Chapter 358 Ugly is a bit ugly
Jinyang.
There were flames all over the city, and there were screams everywhere.
The sound of rapid footsteps on the road was heard, and the door was smashed and screams were heard.
In the courtyard, many warriors were holding weapons and looking warily in the direction of the gate, their faces pale and trembling.
There were many warriors armed with crossbows around, occupying favorable terrain and aiming their weapons at several entrances.
In the inner room, a group of people gathered around Zhao Yanshen, talking incessantly.
Compared with everyone's panic, Zhao Yanshen's expression was relatively calm.
He sat there with the same expression on his face.
His son, General Zhao Zhong, stood in front of him, his voice trembling.
"Father, run, find a way to escape from here."
"Some people started attacking our mansion last night. We still have too few people. We need to run out first!"
The other disciples and guests also nodded.
"Mr. Zhao, if you don't run now, it will really be too late."
"I sent people to look outside. There was chaos inside and outside the city. There was no order. The soldiers were looting everywhere. Many generals were killed. There were constant shouts of killing from the palace!"
"We have to find a way to leave!"
Everyone tried to persuade him.
After Duan Shao secretly ran away with the emperor, chaos began to appear throughout Jinyang. Following Duan Shao's instructions, Zhao Yanshen worked hard to appease many generals, thinking of taking them to defect to Liu Taozi as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, what he faced was a bunch of old Xianbei.
Lao Xianbei never cared about the future, only the present.
When they learned that Duan Shao and the emperor had left and there was a gap in Jinyang's military power, the generals were instantly ready to take Duan Shao's position and become the leader of Jinyang.
Cedillo was the first to make a move.
He called everyone together in the name of discussing important matters, and then forced these people to submit to him. Then they started fighting, killing many and injuring others. When they learned that the general had been killed, their officers and soldiers also began to attack each other.
.
The shortage of food and grass added to the confusion.
In just a short period of time, the entire Jinyang turned into this ghostly state.
Jinyang soldiers under various military leaders fought with each other, and some Jinyang soldiers who had no access to food and grass came out to cause trouble. They started killing people crazily and looting everywhere, and the whole Jinyang instantly turned into hell.
Zhao Yanshen and other civil servants really could not play any role in this situation. They could only close the door and hope for happiness.
The heads of those ministers who rushed forward to appease the rebels had already been dried by the wind.
Zhao Yan sighed deeply.
He looked at the frightened people in front of him. It was normal to be afraid.
These lunatics in Jinyang began to cause chaos. No general could step in to suppress them in time, and everyone who saw them was afraid.
Things were somewhat beyond Zhao Yanshen's prediction, and perhaps even beyond Duan Shao's prediction.
Zhao Yanshen originally thought that the generals, who were short of food and grass and without their leader, would not object to following him to join Liu Taozi.
After all, Liu Taozi also has considerable prestige in front of Jinyang soldiers.
However, he still underestimated the desires of these madmen.
When they learned that Duan Shao was gone, their first thought was to snatch Duan Shao's position.
No matter how many days I can be a great Sima, I will do it first.
Then, a huge internal melee broke out. Jinyang, where the old Xianbei people were the densest, was massacred by his own family. There were fires and screams everywhere.
Zhao Yanshen looked at them and whispered: "When Duan Shao left, the general's men must have known about the situation in Jinyang."
"I think they may have fought with the rebels outside the city."
"Don't be afraid. It's even more dangerous to stay in the mansion and leave the mansion rashly."
Everyone lowered their heads and fidgeted. Everyone was frightened, and some of the timid ones even started wiping away tears.
Zhao Yanshen closed his eyes again.
Duan Shao was able to escape successfully, but a military rebellion broke out in Jinyang.
His many years of planning were torn to pieces when he was about to succeed.
Zhao Yanshen couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
Sure enough, am I still not suitable for big things?
At this moment, the warriors in the courtyard suddenly started shouting again, and there was a faint sound of banging on the door. Everyone in the room had their hearts in their throats, and they pulled out their swords tremblingly.
"Let me go!"
"Let me go~~"
There were cries and howls in the village, and the surrounding houses were burning with fire.
