Chapter 1239 Jia Heng: What a white lotus saint, just a witch
Jinan Fucheng
As all the officials in the city took action and began to dispatch troops and generals according to Zhang Dai's words, the entire governor's office and the generals' school began to be busy.
Zhang Dai added: "Zhongcheng, in case someone opens the city gates, all the city gates can be blocked from the inside with earthen walls, bricks and stones. If spies want to open the city gates, they will have no way."
When Zhao Qi heard this, he was shocked again. He thought about the pros and cons and said, "What should we do if the army wants to come in?"
Zhang Dai's eyes were fierce and he said in a deep voice: "Just wait for the officers and soldiers to arrive, and then we can open it up. This must be done as soon as possible. Through this process, the damage caused by the internal capture of the city will be minimized."
Zhao Qin's eyes flickered under his thick eyebrows, and he said loudly: "Then follow Zhang Qian's wishes."
After thinking about it, Zhao Qi's eyes showed some eagerness and he said: "Zhang Qianshi, I have ordered you to be fully responsible for the defense of the city."
Zhao Qi thought for a while, gritted his teeth secretly, said, took the token from his waist, and said: "I allow you to call the king's flag. If the Lieutenant General in Fancheng disobeys the military order, you can take it."
Since the city gate is blocked, it means that Jinan Fucheng has completely become a dead city. If the city is destroyed, he, the governor, will only be three feet of white silk.
Zhang Dai took the token with a serious expression, clasped his fists and said: "If you are brave enough, I would like to ask Master Zhongcheng to keep your eyes open for the next two days. As long as you hold on until the Denglai Navy comes over, the siege will naturally be solved."
Zhao Qi nodded and said thoughtfully: "What Zhang Qianshi said is true. I will definitely be inseparable these days."
Once the city of Jinan is destroyed, one's property and one's life will be at risk.
Zhang Dai put on a plastic surgery and calmed down his expression, raised his hands and said, "My lord, please rest in the government hall for now. Later, you will go to the city head to inspect the city."
"Go." Zhao Qi said firmly with admiration in his eyes.
Then, Zhang Dai led the Jinan Prefecture Guards to inspect the defense of the city gate.
…
…
At this moment, in the land outside Jinan City, logs and bamboos were erected to build a wooden village. The gates of the village were equipped with antlers, and the surrounding area was surrounded by ravines and covered with iron caltrops to prevent the enemy from approaching.
But twilight falls like a curtain. Above the vast sky, a bright snow-white moon is in the sky, with a few stars sparsely dotted. In the open space, there are clusters of bonfires on the white military tents, and the soldiers are walking back and forth in admiration.
The collision made a crashing sound, and the neighing of horses could be heard from time to time around the barracks.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, it was a crowded and dark place. Also lined up were the former Jining Guards, Tai'an Guards and Yanzhou Guards' generals, in addition to Li Yanqing and several other brothers.
There are also several elders in the White Lotus Sect. The leader is named Pei Yuan. He is in his early forties, with mixed black and white hair, a thin face, and sharp eyes under his broken eyebrows.
There is also an elder sitting below, called Tao Shiye, who is also an elder of the White Lotus Sect. He is wearing monk's clothes that are very similar to those of Elder Pei. Both of their clothes are woven with special patterns and have a flower embroidered on their sleeves.
White lotus.
Chen Yuan asked: "Elder Pei, the city said that at midnight tonight, a fire will be raised on the top of the city as a signal."
Pei Yuan's droopy eyelids gradually opened, his eyes moved slightly, and he said: "Don't worry, sir, tonight, this insider is a close associate of Zhao Qi, the governor of Shandong, and we will make an appointment to start an uprising at the west city gate tonight."
Because Our Lady of the White Lotus gave Chen Yuan the authority to mobilize the White Lotus Sect before the uprising, so in name, the two elders of the White Lotus Sect had to cooperate with Chen Yuan's movements.
Chen Yuan nodded and said: "Then at midnight tonight, we will go straight to the west gate and capture Jinan Fucheng in one fell swoop."
