Beside Cai Maode, all the staff, as well as his entourage, were all indignant, and a staff member said: "Cai Gong, by all means, these gentry and officials in Taiyuan have made it clear that Cai Gong will come out, and they will take advantage of the fishermen, and they will ......."

He gritted his teeth and snorted: "An Zhi is not a malicious person? If Cai Gong goes to this place, they can use the topic to play, if there is nothing to do, Taiyuan will be spared, they are really good at calculating. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Cai Maode shook his head: "Ben Fu, as the governor of Jin Town, guarding the township, is a matter of course, where the duty lies, how can he retreat?" ”

He said: "Even if the Taiyuan officials don't say anything to the people, I will also go." ”

Seeing this, the relatives couldn't persuade Cai Maode, so they had to say: "Then, the subordinates will go with Cai Gong." ”

Cai Maode shook his head: "No need, Ben Fu can go alone, I have worked with Yongning Hou, and I know that his subordinates are not indiscriminately killing innocent people." ”

He got down from the arch gate tower, rode a horse, and the gate guard trembled and opened the door a crack to let Cai Maode out of the door, and then with a bang, it quickly closed again.

Cai Maode looked back, smiled self-deprecatingly, and in the snow, he crossed the suspension bridge and rode forward.

The cold wind swept in and blew on his thin body, and the sleeves of his shirt fluttered, and he wanted to return with the wind.

……

"Taiyuan City is magnificent, its twenty-five eyes are on the first floor, Shenjing is not as good as it, and it is reckless and magnificent......"

Gao Shiyin was reading to the city, a gust of snow wind swept in, making the horses under his crotch uneasy to plow the ground, and snorted fiercely, Gao Shiyin pulled the reins hard, and scolded the war horse under him: "Dead horse, don't move, your brother is chanting poetry." ”

The horse neighed even more, and glanced back at Gao Shiyin. Clear eyes full of innocence.

Gao Shiyin immediately softened, stroked the horse's head, and said, "Okay, okay." I won't scold you, I know that you have suffered a lot recently, and when I get home, I will treat you well. ”

Li Guangheng laughed and said, "Brother Gao." It seems that the poem you chanted was said by Wang Shizhen when he set foot in Shanxi, and the document on the Intelligence Department. This is indicated. ”

Han Chao beside him, Li Yunshu and others were all laughing, the cold weather, their bare faces and other places were covered with thick oil, but they were still pulled out by the cold wind, but everyone was full of military experience, and they didn't care.

Gao Shiyin's face was not red. His heart didn't beat, and he said proudly: "I only said that I was chanting poetry, but I didn't say that I wrote this poem." ”

After Han Chao laughed, he let out a heavy breath of white air and looked at Taiyuan City in front of him. said: "Almost, the detailed work of the Intelligence Department in the city, there should be some action in the past two days, this day is freezing, we can't stay outside the city for a long time." ”

Everyone nodded, in order to move quickly and move the army, they all carried the fried noodles bags of the Jingbian Army, one of which could maintain the needs of a sergeant for fifteen days, even the officers and soldiers of Datong Town and Shanxi Town, who accompanied the army.

Considering the situation of the horses, Wang Dou also transferred a lot of horses for them to ride, and served them with a lot of cheese for the sergeants and horses to enjoy.

There were also a large number of mules and horses, carrying tents, dried meat and beans, etc.

Although the logistics department and the baggage battalion are in the rear, constantly transporting grain and grass, but after all, it is a simple marching system, which cannot be compared with the regular march in the past, and some horses have already fallen ill from exhaustion, and only by completing the seizure of Taiyuan City as soon as possible and obtaining a large number of seizures can we carry out actions against Taigu, Pingyang and other places.

Suddenly, Li Guangheng's expression moved, and he said, "Someone from the city has come out." ”

……

The cold wind was howling outside the tent, and inside the big tent, Cai Maode was sitting with Han Chao, Li Guangheng, Gao Shiyin and others, his expression was calm, and he was not disturbed by the army's surroundings, and he was drinking hot broth with taste.

