19. The Xishan Army entered the government
After issuing the order, Zhang Yansheng twisted his beard and walked around in front of the mural in the hall with a sigh of relief, his steps a little restless.
He felt that his movements were already lagging behind, although the splendid rivers and mountains in Shu were good, they also had a fatal shortcoming - they were easy to defend themselves and slack.
After the emperor fled to Fengtian City, he let Duan Xiushi become famous with Gao Yue and Wei Gao, and then Gao Yue was directly promoted to the Xingyuan Shaoyin Sanzhou Regiment Training Envoy, and Wei Gao was the Jinwu Tongzheng General and Fengxingdu Regiment Training Envoy, these two directly controlled the passage of the main road between Gyeonggi and Shu, and were like two mountains between themselves and the emperor, so that I Zhang Yansheng was trapped in Shu and did nothing!
Even if the emperor now recovers the capital division and needs the wealth of my Shu land, the merits that can be transferred are still in the hands of Gao Yue, and I pay money and grain, which is equivalent to making wedding clothes for Gao Yue.
There is also my eldest son-in-law Wei Gao, when I treated him meanly, he will inevitably take revenge and embarrass me.
So this made Zhang Yansheng very resentful and distressed, he asked Zheng Qi to go to Fengtian City before, and he had to be a bachelor of Hanlin, just hoping to bury his eyes, this time he was determined not to wait, and directly led the army to King Qin.
But at this moment, there was a sudden loud noise outside the mansion, as if it was the noise of people and horses, and it rushed in, startling Zhang Yansheng to open his mouth wide, and hurriedly asked what was going on.
After a while, the shouts of killing became more and more intense, mixed with the sound of flames.
Several Yu Marquis ran in and shouted, "Xishan Army Rebellion!" ”
The whole palace suddenly exploded, and Zhang Yan's well-raised tooth soldiers were passing through the courtyard and the winding corridor to assemble in front of the mansion gate, while the other clerks and clerks were frightened and inexplicable, running everywhere, and some people had already set up ladders and began to climb over the wall.
"Don't panic." Zhang Yansheng said in a deep voice, asking these Yu Hou to go out to find out the exact news.
Before the words landed, two more Yu Marquis ran to the courtyard of the government and reported to Zhang Yansheng in a trembling voice: "Under the festival, the Xishan army is in chaos and is besieging the Xuanming Tower at the West Gate!" ”
Xuanming Tower, the largest city gate watchtower in Shudu City, is also the largest fortification connecting Taicheng and Shaocheng, because there is no city wall separation between Taicheng and Shaocheng, so as long as Xuanming Tower is broken, the enemy army can drive straight into the Taicheng of Shudu.
"Who is the leader of the rebellion?"
"Xishan's main and deputy soldiers and horses envoys Han Tan and Zhang Hao!"
"How do I get into the city?"
"Isn't it a festival decree to let them enter the Shaocheng?"
"Alas!" Zhang Yansheng regretted it inexplicably, paused again and again, and then waved his hand and shouted, "Quick, go and call the barbarians to come and protect the city." ”
But at this time, his son Zhang Hongjing ran in a hurry, and even called 10,000 barbarian soldiers to be instigated, roaring in rebellion, and was attacking the Jiangqiao Gate and Shiqiao Gate of Jinguancheng in the south of the city, setting fire everywhere, and looting the market houses.
"Cui Ning buried good poisonous fangs!" Zhang Yansheng scolded.
After he came to Shudu City, although he finally drove Cui Kuan away and asked the other party to go to Hunan as an observer, he could not move the Xishan army. Before going out to the army this time, Zhang Yansheng also deliberately gave the Xishan Army two yuan per person, but this group of people ostensibly agreed to come to the capital of Shu to chase the collection, but now in the blink of an eye, they rebelled under the instigation of Han Tan and Zhang Hao.
In front of the Xuanming Building, the killing sound was loud, the soldiers of the West Mountain were all wiped red, shouting "Kill Zhang Yan Reward", and launched countless fire arrows at the building, and there were more dead soldiers jumping forward, holding the long pole cut down from the peaks of the West Mountain, this kind of bamboo pole is enough to have the thickness of an arm, the ordinary blade is cut at all, several people hold it together, the rod head is sharpened, wrapped in linen, fire oil, explosives, bang bang bang continues to explode out of terrifying fireworks.
