Monk Luo took the lead and rushed straight to Huicheng's door.
Du Shisheng climbed down and quickly grabbed the reins: "Master Huifeng, why don't you go to the Marshal's Mansion instead of turning back? Time is so tight. If Shuhu Gaoqi reacts, then..."
Hot steam steamed from Monk Luo's bald head. He shouted: "You can't go, the situation is wrong!"
"Why is the situation wrong? Things are going well for Zhang Rou and Miao Daorun. They have..."
"It's because it went so smoothly!"
Monk Luo wiped his sweat and looked around. This fat man, who usually showed off his roughness to others, now completely returned to his true colors as an elite scout on Xijing Road, with a 120% vigilance in his eyes.
"Yesterday and the day before yesterday, when we stepped on the plates, we clearly saw that the soldiers patrolling the city wall and various parts of the city were in chaos. There were the armed guards, the Weijie army guarding Zhi, the subordinates of the Zhongdu Police Inspectorate, and Cong Jin The mountains will be retreated to the divided garrison and Chi army in Zhongdu, right?"
"That's right! Master Huifeng, these soldiers have neither fighting spirit nor training. Many of them don't even have enough to eat. Let's prepare enough..."
Du Shisheng was halfway through his persuasion when he was interrupted by Monk Luo.
"Now I only see the Wuwei Army, the Weijie Army and the officers under the Zhongdu Police Patrol! Where are the soldiers and horses who returned from Jinshan? Are they dead?"
】
"Uh... didn't I tell Master Huifeng? Zhao Gongzuo, who arranged the escape, has some relationship with Shuhu Gaoqi's handsome man. He found out yesterday that Shuhu Gaoqi planned to perform tomorrow, so today In the evening, various troops will be temporarily transferred back to the camp. The patrol troops and horses tonight will be a little less relaxed. I guess there will be less obstacles for Zhang Rou and Miao Daorun to conquer the old troops..."
Du Shisheng himself had just found out a few old friends this afternoon, and was able to sneak into the meeting arranged by Zhao Gongzuo and find out the details of that night. Then he was busy persuading Zhang Rou and Miao Daorun, and arranging many details. It seemed that he really forgot to mention this to Monk Luo.
But looking at Monk Luo's expression now... this matter is very urgent?
"Why did Shuhu Gaoqi transfer all his troops back to the camp? Although the Mongolian Khan went south to fight, there was still Mu Huali with his troops and horses, watching eagerly around Zhongdu. He was so confident that he reduced his troops to Those camps? There are ghosts!"
Monk Luo touched his scalp vigorously, and his big palm-leaf fan hand moved from his forehead to the back of his neck, making a crunching sound.
He reined in his horse and turned back, looking at the road he came from. As Zhang Rou and Miao Daorun started to move, the city had begun to noisy. Someone ran in panic from the middle of the road. It seemed that he was moving very quickly, not guarding against the garlic under his feet. He broke his mouth and chewed mud.
Looking further south, in the dark night, the silhouettes of the tall mansions in the south of the city can be vaguely seen.
Monk Luo cursed and pointed there with his whip.
"The direction we were attacking just now was the handsome mansion of Shuhu Gaoqi. The power of two to three hundred soldiers suddenly activated and surged along the street. The momentum was not small, but they didn't react at all. In this handsome mansion, There are hundreds of guards stationed there every day. How can there be any reason not to be alarmed when there is an incident? Unless... Lao Du, think about it again, Shuhu Gaoqi suddenly shrinks his troops, how unexpected is it? What is he going to do? Is he here? what to prepare?"
As soon as this series of questions came out, there was a loud noise in the direction of Shuhu Gaoqi's handsome mansion.
Monk Luo dismounted from his horse, quickly climbed the steps along the climbing trail, and climbed to the top in one breath to take a look. That direction suddenly lit up in his field of vision. It was a large number of soldiers rushing out from the commander's mansion. The newly lit torches in their hands overwhelmed the starlight and moonlight, making the night sky glow red.
With this size of troops and this prepared attitude, if Monk Luo rushed over with 300 people, he would probably die. Fortunately, he still had the sense of battlefield that he had back then, so he immediately led the troops back.
To the north of the Marshal's Mansion, inside and outside Danfeng Gate, is where the guards and troops are stationed. At this time, hundreds of cavalry suddenly rushed into the military camp and threw torches everywhere. The horses' hooves were like thunder, and the shouts of killing were like thunder. The guards and soldiers rose up in panic, and were killed as soon as they showed up. Those who were lucky enough to survive ran around and screamed, suddenly spreading the chaos.
