Chapter 158 Even the chicken shall not enter-2

[☆ more. New. Most. Quick ☆ None. Play. Window ☆ Full. Exempt. Fei] Yonglong County to Ezhou, but 300 miles away, the warship along the Han River downstream, if it is a tailwind, one day and night can reach Ezhou. じじ

Since the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty Prime Minister's Mansion in Ezhou, the imperial court has made more efforts to renovate the post road extending in all directions, from Yonglong to Ezhou, the road along the coast was originally a smooth road, and the Ministry of Industry has taken advantage of the opportunity to strengthen the river embankment, paved the road and repaired the bridge on the river embankment in the south of the Han River, and created a more convenient and flat post road. The 3,000 cavalry led by Fan Qi marched along this post road, and the speed of the march even exceeded that of the sailing ships along the river.

The three thousand iron horsemen did not hesitate to roar all the way, and met the post station along the way, and without much explanation, they took the post guard into custody, threw the key into the grass, and the spare grain and grass were rolled up.

In this way, the advance went straight to Ezhou, just before the 'chicken' opened the city, Fan Qi ordered the cavalry to rest in the pear grove of Shilibao for a while.

At this time, the soldiers and civilians inside and outside the capital were still unaware of this cavalry. A small number of merchants who rested in the pear grove only thought that the imperial court was only mobilizing soldiers and horses, which was a common thing under the situation of Khitan troops pressing the border. Thanks to the wide dissemination of Di Bao news, even if the peddlers are pawns, they all know that today's situation is very different from Jingkangnian, the northern Bianliang, Daimyo and other Xiongcheng are still holding on, and the three major battalions in Jiangbei are also complete, especially the northern 'gate' Huxiangyang is still firmly in the hands of the Song army, Ezhou is still far away from the real war, and everyone is the same as usual, each doing their own business, and there is no sense of rumors. Not long after Fan Qi's headquarters rested on the pear forest, the Song army in Ezhou City was unaware, and some nearby vendors heard the news and sold fruits and cakes to the officials and soldiers. In order not to startle the snakes, Fan Qi only ordered his subordinates to drive these hawkers away and not talk to them. The three thousand horsemen seized the time to rest their horsepower and waited for the dawn to seize the city.

After several years of life and gathering, Ezhou at this time seems to have a flourishing capital atmosphere.

The sky was bright, and thousands of people had gathered outside the city gate.

In the middle of the carts that deliver food and firewood, the cars that exude the smell of ink to send the news of the Di Bao are particularly conspicuous, because the housing prices in Ezhou are expensive, most of the Di Bao news is printed outside the city, and they are sent to Ezhou on the same day, and then they are distributed to schools, schools, teahouses, docks, and post stations in various states and counties. Whether you can get a point of news from Ezhou every day is already one of the most important differences between the Qingliu gentry and the rich landowners. In this sense, the insight of the 'gate' guards in Ezhou City is worthy of a student in a remote state and county.

The morning breeze brings the smell of cooking smoke, and the cooking smoke in the capital carries an exceptionally stable taste.

In the pear grove less than ten miles away from the city gate, the cavalry had already prepared their horses, and after several hours of rest, the "spirit" of the men and horses had recovered a little.

The time has come to open the gates of the city.

"Your Excellency, General." The adjutant general said to Fan Qi with a complicated expression, "Please give the order." ”

"All on board." Fan Qi nodded, turned over and sat on the back of the horse first, he looked around at the subordinates who had mounted the horse, and put on the iron helmet. Although he was just a rough man, at this time, Fan Qi's mood was also a little complicated. After all, it was an attack on the capital of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Soldiers, noble and fast!" He forced himself to calm his mind and ordered in a deep voice, "Take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and rush into the city through the west 'gate' together." The first battalion guarded the west 'gate', the second, third, and fourth battalions followed me to protect His Majesty, and Li Quan took the fifth and sixth battalions to attack the prime minister's mansion. ”

"Obey!" The battalion commanders replied in a low voice, and each of them made a 'handover' to the centurion.

