Chapter 558 Rebels are definitely not willing to be buried with Yuwen
Chapter 558
Yang Qian couldn't help but feel a little sad when he looked at the affidavit on his desk and the densely covered fingerprints with hundreds of blood on it.
"Two generals, get up quickly. I have heard about the loyalty of General Youtunwei when I was in the Eastern Capital."
"General Dugu Sheng is brave and courageous. He died on the battlefield for the sake of His Majesty's safety."
"Unfortunately, Yang is far away in Dongdu and cannot go to the rescue in time to avenge His Majesty and a group of loyal ministers..."
"You are lurking in the Yuwen bandit army, enduring humiliation and heavy burdens, but you still do not forget your ambition to avenge General Dugu Sheng. I understand and admire you very much."
"Thank you, Marshal, for understanding our difficulties..." Liu Zhi and Dugu Kaiyuan both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Today at dusk, a group of Youwu Guards officers secretly contacted each other with the intention of ambushing Yuwen Zhiji. However, the thieves were very lucky...
Yu Wenhuaji conducted a large-scale search for Youwuwei officers in the city, and many innocent people died tragically at the hands of Yu Wenhuaji and his henchmen..."
"We sneaked out of Tancheng. Firstly, we came here to tell the commander that we were thieves, which was not our intention. Secondly, we hoped that the commander could help us kill the Yuwen clan."
"How many troops do you have?"
"There are still more than 3,000 soldiers in the Youwu Guards. As long as we raise the flag of righteousness, they will definitely follow us and kill the thieves."
"We can seize a gate for the commander, attack a city gate, and lead the army into the city to kill Yu Wenji."
"Seize the door... This is a way. What does the commander think?" Qin Qiong looked at Yang Qian and said.
"As long as the city gate is opened, our army, with the cavalry as the leader, will rush directly into Tancheng County Yamen and capture Yu Wenhuaji. In this way, there will be chaos in the city."
"That's inappropriate." Before Yang Qian could speak, Changsun Wuji beside him had already spoken.
"Second brother Qin, please don't forget that the reason why the commander-in-chief has not launched an attack is for the sake of the people in the city and for the safety of the empress."
"If we capture one of them, Yu Wenhua and his brothers will definitely know that their end has come. At that time, they will most likely take the empress to be buried with them."
Changsun Wuji's words made Qin Qiong touch his nose and retreat to where he was. This is also the reason why Yang Qian delayed launching an attack, just to safely save Queen Xiao's life.

Yang Qian frowned and thought hard for a long time. "General Liu, General Dugu, where is the empress being imprisoned, and how is the defense there?"
Liu Zhi was stunned and turned his attention to Dugu Kaiyuan. Dugu Kaiyuan said, "Commander, the empress is being held in a small house behind the county government office. The place is not big."
"There are only a few palace maids and a few eunuchs in the courtyard. By the way, Eunuch Wang Zhong is currently waiting by my side."
"Wang Zhong?" Yang Qian really didn't expect that this old acquaintance in the eunuch world was still alive and staying next to Empress Xiao.
"The outside of the small courtyard is guarded by two hundred confidants sent by the Yuwen clan. It is very strict and no one is allowed to approach."
"Outside the small courtyard, not inside the small courtyard?" Yang Qian's eyes lit up and he began to think about it.
"Exactly."
Seeing Yang Qian's appearance, Qin Qiong quickly came to his senses.
"Commander, do you want the soldiers of Youtun Guard to seize the small courtyard and protect the empress?"
"But in that case, once the soldiers of Youtun Guard take action, they will definitely be targeted by the public."
"It doesn't matter, let's start outside the city first." Yang Qian said with a smile. "We will start from all sides together, gather tens of thousands of thunderbolt chariots, and bombard the four gates of Tan City."
"This will definitely attract the rebels in the city. At this time, the Youtun guards will take the opportunity to attack and kill. After welcoming the empress Luanjia, they will choose a place to defend."
Changsun Wuji also proudly twirled his goatee and thought so.
"This is a good method. As a result, the Yuwen clan has lost its last support. Under internal and external attacks, I believe that most of the rebels will not be willing to be buried with the Yuwen clan."
Liu Zhi also agreed with this plan, but he still hesitated. "Commander, our right guard will take over the small courtyard, so there will be no problem."
"Just be afraid. If there are still Yuwen clan's dead soldiers hiding in the small courtyard, if they kidnap the empress in time, I will be afraid of them."
"It's okay, young master, please order me to sneak into Tancheng and protect the empress in the house." At this time, Master Duan, a high-ranking and righteous Peter Pan, stood up.
Yang Qian was relieved when he saw Master Duan asking for help. Master Duan had proven his ability countless times with his achievements.
"That's fine, you go, but you can bring more brothers over to prevent the guards from harming the empress before the soldiers of the guard on the right side of the child kill the guards."
"No!" Master Duan nodded respectfully, and then subconsciously reached out to his arms again, but luckily he restrained himself in the end.
Wait until the military meeting is over before chewing sesame seed cakes. Otherwise, eating during the military meeting will affect military discipline and military regulations, and you will be punished by standing in a military posture.
Yang Qian saw Liu Zhi looking at Master Duan with a puzzled look on his face and couldn't help but laugh.
"This is the guard next to me. He is best at coming and going quietly, so you can rest assured."
"Since the commander-in-chief can send such strong reinforcements, the general will be more confident." Liu Zhi and Dugu Kaiyuan couldn't help but be overjoyed and saluted Yang Qian respectfully.
"Okay, please ask the two generals to go back quickly. Master Duan, you can sneak back with them."
"How much time do you need to prepare?"
"Now most of our Youtunwei brothers have been driven off the city wall and gathered in the west area of the city, so it won't take much time.
In an hour and a half at most, we can gather at least one or two thousand brothers."
"It's less than two miles from there to the small courtyard where the empress is being held..."
"Okay, I will give you enough time to prepare. At dawn, which is the turn of Yin and Mao, I will issue the order to attack."
"The chaos outside the city will attract the attention of the rebels. I hope you can seize the opportunity and protect the queen."
"promise!"
Soon, Master Duan led more than ten of his companions and left the Jingnan Army camp away from Liu Zhi and Dugu.
At first, Gui Gui Chong quietly approached Tan City. When he got to the corner of the city wall where he had come down before, he quietly sent out a code signal.
A rope hung from the city. Liu Zhi glanced at the dozen or so helpers dressed in black behind him and decided to go to the city to say hello first.
"I'll go up first. When I get to the top of the city, I'll give you a sign and you can come up again."
"That's no problem." Master Duan chewed the pancake and nodded.
Then, Liu Zhi used his hands and feet to climb up the nearly two-foot-high city wall with gritted teeth.
The more than ten brothers in this position are all good brothers of Liu Zhi and brothers of Youtunwei.
"How is it?" the captain in the city couldn't help but asked in a low voice with some urgency.
"Yang Liushou agreed, wait a minute, I'll call for reinforcements to come up first..." Liu Zhi said a few words in a low voice, and raised his hand to make a few gestures toward the city.
After Dugu Kaiyuan saw it, he motioned to Master Duan. "Brother Duan, you and your brothers go up first, and I'll stop behind."
"Okay." Master Duan glanced at the top of the city, turned his head, and nodded to the brothers beside him.
Then, Dugu Kaiyuan's eyes suddenly widened...
