Chapter 0116: Nine Gates

Lu Fei said while rowing: "There are nine gates in Bianliang City, and the maximum number of troops we can mobilize is only 20,000, but there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses outside the city, and we are not able to defend this outer city, I mean, give up the outer city and concentrate all the troops in the imperial city, what do you think?" ”

Among the four brothers, only Cao Keming had the experience of commanding thousands of people in actual combat, and he said worriedly: "Big brother, once the outer city gives up, once the soldiers and horses outside the city know that there is a change in the palace, they can be killed in an hour, if we fail to break through the imperial city at this time, then we will suffer from the enemy."

The joy on the faces of the brothers immediately faded when they heard this, and giving up the outer city means that if they can't break through the imperial city, then there is no way to withdraw from Bianliang.

Lu Fei pointed to the map again and said: "If you do this kind of thing, you are destined to have no way out, you think about it, if you want to do it, you will listen to me, if it doesn't work out, one of us will be executed, including our family members." ”

Tie Hammer said: "Big brother, you say, what do you say I do, death is not death." ”

Everyone glanced at each other, and nodded affirmatively at Lu Fei, death is not any pressure on the veterans who have been in battle for a long time, they just want to see a glimmer of hope for success, although they don't know much about large corps combat, but everyone understands that giving up the outer city is equivalent to throwing the entire rear to the enemy, so there are only two results, either succeed or be killed.

Lu Fei smiled and continued: "Well, you don't have to worry too much, as Cao Keming said, the guards of the imperial city have no defense, as long as we act quickly, we can't hold out for an hour, the imperial city also has nine palace gates, we don't expect the Vermilion Bird Gate, the guards are too strict, the only feasible ones are Donghua Gate and Xihua Gate, the general of the guards on duty in the palace today is Shi Baoji, this person has no talent, and he has only been in office for two months, I estimate that he has not even figured out how many troops there are in each gate." ”

Lu Fei then sketched the map of the imperial city, and said while drawing: "Our current location is only a few blocks away from Xihua Gate, where if nothing else, there are only 300 people stationed in the Imperial Dragon Bow and Arrow, and Donghua Gate is similar. ”

The imperial city is a rectangle in the north-south direction, in the shape of a 'Lu', the south is the station of the palace city guard, the north is the major halls and the inner garden of the palace, the middle is separated by a wall, the north and south are connected by a Xuanyou gate, and the Xuanyou gate can be directly rushed to the major palaces.

Cao Keming said: "But how do we approach the palace gate, once the people inside are alert, they will immediately close the palace gate, and the wolf smoke will warn and summon the divine guards outside the city and the second army of the dragon army to enter the city Qin Wang." ”

The guards of the palace gate are the strictest, if you want to control the imperial city before the Qin Wang army knows, the time is only one hour, how to enter the palace city is the key, it is definitely impossible to attack hard, even if there are not many guards at the east and west gates, but all kinds of defensive ordnance are the most sophisticated in the forbidden army, and the palace wall of the imperial city is high.

Lu Fei said: "I'll figure out a way to do this, the most important thing is to seize the armory first, as long as we occupy it first, the 50,000 Tianwu troops in the city will not have the ability to parry, either join or be killed, and the troops who can fight with us in the city are also left behind by the various armies of the palace front division, the number is not much, the total is less than 5,000 people, these people are well-equipped and well-trained, but don't worry, without the order of the Privy Council and the palace front division, they can't move." ”

When the brothers heard this, they couldn't wait to act immediately, and everyone could hear Lu Fei's analysis that the boss had been planning all this in secret for a long time.

Cao Keming said: "Big brother is thoughtful, it just so happens that today is the day of our training for the Japanese army, all the armies are gathered together, although the Tianwu Army is also in the city, but most of their soldiers are at home, and there are no weapons, not enough to fear, the eldest brother has expected everything, but there is one thing, how can we rush to the armory unknowingly, the armory is close to the south city wall, and there are more than 200 guards there, if the fight starts, it will definitely cause the imperial city to guard in advance." ”

The excitement and passion gradually faded, but what remained in Lu Fei's heart became more and more calm, it was better to choose a day than to hit the day, he didn't think about choosing to do it today, and it was even more impossible for others to think about it, and no one would believe that a small commander would dare to rebel, in other words, it was just a commander under the jurisdiction of a large military region, not even a commander.

Lu Fei smiled and said: "Success is in the sky, planning is in people, no matter how we plan, it is impossible to be perfect, I can only move you, there are 1,000 people under each of you, the iron hammer is just a personal soldier, plus my left wing is directly under 10,000 horses, I can really move only more than 13,000 people, and whether the seven armies under my command will definitely act with me, I dare not guarantee, I plan not to tell them, but I must not return and coerce him in." ”

Tie Hammer was a little too excited, and said directly: "Hey big brother, don't talk to us about this, just say what to do, take down the imperial city, our brother will put the dragon robe on you, and everything will be fine." ”

Lu Fei hurriedly said: "No, even if I can defeat it, I can't be called the emperor, the time has not yet come." ”

Everyone was stunned and said in unison: "Why? Shall we make wedding dresses for others? ”

Lu Fei said: "No, I am a little person who is not in the stream and suddenly called the emperor, which one of the key generals here is convinced, plus which of the 100,000 soldiers and horses outside the city can accommodate me, what we have to do is just to bring down the Zhao family, whoever wants to be the emperor should be the emperor, let's make a big move, as long as we firmly grasp the real power, and then go step by step in the future, the false name of the emperor is useless to me." ”

Cao Keming nodded thoughtfully: "The eldest brother is reasonable, help a puppet to go up, which one is not convinced, find the new emperor to settle accounts, who is the eldest brother going to set up, the Zhao family is impossible, after the move, the Zhao family will be all wiped out, if one escapes, all the outside of the city will be the Song army." ”

Whoever the prince fled in the mutiny meant what would happen, didn't the nine princes of the Northern Song Dynasty who fled from the Jingkang Mutiny flee to Jiangnan and founded the Southern Song Dynasty.

Lu Fei nodded and said: "This is natural, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Chu, is in charge of Kaifeng Mansion, and he is in the palace at the moment, Zhao Yuanyou, the king of Chen, is the envoy of Jiangnan (equivalent to the governor of the provinces in Jiangnan), far away in Jinling, the king of Chu is not a big threat, the important thing is King Chen, he has the soldiers and horses of the entire Jiangnan in his hands." ”

Although King Chen is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, he is the person who poses the greatest threat to Lu Fei, as soon as the news of the change of dynasty in Bianliang reaches there, he will immediately raise the banner and call on people from all walks of life to kill King Qin of Bianliang, the throne of Bai Pickup, how many can come, Lu Fei has no bottom in his heart, and it is conservatively estimated that it will be 500,000 people, even if Lu Fei has Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun's possession, I am afraid that he will not be able to stop it, even if he can block it, then the Central Plains will be a blank land again, if the Khitans take the opportunity to go south, the 'Jingkang Change' may be advanced.
