Chapter 929 - First Strike (Part II)
About half an hour later, Lu Bing left the drunken red mansion a little reluctantly, and returned to the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, and Zhang Huan, a thousand households in Jinyiwei, followed him step by step, which made Lu Bing feel like a thorn in his back.
In the Drunken Red Mansion Tianzihao Yayuan, after Lu Bing left, Tang Shaozong, the queen of Lingbi, said a little worriedly: "The Lu family was originally a person from the Xingwang Mansion, and has a close relationship with the Xingwang lineage, Lu Bing is the emperor's playmate since childhood, and is deeply favored by the emperor, will it be too reckless for us to find Lu Bing to cooperate, if he tells the emperor, then the three of us will die without a place to be buried." ”
"With this contract in hand, if Lu Bing dares to tell the truth, unless he dies." Guo Xun raised the "alliance contract" in his hand, which they had just signed with Lu Bing, who had already signed it and pressed his handprint.
British Gong Zhang Lun sneered: "Even if there is no contract, once the Li Fuda case breaks out, it will be enough for him Lu Bing to be beheaded all over the house, not to mention that Zhang Huan is watching, Lu Bing will definitely not dare to tell the secret, everyone can rest assured." ”
Tang Shaozong was a little relieved after hearing this, this thing is timid and good, lustful, when he tried to forcibly occupy the Oiran Wang Cuiqiao in Yangzhou, he had a relationship with Xu Jin, some time ago his son Tang Xianji tracked Xu Jin to the Tongzhou dock, trying to humiliate Xu Jin, but died under the sharp arrow of the Tartars, so Tang Shaozong hated Xu Jin even more, plus Jiajing announced the cancellation of Tang Xianji's marriage with Princess Yongfu, so that the Tang family lost face, so Tang Shaozong was easily moved by Guo Xun's words, and promised to join the ranks of the rebellion, Give me an answer.
At this time, Zhang Lun picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and hesitated: "Lao Guo, do you say we want to pull Lao Xu into the gang?" ”
The old Xu in Zhang Lun's mouth is Xu Pengju, the Duke of Wei, and Zhang Lun has a good relationship with Xu Pengju, so he had the idea of pulling him into the gang.
Guo Xun hurriedly shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Don't, Lao Xu is a businessman, he pays attention to harmony and makes money, if it is a business to make money, it is right to cooperate with him, but he will never dare to mix in this kind of thing, and several of us have Liang Zi with Xu Jin, and the relationship between Lao Xu and Xu Jin has always been good." ”
Zhang Lun was right when he thought about it, when Xu Jin lost power, everyone took action to snatch the industry under Xu Jin's name, only Xu Pengju was silent, although he "swallowed" Xu Jin's dry shares in the Ke industry, but the Ke industry was originally taken care of by him, as long as there were a lot of Xu Jin's shares when the dividends were paid at the end of the year, who knew that he had tried to "swallow" Xu Jin's shares, so now Xu Jin is making a comeback, Xu Pengju can still maintain a good relationship with Xu Jin at the beginning.
"Well, then I won't pull Lao Xu into the gang!" Zhang Lun said with a little regret.
From this point of view, Zhang Lun is still a little "righteous", because in his opinion, once the Tartars break the city, their British duke will help break the city, and they will definitely be able to continue to be noble, and Xu Pengju, the Duke of Wei, may be ruined.
"Lao Guo, when will I start there?" Tang Shaozong asked a little nervously, this product is very afraid of death, if it weren't for this kind of thing and there was no turning back, this product would probably choose to retreat at any time.
"Tomorrow night, when it's ugly!" Guo Xun patted Tang Shaozong's shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous, old Tang, this matter is already nine out of ten, and now that Lu Bing has joined, it will be even more foolproof." When the time comes, let's work together to take the Xuanwu Gate and help me to attack the inner city, and Lu Bing will deceive the palace gate to control Jiajing and the Queen Mother, then we will live, hey, Lao Tang, you just wait to fly Huang Tengda, then the high-ranking officials have to do it, the horses have to ride, and the wife and son have to be sealed, isn't it happy? ”
Tang Shaozong couldn't help but feel hot when he heard this, and Wang Cuiqiao's stunning face involuntarily appeared in his mind, and he said regretfully: "It's a pity that Wang Cuiqiao is not in Xu Mansion at this time. ”
"Xu Jin's main room, the Xie family, is also a beauty, and the Fei sisters are even more rare, as long as you don't mind that Lao Tang is pregnant with Liujia!" After Guo Xun finished speaking, he laughed evilly, his eyes full of resentment.
Tang Shaozong said hesitantly: "Forget about the Liujia who are pregnant, the pair of twin pretty maids and the Xie family, Benhou is interested in trying it." ”
Zhang Lun said solemnly: "You guys have fun, don't miss the business, in addition, Xie and Fei's brother-in-law, as well as Xu Jin's cub, must not die." Today, a messenger has been sent to Tianjin, Xu Jin Bi Ri will lead 250,000 troops into Beijing Qin Wang to rescue, it is estimated that the day after tomorrow will arrive in Tongzhou, at this time to control Xu Jin's family in his hands, maybe it can be of great use. ”
Guo Xun sneered: "When Xu Jin arrives in Tongzhou the day after tomorrow, I have already taken the entire capital, I am afraid that he will do something, how can the 200,000 miscellaneous army be the opponent of the Tatar iron cavalry." ”
Zhang Lun shook his head and said: "Xu Jin's son is called Xu Changsheng, he can break into a great name, he does have something outstanding, Tongzhou ate tens of thousands of cavalry in the first battle, we can't take it lightly, after the launch tomorrow night, immediately send someone to take down the Xu Mansion, control Xu Jin's family in his hands, be prepared!" ”
Guo Xun nodded with a hideous expression.
