Chapter 823: Stealing into Sicheng Prefecture
If you are facing a fortified city that is firmly defended, how do you take it? This is especially important when the army is crushing the city and it is still difficult to break through the city defenses after several days of hard fighting. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
When Yang Zhen first heard about the battle in Guilin, he thought that he might be able to sneak into the city at night with his skills far beyond ordinary people. Then, just like those White Lotus Sect thieves wanted to do it in Guilin City before, but they couldn't do it, they completely disrupted the entire Sicheng Prefecture.
But this plan changed just as he was about to leave, because a man appeared in front of him, Takekura. His physique is indeed far beyond ordinary people, only a few days of work, that day because of the serious injury suffered by fighting with Xu Chongshan for his life, he has almost healed, and hurriedly came to Yang Zhen to serve.
When he learned that Yang Zhen wanted to go to Sicheng Prefecture to help the official army break the city, and learned from Yang Zhen that Nazhou City was now resisted by Cen Yunmo's army, he immediately volunteered to follow him, and said: "My lord doesn't know, Cen Shaoxun of Sicheng Prefecture has a lot of friendship with my Zhu family, and Cen Yunhan and I have been playmates since childhood. ”
"But the injuries on your body are not healed, and you are not good at climbing walls and cornices, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient for me to bring you." Yang Zhen didn't hide it, so he told his strategy.
"My lord, in fact, you don't need to be so adventurous to enter this Sicheng Prefecture, I know a secret passage that can be penetrated into the city." Zhukong Yan said busily.
This made Yang Zhen a little surprised: "Is this true? If there is a secret way, it will not be difficult to break through this city. But would the defenders of the city not know about its existence? "Indeed, if anyone knows what secret passage can communicate between the inside and outside of the city, they will inevitably cut off the road as soon as possible to prevent the official army from stealing into the city.
Zhukong Yan said: "Few people should know about that secret passage, and it is very narrow, only allowing one person to pass through." In addition, because it is only a drainage channel, it is impossible for too many people to enter the city from there, otherwise it is likely to alarm the people in the city, so if the adults and I enter the city, it is okay, but I am afraid that it will not be possible if there are too many. ”
"Oh?" After thinking about it for a while, Yang Zhen adopted the other party's suggestion and changed his original strategy, which led him to Sicheng Prefecture with other Jinyiwei's brothers.
And after pointing out to Xiao Duo that he was sure to sneak into the city, Xiao Duo agreed to his strategy.
So the next day, the official army continued to storm the city to attract the attention of the defenders in the city, and Yang Zhen, Zhukong Mountain, and Cai Yingyang went around to the northwest corner of the city after dusk under the leadership of Zhukong Mountain.
"This is it." Zhukong Yan jumped down first, and looked in with some nostalgia, although it was dark inside, and he couldn't see anything, but in his heart, he felt the scene nearly twenty years ago-
"Kong Yan, we will be brothers in the future, as long as you are in danger, no matter where I am, I will rush to save you as soon as possible!"
"Me too! But...... If our cottage is attacked and you grow up and bring soldiers and horses to save it, it is nothing, but if your Sicheng Prefecture is besieged by someone, how can I save you? "The little Takekuyan also had a heart and raised such a very realistic question.
"I have a way to ......" Saying that, Cen Yunhan took Zhukongyan's hand and quickly ran to the northwest corner of Sicheng Prefecture at that time, pointing to a ditch channel: "There is a culvert there that leads to the outside of the city, and few people know about it, and my father and I know it." If something happens to us, you can sneak in from here and save us......"
The two of the young men made an agreement on this, although time passed, and the two had their own encounters, but the words of the day, Zhukong Yan has always remembered them. It's a pity that the sudden assassination of the Cen family's father and son made Zhukong Yan have no time to react, but now, this has actually become a good way for Yang Zhen and them to enter the city.
After a slight hesitation and a sigh, Zhukong Yan took the lead in bending down into the ditch. Subsequently, Yang Zhen and Cai Yingyang also followed, dripping knee-high sewage, enduring the disgusting stench, and constantly groping forward slowly.
Because it was getting late at this time, the city was quiet, and the three of them did not know where they were overhead, whether anyone was passing by, so they kept as quiet as possible along the way, that is, the pace of the march was also gentle, so as not to alarm anyone.
Just walked for about a while, and the footsteps of Zhukong Rock at the front stopped, and then the whole person looked forward, looking out very alertly, obviously they had reached the end of the canal, that is, to the northwest corner of Sicheng Prefecture.
