Chapter 1523 The inside should be combined with the outside
The prince's team had left quickly before the refugees rushed to Nancheng, and the car drove like the wind along the way, and when they arrived at the prince's mansion, the sky was already slightly bright, and the shouts of Nancheng came automatically, reaching into the sky, shattering the peace of the capital.
Along the way, the prince continued to wear the order, Nancheng was impacted, at this time to want to organize the soldiers and horses of Nancheng Wu Jingwei, it is already extremely difficult, can only let Nancheng Wu Jingwei fight separately, the prince does not expect Nancheng Wu Jingwei to stop the footsteps of the refugees, he only hopes that Nancheng Wu Jingwei will not give up resistance, try his best to resist, and buy time for the manpower transfer of the capital.
In recent times, the prince's main energy is on the front line, although he is in the capital, but he controls the deployment of Qinshui's troops and horses, and tries his best to ensure the logistics supply of the front, in his plan, even if Qinshui breaks the bridge, Tianmen Road will not retreat lightly, they will inevitably build ships on the south bank, cross the river, the battle of Qinshui, it is bound to be a protracted battle.
Because of this, although the crown prince is also wary of turmoil in Beijing, his main energy is ahead.
He didn't expect that the refugees outside the city would become the biggest threat to the capital in the end, and the refugees outside the capital would turn against him first.
There are a large number of refugees outside Xicheng, and the prince is preparing to use the strategy of first inside and then outside, when blocking the refugees outside the city from entering the city, first cut off the chaotic party in the city, and then come forward to appease the people outside the city, which is nothing more than opening the granary at that time, but he didn't expect that the other party had already planned, and now that he thinks about it, the refugees outside Xicheng are obviously just a trick to attract the attention of the capital to the direction of Xicheng, and the breakthrough point of the other party is on the side of Nancheng.
The refugees outside the south city have already been bewitched by people with other intentions, organized, and then the inside and outside should be combined, and broke through the south gate in one fell swoop, the guard force of the south city gate is not strong, most of the Wu Jingwei are scattered in the various squares to guard against the chaos of the party, the troops are scattered, now the south city gate is broken, Wu Jingwei is difficult to quickly assemble, can only fight separately, can not form a strong combat effectiveness, the entire capital is already in danger.
The refugees rushed into the city like a flood, and most of them had lost their minds under the anger of the people, and at this time, they could not listen to any advice, and the only way to make them retreat was to use force to suppress them, but what made the prince troublesome was that the forces he could now call on were really few.
In addition to the Wu Jingwei who defended the capital, the tun guards who could be mobilized were all transferred to Qinshui to block the offensive of Tianmen Road and keep the capital.
But in the Hebei Rebellion, Han Santong took away a part, the Southeast Rebellion, Lei Guheng took away another part, and the soldiers and horses guarding the capital gradually dispersed, and in the end, the remaining soldiers and horses of the Tun Guards had to be transferred to Qinshui to resist Tianmen Road, and the Tun Guards who garrisoned the capital could be said to be all empty, and even the royal guards of the empire who guarded the imperial city were all taken away because the emperor was on his northern tour, and the main force was all taken away, leaving only more than 1,000 people to defend the imperial city. That is a must not be used again.
On the one hand, the prince sent people to order the other city gates to close the gates and strengthen the garrison, so that no more refugees from the other gates could rush in, and on the other hand, he ordered the general banners of Wu Jingwei to send troops and horses to the south as much as possible to suppress the refugees who rushed into the capital, although he knew that even if the Wu Jingwei gathered in the whole city, it was only a few thousand people, but this Wu Jingwei was already the only soldiers and horses that could be mobilized in his hands.
The prince had just entered the palace, but a group of officials had already greeted him, but the first one was Shen Keqiu, the imperial envoy of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who was also the core figure of the princelings, at this time Zhao Quan had already sat in a wheelchair with the prince, and Shen Keqiu had already stepped forward and said anxiously: "Prison country, the south city gate was broken, refugees poured into the city, killing people and setting fires, do you know about the prison country?" ”
The prince said, "You all already know? ”
"Jianguo, what should I do now?" Shen Keqiu said anxiously: "There are no soldiers and horses outside the city that can be mobilized, and there are hundreds of thousands of refugees outside the city, if all of them rush to the city, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
"Even if they didn't rush in, it would be unimaginable." The crown prince's expression was grim, "The palace has mobilized Wu Jingwei and is ready to organize a suppression, but the strength is still weak......!" ”
An official behind Shen Keqiu said: "Your Highness, the refugees rushed to Nancheng, now Nancheng is in chaos, and Xiaguan is worried that Nancheng's arsenal will soon fall into their hands, if so......!" ”
The prince's brows tightened.
The three major arsenals in the capital are all stored with weapons and equipment, and the refugees who rushed into the city now have very simple "weapons" in their hands, but once they really occupy the armory in the south city, open the armory, and take out the weapons stored inside, then a group of refugees will have elite weapons in their hands, even if it is a rabble, its destructive power is also amazing.
