Spring and Autumn I Am King

Zhenyi's clerk had just fallen asleep, because today the big house that the merchant of the Song country called Feng Ji had asked for had been dimly lit, and the lamps and candles were expensive, which made the clerk feel extremely distressed. He had the heart to remind everyone to remember to blow the lamp when sleeping, but he was afraid of those vicious servants, so he didn't dare to act.

After tossing and turning for a long time, he couldn't help getting up, put on a ge robe and pushed the door out, but found that the dog **** in the yard was not moving. When he went over, he saw that the ground was wet, and it was actually killed by someone. !

He suddenly burst into anger: "These ordinary people actually killed Naigong's dog who guarded the house while drunk!"

The clerk took two steps in three steps, and was about to go over and knock on the door of the big house, but saw that the inside was gently pushed open first, and a group of people filed out, carrying swords that reflected the moonlight in their hands.

"Have…"

She was shocked, and was about to shout "there is a thief", but was directly nailed to death by a dagger that flew over with a swoosh. After he fell to the ground, his eyes were full of fear, his tongue stretched out, and blood flowed to the ground.

The eldest daughter of the clerk, who had been tossing with another merchant in the middle of the night, heard some movement. She came out of the side room with a lamp in her hand, and sat by the door. She almost fainted from fright. , and then Feng Rin rushed over and tightly covered his mouth.

"Don't call me if you don't want to die!"

Feng Rin's heart was also trembling, and he sighed that he still killed innocent people tonight. He took a crossbow-wielding chivalrous man who left behind to protect the woman and held the woman and the merchants in her house. . They just need to wait quietly, but they don't know whether it will be Wu Zun or Zhencheng's Yi soldiers who will come to the door tomorrow morning...

Before entering the house, he also specially advised Tian Ben: "The commander of the brigade has a word first, and try to kill as few people as possible."

"I can save it."

Tian Ben had already withdrawn the **** dagger, wiped it on the clothes of the dead man, and then had the body be hidden in the dark. Immediately, while the merchants and travelers in the building were still asleep, he brought a dozen people along with him. On the way to come, I went straight to the south gate of Zhenyi.

The others headed north in the dark. They would set fire to the house near Zhen's Lilu in the north of the city to attract their clan soldiers. Make it impossible to rush to the South Gate.

Everyone stepped out of the hospital and worked separately.

It was the middle of the night, and the bustling streets during the day were empty, half an hour later. Tian Ben and others arrived at the South Gate. The door was closed, and the fire was burning all night. Tian Ben found that the number of guards was half that of the day. There were only one or two people left, and a few stood sparsely on the walls. The guards at the door were dozing off with their spears in their arms.

"Come over quietly, overturn the two people beside the stairs, and then divide into two groups to occupy the city wall and city gate!"

Tian Ben is no longer a reckless man who only cares about rushing and fighting alone. He only feels that since he has been with the gentleman, he has traveled wider and wider, his knowledge has become wider and wider, and the things he has done have become bigger and bigger! If there is no progress, his position will be taken over by the latecomers sooner or later.

So Tian Ben and his subordinates of light chivalrous soldiers first quietly touched them, wiped the necks of the two at key positions, and then threw the ropes to kill the two on the wall. Then they sent people to climb up the city wall along the soil steps. At this moment. A guard woke up with a start and began to shout that there was a thief, but he was soon hit by arrows and arrows, and there was no sound.

As in previous drills, this sneak attack was done very neatly. After the corporal in charge of the gate was also beheaded by Tian Ben, the battle was over. The remaining twenty guards lost their nerve and surrendered. .

Although Tian Ben didn't quite understand their Pubei dialect, he understood what it meant to kneel down and beg for mercy. The killing was stopped.

At the same time, several houses near Zhen's Lilu in Yibei were also set on fire. The flames were small at first, but gradually became larger. From time to time someone made a panicked exclamation. The alertness of Zhen's clan soldiers was much higher than that of the Yimen guards, and they quickly turned over and flocked there.

For a time, that side became the focus of Quanyi, and no one paid attention to Yinan Gate for a while.

"The big thing is over, I just hope that the second and third sons who set fire to the fire will survive."

Tian Ben also raised the torch and swayed to the side of the mulberry forest half a mile outside the city...

…

Zhao Wuxi and others went all night after crossing the Pushui, and arrived outside the city in the dark an hour ago. Fifty people stayed behind to **** the baggage and the guards who were bound. Fifty people were dragged down during the rapid march, and they were left to join in halfway, so now only five hundred can be put into battle.

At the forefront of Sanglin are Yu Xi and the light knights. The horses are holding the horses, and the riders are standing and waiting with their saddles. They form two wedge-shaped teams, each with a task.

Zhao Wuxi and Zhang Mengtan stood side by side on the carriage that was slightly behind, while Xing Ao, the master, was staring at the flickering Yimen. at the shoulder.

During the waiting period, Zhang Mengtan couldn't help breaking the silence, he said to Wu Xie: "Zhenyi is a city with a thousand houses, with a population of 8,000, and a brigade of soldiers. If you recruit people from the country, you can reach the manpower of a division. Defending the city. So it is still a bit troublesome to attack, but if the inside and the outside are combined, it is hoped that it will be easily won."

