Chapter 293 Hidden Murder
Xiongkuohai ordered the soldiers to wear the clothes of ordinary people. The north and south gates, because of Han Xiyuan's advance organization, all the residential houses on both sides were requisitioned as areas for soldiers to hide.
"Dahai, you lead the soldiers into the city first to investigate, and if there is something wrong, withdraw from the city immediately."
Wu Qingzhi spoke slowly to his generals.
Although he firmly believed that the imperial court had given up the struggle, he still wanted to send people into the city to investigate.
Not long after, [-] soldiers marched into the city. Xiong Kuohai took the initiative to sit at the south gate this time. Seeing this scene, he spoke slowly to his personal guards.
"Let me tell you that before King Ming Wu Qingzhi enters the city, the ministries must not act rashly and show their feet, so that King Ming's subordinates will find out."
In order to cooperate with this operation, Han Xiyuan still ordered all the officers of the first rank and above in the company to memorize the faces of Wu Qingzhi, King of Ming Dynasty, and Zhang Yuting, King of Song Dynasty.
The purpose of this is also to prevent the two from absconding after the defeat.
As Xiong Kuohai said, he took the initiative to walk down the city gate, ready to welcome Zhang Dahai and others.
Moreover, he also made a comprehensive coping strategy. For example, he arranged some people of different ages in the downtown area of the city to maintain normal commercial prosperity there.
This is also to create a peaceful and safe scene.
Zhang Dahai rode a tall horse and slowly entered the city, Xiong Kuohai paid a military salute.
"I am Xiong Kuohai, the governor of the Imperial Forest Army. I am here to wait for His Highness King Ming under His Majesty's military order. I wonder where His Highness King Ming is?"
On the surface, Xiong Kuohai's position is the governor of the Imperial Forest Army.
"His Royal Highness King Ming is coming from behind, I was just ordered to enter the city first."
As Zhang Dahai said, with a wave of his hand, he ordered the soldiers behind him to advance quickly and enter the city.
After searching for an hour, Zhang Dahai asked the messenger to send a signal to Wu Qingzhi to enter the city, which made Xiong Kuohai sweat. It's a tell-tale.
As for the side of the north gate, Zhang Yuting rode a tall horse directly into the city, and he ordered the soldiers to stay where they were and rest.
He personally led [-] soldiers to the palace, and even changed his normal routine by not wearing a military uniform, but wearing the court uniform of the Han Empire to show his respect for Han Xiyuan.
At this moment, Han Xiyuan was sitting in the palace, and the guards outside the gate kept sending news.
"Your Majesty, King Song Zhang Yuting has entered the city and is leading five hundred guards into the palace."
"Your Majesty, Ming Wang Wu Qingzhi also led the soldiers and began to enter the city."
........
When the good news came one after another, Han Xiyuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"It seems that this Zhang Yuting is obviously not aware of the danger coming, and he is still a loyal minister of the Han Empire. As for this Wu Qingzhi, he is too cautious. If he cannot be taken down this time, it will be a great hidden danger. "
After Han Xiyuan heard his personal guards report on the behavior and attire of the two feudal lords, he quickly made a judgment.
Obviously, Wu Qingzhi was the first to fall into the disadvantaged when compared with Zhang Yuting.
Han Xiyuan still prefers that Zhang Yuting can be reused appropriately in the future. As for Wu Qingzhi, he obviously has no intention of using him again. Even after thinking about it, he thinks that this person must be imprisoned to prevent him from rising again. Potential.
Just when Han Xiyuan was thinking about Wu Qingzhi, Wu Qingzhi had just entered the city, and he saw Xiongkuohai.
"I am Xiong Kuohai, Governor of the Imperial Forest Army. I have been waiting for His Royal Highness King Ming here for a long time by His Majesty's order."
"Tell me honestly, where is Zhang Yuting now?"
When Wu Qingzhi was in the rear of the army, he got the news that Zhang Yuting was also leading his troops into the city, so he stepped up the speed of entering the city, and as soon as he entered the city, he was the first to ask Xiong Kuohai.
"This...... I only know that Zhang Yuting entered the city two hours ago. After entering the city, he led the soldiers and went straight to the palace to meet His Majesty."
Xiong Kuohai was thinking about how to insinuate all this situation to Wu Qingzhi in front of him, and now he asked Xiong Kuohai directly, which saved him a lot of beating around the bush.
