    Jiangdu, Wu Palace.  Densely dense soldiers surrounded the inside and outside of the dormitory. The civil servants and generals of Wu State stood at the foot of the steps, all of them looking anxious.  King Wu, who had been in the Jianghuai River for twenty years, had a sallow complexion and had long lost his former heroic spirit. Like every old man who was about to die, he was lying on the bed weakly. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? having passed out several times in a row until he fell into unconsciousness. Everyone understood that King Wu was about to die.  After taking the new appointment as Huainan Liu, the eldest son of the Yang family, Yang Wo, knelt down under the couch, with his head lowered and his eyes darting around. Sometimes he looked at his second brother Yang Wei, who was also kneeling next to him, and sometimes he glanced at him with his peripheral vision.  Sweep the dozen or so generals behind.  Those who can enter the dormitory at this time are all high-ranking generals of the Wu Kingdom. The attitude of these people will determine whether they can ascend to that prominent position.  Yang Wo knew that although he was appointed as the Huainan queen, it did not mean that he was the successor of the king.  Nowadays, it is different from the past. Only by obtaining the title of Prince Hongnong can one be the legitimate prince of Wu.  For Yang Wo, there is only one real threat, and that is his younger brother Yang Wei.  My father is confused. My second brother is only eight years old. How can he be the king of a country?  Among the generals behind him, Zhang Hao, the commander of the Left Ya Army, and Xu Wen, the commander of the Right Ya Army, were Yang Xingmi's confidants. Even if Yang Xingmi's body was at this stage, they were always loyal and never had second thoughts.  Yang Wo once tried to win them over to him, but failed, which made Yang Wo feel vaguely wrong.  Therefore, he transferred his confidants Li Jian, Zhou Ben, Chen Zhang and others to Jiangdu in the name of reinforcements. These three people are also kneeling behind him at this moment, and they are the arms that Yang Wo relies on most.  The dormitory has been silent for a long time, with only the occasional sound of King Wu's heart-and-lung-tearing cough coming from the bed.  I don¡¯t know how long he waited before King Wu spoke again: "Mi Zhicheng Mi Zhicheng comes forward" Jiedu judge Zhou Yin was beside Yang Xingmi.  He bowed his head and reported: "General Mi is leading the troops to defend the city. He can't get away now. If His Highness has any orders, just send him a message." Mi Zhicheng is known as a magic arrow. He has been fighting for Yang Xingmi for many years. He is now the most prestigious person in Jiangdu City.  general.  After Li Shenfu died in battle, his status among the Wu army was second only to Wang Maozhang.  Since Liu Jinhou launched a surprise attack on Jiangdu with a partial force, Mi Zhicheng hastily fought several battles with him outside the city. He lost all his troops and generals, and was completely defeated. It was not until yesterday that he led the remaining troops to retreat into the city.  With Mi Zhicheng entering the city.  The entire Wu Kingdom actually already knew that Jiangdu could not be saved, and no city wall could withstand the earth-shattering thunder!  When he heard that Mi Zhicheng had retreated into the city, King Wu's eyes darkened. Zhou Yin was heartbroken at the side, but he said comfortingly: "Your Highness is relieved. The sergeants are in high spirits and vow to ensure that Jiangdu is safe" On the bed  King Wu managed to raise his arm, waved it feebly, sighed, and said: "The situation is dangerous, there is no need to hide it from Gu anymore Gu's time has come After Yang Wo was summoned to stay" Yang Wo felt something in his heart  Tighten, immediately move your knees forward.  Then he heard Yang Xingmi say: "If you want to stay behind, you will hold Jiangdu and help General Mi defend the foundationcall Yang Wei" Yang Wei wiped his tears and crawled to Yang Xingmi, crying and shouting: "Father  " Yang Xingmi rubbed Yang Wei's face with his dry fingers for a while, and then tried to cheer up and said: "As Yang Wei is the observation envoy of Xuanzhou, we will set off for Xuanzhou today; Zhou Yin, Zhang Hao, Xu Wen and others will lead the way.  My fellow soldiers" Before he could finish his words, Yang Xingmi's mouth overflowed with blood and he passed out again. There was a panic in the dormitory.  Yang Wo looked ferocious.  Veins popped out on both palms, and the anger in his heart was hard to express.  Yang Xingmi's order was like a heavy hammer, shattering the last vestiges of his illusions.  It is said that tigers are poisonous and will not eat their children, but my father is even more ruthless than a tiger and even wants his own life!  He stood up suddenly.  He strode out of the dormitory in despair, followed by Li Jian, Zhou Ben, Chen Zhang and other generals. The remaining generals of the Wu army looked at the departing figures of Yang Wo and others with worried faces, feeling in their hearts  Mixed feelings.  