It was a group of students wearing various Confucian shirts and scarves on their heads, it seemed that the previous days were not very satisfactory, they were all children of the poor family, and the leader of Yanding couldn't help but feel some sympathy in his heart.

Hearing the question, and then looking at the leader of the salt ding in front of him, the leading student took out a study slip from the placket and handed it over, and said with a smile:

"It's a rush to Suizhou, and I hope to get a good academic performance."

There is nothing wrong with this study post, and the leader of the salt ding skillfully turned a few pages and replied smoothly:

"Oh~, it turned out to be a student of Xiayi, I heard that there was a locust plague a while ago, how is the harvest in the field of the villagers?"

The student smiled calmly, arched his hand and said:

"Thanks to the eldest brother's concern, thanks to the Grange of the Marquis of Anton, my family can be regarded as having some surplus grain, this time the locust plague can barely survive, before I came, my father and mother kept telling me that I must go to the temple to give the Hou Ye a pillar of incense, saying that it is the temple of the state city."

The leader of the salt ding smiled and said a few words to him, handed back the study post, pointed to the back and said that it was the temple, and then turned back and asked:

"All of these are from Xiayi?"

The leading student nodded, glanced at several Shandong military spearmen who were standing guard in the city, and said:

"It's all Xiayi's fathers and fellow villagers, hey, by the way, there are a lot of people who met halfway, so I came with a companion."

Following his gaze, the leader of the salt ding stopped in front of a student wearing a scarf, looked up and down, and suddenly asked:

"What about the study post, it's also from Xiayi?"

When the student heard this, he trembled obviously, raised his head and stumbled:

"Return, return to the military master... We are also from Xiayi, and all of our family members are dead..."

Hearing this, the leader of the salt ding sighed, walked a few steps forward, suddenly remembered something, turned back and asked:

"Wait, your accent doesn't sound like Xia Yi's, it's... Like..."

The leader of the salt ding patted his head a few times, as if he was thinking about it, and the student's eyes tightened, and he inadvertently stretched out his hand to the back of his body, as if he could move at any time.

At this time, a student from the back came out and said with a smile:

"Big brother is so keen, our ancestors are from Kaifeng, a while ago, the heroes of the Shandong Army and the Chuang Army were fighting in Guide, and they came to Guide only when they fled."

Hearing this, the leader of the salt ding slapped his thigh, suddenly realized, and said with a smile:

"I see, what you just said is very true, the territory of our Shandong Army, naturally not those thieves can come in casually, okay, let's go in, and then Lord Yushi is afraid of waiting."

After saying that, the leader of the salt ding laughed a few times, walked back, and waved his hand to signal the next batch.

He didn't pay attention, the student who was talking to him just now, when he heard the word thief, there was obviously a trace of murder in his eyes, but he quickly endured it.

On the ninth day of the first month, it was also very calm, and on the evening of the tenth day of the first month, Liu Zhongzhou, the superintendent of the imperial history, and Li Le'an, the governor of Suizhou, were taking the examination in the school, and countless students and people gathered there to watch, pointing fingers inside.

Garrison Chen Huang, as a military general, was inconvenient to stay there after he arrived to give a speech, and increased the garrison around the academy several times, and he was also guarding outside the academy.

But at this time, many people who looked like students turned out of the small alleys in the city, and they nodded silently to each other and hid in the alleys.

Not long after, a group of about five or six patrols from the foreign department of the Shandong Army walked by with torches, and they had to walk back and forth several times a day on this road, and there were never any problems, so they didn't care.

Suddenly, countless students rushed out of the darkness, holding short blades, and rushed up, and these Shandong army patrols were put to the ground before they could make a sound, and they couldn't survive.

At the city gate, Dong Qi, the head of Qian, was wearing armor and hovering here with a steel knife in his hand, and said:

"Tonight, the official's eyelids are always jumping, look carefully, the school is examined, the imperial history of the imperial court can be in our Suizhou, there must be no accidents."

