Chapter 348: The Battle of Shu (4)
The Weizhou army, which was advancing rapidly, was like a whirlwind, and the small cities of Jiange, Wulian, Zitong, Shiniu, and Weicheng all fell when they heard the wind. It was not until Mianyang that the Weizhou Army stopped its momentum of advance.
However, the defenders of Mianyang only held out for more than a day under the threat of the fierce artillery of the Weizhou army. Mianyang is about to fall, and Chengdu, the capital of Xichuan, is basically unobstructed in front of it.
Zhang Qingping did not stop, they continued to set off on Li Bao's order, and marched towards the city of Chengdu.
At this time, the house of Chen Jinghuo, the ambassador of Xichuan Festival, was feasting.
The officials of the Xichuan Festival were all feasting and drinking, all of them were full of wine, and many of them were wide-eyed when they looked at the lightly dressed dancing girls.
The servant who reported the news sent a whirlwind when he came straight forward, and he shouted, "It's not good, it's not good."
Chen Jinghuo, who was drunk, pointed at the panicked servant and said angrily: "Bastard, what does it look like to be flustered?" Well, talk well! ”
The servant immediately knelt on the ground and stammered, "Ah Lang no, something is wrong." Jianmen Pass was lost, and Niu Miao guarded and captured the envoy to join the Weizhou army. The Weizhou army rushed forward at Jianmen Pass, and now it has broken through Mianyang, and it will not be long before it reaches Chengdu Mansion. ”
The words of the servants of the Chen Mansion were like a thunderbolt, and the sound of the Chen Mansion lobby was silenced, and the officials and Wule were so frightened that they didn't know what to do. But after being stunned for a moment, they immediately began to whisper, this Weizhou army is coming so fast. If King Ji comes, will it be okay for us to surrender the city, right?
Knowing that Niu Miao defected to the enemy and then caused the Jianmen Pass to be lost, and then the Jianmen Pass until Mianyang was under the impact of the Weizhou army, and when he did not hold on, Chen Jinghuo was so frightened that the wine cup in his hand fell to the ground, and for a while he had no master, "How can this be?" Niu Qi him, he actually treated a certain person like this! ”
All of a sudden, all kinds of voices burst out in Chen Jinghuo's head, and he really didn't know what to do. However, after the initial panic, he finally remembered Luo Yuangao, who was loyal to him with Niu Miao.
Once the seeds of doubt germinated, Chen Jinghuo could no longer sit still, so he rebuked the dancers in the lobby. Then, ignoring the shouts of the officials, he called the head of the guards loudly. "Chen Xilin, you quickly lead people to arrest Luo Yuangao, and then send troops to surround Luo Yuangao's mansion, show me all the family members and servants in his mansion, and don't allow anyone to enter or leave. and killed all the family members of Niu Miao's bastard, and killed them all! ”
Chen Jing's annoyed and angry howl resounded almost throughout the Jiedu Embassy, but the guards quickly came back to report that Niu Qiao's family had already secretly escaped. And Luo Yuangao has been arrested and imprisoned, and his mansion has been surrounded.
Chen Jinghuo, who woke up from drinking, listened to the reply of the head of the guard, and his heart was full of bitterness, this Niu Miao had already had the intention of surrendering to Weizhou, and his family secretly escaped early in the morning as evidence.
It's just that this Luo Yuangao is not involved? If he was involved, why didn't his family plan to escape? However, the human heart is separated from the belly, and no one is reliable at this time.
Chen Jinghuo struggled in his heart for a long time, and finally felt that he should be careful, so he ordered his guards to interrogate Luo Yuangao if he had also surrendered to the enemy, and not to touch his family before the results were out.
When Xuanyuan Mingguang learned that Chen Jinghuo had sent troops to surround Luofu, it was already the morning of the next day. He was in Luo Yuangao's mansion, almost every day by Luo Yuangao as a guest, almost every night and night, Xuanyuan Mingguang didn't want to be so depraved, but Luo Yuangao's hospitality was difficult, plus he wanted to take the opportunity to spy on the secrets of Chengdu Mansion, so when he woke up from a deep sleep, he found that Luo's mansion was in chaos.
After inquiring about the reason for the matter, he immediately secretly shouted in his heart that the big thing was not good, so that King Ji's big affairs could not be carried out smoothly. He was trapped in Luo Mansion again, unable to move, which was even worse.
"I must go out as soon as possible, and then act with the camera, and I must help the king take Chengdu Mansion as soon as possible." Xuanyuan Mingguang said to himself, and then he immediately took action.
Luofu is not big or small, Xuanyuan Mingguang turned around a few times, and found that the front and back doors of Luofu had been surrounded by Chen Jinghuo's men, looking at the Xichuan army waiting outside, Xuanyuan Mingguang couldn't help but have a headache.
But the hard work paid off, and in the end he finally found a way to get out. Then he returned to his room and waited patiently for the night to come.
In the dead of night, Xuanyuan Mingguang quietly came to the back garden of Luofu after Zishi, and the crescent moon in the sky had a glimmer of light, which did not affect Xuanyuan Mingguang's actions at all.
He moves swiftly and forcefully, like a vigorous tanuki, through the night. After a short walk, Xuanyuan Mingguang finally came to the destination of his trip, the dog cave in the back garden of Luofu.
"I didn't expect that a certain Xuanyuan Mingguang would have such a down-and-out time, and he would reach the point of drilling a dog hole." Xuanyuan Mingguang laughed at himself, carefully bent down, and carefully walked through the direction of the dog hole.
