That night, dark clouds covered the moon, and I couldn't see my fingers.
He Rensheng and several of his cronies, dressed in royal guard uniforms, took advantage of the night to sneak outside the gate of the Supervisory Army Mansion. After raising their hands and gently knocking on the door, they were immediately opened and welcomed in.
After entering the Supervisor's Mansion, He Rensheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that everything went smoothly and he should not have been discovered.
However, He Rensheng did not know that shortly after he entered the Supervisory Army Mansion, more than 200 strong men with sharp blades and black scarf masks lurked nearby and secretly surrounded the entire Supervisory Army Mansion.
These masked strong men are all Peng Ji's military henchmen and private soldiers under his command.
A massacre is about to begin.
Peng Ji himself quickly arrived nearby. He first took a look at the situation at the Supervisory Army Mansion, then turned around and asked, "How is the situation? Has the Supervisory Army Mansion been completely surrounded?"
Peng Ji's private soldier leader named Peng Quan replied softly: "Brothers have successfully completed the siege and set up a dragnet. We will never let anyone escape from the Supervisory Army Mansion!"
"Have the people overseeing the military mansion noticed anything unusual?"
"Our actions were very covert. The useless guards in charge of the Supervisory Army Mansion didn't notice anything unusual at all, and they didn't take any precautions!"
"Where are the patrolling garrison nearby?"
"We have all found reasons to be transferred in advance. When we take action, there will never be any disturbance near the Supervisory Army Mansion!"
Peng Ji hesitated for a moment and then ordered: "Send some more people to the west of the Supervisory Army Mansion to prevent General He's military affairs from being affected. If the people from the General Military Mansion find anything unusual, send someone out to investigate.
If there is news, we will keep them all back... After the fire breaks out in the Supervisory Army Mansion, we must do our best to prevent the fire from spreading to the General Military Mansion!"
It turns out that three hundred meters west of the Supervisory Army Mansion is the core of the entire Jinzhou camp - the location of the General Military Mansion of Liaodong Town.
Although He Yu has been killed, He Yu's family members still live in the General Military Mansion.
There are only twenty or thirty Jin Yiwei in the Supervisory Army Mansion. The Jin Yiwei can still show off their power in other places, but in Peng Ji's eyes, they are just a bunch of embroidered pillows that are worthless. Tonight's action is calculated again.
It was unintentional, so Peng Ji believed that there was absolutely no possibility of failure when he took action.
The only thing Peng Ji is currently worried about is that the He Yu family papers in the General Military Mansion not far away will be affected, and it will be difficult to end it by then.
Peng Quan was also aware of the importance. He immediately nodded in agreement and then turned around to adjust the deployment.
*
Just like that, another quarter of an hour passed, and when everything was arranged properly, several confidants around Peng Ji turned to look at Peng Ji.
Just waiting for Peng Ji to give the order, they will lead people directly into the Supervisory Army Mansion and massacre all the people in the Supervisory Army Mansion in the shortest possible time!
However, under the gazes of several confidants, Peng Ji could not help but hesitate and retreat.
Seeing Peng Ji's expression changing, he thought to himself: "If you think about it carefully, tonight's action was all based on Zhao Junchen's verbal orders. If things are revealed in the future, I don't even have the means to drag him down.
When the time comes, Zhao Junchen can refuse to admit his guilt, easily abdicate his responsibility, and even add insult to injury to me... So not only do I have to do the hard work with my own hands, but I also have to bear all the risks. It is really unfair...
Speaking of which, in the Jinzhou camp, I am the local vigilante with soldiers and power, while Zhao Junchen has no soldiers and power, not even a dragon crossing the river. Am I too passive in front of him?
?Maybe... I should find a way to counter Zhao Junchen first, and then take action against the Supervisory Army Mansion..."
As he was thinking this deeply, Peng Ji became increasingly hesitant and did not issue an order for a long time.
Ultimately, Peng Ji has long lost his courage and determination because of He Yu's repeated suppression for many years.
