Liyang City, the Governor's Mansion, is brightly lit.
Yu Kai's eyes were red and his beard was messy. He had long lost his former celebrity demeanor. All the officials in the hall were in a panic, like headless flies scurrying around, becoming frightened birds.
"Wherever Sima Shangzhi's soldiers and horses arrive, they must stop the imperial troops and horses at the mouth of the Hengjiang River. Also, where do the Jingzhou troops arrive? How many batches of messengers were sent?..."
In the lobby, Yu Kai's frantic questions could be heard from time to time. Yu Hong's face was white enough this time without applying powder. He was trembling and shivering. He no longer dreamed of becoming an official in Beijing.
The lights flickered, people's hearts dispersed, and there were fewer and fewer people in the lobby. In the end, only the Yu family's father and son and a few close associates were left.
Yu Hong looked at the empty hall and knew that the situation was over. The subordinate officials had become disloyal. They were afraid that when Sima Shangzhi's army arrived, these people would capture his father and son and surrender to the city.
"Sir, it's late at night. Let's go back to the house and rest for a while." Yu Hong stepped forward to help Yu Kai up and said softly.
Yu Kai was exhausted mentally and physically, and was helped back to his residence by his son in a daze.
Yu Hong closed the door and said, "Sir, we can't do anything. We have to leave quickly."
Yu Kai seemed to have been pricked by a needle and said sharply: "Where to go? Yu wants to live and die with Liyang City. There are more than 6,000 soldiers in the city. The Jingzhou army will arrive in a few days at most. What are you afraid of?"
Yu Hong poured a cup of tea and drank two cups himself. Seeing that his father had calmed down, Yu Hongfang said: "Sir, look at who else is in the lobby. If the court is full of troops, who can you and I rely on? "
Yu Kai put down the cup in his hand dejectedly, and said in a bitter voice for a while: "In your opinion, what should I do?"
"Leave quickly, leave overnight." Yu Hong whispered: "My child heard that the Jingzhou Army was coming to Wuhu, and our family has more than 300 people, so he protected the family, packed up his belongings and went to Wuhu for temporary shelter. After settling his family, Then follow the Jingzhou soldiers and horses to the east. If you can win, you can return to Liyang. If you lose, you will have a place to retreat."
Yu Kai pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "That's the only way."...
Five miles west of Liyang City, in a sheltered place from the wind, five hundred Qingqi were wrapped in felt blankets and lying on the ground, snoring into sleep.
How to conduct long-distance raids is also one of the topics discussed in the military. During this attack on Liyang, Yang Anxuan ordered each person to carry a roll of felt blanket, a sword, a bow, two arrow tubes, three kilograms of fried rice mixed with minced meat and five liang of minced meat. No baggage should be taken and they should travel lightly.
Along the way, they ate in the name of going south under the orders of the imperial court. There was a new harvest of summer grain, and there were official documents from the Fifth Ministry of War and a letter from General Guangwei, so there was no problem with supplies.
After running around for a day, the soldiers were already exhausted. Yang Anxuan arranged the watch and fell asleep. I was sleeping soundly when I felt someone shaking me, and a low voice came from my ears, "General, wake up, general, wake up."
Yang Anxuan woke up immediately, opened his eyes, and saw clearly that it was Meng Long Fu with the help of the moonlight. Turning over and sitting up, Yang Anxuan asked in a low voice: "It's almost Yin time."
Meng Longfu was on duty at Chou Shi, and Yang Anxuan replaced him at Yin Shi. Meng Longfu whispered: "It's not Yin time yet, but there is movement at the south gate of Liyang City."
Although the army is resting, secret sentries must be posted, otherwise the camp will not be known to be attacked. Yang Anxuan also arranged for several secret sentries to guard the four gates of Liyang City to avoid accidents. Unexpectedly, there was an accident.
He stood up quietly and followed Meng Longfu to a short hill not far away and looked south. In the night, he saw the lights flickering at the south gate of Liyang City, and the torches were connected in a string and winding toward the southeast.
The secret sentry stepped forward and reported: "General Yang, the south gate of Liyang City opened a quarter of an hour ago, and a group of carriages and horses came out of the city, about two to three hundred people, running towards the east dock."
At this time, two to three hundred people left the city and rushed to the dock. No need to ask whether it was Yu Kai who was trying to escape. Yang Anxuan secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, he led his team to drive three hundred miles to the outside of Liyang City, otherwise Yu Kai would have fled tomorrow.
After waking up the sleeping soldiers, Yang Anxuan left a hundred people to look after the horses, and led the rest towards the light of the fire.
