In the city of Poyang in Raozhou, which was easily regained by the rebels, to celebrate this hard and hard-won victory, the Grand General's Mansion has been banqueting for two days and two nights.
Therefore, there are inevitably large baskets of steamed cakes, rice, smells mixed with the smell of wine, meat, sweat, and all kinds of drunk or drunk figures.
And Yang Shigu, who was holding a small pot of Old Huangchun, also sat on the icy head of the city, watching the scene with some helplessness and powerlessness; if the officers turned around and killed them, I was afraid that the rebels would come out. It's a painful price.
However, what he said is no longer useful; or even if he is willing to remind and explain, not much is willing to listen to him. Even those who are kind and acquainted with him are only left with the polite and routine respects on the bright side, but there is a little bit of inexplicable ambiguity in the eyes and expressions.
Especially after this huge victory of twists and turns, he found that he had become the most embarrassing person in the general's mansion; even if he took the initiative to walk out of his house under house arrest at the last moment of the battle, he moved the guards and soldiers. Following him, he gathered the remnants who had been defeated in the city, and several times repelled the official army that occupied most of the city, and kept the wall behind the main formation outside the city.
But what is regrettable is that these soldiers who followed their own battles with the officers and soldiers until the end; after the return of King Huang and the army, they couldn't wait to distance themselves from him again or get rid of their ties. So most people are able to narrate the merits, but he doesn't have any sayings on the contrary.
Thinking of this, Yang Shigu couldn't help but drank a big mouthful of old Huang Chun; although he didn't care about the pros and cons of these fame, he was more concerned about whether Huang Wang had a grudge against himself in this matter. It's been too late to make a decision again.
After the mouth of the long-smelling old Huangchun, the continuous stamina slowly revealed on his flushed face along with the surging blood, and it made his chaotic and numb mind more and more melancholy and melancholy. . So he quickly got himself drunk seven or eight minutes after a cup, and then in his somewhat chaotic and numb mind, there were bits and pieces of many things flashing past like a revolving lantern.
"Yang Shigu, Yang Shigu, how can you be so ruined and depressed? Didn't you swear to follow Huangwanglang in Qingyu and see the day when the rebels were living a good life..."
When the icy snow flakes came down again, and the excitement that fell between his forehead, sideburns, and neck, he finally mustered up his courage. Determined to run and be honest with Huang Wang, and after all the words were opened, he had a clear conscience; perhaps he could continue to plan and plan for the rebels.
After all, the original intention of everything is for the future and survival of the rebels, and there is no extra selfishness or other invisible places. And his dedication and dedication to the cause of the rebel army is obvious to all.
However, he came to the palace where the Temporary Military Mansion was located with a faint expression on his face, but was stopped by some strange patrolmen straight outside the gate: "The incoming people stopped, the military mansion is heavy, the intruder died..."
He couldn't help being astonished when he would be subject to this restriction when he entered and exited the military residence; maybe this was the post-war martial law, he told himself so and took out the right military division's identity card to show the opponent.
Then he waited for a while in front of the gate before a military academy, who was a little drunk and smelled of powdery powder, walked over unsteadily, saw him in a daze and cut his voice.
"It's Army Master Yang, you have been waiting for a long time, so I will let you in and inform you about one or two... Please go to the sheltered place inside the door to roast yourself..."
Then I waited for a while before seeing this fairly familiar military academy turned back, but said helplessly:
"I'm sorry, King Huang drank a few more glasses at the big banquet to entertain the newcomers today, and he was already overwhelmed to stop... You have very important things, you want to call him the old man... "
"Then I will come back tomorrow..."
Yang Shigu took a deep breath, feeling a little Meng Lang and abrupt under his head just now, and he couldn't help turning around sadly.
However, when he bypassed the fence of the government office and planned to return to his temporary residence across the street, he saw a series of carts full of chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep and other ingredients, escorted by many ochers, and went straight to the government. Ya's side door left.
But in the vague shouts sent by the wind, you can hear "Don't pull it down", "This is the King Huang personally confessed," "You have to continue the banquet...", but Yang Shigu was cold, and only felt The bright lights behind the palace wall became a bit blurred and weird, and he stepped heavily into the courtyard where he lived.
At noon the next day, he once again took his entourage and the chapters and suggestions that he wrote overnight, and went to the place where the military mansion was to meet the king. After all, he was greeted into the left compartment of the inner courtyard and waited, without having to squeeze in the doorway to be blown by the wind and snow, and the hot tea soup continued.
