Great Zhou Empire: Kill Zhao Kuangyin at the beginning

Chapter 54 Princess Li Fangyi of the Southern Tang Dynasty (Special thanks to book friend mojie123 for her monthly ticket!)

Generals Liu and Geng knew something was wrong, and when they were about to draw their swords to resist, they were swarmed by dozens of sergeants from the Jiedushi Mansion standing on both sides of the hall, and were killed by random swords.

Zhang Yonggang, who was peeping under the eaves, hesitated to take out the "God's Arm Bow" he was carrying. When he rescued Liu and Geng, they had been chopped into pulp, and Zhang Yong had to continue to hide and wait.

Han Lingkun watched coldly as the soldiers in the mansion carried down the bodies of Liu and Geng and said:

"These two people are really ignorant! I wanted to help them with good intentions, but I didn't know that they were quite loyal to the Queen Mother Fu and the little emperor!
Mr. Tang, the Zhou army will arrive in Yangzhou tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Are you ready? "

Tang Hao laughed and said:

"Mr. Han, please rest assured. For more than a month, your Majesty has sent his own officers to sneak a hundred thousand troops across the river in batches and ambush them in the valley east of Yangzhou City.

His Majesty sent Lin Renzhao, the envoy of Zhenhai Festival, with 20,000 troops, to pretend to attack Quan and Nanzhou, so as to attract the Zhou army to cross the river and attack Jinling as soon as possible.

His Majesty personally led an army of 5 to defend Jinling City.

At that time, as long as Master Han stabilizes Han Hui, he pretends to provide warships to cross the Yangtze River. When his army is halfway across the Yangtze River and cannot take care of both the head and the tail, your army and ours will attack his army. Your Majesty will block Han Hui on the south bank of the Yangtze River. No matter how elite the Wan Da Zhou Forbidden Army is, they will be defeated or even wiped out!
Hahaha! "

Han Lingkun in the palace also laughed for a while.

After the two discussed some details of combat liaison and cooperation, Tang Hao resigned from the palace. The kabuki dancers also followed Tang Hao out of the palace, led by the beautiful dancing girl.

Zhang Yong remembered the words of Emperor Chai Zongxun before leaving, and wanted to kill Han Lingkun with the "God's Arm Bow". However, he thought that it was more important to inform Han Hui of the military arrangement of the Southern Tang Dynasty, so he gave up the idea. read.

After Tang Hao and others left, after a while, Han Lingkun looked at his two younger brothers Han Lingjun and Han Lingxun and his son Han Qingchao and said:
"When I lead the army to attack Han Hui, my two brothers and Chao'er must unite the army to defend Yangzhou City!
If I come back before I have the army under my command, I must remember not to let any of the Tang soldiers enter the city. I must be careful not to let Tang Hao seize the opportunity to occupy Nestle and seize my Yangzhou! "

Han Lingjun, Han Lingxun and Han Qingchao all agreed in unison.

Zhang Yong waited patiently for everyone in the palace to discuss for a while, then they all exited the palace, and then quietly left the Jiedushi Mansion.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Zhang Yong walked quickly in the night of Yangzhou City, rushing towards the "Huaiyang Inn".

After a while, Zhang Yong had sneaked near the inn. After waiting for a while, he saw only a few of his "Long Xiang Guard" sergeants sneaking back outside the inn. There was nothing unusual about them, and they immediately entered the inn like ghosts.

Not long after Zhang Yong entered his "Tianzihao" guest room on the second floor, at almost midnight, the other twenty "Long Xiang Guards" came to the room one after another to collect them.

Seeing the number of people increasing, Zhang Yong's sense of danger suddenly rose and became stronger.

At two o'clock in the morning, everyone had returned to Zhang Yong's room. Except for the sound of everyone's breathing, the surroundings of the inn were completely silent.

While Zhang Yong reported the information he had found out to the brothers, he was thinking hard about what the problem was.

Zhang Yong is extremely talented and has a lot of experience in the world, otherwise he would not be able to make it in the world since he was a child. He suddenly understood in a flash: the inn was too quiet, and even the snoring of the residents who usually did not pay attention and were accustomed to it, could be heard. All are indebted.

