When the defender Cui Wenrong saw that the rebels had crossed the river in a big way, he immediately realized that the siege was coming.

He immediately transferred troops and sent generals, and came to the governor's yamen again to ask Tang Hui for silver.

"Lord Futai, this military salary cannot be delayed any longer, it must be issued immediately, otherwise, I am afraid that my sergeants will have the possibility of mutiny!"

Tang Hui heard that Cui Wenrong was coming to ask for money again, and immediately spread his hands and said: "General Cui, it's not that the official is unwilling to give money, but that there is no money in the treasury at all, and the king of Chu is unwilling to pay, so I can't help it!" ”

Cui Wenrong looked at Tang Hui's unscathed appearance, and his heart was really going to be bleeding.

Not to mention that your governor bought and sold officials in Huguang, he also colluded with the eunuchs of the banknote to make a lot of money, and he also made a lot of money, and the taxes paid by the people of Huguang have somehow much entered the pocket of you, the governor.

Now that the thieves have reached the gate of the city, this governor is reluctant to take out tens of thousands of taels of silver to pay those soldiers, which is really stupid and incurable.

Cui Wenrong stared at Tang Hui's face, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

In the end, he couldn't help but say: "Lord Futai, you can't escape the blame for the situation in Huguang today, this Wuchang has become a lonely city, and everyone knows what your adults have done in Huguang over the years."

The subordinates heard rumors from the people that the anti-thief Mo Wen had a special system for censoring court officials, called the Public Trial Conference.

All officials who are captured alive in the city will be dragged to the vegetable market for public trial, and the innocent officials will be released after the public trial of the people, and once they are found guilty by the people, they will die!

What the adults did in Huguang, the people of Huguang saw it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts, when the time comes, after the city is broken, whether it is dead or alive, the adults still have to count on those people, and the end will leave! ”

Cui Wenrong left with a sense of anger, Tang Hui looked at Cui Wenrong's back, threw away the inkstone on the table angrily, and scolded angrily: "Good you Cui Wenrong!" ”

Cui Wenrong returned to the mansion, and before he entered the door, he saw eight senior generals in the army waiting for him.

When everyone saw Cui Wenrong returning home, they greeted him one after another, and said respectfully: "General, you can come back!" ”

"But what's the matter?"

One of the thousand households said: "General, something is wrong in the camp today, many brothers are very angry, and there seems to be a possibility of mutiny, I don't know when the governor will be able to pay the brothers, and if they don't pay the silver, the wives and children of the brothers will starve to death!" ”

Cui Wenrong sighed and said, "I've been thinking of a way to pay the army, I should be able to come down in the next few days, you go back to the camps first, and get ready to fight!" ”

After speaking, Cui Wenrong turned around and went home.

Looking at the closed gate, the eight officers were stupid.

Originally, the eight people came to ask about military salaries, but they were sent away by Cui Wenrong in a few words.

A famous Qian always said a little angrily: "This general is really, in the end, he won't give a day, how can we explain to the brothers below, now the military salary is not not not said, even the food is poor to death, if it goes on like this, how can this soldier bring!" ”

"That is, this military salary has been delayed for half a year, and I don't think these officials want to pay the brothers."

"I heard from my brothers that several waves of people secretly left the city last night, and I am afraid that they will surrender!"

As soon as these words came out, the scene was instantly quiet, everyone, you look at me, I look at you.

As soon as Gao Huijie heard this, cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.

Afraid that others would suspect him, he was the first to jump out and say, "Surrender? We are officials, what is outside the city, it is a thief, where are the officials and soldiers who surrender to the thieves, everyone is a brother in life and death, I don't believe that anyone dares to do anything to surrender to the enemy, if anyone dares to surrender to the enemy, I Gao Huijie will be the first to spare him! ”

As soon as Gao Huijie's words came out, the faces of the two people changed in an instant.

The rest of the people could see at a glance that those two must have ghosts.

It's just that they are all brothers in life and death for many years, and everyone's hearts are like mirrors, and no one will be stupid enough to break anyone at this node.

Everyone went back to the camp, and after returning to the camp, Gao Huijie went into his barracks, took off his military hat and touched the sweat on his head.

As soon as he sat down, Jia Peiguo walked in.

He said to Gao Huijie: "General, all arranged, the two flags under my command will be changed to Binyang Gate tonight, and the general can arrange the army in a private house not far from the city gate when the son is in the hour, and when the time comes, I will lead the brothers to open the city gate and welcome the rebels outside the city." ”

Gao Huijie glanced outside the door, and after confirming that there was no one, he asked Jia Peiguo: "It must be arranged foolproof, just now I went to see General Cui with a few generals, someone has already discovered that something is wrong in the camp, we must succeed in one fell swoop tonight, once we fail, we will die without a place to be buried!" ”

"Don't worry, General, my arrangements are absolutely confidential, when the general goes out, remember to wrap the brothers' right arm with a white cloth to avoid accidental injury!"