Du Shisheng stared at the scene, his hands trembling: "Is this thief rebelling? Does he want to be the second Hu Shahu? Impossible!"
He yelled at Monk Luo: "All the powerful sect kings in Zhongdu died last year! Unless it was the prince. No, no, the prince has been seriously ill in the past few months, and there is no way he can respond to Shuhu Gaoqi! Besides, he was originally He is the prince, the throne will be his sooner or later, why is he anxious?"
He changed his mind and shouted again: "What's more, he is already in Pingzhang, and he has been the most favored minister of the emperor this year. Why did he imitate Hu Shahu and kidnap the emperor? Even if he kidnapped the emperor, he would not be promoted much. Level? If he wants to be the emperor himself, this is just a middle capital city..."
Monk Luo felt that Du Shisheng was a little crazy, so he said in a good voice: "Old Du, don't think about it anymore. Now that Gao Qi, the tiger tiger, has launched his attack, the situation in Zhongdu will be chaotic immediately. Over at the palace, we are also going to I can’t get involved. The original plan is no longer working. We have to think about how to get the benefits that belong to us.”
Du Shisheng suddenly jumped: "Dog thief! Dog thief!"
"What?"
"...This guy doesn't want to rebel! No, no, he just wants to rebel! He surrendered the black Tatars!"
In the past two years, more and more Dajin soldiers have defected to Mongolia. But generally speaking, it is at most the defender of a certain city or the officer of a small unit who surrendered. It is really unbelievable that a warrior as rich as Dajin and Hu Gaoqi colluded with the Mongols. .
But at the same time that Du Shisheng was yelling, the level of chaos in Zhongdu suddenly increased tenfold, and the whole city suddenly erupted everywhere like boiling oil with cold water poured into it.
Among the countless voices, Shuhu Gaoqi's troops galloped and shouted loudly, like ghosts crying and wolf howling: "Kneel down and surrender without killing! Mongolian soldiers have entered the city!"
Everyone in Huicheng's sect yelled at him.
The Mongols will not fly out of the sky, and with everyone's eyesight and ears, there is really no sign of the Mongolian cavalry in the city, but since Shuhu Gaoqi's troops shouted like this, it is obvious that they are pretending to be powerful... They are really fighting The Mongols are in cahoots!
They may want to seize control of Zhongdu before the Mongols enter the city to give themselves more bargaining chips, or they may want to take advantage of the opportunity to find a new master to do something in Zhongdu and reap some benefits.
As one of the few important ministers of the Kingdom of Jin, Du Shisheng suddenly rebelled. Du Shisheng was really unprepared and could not guess the intentions of Shuhu Gaoqi's men.
The question is, at this time, using the banner of the Mongols to scare the people, can they really suppress them? Can you really make millions of people in Hecheng kneel down and surrender?
After all, Shuhu Gaoqi is a high-ranking official with fine clothes and fine food. He doesn't know what ordinary people think!
Zhongdu City has been under the threat of Mongolia for a long time. The people's hearts have been unstable, and their lives have been difficult. They have been repeatedly attacked by hunger and fear, and people's emotions have long been suppressed to the extreme. Now, suddenly someone in the city claimed that the Mongolian army had entered the city, and there were constant fighting everywhere, and the whole city was suddenly in an uproar.
Under the thick darkness of the night, thousands of refugees and ordinary people were running around like headless flies, fighting, fighting, and colliding with each other, fighting for their way everywhere without knowing what to do.
Not far from Huicheng Gate, many neighborhoods went from panic to frenzy, and some people even rushed out of the road with swords drawn, slashing at anyone they saw. All kinds of madness were indescribable. Then there were the shrill cries, wailings, and begging for mercy from women and children, which made people dizzy. In an instant, tens of thousands of frantic voices merged into one voice:
"Run away! Run away! Let us get out of the city!"
This terrifying momentum can also be heard outside Zhongdu City.
Mu Huali gently stroked the mane of the war horse to calm down the overly motivated war horse.
"Look, isn't this a mess?"
Under the admiring gazes of several thousand households around him, he said: "As long as the sun goes around the six uni poles, the people in the city will run away. Tell the Aljinchis to cheer up and watch carefully. Let’s see which city gate opens first... we’ll rush in through this gate, kill everyone, and flatten the city.”
