Chapter 81 Dark Moon Killing Night
There is a back door in the backyard of Dashun Inn, which leads directly to a small tavern. This tavern is also opened in Suizhou. After Dong Zunhui and his friends finished dressing up, they quietly left the backyard under the guidance of the old shopkeeper. They first went to the tavern to sit in the tavern. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, they came to the street.
It was almost time to agree, Dong Zunhui led everyone to the direction of the Xiangzhou military camp. In the alley next to the military camp, they met the guide sent by An Shouzhong. Under his leadership, everyone entered a kiln. It was daytime, and all the girls in the kiln were taking a break and it was very quiet. Everyone tiptoed to the backyard of the kiln and found that many people were waiting here. By the time of Shen, there were basically all people, with about fifty people.
This kiln is connected to the military camp. In the past, soldiers secretly came to visit prostitutes through secret passages at night, but they were never discovered by the officers. Now, Du Yuhou and the commander have been replaced by An Youjin's confidants. Some of them knew about this and pretended to be deaf and dumb, so that the soldiers would curse him. So An Shouzhong gathered personnel here and prepared to enter the military camp after night.
Dong Zunhui met An Shouzhong here. The two of them walked into the house and whispered to plan their action plan tonight. When Dong Zunhui saw that there was no one around, he whispered to An Shouzhong: "Xinchen, I just met Gao Baoxun in the city and overheard the conversation between him and his subordinates. Please forgive me, Ling Zun has been assassinated by An Youjin!"
"What?!" An Shouzhong jumped up from the chair, rushed to Dong Zunhui, and grabbed his collar: "This is impossible, this is impossible!"
Dong Zunhui sighed, "Xinchen, I don't believe this news either, but why did An Youjin dare to block the city? Why did he dare to order you, the 'River Thief'? If Ling Zun is still alive, he would not have the courage or the opportunity! Now, the most important thing for us is to avenge Ling Zun and kill An Youjin!"
An Shouzhong let go of Dong Zunhui's collar powerlessly. He tried hard to widen his eyes, but tears still flowed out of the corners of his eyes. His father disappeared and was murdered by An Youjin's slave. Although he was unwilling to believe it, reason told him that it was true!
An Shouzhong tried hard to grit his teeth and prevent himself from crying. He clenched his fists hard, his nails pierced deeply into the flesh, and blood slowly flowed out of his palms, but he did not cry out! The outside of the house was full of his confidants, and many of them took the opportunity to get promoted and make money. An Shouzhong was still under the banner of raising an army to save his father tonight, so he could not let his confidants know the truth. After all, his father ruled Xiangzhou for many years, and An Shouzhong had to use his name to gather people's hearts.
Dong Zunhui sighed. It is difficult to accept anyone to support his son but his parents are not here. But now the time is urgent, so we must seize the time to plan and not delay it.
Dong Zunhui poured An Shouzhong a glass of water and said to him: "Xinshi, please feel sorry for me. Now we have to work hard to avenge Lingzun, so we can't cry! Gao Baoxun accidentally said that he had led more than 500 people to Xiangzhou. If we delay any further, maybe An Youjin would borrow troops to guard the barracks. After all, we only brought fifty soldiers. To prevent them from being outnumbered at night, it would be better to act as soon as possible. Besides, too much noise is easy to be noticed by the other party. If An Youjin's close friends closed the camp with strong bows and crossbows, we have no choice."
An Shouzhong nodded repeatedly, and he wiped his tears: "Brother, listen to you! I must kill An Youjin today to avenge my father!"
An Shouzhong lifted up the corner of his clothes and wiped his tears. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, this was called "Jing An Kexin" (the former scout leader), and asked him to enter the military camp immediately from the secret passage.
An Kexin's brother An Keyi is a team leader in the army. Both brothers have received funding from An Shouzhong and are considered An Shouzhong's caring people, but outsiders do not know this situation. After An Youjin eradicated the Du Yuhou in the army and commanded the battalion, he promoted many grassroots officers and soldiers to win people's hearts. An Keyi was among them and was promoted to the head of the capital.
Early this morning, An Kexin disguised himself into the city and contacted An Keyi. At noon, An Keyi also came over from the secret passage to meet An Shouzhong and expressed his loyalty. An Shouzhong was very happy and personally promised him a position as Du Yuhou, which made An Keyi firmly follow An Shouzhong. If An Keyi had only experienced qualifications, it might not be a problem for the commander of the camp, but he would not be able to get involved in the position of Du Yuhou, who had no power or power. So after An Keyi returned to the barracks, he seized the time to contact his friends.
In fact, in order to get wages and food, they are just for promotion and wealth. It doesn’t matter if they are promoted or wealthy these days. For these middle and lower-level officers who have no support, the easiest opportunity to get promotion is mutiny! And they still have the truth, to restore Xiangzhou and rescue the Jiedushi!
There were more than 10,000 soldiers in Xiangzhou, of which 3,000 naval troops were stationed on the dock outside the city, which was also the focus of An Youjin's control, preventing An Shouzhong from quietly returning to Xiangzhou from the waterway. Two thousand of the seven thousand soldiers in the city were stationed in the city gates on all sides, and more than 5,000 people were left behind in the camp.
In order to control the army and guard against An Shouzhong, An Youjin completely reorganized the navy and the troops at the city gate, completely replaced the Du Yuhou, battalion commanders, and even replaced them with his confidants, with strong control. However, his confidants were limited. For the 5,000 soldiers in the military camp, he only killed two Du Yuhou and eight battalion commanders, and then appointed his subordinates to serve as battalion commanders. An Youjin was determined to control the grassroots officers of Du Yu and captain level, but no one was available.
An Keyi started from here and rebelled against the heads of the capital one by one. Everyone was borne by grassroots soldiers, and they were not An Youjin's confidants. The chances of getting promoted and making money in the future are very small. Only by seizing the opportunity of mutiny can everyone continue to be promoted and made money. Moreover, An Shouzhong is a senior official like the Shandong Governor of Shandong Province, covering the three places of Xiangzhou, Fangzhou and Junzhou. There are countless officers under his command waiting for them!
Basically, as soon as An Keyi mobilized, the heads were a little moved. When they came to An Shouzhong from the secret passage and received An Shouzhong's personal promise, the heads basically strengthened their confidence. Of course, there were also guys who were content with the status quo. An Shouzhong promised not to change their positions and put them under house arrest. As for those who wanted to inform, Dong Zunhui and An Shouzhong were not ruthless, and they were killed one by one.
By nightfall, twenty-five Dutou had sworn allegiance to An Shouzhong, six Dutou had been imprisoned, and three attempted informants were killed. Now, it was time to enter the camp to show off with the commanders of the battalions! An Shouzhong and Dong Zunhui led everyone to sneak in from the secret passage and were ready to launch a mutiny at any time. No, it should be called an "uprising"!
