Chapter 477 Midnight
In the afternoon of the same day, Hu Yanlei led thirty men to put on the armor of the puppet Qi army and join Sun Jian's army. Sun Jian organized them into an independent department and put them under direct control.

The key to the success of tomorrow night's mission lies in Ren Li.

Ren Li was Ren Dejing's second-nephew and Sun Jian's immediate boss. Sun Jian was most worried about drawing lots in the morning. If Ren Li couldn't draw lots at night, things would be troublesome.

But things are like this, what is often feared, what does it come?
Early the next morning, Sun Jian returned to the barracks with a solemn expression, found Hu Yanlei and said, "It's a little troublesome, Ren Li was drawn to be on duty during the day, and I have no chance to defend the city tonight."

Hu Yanlei had weathered the storm for a long time, he didn't panic, and asked in a deep voice: "Then who is guarding the city tonight?"

"One is Ren Quan, who is also Ren Dejing's nephew, and the other is Xue Xiaoping, who is Ren Dejing's eldest son-in-law."

"If something happens to one of these two, who will take over?"

"Then it can only be Ren Li. The other two were already on duty last night. It should have been Ren Li tonight, but he has his bye."

"What hobbies do Ren Quan and Xue Xiaoping have?" Hu Yanlei asked again.

Sun Jian understood what Hu Yanlei meant, and dealt with one of these two people so that they could not be on duty tonight.

He thought for a while and said: "If you want to attack, you should attack Ren Quanquan. This man is full of licentiousness, and he likes to visit brothels. You can attack him. Moreover, he has killed many women from good families and has many enemies. normal."

"Then which brothel will he haunt?"

Sun Jian sneered, "I won't go anywhere except Baifenglou!"

Baifenglou is located in the middle of Huangzhou City, one of the three brothels in Huangzhou, and it is the property of Ren Dejing's second brother, Ren Dezhong. Ren Dezhong is Ren Quan's father. , and at no cost.

Ren Quan is also very young, only in his early twenties, and has not yet married, so he is naturally more indulgent. He sneaked into the brothel early in the morning and hung out in it.

At noon, Ren Quan was drunk in the dining hall of the brothel, and was supported by two beautiful prostitutes back to his room to rest. Tonight he will be on duty at night, and he must have a good sleep in the afternoon.

But after sleeping for less than half an hour, Ren Quan's screams suddenly came from the room, followed by the panicked screams of several prostitutes, so frightened the old bustard rushed into the room with a dozen brothel guards.

The room was full of blood, Ren Quan's lower body was completely cut off, the blood gushed out like a fountain, and the blood couldn't be stopped at all, the madam was terrified, and hurriedly sent someone to the doctor for treatment, but it was useless when the doctor came, Ren Quan had already lost blood Die from too much.

The news immediately caused a sensation in the whole city. Ren Quan, who had committed many crimes and murdered countless women from a good family, was cut off and died. This news is really satisfying.

Ren Dejing was furious, and arrested a group of prostitutes for careful interrogation, but he had no clue. No one knew what the murderer looked like or how he got into the brothel. Of course, brothels don't need to mess around. Check it out.

Ren Dejing was so angry that he ordered the procuress of the brothel to be beaten with a hundred sticks, and he was beaten to death on the spot.

After Ren Quan died, Ren Dejing had to readjust the deployment of the army. Ren Quan's [-] troops were handed over to his father, Ren Dezhong.

Ren Li and Xue Xiaoping were on duty tonight. Ren Li was in charge of the west and north cities, and Xue Xiaoping was in charge of the east and south cities. Each section of the city wall had [-] troops stationed there.

Ren Li personally led a thousand troops in charge of the west city wall and gate, while Sun Jian was in charge of the north city.

As night fell, Chen Qing personally led [-] troops to arrive as scheduled. When Chen Qing's army was discovered by enemy spies, they were already two hundred miles away from Huangzhou City. Genius siege, in fact, in the past four days, Chen Qing's army could have covered a distance of two hundred miles.

The [-] troops were stationed in a forest twenty miles northeast of Huangzhou City. This forest was almost close to Huangshui. The Hehuang Valley refers to the triangle between the Yellow River and Huangshui, with an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters. It is one of the three major agricultural areas in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, the other two are the Hetao Plain and the Yinchuan Plain, and Huangzhou City is the center of the Hehuang Valley.

