Eight hundred and fifty-ninth chapters Huang Baojie uprising
Zhang Guangtao took advantage of the man's soft tongue and took advantage of his short hand, and began to go around to introduce the two men to the generals under the command of Hedong Jiedushi.
It happened that the pepper, gold and other bribery materials sent by Li Siye from Chang'an had arrived, so they could freely bribe every general.
In these days, the two of them dressed up as traders and wandered around the major wine shops in Taiyuan City, spending a lot of money to entertain the generals of the Hedong Army. Then they drank and drank at the banquet, making friends, and after eating, they had to pack bags for everyone.
Send a gift.
"King Yong started his career as a small guard in the Anxi Protectorate. Like us, he worked hard on the battlefield and gradually accumulated merits and rose to the top. He also knows the hardships of us low-level generals. Scholars like Deng Jingshan,
It's not that he is bad, it's just that they don't know how to distinguish between grains and grains, and they are not diligent in all aspects, so they can't understand you. The soldiers put their heads on their belts to fuck with him, but in the end they fed the guys moldy rice. This is what people can do
What happened? When King Yong was in charge of the Hexi Army, let alone people, even the horses were fed moldy rice and those who raised the horses were severely punished. It’s just not caring for the soldiers, but treating everyone harshly is unjustifiable. "
The generals of the Hedong Army who were sitting around the table just bowed their heads and drank. Occasionally someone sighed. There was a famous young general named Huang Baojie with a cheerful personality at the table. He had the loudest voice when he was drinking just now.
He took off his knife, threw it on the table and said: "This happened not once or twice. I think Deng Jingshan looks down on us at all. He treats us as his own animals. Instead of being bullied by him,
It’s better to mutiny and kill his mother!”
When everyone heard this, their faces turned pale, and they all went to cover his mouth and said, "Don't dare to talk nonsense. Deng Jingshan is the Hedong Jiedushi personally appointed by the imperial court. Who dares to commit such a disrespectful crime?"
"It's just the opposite. What can the court do? The old emperor's Guanzhong has been occupied by others. He went to Jiangdong to take care of himself. Where can he take care of the affairs of Hedong? Seeing that there is no way out with Deng Jingshan, it is better to give it to the brothers.
Let’s find a way out.”
The two cronies were observing the situation and felt that their instigation had reached its climax and they just needed solemn approval.
Just before the curfew, everyone finally dispersed the banquet and prepared to leave. Huang Baojie and Zhang Guangtao led their horses and walked together. As soon as they took a few steps, Yan Zhuang's cronies quickly caught up and said: "General Huang, General Zhang
Please stay."
"What do you want, gentlemen?"
Two close aides came forward and said to Huang Baojie: "I just heard General Huang's generous words at the banquet, and I admired him very much. Now King Yong occupies Chang'an, and it is orthodox to worship His Majesty Emperor Yuanshuo. Now he occupies Longyou, Hexi
, the three places in Guanzhong will definitely be able to quell the rebellion and unify the world in the future. Why don't the generals switch to King Yong, and they will not lose their status as marquises in the future."
Huang Baojie raised his head and took a sip of wine, sighed and said: "Who doesn't want to find a way forward for themselves, but there is no way."
"There is no way to say that there is no way. In the front line, King Yong sent his servant Yan Zhuang to Taiyuan to persuade Deng Jingshan to surrender. Unexpectedly, he was beaten unreasonably by this guy. Now he is lying injured outside the city of Zhao Jiayan. If the general intends to surrender to the imperial court,
Submit yourself to King Yong, and I am willing to introduce you to the general."
Zhang Guangtao had been bribed by others a long time ago, and he also helped them instigate Huang Baojie: "You two wise brothers have such connections, why didn't you tell me earlier, and I am willing to follow you to see Yan Shizhong and find a way out for yourself."
Huang Baojie saw that his good friend also wanted to work with him, so he also took the initiative to invite him: "I would also like to ask two gentlemen to introduce Yan Shizhong for us."
The two were overjoyed. After bidding farewell to Huang Baojie and Zhang Guangtao, they hurriedly ran out of Taiyuan City to Zhaojiayan Village, where their own Alang reported.
Yan Zhuang was lying on the earthen kang, his back with scars exposed, and while gasping for air, he asked the two of them: "Have the fires we added reached the right temperature?"
"The heat has certainly come, otherwise we wouldn't have dared to bring these two people in front of you. They can incite their subordinates and the generals in the city to rise up and kill Deng Jingshan. They just need the court to give them a status."
