King Xiang ordered his son, Zhu Youzhen, to lead the troops to attack the governor's Yamen.
As a member of the royal family, the descendants of Taizu have the obligation and responsibility to stand up and take over the command when the country is in trouble. This is the original intention of Taizu's enfeoffment of the world, but he has old arms and legs and can't move. Let his son work on his behalf.
After receiving the order, the prince Zhu Youzhen dared not go, but he also thought of a very practical problem. As the eldest son of the Xiang royal family, I was destined to inherit the throne. No matter what he did, no matter how well he did, he could not inherit the throne or get more.
King Xiang's mansion is all he has. If he goes to attack the magistrate's Yamen and gets hurt, I'm afraid he can't even keep the throne.
To put it bluntly, no matter how hard I try, it's all in vain. Why should I try? Zhu Youzhen knew that in the eyes of the imperial court, a good fan king is a fan king who doesn't do anything. If you show literary talent and ability, it will make them suspicious.
Because of this, Zhu Youzhen ordered his bodyguard, the commander of the Royal Palace, to lead the troops to attack.
The commander in charge of defending the royal residence, Gao Qinzhong, after receiving the order, did not dare to disobey, so he immediately summoned his guards to prepare for departure.
However, before departure, Gao Jinzhong's master told him that as a hereditary commander of the royal guards, no matter how well he did, he was also a commander of Xiangyang guards. He could not get more things. With this position, he could eat, drink, gamble and make money at ease.
And it's a matter for officers and soldiers to defend the country and the city. It has nothing to do with these guards, so he immediately wrote a letter to commander Li, who is responsible for guarding Xiangyang, and told him that this is your city and your territory. Grab him back quickly, otherwise he will participate in your book.
After Gao Qinzhong kicked the ball out, he thought he had no responsibility, so he was ready to enjoy his glory and wealth. The king of Xiang knew about it, but he was so angry that he didn't even care about it. He gave the Shizi Zhu Youzhen a death order and asked him to take the magistrate's Yamen within a limited time to regain control of the city, Otherwise, he will be deprived of his inheritance.
This made Zhu Youzhen anxious. He immediately called Gao Qinzhong and ordered him to recapture the magistrate's Yamen within a limited time and drive the enemy out of Xiangyang City, otherwise he would deprive him of his hereditary command post.
Gao Jinzhong was still dissatisfied. He said, "my official is responsible for defending the palace. It has nothing to do with the city. The government is responsible for Xiangyang City. It's none of my business. Why don't you ask me to go and call me now?"
Zhu Youzhen was worried. He said, "Xiangyang City is lost and the palace is gone. Where else are you going to be the Guard commander?"
Speaking of this, Gao Qianzhong went helplessly. He lit up thousands of bodyguards and was ready to go.
The only consolation for him is that it is said that there are only 18 people on the other side. Even if you are all Liangshan heroes, you may have limited ability. You are not the opponent of hundreds of guards. When there are many of us, we can drown them as soon as we rush up.
Gao Qinzhong, his ancestor, is a rich man who fought with one knife and one shot on the battlefield. However, it has been said for several generations that he has been completely abandoned. You are very good at letting him recite poetry against women, but it is very difficult for him to go to the battlefield to fight.
What's more, he is an officer, a Qiu Ba, but he also despises being a soldier. His opponent's immobility is Qiu BA's scolding, and immobility is punishment. For him, the status of a soldier is just a salary, and there are no others. Sometimes he is even ashamed of his status as a soldier. If he doesn't have this status, He can go and get fame.
With great reluctance, Gao Qianzhong rode to the magistrate's Yamen under the cluster of nearly 1000 guards, ready to kill the thieves entrenched here.
Gao Qianzhong can't lead troops to fight, let alone March. He can only learn from the practice in the novel. This is to send 100 people as pioneers, open a path in the mountains, build a bridge in the water, and let them rush forward. If he wins, he can seize the credit. If he loses, he can see that the opportunity is bad, grease the soles of his feet and slip away immediately.
Just as Gao Qinzhong was elated and happy about his method, there was an earth shaking cry of killing in front of him. His soldiers ran over in shock. Their faces were like earth and their bodies were like chaff. In a trembling voice, they said, "there are not only 18 Chinese thieves, but tens of thousands."
Originally, the Chinese army had only 18 people, which made them reluctant and timid. It was said that there were tens of thousands of people on the other side. As soon as they walked out of a few streets, they were scared to death. They threw their weapons and ran away immediately.
Work in the palace is just a job. Their job is to protect the palace. As for the safety of Xiangyang City, it's none of their business. It's the officials and soldiers of the imperial court. They are responsible for guarding the land. They don't have to lose their lives for the same job. So when they hear that there are so many people in the other party, they throw away the guys in their hands and run away.