After leaving the dormitory, Yang Wo rushed out without looking back. The Yajun soldiers in the palace wanted to stop them. Li Jian, Zhou Ben, Chen Zhang and others immediately raised their swords and glared at each other. Yang Wo snorted coldly.  , leading everyone to break out of the palace.  Arriving outside the palace, he faintly heard shouts of killing coming from outside the city. Li Jian asked: "Commander, what should we do now?" Yang Wo looked up at the sky and said coldly: "Gather the sergeants, let's go back to Xuanzhou  ! Whoever wants to defend Jiangdu will never defend it!" "But the sergeants are stationed on the west city. If we call them down, Jiangdu will be finished" "Foolish, if we don't leave at this time, we will be finished.  !" Yang Wo shouted sharply.  This loud shout suddenly woke up Li Jian, Zhou Ben, Chen Zhang and other generals, and they all said in unison:?Obey!  " At this moment, a shocking sound was suddenly heard from outside the north gate. Yang Wo and others followed the sound and saw large pieces of smoke rising to a height of half the sky, rolling in all directions. The situation was extremely horrifying. Yang Wo's face was earth-colored, and he murmured  He muttered: "Jiangdu is over" As the north gate of Jiangdu collapsed, the Weizhou Army in large groups, wearing iron armor, poured into the city in neat formations. In the front row and on the left and right sides were sword and shield soldiers carrying large shields on their shoulders.  Covering the armored spearmen and crossbowmen, they marched along the streets, clearing out the resisters in the city. The whole process was not fast, but it was very steady. The Weizhou Army only encountered a hurried attack when they reached outside the Wu Palace.  The resistance of more than 2,000 Wu troops was also the only battle in the entire inner city where the Wu troops fought in formation. At dusk, although many streets and lanes in the city were still in fierce competition, the Wu troops organized a large-scale battle.  However, the resistance has been completely eliminated. Weizhou Army Commander Liu Jinhou, Inspector Wen Sishuo, and Sima Laixingguo led the army headquarters into Jiangdu and arrived at the Wu Palace. The entire palace was controlled by Weizhou Army, and a large number of people were kneeling in front of the palace and tied up.  The leader of the bound Wu Guowen was a child less than ten years old, Yang Wei, the second son of King Wu Yang Xingmi, and the successor of King Wu whom Yang Xingmi preferred. Liu Jinhou and others went straight to the inner hall, where the trembling waiters and maids came.  They lay down in one piece, crying softly as the swords of Weizhou soldiers were snatched away. Dead bodies were piled high under the west steps outside the palace. It looked like they were all soldiers of Wu who died in battle. Yang Xingmi was lying on the white jade pile of Ganjin Bahe.  On the bed, half of his body was covered by a gold silk quilt. There was undried blood at the corners of his mouth, and his face was like gold paper. His left hand was weakly hanging on the side of the bed, as if he wanted to grab something Liu Jinhou seemed to be asking, and then  As if saying to himself: "Yang Xingmi?  King Wu?  "He turned around. He looked at the Weizhou soldiers in the palace, then swept away the shivering waiters and maids on the floor, and burst into laughter. They laughed very happily! Wen Sishuo and Lai Xingguo couldn't help but smile with joy.  Looking at each other, Liu Jinhou was so excited that he wiped the tears from his eyes and ordered: "Inform Sizhou that the Weizhou army has gone to Jiangdu and found the body of Wu traitor Yang Xingmi!  " Starting from the eighth day of December, a flurry of good news spread to Luoyang, and the whole east was in great joy. Zhong Shao's troops defeated the Wu army in Xuyi. Huainan general Wang Maozhang and others were all in the city! Liu Jinhou's troops succeeded in a surprise attack on Gaoyou,  The passage to Jiangdu was opened! Zhong Shao's troops captured Chuzhou, and all Chuzhou officers and soldiers surrendered! Liu Jinhou's troops captured Jiangdu, and Wu King Yang Xingmi and General Mi Zhicheng died. Yang Wei, Zhou Yin, Zhang Hao, Xu Wen and other hundreds of Wu civil and military officials  Please surrender! Zhang Yanshou's troops on the left side of the Yanzhou Army captured Shouzhou, and Dinghui's troops on the right side of the Yanzhou Army captured Hezhou. Liu Jinhou sent his troops south to seize Huzhou.  Qiantang! The Yang Group that had dominated Huainan for twenty years was suddenly destroyed. The speed of the destruction was jaw-dropping. Along with the good news, all the memorials from the courtiers had only one content - urging.  The emperor Li Zuo, who had just ascended the throne less than half a year ago, issued two decrees in succession, wanting to pass on the great treasures and the national weapons to Li Chengzhong, but Li Chengzhong's original intention was to wait for another half a year or a year before the world was settled.  