    Chapter 6 The Tang Dynasty (Final Chapter 10)

    As if a basin of cold water had been poured on him, the fire in Wang Xun's heart was extinguished instantly.  Bian Lingcheng was indeed acting according to his orders. One of the culprits who killed Uncle Feng was hiding in Shu and the other was hiding in Lingwu.  However, it was impossible for him to kill unless he, like Yu Wenzhi, raised the flag of rebellion and spread the flames of war throughout the Tang Dynasty.

    While he was feeling angry, there was suddenly another rapid sound of horse hooves on the street.  Anlehou Jia Chang rode a bloody war horse and rushed over like a madman. As he ran, he shouted loudly, "Where is Wang Jiedu? Where is Wang Jiedu? Wang Mingyun, take me to see Wang Mingyun quickly. Something bad is going on."  Got it!"

    "I'm here, what's going on!" Wang Xun dropped Bian Lingcheng and looked back.  After An Le, Jia Chang rolled off his mount covered in bright red as if fished out of a pool of blood.  While crawling towards himself on hands and feet, he cried and said: "Go quickly, go to the Dongshi area. The Huihe people have entered the city from Beimén and want blood. Wash Chang'an with blood!"

    "What?" Wang Xun was shocked. He rushed over, hugged Jia Chang with both hands, and asked sternly, "Where's Commander Guo? Why didn't Commander Guo stop him? Are those Uighurs under his control?!"

    "I don't know, I don't know!" Jia Chang took a breath and cried loudly, "I opened the city gate and let them in to help deal with the rebels. Unexpectedly, after they entered the gate, they immediately started killing people and setting fires. My people went to stop them.  , they killed them all with one knife! Go quickly and bring people there quickly, otherwise, Beicheng and the palace area will be in ruins!"

    "Damn it!" Wang Xun was furious, leaving Jia Chang behind and strode out.  "Blow the trumpet and order the Anxi Army to give up chasing the rebels and gather near Dongshi. I'll wait for them over there!" As he walked, he issued the order loudly.  From the corner of his eye, he saw the prisoner kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, and quickly added, "If you want to survive, get on your horse and follow me to kill the Huihe people. Drive them away, and I will accept you into the Anxi Army!"

    "Thank you, Marshal!" The rebel cavalry was overjoyed and immediately got up to pack their weapons and horses.  Captain Zhou Duwei and other defeated soldiers also gathered their weapons and prepared to follow Wang Xun in troubled waters.  When the old eunuch Bian Lingcheng saw this, he smiled even more happily.  While rolling in a pool of blood, he jeered loudly, "Haha, haha, this is the Tang Dynasty you rebuilt. Haha, haha, our family is laughing to death, our family is laughing to death!"

    "Go to hell!" Anlehou Jia Chang came over, raised his knife and cut off Bian Lingcheng's neck.

    Wang Xun has no intention of quarreling with Bian Lingcheng anymore. This man has gone completely crazy. There is no difference between living and dead.  What he was upset about was that he was negligent and didn't even consider the 100,000 Huihe reinforcements under Guo Ziyi's command.  Even if the military discipline of other soldiers and horses was as slutty as that of the Shenwu Army, relying on the strength of the Anxi Army, he could barely suppress it.  However, the overall strength of the more than 100,000 Huihe reinforcements was far superior to that of the Anxi army. How should he face them?  !

    "I'm going to find Guo Ziyi!" Jia Chang grabbed Bian Lingcheng's head and staggered after him from behind.  "Since he is the general marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, he can't just ignore everything?! Chang'an is still going to be the capital after all. If it is looted by the Huihe people, the emperor will not let him go lightly!"

    "I will send someone to escort you. No matter where he is hiding, we will dig him out!" Wang Xun nodded and agreed with a straight face.  He didn't understand why Guo Ziyi indulged the Uighurs so much. With the current strength of the Tang Dynasty, even without the help of these Uighur soldiers, he could still slowly put away the rebels.  How good is it now? The front door is fighting a tiger, and the back door is facing a wolf

    "You should be more careful!" Jia Chang got on the horse again with the help of Mo Daoshou, and whispered to Wang Xun, "I know what happened tonight, Guo Ziyi and you have a tacit understanding for a long time. But that guy is mature.  jing…”

    He was preparing to tell a few words of Wang Xi's defense, but he saw that the other party had jumped into a mount from the captives and galloped in the direction of the East City.