As he spoke, he looked at Li Yanqing, who was sitting on a chair with the old god beside him, and said: "General Li, this pioneer officer has troubled the brothers under General Li."
Li Yanqing stood up and said firmly: "Don't worry, sir, I will be the first to enter the city of Jinan."
Because the White Lotus Sect had rescued Li Yanqing in the first place, Li Yanqing also maintained a superficially respectful attitude toward Chen Yuan.
And Hauge, with his majestic face, said: "My soldiers are also quite brave, so they can enter the city first."
Chen Yuan nodded and was about to agree.
Li Yanqing looked solemn and said: "No need, Li's brothers can capture Jinan Fucheng."
Under Hauge's thick eyebrows, his tiger eyes flickered, and a strange color appeared on his face.
The person in front of me should be the person who disrupted the situation in the Han Dynasty and the Central Plains. Looking at it this way, he is indeed a hero, rarely seen in the world.
Chen Yuandao: "Prince Su, let your brothers recharge their batteries. Once the city is broken, we will capture several senior officials in Shandong and take their heads to sacrifice to the flag!"
After everyone had finished planning the siege, Hauge, Chen Yuan, Li Yanqing and others left the military tent to wait for news.
At this moment, he was sitting on the saddle, looking up at the city wall of Jinan Fucheng with swaying lights in the distance, pondering for a moment, and asked: "It's this time, why is there still no movement in the city?"
Chen Yuan persuaded: "My lord, please don't be anxious. The event in the city is scheduled to happen at midnight. My lord, it won't be too late if you don't want to wait any longer."
Hauge put up a awning on his forehead with one hand and said in a deep voice: "This kind of internal business is the most prone to accidents."
Chen Yuan said: "Your Majesty, there are countless followers of the White Lotus Sect in Jinan Fucheng. Your Majesty, you don't need to worry too much."
Hauge nodded and said, "Then wait a little longer."
In this way, we waited until midnight, when the sky was getting dark, and a bright moon was shining in the vast sky. The bright silvery moonlight shone on the open plain, and occasionally a few turtledoves chirped in the woods.
At this moment, it was obviously midnight, except for the dense lights that occasionally passed by on the top of the city, which seemed to be a military academy on patrol at night.
There are still no signs of major chaos in the city of Jinan Prefecture.
Hauge frowned, his eyes flickered, and he looked at Chen Yuan aside and asked: "Is there... something happened in the city?"
Chen Yuan thought for a while and said in a clear voice: "Maybe we should wait until dawn. There was no agreed time before."
Hauge pondered for a moment and whispered: "Then...wait a little longer?"
In this way, Hauge, Chen Yuan, and the White Lotus cult members waited all night, but there was still no news about the uprising of the White Lotus cult members in Jinan City.
The next day, the sun rose in the east, and the golden morning light shone on the earth. Many soldiers began to pick up their swords and move quickly. From time to time, the noisy sounds of soldiers coming and going could be heard.
With two dark circles under his eyes, Hauge turned to look at Chen Yuan and said, "It seems that something happened in the city."
Chen Yuan also looked helpless at this moment and said: "Let's attack the city as usual today."
Hauge turned to look at the city. Under his thick eyebrows, his eyes flickered coldly and said: "It seems that he underestimated the guards in this city. He must have thought of ways to screen and eliminate spies."
After Hauge and Chen Yuan's troops had breakfast, they began to take action one after another.
"Attack the city!" Chen Yuan gave the order.
"Dong dong dong..."
As he spoke, the sound of drums was as dense as raindrops, and black and red flags roared. The soldiers raised their ladders and attacked the city wall in a mighty manner.
At this moment, looking down from a high altitude, it can be seen that they are also wearing Han army uniforms, but in order to distinguish them from the Han army, they all have a piece of white cloth wrapped around their arms.
A large number of soldiers with bright armor, holding a long knife, braved the stones thrown from the top of the city and climbed up towards the towering city wall.