There were many corpses lying on the ground, and a soldier walked out of the firelight with a woman in his arms.
On the dead wood in the distance, the crow flapped its wings in fear and fled in a hurry.
The rebel soldiers piled together the living and dead women they found, and a few others went to search along the road. The ones in charge of the guards had already begun to put down their weapons and take off their clothes.
The ground trembled slightly.
The rebels didn't care, they were just immersed in their desire to vent their animal nature.
With the neighing of the war horses, a group of cavalry rushed out from the path in the distance.
The moment these knights emerged, they began to bend their bows and shoot arrows.
"Swish swish~~"
"Pfft~~"
A round of arrows killed the soldiers who stayed here. Almost none of the arrows missed, and every arrow hit the enemy.
There were screams of surprise not far away, and the rebel soldiers carrying many large and small packages saw these knights and hurriedly raised their weapons.
The knights galloped past and looked at the rebels.
After a while, the dozen or so rebel soldiers fell down and were buried in the sea of fire they had ignited.
The knights began to check on the situation of the village women.
More and more troops appeared from the path.
There are cavalry and infantry.
The army hurried past on the path, and some scouts came back to report the situation.
Yao Xiong rode a tall war horse and walked in the front army's position.
His face was gloomy and his eyes were flashing with anger.
There was another person walking beside him on horseback, it was Gao Yanzong.
Yao Xiong looked at the burned village with him and the corpses everywhere.
Yao Xiong said fiercely: "Sometimes, I really want to write a letter to my brother, telling him not to recapture any Jinyang soldiers. It is not an exaggeration to kill all soldiers like this."
Gao Yanzong looked a little embarrassed and said: "The rebel soldiers are like this. No matter whose family the rebel soldiers are, once they rebel from the military camp and leave the officers, they will become the most ferocious bandits. This has nothing to do with whether they are Jinyang soldiers or not.
"
"Jinyang soldiers are the sharpest blades in the world. If they are good at listening to orders, they will be like the general."
"As long as they are fed and fed, they will not hesitate even if they are asked to attack Chang'an immediately."
Yao Xiong was still very angry, "On my way here, I didn't meet many of the brave Jinyang soldiers you mentioned, but I met a lot of bandits."
"They not only harmed Jinyang, but also ran around. If I hadn't made arrangements to block these beasts around, I don't know how much harm Bingzhou would have suffered!"
Gao Yanzong did not answer, but shook his head in regret.
After letting Duan Shao escape, Yao Xiong led his troops close to Jinyang, contacted Lao Tian, and prepared to recapture Jinyang.
But then there was internal fighting in Jinyang. The generals killed each other, and a large number of defeated troops fled and became rioters without officers. They burned, killed and looted. Yao Xiong had to deploy the surrounding defense lines first to reduce the harm of the rioters as much as possible.
Then he led people to encircle and suppress the Jinyang soldiers who were causing trouble.
As we get closer and closer to Jinyang, we encounter more and more rebels, rebels, and even soldiers fighting each other.
If he encounters troops that are still organized but are just killing each other, Yao Xiong will ask Gao Yanzong to come forward.
Gao Yanzong still had some status in Jinyang. Facing these Jinyang soldiers who had no generals and were led by officers, he could use his personal prestige to make them submit and return to the settlements arranged for them.
If it cannot be solved with personal prestige, then it can be solved through formation and slaying the future.
But if you encounter such rioters who are completely out of order, burning, killing and looting, you will just shoot them directly.
Yao Xiong led the troops and continued to advance.
Further ahead is Jinyang City.
Just from what he saw along the road, Yao Xiong could imagine what Jinyang must be like at this moment.
"kill!!!"
We just crossed the small road and came to the official road leading to Jinyang.
Yao Xiong and others saw two armies fighting in the distance.
The size of these two armies is not small, with thousands of people. One group of them occupied the post house next to the official road, and surrounded the post house and the surrounding dense forest to resist. There were many crossbowmen on the roof, and they were fighting.
Shoot the oncoming enemies.
As for the charging group, most of them were cavalry, flying back and forth shooting arrows.
Yao Xiong's face darkened, and Gao Yanzong hurriedly said: "General Yao, please don't take action yet. I'll go and convince them."
