Chapter 220: Jinling (II)
A group lined up in formation, converging into one, looking at the field, it was a sea of red, riding at the same time, densely packed in the sun, and from time to time there were weapons shining dazzlingly in the sun.
The people in the fields in the distance suddenly fled, and some boldly looked through the crack in the door, only to see a sea of red on the horizon in the distance.
20,000 people marched forward neatly, the army was tightly organized, and there was an overwhelming momentum of chalky suppression.
Looking at this battle array, the eyes of all the spectators showed a look of awe.
At this time, the entire Wuyue, especially the vicinity of Jinling, was in chaos!
Jinling Prefecture and counties have fallen into the hands of the Chu army.
Several Chu troops, all the way at a speed, the counties they passed through or surrendered or defended, but they could not be stopped, and were captured by the Chu army, after the capture, the Chu army did not stay, and smashed the Yellow Dragon.
Clear-eyed people immediately knew that Wei Yue's qi was exhausted, and at this time, watching this mighty army, his heart was even more moved.
At this time, in a phalanx, Wang Hongyi's imperial chariot was among them, surrounded by three thousand cavalry, these three thousand were all of the highest grade in terms of equipment and horses, and they were all leftovers.
There were seven or eight generals around, and these people were different in style, but all of them were full of spirit.
Under the protection of their embrace, Wang Hongyi sat on the royal car, walking neither fast nor slow.
"Your Majesty, after half a day, you can reach the outside of Jinling City, I really can't imagine it, the road is unimpeded, it seems that the entire defense line of the Wu army has collapsed. Zhang Youzhi was not far away from Wang Hongyi on horseback, and suddenly said with emotion.
"Lone never thought that the Wu army would be so defeated. "Thinking of the momentum of the Wu army when he fought with him on the river in the past, and then looking at the current situation in Wudi, it is really a collapse, which is embarrassing.
Wang Hongyi instructed: "Pass the order, before noon, go another twenty miles, and then rest!"
At the sound of an order, the army once again accelerated its march.
In Jinling City, at this moment, this city is already under martial law.
Since the Chu army besieged this city, the loud noise outside kept sounding, and there were no more people on the streets, and teams of patrol soldiers patrolled the streets day and night, and when they found suspicious people, they were immediately arrested.
When they arrived at Yamen, they were tortured to extract confessions to see if they were sent in by the Chu army, so the people in the city were very panicked.
Although they were afraid of the disaster caused by the military disaster, the panic caused by the Jinling defenders made the people even more afraid.
For a while, the family was closed, and they didn't dare to go out at all, for fear of causing trouble for themselves and their families.
At this time, the streets of Ben prosperity looked particularly bleak.
At the intersections of important streets, soldiers stood to check the occasional passerby.
The doors of every house are closed.
There were many fires outside the city, the sky was reflected in purple, and from time to time there was a muffled thunderous sound in the distance.
The soldiers in the city patrolled and forbade traffic, but in the courtyard of the family, there was still a banquet, and they exchanged views in secret.
The situation in the city did not reach the ears of Wei Yue in the palace. Or maybe it's not that it hasn't arrived, but that he simply doesn't have time to care about it now.
The constant information made him angry again and again.
This morning, Wei Yue was eating in Chengqian Palace, he didn't sleep well for several nights, and now he can't even eat, alone, with a gloomy face, constantly walking around in the main hall.
In the main hall, although it is not the empty appearance before, a group of palace maids have been recruited, but in the past few days, Wei Yue has been short-tempered, dozens of people have been dragged down one after another, and it is lucky to be beaten to bed, and there are weak girls, who were beaten to death with sticks, just because of the tea served, Wei Yue, who was angry, felt untasteful, and sprinkled all the anger in his belly. At this time, although human life is low, such a tyrannical monarch makes them very afraid.
When Wei Yue walked back and forth in the hall, they were all serving cautiously on the side, and if they looked carefully, they could see that their bodies were faintly trembling B At this moment, someone rushed in from the outside, bowed in front of Wei Yue, and replied: "Your Majesty, I just intercepted a few suspicious people at the north gate, and after interrogation, they are all several lords of the Ministry of Officials, and they want to take advantage of the chaos to leave the city, and they have now been imprisoned in the prison, waiting for Your Majesty to ask." ”
Hearing this, a sinister smile suddenly appeared on Wei Yue's face: "What else do you ask? Kill directly! Immediately pull it out, call all the officials of the ministry, and let them see it with their own eyes!"
"No!" the general ordered.
After Wei Yue went through this incident, he was extremely angry and calmed down.
No, he couldn't just wait for the rabbit to think like this, his mood gradually calmed down, he walked to the door, and said to the guards guarding the hall outside: "Pass the order, order the civil and military officials to go to the hall and wait, and tell them if you have something to do." ”
Wei got the order, and he went to summon all the lords to the main hall.
"Lian doesn't believe it, the 50,000 defenders of Jinling will not be able to hold a big city!" Although the people in the city are constantly rioting, in Wei Yue's opinion, the attack of the Chu army is far more threatening than the riots in the city.
If the restlessness of the people in the city is due to the encouragement of some people, or the influence of rumors, and the shaking of the war, then as long as the Chu army is repulsed, everything will return to normal!
