Zhu Changxiao's version of the Sui Dynasty
Chapter 166
In the Qianyang Palace in Luoyang, the Eastern Capital, a storm was brewing, and murderous intent suddenly rose. At this time, Yang Tong was discussing political affairs with the old Prime Minister Su Wei in the Qianyang Palace. Suddenly, the general Dugu Wudu rushed into the palace, looking nervous, and bowed to report: "Your Majesty, the soldiers of the Huainan Camp mutinied and are heading towards the inner palace."
Yang Tong had never seen such a change before, and was so scared that he didn't know what to do: "Why didn't Wang Shichong stop it?"
Dugu Wudu said: "It happened suddenly, The internal cause is still unclear. ”
Su Wei said: "You can order General Dugu Wudu to lead the inner palace guards to block the front yard first, wait for the troops to enter the palace, and then settle the rebels in Huainan Camp."
"Okay, okay." Yang Tong was trembling with fear: "Just follow the old prime minister's plan."
Dugu Wudu received the order and mobilized hundreds of inner palace guards to rush to the front yard of the hall to block the way, just in time to meet Wang Shichong who rushed into the palace.
Dugu Wudu's eyebrows stood upside down, his eyes wide open, and he asked in a stern voice: "General Wang, in broad daylight, led his troops into the palace in full armor, what is your intention?"
Wang Shichong showed no guilt, and said openly: "Officials in the court are only given to those who have made contributions, how can they be given to a thief like Li Mi? The soldiers of the three armies are not convinced, and they must be persuaded by the emperor to make it clear!"
When Dugu Wudu saw that things had come to this, he said to the deputy general in front of the palace, Ba Yegang: "I am enough in the front yard, General Ba Ye will take his troops to guard the inner palace."
As mentioned earlier, Ba Yegang had already colluded with Wang Shichong with Duan Da. In this mutiny, Ba Yegang acted as an insider. Ba Yegang did not expose himself, thinking to himself that Dugu Wudu would see how you can stop the tens of thousands of rebels in the Huainan camp, and he pretended to accept the order and retreated to guard.
Wang Shichong did not dare to delay, and waved his hand. The two deputy generals on the left and right rushed out with their spears. Dugu Wudu raised his long spear and refused to give in. After a few rounds, he stabbed the two generals to death.
Wang Shichong was furious and roared. A team of Huainan camp soldiers rushed out together. Unexpectedly, among more than 50 people, no one could fight Dugu Wudu, and all of them went without returning.
Wang Shichong was shocked. He had served in the same court with Dugu Wudu, but he had never looked up to him. Today, he had never thought that Dugu Wudu's martial arts were so strong. In a hurry, Wang Shichong shouted: "The soldiers in the front camp rushed out together. Let's see what Dugu Wudu can do with his three heads and six arms!"
The three hundred soldiers in the front camp rushed out together with swords and spears. Dugu Wudu still showed no fear, and led dozens of his imperial guards to rush forward. After a short fight, all the imperial guards died, but no Huainan soldier could move Dugu Wudu.
At this time, Wang Ren waved the Eight Treasures Camel Dragon Sword and shouted, "Dugu Wudu, give me your life!" Dugu Wudu jumped out, and the two fought for ten rounds, but Dugu Wudu knocked his weapon off and almost lost his life.
Dugu Wudu saw that no one dared to go up, and couldn't help laughing, and asked, "Wang Shichong! You Huainan soldiers are extremely arrogant, with a false reputation. Today's fight is nothing more than this. Do you still dare to fight?"
Wang Shichong was so scared that he stepped back a few steps. Dugu Wudu stood alone in front of the door, and no one under his command dared to fight. I saw Ba Yegang walk quietly from the back to the front yard and stand behind Dugu Wudu.He whispered, "General Dugu, please take a rest. I will take your place."
Dugu Wudu sneered and said, "The rats of Huainan are not worth worrying about!" Before he finished speaking, he heard a "Puff!" sound. Ba Yegang stabbed Dugu Wudu in the back with a knife. Dugu Wudu's eyes widened, half turned around, and silently said, "You traitor..." Then he fell to the ground and died. This is:
The power of Sui and Tang dynasties is unmatched, and the loyalty and righteousness are as high as the sky.
