Chapter 36 Precursor

On the opposite side of the pier where Tang Kuo fought together, in the corridor under the city wall, Yang An'er was riding his horse slowly.

There were hundreds of cavalry following behind him, and their iron hooves pounded the dirt road intensively, sending out bursts of roar, which was soul-stirring.

The dirt road was firmly rammed, and stone slabs were laid on the edges. The stone slabs were very neat, and there were traces of careful filling in the damaged places.On the side of the corridor, the houses in the city are more decent than ordinary small county towns. The local residents in the streets and alleys do not seem to be rich, but they can always live on.

As for the desolation and depression outside the city, it is the general situation of corruption, natural disasters and man-made disasters, which have nothing to do with the governance of a place.In such a world, it is really not easy for a small county to do this.

This is neither the merit of Tang Kuo's joint fight or Yang An'er, nor the merit of the local county magistrate, but Zhang Rou.This Dingxing County is where Zhang Rou's ancestors lived. Although Zhang Rou himself led the party to protect himself in Dongliu Village in the Yizhou Mountains, selected strong men, and formed a team to defend himself, but left his tribe in Dingxing County, not only a little repair. The bridge makes up the road, and the group of thieves dare not commit crimes.

After Tiewa Ganzhan Army stationed in Dingxing County, Zhang Rou had dealt with Yang An'er politely several times through Jing'an people's relationship.

Yang An'er's department has been stationed in Dingxing County for more than a year, and has been very cautious and low-key.

First of all, Yang An'er herself is a powerful man in Shandong, and she knows very well the potential of such local magnates at a time when the imperial court is weak.It's so easy to raise your arms and call out the crowd.

Although Yang An'er considers herself a mighty dragon, she doesn't want to be an enemy of these local snakes.It would not be beneficial to the anti-golden cause if he squandered the trusted power he had accumulated over the years in Hebei.

Secondly, Zhuozhou is adjacent to Daxing Mansion, the capital of central China, and it controls the danger of the Western Mountains. According to the situation in the upper reaches, it has been known as the best in shape in Hebei since ancient times, and it is a place of great concern to all parties.No matter how weak the imperial court is, in Zhongdu and Jinshan Prefecture, there are still guards, escorts, military guards, Weijie troops, and even soldiers from subordinate tribes. The total number is more than [-]?

Although Yang An'er's troops are elite, they are far from enough to fight against the imperial army.If you want to do great things, you have to lurk your minions and wait for a suitable opportunity.

The opportunity is here.

At the local level, due to the deliberate friendship with Miao Daorun, Zhang Rou, Jing Anmin and others before, although these people dare not participate in large-scale activities, they will not become obstacles.The day before yesterday, Jing Anmin deliberately led five hundred soldiers from his headquarters to leave Dafang Mountain where he had occupied for a long time, and went to Yizhou Lang Village, clearly showing their intention to do whatever they want.

Among them, I have to thank Zhang Rou for her understanding.A few days ago, some local clans closely related to Zhang Rou had already found a reason to go out.Seeing that they were interested, Yang An'er didn't stop them.

Tang Kuo beat this guy together, and when he arrived in Dingxing County, he unscrupulously exploited Kuo's land, which aroused the dissatisfaction of many people in the local area. Presumably, Zhang Rou was also very happy to see Yang An'er vent his anger on him.

In terms of the imperial court's military deployment, there also happens to be a gap right now.

In recent months, the Mongols have frequently traveled in and out of the south of Xuande Prefecture, apparently preparing for the next major invasion.Jinshan Defense Envoy and Marshal Quan Youdu Jianshu Hu Gaoqi repeatedly warned the court.

Just ten days ago, the imperial court dispatched Shuhu Gaoqi's old boss, the famous general Wanyan Gang, to Jinshan to save trouble in the capacity of Shangshu Zuocheng.Many soldiers and horses in Zhongdu are continuously dispatched to Jinshan and brought into Wanyan Gang's command, while the troops transferred to Zhongdu from other places are still on the road.

