Chapter 502: Siege of the Governor's Palace
Late at night, in Guyuan City, the Trilateral Governor's Palace.
Yang He, the governor of the three sides, was sitting behind the desk, reading a recital, his back was straight, and the official uniform of the second rank was square, and there was not a trace of wrinkles in sight. Those who are familiar with Governor Yang know that Governor Yang is a person who attaches great importance to his demeanor, and in Governor Yang's view, a person's demeanor represents the person's character, and if the appearance is frivolous, then the person's character is also poor.
Master Song Shiwen walked in lightly, for this Master Song, Governor Yang gave him the privilege to enter and exit Governor Yang's study without notification.
"Dong Weng." Song Shiwen stood in front of the desk and called softly.
Governor Yang rubbed his sour eyes, glanced at Song Shiwen, and said, "Brother Shiwen, why haven't you rested so late?" ”
Song Shiwen presented the two official documents in his hand to Governor Yang and said: "Dong Weng, a quarter of an hour ago, the Guyuan guerrilla general Wan Wenshan handed over a letter, saying that he had to report that there were bandits in the mountains disturbing the people, and he had led his troops out of the city overnight to suppress the bandits. ”
"Bandits?" Governor Yang snorted lightly and sneered: "The people's army in the entire Shaanxi territory has been submissive, where did the bandits suddenly appear?" This Wanwen Mountain, I don't know what the hell I want to do! ”
Song Shiwen's eyebrows jumped, pointed to another official letter, and said: "Coincidentally, Lu Chengyuan, the governor of Guyuan, also handed over an official letter in the evening, saying that he had a headache again and had gone out of the city overnight to seek a doctor. ”
"Huh?" Governor Yang heard something unusual in Song Shiwen's tone. In the entire Guyuan City, in addition to Yang He, the trilateral governor, the highest status is Lu Chengyuan, the governor of Guyuan. Guyuan guerrilla general Wanwenshan. On the same day, the two high-ranking officials of Wen Yiwu left Guyuan City at the same time. This is extremely abnormal.
Song Shiwen pointed to the official letter on the table and said: "When Lu Zhizhou sent this official letter to the governor's palace in the evening, I didn't pay attention to it. Just now, the 10,000 guerrillas sent another official letter. I realized something was wrong. Dong Weng, these two people are out of the city at the same time, will there be anything wrong with it? ”
Governor Yang pondered for a while, and thought carefully for a long time, but unfortunately he still didn't think of anything special. asked Song Shiwen, "What does Mr. think?" ”
Song Shiwen was actually thinking about this problem on the way to Governor Yang's study. It's a pity that he still can't figure it out, so he shook his head helplessly and said, "Recently, we have arranged for people to step up with the Heavenly Dragon in Gongchang Mansion. Except for the contact between the two people's armies of the fourth young lady, there are no major moves in other aspects. I can't think of any way we're going to irritate these two. ”
When Governor Yang heard this, he said, "Maybe we thought too much. Then send someone to find out where these two men are. ”
"Yes." Song Shiwen replied, and when he saw Yang He lowering his head to look at things again, he persuaded: "Dong Weng, it's late at night, let's rest early." ”
"Hmm. I know. There you go. Governor Yang waved his hand.
Song Shiwen went out of Governor Yang's study and arranged for people to verify the whereabouts of Wan Wenshan and Lu Chengyuan. A wave of sleepiness hit, and Song Shiwen felt sleepy and returned to his residence. Lie down in a wide coat.
I thought I would fall asleep soon, but I tossed and turned, and I couldn't sleep well. And the right eyelid is constantly throbbing.
After trying several times, I couldn't sleep. The uneasiness in Song Shiwen's heart became stronger and stronger, and he always felt that something big would happen tonight. Song Shiwen got up uneasy. Putting on a thick coat and waking up two of the governor's palace guards, the group of three went to the city gate.
Song Shiwen went to the east gate first, and saw that the city gate had already been locked, and the captain who guarded the city was also dutiful. After going to the other city gates and confirming that there were no problems with each city gate one by one, Song Shiwen returned to the Governor's Palace, and this time because he had a bottom in his heart, he slept very soundly.
Accidents always happen when they are thought to be the least likely to happen.
Song Shiwen was awakened by the sound of hurried footsteps. Song Shiwen could hear that the sound of footsteps was also mixed with the sound of weapons mopping and crashing.
At first, Song Shiwen thought that the guards of the Governor's Palace were practicing, but then he woke up to the fact that the guards were practicing in the afternoon, and now it was early in the morning!
After Song Shiwen hurriedly dressed up, he ran out of the bedroom and saw a group of guards of the Governor's Mansion holding their weapons and nervously rushing to the front yard of the Governor's Palace. Two teams of archers even climbed onto the rooftops to occupy the high ground. The guards' nervous expressions were like facing a great enemy!
