"Brothers in the city, brothers of Youwuwei, you can see clearly, I am Yuan Jinwei, Yingyang Lang of Youwuwei! Three days ago, in Baisi Maban, I led three regiments to the Duke of Chu Yang Xuan felt that Yang Zhuguo was enfeoffed as General Youwuwei, guarding Xingyang, and leading the Marquis of Yangcheng! Rewards of one hundred taels of gold and silver each!"

"Brothers, don't give your life to the foolish lord Yang Guang. That tyrant is fatuous and dishonest. He favors treacherous ministers and regards human life as nothing. He doesn't treat us as human beings at all. Hundreds of thousands of our brothers in the Sixteen Guards died in Liaodong. Millions of people have been killed, the world is in chaos, and thieves are everywhere! Following this tyrant is only a dead end. Hurry up and open the city gates and surrender. It is the right way to follow Yang Zhuguo to fight the world! You are not Yang Zhuguo's opponents, and there is no one in the Eastern Capital City People are Yang Zhuguo's opponents! Yang Zhuguo can easily defeat Dongdu with a wave of his hand!"

"Brothers, Yang Zhuguo said that whoever opens the city gate first will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, and will be named Marquis of Yiyang, and promoted to three ranks! Whoever can behead Fan Zigai will also be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, and will be named a marquis." , Promoted to three levels! Brothers, don’t hesitate, the opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune has come! Open the city gate quickly! Kill Fan Zigai quickly!”

Just as Chen Yingliang guessed, a formation was formed outside the Shangchun Gate. The Sui army team that had surrendered to the rebels stepped forward and launched a psychological offensive. General Ying Yanglang, who was the first to lead the Sui army to surrender to the enemy in Bai Sima Ban, Yuan Jinwei took the lead again, shouting to surrender outside the bow and arrow range of the city wall, and then other soldiers of the Sui army also shouted, calling their friends and calling their names directly, and recruiting the defenders of the Eastern Capital on the city wall, tempting and intimidating, shouting endlessly .

Of course, the rebels' actions had certain effects. The Dongdu defenders, who were already very demoralized, were somewhat shaken in their hearts after hearing the cries of surrender from their former comrades. At least they would surrender to the rebels once the city was broken. With low morale, there were not many Sui soldiers who even yelled at the shameless traitors at Shangchunmen, showing signs of wavering in the army's morale-this is not surprising, the key is the previous good intentions of Pei Hongce and Daxi The entire army was wiped out, which dealt a serious blow to the morale of the defenders of the Eastern Capital.

Seeing this scene, the leaders of the rebel army, Yang Xuangan and Li Mi, who led the main force of the rebel army in the rear, were inevitably overjoyed, and Li Mi simply said to Yang Xuangan: "Duke Chu, the enemy's morale is obviously depressed. As long as we can win another battle, The Luoyang garrison is bound to collapse completely, and there will be great hope for taking Luoyang!"

"What's so promising? It's a nail in the coffin!" Yang Xuangan laughed happily, and then ordered: "Go and send orders to Yuan Jinwei and the others, let them continue to shout, shout louder, wait for the old man Fan Zigai to come over to check the situation , maybe you will be so angry that you will have a decisive battle in the city, and clean up these Youwuwei traitors in front of you!"

The messenger sang promises, and was about to rush forward to deliver orders to Yuan Jinwei and other new generals. Not far away, on the wall of Shangchun Gate, a tall old man with white beard and hair stood up straight in his armor, his head bowed and glared at the city. A rebel soldier with a majestic aura. Seeing this tall and tall old man, Yuan Jinwei and the other troop made a loud noise, Yang Xuangan was also startled, and blurted out: "Fan Zigai?! This old thing is actually on the Shangchun Gate?"

"Duke Chu, this is a rare opportunity, hurry up and answer that Fan Zigai!" Li Mi said happily: "I will help you, and cursing this old man will definitely anger Fan Zigai's stubbornness and lure him out of the city for a decisive battle!" Yang Xuangan Hearing that, he was overjoyed, and with a promise, he patted his horse and rushed forward, Li Mi, Wang Zhongbo and other rebel leaders also hurriedly followed.

Yang Xuanting led Li Mi and others all the way to the distance of only a hundred steps from the city wall of the Eastern Capital before reining in the horses, and then ordered to stop the mutinous soldiers from making noise. After the rebel army calmed down, Yang Xuangan raised his head and rushed forward with a smile. Fan Zigai shouted loudly: "Fan stays behind, Master Fan, it's been a long time!"

