Chapter 476: Ambush
The gates were wide open.
Zhao Lanjiang rode forward, and Ye Erlang and Li Bufan led 4,000 soldiers and horses into the city slowly.
The gatekeeper at the city gate saw Zhao Lanjiang and his face was full of excitement.
In the past few days, Zhao Lanjiang stepped forward to call for battle, Li Changzheng closed the city and did not come out, these gatekeepers saw in their eyes, they were waiting for Zhao Lanjiang to enter the city, and they even thought that if Zhao Lanjiang attacked the city, how would they choose?
Abandoning the city? That's dereliction of duty.
Resistance is not intended.
However, Zhao did not put them in a dilemma. When the defenders in the rest of the places heard the news that Zhao was blocking the river and entering the city, they gathered at the city gate.
Chang Sheng, the gatekeeper who opened the city gate, saw Zhao Lanjiang and said loudly, "Yinyang, draw your sword!"
Swish!
Bai Ma Yicong drew his sword one after another, pointed diagonally at the sky, and then stood it in front of his chest, his movements were neat and uniform, as if he had practiced many times.
It was the highest sword salute of the military in Hidden Sun City.
Just like two years ago, they used this respect to welcome the return of this Hidden Sun hero.
Zhao Lanjiang turned over and dismounted, and came to everyone.
He said loudly, "The world is in turmoil, all parties in the Central Plains are fighting, I am trapped in the Central Plains, and I can't get back, resulting in Yinyang City being taken advantage of by villains, and thousands of brothers are dead, which is Zhao Lanjiang's fault." Countless family members have been displaced, this is Zhao Lanjiang's fault!"
"Today, I'm back. I, Zhao Lanjiang, promised the people of Yinyang that from now on, Yinyang will no longer be a vassal of others, and from now on, Yinyang will no longer fight for others. From then on, Yinyang only fought for our Yinyang. Zhao Lanjiang is willing to live and die with Yinyang with his life. ”
said something that made everyone's blood boil.
"Hidden Sun, draw your sword!"
"Hidden Sun, long live!"
The sound came out in waves.
The entire Hidden Sun City was a sensation, and if it weren't for the curfew, the people would have already run to the streets to celebrate.
Shopkeeper Xu led people to the city gate, he had already hung a color, and said: "The city lord's mansion has been taken, the ghost fan tower has been destroyed, only a small number of remnants have escaped, and now they are wanted all over the city." ”
Zhao Lanjiang held his hand, looked serious, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xu." ”
"All for the sake of the city lord. ”
Zhao Lanjiang said, "No, for Yinyang!"
Immediately, Zhao Lanjiang issued several orders, one is to announce his return to the whole city, the second is to arrest the rebels of Guifan Lou and welcome the people to report, the third is to control the security of Yinyang to prevent those with bad intentions from taking the opportunity to cause chaos, and finally let Ye Erlang and Li Bufan rescue Li Chenglong and Li Xunbao, so as to control the military power of the White Horse Yicong.
Two hours later, without spending a single soldier, Zhao Lanjiang recaptured Yinyang City.
Castle Lord's Mansion.
Ye Erlang, Xu Yang, Chai Gongwang, Li Bufan, Li Chenglong, and Li Xunbao were in the study, holding a meeting with Zhao Lanjiang.
Zhao Lanjiang looked at Chai Gong and said, "In the past two months, Mr. Chai has been wronged. ”
Chai Gongwang felt that his chest was a little blocked, as if there was a surge of blood surging up, and he had already passed the age of not being confused, as if he had regained the pride of twenty years ago.
In the past two months, he has endured humiliation and burden, the people are incomprehensible, his colleagues despise him, and he has even received death threats, and the grievances he has received can only be swallowed in his stomach, and he has tried his best to maintain the normal operation of Hidden Yang City.
When Zhao Lanjiang left, he promised Zhao Lanjiang that he would not let Yinyang make trouble. Now that Zhao Lanjiang is back, he feels that he has not done enough, "Gongwang is ashamed!"