Ten thousand men are not worthy of bravery, and the traitors are plotting for the imperial power.
Ba Yegang killed Dugu Wudu and led the remaining imperial guards to open the palace gate and welcome Wang Shichong's rebels. The rebels rushed into the Qianyang Palace and surrounded Emperor Huangtai Yang Tong and the old prime minister Su Wei. Yang Tong was already scared and didn't know what to do, but Su Wei was alert and quickly bowed and greeted him with a smile: "Comrades, I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar, I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar."
"Stop pretending to be confused!" Wang Renze said: "We are here to make a military remonstration, please ask the emperor to draft an order to execute Yuan Wendu and other officials."
Yang Tong thought he was going to be killed, but when he heard that Yuan Wendu was going to be killed, his heart was slightly relieved, and he asked: "What crime did Yuan Aiqing commit? Enraging the soldiers?"
Wang Renze said: "Recruiting bandits and neglecting the official army, we will not accept it!"
As he said, Wang Renze picked up a brush on the dragon desk and handed it to Yang Tong. With a fierce look, he said: "Your Majesty, please approve and execute Yuan Wendu!"
Yang Tong looked at the imperial brush and hesitated. Su Wei saw that Wang Renze had a cruel temperament and was worried about hurting Yang Tong, so he pursed his lips and winked. Yang Tong had no choice but to write an edict and behead Yuan Wendu.
Wang Shichong's uncle and nephew incorporated the imperial guards, executed Yuan Wendu and other peace advocates, occupied Luoyang, proclaimed himself King of Zheng, and imprisoned Emperor Huangtai Yang Tong in the inner palace Hanliang Hall. Wang Shichong also became a hero at the end of the Sui Dynasty. Wang Shichong immediately issued an order to summon the Eastern Capital Imperial Guards and the Huainan Camp soldiers to march eastward to attack Wagang.
The leader of the Wagang Army, the King of Wei, Li Mi, first received the imperial edict of recruiting and then the imperial edict of declaring war, which confused him. He was furious and led 100,000 Wagang troops to Luoyang to fight against Wang Shichong.
Li Mi was full of resentment and indignation. The Wagang generals were worried that Li Mi would act on impulse and end up in trouble. A large group of troops hurried to Beimang Mountain. General Pei Renji urged his horse to go a few steps faster and caught up with Li Mi, advising him: "My lord, you are determined to fight a decisive battle. I think there are many unexpected things, so please be cautious."
Li Mi said: "Wang Shichong's Huainan Camp plus the imperial guards have only more than 30,000 people. I still have 100,000 troops. What is there to be afraid of?"
Pei Renji felt that this was a bit of underestimation of the enemy, and advised: "Wang Shichong took the initiative to attack, so he must be well prepared. My lord, it is better to avoid his sharp edge and attack Luoyang by detour."
Li Mi said with a sneer on his face: "Since Wang Shichong reinforced Luoyang, he has never won a battle. General Pei is worrying too much."
Suddenly, there were several flags fluttering in front. Looking from a distance, soldiers gradually came into view. On the flag was a huge "Zheng" character printed. Pei Renji said: "My lord, please form your battle array quickly. It must be King Zheng, Wang Shichong."
The road to Beimang Mountain is not wide. The 100,000 Wagang troops deployed their troops on the mountain road.There was a crowd of people, and the situation was chaotic. Wang Shichong was coming towards them, and the terrain was slightly higher. When he saw the Wagang army changing their formation on the mountain road, he was overjoyed: "The enemy soldiers are in chaos, follow me to kill them down Beimang Mountain!"
The Wagang army was still arranging their formations, and Wang Shichong's war drums were beating over there, and 30,000 soldiers shouted and rushed out. In a hurry, Li Mi didn't care about arranging his troops, and rushed up the hillside with his soldiers.
