!

Princess Tiansheng retreated to the side a little bored, and felt a little sympathy for that Uighur princess Li Shi.

In fact, His Majesty Ling Gong was not seriously ill yesterday, on the contrary, his condition was milder, and he was able to speak freely.

As a result, Princess Uighur thought that Cao Yijin was returning to the past, and she was shocked because she was afraid that Cao Yijin would say something unfavorable to him, so she refused to let Princess Tiansheng go in to visit, which led to this bloody firefight.

In fact, it might not be a bad thing for King Linggong to wake up. Princess Tiansheng felt that King Linggong would at least choose to send Li Shi back to Ganzhou, so that she could save her life.

However, Princess Tiansheng frowned in disgust, because not far away, there was a scholar who didn't look like a good person, and smiled secretly at her.

"My lord, now is not the time to cry. The big clans in Dunhuang haven't made a statement yet, and we need to get their approval as soon as possible, because once Mrs. Li dies, the Ganzhou Uyghur army will be in sight!"

Seeing all the big and small Caos crying into a ball again in the room, Pei Yuan sighed in his heart again, and hurried to speak.

"What Sheren said is that the current strategy is to stabilize Dunhuang first, it is better for my brother to immediately serve as the heir of the Guiyi Army Jieduliu.

Then summon the Guasha family, the three first masters of Kaiyuan Temple, Guanyin Temple, and Lingyuan Temple, and the capital monk Tong Wang Seng Tong to attend.

It is stated that the Li family wanted to do evil to the common people of Wei, and murdered King Ling, and then prepare for a bloody battle with the Uighurs in Ganzhou! "

Cao Yuanshen immediately realized the problem, and hurriedly said to Cao Yuande, whose eyes were blurred with tears.

Cao Yuande glanced at the angry old father on the board, hesitant in his heart, while Cao Yijin stared at Cao Yuande with wide eyes, his lips trembling slightly.

Seeing this situation, Cao Yuanshen suddenly stepped forward and stood between Cao Yijin and Cao Yuande.

"Brother! Everything has been done so far, what is there to hesitate?"

Cao Yuande looked at the corpses being removed outside the door, and the strong smell of blood wafted in all directions. He reached out to push Cao Yuanshen who was in the middle, and respectfully kowtowed three times to Cao Yijin.

"Yeah! If you want to blame, blame the boy alone!"

After finishing speaking, Cao Yuande turned to look at his second son Cao Yanjing, "Go to your grandfather's house quickly and let your grandfather come on a flying horse!"

The grandfather that Cao Yuande asked Cao Yanjing to notify was not actually Cao Yanjing's grandfather. Strictly speaking, it was the grandfather of Cao Shisi and Cao Yanming.

This person is the ninth younger sister who married Cao Yijin, Cao Yuande's uncle, and then married his daughter to Cao Yuande as the successor, Cao Yuande's father-in-law.

The commander of all the internal and external armies, Ma Budu, is the second only to Jiedu envoy in the Guiyi army. When Cao Yijin expeditioned to Ganzhou, Luo Yingda was the commander.

The Luo family is also a big family in Dunhuang, the family is especially good at martial arts, and most of the generals of the Guiyi Army come from the Luo family.

Luo Tongda, the number one general of Zhang Zhao's father Zhang Chengfeng, was Luo Yingda's cousin.

Ma Yaozi's former benefactor, Luo Xianda, the envoy of the Shouchang Army, is also Luo Yingda's cousin.

It can be said that only by winning the support of the Luo family and Cao Yuande's Jiedu staying behind to claim himself can he be recognized by everyone.

"Liulang, hurry out of the city, go to Guazhou, and report this matter to Governor Murong!"

Cao Yanlu's eldest sister, Cao Sanniang, is the daughter-in-law of Murong Guiying in Guazhou, so it is most appropriate for him to inform the third person in the Guiyi Army.

"The rest of the Cao family, wearing armor and holding lances, closed all the gates of the inner city, and escorted Duke Taibao to Qingxi Palace!"

After Zhang Chengfeng claimed to be the emperor in white, he built two adjacent palaces in Dunhuang. Of course, they were both small in scale.

After the Cao family replaced Zhang, the two palaces became the living places of Cao Yijin. Now most of the Qingyuan Palace has been destroyed, so he has to go back to the Qingxi Palace.

"Brother, Daling Xue is here!" Cao Yuande quietly leaned over and whispered when the crowd dispersed after Cao Yuande finished making arrangements.

"He came in person?" Cao Yuande's eyes widened, and his heart began to throb violently.

Xue Daling refers to Xue Shantong, the magistrate of Shouchang County. Shouchang County controls the desert to the west of the Guiyi Army. The place where Zhang Zhao made troubles was Shouchang County, and Cao Yijin sent his confidant Xue Shantong to be the magistrate of Shouchang County. Why? it goes without saying.

"Take him to the back hall, hurry up!" Cao Yuande really had a headache.

