Chapter 323: Thunder (4)
While Xu Tan read the edict, he secretly did not forget to observe the movements of Bailiyan (Wei Xian), Xu Tan's every move, Bailiyan saw it in his eyes, but he remained silent, and when Xu Tan finished reading the royal decree, Bailiyan was tepid and continued:
"General Xu, how do you feel?"
"Hehe, since ancient times, heroes came out of youth, General Wei followed Zhao Shuai at the age of sixteen, and now he can be regarded as a boiler, serving as Sima Chengfu at such an age, it ......is rare in ancient times."
"General Xu has passed the award, and Wei still has a copy of Zhao Shuai's appointment here. After General Xu handed over the defense of Guangxin, he immediately went to Yongxing River, and He Meng served as the governor of Zuo under the command of Governor He Meng. ”
Saying that, Bai Liyan deliberately lifted his right hand away from his right leg, put it in his arms, and took out a letter, Xu Tan saw Bai Liyan leave with his right hand, his heart was slightly relieved, and he took two steps forward to answer the letter, and at the moment when the letter was in hand, Xu Tan's face changed rapidly:
"Sun Sitian!"
At this moment, Baili Yan's right hand had already pressed towards the horizontal knife, and without waiting for Xu Tan's reaction, a cold light flashed, Xu Tan's heart froze, and he knew that Bai Li Yan was evil, so he withdrew with all his strength and retreated, and at the same time reached out and drew his sword with a loud shout.
"Help me!"
Xu Tan broke off his drink, and a yin wind came to kill, and before he could finish that step, Baili Yan had already slashed with a knife, and it was not first pulled out and raised, and then chopped, but at the same time as the knife was drawn, the sword slashed forward from the bottom up, instead of the common top-down slash. In this way, the action of raising the knife is omitted, and the knife is directly drawn and slashed from the bottom up.
With the sharpness of the horizontal knife, at such a close distance, such a knife slashed through, directly cutting through Xu Tan's fine scale armor, and the knife from the bottom up pulled through his chest, and then left a knife mark on his face that was two centimeters deep and forty-five degrees upward. With such a knife, the carotid artery was cut and the throat was cut, blood splattered like a column, Xu Tan struggled to the ground, and he didn't expect how Bai Liyan killed him with one knife.
Xu Tan fell down in response, everyone was stunned, Lu Zhao, Wu Deng and others behind him didn't even react, and they saw that Bai Li Yan killed Xu Tan inexplicably, at this time, Xu Tan's guards, who had just taken two steps forward, were frightened and jumped on his face, Bai Li Yan held a horizontal knife, stepped forward and took another step, and glared at him angrily:
"Xu Tan tried to rebel, and now he has been ambushed, and if you don't retreat, you can't even rebel against him!"
The guards looked at each other and took two steps back, and Lu Zhao and Wu Deng came back to their senses at this time, surrounded a group of people and others, and forcibly confiscated their weapons.
"General Wei, you're not injured." Lu Zhaodao.
"Don't hinder it, detain all the cadres and their government offices, and deal with them tomorrow."
"No!"
When the words fell, Bai Liyan squatted down and picked up the letter with the words "Sun Sitian" written on the front, looked at it, and said secretly in her heart:
"You still want to rebel, rat generation!"
Sun Sitian is a centurion under Sikong Nan, a native of Guangxin, who lives in the city, and the family letter is written by Sun Sitian on behalf of others, and then transferred by Sikong Nan to Bailiyan, and brought back Guangxin on behalf of him.
Originally, he didn't plan to kill Xu Tan, but his antipathy was already murderous, if he didn't design to get rid of him, it would be a bloody battle tonight, with huge casualties, so he could only deceive him here. Sure enough, Xu Tan was finally confused by the small actions, and he was shocked and didn't have time to react, and was calculated by Bailiyan.
Disarmed Xu Tan and his guards, and detained Xu Tan's family, Baili Yan heard that Taishou Yuzhuang was also in Sima Mansion, the city government, and he didn't have to think about it, so he came to plot rebellion regularly, so he was arrested in the front hall, pointed to Xu Tan's still hot corpse and asked him.