Zhao Lanjiang stood in front of him and bowed deeply.
"City Lord, I can't help it!"
Shopkeeper Xu said: "You can afford it." ”
This made Chai Gongwang's eyes a little moist, and he choked for a while. He is just a landed talent, he does not seek to be full of economy, only learns the way to govern the country and the country, but the cruelty of reality and the blows again and again made him give up his belief and come to Yinyang, relying on a little cleverness to make a living, collecting money, until Zhao Lanjiang arrived, regardless of the previous suspicions, entrusted with a heavy responsibility, so that he had the opportunity to realize his original ambitions.
Zhao Lanjiang looked around and asked, "Where is Qingluan?"
Shopkeeper Xu hesitated for a moment and said, "She doesn't want to see you." ”
It was she who risked her life to pass the news of the Yinyang Great Array to Zhao Lanjiang, and Zhao Lanjiang came up with the trick of diverting the tiger from the mountain, of course, with the cooperation of Chai Gongwang and others, and now that she has recaptured Yinyang City, Qingluan is hiding.
This made Zhao Lanjiang feel bad.
However, the top priority now is to regain control of the Hidden Sun Array. The Lord's Mansion regained control of the city.
Zhao Lanjiang, Xu Shopkeeper, and Li Bufan came to the Ghost Fan Building.
The Hidden Sun Array, six dark dark irons emitted a strange light, sealing the powerful power under the Hidden Sun.
Eighteen array slaves, bleeding from seven orifices, have been dead for a long time.
The Hidden Sun Great Array had long been out of their control. Zhao Lanjiang held the golden knife in his hand and wanted to awaken the power of the Hidden Sun Array, but found that this seal had been manipulated and was not under his control at all.
He sensed danger.
If the Hidden Sun Array cannot be lifted, this city will be built on top of a powder keg, and it will be in danger of collapse at any time.
Li Changzheng!
For example, to kill Li Changzheng.
Shopkeeper Xu said, "Li Changzheng should be in Stone City now, even if we block the news, I believe it won't be long before we find out the problem here." ”
Before finding a way to recapture the Hidden Sun Great Array, Li Changzheng must not be allowed to return here, otherwise he will be so angry that he may not be able to do something.
Zhao Lanjiang decided to take the initiative.
"Please Chai Gongwang and General Li Chenglong to preside over the internal affairs of the city and the second affairs of the army, close the city gate, and never let anyone in before I return." ”
......
In Stone Town, a grand welcome ceremony is underway.
Li Changzheng eats this set of things that are sent from afar and have a sense of ceremony, Chu Xiang is miserable in his heart, and the task given to him by Zhao Lanjiang is to drag Li Changzheng, so he uses all his skills to deal with Li Changzheng.
After a set of ceremonies, they came to the office and began to talk about business.
Li Changzheng said, "City Lord Chu, how did you think about the matter a few days ago?"
Chu Xiang said, "I am willing to serve the city lord, but as mentioned in the last letter, some details are slightly doubtful below, and I ask the city lord to answer your questions." ”
Li Changzheng said, "The letter makes it very clear, as long as you send troops to attack Zhao Lanjiang, the three cities of Kangju, Longquan, and Dayi will all be under your stone city." With these four cities, within five years, when you are getting full-fledged, send troops to Xichu, and regain your imperial power, it is just around the corner. ”
But he said in his heart, you are so pushing, you have to talk to you in person, and when you finish cleaning up Zhao Lanjiang, you will be the first to clean you up.
Chu Xiang asked again: "Are the four cities completely under my jurisdiction, or do you still have to pay taxes to Yinyang?"
Li Changzheng said, "Nominally, you still have to accept the unified leadership of Yinyang, except for the management of Yinyang in foreign countries and wars, the rest of the economy is all independent by you." Li has clear grievances, and he will take care of you more when formulating policies. ”
Chu Xiang thanked again and again.
