    Chapter Six: The Tang Dynasty (Eighth Middle School)

    "Alas!" Hearing the shouts of killing getting closer and closer outside the grain depot, Bian Lingcheng, who was sorting out the accounts, also let out a long sigh.  The cry of killing first rang out from the direction of the west gate, and Wang Xun's Anxi Army was facing outside the west gate.  Then contacting Guo Ziyi's old suspicion formation, he opened the passage to the southeast of Chang'an and used a three-day appointment to confuse the morale of the defenders. Jia Chang took the initiative to ask Ying to prepare the baggage for the army's evacuation and other actions. What did the shouts of killing outside mean?  , is already ready to come out.

    Bian Lingcheng had no intention of dying for the Yan Kingdom, just as he would not die for the Tang Dynasty.  His loyalty has always been only to himself.  I just feel very unwilling to accept that all the plans that have been carried out and have not yet been carried out have all come to nothing.  Jia Chang took Zhang Tongru's command arrow and cooperated with the Anxi army to capture the west gate. Wang Mingyun took advantage of the opportunity created by Guo Ziyi and caught the defenders who were preparing to retreat by surprise.  And the scheming Guo Ziyi could later blame Wang Mingyun for not keeping his promise without any guilt, saying that the latter was arrogant and domineering and beyond his control.  Not only did his command of the city's destruction fail at all, but his personal reputation was not affected at all.

    Everyone got what they wanted, and almost everyone got what they wanted, but I was the only one who suffered.  You can¡¯t go to Luoyang, you can¡¯t go to Hebei, and you still can¡¯t go to Lingwu.  While he was feeling sorry for himself, a well-known treasury official stumbled in and shouted loudly: "Report to Mr. Bian, the enemy is about to attack. We are waiting to fight or surrender, so please hurry up and make up your mind!"  "

    "Don't worry, Bian has been in the Anxi Army for many years and has friendships with many generals. Go down and tell the brothers that their lives are in Bian's hands!" After hearing this, Bian Lingcheng immediately changed his mind.  With an enigmatic gesture, he gave instructions to the clerk who came to ask for instructions.

    That petty official also went to the doctor randomly for illness and had no time to think about whether Bian Lingcheng's words were true or false.  He agreed, turned around and went to deliver the message.  After taking only three or two steps, I suddenly heard a strange sound in the wind behind my ears, and it was too late to dodge.  Bian Lingcheng hit him in the back with a candlestick and fell to the ground screaming.

    "Don't blame Bian for being cruel. If you do, blame Wang Mingyun for not leaving everyone a way to survive!" Bian Lingcheng gritted his teeth as he reached out to take off the official's official uniform.  Several other treasury officials who came to seek help screamed and dispersed immediately when they saw this.  When Bian Lingcheng saw it, he didn't order anyone to chase him.

    In a moment, he had already put the official uniform of a junior official on himself.  He waved his hands to the soldiers standing dumbly at the door and shouted loudly, "What are you waiting for? Go and prepare your horses. By the way, load bags of grain and rice in the granary. Let's leave quickly while the chaos is in place. No one can care about the pursuit!"  "

    "No!" The soldiers were so impressed by the old eunuch's quick wit that they immediately split up to make preparations.  After a while, the war horses came, and they also brought enough food and grass for the road.  Bian Lingcheng was heartbroken, grabbed a candlestick and lit the window screens and door curtains on fire. Then he led his direct minions and rushed into the yard as quickly as possible, setting fire to several granaries.  After watching thick smoke rising from the top of the granary, he laughed a few times and rode away.

    As he had expected in advance, a pot of porridge had been cooked in Chang'an City.  Realizing that they had been deceived, Li Guiren and Zhang Tongru mobilized their troops to try to recapture Ximen.  The Anxi Army pushed inward step by step along the long, wide and straight streets in Chang'an City.  The two sides used the cover of the mansions and houses in the city to fight back and forth, killing each other brutally.  Almost every intersection was contested, and almost every bluestone was stained with blood.

    Even more so, the rebels who were originally subordinate to Sun Xiaozhe had been demoralized by the Anxi Army for more than a year. Knowing that their future was definitely hopeless, they simply gave up on themselves and started banditry in the city.  When he sees a nice house, he rushes in; when he sees something valuable, he grabs it with his life; when he sees a pretty woman, he presses it into the ground.  If someone were to stop them, no matter whether they were wearing Anxi Army armor or Great Yan Kingdom uniforms, they would all take out their knives and fight to the death.

    Back then, Bian Lingcheng followed Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing and destroyed countless cities.  Even if he changes his position, his ability to deal with chaos is still very high.  He took several of his close associates with him, hid when he saw a fight, and moved around when he saw a torch, but he was not attacked at all.  After three detours and two detours, they avoided the most fiercely contested area between the attackers and defenders, and arrived at the center north of Chang'an City, in front of the former imperial palace.