"Okay, I got it!"

......

At the end of the day, Jia Peiguo led two banners to change the guard under Binyang Gate.

When the shift was handed over, a general flag couldn't help but be suspicious when he saw that it was Jia Peiguo of Qianhu who came to change shifts.

He asked Jia Peiguo: "Jia Qianhu, why did you come to change the guard in person tonight?" ”

Jia Peiguo replied with a smile: "The anti-thieves are about to attack the city, and the garrison general ordered us to strengthen the garrison, and each gate must arrange more than 1,000 officers to personally guard the gate to prevent anyone from colluding with the anti-thieves outside the city, and be careful that they should cooperate with the outside world." ”

"The garrison general thought about it in time, then it will be hard for Jia Qianhu, we will withdraw first!"

The general flag didn't think much about it, and withdrew with his men.

Jia Peiguo immediately arranged for his subordinates to take over the city defense of the city gate, and took two followers to carry torches to the city wall.

When I came to the city wall, I saw that the soldiers guarding the city wall had changed shifts and replaced them with soldiers under my own command.

He called one of his cronies and asked, "How is it, there were no accidents during the handover, right?" ”

"Nope!"

"That's good, watch the time, and signal to the city!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers on the city wall stood on the edge of the battlements with torches, and their eyes looked down from time to time to the outside of the city.

At two o'clock, the footsteps of people were faintly heard outside the city, and the soldiers looked out by the faint light of the fire, only to hear the sound of many footsteps below, and at least thousands of people heard the sounds.

The soldiers hurriedly ran to the city tower to report Jia Peiguo.

As soon as Jia Peiguo heard that the rebels had arrived, he immediately said to his subordinates: "Tell the brothers to tie up white cloths, put down the drawbridge, and signal the rebels outside the city!" ”

"Yes!"

The soldier took out the prepared white cloth and wrapped it around his right arm, picked up the torch and stood on the wall battlement, and swung it vigorously three times.

Jia Peiguo had already come to the city at this time, and he ordered the soldiers to open the city gates.

Dozens of strong men went to open the city gate together, and the huge city gate was opened under the combined force of dozens of people.

After a short time the drawbridge was lowered, hundreds of people rushed through the drawbridge and rushed into the city gate.

Cao Yan, who was in the lead, looked around and asked Bao Shouzhong next to him, "Mr. Bao, is this the person from your battalion?" ”

"Exactly, General Cao, the men of our garrison camp all have white cloths wrapped around their right arms."

Cao Yan nodded and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Listen, everyone, the person with the white cloth wrapped around his right arm is his own person, and the others will not be killed!" ”

"Yes!"

Because Cao Yan made a mistake a few days ago, the vanguard of the siege tonight was fought by him in front of Mo Qian.

There is also a person in the army who grabbed the position of this vanguard with him, and he is a general of the same level as Cao Yan, named Gong Chengkang.

The two quarreled in the camp for a long time, and finally let Cao Yan get the position of pioneer by drawing lots.

When Cao Yan entered the city with 3,000 men and horses first and followed Jia Peiguo to attack the Sansi Yamen, Gong Chengkang scolded and scolded and entered the city with 10,000 soldiers and horses.

As soon as he entered Wuchang City, Gong Chengkang scolded: "Damn, the head work is gone, brothers, you have to give me a good face tonight, kill with me!" ”

Soon, the city suddenly burst into murder.

Many officers and soldiers were still asleep, and they didn't even understand what was going on, when they saw a group of rebels rushing in viciously.

When they saw the officers and soldiers, they killed them, and when they saw them, they chased them.

All of a sudden, the city was ablaze.

Inside the governor's yamen, Tang Hui had just been lying down with his concubine in his arms, when suddenly someone was frantically banging on the door outside.

"Master, it's not good, it's not good, it's not good, sir, the thieves have invaded the city.

When Tang Hui heard the news, he was immediately frightened and got up from the bed.

He clocked in the door and asked the house slave with a surprised face, "What?" When was this? ”

"Just now, a soldier came to report that the thieves had entered the city, and now the army is rushing towards this side!"

"The thieves have entered the city, how is this possible, how can they come in this big night?"

"The old slave heard that someone opened the city gate and let them in!"

Hearing this, Tang Hui was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

"Traitor!"

Tang Hui immediately thought of Cui Wenrong coming to ask for military pay during the day.

But at this time, he has no time to scold Cui Wenrong, the thieves have all entered the city, and there is still an internal response in the city, this Wuchang can no longer stay, and he must leave immediately.

