Chapter 532 Take over the city
Lao Yongjia actually did not misunderstand the person. Chen Zilu was a loyal and righteous person, not a person who was afraid of death. If he was asked to go to the battlefield, he would definitely be the kind of person who died in battle. However, now he was threatened by Zhou Hui, and the lives of the whole family were in Zhou Hei's hands, and he had to obey Zhou Hei.
Chen Zilu was not afraid of death, but he could not push his mother to die, nor could he let his children and the whole family die, so he could only succumb to Zhou Hui.
Chen Zilu said to Zhou Hui: "If I follow you, how can I ensure the safety of my family?"
Zhou Hui said, "I, Zhou Hui, swear to the sky, if you open the city gate and I will hurt your family, just call me Zhou Hui, and you will not die a bad death."
Since Zhou Hui made such a poisonous oath in his own name, Chen Zilu had to believe it if he didn't believe it, so he had to follow it.
In fact, at this moment, Chen Zilu refused to follow and was unable to turn things around, because Zhou Hui's men had already occupied the key points of Dongchuan Gate. After an hour, the soldiers gradually relaxed their defense and were tired of people and were ready to fall asleep, they opened the city gate, and the overall situation was settled, and they were just waiting for the opportunity.
When the huge city gate of Dongchuan Gate was opened, a large number of Liu's soldiers began to pass through Dongchuan Gate, continuously entering the city and began to take over various places.
Because it was Liu Bu's order and the arrangements were made in advance, Xiao Ning didn't dare to take it lightly. He was the first group of people to enter the Jinan Prefecture City. When Xiao Ning entered the Jinan Prefecture City Gate, he saw Zhou Hui leading a group of men in black waiting for him at the door.
Zhou Hui and Xiao Ning are acquaintances. He bowed to Xiao Ning and said, "I'll leave it to you."
Xiao Ning bowed and said, "If it weren't for Lord Zhou's arrangement, he would never have to be defeated by the Jinan Prefecture. I would have been asked for the merits by Lord Zhou."
Zhou Hui disagreed. He thought to himself, I am the number one person under the general, do you still use you to ask for me? They had a good relationship before, but the bigger the official position, the more taboo he had, the less and less contact he had, and became a little unfamiliar.
Zhou Hui bowed to the other party casually, and in the dark night he had another task.
Zhou Hui now figured out his job and understood it, that is, to do some work for the Liu family army in the dark. These work are not openly capable, and Liu Bu also gave Zhou Heihe a great evaluation. Although he was not a soldier of the Liu family army, he played a role that even the Liu family army soldiers could not do.
For example, if they seized Jinan City this time, if they attacked Jinan Prefecture head-on, the casualties would be very heavy. When they were bleeding from Jinan City, the official army suddenly appeared and attacked them, and they would probably be defeated.
The Liu family army entered Jinan Prefecture through the Dongchuan Gate. After the Dongchuan Gate controlled, they sent people to control other city gates. At present, the Liu family army has an absolute advantage in number. What can block them is the tall city wall of Jinan City. Once this city wall is broken, they will not be able to resist the Liu family army. In Xiao Ning's words, once this city wall is broken, I will lead a hundred light cavalry and can destroy them. Now he has gathered at least tens of thousands of people under his command.
Xiao Ning commanded tens of thousands of people and quickly entered the area here and controlled the city gates. At this time, the entire Jinan city was still immersed in sleep, and the people in the city were also trapped in great worries and panic.
They had to panic. Tens of thousands of tigers and wolves gathered outside the city. Once these rebels captured the city, they didn't know what kind of harming things would happen, and how many people would destroy their families.
As a result, at dawn, many people were surprised to find that all the streets and yamen in Jinan were full of soldiers from the Liu family army. The soldiers of the Liu family army were also uniforms worn by the imperial official army, and the banners were similar, all of them were Liu, but a discerning person could tell at a glance.
The biggest difference between the Liu family army is that their soldiers are all confident and have high morale.
They broke up everywhere and were only responsible for performing their own tasks. They would never bully the people. The people were worried about the people. Moreover, their military uniforms and appearance were very neat and clean, and the soldiers were very polite. Even if they held weapons in their hands and forced some people to act according to their instructions, they were all equivalent to being kind.
Unlike Liu Zeqing's soldiers, who beat and scolded the people when they saw them, and they would reach out to take advantage of their eldest daughter and daughter-in-law. They would eat what they saw and take what they were useful. The soldiers of the Liu family army would never do this.
Many people saw that the soldiers of the Liu family army actually controlled Jinan Prefecture without hesitation. They felt that the sky had collapsed.
I think the sky is falling, the governor Lao Yongjia. He is in his sixties. If it is normal, he has retired. However, he feels that he should become governor and then retire as a governor, which can bring a perfect end to his career.
