In the afternoon, in the city of Guangzhou

Two people dressed as merchants came out of a tea shed in the east of the city to pay the bill, and picked up the courage that was already empty and went in the direction of the east gate, talking and laughing as they walked, it seemed that today's business was quite good. The two walked through the bustling streets, and no one looked at them more than any one of the people on the road. After all, commerce is thriving in the city of Guangzhou, and there are many merchants like this who carry goods into the city every day to sell.

When there were still two streets away from the east gate, the two merchants seemed to have eaten the wrong thing before, and suddenly became a little anxious, and after asking the other colleagues who were resting on the side of the road where the thatched toilet was, they temporarily handed over the burden to them to take care of, and they ran to the destination with their stomachs in their hands. Seeing the two of them leave in embarrassment, the rest of the merchants couldn't help laughing.

The two merchants quickly ran into a winding alley, and seeing that there was no one around, the reaction of the two "internal urgency" suddenly disappeared, and their expressions returned to normal. After another wary look at both ends of the alley, one of them quickly pulled out a proclamation full of words from his bosom. At the same time, another person opened a bamboo tube hanging from his waist, and quickly picked out a ball of glutinous rice milk with a wooden spoon and smeared it on the north side of the proclamation. The two work together quite well, and it seems that this kind of thing has been done many times.

"Smack!" The merchant who took out the proclamation first posted it on a wall in the alley, and did not stop for a moment. He and his companions quickly departed. The two of them ran some distance and turned into another nearby alley, repeating what they had just done. As a result, there was an extra proclamation on the wall in this alley.

But just then, the unexpected happened. Just as the two merchants were about to leave, there was a sudden noise of footsteps at one end of the alley.

"Let's go!" The face of the merchant who posted the notice changed, and he called his companions and ran towards the other end of the alley.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" With two shrill whistles, the two merchants fell to the ground with a scream before they could run a few steps, each with a short arrow stuck in their calves. Followed by. A group of soldiers flashed out from the corner of the alley and pounced on them to subdue them.

"Take it away!" The leader of a Qing officer with a helmet and armor looked at the two people who were tied up, and said coldly.

……

An hour and a half later. The study of the Governor's Mansion of Liangguang

Tong Yangjia looked at the two confessions in front of him, and layers of fine sweat oozed from his forehead. His standard battalion general reported on the side: "As soon as the last general is tortured, the two will confess." The thief leader Chen Zizhuang will really attack on the third watch tonight, and his inner members in the city, such as Yang Keguan, Yang Jingye and Yu Jinhu, will also follow. Open the east gate and let the thieves enter the city. ”

Tong Yangjia at this time. It is both a fear and a blessing. What I am afraid of is that Chen Zizhuang will actually come up with this method to seize Guangzhou, and even sacrifice his henchmen around him in order to insert Neiying into the city. If he really succeeds, the consequences will be unimaginable. Fortunately, he finally cracked Chen Zizhuang's conspiracy in advance.

Tong Yangjia froze, looked at a fat-headed and big-eared monk standing at the bottom, and said, "Thank you master for telling me in time!" ”

"Amitabha!" The monk clasped his hands together, pronounced the Buddha's name, and then said with a sneer. "It's just a trivial matter, adults don't have to be so polite! Although the poor monk is in an empty door. But he didn't want to sit back and watch some thieves arbitrarily rebel and offend the laws of the court. Therefore, when the poor monk saw that the men were suspicious, and had heard what they were secretly talking about, he immediately came to inform them. ”

"The righteous deeds of the master, this governor will definitely remember in his heart!" Tong Yangjia nodded, and instructed the Biaoying general beside him, "You take this master to the account room to receive three hundred taels of silver, which shows the governor's intentions!" ”

"Amitabha! The benevolence of adults, the Buddha will also see it in his eyes! The monk's waist was bent lower, and his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile.

After the monk left, Tong Yangjia took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said to Li Chengdong, who was sitting opposite him, with palpitations: "This matter is still negligent on the part of the governor, and I am really ashamed that I failed to adopt Li Junmen's advice in time!" ”

Tong Yangjia rarely said soft words, and Li Chengdong's attitude naturally improved: "Lord Duxian doesn't have to blame himself, a wise man will eventually make a mistake, which is inevitable." The most important thing now is to eliminate the thieves in the city as soon as possible, so as not to succeed in their schemes. If possible, our army will make plans and annihilate the invading thieves in order to boost the morale of all the soldiers. ”

"Good! The matter of purging the thieves was handed over to Li Junmen. Without further ado, it's only a little more than an hour before it gets dark, so I'll ask Li Junmen to do it quickly! After Tong Yangjia said this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't let go of any of those fanatics who are fornicating with thieves!" Among them, the first evil, such as Yang Kezu, Yang Jingye, Yu Jinhu, etc., were all in the city after being caught, in order to set an example! ”

"Your Excellency, rest assured, I will arrange this in the end. In addition, in order to ensure that things go smoothly, the last general hopes to borrow the standard camp armor of the adults to use it. ”

"This is no problem, the governor will explain it!"

……

Half an hour later, more than 10 officers from the Tongyang Jiabiao battalion led a group of people to transport a cart of wine and meat and several large boxes of silver to the camp in the east of the city, where more than 3,000 Huashan thieves who had just surrendered yesterday were being arranged.

