Chapter 753: Mutiny
Dongcheng District of Yanjing City has always been the most important urban area of Yanjing City, because of the important officials of the Great Yan Kingdom, their mansions are almost concentrated in Dongcheng District. At this time, the Fengxiang battalion commanded by Su Yuting, with 5,000 men and horses, rushed into Dongcheng District like a wolf, and according to the pre-assigned target, each team of soldiers and horses quickly rushed to the mansion they needed to control.
The Fengxiang battalion made a big move, and did not go to the palace to attack, but threw all its troops into Dongcheng District.
The first to bear the brunt is naturally the residences of officials of several major families.
Taishi Mansion, soldiers, rites, workers, criminals, and households, as well as the mansion of Hu Xuexin, the secretary of Dali Temple, these mansions were soon surrounded by the well-trained Imperial Forest Legion, although the major mansions are far away, but the actions of the Fengxiang battalion are extremely unified, and before the dawn comes, several important hinterlands have been completely controlled.
In addition to these mansions, the mansions of some important yamen have also been fenced, and various streets have been blocked by blockades.
The 5,000 troops of the Fengxiang battalion may not be too much, but it is undeniable that Su Yuting has a strong ability to command troops, he knows how to maximize the use of the military resources in his hands, and he knows how to really control Dongcheng District.
To control the entire Dongcheng District, it is not necessary to surround all the mansions, nor to close all the roads, the key is that controlling those most important officials is equivalent to controlling Dongcheng, and even controlling the entire Yanjing City.
Su Yuting immediately looked at the entire Dongcheng District with a firelight, and the torches of the soldiers of the Fengxiang Battalion illuminated one place after another in the Dongcheng District, which also showed that his subordinates controlled one place after another.
Now that he has made a move, Su Yuting no longer regrets it, and he has never been afraid to use the most cruel force in such an accident, let alone shed blood and sacrifice.
Su Yuting knew very well in his heart that at this time, there might be many officials who were angry and angry, but when they saw the cold blade and even saw blood flowing out, they would definitely be quiet.
"Report!" They came at a gallop together, with a herald flag on their backs: "General Tang reported, the nine gates of Yanjing, all of them have been taken over and controlled, and the soldiers of the nine gates have all been disarmed!" ”
Su Yuting nodded.
This was what he expected, if Tang Mingwu couldn't even take down the nine gates, he wouldn't be as important as the prince.
The faint sound of weapons clashing in Dongcheng District did not make Su Yuting's calm expression change in the slightest, and the incident of resistance was something he expected, but there was no doubt that in Yanjing City today, it was impossible to have a stronger combat power than the Imperial Forest Army.
The commander-in-chief of the Fengxiang Battalion and the Volcano Battalion is in his own hands, with 10,000 Imperial Forest Army in his hands, which is an extremely powerful and terrifying combat force, such a force, if there is no obstacle, it can completely control the situation in Yanjing.
And the biggest obstacle ......!
Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on the corner of Su Yuting's mouth.
The distribution of troops in the capital, the strongest is naturally the Imperial Forest Army, followed by the Nine Gate soldiers, in addition to these two forces, the Yanjing Mansion, Dali Temple and the Criminal Department can not be ignored.
These three places are in charge of torture, but there are also a large number of yamen among the yamen, among which Yanjing Prefecture has five or six hundred yachas, who are responsible for the security of the capital, which can be said to be a large yamen.
In addition, the errand staff of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department add up, and there are no less than 1,000 people up and down.
It's just that according to the planned link, the Yanjing Mansion, Dali Temple and the Criminal Department at this time should be controlled by the people of the West Flower Hall, and Su Yuting still trusts the ability of the West Flower Hall.
In other words, the officials under the jurisdiction of these three places will also become the forces on their own side.
And the final threat came from the other two Royal Forest Battalions, Bai Yi's Longxiang Battalion and Changde Hou Cao Yin's Wolf Armor Battalion, both of which were extremely powerful in combat.
But Su Yuting was very calm in his heart.
In the prince's plan, these two major military forces were naturally taken into account, but the prince promised himself that as long as he could control Dongcheng District at the first time and hold the officials in the palm of his hand, then these two battalions would never become a threat.
Su Yuting thought about the key and knew in his heart that the prince's words were definitely reasonable.
So what he wants to do is to completely control the entire Dongcheng District before dawn, and capture the hundred officials in Dongcheng District, which is equivalent to holding the strongest trump card.
His task is to control the capital by the most cruel means, to control the family members, as long as he completes his task, and then he will wait for the movement of the prince.
……
The Taishi Mansion has also been surrounded by groups at this time, this is the place where Su Yuting is seriously ill, and there are 500 royal forest cavalry surrounding the Taishi Mansion of Nuoda, which can really be called a fly that can't even fly out.
Taishi Xiao has always slept late, he is old, his health is not good, he is lying in bed, and he can always sleep slightly until dawn, but this time, he has just fallen asleep, and the screams from the house woke him up.
Taishi Xiao frowned, and then heard the voice of the big butler outside the door: "Taishi, the Royal Forest Army...... The Imperial Forest Army has surrounded our Taishi Mansion! ”
When Taishi Xiao heard this, he suddenly changed color, he rolled over from countless winds and waves, and he had a strong sense of smell, and the words of the chief butler made him understand in an instant that he was in a huge crisis.