Hearing this, the foreign soldiers above and below the city gate all answered loudly, staring intently at the outside of the city, but they didn't expect that danger was quietly coming from behind them.

Dong Qi felt a gust of wind behind him, and turned his head to look at it violently, but he only saw the black hole in the market, and there was not a single ghost, and he muttered a few times at the moment:

"Damn, what's going on with Lao Tzu today."

But just half of his body was turned around, and a short blade suddenly pierced his lower abdomen, Dong Qi spurted out a mouthful of blood with a "poof", and turned around to cut it while holding the knife.

It's just that this hasty knife was pounced, Dong Qi covered his bleeding lower abdomen with his left hand, and shouted loudly:

"Someone is entering the city, go and inform the garrison!"

Hearing what he said, the person who came was not nervous, smiled hehe, and said:

"The other two gates are under our control, and if you scream out your throat, no one will come to save you."

Countless thieves were born in the city, creating murder and arson, and all of a sudden, the orderly Suizhou City became a hell on earth, with screams and crackling burning sounds everywhere.

Because Li Guo had premeditated on his side, the news was very tightly controlled, and it was not until the fire suddenly broke out that Chen Huang, who was a garrison in the north of the city, saw the clues, but before that, he didn't get any news.

The permanent strength of Suizhou City is only more than 3,000 foreign soldiers and horses, and in addition, there are more than 800 salt officers of the Salt Bureau, which are nothing compared with the 7,000 old battalions of the Shun army.

"Garrison, the city gate has been occupied by thieves, quickly retreat!"

"The east of the city is full of thieves under the banner of the Shun army."

"Mr. Dong Qian died in Xicheng, and all the soldiers and horses over there have been killed!"

Listening to the sudden bad news, the garrison Chen Huang leaned against the door weakly, how could this be possible, how could there be so many thieves and cavalry suddenly coming, and those places in front were all-eating!?

At present, there are only less than 2,000 foreign soldiers left under Chen Huang's hands, and the other party doesn't know how many people have come, and the water surrounding Suizhou City is impassable, and no one can run out to deliver the news.

"Pass on the official's order, everyone, stick to the school, and the students must not fall into the hands of thieves!" Watching the pacesetter ride on his horse and run out, Chen Huang knelt down with a puff in the direction of Xuzhou, crying and shouting:

"Hou Ye, Hou Ye, the last general is incompetent, the last general is incompetent! The defeat of the Shandong Army turned out to be the handiwork of my Chen Huang, so what kind of face did I have to meet my Chen family ancestor!! ”

......

On June 12, the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, the matter of Suizhou spread all over the Central Plains like a thunderbolt, and the Shandong army was defeated!

Li Guo, the old battalion general of the Shun army, led 7,000 elite cavalry to lurk in Huanglinggang for several days, which coincided with the time when Liu Zhongzhou, the superintendent of the imperial history, came to Suizhou to take the examination of students, so he disguised himself as a student and mixed into the city.

On the evening of the 10th day of the first month, a fire broke out suddenly in the city, the city gate was opened, and 7,000 Shun soldiers and cavalry entered the city on three sides, after a fierce street battle, 3,000 soldiers and horses from the Shandong army and 800 salt of the salt department of the Anti-Salt Bureau did not escape, and all were killed.

Garrison Chen Huang, Qian Zong Dong Qi and others died in battle, Zhizhou Li Le'an was killed by Li Guo, and Liu Zhongzhou, the superintendent of the imperial history, led more than 1,000 students in the city to resist spontaneously, and died of self-immolation after failure.

In this battle, the Shun army captured Suizhou, which was garrisoned by the Shandong army, plundered all night, due to the fierce resistance of the residents in the city, the head of 3,000, and returned to Xiangyang at dawn with the power of victory.

Li Zicheng, the king of Shun, was overjoyed when he heard about the victory in Suizhou, and praised Li Guo as a tiger general of the three armies, a general of the right to be crowned, and he was in the same column as He Jin.
