The night wind hit the earthen wall of the barracks, turned slightly, and was immediately annihilated by the latecomers, along the camp gate, along the camp window, and through the wall, blowing the smell of blood very faint, and the night sky returned to its inherent quietness.

A massacre that has just taken place, like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, has long been difficult to find.

A series of shouts were heard from the barracks not long ago, but there were not many remnants of Xining soldiers, and the massacre did not last long.

Looking at the more than 300 soldiers who were bound, Li Zicheng sighed in his heart, the dignified Xiningwei, the establishment of five thousand households, has fallen to such a point, no wonder they were chased and beaten by the Mongols, "Gather them, leave fifty soldiers to guard, and those who try to resist or escape will be executed on the spot!" ”

The next thing to arrest the officers in the city, Xining was not at the forefront of the confrontation with the Mongols, the officers of more than 1,000 households did not stay in the camp, Li Zicheng only divided his troops to arrest them one by one everywhere, fortunately, among the soldiers in Zhenhai Fort, many of them had been stationed in Xining, and they were no strangers to the residence of the officers in the city.

Commanders, commanders, commanders, governors, ambassadors, deputy envoys, etc., had their own soldiers go to fetch people, but Li Zicheng only explained to them, as long as they do not resist, they must not hurt people for the time being.

Li Zicheng didn't know how effective this sentence was, and he even hoped that in the process of arresting, these officers would behave a little bit of a master, at least not be captured, if they were really killed by the soldiers, they would be killed.

Liang Wencheng also sent soldiers, but instead of arresting him, he was invited to come over to discuss matters, and among all the officers of Xiningwei, perhaps only he could remain free.

Li Zicheng personally took his own soldiers and Qin Danian's 300th household to arrest the eunuch Wu Shaoling, in his plan, Wu Shaoling was an indispensable figure, if Wu Shaoling refused to give in, or was killed by the rebels, this great idea would be in vain.

More than 100 soldiers quietly surrounded the Wu Mansion, and Li Zicheng took his own soldiers to the middle gate of the Wu Mansion.

The night is deep, and the middle gate of Wufu is getting deeper and deeper in the faint firelight, I don't know how much floating wealth these two vermilion lacquer gates have devoured, however, tonight, this will be the fattest piece of meat in Xining City.

He Xiaomi rushed to the middle door, raised his hand and wanted to beat, thinking of the past and being afraid, he hesitated for a while, and finally beat it down heavily, accompanied by a broken shout: "Open the door!" ”

"Who?" Fu Ding should have heard the explosion from the direction of the barracks, and did not dare to open the middle door, but just asked questions in the door.

"If I don't open the door again, if I wait to get in, I will be killed!" He Xiaomi touched his aching fist, "Ma Qiao, this middle gate is too thick, it's comparable to the city gate!" ”

Fu Ding couldn't do it, so he had to open the middle door and poke his head out tremblingly, "Who are you?" Why did you come to Wufu in the middle of the night? ”

The soldiers didn't bother to answer, but they swarmed in, and the two mansions were about to stop them, but they were already knocked down by spears, rolling all over the ground covering their wounds, and howling like a game, as if they wanted to deliver a message to Wu Shaoling.

When they were in the barracks just now, the soldiers just threw out twenty gunpowder bags, the real battle, there was no part for them at all, they had to guard Li Zicheng's side, at this time, when they heard the howl of the mansion, they saw blood again, and they suddenly became excited like sharks, and they rushed to the inner room with spears one by one without waiting for Li Zicheng's order.

The howl startled Wu Shaoling, he had already dressed himself, heard the explosions in the direction of the barracks one after another, and knew that something was wrong, and had sent the Fuding out to investigate, but the Fuding had not yet returned to the Fuding, so he didn't know what was going on outside, and he heard the howl heartbreaking, and immediately came to the middle hall under the escort of several Fuding.

By the candlelight, Wu Shaoling saw a group of strangers coming to his house, and he was still rummaging through boxes and cabinets with spears, and he was surprised, "Who are you?" Why did you trespass on Wufu? ”

"Grandpa Wu, don't come to harm?" Li Zicheng came out from behind his own soldiers and stood directly in front of Wu Shaoling.

"Li Zicheng?" Wu Shaoling's heart was a little settled, and then he realized that something was wrong, "You are not in Zhenhai Fort, why did you come to Xining?" You still dare to trespass into the Wu Mansion and injure our family's mansion? ”

"Grandpa Wu, it's a long story." Li Zicheng signaled with his eyes, and his own soldiers relied on the large number of people, stepped forward to disarm the Fuding, and escorted them to a corner to take care of them, and Wu Shaoling suddenly became a loner.

"You ......" He pointed at Li Zicheng, his breath was not smooth, he coughed violently, bent over and pounded for a long time, before smoothing the airflow and straightening his waist, "Li Zicheng, trespassing into Wufu at night, are you guilty?" ”

Li Zicheng smiled coldly, "Gonggong Wu, your mansion has been captured, how can you treat the crimes of your subordinates?" ”

Wu Shaoling suddenly looked like a frosted eggplant, and squinted at the shrunken mansion again, stomped his feet angrily, and a cold aura shot out of his cold eyes, "Holding the eunuch hostage is an unforgivable crime, Li Zicheng, what do you want to do?" ”

Li Zicheng met this gaze, a trace of happiness on his face dissolved the coldness, and said with a chuckle: "My lord, my subordinates came from afar and asked to see Gonggong Wu late at night, can't I reward my subordinates with a cup of herbal tea?" ”

In Li Zicheng's plan, Wu Shaoling played a very important role, without his cooperation, it would be impossible to stabilize Ganzhou and the imperial court, and it is likely that without preparation, the imperial army will be attracted to attract the imperial army.