So after he spent 50,000 taels of silver and became the governor as he wished, all he thought was how to get the 50,000 taels of silver and get another handful of silver for himself to retire. Then there was no regret in life. Who knew that after he became the governor, he found that this governor was not easy to be a governor, and the officials here were even more difficult to be a difficult person, and there were a lot of trouble, and it was continuous. He wanted to be his governor to concentrate on making his money, which was not easy.
Liu Zeqing was wiped out and he was captured alive, which also brought great shock to him. He was busy all day yesterday and couldn't fall asleep until late at night. Finally, he forced himself to drink a few mouthfuls of his daughter Hong before he fell asleep. However, he was awakened by her butler, who told him in horror: "The city is broken."
Lao Yongjia was shocked and sweated in a cold sweat. He was very worried now, and he was very afraid of it. The most feared thing was that the city was broken. She knew that once the city was broken, she, the governor, would inevitably become a ghost under the sword. Even if the Liu family army did not kill him, the court would not spare him. The court was never ruthless towards officials who lost the city and land.
The officials of the court had great power and were superior, but they were also responsible for defending their territory. If the city he guarded was lost, it would be a crime of beheading. Many county magistrates and prefects, because his city was captured by bandits, he would have escaped by chance and eventually died at the hands of the court.
So Lao Yongjia knew that he was now a mouse entering the bellows and was angry at both ends. Maybe he would be dead. His only way to survive was to defend Jinan Prefecture and wait for the enemy to retreat, and he could retreat gloriously.
Now, Lao Yongjia does not seek merit, but does not seek any mistakes, but only wants to complete this term happily. He has even written a letter to the court to resign. As long as the court sends a more capable governor, he will immediately resign and no longer be an angry official. Who knows that before these ideas have come true, shocking news came, and the city was broken.
Jinan Prefecture was taken over by Xiao Ning's army without any hesitation. Many people imagined that the extremely tragic defense battle of Jinan Prefecture did not exist.
When Xiao Ning took over Jinan, Lao Yongjia was busy with his day yesterday and basically did not get the money, grain and troops he had won for a day. Many people were raising the money, but they didn't have to raise all of this, and Jinan Prefecture was broken.
Lao Yongjia was so scared that he shivered all over. He put on his official uniform and walked out of the backyard. Only then did he find that the entire governor's yamen had been taken over by the strong and powerful Liu family soldiers. They all held weapons and guarded everywhere. However, these Liu family soldiers were extremely disciplined and would not enter these prosperous places like Liu Zeqing's army before, and could not help but attack the eldest daughter-in-law and the little daughter's idea. When they saw the property, they would put it into their waists and stuff it into their mouths when they saw food.
Lao Yongjia was afraid of himself. Unexpectedly, the dignified governor's yamen was taken over by the enemy while he was sleeping. His face was extremely thrown, and he was extremely afraid.
Lao Yongjia said loudly: "Who is responsible for Liu Jun now?"
As soon as he asked this question, someone answered: "Now the Jinan Prefecture is in charge of the General, and the General Xiao Ning." Xiao Ning, wearing iron armor, walked over majestic under the escort of more than a dozen soldiers. He even bowed to Lao Yongjia very politely.
Lao Yongjia said, "You actually occupied Shandong Prefecture City. What is your intention? Is it to rebel?"
Xiao Ning disagreed, and said, "What rebellion? If we rebel, we should massacre the city now. We heard that Liu Zeqing's army rebelled 100,000 times, so we came to quell the rebellion. Now our army has been pacified, and Liu Zeqing has been captured alive by our army. We came to report to the governor."
This is a turning point. At present, the Liu family army and the court have already broken up, but whether it is Liu Bu or Liu Yuanqiao, they all believe that it is not the time to raise an army. Since it is not the time to raise an army, how to comfort the court well is a very serious problem.
In fact, the Liu family army now has a great chance of success in rebelling. After all, they have defeated the 100,000 troops of the imperial court and occupied the city. The entire Shandong can be said to be under their military front, which is better than many rebels. However, they believe that the time is not yet ripe and the Liu family is not ready. If the army is launched now, it is too hasty and it is easy to cause failure.
So they made a decision, that is, it was Liu Zeqing who rebeled, and they were ordered to quell the rebellion.
As for the orders, who was ordered by the local officials.
They all knew that now they had a broken-down with the court and a complete confrontation. However, one day, the Liu family army did not openly rebel, and the court would not openly openly suppress the Liu family army.
Lao Yongjia actually heard the Liu family army turn around like this. He was so angry that he shook his sleeves. He said, "Absurd! You are so arrogant that you are so arrogant. What is the difference between this and rebellion?"
