Chapter 1656: Those who dare to stand in the way are killed without mercy
Horseshoes are in a hurry!
Above the Suzaku Street, the rapid sound of horse hoofbeats came from the distance of the long street, and then groups of brightly armored cavalry were seen driving straight in. In front of the crowds of people in Chang'an City behind the blockade, they marched at a neither fast nor slow speed.
Speeding by!
This is a light cavalry. There are no long weapons such as lances on the saddles of the cavalry, but the shining sabers in their hands are still so bright that the people in Chang'an City along the way can't open their eyes. The army is the most terrifying thing in the hearts of the people these days.
The existence of the army is not like that of later generations who are subject to discipline. Instead, they are often bullied by some rubbish.
Riding at the forefront of this cavalry team was none other than Chai Shao, the son-in-law of Tang King Li Yuan, who was originally ranked among the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion in history.
According to original historical records, Chai Shao was a chivalrous and righteous man, agile and brave.
He first served as an official in the Sui Dynasty, started his career, and prepared himself to protect Prince Yuande. He married Princess Pingyang, the daughter of Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Dynasty.
After Li Yuan and his son rebelled in Taiyuan and proclaimed themselves kings, Chai Shao took charge of the cavalry army and was granted the title of Dr. You Guanglu and Duke of Linfen County.
In the original history, in the early years of Wude after Li Yuan founded the country and ascended the throne, Chai Shao paid homage to General Zuo Yiwei.
Later, he followed the King of Qin Li Shimin to pacify the four directions, made many meritorious deeds, and was granted the title of Duke Huo.
In the early years of Zhenguan, he worshiped General Youwei and defeated the Turks many times. He moved to General Zuowei and became the governor of Huazhou.
Later, he participated in the Battle of Dingxiang, where he destroyed the Eastern Turks, became the general of the town army, and the general of Youxiao Wei. He participated in the pacification of the Liang division capital, and was granted the title of Duke of Qiao. He was listed as one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.
Such a character lost to Luo Shixin some time ago. It doesn't mean that he is really worse than Luo Shixin. It's just that Luo Shixin was lucky enough to meet Wang Junlin and became a disciple of Nie Xiaoyu. Maybe Chai Shaoruo met him earlier.
Wang Junlin, those who become Wang Junlin, their current achievements and abilities will never be any worse than Luo Shixin's, and they are even better than Luo Shixin in some aspects.
In fact, if you think about it on the other hand, from Li Yuan's perspective, he could be his son-in-law, and now he has been given important responsibilities by Li Yuan and Li Shimin. How could such a person be an ordinary person?
At this time, the young general, who was not yet thirty years old, had a solemn face. As he galloped, the wind blew his hair, and the thinning drizzle had already wet his armor. His legs were tightly clamped.
Hold the horse's belly and raise the whip with all your strength!
In any case, there must not be the slightest mistake in what happens tonight. It’s just that a lot of people need to be killed tonight. Otherwise, there may be backlash and strong revenge from some powerful families afterwards. I don’t know if Li Shimin can get things done.
It needs to be beautiful and don’t push yourself out when the time comes.
Thinking of this possibility, Chai Shao frowned. When the cavalry team rushed to a wide intersection in Chang'an City, he ordered the team to stop.
Chai Shao took a deep breath, threw away the distracting thoughts in his mind, and quickly began to issue orders.
"Huang Sanyu, you lead your men to block the four main gates of Chang'an City and take over the defense on the city wall! From now on, no one is allowed to enter or leave the city gates. If something goes wrong, you will jump off the city tower yourself.
Bar!"
"General, I obey." A military general in his thirties rode out, respectfully agreed, and led his men away quickly.
Chai Shao ignored Huang Sanyu and continued to order: "Zhou Qigong! You will lead your troops to take charge of the martial law in all blocks within three miles of the imperial city except Zhuque Street, and set up military restricted areas. From now on, no one is allowed to enter or leave.
."
A military general in his forties with a dark complexion rode out expressionlessly and asked calmly: "General, what will happen if someone forces his way through?"
Chai Shao sneered: "Except for those who hold my token, anyone else who breaks in will be killed without mercy."
"I will obey the order." Zhou Qigong agreed and quickly summoned his troops to start setting up defenses and setting up restricted areas.
Chai Shao looked at another general behind him and ordered: "Liu Dehu, you lead your men to take charge of Zhuque Street. This street is full of official families and wealthy people. I only need you to lead people back and forth on this street."
Just patrol and make sure nothing goes wrong! Again, if there is any trouble and someone dares to break in or try to cause trouble, you just go ahead and kill them! Do you understand?"
"The general knows what to do." Liu Dehu agreed and led the men and horses away quickly.
"Okay, the remaining 10,000 horses will follow me. We will go on a killing spree tonight, but I can assure you that the people killed tonight are all the people who should be killed. If the decision is made
For great achievements, the rewards afterwards will make you enjoy endless glory and wealth for the rest of your life." Chai Shao said with a smile, his voice was low, and there was no fierce shouting. In fact, only a few generals around him could hear it.
Although Chai Shao also trusted the three military generals he had just sent out, relatively speaking, the few military generals next to him were Chai Shao's most trusted confidants.
