Lord of the House

(Second, ask for a red ticket)

It wasn't anyone else who came here, it was Chen Xi, who was ordered by Azige to inspect the grain and grass on the north bank.

Zhou Bin and the general Puamayo will deliver tomorrow. Chen Xi could have waited until tomorrow to go out of the city to inspect the grain and grass together, but if he really waited until tomorrow to check and deliver the grain and grass together with the grain officer, then the benefits that were extorted from the Chaishan grain transport officer would be taken. Go and share with the grain supervisor and Fancheng guard Puama.

Puama was born in the Punacha clan, a nobleman in Yandong, and was later changed to the Pu surname because of Emperor Tianming's implementation of the Han surname.

Puama is a slick person. He usually smiles when he sees Chen Xi, but when he sees the actual benefits, he refuses to give Chen Xi more than half a point. Born in Punachale, he is not afraid that Chen Xi is the slave of Azige, and Azige is the younger brother of Yu Fei, the favorite concubine of the Emperor of Heaven.

In order to get more benefits, Chen Xi naturally had to go to the grain camp and get in touch with Chai Shan Wei who was escorting the grain and grass. He wanted Chai Shan Wei Zhou Bin to understand that he was the key person to receive food and grass and strengthen the people, so he insisted on going out of the city before it was dark. Come take a look at the grain camp.

Zhou Bin came to the avenue to greet him, listened to Chen Xidong talking and understood his purpose, and cursed in his heart: Hu people have only been in the customs for a few years, but they have mastered the greedy things in the customs! That's good, the more the Hu people are corrupted and the faster they will be, the less resistance they will have to the Northern Expedition in the future.

After thinking about it in my heart, on the bright side, I still have to welcome Chen Xi into the camp to see the provisions and the baggage that was escorted to Fancheng with the army.

The grains going south from Fancheng are mainly those transported south from Luoyang in the north. Later, the grain expropriation in Zaoyang County was brought under the jurisdiction of Xiangyang to supplement the shortage of grains and forages on the southern route. Therefore, it is rare to have inspections here in Fancheng. Opportunity to deliver grain and extort places.

When Chen Xi entered the grain camp, he saw the grain and grass, and secondly, the people were strong.

Seeing that there is no problem with the food and grass, there are nearly 2,000 carriages, most of which are loaded with food and grass. Zhou Bin leads the way. Naturally, Chen Xi can't get to the carts with the armored arrows, but Min Zhuang can see it. question.

Azige was worried that Luo Xiancheng would send some old and weak women and children as perfunctory, but he did not expect Luo Xiancheng to send all the young men over. In addition to the soldiers, the three or four thousand **** civilians are all strong and strong, how can there be any skinny mountain people?

Although Chen Xi is greedy, but with Azige in the army for many years, his eyesight is still much more poisonous than ordinary people.

Seeing this, Chen Xi became suspicious: he didn't believe that Luo Xiancheng would be so kind enough to take out the rare soldiers in his army to supplement the shortage of people here, so there was only one possibility left: Huaidong or Huaixi The ambush soldiers disguised as civilians lurked to seize Fancheng, or it might be that Luo Xiancheng had betrayed—

Thinking of this, Chen Xi's back was frightened by a cold sweat. Fortunately, the autumn was already cold, and there were still many clothes, and the sweat could not see through the clothes. The cool wind was blowing, and he couldn't help shivering. Fortunately, the sky was dark and pale. His face was not so clear.

Seeing the doubts, Chen Xi did not dare to stay in the grain camp for a long time, and was anxious to join up with the hundreds of soldiers outside the grain camp and Puama gave him a scene. I can rest assured that I will go back to the South Bank tonight to report to General Azig, and I will ask Colonel Zhou to wash the dust in the city tomorrow..."

"General Chen, there is another place that you must take a look at!" Zhou Bin squinted and smiled and took Chen Xi's arm, asking him to walk to a tent on the left, and said with a smile, "That's Chai Shan. Lord Wang Xiang Wang asked the last general to bring something good for honoring all of you, and I also asked General Chen to pick it up first..."

