Funing Hall

In fact, they had already invaded Yizhou City on the night when the letter and the body were sent away.Not long after, Zhao Shiqi successfully captured Zhao Congde.He also met Huang Shu smoothly, knowing that he was not dead, Huang Shu was both surprised and happy, Zhao Shiqi had already rushed to Tokyo, but he was a step behind.

Before attacking the city, Huang Shu discussed with everyone repeatedly.

Huang Shu is a civil official, but he has always been familiar with the art of war. When he was the governor of Yizhou, he often went to check the local Xiang army's training in person.He is not the kind of person who waits for a big belly. He was born thin and can dance swords and flowers. Although he can only dance, he is also old and his physical strength is not as good as before.But it shows that this person has real skills, not some civil servant who doesn't understand anything.

Several generals listened to his words and knew that he had a lot of experience, so they were willing to listen to his suggestions.

It's just that Huang Shu proposed not to form an array when attacking the city, and several people still hesitated.They usually train soldiers, and what they practice is formations, and those who work hard to find out are military formations. This has been a rule for hundreds of years.

Huang Shu reprimanded "pedantry", and pointed to the frontier: "In a place like Yizhou, how can you make such a formation?" He then pointed to the paper on the table, "It will take a long time to arrange the formation."

"The weapons of the Southwestern Tribe are not as good as those of the Song Dynasty, and their temperament is not as tough as our soldiers, but there are quite a few of them. If we attack directly like this, how can we ensure that we can defeat hundreds of thousands of them?"

"In war, what you want is an aura."

Although the general admired Huang Shu, he still felt that this was the thinking of a civil servant, and immediately refused: "No! Soldiers practiced normally and have long been accustomed to all kinds of military formations. It just so happens that Eleven Lord left a new formation map this time..." As he was talking, the general didn't say anything, but Mr. Eleventh Lang is really talented. Who wouldn't admire the pictures he drew?A good person, why...

He didn't speak, and the others didn't speak, and there was a moment of silence.

Huang Shu sighed and was about to say more when someone came in and whispered in his ear: "Zhang Tingchu wants to see you."

Huang Shu's eyes lit up. When he came, he had already planned to meet Zhang Tingchu first. Even if it was difficult to meet because of the confrontation between the two sides, it was feasible to send someone to say a few words.It's just that Huang Shu didn't have time to deal with Zhang Tingchu after encountering so many things in succession.

Just like what Zhao Shiqi thought, he originally wanted to outsmart, take back Yizhou City with as few casualties as possible, and then capture Zhao Congde.

But since Zhao Congde dared to do this, they were not afraid to fight Zhao Shiqi.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Tingchu found it by himself.

Huang Shu pleaded guilty and went to meet people in an empty room at the back.

He thought that at most Zhang Tingchu had sent someone, but unexpectedly, it was actually Zhang Tingchu himself.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, before Zhang Tingchu turned around, the voice rang out first: "I haven't seen Mr. Huang for a long time, I miss you so much! Haha!" After speaking, he just turned around and faced Huang Shu face to face.

Huang Shu had dealt with him a lot in the past, he knew Zhang Tingchu's mouth was very powerful, and he also knew that Zhang Tingchu had a lot of thoughts.Just when he was in a hurry, he closed the door, nodded his head, and said hello to him, and then said: "Since Zhang Envoy is here, he has something to tell me, why don't you just tell me."

Zhang Tingchu laughed again, and said: "I want to catch up with Mr. Huang."

"Hmph!" Huang Shu flicked his sleeves, "Since you dare to come, don't even think about leaving without saying something!"

"Mr. Huang, don't be angry. I say it's okay?" Zhang Tingchu put away his foolish smile and changed to a gentle face, "There is really big news to tell the adults, but I don't know if the adults will benefit from it?"

"You don't care about His Majesty, and you want to rebel with Zhao Congde without permission?! Since I'm here, don't even think about running away!"

"I didn't mess around with Zhao Congde, I mixed in, doing fine work for His Majesty."

Zhang Tingchu came as soon as he opened his mouth, full of nonsense, not a word of truth.

Huang Shu knew it in his heart, sneered, and simply asked: "Then what did you find out?"

Zhang Tingchu smiled: "I don't know Mr. Fang, Fang Zhiheng and Luo Jiu have led people out of Yizhou City and returned to their own tribe."

Huang Shu looked at him immediately: "Really?!"

"How dare I coax you sir? They started withdrawing at noon. Fang Zhiheng brought more than 2 people and took them all away. Luo Jiu is Long Guangcheng's henchman. He brought 3 people and was forced to stay by Long Guangcheng. 1 people, the rest have been taken away."