"Xu Tan's rebellion is now in ambush, Lord Yu won't want to follow in Xu Tan's footsteps."
"No, it's none of my business......"
Yu Zhuang's speed of admitting was still quite fast, and Bai Liyan continued to ask while the iron was hot:
"Hmph, it's none of Lord Yu's business, what is the matter with Lord Yu coming to the Sima Mansion in the middle of the night. Say, "Who instigated you to wait for tonight to suddenly gather here, and what are you plotting?" ”
"Alas...... It's Gao Heng, Gao Heng asked the official Yu Xu Tan to make a secret business here, and the official is also a money obsesser, and he took the benefits of Gao Heng, so he had to do it. ”
"Gao Heng? What kind of person is Gao Heng? ”
"It's Qin Caidong's people."
"It's Guangxin's huge rich Qin Han!"
"Yes, it's him."
According to Yu Zhuang's confession, since he became the Taishou of Guangxin eight years ago, he has secretly received a lot of benefits from Qin Han, including gold, silver, jade silk, and women's benefits.
Qin Han's blood capital on Sima Xu Tan in the city government is even more, not counting Guangxin's predecessor Taishou and Sima of the city government, both of whom received Qin Han's benefits.
At first, Yu Zhuang thought that Qin Han was doing things for Jiang Min, the Duke of Guangxin, and Guangxin was Jiang Min's fief, and most of the fiefdom's Taishou and Chengfu Sima were decorations, so Yu Zhuang didn't take it seriously, and he had nothing to do with him.
Until the end of last month, Qin Han suddenly asked him and Xu Tan to go to the banquet to tell the truth, and claimed that the Black Turban rebels had infiltrated the city, and most of the battalions of the county soldiers were bought by Qin Han, and if Yu Zhuang and Xu Tan did not comply, they would be killed first. If it succeeds, the benefits of the two will be indispensable in the future
Xu Tan promised quickly at that time, and Yu Zhuang had no military power, so he had to give in under coercion.
Tonight's secret discussion is that Qin Han's sentry discovered the traces of the Xian army, and temporarily organized it more than an hour ago, the content is to immediately gather the county soldiers in the center of the city, and the rebels who infiltrated the city will assemble near the military warehouse and distribute equipment.
If the Guangxin army moves tonight, the county soldiers will first take action to contain the Guangxin army, and after Qin Han's men and horses are armed, they will go to capture the Guangxin Mansion, arrest all the female dependents, and force the Guangxin army to disarm.
Knowing the overall plan, Bailiyan ordered Lu Gao to send people to inform Xu Hu and Jiang Gan of the news, and at the same time, in the name of Sima of the city government, ordered the county soldiers who were assembling to the south of the city to return to the camp in the south of the city.
In order to prevent the rebels from attacking the military warehouse, Bailiyan quickly transferred Wu Deng and Lu Zhao to change into the equipment of the county soldiers and went to the military warehouse.
"Lu Zhao, you and Wu Deng immediately led the people of the headquarters, disguised as county soldiers and pretended to be a thousand-person team, and went to the military warehouse to see the opportunity. If the situation permits, this is the general's warrant, and you will immediately take over the military warehouse and stop distributing weapons to the rebels. Remember, there are many rebels, and if the enemy doesn't move, I don't do it. If the situation does not allow it, you will be mixed in and act on the opportunity, understand? ”
"The last will understand."
"Okay, hit the road now, don't delay."
"No!"
Lu Zhao is a native of Zhiguo, and his command is mainly from Zhiguo, as well as nearly 200 people under Fang Qian, plus Wu Deng, there are more than 1,000 people, and such a mixed army is very easy to confuse the rebels and misjudge them as their own people.
Less than a moment after Lu Zhao and Wu Deng left, a riot broke out in the east of the city, and there was a faint sound of killing:
"Where is Lu Gao!"
Baili Yan called, and Lu Gao rushed into the hall:
"The last general!"
"What's going on in the east of the city?"
