The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 459 The death of the hero
Luoyang Ziwei Palace Wencheng Hall
"Snapped!"

A fine porcelain bowl was thrown to the ground by Wang Shichong. This is the first porcelain bowl that Wang Shichong has smashed. Each one is very valuable, but at this moment, it has become useless slag all over the place. You can imagine how angry he was at this moment.

Under the throne, the whole hall was silent, no one dared to speak, and even dared not breathe too hard, for fear of attracting Yuan Shu's attention.

Wang Shichong patted the table fiercely, looked at the civil and military men under his command, with uncontrollable anger flickering in his sullen eyes: "Even if you stand up and be chopped down, you won't be defeated so quickly!"

Picking up the battle report on the table again, looking at the crowd, he said: "In just a few days, the entire [-] army was wiped out, Guo Shiheng and Yang Wang died in battle, and the army was defeated. Haha, good death, leave this trash behind." What's the use!?"

In the hall, the faces of several generals suddenly became ugly. Even if Guo Shiheng and Yang Wang were useless, they would still fight for Wang Shichong. some.

The crown prince Wang Xuanying saw the expressions of the generals in the hall, and knew that if his father continued to talk like this, without Li Tang attacking, his side would lose his mind first, so he hurriedly took a step forward and bowed: "Father!" , Li Tang has countless elite soldiers and good generals, and we have lost all the best. It is not easy to persist until now. Li Shimin only attacked for half a day today, but he stopped attacking the city. I am afraid that his stamina is insufficient, or the Sui Dynasty gave him a huge force. The pressure, let's continue to persevere, and we must first persevere through this difficulty."

Hearing this, Wang Shichong immediately lost his temper, and he could only nod his head and said, "Alright, let's all go down and get ready."

"Here!" All the generals retreated quickly one by one as if they had received an amnesty.

After everyone retreated, Wang Shichong asked someone to serve fine wine and drank wildly.

He is finally desperate now, Yang Tong's army has never appeared, which also makes him hope, disappointed and desperate, and the last trace of the emperor's dream is also shattered with the exhaustion of the elite.His Dazheng Dynasty is about to fall, and he will never have a chance to make a comeback in this life.

Wang Shichong held the sword in one hand and drank from an amber and agate wine bottle in the other. He was already drunk, and while drinking, he yelled at Yang Tong, "Yang Tong, you cruel tyrant, when you are weak , support and use me to contain Li Mi, and get rid of Yang Tan who is the most threatening to you. Now that your wings are hardened, you use Tang Dynasty to kill me, and then you come to seize Luoyang, right? Yang Tong, you are a despicable and shameless villain."

In the inner hall, several court ladies hid behind the screen tremblingly, and no one dared to pour wine for Wang Shichong. Only one of Wang Shichong's confidant eunuchs stood aside, filling him with wine jugs from time to time.

"you say!"

Wang Shichong stared at the confidant eunuch with red eyes, "Why did Yang Tong refuse to save him?"

The eunuch was also so frightened that his legs were weak, "Maybe, his army has already reached the periphery, but, it's just that he hasn't attacked Li Shimin yet."

"How did you know that?"

Wang Shichong grabbed the eunuch's skirt, stared at him viciously, and said, "Could it be that you are Yang Tong's spy?"

"I'm not Yang Tong's spy, I guessed it." The eunuch trembled with fear.

"Even you, a lowly bastard, dare to tease me?"

Wang Shichong drew out his sword, raised the sword in his hand, and cut off the head of the eunuch. The maids hiding around screamed in fright and ran away.

Wang Shichong laughed loudly, and picked up the wine bottle to drink to his heart's content.

The city walls of Luoyang are tall and strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Luoyang City also has its defensive weakness, that is, the Luoshui River passing through the city, which divides Luoyang into two parts, but Luoyang City has extremely strict defenses against this, and both upstream and downstream are repaired. There are stubborn water fortresses, and it is difficult for warships to approach Luoyang City.Wang Shichong also knew this weakness, even if there were not enough manpower, he would send people to strictly guard the upper and lower reaches of Luoshui River.

Now it is Yun Dingxing and his two thousand soldiers who are in charge of the upstream defense. Looking at the first half of Yun Dingxing's life, he first sent his beautiful daughter to flatter the crown prince Yang Yong, and acted as a pawn for the tiger, causing Yang Yong to promote the crown prince and lose his life. After selling himself to Yang Guang, he murdered his grandson Changning Wang Yang Yan and others, causing Yang Yong's family to be ruined and his sons and grandchildren to be wiped out. Selling Wang Shichong to Li Tang, as long as he succeeds, he can go to Xiangyang to live a life of glory and wealth.

Suddenly, a soldier pointed to the distance and shouted: "General, the Tang army is coming!"

I saw a black crowd appearing on the river bank in front, which was very clear under the starlight. There were as many as 3 to [-] people. The soldiers immediately stretched their bows and arrows nervously, but Yun Dingxing ordered: "Everyone must not move rashly!"

His confidantes all shouted to stop the soldiers, at this moment, a Tang Qi galloped over and asked loudly, "Where is General Yun Dingxing?"

Yun Dingxing hurried forward, cupped his hands and said, "I am Yun Dingxing!"

Tang Qi said loudly: "His Royal Highness King Jin has an order, put down your weapons immediately, and pardon everyone innocent!"