Then the screams continued.
Above Jinan Fucheng, Zhang Dai, the newly promoted head of Jinan's defense, is now fully clothed in armor and holding a sword at his waist. He stands on the top of the city. The surrounding defenders of Jinan Fucheng are standing ready with weapons in hand.
"Whizzing!!!"
The crossbow opened, and the arrows attached to it rained down for a while, hitting the attacking soldiers, exploding into clouds of blood mist, and screams were heard from time to time.
At this moment, Zhang Dai was also leading his soldiers to patrol the top of the city, supervising the battle back and forth.
Above and below the city, the battle was tense for a while, with swords and guns clashing. From time to time, dense clanging sounds could be heard, and occasionally the sound of swords entering flesh, followed by screams.
Zhang Dai directed the men on the top of the city to pour the boiled golden juice on the heads of the soldiers on the ladder, and the smelly excrement water was poured on the soldiers' faces, accompanied by screams one after another, and each one was soaked in water.
The soldier's face lit up.
"Boom!"
At this time, on the protruding turret of the city gate tower, accompanied by the sound of cannons, the French cannon also fired at the soldiers in the distance.
The soldiers below suddenly fell on their backs.
The thick smoke dissipated.
As for the Hongyi cannon, such important military equipment is not in Jinan Fucheng.
The siege battle between the two sides lasted from morning to noon. Only then did Hauge call for gold and withdraw his troops, and together with Chen Yuan, he summoned all the soldiers to return.
Jinan Fucheng——
Seeing that the attacking soldiers retreated from the city almost like a tide, Zhang Dai breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly: "All armies are on alert, let's stop fighting."
At this time, each of the strong men brought up the prepared big meat buns and fine wine for the soldiers present to eat.
"Sir, Master Zhao, please come over." At this time, the deputy general came closer and said loudly to Zhang Dai.
General Zhang Dai nodded, handed over the affairs in hand to the deputy general, and without saying much, went down to the top of the city.
Zhao Qi was already at the inn not far from the city gate. Food and wine had been laid out. He and Shandong Chief Envoy Peng Bingyu and the officers of the governor's Yamen went out to greet him in person.
"General Zhang, the food and wine are ready. Let's take a seat first." Zhao Qi said with a smile on his face and extended his hand.
Zhang Dai looked frightened and said, "Master Zhao has really defeated the weakest general."
Zhao Qi smiled and said: "General Zhang is wrong. General Zhang is a hero in defending the city. As long as Jinan City is protected, I will definitely recommend General Zhang to the palace as the governor of this province."
He saw the offensive and defensive battle just now and saw that the Zhang Qianshi in front of him was indeed a general in his own right.
Zhang Dai cupped his hands and said: "The merits of the last general are not enough, so you should not be valued so highly."
Zhao Qi extended his hand to invite him, with a smile on his face, and said repeatedly: "You deserve it, you deserve it. General Zhang will take a seat first, finish the food and wine, and then fight with the rebels."
Zhang Dai nodded without saying much, and then sat down.
Let’s not mention that Zhao Qi and Zhang Dai were having wine and food together, but they said that outside the city of Jinan Prefecture, in the military tent——
The expressions on the faces of Hauge and Chen Yuan were not very good. Jinan Fucheng is a big city, with high walls and deep trenches. It would take only three to five days to fill it with human lives, and it would not be possible to capture it.
Hauge said: "The navy of Denglai Guards will send reinforcements soon. We have to break the city as soon as possible."
Among the Shandong prefectures, not all the guards followed the rebellion. For example, the guards commanders and generals in Qingzhou and Yizhou were close subordinates of Shi Nai. Although the White Lotus Sect launched rebellions among the middle and lower-level generals,
After a fight, the two generals temporarily suppressed the situation.
It's just because there are only five or six thousand soldiers and horses in one guard. After being damaged, there is no more strength left to support Jinna's Jinan Mansion.