Just as foreign troops are not allowed to enter the city casually, no matter how simple the grain camp is, it is still a military camp, and foreign troops are not allowed to enter the barracks casually—Chen Xi entered the grain camp to check the food and grass and strengthen the people. .

Seeing the strong soldiers beside Chai Shanwei Zhou Bin on the left and right, Chen Xi was stiff and did not dare to struggle, so he could only follow Zhou Bin to a tent.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Chen Xi wanted to calm down and cover up what to say, but Zhou Bin didn't give him a chance. Chen Xi felt his neck tighten and shouted dully, and Zhou Bin's stout arm was restrained and moved from behind. Must not.

Zhou Bin cut off Chen Xi's neck with a waist knife, released his hand after watching him twitch and breathed out, dropped the body, put the waist knife back into the scabbard, and wiped the blood stained on the arm armor with a sweat towel.

At this time, Huang Zuyu lifted the curtain and walked in, and Zhou Bin said, "This fellow has poisonous eyes, but poisonous eyes die early - we have to do it in advance!"

It is impossible for any plan to be completely secretive, and it is easy to kill Chen Xi. Even if Chen Xi screamed when he was about to die, it would not cause much movement in the grain camp, but those who wanted to be silent would follow Chen Xi. It was impossible to deal with the hundreds of soldiers without arousing the vigilance of Fancheng and Qiaodu.

Huang Zuyu said: "I have asked Deng Qiaoshan to surround the hundreds of soldiers, and now I will call the generals and soldiers to change their armor. When they are alert, they will do it..."

"I'm afraid it won't buy much time," Zhou Bin said. "Tell Deng Qiaoshan to surround Chen Xi's soldiers and hold their troops for now. Gao Hu and I each lead a team to directly fight the bridge crossing and the east gate of Fancheng. Zu Yu, you stay in the grain. Battalion, come back to support us after the generals have put on their armor! Otherwise, once the guards of Fancheng are told to close the city gate, it will be difficult to fight."

At this time, it is close to the city, so it is natural to be caught off guard by the defenders, but it does not mean that a large group of troops will directly go to the east gate of Fancheng and the Qiaodu camp, and the defenders will be stupid and not at all alert - Zhou Bin's troops, although they are all manpower There are weapons, but in order not to arouse the vigilance of the enemy, there are not many people who wear armor beforehand, and there are few bows and crossbows.

The elites on this trip are precisely the three thousand Jianyong posing as civilians, and they haven't had time to pierce their armor and issue weapons.

However, Huang Zuyu is not a mother-in-law. He followed Yu Wangao and Tang Fuguan in his early years and lived through such hard times in the deep mountains and forests of southern Fujian. He knew that in order to win, he had to pay a certain price, and he had to be brave enough to pay the price - Huang Zuyu Press Pressing Zhou Bin's shoulder, he agreed to his arrangement without saying anything.

As the twilight deepened, Zhou Ta brought thirty or forty sergeants to the gate of the city, and asked the military academy guarding the gate to let them enter the city to have some fun, and said with a sullen face: "This road has been driven by wind and frost for more than ten days. , I haven't rested for a while, and I have to rush back tomorrow after the grain and grass are handed over. I dare to invite my brother to open it again, and let us villagers and sons have a taste of what it's like to be a **** in a big city..."

The money has been stuffed in, and although the guard military academy is blocking Zhou Ta and the others from entering the city, they do not face each other with disgust, and they do not turn their swords and guns across to prevent them from standing in the city gate. Why don't you wait until tomorrow to hand over the grain and grass, and let the leader of you speak to General Pu. The above said that let people in, we will naturally not block..." It's almost time to close the city gate, but Chen Xi, who has to leave the city to go to the grain camp return.

At this time, two people came from behind, walked to Zhou Ta's ear and whispered, "Get ready to do it..."

The defenders also found that there were a large number of people coming here in the twilight, far more people than Chen Xi brought out of the city, and became suspicious.

The city gate school instructed his subordinates to drive Zhou Ta and the others out to close the city gate. Zhou Ta and the others shouted: "There are bandits, brother, don't drive us out!" Come.