These words seem to be analyzing the situation and encouraging themselves. Although they are full of confidence when making plans, after all, this is Zhang Mengtan's first battle as the mastermind, so it is inevitable that he is a little nervous.

Zhao Wuxi said: "There is no way to completely keep secrets when traveling in the enemy's territory. After the ferry was attacked and the boat bridge was set up, the guards may have noticed our whereabouts. By tomorrow at the latest, the nearby towns of a thousand chambers will be We will know the news and we will be able to send reinforcements the day after.”

"If this plan doesn't work, in order to avoid being attacked by the guards inside and outside Zhenyi, we can only retreat westward to join the army of the Jin State, and then use the strength of the Jin division to break through this city, so that the next plan can be realized. went well."

But in that case, the nature of this action will be different. He will change from a wise gentleman who is in exile but still cherishes Jin, so he seizes the city with his righteousness in order to win the master of Jin, to an incompetent son who hugs his father's thick legs. .

Zhang Mengtan also swallowed his saliva. His father, the current Jin Zhongjun Hou Yan, is probably the vanguard of the army. If this plan fails, he may be dragged back to Jin, but he is not sure.

Therefore, this battle must be won!

This is related to whether Zhao Yang will be surprised or disappointed, it is also related to the two, and even the future of this exile organization.

At this moment, Xing Ao pointed at Yimen and said, "Look at the commander, it's a signal!"

Looking around with square eyes without a shirt, he saw that on the top of the Yiqiang Watchtower, the flickering firelight swaying left and right was the signal that He Tian Ben had negotiated. There was also flames rising into the sky in the city, and the voices of people could be faintly heard. It seemed that the people who ignited the disturbance and dragged the soldiers of the Zhen clan had also succeeded.

Zhao Wuxi broke the mulberry branch in his hand and threw it to the ground.

"Well done, that generation should be the first person today! Pass my order, and the whole brigade will follow me quickly and enter this town!"

The light cavalry galloped away, the whistle sounded, and the chariot moved slowly with the footsteps of the soldiers.

…

According to the customs clearance rules of the Wei Kingdom, the gate of the city cannot be opened after nightfall, and merchants and pedestrians who arrive late can only sleep on the side of the city wall.

This night, there were also a few unlucky eggs hanging in the corner. Fortunately, it was midsummer, and the night was not cold, but there were a lot of mosquitoes.

During the third watch, the merchants and travelers who were bitten all over their bags could not sleep. They were restless when they heard some faint sounds coming from the walls. It seemed that someone was shouting, and metal collided with each other. And the heavy object fell to the ground.

Afterwards, everything disappeared into silence, except that there were voices in the distance. Before they could think about it, they found that the gate of the city was slowly opening.

Everyone was full of surprises, and there was still some time before the **** crowing. Could it be that tonight is a special situation, so the door was opened earlier? Just as he was about to enter the door to find a place to rest, he saw a few big men covered in blood and guards who were in a state of embarrassment walking out. The antlers immediately knelt on the side of the road and did not dare to move.

"What's going on?" The merchant and the traveler looked at each other, and when they asked a question, the other party didn't answer, but just waved their hands away in annoyance.

"If you don't want to die, go to the side, Hugh has to stand in the way!"

Several of the wealthy people with swords were a little annoyed, and they were about to have a seizure, but heard a rumbling sound behind them.

When I turned around, I saw more than 20 light knights riding on horses alone rushing towards them in two formations under the moonlight. They hurriedly avoided giving way, but the knights did not enter, but scattered along the city wall to both sides. Open, split into two teams and gallop away.

"Could it be that there is a war..."

All the merchants were shocked. The hegemony between Jin and Qi was no longer news, but according to reliable information, the Jin army was still west of the Dahe River, which was a hundred and twenty miles away. Why did they suddenly cross three or four cities and enter here?

However, the black army soldiers who rushed towards the city gate with neat steps next confirmed their conjecture. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Merchants are most afraid of encountering chaos soldiers, but these people just glanced at them and did not make trouble.

These merchants and passersby simply knelt together with the guards tremblingly. They lowered their heads and saw countless pairs of leggings and muddy feet trotting into the gate of the city. The dust was pouring into their mouths and noses. Don't dare to move.

Until a slowly rolling wheel stopped in front of them, and then a voice sounded, asking their identities and nationalities with Yayin and Shangyin respectively.

A bold man from Puyang raised his head and saw two gentlemen with weak crowns in the car. The one on the left of the car was wearing armor and a coat, holding a sword and a tiger to look at everyone, how mighty and domineering. On the right side of the car was a young man in plain clothes and a crown, who was looking at them with a kind smile.

After the people of Puyang answered, the young man who looked like the commander-in-chief of the whole army said in a commanding tone: "The Zhao clan of the Jin state will take over this place, you wait here, you can enter the city after registering your identity after dawn, and enter the city to find a safe place. Stay here and don’t leave within half a ten-day period!”

A businessman dared to ask if the goods would be forcibly confiscated, and the crowned youth on the right side of the car smiled elegantly: "You can rest assured, the commander of the brigade is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and it came to save the people of Zhenyi from war. , why would you do such a thing?"
