Chapter 48

"No, don't do this..."

Erlai just walked to the door and was hit by a sharp and sharp short sword.W√w   W      .

★8★1    z     W★.

★CoM He hurriedly raised his hands and retreated.

The soldiers who were gambling were stunned. After a moment of hesitation, they all grabbed the sword and surrounded him. The one who hijacked Erlai was a thin masked man with a slender waist and a hand that was enough to hold, but the pair of flesh balls on his chest were bulging and eye-catching.

"Tell them to open the city gate." The person who spoke was indeed a woman. Her tone was cold and could not be questioned.

"Brothers, for our past relationship, save my brother, open the door, and open the city gate quickly." Erlai bowed and said to the soldiers with great pain.

Without orders, he opened the city gate with sixty sticks without authorization. The white and black characters in the military rules were clearly clear. But seeing that his life was not guaranteed, someone still walked outside.

"No one can open the door." A young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes standing in the corner suddenly said coldly. The soldier who had originally planned to open the door immediately looked like a clay sculpture when he heard this and did not dare to move. The young man who spoke was Zhang Cheng, a distant relative of Mengchang. He currently lives in the position of the lieutenant of the lieutenant. The lieutenant is the second in command of the city patrol camp and is responsible for guarding the four gates of Yongfeng City.

The masked man was shocked when he saw Zhang Cheng, threw Er Lai away and ran out. As soon as he left the door, he was blocked by four guards. Zhang Cheng jumped to her side, reached out and snatched the short sword in her hand. Surprisingly, the masked man did not resist at all, and seemed to have no martial arts skills. The soldiers tied him up.

"Mrs. Third Madam, I've been watching you for a long time." After taking off the masked man's face towel, everyone was amazed. The masked man turned out to be the newly-seen concubine Liuyun of Mengchang.

"Hmph, you can make money in the city too?" Zhang Cheng sneered.

Erlaise stared at Liuyun's chest in a daze, swallowing his saliva with greed. Zhang Cheng pushed him with a hand and scolded, "No one can deal with it, what's the use of raising you?"

"The general taught me a lesson, General is smart." Erlai nodded and flattered.

"Tonight someone is going to raid the governor's mansion and murder the governor. Liuyun is their inner support. At this time, there are hundreds of rebels hidden outside the city, waiting for Liuyun to open the door for them." Zhang Cheng seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with him. After saying that, he looked at the soldiers who were glaring at his pocket, and he smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? The governor has seen through their conspiracy! You go open the city gate and just let them in. Let's catch the turtle in the jar."

Er Lai raised his thumbs up and praised: "General, general is really smart. When they enter the urn city, we will have thousands of arrows..."

"Wan's your mother!" Erlai didn't finish his words, and Zhang Cheng was slapped on the head several times.

"Listen, let them go into the city, no one is allowed to say anything, let alone shoot arrows. Violators will be engaged in military law!"

Everyone shouted in unison, "Yes!"

At the fourth update, the south gate of Yong'an City quietly opened, and a soldier waved towards the south with a lantern. Seeing this code, the soldiers of Hengsai Town, who were already frozen in the snow, jumped up and rushed into the south gate.

The Yongfeng Governor's Mansion is two miles away from the south gate, and there is a need to pass through the Nandaying of the Tiande Right Army. It is late at night and it is almost impossible for more than 100 people to pass through the military camp gate without being noticed. Yang Hao did not expect this level in advance, and his heart was suddenly anxious.

At this time, three men and one woman came to the south gate. When the man saw Yang Hao, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Zhang Cheng will help you." Yang Haoxi said, "So you are Zhang Cheng. Why didn't you see you at the south gate just now?" Zhang Cheng pointed to Liuyun beside him and laughed: "I was going to kill the city gate to welcome him. It was Miss Liuyun who made a clever plan and broke the South Gate without blood." Yang Hao was happy in his heart, but asked Liuyun, "Miss, can you help me pass this level?"

