Chapter 325: Guyuan Mutiny [Medium]
After Huang Daozhou finished speaking, Xu Liang only thought that Huang Daozhou was joking.
Guyuan City is one of the nine sides of the court, the location of the three-sided governor's palace, and has always been heavily guarded. How could there be a mutiny in such a place?
However, on a cold and snowy day in the Zodiac Zhou, he saw sweat on his forehead, and he told Xu Liang anxiously that he didn't mean to joke at all.
After Huang Daozhou said it again, Xu Liangcai opened his mouth wide in shock, screamed strangely, threw down the food in his hand, got up and shouted loudly to prepare the carriage, and Dai Yingying hurriedly returned to the house, quickly changed his clothes, and followed closely with weapons.
Fortunately, Tsing Yi Wei's response has always been very fast. As soon as the tea was done, a team of Tsing Yi guards hugged a carriage and stayed outside the Xu Mansion.
Xu Liangsan boarded the carriage in two steps, Dai Yingying roared, and the carriage drove towards the prefect's yamen. Suddenly, Huang Daozhou shouted and chased after him, grabbed one of the coachman's hands, and followed into the carriage.
"My lord, the lower official will go with you." Huang Daozhou said with a hot breath.
Xu Liang nodded, suddenly took out the Liang army order charm he was carrying, handed it to the outside of the carriage, and shouted outward: "Order Xing Zhongshan, take two battalions of Liang army to wait outside the city!" ”
The two guards outside the carriage took the order and took the order.
The group hurried to the gate of the prefect's office, and saw that the soldiers stationed in the Beijing camp were assembling, and the officials who came in and out were in a hurry, and there was a solemn atmosphere.
When Xu Liang and Huang Daozhou Chaoli walked in, they met Qiao Yunsheng, Zhang Nianyun and Hong Chengchou and walked out.
"My lord, what's the situation?" Xu Liang arched his hand to the three of them and asked, at this time. is not separated from relatives, and his eyes are looking at the three of them.
Qiao Shangshu said in a deep voice: "There was a mutiny in Guyuan City. The rebel army has captured the state government and the state warehouse, and the rebel army is currently surrounding the trilateral governor's palace. The old man was about to bring someone to the rescue. ”
"Xia Guan has ordered the Liang army to assemble outside the city. At any time, you can wait for Lord Shangshu to dispatch! Xu Liang said solemnly.
"Okay, then let's go out of the city with the old man!" Qiao Shangshu nodded and said in a deep voice. After that, he walked with Zhang Nianyun and Hong Chengchou to the gate of the mansion.
The generals stationed in Beijing shouted loudly and urged the officers and soldiers to speed up the assembly.
Seeing this, Xu Liang didn't care about entering the mansion, turned around and walked out, took two steps, and found that Huang Daozhou was still following closely, so he couldn't help but turn around and say, "Lord Huang." Guyuan is in danger, but the safety of Pingliang City cannot be relaxed! Don't go with you, stay in the house, and guard the rear. ”
"Huh?" Zodiac Zhou was stunned, and finally came to his senses, if the adults in the government rushed to Guyuan, who would stay in Pingliang? However, Huang Daozhou wanted to follow Guyuan even more, so he hesitated and said: "Pingliang has Lord Futai watching, there will be no problems." ”
Xu Liang paused. He glanced at the depths of the palace and said, "I can't trust him." ”
Huang Daozhou immediately reacted, nodded and said, "Then the lower official will stay in the mansion and wait for the good news of the adults." ”
Then. Another voice shouted, "Lord Xu, the end will go with you!" ”
Xu Liang looked at it, but it was Li Ying, a guerrilla general in Guyuan. It's just that General Li at this time has no general's demeanor. His eyes were bloodshot and his face was tired. A body of armor covered in blood. The helmet also fell off, and I don't know where the sword was lost. There was only an empty scabbard hanging from his waist, and a pair of boots had several cuts on it, soaked by the rain, leaving a string of watermarks on his feet wet.
Xu Liang asked in surprise, "Why is General Li here?" ”
Li Ying said with a red face and shame: "Guyuan mutinied, and after the last general broke through from the camp, he rushed all the way to report to Lord Qincha. ”
Huang Daozhou said: "General Li set off during the mutiny yesterday and walked all night before arriving in Pingliang. ”
Xu Liang looked at General Li Ying and felt a little warm, and asked, "Can you still hold on?" ”
Li guerrilla said: "No problem. ”
Since Li Guerrilla said that there was no problem, Xu Liang took him with him and wanted to keep General Li in the carriage, but General Li refused to live or die, so he rode a horse to follow.
At this time, the two Qincha had already gone out of the city gate with the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp, Xu Liang saw that several carriages were parked outside the yamen of the prefect's mansion, and the carriages were full of large bags of goods. Xu Liang guessed that this was probably a souvenir that the two Qincha adults wanted to bring back to the capital. It's just a very unfortunate that just after being transported out of the government, there was a mutiny in Guyuan, and he couldn't get off for a while.
