Chapter 2472 The Great Victory at Haojing (3) Yang Chan and Agarwood

Chapter 2468: The Great Victory of Haojing (3) Yang Chan and Agarwood

Hearing Li Kui's words, Li Si sneered and asked: "Does the Tang Dynasty still have people's hearts in Guanzhong?"

Li Kui was speechless. After all, if the Tang Dynasty still had people's hearts, how could there be so many aristocratic families opposing the Tang Dynasty?

Li Si did not give Li Kui a chance to refute, but continued to ask: "As far as the current situation is concerned, it is already impossible for the Tang Dynasty to keep Guanzhong.

Anyway, we will defend Chang'an just to weaken the Qin army. Anyway, Chang'an will fall into the hands of Qin sooner or later. Anyway, these aristocratic families will fall to Qin sooner or later. Why not take this opportunity to kill more? Lest these families help Tyrant Qin deal with us in the future. "

Li Si used three words of "anyway" in his face, which made Li Kui speechless at all.

 For Li Tang, Chang'an and even Guanzhong were already destined to be abandoned, so why bother thinking so much?

　　Directly massacre all the aristocratic families in Chang'an, leaving only Chang'an without aristocratic families for the Qin Dynasty to prevent these aristocratic families from helping Da Qin deal with Li Tang in the future.

The truth is indeed such a truth, and there is nothing wrong with it intellectually, but emotionally, Li Kui cannot accept it.

How can a person be so cold and ruthless, only considering interests and not caring about anything else?

Furthermore, if all the Chang'an families are really killed, Li Tang will be completely wiped out from the world. How can he have a future?

"That's true, but you can't just kill people randomly without explaining the reasons or evidence. What's the difference between this kind of atrocities and the original Yellow Turbans?"

Li Kui argued hard based on reason, but as a legal scholar, he was actually the opponent of Li Si, who was a scholar of both Confucianism and Legalism.

The two argued for a long time, but neither could convince the other. At this moment, Yang Biao came in aggressively.

“Two adults, can you explain this to me?”

Yang Biao suppressed his anger, his eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and asked: "Why did you send troops to massacre the entire Zhang family? What crime did my son-in-law Zhang Yang commit?"

Li Si and Li Kui stopped arguing. Li Kui said: "Old Taiwei, please calm down and let your subordinates check."

As he spoke, Li Kui took out the list and quickly found the name of Yang Biao's son-in-law, Zhang Yang, on the third page.

 “Old Lieutenant, General Zhang Yang launched a mutiny, the evidence is conclusive.” Li Kui sighed lightly.

Hearing this, Yang Biao could no longer hold back and roared angrily: "That's nonsense. How could my son-in-law betray the Tang Dynasty?

Have you ever found out? Just killing people randomly? Even my husband’s daughter and newly born grandson are not spared? "

Li Kui suddenly fell silent. Even if he killed the female family members, he even killed the newborn children. These people were completely red-eyed.

 Intellectually, Li Kui is willing to believe Yang Biao. After all, there are too many people who have died unjustly. Who knows if Zhang Yang is one of them?

 Li Kui didn’t know whether Zhang Yang actually rebelled, but no matter whether Zhang Yang was wronged or not, he had to insist that the other party rebelled, otherwise he would have no way to explain.

After thinking for a while, Li Kui said: "Old Lieutenant, regarding the matter of your son-in-law and his family, I will definitely investigate to the end. If it is really unjust, I will definitely clear your son-in-law's family."

When Yang Biao heard this, he was so angry that he overturned the table, pointed at Li Kui's nose and cursed: "Still innocent? Everyone is dead, how can you pay it back? What's the point of paying it back?"

Li Kui opened his mouth and was speechless again.

At this moment, another soldier came to report: "Sir, we have found letters written by Yang Xiu to the rebels from the three rebellious families."

"What?"

When Yang Biao heard this, his eyes widened, he stepped forward and grabbed the soldier's neck, and said angrily: "This is absolutely impossible, this is a false accusation, a false accusation. If you want to incriminate yourself, why bother?"

The soldier said with difficulty: "Yes, it is true."

 “Old Lieutenant, calm down, calm down.”

Li Kui and Li Si quickly stepped forward and pulled Yang Biao away, so that the soldier was not strangled to death, and continued: "Generals Li Maozhen and Zhang Shigui have gone to capture Master Yang Xiu, but Master Yang Xiu not only did not surrender, but also escaped. After returning to the Yang Mansion, he stayed behind closed doors, as the two generals had already led troops to surround the Yang Mansion. "

"What?"

Yang Biao and Li Kui exclaimed at the same time.

The Tang troops in the city have gone crazy. If Yang Xiu refuses to come out at all, and the soldiers outside the mansion completely lose their patience, once they force their way into the mansion, even the Yang Mansion may follow the example of those unjustly killed families. Follow in the footsteps.

