Opposite the pier where Tang Kuo joined forces, on the corridor below the city wall, Yang An'er was riding his horse.
Behind him were hundreds of horsemen following him, their iron hooves pounding the dirt road intensively, making bursts of roaring sounds, which was heart-stirring.
The dirt road is firmly rammed, and there are stone slabs on the edge. The stone slabs are very neat, and there are traces of careful filling in the damaged areas. On one side of the corridor, the houses in the city are more decent than those in ordinary small counties. The local people in the streets and alleys
The residents don't seem to be rich, but they are always getting by.
As for the desolation and depression outside the city, it is due to the general trend of corruption, natural disasters and man-made disasters, and it has nothing to do with the governance of one place. In such a world, it is not easy for a small county to achieve this level.
This is neither the work of Tang Kuo nor Yang An'er, nor the work of the local county magistrate, but is attributed to Zhang Rou. This Dingxing County is the ancestral home of Zhang Rou. Although Zhang Rou himself led the ethnic group to the east of Yizhou Mountains
Liuzhai protects itself, selects strong men, and forms a team to defend itself, but the tribesmen are left in Dingxing County, not only to repair bridges and roads, but also to prevent bandits from committing crimes.
After the Tiewa Ganzhan Army stationed in Dingxing County, Zhang Rou had several polite dealings with Yang An'er through her connections with the people of Jing'an.
Yang An'er's troops have been stationed in Dingxing County for more than a year and have always been very cautious and low-key.
First of all, Yang An'er himself is a powerful man in Shandong, and he knows very well the potential of powerful people in such places when the imperial court is weak. It is as easy as raising one's arms and calling on all the people to follow.
Although Yang An'er claims to be a strong dragon, he does not want to be an enemy of these local snakes. If he wastes the cronies he has accumulated over the years in Hebei, it will not be beneficial to the anti-gold cause.
Secondly, Zhuozhou is adjacent to the Daxing Prefecture of Zhongdu and controls the dangers of the Western Mountains. Based on the momentum upstream, it has been said to be superior to Hebei since ancient times and is a place of great concern from all sides. No matter how weak the imperial court is, in Zhongdu and Jinshan Prefecture,
There are still permanent guards, escort troops, armed guards, mighty troops and even Chi troops from subordinate tribes. The total number is more than one hundred thousand?
Although Yang An'er's troops are elite, they are far from enough to fight against the imperial army. If you want to do big things, you must hide your minions and wait for a suitable opportunity.
The opportunity is now.
At the local level, due to their previous deliberate friendship with Miao Daorun, Zhang Rou, Jing Anmin and others, although these people did not dare to participate in the big move, they would not become an obstacle. The day before yesterday, Jing Anmin deliberately led his five hundred soldiers to leave
They had been entrenched in Dafang Mountain for a long time and moved to Langshan Village in Yizhou, which clearly showed their intention to do whatever they wanted.
Among them, I have to thank Zhang Rou for his consideration. A few days ago, some local clans that were closely related to Zhang Rou had already found an excuse to go out. Yang Aner saw that they were interested and did not stop them.
Tang Kuo joined forces with this guy, and after arriving in Dingxing County, he exploited the land without restraint, which had long aroused the dissatisfaction of many people in the local area. Presumably, Zhang Rou was also happy to see Yang An'er venting his anger for him.
In terms of the imperial court's military deployment, there happens to be a gap at the moment.
In recent months, Mongolian scouts have frequently traveled south of Xuande, apparently preparing for the next large-scale invasion. Jinshan defense envoy and Marshal Quan Youdu Superintendent Hu Gaoqi repeatedly warned the court.
Just ten days ago, the imperial court sent Shuhu Gaoqi's old boss, the famous general Wanyan Gang, as Shangshu Zuocheng, to Jinshan to save trouble. Many soldiers and horses from Zhongdu were constantly dispatched to Jinshan to be included in the complete
Under Yan Gang's command, the troops transferred to Zhongdu from other places are still wandering around.
