Chapter 0528: Coercion and Temptation

That night, Zhang Yue deliberately did not go back to Yuhe County to camp in the county, but lived in the baggage camp outside the west city wall of Youzhou, because a large number of trebuchets were needed to continue to attack the city during the day, and it was very inconvenient for this stupid guy to carry back and forth, so he could only stay on the battlefield, stationed part of the troops to guard, and at the same time laid a large number of secret posts to prevent the earthen platform built during the day from being destroyed by the Liao army out of the city at night. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The camp was four or five miles behind the earthen platform, and Zhang Yue had just slept after dinner, when a soldier came in to report that he had caught two fine works. Zhang Yue knew it in his heart, and ordered him to bring the fine work, and came out to take a look in his outer robe, and saw that it was two bald monks who were tied up by five flowers and almost didn't recognize it, and Yang Xuanli was snickering and untying the two.

"What's going on? See through the red dust? Zhang Yue glared at Yang Xuanli and sat down behind the front of the screen.

"Ahem...... Liao people believe in Buddhism, which is purely helpless! Le Pingyang smiled bitterly and moved his wrist that was tied with soreness, took off the gray cloth monk's robe and tore off a thin piece of silk from the inside, folded it in two and handed it to Zhang Yue's case, and said: "This is the city defense map, including the palace, the official office, the granary, the barracks, and the arsenal, all of which are marked, but please take a closer look." ”

Zhang Yue took it and opened it, glanced at it casually, and threw it aside, not much interest, and raised his head to look at Le Pingyang with a smile, his eyes full of expectation. If you take such a big risk to get out of the city just for this picture, it's not worth it at all, obviously there is more important information, and how they got out of the city, Zhang Yue doesn't know yet.

"There are 35,000 Khitan soldiers in the city, 8,000 Tibetan soldiers, the Han army was placed in the palace guard because it was not trusted, and 7,000 soldiers were controlled by the deputy governor Bian Lingxun. In addition, you need some good hands, a hundred, and it's hard to do more. Le Pingyang got to the point, a hundred soldiers, pretending to be monks, took to the south of the city, and they had to run back and forth at least five times, and it would be difficult to guarantee that nothing would happen.

"Fifty is no problem, how do you bring them into the city?" Zhang Yue wondered.

"My lord, please look at the city defense map!" Yang Xuanli stepped forward, pointed out the map to Zhang Yue to look at it carefully, and explained: "This is Bao'en Temple, there is a secret road in the temple leading to the foot of the outer wall of the city, and the exit is located at the northwest corner of the city wall. ”

Zhang Yue was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately set a strategy with Le Pingyang in accordance with the city defense map, agreed on the date and time to act, sent someone to find Dong Zunyu, and selected 100 elite soldiers from his own soldiers, carrying 100 light soldiers and wooden single crossbows, each equipped with three boxes of arrows, and 600 armor cones, so that Yang Xuanli led the team to follow and sent out of the camp overnight.

In the dark and damp secret passage, the transverse plane is in the shape of a triangular pointed arch, supported and arched by a neat length of stone strips, and is only about five feet high, making the internal space narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. Le Pingyang walked in front, carrying a lantern in his hand, but a hundred soldiers pulled into a long line, and after walking for a while, he saw a bright light sprinkled down the stairs in front, which was to the Buddhist hall in Bao'en Temple.

"Wait a minute, I'll go up first!" Le Pingyang said to Dong Zunzhi behind him, handed him the lantern, and went up the stairs, seeing that the Buddhist hall inside was empty, and there was no one, so he walked to the courtyard to see, there was still no one, and the courtyard door was also closed. Le Pingyang had no choice but to turn back and shout down: "Shi Sanlang, you bring them up, arrange a place to live, and I'll go find the dead monk." ”

Le Pingyang out of the backyard, found a novice on duty at night to lead the way, shouted Zhishan out of the meditation room, explained the situation to him, and arranged for the soldiers to dress up as monks early the next morning, divided into three teams to run twice, all transferred to the south of the city Baozhong Temple, in the evening, Le Pingyang called Dong Zunzhi, Yang Xuanli and other ten people, as the previous time over the high wall of Huayanfang, through the street rushed to the wall of Xuanhemen Palace, let a soldier call Bian Lingxun out.