Yang He, the governor of the three sides, hurriedly walked outside the governor's mansion, and Song Shiwen hurriedly followed, and asked in surprise: "Dong Weng, what's wrong?" ”
Governor Yang's face turned pale, and he shouted angrily as he walked: "It's the opposite, it's the opposite, it's really the opposite!" The three-sided governor's palace is actually surrounded by people! ”
Song Shiwen was stunned when he heard this, and then shouted in shock: "Who, who is so bold, dares to surround the Governor's Mansion!" ”
Governor Yang said angrily: "Who else can there be!" In the entire Northwest, except for that thorny Xu Liang, who dares to be so bold! ”
"It's him!" Song Shiwen exclaimed, "He, how did he get in?" ”
Governor Yang glared at Song Shiwen, his eyes like he was looking at an idiot.
Song Shiwen also woke up immediately, since Xu Liang was able to send troops to surround the Governor's Palace, but the city defense army in the city did not move, it means that Xu Liang led his troops into the city without any obstruction at all!
The city defense battalion is no longer available! Thinking of Wanwen Mountain last night, Lu Chengyuan went out of the city one after another, and Song Shiwen figured out the doorway in a blink of an eye. The reason why Wan Wenshan and Lu Chengyuan chose to leave Guyuan City before last night was to facilitate Xu Liang to lead his troops into the city.
Thinking of this, the cold sweat on Song Shiwen's head fell suddenly. He hurriedly stopped Governor Yang and said, "Dong Weng, Xu Liang is menacing this time, let's avoid his edge for the time being." ”
When Governor Yang heard this, he shouted angrily: "Bastard! How can the governor of the three sides be intimidated by a Xu Liang? ”
"Uh......"
Knowing that he couldn't persuade Governor Yang, Song Shiwen shouted at the soldiers of the Governor's Mansion beside him: "Protect the Governor!" ”
Outside the gate of the Governor's Palace, hundreds of soldiers from the Governor's Mansion were confronting the Liang army outside the gate, and the entire street where the Governor's Palace was located. Including the surrounding houses, they are all full of Liang soldiers at this moment. The archers of the Liang army had already found a commanding height as a firing position, facing the archers who had just ascended to the roof of the governor's palace.
Two teams of Governor's Palaces came out in person. Then the governor of the three sides, Yang He, and the master Song Shiwen, appeared under the gate.
When Song Shiwen saw Xu Liang, who was dressed in military uniform and standing upright in front of the gate of the Governor's Mansion like a golden knife, he couldn't help but be shocked and angry, pointing at Xu Liang and screaming: "Xu Liang, do you want to rebel?" ”
Xu Liang glanced at Song Shiwen coldly, snorted lightly, and turned to stare at Yang He, the governor of the three sides, and flicked the Pu knife in front of him that was straight into the crack of the blue bricks on the ground, and the blade of the knife made a buzzing sound.
Xu Liang lightly bowed his hand to Yang He, the governor of the three sides. Said: "In Xu Liang, the general of the Lower Liang Army, I have seen the governor of the three sides. ”
After Yang He walked out of the gate of the Governor's Palace, his eyes quickly looked at the situation around the Governor's Palace, and when he heard the name reported by Xu Liang, he couldn't help but be stunned, Xu Liang was a political participant in Shaanxi, and in front of himself, the governor of the three sides, he actually did not call the lower official, did not report the official position of participating in politics, but reported the name of the general of the Liang army. This in itself illustrates Xu Liang's position, and then I saw Xu Liang dressed in military uniform, with a big simple knife in front of him straight into the ground, and the soldiers of the Liang army around him were murderous.
Governor Yang's heart sank. looked at Xu Liang. Governor Yang snorted coldly and said, "What a general of the Liang army!" Xu Liang, you are here today, but you want to kill officials and rebel? ”
Xu Liang smiled slightly. "Your Excellency the Governor is serious. General Ben heard that the Governor General had been worried about the existence of the Liang army, and a few days ago he actually folded to the court. Demanded the dismantling of the Liang army. As the general of the Liang army, he had to consider the situation of the tens of thousands of Liang army soldiers below. Therefore, I have come here today to advise the Governor to recognize the situation and not to do that foolish thing of self-destruction. ”
Such a secret thing, Xu Liang actually knew about it so quickly! Governor Yang's heart was stirred. After the last unsuccessful request to dismantle the Liang army and the Pingliang general barracks, this time Governor Yang set a small target, and once again went up to the court to ask for the dismantling of the Liang army.
It's only been a few days since the song was sent out, and Xu Liang actually knew the news!
Governor Yang's face was hesitant, and Master Song Shiwen also saw his situation clearly at this moment, facing the Liang army surrounded by layers, Song Shiwen shouted inwardly: "Xu Liang, even if you have objections to the Governor's proposal to disarm, you can raise it with the Governor, why not besiege the Governor's Palace!" This is tantamount to rebellion, are you guilty? ”
Xu Liang looked up to the sky and laughed, and said, "Master Song said it lightly!" It's just that General Ben has always known that since the day Governor Yang took office, General Ben has been difficult to enter the eyes of Governor Yang, and Governor Yang has always wanted to get rid of General Ben. If General Ben does not come out with some money for negotiation, I am afraid that he will not even be able to enter the gate of the Governor's Palace. ”
"You ......" Song Shiwen was angry.
