Fu Song

Chapter 452
Gao Yingde is dead.

For the Gao Group, which is just in full swing, it is a bolt from the blue.

In other words, it was a catastrophe.

Gao Yingzhi, Sheng Hong and other core figures of the Gao Group felt as if they were mourning their wives. The feeling of imminent catastrophe was so strong that the fear of death and family extinction lingered in their hearts.

"You can't hide it!" Although Sheng Hong's official position is not high, he has always been Gao Yingde's confidant and general in the past. He is like a military adviser in the Gao Group. He was promoted to six ranks in a row, and he became a Dali senior minister. He was tied with Gao Yingzhi, who held the military power of the Gao family, with one article and one military.

Of course, it cannot be concealed, thousands of people witnessed Gao Yingde's murder with their own eyes.Gao Yingzhi asked: "Brother Sheng, what do you think should be done?"

Sheng Hong's eyes showed a fierce look: "Brother Gao, you can't hide the truth. After all, His Majesty was stabbed in front of thousands of people. The news will spread throughout Shanchan Mansion in less than a day, and then spread all over the world. , the border troops are panicked, Dong Xian and his like will definitely take the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and the centrists who were originally hesitant will attach themselves to Dong Xian. If we really want to get to this point, it will be troublesome. At this time, it is time for us to make a decisive decision and hesitate a little , that is, a catastrophe is imminent.”

"you mean"

Sheng Hong took a deep breath and said: "Brother Gao, at this time, being soft-hearted is not an option. A damned person must die, and there should be no hesitation in what should be done."

"Killing is easy to say, but..."

"Establish the second son of the late emperor as the emperor, ascend the throne before his death, and swear to put down the rebellion!" Sheng Hong said decisively.

"Yingxiang has a heavy army outside, and I'm afraid it's wrong to make Yingrui emperor!" Gao Yingzhi said in panic, "Since then, I'm afraid that internal disputes will start before the foreign enemies go away."

"Doing extraordinary things in extraordinary times. How could Yingxiang come back at this moment? As soon as he comes back, the direction of Liupanshui is in danger of collapse, and right now, there is really no delay. We can't let our people rest immediately. When you set your mind to it, how can you do things with all your heart?" Sheng Hong said: "Brother Gao, at this moment, this is the only thing left."

"Forget it, let's pass this level first and then talk about other things!" Gao Yingzhi sighed and got up and went out.

"Brother Gao, take the gold and silver belongings from the treasury, and reward the army first." Sheng Hong said.

Shanchan Mansion fell into a bloodbath.

When Gao Yingde was alive, with his years of prestige and solid achievements in Bingguo, he was able to calm everyone down and make everything run in an orderly manner.

But when he died suddenly, the remaining Gao Group had only one trick left.

That is to kill and stand up.

At the beginning, these murderous actions were carried out in an organized manner, and the targets were carefully selected, but as the killing progressed, everything began to change slowly.

The unscrupulous army gradually tasted the sweetness in the ruthless killing.

And when enough people have been killed, people's hearts will also start to go crazy.

The random indiscriminate killings began.

The whole city fell into a huge panic.

Burning, killing, looting, looting became the theme song of this city.

In Tianlong Ancient Temple, a bald monk who was a eunuch not long ago rushed into a meditation room, where the former emperor Duan Zhengxing was clasping his hands and muttering sutras.

In the Duan family, there were emperors who became monks, and there were many emperors who became monks in the past, but they were disillusioned and voluntarily became monks, while he was forced to come, so there is a clear difference.Whether the muttering is a Buddhist scripture or a curse on Gao Yingde, only he knows.

"Your Majesty, the high-ranking thief is dead, the high-ranking thief is dead!" The monk stumbled, tripped on the threshold, fell like a dog, but fell right in front of Duan Zhengxing.

"What? Gao thief is dead?" Duan Zhengxing's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe his ears: "The thief was always in good health, why did he die suddenly? By the way, it must be the ancestor's spirit that made this traitor rebellious A thief must die, hahaha! Where did you get this news from? Is it true?"

After Gao Yingde died, Duan Zhengxing suddenly felt hopeful.

"The Bai family sent people over, bribed the guards outside, and passed the news in." The monk said: "The high thief was assassinated. On the day he became the throne, he was assassinated in front of the Guangming Palace. It was two days ago."