    "Alas!" Jia Chang, the Marquis of Anle, shook his head and sighed in a low voice.  Then he resolutely raised his head and struck the horse's back with a whip, "You take care of yourself to protect Wang Jiedu. I will go out of the city to find Guo Ziyi, Li Siye and Li Guangbi. Jia doesn't believe it. My generals in the Tang Dynasty all want to  I want to get promoted and make a fortune!"

    "Master Jia, be careful!" Wei Feng and others agreed, organized the team, and led everyone to Dongshi.  They were all wearing heavy armor, and of course they couldn't walk too fast.  After finally arriving at the destination, other Anxi soldiers and horses scattered in the city chasing the rebels also arrived.  Everyone gathered together, looking at the north burned red by the flames, with angry faces.

    Nearly a quarter of Chang'an was set on fire, and the fierce fire mixed with thick smoke illuminated Chang'an like daylight.  In the light of the fire, all the soldiers saw groups of Uighur soldiers carrying large and small packages, bronze and wooden utensils, women and children that they had snatched, and they laughed and danced.

    "Stop, stop! Stop immediately. Otherwise, shoot without mercy!" Song Wu, Wan Qi Yu Xie, Wang ShiThey led the Anxi Army cavalry and yelled at the Uighur thieves.  The other party refused to pay attention to them at all. It was not until the war horses rushed to their side that they raised their scimitars and shooed them away like flies. At the same time, they muttered a string of strange words.

    "Jun Ye, help me!" A ragged woman rushed out of the square and shouted for help to Wan Qi Yu Xie.  Several Uighur soldiers caught up with her from behind, chopped her down with a knife, and then took off her blood-stained clothes with a smile.

    "Damn it!" Wanqiyu Xie was furious. He rode his horse over and chopped down the assailant Uighur soldiers to the ground.  This time it stirred up a hornet's nest. The Huihe people who had previously ignored the Anxi army dropped the gold and silver they had stolen, held their weapons high, and surrounded Wanqi Yuxue in the center.

    "Kill!" How could Wang Xun helplessly watch Wanqi Yuxue being hacked to death? He waved his hands vigorously without considering the consequences of the conflict between the two armies.  The entire group of Anxi Army brothers behind him had long been furious. They rushed forward in formation, dispersed the Uighurs who besieged Wanqi Yuxie, and rescued all their brothers.

    The nearby Uighur soldiers were furious and did not care to continue looting. They gathered in one place and, led by a nobleman dressed as a young Burke, launched a counterattack against the Anxi army.  Wang Xun had no way to retreat, so he also waved his command flag and pressed the other three regiments of soldiers and horses forward.

    Although they do not have a numerical advantage, street fighting is the specialty of the Anxi Army.  More than a thousand brothers, led by generals at all levels, marched in formation and soon divided the group of Uighur soldiers in front of them into several sections.  Although the Uighur soldiers who were divided and surrounded were large in number, their cooperation with each other was far less skillful than that of the Anxi Army, and their combat experience and training level were not the same as those of the Anxi Army.  First, he was shot by an archer and made to run away with his head covered, and then Wanqi Yuxue led the Tiger Wing Camp to kill him and turned him upside down.  Seeing that the momentum was not right, most of the remaining soldiers screamed and ran out of the city.

    "Gather the team and push north along here. Drive the thieves out of Chang'an!" Now that the fight has started, Wang Xun has no scruples anymore.  Simply give the order directly, starting from the East City and targeting the Uighurs who rushed into the city, to purge the entire Chang'an.

    "Nuo!" Mo Daoshou, Changshanshou, Shieldsmen, Archers, Cavalry, Infantry, Heavy Troops, as well as the teams of Yao Shashui from the Western Regions who had been following Wang Xun back to Chang'an to aid Chang'an responded in unison.  Holding weapons high, they launched an attack array.

    The Uighurs who were looting everywhere were caught off guard and were defeated by the Anxi army.  Soon, they were driven out from the Dongshi and Chongrenfang areas, and fled to the northwest of Chang'an City, yelling and cursing all the way.