"I don't know, there seems to be a hidden sound of killing, but it's not loud, and there are only a few hundred or so people."
"Hundreds?"
"Go quickly, order someone to go and inquire about the situation, and report to me immediately."
"No."
The city of Guangxin, Sima Mansion, is located in the south of the city, close to the boundary in the west of the city, and far from the east of the city. Bailiyan climbed onto the roof of the front hall and looked faintly to the east of the city, there was no fire, and the sound of killing was sporadic and sporadic for a while, but the scale was not large.
Just before, Xu Fei personally led a hundred cavalry to Xixiang Pavilion to meet Jiang Rong.
Jiang Rong and Xiao Chunyu had a happy night in the first half of the night, just when they were sleeping, Xu Yan led people to the outside of the hospital, and without waiting to knock on the door, Qin Han's men and horses who had already been ambushed here suddenly came out and killed Xu Yan by surprise.
With the sound of killing, Xixiang Pavilion was waking up from a sleeping Jiang Rong.
"Wow, what a voice!"
Jiang Rong sat up naked, and the heavy jade peach on her chest was huge and round. Xiao Chunyu on the side was sleepy, and he didn't notice anything abnormal:
"Rong Rong, why are you so alarmed."
Jiang Rong's face changed, listening to the sound of killing, it was a natural sound, it was basically a killing sound:
"Quick, get dressed, you must have met a thief."
"Hah!"
Xiao Chunyu was shocked, and before the two of them could get up from the bed, Tang Tao rushed into the second floor with a lantern in a panic:
"Miss, no, Miss." Tang Tao came in a hurry, where did Jiang Rong have time to dress, Tang Tao broke in and took a look, and was taken aback: "Ha! ”
I saw Xiao Chunyu sleeping naked inside, and sitting outside was also a woman with a cloak and a huge jade peach on her chest. I was stunned that Tang Tao was very knowledgeable, but where had I seen two women naked and secretly having a tryst looking for pleasure.
"Miss, you ...... this"
Xiao Chunyu was difficult to speak, but Jiang Rong was not ashamed:
"Alright, let's talk about it, what's going on downstairs."
"Oh, there are thieves outside the courtyard, fighting with the officers and soldiers."
Jiang Rong said as she got dressed
"A group of dogs are so daring that they dare to rob the county lord."
"Ha, the county lord......" Tang Tao was very surprised, he really didn't expect that after so many years, the county lord of Guangxin who had a tryst with Miss Xiao Chunyu.
The two of them hurriedly put on their clothes, Jiang Rong hurriedly looked out of the window, there was a hidden fire outside, but it was still dim, and the sky was faintly bright, but it was the darkest moment before dawn.
"Rong Rong, what should we do, escape." Xiao Chunyu said nervously, grabbing the placket on his chest in panic.
At this time, Jiang Rong said:
"There are thieves in front and back, how can you escape. Don't be afraid, the soldiers and horses of the public mansion will arrive immediately, these are just thieves, just cut them down casually. ”
There are a lot of industries in the Guangxin Mansion near the Xixiang Pavilion, every time Jiang Rong has a tryst with Xiao Chunyu, there is a secret post nearby, and when the black turban rebels are rampant, Jiang Rong has added fifty people near the Xixiang Pavilion.
She estimated that as long as she withstood the thieves, reinforcements would arrive soon, but how did she know that there were four or five hundred people fighting outside this small courtyard, and Xu Huan's 100 or so people were quickly defeated, and they were killed in less than two quarters of an hour to lose their armor, Xu Huan himself was hit with two swords on his back, and almost died.
After a while, the sound of killing stopped abruptly, Jiang Rong felt good, thinking that a thief is a thief, so he doesn't need to be killed.
"Rong Rong, why is it silent?" Xiao Chunyu's chest was beating wildly, and she always felt that the atmosphere was wrong.
Jiang Rong disagreed:
"Cockroaches, kill them and disperse."
Xiao Chunyu's intuition is actually reasonable, with Jiang Rong's identity, if his subordinates defeat the thief, they should always shout hello outside the courtyard, but now there is no sound, it is obviously not normal.