The Wagang army was in a panic and was scattered by the soldiers of the Huainan camp along the hillside. Li Mi was about to be unable to resist, and Pei Renji and Wang Bodang rushed over to stop the enemy soldiers and save Li Mi. There was another melee. This is:
Before the battle drums in front of the Mangbei formation, the tiger going up the mountain met the tiger going down the mountain.
The mud flew and the grass rolled into dust, and the iron armor and bronze spears fell to the ground.
While the fighting was going on at Beimang Mountain, Wang Shichong's nephew Wang Renze was ordered to guard Emperor Huangtai Yang Tong. Since Wang Shichong had killed all of Yuan Wendu's followers, he was worried about losing the support of the people, so he kept Su Wei in the court as prime minister to win over all the officials.
Su Wei took advantage of Wang Shichong's military expedition and hurried to the palace to meet Emperor Huangtai Yang Tong
When Yang Tong saw Su Wei, he burst into tears and choked up, asking Su Wei: "I am imprisoned by Wang Shichong, and my life and death are no longer in my control. I don't know how many days I have left to live?"
Seeing the miserable situation of the little emperor, Su Wei also burst into tears and choked up, saying: "Your Majesty's life and death all depend on the decisive battle in Beimang Mountain today. If Wang Shichong loses, he will not dare to harm Your Majesty; if Wang Shichong wins, then all of the Central Plains will be Wang Shichong, and Your Majesty's life will be in danger." The old minister and the young master talked for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, Su Wei got up and left Hanliang Palace.
As soon as Su Wei walked out of the palace, he saw Wang Renze coming towards him with a group of soldiers. Su Wei was shocked and wondered if he was going to harm the little emperor. Su Wei hurriedly bowed and took the opportunity to stop Wang Renze: "General, how is the battle in Beimang Mountain?"
Wang Renze glanced at him with a worried look and smiled: "My uncle defeated the Wagang Army."
Su Wei was stunned, knowing that Yang Tong must be desperate this time. Wang Renze led his soldiers into the Hanliang Palace. Yang Tong had not seen soldiers for many days, and was frightened to see Wang Renze leading his soldiers into the palace.
Wang Renze said: "King Zheng sent a pot of wine to your majesty to celebrate the great victory."
The guard next to him brought the wine pot and handed it over. Yang Tong grew up in the palace since he was a child. If it were not for poison, the wine pot would not be easily given to others. At this moment, he knew in his heart that Wang Shichong had defeated Li Mi and became the overlord of the Central Plains, and he, the puppet emperor, had left it redundant.
Yang Tong said: "I know that my time has come, but I am concerned about the Empress Dowager."
Yang Tong thought of the Empress Dowager Xiao Jun, who was trapped by Yu Wenzhi, so he faced the east and kowtowed repeatedly. The guard next to him poured out a cup of poisoned wine, and Wang Renze brought it to him: "Your Majesty, you should leave early."
Yang Tong took the poisoned wine and sighed to the sky: "I hope that from now on, I will never be reborn in the imperial family." After that, Emperor Huangtai Yang Tong drank the poisoned wine. After drinking the poisoned wine, Yang Tong vomited blood and fell to the ground. He tossed and turned, but he did not die. Wang Renze pulled off a belt, strangled Yang Tong, and strangled him to death.
Wang Renze and others left Hanliang Palace, and Su Wei happened to beWaiting outside the palace, Wang Renze asked: "What are you waiting for, old Prime Minister? The emperor has passed away."
Su Wei hurriedly smiled and said: "Does your majesty have any last words before he dies?"
Wang Renze said: "The emperor said that he would never be born in the imperial family again from now on." After that, Wang Shichong led his men out of the inner palace. It can be said that:
It is difficult for a hero who wants to usurp the throne to be in the same family, and he has suffered the heart of three generations of old ministers in vain.
The royal family is so miserable, and the world is sad and chanting.
Su Wei seemed calm, but he was heartbroken. He returned to his house alone and was silent for a long time. At this time, the family member Zhang Tonger brought the food: "Master, you are silent, why don't you eat something first."