    Wang Xun separated a thousand elites, led by Song Wu, to blockade the large and small cities in the north again.  Then they continued to push forward in pursuit of the defeated Uighur troops, passing by the East Palace, Taiji Palace, and Yeting Palace, until they pushed the Uighurs to the northwest corner of Chang'an City, near the Guanghua Menn.

    Along the way, they constantly encountered rebels and Tang troops taking advantage of the situation. They were also regarded as accomplices of the Huihe people by the Anxi army. They killed and drove them away and drove them outside Guanghua Gate.

    The people of Chang'an, who had been waiting for death, suddenly saw a team fighting with the robbers. No matter which emperor they were, they knelt down on the roadside and worshiped.

    Wang Xun had no time to accept the people's kneeling, nor did he have the courage to accept it, so he just pushed forward with his team.  Tonight's disaster was caused by him. If he insisted on not letting the rebels go, Chang'an City might not have suffered this catastrophe.  if…

    However, the sights along the way interrupted his confession.

    The palace was not damaged, and the East Palace, Taiji Palace, and Yeting Palace were intact.  The impact on Fuxingfang and Xiudefang was very slight. On the east side of the imperial city, Chongrenfang, which Wang Xun was most concerned about, did not suffer much damage.  As if they had received special instructions, the Uighurs deliberately avoided the residences of the royal family and dignitaries.  The closer to the palace, the smaller the damage.  The further away, the more severe the damage.

    Wang Xun’s brows furrowed as he drove away the bandits.  Something is wrong, there is definitely something wrong with this situation.  But he couldn't tell what the specific problem was.  Occasionally, a few Huihe prisoners were captured, but because the other party's level was too low and the information they had was limited, they could not find out who Ziwu Maoyou was.

    The Anxi Army never shows mercy to its enemies. In the blink of an eye, another wave of anger drove the gangsters out of Guanghua Gate.  After leaving the Guanghua Gate, the gangsters fled in all directions.  There were only large and small bundles left on the ground, all dripping with blood.

    "You take my saber and go into the city to deliver orders for the police from Chang'an and Wannian counties to take to the streets to maintain law and order. If you encounter anyone who takes advantage of the situation, just kill them. No matter who you kill, the Anxi Army will take care of them!" Wang Xun continued!  He held the sword across his waist and handed it to the guard commander Wang Shisan.  The situation tonight was too chaotic, and he did not dare to easily divide his troops into the city to clean up the remaining bandits.  I can only hand over the task to the local police, hoping that they can take care of the generous support of the villagers and do their part.

    "No!" Wang Shisan wiped the blood from his face and took the order.  Other generals were reorganizing their troops, prepare for the next battle.  Just now, everyone's mass killing without distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy has offended all friendly forces.  No one knows what will happen next moment!

    They didn’t have to wait too long. After about half a stick of incense, a low horn sounded outside the city.  Immediately afterwards, countless lanterns and torches swarmed to the foot of Chang'an City like a sea of ??lanterns. In front of the sea of ??lanterns, Prince Ye Hu of Huihe held a wolf fang weapon with an angry look on his face, "If you have the surname Wang, don't hide away?!"

    "Come out, the one named Wang! Come out, the one named Wang!"

    “Dare to take action, don’t hide behind others like a woman!” The Uighur soldiers who felt insulted shouted in unison, repeating the provocative words over and over again in Tang dialect and Turkic dialect.

    "Wang is right here!" Wang Xun gently tapped the stirrup and urged his mount forward.  "May I ask Prince Yehu for any advice?!"

    He was so famous in the Western Region that even riding alone made Prince Ye Hu feel tremendous pressure.  The latter first looked to his side to make sure that all the loyal guards were there.  Then he waved his machete and said with bared teeth and claws: "Your emperor invited us to come to help in the battle. How can you turn your back and deny me?! You just killed at least a thousand of my brothers. If you don't pay the full amount, don't you?"  Blame me for not caring about the friendship between the two families!"

