8days ago Historical fiction 8
The central army has arrived.A soldier in armor walked to Wang Zhiyuan and said.

How many people?Wang Zhiyuan asked.

one.

Please hurry up.

Wang Zhiyuan's expression suddenly relaxed.

After saying that, he stood up from the bench. This man was tall and thin, and he didn't have the temperament of a martial artist with a tiger back and a bear waist. If he weren't wearing military uniform, he would have looked like the figure of those literati.

But his face doesn't look much affinity, and his facial features are normal, and he even has thick eyebrows and big eyes. However, it may not be very pleasant to the eyes when put together. Perhaps because of the high cheekbones, the muscles have a atrophy and relaxed feeling, and it is a bit asymmetry.

After a while, a commander in red and green clothes entered the main hall, held up a piece of paper in both hands and said: "The Central Army Order, the commander and generals of each battalion went to the Governor's Office to discuss matters."

It's dark, what's going on?Wang Zhiyuan said in a casual tone, did other commanders also pass the order?

The messenger bowed: I don’t know, humble vocation is just a errand.However, Bei Zhi knew that all the commanders had passed the order and several people sent them together in the yamen.

After hearing this, Wang Zhiyuan waved his hand: After leaving the military order, I will change my clothes and arrive later.

The messenger retreated: Yes.

When the person left, a general walked up to close the door.

Another person in the main room frowned and said: Did Zhu Wenbiao notice something?

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man wearing a dark green round-necked official uniform. He was the man in black who came from Zhang Fu's camp a few days ago, but now he has dressed up as an aide.

There are many civilian officials in the army, and low-level officials and staff often wear such clothes.

Wang Zhiyuan said: I have to ask Mr. Zhao this.I won’t miss any news here. Was anyone targeted when you came?

Mr. Zhao recalled the people he had met on the road and said in an uncertain tone: There should be no.

This is not a Hongmen Banquet!A big man interrupted, "Why don't we send someone to another camp first to inquire if we have invited them all."

Mr. Zhao immediately said: No need, it’s useless after inquiring.If the thief leader really noticed it, it would be nothing to ask the king to command and ask the others to come over to hide their intentions.

The few people present were doing trivial movements and fell silent for a while. Wang Zhiyuan patted his palms on the table for a few minutes, pondered for a long time, and said: It’s okay to go to the governor’s yamen to find out what’s going on, it’s just a bit of a risk.The things originally planned to be done in the second half of the night may have to be done in advance... But if Zhu Wenbiao had noticed it, would he have set up a hut to wait for us?

Won't.Except for the senior management, I am the only one in Jiujiang City. I only arrived at General Wang’s camp today. Even if I was noticed, it would not be enough for them to arrange everything in such a short period of time.Unless you have leaked the news long ago?

Mr. Zhao said.

Wang Zhiyuan said: Mr. Zhao is a member of the British Duke. What do you think? I will do as I want to do.

The middle-aged man surnamed Zhao said seriously: When he was ordered by the British Duke, he had already determined to kill himself and become a benevolent. There must be no mistakes in this matter!It’s urgent, I think don’t wait, just do it now!

Wang Zhiyuan stood still and then ordered: Pass my order and bring all his brothers with him.The other soldiers said that after receiving the order of the Central Army, they would be dispatched overnight immediately, so that there must be no mistakes!

The generals clasped their fists and said: Get the order!

The dispatch of troops should be very smooth. Most of the middle-level generals are Wang Zhiyuan's people, and each of them leads his or her soldiers. These people are similar to private soldiers. They only recognize their masters and do not recognize any officials. The general takes them away with an order.

However, other lower-level soldiers did not know whether the military orders were true or not, so they could only rely on the generals to say that when a soldier heard that he wanted to be mobilized, he would still ask whether the superiors would want military orders to see with their own eyes?

Some sporadic scouts had already left the camp to explore the way before assembling the team.

Wang Zhiyuan was preparing to attack Fuqian Street first, which was the street in front of the Jiujiang Prefecture Prefecture's Prefecture Office, where there was an ordnance ammunition depot and a granary.If it goes well, you can destroy two major targets at the beginning.

Countless soldiers walked out of the houses and lined up. Large groups of people had gathered on the streets outside the military camp, and they were in chaos and had not had time to rectify.

Torches were lit everywhere, and the dogs in some corner were also yelling.

Wang Zhiyuan was anxious and unwilling to waste time any longer. He immediately stepped on the horse and led some of his troops to go out in a hurry, leaving behind the confidant who continued to drive away the rest.

They walked along the street to the middle, and turned south at the intersection, and directly penetrated into the middle of Fuqian Street.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the team passed the intersection, they heard the sound of heavy and neat footsteps coming from the deep street. It was the movement that many people would only move when they lined up.

Wang Zhiyuan looked south of the long street, and there was no one on the winding street, but the firelight in the houses in the distance was emitting into the air. With the movement he heard, he couldn't help but feel sank.

Not long after, a few horses appeared in front of each other, and then the light of the torch could be identified that the person on the horse was wearing a wide-edged iron helmet and a gray uniform of the Vermilion Bird Army.