Xixia and Chen Qing competed for Xihe Road, to a large extent, to compete for the Hehuang Valley and Taohe Valley, but Chen Qing had a deeper intention. He wanted to control some pastoral areas, which would help ensure the source of his war horses and troops. meat supply.

We must know that nomads have strong combat effectiveness. Apart from the factor of war horses, another important reason is that they have sufficient meat supply and strong physique.

The soldiers were resting in the woods. Around Haishi, Gao Ding hurried over with one of Hu Yanlei's men.

Since Sun Jian controlled Beicheng, it would be easy for Huyanlei to send someone down to report.

Chen Qing immediately received the soldier.

"Don't worry, take your time, which city gate is General Huyan going to meet?"

"Reporting to Dutong, the city gate has no chance, but we have controlled the northern city wall."

The messenger told the story of Sun Jian in detail, and Chen Qing was really pleased that Huyanlei had become more and more mature, and he no longer relied on his own strength to break through the city, but persuaded the local rich and powerful families to help. plot!
"Tell me about the situation of the northern city wall, how wide is the moat?"

"The humble official first talked about the moat. The moat is relatively deep. Water from the Huang River was diverted from the north to form the moat and the Cao River, but this did not affect the siege of the city. The moat is two feet wide, and planks need to be prepared in advance.

The city wall is about three feet high, but we lowered two ladders from above, located a little east of the middle, and most of the soldiers slept under the city wall.

There are only two patrol teams at the head of the city. General Hu Yan led thirty brothers to be in charge of patrolling the eastern half, and Sun Jian personally led another team to patrol the western half. Both of them can send people to the city during the second watch. Tonight The password is 'Qin Wang Jiangshan'. "

Chen Qing said with a smile: "Why is the password the king of Qin Jiangshan? Does Ren Dejing want to be the king of Qin?"

"I don't know the humble job!"

Chen Qing nodded, "It doesn't need to be too early, just midnight."

"The humble official obeys, what other orders do you have?"

"There is nothing else, let General Huyan tell Sun Jian that he has made great contributions, and I will continue to let him be the commander of the Song Army."

"Follow the order!"

The messenger left quickly, and Chen Qing ordered someone to find Yang Zaixing and Gao Ding.

"The two of you each led [-] troops from the north wall to the city. General Gao was responsible for capturing the east gate. General Yang led [-] troops to attack the general manager's mansion. Bring whirlwind cannons and gunpowder barrels. Be sure to kill Ren De before the whole city becomes chaotic. My dear, I don't want street fighting to break out in the city."

The two saluted at the same time, "I obey the order!"

"Now you go to prepare some two-foot-five-foot-long wooden boards to cross the moat. It will be midnight at midnight. It will be located in the east of the north city wall. There will be two soft ladders hanging on the top of the city. Huyanlei is on top. You can directly Uptown!"

The two agreed abruptly, and each led their troops to take action.
Midnight at midnight is twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, when the whole city is asleep, but Ren Dejing sleeps very restlessly, fearing that the soldiers will slack off at night, he sent his own soldiers to supervise Ren Li and Xue Xiaoping, asking them to strengthen Supervision of soldiers.

Ren Li was also very sleepy, but his uncle sent someone to supervise him, and he had to force himself to go to the west city and the north city to inspect.

When he reached the foot of the northern city, he unexpectedly found that the soldiers were sleeping soundly wrapped in blankets at the base of the city wall. He was furious, grabbed one of them and asked, "Who told you to sleep under the city?"

Dutou tremblingly said: "It was arranged by Dutou, the city is too cold, let us sleep under the city, if there is anything unusual, he will notify us immediately."

Although the words are good, but this kind of decision-making should be given by himself, and Sun Jian made the arrangements without asking for instructions.

The Ren family attaches great importance to power and will not trust anyone outside the family. The same is true for Ren Li. All matters, big and small, are decided by him. Sun Jian has no power arrangements. Now Sun Jian actually sent soldiers to the city without authorization Rest, this undoubtedly offended Ren Li's rebellion, Ren Li was furious, and rushed to the city with a dozen of his own soldiers.
