Chapter 426 The scheming city government is deeply resentful of breaking the city defense

Just because those who lost their money reported the loss of their belongings in the garden, what kind of identity did the imperial court officials have, although the lost belongings were not much, but the six gates of Kyoto were still like a great enemy, and good hands were sent to visit.

This investigation is even more strange, there are many celebrity calligraphy and paintings in the garden, there are a lot of precious porcelain, but the loss is the private property of the people, there are dozens of people who have lost money, but the loss of money is less than 1,000 taels of silver, not as much as half of an antique porcelain vase taken away.

The people in the six doors were all old people in the public gate, and at a glance, they knew that this matter was because of personal grudges, and the thief was not a person who was greedy for money, so he brought these subordinates to ask them carefully one by one, and this question asked Zhou Lirong out.

Although the subordinates were hesitant, the heads of those six doors were all staring at each other, and after three interrogations and six questions, they figured out what was going on, knowing that this person was snub and left in a bad mood, and then the loss of money happened.

But after exploring the site, there was no clue, and the money and possessions ran out on their own as if they had grown legs, and one of the knowledgeable old catchers in them suspected that this was something that only the top energetic people could do.

At this time, the court official already knew the news, and originally arranged to meet Zhou Lirong in this garden just to hide people's eyes, but he didn't expect that these waste minions would actually alarm the government for some property.

So he used his power to quickly quell the matter, and the matter was over, but Zhou Xiongqi was a person with great ambitions, and Zhou Lirong came this time with the intention of secretly investigating, so soon Zhou Xiongqi also got the news.

Although this person is not greedy for money, as long as he thinks that he has been despised, he will immediately return the color, and this kind of person is said to be happy and revenge at best, and will be repaid at worst, and he is narrow-minded. Although he usually puts the overall situation first in everything he does, and he is loyal to himself, it is like a thorn that pierces Zhou Xiongqi's heart.

In the days to come, Zhou Lirong did not show any even minor flaws, and after more than ten years, even Zhou Xiongqi slowly faded into this matter, and this thorn seemed to have been pulled out of the flesh little by little.

But another thing happened, and it smashed the thorn into the heart again.

At that time, Zhou Xiongqi was moved up and down in the court by the forces in the family, and was transferred back to Kyoto from the border pass to become a civilian Beijing official.

Because these four people are all extremely strong energy people, it has only been less than half a year since they were transferred back from the border pass, and they have already adapted to the perception of Kyoto's strength, and they are also familiar with the rules and connections in the forbidden army, and they have gradually gained a firm foothold.

But Zhou Xiongqi was in the stage of Taoguang cultivation at this time, and instructed these four people not to show their skills, and to wait for the opportunity to seek a high position. So during this period of time, these four King Kongs have been excluded and suppressed in the army.

These four people really followed Zhou Xiongqi's orders, and did not do anything to fight, but just bent to meet and maintain their position in the army. It took six or seven years for Zhou Xiongqi's family to finally defeat their political opponents and rise to prominence in the court.

With the support of this big backer, the four King Kongs finally ushered in their own dawn, and in the past few years, these people have improved by leaps and bounds under the strong energy induction of Kyoto. At this time, he showed his skills in the army, and with the help of his backers, he was also promoted year by year, and finally sat in the position of commander of the Kyoto Forbidden Army.

The defense of Kyoto relied on these forbidden troops, so these positions were also the most important, although these commanders were not of a higher rank than those generals, but this showed the trust of the imperial family, only a summons was needed, and the sealing of official positions was just a gesture. Therefore, in Kyoto, the position of military commander is to become the commander of the forbidden army, and he has embarked on the Cotai Strip.

In recent years, the four King Kongs have been suppressed by many people in the army, the second, third, and fourth are not good men and women, looking for opportunities to retaliate one by one, what to provoke and punish, demotion and dismissal of officials, and so on, this is also the winner, the prince and the loser, nothing unusual.

