6. Slaughter and Rebellion

On the city wall, behind the wooden fence, the Tang army holding muskets and crossbows were watched by the Tang army, who had not been in office for seven years, as well as all the families of women and children, lined up in a long line to emerge from the narrow Feixiang city gate.

"A Father, A Father."

"Husband."

There were as many as 700 rebels who were still sitting cross-legged in the city, who had served for seven or more years, including dozens of military academies. They looked up at the tall female wall, the muzzles and faces of the officers behind the wall, and then they understood what fate they would face immediately.

But their children and wives are reluctant to leave, so they are full of separation from life and death.

"Let's go, go quickly, don't collect our bodies and bury our bones immediately, and don't mention us from now on. If you die of rebellion, you will be digging a tomb and erecting a monument." They shouted at the top of their lungs, and pushed their families out of the safe city.

"Hurry up!" Although Hun Yen couldn't bear it, he could only wave his hand and let their family leave the city as soon as possible.

Three days later, on the Leren dike where the old city of Qingzhang was located, more than 700 rebels were kneeling on it, with their hands and necks tied up with ropes. The whole scene was not yelling or crying, only despair and regret.

They were not allowed to go west, but kneeled towards the emperor of Chang'an City, but were ordered to go east and kneeled towards the direction of Daming Mansion in Weizhou.

After the kneeling rebels, the officers and soldiers who were executed were standing full of the beheadings. Behind each of the rebels' backbones, a bright iron knife was poked out.

Looking into the sky, the clear frost at dawn was flying, some stuck to the face of the tortured person, and some brushed against the sharp blade.

"You were originally a hero of the court, but you used the power to make trouble and tried your best to be honest. You didn't know that the army was the emperor's army, and the prefectures and counties were the prefectures and counties of the court. You should take your own death, so don't complain."

In the old city, the new governor of Mingzhou was Xiahou Zhongxuan. He also understood that the purpose of the court asking him to come here was to use this to demonstrate to Wei Bo Town, and to have the Ming, Xing and Ci provinces forever and completely cut off their relationship with Zhao Yijun.

After that, I, Xiahou Zhongxuan, was no longer an old subordinate of the Zhaoyi Army. I was killed by all the backbone of the Shandong faction of the Zhaoyi Army who was in charge. I would only be the governor of the court and pacify the land for the court.

Thinking of this, Xiahou Zhongxuan could not think about anything more. He raised his hand and waved it decisively.

Hundreds of blades then slashed down, and heads jumped on the dam of the Le Rendi, and then rolled into the large swath of mud below it. The entire embankment formed a blood mist that was two miles long. The bodies of the rebels who were executed were pushed down the dam. The entire Qingzhang Dao were filled with people's heads and corpses, which was terrible.

The past of Xiahou Zhongxuan was cut off together with his head.

After beheading all the rebels' backbones, Niu Yi, the Fenghua Army's military supervisor, received the Deyin imperial edict, not only praised the meritorious officers and soldiers for the court, but also announced that the people and households in the Ming, Xing and Ci states would all be exempted from taxes for one year and each was safe.

In the Daming Prefecture Army, Tian Xu, who was playing in boredom and resentment, heard the fall of Feixiangcheng and the killing of the Le Rendi, secretly used his strength to squeak the round chess pieces, and his whole face was distorted. On the Qingzhang embankment, the group of rebels were killed in the direction of Wei Bo. This was the naked intimidation of Wei Bo from the court.

At this point, he understood a little why Tian Yue, who was killed by him, had to fight against Chang'an for the rest of his life.

Chang'an and Wei Bo, no matter what method they use, they will definitely not coexist.

If you want to hold Wei Bo's position firmly, you have to work with Chang'an to the end!

But now is not the time, and he has to send envoys first to show his "compassion" to the emperor.

However, the court also had the same strategy for Wei Bo:

Yuanyi's daughter, twelve-year-old Yuanyun, had a sad tears on her eyes, but she was wearing a gorgeous tunic dress and a hairpin on her hair. She sat on a small flower carriage with cavalry guarding her on both sides. She passed through the empty land of Qingzhang and slowly headed towards Daming Mansion in Weizhou.

After all, she was still Tian Ji'an's wife who had not passed by, so the official army sent her to Wei Bo to get married, instead of sending her to Goujiling to behead her or incarnated into the palace as a slave.

Through the curtain, Yuan Yun saw the dead bodies in the vast land of the rivers, and couldn't help but swallow their voices and cry even more violently.

She remembered her father who was sent to the capital by armed forces...

In the Orchid Courtyard of Daming Mansion, the returned general Wei Bo, Nie Feng, heard the crying of his wife and servants, and his soul was about to fly away. His heart skipped a beat and instinctively thought, "Is it possible that my daughter Aluo has happened?"

Sure enough, when his wife saw him, she sobbed and told him that Aro was taken away by a nun at home.

"How could you be taken away at home!" Nie Feng was angry and puzzled. How did you take care of my daughter as a mother?

My wife said, "As soon as you went to Qingzhang, a nun appeared outside the house. She said she fell in love with my Ala and wanted to take her away. At that time, I thought the nun was a lunatic, so I asked the servant to drive her out, but the nun smiled and said it was useless. If I like your daughter, I will definitely take her away. If I don't believe it, I will know that night."

The scared wife locked Alu in the iron cabinet of her bedroom at home, leaving only a gap to deliver food and water. She also took turns to take care of her with several servants.

However, the next day, she woke up in a daze and found that the servant was lying all over the floor, the locks and chains on the iron cabinet were scattered, and the door was wide open. Aro had long disappeared, leaving only a silk strip with the words "five years" written on it.

Nie Feng was holding the silk strip and sat dejectedly on the ground.

The rebellion launched by Sima Yuanyi of Zhaoyi's army in Mingzhou was extremely resolute and severely suppressed the Tang family court led by Gao Yue. It was declared pacified in just over fifty days. Seven hundred rebels were executed, and the rest were all cut into other troops.

Because of Gao Yue's decisive behavior, the cost of suppressing the rebellion this time was actually very small, and the total military expenditure was only 1.1 million chunks, and the imperial court was given three states and guarded by the Shen Ce Army. The emperor was very satisfied with this.

In the East Hall of the Golden Palace of the Daming Palace, Gao Yue came to fulfill his original promise and told the emperor who was sitting on the rope bed that the rebellion has ended. I would like to return the power of the three departments of the Du Branch, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Salt and Iron Transportation.

"Gaolang, will this time be just an introduction to Yuanyi?" the emperor then asked.

"It depends on how His Majesty thinks." Gao Yue replied.

Hearing Gao Yue's words, the emperor immediately realized that he immediately stood up from the rope bed. Although his voice was low, his attitude was very firm. "I still want to put down the rebellion Fangzhen, and the Holy Lord is arbitrary."

"However, the imperial court always has an edict, and he wants to travel thousands of miles, but when he reaches the door, he will rebel." Gao Yue raised a very realistic question, that is, under the current situation, the government orders cannot be exported to the Daming Palace.

"I will be responsible for orders in the future, and Gao Lang will be responsible for the action. Although it is difficult, please do your best." The emperor said that the world is in the world, and we should join forces. From now on, I will never doubt you.