"Rebel! Thank you for having the face to answer this old man!" Even though Fan Zigai will be seventy next year, he is old and strong, and his voice is still very loud, almost like a bell, separated by a hundred steps. Yang Xuangan and the others could still hear them clearly.

"Fan Liushou misunderstood. I am not rebellious, but to overthrow the tyrant Yang Guang and save the common people!" Yang Xuangan laughed and said: "Facts have proved that the decision of this Zhu country is very correct. Thousands of heroes from all over the world came to join us. Master Fan, these soldiers under your command also rushed to submit to me and serve me willingly? Fan Liushou, why don't you learn from them, open the city gate and surrender to the pillar country, assisting you? This pillar country has accomplished great things by killing the tyrant?!"

"Scrambling to submit to you, willing to serve you?" Not only did Fan Zigai not be furious like Yang Xuangan expected, but he laughed loudly, suddenly raised his voice, and shouted: "All the troops obey orders! "

"No!" There was an obviously untidy answer on the city wall, Yang Xuangan, Li Mi and other rebel leaders were also full of expectations, and said that Fan Zigai ordered to go out of the city to fight, but Fan Zigai shouted: "I am now The first order is that the Youwuwei rebels under the city, as long as they surrender anyway, they will not be held accountable, and they are allowed to return to the team!"

"The second order, the Youwuwei rebels under the city, escape from Yang Ni's team and no longer follow the bandits, let them choose their own way out, and don't go to sea to arrest the wanted documents!"

"The third order is that the rebels of the right military guards in the city, those who are obsessed with obsession, and those who attack the city from thieves, as long as they die under the city of the Eastern Capital, they will be identified by their corpses, and the whole family will be killed, and their wives and daughters will be demoted to slaves ! Those who kill the rebel soldiers can use their heads to obtain all the property of the slain, including houses and land, as well as the wives and daughters of the slain as slaves! Do you understand?"

"Understood!" This time the defenders on the city wall answered more neatly, and many defenders showed excited expressions of eagerness to try. The expressions of the Youwuwei traitors under the city, led by Yuan Jinwei, suddenly changed. Yang Xuangan, Li Mi, etc. The leader of the rebel army was speechless, never dreaming that Fan Zigai would have such a trick, which in turn severely damaged the morale of the rebel soldiers.

"Yuan Jinwei, General Yuan!" Under Chen Yingliang's guidance and Pei Hongce's order, a guard soldier jumped out and shouted: "General Yuan, come and attack the city! Your daughter looks good, I'll cut off your head , I can be your son-in-law! Come on, help brother, whether brother can have sex with your daughter is up to you, old man!"

As soon as this remark came out, the soldiers guarding the city wall burst into wild laughter, and the stubborn old Fan Zigai couldn't help showing some smiles on his old face, and cursed absurdly in a low voice. His face was pale, he wanted to scold but didn't dare to scold, the other Youwuwei rebels also peeked at Yuan Jinwei with strange expressions, and the previous excitement was swept away.

"This old man has such a skill!" Li Mi cursed in his heart, but at the same time he couldn't help secretly admiring Fan Zigai's scheming of alienation. He hoped that the Youwuwei rebels would escape for their lives, and at the same time intimidated the Youwuwei rebels from following Yang Xuangan to fight to the death. The scheming to this extent was considered a master of the art.

"Old man, do this with Ben Zhuguo!" Yang Xuangan was not too stupid, and immediately understood the real purpose of Fan Zigai's three consecutive orders, and in a rage, Yang Xuangan simply shouted: "Okay, The Benzhu Kingdom has also issued an order now, but all Luoyang soldiers who dare to follow Fan Zigai to resist the Benzhu Kingdom's rebel army will confiscate all their family property after death, execute all male members of the family, and the female family members will be classified as lowly, and sent to the army's rotation camp !"

"Chu Gong, are you crazy?" Li Mi cried out loudly, "What should we do in the name of righteousness?"

Sure enough, upon hearing Yang Xuangan's order, there were boos on the city walls of Luoyang. The soldiers of the Eastern Capital who had a good impression of Yang Xuangan suddenly had an extremely bad impression of Yang Xuangan. Fan Zigai laughed loudly, and said, "Rebel, your fox tail is finally showing, isn't it? You still have the face to call yourself a rebel army. You can say something like Lunying. This is also called a rebel army?"

"Old man! Stop talking nonsense!" Yang Xuangan became completely angry from embarrassment, pointed at Fan Zigai with the spear in his hand and roared: "Open the city gate if you are brave enough, come out and fight me for a round!"