"As far as I know, the other three cities have not yet recognized the city lord, and I'm afraid that my takeover is a bit unjust. ”
Li Changzheng snorted coldly, "When I finish cleaning up Zhao Lanjiang, I will come to the door one by one and settle this account with them." Those who follow me will prostitute, and those who oppose me will prosper, and I will make them pay a heavy price. Chu Xiang expressed his resolute support for Li Changzheng.
"When are you going to send troops?"
Chu Xiang said, "Early tomorrow morning, I will count the soldiers and horses, as fast as ten days, slow as half a month, and I will definitely send troops." ”
Li Changzheng said, "No, send troops within three days." ”
"Our Western Chu soldiers haven't fought for more than half a year, and they have only been farming, so it will take a while to prepare. I'm afraid they won't be able to handle their weapons. ”
Li Changzheng said, "You, the city lord, let me down a little." ”
When Chu Xiang heard this, his face turned pale with fright, and he promised: "City Lord, please rest assured, within three days, I will definitely send troops." ”
"Are there any other difficulties?"
"If there is difficulty, I will also send troops, and if there is no difficulty, I will also send troops if I create difficulties, since I promised the city lord, I will definitely go to the soup and fire!"
Li Changzheng saw that his goal had been achieved, and seeing that it was already the second half of the night, he got up and prepared to return to Yinyang. At this moment, I don't know whether intentionally or unintentionally, a charming woman with a bewitching figure wearing a light gauze thin skirt passed in front of them.
Li Changzheng glanced at Chu Xiang, "You kid is not shallow!"
Chu Xiang laughed, "The city lord works all day long, and he has every opportunity, this woman is prepared for the city lord and relieved the city lord's fatigue." ”
Li Changzheng waved his hand, "Now is an extraordinary time, where is the effort to fiddle with these." He looked at the woman again and asked, "What's your name?"
"The maid's surname is Li, and her name is Wan Ji. ”
Li Changzheng nodded, "Li Wanji, I remember." ”
After struggling for a long time and preparing to leave, Chu Xiang was sent to the door, and Li Changzheng suddenly asked, "What time is it?"
"It's ugly. ”
"There's still a little time until dawn, and I can stay a little longer. After that, with his right hand, he hugged Li Wanji in his arms, and Xiaoman's waist was full and could be held, which felt comfortable.
It can't be cheap, Don disrespects this kid.
He thought to himself and led the woman into the bedroom.
Chu Xiang called out to Feng Chitose and asked, "What's wrong?"
Feng Chitose said in a low voice, "I got news from the Hidden Sun, Zhao ......"
Before he finished speaking, Li Changzheng had already walked out of the room, Feng Chitose saw this, and hurriedly closed his mouth, Li Changzheng looked regretful, "Hey, I'm old." ”
Chu Xiang said, "The city lord is not old, this is called simple and efficient. ”
When Li Changzheng heard this, he laughed, "Well said!" and said in a low voice, "Keep this little goblin for me, and come back next time." ”
Chu Xiang said, "When you get rid of the Zhao thief, I'll send her over to you." ”
Li Changzheng was very satisfied, "I didn't expect that you kid is quite good at doing things." If we had cooperated like this earlier, we wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble. ”
Gradually, the rooster crows, and it is not early.
I have to rush back, if Zhao Lanjiang finds out that he is not in the city and forcibly attacks the city, it will not be good.
Li Changzheng and Li Lingcai left Stone Town.
Two fast horses, rushing overnight, ran in the direction of Hidden Yang City.
Bang bang!
The war horse tripped over the horse rope, and the whole body rolled backwards, Li Changzheng and Li Lingcai saw this, and they rolled one by one and fell to the ground.
The two horses were frightened and fled into the distance.
Worst!
Li Lingcai said, "Before dawn, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back." ”
At this moment, torches suddenly lit up all around.
Hundreds of white horse Yi from the elite came out from all directions and surrounded the two of them in the center.
Zhao Lanjiang held a golden knife and stopped in front of them.
"Li Changzheng, I've been waiting for this day for a long time. ”
