Chapter 884 Refused to call the door, the governor died
Outside the South Gate of Xiangcheng County, Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan Province, a group of cavalry appeared, with a number of four to five hundred. All of them rode tall horses, and they came slowly within two miles.

With the brilliance of the rising sun, the sergeants guarding the pass also saw the cavalry in the distance. During the battle, without distinguishing between friend and foe, a small school shouted orders, and immediately closed the closed gate that had just been opened, and closed it again.

What the small school guarding the closed gate didn't know was that the [-] cavalry coming from a distance were exactly the one that was waiting for Fu Zonglong, the governor of the three sides.

And Fu Zonglong was also riding his horse in front of him at the moment, and there were several capable knights on the left and right guarding him. Even the reins of his war horse were held in the hands of the knights beside him.

Looking at the gate tower of the South Gate and the guards with their bows and arrows on the wall, Liu Tichun, the trespasser general, turned his head and glanced at Tong Shoushan beside him, and then said to Fu Zonglong, the governor of the three sides of the Ming Dynasty: "Governor Fu, the South Gate of Xiangcheng is ahead. Please open your mouth to open and close the door for me. When the army enters the city, I will treat Governor Fu and the people in the city well."

Fu Zonglong, on the other hand, did not say a word.

Liu Tichun had no choice but to go up to the closed door and shout loudly: "We are the army of the governor of Shaanxi, and the guards came here from the burning shop. Please open the door quickly and welcome the governor into the city!"

The closed gate of Xiangcheng Nanguan is not as tall as the city gate, but a row of sergeants can also stand on it for defensive purposes, but the guards above did not answer, as if they were discussing something.

Tong Shoushan also rode forward at this time. He pointed at Fu Zonglong with a whip, and shouted to the guards on the closed door: "Look carefully, the governors of the three sides are here. Don't blind your dog's eyes. Do you want to eat today's horses?" Is the Shang Fang Sword bestowed by the Holy One not working?"

Hearing what he said, he seemed to hesitate for a while when he closed the door, only to see the little school shout back: "Masters, please wait for a moment, I don't know the governor, and now the thief is around Infestation, the opening and closing of the door is a big matter, and it will be decided when I report my job to the Shangguan."

Tong Shoushan turned his head to look at Liu Tichun, seeing him nodding slightly, he replied: "Go quickly, tell the magistrate of Xiangcheng to come quickly, and personally welcome Fu Du into the city. If he is a little slow, he is just a magistrate, but I can't afford to eat it."

Immediately afterwards, there seemed to be fewer people closing the door, and they must have gone to Xunxiang City Magistrate to report the matter.

At this time Liu Tichun turned his head and looked at Tong Shoushan, and then gave the left and right thieves a wink, and nearly half of the horse thieves got off their horses one after another, and got up about fifty paces away from Nanguan.

After they waited for a while, several bandit soldiers stepped forward to help Fu Zonglong, who was riding on the horse, to sit and rest on a nearby stone, and gave him a few sips of water.

At this time, Tong Shoushan rode forward for more than ten steps, and there were only twenty steps left before closing the door. He shouted: "Listen, guards, the governor is rushing from the burning shop at night. Very tired.

Now open the closed gate first, and then prepare some food. Please go to Nanguan to rest first, and wait for your county magistrate to come, and then open the city gate to welcome the governor to enter the city. "

At the end, he threatened loudly: "If you really neglect the governor, even if Xiangcheng county magistrate can be saved from death, how can you escape the death penalty?"

In Guancheng, the little school also felt a little worried when he heard the words. After a while, he poked his head out and shouted: "Then I will invite the governor to go to Nanguan to rest first. You are waiting for the military master, but you have to wait for the county magistrate." command, you can come in."

Tong Shoushan cursed inwardly, "What an idiot", and then replied loudly: "It's fine! It's fine to only be accompanied by the governor's servants and personal soldiers. I'll wait outside the closed door for orders."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand to the place where he came from, signaling that the governor Fu Zonglong would go into the pass to rest first.

Speaking of which, Fu Zonglong, the governor of the three sides here, also heard the conversation between Tong Shoushan and the gatekeeper, and he even saw with his own eyes someone going down the upper floor of the Nanguan Gate, guessing that it should be to open and close the gate.

Suddenly, Fu Zonglong felt that his body was light and light. It turned out that the bandit soldiers here saw Tong Shoushan's hand gesture, got up and set up Fu Zonglong, and then went to the South Gate.

The house servant Lu San was shocked when he saw this, but before he could utter a sound, he was surrounded by a group of thieves, a rag was stuffed into his mouth, and he could not utter a sound.

Not only him, but the other two servants who were with Fu Zonglong in the end, as well as the dozen or so soldiers were also held between the necks by the bandits with knives, and they did not dare to make a sound.

