On September 18, this day was destined to be an eventful day, and in the evening of the same day, far away in Banqiao Town, at the junction of Zhongmu and Kaifeng Mansion in Zhengzhou, more than 100 forbidden army Xuanjiao boats were loaded with heavily armed Heyang Town troops along the river, and at this time the forbidden army sailors had been under martial law for 30 miles around, and the commander of the army, Song Yanwu, the commander of the army, and Wang Huan, the general of the right Xiaowei, led the troops to meet them at the riverbank wharf. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang Tingzhang, the marshal of Heyang, is forty-eight years old, his cousin is Wen Yu, and his sister is Taizu Guo Weishufei, who is considered a former uncle. Since the death of the first emperor, he moved from Jinzhou to Heyang, which Wang Pu insisted on, and Zhang Yue also acquiesced. In the afternoon of the day before, he received an urgent order from the Privy Council of King Pu in Tokyo, so he came with his troops.

"I originally thought that I wouldn't be able to arrive until the evening, but Yang Yuanjun came quickly!" Song Yanwu smiled and arched his hand, while Wang Huan had a blank face and looked worried.

Yang Tingzhang's face was grim, and he sighed lightly: "Has the matter really come to this point?" ”

"Please wait with me to enter the account and narrate!" Song Yanwu's face changed, and he turned sideways. Song Yanwu's identity is also quite complicated, his father Song Tinghao is the son-in-law of Li Cunxuan of Zhuangzong of the Later Tang Dynasty, and he himself married Princess Yongning, the daughter of Liu Zhiyuan of the Later Han Dynasty.

The three of them walked all the way into the camp on the north bank of the Bianhe River on the outskirts of Banqiao Town, entered the big tent of the Chinese army, and sat down, and the tooth soldiers came in to serve tea and retreated. Song Yanwu took out a scroll of the Tokyo City Defense Map and spread it on the case, his fingers slowly moved from the Bianhe waterway to the northwest corner of Tokyo City, and slowly looked at the two people opposite.

"Xianggong Wenbo has already arranged the defense of the inner and outer cities, and I will wait for the fleet to set sail again at midnight, and then go to Yuetai Town to take the Jinshui River, and go straight to the Longchi in the imperial city to abandon the ship and land on the shore, and then it will be commanded by Wang Xianggong, do you have any opinions?"

Yang Tingzhang frowned and said: "There is no problem with the route and strategy of the march, but the discipline of my 10,000-town army is not very good, and it may not be able to cooperate with the inner hall of the forbidden army, so it can only be stationed in the palace, and if it is transferred to fight, the terrain and road conditions are not familiar." ”

"Don't worry! The main thing is defense, combat encirclement and other armies! Song Yanwu said with a smile.

Yang Tingzhang shook his head and said, "Guards? If they are transferred into the imperial city, won't they give up the center to Zhang Yuanzhen? ”

"It seems that Wen Yu doesn't have a good impression of Zhang Yuanzhen! In fact, at present, the Guards Division can still be called, and there is a consultation between Captain Han and Li Chuyun in this regard, otherwise...... He Zhang Yuanzhen went to Kansai on the festival, how could several ministers let him go? I'm afraid that the generals of the forbidden army will also be half-hearted, and it is impossible for us to sit here and discuss major matters calmly, right? Song Yanwu said.

Yang Tingzhang was stunned and couldn't help asking: "Yang must know, what agreement has been reached between the ministers of Zhongshu and Zhang Yuanzhen?" ”

"I don't know about this, I only heard that Zhang Yuanzhen's edict to leave Beijing was drafted by Li Xianggong, the former third secretary...... It's a very simple thing, it was originally Zhang Yuanzhen and Zhao Yuanlang to check and balance each other, and the center was only in charge of thirty or forty thousand sailors such as me, and they were all scared! But if Zhang Yuanzhen is allowed to interfere in the front division of the palace, then the entire forbidden army will have to change masters, how can several ministers watch the power fall. "Song Yanwu has been in Beijing all the time, and he is relatively clear about these things.

