() The soldiers have high morale and high spirits! They are obviously an elite division. Wu Taoluo, who was waiting at the gate of the military camp, couldn't help but sigh when he saw such heroic soldiers. When they saw Zhao Yiming and others coming out, they couldn't help but clap their hands.
Zhao Yiming flattered him and said that the Xia Family Army officers were indeed well-deserved, but Zhao Yiming and others almost burst into laughter.
Although Wan Qixi and others have taken control of Zhijiang City, after staying in Jiangling for so many years, Wan Qixi is very aware of the methods of the Disi Department. When Zhao Gou and a group of civil and military officials were killed by Wang Jun, Die Die
The general manager of the department, Li Xuan of Dajidie, and Jiangnan Disc
This was caused by internal and external cooperation. Therefore, when the army entered the city before, they were careful to do so late at night and did not dare to disturb the troops in the city. This time when they left the city, they waited until the dead of night before they dared to let Zhao Yiming lead his troops out of the city.
Outside the city, Wan Qixi and Pang Junyi were already waiting at the city gate. In addition to the two of them, there were hundreds of soldiers wearing armor. It seemed that they should be soldiers they secretly trained. Zhao Yun in the army saw
Seeing these soldiers, his eyes couldn't help but shine with a cold light. Not to mention anything else, just in private.
Training the army was enough to convict Wan Qixi and Pang Junyi of death. However, Zhao Yun still held back and did not take action. Zhao Yiming, pretending to be Yang Lin, took a step forward, clasped his fists at Wan Qixi and Pang Junyi and said, "Thank you Wan."
As Sir Xi and General Pang Junyi have been waiting for a long time, we can set off at any time."
Wan Qixi glanced at the soldiers behind Zhao Yiming with some envy, nodded and praised: "I have heard for a long time that the soldiers under Master Xia are good at fighting. Today I saw the soldiers under General Yang Lin. They are indeed brave men. The Song Dynasty was so good.
Lion, there is hope for ZTE. After we put Zhao Zhen under house arrest in the future, I am afraid I will also be the prime minister, and I will definitely not treat you badly."
Hearing what Wan Qixi said, Zhao Yiming couldn't help but sneer in his heart. How dare he think that Wan Qixi was still thinking of swallowing up his own army. As expected, Zhao Yun's previous evaluation of Wan Qixi was not wrong.
He does have some talents. But he still has some literary skills.
Confucianism is rotten and arrogant. He doesn't even think about it, even if the real Yang Lin is in front of him, how can he be willing to hand over his army to others? Then Xia Cheng welcomes Zhao Gou, but he is not actually holding the same position as his majesty.
I had the same idea as before, wanting to blackmail His Majesty into ordering the Song Army.
However, Zhao Yiming naturally would not tell this. Instead, he cupped his fists and said to Wan Qixi: "The soldiers of a certain family came to serve the Song Dynasty. Lord Wan Qixi, let's set off." Since he wants to play Yang Lin,
Zhao Yiming naturally wanted to speak from Yang Lin's perspective. These words were clearly intended to change the topic, but they were consistent with Yang Lin's identity.
After hearing Zhao Yiming's words, Wan Qixi also knew that he had made a mistake. He smiled awkwardly, and then said to Zhao Yiming: "General Yang Lin is right. In this case, we will set off immediately. I believe we should be able to get there at dawn.
Before we rush to Jiangling City." As he said this, Wan Qixi no longer put on airs, but made an invitation gesture to Zhao Yiming, indicating that Zhao Yiming could command the army.
This time Zhao Yiming stopped being polite and turned towards Jiang Shanli behind him. Liu Wenyuan and Liu Congxi shouted: "Yu Chuan, Xia Wutao, and Longshan listen to the order, each with his own troops, let's go!"
Chapter 732: Vicious Conspiracy
Although they were disguised as Xia troops, the quality of this army, which Zhao Yun personally trained in the area occupied by the Jin soldiers, would not be weakened by this. The soldiers and horses marched rapidly, and before dawn, the army had already arrived outside Jiangling City.
As expected, under the leadership of Wan Qixi and Pang Junyi, the army did not go directly to the north gate of Jiangling, but made a large circle to the south gate of Jiangling City.
The night sky is the darkest just before dawn. Standing in front of the South City Gate, the majestic city wall looks unusually tall in the darkness. Looking at Jiangling City that they have not seen for a long time, Zhao Yun and others are a little emotional. However,
Finally, they knew that they were doing business now, so they didn't reveal anything. As for Wan Qixi and Pang Junyi, they were obviously excited because something was about to happen, and they didn't notice the brief strangeness of Zhao Yiming next to them.
