As if a basin of cold water had been poured on him, the fire in Wang Xun's heart was extinguished instantly. Bian Lingcheng was indeed acting according to the order. One of the culprits who killed Uncle Feng was hiding in Shu and the other was hiding in Lingwu. However, he
It was impossible to kill him unless he, like Yu Wenzhi, raised the flag of rebellion and spread the flames of war throughout the Tang Dynasty.
While he was angry, there was suddenly another rush of horse hoofbeats on the street. Jia Chang, the Marquis of Anle, rode a bloody war horse and rushed over like a madman, shouting loudly as he ran, "Where is Wang Jiedu? Wang Jiedu is here."
Where? Wang Mingyun, take me to see Wang Mingyun quickly, something serious is going to happen!"
"I'm here, what's going on!" Wang Xun left Bian Lingcheng behind and looked back. He saw Anle Jia Chang rolled off his mount with his body covered in bright red like he was fished out of a pool of blood. He moved towards him with his hands and feet.
He crawled by himself, crying and saying: "Go quickly, go to the Dongshi area. The Huihe people have entered the city from the north gate, demanding blood, and wash Chang'an with blood!"
"What...?" Wang Xun was shocked. He rushed over, hugged Jia Chang with both hands, and asked sternly, "Where is Guo Shuai? Why didn't Guo Shuai stop him? Those Uighurs are under his control?!"
"I don't know, I don't know!" Jia Chang took a breath and cried loudly, "I opened the city gate and let them in to help deal with the rebels. Unexpectedly, after they entered the door, they immediately started killing people and setting fires. My people went to stop them.
They killed them all with one knife! Go quickly and bring people there quickly, otherwise, Beicheng and the palace area will be in ruins!"
"Damn it!" Wang Xun was furious. He left Jia Chang and strode out. "Blow the trumpet and order the Anxi Army to give up chasing the rebels and gather near Dongshi. I'll wait for them over there!" As he walked, he
He issued an order loudly. From the corner of his eye, he saw the prisoners kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, and quickly added, "If you want to survive, get on your horse and follow me to kill the Huihe people. Drive them away, and I will accept you into the Anxi Army!"
"
"Thank you, Marshal!" The rebel cavalry was overjoyed and immediately got up to pack their weapons and horses. Captain Zhou and other defeated soldiers also packed their weapons and prepared to fish in troubled waters behind Wang Xun. When the old eunuch Bian Lingcheng saw this, he smiled even more happily.
While rolling in a pool of blood, he taunted loudly, "Haha, haha, this is the Tang Dynasty you rebuilt. Haha, haha, our family is laughing to death, our family is laughing to death!"
"Go to hell!" Anlehou Jia Chang came over, raised his knife and cut off Bian Lingcheng's neck.
Wang Xun had no intention of quarreling with Bian Lingcheng anymore. This man had gone completely crazy, and there was no difference between living and dead. What he was annoyed about was that he was negligent in doing things, and did not even consider the 100,000 Huihe reinforcements under Guo Ziyi's command. Other various
Even though the military discipline was as chaotic as that of the Shenwu Army, he could barely suppress it with the strength of the Anxi Army. However, the overall strength of the more than 100,000 Huihe reinforcements was far superior to that of the Anxi Army. How could he do that?
face?!
"I'm going to find Guo Ziyi!" Jia Chang picked up Bian Lingcheng's head and staggered after him from behind. "Since he is the marshal of the world's military, he can't just ignore everything?! In Chang'an, after all, he still needs to
If the capital city is looted by the Huihe people, the emperor will not let him go lightly!"
"I will send someone to escort you. No matter where he is hiding, we will dig him out!" Wang Xun nodded and agreed with a straight face. He didn't understand why Guo Ziyi indulged the Huihe people so much. With the current strength of the Tang Dynasty, even if
Without the help of these Huihe soldiers, the rebels can still be slowly dealt with. Now it's good to fight the tiger at the front door and the wolf at the back door...
"You should be more careful!" Jia Chang got on the horse again with the help of Mo Daoshou, and whispered to Wang Xun, "I know what happened tonight, Guo Ziyi and you have a tacit understanding for a long time. But that guy is mature.
