Chapter 356: Chengdu Troubled Night
In the south of Chengdu, the boxes of the salary are placed in the center of the school field, the copper coins and cloth in it are exposed, many soldiers are staring at it, with a greedy look in their eyes, except for some of the regular troops in this army, the rest are the disciples and servants that Zhao Wei has raised for many years, so the military discipline is not strict, except for a few henchmen and guards, others do not know Meng Da's true intentions, how to control this group of rebellions, it is also a university question.
Meng Da climbed the watchtower irritably, trying to take advantage of the last rays of afterglow to look at the movement in the distance, the Diao Dou on the city tower knocked three times, the city towers on all sides raised fires, and Chengdu City officially entered the curfew.
"Can't wait any longer!" Meng Da walked down the watchtower and wiped the anxiety from his face, this army has aroused the suspicion of the nearby Shu army and the spies of the Su guard because of its long stay, if the troops do not move, I am afraid that there will be a defeat, Meng Da will be crossed, with the knife in hand, and began to command the troops to take weapons and prepare to assassinate Shifu.
He ordered the soldiers to assemble the whole team, divided into three phalanxes, the soldiers realized that this was not a formation of queues to receive salaries, seeing that the sky had slowly darkened, they were a little unclear, the rear team began to make noise, Meng Da walked over, kicked over the box containing military salaries, and the money and silk inside were scattered on the ground with a "bang", and the soldiers widened their eyes and looked at the general suspiciously.
Meng Da looked at them majestically, put his feet on the half-tilted box, and shouted: "Obey the order! ”
The soldiers held their breath and stopped talking.
"Liu Zhang is mediocre, it is no longer enough to be the lord of Yizhou, now Wenhou Lu Bu has personally led an army of 200,000 to attack Shu, and he will break through Chengdu in a few days. Kill Liu Zhang, welcome Wen Hou into Shu, Wen Hou said, after the matter is completed, no one will be rewarded Bailiang and promoted to three levels! The treasure in Liu Zhang's mansion. It's up to you to take it! ”
Meng Da knew that there was no point in reasoning with them, it was better to lure them with naked/naked/naked interests, when Liu Yan was alive, he wanted to establish himself as a king, and he had accumulated a lot of treasures and utensils in the house, any of which could make these outlaws live comfortably for the rest of their lives, so as soon as Meng Da's words spoke, those Zhao Wei's disciples and servants began to roar, and it sounded like a whole large number of people were responding to him. The herd mentality peculiar to human beings makes those who hesitate to follow suit.
When the school commander heard the noise, he hurriedly walked over to ask what was going on, Meng Da's facial expression, the knife in his hand flashed, blood splashed, and a bloody human skull rolled to the ground, and the entire school field immediately fell into silence. The laws of the Han Dynasty are strict, and the same is true in the army. Even slightly better, at this time, Meng Da killed the commander in public, they would also sit together, according to the law, these people under his command could not get rid of the guilt, Meng Da did this to completely cut off their retreat.
Once blood is seen. There was no turning back.
Meng Da got on the horse with a knife, raised the Pu knife in his hand that was still dripping blood, and shouted: "Come with me, and get rich and noble in this dynasty!" ”
After he finished speaking, he took the lead in rushing out of the school field, and the team of more than 500 people barely formed a marching formation. They began to run along South Street towards the north, and many of the soldiers did not even understand where they were going, and ran forward completely in obedience.
They must cross the South Street as fast as possible and surround the Praetorian Guard, the Praetorian Guard is Liu Yan's elite, I don't know how much effort it took on them, it is like a deep-sea octopus, its tentacles are all over the city, omnipotent, but the leader is the most vulnerable, as long as they surround the Praetorian Guard before Zhang Yi is aware of it, they can win the game, otherwise Zhang Yi and the Praetorian Guard will be hidden in the dark, waiting for the opportunity to show their fangs.
In the darkness, the metal weapons struck sonorously, and countless feet stepped on the bluestone pavement of South Street, making a heavy sound, like a shower falling to the ground, because of the curfew, this street that was very lively during the day did not have a single civilian at this time, only the unlucky patrol that occasionally walked by, either killed by three or five by two, or was coerced into the ranks.
Meng Da raised his head to look, and saw that the four guard lamps that were supposed to be kept out all night, three had been extinguished, and instead of three torches, he was happy in his heart, it seemed that Pang Le was going very well, and had already won three city gates, and now as long as the Vermilion Bird Gate in the north fell, it meant that the entire Chengdu was in their hands, and Chengdu was their world.
In the faint moonlight, Meng Dayi could see the vague outline of the Praetorian Guard in front of him, he quickly made a gesture to the two officers, the two of them understood, each took a few people out of the large army, and outflanked from the left and right directions, to ensure that the encirclement was completed as soon as possible, and the lights in the Praetorian Guard were like beans, and it seemed that they were not aware of the impending disaster at all.
Meng Da clenched the simple knife, and the will of the people was one, at this time he was like a gambler, and he had recovered to the invincible ranger of the year.