"The traitor Yang Xuangan, if you are brave enough, come up and fight me for 300 rounds!"

Qifeng rose again, and a handsome young man dressed as an official suddenly jumped onto the arrow stack with a horizontal knife in his hand. Standing higher than Fan Zigai who was left behind in Dongdu, he pointed the horizontal knife at Yang Xuangan and yelled, "If you If you dare not come, you are a son of a bitch, come, I will accompany you to the end!"

"Who is this kid?" A rabbit suddenly jumped out of the sheep, Yang Xuangan and Li Mi were inevitably taken aback.

"Chen Yingliang, come down, you don't have a place to talk here!" Fan Zigai shouted angrily.

Opportunities to perform in public are rare, and Chen Yingliang, who managed to catch this opportunity, naturally had no time to pay attention to Fan Zigai's orders, pointed at Yang Xuangan with a horizontal knife and just cursed and roared like thunder, "Yang Xuangan, you are disloyal, filial, benevolent, and unrighteous. Shameless, shameless, despicable and shameless rebel! If you have the guts, come here and I will fight three hundred rendezvous, if you don’t have the guts, just yell three times, you are a coward with no eggs, young master, I will spare your dog’s life today!”

"Little thief, curse again!" Yang Xuangan was furious.

"It's fine to scold a few words!"

Chen Yingliang, who had accumulated the essence of cursing for thousands of years, was afraid that he would run out of words, so he pointed at Yang Xuangan and cursed quickly, "Yang Xuangan, listen up, you traitor! You betrayed the Lord and gathered people to rebel for the sake of Unfaithful! Your father’s bones were still cold, and the grave was still dry, so you betrayed the Sui court, which he had been loyal to all his life, for your disobedience! You, a traitor, murdered and set fire to the people, and poisoned the people, because of your inhumanity! It is injustice for the boatmen of the people to rebel and cause thousands of innocent people to suffer from the flames of war! What face do you have for a shameless rebel like you to live in the world? Buying a piece of tofu and smashing it to death is your bright and righteous way! If you have no money to buy tofu, I will reward you!"

Roaring, Chen Yingliang really took out a few five baht coins from his pocket, threw them down the city in public, and roared at Yang Xuangan: "Rebel, come and get it, buy tofu! Tofu won't kill you, so buy it!" Hit me with a brick! But don't hit me with your face, you traitor has a thicker skin than a city wall! Hit a brick with your ugly face, and only the brick will die!"

The roar of laughter sounded again on the city wall of the Eastern Capital, and Fan Zigai also turned his anger into joy, and shouted: "Good scolding, keep scolding! The harder the scolding, the better! Curse this traitor to death!"

"Master Fan, don't worry, even without your order, I will scold the eighteenth generation of this traitor's ancestor!" Chen Yingliang agreed loudly, then pointed at Yang Xuangan whose face was already ashen and continued to curse, "Yang Xuangan is a traitor, I will replace you!" Father Yang Su is sad, he was loyal all his life, how could he give birth to you, an unrighteous traitor?! If he knew, he would definitely regret that when he gave birth to you, why didn't he put you in the urinal and soaked to death? Even if his old man gave birth to a pig, it would be better than giving birth to you, a treacherous traitor!"

"Your grandfather Yang Fu will also regret it because of you, a traitor! If Yang Fu knew that you, a traitor, would commit treason, he would have killed your mother before you were born, lest you be born It’s a shame to come out! His bones are definitely rolling in the grave now, regretting why he didn’t eunuch himself back then, and entered the palace as a eunuch, why did he leave you as a bastard?!”

"And your great-grandfather, uncle, what is the name of Yang Ni's great-grandfather? You said I forgot."

Amidst the laughter, Fan Zigai smiled uncharacteristically stubbornly, and rushed to answer for Pei Hongce: "Yang Ni's great-grandfather is Yang Xuan, and he is also from Huayin."

"Yang Xuangan, your great-grandfather Yang Xuan was also hurt by you! He is no longer just rolling in the grave, he must have crawled out of his grave, lest the people of Huayin County go to his grave to shit every day Pee! Because of you, a traitor, your Yang family is now a disgrace to Huayin. When the people of Huayin heard your name, they couldn’t help but spit out their last night’s meal! Why, it’s because your name is too Stinky, it stinks to the point where it will last for thousands of years! Now throw you into the latrine, and the latrine can spit it out!"