What's more, after all, Yao Rang is the eunuch who oversees the army and represents the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Although Peng Ji seems not to take the eunuchs in charge of the army at all on the surface and has long proposed the idea of killing people to silence them, in fact he also
It was the first time I had done something like this, and I still couldn't help but feel guilty when it came to the end.
And just when Peng Ji was hesitating, something unexpected happened.
In the distant Supervisory Army Mansion, a door suddenly opened, and ten guards in royal robes quietly left the Supervisory Army Mansion one after another, seemingly wanting to go out for some activities.
Seeing such an unexpected and abnormal situation, Peng Ji couldn't help but change his expression!
He didn't know why these Jin Yiwei suddenly left the Supervisory Army Mansion, but he knew very well that he could never let these Jin Yiwei act as they pleased.
This is the Jinzhou camp, and there are no terrains such as woods and valleys to hide troops. Therefore, Peng Ji's intimate private soldiers are currently hiding at the corner of the road near the Supervisory Army Mansion. If these ten Jinyi guards are allowed to move as they please, it will be very difficult for them to hide their troops.
Peng Ji's secret arrangement will soon be discovered.
Peng Quan's expression also changed drastically. Seeing that these ten Jinyi guards were gradually approaching the hiding position of his own troops, he repeatedly urged: "Lord Guard, I hope you will make a decision as soon as possible!"
When things got to this point, it was too late for Peng Ji to retreat. He finally stopped hesitating and waved his hand fiercely: "Do it! Kill them all! Leave no survivors!"
As Peng Ji finished speaking, Peng Quan immediately put his fingers into his mouth and blew a whistle.
The next moment, Peng Ji's private soldiers who were lurking near the Supervisory Army Mansion finally stopped hiding their tracks and rushed out from the darkness one after another, wielding sharp blades and heading toward the Supervisory Army Mansion!
Everyone was silent and full of murderous intent!
At the same time, dozens of crossbows were aimed at the ten Jinyi guards in the distance, and the arrows were fired!
*
These ten "Jin Yiwei" who had just left the Supervisory Army Mansion were naturally He Rensheng and others.
After some exchanges with Yao Rang in the Supervisory Army Mansion, the result was that He Rensheng was greatly disappointed.
In short, what Yao Rang said about the secret connection between Zhao Junchen, Peng Ji, and Wu Jiyun is largely based on speculation and there is no conclusive evidence.
Therefore, after some exchanges between He Rensheng and Yao Rang, they felt that they were wasting their time and quickly left.
After leaving the Supervisory Army Mansion, He Rensheng walked quickly towards his station and said to the people around him: "...just in case, we still have to send people to keep an eye on Zhao Junchen and Peng Ji during this period.
, Wu Jiyun and others! Especially Zhao Junchen, although Eunuch Yao’s statement is just based on speculation, I can’t believe that Zhao Junchen will always keep his peace!”
The person next to He Rensheng is named Wang Kang, who is an ordinary military attache in the Jinzhou camp. Among all the military attachés still loyal to He Yu, he is considered to be the one with a firmer stance, so He Rensheng also attaches great importance to Wang Kang and will
Give some key tasks to Wang Kang to perform.
After hearing this, Wang Kang showed hesitation and said: "I think we'd better not act rashly. Now we are only targeting Wu Jiyun alone, and we are already somewhat powerless. If we continue to distract Zhao Junchen and Peng Ji, once they are provoked
The hostility between the two..."
At the same time, the other two garrison military attachés also nodded in agreement.
Seeing this situation, He Rensheng frowned slightly and sighed secretly in his heart.
After He Yu's death, even a relatively loyal military attache like Wang Kang inevitably showed signs of wavering in his stance, unwilling to serve with all his strength, and always wanting to reserve a way out for himself.
If not, He Rensheng would have forced Wu Jiyun to hand over Liu Xiong to him.
But now, He Rensheng has no other choice. He cannot forcefully ask for it, he can only ask kindly.
However, before He Rensheng could speak again, Wang Kang suddenly changed his expression, stretched out his hand to block He Rensheng's forward steps, and said in a solemn voice: "The situation is not right! Everyone, be careful!"
