Chapter 235 Traveling Light to Taiyuan (II)

Cao Guangbi and the others did not walk fast, on the one hand, to ensure that it was late at night when they arrived at the city of Taiyuan, and on the other hand, to be able to recover some physical strength.

"Open the door! Open the door! Several Han veterans, dressed in the armor of the Jin Army, shouted in fluent Jurchen outside the city gates.

"What's wrong?" When the city gate official heard the authentic Jurchen words, he was distracted first. The days of the Jurchens entering the Hedong region are still young, and the Han people do not know much about the Jurchens, and they are even more unique in being able to speak them.

"We're in an ambush, hurry up and open the door, we need reinforcements!"

The city gate officer was taken aback, and when he lit the torch to look, he saw the embarrassment of the "own" army in the flickering firelight, and hurriedly asked about the battle situation ahead and whether there were any pursuers.

"Damn, it's just a group of farmers, but there are too many people, I'm afraid there are tens of thousands, but after they got cheap, they have already rushed to Yuci, and I heard that Yuci has fallen!"

If it was close to the city of Shangdang, the Jin army might be more vigilant, but after all, this is the rear, and now it is only a civil uprising - this kind of thing happened almost every day after the Jin army entered the two rivers, and it was not a very special thing. The city gate officer did not know that he had it, and opened the side door to let them in, and when the men and horses approached, he suddenly became suspicious, and hurriedly shouted, "Close the door!" "But where is the time? The soldiers of the loyal army who walked in the front heard it, ran over desperately, and squeezed in regardless of life or death, at this time, the short soldiers were connected, not to mention bows and arrows, and even the big swords and spears could not be used, basically the first to find out the short soldiers was the winner! The soldiers of the loyal army were prepared to attack unprepared, and occupied the city gate in the blood and light. The city gate officer didn't even have time to give the order to close the second city gate, and the loyal army behind him had already rushed in!

Cao Guangbi is good at guarding, so he is also good at breaking the guard! The loyal army that rushed in rushed to the various strongholds in a very planned manner, and the Taiyuan guards had not received the news that the southwest gate of Taiyuan had been occupied by the loyal army!

Although Taiyuan is a famous city, after the last capture, not only the scale was greatly reduced, but the city defense was far less solid than the original. Yinshuke transferred most of the troops in order to attack Longde Mansion, and the defenders who remained in Taiyuan were only 5,000 people, and this afternoon they were wiped out by Cao Guangbi with a beautiful reinforcement battle, how could the defenders who stayed in the city withstand the night attack of the loyal army?

After Cao Guangbi entered the city, he left most of his troops to Chong Yansong to let him seize Zhumen, and then led more than 2,000 soldiers and horses with Li Cheng and rushed to the official office in Taiyuan under the leadership of the guide. There is no half of a figure in the streets and alleys of Taiyuan at this moment, and the elite soldiers march at night, and it didn't take long for them to rush into the official office, and the Taiyuan guards became prisoners before they had time to resist!

"Finally won!"

Although this raid had been very carefully planned in advance, and there were many favorable conditions, it was quite unexpected for Cao Guangbi to go as smoothly as it is now!

"It seems to be a ......"

With Cao Guangbi's concentration, he was also a little trembling with excitement, what he was excited about was not getting Taiyuan, but another thing!

"Bring him up!"

Under the firelight, the Taiyuan guards only saw Cao Guangbi, Li Cheng and more than a dozen veterans from the Han Department!

"You're not a Jurchen."

"Yes......" This retainer is still a little bold: "I am the old Liao Jinshi ......"

"So Liao Jinshi? How can this be! "Cao Guangbi suddenly felt a fluster, if Zong Han imprisons Zheyan Chong in Taiyuan, no matter how insufficient the troops are, he will not only send a Khitan subordinate to defend it!" Could it be ......" Cao Guangbi didn't dare to think about it, but just asked: "Where is the general!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked, but the guards were quite surprised: "What general? ”

"General! The big golden horse, the general of the Han Department, Zheyan Chong! ”

The retainer opened his mouth wide and stammered after a while, "Han ...... Hanbu? Fold...... Orihiko...... Orihiko Chong? He, he's not in Taiyuan! ”

Cao Guangbi suddenly felt that the world was spinning for a while, but his figure was still extremely stable, but his eyes were a little confused: Zhi Yanchong is not in Taiyuan? How can this be? Cao Guangbi saw that the appearance of the servant in front of him didn't look like he was lying, but if he didn't lie, then the matter would be in trouble!

This time, after getting a reliable piece of information, Cao Guangbi, who has always been cautious, took a dangerous step and attacked Taiyuan with not very sufficient troops, which not only Zong Han did not expect, but even his own people within the Han Department such as Er Yang and Wang Yan did not expect it! But Cao Guangbi knows: As long as there is a chance to rescue Zhi Yanchong, no matter what kind of danger is worth taking! Although they will soon fall into a dilemma after the successful sneak attack, if they can rescue Zhi Yanchong, this lone army deep behind enemy lines still has a chance to abandon the city and escape, no matter how big the price is, as long as Zhi Yanchong can return to the Han Department, the situation in the world will change greatly!