The city gate school was caught off guard, and the two sides were stabbed with sharp knives, and blood spattered.

The Dongcheng Gate was in chaos, and the more than ten defenders in the city gate were completely unprepared and killed. However, the defenders above the city tower occupied the narrow access to the city, and they suppressed the Zhou Tower under the city gate and could not attack it. At the same time, the alarm bell sounded, and the sound traveled for miles...

************

When Azig heard the alarm bell on the north shore, he danced a knife in the yard, and just took a sweat to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Azige beats tendons and practices bow and knife every morning and evening, just to be able to fight on the battlefield. When he heard the alarm bell ringing, it was not so real. After all, he was in Xiangyang City two or three miles away. The alarm bell was also loud, and Azige confirmed that Fancheng on the north bank had encountered an enemy...

At the west corner of Azige's mansion, there is a tower more than 60 feet high, which was built to facilitate commanding the military in the city, and can directly overlook the situation on the north bank. Azige was wearing a single shirt and walked straight to the watchtower with a knife in hand. The servants in the mansion heard the alarm bells on the north and south banks and made a mess.

Azige walked to the foot of the watchtower, and only then did the military academy rush over to report: "Fancheng encounters an enemy, and there are random enemies in Qiaodu and the east gate of Fancheng..."

"Where did the enemy soldiers come from?" Azig asked.

"I don't know the details, but General Tong sent a horse to check on the north shore."

"Shit eaters, I only know how to check at this time. How can I tell the enemy soldiers to be vigilant when they hit the city gate?" Azige yelled, just about to swing a whip over, suddenly thought of where the enemy soldiers who attacked Fancheng came from. Yes - Chaishan is holding grain and soldiers!

"Fuck! Fuck!" Azige scolded, "Luo Xiancheng is the opposite!"

Azige didn't know about the bad relationship between Luo Xiancheng and the king, and Luo Xiancheng couldn't expose his ugliness in front of Shewenzhuang and Ye Ji Luorong, so that others would know that he couldn't even control his own subordinates--In Azige It seems that Chaishan's troops and horses were sent by Luo Xiancheng, and Chaishan's troops and horses attacked Fancheng, that only means that Luo Xiancheng had a problem...

Azige subconsciously determined that something was wrong with Luo Xiancheng. On the one hand, he asked the soldiers to take out his battle armor and big sword. On the other hand, he asked the bell to ring, and gathered the whole city of Xiangyang to prepare to cross the river to aid Fancheng.

Azige climbed to the watchtower at the west corner of his garrison general's mansion, and the prefect Shen Haobo also ran over with sweat on his face and panting. Looking from the watchtower to the north bank, the Dongcheng Gate and Qiaodu are all on fire.

It seems that there was a battle in the grain camp, but it has ended, which also proves that Chaishan's army and horses are attacking the enemy.

The Dongcheng Gate was blocked and could not be seen clearly, but there was more than a thousand steps away from Qiaodu, and the fire broke out, burning the twilight to a blood-red bright, and it was clear that the Dongbai of the Qiaodu defenders had been given to the enemy soldiers. Occupied, the corpses on the ground slanted. In addition to the more than 100 defenders at the iron pile wharf, the west base was far from the attacked site, and the war had not spread yet, but there were only 50 or 60 defenders left at the pontoon, which were pressed by two or three times the number of soldiers and horses. , can only barely hold the bridge.

No enemy soldiers appeared near the Nancheng Gate yet, but the defenders hurriedly closed the Nancheng Gate, not even thinking of going to support Qiaodu! Otherwise, as long as Nanchengmen sends troops to support the bridgehead in time, they will be able to regain the disadvantage.

If the south bank wants to help the north bank, the pontoon bridge is the most important.

"How did Puama lead the troops!" Azig yelled in hatred.

After a while, Tong Ruilin, the deputy general and the commander-in-chief, also went up to the watchtower and said, "Chaishan's troops and horses are in chaos, and they attacked the Dongcheng Gate and Qiaodu. "

"I don't know the details, you won't open your eyes to see it!" Azige didn't have a good tone compared to his older Tong Ruilin.

