Chapter 178 Stealing the City
For Li Chongjiu, although Feihu County has changed hands, its foundation has been still there before. He trained the county soldiers in the county. Although the school lieutenant, brigade leader, and team commander who were promoted at the time had been replaced by the current county lieutenant, it was impossible for the team deputy and brigade deputy to be replaced all of them. Moreover, there are still many Zhao's children among the county soldiers who are serving, and they are the best internal supporters.
At present, a man of seven feet tall was standing in front of Li Chongjiu. He was in his thirties, dark skin and burly figure. He was Zhao Quanting, the nephew of Zhao Wansan, and the most skilled martial arts person in the Zhao family. Now he is led by him.
Zhao Quanting said: "This Feihu County Captain was originally the Captain Qiu in the city. He was the oldest among the three captains. His capable yamen runners, gangs and archers all became the army. After Captain Qiu became the county lieutenant, his subordinates also ascended to heaven, became the brigade leader, and replaced the former marquis' confidants. However, these people have been in the fishing village all day long, even if they become soldiers, they have no restraint and withhold military pay. The brothers below have long thought of changing. Now that they have heard that Junhou has returned to Feihu County, they have long wanted to deal with these dog officials."
After hearing this, Li Chongjiu asked cautiously: "Will there be a fraud? Is it a way to force us to enter the city?"
Zhao Quanting thought for a while and said, "This leader is my cousin and Uncle Zhao's nephew. I think there will be no deception. But Junhou is right, we are more careful. Who knows if they will think of change after a long time? Let me take our Zhao family to play the striker to explore the way for Junhou tonight."
After hearing this, Li Chongjiu patted Zhao Quanting on the shoulder and said, "Okay. Let the brothers have a good meal of wine and meat. The third update tonight will be the time to break the city."
"No, Junhou." Zhao Quanting clasped his fists and strode away.
The night was dark that day. On the rammed earth wall of Feihu County, the city soldiers held Song Ming back and forth patrol to prevent the enemy from stealing the city. At the gate of Dongcheng, Liu Dayan, the city gate official and lieutenant, was the confidant yamen runner who was originally Captain Qiu. In Feihu County, the yamen runners were all passed down from generation to generation, and his father was also a yamen runner. Because his eyes were big and small after birth, he was called Liu Dayan. He was originally a yamen runner who was difficult to marry according to his appearance, but who said he was a yamen runner and was quite powerful in the county. Now he has taken three wives and concubines.
The military situation is urgent. Recently, he has abandoned the beautiful girl who has just been betrothed at home these nights and slept directly on the city tower. However, according to convention, he had to patrol before he could fall asleep. Although Liu Dayan is greedy, he is not stupid and acts cautiously. He knows that the bandits are at the moment and that although he has a city wall to hold, Li Chongjiu is such a fierce person that even Shibi Khan has not pleased him. Liu Dayan has several heads, and if he is negligent, he will move the house.
Be cautious, he took several gangs who were used to being called and a group of soldiers, and surrounded the Madao, who was underground on the city tower, and was preparing to patrol the side. At this time, Liu Dayan suddenly pointed his eyes and said, "Is it Zhao Quaner the station?"
There are rows of gatehouses on both sides of the city gate tunnel, which is called "familiar". There are usually officials and soldiers guarding the city gate. In the past, they used to monitor the people entering and leaving the city gate. Now, in front of the school, a man turned around and said with a trembling voice: "When you return to Liu Zhengwei, it is Quan Er."
Liu Dayan held a horse whip in his hand and surrounded Zhao Quaner, shouting: "Why are you shaking when you speak? You are not on night tonight, why are you here to do it?"
Zhao Quaner trembled and said, "When you say to Lieutenant Liu, Team Zhou is ill tonight. You asked me to exchange for the team as the deputy. Have you forgotten this?"
After hearing this, Liu Dayan suddenly realized it. He immediately slapped his head and said, "Look at my memory, why did I forget this matter? No matter how I speak, is there a ghost in my heart?"
After hearing this, Zhao Quaner quickly said, "Isn't this afraid of your official power?"
Liu Dayan nodded after hearing this, and was very satisfied with the flattery and said, "Be careful when on duty. If something goes wrong, you will have to live your family. If the thief retreats and is safe, tell your brothers that everyone will be rewarded with thirty coins and a dou of rice."
Thirty dollars, I bah, tie my head to my belt and sell it to them to death. It was only thirty dollars, a dou of rice. Although Zhao Quaner thought so in his heart, he still said on his face: "Thank you, Captain."
As soon as Liu Dayan finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that this person's surname was Zhao May it was in contact with the people in Zhaojiabao. Although Zhao Quaner was honest and did not look like a person who dared to rebel, he was more cautious and left one of his confidants to monitor the city gate. He patroled the city gate and went back to the city tower to sleep.
When Zhao Quaner saw that the other party left someone to monitor the situation, he was so angry that he was not very patient, and he yawned several times, looking very sleepy. Zhao Quaner was delighted, and picked up the half-skinned wine brewed and went up to get close to it. The two of them said a few words and then stroked him to the doorman to drink.
Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Zhao Quaner's confidants quickly replaced the guards of the culvert next to the city gate. Under the culvert was the place where the ditch came out. People in the county were washing clothes, eating, and urinating. They all followed the ditch in the city. When the ditch came out of the city, a brick and stone inner wall was built on it, and in the culvert below, a row of iron fences as thick as forearms were erected to prevent anyone from using this channel to enter and exit the city.
More than a dozen big men swam into the culvert under the city. In this place full of smelly water, they quietly sawed the iron fence. After a while, they finally broke a small hole that could accommodate one person in and out. At that moment, these people bit their knives, swam out of the culvert one by one, and hid under the city wall to rest. After more than thirty people came, three sounds of divine fighting in the city sounded, and the time was already three times.
Take action!
Inside the city, he fought with the dead soldiers who entered the city at night outside the city and rushed towards the city gate from all directions. Zhao Quaner accompanied Zhao Dayan's confidant to drink with him, and at this time he heard the rustling footsteps outside. Although the confidant was a little drunk, he woke up and grabbed the handle of the knife and said, "What's going on?"
Zhao Quan said in two words: "I don't know either."
This man immediately went to grab the door handle and opened the door. At this time, Zhao Quaner took out a dagger, stabbed into the other party's back, and stirred it hard. After placing the account, Zhao Quaner went out to greet the people from all sides to seize the city gate, and then started fighting in the door. The insiders also attacked, stabbing the knife at the people around them. Instantly, the county soldiers guarding the city cave were attacked by the enemy from both sides. Without a few resistances, the corpse was lying on the ground. Just when the horn of the enemy attack in the city was blown, the gate of Feihu County was already opened. Zhao Quanting, who had been ambushing in the dark outside the city for a long time, shouted loudly and led the Zhao family's soldiers to rush towards the city gate to grab the city gate.
The captain Xu Dayan was also awakened by the sound of trumpets. He rushed out of the city tower with more than a dozen subordinates. At this time, he saw the sound of killings coming from the city, and it was pitch black, as if thousands of troops were coming to capture the city. Xu Dayan had never seen this scene, and his legs suddenly became weak and had no intention of fighting. He immediately threw away his weapons and said, "We are willing to surrender, we are willing to surrender."
In the camp, Li Chongjiu looked at the situation at the city gate and knew that the city gate had been seized. He immediately ordered each to order one hundred cavalry to guard the other three cities gates to guard against Zhou County's escape, and he led the army into the city.
He rushed into the city all the way, but encountered almost no resistance.
There were surrendered soldiers and soldiers on both sides of the city gate. Li Chongjiu immediately asked Su Su to lead dozens of people as supervisors to kill those sluts who took advantage of the chaos and the riots who plundered the civilians. While he and Li Hu led their troops straight into the county government. When they arrived at the county government government, Zhao Quaner had already led his people to break through the county government government gate. On the one hand, he sent people to rescue Gao Chu and Zhao Wansan who were imprisoned in the county government prison, and on the other hand, he went to arrest Zhou County Chief.
Not long after, Gao Chu, Zhao Wansan and others were rescued, and the previous craftsman, Jin Cao, were also rescued. Gao Chu looked at Li Chongjiu with shame and said, "It's the last general, you're not. You've lost the Marquis' city and ask the Marquis to punish him."
Li Chongjiu waved his hand and said, "Don't mention the marquis. I have been dismissed from office now. I am a criminal in the court. Where can you do it..."
Before Li Chongjiu finished speaking, the few people bowed and said, "Our wealth and honor are all dependent on the marquis, and I am willing to serve the marquis for the marquis."
Li Chongjiu laughed and said, "Okay, you should be rich with all your brothers!"
At this time, Zhou Xianzheng was also arrested and taken down by Zhao Quanting. Zhou Xianzheng was wearing women's clothing, obviously trying to escape from the city. Everyone present laughed when they saw Zhou Xianzheng's appearance.
Zhou County Zheng said angrily: "If you die, you will die, you don't have to insult me."
Li Chongjiu glanced at him and said, "Zhou Xicao, do you know that there is today?"
Zhou County was sneering and said, "I am the county chief enthroned by the court, not the Western Cao, you are a fake official and a false marquis, and you are also helping the evil. When the imperial soldiers arrive in the next day, today will be your tomorrow. Let me die together. I will wait for you on the road to the underworld."
"I want to die? It's not that easy?" Zhao Quanting said, "You are a traitor who frames the marquis and turns black and white. We will make you lose all your money. Anyway, you will live one more day and suffer one more day."
Hearing that Zhouxianzheng's toughness just now collapsed, he knelt in front of Li Chongjiu and said, "June, it was not me in the past. I beg you to give me another chance..."
"Drag and detain you." Li Chongjiu said impolitely. When Zhou County saw Li Chongjiu's appearance, he immediately shouted in horror: "June, no, June, I can still serve you as a dog or a horse. June, please..."
