The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 609
The cold wind blows at night, bringing a little bit of chill. This night looks a bit unusual. At this time, the gate of Lizhou City is as peaceful as usual.

Although the soldiers guarding the door were still vigilant, they had to know that standing guard here was a very boring thing, and these few people started to stand aside and chat.

"Brothers, tell me where Master Yang has gone, and why is he not in the city? I heard that the person he left behind is also gone now?" Soldier A asked curiously.

"No way, it's unlikely, so it's not like we don't have a command. If the Song army comes, we will be finished." Soldier B didn't know how to know this.

"Don't talk about the two of you. In case people hear how bad it is, be careful and get hit by a board. Doesn't your butt hurt?" Soldier C looked like he was often beaten with a military stick before, otherwise he couldn't be like this Be careful!

While they were talking nonsense, they heard a burst of noise, which made them all vigilant.

There was a sound of orderly footsteps, and hearing the sound of orderly footsteps, they let go of their suspense. They thought it was something big, but it turned out to be their own people.

Because there are patrols at night, in this city, but isn't the Song army occupying Sanjiangkou recently, so there are also patrolling soldiers outside Lizhou city.

Listening to this neat pace, one should know that this is a patrol force outside the city, otherwise, who would dare to walk around here with so many people.

Song Jun?It's impossible that they are still in Sanjiangkou now, and they can't get over the Lishui River. Would you let them swim over in this cold weather?

But then a strange thing happened, these patrolling soldiers stopped at this moment to patrol and came towards them.

According to their rules in the past, they went from here to the outer city. What happened today? This is a bit abnormal!

At this time, the soldier guarding the gate looked up, and it turned out to be General Zhang Chongfu. He was stationed in Lishui, why did he come back?
"See General Zhang!" Gatekeeper A quickly reacted and saluted.

"No courtesy, brothers have worked hard." Zhang Chongfu said with a smile on his face, which made Soldier A puzzled. This guy used to think that everyone owed him how much money.

"It's not hard, it's all our responsibility, I don't know General Zhang, why are you bringing so many people here?" Zhang Chongfu didn't bring people on patrol, it looked like there were thousands of people!

"Oh, you see, I forgot. I was ordered to garrison Lishui, and today is just the turn of shift. Master Yang told me to reward some brothers on his behalf when I come back today. You see."

Zhang Chongfu moved away, and a large cart was exposed from behind. It was covered with fine wine, and the aroma could be smelled even before the altar was opened.

The soldiers were slightly taken aback, no one could figure out which song was being sung today, is it possible to drink here?
"General Zhang, this is against the rules. Do you want to enter the city? You also know that you need a warrant from Mr. Yang to enter the city so late. You? Me?"

The meaning of soldier [-] is obvious. You didn't want to enter the city by inviting us to drink, but it's against the rules so late.

If there is no order or anything like that, if we let you in, we will be the ones who suffer in the end!

Hearing this, Zhang Chongfu patted his forehead, and quickly took out something similar to a memorial from his arms and handed it to Soldier A in a daze.

"Brother, I'm sorry, I forgot for a while, show me this is Master Yang's warrant."

After receiving the warrant, the few of them really looked at it seriously. It was indeed exactly what Zhang Chongfu said word for word, and Zhang Chongfu was also asked to take over the city defense.

That is to say, from now on, Chongfu is at the level of the city defense commander, and he is the direct superior of these people.

Soldier A smiled and said: "General, please forgive me. The younger ones also follow the rules. By the way, I didn't expect the general to take over us so soon. It is our honor to follow the general."

Zhang Chongfu patted him on the shoulder without saying anything, and said with a smile:
"I just like people like you. That's right. You have a future. Follow me in the future. If you're right, you must know what I'm here for. Open the city gate and I'll go in."

Zhang Chongfu is now justifiable, the commander of the city defense let the door open, you can still not open it, aren't you courting death?

"Of course, brother upstairs, open the city gate, General Zhang Chongfu is here to take over the rice, open the gate quickly."

His shouting was not loud at that time, but it was heard by the people above, and the door slowly opened.

Zhang Chongfu didn't say anything, he just walked in, and the soldiers behind him rushed up the city wall.

The people who greeted Zhang Chongfu at the gate of the city just now were unconsciously knocked out and splashed some wine on their bodies, as if they were drunk.

Then they were thrown at the gate of the city. Of course, the gate of the city was replaced by people brought by Zhang Chongfu.

"Zhang Chongfu was ordered to take over the city defense. Brothers have worked hard. Let's all go back to rest tonight. By the way, there are drinks to reward you here. Let me offer you a toast."

Zhang Chongfu said that I directly grabbed a jar full of good wine:

"Brothers, it's not easy here in this cold weather. This is the first time this general has come here, so let the people I brought to watch the night for you. You all go back. Everyone can share a jar of wine. The day after tomorrow we will be here." Come on duty, but don't let others know that you are a soldier, otherwise Lord Yang won't kill me, hahaha!"

No one wants to stand here in the cold, and besides, no one can bear to stand here. Everyone knows what Zhang Chongfu means and understands.

By the way, Zhang Chongfu drank a glass of wine and was about to leave, but their feet didn't listen and they fell headlong.

Zhang Chongfu was about to order these people to be killed, but was stopped by the neighbor:
"Does it take me so much trouble to kill these people? These people will be the people of my Song Dynasty in the future. It's better to do less evil. You quickly control the city gate and then occupy an important position in the city. Lizhou The General’s Mansion has already been occupied, there are only a few small officials there, and this city already belongs to the Song Dynasty.”

This person was Zhao Xu. Su Yiwei, who was lurking in the city just now, reported that there was no one in the general's mansion, and he did not see any important people.

Zhao Xu doubted it, but he still had people start to control Lizhou, and ordered Li Chugeng and Hu Yanzan from Sanjiangkou to come here.

He was worried that his thousands of people would not be able to hold the city of Lizhou, but he didn't know why there were so few soldiers in the city of Lizhou until later, and how he could occupy the city so easily.

But at that time, the matter of Wuping was over, and now he was thinking about how to control Lizhou City as soon as possible!
