Traveling through the Ming Dynasty, as soon as you open your eyes, you will die

Wu Sangui followed Lu Mou's order and happily released Liu Jianye back to the city.

But as soon as he entered Taiyuan City, Liu Jianye immediately felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, because just when he entered the city, a large number of troops gathered inside the city gate as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

This is normal, because they want to guard against their own army entering the city, and the Ming army following behind and making a sneak attack.

But looking at the eyes of those soldiers looking at me, how come they are all full of suspicion and hostility? This is a little unusual.

Seeing Dang Shouyi's Chinese army, Liu Jianye greeted enthusiastically: "Old Zhao, I have returned victoriously. I successfully suppressed the rebellion with ease, and the entire army has returned."

The Chinese Army smiled awkwardly and said, "Then I would like to congratulate General Liu."

"Where is General Dang? Take me to recover. Then come back and let us brothers have a good drink."

Several former friends stepped back involuntarily, smiled awkwardly, and answered perfunctorily: "Yes, let's celebrate our brother's success."

The Chinese army said: "No need, our general has already set up a banquet in the lobby of the general's mansion, and we are just waiting to welcome the general."

Liu Jianye didn't doubt that he was there, so he went straight to the general's mansion where Dang Shouyi was present.

When he went to the general's mansion for a banquet, Lu Mou shouted angrily to Wu Sangui: "Hurry up, prepare to attack the city."

Wu Sangui was puzzled: "Your Majesty, the enemy's defenses are very tight, and our army has no detailed preparations. How can we attack the city in a hurry?"

"Don't talk nonsense. There will be big changes in Taiyuan City soon. We can take advantage of the opportunity to act. If we don't prepare, it will be too late."

Although everyone didn't know why, but the prince gave the order, everyone made preparations and treated it as normal military training anyway.

Liu Jianye was led by Dang Shouyi's soldiers to the general's mansion. Someone walked out of the mansion and smiled and handed over to Liu Jianye: "The general was very happy when he learned that General Liu had returned victoriously, and ordered General Liu to sit at the table with his meritorious soldiers."

After Liu Jianye thanked him, he called to the main leaders and brothers behind him: "Come on, let's go in together and accept the reward from the general."

Several brothers came to the house happily. Be prepared to eat and drink a lot.

When Liu Jianye's group of brothers walked into the lobby happily, they were stunned. The place was empty, there was no celebration or banquet, only Dang Shouyi was sitting at the top with a murderous look on his face, his face as sinking as water.

Liu Jianye couldn't help but frown: "General, the last general has returned victorious. Now he surrenders his orders."

Dang Shouyi asked coldly: "How much will the rebellion be destroyed and how much damage will be done?"

"In response to the general's words, five thousand rebels were wiped out. Our troops were not harmed."

Dang Shouyi sneered: "Yes, those five thousand rebels chatted with you all the way and destroyed the false king who was drinking and talking happily. How can you lose? So, you have escaped unscathed this time and returned to Taiyuan. What’s the purpose?”

Liu Jianye's heart sank, not good. "General, what do you mean by this question?"

"What do you mean? Are you going back to Taiyuan to follow the false king's will and plan to steal and sell Taiyuan together?"

Liu Jianye was shocked at the time: "The general misunderstood, I never meant it."

At this moment, drums were beating loudly outside the city, and shouts of killing rose into the sky.

Liu Jianye's expression changed drastically, and Dang Shouyi kicked the table over: "You still say no, what is outside the city? Where is the swordsman? Kill these rebellious people."

As soon as he finished speaking, a big change occurred, and countless swordsmen and axemen came out from the side halls on both sides. At this time, the screams of his brother's death were also heard outside the house.

Liu Jianye understood it at that time. At this time, further explanation was no longer necessary and could not be explained clearly. At that time, he drew his sword and shouted: "Brothers, fight out and join us brothers."

The soldiers led by the internal generals of the rogue bandits belong to whomever they recruited under their own control. They have been brothers in life and death for many years of fighting. Without Liu Jianye's orders, the dozen or so brothers who followed him picked up the guy and began to rush out without saying a word.