Only the general Li Benshi is the most loyal to Fu Zonglong, and he is also the only general of the Ming army who followed Fu Zonglong to the last moment!

However, although he dared to resist, after all, Li Benshi, who was already hungry and tired, could be their opponent when there were so many bandit soldiers.

However, fortunately, the bandits made noises under the pain, and never stabbed him with knives, slashes and spears. Although the old punches on his body were painful, they did not endanger his life after all.

Li Benshi, who was loyal to Daming here, was knocked to the ground by random punches, and outside the closed door on the other side, Tong Shoushan, the general of the bandit army, also had mixed feelings in his heart.

From the point of view of his heart, he is extremely unwilling to let the thieves attack Xiangcheng, but at this moment, as a member of the thieves, he can't reveal his true thoughts to the outside.

In that case, not only will my family ruin the plan of the master, but even myself and the eighty brothers who joined the gang at the beginning will die on the spot.

"If you want to be a thief, then you have to be a thief with all beard and tail, be the wolf of the thief, and make your own name!"

This was what Zhang Cheng asked Bao Jiqiang, the team officer, to bring to him when Zhang Cheng ordered him to mix in with the bandits and act as his undercover agent.

In the past half a year, he has always kept in mind, never dared to forget, and he did exactly as Zhang Cheng ordered, and with Chen Zhong's secret help from the side, in just half a year, he became a strong member of the Chuangjun team. Quite a leader.

"Listen to the truth in the city, I am Fu Zonglong, the governor of the three sides. Unfortunately, I fell into the hands of thieves. Both the left and the right are thieves. Don't be fooled. You must not open the city... Do not open the city..."

Just when Tong Shoushan was distressed, Fu Zonglong let out an angry roar, which caused a great chaos on the door and door.

Especially on the wall of the South Pass, it became a mess in an instant. They ran up and down screaming and screaming, and there were also sparse bows and arrows shooting at the bandit soldiers outside the South Pass.

Liu Tichun, known as the "Two Tigers" among the trespassers, was furious when he saw this. He rode forward viciously, and spit on Fu Zonglong's face with a "bah".

Immediately afterwards, he waved his hand and led all the bandits and cavalry to retreat beyond the range of the defenders' bows and crossbows. Liu Tichun yelled at Fu Zonglong: "You old dog, you are so ungrateful!"

Fu Zonglong already knew at this moment that he successfully blocked the trick of the thieves to use him to earn Xiangcheng, and because of this, he preserved his reputation behind him. It can be said that he has no regrets in this life.

At that moment, instead of being angry, he was happy, and said to Liu Tichun: "Hmph. You must know that you are a thief who will bring disaster to the country, and everyone will punish you if you get it. This governor is indeed an important minister of the court, so how could he call the city for a thief? What a wishful thinking! "

Fu Zonglong already had the great intention of sacrificing his life for the country and repaying the emperor's kindness when the shop was burned. Now that he is in the hands of thieves, he knows that there is no hope of escape.

Originally, he was still worried that if he died for no reason like this, whether he would be used by the thieves to ruin his family's reputation, bring shame to the family, and he would be ashamed to his ancestors.

Now, just now, when I was passing Xiangcheng Nanguan, I shouted hoarsely, but many people have seen it firsthand, and it will be heard by the heavens in the future. We will build temples and shrines, and pay homage to them forever!
Fu Zonglong thought about this, and he had no scruples, he only wanted to die quickly, and then he shouted loudly: "If you want to kill, kill, the governor has half his life as a soldier, and he has already put life and death aside, how can he earn a city for a thief to delay his death? "

"Two Tigers" Liu Tichun tilted his mouth, and the bandit soldier holding the reins of Fu Zonglong's horse saw this, and immediately pulled Fu Zonglong off the horse.

Tong Shoushan also admired Fu Zonglong when he saw that although he was captured alive by bandits, he would rather die than surrender.

However, he also knew at this time that Fu Zonglong had already given up his own way of earning money, and at the same time he had also given up his own way of life. Seeing Liu Tichun's murderous intentions, he was afraid that Fu Zonglong would be tortured inhumanely before he died.

Immediately, he drew out the steel knife at his waist, galloped forward, raised the knife with a very sharp hand, and chopped off the head of Fu Zonglong, governor of Shaanxi and the three sides of the Ming Dynasty.

He stopped his horse and looked back at the head of the loyal minister and general of the Ming Dynasty rolling to the ground, then rolled forward stubbornly for a while before stopping, he couldn't help but sighed in his heart.

Liu Tichun himself really wanted to kill, but he didn't want to end Fu Zonglong with a single knife, but tortured him to death in every possible way in order to relieve the hatred in his heart.

It must be that this time King Chuang sent him to earn Xiangcheng, but he was messed up by the damn Fu Zonglong, telling him how to bear it.