When Meng Da launched a charge, five miles north of him, Pang Le was looking up at the Vermilion Bird Gate, and the operation to seize the gate was going smoothly, which greatly surprised him, and even he was a little surprised, but in just half an hour, Pang Le had already seen the guard lights of the three city gates falling.
Chengdu is too big, and Zhao Wei's troops are stretched, so there are not many people assigned to him, only twenty people and four edicts, and three people each go to the four gates with a few retinues and an edict, as for how to seize the door, it depends on their respective means.
Now it seems that no matter whether the other three methods are soft or hard, they have been successfully won.
"It's up to me!"
Pang Le licked his lips, he was full of confidence in himself, he planted the Praetorian Guards and seized the door, everything was difficult, but he completed it perfectly, Pang Le was convinced that there will always be some people in this era who are talented, and that person will not be Meng Da, nor Zhao Wei, but himself.
Pang Le took out the edict and walked to the Vermilion Bird Gate, he thoroughly studied the Vermilion Bird Gate, the city gate order is a simple and simple old chief, the grade is older, the mind is relatively simple, only Zhang Yi is from, it is useless to persuade to surrender, fortunately, in the previous action of rectifying the Suwei and the Praetorian Guard, Zhao Wei mixed several henchmen into the Suzaku Gate, as long as he can deceive the time, he can be combined inside and outside, and kill this order with lightning speed, and then show the edict, it will definitely shock the group inside.
He walked over, and was about to call out the name of the city gate order, when he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and in the dark city gate hole directly opposite, there was a heavy and crisp sound of metal rubbing.
This voice said one thing, the gate of Suzaku Gate was slowly opening.
"What's going on? Could it be that Liu Zhang, they have already noticed it? A thought flashed through Pang Le's mind, and then he was denied: "If there is a change in Chengdu City, the defenders should close the city gate under the condition of unknown situation, maybe a certain messenger urgently went out of the city!" ”
Take 10,000 steps back, even if the defenders perceive that something is wrong and open the city gate, it doesn't matter, General Zhao Wei's clever hand is caused by Liu Zhang's soldiers within a radius of dozens of miles from Chengdu.
Thinking of this, Pang Le settled down a little, and said to the henchmen behind him: Follow me in, look at my eyes and act, but if there is any abnormal movement, it will be killed with one sword! “
The henchmen did not move, but pointed to the darkness in the cave of the city gate in horror, and their mouths grew up but could not make a sound.
Pang Le noticed Tianming's strange expression, looked back, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
"This, how is this possible, how is he!"
This became Pang Le's last words in this world.
Zhao Wei saw that the lights on the city gates on all sides had been extinguished, so he got up from the mansion, put on his helmet and hung his armor, and drove towards the Assassin's Mansion under the escort of several henchmen.
He confidently walked out of the mansion, boarded the jade-nosed car that had been prepared, and before leaving, he saw a black shadow flashing on the opposite side of the street, it was probably a spy of the Praetorian Guard, even if he knew his whereabouts, there was no superior to report, that Zhang Yi, I am afraid that he had become the ghost of Meng Da's knife.
The surrounding night was dark and oppressive, the streets were empty and cold, only the hooves of the carriage were heard knocking on the ground, and the echo sounded exceptionally crisp, Zhao Wei sat in the car, peeling off the cocoon in his heart.
Soon, Zhao Wei's frame drove to the outside of the Thorn Mansion, Zhao Wei got out of the car, and walked towards the main hall with the not-so-tall city wall, that place was the place where Liu Zhang humiliated him yesterday, today he wants to get back yesterday's face, and completely trample Liu Zhang under his feet, he has assisted the Liu family for two generations, and now it is time for him to call the shots.
As he walked, he stretched out his palm to rub against the rough surface of the wall, which was uneven and the sharp gravel made his palm ache, making him feel slightly comfortable.
On the other side, Meng Da took the lead, kicked open the wooden door of the Praetorian Guard, and rushed in with a big knife, but the situation inside the house surprised him.
There were a few oil lamps lit on the table in the room, but there was no one, and there was a lot of residual oil in the oil lamps, indicating that there was not much time to ignite, Meng Da calmed his mind and led the crowd to rush into several other rooms and the prison behind them, both of which were also empty.
He poured the Pu knife and walked out of the prison with a gloomy face, and several henchmen next to him were a little at a loss, and asked him what to do, Meng Da pondered for a moment and said, "Go and assassinate Shifu!" ”
Zhang Yi obviously heard the wind and slipped away first, although this made the situation complicated, but it was not out of Zhao Wei's expectations, with Zhang Yi's ears and eyes in Chengdu, it was not very difficult to know this matter, and Zhao Wei was also ready to deal with it.
Catch the big and put it down, as long as Liu Zhang is controlled, and the four doors are closed, even if Zhang Yi is good at martial arts, he will not be able to toss any wind and waves, and if he dies at that time, it will be like cheating in an urn. (To be continued.) )