Xu Liang and others rushed to the west city gate, and saw Pingliang's guerrilla deputy general Long Feng leading several personal soldiers standing at the city gate, and when they saw Xu Liang's carriage coming, Deputy General Long stepped forward to salute.
Xu Liang said sharply: "General Long, after the troops leave the city, the four gates of Pingliang City will be closed, and the whole city will be under martial law!" The gates of the city shall not be opened until our army returns!" ”
"The last general commands!" Vice Admiral Long replied loudly.
Xu Liang and the others walked out of the west city gate, and the city gate behind them slowly closed, and Vice General Long stood on the city tower and saluted Xu Liang. On the field outside the city, Xing Zhongshan led two battalions of more than 6,000 Liang troops and was ready to go. Xu Liang joined the Liang army, and then followed the march route of Qin Cha towards Guyuan City.
Sitting in the carriage at this time, Xu Liang had time to sort out the matter of the Guyuan mutiny, called Li Ying to the carriage, and asked as he walked.
Li Ying, a guerrilla general in Guyuan, told Xu Liang about the before and after of the Guyuan mutiny. Only then did Xu Liang understand that the mutiny in Guyuan City was related to the court's arrears of military salaries for several months. The soldiers have a long-standing grudge against each other, and a mutiny could break out at any time. Guyuan guerrilla general Li Ying is particularly miserable, when the mutiny occurred, General Li was at home with his mother-in-law sleeping, without warning, the rebel army rushed into Li guerrilla's home, in the panic, Li guerrilla only had time to take care of himself to escape, his wife and daughter and family were lost in Guyuan City, Li guerrilla at first wanted to go to the trilateral governor Wu Zhiwang to move the rescue troops, but went to the outside of the governor's mansion, saw that the rebel army had surrounded the governor's mansion, Li guerrilla only then knew that the matter was big, and overnight he grabbed the horse and rushed to Pingliang to report the news.
When Xu Liang heard this, he was a little dissatisfied with Li's guerrilla, and reproached: "General Li, why are you so careless? There was such a large-scale mutiny in Guyuan City, how could there be no omen in advance? ”
Li Ying thought back to the events before and after the mutiny, and said hesitantly: "Lord Xu, although this mutiny was caused by the court's arrears of military salaries, but the last general thought about it all the way, and there were many people who deliberately provoked the feelings of the soldiers. ”
Xu Liang said: "Who dares to be so bold? ”
Li Ying said hatefully: "A few months ago, Zhang Fengqi, the prefect of Pingliang, placed a group of people in the guerrilla army of the last general, among whom there was a scarred face, who seemed to be the leader of this group. Nine times out of ten, this mutiny is inseparable from this person! ”
"Scarface?" When Xu Liang heard this, he couldn't help but recall a vague face in his mind, and asked in a deep voice, "What is this person's name?" ”
"The surname is Zhao, and the name is Zhao Dong!" Lee guerrilla said.
"Surname Zhao?!" Xu Liang exclaimed, "Did the knife wound on that person's face cut diagonally from the left half of his face to the right side of his face, and the knife wound was extremely deep?" ”
"Exactly!" Li Guerrilla was also taken aback, "It turns out that Lord Xu has also seen Zhao Dong?"
"What Zhao Dong!" Xu Liang snorted coldly and scolded: "This person's surname is Zhao Bufake, but his real name is not Zhao Dong, but Zhao Yong, who was originally the commander of the guards of the Han Wangfu!" The officer has been tracking down the whereabouts of this person, but he actually hid in the army. ”
"Huh?" Guerrilla Lee exclaimed.
Xu Liang thought that since Zhao Yongyong hid in the army, it was very likely that this mutiny was caused by Zhao Yongyong. No, Han Shizi should be the mastermind, Zhao Yongwu is a martial artist, and he still can't think of such a high-tech thing. Unexpectedly, Xu Liang made a so-so fake dragon robe to frame Han Wangye for rebellion, and he actually hit it crookedly, and Han Shizi Zhu Zijian really had a bad heart.
Xu Liang thought for a while, and then asked Li Guerrilla in a deep voice: "Since you have already discovered that this Zhao Yong has a ghost in his heart, why don't you eradicate it as soon as possible to prevent future troubles?" ”
Li Guerrilla said in embarrassment: "This Zhao will always be the person arranged by Governor Zhang, and the last general has also wanted to clear this person out of the army several times, but he has only failed to act because of Governor Zhang's face!" ”
Unexpectedly, Zhang Fengqi was also implicated! Xu Liang said secretly.
Li Guerrilla said anxiously: "Lord Xu, it has been a night since the mutiny, and when the last general escaped from Guyuan City, the rebel army had already surrounded the governor's mansion, and the family members of the last general were also lost in the city, so we have to speed up the march." ”
Xu Liang nodded and shouted at Xing Zhongshan: "General Xing, order the soldiers to run forward!" (To be continued......)