"Yang Xuangan rebellious thief, you are born to be a cucumber, you need to shoot! You are born to be a walnut, you need to beat! There are only twelve zodiac signs in the Sui Dynasty, and you want to belong to the thirteenth zodiac. smoke!"

"Yang Xuangan, I will give you a pair of couplets, young master. The first couplet is, the tree does not need bark, and it will surely die; the second couplet is, people are shameless, and the world is invincible! The horizontal criticism is, the slut is the supreme!"

"Yang Xuangan, young master, I still don't understand why you still have the courage to live? Why didn't your father shoot you on the wall? Why didn't your mother strangle you to death? Why did your grandfather..."

Hearing Chen Yingliang's endless scolding, Yang Xuangan's face turned livid at first, then turned black, and then turned purple. Finally, Yang Xuangan couldn't bear it anymore, and impulsively threw down his spear, grabbed his bow and arrow, slapped his horse, and rushed directly to Chen Yingliang, who was spitting all over the place, yelled like thunder while drawing his bow and arrow, "Little thief, I want your life!"

Of course, Chen Yingliang would not be so stupid as to continue to stand on the arrow stack and serve as a target for Yang Xuangan, jumping off the arrow stack before Yang Xuangan let go of his arrow, shouting at the laughing defenders, "What are you laughing at? Let the arrows go!"

Chen Yingliang yelled to remind them that the defenders of the Eastern Capital just woke up like a dream. They were surprised to find that a big pie had fallen from the sky—the rebel leader Yang Xuangan rushed into the bow and arrow range of the city wall by himself! In ecstasy, the soldiers of the Sui Army rushed to draw their bows and shoot their arrows. Fan Zigai, who came back to his senses, yelled hysterically, "Shoot the arrows! Let the arrows go! Let the old man shoot the arrows!"

"Fire the arrows! Let me shoot the arrows! Let the arrows go!" Pei Hongce clenched his fists and yelled wildly. Finally, he even grabbed a bow and arrow and shot Yang Xuangan himself.

With a sound of "咻", the feathered arrow shot by Yang Xuangan passed the arrow pile that Chen Yingliang was standing on before, and hit a Sui soldier behind the arrow pile. On the bluestone steps of the city tower, the arrowhead penetrated deep into the stone, and the shaft of the arrow was also shattered by the remaining force!

"咻咻咻咻" repeatedly, at the same time, countless defenders' feathered arrows also shot at Yang Xuangan overwhelmingly, but these archers of the Sui Army themselves were average in archery, and they lost their accuracy in a hurry, so the feathered arrows they shot were not right. Outrageous, that is, weak and no threat, only a feather arrow hit Yang Xuangan's right ear, cutting off half of Yang Xuangan's ear, causing Yang Xuangan to scream, and blood was all over the right side of his face.

"Brother!"

"Duke Chu!"

Countless soldiers of the rebel army rushed up, using their shields to block the arrows, while dragging Yang Xuangan off the horse, set Yang Xuangan up and ran back, although Fan Zigai and Pei Hongce and others roared like thunder on the city wall, forcing the soldiers to release arrows quickly, But it was too late to do so. The feathered arrows shot down from the city wall only killed two rebel soldiers, but none of them could hit Yang Xuangan who was already tightly protected by the shield.

Seeing this scene, Fan Zigai's unwilling roar also echoed on the city wall, "Trash! Trash! You trash! Such a good opportunity was missed by you trash! Chen Yingliang! Chen Yingliang, you little bastard! The old man continues to scold! Continue to scold! If you can scold the traitor Yang Xuangan back again, this old man will give you a credit!"

"Curse it again? How is this possible?" Chen Yingliang smiled wryly, but Fan Zigai had already strangled Chen Yingliang's neck. In order not to be strangled to death, Chen Yingliang could only continue to yell at Yang Xuangan's eighteen generations of ancestors.

"So this little thief is called Chen Yingliang, little thief, I remember your name!" Hearing Fan Zigai's roar, Li Mi turned around and gave Chen Yingliang a very vicious look—this is also Li Mi, the outstanding leader of the uprising army at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the tyrant Chen Yingliang, the loyal lackey of Emperor Sui Yang and the executioner who suppressed the uprising army, met for the first time.

After being rescued by the soldiers and returned to the safe zone, Yang Xuangan touched his bloody right ear, looked at the blood on his hand, and Yang Xuangan roared hysterically, "Order the three armies to rush to build siege weapons, the more The better! Tomorrow morning, we will attack the city with our troops! This Zhu Kingdom wants to crush Luoyang, and cut that little thief to pieces! Execute Ling Chi!"
