The military order fell like a mountain, and the day after the general of Gao Junshan issued it, the various departments began to move. He sent Bai Wenxuan as the vanguard officer, and after Ma Yuanli's palace, twenty cumbersome Hongyi cannons also followed Ma Yuanli's men and horses to act together.

Gao Junshan led the Chinese army to Xiangyang in a mighty way, and on this day, when he came to a place called Wangjiagou, he ordered the team to stop advancing, rest for a day, and wait for the Hongyi cannon behind.

Before settling down to the camp, the pioneer officer Bai Wenxuan sent a team of men and horses back. It turned out that Bai Wenxuan had caught a messenger of Yang Sichang in front, and he found tokens and documents on the messenger, which were covered with the big seal of Yang Sichang's line, and he knew that the matter was very important, so he sent someone to send Yang Sichang's envoy to the Chinese army camp in Gaojun Mountain.

Gao Junshan opened the document and saw that it was Yang Sichang's order to Yang Shien to stick to Xiangyang and wait for help. After reading the paperwork, he reviewed the messenger again, and a plan to outwit Xiangyang was formed in his mind.

He found Bailisha, Li Xin, and Tian Fang to formulate a detailed set of action plans, and then sent his godsons Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu to implement it.

Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu dressed up as Yang Sichang's messengers, brought a few "entourages" and Yang Sichang's tokens and documents, and rode fast horses to Xiangyang City.

Liu Wenxiu rode his horse to the city gate, raised his head and shouted to the city tower: "Open the city gate quickly!" Open the gates! ”

At the head of the city, a torch was stretched out, and then a head with a rusty helmet poked out and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Liu Wenxiu said: "Urgent official document! Hurry up and open the door, it's a big delay, do you still want your head to think about it!? ”

Soon after the head retracted, a head with a bronze helmet poked out and asked, "Where are you from?" ”

"We are the envoys of the Yang Pavilion Department, and we will send an urgent official document to Deputy General Yang Bing."

The bronze helmet also retracted, and after waiting for a while, the city gate was half opened with a bang, and the bronze helmet held the gate with more than twenty people.

Liu Wenxiu stepped forward and said, "This big brother, we are the envoys of the Yang Pavilion Department, and we have urgent business to enter the city. ”

"Do you have tokens, papers?" The copper-painted helmet looked at Liu Wenxiu indifferently.

Li Dingguo also got off the horse, took out the token and paperwork and gave it to the copper paint helmet for inspection.

The bronze lacquer helmet looked at it and confirmed that it was correct, then handed it back to Li Dingguo and asked, "I usually come alone, why do I have a pair today?" ”

Liu Wenxiu hurriedly replied: "My brother has never been to Xiangyang, he has to come with me to open his eyes, no, I brought him." ”

With a wave of his hand, the bronze helmet made way for the soldiers holding the door. Liu Wenxiu also waved his hand, and the entourage also dismounted and prepared to enter the city.

The bronze lacquer helmet looked at Liu Wenxiu and Li Dingguo and muttered: "I see that there is no one around Yang Gebu, and he actually sent two dicks who didn't have any hair to do things." ”

These words happened to blow into Li Dingguo's ears, Li Dingguo became angry, and shouted at the copper paint helmet: "Who the fuck hasn't grown his dick hair?" Why don't you call your sister to give it a try? ”

"Grandma's! Lao Tzu said that your cock hair didn't grow, what's wrong? ”

Li Dingguo said: "Believe it or not, Lao Tzu took off your head with a knife and used it as a urinal!" ”

The bronze lacquer helmet was even more horizontal than Li Dingguo, and he stretched his neck: "You cut, you cut!" If you don't cut it, you will have the surname Lao Tzu! ”

Who is Li Dingguo, it is the age of the bloody Fanggang, and he was enraged by this copper-lacquered helmet, so he really swung his knife and slashed at the copper-lacquered helmet, cutting off this person's head. I saw a bloody head tumbling to the ground, and the bronze helmet fell off and rolled at the foot of the city.