    "The friendship between the two families?!" Wang Xun heard from Prince Ye Hu's words that the other party did not want to fight with him.  He was stunned and asked with a smile, "Why didn't Mr. Wang see the friendship between the two families? Mr. Wang just saw your people burning, killing and looting in front of my house. If Mr. Wang lets you do whatever you want, how can Mr. Wang still do it?  Is he considered a man?"

    "Who is your family?" Prince Ye Hu was also stunned, and then he remembered the other party's place of origin.  As someone who grew up reading Han books, he knew that Wang Xun's actions were reasonable and reasonable.  However, tribal interests prevent him from compromising easily with the other party.  "Where is the entrance of your family here? This is clearly the home of the rebels! The enemy's property, men and women, can be taken by anyone who enters the city. How can you take them all by yourself?!"

    This is strictly the rule of the Western Region. When Wang Xun's troops entered Zhezhe, he also divided the entire city with his allies.  However, Chang'an is his home, and the people living there are neither enemy citizens nor aliens!  His brows jumped up, and he snorted coldly from his nostrils, "Even if everyone entering the city has a share, you still have to be far behind Wang. Wang was the first to fight outside Chang'an City, fighting with the rebels.  It took nearly a hundred battles to finally capture this city. Who did you fight with? How many rebels have you killed? What achievements have you made? You actually dare to use the word "share account" with Wang!"

    "You!" Prince Ye Hu blushed and waved the sword back and forth in his hand.  Although he had many soldiers and horses under his command, the number of enemies he killed was far less than that of the Anxi army.  The role played in the capture of Chang'an was even worse.  This is partly because the Anxi army arrived early, but the bigger reason is that Guo Ziyi only wanted to conquer the enemy without fighting, and did not fight against the rebels at all!

    Since neither the principles of the Central Plains nor the principles of the Western Regions could gain any advantage, Prince Ye Hu simply tore off the last fig leaf.  "What's the use of all this?! When your emperor borrowed troops from my father, he personally promised that after the city of Chang'an was captured, the city and palace would belong to him, and we could take whatever people and property there were back to Hehe. It was written in black and white there.  Come on, are you going to default on your debt?!"

    "What!" As if he heard a thunderbolt, Wang Xun's body shook and he almost fell off his mount.  No wonder the Uighurs deliberately avoided the palace and nearby buildings when setting fires, and no wonder the Uighurs acted confidently when they looted.  It turns out that Li Heng and his son had sold Chang'an City a long time ago.

    But since the imperial court had sold Chang'an, why didn't Guo Ziyi make it clear to herself?  Instead of sparing no effort to create opportunities for the Anxi Army to enter Chang'an first?  !  Holding on to the last glimmer of hope, he struggled to sit up straight and said in a trembling voice: "You lied, General Guo, why did General Guo never tell Wang about this? Bring the evidence, otherwise, there is no way to enter Chang'an."  city!"

    "Guo Ziyi, where is Guo Ziyi? He is a kind person, and he will definitely not help you go back on his word!" Seeing that Wang Xun's expression did not seem to be fake, Prince Ye Hu frowned and shouted loudly, "You guys, hurry up and find Guo Ziyi. Let him  Come out and testify, come out and testify for me. He saw it with his own eyes when we made the covenant. It’s written in black and white. Even if you want to deny it, you can’t deny it!”

    As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of noise suddenly came from behind the sea of ??lanterns.  Immediately, several horses, carrying an old man with white beard and hair, walked out slowly.

    This person is none other than Guo Ziyi. Tonight he is not wearing the marshal robe of the Tang Dynasty, nor is he carrying any weapons.  Like an old man next door, he stood between Wang Xun and Ye Hu and gently cupped his hands, "Prince Ye Hu, calm down your anger for now. Wang Jiedu, don't be angry either. We are all our own people, what things can't be discussed slowly?"  !”

    "Then tell me, did your emperor sign a contract with my father? After regaining Chang'an, what happened to the city?"The palace buildings and buildings in the palace belong to the Tang Dynasty, and the silk fabrics from the palace belong to Huihe.  Signed or not, signed or not?  !  "Prince Ye Hu didn't want to save face for anyone, so he roared loudly at Guo Ziyi.

