Turbulent Times Chapter 1656: Whoever dares to block the way will be killed without mercy
Horse hoof urgent!
On Suzaku Long Street, the sound of horse hooves came from far away on the long street, and then I saw groups of cavalry with bright armor driving straight in. Speed through at a slow speed!
This is a light cavalry. The cavalry did not have long weapons such as lances on their saddles, but the sabers in their hands were shining, and the people in Chang'an City along the way still couldn't open their eyes. It is the most terrifying existence. Unlike the army of later generations who are subject to discipline, they are often bullied by some garbage.
Riding at the forefront of this cavalry team is the son-in-law of Tang Wang Li Yuan, Chai Shao who was originally ranked among the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion in history.
According to the original historical records, Chai Shao was a chivalrous hero, agile and brave.
At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, Zuo Qianniu prepared himself to protect Prince Yuande and married Princess Pingyang, the daughter of Tang Guogong Li Yuan.
Li Yuan's father and son rebelled in Taiyuan and rebelled against them. After they proclaimed themselves kings, Chai Shao led the horse army and was canonized as Doctor You Guanglu and Duke of Linfen County.
In the original history, in the early years of Wude after Li Yuanli ascended the throne, Chai Shao paid homage to General Zuo Yiwei.
Afterwards, he followed Qin Wang Li Shimin to pacify the Quartet, made many meritorious deeds, and became Huo Guogong.
In the early years of Zhenguan, he paid homage to the General of the Right Guard, repeatedly defeated the Turks, and moved to the General of the Left Guard and the governor of Huazhou.
Later, he participated in the Battle of Dingxiang, from destroying the East Turks, to the general of the town army and the general of You Xiaowei. Participated in the pacification of Liang Shidu, changed his title to Qiao Guogong, and was listed as one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.
Such a character lost to Luo Shixin some time ago, not to say that he is really worse than Luo Shixin, but Luo Shixin was lucky, met Wang Junlin, and worshiped Nie Xiaoyu as his teacher, maybe Chai Shaoruo earlier The people who met Wang Junlin and became Wang Junlin, their current achievements and abilities will never be inferior to Luo Shixin, and even in some respects they are much better than Luo Shixin.
In fact, thinking about it the other way around, from Li Yuan's point of view, how can such a person be an ordinary person who can be his son-in-law, and now he is entrusted with important tasks by Li Yuan and Li Shimin.
At this time, the young general who was not yet thirty years old had a serious face. When the horse galloped, the wind blew his hair, and the thinning drizzle had already wet his armor, and his legs Hold the horse's belly tightly, and raise the whip vigorously!
In any case, there must be no slightest difference in what happened tonight. It's just that a lot of people need to be killed tonight. Do things beautifully and don't knock yourself out when the time comes.
Thinking of this possibility, Chai Shao frowned. When the cavalry team rushed to a wide intersection in Chang'an City, he ordered the team to stop.
Chai Shao took a deep breath, threw away the distracting thoughts in his mind, and quickly began to give orders.
"Huang Sanyu, you lead your men to block the four main gates of Chang'an City and take over the defense on the city wall! From now on, no one is allowed to enter or leave the city gates. Jump up and down!"
"The last general obeys." A military general in his thirties came out, respectfully agreed, and led his troops away quickly.
Chai Shao ignored Huang Sanyu and continued to order: "Zhou Qigong! You lead your men and horses to be in charge of martial law in all blocks within three miles of the imperial city except Zhuque Street, and set up military restricted areas. From now on, there will be no Anyone can come in or out."
A military general in his forties with a dark complexion rode out expressionlessly and asked calmly: "General, what if someone forcibly breaks through the barrier?"
Chai Shao sneered and said: "Except for holding my token, other people will not be forgiven if they try to force their way in."
"The general will follow orders." Zhou Qigong promised to quickly summon his subordinates to deploy defenses and set up restricted areas.
Chai Shao looked at another general behind him, and ordered: "Liu Dehu, you lead the people under your command to be in charge of Zhuque Street. This street is full of officials' homes and wealthy families. I would have only brought people here. Patrol back and forth on the street to make sure nothing goes wrong! It’s still the same sentence, if there is any trouble, if someone dares to trespass or try to make trouble, you just let go and kill! Understand?”
"The general knows what to do." Liu Dehu promised to take the troops away quickly.
"Okay, the remaining 10,000 people will follow this general. Tonight we will start a massacre, but this general can assure you that the people killed tonight are the ones who should be killed. If you make great achievements, the rewards afterwards will also make you enjoy the glory and wealth of the rest of your body." Chai Shao said with a smile, his voice was low, and there was no fierce yelling, in fact, only a few generals around him could hear it.
Although the three generals Chai Shao sent out just now trust him, relatively speaking, the few generals next to him are Chai Shao's most trusted confidantes.
