Chapter 94 This is impossible!
?The head of Chengyue City was silent. Because the lock time had passed, the gate was closed. Smoke in the city was curling from time to time, and everything seemed to be the same as usual. More than ten riders stood on the edge of a forest not far outside the city, looking into the city.
"The team leader, there are not many people on the wall, it seems to be the same as usual." A soldier said, and several people around him were silently headed.
"These birds pretend to be a ghost? Do you think Xiaochang City is dead and sleep relaxed?" Lu Jie murmured to himself as he looked at the city. They just now rested for a while before continuing to move forward and came to the woods without any danger. Seeing that Chengyue City was not very much like a traitor defending the city, they were a little puzzled.
"I must be pretending to be crazy and stupid, so that the people who come and go think that everything in the city is normal and they can enter the city, so they rush up and take it all over!" Someone else speculated, and when others heard this, they refuted that the gates are closed, where do you go to find someone to rush up and take it all over for the other party to 'take it all over'. The other party's garrison looks very ordinary and has no appearance as if facing a great enemy.
Several people discussed and determined that the rebels in Chengyue City were careless. The other party must have thought that the county magistrate Tian Kai would definitely succeed in attacking Xiaochang City, so they were relaxed, so their chances came!
The subsequent cavalry had already entered the woods. Lu Jie looked at the nearly 100 subordinates who had a bold plan in his mind: pretended that the cavalry sent back to report the news to deceive the city gate. As long as he persisted for a while, he could take the opportunity to rush into the city.
"It's supper time now, those birds probably want to get some money when they are having dinner, and we can open the city gate and kill in?" Lu Jie was very tempted and tried to obey his subordinates and took this risk.
He thought the other party seemed to be very weak in vigilance. It seemed that the Yuzhou army had not yet entered the city. As soon as nearly one hundred cavalry rushed in, the remaining soldiers were probably Pan Sansha. So as long as Tian Kai failed to attack Xiaochang, he was appointed as the head and then the rebel army would come to that point. Basically, the situation would stabilize.
As long as nearly 100 people on our side stay overnight and the army arrives tomorrow, everything will be a foregone conclusion. It is impossible for the other side to repeat it again. If you make such a great contribution, you will definitely be rewarded. Xu Jun will definitely not treat the rewards and punishments unfairly, even if you are unfortunately killed in the battle, you will still have a settlement with your pension.
"How about this, the risk is great, and the credit is great." Lu Jie became more and more excited. 10∵10∵10∵10∵,m.♀.co♂m's chance to achieve great achievements is right in front of him. As long as he is in his heart, there will be no great casualties. Of course, if the situation is not good, they can escape even if they have a horse.
The autumn breeze swept through the woods, the fallen leaves were colorful and dust flew, and the sunset was about to sink into the west mountain, the sky gradually became dim. I don’t know how long it took more than ten riders appeared on the official road outside the woods, galloping towards the north, which was close to the north.
Lu Jie led his subordinates to look nervously at the backs of the dozen riders in the woods, and dozens of people were waiting for his signal behind the woods. When they approached the city, they were waiting for his signal. When the defenders saw that they were all riding horses and slowly coming to the woods, they could not notice it. As long as the dozen comrades controlled the city gate, they rode their horses and rushed over, they would not take long to catch the other party off guard.
The dozen people who chose to go to the city gate were all good players. Before leaving, Lu Jie promised in front of everyone that if the money failed, even if they were unfortunately killed, the robes would definitely join in as pensions and handed over to their families.
The dozen people rode their horses toward the city gate, and Lu Jie and others almost felt their hearts in their throats. It was dusk now. It was dusk. If there was no emergency military situation, the officers and soldiers guarding the city could not open the door. If they could not bring out the token, they would even be shot and killed on the spot as thieves.
At this time, even if you ride a horse but it is too close to the city, it takes time to turn the horse's head and leave, and you leave your back to the other party. As long as the archer is either blind, you will basically shoot arrows without any loss. Now the defenders of the Zeyue have rebelled, as long as one is inappropriate to deal with it, they will be able to see the flaws. Then these dozen people are afraid that they will never return.