Guardsmen!
Surround the Taishi's Mansion!
From this sentence, Taishi Xiao only knew that tonight, a great change had happened in Yanjing City.
He quickly got up, put on his clothes, and just opened the door, there was already a group of people gathered outside the door, and when he saw the Taishi, he was excited one by one, and the chief butler had already stepped forward, bowing down, frightened and anxious: "Taishi, we are surrounded by us." Someone in the house went to question them, clashed with them, and was hacked to death by them in front of the house...... Someone is going to rebel! ”
"Which battalion?" Taishi's face was gloomy and he asked in a cold voice.
Someone next to him immediately said, "Yes...... It's the people of Fengxiang Camp! ”
"Fengxiang Camp?" Taishi Xiao's pupils contracted, his dry hands clenched into fists, and the corners of his eyes twitched, "Is it Su Yuting's centaur?" ”
At this moment, Xiao Lingzhi had already hurried over, stepped forward to support Xiao Taishi, and her beautiful face was also a little pale: "Grandpa, Feng Xiang has created the opposite!" ”
Xiao Taishi's whole body trembled with anger.
The chief butler was the old man beside Taishi Xiao, and he was also a confidant, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Taishi, let the shadow guard protect Taishi to break out ......!" ”
Taishi Xiao had already shook his head and said, "Since the Su family has done it, it is impossible for the old man to break through." He looked around, and everywhere there was a rush of fire, and his brow furrowed even tighter, and he pondered.
At this moment, he heard the sound of armor rubbing, and immediately saw dozens of house slaves from the Taishi Mansion outside the courtyard gate retreating with swords, while a group of cold-clad Fengxiang Battalion warriors were holding big knives and quickly rushed into the courtyard.
Master Tai's house slaves all stood in front of Master Tai, holding their broadswords tightly, and confronted the warriors of the Fengxiang Battalion who rushed in.
Taishi looked at the group of warriors coldly, and shouted in a deep voice: "Bold! ”
The group of warriors stopped, and a military general dressed as a guard captain came out, arched his hand towards Taishi Xiao, and said calmly: "Taishi, Commander Su has invited Taishi to drink tea!" ”
The sudden change in the capital was like lightning and thunder, and no one expected it in advance.
The two Royal Forest military camps cooperated tacitly like a storm, although Taishi Xiao was extremely cunning, but at this moment, he was also shocked, and he couldn't think of a way to deal with it for a while.
The chief butler scolded the group of warriors in a deep voice: "What do you want to do when you trespass into the Taishi Mansion? Rebellion? Are you going to rebel with Su Yuting? ”
The group of warriors was extremely indifferent, and the guard captain repeated again, "Taishi, Commander Su has invited Taishi to drink tea!" ”
At the same time, those secrets in the yard. More than a dozen ghostly Xiao family shadow guards have already emerged, and as soon as the Taishi gives an order, they will pounce on this group of warriors in the Fengxiang camp.
Xiao Taishi looked at the guard captain coldly, his mind quickly flew at this moment, judging the situation, guessing the inside story behind this mutiny, after a while, Xiao Taishi gently raised his hand, signaled the shadow guard to retreat, and then under Xiao Lingzhi's support, slowly stepped forward, his expression was calm, and he said lightly: "The old man is about to drink tea, lead the way!" ”
"Grandpa!"
"Taishi!"
Everyone in the Xiao Mansion screamed.
Taishi Xiao waved his hand, signaling everyone not to be frightened, and said lightly: "With the old man here, the sky can't fall!" ”
……
With the support of Xiao Lingzhi, Taishi Xiao followed the soldiers of the Fengxiang battalion out of the house, got into the prepared carriage, and walked for a short time until he arrived outside a courtyard.
At this time, the sky was already dark, when the carriage stopped, and Xiao Lingzhi helped Xiao Taishi down, she saw a carriage coming from the opposite side, and the carriage was also surrounded by the warriors of the Fengxiang Battalion, and when the carriage stopped, a person got down from the car, and Xiao Taishi's brows were even more furrowed.
It was no one else who got down from the carriage on the opposite side, and it was suddenly Han Xuandao, the head of the household.
There is no doubt that Han Xuandao's Hubu Shangshu Mansion has also been surrounded and controlled by the Fengxiang camp.
Han Xuandao saw Taishi Xiao, the two sworn enemies in the court, but they both showed strange smiles at this time, and Han Xuandao had already taken a few steps forward, and said with a smile: "Taishi was also invited to tea?" ”
Master Xiao laughed, "The old man should only invite me alone, it turns out that there are tea friends who drink tea." Xuan Dao, when you sat with the old man and drank tea, there were really few times, and I didn't expect to have such an opportunity today. ”
Han Xuandao stepped forward, held Taishi Xiao's other arm, and said with a faint smile: "The Su family has the heart to invite us to drink tea, I just hope that you don't take some coarse tea to fool us!" ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and under the cold knife of the warrior of the Fengxiang Battalion, they slowly entered the courtyard.
