Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Storm Is Coming
In the afternoon, the sunset is slanting in the west, the sunset is curling, in the city of Lanzhou, the pedestrians on the street are endless, bustling, so lively, there is no sense of chaos brought about by the rebellion of the peasant rebels, and there is a rare kind of peace and quiet.
On the top floor of a restaurant near Guild Hall Lane, at the railing, two people stood on the building, looking west, the golden afterglow reflected on their faces, making their resolute faces golden and more angular, and there was more bookish temperament in their masculine temperament. The two seem to be admiring the sunset and soaking in the beauty of the sunset. However. The corner of their eyes was wandering, scanning the huge courtyard not far away.
The two are none other than Li Guo and Tian Jianxiu. At this moment, the two of them disguised themselves as businessmen. If you are not familiar with the person, if you don't watch carefully, it is difficult to find their identity, it is Li Guo and Tian Jianxiu, who are in Lintao Mansion, and the two fierce generals under Li Zicheng have a lot of fame in the whole of Shaanxi.
Tian Jianxiu turned his head to look behind him, pretended to be casual and glanced at the other guests, quickly glanced around the restaurant, and saw that no one noticed his side, so he slowly turned back and continued to enjoy the sunset, but his lips were squirming, and he whispered: "Li Gongzi, you see, the mansion with the Lanzhou city wall as the north wall is the Suwang Mansion, surrounded by a radius of three miles, and the wall is more than two zhang high. Also, the building one hundred and fifty steps southwest of the city is the governor's yamen. ”
Li Guo's expression is still unwavering, calm and abnormal, at first glance, like a poetic scholar, elegant businessman, enjoying the sunset. However, the corner of his eyes shifted slightly with Tian Jianxiu's words, and he imperceptibly glanced at the Su Wangfu and the governor's yamen, imprinting the pictures in his mind, and thinking about it in his heart.
As soon as Tian Jianxiu's words fell, he heard Li Guo suddenly say: "Lao Tian, I received a few good goods today, follow me back to the room and help with the palms, how about it?" ”
Tian Jianxiu's words stopped abruptly, and all the words that reached his mouth were swallowed back, for; Li Guo diverted the topic, but he was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and then responded heartily: "Okay, Li Gongzi, please, just let Tian open his eyes, what novel gadgets did Li Gongzi receive?" ”
Crunch ~ crunch ~
The sound of wooden planks sounded, and the two walked away, going straight to the No. 1 wing of the restaurant, close to the corridor.
Not long after, in the No. 1 room of Tianzi, Li Guo and Tian Jianxiu sat in the innermost suite, and there was a sketch on the table between the two, and the latter said briefly: "Brother Li, this is the layout of King Su's mansion." ”
Hearing this, he looked at the outlines and annotations on the sketch, the criss-crossing corridors and the landscapes of the houses, and then combined with the picture in his mind, Li Guo frowned, and then said slowly: "Brother Tian, the Su Wangfu is also too big. Not to mention the 200 brothers who infiltrated the city, even if the 600 people outside the city were brought into the city, it was easy to take the Suwang Mansion, but it was difficult to control it. ”
"And, look, there are so many rooms in King Su's mansion, in the courtyard of the deep house, all of a sudden, how can we find King Su Zhu Zhihong and capture him as a hostage?"
Tian Jianxiu was stunned for a moment, he was very surprised, he didn't expect Li Guo to say this, and he understood the other party's intentions in an instant, and then said: "Brother Li, I understand what you mean, and I also know that this method is very good, holding Zhu Zhihong, the king of Su, hostage, so as to threaten Liu Guangsheng, so that he will not dare to act rashly, so he has to stop the army and negotiate." ”
"But Brother Li, you should also know that our main task this time is to startle the snake, use these eight hundred people to create a momentum, and create a false impression that Lanzhou City has been captured, so as to create opportunities for the boss."
After a slight pause, in order to increase the persuasiveness of his words, Tian Jianxiu's attitude became more solemn and sincere, and he further said: "You also know that Lanzhou City is so big, and there is a prince and a governor respectively. Not to mention this time, it is our heyday, and if we gather all our troops, we can't swallow Lanzhou City. Even if you take it, you can't control it. ”
"So, Brother Li, let's do what we planned~! If they are greedy for merit, if the overall deployment is disrupted, the boss will be in danger, and Yuzhong City will not be protected, everything will come to naught, and the early efforts will be in vain. ”
At this moment, a trace of crazy light flashed in Li Guo's eyes, but it gradually became dim, fleeting, calmed down, and replied in a deep voice: "Okay, just act according to the original plan." You are responsible for taking the East Gate, receiving your brothers into the city, and bringing in all the weapons and equipment; And I took the governor's yamen, and then attacked the palace of the king of Su. ”
Hearing this, seeing that Li Guo was speaking seriously, not like perfunctory words, Tian Jianxiu exhaled a long breath and reminded again: "Brother Li, the governor's yamen is simple, it is easy to take down, you don't need to go in person, just send a few brothers to sneak in through the back door, and you can control Liu Changsheng's family." Moreover, Brother Li, King Su's Mansion is the point. ”
Without any reply, Li Guo nodded heavily in response and approval.
