Xia Nan thought that he would definitely not be able to sleep at the moment, and should be in the study or hall, so he went to the study to try his luck.
On the way, he met a few personal soldiers guarding him, and Bai Lian silently struck his palm, slapping his neck, and immediately lost consciousness and fell down softly, without making the slightest movement. Outside the study, the lights were bright, and several figures swayed on the window paper under the illumination of the candlelight.
The three of them quietly came to the door, Xia Nan stretched out his finger to dip some saliva and pierced the window paper, looked in through the hole, and found that there were only three people dressed as military generals, thinking that it should be Geng Zhongming and others, so he pushed open the door and walked in directly.
In the room are Geng Zhongming, Chen Guangfu, Wang Zideng and others, they are all old people in Dongjiang Town, their status in Denglai Town is mediocre, and now the rebels are besieging the city, and they are even more suspicious of Sun Yuanhua, so the three of them gathered together to discuss what to do.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a young man walked in with two women. Geng Zhongming and the others were startled, drew their knives one after another, and shouted, "What person?" ”
"Don't be afraid, a few generals are entrusted by the two generals Kong and Li to bring a message." Xia Nan raised his hands and showed that he had no malicious intent.
Geng Zhongming didn't put down the knife, and asked vigilantly, "What kind of message did you bring?" ”
"Contact a few generals to open the city gate, enlarge the army to come in, and after the city is broken, we will participate in great things!" Xia Nan didn't go around the bend, and said the intention directly, but he was thinking in his heart: It's best that Geng Zhongming and the others don't believe it, and they have a reason to withdraw with Bailian, and then think of persuading Bailian to go with him to break into the governor's yamen after getting rid of the rebels outside the door.
Geng Zhongming turned his head to look at Chen Guangfu and Wang Zideng, their eyes were blank, and they obviously didn't react.
Geng Zhongming's mind turned sharply, could it be that this was Sun Yuanhua's strategy to test himself? The guards at the gate are the people of the Governor's Battalion, Zhang Tao's cronies, if they break in like this, they will definitely alarm the guards at the gate, and only with the Governor's Token can they not alarm the guards and break in quietly.
He looked at the three of them vigilantly, raised his knife, and said in a low voice: "I have the governor's pacesetter guarding my door, and there are my own personal soldiers patrolling outside the courtyard, how can you come in easily?" ”
Xia Nan didn't answer positively, turned her head to look at Bai Lian, and motioned for her to show her hand to deter these people. After these days of cooperation, the White Lotus master and apprentice have a tacit understanding with him and know what he means. Bai Lian raised her right hand, a hidden blade came out of her hand, nailed it to the roof beam, and then gently pulled, pulled it up with the help of her body, and jumped onto the beam.
Xia Nan really saw it this time, and sure enough, the Hidden Blade was connected to the arm with silk threads, but the silk threads were too thin, and if you didn't pay attention to it, you couldn't find it at all.
Geng Zhongming gasped, looked up, and blurted out: "This is light work?" ”
Xia Nan replied with a smile: "The general now knows how we got in, right?" ”
Geng Zhongming and several people all knew that Sun Yuanhua was the governor and a local member of the imperial court, and it was impossible for him to have such a strange person around him, so it was very likely that he was sent by Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng.
After shocking Geng Zhongming and the others, the white lotus fell lightly from the beam, and the Hidden Blade had long been hidden in the sleeve, as if this sword had never appeared.
After confirming the identity of the other party, Geng Zhongming's attitude changed a lot, and he pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Little brother, please take a seat!" ”
Xia Nan was also polite and sat next to Geng Zhongming. After he sat down, Geng Zhongming saw the two masters and apprentices of the White Lotus, and added: "Please sit down too!" ”
Bai Lian also sat down, but there was a strange feeling in her heart, obviously she was the main master, how did she feel that from the moment she entered the rebel army, she had become a role in running errands, and Xia Nan, who was supposed to be shouting on the side, became the one who took the idea.
Chen Guangfu couldn't wait to ask: "What did Kong Shen say about them?" Should the inside be combined with the outside, or should the city gates be opened directly? ”
"Guangfu!" Geng Zhongming stopped Chen Guangfu, so impatient seems to be too cheap, although they are all old people in Dongjiang Town, but the brothers still settle accounts, and they have to sell for a good price if they betray the court.
Xia Nan was not verbose, and directly cut to the topic: "I think this is General Geng Zhongming Geng?" The two generals, Kong and Li, asked me to bring a letter, that is, to let General Geng lead the old department of the Dongjiang River, find a way to open the city gate, let them enter the city, and take Dengzhou City in one fell swoop! ”
Since Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde got into trouble, the Dongjiang soldiers, who were not treated by the local military and civilians, had a more difficult life, Chen Guangfu and Wang Zideng were just a thousand generals, and they were not ranked in Dengzhou, and now they were still being suspected and monitored, and they were already indignant in their hearts.
Geng Zhongming pondered for a long time and did not open his mouth to answer, Chen Guangfu and Wang Zideng were so anxious that they fidgeted, but they did not dare to urge.
Seeing Geng Zhongming like this, Xia Nan knew that he must be willing in his heart, and he didn't answer for a long time, most likely because he was worried that there would not be much benefit after the city was broken, and he would be marginalized by Li and Kong. He was in a hurry to get out and find Sun Yuanhua, unwilling to waste time here, so he took the initiative to say: "General Li still has a saying, he said that you are all brothers of Dongjiang, after the city is broken, everyone will share the food, gold and silver in this city equally." ”
Chen Guangfu and Wang Zideng's eyes lit up, Geng Zhongming slapped the armrest of the seat hard, and shouted in a low voice: "It's done!" ”
In fact, Li Jiucheng didn't send anyone, and Geng Zhongming had already thought about how to contact Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde. With the outbreak of the rebellion, the life of the old people of Dongjiang in Dengzhou City became more and more difficult day by day.
Now that an agreement has been reached, the next step is to confirm the plan of action. Chen Guangfu proposed to open the south gate, the reason is that the rebels in front of the west gate have the largest number of troops, the north gate is connected to the water city, and it is easy to be attacked by the north wall of Dengzhou and the water city when entering the city, and the south gate is weaker than the west gate, and the rebels have the shortest distance from Mishen Mountain to the south gate.
Wang Zideng also felt that this was feasible, but Geng Zhongming was noncommittal.
Xia Nan thought about it, he couldn't let the rebels enter the city so easily, and he had to make a stumbling block, so he put forward his own suggestion: "The three generals, in the next feeling, if you want to hide the defenders of the city wall, you have to start at night, the distance between the south gate and the camp of Mishen Mountain is closer, which is conducive to the mobilization of the army at night, but it is also close to the west gate, and the defenders are easy to reinforce the south gate. "To be continued.