Gao Yanzong galloped out and rushed towards them.
Gao Yanzong just rushed into the formation of both sides. He looked around, looked at the flags in the distance, and suddenly cursed loudly: "Ke Baqing!! Kezhuhunque!! What the hell are you doing?
!”
"Get out of here!!"
Gao Yanzong's roar was like thunder.
For a moment, several knights around him couldn't help but slow down.
"stop!!"
Someone shouted, and the charging cavalry began to slow down, gradually retreated, and quickly formed formations on both sides.
Gao Yanzong faced these people alone, with no fear on his face, a horse in his hand, and a fiery look on his face.
"Ke Baqing!! You thief?! Where have you been hiding?!"
After a moment, a general rushed out from among the knights. The general was not very old and looked to be a few years older than Gao Yanzong. His armor was stained with blood.
He rushed in front of Gao Yanzong and looked at Gao Yanzong in disbelief.
The most recent chapters being read!
"King?!"
"Is that you?!"
"Why, in the past it was just my legs and feet that were weak, but now my eyes are blind?!"
The general turned over and dismounted, rushed in front of Gao Yanzong, saluted him, and then said with red eyes, "Your Majesty!"
"My general was killed by the rebels. We all have no support and no food and grass."
Gao Yanzong looked into the distance, and those people were still staring at him eagerly.
"Kisshu Hunque!! You bastard, get out!!"
Gao Yanzong shouted angrily again.
After a while, a man also flew out from the enemy's side. Seeing the person clearly, he accelerated his speed and got off his horse when he was close to Gao Yanzong.
"King!!"
Ke Zhuhunque looked angrily at Ke Baqing who was standing aside.
"Your Majesty! You have to make the decision for me. This guy rebelled and dared to lead his men to ambush me and try to steal my army's food supplies!!"
"Asshole! You did it first!"
The two were about to quarrel, but Gao Yanzong stopped them again.
"Look at you, it's really ridiculous!"
"We are all old people from Jinyang. We used to eat together, drink together, and sleep together. But now, without the Grand Sima, they have begun to turn against each other, kill each other, and let the defeated soldiers massacre their fellow villagers!!"
"Is this how you lead the Jinyang soldiers?!"
The two generals immediately lowered their heads, their expressions a bit ugly.
But he didn't dare to say more.
Gao Yanzong motioned for them to follow him and led them back.
The two of them followed Gao Yanzong, one on the left and the other on the right. "I have surrendered to the general at the moment. The general learned about the chaos in Jinyang and has already begun to lead troops to Jinyang. Fortunately, you met me. If you met
How can a general allow you to be so presumptuous?"
The two men looked at each other, and Ke Baqing asked hurriedly: "Your Majesty, but Grand Sima once issued a proclamation, saying that he is a great general."
"What? You still want to fight with the general?"
"How dare you, how dare you."
"Duan Shao has left. From now on, everything north of the river will belong to the general, even if the general has the final say. Jinyang soldiers will also belong to the general."
"You two first meet with General Yao Xiong."
Gao Yanzong took them to visit Yao Xiong. Although Yao Xiong's face was ugly, he did not embarrass the two generals. Gao Yanzong immediately asked Yao Xiong to send a group of people to lead the two men to different places for resettlement.
Gao Yanzong stopped them and said in a low voice: "Please be patient! Someone will arrange food and drink when you arrive. If anyone dares to cause trouble for me again, I will chop him up first and then let the wizard come."
Curse him to have no peace after death!"
The two were frightened and agreed again.
Gao Yanzong sent away two groups of people like this, with a look of helplessness on his face.
"These two people followed me to Yecheng in the past. They were still my most capable men at that time. The relationship between the two is not very good, but they can be regarded as old acquaintances. I didn't expect that."
"If I had known, I would have tied up Duan Shao and left with him. I never expected that he would do such a thing."
"He has been stationed in Jinyang for many years, but he didn't care at all and allowed the rebels to wreak havoc."
Yao Xiong raised his head and looked at the flaming city in the distance.
"When I first learned that Duan Shao had left, many people in the country were still discussing how to deal with these military leaders and generals stationed in Jinyang."
"Now it seems that we don't need to solve it, they have solved it themselves."