He Rensheng was shocked when he heard this, but before he could react, he heard a whistle in the distance.
The next moment, dozens of arrows were fired like a torrential rain. Despite Wang Kang's advance warning, several people in He Rensheng's group were injured by arrows, and two others were shot in vital parts of the body and died on the spot.
!
He Rensheng was pulled by Wang Kang in time and was not injured by the arrow. However, when he looked up, he was shocked to find that hundreds of masked men with sharp blades and murderous intent suddenly poured out from everywhere around the Supervisory Army Mansion!
These masked men were all wearing the uniforms of the Liaodong Town Border Army, and they were obviously the garrison of the Jinzhou Camp. However, they all covered their faces with black scarves, so it was impossible to tell who they were under.
And just when He Rensheng was panicking and losing his mind, the second wave of arrows shot out again, and several screams were heard around him. It was obvious that another person was injured by the arrow, and the masked men emerging from everywhere were approaching quickly.
It's about to come to a head-to-head fight.
At the moment of life and death, He Rensheng finally regained his consciousness and did not bother to wonder whether the target of these masked men's attack was himself or the Supervisory Army Mansion. He just shouted urgently: "Retreat! Go back to the Supervisory Army Mansion! Can you still return to the Supervisory Army Mansion?"
Have the power to resist! Otherwise we will be living targets!"
After saying that, He Rensheng took the lead and ran towards the Supervisory Army Mansion. Wang Kang and others also followed suit, guarding him on the left and right.
They had just left the Supervisor's Mansion, and they did not waste too long in making the decision. Under normal circumstances, they could have retreated to the Supervisor's Mansion, and then they could use the walls of the Supervisor's Mansion to avoid missing arrows.
However, the Supervisory Army Mansion did not seem to notice the abnormal situation outside. At this time, the door of the palace was closed, with no sign of opening it again.
When He Rensheng and others finally rushed to the door of the Supervisory Army Mansion with the third wave of arrows, no matter whether they shouted for help and banged on the door, or slammed the door with their bodies, the door of the Supervisory Army Mansion was still tightly closed.
Locking it has no intention of opening the door to save people.
During this period, two more waves of arrows were fired in succession!
After five consecutive waves of arrows, Ho Ren-sheng and his party of ten people suffered heavy casualties. Only three people, including Ho Ren-sheng, managed to survive, and all of them were injured by arrows. Even Ho Ren-sheng was hit by an arrow in his waist!
Wang Kang, who was recruited by Ho Ren-sheng to help him, was killed by an arrow in the head as early as the third wave of arrows.
Seeing that the door in front of him was motionless, He Rensheng's expression was full of despair.
He turned his head and looked behind him again, only to find that a large number of masked men holding sharp knives had already rushed in front of him!
"My life is at risk!"
At the moment of life and death, He Rensheng showed a look of determination. Seeing the sharp blade right in front of him, he neither defended nor resisted. Instead, he reached into his arms and quickly took out something and stuffed it into his mouth.
Afterwards, He Rensheng tried his best to blow with all his strength!
"Hai Xiu~~Hai Xiu~~!"
In the quiet night, a crisp whistle sounded through half of the Jinzhou Camp!
This whistle was the warning signal agreed between He Rensheng and his military allies in Jinzhou Camp.
The next moment, there were just a few "puff" sounds, and several sharp knives had been stabbed into He Rensheng's body.
The whistle suddenly stopped.
*
"How is that possible! The Jinyiwei are just a bunch of embroidered pillows! Why are they so brave!"
Seeing He Rensheng blowing the whistle before his death, Peng Ji opened his eyes in disbelief and exclaimed in a low voice.
He did not know that the people who were attacked and killed were not the real Jinyiwei, but He Rensheng and others wearing Jinyiwei uniforms, otherwise Peng Ji would have been even more shocked at this time!
In Peng Ji's original idea, after several consecutive waves of arrow rain attacks, most of these "Jin Yiwei" should be dead or injured. Even if someone survives by chance, they must be panicked and stunned, and then they will be attacked by follow-up attacks.
The private soldiers under his command slaughtered them all.