Refined……"
Just as he was about to tell Wang Xun a few more words about the importance of guarding against others, he saw that the other party had already jumped on a mount presented by the captives and galloped towards Dongshi.
"Ah-----!" Jia Chang, the Marquis of Anle, shook his head and sighed in a low voice. Then he raised his head resolutely and struck the horse's back with his whip, "You go and protect Wang Jiedu yourself. I will go out of the city to find Guo Ziyi and Li Siye.
And Li Guangbi, Jia doesn’t believe that all the generals in the Tang Dynasty only want to get promoted and get rich!"
"Master Jia, be careful!" Wei Feng and others agreed, organized the team, and led everyone to Dongshi. They were all wearing heavy armor, so of course they couldn't walk too fast. Finally they arrived at their destination and scattered around the city chasing after them.
Other soldiers and horses from Gulu Anxi who killed the rebels also arrived. Everyone gathered together, looking at the north that was burned red by the flames, their faces full of anger.
Almost a quarter of Chang'an was set on fire. The fierce fire mixed with thick smoke illuminated Chang'an like daylight. In the light of the fire, the soldiers saw groups of Uighur soldiers carrying large and small packages, bronzes and wooden utensils they had snatched.
Women and children danced with laughter.
"Stop, stop! Stop immediately. Otherwise, we will kill you without mercy!" Song Wu, Wanqi Yuxie, Wang Shisan and others led the Anxi Army cavalry and shouted at the Uighur thieves. The other party refused to pay attention to them at all, until the horses rushed towards them.
When he reached his side, he raised his machete and shooed him away like flies. At the same time, he muttered a string of strange words.
"Master, help me!" A woman in ragged clothes rushed out of the workshop and shouted for help. Several Uighur soldiers caught up with her from behind, chopped her over with a knife, and then took off her bloody clothes with a smile.
clothing.
"Damn it!" Wanqi Yuxie was furious. He rode his horse over and chopped down the offending Uighur soldiers to the ground. This stirred up a hornet's nest. The Uighurs who had previously ignored the Anxi army dropped the gold and silver they had stolen.
Xinruan, holding weapons high, surrounded Wanqi Yuxie in the center.
"Kill!" How could Wang Xun helplessly watch Wanqi Yuxie being hacked to death? He waved his hands vigorously without considering the consequences of the conflict between the two armies. The entire group of Anxi Army brothers behind him had long been furious and rushed forward in a queue.
, dispersed the Uighurs who besieged Wanqi Yuxiu, and rescued all their brothers.
The nearby Uighur soldiers were furious and did not care to continue looting. They gathered in one place and, led by a nobleman dressed as a young Burke, launched a counterattack against the Anxi army. Wang Xun had no way to retreat, so he also waved his flag.
The other three regiments of troops were pressed forward.
Although they did not have an advantage in terms of numbers, street fighting was the specialty of the Anxi Army. Led by generals at all levels, more than a thousand brothers marched into formation and soon divided the group of Uighur soldiers in front of them into several sections.
.Although the Uighur soldiers who were divided and surrounded were large in number, their cooperation with each other was far less skilled than that of the Anxi Army. Their combat experience and training level were also not the same as those of the Anxi Army. They were first shot by archers and sent scurrying away, and then were shot by Wanqi.
Yu Xie led the Tiger Wing Battalion and beheaded a man who was on his back. Most of the remaining soldiers and horses saw that the momentum was not right, screamed in agony, and ran towards the outside of the city.
"Gather the team, push north along here. Drive the thieves out of Chang'an!" Now that the fight has started, Wang Xun has no scruples anymore. He simply orders directly, starting from Dongshi and targeting the Uighurs who rush into the city.
, purge the entire Chang'an.
"Nuo!" Mo Daoshou, Changshanshou, shield bearers, archers, cavalry, infantry, heavy troops, as well as the Yaochashui team from the Western Regions who had been following Wang Xun back to Chang'an responded in unison. They held their hands high.
weapons and launched an attack array.
The Uighur people who were looting everywhere were caught off guard and were defeated by the Anxi army. Soon, they were driven out from the Dongshi and Chongrenfang areas, and fled to the northwest of Chang'an City, screaming and cursing all the way.
