Chapter 709: Outbreak(1/2)
The night is still hot and the afternoon is hot, and the door is open and the moon is bright.
In the deep bamboo, dense insects chirping in the dense bamboos, there is a slight coolness that is not the wind.
It is already July, and the weather in Bashu is already very uncomfortable.
Summer is also the most frequent season for snakes, insects, rats and ants to move.
Zhao Zhi stood in the house, looking at the dark street outside the window, listening to the sound of insects outside the yard, his restless heart slightly calmed down.
Baidi City is actually a large military camp, but there are no military tents, but instead they become houses.
The generals lived in separate rooms and in the central building complex of the city, while the rest of the soldiers lived in the military residence, which could accommodate more than a dozen people, or even dozens of people.
Many military houses are combined into one, and there are also low walls outside. According to the design, if there are spies and spies in the city, the low wall can separate the military camp from other buildings. People in the military house can use it as a defense. If it is arson, the fire will also be blocked by it.
Strictly speaking, Baidi City is not very similar to a traditional Chinese city in one aspect, but more like a medieval castle in the West.
There is a residential area to the north of Baidi City, where ordinary people live, and all the people living in Baidi City are military soldiers.
There is a large amount of food accumulated in Baidi City, and its land is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If you want to enter Baidi City, you must go through the water.
Usually, Baidi City communicates with the people in the north through ships, and the defenders of Baidi City also left more than a dozen soldiers on duty in the houses in the north.
There is a dimness in the house, making it impossible to see the scene in the house.
Zhao Zhi was still standing in front of the window and staring at Baidi City under the dark curtains.
The bright moon slowly moved, and the cold moonlight fell into Zhao Zhi's house.
This time, Zhao Zhi's house was no longer as empty as before. Five soldiers holding ring-headed swords, wearing military uniforms and yellow turbans were standing in the house.
A man standing in the center, standing in front of everyone.
The moonlight falls on the blade and then flows on the ground, reflecting the sword light as bright as a pool of autumn water.
"Qian Baihu, have all arranged it?"
Zhao Zhi turned around, withdrew his gaze from the window, slowly walked to the general standing in front of him, and asked in a low voice.
"Most of the prisoners in the East Province live in the east outside the city, where only half a team of Yizhou troops were stationed. During the banquet, I sent twenty brothers to slander out of the city. Before, our people even sent them wine and food, and the place was clear."
The general with a sinister expression stepped forward and reported in a low voice.
"A few smart brothers have been arranged on the port. Once we have a problem in Baidi City, they will set fire at the port, and at the same time pretend to be ambushing, percussion instruments, and shaking flags. They think that suspicious soldiers should be able to hold the sailors at the port and dare not go out easily."
"There are two concentrated military houses in the city. Both military houses have been arranged. Just wait for the order to arrive, and you can immediately enter the camp."
"We are on duty today at the city gate. The city gate can be opened at any time. There is no problem with the Dongzhou soldiers outside the city entering the city. The arsenal in the city is lax, and less than half a team of soldiers live on the side. Every night, they will only leave two or three people on duty. The rest will enter the military house next to them and sleep, which can be easily controlled."
The general with a sinister look was named Qian Wu, but was actually an official from the Yingwei family, not from the Yellow Turban Army of Yizhou.
It is natural to be able to find and hide things, and it is extremely skillful.
He was one of the military instructors sent by Xu An to the Yizhou Yellow Turban Army to train the Yizhou Yellow Turban Army.
When Dong Zhuo was still there, the southern part of Hedong County was threatened by the Yellow Turban Army and expanded its troops wildly, which also caused the Eagle and Wolf Guard to press down on a lot of nails. Qian Wu was the most outstanding one.
He was competent as the governor of the Han army at that time, and was later appointed as the gate guarding Wenxi City.
During the Yufuluo uprising, he was ordered to respond to peace inside and outside. Wenxi City was broken, and completely cut off the road for the main force of the Western Liang army to go south.
This achievement also allowed Qian Wu to be promoted from an ordinary Tiqi cavalry to a flag officer and to be tested for hundreds of households.
After many years, he had removed the word "test" and became the official household of the Eagle Guard. He volunteered to go to Yizhou.
This time, more than 400 soldiers brought by Zhao Zhi, most of them were trained by Qian Wu and others. They were all one of the most outstanding white-rod soldiers in the Yellow Turban Army in Yizhou.
Only fifty-seven people did not belong to the White Rod Soldiers. In fact, they did not belong to the sequence of the Yellow Turban Army in Yizhou. They were all eagle wolf guards like Qian Wu.
This is why Zhao Zhi dared to lead these more than 400 people to enter Baidi City, and with more than 400 people, he wanted to capture the two city passes, Baidi City and Jiangguan.
The one who is really making plans is not Zhao Zhi, but Qian Wu.
For activities such as infiltration, sabotage, destruction, and disguise, the Eagle and Wolf Guard is well deserved to be the world's number one.
It is precisely because of Qian Wu that Zhao Zhi dared to be so bold.
He trusts Qian Wu and the Tiqi of the Eagle and Wolf Guard.