Who would have thought that the performance of these imperial guards was completely beyond expectations. Not only did they discover their own hidden forces in advance, but they were also able to continue to act with courage even when they were about to die.
You can even blow the whistle to warn someone regardless of the situation!
And now as the whistle sounds, all the garrison troops in Jinzhou Camp will soon notice the abnormality in the Supervisory Army Mansion, and maybe they will come to investigate the situation soon.
Although Peng Ji had already arranged for troops loyal to him to be stationed in the camp to control the situation, and Zhao Junchen would personally come to assist, Peng Ji did not know how long these arrangements could delay the situation.
All in all, there is not much time left for Peng Ji.
But when the situation developed to this point, Peng Ji had no way out, so he simply rushed out with a knife in his hand and sternly issued an order: "Everyone, hurry up and act. You must hurry up before the troops from all sides arrive to inspect.
The price is to kill every living person in the Supervisory Army Mansion! Fight in! Break down the door! Climb over the wall! Let me fight everyone in!"
Following Peng Ji's order, the masked private soldiers moved faster and faster, either working together to hit the door of the house, or borrowing ladders to climb over the wall.
But the subsequent development of the situation once again exceeded Peng Ji's expectations.
No matter how hard Peng Ji's private soldiers tried to knock on the door, the gate of the Supervisory Army Mansion remained motionless. It seemed that the back of the gate had long been blocked by heavy objects, and it was impossible to break it open by human power.
At the same time, the masked private soldiers who climbed over the wall screamed in pain and screamed the moment they jumped into the Supervisor's Mansion. It seemed that a trap had been set behind the wall.
For a time, the small Supervisory Army Mansion, with a defensive force of only twenty or thirty uniformed guards, left more than two hundred private soldiers under Peng Ji helpless! Not only did it fail to break through quickly, but it suffered heavy casualties!
Peng Quan quickly ran to Peng Ji and said urgently: "Peng Shou, the situation is not right! The situation is definitely not right! The Supervisory Army Mansion has obviously been on guard for a long time, and the defensive force in the Supervisory Army Mansion is definitely not only twenty or thirty people.
The Jin Yiwei is so simple! The brothers who climbed over the wall and entered the Supervisory Army Mansion suffered heavy casualties, not just because of the traps. The humble post heard the sound of frequent firing of crossbows. Judging from the frequency of shooting, the only people in the Supervisory Army Mansion were armed with crossbows.
The defensive strength is no less than fifty people!"
After hearing what Peng Quan said, Peng Ji seemed to realize something, and his expression immediately changed.
Then, Peng Ji no longer bothered to speak in a suppressed voice, and immediately shouted loudly: "Retreat! Retreat! All retreat! There is a scam here!"
After saying that, Peng Ji turned around and ran away.
However, it was too late.
Just as Peng Ji turned around and ran for a few steps, he heard the sound of intensive horse hooves running from all directions outside the Supervisory Army Mansion, and a large number of cavalry rushed nearby.
Judging from the momentum and rhythm of the hoofbeats, these cavalry are all elite, and most likely they are the Liaodong Iron Cavalry under Wu Jiyun!
Obviously, Zhao Junchen did not play his role and stepped in to block Wu Jiyun and his Liaodong cavalry as agreed.
Moreover, Wu Jiyun and the Liaodong Cavalry appeared so quickly that even the garrison troops loyal to Peng Ji had no time to catch up and stop them. They were obviously well prepared!
When the situation has developed to this point, no matter how stupid Peng Ji is, he still understands that he must have been plotted by Zhao Junchen!
Subsequently, the gradually clearer shouts and shouts as the Liaodong cavalry quickly approached also confirmed Peng Ji's conjecture!
"The Liaodong Iron Cavalry was ordered to suppress the rebellion! Only the chief culprits will be killed! The rest will surrender quickly!"
"The Liaodong Iron Cavalry was ordered to suppress the rebellion! Only the chief culprits will be killed! The rest will surrender quickly!"
"The Liaodong Iron Cavalry was ordered to suppress the rebellion! Only the chief culprits will be killed! The rest will surrender quickly!"