Thinking that the army had spent so much time, attacked by all means, and sacrificed thousands of lives to fail to enter the city, while the three of them had stolen into the city so safely, Yang Zhen couldn't help but sigh in his heart. However, he also knew very well that entering the city was just the beginning of the implementation of the plan, and there were still too many things to do for himself.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a small sound in front of him, but it was Zhukong Yan who pushed out the bamboo cover that was blocking the exit after he was sure that there was no one around, which was used to block some large garbage.
The three of them then came out softly, out of the stinking culvert, making their breathing and their spirits lifted.
Because of the continuous pressure of the official army to attack the city for several days, Sicheng Prefecture seems to be very nervous, and a curfew is implemented at night, so it is naturally impossible for anyone to appear in the northwest corner of the city at this moment, and even the soldiers and horses patrolling the city will deliberately run here, after all, they don't know that there is a secret passage here for people to enter.
"Second brother, what are we going to do next? Do you go to the granary and set it on fire, or do you go and slaughter Na Cen Yunmo and the generals under him? Cai Yingyang was a little eager to try. This is what Yang Zhen had repeatedly ordered everyone to pay attention to when Guilin was besieged before, and after that, there was indeed a matter of the White Lotus Sect wanting to set fire to the granary, Cai Yingyang naturally left a deep memory of this, and now he is learning and selling.
Yang Zhen glanced at this impulsive guy angrily: "Do you know where their granary is?" Where do those important generals live? ”
"This ...... I really don't know. Cai Yingyang touched the back of his head with some surprise, and smiled: "But second brother, you must be able to think of an idea to find them." ”
"You, you're really going to eat me." Smiled helplessly, Yang Zhen looked at the two of them solemnly: "Originally, I did have such a plan. For example, no matter who is the main person in the city, these important buildings and characters have a law of placement, as long as I look for them with my heart, it should be easy to find them. Now, though, I've changed my mind a bit. ”
"What do you mean?" Zhukong Yan was slightly stunned, as if he had thought of something, so he asked tentatively.
Yang Zhen looked at him and said, "On the way here, you said that Cen Shaoxun and Cen Yunhan, father and son, are the same as you, and they are more inclined to follow the will of the imperial court. But these two people were assassinated at the same time, and then Cen Yunmo, who was now determined to fight the court to the end, presided over the overall situation, and raised the anti-flag at the first time, don't you think there is anything wrong with this? ”
"Naturally, there is a big problem." Zhu Kongyan immediately said: "As long as you are a clear-eyed person in this matter, you will know that it was Cen Yunmo's hands and feet, and the reason why he was able to do it must be with the help of other people's strength, such as the White Lotus Sect!" At the mention of the White Lotus Sect, his tone was full of resentment, even if he had killed the biggest enemy, but he Cen Jiazhai had dozens of lives, and the tragic death of his brother could not be counted like this.
"I also think so, in order to seize power, Cen Yunmo cooperated with the people of the White Lotus Sect, and then killed his father and brother to seize the position of Tusi. Later, for the sake of his own power, he simply went to the dark and completely raised the anti-flag, resulting in the current situation. ”
After a pause, he added, "Since outsiders like you and me can see the strangeness of this, won't the other people in the city see it?" Now this Sicheng Prefecture is in danger, although the official army will not be able to break the city for a while, but it is still only a matter of time before it is breached, do you think those people in the city will be so loyal to obey the orders of Cen Yunmo, a Tusi who came from the wrong way, and will accompany him in death? ”
"What do you mean ......" Zhukong Yan quickly understood the meaning of Yang Zhen's words, and his eyes lit up: "Let's think of plotting against some people in the city and using their strength to deal with Cen Yunmo?" ”
"Exactly. But this is something that needs your guidance and help. Over the years, the relationship between you and Cen Yunhan is still close, and you must know quite a bit about the situation in this city. You must know which people we can fight for, and we will go find him now. Yang Zhen didn't tell his true intentions until this time. If you want to cause chaos in Sicheng Prefecture, burning grain and grass or something is just a strategy, and letting them have internal disputes is the most clever means.
Zhukong Yan glanced at Yang Zhen in some surprise, full of awe, he didn't expect Yang Zhen to be able to analyze so many things from some of his own words, and quickly revised the entire plan, he really had outstanding ability, no wonder he dared to enter the city alone.
But then, he restrained his mind again, and after a little thought, he said: "If you really want to talk about it, I really know that there is such a person, but I don't know if he has been harmed by Cen Yunmo now......
