Chapter 173: The Battle of Gaotang Prefecture (15)
Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin left an ancestral motto: soldiers and horses from other places are not allowed to enter the city, and violators will be punished as rebellion! ”
Gao Lian, as the Taishou of Gaotang Prefecture, could not know this ancestral teaching, but as soon as he coveted the people in front of him, he desperately wanted to leave it, in case of any rebellion in the future, his own life would be guaranteed, and he would not have to wait for Gao Yu from Bianjing to send reinforcements; Second, Gao Yu can indeed be called a powerful government and opposition in this era, except for Cai Jing, others don't want to fight against him, with the palace marshal's mansion captain on top, his incorruptible behavior is naturally no taboo.
Gao Lian's move was nothing in his own opinion, but in Wei Bao's opinion, it was too unbelievable, until the moment the city gate was opened, his boss's mouth was still open there, looking at the door of the city gate and being stunned, Hao Siwen on the side saw that the leopard had not moved for a long time, urged the horse to take a few steps forward, and stretched out his hand behind him and twisted it fiercely.
Suddenly, a heart-piercing pain directly brought Wei Bao back to reality, and he was about to lose his temper towards Hao Siwen, not wanting Hao Siwen to quietly speak to him, he suddenly woke up, he was still outside Gaotang Prefecture, and he could only press his anger into his stomach at the moment, and waved his big hand, "The whole army enters the city!" ”
It's just that at the moment of entering the city, Wei Bao couldn't help but complain to Hao Siwen softly, "Brother Hao, your hand is too heavy, can't it be lighter?" How is it like my mother-in-law! ”
The black line on Hao Siwen's forehead is straight up, what does it mean to be like your mother-in-law, but it is inconvenient for him to have a seizure here and now, so he can only skip this section and say softly: "Brother Wei, the success or failure of Liangshan is on you and me, and the ...... after entering the city" Hao Siwen didn't say it explicitly, just glanced at Wei Bao.
Wei Bao understood and nodded slightly, "Don't worry, brother, I'm saving, hehe...... Cheap, expensive! ”
Wei Bao's men and horses were not far from the city, and it didn't take much effort to get to the city gate, Gao Lian saw that Wei Bao had already entered the city, and immediately walked down from the city with joy, and made up his mind that he would definitely be good to Wei Bao for a while, and he couldn't let him go.
It is also Gao Lian's fate destined to have this catastrophe, whether it is Junchen or Zhu Wu, they have thought of many ways to deal with the interrogation, and they all feel that there is a possibility of being recognized, and even thought about waiting until the dead of night, let Shi Qian secretly open it and sneak into the city, but they can't imagine it anyway, the most difficult step in their eyes is to succeed without any effort, if the two of them are here, I am afraid that they can only look up and sigh.
When Wei Bao walked through the doorway, it happened that Gao Lian walked down from the city, he saw Wei Bao walking in front of him on a horse, he was immediately happy, and hurriedly waved to Wei Bao, "General Huyan, you and I are really fateful, the general just entered the city, I came down from the city, isn't it that the heavens are saying that the general and Gao should have the blessing of being officials in the same place!" ”
Gao Lian's words and the affectionate eyes made Wei Bao tremble unconsciously, and suddenly felt goosebumps straight up and down his body, but he could only grit his teeth and nod there, and secretly reached out to pull out the golden hammer on his side.
It also happened that Xue Yuanhui came down from the city tower one step late, and he happened to see Wei Bao's secret action, "It's bad!" This is not a reinforcement from the imperial court! Xue Yuanhui chuckled in his heart, but this would be a little far away from Gao Lian, and it was too late to save him, so he shouted directly, "Who are you!" What do you want to do! ”
"Hey! I'm quite knowledgeable, now that I've found out, what are you waiting for, brothers, kill me! Wei Bao didn't have the embarrassment of being exposed at all, and directly pulled out the golden hammer, and according to the soldiers around him, he directly broke him in two.
Hao Siwen saw that Wei Bao was about to do it, and he shook his head speechlessly, according to his thoughts, at least he would wait for most of the people to enter the city, but he didn't expect that many people and horses had already handed over before they came in, and he could only dance the spear in his hand and command the men and horses to seize the important places in the city.