Someone shouted: Which camp are you from? What are you doing?

Wang Zhiyuan responded in desperation: Jiujiang Army’s Northern Camp received an order from the Central Army not long ago, and all won to adjust defense towards the South Gate!What are you doing? Did you go wrong?Don't block the way!

At this time, a large number of infantry soldiers on the opposite side lined up and entered their sight. The current general riding a horse was burly and looked a bit like Zhang Chengzong, the commander of the Third Army.

The burly general shouted: The central army has no order to mobilize troops!You are trying to rebel if you are unfair!He immediately put down his weapons and arrested the person who took the lead, and the rest were not guilty!

Wang Zhiyuan raised a piece of paper and stamped the military order with the governor's seal. The messenger had just left, what were you going to do?

Another person shouted: The superiors can't trust the people from our Han King. I want to get rid of us, damn it!

Bang!

A gun sounded, and then a fire from the Jiujiang Army flashed and a gun was fired.

The few riders in the middle couldn't avoid it, and two people immediately fell off the horse.

Someone shouted in the midst of noisy: Rebellion!

Then there was a burst of noise from the Suzaku Army. Many people raised their muskets, the horses neighed, and a few riders turned around and ran away.

……

The Governor's Yamen is next to the south of Fuqian Street, not far away, and the sound of the guns is heard very clearly.

At the beginning, there were sporadic sounds, but it was crackling in a long time.

The night in this ancient city suddenly became lively.

Zhang Ning heard the gunshots, walked to the door of the lobby and looked at them, but could only see some nearby roofs that could not see anything.

At this moment, people recall the scene during the Chinese New Year, with the sound of firecrackers constantly lingering in the air.

Two rows of soldiers stood in front of the gate of the yamen, waiting for the battle, and they looked so nervous that they looked.

I think the guards are also nervous because everyone can tell that there are no soldiers near the center by guessing.

The Third Army has just been transferred away recently, and Li Zhen’s two general flags of the Guard have all dispatched to capture spies. In addition to these dozens of people holding muskets, there is a small team of soldiers outside the wing door, and the others are some messengers and clerks.

At this moment, a person outside the gate shouted: My own!Be careful not to point that thing at me.

A soldier walked into the gate of the governor's headquarters and soon saw Zhang Ning standing outside the lobby. He then stepped forward to report: The troops of King Zhiyuan of Beiying rebelled and fought with the Third Army on the crossroad north of Fuqian Street. The rebels couldn't help but fight and retreated north in a short while.Another group of troops from the Third Army advanced from the streets to the east, and it should be the enemy now.

What are the movements of other major camps of Jiujiang Army?Zhang Ning asked.

The military officer said: I don’t know. I will report back to General Zhang later and ask General Zhang to send someone to ask?

Zhang Ning raised his hand and waved it, and the soldier clasped his fists and said: Yes.

After a while, Xin Weibing and two other young men walked in quickly.

Xin Wei walked to Zhang Ning and whispered: I took more than thirty people, but the other people who ran away were not enough to catch them.General Li's men first took the spy to the prison of the prefect's office and locked up. Don't worry, they were shackles and kept the people and couldn't escape.

Zhang Ning said: After the retrial is over tonight, if you don’t confess, don’t kill me. I will keep it for Wuchang to interrogate in detail... You have made great contributions. If it weren’t for the people from the Eunuchs and the Provincial People’s Court to discover the whereabouts of the spy, we would be in the dark and not prepared enough, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Xin Wei smiled slightly: It’s all a matter of duty.

There were three military generals in the wing room on the east side outside the lobby, and there were soldiers guarding the door. They had no intention of breaking out, but they were just sitting on the chairs very quietly.

A big man listened to the gunshot with a very conspicuous look. His eyes were looking at the roof, his ears were tilted, and he was listening attentively.

Wang Zhiyuan's people.

Another said something, and it took me a long time to say this.

Everyone didn't know how he decided, but when they thought it was Wang Zhiyuan, because of the four major camps of Jiujiang Army, Wang Zhiyuan did not come.

No one took the call and said the room became quiet again.

All three of them were worried. They didn’t know what was going on. Is it Wang Zhiyuan’s rebellion?

Or did the Suzaku Army defeat them one by one in a premeditated manner and deal with them one by one?

After a while, someone rode a horse outside the governor's headquarters.

The person who came was a very young general. This man was the personal leader of the commander Zhang Chengzong and his relative, and he often followed Zhang Chengzong's butt.

So Zhang Ning also knew him, but he had never asked what his name was.

The young general came forward to report: Prince, the last general came to report on the order of Commander Zhang.Wang Zhiyuan was finished. These people surrendered without any effort.A small group of people ran to the northwest, General Wu had divided his troops to intercept him, and Zhang commanded all the troops to encircle him.Except for the King Zhiyuan of the Northern Camp, the other three battalions did not move. It was reported that those people were unprepared, and only some people ran to the streets in a mess and listened to the sound of guns.

Zhang Ning breathed a sigh of relief at this time.By the third update, someone finally came to report that Wang Zhiyuan's troops suffered heavy casualties and surrendered with the rest.
