Chapter Ninety-Nine: Peeling Back the Thread

Jin Huiqun suddenly shed old tears, and fell to the ground all of a sudden, he said to Zhong Xu and Shu Zhenghe with a very sincere expression: "Two generals, I have long been dissatisfied with the Dongyue royal family, I have worked hard for many years to guard the mouth of the swordsman, and in the end I deprived me of the swordsman battalion commander, and also called me to Jianye, and on the bright side, I was added to the knighthood, but in fact, I was imprisoned and monitored, so as soon as I heard that the Western Wei army entered the city, I wanted to make a contribution, as for what I said about the Western Wei Dynasty, I was anxious to chase Emperor Wen at that time, it was forced to say, and I hope the two generals will forgive me, Thinking that I am bent on dealing with Dongyue, and I have the same goal as everyone, I hope to be gracious. ”

When Zhong Xu heard this, he smiled coldly, but Shu Zhenghe was angry and angry, and immediately pulled out his blade, Zhong Xu stepped forward, pressed one hand on his sword, and then asked: "General Jin, I want to ask, why did the swordsman battalion take the initiative to attack the north bank?" ”

"This." Hearing Zhong Xu ask about the swordsman camp, Jin Huiqun couldn't speak for a while, he couldn't tell him that he was bewitched by the trial. But Zhong Xu seemed to be very concerned about this matter, and said, "You are not allowed to lie." ”

Jin Huiqun saw that it was difficult to dodge, so he could only reply: "This is Your Majesty's arrangement, the Zhennan Army and the Swordsman Battalion have been facing each other for many years, and Your Majesty has the heart to take back the north bank." ”

Zhong Xu was very dissatisfied with this answer, he stepped forward, with a hint of murder in his eyes, and said word by word: "I said, don't lie." ”

Jin Huiqun was frightened by Zhong Xu's eyes, for fear that Shu Zhenghe behind him would come up and kill himself with a knife, so he could only tremble and say: "It was the personal eunuch next to Your Majesty who asked me to send troops to the north shore." ”

"What about the father-in-law?" Zhong Xu then asked.

"When you entered the city, he wanted to intercept His Majesty, and I killed him." Jin Huiqun no longer dared to hide it.

Shu Zhenghe didn't believe it, he sneered and said, "It's such a coincidence? ”

"Really, really, don't dare to deceive the two generals." Jin Huiqun explained in a panic.

Zhong Xu sorted it out in his mind, and said in a somewhat soothing tone: "You mean that your father-in-law next to your majesty wants you to send troops to the north shore, what is the purpose?" ”

"He himself said that he was from the north, and promised that as long as I listened to him, he would make me a prince in the future." After Jin Huiqun said this, the whole person bowed his head and buried himself on the ground.

Zhong Xu muttered to himself: "North." Shu Zhenghe stepped forward and whispered: "People from Northern Qin? ”

"No, think about it, Bao Anxin, Jinfan Army, Wankou, Xuancheng Battle, these things came together, and in the end, we happened to bump in." After Zhong Xu finished speaking, he thought about it alone again. Shu Zhenghe vaguely understood what Zhong Xu said, but he didn't have the patience to delve into it, kicked Jin Huiqun down, and roared at him: "What about your emperor? Are you hiding? ”

Jin Huiqun hurriedly got up and returned to Shu Zhenghe with a helpless face: "I really don't know the whereabouts of Your Majesty, Your Majesty is cunning and has deployed many teams of suspicious soldiers, I really don't know where he is." ”

Shu Zhenghe looked at Jin Huiqun, and his heart didn't show a little blood, you won't tell the truth, he is ready to go up and teach the former chief of the swordsman battalion a good lesson. Before he could make a move, Zhong Xu stopped him and said, "Let him go back, we have more tricky things to deal with." ”

Hearing that he could leave, Jin Huiqun hurriedly made a move, turned around and left quickly. Along the way, he didn't dare to pause, and went straight back to the Imperial History Mansion and locked himself in the study alone.

