But Huang Degong, who was in Ningjin, was shocked when he heard the news. He thought that the young eunuch was just walking around incognito and then came back, but he sneaked into the city to assassinate people. He was shocked and admired in his heart. He was really awesome. When he was in Taiyuan,
He once visited Li Zicheng's camp and killed Li Laiheng, but this time another bloody storm was inevitable.
However, he also vaguely guessed that since the young eunuch asked him to respond, it would not be as simple as assassination. Otherwise, with his ability, he could hide in the city. Even if he forced his way out of the city, it would be enough to have people from the Gongzi Camp respond. At this time,
There is only one possibility to mobilize the army!
Take the opportunity to attack the city!
Huang Degong finally got smart for once, but Chang Yu didn't actually have this intention before. The purpose of asking Chen Wangting to report before the assassination was just in case. For example, if he succeeded, there would be chaos inside and outside the city, especially if there were tens of thousands of refugees outside the city who were incited.
, Gongziying was afraid of falling into a tight siege, but if there was a large army on its side, they would not dare to act rashly.
Of course, during the later negotiations with Yang Tianba, Li Muchian's words reminded Chang Yu, that is, why not seize the opportunity to attack. Of course, they need to create the opportunity.
After hearing the news, Huang Degong did not dare to neglect, and immediately informed Gao Jie. After a brief discussion, the two decided to go together. Although the main troops from Jizhou had arrived one after another, they were exhausted from the long journey, and the situation was urgent and the infantry was not available.
, the two of them each mobilized five thousand cavalry and headed straight to Zhaozhou in two directions.
All the way north along the river, all the way from the southwest direction to the city, so that the two groups of people can cooperate with each other and create momentum. Sure enough, more than 10,000 people attacked, causing the rebel spies to panic. They quickly reported to the city and organized cannon fodder in the city.
Set up a defensive line outside.
Little did they know that their leader was kidnapped by a group of wild bandits in the government office at this time. Not only was he dizzy due to the intoxication, but he was also so angry that he almost bled from his orifices.
Wen's officers and soldiers suddenly crossed the border. Yang Tianba, who had been tormented for several hours and almost suffered a nervous breakdown, could no longer hold on. He recklessly turned against the young eunuch and fought to the death. Fortunately, Zhang Chen was calm enough to stop him.
After muttering for a while, the two of them showed their cards to Chang Yu: Either leave now and Zhang Chen will be taken as a hostage to escort them out of the city, or they can stay in the city until the enemy troops retreat and Yang Tianba will be taken as a hostage to escort them out.
This is Yang Tianba's bottom line, and it is reasonable and benevolent.
But how could Chang Yu let go so easily? He was about to stir up trouble, so he flatly refused to respond. Either Yang Tianba would send them out of the city immediately, or Yang Tianba would sit here and direct them not to leave this courtyard or room, and by the way, he would provoke them.
After looking at the relationship between the two, he looked at Zhang Chen and said, "Believe it or not, if you send me out of the city, let alone twenty miles away, I'm afraid he will take action two miles away. To be honest, if you change the angle, you will care about him.
Life or death?"
As expected, Zhang Chenben's expression changed, he looked away from Yang Tianba next to him and bit his lips secretly: "We will discuss this later."
"Let's discuss it again. After a while, the officers and soldiers have come in!" Yang Tianba roared angrily, cursing secretly that this guy was provoked so easily.
Zhang Chenben was extremely calm: "There are tens of thousands of refugees outside the city to serve as shields. As long as we encourage them a little, it will be difficult for the officers and soldiers to get closer than ten miles away. If he gets to the bottom of the city, how can he defeat him when he gets to the city with thick walls, soldiers and food?"
, this place is full of rebels to the west or north, reinforcements can be reached at any time, does he have the guts to besiege the city, and how many days can it be besieged?"
Having said this, Yang Tianba felt a little relieved, but these people in front of him were really a thorn in his side and needed to be dealt with immediately.
"Have you thought about it?" Chang Yu tapped the table gently with a knife: "Just choose one of these two options, otherwise I will immediately go on a killing spree and leave the city by my own ability. Whether I live or die depends on fate.
, you two don’t have to worry about it.”
The implication is most obvious, choose or die!
