Chapter 282 Who will win the destiny? (45)

At midnight, the wind stopped and the rain stopped, and Daliang City fell completely asleep in the coolness.

The six water gates in the city were completely opened, and the Xuanjiao ships of the Bian River Navy drove into the city one after another. The soldiers on the Xuanjiao ship were all armed on the side of the ship. The trenchers on the bow were piled with round stones, and the crossbow on the side of the ship was also ready for the battle.

The Xuanjiao boat rowed through the river channel in Daliang City and made a "wow, wow" sound, which spread far in the middle of the night. There are four river channels including Jinshui River, Cai River, Wuzhang River, and Bian River in Daliang City. These four rivers are connected to each other through moats. After two years of renovation, medium-sized ships such as Xuanjiao boat can pass through the city. Except for the Jinshui River, all three rivers shoulder the heavy responsibility of transporting grain. Therefore, cargo ships have passed through this river for a long time. Although there are not many cases of passing the fleet late at night, it is not rare. Especially the official grain transport ships will occasionally sail into the city late at night.

An old man who got up at night was at the edge of the Cai River. He pushed open the back door and faced the river directly. He was old man who had a lot of urine, so he left the back door after getting up at night. When he was "shush, shit" to the river, there were suddenly big ships on the black river. Although he couldn't see the clear situation on the ship clearly in the dark night, the old man who had been by the river for a long time immediately recognized it as the warship. He seemed to feel the chill and murderous aura emitted from the warship, and watched the warships pass by in a daze.

The lady in the room saw that the old man hadn't come back for a long time, so she came out to look for someone with an oil lamp. As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw the old man coming back. The lady asked with concern: "Why are you feeling uncomfortable for so long?" The old man said: "There were many warships in the river just now." The lady still didn't believe it and whispered: "It must be a dazzling look. At this time, it was at most the official grain transport ship. Where did the warships come from? Go to bed quickly." She reached out to hold the old man, but touched the old man's thighs. She felt that there was some wetness on the tentacles, so she said angrily: "Old man, why have wet my clothes again?"

"I don't blame you. The weather is cold and I'm afraid of getting sick. I'll find you a clean replacement."

Just as the navy was moving into the city, Zhou Qing led the first battalion of the Left Xiang Army to rush towards the prime minister Fan Zhi's mansion at full speed. Feiying Hall sent ten familiar experts to follow Zhou Qing's action. The first battalion of the Left Xiang Army was all sergeants in the Black Eagle Army Lion Camp. They all brought long swords for close combat and powerful weapons for street fighting that could be launched continuously - the "Five Tiger General Crossbow".

At this time, the imperial guards in Daliang City were mainly composed of four divisions:

First, the Hu Jie Army controlled by Xiang Xun, and now Zhao Kuangyin has become the commander of the Hu Jie Army.

Second, the Bian River naval commanded by Shi Ying. Most of the main forces of the navy were in the water camps outside the city, and they were not all concentrated in the city.

Third, the Longwei Army that had recently entered the city, the Longwei Army was only 10,000 troops, and was temporarily composed of the Black Eagle Army and the Fengzhou Army.

Fourth, the Iron Cavalry Army was recuperating in the city. When the Iron Cavalry Army attacked Youzhou, the loss was huge and it added many Qingzhou soldiers. The Iron Cavalry Army commander was Zhao Kuangyin. In the past three months, Fan Zhi and Hou Dayong had confronted him several times. His commander changed several times. The new Iron Cavalry Commander was the veteran general Wu Xingde, but he was still far away in the Huaihe River. He had not yet arrived at the office. Therefore, the Iron Cavalry Army was actually divided into two sides of the left and right sides of the left and right sides of the left and right sides of the left and right sides of the commander of the Heiyu Army, and the commander of the right sides of the right side of the palace was Murong Yanzhao. Two troops were stationed in the left and right sides of the East City respectively.

It turned out that the Crane Control Army in the Imperial Army was led by Han Tong and had become the main force guarding Youzhou.

The Long Jie Army was led by Yuan Yan to guard Cangzhou.

The Yulin Army was led by commander Han Lingkun, and went north to Zezhou three months ago, one after another with Zhang Yongde, cutting off the route of the Northern Han army to the south.

The main force of the three imperial guards of the Chuanghe Army, Long Jie Army and Yulin Army, totaling more than 60,000 people. When the Great Zhou Army captured Youzhou, Hou Dayong proposed a plan to deploy troops in Youzhou in a series. Fan Zhi and several other cabinet masters did not object to consider the military strength of the Khitan army. After the Northern Expedition, Zhao Kuangyin led his army to tug-of-war with the main force of the Khitan army. He knew very well that the Khitan cavalry had experienced the consequences. As a Privy Councilor, he had no objection to such a reasonable plan to strengthen border defense.

Fan Zhi wanted to be transferred back to the North to the Imperial Army. It was too late.

Zhou Qing led people to approach the Fan Mansion, and suddenly a patrol team appeared on the street. This patrol team was the Hu Jie Army's patrol team. The Hu Jie Army drew 300 troops and divided them into three patrol teams, patrolling around Fan Zhi continuously.

This patrol team is led by an old man. The reason why the old man is old is that he is old, and on the other hand, he is experienced, cunning and tight.

When the drizzle stopped, they slowly moved out. Before they could turn the corner, they heard neat footsteps coming towards Fan Zhi. Lao Du hurriedly turned out of the corner and saw a group of black people, holding long swords and pounced towards Fan Mansion.

