This night is destined to be sleepless, and the entire Jiankang City is in chaos outside and outside, and there is hardly an inch of peace!

The uproar of the guards in the south of the big truss is getting louder and louder, and it seems that they are about to approach Taicheng. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoMany Taiwanese ministers in Taicheng, although their lives are temporarily stable, the torment in their hearts is not discounted in the slightest. A few months ago, Liyang broke through Jiankang, and at the most chaotic time, they were also tortured like small people, and even Guangluxun Wang Bin was stripped naked and humiliated by the rebels!

The chaos inside and outside the city is now much worse than the city was broken that day, which made a group of frightened ministers even more frightened, especially since they didn't know what caused this turmoil, whether it was a traitor infighting, or the king's counterattack or the slaves? Everyone has their own guesses, either pessimistic or optimistic.

After midnight, there was finally a news from the front hall of Taiji, Shen Weizhou, the commander of the horses, led the elite troops, according to the edict of Her Majesty the Queen Mother, and had entered Jiankang City!

As soon as they heard the news, the people who had been panicking for half the night suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and some of them could not help but cry with joy, and even knelt down to pray to the heavens, and finally the worst situation did not happen. Wang Shi counterattacked Gyeonggi, and they were finally about to get out of the sea of suffering!

Seeing the hope of getting out of trouble, many people couldn't help but rush out of their residences and wanted to go to Xuanyangmen in the south of Taicheng to take the first step to welcome Wang Shi into Taicheng. However, there are also many people who can't help but think deeply after the ecstasy, and they naturally hope that Wang Shi will return to attack and quell the rebellion and recover Jiankang City. But why is it Shen Weizhou?

In their respective assumptions, it should be Tao Kan of Jingzhou who recovers Jiankang, Wen Qiao of Jiangzhou, Wang Shu of western Zhejiang, and even Xi Jian of Huaibei! But none of these are any, it will actually be a small character Shen Zhezi!

There is no doubt that these people are eager for Wang Shi to recover Jiankang, but in whose hands Jiankang City is recovered is closely related to their future fortunes. In the past, they were in the hands of thieves and could not have to think about this, but now that they are lucky enough to be alive and have hope of getting out of trouble, they have to consider what position they will stand in the future because of this turmoil.

As this consideration went deeper and deeper, even many of the ministers who had already rushed to Xuanyang Gate stopped, and the joy on their faces gradually converged, replaced by heavy thoughts. Then some acquaintances and old friends subconsciously got together to discuss what they should do or what attitude they should take to look at the return of Shen Zhezi and Wang Shi.

"When the king returns, His Majesty the Emperor should live in the main hall to comfort the meritorious people!"

Someone shouted such words, even if he got the approval of many people, and went to the front hall of Taiji together, he wanted to wait for the king to face the king under the imperial steps.

"The importance of the prince's protection and auxiliary country, at this time, it is necessary to maintain the stability of the situation with respectable people!"

Others said this, and at the same time, they all rushed to Director Wang's residence.

"The elders of the Principality of Lu are also desirable!"

Everyone made their own choice at this time, because everyone knew that once Gyeonggi was recovered and the rebellion was put down, there would inevitably be a major adjustment and turmoil in the internal and external situation. If they want to keep not being replaced by others or even have some hope of making progress in the adjustment of the current situation in the coming day, then they must stand firm at this critical moment and make the right choice in order to minimize the risk.

Outside the front hall of Taiji, Shen Ke entered the hall to meet the emperor who had been awakened and panicked, and Kuang Shu also according to Shen Ke's intentions, greatly reduced the defensive range of his subordinates in Taicheng, more than 2,000 soldiers surrounded the front hall of Taiji, and no longer prevented the ministers from coming to face the king, of course, they were not allowed to see the emperor himself, but arranged in the side hall of the front hall of Taiji.

"Brother Ziming, this time we can be said to be in ruins, is Shen Lang sure to rush into Taichung? If he hadn't carried the edict to deter the ministers, it would be really difficult for you and me to calm down the situation! ”

Although he had completely mastered the Taiji front hall, Kuang Shu still didn't feel that the situation had completely turned for the better. In order to concentrate his forces on a safe side, he had given up control of Taicheng, but the news was still sensitive.

Lu Yong took the lead in occupying many access gates in the south of Taicheng, and after the initial panic, the ministers in Taicheng also gathered at this time. Later, if these men were to elect a leader to rush here, he would not have enough reason to turn them away. Earlier, he could not be afraid of these ministers, but now that he has decided to surrender to the imperial court and become an official in the same palace in Japan, it will not be a good thing for him to offend his colleagues harshly.

Although Shen Ke was also anxious in his heart, he still pretended to be relaxed and said: "Kuang Jun, please rest assured, my family Wei Zhou has always rarely spoken falsely, and he will do what he says!" Earlier, I had already consulted with the attendants and right guards in the palace that if those people were clamoring fiercely, they would be willing to come forward to stabilize the situation, and they would never let His Majesty the Emperor be disturbed again. ”

As he spoke, he handed an edict to Kuang Shu and instructed: "Please send this edict to the camp of King Xichi as soon as possible, it is urgent!" ”

The edict was drafted in the name of His Majesty the Emperor, and was written by Liu Chao, the general of the right guard, and all of them signed it, ordering Sima Wuji, the king of Qiao, to immediately send troops to Zhoushan to attack the Yuzhou army there, in order to meet the Wang Shishui army from the east. As long as Taicheng and Zhoushan are recovered, the goal of their operation tonight will be fully achieved!

