At the banquet in Chang'an, when blood was flowing like a river, the killings took place.
The large army of Xia Feihu stationed outside the city, as well as the large army of Shaanxi, were mostly drunk to the point of being completely intoxicated by Hong Chengchou's unlimited supply of alcohol.
Moreover, because they were stationed outside Chang'an, they were not on high alert, and there was drinking and celebration everywhere in the army.
Their vigilance was also very lax.
However, in the deep darkness of night, Zu Zhilong, Hong Chengchou's trusted adjutant, led tens of thousands of troops under Hong Chengchou's control.
They gradually approached the area around the Shaanxi and Guyuan camps, where defenses were lax.
Then, at Zu Zhilong's command, with the help of an inside agent in the camp, the group, fully armed, charged into the camp.
At this time, most of the people in the camp were completely drunk, under the deliberate orders and indulgence of Hong Chengchou, the supreme commander.
Most importantly, they were all in complete disarray, and neither wore armor nor carried any weapons.
After all, who would drink at a banquet while wearing dozens of kilograms of iron armor, with a knife at their waist, a bow on their back, and a spear several meters long beside them?
With Hong Chengchou's prior arrangements, the people on duty and patrolling the camp were also his own people.
Therefore, they had no power to resist the sudden attack led by Zu Zhilong, who had been preparing for it.
Zu Zhilong, with his familiarity with the camp, quickly divided his troops to block all the exits of the camp.
He then ordered the army to begin taking control of the main camp.
Inside Hong Chengchou's residence, the killing had ended.
All members of the Yang family who attended the banquet were killed.
Xia Feihu sat at the dining table, holding a wine glass, and looked at Hong Chengchou in front of him, saying:
"Now that we brothers have joined forces and killed these high-ranking members of the Yang family, all we need to do next is deal with the Yang family members in our army. From now on, Shaanxi will be under the control of the two of us brothers."
According to the agreement, the land east of Chang'an belongs to you, my brother, and the land west of Chang'an belongs to me; we will share Shaanxi together.
As for the three towns of Yansui, Ningxia, and Gansu, their total military strength was no more than 80,000.
Together, you and I, brothers, have over 100,000 troops, far exceeding their numbers.
Moreover, their troops were scattered in various places, far apart, and unable to support each other.
Under our oppressive power, they had no choice but to submit obediently.
Xia Feihu drank his wine while looking at Hong Chengchou, who was smiling in front of him.
At the same time, he was also talking about how the two of them would divide up Shaanxi in the future.
After listening, Hong Chengchou also picked up his wine glass and echoed his sentiment.
Then one of Hong Chengchou's confidants came over and said a few words.
Then Hong Chengchou stood up and said:
"Brother Xia, wait a moment. I have something to attend to. I'll go with you to deal with the Yang family members in the army later."
After saying that, he left the banquet filled with corpses.
Not long after Hong Chengchou left, Xia Feihu, who was slightly drunk, also noticed something was wrong.
Why is it that at the banquet, only he and his personal guards are there?
Where are Hong Chengchou's men?
Xia Feihu suddenly became alert and immediately got up to walk out of the mansion.
However, the gates of the mansion were quickly closed from the outside.
Immediately afterwards, countless archers carrying crossbows appeared on the roof of the mansion.
Upon seeing this, Xia Feihu immediately shouted:
"Hong Chengchou, what are you doing?"
I just joined forces with you to wipe out the Yang family, and you repay kindness with enmity.
Don't forget, I have tens of thousands of troops outside the city, and without my help, you alone are no match for them.
You can't stop the other three towns in the Northwest.
Before he could finish speaking, countless archers on the rooftop rained down arrows on him and his personal guards.
Everyone fell to the ground amidst the rain of arrows.
Hong Chengchou, escorted by his personal guards, arrived outside the mansion and looked at the tightly locked gate.
Listen to the continuous sound of arrows falling inside.
He unconsciously tightened his grip on the sword in his hand.
As the rain of arrows gradually fell, the tightly closed gate slowly opened. Inside the mansion, Xia Feihu, who had been chatting and laughing with him, was now lying on the ground, riddled with arrows.
Hong Chengchou entered his mansion, which was filled with corpses, and his personal guards carried over Xia Feihu's body.
Looking at Xia Feihu's corpse, Hong Chengchou thought to himself, "He's really a roughneck from the military."
There are no brothers in officialdom.
After cutting off his head, Hong Chengchou led his personal guards to the two armies' camps, which were already under control.
Upon seeing Hong Chengchou arrive at the camp with his personal guards.
Zu Zhilong, who was in control of the camp, immediately opened the gates and let Hong Chengchou in.
Hong Chengchou arrived at the camp and immediately saw the generals from Shaanxi and Guyuan Town who had already been gathered there.
At this point, there was no trace of drunkenness on their faces.
At this time, they were divided into two groups: one group consisted of people who were not closely related to the Yang family, and the other group consisted of Yang family members and generals who were closely related to the Yang family, as well as Xia Feihu's trusted generals.
Upon Hong Chengchou's arrival, a high-ranking general from Shaanxi immediately inquired:
"General, what are you doing? Why did you suddenly order General Zu to launch a surprise attack on the camp?"
After Hong Chengchou took his seat in the main seat, he immediately ordered his men to bring out the heads of Xia Feihu and the rest of the Yang family, and threw them in front of them, saying:
"Xia Feihu conspired with the Yang family to rebel, but I have already wiped him out."
Those who plot rebellion shall have their entire family executed, including nine generations.
Relatives and accomplices should all be executed.
kill. "
As soon as Hong Chengchou gave the order, his personal guards immediately stepped forward and slaughtered all the Yang family members, as well as Xia Feihu's trusted generals.
