Chapter 665: The War in the Imperial Capital (9)
The night is the most haode cover, the news of Liu Fan's injury spread throughout the imperial capital like wings, and Liu Fan did not plan to block the news, in Bai Qi's words, this is the best time to eradicate dissidents. The calm emperor didn't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at the palace and Liu Fan's life. Jing Ke is still like Liu Fan's invisible man, no one knows that he has appeared in the imperial capital, he is the killer weapon that Bai Qi dares to reveal the news, and he is also the most powerful chess piece. However, the news of the Hades princess Shi Julan's appearance in the imperial capital has made many people think differently, and the news of Liu Fan's marriage to the Hades Sect has now spread to every corner of the empire.
There was a deathly silence under the black palace, and the guards patrolling back and forth looked around vigilantly from time to time. Since he knew about the existence of the ground net, the guards who still arrived outside the city suddenly made the entire imperial capital nervous. The gates of the Imperial Capital have been strictly sealed, and now no one wants to go out of here, not even a single fly to fly in through the gates of the Imperial Capital. All the grain and grass warehouses have been opened to supply the grain and grass consumption in the city, the population of the imperial capital is large, but the richness of the empire is definitely not boastful, as the capital of the empire, whether it is the reserve of grain and grass or the reserve of weapons, its number is absolutely incalculable.
The army in the Imperial Capital City plus the young and strong recruited, the Imperial Capital now has nearly three million troops, and it cannot but be said that it is a terrifying number for a city to have so many troops. Prior to this, the empire had only 28 million troops at its peak, and most of them were stationed on the frontier, with only six permanent Praetorian Guards in the imperial capital. As well as the soldiers and horses of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, there are also the Imperial Dragoons and Jin Wuwei. And now, the strength of the imperial capital alone has exceeded one-fifth of the total strength of the empire.
But that's just the numbers. Numbers sometimes don't mean anything. Just like the current imperial capital, although it has five million troops and absolutely strong generals. But that doesn't mean anything. As Liu Fan often said to his subordinates, our Shenwu Army takes the elite route, all the soldiers and generals are the elite of the absolute elite, and most of the troops in the imperial capital are temporarily recruited young and strong, and there is no combat effectiveness at all. Bai Qi only said one sentence on this issue, that is, to grow up in battle, to be tempered in battle, only the army that has killed people and seen blood is the most elite army. Such an army can be called an elite soldier.
The patrolling guards looked around vigilantly, the deployment of the imperial capital had already involved all aspects, and the army of King Qin transferred from all over the country was working day and night, even the nearest Yue Fei headquarters to the imperial capital would take three days to arrive. And Zhou Yu's headquarters in Jingzhou marched along the waterway, although the departure time was later than that of Yue Fei's headquarters, but there was not much difference in time, and according to the army, it was at most a day late. This made the army in the city more or less relieved, fortunately, Yue Fei's troops with their combat strength and their strength would be able to arrive in three days, otherwise it would be a joke for the huge city of the imperial capital to rely on these five million troops to defend and garrison. After all, most of them had never seen blood.
"Overseer, urgent information. "The headquarters of the East Factory. Wei Zhongxian has always been sitting here, just as Liu Fan guessed, as long as there are sufficient interests, these people will naturally understand their position. After Zhao Gao and Wei Zhongxian spread the news, they urgently dispatched the elite Liliang to eliminate some of the traitors, and most of them knew their position very well. The normal operation of the intelligence system of Dongchang and Heibingtai greatly relieved Liu Fan, who was in the imperial capital and lacked an intelligence system. The quicksand in the dark night is strong, but after all, the foundation in the imperial capital is not deep. Although the Black Ice Terrace and the East Factory were established late, there is a net standing behind them, and the intelligence network is definitely not comparable to the quicksand in the dark night.
"Say it. Wei Zhongxian rubbed his aching head and said to the intelligence officers under his command, he had to face a large number of enemies every day in the past few days. Zhao Gao and Wei Zhongxian also followed the team under their command everywhere to fight, a large number of battles consumed a lot of Wei Zhongxian's liliang, today is Wei Zhongxian's rare rest and construction, just lie down for a while The intelligence officers under his command came to send intelligence, although Wei Zhongxian was very tired, but he still forced himself to cheer up.