Wang Xun divided a thousand elite troops, led by Song Wu, to re-block the city gates on the north side. Then he followed the footsteps of the defeated Uighur troops and continued to push forward, passing by the East Palace, Taiji Palace, and Yeting Palace, and pushed the Uighurs to Chang'an.
Northwest corner of the city, near Gwanghwamun.
Along the way, they constantly encountered rebels and Tang troops taking advantage of the situation. They were also regarded as accomplices of the Huihe people by the Anxi army. They killed and drove them away and drove them outside Guanghua Gate.
The people of Chang'an, who had been waiting for death, suddenly saw a team fighting with the robbers. No matter which emperor they were, they knelt down on the roadside and worshiped.
Wang Xun had no time to accept the people's kneeling, nor did he have the courage to accept it. He just led the team to push forward. He was the one who brought about tonight's disaster. If he insisted on not letting the rebels go, Chang'an City might not have suffered this catastrophe. If
…..
However, the sights along the way interrupted his confession.
The Imperial Palace did not suffer any damage, and the East Palace, Taiji Palace, and Yeting Palace were intact. Fuxingfang and Xiudefang were slightly affected. On the east side of the imperial city, Chongrenfang, which Wang Xun was most concerned about, did not suffer much damage.
As if they had received special instructions, the Uighur people deliberately avoided the residences of the royal family and dignitaries. The closer to the palace, the smaller the damage. The further away, the more serious the damage.
As he drove away the bandits all the way, Wang Xun's brows furrowed closer and closer. Something was wrong. There was definitely something wrong with this situation. But he couldn't tell what the specific problem was. Occasionally he caught a few Uighur prisoners because the opponent's level was too low.
, the information we have is limited, and we can’t ask Ziwu Maoyou.
The Anxi Army never shows mercy to its enemies. In the blink of an eye, another wave of anger drove the gangsters out of the Gwanghwamun Gate. After leaving the Gwanghwamun Gate, the gangsters fled in all directions. Only the gangsters were left on the ground.
They were wrapped in small bundles, all dripping with blood.
"You take my saber and go into the city to deliver an order to have police officers from Chang'an and Wannian counties go out on the streets to maintain law and order. If you encounter anyone who takes advantage of the situation, just kill them. No matter who you kill, the Anxi Army will take care of them!" Wang Xun continued.
He held the knife across his waist and handed it over to the guard commander Wang Shisan. The situation tonight was too chaotic, and he did not dare to easily divide his troops into the city to clean up the remaining bandits. He could only hand over the task to the local police, hoping that they would respect the fellow villagers.
I have always done my part to fulfill my responsibilities due to my generous support.
"No!" Wang Shisan wiped the blood from his face and took the order to leave. The other generals were reorganizing their troops and preparing for the next battle. Just now, everyone killed all the friendly troops without distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy.
Everyone is offended. No one knows what will happen next moment!
They didn't have to wait too long. After about half a stick of incense, a low trumpet sounded outside the city. Immediately afterwards, countless lanterns and torches surged to the bottom of Chang'an City like waves. In front of the sea of lanterns, Prince Ye Hu of Huihe held a wolf in his hand.
Yazhuan said with an angry face, "Young man named Wang, if you have the guts, don't hide away?!"
"The one named Wang, come out! The one named Wang, come out!"
"Dare to take action, don't hide behind others like women!" The Uighur soldiers who felt insulted shouted in unison, repeating the provocative words over and over again in Tang dialect and Turkic dialect.
"Wang is right here!" Wang Xun gently tapped his stirrup and urged his mount forward. "May I ask what Prince Ye Hu has to say for your advice?!"
He was so famous in the Western Regions that even riding alone put Prince Ye Hu under tremendous pressure. The latter first looked to his side to make sure that all the loyal guards were there. Then he waved his scimitar.
, bared his teeth and said: "Your emperor invited us to come to help in the war, how could you turn your back and deny me?! You just killed at least a thousand of my brothers. If you don't pay the full amount, don't blame me for ignoring the friendship between the two families!"