Immediately afterwards, Tian Jianxiu stood up, threw out a word, and turned to leave.
"Brother Li, what should be said has already been said below, I will leave first, and the other brothers who have mixed into the city will meet at the designated place in the middle of the night at the third watch according to the previous agreement."
Late at night, the stars crawl all over the sky, and the whole Lanzhou city is shrouded in darkness, and the stars set off are getting brighter and brighter, and there is a different kind of beauty. The lights of the house have long been extinguished, and there is silence everywhere, except for a few barking dogs from time to time, as well as the sound of beating the watch.
"Knock knock... It's dry, be careful with the candles....."
In the middle of an alley, in the darkness, there was a sudden sound of slight footsteps, followed by a whispering voice: "Has everyone arrived?" ”
"Report to the captain, all the people of the First Banner are here."
"Report to the captain, all the people of the second banner are also here."
The two whispers that suddenly sounded backwards were the two banners in the hundred-man team under Li Guo.
Immediately, Li Guo's approving whisper sounded again in the darkness: "Good~!" All the personnel of the first and second small banners of the first major banner obey the order, and you are responsible for infiltrating the governor's yamen and controlling the family of the governor Liu Guangsheng. When you see a traffic light, you can act. ”
"Yes, Captain~!" The two flags responded in a low voice, followed by a slight sound of footsteps, and the twenty men disappeared into the night in a short time. Vaguely, it is not difficult to find that their backs are carrying scholar-style book arms, which are square and composed of wooden sticks. However, it should be simpler and the production process is simple.
Soon, Li Guo's voice sounded again, giving a series of orders.
"All the personnel obeyed the order, the third and fourth small flags of one big flag are responsible for the west gate of Suwangfu, the first and second small flags of the second big flag are responsible for the north gate of Suwangfu, and the third and fourth small flags of the two big flags sneaked into the ...... from the east gate of Suwangfu with me."
Before Li Guo finished speaking, he heard two voices ask in unison, "Captain, what are we two little flags doing?" ”
"Your task is very simple, after the three squads move, once the guns of the battle sound sound on Captain Tian's side, you will immediately move from the north gate of the Suwang Mansion, and clean up the soldiers of the Prince's Mansion left by the second squad along the way."
Li Guo's voice paused, his tone was a little heavier, to show his importance, and he continued in a serious tone: "You must remember that when you clean up the soldiers of the Suwang Mansion, the bigger the movement, the better." In short, to make the Suwang Mansion a big mess in the world, chickens and dogs jump, the more chaotic the better. When necessary, some extreme measures can be taken. ”
"Yes, Captain~!"
There was a kind of excitement in the two Xiaoqi's answers. They understood that the actions of the two teams of Xiaoqi were different from the other teams, they could let go of their hands, fight, and fight, while the other brothers sneaked in and went deep into the hinterland of King Su's Mansion.
Soon, there was a slight eastward movement, and it was obvious that two more groups of soldiers left, twenty people each, heading straight for the north and west gates of the Su Wang's Mansion.
At the same time, a dim light crossed the dark alley, and Li Guo's cheeks appeared, and Li Guo whispered solemnly and calmly: "Quick, act immediately, this light can't last too long, hurry up and assemble the ladder." ”
Within a minute of the dim light lasting, plus Li Guo and the two banners, twenty-three black-clothed people were impressively lined up, each carrying a square book on their backs, and began to disassemble it. In just a few seconds, the square book arm was disassembled into wooden sticks of equal length, two hollowed out, with a spiral structure hidden inside.
Immediately, the twenty soldiers did not hesitate, the movements were still crisp and neat, the connection was very smooth, the cooperation was tacit, and all the actions were done in one go. In a few tens of seconds, three ladders seven or eight meters long were assembled, firm and tough, lying across the ground, leaning against the wall of King Su's mansion, and the light suddenly faded out.
The whole process lasted very short, and the sound was even smaller and bizarre, and it was muffled by the summer insect chirping.
The sky is dark, the darkness is shrouded, the insects are chirping, and a storm is coming.
I'm sorry, but in the last few days, I can only change it alone, and sort out my thoughts
