Governor please stay

"puff!"

The beacon towers on the four walls of Taicheng City were ignited, and with the sound of dense drums, the soldiers of the imperial army who had already ambushed at the city gate cut off the rope of the "Thousand Jin Falling" gate in an instant.

With the sound of a bang, the heavy gates on the gates of each city fell one after another, instantly separating the "white army" of the aristocratic family that had rushed into Taicheng from the army outside the city.

This kind of heavy iron gates did not exist, but since the last vassal lord's rebellion, Liu Yishou wrote a letter to Xiao Huan, saying that Taicheng's defenses are weak, and the gates are actually wooden gates, which caught fire at one point. The cards that a capital of a country should have.It is not safe for the Son of Heaven to live here.

So he asked skilled craftsmen to add a new iron gate that could be lowered and pulled up at each city gate.

In order to block the enemy's attack on the city gate at a critical moment.

Although these heavy gates have been built for a long time, because Taicheng did not encounter turmoil later, they have been useless and gradually faded out of people's sight.If it weren't for the defense in Taicheng, Yang Kan might have forgotten that there was such a stubble.

He also didn't expect that at such a critical moment as tonight, these gates would play a decisive role.

The white-clothed army who had already rushed into the city was besieged by the soldiers of the imperial army wearing heavy armor. They were not wearing armor and were organized temporarily. They thought that this battle was just entering the city to smash and loot, and they would not encounter any resistance at all. .

Unexpectedly, the action tonight turned out to be a complete scam.

Don't talk about the morale of the army at this moment, these people only hate their parents for losing a pair of legs, wandering around in Taicheng like headless chickens, and can't get out of the encirclement.

In the end, they were all slaughtered by the Taicheng Forbidden Army like livestock, which made Yang Kan frown.

With such a little preparation, he dared to attack Taicheng. He really couldn't understand where the confidence of those people came from.

"Who in the city dares to attack Taicheng, don't you know that this is a great crime to punish the nine clans?"

After clearing out the few white-clothed soldiers in the city, Yang Kan shouted at the silent white-clothed soldiers below the city.

"General Yang, the king of Wu rebelled and is about to attack Taicheng. We are here to support General Yang to defend the city."

A voice yelled at the bottom of the city, pointing a deer for a horse is shameless, anyway, it's too late to care about it.

Hearing this, Yang Kan almost couldn't laugh out loud.

These grandsons must have been beaten tonight, and now they are dizzy and desperate to go to the doctor, and all lies come out of their heads.

"All the soldiers obey orders, and the bows and crossbows are waiting for you. King Wu's reinforcements will arrive soon."

Yang Kan yelled, and ordered the messengers to light the three torches next to him, which was a signal agreed in advance to defend the city wall with all their strength.

For a moment, the arrows on the city poured down like a rainstorm among the white-clothed army below the city.

Among these people, those with shields were better, those without shields dropped the spears in their hands and ran away, and the team in a dilemma suddenly became chaotic!
"Father, in fact, we can lead our troops to fight out now!"

Yang Kan's son Yang Yu suggested calmly.

But Yang Kan waved his hand and said: "Your brother-in-law has already arranged for this battle, so we don't want to take the lead. You take a team to Xianyang Palace, and protect the emperor. No one can be transferred, understand?"

Seeing Yang Kan's serious words, Yang Zhen also nodded cautiously.Yang Kan pulled him over and said in a low voice: "I suspect that there is an internal response in the imperial army. If you protect the emperor well, you will be invincible in this battle."

After Yang Yu left, Yang Kan continued to command the defense of the city. In less than half an hour, a large number of soldiers and horses came from the direction of Jingkou Chidao in the north of Taicheng City, and the direction of Jiangning City in the south of Taicheng City. Those torches were far away. It looks like a long dragon from a distance, which is very spectacular.

Yang Kan was determined, he was encouraging his son just now, but in fact he didn't know much about Liu Yishou's arrangement.

It's just that he knows that Liu Yishou is amazing, talented and trustworthy, so he said that.

Seeing that there seemed to be reinforcements coming, Yang Kan completely put his heart in his throat.

After a while, the white-clothed army, which had besieged Taicheng and lost ground due to lack of siege equipment, was in chaos at the rear. It seemed that they were being massacred one-sidedly by an astonishing number of mysterious troops.

Yang Kan could see clearly from the city wall of Taicheng that the white-clothed army composed of slaves and private troops from wealthy families lost its organizational order when Liu Yishou's soldiers charged, and they couldn't stop running away.

They seem to be heading for their own mansion, but can they enter their old lair where they lived peacefully?
Yang Kan already had a judgment in his heart, and he couldn't help feeling that rebellion is such a thing, it is really a high-risk and high-return job of "you win the feast, and lose the feast".

This game is really not for ordinary people to play.

However, Yang Kan was also a descendant of an aristocratic family, and he knew very well in his heart that the land and the servants of the tenant households attached to the land are the foundation of the aristocratic family.

