Everyone worked together to kill the purple-robed killer outside Sikong Mansion. Then they returned to the main hall of Sikong Mansion.
Su Ling was covered in sweat, and the others also looked grim.
Guo Baiyi frowned slightly and paced back and forth. In the distance, chaotic howls and screams could be heard from time to time on the street.
Riots are still continuing, and evil spirits are still killing unarmed people.
Su Ling pulled Guo Baiyi and whispered: "I wanted to use the Ziyi Sect and Chengtian Temple as chess pieces. I never thought they would have such a shocking conspiracy. Instead, I became their chess pieces..."
Guo Baiyi let out a long sigh and lowered his voice: "The matter has come to this, it's too late to regret it! I hope Brother Su will put the overall situation first and stop claiming that Sikong knew and acquiesced to Long Huang's collapse!"
Su Ling sighed and whispered: "I understand..."
He then turned back to Huang Kuijia and said, "Brother Kuijia, you have brought back five hundred Hantian guards. What will happen to Sikong's safety in the other courtyard?"
Huang Kuijia hurriedly said: "My lord already knew about the changes in Longtai, so he ordered me to lead the Xingtian Guards to return to the rescue. As for the other courtyard, more than 80 elite Xingtian Guards were left behind. Those thieves just thought that the lord was in Sikong Mansion and wanted to come to the other courtyard."
Nothing will happen to the hospital."
Su Ling felt a little at ease now.
... ... ... ...
Fifty miles outside the east city of Longtai City.
The branches of Longtai Mountain form three relatively broad mountain ridges here.
Condescendingly, on the three mountain ridges on the left, middle and right, there are three military camps with flags and flags of different colors.
On the left side of the military camp, the Chinese army's tent is displayed high with the flag of the Chinese army commander - Marquis of Jingnan, Qian. On the side are two flags of the deputy commanders, embroidered with two big characters - Gan and Cheng. The flags and flags are all blue.
.
In the military camp on the ridge on the right, the Chinese army tent raised the banner of the Chinese army commander - An Guohou, Liu.
There are also two flags and flags of the deputy commander on both sides, each with the big characters embroidered on them - Qi and Wen. The flags and flags are all in soap color.
Both of these military camps are not large in scale. Looking at the continuous radius, there are about two to three hundred people in each.
There is also a military camp stationed on the mountain ridge in the middle, but it is much larger than the military camps on the left and right sides. It stretches on the mountain ridge, with flags waving and hunting sounds.
There are also three flags in the main tent of the Chinese army. In the center is the commander's flag, with a letter - General, Shen.
There are two flags and flags of the deputy commander on the left and right sides respectively, with the letter - Wen and Zhang. The flags and flags are all red.
It can be seen from their flags that there are two military camps on the left and right. The left side is the Jingnan force and the elite of Jingnan Marquis Qian Zhongmou; the right side is the Yangzhou force, An Guohou and Yangzhou Mu Liu Jingsheng's force.
The two territories are bounded by the Jingxiang River, Qiannan to the south and Liubei to the north.
The two families have always been secretly competing with each other. Although they are trying to devour each other and there are constant frictions, fortunately, they are not at odds with each other openly and they are getting along well.
Today, the princes of the two factions also went to the Longhuang Poetry Festival at the invitation of the emperor. The two families separated their troops from each other across the mountain ridge.
On the mountain ridge in the middle, the one with the strongest military force is the General, the elite of Bohai Marquis Shen Jizhou, five hundred cavalry, known as the invincible in the world - the Halberd Guards.
Shen Jizhou was relatively friendly with the Qian and Liu families, so they lined up on the mountain ridge in the middle to serve as a buffer for the two families.
Moreover, there was no one in the sky above the commander's desk in the Chinese army's tent. It turned out that Shen Jizhou was not there and had also gone to the meeting.
On the left and right sides, there were two deputy commanders in heavy armor, laughing and talking about something.
The left side of the body is more than eight feet long and powerful. Looking at the face, there is no shining head. Not only that, he also has no eyebrows or beard. From a distance, he looks like a hairless old monster.
This person is one of the deputy commanders, known as one of the four heroes of Bohai - General Wenliang;
The man on the right is seven feet long. Although he is wearing heavy armor, he has a handsome face. His body is not as strong and powerful as Wen Liang's, but his eyes are deep and he has the demeanor of a Confucian general.
This person is General Zhang Wuyi, the first Confucian general under Shen Jizhou and one of the four heroes of the Bohai Sea.
Wenliang had a hot temper and no ideas, but he fought bravely, and hundreds of people on the battlefield were not allowed to approach him.
But I heard him complaining to Zhang Kuanyi: "Tell me, my lord doesn't allow us to drink, but we went to the Longhuang Poetry Club to drink the royal wine of that day. I don't know how many days it will take for us to come back. What's going on in my mouth?" Why don’t you just fade away like a bird!”
