Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 275

At this time, an old maid named Liang Luanzhen came to recommend Liu Yu, saying that his adopted son Guo Chongyue had practiced martial arts since childhood, was familiar with military books, was well versed in the art of war, and was rich in strategies, so he was good enough for this great job.

This old maid is not an ordinary court lady, she is Liu Wei's nanny, and one of the most trusted people of Liu Wei. Liu Ying has always regarded her as a relative.

Liu Yu himself was a useless trash, Dang even listened to Yue Zhang and nanny's advice, and left Yue Fengguang behind.And immediately decreed that Guo Chongyue was appointed as a recruiter, and Zhi Tingxiao was appointed as his deputy, to command all the horses in the capital, set up camp in the north of the capital, and take on the important task of defending the capital.

Guo Chongyue was ordered to take office, took over all the troops in the city, met with the Han generals under his command one by one, and inspected the army and the city defense pretendingly.After that, he briefly took care of the affairs of his jurisdiction, and returned to his courtyard in Panyu City when it was dark. After several servants waited on him to change his clothes, Guo Chongyue waved them away, and then called another servant-like person, The servant looked mediocre, with a cautious look.

Guo Chongyue let the servant into the room with a cold face. The servant nodded and walked in, and closed the door smoothly. After the wooden door was closed with a bang, Guo Chongyue immediately changed his face and put on a smiling face, and said respectfully: "Master Hu, according to your instructions, little The villain's adoptive mother and the stupid emperor have given the villain the position of recruiter, and now the remaining [-] troops in Panyu City are under the villain's control. The villain also went to see the Han army just now, and everyone was listless. I am so afraid of you Song Jun that I dare not fight with you Song Jun."

The servant also changed his mediocre appearance at this time, his eyes sparkled, who else could it be if it wasn't Hu Sanguang after his disguise.After listening to it, he asked Guo Chongyue: "That's right, you've done a good job, Lord Hou will never let you do these things in vain. Hmm... I asked you to inquire about the Black Cavalry Legion, have you asked?"

Guo Chongyue said: "This...Master Hu, the villain asked his adoptive mother and secretly asked the stupid emperor. They didn't know about the Black Cavalry Legion. However, the villain had already found out where Chen Jingyuan was that day. The Jade Emperor Hall in the palace seems to have never come out. In addition, the villain also noticed that the monsters of Tianyi have started to send all the gold, silver and jewelry in the palace treasury to a manor in the south of the city. The villain It is suspected that there is a secret passage in that place leading to somewhere outside the city, and these gold, silver and jewels are probably being sent outside the city."

Hu Sanguang lowered his head in thought, then raised his head after a while and said: "You should do what I told you in the past few days. After two days of delay, you will cooperate with the officials to open the city gate and let the army of Lord Marquis come in. Then you take your men and horses back to the imperial city and defend the imperial city desperately. At that time, the official will give you a signal and follow the plan step by step. Hmm... You are so hardworking, Lord Hou will definitely give you more benefit."

"The villain dare not think of benefits. It is the villain's long-cherished wish to lead the army to kill the two monsters, Gong Chengshu and Chen Jingyuan, to destroy Tianyi, and to avenge the villain's family." Guo Chongyue said quite emotionally. .

Hu Sanguang naturally didn't believe it, but he also encouraged him a few words, and finally reminded: "Although the little emperor is stupid, but the strength of Tianyi is still there, and there are still some masters and capable people, so you should be careful when doing things, don't wait Before Lord Hou avenges you, he will die."

This Guo Chongyue was originally the illegitimate son of Guo Wentao, the former prime minister of the Southern Han Dynasty. Guo Wentao was led by Gong Chengshu to wipe out the nine clans because of his participation in the former Southern Han emperor's contact with the local generals to deal with Tianyi. He has prepared a considerable property, and he is quite good at running a business, so his life is not bad.

The intelligence officers of the Huaxia Weifu found out his details and contacted him, and eventually developed into a peripheral member of the Huaxia Weifu Intelligence Department. Seven days ago, Xu Fangyi and Hu Sanguang came from Guizhou to Panyu, the capital of the Southern Han Dynasty, and personally formulated this plan for him. detailed plan.

So Guo Chongyue whipped up his tongue like a reed, and blew himself up in front of his adoptive mother Liang Luanzhen.The dizzy Liu Wei actually believed it, and handed over the life-and-death responsibility of being in charge of the army to a peripheral intelligence officer of the Huaxia Weifu.

After Guo Chongyue took over the remaining [-] troops in Panyu City in the Southern Han Dynasty, he had no other defensive measures except preparing some logs and kerosene. Hu Sanguang and Xu Fangyi instructed to burn incense and pray to gods, worship the Jade Emperor, and worship Chen Jingyuan, a celestial master. He not only did this himself, but also made his generals and soldiers do the same.

In the entire Southern Han barracks, cigarettes were lingering everywhere, paper ashes and butterflies danced, and the sound of devout prayers to ghosts and gods spread throughout the camp and small village, creating a great spectacle in the history of ancient and modern warfare.

Guo Chongyue, the general of the Southern Han Dynasty, was one of his own people. Xu Fangyi and Hu Sanguang easily sent the plan they discussed and the information about Chen Jingyuan's location and Tianyi's delivery of gold and silver treasures out of the city through secret passages to Ye Chen outside the city. hands.

Ye Chen was overjoyed, thought for a while, and then thought of the news that he had just found out recently, the real lair of Tianyi——Tianyi Holy Island.

