Chapter 156: False Will
At night, Gu Shuiyue quietly slipped out of the barracks. She took advantage of the night to explore the entire Yunzhou, and had a rough idea in her heart.
There are about 100,000 Mochizuki soldiers in Yunju City. According to the state chronicles, there were 50,000 people in Yunju Castle, and the number of people was half that of Mochizuki's soldiers.
When it was dawn, she was back in the barracks. The 10,000 people brought by Wang Zhen were divided into various military camps, and Gu Shuiyue was divided into soldiers defending the city.
There are four city gates in Yunzhou, southeast, northwest and northwest, and only the city gate in the north leads to Yanzhou, where Gongsun Yi is located. Therefore, the northern gate was heavily guarded.
There were at least 5,000 people in the northern garrison, and a team of 100 people took turns patrolling near the city gate, and if there was any suspicious situation, they immediately dealt with it. Gu Shuiyue stayed at the city gate in the north for a while, and then she realized how tightly guarded this city gate was.
These 100 people are a team, and the relationship between 100 people is actually a joint relationship, one of them is a spy, and the rest of the people are also subject to the relationship of mutual supervision. It is very difficult for a person to make a move.
Gu Shuiyue could avoid the sight of a few people and make small moves, but she couldn't avoid ninety-nine people. If this continues, she has no chance to open the North City Gate at all.
Gu Shuiyue didn't want to waste time, so she stayed at the city gate in the north for a day and immediately slipped away. The remaining ninety-nine people, in order to escape responsibility, said that he had fallen into a well and died while on patrol, and the matter passed in this way.
After Gu Shuiyue escaped from the barracks, she quickly changed into a set of clothes, and instantly changed from a soldier to a little peasant girl.
Gu Shuiyue walked on the most lively street with a basket, which was the best place to listen to the voices of the people.
"The one in my family who is not afraid of death actually said that he would go and open the city gate and welcome King Chen into the city. ”
"Then dare to be kind, maybe King Chen will make your man a military advisor. ”
"No kidding, can he be a military advisor like that?"
"Where is the cowardice? There are a lot of people who think like this. Let's just say that Yanzhou, which is next to us, is now returned to King Chen, and the grain is all transported from Huanzhou, and they will not go hungry at all. What kind of life are you living now? It's better than a pig or a dog! When you go back, I'll ask my man to follow yours to open the city gate. ”
The two women were chattering together. Gu Shuiyue listened to all their discussions.
After the two finished speaking, Gu Shuiyue followed behind the previous woman and followed her to her house.
The woman's house was a small courtyard, and the woman entered the door and closed the door of the courtyard. Gu Shuiyue jumped in from the wall and walked around inside. It was supposed to be a small rich family, but now it is also a family with four walls, which should be Li Yejin's 'credit'.
Gu Shuiyue was quite interested in her husband who wanted to open the city gate.
At night, Gu Shuiyue hid on the tile and saw it.
The man was about thirty years old, bearded, and dressed as a literati, and turned out to be a teacher. At night, many people gathered in his room, looking at the costumes of those people, some were scholars, some were martial artists, and it was quite strange that such a completely different group of people gathered together.
"The people in the city have even eaten the rice bran, and if they continue like this, they will not be able to survive for two days. ”
"Do it tomorrow night!"
"How?"
"Whoever has a sword takes a sword, he who has a sword takes a sword, and whoever has no sword or a sword takes a stick, and tomorrow when it gets dark we will go to the north gate!" said the teacher.
"Sir, this is not right, there are a thousand people guarding the north gate, how many of us are there? Moreover, even if we open the city gate, King Chen is still a hundred miles away!"
"In the past, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled, how could they have thought so much? Now we are desperately looking for a glimmer of life! When we die, there are others. We're just getting started!" the teacher said loudly, "Instead of letting Li Yejin threaten King Chen with our lives, let's use our lives to do something meaningful!"
Gu Shuiyue couldn't help but lift the tile a little and take a closer look at the teaching gentleman.
The scholar's face had a fierce expression, and he really had the determination to die. A scholar has such courage, which can't help but be admired.
"Open the city gate and welcome the king, in fact, you don't have to die. ”
The woman's voice suddenly sounded overhead, and the dozens of men couldn't help but raise their heads to look at the roof, with a surprised expression on their faces.
"Who's on the roof?" asked the teacher sharply.
I saw that the tiles on his roof were lifted off one by one, and a petite figure jumped down from the gap. It was a girl in green, with a simple bun, a clever smile, and a good temperament.
"Who are you?"
"The person sent by Sun Yi, the prince of Chen. ”
"King Chen?!" The men looked at each other a few times, and the expressions on their faces were in disbelief.
"King Chen knew that the people of Yunzhou were suffering, so he secretly infiltrated Yunzhou and waited for an opportunity to open the city gate. Gu Shuiyue said.
She has an extraordinary temperament, and when she speaks with a clear look, the doubts in those people's hearts gradually disappear.
"Anyway, they all have the idea of death, so it's better to listen to this woman's orders!"
Gu Shuiyue instantly gained the helpers of fifty people.
It's just that her method can't be as simple and rude as the teacher who teaches it, killing 800 enemies and losing 1,000 herself. She had to outwit and surprise Li Yejin with a sudden blow.
The moonlight shone in through the open rubble, illuminating the whole room, and even more so the girl in green.
She held a blank piece of paper in her hand and a pen in the other hand, writing on it, and the rest of the people listened attentively. The impetuousness and righteousness just now faded, and everyone became calm.