Su Wei's old eyes were wet, and he was extremely sad: "This time I returned to Luoyang to assist the young master and strive to revive the Sui Dynasty. But now, the treacherous ministers usurped power and the young master was killed. I am unworthy of being an old minister of the Sui Dynasty for three dynasties."
Zhang Tonger said: "The current plan is to go to Chang'an. Tang Wang Li Yuan has supported Dai Wang Yang You. It is better to go to Chang'an and support Yang You. ”
Su Wei slapped his thigh and said, "Yang You is the only one left in the royal family of the Sui Dynasty. Tong'er, I have something else I want to trouble you to do."
Tong'er Zhang bowed and said, "Master, what are you talking about? I have followed you for many years. If you have anything, just tell me."
Su Wei asked, "I heard that you are originally from Shandong, and your family is all in your hometown. You haven't visited home for several years, right?"
"Reporting to the master, I haven't been home for six or seven years." Tong'er Zhang said.
Su Wei nodded and said, "How about this, I will give you three hundred taels of silver, and you can go back to your hometown in Shandong to live."
"Master? You..." Zhang Tong'er was shocked and asked, "Where did I fail to serve you well? You want to send me back home?"
Su Wei smiled slightly, "I am eighty years old, how many days can I still use someone to serve me? But the Queen Mother is still trapped in the hands of the rebels. I promised to visit the emperor's grandson Yang Tong in the East Capital. Now that Yang Tong has been killed, no one can tell her. So I took this opportunity to send someone home and find the Queen Mother on the way to tell her the truth."
"I see." Zhang Tong'er bowed and said, "Master has worked hard for the Sui Dynasty. I will definitely live up to the mission on this trip." Su Wei was overjoyed and ordered the butler to collect three hundred taels of silver and let him rush to Shandong to meet Xiao Jun.
While Wang Shichong, the Prince of Zheng, defeated Li Mi, the Prince of Wei, and the soldiers of each camp were busy celebrating, Su Wei secretly left Luoyang with his servants and went to Chang'an; while Zhang Tong'er took the silver and Su Wei's letter and rushed to Shandong. The master and servant split into two groups and went away.
Let's just say that Zhang Tong'er dressed up as a poor scholar and went east. Along the way, there were remnants of the Wagang Army. Since the defeat of the Wagang Army in Beimang Mountain, the Central Plains was empty for a while. The Great Xia King Dou Jiande took advantage of the situation and led his troops south.
Wei Lord Li Mi had no place to stay in the east, and was afraid of encountering Xia King Dou Jiande, so he took the remnants of the defeated army and went west to Guanzhong to join Tang King Li Yuan. Along the way, there were only people going west, and no one going east. Zhang Tong'er was in a panic, fearing that he would encounter chaotic soldiers halfway. Fortunately, we were able to travel safely.
As we were about to reach Liaocheng, we suddenly saw a group of soldiers coming to meet us.Zhang Tong'er was frightened by the sight of the soldiers coming towards him, and he dodged in a hurry. However, the soldiers on the opposite side had already seen Zhang Tong'er and shouted loudly: "Fellow countryman, please walk slowly. I have something to ask you."
After hearing this tone, Zhang Tong'er looked at the soldiers' attire again. They did not look like bandits in the mountains, but were flying the banner of the Xia flag. He guessed that this was the army of Xia Wang Dou Jiande, so he approached them tremblingly.
The leader urged his horse forward. He was only forty years old, with sword-like eyebrows and eagle eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth, a white face and black beard, a purple band on his head, a dark blue robe with dark patterns, a tiger-head chain mail, and an elephant-trunk ancient moon sword in his hand.
Zhang Tong'er had never seen this person before, but he looked familiar. Thinking carefully, he had seen the portrait of the arrest by the court. This person was one of the leaders of the uprising army at that time, the Changbai hero Wang Bo! This leads to:
The heroes at the end of the Sui Dynasty were arrogant, and Liaocheng also produced kings.
It is called Da Xu Ru Tan Xiao, and the farce is the second title of Xiao Meiniang.