Yang Tingzhang sighed: "It may not be a good thing to adjust us to wait for the town army to enter Beijing, even if the center solves the front division of the palace, but what about the guard division?" He, Zhang Yuanzhen, has already gone to Kansai to sit down! ”

"Aren't there still a few ministers, and the two lieutenants Yuan and Han are also ministers of Tuogu, they will always find a way, we just follow orders, why think too much." Song Yanwu looked like he had nothing to do with himself.

As an important minister of the court and a marshal in the suburbs of the capital, he is so visionary. As soon as Zhang Yuanzhen left Beijing, he actually caused a contradiction, which Yang Tingzhang only recently figured out, and suddenly showed displeasure on his face, secretly guessing that Han Tong and Yuan Yan should have another backhand.

Things were as Yang Tingzhang expected, at this time, far away in the northeast of Kaifeng Prefecture, a long fleet full of soldiers of the town army, driving on the Wuzhang River under the cover of twilight, until the south of Dongming County, a hundred miles near the suburbs of Tokyo, a middle-aged general led his troops to meet at the dock, this person turned out to be Liu Congxue, the commander of the left wing of the former Longjie who had been idle at home for a long time, and the other person was Li Cao, the general of the right Yulin who had already been at home.

Because the forbidden army has become a sieve, and the privy envoy Wang Pu is an old minister of the first emperor's palace, of course, he is not worried about the generals of the forbidden army, but there are no generals at hand, Liu Congzhi and Li Cao then entered his sight, recommended to Fan Qian, and temporarily awarded the general Zuo Shenwu and the remote leader Kuang Guo Jiedu envoy.

Kuang Guojie Town is far away in Guanxi, with jurisdiction over Tong, Hua Erzhou, and Tongguan is located in Huazhou, it is precisely because I heard that Zhang Yue sent troops to garrison Tongguan, Wang Pu is not at ease, because Kuang Guojie Town was originally abolished in the fourth year of Xiande, and the two states of Tong and Hua were merged into Hezhong Prefecture to protect the country, Wang Pu was intended to restore, so he let Liu Congzhi Yao lead. And Li Cao is fifty-seven years old and a veteran.

"The last general, the assassin of Lanzhou, and Zheng Debin, the regimental training envoy, have seen General Liu!" When the big boat slowly landed on the shore, several leading generals went up to the trestle from the seesaw, boarded the embankment and bowed their hands, and the general surnamed Zheng turned around and pointed to the young general in his twenties and thirties: "This is Yuan Fang, the second son of Yuan Taiwei, and the one behind is his eldest grandson Yuan Zhaoqing." ”

Liu Congzhi only slightly gestured to return the salute, and said: "Back then, Zheng Han Gong worshiped the privy envoy and the school official department, and he was taken care of a lot. ”

Liu Congzhi said that Zheng Han Gong is the late Guangshun privy envoy Zheng Renzhi, this person is the father of Zheng Debin, Zheng Renzhi Xiande died of illness in the second year, and his son Zheng Debin did not inherit the title of his father Han Duke, and has been a local official.

This time, he received the secret order of Wang Pu's Privy Council to transfer troops, led 5,000 Zhenning troops south to Caozhou, and came by fleet with 10,000 Caozhou Zhangxin Army and 10,000 Tianping Army led by Yuan Fang, Yuan Yan's son, and it was only more than half a day to take the Wuzhang River waterway.

Yuan Fang was about thirty years old, and he was relatively stable, so he turned his head to look around a few times, and saw that there were all sergeants on the left, so he asked in a low voice: "General Liu, are we going to be stationed in Tokyo City, or are we going to be stationed on the outskirts of the city?" ”

"Who is the general of the Tianping Army?" Liu Congzhi asked.

"At the beginning of the year, Xu Xiong went to Yunzhou to lead the state to assassinate the history, and this time he led the Yunzhou soldiers." Yuan Fang replied.

At this time, Li Cao said on the side: "This Xu Xiong is a civilian official, but I am afraid that he will not be able to command the army, if General Liu wants to lead the troops into the city, it is better to get on the boat first to meet the general of the Yunzhou Tianping Army." At an advanced age, he can lead the Zhangxin army to the outskirts of the city. ”