For example, where Governor Denglai is stationed, there are nearly 50,000 Denglai naval forces responsible for the security of the entire northern sea area. After continuous reorganization, they have not been infiltrated too much by the White Lotus Sect.
The one left behind now is Mu Sheng, the crown prince of Dongping County.
Chen Yuan's eyes flickered under his sharp eyebrows, and he said in a deep voice: "What the prince said is true, we don't have much time left to attack the city."
"We need to find a way to capture Jinan Fucheng as soon as possible." Hauge said coldly with a fierce look under his thick eyebrows.
Chen Yuan sighed and said: "I came in a hurry this time, so I didn't bring the trebuchet. It would be nice if I had a red cannon."
The other guards not only lacked the Hongyi cannon, but also lacked the Folang machine cannon, which was far less powerful. They were quite disadvantaged in terms of firepower.
Hauge pondered for a moment and said: "In the afternoon, let the troops and horses strengthen the siege and capture Jinan Fucheng in one fell swoop."
After the two had decided on their plan, they began to mobilize soldiers and prepare to attack the city with the soldiers and horses under Jurchen and Li Yanqing.
Having said that, he didn’t say much else.
At this moment, on an official road somewhere in Qingzhou Prefecture, three hundred miles away from Jinan Prefecture, there were about two to three thousand cavalry in front, followed by infantry in the rear.
Because the strength of the Denglai Navy was all sailors, and there was a serious shortage of horses in the camp, Denglai Governor Mu Sheng mobilized 20,000 troops and horses to support. The infantry slowed down the marching speed, and it was ultimately a bit slower.
"Your Majesty, after passing the mountain in front is the boundary of Jinan Prefecture." Mu Sheng's family general Mu Chen stood aside and said.
Mu Sheng said in a deep voice: "It's too slow. I don't know if Jinan Fucheng has been destroyed. Have the scouts sent out come back?"
"The scouts reported that there is no abnormality in Jinan City." Mu Chen, the family general, said.
Mu Sheng frowned and said: "Jinan Prefecture has a lot of soldiers and horses, so it should be able to stop it. However, this time several guards have rebelled, which shows that the White Lotus Sect has penetrated deeply into the local guards."
Mu Chen reminded: "Your Majesty, we are soldiers of the navy. We have rushed to Jinan Fucheng. We should wait for the soldiers and horses from the Beijing camp."
Mu Sheng shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The military situation is like a fire. If there is an internal response in Jinan Fucheng, the city will be destroyed in a matter of seconds. If we arrive in time, the city can be saved. When Duke Wei leads the army, we can still defeat it."
Can calmly deal with the situation."
Mu Chen worriedly said: "But just in case..."
"Nothing goes wrong. I'm going to eat the emperor's salary and take care of the emperor's worries." Mu Sheng's face was solemn, his eyes were sharp under his thick eyebrows, he waved his hand and interrupted.
After hearing this, Mu Chen couldn't say anything else.
Mu Sheng's calm eyes seemed to be looking through the mountains and mountains, towards Jinan Fucheng in the distance, and whispered: "Send a few more rounds of scouts to check the situation, and be careful of the rebels encircling the area for reinforcements."
Mu Chen raised his hands and said yes.
…
…
At this moment, Zezhou, Shanxi
With the flags blowing in the wind, the army was vast, and a large number of cavalry were encamped on the spot, accompanied by the sound of horses neighing.
Chen Xiao said: "News came from Jinyi Prefecture. In addition to Qingzhou and Yizhou, Denglai Navy, Jining, Tai'an, Dongchang, Caozhou and other prefectures and counties have all fallen into the hands of the enemy."
Jia Heng said: "All the soldiers and horses in the guard station have been infiltrated by the White Lotus Sect. They really have a profound background."
Next to him is the Saint of the White Lotus Sect, who is quite familiar with the White Lotus Sect.
Chen Xiao glanced at Jia Heng coldly and said: "It can be said that everything has been exposed this time. Chen Yuan was also driven into panic by you. He fought several big battles last year, and it seems that the country and the country are becoming more and more stable."