Zhou Qing also saw these patrol sergeants. He didn't see these patrol sergeants at all. He kept his pace and rhythm and rushed towards the patrol sergeants. Lao Du had just pulled out half of his waist knife, but he was found that something was wrong, so he didn't dare to draw the knife straight. He stood on the street and shouted: "I am the Hujie Army Patrol Team, who are you?"

Zhou Qing is a veteran of the Lion Camp and has a very rich battlefield experience. His mission is to kill Fan Zhi. He doesn't have to worry about the rest. Seeing this group of patrol teams blocking the front, he cursed, "Get out of here, don't block me." While cursing, he rushed forward. Ten Feiying Hall soldiers followed Zhou Qing to run at the front of the team. The Feiying Hall soldiers who led the way had already arrived at Lao Du's side. He reached out and pushed Lao Du's head, and also cursed, "Get out of here."

Lao Du and his patrolmen were all squeezed to the wall, watching thousands of soldiers running past them, and these rushing soldiers didn't even look at them.

When the Black Eagle Army ran away, Lao Du reached out to wipe his sweat, and looked at the crowd running away with a silly look at the crowd. His subordinates beside him were talking, "Who are they? Why are they so arrogant?" "What are they doing?"

Lao Dutou murmured: "Murderous aura, they all have murderous aura on them. It seems that something big will happen tonight."

He immediately stopped patrol, left two people to follow the large army, and then turned around and ran towards the barracks.

Zhou Qing was mostly veterans of the Lion Camp. After successfully reaching Fanzhi Gate, he quickly surrounded the Fan Mansion, and countless rope ladders were thrown towards the Fan Mansion wall.

Fan Zhi is the prime minister and usually has dozens of guards in the courtyard. During this period, he has issued several secret orders to transfer a group of imperial guards to the south. Because of this, he prevented problems from Mo Ran and transferred a hundred imperial guards to his mansion.

When the Black Eagle Army soldier appeared outside the wall, the two big dogs in the Fan Mansion suddenly became wild and roared desperately. Fan Zhi woke up from his sleep. He didn't sleep well and went to bed very late. At this time, he was awakened by the barking of the dog and said angrily: "What's going on?"

Before he finished speaking, countless screams came from the yard.

Fan Zhi walked out of the door in his clothes, and the butler rushed into the inner courtyard with several close-fitting guards. He said angrily: "The big thing is not good, and many thieves have flipped into the yard, and we can't resist it."

Dare to publicly attack the Prime Minister's Office, which is not what ordinary thieves do. Fan Zhi knew very well what happened. He looked pale and gritted his teeth and said, "Hou Dayong, you dare to take the blame for the world and murder the Minister of the Responsible."

At this moment, more than twenty soldiers retreated into the courtyard, and they desperately fought against the gate of the inner courtyard.

Fan Zhi went back to the house to remove the long sword hanging on the corner of the house. When he was young, he often danced his sword. He hadn't touched the long sword that had been following him for a long time. He drew out the long sword, hesitated for a moment, and ordered: "Take all the tables in the house and hold the door."

There was a dull sound of knocking on the door outside the house. Although Fan Zhi tried his best to keep calm, his teeth shook unscrupulously. The butler overlapped several tables, placed them on the back wall, and pulled Fan Zhi and said, "There are too many thieves, hurry up and flipped away from the wall."

As soon as Fan Zhi stepped on the table, figures and torches had appeared on the wall of the inner courtyard. The Black Eagle Army soldiers squatted on the wall and used the crossbow of the Five Tiger Generals to fire at the people in the courtyard.

Fan Zhi was about to step onto the wall with one foot when he saw several crossbow arrows nailed to the wall. Then severe pain continued to come from his back. He softened his whole body and fell straight down, lying side by side with the butler on the ground.

Fan Zhi lay on the ground, watching the dark sky spinning, her body became lighter and colder, and her consciousness began to blur. A firelight appeared in front of Fan Zhi. He looked up at several soldiers wearing black armor, opened his mouth, but did not make a sound. A very far-reaching voice came from the sky: "Yes, he is Fan Zhi."

Zhou Qing slowly walked into the inner courtyard. Under the fierce attack of the crossbow of the Five Tiger Generals of the Black Eagle Army, the personal guards in the Fan Mansion had no power to fight back and were most of them shot in the courtyard. He had just arrived at the gate of the inner courtyard. A soldier came to his side with a head. He smiled and said, "General, Fan Zhi has been killed." After that, he raised Fan Zhi's head in front of the torch, and the blood shone like red pearls in the fire.

Since Zhou Qing arrived in Daliang, he has specially followed Hou Dayong to meet the prime minister of the dynasty. He looked at Fan Zhi's head expressionlessly and ordered: "Soldiers stop immediately."

Zhao Kuangyin was the Privy Councilor and the commander of the Hujie Army. He had always liked to live in the military camp. After the patrol team came back, the Hujie Army immediately called for an emergency assembly.

Zhao Kuangyin was wearing armor and frowned, sitting alone in the military tent, glanced at Lao Du's head kneeling at his feet, and said, "Why haven't the two of them come back yet if you get up and talk?"

The old man hurriedly said, "These two are very alert and familiar with each other, so they will definitely come back."

A general walked in and said, "The navy's Xuanjiao boat appeared on the Jinshui River, and there were dozens of them."

After a while, another general came in and said, "The Iron Cavalry has been dispatched and controlled the East Gate."