    Tens of thousands of pairs of eyes turned together to Guo Ziyi, who had flowing white hair.  The old general was almost suffocated by everyone's gaze. He struggled a few times, nodded with difficulty, and responded in a low voice: "Indeed, there was indeed such an appointment. Your Majesty, Your Majesty had no choice at the time!"

    "I don't care if he has no choice but to do it. Once you sign the contract, it must count!" Prince Ye Hu roared loudly and danced at Wang Xun.

    brush!  It was as if the entire Tianhe River had poured down, drenching Wang Xun and the Anxi Army brothers behind him.  Everyone just felt that the sky was spinning, the earth was turning, and the torches and balls around them were jumping constantly.  A heart that was once fiery suddenly became as cold and hard as thousands of years of ice.

    We all once swore to rebuild a Tang Dynasty on top of the ruins!

    But if the rebuilt Tang Dynasty looks like this, what’s the point of rebuilding it?  !  Suddenly, Wang Xun thought of the brothers' eyes that could not be closed by the Yaosha River.  And those heroic words he once said.  Then, he saw Xue Jingxian's speechless face, and the cautious expressions of the Qin brothers that day.

    It turns out that you already knew this?  Surrounded by the boundless coldness and darkness, he turned his head with difficulty and looked at Guo Ziyi's side.  The Qin brothers did not dare to meet his eyes and turned their heads away to look behind themselves.

    The boundless light bulbs and torches were like an ocean. Generals of the Tang Dynasty such as Li Siye, Bai Xiaode, Wang Sili, Pugu Huaien, and Li Guangbi led their troops and arrived angrily.  The brothers under their command were attacked indiscriminately by the Anxi Army just now. They must seek justice for their brothers.

    Xue Jingxian also hurried over with his troops and horses. Seeing Wang Xun's angry eyes, he stuck his head into his chest in shame.  There were more than 100,000 soldiers and horses on the opposite side of the Anxi Army. Even if the few brothers under his command rushed to help Wang Xun, they would not be of any use.  We can only stand at a distance and watch the progress of the situation.

    "Second brother, second brother, don't be impulsive. Don't be impulsive!" Another panicked shout came from behind. Ma Fang, the deputy commander of Shenwu General, was panting and his face was covered with sweat. He rushed to Wang Xun and grabbed his horse.  Reins, "Second brother, if you have anything to say, don't be impulsive. Don't be impulsive. As long as our brothers are here, sooner or later we can get back to where we are today!"

    "You also know?" Wang Xun turned his gaze to him and asked for help.

    "We didn't know what Wang Xun was asking, but we guessed the truth from everyone's faces. His immature face immediately turned red, he shook his head and said loudly: "I don't know what you said?  But I didn't mean for you to divide your forces.  No, I really didn’t mean to let you divide your troops.  I just want to save Master and Zhang Tanhuā as soon as possible.  Really, I swear to God!  "

    "No need! I believe you!" Wang Xun opened his mouth, his hoarse voice filled with bitterness.  He believed that Ma Fang would not harm him intentionally, but it was a fact that half of his elite men were not around at the moment.  Someone took advantage of Ma Fang, and someone started preparing for this moment!  Not to protect Chang'an, but to successfully hand over the Hecheng elders to the Huihe people as slaves.

    "Haha, haha, this is the Tang Dynasty you rebuilt. Haha, haha, it makes our family laugh to death, it makes our family laugh to death!" Bian Lingcheng's laughter suddenly sounded from his ears again, with a sound of despair.  .

    He wanted to chop down the ghost with his knife, but his body seemed to be frozen, unable to move at all.  He wanted to scold Guo Ziyi and Li Heng for being shameless, but he opened his mouth, but no words came out.  I felt my eyes darkened and my throat was blocked. I said "Wow!" and a mouthful of blood spurted out!

    "General!"

    "Commander!"

    Wan Qiyu Xie, Fang Ziling and others quickly rushed out, rushed to Wang Xun's side, and held him tightly.  "Let's go, let's go and ignore the business here."

    "Let's go back to the Western Region, go back to the Western Region. Live your own good life!" Wei Feng, Zhu Wuyi and others gathered around and cried loudly to persuade.

    "Let's go, let's go. This is not our Tang Dynasty. The emperor can give it to whomever he wants, it has nothing to do with us!" Anxi veteran who had come back from thousands of miles away was also crying and advising.  .