This way, the Jin army in the direction of the central capital need not worry for the time being.

What is particularly satisfying is that in the direction of Shandong, the old enemy Wan Yan Chenghui is now in any idle position in the capital.Wanyan Sala, who succeeded him as the commander of the Shandong Army, also received an order from the court at this time to gather [-] troops for a limited period and head to the central capital.

Yang An'er and his companions calculated carefully, if all goes well, when their side invades Shandong, Wanyan Sala's troops will go to Zhongdu instead.In this way, whether one's own side criticizes bullying, or calmly gathers the crowd, it can do a job with ease.

As for the Jin Army in the south of Zhongdu Road and even the two roads in Hebei... don't worry.They were already weak, and the weaker they were, the more they could only focus on what was in front of them.Guo Ning's men, who had previously fought against Yang An'er in Guchengdian, are now constantly recruiting troops to expand their strength. They are the suspicious people who are closely watched by the officials of Jiezhen, Fangzhou and Cizhou!
Is there any oversight?Any unexpected surprises?

Yang An'er took the reins and thought about it again slowly.

No more, it's all arranged.

He took the reins, looked at Li Siwen riding the horse behind him, and then at Guo Yaoer: "Then let's start!"

Yang An'er gave a soft command, and a majestic and murderous aura was born.

The soldiers following him were all warriors of tigers and wolves. Hearing this, they shouted in unison and drew their swords at the same time.Hundreds of pacers rushed out separately.

Earlier, Tang Kuo sent two attendants to Yang An'er to urge him.After the two came, seeing the attitude of everyone with swords and guns staring at each other, they had long felt that something was wrong, but they were coerced by the soldiers and had to follow.

At this time, the cold light flashed, the murderous aura rose sharply, the faces of the two attendants were pale, and it was as if many bells, drums, and cymbals were beating together in their minds, shaking their minds dizzily and trembling all over.

Yang An'er wants to rebel?This guy, it really is the opposite!Those rumors turned out to be true!

One of the attendants was Tang Kuo's favorite personal man, and he had the status of a draw-in officer.He was flattered by Yang An'er in daily life, invited him to drink several times and gave him many gifts.Now, relying on his old friendship, he boldly said:

"Yang Dutong! You betrayed the imperial court and committed a heinous crime. Fortunately, the imperial court forgave you, issued an edict to appoint an official, and rewarded you generously. What are you not satisfied with? My master Tang Kuo is a high-ranking nobleman in the court. , Seeing that there is an opportunity to manage the military affairs of the states, when the time comes, Yang Du will lead a Jiedu envoy, and the Yongding Army, Yongtai Army, and Shuntian Army will not be a problem... Get on the horse to manage the army, and dismount to manage the people. Wouldn't it be..."

Li Siwen sneered again and again.

The attendant quickly said: "This is the meaning of my family's Dutong! My family's Dutong ordered me to invite Yang Dutong just to discuss this matter and to support Yang Dutong!"

A pig-dog-like waste, full of nonsense.What can you help me with?Still seal the official to make a wish?Yang An'er waved his hand in displeasure, the soldiers went up and swung their knives and chopped the two men into seven or eight pieces, blood stained a large area of ​​the road red.

At this time, among the hundreds of cavalry under Yang An'er's subordinates, except for one, they stayed by Yang An'er's side.Others either ran to control the city gate, or rushed to the top of the city.

The prison guards in Dingxing County were in charge of guarding the city gates, that is, an army composed of prisoners.How do these people stand up to the soldiers?After killing less than two or three back and forth, they knelt down and surrendered.Many people were drunk by the soldiers, and they heard that they could kill, set fire, drink and eat meat immediately.

In an instant, the city gate changed hands.The troops of the Tiewa Ganzhan Army brigade originally stationed at the city gate sneaked here at some point and rushed into the city.

The people and horsemen who entered the city were separated.