The atmosphere in the pear grove was somewhat oppressive, and the cavalrymen were silent as they finally checked their harness and blades. It's all on this, even if it's not without hesitation, there's no turning back.

"Driving-" Fan Qi shouted with a calm face, whipped hard, and the war horse neighed in pain, and its hooves flew over.

Three thousand cavalrymen followed behind the general one after another, rushing out of the woods like a whirlwind, onto the wide road, and the western 'gate' of Ezhou was in sight.

Ezhou is the first good district under the rule of the Prime Minister's House, when Shen, the west 'door' five 'door' 'hole' has all been opened, the middle three 'door' and 'hole' are open to traffic horses, both sides of the 'door' and 'hole' pass pedestrians, each city 'gate' mouth stands with three people to see the 'door', a simple check on the road guide will be released, regardless of pedestrians, cars and horses, when passing through the 'door' and 'hole', throw one into the bamboo basket when the ten treasures. The "tide" of people at the gate of the city is surging, but it flows into the city in an orderly manner. Because of this, when the roaring hooves of horses were heard in the west, the people waiting in the city turned their heads curiously. "So majestic, so evil!" "Which battalion is this?" Some whispered. "If you storm the city gate without authorization, you are not afraid of impeachment?" "It can't be a Khitan, right?" "Nonsense, it's obviously the banner of the king, besides, the Khitan people still have thousands of miles!" From the top of the city, the three thousand cavalry were in the dark, and they still did not have the slightest intention of slowing down their horses when they approached the city gate, and their hostility was not concealed at all. At this time, no matter how sluggish the city head was, they all felt a chill from the bottom of their hearts, but the defenders were still at a loss. The few 'gates' guarding outside the city didn't even have time to resist, so they were swept aside by the galloping horse team, let alone closing the 'gates' of the city.

"If you don't want to die, get out of the way!" "Get out of the way—"

The chaotic horse's hooves stepped on the Ezhou stone road, the sound was deafening, and the cavalry waved their sabers loudly, shouting loudly, regardless of the bustling crowd on the street, and went straight to the prime minister's mansion.

Fan's wife: "Defend the holy car first!" Catch Deng Su's 'traitor' thief again! ”

"The Liao soldiers are here!" "Ouch-oh!" "It's not a Liao soldier, it's an official army!" "Whatever, the GI is here! Run—"

Along the way, everyone in the market panicked, and men and women fled on their own. Those who fell over their burdens and pushed them to the shed, the panicked shouts were mixed with the cries of wah, and the 'chaos' became a mess in all directions.

Ezhou is deep in the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty, since Zhongxing, the Liao army has never crossed the Yellow River, in recent years, the world has been peaceful, the people live and work in peace and contentment, which is expected to get the world all of a sudden 'chaos'.

The panic quickly spread in all directions, and the military department learned the news of the 'chaotic' army entering the city, and urgently reported to Prime Minister Deng Su, asking Jun Zhi's soldiers to dispatch eight battalions of troops outside the city to enter the city to quell the 'chaos', while grabbing the people and horses in the city, and building street fighting barricades on the streets around the prime minister's mansion. The rebel soldiers have rushed into the city, and the transfer of troops outside the city still needs to be twisted, and the city guards stationed in the city are scattered in the military camps of various squares, and they can hastily mobilize only the three battalions of firecrackers stationed next to the military headquarters.

The rebel cavalry had already rushed into Suzaku Street, and at the same time, in the inner wing of the Prime Minister's Signing Room, Deng Su received an urgent report, and immediately stayed in the local area, his face was like ashes, and he was silent for a long time.

His eyes were wide open, his eyes were bloodshot, and he planned the Henan military salary last night until the second watch, and then reviewed the folds, and it was not until the fourth watch that he slept in the signing room. I didn't expect that at the moment when the great enemy was at present, the Liao army was still thousands of miles away, and there were actually people from the Great Song Dynasty who rebelled? Is this a troublemaker, or is it a plot to cause chaos? Rao is based on the wisdom of Deng Su and the depth of the city, and he can't help but be stunned for a while.

