Chapter 704 The first step [I wish you all stay childlike forever]
"Zhenhai Camp and Pioneer Camp have already received support from their younger brothers, and now with the support of Brother Wu, great things can be accomplished."
Hou Chengzu was full of confidence, but he didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
But Jiang Guan slapped his thigh.
"broken!"
When Hou Chengzu and Wu Zhikui looked over, he explained in a dumbfounded manner.
"The previous discussion was to launch a night attack in the city, and then we would respond. But now everyone in the Jinshan Guard is rebelling. Once the city attacks, we may accidentally injure one of our own people."
After hearing this, Hou Chengzu and his two men couldn't help but change their expressions.
"What should we do?"
Fortunately, Jiang Guansu was quick to think of an idea.
"Now that the entire Jinshan Guard is under our control, Lu Quan and others are meat on the chopping block. I think we don't have to wait for a night attack in the city. Let's take the lead and capture Lu Quan and others.
.”
When Hou Chengzu and Wu Zhikui heard this, they praised him for his kindness.
"Brother, I will go back and contact the troops now. We will take action in half an hour."
After the discussion, Hou Chengzu left in a hurry, and Dingbo Camp began to prepare nervously.
In the dark night, Hou Chengzu was thinking about important things and did not notice anything strange.
As he walked by, a person flashed out of the dark shadow in the corner, looking at his whereabouts suspiciously.
Then the man turned around and went straight to the general's tent.
"My lord, I have something important to report."
This man rushed into the tent and woke up Jinshan Guards General Lu Quan.
Lu Quan drank some wine in the evening and was sleeping like crazy. He was suddenly shaken awake, and he got up with a grunt, shouting and drinking.
"The thief is coming, please protect me and leave!"
The man was stunned and said quickly: "Senior General, it's me, I'm Hong Enbing."
Lu Quan finally calmed down a little. After seeing this person clearly, don't get angry immediately.
"Boss Hong, if you don't have a good rest in the middle of the night, why are you here pretending to be a ghost?"
Hong Enbing was scolded a lot, but he didn't care.
"Sir, I just got up at the end of the night and accidentally saw Hou Chengzu going to Dingbo Camp, and then to Zhenhai Camp. I am afraid that this man is ambitious and has evil intentions!"
When Lu Quan heard this, he immediately understood the big deal.
"No! This Hou Chengzu is afraid that he will destroy our lives."
My family knows my family’s affairs.
Since Lu Quan took office as the general of Jinshan Guard, he has been having many conflicts with the Hou family.
He tried several times to suppress the Hou family, but the Hou family was deeply entrenched in Jinshan Guard, leaving him with nothing to do.
At the same time, the Hou family also resented his greed and cruelty, but because he had the title of general, the Hou family had no choice but to do anything about it.
But it's different now.
When the army is out on an expedition, it is not uncommon for accidents to happen on the battlefield.
The Hou family's hands and eyes in Jinshan Guards are all-powerful. If they really take this opportunity to kill him, they won't even have a place to complain.
Lu Quan hurriedly got up and looked around for clothes.
Just as I was putting on my pants, I suddenly heard a scream in the distance.
Then countless people shouted loudly.
"Seize Lu Quan, don't let this thief escape!"
Lu Quan and Hong Enbing were shocked immediately. Without any time to think about it, they hurriedly escaped from the camp.
As soon as he came out, he ran into soldiers rushing towards him.
"Lu Quan wants to run, catch him!"
Seeing the soldiers rushing forward with force, Lu Quan pushed Hong Enbing over.
How could Hong Enbing have imagined that Lu Quan would treat him as a scapegoat when he came to report the news with good intentions.
He was completely unprepared and stumbled out, only to see the soldiers who rushed towards him slash him with their swords.
He didn't even scream and died on the spot.
If history does not change, when the Qing troops besieged Jinshan Guard more than ten years later, it was this man who rebelled and opened the city gate, which led to the fall of Jinshan Guard and the death of the Hou family and his son.
As a result, here today, Hou Chengzu's soldiers killed him with a sword.
I don’t know if this is a cause and effect cycle?
Lu Quan didn't feel any guilt. With Hong Enbing's obstruction, he turned around and ran away.
It was night, and it was so dark that he couldn't see his fingers. He couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north and south, but he achieved unexpected results.
The pursuers from behind rushed over, but could not find any trace of him for a while, so they had to spread out and search carefully.
Lu Quan had already run out of the camp and into the wilderness. Using the cover of weeds and reeds, he used all his strength to run as far as he could.
Even though he is usually pampered and fat, now he has unleashed his infinite potential in order to escape.
When daylight came, he opened his eyes and looked around, but he didn't know where he had gone.
Anyway, the surrounding wilderness was vast and inaccessible, and the biting cold wind hit his naked belly, making his lips turn blue from the cold.
Lu Quan wanted to cry but had no tears, so he pushed aside the tangled grass and staggered all the way.
He was not sure whether he could survive or not?
Although Lu Quan was not killed or captured, under the mobilization of Hou Chengzu and Wu Zhikui, Jinshan Guard successfully completed the mission.
In the middle of the night, the musketeers led by Wang Ruixian and Li Chongtian arrived, but what they saw was a brightly lit military camp.
This time they led the musketeers, who were selected from among the workers.
Although there were still more than 400 people, they both knew very well that tactics like night attacks valued people more than more people.
But because of Jinshanwei's rebellion, the night attack plan fell through.
"With the participation of the Jinshan Guard brothers, we have greater confidence in this battle."
Wang Ruixian and Li Chongtian were overjoyed to get an army out of thin air.
Hou Chengzu saw the weapons of the Musketeers and immediately understood the difference between master and slave.
"Mr. Wang, Director Li, from today on, our brothers will be under your command, and we will be free to make decisions. I only ask you two gentlemen to preserve the vitality of my Songjiang family, and don't let this damned imperial court be ruined."
Wang Ruixian liked this young man very much.
"General Hou, you can still choose to sacrifice your life for righteousness when a disaster is approaching. You are indeed a rare and loyal person. After this battle, I will definitely recommend you to the commander-in-chief. Now that the world has changed drastically, it is a talented person like you who will
An opportunity to help the world."
Hou Chengzu was extremely excited.
"Little brother...can I also meet the commander-in-chief?"
Hou Chengzu was already familiar with Zuo Menggeng's articles and deeds.
He has always regarded Zuo Mengeng as his idol.
Li Chongtian laughed loudly.
"The commander-in-chief likes talents like you the most, and in our Shandong province, meritocracy is a meritocracy. With your talents, you will definitely be able to show your talents."
The people from both sides gathered together, and after discussion, they all returned to Songjiang Prefecture.
Although they achieved a small victory, in terms of the overall situation, the army still took the initiative.
However, with the help of Jinshan Guards, Wang Ruixian and others were more confident in defending the city.
But just as they were returning to the city, Qu Ye and others also came to Fucheng.
Countless people followed.
After listening to Qu Ye's story, everyone knew what kind of evil things the imperial court had done that outraged both humans and gods.