In the Guanghan and Anhan battles, as well as the confrontation with the Dongzhou soldiers, all the changes in the Yizhou Yellow Turban Army were seen by Zhao Zhi. The training of the Yizhou Yellow Turban Army in these Eagle Wolf Guards and Tikkas was indeed completely different from the previous one.
Qian Wu paused and continued to whisper.
"I checked in the arsenal yesterday and there were still many weapons inside, enough for those Dongzhou soldiers to use."
"The Dongzhou soldiers were handed over to the Tiqi under my command. They knew how to manage them in dispersed ways. After the commotion in Baidi City calmed down, we would completely control Baidi City, and the general would send people to reorganize Dongzhou soldiers at that time, and we would have time at that time."
After Qian Wu reported it, he took a step back and stood with the other five people.
Although the plan was formulated by Qian Wu, everything was mainly based on the Eagle and Wolf Guard and the Yizhou Yellow Turbans were supplemented, Qian Wu did not mean to be overwhelming at all.
The Eagle and Wolf Guard is independent of each department, so the way of rewarding merits is different from other departments, so there is no need to steal the limelight.
What's more, although Zhao Zhi was not very familiar with infiltration and attack affairs, Zhao Zhi was willing to take risks all the way through, which made the tik cavalry of the Eagle and Wolf Guard look at Zhao Zhi with admiration.
Zhao Zhi could have lived in Jiangzhou, took charge of the command, and was in a safe place.
With Zhao Zhi's prestige in the Yellow Turban Army of Yizhou and his contributions to the Battle of Yizhou, Zhao Zhi could still become a fifth-rank general.
Qian Wu knew Zhao Zhi’s thoughts very well. Now Taiping Road is strong and has countless elite soldiers and generals.
Zhao Zhi also asked him a lot about the internal affairs of Taiping Road. After the Yellow Turban Army of the Four Prefectures entered Bingzhou, most of the Qu generals were only named generals and lieutenants.
No matter what the official position is, only those who have outstanding abilities and sufficient achievements can continue to lead troops to fight. Otherwise, they can only get a free position, or manage military farming soldiers and logistics, and have a safe life.
Fighting in battle is very dangerous.
Since ancient times, those who are capable have been promoted, while those who are weak have died. Xu An’s method of selecting soldiers and using generals has no problem, and he cannot find any contradictions.
But Zhao Zhi didn't want to manage military farm soldiers just as a free general in the Yellow Turban Army.
Life and death have destiny, and wealth and honor are in heaven.
The reason why he was so risky was that Zhao Zhi wanted to prove that he was not a mediocre person. He wanted to give Xu An a merit to see that the Yellow Turban Army in Yizhou was not uninhabited.
Since everyone believed that Jiangguan and Baidi City could not be taken down, he used Baidi City and Jiangguan as gifts to Xu An.
"Most of the people were drunk at today's banquet, and their location had been clearly identified."
Zhao Zhi looked around the generals and schoolmen in the house, and felt very calm and said in a deep voice.
"This time, the inner city mainly focuses on catching people. Try not to kill people, but don't miss the opportunity. If someone resists and wants to call for help, make a decision immediately."
"The military houses in the outer city should be used to stop chaos. Be sure to control the two military houses as quickly as possible!"
The door opened, and countless figures appeared in Zhao Zhi's eyes, and then quickly disappeared into the darkness.
The Eagle and Wolf Guards live in the shadows. In the darkness, they are like fish in water. In this world, no one can surpass them in the darkness.
...
In the inner city, the corridors and alleys are filled with the aroma of alcohol and food.
Two Yizhou soldiers carrying lanterns and carrying knives on their waists were walking in the corridor and walked to the corner.
"I still have to inspect it so late. That dog guy didn't get much benefit from us last time, so I thought about ways to deal with us."
A soldier who was slightly taller in Yizhou Army looked unhappy and cursed in a low voice.
Another short soldier looked helpless.
"The moth thief's shadow is gone, he..."
A cold wind suddenly blew, and the lanterns in the hands of the two Yizhou soldiers were blown trembling, the lights swayed, and the sound of insects seemed to be louder.
The lanterns are stationary, and the fire no longer sways.
In the corridor, peace has returned to its original tranquility.
Two Yizhou soldiers carried lanterns and walked forward silently, as if nothing had happened just now.
But in the air, there was a hint of blood.
However, the breeze blew by, and the faint smell of blood disappeared into the air.
The lights were bright, and the two Yizhou soldiers were light and stepped on the ground without even making too loud noises.
As the breeze blew, the lanterns they were holding also swayed slightly.
Two Yizhou soldiers walked slowly forward with lanterns, and many closed doors along the road had been opened.
A silent voice came from the darkness, as if there was something evil demon hidden in the darkness.
But the two Yizhou soldiers did not stop, but continued to move forward.
Going forward, passing through the corridor, and walking to the inner house that is the most back.
Two Yizhou soldiers continued to walk forward with lanterns, and their figures also attracted the attention of the two guards guarding outside the door.
"The person who comes stops!"
Seeing two Yizhou soldiers getting closer and closer, some guards guarding outside the door came out and shouted in a deep voice.
"Night patrol..."
