Man Tang Huacai

Chapter 411 Anxious

Taiyuan.

There was a "Gulu Lu" sound in the government office, accompanied by some foul smell.

Yang Guanghui tried his best to tighten his buttocks, but his whole face wrinkled because of too much force.

On the table, some of the dark yellow tea soup had accidentally squeezed out. The servant who was ladling the soup quickly grabbed the foam, but unfortunately it was too late. The aroma of tea mixed with the stench penetrated everyone's nostrils.

"Let the governor go." An official finally couldn't help but spoke, and glanced at Diao Bing who was standing behind Yang Guanghui.

In fact, everyone saw clearly that Yang Guanghui was being held hostage, and Xue Bai and Wang Zhongsi were holding the governor hostage to order Taiyuan Prefecture. Before, for fear of getting into trouble, everyone pretended to be confused and pretended not to know. But now, the saint's edict has come down, and they can no longer pretend.

Then, Diao Bing's sword can no longer stop them from making meritorious deeds and fighting for their future. They can use force, even if they hurt Yang Guangfei.

"Yes, let's let the governor change his clothes." More Taiyuan officials began to put pressure on Diao Bing.

Yang Guanghui listened to these words that seemed to be for his own good, knowing that they were going to take action at any time, and he would be the first to die.

Yang Guanghui stood up quickly, leaned against the crack in the door and looked out. Seeing that only the officials and servants of Taiyuan Prefecture were left in the courtyard, he dared to open the door. Appearing in front of everyone with a stench-filled image.

After a while, there was another shaking outside the wooden door, and someone asked: "Fu Yin? Are you in there?"

Yang Guanghui scolded with a straight face: "Do you know what I found out in the enemy's cave?! When you get to Shiling Pass, it will be your time to apologize to me."

Yang Guanghui was horrified. In order to save his life, he sat on the ground with his feet on the edge of the manure pit and his back on the drowning bucket. As the door was kicked, foul-smelling feces and urine splashed all over his body.

Yang Guanghui stood up quickly and walked quickly out of the mansion.

"No, no, it's still close!" Yang Guanghui tried his best to move the two buckets to the door and hold them against each other, gasping: "Hurry, soon."

"My officer, my officer."

"Save Fu Yin!"

"Quick, quick, quick."

Yang Guangdi didn't have to guess what the urgent document would contain. Officials in Taiyuan Prefecture must have already accepted the order and discussed it.

"I don't want to be rebellious! Therefore, I would rather be dirty and endure the humiliation than deliver the information I have found to the court!"

After about a stick of incense, Diao Bing urged outside the door: "Are you okay?!"

Yang Guanghui immediately stood up, closed the door, and tightened the bolt. At this moment, he finally relaxed and breathed a long sigh of relief. The churning feeling in his stomach was gone, and he felt safe again.

The danger was imminent, but he couldn't think at all. His brain could only receive the constant urging from his stomach and intestines.

"Open the door!" Diao Bing shouted angrily.

Sure enough, not long after, there were dense footsteps and shouts. It was Taiyuan officials bringing people.

Generally speaking, most senior officials in government offices use toilets and have dedicated personnel to clean them. Only the servants would go to the dirty and smelly hut in the northwest corner. But what Yang Guanghui wanted at this time was to take the opportunity to stay away from right and wrong, so he went straight to the hut.

Urgent, very urgent.

The stench spread wildly and made Diao Bing, who was trying to follow, take two steps back.

Yang Guanghui rushed into the latrine almost like a tiger pouncing on its prey. Before that, he had already taken off his belt and lifted up his hem.

He felt bitter in his heart and tried hard to suppress the cramping feeling in his abdomen. He turned his head and begged softly: "I have a bad stomach. I have eaten too many dirty things recently and I really can't hold it in anymore."

He had never been so embarrassed in his life, and he couldn't help but cry loudly: "Please spare me, please spare me! Now that the Holy Will has come, even if I am willing to listen to you, it is useless!"

At the same time, shouts came from afar.

It was impossible for Yang Guanghui to go out and die with him. He didn't care about being dirty and resisted with all his strength.

"Prrrrrrrrr."

He sniffed, calmed his mind, restored the dignity of a high-ranking official, and spoke loudly.

"Five hundred miles urgent!"

"Bang, bang!"

"Can the Governor guarantee that he will not protect me again?"

"Prefecture Yin, the holy decree has arrived, ordering Taiyuan Prefecture to immediately quell the chaos and escort Wang Zhongsi back to Chang'an."

