Chapter 179 Stealing the City
For Li Chongjiu, although Feihu County changed hands, the foundation is still there. The county soldiers in the county were trained by him alone. My confidant, but the team deputy and brigade deputy cannot replace all of them, and there are still many Zhao's children among the county soldiers who are serving, and they are the best internal support.

Right now a man with a height of seven feet is standing in front of Li Chongjiu. This man is in his 30s, with dark skin and a burly figure.Right now, the five hundred soldiers from the Zhao family are all led by him.

I only heard Zhao Quanting say: "This county captain of Feihu County was originally Qiu Butou in the city, but he is the oldest of the three. After the head became a county lieutenant, his subordinates also ascended to the sky together. They became brigade leaders and team leaders, replacing all the former Hou Ye's cronies. But these people have been in the fish and meat village all day long, and they have nothing to restrain themselves even if they become soldiers. , Withholding the military salary, the brothers below have long thought of changing, and now they hear that Junhou has returned to Feihu County, and they have long wanted to deal with these dog officials."

After hearing this, Li Chongjiu asked cautiously: "Is there any fraud, but to trick us into entering the city?"

Zhao Quanting thought for a while and said: "The leader is my cousin, who is also Uncle Zhao's nephew. I don't think there is any fraud. But Junhou is right, we should be careful, who knows After a long time, will they want to change, let me take our Zhao family tonight, and play a forward role to find the way for Junhou."

After hearing this, Li Chongjiu patted Zhao Quanting on the shoulder, and said: "Okay. Let the brothers have a good meal with wine and meat. The third watch tonight is the time to break the city."

"No, Your Majesty." Zhao Quanting strode away after cupping his fists.

It was dark that day, and on the rammed-earth city wall of Feihu County, city soldiers held pine lights and patrolled back and forth to prevent rogues from stealing the city.At the city gate of Dongcheng, the city gate official and school lieutenant Liu Dayan was originally Qiu Butou's confidant yamen servant, and he can be regarded as a prominent figure in a place as big as a palm in Feihu County.The yamen servants in this county are handed down from generation to generation, and his father was also a yamen servant. Because his eyes grew bigger on one side and smaller on the other after he was born, he was called Big Eye Liu.Originally, it was difficult for him to get married according to his appearance, but whoever called him a yamen servant, he is quite powerful in the county, and now he has three wives and concubines.

The military situation is urgent. Recently, he has abandoned the beautiful girl who was just accepted at home, and slept directly on the tower.But according to the usual practice, he had to check around before falling asleep.Although Liu Dayan is usually greedy, he is not stupid, and he is cautious in his actions. He knows that the bandits are oppressing the country. Although he has a city wall to support him, Li Chongjiu is such a murderer that even Shibi Khan has no one to please him.Liu Dayan has several heads, if he is negligent, the heads will be moved.

Cautiously, he took a few helpers who were used to him in the past, and a group of soldiers, and rushed down the zigzag path of the tower, preparing to inspect one side.At this time, Liu Dayan suddenly sharpened his eyes and said, "Stop, is that Zhao Quaner?"

A row of gatehouses are built on both sides of the city gate under the city tower, which is called "cooked".There are usually officials and soldiers guarding the city gate sitting inside. In the past, they were used to monitor the people entering and leaving the city gate.Now in front of the school, after listening to Liu Dayan's words, one person turned around and said in a trembling voice, "Back to Captain Liu, it's Quan Er."

Holding a whip in his hand, Liu Dayan came down to Zhao Quaner and shouted, "Why are you trembling when you speak? You are not on duty tonight, why are you here?"

Zhao Quaner said tremblingly, "Returning to Lieutenant Liu, Team Zhou fell ill tonight, and you asked me to be the team deputy to exchange value. Have you forgotten this?"

After hearing this, Liu Dayan suddenly realized, he slapped his head and said: "Look at my memory, how can I forget this shit, no matter how I speak, I can't speak clearly, is there a ghost in my heart?"

After hearing this, Zhao Quaner quickly said: "Isn't this afraid of your official authority, Captain?"

Liu Dayan nodded after hearing this, very satisfied with the flattery, and said: "Be careful on duty, if something goes wrong, your whole family will be killed, if the thief retreats safely, tell the brothers, everyone will reward you three times." Ten coins, a bucket of rice."

Thirty bucks, bah, I tied my head on the waistband of my trousers and worked hard for them. It was only thirty bucks, a bucket of rice, these dog officials.Although Zhao Quaner thought so in his heart, he still said on his face: "Xie Xiaowei."

As soon as Liu Dayan finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that this person named Zhao Mofei was related to the people in Zhaojiabao. A confidant stayed behind and asked him to monitor the city gate together.And after patrolling the city gate, he returned to the tower and went to sleep.

When Zhao Quaner saw that the other party left a person to watch, he thought it was a bad thing, but this person had no patience, and yawned several times, looking very sleepy.Zhao Quaner was overjoyed at the moment, so he picked up the half-skinned privately brewed wine and approached him to make love, and after a few words, they seduced him into the concierge for a drink.