"
"The friendship between the two families?!" Wang Xun heard from Prince Ye Hu's words that the other party did not want to fight him desperately. He was stunned and asked with a smile, "Why didn't Wang see the friendship between the two families? Wang Xun
I just saw your people burning, killing and looting in front of my house. If Wang lets you do whatever you want, can Wang still be considered a man?"
"In front of your home?" Prince Ye Hu was also stunned. Immediately, he remembered the other party's place of origin. As a Zhongyuan expert who grew up reading Han books, he knew that Wang Xun's actions were reasonable and reasonable. However, the interests of the tribe prevented him from easily asking the other party.
Compromise. "Where is your doorstep? This is clearly the rebels' lair! Anyone who enters the city can take possession of the enemy's property, men and women. How can you take it all by yourself?!"
This is strictly a rule of the Western Region. When Wang Xun's troops entered Zhezhe, he also divided the entire city with his allies. However, Chang'an was his home, and the people living there were neither enemy citizens nor aliens! His eyebrows jumped up.
Jump, he let out a cold snort from his nostrils, "Even if everyone who enters the city has a share, you still have to line up far behind Wang. Wang was the first to fight outside Chang'an City and fought nearly a hundred battles with the rebels.
, and finally captured this city. Who have you fought against? How many rebels have you killed? What achievements have you made? You actually dare to use the word "share account" with Wang!"
"You!" Prince Ye Hu blushed and waved the sword back and forth in his hand. Although he had many soldiers and horses under his command, the number of enemies he killed was far less than that of the Anxi army. His role in the capture of Chang'an was even less impressive. Among them were
The reason why the Anxi Army arrived early is that the bigger reason is that Guo Ziyi only wanted to defeat the enemy without fighting and did not fight against the rebels at all!
Since neither the principles of the Central Plains nor the principles of the Western Regions could gain any advantage, Prince Ye Hu simply pulled off the last layer of fig leaf. "What's the use of all this?! When your emperor borrowed troops from my father, he once
He personally promised that after the city of Chang'an is captured, the city and palace will belong to him, and we can take whatever people and property there are in Huihe. It is written there in black and white, are you going to default on your debt?!"
"What!" As if he heard a thunderbolt, Wang Xun's body swayed and he almost fell off his mount. No wonder the Uighur people deliberately avoided the palace and nearby buildings when setting fire, and no wonder the Uighur people were confident when they robbed. It turns out that,
It turned out that Li Heng and his son had sold Chang'an City long ago.
But since the imperial court had sold Chang'an, why didn't Guo Ziyi make it clear to himself? Instead, he spared no effort to create an opportunity for the Anxi Army to enter Chang'an first?! With the last glimmer of hope, he struggled to sit up straight and said in a trembling voice:
"You lied, General Guo. Why did General Guo never tell Wang about this matter? Bring me the evidence, otherwise, there is no way you can enter Chang'an City!"
"Guo Ziyi, where is Guo Ziyi? He is a kind person, and he will definitely not help you go back on his word!" Seeing that Wang Xun's expression did not seem to be fake, Prince Ye Hu frowned and shouted loudly, "You guys, hurry up and find Guo Ziyi. Let him
Come out and testify, come out and testify for me. When we made the covenant, he saw it with his own eyes. It is written in black and white, and he cannot deny it even if he wants to!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of noise suddenly came from behind the sea of lanterns. Immediately, several horses, carrying an old man with white beard and hair, slowly walked out.
This person was none other than Guo Ziyi. Tonight he was not wearing the marshal robe of the Tang Dynasty, nor was he carrying any weapons. Like an old man next door, he stopped between Wang Xun and Ye Hu, and gently held his hand, "Prince Ye Hu
Calm down your anger for now. Don’t be angry at Wang Jiedu either. We are all our own people, what matters cannot be discussed slowly?!"
"Then tell me, did your emperor sign a contract with my father? After regaining Chang'an, the palace buildings in the city will belong to the Tang Dynasty, and the children's treasures will return to Huihe. Did you sign it, did you sign it?!" Prince Ye Hu didn't want to give anything.
To save face, he roared loudly at Guo Ziyi.
Tens of thousands of pairs of eyes turned together and turned to Guo Ziyi, who had flowing white hair. The old general was almost suffocated by the gazes of everyone. He struggled a few times, nodded with difficulty, and responded in a low voice: "Indeed, it was true.
