The security of Daning City has become stricter recently, and even ordinary people have noticed the solemnity of the atmosphere.
Since the last time the commander of the guard, Zhu Jian, ordered to strengthen the defense of the city, and sent a team of soldiers and horses to be stationed outside the Ning Wangfu, trapping the Ning Wangfu to the ground, only the arrogant and arrogant Princess Ning and her personal soldiers brought out by Duo Yanwei were the only ones who could freely enter and leave Daning City.
In the past few days, the leaders of Duoyan Sanwei and some small tribe leaders under the jurisdiction of Daning Dusi have rushed to Daning City one after another, preparing to congratulate King Ning on his birthday, and Daning City's vigilance has become even stricter.
Most of the leaders and leaders of these steppe tribes have official positions rewarded by the imperial court, but they still use their accustomed titles and identities when communicating within the tribe and with the outside world, and they are not as full of awe of the imperial court as those who are officially officials, and they do not pay much attention to their actions as court officials.
At the moment, King Ning is a phoenix with wings, and the officials of the Da Ning Dusi try to keep a distance from King Ning, even if King Ning is a cronie who has been raised by his hand, in order to avoid suspicion, he can only find an opportunity to show his concern in private, but these tribal leaders will not have this kind of scruples, according to the habits of the grassland people, the more they should be considerate and helpful when their friends are in trouble, because people are in trouble and avoid seeing that the estranged person is not worthy of being a friend, it is to be despised, as for the position of the court, they have never had this kind of awareness.
Although Zhu Jian had read the ambiguous letter written by the leader of Fuyuwei, Ao Dengge Ge Yule, to King Ning, he could send troops to trap King Ning's mansion, but before the court decided to use force, he could not anger these tribal leaders.
In fact, in the eyes of the imperial court, these tribal leaders who were given seals and official status were not really regarded as their own officials, but regarded them as restless people and half-recruited bandits, such a position, of course, was unwilling to provoke them, so before clarifying the intentions of the imperial court, Zhu Jian was unwilling to bear the charge of provoking the tribe to rebel.
In this way, Zhu Jian can only draw more troops to strengthen the supervision of these people, but he can not use many soldiers, Chen Heng and Liu Zhen have received his secret report, but they have not yet brought troops over, because the current defense focus is not outside the pass, but in the pass, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, led the army to go around along the border, and the generals of the border passes received orders from Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo: strictly guard the pass, in case Zhu Di takes advantage of the weakness.
Chen Heng and Liu Zhen couldn't transfer all the troops at Songting Pass away, they had to arrange the defense of Songting Pass and other passes before they could rush to Daning.
Therefore, when the leaders and leaders of the various departments entered Daning City, Zhu Jian could only draw more soldiers and horses from the city defense forces to guard them and monitor them, as for the city defense, he did not have to worry too much, he arranged a lot of exploration horses on the way to Fuyu, Taining, and Duoyan Sanwei, if there was any disturbance in their tribes, he could arrest the leaders of the various departments in the city as soon as possible, and then turn around and reinforce the troops to the city.
In this way, the guards at the city gate were relatively few, and Xu Jiang, as his henchman, was responsible for the guards of the southern city alone, which created an excellent opportunity for the surprise attack of King Yan's army.
King Yan only arrived at Liujiakou half an hour later than Zhang Yu, and immediately rushed non-stop, the army crossed the pass and rushed straight to Liujiakou, still taking Zhang Yu's department as the vanguard, not stopping for a moment, the people of the small town under the mountain were stunned, they had lived here for decades, and they had never seen so many soldiers, until tens of thousands of troops swept through the town, they still didn't know what was going on, and they didn't know whose people and horses this team was.
This way, Zhang Yu's army covered the banner and only cared about the march, and there were also some nomadic tribes and villages and towns settled by the Han people on the road.
When the vanguard was about to rush to Daning City, they still repeated the same trick, ordering some soldiers to disguise themselves as herdsmen and farmers to rush to the south gate first, and get in touch with Xu Jiang, who had already been bought by Ning Wangfu, and Li Ying rebelled to seize the city gate.
When Zhu Jian got the news and hurried to the city gate, he saw a mile away Yanzi banner waving in the wind, Zhang Yu led the Yanwang Iron Horse to roll up the dust, like a long dragon straight to the city gate, Zhu Jian did not have time to recapture the city gate, the army of the Yan King broke through the city, and started a street battle with the officers and soldiers of Daningwei.
Zhu Jian fought and retreated, and when he retreated to the gate of the Daning Wei Command Envoy, he was shot in the throat by a wolf's tooth arrow and killed on the spot.
The cavalry of the king of Yan shouted all over the city in advance of Zhu Jian's heads, and when they saw that the commander had been killed, the officers and soldiers of the Daning Guard, who were still fighting in the streets and alleys, put down their swords and guns and raised their hands to surrender, and the Daning Guard fell into the hands of the Yan army with lightning speed.
From Xu Jiang opened the city, when the Yan army broke the door, the palace gate of Ning Wangfu was closed, and the guards and warriors all climbed the palace wall, holding bows, crossbows, knives and guns to wait for them, whether it was the officers and soldiers of Daning Wei or the iron cavalry of Yan Jun, just fighting fiercely outside the palace, Ning Wangfu ignored it, and always stood by, and waited until Zhang Yu initially controlled Daning City, and rushed to Ning Wangfu covered in blood.