"Did the Bai family do it?"

"It is said that it was done by the Bai family and the Dong family." The monk said: "Now the Bai family members are also fleeing in all directions, and the rebel subordinates are searching and killing them everywhere."

"The Bai family sent someone here, what do you want to do?"

"Your Majesty, people from the Bai family said that they have already contacted some people with lofty ideals, and they are ready to welcome His Majesty out. As long as His Majesty shows up and explains the whole house well, the scene will surely follow, and when the time comes to kill the thieves, it will be a flick of a finger."

"When, when?" Duan Zhengxing suddenly stood up, extremely excited.

"Just tonight! Outside the west gate, the guards there have been bribed. Your Majesty will leave the temple from there without disturbing the guards outside the temple." The monk said.

Duan Zhengxing clenched his fists vigorously, "The Bai family and the Dong family are the pillars of the country. After I restore the country, I will definitely use them again."

Third watch,

dark moon,

The night wind is high.

There is light rain.

With the support of two monks, Duan Zhengxing sneaked all the way to the west gate. Sure enough, he was not hindered at all. The usual guards were nowhere to be seen.

After arriving at the west courtyard, Duan Zhengxing excitedly quickened his pace when he saw the courtyard door was wide open and a carriage was parked there vaguely.

Freedom is at hand.

And the lost throne is also beckoning to him.

As long as he gets rid of the barriers and reappears before the eyes of the world, the Gao Group that has lost the leadership of Gao Yingde will inevitably collapse, and those loyal ministers and righteous men will also emerge to help him set things right.

He stepped out of the courtyard gate and stepped into the carriage impatiently.

At this moment, his figure froze suddenly.

A knife protruded from the carriage, and penetrated his body easily.

He held the knife firmly in both hands, and tried his best to see who was in the carriage, but the curtains of the carriage were lowered, and the people inside did not show their faces at all.

Behind him, the two monks opened their mouths wide, but before the exclamation came out, two people jumped out from behind, and the sharp knife in their hands cut their throats with ease, blood spurted out, and the two fell down with a bang. land.

The two killers jumped into the carriage, and the carriage sped away.

A moment later, a group of patrolling soldiers passed by and found the dead body on the ground.

At this moment, another group of people rushed over, and this was the real Bai family who came to welcome Duan Zhengxing.

There is nothing wrong with the matter, nor is the location wrong, what is wrong is just the timing of the response.

What Bai's people saw was Duan Zhengxing's corpse.

Gao's traitor, killing the emperor!
The news immediately spread throughout Shanchan Mansion the next day.

However, at this time, the Gao Group was full of lice and didn't itch. They didn't care about being accused of murdering the emperor at all. They were busy with the enthronement of the new emperor, and the army was busy killing people and looting money.

Therefore, when a fire broke out in a separate palace of Shanchan Mansion, Duan Zhengxing's concubine and a group of sons all died in the fire, and it did not cause any disturbance in Shanchan Mansion.

The killing continues.

At this moment, even if they were to stop, it would be impossible.

At this time, neither Sheng Hong nor Gao Yingzhi thought that the death of Duan Zhengxing and his family touched the bottom line of too many people. After the news came out, it was officially established.

With Dong Xian of Weichu Mansion as the core, Nongdong Mansion, Lanxi County, Tengchong Mansion, Xiushan County and other places formally raised troops, fighting all the way to Shanchan Mansion. Among the thirty-seven tribes, more than [-] men and horses were willing to join them. Gathering all the way to Weichu Mansion, preparing to gather under the command of Taishi Dong Xian and then go to Shanchan Mansion.

In less than a month, troops from all walks of life gathered more than [-] troops, fighting all the way to the capital, and the way was overwhelming, but within ten days, they arrived outside Shanchan's mansion.

At this time, the main force of the Gao family was still confronting the Song army on the border, and they were unable to turn around to rescue them.

Xiao Cheng has arrived at Guanling.

Here, the Tianwu Army led by Fan Yifei and the Tiannan Army led by Li Xin gathered two troops, and the enemy they faced was Shicheng County of Dali Kingdom.

Now, the two armies are facing each other, but one side is very anxious, while the other side is in a hurry. It only needs Xiao Cheng's order, and the two armies can immediately divide into two types and rush to Shicheng County. With the current chaos in Dali, Wanting to win is really as easy as flipping your palms.