Liuyun smiled and said, "This matter is easy. The Chief Secretary just takes people forward swaying. Everything will be handled by Zhang Cheng." Yang Hao thought for a moment and then invited the troops to follow the two of them and walked over. The guards of the Right Army suddenly saw a group of people coming from the street and immediately blocked the way. Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "Brothers, don't misunderstand, we are from the governor's mansion."

The leader of the leader recognized Zhang Cheng and said in confusion: "What is the reason why Captain Zhang brought so many people in the middle of the night?" Zhang Cheng sighed, so he took the captain aside and whispered a few words in his ear. The captain was full of shock, and turned his head to look at Liuyun, looked at Yang Hao and his party, nodded and said, "Where is the responsibility of the humble position, please don't blame Captain Zhang for disturbing." After saying that, he drank his subordinates and let everyone go.

Yang Hao was curious and asked what Zhang Cheng said to the whistleblower. Zhang Cheng smiled and replied, "I told him that Miss Liuyun is the concubine of Governor Meng. Because she was beaten, she escaped from the city in anger. She was taken away by you overnight and sent it back. Are you going to ask for rewards?" After Zhang Cheng said that, he looked at Liuyun maliciously and laughed. Yang Hao didn't know what the relationship between the two of them was, and he had no intention of asking. At this time, the doubt in his heart was where the fifty soldiers hiding in the city were?

The attack on the Yongfeng Governor's Mansion was extremely smooth. What was incredible is that except for setting up three fixed posts at the gate, the rest of the Governor's Mansion guards hid in the room to gamble. Yang Hao easily disarmed everyone. Then, under the guidance of Zhang Cheng, he rushed into Mengchang's bedroom.

Mengchang had just slept with her concubine, but when she saw Yang Hao lead her troops into the bedroom, she was furious and pointed at Yang Hao and cursed: "Little man! I took you in when you were desperate, but now you colluded with rebellion to murder me. Have your conscience been eaten by the dog?" Yang Hao was scolded by him and blushed and could not speak.

Zhang Cheng sneered, "Don't say this. Now the eunuchs are in power and the court is in chaos. It is the time for the ministers to serve the country. But you are greedy for the wealth of a family and ignore the world. Is this what loyal ministers do? Now Yang Changshi has his own friendship and justice, which is what kind of gentlemen do. You are still shameless and cursed, so where is your conscience?"

Mengchang sneered, "It's another ungrateful wolf. When you and your mother fled from Hedong to Yongfeng. If I hadn't taken in you and your son, you would have starved to death on the streets. You said I was greedy for the wealth of a family? Then I ask you, what did you mean by colluding with outsiders to harm me? Are you still trying to seek wealth and honor?"

Yang Hao said: "It is understandable to be fame and wealth in the world. But if you destroy the righteousness of the world for your own selfishness, it is not done by a gentleman. Now that the eunuchs are in power and the court is in ruins, how can you ignore it as an important minister in the court? When Yang Hao was in trouble, he was taken in by the general, and this kindness would never be forgotten. Now he is disrespectful to the general for the sake of major events, and Yang Hao should apologize for the future." After Yang Hao said that, he signaled the left and right guards to take Mengchang down.

Mengchang shook off the guard and shouted, "The pedantic man! Now there is a world, what nonsense about loyalty to the emperor and serving the country! You come from Chang'an, when you should know how many people will be frozen to death on both sides of Chang'an Street after a heavy snowfall? How many people in Guanzhong have to eat and not cover their bodies? Look at the three places in Fengzhou, where the people live and work in peace and have enough food and clothing. You said you should be loyal to the emperor, but that king has long been foolish, and the people under his rule have already become in dire straits and suffering. Do you still have to be stubborn and foolish and loyal to him?"

Yang Hao was shocked when he heard this. Zhang Cheng suddenly roared loudly and slashed at Mengchang. Mengchang screamed, covered his face and fell to the ground, and blood was flowing. Seeing that he was not dead, Zhang Cheng stabbed him with his knife, and Yang Hao caught his arm. Zhang Cheng shouted, "Mengchang spoke out, when will he not kill him?" Yang Hao advised: "He is the old master of Yongfeng, and killing him will lose his heart!"