The intelligence officer was stunned when he saw Wei Zhongxian's face, he obviously didn't expect Wei Zhongxian to be so tired. He is an old man who has been following Wei Zhongxian, in addition to Wei Zhong and Wei Ming, he can also be said to be Wei Zhongxian's henchmen, he has never seen Wei Zhongxian look like this. The intelligence officer immediately stepped forward, walked to Wei Zhongxian's side, and whispered to Wei Zhongxian: "Father-in-law, the latest information, Zhang Bai has bribed several officials of the Ministry of War and all the horse bandits and bandits in Sizhou, and wants to open the water gate to access the army outside the city to enter the imperial capital. ”
"What about the personnel list?" Wei Zhongxian's eyes flashed with a gleam, he had always been in charge of dealing with the affairs of the officials in the imperial capital, once there were mutinous personnel among the officials, it was obvious that this time his merits would shrink in his eyes. As soon as he heard that an official was going to defect, Wei Zhongxian suddenly became nervous. Wei Zhongxian can endure anything, but he can't accept the rebellion of these officials, for Wei Zhongxian, the rebellion is a naked face, and for Wei Zhongxian, a person with a good face, this kind of rebellion is absolutely intolerable. This is also the reason why the fate of the traitors in Weishenme East Factory is much worse than that of Heibing Terrace, and for Wei Zhongxian, the rebellion has no value of survival.
"Here's the list. The intelligence officer took out a list from his bosom and slowly sent it to Wei Zhongxian. Wei Zhongxian opened his closed eyes and glanced at the intelligence officer, which immediately made the intelligence officer's spirit stunned, he obviously had never seen Wei Zhongxian's eyes like this.
"You've been following me for three years, aren't you?"
"Yes, I have been following my father-in-law for three years. The intelligence officer was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied in a low voice.
"It's been three years, and Wei Zhong has only followed him for two and a half years. Wei Zhongxian's voice was very low, but the intelligence officer heard something different from it, Wei Zhongxian still closed his eyes slightly and said to the intelligence officer: "It's been three years, and Wei Zhong is now the deputy governor of Dongchang." You're still a stopper. Haven't you thought about the reason?"
"I understand what's wrong. Humble duty will do it. The intelligence officer wasn't stupid either, of course he understood what Wei Zhongxian meant. It's been three years, and he is still an intelligence officer, but it doesn't mean that he is not smart, otherwise he wouldn't have gone out to do errands after Wei Zhong and Wei Ming both went out, and it was his turn to come over and report to Wei Zhongxian, this was originally an opportunity, an opportunity given to him by Wei Zhong and Wei Ming.
"Go ahead. There are some things to think about yourself, and now there are a lot of people dying in Dongchang, and I don't want to raise a group of stupid people. Wei Zhongxian waved his hand, and the intelligence officer's face showed a hint of joy, and he immediately retreated, and soon the East Factory was lively, and thousands of fans of the East Factory who were on standby in the East Factory rushed out of the gate of the East Factory and walked towards all places. As soon as these people went out, they immediately brought a more tense atmosphere to Dijing, and everyone was nervous to look at the fans who rushed out of the gate, this time the fans of the East Factory went out and didn't know how many people were going to die under their knives.
In the dark night, the fans of the East Factory were moving everywhere, and countless fans just followed their generals to the place where the officials were. The general who led the team was An Tong, the big stall leader of the East Factory. An Tong's face was excited, and it was obvious that Wei Zhongxian's words today made his heart very excited. What does Wei Zhongxian's words mean, needless to say, that is, if he does this thing well, he can soar, if he doesn't do it well, he will always be the big stall of the East Factory.
"Head, we only have more than 2,000 people, and the newspaper shows that each of these officials has more than 2,000 guards, and there are people who are collecting nets to help them, do we want to ask for support?" A thousand households from Dongchang walked to An Tong's side and said to An Tong worriedly, now they are also in the news, as long as there is a slight movement, they are very nervous.
