Chapter 097: Capture the city and kill my brother
Jianlou Mountain, the southernmost part of Siming Prefecture, is the forefront of Siming Prefecture's defense of Annam. From Jianlou Mountain to the south, as long as you go down the mountain is the territory of Annam, from here to the southwest direction of forty miles, is the important town of Lang Mountain in the north of Annam, and from here to the west fifty miles, is a more famous pass in later generations: Zhennan Pass.
The terrain of Jianlou Mountain is dangerous, although it is said to be a defensive place, but in fact, it is not very necessary to defend, because the mountains here are too steep, even the wolf soldiers who grow in the mountains are difficult to cross on a large scale, whether it is the Ming side, or the Annan side, it is impossible to station heavy troops in such areas.
To be precise, even if Langshan is an important town in the north of Annam, its troops are mainly stationed in the line from Liangshan Town to Zhennan Pass, and it only has a dozen soldiers on the opposite side of Jianlou Mountain.
However, Jianlou Mountain is stationed with five hundred elite wolf soldiers in Siming Prefecture!
Of course, this is a very unreasonable arrangement, because although Jianlou Mountain is only fifty miles away from Mingjiang City, the state capital of Siming Prefecture, half of it is a dangerous mountain road that is difficult to walk, and only when you enter the narrow Mingjiang Plain can the road be easy to walk.
But Huang Gongsheng and his five hundred wolf soldiers have been stationed here, and it has even been for five years. From the eighteenth age of Huang Gongsheng to the present twenty-three years old, he has been stationed here all the year round, and only returns to Mingjiang City during the New Year's holidays.
He is also the son of Zhizhou, even if he is a concubine, he should not be treated like this.
But in fact, it was his own request to be stationed here. When he made this request, his father Huang Enlong was both appreciative and regretful, while his brother Huang Gongji was very satisfied, thinking that although this kid was humble, he also knew the times.
It's just that this pair of Tusi fathers and sons, who have no culture, may have never heard of "Shen Sheng dies inside, and Chong'er is safe outside", and although Huang Gongsheng has never heard this sentence, he has made the right choice that is the same as Chong'er.
Originally, Huang Enlong only gave him 200 wolf soldiers, but he gradually selected the elite from the local people under his jurisdiction to join him, and after several years of drills and actual training in dangerous places such as Jianlou Mountain, he finally had these 500 elites.
Five hundred people don't seem like much, but Siming Prefecture is only a state after all, and there are only more than 2,000 people in normal times, even if you add his five hundred, it won't be enough for three thousand.
In fact, unless the imperial court is requisitioned, the Tusi will not maintain too large a standing army in peacetime, just like Siming Mansion, as the main branch of the Huang family, usually only maintains about 5,000 wolf soldiers, and other farms that should be planted, and hunted when they should be hunted, otherwise everyone would have starved to death.
Five hundred elite wolf soldiers are by no means a force that can be ignored.
And now, this force is gathering in the Arrow Tower Mountain Cottage to listen to their commander's speech.
"Sons! How could my father, who had always been healthy and strong as an ox, fall ill and die? Huang Gongji, as the eldest son, couldn't even wait for this little time, and even killed his father and seized the throne, which shows that his heart is yin and evil, and his sins are full of evil! I, Huang Gongsheng, am a descendant of the Huang family, and I will never allow such disobedient people to defile the foundation of our ancestors! ”
Huang Gongsheng's not tall but strong enough body stood proudly on the point platform, his small eyes were full of murderous intent, he looked around, and suddenly raised his arms and roared: "Sons, follow me back to Mingjiang City and capture Huang Gongji alive!" ”
"Kill back to Mingjiang City and capture Huang Gongji alive!"
"Kill back to Mingjiang City and capture Huang Gongji alive!"
None of the five hundred wolf soldiers remained, fully armed, only brought three days of dry food, and went down from Jianlou Mountain to the north with Huang Gongsheng, and went straight to Mingjiang City.
