"Hermit House? The former residence of King Yong when he was a boy?" Liu Chenggui was stunned at first, then laughed and pawed, "Burn it well, burn it well, let King Yong know that there are always many loyal people in Bianliang!"
In the past, when the troops of the Qin State swept across the world, there was still Jing Ke who was not afraid of life and death and entered the palace with a dagger to assassinate him. In the past, when Han Lei was the prime minister of the country, there was still Nie Zheng who carried an ax from the front door of his house to the main hall and killed him on his seat.
superior.
Tonight, King Yong took advantage of the official conquest and suddenly launched an attack in Bianliang City. The officials and the people were unable to resist, but Han Qing burned down his house. How could people not feel agitated?
"I'm afraid this fire was not set for the sake of the officials?" Yang Xu whispered in his heart, but he said something else, "Han Jiajun burned down King Yong's house, which indeed severely weakened the morale of the rebels. But he
After all, I am alone, and I am afraid it will be difficult to escape once this fire is lit."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Chenggui had already decisively ordered, "Come here, take my sword and go to Xihua Gate to deliver the order. If you see the Han Embassy being chased by the rebels, find a way to bring him into the imperial city immediately!"
"Follow your orders!" Two fully armed guards stepped forward quickly and took his sword. Then, they turned around and ran towards Xihua Gate. (Note: Guards, a eunuch position in the Song Dynasty. Responsible for managing the palace guards and eunuchs.
.)
After frowning and thinking for a while, Liu Chenggui whispered to Yang Xu, "You don't have to go to Jinshui River. Go directly to Xihua Gate. The boys over there may not recognize Han Jiajun. In addition, after bringing him into the city,
, you can also let the boys cover you and sneak out in the chaos!"
"Yes!" Yang Xu was originally worried about Han Qing's safety, so he let go of Liu Chenggui's arm and ran towards Xihua Gate.
The distance between Xihua Gate and Yuehua Gate was only five to six hundred steps. He was a martial arts practitioner, and his legs and feet were nimble. It only took him seventy or eighty breaths to rush to the city gate.
He held the battlements with his hands and looked down, only to see that half of the alley had been burned red by the flames. However, there was not a single person putting out the fire. Instead, there were two small teams, holding weapons under the firelight, fighting hard.
point.
"Have you ever seen Judge Han? Who is fighting outside?" Yang Xu was worried. He grabbed a eunuch who was watching the battle on the top of the city and asked in a low voice.
"It was Zhang Yaban who led the left wing battalion of the Imperial City Division to fight out to meet Judge Han. Judge Han just led the Divine Guards into King Yong's courtyard and set fire to everything. Then he came again.
A group of divine guards wanted to cut off his retreat. Just as Zhang's escort arrived under orders, he opened the city gate and led his brothers to fight out." The eunuch spoke eloquently, and with a few words, Yang Xu suddenly understood.
Han Qing, in the name of Chu Gou's cronies, dispatched forty Divine Guard soldiers from Yuehua Gate to arrest Xi Zuo. He must have targeted the Hermitage.
Although the soldiers of the Divine Guards were incompetent and followed Han Qing, they were able to catch the guards of Prince Yong's Mansion and the Red Lotus cultists in the hermitage by surprise.
Therefore, the fire was quickly lit in the hermitage.
But deception tactics can only be used temporarily, but they cannot be used for a long time.
As long as someone in the hermitage announces the name of King Yong, or shows a similar silver Sansheng tablet, the soldiers of the Divine Guard will definitely realize that they have been fooled.
By then, even if they don't have the courage to launch a counterattack against Han Qing on the spot, they will immediately disperse.
In Bianliang City, there must be more than one official who knows that the Hermit House is the annex of King Yong. If there are other generals of the Divine Guard nearby who hear that the Hermit House is on fire, they will lead their brothers to come to the rescue no matter what.
Fortunately, everyone in the inner team knew that Liu Chenggui responded quickly and promptly sent two cronies to escort him. Otherwise, even if Han Qing had three heads and six arms, he would have been blocked in the hermitage and chopped into pieces!
Thinking that Han Qing was going alone and had to take Ye Qinglian with him who might have difficulty moving, Yang Xu suddenly became anxious. He pulled the eunuch hard again and ordered in a low voice, "Send some more brothers to go out of the city with me to avoid delays.
If you wait too long, more rebels will come and kill you!"
"No, there's no one left. Zhang Yaban took a whole battalion of guards out, and now there are only two of them left at Xihua Gate. If any rebels take the opportunity to attack, they won't be able to stand in the watchtower!"
The eunuch shivered and refused nervously.
"Then find a rope and let me down." Yang Xu glanced around and knew that what this person said was the truth. Without thinking, he continued to give orders. Then, he faced all the guards on the top of the city, and his voice
He suddenly turned up and said, "Brother, please lend me a spear and a horned bow. Yang Jiming will return you a good horse from Liaodong!"
"Use mine, Brother Ji Ming!"
"Use mine, don't ask for a loan!"
Several young guards came forward enthusiastically and handed over the spears, horn bows, quivers and other items in their hands.
"Thank you all brothers, let's meet in Fan Lou after the rebels are suppressed!" Yang Xu first saluted everyone, then took the spear and carried the horn bow and feather arrows as quickly as possible.
The eunuch didn't have the guts to go out to fight with him, but his hands and feet were extremely agile. He quickly handed over an iron chain that was originally used to control the spike racket.
Yang Xu held a gun in his left hand and held the iron chain with his right hand, and jumped off the city wall. The guards grabbed the pulley that controlled the iron chain and slowly lowered him down. In the blink of an eye, he was safely placed outside the city.
On the streets outside Xihuamen City, five hundred palace guards, led by Zhang Yaban, were engaged in a fierce battle with a similar number of soldiers of the Divine Guard Army.
No one noticed that such a murderous star suddenly fell from the watchtower.
And Yang Xu, although the arrow wound on his body had not healed yet, ignored the pain. He quickly rushed forward for more than thirty steps, jumped up on the stone lion in front of a mansion, thrust his spear into the ground, took off the horn bow, and pulled
Cum when full.
He is a fierce general who has just come off the battlefield, and his archery skills have long been passed down from his grandfather Yang Si. Therefore, whether it is in finding key targets or capturing fighter planes, he is far from the incompetent soldiers of the Divine Guards and Palace Guards.
A rookie on the battlefield can compare.
The first arrow hit the head and neck of a certain God Guardsman who was fighting fiercely, and shot right through the man's trachea.
The second arrow hit the face of a divine guard, Marquis Yu.
Before the third arrow could be released, the commander who led the Divine Guards to rescue the hermitage was already frightened. He covered his head and body with his shield and retreated decisively.
"Captain Yang of the Dingbian Army is here. If you don't want to die, get away!" Yang Xu asked himself whether he could shoot through the shield, and shouted a threat at the top of his voice. Then he adjusted his direction, aimed at the camp flag of the Divine Guards, and let go.
The fingers holding the nock of the arrow.
"Whoosh -" The arrow shot through the air like a meteor, instantly splitting the flagpole into two pieces. The scarlet camp flag fell in response.
