Late Tang

The dark clouds hung low, and it seemed as if they were about to overwhelm the city tower at any time under the twilight. The wind picked up again, but it already looked damp and cool. .Yang Fuguang still stayed on the tower, facing the wide and wide moat that was gradually rising. As a privy envoy and general of Zuo Jinwuwei, his dinner was nothing more than a salted duck egg, a plate of fried green beans with lean meat, a bowl of seaweed soup, two green onions and two pancakes. It couldn't be simpler.His appetite was poor, he couldn't eat after a little, and drank a glass of warm rice wine. He liked this kind of wine, especially the two procedures of warming wine and sifting wine, and he liked to do it himself, but Today, this hobby before drinking had to be done for him by the guards. He was already so weak that he struggled even with such trivial tasks.

After drinking warm rice wine with herbs in it, the piercing cold pain finally disappeared, and he rarely felt refreshed and relaxed after a long time.Before the night was dark, he fell asleep in the wheelchair, and the guards all pushed him off the high tower and returned to the Yang Mansion inside the city.

Although Yang Fuguang guarded and controlled Luoyang, he did not live in the palace. On the contrary, he sealed up the palace city and sent troops to guard it.Even he himself only lives in the outer city of Luoyang.The guards all pushed him through the tall Zhumen, the zigzag Langfang, passed a row of carved beams and columns, passed through the elegant moon gate, and came to the innermost main room, where there was a big bed covered with eiderdown mattresses , when the guards picked him up from the wheelchair, he felt as light as nothing, and he lost a lot of weight.He shook his head.Sighing softly to the emaciated Lord.

Put him on the bed and lie down.The tall and sturdy guard Dutou withdrew as lightly as a hunting dog.His room is next to Yang Fuguang's bedroom. Yang Fuguang's inner courtyard is guarded by layers of guards outside, but he is the only guard in the small courtyard. No one is allowed to trespass, and anyone who trespasses will die.King Yang believed him, but he dared not trust anyone.Qin Fan's assassins are unparalleled in the world, and there are countless heroes and generals.They once cut off their heads in their sleep.

He didn't rest, but took out a whetstone and a rag from the bed, fetched a basin of water, walked under the pear tree in the small courtyard, and began to work seriously and orderly.

He began to grind the guy. His weapon was a big axe, two hatchets, and two small hand axes. With these five axes, he also had the nickname of General Five-Axe .Although he, the five-axes general, had never left Yang Fuguang's side to command troops alone.But his five axes have drank the blood of many people.Some were ordered by King Yang, and some were the blood of those who wanted to harm King Yang.He never thought of himself as everything.General, he has always regarded himself as Duke Yang's closest guard.Since Yang Gong rescued him as a woodcutter from a group of horse thieves outside Xuzhou City in Zhongwu, Henan Province 20 years ago, he swore that he would protect him with his ax all his life. Twenty years have passed, and the ax in his hand has changed from the woodcutter back then to a set of five sharp treasures, but he has never forgotten the oath he made back then, and he has always guarded King Yang.

While sharpening the axe, Tian An thought of Yang Gong.Yang Gong's illness didn't come suddenly. In fact, he could see that Yang Gong had been working hard for the Tang Dynasty in the past few years. There is not a moment's rest.This time the attack was just a result of overdrawing too much effort before, and now it broke out together.He clearly felt that every time he hugged Duke Yang, his body became thinner and thinner.His body has completely straddled, even if he has been supporting it, it will be difficult for him to last for a month.

He remembered that when he had not followed Yang Gong back then, his father was just like Yang Gong during the period before his father died of a serious illness. Only skin and bones were left, and the whole person weighed less than fifty catties.

