In fact, Yan Keqiu's analysis was very accurate, when the people of Runzhou began to accuse An Renyi of lawlessness, Zhang Hao sensed the conspiracy in it, and felt that this was Yang Xingmi's move to prepare to deal with An Renyi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Of course, he didn't know that Yang Xingmi had secretly let Li Chengsi's cavalry prepare to attack Shouzhou, so after learning that the roads north to Shouzhou were blocked and all those who crossed the border were closely interrogated, he didn't dare to send anyone to contact Zhu Yanshou; However, although the road to Shouzhou was blocked, the road to Runzhou in the south was still smooth, so he sent a secret envoy to take Zhu Yanshou's token and contact An Renyi and Tian Yan directly.

As for Zhu Yanshou, because the news from the north and south was cut off, he didn't get the news that An Renyi and the two had rebelled at this time, and Yang Xingmi also sent him an order a few days ago, asking him to prepare to attack Suzhou together when Yang Wu led the army to attack Mizhou.

Therefore, now he still thinks that his conspiracy has not been revealed, but he did not expect that the means prepared by Yang Xingmi have been launched.

Outside the city, Li Chengsi immediately took action after receiving Yang Xingmi's military order to do it.

Different from An Renyi and Zhang Hao's approach, Li Chengsi chose to do it at night, because the people in the city had already rested at night, and they could act quickly without worrying about the casualties of the people; Second, the Shouzhou army will not dare to act rashly without preparation, so that they can control the situation.

That night, Li Chengsi's lieutenant Shi Yan led hundreds of cavalry to rush to the south gate with torches, while Li Chengsi led the rest of the cavalry to ambush in the shadows.

"Open the gates quickly! I am the cavalry commander Shi Yan, and I have come to convey the military order on the order of the king! Open the door quickly! As soon as he arrived at the city, Shi Yan shouted loudly.

On the city tower, Shouzhou is an important frontier town, heavily guarded, and even in peacetime, there are a large number of soldiers on the city tower; And their leaders are generally battalion commanders.

However, tonight seems to be a little different, Heiyun Du commanded Lu Shizhou to personally come to the city tower to inspect tonight! Fortunately, there have been many times before when the general personally inspected the city defense, so everyone was not surprised.

"Is it finally this day?"

At this time, Lu Shizhou listened to Shi Yan's shout under the city, and immediately took a deep breath. He was born as a general, his grandfather was a general at the beginning, and his father Lu Ke followed Sun Ru to the south, and later surrendered Yang Xingmi was appointed as the commander of Heiyundu, and then after his father's death, he inherited his father's business and became the new commander.

As a Jiangmen family, he knows that the best way to save his life in troubled times is to be loyal to the strong, and he is more optimistic about Yang Xingmi between Yang Xingmi and Zhu Yanshou. After all, whether it is the name of righteousness or the specific strength, Yang Xingmi is much stronger than Zhu Yanshou.

What's more, compared to Zhu Yanshou's brutality and killing, Yang Xingmi's lenient character made him feel more reassured; In addition, his friend Zhou Yin personally wrote a letter to persuade him, so he naturally took refuge in Yang Xingmi without hesitation.

"The generals below, please forgive me, it's too late now, I can't tell your identity at all, Shouzhou is located on the border, it is extremely important, please forgive me for not being able to open the city gate at night, what military order will be passed on tomorrow!"

Although he wanted to open the city gate, Lu Shizhou also knew that he couldn't behave too abnormally, there would inevitably be no Zhu Yanshou's henchmen among these defenders, and if he didn't hesitate and rashly ordered the city gate to be opened, it would make people suspicious.

If only these defender soldiers were his subordinates, but these soldiers were not his subordinates, although he also brought a lot of Black Cloud soldiers with him during the inspection, but if it really aroused everyone's suspicion, he was afraid that it would cause a conflict, and the whole operation might fail at that time.

"Who are you? What this general brought was King Wu's urgent military order, which must be conveyed to Zhu Envoy Jun as quickly as possible, if you delay the time, can you afford this crime? ”

Unlike Lu Shizhou, Shi Yan only knew that there would be their internal response on the city tower, but he didn't know the specific identity of the internal response, and when he saw that Lu Shizhou was unwilling to open the city gate, he immediately intimidated.

"This general Heiyun is the commander of Lu Shizhou! General Shi is also a veteran general in the army, so he naturally knows that the city gate must not be opened at night, and he also asks the general not to embarrass him! If the general really has an important military order from King Wu, please ask the general to prove his identity first! The general knew that General Shi Yan went south with General Li Chengsi in the past, and he was a mortal enemy with Zhu Quanzhong, so he would definitely not take refuge in Zhu Quanzhong! At the junction of Shouzhou and Zhu Quanzhong, what he was most worried about was that Zhu Quanzhong sent someone to pretend to be the envoy of King Wu to deceive the city gate. So if you can prove that you are General Shi Yan, you will open the city gate! ”

Lu Shizhou's original intention was to open the city gate, and at the same time, he didn't want others to suspect him, so he made such a request. The people around really didn't suspect it, just like Lu Shizhou said, what they were worried about was that Zhu Quanzhong pretended to be the envoy of King Wu to deceive the city gate; If the city was really General Shi Yan, and their immediate boss Lu Shizhou personally ordered the city gate to be opened, they would naturally not have an opinion.

Shi Yan listened to Lu Shizhou's reply and suddenly felt bright, the other party's words were completely for him! If the other party insists that Shi Yan pass the military order after dawn, or asks Shi Yan to ride the hanging basket on the city wall alone, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to do it.

However, it is easy to prove his identity, he went to Suzhou with Yang Xingmi in June last year, and he often dealt with the Shouzhou army at that time, so someone must be able to recognize him.

As for taking out Yang Xingmi's edict, this matter was a difficult matter for An Renyi and Zhang Hao, who could only forge a warrant, and in the end the deputy general of the city gate could not prove the authenticity and refused; But for Shi Yan, it was a trivial matter, these things Yang Xingmi had already prepared properly, and there were no loopholes.

Shi Yan slowly rode under the city gate, then the torch illuminated his appearance, and shouted to the people on the city tower: "Do you see clearly? The general is Shi Yan, who else dares to pretend to be the general? Lu Shizhou, the last time I passed by Shouzhou, the general drank with you, did you forget the general? There are other people, Ben Jiang also stayed in Shouzhou for a while, don't you all know Ben Jiang? ”

On the city tower, Lu Shizhou smiled at the people next to him: "It should be General Shi himself, there is no doubt that he saw him when he drank with him last time, and the scar on his face has not been forgotten; Commander Lee, what do you think? ”

Commander Li was the leader of these defenders, and he had also met Shi Yan in June last year, and at this time, he carefully identified the city by the light of the fire, and after confirming that the person was Shi Yan, he nodded and replied, "It is indeed General Shi." ”

Lu Shizhou nodded, and shouted loudly to the city: "General Shi, please don't be surprised, it is too dangerous to open the city gate at night, you must be cautious!" Please also ask the general to throw the token up, and only open the city gate after the general has checked that it is correct! ”
