Turbulent Times Chapter 152: The general who returned in triumph
(Thank you very much for the generosity of ‘HE Yan Tao’ and the support of the monthly ticket.)
Wang Junlin is aware of the disadvantages of the wealthy family, but it is not so clear. Wang Tong's rhetoric today is like opening another door in front of Wang Junlin's eyes, allowing him to see clearly the filth inside the door. I have a deeper understanding of the real situation inside the door.
Wang Junlin couldn't help being moved by these exhortations from the bottom of his heart. After thinking for a while, he bowed his hands to Wang Tong again, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your guidance. This junior and senior should be fellow travelers."
Wang Junlin deliberately changed the address of each other, which is considered to have recognized what Wang Tong said, and also intended to draw closer to each other. Xiong's death, the old man is actually very busy these days, so I won't stay here any longer."
Before he finished speaking, he got up and waved to Wang Junlin. He left the living room and walked towards the door.
"There may be thieves making trouble in the capital tomorrow night, Mr. Wang might as well quietly prepare the soldiers in advance, maybe it will bring great surprises to Mr. Wang." Wang Junlin sent Wang Tong outside the gate, Before Wang Tong got into the carriage, he suddenly whispered.
There was a flash of light in Wang Tong's eyes, and he took a deep look at Wang Junlin, just nodded, and put down the light curtain, he didn't speak, let alone promise anything. Smart people never communicate with each other too clearly.
…
…
Fifty miles to the south of the capital city, on the field outside Zhoujia Town, today there is an additional army, about ten thousand people, each of them wears silver armor on their heads and wears colorful silk on their chests. Immediately recognized that this is the soldiers and horses of Zuo Tunwei.
The military system of the Great Sui Dynasty, the national standing army is divided into twelve guards, each guard has a general and two generals, of which the Zuo Tunwei and the right Tunwei are the two most elite soldiers and horses in the world. One hundred thousand horses are usually stationed in camps around the capital.
At the beginning of the year, Nanping barbarians rebelled in the Minshu area. General Mai Tiezhang of Zuo Tunwei was ordered to bring 10,000 troops from the headquarters, together with the local government soldiers, to quell the rebellion with a total of 50,000.
After half a year, Mai Tiezhang led the army to kill nearly half of the Nanping barbarians, and finally put down the rebellion.
According to the itinerary, Mai Tiezhang will enter the city tomorrow. Prince Yang Guang, under the order of Yang Jian, will lead some officials to greet Mai Tiezhang and other meritorious officials at the south gate of the city, and hold a welcome ceremony. Today, the army rested overnight in Zhoujia Town to recharge their spirits. Tomorrow, it will be good to show their mighty side in front of the prince, officials, and the people of the capital.
But when Haishi just arrived and everyone in the army fell asleep except for a small number of sentry posts, at the center of the Chinese army camp, there were three people each leading two horses. They quietly got out of the camp, and when Xu Wan left the camp, the three got on their horses and galloped towards the capital.
The three of them had excellent riding skills, and galloped at full speed along the way. When the horses under their crotches were a little tired, they immediately changed horses. After half an hour, they ran for more than 50 miles and came to the south gate of the capital.
In the middle of the night, if it wasn't for the emperor's decree, it would be impossible to open the city gates in the middle of the night. However, if a person is allowed to enter the city, there are ways.
"General, it's better to let the lowly rank take the place of the general. Anyway, it's just killing some people. The brothers from the former cottage came out all over the place. It is expected that although the poisonous boy has some reputation, he will not escape death." When he was about to approach the city wall , the three began to slow down, and finally stopped when they were 500 steps away from the capital, and got off their horses. One of them whispered to the leading man who was as burly as an iron tower.
"That poisonous boy actually killed the Duke's two grandsons. The Duke has been kind to me. I want to kill the poisonous boy myself and vent my anger on the Duke's behalf. Besides, this time, to avoid suspicion, I will I can't move one of my personal guards, and those brothers in the cottage alone can't be safe, so I sent someone to ask the second master to invite the famous Taihang Mountain Seven Tigers from the Green Forest Road. If I don't go in person, the second master alone can't suppress it These seven tigers." The burly man known as the general spoke impatiently, and gave the reins of the horse back to the person next to him, then checked his position, and strode towards the city wall without hesitation.
The two attendants wanted to say something, the big man waved his hands, and the voice floated over again: "You take care of the horses, I will leave the city in two hours at most, and we have to go back to Zhoujia Town before dawn camp."
Before the words fell, the figure of the big man had disappeared into the night, leaving behind two attendants with wry smiles and helplessness. What their general said just now is certainly a reason, but they know that although this master is now a third-rank military general, because he was born in a green forest robber, his favorite thing to do is to kill people and set fires at night, and this habit has never changed. How can I let this opportunity pass now.
That's right, this burly man is General Mai Tiezhang of Zuo Tunwei.
Mai Tiezhang was listed on the list of top ten generals. Although he was only ranked tenth, it was enough to reflect his strength in personal force and illustrious military exploits. And the story about Mai Tiezhang is a legend in the Jianghu green forest. (Note)
Mai Tiezhang touched the bottom of the city wall, meowed three times towards it, and soon a very strong and large basket quietly fell from above. Pulling it up, under the leadership of a school lieutenant, Mai Tiezhang went down the city wall and came to a very ordinary three-entry house.