With this, the Jin army in the direction of Zhongdu no longer has to worry.
What is particularly satisfying is that in Shandong, the old enemy Wanyan Chenghui is now serving as a casualty in Dadu. Wanyan Salara, who succeeded him as the commander-in-chief of the Shandong Army, also received an order from the imperial court at this time to mobilize 20,000 troops.
, go to Zhongdu.
Yang An'er and his companions have carefully calculated that if everything goes well, when our side invades Shandong, Wanyan Sala's troops will arrive in Zhongdu instead. In this way, our side will be able to do it with ease, whether it is criticizing the weak or calmly gathering the crowd.
.
As for the Jin Army south of Zhongdu Road and even Hebei Road... there is no need to worry. They are already extremely weak, and the weaker they are, the more they can only focus on what is in front of them. Those who had fought with Yang An'er at Guchengdian before
Guo Ning's subordinates are now constantly recruiting troops to expand their strength. They are the suspicious people who are closely watched by the officials in various towns, Fangzhou and Cizhou!
Are there any other oversights? Are there any sudden accidents?
Yang An'er held the reins and slowly thought about it again.
No more, everything has been arranged.
He took the reins and looked at Li Siwen, who was riding behind him, and then at Guo Yao'er: "Let's start!"
Yang An'er whispered an order, and a majestic and murderous aura emerged.
The soldiers who followed him were all tigers and wolves. Hearing the words, they shouted in unison and drew their swords. Hundreds of horsemen rushed out in separate directions.
Before, Tang Kuo sent two attendants to Yang An'er to urge him. After the two arrived, they saw everyone with swords and guns in their hands and stared at him. They already felt that something was wrong, but they were held hostage by the soldiers and had to follow.
At this moment, cold light flashed, murderous intent surged, and the two attendants turned pale. It was like many bells, drums, and cymbals were beating together in their minds, making their heads dizzy and their whole bodies trembling.
Yang An'er wants to rebel? This guy has indeed rebelled! Those rumors are actually true!
There was one person among the attendants who was a close friend of Tang Kuo and had the status of a concubine. He was flattered by Yang An'er on a daily basis. He invited him to drinks several times and gave him many gifts. Now he relied on his old
Friendship, courage:
"Yang Dutong! You betrayed the imperial court and committed a heinous crime. Fortunately, the imperial court forgave you, issued imperial edicts, appointed officials, and generous bounties. What else are you dissatisfied with? My Mr. Tang Kuo is a high-ranking member of the imperial family.
Seeing that there is an opportunity to take charge of the military affairs of all states, Yang Du will command an envoy at that time, and the Yongding Army, Yongtai Army, and Shuntian Army will not be a problem... Mount your horse to manage the army, dismount your horse to manage the people, your name will be written on bamboo and silk, and your reputation will last forever.
Wouldn't it be..."
Li Siwen sneered repeatedly.
The attendant quickly said: "This is the intention of my family's Dutong! My family's Dutong ordered me to invite Yang Dutong just to discuss this matter and to support Yang Dutong!"
You are such a waste like pigs and dogs, adding chaos in vain. What can you do to help me? You can also grant me an official position and make a wish? Yang An'er waved his hand in displeasure, and the soldiers went up and slashed with their swords. They immediately chopped the two people into seven or eight pieces, and the blood flowed out.
The road turned red.
At this time, Yang An'er had more than a hundred cavalrymen, except for one who stayed with Yang An'er. The others either rushed to control the city gate, or rushed to the top of the city. Those responsible for guarding the city gate were the prison troops in Dingxing County.
, that is, an army formed by prisoners.
How could these people compete with the soldiers? They could not kill more than two or three times, but they all knelt down and surrendered. Many people were drunk by the soldiers. When they heard that they could kill, set fire, drink and eat meat immediately, they all jumped up for joy and joined together.
In an instant, the city gate changed hands. The Tiewa Ganzhan Army brigade originally stationed at the city gate sneaked here at some point and poured into the city.
The troops entering the city immediately divided into groups.