"There they are!" The Taiyuan officials shouted closer, and they had already arrived near the courtyard.

Yang Guanghui knew that the few people sent by Xue Bai obviously could not stop the officers, soldiers and servants in the city. Maybe they had been killed?
Deserve it.

At this time, there were loud shouts again.

"Come out!" Diao Bing also realized that the situation was urgent and started to kick the door.

There was suddenly no movement outside the wooden door that made a clanging sound.

For most officials in Taiyuan Prefecture, as long as they obey the orders one after another and are not implicated, this is the best situation. It would be great if the governor of Taiyuan could take the lead in taking over this troublesome matter.

Diao Bing glanced at the reactions of everyone in the hall and said: "Prefect Yin please."

"The rebels have taken Fu Yin hostage, rescue Fu Yin quickly!"

Diao Bing's kick was so powerful that the bucket against the door swayed.

"Five hundred miles urgent!"

"Don't worry," Yang Guanghui said, "I will strictly abide by the holy will and will dispatch troops and generals today."

Therefore, no one came out to question Yang Guanghui.

Only the sound of horse hooves came from the distance again, and with another "five hundred miles urgent", the fourth document also arrived.

Time was urgent, so everyone immediately started to make arrangements. One was to close Taiyuan City to prevent the rebels from coming; the other was to send messengers to order the soldiers at Shiling Pass not to follow Wang Zhongsi in rebellion; the third was to dispatch the Taiyuan City garrison to prepare for the use of force to suppress the rebellion... …

The wind blew through Yang Guanghui's official robe, and the stench still rose.

He considered this to be his achievement, as he had escaped from the knife of the villain by relying on his intelligence and fearlessness.

When some officials saw this scene, they felt unworthy.

Will Wang Zhongsi, the first hero, fall into the hands of such a villain who wallows in feces and urine?
~~
In Taiyuan City.

When Diao Geng saw Diao Bing leading his people out of the government office, he quickly rushed to meet him and said, "Brother, are you retreating now?"

"Well, Chang'an is pushing too fast." Diao Geng said as he walked, "If we don't leave, we will die here."

"Delay some more time for Mr. Lang."

"Lang Jun once said that if nothing can be done, it would be better to let that weakling Yang Guanghui continue to be Taiyuan Yin than to replace him with someone else."

The two brothers walked in a hurry, but did not leave Taiyuan City. Instead, they walked through the streets and alleys, entered a restaurant, changed into the clothes of wealthy people, climbed up to the high pavilion, and looked towards the city gate.

Before noon, groups of soldiers and horses could be seen leaving the city and heading north.

That was to follow the emperor's holy will and put down Wang Zhongsi's rebellion.

~~
"Go and shoot Wang Zhongsi!"

On the Shilingguan battlefield, Li Guiren summoned Wu'er, a shooter from the Heishui Mohe tribe, and raised his hand.

Wu'er looked in the direction of his finger, glanced around, and quickly spotted a favorable location. It was a steep cliff next to the mountain road, just over fifty steps away from the battlefield.

He immediately drove his horse and rushed there. While galloping, he drew his bow and arrows and shot down two Tang soldiers.

When he arrived at the bottom of the cliff, he jumped up, hung his fingers on the bulge on the cliff and began to climb up, as nimble as a mountain ape. Sometimes it was clear that there was no place to stay above, so he groped with his fingers and found a small crack that could accommodate his three fingers, and he was able to push his entire body up.

The Heishui Mohe tribe is weak, and Wu'er is the shortest in the Yiluo River. He was able to enter the Yiluo River after many choices because of his extraordinary strength.

"Whoosh."

A Tang army archer discovered him and shot arrows at him.

Wu'er happened to be swinging upwards when he heard the sound of breaking wind. He quickly turned sideways and the arrows in the arrow basket on his back fell.

He quickly stretched out one hand to catch an arrow, held it in his mouth, quickly climbed up the cliff, took off the bow he was carrying, and looked for Wang Zhongsi with his sharp eyes.

~~
Wang Zhongsi felt An Lushan's hesitation.

The terrain in front of Shiling Pass is not conducive to the deployment of large armies, and is more suitable for small-group operations. In addition, Wang Nan is famous for being good at taking the heads of enemy generals from thousands of troops. Therefore, An Lushan did not All the troops were sent up, and the main force of Fan Yang's army on the battlefield has always been Yiluohe who is good at individual combat.