Tian An didn't start to put the guys away until the five axes had been sharpened one after another, and even the blades on both sides of the double-edged ax were sharp enough to be used for shaving.The big ax was stuck under the tree, two double-edged axes were placed on both sides of the body in the corridor, and two small hand axes were stuck in the belt.Then, he began to close his eyes, and sat cross-legged on the corridor in front of Yang Gong's gate.He has the ability to sit and sleep with one hand cross-legged, even half asleep and half awake, as long as there is a little movement, he can wake up.

Even if this is in Luoyang City, he will never change his habits.

The night was not peaceful, the strong wind brought showers, beating the sky and the earth under the night.

The city of Luoyang rises from the sky, and the long river runs thousands of miles every night.

The night is dark, the rain is dense, and the wind is tight.

Yang Shouliang lingered on the top of the upper east gate of the three east gates of Luoyang City. He was neatly dressed in armor and had a cape on his shoulders.

Yang Shouliang's confidant subordinate Meng Yu and other captains were all neatly dressed, and all of them stood guarding the upper east gate with solemn expressions.

During the time after the city gate was closed in the dark, Yang Shouliang had circled the city gate tower countless times, and a group of his subordinates who circled around became more and more nervous.

The rushing rain was getting heavier and heavier, but it also made the situation at the East Gate tonight even more special. All the sounds were covered by the sound of the rain.

God help me too!Yang Shouliang couldn't help thinking, after a while, a horse team came running suddenly in the rain under the city, and it was faintly visible in the sound of the rain. Yang Shouliang looked nervously, and saw the agreed signal. He was overjoyed, and quickly waved: " Quickly open the city gate!"

Two teams of defenders rushed into the rain, twisted the iron gate and drawbridge, and opened the two huge city gates nailed with large steel nails.

In the rain, a large army appeared from the east, fully armed, and came up to the east gate.

The leader, however, was Yiwu Jiedu envoy and servant Wang Chucun who entered the city at dusk to obtain the military order for the war.He rode on the horse, nodded to Yang Shouliang, and the eyes of each other crossed each other, neither of them said a word.Wang Chucunbi's brother Wang Chuzhi and his generals led their troops into the upper east gate. Under the cover of the sound of rain, they kept a steady pace and headed straight west. Luoshui.To the west is Guiyifang in Luoyang Palace City.A mansion next to the Taiping Temple in Guijiufang.Now it is Yang Fuguang's mansion.

The soldiers and horses walked for less than half an hour before entering the city. Yang Shouliang estimated that the Wang Chucun brothers pulled at least 1 people into the city.These people must be the soldiers and horses they have brought with them in the past few years, and they have already become their private army, the original Xichuan Shence Army.

After the soldiers and horses had entered, Yang Shouliang waved his hands to let his subordinates slowly close the city gate.

He was still in a daze, but brother Wang Chuzhi had already led the vanguard to the gate of Guiyifang, only heard the neighing of the mount.Then the guards in front of Guiyifang ran back and forth and shouted, looking a little heavy and depressed in the rain.

The night was well chosen, the heavy rain covered up Wang Chucun's movement, and they didn't react until they arrived in front of the defenders and made a sudden attack, but it was too late.Yang Fuguang's army was not small, but he had brought these soldiers to attack Shaanxi not long ago, to fight gold merchants, and after winning several prefectures and dozens of counties, he had to divide his troops to guard them.This time I hurried back to Luoyang.There are also many soldiers and horses placed in pass places such as Wulao and Longmen.Here in Luoyang City, there are not many soldiers.Some of them were stationed outside the city, and Wang Chucun's team was one of them.The other part is stationed in the city, but it can also guard the nine gates, as well as the imperial city and palace city.

No one expected that Wang Chucun and Yang Shouliang would collude together and suddenly enter Luoyang on such a rainy night.

Guiyifang was guarded by Yang Fuguang's pro-army, an elite army, but no matter how elite they were, they were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.Brother Wang Chucun continued to push forward along the way, and the guards of Guiyifang fell one by one and retreated.

