On December 4, the commander of the Ma Bujun stationed at the Xuanwu Gate of Tanzhou City made Xu Wei feel particularly comfortable, and as soon as it was dark, he began to gather with a group of relatives in the barracks. In the past two days, he has successfully hidden the belongings he has collected in the cellar of his home, and he has been with his two beloved concubines Hu Tianhu several times, and now, the defenders of the entire Tanzhou City are basically all their own people, this feeling of controlling everything is really cool!

The wine was so drunk that it was so pleasant that the group drank it from the evening (seven o'clock in the evening) until the end of the day (eleven o'clock). Xu Wei, who was already drunk, returned to his residence in the camp and fell asleep with his clothes closed. I don't know how long it took, Xu Wei, who was dreaming of spring, was awakened by a quick knock on the door.

Xu Wei got up angrily, staggered over, slammed open the door, and roared, "What are you doing? Lao Tzu slept beautifully! ”

The soldier bent down and said, "Lord Xu, now that it's past midday, there are many horses in the Xuanwu Gate, and they say that they have received an order from the prime minister of the horse to change the defense of the Xuanwu Gate. ”

Xu Wei's strength immediately woke up a lot, how could he not receive an order from the King of Chu for such an important matter? With a wave of his hand, he commanded, "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”

When Xu Wei arrived at the Xuanwu Gate, he found that there was a group of Tanzhou soldiers holding blazing torches under the Xuanwu Gate, and they were confronting his sixty night vigil soldiers, which seemed to be about a thousand people.

Xu Wei pushed away several soldiers in front of him, arched his hand at a strong man in command clothes on the opposite side, and asked with his tongue straight: "This brother, very raw, what do you call it?" Can there be a formal document for changing guards? Brother has never received an order from the King of Chu! ”

The big man at the head said with a cold face: "The change of defense is something that the King of Chu and the Prime Minister Ma just agreed on urgently, and the change of defense document is here." ”

After speaking, Dahan reached into his arms, took out a light cyan scroll, and stretched out to Xu Wei.

Xu Wei didn't answer, stepped forward, stared at the big man's face carefully, and said with some suspicion: "I know all the deputy generals of Tanzhou, why don't I have any impression of you?" ”

Dahan snorted coldly: "I am in charge of all enemy reconnaissance matters of the envoy of the horse, and he never shows up in front of people every day, of course you don't know what to do." Do you take this order or not? ”

Xu Wei took another step forward, still not stretching out his hand, his eyes looked at the big man again, and then looked at the soldiers behind him, but he still couldn't see a familiar face, and the doubts in his eyes were deeper.

"Bold Xu Wei, he didn't even listen to the military orders of the prime minister? See for yourself! The big man roared angrily and threw the Chinese book in his hand at Xu Wei fiercely.

Xu Wei took a step back, copied the paperwork, and quickly opened it to take a look, but found that the text was blank, and his face changed immediately. At this time, the big man had already deceived himself in front of Xu Wei, and a short sword suddenly popped out of his sleeve, stabbing him in the chest.

Xu Wei, who had always been on guard, immediately retreated sharply, but because of his hangover, his steps were much slower than usual, and he was stabbed in the chest by the sharp short sword.

Xu Wei trembled and roared in pain.

At the same time as the big man made a move, more than a dozen soldiers had already jumped out of the Tanzhou army behind him, and they rushed forward with great speed. In the blink of an eye, these soldiers had already rushed into Xu Wei's group of guards, slashing one by one, and striking extremely ruthlessly.

Xu Wei turned around and retreated sharply under the protection of two personal guards, and roared angrily in his mouth: "Someone has rebelled, take it down for me!" ”

The big man took out a yellow scroll from his arms again, shook it open, and shouted at the soldiers who had already rushed up to defend the city: "The edict of the King of Chu is here!" Xu Wei plotted against him, and Prime Minister Ma ordered to take it immediately! Violators will be killed! ”

The soldiers immediately hesitated, and the two sides said to each other that the other was in trouble, who should they listen to?

Xu Wei covered his chest with his right hand and roared sharply: "I, Xu Wei, have followed the King of Chu for many years, and I have always been loyal!" This order is absolutely fake, don't trust this person! Sound the alarm! ”

Immediately, a guard behind Xu Wei blew the sound of a horn to express vigilance.