"The situation of ZTE is good, is it going to be ruined in one fell swoop?! Sinners through the ages! Thinking of this, Deng Su only felt that his throat was sweet, his mind was dizzy, and he had to hold on to the person next to him before he could stand firmly.

"Prime Minister," said Lan Shaozhong urgently, "the rebels are strong, do you want to retreat outside the city for a while?" ”

Deng Su woke up from a trance, came back to his senses, and looked at Lan Shaozhong with blazing eyes, the rebels suddenly came to the city, and the staff of the military department was derelict in his duties anyway, however, looking at Lan Shaozhong with an anxious face. Color' doesn't seem to be fake, Deng Su sighed, who can do nothing, Lan Shaozhong has his cultivation, from an ordinary Jinlian Mansion officer to the chief agent of the staff of the secret agent, it has only been less than two years, whether it is Lan Shaozhong, or he Deng Su, the foundation is indeed too shallow, from a few days ago to use thunder to deter all parties, and now the rebels rushed into Ezhou without warning, it is also a cause and effect.

"Which banner is the 'chaotic' army that entered the city?" Regaining his senses, countless thoughts flashed through Deng Su's mind.

When the whole country is resisting Liao, who will be so profitable? Could it be that it is really a thief who lured the wolf into the house?

"The banner is not clear yet," Lan Shaozhong said ashamedly, "However, the 'chaotic' army shouted 'Qingjun side, support Emperor Zhao', I guess, it may be Cao Tai."

"Ten **, it's an old thief!" Deng Su interrupted him, and his face was 'pale', "I never thought that the old thief would be so stubborn, he made a mistake and a mistake for the country!" ”

"That's what my lord said." Lan Shaozhong nodded, took a step forward, and said, the old thief has been planning for a long time, and now the prime minister is still avoiding his edge for the time being."

Deng Su heard the words and groaned for a while, and before he could make a decision, there was a sudden loud bang outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, "bang" and "bang" sounded like firecrackers during the New Year.

Deng Su seemed to be taken aback, trembled, and looked up at Lan Shaozhong. "This is the platoon of the forbidden army," Lan Shaozhong listened for a moment, his face was even more worried, and he said: "The 'chaotic' soldiers are on the east side of Suzaku Street, only three streets away from the Prime Minister's Mansion. Deng Su nodded, and was 'about to speak', when suddenly, there was a sound of guns in the other direction, and Lan Shaozhong's face was 'pale', and he exclaimed: "There are also 'chaotic' soldiers in the south, and the wolf is ambitious, this is for Lord Xianggong, if you don't leave, it will be too late, and let the last general escort the adult out of the city for temporary refuge." Deng Su's face was slightly gloomy, but Lan Shaozhong didn't wait for him to speak, so he forcibly pulled him out of the signing room, and there was already a circle of scribes outside.

Lan Shaozhong ignored them, and only pulled Deng Su and strode out.

"Wait," Deng Su forcibly stopped, he looked around at everyone, sighed, and said in a deep voice: "Now that someone has troops to plot 'chaos', General Lan will escort Benxiang out of the city, and there are still 40,000 soldiers and horses available in the eight battalions outside the city." If you are willing to follow your own situation, you can go with me to gather soldiers and horses outside the city to quell the 'chaos', if you 'want' to protect yourself, while the 'chaos' soldiers have not yet invaded the prime minister's mansion, and disperse into the people as soon as possible. They are all the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and if the 'chaotic' thieves have a trace of conscience, they will not 'chaotic' kill the officials and people in the city. After speaking, he calmly looked at the scribes, his eyes returned to a clear 'color', and there was no longer the frightened appearance just now. At this time, there was a sudden loud noise in the east, "boom-" and the dead branches and dust on the eaves of the Prime Minister's Mansion were shaken and fell.