No way?It can't be such a coincidence, can it?Zhang Erlang won't run back at this time, right?

"Pei Sheren, please come to the back hall together!" After hesitating for a while, Cao Yuande still called Pei Yuan.

Cao Yuande, who had just been promoted from the deputy envoy of the Guiyi Army Jiedu to the Guiyi Army Jieduliu, felt that he wanted to show his heart as a superior.

Although he still didn't like Pei Yuan's eyes, he still decided to listen to Pei Sheren's opinion in the future.

. . . .

"For today's plan! It's better to lure them with tricks, and then kill them!"

In a relatively intact room in Qingyuan Palace, Pei Yuan laughed at his classic posture again in public, and swung his right hand downwards, making a beheading posture.

"Still killed? This is not a Uighur with only a few hundred soldiers, but the deputy king of Khotan Jin, the leader of a party with thousands of troops in his hand!"

Cao Yuanzhong's cheeks twitched three or four times in a row, and in front of his face, he said that he wanted to kill his son-in-law, or the double son-in-law, are you fucking serious?

Cao Yuande also shook his head slowly. He glanced at his third younger brother Cao Yuanzhong with a livid face, and then remembered that his youngest son Cao Yanming was still by Zhang Zhao's side, and he didn't want to agree to this so-called scheme.

"Someone knows that Mr. Zhang Erlang is the son-in-law of the yamen, and also knows that the relationship between Cao and Zhang's family is really unusual, but people don't hurt tigers, tigers hurt people's hearts.

Zhang Erlang's good deputy king in Anxi insisted on returning to the east, and his intentions were clear, and he and the Yamen did not want to conflict with Zhang Erlang after he stayed. I would like to ask, how will he arrange it? "

Cao Yuande was stunned by Pei Yuan's question, right!Where will Zhang Erlang be resettled?

If it was the time when the Guiyi Army was strong and strong, no matter Yizhou, Suzhou, Ganzhou, Zhang Erlang could settle in any place.

But now there are only two states, Guasha and Shazhou. Shazhou belongs to the Cao family, and Guazhou belongs to the Murong family. There is nowhere to settle them!

"If it's King Linggong, he won't be in a dilemma like the three of you. He must make a decisive decision to trap and kill Zhang Erlang!" Pei Yuan sneered, and suddenly said another sentence.

The three brothers of the Cao family were taken aback at the same time, because they all remembered that Cao Yijin had someone coax Zhang Zhao's mother to send a letter to summon him.

At that time, Cao Yijin had clearly stated that if Zhang Zhao was tricked into coming, Cao Yuande would immediately chop him up with knives and axes.

"Ah!" Cao Yuande sighed, if he had chopped Zhang Zhao into a meat paste then, how could he be bothered now?

"Pei Sheren, don't mention it again at this time, I can't do such things."

"Let's be generous, but even if he can't be killed, Zhang Erlang should be placed under house arrest.

Xue Daling said that he and his more than [-] soldiers and horses had already appeared west of Shouchang, and it happened that the Ganzhou Uyghurs would come west to take revenge.

It is better to lure Zhang Erlang into the city in the name of King Linggong, and then put him under house arrest in the palace, then let go of the treasury, reward his soldiers, make him a pioneer, conquer Ganzhou east, and slowly digest it! "

Cao Yuande's eyes lit up, this is feasible!Putting Zhang Erlang under house arrest and recruiting the two or three thousand soldiers he brought back would at best ensure that he will be rich and honored throughout his life. This plan is feasible!
"Sanlang! Then I will suffer you! Call Yanxi, Yanding, etc. to Qingxi Palace! You will live in the palace these few days."

Cao Yuanzhong was stunned for a moment, and then his face was very colorful, a little sad and angry, a little stunned.

He didn't expect that his elder brother Cao Yuande would put his whole family under house arrest in order to deal with Zhang Erlang.

"Erlang! You go to the west of Shouchang in person, and you must find Zhang Erlang. Tell him that your father is seriously ill, and you want to see him for the last time. Please invite him to come on light horses!"

"Here! I'll go right away!" Cao Yuanshen, Cao's second brother, stepped in and said to his elder brother Cao Yuande, and then glanced at his third brother Cao Yuanzhong, who had a very bad face.

"Sanlang, don't blame the boss. He also has difficulties and has a temper. You can speak out in the future, but not today!"

. . . .

Outside the Qingyuan Palace, there is a young man with a body as long as jade and a hulking waist. He has two bows, one long and one short. Good athlete!

Holding two horses in hand, the young man bowed his hands to a woman in black robe. The woman in black robe was indeed Princess Tiansheng of Khotan.

"Jin Niang is speechless, Xin Chang'er is not a child, he knows the seriousness!

Zhang Erlang wants to be a certain yes, it depends on whether a certain has a long spear in his hand and a strong bow on his back. But today is a matter of life and death, so certain will definitely send the news. "