Seeing that everyone had dispersed, several of Zhao Quaner's confidantes hurriedly replaced the guards in the culvert next to the city gate.Under the culvert is the place where the water comes out of the ditch, and the whole county washes, eats, defecates and urinates.They all follow this ditch in the city.Where the ditch left the city, a masonry inner wall was built on it, and in the culvert below, a row of iron fences as thick as a forearm was erected to prevent people from using this tunnel to enter and exit the city.

At present, more than a dozen big men swam in the culvert under the city. In this place full of stinky water, they quietly sawed the iron fence. After a while, they finally broke a small hole that can accommodate one person to go in and out.Now these people bit their knives, swam out of the culvert one by one, and hid under the city wall to rest.After more than 30 people stayed, there were three sounds of Diao Dou in the city, and it was already the third watch.

Do it!

The insiders of the city fought together with the dead who entered the city at night outside the city, and rushed towards the city gate from all directions, and Zhao Quaner was having a good time drinking with Zhao Dayan's confidant, but at this moment, he could hear the rustling outside. footsteps.Although this confidant was a little drunk, but when he woke up, he grabbed the handle of the knife and said: "What's going on?"

Zhao Quan said in two words: "I don't know either."

The person immediately went to grab the doorknob to open the door, but at this moment Zhao Quaner took out a dagger, stabbed it into the back of the opponent, and stirred it vigorously.After paying this person, Zhao Quaner went out to say hello, and asked all the people who came to seize the gate of the city to do it together, and immediately there was a fight in the gate.And the insiders also broke out at the same time, stabbing their knives at the people around them, and the county soldiers guarding the city cave were attacked by the enemy, and they didn't resist a few times, and their corpses lay on the ground.Just as the horn of the enemy's attack in the city sounded, the city gate of Feihu County was opened. Zhao Quanting, who had been ambushing in the dark for a long time outside the city, shouted loudly and led the Zhao family's soldiers to the city. The door came to grab the city gate.

Captain Xu Dayan was also awakened by the sound of the horn, and rushed out of the city tower with a dozen of his subordinates in a hurry, but at this moment, he saw the sound of killing everywhere in the city, and in the darkness, it seemed that there were thousands of troops coming to seize it. The city is average.Xu Dayan had never seen such a scene before, his legs immediately went limp and he had no intention of fighting, he immediately threw the weapon and said: "We are willing to surrender, we are willing to surrender."

In the big camp, Li Chongjiu saw the situation at the city gates, and knew that the city gates had been taken, so he ordered a hundred cavalry to guard the other three city gates, in case Zhou County was getting away, and He himself led the army into the city.

All the way into the city, there was almost no resistance.

On both sides of the city gate, soldiers were kneeling all over the ground. Li Chongjiu immediately asked Su Su to lead dozens of people as supervisors to kill those Xiaoxiao who took advantage of the chaos and the rebellious army who looted civilian households.However, he and Li Hu led the army straight into the county government. When they arrived at the county government gate, Zhao Quaner had already led people to break through the gate of the county government office. Go and catch Zhou Xianzheng.

Not long after, Gao Chu and Zhao Wansan were both rescued, and the former craftsman, Jin Cao, was also rescued.Gao Chu looked at Li Chongjiu with a sense of shame, and said: "It's the last general's fault. He lost Lord Hou's city and asked Lord Hou to punish him."

Li Chongjiu waved his hand and said: "Don't mention the Marquis, I have been dismissed right now, and I am a criminal of the imperial court. Where do you all go..."

Before Li Chongjiu finished speaking, these people bowed down together and said: "My wealth and honor are all tied to the Hou Ye, and I am willing to do the work of dogs and horses for the Hou Ye."

Li Chongjiu laughed out loud when he heard this, and said: "Alright, you should be as rich as all your brothers!"

At this time, Zhou Xianzheng was also arrested by Zhao Quanting, and Zhou Xianzheng was seen wearing a woman's attire, obviously trying to escape from the city.Seeing Zhou Xianzheng's appearance, everyone present burst out laughing.

Zhou Xianzheng said angrily: "If you die, you will die. Don't insult me."

Li Chongjiu glanced at him and said, "Zhou Xicao, do you know today?"

Zhou Xianzheng sneered and said: "I am the county magistrate registered by the imperial court, not Xi Cao, you are a false official and a false lord, and several of you are also helping the evildoers. When the imperial court's heavenly soldiers arrive in the future, I will be the one I am today." Your tomorrow, accompany me to die together, I will wait for you on Huangquan Road."

"Want to die? It's not that easy?" Zhao Quanting said, "A traitorous official like you framed Lord Hou and turned black and white. We will cut you into pieces. Anyway, every day you live, you will suffer every day." suffering."

Hearing that the toughness of Zhou County Zheng just now collapsed, he knelt down in front of Li Chongjiu and said, "Junhou, was it me in the past, please give me another chance..."

"Procrastinate and imprison." Li Chongjiu said impatiently.Seeing Li Chongjiu's appearance, Zhou County said loudly in horror: "Jun Hou, don't, Jun Hou, I can still do my best for you, Jun Hou, please..."

After Zhou Xianzheng was dragged down horizontally, he was still screaming hard, but for his words, it was no longer important at this time.