It was about the lives of hundreds of members of his family. Yang Biao was also panicked. He was no longer as aggressive as before. He grabbed Li Kui and Li Si by their sleeves and begged: "Li Kui, Li Si, you give the order quickly, don't let those soldiers Come into the house."

"Don't worry, old lieutenant. I'm giving the order right now. No, I'll go with you personally to ensure that the Yang Mansion is safe and sound." Li Kui said seriously.

When Li Si saw this, he sneered in his heart.

you promise? What guarantee do you have? Everything in Chang'an today is decided by me, Li Si, and no one can protect you, Li Kui.

 After Li Kui left, Li Si also found an interface to leave, but in fact he went to contact Ban Chao.

Taking advantage of the civil strife in Chang'an, Yuhuatian had already led people to rescue Ban Chao.

 The two of them couldn't help but smile at each other as soon as they met.

Li Sidao: "Yang Biao, this old guy, is an old imperialist. He has always been against His Majesty. This time, no matter what, we will not let him and the Yang family go."

 Ban Chao nodded and said: "Before you come back, my lord, my subordinates have already given orders for those in the Tang army to attack us."

Li Si was startled and thought to himself: Those who dare to enter Chang'an alone are indeed not simple.

This is when Yuhuatian said: "But if you kill all the Yang family, what will Yang Jian do? I heard that your Majesty admires Yang Jian quite a lot and has expressed his intention to succumb to him more than once."

Li Si smiled and said: "It is precisely because of this that we should kill all the Yang family. The Yang family has always been a burden to Yang Jian. Only by killing all the Yang family and leaving Yang Jian free of burden can he be able to surrender to the Qin Dynasty."

 “That’s right.”

Ban Chao nodded in agreement and added: "Besides, the Yang family was slaughtered by Li Tang and has nothing to do with my Da Qin. Even if Yang Jian wants to hate him, he will not be able to do it to my Da Qin."

 “What Mr. Ban said is true.”

Seeing Ban Chao and Li Si, they looked like they wanted to see each other late, and the corners of Yu Huatian's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

 What is this called?

 Do you have similar tastes?

On the other side, Li Kui, who was heading to Yang Mansion, saw countless tragic scenes along the way.

 Wherever he passed, there were corpses everywhere, and it could be said that there was a river of blood, but the killing continued.

Yang Biao's face turned pale after seeing this scene, and he was worried that his own family would be like this.

Seeing this, Li Kui comforted him and said, "Don't worry, old Taiwei. The two generals, Li Maozhen and Zhang Shigui, are not indifferent people. They will never dare to invade the Yang Mansion."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two men's carriages arrived at Yang's Mansion, but there was no Tang soldier outside the mansion, and the door of Yang's Mansion was already open.

Li Kui opened his mouth when he saw this, but nothing came out.

The door of the Yang Mansion was wide open, and there were blood stains and corpses at the door. It was obvious that Tang soldiers had entered the house.

 “Xiu’er, madam…”

Yang Biao yelled and ran towards the house like crazy.

Seeing this, Li Kui could only follow with his guards. At the same time, he secretly prayed that the Tang soldiers had just invaded the house and had not killed too many people. Otherwise, he would not be able to explain to Yang Jian.

Yang Jian was fighting on the front line, but you were in the rear, killing all his family members. Who could resist rebellion?

Li Kui could only hope that Tang soldiers would enter the government. He didn't have time to kill too many people, but the luck in his heart was soon gone. What I saw after entering the mansion was so miserable.

A large number of corpses accumulated at the gate of the mansion, most of which were domestic soldiers and domestic slaves. It was obviously to prevent Tang soldiers from entering the mansion. Then a big battle broke out with Tang soldiers, but the result was a one-sided massacre.

It is not that there are no masters among the generals of the Yang family, but the Tang Army's crossbow series, even first-class or even super-first-class masters, can't stop the attacks of hundreds of Tang crossbows.

 The road that followed was littered with the corpses of domestic slaves, maids, cooks, housekeepers, and many Yang family members.

Regardless of gender, young or old, anyone encountered by Tang Bin would be either beheaded with a knife or shot to death with an arrow.

 “Yang’er, Dong’er…”

Yang Biao cried while holding the heads of a man and a woman. Obviously, these two people were direct disciples of the Yang family and Yang Biao's closest relatives.

Seeing this, Li Kui reached out his hand, wanting to offer words of comfort, but he couldn't say anything. After all, the person who died was not his relative, and he could not understand Yang Biao's grief and anger at this time.

The group continued to walk into the inner courtyard, but soon found the bodies of many female family members, many of whom had been stripped of their clothes and having **** together. It was obvious that they had been humiliated before they died, and there was even Yang among them. Biao's concubine and daughter-in-law.

Yang Biao almost fainted when he saw this, but soon he saw something more exciting.

 In the lotus pond that was dyed red, the body of Yang Biao's wife was floating in the lake.

