Step on a branch

Chapter 398
In the big tent, the young man was a little apprehensive.

Before that, he had no dealings with the Marquis of Yongning. He only heard that the old Marquis was upright and bold. So, did the old Marquis believe his laughter or not?
Obviously, the previous sentence of Old Hou Ye was "in case of being ambushed".

If they can't figure it out, young people won't focus on thinking about it.

"Old man, I have one more item, which I will pass on to you."

As he spoke, the young man stretched out his hand into his arms.

Lin Fan stared at him.

Defenses can not do without.

If this person took out something fatal, Lin Fan would immediately step forward and subdue him.

What the young man took out from his chest was a flat object wrapped in cotton cloth.

He held it in one hand, untied the tether with the other, and unfolded it.

Inside is a stack of papers.

In other words, a piece of paper was folded and neatly folded.

The messenger took it, opened the paper, and then presented it to Marquis Yongning for his review.

Old Hou Ye took a closer look: "The map of the city defense?"

The young man said: "Yes, the latest arrangement."

"That Uncle Zhongqin is quite sincere." Marquis Yongning muttered.

The young man hurriedly said: "The old uncle hopes to be more stable and not cause more disturbances. Your Highness, old Hou Ye, please rest assured, it is definitely not some trick."

Yongning Hou laughed.

After seeing off the young man who delivered the news, he put away his smile and looked at the map solemnly.

Lin Fan stood beside Yongninghou and watched carefully.

The defense of the capital is simple to say, but complicated to say that there are many doorways in it, and it has never been done by any yamen alone.

The garrison, the Beijing Guard Command and Envoy Division, the Central Military Governor's Mansion, the Beijing Guard Army, and the Royal Forest Army all cooperate with each other. Of course, there are inevitably contradictions.

Lin Fan and Marquis Yongning have been away from Beijing for more than half a year, and the previous experience and understanding are obviously outdated at this moment.

Bo Zhongqin took over the power and made arrangements everywhere.

The final result fell on this city defense map.

The officials in charge of each city gate, the number of troops under their command, the patrol forces on several main streets, and where the horse-repelling posts were set up are all clear at a glance.

The most wonderful thing is that the arrangement on the gates of the imperial city is also marked.

Even, different symbols were played.

Lin Fan looked at the dots, horizontals, circles, and crosses, confused, and asked Marquis Yongning, "What does this mean?"

"Uncle Zhongqin's previous habits can't be understood by those who haven't fought with him," Yongninghou said with a smile, "That old thing is true, he is not afraid that the old man is getting old, his memory is poor, and he remembers everything wrong Yet?"

Complaints are complaints, the Marquis of Yongning looked at these "old calendars" very kindly.

He explained to Lin Fan one by one: "The North Palace Gate is not under control, which means he can't control it here; at the corner gate next to it, his own people will cooperate with him..."

Lin Fan couldn't help laughing as he listened.

According to this city defense map, it is not difficult to enter the city.

only……

Lin Fan asked, "Could it be a trap?"

"Probably not, Uncle Zhongqin is not so confused." Yongning Hou said.

Desperately defending the city, or letting the emperor's grandson enter the city, which way is better for the Weng family, Uncle Zhongqin will not fail to understand.

Uncle Zhongqin does not rely on enthusiasm, and rarely "gambles". He likes to add icing on the cake.

It was the same back then.

He guarded the one-acre three-point land, watching the world's powerful and powerful fight to the death, and he didn't join in until the former emperor's majesty was unstoppable.

Compared with a guy like Qin Yin who took the whole family to risk their lives at the very beginning, Uncle Zhongqin is obviously very stable.

The icing on the cake is naturally incomparable to sending charcoal in the snow.

In order to stand out, Tim's flowers must be grand, bright and brilliant.

Uncle Zhongqin did it back then, and he is supposed to do the same now.

"We still have to guard against it," Yongninghou said again, "What if his old eyes are dim and his eyesight is not good?"

Lin Fan laughed.

There are still more than two days before the agreed time, and the scouts are either approaching quietly, or climbing high and watching from a distance, observing the situation of the capital.

Marquis Yongning compared the collected information with those marked on the city defense map, and they all matched.

At the same time, with the return of the soldiers who had been transferred to several granaries, the old Hou Ye redistributed his troops and stationed in all directions of the capital, forming a situation of encirclement.

The old man was not idle either, taking advantage of the sunny day, he rode a horse outside the south city gate and called for battle in person.

Uncle Zhongqin climbed onto the tower.

The Marquis of Yongning didn't have many soldiers in his formation, but they were full of momentum.

Two big drums, eight horn players, accompanied by the fluttering "Qin" flag, and he himself was in front of the formation, driving his horse and pacing.

An experienced veteran can naturally control the distance and will not enter the range of the crossbowman.

From time to time, he raised his hand and waved it, and then, there was a deafening sound of drums and horns behind him, so loud that Uncle Zhongqin wanted to cover his ears.

When going down from the tower, Uncle Zhongqin pouted for a while.

It's a full set of opera and opera, right?

It's not comfortable if you don't play prestige, right?
I was sitting at Feimenguan before, but I didn't go to Mingshaguan or Xizhou City to join in the fun, so I was overwhelmed, right?
The addiction is really big!

The slander belongs to the slander, think about it, Uncle Zhongqin is still more envious.

Qin Yin's body is really good. He was seriously injured before, and after recovering, he is still alive and well.

When Qin Yin reaches his age, he will not be worse than now.

Unlike him, more than [-] years ago, he was an old bone that fell apart, empty-hearted and unable to exert energy.

As the capital was besieged, the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

Uncle Zhongqin "pacified" the emperor and returned to Jingzhao Yamen.

As soon as he entered, he saw Liu Xianan jumping.

"What's going on?" he asked.

Liu Xian'an came up and said with shame: "There are gangsters making trouble in the north of the city, and they hurt several people."

This is not much of a surprise.

Once the city is besieged, people's hearts will inevitably fluctuate, and once fluctuated, there will be conflicts of all sizes, and the public security in Beijing will also be affected.

This is the reason why Liu Xian'an wanted to pay attention to law and order.

However, he did not expect that within two days of the siege, some people could not bear it anymore.

"Ten days and a half months, but it can be stabilized. It really lasts for two or three months." Liu Xian'an was extremely distressed, "Old man, troubles will happen first in the other city."

Uncle Zhongqin stroked his beard.

Knowing this, he decided to do it for three days.

Otherwise, just sing an opera for ten days and a half months, and when the capital is overwhelmed by the pressure of the advance, open the city gate.

"Catch the troublemakers," he said to Liu Xian'an, "kill the chickens to make an example to the monkeys."

Night falls.

Marquis Yongning, who called the battle, returned to the main tent, had dinner in a hurry, and called everyone into the tent again.

"Tomorrow at the second quarter of Maochu, raid from the west and south sides," he pointed to the map, and said to Qin Zhi, "Just like the arrangement during the day, if the west gate opens, you quickly lead people to control the gate to ensure smooth advance and retreat. , At the same time, get through from the inside and open other city gates."

Qin Zhi surrendered and took the order.

"Remember, once you enter the city, the first priority is to hold the city defense in your hands." Yongning Hou said.

Only when they control the city gates and walls, can they march towards the imperial city without any worries.
