Yang Lian's words were shocking enough. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Pan Sen's face changed, he hurriedly knelt on the ground, raised his hand to cover his chest, and said: "Yang Jiedu, the end will change the evil and follow the good, the sun and the moon can be seen." The last general swears here, if he betrays the Tang Dynasty and betrays Yang Jiedu, he is willing to die with ten thousand arrows through his heart. ”

Yang Lian squinted his eyes and looked at him, seeing that he was firm, not like a lie.

Seeing Yang Lian's disbelief, Pan Sen saw that there was a sword on the shelf that Yang Lian was wearing, stood up suddenly, walked quickly to the sword, and pulled out his sharp blade.

This scene surprised everyone who knelt down, and someone hurriedly looked at Yang Lian, is this Pan Sen going to kill Yang Lian? Yang Lian stood unhurriedly, looking calm, slanting his eyes and glancing at Pan Sen, his mouth closed and he didn't speak.

After Pan Sen pulled out his sword, he immediately crossed his neck and said, "Since Yang Jiedu refuses to believe in Pan's loyalty, Pan is willing to prove it." As he spoke, he got up with his hand, and he was about to draw his knife and kill himself.

Yang Lian shouted at this time: "Slow! Then he paced over, with a smile on his face, and said, "General Pan doesn't need to be like this, just now it was just a temptation." If you are offended, I hope that General Pan will be lenient. ”

Pan Sen was stunned for a moment, then he reacted, put down the sword in his hand, and said, "Yang Jiedu's words are serious, and the last general will not dare." So saying, he put his sword into its scabbard and stepped back.

Yang Lian glanced at the few people who were still kneeling, waved his hand, and said, "That's it, you all get up." ”

"Thank you!" As they spoke, they stood up, and several of them looked at Pan Sen, who was now the head of the crowd.

Yang Lian smiled and said with satisfaction: "You can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and I am very pleased in my heart." You are all outstanding people, and you have been in Fuzhou for many years, and you still need your contribution to stabilize Fuzhou. ”

When everyone heard this, their faces were happy, and then Pan Sen arched his hand and said: "If Yang Jiedu is sent, we will naturally be willing to take the lead and help Yang Jiedu sweep Fuzhou." ”

Pan Sen made a statement, causing everyone to speak, all of them expressing their loyalty to Yang Lian, otherwise, the robe that died in the hall just now would be their example. Listening to the gossip voice, Yang Lian raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.

"I have wronged you in the past two days, and this festival has prepared a meal, you can go and enjoy it." After Yang Lian finished speaking, he sat back in his seat, picked up a copy of the fold and looked at it.

Pan Sen persuaded: "Yang Jiedu, the last general and others want to toast Yang Jiedu with a few glasses of wine." ”

Yang Lian waved his hand and said with a smile: "You guys go to eat first, I've already eaten this section." As he spoke, he continued to look at the excerpts.

Pan Sen reluctantly left with everyone, at this time, Chen Tie hurriedly walked in from outside, closed the door with his hand, walked four or five steps in front of Yang Lian, hugged his fists, and said: "Yang Jiedu, I just got the news that there are some problems in Jianzhou, and I am afraid that the army will not arrive in Fuzhou in five days." ”

Yang Lian frowned and asked, "What's wrong with the reinforcements from Jianzhou?" How did such a big mistake occur? ”

Chen Tielang said: "According to the news obtained by the humble post, there are some problems on the part of the army on the Jianzhou side, and I heard that some people in the army think that it is impossible for Yang Jiedu to take Fuzhou, so the way here is delayed, and it is said that they are ready to send people to see the situation in Fuzhou and then make a decision." ”

"Confused!" Yang Lian stood up very angrily and paced quickly in the room, his footsteps were hurried, obviously Yang Lian's mood was extremely bad.

"I want to report to the imperial court and impeach the history of the Jianzhou assassination, if Fuzhou gains and loses, it is not too much to copy the history of the Jianzhou assassination." Yang Lian sneered, quickly sat down, and asked Chen Tie to sharpen his ink and prepare to write an excerpt.

Cha Wenhui heard the conversation between Yang Lian and Chen Tie, and hurriedly walked out, saying: "Yang Jiedu, although the Jianzhou Assassin Shi wants to be impeached, but now the most urgent thing is to block this matter. Otherwise, Wu Yueguo knew that Bao Xiurang would definitely lead his troops to attack. ”

Yang Lian frowned and said: "What Cha Liuhou said is very true, although Bao Xiu is a hundred miles away, as long as the news is strictly controlled, after five days, the soldiers and horses of Jianzhou will enter Fuzhou, even if Bao Xiu makes him come, it will be useless." ”

Chen Tiedao: "Bao Xiurang is just a side general, even if he gets the news and reports it to Hangzhou, when the will comes from Hangzhou, at least half a month has passed." ”

Yang Lian shook his head and said: "Bao Xiurang is a border general, he will definitely get certain rights, if he gets the news, the first thing he will do is to gather troops and horses, rush to Fuzhou, and at the same time write to Hangzhou to explain the matter." The lord of Wu Yue will definitely not blame him. ”

Chen Tie gasped and said, "In this way, this matter must be kept secret, and it must not be known to others." ”

Yang Lian nodded, asking Chen Tie not to leak this matter.

On the hills more than ten miles outside Fuzhou City, Bao Xiurang stood on a protruding boulder in full armor, looking at Fuzhou City in the distance. It was already dark, and oil lamps and candles were lit all over Fuzhou City, and the stars were dotted, which was very eye-catching. Fuzhou City fell into the hands of the Tang people, this is what Bao Xiu didn't want, he had already made a plan and was ready to attack Fuzhou City, but now he didn't know the specific situation of Fuzhou City, so he was still waiting for news from the spies in the city. With the news, he can make corresponding countermeasures.