Yang Tianba gritted his teeth, thinking that the officers and soldiers were currently twenty miles away, and there were refugees gathering outside the city, so it would be difficult for them to get close. Time allowed him to leave the city as a hostage and send him twenty miles away, and said: "Leave the city, take the north gate!"
"No, go to the south gate." Chang Yu's words suddenly made him furious: "The bandit army came from the south. If you want to go south and die, don't hurt me."
Chang Yu sneered: "The north is your home. If I go there, I will die. How can I escape with three thousand taels of silver?" Yang Tianba was choked, but Zhang Chenben also said that both directions are in the northwest.
The place where thieves were concentrated made him unable to refute.
"Go to the east gate, go to the east gate." Zhang Chenben responded quickly and said quickly. Yang Tianba agreed, but Chang Yu was worried. The army came from the south. If he went out from the east, wouldn't his plan fail? How could he trick the city gate into opening it?
, allowing Huang Degong to rush in.
Seeing the solemn and hesitant faces of Chang Yu and others, Yang Tianba couldn't help but urged him fiercely. However, he angered the little eunuch. He picked up the hand of a drunken thief next to him and cut off half of it with his knife.
Blood and brain matter splattered all over their heads. Yang Tianba and Zhang Chenben were so frightened that they screamed and retreated to the corner, looking horrified and speechless.
Besides being cruel and vicious, Wuzhong was not surprised at all, but Qiao Sanxiu and Li Muxian were trembling in their hearts. They had heard for a long time that Dongchang was cruel and murderous. Although the eunuch leader was young, he was especially ruthless.
"Have you forgotten who has the final say here?" Chang Yu sneered, walked up to Yang Tianba and kicked him: "I originally had hundreds of brothers in Gongjiling, but Li Zicheng couldn't recruit more than half of my brothers when he crossed the border.
Sooner or later, we have to settle the matter, today I’m just collecting some interest and you’re asking me to beg for it!”
Yang Tianba and Zhang Chen didn't dare to talk to each other, but they suddenly realized that it was no wonder they were so bold and dared to attack even the rebels. It turned out that there was Liang Zi. Wherever the rebel army went, they not only kidnapped the refugees, but also naturally recruited heroes from the mountains and mountains.
Some people are willing to join a group and others like to work alone. Under normal circumstances, Li Zicheng will not force it, but there are inevitably some people below who take advantage of the strength of the crowd and get rid of them if they don't like it.
It seems that Gong Jiling, who has never heard of it, has been treated like this. These people are most likely to have slipped through the net. Now they are seeking revenge. Otherwise, who would have the guts to do this if they are so ignorant and ignorant?
No wonder he is so cruel and ruthless about this matter.
"Brother, we made an agreement before. Now that you have denied your intention, you have to come clean. Otherwise, there is no way for us to waste our time like this." Zhang Chenben asked boldly.
Previously, he and Yang Tianba dared to gamble that these people would not dare to fight to the death, but now they no longer had the courage. They would really risk their lives and kill people. Now there are enemies coming from outside, so they can take advantage of the chaos to escape.
It's not impossible.
"I rely on trust to travel in the world. Of course, the agreement we made before still counts. If I want to kill you, I will kill you sooner rather than later." Chang Yu snorted coldly, and the thief leader immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"But..." Chang Yu then said that he had brothers outside the city to support him. He was originally in the south of the city, but he didn't know that the officers and soldiers coming from the south at this time changed the plan. If he went out from the east, he would not worry about Yang Tianba and others.
When a person leaves the city, he must first contact his brothers outside the city and go to the east gate to meet him.
Yang Tianba did not doubt that he was there, so he said that if there was no one to meet him outside the city, how could these seven people be so bold as to enter the city to extort money? He made eye contact with Zhang Chenben and nodded in agreement.
"Brother, how many people are there outside the city?" Zhang Chen was a little worried at first, but he breathed a sigh of relief after Chang Yu said to more than a hundred people: "Brother, if you want to leave, please go quickly, otherwise it will be very difficult to leave when the officers and soldiers arrive.
I will take care of everything here and will never pursue it. After all, we have more important things to do right now."
Chang Yu nodded and said, "I would like to ask you two to go to the east gate."
At this point, Yang Tianba and Zhang Chen had no choice. After staying up for several hours, things finally made progress and they saw a glimmer of light. The main reason was that they wanted to send these plague gods away as soon as possible.
So focused on taking on the challenge. (To be continued)
