Chapter 987: A Long-Brewing Action (8)
The five hundred elite guards at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty were all carefully selected, not only did they cultivate to a high level, but their identities and family histories were carefully verified, so there was no problem, after all, according to the regulations, they were the king's guards, and there could be no mistakes.
But Zhang Xian has not used them so far, not because he doesn't trust them, but because Zhang Xian left them behind to protect the harem ladies.
Zhang Xian is accustomed to low-key civilian clothes, and only brings a few personal guards, this time he went to Jianye City, because the stakes are very high, but he brought a higher and stronger Black Flag Army.
So the five hundred guards were left idle.
They basically don't have a big deal, there are two thousand tiger battalion elites in the harem, after all, there are not many people in the harem now, and most of the other places are female dependents, living in a large group of men, there are many inconveniences, Yuan Chu had to arrange them on the periphery, guarding the pass that can enter the harem.
Zhang Xian left with the Hu'er camp, and the harem was empty all of a sudden, and only then did Yuan Chu arrange five hundred guards into the palace.
What came up with something.
After Yuan Chu read the information given to him by Granny Yuan, he didn't take any action, and still arranged them to guard at several passes according to his custom.
Zhang Xian's harem is surrounded by many government offices in the middle, and there is only one exit from the Victory Square in front, but there are also vacancies in other places, which are left between the various government offices.
Five hundred guards have plugged these loopholes, and all the gaps are guarded by elite guards, and it is difficult to get close to the tall palace wall, unless all the guards there are quietly killed, but there are not only guards there, but also people from the Southern Army Protection Office.
100,000 southern troops were on duty in shifts around the palace of the former Chu king, plus the head catcher of the yamen, it can be said that the entire palace is impregnable.
However, in a strong fortress, as long as there are people, then there are loopholes.
The fortress is dead, but man is alive, with thoughts and desires.
The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials are in the west, and the two families occupy two palaces respectively, and they erect a high wall to separate them from the harem, but there is a vacant space between the two houses that is set aside, which can be regarded as a separation zone between the two families.
That place is a drainage ditch extending from the palace, there are many such drainage ditches, mainly used to shoot the rainwater in the palace, and the drainage ditches in other places happen to pass through an official office, only this has become the dividing line between the two families between the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials.
This is a wide open space, there are two rows of plane trees on both sides of the drainage ditch, the open space on both sides was originally a garden, but now it is idle, I don't know why, both families have not taken care of this place, so the weeds are overgrown, and the drainage ditch is not visible.
In the westernmost part of the drainage ditch is the original palace wall, because there is a drainage ditch, there is a hole in the palace wall, and the hole is drilled into two people without crowding.
Originally, there was an arm-thick iron rod that was erected horizontally into a fence, but now it is gone.
After Yuan Chu discovered this loophole, he saw a simple shed there, stationed forty capable guards, stationed in two shifts.
Not far from their flanks were two battalions of the other brothers of the Confederate army.
Because the founding time of the People's Republic of China is still short, the public security situation is not so satisfactory, so the 100,000 people of the southern army are stationed around the original Chu King City, standing in the protection of various official offices from being attacked by gangsters.
After all, the royal city is very large, and 100,000 people seem to be a lot, and they are stationed in two shifts, and once they are distributed, they can't see much.
Special treatment during special periods, the southern army temporarily maintained this state, and when everything is calmed down, in addition to the necessary defense, the task of maintaining law and order will be handed over to the local government office in Shangjing.
Inside the main army of the southern army and outside the main army of the northern army, Shangjing City is not counting local soldiers and horses, there are 200,000 regular troops stationed in the capital, but these can only deal with the attacks of those popular bandits and traitors, but they still can't stop those monks who come and go.
It can't be stopped, but it can play an early warning role, the northern and southern armies have thousands of fierce generals, and there are many great monks hiding in them, if a large number of monks attack, these fierce generals will show their skills.
There is no problem with the configuration, but the capital is too big, not to mention 200,000 horses, even if you put 200,000 in it, it is like a drift.
After all, Shangjing City is the political center of the Xia Kingdom, and there are several guards stationed around it, generally speaking, it is not an internal problem, even if there are millions of troops who want to attack the city of Shangjing, it is not easy.
As the saying goes, a fortress can stop a million heroes, but it can't stop a giant rat.
A fortress that a million people can't take down, if something goes wrong inside, it will be opened without a single soldier.
Zhang Xian did such a big game, the purpose was to dig out the inner ghosts and eliminate the rats that mixed in.
Yuan Chu quietly continued to inspect.
"It seems that we still do not have the trust of His Majesty, alas!"
When Yuan Chu withdrew five hundred guards, some generals complained and were reprimanded by Yuan Chu.
At this moment, Yuan Chu went to inspect other places, and a young general complained to a slightly older general beside him.
"Take your brethren with you, pick up your spirits and go on patrol, and don't talk too much. ”
The older general glared at him.
The young general sneered, but the older general didn't notice a cold glint in the man's eyes.
In the second half of the night, when people are the most sleepy, according to the normal rotation system, it is time for the next shift to rotate, but tonight, the Yuan commander ordered to be on duty until the hour, because the other group of people temporarily had a task and could not come back.
In this way, some people are happy and some people complain.
However, in general, the quality of the Yugoslav army is still good.
But after half a day and half a night, most people can't stand the sleepiness after a while.
At this moment, the southern army and the five hundred elite guards stationed around the royal city underwent subtle changes.
When the older general met the younger general again, the young general, as the older general turned around, drew his short sword, and slammed his mouth with one hand, and the short sword stabbed into his vest.
The older general never thought that his very best friend would stab him in the back, and he actually did a wrongful death.
The young general beckoned, and a few people dragged the body of the older general away and hid it.
Then he took over the older general's group.
The reason is simple.
It's all a battalion, and no one has anything to do, just do it for each other.
Little soldiers, take care of you with a point, just obey orders.
This kind of thing is quietly going on in other places as well.
There were two hundred elite guards in front of the palace gate of Victory Square, and they were controlled by the young general in a blink of an eye.
And then there's the place to the west that was shelved, and the twenty guards who had been stationed there disappeared somehow.
However, the simple room was still lit with lights and figures.
"Ling Qing, you take two people to guard this exit, if you encounter someone who is patrolling, find a way to perfunctory the past, as long as you hold on for an hour, great things will be done. ”