This moment finally came, Yun Dingxing took a deep breath, turned his horse's head and shouted to the soldiers: "Put down your weapons immediately, open the gate of the water village, and retreat to the shore!"

At this time, the hearts of the people have been scattered, and they are no longer willing to work for Wang Shichong. The general gave an order, and the soldiers put down their bows and arrows and opened the gate of the village. After a while, there was no more guard on the river bank.

Li Shimin, who was in the distance, was overjoyed and ordered: "Shoot into Luoyang!"

The [-] Tang troops rushed towards the city with a cry, and in a short while, rushed through the defense line by the river and entered Luoyang City.

Wang Shichong in Wencheng Hall was lying drunk on the table, beside him, only the headless corpse of the eunuch was with him.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a loud impact woke Wang Shichong up. He slowly raised his head and looked at the large group of soldiers who suddenly appeared with drunken eyes. The leader held a sword in his hand and stared at him viciously.

Before Wang Shichong could react, Yun Dingxing shouted, "Take it!"

Dozens of soldiers quickly attacked Wang Shichong. Wang Shichong was taken aback. He was half awakened from the drunkenness in an instant. He kicked over the table and grabbed the long sword casually.

Wang Shichong is also good at martial arts. Although the corrupt life in recent years has made him not as good as before, but relying on the power of the sword, he killed the rebels around him with flesh and blood, and the red mist filled the air.

Wang Shichong gradually lost his strength, took a few steps back, leaned against the pillars in the hall and shouted loudly: "Yun Dingxing, I have treated you well, why are you turning against me?"

Yun Dingxing said coldly: "Wang Shichong, I, Yun Dingxing, don't want you to teach me a lesson. Luoyang was destroyed by you, a single husband. How many families were ruined and wives were separated, how many million people are left in Luoyang? You shouldn't Pay for the lives of thousands of people who died?"

Wang Shichong sneered and said: "I understand, you have rebelled and rebelled, and now you plan to use my head to show your merits to the new master. It's just that you have worked hard, and the dream of high-ranking officials will eventually come to nothing. People like you, who will Dare to use it? Who would dare to use it?"

Yun Dingxing's face was gloomy, and he waved his hand, "Surrounded by archers!"

Dozens of archers surrounded Wang Shichong and aimed at him with their bows. Yun Dingxing snorted heavily: "Wang Shichong, give you another chance. If you surrender, I will ask King Jin to spare your life."

"King of Jin?" Wang Shichong smiled proudly: "In the world, only Emperor Wu of Sui is qualified to be King of Jin, and the rest are mediocre. What is he, Li Shimin? Is he, a defeated general, worthy of the title of King of Jin? "

"Really?" There was a sharp shout from outside the door: "What are you, Wang Shichong?"

The soldiers at the gate stepped aside one after another, only to see hundreds of soldiers from the Tang army pouring in, and the leader was Li Shimin, who was covered in blood.

Several Li Tang soldiers still held bloody heads in their hands. They were the heads of Wang Xuanying, Wang Renze, Wang Shishi, Wang Shiyun, Wang Shibian and other members of the Wang clan. None of them were missing... The Wang clan, except for Wang Shichong, All died at the hands of Tang Jun.

Wang Shichong was completely stunned, he stared blankly at Li Shimin, he knew Li Shimin, and the two met each other in Yanmen Siege a few years ago.At this point, he finally understood why Yun Dingxing dared to oppose him. Wasn't Li Shimin a member of Yun Dingxing's subordinates before?

I have made countless calculations, and I have underestimated the relationship between Yun Dingxing and Li Shimin, and I have overestimated Yun Dingxing's character. Now it seems that the Luoshui defense line has been given to Li Shimin by Yun Dingxing. Luoyang City was broken.

Coincidentally, he also persecuted Yang Tan in Wencheng Palace, but the role was changed, and Yun Dingxing continued to play the role of persecuting the emperor.

"Wang Shichong, I can convince my father to make you King Zheng."

Li Shimin gave him a cold look. He wanted to kill Wang Shichong, but Gao Shilian reminded him to keep Wang Shichong alive, because if he killed Wang Shichong now, no one from all the princes would surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and they would go all out. die.

Wang Shichong laughed loudly, staring closely at the heads of his brothers and nephews, laughing until tears flowed: "I, Wang Shichong, have been victorious and defeated in my life, brilliant and downcast. I have been an emperor from a barbarian. I should go away in this life." I have gone all the way, but I, Wang Shichong, don't want to touch this character only. Now that the overall situation has been settled, I, Wang Shichong, will never live by idling. Besides, I will still be in the hands of Li Yuan who doesn't know why. How many days? If I surrender now, wouldn't it show that you, Mrs. Li, have a broad mind?"

"You think too much." Li Shimin had a murderous intent in his eyes.

Wang Shichong looked at Li Shimin, laughed happily and said, "Luoyang city is broken, so Yang Tong must have taken action. My Wang family will go ahead first, and Yang Tong will send you father and son to meet me soon... this time , my Wang family is one step ahead of your Li family, and you will not be able to fight me when you are under the Underworld."

After finishing speaking, Hengjian killed himself.

A generation of traitors was defeated, and Zheng Guo, which was built by him, also disappeared.
