Chapter 1615 Gao Yong: The Gao family... revolted against Jia Ni. They are full of loyal people!
The first year of Jianxing, September 13th
The Third Liao Duke Xie Zaiyi of the Han Dynasty, with the support of Sichuan chieftain generals, broke into Jianmen Pass and put down the Bashu rebellion.
In this battle, the brothers of the Gao family died, and King Chen Ran of Wei died in the rebellion.
With the defeat of Jianmen Pass, except for Gao Yong's 20,000 Shu troops heading to Chengdu, and Liang Wang Chen Wei escaping from Jianmen Pass, the chaos in Shu was basically put down.
Xie Zaiyi quickly entered the Guan Yamen. At this moment, the night was falling, and lanterns were hung on the eaves of the corridor. The lights were blurred, reflecting the jade steps of the corridor eaves, creating a cold light and shadow.
Xie Zaiyi sat behind a lacquered wooden table and said, "Have the casualties of each department been counted?"
"Master Hui Guo, we have already done the counting." At this moment, a tall and broad-mouthed soldier came forward and said.
Xie Zaiyi raised his sword eyebrows, his eyes flickered, and he said loudly: "We sent people to hunt down Chen Wei, but did Wei King Chen Ran's body get restrained?"
The general looked solemn, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, the body has been collected and put into a coffin."
Xie Zaiyi nodded and said in a deep voice: "Chen Ran is a nobleman of Tianhuang after all. Although he has committed the crime of treason, the materials used for the coffin should not be taken lightly."
When the general heard this, his face became solemn and he raised his hands.
Xie Zaiyi's face paused slightly, and he told the clerk on the side: "Come, prepare pen and ink, I will write a report of success to the court."
The Jianmen Pass was broken, both Gao brothers died, Chen Yuan was captured alive, King Wei died in the rebellion, King Liang fled, and the chaos in Shu was completely put down.
However, it will still take some time to deal with the aftermath. The Gao family has been in charge of Sichuan for twenty years, and the local party members and influence should be gradually eliminated for the imperial court's future plans in Fuchuan.
In addition, there are Sichuan chieftains and generals. These people's rebellion against the Gao family is said to be meritorious and must not be unrewarded. However, the subsequent reform of the country is a national policy for the long-term stability of the southwestern frontier.
With this thought in mind, Xie Zaiyi sat down behind the bill and began to write.
…
…
Just when Xie Zaiyi recaptured Jianmen Pass, Chen Wei, accompanied by dozens of Shu Army primary school retinues, fled along the Jinniu Road toward Chengdu.
At this moment, the moon is high in the sky, and the moonlight in early autumn is somewhat cold and glistening. In the extremely cold wind, the trees are swaying continuously, with an endless sense of desolation.
The general beside Chen Wei said to King Liang who was riding bumpily in the saddle: "Your Highness King Liang, our brothers have been running away all night. We are tired and tired, so we have to rest."
Chen Wei was in a sad mood, so he responded and got off the horse.
At this moment, the surrounding Shu army officers and soldiers also got off their horses one after another, fell to the ground in exhaustion, took off their feather helmets, and the sides of their cheeks were covered with beads of sweat the size of soybeans.
Although it was early autumn, I was still in a hurry and sweating profusely as I fled all the way here.
Chen Wei's eyes were blank, and his face was filled with sadness.
Not far away, the generals and soldiers of the Shu army stared at Chen Wei, with a hint of evil in their eyes, and several generals began to talk among themselves.
Chen Wei is currently immersed in the grief of his brother's death and still knows nothing about it.
At this moment, Liang Wang Chen Wei suddenly looked at the Shu army generals and soldiers who were surrounding him. He was shocked and asked hesitantly: "What are you going to do?"
"Your Majesty, we were deceived by the Gao family into doing things that were against the imperial court. Now we have a family that is difficult to return to. Your Majesty, please take pity on us and use him as a promotion to the imperial court to absolve us of our sins.
." At this time, one of the middle-aged generals looked at Liang Wang Chen Wei and said.
Seeing this, Chen Wei couldn't help but have an inexplicable fear in his eyes under his thick eyebrows that were as clear as cold front, and he shouted: "What are you going to do?"
No matter how much psychological construction of generosity and sacrifice has been done before, when faced with a life or death crisis, people always have instinctive fear.
At this moment, several generals looked at each other and shouted: "Come here, tie him up!"
Immediately, several generals stepped forward to tie Chen Wei up, and held the Liang King's shoulders tightly to prevent him from moving.
Liang Wang Chen Wei was stunned for a moment, but did not struggle. His face was unexpectedly calm.