Suppress the rebellion...kill only the culprits...
Rebellion...the culprit...
After hearing such shouting, Peng Ji's face became even paler. After being stunned for a long time, he finally shouted with an angry expression: "Zhao Junchen! You actually want to cross the river and demolish the bridge and plan to harm me! If you let me escape this disaster,
, they will definitely be incompatible with you and will fight to the death!"
*
Till death.
So, Peng Ji died.
About half an hour later, surrounded by civil and military officials, Zhao Junchen rushed to the vicinity of the Supervisory Army Mansion to inspect the situation.
Zhao Junchen sat high on the horse, looked down at the dead body of Peng Ji at his feet, and asked in a cold voice, knowingly asking: "What is going on?"
Wu Jiyun, who was responsible for suppressing this "rebellion", also cooperated with the show. He raised his hands and replied with a serious expression: "Information to Minister Zhao that Peng Ji, the former Jinzhou garrison, planned a rebellion and led his private soldiers to attack the General Military Mansion and the Supervisory Military Mansion at the same time! The humble official noticed it.
After the abnormality, he quickly led his troops to come to support, and finally saved everyone in the Supervisory Army Mansion, but..."
Zhao Junchen's expression became more solemn and he asked: "But what?"
Wu Jiyun lowered his head and said: "Although my humble position saved everyone in the Supervisory Army Mansion, He Rensheng, He Qianhu, Wang Kang, Wang Qianhu, Li Shunjie, Li Qianhu and others were all attacked and killed. They all died in the rebellion of Peng Ji's private soldiers."
Under the arrow!
At the same time, there were even more casualties at the General Military Mansion. When Peng Ji raided the Supervisory Army Mansion, he also sent people to raid the back house of the General Military Mansion at the same time. A total of seventeen people from General He's family members died.
Among them were General He’s two adult sons, and several elders of the He family were also killed.”
"Oh? It's so tragic?"
Zhao Junchen raised his eyebrows, looking a little surprised.
In fact, Zhao Junchen was not surprised by the heavy casualties in the General Military Mansion, but was surprised by the small number of casualties in the General Military Mansion.
The attack and casualties at the General Military Mansion naturally had nothing to do with Peng Ji. Peng Ji was only responsible for taking the blame.
The people who really took action were Wu Jiyun and his confidants!
Just when Peng Ji led his private soldiers to attack the Supervisory Army Mansion, Wu Jiyun also took the opportunity to raid the General Military Mansion not far away with a group of confidants because Peng Ji had demobilized the nearby patrolling defenders in advance.
Everything that happened tonight was a deal between Zhao Junchen and Wu Jiyun. Wu Jiyun assisted Zhao Junchen in controlling the Jinzhou camp, while Zhao Junchen assisted Wu Jiyun in personally avenging the He family.
Zhao Junchen had already been mentally prepared, thinking that Wu Jiyun would definitely take the opportunity to massacre all members of the He family, and no one, old, young, women, and children would be spared - you know, the conspiracy that led to Wu Shanqi's death on the battlefield was also involved in the He family.
Many people are involved!
Unexpectedly, Wu Jiyun only killed He Yu's two adult sons and a group of He family elders.
He Yu is the son-in-law of the Jiangmen Li family, and his two adult sons are both born to the daughters of the Jiangmen Li family. He Yu is obviously afraid that the Jiangmen Li family will use his two sons to gradually ignore him, so he has never paid attention to these two sons.
They were not even arranged to enter Liaodong Town to hold military positions.
Under such circumstances, He Yu's two adult sons have always been incompatible with each other, and they have always had a bad relationship with Wu Jiyun. During the years when Wu Jiyun once lived in the He family, he would be privately troubled by these two people from time to time.
Therefore, Zhao Junchen was not surprised that Wu Jiyun would take the opportunity to kill them.
But as far as Zhao Junchen knows, He Yu has a total of three sons. In addition to his two adult sons, there is also a young son who is only nine years old. The biological mother of this young son is He Yu's concubine, so He Yu does not have to worry about his relatives.
factors, on the contrary, they have high hopes.