Liu Quan led the way to the barracks of the local soldiers in the city, Li Siwen led the way to attack the county government and granaries, and Yang You led the others to rush straight to Tang Kuo's luxurious mansion in the city.

These soldiers are all old thieves and masters of rebellion, they set fire wherever they went without Yang An'er's orders.

Smoke and dust rose everywhere, the sound of killing was like thunder, the house was lit with torches, and the sword was wiped across the throat.The barracks were loose and broke down immediately.The local soldiers surrounded the inspectors and went out in panic. As soon as the inspectors showed their heads, they were hacked and killed by the soldiers of the Tiewa Army who were like wolves and tigers. confusion.

The county magistrate and county lieutenant hurried out to have a look. Before they could go out, they saw swords, lights and swords approaching step by step outside the yamen.

The two officials ran wildly towards the backyard. After running for a few steps, they turned their heads to look at the other side.In their sight, thick smoke billowed and flames blazed into the sky. It was the deep house compound where Tang Kuo fought together and something happened.

The city was originally not big, with thousands of soldiers and soldiers, it was turned upside down in an instant.

The sound of killing everywhere caused panic among Tang Kuo's subordinates.When more than a dozen people were covered with blood, they ran up the city wall along the horse path to report that Yang An'er had rebelled, and Tang Kuo beat him so cold that his whole body was cold.

Looking back, dozens of rebels with sharp swords and guns came after them!The swishing arrows have already shot towards the pier!
This fellow Yang An'er!I treat him well!Last time he failed to win Changzhou Guo Ning, I didn't blame him, I only asked him for a gold buckle and jade belt as compensation!In the end, he was just like this... This guy even needs to take care of him in advance, let me take a step first?
Tang Kuohe stretched out his trembling hands, trying to support his body, but he tried twice in a row, but felt that all the bones in his body were frozen into stone, and he couldn't struggle no matter what.He tried his best to urge himself to find a way, but his mind was in chaos, as if the strings of a piano were broken, and there was no connection.

In a daze, he saw the grain shooting troops around the pier fleeing one after another; he saw several heavy armored warriors he brought out from among them, fighting under the pier with mace, hammer and other weapons, but they were attacked by a group of soldiers. A young samurai with a spear was easily defeated.

He saw the young samurai pointing his spear, and then many people surrounded him with grinning grinning. The swords they held up high reflected the sunlight, which was very dazzling.

At this time, Guo Ning was talking with Monk Luo and Li Ting in the Gucheng store in the southwest of Dingxing County, when he suddenly stopped talking and cast his dark eyes out of the window.

"Okay! Let's do it! Let's do it!" Li Ting got up and walked out. His movements were so big that he almost overturned the tables and chairs.Monk Luo patted his head and let out a heavy "hey".

In the northwest of Dingxing County and the southeast of Yi County, at the former site of the Jintai built by King Yanzhao, there was a group of soldiers in military uniforms and armed with spears.On the golden platform, Jing Anmin stood on one side, in the middle was a middle-aged man of about forty years old with slender eyes and long beard, and on the other side was a heroic young man.

The three of them stared at the thick smoke rising from Dingxing County, and remained silent for a long time.

A little further away, tens of miles away from Dingxing County, north of Fanyang County, and close to the border of Daxing Mansion in the central capital, there is a military camp.

The barracks are simple and loose, and seem to have been set up temporarily. Many tents are only made of intertwined branches and then covered with felt.But the airs of the soldiers in the army are all fierce and fierce, and there are many horses in the army.

At the gate of the Chinese Army, Guo Ning's old friend, Han Renqing, an old soldier, was kneeling and resting his forehead on the ground.

He was dusty and dusty, his body was covered in mud, and because he had been kneeling for a long time, he was extremely exhausted, and his body began to tremble.

Seeing that he was about to lose his hold, a soldier came out of the tent of the Chinese army with clanging footsteps, and shouted in a deep voice, "The marshal let you in!"