    The cry was like a knife, piercing into the heart of the old general Guo Ziyi.  The old man's face, which usually did not change even when mountains collapsed in front of him, turned red, purple, and black. He wanted to say something, but found that he had nothing to say at all.  Sighing, he gently pulled the war horse aside.

    Li Siye, Bai Xiaode, Wang Sili, Pugu Huaien, Li Guangbi and other generals of the Tang Dynasty arrived angrily with their troops. When they saw this scene, they felt sour in their hearts.  I don’t want to ask Wang Xun anymoreThe crime of murdering allies, I just hope that this night will pass as soon as possible, as soon as possible, the sooner the better.

    "You heard it all, right? I didn't lie to you?! Considering that you didn't know about it before, I won't care about what happens tonight. Get your people out of the way quickly, I will go there in person  Count the spoils!" Prince Ye Hu of Huihe was very proud, pointing the tip of his sword forward, and graciously expressed to Wang Xun that he could forget the past.

    This kind intention did not get the "deserted" reward.  Wang Xun slowly straightened up, slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, slowly pushed away the confidant who was supporting him, then raised his head and sneered loudly: "You're talking about Li Heng? What's wrong with him?  I am qualified to sell Changan to you!"

    "You?" Not only Prince Ye Hu, but also the other Tang generals who had just arrived nearby were also stunned.  Although the Anxi Army had previously been arrogant and arrogant, they still obeyed the orders of the Tang Dynasty.  But now, Wang Xun actually called His Majesty the Emperor by his name, and his rebellious intentions were clearly revealed.

    "Chang'an is not the property of the Li family. Neither is the Tang Dynasty!" Wang Xun reached out and touched his waist, but did not touch his horizontal sword.  Turning his head, he snatched the Mo Dao from Wei Feng's hand and raised it with one hand, "Wang doesn't care who promised you or what contract you signed! This is Wang's home. If you want to kill people and set fire, you have to start with  Step over Wang’s corpse.”

    "You?" Prince Ye Hu was stunned again, and immediately wanted to order an attack.  Suddenly remembering the other party's record of destroying a country with 600 people in the Western Regions, he hesitated and turned his attention to Guo Ziyi.

    Guo Ziyi seemed not to have expected Wang Xun's reaction to be so violent. She bent down and kept coughing.  Prince Ye Hu couldn't find any help from the old fox, so he turned his attention to Li Siye, Li Guangbi and others, "Did you all hear what he just said?! He is going to rebel, rebel, didn't you hear?"

    Li Guangbi, Li Siye and others looked at each other, who did not have the courage to respond to Prince Ye Hu's words.  However, he lacked the courage to agree with Wang Xun's words just now.

    Seeing everyone's expressions in his eyes, Wang Xun grinned, his mouth full of scarlet, "Wang repeats it again, this Chang'an is not the property of the Li family. This Tang Dynasty is not the Tang Dynasty of one family.  .This is Wang’s home. Anyone who wants to kill someone and set fire to it must first step over Wang’s body.”

    After saying that, he no longer cared about the faces of anyone on the other side, raised his Mo Dao high and shouted loudly: "Anxi Army, prepare to fight!"

    ????“呜呜，呜呜呜，呜呜呜呜————”龙yin般的角声从军阵中响起，缓缓响彻整个长安。

    “Woo, woo, woo—” the Huihe people responded with angry horn blasts, and the entire team quickly gathered into an attack formation.

    "Woo, woo, woo" Ma Fang left Wang Xun's side and quickly walked towards his Shenwu Army.

    "Woo, woo, woo," Xue Jingxian raised his hands with a look of desolation on his face.

    "Woo, woo, woo -" "Woo, woo, woo" "Woo, woo, woo" Angry trumpet sounds rang out from various Tang armies, Li Guangbi, Li Siye, Bai Xiaode, Wang Sili  , Pugu Huai'en, a group of veterans and new talents, slowly pulled out the horizontal sword, hesitating, hesitating, not knowing where to point the tip of the sword!

    When the wind blows, the fire lights up the sky, the ground, a battle flag with the word "Tang" written on it, and the eyes of everyone under the flag.