Among the many conditions for saving Zhe Yanchong this time, the most favorable one was that Dajin's attention was all attracted by the war in Shandong, which gave Cao Guangbi a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have a calculating or unintentional attitude towards Zong Han. But if he fails to rescue Zhi Yanchong in one fell swoop this time, once Zong Han finds out his intentions, then the Jin people will look at Zhi Yanchong more closely, and it will be even more difficult to rescue him next time!

"Is the news outdated? Or ......"

"Second General!" Li Cheng interrupted Cao Guangbi's conjecture: "Hurry up and seize the gates, cut off the way out of the city, and at the same time scout around to see if there are any suspicious people who want to get out of the city!" When you control Taiyuan, you will dig into the ground and search! At the same time, all the Jurchens and high-ranking officials in the city were arrested and tortured! ”

Li Cheng's psychological pressure is much smaller than Cao Guangbi's, and the things he considers are not as complicated as Cao Guangbi's, so he reacts faster than Cao Guangbi at this moment.

"Not bad!" Cao Guangbi said in a deep voice: "Just do as you say!" ”

At this time, Chong Yansong had already controlled the road out of the city due south and east, Li Cheng led the cavalry to guerrilla in the west and north directions, and Cao Guangbi sat in the Taiyuan Mansion and spread the word to the whole city, falsely claiming that this was the Northern Expedition in accordance with Zong Ze's will, and that the entire army had been wiped out, and the south of Taiyuan had been controlled by the Han troops.

The Jurchens, Khitans and traitors heard the propaganda of "those who surrender are exempted" and most of them hid or surrendered.

By noon on the second day, Cao Guangbi had basically mastered the gateway to and from Taiyuan, and Li Cheng began to search the whole city.

"Only by taking Taiyuan can heaven and earth be reversed!"

Chong Yansong finally understood Cao Guangbi's words! He also understands what it means to rescue Orihiko!

But to the deep disappointment of all those in the know, there was no trace of half of this Taiyuan City at all! The Jurchens who were tortured to the point of dying said that they had never seen Zhi Yanchong appear in Taiyuan, and Cao Guangbi released a hunting dog, but he could not find the slightest breath of "dark incense".

"The message is not outdated...... This news is simply fake! ”

Cao Guangbi is finally confirmed! But why did the man give a fake message? If the other party is trying to hinder himself, then Taiyuan should not be so empty, but should be full of ambushes!

"Could it be...... Serial meter? ”

Cao Guangbi flashed a lightning bolt in his head, and after a little thought, he quickly changed his strategy, ordered Li Cheng to continue the search, and asked Chong Yansong to send an order to the whole army, declaring that he would use Taiyuan as a base and Wang Yan to attack Yinshuke! At the same time, it was spread that the Pingding Army, the Jinning Army, the Ninghua Army, the Baode Army, the Weisheng Army, and the military states of Liaozhou, Xianzhou, Lanzhou, Daizhou, Fengzhou, Fenzhou, and Jinzhou were called, and heroes from all over the country were called on to respond. The influence of the loyal army in Hedong was already great, and this time the army was even more powerful after capturing Taiyuan with strange soldiers! For a time, not only the east wind of the river surged, but even Hebei and Yunzhong were also shaken! All the pro-Song and pro-Han forces took the opportunity to take the lead, and even Zhendingfu changed hands briefly because of the uprising of the rebels!

Zong Han and Zong Fu were shocked when they saw that Cao Guangbi finally acted, and every move was such a big move - because Zhi Yanchong was not in Taiyuan at all, Zong Han and Zong Fu didn't think about it for a while, thinking that Cao Guangbi was just trying to disrupt the entire battle situation. The morale of the Shandong generals was greatly boosted, and they wanted to drag Zong Han and Zong Fu with a more tenacious defensive battle so that the loyal army could make a difference!

But long before Zong Han and Zong Fu received the news, Yin Shuke in the south of Taiyuan Mansion and Han Qixian in the north of Taiyuan Mansion had been disrupted by this sudden attack!

"Xiangye! Han Gong! After receiving the news, Han Fang hurriedly came to see Han Qixian and said, "We have to send troops quickly!" General Yinshu is now suffering from the enemy, if there is a good villain, then Hedong will not be owned by my big gold! As soon as Hedong is lost, our contact with Shaanxi and Henan will be completely cut off! ”

Han Qixian was worried about this matter, and when he heard the words, he said: "Go south? Who can go? ”

Han Fang said: "Who will go?" Naturally, it was Yelu Yujian who was stationed in the clouds. ”