"If they had taken the opportunity to start an uprising last year, there would still have been a chance of success, but by delaying it until now, the opportunity has been lost." Jia Heng said coldly.
As he said that, he looked at Chen Xiao and said in a deep voice: "Jinan Mansion should be under siege. We need to be prepared that Jinan Mansion has been defeated."
Chen Xiao nodded and said: "If the city of Jinan is destroyed, then only Denglai Navy and Qingyi Prefecture will be left to attack from both sides. How likely is it to succeed?"
Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said: "The Jurchens will not give up this opportunity. They should also attack across the sea from North Korea. A flanking attack is probably out of the question."
Chen Xiao's eyes were full of water, and there was a look of thought on his face.
Jia Heng said: "Li Shu, let Qu Lang's men come over. I want to ask questions."
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." Li Shu's face moved slightly and he clasped his fists in agreement.
At the beginning, Jia Heng sent Qu Lang to Shandong to track down Li Yanqing, and together with Henan Commander Qu Guangqing to suppress the rebellious people of the White Lotus Sect.
Jia Heng said: "Have your war food first, and then go to war immediately."
As they talked, they sat down and started eating.
After a while, a young man with a burly figure and a clear face came slowly over, his face was calm and he said: "I have seen the governor in my humble position."
Jia Heng nodded slightly and asked, "Tell me about the organizational structure of the White Lotus Sect?"
Well, I obviously have a daughter-in-law who is a saint of the White Lotus Sect, but I can't ask about the organizational structure of the White Lotus Sect. I am also worried that it will be difficult for Xiaoxiao to do it.
"The White Lotus Sect has branch churches and rudders in Jinan Mansion and other palace guards. The leader is the Holy Virgin White Lotus. There are five elders under her. I heard that there is also a Holy Virgin White Lotus with unparalleled beauty and mysterious identity." The young man looked slightly.
Move and speak.
The corner of Jia Heng's mouth twitched and he scolded: "What White Lotus Saint is, just a witch, but also unparalleled in beauty?"
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, it's a shameful statement." General Jinyi's expression suddenly changed and he said.
Someone in the Jinyi Mansion said that the Governor was fond of sexual intercourse. He just acted cleverly, which made him hate the Governor.
As Jia Heng successively took the daughter of King Meng, Ya Ruo, and the daughter of King Zhou, especially nuns such as Miao Yu, into his room, Jia Heng's reputation as a "lascivious" person spread.
Of course, this is also the normal effect of the previous "Xiao He's self-defeating" plan.
Chen Xiao was listening to the words of the Jinyi palace guard. The corners of his mouth twitched at the cold and frosty jade face. He wanted to punch Jia Heng. Who is the witch?
Why didn't you say she was a witch when you fucked her?
Jia Heng pondered for a moment, his eyes moved slightly, and asked: "Did the Jinyi Mansion know about their infiltration in the guardhouse in advance?"
The young general shook his head and said honestly: "Back to the Governor, Commander Qu once sent people to track down the situation of the guards, but the clues were interrupted, so we can only follow up and investigate slowly."
A thoughtful look appeared on Jia Heng's face, he waved his hand and said: "Okay, you can go down and let the Shandong Guards continue to collect information about the White Lotus Sect without making any mistakes."
After the young general left, Jia Heng looked at the sultry beauty beside her and couldn't help but chuckle.
Even at such a young age, he is still so childish.
"You're still laughing." Chen Xiao snorted slightly, seeming a little embarrassed.
"Isn't it good that she is unparalleled in beauty? When the time comes, I will capture that white lotus witch and make her your maid." Jia Heng said in a low voice with a calm look under his sharp eyebrows.
Chen Xiao snorted coldly and said, "I'm afraid the maid in charge of the intercourse is someone else."
He went to see his senior sister that day, and maybe something else happened.
Jia Heng asked: "Where did this statement come from?"
Chen Xiao took a deep look at Jia Heng and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Recharge your batteries. We will set off later."
