Chapter 307 Sweeping away all the demons and sweeping away the haze

On June 12, the [-]th year of Ming Chongzhen, at Yin time, the sun only showed a little shadow on the eastern horizon, and the earth was still in a state of sleep, and gusts of mountain wind mixed with the water vapor of the White River were blowing against Chi Castle.

There is a small woodland less than two miles south of Chi Castle. Zhang Cheng and others arrived here in the middle of the night and camped here. After a short rest for two hours, they began to organize their horses, armor, and ordnance.

Chen Huzi was dressed as an old farmer, and he was squatting beside Zhang Cheng at the moment. His expression was also unusually angry. Ever since he received the information from Chen Zhong, he had been guarding the only way to wait for Zhang Cheng's team.

"General, in order to prevent the old Wu thief from escaping, the big monkey led people to guard the east gate, so as not to let the troops in the fort open the east gate. He ordered me to escort the general to rush in from the south gate. Now the south gate has also arranged people. In two quarters of an hour the fort gate will open,
In addition, Su Tou personally escorted the chief Song Shanquan to the South Campus last night, and there has been no movement until now. It must have shocked the gang of troops, but Wu Youqing is in the East Campus, and we cannot separate our people here. le. "

Zhang Cheng pondered for a while, and then said: "No problem, there are not many people in the garrison department, they are just women, children and servants. I will send out a hundred riders, and you will be responsible for leading the way. After entering the fort, go straight to the east gate and specialize in the east gate School grounds."

Zhang Cheng raised his head to look at the white belly rising from the sky, and everyone didn't dare to disturb him, they just sat around the soft bed under him and waited quietly. After a while, Zhang Cheng came back to his senses.

He said in a deep voice: "Chen Zhong, take Liu Quan and Zhao Shihu's troops, and Chen Huzi will lead the way for you. After entering the fort, go straight to the east gate to meet the big monkey at the fastest speed, and deal with Wu Youqing in the east school grounds.
If there is any obstacle on the road, no matter who it is, they will be killed. As for the East School Field, Wu Youqing must be captured first to control the situation, and then I will find out all the people who participated in the Gu Road interception. "

"Yes, Chen Zhong took the order. General, after those people are under control, how should we deal with it?"

"Wait for our military order. Remember, no one can escape from the East Campus."

"Chen Zhong takes orders!"

Seeing Chen Zhong step aside, Zhang Cheng called Zhang Guodong again, and said to him: "Guodong, you have fifty elite cavalry in charge of guarding the government office. Those who resist with weapons will be killed on the spot.

As for the people in the garrison department, as long as they don't resist, those servants and maidservants can let them go and let them take care of them, but none of Wu Youlu's family members can be let go. Get away alone. "

Then, Zhang Cheng said again: "Wei Zhice, you lead the guards into the castle with me, and you will be by my side."

He glanced at the crowd again, and said in a cold tone: "Go and prepare, and act immediately when the gate of the fort opens."

…………

The first ray of sunlight in the east shone on the earth. Some people had gathered outside the Dading Gate in the south of Red Castle. knight.

Behind this team of knights were three flat wagons and a sedan. Inside the wagon were Zhang Cheng, Wei Zhice, and the medical officer Shi Jianneng. Eight guards rode horses to guard the sides of the wagon.

Chen Huzi, who was originally in front, saw that the sky was getting dark, so he ran to the van and said softly, "General, I'm going to call the door."

"Ahem, let's go..." A weak voice came from the van.

Chen Huzi rode his horse towards Dading Gate, and after a while, Dading Gate slowly opened, and the big monkey and Chen Huzi rode their horses towards them. They stopped in front of Chen Zhong's horse, and Chen Huzi led Chen Zhong and other hundred riders towards Dading Door.

The big monkey rushed to the side of the van where Zhang Cheng was, and said in a loud voice: "General, Sutou has sent a message that the South Campus has been completely controlled. According to the general's order, they are not allowed to participate in the operation. The door is now closed and no one can enter or leave. "

"Enter the castle. Cough cough cough..."

Following Zhang Cheng's military order, the big monkey galloped up to Zhang Guodong and said, "I will lead the way for General Zhang."

After the big monkey finished speaking, he galloped out, and Zhang Guodong hurriedly urged the horse to follow. The fifty elite riders behind him were all veterans who had participated in the Battle of King Qin, and they were extremely loyal to Zhang Cheng. To avenge his own master, with murderous aura, he could feel the coldness from a long distance away.

…………

The rapid sound of horseshoes resounded through the Red Castle. From south to east, many early-rising military households in the castle were full of astonishment, not knowing what happened.

Chicheng defender Wu Youlu is in a dream. Last night his clan brothers Wu Youqing and Xue Jing led the team back to Chicheng, bringing him good news. The new guard general Zhang Cheng has been shot into a hedgehog by a poisonous arrow stained with horse manure. .

Because the sky was getting dark, Wu Youlu was in a good mood, so he stayed Xue Jing in his garrison station for one night, and returned to Dushi tomorrow when the sky was clear.

Wu Youqing placed the fifty dead servants that Xue Jing brought over to the East Campus, and he ordered the hundreds of households under him to treat them well, not to neglect them, and not to show the stinginess of Chi Castle.

The three of them drank in the wing room until late at night. Not only did they celebrate getting rid of Zhang Cheng, but they even had a good plan on how to manage the deputy commander Zhang Guowei and the military constitution He Chongwu.

After the banquet was over, they each fell into a dreamland, each of them looking forward to their own future in the dreamland, enjoying the scenery of guarding the generals and defending.

According to their plan, they will use money to manage all parties, so that Wu Youlu will serve as the guard general, while Xue Jing and Wu Youqing will be promoted to guards, guarding Dushi and Chicheng respectively.

Wu Youlu was standing on a high platform with a golden armor and a pure white sword hanging from his waist. Nearly ten thousand soldiers were lined up in a team to accept his review.

"My lord... it's not good... my lord... wake up..."

A burst of urgent shouts awakened Wu Youlu's sweet dream. He jumped up and was about to curse, but the housekeeper Wu Xin hurriedly said: "My lord, then... the military horse of the general has entered the castle!"

Wu Youlu was terrified, his face turned pale, and he asked loudly, "How do you know? How many people are here?"

"Returning to my lord, when I got up early, I heard the noise of people outside. When I went out to take a look, I realized that it was the general who entered the fort."

"Where is Youqing, where is Wu Youqing?"

Wu Youlu looked terrified. He dressed in a panic while asking what Wu Youqing was doing.

"Return to the adults, the younger one reported to Mr. Wu first, Mr. Wu put on his clothes and went out, and he hasn't returned yet..."

At this moment, there was a shout from outside the door: "Brother...Big brother...It was Chen Zhong who brought people to report the funeral to Lord Bingxian. He was wearing a white banner and a white scarf on his head. It's really dead!"

As the door was pushed open, Wu Youqing and Xue Jing barged in. The clothes on the two of them were not neat, and they seemed to have hurriedly put them on before going out, but the expressions on their faces at this moment were extremely excited.

After all, he is an experienced person, who can sit on the defensive position, but how can he be a mediocre person? Wu Youlu asked with a puzzled face: "Why is Chen Zhong so fast, why is it so fast to report the funeral?"

The smiles on Wu Youqing and Xue Jing's faces froze instantly!