At this time, the officers and soldiers who were guarding the city were frightened, and they pulled out their swords to fight with Li Dingguo.

Liu Wenxiu pulled out his sword and shouted: "We are the people of the Yang Pavilion Department, see who dares to be presumptuous, don't we want to die?" ”

Liu Wenxiu shouted like this, these officers and soldiers were shocked, and the weapons in their hands slowly drooped, and the entourage who came together took this opportunity to suddenly rush up and cut down more than a dozen city gate soldiers, and the remaining few quickly turned around and went back to close the gate, and they were also caught up by Liu Wenxiu and Li Dingguo, and they fell down next to the gate one by one.

Liu Wenxiu led everyone to quickly rush to the city tower, and the ten soldiers who stayed behind in the city tower looked confused, and were killed by Liu Wenxiu and them all with a sword.

After eliminating the enemies on the castle tower, Liu Wenxiu raised his torch and signaled outside the city.

Li Dingguo stayed at the gate of the city, first mending the knife to a few officers and soldiers who were not yet dead, and then completely pushed open the half-opened gate, waiting for the arrival of the army.

Dou Mingwang and Ainengqi have already been ambushed outside the city gate, they are also dressed as officers and soldiers, waiting for Liu Wenxiu's signal, when they saw the signal from the city, they rushed up and rushed into Xiangyang City.

Yang Shien woke up in his sleep, the rebels had already killed him in front of his bed, and he became a prisoner of the rebels without resistance, and his 3,000 men and horses had already been killed by the rebels, and most of them were disarmed.

As soon as the day dawned, Gao Junshan's army marched into Xiangyang City, and after entering the city, Gao Junshan managed Xiangwang's Mansion according to the Pingliang model, and Xiangyang Mansion naturally became Gao Junshan's official residence.

After occupying Xiangyang, Gao Junshan accepted a large amount of grain and weapons stored in Xiangyang by Yang Sichang, so to speak, the seized materials were piled up, especially a large number of gunpowder and firearms.

In the arsenal of firearms, there are 30 Hongyi cannons, 30 No. 1 guns, 90 No. 2 guns, 300 nine-sided cannons, 500 Tiger Squat cannons, 400 No. 1 Franc machines, 600 No. 2 Franc machines, 300 Tieyong bead cannons, 100 Tielianzhu cannons, 8,000 iron three-eyed guns, and 200,000 catties of gunpowder for each of them.

In the barn there were 500,000 stones of grain and grass, and in the tent there were 30 million carts of silver.

In addition, there are all kinds of weapons, gongs and drums, tents, and all kinds of armor and robes.

In the palace of King Xiang, more than 100,000 taels of silver and various weapons and armor were confiscated.

Xiangwang Mansion covers an area of 60 acres, there are the carrier hall, the round hall, the heart hall, three inner palaces, there are the east study hall, the east mansion, the west mansion, as well as the middle and Xuan, the north courtyard...... The scale of the building is extraordinary.

Gao Junshan also set up his Chongwen Academy in the East Mansion in the Xiangwang Mansion, which shows the importance he attached to the Chongwen Academy.

The happiest thing is Zhou Wenjiang and Pan Duao's navy, because after the occupation of Xiangyang, thousands of sailors near Xiangyang also surrendered to the rebel army, and Zhou Wenjiang's navy has developed greatly, not only the personnel have increased tenfold, but also more than 300 large and small warships.

Xiangwangfu Carrier Palace.

Gao Junshan confidently planned the development of the rebel army. The first military order he issued here was: Zhou Shichen, Jiang Guorong, Liu Da, and Liu Chenggong led 30,000 iron horses across Tongbai Mountain to seize Ruyang, Henan, and share a piece of the pie with Li Zicheng in Henan.

Liu Chenggong was sent with him in order to let the Rocket Cavalry team cooperate with Zhou Shichen's actions, and the Rocket Cavalry Team was already equipped with 200 "swarm" rockets, and this time they brought 24,000 rockets, which could be used for them to carry out ten rounds of launches.

The second military order was to recruit troops in Xiangyang.