"What do Shi Chengfeng and Long Guangcheng say?"

"Shi Chengfeng, my lord also knows that his ears are the softest. Although he stayed, his heart was already shaken. Long Guangcheng talked nicely to Zhao Congde, but my lord often deals with Long Guangcheng. He can really help Zhao Congde. good?"

"So, how many people are there in Yizhou City?"

"If you count mine, it's over a hundred thousand."

Huang Shu had a half-smile but not a smile: "It doesn't count?"

Zhang Tingchu smiled: "More than 7."

"Emissary Zhang, do you have anything else to say?"

Zhang Tingchu has negotiated terms with Zhao Shiqi, but who thinks there are too few good things?Unexpectedly, Huang Shu would come here in person, so Zhang Tingchu had to ask for double insurance for himself: "Mr. Xianggong is afraid of attacking the city at night? I led people to separate Long Guangcheng and Shi Chengfeng's people, and my lord attacked directly and captured Zhao Congde. We How about helping your lord kill Long Guangcheng and Shi Chengfeng?"

Huang Shu sneered.

Zhang Tingchu didn't blush at all, and said again: "The people under them, just give them to me?"

Huang Shu did not have this right, and Zhang Tingchu knew that he did not. Zhang Tingchu just begged him to speak well in front of His Majesty to ensure that those people would eventually fall into his hands.

Zhang Tingchu is Zhang Fan's envoy, and was personally appointed by His Majesty. If the information he provided is true, he has indeed been a detailed work, and it can be regarded as meritorious service. His Majesty will definitely reward him.

Huang Shu thought about it for a while, and said: "If those people are captured, someone will take over their troops first. The forbidden soldiers will share with you. As for how to arrange it later, it depends on Your Majesty's will."

"It's easy to talk about." With such a sentence, Zhang Tingchu was relieved, and he left with a smile.

The terrain of Yizhou City is high, and they are outside the city, and they can't see the specific situation in the city.Huang Shu believed Zhang Tingchu's words five percent, and did not believe five percent.

But believe it or not, the night still falls on time as before.

Huang Shu sat behind the formation, and the place outside the city and inside the city was narrow, so he didn't care about sending a vanguard army. A few generals led the troops and marched directly to the gate of the city with their shields up, using their momentum to overwhelm them.

Someone in the team beat the war drum, and every time it was knocked, there was a "boom", followed by the roar of the soldiers.This was the roar of 20 people, and the flames in Yizhou city seemed to tremble.

Zhao Congde was sitting in the back of the formation in the city, so it was safe, but when he heard this voice, his heart immediately trembled.Moreover, the sound of the drums was continuous and never stopped, and the roar of the soldiers never stopped.

Zhao Congde couldn't sit still, so he stood up and asked the groom beside him, "Maybe they can carry it up front?"

"Don't worry, my son, Long Guangcheng is a formidable person."

"No matter how powerful you are, you don't have enough manpower! Beijing keeps sending troops, and now it's probably more than 20! How many people do we have? And so many local goods have left!"

"Even if there is danger, the subordinates will protect the prince well, don't worry, prince! The worst is to abandon the city!"

"The city of Yizhou, which was won so hard, can be abandoned at will?" Zhao Congde was not reconciled.

The groom sneered to himself, Yizhou City was taken when people were unprepared. Long Guangcheng brought ten thousand people in and attacked while Yizhou Zhizhou was sleeping. What does it have to do with him?It wasn't Zhao Congde who took it.

But he has nothing on his face, and he still compliments Zhao Congde nicely.

Just as he was complimenting him, the loud roar outside suddenly stopped, and Zhao Congde panicked even more. Why?

The sound of the drums stopped, and the general leading the troops shouted into the city, telling them to take back the people who were hanging at the city gate. The people could not threaten them, and they would definitely attack the city tonight.

What answered them was several feathered arrows shot out suddenly.

"Shield!"

The Song soldiers outside the city immediately set up their shields, blocking most of the feather arrows.But soon a second wave of feathered arrows struck, but at this time they were all standing up with shields, and they could hardly hurt anyone.

Once the momentum stabilized, the war drum sounded again.

The tribal soldiers in the city were also a little panicked. They were in the southwest and rarely fought. Even if they had troubles with other tribes, they would only fight in small ways. They had never seen such a formation.

Long Guangcheng was so courageous that he led the troops himself, rode on a high horse, and stood at the forefront to command.

He heard the voice outside getting louder and louder, "Hang all the people of Yizhou on the city gate to death!"

Those common people were all hung upside down at this time. As soon as the order came out, the guards inside the city gate immediately took them back.They reversed the direction, tied the rope around their necks, and waited for the instruction, they were about to throw them out together, and hang them on the city wall.

The women and children they specially picked were already terrified when they were hung upside down.Now it looks like they are going to die, many children are crying, and the woman is also crying.

The children's cries were heard for several miles, and the more Long Guangcheng listened to them, the more at ease he felt.

Zhao Congde faintly heard crying, and immediately stood up, and ran out without waiting for the groom to stop him, but the people guarding Long Guangcheng outside the house stopped him when they saw him coming out.

Zhao Congde scolded angrily: "Let this son out!"

The other party couldn't understand Song Ren's elegant voice, his face was calm, and he just put two knives in front of him.

"You dare to stop me?!" Zhao Congde didn't expect that the so-called protectors left behind by Long Guangcheng were actually imprisoning him. He said anxiously, "Long Guangcheng is going to kill the people of Song Dynasty! Let me Get out!" He ran forward, he was used to being a son of the world, how could he think that these people would really dare to stop him.As soon as he moved forward, the sharp knife cut open his skirt.

He was shocked, took a few steps back, and broke out in a cold sweat.

Long Guangcheng raised his hand, as long as he waved down, those women and children would die instantly.

His soldiers waited for many days, and when they were finally able to kill, they all applauded, seeing that the momentum in the city also rose sharply.Long Guangcheng smiled, and was about to wave his hand, when suddenly a feathered arrow shot from behind, directly hit Long Guangcheng on the back of the head, and then pierced through his right eye, Long Guangcheng paused and fell off the horse.

His deputy was taken aback for a moment, and then roared angrily, "Protect your lord!"

The soldiers and horses behind were all in chaos, and in the chaos, someone shouted again: "It's Shi Chengfeng! Shi Chengfeng killed your lord!"

In fact, the five tribes have been at odds for a long time, and they only get together when they have common interests, but they never thought that Shi Chengfeng would dare to kill people directly!Long Guangcheng died right in front of his eyes, how could they bear it?As far as they are concerned, the conflict with Tokyo City is not as good as with the other four surnames.

The deputy roared in grief, put on the knife, turned around and rushed towards Shi Chengfeng first.

Shi Chengfeng was stunned, and couldn't help but look back, Zhang Tingchu hurried over with his people, and said in a hurry: "At the critical moment, don't lose your temper! It's important to resist the Song soldiers outside the city—"

Before he finished speaking, Long Guangcheng's deputy stood up from his horse and rushed towards Shi Chengfeng from a few feet away.Shi Chengfeng's deputy also went up to protect him, but Zhang Tingchu kept persuading him anxiously, how could he persuade him?

The two groups had already wrestled together. Zhang Tingchu wiped the sweat from his brow, pretended to be scared, and said loudly: "Let's step back, go around them and go to the city gate. It's important to resist the Song soldiers!"

Long Guangcheng's deputy cast a grateful look, and he wanted to kill Shi Chengfeng before giving up.

Shi Chengfeng failed to explain, and was completely dragged into the battle situation.

Zhang Tingchu led the people to the city gate in a hurry, but actually sneered in his heart. With this appearance, he couldn't even tell what was the most important thing, and he expected to fight with Zhao Congde to Tokyo City?

As soon as Zhang Tingchu led his men to the city gate, his men immediately went up to the tower. The original men thought they were here to take over, and they were about to let go of the hostages in order to avenge Long Guangcheng.Zhang Tingchu's people received them, turned around and left them on the tower one by one.

"Open the door!" Zhang Tingchu was very angry.

Song soldiers outside the city heard the chaos inside and were about to attack, but they didn't expect the city gate to open like this.

They were also a little dazed, not knowing what Zhang Tingchu and Huang Shu had said.

Huang Shu knew what was going on ahead, and immediately came from behind. Seeing this situation, he knew that Zhang Tingchu was not lying.Not only told the truth, but also helped him solve big problems.

Huang Shu said loudly: "Go in quickly and arrest Zhao Congde and others!"

The soldiers stopped beating the drums, and entered the city together with the general. After a while, there was a real chaotic fighting in the city.After all, it was the later Song soldiers who were superior. In the civil strife just now, Shi Chengfeng was seriously injured, and both parties lost their leaders, so they were easily surrounded by well-trained Song soldiers.

Huang Shu took a closer look and found that Zhao Congde was not there. He asked where Zhao Congde was staying, and hurriedly took someone to arrest Zhao Congde himself.

Unexpectedly, when they reached the place, the building was already empty, only a dozen or so corpses remained in front of the door.

Huang Shu looked carefully, and followed the bloodstains all the way west by the door, pointing to the west gate: "Go!"