At this time, these few people were all shocked when they heard the words. Today, they first went to the city to change their defenses, and then their general made such an arrangement just now. I have a vague guess that such a big change is clearly about to happen, but they are all Chai Shao's real confidantes, and even if they rebel against him at this time, they will not hesitate too much.
What's more, their general is the son-in-law of King Tang, and has always been trusted by His Royal Highness, so they guessed that their general must be acting under the order of King Tang, and they killed those who are usually high-ranking families. It should be killed.
Thinking about it this way, everyone became excited.
Since it is what the King of Tang is going to do, everyone can just feel at ease as the sharp steel knife in the hands of the King of Tang!
Anyway, everyone is the army of His Royal Highness Tang, isn't it!
Now in Chang'an City, although Tang Wang is not yet the emperor, he is no different from the emperor.
Since it is what the King of Tang wants to do, it must be right. It is only natural for us to serve the King of Tang as a general, and it is not treason, and there will be psychological counseling and pressure.
As for just killing some people from aristocratic families, why is Chang'an city under martial law tonight, why is it necessary to take over the city defense, and even kill people tonight?
These generals can also figure it out. After all, the power of the powerful family is huge. Since they want to use the knife, they must be fully prepared, just in case.
Chai Shao led 10,000 cavalry towards the imperial palace, when suddenly a chaotic scene appeared in front of them, blocking their way forward.
The people ran around, many houses were ablaze, and a group of thieves cut down anyone they saw on the street in the distance.
Seeing this scene, Chai Shao's face became ugly.
Chai Shao absolutely does not believe that the scene in front of him is a coincidence. Although Chang'an City may not be as safe as the Fanyang County of the Far East Army, it is Li Yuan's headquarters after all. When did the public security become so bad.
What's more, they led 10,000 cavalry to rush forward here
Even if the thief who came out to make trouble is a fool, he would not go to their way to make trouble. This is simply courting death, okay?
At this moment, Chai Shao thought a lot, and the final judgment made his heart sink.
Someone noticed what they were going to do tonight, so they arranged for people to deliberately make trouble, trying to use these people running around to block their way, so as to buy time and cause some kind of change in the palace?
Of course, there may be other purposes as well.
Thinking of this, Chai Shao's face became more and more ugly, and the killing intent in his eyes was already overwhelming
The entire street in front of me has been tossed into a turmoil. A group of thieves shouted chaotic slogans, holding various weapons in their hands, and stormed the nearby shops and houses, including some noble houses.
In addition to smashing and looting, these people also threatened many street gangsters and gang members who didn't know the truth.
Even when the situation develops to a certain level, without waiting for these people to coerce, some bad-minded people will take the initiative to take the scene in front of them as a good opportunity to make a fortune, and take the initiative to mix in the crowd and take advantage of the fire to rob.
Of course, there are also some people who take the opportunity to avenge their grievances and retaliate against their grievances. The women they are usually attracted to can't afford, dare not, or can't. .
In short, in a very short period of time, the troublemaker has changed from a hundred to as many as a thousand.
For a while, when the fear spread in this block, all the people started to run for their lives, so the scene in front of them appeared—the whole street was blocked by the chaotic crowd, and the firewood was sealed. Shao led ten thousand cavalry forward.
In short, this block has become a mess!
In the entire block, people jumped over walls and smashed doors everywhere, people set fires everywhere, and some thieves took advantage of the chaos to rush into the houses of rich and noble families and **** those maidservants.
Crying, scolding and shouting were everywhere, and as many as a dozen defenses were in flames. The streets are full of thieves armed with various weapons to make troubles.
Originally, there was a city defense army in Chang'an City, and they had a set of measures to prevent and deal with riots.
But at this time, the city army who was familiar with the defense of the city was transferred out of the city, and those who entered the city were Chai Shao's troops who were not familiar with the defense of the city and were not focused on defense in the city.
So, after these things happened, there were no official armed forces to stop them for a while, until they completely blocked the way forward for Chai Shao to lead 10,000 cavalry.
Tonight is destined to be a chaotic and stormy night in Chang'an City!
………
………
In the wind and rain, facing the crowded street, even if the cavalry shouted and shouted as hard as they could, and even waved their whips to drive them away, it was difficult for them to pass through the crowded long street, because everyone was running for their lives, real and invisible The panic has filled the hearts of every citizen in this block.
In the face of dense crowds, cavalry can't pick up their sabers and hack their way.
The guards and confidants around Chai Shao have already seen that General Chai Shao's face is getting worse and worse.
"General! Our people can't get through, what should we do!" The general who opened the way ahead came to report.
Chai Shao's eyes narrowed into a line, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. There was a moment of hesitation in his eyes, but in the end it turned into a decisive and indifferent voice. Queue! Anyone who dares to stand in the way... Kill without mercy!"