Zhang Yu didn't feel a little confused, and hurriedly called someone to find Xia Xun, Xia Xun was taking people to receive Daningwei's armory, baggage warehouse, grain and grass equipment, military uniform tent and household registration military register, Zhang Yu's people found Xia Xun, Xia Xun just found the roster of the whole warehouse, Xia Xun said to Saiha Zhi like a treasure: "Look close, don't watch close, other things are not important, only the roster of this treasury, don't lose a volume, these are of great use." ” At this moment, the people sent by Zhang Yu arrived, Xia Xun heard him tell him about the situation, and he was also a little puzzled in his heart: "Didn't it be decided a long time ago, the city was broken, that is, when King Ning fulfilled his promise, now that the city has been broken, what is King Ning doing?"
Xia Xun hurriedly said: "Okay, let's go to King Ning's Mansion to see General Zhang Yu." ” Xia Xun was uneasy and replied to Saihazhi: "Old Ha, you can show me tightly, not a single book in this warehouse is allowed to be lost." ” Saihazhi said: "My lord, what does it matter about these broken books, are they worth more than the armor battle?"
Xia Xun said: "That's natural, forget the letter, let me tell you, these books, as long as they are used well, they are knives and guns, artillery, and the magic weapons of His Highness, you know, watch closely, your head can be lost, and you are not allowed to lose one of these books." ” "Good" Sehachi immediately glared at the bull's eye, drew his knife and stood guard in front of the door, looking like he was going to fight with someone.
When Xia Xun and Zhang Yu's personal soldiers left in a hurry, Sai Hazhi glanced back at the tattered roster, scratched the back of his head, and said to himself in confusion: "When His Royal Highness swept Mobei, I know how to fight, that is a real sword and a real gun, when are books so powerful, what do I need my old Ha's knife to do if books can win battles?"
He didn't know that it was a war against foreign tribes, but this time it was internal strife among his own family.
What is stored in this warehouse is not only the household registration and military register of the officers and soldiers of Daning Guard, but the roster of the entire 80,000 troops of the Daning Capital Division.
Of course, King Yan hopes that King Ning will be able to recruit all the 80,000 troops of the Daning Dusi under his command, but this is unrealistic, Chen Heng, Liu Zhen and other army generals of the Daning Dusi are still there, and the middle and lower-level officers have also been transferred by them one after another.
King Yan can't afford to drag it outside the pass, he must take the 80,000 army under his command as quickly as possible, instead of fighting and conquering the passes, otherwise when the 80,000 army arrives, Beiping may have been lost, and his best outcome at that time is to occupy Daning and be the king of Saiwai.
Daning is the capital of the Daning Division, the families of generals at all levels, including the families of many soldiers are in Daning City, and if you master their roster, you can grasp the names of these soldiers and generals, their places of origin and even the identity of their families, which is a wonderful means to surrender the soldiers without a fight, and the King of Yan fought against the governor Song Zhong in a war, with 8,000 enemies and 40,000, it was by this kind of family offensive that Song Zhong's army turned against him.
Xia Xun got on the horse, and Zhang Yu's personal soldiers hurried to Ning Wangfu, along the way only to see that the fighting had stopped in the streets and alleys, the streets and alleys were full of Yan army sentry posts, some soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, carrying out corpses from the alleys and alleys, and in the open spaces of the streets, the Daning Wei soldiers who had put down their swords and guns and surrendered were all centrally guarded.
Xia Xun asked: "After the Daning guards surrendered, they were not hurt by the killing and poke, but the people and gentry in Daning City were disturbed?"
The pro-soldier said: "Who dares, before entering the city, didn't General Zhang Yu personally pass on His Highness's orders, those who dare to kidnap a family and dare to hurt a people, don't worry about killing, His Highness's military orders are never discounted, everyone is very well-behaved." ” Xia Xun nodded and said: "That's good, maybe any rich gentry, there are sons and nephews in the family who are generals in the army, maybe which family of people, the husband or son is the captain and soldier on a certain pass, they are not violated and harmed, and His Royal Highness can recruit 80,000 iron horsemen from the Daning Dusi to be able to do it smoothly." ” As he was talking, he rushed to the front of King Ning's Mansion, Zhang Yu was pacing back and forth there, and when he saw Xia Xun, he hurriedly greeted him and said: "Wen Xuan, you and King Ning's Mansion can seriously discuss it Now that Daning City is already in hand, my brother came to ask to see King Ning, but the palace door was closed, no one paid attention, and my brother wanted to get closer, so he shot arrows from above, and no one was allowed to approach, His Royal Highness King Yan was about to arrive, didn't there be something wrong with King Ning's Mansion."
"No, King Ning has already mixed up to this step of the field, and now that Daning City has fallen into the hands of His Royal Highness, what tricks can he play?"
Xia Xun thought for a while and said, "Give me a flag, I'll go see him" If you want to say that the flag is lowered, most of them are white flags, flags are flags, flags are flags, there is still a little difference in the style of the two, the flag is a war, the flag is not a war, the white flag is surrender, the army is not prepared to do the white flag, then the commander's handsome flag is upside down and hung upside down, so Xia Xun rushed down the "Zhang Yu" head and hung it on the pole, waving the flag and going straight to the gate of Ning Wangfu To be continued:
