Chapter 553 Did the old dog Xiang Wang catch it?

Outside the South Gate of Xiangyang City, Zhang Xianzhong stood looking at the South Gate Tower, a young thief general beside him said softly: "Father Commander, Dingguo and the others only sneaked in about [-] people, so they won't miss it!"

Zhang Xianzhong didn't take it seriously, he said casually: "Wang Bagaozi, Ding Guogui's son has fought with me and the army for these years, and now he will definitely not have any flaws if he pretends to be a general."

"Father, you see that the city tower is on fire, Dingguo and the others have succeeded!" Another young thief next to him shouted happily.

"Guild son, let me tell you that Dingguo won't embarrass me."

Zhang Xianzhong's face was also full of joy, and the rush all the way for the past few days was finally not in vain. He shouted to the young thief who was the first to speak just now: "Keep Wanggui son, you lead five hundred cavalry to attack Prince Xiang's mansion. Take down the east gate, let me catch that old dog of King Xiang, and we must not let him escape."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and said to the young thief general who was the first to see the fire in the city tower just now: "Wenxiu, you also lead four hundred cavalry to the Daotai Yamen, and capture this little dog Zhang Kejian alive for my father. Good Simon."

Zhang Xianzhong then turned around and raised his hand to pat another thief general on the shoulder, shouting: "Little Bai, you lead four hundred cavalry to inspect the yamen and the gates in the north of the city, and catch this old boy Wang Shuzeng for me."

Zhang Xianzhong's adopted sons, Zhang Kewang, Zhang Wenxiu, and Bai Wenxuan, all the generals received orders loudly, quickly got on their horses, and led their elite riders to the south gate of Xiangyang Prefecture.

After Zhang Kewang and the others rode into the south gate, Zhang Xianzhong formed his team without haste, led the remaining [-] elite cavalry into the city, and divided his troops into the city, shouting loudly: "People in the city don't panic, officers and soldiers who surrender will not be killed." !"

There were only some sporadic battles in Xiangyang City. Most of the thousands of officers and soldiers guarding the city surrendered and sacrificed to the bandits. Only a few officials and soldiers escaped from the gate or escaped from the city in the chaos.

The surrounding area of ​​Xiangyang City is twelve miles, one hundred and three paces, and dozens of streets and alleys are densely covered in the city, and there are many government offices of various sizes. Zhang Xianzhong has completely occupied the area without any major battles by relying on 28 internal responses. Xiangyang Fucheng.

…………

After Zhang Xianzhong galloped his horse into the south gate of Xiangyang, he went straight to Xingyuan, the supervisor of Yang Sichang when he stayed in Xiangyang. The military warehouse on the left side of Xingyuan had already been occupied by his troops. The horse ran to Prince Xiang's mansion.

Zhang Xianzhong rode to the Duanli Gate of King Xiang's Mansion, and met his adopted son Zhang Kewang coming out of King Xiang's Mansion. Behind him, a group of bandits pushed a tall old man with white beard and hair.

Zhang Xianzhong glanced at the old man's face with the help of the flames burning everywhere, and asked Zhang Kewang, "Have you caught the dog king?"

Zhang Kewang replied with a smile: "Caught it. The palace has been guarded by troops, and no one else is allowed to enter or leave. Only the father and commander are sent."

Zhang Xianzhong was very happy, and said loudly: "Okay! According to the original arrangement, send this dog king to the gate tower of the west city and lock him up first. I will interrogate him when I have time."

Seeing that King Xiang had been captured, he stopped going into the palace to see. He reined in his horse and galloped to the yamen of Yun and Xiangdao.

Several thieves were guarding the gate of the Bingxian Yamen, and there were still several dead bodies lying under the horoscope wall on the left. They should have been beheaded and killed on the spot when they resisted the thieves just now.

Zhang Xianzhong got off his horse, led his soldiers and walked towards the Bingxian Yamen. In the second gate, he saw his adopted son Zhang Wenxiu welcoming him.

He opened his mouth and asked, "Have you caught that bastard Zhang Kejian?"

"Returning to the commander-in-chief, Zhang Kejian led his family to escape, but was overtaken by my cavalry, and was killed on the spot during the battle. The body was dragged outside the gate under the horoscope wall, and it will be seen by the people in the city after dawn."

