So far, so good.
Everyone involved with the operation breathed a sigh of relief.
Such risky operations may only be possible by Ding Haijun, whose army is filled with green forest heroes. Next, it depends on how much Du Shisheng can squeeze out of the people in front of him, and how far Miao Daorun and Zhang Rou can use these things.
These two are extraordinary people who rose from the wilderness. In the past two years, although they were restrained in their trade-offs in the court, they could not compete with the high-ranking officials of the Jurchens, and they were not the same as the entangled Han officials. But when it came time to tear off their dignity and seize troops and power, they could only Who are you afraid of talking with the knife in your hand?
Although the Zhongdu City was large, many soldiers and generals were focused on the Mongols outside, so they could not prevent the incident from happening. Although the Mongolian army outside the city was ferocious, Genghis Khan himself was still chasing Guo Xuanshi, regardless of whether they Regardless of the victory or defeat on the battlefield, it is impossible to change the course and complete the arrangements for a large-scale siege in three to five days.
Just tonight, the city of Zhongdu will be filled with blood again. Those unreliable characters, even those whose intentions are detrimental to Ding Haijun, will all die. No matter what the Mongols think, they will definitely hit a reintegrated and stable Zhongdu!
Now that they have obtained this place, Miao Daorun, Zhang Rou, Monk Luo and others did not delay and immediately acted on their own. These are all extremely talented people, and they act more swiftly and exceptionally, without the need for Du Shisheng's guidance.
So he was happy to sit at the top of the city, rest for a while, and wait for the next result.
After a while, there was a slight noise on the top of the city. Du Shisheng was startled and quickly stood up to look. It turned out that it was Miao Daorun's old troops who suddenly responded to the call and directly killed several military academies who refused to obey. Then the troops had to reorganize and march from several nearby towers to the distance.
In the night, the specific situation of the soldiers could not be seen clearly. They could only see the torches surging like a wave, crossing the horse faces and battlements one after another along the city wall at an unusually fast speed.
It seems that Miao Daorun is still humble. He has his own prestige in the eyes of the grassroots soldiers, and it is impossible for a few Jurchen officers to easily replace him.
Miao Daorun's side went smoothly, but where was Zhang Rou and Monk Luo?
Du Shisheng looked at the city again, and saw that Huichengmen's unusual movements had aroused vigilance in many places in the city. There was a lot of panic in many neighborhoods, the sound of children crying could be heard, and faint lights could be seen turning on and off. .
Zhang Rou and others did not know where they had gone, but Du Shisheng was not worried. Monk Luo seems to be rough, but he never makes mistakes in his work. The 300 men he led were carefully selected from the 70,000 men in the entire Ding Navy. They were not only well-armed, but also specially trained for the terrain of Zhongdu and received training in the military camp north of Yidu. They marched at night, taking advantage of the chaos. Even if the enemy was ten times or twenty times more numerous, they could only be defeated with one blow. In addition, Gong Wei Zhi was being held hostage by Zhang Rou. The group of people first went to the Marshal's Mansion to control the magic tiger Gao Qi. , and then surrounding the palace was as easy as a piece of cake.
In the past two days, Du Shisheng was worried about Guo Ning's situation, and at the same time he was determined to do big things. To outsiders, he just walked around leisurely, inquired about some news, and participated in a rally. In fact, among the many complicated links, none of them were Did he plan ahead?
By now, he had not slept for two days and two nights. When he reaches middle age, he is not the kind of person who is extremely energetic, so he is extremely tired.
Although the major events were far from settled, what happened next was beyond the scholar's control, so his spirit relaxed and sleepiness surged up uncontrollably.
Originally, I should have had a few more words with He Shilie Heshou to establish a relationship. Ding Haijun does not completely reject the Jurchen regime. This Heshi Lieheshou is both courageous and smart. As long as both parties cooperate happily, he will benefit from him in the future. But at this moment, Du Shisheng was really tired and had to rest for a while.
At this time, there was no one on the tower. The soldiers were controlling the prisoners below, and even his servants went down to help.
Du Shisheng walked half a circle around the city tower and found a hidden place at the angle between the city wall and the city tower. I thought, just sit for a while and get up immediately if something happens. As a result, as soon as he put his body in the corner and leaned his head against the brick wall behind him, he fell asleep immediately.
In his sleep, Du Shisheng couldn't help laughing.
