Chapter 63: Attacking the Door
Zhu Lin left the palace in a vague way. He left the palace while the imperial guards were not paying attention.
From beginning to end, the imperial guards in the imperial city did not discover it. Wang Shenqi was fake, from the original Qianshan to the present Zhu Lin.
After leaving the imperial city invisibly, Zhu Lin headed straight towards Fanlou. The Southern Tang army had already bypassed Zhao Kuangyin and came towards Kaifeng.
It seems that along the way, this prime minister who has been missing for a long time led the way. The guards guarded the pass only released so many troops after seeing the prime minister.
At this time, Wang Shenqi had just dealt with Fanlou's killers and the rioters. He ordered his men to clean up the corpse in the field. Wang Shenqi looked at Wang Feng's corpse lying there coldly.
He is a sin that he cannot survive. Wang Shenqi will not have any sympathy for this kind of 25 boy. If it weren't for him, Wang Feng would still be in the army. He would have been rebellious if he promoted him.
When Wang Shenqi was still in a daze, he felt a breeze blowing by his side. Wang Shenqi's heart moved and he asked softly: "Who?"
"General Wang, it's me!"
Wang Shenqi replied: "It turns out to be Mr. Zhu. What did you do just now?"
Zhu Lin gradually showed his appearance, and he told everything that had just happened, including what Qian Shan told him about the Southern Tang army.
Wang Shenqi was shocked: "Li Feng actually has such courage?"
"Yeah." Zhu Lin said in a deep voice: "I just cheated Qian Shan and asked him to tell me because I disguised myself as Chai Zongxun. According to my observation, the royal family should not know Li Feng's plan!"
"That would be very strange!" Wang Shenqi said: "If the Empress Dowager or the New Emperor participated in this incident, then Qian Shan would not have entered the palace like this... Did Li Feng not negotiate with the royal family?"
Zhu Lin narrowed his eyes: "I'm afraid this Li Feng wants to be the second General Zhao!"
"It's possible!" Wang Shenqi said seriously: "But as a civil servant, how could Li Feng have so much confidence in controlling military power?"
Zhu Lin shook his head: "It's unknown, but it's certain that Li Feng is not a good intention. General Wang, the imperial guards at the north gate of the south gate are probably not ours."
"We'd better take advantage of the opportunity that the South Gate North Gate Guard was not in a good way to take them down in one fell swoop."
Wang Shenqi frowned and said, "There are two thousand soldiers in the north gate of the south gate, and the imperial guards and the other two gates together are only more than 10,000. If the battle is fought, there will be great casualties."
"And the imperial guards at the south gate and the north gate are not necessarily all rebels. Will the elimination of their own people in such a chaotic time create greater chaos?"
Zhu Lin said in a deep voice: "General Wang, time is endless. The guards of the south gate and the north gate are Wang Feng and Guan Lin. As far as I know, Guan Lin and Wang Feng are brothers who are worshipped by their elders. Wang Feng is indifferent to the rebellion of Guan Lin. Do you believe it?"
"If you want me, just take advantage of Wang Feng's rebellion and directly take down two city gates, then stuff all the imperial guards into prison, and then deal with them after handling the matters of Southern Tang!"
Wang Shenqi nodded, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. Those who accomplish great things are not limited to minor details. Wang Shenqi has been fighting for many years, and he knows that hesitation may bring more variables.
Zhu Lin continued: "When the Southern Tang army came here, I disguised myself as Wang Feng, lured them into the city. Behind the city gate is the alley. Our army ambushed in the alley in advance and launched an attack after they entered."
"In this way, no matter how many of them are, they will not be our opponent!"
"Young Master Zhu knows how many Southern Tang troops came this time?"
Zhu Lin pondered: "There is no more than 10,000 at most! The Southern Tang Dynasty was weak, and this ten thousand troops were already at the top, and the too large army could not avoid General Zhao's vision."
"And I guess this army will come to Kaifeng tonight or tomorrow at the latest, otherwise Qian Shan would not have been so urgent to go to the palace to find Chai Zongxun."
Wang Shenqi responded: "Okay! I'll organize the army now!"
Wang Shenqi greeted the deputy general who came beside him: "You cut off Wang Feng's head and hung it in front of the army. Wang Feng intends to rebel. The south gate and the north gate have colluded together. You go to contact the imperial guards of the imperial city and launch a strong attack on the two gates immediately!"
"yes!"
"Wait a minute!" Zhu Lin stopped Wang Shenqi and the deputy general who were about to leave. Wang Shenqi asked in confusion: "Young Master Zhu, is there anything else?"
Zhu Lin said seriously: "General Wang, give me five hundred troops and I will bring you the South Gate back!"
Wang Shenqi was stunned: "Young Master Zhu is joking? There are only one thousand soldiers in the south gate, and two hundred guards on the city wall. How easy is it to fight?"
Zhu Lin smiled and said, "General Wang, can you see if this is OK?" As he said, Zhu Lin used all kinds of changes, and he changed into Wang Feng's appearance: "I pretended to be victorious and returned to victory, and reduce the vigilance of the guards of the South Gate."
"Then take the South Gate in one fell swoop!"
"Okay!" Wang Shenqi forgot this. The disguise technique is really a magical spell. Wang Shenqi smiled and said, "Young Master Zhu, five hundred young masters, I will give you a thousand! These thousand are my personal army, don't worry about loyalty!"
"Thank you General Wang!"
Because it was a war period, every city in the Great Zhou used the tactic of garrisoning the city walls and garrisoning behind the walls, so that the army could react as soon as the enemy attacked and raided. Although it would disturb the lives of the people, this was also a helpless move.
After the army, it was the place where the people lived. Zhu Lin rode a tall horse with Wang Feng's appearance. In order to be realistic, he also used the ever-changing changes to transform Wang Shenqi's head in his hand.
Wang Shenqi, who was following Zhu Lin, was a little speechless. Although he knew it was all acting, it was uncomfortable to hold his general's head in someone else's hand.
Kaifeng is a capital city after all, and the streets here are very wide and can accommodate more than 30 people at the same time. This thousand people are in line, which is also very spectacular.
Zhu Lin felt that Wang Shenqi had launched a strong attack at the North Gate, and the north gate of the South Gate was far away, so there shouldn't be any news from the South Gate.
Zhu Lin rode his horse under the city wall. Before he could speak, he shouted, "Sir!"
Zhu Lin observed around. Not far from the street was the place where the troops were stationed. Now it was on shifts of the imperial guards. Many imperial guards were still resting, and the guards on the city wall were all Wang Feng's people.
Zhu Lin raised his hand: "Why don't you come down to welcome him? I have chopped off Wang Shenqi's head! Come down and follow me to support the palace! Today we will kill all these thieves!"
Wang Feng's subordinates looked at Zhu Lin in confusion: "But sir, why are the troops following you all innocent!"
It seems that Wang Feng’s subordinates are not fools, and Zhu Lin’s face remains unchanged: “These are all people given to us by Lord Li! Two of the four gates of Kaifeng have responded to the call, and these are all people there!”
