However, in the face of the Taiping Army who was waiting for it, Gao Renhou, who had drawn troops in Hejiangkou in Luzhou and was ready to go, could no longer pay attention to and pay attention to the result of the failure of this persuade.
Because he received another news: Chengdu has opened the city after being under siege for half a year; but the process and results of this opening of the city, there are quite a few twists and turns.
Among them, Tian Lingzi, who is inexorable and rebellious, used his own surrender to the city as the bait, and used the idea of eager to grab power and unwilling to make others cheaper, and respectively contacted the three trapped people outside the city, and each secretly got in touch;
Then, with the promise of actively offering the city and the false negotiation of the conditions, he turned his play around and delayed for more than ten days until the holy lord who was walking in it could not bear to send envoys to supervise and order him again, before relaunching the offensive.
However, at this time Tian Lingzi had also arranged his funeral, and suddenly opened all the city gates to drive the people to flee; not only did they disrupt the preparations and momentum of the various officials and troops to attack the city, but also stumbled their hands and feet for a while.
When these officers and soldiers cleared up the chaotic situation, they attacked and re-attacked into the city; Tian Lingzi used himself as a bait to lure them into a fire that did not distinguish between us and the enemy outside the city. Thousands of people were killed and injured, and several cities The workshop turned into ruins.
As a result, they managed to catch Tian Lingzi, who was holding on to the east gate of the sub-city, only to find that another rogue Chen Jingxuan, who had already pretended to be a private robbery officer, was able to escape from the chaos, and went to Yazhou overnight in secret.
Therefore, this violent Xichuan Rebellion has temporarily reported a period of chaos in this kind of anticlimactic situation. Then, in order to capture Tian Lingzi's credit and who broke Chengdu's first victory, the three men and horses once again stalemate and occupy the city to confront each other.
Therefore, walking there has hurriedly sent people to go south with the edict and summoned Gao Renhou's relatively strongest Dongchuan army to go north, thus suppressing the situation inside and outside Chengdu; so as to avoid any accidents.
However, this news led to fierce disputes and opinions among many generals in the military meeting that was immediately convened.
"It's unreasonable, what is the imperial court as my generation... Is it a running dog, a servant girl who comes and leaves at the call... Isn't it our will to move to this place?"
"The situation in Chengdu has something to do with us; a good contribution to the city is not worthy of Dongchuan soldiers, so why bother with others for the sake of the relationship of others, and be exhausted..."
This is among the newly promoted generals, who are more aggressive and fierce, and there is no lack of bitter rhetoric.
"At present, the generals have already made a lot of preparations for attacking the Xiajiang River. How can the revitalization of the teacher be abandoned overnight and all previous achievements..."
"It's better to delay for a while, take the next round of the Xiajiang Road, and then consider the things that go there..."
This is the relatively serious and steady opinion of the chief general in the military.
"After all, it is the uniform decree that is going on! If it cannot be honored in time, how should the world view the handsome, and how to order the soldiers and civilians of the Xichuan prefectures with righteousness."
There were also different voices, but they were soon drowned in the turbulent sentiment of the first two.
"Mom sells batches,"
"Lao Zi Ri, your ancestor Ba Ba,"
"Isn't this to take the blood shed by the children and invite you to buy your reputation..."
"Now Sanchuan is short of salt to eat. If you don't lay down the Xiajiang Road, how can you let people live..."
"These local soldiers, civilians and people in all states are competing to surrender because of the virtue and kindness of the commander. If the army is gone, why would they abandon them..."
"Jie Shuai, there must be treacherous people around this holy emperor, it is really important to prevent it..."
"Bringing troops back to the north may not be able to do anything, but staying here has the eight states of Xichuan, but everything is possible..."
"Enough. I have decided."
Gao Renhou, who was at the top, suddenly interrupted them, with a vaguely divided and out of control atmosphere.
"It shouldn't be too late. Let us advance by water and land with all our strength to take Yuzhou first, and then divide the forces to go north..."
—I am the dividing line of the division —
And when Yuzhou and Luzhou were fierce and ignited.
In a makeshift cell in Chengdu, he was thin and haggard all dressed in linen clothes. Tian Lingzi became more benevolent. He also sat cross-legged on the rotten haystack, calmly waiting for his last moment.
Looking back on this life, he enjoyed the wealth and glory of the highest level in the world, but he also left too many regrets and regrets.
But the only thing he doesn't regret now, who is behind bars, is the result of using his remnant body as bait so that his brother Chen Jingxuan can escape;
Although he once resented his parents because of his early experiences, he also hated this younger brother who could stay at home and accept Huan's knees.
It was on a bone-chilling snowy day; the whole family, who had been interrupted for two days and shivered in the cold, regained the warmth as the father brought back a middle-aged man with a peculiar smell. Soup cake.
Then, this was his last meal in Hanou's home. The remaining memory is that after Bara, who looked at him like an animal, passed through his body, he was led by a mule to a house;
In this house, many young people like him were raised like pigs and sheep, and then they were tied up and castrated like pigs and sheep. In the screams of death and alive, they lost their lives as normal people forever. Part of it, or simply lose its life in fester and fever.