Zhong Xu's expression was solemn, he had already guessed who Jin Huiqun was talking about in the north, starting from receiving the military report from Bao Anxin, to the Jinfan Army's recovery of Jiujiang Port, to the advance of the swordsman battalion in Weixukou, and finally the Battle of Xuancheng. He vaguely saw Jiuli manipulating step by step behind the scenes, arranging the swordsman battalion to take the initiative to attack Northern Qin, the purpose should be to make the two armies entangled in the mouth of the water, and the Cefu is mostly contained by the tribes in the south, the Jinfan Army mutiny, the Xiakou army occupies the Jiujiang Port City, which is undoubtedly to buy time for the main force in the Wankou area to advance eastward, but in the battle of Xuancheng, a middle-aged scholar repelled the puppet army, which contributed to his own raid on Jianye, I am afraid that the next thing to face is not only Cefu. Now thinking back to Bao Anxin's previous military report, he was originally a little suspicious, and at this moment, it is certain that there are also people from Jiuli in the Western Wei army.

Zeng Tianlin and Yuan Mutou led most of the soldiers of the military battalion to Xiakou, preparing to go from Xiakou to the waterway to Misukou, but as soon as they arrived at Xiakou, they found that the Jinfan Army of Jiujiang Port on the opposite bank was assembling, and the two armies formed a confrontation.

Yunmengshan, Qinggu, Feng Xunzhi and Xiang Xian escorted the seriously injured Qidao people to finally arrive, and as soon as they got out of the carriage, Feng Xunzhi went to the medical door and called Ye Weiwei. Ye Weiwei saw the seriously injured enlightener, she carefully examined it, in addition to the heart veins, the meridians around the body were corroded by black qi, that is, the enlightener has a deep martial arts, and if she were an ordinary person, she would have died a long time ago. Ye Weiwei asked a few people to carry the enlightener to the medical door, and administered needles to dispel the black qi for him, and for two whole days, most of the black qi was finally dispersed, but the enlightener still did not wake up. Ye Weiwei wrapped his whole person in herbs and soaked them in a medicine barrel, hoping to rely on the medicinal power to pull out the remaining black qi, Xiang Xian has been guarding the Qidao people.

Ye Weiwei took the time to ask Feng Xunzhi about the whereabouts of Chen Fan, Feng Xunzhi didn't know that Chen Fan had died, and he told Uncle Ye that before he came back, Chen Fan and Xiao Zhongqin should have gone to Xuancheng. After learning the news of Chen Fan, Ye Weiwei still couldn't rest assured, she said to herself, there shouldn't be an accident, the scene a few days ago was just a dream. Sun Lin and Dong Yun are still on the way.

Cefu hurried overnight, and on the afternoon of the second day, he met Chen Yinuo and several people, Xuan Dong stepped forward and hurriedly asked about the situation of Jianye City.

Xuantong confirmed that Jianye was lost, knowing that it must be a bitter battle next, he ordered the whole army to rest for a moment, and at the same time asked in detail about the situation of the Xuanjia army, Chen Yinuo did not provide too much useful information, only knew that Zhong Xu personally led the army over, Jianye City was breached that night, the Xuanjia army drove straight in, the defending army was defeated and retreated, and finally Emperor Wen decided to evacuate Jianye. After breaking Jianye City in a while, Xuan Dong was a little surprised, he needed to reassess the combat strength of the enemy army. In addition, Emperor Wen's whereabouts are unknown, and Xuan Dong is worried that Zhong Xu will capture Emperor Wen as a hostage, so this siege battle will be even more difficult.

Chen Yinuo saw Xuan Tong's face embarrassed, and he said: "Governor, it must be difficult to go this time, but Your Majesty, Jianye is the foundation of my Dongyue, even if it is difficult, I must recover Jianye." ”

"I understand that this war concerns the whole of East Vietnam, and I will do my best." After Xuan Dong finished speaking, he patted Chen Yinuo on the shoulder, nodded affirmatively, and left to move to the front army. Immediately ordered Mo Buyu and Mo Liu to lead the cavalry of the front army to rush to Jianye.