The second day, night.
Fifty carts of grain were transported into Yunzhou, and the soldiers were all fed, and they were all full of energy at night, and the soldiers guarding the door were also very energetic.
Hundreds of people took turns patrolling, and the city gate was like an iron barrel, impeccable.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the patrolling soldiers couldn't help but look towards the place where the horses' hooves had come from.
The west gate, where the guards are weaker than the north gate, but there are also a thousand soldiers.
In a few moments, a group of people walked up to them.
"Pass Your Majesty's order, take it quickly!" The voice of the person who came was loud, but it was dark and there was no moonlight, so he couldn't see his face clearly.
Just looking at the formation, they all swaggered and rode horses, like personal soldiers beside His Majesty.
Soon, a great number fell to their knees at the gates of the city.
"Your Majesty's hand, someone is attacking the north city gate, go to support quickly!"
"This is not right, my lord, we are guarding the south gate, how can we leave at will?"
"Violators will be killed!" the herald snapped, instantly extinguishing the doubtful voice.
This city guard is Wang Zhen: "Your Majesty's hand is for me to see." ”
The man on the horse threw a roll of paper to him, and when Wang Zhen opened it, he saw that it was the emperor's handwriting on it, and he completely lost his doubts.
"Quick, let me go to the north gate!" Wang Zhen immediately gave an order, and soon, a group of people lined up neatly and ran towards the north gate.
Wang Zhen and his two cronies did not leave.
"Commander Wang, why don't you go?" The person who delivered the will did not leave, but looked at Wang Zhendao condescendingly.
His Majesty actually asked the people guarding the south gate to support the north gate, which shows how fierce the attack on the north gate is, the situation is dangerous, and he will not go to the place where he will die.
Thinking like this in his heart, Wang Zhen said righteously: "This south gate is very important. ”
"There is a cliff outside the south gate, who will attack the city from the south gate?"
"That Gongsun Yi is scheming, what can't he do? This south gate is broken, and it should not be underestimated, I have to risk resisting the decree and swear to defend the south gate to the death!" Wang Zhen said.
"Huh!"
A woman's chuckle suddenly came from behind the man.
Wang Zhen's face changed suddenly.
How can there be a woman in His Majesty's own soldiers?
Although the woman smiled, her laughter was extremely cold, and in this dark night, it was cold to her bones, which made people feel creepy.
"Then let the king's ruler get what he wants. ”
"What do you mean?!" Wang Zhen said in horror, but as soon as the words fell, a sword flew towards his chest, blood suddenly gushed out, his mouth was wide open, and the expression on his face froze.
The cronies around him wanted to run, but they were all solved by two swords.
Suddenly, the south gate was empty.
"Open the gates!" the woman said.
Soon, the heavy city gate slowly opened, and there were countless people crowding at the city gate that should have been deserted.
At the same time, it was not only the guards of the south gate who received the emperor's edict, but also the other three gates. Without Li Yejin knowing, the entire Yunzhou City was already in chaos because of his 'handwritten edict'.
As soon as Li Yejin fell asleep, a group of people broke into his dormitory. Li Yejin stood up suddenly, holding the unsheathed sword in his hand, and when he saw the person rushing in, his face suddenly changed from vigilance to annoyance.
"Ji Yongchang, are you trying to rebel?"
Ji Yongchang is Li Yejin's henchman, and he rushed into his dormitory with a sword, and Li Yejin was understandably angry.
"Your Majesty, isn't it your escort in the future?" Ji Yongchang was stunned and said in a daze.
"Shouldn't you have slept well and prepared to attack Xichuan?
"But Your Majesty, your edict says that someone is going to assassinate you, so Ling Mo will come to your rescue. Ji Yongchang struggled.
"What kind of hand-decree?" the anger on Li Yejin's face turned to condensation, and he asked sharply.
Ji Yongchang handed the oracle hidden in his sleeve to Li Yejin, Li Yejin opened it, and the words on it were dragon flying and phoenix dancing, force through the back of the paper, and the dragon qi jumped on the paper, which was Li Yejin's words.
But he never wrote such an edict! There is only one person whose handwriting can be imitated to the point of being fake......
Li Yejin stared at the words on the paper, his face was ugly, and he squeezed out three words from between his teeth: "Gu!
"Your Majesty, where is the assassin?" asked Ji Yongchang.
Li Yejin tore the edict into pieces of shredded paper in an instant, and threw it on Ji Yongchang's face.
"There are no assassins here! Immediately block Yunzhou City and search from house to house, I don't believe that I can't find her!" Li Yejin roared like an angry lion.
Ji Yongchang hurriedly retreated.
The night of Yunju is like day, everywhere is full of people, and the storm is coming. When Ji Yongchang came to the city gate, he found that he was not the only one who received the order, and the entire Yunzhou was already in chaos.
"General, do you want to report to Your Majesty?" the subordinate asked.
"Didn't Your Majesty tell me to go and seal the city gates? Come with me!"
Li Ye locked himself in his room, not knowing what was happening outside.
Gu Tianlan is here!
This realization made Li Yejin's blood boiling.
With a "squeak", the door was pushed open without any warning.
"Didn't I tell you to get out?" Li Yejin snorted, thinking that Ji Yongchang had gone and returned.
The person who came didn't speak, Li Yejin seemed to notice something, his body couldn't help but tense, he turned his head slowly, and when he saw the face of the person who came, his pupils shrank suddenly: "Gu Tianlan!"