Zhang Chunyi smiled faintly and advised: "Brother Wen is brave and generous. If you don't drink some wine, you are indeed missing something. But before my lord leaves, I will entrust all the five hundred halberds to you and me." Man, this place is no better than Bohai. The situation is complicated. Not to mention the deeply entrenched Xiao Yuanche, the two families in our mountain ridge are not easy to mess with! Brother Wen should be more patient. When the lord returns, can I give you a good drink? drink?"
Wen Liang then tilted his bald head a few times and said helplessly: "That's all, that's all, of course it doesn't matter what you're doing. I'm a bit depressed, so I won't drink. I'll go out to hunt some hares at night to satisfy my cravings!"
The two are talking.
At this moment, a loud roar was suddenly heard, resounding throughout the sky.
The entire mountain ridge and the earth trembled, and the loud noise echoed for a long time.
Zhang Chuanyi and Wen Liang looked at each other, their expressions changed, and they hurried out of the tent and looked around, only to see thick smoke billowing from Longtai City, and waves of fire surging into the sky, especially in the direction of the Forbidden Palace, which was a sea of flames and smoke.
The two men looked stern and were about to call their men when they saw a scout running over in a hurry. When he saw the two men, he knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "Report! Report to the two generals. For some reason, a violent incident occurred in Longtai City. The explosion, looking at the direction, it should be the Forbidden Palace Longhuangtai. Now the Forbidden Palace is in chaos, the news is cut off, the entire Longtai Kyoto is also in chaos, the people are fleeing everywhere, please give me instructions from the two generals!"
"What are you going to say? Longhuang Tower exploded? Who is plotting it? What about my lord?!" Zhang Buyi's expression changed drastically, he grabbed the scout's collar and yelled.
The scout looked horrified, sweating like rain, and stammered: "Longtai is in chaos. We can only inquire from the outside. We really don't know the situation in the forbidden palace. It's just... just this explosion, a sea of fire." I'm afraid it's the lord... The lord is in serious danger..."
"You bastard! What nonsense are you talking about! If you disturb the morale of our troops, push them out and kill them!" Zhang Buyi roared and lifted the scout to the ground with his kick. The sergeants on the left and right had already held down the scout and dragged him away. .
Wen Lianghu's eyes widened angrily, and he yelled: "Okay! Okay! I thought the emperor was kindly entertaining your lord, but I never thought that he would set up such a poisonous plan. It seems that my lord is more likely to be in trouble than in danger! Zhang Chuyi, we should Quickly raise your troops to break through Longtai City, break into the palace, and save our lord!"
Zhang Chuanyi's expression changed several times, his thoughts surged in the flash of lightning, and he remained speechless.
Wen Liang had a hot temper, but he couldn't wait any longer. He suddenly returned to the tent, took out his two weapons, yelled, and went to assemble the army.
Zhang Buyi had quick eyesight and quick hands, so he grabbed him and said urgently: "Brother Wen! Wait a minute! Don't be impulsive!"
Wen Liang roared: "Zhang Chuyi, I always respect you as a man, but now that the situation is urgent, you are a coward who cherishes his life. If you don't go, you will guard the military tent, and the labor and management will lead the troops to level the Longtai!"
Zhang Chunyi clung to Wen Liang and said earnestly: "Brother Wen! Brother Wen! Don't be impatient! You and I both know what kind of weight this emperor has. How could he have such courage to make such a decision?"
A poisonous plot? What good will this do to him?"
When Wen Liang heard this, he was stunned on the spot.
Although he was rude, he still had some sense. After listening to what Zhang Buyi said was reasonable, he said: "Then according to you, whose plan was it to explode the Dragon Huangtai!"
Zhang Buyi narrowed his eyes slightly and said word by word: "From my perspective, Xiao Yuanche's may be even greater!"
"What! What a thief! I will never be a human until I take his head!" Wen Liang yelled and went to order some troops.
Zhang Chunyi said anxiously: "Brother Wen, please listen to me! The situation in Longtai is in chaos now, and the life or death of the lord is uncertain. We have rashly sent out troops. If something happens to the lord, I will be a good fortune teller. But if the Lord is fair and safe,
If we rashly send out troops, if we are caught by someone with ulterior motives, it doesn’t matter to you or me what we are responsible for, but how will our lord deal with it!"
Zhang Duyi said earnestly: "Brother Wen, we don't consider these things, but Longtai is the capital of the Jin Dynasty, and the city defense is strong. We halberd guards are all cavalry, and it is natural to attack on land. But if we attack the city
, I'm afraid I'm not good at it. Assuming this is Xiao Yuanche's poisonous plan to force us to take action, he must have a heavy army waiting for us. By then, the siege of the city will be impossible. We are still talking about it, but aren't we falling into it?
He's got it!"
"Then what do you think we should do? We can't send out troops. Why don't we just wait without sending out troops? Will our lord not be saved?" Wen Liang looked sullen and waved his fist in the direction of Longtai City.