But that Zhou Lirong didn't do anything, and he didn't punish or exclude those who had embarrassed him, just like the actions of an extremely broad-minded person, but Zhou Xiongqi found something wrong.

These people who offended Zhou Lirong were unknowingly transferred to a team of soldiers and horses in the past few years, and Zhou Lirong also attached great importance to this army and horses, whether it was soldier training or military equipment, they were all exceptionally sophisticated.

However, more than ten years ago, the world was in turmoil, and the Huahan Kingdom had civil unrest in various places because of frequent natural and man-made disasters, which was called the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

At this time, Zhou Lirong was the commander of the forbidden army, and the chaos around Kyoto was inevitable, and he led his team to make many meritorious achievements.

In particular, he gathered the soldiers and horses of those who offended him back then, and the credit for the establishment was particularly many, and every time the chaos was quelled, other soldiers and horses were the first to engage in battle, and when the two sides were inseparable, exhausted, they put this army into it to make a final decision.

So every time the credit is the greatest, the loss is the smallest, everyone says that Zhou Lirong is broad-minded, regardless of previous suspicions, and is a big man. The people who made it difficult and oppressed him back then received such favors, and they were grateful one by one, and everyone praised Zhou Lirong.

Every time this army of soldiers and horses appears on the battlefield, it will inevitably win a big battle, and after a long time, everyone in this team is complacent, feeling that the battle on the battlefield can be won by their own impact. No matter how many friendly troops are killed or wounded, they can't attack the walls of the camp, and if they go up to it, they will immediately destroy the city and destroy it.

Don't you know that this is all Zhou Lirong judging the situation, and when the enemy is at the end of the crossbow, he will send it out, so that after more than half a year, the main force of the Yellow Turban Army will take risks, wanting to take a shortcut and take a surprise army to take Kyoto.

Because it is a strange soldier, there is not much grain and grass, and there is no backup, the purpose of the main force of the Yellow Turban Army is to quickly defeat the defending forbidden army, take the important places in Kyoto, and feed the war with war. There are 20,000 soldiers and horses in this army, and they are all the main force of the Yellow Turban Army, and there are also a large number of energetic people in it.

The one responsible for defending Kyoto was a forbidden army led by Zhou Lirong. Because no one thought that the Yellow Turban Army would dare to take such a risk, the defense force of Kyoto was weak, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court flew pigeons to pass a letter to Zhou Lirong while returning to the defense, telling him not to attack, and to stick to the city and wait for reinforcements.

Zhou Lirong replied that he would do so, and then arranged the soldiers and horses into two places, and led a part of the forbidden army to defend in Kyoto.

There is no problem with this, the art of war is cloudy, "the lonely city is difficult to defend", only this kind of mutual horn arrangement is the truth, the military department of the imperial court received Zhou Lirong's defense map, and also thought that there was no problem.

But things turned out to be unexpected.

After the main force of the Yellow Turban Army arrived in Kyoto, they began to attack the city while camping, and only besieged the small city with soldiers and horses, and most of the soldiers and horses stormed Kyoto.

Zhou Lirong delivered a message to the military horses in the small city, saying that the enemy was strong and should not act recklessly. Then he analyzed the weakness of the Yellow Turban Army's camp, how to break through to take the Chinese army directly, etc., and then said that after the arrival of the imperial court reinforcements, he would wait for his beacon signal and then kill according to this guidance.

But at night, the soldiers and horses in this small city suddenly came out and stormed the camp of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhou Lirong's analysis was really right, at the beginning of the march all the way, killing the enemy's army, but after all, the number was only a few thousand, and slowly fell into a bitter battle.

This team usually fights with the wind, and has never fought such a bitter battle, and it is about to be wiped out.

But suddenly saw that the gate of Kyoto was wide open, and Zhou Lirong jumped on the horse with a gun.

Kill will come out!
