"This Fan Tingquan, why hasn't he come back yet?"
In a courtyard northwest of the Governor's Mansion, Zuo Gongquan walked around impatiently, looking outside the house from time to time, and whispered to himself.
Previously, Fang Gongteng ordered a group of soldiers from the Bingzhou Daying Prefecture to guard the Governor's Mansion and assist the Governor's Mansion officials in guarding the cells to prevent Turkic spies from robbing the prison. Zuo Gongquan, as the top general of this army, naturally had to have a place to handle official duties and temporarily rest. .
This house is not large in area, but it is very close to the Governor's Mansion. It is the property of a certain official in the Governor's Mansion. In this emergency situation in Taiyuan City, this small house was given up and used as Zuo Gongquan's house. This man will be in a temporary "office" near the Governor's Mansion.
However, the other soldiers in the Bingzhou Camp did not receive such good treatment as him. At this time, they were still on duty at various intersections and around the cells of the Governor's Mansion!
Previously, Fan Tingquan was ordered by Zuo Gongquan to "response" Zhao Deyan. A quarter of an hour has passed. It stands to reason that there should be news there, but Zuo Gongquan has not received any news until now. How can he let him Not urgent
The room was quiet, and no one answered Zuo Gongquan's words, because he was the only one listening in the room at the moment.
At this moment, Zuo Gongquan suddenly heard a faint sound of weapons clashing from the east. His eyes suddenly sank, he quickly opened the door, walked out quickly, and stood in the small courtyard. Looking to the east, there was the back door of the Governor's Mansion, and it was also the specific place where he sent Fan Tingquan to meet Zhao Deyan!
Did something happen over there~
Zuo Gongquan suddenly felt shocked!
This time he assisted the Turkic spies to deal with Zhao Deyan, but he took a huge risk. If the matter was exposed, not only would he not get a penny of the benefits promised to him by Anshun Mountain, but even his current status would not be guaranteed. , it should be said that he can't even protect his life!
"No! Can't fail!"
Zuo Gongquan was heartbroken. He gritted his teeth and was about to gather his troops and rush to the back gate of the Governor's Mansion to support Fan Tingquan. At this moment, a soldier suddenly ran in in a hurry and shouted at Zuo Gongquan who was standing in the courtyard. Baoquan said:
"General, it's not good! Fan Tingquan encountered Baiqi at the back door of the Governor's Mansion. Inside the Governor's Mansion, Feng Baotou and the rest of the Baiqi were gathering the government officials to rush to the back door of the Governor's Mansion to capture Fan Tingquan!"
"What? Baiqi? You mean Baiqi?"
Zuo Gongquan was shocked when he heard the soldier say that there were hundreds of cavalry in the governor's mansion. His expression changed greatly, he stepped forward and grabbed the sergeant's collar, and shouted.
"Yes... yes! It's Baiqi! The brothers in the governor's office saw it with their own eyes! Feng Baotou treated the leader with great respect and even called him General Li!"
The sergeant replied tremblingly.
"What? General Lee?"
When Zuo Gongquan heard this, he almost fainted from fright. His face was ashen, and he murmured to himself: "It's Li Junxian, the commander of Baiqi, who is here in person! How come there is Baiqi in the governor's mansion? How come Li Junxian happens to be there too? …”
Zuo Gongquan can also be regarded as a middle-level general in the Bingzhou camp, so he knows that Baiqi exists in Taiyuan City today, and he also knows that Li Junxian is also in Taiyuan City!
"General! What should we do now? Fan Tingquan has brought a few people with him. Once he is surrounded by Feng Baotou and Baiqi's people, I'm afraid it will be a disaster~!"
The sergeant saw that Zuo Gongquan's eyes were dull and he didn't speak for a long time, so he asked anxiously.
"What should we do? What else can we do? Before Bai Qi recovers, let's go! Let's go quickly! Let's go through the back door~!"
Zuo Gongquan came back to his senses and said through gritted teeth.
If only the government officials of the state government blocked Fan Tingquan's way, he might have led a team of people to fight with the government officials of the governor's office without stopping, and rescued Zhao Deyan in the shortest possible time;
But now, after learning that even Baiqi was involved in this matter, why didn't Zuo Gongquan understand their every move? It is very likely that Baiqi had already noticed it, so the other party would be around the Governor's Mansion in advance. Plant a spy!
He knew that Baiqi was the most elite army in the Tang Dynasty. It would not be difficult for his soldiers to deal with the poorly trained government officials, but if they were to deal with Baiqi, it would be difficult to win, let alone eliminate them in a short time. !
Once time passes, the soldiers patrolling in the city will definitely come to support when they hear the movement. By the time his left power is complete, he may not even have a chance to escape!
Therefore, knowing that Baiqi was in the governor's mansion, especially Li Junxian, the commander of Baiqi, was also behind him, Zuo Gongquan did not dare to take any risks!
At this time, he just wants to save his life!
A moment later, Zuo Gongquan and three or five of his confidants quickly walked out of the back door of the house, and then headed west without looking back.
But the guards guarding the main entrance had no idea that the house was completely empty. There was no one inside!
… … … … … … …
"Surround it up! Surround this place! Don't let anyone go!"
Two-quarters of an hour later, Li Junxian led a group of hundreds of cavalry and governor's office servants to the outside of the house where Zuo Gongquan was located. He gave an order and the whole house was surrounded by troops.
The soldiers guarding outside the house were shocked when they saw this. They didn't understand what happened. However, due to their duties, the two guard sergeants stepped forward and asked: "You... what are you doing? This is General Zuolang." The temporary government office.”
"Zuo Gongquan collaborated with the enemy and treason, and colluded with Turkic spies! Where are the others?"
Li Junxian asked in a deep voice.
"Zuolang will collaborate with the enemy and treason?"
The two guards were dumbfounded when they heard this. They were just ordinary soldiers. In fact, they didn't know Zuo Gongquan's plan. After realizing it, they quickly got out of the way and said to Li Junxian: "General Zuo Lang is inside. !”
Li Junxian did his duty, kicked open the courtyard door, and was the first to rush in. Baiqi and the state government officials behind him also rushed in.
In the small courtyard, there was suddenly a "clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang" sound of people rummaging through boxes and cabinets.
"Reporting to General Li, there is no trace of Zuo Gongquan in the house!"
After a while, all the government officials and Baiqi hugged Li Junxian.
Li Junxian frowned and looked at the two guards who had been detained. The two men quickly said: "General, we have been guarding the door all the time. We are sure that General Zuolang has always been inside and has never gone out! "
At this moment, a Baiqi came over and clasped his fists and said: "General, this mansion has a back door! Zuo Gongquan should have known the news in advance and escaped through the back door!"
Li Junxian looked gloomy and was silent for a moment. He waved and said, "Leave a few people here to continue the search. The rest will follow me back to the Governor's Mansion! Now that the Sifang City Gate has been closed, Zuo Gongquan can't run far!"