    After experiencing repeated plundering by the rebels and Sun Xiaozhe's tribe, all the rare treasures in the palace have been looted.  However, all buildings are basically intact. Although they are slightly dilapidated due to long-term lack of maintenance, with a little repair, they can quickly return to their former glory.

    "I originally wanted to take you guys back here!" Bian Lingcheng muttered as he led his trusted guards to hide in the shadow of the palace wall.  "Who would have thought that Li Heng, a loser, was so incompetent that he couldn't even restrain his generals. If it had been when Li Longji was in power, someone like Wang Mingyun would have been killed long ago.The order was issued to kill him.  No matter how great his achievements have been!  "

    When he mentioned Li Longji, he remembered the time when he ordered to kill Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi.  Suddenly, a feeling of desolation filled my heart.  Both Gao Xianzhi and later Feng Changqing actually showed great respect to him.  Although they are not very close, his share will never be left out every time the spoils are divided.  No matter how much credit he gets, he will never be forgotten as the supervisor.  Although a lot of the time, he actually hid in the background and didn't do anything serious.

    "Why do I have to kill these two people? In fact, there is no grudge between Bian and Gao and Feng at all?! If they were not killed, how could the boy named Wang chase after Bian, and why should Bian bother to kill them?  He ran for his life like a dog" As if lost, he muttered to himself in front of the palace, not caring whether anyone was listening or not.

    The soldiers were afraid that Bian Lingcheng's chatter would attract pursuers, so no one would answer his words. They lowered their heads and tried to speed up their horses.  Bian Lingcheng didn't realize it. He tilted his head and looked at the palace that was getting farther and farther away from him. He sighed and continued: "It was not Bian's idea to kill Feng Changqing that day. That guy Gao Lishi  He had done something wrong and was afraid that Wang Mingyun would retaliate against him after his rise, so he wanted to get rid of the root cause. Feng Changqing refused to help him, so he started to hate Feng Changqing. And the reason why Li Heng chose  The reason why he stood aside and watched was because Feng Changqing was too upright and refused to accept his win over. In that matter, from beginning to end, Bian was actually just a pawn who followed orders. The man named Wang did not dare to seek revenge from Li Heng.  , and there is nothing you can do about Gao Lishi, but you pursue Bian. This is unfair, unfair!"

    "Since it wasn't your idea, why didn't you explain it to Wang Mingyun! If you had explained it clearly earlier, why would we be hiding in hiding now?!" He couldn't stand being verbose.  A soldier frowned and retorted.

    "Our family wants to explain, but we have to have someone willing to listen!" Bian Lingcheng immediately turned his face and shouted angrily at the soldiers, "Our family was first left to die in Chang'an City by Li Longji, and then Sun  Xiaozhe was under surveillance as a prisoner, and it was not easy until Sun Xiaozhe left and our family reconnected with their former colleagues. However, Li Heng's son couldn't restrain his subordinates No, it's not that he couldn't restrain his subordinates. He deliberately didn't restrain them.  Bian knows too many things. He wants Bian dead. He has wanted Bian dead for a long time. He asked Bian to stay in Chang'an that day"

    Suddenly thinking of a possibility, Bian Lingcheng held his mount with a look of horror on his face.  Li Heng was also involved in the killing of Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing.  Later, they wanted to use the Anxi Army to deal with Sun Xiaozhe, so of course they had to find someone to take the blame.  So when you, Li Longji and his son, ran away, so many civil servants and generals were not left behind, but you, the eunuch, stayed behind to stop the rebels.  But now, in order to show his goodwill to Wang Xun, he promised on the surface that he would be guilty and meritorious, but in fact he let the actions of the Anxi Army go unchecked.

    No matter whether Li Longji, Li Heng and his son really think so, at least at this moment, Bian Lingcheng believes that he has guessed all the truth.  He has used conspiracy and tricks to deal with others all his life. When he examined his situation with suspicion, he found more and more "clearly" that he had fallen into a shocking trap.  But he saw through this trap and couldn't break it.  But no matter where he hides now, he can't escape the trap's coverage.

    ?? Could it be that the world is so big that there is really no limit to where one can fit in?  !  The more he thought about it, the more desperate he became. Bian Lingcheng actually didn't want to run away anymore, he just wanted to end it for himself.  Several close aides couldn't bear to watch him sit there and wait for death. They pulled and persuaded him, and finally made him give up his intention to die.  The intersection ahead was blocked by a group of broken soldiers!

    "Li Tiejian is dead, Li Tiejian is dead! The Hammer King killed him with one move, splitting the man and the horse in half!" Someone ran and wailed in despair.

