"That's good, as long as you can ensure the safety of your grandfather, the rest will be easy." Chen Su said softly.

The reason why they have been sneaking into the city for so long and not taking action for a long time is mainly because they take into account Li Wei's safety, after all, the whole city is guarded by Guo Ying with troops, and once the situation is discovered, they can quickly seal the city, and they can't get out at all.

But what he didn't expect was that Li Wei didn't know what plan to use to control the guards who were guarding him, with this advantage, Li Wei could easily leave the house without alarming Guo Ying, and the rest would be easy to do.

Ma Liusi said: "The teacher asked us to wait outside his mansion tonight, so that everyone can prepare!" ”

"Good!"

Chen Su, Xie Feihu and a few others agreed in a deep voice, and then dispersed to make arrangements.

Time passed slowly, the sky was getting dark, and Li Wei looked at the sky quietly in the mansion.

The sky was boundless, but when he arrived at the courtyard wall, he was truncated by life, he hadn't seen the world behind the courtyard wall for more than half a year, and today it was finally time to go out.

"Master Pony, it's getting late, go back to the house for dinner, right?" Chen Shan said behind him.

Li Wei shook his head slightly: "Bring out the food and eat it outside." ”

After being bored for a long time, he always yearns for the wide world outside, and he doesn't want to go back to the house today.

"Ugh." Chen Shan was stunned, then said yes, turned around and asked someone to arrange it.

After a while, the dishes were served, and Li Wei simply ate some food in the courtyard, and then quietly waited for the arrival of the child.

The sky is getting darker and darker, and the bustling Yangzhou City is gradually quieting down, but inside and outside Li Wei's mansion, there are many unknown people gathered, densely scattered around the mansion, waiting for the agreed time.

"Knock...... Knock knock! ”

The sound of beating the watch sounded, one fast and two slow, and finally it was time to play.

The time is late at night, the so-called three watches in the middle of the night, referring to this time, there was not so much rich nightlife in ancient times, at this time, everyone has basically slept, except for the night guards on the city wall and the watch, the others are basically doing bad things, Li Wei is one of them.

"It's time, open the door!"

Li Wei took Chen Shan and a team of guards to the gate of the courtyard and commanded softly.

"Yes!"

Chen Shan responded, and immediately stepped forward to let the door of the mansion be opened, and with a squeak, Li Wei stepped forward and walked out of the courtyard that had imprisoned him for more than half a year.

"Teacher!"

"Grandpa!"

Chen Su, Xie Feihu and others were already waiting outside, and when they saw him come out, they immediately saluted and saluted.

Nearly 1,000 people gathered outside the gate of the mansion, all dressed in black, like ghosts in the night.

Li Wei nodded lightly, and ordered in a deep voice: "Feihu, you take a team of night guards to sneak into Guo Ying's mansion first, and get rid of the night guards, Chen Su, you lead five hundred men and horses to completely surround the Wuding Marquis Mansion, and you must not let anyone in the mansion escape!" The rest of the people come with me! ”

"Yes!"

The crowd claimed to be commanded.

"Let's do it."

Li Wei stopped talking nonsense and ordered directly.

Chen Su and Xie Feihu immediately rushed to Guo Ying's mansion with people.

Guo Ying's mansion was not far from him, but in a quarter of an hour, everyone came here under the cover of night.

Chen Su took the rest of the people to surround this small Hou Mansion, and Xie Feihu led a team of people to climb over the wall by a human ladder.

A moment later, with a few inaudible muffled snorts, Xie Feihu and the others quietly eliminated the guards patrolling the night, and then opened the door of the Hou Mansion from the inside, and Li Wei immediately poured into the mansion with Chen Shan and the others.

With so many people coming in, it was inevitable that there would be some movement, and even if Li Wei was already very careful, he still quickly alarmed the guards in the mansion.

"There are assassins!"

A guard came out of the room and was shocked when he saw so many people in black and shouted.

Xie Feihu waved his hand lightly, and a team of people immediately rushed out behind him to kill him.

With the shouts of the guards, dozens of guards immediately rushed out of the various rooms, but when they saw the enemy in front of them who was almost ten times their size, they were dumbfounded!

What kind of assassin is this, this is clearly a mutiny!

"Take them all!" Li Wei shouted in a deep voice.

Xie Feihu immediately rushed forward with his people, and due to the huge gap in numbers, these guards were quickly subdued after only resisting for a moment.

Guo Ying, who was resting in the backyard, was also awakened when she heard the movement.

He had been battle-hardened, and he was not alarmed by a sudden attack, and quickly put on his clothes, grabbed his sword, and rushed out of the house.

"What's going on?"

Guo Ying shouted loudly while putting on his armor.