The big man laughed cruelly, and with a wave of his hand, the thousands of soldiers behind him rushed forward at the same time, and Xu Wei's twenty personal guards and sixty soldiers defending the city disappeared like a Lang flower falling into the tide of the sea.

The big man is Chen Desheng, a special soldier under Lin Feng and the former deputy general of the Southern Tang Jianzhou Army.

Since entering Chu, Chen Desheng has been instructed by Lin Feng to hide his traces. Therefore, he did not show up much in the Meizhou War, the Yiyang War, and the Tanzhou War. After that, he was sent to Guizhou to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and naturally not many people in the Chu army knew him. At this moment, the vast majority of the soldiers led by Chen Desheng were naturally Wuchang elite soldiers who had changed into the military uniforms of the Chu State, and only two hundred and thirty soldiers were dressed as masters who had been temporarily recruited.

Soon, Xu Wei's personal guards were slaughtered, leaving him alone, and he was stabbed in the thigh during the melee, and he was forced to be left and right by several masters, and he was embarrassed.

Chen Desheng quietly disappeared past, and under the cover of a master's figure, he silently rushed in and out, and the short sword once again pierced into Xu Wei's right rib.

Xu Wei's whole face twitched in pain, and at the moment when he subconsciously raised his head and roared in pain, three arrows hit his throat, chest, and lower abdomen at the same time, which was the masterpiece of Qin Hansheng, the marksman of the special forces.

Xu Wei suddenly stopped breathing.

Chen Desheng grabbed Xu Wei's hair, and the person quickly circled around him, and the short sword in his hand made a whole circle, cutting off Xu Wei's entire head, and then kicked out, and the headless corpse fell heavily to the ground.

At this time, there were already soldiers patrolling the nearby city who rushed over when they heard the alarm, and soldiers from the barracks not far away kept rushing out.

Chen Desheng raised the head that was still bleeding in his hand, raised the edict with one hand, and shouted at the soldiers who came over: "The king of Chu has a will, arrest the thief Xu Wei, and put down his weapons as soon as possible, otherwise he will be punished as an accomplice and will not be spared!" ”

The eight patrol soldiers who rushed over had already recognized Xu Wei's head, and they were immediately startled and stopped.

Dozens of disguised Tang soldiers rushed over, collected their weapons one by one, and ordered them to kneel.

Chen Desheng rushed over with a large group of people, still raising his head, showing the edict, and shouting the "three-plate axe", first bluffing the soldiers who rushed out of the camp, and then collecting the weapons one by one, and escorting them all into the barracks to take care of them.

In this way, before dawn, all the 1,200 soldiers of the entire Xuanwu Gate were quietly taken down.

The soldiers worked together to clean up the street in front of the Xuanwu Gate, and only then did they open the city gate and restore normal order.

Although the people waiting outside the city were puzzled by the late opening of the city gate today, no one dared to ask the expressionless soldiers in the city gate cave, and consciously went about their own business.

Soon after, two hundred cavalry rushed out of the Xuanwumen barracks, followed by six hundred soldiers, and galloped south along Antai Avenue.

Soon, the detachment reached the intersection of Antai Avenue and Anle Avenue, and a hundred cavalry separated and hurried west along the north side of Anle Avenue, while the rest of the soldiers continued southward.

A hundred horses came to Zhang Longxing's old house in a few breaths, and the two cavalrymen led by jumped off their horses, walked to the door and patted them five times.

The door opened, and Lin Renzhao, who was dressed in Tanzhou soldier uniform, stretched out his head, saw the smiles on the faces of the two of them, and immediately asked happily: "Qizhi, Ruoli, the thing has succeeded?" ”

Zhou Qizhi and Yan Ruoli nodded fiercely at the same time.

Lin Renzhao was overjoyed, handed a handful of red cloth strips to the two, and motioned for them to be distributed to the cavalry behind them, and tied them to their left arms.

Lin Renzhao turned around and shouted to the five hundred soldiers in the courtyard who were also wearing Tanzhou military uniforms: "Brothers, the 'Shovel Plan' has officially begun!" ”

When all the soldiers heard the news, they immediately made the same action with Lin Renzhao, and they all raised their left hands and raised the weapons in their hands three times in a row. Their raised arms were all tied with red strips of cloth without exception!
