Chapter 206: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron
"My lord, Jinling can't be saved, we have to leave quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to leave." One of his subordinates suggested.
"Let's go? Leaving Jinling, what face do I have to see the emperor. ”
"Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, the adults have made all the arrangements, but it backfired, and it is not the adult's fault." The subordinate admonished.
Tang Sai'er thought about it, and there was a hint of resoluteness on her beautiful face. "Pass the order down and let our men carry out the final step."
"My lord, can you do it?"
"Now this is the only way to temporarily stop their occupation of Jinling City. After I finish reporting to the emperor, I will think of other ways. ”
"Yes." The subordinate did not hesitate and immediately ran out of the room.
Tang Sai'er looked around, asked the remaining one person in the house to destroy everything, and after letting the five hundred archers disperse, he left this ordinary house with the only one of his men, and then quickly walked towards the southern city.
In a small courtyard in Nancheng, Tang Sai'er met the person in charge of Jinyiwei's secret agent in Jinling City, an uncle who was almost sixty years old. According to the introduction of Jinling Jinyi Wei Baihu, this old man is very good at collecting intelligence, and the White Lotus Sect was originally silent in Jinling City, if it weren't for this old man, they wouldn't have found out that Lei Junyu and the White Lotus Sect had colluded.
This old man went to Lei Mansion to deliver a dish, and he found a clue, this eyesight, ordinary people really can't do it.
"Liu Tou, is there a way out of the city?" Tang Sayer asked.
"My lord, is it because things have changed?"
"Yes. The plan failed, so when our men have done their final mission, you can leave with you. ”
Old man Liu agreed, and walked back to the house, not knowing what to do. After a while, Old Man Liu came out, but it was as if he was a different person. The beard on his face was gone, and his waist was straightened, and he became a middle-aged man in his forties.
"My lord, follow your subordinates." After Old Man Liu finished speaking, he didn't clean up anything, and walked away.
Lao Liu Tou took Tang Sai'er and the two of them all the way to the south of the city, missed the city gate, and when he encountered the rebels of the White Lotus Sect, Lao Liu Tou was not nervous, and he actually faced them and reported an identity. The pair of White Lotus Sect rebels let them go very easily.
The three of them then walked all the way under the city walls, and when they came to a quiet place, two guys were waiting there.
"Liu Tou!" When the two saw Lao Liu, they came up to salute one after another.
"Get us out of town." After Lao Liu finished speaking, the two people whistled, and immediately lowered a large hanging basket from the city wall.
Lao Liu Tou took Tang Sai'er and the two to the hanging basket, and then was hung on the city wall.
There were seven or eight people dressed as soldiers on the city wall, and when they saw Tang Sai'er and Lao Liu getting off the hanging basket, they stepped forward to salute one after another. Only then did Tang Sai'er know that these seven or eight people turned out to be spies of Lao Liu Tou's development. This guy is awesome.
Subsequently, these seven or eight soldiers let Tang Sai'er and the others down from the outside of the city, but Lao Liu Tou did not leave.
When Tang Sai'er disappeared into the morning light, Lao Liu Tou and the seven or eight soldiers changed their clothes again and left the city wall.
As soon as Tang Sai'er left, countless loud noises suddenly broke out in the city, and the flames soared into the sky.
The armory, official warehouse, water transport wharf and city gate of the defenders of Jinling City were all attacked by explosives and medicines, and the armory collapsed directly for a time, and countless weapons were reduced to ashes. The grain in the official warehouse suffered huge losses, and hundreds of thousands of tons of grain were burned.
The Jinling City Water Transport Wharf was bombed to pieces, and at least 1,000 large and small ships were lost. The gates on both sides of the water transport wharf, which suffered the greatest loss, were blown into pieces of wood chips.
Even if the White Lotus Sect occupied Jinling City, with the gap between these two city gates, it would be quite difficult to defend it.
Tang Sai'er's move directly caused the White Lotus Sect to lose half of its plan. After all, their original plan was to use the armory in Jinling City to arm more White Lotus Sect disciples, and the granary would allow them to hold out for a long time. But now, there are no more.
The White Lotus Sect hadn't discovered this situation yet, and after discovering it, it would definitely go crazy.
Tang Sai'er didn't see this, she had already rushed to Jiangling City. Now that the White Lotus Sect has launched a rebellion, there will definitely be a chain reaction elsewhere, and there is no need for her to continue investigating.
Tang Sai'er rushed to Jiangling City, and after meeting with some of the remaining Dongchang fans, he immediately came to the garrison barracks of Guangling City.
Regarding Tang Sai'er's identity, the general of the garrison naturally didn't dare to say anything, and immediately rushed towards Jinling with his subordinates. Subsequently, Tang Sai'er sent people to contact the garrisons of many cities around Jinling City, asking them to support Jinling at the same time.
A week later, Tang Sai'er had gathered an army of 10,000, and he followed the defenders of Lanzhou towards Jinling.
What Tang Sai'er didn't know was that at noon on the day he left Jinling and arrived in Guangling, the White Lotus Sect had already taken control of Jinling City, and all the defenders in the city had surrendered except for those who had fled.
Jinling City fell into the hands of the White Lotus Sect, and then the White Lotus Sect disciples near Jinling City set off towards Jinling City one after another, gathering more than 50,000 horses in just three days. In addition to the officials who fled in Jinling City, the officials who surrendered thought that they could save their lives, but they were all cut off by the White Lotus Sect.
After occupying Jinling City, the White Lotus Sect immediately issued orders to the White Lotus Sect followers in various places, and as a result, the next day, more than 20 cities in Jiangnan rebelled, most of which were exterminated by the local government, but there were still five or six cities taken by the White Lotus Sect.
For a time, the White Lotus Sect suddenly gained momentum in Jiangnan, and it had the momentum to sweep Jiangnan.
Tang Sai'er took the 10,000 troops from the surrounding cities and quickly arrived outside Jinling City. However, if these armies that are not subordinate to each other want to cooperate, Tang Sai'er must integrate them, otherwise he will not be able to defeat the White Lotus Sect, but he will collapse.
The army stopped fifty miles outside Jinling City, and Tang Sai'er began to take power.
Many generals were naturally very dissatisfied, but they were all taken in the identity of the deputy director of Tang Sai'er East Factory, and they did not dare to resist, so they had to obediently hand over power.
At the same time, on the one hand, Tang Sai'er reported the situation here to Liang Jia, and on the other hand, he issued an order to send a messenger, ordering the garrisons in various parts of Jiangnan to encircle and suppress the White Lotus Sect.
Gangnam was in turmoil again.
When Liang Jia received Tang Sai'er's report, it was already three days later.
Looking at Tang Sai'er's letterhead in his hand, Liang Jia didn't have much worry. For the incident of the White Lotus Sect, he had already been prepared, and this was why Tang Sai'er had been secretly investigating.
Although Tang Sai'er's arrangement did not prevent the fall of Jinling City, Liang Jia also knew that she was not responsible for this matter, and could only say that she had mistrusted those garrisons who had no combat effectiveness at all.
