First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 268 Barbarians enter the city
...

Through Du Biao's words, it is enough to show that this man looks tough, but in fact he is thick and thin. He is not a reckless man with well-developed limbs and a simple mind.

Ran Zhaoze also nodded slowly when he heard the words, took the water bottle and poured it down, and said in a muffled voice: "It's like this, don't be careless."

"Of course I know this, and it will be a hard time." Du Biao grinned and said, "Before the capture of Yun'an City, we must let the brothers relax."

Ran Zhaoze frowned, and said in a flat tone, "How do you want to relax?"

Du Biao was lying on the ground thinking about the happy days after the city was broken, and he smiled badly when he heard this, "there are many Han women in the city, so don't relax."

"No", Ran Zhao said seriously: "Remember, after entering the city, don't harass the people. If you violate it, you will not be forgiven."

Du Biao was startled, and sat up awkwardly, with an expression of disbelief on his face, "My lord, why is this? Why don't you let the brothers relax after breaking the city?"

"Alcohol and meat are enough, but don't disturb the people," Ran Zhao shook his head.

"How can it not be disturbed? It is also feasible to massacre the city." Du Biao was very puzzled: "Why is the king so benevolent?"

This is Du Biao, whom he has known for many years. If it were any other general, he would definitely not dare to talk to Ran Zhaoze like this.

Ran Zhao looked at the scattered barbarians resting, with a serious expression on his face, "This is something that must be done for the sake of the tribe's future. What do you think of Zhao Fu?" Ran Zhao raised his chin and signaled Du Biao to look over.

I saw Zhao Fu lying under the shade of a tree, one of the attendants on the left and right was fanning the wind and the other was handing water, it was very uncomfortable.

Du Biao glanced at it, then held back his mouth and said, "One piece of trash."

"In Xiao Liang, this kind of trash is an official worshiping young supervisor. From this we can see Xiao Mian's ability to use people. Since this year, many officials in Xiao Liang have fled. Therefore, in the battle between Li Tang and Xiao Liang, Xiao Liang is likely to lose. Once Xiao Liang is defeated, we have no choice but to surrender to Li Tang, and if we massacre the city, we will be liquidated by Li Tang in the future."

Ran Zhao said in a low voice.

"Then you are still attacking Kuizhou, my lord?" Du Biao understood the truth as soon as he said it, and asked immediately with raised eyebrows.

Facing the setting sun, Ran Zhao narrowed his eyes, "It's always right to strengthen yourself at any time."

Du Biao agreed with this very much, nodded and said: "As long as the king has soldiers and land, he will be a master wherever he goes."

"Gao Changshi, Yun'an City is fifty miles ahead, and you can enter the city tonight if you speed up," Hussar General Chen Qian said in a low voice by a river west of Yun'an City.

"No." Gao Chong shook his head. "You don't need to go into the city. I think this river bend is very good. We will set up camp here. We will send more scouts to the left and right and on the hillside behind. When we encounter idlers, we will first arrest and detain them to ensure concealment." .

Chen Qian was puzzled, but he still took the order to make arrangements. Until now, he still didn't understand what Gao Chong wanted to do, but Chen Qian was from an ordinary background, and he was one of the best in Kuizhou to be able to worship the fourth-rank hussar general As a general, obedience to military orders is his greatest strength.

Gao Chong climbed up the high slope of the river bend, looked at the mountains and forests hidden in the clouds and smoke in the distance, and whispered: "I hope everything goes well."

The east is bright white, and the fog outside Yun'an City is lingering. As the city gate is opened, many long-awaited woodcutters, fishermen, traffickers and pawns are scrambling to enter the city, causing chaos at the city gate.

The captain of Chengmen walked out of the city gate tower, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and yelled at this situation, "You son of a bitch is rushing to reincarnate, everyone lined up for me."

Seeing that the captain had spoken, the guards did not dare to doze off anymore, and hurriedly drove the people to line up. At this moment, a soldier saw figures in the mountains and forests in the distance, but the fog had not cleared. The soldier thought it might be dizziness I rubbed my eyes and stopped thinking about it.

"The shift will be changed soon, you guys, cheer up", the Chengmen captain kicked over, "I'm going to eat a bowl of soup and cakes first."

The soldier licked his lips and swallowed his saliva. He had been on duty all night and was about to change shifts. He must also eat a bowl of hot soup cakes later.

Not long after the captain of the city gate left, the dark shadows of the brigade rushed out of the fog in the mountains and went straight to the city gate.

"Then... what is that?" A soldier stared wide-eyed, looking at the black mass rushing towards him in the mist.

"Barbarians? The barbarians are here, close the city gate quickly." A team was looking at it in horror, and hurriedly ran into the city, beckoning to close the city gate.

Only then did the guards come to their senses and rushed into the city. The people who entered the city were even more panicked when they heard the news. The Han people in Yun'an did not know the name of the barbarians, and rushed to enter the city. The gate was blocked, making it difficult to close the city gate.

"Get out, get out", the team was in a hurry when they saw this, "Tian Shehan, you are looking for death, go away", immediately drew out the knife without hesitation and slashed randomly.

The barbarian was already not far behind, and the roar of the barbarian could be clearly heard. The panic-stricken people rushed up and knocked open the half-closed city gate.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the team ran away. The guards saw the barbarians attacking with axes, guns, knives and forks like menacing gods.

"Not one of the resisting Tang soldiers will be left behind." Du Biao rode on the horse, with a big knife in his hand, and beheaded a guard with a backhand. "The king has an order, don't kill innocent people randomly."

Du Biao did not forget Ran Zhaoze's order and shouted loudly.

Behind him, thousands of barbarians poured into the city and quickly occupied the city gate.

Ran Zhao rode his horse closer, looked at the people kneeling on the street begging for mercy, nodded and said, "This is the right time to rob the city."

It has to be said that Ran Zhaoze's timing to seize the city was a godsend.

As soon as the city gate opened, woodcutters, fishermen, peddlers and pawns waited for a long time, thinking of entering the city as soon as possible.

Second, the guards were on duty all night, and they were already exhausted. It was close to the shift change time, and their defenses were lax.

Such a surprise caught the Yun'an defenders by surprise, and easily breached Yun'an City.

"Quickly occupy all the city gates. Du Biao, you personally lead people to patrol the whole city. If you encounter Tang soldiers who resist, kill them without mercy. Remember, don't harass the people." Ran Zhao then ordered: "The rest of you, follow me County government".

In the back hall of Yun'an County Yamen, the county magistrate Hu Dayong stared with disbelief, "You, you said that barbarians have entered the city?"

"Yeah, maybe you've come to the county government at this time, Ming Mansion, let's run." The county captain Yun'an looked tall and powerful, but the horror on his face at this time was enough to show that this man's courage was not as good as his appearance. Mismatch.

Hu Dayong fell down on the couch with panic in his eyes, then he shook his head and said, "There are two thousand guards in the city, how could the barbarians enter the city so easily?"

"Oh my Hu Ming Mansion, what time is it and I'm still struggling with this, run away, I'll run away if you don't run away," the county captain shouted anxiously.

"No, yesterday the city gate reported that there have been a lot of barbarians in the city for no reason these days, and these barbarians must be the internal response..." Hu Dayong gritted his teeth, and angrily reprimanded: "If you are not of my race, your heart must be different. ".
