"Which one is General Li" The guard came to Li Yan and Li Zhong, looked at the two of them in similar clothes, and then asked with a fist.

Li Mou smiled and said, "Both of us are surnamed Li." ”

The guards of the palace immediately knew the answer, and bowed to Li Yan with their fists in their fists and said, "General Li, I am humbled by the order of King Chitose of Zhou, and I have come to invite the general to enter the city and discuss with Governor Gao about the defense of Kaifeng. ”

Li Yan nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, captain wait a minute, let Li arrange it." ”

"General, please." The palace guards agreed, and they went to wait outside the military formation.

Li Yan instructed Li Mu: "Don't disperse the troops, just camp here." I'll take someone in and see what benefits King Zhou wants to give us. As for Chen Yongfu, you wait for my signal, and when you see red fireworks, you will attack the city. ”

"Then what are you going to do in there" Li Mou persuaded: "In the city, Chen Yongfu has the final say." Besides, what can King Zhou give us, isn't it just some money?"

Li Yan said with a smile: "It's nothing, there are still social soldiers in the city, as well as Ding Qirui and Gao Mingheng, and Chen Yongfu doesn't dare to mess around." Prepare you to attack the city, just in case. As for what King Zhou can give us, it's hard to say. After all, this is his fiefdom, and his right to speak is very important to Beijing. ”

Li Mu frowned and said: "If you want the territory, you still need the consent of the imperial court, let's just take it ourselves, who can do what we do, there is no need to take this risk." ”

"If you can have one less enemy, you will have one less enemy." Li Yan explained: "Although our strength is not weak now, you have also seen that if you meet someone like Luo Rucai, bypass us and go directly to our hinterland to harass us, we will be affected in the end." ”

Li Mu nodded and said: "Okay, as long as you send a signal, didn't I hit the northeast corner in half an hour and was blown up by Li Zicheng, I will take the troops there." ”

"Good idea, go get ready." Li Yan happily commanded. He was happy for Li Mou's maturity, and he was not as reckless as before.

Li Yan asked Feng Cheng to choose a wing to go in with them, and he also brought some bombs, preparing to hold out for a while when there was danger in the city.

After that, Li Yan entered the city with troops and the guards of the palace, but when he entered the city gate, he was stopped by the guards and soldiers.

"No, you can't enter," ordered the officer guarding the gates, "there are too many people, and I can only bring twenty people into the city." ”

The guards of the palace said dissatisfiedly: "Didn't I say that this is General Li invited by King Zhou Chitose." ”

"Chen Dashuai's order, in order to prevent thieves from sneaking into the city, no matter who it is, he can bring up to twenty people into the city. And you can't bring weapons in. The officer guarding the city gate said unaccommodatingly.

"You" the palace guard pointed at the officer, but he didn't know what to say. Chen Yongfu was the main force of the Kaifeng garrison, and he did not dare to offend.

Li Yan said to the guards of the palace: "You go back and discuss with the prince, and I will go to my military formation and wait." You make it clear to the prince that without these three hundred and fifty guards, Li would not dare to enter the city. ”

The palace guards are also sideways, although the power of the palace is much smaller now than at the beginning of the country, but after all, it is the emperor and noble, how can anyone dare to talk to the prince like this He nodded and went into the city by himself.

Li Yan retreated with his guards and three hundred soldiers, and Chen Yongfu, who was at the head of the city, did not dare to order an attack. Li Yan's army of more than 10,000 was in the distance, and if a war broke out, he felt that there was no way to deal with Li Yan's artillery.

Li Mu waited for Li Yan to come back, and after knowing the situation, he frowned and said, "Fourth brother, you don't have to go, I see that Chen Yongfu just wants to do it in the city." ”

Li Yan looked at the city with a telescope and found Chen Yongfu, who was also observing him. Sneered: "Well, that makes sense. That guy is on the head of the city, and it seems that he wants to avenge the arrow in Qi County. ”

"That's right" Li Mu said with a smile: "If you want the land, let's just take it ourselves." Now it is much more convenient, the surrounding counties have been killed, and the big gentry have either died or run away, which is much simpler than Guide Mansion. ”

Li Yan was impressed by Li Mu, and even began to think about this factor. He smiled and nodded, "Well, that's a good point. But let's go to the northeast corner first, and while the city wall has not been repaired at this time, let's accumulate some experience. In the future, there will inevitably be a siege, so let's see what to do. ”

"That's a good idea," Li Mu nodded and said, "Let's go over in a while, maybe Chen Yongfu's gang will also pass, let's collapse the city wall and kill him." ”

"Good idea, let's go." Li Yan laughed.

The two of them led their troops to the northeast corner and watched from a distance at the large crater that had been blown out of the city wall.

"Well, it's just a little bit, so if you want to blow up the city in the future, you must put it all in**." Li Yan commented.

Li Mu nodded and said, "That's it, if you take a few more shells, it will probably collapse." ”

At this time, the guards of the palace finally found them, and after entering, they hugged their fists and said, "General Li can make it easy for me to find them." The prince has already told General Chen, and General Chen has agreed that you will take the troops into the city. ”

Li Mu waved his hand and said, "I'm not going."

Li Yan stopped Li Mu and said, "Okay, let's go in." ”

Although Li Mu was a little dissatisfied, Li Yan had already decided, and it was not good to oppose it in front of outsiders.

This time, Li Yan took the guards and three hundred soldiers into the city smoothly. He hasn't been to Kaifeng for a year, but now Kaifeng is no longer as prosperous as it used to be. Many houses have no door panels, and the same is true for the shops facing the street, with empty doors and windows. In the streets, there were countless fires, some soldiers were cooking, and many women were cooking. As for the hawkers, they are even more extinct.

"The thieves haven't entered the city yet, why are they like this," Li Yan asked with a frown.

The palace guard replied: "Such a big Kaifeng city, but there are not many troops in the city, and without the help of the people in the city, it can't be defended at all." Every household in Kaifeng City has no habit of saving firewood, and even for breakfast, they are reluctant to start a fire at home. The thieves besieged the city for more than 20 days, and there was not enough firewood, so they had to burn the doors and windows first. The palaces also took out a lot of furniture to chop wood for burning, and large merchants also donated a lot of cotton clothes. If it weren't for the unity of mind, Kaifeng wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long. ”

Li Yan shook his head with a smile, disagreeing with the words of the palace guards. It's only been more than 20 days, and it's clear that I'm not prepared.

The palace guard continued: "By the way, there is God's blessing and General Li's timely dispatch of troops. The explosion really shook the ground, and the city walls were not blown down. Some people have already seen it, saying that the city wall is only more than a foot thick and still standing. Think about it, it's only more than a foot thick, isn't this God bless, let's open the city, blessed, or we can't do the Tokyo City of the former Song Dynasty. ”
