"Master, please take a look! This is the terrain around the Xiangjun River and the distribution of the bandit army that was discovered last night!" A man in light armor with a tough appearance came up to report with a file in both hands.
"open to take a look!"
The man called a companion over and opened the file. Chizhan Sagai looked at it with his hands behind his back, and saw pictures and words, very detailed. It seemed that he had put in a lot of effort in the interrogation last night.
"How do we get there?" He pointed out: "From the east side of Bianwudian, go directly along the main road?"
"I heard that Guo Ning is familiar with military affairs. The camp and surrounding farms are heavily guarded. There are many checkpoints and it is not easy to go deep. We can go from here... first to the northeast to Wuguandian, then turn to the west and pass through this The reeds in the area.”
"It looks like it has to be seventy or eighty miles? Is this road too long?" Chizhan Sagai frowned.
The road leader is still next. The key is, within the scope of Jinshan Province, Wanyan Zuocheng's subordinates are still acting timidly. What is it like?
Chizhan Sagai was Wanyan Gang's confidant. The knights who came to Anzhou were also the elites who had fought against the Pingxia Iron Harriers in Guanlong. Although they were not many in number, they rode tall horses across the plains, even if The thieves were rampant, and he didn't feel the need to worry too much.
"That disciple Shanhang is most likely going to feed the Jun River camp. There are countless urban foxes and rats in Wocheng County who are colluding with the thieves. If we delay on the road again... wouldn't we be given away for nothing? Any chance of them colluding in a confession?”
He emphasized his tone: "Ask again, is there any other way? The key is to be fast!"
The lightly armored man responded quickly, turned around and ran back to the front yard.
The stocky knight who helped open the file earlier laughed and said: "After all, that group of people is just a defeated army. At most, they have some courage, but they may not be able to compare with the imperial masters? Gan Laowu is too cautious."
Chizhan Sagai shook his head: "Marshal Hu Shahu was a little vague when he talked about the battle with Yang An'er that day. Only today did we know that someone actually intervened in the battle. Although Hu Shahu has an arrogant personality, he is a well-deserved warrior, and his private soldiers are extremely elite. . This Guo Ning was able to take advantage of Hu Shahu, he is by no means an easy person! Hu Xin, you must urge the soldiers to make all preparations, and cannot be negligent."
The stocky knight Hu Xin said quickly: "What the master said is absolutely true! I will not dare to ignore it!"
After a pause, he continued: "However, I always feel that it is too ridiculous for a group of defeated soldiers to create such a big situation out of thin air. Is it possible... This person has long been friends with the Tu Dan family, and it is simply Tu Dan Yi who came to the rescue in advance. Put it in Anzhou to create trouble for Master Zuo Cheng?"
Chizhan Sagai's eyes flashed: "That makes sense!"
Being reminded by his subordinates, he suddenly thought of a new angle. He couldn't help swinging his robe sleeves and pacing back and forth under the eaves. After walking around for two times, he stood still, pointed at Hu Xin, and said, "Well said!"
The competition in the court was much more complicated and bloody than the conflict of forces in the Guanlong area. Even though the Jin Dynasty was facing the Mongolian offensive and was already in dire straits, countless people still climbed up one after another. When they reach this stage, success will leave their name in history and glory, but failure will result in death and a legacy of infamy for thousands of years. It can be said that every step is bloody and shocking.
Wanyan Zuocheng relied on his management in the court over the past decades with one hand and the hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in Jinshan with the other, so he certainly had the upper hand. But with Tu Shanyi's qualifications, reputation, and family power, how could he have no backup plan?
Master Zuo Cheng has been deducing the hidden methods of the Tu Shan family before, but he has never been able to find any clues... Maybe this Guo Ning is one of them?
Nine times out of ten, that's the case.
Tu Danyi was a person who cared about reputation, so much so that he was constrained in doing things in Zhongdu, and some even thought he was pedantic. But since this old man is in a high position, there are always a lot of things that are inconvenient to do... Maybe it's just for Guo Ning!
His own family was in charge of the overall situation for You Cheng, and he put on a sanctimonious appearance. His younger brother knew the affairs of Daxing Mansion and flattered the emperor as a close minister; his nephew was the governor of Anzhou and acted as a cover. And in the continuous lakes north of Anzhou, there is an ambush of a wolf-like tiger army.
This army was suddenly launched at the beginning of the year, and even Hu Shahu suffered a loss!
What a good plan, what a good plan!
It's a pity that I, Chizhan Sagai, exposed it!
Chizhan Sagai almost laughed out loud. He strode to the table, holding a piece of pancake in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Within the Jinshan Province, not to mention a single soldier, even a caterpillar or a caterpillar." Just an ant, we have to keep a close eye on Master Zuo Cheng! This time, if we find out the details of the rebels, everyone will have great achievements! Wanyan Zuo Cheng and I will definitely be generous with the reward!"