Liu Quan led all the way to the barracks of the local soldiers in the city, Li Siwen led all the way to attack the county government office and the granary, while Yang You led the others and rushed straight to Tang Kuo's luxurious mansion in the city.
These soldiers were all veteran thieves with many years of experience and were good at causing trouble. They did not need Yang An'er's orders to set fires along the way wherever they went.
Smoke and dust were everywhere, the sound of killing was like thunder, torches ignited the houses, and swords were wiped across the throat. The military camp was loose and was broken immediately. The local soldiers surrounded the patrol and went out in panic. As soon as the patrol showed its head, he was attacked by iron tiles like wolves and tigers.
The soldiers who dared to fight were hacked and killed, and the lucky ones who escaped were running around and shouting like bereaved dogs, and their shouts caused even greater chaos.
The county magistrate and the county lieutenant hurriedly came out to check. Before they could go out, they saw the lights of swords and swords outside the Yamen, approaching step by step. The two officials rushed to the backyard. After running a few steps, they both turned to look at the other side.
.In their sight, thick smoke was billowing and fire was burning into the sky. Something happened in the deep mansion compound where Tang Kuo worked together.
The city was originally not big, but thousands of soldiers were deployed in the city, but within a short time everything was turned upside down.
The sound of killings was everywhere, causing panic among Tang Kuo's subordinates. When more than ten people were covered in blood, they ran up the horse path to the city wall to report that Yang An'er had rebelled. Tang Kuo's whole body was cold. Looking back, dozens of rebels were seen with swords and guns.
Xueliang, come after him! The swishing arrows have already been shot towards the pier!
Yang An'er! I treat him well! Last time he failed to win Guoning in Changzhou, I didn't blame him. I only asked him for a gold buckle and jade belt as compensation! In the end, he was like this... Even if this guy
Can you please let me know in advance and let me take the first step?
Tang Kuohe stretched out his trembling hands and tried to support his body, but after two attempts in a row, he felt that all the bones in his body had turned into stone and he could not move. He tried his best to urge himself to think of a way, but his mind was in a state of confusion.
Chaos is like the strings of a piano being broken and there is no connection anymore.
In a daze, he saw the grain-shooting troops around the pier fleeing one after another; he saw several heavily armored warriors he had brought out from them, holding maces, hammers and other weapons, blocking the pier to fight, but they were attacked by a group of soldiers.
A young samurai armed with a spear easily defeated him.
He saw the young warrior raising his spear and pointing it, and then many people gathered around him with grins. The swords they held high reflected the sunlight, which was very dazzling.
At this time, in the Gucheng store in the southwest of Dingxing County, Guo Ning was talking to Monk Luo and Li Ting when he suddenly stopped talking and cast his dark eyes out the window.
"Okay! Let's do it! Let's do it!" Li Ting stood up and walked out. His movement was so big that he almost overturned the tables and chairs. Monk Luo touched his head and said "hey" heavily.
In the northwest of Dingxing County and the southeast of Yi County, at the former site of the Jintai built by King Yan Zhao, there was a group of soldiers in military uniforms and holding spears and spears surrounding them. On the Jintai, the people of Jing'an stood on one side, with a young man in the middle.
A middle-aged man about forty, with thin eyes and long beard, and on the other side is a vigorous young man.
The three of them stared at the thick smoke rising from Dingxing County and remained silent for a long time.
Farther away, dozens of miles away from Dingxing County and to the north of Fanyang County, there is a military camp. The military camp is simple and loose, and it seems to be temporarily set up. Many tents are only made of branches intertwined and then covered with felt. But in the army
The demeanor of the soldiers was all fierce and fierce.
At the gate of the central army, the old soldier Han Renqing was kneeling. He was dusty and covered in mud. He was extremely tired from kneeling for a long time and his body began to tremble. Seeing that he could no longer hold on, a soldier's footsteps were sonorous.
Di came out of the Chinese military tent and shouted in a deep voice: "Marshal lets you in!"
