The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 714
The night heat is still the same as the afternoon heat, and the door is opened in the middle of the moon.

Where the bamboos are deep and the trees are dense with insects, there is a slight coolness from time to time, not the wind.

It's already July, and the weather in Bashu has made people feel very uncomfortable.

Summer is also the season when snakes, insects, rats and ants are most active.

Standing in the house, Zhao Zhi looked at the dark street outside the window and listened to the buzzing of insects outside the courtyard, his restless heart felt slightly calmed down.

Baidi City is actually a large military camp, but instead of military tents, it has been turned into houses.

The general lived in a separate room, in the central building complex of the city, while the rest of the soldiers lived scattered in the barracks, and a barracks could accommodate a dozen or even dozens of people.

Many military buildings are combined into one, and there is a low wall outside. According to the design, if bandits and spies enter the city, this low wall can separate the military camp from other buildings, and the people in the military building can use other buildings. For defense, if arson is set, the fire will be blocked by it.

Strictly speaking, in one respect, Baidi City is not quite like a traditional Chinese city, but more like a western medieval castle.

In the north of Baidi City, there is a residential area, where ordinary people live, while the people living in Baidi City are all soldiers.

There is a large amount of food stored in Baidi City, and the land is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you want to enter Baidi City, you have to go by water.

Usually Baidi City communicates with the people in the north through boats, and the defenders of Baidi City also left a dozen soldiers as guards in the northern dwellings.

In the house, it was dark, making it impossible to see the scene in the house clearly.

Zhao Zhi still stood in front of the window and stared at Baidi City under the shadow.

The bright moon moved slowly, and the cold moonlight fell into Zhao Zhi's house.

This time, Zhao Zhi's house was not as empty as before. Five soldiers in military uniforms and yellow scarves were standing in the house, holding knives in their hands.

The one person standing in the center stands in front of everyone.

The moonlight fell on the blade, and then flowed to the ground, reflecting the light of the knife as bright as a pool of autumn water.

"Qianbaihu, are you all arranged?"

Zhao Zhi turned around, withdrew his gaze from the window, walked slowly to the general standing in front, and asked in a low voice.

"Most of the Dongzhou captives lived in the east of the city, where only half of the Yizhou army was stationed. Taking advantage of the banquet, I sent twenty brothers out of the city to smear them. Before that, our people even gave them food and drink. , and the place has already been figured out.”

The general with a gloomy face took half a step forward and reported in a low voice.

"Over the port, we have arranged a few alert brothers. Once we cause trouble in Baidi City, they will set fire to the port. At the same time, they will pretend to be ambushes, beat musical instruments, and wave banners. If they think they are suspicious, they should be able to The sailors stuck in the port dare not leave the camp easily."

"There are two concentrated military buildings in the city, and people have already been arranged in the two military buildings. As soon as the order arrives, they can enter the camp immediately."

"Our own people are on duty at the city gate today. The city gate can be opened at any time. Dongzhou soldiers outside the city have no problem entering the city. The arsenal in the city is laxly guarded. Only half a team of soldiers live on the side. They arrive every day. At night, only two or three people will be left on duty, and the rest will go to the side barracks to sleep, which can be easily controlled."

The general with a gloomy face was named Qian Wu, but he was actually a hundred household officer of the Yingwei, not from the Yizhou Yellow Turban Army.

For things like detection and concealment, he is naturally at his fingertips and extremely skilled.

He was one of the military instructors sent by Xu An to the Yizhou Yellow Turban Army to train the Yizhou Yellow Turban Army.

When Dong Zhuo was still there, the southern part of Hedong County was threatened by the Yellow Turban Army to expand its army crazily, which also made the Eagle Wolf Guard hit a lot of nails, and Qian Wu was one of the most outstanding ones.

At that time, he was qualified to be the head of the village all the way in the Han army, and was then appointed to guard the gate of Wenxi City.

During the Yufuluo Uprising, he was ordered to make peace with the outside world, and Wenxi City was destroyed, which completely cut off the way for the main force of the Xiliang Army to go south.

This achievement also allowed Qian Wu to be promoted from an ordinary Tiqi to a banner officer and lead a hundred households.

After many years, he has also removed the word "trial" and became an official hundred household of Yingwei. Going to Yizhou can be regarded as his initiative to invite Ying.

This time Zhao Zhi brought more than [-] soldiers. Most of these soldiers have been trained by Qian Wu and others.