However, there are seven or eight apparently unfamiliar Rebel generals waiting here with him. They can’t help pouring tea soup while looking at Yang Shigu, who is obviously incompatible with most people, with curious and distant eyes. .
Then another subordinate official whom Yang Shigu knew rushed over to apologize:
"How can Army Master Yang arrange these things that don't have long eyes here... I don't want to hurry up and open a flower hall to entertain me..."
Then he said
"It's not a coincidence right now... King Huang got up early today and has already gone to camp outside the city... I'm not sure when I will come back... I'm afraid you will have to wait a long time..."
"It's okay, then I'll wait patiently..."
Yang Shigu waved his hand indifferently.
However, he still sighed in his heart. Since this big victory, the ostentation of the various red tapes and the so-called decentness in the military mansion have become more and more sophisticated.
As a result, he was flipping through the booklet in the flower hall, and even when the sky turned dark, there was no news. Then another member of his acquaintance who was acquainted with him brought the meals on the small case, and whispered to him:
"Military officer, you don't need to wait any longer. King Huang has already sent a message back not long ago and he wants to stay overnight in the camp abroad..."
On the third day, he went to the General’s Mansion to wait stubbornly, but got another news: King Huang had already led some of his troops to Quzhou.
Yang Shigu's mood was suddenly depressed on the spot. No one had notified him of these things related to the Yellow King, nor did he mention that he had to be recruited to follow suit, as if he was left out in the cold. And forgotten in general.
Then when he walked out full of thoughts, he accidentally heard two faceless generals complaining in the corridor behind the flower hall.
"This surnamed Yang is really brazen. It's because of him that he pretended to be a military instructor. Has he ever done anything in this big victory..."
"It is said that when the situation was distressed, he would only say some frustrating words that would shake the morale of the army; but now I do not give up trying to ask the King Huang for an explanation. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world..."
"The King Huang treated him with all his benevolence and righteousness. How can this servant survive so ignorantly... We can't stop when we are tired..."
"Yes, that is, there are cheap things in the world that are so easy to pass..."
At this moment, Yang Shigu was like a certain level of perseverance and stubbornness in his heart, and he sighed heavily on the spot; he might really be the superfluous person. Suddenly, he seemed to be many years old, and his straight back was a little buckled, and he turned and slowly disappeared into the dazzling lights of the fluttering snow.
And above the drum tower of the government office, Huang Rui, the secretary of the palm who had been with him, Huang Rui was also sigh
"Finally left... It's still real and disturbing... If this continues, I'm afraid the military will be a little bit nonsense and talkative..."
"After all, the Yangzi system should be left to dry."
In the far barracks, Huang Chao confronted Zhao Zhang, the left ambassador who mentioned him.
"Otherwise, how can I understand my pains and intentions... But many people have suggested in front of me that private disobedience and the swaying of the military will be pursued. At least I have preserved his rank as a military officer... So. Let things get colder, let's talk about it later..."
However, although Zhao Zhang stopped speaking and continued to persuade, he sighed heavily in his heart. Huang Wang's intentions and attitude seem to be unable to fault, but it also depends on what the people underneath think and do.
Especially the rebel veterans headed by another military strategist, Li Junru, and a group of newly affiliated officials headed by Cui Miao, will not easily let go of this opportunity to fuel the flames or to suppress the opposing party. He also planned to pull Yang Shigu as his potential ally, but he obviously couldn't count on it now.
At this time, there was a sudden burst of cheers from outside:
"found it.."
"found it.."
"Find Zhang Hao, Zhang Gou's first level..."
Immediately, a smoky head with a faint face that was particularly visible was placed on a plate and presented in front of the high-ranking rebel army headed by Huang Chao. And let them burst out all kinds of uproar and noise amidst all kinds of excited expressions and expressions.
Some even wailed on the spot, murmured and wailed the names of many relatives, friends, and fellow soldiers who had died in the hands of this officer, military, and comrades in the army; there were also people who looked forward to the front and looked at it, repeating it just not. I can believe that this villain who once drove the rebels to extinction, or forced them into desperate situation, just died like this with only his head left.