Wu Shaoling's face was gloomy, and he glanced at the soldiers beside Li Zicheng, "Then get together with our study." At this time, his mind had already turned a corner, Li Zicheng naturally dared to attack Xining, he must have made sufficient preparations, and a few words that were not salty or light could not scare him at all.

"Father-in-law, please!" Li Zicheng made a gesture of invitation, and then turned back to the soldiers and said, "Without my instructions, you must not move around the Wu Mansion at will." ”

In the study of Wu Mansion, Wu Shaoling still chose the main position, his face was gloomy as if he could drip water, but his eyes were staring at Li Zicheng's every move, Li Zicheng sat down on the side, and returned to Wu Shaoling with his eyes, always maintaining a faint smile on his face.

Wu Shaoling couldn't help it, "Zicheng, tell our family, what happened?" ”

"It's nothing, father-in-law doesn't need to be nervous," Li Zichengyun said lightly: "My subordinates have just temporarily taken over the defense of Xining!" ”

"You ......" Wu Shaoling was shocked, his eyes widened, his eyebrows unconsciously raised upward, and seeing Li Zicheng's indifferent look, he finally eased his tone, "Zicheng, do you know what you're doing?" ”

"Thank you father-in-law for mentioning it, my subordinates naturally know what they are doing!" Li Zicheng arched his hand and saluted Wu Shaoling, but his face was full of ridicule.

"So, you made the explosion?" Seeing that Li Zicheng did not deny it, he continued: "What happened to the soldiers? ”

"It's not that good, all the soldiers who disarmed and surrendered are now tied up and guarded in a centralized manner," Li Zicheng suddenly smiled and stroked the hilt of the saber at his waist, "Those who try to resist or run away naturally don't need to live in this world." ”

Wu Shaoling's heart sank suddenly, "There are many officers in the city, as long as one of them escapes, the imperial court will definitely send heavy troops to encircle and suppress them, how many soldiers are you, are you ready?" ”

"Father-in-law doesn't have to worry about his subordinates," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "The officers of Weili are drinking tea with my people at the moment, but unlike my father-in-law, they are all tied with ropes. ”

Wu Shaoling sighed, knowing that Li Zicheng had already made up his mind, "Zicheng, what is this for?" ”

"Father-in-law, in fact, I don't want to do this, if it weren't for the kingdom coming to Xining, such a big thing wouldn't have happened," Li Zicheng asked rhetorically: "Father-in-law, the kingdom came to Xining, should have you looked for your father-in-law, right?" ”

"The kingdom has indeed looked for our family," Wu Shaoling pondered carefully, this is not a killing thing, "The kingdom mentioned to our family that they wanted Zicheng to return to Ganzhou, but our family did not agree, besides, Zicheng returned to Ganzhou, and should be reused by Ganzhou, is there anything else our family doesn't know?" ”

"There are indeed some things I don't know," Li Zicheng said with a straight face: "My father-in-law is so important to his subordinates, how can his subordinates be willing to leave Xining and return to that sad place in Ganzhou?" ”

"Since we really want to miss Xining, our family can talk to the kingdom, and stay is, why is it such a tense situation?" Wu Shaoling only said that things can be eased, "It's just you, how will you clean up the situation in the future?" ”

"The father-in-law didn't know anything, and his subordinates swore to the kingdom and swore to be with the father-in-law, but the kingdom didn't force it, but just ......"

"Just what ......"

"Don't hide it from my father-in-law, while my subordinates bought war horses for Weili, I also got a few war horses, without war horses, in the vast grassland, how to find the whereabouts of the Mongols?"

"Our family has also heard a little about this matter, so our family has not investigated it deeply."

"Thank you father-in-law for showing compassion to his subordinates," Li Zicheng saluted again, "but that kingdom not only has to confiscate all the war horses under its subordinates, but also ...... He also has to divide all the food and salary with him, and the father-in-law can know that without food, how can the soldiers eat their stomachs and guard Zhenhai Fort? The kingdom is forcing its subordinates to a dead end! ”

"This kingdom is just a Ganzhou general, can you dare to rebel?" Wu Shaoling was furious and slapped the square table hard, "Where is the kingdom?" Our family wants to teach him a lesson in person, a military attaché, is so rampant! ”

"Don't work for your father-in-law, my father-in-law is a eunuch in Xining, and if you offend your colleagues, you should leave it to your subordinates," Li Zicheng smiled slightly, "My subordinates were also as angry as my father-in-law at that time, and there was naturally a conflict in my words, I didn't want the kingdom to be a rough person, so I actually drew a sword against my subordinates, but unfortunately, I didn't know how to learn art......

"Huh? Are you fighting? Wu Shaoling's heart suddenly jumped, and his face couldn't hide his worry, "How is the kingdom now?" ”

"It's dead," Li Zicheng said lightly: "To deal with such a villain, why do you need your father-in-law to make a move?" ”

"Dead?" Wu Shaoling was shocked, his open mouth almost forgot to close, and after a long time, Fang said: "Self-made, killing Shangguan without permission is a capital crime!" ”

"The subordinates know," Li Zicheng smiled coldly, "If the subordinates are captured by Xining, Ganzhou, or any of the imperial courts, they will inevitably die, and the subordinates will be forced to protect themselves." ”

At this time, Wu Shaoling knew that Li Zicheng had no way back, and it would be in vain to persuade him, the most important thing at the moment was to save his life, and fine beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead, "Zicheng, our family has always treated you well!" ”

"That's why my subordinates treat my father-in-law with courtesy, and I will give my father-in-law a way out." Li Zicheng smiled mysteriously, his eyes fell on Wu Shaoling's face, and he didn't go for a long time.