But Xiao Cheng had no intention of ordering an attack at all, and even the five thousand Futai soldiers under Han Yan's command stayed in Juzhou, and did not follow Xiao Cheng to Guanling.

"Brother Luo, let me tell you the truth, what does Futai mean?" Fan Yifei grabbed Luo Xin's sleeve and did not let go. Now Luo Xin is serving as Xiao Cheng's convenient text, and he can be regarded as a first-class confidant. The key is He can accurately pry into Xiao Cheng's mind. "Not to be missed!"

"General Fan, if you ask me, you might as well ask General Li. His relationship with Futai is beyond my comparability!" Luo Xin shook his head again and again.

"Don't lie to me, I don't know anything!" Li Xin waved his hand and said: "I asked, but the young master gave me a sideways look, and I was so scared that I couldn't speak, so I ran away!"

"Don't miss this opportunity, don't miss it!" Fan Yifei said, "If we wait until the winner is determined in Dali, it will be too late."

"General Fan, I really don't know what Futai is thinking, I only know that this time Futai came to Guanling, it is said that he came here to wait for someone." Luo Dao said.

"Waiting for someone?" Fan Yifei and Li Xin were both stunned.

"That's right, wait for someone!" Xiao Cheng's voice came from the door of the house, and a few people outside stepped forward to salute in embarrassment.

"Come in, everyone!" Xiao Cheng said: "The latest news came just now. The person I'm waiting for has arrived in Shicheng. He will come to see me tomorrow at the most."

"Who is Erlang waiting for?" Li Xin asked cautiously.

"I'm waiting for Gao Yingxiang!" Xiao Cheng laughed. "See what price he can offer me this time?"

"We don't need to pay any price!" Li Xin blurted out: "What we want is his capital, so there's no way he could trade this with us!"

"If you want to take other people's money, you have to take it step by step! If you want to eat a fat man, be careful not to choke you!" Xiao Cheng poked Li Xin's forehead and teased.

Li Xin chuckled: "With Erlang at the helm, it's hard to choke me. What kind of rules is Erlang like?"

"Whether in front of us is the Dali army in Liupanshui, or Shicheng County, Huichuan Mansion, and Jianchang Mansion, they are all elite frontier troops in Dali. We can take advantage of them now if we fight with them, but we want to swallow them all at once. I'm afraid it won't be easy for them, and the loss is bound to be big, so why not let them go and fight Dong Xian and the others to the death first?"

"Futai, if these people are allowed to go back, I'm afraid Dong Xian and the others will be defeated simply. The soldiers they gathered are incomparable to these Dali frontier troops!"

"One moment is another moment!" Xiao Cheng said indifferently: "I will wait here until Dong Xian captures the Shanchan Mansion, and then I will let these Dali frontier troops leave. At that time, Dong Xian had already controlled the capital of a country." , and these Dali frontier soldiers are indeed good at fighting, but most of their family members are in the country. I don't believe that the old fox Dong Xian can't think of this, so it is doubtful how much fighting power these frontier soldiers will have left by then."

"So that's it!" Fan Yifei suddenly realized, "It's really a good thing for us that they can kill each other like this."

"But will they reconcile?"

"Reconciliation?" Li Xin said disdainfully: "General Fan, the Gao family killed the entire Dong family and more than half of the Bai family. Let’s die, tell me, how can they reconcile? This kind of bloody feud, besides killing you to the death, is there any other way to go?”

Xiao Cheng said calmly: "According to my estimation, Gao Yingxiang will definitely gain the upper hand in the early stage, but as the war lasts, he will gradually lose the wind. After all, his practice of killing the emperor and destroying his family by the Gao family will have the upper hand after it spreads. It is quite unfavorable. When he is at the end of his life, he will come back to us. At that time, it is the time for us to appear on the stage!"

"These powerful families in Dali are not dead at all. It's not easy for us to take over!" Looking at the people in the room, Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "I like to paint on a piece of white paper and recreate it. It is always easier to flick a brush than to modify the paint on the old work. So, let their arrows fly for a while! When these people are almost dead, we will make a comeback. At that time, we will bring Dali people To the peace and good life they longed for."