On a rainy night, there was chaos in the city of Luoyang. The Wang brothers led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, with white towels tied on their arms, killing random people with knives and guns, and rushed straight to Yang's mansion.Along the way, the Yang family's guards in Guiyifang had already been lying on the ground in disorder, turning into corpses.There were still a few people fighting sporadically, but Wang Chucun had already led the troops straight into the mansion.

At this time, Wang Chuzhi took a troop of soldiers and horses to the south along the street, guarding several stone bridges on the Luoshui River, and blocked the connection between the south of Luoyang and Guiyifang.Wang Chucun directly attacked Yang's mansion, and Tian'an, the head of the guards, almost refused to defend it with his own strength. The strong gate of the mansion was crumbling under countless weapons.Wang Chucun outside the door commanded a fierce attack with a sword, while He An, in iron armor, stood behind the door like a giant, and shouted angrily: "Wang Chucun, King Yang treats you well and trusts you a lot, why don't you repay him with your appreciation?" Grace turned into revenge?"

"He who understands the current affairs is a hero, and he who is able to change is——now the general trend of the world is clear, and I can't bear to see the people of the world fall into the fire and water because of the personal interests of the Yang brothers. Follow the trend and accept the will of God and the people's hearts. A man of insight should do what he does. Tian An, why resist to the end and stop the car with your arms? Only Hedutou can satisfy the will of the army and the people, and Wang Mou will play for you in front of His Royal Highness Qin, without losing some glory and wealth. also!"

Tian Anzao's eyes were already wide open, "Stop talking nonsense, watch me take your head!"

Talking that the gate of the mansion has been breached, the two sides began to fight hand to hand, one side is determined to kill the master and servant, and the other side wants to change the ship as soon as possible, so as to gain the qualifications for promotion.There is no sword and no heart, and the soldiers have no eyes. For a while, knives and guns, swords and arrows, shouts, weapons, and screams come and go, and the chaos is intertwined.

Although Tian An has fought with Yang Fuguang for many years, the fighting like today is extremely cruel.

Wang Chucun knew that Tian An was fierce, so he refused to step forward, and only let his men hit him with a strong bow and crossbow. Facing Tian An's angry accusation, he didn't feel much guilt.Of course, since he was able to switch from Yang Fuguang to Tian Lingzi, and then from Tian Lingzi to Yang Fuguang, there is nothing difficult to make up his mind on this day.All the heroes competed in the Central Plains, and all of them were losers, only Li Jing was the winner.The situation is already clear, and there is 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 make up his mind so quickly.But yesterday he saw Yang Fuguang in person, and he could see clearly that Yang Fuguang was exhausted and could not live for a few more days.With the current situation of the Chang'an court, if there is no more Yang Fuguang, how can they resist Li Jing?

Hebei Second Town is gone, Hedong Town is gone, Hezhong Town is almost gone, and Luoyang and Chang'an are next. In a short time, the whole world will belong to that Li Sanlang.

There is no possibility of a comeback anymore, and the court has lost to the end.But Wang Chucun didn't want to lose along with him. The court could die, but the Wang family couldn't.By chance, they contacted Yang Fuguang's adopted son Yang Shouliang, who was also full of single-mindedness. They finally planned the military chaos tonight under Yang Fuguang's nose.

Since the Chang'an court is doomed and irretrievable, and since Yang Fuguang is already exhausted and will die soon, it is better to take advantage of it.Simply, take Luoyang, tie Yang Fuguang, and use it as a certificate of honor, in order to get a good result.

Bang, Tian An finally couldn't support himself alone, his body was full of crossbow arrows and he fell to the ground unwillingly.

Wang Chucun kicked open the door of Yang Fuguang's bedroom, and rushed in with a group of men carrying knives and guns, and said to Yang Fuguang who was struggling with anger, "Mr. Yang, I have wronged you for the time being." After finishing speaking, he turned his head and shouted to his subordinates: "Tie him up and keep him under strict supervision. The rest of you will follow me to take over Luoyang Palace!". )