Yao Xiong took something out of his arms and threw it to Gao Yanzong in front of him.
Gao Yanzong hurriedly took it and looked down, a little surprised.
"This is??"
"This is the tiger talisman of the Bingzhou Army."
"The troops in Bingzhou will be given to you to command first. You can lead them at the front and restore order to the Jinyang soldiers as soon as possible to appease the people everywhere."
Gao Yanzong was a little surprised. Yao Xiong, who was going to Jinyang, held two tiger talismans in his hands, and both Shuozhou soldiers and Bingzhou soldiers were at his disposal.
The two had known each other in the past, but this time they met, their relationship was not that close. Their attitudes and stances towards Jinyang Bing were different.
Gao Yanzong asked in confusion: "It's not like there are no others in the army, why should I be the commander?"
"I don't like Jinyang Bing, and I don't like you that much."
"But my brother once told me that you know your mistakes and can correct them, you are brave and strong, and you are a talented general."
"I listen to my brother, and he is never wrong."
"Since you have the talent of a general, come and help me. Let's end these bastard things as soon as possible."
Gao Yanzong shook the tiger charm in his hand and put it into his sleeve.
He looked at Yao Xiong solemnly.
"The general never said anything wrong."
He looked at several officers, motioned for them to follow him, and immediately charged towards the city.
Yao Xiong looked at the rest of the people and said, "Quickly deploy troops at several city gates in Jinyang to prevent these people from escaping!"
The two of them assigned errands and went to work separately.
Yao Xiong assigned his soldiers near various city gates and asked them to find favorable terrain, dig ravines and set up defenses on the spot to prevent the enemy from entering or exiting the city.
Compared with Yao Xiong who had complicated things, what Gao Yanzong had to do was very simple.
Rush up and stab the disobedient ones to death.
Gao Yanzong led a group of light cavalry and headed straight into Jinyang City.
When encountering troops along the road, he would first warn them and ask them to surrender. If the other side was unwilling or showed contempt, Gao Yanzong would directly lead his troops to attack them.
Although the Jinyang soldiers were strong, they lost their generals to organize them, and were directly attacked by Gao Yanzong, so they were unable to hold on.
Gao Yanzong and Xiao Mohe are of the same nature. They are tall, fat and powerful. When fighting, he is like a crazy mad cow. He is at the forefront, bumping into whoever he sees, and the little fat man is originally
He was born with divine power, and after years of training, he seemed to be even better than his brother in terms of force alone.
Ordinary generals were basically killed by Gao Yanzong after they met him.
Occasionally, there are a few who can last for one round. Relying on his abnormal physical fitness, this flexible fat man covered in flesh has assassinated the traitorous generals one after another.
And more and more people are willing to follow him.
Gao Yanzong fought without fear from the east gate of Jinyang and came out from the west gate. The sides of his horse were covered with heads.
Then he turned around and went back to clean up the streets again.
Yao Xiong stood at the gate of the city, watching the nearly 10,000 rebels in the city being chased by Gao Yanzong and running around.
These Jinyang soldiers, who were usually very famous, now only regretted that they only had two legs. They were hunted down from the East City Gate to the West City Gate, and then were killed along the outer wall from the West City Gate to the North City Gate.
Gao Yanzong only gave the enemy one chance. If he didn't surrender once, he would be hunted down and killed, and it would be too late to surrender again.
Seeing this fat man driving Jinyang soldiers around like a sheep, Yao Xiong was stunned for a long time.
Although he looks ugly, he can really fight!
Zhao Yanshen walked out of the door tremblingly.
The streets were covered with corpses.
The strong smell of blood hit his face.
There were only about a hundred riders in this mountain of corpses and sea of blood. The leader was all red, as if he had swam in blood. Even his eyes were red. He was staring at Zhao Yanshen.
The juniors around Zhao Yanshen were so frightened that they fell to the ground and did not dare to face each other.
Zhao Yanshen stared at the man in front of him for a long time before he recognized him!
"King Ander?!"
Gao Yanzong wiped the blood on his face, revealing his unruly face.
He looked at Zhao Yanshen in front of him with contempt, "Old man Zhao? Are you still alive?"