"Remind the king that it is rare." Wang Zhongsi said, "Let him attack the banner of Anlu Mountain."

Xue Bai received the military order and immediately had a firework set off, which flew into the sky and bloomed.

During the day, the brilliance is not conspicuous, but people can see and hear where it exploded.

"Boom."

Every army on the battlefield noticed it, and soon trumpets sounded in response to Wang Zhongsi.

Yun Zhong's army, which was originally violently attacking the rear of Yiluohe, immediately turned around and attacked the headquarters of Anlu Mountain, causing the pressure on Yiluohe to suddenly reduce.

Li Guiren weighed the pros and cons and believed that Yunzhong's army could not cause casualties in a short period of time and threaten the safety of Anlu Mountain; while Yiluohe could concentrate its forces and defeat Wang Zhongsi with all its strength.

As a result, the final charge horn sounded among the Yiluohe army.

Li Guiren raised his head and looked for it, and found that Wu'er had climbed up the cliff to the west and turned into a small black shadow. He rolled his eyes and issued several military orders in succession.

Amidst the blaring of trumpets, Li Guiren's flag also began to move forward, and gradually moved to the west.

Others know that he is a Turkic person, and coupled with his seemingly rugged image, they often think that he is reckless and foolhardy. But they are wrong. In fact, he is a person who can calculate dominoes better than a scholar. , quite scheming.

At this moment, he was using his body to seduce Wang Zhongsi.

really.

Wang Zhongsi soon fell into the trap and personally led his troops to kill here.

Li Guiren sneered slightly and ordered the warriors to raise their shields and form an array to block the Tang army's offensive.

The two generals are approaching each other.

The war has come to a point where the winner is about to be decided.

~~
At the same time, more and more soldiers and horses were rushing over from the south of Shiling Pass.

This is the Taifu garrison who came to quell Wang Zhongsi's rebellion on orders.

Guan Chongsi, who stayed behind at Shiling Pass, had already dispatched all the troops he could. If he encountered such an unexpected incident, he hurriedly asked two soldiers to take Zhang Xian hostage to the southern city wall to stabilize the situation.

"I am the envoy of the Heavenly Soldiers, Zhang Xian, listen to me, it is An Lushan who is against you!"

The shouts reached the city, but the soldiers who came this time were indifferent. The reason why they were selected and sent was naturally to exclude the generals who were inclined to Wang Zhongsi, not to mention that this time it was the holy will of the saint.

"Zhang Xian has been held hostage!" Yang Guanghui shouted quickly.

If asked about his true feelings, Yang Guanghui was definitely not willing to lead the troops in person. Of course, he wanted to stay in the safer Taiyuan City. But as a newly appointed governor, he had the experience of being controlled by rebels, so this kind of thing was no longer up to him.

Isn't this another kind of blackmail?
"Zhang Xian! The saint has issued four decrees in a row, don't help the evildoers anymore!"

Yang Guanghui himself escaped from the tiger's mouth, and in turn continued to put pressure on Zhang Xian.

"You are the envoy of the heavenly soldiers, and you have ordered your soldiers to open the gates of Guancheng! Otherwise, the court will hold you accountable for your serious crime of rebellion. Think of your family, your wife and children!"

As a result, Zhang Xian was forced to the forefront of the storm. He stood on the city wall in full view of everyone. If he didn't give the order, he would be a rebel in front of thousands of people.

The two Longyou soldiers behind him immediately said: "Order them to retreat, otherwise they will release arrows." "This..."

Sweat was pouring out on Zhang Xian's forehead. He felt that he was so unlucky that he was forced to make such a damn choice.

"All Heavenly Soldiers obey orders!"

He finally shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Open the city gate and put down the rebellion according to the order!"

While shouting these six words, he ducked down and tried to avoid the two Longyou soldiers behind him with his nimble skills.

It's a pity that the past two years of eating and drinking have made him bloated, and his skill has nothing to do with the word "flexibility".

"puff."

A Longyou soldier swung his sword and struck Zhang Xian neatly on the thigh, cutting him down.

Another soldier saw this and knew that he was committing an attack in public. He didn't care what he did, so he just stabbed Zhang Xian to death on the ground.

"Open the city gate quickly!" Yang Guanghui immediately shouted at the top of his voice.

He is very smart. Until now, he deliberately did not say that he wanted to deal with Wang Zhongsi. He only said that he was following the imperial edict to quell the rebellion.