A servant ran over in a panic and shouted: "Master Hou, it's not good, out of nowhere, a team of soldiers and horses suddenly rushed into the mansion, and their large number of guards couldn't resist at all!" ”

"Send someone to the barracks immediately for help!" Guo Ying immediately decided.

"I can't get out, the Hou Mansion is already surrounded by them!"

When Guo Ying heard this, his heart suddenly sank.

The area of his mansion is not small, if you want to surround them, the other party's soldiers and horses are at least hundreds or more, when has there been such an army in the city?

After thinking for a moment, Guo Ying suddenly thought of a possibility: "It's Li Wei!" ”

In this Yangzhou city, if anyone has the ability to unknowingly make an army of hundreds of people, I am afraid that only this concubine who is imprisoned in the city.

Li Wei once had a heavy army, even now he is imprisoned, there are many cronies outside who are ready to move, when His Majesty asked him to come to Yangzhou, he had instructed him to be more vigilant, if Li Wei's old troops came to rescue him, he would join forces with Yi Zhenwei and Zhenhaiwei's soldiers and horses to surround and annihilate these people.

However, what he didn't expect was that Li Wei had already gotten so many soldiers and horses into the city at some point, and directly beheaded him.

"Everyone come with me and rush out with me!" Guo Ying shouted.

The top priority now is to break out of the siege as soon as possible, as long as he breaks out, and then leads the soldiers and horses in the military camp, he can easily wipe out Li Wei's soldiers and horses in the city.

The remaining dozen or so guards and servants immediately gathered when they heard his shout, and Guo Ying led these people to the back door first.

However, when he led someone to open the back door, he saw a night guard waiting for him.

"Marquis Wuding, don't come unharmed!" Chen Su said with a smile on his face.

"Chen Su!" Guo Ying stopped, stared at him and said in a deep voice, Chen Su has been working in Jinyiwei for so long, and most of the ministers in the court still know him.

Chen Su looked at him for a long time, and said with a smile: "It's just here, you better tie your hands and arrest it, so as not to hurt the harmony and embarrass the grandfather." ”

Guo Ying's face is ugly, Chen Su is notoriously ruthless, if he leads someone to rush, I'm afraid this guy will really kill him, and he won't show mercy because he is a marquis.

"Li Wei asked you to come?" Guo Ying asked.

Chen Su nodded lightly: "Yes, Grandpa brought someone in from the front yard, and you will be able to see him soon." ”

Hearing his words, Guo Ying's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

Li Wei has already come out of the mansion where he was imprisoned, and he has also organized this group of people, which is obviously to rebel!

When the two were confronting each other, Li Wei had already led people to the backyard, and soon found Guo Ying and others who were confronting Chen Su.

When Guo Ying saw him, he knew that there was no luck, so he could only shout at Li Weiwei with a stern and restrained voice: "Li Yuma, you led people to attack Hou at night, is this a rebellion?" ”

Li Wei came to him unhurriedly, and smiled indifferently: "Why not?" ”

Guo Ying's face turned pale, and he said in a deep voice: "You have to think clearly, Your Majesty is wise and martial today, you can't succeed, besides, where will you put Her Royal Highness the princess in such a rebellious act?" ”

Li Wei's eyes condensed slightly, he didn't care if he was unsuccessful, it was a big deal to retreat overseas, and it was not so easy for Zhu Yuanzhang to kill him, but Guo Ying's later words hit him in the sore spot, he didn't dare to face Anqing these days, it was for this reason.

"You don't have to worry about it, do you put down your weapon yourself now, or will I ask someone to help you?" Li Wei said indifferently.

Guo Ying stared at him and tightened the knife in his hand.

"Marquis Wuding, you were also an old subordinate to the teacher, why don't you lay down your arms and follow the teacher to achieve a great cause?" Xie Feihu muttered on the side.

Guo Ying snorted coldly: "I am the Marquis of Dingyuan, who is personally appointed by His Majesty, and I am deeply blessed by God, how can I do such a rebellious thing with you!" ”

Li Wei looked at him: "Since that's the case, then I'm not welcome." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand, and Chen Su and the others immediately stopped hesitating and rushed forward together.

"Kill!"

Guo Ying shouted loudly and swung his knife at Chen Su, who hurriedly dodged and dodged.

Although he was reused by Li Wei, he was only an ordinary person born as a craftsman, and he couldn't match Guo Ying, a fierce general who fought on the battlefield.

However, although he dodged away, more soldiers surrounded Guo Ying.

Guo Ying was still fierce under the siege of everyone, and the long knife swept away and forced the crowd to dare not get close, but his guards and domestic servants did not have such great ability, and fell to the ground one after another with screams, and soon he was the only one left in the field who was still resisting.

Li Wei looked at him expressionlessly, silent.

