I, the son of Yang Guo, abducted Zhang Sanfeng across the heavens
Chapter 563 Death of Yang Guang
"You want to, 'use the emperor to control the princes'?" Luo Yi looked at Hua Shi.
"That's what it looks like on the surface. It's just to fool those idiots." Before Hua Shi finished speaking, Luo Yi already had a look of doubt on his face about his life.
Am I stupid?
Forget it. Ever since Hua Shi came here, everyone here has had their IQ looked down upon. So let it be.
"Then what do you mean?"
"Yang Guang is nothing special. He can't control anyone. His existence is actually to give those aristocratic families a last glimmer of hope, so that Yang Jian and the Hou Tu King Army can implement the new policy step by step with less resistance."
Hua Shi pointed at Yang Guang's position on the map and said, "The reason why he can still be the emperor is because there are many aristocratic families in Luoyang, the Central Plains. They need a spiritual leader. Who can we control if we tie him up? Yang Jian, the Hou Tu King Army, or those aristocratic families?"
"Since this guy has no value anymore, why kidnap him and bring him back?" Ding Yanping was also very unhappy with Yang Guang, and his words were very blunt.
"Needless to say, it will cause trouble for Yang Jian and his men."
Hua Shi smiled and said, "Didn't I say before that the value of Yang Guang's existence now is to act as a stabilizer, so that Yang Jian and the Hou Tu King Army can better promote their new policy reforms, so that the whole country doesn't need them to put out fires all at once. This way it will be less difficult.
Just think about it, the aristocratic families are incompetent and furious, they can't fight back at all, so they can only abuse the people under their rule. In this way, the worse the lives of the people under their rule, the more hope and sense of belonging they have to Yang Jian and King Hou Tu's army, and the smoother their rule will be.
Even if they were afraid that the people under their rule would run to the other two forces, treating the people well would be what the two sides would be happy to see. They all had the world in their hearts.
In their eyes, these populations, economies, and territories will sooner or later belong to them. The people everywhere are the subjects under their rule. The better their lives are, the happier these two forces will be.
If we kidnap Yang Guang directly, the aristocratic families who depend on him will feel that they are at the end of their rope and will be in a state of panic. This will be our chance.
Besides, although Yang Guang is a useless person, he still has several great generals under him. Let's not talk about anything else, just Yuwen Chengdu, if we make him a cannon fodder in the front, wouldn't it be a happy death?
There are also Lai Huer, Xin Wenli, and Shang Shitu, the three strongest of the four fiercest, and Wei Wentong is the ninth of the thirteen. They are all candidates worth winning over. Otherwise, when we face them, we can't let our own family members give away their heads, right?"
"What the military advisor said makes sense. Okay, you will be in charge of this matter. Please!" Luo Yi trusted Hua Shi very much.
And Hua Shi obviously did not let Luo Yi down. Three days later, he launched a lightning attack.
The attack was only a strategy. In terms of tactics, Hua Shi used a lot of tricks. He jumped back and forth on the border between the two sides, and finally successfully tricked Hua Yan and Xu Maogong, making the forces of Yang Jian and Hou Tu Da Wang's army run around in circles on the border.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Song and others actually broke into Luoyang City.
As soon as Jiang Song followed the brilliant plan given by Hua Shi, Yang Guang immediately took all his powerful generals and followed Jiang Song north.
The lucky bag only had two sentences, "You can still be the emperor in Beiping Prefecture. The Luo family of Beiping is also a noble family."
Obviously, Yang Guang was instantly moved.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?" Yang Guang, who arrived at the Beiping Palace, was terrified. There was no courtesy as he had imagined, nor was there any greeting from the other side as he had imagined. The first thing Luo Yi said when he saw Yang Guang was: "Take down this tyrant!"
"No, bro, you're just going to take it straight away without any foreplay? You're not even going to act?"
Yang Guang was not too stupid. He had long guessed that Luo Yi asked him to come to the Beiping Palace in order to use the trick of holding the emperor hostage to control the princes. However, he did not expect that the other party would jump on his face and attack him directly, leaving him no room to hesitate.
"During the years you have been in power, you have bullied the heavens above and abused your subjects below. You can be said to be a tyrant in the history of the world, unparalleled. Even King Jie and King Zhou cannot be even a fraction of what you are."
Luo Yi sneered and said, "You killed your father to seize power, poisoned your brother to get his sister-in-law, bullied your mother and teased your sister. Your crimes are unforgivable. If I protect a tyrant like you, wouldn't I be an enemy of the people of the world? I, Luo Yi, still have many years to live, and I don't want to be struck by lightning for you, a tyrant."