"Deputy Chief Bian, now that two days have passed, how have you thought about it?" Le Pingyang gets straight to the point.

"Why did you bring so many people here today, follow me into the military office, this is not the place to talk." Bian Lingxun looked left and right, and saw that there were no Khitan patrols coming, so he led Le Pingyang and other ten people to the front of the building, shouted twice in front of the palace gate, and hung a big bamboo basket down with a rope at the head of the wall. Bian Lingxun explained with some embarrassment: "The palace gate is not allowed to be opened at night, and there are other miscellaneous sergeants on duty in the palace, so let's see who goes first?" ”

"I'll go first!" Dong Zunyu looked up at the flickering firelight on the palace wall, with excitement in his eyes. The palace city wall is as high as the outer city wall, but the thickness is almost there, and there are sub-north gates and Xuanhe gates, and the main gate is the Danfeng gate in the south.

Soon, more than ten people were hung up in turn, Bian Lingxun led everyone into a utility room in the city tower, and asked the soldiers to find five or six officers to introduce a few people to each other, and said with some distress: "There are seven thousand soldiers and two armies here, and the other two thousand are also Han troops, but the army has made Sun Zaiying have a sister who is Yelu Chusi's concubine, this person is not very reliable, and he has not dared to discuss with him." ”

"Easy to do! Send someone to bring him in and kill him directly! Le Pingyang said with a stern face, took out a roll of thin silk and threw it to Bian Lingxun, and said, "This is a letter from my lord-in-law, General Bian will take a look at it first!" ”

"Oops...... Zhang Xianggong personally promised a state assassin history, how dare he not know what to do. Bian Lingxun stretched out his hand to take it, his face was full of joy after reading the letter, he thought about it and said: "But this Sun Zaiying will personally report to Yelu Chusi every morning, noon and evening, if we kill him, we can't find a replacement manpower, then it will be a big deal." ”

"Go get him now!" Le Pingyang has a straight face, just a small person, coercion and temptation, there is always a way to make him obey.

Bian Lingxun hesitated to respond, went out and took his own soldiers down the city wall, and waited for a while before he came up with a middle-aged man who was disheveled and sleepy, followed by several personal soldiers, all wearing Liao army soldier armor and wearing a curly-brimmed mink hat with feathers on his head, this image startled Dong Zunzhi, who peeked out in front of the door, and hurriedly turned around and hid behind the door.

Soon, the door was pushed open, and Bian Lingxun led Sun Zaiying in slowly with a smile, and when the last personal soldier followed the door, Dong Zunzhi closed the door with one foot, and pulled out his waist knife with a choking sound and put it on Sun Zaiying's neck.

Choking...... Everyone in the room drew their knives together, and they entered a state of confrontation in an instant, and the four pro-soldiers with mink hats were unknown, but Sun Zaiying found that there were more than a dozen unfamiliar faces in the room, and they were not from his army at all, so he couldn't help but exclaim: "Who are you?" What do you want to do? ”

"Go! Surrender their weapons, this is Sun Zaiying, tie them up and put them down! Le Pingyang commanded, Yang Xuanli took out a string of ropes from his waist and stepped forward, tied Sun Zaiying's feet and hands with Dong Zunzhi, blocked his mouth, lifted it up and pressed it down in front of Le Pingyang's case.

Le Pingyang casually took a stack of briefcase from the table, lifted the teapot and wet it, reached out to pull out the rags on Sun Zaiying's mouth, carefully took off a piece of wet paper and pasted it, and when he saw that it was not solid, he pasted another one, until his mouth and nose were all sealed, and then he slowly took out a waist card of the general of the Zhou army, and swayed it in front of Sun Zaiying's eyes with a lanyard, and saw that his eyes showed a look of shock and fear, and he couldn't help laughing.