Because the cooking car can't keep up, only an ordinary pot stove is used in front of me, a large pot, put in the drained meat pieces, salt, dried vegetables, dregs and other ingredients, boiling, cold weather, drink it, it is very comfortable.

In addition, Cai Maode also held a piece of cheese in his hand, chewed it slowly, and nodded from time to time.

Han Chao said with a smile: "The general said that this thing can quickly replenish calories and protein, and the general doesn't understand what it means, but I already have a large number of this thing in the Jingbian army for the use of people and horses." ”

Cai Maode nodded: "Yongning Hou's insight, Ben Fu has always admired. ”

Gao Shiyin gulped and drank the broth, and kept stuffing the fried noodles into his mouth, he looked at Cai Maode and said vaguely: "Isn't Cai Junmen a vegetarian?" How did you change it? ”

Cai Maode smiled and said: "General Gao, you are in power. ”

Gao Shiyin nodded: "It is good to be in power, Cai Junmen is too thin because he is a vegetarian, so he has to eat more meat." ”

They spoke, only Li Yunshu and the others next to them were silent.

Everyone was full of food and drink, and Cai Maode took the hot tea served by Han Chao himself, and said with a smile: "Thank you, General Han." ”

He took a sip of hot tea, put the teacup in his hand, and said, "Generals, can you stop fighting and lead the army to retreat?" ”

Li Yunshu and the others, avoiding his eager gaze, Han Chao smiled and shook his head: "Cai Gong, you know, this is impossible. ”

He said: "The profiteers scourge the East Road, especially the enemy and betray the country, the general is furious, only with the blood of the profiteers, can we wash away the anger of the army and people on the East Road." ”

He also said: "Gong Cai also knows that our army has a lot of evidence in its hands, all kinds of documents, shocking, this time, not only the general, but also the governor of Ji and Governor Zhu, all agreed to the order to raid the house. ”

Cai Maode sighed: "I know all this. ”

He sighed: "The situation in the Ming Dynasty is like this, it can't be changed, it's just that Xuanda is heavy, and he boldly leads troops to come, can you give someone a handle?" I'm afraid that the Marquis of Yongning will be in a hurry, and the lower officials will be worried......"

He shook his head.

Han Chao said calmly: "The last general will act according to the order, but compared with the rest of the Ming Dynasty and the east road, the last general thinks that my general is doing the right thing." ”

Cai Maode was silent, what he said with Han Chao was actually two ideological concepts, in the words of later generations, Wang Dou was a rapid progressive, Cai Maode was a moderate, and in the end, he would not fight for a tall and ugly person, especially Han Chao and others were just acting on orders.

He groaned for a while: "The city of Taiyuan is tall and thick, and there are many soldiers......

Han Chao smiled and said: "Cai Gong knows, my Jingbian Army has never fought uncertain battles. ”

Cai Maode immediately understood that the East Road was in the city, and he had heard of the power of Wang Dou's Intelligence Division, so he must have already arranged manpower. and they shall go down to this city.

He muttered, "If this city is opened from within......"

Han Chao understood what he meant and said, "There will definitely be some confusion. When the army takes the opportunity to enter the city, it will also affect some officials and generals, and kill some rebel soldiers and civilians. ”

Cai Maode stroked the Buddha beads on his wrist for a long time, and finally sighed: "That's it." The old man tried his best to open the city gate, but everyone, be sure to promise the old man. Less killing, especially not to affect the innocent, the old man hopes that this matter can pass as soon as possible. ”

Han Chao said: "Cai Gong can rest assured, when he was in Liaodong, Cai Gong knew the military discipline of our division. ”

Then a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "We are only targeting profiteers, of course." In the event of a siege by the army and civilians, our soldiers will not show mercy, let alone wait to be killed! ”

Cai Maode sighed, some people in the city do not resist. It's impossible.