But he had to make a slightly hesitant movement and demeanor.
Hearing Xiong Kuohai's answer, Wu Qingzhi thought something was wrong, and immediately patted his horse and led a thousand soldiers to the direction of the palace.
Seeing this scene, Xiong Kuohai glanced at the guard behind him, and the guard understood, and retreated slowly.
"General Xiong Kuohai, now our department is going to hand over your guns to you, I hope you can cooperate."
Zhang Dahai is impatient to remove the possible threat in front of him, and now he has sent someone to firmly hold the city gate in his own hands.
Looking at the direction of Wu Qingzhi's departure, Xiong Kuohai sat down and concluded that it is the most appropriate moment to launch a counterattack at this moment.
So, he spoke directly to Zhang Dahai in front of him, but he had a sharp knife hidden in the cuff of his right hand, and Zuo Li in his left hand, and took out his soldier talisman from his waist.
"This is the soldier talisman of the Imperial Forest Army of the Han Empire. I will be the first to offer it now. However, Your Majesty, we have not yet reached an agreement with the King of Song. I am expressing my sincerity in advance. I hope that you can protect my future after the event."
Xiong Kuohai showed a smile, and between the lines, it was revealed that he hoped to serve Wu Qingzhi, but this was all a secret signal he had prepared in advance.
The soldiers in the dark, seeing Xiong Kuohai take out the Tiger Talisman, also took out the hidden weapon slowly.
"It's natural. As long as General Xiong Kuohai is willing to surrender to His Highness King Ming, he will be able to enjoy endless glory and wealth. That Song King Zhang Yuting is no match for His Highness King Ming. Don't worry."
Zhang Dahai also responded with a smile, and then stretched out his right hand to get the tiger talisman. At this moment, Xiong Kuohai stepped forward, approached Xiong Kuohai, and put a dagger on Zhang Dahai's neck. .
"General Zhang Dahai, this dagger of mine has been poisoned. As long as it touches your skin lightly, you will die suddenly on the spot. Therefore, I hope you will not act rashly and let your people, from the gate tower Get up and down."
Zhang Dahai was very stunned by the sudden appearance, but when he regained his composure, he immediately wanted to pull out the gun on his waist, wanting to resist.
However, when he heard Xiong Kuohai's words, he immediately stopped resisting. He is also a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. He thinks there is no need to throw his life here.
Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a trap. After all, soldiers are rushing here from all directions.
"Adjutant Zhang, what are you hesitating about? Do you want me to die? Follow General Xiong Kuohai's orders quickly."
Zhang Dahai yelled at his adjutant, and this adjutant could only quickly let the soldiers on the tower down quickly.
Through this method, Xiong Kuohai regained the control of the city gate without bloodshed, and he directly closed the city gate, which made the Zhijun outside the city feel very strange.
Especially the Zhijun who wanted to enter the city called the door directly under the tower. If it wasn't for the scruples that Ming Wang Wu Qingzhi felt the sound of the cannon, Xiong Kuohai would have fired back.
On the other side, Yang Huming, the brigade commander of the Fengjun Sixth Brigade at the north gate, was obviously not aware of the danger coming. He didn't even intend to control the city gate in his own hands. There are several kilns.
These are the brothels in Longdu, the most famous of which are the three kiln houses, which are even jokingly called fairyland.
Yang Huming was originally a bandit, he didn't know the priorities, he only knew that if he won the battle, he must enjoy it.
Only this can comfort his soul. After all, they all live with their heads on their waistbands.
Faced with Yang Huming's sudden departure, the guard at the north gate, Yang Ganhan, the governor of Jinyiwei who was in charge of taking Yang Huming down, was very happy.
He directly ordered the soldiers hiding in the dark to rush out quickly and quietly surrounded the Sixth Brigade. He also sent 100 people to the kiln yard to arrest Yang Huming.
At this moment, Zhang Yuting and Wu Qingzhi didn't know that their subordinates were all taken down by Han Xiyuan in silence.
Under the guidance of the eunuch, Zhang Yuting walked towards the inner palace of the palace. As for Wu Qingzhi, he was still advancing at full speed.
He didn't realize at all that there were soldiers ambushing on both sides of the street he passed by. As long as they waited for Wu Qingzhi to leave, these soldiers would quickly walk out, and then sealed off the place.
