Chapter 268: New Year's Night in Tokyo (3)
At this moment, there was a sudden shocking sound, and Gao Yu turned his head and was stunned.
Fire, a raging fire, black smoke obscuring the sky, the fire is out of control······ If this fire can't be extinguished in time, it is a trivial matter to spread and burn other houses, if His Majesty's new favorite has three longs and two shorts, he will have no future from now on, and he will go back to his hometown directly.
Fuck, who set the fire in the drunken apricot building?
Gao Yu was in a dilemma, wanting to cry without tears, on the one hand, his son was tied up, and on the other hand, the emperor's new favorite was shrouded in a sea of fire, and he couldn't give it up over there. In the end, family affection prevailed, and he gave a death order to the commander Yao Zhongyou, take 500 people to fight the fire, and lead the rest of the soldiers to save his son, and by the way, capture a few thieves and make errands.
The soldiers guarding the north gate saw black smoke billowing out of the city like wolf smoke, and were guessing what was happening in the city, but they saw many people rushing towards the city gate. When the city guards saw that something bad was happening, they quickly closed the city gates. Who knew that more than a dozen men were killed from the oblique stab, hacked to death the soldiers in front of the city gate, and shouted loudly: "The forbidden army and the people have rebelled, and now the palace has been taken, I will wait to open the door to welcome foreign aid, and the resisters will be killed on the spot!" ”
As soon as the soldiers defending the city heard that they were carrying swords and guns, they ran into the city, and their families were all in the city.
The North Gate was smoothly controlled, but the people pouring in from the North Gate could not be controlled. Han Shizhong stood on the city tower and looked into the distance, the moonlight was shining in the dark night, how could he tell where Song Jiang was. At this time, more than a dozen fast horses appeared in the crowd, and they rushed towards the city gate with torches in their hands, and Han Shizhong could see at a glance that it was Song Jiang and the others. He quickly came down to meet Song Jiang, counted the number of people outside, and there were a lot of them, so he asked Shi Xiu to throw his mask and enter the city, and the rest of the people quickly joined the receiving people.
When Gao Yu chased twenty miles outside the north gate, he saw a big tree blocking the way on the road, so he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to move the big tree. Then one of the soldiers suddenly shouted, "There is a man tied to the tree!" ”
Gao Yu looked along the light of the torch and saw a person tied to a tree beside the road, his mouth gagged, and he was struggling hard. Gao Yu was overjoyed in his heart, wasn't that Gao Yaokang? He hurriedly asked the soldiers to loosen the ties, planning to return to the city after saving his son, so as not to be ambushed by thieves again.
There was a loud bang, and the two soldiers who went to loosen the tie were killed on the spot, and Gao Yaokang's situation could not be seen in the dust. Fortunately, there was no sound, and the two trembled to the tree and carried Gao Yaokang over.
When Gao Yu saw it, he was depressed on the spot, Gao Yaokang had passed out, and half of his leg was lost in the loud noise just now.
Gao Yu was furious, damn thief, I will let you pay for your blood debt, he immediately ordered the deputy commander Zhu Cheng to lead his troops to pursue, and ordered to kill all of them without leaving a living mouth.
The pursuers had just started less than twenty paces, and a deafening sound sounded again, and the pursuers stepped on the mines planted in Liangshanbo, leaving thirty or forty corpses, and Zhu Cheng led the troops back. Gao Yu ordered to pursue again regardless of life and death, and Zhu Cheng begged Gao Yu to take back Cheng's life, there were gunpowder weapons planted by thieves on the road. Gao Yu was angry and wanted to behead Zhu Cheng for disobedience, and the rest of the soldiers begged bitterly, so Gao Yu left Zhu Cheng's life, but the pursuit was indispensable.
Zhu Cheng had no choice but to lead the army to pursue, chasing all the way, and the road was divided into two forks. Zhu Cheng hesitated at the fork in the road, whether to divide his troops to chase in two ways, or concentrate his forces to chase all the way.
