Poor Family Chapter 1025

Chapter 1025 Bianliang mutiny

In a large tent in the Northern Army Camp, two commanders were discussing in low voices about surrendering. They were a pair of brothers, the elder was called Cheng Yan, the younger was called Cheng Mo, and each commanded a thousand soldiers.

The two brothers will not betray each other, and will quickly reach a consensus. The two reached an agreement in a short period of time and surrendered to the Song Army.

So as the saying goes, fighting tigers depends on brothers, and fighting tigers depends on father and son soldiers. This is the truth.

It's just that they are very worried. There must be many generals planning to surrender like their own, so how can their brothers surrender first and get the reward of the first-level commander.

"Time is running out, we must act tonight."

Cheng Yan said without hesitation: "I believe there will be others who will act tonight. We must be the first. I mean act immediately!"

"Brother, do you mean that we mutiny?" Cheng Mo asked tentatively.

Cheng Yan nodded, "Our brothers have two thousand people, as long as we fight to the end and our two brothers fight out, then we have won. As for the life and death of others, we can't control so much."

"But you have to sacrifice the city!"

"Then directly seize the North City and set fire to the North City Tower. I believe that the Song Army has deployed outside."

Cheng Mo was more cautious. He thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's time for the third watch! It happens to be the changing of the guard at that time, so we pretended to be changing the guard and snatched the North City Gate."

Cheng Yan counted the time, and it was less than a quarter of an hour before the third watch, and it was time to set off after waking up the soldiers. He nodded, "Let's go and wake up the soldiers immediately, and set off early!"

The time for the third watch was getting closer and closer, and the guards began to change at the top of the city. Many posts were empty. Fan Qiong kept sending people to fill them up, but the escape continued. By the time of the third watch, there were already 3,000 soldiers fleeing.

On the street leading to Jinglongmen, a group of 2,000 soldiers were running in formation. They ran across the state bridge and headed for the city gate one mile away. There came the sound of shouting and killing.

The Cheng brothers glanced at each other, and their expressions suddenly changed. It was obvious that someone had mutinied ahead of them.

The two of them shouted anxiously: "Speed up and run to the city gate!"

Two thousand soldiers speeded up and ran towards Jinglongmen.

It was also a coincidence that the deputy general Fan Qiong was patrolling Jinglongmen at this time. Fan Qiong knew that he would not be accepted by the Song army and he would die, so he formed a tacit understanding with Liu Yu and waited for the Jin soldiers to come to rescue.

Fan Qiong also heard the shouts of killing from the direction of the old Caomen. He hurried down from the top of the city, just in time to meet the Cheng brothers.

Fan Qiong was taken aback, and asked sharply, "What are you doing here?"

Cheng Yan took a step forward, "We are ordered to change defense!"

His hand made a movement behind, Cheng Mo immediately understood, and with the help of his brother's cover, he copied a divine arm crossbow into his hand.

Fan Qiong frowned, "You are not on duty tonight, you are on duty tomorrow during the day, hurry back to the barracks!"

"The prince asked us to come, the general can ask the prince if you don't believe me!"

Cheng Yan pointed to the left, as if the prince Liu Yu was on the left, Fan Qiong was really fooled, he turned his head and looked to the left, Cheng Yan almost dodged at the same time, at this moment, Cheng Mo who was hiding behind raised his magic arm crossbow, Fan Qiong, who was about ten steps away, was shot by an arrow. Fan Qiong suddenly understood that he had been fooled, but it was too late. He only felt a pain in his chest.

Fan Qiong screamed and fell to the ground. The soldiers behind him were taken aback and hurried forward to help. Cheng Yan roared and swung his gun to kill him.

Cheng Mo also yelled, "Brothers, offer the city to exonerate, kill me!"

All the soldiers understood, they shouted after the Cheng brothers, and charged forward together.

Cheng Yan killed more than a dozen soldiers in a row, and scattered Fan Qiong's soldiers. He pierced Fan Qiong's back with a backhand shot. Fan Qiong, who was seriously injured, had a broken heart and was killed immediately. Take the head and pass it to Cheng Yan.

Cheng Yan raised the head and shouted: "Fan Qiong is dead, here is the head!"

The soldiers on the top of the city turned their backs one after another, followed Cheng Mo to lower the suspension bridge, and opened the city gate. At this moment, the Jinglong Tower was set on fire, and the fire quickly ignited.