"God bless you, open the door, open the door..." Lu Jie murmured at the vague city gate. He saw that his subordinates had come to the city gate. The lanterns lit up on the top of the city, and it seemed that several people were leaning out. It seemed that they were interrogating.
The people next to them also held their breath and didn't even dare to show off their anger. They all stared at the city gate without turning their eyes. In an instant, it seemed that the surroundings were quiet and there was only the blurry city gate in their field of vision.
I don’t know how long it took for the city gate to be heard. The gate slowly opened. Seeing his comrades rushing towards the city, Lu Jie stood up excitedly and ran back: “Hurry! Hurry! Rush in!”
......
At night, camps were continuous by the riverside, and the Anzhou army set out from Xiaochang was camping. The terrain was higher and next to the official road, so there was no need to worry about flooding in the middle of the night and it was convenient to camp.
In a large tent, Yuezhou Governor Xu Faguang was reading a book in a candlelight. A medical officer was helping him change the right shoulder. When the attack was in an emergency, Xu Faguang just treated the wound in a hurry and commanded the rebellion to control the situation. After not having a breath, he led the provincial soldiers and reinforcements sent by Anlu to the north to recover Zeyue. The wounds were torn and broke a little after a while. Just now, when the camp had time, Xu Faguang asked the medical officer to change the medicine and bandage it again.
The war is very fast, and the rebellion of the Chengyue County rebels, and the Baiyan Pass to the north is unpredictable. Therefore, we must recover Chengyue before the Yuzhou army goes south and then go north immediately. If Baiyan Pass is still in our own hands, it is best if it has been lost, then the Chengyue County governs Chengyue is the front line of the resistance to the Yuzhou army.
"Tian Kai...Zhen Yue..." Xu Faguang frowned and recited these two words repeatedly. As the governor and his subordinates rebelled, he had not found out that he had missed his duties before, so he had to do the next rebellion himself.
The journey from Xiaochang to Chengyue is about 80 miles. It takes two days for normal marching, so we can't delay it. We only need one day to march quickly, but after we arrive at the city, the soldiers will be so tired that they will most likely have ambushing soldiers on the way, so they can only explore and walk, camp halfway through the night, leaving their supplies to travel the next day to strive to arrive at noon.
A soldier reported outside the tent that the cavalry who had sent out to the sentry had returned to the battalion to declare an emergency military report. Xu Faguang heard this and asked the other party to enter the tent. When the army set off, he sent a team of cavalry to open the way and ordered that if the road was unhindered, he would rush outside the city of Chengyue to investigate the enemy's situation.
Xu Faguang silently calculated the time in his heart. These cavalrymen probably arrived in Chengyue and fought back and forth. He didn't know if the bad news brought back. Footsteps outside the tent sounded and then the curtain of the door was lifted and a soldier walked into the tent under the guidance of others.
The soldier reported that something happened to Chengyue as soon as he came in. Xu Faguang smiled wryly and knew that there was no need to repeat the incident in Chengyue. The specific military situation, such as the number of enemy soldiers, and the city defense situation is what you need to report.
"Report to the envoy, we have entered the Chengyue City and found that everything has been the same and there is no rebellion!"
Xu Faguang slapped the book and suddenly rushed out of the side of the case. He looked at the man and said with a sneer: "So bold, I dare to come back to visit me!"
Chengyue did not rebel? This is impossible! So many clues pointed at Chengyue who had rebelled, otherwise the county magistrate Tian Kai would not have led his people south to attack Xiaochang!
He determined that the soldier in front of him went to Zeyue and was attacked and captured and surrendered. The enemy sent him back and spoke in a sweet manner to make the army relax their vigilance. Finally, the attack on the camp in the middle of the night may delay time.
"Encourt! Everything is true!" The soldier struggled desperately. He and several comrades rushed back with the order of the team leader Lu Jie to report that there was no lie. Xu Faguang knew that Lu Jie was a reliable person and would not surrender, so he asked him if he had come back with a codeword.
