About a quarter of an hour later, the young man successfully drilled into the palace of the Liang State through the culvert, and found an entrance to the sky, but it was covered by a stone pier, and a round hole with a diameter of one foot was opened on the stone pier, and people could not pass through it at all.

"Come on, come on!" The boy shouted.

Liang Jun, who was on high alert not far away, heard the sound and immediately followed the sound with more than 20 people, and found that the sound came from under the stone pier, and when he got closer, it was a drainage culvert.

"Brothers, beware of deceit, and surround me!"

The leader Shi Chang ordered, cautiously approached and shouted:

"Who is below, dare to make a mistake here!"

The boy struggled to stretch his hand out of the stone pier, and handed out a bronze waist card:

"Under General Wei Xian, there is an urgent military intelligence report."

Liang Jun Shichang took the waist card and took a look at it with a torch, and sure enough, it was really the waist card of Wei Xian (Bailiyan), the pioneer general of the Xian Kingdom.

"You wait, wait for me to ask Master Hou."

Commander Liang Jun immediately reported the news to the centurion, and the news finally reached the ears of Antai Hou Ji Tong, who immediately became worried when he heard the news.

Obviously, if what the person said is true, it means that Bailiyan is also the target of purge, and the purpose of this palace change is to eliminate the Zhao Xun party, so that there are still a few people in Xianguo who can lead troops to fight, if Xianguo collapses, the rebels will not immediately turn around and clean up Sun Guo, and then the army will come to Liang State.

"Quick, bring someone to me."

"No!"

As soon as An Taihou's voice fell, Li Yi approached at this time and said without heart:

"Uncle, this Wei Xian is also majestic on weekdays, but today he is so embarrassed that he wants to drill a hole in the field."

Ji Tong didn't say anything when he heard the news, but his cheeks twitched slightly, and he didn't know how to say that his nephew was good.

After a while, Liang Jun removed the stone pier, dug up the drainage culvert, got people out, and brought them to Ji Tong.

"Tell me, where is General Wei now?"

"Back to the Hou Ye, the general is in a private house less than a hundred steps east of the Minister's Palace. General Wei asked his subordinates to tell Hou Ye that Gongsun Yue of Xiangguo was the internal response of the Black Turban rebels who had been planted in Xianguo more than ten years ago, and this mutiny was caused by Gongsun Yue's poisoning of Da Sima and the radical change of military morale. ”

Ji Tong's face changed greatly when he heard the news:

"What, Gongsun Yue is actually the Black Turban Army!"

At this time, Li Yi interjected:

"Uncle, this news is fake. Gongsun Yue is a dignified Xiangguo, why did Xiangguo collude with the rebels, and he has been colluding for more than ten years, and there are people in the world who have been plotting for more than ten years. ”

Li Yi didn't think so, but Ji Tong immediately thought that even if this matter was not all true, most of it was already eight or nine. Uncle Guang is in the city of Chenling, Ji Tong knows, occasionally Ji Tong has to visit in person, and he still knows more about the situation in the Xian Dynasty.

At this moment, if you want to say who can start a rebellion, except for Jiang Yan's son-in-law Luan Chong, the only one left is Gongsun Yue. But Ji Tong really couldn't figure out how Gongsun Yue, as a believer in the Tao of the Confession, could be in the same league with the Black Turban Rebels, or whether it was the initiator behind the Black Turban Army.

Thinking of this, Ji Tong couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, a cold air rushed straight from the center of his feet to the heavenly spirit, his head suddenly felt numb, and he no longer dared to think about it, the more he thought about it, the more positive this answer was.

After a moment of silence, Ji Tong asked the boy to take the boy down to wash, and then paced in place. Li Yi felt that his uncle must have listened to the slander of the unknown truth, and he was still defending Gongsun Yue unrelentingly:

"Uncle, General Wei can't have listened to slanderous rumors and slandered Gongsun Xiangguo."

"No, Gongsun Yue's rebellion is probably true, but why Gongsun Yue rebelled, my uncle can't be determined. But if Gongsun Yue is in a gang with the Black Turban rebels, then you and I will have to be in different places in a few days. ”

Li Yi didn't believe it:

"Can't it, uncle, our army has 100,000 horses stationed ten miles west of the city, and the rebels can be so bold?"

"Humph!" Ji Tong sneered: "At this time, is it the nephew who can transfer the army, or the uncle who can transfer the army." ”

"This ......" Li Yi was speechless.

Ji Tong was worried at this time that if Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Yue completely captured the city within one day, and the Liang army was difficult to determine the news in the city, it was bound to be impossible to act rashly, and Zhao Xun could not mobilize the Liang army and the Jin army to come to the rescue.

Once the Yongxing River is broken, the Lingling will not be able to recover it for a long time, and the more than 500,000 soldiers and horses of the Xian army, the Liang army, and the Jin army will face the consequences of being swept away in front and back.

Regardless of whether Gongsun Yue was in the same stream with the Black Turban Army or not, the direct result of the Chenling Mutiny was a huge benefit to the Black Turban Army, and Ji Tong had no reason not to believe that Gongsun Yue had already colluded with the Black Turban Army at this time.

But it's really unbelievable, Gongsun Yue would have colluded with the Black Turban Army more than ten years ago, and he couldn't believe that the Black Turban Army had been plotting for so many years.

Thinking about all this, Ji Tong quickly recalled Dian Kun to discuss with him to rescue Bailiyan.

"General Dian Kun, how do you think we can take General Wei Xian into the mansion?"