People from these aristocratic families may not care which Xiao family member Liu Yishou chooses to become emperor, but Liu Yishou is now going to abolish the land, and want to get rid of the problem of the residence registration of overseas Chinese in prefectures and counties that has not been resolved for more than 100 years.

This move of his has moved the fundamental interests of those rich families with countless fields and houses, and there is no room for relaxation.

The land there not only has countless wealth and interests, but also countless crimes and blood and tears.

No aristocratic family can withstand the investigation, as long as Liu Yishou sends people there to investigate carefully, he will surely be able to grasp the criminal evidence and handles of countless big families.

At that time, those people will be like meat on a chopping board, living would be better than dead!
Therefore, when they found out that all of Liu Yishou's direct descendants in Jiankang had been transferred away, they decided to take the risk and stage a coup d'etat!

As long as Liu Yishou is dead, Xiao Huan will be replaced and Xiao Xie will be in charge.Everything is fine.

Xiao Xi relied on these people to come to Taicheng to be the emperor, so he must only rely on these people, and there is no possibility of complaints.

As for Xiao Huan, he is the emperor himself, and if Liu Yishou is replaced, he will not get any benefits, and he will not be grateful to these big families, so he was also given up by these people.

"Times have really changed. Is it money or life that is more important? Do you really not understand?"

Yang Kan looked at the looming corpse in the firelight below the city, and couldn't help sighing.

People make money and birds die for food. This revolution is just the beginning, and it is far from over!
His mind was full of thoughts, and he was even thinking that if Liu Yishou wiped out Gao Huan in the future, the Yang family might also be returned to the north, and he didn't know what the situation would be.

The surroundings of Taicheng gradually quieted down. The two armies from the south and the north divided up to chase and kill the scattered "white army". For a while, Yang Kan had nothing to do.

At this moment, his son Yang Zhen hurriedly came to report to Yang Kan: "Father, the arsenal ordered Wang Zhi to open the armory in Taicheng, and took a group of slaves to attack Jiankang Palace. They were killed by us. The quality died in the chaos!"

Wang Zhi is Xiao Yan's nephew, and he was born in the Langya Wang family. He would not stand idly by during this incident because of his feelings and reason.Yang Kan has always been worried about him, so he was specially transferred from Taicheng to go out on business tonight.

Unexpectedly, although this fellow could not fish in the troubled waters of the forbidden army, he would find a way to use his position to open the arsenal, distribute weapons to the domestic slaves, and then storm the palace while the siege was taking place, in an attempt to hold the emperor Xiao Huan hostage to reverse the overall situation.

Thanks to Yang Kan for letting his son lead a team of elite soldiers to be prepared, otherwise this time it might really capsize the gutter!

"Hey, when I see your brother-in-law tomorrow, I will definitely ask him for credit!"

Yang Kan patted Yang Zhen on the shoulder and said, his face was full of joy.

……

Last night, in the huge Jiankang City, almost everyone was shivering, especially those common people's homes.

The outer city wall of Jiankang City is a fence. In addition to Taicheng, there are also small cities such as Dongfu City and Stone City within the outer city wall, which serve as offices and garrison points.

Relying on these small cities, there are many large houses and large households, as well as many small households, and there is no structure similar to the "workshop" in the Northern Dynasty.

In the first half of the night, there was the sound of marching footsteps, densely packed.In the second half of the night, there were not only the sound of chaotic footsteps, but also the sound of crying, shouting, and... the sound of weapons piercing flesh.

As long as you listen to it with breathless concentration in the yard, you can imagine the horror scene outside.Except for those who were so big-hearted and fell asleep, most of the people in Taicheng were scared all night, and they didn't dare to go out even after dawn.

After dawn, the heavy metal gates of Taicheng had been pulled up, and soldiers of the Imperial Army were clearing up the arrow-shot corpses that could be seen everywhere outside Taicheng, and piled them up for disposal.

Chen Yuankang rode on a horse and led a group of elite soldiers to the south gate of Taicheng City. Looking at the dried blood all over the ground, he couldn't help frowning.

These idiots really dare to attack Taicheng!

He really didn't know how those people's courage came from. Could it be that they were extremely confident in their master's ability to bribe and win over?

"General Yang did a great job last night."

Chen Yuankang got off his horse, and said to Yang Kan who was coming.He and Yang Kan are old acquaintances, and both of them are extremely lustful, so they get on well with each other and have a good personal relationship.

"It turns out that Chen Shangshu has already made arrangements, but it made me worry all night."

Yang Kan laughed and said politely, obviously there was no worried expression in that way.

"The king of Wu has already disembarked and is heading towards Taicheng. The general's soldiers should be quick, and the king of Wu is benevolent. The worst thing is to see the blood of the dead. Jiankang is at the foot of the emperor, the capital of goodness. Now the blood is flowing like a river, and the corpses are piling up. Chengshan must be something King Wu would not like to see."

Chen Yuankang couldn't help but remind Yang Kandao.

