Chapter 1112 In Daming Mansion, Cuiyun Building, Jinfeng Yulu Building
The walls of Daming Mansion are high and the moats are deep, and they stretch for dozens of miles. A mile or two outside the city wall, soldiers and horses from the two mountains of Qingzhou have already set up camp. Just looking from the city wall, you can see the banners of the strong bandits in the camp.
The wind is blowing, the shadows of spears and swords are shining in the sky, the military formations are fierce, the three armies are as majestic and powerful as brave men, and there is a faint murderous aura in the sky, which makes people feel frightened.
The Qingzhou people from the two mountains were strong and powerful, and they were eager to win a great victory. As soon as they appeared in the sight of the Daming Mansion defenders, they immediately felt the overwhelming pressure. And inside the strong and towering city walls, there were countless
The peasants were panting from the exhaustion of carrying piles of grain, grass and arrows, and rolling logs and stones. Under the city wall, there were also cooks piling firewood to light the stoves. There were also groups of resting peasants who came forward to grab the freshly cooked millet and rice, just eating some side dishes and snoring.
Eat with a smooth mouth.
Although they were defeated by the strong bandits from the two mountains in Qingzhou, the soldiers under Li Cheng and Wen Da no longer dare to take the initiative to come out of the city to fight the enemy. However, tens of thousands of civilians inside and outside Daming Mansion are now helping to protect the city and are preparing to fight.
Even with the defensive weapons such as wood, cannons, and stones, the Imperial Guards who stayed behind would never believe that the strong bandit soldiers and horses outside the city could sprout a pair of wings out of thin air and fly directly into the outside of the city. Although there were strong enemies outside looking around, there was sufficient food and grass in Damingfu City, and the bandits and bandits could not
Even if the army comes to the city, how long will it take?
But what Liang Shijie, Li Cheng, Wen Da and others could not have expected was that there were already internal troops of the Green Forest and Mountain Bandits lurking in the city, and they were even ordered to let them in on their own initiative.
It was night, and the Damingfu City, which used to be crowded with people and businesses, and the streets and streets were very prosperous, seemed a lot deserted. Although many people in the city had heard about the past behavior of soldiers and horses in the green forests of Qingzhou, after all, there were people outside.
The strong bandits were approaching the city walls, and a tense atmosphere spread throughout the market. There were also far fewer people taking advantage of the night market to go out to eat, drink and have fun.
The Jinfeng Yulu Building, which was purchased and rebuilt by Yang Xu, the general manager of Xiao Tang, was rebuilt by combining three restaurants. Now it is also out of business.
At this time, in a pavilion of Jinfeng Yulu Building, the left-behind secretary issued an urgent document to mobilize Shi Xiu, Shi Yong, Xue Yong, Xiangyong of Xiazhuang Town, and Yang Baozi, who had also returned to the Xiao family at this time.
Lin and other leaders, and now all of his confidants were in the building, Shi Xiu then gave instructions according to the secret message sent by Xiao Tang: "According to my brother's instructions, the Jinfeng Yulu Tower is in a conspicuous position in the city, and it is in a row.
If a fire is set on the busy Long Street as a signal, the people in the city will definitely panic. At that time, brothers Fafu will be shouting in the dark. The officers and soldiers guarding the city do not know why, so they can take this opportunity to teach again at the east gate.
Bian Xiang, Fu Xiang and Chen Guang brothers took advantage of the chaos to open the city gate, and drove in troops from outside. If they cooperate with each other inside and outside, they can break the city!"
After hearing this, Shi Yong glanced at the finely decorated Jinfeng Yulu Tower, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart, and said: "Although the plan is a good one, it's not just this Jinfeng Yulu Tower, but also that one."
Cuiyun Tower, which was also taken over by brother Xiao Tang, is extremely well built. In the past few years, he has made a lot of money every day and made a lot of money... Now in order to break the Damingfu city, he has to burn it down.
It’s a pity that our building is like this.”
"As the saying goes: sailing when the wind is favorable, and striking when the iron is booming, now my brother is using his plan to set fire to these two buildings, causing a commotion in Daming Mansion, not to mention that his own restaurant has its own sense of proportion, so it is not
Injuring the innocent people in the city. Taking advantage of the panic to break through this city, which has high walls and is heavily guarded and is one of the few important capitals in the entire Song Dynasty, is worth it..."
Yang Lin said in a deep voice, and then said meaningfully: "What's more, the quarrel with the government and the army is getting bigger and bigger now. Brother Xiao Tang was originally an officer and general from the left-behind department of Daming Prefecture, but now the quarrel has reached the point where he wants to lead the two mountain brothers to attack
The time when Daming Mansion, a famous and important city, can officially make a living from the Jinfeng Yulu Tower and the Cuiyun Tower... is probably not long."
After everyone in the pavilion was silent for a moment, Shi Xiu suddenly said again: "There is also the Cuiyun Tower next to the City God's Temple and beside the state government office. Especially now that the brothers from the two mountains are approaching the city, and the officials in the surrounding streets and lanes are looking at it every day.