Although Mrs. Yang is older, her charm is still there, and those big-headed soldiers who are used to hardship will obviously not let her go.

As Mrs. Yang Biao'e, she had been honored for half her life, but how could she bear such insults, so she committed suicide by throwing herself into a lake.

 “Mrs.”

Yang Biao roared when he saw this, and subconsciously prepared to jump into the lake to retrieve his wife's body, but was stopped by Li Kui and others.

Yang Biao, who was rescued, collapsed on the ground and cried loudly.

I think of him, Yang Biao, who lived through the Four Emperors and became an official to the Third Duke. Unexpectedly, he would suffer such a disaster in his later years, and he could not even save his first wife.

Looking at Yang Biao who was in tears, Li Kui felt very unhappy.

At this moment, a disheveled Tang soldier walked over with a lewd smile on his face. When he saw Yang Biao, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he raised his knife and slashed at him.

 “Rebel the party, you will die.”

Li Kui was shocked when he saw this and quickly knocked Yang Biao away, thus saving Yang Biao's life.

When the soldier saw someone obstructing him, he immediately became angry and brandished his sword to look at Li Kui.

Li Kui's guards were shocked when they saw this, and they quickly sent thousands of people to protect Li Kui.

 “You are so bold that you dare to attack the Lord with a knife.”

Li Kui's two guards were both third-rate masters, and they captured the Tang soldier alive in just a few strokes.

Seeing this, Li Kui asked with a livid face: "Whose soldier are you?"

The Tang soldier was trembling with fear and said: "Qi, Sir Qi, the younger one is the soldier of General Li Maozhen."

Li Kui's face became even more ugly, and he asked again: "Where are your generals?"

“A small group of soldiers was ambushed in Loei Mansion, and the general took people to Loei Mansion to support them.”

Hearing this, Li Kui's face looked much better, and he asked again: "So this place is now under the control of Zhang Shigui, and it was he who ordered the invasion of Yang Mansion?"

 “No, it was not General Zhang’s order.”

Li Kui frowned and asked, "Who gave the order? And Zhang Shigui and others?"

“After General Li Maozhen left, General Zhang Shigui entered the Yang Mansion alone, intending to persuade Yang Xiu to surrender and then never came out. The brothers thought that General Zhang had been killed, so they forced their way into the Yang Mansion to rescue General Zhang.”

Hearing this, Li Kui immediately understood the crux of the matter. The two generals were not here, and a group of large soldiers had no one to command, so they lost control.

Li Kui instinctively felt that there must be something wrong here. After all, the two generals were not present when the Yang family was robbed. How could it be such a coincidence?

 So, one of Li Maozhen and Zhang Shigui must have a problem.

Li Maozhen is the son of Li Xiaogong and a disciple of the Li family. The possibility of betraying the Li family is low.

Hence, Li Kui rightly believed that Zhang Shigui had some questions, but he had no time to investigate them now.

There are still sounds of fighting and screaming in the Yang Mansion, so it means that there are still people in the Yang family alive, but the massacre is still going on, so the top priority is to stop the massacre.

"I don't care whose soldier you are, now, immediately, immediately, let your superior officer come to see me." Li Kui said seriously.

The soldier looked confused: "But sir, even the young ones don't know where the superior officer is?"

Li Kui was so angry that he could only lead people deeper into the house and stopped in front of a house.

More than two hundred Tang soldiers, armed with swords or crossbows, surrounded the house, but no one took a step forward, as if there was something terrifying inside, but there were dozens of corpses of Tang soldiers at the door and in the courtyard. .

 Obviously, the Tang army once attacked the courtyard, but was beaten out by the strong men in the courtyard.

 Zhang Shigui's son-in-law, He Zongxian, shouted into the courtyard: "Rebels of the Yang family, you are surrounded. Hand over my father-in-law quickly."

 But there was no response at all.

Seeing that there was no reply in the courtyard for a long time, He Zongxian ordered to fire arrows, but after several rounds, there was still no movement. So he took courage and led a group of people into the courtyard with strong shields in hand.

But just as he entered, a sword energy flew out from the room, hit the strong shield, and blew away a whole row of Tang soldiers.

He Zongxian was shocked when he saw this and quickly shouted: "The rebels are not dead yet, get out quickly."

 A group of people quickly retreated.

In the room, Yang Chan, who had been hit by two arrows, suddenly vomited a large mouthful of blood after using the sword just now.

As Yang Jian's younger sister, Yang Chan's strength is not weak. She has the cultivation level of a half-step master, but even so, it is still difficult to compete with the army. She was shot by two arrows by the Tang Army's crossbowmen and was seriously injured.

 “Mother.”

Young Yang Chenxiang couldn’t stop crying when she saw her mother vomiting blood.

A four-thousand-word chapter, covering today and yesterday.

I wrote it yesterday but didn’t finish it. I fished a bit while I was at work today and took the time to code up four thousand words and send them out together.