This wolf soldier is worthy of Huang Zhiting's very vigilant elite, this way down the steep mountain road there is no extra obstacle at all, but it seems to be familiar with the road, and the march is extremely fast, they set off early in the morning, and arrived at the South Snake Ridge at noon, only twenty miles away from Mingjiang City.
At this time, Huang Gongsheng ordered to rest and eat, and someone under his command persuaded him, saying that the dry food should be eaten while walking, and there was no need to rest, and he went straight to Mingjiang City, and he would definitely be able to go down with a drum.
Huang Gongsheng smiled and said, "I'm not worried that I won't be able to defeat Mingjiang City, I just don't want to lose too much, every son is trained by me, and I feel very distressed to lose one more...... I'm going to arrive and launch a surprise attack while the city is changing guards in the evening, and now there's still time, so there's no hurry. ”
The subordinates were moved, and each conveyed to his subordinates the benevolence of the second son, and the military prestige was even more powerful for a while.
In the evening, Huang Gongsheng rushed to the outside of Mingjiang City with five hundred wolf soldiers, but he only brought less than two hundred people to appear under the city to call the door, and the remaining three hundred people hid behind Puqiu - Puqiu is a small hill, although it is not big, but it will not be found in the city if it is hidden behind the mountain.
Mingjiang City is where Huang Gongsheng grew up, and it is clear when he will change the guard, this time is the time to change the guard, not to mention the laxity of the guards, and the vigilance is also very poor.
He didn't plan to storm it, but first tried to conquer the city in the name of returning to the city to hang filial piety.
Originally, he didn't have much hope of deceiving the city gate, who knew that the city's defense against him was not heavy, especially seeing that he only brought more than 100 people, he was no longer on guard, and opened the city gate straightforwardly, and even went out of the city to greet him in person.
Huang Gongsheng had a calm face, and with a very sad look, he walked to the gate of the city with more than 100 wolf soldiers under his command, and suddenly said to the defenders of the city: "Lu Youren, Huang Gongji killed my father, I want to kill him, to comfort my father's soul in the sky, are you willing to obey?" ”
The four surnames of Zheng, Lu, Cheng and Tan are the four surnames under the command of the Huang Tusi, which were born from the Song Dynasty and have been passed down to this day, and are deeply rooted in the Huang family's sphere of influence.
When Lu Youren heard this, his face was shocked, and he blurted out: "Second son, where did you hear about the rumor that the eldest prince killed Zhizhou?" ”
"Rumors?" Huang Gongsheng looked at him coldly, and suddenly waved his hand, and the wolf soldiers under his command suddenly took out a bamboo whistle and blew it violently, and immediately seized the city gate.
Lu Youren was taken aback, took three steps back, and asked, "Second son, how are you doing!" ”
Huang Gongsheng glanced lightly in the direction of Puqiu outside the city, and said slowly: "How am I staying?" Naturally, I came to get what belongs to me - Huang Gongji, the incompetent rebel, what qualifications do you have to take the post of Zhizhou? ”
Lu Youren was taken aback, and looked at Huang Gongsheng's gaze, only to see that the dust was flying on the side of Puqiu, and hundreds of wolf soldiers were rushing towards him, and the momentum was violent. Looking at the vicinity of the city gate again, the more than 30 wolf soldiers under his command were forced to retreat to the side because they were at a disadvantage, and the key was that the order was unclear, and they actually gave up control of the city gate.
Fortunately, Huang Gongsheng did not order the killing, and there have been no casualties so far.
However, Lu Youren knew that as long as he said "no to follow", these people would soon be splattered with blood on the spot, and they might even include themselves.
The wolf soldiers outside the city gate were getting closer and closer, and the wolf soldiers of Huang Gongsheng inside the city gate not only surrounded more than 30 people under Lu Youren, but also slowly surrounded Lu Youren in the middle, pressing closer and tighter.