"No, where did you hear this word?"
Yang Guang was confused and angry. He had heard this set of words many years ago, when Yang Gui said it to him. The 12-word comment made Yang Jian wary of him, and he colluded with his biological mother, Dugu Jialuo, and the forces behind countless aristocratic families to seize power and usurp the throne.
But Yang Guang did not accept the 12-word divination at all. Not to mention the two nonsense stories at the end, where did the patricide to seize power come from?
That Yang Jian is still alive and well and leading his troops to rebel against him!
"I don't know. I only know that this is a prediction by the gods, and there must be a reason for it. Besides, even if you didn't do these things, your stupidity is no less than that of Jie and Zhou. If I kill you now, I can be said to be ridding the people of harm."
In fact, Luo Yi didn't think so much. Just like what he said to Yang Guang before, he was from a noble family. His ruling interests were essentially consistent with the imperial power. It was just a dispute. In the eyes of people of their background, the lives of ordinary people were nothing.
The reason why Luo Yi wanted to kill Yang Guang now was entirely due to Hua Shi's suggestion.
Hua Shi said that if we kill Yang Guang here, first we will win the hearts of the people, and second the noble families will revolt. The noble families are not within our sphere of influence, and the revolt will also disturb Yang Jian and the Hou Tu King's army. We will gain fame and weaken the opponent. Isn't it wonderful to kill two birds with one stone?
Luo Yi immediately thought Hua Shi's words made a lot of sense. In any case, in the bitter cold land of the northern frontier, apart from him, Luo Yi, the King of Beiping, who was granted a fiefdom here, there was no other aristocratic family to establish themselves here.
This place itself is not a place where traditional Han dynasties live. Even if there are people living here, most of them are nomadic peoples. These people do not recognize etiquette and laws, but only recognize strength. To put it bluntly, whoever has the bigger fist will be the boss. And now, the fist of King Beiping Luo Yi is bigger than any other force in the north.
If that is the case, why should he keep a tyrant like Yang Guang to disgust himself?
The executioners acted quickly. They didn't care who the emperor was. They were all new talents cultivated by flowers and stones, and they had no respect for the tyrant.
Not long after, there was the sound of a sharp blade entering flesh, followed by a scream, and everything came to an end.
Luo Yi's brutal behavior frightened everyone. This is the emperor of a country!
Not to mention the emperor, even if it was an ordinary citizen who committed the crime of murder and was sentenced to death, it would have to be submitted to the capital for review and the execution would only be carried out in the autumn.
Yang Guang didn't even have time to say a word when they met, and he was killed right away, more easily than cutting a watermelon. This made some of the so-called "important officials" and generals who followed Yang Guang feel uneasy.
The King of Peking, Luo Yi, has been unknown for many years. Could he be a hidden madman?
But things have come to this point, there is no turning back. They have already reached Luo Yi's territory and there is no way they can go back.
"Hahahaha, Yu Wenzhi, you don't need to panic. We are only targeting the incompetent emperor. We are very optimistic about your Yuwen family."
Luo Yi saw everyone's panic and laughed, "Let's not talk about anything else. Your son Yuwen Chengdu is a fierce general who can be ranked in the top five under my command. How could I harm you?"
Yuwen Chengdu was not quite convinced when he heard this, but he had been hit too hard recently and did not dare to speak directly.
But he didn't say anything, and there were still a few people who were holding back bad things. Lai Huer, Xin Wenli, and his apprentice looked at each other, and immediately had some ideas in their minds.
Wei Wentong, the Flower Knife Tai Sui, was honest in his heart. He quietly approached the three of them and asked, "What are you three doing here?"
Lai Huer said with a smile: "Old Wei, do you want to see how capable the King of Beiping Luo Yi is and how many capable ministers and generals he has under his command?"
Wei Wentong replied: "Of course I thought about it, but how are you going to test it in this situation? Didn't you see that even Yang Guang was killed so simply with one sword?"
"It doesn't matter. Even if Yang Guang is gone, don't we still have the Chinese Language School in Chengdu?" Master Shang and his disciple also showed malicious smiles.
Ever since they joined forces with Yang Guang to defend the king, Yuwen Chengdu had been relying on his superior power to not respect them. This was understandable, after all, Yang Guang had no one to use, and with the sudden appearance of three powerful generals, Yuwen Chengdu naturally felt that his position was threatened.