At this time, his cronies came over and whispered to him: "Zhu Tong, the thief is so powerful, his subordinates guess that it must be the Liangshan Bo thief." To the right is the road to Jeju, the horses' hooves are dense, and there must be many thieves, so we chase after the more than lucky. It is better for us to go to the left, and there is a small village of a hundred and ten men thirty miles away, and we have washed the village, and we have taken the merit of the heads. 126 Chinese Net
Zhu Cheng nodded secretly, he took a few steps to the left, and said by the light of the torch: "The horses' hooves are dense on this road, the thieves must have run away from this side, the opportunity for the brothers to kill the thieves and make meritorious contributions has arrived, pursue!" After saying that, he took the lead and ran.
On the side of the road on the right, the ambushed Liangshanbo team saw that the pursuers were running to the left with torches, so they withdrew from the ambush and returned to the mountain.
Huizong was furious and thunderous.
The well-designed Lantern Festival of the People turned into a sea of fire, and the people trampled on hundreds of people in a panic, and in the blink of an eye, joy turned into sadness, and happy events became funerals. The drunken apricot building was reduced to ashes, and although Li Shishi and the others were spared, the losses were immeasurable. What made Huizong even more angry was that the thieves came and went freely in the capital as if they were their own homes, and after killing people and setting fires, they went out of the city in a dashing manner, and the forbidden army actually couldn't help them in the city. All this is related to the improper arrangement of the Taiwei Gao Yu, who is in charge of public security, the Taiwei is derelict in his duties, and the Privy Council discusses the disposal plan.
Gao Yu's grief is like a continuous cold wind, and the pain continues to be piercing. Overnight, it seems to be two worlds of people, the nephew is dead, the son is disabled, and he is about to be demoted. Hateful Liangshan Bo thief, I don't share the sky with you!
Hatred made Gao Yu think of Cai Jing, and now only by joining forces with Cai Jing can he have the possibility of turning over, otherwise he will be impeached by the Yanguan again, and he will not enter the eighteenth layer of hell.
Gao Yu bowed to Cai Jing, his voice choked, and tears rained down. Cai Jing also secretly sighed, yes! Who encounters such a thing without being heartbroken! He couldn't help but think of his daughter and son-in-law who died tragically, and his mood was extremely low, and he sighed and said, "The matter has come to this, and the captain will not be sad!" The pain of losing a loved one, the old man has also felt it, it is a kind of blood that cannot be described in words, and he learns from the pain, how painful it is! ”
Cai Jing's comfort made Gao Yu even more sad, he choked up and bowed to Cai Jing again: "Now Gao Yu is collapsing in five years, life is better than death, relatives are dead, dismissal and demotion, why is life like this?" If the Taishi is not saved, Gao Yu will never come out, and Wanwang Taishi will be pitiful! ”
Gao Yu's injury needs Cai Jing's medicine, and Cai Jing's illness needs Gao Yu's treatment, and the combination will benefit both sides, which is very clear in the hearts of the two ministers.
Cai Jing needs Gao Yu to lead the troops to encircle and suppress Liang Shanbo and avenge his daughter and son-in-law; Gao Yu also needs Cai Jing's kind words in front of Huizong, gain military power to attack Liangshanbo, take revenge and keep his position.
At the moment, Cai Jing did not shirk, and offered advice to Gao Yu: "Liangshan Bo thieves are becoming more and more powerful, and if they are not destroyed, they will become a big disaster. The elite soldiers will be at your disposal, the horses and armor will be carried with you, and the old man will personally raise grain and grass for the captain to solve the captain's worries. When he set out on the expedition, the captain went to the armory and took away 3,000 divine arm bows, 2,000 crossbow beds, 1,000 artillery, and countless arrows and ammunition, blew up Liangshanbo and shot Song Jiang into a hedgehog. At that time, the Taiwei will be famous, not only the position of the Taiwei, but also the marquis and the prime minister! When the time comes, don't forget the old man's recommendation today! ”
Now Gao Yu is like a gambler who has lost all his family property, he only has the last chip in his hand, and it is possible to turn the tables if he bets on it, and he can only spend the rest of his life with the last chip if he does not bet. This was the last straw, how could he not hold it tightly in his hands.
Gao Yu hurriedly bowed down and said: "The grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by the spring, how can Gao Yu be ungrateful!" On the day of success, you must treat the master with a father's courtesy! Cai Jing was overjoyed, helped Gao Yu up, and the two conspired together to send troops.
The two originally had their own ghosts, but now they share the same hatred and are like brothers and sisters.