Without Zhang Xian's strict order, the heavenly soldiers guarding Shilingguan City would generally not prevent the support of friendly forces from the south.

In this way, the city gate finally slowly opened.

Instead, Yang Guanghui reined in his horse and took a few steps back to avoid danger.

"According to the imperial edict, Wang Zhongsi will be detained immediately and returned to the capital. If he dares to resist, he will be killed without mercy!"

~~
"kill!"

Under the leadership of Wang Zhongsi, the heavenly soldiers who came out of the city to suppress the rebellion burst out with powerful fighting power, rushing like a flood and attacking Li Guiren's flag.

Once Yiluohe is defeated, Wang Zhongsi will join forces with Wang Nannan and drive the troops to attack Anlu Mountain's main formation.

He already had a premonition of victory.

suddenly.

"Boom! Boom!"

The slow and heavy drum beat came, with the same rhythm as the Chang'an dusk drum. This was an agreement between Wang Zhongsi and Guan Chongsi. If the situation was uncontrollable, the drum beat would be used to remind him.

Wang Zhongsi turned around and was stunned, thinking that the saint was too impatient. This emotion affected the battle situation through the five hundred miles of urgent documents.

It was at a moment when he was distracted.

"Whoosh."

A sharp arrow was shot out of nowhere and hit Wang Zhongsi's face.

This arrow was so fast and accurate that it could hit the goose's eye. Wang Zhongsi wanted to turn his head to avoid it, but it was too late.

There was a "pop" sound, and blood beads splashed.

Wang Zhongsi's tall figure astride the war horse immediately swooped down after being hit by an arrow and disappeared from the enemy's sight.

"Come on!"

"Come on!"

……

On the cliff, Wu'er habitually wanted to fire two arrows in succession, but when he touched the arrow basket behind his back, he found nothing.

He glanced again in the direction of the Tang army's banner, but Wang Zhongsi was nowhere to be seen, so he simply left and climbed down the cliff from the other side.

On the other side, Li Guiren had been observing and saw with his own eyes the fall of Wang Zhongsi's arrow, and was overjoyed.

"Wang Zhongsi is dead!"

These people in Fan Yang's army have been looking forward to Wang Zhongsi's death for many, many years.

In the third year of Tianbao, the two sides had a grudge due to the incident in Xiongwucheng. In the sixth year of Tianbao, An Lushan contacted Li Linfu and began to frame Wang Zhongsi... So far, they have not failed. News of Wang Zhongsi's death has reached Fan Yang at least three times.

However, this man who should have died long ago is still alive, as if blessed by God.

They lost their holy family, lost their military power, were injured, sick, imprisoned, and dying, but Wang Zhongsi still lived tenaciously, so tenaciously that they were tired and lost confidence.

Finally, Wang Zhongsi finally died today. Li Guiren was really overjoyed, and he believed that his colleagues were equally happy.

"Wang Zhongsi is dead!"

I still remember that last year, An Lushan’s crusade against the Khitan was defeated like this. The world is reincarnated, and today it is Wang Zhongsi’s turn...

"what!"

Under the banner of the Hedong Jiedu Envoy, someone suddenly sat up on the horse again, his face covered with blood, but it was obviously Wang Zhongsi.

An arrow was stuck in his cheek, piercing through the left side of his face and exiting through the right side.

But he was not dead yet. In front of everyone, he cut off the arrow feathers with a knife, pulled the arrow out of his face, and held it high in his hand.

"kill!"

The sound became very strange, hollow and vague, as if one could hear the blood bubble bursting in the mouth, but it carried the power of life.

"kill!"

Even Xue Bai was inspired by Wang Zhongsi. He forgot for a moment that he was different from everyone else in the world, and rushed down with Wang Zhongsi on his horse. The long spear in his hand hit a shield.

The person holding the shield was a strong man from the Yiluohe army. He was obviously much stronger than Xue Bai.

But when the strong man saw Xue Bai's sharp eyes, he took a step back.

Yiluohe's originally uneven and compact formation immediately became more dispersed, and Tang's soldiers broke through their line in an instant.

"Puff puff puff puff..."

Meeting on the battlefield, catching and fighting, the victor will live and the coward will die.

There are strong men in the Yiluo River, but the Heavenly Soldiers are emboldened by the encouragement of their chief general.

"kill!"

Every time Wang Zhongsi shouted, blood gushed out from the two big holes on his cheeks, which looked extremely horrifying, but it was this ferocious image that broke Yiluohe's courage.