The sergeants from all directions swarmed forward and immediately held down Chen Wei's arms, looking for ropes to tie up Liang Wang Chen Wei.
Chen Wei closed his eyes slightly, but at this moment, he had a calmness that was inconsistent with his usual violent temperament.
In other words, there is no greater sorrow than death.
The next day, a line of white fish belly appeared in the eastern sky, and a large number of Shu army generals escorted Chen Wei to surrender to the Han army in Beijing who was chasing Chen Wei.
At noon, when the sun was about three o'clock in the morning, Xie Zaiyi, who was in charge of the aftermath at Jianmen Pass, received news from the front line.
Xie Zaiyi was giving instructions to the generals at the moment, preparing to send troops and horses to advance towards Chengdu Prefecture, and then he and Jia Yun of Chengdu Prefecture attacked the Shu army.
Xie Zaiyi put down the military book in his hand, raised his eyes and asked: "Did King Liang capture him?"
"Liao Guogong, we have been captured." At this moment, the general on the side said.
Xie Zaiyi looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Haosheng will be under guard and escorted to the capital."
When all the generals present heard this, they all agreed.
Xie Zaiyi was silent for a moment, looked at one of the generals, and said in a deep voice: "Captain Zhao, you will be stationed at Jianmen Pass, and I will lead the force to Chengdu Mansion to suppress the Gao family rebels."
When the commander of the Guyong camp, surnamed Zhao, heard this, his face became solemn and he clasped his fists in agreement.
After Xie Zaiyi finished speaking, he began to summon the generals of the Beijing camp and prepared to go to Chengdu Fucheng to meet them.
…
…
Chengdu Prefecture, government office——
Jia Yun was now sitting behind a lacquered wood desk, flipping through a blue book, and observing the military preparedness in Chengdu Mansion.
As time passed, the situation in Chengdu's capital city gradually stabilized, or in other words, the imperial court's authority was re-established.
Not long ago, Jia Yun integrated the original Shu generals and high schools, and together with the 5,000 Beijing troops and horses he led, there were nearly 20,000 people to guard the capital city of Chengdu.
And this number of troops is almost the same as the number of troops under Gao Yong who was leading his army back to attack Chengdu.
But because the defenders had the advantage, it was not easy for Gao Yong to recapture the city of Chengdu.
"General, flying pigeons pass the message." At this time, a palace guard wearing a flying fish suit, holding an embroidered spring knife, entered the hall from the outside and raised his eyes to look at Jia Yun.
Jia Yun's face was solemn, her eyes were burning, and she said in a deep voice: "Read it."
At this moment, the Jinyi palace guard said: "General Jia, the Duke of Liao has captured Jianmen Pass, the brothers of the Gao family have died in the battle, and the King of Wei has died in the rebellion."
Jia Yun was surprised and said, "Is the sword gate broken?"
The Jinyi Mansion Guardsman said: "It's in the city that was conquered yesterday."
A look of thought appeared on Jia Yun's face, and she said in a deep voice: "Spread this news to the capital of Chengdu."
Five thousand soldiers and horses were used to control the entire Chengdu city. Although the court's victory in quelling the Shu rebellion had been initially established, Jia Yun was still a little worried.
Because there were too few troops to lead the army to control the Chengdu Prefecture this time, only 5,000. It was all supported by Jia Yun's use of the court's prestige these days, plus the fact that he had conquered the Chengdu Prefecture.
When Gao Yong led 20,000 troops to attack the city, Jia Yun became even more worried.
But it is different now. The Jianmen Pass has been broken and the Gao family brothers are dead. So now I am afraid that the Shu army that is attacking the Chengdu Mansion outside the city will no longer listen to the orders of the Gao family, so they will fight back and return to the embrace of the imperial court.
This is momentum!
Jia Yun pondered for a moment, then said with high spirits: "Wait a while, spread the news outside the city, and ask the Shu soldiers outside the city to surrender. As long as they surrender, except for the Gao family, the court will severely punish them, and the rest will not be asked! Everything
For those who present the head of a third-year high school master, the imperial court will not hesitate to promote him to a higher rank!"
"Yes." The general of the Jinyi Mansion responded with his hands raised, then turned and left.
Jia Yun got up and paced back and forth in the hall, her majestic face showing a happy look.
Once the Jianmen Pass was broken, the rebellion in Shu was completely put down, and it was almost certain that it could be settled in several other places in Sichuan.
After returning to Beijing, he will be rewarded based on his merits. He should be the first to achieve this!
Among the camps ten miles outside Chengdu Fucheng——
In the commander's tent, Gao Yong was dressed in chain mail and without a helmet on his head, looking at the map hanging in a daze.