Only fifty-seven people did not belong to the white pole soldiers. In fact, they did not belong to the sequence of the Yizhou Yellow Turban Army. They were all eagle wolf guards like Qian Wu.

That's why Zhao Zhi dared to lead these four hundred people all the way into Baidi City, and with the help of more than four hundred people, he wanted to seize the two city gates of Baidi City and Jiangguan.

It was not Zhao Yi who was actually making plans and deciding on the plan, but Qian Wu.

For activities such as infiltration, assault, sabotage, and camouflage, the eagle wolf guard is well-deserved number one in the world.

It was because of Qian Wu that Zhao Zhi dared to be so bold.

He trusted Qian Wu, and Ti Qi of the Eagle Wolf Guard.

In the two battles of Guanghan and Anhan, as well as the confrontation with Dongzhou soldiers, all the changes of the Yizhou Yellow Turban Army were seen by Zhao Zhi. Completely different, completely different.

Qian Wu paused for a moment, then continued in a low voice.

"In the arsenal, I checked it yesterday, and there are still a lot of weapons in it, enough for those Dongzhou soldiers to use."

"The Dongzhou soldiers will be under the jurisdiction of my Tiqi. They know how to manage them separately. When the turmoil in Baidi City subsides and we take full control of Baidi City, the general will send people to reorganize the Dongzhou soldiers. At that time we There is also time."

After Qian Wu reported, he took a step back and stood with the other five people.

Although the plan was drawn up by Qian Wu, everything was centered on the Eagle Wolf Guard and supplemented by the Yizhou Yellow Turban, but Qian Wu didn't intend to overwhelm the host in the slightest.

The Eagle Wolf Guard is independent from other departments, so the method of rewarding meritorious service is different from other departments, and there is no need to steal the limelight.

What's more, although Zhao Yi is not very familiar with matters such as infiltration and sabotage, Zhao Yi is willing to take risks all the way here, which has already made all the Tiqi of the Eagle Wolf Guard look at Zhao Yi with admiration.

Zhao Zhi could have lived in Jiangzhou in peace and commanded, and he was in a safe place.

Relying on Zhao Zhi's prestige in the Yizhou Yellow Turban Army and his contribution in the Yizhou Battle, no matter how much Zhao Zhi can get a fifth-rank titled general.

Qian Wu knew Zhao Zhi's thoughts very well, now the Taiping Dao soldiers are strong and strong, and there are countless elite soldiers and strong generals.

Zhao Zhi also asked him a lot about the internal affairs of Taiping Dao. After the Yellow Turban Army of the Four States entered Bingzhou, most of the Qu commanders were only made generals and captains.

No matter what the official position is, only those with outstanding ability and sufficient merits can continue to lead the army in battle, otherwise they can only get a idle position, or manage the soldiers in the field, manage the logistics, and live a safe life.

Fighting in battle is extremely dangerous.

Since ancient times, the capable will go up and the weak will perish. There is no problem with Xu An's method of selecting soldiers and generals, nor can he pick out any contradictions.

But Zhao Zhi didn't want to be just an idle general of the Yellow Turban Army, managing some farm soldiers.

There is life and death, and wealth is in the sky.

The reason why he was so adventurous was that Zhao Zhi wanted to prove that he was not a mediocre person. He wanted to show Xu An that the Yellow Turban Army in Yizhou was not empty.

Since everyone believed that Jiangguan and Baidi City could not be taken, he used Baidi City and Jiangguan as gifts and sent them to Xu An.

"At today's banquet, most people are already drunk, and their location has been investigated."

Zhao Zhi looked around at the generals and school in the house, his heart was very calm, and he said in a deep voice.

"This time the inner city mainly focuses on arresting people. Try not to kill people, but don't lose the opportunity because of this. If someone resists and wants to call for help, act decisively."

"The barracks in the outer city, to stop the chaos by killing, we must control the two barracks as quickly as possible!"

The door opened, and countless figures appeared in Zhao Zhi's eyes, and then quickly disappeared into the darkness.

The eagle wolf guards live in the shadows, in the dark, they are like ducks to water, in this world, no one can beat them in the dark.

……

In the inner city, the corridors and alleys are filled with the smell of wine and food.

Two soldiers of the Yizhou Army, carrying lanterns and waist knives, walked along the promenade and came to the corner.

