Chapter 762: Trapped in Linzi
Linzi is the central part of Shandong, and since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it has been the political and economic center of Shandong, and it is still the same.
Cui Mingan moved from Dengzhou to Linzi to govern Shandong. Even during the war, Cui Mingan and the gentry in Linzi City also held a grand celebration, and Cui Mingan himself abandoned heavy political affairs, or invited three or five friends to drink and drink tea together, or invited a few famous prostitutes, on the Zihe River, he was very happy.
You must know that Linzi this place produces beautiful women, there are many green buildings, countless famous prostitutes, every year on the fifteenth day of the first month, it is the Oiran evaluation competition, at this time of the year, it will attract a lot of literati and ink writers to come here, it can be said that it is a major event in Linzi City, although it is still in the war period, Cui Mingan in order to whitewash the peace, highlight the prestige of Da Zhao, still ordered Linzi City to continue the Oiran Contest on the fifteenth day of the first month of the first month, even more grand than before. This is also the reason why Cui Mingan came to Linzi City.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the large and small green buildings in Linzi City began to get busy, and the teahouses and restaurants also began to open. Cui Mingan wants to take this opportunity to convey a message to the Shandong gentry that Shandong is still very peaceful, and it is still the territory of Da Zhao. In Linzi City, it is still him Cui Min who is in charge.
Across the city wall, Cheng Yanjin could even hear bursts of firecrackers and the sound of silk and bamboo, making his mouth grin behind his ears, the enemy was unprepared, and the more promising his attack was on Linzi City.
"Light the fire, let's go into town." Cheng Yanjin said loudly to the people behind him.
"Yes." Qi Yancheng didn't dare to slack off, and quickly ordered someone to light a torch, and the torch instantly illuminated the city.
"Who? Express on the name. "The fire under the city soon attracted the troops in the city, although these people did not have the heart to defend the city, they all wanted to see the lanterns in the city, but in the end it was their duty. One thing is wrong, shouting loudly. There was also a sound of gold and iron on the city wall,
"Zichuan Lang will Niu Youde come here, and on the orders of Lord Gao, he came to receive grain and grass." Cheng Yanjin roared loudly: "Hurry up and open the door, hurry up and prepare wine and food for the brothers, I'm cold to death." ”
"Cow is virtuous? Who is it? When the soldiers in the city heard this, they couldn't help but look at the soldiers under the city, only to see that the white Mingguang armor was true, and even the flag was the banner of the Zhao army. Most of the doubts in my heart are gone.
"Do you have a certificate?" Someone else asked aloud.
"Damn, where is there so much nonsense, if you don't open the city gate, forget it, Lao Tzu will not serve, this cold day, if it is not for the life of the tall man, do you think Lao Tzu is willing to come?" Cheng bit the Shandong dialect, raised his head, looked at the city wall and said, "Hang a basket and come down." I will give you all the tokens and talismans, grandma's, remember, this is General Xu Shiji's order. Give it to Master Cui to see. ”
I have to say that Cheng Biting Jin was lucky, when he broke through Zichuan, he did find an order from Xu Shiji in the county government, and the letter asking Zichuan to allocate grain and grass was also passed to Zichuan. After Cheng Biting Jin got it. Suddenly I felt joy descending from the sky, and I didn't think about it, so I made the decision to attack Linzi.
The defenders of the city listened to Cheng Yanjin's words. I believed that it was seven or eight points, and when the hanging basket came up, I saw the copper seals, letters, etc., nodded and said, "Wait, I'll go and let people open the city gate." ”
Cheng Biting Jin was about to rejoice, and suddenly a cold snort came from the city, saying: "Now that the city gate has been locked, you can't open the city gate, in case it is known by Lord Cui, you and my lives will not be guaranteed." ”
Cheng Yanjin heard this, and a trace of anger suddenly arose in his heart, and he couldn't help shouting loudly: "Grandma, hurry up and open the city gate, do you let our brother freeze to death outside?" Something happened, are you responsible? Hurry up and open the gates. ”
"Hurry up and open the city gates, it's cold." Behind him, Qi Yancheng also followed closely and shouted loudly, and immediately after, hundreds of voices clamored together. If you don't open the city gate at this time, don't say that the soldiers can't stand it, and if you wait until tomorrow, it will be easy to be exposed. Qi Yancheng will not let the city have a chance to think.
"This?" The captain of the city guard was also a little embarrassed, he saw that the soldiers under the city were indeed wearing armor, and it was indeed very cold to stand there on a snowy day, and a trace of pity suddenly appeared in his heart.
"Go, get some wine for the brothers below, and warm up first." The lieutenant thought for a while and said to Cheng Yanjin: "General Niu, you wait for a while, and wait for the last general to inform Lord Cui, without Lord Cui's order, it is not difficult for my brother to open the city gate, otherwise, my head will not be safe, and I ask the general to forgive me." The brothers first brought some wine to the brothers to warm themselves up. General Niu waited for a moment. ”
"Ahh Haha, okay, thank you bro. Cheng Yanjin was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but nodded, and arched his hand and said: "Thank you, brother, when we enter the city, you and I will be chattering." ”
He turned to Qi Yancheng and said: "Don't kill the two people in the city, my Lao Cheng can conquer the city, and I can kill some enemies who resist us, but we must not be ungrateful, the other party gave us wine to drink, so we can't kill them." ”
"The general can rest assured, the last general knows." Qi Yanfei hurriedly said.