One after another bamboo poles, pierced into the floor of the Xuanming Building, several eaves were on fire, the fire became more and more intense, and the smoke was so thick that the military soldiers inside could not bear it, and they ran out of the building one after another, and fled to Taicheng.
After nightfall, after the Xuanming Tower struggled in the huge flames, it overlapped one by one, and completely collapsed, and the Xishan Army was divided into several groups, turned over the hill heights on all sides of its building, and began to rush into the Taicheng.
The people and wealthy families in the entire Shu capital city all closed their doors, frightened and begged for the blessing of the Buddha and the Taoist.
Two hours later, the gate of the military palace of the Xichuan Jiedu envoy was breached, and Han Tan and Zhang Yan walked into it with knives, "Where is Zhang Yansheng?" ”
In the screams, the camp prostitutes in the mansion were escorted out first, and Han Tan asked Zhang Yansheng where he went.
"Slightly not afraid, slightly not afraid......" Among them, the pipa prostitute Gao slightly stared at the big eyes that did not fall, and under the intertwined blades and tips, she trembled and frightened like a small beast, and the camp prostitute Xiaochun next to her held her shoulders and constantly comforted her.
In front of them, there were all soldiers like tigers and wolves.
At this moment, a little spring snow fell in the night sky, and the snowflakes swept onto the soldiers' sharp torches, and suddenly turned into water vapor and disappeared.
At the same time, Xishan Jun also got Zhang Yansheng's youngest daughter, Bi Sheng.
However, Han Tan and Zhang Yan, who had a tacit understanding beforehand, did not make a mistake, they just sent soldiers to guard Bisheng's attic, "Silence, naturally I will send you to reunite with your husband." ”
Bi Sheng's face turned pale, hugged his knees, and squatted on the bed.
She didn't dare to say anything, she knew that the rebels were doing her so much favor now.
The interrogation in the courtyard of the military government was still going on, and as a result, some camp prostitutes said that Zhang Yansheng ran away from the "Xianmen" at the east gate of the north of the city, and the direction was Hanzhou, where Lutoushu was located.
Some people also say that Zhang Yansheng went due east and fled to Jianzhou.
"Zhang Yansheng is not so stupid, he knows that the guard on the deer head has long been placed in the Shence camp, and the guard and capture Wang Shengluan is also with us. He must have fled to Jianzhou, where there are his troops, and I will lead the cavalry to chase him! Han Tan shouted.
At dawn, Han Tan really took five hundred elite horsemen and went straight to Jianzhou.
At the same time, the beacon in the Shudu City lit the wolf smoke torch, and Wang Shengluan in the Lutou Mountain Gate was extremely excited when he saw this signal, "The Shudu City is back in our hands!" ”
The soldiers in the fence shouted wildly and excitedly, holding torches, riding on the Dian horses that flew as fast as meteors, and began to search for the road between Shudu and Lutoushu, and by the way, they could take advantage of the chaos to plunder.
But Han Tan guessed wrong, Zhang Yansheng father and son, together with a cadre of generals and staff, abandoned their troops and rode more than ten horses, neither went to Jianzhou, nor went to Hanzhou, Zhang Yansheng understood that it was a death to go to these two places - he entered the territory of Zizhou along the Tongshou Mountain at the junction of Jianzhou, Hanzhou and Zizhou.
Tongshou Mountain, is the place where Deng Tong of the Western Han Dynasty cast Shu money, now it has long been barren, Zhang Yansheng, Zhang Hongjing father and son fell off the horse several times on the way, and finally when they arrived at Gelang Mountain, they encountered the garrison of the Dongchuan soldiers, and they were temporarily rescued.
Zhang Yansheng, who escaped death, couldn't help but hug his son and cry, so he asked this group of Dongchuan soldiers, where is your marshal Wu Mian?
The reply I got was in Zitong City.
Zhang Yansheng was a little calm, and he was ready to rely on the Dongchuan soldiers to recapture the capital of Shu.