Zhao Junchen listened to Wu Jiyun's words at this time, and he obviously spared the life of He Yu's youngest son.
Noticing the surprise in Zhao Junchen's heart, Wu Jiyun said expressionlessly: "Repay kindness with kindness, and revenge with hatred! The youngest son of the He family, I want to raise him personally because of my humble position!"
What Wu Jiyun meant was that He Yu had ruined his family, so he wanted to ruin He Yu's family now. However, He Yu did not kill them all at the beginning, but instead spared Wu Jiyun's life. No matter what He Yu's considerations were at that time.
, Wu Jiyun will not kill them all now, but will adopt He Yu's youngest son, just like He Yu adopted him back then.
After guessing what Wu Jiyun was thinking, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but shook his head gently and didn't bother to pay attention to the grudges between the Wu and He families.
The relationship between the two families was too twisted for Zhao Junchen to understand.
What's more, Zhao Junchen can't think about these unimportant things now.
The current situation in Jinzhou Camp is extremely difficult!
What happened that night was nothing less than a violent earthquake for Jinzhou Camp!
He Rensheng died, and some of He Rensheng's military allies also died, at the hands of Peng Ji;
Peng Ji died, and a large number of Peng Ji's confidants also died, killed by the Guan Ning cavalry under Wu Jiyun;
Even He Yu’s family members who stayed in Jinzhou Camp General Military Mansion also suffered heavy casualties!
The troops stationed in the camp who were loyal to He Yu and Peng Ji were shocked, angry, suspicious and frightened after receiving the relevant news. At this time, signs of mutiny were quickly appearing.
While Zhao Junchen was having a question and answer with Wu Jiyun, a Liaodong cavalryman from Baihu hurried to Wu Jiyun's side and reported urgently: "Wu Qianhu, something bad is going wrong! Something bad is going wrong! Yi He Ji and Liu Cheng
Many garrison military attachés headed by Qianhu have already assembled thousands of troops, claiming that they will attack the garrison in one fell swoop and massacre everyone in the garrison. Why do the clan members seek revenge!
There are also Ma Gang and Zhao Yi, two thousand households, who also joined forces in one place and took the opportunity to control the military supplies and stated that they would not listen to anyone's orders again... Although our Liaodong cavalry is elite, our strength is too small.
, Gradually it is no longer possible to suppress the situation!”
The He Ji and Liu Cheng mentioned by the Liaodong Cavalry Hundreds are both military attaches still loyal to He Yu in the Jinzhou camp. Among them, He Ji is also He Yu's distant nephew. As for Ma Bang, Zhao Yi
The two garrisoned thousands of households, and they were both Peng Ji's military henchmen.
Obviously, as He Rensheng, Peng Ji and others died one after another, these military attaches went berserk and out of control.
Wu Jiyun also changed his expression after hearing this, turned to look at Zhao Junchen, frowned and said: "Zhao Gechen, I have too few troops under my humble command. If too many troops mutiny in the Jinzhou camp, I am afraid that I will not be able to control it!"
Zhao Junchen also had a solemn expression, but he was not too panicked. Instead, he looked up at the night and murmured: "Look at the time, it's almost there!"
Wu Jiyun was stunned and asked: "What's coming soon?"
The next moment, another Liaodong cavalryman came in a hurry, bringing good news to Wu Jiyun and answering Wu Jiyun's questions.
"Wu Qianhu, good news! Great news! Yan Zhen Yan Qianhu has led his Liaodong cavalry and three thousand garrison troops back to the Jinzhou camp. He has now controlled the area near the north gate of the camp. He sent a messenger,
He said he wanted to join forces with Wu Qianhu to control the situation in the camp!"
After hearing this, Zhao Junchen smiled and nodded, saying: "Not early, not late, the time is just right!"
After Wu Jiyun was stunned for a moment, he looked at Zhao Junchen again with eyes full of awe.
Afterwards, Wu Jiyun lowered his head and asked for instructions: "How will I control the situation in the camp next? Please give me your instructions, Minister Zhao!"