Tang Hui immediately ordered the house slaves to clean up the softness, and he quickly got dressed and prepared to flee.

The Sansi Yamen is the largest building in the city, and it is extremely obvious.

Cao Yan's first target was the residence of the governor Tang Hui, the governor of the yamen.

Cao Yan ordered his 1,000 men to surround the governor's yamen, and then immediately launched a fierce attack on the governor's yamen.

The guards in the governor's yamen were too small compared to the rebels, and the gate was soon breached by the rebels.

As soon as Tang Hui was about to escape with the house slaves, he was confronted with Cao Yan who had invaded the mansion.

As soon as Cao Yan saw Tang Hui's appearance, he guessed that this old man was the governor.

"Dog officer, where to run!"

Tang Hui is sixty years old, where will it be Cao Yan's opponent, seeing the long knife in Cao Yan's hand, Tang Hui was so frightened that he retreated again and again, his heel did not stand firmly, he fell directly from the steps, the back of his head touched the stone slab on the ground, and he fell to death on the spot!

Cao Yan stepped forward to probe his qi with his fingers, and then he knew that Tang Hui was dead.

"Hmph, Dog Officer, you're cheap!"

After solving the governor's yamen, it's time for other yamen.

The rebels rushed to the residences and yamen of high-ranking officials in the city, and their goal was clear, that is, to give priority to the destruction of the command system of the officials and soldiers.

If an army has no chain of command, the end of this war is doomed.

The governor's yamen, the prefect's yamen, and the judge's yamen all commanded the yamen, and all the large and small yamen in Wuchang City were breached.

The chaotic battle lasted until dawn, and the corpses in the entire Wuchang City were everywhere.

By dawn in the morning, the rebels had finally cleared the city of resistance.

To say that it is resistance, in fact, it is completely a one-sided slaughter.

There is a general like Gao Huijie who is at the level of a garrison general, and the officers and soldiers have no resistance at all.

Gao Huijie rode a war horse and led a group of his men to shout in the city, calling on the officers and soldiers to surrender and avoid death.

Seeing that people like Gao Huijie had surrendered, everyone suddenly understood in their hearts who had let the thieves enter the city.

Several officers who were familiar with Gao Huijie even jumped to their feet and scolded their mothers, saying that Gao Huijie did not talk about brotherhood, and he was not brought on such a good thing as surrender.

Early the next morning, the banner of the righteous army was erected in Wuchang City, and Mo Qian led his subordinates to finally step into Wuchang City.

On both sides of Binyang Gate, in addition to the generals of the righteous army, there are also dozens of officers and generals.

There are thousands of these officers, including general garrison generals, dozens of large and small.

Seeing Mo Qian riding a high-headed horse into the city, the number one hero Gao Huijie was the first to kneel down and shouted: "Garrison General Gao Huijie, knock on the king!" ”

The rest of the people waited for Gao Huijie to see that this kid was so good, and they immediately scolded in their hearts.

But they didn't dare to scold it to their faces, so they could only kneel down.

Hearing Gao Huijie's name, Mo Qian stopped, jumped off the horse, walked up to Gao Huijie in person, took his hand and said: "This governor can capture Wuchang, General Gao is indispensable, and he should be credited!" ”

When Gao Huijie heard this, he was overjoyed at the moment.

However, he still didn't dare to show too much on his face, he half-bent over and said: "The king is like a god with soldiers, even if the last general does not surrender, it will only be a matter of time before the king captures Wuchang, and the last general is just the icing on the cake!" ”

"Hahaha, General Gao is too modest, General Gao can abandon the darkness and join the ranks of our righteous army, and also make this first contribution to our righteous army to win Wuchang, how can this governor forget, this governor will appoint you as the chief military officer now, and command all the previous officers and troops in Wuchang City, I hope that General Gao can make persistent efforts in the future and make further achievements!"

When Gao Huijie heard that Mo Qian was going to promote him to be the chief military officer, he immediately smiled in his heart.

He immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Mo Qian three times, "The last general is willing to dominate the grand plan of the lord, shatter his bones, smear his liver and brains, do his best, and die!" ”

Mo Qian helped him up and said, "I don't want you to die, you have to give me more victories, and make more achievements!" ”

Looking at Mo Qian's trusting eyes, Gao Huijie had something else to say.

With tears in his eyes, he swallowed and said: "Thank you for the importance of the lord, the lord, now the rest of the city has been cleared except for the Chu Wangfu, the last general asks for his life, I hope the lord can hand over the task of attacking the Chu Wangfu to the last general, and the last general is willing to personally carry the head of the Chu king to the lord!" ”

Hearing this, Mo Qian suddenly glanced at Gao Huijie again in his heart.

This person is not only on the road, but also knows how to accept the name, yes, he is a talent!