Liu Yishou may not be afraid of seeing bleeding dead people, but what is certain is that his mood at the moment must be extremely good.If you see corpses everywhere outside Taicheng and blood flowing like rivers, you will inevitably feel unhappy.

How can a courtier make the lord feel uncomfortable?It's really nothing to say that "the master humiliated the minister to death".

Yang Kan understood, and said to Yang Zhen who was commanding the soldiers to carry the corpse: "Let the sons and daughters be more flexible, and transport the corpse to the outside of the city by car to dispose of it. Clean up the blood under the city wall. The weather is hot." , A bunch of mosquitoes and flies flying around are like words!"

At this moment, Chen Yuankang saw She Dichang escorting a group of disheveled people, including men, women and children, walking towards Taicheng.

She Dichang walked over to Chen Yuankang and said: "Chen Shangshu, these are the big households who conspired against us this time. Of course, they are only a part of them. The other subordinates are searching one by one."

When those people heard She Dichang's words, they almost fainted from crying, and quickly knelt on the ground begging for mercy.A day ago, they were still high-ranking lords and noble ladies, sons and daughters.Unexpectedly, now he is like a bereaved dog, whose life and death depend only on someone else's words.

"Well, work hard, and go to Qingxi to arrest people immediately. This matter must be done well. Don't touch the property in the mansion. This time, whoever has a long hand will be killed. Those who should be arrested Just catch Taicheng, don't do unnecessary things.

What is due to you, the master must have a sense of proportion, understand? "

Chen Yuankang said solemnly.

"I have to order, this subordinate will do it."

She Dichang said excitedly.

If it was someone else, he still wouldn't believe it.But Liu Yishou, these three words are now tantamount to "one word and one word".Liu Yishou is a person who only wants "rules" for work such as house raids, and he has never been stingy with rewards for his subordinates.

As long as you don't mess around, smash and rob, don't rape the beauties of other people's families, and don't hide the stolen property, then Liu Yishou will definitely give you the part you deserve afterwards.His credibility in this regard is simply the conscience of the industry.

She Dichang had already heard about it when he followed Er Zhurong to Luoyang for the first time.

She Dichang left, and after a while Zhou Tiehu came again, also escorting a group of prisoners, to recover his life from Chen Yuan, and then took on a new task to raid the house elsewhere.

Chen Yuankang had a long list in his hand, and Yang Kan reckoned that none of these people would be able to escape today.

Liu Yishou didn't arrive until it was three poles high in the sun.Seeing him coming, Yuan Shikang, who had been staying by Chen Yuankang's side all the time, walked over and saluted him and said, "My lord, luckily, everything is going well."

In fact, he didn't need to talk about it. After Liu Yishou disembarked from the boat at Xuanwu Lake, he walked along the road and knew that the matter had been settled.

At this moment, the prisoners were leaning against the base of the Taicheng wall and trembling like animals. Seeing them like that made those who heard it feel sad and those who saw it shed tears.

If he didn't know that these people launched a mutiny last night in an attempt to kill him, Liu Yishou really couldn't bear it.

"By the way, do you still remember the looks of the 24 little ladies who were sent at night yesterday?"

Liu Yishou suddenly remembered this incident, and asked Yuan Shikang as if nothing had happened.

"My lord, didn't those things go back... I remember it."

Yuan Shikang was a little confused, so he couldn't figure out what Liu Yishou was thinking.

"These women actually wanted to hold us back at that time. If we didn't retreat, I'm afraid we have been caught by those bad guys. Maybe we are decapitated now."

Liu Yishou snorted a little resentfully, and urged Yuan Shikang: "Go and recognize people, don't let anyone go!"

Can you still play like this?
Chen Yuankang, Yang Kan and the others all looked at each other in blank dismay. They all knew that Liu Yishou rejected 24 for his girl, but now they still have to ask for it after rejecting it... This operation has never been seen before!
After a while, Chen Yuankang recognized a dozen of them from the crowd, and brought them all together.These young women from aristocratic families did not shy away from it at all, they tried their best to wink at Liu Yishou.

"Sand Sculpture King, pick two of them and go back to warm the bed, don't say that your master treats you badly."

Liu Yishou pressed his elbow on Hu Luxian's shoulder, and suggested with a smirk.

"My lord, can I only pick two?"

Hu Luxian asked in a low voice, to be honest, he thinks these girls are all good, if he really picks two, he has to be picky.

"You can't chew too much. You're still young. I'm afraid you won't be able to control it." Liu Yishou said pointedly.

Hu Lvxian hesitated, and walked over to pick the two with the most stalwart hearts.

It turned out to be a good one.

Liu Yishou raised his chin thoughtfully, but actually he prefers the two flat-chested ones, who have a good temperament.But since the Sand Sculpture King likes it, let him be.

"You are here to deal with the aftermath. I will enter the palace first and meet the emperor."

Liu Yishou winked at Yuan Shikang, a team of 50 personal guards followed behind them, entered Taicheng as if no one else was there, and went straight to Jiankang Palace.