And Huang Gongsheng took a step closer to him and asked again: "This son asks again, Lu Youren, are you willing to follow?" ”
Lu Youren sighed secretly, reached out and untied the Pu knife on his waist, handed it to Huang Gongsheng with both hands, knelt down on one knee and said, "I am willing to serve the second son!" ”
Huang Gongsheng took the Pu knife with satisfaction, and then handed it back to Lu Youren, saying, "If you want to follow me, this knife will still be given to you." The Lu family has been my Huang family for hundreds of years, and today you are the first to vote for me, and there will be a lot of reuse in the future, you should keep in mind that you don't disappoint me. ”
Lu Youren gritted his teeth, bowed his head and said, "Yes, thank you Second Son." ”
Huang Gongsheng didn't care about the "mistake" that he still didn't change, but called his cronies, confessed two sentences, and immediately ordered to kill Xiang Zhouya.
The cronies were ordered to send a few bold and shrewd subordinates to the rest of the city gates to convey the news that "the army of the second prince entered the city to capture and kill the father and the son Huang Gongji".
At this time, there are a lot of people in the state yali, but unfortunately they are either handling funerals, or they are subordinate local officials who come to mourn, although there are also a little guards, but who will be ready to fight?
To be honest, whether the old man of Zhizhou dies or not has the most direct relationship with these guards, but he can eat better these days by taking advantage of the opportunity to hold a big funeral!
After all, people have already been sent from Siming Mansion to the neighboring prefectures and counties to inform them, and it is estimated that from tomorrow there should be an endless stream of mourning messengers and even Master Tusi coming in person, and the seven-day flowing water banquet will not stop at all. As ordinary wolf guards, eating to improve their lives is their biggest hope now.
And at this time, the second son, Huang Gongsheng, arrived.
The wolf guards of the state government were slightly stunned at first, and said secretly: Why did the second son come so quickly?
Then all of a sudden, as we all know, the second son is the most hard-working and responsible person in Siming Prefecture, not only guarding Jianlou Mountain, but also taking the initiative to take over the errand of patrolling and suppressing bandits, today must be patrolling and suppressing bandits nearby, suddenly heard a shock, so he immediately rushed - you see the appearance of the second son who is still with a large team of wolf soldiers, isn't it just the appearance of hurrying here?
Huang Gongsheng had a gloomy face, his whole body tense and stepped forward, and several wolf guards did not suspect him, and stepped forward to kneel to see him.
Seeing them kneeling, Huang Gongsheng breathed a sigh of relief, just said "um", and coldly led the troops in.
The wolf guards knew that something was wrong with the situation, but they were Huang Enlong's cronies, but not Huang Gongji's cronies, so they hesitated slightly, glanced at each other, and pretended not to know, did not squint, and continued to act as serious guards.
Huang Gongsheng has been paying attention to the movement behind him, seeing that the wolf guards did not shout loudly, knowing that this level has passed again, he can't help but secretly sneer in his heart: The image of this son's conscientious work for many years always has some effect.
As soon as he entered the compound of the state capital, Huang Gongji, who was receiving visitors in the front yard, saw him.
Huang Gongji couldn't help but chuckle in his heart when he saw the second brother's fully armed and dusty appearance, but he also knew that he must not show cowardice at this time, so he could only face it hard, forcibly squeezed out a smile, and asked: "How did the second brother come so quickly, for the person sent by the brother to deliver the letter......
"It's a little fast." Huang Gongsheng interrupted coldly: "Because I don't want a father killer to live another moment!" ”
Huang Gongji's face changed greatly, and he said angrily: "What did you say? ”
But Huang Gongsheng no longer answered, taking advantage of Huang Gongji's anger and defenselessness, he suddenly drew his knife, and with a reflexive wave, one of Huang Gongsheng's heads separated from his body, flew out of the rest of the body, and rolled into the crowd.