Cao Meng, who was stationed near the North City Gate, led 3,000 troops to the North City Gate. At this time, Cheng Yan rushed out and bowed: "The humble job is Yun Cong's Second Army Commander Cheng Yan, who rebelled with his brother Cheng Mo, please general Lead the army into the city!"

Cao Meng pointed to the head in his hand and asked, "Whose head is it?"

"This is the head of Deputy Commander Fan Qiong, who has been killed by the humble officer!"

He handed over the head, and a soldier who knew Fan Qiong stepped forward to check, and nodded to Cao Meng, "It's Fan Qiong!"

Cao Meng was overjoyed, and he quickly sent someone to deliver a letter to Wang Gui and the commander-in-chief. He himself led 3,000 people to enter the gate of Jinglong City. Soon, the city gate fell into the hands of Song Jun, and Wang Gui also led a Ten thousand troops came to kill.

At this time, the old Caomen was also broken by mutinous soldiers, and Yue Fei led his army into the old Caomen.

As Jinglongmen and Old Caomen were surrendered by the generals in the city, one hundred thousand Song troops entered Bianliang City.

Cao Meng, under the leadership of the Cheng brothers, led 5,000 people to capture the old palace and kill the palace.

The palace is the original Yanfu Palace. There were originally two thousand guards guarding it. Seeing that the situation was over, these guards took off their armor and fled. The Song army quickly surrounded the palace. There was a raging fire, dry firewood, sulfur and other things were piled up around the Star Picking Building, and the kerosene poured through the first floor, making the fire burn extremely fast. Soon, the fire engulfed the entire Star Picking Building, and there was a lot of crying inside.

Liu Yu took his wife, concubine and children and set fire to himself. All 23 members of his family died in the fire.

Li Yanqing did not break his promise, and immediately named Cheng Yan, who was the first to leave the city and surrendered, as the first-level commander of the Song Dynasty, and his younger brother Cheng Mo and Zhang Yu, the general who offered the old Caomen, as the second-level commander. The generals who surrendered were spared the death penalty and let them go home, while the 20,000 Yuncong army was handed over to Cao Meng, who was in charge of the reorganization and was incorporated into the Longxiang Army.

Li Yanqing also found that the quality of Yun Congjun is really good. The soldiers are generally young and strong, and well-trained. After reorganization and education, their morale and morale will be raised, and they will become an elite army.

In the morning of the next day, after Song Jun withdrew from Bianliang City early in the morning, he held a grand entry ceremony. Li Yanqing personally led an army of 100,000 troops to enter Bianliang City, including Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi and other generals who also participated in the entry ceremony. .

The Song Army's entry ceremony made the entire Bianliang City boil, almost all the people went to the street, and many trembling old people were also supported by their children to welcome the Song Army into the city.

Both sides of the Royal Street were crowded with black and dense crowds, and hundreds of thousands of Bianliang people came. When the first row of Song soldiers holding banners walked in from the Zhuque Gate, the whole city was boiling, and the people hissed and shouted. Cheers, everyone's eyes filled with tears, Jin soldiers occupied Bianjing for several years, they suffered the humiliation of being alien slaves, only then did they feel that they had returned to their homeland.

Tears also flowed from the eyes of every general, especially Yue Fei, when he evacuated Bianliang in humiliation, at this moment, when he finally re-entered Bianliang City, his face was already full of tears, and many soldiers behind him covered their faces and wept bitterly. And joy intertwined in everyone's heart.

The climax was when Li Yanqing entered the city. When he waved to hundreds of thousands of people, cheers resounded through the sky.

"Hooray! Hooray!"

People shouted from the heart, "Long live His Royal Highness the Regent!"

At this time, more than a dozen white-haired old men knelt down in front of him. Li Yanqing hurriedly got off his horse and helped them up. An old man held his hand tightly and said, "Your Highness, this is the third time Xiaomin I kneel down to you, don't abandon us, don't abandon the people of Bianliang again!"

Li Yanqing moved his hands full of age spots and said: "Unless Jin Bing steps over my body, I will never let them enter Bianliang again!"

More than a dozen old men knelt down again and burst into tears.

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"

I don't know who shouted this sentence first, the entire Bianliang people were infected, they raised their arms and shouted, "Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Long live!"

Li Yanqing did not stop them, and his tears flowed down. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the past when he led the army to defend Bianliang and fought fiercely with the Jin soldiers. The battles of blood and fire were frozen into pictures Tragic images flowed through his mind.

Li Yanqing remounted his horse and waved to hundreds of thousands of people. At this moment, his heart suddenly became extremely broad.