We have this agreement. Your Majesty, Your Majesty had no choice but to do so at that time!"
"I don't care if he has no choice but to do it. Once you sign the contract, it must count!" Prince Ye Hu roared loudly and danced at Wang Xun.
Brush! It was as if the water from the entire Tianhe River had poured down, drenching Wang Xun and all the brothers from the Anxi Army behind him. Everyone felt like the sky was spinning, the earth was spinning, and the surrounding torches and lamps were all gone.
It kept beating. A heart that was once fiery suddenly became as cold and hard as thousands of years of ice.
Everyone once vowed to rebuild a Tang Dynasty on the ruins!
But if the rebuilt Tang Dynasty looks like this, what's the point of rebuilding it?! Suddenly, Wang Xun thought of the brothers' eyes that couldn't be closed by the Yaocha River. And what he once said
Those heroic words. Then, he saw Xue Jingxian's face that was hesitant to speak, and the cautious looks of the Qin brothers that day.
It turns out that you all knew this a long time ago? Surrounded by the boundless coldness and darkness, he turned his head with difficulty and looked at Guo Ziyi's side. The Qin brothers did not dare to meet his eyes and turned their heads away to look at themselves.
behind.
The boundless lamp ball torches were like an ocean. Li Siye, Bai Xiaode, Wang Sili, Pugu Huaien, Li Guangbi and other Tang generals led their troops and horses and rushed there angrily. Just now, their brothers were attacked indiscriminately by the Anxi Army.
, they must seek justice for their brothers.
Xue Jingxian also hurried over with his troops and horses. When he saw Wang Xun's angry eyes, he buried his head in his chest in shame. There were more than 100,000 soldiers and horses on the opposite side of the Anxi Army. With these few brothers under his command, even if they rushed up to give Wang Xun
Xun's help was of no use. He could only stand at a distance and watch the progress of the situation.
"Second brother, second brother, don't be impulsive. Don't be impulsive!" Another panicked shout came from behind. Ma Fang, the deputy commander of Shenwu General, was panting and his face was covered with sweat. He rushed to Wang Xun and grabbed his horse.
Leansheng said, "Second brother, if you have something to say, don't be impulsive. Don't be impulsive. As long as our brothers are here, sooner or later we can get back to where we are today!"
"You also know?" Wang Xun turned his gaze to him and asked for help.
"I, I..." Ma Fang didn't know what Wang Xun was asking, but he guessed the truth from everyone's faces. His immature face immediately turned red, he shook his head and said loudly: "I don't know what you said
What? But I didn’t mean to let you divide the troops. No, I really didn’t mean to let you divide the troops. I just want to save Master and Zhang Tanhua as soon as possible. Really, I can swear to God!"
"No need! I believe you!" Wang Xun opened his mouth, his hoarse voice filled with bitterness. He believed that Ma Fang would not intentionally harm him, but it was a fact that half of his elite men were not around at the moment.
Someone took advantage of Ma Fang, someone had already started preparing for this moment! It was not to protect Chang'an, but to successfully hand over the Hecheng elders to the Huihe people as slaves.
"Haha, haha, this is the Tang Dynasty you rebuilt. Haha, haha, it makes our family laugh to death, it makes our family laugh to death!" Bian Lingcheng's laughter suddenly sounded from his ears again, with a sound of despair.
.
He wanted to chop down the ghost with a knife, but his body seemed to be frozen, unable to move at all. He wanted to scold Guo Ziyi and Li Heng for being shameless, and opened his mouth, but no words came out. He only felt that his eyes were black, and his throat was
He choked, "Wow!" and a mouthful of blood spurted out!
"General!"
"Commander!"
Wan Qi Yu Xie, Fang Ziling and others quickly rushed out, rushed to Wang Xun's side, and held him tightly. "Let's go, let's go, don't worry about other things here."
"Let's go back to the Western Regions, go back to the Western Regions, and live our own good life!" Wei Feng, Zhu Wuyi and others gathered around and cried loudly to persuade them.
"Let's go, let's go. This is not our Tang Dynasty. The emperor can give it to whomever he wants, it has nothing to do with us!" Anxi veteran who had come back from thousands of miles away was also crying and admonishing with tears on his face.