Gao Lian didn't know that he had been deceived by Liang Shan to open the city gate, and he was at a loss and immediately sat on the ground, babbling straight in his mouth, "How should this be!" "Finally, Xue Yuanhui still has some ability, while commanding the men and horses to meet the battle, he picked up Gao Lian from the steps of the city tower, and directly carried him to a place where there were no swords and soldiers for the time being.
It's just that Xue Yuanhui also knew in his heart that the soldiers and horses of Liangshan had already come in, so the fall of Gaotang Prefecture was only a matter of time, listening to the sound of shouting and killing at the city gate getting weaker and weaker, and the sound of shouting and killing began to gradually appear around the city, he was even more anxious in his heart, and said eagerly towards Gao Lian: "My lord, now that the thieves have entered the city, if you don't leave now, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave if you want to!" ”
As soon as he heard "I can't go", Gao Lian stood up with a "rub", no matter how greedy he was for power, but deep down, he was still very afraid of death, hearing Xue Yuanhui say this, he quickly nodded, "Yes, let's go immediately, let's go!" ”
It's just that he only ran a few steps, and then glanced back at Xue Yuanhui suspiciously, "General Xue, you will always protect this mansion!" ”
Xue Yuanhui has followed Gao Lian for so many years, where can he not hear the meaning of his words, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "My lord, the villain swears to protect the adult to fight a bloody way and escort the adult back to Bianjing." ”
Gao Lian wanted his words, nodded with satisfaction, and was about to say anything more, when he saw the head of the Gaotang Prefecture Prison running over in a panic, Gao Lian said with a displeased face: "What are you panicking, it's just a small group of thieves, you can't turn the sky, since you are here, go to the prison to bring Chai Jin, and the mansion will take him on the road with you!" ”
The principal and Xue Yuanhui were dumbfounded when they heard it, they had never heard of it when they were about to flee for their lives, and they thought about bringing more people, and soon the principal reacted, jumped to his feet and said: "My lord, you should leave quickly, don't think about Chai Jin again, just as you left, a few people in black broke into the prison and robbed Chai Jin!" ”
"What!" For Gao Lian, this news is like a drowning person getting a rotten straw rope, thinking that he can still be rescued, but what he got is a greater disappointment, in a hurry, Gao Lian trembled and pointed to the main thing, and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Xue Yuanhui listened to the shouting and killing sound getting closer and closer, and knew that if he didn't leave, he really wouldn't be able to leave, "My lord, if you don't leave, you really can't leave!" The eager shout made Gao Lian sober up, turned around and left, only took a step, turned his head to look at Xue Yuanhui, and then quickly reached out and pulled it out from his waist, "poof" a knife, and stabbed the principal in the cross.
"Humph! I can't even look at myself, what do I want you for! Gao Lian threw the bloody steel knife in his hand to the ground, looked at Xue Yuanhui, who was stunned beside him, and frowned: "What, don't you hurry up and leave?" ”
Xue Yuanhui came back to his senses, quickly shook his head, hurriedly picked up the steel knife on the ground, and escorted Gao Lian towards the most remote small door.
It's just that Gao Lian's official uniform is really conspicuous, and he didn't go far before he was looked at by the sharp-eyed Liangshan soldiers, "Gao Lian is over there!" ”
A high-pitched cry came, staggering Gao Lian, turning his head to look, he saw countless soldiers armed with knives and guns coming towards this side, Gao Lian grabbed Xue Yuanhui's arm, "General Xue, how should this be?" ”
What can Xue Yuanhui do, he smiled bitterly, "My lord, you run quickly!" Let the Admiral do your best one last time! Forcefully pushed Gao Lian's hand away, picked up the steel knife, and roared, and the steel knife in his hand stabbed directly into Gao Lian's abdomen with lightning speed.
"You ......" Gao Lian obviously didn't expect Xue Yuanhui to dare to do this, but the sharp pain in his abdomen was so real, he pointed at Xue Yuanhui with a trembling finger, his mouth was full of blood foam, and he couldn't say a word.
"Hehe...... Xue Yuanhui smiled cruelly, pulled the steel knife hard, and Gao Lian fell in a pool of blood, "My lord, this is no wonder of me, this is what you taught me, people are not for themselves, and the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!" ”
