Chapter 473 In just a few words, Huiyu breaks through the confusion
Zhou Xiongqi's face was heavy, and he told Xu Fei a secret story that had been sealed for decades.
Whenever the country is in turmoil, there are always three people, Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao, who come out to demagogue, and these three people don't know whether they are immortal, or if they have been used as a cover for generations to impostor. More than 40 years ago, there was turmoil in the Huahan Kingdom, and these three brothers came out to instigate a popular uprising.
In this Central Plains, hundreds of thousands of rebel troops gathered around Kyoto, and attacked the city wall of Kyoto all day long.
Because of the turmoil at the border, it was difficult for those guards who were far away on the border to draw troops back to help, and the war came to a stalemate for a while. Although the rebellious army led by the three Zhang brothers was huge, because they were all temporarily recruited and bewitched, their combat effectiveness was not strong, and there were many flaws in the formation.
As long as a small number of surprise troops attack from behind and break the central army that commands the center, it will definitely defeat the enemy army. It's just that Kyoto has been besieged for several months, and there are still no reinforcements coming, and there are many residents in the capital, food prices have begun to skyrocket, and ordinary Shengdou small people have begun to run out of food.
In another month and a half, I am afraid that a large number of people in the capital will starve to death, and at that time there will definitely be a popular uprising, and the defense of Kyoto will collapse. And the three Zhang brothers also discovered this, and the attack on the city wall was even more fierce.
The emperor of that year issued a summons to appease the people, but said that there must be a divine soldier descending from heaven to defeat the Chinese army of the chaotic army.
It's just that how can such words win the trust of the people, so neither the people nor the officers and soldiers defending the city take it seriously, thinking that it is just a set of official words to appease the people. Who knew that one night, suddenly the golden drum behind the enemy army was beaten, and sure enough, there was a surprise soldier who suddenly came out and beat the Chinese army of the three Zhang brothers.
Those chaotic armies were originally controlled by the Zhang brothers using demagogic thaumaturgy, but at this time, the Chinese army had been broken, and the three brothers were nowhere to be found, so the army's morale was naturally in turmoil. Without the banner command, although these rebel armies are numerous, they are all a rabble, and they will rush for their lives in the event of a surprise attack.
The defenders in Kyoto also took the opportunity to kill the rebel army inside and outside, and in one fell swoop put down the turmoil of the chaotic army plotting to usurp the throne. It's just that those soldiers who suddenly appeared behind the chaotic army, like divine soldiers descending from the sky, disappeared without a trace, and this incident was written into the official history as a miracle.
At that time, Zhou Xiongqi was just a doll about ten years old, and he didn't know about it, but because he was familiar with military books, this kind of war example was naturally familiar. It's just because this incident is too weird, and Zhou Xiongqi is by no means a person who believes in strange powers, so he has always been worried about this matter.
When you grow up and grow up in the military, you will naturally study the attack and defense of the city in detail. At that time, it was determined that there must be a secret passage leading from Kyoto to the outside of the city, and those soldiers who descended from heaven entered and exited through this secret passage, and then came and went without a trace.
And the royal family made up the kind of words that the gods descended from heaven in order to hide people's eyes.
But there is another strange place, the history books record that there are thousands of people in this divine soldier, why so many people have not leaked the news for so many years, the secret passage in Kyoto is still a confusing mystery, even if he is the prime minister, Zhou Xiongqi, who controls the defense of Kyoto, does not have any information.
When he was young, Zhou Xiongqi couldn't figure out the key to it, and as he grew older, the terrifying aura revealed by the disappearance of thousands of soldiers. People don't dare to think about it, let alone ask more, this is the last way for the royal family to live, if you don't know it's okay, I'm afraid that after you know, I'm afraid that the husband is not guilty of it.
Today, since the traitorous party has the ability to transport people into Beijing by horse-drawn carriages, it must have entered through this secret passage. But the two thieves didn't know about it, and they entered Kyoto in a daze, and they didn't know anything. The plan for now is to hope to capture some more thieves in such strongholds, and see if there are any clues to be found.
Zhou Xiongqi informed Xu Fei of this secret news with only one intention, that is, to pass the fact that there was a secret passage in Kyoto into the Jiangnan Yanyu Building through his mouth.