——————

Shen Zhezi and the others hurried north along the hill, and after more than an hour, they finally arrived at the east gate of the city.

At this time, it was already dawn, and the dark night was blurred like water, and the sky was no longer as invisible as before, and it was about to break.

There was originally a part of the garrison guards at the East Fence Gate, but they had long disappeared at this moment, probably due to the chaos in the city. Shen Zhezi and the others were greeted by Xu Su and others who had already left the city from the guards, as well as Xu Mao and others who had already been picked up by Xu Su one step ahead. Xu Su's department originally had nearly two hundred Longxi pawns, and when he left the city, he was surrounded by more than a hundred guards, and several departments were combined, and there were already more than four hundred people, and most of them were elite Longxi pawns, even if the city was in chaos at this time, they also had the power to protect themselves.

Compared with Shen Zhezi's calmness, Xu Mao's group was much more tragic, including Xu Mao himself, who was injured, and nearly half of them were damaged. Less than 100 people went to attack the camp of 1,000 people, even if all the troops were brave and elite, and took advantage of the unexpected night raid, it was also an adventure.

After meeting, they explained the situation of the operation to each other, Xu Mao and they could be said to have overfulfilled the task, but Xu Su had a little problem here. Originally, Xu Su's task was to coerce as many city guards as possible to participate in the mutiny, so Shen Zhezi did not hesitate to use Nanyuan as a bait and ordered Xu Su to set fire to them immediately after rushing into Nanyuan, in order to attract more guards and cause turmoil.

The first part of Xu Su and they completed smoothly, and several guards in the city joined forces to attack Nanyuan, and those defenders of Nanyuan gave up their duties when they saw this, and no longer resisted, but rushed into Nanyuan first. However, the situation inside made them disappointed, many of the buildings in Nanyuan were still magnificent, and some of the goods were still preserved, but they were far from what these guards imagined, and they really did not match the name of Nanyuan's wealth in the capital in the past.

There was no need for Xu Su and them to do it again, those red-eyed but disappointed guards robbed each other of the few goods, and some latecomers found nothing, and they couldn't help but set fire to vent their anger. However, this move has attracted more guards to join them, and in the past few years, Nanyuan has almost become synonymous with wealth in the capital.

Earlier, the city was broken so suddenly, they naturally didn't believe that the Shen family had an unpredictable prophet who could transfer the goods in advance, so they still rushed to Nanyuan one after another. When they saw that Nanyuan was on fire, they attacked the guards who withdrew from Nanyuan, and the situation was chaotic and almost completely lost their minds!

Xu Su and the others took the opportunity to break away from the rebel army of the Su Guard, and went to Taicheng according to the original plan, wanting to preempt Xuanyang Gate, the gateway to the control city. However, when they arrived at the scene, they saw that the battle was raging there, and the two sides of the battle were Lu Yongbu in Taicheng and the reinforcements sent to Taicheng by Shicheng.

Seeing that he had lost the opportunity and could not do anything, Xu Su could only give up his original plan and go out of the city to meet Shen Zhezi first. However, they did not quit empty-handed, and before leaving the city, they met the King of Xiyang, who was hurrying to Taicheng from the Garden Villa in the east of the city, and easily defeated the guards of the King of Xiyang and took him out of the city.

Although the plan went wrong and failed to seize Xuanyangmen first, Shen Zhezi didn't mind too much about it. The power in his hands is indeed insufficient, and he can provoke such a chaotic situation at present, or because the Liyang army has hardly made more efforts to stabilize the situation and build order after entering the city, and the ruling status quo is extremely fragile, and once an external force intervenes, it will immediately cause a collapse.

To be honest, if Su Jun had been a little taller and could use those high-ranking doors for his own use, Shen Zhezi would not have been able to accomplish this feat. At the very least, the few people he appointed, Zhang Min has fled, Cai Mo has stood by and done nothing, Lu Ye is even more cunning, if any of these people is willing to be used by Su Jun, it will cause great trouble to Shen Zhezi's actions.

Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, Shen Zhezi no longer delayed time, and sent more than a dozen people to Zhoushan to investigate the situation, and he led everyone straight to Jiankang City.

The situation in the city is still chaotic, and the rebels can be seen everywhere. Due to the lack of a unified command and dispatch, the original establishment of these guards has long since collapsed, and they have been reduced to the most basic township party relatives and friends gathering units, shuttling through the streets and alleys, probably not knowing what to do next.

Shen Zhezi and his group of more than 400 people are already one of the few complete formations in the city, and most of them are well-armed. They drove straight in, almost encountered any obstacles, and arrived in front of Xuanyang Gate bathed in the faint morning light!
