In the direction of the Prince's Mansion, the sound of killing was still shocking, and the palace was blazing, Lin Hu excitedly suggested to Zhao Xing: "Lord, we should take advantage of the great victory to chase down the remnants of the enemy and take the opportunity to relieve the siege of the Prince."

Zhao Xing glanced at him: "What do you know, it is in our interest to let them fight for a while." Then he looked at Lin Hu, who was like a fool, and ordered: "What are you still doing in a daze, don't hurry up to find torches and set fire along the street." ”

Lin Hu looked at the surrounding houses, and reminded Ai Ai: "This is the national capital, and here are the people's houses." ”

Zhao Xing despised the bad people of Lin Hu: "This is the capital of Zhongshan, not mine, here are the people of Zhongshan, not our Zhao people." Besides, if you look at these dilapidated streets, they are uneven, and we have set them on fire to promote the regular construction of their cityscape, or they will need to be demolished in the future. ”

Lin Hu opened his mouth and stammered.

Zhao Xing ignored him, took a torch handed over by a subordinate, wrapped his face with a flag of the Sima family that was thrown on the ground, looked at the frightened eyes behind a window, and shouted in the accent of the Zhongshan people: "Come out, follow our Sima family, kill the king of Zhongshan, and then Lao Zhou will be the king and make you the general." ”

The frightened trembling pair asked, "Has the Sima family rebelled?" ”

Zhao Xing nodded firmly: "Yes, we are going to kill the king, by the way, do you support our Sima family, or do you support the king?" ”

This frightened eye hesitated for a moment, and then flashed with the light of loyalty: "Master teaches that the monarch and the minister are always the same, no matter how wrong the monarch is, the courtier cannot rebel, as the so-called king let the minister die, and the minister has to die." ”

Zhao Xing nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, Confucianism has been so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so I am pleased." However, it is your kind of thinking that is very detrimental to my family, so I will burn your house as a punishment. Then he kindly reminded: "Why don't you run away quickly, and convey our family's rebellion and your loyalty to your neighbors." ”

The man immediately nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, I should convey your disloyalty to more people, and then we will organize and fight against you." ”

Zhao Xing watched him flee and rushed onto the street, jumping up and down to call for the people, and threw the torch in his hand on his thatched house: "It's messy, it's best to mess up for ten days and a half months, that's really a good show." ”

One fire after another was lit, and groups of people, trying to hide from the bystanders, were driven into the streets by the fire. They were originally a bunch of lowly blind followers who went with the flow and could not control their fate, but now they had a mind of their own and knew who they should oppose.

The opposition to the Sima family is not only because of the instigation of the Confucian scholars with wide robes and big sleeves, but more importantly, the people of the Sima family have burned their houses and belongings, leaving them penniless and homeless, and the Sima family is their enemy.

The fierceness of the Zhongshan people and their clear grievances made them pick up swords and guns, and let them kill the enemy who destroyed their family, the Sima family.

Sima Zhou, who was in the center, had been preparing carefully for a long time, and the battle had just started very smoothly, but he never expected that the person from Zhao State, who he thought should be the most easily solved, would behead his proud nephew Sima Li in the blink of an eye, and in the blink of an eye, he would kill his 5,000 army.

Such a result made Sima Zhou truly feel the ability of this intermediary of the Zhao Kingdom: "No matter whether my turmoil is successful or not, I will get rid of this intervening person, whether it is for our family or for the sake of this Zhongshan Kingdom." ”

"Sima Xiang, you immediately rectify the rout, kill that person again, no matter what happens, you must come back to me with his head."

Sima Xiang immediately answered the order loudly: "Huh." ”

As a result, he had not yet begun to straighten out the panicked rout, and on the long streets on all sides, there were countless people, armed with weapons, under the leadership of the militia commanders or officials, shouting from all directions: "Kill the national thief, kill Lao Zhou", and kill them like a tide.

These people are soldiers, and they are used to being conscripted into battle, and they are used to automatically forming a team and forming a team according to the time of conscription

Warband, although they don't have a charioteer as a core commander right now. However, he had officials at all levels as the core, and a large number of noble scholars as the core, and they shared the same hatred, and they did not hesitate to kill the enemy who burned down their houses and left them homeless.

Faced with such a situation, a calm Sima Zhou was also blinded, because his confidence in launching this war was that he believed that he occupied the hearts of the people.

In the past few years, the king's house was indeed shrewd and capable, and he really worked hard to make the people love.

But since the victory of Zhengyan, he defeated the invading Zhao State, which made Zhongshan Wang Cuo proud, and he was empty because of pride. He began to feast and drink for victory, cast various ritual vessels to worship the ancestors and gods for victory, sing and dance every day for victory, and recruit the world's beauties for victory. At the same time, in order to have a mausoleum that matches his great achievements, he began to build a mausoleum that his ancestors had never had, and began to loot the world's gold and jewelry shells to prepare for his own burial.

The current Wang Cuo has lost the hearts of the people.

And himself, the dignified old Zhou, has the credit of conquering Yan for the strength of Zhongshan, the credit of winning thirty cities for Zhongshan, the labor of resisting the invasion of the Zhao people and the great victory of the house, and the kindness of sympathizing with the people and asking for the lives of the people, he believes that as long as he raises his arms and shouts, the people of the world can follow him to overthrow the tyrant. At the very least, the people of the world should be watching from the wall.

However, all this seems to be wrong, the people from the wall, suddenly turn against themselves, attack themselves, what is going on?

In fact, he didn't know that the current Zhongshan people had agreed with the Confucian idea of loyalty to the monarch and no longer admired heroes.

Sima Zhou was ready to stand up and explain to the people.

But in this short period of time when he was hesitant and confused.

Sima Xiang, the most decisive young generation of the Sima family, showed his talent without hesitation. After hastily reorganizing the three or four thousand newly reorganized family routs, he then issued an order to suppress the rebellious people.

The family is armed, everything is based on the interests of the family, they don't dare to kill Zhao Xing, but they still have the ambition to kill these people.

So, after scurrying to calm their minds, they raised their spears and slaughtered the swarming people.

It's just that in the blink of an eye, on the long street, the family armed forces of the Sima family and the armed forces of the angry people who lost their homes launched a tragic battle.

Looking at the Zhongshan people who were killing in front of him, Sima Zhou looked up to the sky and sighed sadly: "It's over, the situation is out of control, Zhongshan is over." ”