"General Yang Lin, please wait a moment." After bowing to Zhao Yiming, Pang Junyi rode to the foot of the city wall, got off his horse, and found a huge lantern. Then, Pang Junyi carried the lantern and walked back a few steps.
Stepping forward, he took out a lantern from his arms, lit the lantern, and placed it on the ground. After doing all this, Pang Junyi glanced at the city head, then turned around and got on his horse again, facing Zhao Yiming.
He smiled and said: "General Yang Lin, please wait patiently for a while, you will be fine soon."
Zhao Yiming did not speak. He knew that this must be the secret code discussed by Pang Junyi and his accomplices in the city, and the city gate would soon be opened by Pang Junyi's accomplices. Although he was a little angry that such an important position would be completely controlled by the enemy.
, but Zhao Yiming also knew that now was not the time to get angry, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart and wait quietly for the city gate to open.
After waiting for nearly half a stick of incense, the city gate finally opened slowly. Although the person who opened the city gate was very careful, the creaking sound was still so harsh on this silent eve of dawn.
Wan Qixi smiled and said to Zhao Yiming: "General Yang Lin, the city gate has been opened, then it depends on the general."
Zhao Yiming raised his brows and asked: "Master Wan Qixi, won't you continue to help us Qingjun side? You know, we know nothing about the situation in Jiangling City."
"Uh!" Wan Qixi and Pang Junyi were both stunned. They looked at each other and seemed to be hesitant. Before that, they had received the order to bring Yang Lin's soldiers and horses into Jiangling City.
But they didn't expect that the other party would actually make such a request. On the surface, they naturally couldn't say that they would not interfere with the next action.
After hesitating for a moment, Old Man Wanqixi was still very cunning and said first: "Then, please ask General Pang Junyi to follow General Yang Lin. General Pang Junyi has a very thorough understanding of the situation in Jiangling City and will definitely help General Yang Lin go smoothly.
Mission accomplished.”
What Wan Qixi meant was that he sold Pang Junyi so that he could get away. Pang Junyi on the side cursed in his heart after hearing this. It was not a good job to follow him into the city. Pang Junyi said in his heart that I am not the only one in the Pang family.
There is a huge Jiangnan Pang family behind him. If Song Emperor Zhao Zhen's people discover this operation, the entire Pang family will be doomed. Pang Junyi wanted to refuse, but it was difficult to refute in front of the other party.
In the end, all he could do was keep a calm face and say nothing, which was regarded as acquiescence, but in his heart he was thinking about whether he would find an opportunity to sneak away later.
But this was not Zhao Yiming's original intention. Their plan this time was to dig out all the lurking enemies in Jiangling City, and it was obvious at a glance that this Pang Junyi was not an important person, and arresting him and Wan Qixi would have no effect.
But according to what Wan Qixi means, they will not be involved in the next thing. Zhao Yiming and the others will naturally not really snatch Zhao Gou to Xia Cheng. Could it be that this long-planned plan will be wasted in this way?
No? At this moment, behind Zhao Yiming, Liu Wenyuan, pretending to be Xia Wutao, suddenly took a step forward and said coldly: "Let us do this hard work, and you will all share in the benefits. Hmph! You are quite calculating.
ah."
"This?" Liu Wenyuan's sarcasm immediately made Wan Qixi embarrassed and speechless. Pang Junyi, who was next to him, was also angry at Wan Qixi's unkindness just now. He simply turned his face to the side and pretended not to see anything.
.
Liu Wenyuan suddenly said such a sentence, but he was not acting impulsively. What Liu Wenyuan was pretending to be was Xia Wutao, a descendant of the Xia family, and Xia Wutao's character. Liu Wenyuan also knew something about it from Yu Chuan before. If it is really Xia Wutao here.
, he would definitely do the same thing with someone like Liu Wenyuan, so Liu Wenyuan's ridicule did not arouse the suspicion of Wan Qixi and others.
Wan Qixi pondered for a moment, and looking at the other party's attitude, he also knew that if he wanted to be alone again, he might not agree. In the end, he could only say with a wry smile: "In this case, I have no choice but to sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman. Yang
General Lin, time is running out. Let’s go to the city first and send someone to inform the prince later so that he can assign people to help the general.”
This is what they want. Zhao Yiming, Jiang Shanli and others, as well as Zhao Yun who was hiding in the army, all felt relieved. As soon as they entered the city, Zhao Yun would send someone to notify the troops in the city. At that time, Wan Qixi
The "them" people mentioned will definitely expose their whereabouts. As long as the mastermind behind the scenes is caught, the cancer lurking in Jiangling City can be completely removed.