    "Mo Dao soldiers, Mo Dao soldiers. The Hammer King himself rushed into the city with Mo Dao soldiers. Wu Ye An was hacked to death by him, and General Xu was also hacked to death by him. Old General Liu led people to top it, even half of the pillars  I couldn't hold on even for a long time, and I was carried down by the soldiers!" The defeated soldiers talked all over the place, exaggerating the combat effectiveness of the Anxi Army infinitely.

    Li Tiejiang and An Shourong.  Are both Xu Jie and Liu Jinzhong dead?  !  Reciting a few familiar names, Bian Lingcheng started to shiver all over.  These four people were all famous fierce generals in the Yan army. They were known to be able to kill tigers and leopards with bare hands, but today they all died at the hands of Wang Xun.  Then Wang Mingyun, who in the world can still stop him?  !

    "The master who stayed behind has ordered that everyone gather near the Zhuque Gate and block the enemy forces to the west of the imperial city at all costs. Don't mess around, everyone. Our people are three times the enemy's. As long as we stand firm" More than two dozen others  Soldiers in bright armor rode up on horseback, holding command arrows in their hands and shouting at the defeated troops.

    "Shit, stand firm. Why doesn't Zhang Tongru stand in front of him?! He asked me to wait under Mo Dao to die, so that he could pack up his luggage and run away. Do you think I'm a fool?!""Yes, you have to go on your own, Grandpa won't take care of you anymore!"

    "Grandpa is going home, grandpa is going home!"

    The rebels were all talking, and no one was willing to look back and continue fighting against the Anxi Army.  The general who delivered the order was furious. He drew his horizontal sword and slashed into the air. "Those who disobey military orders will be beheaded. Those who gather to cause chaos will be punished by their clansmen. Could it be that you want to be"

    "Fuck your grandma!" Before he could finish the threat, the defeated soldiers had already picked up the bricks and threw them at her.  At that moment, the general's helmet was smashed into a big hole, and blood flowed out from the edge of his hair.

    How could a military commander¡¯s cronies be willing to suffer such a loss?  He mobilized his mount to rush over and slashed at the defeated soldiers with his sword.  This time, the hornet's nest was completely stirred up. All the defeated soldiers rushed forward, pulling the reins of the horses and hugging their thighs.  The general who ordered the order and his cronies were pushed off their horses, and in a moment, they were chopped into pieces with random knives.

    "Everyone quit, go out of the east gate and go home by yourself!" Someone refused to do anything and suggested loudly while holding up a blood-stained horizontal knife.

    "No more, no more. Anyway, it's not our turn for the emperor to do it!" Someone immediately responded loudly, took off the armor from the general, put it under his arm, and turned around to the east.

    This action reminded everyone.  Immediately, all the defeated soldiers raised their swords and charged straight into the square closest to Zi.  Following a burst of shrill cries, fire broke out in several rooms, and several women in luxurious clothes were dragged out by the defeated soldiers, wailing.

    ¡°It¡¯s time to grab money and women!¡± A defeated soldier shouted excitedly, showing his red teeth.

    "Don't be too busy with women, look for animals first. With animals, it will be easier to walk on the road!" Some soldiers were experienced and loudly pointed out to their colleagues what was the best choice at the moment.

    Horses were pulled out of the house one after another, regardless of whether their original owners were common people of the Tang Dynasty or officials of the Yan Kingdom.  Bags of gold and silver were thrown onto the horse's back, no matter what means the original owner used to obtain them or how much thought he spent on them.  Bian Lingcheng saw that the momentum was not good and immediately turned around and took a detour.  It's a pity that there are soldiers all around who are killing people and setting fires, so he has no way to escape.

    I went around several streets but could not find a safe passage.  The war drums of the Anxi Army were getting closer and closer.  Bian Lingcheng had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush towards an intersection where there were relatively few broken troops.  As he broke in, he buried his head to avoid being recognized.

    "That old guy, don't run away. Where did your horse come from? Grandpa is really lacking a few legs!" The defeated soldiers, who were already red-eyed, were not willing to let go of this fat fish in front of them.  He immediately blocked the way with a torch and demanded to "requisition" Bian Lingcheng's war horses.

    Seeing the huge disparity in numbers between the two sides, Bian Lingcheng had no choice but to accept his fate.  He signaled to the soldiers not to resist, jumped off his mount, and took the initiative to hand over the reins.

    "You know what you're doing, old boy!" The defeated soldiers got a good horse and didn't want to embarrass the horse's owner anymore.  He waved his hand, signaling Bian Lingcheng and others to get out of here.

    Bian Lingcheng lowered his head, swallowed his anger and walked out of the crowd.  Kankan was about to get out of danger. Suddenly, one of the defeated soldiers shouted and chased after him with a knife, blocking the way again, "Don't let him escape! This guy is Bian Lingcheng, the enemy of the Hammer King. Catch him."  Let him go with us, and if we can't escape, hand him over, we will definitely save his life!"