But seeing that Tong Shoushan had already ended Fu Zonglong's life with a single blow, he couldn't say anything else, so he rode his horse up to him, gave Tong Shoushan a thumbs up, and praised: "Master Shan, what a good sword technique!"

Tong Shoushan stretched out his hand to pull away his beard, grinning with a big mouth and said, "Hey, I don't dare to mention sword skills in front of 'Flying Tiger General'."

He then went on to say: "Master Liu, this city will not be profitable, so let's not waste time here, why not return to the camp and see what Master Hu orders."

Liu Tichun nodded when he heard the words, but he still seemed unwilling to do so. Looking at Fu Zonglong's corpse lying in a pool of blood, he glared and shouted: "Come on, cut off this guy's ears and nose for me!" Leh!"

Tong Shoushan was shocked, but it was inconvenient to stop him. Although destroying the body of the deceased is a bad thing, it is a common thing in the army.

However, fortunately, he killed Fu Zonglong with a single knife first. Even if the body was destroyed and insulted by the bandits at this moment, at least Fu Zonglong would no longer feel pain.

A group of thieves rushed forward and cut off Fu Zonglong's ears and nose one by one. Feeling that they still couldn't let go of their hatred, they swung their knives and slashed at his body several times.

At this moment, the flames on the wall of Xiangcheng South Pass suddenly ignited, and at the same time there was a lot of voices, as if many people and horses had rushed over.

Then, they heard a person yelling on the closed wall: "Fu Du'an is here? You thieves, don't hurt Fu Duan at all, otherwise you will be killed and revenge for Fu Du!"

"Damn, it turns out that Hu Dawei is stationed in the city."

Liu Tichun cursed, but he also knew that with his five hundred cavalry, he really couldn't compete with the Baoding army led by Hu Dawei in the city.

Since he could no longer make money in the city, he was unwilling to continue to write ink here, so he quickly retreated with his army, left Xiangcheng Nanguan, and hurriedly retreated towards the way he came.

…………

Seeing the thieves galloping away on horseback, the servant Lu Sancai rushed out from a hiding place. When the thieves were gaining the city just now, he took advantage of the chaos to escape, but he didn't want to go far, still thinking of looking for an opportunity to kill his master. rescued.

But things developed so fast that before he had time to react, he watched his master be beheaded by a bearded general with a single knife.

At this moment, Lu San came to Fu Zonglong's corpse with tears in his eyes. He first picked up Fu Zonglong's head, then carried his body on his back, and walked towards Nanguan.

Only then did he burst into tears, and the other soldiers of Fu Zonglong also escaped without being beheaded by the bandits, and they also ran back after Lu San.

Seeing that the governor was dead at this time, they couldn't hold back their tears anymore, but they didn't rush to close the door, but ran to find Li Benshi, the general of the standard battalion.

Li Benshi was still fainted on the ground, he hadn't come to his senses, and he was also lying on his deathbed with wounds all over his body. A few soldiers raised his body regardless of life and death, and rushed to close the door, fearing that the thief would return. .

When they ran to the closed door, the closed door was already wide open, and a group of cavalry was galloping out of the closed door.

The general in front was Hu Dawei, the Chief Soldier of the Imperial Guard of the Ming Dynasty. He knew Lu San, and was shocked when he saw a headless corpse on his back. who?"

Although Lu San hated He Renlong, Li Guoqi, Yang Wenyue, Hu Dawei and others for abandoning their master and fleeing first, but he also knew that Hu Dawei was a soldier of Baoding, so naturally he had to obey the military order of the governor.

And this time is not the time to discuss these right and wrong, he cried and choked up: "Hu...Hu Shuai, my master...he..."

Although Hu Dawei had already guessed it in his heart, he was still very shocked to get Lu San's own confirmation at this moment. After all, Fu Zonglong was the governor of the Ming court.

He hurriedly got off his horse, and ordered the soldiers behind him to also get off their horses, and let the middle road out of the way, so that the body of Governor Fu Zonglong could enter the city.

How to arrange Fu Zonglong's funeral here, and how to word it on the table, and report everything that happened here to the court, for the time being.

But when the thieves Liu Tichun and Tong Shoushan led [-] cavalry and rushed back to Huoshaodian, the fighting here had long since ended, and they reported what happened to Li Guo.

Li Guo didn't say much, and praised the two of them for a worthwhile trip. Although they didn't win Xiangcheng, they didn't let Fu Zonglong escape, and even killed him before the battle. This is a very morale boosting thing. .

Afterwards, he told the two of them: "King Chuang came to order us to destroy Fu Zonglong, and immediately dispatched troops as quickly as possible. We still have a big battle to fight."

Liu Tichun was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately asked: "Does King Chuang want to open the seal again?"

Li Guo smiled and said nothing, just said: "You can only know this after seeing King Chuang, you go to have a rest first!"