And as the most calm and calm Huang Chao among them, it is the source of the first level, which is not directly obtained by the soldiers of the rebels. In fact, with the bravery and cunning ingenuity of this man, even after the victory, the rebels failed to keep him behind, and the men who had been beaten through at least a dozen interceptions and police posts protruded away.
However, what he never expected was the real murderous intent, but it came from those people who couldn't allow him to flee back, and were held accountable for defeat in front of Gao Pian. So they set up a simple and rude trap, and someone who followed him secretly left marks along the way, betraying the route and direction of escape;
Then, an accident happened when Zhang Lin managed to escape back to a stronghold occupied by the old ministry. Thousands of "Rebel" inquiries of unknown origin quickly surrounded the stronghold where he was hiding, and using prepared fire and smoke methods, the generation of famous generals and hundreds of remaining generals were paid at the cost of multiple deaths and injuries. Alive and dead in it.
Subsequently, this first level was delivered to the rebels headed by Huang Chao through a certain channel at a correspondingly valuable price, which was considered to have assumed the reputation and connection of beheading Zhang Lin. Thinking of this, Huang Chao also ordered a little self-confidently
"Hang the first level of this dog thief on the flagpole, and cruise around with my big gang..."
A few days later, Yang Shigu, who had been behind closed doors, again received an order from the military mansion outside.
With the momentum of beheading the famous general Zhang Lin, he was allowed to go to the Hunan provinces to the east to gather the remnants of the rebels in those places as the newly appointed general's post-treatment deputy envoy, and with this, he would stay in Jiangling. The military treasury made Liu Tang come back for negotiations.
. . . . . .
And in the Jiangdu City of Yangzhou, Huainan, heart-wrenching wailing erupted from the Ziyun Pavilion where the Huainan Jiedu and Envoy, and the Bohai King Gao Pian practiced.
"Kill me too..."
"Ziming (Zhang Lin), why would you abandon me here..."
"Hundred thousand army is defeated like this, how come tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the battalion are destroyed instantly with you..."
"It really lost my heart and soul, broke my liver and intestines..."
And many corpses of slaves and maidservants who were wantonly killed under the rage were scattered on the corridors and stairs, even if the splashing blood and dirt had already solidified and turned black in the cold wind. No one dared to go forward and clean up.
Whether it’s the many Gao’s children present, or a group of shogunate officials, generals, and local officials, they are all silent.
In the end, the alchemist Lu Yongzhi, who was introduced to be the closest to Gao Pian, struggling to set foot in the attic under the eyes of everyone. Then after a long time of waiting, the hoarse cry finally disappeared.
What followed was a warrant brought down by the young alchemist Lu Yongzhi, regarding this high envoy to close the pavilion for a long time, and a warrant for the unsuccessful Zhang to be overpowered and pray. Therefore, everything will be forwarded and delivered through this young "Mr. Lu".
Following this, there were more than a dozen corresponding appointments and a series of personnel changes; for example, Lu Yongzhi became the preparatory officer of the shogunate, and he must make confessions from all the people in Huainan as needed. Moxie both left and right made a big move. The expansion of the army is 5,000 people in each of the left and right compartments, and Zhang Chuyi, who is known as the little-known Pi general, is a general of the left and right four compartments.
Other generals under the command of Gao Pian, apart from Liang Yan who worked abroad, Chen Yun, Feng Shou, Dong Jin, Yu Gongchu, Yao Guili, etc., all have corresponding new appointments and arrangements for the sake of preparing for the enemy; more than a dozen in the mansion A child of the Gao clan, or a member of his tribe, has also obtained posts in the expatriate states. . .
However, in this situation, no one was able to raise objections or objections to this, or it was too late to react, so he watched the newly released upstart, naturally surrounded by the crowd gathered around him. Long away.
"This can't work, I have to meet Ling Gong to make a complaint"
Only then did a voice sounded, but it was Cui Zhiyuan from the Silla who served as a memory in the Shogunate.
"It just so happens that I have news to report, and I will go with you..."
Liang Zaimou, who had rushed back from the field, also echoed.
"Go Together"
"Go together..."
"Definitely not let people fool Ling Gong..."
Others also seemed to come to their senses, and clamored in agreement.
However, new news spread in the city of Yangzhou the next day. A group of clerks headed by Cui Zhiyuan from the recording room angered Gao Linggong and Gaojun king. Since then, they have been imprisoned and used Lu Yongzhi’s forehead. Pleading, was able to avoid punishment and denounce him.
