Hundreds of guards went to the granary under the leadership of Qianhu Lu Liang, and with an order, they quickly surrounded the entire granary. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The eight-carried sedan chair was just very stable, and the prefect bowed slightly, and walked out of it unhurriedly, looking at the granary surrounded by the guards not far away, with an indifferent expression.

Although Zhang Tanghuai seized the opportunity and occupied the granary to threaten him, he only had more than 30 people under his command, and the guards had 500 people.

Moreover, the granary has no defensive depth, and the only frontal wooden gate and perimeter fence are less than two meters.

There are no defensive firearms such as artillery, and the number of people is pitiful, so how do you think that breaking through here and killing a large number of battalion soldiers is just an order.

Although the best way is to preserve the grain and grass through negotiation, Yan Rongxuan is more inclined to kill Zhang Tanghuai, a group of restless guys.

Because in the eyes of outsiders, if he is a dignified prefect, he can't even deter dozens of battalions, how can he serve the people in the future.

Originally, I was worried that Zhang Tanghuai would bring the fire-selling things, but judging from the pile of grain that was heading here, there seemed to be no sign of ignition.

This further strengthened the prefect's confidence in Yan Rongxuan, who originally killed Zhang Tanghuai, a restless battalion officer.

Another reason is that a few days ago, Kou Shouzhang Xianzhong sent people to negotiate and issued an ultimatum to the prefect Yan Rongxuan to surrender the city.

Yan Rongxuan is a high-ranking official of the fourth grade, responsible for all things in Fengyang, and his high position and authority will naturally not be Zhang Tang Huai's huge deterrence and intimidation of Kaicheng Toucheng.

However, the envoy of the Kou army who sneaked in threw the head of the garrison Zhu Guozheng in front of Yan Rongxuan, and coldly said that if he did not open the city and surrendered, the time when Fengyang was broken would be the day of the slaughter.

He also promised Yan Rongxuan a lot of benefits, and promised that on the day the city was broken, he would kill the officials and gentry, loot and retreat in one day, and never attack the idea of the imperial tomb and some imperial relatives.

Frankly speaking, Yan Rongxuan couldn't believe Zhang Xianzhong, who was born as a bandit, and it was common for the Kou army to massacre the surrendered towns.

But the prefect Yan Rongxuan could only choose to believe in this unreliable promise.

In order to save the imperial mausoleum, the imperial relatives living in Fengyang, and his life.

And the prefect had already planned that when the time came, it would be completely possible to conceal the entry of the Kou army into the city and not report it, but to defend the good news of Fengyang, the central capital, which would be a great achievement at that time.

In fact, Yan Rongxuan also said that this time the Kou army came completely prepared, and the siege equipment was very sufficient, and even brought seven or eight captured artillery.

In Fengyang City, because the garrison Zhu Guozheng died, the battalion soldiers were disheartened for a while, and many officers had begun to contact Zhang Tanghuai and had begun to think about the future.

And the near-avant-garde soldiers in Lu Liang's hands are okay to use them to fish and flesh the people, and let them deal with the wolf-like Kou army, there is no chance of victory at all.

Yan Rongxuan is naturally proficient in the way of being an official, but he knows nothing about military affairs, and in his opinion, with the current strength of Fengyang, he can't stop the besieging Kou army at all.

Therefore, the originally very arrogant prefect Yan Rongxuan, in order to save his life in a desperate situation, persuaded himself in only half an hour, and soon became a loyal dog under Zhang Xianzhong's feet.

In order to ensure that there would be no rebels when Kaesong surrendered, and to sabotage his efforts to keep Fengyang City, the prefect Yan Rongxuan has been active in the entire Fengyang City for several days.

As for those fools who don't know the current affairs and have no political consciousness like Zhang Tanghuai, it's better to kill them as soon as possible.

At this time, the guards surrounded the granary with several times the number of troops, and Zhang Tanghuai wanted to set it on fire immediately, and it was too late to die with the grain and grass.

The prefect standing outside the granary secretly weighed the pros and cons for a long time.

Yan Rongxuan, who suddenly made up his mind, waved his hand and ordered at Qianhu Lu Liang: "Give me to rush into the granary immediately, Zhang Tanghuai and his subordinates will not be left behind, and they will be killed on the spot!" ”

"Yes, sir!" A hint of excitement flashed in Lu Liang's eyes, and he immediately bowed to his head.

Speaking of which, Qianhu Lu Liang had long been a little unaccustomed to Zhang Tanghuai, so with a wave of his hand, he led the guards to slam open the wooden door and quickly rushed towards the granary in the distance.

The strength reached five to one, and although Yan Rongxuan did not know anything about the military, he also knew that he was in control of the victory.

