Chapter 60 fifty-nine

Nine undercover The mutiny of the Zuo Tunwei Army was headed by a general named Wu Qing.These days, Wu Qing has been leading 300 people under his command to block the opening of Longshou Canal. This afternoon, a group of people changed to block the opening before they returned to the camp.After working for days, these three hundred people were so tired that they couldn't look like adults. They didn't want to be served with moldy rice. Wu Qing took a bite, spat it out with a "poof", threw the bowl on the ground and scolded his mother. . At this moment, a soldier suddenly covered his stomach, with a painful expression on his face, and yelled: "It hurts me to death!" Then someone from another camp shouted: "I've eaten a dead person, I've eaten a dead person." Well, a brother from Zuo Shao died suddenly after eating moldy rice for three days in a row.Wu Qing was so angry that he didn't want to fight anywhere, and led a dozen soldiers to surround the cook's head and was about to beat him.The cook quickly excused himself and said loudly: "Don't rely on me about this matter, look over there, it's all things that have been soaked in water."

Wu Qing opened a bag of rice, sniffed it with a handful, threw it on the ground, and cursed, "Grandma, a soldier eats food, a soldier eats food, what kind of soldier do you have to eat if you don't have any food?" As he spoke, he drew his waist knife and walked towards the big tent, followed by a large group of soldiers.This group of people yelled all the way and surrounded the big tent of the Chinese army.At this time, Chang Sheng happened to take the soldiers who were in rotation to repair the canal to the construction site of Longshou Canal. They were not in the tent, so Wu Qing and others vented their anger on two of Chang Sheng's staff and beat them up.More and more people gathered, and people from all battalions came. Only then did everyone know that seven people had been eaten to death.

At this moment, the soldiers were furious, Wu Qing waved the knife in his hand and incited: "Brothers, they gave us horse fodder, so many people died, they treat us like livestock, let's fight them, Express your anger!" After finishing speaking, he was the first to walk towards the gate of the camp, followed by many emotional soldiers, most of them didn't know who Wu Qing was going to fight with, thinking that he was just going to the Ministry of War or Wherever you can manage, go to Shangfeng to reason, and many spectators join in along the way. The heavy wooden fence gate was pushed open, and it was almost dark at this time, the soldiers walking in front lit torches, and just as they were about to rush out of the camp gate, several fast horses rushed over, and the leader shouted: "Give them all!" I stop!" The chaotic soldiers stopped, and it was none other than their immediate superior Chang Sheng.

Chang Sheng pointed at the crowd with a horsewhip and scolded: "You are the imperial guards, you are guarding the capital, how can you mess up yourself first? Go back to the camp!" Wu Qing said viciously: "Why did you mess up first? I have to ask you! Why does the imperial court give everyone food that even animals don’t eat? Do you know that seven people have already died, and we don’t want to be the eighth!” Chang Sheng glared at Wu Qing: “Bold, Are you talking to Shangfeng?" Wu Qing sneered: "Shangfeng? Who is Shangfeng in the Zuotunwei barracks now? These thousands of angry soldiers are Shangfeng. Brothers respect you as a battlefield I don’t want to make things difficult for you, so get out of the way, otherwise, don’t blame us for not being sympathetic.”

Chang Sheng refused to give an inch, and lay across the road like a nail. Wu Qing shouted hysterically: "Then don't blame us for being rude, brothers, go!" Under Wu Qing's encouragement, the soldiers raised their knives The spear moved forward slowly, Chang Sheng pulled out his sword suddenly, and stabbed the two people repeatedly, all the soldiers showed fear on their faces, and began to back away in fear. Wu Qing reached out and grabbed a handful of blood from a corpse, shaking a bloody hand and said to the soldiers behind him, "Did you see it? This is blood! Two more lives, there is no way out anyway." , let's fight him!" All the soldiers swarmed up and slashed at Chang Sheng.

Chang Sheng fought hard, stabbing countless people in a row, and the fallen corpses aroused the hatred of the soldiers, and they finally surrounded Chang Sheng with shouts.Dozens of spears pierced his body at the same time—at that moment, a woman's mournful cry suddenly came from the side of the street: "Commander!" Chang Sheng, whose face was covered in blood, turned his head and saw Cai Ji, who was almost crazy in the firelight, rushing towards him, and stretched out his hand as much as possible, as if trying to support him.A trace of sadness flashed across Chang Sheng's eyes, and he stretched out a hand towards Caiji to grab something, but he didn't grab anything, and his tall body fell down suddenly.Caiji stumbled and fell to the ground, she cried and struggled to get up and wanted to move forward, but Chang Sanduo grabbed her tightly from behind, with the flames shining on his face, he was crying.

Chang Sheng's death caused a commotion among the soldiers.A timid little schoolboy said: "Let's run away quickly, the emperor will send someone here." Wu Qing swung his knife and shouted, "Escape? Where are you going? Chang Sheng is dead. Killing the commander-in-chief is a capital offense." Ah. Now that we have reached this point, there is nothing to think about, brothers, forget about it, go to the palace, where there are gold, silver, treasures and women, at least you can have a good time!" An old soldier said: "Master, there are sixteen guards in the imperial guards in Chang'an City. How can our guards defeat so many people?" Wu Qing said: "Most of the imperial guards in the city train in Beiyuan. There are only a thousand people, as long as we act quickly, we can enter the palace before the people from Beiyuan return to the city, and finish the work that needs to be done. If we can support a new king, you can also worship generals and seal marquises What—" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that the soldiers around him stopped, and when he looked up, it was Li Shimin who was leading Ma Xuanliang and several guards standing in front of the camp gate, looking at him coldly.

Two generals' legs softened, and they had already knelt down, and then the people behind Wu Qing knelt down, and Wu Qing's own legs softened, and he almost knelt down, but he suddenly woke up and stood up straight, sneering He said in one voice, "Your Majesty, do you dare to bring these people to my Zuo Tunwei Army?" Li Shimin laughed loudly: "Is the Zuo Tunwei Army yours? Huh, you are not a little bit, you heard me clearly, the Zuo Tun Guard Army is not someone's, it is the Imperial Guard of the Tang Dynasty!" Wu Qing responded loudly: "That sounds good, do you regard us as the imperial guards of the Tang Dynasty? After so many years, you haven't forgotten that we are the old prince's old department, and today you poisoned seven of us to death. Personally, this is not treating us as human beings!"