Looking at Cai Maode, Han Chao said with concern: "Cai Gong opened the city gate, can he ...... your official position?"

Cai Maode said calmly: "The situation is like this, what is a personal position?" ”

……

On the sixth day of the lunar month, at that time, the Yichun Gate of Taiyuan City, the Yinghui Gate suddenly opened, the suspension bridge was lowered, and then the Jingbian army outside the city took the opportunity to rush in, quickly control the two city gates, and the follow-up army, at the same time, rolled into the city, and quickly seized the other city gate points.

Taiyuan City was in chaos, many merchants and people on the street, military residents, stunned to look at the iron cavalry army from several directions, purging into the city, listening to the neat roar coming from afar, all of them panicked and avoided, not knowing what to do.

There were also many people waiting, crying out angrily: "Who is it, who opened the gates?" ”

In the chaos, they hurriedly organized, pulled some officers and soldiers, and incited some civilians in an attempt to prevent the army from entering the city.

Gao Shiyin led the soldiers of the forward battalion to enter from Yinghui Gate, not far from Zhengzhong Street, and his subordinates reported that in those places of Xindao Street, Bugong Street, and Yuanxi Street, there were many people who were surging in under black pressure, all armed with knives, guns and sticks.

Led by some of the long histories of the Jin Palace, there are also things to serve the affairs of the Tai Supervisor.

The military horses entering the city have sent people to issue an order, and the whole city is immediately under martial law, these guys don't listen or speak, and dare to come to intercept them, which is really a bear's heart and a leopard's guts.

Gao Shiyin roared angrily: "Death to those who stand in the way!" ”

He shouted, "Dismount and prepare for battle!" ”

"Chase away the thieves on the East Road!"

"I am the eunuch of the Jin Palace, who dares to do it?"

"The king fights the dog thief, is he bold and reckless, do you dare not take the vassal king in his eyes?"

The crowds of people on all streets continued to gather, and a few fat or thin eunuchs walked at the front of the flow of people with their toes proud.

Behind them, there was a huge flow of people, soldiers, residents, merchants, students, officials, gentry, ruffians, and family members, who usually despised and resented these eunuchs, but now, they have become the backbone.

Because these people represent the King of Jin!

No matter how unscrupulous Wang Dou is, does he dare to do anything to the representative of King Jin?

Therefore, there were more and more crowds behind them, and the more powerful the crowd became, the more courageous they became, and even if some people saw the hat army in front of them, they were already in full battle, holding black bird guns at them, and the crowd still strode in.

At the moment when they were not far from the platoon formation and their momentum reached its peak, they heard an angry roar from ahead: "Shoot! ”

"Bang bang!"

The sound of bursting beans rang out one after another, and the white mist fired by the primer spread in the array, and then the people in front of them burst into a cloud of blood mist!

The crowd was stunned, and the swaggering eunuchs, even more incredulously, stroked the place where they had been shot, and then touched their mouth and nose, which was also shocked and bleeding, and then the incomparable pain came, and they fell to the ground and rolled and howled.

"Shoot!"

The front row of bird soldiers retreated, and the second row of bird soldiers ruthlessly pulled the board machine on the crowd in front.

The deafening sound rang out again, and another mist of blood rose.

Those who were shot were stunned, then incredulous, and finally fell to the ground, crying desperately.

"Shoot!"

"Bang bang!"

The pungent smoke of gunpowder passed through the cold air, more white smoke spread, and the smell of blood began to spread in all directions.

"Ahh

"Murdered ......"

The crowd finally reacted, and they screamed, with a loud bang, and fled in all directions, like birds and beasts.

"March!"

The soldiers of the forward battalion passed over the corpses of the dead eunuchs on the ground and pressed forward.

Their military boots, stepping on the bluestone street, a neat roar. (To be continued.) )
