Jinyang.

There were flames all over the city, and there were screams everywhere.

The sound of rapid footsteps on the road was heard, and the door was smashed and screams were heard.

In the courtyard, many warriors were holding weapons and looking warily in the direction of the gate, their faces pale and trembling.

There were many warriors armed with crossbows around, occupying favorable terrain and aiming their weapons at several entrances.

In the inner room, a group of people gathered around Zhao Yanshen, talking incessantly.

Compared with everyone's panic, Zhao Yanshen's expression was relatively calm.

He sat there with the same expression on his face.

His son, General Zhao Zhong, stood in front of him, his voice trembling.

"Father, run, find a way to escape from here."

"Some people started attacking our mansion last night. We still have too few people. We need to run out first!"

The other disciples and guests also nodded.

"Mr. Zhao, if you don't run now, it will really be too late."

"I sent people to look outside. There was chaos inside and outside the city. There was no order. The soldiers were looting everywhere. Many generals were killed. There were constant shouts of killing from the palace!"

"We have to find a way to leave!"

Everyone tried to persuade him.

After Duan Shao secretly ran away with the emperor, chaos began to appear throughout Jinyang. Following Duan Shao's instructions, Zhao Yanshen worked hard to appease many generals, thinking of taking them to defect to Liu Taozi as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, what he faced was a bunch of old Xianbei.

Lao Xianbei never cared about the future, only the present.

When they learned that Duan Shao and the emperor had left and there was a gap in Jinyang's military power, the generals were instantly ready to take Duan Shao's position and become the leader of Jinyang.

Cedillo was the first to make a move.

He called everyone together in the name of discussing important matters, and then forced these people to submit to him. Then they started fighting, killing many and injuring others. When they learned that the general had been killed, their officers and soldiers also began to attack each other.

.

The shortage of food and grass added to the confusion.

In just a short period of time, the entire Jinyang turned into this ghostly state.

Jinyang soldiers under various military leaders fought with each other, and some Jinyang soldiers who had no access to food and grass came out to cause trouble. They started killing people crazily and looting everywhere, and the whole Jinyang instantly turned into hell.

Zhao Yanshen and other civil servants really could not play any role in this situation. They could only close the door and hope for happiness.

The heads of those ministers who rushed forward to appease the rebels had already been dried by the wind.

Zhao Yan sighed deeply.

He looked at the frightened people in front of him. It was normal to be afraid.

These lunatics in Jinyang began to cause chaos. No general could step in to suppress them in time, and everyone who saw them was afraid.

Things were somewhat beyond Zhao Yanshen's prediction, and perhaps even beyond Duan Shao's prediction.

Zhao Yanshen originally thought that the generals, who were short of food and grass and without their leader, would not object to following him to join Liu Taozi.

After all, Liu Taozi also has considerable prestige in front of Jinyang soldiers.

However, he still underestimated the desires of these madmen.

When they learned that Duan Shao was gone, their first thought was to snatch Duan Shao's position.

No matter how many days I can be a great Sima, I will do it first.

Then, a huge internal melee broke out. Jinyang, where the old Xianbei people were the densest, was massacred by his own family. There were fires and screams everywhere.

Zhao Yanshen looked at them and whispered: "When Duan Shao left, the general's men must have known about the situation in Jinyang."

"I think they may have fought with the rebels outside the city."

"Don't be afraid. It's even more dangerous to stay in the mansion and leave the mansion rashly."

Everyone lowered their heads and fidgeted. Everyone was frightened, and some of the timid ones even started wiping away tears.

Zhao Yanshen closed his eyes again.

Duan Shao was able to escape successfully, but a military rebellion broke out in Jinyang.

His many years of planning were torn to pieces when he was about to succeed.

Zhao Yanshen couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

Sure enough, am I still not suitable for big things?

At this moment, the warriors in the courtyard suddenly started shouting again, and there was a faint sound of banging on the door. Everyone in the room had their hearts in their throats, and they pulled out their swords tremblingly.

"Let me go!"

"Let me go~~"

There were cries and howls in the village, and the surrounding houses were burning with fire.

There were many corpses lying on the ground, and a soldier walked out of the firelight with a woman in his arms.

On the dead wood in the distance, the crow flapped its wings in fear and fled in a hurry.

The rebel soldiers piled together the living and dead women they found, and a few others went to search along the road. The ones in charge of the guards had already begun to put down their weapons and take off their clothes.

The ground trembled slightly.

The rebels didn't care, they were just immersed in their desire to vent their animal nature.

With the neighing of the war horses, a group of cavalry rushed out from the path in the distance.

The moment these knights emerged, they began to bend their bows and shoot arrows.

"Swish swish~~"

"Pfft~~"

A round of arrows killed the soldiers who stayed here. Almost none of the arrows missed, and every arrow hit the enemy.

There were screams of surprise not far away, and the rebel soldiers carrying many large and small packages saw these knights and hurriedly raised their weapons.

The knights galloped past and looked at the rebels.

After a while, the dozen or so rebel soldiers fell down and were buried in the sea of ​​fire they had ignited.

The knights began to check on the situation of the village women.

More and more troops appeared from the path.

There are cavalry and infantry.

The army hurried past on the path, and some scouts came back to report the situation.

Yao Xiong rode a tall war horse and walked in the front army's position.

His face was gloomy and his eyes were flashing with anger.

There was another person walking beside him on horseback, it was Gao Yanzong.

Yao Xiong looked at the burned village with him and the corpses everywhere.

Yao Xiong said fiercely: "Sometimes, I really want to write a letter to my brother, telling him not to recapture any Jinyang soldiers. It is not an exaggeration to kill all soldiers like this."

Gao Yanzong looked a little embarrassed and said: "The rebel soldiers are like this. No matter whose family the rebel soldiers are, once they rebel from the military camp and leave the officers, they will become the most ferocious bandits. This has nothing to do with whether they are Jinyang soldiers or not.

"

"Jinyang soldiers are the sharpest blades in the world. If they are good at listening to orders, they will be like the general."

"As long as they are fed and fed, they will not hesitate even if they are asked to attack Chang'an immediately."

Yao Xiong was still very angry, "On my way here, I didn't meet many of the brave Jinyang soldiers you mentioned, but I met a lot of bandits."

"They not only harmed Jinyang, but also ran around. If I hadn't made arrangements to block these beasts around, I don't know how much harm Bingzhou would have suffered!"

Gao Yanzong did not answer, but shook his head in regret.

After letting Duan Shao escape, Yao Xiong led his troops close to Jinyang, contacted Lao Tian, ​​and prepared to recapture Jinyang.

But then there was internal fighting in Jinyang. The generals killed each other, and a large number of defeated troops fled and became rioters without officers. They burned, killed and looted. Yao Xiong had to deploy the surrounding defense lines first to reduce the harm of the rioters as much as possible.

Then he led people to encircle and suppress the Jinyang soldiers who were causing trouble.

As we get closer and closer to Jinyang, we encounter more and more rebels, rebels, and even soldiers fighting each other.

If he encounters troops that are still organized but are just killing each other, Yao Xiong will ask Gao Yanzong to come forward.

Gao Yanzong still had some status in Jinyang. Facing these Jinyang soldiers who had no generals and were led by officers, he could use his personal prestige to make them submit and return to the settlements arranged for them.

If it cannot be solved with personal prestige, then it can be solved through formation and slaying the future.

But if you encounter such rioters who are completely out of order, burning, killing and looting, you will just shoot them directly.