"This ...... There was a sudden fire more than 200 paces to the east, and the rebels were already on guard, and if they took the initiative to provoke the rebels at this time, the rebels were likely to attack our army immediately. ”

"That fire was set by Wei Xian, intended to cut off the passage from the Prince's Mansion to our Mansion and delay the rebels' rush to our Mansion. At this time, the southern camp was in a fierce battle, if General Wei could not be accepted into the palace, after the rebels in the south of the city annihilated the Xian army in the second half of the night, it was inevitable that heavy troops would come to besiege us, and it would be difficult to get out at that time. ”

"But there are at least 1,000 Xian troops outside the mansion, more than 2,000 people's troops, I'm afraid there are only a lot more on the Prince's Mansion, rashly do it, if the Prince's Mansion doesn't do it, the rebels will eventually mobilize more people from the Prince's Mansion to attack, the Hou Ye can be cautious, the consequences of a little carelessness are unimaginable."

"How long will that last?"

"The soldiers in the palace are all forbidden troops, well-equipped, and they are still sure that they will be sure until the end of dawn, and I am afraid it will be difficult tomorrow."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow, let's take Wei Xian into the mansion tonight, I don't think he will come rashly, there must be some plan."

Ji Tong would rather believe that Bai Liyan didn't come here to cause trouble, otherwise he would not have come to death by such a coincidence, and there must be a way to deal with it.

Dian Kun quickly mobilized the soldiers and horses in the house, transferred 500 people from the 800 people in the inner house to strengthen the gate of the front yard, and at the same time transferred crossbowmen to climb the roof of the front yard.

Bai Liyan was also lying on the roof at this time to observe the situation of the Liang State Legation's Mansion, more than a hundred steps apart in the darkness of the night, and he couldn't see what was going on in the Minister's Mansion, and for most of the past half an hour, there was no movement, and Bai Liyan couldn't help but worry about whether the child was trapped in the culvert.

When the moon was about to rise, the fire on East Street was getting bigger and bigger, and the spread was unstoppable, and the fire had burned to the house opposite Zhou Caidong's house, and seven or eight families were lit one after another, and the cries for help were overwhelming for a while.

At this time, Dian Kun paid close attention to the development of the fire, and found that East Street was already in chaos, so he immediately ordered the arrows to be released.

In order to besiege the Liang State Legation's Mansion, the rebels were impassable, the number of people was very dense, and two hundred hidden arrows fired a volley, and the rebels were caught off guard and killed, not to mention more than 100 dead and wounded.

"Arrows, someone released arrows, respond quickly!"

The rebel general shouted loudly, only knowing that it was a bad plot, but he had not yet figured out the situation, and why the arrow fell on his head. Just now, there was another volley, and more than 100 people were killed and wounded under the random arrows.

"It's Liang Jun!"

At this time, there was a shout, and it was found that the arrow was coming from the direction of the Liang Legation's Office, but the rebel general still did not understand why the Liang army would suddenly attack them. At least they felt that the Liang army should not be involved in the melee until they knew the situation in the city, and it was impossible for the Liang army in the city to know that it was the Black Turban Army that was seizing the city, so there was no reason to help the Xian army fight back in the first place.

It was with such paralyzing thoughts that when the rebels hesitated, the gates of the Minister's Mansion suddenly opened, and the warden led the forbidden army out of the front yard:

"Brothers, follow me!"

"No!"

At the sound of the order, all the troops spoke in unison. Dian Kun wielded a steel gun and wore chain mail, and under the guidance of the young man, he killed Ben Dongjie.

Last year, Bailiyan sold a batch of equipment to An Taihou, in addition to most of which were rewarded to the generals, Dian Kun got a spear and a chain mail, and now the first batch of Liang troops who rushed to kill were all wearing chain mail, holding horizontal knives and steel guns, and under the head-to-head confrontation with the rebels, they immediately hacked to death with knives and people.

The Minister's Mansion burst out with a sound of killing, Baili Yandong watched the fire, and saw that the Liang army had broken the rebels by twenty or thirty steps with one impact, and he jumped down from the room and immediately said:

"Brother Gao, you and Zhou and Wang are staying here, and I will go to connect with Liang Jun!"

"Well, be careful!"

With Gao Xun's detailed instructions, Bai Liyan led Jiang Jie and other young men to enter the side street through the side door of Wang's house. The Liang army fought outside the Minister's Mansion for a while, and the fire on Dongjie disrupted the existing deployment of the rebels, dividing the 3,000 rebels besieging the Minister's Mansion into two, of which more than 2,000 were hastily organized civilian troops.

The small street was empty at this time, and the rebels guarding it had been transferred, Bai Liyan easily sneaked into the street, and saw that the Liang army was less than thirty steps away from the small street, Bai Liyan decisively killed from the side and forcibly inserted himself into the rebels:

"Jiang Jie, follow me!"

"Yes!"

A group of more than 100 people suddenly killed on the side, and the rebels who only cared about the frontal fierce battle were defenseless, Bai Liyan and others were wearing the armor of the Xian army, and they couldn't see clearly in the darkness that they didn't have white scarves wrapped around their arms, and as a result, a gap was immediately opened under the impact.

The rebels on the side were mainly civilian troops, and their combat effectiveness was weak, and they were knocked down by Bailiyan and other officers and soldiers, and they were killed on their backs.

The People's Army was neither equipped with armor nor decent blades, and was generally equipped with old-style copper swords and guns, etc., which was a tin bronze with slightly less tin content, and its toughness and hardness were not as good as the current mature bronze formula, not to mention iron swords and steel, which still had a large inventory in the Ordnance Inventory of Shanling.