Then, as the lowest level sweeping the little yellow door, when he was constantly beaten and punished, he would again think of his cruel parents and the brother who stayed at home with a runny nose and smirk, but his face became more and more blurred and unfamiliar. stand up.
Among these Huang Clan children, he is not the smartest nor the most clever, nor is he the strongest and the most efficient; but in order to be able to eat less beatings and eat more meals, he just practiced a sense of words and expressions and complimented him. Good skills come.
As a result, those who were too clever and agile among the Huang Clan children became rotted shafts in their early days; instead of dying of fate, they were called away and never returned.
Those strong and agile were also picked out early, and served as the retinues and relatives of the supervisory courts in various places; they are the only people who are in the middle of the stream and are left in the big house.
Then he met the adoptive father Tian Huanzhe, who specially came to choose people to serve, and became the first nobleman he hit. Then, he waited until Tian Huanzhe easily kicked his feet and inherited the ministry of Xiaomafang. Go on and hit the second nobleman-King Pu.
Although Tian Lingzi felt lonely and empty around him after gaining power, and he wanted to return home to make his family cry in regret in front of him, he found that his family had almost starved to death in the past.
It was so easy for him to find this apprentice outside, and survived. In the end, he married the daughter of the shop and took over the younger brother who sold cakes. He pinched his nose to arrange his future for him, to support him as his own wings and foreign aid.
However, the other party has always been stupid and stupid, and there are many faults and shortcomings, most of the time it is not worrying; even Tian Lingzi can't wait for this partner to die if he is drunk.
But he has at least one advantage, that is, he is obedient enough, and he will do his best to fulfill any orders. Therefore, the last period of his tenure in Nishikawa was the most harmonious and closest time for his brother;
Even when Tian Lingzi categorically fell out with the Holy Lord, whom he had served for half his life, and reached the final step of committing the world's great evil, this brother was the only one who stood firmly by his side to advance and retreat together.
Therefore, it is the greatest blessing to be able to let this person of the only surviving blood relative live a little more time in this world than himself, and even to continue to disperse the blood of the family.
At the thought of the other party's last moments, the shock and old tears, who had been told about it at the last moment, had tossed on the wet mud all night without closing his eyes and had been bitten by fleas and mosquitoes, Tian Lingzi was inexplicably calm down.
However, it was not the generals who came in with the sound of the door, it was Tang Xizong’s brother-in-law, the Shou Wang Li Jie; the king who was supposed to call "Tian Gong" in front of him cordially and respectfully, but his face was full of cheerfulness and joy. The color of relief and hate the voice:
"Tian Lao Nu, do you have today..."
Then there were two men with big waists, dragging Tian Lingzi, who was silent, from behind him; Tian Lingzi, who was on standby with his eyes closed, was thinking about whether he would be decapitated, strangled, or killed himself by taking medicine. In the end, he was suddenly thrown to the ground heavily.
He couldn't help but groaned and got up, but saw that he was taken to an open-air linden room, and inside it had been arranged with various torture instruments of different colors, new and old, and the only characteristic was that they were stained with blood.
Then, the longevity king Li Jie, who described Yinglang as handsome and well-known as a good writer, especially Confucianism, spoke again:
"Does the old slave still dream of being able to endure death? If you can't make you live and suffer the torture of the world, it will be wasted my painstaking all the equipment in the city..."
Tian Lingzi's face suddenly became difficult to look, and she trembled unconsciously:
"Lao Nuhe is so watched by the king..."
"I think it is for the thousands of loyal ministers and righteous men who have killed you and died because of you..."
Li Jie, the king of longevity, is righteous:
"Don't worry, I have invited the best wound healer in the city, and you won't be freed easily..."
And now, the Luan Tai Temple in the middle of the sub-city after the rough sorting; Tang Xizong, who has been returned to the upper part, is also looking at it blankly. Young brother Mu Wang Li Yi is crying bitterly. Sobbing and knelt down on the ground and kowtowed:
"Although his younger brother was robbed by Tian Ni, he always thinks about the safety of the sage... Inherent heart is for the whole festival of the country, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to see the holy face, so I can endure the humiliation and humiliation.
"I wish to give up my life and become a monk, chanting scriptures for the monarch day and night, and ask the saint to perfect one or two..."
After Mu Wang Li Yi cried for a long time, Tang Xizong suddenly said
"You and I are close relatives of flesh and blood, how can you say that you don't have to go up and down... Now that the rightful state is shaken, and the clan is displaced, my generation should support each other and help each other..."
When Mu Wang Li Yi, who was crying inhuman and disheveled, was helped away by the eunuch. Instead, he turned to the general in front of the palace who had changed his name from Song Wentong to Li Maozhen, and said cordially:
"Brother Emperor (Ji Wang Li Bao) I will bother you to work harder..."
"I wish I could die for you..."
Li Maozhen quickly bowed down in the tunnel:
At this time in the north of Chengdu, a messenger with a small flag representing the emergency military sentiment with a small flag on the back of Yangchen, also just galloped into the station of the Sanguan marching army headed by the Left Secret Envoy Yang Fugong: (End of this chapter)
