Aspiration

Chapter 33
In the deputy general's mansion, Yao Xiao got up from the bed.Hearing the sergeant's report, the two groups of soldiers and horses in the city started fighting, and I was really surprised.The person who killed Yang Sichang, is that okay?He figured that no matter who was responsible, the general flag that caused the trouble had to be cut off before the job could be done, so he ordered: "Prepare the horse!"

He has to deal with it himself.Today I received an official letter from Yang Sichang, saying that his standard battalion, a thousand generals, assisted him in the garrison of Kaifeng, because recently the bandits from Huguang have an army of tens of thousands of people moving from Bozhou, Anhui, and they may threaten Kaifeng at any time and disturb His Royal Highness Zhou Wang.

Yao Xiao was very dissatisfied with Yang Sichang's arrangement, but what can be done?Yang Sichang can be described as a pillar in the court, the emperor's right-hand man.Therefore, as soon as he received the military letter, he immediately moved the supply camp south of Xiangguo Temple and let them station there.It's a little far away from the busy city, but not too far away. The purpose is to keep them from causing trouble as much as possible.

However, something happened before the full day, and their people were killed, which is a troublesome matter.

Yao Xiao didn't dare to be careless, he brought all his two hundred soldiers and generals together.

"The general is here!"

Li Laiheng was waiting for this general.

It is not easy to find the general at the door, but it is not difficult to get him out. Li Laiheng's siege of the patrol soldiers is to lure him out.This man looked at Yang Sichang's face, he was very obedient, and he came out in a short time.

With Yao Xiao's stern face and anger, he rode forward.

"Tie them up!" Without hesitation, he directed his personal soldiers to tie up all 49 members of the patrol team.He had to make an appearance for Yang Sichang to see, and he had to make an exaggerated appearance.

"You killed the person, right?" Yao Xiao asked the Chief Banner Officer.

"Yes. But yes" he tried to argue.

"cut!"

"Help!" The chief banner officer was wronged. He didn't die in battle, but was beheaded because of his guilt.Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of "cha", and the head of the Chief Banner Officer fell to the ground.

Under the firelight in the dark night, a burst of blood spurted out, followed by a strong smell of blood, which was creepy.

"General Yao is well-deserved of his reputation. Master Yang appreciates his rigorous military management," Li Laiheng said.

"Is this General Li?"

"Correct."

"Offended. General Li is blaming this general for not being strict with the army, and the soldiers violated the military law, right? General Li, please speak nicely in front of Master Yang in the future." Yao Xiao said holding back the anger in his heart.He was going to meet the Qianhu official tomorrow, but unexpectedly, they met here in the middle of the night, and they still met in this way.

The corpses are lying on the ground, which is bad luck.General Yao Xiao felt uncomfortable seeing the person sent by his superior like this.

"General Yao wants me to speak well in front of Lord Yang?" Li Laiheng glanced to the left and right.

"Yes, please speak well, General."

"Then I'll borrow your head. Yang Sichang will come to meet you soon."

Li Laiheng's words fell, the sword rose, and the head of Lieutenant General Yao Xiao turned 360 degrees in the air.At the same time, 200 people raised their knives, and in an instant, [-] heads fell to the ground.Li Laiheng reduced one opponent for Li Zicheng, perhaps, his eye was saved.

Those who were tied up were not touched. For those who could not fight back, Li Laiheng and the others were not butchers.They galloped to the east gate.

The soldiers guarding the city looked at the galloping horses suspiciously, they were at a loss.

"Open the city gate!" Luo Hu shouted.

The soldiers guarding the city gate didn't know which stick of incense was burning well. They opened the city gate in a daze. When they woke up, they realized that they had to use the command arrows to enter and exit the city gate. But it was too late, and the 200 people had already disappeared. in the dark.They immediately sent someone to report to General Yao.Of course, General Yao is dead.They would have died themselves, thanks to a mistake they had made and let the enemy go.So, people, it's not necessarily a bad thing to make mistakes sometimes, and if they take themselves too seriously, they're destined to be martyrs.

Unlike the east gate, the other three gates have all had battles.But they are all short-lived. When the guards wake up and those who have a chance to wake up are ready to send people to hunt them down, where are there traces in the dark night?
The city of Kaifeng was in chaos.Thousands of soldiers will be killed suddenly, and the whole city will be trapped in hell.

"Massacre the city!" Someone invented the vocabulary, and someone yelled such a sentence. Soon, the entire Kaifeng city was plunged into extreme terror.Originally, it was noisy and noisy, but it quickly turned into a terrifying silence.

Kaifeng's top military officer, including his personal soldiers and generals, all disappeared in an instant. For Kaifeng, there is nothing more terrifying than this.

King Zhou was the uncle of Emperor Chongzhen. When he suddenly received such bad news, he suddenly sat up too fat and couldn't sit up, so he rolled under the bed in a daze.

"What? Who? Who slaughtered the city?" King Zhou asked, who was paralyzed on the ground like a puddle of mud.

"Yang Yang Sichang's troops," the eunuch replied.

"Yang Sichang? Yang Sichang rebelled?"

"No, I don't know."

Although there were no dead people in the King Zhou's mansion, an arrow was shot on the lintel of the inner city gate. On the arrowhead was a letter to the King of Zhou, which was nothing more than insulting the King of Zhou and the current court for being corrupt, incompetent, and oppressing the people.
.
The generals who came out of the four city gates rushed southward quickly according to the original plan.

Tonight's training subject is "opening and gathering", eight hundred soldiers scattered and attacked, and then assembled quickly.This subject, tonight is the first actual combat, the difficulty is not small, the key is that the timing of the attack must be accurate, and the mission must be completed cleanly.Tonight, all the brigades were completed smoothly, and no personnel were lost during the entire operation.

Now, you must act fast.

In the enemy's rear, the key to turning to battle is to move quickly so that the enemy has no time to deploy.Li Laiheng's troops are now in eastern Henan, the rear of the Ming army.They came from Shaanxi and fought to the east of Henan, spanning more than a thousand miles, and the further east they went, the greater the danger.So, a quick southward move tonight.

Try to get as close to Xutong County as possible before dawn.

From Beijing to Xiangyang, Kaifeng is the main road of transportation. Now Li Laiheng is moving on Yang Sichang's cordon. Although their clothes belong to the Ming army, the scouts of Yang Sichang's army are definitely not idiots.

Li Laiheng is very satisfied with today's actions, he intends to end the training.Today, after going south through Xuchang, they took off their clothes from the Ming army, showed their true colors, and rushed a thousand miles to the city of Shangzhou.

The sky gradually brightened, and there were no pursuers.Because, the enemy's main general is gone, and one of the three guards is gone, how can anyone dare to chase after him?Li Laiheng estimated that the [-] soldiers and horses outside the city might still be asleep.The pressure on Kaifeng will not be too great. If the Kaifeng defenders want to chase, it will be after noon.And after noon, this army will mysteriously disappear again.

However, the development of things did not go according to Li Laiheng's plan, as expected.