……
Chaoyang Gate is located in the east direction of the inner city, and the grain transported from Tongzhou to Beijing will generally enter the city through this gate, and then be stored in the nearby shipping warehouse, Taicang, Lumi warehouse and other warehouses, so Chaoyang Gate is the busiest city gate in the capital. However, now the Tartar army of more than 100,000 is besieging the city, and the Chaoyang Gate is closed day and night, and it is guarded by 5,000 soldiers and horses of the Zhenwei battalion, and the governor of the Zhenwei battalion is Xu Pengju, the duke of Wei.
On the fifth night of October, most of the buildings in Huanghuafang near Chaoyang Gate were blackened, except for a lantern hanging outside a street shop. Under the dim light, the plaque on the lintel of the shop clearly reads the words "Yue Chaju", which should be a tea house.
The weather was bitterly cold, the north wind blew the lanterns outside the tea house to sway from side to side, at this time, two figures appeared on the streets of Huanghuafang, they did not communicate, just lowered their heads and walked briskly towards Yue Chaju, the hem of the flying fish suit hunted in the cold wind.
At this time, a patrol team of the Five Cities Terracotta Division turned out of the side street, and happened to meet the two of them head-on, and immediately surrounded them and shouted: "Stop, what are you doing?" ”
However, when these soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division saw that the two people in front of them were wearing flying fish suits, they immediately wilted, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the brother of Jinyiwei, misunderstanding and misunderstanding!" ”
At this time, one of the brocade guards flashed his waist card, and the head of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division had a green face on the spot, and said carefully: "It turned out to be Lord Qianhu, I'm disturbed!" With that, he took his brothers and left with great interest.
After the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division left, the two brocade guards walked quickly to the front of Yuechaju and knocked on the door, and after a while, the door opened, and a shiny big bald head poked out, which turned out to be Xu Jin's personal soldier Zhao Datou.
Zhao Datou was dressed as a civilian at the moment, but he couldn't hide the fierce spirit of the battlefield, and when he saw the appearance of the two brocade guards outside the door, he immediately opened the door and let the two in.
The two brocade guards flashed into the Yue Tea House, Zhao Datou slammed the door shut, and said with a smile: "Jin Qianhu, Sima Baihu, it's been a long time!" ”
It turned out that these two Jinyi guards were Jin Biao and Sima Yuan, these two people followed Xu Jin together to send disaster relief to Shandong, and also participated in the suppression of the Mine Thief King Hall, so they had a good relationship with Xu Jin, and because of this, the two were not reused by Lu Bing.
"Lao Zhao, where is the adult?" Jin Biao asked in a deep voice.
"Inside, come with me!" Zhao Datou took Jin Biao and Sima Yuan to the back of Yuechaju.
It is said that this Yue Cha Ju is actually an industry under Xu Jin's name, but there are very few people who know, there is a small courtyard behind Yue Cha Ju, there are a total of three rooms, which are usually mainly used as warehouses, and now one of the rooms is still lit up, and there are four men with big shoulders and round waists guarding outside the room.
"Dashuai, Jin Qianhu and Sima Baihu are here!" Zhao Datou came to the door to report.
"Come in!" A familiar voice came out of the room, calm mixed with a faint majesty.
Jin Biao and Sima Yuan looked neat, subconsciously tidied up their clothes, and then solemnly pushed the door and walked in. I saw three candles lit on the lampholder, illuminating the room as bright as day, a handsome scholar with red lips and white teeth was sitting behind the desk, wearing a white robe, wearing a square scarf, his temperament was as calm as ever, and he was looking over with a smile.
Jin Biao and Sima Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to salute, and said in unison, "See Lord Governor." ”
After the book case, this scholar is naturally Xu Jin, the governor of Zhili and the general of Pingyu, in fact, he has entered the city yesterday afternoon, but he has been hiding here and has not appeared, and there are only a handful of people who know that he is here.
Xu Jin smiled and said, "Two of you are exempt, sit down!" ”
Jin Biao and Sima Yuan stood up, but did not sit down, but stood respectfully in front of Xu Jin's case. Seeing this, Xu Jin was not reluctant, and directly cut to the topic: "Jin Qianhu, Sima Baihu, can you find out what the official asked you to investigate?" ”
Jin Biao immediately said: "Lord Huixu, there are already eyebrows, a thousand households of the Yaowu Camp Li Mo is now hiding in Guo Xun's mansion, so the loss of Guangning Gate should be related to Guo Xun." ”
Xu Jin's face couldn't help but sink, as he expected, the loss of Guangning Gate was indeed related to Guo Xun!
It is said that Xu Jin received the news that the outer city of the capital had been breached on the third night of the first month of October, so he asked the messenger in detail about the capture of the outer city, and he immediately became suspicious after hearing it.
You must know that I answered the strong attack on Xizhi Gate and Desheng Gate, and did not fight for more than half a month, how could it be possible to suddenly break through the Guangning Gate in the middle of the night in the third watch, even if it is a sneak attack, it is impossible to have this effect, unless the officers and soldiers defending the city are pigs, I am afraid that even pigs will not be able to sleep so dead.
When Xu Jin learned that it was the Yaowu Battalion that guarded the Guangning Gate, his suspicions became even heavier, and the first thing he thought of was Guo Xun, because Guo Xun was the governor of the Yaowu Battalion.
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Xu Jin immediately decided to sneak back to the capital with twenty of his own soldiers, while the army was handed over to Wang Shouren to lead the north.
So Xu Jin secretly entered the city yesterday afternoon, but he didn't make a noise to avoid beating the Caojing snake, and even Xie Xiaowan didn't know that Xu Jin was in the city at the moment.