At this time, these few people were all shocked when they heard this. Today, they first entered the city to change defenses, and then their general made such arrangements just now. In addition, he specifically ordered to kill without mercy and went on a killing spree. In fact, they already had something in mind.
Guess, such a big change clearly means that something big is going to happen, but they are all Chai Shao's true confidants, so even if they plot to rebel at this time, they won't hesitate too much.
What's more, their general is the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty King and has always been trusted by His Highness. Therefore, they now guess that their general must be acting on the orders of the Tang Dynasty King, and they are also killing those noble families who are usually aloof. These people should indeed be killed.
kill.
Thinking of this, everyone became excited and excited.
Since it is what King Tang wants to do, then everyone can just be the sharp steel knives in King Tang's hands with peace of mind!
Anyway, we are all the troops of His Royal Highness the Tang Dynasty!
Now in Chang'an City, although the King of Tang is not yet the emperor, he is actually no different from the emperor.
Since it is what the King of Tang wants to do, it must be right. It is natural for us and other generals to serve the King of Tang. It is not a rebellion, and there will be psychological counseling and pressure.
As for just killing some people from aristocratic families, why is Chang'an City under martial law tonight, why is it necessary to take over the city defense, and why is it even necessary to kill people and fight tonight?
These military generals can also understand that after all, the power of the powerful family is huge. Since they are going to use the knife, they must be well prepared just in case.
Chai Shao led ten thousand cavalry towards the palace. Suddenly, a chaotic scene appeared in front of them, blocking their way forward.
People were running around, many houses were on fire, and a group of thieves were on the street in the distance, killing everyone they saw.
Seeing this scene, Chai Shao's face became ugly.
Chai Shao never believed that the scene in front of him was a coincidence. Although Chang'an City may not be as safe as the Far Eastern Army's Fanyang County and other places, it is Li Yuan's base camp after all. When did the security become so bad?
What's more, they are leading 10,000 cavalry on their way here.
, even if the thief who comes out to cause trouble is a fool, he will not run in front of them and cause trouble. This is simply seeking death, okay?
At this moment, Chai Shao thought a lot, and the final judgment made his heart sink.
Someone noticed what they were going to do tonight, so they arranged for people to deliberately cause trouble, hoping to use these running people to block their way, so as to buy time and cause some kind of accident to happen in the palace?
Of course, there may be other purposes.
Thinking of this, Chai Shao's face became more and more ugly, and the killing intent in his eyes was already overwhelming.
The entire street in front of them was in a state of chaos. A group of thieves were shouting random slogans, holding various weapons in their hands, and attacking nearby shops and houses, including the mansions of some noble families.
In addition to smashing, looting and looting, these people also coerced many street gangsters and gang members who did not know the truth to smash, loot and burn.
Even when the situation develops to a certain extent, without waiting for these people to intervene, some people with bad intentions will take the initiative to regard the scene in front of them as a good opportunity to make a fortune, actively blend into the crowd, and take advantage of the situation.
Of course, there are also some people who take advantage of the opportunity to seek revenge or complain. They usually fall in love with a woman they can't afford, dare not fall in love with, or can't fall in love with, and they just happen to fall in love with her at this time. Of course, they will definitely kill and silence her afterwards.
In short, in a short period of time, the number of troublemakers increased from a hundred to thousands.
For a moment, when fear spread in this neighborhood, everyone began to run for their lives, so this scene appeared in front of them - the entire street was blocked by the chaotic crowd, and Chai Shao led a group of people.
Thousands of cavalrymen's journey ahead.
In short, this neighborhood has become a mess!
Throughout the neighborhood, people were climbing over walls and smashing doors, setting fires everywhere, and some thieves took advantage of the chaos to break into the homes of wealthy nobles and rape and rape the maids and maids.
There were cries, curses and screams everywhere, as many as a dozen defense fires were blazing into the sky. The streets were filled with thieves armed with various weapons and making trouble everywhere.
Originally, there were city defense troops in Chang'an City, and they had their own set of measures to prevent and respond to riots.
However, at this time, the city troops who were familiar with the city's defense were transferred out of the city, and those who entered the city were Chai Shao's troops who were not familiar with the city's defense and were not focused on the city's defense.
Therefore, after something like this happened, there was no official armed force to stop it for a while, until it completely blocked the way forward for Chai Shao and his 10,000 cavalry.
Tonight is destined to be a chaotic and stormy night in Chang'an City!
…………
…………
In the wind and rain, facing the crowded streets, even if the cavalry tried their best to shout and shout, and even picked up their whips to wave them away, it would be difficult to pass through the crowded long streets, because everyone was running for their lives, and the real and invisible panic was already there.
It fills the hearts of every citizen in this neighborhood.
Facing a dense crowd, the cavalry could not pick up their sabers and chop to clear the way.
The personal guards and confidant generals around Chai Shao had already noticed that General Chai Shao's face was getting increasingly ugly.
"General! Our people can't get through, what should we do?" The general who was leading the way ran over to report.
Chai Shao's eyes narrowed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. There was hesitation in his eyes for a moment, but eventually it turned into determination and indifference. He said in a cold voice: "Give the order, and charge the ranks with cavalry! But in any case,
Anyone who dares to stand in the way...will be killed without mercy!"