An Tong's face changed when the guard said this. An Tong really didn't think of this problem, and after secretly scolding himself for being stupid, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, if it wasn't for his subordinates to remind him, he really made a big mistake. You must know that although this is an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, it is also a crisis, if he can't handle this matter and makes the imperial capital chaotic, then he has a drama to watch. Although Wei Zhongxian treats his own people very well, he will never be stingy with his ruthlessness when dealing with useless wastes and traitors.
"Head, this is the territory of the Guards, and General Li Siye is near here, do we want to find General Li for support?" The Qianhu suggested to An Tong, and now the continuous fighting has also made these fans of Dongchang tired. If it weren't for Dongchang and Liu Fan constantly rewarding and supporting these people, these Dongchang fans would obviously not be able to stand this heavy pressure. However, this Qianhu also kept an eye on it, although Li Siye's intervention will take away part of the credit, but this time their credit will definitely not be less, and it is the most important thing to be able to survive and get the reward.
"Okay, you go to Li Siye now, and tell him to rush here immediately with five thousand elites, and you continue to monitor here, and report as soon as there is any movement. You, continue to look for the personnel in the vicinity of the East Factory, if you encounter the Black Ice Terrace, the Dragoon and the people of the Jin Wuwei will immediately call them to support, this time there must be no mistakes. The proposal of the thousand households suddenly made An Tong understand what is the most important thing now, if this matter fails, it is also a luxury for him An Tong to be able to live in peace.
In the night, five thousand elite elites lined up in a neat line, and under the leadership of the generals, they followed Li Siye to the vicinity of the residences of these officials and hid themselves. Li Siye was about to give his army an act at night, but he didn't expect the people from Dongchang to find him. As soon as Li Siye heard the other party's intention, he didn't have time to take care of his army at this time, so he immediately ordered five thousand of the most elite soldiers and horses to rush here.
Li Siye was heavily armoured, holding a huge Mo knife in his hand, and saw An Tong, who was anxiously waiting. When An Tong saw Li Siye coming, the anxious look on his face suddenly eased a lot, and he immediately hurried to meet him. An Tong greeted him and took the lead in saluting Li Siye and said, "Humble An Tong knocks on General Li." ”
"General An doesn't need to be so polite, we still need to work together in this matter, hmph, I didn't expect these people to dare to hook up with Zhang Bai's traitor behind the back of the lord. "Li Siye is also very depressed now, since he followed Liu Fan to the imperial capital, he was sent by Liu Fan to rectify the army, and there is nothing else to do except for one or two small battles. Missing a few large-scale battles can be said to be very depressed Li Siye, no battle for Li Siye, a battle maniac, can not help but say that it is more uncomfortable than death.
An Tong nodded heavily and said: "General Li, this time you and I still need to work together, the other party has a lot of elite elite personnel combat effectiveness, five thousand elite soldiers and horses plus thousands of sons in my hands, this time we must do the whole thing beautifully." ”
"Don't worry, my hundreds of thousands of troops have been explained to my lieutenant general before I came, and if any situation arises here, they will immediately rush here with a large army to support. Li Siye frowned and said, Li Siye didn't have much hatred for these officials, but felt that he had to thank them, otherwise he wouldn't have the opportunity to play his own today. Li Siye came with 5,000 elite people, and he may not have the mind to fight well.
An Tong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he heard Li Siye's words, but fortunately, Li Siye agreed to cooperate and didn't blame himself for not notifying him here. An Tong immediately nodded and said to Li Siye: "In this case, we will act immediately now, once these people are ready, disturbing the Dijing brothers, my head will not be saved." ”
"Brother, don't worry, leave this matter to me, it will definitely be done beautifully, and I will never let go of a traitor. "Li Siye's mood is very good, is there a chance to fight with these traitors, it naturally makes Li Siye's mood very good.
"Disperse at once, and surround me all around, and let no one escape. With a wave of Li Siye's big hand, the soldiers under his command immediately agreed, and immediately followed their respective generals towards their respective goals. The fans of Dongchang also followed the guards under the command of An Tong and dared to go everywhere, and this time they must eradicate all the enemies. (To be continued......)