Governor Yang's face sank, and he said, "Xu Liang, you have raised troops here just to keep the number of the Liang army." If the Governor does not agree, what will you do? ”
When Xu Liang heard this, Sen Ran smiled, patted the back of the Pu knife in front of him with his right hand, and said: "Master Song has a word that is used very well, saying that this general is like a rebellion, this is the same as the two words, and it is used very well. Governor Yang, whether I, Xu Liang, am a rebellion or a real rebellion, it depends on your attitude. If Governor Yang insists on going his own way and does not repent of his death, then it is impossible to say, this general will wash the Governor's Mansion in blood today! ”
"You dare!!" Governor Yang was shocked and angry, "Xu Liang, you dare to do this!" Don't think that this Guyuan Prefecture is the world of your Xu Liang alone! This official is the trilateral governor of the Holy Lord's seal, and if you do this great rebellion, the court will track it down, and it will be a great crime to punish the nine clans. Even if you insist on going your own way, then you don't think about the Xu clan people who are far away in Ji'an Mansion, Jiangxi? ”
Xu Liang laughed and said disapprerovantly: "I don't have to worry about this, Lord Governor!" You might as well tell the Governor and Master Song that the four gates of Guyuan City are closed at this moment, and even a fly can't fly out. Moreover, there were still 10,000 Liang troops outside the city, 3,000 Liang cavalry, and 2,000 artillery battalions guarding them. Even if I kill the Governor's Mansion today, there will definitely not be a single word of rumors. After the incident, Lu Chengyuan, the governor of Guyuan Prefecture, handed the court a fold, and I thought about it for him, so I said that the leader of the people's army, Shangtianlong, pretended to accept Zhao'an, and led the troops to wash Guyuan City in blood, and after the general got the guerrilla general of Guyuan, he brought the Liang army to the rescue overnight, but it was too late, and the trilateral governor's mansion from Governor Yang down, hundreds of people, were all killed by the heavenly dragon, and none of them survived...... Your Excellency the Governor, are you satisfied with what General Ben says? ”
Every time Xu Liang said a word, Governor Yang's face turned pale. After Xu Liang finished speaking, Governor Yang was already bloodless, pointing at Xu Liang with a trembling finger, Governor Yang said angrily: "You, you are so reversing black and white, and brutalizing the second-grade feudal territory of the DPRK and China, are you a fool when you are a saint and the ministers of the DPRK and China?" will believe Lu Zhizhou's words! ”
Xu Liang smiled slightly, and said lightly: "If it was just Lu Zhizhou, of course the Holy Lord wouldn't believe it." But what if even Mr. Song, the most trusted master by Governor Yang's side, said the same? ”
Song Shiwen was so shocked that he almost jumped up, pointed at Xu Liang and shouted, "Nonsense! How could I possibly say that? ”
Xu Liang glanced at Song Shiwen and sneered: "Master Song naturally wouldn't say that when he was alive, but at that time, Master Song had been hacked to death with a knife, and he couldn't die anymore. Think about it, the saint took Master Song's masterpiece and Lu Zhizhou's twists and turns like this......"
Song Shiwen trembled all over, pointed at Xu Liang and said in horror: "You are so despicable! ”
Xu Liang no longer paid attention to Song Shiwen, turned to look at Governor Yang, and said, "Lord Governor, it's almost dawning this day, how do you think about it?" Have you decided to sit down and listen to General Ben's advice? ”
Governor Yang's face was cloudy, and he glared at Xu Liang.
Seeing this, Song Shiwen approached Governor Yang and whispered: "Dong Weng, the situation is not in our favor, you might as well agree to him for the time being......"
Governor Yang snorted lightly and whispered: "This governor doesn't believe it, Xu Liang really dares to do this!" ”
Although the voices of Yang He and Song Shiwen were small, Xu Liang's internal skills and hearing were excellent, and he could already hear the conversation between the two clearly.
Looking at Yang He and Song Shiwen regretfully, Xu Liang sighed and said, "It seems that the Governor still doesn't believe in General Ben's determination!" With that, Xu Liang waved his hand lightly forward.
A general of the Liang army beside Xu Liang drew his sword and pointed forward, shouting: "All the generals listen to the order and attack!" ”
"Hah!" In this instant, the Liang army that surrounded the yamen of the governor's mansion automatically divided into a row, crossed the Liang army's formation, and the swords and guns were flat, and the cold light flashed, approaching the soldiers of the governor's palace at the entrance of the yamen.
The pro-soldiers of the Governor's Mansion suddenly showed a commotion. The soldiers kept retreating towards Governor Yang, protecting Governor Yang and Master Song in the middle, while nervously paying attention to the Liang soldiers who were forcing forward.
"Dong Weng, what, what should I do?" Song Shiwen exclaimed angrily.
Governor Yang was carried by two personal soldiers to retreat into the governor's yamen, and saw another row of archers in the Liang army coming out of the crowd, and the arrows were aimed at the pro-soldiers of the governor's palace who were retreating.
Governor Yang sighed dejectedly: "That's it, Xu Liang, stop!" (To be continued......)