Tianyi Holy Island is the earliest birthplace of Tianyi led by Chen Jingyuan, and it is also the holy place of Tianyi.

Ye Chen guessed that under the current circumstances, Tianyi should transfer all the wealth in the Nanhan treasury to Tianyi Holy Island.

With this inference, Ye Chen called Du Qianqiu, told him about Tianyi's delivery of gold and silver treasures, and then asked him to lead ten Huaxia Guard teams, a total of 120 Huaxia Guards, to the seaside port to find out the sea. row of big boats.

Du Qianqiu is good at disguise, he is ruthless, nicknamed the wolf with thousands of faces.Now he is the Deputy Envoy of the Reconnaissance Department of the Intelligence Division, and he is a seventh-rank official. Like Hu Sanguang, he is one of the more than ten masters who first expressed their complete loyalty to Ye Chen.In addition, the captains of the ten Huaxia Guard teams are all ten of the more than 100 first-class masters in Jianghu who were subdued by Ye Chen with the "half-dead maze".The squads they lead are also the elites of the Huaxia Guards Action Team, each of which has a Huaxia Golden Guard, and the other members are Huaxia Silver Guards.

Now, with the large army gathered outside Panyu City, the number of people transporting gold, silver and jewelry from Tianyi Road must not be too many. In Ye Chen's opinion, it should be no problem for such 120 Huaxia Guards to snatch things from Tianyi Road.

In addition, after Ye Chen asked these Huaxia Guards to grab the things, they directly took Tianyi's boat to the north by sea, entered the inland from the mouth of the Yangtze River, and then handed over these things to the successors of the Department of Internal Affairs of Huaxia Guards.

Ye Chen went south this time and brought 120 personal guards, which consisted of [-] Huaxia Guard squads and [-] intelligence officers from the Intelligence Department.These [-] people are only a small part of them.

After dispatching Du Qianqiu, Ye Chen contemplated and planned all night, combined with Xu Fangyi and Hu Sanguang's plan in Panyu City, and made some changes to the overall plan.

Early in the morning, Ye Chen told his overall plan to Luo Yaoshun, Wang Chao, Cao Wei, Zhan Xiongwu, and Yang Yanping, the five generals. The six were in the tent of the Chinese army to further refine it, and a personal guard came in to report It is said that Wu Yanrou from Yizhou in the west sent a messenger and asked to meet the coach.

Ye Chen met him in the central army tent in front of five generals, and passed the secret letter written to him by Wu Yanrou.

Wu Yanrou heard that the Southern Han Dynasty was captured by the Song army except for the southernmost cities near Nanyue and Dali, and the Song army had already encircled the capital.So I decisively sent people to ask for surrender, expressing my willingness to donate 1 troops and the most southwestern Yizhou, Zizhou, and Qingzhou to surrender to the Song Dynasty, and revealed to Ye Chen the information about the Black Cavalry Corps of the Tiandao Protectorate Corps. Presence and some military intelligence.Finally, I hope Ye Chen can save his family from Gong Chengshu.

Naturally, Ye Chen would not refuse this kind of thing. Overjoyed, Dang even agreed, and then wrote a short secret letter with his own hand, and asked the messenger to bring it to Wu Yanrou.

Pan Mei and Zhao Zan respectively led the army and attacked the city from the north and east of Panyu City regardless of casualties. After one day, Panyu City was already in jeopardy. Looking at the attack for half a day tomorrow, the defending Han army in Panyu City would collapse. Song Jun should be able to attack the city.

On this day, the West Road army led by Ye Chen was stationed in the west, but they only smashed the city with catapults, but did not attack the city.

So far, although there are still some fringe prefectures near the sea and the west that have not been captured in this expedition to the Southern Han Dynasty, as long as the capital of the Southern Han Dynasty is occupied, these prefectures and counties will surely surrender. By then, the entire territory of the Southern Han Dynasty will be Become a part of the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, it is now the final period of the Southern Expedition. Pan Mei and Zhao Zan are trying their best to be the first to attack Panyu City, enter the imperial city, and establish the first and main contribution of this Southern Expedition. position.In fact, Ye Chen thought the same way, but he considered more issues than Zhao Zan and Pan Mei. His main purpose was to kill Tianyi and Chen Jingyuan.

The second day, that is, June 15th, was also the No. [-] day when Ye Chen was given the Kongxin Pill.After eating breakfast early in the morning, the three armies of the Song Dynasty all lined up and prepared to attack the city.To be precise, Zhao Zan and Pan Mei commanded the army to attack the city, while Ye Chen led the army to attack the city.

Because, just as the drums and horns of the Song Dynasty sounded in the north and east, the west gate of Panyu City opened from the inside like that.Ye Chen led the army, with the cavalry in front and the infantry behind, and rushed in like this.

Pan Mei and Zhao Zan commanded the army to attack the city. Suddenly they saw the Han army descending from the top of the city in a panic, the Han flag disappeared, and soon Ye Chen's banner appeared on the top of the city. The east and north gates in front of Zan Dajun were also opened from the inside, and it was opened by Ye Chen's troops.

Pan Mei's face was a little gloomy, and she was extremely unwilling, but when she thought about the imperial city, she cheered up and commanded the troops to enter the city, preparing to capture the imperial city in the hands of Ye Chen and capture the Southern Han emperor alive.

Zhao Zan and Ye Chen had a good relationship, and after a moment of emotion, he quickly let his men enter the city, and he also wanted to be the first to capture the imperial city.