.
The cry was like a knife, piercing into the heart of the old general Guo Ziyi. The old man's face turned red, purple, and black even if the mountains collapsed in front of him. He wanted to say something, but found that he had nothing to say. He sighed.
He took a breath and gently pulled the war horse aside.
Li Siye, Bai Xiaode, Wang Sili, Pugu Huaien, Li Guangbi and other generals of the Tang Dynasty arrived angrily with their troops. Seeing this scene, they felt sour in their hearts. They no longer wanted to ask Wang Xun about his crime of killing his allies.
, I just hope that this night will pass as soon as possible, pass as soon as possible, the sooner the better.
"You heard it all, right? I didn't lie to you?! Because you didn't know about it before, I don't care about tonight's matter. Get your people out of the way quickly, I want to go there in person
Count the spoils!" Ye Hu, Prince of Uighur, was very proud, pointing the tip of his sword forward, and graciously expressed to Wang Xun that he could forget the past.
This kind intention did not get him the reward he "deserves". Wang Xun slowly straightened up, slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, slowly pushed away the confidant who was supporting him, and then raised his head.
He sneered loudly: "Are you talking about Li Heng? How qualified is he to sell Chang'an to you!"
"You...?" Not only Prince Ye Hu, but also the other Tang generals who had just arrived nearby were stunned. Although the Anxi Army was arrogant before, it still obeyed the orders of the Tang Dynasty. But now, Wang Xun actually
Calling His Majesty the Emperor by his name clearly reveals his rebellious intentions.
"Chang'an is not the private property of the Li family. Neither is the Tang Dynasty!" Wang Xun reached for his waist and touched his own Hengdao. He turned around and snatched the Mo Dao from Wei Feng's hand.
He tilted his hand and said, "Wang doesn't care who promised you or what contract you signed! This is Wang's home. If you want to kill someone and set fire to it, you have to step over Wang's body first."
"You...?" Prince Ye Hu was stunned again, and immediately wanted to order an attack. Suddenly he remembered the opponent's record of destroying a country with 600 people in the Western Regions. He hesitated and turned his attention to Guo Ziyi.
Guo Ziyi seemed not to have expected Wang Xun's reaction to be so violent. She bent down and kept coughing. Prince Ye Hu couldn't find help from the old fox, so he turned his attention to Li Siye, Li Guangbi and others, "What he just said, do you think
Did you all hear it?! He is going to rebel, rebel, don’t you hear?"
Li Guangbi, Li Siye and others looked at each other, who did not have the courage to respond to Prince Ye Hu's words. However, they even lacked the courage to agree with Wang Xun's words just now.
Seeing everyone's expressions in his eyes, Wang Xun grinned, his mouth full of scarlet, "Wang repeats it again, this Chang'an is not the private property of the Li family. This Tang Dynasty is not a Tang Dynasty owned by one family. This place
This is Wang’s home, and anyone who wants to kill someone or set fire to it must first step over Wang’s body.”
After that, he no longer cared about the expressions of anyone on the other side, raised his Mo Dao high, and shouted loudly: "Anxi Army, prepare to fight!"
“呜呜,呜呜呜,呜呜呜呜————”龙吟般的角声从军阵中响起,缓缓响彻整个长安.
"Woo, woo, woo -" the Huihe people responded with angry horn blasts, and the entire team quickly gathered into an attack formation.
"Woo, woo, woo -----" Ma Fang left Wang Xun's side and quickly walked towards his Shenwu Army.
"Woo, woo, woo -----" Xue Jingxian raised his hands with a sad look on his face.
"Woo, woo, woo--" "Woo, woo, woo-----" "Woo, woo, woo------" Angry horn sounds came from all directions.
When the sound rang out, Li Guangbi, Li Siye, Bai Xiaode, Wang Sili, Pugu Huaien, and a group of veterans and new talents slowly pulled out the horizontal sword, hesitating, hesitating, not knowing where to point the tip of the sword!
When the wind blows, the fire lights up the sky, the ground, the battle flag with the word "Tang" written on it, and the eyes of everyone under the flag.
