Chapter 045 Night Attack on the Governor's Mansion
The servants held torches, and An Changgui was placed inside the governor's mansion and quickly opened the door of the governor's mansion.
An Changgui rushed into the governor's mansion with his private servants, but after searching the governor's mansion for a long time, he could not find Zhang Xian and his family at this time.
At this time, the always calm An Changgui also panicked. Zhang Xian was not found, nor was the seal and official robe representing the governor. What was the use of occupying the governor's mansion?
However, An Changgui had to remain calm. He said to the two clan leaders, Yang Shizhong and Wu Hao:
"Prefect Zhang has always been loyal to his duties. He must still be at the Governor's Mansion in the middle of the night. Please bring people to search carefully!"
"promise!"
The two men, along with their private soldiers and servants, began to search and stand up in the Governor's Mansion. At this time, Zhang Xian, the governor of Guazhou, had already been taken out of the Governor's Mansion by the player.
When Zhang Xian saw Li Yan in armor, he immediately knelt down and said: "I was lax in my command and was revolted. I am guilty!"
After saying this, the honest man Zhang Cishi began to shed tears and said: "I never thought that these three thieves would be so rampant! They dared to attack the governor's mansion."
After saying this, Zhang Xian continued: "Your Highness, the three thieves Anyang and Wu are definitely rebels, but these three families have many relatives and friends in Guazhou. I ask your highness not to get too involved!"
Zhang Mian was indeed an honest man. Even the governor's office was beaten, and he still reminded Li Yan not to create a big prison.
However, Li Yan did not intend to completely kill all the local powerful men. He helped Zhang Xian and said, "Don't worry, Governor Zhang. The lonely king only kills the culprits and will never implicate others for no reason!"
At this time, I heard Zhou Hao leading a team of people, holding a loudspeaker and shouting from door to door:
"King Jianning put down the rebellion! Only the first culprit will be killed! Those who follow will be innocent!"
The voice echoed in the streets and alleys of Guazhou City. Li Yan ordered all the soldiers to hold two torches. The firelight illuminated half of Guazhou City. The several wealthy families who were still hesitating immediately stopped their troops.
The Mao family is also a wealthy family in Guazhou. The steward of An Mansion knelt in front of the head of the Mao family and said:
"The master said that the reason why the Anyang and Wu families raised the rebel army is because the King of Jianning in Guazhou is a fake! The real King of Jianning has been killed by Uighur bandits!"
"Now that I have captured the Governor's Mansion, I have received the order from the Grand Administrator and will soon send out troops to surround the Moli Military Camp!"
"Please pretend to be the leader of the clan and send troops quickly!"
The head of the Mao family was sitting in the lobby, looking at the steward of the Mansion who was kneeling below.
Of course he knew that all these were excuses, but An Changgui took control of the governor's office and was considered a master.
Moreover, the Mao family has been married to the Anyang, Yang and Wu families for generations, and his eldest daughter-in-law is the daughter of the Yang family.
The Mao family's daughter married An Changgui's nephew.
The head of the Mao family went to these secret meetings in person. As soon as the head of the Mao family came out of the An mansion, An Changgui led his troops to rebel.
I really feel like mud fell into my crotch, it’s either shit or shit.
But pretending to be the patriarch does not want to get involved in An Changgui's rebellion. This is a serious crime of beheading!
Dasuo Maungyue only paid additional money and grain, and King Jianning calculated the land tax according to the land law and did not apportion more to the big households.
The leader of the Mao family settled the score in his mind. If the uprising really succeeds, those three families will have the biggest cake.
My family couldn't get any substantial benefits, so I hesitated for a while.
At this moment, a close servant rushed in.
"Sir! Grand Administrator Zhang and Prince Jianning are on their way to the Governor's Mansion to quell the rebellion!"
What!
The tea cup in the Mao clan leader's hand fell to the ground, and he immediately said: "Chief Zhang and King Jianning are together?"
"What I saw at first glance! King Jianning has mobilized Moli's army and has already marched towards the Governor's Mansion!"
The leader of the Mao clan was already very shaken, and he heard someone shouting outside the mansion:
"Prince Jianning's order: Only the first culprit shall be punished! Those who follow will be innocent!"
After hearing these words, Chief Mao strengthened his determination. He pointed at the steward of An Mansion who was kneeling on the ground and said:
"Someone, take this guy down!"
"Impersonating the clan leader! If you don't do anything right now, it will be too late to regret it!"
The boy stuffed a dirty cloth into the mouth of the steward of An Mansion, and pretended to be the clan leader and sat dejectedly in the hall.
In order to risk dozens of clan members, he naturally did not dare to rebel. At this time, he could only wait and see what happened.
The fire dragons gathered by Li Yan's army frightened these powerful clans who were about to waver, and prevented them from falling to Anyang Wu and the three families for the time being.
Zhang Mian also put on his armor and walked side by side with Li Yan, and some people who had planned to support An Changgui also retreated.
Zhang Xian had governed Guazhou for several years and was quite prestigious in the local area. Although he had a cowardly character, he was still the imperial governor of Guazhou.
When Li Yan led Mo Lijun and the players to surround the governor's mansion, An Changgui, who was still in the governor's mansion, also panicked.
Zhang Xian had already taken out the governor's office and joined Li Yan, which confirmed the identity of the three families as rebels.
An Changgui climbed onto the corner tower of the Governor's Mansion and saw that Li Yan's troops were in good order, and felt a chill in his heart.
There was no news from the envoys he sent out to request the major families to send troops, and they were obviously shocked.
At this time, Yang Shizhong was completely panicked. He said, "Uncle, what should I do?"
An Changgui said calmly: "Stick to the Governor's Mansion and wait for dawn. We still have private soldiers outside the city, and they will enter the city after dawn! As long as there is chaos in the city, those swaying wallflowers will fall to us!
"
"As long as you stick to it, there is hope!"
The governor's mansion in the Tang Dynasty was built according to military strongholds. After hearing An Changgui's order, Wu Hao immediately asked people to move out and block the gate of the governor's mansion.
He also arranged elite private soldiers to defend around the city wall of the Governor's Mansion, and ordered the archers to board the turrets.
"Light the bonfire!"
An Changgui ordered his men to light a bonfire in the courtyard wall of the governor's mansion. The fire illuminated the blind spots in the governor's mansion to prevent King Jianning from sending people to sneak attacks.
At this moment, An Changgui finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the big families in the city waver again and there are people fishing in troubled waters in the city, An Changgui will still have a chance!
With 600 elite private soldiers and 200 elite soldiers under his command, can't he still defend a governor's mansion?
Moreover, An Changgui also secretly contacted other wealthy families in Longyou and brought them a plan to attack and kill King Jianning to claim credit for the crown prince. As long as they arrived, King Jianning's men would not be a concern!
Xue Cheng climbed up to the newly built tower next to the Governor's Mansion, frowned and said to Li Yan: "The thieves are well guarded and equipped with military longbows. If we attack by force, we will probably suffer a lot of casualties."
Li Yan also frowned. If the players under his command died, they would have to wait until they accumulated luck points to summon them again.
And Mo Lijun was a great athlete of the Tang Dynasty, so it was not worth dying under such a small act.
However, if the rebellion cannot be put down quickly, changes may occur later.
At this time, a soldier walked up to Li Yan and said, "Cui Jishi, do you want to see me?"
Cui Jishi? Cui Tao? Cui Tao has been promoted to the rank of Marching Sima, isn't he asked to guard the gate of Guazhou?
The soldier added: "It's Cui Sima's sister. She said that His Highness has sealed her from the position of recorder."