He has led the army to the outside of Chengdu Fucheng for three days. However, the army is surrounded outside Chengdu Fucheng. At this moment, there is no progress.
As time passed, there were also some undercurrents surging among the Shu army generals.
At this time, Colonel Yan Zhen, a close confidant of the Gao family, came closer and reminded: "Third Young Master, in two days, the dry food carried by the sergeants will be used up."
Gao Yong asked: "What about the transportation of grain and fodder in the direction of Jianmenguan? In addition, have the prefectures and counties along the road provided grain and fodder as usual?"
"Third Young Master, the prefectures and counties along the way are saying that there is no grain stored in the treasury." Yan Zhen said with a bad look on his face.
Gao Yong said angrily: "These idiots!"
He must have seen his Gao family lose power and began to want to rule the court anyway. It is really unreasonable!
"Third Young Master, the wind direction in the camp has been a bit wrong recently. Several guerrillas from the Yongwei Camp were in the barracks of Xishan yesterday. They were discussing something in private. It didn't look like a good thing." Yan Zhen said worriedly.
Gao Yong's face was as calm as water, and he said: "Let people keep an eye on it. In the past two days, we can speed up the attack on the city and capture the capital of Chengdu."
After thinking for a while, Gao Yong said in a deep voice: "I have given you my general order. As long as you capture the city of Chengdu, each of the soldiers will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver. The generals and schools will each have corresponding rewards. I hope that all the generals will fight to the death for our elders in Sichuan."
!”
At this time, we can no longer feel sorry for the money, otherwise, these generals may betray them.
Yan Zhen nodded, followed the order and strode away.
Gao Yong stood up and paced back and forth. Compared to Jia Yun's briskness, his face showed anxiety.
If Chengdu Mansion cannot be captured, I am afraid that Jianmen Pass cannot be defended either, because as time goes by, the morale of the generals will be low, and they may switch sides and surrender to the imperial court.
At this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside the military tent, and then Yan Zhen quickly ran into the military tent, with a fearful look on his face, and said: "Third Young Master, something serious has happened."
Gao Yong frowned, feeling a bad feeling in his heart, and asked quickly: "What's wrong?"
Yan Zhen said: "Third Young Master, people from the imperial court are saying outside the camp that Jianmen Pass has been breached, the eldest young master and the second young master were killed in battle, and the imperial troops will reach Chengdu in the next two days."
When Gao Yong heard this, there was a "buzz" in his mind, his face turned pale, and there was worry in his eyes, and he said, "What's going on?"
The eldest brother and the second brother...are already dead?
Gao Yong's heart was shaken, his face turned earth-colored, and he felt a huge surge of grief in his heart.
Yan Zhen looked slumped and said dejectedly: "Third Young Master, the sword gate is broken. It's over. Everything is over."
Gao Yong's heart sank to the bottom at this moment, and he began to think about what would happen next.
Once the Jianmen Pass is broken, it basically declares that Bashu has been completely pacified by the imperial court.
Yan Zhen was silent for a moment, then reminded him and said: "The sergeants are discussing this matter. Third Young Master, I am afraid that there will be a mutiny among the generals in the camp."
Gao Yong said desperately: "It can't be stopped now."
Yan Zhen said anxiously: "Young Master, the situation is over and nothing can be done. I am humble enough to escort you to escape."
"The world is so big that it is the land of the imperial court. Where else can I escape?" Gao Yong said sadly, feeling a sense of sadness in his heart.
In order to help the Han Dynasty, the Gao family rebelled against Jia Ni. They can be said to be loyal and loyal!
Yan Zhen raised his eyebrows and stared at Gao Yong, feeling somewhat silent for a moment.
After this incident, the Gao family was completely finished.
Gao Yong hesitated for a moment, then finally made up his mind and said: "Pack up and leave the camp."
Now that he is the only one in the Gao family, he needs to remain useful and avenge the Gao family.
Yan Zhen said: "Master, wait a moment, I will go and prepare now."
However, before Yanzhen could leave the military tent, at this moment, the commotion of soldiers came from outside the military tent.
"Don't leave Gao Yong!"
"Seize the third son of the Gao family and surrender to the court immediately!" At this moment, the generals outside the tent shouted.
Then, a large number of soldiers gathered around and had a fierce battle with Gao Yong's personal guards.
"Ping ping ping pong..."
Accompanied by the collision of weapons and the repeated groans and shouts of killing, the personal guards loyal to the Gao family fell into a pool of blood under the fighting of the Shu army generals.
Gao Yong closed his eyes slightly at this moment, hearing the shouts of killing outside, and couldn't help but think of his brother, and felt extremely sad in his heart.
