Chapter 206: Commercial Tax Turmoil (8)
Langzhou City at night was extraordinarily quiet, and a few soldiers on the city tower were lazily gathered together, not knowing what to talk about.
As for the outside of the city, it was pitch black, as if a giant beast was hiding inside, but in this regard, the soldiers on the city tower did not care, the high walls of Langzhou City were thick, and they did not think that the imperial army outside the city would come in. In other words, they didn't expect the imperial army to come and fight them.
At first, they were worried, but after a while, they didn't see anyone attacking them, so they put things behind them. Of course, the imperial court did send troops to attack them, but they didn't know, only the upper echelons of the city knew, after all, they knew that the imperial court had sent a large army to attack them, and the top brass of the rebels were worried that these improvised soldiers would escape.
"Come, brothers, this is Lord Thorn's reward for you. On this big night, you still have to guard the city gates, hard work! β
While these soldiers were chatting, a group of people carried all kinds of food to the city tower, with wine and meat, and watched these soldiers drool.
"Thank you, Lord Thorn."
"Brothers over there, come and eat."
Soon, a group of people gathered around, looked at the food in the basket, and unceremoniously picked it up and stuffed it into their mouths. They knew that the Assassin's Mansion was celebrating at this time, and they were on duty here, and they didn't bring them anything, which made them feel a little complaining.
However, seeing these foods, they instantly forgot all about their previous dissatisfaction. While eating, he also shouted Long live Lord Thorn Shi.
The history of thorns in their mouths, naturally the former governor of Langzhou, Shi Chenliang, after occupying Langzhou City, he proclaimed himself the history of assassination.
The soldiers who defended the city ate happily, and those who came to reward each other looked at each other, and their eyes were full of cruelty.
And downstairs in the city, the rebel soldiers at the gate of the city are also eating meat and drinking wine in big bowls.
As they drank, the rebel soldiers felt a little groggy in their heads.
"What's the matter, Lao Zhao, what's wrong with your two heads?"
"You're only two heads, have you drunk too much, and this little horse urine will make you talk nonsense?"
Drink too much? Hearing this, some of the soldiers at the city gate felt that something was wrong, especially the leader of the general. Although his amount of wine was not very good, he would not get drunk after drinking such a bowl or two of wine, and when he was puzzled, he saw a flash of light.
Before he could react, he saw his body sitting there.
"Do it!"
Seeing the boss's head fall to the ground, the rebel soldiers did not react, and when they reacted and heard the sound of the hand, the people who were supposed to treat them drew their weapons one after another, and as the knives fell, there were many more dead heads on the ground.
After eliminating the rebel soldiers, the men opened the gates.
The low, deep sound quickly caught the attention of the defenders on the tower, and the rebels realized that something was wrong when they suddenly lit up in the dark night outside the city.
"Enemy attack!"
Before the rebels could react, the man who had just called them brother and brought them food pulled out his weapon from his waist.
"Kill!"
Looking at Langzhou City, where the city gate was wide open, Li Zhen commanded lightly.
"Brothers, rush me! Kill all the rebels! β
"Kill all the rebels!"
Under the neat shouting of killing, the cavalry at the front of the team took the lead in the charge under the leadership of Qin Yi'an, and then Zhao Xiong also commanded the troops under his command to follow closely and kill towards Langzhou City, which made him plant.
Cavalry is not suitable for siege, but in this kind of situation where the city gate is wide open, the cavalry charge is undoubtedly very effective. Before the rebels on the tower of the city could solve the internal problems in the city, the cavalry outside the city had already rushed into the city, and slashing the rebels was as simple as cutting melons.
"Surrender or die!"
"Surrender or die!"
In the shouts of the soldiers of the Tiance Army, the rebels, who were still a little hesitant, directly threw down the weapons in their hands, and then knelt on the ground, as for what to fight to the death, it was impossible.
These rebels weren't really soldiers, they were just family members of those families before. It was a fluke to drive Zhao Xiong's troops out of Langzhou City before, and fighting with the cavalry, isn't that looking for death? They are all locals, and there are old and young people in the family, who are willing to follow them to the funeral.
For these rebels who surrendered, the Tiance army did not kill them all, but handed them over to the infantry behind to be responsible, and they went to kill the assassin's mansion.
Capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as the leaders of the rebels are captured, the rebellion will be put down.
The loud shouting of killing was like a big wave on the calm water, and the quiet Langzhou City suddenly became restless.

Just when the Tiance army entered the city, the Assassin's Mansion at this time was full of laughter, and all the leaders gathered here, listening to small songs, watching dances, eating delicious food, and feeling uncomfortable.

"Let me introduce to you, this is the righteous son of Gonggong Tian, the Duke of Jin."
Chen Liang, who was sitting on the main seat, introduced a young bearded man sitting next to him with a flattering face.
said that it was a father-in-law, this person was naturally a eunuch, and he was also Tian Lingzi's righteous son.
Tian Lingzi's righteous son is not valuable, after all, there are not hundreds, but there are dozens, like them, it is normal for eunuchs to receive righteous sons.
Seeing the doubts of the people below, Chen Liang was quite proud, "You guessed right. King Shou has bad intentions, and the court already knows that Gonggong Tian is here to announce the decree. So you don't have to worry, we're not rebelling, so you don't have to worry about it. β
"Really?"
Obviously, this news surprised the people below, although they took Langzhou City, everyone knows that there are many coincidences. King Shou had tens of thousands of troops under his command, and if they really fought, they wouldn't be able to hold out for long.
"But King Shou has already sent a large army to attack us...
"You don't have to worry about this, my father-in-law has ordered Dongchuan Jiedu to send troops to help you wait, as long as you wait for a few days. King Shou, as a prince, had bad intentions, and he was relegated to Shannan West Road as a warning to him, but he didn't expect that he was unrepentant now, and he was rampant in Shannan West Road, and His Majesty and his father-in-law were very angryγγγγγ β
"Lord Guogong is wise!"
Although everyone still had some doubts in their hearts, when they saw the holy decree taken out by the eunuch, the doubts in their hearts were greatly reduced. For these ordinary people, the Holy Decree is undoubtedly the most convincing.
In fact, none of these people knew that this decree was true or false. Now the two brothers Tian Lingzi and Chen Jingxuan are in control of the government, and Li Yi, the emperor, has no idea about the accident in the palace, and his orders cannot leave the palace.
How to write this holy decree, it is Tian Lingzi's final say.
"So don't worry, with this holy decree, we don't have to worry about King Shou's side. However, the number of troops is a little insufficient now, and the army must be expanded, but the treasury is empty, so everyone needs to contribute more money and efforts.
I, Chen, am willing to take the lead and donate 10,000 yuan for the expansion of the armyγγγγγ β