On the surface, Zhao Yiming and Liu Wenyuan still showed a dissatisfied attitude. Finally, Zhao Yiming also pretended to Liu Wenyuan and said: "Okay! Xia Wutao. Mr. Wanqixi also has their difficulties. Since Mr. Wanqixi agreed to help,
We don’t want to make things too difficult for Master Wanqixi. Let’s go, time is running out, let’s get into the city as soon as possible.”
After Zhao Yiming spoke, Wan Qixi immediately felt relieved. If the other party insists on insisting on this problem, Wan Qixi really doesn't know what to do. Wan Qixi immediately led the way, leading the army like this
Entered Jiangling City quietly.
After entering the city, under the urging of Zhao Yiming's eyes, Wan Qixi immediately sent out a confidant, explained a few words, and let him enter the city first. Then Zhao Yiming nodded, and then said to Jiang Shanli, Liu Wenyuan and Liu Congxi.
: "Yu Chuan, Xia Wutao. Each of you will lead two thousand men and horses to guard the east and west sides of the city gate. Longshan, you will lead two thousand men to guard this gate. There will be no mistakes."
Neither Wan Qixi nor Pang Junyi could fault Zhao Yiming's order. After all, this city gate was the only way for everyone to escape Jiangling. It was natural for the other party to order to guard the city gate. But these words fell on the ears of Jiang Shanli and others.
, but it has another meaning, this is for him
The three of them took the opportunity to eliminate the enemies who had already controlled the south city gate, so that when they took action, those enemies would get wind of it and run away from here. These were the plans they had agreed upon before, and Jiang Shanli and the others immediately made plans for them.
Zhao Yiming cupped his fists and shouted: "I will obey your orders."
After the instructions were given, Zhao Yiming said to Wan Qixi: "Master Wan Qixi, please lead the way. We should go directly to the palace, Qingjun side next!"
"No." To Zhao Yiming's surprise, Wan Qixi shook his head and said, "We can't just go to the palace. Since Fan Zongyin and others failed last time, Emperor Zhao Zhen of the Song Dynasty has stepped up vigilance against Jiangling Palace.
Although the general's soldiers are brave, they cannot break through the palace gate if they attack forcefully."
Zhao Yiming frowned. Of course he knew this, but he couldn't figure it out. If the other party didn't attack hard, what else could he do? Could it be that like Fan Zongyin, he found a secret passage to the palace? But Zhao Yiming was very
This conjecture was quickly rejected, because since Fan Zongyin's incident, Emperor Zhao Zhen of the Song Dynasty had ordered to dig three feet into the palace in Jiangling, searching all the palaces, and no secret passage was found.
At this time, Wan Qixi had already answered Zhao Yiming's doubts. A hint of ferocity flashed across Wan Qixi's face, and he sneered: "General Yang Lin, our next target is the Song Emperor Zhao Zhenyuan."
The residence you came to is the Prince Xin’s residence.”
Prince Xin's Mansion? After hearing Wan Qixi's words, Zhao Yiming, Jiang Shanli, Liu Wenyuan and Liu Conxi, and even Zhao Yun who was hiding in the army, couldn't help but feel a twitch in their hearts. They immediately knew that Wan Qixi had obtained the information about Zhao Zhen's location.
.
Everyone's eyes looked at Wan Qixi with a hint of coldness, but Wan Qixi was too excited and did not notice this. He still explained proudly: "Originally, last time
When Fan Zongyin was involved in the incident, Ma Kuo, the left-hand minister of Emperor Zhao Zhen of the Song Dynasty, moved all the family members of Emperor Zhao Zhen to the palace for protection. I got the secret letter and they are now being taken back to Prince Xin's residence. Although Prince Xin's residence also has
There are many guards, but they are much worse than the guards of the temporary palace. They are absolutely unable to stop the general's troops. As long as the general can break through Prince Xin's mansion, capture Song Emperor Zhao Zhen's family members, and use them as hostages,
We will definitely open the palace gate and capture Zhao Zhen without spending a single soldier. We also captured Song Emperor Zhao Zhen’s family members. If we can successfully bring them back to Xinzhou, they will be able to deal with Song Emperor Zhao Zhen’s army on the battlefield in the future.
It can also play a vital role.”
Wan Qixi was chatting there, but Zhao Yun and others secretly wiped away a cold sweat. They did not expect that the enemy's thoughts were so vicious. Fortunately, they had defeated the real Yang Lin army before. Otherwise, the enemy would have succeeded.
, then His Majesty's foundation will be in danger. Zhao Yiming and others subconsciously put their hands on their own weapons. Wan Qixi's vicious plan made them want to kill this kid immediately.