"There is only one way to do this." The crown prince said in a deep voice: "Lord Shen, you are ready to set off immediately, go to the east and north cities, gather men, open the arsenal, and suppress the rebellion. ”
"Gathering men?" Shen Keqiu was stunned.
The prince frowned and said: "Dongcheng is mostly mansions, there are countless officials, and there are domestic slave guards in their mansions, you will come forward in person now, go to tell them, let them organize all the house slave courtyards in their own mansions, and then go to the armory to receive weapons, and after receiving the weapons, they will be directly handed over to the Wujing Guards in each square to command." ”
When Shen Keqiu and the others heard this, their eyes immediately lit up, "Your Highness is saying that it is necessary to stop the house slaves and the guardians from suppressing those chaotic people?" ”
"Not bad." The crown prince nodded and said, "Only these people can use it now." You sue them, the refugees outside the city kill people and set fires, and kill people when they see them, if they have to shrink back one by one at this time, they will not end well at that time, you will say that it is the order of the palace, as long as the refugees are repelled and the war is successful, the palace will definitely be rewarded. ”
Shen Keqiu knew that there was no further ado, so he arched his hand and said, "Xiaguan will lead people to act separately." "Immediately said goodbye and left the prince's mansion, quickly took the limelight, and organized people to prepare for resistance.
When Shen Keqiu and the others retreated, Zhao Quan immediately ordered the guards, "All doors are closed, mobilize all manpower to guard all parts of the mansion, but if there is any abnormality, report it immediately." Then he pushed the prince into the hall.
As soon as he entered the hall, Liuli had already greeted him, and when he saw that the prince was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately asked people to take hot water, and served the prince to wash his face, and then said softly: "Your Highness, is there something big in the city?" The sky to the south was fiery red, and there seemed to be a fire burning there. ”
The crown prince tried his best to make himself appear calm, and said with a faint smile: "Don't worry, it's just that some chaotic people are making trouble, and the palace has sent someone to suppress it, and it will soon be calmed down." ”
"Your Highness, you haven't eaten for a day, the concubine will go and get you some food......!"
The prince shook his head, turned his wheelchair, faced out of the door, stared out of the gate with his eyes, and muttered, "This capital ...... If you really can't keep it? ”
The dawn has not yet come, the glimmer before dawn shines through the window lattice, spilling into the house, this is a very ordinary house in Beijing, deserted, in a remote place in Beijing, the dilapidated door "crunch" was pushed open, the golden gun with the tiger on the back of the bear will hold the golden gun into the house, and then the Han Wang Yingping, who is quite a bit wolf, held a big knife in his hand, and also followed the house.
Behind him, Tian Hou and three or four subordinates were also about to follow into the house, when the golden gun looked over his eyes and said coldly: "Yingping stays, everyone else get out ......!" ”
His voice was cold, King Han, Tian Hou and the others were all stunned, the corners of Yingping's eyes twitched, and Tian Hou made a fist with one hand, but he finally pushed out the door.
The furnishings in the room are extremely simple, there is only a wooden table, and there is only one chair, the golden gun sat down on the chair, glanced at Yingping, and said lightly: "Close the door!" ”
His tone was like an order that could not be disobeyed, Yingping frowned, and did not close the door, but said lightly: "This king is very grateful to you for coming to the rescue, but ...... You are not qualified to dictate to this king! ”
"Whew!"
As soon as the strong wind moved, the golden gun was like electricity, and the cold and sharp tip of the spear was already pressed against Yingping's throat, Yingping changed color slightly, but he still reluctantly sneered: "You want to kill my king?" ”
"In front of this general, don't call yourself this king anymore." The golden spear general said coldly: "Since you have made an oath to break with the royal family of Qin, you will only obey the order of the Heavenly Lord from now on, then you will no longer be the Han King of Qin, and this title will no longer need to be used." If he wants to kill you, Ben will be able to kill anyone, including you, if necessary. ”
"Ben Wang...... As I said, I'm working with you, not your subordinates. Yingping's cheekbones protruded, "I have a cooperative relationship with your heavenly father, not his subordinates, and I don't have to obey his orders." ”
"You're a smart guy." The golden gun general said lightly: "Cooperation is just a nice rhetoric, if there is no us, you are just a poor worm who pretends to be crazy and stupid, and you will never have a chance to make a comeback." You are a smart person, and there are some things that everyone understands, so you don't have to pretend to be confused. ”
The corners of Yingping's eyes twitched, and he pondered for a moment before he said, "Even if I really want to act according to the plan you set, it can only act according to your heavenly will, and you have no right to give orders to me." ”
"Ben Jiang now represents the Heavenly Father." The golden gun general said coldly: "Ben will ask you, why did you assassinate Yingxiang tonight?" The task given to you by Ben will be to let you contact a qiē manpower available in the city, and wait for Ben General's order, and the inside and outside should be combined, and Ben will deploy outside the city...... You acted on your own initiative and organized this assassination without reporting it to the general beforehand, are you guilty? ”