"It's so late to inspect. That dog didn't get much benefit from us last time, so he thought of a way to punish us."

A soldier of the Yizhou Army who was slightly taller had an unhappy face and cursed in a low voice.

Another short soldier looked helpless.

"The moth thief is still gone, he..."

A cold wind suddenly blew, and the lanterns in the hands of the two Yizhou soldiers trembled, the lights flickered, and the sound of insects seemed to be louder.

The lantern stood still, and the flame no longer flickered.

In the corridor, calm was restored.

Two Yizhou soldiers carried lanterns and walked forward silently, as if nothing happened just now.

It's just that there is a faint smell of blood in the air.

But the breeze blew past, and the faint smell of blood dissipated in the air.

The lights were bright, and the two Yizhou soldiers stepped lightly on the ground without making too much noise.

With the breeze blowing, the lanterns they held in their hands also shook slightly.

Two Yizhou soldiers walked forward slowly carrying lanterns, and many closed doors along the road had been opened.

The rustling sound came from the darkness, as if some evil monster was hiding in the darkness.

But the two Yizhou soldiers did not stop, but continued to move forward.

All the way forward, passed the long corridor, and came to the innermost house at the back.

Two Yizhou soldiers carried lanterns and continued to walk forward. Their figures also attracted the attention of the two guards guarding the door.

"Stop comers!"

Seeing the two Yizhou soldiers getting closer and closer, the guards guarding the door stepped out and scolded in a deep voice.

"Night Watch..."

"Whizzing!"

Among the two loud insects piercing through the air, it seemed insignificant.

"you……"

An arrow sealed his throat, and the two guards knelt down on the ground weakly clutching their necks. One of them raised his hand with difficulty and pointed at the two Yizhou soldiers who were slowly coming to watch the night. His face was full of disbelief. don't know what happened...

The door was gently pushed open, and there was no one in the courtyard.

The army Sima who was born in the Ren clan was named Ren Ye, and he was also the city guard of Baidi City.

The guards in the courtyard had already been pushed back by him. During the banquet, Ren Ye was so drunk that he dragged the two dancers back to his courtyard.

The beautiful scenery on a good day naturally made the guards who usually guarded the courtyard retreat far away.

Qian Wu stepped into the courtyard, and behind him, a dozen soldiers in military uniforms, holding knives in their hands, followed Qian Wu and entered from the gate of the courtyard, and soon the entire house was completely destroyed. surrounded.

Their movements were very light, so light that no one in the house was disturbed.

The lights in the room were dim, and the sound of panting and a woman's voice could be faintly heard.

Qian Wu walked slowly to the front of the house, and gently knocked on the door.

"Captain..."

Qian Wu bowed slightly, imitating the accent of the guard who shouted before and said in a low voice.

"Jiangzhou City Guard and the county magistrates of the four cities said that they have important matters to discuss."

The panting sound in the house suddenly stopped, and curses came soon after.

"If you have anything to say, wait until tomorrow!"

"It seems that I received news about the moth thief, so I came to look for the captain."

The sound in the house disappeared for a short moment, and then came the sound of dressing and heavy breathing.

The door opened, and a rather tall man with a beard and an unhappy face appeared at the door.

"What a waste, a group of moth thieves scared them into..."

Ren Ye cursed and wanted to walk out of the room, but a big hand had already pinched his neck, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

"Hmm!!"

Ren Ye struggled desperately, he grabbed the hands that clamped his neck with both hands, and tried frantically to release the restraint.

But the hand that clamped his neck was like an iron clamp, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free.

Until Ren Ye felt that he was about to be unable to breathe, his eyes began to darken, and his mind became confused, the iron tongs did not clamp his neck again.

Ren Ye knelt down on the ground, breathing heavily, and his consciousness slowly recovered.

At this moment, one hand grabbed his hair and pulled it up suddenly, causing Ren Ye's scalp to hurt.

Ren Ye was about to curse, but at this moment, he found that there were two ring-shoulders with a cold light on his neck.

The lantern that was originally placed in the courtyard was picked up and the lights were brightly lit, allowing Ren Ye to see clearly his current situation.

In the house, two dancers who were only wearing coats had already fallen to the ground, and it was unknown whether they were knocked out or killed.

And around him, there were more than a dozen soldiers with weapons in their hands and yellow scarves on their heads.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the city.

Ren Ye's eyes were slightly dark, and he almost couldn't stand upright.

Everything is self-evident.