Outside the back garden of Luofu was a wilderness, Xuanyuan Mingguang poked his head out and looked around first, then carefully climbed out, and then gently patted the dirt on his body while observing left and right. After making sure that no one had spotted him, he quickly disappeared into the night.
……
Three days later, the rapidly advancing Weizhou army approached the city of Chengdu, and Chen Jinghuo sent people to arrange to defend the city on the one hand, and sent people around to gather reinforcements. Especially where Yang Shili, the envoy of Dongchuan Jiedu, Chen Jinghuo sent four groups of envoys one after another.
There was a panic in the city of Chengdu, and the people of Chengdu, who had not experienced war for a long time, were chaotic under the sudden military disaster.
Compared with the flustered Chen Jinghuo, Jin Luanwei, who had been hiding in the shadows, took action one after another, especially Xuanyuan Mingguang and Chengdu Jin Luanwei Captain Chun Niangzi.
Chun Niangzi admires Xuanyuan Mingguang very much, this young man dares to think and do, and he is very capable of doing things. It's like a very person, but now the investigation of King Ji's forces in Xichuan is very strong, so Chunniang closed the business of Qianjinlou and Meiya as early as possible, and concentrated on mobilizing forces to help the Weizhou army capture the city.
After years of development, Chengdu Mansion Jin Luanwei has become a spy organization with a large number of secret agents, and Chun Niang, the spy leader, still has all kinds of black materials from Chengdu Mansion to the deputy ambassador of the Jiedu Envoy to the Jiedu Envoy to the Jiading.
Now that it has reached the point of fighting each other, it is time for Jin Luanwei to exert his due strength.
After Xuanyuan Mingguang got out of trouble, he found Chunniang, and found that Jin Luanwei's bright and dark lines were activated everywhere in Chengdu City, and they took action one after another. As a result, all kinds of changes have occurred in the homes of almost all officials in Chengdu.
Some officials suddenly found that the submissive servants in their mansion suddenly became stronger, and they took out Jin Luanwei's secret letter to identify themselves, asking their own Ah Lang to make a choice.
Many officials were very cooperative, and they immediately entertained their own servants, and then patted their chests at their servants to express their admiration and worship for King Ji, and said that once the Weizhou army broke through the city, they would immediately bow down to King Ji's knees.
The secret spies who show their identities are not forced too hard, they are satisfied as long as the master writes down the chapter and presses the handprint. And then they piled up all these allegiances, and they did this just to clamp down on the officials and make them believe that they had the power in the hands of the Weizhou army.
And some uncooperative officials were immediately assassinated or accidental. All of a sudden, there was a lot of noise in the city of Chengdu, and people were panicked.
Chen Jinghuo drank alcohol every day to anesthetize himself to escape reality, so he was left to beat and scold the servants in the mansion. The guards in the Chengdu Mansion drove their soldiers to loot Lifang.
While contacting the secret agents in various places, Xuanyuan Mingguang used the secret method in Jin Luanwei to get in touch with the Weizhou army outside the city, and then agreed on the date of breaking the city. Chengdu Mansion is the central city of Shuzhong, where population and wealth are concentrated. Li Bao planned to start the operation of the Shanhe Society and the four major business groups as soon as possible after conquering Shuzhong, because Zhang Qingping felt that Chengdu Mansion should not be outside the slope as much as possible.
After some communication, the two sides agreed to start breaking the city three days later, that is, on September 20.
Three days later, the night was dark, and Xuanyuan Mingguang stood on the high platform, looking at the three hundred and twenty-three Jinluan guards in the audience, wearing night clothes. There was no expression on his serious face, but the excitement in his heart was indescribable.
It's finally time to act, and he has been waiting for a long time at this moment, and when Jin Luanwei's fangs are revealed, it is when he becomes famous.
He spoke to the brothers in the audience: "Brothers, tonight is a good day for our Xichuan Jin Luanwei to show his talents, are you excited? ”
Everyone shouted in unison: "Excited! ”
Xuanyuan Mingguang looked at everyone's words, and he was happy in his heart. "Let Xichuan tremble at the feet of our Weizhou Jin Luanwei tonight, act!"
The world knew Jin Luanwei, feared Jin Luanwei, and knew that Jin Luanwei's prestige began to be revealed on this night.
That night, in Chengdu Fuzhong, there were 139 officials of the Xichuan Festival, and 79 were assassinated or placed under house arrest.
There are 30,000 people in the Xichuan army, and the generals above have basically become a group of "bare-bones commanders", who look at the soldiers, but they can't command them, because their subordinates can no longer be found. Because nearly seventy percent of the middle and lower-level officers of the Xichuan Army have lost their traces, and all of this is due to Jin Luanwei.
After Zhang Qingping saw the torches waving on the city again, he immediately launched a siege battle, and the gate of Chengdu was opened in the roaring artillery fire. The galloping Hu brigade brought the will of King Ji of Weizhou, and the Xichuan Jiedu made Chen Jinghuo's reign history.
Chen Jinghuo, who received the genealogy report, trembled like a cicada after autumn, and couldn't stand up, he kept wondering why he was so unlucky. And this King Ji is so poisonous, it's not enough to hurt his brother, he has to risk his own life to be satisfied.
But he didn't have time to sigh, the gate of the Chen Mansion had been broken open by the frenzied Weizhou soldiers, and they were about to arrest him, maybe he should also be freed.
