,!
boom! boom! boom!
Chen Yongfu, who was resting in bed, was awakened by a rapid knock on the door.
"Who is it? I can't sleep in the middle of the night." Chen Yongfu sat up from the bed with a look of displeasure on his face and rubbed his cheeks with both hands.
At this time, I only heard the people outside the door shouting: "The general is in trouble, something big has happened, the rebels have entered the city."
The voice was somewhat familiar, and Chen Yongfu, who was sitting on the bed, was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized that the person outside the door was his own soldier.
He hurriedly jumped out of bed, picked up the clothes on the shelf nearby and put a set on himself. He quickly walked to the door of the house, pulled out the latch and opened the door.
"Sorry, General, the rebels have entered the city and are coming towards us from the North City Gate." The soldier outside the gate said eagerly.
After hearing this, Chen Yongfu quickly asked: "How did the rebels enter the city? Why didn't you hear the rebels attacking the city?"
"It was discovered by General Cao who was on duty." The soldier said, "Not long ago, fireworks suddenly shot up in the direction of the North City Gate. General Cao was worried and sent people to the North City Gate to inquire about the situation, but found that the rebels had entered. city, and the people of Xuanwuwei are also with the rebels."
Snapped!
Chen Yongfu slapped his palm heavily on the door frame and cursed angrily: "Damn Xuanwuwei, a group of rebellious people, they actually betrayed the imperial court and became thieves. I will definitely have them cut into pieces."
After scolding, he said to the soldiers in front of him: "Give me the order, immediately gather the troops and horses, and follow the general to meet the enemy."
"Yes." The soldier agreed, turned around and ran to convey the order to the battalions below.
In the same courtyard as Chen Yongfu, there are many rooms where his own soldiers live.
Many times, military generals are closer to their own soldiers than to their mother-in-law.
The movement in the yard woke up the soldiers and servants who were resting in other rooms, and they all put on their armor and picked up their weapons and came to the yard.
Chen Yongfu also put on his armor and stomach under the service of his men.
Arriving in the yard, Chen Yongfu looked at the dozen or so soldiers and servants in the yard.
As the commander-in-chief of Henan, although he is not as good as the commander-in-chief of Jiubian, he still has more than a few servants. After all, even a thousand households will have more than a dozen servants.
When Henan was still relatively stable, he had more than a hundred soldiers and servants, and they accompanied Yang He to fight against the Tiger Banner several times. In the end, there were only a dozen left in front of him.
During the time he came to Kaifeng Mansion, he had not thought about raising more soldiers and servants, especially after having sufficient food, he was even more interested in cultivating a group of soldiers.
In fact, he has already set out to do it.
However, cultivating soldiers and servants cannot be accomplished in ten and a half days. It requires long-term support and continuous kindness and kindness.
Without enough kindness, it is impossible for a servant to fight to the death for his master.
Therefore, after spending so many days in Kaifeng Mansion, the only people he could truly trust were the dozen or so personal servants who had been following him for a long time.
"Brothers, follow me out of the city." Chen Yongfu said suddenly after scanning all the soldiers and servants one by one.
His words immediately stunned everyone present.
At this time, you shouldn't say follow me to kill the enemy, but why should you follow me out of the city?
"What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you go get the horses and ride out of the city." Chen Yongfu saw that all the soldiers and servants were still in a daze, so he couldn't help but urge him.
The soldiers and servants who came back to their senses immediately ran towards the yard where the stable was located.
Only the leader of the soldiers stayed and came to Chen Yongfu. He said puzzledly: "General, there are thousands of soldiers and horses in our camp, and we are fully capable of competing with the rebels in the city."
"Don't forget, not only the soldiers and horses of the rebels, but also the soldiers and horses of Xuanwuwei are also with the rebels." Chen Yongfu said.
The leader of the soldiers said worriedly: "If we just leave like this, what will happen to Governor Yang? Once the court finds out about this, I'm afraid it will embarrass you, General."
"It's not certain whether there will still be this supervisor after today." Chen Yongfu snorted, and then said, "As for the imperial court, there is no need to worry. As long as we have troops in our hands, the imperial court will not really What about us? We are really in a hurry. At worst, I will take you to surrender to the thieves."
After a short time, the soldiers led the horses outside the courtyard gate.
"General, the horses are ready." A soldier came into the yard to announce.
Chen Yongfu said to the leader of his own soldiers: "Let's go out of the city now. The rebels will be left to other defenders in the city to deal with them."
With that said, he strode out.
The leader of the soldiers followed up.
When they arrived outside the courtyard gate, a soldier handed the reins to the two people.
Chen Yongfu got on his horse, said hello, and rushed towards the city gate he was guarding.
Defending the city naturally did not require him, the commander-in-chief, to personally climb the city wall to guard the city. He usually only walked around the city wall every day and then returned to the camp.
The man on duty tonight is one of his guerrillas, the same one who raided the Yun family in the first place. It can be said that he, the commander-in-chief, trusts his subordinates.
After learning the news that the rebels had entered the city, the city gate was heavily guarded, and Cao Youyi personally led people to guard it.
Call!
Approaching the city gate, Chen Yongfu pulled the reins, controlled his horse and stopped.
The night had not subsided and the sky was still dark, but countless torches were lit near the city gate, and the surroundings were illuminated as if it were daytime.
"General, why are you here?" Cao Youyi saw Chen Yongfu coming and hurriedly led people to greet him.
Chen Yongfu, who was riding on horseback, did not dismount, but said directly to him: "How is it here at the city gate? Has anything special happened? Are there any rebels outside the city?"
"It's very quiet outside the city. There is no trace of the rebels. In order to ensure the safety of the city gate, the general mobilized a large number of soldiers and horses to guard here to ensure nothing goes wrong." Cao Guerrilla said.
Chen Yongfu nodded with satisfaction and said: "You did a good job. Now open the city gate immediately. I will lead the troops to fight out and sneak attack the rebel camp outside the city."
"Now?" Cao Youyi's eyes were blank.
He had already sent someone to inform the other party that the rebels had entered Kaifeng Fucheng from the North City Gate through Xuanwuwei. He did not believe that the other party had not received this news.
"Yes, that's right now." Chen Yongfu said with certainty.
Cao Guoji hesitated and said: "But the rebels are coming here from the direction of Beicheng. Once the rebels attack, the general needs to be in charge personally."
"It is precisely because the rebels have entered the city that the rebel camp outside the city is empty. This is the best time to capture the rebel camp. Okay, it's decided. You will be in charge of the overall situation here. ." Chen Yongfu said with an unquestionable tone.
Seeing that he was determined to leave the city, Cao Youyi ordered his men to open the city gate.