Yan Zhuang stroked his beard happily and said: "This matter should come to an end. I'll find someone to clean my official robe. Tomorrow I will face the two generals in person.
…
On the second day, Huang Baojie and Zhang Guangtao specially dressed up and left Taiyuan City in order to avoid being noticed by others, and followed Yan Zhuang's cronies who were guarding the door to Zhaojiayan.
In order to show his official authority and the importance he attached to the two of them, Yan Zhuang put on his official robe even though he was injured. He also ordered someone to buy an hut elsewhere and let him sit on the hut in front of the cave dwelling.
The environment does not match, but it is also a temporary solution.
The two came to the yard and saw Yan Zhuang sitting on the bed wearing a purple robe. They quickly knelt down on one knee and crossed their hands and said: "The last general, Huang Baojie, the commander of the Tianbing Army and the horse camp, and the last general, Zhang Guangtao, the deputy commander of the Tianbing Army.
See Yan Shizhong."
Yan Zhuang hurriedly stepped forward to help the two of them up, and said with a kind smile: "Two generals, get up quickly. You have a loyal and brave heart. I have compiled a book and gone to Chang'an to report to King Yong. An imperial edict will be delivered soon.
If you lead the Hedong army back to Yi this time, you will be rewarded heavily by the court."
Huang Baojie stood up and crossed his hands and said: "Huang Baojie has admired King Yong for a long time and has been willing to submit to the imperial court for a long time. But for a while, he had no way to serve the country. Now the two of us are willing to lead the people to revolt, submit to King Yong and submit to the imperial court."
"Very good, the two generals just wait for the good news."
…
Three days later, they came to Zhao Jiayan again, knelt down in front of Yan Zhuang with solemn expressions, and the atmosphere was tense for a moment. Yan Zhuang also coughed to show his solemnity, took out the yellow silk letter from his arms and read loudly: "Under the Gate! Hedong
Huang Baojie, the commander of the Tianbing Army and the Horse Army, and Zhang Guangtao, the deputy commander of the Tianbing Army, abandoned his secrets and turned to the bright side. His loyalty is commendable, so Huang Baojie was specially awarded the title of Hedong Jiedushi and Yushi Dafu. He was given the title of Marquis of Guiyi and a thousand households in the city. Zhang Guangtao was appointed as the Hedong Jiedushi.
The deputy envoy and censor Zhongcheng has given me the title of uncle of Qi County and a settlement of 700 households. The letter is as shown on the right. Please abide by it."
The two of them laid their hands on the ground and kowtowed: "I will thank Your Majesty for your kindness."
Yan Zhuang stepped forward, placed the imperial edict in Huang Baojie's hand, helped him up and said, "Doctor Huang, Zhang Zhongcheng, we will be colleagues in the DPRK from now on. You two must work harder."
Huang Baojie's eyes were filled with ambition, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, Sir, King Yong has treated us so favorably, and we dare not risk our lives to repay him."
…
Only six days have passed, and the red sun on the top of Taiyuan City is about to burn out its last afterglow, and then it is about to sink into the ground.
Without anyone noticing, Lieutenant General Zhang Guangtao replaced the soldiers patrolling the city during the curfew with the cavalry under Huang Baojie's command, and then waited for the sky to darken.
The drums of the curfew rumbled, and Huang Baojie took this as a signal to block off the two alleys in front and back of the residence of the governor of Hedong, letting in only the angry soldiers they had incited.
"Brothers, haven't you eaten enough moldy rice? Deng Jingshan bullies us so much. How long will it take for such a person to rebel? Follow me and rush into the Jiedushi's residence and kill Deng Jingshan!"
Most of the soldiers of the Hedong Army were incited by them and swarmed towards the Jiedu Envoy's residence. Most of Deng Jingshan's guard battalion also escaped and ran away. Only 500 guards around him guarded the courtyard gate.
The soldiers held powerful crossbows and fired arrows into the yard, killing the defending guards. Huang Baojie personally directed dozens of people to sharpen the tree trunks and smash them towards the gate.
"Collide!"
Deng Jingshan stood in the yard in shock and anger, his lips began to turn white, and his fingers trembled as he asked: "Who is gathering people to rebel?"
"It was Huang Baojie, the commander of the cavalry, who incited the soldiers to mutiny."
He finally felt the fear, took two steps back, leaned against the wall and murmured: "Quick, guard the yard."
"Dong dong! Click!" The door latch of the door finally could not withstand the impact of the wooden pillar and was knocked into two pieces. The door opened to both sides, and the violent soldiers poured in like water. They slashed and killed everyone they saw.
The Janissaries resisted desperately and were killed in a pool of blood.