Amidst the roar of thanks from everyone, Chizhansa changed his hands and crushed the pancake into pieces: "When we have a clear picture of Jinshan Province, the army will surround us on all sides and wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop..."
Hu Xin responded: "The entire Jinshan Province is like an iron bucket in the hands of Wanyan Zuocheng!"
Chizhan Sagai laughed and said: "Not only Jinshan, but even the capital city cannot escape the control of Wanyan Zuocheng..."
Before he finished speaking, the sound of horse teams galloping outside was like thunder, and the sounds of miserable screams came one after another.
Everyone present could clearly hear that those who screamed in agony were the sentries placed outside by Chizhan Sagai and others!
The house where Chizhan Sagai and his party were stationed was close to the Governor's Mansion, so the vigilance was not neglected. Sentries were set up at several key points outside the courtyard, and some people climbed to a high place to look out with bows and crossbows.
The reason for this was naturally to prevent Tu Shanhang's men from causing trouble in the governor's mansion. But no one expected that someone would break into the city with a cavalry and take the house directly. Perhaps they came too fast and too fiercely, and the dozen or so people on guard in the outer courtyard and the dozen or so people preparing horse carriages didn't even have the slightest chance to fight back!
It's early in the morning, and the morning fog has not yet dissipated. The blood mist has filled the air, and the hall can smell a choking smell!
Hu Xin drew out his sword with his backhand and ordered his subordinates to close the courtyard door. At the same time, he ordered several men in armor and gathered them back into the main hall.
Another knight who looked like a leader asked loudly: "Du Shiwu! Who is charging outside!"
The one called Du Shiwu was the archer he placed on top of the granary behind the house. This guy must have been asleep and neglected, so he was touched under the eyes of the enemy... After returning, I must skin this guy alive, but I still have to ask him about the current situation.
The knight shouted twice, and someone from the granary in the backyard replied: "A large group of cavalry is coming! Hundreds of them..."
Before he finished speaking, Du Shiwu screamed miserably and stopped talking. The people in the courtyard clearly heard his heavy body rolling down from the granary, carrying the thatch with it, and finally hitting the ground with a "snap".
This is hard! There was also someone outflanking the backyard!
Hu Xin's expression suddenly changed and he immediately changed his words to Chi Zhansa: "I'm afraid we can't leave, so let's fight for a while and ask the master to change clothes and pretend..."
Without saying anything, the courtyard door was hit by something unknown, making a loud noise.
The thick door panel crackled and cracked, and the arm-thick door rail was knocked away and smashed into the courtyard. Then the two door panels fell to the ground, stirring up dust all over the sky.
The next moment, several riders rushed in from outside the door.
People in the courtyard had no time to think about it, so they shouted angrily and rushed to meet the enemy.
They are all fierce warriors. In terms of fighting skills, they are definitely not inferior to anyone else. But after all, they were having breakfast, and many people's armors were still placed under the eaves, and some people's usual weapons were pulled outside. The party that rushed into the courtyard were all well-equipped and armed with spears and iron spears, looking down from a high position.
How can this be achieved?
Not to mention, there were people climbing up on the outer wall of the courtyard and shooting two rows of arrows one after another. Arrows flew across the sky, and more than a dozen people fell down in the courtyard immediately. Others were immediately charged by cavalry and stabbed with spears and spears.
Hu Xin was a warrior who cut down trees to clear a path to climb the Western Mountains and defeated the Song army. He had rich combat experience. Seeing a horse coming straight towards him, he kicked up a few swords to block him. At the same time, he dodged to the side and tried to slash sideways with his short knife. However, the knight on horseback flicked his wrist, and the spear danced around like a poisonous snake, stabbing him repeatedly.
Hu used his dagger to block twice, but felt that the tiger's mouth was about to open. He had no choice but to throw away the dagger in his hand, reached out to grab the spear shaft that the knight was stabbing at, and tried to drag the knight off his horse.
But the knight's thrust was too powerful. Although Hu Xin grabbed the barrel of the gun, he could not stop the momentum of the stabbing. The tip of the gun passed through the armor on his chest and plunged into his shoulder.
Hu Xin roared wildly and tried his best to hold on to the barrel of the gun to prevent it from piercing his bones and flesh, but the knight with the gun urged his horse to charge, instantly knocking Hu Xin backwards.
Hu Xin was still struggling, but the war horse had already caught up, and the huge hoof landed squarely on his chest. In just one move, the iron hoof sank four to five inches deep. Hu Xin's sternum was shattered, and blood flowed from his mouth like a waterfall.
It was Zhao Jue, the leader of Guo Ning's bodyguard, who trampled Hu Xin to death with his horse.
He withdrew his spear and looked around, only to see his companions from behind swarming in like wolves and tigers, crushing the enemy's resistance in the blink of an eye. Bright red blood sprayed everywhere; desperate roars filled the ears, becoming more and more murderous.
Zhao Jue's expression did not change and he shouted sternly: "Search carefully! As long as Chizhansa changes one person, no one will be left alive!"