After entering the camp, Tong Yangjia's standard camp relatives will ask Yu Jinhu, the leader of the Huashan bandits, to gather more than 3,000 troops in the name of reward. Seeing that there were not many Qing troops and did not carry weapons, Yu Jinhu did not doubt that he had it, and immediately agreed. After the Huashan bandits were assembled, the general of the standard camp announced Tong Yangjia's reward for their subordination, and all those who came to surrender, regardless of their rank, could be rewarded with wine and meat and a certain amount of silver. Hearing this news, the Huashan bandits all cheered.

Subsequently, Tong Yangjia's standard battalion generals and the rest of the standard battalion officers also sat down to drink wine with Yu Jinhu and others. This made Yu Jinhu even more relieved. Just because of the consideration of the events of the night, Yu Jinhu asked his subordinates not to drink too much. He explained to the general that the current situation could change at any time, and the brothers should not get drunk, lest they miss the Governor's important affairs. Fortunately, the standard camp generals are not reluctant. Let Yu Jinhu and the others feel free.

Although they can't drink more, there is no restriction on eating meat, so the bandits in Huashan still eat with their mouths full of oil and are happy.

Nearly half an hour passed before I knew it. At this moment, an unexpected situation happened, most of the Huashan thieves, including Yu Jinhu himself, fell to the ground one by one and lost consciousness. Although a few people who had not been drunk were still sober and tried to resist with their weapons. However, the Tong Yangjia Battalion and Li Chengdong's descendants, who were ambushed around the camp, quickly rushed in and killed the rebels one by one on the spot.

Of course, the standard camp pro-general who secretly took the antidote at the banquet would not be burdened by the chronic sweat medicine in the wine, and saw that all the bandits had been numb. He ordered the leaders such as Jin Hu and the guards around them to be tied up and escorted away, and the rest of the minions and small leaders were all eliminated on the spot.

While the Huashan bandits in the camp in the east of the city were conspired by the Qing army, the rest of the Qing troops were also seizing the time to act. Yang Keconsiderable and Yang Jingye were arrested at home. All members of the family were killed. No one escaped. Subsequently, all of their old subordinates in the army were deceived into being killed in secluded places.

In addition, according to the confessions of the two Chen Zizhuang servants who were previously arrested and disguised as merchants, Tong Yangjia dispatched a large number of capable men to change into civilian clothes, silently destroyed all the contact points set up by Chen Zizhuang in the city, and arrested the hidden spies one by one.

After Li Chengdong commanded all the people to complete all this, it was time to close the city gate at ordinary times. Tong Yangjia lost no time in ordering the major city gates to be closed to prevent news leakage. Due to the swift and direct actions of the Qing army. Most of the people in the city did not feel any strange. Although a very small number of Chen Zizhuang's spies who escaped learned the true situation, they were still being chased and killed by the Qing army in civilian clothes. In addition, the gates of the city were closed, and it was impossible to send news out of the city.

……

At night, Chen Zizhuang led 20,000 righteous teachers into several batches and quietly lurked outside Guangzhou.

After arriving, Chen Zizhuang quickly waited for a close guard from Yu Jinhu's side to come. After the agreed joint token, the guard told Chen Zizhuang that the agreed time had not changed, and Yu Jinhu had made all preparations, just waiting for the righteous division outside the city to launch an attack and attract the attention of the Qing army, and then responded in the city and opened the east gate to welcome the righteous master into the city.

Subsequently, an old department of Yang Keguan, who was stationed at the Taiping Gate in the south of the city, also came to the outside of the city with a token and told Chen Zizhuang similar news.

Sending off the two messengers, Chen Zizhuang looked at the outline of Guangzhou City in the dark night, and his heart surged, if there were no accidents in the future, it was estimated that by dawn, Guangzhou City would be restored. He had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

"Brother, something doesn't seem right." At this moment, Chen Zisheng, who came with Chen Zizhuang, raised his doubts.

"What's wrong?"

"The servant who my brother sent into the city this afternoon to post the post has not returned, and the eyeliner that was originally planted in the city has not been reported to be safe and sound before the city gate is closed, as agreed. In addition, Yu had been in contact with his brother before the leader, but the person who sent him to contact him was the same person, not the person he had just been. The envoy commanded by Yang was not the same as before. Why did they suddenly think of changing people at this critical juncture?

Chen Zizhuang is not a conceited person, and when he heard Chen Zisheng say this, he was also a little vigilant in his heart. But even if things do change, so what? Is it just for the sake of the possible change that the whole plan to take the city will be abandoned? Although Chen Zizhuang also felt a little wrong in his heart, if he really wanted to turn around and return, he would be extremely unwilling.

After being silent for a long time, Chen Zizhuang finally made up his mind: "No matter whether there is change in the city, we cannot return empty-handed, otherwise it will seriously hit the morale of the whole army." Even if the Qing captives were really prepared, they would only have thousands of tired soldiers after all. But my righteous teacher has 20,000 people, and they have the same hatred of the enemy, what is there to fear? However, Li Lu and Tong Lu have always been scheming, and they must not be guarded against. In this way, when it comes to the agreed third watch, we will wave our army to launch a feint in Guangzhou, and we will not rush into the city to see the reaction of the Qing captives in the city.