What's more, Zhang Tanghuai actually concentrated all the soldiers who were already small in the grain, and it was even more stupid to plan to defend it.

At that time, as long as there is a fire, these hidden dangers can be easily solved, and no evidence will be left, but many things always backfire.

Soon Qianhu Lu Liang with a complicated expression returned, and behind him was a group of guards who were very embarrassed and only dressed in single clothes.

These guards, who had been imprisoned in the barn and spent several hours with countless rats, were the guards in charge of guarding the granary.

"Lu Qianhu, where is Zhang Tanghuai?!" Because he didn't hear the sound of fighting, the prefect Yan Rongxuan asked with a little displeasure.

Qianhu Lu scolded in his conscience, who am I going to ask if you ask me?

Lu Liang bowed respectfully and clasped his fists and replied: "Lord Prefect, I have already brought people to find all the generals, and there is no trace of Zhang Tanghuai and others," it seems that some want to speak and stop, and some swallow and spit out, "But..."

"Speak up if you have something to say!" Yan Rong urged angrily.

"Back to my lord, the granaries in the palace have been emptied!" Lu Liang didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately told Yan Rongxuan everything he had seen before.

"Emptied, where did you move!"

Yan Rongxuan was suddenly furious, seeing that the victory was in his hands, but he didn't expect Zhang Tanghuai to stick to the granary at all.

The most ridiculous thing is that for so long a day, he didn't even know where Zhang Tanghuai, who had transported the grain, could it be that the other party could fly away.

"Your Excellency, Xia Guan vaguely heard the conversation of those soldiers transporting grain, and it seems that he intends to transport grain to the city!"

A captured guard Baihu stepped forward and cautiously reported.

"What exactly is Zhang Tanghuai going to do?" Yan Rongxuan secretly pondered.

After thinking about it for a long time, when he thought that the grain and grass had been transported to the city, a bold idea suddenly flashed in his heart.

"Not good!" Yan Rongxuan's face turned pale for a while, and according to the idea of transporting grain to the city, Kean had already guessed Zhang Tanghuai's plan.

"Lu Qianhu, take people to the city immediately, you must stop Zhang Tanghuai!"

Although Lu Liang didn't understand what to stop, he immediately received the order and rushed towards the city with three hundred guards, including the rescued soldiers.

When Lu Liang rushed to the city with nearly a thousand guards, he was shocked to find that Zhang Tanghuai and others were wearing civilian clothes and distributing food to the surrounding people.

And the grain and grass that were distributed were brought from the warehouse.

There were a lot of people around, it looked dense, and there were tens of thousands of people, and the guards couldn't squeeze in for a while, but were faintly surrounded by the crowd.

"The officers and soldiers have come to rob us of the food for our lives, and we are fighting to survive!"

Just when Lu Liang didn't know what to do, a very inflammatory slogan suddenly came to mind in the crowd!

The surrounding people were immediately ignited with anger, and nearly a thousand guards surrounded them from all sides.

Although these civilians with low status and on the verge of starvation all year round are very afraid of the officers and soldiers in peacetime, it is better to give up their lives than to starve to death.

And what's worse is that these people must not come with their bare hands, there are kitchen knives, flat poles, rakes, etc., although they seem to be varied, but they are surrounded by tens of thousands of people in the middle, and the guards who have always bullied the weak and feared the hard suddenly felt that their legs were weak, and they had already lost their fighting spirit.

Qianhu Lu Liang knew that he had fallen into a trap, and he drew his blade and planned to lead the troops to rush out, but before he could make any moves, suddenly a steel knife was already on his neck.

Lu Liang, who was full of panic, looked at it, and the person holding the knife in front of him was Zhang Tanghuai, the president of Qian, who had a cold face.

Seeing that Qianhu was captured, the guards who originally planned to resist also lost their fighting spirit.

With the first sound of the blade hitting the ground, the atmosphere of disarming and surrendering quickly spread like a virus, and the guards who had lost their fighting spirit quickly dropped their weapons.

"It's a great honor to be here!"

Han Yu, who was holding the scroll in his hand, walked over from the crowd and looked at Lu Liang with a smile on his face.

"This official is a thousand households, tell you... Yes! ”

With a miserable snort, Lu Liang was hit in the abdomen by a punch, and fell to the ground with a whimper.

"What nonsense!" Zhang Tanghuai snorted indifferently, and soon two battalion soldiers rushed up and tied up Lu Liang.

The guards who surrendered were also imprisoned in the houses on both sides.

The most pitiful thing is that those guards who originally guarded the granary and had just gained freedom became captives in humiliation again.