This is because during the period of delay, the Chinese soldiers arrived at the fastest speed. After arriving, they did not hesitate to raise their butcher knives. They killed all the officers and soldiers in the city who dared to resist. If they surrendered, they were ordered to lay down their weapons and assemble in the designated place.
The most important things in Xiangyang City are naturally the magistrate's Yamen and the commander-in-chief's house. After these two places are taken, the most important thing is the king's house of Xiangyang. The king's house of Xiangyang has been handed down for six generations and has accumulated countless gold, silver and jewelry. When Li Dingguo takes Xiangyang City, he must take the city completely and give it to the marshal.
Chen Wenruo was forced to take Yangzhou City; Sun wangniu forced him to take Suzhou City; But he was more powerful than the two. He won Xiangyang, an important north-south town that can be North and south. More importantly, Xiangyang City has vassal kings. If he took this place, he would become a leader in the Chinese army.
Although they also won the king of Germany and the king of Lu successively in Shandong, this is the credit of the commander-in-chief. None of his men has such ability.
Li Dingguo is just a cavalry team. After he took Xiangyang City, he can directly issue orders to the troops who came to reinforce. Although there are more than 3000 people and the official position is Tuan Zheng, he is also obedient.
Liu Jiajun's habit is to worship the strong and obey the strong. Whoever is strong will listen to him. Therefore, they all have no objection that Li Dingguo can control him if he can win this city.
The regiment did not have enough confidence and assurance to easily take down such a big city, let alone defend such a huge city, so he handed over the city and army to Li Dingguo.
Li Dingguo's official rank is still the leader of the cavalry team, but he temporarily sealed himself an official, which is called Xiangyang defense envoy. Winning Xiangyang means that they have won the most important town. They can advance or retreat whether they enter Sichuan in the West or Henan in the north.
After commanding the army and controlling the four gates, Li Dingguo ordered the troops to take over the palace, disarm them and receive their property.
Who knows that their soldiers have just been killed, and the other party is actually ready to resist.
Li Dingguo takes an extreme means to those forces who dare to resist. That is, kill them without hesitation. Whoever dares to resist, kill them without hesitation. He knows that they are the ones who die.
They used to work on the tip of the knife, but they didn't dare to be careless and careless. The other party dared to resist. He suppressed it with a powerful momentum. He shot and killed the 100 pioneers sent by Gao Qianzhong without hesitation, and then sent cavalry to slash and kill them.
The cavalry sent out, invincible, and even disrupted Gao Qinzhong's troops behind. Gao Qinzhong saw that the other party was so fierce and rude that he didn't dare to resist, and ran away with him, but it was good that he didn't run away. As soon as he ran away, the soldiers of the Chinese Army followed him, slashed and killed them with a long knife, killing them recklessly and crying for their father and wolf.
The palace managed to gather more than 1000 bodyguards. Unexpectedly, two or three hundred of them chopped and chopped like melons and vegetables. These soldiers were either killed on the spot or fled and fled into the neighborhood.
Liu Jiajun's respectful sheep King's house in the prosperous age caught the sheep King's father and son and all his descendants
The Chinese army took advantage of the momentum to attack the palace. Liu Jiajun had the experience of taking over the palace. Li Dingguo also learned from the Chinese Army's style of taking down the German palace and the Lu palace. This is to first seal their treasures and food, and then detain all their members.
This refers to the immediate relatives of the king of Xiangxiang, such as his son, the prince, the generals of the auxiliary state, Fengguo zhongnai, etc. all of these royal families were detained.
The women's dependents in the palace are detained separately by them. In troubled times, women's dependents are actually a kind of property.
Whether it is Liu Jiajun or the imperial court, when rewarding meritorious officials, there are treasure fields and beautiful women. The source of these beautiful women is mainly the enemy they defeated.
The Chinese army broke into King Xiang's residence, which scared King Xiang Zhu Yiming to death. He demanded to accept their surrender on the spot.
But Li Dingguo is a very sober person. He knows that all people can accept surrender, only the surrender of the royal family is unacceptable. What they create is the opposition of the royal family, and the contradiction between the two sides is irreconcilable.
So he refused the other party's surrender, listed the other party as a prisoner and detained it temporarily.
At this stage, Li Dingguo took Xiangyang City completely. Li Dingguo was relieved. If he took Xiangyang City, he didn't take the palace completely, but let them set fire to themselves or escape, it would be a fly in the ointment. Looking at the mountains of gold and silver treasures and a large number of beautiful women in the palace, Li Dingguo thought, Give these things to Liu bu. He will have everything.