Qiaodu is divided into the north and south banks. The north bank Qiaodu defenders are an elite battalion, and the south bank Qiaodu defenders are also an elite battalion. At that time, there were no trucks on the pontoon, which was a great blessing. The soldiers of the south bank battalion were able to quickly rush to the north bank Qiaodu. Reinforcements are much faster than by boat.

Azige took all of this into consideration, but the North Shore Qiaodu defenders were divided into three pieces. Except for the west base, the bridgehead and the iron pile wharf were all in jeopardy. In particular, there were only forty or fifty guards left at the bridgehead. When they arrive, they can't even stand on the bridge, so they have to retreat to the pontoon.

In the northeast direction of Qiaodu, another large group of troops who attacked the enemy was rushing to cross the east base to fight for the bridge.

How wide is the bridgehead? If it can't be opened from the bridgehead to the north, and it has been suppressed at the bridgehead, it will not be able to play a role even with 100,000 reinforcements.

Azige saw that the attacking enemy who came to attack the bridgehead on the north bank later, his armor was unusually bright under the firelight, and it should be the main force of the attacking enemy. Since we can be sure at this time that Chaishan's troops and horses are the enemy soldiers who attacked, it is not difficult to judge the scale of the attack. There are five or six thousand people. Puama has more than 2,000 soldiers and horses on the north bank. He was caught off guard, and even lost the east gate. Azige frowned in pain: He wanted to go to the battlefield and wanted to go crazy, but he never thought about going to the battlefield under such circumstances...

Now there are 500 or 600 reinforcements blocked at the bridge and cannot be opened. If we need to send more reinforcements, we can only cross the river by boat. If the enemy takes Fancheng, the problem will be very, very serious-Azige has a clear understanding of the seriousness of the problem.

He said to Xiangyang prefect Shen Haobo and deputy general Tong Ruilin: "I'm going to help Bei'an~www.wuxiaspot.com~ You two will guard Xiangyang City, and send a fast cavalry to Jingzhou and Shicheng to report: I said that Luo Xiancheng had turned against him, and Chaishan was arranging food and troops. There are more than 5,000 elite soldiers attacking Fancheng..."

"It's impossible for Luo Xiancheng to rebel!" Shen Haobo grabbed Azige.

"How do you know he didn't rebel?" Azige stared at Shen Haobo. From the moment Fancheng was attacked, his trust in the subordinates dropped sharply.

"Luo Xiancheng has 80,000 soldiers. If he wants to fight back when he can't fight back, he has to sacrifice Nanyang and then design this plan to trap me in Beiyan?" Shen Haobo still has some knowledge, otherwise he would not have given control to the dispatcher of Xiangyang and the assistant Ajige. Jingxiang wants to land.

Azige was also dazed by the attacking enemy, so what Xie Haobo said was right.

If Luo Xiancheng had asked Huaidong to buy it early, the luxury family would be suffocated in Jiangzhou, and there would be no way to survive on the north bank, and Beiyan would not be able to defeat Nanyang at all.

Not to mention that Luo Xiancheng might go to join Huaidong because of his dizziness. Luo Xiancheng has 80,000 soldiers and more than 100,000 soldiers in the army. With such a force to join Huaidong, Huaidong will be able to control Jing in one fell swoop. In the whole territory of Xiang and Jiangxi, why play the risky strategy of bringing the king into the urn?

"Luo Xiancheng didn't object, so what's the problem?" Azige asked Shen Haobo rhetorically.

"There must be someone under Luo Xiancheng who secretly invested in Huaidong, and it is very likely that there is a problem on Chaishan's side," Shen Haobo said in a quick-witted manner, "At this moment, you should immediately send people to report the news, only that Chaishan is holding grain soldiers. When a horse attacks Fancheng, the generals from all over the country will make their own judgments, not just reporting to Jingzhou. If there are other soldiers in ambush in Huaidong, and only reporting to Jingzhou, other places will be at a loss..."

Shen Haobo was worried that Huaidong still had soldiers in ambush sneaking in and not exposed, but he did not expect that there were as many as 50,000. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