Zhang Yong immediately whispered to the "Long Xiang Guards":

"Not good! We have been surrounded by enemies! Everyone is ready to break out immediately!"

All the "Longxiang Guards" were horrified. They didn't understand the reason, and when they were about to rush out of the room with Zhang Yong, a sudden change occurred.

Except for the room where Zhang Yong and others lived, almost all the rooms in the inn were lit with lights and people poured out. A large number of people also appeared in the night outside the inn, and they were so crowded that it was feared that there would be no less than a thousand people. .

A petite man in black stood out from the crowd and stood in front of the closed door of Zhang Yong's room. After a moment, he said:
"As expected of Zhang Yong, the number one ranger of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

I heard that Guo Zongxun, the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, valued you very much. He gathered orphans from all over the country to form a new "Dragon Guard" and gave it to you to command.

This princess was waiting to hear what you were secretly discussing, but you discovered us.

Now it seems that I have no choice but to arrest you all and torture you. "

Her voice was ethereal, distant and close, weeping and complaining. It made people feel lost after hearing it, and they just wanted to hear her speak again.

Zhang Yong's heart moved and he said in the guest room: "Are you Li Fangyi, Princess Yongning of the Tang Dynasty?"

During the Five Dynasties, various countries continued to fight, and secret service agencies received great attention and development.

The secret service agency of the Southern Tang Dynasty was known as the "Imperial City Division", and its highest commander was said to be Li Fangyi, the princess of Yongning, the daughter of the central leader Li Jing, who was only sixteen years old.

The "Long Xiang Guard" has only been established for five months. The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty and many ordinary officials still don't know about it. Li Fangyi actually knows about it, which shows the intelligence capabilities of the "Imperial City Division" of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Li Fangyi smiled slightly and said:
"Yes! It is this princess.

Zhang Yong, this princess has long heard of your deeds of killing Zhao Kuangyin in the Great Zhou Dynasty Hall of Martial Arts, but today you and others have become turtles in the urn.

With your talents, if you can take refuge under my princess, you will definitely shine and be granted the title of Duke and Marquis in our great Tang Dynasty!
Zhang Yong, what do you think? "

Zhang Yong smiled and said:

"Princess Yongning, are you sure you can take down all of us?
I'm just confused about something, I hope the princess can clear it up. "

Li Fangyi said with a troubled expression:

"Zhang Yong, you don't have to think that anyone will come to save you today. Now that I have appeared, I will never let you go back to report the news.

You might as well talk and listen. "

Zhang Yong's thoughts were racing in his mind, and he had no idea how to lead the "Dragon Guard" sergeants to escape, so he had to delay for a while, and then said immediately:
"Princess, how did you find out we were entering the city?"

Li Fangyi smiled sweetly for a while, her slender and enchanting body trembling like a flower branch, and said:

"This princess knows that if you don't ask and understand this matter, you will be very upset.

Guo Zongxun was able to place an informant in Yangzhou. Yangzhou was originally the leader of the Tang Dynasty, so naturally the Tang Dynasty could do the same.

When you enter the city, the guard at Ximen will be from the Tang Dynasty.

Zhang Yong, do you understand? "

Zhang Yong and others suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he, a gatekeeper, was not moved by money. And now being surrounded by Li Fangyi's army, he naturally sent people to follow him quietly, thus leaking his whereabouts.

Li Fangyi said:

"Zhang Yong, this princess is sorry that you are a rare talent. What are your thoughts?

This princess's patience is limited! "

Zhang Yong knew that the other party was about to take action, so he immediately gestured to his subordinates in the room to escape through the window with him.

Li Fangyi waited for a moment outside the room. Seeing that Zhang Yong did not reply, she knew that he was preparing to escape, so she immediately ordered to her subordinates:

"Come in! No one can escape except those captured alive by Zhang Yong!"

Hundreds of Southern Tang warriors surrounding the room immediately kicked at the door, trying to rush in.

Baihu Fanli suddenly shouted:
"Commander Zhang, take your brothers and escape through the window! You must bring the information back to the army!"

With a wave of his hand, Fan Li led ten "Longxiang Guard" brothers to block the door and started a bloody battle with the Southern Tang warriors who wanted to rush in.

Zhang Yongli made a decision and jumped out of the window together with the remaining ten "Long Xiang Guards".