From a distance, I saw several ships parked at the pier, with moving figures carrying things to the ships.
It really took no effort at all. Yang Anxuan drew out his sword and led his men towards the dock.
The light was dim at night, and the torches were being pulled by the river wind. When Yang Anxuan and others approached twenty steps away, someone was startled and shouted: "Who is it?"
"King Qiao's army has arrived. Throw away your weapons and avoid death." Yang Anxuan shouted loudly, raising his sword and moving forward.

Chapter 201: Taking advantage of the situation
Yu Kai Buqu was unprepared, and Yang Anxuan led his men to rush close to them, killing dozens of them one after another. Seeing the large number of officers and soldiers, those tribes either threw down their weapons and squatted on the ground, or fled in all directions in the dark.
The overall situation was decided, Yang Anxuan shouted loudly: "Seize the ship, don't let the ship go."
Among the three midships, Yang Anxuan was sure that Yu Kai was trying to escape, so he rushed towards the middle ship with a knife.
Yu Kai was in the boat when he heard the sound of killings on the dock. He walked out of the cabin and saw the cold light flashing on the dock. He knew something was wrong and shouted loudly, "Sail the boat, sail the boat quickly."
Because they thought the speed of moving things was too slow, the boatmen were driven by Yu Hong to move things. Suddenly, they had to start the boat and they couldn't even find the manpower.
The cries of the family members rang out. Yu Hong grabbed his father and said, "Sir, it's too late. Let's escape in a small boat."
Yu Kai glanced at the belongings in the cabin with great pain. This was his decades of hard work. There were countless treasures, including more than a thousand taels of gold alone. He really couldn't bear to part with them.
After returning to the cabin, I picked up a box and was pulled by Yu Hong to the side of the ship. The ship was leaning against the side of the ship. Several tribes reached out to pick up Yu Kai and his son from the ship.
After Yu Hong put his foot down, he loudly ordered: "Quickly, go to Wuhu."
Yu Kai said anxiously: "Wait a minute, your mother and your brothers haven't boarded the boat yet."
"It's too late. Let's go quickly." Yu Hong urged: "If it's too late, we won't be able to leave. Let's wait until the Jingzhou army arrives and then rescue them."
At this time, Yang Anxuan had already rushed onto the Mengquan ship and shouted loudly: "I am ordered by the king to attack the traitor Yu Kai. Ignore the others, abandon your weapons and squat down with your head in your hands."
The sound was particularly loud in the night sky. When Yu Kai heard the shouting, he no longer cared about his wife, children, and children, and sobbed: "Let's go quickly."
By the time Yang Anxuan arrived on the other side, the walking boat had already slipped five or six feet away in the night and disappeared in the night.
Yu Kai ran away, and the Yu family had no fighting spirit and abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
The opportunity was not to be missed, Yang Anxuan said to Yin Ji: "Send a hundred brothers to guard the ship. Meng Longfu, you follow Yu to Liyang City."
While speaking, Yang Anxuan winked at Yin Ji. Yin Ji understood it and said with a smile: "Don't worry, general, I will take care of it."...
The torch lit up again under the south gate of Liyang City, and Yang Anxuan shouted loudly: "Brothers in the city open the city gate. Yu Cishi ordered me to come back and get the things."
The officers and soldiers in the city did not realize that there was a fraud, so they opened the city gate as promised. Yang Anxuan led his people into the city and shouted loudly: "I have been ordered by the king to attack the traitor Yu Kai. Yu Kai and his son have been captured. Please leave quickly." When driving and governing, anyone who disobeys the order will be killed."
The defenders of Liyang City were in chaos, and Yang Anxuan said loudly: "Brothers, don't be afraid. The king has an order. Only Yu Kai's crime will be investigated, and no one else will be held accountable."
The defenders have become more stable, and most of them have no intention of dying with the city. The soldiers and horses of Yuzhou are originally soldiers of the imperial court, and even the governor Yu has been arrested. Who is willing to rebel.
A famous captain came forward and said: "General, are you a subordinate of King Qiao? The court really will not hold us accountable for our mistakes."
By the light of the torch, he noticed that there were many defenders in the city. Yang Anxuan was worried, but on the surface he looked calm and said with a smile: "We are all brothers, why bother to use swords and guns? What have those big shots got to do with us when they are fighting for power and profit?"
One sentence narrowed the distance, and soldiers and horses from Yuzhou echoed, "Yes, we are all members of our own family", "It's a pity that Brother Feng He died under the sword of his own people"...
Yuzhou Biejia Zhouchuan and Zhizhong Lingying arrived quickly and bowed to Yang Anxuan anxiously. As Yuzhou officials, they could not escape the blame for the governor's rebellion.
