Chapter 198: Seize the Door

There are a total of nine gates in Beijing, guarded by the Five Cities Terracotta Division, which is probably clear to the Chinese military officials in Beijing, perhaps Yang Jiefu and others thought that by guarding these nine gates, they could isolate the inside and outside of the capital, but they seemed to have forgotten that there was actually another door in the capital that could enter and exit.

"You all be careful, no matter what happens for a while, you will never be allowed to do it without my orders. I will do everything in and out of the city gates. Five miles outside the capital, Xu Guang said to the three hundred elite soldiers behind Li You with a serious expression, at this time they had already taken off their armor and changed into tattered clothes, and long weapons such as spears and knives were abandoned, and they only carried swords or swords, and Li You and Qian Hua were the same.

Wei Shiliang stood in the middle of the team with Li Gui in his arms, and they also dressed up in disguise, but the burden that Wei Shiliang hugged tightly in his arms still contained Li Gui's dragon robe.

"Obey Mr. Xu's orders!" Everyone lowered their voices and responded in unison, these are all loyal people who have been selected and chosen, and now they are about to enter the capital, when they think of this, they are even more nervous than when they fought with Tang Kuobu, Xu Guang finished ordering, Li You and Qian Hua calmed them down for a long time before they relaxed a little.

About half an hour later, when the sun was gradually setting, a fleet of ships quietly appeared in the canal in front of them, the leading ship waved the flag from afar, Xu Guang unhurriedly took out a flag and shook it a few times at the fleet, the fleet slowly slowed down and stopped in front of Xu Guang.

"I've seen Shizi, I've seen Mr. Xu." A dark-skinned man jumped ashore without waiting for the boat to stop, and saluted respectfully.

"Uncle Zhen, don't be polite." Qian Hua hurriedly took two steps forward to help Qian Zhen up, turned around and introduced to Li Gui, Li You and others, "Uncle Zhen is my father's right-hand man, he has been in charge of escorting the grain for more than ten years, and he has never had any baskets, and my father's trust in Uncle Zhen is far better than mine." ”

"It's not too early, let's not talk so much about it, let's get on the boat quickly." Seeing that Li You and the others were about to step forward to be polite, Qian Zhen hurriedly stopped, and gestured a few times on the boat, and immediately hundreds of escorts accompanying the ship silently disembarked and went ashore.

Li You immediately took Li Gui, Qian Hua and three hundred personal soldiers to hurry on the ship, and the sailors on the ship were also subordinates of the Qian family for many years, as if they didn't see it, they immediately began to row and prepare to move forward again, and the guards under the ship had Li You's cronies who were responsible for temporarily guarding them so as not to leak secrets.

After almost an hour, the fleet finally arrived at the water gate for ships to enter the capital before sunset, Qian Zhen skillfully handed over all kinds of documents and bribes, and the messenger guarding the water gate laughed and joked with Qian Zhen, and then got on the boat and dealt with them casually and let them into the city.

The problem of entering the city that had plagued Li You for a long time was solved so easily, and after entering the water gate and walking for a while, Qian Zhen turned back to Li You and said, "Although the civil and military officials in Beijing eat all the grain transported from this city gate, few people have always remembered this gate, so as soon as Mr. Xu found the old lord, the old lord set this strategy. ”

"The old lord asked me to go out of the city secretly, replaced this batch of people who transported the grain with our Qian family's cronies, and held a banquet in Beijing to dispel the worries of Yang Jiefu and others; Mr. Xu also quarreled with Yang Jiefu and his family about the death of Lu Guogong, and constantly sent people to contact the officials of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, so that Yang Jiefu and the others had no time to take care of anything else, so that it was as smooth as today. Qian Zhen explained the reason for the incident.

"This is all discussed by Master Dao Yan and the old lord, Master Dao Yan is already waiting in front, and he will inform you of the next step later." Xu Guang whispered in Li You's ear.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being the person who sent Zhu Di to the throne of the Ninety-Five, the most difficult thing was not expected to be solved by him so easily, Li You knew that although few people knew about the Water Gate, it did not mean that it was absolutely safe, and he could enter the city so easily, presumably Yao Guangxiao did not spend less effort behind his back, diverting the attention of Yang Jiefu and others, bribing the guards of the Water Gate, etc., these are not easy things.

Not long after entering the city, everyone came to the warehouse where the grain was stored, and came to the courtyard that Qian Zhen had already prepared, Yao Guangxiao, who was dressed in a monk's robe, hurriedly invited Li You, Qian Hua, Xu Guang and others into the house, and told his plan in detail, Li You was impressed after listening to it, "I didn't expect the master to lay out such a careful plan when he first entered the capital." ”

"The little lord has won the prize." Yao Guangxiao's face was not sad or happy, and the expression on his face did not change at all because of Li You's praise, "It's still early, the poor monks have already prepared dry food for them, rest for a while after eating, and start acting as soon as the time comes." ”

At three o'clock, the whole capital fell into a deep sleep, and only the sound of the husband's bang occasionally sounded on the street; And in this courtyard, three hundred soldiers were ready to go.

"Everyone, don't talk about today's affairs, if we are defeated, we and our families will not be spared, if it is done, it will be okay to seal my wife and son in the future! All go with me to make a fortune. Li You said that he took the lead and walked in the front, and then three hundred soldiers protected Li Gui and rushed quickly towards the palace, only by controlling the situation in the palace in front of the court, could they hope to save their lives after that.

"I've already arranged for men to set fire everywhere, and I can probably move the troops on this road away for half an hour, and we need to rush outside the palace in half an hour." Yao Guangxiao followed closely beside Li You and said.

Li You looked up, and there were fires burning in several places in the distance at the same time, but the front of the road was empty; This black-clothed prime minister is really ruthless, and I don't know how many innocent people will die because of this fire.

But now is far from the time to sigh, Li You put these untimely thoughts aside in his heart, and immediately urged the army to speed up, and the owners of the mansions along the way were awakened from their dreams by the sound of their footsteps, and saw this scene through the crack in the door, and immediately covered their mouths tightly in fright, lest they lose their voices and surprise them to bring death to themselves.

After this hour, the army finally arrived outside the Chang'an Gate, and Wei Shiliang, who had already recovered the costume of the great eunuch, came out of the crowd tremblingly, and shouted to the defenders outside the door, "Our eunuch Wei Shiliang, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, has something important to enter the palace, so open the door quickly." ”

Li You behind him held the Heaven-Shaking Bow tightly, and if there was the slightest abnormality in the defenders on the opposite side, he would immediately start attacking. (To be continued.) )