At the same time, Wei Yue also believed that with a few checkpoints outside Jinling City, it was not so easy for the Chu army to get close to the front of the city.
But even so, it is an indisputable fact that it has fallen behind.
In this case, Wei Yue hoped that reinforcements would come over to support, so that the inside and outside could work together to repel the Chu army.
It would be better to possibly wipe out the main army of the Chu army in the realm of Wu.
Thinking of this, he said to the attendant who was standing respectfully on the side, "Go and polish the ink for the Lianpu paper." ”
"No. ... , the chamberlain hurriedly walked to the side of the desk, laid out the paper for Wei Yue, and began to grind the ink again.
Wei Yue walked over, picked up the pen, and wrote a letter to Xu Wenhui with the polished ink.
The letter was written very simply, mentioning the ambition of the king of Chu and the intention of destroying Wu first and then entrapping Wei, and asked Xu Wenhui to send troops to aid Wu in order to prevent the Chu army from continuing to annex.
wrote another letter to Guo Wentong, asking him to pose a threat to Shu Chu in order to contain the troops behind his back.
Three such letters were written.
After writing it, he called three of his henchmen and secret guards, and asked them to hurry up with the letters, set off separately, and rushed to various places.
Of course, even if the three of them see the letter, they may not be willing to help him, but it is clear that after the Chu army destroys Wu, they will attack Wei and Qin next, even if these two people don't want to help, they will definitely raise troops to contain him.
In Wei Qi's view, although the reinforcements will not come too quickly, with the defense of Jinling City, even if it lasts for half a year, it will not be a problem, and the grain and grass in the city are enough to last for a year.
Thinking of this, the corners of Wei Yue's mouth flashed with a sneer......
Jinling City, in the Imperial Palace.
In the main hall of the outer hall, the courtiers under Wei Yue's tent have all come here, and even Xungou, who has been saying that he has been sick for several days, has been summoned into the palace. I haven't been here in the palace for a long time, and Xungou's expression seems to be calm, but in fact, he has a lot of emotion in his heart.
In the past, when he and his senior brother first arrived at the General's Mansion, although the mansion at that time was still small, it was far less magnificent and vast than the palace in front of him.
At that time, Wei Yue, although he was only a generation of powerful ministers, the weather on his body was just the momentum of the dragon, but he was full of vitality in terms of luck.
Where is it like this, in the huge palace, the yin qi is extremely strong, with his Taoism, he naturally feels that there are many unjust souls in the palace, wandering around, and the atmosphere of Wei Yue's ascension to the throne as the emperor can't suppress this resentment at all!
With a faint sigh, the dog stepped forward and walked towards the inside of the main hall.
After entering the main hall, some officials who had a good relationship with him stepped forward to greet him. Shungou responded one by one with a smile on his face.
Looking closely at the faces of these people, they are all gray and black, rich and dangerous, I am afraid that the end will not be too good.
Xungou didn't say much, and when he said this to others, not only would he not make the other party grateful, but it would only cause endless trouble.
He is now disheartened, and only hopes that after there is a result here, he can get out alive, and if he can leave alive, he will find a place, recuperate, and then find a way out.
If there is a damnation, then die!
He is an abandoned son, even if he returns to the mountain gate, I am afraid that there is no way out.
This kind of cognition makes Xungou very helpless, but he is helpless.
Whoever let the mountain gate press the wrong treasure at that time has already fallen.
And the gates, and the tribes, all began to think of taking their place.
The world is a battle, and after I go back, I am afraid that there will be no peace.
Just as he was thinking, there was a burst of music outside, and then an attendant shouted outside with a sharp voice: "Your Majesty has arrived, everyone in the hall hurriedly stood on both sides, and Xungou also walked to his place and walked to the temple door." Look at the past.
I saw that surrounded by everyone, Wei Yue was dressed in the clothes of the Son of Heaven, his face was sinking like water, and he slowly walked in from outside the hall.
In the end, he was born as a general, half a life of fighting horses, walking, or walking in a tiger's step, but in the eyes of Xungou, he could only turn into a long sigh.
Wei Yue, this is the end!
Xun Gou sighed in his heart, although Wei Yue looked majestic on the surface, and he was dressed in the Son of Heaven suit, which made him even more majestic, but in the eyes of a cultivator like him, although Wei Yue was still surrounded by dragon energy, he was already showing a twilight appearance, and his foundation was even more unstable, and he could dissipate at any time.
Once they are scattered, they will be wiped out.
Wei Yue slowly walked up the steps, turned around, and sat on the dragon chair in the center, his gaze sweeping over everyone in the hall.
When sweeping over Xungou, Wei Yue's gaze paused slightly, but Xungou didn't seem to notice it, just stood there with his head down, looking extremely respectful and humble.
Wei Yue frowned, swept the others again, and after sweeping them all, he slowly spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, although Jinling is at a temporary disadvantage, this is only a temporary predicament. Gu had sent a letter to the King of Wei and the King of Qin, presumably they would send troops soon, as long as Jinling held out for a while, the Chu army would be able to retreat...... Do you have any plans to defend the city?"!~!