But at last everyone was not too impulsive. After taking a deep breath, Zhao Yiming also coldly interrupted Wan Qixi's words and said: "That's very good. A certain family knows what Lord Wan Qixi means, then let's set off.
"
Wan Qixi and Pang Junyi stayed in Jiangling for a long time. They were very familiar with Jiangling. Soon they brought Zhao Yiming and others to Prince Xin's mansion. Looking at Prince Xin's mansion in the distance, Zhao Yiming and others were a little excited.
I have been away from home all these years, and I haven’t heard from Prince Xin’s residence for a long time. Especially Zhao Yun. He was also a frequent visitor to Prince Xin’s residence back then, but he has been ordered to guard the border of the Jinbing-occupied area this year. Those old friends from back then have not been seen for a long time.
It’s over.
Wan Qixi and Pang Junyi looked at Prince Xin's mansion in front of them, with expressions of hatred on their faces. Wan Qixi turned to Zhao Yiming and said, "General Yang Lin. That is the residence that Song Emperor Zhao Zhen used before he ascended the throne.
I got the news that some of Song Emperor Zhao Zhen's family members are all inside, and they can be captured easily with just the general's action."
Wan Qixi's words made Zhao Yiming and others feel extremely uncomfortable, but it was difficult to fall out. Zhao Yiming could only snort coldly, interrupted Wan Qixi's words, narrowed his eyes and said: "Sir Wan Qixi. Just.
I wonder when your troops will arrive?"
"Uh." Being interrupted by Zhao Yiming, Wan Qixi's face showed a little more embarrassment. However, Wan Qixi misunderstood what Zhao Yiming meant, thinking that Zhao Yiming was dissatisfied with them for delaying time, and hurriedly accompanied him.
He smiled and said: "General Yang Lin, don't worry. I believe our people will send people to assist the general soon. How about the general take action first?"
"Humph." Zhao Yiming glanced at Wan Qixi and said, "That's not necessary. We have already entered the city anyway, so it doesn't matter if we wait. We'd better ask Mr. Wan Qixi to call your men and horses quickly."
Zhao Yiming made it clear that he refused to fight first, leaving Wan Qixi with no choice. In fact, Zhao Yiming did this just to delay time. It was impossible to really attack Prince Xin's mansion. Now he must lure out the mastermind behind the opponent's mansion.
Come out and catch them all in one go.
Since everyone has said so, there is nothing Wan Qixi can do. After all, they have military power in their hands. How dare they offend Wan Qixi. All they can do is comfort them and wait anxiously. Although the army has entered the city now,
But as daybreak was approaching, how could these 20,000 people standing on the street not be noticed? By then they would be besieged by the defenders and guards in Jiangling City, and the whole plan would completely fail.
Finally before dawn, a small group of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared on the street to the left of the army. At the front of this small group of soldiers and horses, a general wearing armor who looked about the same age as Pang Junyi walked over.
Wan Qixi and Pang Junyi clasped their fists and saluted, and then bowed to Zhao Yiming and said, "Song Wan, I have met General Yang Lin."
"Song Wan?" Zhao Yiming narrowed his eyes. He had no impression of this person at all, so it was obvious that he was not a very important person.
Song Wan was an unknown soldier, but Zhao Yiming saw that the soldiers and horses behind Song Wan were all wearing fine armor and looked well-trained. There were thousands of them. Such soldiers and horses were much smaller than those in Jiangling City.
Although there are not many defenders, at the critical moment,
But it can play an unexpected role. Thinking about it now, I'm afraid this is the entire armed force in the hands of that mysterious force. Seeing this, Zhao Yiming turned back and looked at Zhao Yun who was hiding in the army, and Zhao Yun also thought for a moment.
Then he made a gesture to Zhao Yiming.
Next to Zhao Yiming, Wan Qixi, who had not noticed the movement between Zhao Yiming and Zhao Yun, said to Zhao Yiming with a joyful face: "General Yang Lin, now that we have all the men, can we start taking action?"
Seeing Zhao Yun's gesture, Zhao Yiming already knew what he was doing. He turned back to Wan Qixi, raised the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Of course, since you have shown enough sincerity, we will not shrink back.
Let’s do it.”
Wan Qixi and others didn't feel much about Zhao Yiming's words of action. They thought Zhao Yiming meant to let his troops attack Prince Xin's mansion. However, they didn't expect that as soon as Zhao Yiming finished his last words, a sound broke through the air.
sound
In the blink of an eye, Song Wan, who had just arrived, fell off his horse. There was an arrow on his arm, and it shot directly through his arm. It hurt.
Song Wan was left tossing and turning on the ground, screaming.
