Chapter 1119: City God's Night Soldiers
Linyi County is a big county, he is not only the seat of Yizhou's state government, but also a famous commercial center, whether it is Haizhou's goods to Qilu in the north, or Qilu's goods to Xuzhou and Haizhou in the south, Linyi County to transit, so that Linyi County has become a famous bulk cargo distribution center in the south of Qilu.
Linyi County has a population of nearly 200,000, half of which are from other places or related to business, such as the men brought by businessmen, as well as warehouses, transportation, moving goods and other labor.
All kinds of commerce are also emerging, shops, restaurants, inns, brothels, music squares, gambling halls and other commercial stores are as many as hundreds, and there are nearly 100 restaurants alone.
It is the thriving commerce that has made Linyi County a famous Xiongxian county in the mountainous areas of southern Qilu.
The circumference of Linyi County is thirty miles, the city wall is as high as three zhang, there is a very large military camp in the city, at this time the military camp is in turmoil, 10,000 troops from Yanzhou have just arrived in the county seat, the soldiers are burying the pot to cook, and the generals are arranging the military house.
The main general, Pan Ling, is a veteran who has participated in the Great War of the Central Plains of the Domain, and has rich experience, and he cares about the problem very comprehensively, not only about the defense of the city, but also about the supply of grain and forage and other ingredients.
Zhao Yunong, the assassin of the history, accompanied Pan Ling, who inspected the city defense while asking about other situations.
"General Meng Song left me a letter before leaving, saying that there are still 40,000 stone of grain in the warehouse in the city, and there is no problem with this amount!"
Zhao Yunong smiled bitterly and said: "There is no problem with the total amount of 40,000 stones, but 10,000 stones of them are official warehouse grain, which is used to help the people, and cannot be counted in the military rations." ”
"I'll talk about this question later, what other materials are there besides food?"
"In addition to grain, there are 80,000 loads of forage, and other materials are gone, the king of Qi does not allow the states to store money, grain and materials, these grains are still taxes that have just been collected, if they were usual, they would have been sent to Licheng a long time ago."
"Don't you have any vegetables for pigs and sheep?"
Zhao Yunong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly explained: "This ..... This does not belong to money, food and materials, and the government can organize some. ”
"How did Meng Song prepare it before?"
Zhao Yunong sighed and said: "He spent money to buy it, but until now, he still owes more than a dozen businessmen thousands of dollars that have not been paid, and now that he is gone, the businessmen are looking for money from the government, pestering us every day, and we have no choice!" ”
Pan Ling was a little big, but he didn't expect Meng Song to leave himself with a mess.
He groaned and said, "You should try to raise a batch of pigs and sheep first!" When I went back, I reported to the Holy Lord, and asked him to send a batch of military expenses, settle all the arrears, and then restore the supply. ”
"That's the best, I'll do my best to raise a batch of pigs and sheep."
"Is there any situation of the Jin army in Yizhou recently?"
Zhao Yunong's heart jumped, and he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "How could the general think of asking this question?" There won't be a Jin army in Yizhou! ”
"I heard some rumors in the city in the afternoon that there was a Jin army in Yizhou."
Zhao Yunong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "The rumors in the city actually refer to the general's 10,000 troops, and everyone doesn't know that it is the army from Yanzhou, and they think that the Jin army is coming, so there are a lot of rumors." ”
This explanation is reasonable, Pan Ling was immediately relieved in his heart, nodded and said: "Hard work Zhao Envoy Jun, it's not early, Zhao Envoy Jun please go back and rest, if there is anything we will talk about tomorrow." ”
"That's good! I'll take my leave. ”
Zhao Yunong said goodbye and left, and Pan Ling immediately deployed night defense, and sent 500 soldiers to each of the two gates of the southern city to garrison, and deployed 20 night patrols in the city with a team of ten people to maintain night order.
Pan Ling has experience, he arrived today, and he doesn't know a lot of the situation, so he is more cautious in deploying at night.
As night falls, the gates are closed, and if it is usual, the city will be very lively after nightfall, but the atmosphere in the city is a bit tense these two days, many shops close early, and after nightfall, the houses close and the streets become deserted.
