Chapter 122: People Arrive at Panyu (Part 2)
"What's going on? Why is the city so noisy?" In the study, even though it was late at night, Mr. Zhong was still reviewing the memorials from Menxia Province, but there were waves of noise in his ears, which made him restless.
Renxiao City is a rare secluded place in Panyu. There are countless dignitaries. How could there be such rude people?
"Sir, it seems that the Imperial Guard is moving around -"
The housekeeper quickly approached and said:
"Someone at home saw those people wearing the clothes of the Forbidden Army. They were walking in a hurry, and their weapons were shining scaryly in the night!"
"I have never mobilized troops before!" Zhong Yunzhang stood up quickly, extremely horrified:
"Except for the emperor and Gong Chengshu, no one in the country can mobilize the troops and horses in the country. How can there be soldiers walking around in Panyu City?"
The last time Panyu was in turmoil, it took more than ten years for the late emperor to usurp the throne, massacre his brother Liu Bin, and establish himself as emperor. At this time, the Han Dynasty was in a precarious situation, how could it tolerate another coup?
"Send someone quickly to find out what happened!"
The steps kept moving, and Mr. Zhong was extremely anxious in his heart.
"Hurry, speed up!" Zhang Weiqing rode on his horse, urging the soldiers majestically. Although his face was calm, he was extremely nervous inside.
This operation is no different from the Snake Swallowing the Elephant. Most of the Southern Han Forbidden Army cleared away the banditry in other places. The key now is to seize the time.
I have been familiar with military books since I was a child and know those famous battles very well. How similar is this action to the historical King Wu's defeat of Zhou?
"Who are you? You are so presumptuous. Don't you know that this is Li Guozhang's residence?" While he was deep in thought, a shiny-faced servant came out of the small door. Seeing so many soldiers, he was not afraid and instead shouted loudly.
.
"We have been ordered by the emperor to enter the palace to Qingjun's side, hurry up, or I will take your dog's head!" Zhang Weiqing's face changed with murderous intent, and the three souls of the servants were frightened away.
"Qingjun's side? Qing's mother's legs!" The head of the country, Li Tuo, married two daughters to the emperor. He was well-informed and naturally knew this false excuse.
"Quick, hurry up and send someone to send a message to the palace. Send someone to inform all of you that something big is going to happen in Panyu!"
Li Guozhang slapped his thigh and lamented.
Thousands of troops marched swaggering along the way. It took several hours to control Renxiao City and arrived in front of the palace city.
In this troubled time, the people of every country have developed an indifferent heart, and those who are curious have already gone to see the King of Hell, so the army can move very smoothly.
"Huh?" He rubbed his eyes and stood on guard all night. The guard looked ahead. What was the beginning of those silhouettes?
Dong dong dong——
The bells rang throughout the palace city, and the gray palace city suddenly became brighter.
"Qing Junzi? Who are these people?" The city guard was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
At this time, Li Jia and others had also arrived, and the sky was already slightly bright. Riding on the horse, Li Jia could see thousands of troops behind him, neatly dressed and walking steadily. Obviously, these few hours of rapid march did not waste much on them.
physical strength.
"Lang Jun, all the troops have been gathered!" Zhang Weiqing lowered his head and said loudly.
The entire army was dark green, and the soldiers were wearing dark green military uniforms, carrying spears or swords and shields, and looked very energetic.
In the front row is Yun Congdu, brandishing various weapons. He is tough and has long hair. Compared with the neat white sand and Feilongdu, he looks very eccentric.
"Mr. Lang, the palace city is several feet high and extremely thick. I'm afraid it won't be effective for a while!"
If the city walls several feet high make people despair, then the countless palaces behind them turn people's despair into desire.
God knows how many palaces the Liu family has built over several generations. Anyway, they build it every year, when they are happy and when they are unhappy.
The splendid palaces stand there, one after another, with yellow glazed tiles and double-eaves roofs. Roughly counting, there are no less than dozens. Coupled with those low palaces, it is even more exciting.
"Who are you?"
"Don't you want to rebel?"
The guards on the palace wall still refused to give up and kept persuading, seeming to be delaying time.
"Show the flag!"
Afterwards, a huge flag was erected with three big words: Qingjun side.
"We are following the emperor's edict and will come to your side. Please open the city gate as soon as possible, or you will bear the consequences!"
"Bah, you traitors will be punished by everyone! The emperor of Han Dynasty will definitely wipe them out!" The guard of the city wall was quite courageous and he spat directly.
"The court is full of virtuous kings and good ministers. If you keep telling lies and act wantonly, you will surely die without a burial place!"
"Attack the city -" Li Jia was sitting in the middle army. Hearing these words, he couldn't help but want to laugh. If he really looked at the tall city, he said in a deep voice.
Soon, the ladders brought from the Li Chamber of Commerce in the West Market were quickly transported to the front of the formation. A dozen ladders were directly mounted on the palace wall. Look at the height, it was just right.
"This thief has been planning this for so long, but we haven't noticed it yet!" The guard's face turned pale, and his confidence was inexplicably shaken. This thief was so well prepared that he was able to get a ladder in Panyu City.
"Speak of these thieves and drive them down to the city. The Imperial Guard is not far away. These rabble will disappear on their own!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the guards on the city wall stopped trembling and picked up their weapons, preparing to fight.
"This battle should be fought quickly. It was too light when it came. The only thing to attack the city was a ladder. All kinds of government officials in Panyu City were ready. Waiting for them to react, the consequences would be disastrous!"
Zhang Weiqing took a deep breath. This action was too exciting. The level of risk was rare in this life, but the success rate was very high. Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, there have been countless cases of successful rebellions by Ya soldiers.
This time the center is empty, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"That's true!" Li Jia then remembered that although Panyu City does not have many troops, it has a population of hundreds of thousands and various yamen. It would be extremely troublesome to organize young people.
"Send someone to take custody of the ministers, ministers, and prime ministers. A snake cannot survive without a head!" Li Jia ordered.
Several rows of dark green soldiers walked out of the siege team.
Immediately, he looked towards Miyagi.
That was Yuncongdu, selected from among the barbarians. They were all strong, showing their teeth and claws, waving a variety of weapons, howling, their faces carved with green lines, and their ferocious expressions were terrifying.
.
In order not to be a burden, Huang Yong took off his armor directly, took a shield, climbed the ladder, and went straight up with a strong momentum.
"Is this Huang Yong?" Li Jia's sharp eyes saw the big man on the ladder and said angrily:
Chapter completed!