In the past five days, nearly a hundred people have lived in this house in batches. These people have been served with delicious food and drink every day these days, just to wait for the arrival of Mai Tiezhang tonight.
…
…
In the middle of the night, figures flickered, and nearly a hundred vigorous figures arrived near Qin Anhou's mansion in batches.
"Don't be in a hurry to enter. According to the plan, there will be an internal response here for the final confirmation." Mai Tiezhang can become a general of Zuo Tunwei, leading the army alone to quell the barbarian rebellion in Shu , he is not a brave and foolhardy person, on the contrary, this person is extremely cautious, otherwise he would have been killed as a thief for so many years.
Not long after nearly a hundred people waited, the side door of the Marquis of Qin An's Mansion was opened from the inside, and someone stood at the door and circled it three times with a lantern in his hand.
"Iron Wolf, go over and see if it's the person who met you five days ago, and then confront him." He has a famous name, title, and official position similar to him. The most important thing is that someone who can force a powerful person like the Duke of Yue to use this method to deal with him is not an ordinary person, so Mai Tiezhang thinks that no matter how cautious he is Can't be exaggerated.
The thief named Iron Wolf went up, and after seeing the face of the person at the side door with a lantern, he no longer had any doubts in his heart, but Mai Tiezhang had explained it, so he still whispered: "Shoulder to shoulder, but Is Fengzi Waner?"
The man lowered his voice very low, and said: "Shoulders, let's read the short story! Make the tricks brighter! Hold Diao Zhizi!"
The iron wolf heaved a sigh of relief, and then waved back. Mai Tiezhang no longer had any doubts, and quickly sneaked into the side door of Qin Anhou's mansion, and nearly a hundred men in black entered Qin Anhou's mansion one by one.
"Is this side door unguarded?" Mai Tiezhang always felt that it was too smooth, and after entering, he suddenly asked in a low voice to the inner response who had already extinguished the lantern.
"The two guards have been killed by me." Nai Ying pointed to the edge of the garden behind him, Mai Tiezhang and the others looked in the direction of his finger, and found two corpses lying on the ground, both facing However, it can also be seen from the side that someone cut his throat to death.
Mai Tiezhang nodded, he had no doubts for the time being, and followed Nei Ying to sneak out to the Fuchu.
Passing through three courtyard gates along the way, the wind went smoothly and I didn't meet anyone.
"Stop." Mai Tiezhang waved his hand, and everyone stopped.
Mai Tiezhang stared at Neiying, and asked in a deep voice: "It went so well, then Wang Junlin is also a general of the party, he killed so many Turkic people and Tuyuhun people, why is the defense in his home so lax... ..."
The sound of humming piercing through the air suddenly resounded, and in the dim light, blood spattered, and two screams suddenly came out from among the nearly a hundred people who sneaked in following Mai Tiezhang.
"There are assassins!" A shout came from behind a rockery not far away.
"It's a secret whistle." The insider said in a timely manner.
"Take us directly to where Wang Junlin is, and kill anyone who encounters obstacles on the way." Mai Tiezhang no longer doubted the internal response, and gave orders loudly with a grinning grin.
Nearly a hundred people, led by Mai Tiezhang, rushed towards Wang Junlin's bedroom in the middle courtyard. They were so numerous that the few guards they met along the way did not dare to block them head-on, they just launched a sneak attack from a distance with crossbow arrows. When they rushed to the middle courtyard where the gate was closed, three of them were shot dead by the crossbow arrows. But did not kill each other.
Soon, chaotic shouts and screams crisscrossed around the courtyard where Wang Junlin was said to live. From the beginning just now, three green forest masters with relatively strong light-weight skills wanted to sneak into the lit courtyard from different directions, but they were discovered by people who had been ambushing around early, and a fight started. One of them was seriously injured on the spot. The other two were chased and rushed into the garden next to them. They didn't know if they were alive or dead, but they never came out again.
Note: Mai Tiezhang, a veteran of the Sui Dynasty, has a rough temper and a sense of loyalty. He used to be a robber on the green forest road in the south of the Yangtze River. He once daringly entered the palace of the Chen Dynasty and stole it. He was captured alive by the guards in the palace. Won by his bravery, he didn't kill him, but let him serve as a slave holding an umbrella. Lao Mai held an umbrella for the emperor during the day, and ran hundreds of miles away to kill him at night. After killing it, come back and continue to hold the umbrella. He was recognized and reported to the government, but the government didn't believe him because he was never absent from work. After being tricked by someone to expose the truth, Chen Houzhu was still reluctant to kill him, and instead ordered him to be the leader of the guards. As a result, when the Sui Dynasty attacked the Chen Dynasty, Mai Tiezhang was secretly instigated by Yang Su. He led people to cooperate with others and helped Yang Su easily capture the capital of the Chen Dynasty. After a while, he will become a general, unify the guards and horses, and Daye died in the first battle of the Sui Dynasty against Goryeo in the eighth year of battle.