The soldier was stunned by the secret words of Xu Faguang. The secret words were indeed agreed upon by him and Lu Jie. In order to prevent Lu Jie from falling into the enemy's hands, he also specially set a yin and yang command to be ordered to be punished.
"You, what the hell is going on!"
When the soldiers saw Xu Faguang ask, they went through the matter in detail from beginning to end: he followed dozens of comrades, led by the team leader Lu Jie, and marched towards Zeyue in a hurry. He was in danger. When he arrived outside Zeyue City, he found that the garrison was much more relaxed than he thought. Lu Jie sent people to pretend to be the county magistrate Tian Kai and the city gate were solemnly rushed in.
"Run in? Then!" Xu Faguang couldn't help but become nervous when he heard this.
"After rushing into the city and making trouble, we confronted the Lord of the Zeyue who was leading the troops. After scolding each other for a long time, we found that they didn't know about Tian Kai's rebellion!"
Before Xu Faguang could come back to his senses, the soldier continued: The defender of Zeyue only knew that Tian Kai went south to Xiaochang to handle "emergency official business", so they pretended that Tian Kai's subordinates returned to the city and the gatekeeper opened the door without thinking so much. Later, when the two sides met and scolded each other, they learned that Tian Kai assassinated Xu Faguang and attacked the city.
"The other party thought we were sent by the Yuzhou Army to steal the city. In order to prove our innocence, he specially took the Lu team leader around the city. The team leader did not find any abnormality and asked me to wait a few to come back to report the news."
"When Tian Kai went south, he brought his confidants and the rest of the county soldiers had not mobilized one soldier or another."
"There is nothing in Chengyue...There is nothing in Chengyue...This is impossible, this is impossible!" Xu Faguang was stunned when he heard this. This was very different from his expected military situation. He thought that according to the worst plan, Chengyue had been captured by the Yuzhou army, but now the city is fine!
According to the news from Anlu before, the Yuzhou army sent soldiers to disguise themselves as people and cross Tongbai Mountain to the south. With the help of Tian Kai, they attacked Xiaochang and sneaked into Anlu to assassinate the Chief Supervisor and the Duke of Xiyang County. According to everyone's judgment, Tian Kai should have controlled Zeyue with the help of these people and even attacked Baiyan Pass in the north.
If Baiyan Pass falls into the hands of the Yuzhou army, it is extremely threatening, so Anlu immediately sent troops to the state soldiers led by Xiaochang and Xu Faguang to join forces and then go north to suppress the rebellion. Everyone's attention is focused on Chengyue, and the troops that can be mobilized in Baiyan Pass are also going to these two places to defend against the Yuzhou army from Baiyan Pass.
Now he found out that Zeyue had not changed, so what was the other party doing?
According to the idea of using troops, the Yuzhou army took Baiyan Pass and then controlled Chengyue, which poses a great threat to Anzhou: more than 120 miles east of Chengyue is the Beijiangzhou Prefecture of the Huangzhou General Administration, more than 80 miles south of Chengyue is the Yuezhou Prefecture of the Anzhou General Administration, and more than 20 miles west of the Wuyangguan Mountain Road exit, and more than 40 miles west of Yingzhou Prefecture of the Yongyang Prefecture. Taking Chengyue is like a dagger in the abdomen of the Anzhou General Administration, but why doesn't the other party take action?
Could it be that the Yuzhou army that sneaked into the Anzhou border was just to sneak into Anlu to assassinate and attack Xiaochang except to take down Baiyan Pass? This is impossible!
Xu Faguang thought that the other party planned such a big game of chess, and he thought about the target of the opponent's most likely attack: first, he thought of Yongyang to the west, where the food was operated by the Anzhou East Route Army, but if there was a large army to guard it, it would be impossible to be attacked by a few Yuzhou troops. Next, Lucheng Pass to the east, but there was the Huangzhou area where the army was ready to support it, and it was impossible.