It's tight, I'm afraid there will be official patrols, and it will be easy for someone to break it. If you want to set a fire there as a signal, it depends on the ability of brother Shi Qian."
Just as Shi Xiu finished speaking, Shi Qian's thin figure appeared at the door of the pavilion at some unknown time. He also said: "This is easy. I am a person who walks over walls and walls. I plan to cross the wall at night in another hour. I won't follow."
Go straight to Cuiyun Tower and you'll find sulfur, flame salt and other fire-starting chemicals. We'll wait for my younger brother to set a fire on Cuiyun Tower first. Brother Shi Xiu will also set a fire here. It's time.
Taking advantage of the panic of the officers and soldiers, they secretly opened the city gate so that the brothers from the two mountains outside the city could fight their way into the city."
Shi Xiujian nodded and said: "This arrangement is exactly what brother Xiao Tang asked. It can scare the crowd and cause panic in the city, and it will not accidentally hurt the innocent people in the city. But after tonight
, broke the Daming Mansion, an important palace that had a great relationship with the Song Dynasty. If the brothers in the two Dazhai in Qingzhou and the name "Quan Yu" used by the elder brother in the green forest would not have been alerted by the court...
....It is no longer possible.”
.....................
As the night gets darker and darker, I can see the bright moon in the sky and the stars. Although the torches above the Damingfu city wall are still brightly lit, and the campfires in the military stronghold on the two mountains outside the city are also illuminating. After all, it is already late.
, most of the people who were feeling uneasy have also gone home and fallen asleep.
There are still government officials patrolling the streets and alleys in Damingfu City. Even the brothers Cai Fu and Cai Qing in the prison courtyard were transferred to patrol the government office area. There are millions of people in Damingfu City.
Although all the city gates, including the Water Gate, have already been put on tight alert, the defenders in the city did not dare to neglect night inspections as a precaution, fearing that the Qingzhou two mountain bandits would sneak into the city before and after they approached the city.
The current season is different from the original work where Daming Mansion lights up the lights as usual to celebrate the Lantern Festival. Instead, the people in the city set up lights on the occasion of the festival to celebrate the good harvest, and there are no residents from the surrounding areas of Daming Mansion.
The people set up lamp sheds and hung lights. Naturally, there was no need to choose whether to capture the city during the festival when the rain was clear and spring was early, and the people were singing and dancing happily, which greatly ruined the scenery and caused harm to the good people who stayed in the city and harmed the fish.
Even reaching half, Xiao Tang thought in his heart that he would set fire to the building in the middle of the night to cause chaos among the officers and soldiers. The building was his own property. Now, he was cooperating with the officers and soldiers to enter the Daming Mansion, but he also had the commanders of his trusted brothers in the market town.
With their own manpower, they burned down two of the most prosperous buildings in Daming Mansion, which could also have the effect of immediately causing chaos in the city, and then taking the opportunity to open the city gates and enter the city.
At this time, the two brothers Cai Fu and Cai Qing, who were patrolling the night, had some friendship with Xiao Tang, and Yan Qing had come to secretly instruct Lu Junyi not to harm Lu Junyi, who was in prison at that time, but they had no idea that the co-owner of Green Forest Mountains
Who exactly is "Quan Yu"?
"Although the strong bandits from the two mountains of Qingzhou are powerful, our Damingfu City is high and deep, and it is the first-class state capital in Hebei Province. Since it was promoted to the capital, when has it been broken?"
Cai Fu was talking to Cai Qing, and Cai Qing thought for a moment, and then said: "Brother, the strong bandits from the two mountains in Qingzhou are really not to be underestimated. Even Suo Chao, who was left behind in the division and was good at fighting, could not be underestimated."
If you are willing to join those strong bandits, I also know that the bandit leader Quan Yu has a great reputation. Didn’t you also hear that the officers and soldiers who fled back to Daming Mansion two days ago said that even Lu Junyi, the jade unicorn, became the leader of the two mountain bandits?
? I feel that those strong bandits are really very courageous. Originally, the officers and soldiers from the Hebei Province Military Division were dispatched to conquer those guys, but now they are reversed and want to attack Daming Mansion, even if the city is heavily guarded...
..But somehow I always feel panicked, always feeling that the strong bandits who dare to invade the city of Damingfu will come back again."
Originally, Cai Qing was just confiding his inner thoughts to his brother, but when Cai Fu saw what he was saying, he immediately stopped and frowned and thought for a moment. Until Cai Qing saw that Cai Fu's expression was different, he asked several questions in succession, and Cai Fu again
He shook his head and said, "It's just that I was thinking too much at the moment. How could that be possible?"
And while the two brothers Cai Fu and Cai Qing were talking, they had just turned the corner on the west side of the government office with more than a dozen businessmen from the government office, but they did not notice a black figure behind them leaping on the roof of the house.
, in a moment he sneaked into Cuiyun Tower, which was only a hundred steps away from them...