Although these night guards are not Guo Ying's opponents, they cooperate with each other after training, and as soon as someone is injured, they immediately retreat, and then a newcomer will take over.

Guo Ying fought hard, but he was still firmly trapped in the center and could not escape, and as time passed, his own injuries became more and more, and he was soon severely injured by the night guards.

Chen Su led someone to escort him to Li Wei, Guo Ying gasped for breath and glared at Li Wei with a fierce gaze.

Li Wei waved his hand indifferently and asked Chen Su to escort him down.

After the battle, the Hou Mansion finally returned to quiet, and Li Wei summoned Chen Shan to his front and instructed him to lead people to guard outside the Hou Mansion, while the night guards hid in the mansion.

After locking Guo Ying up, Chen Su found Li Wei again.

"Grandpa, our movement is a bit big, the people around must have heard the movement, do you see if it's ......" Chen Su said, scratching his neck.

They only controlled the Hou Mansion, and there were still tens of thousands of defenders in Yangzhou, if the news leaked out, as soon as the army arrived, they still couldn't fight.

"No way!" Li Wei's eyes narrowed and said sternly.

Chen Su's face changed slightly, and he quickly lowered his head.

Li Wei thought for a while and said, "In this way, let the night guards temporarily control the surrounding people, and after a while, I will control these troops and then release them." ”

"Yes!" Chen Su agreed, and then turned to leave.

As the night passed, and by the time the sun rose again, the mansion had changed owners, quietly.

But now that the crisis has not been resolved, as soon as dawn Li Wei gathered everyone again.

"This is an appointment document stamped with Guo Ying's official seal, Chen Shan, you take a few brothers to the barracks, just say that Guo Ying gave you a promotion, and then spread the theories I told you in the army." Li Wei took out a few appointment documents and said.

Guo Ying, as the chief general guarding Yangzhou, has the authority to appoint low-level military attachés, of course, high-level military attaches still have to report to the imperial court to make it easier.

But it doesn't matter, as long as these low-level military attaches are slowly replaced with educated people, those high-ranking military attaches will soon become bare-bones commanders, and then find another opportunity to summon them in the name of Guo Ying to solve them.

"Yes!" Chen Shan took the paperwork and turned to leave.

After Chen Shan left, Li Wei asked Chen Su and others about the situation outside.

During this time, although he and Ma Liusi exchanged a lot of information through secret means, it was very inconvenient after all, and many things were unknown.

"After we fled, we first went to the Wa Kingdom to get in touch with Lu Tang, and the imperial court sent someone to take over the army stationed in Wa, but was detained by Lu Tang, and then we took some people to sneak into Yangzhou quietly in order to rescue you, and others hid overseas."

Li Wei nodded lightly and asked again, "Abu, are they okay?" ”

Chen Su's face was embarrassed when he heard this, but Xie Feihu took over and replied: "After Abu learned that his master and mother were killed, he immediately brought those guards back to attack the Jingshi, but he was stopped by Wang Dazhi and Zhang Tie, and now the three thousand guards are in their hands for the time being. ”

Li Wei sighed softly when he heard this, and said, "Okay, I know." ”

Abu is Xiaoqing's elder brother, knowing that her death is naturally desperate, Wang Dazhi and Zhang Tie are right to stop them, under the circumstances at that time, to come back is to send them to death.

"In this way, you immediately send a message to Lu Hong and them, ask them to transfer the water master and the Shenji battalion back, and let Lu Tang and them be responsible for receiving them." Li Wei said.

"Yes!" Xie Feihu responded.

Now that it is time for the Ming card, the sailor and the Shenji battalion have to be transferred back, these are his main forces, and the other is the Japanese army led by Lu Tang.

These troops combined were 70,000 or 80,000 men, and they were equipped with advanced firearms, which was a huge force.

It's just that now there is a problem, and that is ammunition.

The Ordnance Bureau is in the Beijing Division, so it is naturally impossible to provide them with ammunition anymore, and if the supply is cut off, his army will not be able to survive a few battles.

After thinking about it, Li Wei asked Chen Su, "Is there a way for the Night Guards to get in touch with the Ordnance Bureau now?" ”

Chen Su frowned and thought for a while, and said, "We still have some manpower in the Beijing Division, but now that the Ordnance Bureau is tightly sealed by the personal guards, I am afraid it will be difficult to get in touch with the people in it!" ”

"If it's difficult, you have to try, think of a way!" Li Wei said in a deep voice.

The problem of ammunition must be solved, if it is too time-consuming to build another Armaments Bureau by yourself, it is simply too late, especially those smokeless gunpowder and the like, which require a lot of equipment to manufacture, and it is better to be able to smuggle out the contents of the Armaments Bureau.

"Yes!"

Chen Su agreed. (End of chapter)