The three people who were often targeted were full of resentment.
Lai Huer stood up and shouted, "Old Prince, please allow me to report. As everyone knows, our Tianbao General Yuwen Chengdu is the most powerful general in the Tang Dynasty. In terms of martial arts alone, no one can match him.
As soon as you came here, you said that General Yuwen Chengdu could only rank in the top five under you. I believe that General Yuwen Chengdu may not agree with you. We also want to see the strength of the generals under the old prince. Why don’t we have a duel and see if we can rearrange the seats under the old prince?”
Yuwen Chengdu's face turned green when he heard this.
In fact, he thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. After all, Yang Guang was killed so easily, and now his father Yu Wenzhi was still beside him. He himself didn't have the Phoenix Wing Gilded Drill in his hand. Even if he was powerful, he didn't have the confidence to break through the siege and escape.
If Lai Huer says such things now, he is simply trying to kill himself!
But seeing that Luo Yi also looked eager to try and wanted to convince him, he knew that he couldn't escape from this matter today. There was no other way. Since he couldn't solve the problem, he could only muddy the water.
Yuwen Chengdu shouted, "Your Highness has many brave generals under his command. I naturally recognize their bravery, but the courage of these four generals is no less than mine. If the five of us work together, we may be able to achieve different results. Please give us a chance to show our talents, Your Highness!"
Now it was the other four people's turn to be upset.
They never dreamed that Yuwen Chengdu, such an arrogant and reckless man, would say such shameless words just to save his life.
Luo Yi laughed loudly. He had also heard of Yuwen Chengdu's fame. Seeing Yuwen Chengdu like this, Luo Yi was very satisfied. This showed that he still put his life first. In this way, he would be able to control him and turn him into cannon fodder.
Luo Yi couldn't help but be convinced by Hua Shi's plan again.
"Okay, okay, I have long heard of the reputation of Yuwen Chengdu and the four generals. In this case, I will send out the five generals under my command to have a good fight with the five generals."
Luo Yi began to call the roll: "My three good sons, step out first!"
Jiang Chun, Jiang Song and Luo Cheng stood up.
Luo Yi greeted Dongfang Bo again, from this we can see that the old prince of Peking, who had been dormant for so long, was still a little unsure in his heart, and had a bit of fear of insufficient firepower.
Otherwise, he should have only sent Jiang Song to fight. Among the five of them, except for Yuwen Chengdu, who was a disciple of Yu Juluo, who could fight Jiang Song for about 5 rounds, even if the remaining four were tied together, Jiang Song could only shoot twice at most.
Lai Huer's strength should be similar to that of Wu Tianxi, one of the original Thirteen Heroes. It is still unknown whether he can compare with Luo Cheng, who exchanged spears with Qin Qiong, learned the method of defeating two spears with a single spear, and the advanced version of the Luo family's spear technique, the Jiang family's spear technique.
However, even with this configuration, Luo Cheng could not block Jiang Song's shot. Xin Wenli, Master Shang, and Wei Wentong were all of similar strength. Xin Wenli and Master Shang could barely fight against Yang Lin, and were slightly stronger than Wei Wentong, but not much stronger.
Jiang Song can defeat the remaining four people with two shots, which means he can take down Lai Huer with one shot and the remaining one shot can take down the other three.
However, even so, Luo Yi still felt that it was not safe enough. If Ding Yanping was not of the same generation as him and was one of the Nine Founding Elders, Luo Yi would have let him step up based on his skills.
Now we can only let Cheng Yaojin go up reluctantly.
Five people stood up. Luo Cheng, who was even more arrogant than Yuwen Chengdu, snorted and said, "We can teach you martial arts, but you are new here, so we have to decide who you fight with. Do you have any objection to this?"
In fact, Yuwen Chengdu was full of opinions, and so were the other four people. They all felt that they were being looked down upon. However, Yuwen Chengdu looked at the five people in front of him and suddenly felt like he was facing Li Yuanba and Liang Shitai, so he decided to play it safe and gritted his teeth to hold back his words.
Yuwen Chengdu, the strongest one, didn't say anything, and the remaining four naturally kept silent. They had agreed to let Yuwen Chengdu be cannon fodder, but they didn't expect this guy to be so cunning.
"Come on!" Luo Cheng glanced at his two brothers and the two people next to him, nodded and said, "Rock, Paper, Scissors!"
Yuwen Chengdu: ???