In the northeast corner of the county is a well-known slum area in Linyi County, where all kinds of coolie laborers live in three neighborhoods with their families, with a population of tens of thousands, and the houses are small and dense, but the rent is very cheap, and it is popular with the lower classes.
After nightfall, the door of the shop is also closed, but the shop is still very lively, there are many small shops and vendors here are continuing to do business, shouting, selling one after another, mainly side dishes, food, residents also buy some side dishes on the street to go home.
In one of the slums called Gou'erfang, it is connected to the Chenghuang Temple, which covers an area of dozens of acres, and you can directly enter the Chenghuang Temple from the slum, and then you can go out from the Chenghuang Temple to the street, making the gate of Gouerfang useless.
After a while, the square gradually quieted down, many people blew out the lamps to sleep, the poor people have no nightlife, sleep is the best nightlife.
As the lights went out, the whole workshop became pitch black, and at this time, a figure began to appear, more than a dozen, more than twenty people, more than thirty people, groups appeared, and they all rushed to the City God Temple.
At the first watch, the square of the City God Temple was already full of people, and the front and rear gates were locked, as long as they were not noisy, no one knew that there would be so many people in the City God Temple, as many as 3,000 people.
These 3,000 people are a secret army left by Yang Mi in the city, Yang Meng did not lead a large army into the city, he got information on the way to Linyi County with the army, and the 10,000 troops of Yanzhou are also heading towards Linyi County.
He immediately thought of a brilliant strategy, with the help of Zhao Yunong, the assassin of the assassin, he sent 3,000 people dressed as porters to live in the dog workshop, and at the same time, weapons and armor were also transported into the city in the name of government supplies.
They entered the city two days before Zhu's army, and the 3,000 soldiers quickly blended into the tens of thousands of poor people.
The chief general of the Jin army, who commanded these 3,000 people, was called Wei Rulin, who was promoted to Zhonglang general with merit, and was less than thirty years old, and was an excellent young general.
It was quiet in the temple, everything was going on silently, the soldiers began to put on their armor, took their weapons, and then lined up, everyone sat down in place to rest and wait.
The candles in the inner hall of the city god and Miao were bright, and several captains surrounded the main general Wei Rulin, Wei Rulin said to everyone: "Our task is not the barracks, but the south city gate, and we must set up an ambush near the south city gate, and if there is a patrol team approaching, we must annihilate it in one fell swoop." ”
Wei Rulin pointed to the sketch on the table and said: "This is the sketch near the south city gate, it is not difficult to capture the city gate, the key is to control the nearby blocks and ensure that the enemy camp is not alarmed, so I decided to divide the troops into two ways, General Wu!" ”
A Lang general immediately clenched his fists and said, "The last general!" ”
"You lead 500 soldiers to block the main street and nearby alleys under the South City Gate, and prevent the enemy from escaping!"
"Obey the order!"
Wei Rulin said to the two captains: "You each lead three hundred people and use soft ladders to climb up to the city from both ends of the southern city, I am worried that the patrol soldiers in the southern city will escape if the situation is not good, and you are responsible for intercepting them!" ”
"Obey!" The two lieutenants agreed together.
Wei Rulin's gaze turned to a tall young lieutenant and said, "Captain Yi, you have the highest martial arts in this, I will give you a hundred lightning soldiers, you are responsible for controlling the alarm bell, and you are not allowed to ring it!" ”
The lightning soldier is a special soldier, Yao Jin picked out the three thousand elites from the 80,000 Hebei army, with good treatment, excellent equipment, and extremely strong combat effectiveness, the chief general of the lightning army is appointed by Guo Song, the king of Jin, and Wei Rulin is the deputy general of the lightning army, this time he led the three thousand troops lurking into the city, there are 1,000 people who are the lightning army.
Captain Yi was also a lieutenant in the Lightning Army, and he immediately bowed down and said, "Obey!" ”
Wei Rulin looked at the night, it was almost two watches, and the general changing time was around the third watch, so the third watch was the risk area, and the two and four watches were relatively stable.
He said to the people: "Let the brethren pack up and go!" ”
Everyone rushed out of the inner hall, each to greet his army, Wei Rulin blew out the candle in one breath, and strode out.......