Zhang Chunyi said in a deep voice: "The soldiers will definitely be sent out, and the city will be attacked, but the time has not come yet, so wait a little longer!"
"What are you waiting for! The cucumbers will be cold if you wait any longer!" Wen Liang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Zhang Buyi grabbed Wen Liang's hand and said: "Brother, if you believe me, follow me to the big tent and wait. There will be results within a few moments! If there is still no results by then, if brother sends troops, Wu Yi will not stop him."
!”
Wen Liang had no choice but to hold his breath, return to the tent with Zhang Buyi, and just sit there trying to get his luck.
Zhang Chunyi's face was as dark as water, and his eyes were stern.
After a while, the curtain suddenly came together, and someone flew out to report: "Report! Report to two generals. There are two generals Gan Jinfan and Cheng Gongjin under Jingnanhou, and two generals Qi Dai and Wen Tiezheng under Yangzhou Mu, asking to see you!"
Zhang Chunyi smiled faintly and said firmly: "They are the ones waiting for you! Hurry! Please..."
... ... ... ...
The main hall of Sikong Mansion.
Everyone was resting when a scout suddenly flashed through the door and stumbled in, rolling and crawling, covered in blood.
When everyone saw this, their expressions became serious, knowing that something big must have happened.
But when the scout saw Guo Baiyi, he bowed his head and said in a panic: "Report! Repay the wine, something serious is going to happen!"
Guo Baiyi frowned and said anxiously: "Speak quickly!"
"Bohai Shen Jizhou's generals Wen Liang and Zhang Buyi; Yangzhou Liu Jingsheng's generals Qi Dai and Wen Tiezheng; Jingnan Qian Zhongmou's generals Gan Jinfan and Cheng Gongjin have joined forces and are now attacking the east gate of Longtai! City Gate School Captain Guo Zhun saw that the situation was urgent and ordered his subordinates to break out of the tight siege of the Purple Clothes Sect and come to report!"
When Guo Baiyi heard this, his hands trembled, he stood up and asked anxiously: "Is there going to be a fight?"
"Not yet! The three families gathered together, and there were about a thousand of them, all elites. Colonel Guo expected the enemy to be strong and did not dare to go out lightly. He ordered to build a high suspension bridge and defend the east gate. However, if they attacked again, I'm afraid the east gate..."
Guo Baiyi nodded and said in a deep voice: "Go back quickly and tell Guo Zhun not to attack. Reinforcements will be here immediately!"
The scout agreed and went.
After he left, Guo Baiyi looked gloomy. The situation was now grim. All available troops from the City Patrol Division, Shadow Division, Fifth Army Superintendent's Office, and Beijing Camp Guard were in the city to suppress the rebellion of the Purple Clothes Sect thugs. I couldn't pull myself away, but I didn't think about the waves that were coming up again and again.
Guo Baiyi was helpless, and now he had no troops left.
Su Ling suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice: "How many people are there at Dongcheng Gate Colonel Guo Zhun's office?"
Guo Baiyi said: "There are about two hundred people!"
Su Ling nodded, turned to Huang Kuijia and said anxiously: "Brother Kuijia, the purple-clothed rebels have fled, and there are troops and horses from all over the town surrounding the town. I think it will be okay to come to Sikong Mansion. Su Ling thought that one hundred regret guards would stay behind. That’s it. Brother Kui Jia will take the remaining four hundred Han Tian Guards and rush to the east gate to support them! We must prevent those three armies from entering the city!”
Huang Kuijia glanced at Guo Baiyi, who nodded and said: "For the present plan, this is the only way. Kuijia must remember that if there is a battle, the battlefield must be outside the city. If these wolf soldiers enter the city, I am afraid that Longtai will immediately Fallen!"
"Huang Kuijia understands! I'm going to kill these birdmen right away!" After saying that, Huang Kuijia held two iron halberds and left the main hall to lead his troops to the east city gate.
Su Ling was thinking a lot, and suddenly said: "Brother Kuijia, stay here! I have a plan, please read it carefully!"
As soon as he said this, Guo Baiyi, Guo Baiyou, and Cheng Gongjun all looked at Su Ling with good eyes.
Su Ling didn't look flustered at all and said in a deep voice: "Yangzhou Liu Jingsheng and Jingnan Qian Zhongmou, their power is only separated by the Jingxiang River, and Qian Zhongmou's father Qian Wentai died under Liu Jingsheng's general Huang At the hands of Jiang Xia, although the two families are currently at peace, they have been at odds for a long time. I would like to send a wise and brave man to follow Brother Kuijia to the east city gate, lower the city, and go to Gan Jinfan's camp. , provoke them with words, and when the time comes they will form an alliance and rebel, and the danger at the East City Gate will be resolved!"
When everyone heard this, they all praised him in their hearts.
Guo Baiyi clapped his hands and praised: "Su Ling's plan is very clever, but who should be sent there?"
Su Ling looked stern and said: "Su, do your duty!" This chapter has been completed!