An unarmed old scholar, a madman wanted by the imperial court for decades, could do this. At that time, Prime Minister Xu Chi's family was said to be full of talents, and it was said that there were ten philosophers as the backbone. For a time, he controlled the government and had great power. And Du Shisheng is just a small person in the Xu family who is responsible for contacting small people.
Now it seems that those people who obtained official positions are just like Prime Minister Xu. They are dogs used by the Jurchens to do hard work and bear notoriety. In the end, they were burned down by the Jurchens across the river and died in disgrace. Who can do what I, Du Shi, do? How about rising to this level?
Such a bold plan, even Guo Xuanshi couldn't think of it, right?
He asked Monk Luo to help me. His original hope was to keep Zhongdu City in front of the Mongolian troops. At most, Monk Luo's subordinates could only behead a few young generals who were trying to waver, in order to scare the monkeys and nip the trouble in the bud.
But I, Du Shi, became a veteran of the Ding Navy and spent two whole years alone in Zhongdu. Is this just for this? What I am doing now is to capture and control Zhongdu!
This plan is so bold that only the equally bold Ambassador Guo would approve it. Once the plan is successful, even if Guo Xuanshi fails in the field battle and captures Zhongdu, there will be many benefits in the future, so it will not be considered a defeat; and if Guo Xuanshi can defeat Mongolia and is in control of Zhongdu, then it will be a direct defeat. It’s time to change things!
Du Shisheng was quite talented and learned, but he also always relied on his courage. As a result, he suffered from depression for decades, and the anger in his heart was always there. At this moment, all the blocks disappeared in his dream.
He seemed to see his old boss Xu Chiguo and his colleagues looking at him with respect and envy one by one. But when he walked in, these people immediately bowed and saluted, even touching their foreheads to the ground, trembling and not daring to raise their heads. .
He seemed to see many high-ranking officials who had despised him, and even led people to hunt him down after his misfortune. One by one, they tied their hands behind their backs, carried thorns on their backs, and kowtowed incessantly, just hoping that he could appear in front of the emperor. Just say some kind words and don't bring harm to your family.
This situation made him even more happy, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh.
Then the scene suddenly changed. He saw the battle, saw countless soldiers struggling to hold on under the tide of enemy cavalry, corpses strewn in the fields, and saw the important generals of the Ding Navy dying one by one under the rain of arrows!
How can this be?
Du Shisheng's mood suddenly fell from the high altitude to the bottom. He was scared, panicked, shouted loudly, and suddenly woke up from his sleep.
】
It turned out to be a dream.
He stood up supporting the brick wall with his hands, feeling pain in his waist and back. He looked up and saw that the sky was dark, the night was already deep, there was no one in the city tower, and there were no soldiers on the nearby city wall. The surroundings were a bit too quiet.
Are Miao Daorun and Zhang Rou going well? To what extent has the matter that should be in Monk Luo's hands been accomplished? How is the situation in Zhongdu? How about the grain depot? How about the armory? How is the military camp? How about Shuai Mansion? What about the palace?
Many questions suddenly rushed into his mind, making him jump up. He rushed to the inside of the tower in a few steps, pressed against the parapet and looked down.
Then I saw Monk Luo leading his men, running over without hesitation, still shouting something.
Du Shisheng has known Monk Luo for a long time and has never seen him so irritable.
When he was about to call out hello, he heard the sound of footsteps suddenly erupting behind him in the Wengcheng City.
At this time, directly south of Huicheng Gate and west of Longjin Bridge, was the residence of Pingzhang Zhengshi and Marshal Shuhu Gaoqi.
Shuhu Gaoqi knew that something must have happened in the city, so the outside world was noisy and even fighting, but he didn't care at all.
He sat in his magnificent room with painted beams and beams, staring at the table with his bloodshot eyes.
The table is right in front of you, with an emerald screen, a gilt towel rack, and a basin made of sterling silver. Displayed together with many other furnishings was a rough wooden box. The box had long been opened, and what was inside was a head treated with lime.
The head was treated very roughly, the bun was disheveled, the eyes were bulging, the expression was ferocious and the color was black and blue. At first glance it was impossible to tell who it was. However, Shuhu Gaoqi was always familiar with his colleagues, so he recognized it two days ago. This head belonged to the important general of the Jin Dynasty and the servant of Xuanfu in Hebei Province.