Sure enough, after a while, a few bottles of wine were put down on the city tower, and after Cheng Yanjin tried it with silver nuggets first, someone took a sip, waited for a while, saw that there was no reaction, knew that there was no problem in the wine, and his heart was even more moved, and he shared a bottle of wine with the soldiers.
After waiting for half a sound, Cheng Yanjin felt that his hands and feet were hot, and he was very happy in his heart, and he could kill again later, at this time, there was a fire on the city, illuminating the city as if it were day.
Cui Mingan stretched out his head and looked at Cheng Yanjin and the others below, his brows furrowed, although everything was fine, but Cui Mingan always felt that everything in front of him was a little weird.
"General Niu, I heard that the tall man's leg fell, is it okay now?" Cui Mingan thought about it and asked loudly.
Qi Yancheng secretly shouted that it was not good when he heard it, this Cui Mingan seemed to have doubts, even if it was him, he didn't know that Zichuan County's leg had fallen, if he couldn't answer, I'm afraid it would be a bow and arrow greeting.
"Legs? The tall man's legs are fine! Cheng Yanjin was stunned for a moment, and then quickly opened his mouth and said: "Why, why didn't the last general know that the tall man's leg fell?" ”
"Oh! Presumably the old man remembered it wrongly, hehe, let General Niu smile and open the city gate. The last trace of doubt in Cui Mingan's heart disappeared without a trace, he really didn't know if there was really a problem with the leg of the Zichuan County Order, just now it was just a test of Cheng Biting Jin, if Cheng Biting Jin had a trace of doubt or had not healed, Cui Mingan would not hesitate to order his soldiers to release arrows and shoot these guys to death.
"Yes." The captain of the city gate did not dare to slack off, and quickly ordered someone to open the city gate.
"Quick, ready, after rushing in, you can send out the signal and defend the city gate." Cheng Yanjin listened to the sound of squeaking from the city gate, his face suddenly showed joy, and he hurriedly beckoned everyone left and right to say.
"Yes." Qi Yancheng and others have prepared, these people are all strong martial arts people, in order to take on the important task of seizing the city gate, now Linzi is in front of them, everyone's goal is about to be achieved, how unhappy everyone is, they have opened their eyes and looked at the city gate, and when the city gate is opened, they immediately attack.
Cui Mingan stood at the head of the city, his brows furrowed, but the uneasiness in his heart was even worse, seeing that the city gate was about to open, Cui Mingan looked into the distance, there was no movement in the distance, he looked around again, and finally his eyes fell on Cheng Yanjin and others.
Finally, he found that something was wrong, the current soldiers were too strict and orderly, and the military discipline was too good, whether they were standing or acting, they seemed to be carved out of a mold.
"This is a group of soldiers who have been rigorously trained, and although they are far apart, they have a bad aura on them. Not ordinary soldiers. Although Zichuan is located in a key position, there will be no such soldiers, and these soldiers are definitely not from Zichuan. Cui Min suddenly realized, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Quick, close the city gate, they are enemies, enemy attacks, enemy attacks." ”
"Kill!"
At the moment when he shouted, the city gate had been opened, Cheng Yanjin roared, three steps and two steps rushed in, the long lance in his hand waved, knocked down many soldiers who opened the door to the ground, behind him, Qi Yancheng led hundreds of soldiers to follow, into the city.
Cui Mingan at the head of the city was already stunned by the situation in front of him, although he thought that his guess was reasonable, but once it really happened, Cui Mingan still didn't expect that someone would really be so bold and break into Linzi to make trouble.
"Quick, quick, send a large army and take the city gates." Cui Mingan screamed.
"Bang!" A loud roar sounded, and a rocket rushed into the sky, making a loud noise in the night sky, and countless soldiers rushed out of the white snow in the distance, and they all rushed towards the city gate.
The army of more than 10,000 led by Cheng Yanjin finally entered Linzi City. Cui Mingan at the head of the city had his eyes wide open, looking at everything in front of him, he suddenly didn't know what to do, the entrance of the city gate was already screaming and killing, Cheng Yanjin was covered in blood, and the surrounding Qi Yanshan and others were the same, with hundreds of people to resist the counterattack of the Linzi defenders, the losses were still relatively large.
However, this situation completely changed when the two brothers Qin Hu and Qin Meng led the army to kill in, and the Linzi defenders retreated again and again under the attack of this group of tiger and wolf divisions.
The war did not subside until the next morning, and some of the officials and gentry of Linzi fled after hearing that the gates had fallen, and most of the officials and gentry were captured, including Cui Mingan. (To be continued.) )