The wind on the hill was very strong, blowing Bao Xiu to let the body float backwards, although Fuzhou is not cold in winter, but the wind blows, like a knife cut on the face, there is still a trace of chill. Bao Xiurang was a little anxious, he knew that since the Tang people had taken Fuzhou, then Jianzhou in the north would definitely send reinforcements, if the reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty arrived in Fuzhou and occupied the terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, it would be difficult for Wu Yue to counterattack Fuzhou.

Just as Bao Xiu was thinking, his nephew Bao Sheng hurriedly walked over, handed over a letter, and said, "Uncle, this is a letter sent back by the secret agents in the city who risked their lives. ”

Bao Xiurang took the envelope under the moonlight, and the fire paint on the envelope was still intact, which proved that the letter had not been opened. He opened the envelope, Bao Sheng brought a torch, and by the light of the fire, Bao Xiurang looked at the letter carefully, and his originally frowning brows couldn't help but stretch out.

Bao Sheng saw his uncle overjoyed and asked, "Uncle, is there a happy event?" ”

"Yes, there is a happy event. After the order was given, the soldiers immediately rested, and set out at five o'clock tonight to attack Fuzhou. Also, you now send someone to urge reinforcements. Bao Xiurang commanded.

"Whoa!" Bao Sheng replied, and immediately hurried down to arrange things.

Bao Xiurang held the letter in his hand, groaned for a while, and read it carefully, and then burned the letter. Jump off a boulder and rest against a tree. At the fifth watch, he said that he was fast and fast, and he got up after a sleep, and after a hurried wash, Bao Xiurang let the three armies have a full meal, and set off at night.

The sky was a little dark, and in order not to attract the attention of Fuzhou City, Bao Xiurang did not let the soldiers light the torches, so the journey was a little difficult. In particular, many soldiers have finch disease and cannot see clearly at night, so Bao Xiurang can only let the soldiers without finch disease in front and those with finch disease in the back, holding a rope in their hands, so as not to lose their way.

In the rear army, there were still many soldiers pushing carts, loaded with axes and other objects, and rushed towards Fuzhou City. Wu Yue's army of 3,000 soldiers and horses, all the way cautiously forward, although the road is not far, but because the road is relatively difficult to walk, the soldiers can not see clearly, until the sky is bright, the fifth watch is very exhausted, and then rushed to a flat land more than five miles away from Fuzhou City.

The city of Fuzhou not far away is like a sleeping turtle in the dark, unusually strong. However, at this time, it was the time when the Tang people's power was the weakest, and although Bao Xiurang lacked siege equipment, he had to choose to attack at this time to achieve a surprising victory.

Seeing that there was a dense forest nearby, Bao Xiurang immediately ordered the baggage battalion to build the simplest siege equipment - the ladder. Although the ladder was simple, because the east and south of Fuzhou were flanked by the sea and the river, the army could only attack Fuzhou from the north and northwest - unless Bao Xiu had enough sailors to transport the army to the sandy beaches in the south of Fuzhou before attacking Fuzhou from anywhere. But judging from Bao Xiurang's current situation, it is obvious that he cannot get the support of the water master.

Therefore, for Bao Xiurang, as long as he focuses on attacking the northern city of Fuzhou, 3,000 troops are enough. What's more, the Tang people don't have many soldiers and horses, as long as they can attack the city, they have a great chance of taking Fuzhou City.

Not only are the soldiers of the baggage battalion busy, but other soldiers are also seizing the time to help, and only by making a batch of ladders as soon as possible can they attack the city. It doesn't matter if the ladder is rough, as long as it is sturdy, it is enough. It took a full hour, and with the efforts of 3,000 soldiers, hundreds of simple ladders were made, which could be supplied for a while.

At this time, it was already six watches, and the sky was already bright, but because of the proximity to the sea, the sky was foggy, and it looked like it was going to rain, Bao Xiurang did not dare to slack off, leaving more than 300 soldiers to continue to build the ladder, and the rest of the soldiers carried the ladder and ran towards Fuzhou City.

At the head of Fuzhou City, soldiers were patrolling, Yang Lian replaced the Fuzhou soldiers with Tang soldiers, at this time, he only trusted Tang soldiers and did not dare to hand over such an important place to the Fuzhou army. Bao Xiurang led the soldiers to kill, and the footsteps were intertwined, like thunder, and the ground trembled slightly.

Standing at the head of the city, the line of sight is very wide, someone saw at a glance that a dense group of people in the north rushed over, preliminary estimates, at this time the distance was less than two miles, Tang Bing was briefly surprised, and immediately shouted: "Enemy attack!" ”

The team was receiving the news and sent people to inform the soldiers stationed in Wangshan to support, and at the same time organized the existing soldiers and horses to resist. Without figuring out the identity of this group of soldiers who suddenly appeared, they had to be treated as enemies.

Two fast horses galloped away, one went to Wang Mountain, and the other went to the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion to inform Yang Lian.

The distance of about two miles is very fast, when Bao Xiu let the kill, the Tang soldiers at the head of the city have just been organized, at a glance, the number of Tang soldiers is not much, only more than 100 people, such a number of people have almost no resistance, Bao Xiu let the great joy, immediately waved his hand, and immediately shouted: "Siege!" ”

The soldiers received the order, and the soldiers rushed over in twos and threes, lifted the ladders on the carts, lined up, and prepared to attack Fuzhou City. (To be continued.) )