After greeting each other, Yang Anxuan motioned to Meng Longfu to separate the human wall, bowed to Zhou Chuan and Ling Ying and said: "I am the governor of Runan, Yang Anxuan. I have met Zhou Biejia and Ling Zhizhong."
Zhou Chuan was stunned and asked: "Are you Yang Anxuan, not a subordinate of King Qiao? Are your soldiers and horses from Runan County?"
Yang Anxuan said with a smile: "The lower officials were ordered by the king to put down the rebellion and kidnapped Yu Jishi's family at the dock. Several of Yu Jishi's people escaped, and his family and tribe were captured by fools. Zhou Biejia, could you please appease the defenders in the city and send People cross the river to deliver messages to welcome King Qiao's army."
Ling Ying asked in surprise: "General Yang, how many people did you bring?"
"Five hundred Qingqi." Yang Anxuan responded.
Zhou Chuan and Ling Ying looked at each other. This General Yang was really full of courage. Five hundred people actually dared to seize Liyang City. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 201: Taking advantage of the situation
I know that there are still six to seven thousand defenders in the city.
However, the two of them had already decided to wait for the court troops to arrive before trying to surrender the city. Now that Yang Anxuan had captured Liyang City first, it was a good thing for them. Passive surrender and active welcome were two different things. Moreover, Yang Anxuan was the governor of Runan, so in name, He is a native of Yuzhou.
After Zhou Chuan learned Yang Anxuan's true identity, he put on airs and said: "I and Ling Zhizhong are discussing the matter of welcoming King Qiao into the city. Governor Yang has arrived just in time. You can lead people to control Sima Hefang. I will handle other matters myself." Arrangement."jj.br>
A group of people came running along the street holding torches. Ling Ying reminded in a low voice: "This is Sima Hefang."
The state Sima Hema was a close confidant of the governor. Before Yu Kai left, he told He Fang to just hold on for one or two days and then he would attract soldiers and horses from Jingzhou.
He Fang did not dare to be careless and led people to patrol the four cities. At the west gate, he heard that the imperial soldiers and horses had entered the city, so he quickly led people to check.
He also planned to act according to the opportunity. If the Jingzhou soldiers and horses arrived first, they would naturally help defend the city. If the imperial soldiers and horses arrived first, they would take advantage of the opportunity to greet them.
The lights at the south gate were bright, and He Fang shouted loudly: "Which general is commanding the troops? He is late to greet me. Please forgive me."
Zhou Chuan and Ling Ying both looked timid and took a step back. Yang Anxuan stood upright with his sword in hand, staring at where he was striding forward.
He Fang was dressed in military uniform, the armor on his body shone coldly in the torch light, and his face was cold.
Yang Anxuan took the lead and said with a smile: "He Sima, I will come to quell the rebellion on the orders of King Kuaiji and King Qiao. Please also ask He Sima to restrain his subordinates to avoid additional casualties."
He Fang glanced around and found that there were not many soldiers and horses entering the city. Even the city walls were not occupied. Yuzhou soldiers and horses were still holding weapons.
While he was hesitating, Xu Yan, the officer next to him, exclaimed: "He Sima, this person is Yang Anxuan, the governor of Runan, not a subordinate of King Qiao."
After Xu Yan resigned from Sima of Runan County, he came to the Prefecture Sima Mansion and took up a post.
He Fang immediately pulled out the knife from his waist and shouted loudly: "Yang Anxuan, what do you want to do by pretending to be King Qiao's soldiers and horses?"
Seeing that something was not going well, Yang Anxuan drew his Liquan sword and stabbed him without further explanation. He Fang shouted angrily: "You are so bold, you actually dare to assassinate me and capture him."
Xu Yan and other people around him drew their swords. Meng Longfu stood beside Yang Anxuan, drew his sword and slashed in which direction.
He Fang was busy parrying the sword thrust by Yang Anxuan, but was struck by a knife on his left arm, which was sliced off. Update without error@
He Fang screamed, Yang Anxuan's sword grabbed the gap, and passed through the heart with one sword, and He Fang fell in a pool of blood.
Yang Anxuan shouted sternly: "The imperial court will be here in an instant. Do you want to die in vain? Why don't you give up your weapons?"
Blood dripped along the tip of the sword. Yang Anxuan looked at Xu Yan and said, "Xu Yan, are you trying to implicate your father at home?"
This sentence touched Xu Yan's pain. Xu Yan sheathed his sword and said loudly: "Brothers, now that the matter is over, let's welcome the imperial army into the city.".