When Zhang Cheng heard this, he gave up.

After detaining Mengchang, Yang Hao invited Lu Benzhong, deputy general of the commander-in-chief of the Tiande Right Army, to the governor's office to discuss the major plan. Lu Ben was nearly fifty years old and was an old general of the Right Army. He was cautious and polite. He naturally understood what "discussing the major plan together", so he refused on the grounds of physical discomfort, and secretly ordered the battalions to guard the door. Just like a hedgehog, he opened his thorns all over his body, and did not want to hurt people or be hurt.

There were 6,800 people in the Tiande Right Army, 3,200 people stationed in Yongfeng City, of which 1,800 were stationed in the city, and the remaining 1,400 were stationed in various passes outside the city. As soon as the rebellion of the governor's mansion occurred, Lu Benzhong received news. General Chen Lin advised him to lead his army to quell the rebellion, but he rejected it on the spot. However, he adopted another suggestion from Chen Lin and sent troops to take over the defense of the East Gate, West Gate and North Gate on the grounds of preventing the Uighur invasion. At the same time, the garrison of Changqing Town in the south of the city was transferred to the garrison of five miles south of the city.

Yang Hao could understand Lu Benzhong's mentality of watching and watching the fence. He also understood that as long as Meng Bochang could successfully take Fengzhou, Lu Benzhong would soon turn around. Otherwise, he would immediately block the south gate, surround the governor's mansion, and throw himself into prison in the name of clearing out the rebellion party. Mengchang was a card in his hand, but it was not a big card, nor was it a shield. If Meng Bochang failed, there was only one way to die.

Thank God, just as the first day of the first lunar month was dawn, good news came one after another: First, Meng Bochang and Han Sui worked together to capture Fengzhou, and then Han Sui and Liu Yifeng seized Feng'an and Jiuniang Pass. Zhang Yannian divided his troops into three groups and successfully took over the defense of Hengsai, Wu Feng and Changqing. Everything was safe. Zeng Chongyang was the descendant of Tiande Army and the governor of Fengzhou in Fengzhou. He appointed Meng Bochang to lead the general of Tiande Right Army, appointed Han Sui as the general of Tiande Left Army, and appointed Liu Yifeng as the governor of Feng'an and Feng'an Defense Envoy. Yang Hao was still his chief of Yongfeng and did not receive any promotion.

The chief minister was the assistant to the prefectures and counties. The governor could not take matters, so he was naturally represented by the chief minister. This was in line with the rules of the officialdom. Yang Hao, supported by Zhang Cheng and others, announced that he had officially taken over the government affairs of Yongfeng. As Yang Hao had guessed in advance, Lu Benzhong's illness suddenly recovered. He asked a hundred soldiers to wear red and green, carry cattle, mutton, wine and meat to the governor's mansion to pay New Year's greetings. He had a very happy chat with Yang Hao, and the atmosphere was as harmonious as if he had never given birth to anything at night.

The overall situation has been decided. Yang Hao did two things. First, he sent people back to Hengsai Town to pick up Qing'er. Second, he merged the former Yongfeng City Patrol Camp, Hengsai Town Patrol Camp, Yongfeng Supervisor Camp and the Guard of the Governor's Guard into the Yongfeng Patrol Camp. The number of patrol camps was less than 1,000, and he was mainly responsible for the public security, guards of the Governor's Mansion, and grain warehouses in Yongfeng City. In order to show friendship, Lu Benzhong gave some armed forces to the Patrol Camp, and even allocated a military camp in the north of the city to the Patrol Camp.

Yang Hao really wanted to appoint Hou Jie, the former infantry army of Hengsai Town, to serve as the commander of the patrol battalion, but Hou Jie was like a steamed man in the world, and disappeared without a trace with his fifty soldiers.