Zhang Xianzhong nodded, strode up to the hall again, and sat down on the big chair in the middle.

At this moment, his adopted son Zhang Dingguo strode in, stood in front of him, and said with a smile, "My father is handsome, my son has already done everything he ordered."

Zhang Xianzhong smiled happily and scolded: "You son of a bitch, this matter is well done! You didn't encounter any difficulties when you entered the city, did you?"

Zhang Dingguo replied with a smile: "Fortunately, it was easier than I expected. Thanks to the envoys sent by Yang Sichang who came to Xiangyang to transfer troops on the road, we took away their soldier talismans.

Otherwise, if we only rely on the flags and uniforms of the officers and soldiers, and the official document we forged, it may be more troublesome to earn money into the city. "

Hearing the words, Zhang Xianzhong burst out laughing happily, then he stood up from the chair, walked forward, raised his hand and patted Zhang Dingguo's shoulder and said, "My good son, you are indeed the adopted son of the Eighth King of Xiying!

do you understand?

The most important thing is not the flags and uniforms of the officers and soldiers, let alone those dead official documents and military symbols, but your boldness and carefulness, and your calm expression, which prevents the bastards guarding the city gate from seeing the slightest bit. Flaws, so they have to believe it! "

He then laughed again, patted Zhang Dingguo on the shoulder again, and praised: "You have done such a great service for me this time, and I will reward you heavily.

After you entered the city, how did you find our hidden people so quickly? "

Zhang Dingguo said with a smile: "I took a few soldiers to Xinghua Village for a drink, and I had a room all to myself. I just entered, and Qin Xianer, who was in charge of the accounts, glanced at me, and then the waiter, Xiao Chen, was also very clever. The follow-up came to ask me what food and wine I wanted, and he had already seen that it was me.

In the past, Hai'er followed Uncle Ma to Xiangyang City on business twice, and met him a few times.I whispered to him that our troops will enter the city at the third watch tonight, and told him to make preparations quickly, and then lead people to set fires around the city, and at the same time shout for support.

He also told Hai'er that Wu Guoxi, the Qianzong who was guarding the Luyan post in the northeast of the city, brought more than [-] family members to Xiangyang city to collect his salary today.Someone in his family secretly communicated with Qin Xian'er, and thought of something early on, but he never succeeded.

Qin Xian'er then sent someone to make an appointment with them, and set fire to the Yangchunfang area where they lived in the middle of the night, taking the lead in occupying the east gate of Fucheng.If the bottom line in the city hadn't been connected, it wouldn't have been so smooth relying on the 28 people like Hai'er alone. "

Zhang Xianzhong laughed and said, "Okay, okay, it's done well. Where is Lao Pan now?"

Bai Wenxuan was stepping up the steps at this time, and replied in a loud voice on behalf of Zhang Dingguo: "Mr. Pan thought that the commander-in-chief would be in Prince Xiang's mansion, so he and his two wives went into the mansion. I only found out later that I came here. It should be in the mansion." On the way."

Zhang Xianzhong glanced at him and asked, "Xiaobai, you're here! Has that old boy from Wang Zhifu been caught?"

Bai Wenxuan replied loudly: "Tell him to run away, but the pusher Kuang Yueguang was caught, and he has already been slaughtered by us."

Zhang Xianzhong asked anxiously: "Wang Shuzeng, the son of a bitch, ran away? How could he escape so fast?"

Bai Wenxuan replied: "When the city was broken, he and Kuang Yueguang, the pusher, were playing leaf games with Fuqing King and Jinxian King's servants in the Fuqing Palace. When he saw the fire in the city and heard shouts, he So he led his servants to protect the two county kings and escaped faster than rabbits.

I led the troops to the magistrate's yamen, and when I returned to Fuqing Palace, I heard that he had escaped, so I hurried to the north gate to pursue him.But he chased him all the way to Linjiang Gate and didn't see this old boy. He heard that 30 or [-] people just ran out of the circle gate.

I chased them out of the circle gate again, and they had already escaped from Gongchen gate and crossed the river from the pontoon bridge.I chased to the pier of the pontoon again, and the pontoon had already been set ablaze by the officers and soldiers guarding it.Kuang Yueguang ran slowly, and I caught him inside the Gongchen Gate and killed him on the spot.