These are all gangsters, and their kung fu is gained through thousands of battles and with blood and lives. How can they compare to those so-called swordsmen and axe-wielders?
Liu Jianye opened the way in front, and his brothers guarded the left and right. A small fighting group fought to break out of the house.

Dang Shouyi is not stupid. Rumors are spreading all over the city. They say that Liu Jianye, who was sent to exterminate the White Lotus Sect, was actually in the same place as the fake King Hebing, and they were talking and laughing all the way. At that time, Dang Shouyi was furious, but he had no choice but to think that Liu Jianye had accepted the Ming Dynasty's imperial edict and rebelled against Dashun.

But soon someone came to report that Liu Jianye had brought his entire army through the loose siege of the Ming army and came back.

Why did he come back suddenly?
Needless to say, do you need to come back as an internal response?

Originally he shouldn't have let Liu Jianye in, but Taiyuan City was vast and he didn't have enough troops. He was worried about Liu Jianye's three thousand subordinates.

According to the rules of rogue bandits, although the soldiers brought by the bandits belong to whom, it is normal for them to annex each other. As long as the leader is killed, the soldiers will naturally submit to their new master.

But when the ambush actually started, things went as planned, except for a small accident.

The surprise lies in Liu Jianye's character.

Liu Jianye has strong fighting ability and is a fierce general. At the same time, he treats others with loyalty. Treat your subordinates truly as brothers. He will never act arrogantly, and he will share the wealth earned equally among his subordinates, regardless of their superiority or inferiority.

That's why there are subordinate brothers who follow each other in life and death.

In the yard, all the swordsmen and axemen came out to kill, and the three thousand Liu Jianye brothers outside felt that something was wrong. At this time, there was a roar in the surrounding streets, and countless rogue soldiers rushed out and surrounded them in an instant. However, these brothers did not surrender according to the rules because they were leaderless. Instead, a small leader stood up and shouted: "The general has been plotted against. Let's save the general." With this sentence, the three thousand brothers were immediately stabilized and rushed towards the general's mansion.

Their move only frightened the rogue bandits who originally surrounded them and forced them to surrender, but in the end they could only launch an encirclement and suppression campaign.

At this point, the situation was completely out of control.

In the mansion, the leaders led by Liu Jianye were not afraid of death and fought their way out, while the brothers outside tried their best to rescue him. Dang Shouyi's army, which blocked the few gates of the mansion, could not withstand it for a while, and was defeated by both inside and outside in the blink of an eye. Liu Jianye's brothers were reunited inside and outside.

The little leader asked urgently: "General, what should we do?"

What else could he do at this time? Liu Jianye would have to rebel if he didn't. Decisively ordered: "Occupy the General's Mansion as a base and wait for the Ming army to break the city. We will surrender to the Ming army."

Following the order, Liu Jianye led his brothers to fight back. At that time, there were only 500 swordsmen and axemen in the yard. Dang Shouyi believed that they could cut through the mess quickly, take down the leader Liu Jianye, and recruit 3,000 of his men in a blink of an eye.

But I didn't expect that things would end like this.

Five hundred swordsmen and axemen were no match for the desperate gangsters. They were all killed in less than half an hour, and Dang Shooyi jumped over the wall to escape.

The door of Dang Shouyi's general's mansion was tightly closed inside.

Now it's better, the dove occupied the magpie's nest, and his house was ransacked.

Dang Shouyi, who escaped by jumping over the wall, stamped his feet outside: "You're careless, you're careless."

The Chinese army asked anxiously: "General, the Ming army is very anxious to attack the city wall. How should we respond?"

There are strong enemies outside and great changes within. Why should I covet these three thousand soldiers?

But at this time, it was too late to get off the hook. Even if he put down his posture, apologized to Liu Jianye, and repaired the old relationship, it was impossible. Now, he originally had 20,000 troops, but now he lost 3,000, leaving only 17,000. what to do?
After calming down for a moment, he said: "Move five thousand and besiege the general's mansion. The rest will all go to the city to defend. Nothing can be lost in Taiyuan City."

The Chinese army can only obey orders. At the beginning, they divided their troops to encircle and suppress the rebellion, while resisting the Ming army's siege outside the city. (End of chapter)
