Chapter 121: Chengdu Crackdown on Thieves (22)

After Zhang Weiyi's whispered instructions, Zhang Tianyou looked indifferent as if nothing had happened, and after carefully instructing, he separated nearly 800 people from the family slaves who had temporarily gathered, and after gathering 1,000 people, the commander took these people to Xicheng, where the poor people of Chengdu Mansion gathered.

In this way, in addition to the nearly 4,000 Shence Left Army in Zhong Lihao's hands, there were also more than 400 pro-confidants left by the great officers, and a team of more than 4,000 people stretched for a full 300 meters on the main road leading from the city center to the East City Gate.

Such a big move, the patrol team in charge of martial law in the city will naturally not be unaware, but in the face of so many people, they do not dare to go up to stop it, they are used to being powerful on weekdays, but it does not mean that they are fools, what they do on weekdays has given them a pair of sharp eyes, and they know that they can not provoke this posture in front of them. They are very self-aware, naturally they will not be stupid enough to come forward and ask what they are doing, and they understand that the four or five thousand troops in front of them are not the ordinary people they can bully and trample on at will on weekdays. In the end, he had to fall far away at the back of the team, and then sent his men to Beicheng to report the anomaly here to Chen Jingxuan, who was supervising the battle.

Most of the court officials headed by Liu Yonghao are civil officials, and this kind of war is naturally not very good, let alone let their old bones charge ahead, in this case, they can only shrink in the middle of the safest team, as for the matter of attacking the city and grabbing the city gate, it is natural for Zhong Lihao, the general of the Left Army, and others to do it.

Today's fierce battle that began in the afternoon made Chen Jingxuan almost put his troops on the north city wall, except for the tens of thousands of forbidden troops in the city, the remaining three city heads each had only four or five thousand people temporarily guarded.

Zhongli Hao rode a war horse at the front of the team unhurriedly, and when he was still some distance away from the east city gate, he was discovered by the defenders of the city. After the Chengdu Mansion was completely guarded, the guards of the city gates at the head of the city had been completely replaced by the henchmen of Chen Jingxuan's henchmen. At this time, he had not received any orders from Chen Jingxuan, and the defenders of Dongcheng naturally felt that something was wrong, coupled with the fierce battle in Beicheng at this time, the guards reacted quickly, turned the spearhead, and aimed at the left army of Shence with unknown purposes under the city.

It was still unhurried, and the rhythm of the horse's hooves on the bluestone ground had never changed, and it didn't seem like they were going to rob the city at all. Zhong Lihao was still more than 300 meters away from the city gate before he stretched out his hand to stop the army behind him, and then he urged the horse to move forward again a distance alone, and then slowly raised his head and smiled at the guards at the head of the city: "General Yu! Don't come unharmed! ”

"Thanks to General Zhongli! Okay very! The guard general who was called General Yu didn't know the enemy for a while, so he had to return the salute, and then stretched out his hand and pointed at the army behind Zhong Lihao and asked with a smile: "General Zhongli, what does this mean?" Is it because you want to take advantage of the opportunity to rebel? ”

"Rebellion?" Zhong Lihao asked with a faint smile, and then hurriedly shook his head and denied: "No, no, no, how dare I dare to rebel!" ”

"Oh? Since it wasn't a rebellion, why did General Zhongli suddenly lead so many Shence troops out after martial law? General Yu obviously didn't believe Zhong Lihao's "nonsense", shook his head and continued to ask.

"Ordered to get out of town! Could it be that General Yu is going to rebel? Zhong Lihao raised his head and replied loudly, asking a sharp question, and turned General Yu's army.

"Out of town? Ordered? On whose orders? General Yu got into the horns of the so-called "order", and he didn't react for a while, poking his head into a confused confirmation.

"As a divine army, we are the forbidden army of the Son of Heaven! Since it is ordered, of course, it is to be the order of today! Zhong Lihao bowed his hand in the void, threw out a sentence loudly, and then, suddenly grabbed the spear under the saddle, pulled a spear very neatly, pointed at the defenders on the city with the head of the spear, and shouted: "I think you are the ones who want to rebel!" Don't open the city gate quickly and welcome the Son of Heaven back to the palace! ”

"You're really going to rebel!" At this time, General Yu in the city finally reacted, and for a while seemed to be eager to jump directly from the battlement at the head of the city, and then break Zhong Lihao's body into pieces. Then, General Yu began to wave the weapon in his hand with his teeth and claws, his expression was also a little angry, and his mouth was even more filthy and scolded: "Zhong Lihao! You're a dog who eats inside and out! What did Chen Jiedu do to you on weekdays? Now at this critical juncture, not only do you not think about returning, but you also take a salary from the bottom of the kettle! You thing, you're going to die today! Even if I'm the only one left, I won't let you get half a step out of Dongcheng! ”

"General Yu, why are you so excited? You yourself obviously know that Chen Jingxuan is guilty of treason, why do you continue to follow hard, do you have to end up with the destruction of the Nine Clans? Zhong Lihao looked at the horizon behind him, and saw that the time agreed with the plan was still a little short, so he was not very anxious to grab the city gate, and let the defenders quickly gather in front of the city gate. Zhong Lihao then glanced at General Yu, who was still jumping to his feet and scolding at the head of the city, shook his head and sighed: "Don't scold, you mean that the soldier dies for his confidant, this is not wrong!" You said that Chen Jingxuan treated me well at the beginning, but now that Chen Jingxuan is a traitor, it is impossible for me to do such a thing! I see that General Yu is also a loyal person, it is better to immediately abandon the darkness and turn to the light, open the city gate to welcome the Son of Heaven back, so that you can atone for your sins, and maybe you can also be rewarded! ”

"Get out! Are you worthy of General Ben opening the gates? I'll tell you today! If you want to open the East City Gate, step over Lao Tzu's corpse! Otherwise, don't think about it! General Yu belongs to the kind of temper that ignites the fire, at this time he is even more angry than just now, and he almost stood at the battlement of the city and pointed at Zhongli Hao below and scolded, if it wasn't for the guards around him who grabbed him, maybe he would have jumped from the head of the city more than ten meters high.

Seeing that the rebels gathered at the city gate in front of him were getting bigger and bigger, Zhong Lihao didn't seem to be worried at all that this would stop his plan to seize the city gate. For General Yu's angry flames, he still greeted him with a smile, but the guards behind him led a group of shield soldiers to organize a row of shield walls in front of him to avoid being attacked by the rebels.

At the head of the city, General Yu was not idle while scolding angrily, but commanded his subordinates to do their best to bring the defenders down the city wall in a steady stream, and gathered densely near the city gate to resist the strong attack that Zhongli Hao might launch for a while. In addition, he also sent his cronies to the north city wall to report the situation to Chen Jingxuan, and also sent his henchmen to ask for support from the guards of the south city wall.