Chen Yinuo's heart was a little wider, looking at the back of Xuan Dong leaving, he was glad that the governor of Dongyue was still the governor of Dongyue. He came all the way, originally a little worried, with Xuan Dong's prestige in the East Vietnamese Army and the power of the government, he learned that Jianye was broken and Emperor Wen was missing, so he could use Huiji as the basis to divide one side. At present, it seems that Xuan Dong is still loyal to Dongyue, but the war situation is critical, and it depends on whether the governor of the southern military list can turn the tide.

The news of Jianye's occupation soon spread to the Central Plains countries, and Wang Pingyao followed Cui Ji all the way south, and heard the news before he arrived in Poyang County. Cui Ji didn't expect that the Western Wei raided Jianye and took it at a very fast speed, which was mixed news for him. The good news is that the Xuanjia Army is lone and deep, even if there is follow-up support, but after all, in the territory of East Vietnam, as long as the East Vietnamese legions make up their minds to exterminate at any cost, in the end it will definitely be a situation of defeat for both sides, which is extremely beneficial for them to raise troops. The worry is that Dongyue Kyoto is broken, and Emperor Wen is very likely to be captured, so it will definitely urge the other two countries to send troops, and the situation will be very chaotic at that time, and if they want to gain a foothold, they must use various means to maneuver between countries, but the capital of the circle is the force, and they need to act as soon as possible.

Western Wei, Northern Qin, and Southern Chu soon received the news that Jianye was captured by the Xuanjia Army, Emperor Huan of Western Wei was extremely excited, Zhong Xu's blow was enough to record history, and he ordered all the armies in Western Wei to enter a state of readiness, while going south, preparing for a full-scale invasion of East Vietnam, and also ordering the border of Northern Qin and Southern Chu to pay close attention to the movements of the two countries.

The same was true of Emperor Cheng of Northern Qin and Emperor Ming of Southern Chu, and even the most sluggish people sensed that this was a great opportunity, and both countries gathered their legions and moved closer to the border.

In the area of Anhuikou, Yuji, Zhang Jue and Jiuli were extremely annoyed, and the Xuanjia army of Western Wei took the opportunity to take Jianye, which almost completely disrupted their plans. Zhang Jue and Mo Zhong decided to immediately send troops back to Jianye and take advantage of the opportunity.

Lincheng, Pang Tuo was defeated in Xuancheng, and the morale of the Lincheng army was low for a while, but Wu Huan insisted on sending troops, and Pang Tuo and Yu Nier followed Wu Huan to send troops to Xuancheng again. Yu Si's puppet was not much left, and he was also secretly following.

Within a few days, with Jianye as the center, various forces of military forces poured in.

In Jianye City, Gu Xujiao has been trying to find a way to leave Jianye, the four city gates were closed by the Xuanjia Army, but this does not mean that there is no way to leave, Gu Xujiao has lived in Jianye since he was a child, he knows that a waterway can go straight to the city, but now it is winter, the waterway is cold, and Emperor Wen is injured again, and it is quite difficult to leave. He tried to mention this waterway to Emperor Wen, but Emperor Wen showed great interest, it was too dangerous to stay in the city, and he would be discovered by the Xuanjia army at any time, so it was better to take a risk.

Gu Xujiao got the permission of Emperor Wen, so he sent someone out to investigate, this waterway is located near the east gate, as long as you dive for a while, you can go outside the city, but the waterway is quite close to the east city gate, it is very easy to attract the attention of the Xuanjia army defending the city, Gu Xujiao thought of a way, and after dividing a group of sergeants to attract the attention of the defenders, he then dive out of the city close to the waterway. He informed Emperor Wen of his plan in detail, and Emperor Wen acquiesced and waited for it to get dark before preparing to leave.

At night, Gu Xujiao asked a group of soldiers from the Nine Gate Admiral's Mansion to go to the vicinity of the east gate first, and he was the people from Emperor Wen and the Longyuan Feng group, and then sneaked to the vicinity of the waterway. Jin Muya and the soldiers of the Imperial History Mansion were also called over, Emperor Wen's purpose was very simple, Jin Huiqun's position was uncertain, and keeping Jin Muya by his side was also a kind of containment, so although Jin Muya was extremely unwilling, Gu Xujiao and Emperor Wen still forcibly took her to the vicinity of the waterway.