He clamped the horse's belly and personally committed suicide at Li Guiren's flag. He slashed with his sword and split a strong man guarding the flag into two pieces.

A flag fell.

The carefully selected eight thousand Yiluohe warriors were already arrogant in the world before they even raised their troops, but their flag fell in the first battle.

In Wang Zhongsi's eyes, if there is no strict military discipline, it is not a real army, and these so-called warriors are too well fed and clothed to be of any use.

~~
"Holy edict, immediately escort the traitor Wang Zhongsi back to the capital!"

Shiling Pass was filled with such shouts, and the Taiyuan officers and soldiers rushed up to the tower while shouting.

Yang Guanghui had repeatedly confirmed that Shiling Pass was completely under his control, with only Guan Chongsi still guarding the northern city wall.

He quickly ordered the officials to go to the room where he was originally detained and take out the informant letter he had hidden in public.

"See it all?!"

Yang Guanghui raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "This officer is loyal and endures humiliation. This is proof."

"The governor is indeed the pillar of the country, loyal and courageous, and will shine through the ages!"

"Su Wu of the Han Dynasty held the festival for ten years and did not disgrace the king's orders. The loyalty of the governor is equal to that of Su Wu, but his wisdom is even greater."

Yang Guanghui was flattered and felt proud and high-spirited.

He finally returned to Taiyuan Yin's mentality to consider the problem. Hearing the movement in the north, he asked people to inquire and report back. He was shocked to learn that there was actually a war there.

In this way, the top priority must be to stabilize Anlu Mountain.

However, Guan Chongsi guarded the northern city wall and did not allow him to send envoys to take charge of the situation.

When the officers and soldiers stormed the city wall and surrounded Guan Chongsi, he hid behind his shield and passed over, shouting: "Hey, that evil general, we arrived with the Holy Order, but we didn't catch him quickly and apologize to the saint!"

Guan Chongsi was standing on the top of the city with his last confidant, looking north. He raised the Mo Dao in his hand and shouted without looking back: "Who dares to come up! Commander Jie fought bloody battles, what about you?"

Yang Guanghui cupped his hands, bowed his head to the sky, and said, "I bathed in the emperor's grace and did it according to the order."

Guan Chongsi sniffed and said, "I think you must have been bathed in shit."

"Vulgar." Yang Guanghui immediately shouted, "Take it down!"

"..."

The overwhelming cheers came over him, covering up his yelling.

He couldn't help turning his head and saw the false flag of "Hedong Jiedu Envoy" waving, leading the heavenly soldiers out of the city to kill with a momentum that swept the world.

~~
Wang Nan was still struggling to attack An Lushan's main formation, but was blocked by An Shouzhong and An Qingxu's troops.

This is a very dangerous tactic, because his Yunzhong Army is currently in the Yiluohe camp. To the southwest is the Yiluohe Army that was attacked by them, and to the north is Anlu Mountain's main formation, which is easily attacked by a pincer attack. .

Once Wang Zhongsi's side is defeated, the Yunzhong Army will definitely be wiped out.

It was the old troops who fought with Wang Zhongsi that dared to take such a risk.

"General, look!"

Suddenly he heard Li Sheng shouting. Wang Lan stopped his horse and took a look, only to see that the big flag trailing down the river had fallen down.

"As expected of a handsome man."

Wang Nan shouted: "Give me the order to organize the array!"

The Yunzhong army immediately waved their flags and stopped their offensive, allowing the defeated army in Yiluohe to retreat from their side.

The soldiers and horses under An Shouzhong and An Qingxu also quickly distanced themselves to prevent being scattered by the defeated army.

Both sides fired arrows at each other.

Finally, Wang Rao saw the big flag belonging to Wang Zhongsi, and for a moment he couldn't help but feel excited. He didn't care whether it said the Jiedushi of the Four Towns or something else, he only recognized Wang Zhongsi.

They had not killed the enemy together for many years, but they commanded their troops with a tacit understanding, joined forces, and moved towards the Yiluo River to cover up the enemy.

"Come on!"

"Come on!"

Wang Nan is shouting, Li Sheng is shouting, the generals from Longyou are shouting, and many people in the Yunzhong Army are also shouting, because they were also Wang Zhongsi's old troops and once followed him to show his power in Mobei. This is prestige.

Corresponding to these shouts, there was a sharp and long golden sound.

An Lushan did not wait for Wang Zhongsi to come to him, but he had already ordered the withdrawal...