The general mutinied in order to make a living. I'm afraid he will follow in his brother's footsteps!
After a while, the Gao family's personal guards stationed outside the Chinese army's tent finally couldn't resist. A large number of Shu army generals and soldiers armed with Yanling knives poured into the military tent and surrounded and killed Gao Yong.
"Young Master, the third year of high school."
Gao Yong stared at the leading general and asked sternly: "General Tian Shen, you were promoted by my father. Are you trying to be ungrateful and turn around to harm me?"
Tian Qi had a look of shame on his face and was silent for a moment, then said: "Young Master, the third grade of high school, we have a family and we are all in the Chengdu Mansion now. If the Jianmen Gate is not broken, the brothers can still fight with the Gao family, but now the Jianmen Gate
The barrier has been broken, and seeing the defeat like a mountain falling, Third Young Master, the situation is over."
"yes."
All the military generals present echoed in unison.
Gao Yong stared at the Shu Army General, and familiar faces from the past came into view. Gao Yong could not help but close his eyes, and a sadness of betrayal and separation surged in his heart.
"Okay, I, the Gao family, have been in charge of Sichuan for more than ten years, and I will not let you go down the wrong path." Gao Yong said, pulling out the sword from his waist and holding it across his neck.
Yan Zhen's expression suddenly changed and he said urgently: "Young Master, no!"
"Since my brothers want to claim credit for my general's head, Gao will grant it to all brothers. Also, during the Qingming Festival, don't forget to offer incense sticks to our Gao family father and son." Gao Yong said in a sad tone, holding the hand in his hand.
He exerted great force on the Longquan sword, and suddenly streams of blood spurted out from his neck.
"Third Young Master..."
At this moment, the mutinous generals of the Shu army around them saw this scene and couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
The father and son of the Gao family have been in charge of Sichuan for nearly twenty years, and it can be said that they have influenced almost a generation. If Jianmenguan City had not been breached, the situation would have been irreversible, and the Shu army generals present might not have mutinied.
Now all three brothers of the Gao family are dead. If Gao Zhongping is included, then everyone in the family is dead and the end is tragic.
The faces of the generals present could not help but show a look of worry.
Yan Zhen was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Tian Qi, you have done a good job!"
The leading general, Tian Qi, had a look of uneasiness on his face and said, "General Yan, collect the body of the Third Young Master, I'll go out first."
With that said, a large number of Shu army generals came out of their tents, organized their troops and horses, and prepared to offer their sincerity to Jia Yun in Chengdu Fucheng.
Chengdu Fucheng, Governor’s Office—
The spacious and elegant hall was crowded with people.
Jia Yun is meeting with a group of local gentry and prominent families in Sichuan. Many of them are Sichuan-born bureaucrats who have become officials. They are now helping Jia Yun calm the situation in Chengdu.
One of the middle-aged gentry with an elegant face said: "General Jia, I wonder when the Duke of Liao will come to Chengdu?"
Jia Yun said: "The Duke of Liao has been on the road these days. According to the itinerary, it will probably last three to five days."
Another old man with gray hair and an old face coughed. He was Qiu Yuanchang, the former Sichuan Chief Envoy, and asked: "General Jia, I wonder how the imperial court dealt with rebellious civil servants? Are they under the control of the Gao family?
Zeng Shuhong was deceived and had no choice but to settle the score afterwards?"
When Jia Yun heard this, she felt a little weird.
He is really an old fox in official circles, and he also knows that the court will probably settle the accounts afterwards.
At this moment, a general entered the hall quickly, his rough face was filled with joy, and he said happily and inexplicably: "General Jia, the Shu army outside the city raised a white flag to our army, and mentioned the third son of the Gao family.
Gao Yong has committed suicide."
When Jia Yun heard this, she was overjoyed and said: "Let's go, everyone, let's go to the city gate tower to have a look."
When the Shu gentry in the hall heard this, their hearts moved slightly.
The third son of the Gao family committed suicide, so the chaos in Shu was completely put down?
After Jia Yun finished speaking, she looked towards the top of the city of Chengdu under the escort of her own soldiers.
A short while later, followed by a large group of gentry, they climbed to the top of the city of Chengdu.
At this moment, Jia Yunli was standing on the top of the city, looking at the Shu army camp in the distance. He saw the Shu army generals arrayed under the city wall, and white flags had been hung in the camp.
The Shu army seemed to have completely surrendered.
Xie Zaiyi was the Duke of Liao. The king of Chu awarded him a reward at that time. He used the title of Liao to deliberately disgust the protagonist. Later he forgot and wrote it as Duke of England. It was changed to Duke of Liao in the previous times. There is no need to correct the mistake.