Usually don't look down on the thoughts of the Jianghu people, but was changed by the young young hero in front of him, it seems that there are still some capable people in the Jiangnan Yanyulou, if Xu Fei listens to this secret and goes back, the Jiangnan Yanyulou will inevitably step up the investigation, maybe there will be some discoveries, and he will have to carefully investigate in Kyoto in the past two days.
Even if the secret passage is in the rat hole, it must be dug out!
Zhou Xiongqi finished talking about this secret, and didn't explain much, just made a few words of praise, and then served tea to the guests. Xu Fei didn't understand anything, he just felt that Zhou Xiongqi's face was more and more kind every time, and his speech was more and more cordial every time, and he was quite happy in his heart.
When I returned to the main hall of Centipede Street, my heart was tight, and I saw Chu Jinghong and several hall masters surrounded by the topographic map of Kyoto, nervously discussing and deploying something, which was a scene that would only exist before there was a major event in the door. Xu Fei also hurriedly entered the room and listened to the side.
After listening carefully, it turned out that Chu Jinghong was demarcating the place that separated him from the Supreme Sect forces, and the place that might become the enemy's stronghold, and then assigned it to all the hall masters to investigate and raid. Seeing Xu Fei coming, he just nodded and didn't stop.
There are many of these locations in Kyoto, because all the hall masters have been in charge of Kyoto for many years, and the locations that may become strongholds are well known and have been calculated in an instant. Xu Feicao hastily counted on the map, and it was more than a hundred.
Thinking of the thirty-six Tiangang that Lin Shiyin said to himself, the words of the seventy-two earthly demons couldn't help but move in his heart, the sum of the two was exactly one hundred and eight, and the code name of the Tianxing was one of the thirty-six Tiangang. It seems highly likely that the traitors used this method to arrange this number of strongholds in Kyoto.
Because each stronghold has its own unique code name, even if one is cracked, it will not let people use the code name to destroy other strongholds in one fell swoop, which is a common method in the rivers and lakes, and it seems that there will be a big operation in Kyoto immediately.
Chu Jinghong was resolute and resolute, wise and resolute, and had already allocated all the strongholds in a short time. Those ambiguous locations were also arranged, and only then did he turn around and ask Xu Fei about going to Zhou Xiongqi's mansion.
Xu Fei listened to it and hurriedly said that he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to make a business, and he also said Zhou Xiongqi's solemn face and the secret story 1510 decades ago. What kind of person Chu Jinghong is, as soon as he listens to it, he can hear the sound of this secret news.
If Zhou Xiongqi, who is the prime minister, is bored, he has to talk to Xu Fei, a hairy boy, about a secret past many years ago, and then serve tea to the guests, it is really strange, there must be something hidden behind these high-sounding things.
Lin Shiyin listened to it and immediately spoke: "I already have some clues about this matter when I interrogated the two thieves, the thieves said that when they entered Kyoto, they were traveling from the south of the city, and they didn't know the direction because they couldn't see the outside at that time, but they could feel that the carriage was walking slowly at the beginning, and it was a gentle slope route. ”
"The road to the south of the city, on the other hand, is a flat river, and there is no slope at all, but from there it is a description of the gentle slope route to the west, and I conclude that the traitors have let people get into a carriage from the south of the city in order to hide their eyes, and then go around to the west of the city. It can be seen that the entrance to the secret passage is in the west of the city. ”
Xu Fei was also beside him when he asked Tie Shizhang at that time, and he heard these words in his ears, but he didn't know Lin Shiyin's intentions. Only now do I know that there is such a deep meaning. As soon as I thought so, I heard Lin Shiyin say it again.
"The thief once said that he heard a loud bell ringing in the carriage, and I guess the carriage came up from the secret passage and passed by the bell tower in the west of the city, so that we could get a rough idea of the general location of the entrance to the secret passage. It's just that the confession of only one thief is not enough to speculate, if a few more thieves can be captured tomorrow and interrogated, it can be basically determined. ”
Chu Jinghong was quite relieved in his heart, although this Lin Shiyin was powerless, he was a figure who could turn the clouds and rain in the midst of the ups and downs, and he was really his right-hand man.
Tomorrow's action to clear the stronghold is directly related to the success or failure of the secret road exploration!