He came to the throne with unparalleled achievements, so he was always hesitant. But the courtiers couldn't wait. The new Dragon Crown Crown Crown had already been prepared, and all the etiquette of the Zen Ceremony had been practiced secretly several times.  Waiting for a long time, everyone was eager for the succession of the new emperor and the arrival of the new dynasty. Just when Li Chengzhong was hesitating, another heavyweight memorial was reported to Luoyang-Nanyang Mozhou Victory!  Zhou Xiaolang, the commander of the army, and Zhao Ba, the commander of the Zhaozhou army, set up an ambush in Nanyang and defeated Zhao Kuangning's Chu army. They killed dozens of Zhao Kuangning's generals and subordinates, beheading tens of thousands, and captured the enemy. Zhao Ba then attacked with cavalry and quickly attacked and looted.  The troops in Dengzhou and Xiangzhou are heading directly towards Jingzhou. Currently, the Mozhou Army is catching up with the Zhaozhou Army and is preparing to march towards Jiangnan West Road and Lingnan Road. It is another battle to destroy the country. Such achievements will naturally be attributed to Li Chengzhong.  Li Chengzhong himself did not expect that the war would progress so smoothly. This suddenly reminded him of the liberation war in later generations. After the three major battles, the war progressed like mercury falling on the ground, and it was so similar to the current situation.  When the emperor Li Zuo's third abdication decree came down, Li Chengzhong finally stopped refusing.In the middle of the journey, he boarded the ninth-level golden palace and officially took his seat on the Dragon Collapse.  This year was changed to Guangxing, the first year of Guangxing.  In February of the first year of Guangxing, King Qian Chuan of Yue wrote to Luoyang, willing to surrender to the imperial court, and accepted the three laws of leaving the country, reorganizing the army, and ending his official career.  Li Chengzhong issued an edict to comfort him, recruiting money to Luoyang, the eastern capital, retaining the title of king, and serving in the Tang Dynasty Honors and Honors Academy.  In April, the Cangzhou Army and the Weizhou Army entered the East Road of Lingnan. Wang Shenzhi gathered troops in Fuzhou to resist. Zhong Shao and Liu Jinhou defeated Wang Shenzhi's troops. Wang Shenzhi was captured and deported to Luoyang and beheaded.  In May, Mozhou Army and Zhaozhou Army entered Lingnan West Road and surrounded Panyu. In August, Liu Yin left the city and surrendered.  In October, the Yingzhou Army and the Guizhou Army entered Shu from Hanzhong, and successively captured more than ten important places such as Jianzhou and Mianzhou, and then marched to Chengdu.  In December, Wang Jian, the king of Shu, set fire to his palace and committed suicide. The fire in the palace lasted for three days.  In April of the second year of Guangxing, the Tang army was reorganized again, reorganizing the left and right guards, the left and right Xiao guards, the left and right Wu guards, the left and right Wei guards, the left and right leading guards, the left and right Jinwu guards, the left and right prison guards, and the left and right Qianniu guards, for a total of sixteen guards.  Each guard has more than 16,000 people. It is a first-class army directly under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council. It is divided into five directions: northeast, due north, northwest, due west and southwest of the town, and is responsible for external military affairs.  In addition to the Sixteenth Guards, there are also left and right Shence Army, left and right Longwu Army, and left and right Yulin Army, each with more than 20,000 people, guarding Gyeonggi, Dongdu and Beidu. They are three major battalions, with dual internal and external responsibilities.  functions.  The Guards and Military Division is divided into the Guards Division, the Palace Front Division and the Horse Army Division. Each division has 6,000 people to guard the imperial palace.  Preparatory brigades are set up in each state, and reserve battalions are set up in each county. Each battalion has 250 people and is responsible for clearing up local areas and appeasement and public security.  In July of the second year of Guangxing, the Jinwu Guards entered Qinghai-Tibet and appointed ministers stationed in Tibet.  In September of the second year of Guangxing, the Left and Right Weiwei and the Left and Right Leading Guards entered Ganlong and destroyed the Uighurs. The army went all the way west, annihilating dozens of tribes and kingdoms, and rebuilt the Anxi Protectorate in Congling.  Since then, the Tang Dynasty has ushered in its third prosperous age, becoming a powerful force in the Western Regions.  In the fifth year of Guangxing's reign, a fleet of thirty large ships set out from Fuzhou and entered the Western Ocean.  In the ninth year of Guangxing, 30,000 Tang troops crossed Congling and appeared in Talas again.  (Complete book)
